#the pendant is a heart with a rose gold rose in the middle

[theforestyousee]

My step mom gifted me an essential oil diffuser and a bunch of essential oils from her favorite brand and the lavender one actually smells of lavender and fills my home with the scent of flowers and it is one of the best gifts I’ve gotten.

YOUR DEAR FRIEND, DAN HENG — DAN HENG

⋆｡˚ ❀ summary: friends don’t buy each other matching necklaces, right? especially not ones with blatantly romantic undertones… ⋆｡˚ ❀ contents: fluff, gn!reader, matchmaker!street vendor in the luofu LMAO ⋆｡˚ ❀ wc: 1.1k+ ⋆｡˚ ❀ a/n: written for @starlitsawamura's garden of eden collab! :> i chose camellia as the flower!! just a lil fluffy drabble with best boy dan heng

If you had to choose only one thing you adored about the Xianzhou Luofu, it would be the multitude of booths and vendors that lined the bustling streets. The Luofu had its many sanctuaries of peace, but the areas of chatter and liveliness was what really caught you attention. 

This time, much to your pleasure, Dan Heng had offered to accompany you on your latest visit. 

“Ooh! Isn’t this so pretty?” you exclaimed, eyeing a shiny gold necklace with a dainty pendant of a camellia flower in the middle. In the center of the flower was a sparkly little diamond. It was no wonder the glimmer immediately caught your eye. 

Dan Heng walked up behind you and peered at the necklace over your shoulder. He nodded once. “It looks nice.”

You giggled at his short response. “What a compliment coming from Dan Heng himself.”

“I try,” he remarked wryly. “It’s a camellia flower, correct?”

“That’s right!” the vendor who was lingering nearby butted in. She was an older lady with a bright smile. “The beautiful camellia. A flower the conveys with it the feeling of love and affection, burning passion. I’d say it puts even the grandiose rose to shame.”

Gently, you clasped the pendant between your thumb and forefinger, brushing the golden petals. 

“I like it,” you said with certainty, debating on whether or not you should buy it right now.

Dan Heng looked between the pendant and your neck. “It suits you.”

You hid your smile. Somehow, such simple words were enough to warm your heart. It was only natural when such words came from Dan Heng. Your dear friend.

“But that’s not all!” the vendor cried once more. “Let your Auntie here show you.” She shuffled around to the other side of the cart before returning with another necklace dangling between her fingers. “There’s a matching pair!” 

Your eyes widened in excitement at the sight of the matching necklace. The pendant was the same, but instead of a diamond in the middle it was a small pearl. The chain was slightly thicker and heavier. You thought it would look good on Dan Heng, especially over his high-necked black shirt. 

“I love it!” you chirped, immediately reaching for your coin pouch. “They’re both so cute.”

You paused before giving into your impulses. It wasn’t like you’d have much use for two of the same necklaces.

As if sensing your hesitation, the vendor held the two necklaces together, revealing them to you as if they were a precious treasure. 

“Do you know the language of the flowers, dear?” she whispered conspiratorially. “‘My heart is aflame for you’. ‘I burn for you.’ That is what these necklaces say. And that is why you and your boyfriend should definitely buy these! Your love will be destined to last forever.” 

“My boyfriend?” you said, looking around wildly before your gaze landed on Dan Heng. Once you realized the vendor’s implications, your cheeks heated up. “Oh! Dan Heng? He’s… He’s not—”

“We’ll take it.” 

“Wonderful!” 

“What?” You blinked. 

It all happened so fast. Dan Heng, pulling out his money and paying before you could; the vendor, counting the credits and handing the camellia necklaces over to him. Your eyes could hardly keep up.

“This Auntie thanks you for your patronage,” said the vendor with a proud smile as Dan Heng bowed his head in gratitude and walked away with you in two. “Come again soon!” 

When he reached a spot underneath the shade of a tree, he offered the necklace with the diamond to you. 

“Here,” said Dan Heng. “It looked like you really wanted it. I hope you do not mind I bought it for you.” 

You shook your head, touched that he would do something like that for you. There were many things you loved in life, and of those many things, one of them was receiving gifts. “I don’t mind at all. I’m happy you got it for me. Thank you, Dan Heng!” 

Taking the necklace into your hands, you attempted to clasp the chain together behind your neck. After a few tries, you sighed in frustration. 

A few more moments passed before you heard someone clear their throat. “Do you need assistance?” 

He maneuvered behind you as you nodded. “Yes, please.”

Slowly, Dan Heng brushed the loose strands of hair on your neck aside and took the ends of the chain between his fingers. His fingertips felt cool against your skin, and your back straightened at the delicate touch. 

Their was restraint in his movement. It felt as if he was trying his hardest to not make direct contact with you, in fear it would be unwelcome. But that only made the accidental touches even more electrifying. You held back a shiver as his knuckle brushed against your bare neck. 

Dan Heng was soon able to clasp your necklace together and stepped away once he did. “There.”

“Thank you.” You touched the pendant with a smile, secure in its spot at the base of your neck. “Would you like some help as well?” 

He considered it for a moment before nodding. “Sure.” 

Swiftly, you took his necklace from his palm and had him turn around. Placing it around his neck, you fastened the chain together. You decided it was much easier when you could actually see the clasp.  

“There,” you announced, moving back to admire the pretty gold necklace against Dan Heng’s black shirt. “It looks so good on you!” 

He chuckled, his cheeks turning pink. “You as well.” 

“Thank you,” you said, fighting off the bashfulness you felt at his compliment. Clearing your throat, you managed to ask, “So, what do you think of the hidden meaning the vendor mentioned?”

Dan Heng considered it for a moment before replying. “It seems the camellia is a very passionate flower. In that sense, it suits you. In terms of the love and romance aspect…” he trailed off, face growing even more red. “Who knows what the future holds.”

You blinked, your ears burning with heat. That might have been as close to an admission as you would get from Dan Heng. 

“Are you implying that the future may hold something like that for us?” you said slowly and curiously, hoping you weren’t interpreting his words the wrong way. 

He smiled almost hesitantly. “I’m uncertain myself what the future has planned, but I wouldn’t mind taking a chance on us.”

For a moment, you were stunned into a shocked silence before happiness overcame you. You laughed at how Dan Heng could be both forward and indirect at the same time.

“Well, we already have the matching necklaces for it,” you said teasingly, touching the camellia pendant once more. “I’d love to take a chance with you.”

A Patient Man FINAL Chapter 6

Summary: Sebastian swore to never fall for another co-star again. Until Y/N drops into his life.

*smut in this chapter*

Previous chapter

1 week later- Valentine’s Day

Sebastian spent all of Valentine’s day schmoozing Y/N’s family.  He started with a sexy morning oral surprise for Y/N.  He then woke the kids up with breakfast in bed, giving them little Valentine baskets filled with goodies, then got them ready for a whole day of activities.  After a big family outing day, the kids were taken to Y/N’s parents’ house, who had had Valentine’s goodies sent to their home earlier that day as well, so he and Y/N could get ready for a fancy dinner.  

As they got ready Sebastian watched Y/N get dressed in her flowy red velvet dress.  He had been sleeping in her room since their first sexual encounter last week, and they had been much more open with each other.  Changing in front of each other, not hiding their nakedness from each other, even showering together.  Sebastian felt like since then their relationship had morphed into something more profound, and that they were at the precipice of not just having full sex with each other, but something more than he had ever had before.  He was contemplating marrying her, adopting the kids, and intertwining their lives together fully.  He would ask her today if he felt like she would say yes, but he wanted to make sure he did all of this right, and make her feel comfortable with the direction this was heading.

Y/N was finishing putting in her earrings as he put on his suit jacket.  She looked amazing in red, the velvet dress like a kaftan with a deep V down her chest, her red wedges hidden underneath giving her 2 more inches in height, her hair curled, pulled and pinned to the side of her head, diamond earring studs in her ears and deep red lipstick on her lips, making them look fuller and even more kissable.  Sebastian walked up behind her as she finished the last earring, looking at her reflection in the mirror and planting a kiss on the side of her neck.  

“You look ravishing, my love,” he complimented, his hands finding her hips and pulling her back towards him.  Y/N giggled, her wide smile making her teeth look striking against her red lips.  

“And you look like a snack, Mr. Stan,” she complimented him back, turning towards him and adjusting his suit jacket.  “You always look amazing in all black,” she stated, giving him a long lookover.  He had a black Prada turtleneck on, with a black jacket, pants and shoes.  He had a red rose in his jacket breast pocket for the occasion.  “It really brings out your eyes,” she said as she gazed up to his face, giving him a smirk.  Sebastian groaned at the look she gave him and the intonation in her voice, making her giggle again.

“Don’t start, Y/N, or we’ll never make it to our reservation,” he said warningly.  She merely gave his chest a light shove, teasing him.  “But I think you’re missing something,” he said, eyeing her up and down again.

“What?  What’s missing?” Y/N said, looking down at herself, then towards the mirror.  

“Hold on,” he stated, pulling a jewelry box out of his pants pocket.  Y/N watched him in the mirror with wide eyes.  As he opened it she saw a necklace sitting on a navy blue velvet setting.  It was a long gold chain with a small, champagne colored sapphire pendant in the middle that was shaped like a heart.  Her eyes bulged even wider at the gift, her mouth falling open slightly.  Sebastian smiled at her reaction, pulled it out of the box and wrapped it around her neck from behind, clasping it gently as she adjusted it down her chest.  It hung low into her cleavage, complementing the red dress and her skin tone.  Y/N held it daintily in her fingers, staring at it.  

“I know you’re not a big jewelry person, especially flashy or overly shiny things, but I wanted you to have something from me.  A small reminder that you own my heart,” he said, running his hands from her neck down to her shoulders then her arms, resting there as she took in the gift.  Y/N’s hands slightly trembled as she placed the pendant back down to her bust, looking at herself in the mirror again.  Sebastian noticed her eyes were shining with unshed tears. “Hey, no crying, especially on Valentine’s day,” he joked, rubbing her arms.  

“No, I’m not going to cry, it’s just…” Y/N looked up, blinking her eyes so her tears wouldn’t fall and ruin her makeup.  “It’s beautiful,” she whispered, looking back at him in the mirror, “I love it.  Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he stated as he rubbed her arms again, then leaned down to kiss the top of her head.  “We should get going.”

Sebastian drove them to the Denver Aquarium.  Y/N always loved walking through the aquarium and there was a nice restaurant upstairs where you could watch the fish swim as you ate.  After the walk-through they sat to eat.  The restaurant was decked out in Valentine’s day decor, and a person dressed as a Valentine’s mermaid was swimming in the pool with the fish that night.  They talked and laughed as they ate their seafood platters, enjoying the evening as best they could with the sound of clicks going off every once in a while from someone thinking they were sneaky getting a photo of them.  

As the night was winding down, the restaurant was clearing out and they were finishing their desserts, the energy shifted.  Y/N was being more flirty than usual, reaching out and holding Sebastian’s hand, playing footsie with him under the table, smirking and making sexually charged comments and compliments towards him.  Sebastian could feel the change and welcomed it, flirting back with her and flustering her as much as he could.  

Once the bill was paid and they were headed back home, Sebastian kept a hand on Y/N’s thigh, rubbing up and down her leg and periodically squeezing the flesh of her thigh.  Y/N was lightly skimming the arm that was holding her with her fingers, angling her body towards him.  Every once in a while he would move up high enough to trail his pinky finger close to her folds, where on one pass he realized she wasn’t wearing any underwear.  He moaned at the revelation and squeezed her leg hard making her gasp at his firm grip.  

As they arrived back at the house and quickly got inside they were instantly on each other.  Sebastian pinned her against the door as he locked it, hiking her leg up around his thigh as he kissed her deeply.  Y/N’s hands were everywhere, running up his chest and neck into his hair.  In a frenzy of clothes flying off, panted breaths and bumping into walls they finally made it to Y/N’s room.  Sebastian threw Y/N onto the bed, making her laugh as she bounced on the mattress.

“Excited are we?” she teased as she scooted up the bed.

“You have no idea, sweets,” he answered, crawling up the bed to her.  He caged her onto the bed, laying across her and kissing any spot he could reach along the way.  He marveled at the little heart pendant hanging between her breasts and kissed it as well.  As he reached her neck and sucked on a sensitive spot below her ear she squirmed, her fingernails running down his back and making him moan at the sweet pain.  “I’ve been waiting so long, so patiently.  Can I have you tonight, my love?  Will you let me have you…all of you?”

Y/N pulled his face away from her neck and made him look at her.  She had that hunger in her eyes that he was newly introduced to, and also something resolute and trusting.  “I’m all yours, Sebastian.  I’m ready.”

Sebastian kissed her deeply, scooping her into his arms to lay on his side and hold her.  “Thank you, love-of-my-life,” he mumbled between kisses.  His hand roamed down to her pussy, his fingers deftly working her clit, making her squirm hard against him.  He worked her up to her first orgasm, making her writhe and loudly moan beneath him, then licked her nipples as he shifted to hover over her again.  He pulled her legs up to settle on his hips as he positioned himself between them.  He pumped his cock a few times before slowly running the tip between her folds, flicking her sensitive nub and making her gasp.  

“Last chance, are you sure about this, sweetness?” Sebastian asked.  

Y/N pulled his waste closer to her with her ankles behind him, making the tip of his cock slide a little more into her opening.  “I’m sure, Seb, please…don’t tease me.  I don’t want you to stop.  I want you,” she panted, her hands squeezing his biceps in affirmation.

Sebastian nodded, aligning himself again and then slowly pushing forward.  He hissed as her pussy swallowed his cock, the tight squeeze of her walls making him worry he would blow too early.  Y/N gripped his forearms as she tried to relax and adjust to him.  It was the first time she’d done this in years and it showed as they both gasped and panted through him dragging himself into her until he was fully seated.  Once his balls hit her ass he paused, letting her adjust and trying to not completely lose it immediately.

“Jesus, you feel so good, baby,” he moaned, staying still as he tried to relax.  “So tight, just give me a minute…I’m trying not to bust, God you feel so good,” he hissed again as he felt her squeeze around him.  “Don’t…don’t do that, please, I wanna take my time,” he gasped.

“It wasn’t on purpose,” Y/N hissed back.  Her legs were relaxing around him as her pussy got used to the stretch.  “It just feels good…so full,” she groaned, her eyes slightly rolling.  

Sebastian whimpered at her admission and felt himself pull back and thrust hard into her  making her let out a strangled cry.  “That’s it, baby, let me hear those pretty sounds from you,” he murmured as he slowly thrusted again.  He was agonizingly slow at first then gradually picked up a steady rhythm.  Y/N whined.  She couldn’t decide where to put her hands and opted to just feel all of him as she ran her hands over his arms, shoulders, chest, and like she had done when they’d filmed the dancing scene all those months ago, softly scratched her nails down his nipples.  His hips stuttered harshly at that as he tried again not to cum and grunted roughly.

“You’re killing me babes,” he growled.

“Please, Seb, faster,” Y/N begged, trying to grind her hips against his to get him to move.

Sebastian took a moment to look at her.  Her pupils were almost completely blown, her mouth hung open and panting, the red lipstick still intact but smudged on the one side, her chest, neck and cheeks flushed.  The heart pendant was askew on her chest and tucked against her breast.  The sight made him feel a possessive streak that he wasn’t used to, like he had marked her as his own with it.  He swore he’d never seen anything so erotic.  

Y/N’s nails scratching down his stomach grounded him back to the present.  He gave her a smirk as he pulled back so that only the tip of his cock was still inside her.  She tried to pull him back in again with her legs but he wouldn’t budge.  She peered up at him confusedly.

“Whose pussy is this?” he asked.

Y/N gave him a half-hearted glare, her hands stilling on his sides, but she tried again to pull him in with her ankles.  He almost completely pulled out, making her whine.

“Whose pussy is this?” he asked more firmly as he moved a hand behind her head to grip the back of her neck, making her look at his face.

Y/N squirmed under his stare and lost the heat of her previous glare, her eyes softening into a submissive expression.  “Yours,” she whispered.

Sebastian pushed back in just a little but held her head up more so that he was nose to nose with her now.  “I didn’t hear you, sweets.  Whose pussy is this?” he gave a quick thrust in and out of her and pulled a loud cry from her.

“Ungh!  YOURS, it’s your pussy,” she shrieked through gritted teeth as she fisted the sheets next to her.

“Goddamn right it is,” he snarled.  He thrusted back in more forcefully than he had before, making Y/N mewl for him as he set a staggering pace.  All Y/N could do was hold on tight and enjoy the ride as a string of guttural “uh, uh, uh” littered from her mouth.  He worshiped her body, holding her close, his hands exploring every available space to him, kissing her every time he dipped his head.  She felt weightless, the warm heat spreading through her stomach as the sound of skin slapping skin filled the room.  

“All mine,” he purred.  “Been wanting you since the day I met you, you know that?” he accentuated each word with a deep rut into her hips, feeling himself get a little deeper, making her preen.  “All fucking mine…gonna ruin you, ungh, for any other man, sweets.”

Y/N could feel the invisible string deep in her belly start to pull tight.  His dirty talk was threatening it to snap at any second as he reached a hand between their bodies to flick at her clit.

“Sebastian!” she cried as he rubbed and flicked, his hips driving into her as he hoisted one of her legs up higher over his forearm to hit deeper.

“Yes, say it again, say my name again!” he begged.

Y/N’s arms wrapped around his neck, one of her hands running through his hair and pulling his head back by the nape of his neck.  Sebastian whimpered again, hips stuttering from their rhythm as he gazed at her, her lips just off center from his, her hot breath fanning his face.

“Sebastian,” she moaned lewdly.

“FUCK!” he cried as his eyes rolled back into his head, cock pounding into her one, two, three times, flicking her nub harshly and making them cum together. Y/N cried as she came, her body tensing, eyes shut tight, the orgasm ripping through her like lightning spreading through her nerves.  Her pussy gripped Sebastian so strongly he came with a roar, his head falling back, thick cum filling her up as he rutted against her.  He tried to keep himself up so as not to crush her underneath him but couldn’t find the strength and gently dropped himself across her body.  He laid his head on her chest, letting himself regain his breath as he listened to her rushing heartbeat, his cock still throbbing inside her, making sure she got every last drop out as her pussy fluttered around him.  He gingerly picked up the heart pendant and held it between his fingers as he gently tickled her chest with it.  Y/N was still twitching from the sensitivity but softly carded her fingers through his hair as the blood roaring through her ears lessened.  

Once they both could breath normally Sebastian lifted his head to look up at Y/N.  He paled when he saw tear marks from the corners of her eyes.  “Hey, hey what’s wrong?” he pressed, reaching up to wipe away the streaks.  “Was that too rough?  I’m sorry honey–”

“No, no Seb,” she laughed, wiping away the wetness he didn’t get yet.  “You were perfect.  That was perfect.”

Sebastian shuffled himself up so he could be closer to eye level with her, both of them humming as his cock slipped out of her.  “What’s up, sweets?  I can’t help if I don’t know what’s wrong.”

“Nothing is wrong,” Y/N smiled as she held his face in her hands, her thumbs sweeping across his cheeks and massaging the stubble along his jaw.  “I’m just a crybaby,” she laughed lightly.  “It’s been a long time since I’ve done that, and it felt so…right with you, my moon and stars,” she sighed.  Her eyes were tired and still a little glossy as she studied him. 

Sebastian beamed at her as he could feel the smile on his face stretch wide.  She smiled widely back at him. “Thank you for letting me have you.  Thank you for trusting me,” he whispered, kissing the tip of her nose.  Y/N scrunched her nose at him as he pulled away, making him chuckle.

“You’re welcome.  Thank you for letting me have you,” she answered, her arms weaving around his neck.  “I love you,” she said softly.

“I love you, forever,” Sebastian promised.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR LIKING AND READING THIS! I'm excited to drop another story or some one-shots again soon.

[sleepnowmychild]

So I was actually waiting to have a dream that was somewhat coherent and significant to send to you and I had one last night!!

I was in some weird school type thing that was a cross between a museum and a library. I swear I saw an Artemis statue, the one with the deer (so specific I know) and maybe some other Greek god statues, I think Aphrodite. (I'm an Artemis and Aphrodite devotee but I haven't really been connecting or reaching out to them the past few days cause I'm just tired atm) But anyways, it looked like the hall in the Metropolitan Museum in NYC with the statues surrounding the middle part. Idk how to explain that well.

Anyways, I kept being put into these like tubs of ice water and I would have to climb out. I remember it hurting so bad, the cold.

Then I was outside and it was like this sunny grassy area that I recognize from my campus and I was walking around and suddenly there was little trinkets all over the grass. I remember picking up rose quartz jewelry, heart shaped gold jewelry, a deer statue, butterfly hair clips, and I think an obsidian pendant? My hands were so full but there was so much I couldn't stop trying to pick it up.

I remember seeing some sort of pearl and pink jewelry and when I picked it up I said "Aphrodite!" And in my dream I remembered my mom was near me, and she knows of my practice but I keep it really private because I'm afraid of her judgement so when I said that in my dream I was afraid she would say something to me about it. And then I woke up!!

Well that’s one hell of a dream.

Can’t say I had any idea what the ice was all about. But the repeated presence of deities definitely seems like somethings up. High key would like some of that jewellery for myself too lol.

It definitely sounds like some kind of message or sign, although I’m not too educated on signs from the Olympians tbh but the fact they kept showing up sounds like more than just a coincidence. If anyone who’s more educated on these deities happens across this post by all means chime in. But can say this does feel like some kind of sign or message. It doesn’t seem negative, maybe an assurance it’s ok to take a little break, that they won’t be mad about it. I know that self care IS a pretty big Aphrodite thing after all.

Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part7 Part 8 Part9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 The end

The soft glow of the autumn sun fought with the thick blackout curtains hung up against the white walls. Inside the quiet room was a clean wooden floor with a polished shine. A desk stood in the corner with books, papers and a laptop neatly placed. The room was filled with a gentle and soothing smell of citrus fruits. A large bed sat in the middle, the sheets a crisp white with one sleeping body within its hold.

Raven locks lightly rested against soft light skin. Long thick lashes fluttered. Steel blue eyes gazed at the room before dragging to the clock to see the time. Six. Broad shoulders flexed as a muscular body rose. A snap of a neck echoed in the chiselled body and released tension. Plump lips parted as a gently sigh escaped them. A thick member lay partly stiffened under the clean sheets.

Slender fingers raked back the soft raven hair. Long thick legs swung out from under the sheets allowing a naked man dripping in dark beauty to stand. Fingers locked above his head as his body stretched to a chorus of bones clicking. He moaned in satisfaction and finally felt awake for the day ahead. His plump behind squished as he walked.

Levi scrolled over to his bathroom and eyed himself in the mirror. He ran his hand over his smooth jawline and felt no stubble. He hummed to himself before starting his routine for the day. After finishing in the bathroom, he moved to the bedroom once again. He dragged on his underwear before slowly pulling on a smart black shirt. He pulled on his black tight trousers and tucked his shirt in. He fixed his belt in place and grabbed his special pendant.

He held the pin in his hand that would be pinned to his dog collar. A golden blade pierced a plump red heart. Above the heart a round red gem with four gold pieces coming from them. Each part meant something in the religion. The heart meant a strong heart filled with love. The blade was the courage and strength to keep going. The four pieces were the four pillars of religious teaching, honesty, compassion, charity and wisdom.

He slipped his white collar in before putting the pin in its place. He let out a long sigh and felt hunger stir within him. He needed to feed and he needed a lot. His smart shoes tapped on the pavement as he journeyed through the quiet town full of sinners. He shivered at the heaviness in the air around him. He rolled his shoulders as pleasure filled him. Today he was going to have a great meal thanks to all the locals being sinners.

He softly smiled at the continuous good morning fathers. He noticed the longing looks aimed at him. Many women and men were tempted by him, but all held back. As part of Levi’s position, he had to follow a celibacy rule. However, being a demon like himself he was happy to make love to someone he cared for. He used his celibacy as a tool to keep the people back in this town and not engage in casual sex. Tempting these people was far better of a meal to him than if he were to give in.

As soon as he entered the front garden to the temple, he saw people waiting for it to be open and met the voices of eager people to get in and be with him. He unlocked the door as ladies pawed at him and tried to talk to him, but he managed to fend them off with gentle words. He pushed the doors wide before moving to the next double doors. He opened them wide to reveal tall pillars reaching high to a decorated and painted ceiling. Flowers and plants grew full of life with a tree growing strong at the top of the temple behind the altar.

The temple soon filled up and became lively with people. He slipped into the confessional and turned the light on. He sat back and listened to people’s sinful ways and fed from their negative energy. He fuelled it by giving them vague advice back.

Mrs Harper clung to the lattice as she gazed at Levi. “Father, I long for Robert, but I’m a married woman. What do I do?”

He hummed as he pretended to contemplate the situation. “Our religion teachers us to be open to everything around us, does it not?”

“Yes.” She whined as she reflected. “You are right.”

He turned his head to her and leaned closer making her shiver. He reached up and tapped the heart in his pin. “What is at the centre of our teachings?”

She stared at the heart. “Love.”

“I do not know what your heart says, only you do. Listen to it, tune in to it. Your heart will show you the way.”

He smiled as she thanked him and left. He shivered knowing very well she’ll have an affair, which meant more food for him. He slipped out of the booth for a break, but something pulled him. He felt a bubbling of pleasure inside his chest. He followed the feeling and found a beautiful woman in tight trousers and a sweet jumper. His eyes locked onto a wonderful plump behind. He dragged his tongue over his lips in delight.

Levi moved closer and eyed the energy flowing off the woman and was delighted. He loved the artistic energy, the buzzing of small sins but there was no shame. He was intrigued by the delicacy before him. He inhaled deeply as his eyes rolled back a little. Sweet scents wrapped around him in a loving embrace. He wanted to spend eternity with this energy and scent.

You turned your head and smiled at Levi. “Hello, father.”

Levi blushed at your bright eyes, kissable lips and soothing voice. “Hello, child.”

You hummed a laugh. “I can never get used to that. Being an adult and being called a child is always strange to me.”

“I suppose it takes some time to get used to.” He tilted his head. “Pardon if I am rude, but I know everyone in this town and yet I do not know you.”

You gave your name and offered your hand. You smiled so sweetly as soon as Levi took it. “I just moved in. I’m here to restore your art.”

Levi’s eyes lit up. “Are you?”

You nodded. “I sent an email to let you know I was coming. Did I send it to the wrong person? You are Father Levi Ackerman, right?”

Levi nodded. “Indeed, I am. I did get your email, I just wasn’t expecting…”

“Someone young? I get that a lot.” You sighed and looked back at the art. “I will set up everything tomorrow.”

“My temple is all yours.”

You glanced over at him. “May I have a schedule? I will work around you and your sermons.”

He bowed his head. “I will send you my timetable right away.” He saw you staring at the confessional booth and people waiting to go inside it. “Like to try confession?”

You blushed a little before laughing off Levi’s comment. “I’m sorry I don’t really believe in this sort of thing. I’m not part of this religion. Plus, confessing to a stranger thing seems rather odd to me.” You play with a bit of your hair. “I don’t want to offend you.”

He thought you were cute and sweet. He observed your energy and saw there was something in there, something dark like a fear of someone. For the first time, he wanted to help someone. He was a demon and his role was to feed off people, but with you, he wanted to be a priest and care for you. He wanted that bad energy gone for good.

He released a sigh. “My child, have you ever heard of therapy?”

You frowned making you look adorable to Levi. “People go there to confess things that have been troubling them. I suppose you’re offering free therapy with your confessional booth, huh?” You laughed. “I didn’t think of it that way.”

“You can view it that way.” He shrugged a little. “Most do.” He leaned closer to you and spoke with a deep voice. “So, have I enticed you?”

You stared at the booth and thought about it all. You might not follow this religion, but it couldn’t hurt to get close to Father Levi because you’ll be there for months. “Very well let’s give it a try. I won’t convert to your religion though.”

He felt excitement within him at hearing all the wonderful sins you had. “Just lending a friendly ear.” He guided you to the booth and sat inside. He looked at you through the lattice and felt his heart flutter in his chest. He felt like he was the sinner and not you. “Confess your sins to me.”

You burst out laughing at his line making Levi’s heart soar. “Do you get some sort of kick out of this? Or did you say that on purpose just to make me smile?” You wiped your tears away as you giggled.

He smiled in the dark as excitement filled him. “I want to make you smile so you’ll be comfortable enough to talk. You are not used to these things, so I’m doing what I can.” He leaned and looked at you through the lattice. “Are you comfortable?”

You wiggled in your seat. “I suppose I am. Thank you.”

He hummed a laugh. “You’re most welcome, my silly line worked.”

You grinned at how sweet he was. “It really did.” You hugged yourself and leaned towards Levi. “Tell me, father, do you get some sort of enjoyment from listening to people’s sins? You get all the latest gossip and you can learn all the information you desire about people. I know it’s confidential but surely it must be exciting and some sort of way to know all the secrets? Maybe you’re some sort of devil in disguise. Having all the fun in the world.”

His canines grew sharp as his pupils became black slits. “Wouldn’t that be a fun little thing?”

“It’d be genius. You’ll get fed by people’s sins.” You looked around the small booth and hummed. “Smells nice in here.”

“I keep a clean temple.” He shifted closer. “Do you want to talk?”

You locked eyes with him. “Do you have a sixth sense with this kind of thing? How did you know I have things on my mind?”

He hummed a gentle laugh. “You have this aura about you.” He looked into your eyes. “Something in your eyes as well. So?”

You frowned a little as you processed the screaming thoughts in your head. You pulled at your sleeve a little and nibbled your lip sending off a dark aura. “I guess my biggest sin is myself.”

He fed off your aura, but it hurt his heart a little. “Explain.”

“I outwardly look happy and active, but inside there’s this darkness eating away at me. I truly am my worst critic.” You leaned back and sighed. “It’s nothing special though, everyone has that bad voice, right?”

“You’re right, others have a dark voice.” He turned fully to the lattice. “That doesn’t mean you should think so little of your own. Just because others suffer doesn’t mean you should neglect yourself. Your pain matters. You matter.”

You smiled softly. “You’re pretty good at this.”

“Thank you.”

You let out a long sigh. “Thanks, this was interesting. I should check out the town and get my things together. Do you have a copy of the key to this place?”

“I do.” He slipped out of the confessional and walked with you like he was a puppy following his master. He soon took the lead and let you into his office. “Ignore the daggers you’re getting. I don’t just let anyone in here.”

You looked around to see a lot of women glaring at you. “You’re popular, huh?” You walked in and looked around his office. “Must kill them that you have to stay celibate.”

Levi hummed a laugh as he opened his desk drawer. “I’ve had a few confess that their sin is me.”

You walked over to him. “I’m not surprised. You have a handsome face, you listen, you’re kind and from what I can tell from your tight clothes, you are muscular.”

He stood up and held up the key. “Am I appealing to you?”

You held the key but he wouldn’t release it. “Does it matter? You can’t do anything about it even if I was.” You pulled the key from his hands. “The joys of not having religious laws.” You laughed. “I’ll see you around, Father Levi.”

Levi blushed as he watched you walk away. “See you soon.”

Classical music drifted through the temple. Soft humming matched the delightful tune filling the grand hall. Simple scaffolding rose from the floor to reach the ceiling. Below gazed longing eyes on the woman lying above painting moving stories. Desire and need for interaction burned inside the sly demon. It nipped away at his insides. It consumed him so much that he barely acknowledged those around him.

He approached the ladder up and made his climb. His cheeks burned when he was met with a plump chest sticking up and almost spilling out of the tank top under the dungarees. His eyes ran down at admired your thighs before snapping to your face. You’d been here at his temple for two weeks now and he adored your company and the few chats you both shared, but he desired more.

You turned your head and smiled at Levi. “Hello, father. You checking up on me?”

“Indeed.” He looked up at your work. “Excellent work so far.”

“Thank you. Do you want to join me?” You shuffled over. “I can make room.”

He climbed up and lay back next to you. He stared at the painting above and admired the mixing of colours forming a beautiful painting. “I’ve never looked at this work like this before.”

You hummed a laugh as you continued to paint next to him. “It’s nice, right? Sometimes you have to look at things from a different perspective to truly understand its magnificent depths.”

Levi turned his head and gazed at you. “The same could be said about people.”

You looked over at Levi and smiled. “You’re right.” Your heart throbbed as Levi moved a little closer to you and eyed your lips. You licked your lips as you felt a tingle within you. “Hey, do you want to get a cup of tea? I saw a nice café in town and it’ll be good to have someone who knows this town to show me around, right?”

Levi blushed a little at the idea of this being a date. “Sure. I will climb down first.”

“You got it!”

He ascended the ladder before staring up at you as you came down. He held back a smile as he enjoyed your behind in his face. He shifted to your side and offered his hand to you. “Be careful.”

You held his soft hand and climbed down the last steps. “Thank you.”

He pulled you against him making your aura turn red, but there were cute flutters of pink and white meaning your lust for him had other feelings. He smiled a little at you as his interest in you sparked. He’d never have anyone hold more than lust for him. There was one thing that concerned him, the small amount of fear inside you.

You cleared your throat. “Father?”

He pulled a cloth from your pocket and began rubbing your cheek. “You have paint on your pretty face. I know you are a work of art, but not the kind that needs paint.”

You laughed. “You’re a bit of a flirt.”

“Only with you.” He put your cloth back. “I know you can take it, unlike the others.”

You snorted a laugh. “I do worry about the other ladies.” You walked at Levi’s side as you made your way out of the temple. “I feel like one of them might stab me in my back.”

“That wouldn’t be very holy of them now, would it?”

You giggled. “You’re right.” You let out a long sigh as you moved through the town. “Can I ask you something?”

“I’m all ears.”

You hummed in response. “Are there many sinners in this town?”

He held back a smile as he thought about all the delicious meals he has had since being here. “Indeed. Sins are everywhere, my chi-.”

You jumped in front of Levi and pointed at him. “Don’t! Don’t call me that.”

He tilted his head as the urge to tease you bubbled away. “You are all children of our two gods.”

You turned on your heels. “Yeah, I get that, but I’m not your kid. So, it just seems weird. Plus, I’m an adult.”

He studied you and hummed. “You’re interesting to tease.”

You let out a long groan. “You’re a right ass.”

“Fancy calling the local priest an ass.”

You stretched your arms and pushed your chest out which was noticed by Levi. “I call it as I see it.” You huffed. “Bet it’s weird talking to someone who isn’t part of your little religious group.”

He pushed the café door open. “You’re correct in your thinking. It is refreshing.”

You approached the counter and turned to Levi. “Well, that’s something I guess.” You pointed. “What can I get you? My treat.”

He let out a long sigh as he looked at the menu. “I think I’ll have a pot of tea, along with a lemon and poppy seed muffin.” He didn’t gain anything from eating human food, it was more like a pleasure to do so and it made him appear normal. “How about you?”

You smiled at the attendant. “Could you make that pot of tea for two? I’d also like something with chocolate if that’s okay?”

The attendant nodded with a soft smile. “Of course, I’ll get everything together right away. Shall I place this on your tab, father?”

You stood between Levi and the woman. “Nope! This is my treat.” You pulled your wallet out of your front pocket on your dungarees and handed the money over. “Do we take a seat?”

“Yes.”

You blushed. “Thanks.” You turned around and retreated to a table in the corner before placing your head in your hands. “This is why I don’t socialise.”

Levi sat down and leaned on the table. “What’s the matter? I thought it was rather sweet.”

You lifted your head and huffed. “I should just stick to painting things.”

“It wasn’t that bad.”

You sat back in your seat and studied Levi. “How do you do it? How are you able to be social with others?”

He waited for the food and drink to be put down before he spoke. “Well, it’s my job. When it’s my job, I do it well. If it wasn’t my job, I would be rather happy not being social.”

“Introvert at heart made to be an extrovert.”

He gracefully poured the tea for you both. “You are correct.” He handed you a cup of tea. “I socialise because I must.”

You sipped your tea as you watched Levi closely and tried to figure him out. “Does it bother you?”

He looked at you over his cup. “What?”

“The whole celibacy thing?”

He placed his cup down and felt amused by your question. “Are you asking if I miss sex?”

You shook your head. “No, I’m asking if you miss relationships, dating, waking up next to someone, holding someone you care about, kissing them and the cute moments.”

He thought about all those with you. “I suppose, but I’ve never truly experienced love. Plus, dating is a stressful process. Trying to keep someone to stay around and love you is nice but at the same time it could come crashing down on you.”

You frowned a little. “Did someone break your heart or a friend’s heart?”

He shifted in his seat. “Do you know much about the origins of the divide? When the demon King was born?”

You nodded as you started to think about your knowledge of the religion. “I do.”

He smiled. “A demon met a beautiful priestess. He fell in love with her, they were together and then she left him for some Emperor human and broke the demon’s heart with no cares.”

You recoiled a little as you frowned. “That’s not it.”

Levi tilted his head. “You really telling a priest that?”

“I am.”

He was amused by you. “Very well, you tell me what you think the real story is.”

You let out a long sigh as you prepared yourself. “Everyone knows the original story is a tragedy, correct?”

He cut his muffin and took a bite. He swallowed and adored your cute face as you waited for a response. “Yes.”

You relaxed at his response. “Well, I agree with you that the demon King’s origin is tragic, but his lover also. She loved the demon with all her heart, but if you remember in the texts it is said a lot he is immortal and she is mortal. They kept pushing that concept. Right?”

He nodded. “Right.”

You leaned closer as you felt excited about your idea and Levi was enjoying this. “Don’t you think that’s sad? If you were deeply in love with someone and they were mortal and you were immortal.” You sat on the edge of your seat and looked Levi in the eyes making him blush hard. “The person you love will die and there’s nothing you can do about it. You live for eternity and they only live for about seventy together. That’s a blip in your life. Don’t you think that’s painful?”

Levi stared at you and imagined it all. Now demons could turn humans into demons and join them, but back when the King was in love it wasn’t a possibility. “It would break me.”

You played with your cup on the table. “The way I see it, she broke up with the King because the pain of breaking up is nothing compared to her growing old and him not. Seeing someone you love wither away and die in your arms is soul-crushing. She left him to spare him pain. She’s then barely in the texts, almost absent from it and it makes sense. She lost who she was, she lost herself and so the texts lost her.” You welled up a little. “I can’t imagine how hard it was for her. She lost her love, became the villain of the man she loved, had children with a man she didn’t care about and just rotted away.” You downed the last of your tea. “That’s the real story.”

Levi had fallen hard for you in that sweet moment. “I never thought of it that way.”

You ate some of your treat. “Mm, I might be wrong, but that’s how I viewed it.”

“I like it.” He let out a long sigh. “May I ask you something?”

You smiled. “Sure.”

He poured two more cups of tea. “If you were her if you were that priestess, would you have done the same?”

You finished the last of your treat and gulped. “No.”

His brow raised. “No?”

You sipped your tea and shrugged. “I would have gone to the ends of the Earth to find a way to become immortal. I’d do anything I could to be with them. I’d rather go down kicking than bow out.”

Levi’s heart fluttered in his chest. “Incredible.”

“What about you?”

He smiled a little. “I’d do the same as you. No one will stop me from having my lover with me for eternity.”

You let out a long sigh. “Well, we see eye to eye.” You frowned in thought. “Kind of sad that in the texts it says demons and angels could turn humans, but she was very much dead for many years by the time the gods allowed it. It’s pretty unfair.”

Levi hummed in agreement. “I agree with you. Seems cruel.”

You cleaned your mouth. “It is.” You gulped. “I should get back to work.”

“Oh, am I bad company?”

You blushed. “No! Wait…you’re winding me up.”

He stood up and offered his hand to you. “I am.”

You took his hand and stood up. “Ass.”

He walked along with you. “There you go again calling a religious figure an ass.”

“I will continue to do so.”

He looked up at the sky. “Autumn festival soon.”

You looked up at Levi. You blushed when he gave you the side eye. “Oh, really?”

He lowered his head as he was amused by your reaction to him. “You should go to it.”

“Nah.”

“Why not?” He paused in the front garden of his temple. “You’ll be living here for a while as there is a lot to paint in my temple. So, you should get involved with local events. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to miss it.”

You groaned as you thought about it. “It just…I dunno.”

He leaned closer to you making you hold your breath. “For a smart and talented woman, you do miss a few things.”

You blushed hard at him being close to you. “I’m sorry?”

He reached over and played with some of your hair. “I am asking you to come with me. I want to go with you. You and me, together.” He locked eyes with you. “Well?”

You fiddled with your dungarees. “Uh…sure?”

“Wonderful.” He walked up the steps and opened the temple door. “I have to go, it’s mandatory for me.”

You walked past him as he held the door open. “So, you’re bringing me along to make me suffer too?”

He closed the door and walked with you. “I’m bringing you along because you’re the only person I can talk to, find comfort in and have some sort of intellectual conversation with.” He stopped by your ladder. He leaned closer and whispered. “Plus, if I have to hear from Mrs White again how she makes her cake in great detail, I’m going to skin her alive.”

You snorted a laugh. “That bad?”

He leaned against the wall and groaned loudly. “She talks about the cake, then about where to go, where the ingredients are from, who invented it and a very detailed step-by-step guide on how to put it all together and cook it.” He looked at you. “She even tells me what she does as she waits for the cake to bake.”

You smiled. “Every year?”

He nodded. “Every. Year.”

You leaned against the wall next to him. You reached over and held his hand a little making his heart skip a beat. You smiled when he squeezed your hand. “You’re amazing to go through so much. You work so hard for others.” You pressed your arm against his and enjoyed his warmth. “You’re pretty wonderful.”

“Thank you.”

You nibbled your lip and smirked a little. “For a priest.”

He chuckled and shook his head. “There it is. I was wondering when you were going to insult me.”

You pulled from the wall and turned to face him. “You’d be worried if I didn’t.”

“You’re right.” He eyed your aura to see it was bright with pinks and whites, but there was that darkness still there that he wanted to know about. He offered his hand to you. “Let me help you.”

You took his hand and climbed up the ladders. You released his hand and climbed up. “Thank you.” You leaned over and looked down at him. “You can join me up here whenever you want to hide from Mrs White.”

“I will do so.” He waved to you and walked around the temple.

Levi let out a long sigh as he worked in his office, his thoughts were locked onto you and how you spoke today. He felt a real connection with you, something on a deep level. He wanted to see you again. He got up and left his office as he felt the pull towards you. He stared at the scaffolding as you played classical music again. He thought of what he could do or say so he could be with you.

“Father Levi?”

Levi felt his skin prickle at Mrs White’s voice. “Shit.” Listening to her talk was like being tortured. “Shit.”

She shuffled along looking for him. “Yoo-hoo! Father Levi!?”

Levi ran over to your ladders and scrambled up them. “She’s here!”

You laughed as Levi fell on you. “I must say this is a first, a priest falling for me.”

He covered your mouth with his hand as he lay on top of you. “Hush. Mrs White is here.”

You snorted a laugh behind his hand. You cast your gaze to the side as you heard Mrs White.

She shuffled to the confessional and opened the door. “Father Levi?”

You rolled under Levi and moved to look over the edge. You raised your bum a little and felt something thick against your bum. You blushed a little and tried not to think about what was in the religious man’s pants lying on top of you.

You grabbed the edge and looked. “Oh, she has a cake for you.”

Levi looked over your shoulder and whispered back. “That’s the worst part! Please, don’t send me down there.”

“Oh and miss out on torturing you?”

“Please.”

You giggled. “I’ll protect you, don’t worry.” You turned a little to look at him, his lips close to yours. You gulped hard. “Hide and I’ll get rid of her.”

He let out a long sigh. “Thank you.”

You lay there and waited until Levi was in the clear. You gave him the thumbs up and leaned over. “Yo! Miss?”

Mrs White jumped. “Who said that!?”

You waved. “Over here! Scaffolding, love.”

She looked up and saw you. “Oh! There you are! What are you doing up there?”

“Painting naked people.”

She shuffled closer and cupped her ear. “What was that?”

You squeaked at Levi slapping your thigh. “Ow!”

Levi glared at you and whispered. “Stop it!”

You sighed and looked down at Mrs White. “I’m restoring the art in this temple.”

Mrs White gasped. “Oh my, what a lovely thing to do!”

You blushed a little. “Thanks. I’m here a while.”

“Would you like some cake?”

You gulped hard. “I’ve just had cake at the local café. Sorry. I just got back here to work.”

She smiled softly. “Not to worry, my dear. Have you seen Father Levi?”

You shook your head as Levi lay against your legs. “No, I haven’t. I saw him earlier, but I believe he might have gone home or for a walk.” You grinned at her. “Can I give him a message for you?”

She placed the cake box on the floor. “Just get this cake to him for me. I’ll see him at the festival.” She hummed a laugh. “I’m just making sure he eats. He’s always working hard and barely eats.”

“You’re right.”

“Plus, he’s got a nice ass.” She chuckled. “I haven’t seen an ass that fine in years.” She shuffled along. “See you soon!”

You waved to her and turned to Levi. “Nice ass huh?”

Levi blushed. “Stop.”

“Haven’t seen a fine ass like yours in years.”

He pressed his face against your cushion and groaned. “You’re a brat.”

You giggled. “Free cake though.”

Foul Play - Chapter 18

Millicent stood by the window, her gaze fixed on Henry as he left the porch. Their eyes met briefly, and he lifted a hand in a small wave before he turned back to his car. She let out a nervous breath and absentmindedly chewed on the corner of her mouth. After a moment, he disappeared from view, and she turned away from the window to find her father entering her bedroom, a small box from Henry in his hand.

"Thanks," she murmured, taking a seat on her bed and accepting the box from him. She glanced up at Darren and Abby. "Can I be alone?" She sensed their hesitation but they eventually left the room, closing the door behind them, giving her the space she needed.

She untied the small red ribbon from the box and carefully tore away the green wrapping paper. Pausing for a moment, she took a deep breath before opening the box. Inside, she found a delicate necklace, featuring a rose gold rose with a tiny diamond in the middle. A soft smile spread across her lips as she touched the small pendant, feeling its delicate craftsmanship. Her phone's notification sound chimed, and she glanced at it to find a new message from Henry.

'The rose is from their Disney collection, symbolizing Belle. I thought it was fitting for you, for us. You possess beauty, kindness, and intelligence that resonate with the essence of Belle. You see through me to the core of who I am, and you stand by me when no one else does. I meant it when I said I love you. I have faith that you'll find your way back to me. Merry Christmas, Shortcake.'

She set the phone on the nightstand with the box before crawling into bed under the blanket.

January 2023

"Couldn't I complete the last two terms at home? Please, Daddy..."

Darren sighed, feeling a mix of tenderness and frustration at Millicent's plea. Ever since the incident with Ben, she had taken to calling him "Daddy," and it never failed to tug at his heartstrings. "I'll see if I can arrange for some form of hybrid learning with your teachers. However, it's not a common practice, and I can't guarantee anything. I'm sorry."

"Don't let them see you falter, sweetheart." Abby chimed in, providing comfort as Darren drove them to get their books for the upcoming school term. "You're stronger than they are."

"I don't know if I am," Millicent whispered, her stomach in knots as Darren found a parking spot. Despite her inner turmoil, she stepped out of the car, her arm linked with Abby's as they walked into the school bookshop.

Inside, they split up to gather their respective books. Millicent's heart raced when she sensed a gaze fixed on her. His laughter reached her ears before she spotted him – Ben. She froze, tears welling up as he approached with a mocking smile. "Well, well, hello, sweetheart. It's been a while, hasn't it? I've missed you," he said, his fingers reaching for her cheek.

"Don't touch her," Henry's voice was a low growl as he stepped between them, firmly gripping Ben's wrist. "Haven't you caused enough pain?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Ben retorted, his smile fading as he tried to meet Millicent's gaze. "Just trying to have a conversation with my girl."

"She's nothing of yours. And you won't touch her ever again." Henry pushed Ben away, his expression now a scowl.

"As if I want a repeat performance of her constant whinging," Ben rolled his eyes, his gaze catching Millicent's as she reached out for Henry's hand. "How touching. You're playing hero, taking on my leftovers?"

"Please," Millicent's voice was a soft plea behind Henry, urging him to step back. Ben scoffed and walked away.

Turning back to Millicent, Henry's hand gently cupped her cheek, wiping away the tears. He noticed the necklace he bought her adorning her neck. "You like it?"

"I love it. Thank you, Henry..."

"Step away from her." Darren's voice was stern as he quickly approached them with Abby, pushing Henry back slightly. Henry raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I'm okay, Dad. Henry scared Ben off," Millicent assured, positioning herself in front of Henry, finding comfort in his presence.

"I can't believe he had the audacity to approach you here," Darren commented, concern etched across his face as he looked at his daughter, her eyes red from crying. "Let's just go home."

"Could you go with Dad?" Millicent asked Abby, handing over her basket of books. She turned back to Henry as her father and Abby left. "Can we have a moment?"

Henry nodded, watching her family leave before focusing on Millicent. "I'm sorry, Henry."

"Enough with the apologies," he sighed, his hand gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she leaned into his touch.

"I mean it. Sorry for letting their opinions about you get to me. I've had time to reflect, and you were right about everything. I trust you." She smiled, his grin widening at her confession. Leaning closer, her voice lowered. "Can you come to my window tonight? After my dad goes to bed. I'll text you?"

"I'll be there." The promise lingered in the air as he closed the gap to press a kiss on her cheek before walking away.

Prompt 25:  Oil

Prompt: Free Write - FFXIV Write 2022 Characters:  Edarien, with mention of Cyprien, Inwa and Swan @blisteringstar​, and Rain @rain-grey-falcon​.  Refers back to this very old story.

Behind his desk was usually a safe place for Edarien to be.  Those that came into his office did so with the deference owed to their boss and usually because he was about to have to give them shit for something.  Gods help them, it was for a promotion.

This early in the morning, few inhabited the house Priarch worked from.  The fact he was even awake was a stunner.  He cleared his throat and ignored the fact the cup of coffee steaming on his desk was his second and the only reason he wasn’t dozing on the couch.  Sleep had been dodgy last night.  

That wasn’t entirely fair to the coffee.  It wasn’t the only thing on his desk keeping him awake.  The glass orb sitting square in the middle of his desk was in fact the larger culprit of the two.  The sphere was smaller, about the size of an orange, fit nicely in the hand and was far from empty.  These items he crafted for the sole use of trapping soul aether in them.  

He hadn’t been entirely honest with Inwa.  There was another soul he could use beyond Cyprien.  Two in fact, but he honestly doubted Swan wanted the feminine soul of the pair.  A gesture of his hand swept the orb up on a wisp of shadow to hover before him.  He watched as memories played across the surface of the orb.  Memories he shared.  Another gesture and the orb vanishes, banished back inside the vault behind him.  For the moment, the gateway into his vault was open.  

The item he plucked out next was one that Inwa had entrusted to him some bit ago.  A gold knot attached to a gold chain came to drape itself across the wood of his desk.  Unlike his orbs, he couldn’t see what this knot contained, but he could feel the same tingle soul aether carried.  For all the time this pendant had been in his possession, he hadn’t once taken it out to look at it.

Now he had no choice.  He reached a hand out to pick the pendant off his desk, drawing it back to cup between his hands in his lap.  His eyes closed and he focused on the magic inside the item.  

The shadows in the office lengthened and bent themselves to one side, like a curious cat watching their owner do something weird.  Darkness flowed from Edarien’s figure, filtering out and around him, drifting down his arms to surround the pendant in his hands.  Wisps dove within the item, chewing through the wards and enchantments on it.  

Cyprien.  Highly skilled in all he came to learn and always one to make Edarien pause longer than most could.  Enchantments broke, the wards unwoven and soon enough his hands part to allow the glowing shard of Cyprien’s soul rise out of the knot work.  The remnants of the pendant slid from his lap to clatter on the stone floor.  

“Do not think I do this for the love of you.” 

“Then why, Cyprien? Why take the fall for the error that was mine?”

“Because one day, Edarien, one day, I will come and collect on the debt you owe.”

 “What was this if not love?”

“What was it? Did you think I, of all people, might learn to love a shader? No. I would not step down to your level, Edarien.  A commoner, a thief.”

“I am—”

 “Not a thief?  I know you, Edarien.  I know you like few others, because I took the time to pull you apart as I was instructed to do.  You’re a thief. Unworthy of an Ishgardian son.”

The memory rose unbidden into his mind, stabbing through him like shards of glass.  His eyes flash open, the blue lost to the abyssal dark running through his body.  If Rainimont had been a bargain to return to life in that patchwork way he had, then Cyprien was no better.  The heart had a strange way of holding on to love and hope.

A horrible way.  In the constricting way that left him unable to draw in a proper breath and tears streaming down his face even all these years later.  

“I know you, Edarien.”

His teeth caught his lip and bit down hard enough he could taste blood.  His gaze lowered to the soul lying in his palms like ethereal slick-oil.  This wasn’t all of him, but a decent enough portion that he knew he could use it to patch together Swan’s.  He leaned his head against the high chair back, gaze fixed on the slow swirl of clarity and rainbow lying atop his shadow-infused hands.  

Oil and water.  No matter how hard one of them stirred, they would never stay mixed together for the better.  Could he truly give him a platform to continue the monstrosities Edarien’s own lessons had helped Cyprien learn to do?  Could he give Swan the access to such knowledge?

One hand reached into a desk drawer, taking out one of the glass orbs lying inside it.  A blue glow infused the glass a moment before the oil slick in his other hand vanished within it, sucked in to be kept safe until it was time to break the glass.

Edarien pushed out of the chair behind his desk, the orb dropped inside his robe pocket.  If nothing else, he trusted Inwa, loved him.  If this is what his captain wanted, then he was prepared to hold another monster on the end of a far too short of a leash to make Inwa happy.  

He had delayed long enough.  Time to find a catte.

A small black box is left for the spider demon. In the box was a choker, braided by hand and in soft hemp. The choker was also in a gradient of rosy pink in the middle, fading into white on the ends. A pendant made of pearlescent clay hung from the choker, its shape carefully carved into a rose. A pink, heart-shaped card was there with the gift, with a pig nose-print beside a signature. "Happy Valentine's Day, Angel! Always know you're dearly loved! You're amazing! - Kero."

Angel gently thumbed over the choker with the note in second set of hands this fucker wasn't crying you're imagining things it's just glitter in their eyes. They had to tackle the sinner when she let her guard down and smother her in kisses and gold but for now, the choker was carefully put away in their jewelry box's ring and the card had been tucked into a space on the mirror frame.

Secret Girlfriend,

Pairing: Thomas Shelby x female/Reader

Summary: Thomas Shelby, a man of many secrets, can no longer keep one of his most guarded secrets hidden after his girlfriend is in danger.

Warning: Angst, Gun, Fluff.

Thomas Shelby Masterlist

The day was waning, and the first stars ruled over the land. Lights flickered. Candles lit up the darkest corner of the tranquil bar. Eyes as sharp as daggers wandered through the rows of countless of tables. The dark-haired Shelby witnessed the men losing themselves in the depths of the glasses filled with golden liquid.

Music boomed, drowning falling words, the laughter and the triumphal screams as cards collided with the round table. Trumpets echoed, mingled with the sound of guitars and a piano, filled the barely decorated bar in the middle of the town. Three singers in long dresses sang delicate tones and again and again, the words of Eyes of Blue fell. Loving words fell. Couples danced. And men gathered strength and asked for a dance of the lady of the heart. Wooden panelling covered the bare brick wall. Glasses were carried on trays through the rows of tables and handed to the women and men seated at the round tables.

Motionless, the man dressed in a dark suit sat in the far corner of the bar surrounded by his brothers, sipping from the half-full glass. His finger tapped against the glass filled with a golden liquid. His keen eyes travelled across the tavern, the bar, and Thomas wished he could be in London, somewhere where nobody would know him. Thomas could no longer stop the smile, almost threatening to grin as he looked in the direction of the woman who polished the glasses. No ring graced her fingers, but Thomas was certain the ring he had given Y/N a few months ago was hanging from her neck, sure she was using the ring as a pendant. Her well-shaped lips were coated in a dark shade of crimson. The short curly hair played around her face, kissed by the glow of the candles. Thomas Shelby barely regretted never telling anyone about his girlfriend of more than two years, but tonight was one of those times he wished Y/N could sit by his side, desired to rest his hands on her body and enjoy the night with the love of his life instead of his brothers.

Gazes nearly met.

Thomas raised his glass high and Y/N lowered her eyes. A reddish hue tinted her cheeks. Y/N couldn't face him, missed him dearly, yet she didn't dare say the words resting on the tip of her tongue. The nights were lonely but Y/N understood the words full of fear and the eyes of tears, but although she knew all this, her heart shattered into dozens of pieces as Thomas was distant, avoided her like a deathly plague. Y/N smiled faintly. Faint memories returned. They met secretly after midnight when no soul was awake at the flat Thomas had bought or found themselves in each other's arms in a distant part of the country where they were sure no one would recognise the Shelby.

Thomas loved his girlfriend from the deepest depths of his heart. The beating organ wasn’t cold, he could feel love, but he showed no emotions, knew exactly what would happen if he dared to make a wrong move, what would happen to Y/N if the wrong ears heard that he had fallen for someone.

Dooming clouds no longer clouded his gaze. His eyes of light blue sparkled in delight.

Y/N danced through the rows of people, laughed and smiled. The hem of her dress rose and fell. Thomas looked after his girlfriend and saw the ring she carried around her neck, witnessed the gold glistering in the dim light of the old tavern. Men laughed, talked to Y/N who answered with a friendly expression of her ageless features. Thomas gulped, wanted to feel love, to let words escape and forbid the men to dare to flirt with his darling.

Suddenly he felt the need to rise from his seat and wrap his girlfriend of over two years in his arms, but the burden resting heavily on his shoulders forced him to stay dressed in a coat of silence. Thomas wanted to dance with her all night long until his feet bled and the soles of his shoes were beyond repair. Thomas hoped the day would come. He watched over Y/N like an eagle circling over the fields. He remained calm, tried to ignore the glances of the men directed at her, saw the lips forming words, was aware they were asking for a dance, wanted to dance with the woman who had never danced with anyone except her boyfriend. A smirk graced his features, heard Y/N as she denied in a friendly tone and left the four men at the round table alone.

A cold gust entered the bar.

Men in dark suits streamed into the old tavern. Y/N swallowed noticeably, looked at her two colleagues as they shivered and exchanged quick words. Switly Y/N moved forwards. A quick prayer escaped her lips. The faces were vicious. Wrong words would be fatal. The coats were long, and Y/N thought she could clearly make out the shape of a pistol each of the men seemed to carry. She noted the stern glances, but Y/N ignored them, knowing exactly who was staring at her and trying to dissuade her from what she had to do as the waitress of the bar.

Thomas noticed the fear, the stress in his girlfriend's widened eyes and he wanted to rise, to let her know nothing could happen to her in his presence. He pressed his lips tightly together. Loudly he placed the glass he had been holding in his hand and let himself fall back. His fingers twitched and his dominant hand kept moving to the pistol he always carried at his side. The mask of coldness and disregard resting on his features crumbled. Arthur and John immediately noticed what Thomas was doing. Something changed in his eyes. Quietly, her name passed his lips. Thomas clenched his hands into fists. Y/N´s name escaped again and John thought he heard the name of the woman who always took their orders and remembered how he had once wanted to dance with her, remembered his brother's reaction and the words of a bloody fool, hadn’t noticed the engagement ring on her hand.

Feeling strong enough Y/N faced the new guests. The stench of cheap wine and whiskey enveloped the men like a cloak. A slight, yet nervous smile graced Y/N´s face as she clasped her hands in front of her body and put a mask of confidence on.

            "Good evening gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you but sadly we are fully booked for tonight. You have to make a reservation. I beg your forgiveness but we have no more tables for this many people." Y/N said in an apologetic tone.

Smiling Y/N fervently hoped the words would be enough, that the men would be on their way, would leave the bar, but the wicked men stopped and the expression filling the eyes of different colours, let her know she would regret what she had said.

            “There is a place.” said one of the seven men in long coats and stern features.

            "I am sorry but this is Shelby's table, I am not allowed to offer you this place, you would have to wait until the gentlemen are on their way home and this can take a long time. The Shelby's are regular customers and the owner of the bar would certainly not appreciate if I treat them unfairly. I hope you understand, but I can offer you a seat here at the bar until a table becomes available." the young woman offered in a slightly nervous tone.

The words fell on no ears. Wordlessly, the men walked past Y/N, leaving her behind with quick steps and headed for the table they wanted to claim as theirs.

The brothers sat up straight, looking unimpressed at the men who were trying to intimidate them with sternness and anger. Arthur shifted; his hand rested on his gun. No words escaped and the three men laughed low. A mischievous grin spread across Thomas´s lips, laughing silently but the widening grin was carried away by the next gust.

“Dove, bring us a drink.", "As I told you, gentlemen, this table is occupied and sadly I cannot offer you another seat." a soft voice broke the silence.

Urgently Thomas stared at his girlfriend, tried to silence her, saw the anger in the look of the man whose belly resembled a hump, wanted to force Y/N to leave the bar with quick steps, knew how dangerous these men could be. The man on the right turned around and faced the young woman in the long dress. Like a wave, the man rose in front of Y/N and looked condescendingly down at her.

            "Boss I'll take care of her; she's getting on my nerves." the light-haired man sneered.

            "If you dare touch me, the police will be notified of your misdemeanour. The patrons of this bar come to the bar to have a carefree evening and not to fear danger and gun." Y/N answered in a stern tone.

She chose her words wisely, feared Thomas would get hurt, knew the men in dark suits belonged to a gang. Y/N stood tall, knew if Thomas would rise the hall would resemble a battlefield, knew it well, had seen it once too often, had tended the deep wounds adoring his skin.

            "Go ahead and take her out, show her the city, the fresh air of the alleys will surely do her good." the other one sneered.

Chairs almost collided with the floor. A shiver danced down her spine. The man looked up in confusion, feeling the cold material digging deeper into the flesh. The cold silver reflected the candlelight.

            "Touch my girlfriend you fu*** bastard and you will rue the day you were born. Take care of them." thunder echoed.

Eyes widened, heard the words spoken by the man who was feared like the night. He stood tall. Lightning reigned in his eyes. Dark shadows arose from deep slumber. Thomas wanted to pull the trigger, clasped the cold material of his gun firmly, but he did not.

            "Arthur, John escort the gentlemen out, I will take care of Y/N. Come, dear, I'll take you home," Thomas said in a gentle tone.

Suddenly his voice changed, turned soft, like the whisper of the wind, lovely and delicate. Thomas didn't let go of the gun, watching the colour slip from the faces of the men who had stopped talking. Arthur and John rose and nodded, carrying out the order Thomas had given. He wanted to follow his brothers but he knew that his girlfriend needed him more than them. Thomas led the way, ignoring the curses piercing through the calmness.

Fear gradually drained from her body. Hands rested on her body. Y/N smiled, smelled his perfume, the smoke of cigarettes mixing with expensive whiskey.

            "Are you staying with me tonight? I don't want to be alone." Y/N breathed weakly.

Thomas did not reply and with his gaze, he signalled the singers to continue where they had stopped and immediately, they continued. Questioning gazes no longer rested on them and laughter ruled again. Gently Thomas clasped Y/N´s trembling fingers, guided them to his mouth and breathed a delicate kiss on her knuckles. Loving words full of adoration caressed her heart. Y/N no longer feared. A protective cloak rested on her shoulders.

            "Today we will sleep at home. You won't live there anymore. Now everyone knows you belong to me. I will not leave you. But how could you put yourself in danger? Do you know what could have happened if I hadn't been here?" Thomas wanted to raise his voice, was angry, couldn't believe what his fiancée had done, but he remained calm.

Faintly Y/N smiled. He didn't need to hear an answer, read it in her eyes telling him she had done it because of him, wanted to protect him from harm and death. Gently, Thomas placed her trembling hands on his chest above his heart, then placed his on her back and pressed Y/N tightly against his body. In his embrace, Y/N felt safe and sound. Loving words slipped. Thomas gazed at his brothers who disappeared through the door into the night, saw the expression in Arthur's eyes and knew he had much to explain, knew which questions would come, but now Thomas did not care. In a protective gesture, Thomas laid his palms on his girlfriend's lower back. Eyes met and Thomas noticed how the fear faded away as Y/N became oblivious to the world.

Baekhyunie don’t leave me masterlist | General masterlist

<< Part 2 | Part 4 >>

You made sure everything was perfect for him, for Baekhyun. You gave a last look around the appartement to make sure everything was set and done. The gift you prepared for him was nicely wrapped and sat on the console in the hall. The kitchen was spotless, the budae jjigae was patiently simmering on the stove. The table was nicely set in the living room. You bought especially for the occasion a small round table, perfect for two.

You chose to make traditional Korean stew for a reason. Firstly, it was one of your signature dishes. And of course you wanted to impress Baekhyun. The second reason was much more practical… It required minimum attending. Once the sausages, onions and various vegetables were cut and placed in the pot you were able to actually take care of the bigger workside that is to say your appearance. Your main goal: NOT to look like a psycho bloodthirsty mobster.

When the food was simmering away you were finally able to take a nice hot and thorough shower. This step was the most important one. It was top priority to get the blood from underneath your nail plate and the irony smell out of your hair. Most people don’t know but the smell of blood when you’re confined with it in such a tight space for so long, can really stick to oneself. So you scrubbed yourself meticulously. You used your favorite berry scented shampoo and you finally felt fresh when you hopped out the shower.

You wanted to impress Baekhyun. That much was true, yes. But not only with your cooking skills. You wanted to wow him. You pestered for a good half an hour on what you should or rather what you should not wear. After trying countless combinations you settled on a cute flowy summer dress. But unlike the ones you wear most of the time this one was more singed at the waist and under your breast which lifted their shape slightly, it looked flirty but not revealing either. Well behaved but not muted.

The print accentuated the feminine aspect of it. It had a beautiful nude color with deep burgundy red roses on it. At the hips the dress switched from being close-fitted to a nice flowey round skirt which gracefully floated to the middle of your thighs revealing just enough skin to want to see more. With this you paired a beautiful pair of high heeled sandals with thin brown leather straps that wrap around your ankles and slightly up your calves. The shoes elongated your legs and gave that extra sultry vibe to the look.

To dress up your decolletage you chose a fine gold chain with a discreet single diamond pendant and small gold button earrings.

You were not very used to wearing makeup but you still managed to whip up a natural look with discreet gold eyeshadow at the center of your lids, illuminated complexion with a pop of concealer and blush. And a cherry lip gloss that added a nice highlight and made your lips appear fuller.

You figured you might as well wear your hair in an updo because you knew you were going to continue cooking and you didn’t want to constantly keep brushing the hair out of your eyes. Plus that hairdo would allow your earrings to be shown.

Finally as the last (and maybe most important) step you picked your favorite perfume to finish off the look. An expensive and sensual fragrance of exquisite jasmine, sandalwood and mirabelle, a fragrance you would have to import directly from Sicily everytime you would run out.

And with that the look was complete. Nervousness suddenly hit you when you were finally done and your mind had nothing to think about but the incredibly handsome, infinitely gorgeous and astonishingly good looking man that was shortly arriving to take your virginity.

Your guts contorted into a tight knot when you thought about the eventuality of this late evening… Thankfully the sultry lingery set that you were wearring contrasted nicely with the cute dress you picked out. That gave you enough confidence to shake your head and puff your chest in the mirror. You smiled to yourself tucking away a rebellious strand of hair back in your bun.

When suddenly the awaited (and dreaded) doorbell rang. The whole appartement fell silent. Not even the boiling jjigae dared to make noise. Not even the busy Seoul streets. Not even your thumping heart.

“It’s okay y/n…” you breathed in and out deeply, closing your eyes and laying a trembling hand on your chest “you’re going to be fine”.

You walked or rather staggered to the front door to open up. When your feeble hand pulled on the doorknob and you laid eyes on him you held on tight to the poor metal handle just to make sure you were still holding onto reality.

Because there was no way in all heavens that Baekhyun wasn’t just an angel sent from above to grace you.

He was out of this world. He was wearing a white and navy silk shirt with text prints on it, even though it was a button down Baekhyun cunningly chose to not fasten many of them. The silver chains dangling low on his chest inexorably pulled your gaze down to the thin skin between his pecs (which he didn't fail to notice of course). He paired the shirt with tight black jeans that were perfectly hugging his robust thighs, the slim cut making his legs appear even longer. The fact that he wasn’t wearing that brown apron to hide away all these gorgeous features was completely and utterly unfair to your frail and inexperienced heart.

When you mustered the courage to finally look at his face the single dangling earring caught your eye first then the trendy black metal circled glasses and the slicked back blonde hair and finally the small smirk that was playing on his lips and when he noticed the slight tremble of your lip.

He looked absolutely deadly…

“You don’t look bad either” he said, practically reading your mind. His eyes trailing from the high heeled sandals and working their way up your legs to the stem of the dress to the curve of your waist to the fine gold chain resting on your collarbones and finally your eyes.

You thickly gulped down while he licked his lips seductively.

“May I come in?” he asks while stepping into your personal space. You catch a faint whiff of his cologne before you clumsily stumble back to let him in while he steps into the hall. A rich, earthy smell of burnt wood and vanilla, and of course, the sub aroma of coffee.

You tried your hardest not to decompose before his eyes and rapidly started speaking just to keep your mind from wandering too far.

“I didn’t know you wore glasses” you blurted out, speaking of the first thing that came to your mind.

“Well yeah… I have terrible eyesight” he said while squinting adorably and bringing his face close to yours. “I figured I might wear them to make sure I can see how pretty you were. '' He said, his face coming dangerously close to you and your heart started to race when your eyes trailed down to his pink pouty lips, instantly reminded of their soft cushiony feeling on yours. “Naah… I’m just joking” he said standing back up straight chuckling to himself, satisfied of sweeping you off your feet with only a supported look in your direction. “I only wore them for fashion” he wiggled his eyebrows amusingly and you laughed along with the much needed comedic relief.

“Well anyways it smells so good in here. What did you cook up for me baby?” he said, his deep voice dripping with honey. You definitely love it when he calls you baby.

“I made army stew” you shyly replied, averting his gaze.

“Oh I love a good budae jjigae” he says excitedly, eyes creasing cutely.”But” he spotted the wrapped box on the console. “What's that?” he pointed at the box.

“Oh I almost forgot” you swiftly grabbed the box and handed it to him. “I got this for you”

“For me?” he pointed at himself while delicately taking the box with his other hand.

“Yeah”

He carefully pulled on the knots and untied the ribbons then ripped the wrapping to uncover a brand new high end smartphone.

“Y/n… Are you serious?”

You couldn't make of Baekhyun’s reaction. He didn’t look happy, which was a surprise. Actually you can't tell what he feels at all.

“Well…I… I thought that this was better than your old phone that can’t even display your number when you call or send text. Sooo… I figured I might as well get you a new one” you sounded apologetic, almost regretful.

“Thank you” he finally said, beaming at you with such brightness.

“Do you like it?”

“Yeah of course it’s just that you shouldn't have… these are pricey” he said instinctively checking for the tag on the box.

“Don’t worry it’s not much for me” you carelessly said, which Baekhyun doesn’t seem to hear.

You proceeded to step in the living room. And Baekhyun was instantly taken aback by the luxury of the room.

“Y/n you told me you lived in an apartment! Not a penthouse!” He exclaimed, eyes dashing all over, taking in the opulence of the place. You laughed at his cute reaction. It’s true that you’ve been so accustomed to nice things that you don’t even notice them anymore.

“My dad got it for me recently” You said bashfully scratching the back of your head. And even if Baekhyun couldn’t possibly guess with that phrase alone what kind of activity your family was involved in, your guts still twisted in worry. The fact that this place was a gift from your father was the exact reason why it was so extravagant.

Your dad lived in a big mansion just outside the city, every corner of the place had rococo decor. Big Renaissance fountains and statues in the hall. Gold plated plumbing in the many bathrooms, high ceilings, black russian marble on the floor. The house was so conspicuous about the wealth of the people residing in it that it felt almost like a parody.

You on the other hand were the complete opposite. You always thought you got this from your mother. Before she died you lived with her in Sicily. You occupied a nice, rather big it’s true, villa. The place was comfortable and spacious but it was rather minimalistic. Nothing sparkled with gold and diamonds. It was more elegant. That's what you liked most. That was why, for instance, you wore discreet and modest looking clothes even if they were designer and made from the finest fabric they were still wearable and unnoticeable for the unseasoned eye.

So even if your dad made tremendous efforts not to slip into his faults, the appartement still had his personal grandiose touch.

“How about I let you have a stroll around the place while I serve the food?” you suggested with a smile and Baekhyun was quick to agree, almost instantly disappearing in the corridor.

While you were busy serving him a generous portion of stew you heard him yell from afar.

“That jacuzzi looks amazing!!!”

You chuckled to yourself and proceeded to serve yourself a bowl too.

“Y/n, I found that in one of the bedrooms.” he said holding a gold watch.

“Yeah it’s my father’s" you said, stirring the stew with the chopsticks while Baekhyun got seated.

“This gold rolex is your father's?” oddly, his voice sounded harsh which made you look up at him. His eyes are once again unfathomable, he stares back at you with that blank expression you can’t read.

“Yeah, he helped me move around some furniture in my bedroom and he forgot it here”

Baekhyun set the watch to the side. And when he lifted his eyes up again, their usual glow was back.

“I mean the apartment… the rolex...What does he do for a living?”

Your heart stopped.

The question made you freeze for a second as you sunk a piece of sausage to the bottom of the bowl, doing your best to not look suspicious of anything. Even if you prepared for that it still took you aback.

“Well, you know, it’s a small family business” you just vaguely responded, keeping your eyes on the stew.

“Well looks like business is really good” he said, opening his mouth wide, laughing with that crystal clear laugh that you love so much. A sound that melts the anxiety of the loaded question right away. Then he brought a big spoon full of the broth to his mouth. He didn't even bother blowing on it and shoved it in his mouth, closed his eyes and frowned. You couldn't tell whether it was because he got third degree burnt or because the taste of the broth was horrendous.

“So how is it?” you hesitantly asked, nervousness seeping from your word.

“Delicious! Oh my god!! Wow.” He went right away for seconds. “The food is too distracting right now but don't go thinking I didn’t catch you changing the subject” he said with a mouthful while you giggled awkwardly.

It filled your heart to the brim to see him enjoy the food you prepared with love for him.

“Well eat your heart out because I made six servings” you laughed joyfully. Then you heard a buzzing sound. Immediately Baekhyun set his chopsticks and spoon down to get his old phone out of his pockets. His eyes briefly swept through the screen, maybe reading a text before he shoved it back in his pocket and merily went back to spoon out some of the borth.

“Wooow” he exclaimed again, smacking his lips.

You laughed again.

Baekhyun ended up taking three full bowls of jjigae you never noticed before because you never stuck around in the shop long enough but when he eats he cutely hums songs happily as he stuffs his cheeks full. Baekhyun is not the shy eater type. He will try to fit 3 pieces of pork belly at once in his mouth and succeed most of the time which was an impressive skill.

The whole evening was going rather smoothly. Baekhyun was easy going and fun to hang out with. You almost forgot why he was here and what this night was leading to. You felt at ease with him. Happily chatting away, listening to his funny nonsense or complaining about annoying customers or even giving you interesting anecdotes on how he started his business. You loved the way his eyes lightened up when he was talking about what pasionnated him.

Baekhyun truly was a businessman. He knew about the stakes of good suppliers, customer relations and general management. Baekhyun showed great promise and you knew that in time, he would make a great head of the family by your side. The ruthlessness of your particular field of work was the only thing he was missing but there was plenty of time for that, plenty of time to ease him into the family business. And now definitely wasn’t the time.

But then your train of thought was interrupted by his phone, again.

Punctually his phone would buzz in his pocket and most of the time, he would ignore it but sometimes he would take it out and type a brief response.

Who is it?

The question was burning your lips and you wanted to ask so badly but your father didn’t raise you to be nosey. In fact, he raised you to be the exact opposite so you kept your indiscreet mouth shut.

As Baekhyun set his phone back in his pocket he raised his eyes back to you.

“Don’t worry baby it’s no one important”

Is he reading your mind ?

“Just checking the time you know” your heart sunk in your stomach. You immediately looked up at the clock hanging on the wall behind him. Almost midnight, it read.

“Sorry I should let you head home” you must be boring him you thought to yourself. Of course you were.

“No” he said, his voice shifting again, reminding you of the tone he used in the shop just yesterday. “I was just wondering when it was going to be time for desert”

Fuck…

Your heart jumped from the bottom of your stomach to your throat, over excitedly pumping boiling blood and adrenaline through your veins, making your cheeks and chest burn.

“Are you blushing baby girl?” he whispered while he leaned in over the table closing in the distance between you. “You’re so fucking cute”.

“Thank you” you squeaked, embarrassing yourself which made Baekhyun chuckle.

“Are you daydreaming about all the nasty stuff I texted you about?” you stayed frozen solid as you lost track of yourself in his dark brown orbs. He kept on leaning in, you licked your lips nervously and Baekhyun’s eyes instantly shifted down to them.

“You want me to make your dreams come true Princess?” Now his lips were grazing over your wet ones. This simple little touch sent a shot of electrifying sparks in your core. You nodded your head slowly.

“Say it” he whispered even quieter now as his warm hand slipped beneath the table and under your flowy dress, fingertips brushing over the thin skin of your inner thigh. You couldn't help but let out a meek little whimper which made him smirk. “Say it, princess” he repeated, his hand continuing to progress on your thigh until he reached the delicate lace lining of your panties. Not quite touching you yet. So close but yet so far.

“Please make my dream true, sir” you huffed, giving in, surrendering yourself without putting up much of a fight.

“Good girl"

Suddenly he crashed his lips on yours, kissing you passionately, prying your mouth open to taste you, not letting you time to protest but even if you could have it was never your intention. You waited long enough for that. And you chose him. With him it finally felt right.

Baekhyun’s pointer finger pressed precisely on your clit, applying pleasurable pressure on it, making you gasp and bang your knee on the table, nearly knocking over your half full bowl. as he put more pressure on it. Not giving you the satisfaction of friction just yet. Just driving you even crazier with desire. So in a shameful and unpremeditated reflex you bucked your hips against his single finger.

Immediately he retracted his hand and broke the kiss. You bit your lips in regret as you opened your eyes back up to look at him. A familiar evil twinkle was dancing in his eyes.

“What a naughty girl” he wrapped a firm hand around your nape. “Grinding her little pussy against me like this” the remark made you blush in embarrassment.

“Blushing again?” he asked, this time practically growling. “You’re really trying to make me go insane.”

At once he got up, making his chair fall back, he harshly lifted you up by the arm and flipped you over his shoulder with ease. Caring your body like it was nothing but a mear feather.

He walked through the living room and hall with big strides and tossed you on the bed, earning a yelp from you. He didn’t even bother to switch on the light, only keeping the door open, the lighting from the hall making the atmosphere incredibly intimate.

“Take this flimsy dress off. Now. Keep the heels” his tone was demanding and impatient. So much so that even the crippling fear of what you were about to do was swept away and replaced by the fear of disobeying your master’s orders.

You opened the zip in the back of your dress and just let it slide off your body, revealing the burgundy lingerie set you carefully picked out for him.

“Fuck" he swore under his breath as his eyes trailed down your high heeled scadals to the curved you thighs and your chest hidden away in the beautiful bra and finally to your glistening collarbones.

You swallowed thickly at the sight of the tent he was so visibly pitching in his pants, making it look incredibly uncomfortable.

“Fucking lace?” he asked, hands going to the navy blue silk shirt. “Only sluts wear lace” he grunted rapidly, shedding every piece of clothing he had. Even the tight boxers, making his thick and hard cock spring up and stand tall.

He looked glorious, the light from the hall was casting his large shadow on the wall, the silver chains and necklaces hanging low on his chest pulling your eyes further down to the incredible cock you were so vividly remembering from yesterday, your mouth instinctively watering.

“Spread your legs” he ordered and you did. Fat cock in hand he stood on his knees and harshly pulled on your hips to take you closer to him, you let out another whimper.

His hot tip touched your clothed little pussy, aiming directly at the sensitive bud. Baekhyun took a wicked pleasure in making teasing slow circles. As close to you as he was, the miniscule ply of fabric between you was way too much. So you whimpered again.

When his tip pressed on you, you suddenly got nervous.

“Please… I-... Baekhyun… I’ve never” you stumbled on your words.

“Don’t worry princess” he smiled reassuringly at you “I’ll make you nice and ready for me”.

He pulled on your legs and brought your hips to the edge of the bed, kneeling in front of you. He laid gentle kisses on your pubic bone before catching the lace between his teeth. He looked back up at you with the same eyes you saw in the shop, the same blazing desire that made your center quiver in anticipation.

He slid the panties down to your ankles where it hung on one of your feet.

“Will you be a good girl for me baby ?” he asked, voice strained and heavy while he eyed down your thighs tightly pressed together.

“Y-yes sir” you murmured, goosebumps rising on your bare skin.

“Then let me see your beautiful little pussy and spread your legs for me baby.”

With a shaky breath you parted your thighs slowly and as your knees got further and further apart Baekhyun’s smirk got wider and wider.

“Fuck” he breathed out eyes fixed on your aching, quivering center. His breath tickled your intimate parts as he leaned in. “Dessert is fucking served” he whispered before digging in. Instantly, he aimed his tongue at the swollen bud.

The contact of his wet and cool tongue made you arch your back, sinking your head back in the plushy mattress.

“Fuck you taste so good babydoll” he said not parting himself from you, vibrations pulling a sharp breath out your trembling lips.

This feels different from anything you’ve ever done to yourself; it has no comparison at all.

“You like my mouth on your soaked little pussy?” he asked teasingly, slowing down the pace, gently sucking on your sensitive nub.

“Yes, sir” you cried out, taking out the frustration of this slow pace onto the sheets, fisting them angrily.

“What about this?” he slipped one slender finger inside your narrow little pussy. Your lips rounded up in surprise as you hoisted yourself up on your elbows, wanting to see his face.

“Fuck” you swore when you felt his blunt nail pushed deep inside you, rubbing circles on your sweet spot.

“Aw baby! Does that feel good?”

You only nodded as a response, your eyes starting to prickle with tears as he started to pump his finger in and out, slowly at first but rapidly picking up the pace to a point where you couldn’t help but to let small whimpers fill out the space between the two of you.

“Aw baby you’re so cute getting overwhelmed with just one finger” he chuckled. “Are you sure your virgin little pussy can handle me?” Once again your distressed mind is unable to come up with words to form an answer but this time he stopped when you didn’t reply anything back.

“Yes!! Yes!!” you breathed out hurriedly when you felt the peasure gradually lessen, deserepatly, longing for him to finger fuck you again.

“What a good girl” he said as he slipped another finger inside.

“Oh my god” you cried again, this time you couldn't help two big tears to roll down your burning cheeks. You felt yourself deliciously stretch to his liking. One finger was easy but two was something else. A dull and muted pain made you wince. Baekhyun moved very gently, taking his time to stretch you properly. When you started to relax he leaned in again to wrap his mouth around your swollen clit.

“Fuck baby you taste delicious” he growled. Gradually the pain turned into pleasure and he picked up the pace again. Fingers furiously pumping in and out of you while his tongue skilfully circled your clit. Everything worked perfectly together like well oiled machinery. Rapidly taking you to your peak like an ever ascending rollercoaster.

“Are you going to cum my princess?” Baekhyun teased you.

“Yes!!” you almost screamed, nails digging at the mattress, practically tearing the sheets.

“I’ve never seen a virgin cunt so fucking eager” he said while digging one pointy tooth on your clit, pulling a loud gasp off your lips, making your walls throb around his diggits. “Fuck! What a dirty little cunt you have here. Sucking on my finger like this” he picked up the pace again and combined with the dirty talk you were done for.

But he abruptly pulled his fingers out your desperate little pussy.

“No baby” he said firmly “Good girls only cum on my cock”

Instantly you missed how full he was making you feel but nonetheless you nodded. Ready to comply with anything and everything Baekhyun said, completely wrapped around his fingers.

When he got back up his length was beet red, precum dripping down his shaft as the thick member twitched menacingly. He gripped you down and tossed you further on the bed, making room for himself between your parted thighs.

He gathered your wetness coating the tip and the shaft with your overflowing juices. Your heart loudly thumped in your chest when you peeked at the huge hard cock making its way to your entrance.

“S-should we use protection?” you stuttered. Baekhyun looked up at you again, his eyes were puzzled for a second.

“Aren't you on the pill?” he asked, lying still on top of you.

“Humm… Yeah” you said, averting your eyes.

That was a big fat lie

“But I mean still…” you continued hazardously. Mischief returned in Baekhyun’s eyes.

“Don't you trust me, Princess?” he started to rub small and teasing circles on your clit with his blazing hot and raw tip, you bit your lip down trying not to moan.

“Aaah… Y-Yes I do” you whimpered, pleasure making you forget about all your concerns.Well almost of all of them. Because when Baekhyun pressed his tip at your entrance you questioned him again.

“Will it fit?” you finally asked the question burning your lips, the one that has been stirring your stomach inside out ever since you got to witness the width and length of Baekhyun. Ever since you first gagged on his big fat cock.

Baekhyun’s mischievousness is gone. Only burning, raging desire filled his dark orbs now.

“Don’t worry baby… I’ll make sure it fits”

With that he finally pushed himself past your entrance.

The first few centimeters are the most painful. The thick head of the member, stretching your untouched pussy to a level you never thought could be possible. You winced in pain and bit down on your lip, eyes tightly shut. Slowly but surely Baekhyun found the bottom of you, finally linking your hips and his.

Your legs trembled when you felt his breath tickle the crook of your neck. The pain was unbearable, making your eyes water once again and your breath hitch in your throat.

“Fuck! You’re so fucking tight Princess” he growled in your ear while tears rolled down your cheeks.

“You’re so big… It hurts” you let out in a small sob, trying your best to accept him in your inexperienced center.

“Don’t worry baby it’ll feel good soon” he said gently brushing a strand of hair away. “I’ll make you feel good. I promise”

He gently pulled out almost completely, only the very tip of him was still hanging from your core. And he pushed back in, as gently as before. This time around was a little less painful and you were able to keep your eyes open just to see his face beautifully contort in pleasure as his eyebrows both met on his forehead. He bit on his lip, grunting while he filled you up again.

When his tip, pushed deep inside you, started to rub against your sweet spot, goosebumps erupted from your skin, the unexpected pleasure pulled a moan out of your strained throat.

He repeated the process each time it felt a little better, each time a little bit faster. Until it felt actually divine. You can’t believe how he got you screaming his name in a matter of minutes.

“Fuck baby, you like my cock this much?” he breathed out, half moaning as he furiously pounded into you.

“Yes Sir”

“Fuck what a fucking slut you are. Virgin cunt dripping and gripping on my cock like this?” he grunted nails digging at our sides. “Say you’re my little slut”

“I’m your little slut Sir”

“Good girl” he growled. “That’s right you’re mine. Only mine” he rewarded you with more punishing and divine thrusts inside your exhausted little body.

“Please” you cried out.

“Please what?” he said, not sparing any rest to your pussy.

“Please Sir let me cum” you sniffled, out of breath.

“What a good girl, begging like a good little whore” he said smirking at your miserable state while your pussy once again flirted with the edge. “You’ll only cum when I’ll tell you too”

“Pleaseee” you begged again, knowing you couldn't go on for long.

One of his hands left your waist to grab a fistful of your hair, harshly pulling on it. The sting made your core clench, gripping even harder on every centimeters of Baekhyun’s thick cock pounding inside you to rearrange your guts.

“Are you that fucking deseperate for my cum?” he growled, unforgiving hips still smashing yours.

“Yes please give me your cum” you begged him, knowing his release also meant yours.

“You want to milk my cum to the last drop right, slut?”

“Yes I’m a little slut hungry for your cum Sir” you moaned out, screaming and panting. This time you couldn’t hold it back.

“Cum for me. Now!” Baekhyun ordered and you gladly complied. Finally letting go of the knot that has been building up in your core for what felt like days. You felt the gushing of your cum being sprayed out of your core, soaking Baekhun’s muscular chest and the sheets. The overwhelming feeling took over you, rushing burning heat from your core to your chest, neck and face. The powerful orgasm swept you off your feet like never before. Never you were able to give yourself something similar.

“Oh my god Yes I’m cumming” you cried out while Baekhyun growled and pumped you full of piping hot cum, filling you up and eventually overflowing in a cascade completely coating your shapeless little pussy all the way down to your ass.

His thrusts gradually became more shallow as he hung his jaw open, finally grasping his own release. When he pulled out you felt a pool of your mixed up cum forming underneath you as Baekhyun crashed next to you.

“Fuck” he panted next to you before reaching out to you and nesting your exhausted and worned out body between his arms.

It doesn't take long before you both wandered off into a deep slumber, your heated cheeks resting against his damp chest, his calm heartbeats playing a soothing lullaby to your ears.

You are surprised to wake up all by yourself the next morning. For a second you imagined that all of this was just a dream. But it was before you shifted on your side and felt the slimy results of last night still coating your thighs and the soreness deep inside your core.

So maybe he just bailed on you…

Of course he did, he used you to get what he wanted and left. How could it have been different? He is perfect in every way amd you're just so… bland. So maybe this was your best shot at him. That was what your insecurities told you.

But right when worry was taking over your frantic heart your phone buzzed.

Last night was amazing, babygirl. Sorry I had to leave to open up shop… Maybe don’t come or call today because I’ll be too busy and I can’t afford to get distracted by your cute little face. It’ll be hard enough to think of your stunning naked body under me or the cute little sounds that you make when you beg me… Fuck i’m already geting of track anyways… I’ll text you later baby.

ily

-Baekhyun

Wait… ily as in “I love you” this is the best day ever… and he used the phone. And finally Baekhyun has a name in your phone too. He didn't have to think for too long when you thought his beautiful warm caramel brown doe eyes it felt like an evidence.

Fate is called as such, for it cannot be changed, nor can it be reversed.

It can only but be accepted.

❍

9:15 AM.

"Welcome to Kwangya Jewelries! How may I help you, sir?" A woman with short black hair greets you from behind the counter.

"Hey there, I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend."

"Oh, we have plenty of great choices here. Do you know what her preferences are?”

"Hmm, she loves the color black… and simple designs, I think. Sorry, I don’t know much about jewelry." you answered while scratching the back of your neck and letting out a nervous chuckle.

“It's alright, sir. Follow me." She then leads you to a section in the store.

Ranging from necklaces to rings, you were amazed at how the store had such graceful and heirloom-quality types of jewelry. As you look at each one of the accessories displayed, your mind tries to imagine how your girlfriend would look with them. But, no matter what, she would still look pretty in every single one of them.

"Having a hard time sir?" The woman asked.

"Uhh yeah…" She lets out a little giggle.

"Do you mind sharing any of her pictures? I could recommend some choices for you that way."

You were a little hesitant to show her your girlfriend's pictures because of her reputation as an idol. Although, you won’t get that far if you choose to stay passive. So, you had to put your trust in her since you were unsure of your girlfriend's preferences.

"Sure, but could you please keep this on the down-low?"

"Of course."

You took out your phone from your pocket to search for a good picture to show to the woman. Stumbling across a beautiful selfie of her, you decided that it was the one.

"Here." You show your phone screen to the woman, making her eyes widen in shock.

"This is…" She looked at you, who quickly placed a finger on the lips, hinting at her to keep this a secret. “...I see. Give me a minute, sir.”

She then looks through the several glass display cases, trying to find some choices for you to pick out. Eventually, she laid out three different accessories in their separate boxes in front of you on a glass table.

“I think these would fit well to her liking. Have a look.”

The first one on your left was a gold necklace with a cable-like design on its chain and a shiny black or almost like a gray heart pendant. For the middle one, it was a white gold ring that holds a purely black type of gemstone. The last one was a rose gold-plated bangle featuring a black pave moon and star motif. Indecisiveness takes over your mind as you were stunned by the excellent choices that she had picked out.

“So, what do you think?”

“You picked out some great options, all of these would be perfect for her.”

You continued to wander your eyes between each of them. Your brain was working on overdrive, trying to come up with the final decision of your purchase. Out of the blue, your eyes were glued upon the necklace for a while.

“This necklace is one of our latest designs. The pendant is made out of spinel, one of the rarest minerals on earth. Specially designed to fit the younger generation’s taste. It’s a little pricey, but it's a worthwhile purchase for a lady like her.” The woman explained as she realized that your attention was on the aforementioned necklace.

Your fingers were on your chin and your upper teeth bit your lower lip gently, thinking whether or not this necklace was the one. After fighting back and forth with your thoughts, you sighed deeply, finally coming up with a decision.

“Alright, I’m getting the necklace.”

“A splendid choice indeed sir. Let’s go back to the counter to make the purchase.”

After confirming the authenticity of the jewelry and completing the transaction of your purchase, atlast, you can sigh in relief as the woman hands you a bag with the black box containing the necklace.

“Thank you so much, Miss…”

“Minjeong.” She completes your sentence, letting you know her name.

“Minjeong… Thank you for helping me out.”

“No problem, sir. I hope she’ll love the gift!”

“I hope so too. Thanks again and have a great day!” You were about to turn around and walk out of the store, but you suddenly thought of a plan. “Uhh, Miss Minjeong?”

“Yes sir?”

“If it’s not too much for me to ask, would you… reserve the ring for me?” You asked, making Minjeong smile as she knew the purpose of the task.

“Of course, sir.”

7:00 PM.

As you were waiting for your girlfriend to dress up for the birthday dinner, you browse through the Instagram app on your phone while humming to a song that you've been into nowadays.

"Honey, I'm ready!" Your girlfriend suddenly calls out.

"Finally, it felt like fore—ver..."

Hwang Yeji was beautiful as always, but this time it felt different. Her orange hair was tied up into a high ponytail with some hair left to be the side bangs. Although you would prefer it to be free, it doesn’t stop you from admiring her gorgeous features. Matching her white milky skin with a cute gray dress that you bought for her on Valentine’s Day, she was making your mouth open wide, truly astonished by her visuals. The infamous cat-like eyes then formed a crescent and the light pink lips smiled as the woman that took your heart walked closer towards you, making your heart beat faster than normal.

“How do I look?” Yeji asked and did a little twirl in front of you, showcasing her outfit fully. The scent of her favorite perfume lingers in the air.

Deciding that no words were needed to answer her question, both of your hands sneaked up to her waist to drive her body closer to yours. Yeji was a bit surprised at your act but quickly succumbed to it as your head leaned down to give her a deep kiss.

"You look so beautiful." you said after you pulled away from the kiss and were greeted by the sight of Yeji smiling ear to ear while slightly blushing.

“Thank you. You're not so bad yourself." Yeji said and fixed the collar of your dress shirt, then wrapped her arms around your neck before kissing you again.

"Alright alright, let's go now, or else we're gonna be late."

You promptly hold onto Yeji's hand in which she returns it happily. After putting on a face mask, both of you then leave the door of your shared apartment to head to a restaurant that is just a five-minute walk away.

Thank god that it was a Wednesday, which meant that there were fewer people around the area of your apartment. Now with both of your arms linked together, you both went through countless stores and buildings along the way to the restaurant. Yeji’s head was resting on your left shoulder the entire time, showing you how clingy and adorable she can be even under her mask.

Before entering the restaurant, Yeji looked a bit hesitant as she held onto your arms tighter as you were about to grab the door’s handle.

“What’s wrong honey?” you asked her.

“T-There’s a lot of people here… I’m just afraid that we’re gonna get noticed.”

“Yeji, there’s nothing to worry about. I booked a private dining room for us. Besides, this place is owned by my friend, so rest assured that the waiters and the staff will keep our secret, alright?” you explained to Yeji who nodded her head cutely in agreement.

Opening the door of the restaurant, you both were instantly greeted by the hostess. You told her that you made a reservation and soon after, she led the both of you to the private dining room of the restaurant which was on the second floor.

Yeji was in awe, amazed by the aesthetic of the room. It was luxurious yet elegant, and offered an enthralling view of the hustle and bustle of the street. A massive chandelier was lighting up the room, glistening and casting white reflections on the gray walls. You both sat down on the white chair, the decorative table was already prepared with utensils, a glass that was already filled with ice-cold water, and a menu in front of both of you. Yeji looks out to the window, observing the scenery that was unfolding outside. You just smiled and admired her side profile that was on your sight with the menu book wide open in your hands.

Suddenly, footsteps filled the room, letting you know that the waiter had arrived. You were still having a hard time deciding on what to get since there were so many options listed. Before you could even ask what Yeji wanted, she immediately listed out her orders. Once you have ordered your meal, the waiter confirms both of your orders and explains that they will be ready in about fifteen minutes.

Another set of footsteps was heard again as the waiter left the room. You and Yeji turned towards where the sound was coming from and once you got a good look at that person, you smiled wide as the person that was getting closer was someone familiar to you.

"Jimin!" you called out to the person before standing up from your seat. She then pulls you in for a hug once she’s close, making Yeji widen her eyes.

Yu Jimin is one of your closest friends from high school. While you both had a different interest in education with her being into business and you into science, it doesn't stop you both from hanging out with each other. Nowadays, it's a bit hard for you and her to hang out, let alone meet because of your separate careers keeping you both busy. Even so, messages and video calls were the ones to help cure that longing.

Yeji eyed the woman who was still hugging you tightly. Jealousy filled her brain as she realized that the woman had a striking figure, equipped with a pair of large breasts and deadly hips which was visible from her black dress alone. Once Jimin pulls away from you, Yeji finally has a chance to have a good look on her face. As expected, she has an attractive and charming visual, forcing Yeji to wonder if both of you are close enough until...

"Oh yeah, Yeji, this is Jimin, the owner of this restaurant and one of my best friends from high school."

"Nice to meet you, Jimin. I love the look of this place!” Yeji extended her hand out for a handshake and Jimin happily returned it.

“Thank you! This is my first time meeting an idol up close and serving them in my restaurant, so it’s a pleasure to have you here!" Jimin then turned her focus back to you. "It's so good to see you again oppa! How have you been?"

"Good obviously, it's my girlfriend's birthday today!"

“Oh yeah, happy birthday!”

“Thank you!” Yeji answered.

"I’m so glad that you guys came here to celebrate. You know oppa, Aeri has been asking me when are you going to visit us again since you know, you’ve been soooo busy with work nowadays.” Jimin said, flipping her hair and cutely hitting you on the shoulder.

“I’ll come to visit around this week. How is she doing anyway? She hasn't messaged me in a while."

"She's been getting more into her musicals lately. I think she has a show toni-” Jimin was interrupted by her phone suddenly ringing loudly as it was getting a call. “Oh! Excuse me for a moment.” She then turned around and answered the call with a lot of 'mhm' and nodding.

"Work stuff?" you asked Jimin who was finished with her call.

"Yeah. Sorry that I can't stick around any much longer."

"It's alright. See you soon!" you said.

"Enjoy your meal! Bye!" Jimin quickly left the room while waving goodbye, leaving you and Yeji alone once again.

"So, what does she mean by 'visit'?" Yeji asked you in a cold tone.

"We sometimes hang out at her place, usually at night-" You suddenly realize why Yeji asked you as she's glaring at you with a hint of anger and jealousy in her eyes.

"D-Don't get me wrong! We're j-just friends, nothing m-more than that!" You tried to explain yourself but Yeji's gaze doesn't seem to change one bit.

"So you want me to believe that you never slept with her?"

Her question was so unexpected that you started sweating because of it. Sure, you technically did sleep with her but not until you both well… had sex. However, Yeji's gaze of evil was making you nervous and clueless on how to answer her question.

"I-uh, we-um," You start stuttering with your head looking down, something that you rarely ever do because this is the first time that Yeji was getting jealous.

"Because even I would've," Yeji said once more, making you perk your head up to see her expression changed to a smirk. "Don't worry honey, I'm not jealous. I trust that you both are just friends." Yeji giggled.

A few minutes passed by and both of your orders started to appear one by one on the table. Once all of the food has arrived, you both quickly dig in as the aroma of the food was making your mouth water. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, beefy and a little salty and the addition of fries just made it even more enjoyable. As you took a second bite, you heard Yeji’s moans that almost made you spat out the food inside your mouth as she was satisfied with her meal. Like the sweet couple you both were, the two of you shared each other’s meal while enjoying the warm atmosphere of being together.

The dinner was ending soon and Yeji ordered a big bowl of vanilla and chocolate ice cream for you both to share. Silently rummaging in your pocket for a certain box, you smiled after confirming that it was still in your possession. You looked at Yeji who was happily eating the ice cream. With a nervous sigh, you begin the scene that you were most looking forward to for today.

“Honey?” Yeji’s head then turned cutely towards you. “Close your eyes.”

“Hm, why? Are you gonna prank me again?” Yeji said while pouting, reminiscing a memory that happened about two weeks ago where you pranked Yeji by putting icing on her nose when you asked her to close her eyes during tea time at a cafe.

“No no no, I promise this is not a prank. Just close your eyes for me, okay?”

“Hmm, okay…” Yeji then closes her eyes with her hands and you pull out the black box containing the necklace you bought yesterday from your pocket.

“Alright, open your eyes,” you said after placing the box in front of her on the table. “Happy birthday, my sweet little angel.”

Once Yeji’s hands slid off of her eyes, a surprised and bright expression was plastered on her face once her eyes caught the sight of the box. You lean your head on your right hand while smiling and watching her excitedly open your gift.

“So, do you like it?” you asked as she picked up the necklace, still looking sparkly as yesterday.

“Are you kidding me? Of course, I love it!” Yeji replied.

"Here, let me put it on you."

You stand up and move towards her side of the table. Once you're behind her, Yeji hands you the necklace. You bring it around her neck and fasten the clasp of the necklace perfectly. She then takes a look at the necklace, holding the heart pendant in her palm.

“Can I have a look?” Yeji turns her body behind to face you, letting you see how flawless she looks with the necklace. “Wow, you look great with it!” you exclaimed after leaning down a little to match her sitting position, making Yeji giggle and kiss you on the lips.

“Thank you oppa! I love you sooo much!” Yeji said before hooking her arms on your neck and giving you a set of pecks on your cheek.

"I love you more sweetie."

11:00 PM.

After the hearty dinner, Yeji wanted to go to the park near the apartment before going back home. As you both stroll around the park, you realize that there weren't that many people around which in return, makes you feel a little relieved. A few more minutes later, you both then sat down on a bench in front of a small pond to rest after the long walk.

“Ahh, this feels so nice…" Yeji said, slowly leaning back to the bench and closing her eyes.

"Yeah, especially with someone like you."

"Aww, stop that oppa!" Yeji gently punches your biceps, squealing at your little tease.

It couldn’t have been more perfect. The calming atmosphere paired with the beautiful scenery of the moonlight’s glow reflecting on the surface of the water, all adds up to the warm feeling in your heart—being together with the person you truly love.

You placed your arm on the headrest behind Yeji. Needless to say, she laid her head on your shoulder. Her hair trickles on your neck, but it doesn’t tickle at all. Patting her head is the way you spoil her with your affection. Her giggle is like a muse to your ear, and you would never get tired of it. It does hurt however when she looks up to you with her pure eyes. Your heart pounds rapidly, your body begins to feel warm, and your cheeks turn red.

Surely nothing could ruin this moment.

"Oppa."

"Hm?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

"We've been together for a long time now, right?"

"Yeah, three years to be exact."

"And… we love each other a lot, correct?"

You squint your eyes, feeling confused about a question that doesn't need an answer for. "Of course! What, don't you love me back babe?" you said while pouting.

"No no no no, I love you too honey!"

"Then, what's up? Have I done something wrong?"

There was a few seconds of silence in the air, which were rare in your conversations with Yeji. She seems hesitant and nervous, judging by how she's biting her lips often and her pupils looking around all over the place. Eventually, she gains the courage to speak up.

"What if… I was gone one day?"

You were stunned by her question. She's never been the type to be this sentimental. Usually, she would be the opposite and would never ask questions like these. She's always been simple-minded, so it was a shocker for you to hear these words from her.

"Yeji—"

"Would you still love me? Would you come find me?"

Her questions pour out even more, twisting your brain to find an answer, meanwhile generating more questions for you about why Yeji was acting this way in your head. At the same time, Yeji stayed silent and kept her head low, silently regretting her decision to ask such an imaginary question.

Regardless, you don't want to risk hurting her feelings, so you might as well answer it truthfully.

"Yes, yes I will."

Yeji lifts her head up. "Why—"

"Even though, it will never happen. I love you so much that I'll do everything in my power to make you stay. Even if it is fated, I will still find a way to look for you. Even if there are any consequences, even how difficult it would be. No matter what, you and I will never be apart. Because why?" You pull her body closer into your arms. "Because I love you, Hwang Yeji."

The woman in your embrace began to spill out tears from her eyes. She wasn't expecting such an answer. You hugged her tightly and patted her back gently to calm her down.

"I love you. I really do."

11:45 PM.

Finally, after almost thirty minutes of pampering your girlfriend, you both are on the way back to your apartment. Along the way, Yeji was back to herself, talking about how happy she was today to have spent precious time with you. Not only that, but Yeji also kept giving you kisses on the cheek after every minute passed. Thankfully, it was midnight, so no one was really around the neighborhood area anyways.

Eventually, your apartment was in your sight. You both only had one more street to cross. The crosswalk signal then turns green, prompting both you and Yeji to walk down the zebra crossing. As you held her hand, you felt a sudden uneasiness in your heart. However, her sweet smile was too distracting for you to think about it further.

Before you know it, your body was sent flying into the air. Everything seemed to transpire in slow motion until gravity pulled you back down to the earth. It wasn't a gentle one though, so it resulted in your head hitting the ground first and your vision instantly turning black.

.

.

Ugh…

.

What the... My head hurts. .

Shit, I can't see anything too.

.

Huh?

.

Oh my god—

.

“YEJI!”

Getting up was futile. Your whole body felt crushed by an unknown force. With all the strength you had, you reached out your hand and dragged yourself slowly. The headache was getting more painful, and your vision was getting blurrier as each second passed.

Regardless of what you're going through, you know that she's there.

Right in front of you.

Blood on your hands. Numbness on your legs. The shallowness of your breaths. Every grunt you let out conveys the pain you're feeling all over your body. The further you go, the more unbearable it gets.

"Yeji!"

Your ear caught the screams of a few people, fire crackles and metal banging against each other. Yet it doesn't phase you from locating her.

"Yeji…"

You're getting weaker.

There was nothing you could do anymore.

You reached out for the one last time….

….and a familiar hand brushes upon yours.

You held onto it tightly.

"Yeji, please… stay… with me—"

Your world blackens once again.

Only fate is your savior.
