Hi! How's loife?
I have had this thing bugging at my mind for the longest time and the entire concept is foul legacy having a child friend who's like 14-15 and fell into the abyss for a while and it started to corrupt how they look. I can imagine foul legacy being like a big brother and just protecting them. But I would find it so funny if they only showed themselves to childe. But after a while and a bit on convincing, and initially whenever he changed back they would just disappear and foul legacy would have to find them.
Thank you and here's a flower! đŽ
đanon
hello hello!!!! life is pretty funky and fresh (apart from this tumblr layout update guhh) hope you're doing well anon!!! :D
oh that is so cute, maybe Childe has to return to the Abyss on a mission, being one of the Harbingers with the most experience, and happens to come across you. he can tell from the moment he sees you that you've been down here for a while, with armor-like patches and odd, swirling markings littering your skin- but, oh, you're so young. Childe feels his heart pang with sorrow, kneeling down and holding out a hand to appear as nonthreatening as possible, using the same kind smile he gives to his siblings. you creep out from your hiding place, blinking curiously- this man looks like a human! he looks how you looked before you fell through that crack in the earth, all those months ago, and you step closer, a smile growing on your face
Childe sighs in relief when you approach easily, wrapping his gloved hand around yours, his mission forgotten. you remind him so much of his siblings, the only objective he has now is to get you out of this hellish, starlit place, so he quickly shifts into Foul Legacy for superior speed and strength
bad idea. you immediately squeak with fear and yank your hand away from his claws, darting behind a rock and out of sight. Foul Legacy lets out a despondent whine, quickly following behind you and stopping just outside of where you're hiding, his voice dropping to a low, soothing coo. he hunches his back when you hesitantly peek out again, trying to seem smaller than he actually is, softly chirping and holding up his hands. your curiosity overwhelms your fear and you step closer, hands petting Foul Legacy's soft lilac fluff, the dips and curves in his armor unique yet similar to the patches on your body, and you giggle happily as he carefully engulfs you in a firm hug, your first embrace in months
Childe gains a new sibling that day, connected through the stars of the Abyss
#genshin impact#childe#tartaglia#foul legacy#foul legacy childe#genshin tartagalia#genshin childe#genshin tartaglia#chit chat#đ anon#oooo and if you end up being a vision holder like he is#childe teaches you how to use your Abyssal and elemental powers!!#maybe you become a trainee of the Fatui#and he takes you on as his personal apprentice#short scenario#other's stuff

Alfred gains an unique apprentice after his arm got fractured.
Most of the batfam has been causing a ruckus in the Wayne Manor for the past 4 months that even Alfred was feeling a bit worn out.
To the point that his personal favorite market friends suggest getting a trainee, or a ward to help him out epecially because Alfred isn't getting any younger, no matter how well he took care of his own health.
Helda got herself a ward herself, a sweet little girl, name Ellen who help her keep the lil Duckling candles shop in order especially after her hip surgery went through, and will be taking over for her considering helda had no descendents, but Ellen make her feel young again.
Alfred merely delined, but ended up getting the card still by persistented friends. A card with a purple GrandFather clock symbol and a number on it. He left it in his draw as he was not rude enough to throw away.
Then came the prank war 13 on June 15th in the Wayne Manor that Alfred accidentally ended up being targeted by pure coincidence which ended with him with a fractured arm..
Both Bruce and Alfred was majorly disappointed with how far escalated the prank war went that got immediately stop when the batfam saw Alfred gotten injured during it.
Except now Alfred is stuck for 6-10 weeks without using his right arm until his personal doctor said it ok to take the cast off then have a arm sling..
Alfred was immensely stubborn for 3 days, 3 days of trying to do all his duties.. before he gave in..
And called the number on the card, and received a lovely blue letter with a couple of oddly specific paperwork on a type of help he need, what is your age, your job occupied, have any illness or arthritis, needs in case of meta or superpower sudden surprises appear, how dangerous is your and your family lifestyle, etc
By the time he finished the paperwork and hand it sent back in the return blue letter. It was by day 5 on a Friday when he received a letter back, stating that that a ward been selected and will be coming from Amity Park to help him.
Alfred was expected a teenager, but a 7 year old boy with blaring light blue eyes, starlight like freckles, black hair with a medium space designed suitcase and a very old and worn out bearbert plush on top of it.
"Good morning, You must be Mr. Pennyworth, and I'm Danny." Danny beamed a soft smile with the eyes of wisdom and understanding. Alfred pause for a mere second before a soft smile bloomed and open the door wide for him.
"Hello there Danny, do come in. Alfred said softly as he watch danny a bit with curiosity.
Would you like a snack before we start the day?" Alfred ask as he escorted danny to the kitchen to help him with today breakfast along with a list of the breakfast dishes with ingredients.
"That ok, what would you like to help you do, cut the vegetables, stir the pot, help lift the food into the oven, or clean the dishes, because you aren't going to try and do that all with a broken arm, right?" Danny said as he look at today breakfast list, going to the sink and cleaning his hand thoroughly first before touching any fresh ingredients already put out while Alfred pick the frying pans, cups, dishes and utensils for the batfam.
Alfred notice right away that danny was floating a bit to pick the heavy large pot full of marinated food from the fridge that was supposed to be on the stove for slow brothing for later today dinner, considering alfred couldn't well take it out himself since his arm was broken..
Smiling softly to himself that it was a good idea to have a ward of his own as he teaches danny the best techniques to make a Benedict.
New post here

Room for One More
pairing: leon kennedy x fem!reader x chris redfield
summary: months ago, chris let his apprentice slip through his fingers when she transferred to the d.s.o. to work with leon kennedy. now the three of them have been sent on a mission together and are forced to share a hotel room.
cw: nsfw (18+), smut, threesome, p in v, oral sex (f and m recieving), face-sitting, exhibitionism, age gap (early 20s, late 30s), jealousy, light angst
word count: 9.2k
a/n: had this in my drafts since february let's go. hope you guys like it <3
You and Leon were so fucking annoying.
Irritating, aggravating, infuriating pains in his ass. Thatâs all Chris could think while speeding down the road, his knuckles white from their tight grip on the steering wheel. The three of you were all supposed to be professionals for godâs sake. He shouldnât have to deal with the two of you acting no better than a couple of horny teenagers during a fucking mission.
It was constant. The giggling and gasping, soft whines of âLeon stoppppp.â And he could hear Leonâs stupid fucking smirk when he chuckled and kept doing whatever was causing you to squirm around with him in the back seat. If he had to sit through much more of this, he was pretty sure heâd end up plowing the car into a nearby tree and putting himself out of his misery.
Chris glanced in the rearview mirror. Darkness engulfed the car right now, making it hard to clearly see what his âpartnersâ were up to. All he could really make out was that Leonâs head had been in the crook of your neck but was now tilted upwards to capture you in a kiss. The only thing keeping him sane was the miniscule light in the distance. The small reminder that he wouldnât be stuck in the car with the sounds of saliva swapping forever. He lets out a deep sigh and shakes his head, trying to will himself to just tune the aggravation out. But as the minutes pass by, each wet smack of lips grates on his nerves more and more.
âCan you two cut it out back there? Iâm trying to focus,â he says. His harsh stare remains on the road ahead.
He hears your bodies briefly untangling as his words pierce the bubble you had created for yourselves. Leon is the first to respond.
âOur mistake, Redfield. Didnât know it was such a challenge to go twenty-five miles an hour on an empty road,â he remarks. Again, Chrisâs blood boils as he senses that self-satisfied expression taking over the other manâs features.
Your light slap to Leonâs bicep sounds through the carâs interior. âSorry, Chris. Weâll keep it down,â you apologize.
In contrast to your boyfriend, your tone rings genuine. You sounded almost a little embarrassed by Chris calling out your antics. Your soft voice drifting to his ears actually softens him a tad. He knew the expression you wore now too. How your eyes were fixed on the DSO agent, giving him the glare you used when you wanted to seem firm. In reality, it came off as cute, like an angry kitten. And now Leon got to be the one to grin at you and shake his head, amused by your sweet face. He got to be in the position Chris let slip through his fingers months ago.
***
Youâd been his first. Started out at the BSAA as his rookie. Your first day youâd been so bright-eyed, hopeful and ready to start out your career and face the world. Heâd been reluctant to take on a trainee at first. Itâs a lot of work with a 50/50 shot at reward, but the second he laid eyes on you, he knew the luck of the draw had worked in his favor.
You were the ideal apprentice. A great listener, eager to learn everything you could, and accepting of commands. Every day with you was a breeze. And besides the parts of you suited for your job, you were just generally pleasant to be around. He could joke with you, talk to you about damn near any subject. You were a great partner in the field too. At first, heâd been worried. A cute little thing like you taking on bioterrorists? He struggled to believe that would work out. As soon as he saw you in action though, you left no doubt that heâd been wrong. He became more taken with you upon seeing you act so capable. He realized that he felt a connection with you that heâd been lacking for so much of his life.
Unfortunately for him, he had these pesky things called âmoralsâ that prevented him from pursuing you. Every time he legitimately considered flirting or asking you out, the guilt gnawed at him, filling his mind with words of shame rather than anything that could charm you. No matter how he thought about it, he just couldnât work out any way it would be right. Not only were you his subordinate, his rookie, you were nearly twenty years his junior too. You shouldnât be wasting the prime of your life with some old man, so he cut off any hope of being more than a mentor to you.
About a year after heâd taken you on, the two of you were sent on that mission in Texas. It was simple, standard, routine. You and Chris were simply there to assist local police with the aftermath of a bioterror attack. Both of you were in the transport vehicle on the way to the site, and this was a rare occasion where he was pretty calm. He wasnât tense or anxious, didnât have any other motive than getting in and getting out. He was just enjoying the ride and watching your pretty face soak up the sunlight beaming through the window.
What he hadnât been briefed on was the DSOâs involvement in the case. More specifically, a certain DSO agentâs presence. Apparently heâd been in the area on unrelated business and had been ordered to stop by in case your team needed assistance.
The two of you got out of the car and wandered through the remnants of the event. At first, Chris was happy to see him. Itâd been a while, and he seemed to be in a better place than the last time theyâd met. You seemed happy to see him too despite the fact that youâd never met before. Right then, Chris shouldâve known it was over.
âWhoâs that?â you asked with more interest than he felt was appropriate, leaning closer his muscular frame to keep your tone hushed.
He glanced down at you and raised his eyebrows, initially amused with the way you almost seemed in awe.
âLeon Kennedy. Heâs with the DSO. Probably just here for some backup,â he informed you.
You nodded, and as you padded along behind Chris, your eyes remained locked on the agent in front of you. If he hadnât been wrapped around your finger, it would have been obvious to him that you were developing a little crush. You became so bashful around Leon. Smiling up at him, batting your eyelashes like a cartoon character, following him around the scene like a puppy.
At the time, Chris thought that you were simply intrigued by the prestige of the DSO. Looking back, he couldnât believe how clueless heâd been.
It was only six weeks later that you came to his office to notify him you were transferring agencies.
âWhat do you mean transferring? Iâve been training you to work here. I need you here,â Chris said.
Your eyes had cast down. Your body appeared to shrink in on itself. âI know. The BSAA is important and all, and Iâll always be grateful for what I learned here. Itâs just that Leon saidâŚâ
And those last two words were all Chris heard.
âLeon said? Whatâs he know? He met you one time. Heâs gonna try and tell you that youâre a better fit for the DSO?â he asked, probably coming off more interrogating than concerned, âYouâre perfect for what we do here. The Agency hasnât had someone with your propensity for research and field work in years.â
All his reasons paled in comparison to the hearts you had in your eyes for Leon. Chris ended the day by signing off on your transfer and watching you pack up your desk. You gave him a hug and tearful words of goodbye before walking out the translucent doors of the BSAA building.
The next time he saw you was another two months after that. He had to bring some files over to the DSO building. The only thing he was looking forward to about it was seeing how his rookie was adapting to her new position. He wasnât prepared for the sharp pain in his chest when he saw your new position was on Leonâs lap.
Your eyes had gone wide. You shot up off the other manâs thighs to try and act as if you two were merely two agents and nothing more. Chris wasnât fooled, but he kept his composure even in the face of Leonâs obvious amusement. He had no real place to get mad at you. Itâs not like you were throwing your career away; you still held a respectable position at a federal government agency. You hadnât betrayed him either. The relationship between you and him had actually just been professional. He had no claim on you that could keep Leon away. The only thing Chris had to be angry about was the fact that you were going to spend the prime of your life with some guy over a decade older than you. It just wasnât gonna be him.
***
The collection of lights down the road were getting closer now. You and Leon had settled down enough to make the last fifteen minutes of this trip bearable. Chris glances around the small, misty town the road was leading into. It was pretty desolate and old-fashioned. Everything was tinted orange from the dated street lamps lining the road. Buildings were mostly bricks except for the upcoming motel which looked primarily wooden. It wouldâve been eerie if he wasnât so exhausted.
He pulled into the parking lot of the place and stopped the car. Turning around in his seat to talk to you and Leon, he tries not to roll his eyes at how the younger man has you tucked to his side while you show him something on your phone.
Chris clears his throat. Leonâs eyes meet his, still smug from the earlier exchange. He canât be mad though because you look up at him in earnest, ready to do what needs to be done.
âThe target isnât going to be passing through until tomorrow. How would the two of you feel about staying here for the night?â he asks.
Fortunately, you and Leon seem to want to rest for a while just as much as he does so thereâs no pushback.
Chris steps out of the car into the brisk air. He heads across the way into the small lobby of the motel to grab a room. You and your boyfriend handle getting the small bags you were allowed to take on missions out of the car.
âCold out here, baby,â Leon mumbles as he pulls you flush against his chest and plants some kisses down your neck.
âMhm. And youâre making me shiver more,â you say as you still try to collect the bags.
He chuckles at your little joke and nips at the warm flesh of your throat. âOnce we get in the room, I think Iâll be able to heat you up,â he says.
You giggle and squirm a bit in his hold as Chris comes back to the car. Heâs stone faced, but for once on this trip, it isnât due to you and Leon.
âThey only have one room available,â he says flatly and holds up the small golden key.
Your face drops and Leon lets go of you.
âWhat do you mean they only have one room?â he asks, âLook at this place. It doesnât even look like anyoneâs even accidentally wandered through here in this century. How could they only have one room?â
âThey said the others are closed for renovation,â Chris relays.
âRenovation for what? For the ghosts of people who stayed here the last time this place was actually full?â Leon continues.
âI donât know, man. You wanna go in there and argue with the lady at the desk? Sheâs half deaf and in a great mood, Iâm sure sheâll be open to hearing your concerns,â the older man says sarcastically, beginning to grow frustrated.
Their bickering continues as you glance around at your surroundings. It was cold, it was dark, and it really was starting to creep you out how empty this place was.
You carefully take Leonâs hand and give it a little tug.
âIâm really tired. Can we just deal with it for the night?â you ask him hopefully.
He looks over at you, the petty complaints seeping from his body when he hears your soft voice requesting something so simple.
He sighs and nods. âYeah, sweetheart,â he says and kisses your forehead.
Chris is grateful for your intervention and scoops up the bags so you arenât bothered with them. The three of you walk in line to your room.
The door creaks as your ex-mentor pushes it open. Itâs pitch black inside until Leon reaches over and taps the light switch. Your eyes scan the small room. It wasnât a horrible set up. The furniture was a little vintage to put it nicely, but it didnât feel haunted. Two double beds sat against one wall while a ratty leather chair occupied the opposite corner. Besides that there was a dresser, an old tv that was shaped like a cube, and a small counter with a microwave and mini-fridge. Leon looks around with the same disinterest displayed on your face.
âHey, at least there isnât only one bed,â he jokes and slaps Chrisâs shoulder.
The older man rolls his eyes and tosses his duffel onto the mattress closest to the door. You and your boyfriend follow suit. You tuck your bag neatly against the side of the dresser while he drops it on the floor next to the farther bed.
âIâm gonna take a shower,â Chris tells the both of you as he fishes some fresh clothes and toiletries out of his bag.
He gets two unconcerned nods in response, and thatâs enough for him to head to the bathroom. As heâs shutting the door, he can already hear your giggling starting up again along with the creak of the mattress, presumably from Leon pulling you down onto it.
Turning on the water, he sighs deeply. The faucet was as old as everything else in the room. It whooshed and groaned before starting up and letting out some water. The stream was hot and even, so he guessed he couldn't complain too much. He sheds his clothes and steps in the shower that was too small for him. The confined area didnât act as much as a reprieve for him. His head is about three or four inches too tall for where the showerhead was angled. The slick curtain clings to the part of his bicep that stuck out against it.
It felt like a physical manifestation of how the next twelve hours would feel.
Being in the room next to you and Leon wouldâve been bad enough. Heâd have to hear you two going at it for hours like there was no tomorrow, but at least heâd be alone. He wouldnât have to repress his grimaces or hide his wistful exhales. No one would have to know how shameful he looked when he felt himself getting hard over the way you whined and mewled for the other agent.
Now you two wouldnât be going at it, but heâd have to be in the room clouded by both of your desires to do it. Heâd have to watch the lingering looks and hear the little hitches in your breaths. Heâd see whatever cute little pajamas wore and the way you curled up to Leon beneath the covers. Heâd witness how peaceful your face looked while you slept in another manâs arms.
Heâd honestly just prefer to be forced to listen to the sounds of your headboard banging against the wall all night.
But he pushes those thoughts away to finish up washing himself. His large hands guide the shampoo out of his hair and glide the washcloth over his muscular form. The steam starting to rise helps to calm him a little.
He isnât in there for much longer before he shuts the water off and steps out of the shower to dry off. He wraps a towel around his waist, letting the cloth hang on hips just below his happy trail and v-line. His reflection gazes back at him through the fog on the mirror as he rubs a towel over his head and dries his hair.
In an effort to be considerate, he dresses in the bathroom. Gray sweats cover his lower half while a loose t-shirt adorns his chest. He makes sure everything in the bathroom is back in place before heading back out there, hopefully to just get some sleep and not be bothered by his temporary roommates.
That isnât meant to be though. As soon as he steps back into the main portion of the room, heâs greeted by the sight of Leonâs hand down your shorts and your lips locked together in a flurry of kisses. Heâs frozen in place for a moment, watching how Leonâs knuckles move underneath the fabric between your legs. Though a moment later, he remembers how he should be reacting.
âCome the fuck on,â he says and brings his hand to his face in frustration.
Your eyes widen, and your head snaps up. Leon lazily glances in his direction. Chris looks back at the pair of you, thinking youâd had enough time to readjust. What really enrages him now is that Leonâs hand was still where it was. You have to grab his wrist and pull it away.
âIâm so sorry, Chris,â you apologize without another thought, âWe got distracted and didnât hear the water shut off. Iâm so-â
He doesnât even look at you though. Heâs locked in a stare with the other man in the room.
âGrow the fuck up, Leon,â he says, his tone deadly serious, âIâve had enough of this shit. Youâre acting like a fucking high schooler. Like a dog with a bone.â
You go silent and look down with guilt. He wouldâve felt bad if he wasnât so fed up. To make matters worse, Leon merely rolls his eyes.
âJesus, calm down,â he says, âYouâre acting like you just walked in on a porno or something. Youâve never seen two people making out?â
âLeon, shut up,â you say, keeping your voice hushed as if Chris couldnât hear you from a small distance of ten feet. Your boyfriend doesnât even acknowledge you though.
âThatâs not what itâs about, and you know that. I donât give a shit if the two of you want to make out till your lips are blue. Do it on your own time. I donât wanna have to deal with the two of you slobbering all over each other while Iâm trying to do my job,â he says with a glare.
âThatâs not what this is about either, and you know it,â the younger man retorts.
âLeon, just give it up!â you plead. He shoots you a look though that makes you react like a scolded puppy.
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â Chris asks incredulously as he crosses his arms.
Your boyfriend almost laughs in his face. He sits up, looking at him with a more pointed gaze. âYou donât care about what Iâm doing. Youâre pissed off because Iâm doing it with her,â he taunts.
Somehow the look on Chrisâs face darkens further.
âAlright, man. Iâm sure thatâs what it is. Itâs not you just being an insecure dickhead like always,â he says, trying to sound dismissive as he walks to his own bed, âYou're more immature than I thought.â
âDonât try to act like itâs bullshit because I know itâs the truth. All the years Iâve known you, all the missions weâve partnered on; this isnât the first time youâve seen me with a girl but youâve never pitched a fit about it before,â Leon says.
Chris shakes his head, not dignifying the accusations with a response, but he wonât give it up.
âAlso, you think Iâm fucking stupid? You think I donât see the way youâre looking at her? Undressing her with your eyes, laser focused every time she bends over? I think if she gave you the go ahead, you wouldnât even hesitate to steal her away from me,â he says.
You notice as they argue that in contrast to the genuine aggravation on Chrisâs face, Leonâs words come from somewhere else. Almost as if heâs enjoying calling him a liar, poking and prodding at the other man to provoke a reaction.
Chris looks directly at him now as if heâs ready to lunge in a momentâs notice.
âShut your mouth. You donât know what youâre talking about,â he says.
âTell me then. Tell me how it is.â
That makes the older man pause. Of course Leon was right, but under no circumstances would he make that apparent.
âShe had a bright future ahead of her, and look what youâve done. Sheâs the best either one of the agencies has had in years, and you keep her in the palm of your hand like sheâs a barbie doll!â he exclaims.
He sees the flicker of hurt on your face and knows he fucked up, but he could apologize later. He continues speaking to try and temporarily rectify his slip up.
âSheâs too good for you, Leon,â he says simply, sighing and sitting down on his bed.
You see genuine emotion flash in your boyfriend's eyes. Chris struck a chord, picking at a very real insecurity Leon held. But he wanted to win this confrontation too, so he wouldnât let that be known. Instead, he beckons you to him with a languid wave of his hand.
âCâmere, baby.â
Chris rolls his eyes, thinking Leon was gonna swoop in to comfort you for the way your feelings had been hurt. You waddle across the mattress on your knees and plop down between his legs, your back against his chest. His hands sweep over your stomach, soothingly caressing your skin.
âShe might be too good for me, but youâre pissed off because sheâs too good for you too,â he says.
âLeon, stop,â you whisper. Tomorrow was going to be awkward enough as is. He didnât need to make it any worse.
Chris glances up at the two of you but looks down again quickly, not wanting to see the way the other manâs hands moved on your body.
âYou think Iâm the bad guy. That Iâm corrupting your innocent little rookie,â Leon mocks, âBut tell me you wouldnât take my place if you could.â
âI wouldnât,â he mumbles instantaneously.
âLook me in the eyes and tell me. Tell me that if she was actually interested in you, that you wouldnât have taken her in your arms as fast as you could. When she was prancing around the BSAA, looking up at you with stars in her eyes, tell me you didnât want her,â your boyfriend challenges.
Chris looks up at the both of you. His expression is hard to read. Itâs some mixture of hurt and relief that youâre unfamiliar with.
âI didnât,â he maintains.
Leonâs hand continues trailing on your tummy up and down. His fingers coast in between your breasts, causing you to shiver, but everyoneâs so wrapped up in the conflict that you choose not to say anything.
âThatâs a shame because Iâm pretty sure your little rookie had a crush on you,â he says quietly.
âDonât joke around like that Leon,â Chris scoffs at the same time as your eyes widen and you start to tell your boyfriend to be quiet.
âShh shh shh,â he hushes you and places a small kiss on your temple, âYouâre giving yourself away, sweetheart.â
You look down and the man across from you just looks confused. Leon smirks at the both of you before resuming.
âCâmon man. Donât tell me you couldnât see it. Sheâs a terrible liar, and I think she had it pretty bad for you. I just came along and pulled her attention elsewhere,â he says, teasing you while redirecting his words to Chris.
Your face was heating up fast as Leon aired out a confession youâd made to him on a night after too many drinks. Chris slowly returned his gaze back to the two of you. Instead of bothering with Leon, he looked into your eyes this time.
âIs that true?â he asks.
Every limb on your body feels frozen up, but you manage to force your head into nodding. You hear Leon chuckle from behind you, which only intensifies how awkward you feel.
âI liked you at first when I first started working at the BSAA. For the first few months,â you begin to explain. Itâs not like anything you said would help the situation at all, but it still felt like you were supposed to offer something.
He continues staring at you, and you honestly canât tell whatâs running through his mind. All you can think is that he looks like heâs in pain. Meanwhile, your boyfriendâs hands caress over your skin in a pattern theyâd developed.
âYou were just so nice and understanding with me-â you start. But youâre cut off by your sharp gasp when Leonâs hand slides under the waistband of your bottoms and into your panties.
âLeon!â you whimper as fast as his fingers find your clit. You grab his wrist and try to pull it away like youâd done earlier, but when he didnât want to be interrupted, he wouldnât be. It wasnât like you tried too hard anyways. You were still a little pent up from earlier, craving the pleasure that had been cut short.
âNo, go on, sweetheart. Keep telling Chris how much you liked him. I know he wants to hear it,â he says lowly while his fingers toy with you.
âLeon,â Chris says firmly, trying to stand up for you. But fuck, if he didnât want to keep watching your breath hitch and your hips squirm. Or your face getting pouty whenever his fingers stroked a certain way.
âChris,â he says back, âDonât act like you donât wanna see. This might be your only chance.â
He smirks and kisses your temple again, rotating the pad of his middle finger over your clit. The motions draw little whines from you, and your eyes flutter. You keep them on Chris, looking into his own as you sink back into Leonâs chest.
âGo ahead, honey. Continue your story,â Leon prompts.
âYou were so sweet- mm- and you taught me a lot and- ah- I donât know it was just a little crush,â you say timidly.
Chris watches you. He doesnât move at all for fear of bringing attention to how fast his cock has hardened.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â he breathes.
âCause you were my boss,â you say, âI- Leon fuck- I didnât wanna put you in a bad position.â
His chest feels like itâs turned to stone as he takes in these revelations. Itâs hard not to let the regret take over. The realization that heâd been much closer to everything heâd wanted threatened to consume him if he dwelled on it. That on top of the fact that he was hearing all this while you whimpered another manâs name between your words had his mind scrambled.
âIt wouldnât have put me in a bad position, sweetheart,â he says, attempting to sound normal about the situation.
Your lips curve further down, as if you feel guilty for the mess of emotions building inside him. Behind you, Leonâs mouth makes the opposite expression.
âWhat happened to not wanting her, Redfield?â he teases.
âShut up,â Chris says. Even if he wasnât the one pleasuring you, this was a moment for you and him.
His eyes are locked on you, trying to drink in everything about the vision of beauty in front of him. Leonâs warning that this could be the only time he gets to see it echoes in his mind. He doesnât know how heâll survive if this is the only time. He doesnât think he could ever get enough of this. The way your lashes flutter and your eyes look dreamy. How your soft thighs tremble while spread open. The little movements of your hips rocking your ass back and forth against the man behind you.
Why couldnât that man be him?
It was the most blissful form of torture heâd experienced. He tried to tell himself that even if he just got to watch you cum, itâd be worth it. Itâd be better to share this unforgettable sliver of time with you than to have nothing special at all.
He tries to refocus himself back on enjoying the view of your shorts sliding off your legs rather than mourn the relationship heâd lost out on. It was just nearly impossible to avoid envisioning himself and the other man swapped. He had imagined you in his lap like that for months before you even knew the name Leon Kennedy.
Chrisâs mind is actually drawn back to the action in front of him once Leonâs got your shorts off, and your panties are fully exposed. The crotch is soaked through. He can see the way the fabric sticks to your center, only peeling away to make space for the nimble fingers working beneath it.
âLeonâŚâ you mewl and tilt your head back against his shoulder.
âI know, princess,â he murmurs, âYouâre doing such a good job showing off for Chris. Iâm proud of you. Youâre really making it worth his while.â
âThank you,â you whimper.
Leon grins at your display of submission and rewards you with a gentle pinch to your clit. You yelp, and Chrisâs cock jerks inside his pants. His bulge is completely visible to everyone in the room by now, no way of sitting could hide that. Despite his arousal, he still had questions.
âAm I the reason you left?â he decides to ask you.
He watches you snap out of the throes of lust and look at him. You hesitate before answering.
âNo,â you say softly, âI left to be with Leon.â
It feels like a dagger straight to his heart. He watches any chance of salvaging you as his own die before his very eyes, those words acting as the nails in the coffin. It shows on his face too because he can see the guilt replacing the desire in your eyes. Even Leonâs face flashes with some sympathy. He tilts his head towards you again and nips at the shell of your ear.
âI think you might have hurt Chrisâs feelings, baby,â he chides lovingly. His hand then leaves your panties and goes with his other one to your waist. Boosting you to your feet, he looks up at you and taps your ass. âMaybe you should help him feel better. Show him some of what I taught you.â
Thereâs only a brief pause on your part. You stand between the two beds, between the two men, looking back and forth. You werenât against the idea at all, it just didnât seem real. You never imagined this happening in your wildest dreams.
You drop to your knees and approach Chris from the ground, positioning yourself between his legs and looking up at him.
âYou donât have to,â he says, his tone quiet and genuine.
You reach up, sliding your hand up his thigh to palm at his bulge.
âI know,â you respond.
In the simplest of terms, you were still very much attracted to Chris. Your relationship with Leon had extinguished the torch you carried for him down to a small flame, but on a physical and instinctual level, you still wanted him bad. Especially having not cum yet after being teased twice. Your fingers unzip his pants and begin pulling them down, eager to get his cock out.
In a way, you were pretty sure you loved him. Not in the way you love Leon. You knew that. You didnât dream of love and marriage and the baby carriage with Chris. But for so long, heâd been your safe space. Amongst the violence and horrors in the world of Bioterrorism, your mentor had always been there for you to hold your hand.
You yank his pants down to his ankles, and his dick flops out against his thigh. Your eyes widen slightly. It made sense for it to be big just like everything else on him was, but the sight had you drooling. It was thick and long, from one look you could only imagine how it would stretch you out.
Your fingers wrap around the length, feeling its warmth. The veins that sprawl across it pulse with desire for you. He moans quietly with only one stroke. Your hand pumps up and down tentatively as you spit down onto it for some lubrication.
No one in the room is in the mood to be teased tonight, so you lean in and flick your tongue against the tip. Another groan bubbles from Chrisâs lips and you can feel Leonâs lecherous gaze on you the entire time. You lap at the head some more and keep working your fist up and down.
Youâre either very talented or Chris is very needy for you, because it only takes a handful of gentle licks before precum beads at the top. His eyes are blown out and locked on you as you suckle the swollen tip between your lips and bob your head. Your mouth is the perfect combination of warm and wet and soft. You cup his balls and give them a gentle massage while working your magic.
He reaches down and pets your head as you work. His head snaps up when he hears the other man speak to him.
âHowâs it feel? As good as you imagined?â he asks.
âBetter,â Chris moans.
His breaths enter and exit his lungs in deep puffs. This truly was better than he couldâve imagined. Everything about you was beyond the capabilities of human imagination. Your gags were so soft and tender. They were precious despite their inherent lewd nature. You looked up at him with glossy eyes, maintaining eye contact most of the time. That was something heâd taught you. Your first days of work you were always looking down at your shoes or right through him at the wall. Heâd been the one to tell you eye contact was important. It was the most baseline form of connection.
You take your mouth off Chrisâs shaft with a small pop. A string of saliva dangles between you and his cock, but you quickly destroy it when your lips smoosh against the flushed skin. You kiss the tip over and over, savoring the taste of precum it brings.
âIâm sorry,â you whisper, not caring if he heard or not.
But he does, and his gaze softens. âYou donât have anything to be sorry for, rookie,â he says back.
Leon decides not to interrupt the exchange or tease Chris about the old nickname for you. He had no genuine ill will toward the other man. That plus his own cock was rising to attention, and he was more interested in palming it through his jeans.
âYou're such a good girl. You donât need to apologize for anything,â Chris continues to coo at you as you take his length back into your mouth.
His eyes crinkle as they shut. He doesnât want to cum yet just in case there was the chance for anything more. Youâre too taken with servicing him to notice that you should maybe slow down. Lucky for the both of you, Leon intervenes.
âAh ah, baby. Donât take Chris out of the fun too quick,â he tuts, reaching forward to guide your head back.
You pull off obediently and lean back onto your knees. Chris sighs at the reprieve but nearly blows his load when his eyes refocus on you gazing up at him with spit and precum on your lips.
âI think Chris needs a break, angel. You know how good that mouth of yours is,â he says and pets your head before looking up to the older man, âYou want a little taste of her while you cool off?â
Itâs like time slows to a halt in the world of Chris Redfield. The heavens part and the words he just heard are the gateway to paradise. He stares at Leon, almost in the same disbelief you had been in minutes ago.
âYouâre cool with that?â he says, trying to seem casual.
âI wouldnât have offered if I wasnât,â he says and shrugs, âPlus, I think your rookie deserves a treat for her performance.â
âOf course she does. Sheâs probably feeling pretty needy by now too,â Chris says in return, beginning to feel more comfortable with the situation at hand.
âIâll even let you pick, man. You want her spread out on the bed or riding your face?â he asks.
You look between the both of them as they speak before stopping on Chris as he makes the decision.
âRiding my face. Want her to smother me,â the older man says as he looks down at you with his familiar smile.
Leon glances down at you too. âYou heard him, baby,â he says.
You return to your feet and approach the bed closer to the window. Chris discards his pants completely and removes his shirt before lying back. He pats his chest, signaling for you to climb up. As you move closer, so does your boyfriend. He rounds the bed and sits on the other side of the mattress to watch the pair of you.
You crawl over Chrisâs muscular body, looking down at him for a moment when your faces are level. You then scoot up more so youâre basically sitting on his chest. You werenât shy about sitting on someoneâs face necessarily. Youâd done it for Leon about a dozen times before, but Chris was new and you didnât know how he liked to do it. From the way he guided your hips higher up though, you could already tell he was a little more gentle than your boyfriend.
He pulls you up until your pussy is hovering over his face. Then he takes a few moments to just admire it. It was cute just like every other part of you. One of his fingers drags over your flesh and pulls on the puffy folds, showing off your pretty little clit and slick entrance.
âDonât hold back for me, rookie. I want to taste all of you,â he says as he looks up at you.
You return his look and nod before he pulls you lower by your hips onto his face. A squeak flies from your lips when his tongue makes contact with your cunt. Leon chuckles as he watches the two of you with lustful eyes. Heâs working on undressing himself now.
Chrisâs tongue takes a long swipe from the bottom to the top of your pussy, taking in as much of you as he can. Right now youâre all he can smell. Every breath brings him more of you. Your taste overwhelms him too. Itâs the way he wants to live. You whine as his lips engulf your clit to suck on.
âAlready making such pretty noises,â Leon teases, âIs Chris doing it how you like, sweet girl?â
You nod, your eyes connecting with those of your boyfriendâs for a moment. He kneels on the bed to be closer to you. His hand comes up to stroke your cheek.
âGood. You deserve it, baby. Just look at you. So precious. No wonder heâs crazy about you too,â Leon murmurs as he leans in and kisses you deeply.
His lips move with yours as you moan into his mouth. You begin rocking your hips back and forth on Chrisâs face to get more of the stimulation heâs providing you with. His tongue flattens over your cunt and presses against it in stripes, making broad strokes that spark euphoria in your belly each time. His hands lock onto your hips to keep you still enough that youâre not interrupting his devouring of you.
The constant pleasure to your core makes you lightheaded. You would be swaying if not for the two menâs combined efforts to keep you up right. Your kisses become sloppier, and to alleviate it, Leon ducks down to kiss your neck instead. He peppers your skin with hickeys, his possessive nature shining through a bit.
âMy pretty girl, doing so good for us right now. Taking it like a pro,â he whispers teasingly as his hands cup your breasts and give them a tender squeeze.
His lips travel down to where his hands are. He plants a few kisses on the swell of your chest. The sight of your nipples perking up for him would never get old.
âSweet baby, everything about you is perfect. Donât know how Chris resisted and never got a taste,â he says as he sucks one of your nipples into his mouth.
Your head falls back and you shudder. Two mouths on you, both licking and sucking in harmony. It made you moan loud enough that you wouldâve certainly got a noise complaint if any of the other rooms were occupied.
âIs that for me or Chris, babydoll?â Leon asks and smirks up at you.
âBoth,â you whimper, âBoth of you are making me feel so good.â
âNot picking favorites, hm?â he goads you further.
âCanât think enough to pick one right now,â you say simply before another whine leaves you. You didnât want any more drama. At least not before you came.
âOh, is your head getting all foggy, baby?â he coos.
âMhm,â you whimper and nod.
On your lower half, Chris keeps his mouth firmly attached to your pussy. Heâs pretty sure you already have him addicted, and you havenât even cum yet. Heâs licking with all the dedication in the world as if this task was his lifeâs purpose, the action he was put on this very earth to complete.
âTastes so fucking good,â he grunts into you as he continues open mouth kissing your cunt, âPrettiest little pussy Iâve ever seen.â
Leon smiles at the compliment, almost as if it was partially intended for him by virtue of being your boyfriend.
âSheâs loving you, Chris. Youâve got her brain melting out her ears,â Leon purrs while rubbing your back soothingly, steadying you from the tremors that rack your body, âPretty babyâs probably gonna cum all over your face soon.
When he hears that, the man below you pulls your hips down even harder and locks you onto his mouth. He works even harder to please you, relishing in the way your noises grow louder and more strained.
You give Leon puppy eyes as your hand darts out for his. Your fingers squeeze his palm so tight, heâs sure there will be little red crescents on the skin when you let go.
âWhat is it, sweetheart? You need to hold my hand?â he croons. He gently squeezes your hand back and moves his face to your neck to press a few more kisses there. âIâve got you, baby. You cum whenever you want, Iâm not gonna let go. Show Chris how pretty you are when you cum.â
Your teeth dig into your lip and your hips quiver violently.
âFuck Leon- I just- I- Chris,â you stutter out. Your brain rushes to latch onto something, but it canât seem to get a lock on anything.
âDonât gotta say anything, angel. Just cum all over my face,â Chris commands from between your thighs.
âYou heard him, baby. No thinking. Just let yourself feel good. Thatâs what we both wanna see,â he whispers and brings your hand to his lips.
Your lips part to say something, but you decide to just listen. You grind your hips down against Chrisâs mouth, gasping as the euphoria paramounts within you. Your hips roll even faster as you feel release within your grasp. Youâre closing in on it when you shriek and nearly double over with the shattering feeling of your peak.
âThere we go, thatâs it,â Leon chuckles softly, âShow him what I get to see every night. My favorite sight in the whole world.â
Your body moves as if itâs possessed when you cum. Your back arches into a curve with supernatural speed. Your eyes are screwed shut while your mouth is wide open. The younger man next to you grins while the older man below you continues to make out with your pussy, lapping up every drop of you that he could.
When you start to come down, he lets up, knowing Leon had more in store from you. He lets your hips go, and you basically topple over onto the mattress. You inhale and exhale deeply as the cool motel sheets rest against your cheek.
Chrisâs eyes are hooded from lust, the effects of the most erotic experience in his life lingering. His cock is fully hard, standing up and aching for more of your touch. Yet in a way heâs satisfied, having just made you cum, tasted the sweetest part of you, and heard your most vulnerable sounds.
Leonâs undressed on the bed, the only one of the three of you whose mind didnât feel hazy with clouds of desire. He tugs on his stiff cock a few times as he decides what to do. His eyes flit between your crumpled up form and the other man lying on his back.
âChris, you wanna hold her for a little bit? Have her sit in your lap?â he asks.
The older man almost felt pathetic at how eager he was to play along and say yes. Almost. Because he still does that. He nods and sits up, leaning back against the headboard.
The next move is getting you up. Your boyfriend guides you to where Chris is, and he then helps you into his lap. Your mind was coming back to normal, and you were looking up at Leon with adoration while you melted against Chrisâs broad chest. You nuzzle it gently, feeling its warmth and plush quality. His thick arms encase you, making sure you feel secure.
Leon pulls you on your hips to get you a bit lower where he has easier access.
âIâm not gonna let you fuck her this time. I wanna show you how itâs done first,â Leon teases as he slots himself between your legs.
In any other instance, this wouldâve pissed Chris off. Everything about it wouldâve left him disappointed and annoyed. But now any negative emotion is overshadowed by two words.
This time.
Because this time implies there will be a next time. And maybe even a time after next time. Another time for him to feel his cock inside you. Another time for him to make you cum on his fingers or watch you ride him. Some of his hopes spring back to life.
Internally, his heart is soaring. He kisses your hairline carefully as Leon slides his tip between your folds that are sticky with arousal. He teases himself with the feeling only a few times before nudging the tip inside.
Your head falls back against Chrisâs chest and you moan. He kisses your temple and caresses your sides as if you need to be soothed. As if this isnât the dick youâve been taking nightly for the last few months.
Chrisâs own length is rock solid against your back. Every small change in your facial expression or rise in pitch of your voice sends blood rushing to it, the threat of cumming untouched ever present.
Leon steadily pushes in until heâs buried all the way inside and youâre nice and filled to the hilt.
âSo fucking tight. You gotta feel it, Chris. You thought she tasted good? Just wait till you feel her,â he grunts.
âI bet. I could tell from how cute her pussy was. She was clenching around nothing the whole time. Iâm sure she loves to squeeze down anytime sheâs got a cock in her,â Chris whispers
More hope was rising in him that this wouldnât be a one night only thing, and it took all his strength not to smile like an idiot. His knuckles move down your cheek lovingly as he speaks to you and holds you while Leon thrusts. Your body rocks gently with the momentum, pushing you against Chrisâs cock each time.
âShe does love to get all tight. Just wants to suck me in so I can never leave,â Leon says and holds your thighs to start thrusting harder.
âSuch a needy girl. I shouldâve known, rookie,â Chris murmurs to you.
âIt just feels so good,â you whine, âItâs not my fault.â
âOh I know itâs not, precious,â Leon mocks, âYour head is always full of nothing but air when Iâm around. It probably just gets worse with Chris here.â
You whine in protest and squirm a little, unknowingly grinding your ass on Chrisâs cock and coaxing a moan from him. Leonâs dick hits deeper too, bringing you heightened pleasure.
âYouâre not an airhead, baby. Youâre a sweet girl. My rookie. You just wanna feel good, hm?â Chris says teasingly.
You nod along, and from the look on his face, Leon is amused, pleased with the dynamic Chris opened up.
âNo one said she isnât sweet. Just that she goes a little dumb as soon as sheâs got my dick in her,â he teases.
He sighs and his eyes roll back for a moment as you clamp around you. He keeps rocking in and out, enjoying the wet sounds coming from each one of his movements. He also canât get enough of your mewls or the way you're clutching one of Chrisâs forearms right now.
âMaybe heâs right about that. You just work so hard all the time. You need something that can calm you down,â Chris says and squeezes his arms around you, âYouâre still so precious.â
You look up at Chris with lovey dovey eyes, remembering why youâd been so enamored with him in the first place. He talked to you like you were the sweetest thing to walk this earth and made you believe it. He made you feel cared for in a way that was indescribable. Pure feeling.
âYeah you are,â Leon grunts, âAnd you can go as dumb as you want right now, baby. Weâre both here taking care of you. Iâm sure Chris loves holding you while all you can do is whine for more.â
âThatâs right. I love seeing you like this, knowing youâre taken care of,â he whispers, âAnd you know Iâve always got you. Iâll never let my rookie go.â
All the words are overwhelming. You pant and writhe more in Chrisâs grasp.
âYou getting close again, babydoll?â Leon asks, knowing your tells.
You whimper and nod quickly.
âGood. I am too,â he grunts.
He starts working himself into you harder. The momentum from each snap of his hips keeps you rubbing against Chrisâs shaft and working him closer to the edge as well. All three of you are panting, muscles tensing up in some way as the end approaches.Â
You stare into Leonâs eyes for a moment before rotating your head and looking up at Chris. Both sets of eyes are fixated on you. The overflow of attention is the final strike your body needs to start convulsing with release. The older manâs arms tighten around you, keeping you close as your skin heats up and your noises grow whinier. Your boyfriend keeps a steel grip on your hips, his fingers stroking back and forth.
âThatâs my girl,â Leon grunts, âLet it out, baby.â
He moans and lets his head fall back as he feels himself hurtling towards the finish line.
âMy rookie. Just perfect, honey,â Chris whispers, âIâm so proud of you.â
The words nearly triple your pleasure and you continue to ride out the high as Leon finally cums and shoots it inside you. He nearly growls as he pounds into you, completely emptying himself. All the rutting is enough for Chris to cum too. He spurts his hot seed against the small of your back, holding onto you with all he has as his hips jerk upwards and he imagines itâs him buried inside you.
Leonâs the first to get his bearings back. He pulls out slowly, letting you adjust to the feeling of emptiness. He then rolls to the side of you and Chris, watching the final moments with the other man. You lie on his chest with your eyes drooping, your chest heaving as you catch your breath. His hand lazily runs down your side. He savors your warmth on his chest. Almost subconsciously, it feels like you really are his in this moment.
That is until you regain your composure and sit up. You hop up for a moment to clean off the mess on your back. He knew youâd have to, but the sight still makes Chrisâs heart ache.Â
As you return to the bed, you give your boyfriend a dizzy smile and crawl over to curl up at his side. He rubs your back and pecks your forehead. For the two of you, itâs like a regular night. Chris isnât sure where he fits in this anymore. Should he just move to the bed you two had claimed earlier? Should he make the two of you get up?
Heâs running through solutions in his mind when your hand comes out and grabs his wrist. Youâre looking up at him with some sort of longing in your eyes.
âStay with us,â you say.
It was softer than he ever heard from you, different from when you introduced yourself on your first day of work or made a mistake on a mission. It was a new kind of shyness that just made him want more from you. He stares at you and contemplates the idea. Leon raises his eyebrows and gives him a look, giving him the silent ok he needed to slowly lower himself to the mattress.Â
He shuts off the light first, leaving the motel room in darkness except for the glow of the yellow street lamps shining through the window. His head hits the pillow, and he drapes an arm over you. Youâre still leaning into Leon for the most part which he makes no move to interfere with.
The three of you donât say anything for the rest of the night. Silence permeates the atmosphere of your shared space. The events of the last hour run through each of your minds in different ways. The mission had taken a back seat for now. It could return to prominence tomorrow once the mental dust had settled.
Leonâs eyes flutter shut first, and his deep, even breaths of sleep follow. Youâre barely awake with your cheek squished against his pectoral muscle. Chris watches you, the outline of your face illuminated from the faint light outside. He wonders if this really will be the only time with you. If his taste of heaven will remain that, a sample of what he could have had. He chooses to not believe that and drive himself crazy.
He shuts his eyes too and brings his face to nestle against the crook of your neck. His breath hits your neck when he sighs. In the abyss that is the motel room, he feels your hands come up to rest on his arm.

The Protege and The Apprentice
Fandom: Marvel
Pairing: Joaquin Torres x F!Reader
Summary: When heâs not busy with politics, Bucky helps train you, a former Flagsmasher that took the super serum. Inevitably, your paths cross with Sam Wilson and his own trainee, Joaquin. And it seems Joaquin has taken an immediate liking to you.
Your newfound strength was an incredible yet dangerous thing. After everything that went down with Karli, you surrendered to Sam and Bucky. He visited you at The Raft and after talking, he saw some potential in you.
Fast forward, you're on probation, now under the watchful eye and apprenticeship of Bucky Barnes. When he's not dealing with the political climate of the country, he trains you. Helping you hone in on your newfound strength and how to better control it.
Currently, he's helping you with sparring.
You fall onto your back with a resounding thud against the mats. You groan as Bucky stares down at you with amusement.
"It's one thing to have strength, it's another thing to know how to use it." Bucky stretches out his metal hand and you take it.
"I know, I know," you grumble as you come to a stand.
You roll your shoulders and neck, loosening out your limbs. You then get into a fighter stance, "Okay. I'm ready."
Bucky looks at you with raised brows, "We can take a break."
You shake your head, "Nope. I'm good. Let's go."
He then gets into a stance that mirrors yours, "Alright then. Let's do this."
He strikes first, throwing his metal fist towards you, which you dodge. You throw your own punch and Bucky catches it in his fist. With your other free hand, you punch his side.
You grin at the victorious hit, but it didn't last long because Bucky took a shot at you as well.
"Don't get cocky," he retorts with a smirk.
You two continue to skirmish, completely unaware of the new pair that walked into the training room.
______________________________
Joaquin follows Sam into the training room. He hears some grunts and looks over Sam's shoulder to see Bucky sparring with someone.
"Who's that?" he watches in fascination. You move swiftly, dodging hits. You're still a little sloppy, but it seems like you have an idea of what you're doing.
"Y/N, she was one of the Flagsmashers. She surrendered herself to us and after discussing, they let her serve her probation under Bucky's care and guidance."
"She have any fighting experience before the serum?"
Sam answers with a shake of his head, "None, but she's a quick learner." Both men continue to observe while you and Bucky spar.
Eventually, you manage to take Bucky down, his cheek pressed against the mat and your knee on his neck.
He taps the mat and you let go. You're giddy on your feet as the super soldier rolls onto his back and sits up, "You've improved a lot," he holds his hand out and you help him to his feet.
"Thanks!"
Sam takes this moment to step forward, "That was quite a show, Y/N," he says with a smirk.
You shrug, "The old man puts up quite the fight," you then notice the younger man behind Sam, "Hi. I'm Y/N," you hold your hand out.
"Joaquin," he takes your hand in his, "That was quite some-ah!" His words are interrupted as he's thrown onto the mat.
Bucky and Sam cackle in amusement.
You sheepishly stare down at him, "Sorry. I was told to do that when you came in." Joaquin practically flies to his feet as he's pulled up with your super strength.
He clears his throat, "Yeah, no. That's-I'm good. I'm fine. I can get behind a little prank every now and then," he dusts off his clothes.
You chuckle, "Hey, when Captain America gives you an order, you kinda have to obey it," you give a shrug.
"Yeah, I hear ya," he nervously scratches the back of your head, "So, um, you-you fight pretty good."
"Thanks. This is, well," you clench your fists and look at them, "it's still so new to me. I need to keep remembering how strong I am so I don't hurt anyone."
"Understandable, but it seems like you learn quick. Is it okay if I give you a few pointers?"
"Sure!" You follow Joaquin into the middle of the mat and listen intently.
Meanwhile, Bucky and Sam stand off to the side.
Sam chuckles, leans in and whispers to Bucky "The kid's got a crush."
Bucky's brows furrow, "On who?" he asks as he still keeps his eyes on you and Joaquin.
He rolls his eyes, "Y/N, clearly. Open your eyes, man!" He gestures to the both of you and Joaquin blushes when you look at him.
Bucky watches the two of you intently and his eyes narrow, "Absolutely not." He steps forward to interject, but Sam holds him back.
"Woah, woah, why not?" Sam looks at his friend confused.
"Y/N is here to improve herself and understand her strength, not go on dates with guys like Joaquin." Bucky now glares at the young man with you.
Sam sighs and shakes his head, pulling Bucky back, "Buck, I know you're protective of Y/N, but Joaquin's a good guy. You know he won't hurt Y/N."
The corner of Bucky's lips twitch upward, "Honestly, she's more likely to hurt him."
Sam rolls his eyes, "Sure, but listen, this could be good for the both of them. Don't go all scary big brother on the guy."
Bucky crosses his arms over his chest, going back to observing you and Joaquin, "Okay...but what if I threaten to demote him if he hurts her instead?"
"...that'd be an abuse of your power, Buck."
Bucky scoffs, "Other politicians have done much worse than that."
________________________________
After that first meeting with Joaquin, you've been seeing him a lot more, to Bucky's dismay.
You two exchanged numbers and would text all the time, sending each other funny memes and videos you found.
He'd find ways to visit you at Bucky's home, train with you at the compound. He's also managed to bring you out on supervised trips around the city.
You really like Joaquin. He was a breath of fresh air after everything you've gone through with Karli, the Flag Smashers, and being held on the Raft.
Joaquin saw you as a person, not as some monster or criminal. It felt...nice.
You found yourself falling for Captain America's Falcon apprentice quickly and it kind of scared you.
Did you really deserve someone as joyful and caring as Joaquin? Sure, you hurt people, but it was to help others. He's done the same thing right?
But what if you hurt him? Sometimes you have nightmares about you accidentally hurting Bucky or Sam because of your strength and it scared you.
You couldn't hurt Joaquin. You refused.
So you did the only logical thing to do: ghost him.
His calls and texts went unanswered. You asked Bucky to schedule your trainings earlier in the day or later in the night. Bucky wasn't sure why the sudden change, but he was happy to oblige when his own schedule allowed it.
But then Joaquin came up to him one day and asked if you were okay, then Bucky understood what was going on.
_____________________________
After some meetings, Bucky came home to find you lounging in the living room, scrolling through your phone (that was being monitored, of course).
"So your phone works," he states as he places a bag of takeout on the coffee table.
You sit up, digging through the bag, "Of course it does," you look at him confused as you stuff some fries in your mouth.
"'Cause Joaquin said you're not answering any of his texts or calls. He thought I confiscated your phone or something."
You shoulders sag, "Oh, um, yeah I'm not talking to him anymore."
"That so?" Bucky should be jumping for joy right now, but he can't seem to since he's taking in your downtrodden look, "Did something happen?"
You shrug, "Just don't think we really click," you avoid looking at him, finding more interest in the food he brought home. Anxiety creeping into you, making your heart rate increase.
Sensing your nervousness, Bucky lays off, but puts a reassuring hand on your shoulder, "You can talk to me, you know that right? I know we got off to a rocky start, but I care about you, Y/N. You're my friend and if anything is bothering you, you can talk to me. I may not give the best advice, but I'll listen."
You slump back into the couch and hide behind your hands as you say, "I like Joaquin and he likes me back."
"...isn't that a good thing?"
Your hands fall onto the couch, "Usually but, I don't know," you pick with your shirt, "Do you think I deserve to be with a guy like him? Someone so nice, passionate, caring? Shit, Bucky, I was ready to kill hundreds of people just for Karli's cause. I'm a bad person!"
Bucky immediately shakes your head, "No, you're not. You did bad things, but for the sake of helping others. That doesn't make you bad person."
He sighs, "Listen, I know a thing or two about thinking that you don't deserve good things because of your past. But it's not true. You do deserve good things, because you're putting in the work to make up for what you've done. I wouldn't have taken you on as my protege if I didn't see potential in you, if I didn't see good in you.
"And I may not have liked the idea of you and Joaquin before, but I've seen how happy he made you. Y/N, you've worked really hard all these months to better yourself and to prove that you're good. And you are. Like Joaquin, you're also compassionate, strong, and caring. If Joaquin makes you happy, then you should be with him."
You nod, "Thanks, Bucky," you give the man that became a big brother figure to you, a hug, "I'll-I'll talk to him. Not tonight but soon."
"Good. Now eat up," he pushes the food closer to you and you're happy to oblige.
_______________________
"I think Y/N hates me," Joaquin says as he jabs at the punching bag.
Sam pauses at his own bag, "What makes you say that?"
Joaquin continues to punch while he explains, "She hasn't replied back to any of my calls or texts. Bucky says she has her phone and it works just fine. She's ghosting me and I don't even know why."
"What happened the last time you saw her?"
Joaquin's cheeks suddenly heat up and he's hoping that he can blame his workout for the red appearing on his face, "I, um, I told her I like her and kissed her."
Sam's brows shot up, "Oh. Wow."
Joaquin lets his arms fall to his side with a sigh, "Did I fuck up?"
"Dunno. Did it seem like she liked you back?"
"I mean, yeah. She'd always be down to hang out with me, we're constantly talking. We've bantered and flirted here and there. Fuck, was I reading this all wrong?" his eyes widen in panic, "I fucked up, didn't I?"
Sam holds his hands out, "Hey, wait. That might not be the case. I've seen you two together and it seemed like she liked you, but also who knows. She's been through a lot. Maybe she's not ready for all of that yet. She might be scared."
"Shit," Joaquin groans, "I fucked up big time. What should I do? I mean, she won't even answer me and she's switched her schedule so I don't see her around anymore."
"Just give her some time. She might be trying to figure out how to navigate all of this. A lot has been going on."
Joaquin gulps down the urge to finding more solutions, but he, instead, follows his mentor's advice. He'll give you time and, hopefully, all answers will be given to him soon.
_________________________
Saying you were nervous was an understatement. Honestly, you didn't even know a word to describe how you were feeling right now. All you knew was that you wanted to throw up, your heart was probably ready to beat out of your chest, and that you want to run for the hills.
But you're not going to do that. Nope.
You deserve good things. You deserve happiness....You deserve Joaquin.
You kept repeating those three sentences in your head while you head to the floor where Sam and Joaquin made their headquarters.
The elevator stops and opens the door. A part of you wants to turn around and head right back down, but the other part of you makes your legs walk out and towards the common area of the floor.
Sam is on the couch looking over paperwork and Joaquin's at his desk.
You clear your throat and both men whip their heads to you.
"Y/N," Joaquin abruptly stands.
Sam looks at Joaquin, then you, then back at Joaquin. He closes his file and stands, "I'm gonna grab a drink in the kitchen. You guys want anything?"
"I'm good. Thanks, Sam," you give him a nod as he walks out.
Joaquin slowly walks towards you, "Um, hi. What's up?"
You're nervously wringing your hands together, "I wanted to apologize for ghosting you this week."
"I-"
"Please don't make excuses for me. I'm an adult, I shouldn't have done that. I should've talked things out with you instead of just ghosting." You pause to let out a deep breath, "When you told me that you like me and you kissed me, I-I got scared. Not because of you but because of me. I'm-I don't think I'm good enough for you, Joaquin. You're everything I'm not.
"And I like you, Joaquin. I really, really do. You make me feel normal again but it's just...yeah."
Joaquin takes your hands in his, "Y/N, you are good enough for me. You being here proves that. You want to make a difference, a good difference, with your new powers. You coming here to apologize and talk things out shows how good you are."
"I wanna try things out with you, Joaquin, if you'd still like that too."
"I do, but we'll go at your pace. Anything that makes you uncomfortable or makes you think we're going to fast, bring it up to me. I'll slow down. Don't want you running for the hills again." he grabs you by the waist and pulls you closer.
You can't help but laugh in embarrassment, hiding your face in his chest, "I'll be more communicative. I promise."
He then lifts your chin so you can look at him, "Can I kiss you?"
You nod, leaning in until Joaquin's lips press to yours. You smile into the kiss because you know you deserve this. You deserve good things. You deserve Joaquin.

Knots of Yearning

Spencer Reid x BAU!Fem!Reader
Summary: Spencer lies by omission or in which Spencer acts like he doesnât know how to tie a tie just to get you to do it for him Trope: Yearning/Angst; think season 1 Spencer Reid w.c: 1.3k a/n: when i thought of this idea, i was thinking it would be some cute light hearted fluff but when i started writing it, it became angst, filled with pining and tension so I dunno what happened but i finished writing it and thought it would be a waste not to post my rambly written fic. I might write a part 2 for this just to close it out to a happy ending. Let me know if that would interest you. Comments and reblogs are greatly appreciated! đ

Two halves of a whole, the perfect pairing and yin & yang. Those were just some monikers that Spencer Reid had heard describing his partnership with you that started during the academy. He, being a genius in all things academic and psychological but severely lacking in the physical and combat department. You, on the other hand, filled those gapsâacing all physicals and being well known for being a shy but killer shot. Not to say you were lacking in the other categories, no, you came only second during written exams.Â
So it came as a no surprise when graduation came and you both were cherry picked to join the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Spencer being chosen by SSA Jason Gideon and you being selected by Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner.Â
The two geniuses of the BAU and the apprentices were added to the roster of nicknames.
Ever since then, he had traded in his standard issued trainee uniform to a button down and a matching tieâa tie that he badly struggles with or so Spencer made you believe. He didnât mean to lie at firstâdidnât mean it to go this far but by the time he felt the need to tell the truth, it had been too late. Each moment youâve spent close to his space, invading it really, had become the highlight of his days and fuel for his nights.Â
He often wondered if you catalogued his reaction just like how he did yours. Did you notice his staccato breathing just like how he noticed your subtle inhalation of his perfume? What about the reddening of his cheeks and neck in contrast to your trembling fingers? Or how about his eyes that convey his utter devotion as yours focus on any exposed skin in between his tie and collar?Â
It seemed like a dance between him and you, to see how the other reacts and to figure out who would cave under the mounting attraction that had been building since the first âhello.âÂ
With his choice of tie for the day hanging loosely on his neck, you would shyly smile and as if spellbound, he would shuffle to your orbit in silent plea for help that he needed.
Each glide of your finger made his encompassing thoughts about the mundane stutter into a halt. How his mind would then bombard itself with questions as to how the universe created such perfection. Each loop of your hand became vivid imagery of his own nimble fingers caressing your palm and all its engraved lines as if they contain the maps to all hidden mysteries of the world. And each tug to secure the knot transformed into a loud beating of his chest, encased within itâs cavity, with chants of waxing prose on how your very being, mind, body, and soul, call to his in a way that even his expansive vernacular could never explain.Â
But no matter how much he wished for time to slow down for these intimate moments to last, it never did comply. So here he stayed, lying by omissionâyearning for you to notice him, memorize him, and end his pining for the woman who seemed too unattainable for his clumsy, stuttering self.
âââ
 You accepted the lie well. Maybe too well.
The first time a blue striped flimsy piece of accessory hung around his neck, a sudden burst of courage took over, bringing you to a stop in front of his lithe, towering body and hands reaching up to whisper caresses on the silk to mold it into a secure neck tie that centered itself on his reddening neckâthe color matching the one that bloomed on your cheeks as you realized what youâve done.Â
Your mind had rationalized someone as smart as he knew how to fix a tie but your body had moved on itâs own, having have spotted a once in a lifetime chance to invade his well protected spaceâthe same way he had invaded your mind in every waking and sleeping moment.
That same chance turned into a routine. A blessing that you had come to look forward to, your steps having a bounce in them as you enter the bull pen and spotting a different pattern tie hanging undone on his neck every work day.
You knew, with no backing evidence that Spencer has to be doing it on purpose but didnât want to spiral much into thought as to why he would leave that intimate action up to you.
Did he take note of every reaction you had to his presence the same way you did? The slight rocking on your heels as he inhaled your carefully chosen perfume? The biting of your lip as you felt his honey dripping eyes on your face? If he felt the same, you wondered why nothing has been done and if you had another burst of courage, would you have acted upon the tension?Â
Maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe that was why you settled for accepting his poorly crafted lie of not knowing how to tie a necktie.Â
It wasnât really a lie if the other party knew the truth, right? Or was it a double lie now that silence has stacked between you and him?Â
If you were being slightly honest with yourself, Spencer Reid had always fascinated you. Among the sea of gym built muscles during the academy, his gazelle stature has stuck out like a sore thumb and that intrigued you. How was it that a male, younger than any of his peers, that looked like he could grace a runway was in an institution that reeked sweat and masculinity? That very same question answered when you found yourself seated beside him in a profiler career talk. His intellect, that was why and although it seemed to alienate the others, not once did you feel inferior beside him. Rather, it pulled you in more. His quiet, unsure demeanor was the next to capture your attention. It was an invisible coat that he wore everywhere he went, sewn from years of bullying and ostracizingâsimilar to your experiences of having skipped a grade. Here was a comrade you thought and so, you silently orbited around his gravitational pull until he took notice and uttered the words âhello, Iâm Dr. Spencer Reidâ in a low, trembling voice.Â
You didnât know when that same fascination turned into adoration. There was never a specific moment in time that you could pinpoint when it all changed. It just happened, one day you woke up and the past truth had transformed into a half truthâand the whole truth now being, you falling and yearning for a man who had a bright future in reading peopleâs actions but seemed too oblivious to the call of your aching heart.Â
âââ
Morgan and Elle shared an exasperated look as they noted the two youngest members of the team silently flirting in the middle of the bullpen, yet again. They didnât get how obtuse the two smartest people in the room were with their feelings for one another.Â
âYou think we should give them a push?â He whispered to his female partner.
Elle scrunched her face. âAt this point, we might just have to confess for the other.â
And in that moment, another moniker was added to the roster. The dense lovers of the BAU, a nickname that the remaining members use only behind both the duoâs back as they become bystanders to what could be a match made in heaven. If only one would admit to the other.Â

Comments and reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Dr kry x nurse reader
Like imagine nurse reader was college student wanted to be a nurse to learn some medicine or help people sick and taking care old people
Sea sick



Doctor!yandere OC x nurse!reader
Summary: being the only one to be granted as Dr Kryâs apprentice on board a hospital ship ends in tragedy
Warning: yandere, sinking ships (fictional ship and incident), poisoning, indirect killing, mentions of dead bodies and autopsies, blood, sharp objects
Word count: 8k
A/N: a lot of people hav wanted a story where darling is a nurse and I have tried writing it so many times over a year, but haven't been able yo. So I tried changing location and it seemed to work, so it is not exactly what was asked, but I hope that it is enjoyable anyway!


He stands on the promenade deck, watching out over the harbor, breathing in the fresh air. People carried on stretchers catch his eyes.Â
He used to get sea sick during his first weeks out at sea. There was something about how the ship rocked back and forth during the stormy days that made his stomach turn inside out and want to eject the food he had eaten. But now that he's been here for three months, it's barely noticeable. He hasn't thrown up for three weeks. A new record.Â
He has grown to like the rocking motion of the sea, but doesnât care much for the people he shares the ship with. The female nurses try to invite him into their cabins, the male nurses fight over who will be his apprentice and the doctors either watch him with jealousy or ignore him. Itâs only for a few more months, until he has saved up enough money. Until everything is over.Â
Theyâve just picked up a town hall full amount of wounded soldiers and new nurses. Doctor Kry has heard that his new trainee will be among them. He scans the crowd of people walking towards the gangway, trying to guess which one will be his to deal with. He hopes that they are obedient â he has no interest in scolding them â and that they arenât stupid.Â
âWatching the fresh blood?â a voice asks.Â
He turns to the side to see one of the other doctors coming out to look at the new herd. Doctor Hart is an asshole, always in everyoneâs business. One could almost think that he was getting paid for it.Â
âYou could say thatâ, Doctor Kry replies shortly.Â
âHow many dead, do you think?â
Doctor Kry let his eyes wander over the crowd below.Â
âFifty, maybeâ, he says.Â
Itâs a cruel game, he knows that, to guess how many wonât survive the trip to the mainland. But he doesnât know how to converse with the other doctors unless he joins in on their sad games.Â
Sometimes, he plays with the nurses out on deck. Thereâs all sorts of games tucked away in boxes, ready to be taken out whenever.
âI heard that your trainee will be among thoseâ, Doctor Hart says and nods down at the group of waiting people. âWhoâs the lucky one?â
âI donât knowâ, Doctor Kry replies shortly and stops leaning on the railing. âI should go find out.â
He doesnât wait to hear the reply. Heâs not sure where to go for his trainee to find him, but he decides to go to his cabin â if not to be at a static place, then to get away from everyone. Him getting a trainee must be the only hot topic they have.Â
He navigates the white naked steel corridors to get to his cabin. Itâs hard to believe that this naked ship should be covered with polished oak panels, golden details and expensive paintings. None of that can be afforded to be lost, in case the ship is sunk.Â
They have lifeboat drills every morning to make sure that everyone on board knows what to do. Since they rotate staff often, those drills need to be done. Theyâre boring, but handy.Â
The ship is nothing more than an empty shell of what sheâs supposed to be, stripped of anything that gives her personality. All thatâs left is bare necessities, nothing for pleasure.
He opens his door and walks in. The room is small and only contains a bed and a desk, the walls bare steel. It has a rectangular window overlooking the forecastle and he canât help but think that he has gotten one of the best cabins on the ship. He knows that doctors, officers â both military and ship â and a handful of passengers, get better cabins than the wounded or nurses.Â
Doctor Kry sits down by the table and opens his notebook to write. He has time to finish two pages before there is a knock on the door. Itâs a drastic knock, as if the person on the other side of the door is either nervous or eagerly excited. He stands up, not knowing what to expect as he opens the door. Outside stands a young thing, with their hands clasped in front of them. You take him by surprise. Youâre not what he expected â but then again, what had he been expecting?
âAre you Doctor Kry?â you ask.Â
âYes, I amâ, he replies.Â
âIâm told that I am your apprentice.â
He lets his eyes wander over you. You seem so ⌠small? Youâre younger than he had thought, and thereâs something naive about you. He canât help but wonder what events has led you to end up here.Â
He realizes that he canât have you standing out in the corridor forever and steps aside, gesturing for you to come in. You walk past him into the small room and look around.Â
âYou have a better cabin than I doâ, you say with a small â nervous â laugh, as if to bring some kind of humanity into the conversation. Itâs as if you want to skip right past the awkward small talk. You grimace. âI have to share a cabin with five others. We only have a small porthole.â
Doctor Kry closes the door.Â
âWhatâs your name?â he asks.Â
âOh, sorryâ, you reply quickly, eyes widening with realization. âY/N.â
Doctor Kry canât help but tug at the corner of his lips.Â
âAre you always this light-headed, Y/N?â he asks.
You look down in embarrassment.Â
âNo, doctorâ, you say. âI am just nervous. I havenât done anything like this before. Sorry, doctor.â
âSit down.â
You look around for somewhere to sit and end up on his neatly fixed bed. Doctor Kry sits down on his chair by his desk. You fiddle with your hands in your lap as your eyes follow him.Â
âYouâre going to be my trainee, which means that you have to listen to me at all timesâ, Doctor Kry says. âThe medical field is a profession that requires precision. One faulty move and someone could die. Is that clear?â
âYes, doctor.â
âIâm responsible for you, so I donât want you doing anything stupid, do you get that? No breaking rules, no stupid behavior.â
âYes, doctor.â
He stretches his neck.Â
âThis doesnât have to do with you but I will tell you this anyway, in case it should occurâ, he says stiffly. âIf any of the other nurses give you any trouble, youâll come tell me right away, understood?â
âYes doctorâ, you reply.Â
âGood. In that case, let's get started. A lot of people have boarded the ship today, and we need to check up on them. You might have thought that youâd get a day to settle in, but thatâs not how we do things here. On board, things can happen at any hour of the day and you need to be prepared.â
You nod.Â
âGoodâ, he says, pleased. âLetâs go then, we have work to do.â
When he stands, so do you. He walks towards the door and so do you. You follow him through the corridors like a puppy, in silence. You donât say anything. Maybe this will work for him after all?
You come out to the main staircase, a pathetic excuse of what it should be, and walk up a flight of stairs. What should be the lounge is now an operating theater and bedroom to wounded soldiers. He can hear you draw a breath as you walk in. The smell must hit you, he guesses, the smell of pain and blood.Â
You follow him around the open room as he talks to different men and women who have all kinds of painful injuries and sickness symptoms. Youâre quiet behind him. When heâs done with his round, he takes you out onto the promenade to get you some fresh air. You hold onto the wooden railing.Â
âThat can be unpleasantâ, he says, leaning onto the railing beside you with his elbows. âEspecially if it is one's first time. Youâll get used to it.â
âI wasnât sure what I was supposed to expectâ, you reply. âI knew that it would be ⌠bad ⌠I just didnât know what type. Tomorrow will be better. Now I know what to expect.â
You give him a small smile. Donât give up on me yet, I will prove myself to you. You are weirdly cute.Â
âWhy are you here if you lack so much experience?â he asks.
âGood questionâ, you sigh. âMoney problems, I suppose. My family has it rough.â
âHow long will you be here?â
âA few months, until I've saved enough money.â
Doctor Kry nods. âSame here.â
âIs life on board tiresome?â you wonder. âWhat do you do out on sea?â
âSome play deck games, some write, draw or readâ, Doctor Kry says. âSome spend time with the wounded. Everyone comes up with different activities.â
âI would like to explore the ship, see what the home I will have for the coming months contains.â
âIf you want I can give you a tour.â
âReally? Thank you, I would love that.â
You follow the doctor inside again. He decides to start from the bottom of the beast and show you up to the very top.
The orlop deck is the one right above the boilers. The two of you shouldn't wander further below, in case of danger. The orlop deck contains a mailroom and the cargo hold. It's chilly inside the ominous cargo room. Wooden boxes stand in groups.
âThese contain everything from weapons to medical equipment to food and alcoholâ, Doctor Kry says and taps the top of a wooden box. âSome people â of the military staff, I've been told â sneak down here to steal some of it. I wouldn't advise you to explore down here. The ones you'll meet will most likely be drunk beyond measure and not trustable.â
âI understandâ, you say.
âThat being said, let's go upstairs.â
G-deck is filled with bunk beds, rows and rows of them. Walls that used to separate cabins have been demolished and left are the marks on the floors where they should stand. People are in bed, either sleeping or chatting with each other. Theyâre wearing bandage.
F-deck was the same as G-deck, filled with bunk beds and cabins.Â
E-deck has a pool with crystal clear water. Itâs a simple pool, only there for exercise. It used to have much more detailing, a childrenâs part of the pool and some childrenâs floating toys.Â
âIt would be nice to swim hereâ, you say. âAfter long hours of standing.â
âI think it is niceâ, Doctor Kry says. âI havenât used the pool yet. I think itâs seawater but, like I said, I havenât tried the pool yet.â
Before he has time to think, youâve crouched down, sunk your cupped hand into the water and taken a lick. Doctor Kry gasps and twitches forward.
âWhat are you doing?â he questions.Â
âIt is seawaterâ, you say.Â
He grabs your wrist, pulls you up on your feet and shakes your hands free of the water.
âThat is disgusting, do not do that againâ, he says sternly.
You laugh slightly, meeting his eyes. Doctor Kry shakes his head, but has to restrain himself to not smile.Â
âGet outâ, he says, nodding at the door.Â
You walk before him. Your youthful behavior is going to wear him down.Â
D-deck has more dim corridors than the others youâve explored. Doctor Kry stops in front of a steel door with his hand resting on the handle.Â
âThis room is the morgueâ, he says slowly. âI donât expect you to like this room, but I do expect you to treat it with respect. Donât do anything âfunâ here, like you did in the pool. Understood?â
You nod. Doctor Kry opens the door. A chilly wind blows through you. You hug yourself. The room is colder than the winds up on deck and you look at Doctor Kry to see if heâs also feeling the cold. Along the walls of the room are numbered hatches. You donât need him to explain what is inside them. Doctor Kry opens a door to the right, showing a small room with an operating table on it.Â
âHave you ever performed an autopsy?â you ask.Â
âMany timesâ, he responds and closes the door.Â
âDo they get ⌠easier every time?â
âEasier? I wouldnât say easier, but you learn to shut off your brain. Youâll learn that too while working here.â
He walks you out of the morgue. D-deck also contains even more wards.Â
C-deck has the first class dining saloon, now nothing more than a school cafeteria. The tables are simple, the chairs looking uncomfortable. A few men sit by a table eating. Doctor Kry is quick to get you out.Â
B-deck has more cabins and open wards, along with an enclosed promenade deck filled with beds, where patients can rest in fresh air. Thereâs nothing left of the verandah cafe, the suites have been emptied and the hairdresser doesnât have the equipment that it once had.Â
A-deck is the only deck on the ship left with some of her old personality. The lounge has some armchairs and couches and the smoking room still has the painted glass windows. You look at the painted mermaid on the window.Â
âItâs beautifulâ, you say.Â
âIt isâ, Doctor Kry says. âI think it has something to do with Greek mythology, but I havenât asked.â
The enclosed promenade deck the two of you had been on is on the same deck. Boat deck, on the other hand, has nothing enclosed. Nothing to shield anyone from wind or rain. Rows upon rows of lifeboats stand in their davits, collapsible ones are positioned on the roofs for easy access.Â
âOkay, I think youâve seen it allâ, Doctor Kry says and sighs. âNot much, as you can see. Majority of it have been removed in case anything would happen to the ship.â
âIs there a risk of something happening?â
âThe ship is painted white with a green line and big, red crosses. People know better than to sink a hospital ship.â
âBut at night you canât see what color the ship is painted.â
âI assure you that has been thought of. I will show you. Meet me at my cabin at sunset.â
âOkay.â
You knock at his door as the sun is resting on the horizon. Doctor Kry stands up from his chair a bit too quickly.
âGood eveningâ, you say. âIâm here.â
âSo you areâ, he replies and grabs his beige coat. âLetâs go, we can get dinner afterwards.â
You follow him out to the main staircase and up to the boat deck. The red shade above you is fading into dark blue skies. Wherever you look, nothing breaks it. You follow Doctor Kry to the stern where you have a good view of the ship. A strand of green light lights up the side of the ship, big spotlights turned to the red crosses. The green light gives your face a magical shade, one which makes the doctor stare at you when youâre not looking.Â
âYou can sleep soundlyâ, he says. âAs you can see, there are lights showing other ships what we are. Now, how about some food?â
âYes, please.â
The two of you walk back inside and make your way down to the dining hall. You donât say anything, but the way your hand travels the railing down the main staircase makes him smile.Â
You get a bowl of soup and a piece of bread. Doctor Kry leads you to a table full of doctors where he always sits. Not because he likes their company, but because he doesnât want to sit with the immature nurses.Â
âSo this is your apprentice?â Doctor Hart says, eyeing you.Â
âYesâ, Doctor Kry replies.Â
You sit down beside him.Â
âIâm Y/Nâ, you say, remembering how you had forgotten to introduce yourself to Kry earlier. â
âYou are a voluntary nurse, right?â a doctor asks.Â
âYes.â
âWhat training do you have?â
âThe absolute minimum, sir. I didn't have time to learn more before being sent here.â
âThatâs why theyâre my apprenticeâ, Doctor Kry says before anyone else has time to say something that could invalidate your lack of knowledge. âIâm supposed to train them.â
âYou have gotten an unfortunate fit, Y/Nâ, Doctor Hart says jokingly. âKry is a good doctor, but probably the most boring man I have ever come across.â
You frown, looking between him and your mentor.Â
âI wouldnât say thatâ, you say slowly.Â
Doctor Kry looks at you with a small smile before taking a bite of his sandwich.Â
âIf you ever get tired of this boring man, I could always use a traineeâ, Doctor Hart says with a small smirk.Â
The other doctors laugh. You give them a small, uncomfortable smile.
âLet them beâ, Doctor Kry says warningly. âYou don't have to be an ass to the newcomers.â
He turns away from them, looking at you.Â
âDonât listen to themâ, he whispers.
âOkayâ, you reply quietly and give him a thankful smile.
He spends the rest of the dinner conversing with you, completely ignoring the other doctors. He asks you about your family life, the members in it, what your favorite memory is. For the first time in months, he's had a purposeful conversation, one he won't forget the second he leaves the dining hall. You've only been here less than a day and yet you've managed to put color in this white steel beast.
âI shouldn't keep youâ, he says suddenly. âI suppose that you're tired. You should rest. I will see you tomorrow morning. Will you find your way to your cabin?â
âI think soâ, you smile. âThank you.â
âBe at my door at seven tomorrow morning.â
You nod. Doctor Kry gives you a small nod before walking away. His heart pounds in his chest, already looking forward to tomorrow morning.
Days go by. You spend every waking hour with your mentor, following him like a dog. You don't get why everyone else calls him strict, why some pity you for having him. And some pity themselves for not being picked. It's a weird feeling, you find, that everyone has a divided opinion of you and you have no idea who thinks what. All eyes on you, and none seem to be in your favor.
Doctor Kry is awoken by knocking on his door. Still in his drowsy state can he recognize the pattern. You have a unique sense of knocking. The darkness still covers the sky.
You're standing outside, wet to the bone, wearing your pajamas and a guilty look in your eyes.
âYou told me to tell you right awayâ, you say quickly. âI'm not sure if you meant that literally but ⌠I have nowhere else to go.â
Your voice dies out. Doctor Kry frowns, looking at your wet form up and down.
âWhat happened?â he asks suspiciously.
âThey locked me out.â
âWhat are you talking about? Who locked you out?â
âThe other nurses.â
What?
âWhy are you wet?â
âThey threw water on me and threw me out of the room. I-I guess that it was a joke but ⌠I didnât really ⌠find it funny âŚâ
He can tell that you're shivering, although you're trying your best not to show it. It makes him unexplainably furious. Â
âCome insideâ, he says and steps aside.
He's quick to grab his towel from his trunk and wrap it around you. You sit down on his chair.
âDid they say anything to you?â he asks.Â
âNot from what I heardâ, you reply quietly, shaking slightly. âEverything went on so quickly. I barely had time to wake up before I found myself in the corridor.â
âThey threw you?â Doctor Kry asks, trying to understand.Â
âGrabbed me by my arms and threw me out.â
âYou must have hit the opposite wall in the corridor.â
âItâs fine.â
He feels his heart tug. His poor little apprentice, getting thrown around like trash. He knew that the nurses were assholes, but he is appalled that none of them even tried to befriend you. He knows that itâs because of him. In some way shape or form, it always leads back to him. Itâs his responsibility to take care of you now. And, like hell, heâll do it.
âLetâs get you out of those wet clothes to start withâ, he says and removes the towel from around your body. âYouâll get sick if you keep them on any longer.â
He helps you remove them and dress you in his spare pajamas, offering you his bed.Â
âDonât go back to that roomâ, he says.Â
âWhy?â
âI feel like I am responsible for you and thatâs why I canât let you back there.â
âWhat do I do then?â
Itâs such a simple question, but it makes him feel even more determined to take care of you. Youâre asking him how to proceed. You trust him enough to let him decide what should happen to you. Itâs enough to make him hear his heart in his ears.Â
âYouâll stay here for the night, and I will decide what to do with you in the morningâ, he says and removes the cover of the bed. âWhy donât you go to bed while I get you a hot cup of tea?â
âOkay, thank you, doctorâ, you say quietly.Â
âOf course.â
He smiles as he walks out, but the second he closes the door he feels a pain in his heart. He has been with you for two weeks by now and every day has been a pleasure. He canât remember the last time heâs been this excited to work. Every meal, he spends it with you. He plays deck games with you on your breaks and play board games in the lounge at night. Youâre interesting to him without being annoying. Everyone else gets on his nerves, being too much, too loud, too clingy and too ⌠much. You, somehow, seem to be just perfect in every category. Itâs such a rare trait for him to find. He doesnât care that no one else understands it â on the contrary, he finds it great that he is the only one you spend your time with â but he hates that the others are childish enough to mess with you because of it.Â
Sea air must bring even the sanest people to madness.Â
The morgue flashes before his eyes and he stops right in his tracks. He wants to. Oh, how he wants to. But thereâs no way that he could play it off. On a secluded place like a ship, there was no place to hide a crime. Nowhere to flee if he did get caught. Heâll figure it out, though. They wonât go unpunished.Â
He gets the cup of tea and makes his way back to the cabin.
âDrink thisâ, he says and holds the cup to your lips. âThis should warm you up.â
He notices how youâre trying to take the cup from him, but he won't let you. Wants to feed you. You drink slowly.Â
âWhat do I do from now on?â you ask.Â
âWell, firstly, I will talk to your roommatesâ, the doctor says. âTomorrow morning. You can take my bed, I will sleep on the floor.â
âNo, I canât do that. Iâve troubled you enough, doctor.â
He doesnât answer. Instead, he tucks you in and opens his trunk to take out a shirt to use as a pillow.Â
âDoctor, pleaseâ, you say. âI can take the floor.â
âDonât be absurd. Enough of this, now go to sleep.â
Thereâs no use in fighting him, he will not budge. You try to lay as still as you can, but itâs hard to drift off to sleep. Youâre unaware that Kry is awake as well, having an even harder time getting some rest. The only thing he can think of is how angry he is at those nurses ⌠but also a particular happiness. They sent you his way. In an unofficial way they sent you right into his clutches.Â
The very next morning, he awakens to find you there, in his bed, sleeping peacefully. He stares at you. There is something so heavenly about you. Something alive, among all this death and suffering.Â
He changes into his uniform before walking through the ominous corridors of your room. His knock must have echoed in the room because he can hear a few surprised gasps.
He recognizes the tired face that opens.
âIf you don't mind, I'll grab Y/Nâs thingsâ, he says and, before waiting for a response, pushes past into the room, hitting their shoulder intentionally. âWhere are they?â
âUnder that bunk bed.â
He follows the pointed finger and grabs a brown bag.Â
âYou should be ashamed of yourselves, you knowâ, he says without changing his normal calm tone. âI thought nurses were supposed to be caring, but what do I know? I never spend time with them. And now I see that it was with good reason.â
âWhat makes you so special?â one of the nurses scoffs. âThere are a lot of doctors people would choose before you too.â
âI'm aware of that, and I'm very thankful for it. But you shouldn't forget that there is a hierarchy on board. I might not fall for your charms, but I can still get you downgraded to kitchen staff.â
He walks out. You're still sleeping when he returns to his cabin and he decides to go get you breakfast.
âWake upâ, he says and places the tray on the desk. âI've gotten you breakfast.â
âReally?â you ask and sit up. âThank you so much. And thank you for letting me stay here.â
He doesnât answer. Instead, he gives you a cup of coffee.Â
âI brought your thingsâ, he says. âI donât think that you should go back to that room at all. I will try to get you into another cabin.â
âOhâ, you say. âThank you.â
âYou say awfully many âthank youâs.â
âWell, you do awfully many nice things for me.â
He tries not to show how happy he gets, but his ears burn a crimson red. You get out of bed and walk over to your bag, looking around for something.Â
âI want to give you somethingâ, you say and hold your hands behind your back.Â
âWhat?â asks.Â
You take out a little porcelain dog, a spitting image of a Golden Retriever.Â
âI donât have muchâ, you say, âbut I really value this little thing. Take it.â
âNoâ, Doctor Kry says simply.Â
âI donât have anything else.â
âWhich is why I canât take it.â
âPlease?â
He looks at the little dog in your hands and the pleading look in your eyes. His hand reach out and take it in his hand, knowing that he wonât keep it. He will find a way to give it back to you at a later time. But he has to accept it for now so that you donât feel stupid.Â
He places it on his desk and gives you the cup of coffee again.Â
âWhat will we work with today?â you ask.Â
âWeâre picking up some new people.â
Everytime they pick up new people, heâs reminded of your limited time. One day, sooner than desired, you will walk off the gangway ⌠and someone will take your place. No. Never. He doesn't want anyone else other than you.
Among the newcomers, you find a child. The six year old boy seems to like running along the big ship's decks.Â
You and Kry observe him from the promenade boat above.
âWhy is there a child?â you ask. âIsnât it dangerous to let a little boy run around?â
âHis parents must either be military, a nurse or woundedâ, Doctor Kry replies.
You let go of the railing. Doctor Kry follows you with his eyes as you make your way down to the boy. You introduce yourself, take his little hand and ask him for his. Nicholas. You play with him. Doctor Kry canât look away. Youâre a natural with children. The little boy seems to have genuinely fun with you. Youâre running along the deck, back and forth. You pretend to have a hard time catching up with him, making Doctor Kry smile. Heâs not much for children. Theyâre loud, unpredictable and lack consequence-think. He hates all of it. But you seem to have a natural talent for it. The boy seem so comfortable with you. Itâs adorable.Â
âDoctor!â you shout.Â
âWhat?â he replies without raising his voice.Â
âCome down, letâs play something!âÂ
He sighs and lets go of the railing before making his way down to you and Nicholas.Â
âThis is doctor Kryâ, you tell the boy. âHe wonât bite you.â
âBite?â Doctor Kry scoffs. âSince when have I ever bitten someone?â
âThatâs what Iâm saying â you wonât bite him.â
âI never bite to begin with.â
âThatâs what Iâm saying, so what are you arguing about?â
âY/N- ⌠nevermind, Iâm getting nowhere.â
You laugh. He shakes his head disapprovingly, but his heart aches fondly. Youâre like an annoying fly buzzing around, but he doesnât want to kill you.Â
You play curling on the deck and you throw lamely to let the little boy win. He tries to match it, tries to follow your lead.Â
The image doesnât leave his brain for the rest of the day. The only thing he sees is you with the little boy.Â
âDoctor, be careful!â
He doesnât notice how heâs slipped with the scalpel and cut himself in the palm. With a hiss, he backs away from the man on the operating table. You grab his other arm and pulls him with you. His head is awfully cloudy. The only thing he sees in front of him is your smile when you played with the boy.Â
âSit hereâ, you say and place him down on a chair. âAre you okay?â
âYes ⌠yes, Iâm fineâ, he says and clears his throat.Â
You clean his hand and wrap it in bandage. Your touch makes him want to pass out. But it also makes him want to yell in frustration. How could he slip up that easily? He has never been distracted during an autopsy and suddenly seeing you with a child puts him out of balance enough for him to slip the knife?
âYou need to be carefulâ, you tell him.
âI knowâ, he sighs, rolling his eyes. âI donât enjoy hurting myself.â
âI didnât mean that, I know youâre careful, I just-â
He realizes that heâs made a mistake.Â
âI knowâ, he says, cutting you of before sighing heavily and continuing in defeat. âI didnât mean to sound mad. Iâm not angry with you.â
He could never be. If anything, heâs furious at himself.Â
âItâs okayâ, you say gently.Â
You let go of his bandaged hand.Â
âIt should be okay nowâ, you say. âBut I donât think that you should go back.â
âI wonâtâ, he says. âThey need a steady hand and clearly my isnât.â
âDonât be hard on yourself, doctor. It happens to the best of us.â
He sighs and stands up, keeping his eyes on a point above your head.Â
âLetâs go outâ, he says stiffly and clenches his jaw. âI need air.â
âDo you want to be alone?â you ask.Â
His reply comes short. âJust come.â
You nod and hurry after him out on deck. His entire body screams anger. You donât dare to open your mouth, scared to upset him even more. Instead, you follow him like a shadow around the promenade deck. He suddenly stops and looks at you, as if he just only realized that you are still here. You back away a few steps to give him space. He flinches forward, as if his body wants to walk over to you, but his brain stops him. He wants to hug you. Wants so bad. But it is not professional.Â
âMaybe i should goâ, you say. âI think that you need some alone time to think. Iâll see you later, okay? Donât be so hard on yourself.â
âNo, waitâ, he says and grabs your arm. âDonât leave.â
You look at him questionably.Â
âLetâs just sitâ, he says and pulls you over to the deck chairs.Â
âAre you sure that youâre okay?â you ask hesitantly. âYou seem a bit on edge.â
âItâs not directed at youâ, he says.
âOkay, but youâre still upset. I know that you hurt yourself, but itâs okay, itâll heal quickly.â
âItâs not just that.â
He never makes mistakes. He never slips up. Youâre becoming dangerous for him.
âDo you want to tell me?â you ask.
He shakes his head and gives you a small smile. âNo. Iâm fine.â
âAre you sure?â
âYes.â
Itâs cute how worried you are about him. He gives you a smile.Â
It feels like a dagger through the heart when you tell him that it is your last week on board. What do you mean that youâre going home? You just came here. His mind spins as he tries to come up with something. He needs you here on this boat â or wherever he is â to work properly. Both figuratively and literally. He feels like he performs better, both in the operating theater and as a human.Â
The cut on his hand has healed by now, but he can still feel the burning sensation of your fingers against his skin. He canât â won't â forget it. He kept the bandage, despite the blood on it.
You need to be kept here ⌠and he needs to come up with a solution on how to keep you. He could make you trip down the stairs and have you break a leg. No, you could still return home with broken bones. He could tie you up and lock you in, but if you screamed loud enough someone would hear you through the thin steel walls. You need to blend in. How does one blend in, in a floating prison with wounded people.Â
Oh. Of course.
He makes his way to the medical supply room, looking around for something â anything â that he can use. He finds a little green bottle. You shouldnât drink it straight away, but if he dilutes it in water, it should be fine.Â
He decides to mix some of the dangerous substance in your tea the following mornings. For the first few days, there seem to be no symptoms of his little poisoning. Until the fourth morning when youâre not at his door when he expects you. He gets himself dressed and out of the room, marching down to your new â own â cabin. He knocks on the door.Â
âY/N, are you awake?â he asks.Â
âYesâ, he hears your voice through the door, your voice thick and hoarse.Â
âCan I come in?â
âNo.â
He opens the door. Youâre lying in the bed, curled up with your arms over your stomach.Â
âHow are you feeling?â he asks.Â
You shake your head weakly. âNot well. My stomach really hurts ⌠I think that Iâm going to throw up. I havenât been able to go get a bucket so Iâve been trying to keep it in.â
âIâll get you a bucket.â
He leaves the room. Out in the corridor, he canât help but smile. Itâs finally kicking in. He had been worried that it wouldnât work until you had left the ship ⌠where he canât care for you. He gets a clean bucket from a storage closet and returns.Â
âLetâs get you up rightâ, he says and helps you sit up.Â
The motion alone is enough to have you throwing up. He places the bucket under your mouth, letting you empty yourself.Â
âIâm sorryâ, you hiccup.Â
âItâs okayâ, he replies.Â
âI donât think I can work today.â
âI donât expect you to.â
âIâm sorry.â
âStop saying that.â
He opens the window and sits down by the desk.Â
âYou donât have to stay hereâ, you say weakly, leaning against the wall. âIâll be fine.â
âYou wonât be fineâ, the doctor says. âI can see that. You took care of me, now Iâll take care of you.â
âItâs different. I just put on bandage.â
âSo? You werenât skilled for more. I am, and I intend to put my knowledge to use.âÂ
He stands up abruptly, deciding to start right away.Â
âLetâs get you some fresh airâ, he says. âThis open window wonât do.â
âDoctor, I canât moveâ, you say, eyes widening. âI-Iâve tried, but I-I ⌠I canât.â
He frowns. Has he done too much?Â
âMy stomach hurts so much and my limbs donât seem to want to move.â
âItâll be okayâ, he says shortly and lifts you up in his arms. âIâll do the moving for you.â
He walks slowly along the decks, so as not to make your nausea even more unbearable. He walks out to the enclosed promenade where rows of beds stand along the walls and places you down in one of them, making sure to get you in the sunlight. With a smile, he tucks you in.
âSome fresh air and sunlight will do you goodâ, he says and sits down on the side of the bed. âWhy donât you try to get some rest? I suppose you havenât had much this night. Iâm not going anywhere, youâll be safe.â
You nod and make yourself a bit more comfortable.Â
âItâs hard to not be nauseous when the ship moves so muchâ, you mumble.Â
âI have the bucket, you can vomit as much as youâd likeâ, he says.Â
âIn that case I won��t vomit at all. Because I donât want to.â
Doctor Kry scoffs with a smile.Â
âI knowâ, he says. âTry to rest now.â
He sits by your side until youâve fallen asleep. You are so unbelievably sweet. In every single way. Doctor Kry stands up to go empty the bucket. He walks out the enclosed promenade, out onto the open deck and throws the contains over the side.Â
âWhatâs with your apprentice?â Doctor Hart asks, walking over to him with his hands in his pockets. âRumour says that theyâre sick.â
âYes, they areâ, he says shortly.Â
âWerenât they going home this week?â
Do not remind me.
âThey wereâ, he says, even colder. âNot anymore. I canât let them go back if they have some kind of sickness. Better for them to be isolated here where it canât spread far.â
âIs it contagious?â
âYes, very. I think that you should stay away from them â tell everyone else to be cautious and keep distance as well.â
He grimaces and quickly backs away from him, walking away. Doctor Kry smirks and shakes his head.Â
And you consider yourself smart enough to be a doctor?Â
âWhat are you doing?â
The little boy is back. Nicholas stands a few steps behind him, watching curiously.Â
âIâm emptying a bucketâ, Doctor Kry answers, trying not to sound short and cold like usual. You like this kid and if heâs impolite to him, heâs sure heâll hear about it from you.Â
âWhy?â
âBecause there was vomit in it.â
âEw! Did you get seasick?â
He rolls his eyes. âNo, not me. Y/Nâs not feeling well.â
âIs Y/N sick?â
âYes.â
He looks worried. His best friend isnât feeling well? Doctor Kry sighs.Â
âDo you want to come and meet them later?â he asks. âTheyâre resting right now but you can come visit when theyâre awake again.â
âWhen is that?â Nicholas asks.Â
âI donât know.â
âHow will I know then?â
âI donât know.â
He doesnât wait to hear more dumb questions. Doctor Kry walks straight back to the enclosed promenade and places the bucket by the bed. He sits down by your legs and takes your hand.Â
A few days go by. He continuous to poison your tea, and help you throw up. When your body doesnât want to do it anymore, when itâs too exhausted to work for your benefit, he has to help.Â
âAlright, open your mouthâ, he says, brushing any type of hair away from your face. âThis will not be pleasant, but I need you to throw up, okay?â
You sit beside him on the bed with the bucket in your lap, hugging it tightly. Your unsure grimace is enough to answer.Â
âI knowâ, he sighs. âItâll be quick. It wonât hurt.â
âOkayâ, you mumble and nod, opening your mouth.Â
He reaches in with his fingers until they touch the soft part of the back of the mouth. Your mouth is warm and soft, making him feel light headed. As soon as you gag, he pulls his fingers away. You hover over the bucket for the thirteenth time in twenty four hours. Doctor Kry pats your back.Â
âThere you goâ, he says. âSee? Quick and easy.â
âEasy?â you cough, giving him a stern eye. âNowhere near easy.â
âOkay, maybe not easy. Bad wording. But itâs over now. Good job, Iâm proud of you.â
A sad smile appears on your face. You lean your head onto his shoulder, sighing in exhaustion. Doctor Kry tenses. His heart stops.Â
âIâm so tiredâ, you whisper. âMy body hurts.â
He hesitates before wrapping his arm around your shoulders, bringing you closer to him. Your scent clogs up his head.Â
âI should be home by nowâ, you whisper.Â
âI knowâ, doctor Kry whispers comfortingly.Â
You break out into sobs. Doctor Kry swallows. He can imagine how you must feel. Body broken and unresponsive, not back home with your family like you had planned and anticipated ⌠and you canât do anything to stop it. Doctor Kry turns your body to him and hugs you. Holding you feels like heaven. You fit perfectly in his arms, as if you were made for him, and him only. You were born to be his.
âI'm sorry if this is unprofessionalâ, you mumble.Â
âIt's okay, you're sickâ, he replies thickly
He closes his eyes, enjoying the embrace. Itâs everything he could â and have â ever dreamt of. His own little patient, in his arms, where they belong. Only for him. Oh, God, he can never let you go. You will be here for as long as he is, and then heâll take you back home to him. Whether you like it or not.
âIâm cold.â
âI'll go get you some more blankets.â
He dreads to let you go but he can't deny your request. Your warmth disappears from his embrace.Â
He decides to hurry, wanting to get back to you as quickly as possible. As he walks down the main staircase, he feels the entire ship shudder and hear a loud âbangâ. He has to grab onto the staircase railing to not fall over. The sound of porcelain crashing onto the floor in the distance hits him. He hurries down.
A man covered in soot runs past him. One of the men from the boiler room.
âThe ship is flooding!â he shouts in full panic. âWe're sinking!â
Doctor Kry widens his eyes. There's no way, right? They're a hospital ship! No one in their right mind would sink a hospital ship! His mind forgets the blanket. He needs a lifebelt. Not a blanket.Â
He runs past the room where you had stayed first, and he can see the nurses inside trying to scramble their belongings into small purses. Without thinking, he marches over, shuts the door and grabs the nearest fire extinguisher to break the lock. He throws the fire extinguisher to the side and hurries down the corridor, opening the first door he finds. It's a cabin for female nurses. He reaches over one of the bunk beds, to a net where lifebelts Are kept. He pulls down two and runs out.Â
The floor has started to shift beneath him. He can tell that it tilts to his left. She's going down by the stern.
He runs up the stairs, trying to push his way through a flood of people desperately climbing upwards. He wants to shout at them, but it won't matter. No one else will listen or care. Instead, he uses force to push himself through the crowd.
He has to get to you before anything happens. There's no certainty in how much time there is, but there is a certainty of death if he doesn't hurry up.Â
He runs through packed corridors, ripping open your door.
âWhat's going on?â you ask with wide eyes.
There's something horrific with your fearful eyes. Everything about you is dull and tired, besides your panicking eyes.Â
âWe've been hitâ, he says in a steady voice and forces the white lifebelt over your head, tying it tightly around your body. âWe need to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible.â
âWhat?â you ask in shock. âWhat happened? You said that we were okay, that nothing would happen to a hospital ship!â
He doesn't answer. If he does, he's worried that he'll snap at you. Instead, he lifts you up and carries you out of the room. He makes sure not to trip, but carrying you through tilted spaces is harder than he expects. Giving up is not an option, however.
The boat deck is crowded. He manages to get through to a lifeboat and sits down with you in his arms.
âIâm scaredâ, you whisper.
âIt's okayâ, the doctor whispers back. âEverything is going to be okay.â
He holds you tightly when the lifeboat slowly sinks towards the water, scared that you might fall off.Â
Seeing the ship from afar as the lifeboat makes its way away from it finally puts things together in your head. You gasp. You had been on that ⌠and if Kry hadn't come get you you would still be on it, waiting for death.
The bow slowly rises out of the water, dripping with water. The sun shines right on it, as if it is the oceanâs main attraction. The room where doctor Kry locked in the nurses is far underwater by now. He hides a smirk under his hand. He had promised that they would be punished for what they had done. They'd have a chance if they hadn't been childish.
âI never thought that Iâd see something like thisâ, you say. âI never wanted to see the bottom of a ship.â
âMe neitherâ, the doctor replies.Â
âWill many die?â
âNo, not many. Iâm sure of it.â
You creep closer to him, shivering although you donât feel any cold winds. He holds you tighter.Â
The only thing left of the floating hospital is a steamy, bubbling mess, filled with debris. Itâs like you can hear her hit the ocean floor. You canât help but wonder what position she is in, if youâll ever get to know. If anyone ever will dive down and check. If that will be possible.
âItâs so silentâ, you whisper and meet his blue eyes. âIt shouldnât be silent ⌠should it?â
âI donât knowâ, he replies. âWhat is the other choice? People screaming?â
You shake your head quickly. Donât want to imagine that.
Hours go by. When the evening comes, youâre picked up by another ship and given blankets and food. Doctor Kry stays close to you, not letting anyone get close. He sits in a protective position beside you, arms crossed over his chest, eyes scanning everything and everyone around him.Â
The little boy clings to a woman who you guess is his mother. He doesnât seem to understand what has happened, how lucky he is, and you hope that he never will.
âWhat will happen now?â you wonder quietly.
âI will continue to care for you until you are wellâ, he says. âThatâs what will happen. I will take care of the rest, you donât have to worry about anything. Just lean on me and everything will be alright, okay?â
You nod. Doctor Kry smiles and straightens his neck.Â
âGood.â
You look up at the colorful evening sky and sighs. No one died this day â apart from a few nurses who doctor Kry didnât like, but he will never tell you that â and that is a comfort. But youâre unaware of the plans doctor Kry has for you. And maybe thatâs for the best. Â

Negotiate Early, Negotiate Often
The unknown Sith lit his lightsaber, one end, then both, revealing it to be a saberstaff.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan activated their own lightsabers, then Obi-Wan frowned slightly.
âJust curious,â he said. âBut whatâs your name? I just realized Iâm only thinking of you as âthe Sithâ.â
âMy name is Maul,â the Zabrak replied. âDarth Maul. I am your end, Jedi.â
âHmm, debatable,â Obi-Wan replied. âWe donât actually know yet and thatâs the point of this lightsaber battle. As soon as we get around to starting it, anyway.â
He shrugged, twirling his blue saber blade around his hand. âBut Iâm curious, thatâs all. Why now? After hiding for a thousand years, Maul⌠why now?â
âNow is the time to reveal ourselves to the Jedi,â Maul declared. âTo take our revenge.â
âRight, thereâs two Sith at any one time,â Obi-Wan agreed.
â...Padawan?â Qui-Gon asked.
âIâm negotiating,â Obi-Wan replied. âItâs sort of experimental. Iâll see how it works.â
He returned his attention to Maul. âBut â well. Thereâs two Sith at any one time. Thereâs currently⌠what, ten thousand Jedi Knights, and about the same number of trainees and padawans? Itâs a lot, is what Iâm saying. And now we know you exist.â
Maulâs mouth had fallen open slightly, and he shut it with a scowl.
âYouâre lying,â he said, shaking his head. âThere canât be ten thousand of you.â
âThere very much can,â Obi-Wan answered. âThough Iâm not a knight. Iâm a Padawan. Qui-Gon is a Master, but he is also a knight.â
He reached into a pocket. âIâve not got the names of all ten thousand, but my comlink has a few hundred comcodes programmed into it-â
Maul snarled, reaching out with his hand, and threw a piece of detritus at Obi-Wan with the Force. Obi-Wan immediately put his comlink back in his pocket, spun his saber, and sliced the object in half.
That seemed to get the battle going more generally.
âIs this how weak the Jedi are?â Maul asked, grinning, as they locked blades in front of one of the power cores.
âIâll be honest,â Obi-Wan replied. âIâm not sure you thought through that whole bit about how we havenât known you existed for a thousand years.â
Qui-Gon advanced, and Maul twisted to block both attacks at once. That turned into a slash aimed at removing Qui-Gonâs head, and Obi-Wan deflected the slash away with a swipe of his own blade.
âYou see,â Obi-Wan went on, as the battle ebbed and flowed. âWe havenât had much in the way of enemies with lightsabers for a thousand years. Most of our work has been dealing with enemies who, at the most, have blasters â and generally speaking we aim to disable, not kill, unless killing is the only remaining option.â
âA sign of the weakness of the Jedi!â Maul laughed.
Obi-Wan blocked all three of Maulâs next attacks, flowing through the forms of Soresu with an easy grace. âPerhaps,â he said. âOr perhaps itâs a sign of strength. To kill someone when thereâs an alternative is to take the easy way out â finding a solution that doesnât require killing everyone who disagrees with you is harder, but more rewarding.â
Qui-Gon just sort of stood back, watching his Padawan and trying to look for an opening where he could help without promptly getting decapitated.
âAre you the Master or the Apprentice?â Obi-Wan asked. âBecause if youâre the Master, then â Iâll be quite honest, I do question why you didnât reveal yourself years ago, and why youâre acting largely as hired muscle.â
He shrugged, working it into his bladework as he deflected one attack after another. âAnd if youâre the Apprentice, then⌠again, why do you reveal yourself now? If you didnât know there were that many Jedi, whatâs your Masterâs motive?â
âStop! Using! Soresu!â Maul snarled, trying to force an attack through Obi-Wanâs defences.
âIâd rather not,â Obi-Wan told him. âWeâre talking, arenât we? Iâd rather have the time for a discussion. But please, do think through what Iâm saying. Why Naboo?â
âMy Master handles politics,â Maul said, then scowled.
âAh, so youâre the Apprentice,â Obi-Wan declared. âIn that case, allow me to compliment you on your excellent skill with Juyo. If I werenât using a purely defensive Soresu style Iâd probably have been filleted by this point-â
Maul punched him in the face with the hilt of his saberstaff, and Qui-Gon stepped in with his green blade flashing to save Obi-Wan from a fatal blow.
âIf you could stop annoying the Sith, Padawan?â he suggested.
âNegotiations are often fraught, Master,â Obi-Wan replied, picking himself up again and working in tandem with his Master. âYou need to know about the other person before you can reach an acceptable compromise.â
âSo, your Master handles politics?â Obi-Wan asked, through the glowing energy doors. âAnd he sent you here.â
âI donât want to talk to you any more,â Maul said. âIâm going to kill you both.â
âAnd then what?â Obi-Wan replied. âYour Master tells you well done, and you go back into hiding, while the next time you face the Jedi Order weâll have been preparing for it? What about this is worth it?â
âRevenge!â Maul snarled. âAt last, we will get revenge on the Jedi!â
âRevenge for something a thousand years ago?â Obi-Wan asked. â...even Master Yoda isnât that old.â
He shrugged. âWhat Iâm trying to say is that â are you really getting what you want? Or are you following the orders of your Master?â
âI am trying to meditate, here,â Qui-Gon said, kneeling between two of the force fields.
âItâs still a legitimate question,â Obi-Wan replied. âIf at least one of us three does have to die, then donât we at least all want to know why? Maulâs Master sent him here for something, but we donât know what. Does Maul know? Or is he just going where heâs sent, into deadly peril, where his Master hasnât even told him how many Jedi there are?â
He lifted his gaze, to catch Maulâs eye. âHas he been told as little as possible, to make him a weapon instead of a person?â
Maul snarled, then the energy gates began to deactivate.
Maul and Qui-Gon immediately engaged in a duel, and as soon as the gates in front of Obi-Wan deactivated he sprinted forwards.
The last one activated just before he reached it, and he stabbed his lightsaber into the projection systems. The whole laser gate shorted out, and Obi-Wan followed through to join his Master in an attack on Maul â then reached out his hand, suddenly yanking on Maulâs saberstaff with the Force.
That threw the Sith off, and Obi-Wan destroyed the staff in a single blow.
âSorry,â he said. âThat was very Niman of me.â
Maul stared at the two glowing lightsabers pointed at him.
â...Jedi donât kill prisoners, right?â he asked.
âIf youâve committed any crimes, then that might eventually happen,â Obi-Wan said. âBut that would be up to a trial. I donât actually think youâve done any crimes except trying to run over Anakin with a swoop bike and one count of assault⌠so that probably wouldnât happen, no.â
He glanced at Qui-Gon. âDoes that sound right?â
âIâm not even going to interfere here, Obi-Wan,â Qui-Gon replied. âYouâre clearly better at defensive negotiations than me.â
âDefensive negotiations?â Maul asked.
âNegotiations involving Soresu,â Qui-Gon explained.
âIn that caseâŚâ Maul said, then paused. âI have a new person I want to get revenge on. Heâs called Darth Sidious, and he did want a benefit from attacking this wretched place.â
He grinned. âHe wanted to be elected Chancellor, using the sympathy for his own planet.â
Obi-Wan made an interested noise.
âWell,â he said. âThatâs a very impressive revenge, achieved quickly. My compliments!â

What do you think about Reader being Alfred's apprentice, they would be the Batfam's apprentice butler. The man needs a break
(hey! so, i don't actually know what apprentice means because english is not my first nor second language i'm just relying on grammatical correct to fix it all for me. so sorry if it's not written the way it means. also may have carried away and lost the topic)

(Yan!batfam)
Well, good luck for them because being Alfred's apprentice means having to also learn how to tolerate vigilantes who have also picked up some of the stubbornness from their mentor.Â
I don't know if you want your relationship with them platonic or romantic but either way they would be annoying for an ounce of attention
If it were more romantic in nature, then let them provide the experience; they will let the reader to tend to their minor injuries, even though they know full well that they could handle it themselves, just for the pleasure of feeling the warm hands gently nuzzling their muscled arm. They touch them and ask if it hurts. Well, honey, of course it hurts, especially when you look at them with those amazing eyes that defy explanation. All they can do is try to act normal and give you flirtatious answers like they always do, but since you came from Alfred, you have to maintain your professionalism and brush off all the flirtatious comments to keep things as they are.
If they were platonic, you'd need siblings to thrive. They won't treat you as a butler so you may have the real experience of taking care of them like Alfred would. No, how about they train you to be their sibling? Wouldn't that be more appropriate for you yeah?
However, you resisted and continued to serve them regardless of what they said to you. You already have a family, therefore there is no need for another obsessive one. So they'll have to do it on their own; they'll do the ruffling of your hair whenever you say something brilliant; they'll do the holding of your hands; they'll make clothes for you and force you to wear them so they can dot on you; they'll do things with you that only siblings would do, not butlers.
Eventually you lost from their stubbornness and let them be the another obsessive family of yours.
But I'll say, there's no need for another trainee Alfred to fill in when the main one is in rest because no matter how Alfred train them to be like him, they will never be him.
No one can do it like Alfred could. Just sayin đ¤ˇââď¸
