The Past 💛 Atlas
Tumblr media
There's a slight chill in the air today. One of those days where the heat of the sun is beating down, but every now and then, a breeze kicks up causing goosebumps to raise on my arms as it flutters through leaves that are starting to turn to various shades of gold but have not yet fallen. Still holding on along with the last remnants of summer.
As promised, I’m walking with Asher to the bakery for a decent cup of coffee. He invited Lex to come along, which I’m glad about. I always enjoy hanging out with her. She keeps things light and easy.
Tumblr media
She’s ahead of us now, alternating between skipping forward and hopping backward so she can gesture to us as she tells her story. She reminds me of a child in a bouncy house recounting a grand adventure. Exaggerated, out of breath, and constantly trying not to laugh as she stumbles about. It’s infectious.
Just being in her presence, I feel lighter, like the weight of the world has taken a break from my shoulders, allowing me to relax and breathe a little easier.
Tumblr media
It’s easy to see that her and Ash have been friends for years. They act more like siblings with their constant inside jokes and play-fighting. I’ve already given up on trying to follow their conversation about people I’ve never met and places I’ve never been, but enjoy the sounds of their banter all the same.
“Hey, Atlas!” Lex jumps over and smacks my arm with the back of her hand, snapping me out of my thoughts. She’s affectionate in an almost violent way: slapping, poking, wrestling. Her hugs are the kind that leave you gasping for air. Affection is not something I’m used to, nor does it come easily to me, so Lex’s heavy jostling is somehow more palatable than softer, more intimate forms of contact, even if I still rarely reciprocate.
Tumblr media
“Have you caught up on Somnium yet?” She asks me this every week, but at least today I won’t have to disappoint her again.
“Yeah, Dawn and I caught up the other night.”
She squeals and claps her hands together, excited to finally be able to talk without spoiling, “So, what do you think of your precious coffee shop boy now?”
I roll my eyes at her, “Jesus, Lex, I said he was cute once, and now you’re always up my ass about it.”
Asher perks up and asks with a grin, “Ah, so that’s your type huh? Pale boys with black hair?”
I look over, surprised by his sudden interest, and noting the way he pointed out literally the only thing he has in common with the character. The truth is, Wyatt isn’t really my type. But Asher, with his relaxed confidence and playful smile, very much is, so I decide to play along, shrugging casually, “I mean, it’d be better if he dyed his hair a bright color like blue, or green, or something, but close enough.”
Tumblr media
He laughs and then squints up at me, “See, now, I can’t tell if you’re making fun of me or flirting with me.”
“Pourquoi pas le deux, hm?” He is cute, isn’t he? Especially the way he’s looking at me now, chewing on his bottom lip, his gray eyes searching mine as he tries to determine how serious I am. As we look at each other, the air suddenly feels electric between us, and I have to avert my gaze before my face gives me away. I’m relieved to see we’re approaching the bakery, and I jump ahead to open the door before he can respond.
As I hold it open, Lex walks through giving me a sideways glance and an amused smile. Asher follows close behind, saying, “Thank you,” and flashing me a quick wink that catches me off guard. My stomach flips as I fall in line behind them, dropping my head to hide my face as I smile to myself.

Tumblr media
“I just don’t understand why. I can tolerate you kissing and hugging me, but you have to take my clothes too?” Your boyfriend Bakugo complained staring at his closet after doing his laundry. 
You looked up from your phone sprawled out on his bed. 
“What?” Thinking you misheard him. 
“It’s a bit much don’t you think? It’s enough with the affection but you gotta take my clothes too?” He groaned.
“I’m…your girlfriend.” You said slowly confused at his words 
He glared at you, “Yes I know.” 
“You really have a problem with that?”  Bringing your knees up and together to talk to him with your full attention. 
“Yes.” 
“Okay sorry I’ll work on it.” You said with pressed lips. 
You spent a couple more hours hanging out before leaving. 
Coming home you went into your closet and pulled out all the clothes he had given you. Throwing them all in the laundry to give to him tomorrow. 
You came into homeroom before class with a bag in your hand. Coming over to his head you leaned down to give him a kiss before freezing. 
I can tolerate the kissing and hugging
Bakugo frowned at your stiffness, “What’s wrong with you?” 
You straightened up almost robotically. “Nothing. Good morning.” Holding out the bag to him. 
“What’s this?” His brow folded with narrowed eyes taking it from you. A habit of his to not let you carry anything in his presence.
“Your stuff. Washed and dried.” You said with a small smile and sitting back down as Aizawa started with his lesson. Bakugo was shocked you actually gave him his clothes back. 
Lunchtime rolled around and you were in the courtyard. It was turning into fall from a hot summer. One of the first chilly days of the year. And your uniform was not cutting it. The short skirt and shirt did nothing to keep the chill out of your bones. You crossed your arms and leaned into your stomach trying to fight off the cold. Bakugo side eyed you as you tried to talk but your teeth began to chatter. “Are you okay?” 
You nodded “yeah I’m fine. What were you saying about your new training regime.” Trying to distract you both from how uncomfortable you are. 
“Here take it.” He said unzipping his jacket and you shook your head. “It’s fine I’m about to go inside anyway.” In a rush picking up your tray and leaving. 
Bakugo sighed at you being so fidgety and uncomfortable with him. He knew it. He was too mean last night, he should’ve asked nicely. 
Spending the rest of the day inside you were fine. Bakugo came over to walk you. 
“Let me walk you back.” You nodded with a smile looking at his hands but quickly averting your eyes. It wasn’t a good idea to hold hands. 
You walked beside him your arms crossed over as you both enjoyed the air. 
“Are you cold?” He sideeyed you wanting you to admit it and not be stubborn. 
“A little but we’re almost there.” You said 
Feeling the goosebumps on your ice cold skin. You could feel your boyfriends eyes on you but you ignored them. 
“Are you sure?” He asked again 
“Yeah Kats.” 
He was at your door ready to get his daily cuddles and to be loved. 
You stood at the door way, “Okay I’ll see you around.” Giving your boyfriend a fist bump and sliding into your door with a crack. 
Bakugo blinked at the closed door in front of him. “What the hell was that?” He grumbled staring for two seconds before slumping off. 
The next day you woke up and pulled out a light jacket for the field trip day you were having. 
You loaded onto the bus in the early morning fog half asleep. Yawning and scrubbing your eyes you didn’t even notice who sat next to you. Stepping over your legs to get the window seat. 
Cracking an eye open you noticed it was your boyfriend. 
“Hi,” you said in a sleepy voice to him. Almost leaning on his shoulder but you stiffened once again. 
“Im sorry.” You muttered changing your neck to the other side at an uncomfortable angle. Making sure your legs and hands weren’t touching. 
He stared at you for a moment. 
You couldn’t even lay your head on his shoulder for a long bus trip?
Katsuki waited until your breathing changes into a deep sleep and gently moved your head onto his shoulder. Kissing the top of your head. 
You woke up as the bus pulled to a stop and felt his muscular shoulder under your head. For a moment you relaxed before straightening up again. 
You blinked the sleep out of your eyes and averted them guiltily not wanting to see your boyfriend upset. muttering a small “Sorry” and getting out of your seat to sit next to one of your friends. Seemed like sorry was the only word you knew today. 
The white fog and moisture in the air made daybreak ice cold as everyone unloaded from the bus. The breath leaving your lips coming out in a mist and your eyelashes wet. Your arms crossed over your chest and your neck tucked into your chest. The light jacket you had not nearly enough for the freezing cold morning. Rocking on your heels half asleep just focusing on compressing yourself to conserve as much heat as possible within the crowd of classmates. 
Bakugo watched you shiver in your thin outfit not even paying attention to the pro hero’s giving a speech about the training exercise. 
When the hero called for a break he shrugged off his hoodie without a second thought and pushed your head in through the widened neckline. 
You blinked in surprise at the heavy clothing draped on your shoulders. 
“What’s this?” You said confused looking at your neck but not making any movement to put it on. 
“You’re cold.” He stated the obvious. 
“I know? I’ll be fine. I don’t need your jacket.” You insisted pulling it off but Bakugo grabbed your wrists with a frown. 
“You are cold. You are wearing my jacket.” He said 
“No I’m okay. I’ll forget I’m wearing it and won’t give it back. Remember I said I was working on that because it bothers you when I wear your clothes,” you gently reminded your visibly upset boyfriend. 
He looked frustrated as you explained and took off the hoodie and pushed it back in his arms. 
Katsuki opened and closed his mouth with anger in his eyes. 
“No, I didn’t-“ 
A classmate waved you over and you turned your head to respond cutting him off. 
“Okay bye I’ll see you later,” you said goodbye with no move to give him your usual quick kiss or hug. He waited for you to turn around with a joking smile to get a kiss but you never turned around. 
He was grumpy since you left. Sulking at the fact that you were cold and because he opened his big mouth you said no. He liked taking care of you and didn’t like seeing you uncomfortable. 
And now you didn’t kiss or hug him to say hi, when you wanted attention, or to give sweet goodbyes. 
A fist bump yesterday and you were too distracted this time to give him attention he silently craved. 
He was distracted during the exercise watching you talk animatedly to your partner and bouncing on your soles to distract from the cold.
At a break Katsuki came over to linger around you. You turned around to see him hovering. 
“Hi,” you gave a small smile at your agitated boyfriend. Outwardly he just looked his usual self but you could tell something else was going on. He stood close to you and the instinct to wrap your arms around his waist and lean on him was heavy on your mind. But you kept your hands to yourself and smiled up at him. Just happy to be around him even if he didn’t want you to touch him. 
Unknown to you Katsuki wanted a hug but he never initiated physical contact. Just standing close to you hoping you got the hint. 
“Do you need something?” You asked 
“No..I…never mind.” 
You nodded in an awkward silence knowing he was acting weird but letting it go. 
“You’re still cold.” He blurted at you 
“Uh…yeah I am. What do you want for lunch?” You asked.
“Then why won’t you take my jacket.” He stared at you like you were stupid.
“Because it is a problem that I take your clothes and it upsets you.” You said slowly.
“Yeah I got mad once but it doesn’t matter. But you’re not even touching me or acting normal.” 
“I am normal. You being upset does matter to me.” You said confused 
“Okay and I appreciate that baby. But what type of boyfriend would I be to have you freezing your ass off when I have a jacket.” He complained trying to get you to take the jacket but you just stared at him. 
“A good boyfriend who just likes to have his clothes and doesn’t want me to be clingy. There’s nothing wrong with that” You reassured but Bakugo only sulked more. 
“You said you tolerate my physical touch. I didn’t know I made you uncomfortable. I’m sorry.” You said softly feeling the guilt that had been weighing on you since that night.
Bakugo felt his heart drop at your apologetic words, in no world had you ever made him uncomfortable and you were apologizing when he was in the wrong.
“If you don’t put this on I’ll manhandle you into it.” he threatened 
You laughed and he raised his eyebrows as if it wasn’t a joke. 
He pulled you into bear hug into his chest as you gave a small yelp at his quick action. 
Bakugo kissed the top of your head rubbing your arms with his large hands. “You’re freezing babydoll.” Into your scalp. 
“You’re being nice? Why?” You said muffled into his chest feeling how warm he is. Radiating heat like a warm oven into your icy blood. He ignored your question.
“And youre very warm.” You said 
“And you’re freezing. Your hands are like ice.” He said above you.
“I just didn’t want to upset you. You don’t like when I touch you or take your clothes.” 
He sighed, “You’re too good for me. I was being a dick the other night.” 
You laughed at his words not disagreeing , “Can I hug you back please.” You said cautiously looking up at him. 
He grabbed your arms and put them around his torso before zipping up his jacket.
You pushed up on your toes giving him a kiss. 
“Aizawa is going to kill us.” You muttered noticing the group had left both of you behind.
“Yeah but don’t worry I’ll protect you.” He said

ethereal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
February 20, 2022
It was supposed to be the happiest day for her, she just won gold at the olympics again, breaking history and accomplishments dreams she never thought were possible to accomplish. It was supposed to be a day she was going to celebrate all night but instead it was a day that she knew was coming.
Fredrick and Vera were two peas in pod since the moment they met, the two connecting in a way that was just ethereal.
They quickly become one of the best pairs in history. Most days were spent together training, laughing, smiling, spinning around the ice together.
They grew up together as their friendship grew with them. Fredrick and Vera had a beautiful connection anyone could see it by the way Fredrick treated Vera with love and affection, the way he always was softly touching her, always gently picking her off the podium, Fredrick never once dropping her ever, The wha Vera would light up around him, the way she always relaxed fully again him, how Vera talked about him whenever someone asked about.
Fredrick and Vera just had a connection that was priceless and special and it slowly turned into something more even. In January of 2020 they admitted what they felt for each other and it just grew from their, it was so natural and passionate between the two anyone would think they would be together forever.
Except they weren’t.
Vera never knew when it changed but it did. One day, slowly but surely the sweet boy who use to bring her flowers and make her laugh turned into someone she couldn’t ever recognize a flash of. The boy she fell in love with was gone.
Vera noticed the way he slowly moved into the guest room and on the road suddenly ever room had two bed. The once loving and affectionate touches became nonexistent, the only time she felt his touch was when they were on the ice. And the once sweet comments and lovingly words she received turned into cold condescending words or pure ice cold silence and ignoring anything they came out of her mouth.
Vera noticed it at the end of the summer of 2021 they had been together for a year and half and everything was great until it wasn’t anymore.
Eventually the more she was treated this way she noticed she was falling out of love with him, and at the end of the day she could handle losing his love and losing being in love with him but she missed her best friend.
Vera planned to split up their partnership after the Olympics were over because she was done trying fighting to save something that he doesn’t even want to save.
She knew she made the right decision when they went to sign their contract for the next year of being pairs when she read the requirements. He wanted her to pay for everything. Everything for skating or to do with skating was to be payed by her. The money they receive from winning would not be spilt but would go all to him and Fredrick had the finally say on everything.
Vera slowly looked up from the contract looking right into Fredricks eyes as she picked the contract up ripping it down the middle, “No.”
“What why not?” Fredrick angrily snapped, the lawyer looked between his two clients nervously, having seen the requirements but was told by Fredrick they both wanted them.
“No i won’t sign this. I won’t sign another contract to continue being your pair.” Vera slowly stood up still maintaining eye contact, “You forgot something Fredrick, i never needed you. But you have always needed me.” Vera turned around walking towards the door, hiding the heartbreak from showing on her face.
“You’ll regret this.” Fredrick yelled towards her back slamming his hands on the table. Not ever been known to control his temper.
Vera held the door knob in her hands before turning around, “No i wont.” She turned around ready to leave before she turned her head once more to see the fumes coming from Fredrick, “Oh and if you couldn’t tell, we’re over.” Vera shut the door behind her walking out the hotel confrence room heading straight to the elevator, she clicked her phone on calling to have her plane ready in a hour to go back to California.
Vera walked down the hall to her hotel quickly opening the door slamming it behind her, sliding down against the door hitting the floor burying her face into her hands.
Apollo and Aries jumped off the bed where they were sleeping and ran right to their mother, Aries nudged his nose into her hands and Apollo leaned his body on Vera’s side.
“Thank you my loves.” Vera whispered to her two babies cuddling with them needing the comfort more than ever. She took a few minutes to just hold her dogs before she gently let go of them getting up and starting to pack up their stuff, she packed all of her stuff back into her large suitcase and all of her dogs stuff into their suitcase she clicked on the leashes for her dogs before exiting the hotel room with the two suitcase, her backpack on her back, her purse on her shoulder and both of her dogs on the leashes.
Vera walked out of the hotel into the car that was waiting for her, thanking the driver who took took her bags before hopping into the back with her two dogs.
The drive was quick to the the airport and she quickly climbed up the steps into her plane, nodding at her employees before heading to her bedroom she has in the back of the plane she closed the door and un clicked Apollo and Aries leashes and sat on the bed pulling her knee to her chest resting her forehead on her knees feeling both of her boys sit on either side of her. Aries layed his head on her arm looking at his mom with sad eyes giving her a small whine, Apollo leaned his whole body weight into Vera’s and licking his mom’s arms.
Vera remembered meeting Frederick when they were young, only just kids and when they went onto the ice together for the first time they just clicked and they knew they had to be partners, their connection was so natural and so easy for them. It was a connection many other skater’s envied wanting to be that connected to their partner.
Vera and Fredrick had met Alexandra who quickly became their other best friend, the three quickly became a trio. Becoming each other’s safe space, where they didn’t feel as the whole world was watching. Alexandra and Vera becoming platonic soulmates the two pushing each other to only become better on the ice. Alexandra and Fredrick finding a sibling in each other and having a very teasing relationship.
Traveling the world and spending most your time on the ice you tend to grow close with the people you skate with and Alexandra and Vera don’t know what was wrong with Fredrick but Alexandra slowly stopped respecting her once best friend that was a big brother to her when she saw how he was treating her best friend.
Alexandra could see how hard Vera just wanted their best friend back and she only hoped that Vera will get her happy ending one day.
Vera woke up hours later running a hand through her hair seemingly to fall asleep with her dogs cuddled with her and checked the time realizing the flight was over half way done and decided it was time to get away from California and fast and she knew exactly where she wanted to go.
New Jersey.
New Jersey a place she’s always loved staying in and the biggest factor as it has one of her most favorite people in the world living their her big brother Nico, and the Devils who have all become like family to her and one of her closet friends Jack.
She pulled up the apartment complex she knew Nico and Jack lived and quickly found an apartment that would be perfect for her and her dogs and quickly applied for the apartment and was surprised when her request was immediately approved and the contracts quickly emailed over for her to sign and put into the money and she would already have the apartment. Vera quickly finished everything letting out a small smile seeing how quickly everything fell into place.
She pulled out the book she was currently reading to past by the rest of the time and before she knew the plane was landing and she was waking up her dogs putting their leashes back on and grabbing her backpack and purse.
She walked down the stairs to the plane heading into the car that was waiting for her and got into the car, the drive to her house was quick and she quickly thanked the driver before unclipping the leashes of the dogs and walking into her house in California, one of her more favorite places and had made some of her closest friends here and the first place she bought a place not rented.
She breathed out a sigh of being home and for once she thanked Fredrick for having moved out a while ago so she didn’t have to worry about him coming over to get anything that is his.
She took out her phone as she walked up her stairs towards her room and texted her group chat with Trevor and Jamie telling them she is home and she knows they don’t have a game today or tomorrow before throwing her phone on her bed and heading into her bathroom and taking a long shower.
Vera walked out of the bathroom with her hair freshly washed and brushed before grabbing a pair of grey sweatpants and a purple loose long sleeve, she slipped on a pair of fluffy socks and walked down stairs and across the long hall to the living room and throwing the throw blanket across her lap as Aries and Apollo layed on both sides of her.
Vera heard the door open and knew exactly who it was especially when her dogs tails started excitedly wagging.
“Honey we’re home!” Trevor’s voice echoed through out the house.
“In here babes!” Vera called back not getting up.
Trevor and Jamie walking into the living room making Aries and Apollo jump up and run over to the two. Trevor set down the bag he brought and kneeled down petting them like crazy as Jamie softly petted the top of both their heads before looking at one of his best friends nothing the dimmed look in her eyes that has been more common recently and the way her lips were naturally more downturned.
Trevor bounced up from the dogs jumping onto Vera, “Congratulations VeeVee!” Trevor hugged his best friend tightly.
Vera tried not to think of everything that happened but she couldn’t help and starting sniffing in the hug from the comfort from her best friend, she burrowed her her head into her chest feeling the tears running down her face and her shoulder began to shake.
Jamie and Trevor looked at each other with concern, Trevor hugged her tightly as Jamie sat on the other side of them brushing a soft hand through her wet hair.
The two let Vera cry all her tears out onto Trevor’s hoodie before she slowly calmed down.
Vera lifted her head looking between her two best friends, Trevor wiped off her tears as Jamie looked her in concern, “What happened Vee?”
“He wanted to sign a contract to continue our pair and it was fucked, he wanted me to pay for everything including all of his expenses, all the earnings were to go to him and he had final say in everything, so i ripped up the contract and broke up with him.” Vera fiddled with Jamie’s hands as she told them what went down a day ago.
Trevor clenched his jaw hearing about Fredrick, Trevor having known Vera before she dated Fredrick and with Vera living mostly in California he was one of the few who truly saw how much their relationship got extremely toxic and how much Vera has been heartbroken over the last year.
Jamie frowned looking at one of his best friends, “Is that why you came home early?” He knew she was supposed to be there a few more days celebrating her gold medals.
“I had to leave.” Vera mumbled resting her head on Jamie’s shoulder while Trevor laided on top of her.
“Well i for one am glad you broke up with that asshole!” Trevor grinned looking at Vera making her let out a soft laugh.
“Of course you are ZeeZee.” Vera fondly smiled knowing how much Trevor hated seeing her in that relationship getting hurt.
“How are you feeling.” Jamie looked towards her in concern.
Vera took a deep breath, “Honestly kinda free, obviously it still hurts to think about losing him as my best friend but i’m relieved to have finally cut that part of me.” Vera for the last year as she noticed Fredrick slowly changing she had hoped everything would get fixed and she could have her best friend back but she knew she really needed to end things with him.
“Good.” Jamie kissed the top of her head.
“I got an apartment in New Jersey.” Vera blurted out into the comfortable silence.
Trevor’s head popped up from where he was laying on Vera, “What! Why?”
“I thought maybe a fresh city to live in could do some good, besides my new location will be opening there soon and Nico apartment complex had an open space and Jack will be there too.” Vera explained her thoughts to the boys.
“I think it will be good for you.” Jamie reassured her thinking a new city could be good for her.
“As long as you don’t forget about us!” Trevor pouted, “And we have a lot of games in New York and New Jersey so we will be able to see you a lot.”
“And i’m keeping my house here in California and i still have to come out here a lot anyways so it won’t be that bad.” Vera reassured the pouting Trevor.
“Alright but as long as i’m still you favorite hockey player best friend, Jack cannot past me.” Trevor looked at Vera extremely seriously making Vera and Jamie throw their heads back laughing at their silly best friend.

Genshin Impact men as older brother figures: Headcanons
Includes: Kaeya, Scaramouche, Diluc, and Xiao
Tw: none
KAEYA:
-Teasing. Straight-up teasing. You're never going to get away from it, so don’t even try. I mean, come on--It’s Kaeya, what did you expect? He will keep it to a degree where you know that he’s only poking fun at you, however.
“Oh? A hug? Aw, did you miss me that much? You're too cute. My heart can barely take it.”
-He’s a doting older brother figure, if not incredibly mischievous. I feel like he’s the type to drag you everywhere and invite you to hang out in his office when he’s not working. If you're lucky, he’ll probably try to teach you how to wield a sword or even spar with you.
(Does he let you beat him sometimes? Yes, but he’ll tease you about it so much it probably won’t feel too much like a win.)
-Also, be ready for hugs! Are you feeling down? You're getting a hug. Did you see something that you didn’t like? Hug. Did you get injured somehow? A gentle scolding, then you get a hug. He’s worried that you’ll slip through his fingers, just like everyone else he’s ever cared about, so he’ll try to remedy that feeling by physical touch. So don’t be afraid to initiate hugs by yourself, he’d love it. He’s a very touchy person, so if that’s your thing, you two are a perfect fit!
(If it isn’t, he’ll respect your boundaries, but might ask for hugs occasionally.)
-He’s mildly protective. He knows you can probably fend for yourself but still--he will step into any situation where you feel or show that you are somewhat uncomfortable.
“Ah, just a second. I’d like to speak to my darling little sibling. Huh? No, I’m sure what you were talking about isn’t important at all. Completely irrelevant, even. Please leave, so I may enjoy some quality time without your…unpleasant presence.”
-Ok but I wanna say that he’s like a…sort of bodyguard? I mean that like, idk, he doesn't like (see: absolutely hates) the thought of you being taken advantage of by someone else so he’ll try to ward off any potential suitors vying for your attention.
-Like, if he sees someone else hitting on you, they’ll definitely be subjected to a very cold and insincere smile that just generally warns others against doing it again. If they're persistent…well, let’s just say that he’ll replicate their stubbornness tenfold. 
-Expect a casual arm slung around your shoulder if you're as tall as him, or both arms folded on top of your head while he looks down at your pursuer if you're shorter. Besides, who’s going to go against the Calvary Captain himself? 
-Will Kaeya engage and pull you into various antics? Yep, probably. Will he make sure that it’s all lighthearted and fun as long as you're here? Yep, definitely. 
-He’ll be one of those siblings who acts a little aloof while caring immensely about your wellbeing, hidden under his usual teasing facade.
“You look thinner today--don’t tell me you aren’t eating. Did you skip breakfast? That won’t do--come along, we’re going to the Good Hunter. Why? Well, I can’t have a stick for a little sibling, can I?”
-When you're feeling sad, he’s good at comfort. He’ll listen and add his own commentary when he feels that it’s needed and as mentioned earlier, is completely willing to hug you if you need it. In fact, being a cryo user, his hugs are cooler than a normal person’s, so in the summer, it’ll definitely feel nice. In the winter…he’s a bit sad that you won’t ask for them as much so bear with him if he’s more clingy during that season.
(Can you tell that I really like physical affection? ;-;)
-Pretty chilled out, most of the time, UNLESS you have managed to get injured. Whether it be from training, or a run-in with monsters, anything, he’s there to wrap your wounds, hug you,  and then flick your forehead especially hard for worrying him. 
-Then he’ll subtly hover over you and make sure you don’t get hurt even more but, like, very sneakily, to the point which you won’t even notice his behavior until he becomes more relaxed and lets you go off on your own without his supervision.
“Nope. I’m not letting you cut your own bread. Why? Because I want some too, y’know. You’ll eat it all by the time I’ve blinked twice.”
(No, he just doesn’t want you holding a knife while your hands are bandaged lest you get even MORE hurt somehow. He’ll deny it if you ask him later.)
-He’ll let you sit in his office whenever you want, even when he’s working, as long as you stay quiet. If you fall asleep while waiting for him to finish, he’ll wrap a blanket around your shoulders and let you sleep.
-Tell him you love him (platonically), and he’ll pause for a second trying to process what you just said in genuine surprise. The result of that is an extra clingy and sappy Kaeya. He might drape himself over you just because he wants to be near you. Or just casually lean against you, using you as a sort of crutch or something.
-Would he let you try alcohol? No. At least, he won’t let you drink huge amounts of it. Maybe a little sip of the most watered-down wine you've probably ever tasted because he’s a responsible person underneath his mask of apathy.
-All in all, he’s a very sweet older brother figure, although he doesn’t show it often, keeping it buried under a layer of his usual barbs and teases. Just know, he’ll always be looking out for you--betrayal is a sore spot for him so he tries to show that he’ll never intentionally hurt you. 
(He doesn’t want the same thing that happened to Diluc to happen to you. He’ll keep you as close to him as he possibly can, while life is good. Maybe, when he finally feels that you are ready for it, he’ll tell you about his past and his history.)
SCARAMOUCHE:
-Ouch. That’s all I’m going to say for when you first meet this guy. Ouch, very ouch. Scaramouche has a sharper tongue than anything--even the sharpest sword can’t compare to his cutting words.
-BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT HE APPARENTLY HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR KIDS??
(lol idk if this is actually true, but I’ll take my soft Scaramouche agenda to the grave with me. PLUS I SAW ADORABLE SCARA AND QIQI ART ON TWITTER AND AGHGHGJG I LOVE  IT)
-Lmao, good luck getting through his defenses and worming your way inside his heart, but when you actually do manage it…an absolute softie with you. Anyone else, they're nothing more than scum made to be walked all over by his sandals. 
-He’s like a cat. A very demented cat. If you spend enough time with him and put actual effort into seeing past his incredibly grumpy exterior, then you’ll find that he’ll tolerate your presence. Scaramouche won’t talk to you like he does with his subordinates and really…kind of dotes on you in his own way.
“I saw this bracelet on the ground and it reminded me of you. It’s absolute filth so it’s fitting that you would like it.”
(Sir you cannot tell me you found this gorgeous bracelet on the dusty ass ground. It doesn't have a single speck of dirt on it.)
- He doesn’t really mean it when he insults you or anything. If you read between the lines, his messages are actually quite sweet. You just have to dig deep. Really deep.
-Tsundere. A total tsundere, there’s simply no way around it. He’ll give you little trinkets or food he finds interesting, disguising the actual reason for giving it under excuses.
“I got dango from one of the stalls and the idiotic wench manning it gave me two. I’m not going to eat it, so take it. I’ll throw it away if you don’t.”
“I can’t believe that they thought I’d use something as useless as this. You can have it--it serves me no purpose whatsoever.”
“I have no need for your…physical affection. Hey! I didn’t say I wouldn't let you hug me! I know your puny mortal needs have something to do with… hugs. Be grateful I’m letting you do this.”
-His hat is big enough for the two of you to huddle underneath. He’ll let you wear it if he’s feeling nice and if you beg him enough. Actually, if you beg enough for anything, eventually, he’ll cave underneath the weight of your requests. You just have to beg a lot--like a humongous amount of begging. 
-You managed to win over his favorability with determination (lots of it), so why shouldn’t you be persistent enough to ask him for things over and over?
-He’s actually incredibly protective of you. There’s someone following you home? Well, their head now exists somewhere far away from their body. You got hurt today? After making sure you're fine, he’s going to find the culprit and brutally introduce them to his friend, death. You get made fun of? Looks like that person no longer has a tongue to make fun of you with. 
-He won’t let you see the extent of his work with the Fatui, but he will tell you that he does regularly murder people, and you're fine with that, cool! He’s relieved as well! When he enacts his plans to break away from the organization, you're coming along with him, although it’s highly likely that you’ll be dropped off somewhere safe while he…ahem…becomes a god.
-It doesn’t work but rest assured. As soon as he recovers he’s coming back to get you. Maybe the two of you will go on adventures together.
(There’s no way in hell that he’ll ever leave you as the world did to him.)
-I don’t think he’s too much of a touchy person but he will accept casual physical contact, such as hugs or maybe leaning against you when he’s feeling lazy. Maybe he’ll tell you that he absolutely despises it, but really, he doesn’t mind it too much.
-If you tell him that you really appreciate him he’ll grace you with one of his incredibly rare smiles. So make sure the scary short man has all the words of affirmation you can possibly give him--it reassures him that you won’t disappear and betray him like everyone else has. 
-If you had any intention of leaving him, it’s gone now. Scaramouche is the type of person who might break if he suffers just one more of the things he hates. Please don’t leave him, he’ll shatter under the weight of every betrayal he’s suffered.
-Sad boy, give him hugs. Don’t let go, it’ll make him feel so much better. 
-He’s a bit softer since being defeated (see: getting his shit rocked) by the Traveller, so he’ll welcome any affection you show him readily, although he will make excuses when he wants to do the same to you.
“...You have something on your shoulder. Come over here, I’ll get rid of it…no, this isn’t a hug. You're just making things up.”
(It’s totally a hug.)
-He’s not too good at being an older brother figure, but he’s learning, slowly but surely. He’s trying his best to make sure you have a better life than he did and damn it, the world will end before he deserts you.
-His comfort level is…mediocre, but he does his absolute best to try to make you feel better, in his own roundabout way.
“Stop crying. It’s…unbefitting of you. No, wait, that came out wrong… Just come over here alright? You don’t need to cry when you’ve got me. We’re stuck in this together, whether you like it or not--so suck it up.”
-You’ve somehow, by the grace of the gods, earned the title of being his family and that means you're stuck with him forever. Like a cat, you feed one day and it just keeps coming back for more. I hope you don’t mind because he’s fiercely loyal to you.
DILUC:
-I’d say that he’s a bit…rusty when it comes to emotions. Bro legit does not know how the fuck they even work sometimes, but he’ll try to make sure that you know that he cares about you deeply. He comes across as gruff and even grumpy most of the time, even though it’s probably not what he actually feels.
-Istg, 99% of the time he looks as if he might punch someone if they dare come up and talk to him. Plus, the claymore he sometimes hauls around Monstadt is also incredibly intimidating. 99% of the time he’s probably thinking the exact opposite of what people assume.
-Diluc is what you call, emotionally constipated. He’s got a bad case of RBF, so kudos to you for approaching him and getting close enough to see that he’s actually a nice person. He naturally slips into the role of an older brother, although he might come off as awkward when he tries to convey that to you.
-He’s a total sweetheart. Kind of. He won’t let you come along when he slaughters encampments of hilichurls but if he gets hurt, he trusts you enough to bandage whatever wounds he could have procured from his patrols. 
-Sometimes that just leads to both of you sitting on comfortable seats (or the floor) and literally just talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Like, just random ramblings and stuff and somehow that just leads from topic to topic. 
(Although it’ll probably only be you talking about everything, don’t worry. Diluc will definitely listen while you speak and sometimes, he’ll even share some of his own experiences.)
-They're rare, but he will have them with you, and it will guarantee that you strengthen your bond with him. It’s just that he has to do work often, or is exhausted by his nightly routine to go out and kill monsters.
He’s very protective of you. He’s had too many of his family members get hurt because of him, so he’s incredibly careful with the way he treats you. That extends to being extremely overprotective when someone shows obvious interest in you and he doesn’t approve. 
“So…you have a crush on my little sibling?... You are unfit of being in any type of relationship in the first place. What makes you think you have a chance?”
-I feel like you have to be the one who has to drag him off to bed so that he doesn’t overwork himself like an idiot.
“...Just let me finish signing this document. I need it to help with the trade of the Dawn Winery’s alcohol production in Liyue.”
(Bitch, that’s what you said 30 minutes ago. Sleep.)
-This guy is touch starved, glomp him or something, he won’t complain. He’s strong enough to hold you up when you do this, don’t be shy. He likes physical touch but for the love of god, he will NOT be the one to initiate it. He won’t ask for anything at all and it’s usually a little difficult to tell if he wants a hug or not.
-Here’s an easy way to tell: Diluc just stares. He stares at you for like, long minutes on end, until you put it together that he wants something like a hug. 
-It was weird at first, but now it’s kind of endearing now that you actually know he’s doing it.
-He’s one of those people who gives you a nice, little head pat whenever he feels that he needs to, which is sweet. Although sometimes it’s natural and others it’s a little awkward, but then again, almost everything that’s related to emotions with him is awkward.
(You get extra brownie points if you reach up and pat his head too. He’ll blink confusedly for the next two seconds while mentally bluescreening.)
-He’s surprisingly good at comforting others, seeing as he’s somewhat oblivious to emotional cues. He’ll listen and be there for you, like an anchor to tether you down. His presence can have a rather soothing effect as well.
-Would he let you braid or do his hair? Maybe, if you're lucky and he wants to spend some time with you. His hair is silky and incredibly thick. It’s the best kind for learning how to do different hairstyles since it’s longer. 
-He tries to be as open with you as he possibly can and absolutely hates lies for…reasons. Please don’t lie to him, he’ll be sad. 
-If you get hurt then oops. Looks like your outside privileges are revoked until you recover! Lmao, he’s going to force you to stay at his home while you recuperate from your wounds. Will he be there to make sure that you actually rest? He’ll damn well try and it’s highly unlikely you’ll escape from your bedrest until he deems you well enough.
“I don’t care if you told the bakery you would get sweet flowers for them. Your leg is injured and I don’t need you messing it up while you heal--stay in bed. I’ll get them for you, and in return, JUST STAY THERE AND DON'T MOVE--”   
-To be fair, he doesn't need you running around, bleeding out slowly and painfully. LIKE A CERTAIN BLUE-HAIRED IDIOT. I have a headcanon that Kaeya consistently neglects the fact that he’s injured and brushes off the fact that he’s hurt in order to finish more work, which definitely stresses the hell out of Diluc. So he’ll try to make sure that you're fine, to try to ease his anxiety about the both of you.
-Slowly, as time goes by, he becomes more comfortable with you. He’ll bring you small little presents and he’ll let you sit behind the bar in the Dawn Winery when he’s there. Diluc will even let you assemble your own drinks too, granted if they're non-alcoholic. 
-He won’t let you taste alcohol until he’s sure that you're responsible enough and even then, he’s going to supervise you, just in case. Bro does not want you to be drunk while he’s not there. The thought of someone advancing on you while you're intoxicated makes his blood boil.
-I say he’s a good older brother figure, in all. He’s a little guarded, and it takes a while for him to actually open up to you enough to consider you as a part of his family but when he actually does, you two are going to be like two peas in a pod.
-(Bonus: Diluc and Kaeya reconcile because of your proking and prodding of both of them. This just means that there are no longer any misunderstandings between them. Both will definitely spoil you while running a friendly competition on which one of them can earn the most of your attention.)
XIAO:
-Look, I wanna know how you managed to befriend an Adeptus to the point of being considered his little sibling. This guy is even more emotionally constipated than Diluc. Don’t let that deter you from trying though!
-Maybe he saved you from monsters and you try to thank him by repeatedly bringing him almond tofu and chatting. Maybe you find him on the roof of your house and you sit next to him every night he decides to visit. Maybe you intentionally seek him out and use your determination to get closer to Xiao, idk. Take your pick of any of these situations.
-Either way, you’ve managed to make him care about you deeply, even though he flat-out refuses to show it. (In actuality, he just doesn’t know how to tell you that you matter to him a shit ton, so he settles for sticking to your side and coming whenever you call for him.)
-Oh, btw, he’ll tell you straight away once he’s comfortable enough to just call out his name whenever you need him. Whether it’s just for something small or something that’s important, he’ll arrive whenever you ask. He might scold you a little if it’s for something he deems as unimportant but he doesn’t actually care too much.
-To him, it’s reassurance that you actually want him around and don’t mind his presence. Which, of course, you don't, he’s an awesome Adeptus, how dare you even think otherwise??
-But in all honesty, he tries to make sure that you're safe and fine, even subconsciously. Like in the back of his mind, he’ll wonder if you're okay and if you call for him while he’s thinking about your safety, he’ll arrive even faster than normal.
-He’s not too big on physical contact or cuddles, but he’ll grudgingly accept them if you're the one giving. It makes him feel bubbly inside and it’s somewhat unfamiliar to him, so he just avoids the feeling all together.
-He’s protective, but he’ll try to keep his distance from you because of his karmic debt. He despises the thought of you being hurt by him or his karma, so at first, once he actually realizes that, oh shit, I really care about this human, he’ll start to distance himself away from you. 
-Then you have to hunt him down and tell him that you love him (platonically) and would still stay even if his debt harms you.
-If he sees someone that you're clearly uncomfortable with keep trying to engage you in any type of way he will go down to you and threaten them a little. He’d do more if his contract with Rex Lapis permitted it but he swore to help all humans, which means that he isn’t allowed to actually hurt them.
“Stay away from my little sibling. I’ll rain hellfire down upon you if this continues.”
(Well…he’ll only threaten murder to the point of them leaving you alone. How sweet--it’s his own way of showing his care for you.)
-Even though he doesn’t like big crowds of people, he will go with you if you want to go to festivals in Liyue, just to make sure you're alright. Sure, he’ll look grumpy and brooding the entire time, but he uses this time to grudgingly get closer to you and ward off any potential suitors vying for your attention.
-If you get hurt, he’ll start blaming himself for not protecting you better, even if it’s only a shallow scratch. In his eyes, you are something pure, not meant to be harmed in any way at all. Compared to himself, which he sees as disgusting and shameful. He’ll visit you all the more when you're wounded, which means that you’ll practically have a shadow following you everywhere, ready to step in and help you at any time.
-Xiao appreciates it when you spend time with him, like sitting together under a large tree, hiding from the heat of the sun. Or even just chatting aimlessly on the roof of your house in the middle of the night. Or even sleeping on his shoulder while he keeps watch. Whatever it is, he makes sure to cherish every moment, because he knows how short mortal lives really are.
-Tell him that he’s the best older brother in the world, he’ll blush in embarrassment and scold you for being so shameless. Inwardly though, he’ll feel all warm and happy so give him lots of reassurance that you really do care about him, just as much as he does for you.
“...How brazen can you possibly be?... No, I’m not red, your mind is playing tricks upon you, but…thank you. I--never mind.”
-If he feels lonely, he’ll subtly be more clingy the next time he sees you. Like a quick little tap of his fingers against your arm to get your attention or more physical contact. Maybe he’ll make an excuse to stick to your side as long as he can afford, trying to tell himself that it’s for your own good.
-He will let you play with his hair when he feels somewhat tired. He doesn’t actually sleep--it’s more of a light doze--but he will tolerate you combing your fingers through his silky hair since it feels nice for him. You've done it so many times that it’s practically habit for him to lay down next to you and expect you to start running your hands through his locks. 
-If you don’t, he’ll nudge your hand a little and glare at you until you comply with his wishes.
“...Hey. would you start…doing your thing already? What? Of course you know what I mean, you've done it so many times before. Huh?... You're just messing with me, aren't you?”
-OUGFDSEFG we love him.
-His comforting skills are…the same as Scaramouche’s but he tries. Don’t hold it against him if he just stands to the side, patting your back awkwardly, silent wishing he had the power to make you feel instantly better. He legit has spent so much time avoiding humans that he doesn’t even know how they work anymore.
“…hey. Don’t cry, I’m…sure everything will turn out alright. Huh? You weren’t crying? Well, just feel better, okay?…I don’t like seeing you sad.”
-All in all, he might fumble around with his emotions but ultimately will do anything to ensure your happiness and safety. Plus you can brag about having touched an Adeptus’s hair and survived to tell the tale! Honestly, he’s a real sweetheart who really cares about you. Spend some time with him, and share a plate of almond tofu, he appreciates it.
AN-ok I’m done. If u want to ask me to write anything, I am currently taking requests, HOWEVER, it’ll take me a while to actually post anything else, so please be patient! Please don’t steal my work!

Promptober: Day Twenty One
Tumblr media
Steve Harrington x fem!reader 805 words.
“Hey, remind me again why we’re doing this?” 
You looked over your shoulder to see Steve squinting at you under the bright sun, blue skies and the October chill making the day a perfect autumn crisp. 
But Steve hated the cold, so your boyfriend was scowling, bundled in layers of a sweater and a smart coat that Eddie always poked fun at, a scarf that was wound around his neck not once, but twice. 
He looked unbelievably adorable, but his mood suggested that he wouldn’t appreciate you telling him that. His arms were crossed, holding his coat tighter to his chest as he followed you through the lines of trees, stepping over fallen fruit that had started to rot and soften. 
You smiled at him, hoping to soften his grumpy demeanour. “I told you, babe, Joyce and Mrs Sinclair wanted to make some pies, so…”
You gestured to the orchard, each tree weighed down with apples, some green, some brilliantly red and some inbetween. You shifted your basket to your other arm, reached out to inspect one on a low hanging branch and plucked it with a satisfying grin. 
“Yeah, no, I got that part,” Steve sighed, taking bigger strides to catch up with you. “I just don’t get why we’re the ones that are here.” 
You turned, pouting when you saw his arms were still crossed, brow creased. His cheeks and nose were pink with the cold and the wind had picked at his hair as you both walked through the farm, the brown strands looking soft and a little wild.
“Because Mrs Sinclair is working late shifts before the holidays and Joyce is taking your kids to the fair with Hopper,” you said it like Steve should’ve been grateful, as if it were a favour for a favour and when Steve scoffed like you knew he would, you grinned. 
“Babe, they’re not my kids,” Steve grumbled, finally uncrossing his arms to take hold of the basket full of apples that he realised must’ve been getting too heavy for you. “They’re gremlins and they’re an inconvenience and somehow, even at fourteen, they’re always just a little bit sticky—”
“You were the one who promised those gremlins a trip to the fair in the first place,” you reminded him, trying to sound stern. But Steve had stepped closer and was pushing a cold hand to your neck, fingers and thumb cupping your jaw as he pouted at you. “Don’t try and distract me, Harrington.”
Finally, a grin. Your favourite version of the boy because he smiled and lit up and it was like summer had returned, just for a moment or two. 
“I know,” he sighed, “but I stupidly agreed to work more shifts and when I finally get out all I wanna do is go and see my girl,” he leaned down, nudged his nose to your cheek with more affection than you could handle. “S’that so bad of me?”
A kiss, another, a line of them pressed sweet to your cheek, finally landing at the corner of your mouth until Steve grinned. Your eyes had closed without you even realising. 
“You’re a menace,” you told him, a whisper full of fondness. It hurt how much you liked this boy. “If you wanna spend time with me, why’re you complaining now, huh?”
Steve leant his forehead against yours, the basket an unwanted obstruction between you both. He pressed a soft kiss to your lips, smiled when you lifted your chin for him so he could give you another and another and another. 
“It’s really fuckin’ cold,” he all but whined and his complaint made you laugh. 
“I’ll warm you up when we get home, okay?” It was a promise that you made sound as dirty as you could, voice lowered, looking at the boy through your lashes. “How’s that sound?”
Steve pretended to think it over, thumb smoothing over your cheek, a touch that was so full of love that it made your stomach tumble. 
“Make it the back of the car and I won’t complain again.”
You gasped, trying to sound scandalislised, as if you hadn’t spent far too much time under and on top of the boy in the backseat of his BMW. 
“Steve Harrington, you’re filthy,” you whispered but you were grinning and so was he. 
“And so are my new boots,” he grumbled but the smile was still there and his arm was needling around your neck to pull you into him again. 
Another kiss, cold noses pushed to cold cheeks, longer this time, a soft, slow slant of his mouth over your own that made you sigh into him. He hummed at your noise, smiled against you when you tried to chase the kiss for more but Steve pulled away, laughing. 
“C’mon pretty girl, there’s apples to be picked.”

“We’re all going to keep fighting, Harry. You know that?”
A Dress with Pockets by @pacific-rimbaud (E, 25k, Neville/Pansy)
Pansy Parkinson needed a drink. And a shag. She didn't care in which order. Enter: Neville fucking Longbottom and his rolled up sleeves.
Call Me Friend, But Keep Me Closer by @tackytigerfic (M, 4,164, Neville/Harry, Drarry)
"Neville Longbottom had always loved plants, but he loved Harry Potter more." Neville's got a good thing going with Harry... or so he thinks.
Five Women Neville Longbottom has Loved and Lost by @gyzym (Not Rated, 2,036, Neville/Various)
"I think," Luna says, "that pain can be a beautiful thing, but only on Tuesdays."
Helios by toomuchplor (E, 7,576, Neville/Harry)
Think warm thoughts.
Like a Hero by @aibidil (T, 1,818, Neville/Ginny)
Perpetually stuck on the periphery of Harry's inner circle, Neville has always felt like an onlooker. But when Harry leaves and war comes to Hogwarts, it's up to Neville—and Ginny—to redefine what a hero looks like.
Love to Give by @kittycargo (E, 9,542, Neville/Harry/Draco)
Neville and Harry are in a relationship when Draco moves back from Italy and needs a place to stay. Neville never knew how much love he had to give.
Mistakes by sebastianL (M, 148k, Neville/OMC)
Professor Neville Longbottom is on the verge of becoming Head of Gryffindor. If he has a summer fling before that happens, it won't affect anything that comes after, right? Right? A story about the road not traveled, refusing to bow down to dark forces, and finally learning that no one should ever underestimate Neville Longbottom.
The Boy Who Could Have Lived by yourorbitaround90 (M, 215k, Neville/Ginny)
Seventh year at Hogwarts from Neville's perspective. While Harry, Ron and Hermione are f*ing around in the woods, Neville, Ginny and Luna are starting a full on rebellion.
Trying by aideomai (T, 12k, Neville/Draco)
Neville had hoped when he left Hogwarts that he’d never have to see Draco Malfoy again; he’d barely even seen him in that last, terrible year, when Malfoy had dropped out somewhere around the Easter term. But then Harry, Ron, and Hermione came back from their delayed seventh year and with them, pale and sneering and sharp-tongued as ever, came Malfoy.
Bonus: poor Neville is dead in this one but he's so wonderful in the flashbacks!
When It Returns by @academicdisasterfic (M, 7,501, previous Neville/Harry, Drarry)
‘You’re late, layabout,’ Malfoy drawled, pushing the whiskey over to him. ‘I’ll have you know that I am very busy maintaining a whole house and garden by myself now.’ ‘Oooh, the dead husband card. Before any alcohol. Is that a record?’ Harry's husband is dead, and Malfoy is the only one who gets it. Or, the one where they drink at a straight man pub, renovate a house, and learn how to find joy again.

First Dates & Ferris Wheels (Aitana Bonmati x reader)
Tumblr media
A/N: A little sequel to Reunited
The life of a professional footballer was hectic at times. Finding a time when both yours and Aitana’s schedule lined up proved to be difficult but after 2 months you finally had the same two days off. Since that night in Madrid you spoke to her every day but the only way to see her was over face time. 
Once Aitana knew the days you had off she went into planning mode but refused to tell you a thing. She told you which train you should get and that she would pick you up from the station. All you knew was that the date was taking place in Barcelona which you didn’t mind at all. The city held happy memories, you would go with Aitana and her family to Barcelona matches on the weekend as it was a 45 minute drive from Sant Pere de Ribes.
The train from Madrid to Barcelona took almost three hours so you got yourself comfy, ready for the journey. What you didn’t bank on was seeing three familiar faces enter the carriage.
“What a coincidence” Lola says jokingly as she sits opposite you with Carmen next to her and V sitting next  to you.
You didn’t find it funny in the slightest. All you wanted was a couple of days with Aitana, now it was a team trip. Your face was like stone and the three of them soon picked up on your annoyance.
“You don’t look happy to see us” V says.
“That’s because I’m not. You asked me what I was doing on my days off, I told you I was going to see Aitana alone. How did you find out, let alone the train I would be on?” You ask.
You see the three of them look at each other, as if mentally drawing straws to see who tells.
“Aitana told us” Lola says rather quietly.
This was a lie. You and Aitana both talked about how you wanted to spend this time together, just the two of you, so you both agreed that your plans would be kept secret.
“Try again” you stare at the keeper and she breaks immediately.
“We did ask Aitana but she wouldn’t tell us” Lola admits.
“So we asked Jenni to pry it out of Alexia because we knew that Aitana would go to her for advice”
“So correct me if I am wrong. You asked me, I told you no. You then asked Aitana who had the same response. At this point, instead of accepting that we didn’t want you to know, you coerced the information out of someone Aitana trusted”
All three of your teammates find themselves at a loss for words and the look on your face lets them know that they have crossed the line.
“We’re so—“
“I don’t want to hear it. I best not see you over the next two days. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time and I wont let you guys spoil it, do we have an agreement?”
“Yes” Lola says
“Sorry” Carmen apologies.
“We promise” Virginia tells you.
The rest of the train journey you refuse to talk to them. Instead you read your book just like you had planned to do before you got ambushed.
***************
After what might be the longest 2 hours and 45 minutes of your life you arrive in Barcelona. Even as you disembark the train you give your friends the the silent treatment.
Waiting near the platform is Aitana, a caring smile on her face which soon drops when she sees that you aren’t alone. Insecurities grow within her when she begins to think why you would bring them when she made it obvious she wanted you and only you.
“Ignore them. It’s me and you” you say as you pull her into your arms, placing a gentle kiss on her temple.
The affection you show calms her.
“Let’s go” She says as she leads you out to her car.
The short car journey is spent singing along to the radio. Aitana hands rests comfortably on your thigh as she drives. Every so often you would look over at her, finding her concentrating face adorable. 
“We’re here” Aitana parks the car.
Looking up you read the sign.
Tibado Amusement Park 
You cannot help but feel nostalgic. Ever summer the two of you would come here and spend the day going on ride after ride then trying, and failing, to win the biggest prizes.
“We have made so many memories, ready to make more?” Aitana asks as she holds out her hand.
The feeling in your gut is familiar yet foreign at the same time. Many things had changed since you were last here yet the look of excitement on your best friends face is same as it was all those years ago. You are frozen on the spot as the moment consumes you.
“Do you not like it?” Aitana worries as you don’t take her hand and the look on your face is unreadable.
“Sorry, too caught up in the past” you grab her hand.
“Don’t worry. I have spent a lot a time there too” Aitana reassures you.
Although she would never admit it, Aitana lost sleep over planning your first date. Patri had made a snide comment saying that just because young Y/N liked young Aitana didn’t mean that older you would feel the same. The words were stuck on repeat in the midfielder’s head ever since but as you held her hand she felt the same spark she felt a couple of months ago and the grin on your face lets her know you feel it too.
You spend the first part of the day going on as many rollercoasters as you could. The adrenaline you felt when you got off failed in comparison to the butterflies that Aitana gave you. 
Then the two of you went to the games area where unlike your childhood you actually managed to win a huge teddy on one of the ball games. Just like in the movies you give the prize to your date. You are about to leave the stall when you see a young girl trying to win a similar prize. When she fails and her mother tells her that all the money is gone, she begins crying.
“Hola! You can have mine” Aitana says as she gives her the bear.
The interaction touches your heart. The girl’s mother thanks Aitana profusely whilst the little girl hugs her as a thank you. 
“What are you looking at?” Aitana catches you staring but you don't mind.
“You” your reply is simple and honest. 
Aitana dips her head with embarrassment as she feels her cheeks heat up.
“And the fact that you just gave away something I spent 5 years trying to win you when we were younger” 
“Win me?” Aitana is shocked at your confession.
“Of course, I wanted to win a prize so that I can give it to prettiest girl I knew” 
“That teddy bear has nothing on the prize I am taking home” Aitana says rather confidently.
“Oh, are you going to try and win that huge spider-man, you know they are impossible to win” you say jokingly.
Aitana slaps your arm at your silliness. 
“Idiota! I mean you” 
You wrap your arm around her shoulder as you begin walking to the next stop on your date.
“I am a pretty great prize” your voice thick with smugness.
The next ride had to be your favourite. The Ferris wheel. Yes, it was boring but you loved that it only enough room for two people. It was intimate but in an innocent way.
“Nice you see this is still your favourite. I swear you are the only person I know that comes to an amusement park and their favourite ride is the slowest” Aitana says as she can feel the excitement radiating off you.
You are stood behind Aitana with your arms wrapped around her neck, resting them on her chest. She in turn places her hands on top of yours.
“Want to know a secret? Why it is my favourite?” Aitana nods her head.
“It was the closest I got to you when we were younger. You would sit as close to me as you could because you hated the height. I got to hold you and I didn’t have to explain the reason why it felt so good. You would wrap your arms around me and rest your head on my shoulder, I still remember the scent of your citrus shampoo. It was a moment where I felt the most peace and I would look forward to it every year”
Aitana turns to looks at you. Shyness isn’t something you feel very often but after admitting a childhood secret, you are overcome with it.
“I’m not scared of heights, never was. I just wanted you to hold me”
You don’t have the chance to respond to Aitana’s confession as you the two of you are ushered onto the ferris wheel and as if no time has passed the Barcelona player sits as close to you as possible while you hold her. Although the action is familiar, the feeling in your gut is new. There was no secret motive to having each other close, you were both doing it because you wanted to. 
“I’m really happy that I have you back in my life” Aitana says out of the blue. 
When you look down at her you see that she is looking out at the amusement park that is becoming more and more like a miniature model with every minute that passes. 
“What if we have changed? The history we had was amazing but what if too much time has past?” This thought has been running through your head since Lola made a comment a few weeks ago at training. You had annoyed her and she retaliated by questioning what kind of future you and Aitana could have if you lived in the past. 
Your question gets Aitana’s attention as she abandons her admiration of the view and is now looking at you trying to figure out where this was coming from. Had you not enjoyed the date? Were you having second thoughts? Her insecurities from earlier return tenfold but the longer she thinks about it, the more she realises that you didn’t mean ill by your words. 
“Someone said something didn’t they?” You nod your head “who?” 
“Lola” your voice is quiet and your look shifts to the floor of the carriage as doubt settles in. 
Aitana is infuriated. Why would Lola say something like that? 
As if reading her mind you are quick to come to your team mates defence. 
“I don’t think she meant it maliciously. I guess a part of me was already thinking it and then her words didn’t help” 
Aitana agrees with you, knowing that Lola is harmless. She has seen over the past couple of months just how close the two of you are. 
She turns, now fully facing you. You grab her legs putting them across your lap hoping that it is a comfier position given the small enclosure you are in. 
“Our past is what made us. Some of my happiest memories are with you when we were young and I like talking about them, especially with you” Aitana wraps her arms around your neck, interlocking her hands as her thumbs play with your baby hairs “We have changed but the way I feel about you hasn’t. I love our past but I love the thought of having a future with you more”
You look at Aitana as if she hung the stars. What you must have done in your past life to have her in this one, you could never know but you were grateful for it. Your gaze remains on the woman in front of you and it is as if you have forgotten how to talk, that is the effect Aitana Bonmati has on you, in this moment more than ever before.
The concept of time is moot as the two of you sit there, neither speaking or moving. That is until the ride comes to a stop and you have to get out.
Much like before, Aitana grabs your hand as she begins leading you to the next part of your date but you don’t move. You pull aitana back towards you as you crash your lips in hers, what starts as gentle soon turns passionate as you both put all of your feelings into the kiss, only parting when oxygen becomes an issue.
The woman you have just kissed is about to speak when she is cut off by a familiar voice, one that you don’t need to see the owner of in order to know who it is.
“Fancy seeing you here” Jenni jokes
The euphoria that is consuming you soon perishes.
Aitana smile fades as the voices come closer to you. 
“That was some kiss” Lola teases you.
Still, your back faces the group of girls.
“Y/N” Carmen says barely a whisper.
Her innocent tone gets your attention and as you look at her you can see the guilt on her face.
“What are you doing here?” Aitana asks your friends a lot nicely that you would of.
“We were bored and heard this was a good place to visit” Jenni says.
Aitana begins telling her friends about the day you two have had. Her kindness is one of the things you liked most about her but in the moment you didn’t care for it. The Barcelona girls begin talking as if nothing is wrong but your team mates look at you waiting for you to talk. They thought it would be funny to surprise you but now they regretted the decision.
“Nice to see your promises hold no meaning” you tell your best friend.
You see V swallow deeply when she realises just how mad you are.
“We both made it clear that we wanted to spend the day alone, just the two of us yet here you are going against our wishes like our wants mean nothing” your voice holds no emotion.
“Y/N, we—“ 
You ignore Alexia. In a way you were disappointed in her most, you thought she would understand your need for privacy. It was something you both had in common.
“I don’t want to hear it” you tell the captain.
Aitana squeezes your hand getting your attention “let’s continue this somewhere else”
Too frustrated to talk, you only nod your head as you follow Aitana to the exit of the amusement park.
Your team mates stand there not knowing what to do. Whilst they knew it was a risk interrupting your date they didn’t think you would react like you did.
“Maybe this wasn’t a good idea” Jenni says.
“No shit” Alexia replies.
***************
Aitana drives you to her apartment. The two of you don’t speak but it is comfortable silence.
The Barcelona midfielder leads you into her living room. She takes a seat of her sofa hoping you would follow in suit, only you don’t. Instead you stare out of her window and at the busy streets of Barcelona.
“I’m sorry they ruined our date” you apologise even though it isn’t your place to do so.
You didn’t try to hide your disappointment. You knew that Aitana put a lot of thought into your date and it had gotten cut short.
“It isn’t ruined, just altered. The end is same though, I have you in my apartment”
You cannot help but laugh at Aitana’s bashfulness.
“Is that so?” 
Aitana nods as she pulls the hem of your t-shirt, leading you back to the sofa. She lets herself fall as you hover over her.
When she reaches up to kiss you, you waste no time in deepening the kiss. Your hands begin roaming her body when there is a knock at the door but have no interest it stopping but then a second knock follows.
Aitana caves before you as she gets in to answer the door.
She only opens it slightly given the she didn’t want whoever was on the other side to come in. You hear whispers then Aitana turns to look at you.
“You have got to be kidding me. I thought I made it clear at Tibado” you were more frustrated now than you were at the amusement park given what was happening minutes ago.
“Tell her we brought pizza” Carmen whispers.
“They brought pizza” Aitana does as she is told.
Now you wouldn’t say you could easily be bribed but your team mates knew you well. If they wanted something from you in the morning, they would bring you coffee and if it was in the evening, they would bring you food.
“Double pepperoni with stuffed crust?” You ask as you rest you chin on Aitana shoulder, inspecting the pizza boxes.
Carmen nods and it is only then to you realise is alone. 
“They sent you” the atleti defender nods.
“They are down the hall aren’t they” again Carmen nods.
You take the pizza from her as you close the door.
Aitana is shocked but when she sees you with wicked grin on your face she opens the door again telling Carmen to come in as she shouts for the others.
Your team mates enter, more takeout boxes in hand. Each apologising to you and Aitana as they enter.
After ten minutes or so all is forgiven and everyone had split of into their own conversations.
“Have you completed your checklist?” Alexia asks Aitana.
She shakes her head “One thing left”
“Why haven’t you asked her?” 
“What if she leaves again? Our friendship didn’t last before, what makes you think our relationship will?” Aitana watches as you laugh at some Jenni is telling you.
“Y/N isn’t going anywhere” Lola pipes in “She is signing at 4 year extension on Monday” 
“See, she came back to you once, she won’t leave again” 
Aitana just nods in agreement.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room you watch Aitana as she talks to Lola and Alexia. Although the day hasn’t gone as expected, it would still go down as a pretty good day.
“You’re day dreaming” Virginia says.
You can only smile “I’m not dreaming”
“So, have you asked her yet?” 
You shake your head.
“What are you waiting for? To be separated for another ten years?” V pokes your side.
“I would have done it earlier but we were interrupted by my promise breaking best friend” 
V holds her hands up in defeat.
“How about I get everyone out of here, would that make up for it?” V suggests.
“It’s a start” 
Without saying another word, V goes over to Carmen who manages to gather the group as they leave. So V’s way of making it up to you was getting Carmen to persuade everyone to leave, typical.
Now you have Aitana all to yourself, for how long, god only knew.
“I—“ you both says at the same time.
“You first” again you speak in unison.
“You planned today, you go first” you insist.
The look on Aitana’s face told you she was nervous for whatever she was about to say. You take her hand in yours as you sit down.
“Y/N” Her voice is quiet, almost like she is scared.
“T” you call her by her nickname hoping that would bring her some comfort and when you see her smile you consider your mission successful.
“I know we have only be on one date and you have only just come back into my life but I don’t want to waste anymore time. Will you be my girlfriend?” 
“I would love nothing more” 
Much to your surprise, Aitana lets out a huge sigh of relief, how could she ever think you would say no.
You kiss her gently “Want to want a movie?”
“How about we pick up where we left off, you know before we were rudely interrupted” Aitana raises her eyebrows playfully.
“Even better” the eagerness in your voice is evident.

Tumblr media
Morty's Birthday asks || Accepting !
@petalsxfallen sent: There she goes, just bursting in the living room. Eager grins and several wrapped gifts in hand. “Happy fucking birthday, dude! I want you to open these and then we’re going on an adventure to celebrate.” Said presents were various video games and comic books. Along with a cool leather jacket and fingerless gloves (for Morty)
Tumblr media
Birthdays had never been a big thing in their family, especially when it came to the youngest Smith. Summer had actual friends, so she got to have a little party with them or, nowadays, to go out to celebrate with them. Morty usually just had cake and presents at the house after dinner (or in the afternoon if it was the weekend), and that had always been it.
Things had changed a little after Rick had entered their lives, since the scientist had picked up the habit of taking him to cool places the night that preceded the actual birthday and then out again somewhere chiller once the family nightly celebration was over. Morty usually got a present to go with the trips, even if it was just something small.
For these reasons, the teen hadn't expected that year to be any different. So, when Petal barged into the living room like a hurricane, interrupting his idly channel zapping and raining a bunch of present over his head, the boy found himself beyond startled.
Tumblr media
"W-What the...?" Morty stuttered out, obviously caught off guard, his eyes growing wide firstly in alarm and then in shocked wonder as his eyes locked on the gifts.
His mouth hung open for a few moments, as he was left speechless. Not only he hadn't expected Petal to do more than wishing him a happy birthday, but they were more presents than he had ever gotten, on any birthday, counting all the ones his family had given him.
His chest felt a little tight and he swallowed, sincerely touched by the gesture. He knew that the two of them were friends, but he also knew how hard it was for the pearl to show that she cared about people. It was the reason why he was usually the one who mostly performed displays of friendship between the two. So, seeing her trying so hard made the gesture even more special.
"Oh g-geez, man, I-I..." He tried again, but the words kept failing him, even if now it was for a very different reason.
He picked up one of the comics and one of the games, to have a closer look. They were exactly the kinds he loved and they were newer editions of the ones he already had. Lately, since he was always busy with Rick, his time to play and read had been limited, so spending money on more stuff had seemed a little pointless. However, now that they had been gifted to him...it was different.
Tumblr media
"Y-You didn't have to, uh, go this overboard an-and...I...Thank you, P-Petal. These are...all great. A-Amazing. I-I wasn't expecting...you know. U-Usually no one really cares this much." Cue to an awkward chuckle. "I...I-It means a lot than you did all this j-just for me. Really. I-I suck at expressing it with words, b-but...I appreciate it. A lot. An-And I appreciate you...even more."
Setting the presents down, he stood up, a flash of nervous hesitance crossing his features before a determined expression replaced it. As quickly as he could he stepped into the pearl's personal space, wrapping his arms around her torso and giving her a very brief, but very tight hug.
Then, he immediately moved backwards, making sure to be out of Petal's current arm's reach. She wasn't a fun of physical affection, so he didn't want to risk it.
"Uh, y-yeah, let's go! I-I have to be home for dinner, b-because Mom is going to make my, uh, birthday meal. A-And a cake. Y-You should really stay and eat with us," he hurried to ramble, wanting to steer the focus away from the embrace. "B-But we have the whole afternoon and, uh, i-if we leave now, we can easily make it back! L-Let me just..."
His voice trailed off as he picked up the leather jacket and the gloves, taking a moment to slip them on. Since it was their adventure, it made sense to have matching styles. He also had the first blade that the Gem had gifted him already on him, so he was definitely ready to go.
"S-So, what did you have in mind?"

Saturday Rant…Davos, Kissinger and ‘Greta’ Gore
Tumblr media
The elites at the WEF conference in Davos revealed their true colors thanks to Kissinger and ‘Greta’ Al Gore. Huh? Kissinger – who’s best known as a peace maker – has done a 180 by saying that Ukraine should definitely join NATO. And Al “the North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of man-made global warming” Gore attempted his best Greta Thornburg “How Dare You” rant displaying his stupidity for the whole world to see. From his speech: Gore claimed that carbon emissions and greenhouse gases are trapping "as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth." Ironically (or NOT) he sounds just as stupid as he did 22 years ago.   Seriously, 600,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs exploding every single day? LMAO! What kind of drugs is this guy taking? With that in mind we’re turning today’s rant over to one of our favorite contributors, Scoob Martin. Take it away, Scooby…   James, I believe it was you who exposed to me a famous Kissinger quote regarding his true feelings about the military in the form of a meme;       Ever since then I’ve come to realize not only how creepy this man is, but what a hypocrite he is as well. And now he’s telling NATO that Ukraine should become a member which will ultimately result in the death of millions of Ukrainian citizens and soldiers. It was only a few months ago that the ‘peacemaker’ Kissinger told DC Warmongers that it’s “NOT WISE TO INCLUDE UKRAINE IN NATO.” So, what happened? Or should I say, Who Paid Him Off? This is just plain sickening.  But, then again, the elites in Davos make up the definition of sickening. And what about that ridiculous Al Gore’s unhinged Davos rant where he said man-made climate change is "boiling the oceans" and creating "rain bombs" and "atmospheric rivers" resulting in millions of "climate refugees".  Who, besides the elites, actually believes this crap? They even admit their agenda is all about a New World Order…and I’d love to tell them where to stick their New World Order. These people are desperately trying to impose their way on the world.  But as you’ve been saying:  “They will ultimately fail.” ***************************** Thanks, Scoob. And as usual your rants are always welcome here. As always, if you – our Dear Readers – have a rant you’d like to share then please send it to us. You never know whose life will be affected by it. And if you want to see some NSFW rants then go (HERE). Remember:  We’re Not Just About Finance. But we use finance to give you hope. ********************************* Invest with confidence.

Bondi Rescue: Episode 1
Tumblr media
It’s mid morning, and there are already thousands upon thousands of people flocking to Bondi Beach. A vast majority of the people are tourists, who only ever get to visit Bondi Beach once or once every summer. The summer is just kicking off, which means, the life guards will be on high alert during the days to come. [Y/N] and Jethro are stationed in the tower. [Y/N] was wearing a Bondi Lifeguard tank top 
Tumblr media
and high waisted bikini bottoms. 
Tumblr media
While the team often teases the couple, they both know when PDA is appropriate, and when it’s not appropriate. Work times, is one of those. 
“Jeff and I know when we can lovey dovey affection for each other and when not to. At work, we keep it some what professional.” [Y/N] said, smiling to the camera. 
“I’m just happy that she’s working with me and we’re not working two separate jobs to where we only get to see each other on the weekends. My only slight concern is her dad.” Jethro said. 
Today, there are only nine life guards to about two thousand five hundred people on the beach. The lifeguards, are stretched thin.
Along with Jethro and [Y/N], 34 year old Mario from Rome is in his second season at Bondi. He likes to practice most days with the jet ski, which is a critical rescue tool when rescue boards aren’t available or if there is a mass rescue. 
“Bondi central to South Bondi.” [Y/N] radioed in. 
Yeah go ahead Central. Quinn, a seasonal Lifeguard at Bondi responded. [Y/N] looked through the binoculars and spotted three swimmers caught in Backpacker’s Rip. 
“You’ve got three swimmers caught in Backpackers Rip near the south end. I don’t know how many others are on the beach, but you might want to get Mario in on the jet ski.” She radioed. 
Yeah. Copy that, mate. I’ll get Mario on it. Quinn responded. Jethro glanced over at his girlfriend. 
“I was about to call that one.” He said. [Y/N] chuckled and shook her head. 
“You better be quicker next time.” She said. Yatsey came to help as well. While Mario was on the jet ski, Quinn directed Mario, trying to identify which swimmer was in the most trouble. [Y/N] and Jethro kept a look out from the tower, making sure that this wouldn't become a mass rescue. The fun atmosphere in the tower quickly became tense as [Y/N] and Jethro realized there were too many swimmers for Mario to handle on his own. 
"Yatsey, Quinn, you two need to go in. Mario can't handle them all on his own." [Y/N] radioed the two lifeguards who were standing by incase something went wrong. 
Already on it. Thanks, [Y/N]. Quinn responded before getting on his board and paddling out to the swimmers in trouble. [Y/N] visibly relaxed as Yatsey and Quinn helped out. However, they weren't out of danger quite yet. 
"In these sort of situations, you really need to try and keep the patient calm and assure them that they are okay, because if the patient is panicking, then they can like, tip the rescue board and cling to the lifeguard instead, so then you have two lives at risk." [Y/N] said, putting the binoculars to her eyes again. Jethro sighed and rested his pair of binoculars against his forehead. 
"When you're in the tower, you can't help but feel helpless, you know? Like it's instinctual to rush out of the tower and go and help swimmers in need." Jethro said. He placed a comforting hand on [Y/N]'s knee, both of them relieved to see that everyone was okay, both swimmers and lifeguards alike. 
~~~~
A new day arrives at Bondi with more scorching heat. It's [Y/N]'s day off. While normally, most people would choose to catch up on all the sleep they can at home, [Y/N] chooses to come down to Bondi. She was wearing a flowery, off the shoulder top 
Tumblr media
and some ripped jeans. 
Tumblr media
"While I love to spend my time at my new apartment, I also just love spending time with the others. Jethro's working down at Tamara Beach, so I really wouldn’t be having any fun by myself at home. Plus, you never know when more people are going to be needed with rescues." [Y/N] said. She is in the tower with veteran lifeguard, Yatsey and new trainee Ryan, who just so happened to be Maxi's cousin. With scorching heat, comes more poor swimmers and more dangerous surfs. 
This area is way too dangerous for you to be swimming in. Please make your way back to the shore or swim in between the red and yellow flags. A life guard was trying to get swimmers to come between the red and yellow flags with the megaphone. Between the red and yellow flags are often the safest spot on Bondi for poor swimmers. 
Around 2 pm, Chappo has been patrolling for about three hours and wants a replacement. 
North Bondi to Tower. Chappo radioed. 
"Go ahead." Yatsey responded. 
Who you got up there now? Chappo asked. 
"I'm up 'ere with [Y/N] and Ryan." Yatsey replied, still keeping an eye on the sea of swimmers. (slight pun intended). 
Okay cool. Send one of 'em down, would you? Chappo requested. [Y/N] shot up. 
"I'll go!" She volunteered. Yatsey chuckled at her enthusiasm. 
"I appreciate the enthusiasm, [Y/N], but I'm gonna send Ryan down. Who knows, it might be good practice for him." Yatsey said. He looked over at Ryan. "Do you wanna just go down there?" He requested. Ryan nodded. 
"Yeah." He made his way down the stairs and towards Chappo. [Y/N] looked at Yatsey. 
"You know Ryan has never used the megaphone before, right?” She asked.  Yatsey sighed and shrugged. 
"We'll just have to see how it goes." He said. Ryan got down to the beach where Chappo was. 
“Just keep a close eye on either side. It’s really easy. You’ll be alright.” Chappo said, patting Ryan on the back and making his way back up towards the tower. Poor Ryan was left on his own with one megaphone, and over 100 swimmers swimming in potentially dangerous surfs. 
Attention all swimmers in front here! Guys, the conditions have started to become too dangerous! Ryan shouted over the megaphone. Ryan’s voice was quite soft and laid back compared to Chappo’s commanding voice just moments before. 
[Y/N] sighed, feeling bad for the new trainee. 
“You guys are so mean. He’s never done this before.” She said. 
I want everyone to come back to the beach for us! Ryan said, trying again. Once again, his words went ignored. 
[Y/N] sighed. 
“He’s having a go at the megaphone and he’s trying his best, but no one’s listening to him. I actually know where he’s coming from. I remember when I was first starting out, no one would really take me seriously, well, except for Jethro and my dad. So I kind of understand why he’s struggling.” [Y/N] said. 
“I don’t know if it’s the way he’s delivering it or what but it’s just not working.” Beardy said. Yatsey was looking through the binoculars, getting increasingly frustrated with the younger lifeguard. If Ryan couldn’t get the swimmers back to shore, then there could be more swimmers in trouble than the lifeguards could handle.  [Y/N] sighed and grabbed one of the radios and radioed into Ryan. 
“Ryan, can you try to get those people out there to the shore, now.” [Y/N] requested. Ryan was clearly getting frustrated. Everyone was counting on him to get these swimmers to safety and they weren’t listening to a thing he said. 
Yeah, copy. Any ideas on what you want me to say? Ryan radioed back. [Y/N] looked at Yatsey, Beardy and Jesse like Ryan had just asked her how to water a plant. 
“I mean, I can understand that he has no idea what to do since he’s never done this before, but I, I mean, I don’t know what to say. Half the time people don’t listen to me when I’m on the megaphone.” [Y/N] said.  She could tell that Yatsey was getting frustrated. They needed to get those people onto the shore and in between the flags as quick as possible. Yatsey had finally had enough and set down his binoculars. 
“I’m going down.” He said. [Y/N] sighed and looked after the man who had been like a second father to her since she started last year. She got up and followed after. She didn’t want Ryan to take this too personally. The question now is, should a new trainee be in this situation? [Y/N] didn’t think so. This was Ryan’s second day. He still had yet to prove he could perform a rescue. This was certainly going to be a long day.
~~~~
After helping out on the beach a little bit and performing some rescues, [Y/N] finally came home to her apartment that she shared with her boyfriend, who had yet to come home. [Y/N] was finishing up cooking dinner when the door to their apartment opened.
“Babe?” Jethro called out, placing his keys on the table next to the front door. Their apartment was still riddled with boxes from moving.
“In here, babe!” [Y/N] called. Jethro smiled tiredly and made his way over to the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around [Y/N]’s waist, pressing a kiss to her neck.
“Good evening, my beautiful lady.” Jethro greeted. [Y/N] chuckled and plated their dinner, turning off the burners.
“Good evening, my handsome man.” [Y/N] greeted. She placed the plates on the counter and turned around in Jethro’s grip, pressing a kiss to his lips.
“Mmm, how..was..your day?” Jethro asked between kisses. [Y/N] laughed l, pressing one more kiss to his lips before pulling away.
“It was fine. Poor Ryan had troubles with the megaphone and I had to help with some rescues.” She said. Jethro sighed.
“Babe, you have a day off for a reason. Take a break. Sleep in, be lazy. You’re not supposed to work on your days off.” Jethro said. [Y/N] often had a habit of overworking herself, which worried her boyfriend. [Y/N] sighed and pulled him into a hug.
“I know, babe. I’ll take a day off when I get another one. I promise.” She said. Jethro sighed.
“When are you going to tell your dad that we’ve moved in together?” He asked. [Y/N] tensed slightly.
“I’ll tell him tomorrow.”
~~~
Next time, on Bondi Rescue. [Y/N] starts to get a little frustrated with the tourists at Bondi getting caught in the rip, 
“You would think that after all the rescues we’ve had to perform today, people would finally start to realize that it isn’t safe to not swim outside of the flags.”
And she starts to prep her dad for the information he is about to receive. 
“Did you get evicted?”

Hey. You post a lot of great stuff about Carry On. Can you talk about the biting in AWTWB. The Baz/Simon scenes.Trying to wrap my head around it to understand why Simon did that. Why he bites Baz and keeps biting. Bites his fangs through his cheek. Is it because Simon wants to be bitten? That he wants Baz so much and Baz can't be harmed? I'm really trying to understand it but . . . what do you think?
Anon, thank you for this ask, and also for liking whatever I'm doing on my blog.
Can I talk about the biting? You bet I can!
Why does Simon bite Baz? Is it because he wants to be bitten? In a word, yes! But of course, there's a lot more to it than that. And this went off in another direction than I thought it would, so I hope you can stick with me on this journey! Under the cut because it’s a bit long.
There is a motif running throughout the trilogy of love being a consuming force. So much of Simon and Baz's identities are tied up in hunger very early on: Baz, as a vampire, constantly craving blood; Simon, as the Humdrum, constantly sucking up magic; both of them starved of love and intimacy. There's also a lot of fire imagery, going all the way back to when they first met, and fire is another consuming force.
Simon and Baz are obsessed with each other. The only thing they think about is each other. ("Trying not to think about you…S'like trying not to think about an elephant that's standing on my chest.") They are consumed and they want to consume, and, at least in Simon's case, they want to be consumed.
In WS, Simon reflects on misunderstanding his feelings for Baz prior to eighth year, and the way he does it has always stuck out to me: "I thought about him all the time. I missed him so much in the summer. (I thought I was just lonely. I thought I was hungry. I thought I was bored.)" The second item on that list is what catches my attention. Simon missed Baz and he thought he was hungry. I think it says a lot about how Simon's love for Baz feels if he mistakes it for actual hunger.
In the biting scene you mentioned, Simon says to Baz: "If it were me, if I were you…I'd drain you fuckin' dry, Baz, and it still wouldn't be enough." That's intense. And it's absolutely Simon. We know how much hunger he's capable of; his hunger was so potent, it became a whole other being! I've long maintained that his hunger for magic is a metaphor for his hunger for love. Because Simon is so full of love, and just utterly bereft of people to give it to, and once he has people to love, he doesn't know how to do it without also hurting them. He's never had good relationship modeling. (He thinks Baz should know he loves him because of how many things he's killed for him.—He thinks about teaching Baz how to break someone's neck like it's a fun couples' activity.—He gets turned on by killing things and watching Baz kill, too.—Date night is helping Baz hunt down rats.) Simon is a mess. He wants to love so badly, but he just doesn't know how to do it. ("Is this what people do?")
Simon loves Baz so much, he can't fathom ever getting enough of him. Ever being able to consume enough of him. He can't stop biting and smelling and grabbing because he wants more, more, more. He fits his teeth over Baz's old scars because he needs to claim him—make his own mark on Baz, possess him.
Part of this, as you said, is the fact that Baz is a vampire. Baz can take the roughness (which is not to say that he should just because he can). Simon's fixation on Baz's vampirism, which used to play out as paranoia, has changed into a desire to be bitten. Simon is thinking about Baz's vampirism, thinking about draining Baz dry if he were the vampire, and Baz, the human.
The other part of this is that Simon is unfettered, but really only in the aggressive, physical sense. He's long hidden his desires behind aggression without realizing that's what he was doing. (In CO: "I just want to run him down and knock him over and figure it all out." In AWTWB: "I wanted to jump on you, I didn't really think past that.") He doesn't know how to be unfettered in the vulnerable, emotional sense, and that's what keeps him from being able to be intimate with Baz. ("I don't know how, Baz…To get enough.")
Simon desperately wants to have sex with Baz. Which is what he's trying to do in the biting scene, but all of his desires are warring for control, and he can't sort out what he wants, and what he should be doing in that moment, with Baz.
What this is all leading me to may be a bit off topic, but I think it's all tied up in Simon's head.
Simon doesn't know how to be gentle.
His hunger and his desire for Baz have never been gentle. It's aggression, it's violence, it's possession; it's a forest fire, it's not a hidden waterfall.
Simon has never learned how to be at peace. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Rainbow said she made Simon "fight of flight"—literally, he has wings! There's a reason that Simon couldn't handle the inaction at the beginning of CO and before the events of WS. There's a reason that Penelope thought that they were "being lulled" because there was no war actively being waged. There's a reason Penelope tells us in WS: "Lesson learned: Relaxation is the most insidious humdrum." These are characters who are so traumatized by childhoods being foot soldiers in a war waged by the adults they trusted, they don't know how to live without fighting! They don't know how to live in peace.
We all have "I can touch you less gently, but I won't love you less kindly" burned into our eyeballs by now, but let's move earlier in that conversation to what sparks this: "What if I asked you to be less kind to me?" —What if I asked you to be less kind to me?— Simon doesn't feel comfortable with Baz's kindness or gentleness, because it "makes me feel like I'm being turned inside out. Like I need to get away." Let's sit with this for a bit. Baz's loving touches make Simon want to run because they're kind and gentle and he doesn't know what to do with kind and gentle. His mind isn't programmed for kind and gentle.
It makes complete sense that Simon would show Baz affection in a way that Simon understands, considering, as I said before, that he hasn't had anyone in his life to show him a healthy way to do this. What does Simon most want from Baz? Love. What does Simon understand love to be? Consumption. He wants roughness and aggression, he wants the inferno, because these are things he understands.
Simon wants Baz's teeth, so he gives Baz his teeth.
This is how Simon feels comfortable. I made this post while processing my feelings about AWTWB. It talks about Simon trying to love Baz the way he wants to be loved, and Baz trying to love Simon the way he wants to be loved. They want to give each other everything, but they haven't actually communicated their needs to one another, and that's what keeps them from being able to work through their problems. It isn't until they voice their needs that they're able to be intimate. This is what I'm really trying to get at here.
"Is this what people do?" Simon asks, over and over again. When Simon was in therapy, he learned a technique to break up "life into bites you can swallow". He tells us he's doing this again in AWTWB "because [the future] is too terrifying. Too uncertain. There are parts of it that are too bright." —There are parts of it that are too bright.— Simon doesn't know how to be happy. He doesn't know how to cope with happiness. "Is this what people do when they're in love? Do they just keep touching and talking? And then what? Like what is it all leading to? I don't mean sex, I mean… If I knew what I meant, it wouldn't be so frightening." When Simon is having all these overwhelming feelings about his future with Baz, they're on the Tube, and Simon sees a guy giving him and Baz "a dirty look". He interrupts his introspective on therapy to tell us that he wants the guy to cause trouble "because I would dearly love to punch something right now. That's a decision I could wrap my brain around." He can wrap his brain around punching someone, but not around a bright future with the man he loves.
Simon doesn't know how to be at peace. He doesn't know how to be in love. He doesn't know how to be happy. I think this is what we're seeing at play when he bites Baz. He wants something so badly, but he doesn't know what it is, can't articulate it, can't get at it. In a way, when he bites Baz, Simon is trying to ask for what he wants, without words, and without really knowing what it is that he does want.
He can't figure out how to let himself be happy and feel good while being happy. He can't stand gentleness, or softness. In his head, he can't give that to Baz, because he can't handle it himself.
So, yes, Simon bites Baz because he wants to be bitten. And he bites Baz because he knows Baz can handle it. And he bites Baz because there's an emptiness inside of him that he's still trying to fill, and he doesn't understand how to do that. Someday, he will fill it. He and Baz are going to figure that out together.
I hope this makes sense. With your indulgence, Anon, I'm going to tag in @theflyingpeach who is all around brilliant, and I know has their own thoughts about this scene (and demon Simon 👀👀👀) that I would like to see more of. 🥰
A follow up to this ask can be found here.

Your public display of affection
Pairing: JJ x Reader
Word Count: 1.6k
Summary: He really wants to test your sense of adventure on this ferry ride.
Warnings: Smut, public sex
Available on: AO3
Part of: Passion lies in screams of ecstasytic dreams
Tumblr media
“I’ve got an idea,” he whispered into your ear, sitting next to you, nuzzling your neck.
You were, in the back of Mr. Heyward’s truck that you...borrowed. Pope and Kie were up front, bickering about something, John B and Sarah were supposed to meet you at the beach later this evening, leaving all the preparations to you.
It was John B’s birthday and you really wanted to get him a nice present, so you decided to take the ferry to the next big town, grab something really cool that he wouldn’t expect and then drive right back.
You barely had made it onto the ferry, it was packed with cars but for once, you got lucky.
“What is it?” You turned your head to look at your boyfriend who was grinning from ear to ear. You knew that grin, something dirty was going through his mind at this very moment.
An eyebrow wiggle was the only answer you got before he grabbed the blanket next to you in one hand, patting on his lap with the other.
Playing along, you sat down on his lap and he wrapped the blanket over you two, making you feel loved and comfortable. There was quite the breeze out here on the water, so it wasn’t too strange to use a blanket.
People were mingling around you, getting out of their cars to check the water and waves, getting back in, some kids were running around but mostly teenagers and adults. It was summer after all, one of the busiest times in these areas.
You felt how his arms wrapped around you from behind, causing you to lean back into his chest, snuggling a little closer.
Suddenly his hands moved under your shirt, starting to grope your breasts for a moment. You gasped and the unexpected touch and leaned a bit to the side so you could look into his eyes.
“Trust me, darling,” he murmured and smiled at you when his hands went down to pull your shorts down, letting them rest at your knees.
A blush painted your face, not really sure what to think about all of this. You were in a public place, the blanket just needed to fly away by a gust of wind and everyone would see your exposed lower parts.
You had to bite your bottom lip to keep a moan from escaping when he shoved your panties aside to run a finger through your folds. Lust was building up inside your body, a surge of heat running through you.
“Oh god,” you whined quietly, everyone around you so close. He just chuckled next to your ear, the rumbling in your chest only turning you on more.
“Yes, my love?” The blonde boy brushed his lips against your cheek, causing you to shudder slightly.
Two fingers were pumping in and out of you, turning you on more and more. You had a hard time to keep still, just wanting to squirm in his grasp but he had wrapped his left arm tightly around you.
“What are you even doing?” You asked, still surprised by the whole thing. It wasn’t something you had done before. In private, sure but in public? This close to people? No way to hide in shame if someone caught you?
It was arousing and scary at the same time. The thought of being watched and caught in the act. It did something with you that you couldn’t explain. Excitement and shame mixed together.
“Trying something new. Where’s your sense of adventure?” His voice was low, barely more than a whisper, lust dripping from every word just like you were dripping on his fingers, coating them with your wetness.
He pulled his fingers out, wiping them on your inner thighs that were covered by the blanket before you could feel him shift under you, moving the two of you up a bit, his eyes darting left and right if anyone was watching at the moment.
When he felt safe you could feel that he pulled his cargo pants and boxer shorts to his knees, sitting back down. His skin was heated against yours and you swallowed hard when his dick pressed against you from behind, already hard and ready to claim you, right here, with everyone around.
He took a moment to simply rub himself against your skin. For everyone else it would look like a cute couple cuddling in the back of the truck. No one would expect anything that was going on under the blanket.
“Come have a seat,” he snickered into your ear and without even a question you obliged, shifting under the blanket to sit down on his dick.
Your body tensed when you felt the hot tip pressing against you, your eyes also on the lookout that no one would catch you or even just get the idea what might be going on.
“We don’t have all day, darling.” With those words he grabbed your hips and pushed them down on his length, causing you to gasp in surprise, almost moaning a little too loud.
You covered your mouth with both of your hands to keep it inside but that would already look quite weird if someone was watching you right now.
“My, my. You have to be quiet.” This was amusing him way too much so you clenched your thighs, causing it to grow tight around him which almost made him moan.
“You really need to stop talking,” you whispered a little more aggressively and he grabbed your hips again, the grip almost bruising.
JJ slowly started to move his hips and you leaned back into him, trying to look like you were just relaxing in his arms. Thanks to the breeze, the moving blanket didn’t look too suspicious but you were sure if someone would actually pay attention to you two, they would figure it out.
“Fucking shit, babe. You’re so wet and slippery, you’re really enjoying this.” He stated it as if it was a matter of fact. Your mind was still trying to deny it but the mix of risk and pleasure was something that got you going. You didn’t even know until now.
Your nipples were straining against your shirt, his hands resting on your stomach now, trying to stay as calm as possible while he was moving inside of you, tickling all the right spots.
“Answer me,” he purred into your ear. “Tell me how much you like to be fucked in public.”
You bit down on your bottom lip, swallowing hard at his words, another surge of heat running through your body. It was already bad enough and yet he turned you on even more.
A quick, rough snap of his hips let you know he wasn’t pleased with you not answering. “Come on. I want to hear how you love doing this. All those people around you, me buried deep inside your sweet little cunt.” He nuzzled your neck with his nose, licking your skin briefly. “Tell me that the idea of this excites you. I can already feel it but I want to hear it from your mouth.”
You swallowed down another moan that almost escaped you, closing your eyes to take in a deep breath. “I love it,” you said quietly but he just growled. “I love the idea of getting caught.”
“That’s my good girl.” He kissed your neck before picking up the pace a little, one hand moving to your bundle of nerves between your legs, rubbing them. 
Your eyes opened and you looked around again, the pleasure almost unbearable. Normally you were a moaner, quite loud and he wasn’t a quiet one either. You were surprised he was able to keep it together so well while you were literally fighting with yourself.
A knock on the glass behind you caused both of you to stop in your movements before you heard Pope’s voice.
“Hey lovebirds! We’re almost there, get ready!”
“Alright, thanks bud!” JJ called back to him before turning to you, a cheeky grin on his lips.
“Oh god, what now?” You asked him and he started rubbing your clit again.
“I want you to come at least,” he whispered and your body tensed, his dick starting to slide in and out of you again.
“We’re in public!” You hissed at him, louder than you expected and you groaned in annoyance of yourself. At the same time you also felt that you were getting closer to your orgasm.
“So? You love it.” He was right about that and he knew it. You hated it.
You leaned back against him, trying to calm your breathing but that didn’t even work anymore as he picked up the pace, rubbing your clit more forcefully and just the way you showed him. Just the way you liked it.
“Fuck, JJ,” you moaned as quiet as possible, feeling his dick twitch at your words. 
It only took a few more seconds until you fell apart around him, squeezing him right and he groaned in your ear, making you shiver.
Your body was shaking, your breath erratic and fast until you were slowly coming down from your high. He was still inside of you, still hard and it was making the whole thing of calming down really hard.
As if he sensed it, he laughed softly against your neck. “Don’t worry about me. We’ll have more time later to finish this. Maybe on the ride back already.”
Just the mere idea of it sent excitement straight to your core.

Pairing: Alpha!Bokuto Kōtarō x F!omega reader
Genre: A/B/O AU 🐾 | Smut, 18+ // minors DNI!
WC: 3,057
Tumblr media
My whole body was shivering despite it being a sweltering sunny day, my mind was hazy and clouded with the need to submit to an Alpha. 
To be overtaken, pounded into until I was a dumb mess of omega mush and knotted until I was fat with pups.
Fucking hormones and omega instincts.
Fucking expired heat suppressants.
Stupid fucking idiot me for not noticing until it was too late.
My rational mind fought off the swarm of nuisance thoughts as I hurried my way back to my apartment carefully avoiding anyone’s gaze, suffocating my scent glands in a thick hooded sweater and scarf I had kept at the bakery for the unexpected colder days. It didn’t do much to ward off the curious glances and sniffs from the passing Alphas and others on the street, but luckily none acted on instincts, I didn’t stick around long enough to trigger anything in them.
My thighs were sticking together uncomfortably beneath my summer dress as the slick pooled in my panties and ran down the sides. The friction against my sensitive core only added to the ache, and I had to fight every ounce of instinct in me to hold back the whimpers, to not just fall on the ground and present myself to the next suitable Alpha that crossed my path.
I just needed to get home unscathed and get on my pharmacy app to order a fresh batch of suppressants, wait out a week for them to take full affect and I’ll be good to return to my normal, uncomplicated life.
I had been lucky in avoiding anymore people. No one was waking along the final stretch that led to my apartment building; a high-rise nestled just outside of the main district of downtown but still fairly luxurious for an apartment building. After a rough time in my earlier years out on my own, I decided once my bakery was successful enough I would splurge and put myself in a comfortable apartment with extra building security for my own peace of mind. I made my way to the door where the Beta doorman was waiting with it open for me, smiling until he caught the edge of my currently overwhelming scent.
“Quick, quick in miss Y-N,” Ferris ushered me through the door and shut it behind us. Walking me to the empty elevator and pushed my floor, nearly the top, at 27 of 35. “You shouldn’t be out wandering around in such a state, it isn’t safe for you!” The older man patted my hands in his with a worried expression. I just smiled and nodded along to his worrying over me.
“I know Mr. Ferris,” I sighed, “there was an unfortunate mishap with my medication so I’m gonna be staying cooped up for a bit.” He just nodded and ushered me along, and I gave a small wave and smile as the doors closed and he gave me one final wave off. I sighed, releasing the death grip I had on the jacket around me, still covering my scent glands as best as I could, but not with so much force around my throat. I’m surprised I didn’t pass out from self-asphyxiation on the way home.
After a few minutes in the elevator my floor was finally reached with a gentle ding! and I was hurrying out into the hall to make sure I was alone. With no one around I felt safe enough to walk briskly to my apartment without any further paranoia. I was reaching my door, just about to press in my key code and slink into a week of needy depression when I heard the door slighty adjacent to mine across the hall open behind me. 
My whole body froze like a bunny caught in a wolf’s gaze.
Fuck.
“Hey hey hey, my sweet little Y/N!” A bright, jovial baritone rang out behind me, and soon I felt the looming presence of the man I feared most coming into contact with at this very moment right at my back. The immense heat radiating off of him in waves with his sweet, clean scent with mint, along with a headier male musk underneath. “You’re home early! Sorry to be a pest but did you bring any pastries home with you? I have such an awful craving right now and-” my kind, handsome neighbor regarded me silently, and what I didn’t see were his sweet golden eyes darkening to a dangerous lustful shade as he leant forward and took a gentle sniff in. A ragged breath leaving his chest as he inched forward just enough for me to feel his clothing ghosting against my back. “Y/N? Are you okay? You smell.... you s-smell so good. Different,” he slurred behind me, leaning down to rub his cheek against the top of my head and nose my hair as he took in deeper breaths. I was completely frozen, in fear or need... I couldn’t decide.
Maybe both.
When my neighbor let out a deep, rumbling groan from inside his chest I leant more towards need in my current aching state as I instinctively pressed my body back against his. “Y-Y/N you shouldn’t be out right n-now in your state s’not safe y’know...” his voice trailed off, a pained mixture of a whimper and a growl leaving his chest as I reached forward and punched in my key code to my apartment.
“Ko,” I heard the Alpha behind me purr as his name slipped from my mouth, my voice and body trembling. “I had a bit of a setback as you can tell, so no pastries today,” the whimper that left him made my cheeks warm because it wasn’t hormonal, it was just Bokuto being a pouty baby who wanted a soft bread or sweet cake.
“Mm s’okay Y/N...” Bokuto’s voice trailed off as he placed his large hands on my hips, palms swallowing my sides and pressing tightly into the plush flesh, fingers gripping down with a bruising force. He was leaning forward and placing soft kisses along my shoulder and up my neck until he licked a small strip up along where my scent glands were and I couldn’t stop the full-body shudder than shook me. “D-do you want me to stop?” His voice was a whisper, still heavy with need but more Bokuto than Alpha was talking to me. I shook my head, stepping into my apartment and allowing the Alpha to come in with me, slipping out of our shoes in a tangled mess of legs, and laughing as Bokuto hastily locked the door behind him.
“I know we’re both kind of teetering on the edge of control right now,” Bokuto continued gently, hands still gripping my sides tightly as he allowed me to set my things down on the bench in my entryway. A low growl leaving him when I almost slipped out of his hold. “But I need to know it’s not just your omega pushing you into this Y/N. I’ve admired you since I first met you, wanted you,” Bokuto was peppering my neck and the side of my face with butterfly kisses, “but if you tell me to stop, to leave... I will. Nothing will change between us if you put up a boundary for yourself right now but everything will change for the worse if you force yourself into something you don’t want...” I couldn’t believe the articulated thoughts of pure, sweet kindness coming out of Bokuto’s mouth but I was so happy to hear them. I’ve had such a huge crush on my long-time Alpah neighbor since he came knocking on my door one late evening when I was testing recipes, a mess of apologies and need as he caught a whiff of the new cakes I was trying to perfect and the poor thing had just returned home from an away game with his volleyball team, starving and exhausted. He spent the night giving me feedback on my testers and I let him sugar-crash on my couch, waking him up with a healthier breakfast more suitable for an athlete in the morning. 
We’ve been close since that day.
Well, close but not as close as right now... despite the aching deep in me that always welled up inside whenever we spent time together. My omega whimpering at how perfect of an Alpha Bokuto would be.
“Y/N?” Bokuto was asking once again, I could feel his hands shaking as his control over his instincts began to slip. 
I simply nodded.
“Y-yes Ko,” I swallowed hard when his hands gripped tighter on my hips, crushing me further against him as his arms snaked up my body to wrap me in a tight hold from behind. “I want this - I’ve wanted this, w-wanted you...” I couldn’t form full thoughts, not like he deserved to hear but we were both in a compromising state of mind right now. “P-please Alpah, need you so badly,” that was all it took to have me turned around so fast in his arms, his lips crashing against mine in a mess of teeth and saliva as pure need took over us both. One of his hands was fisted in the hair at the back of my head, the other cupping the side of my throat, his thumb stroking along my jaw as he deepened the kiss like he was trying to crawl inside my body through my mouth. 
He was pushing me back toward my couch, his hands now fumbling behind me to pull the zipper of my dress and have the fabric pooling to the ground. He growled into my mouth as he hooked two fingers in the hem of my lace panties to pull them down and off while his other hand guided me down softly onto the couch. He had me draped over the arm of the sectional as he layed down between my legs, I was able to peek open my heavy eyes in time to see the primal look on his face before he licked his lips and leant down to lick a long strip up my soaked pussy, the sensation sending electric shocks through my whole body as I arched off the couch with a yelp.
Bokuto let out a deep, rumbling growl with a whisper of “so sweet,” before diving back in and devouring my sopping pussy like a man starved. His mouthed latched around my swollen clit with a pressure that had me seeing stars as he suddenly plunged two thick fingers into me, curling upward against my sticky walls, quickly bringing me to the edge. He didn’t relent his assault on me, mouth staying locked on and fingers curling cruelly as my body shook and arched up off the couch with a shrill scream, my whole body convulsing with wave after wave of electric pleasure shocks. Bokuto removed his fingers slowly and licked them clean, blowing a cool stream of air against my sensitive clit, causing me to whimper in his hold as he delved his tongue into me to lap up more of my slick. I was a whimpering mess above him, wriggling to be free of the stimulation to the newly over-sensitive area but he kept his pink muscle deep in my pussy as his nose occasionally brushed up against my clit causing my hips to buck further against his face. The groans he was letting out were downright sinful and soon had me back on the precipice of another impending orgasm. Bokuto reached one hand up to thumb circles on my clit as he kept himself deep in my pussy, soon I was bucking up against his face as another heavy wave crashed down on me. I was panting and swearing and pleading to be released because the pleasure was stating to morph with a tinge of pain as he kept up the relentless assault.
“K-Ko please no more,” I was whining above him, my chest heaving with broken breaths. Bokuto’s mouth was shiny with my slick as he crawled up my body and crashed his lips down on mine. I could taste myself on his tongue, in combination with feeling his still-clothed cock straining against his joggers, had me mewling with need and bucking up to meet his bulge.
“You say no more but your body is begging for me,” Bokuto muses. “Do you want me to stop?” His golden eyes were looking down at me, dark and swirling with lust as a beautiful half-smile graced his face. I shook my head and he just chuckled. “Use your words baby, ask for what you want,” he cooed, leaning down to pepper kisses and gentle nips along the side of my neck, stopping to suck on a particular spot once my let out a gasp and wriggled beneath his large body caging me in.
“Mmphf, p-please Ko, Alpha, need you,” my cheeks were burning but I didn’t care, my whole body was on fire for the man on top of me, crying out to him for any crumb he’d give me, “need your cock-mm-need to feel so full with you please Alpha, please,” Bokuto crashed his lips back down against mine with an urgent need while he ground his hardened cock against my slick-covered core, the friction of the fabric bringing another whine from my throat.
“How can I say no to such a pretty omega begging to be knotted, hm?” Bokuto was nuzzling down into the crook oh my neck, “pretty omega, perfect omega, my omega.” I didn’t realize when he had shimmied out of his joggers but soon I felt the large tip of his cock pressing into my hole, even with two orgasms and the slight stretch from his fingers earlier it still burned so wonderfully to be full of Bokuto’s cock, every inch of his cock catching on my walls and dragging new sensations forward as I clawed at his back, wrapping my arms and legs around him in an attempt to be closer to him, to pull more of him inside of me. “Such a needy slut for her Alphas cock, hmm?” I nodded my head so vigorously, rolling my hips to coax the man above me into moving. “Poor thing, I’ll give you everything you need...” with a quick snap of his muscled hips, his thick cock was driven deep, the head pummeling against my cervix with blinding pressure as he slammed his hips over and over into me, heavy balls slapping against my slick-coated ass sending shivers up my spine. “Fuck, ‘mega, you’re so tight-fuck- so fucking perfect, so perfect for me.” Bokuto was all bared teeth and snarls above me, leaning down to kiss and bite over his earlier marks along my neck. I craned my neck, exposing more of myself to his assault as he kept up the brutal pace inside of me. It didn’t take long before I was crying out with the sudden hit of an orgasm I didn’t even feel the buildup to, the walls of my pussy were sucking a Bokuto in deeper with each of his thrusts, and soon I could feel the way his hips stuttered, sloppy and less practiced. I didn’t realize his teeth were on me, biting deep into the flesh of my neck where my scent glands were, blood spilling out of the wound and into his mouth and down my neck and chest as Bokuto marked me as his, licking one long, final strip up my neck across the wound, sealing it.
There was a final quick snap of his hips, until Bokuto’s large knot stretched me with a burn that had me whimpering, gasping when it popped through the small opening of my pussy, slick helping to coax it inside as my walls clamped down on him and his knot further in another orgasms as he emptied ropes of hot, white cum deep inside of me. The continued short, sharp thrusts Bokuto made as he continued to empty himself inside of me brought on one more orgasm, my whole body siezing and shaking, walls clamping down around the fleshy member knotted inside of me, my chest was heaving with deep breaths as my eyes edged with black and every small twitch Bokuto made inside of me had me crying out - with pleasure or pain or both - I couldn’t tell. He leant down to scoop me up, our bodies still connected as he sat down on the catch and allowed me to stradle his lap, nestling me tightly against his chest as he kissed my hair and whispered such sweet things to me over and over, petting my hair, my face, peppering kisses along my cheek, jaw, down my throat and to my shoulder, gliding over the mark he made earlier with a gentle ghost of a kiss. My whole body felt like a live-wire ready to make contact with the wrong type of metal at any given moment, but Bokuto kept rubbing small patterns over my exposed skin, kneading his fingers deep into muscles I didn’t realize were sore, kissing un-kissed inches of skin over and over until he felt me relax in his arms, felt my body droop with exhaustion as I rested my head on his shoulder, snuggling into the crook of his neck as I bit back into him, giving him a small omega mark. Bokuto shuddered beneath me, gripping me tighter as I licked up the blood and kissed over the already-healing mark, nuzzling back into him.
“Y/N~” Bokuto said in a whisper sing-song voice, shaking me gently, “I think we can separate now baby,” he said, trying to lift me off of him gently.
“Mm, no Ko,” I grumbled, a gentle growl leaving my throat, “wanna stay like this  a little longer.” Bokuto just nodded, rubbing my back and resting his head on my shoulder.
“Yeah, a little longer baby,” he mused, “but then can you bake me something?”
You just shook your head, your body shaking with held-in laughter as you agreed to bake him as many sweets as he wanted just as soon as you could walk. Bokuto offered to do all the heavy lifting if you just told him what to do - and you relished in the idea of sharing the kitchen with Bokuto - with your Alpha.
What a sweet start to something beautiful.
