You really think I’d ever let anyone say anything bad about you? - EXPLICIT

Summary: Colby and you had been friends for years, best friends even, and one night everything changed when he turned up at your door after bumping into your ex and ending up in an altercation...

Not edited.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

You laid on your bed happily scrolling through TikTok as your favourite show was playing softly in the background. It was rare you spent Saturday nights in as you usually ended up going out or to a party with your friends. But tonight you decided to skip the shots and dancing, and to have a nice self care night. During the night you'd showered, shaved everywhere and completed a nice facial routine followed by a face mask. And now you sipped on a glass of wine, your candles lit as you felt so much contentment for a moment. You just hoped that once everyone hit the town you didn't get FOMO from all the photos.

Suddenly you jumped out of your skin as there was soft, almost weak sounding knock on your door. You looked at your phone and it was 11pm. "Who the hell is that?" You mumbled quietly to yourself. You stood up heading over to the door before leaving the chain on and opening it ever so slight. As the door inched open your heart sank as you saw Colby, using both of his hands against your door frame his head down slightly as he breathed kind of heavily.

"Colby?" You said quietly as you closed the door undoing the chain and opening it once again wider. "Colby what are you-"

Suddenly Colby lifted his head to reveal a small gash on his forehead, his eye already beginning to swell, a burst lip and bruising starting to form on both of his cheeks. Your heart sank as you swung the door fully open.

"Colby what the fuck happened?!" You said as he suddenly grabbed your shoulder for stability so he could step inside of your apartment.

"Oh just uh... just a slight alteration nothing... ow.. too serious." He said and he winced slightly with every step towards your sofa, where you guided him before slowly lowering him down.

"And why haven't you gone to urgent care?" You said your voice filled with worry and concern.

Colby glanced over at you as you grabbed a kitchen towel, wetting it slightly before handing it to him. His eyes wandered up and down your body as you headed for your first aid kit, "now why would I do that, when I know you always.. ow... keep butterfly stitches in your little first aid box." He said with a slight chuckle pressing the towel to his the split on his head.

You rolled your eyes as you sighed, "are you drunk?" You asked immediately, your natural caring side coming out.

"Nope, not a bit. I was only out for 20 before I... well before this." Colby said from the sofa as you returned, nothing but worry etched across your face. As his eyes met yours he felt his heart fluttered slightly as he swallowed hard. Even with all the pain he was feeling, seeing you just made it slip away... well mostly.

You sat down beside him as the sight of him was breaking your heart. You took out some rubbing alcohol and cotton pads as you soaked them. You looked at Colby who was staring at you intently, but the look in his eyes was different than any you've ever seen from him before. You coughed nervously as you took a deep breath, "you ready? Cause this is gonna hurt like a bitch."

Colby looked at you for a moment before he too took a deep breath as he nodded nervously. He pulled the towel away as he braced himself, "just do it.... Ah." He said letting out a little nervous squeal as you couldn't help but laugh.

"I haven't touched you yet!" You laughed.

"I know I know, just... just do it!" He chuckled back nervously as he shut his eyes tight.

You giggled once again as you wasted no time before pressing the soaked in alcohol cotton pad against the gash on his head.

"Ahhh, fuck!" He groaned out as you laughed.

You continued to clean the cut as you spoke, "oh come on, stop being a big baby."

After a moment Colby relaxed slightly getting used to the pain as you cleaned all the wounds around his face. He turned to look at you as you slowly dabbed on his injuries, your heart hurting with each one. He wanted to reach out, to touch you, to tell you why he actually came here tonight. But he refrained, although every instinct in his body was screaming him, to pull in close and tell you how he feels, how he has felt for a while now. Damn, watching you take of him like this was making it all the more harder for his to hold back.

Suddenly you broke him out of gaze as you spoke softly, "Colbs... what happened?" As you spoke Colby could hear the concern and worry in your voice.

He sighed as he looked at your concentrated face, "it's... it's not big deal honestly.. just had an uh... disagreement with somebody." He said nervously.

You could tell he was hiding something but the tone of his voice as you stopped for a moment giving him a look, "Colby..."

Colby sighed again taking a deep breath as he looked up at the ceiling. You began to fish out your butterfly stitches. After a moment Colby spoke again, "it... I uh... I saw David..." he said nervously as he didn't look at you.

"David?..." you said immediately as confusion filled your mind, "as in... my.. ex David?"

Colby sighed again, the irritation returning to his voice, "yep.. this the one."

You turned Colby's face to look at you as you frowned, "David.. David did this to you?" You said both worried and angry as you began to apply the butterfly stitches.

"Well yeah but... you should see him." Colby smirked at you but that smile slowly dropped when you didn't smirk back.

"Why thought Colby? W-what happened?" You said as you continued to patch him up.

Colby looked at you, the care in your eyes as you gently touched his face. Each brush of your fingers made his heart pound and his breath shake ever so slightly. "Because... because of you."

You froze, your eyes falling wide as you looked at him, "I'm sorry what?... what the hell did I do?!" You said with a slight panic in your voice as you pulled up slightly.

"No no, you didn't do anything.." Colby said with a chuckle as he suddenly grabbed your wrist. "He... he was such a dick, y/n... and you... you always deserved better than him." Colby spoke as you lowered your arms slowly looking at him, your face relaxing slightly. Colby continued, "Sam and I literally just arrived at a club in downtown Hollywood, and there he was... didn't take him long to notice us and just had to come and fill us in on all the 'terrible' things about you." Colby sighed again as u glanced into your eyes. "But you..." he said lifting his hand to gently touch your jaw. "You're far from terrible."

Your breath caught in your throat as his fingers grazed along the edge of your face. You swallowed hard as you'd dreamed of how this could feel, but never thought you'd get to experience it with how close you are. "But... but why did you.. fight?" You spoke, your voice low and shaking slightly.

Colby glanced into your eyes as his hand slowly moved to cup your face. You looked as his swollen and bruised, stitched up face as you tilted your head slightly. Colby lips curled up into smirk, "you really think I'd ever let anyone say anything bad about you?" You inhaled sharply as he continued, "you are the best damn person, friend I've ever known... and by far the sexiest." He said as you chuckled nervously.

"Well I wouldn't say that-"

"Y/n... I... I gotta tell you something." He cut you off his heart pounding.

You looked at him nervously as you nodded and he winced slightly as he sat up further turning his body to face you on the sofa.

He paused for a moment as his thumb rubbed small circles on your cheek, "I... I don't know when it happened, and I don't remember how or why... but I can't stop thinking about you..." your heart pounded as you froze, but Colby wasn't finished, "and tonight... when I was in pain and filled with anger, the only place I wanted to be and needed to be... was with you."

Your eyes widened as you felt your body tensing, your skin raising goosebumps at his touch. The way his eyes stared right into yours even with the swelling. "Colby...." You whispered.

"Y/n..." he whispered back as a smirk tugged at his lips.

"I...I-" you tried to speak but you felt so lost for words.

Colby's smirk dropped slightly, "have I freaked you out? Oh god.. I'm sorry, I just..."

"No no Colbs... you didn't well.. you kinda did.. but not in a bad way I just..." you melted into Colby's gaze once again. "I'm just... we've been friends for so long Colby and I don't want to-"

"I'm sorry y/n..." he cut you off as you stuttered, he brought up both his hands as he cupped either side of your face. "I can't be your friend..."

Your heart sank as he spoke, for a moment you couldn't see the smile forming on his face.

"I can't be friends with someone I am completely and utterly falling for..." the way Colby's voice turned serious but filled with so much emotion made stomach do a somersault.

"Colby I..." you tried to speak but Colby cut you off once more.

"Hey hey listen.. before you make any decisions because I know... our friendship means more to me than anything... but just please... give me one night to prove you, just how serious I am..." he said his eyes darting across your face.

As you tried to hold it together, the sincerity in his voice and the way his hands still remained touching your face made you melt. You couldn't refrain anymore. You suddenly leaned forward crashing your lips onto his in a deep and passionate kiss.

Colby's eyes fell wide for a moment as he wasn't expecting this. But it was only a split second before he completely melted into your lips his arms pulling you closer to his body as he deepened the kiss. After a moment he pulled away, both of you out of breath as he pushed his forehead against yours. "Holy shit..." he whispered.

"Yeah... holy shit." You chuckled as your breath was heavy and shook. You both paused for a moment staring at each other. It was as thought you were trying to think logically, Colby truly wanted to prove to you how serious he was about his feelings, and you wanted to make a rational decision if it was worth risking your friendship. But in this moment, as you both stared at each other, your breaths heavy and filled with a need and desire, you both wanted one thing, and one thing only...

Suddenly you both grabbed each other urgently as your lips crashed together in another fit of passion and heat. Your body immediately reacted as you moved over him, straddling his lap as his arms wrapped around you pulling you closer. You both gasped as small moans filled your mouths, your movements becoming more desperate and erratic as you began to grind against him. Colby's hands gripped tightly on your hips as he guided your movements, his hips instinctively pushing up towards you as he groaned. Just as you felt his bulge hardening through his jeans he suddenly pulled away from your lips as he left a trail of kisses, nipping at the skin, down your jaw and along your neck.

"Are you... sure you wanna... do this?" Colby spoke but the low gravel to his voice sent shivers down your spine.

You suddenly pulled back tugging on his hair so he would look up at you, "fuck yeah." You said as a smirk tugged at your lips. The thought of him beating David to a pulp, the feel of his hands on your waist and the feel of his lips on your neck was driving you wild.

Colby looked at you with so much want and need as he couldn't but smile, "fuck y/n... you are so fucking beautiful." He said, his voice seductive and low. Suddenly he crashed his lips back onto yours as his hands moved to your ass, gripping tightly before he suddenly stood up, lifting you with him as you wrapped your legs around his waist. Without breaking the kiss he walked you straight to your bedroom before kicking the door closed behind him. He pulled away for just a moment as he dropped you to your feet, both of you in sync and you began to eagerly remove each other's clothes.

Once he finally removed your shirt and unclasped your bra dropping to it to the floor, he took a step back as he looked at you. Admiring everything about you, the way your curves shaped your body, your breasts quite literally being the most amazing he'd ever seen as he suddenly dropped to his knees with a hunger in his eyes. He pulled your shorts off quickly as he glanced up at you, "so fucking perfect..." he spoke with a desire like never before.

Before you could react he gave you no warning before he pulled you closer, his lips immediately connecting with your core. "Oh f-fuck..." you gasped as your hands gripped into his hair tightly. Colby hummed against you as he worked his tongue in all the first places. Just as you felt your legs begin to twitch slightly, he suddenly brought his hand up your inner thigh as he took two fingers and once again, without warning, inserted them inside you as your eyes widened and a louder moan left your lips, "h-ol-y f-u-ck..." you stuttered as Colby glanced up at you from between your thighs. One hand holding you in place and the other pumped in and out as his tongue worked your clit like magic. Suddenly that familiar knot in your stomach began to form as you legs grew weaker, twitching more and more rapidly. "Colby.. I... I-"

"Cum for me baby..." Colby mumbled against your clit, sending you flying over the edge as your legs buckled beneath you, Colby instantly gripping you tightly so you wouldn't fall as he slowed his pace riding out your high. "That's it baby." He smirked looking up at you.

"Holy... fuck Colby..." you gasped as you caught your breath, but he couldn't restrain himself any longer. He moved back to his feet as he quickly reconnected your lips in a deep and passionate kiss. His hands wrapped into your hair as he pulled your head back giving him more access to deepen the kiss further. He needed you, to touch you, to taste you, to feel you. As he kissed you deeply, he walked you backwards towards your bed but his hands quickly fumbled with him belt, pulling it apart as he undid his jeans. Just as your legs hit the bed he pushed you ever so slightly with a smirk as you fell backwards, your eyes glancing up at him in anticipation.

Colby looked at you as he licked his lips, nothing but admiration and hunger in his eyes as he smirked slightly, pulling his jeans and boxers to the floor as he spoke, "you have no idea how long I've dreamed about this..."

Your heart pounded at his words as you watched him step out of jeans. The smirk on his face told you just how much he was going to give you everything he had. Your heat aching and dripping at the sight of him alone, his hard cock taking you by surprise at the size of it. He immediately climbed on top of you, his body positioned perfectly between your legs as his lips met yours. Each kiss was just as passionate as the last. His hands explored every inch of your body, your breathing and movements in sync with equal need, desire and want. Colby's lips found your neck once again as he kisses and nipped at your skin, your legs wrapping around his waist and your arms around his head. Colby made his way back up to your face as he spoke breathlessly and with urgency, "do you have condoms?"

You nodded eagerly catching your breath, "uh huh... top drawer."

Colby smirked as he leaned to the side opening up your top drawer, his hand feeling around until he felt the familiar foil wrapping. Once he pulled it out he lifted off you as he rested on his knees between your legs. His eyes never left yours as he placed the foil between his teeth ripping it open pulling the condom out with a smirk. You had never felt more ready and desperate for relief in your life.

Colby looked away only briefly as he positioned the latex at his top but his eyes immediately returned to you. Your face, your body, as he slowly slid the condom down his shaft in preparation. He slowly leaned down as he connected your lips once again before he pulled away whispering into your ear, "are you ready baby?"

You gasped as you nodded with a hum, "uh huh.. please Colby." You'd truly had enough of waiting, the anticipation eating at you as your body screamed for some relief.

Colby smirked when we could hear the desperation for him in your voice, "as you wish, princess." He chuckled as he suddenly positioned himself at your entrance, his hand holding onto his dick as he rubbed against your core teasing your entrance.

"C-Colby please..." you begged, your body screaming at you desperate to feel him.

Colby chuckled slightly before slowly pushing himself deep inside of you as he let out a low guttural moan. "Oh... fuckkk..." he groaned as he held himself in place to allow you to adjust to him.

"Oh.... Colby..." you gasped his name naturally rolling off your lips. The sound of you saying his name made his eyes roll to the back of his head. A shiver travelled down both our spines as he suddenly pulled back out before pushing himself back in, his speed quickening with each thrust.

As Colby began to move, your hands moved to his shoulders as he leaned in to connect your lips once more. Both of your mouths were filled with each other's moans, your fingers dragging down his back as he groaned deeply, "fuck y/n..." Colby spoke his voice filled with pleasure.

Colby began to quicken his pace, for years now, he thought about his moment, how it would feel, the look in your eyes as he made you his. And now it was happening, everything he'd wanted, needed. But damn... it wasn't going to last long because this was far better than he had ever imagined. You both moaned and gasped as Colby thrusted against your g-spot almost perfectly each time. Your eyes squeezed tight as another knot quickly began to from.

"Baby-... I..." you gasped your moans growing louder.

"Don't worry baby.. I'm not-... I'm not gonna last long." He groaned out as his hands gripped tightly on your body, he thrusts growing deeper and harder as you both were quickly teetering towards the edge. "Say my name..." Colby demanded, the sound like nothing he'd ever felt before.

"Oh fuck!" You gasped as he began to move in and out harder and harder, "Colby!" You called out.

Colby groaned another deep and guttural moan once again at the sound of his name on your lips, "y/n... y/n.... God I'm gonna... I'm gonna cum." He groaned deeper as he connected your lips once again.

"M-me too." You managed to squeezed out between the moans and curse words falling out your mouth.

Colby continued his rhythm as you began to twitch beneath him, your breath getting caught in your throat as your high vastly approached.

"Colby... d-don't stop!" You gasped as you clung to him tighter, his lips kissing your shoulder before he suddenly bit down slightly as he groaned.

"Oh my fucking... god..." Colby groaned out as he tried to hold out as long as he could but he was struggling. "Come on baby... cum for me... let go." He spoke with a small hint of demand and urgency in his voice.

As Colby pounded into you desperate to take you over the edge, he suddenly lifted himself off you, the loss of his closeness taking you by surprise but suddenly distracted once again as he grabbed your legs pushing them upwards to give him a better position as he thrusted into you harder and faster than before.

"Oh fuck!" You gasped as he pounded deeper, hitting the depths of your core each time and finally you went flying over the edge for the second time tonight, "fuckkk... Colby!" You cried out as your back arched.

"Fuckkk yes!" Colby groaned deeply as he pushed harder onto your legs holding you in place as he thrusted harder a few more times. "Baby... where do you want me?" He asked his eyes meeting yours as you could feel him twitching for release.

"All over me baby." You spoke between breathless moans before he suddenly pulled out his breath on the edge as he lifted higher onto his knees and pulled off the condom in one swift movement just in time.

"Oh.. fuck, y/n..." he groaned loudly as he spilled his cum all of your stomach, using his hand to ride out every last drop. The room was filled with nothing but the sounds of both of your heavy breathing as Colby fell back down onto his legs as you both shook from the intensity of that fuck.

He looked at the mess he'd left on your stomach before his eyes trailed up your body to your face. Your eyes slowly fluttered open as you struggled to come down from such a strong high. Your eyes met Colby's as you both just stared at each other for a moment, a million different emotions running through you as you looked at his butterfly stitches and bruised up face as everything started to hit you.

But suddenly Colby smirked, "fuck... you look so damn good like this." He bit his lip as he looked back at your cum covered stomach.

You couldn't help the giggle leave your lips as you covered your face nervously as you blushed, “oh god.. we just did that…” you laughed as Colby leaned down, careful not to make anymore mess as he pulled your hands from your face.

“Damn right we did.” He said with a smirk as he kissed you deeply once more, “and I hope to fucking god you let me do that again.” He said with a teasing smirk.

“That depends?” You said tilting your head.

“On?” Colby asked his hands gentle brushing the hair out of your face.

You pretended to think for a moment before you spoke, “on two things… 1- you get into more fights over me…” Colby chuckled shaking his head before you continued, “and 2-… if you make me lay here any longer covered in your cum when I need to use the bathroom.” You smirked teasingly.

Colby’s mouth dropped open playfully as I sat back up, “oh I don’t know… I could definitely get used to this sight.” He teased back.

You raised your eyebrows as you quickly replied, “and it will be the last time you see this if you don’t get me something to clean it up with stat!”

Colby rolled his eyes jokingly as he laughed standing up from the bed, “as you wish, princess.” He smirked as he grabbed you a towel.

Once you cleaned yourself up you climbed off the bed, ready to head into the shower. Colby watched you, admiring every single thing about you. He smiled to himself, knowing that this was it. This was just the beginning of everything he’d dreamed of with you.

“Hey, y/n?” He spoke softly as you were just about to head to the bathroom.

“Yeah?” You said as you turned to face him, stopping in your tracks.

Colby just looked at you and smiled for a moment as you felt your cheeks blush slightly. “I’ll never hurt you, you know…” his words caught you by surprise as you relaxed slightly. Colby continued, “for years, I’ve thought about this, everyday I’ve fallen for you harder and everyday I’ve believed that you and I… were endgame.” He said honestly, his eyes searching yours to try and gage how you were feeling.

You leaned on the doorframe as you crossed your arms. “Well… if you can always make me feel that good… we just might be.” You teased with a smirk as you slowly turned away and headed for the bathroom.

Colby’s jaw fell slack at your comment and his eyes glistened with hope, “damn right I will baby… you can count on that!” He shouted as you closed the bathroom door before he suddenly laid back on your bed looking up at the ceiling with disbelief. This was it.

The Soldier

Angst, mentions of Billy’s mother, mentions of Alzheimer’s, friends to lovers, implied oral (f and m receiving), kissing, fluff, alcohol consumption, fem!reader.

My Christmas story for the year, I think. I worked pretty hard on it. It’s a lot longer than I usually write.

Imagine Being Loved By Me

2,201 words.

You meandered around the mall quietly, heart heavy. It was loud, kids running to and fro excited to meet Santa, Christmas music playing through the speakers, and it was beautifully decorated with sparkling Christmas trees and garland.

But you didn’t feel the joy, feeling stressed and anxious. Billy was hard to shop for, he always avoided the subject so you didn’t know what to get him.

You looked around through the different shops. Frank got him a kit for his gun last year. He already had a knife, and he wasn’t a big fan of watching movies and TV. And he had so many copies of Dorian Gray already.

It was your first Christmas with him since moving your mother into one of the care facilities for her Alzheimer’s.

The apartments were tiny in New York unless you had money and you had to move to a cheaper apartment since paying for her medical bills (and you were too prideful to ask Billy for help), but you didn’t need much.

That had been in the spring. It was December now, winter. Nearly a year since you put your mother in a facility. And it had been the best year despite that, having enjoyed your free time with Billy. He was busy a lot, but when he could make time for you, he made it count.

Earlier this morning, he had woken you up in your small studio apartment, head buried between your thighs, tasting you. You’d buried your fingers in his hair, whining and trembling, your thighs squeezing his ears.

And goddamn, he loved the sounds you made. It went straight to his cock. The way you undulated your hips and rode his face, your taste. You were better than the sweetest candy.

He’d flopped on his back, wiping his mouth and grinning, looking cheekily at you. “That sorts breakfast.” He laughed, as you looked at him dazed.

“Wanna taste you.” You said softly, scooting down his hips, kissing them, before biting his hip bone.

Billy had groaned, he could get used to waking up with you every morning, he thought hissing as your warm mouth wrapped around him. He could have almost gone off then, but he wanted to enjoy you.

It had been a good morning. But now, you were filled with anxiety, too caught up on it having to be perfect.

“You okay?” It was Maria.

“Can’t find anything for Billy.” You said, watching him walk ahead with Frank, admiring him. You ached for him, never having felt this way about anyone before. But he wasn’t just your lover. He was your best friend. The person you’d written to when things got tough at home as your mother became ill and you got lonely while he was in the Marines.

“He’d love whatever you got him, as long as you put thought into it. Don’t get caught up in the perfect gift nonsense. Just get a thoughtful gift.” Maria said encouragingly. Everyone had said that, and Frank had gruffly told you; “Bill just wants you, doesn’t care about much else.”

You sighed. “I want him to know I can love enough for both his mother and I.” You said, gripping your purse tightly.

Maria touched your arm. “He already knows that, sweetheart.”

Kids ran ahead shouting loudly, and running into Billy, and he steadied the young boy who looked up at him. “I like your hair.” The kid said, admiring his haircut.

You couldn’t see his facial expression, nor hear what he said to the kid, but the boy’s eyes brightened, before he ran off to catch up with his mother.

Billy looked behind him, smiling at you. God, you sure hoped Maria was right.

&&&&

You ended up at their house, Billy and Frank playing battleship and heckling each other, while you and Maria watched, drinking wine. “I’m comin’ for ya, Russo.”

Billy laughed, “Put up your dukes, then.” He said, cocky.

You were drunk on wine, amusing Billy as you gave him a sloppy kiss on the cheek. “My Marine is gonna kick your ass, Frankie.”

Billy smiled inwardly at your claim on him, surprised it didn’t have him running for the hills. But you were his best friend, he felt safe with you. Frank rolled his eyes. “You’re just sayin’ that because he’s good in bed.”

Your cheeks burned. “Nuh uh. I’m saying it ‘cause he regularly beats me at it, devastates me.” You giggled, “A tactician, and…” you paused, “my bestest friend.” You slurped your wine. “I would kill for him. Kinda. Maybe just maim. I wouldn’t do good in jail.” You rambled.

By now, Billy was laughing. “God, you’re sweet when you’re drunk.”

Maria pulled you down into the chair, “Sit down, sweetheart. I don’t want wine on my clean floor.” She said, noticing how you’d been swaying on your feet.

“Can’t tolerate your alcohol?” Frank smirked, as he got a hit on one of Billy’s ships, smirking at his friend. “Lost your touch, Bill?”

“I can tolerate just fine, thank you.” You said, taking another large gulp, hand shaking as you put it up to your lips.

Billy scoffed, “You’re comin’ home with me tonight, not letting you smother yourself trying to get into bed.” He teased you. He turned to Frank, “Don't get cocky, Frankie. It’s one hit.” He said, sipping his beer.

Frank scoffed this time, but slapped the table in victory, when he hit Billy’s ship. “One hit, huh, Bill?!” He grinned.

“It ain’t a sinkin’, Frankie, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Billy laughed.

Frank flipped him off, and Billy hit one of Frank’s ships. And then another. And another. Almost sinking one.

Maria laughed at Frank’s exasperation when Billy finally sunk his first ship, making him swear under his breath. “It’s just not your night, dear.” She smiled over her glass, more sober than you. “But you were never good at this game. Lisa beat you recently.” She said slyly.

“Babe, who’s side are you on?” Frank asked, looking appalled by her candor, mouth open. “Are you a turncoat?”

Everyone but Frank laughed, as Billy sunk another ship. “All of you are gettin’ coal.”

&&&&

You both sat on the floor, feet facing the electric fireplace after leaving the Castles. Billy had brought you home, and you’d sobered a little with a bit of coffee. His cat that you’d convinced him to adopt, Lucy, was sitting on your lap purring away as you gave her scratches behind her ears.

“That cat is gettin’ more attention than me,” complained Billy, fingers digging into your hips.

You giggled, “Does Billy want head scratches?” You teased him lightly.

Billy’s breath tickled your neck as he sat behind you, arms around you as the snow picked up outside. He pinched your side at your comment making you squeal, and jump.

Lucy jumped out of your lap, looking like you’d offended her. She swished her tail, walking away with her nose in the air.

x

You pushed Billy down, kissing him and he smiled into it.

Finally some attention.

Your cold fingers slipped under his sweater, making him shiver, as you wiggled your hips against his. He groaned, as you pulled back admiring his flushed cheeks. “What?” He asked.

“You know you’re hard to shop for.” You said, softly.

Billy froze. It had surprised him that you intended to get him something. The only person who did was Maria.

He was quiet for a moment, looking faraway, before his eyes snapped to yours. “There was this toy soldier I wanted, growin’ up. It was one of those green ones, had a gun and everything. It wasn’t very expensive, and I’d seen it on the way to the bathroom with my mother in a department store.” He said, eyes faraway, remembering painful memories, you stroked his hair, enjoying the way he groaned softly.

You listened quietly.

“I asked her for it. She smacked my hands off her skirt, and pulled me into the bathroom. She was there to buy drugs. But she couldn’t buy me a toy soldier worth mere cents.” His thumbs stroked your hips, he sounded bitter. You wanted to ease the pain in his heart, to exorcise the demons from his past.

You kissed his mouth, the mood turning somber. You swore you’d love him enough for his mother and yourself. You wanted to give him everything. It was hard when you only made so much at the bookstore. You struggled during the holidays.

But you’d do what you could for him this year.

&&&&

You were disappointed. Billy would be busy over Christmas, so you wouldn’t be spending it together. Him and Frank were on a protection detail, and would be working over Christmas.

He’d come by to tell you, shaking snow off his coat, and looking apologetically at you.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart.” He said, voice deep, as your face fell, making his chest ache painfully. He’d fully planned on spending it with you.

His cold fingers touched yours, “I’ll make it up to you, we can celebrate later. Just you and me.” He kissed your mouth, and then he was gone.

&&&&

Christmas was a lonely affair, it was snowing out, and your tiny tree sparkled, but you wanted your best friend.

You sipped your coffee quietly, hoping he was safe. Frank, too. You’d brought Lucy over so you could care for her while Billy was away.

A piece of him.

She purred in your lap while you watched old Christmas movies, holding onto the promise he’d spend it with you at a later date

The gift you’d gotten him sat on your dining room table.

The snow picked up outside.

&&&&

Billy shivered. He was freezing his ass off protecting some young rich boy, who had gotten in trouble with a goddamn crime syndicate by flapping his gums, taunting the son of said syndicate. “My father could take on your father.”

Stupid, thought Billy in irritation. He was old enough to know better, but had been too sheltered making the young man ignorant.

Billy thought of you, probably warm in bed right now, while he froze his balls off outside during a storm. He wanted to be there, to taste the wine on your tongue, and feel your body slotted against his, with your fingers in his hair.

He could almost feel your warmth and soft touch, and it made him feel almost… colder, now aware of the cold around him. He pulled his coat closer, looking at Frank who looked just as miserable waiting for this leader of the syndicate to show up. He loved his job, but goddamn, sometimes he wondered what a 9 to 5 job would be like, where he could be with you more often.

If all went according to plan though, another day and he’d be yours.

&&&&

He kept his promise, and on the week after Christmas, you both curled up in front of his tree, drinking mulled wine, warm inside. “How was your job?” You asked.

Billy groaned. “It led to nothin’. All this build up for a fight, and all that happened was the leader wanted money instead of a fight. The father had no balls, so he gave him the money.” Billy said, rolling his eyes and drinking his wine.

You laughed, “You’re always eager for a fight.”

He grinned. “Damn straight.” He paused. “I got you somethin’, sweetheart.” He said, grabbing a package behind the tree.

Your heart fluttered as he came and sat back down next to you, leaning into you. You could smell the wine on his breath, along with his cologne. It was comforting.

You opened it, hands shaking. You hadn’t received a gift in a while, due to your mother’s Alzheimer’s. She barely remembered you some days. It was a Chromebook like you’d asked for. You bit your lip, heart full of gratitude. “So you can write like we talked about.” He hummed, sipping his wine.

“You’re so good to me, Bill.” You pressed a warm kiss to his mouth, and he groaned.

You shakily set down the gift. “I got something for you, too.” You stood up, moving to your coat, and pulling it out, shaky on your legs as you returned. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as what he got you.

Billy set his glass down, as you sat down next to him, and took the small package. He ripped through the paper, curious, and his heart stopped when he saw it. It was a green toy soldier with a gun.

“I wanted to find you what you had never had. Your mother didn’t love you, Billy, but I do. I can love enough for both—“

He cut you off with a hard kiss, tasting the chocolate you’d been snitching from his pantry, like a little kid dipping their hands in the sweets. You whined into his mouth, as he pushed you down, fingers climbing up your sweater.

He pulled back, leaning on his elbows over you. “This is why you’re mine.” He said, voice soft, “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”

You smiled relieved he was happy. “Merry Christmas, Billy.”

And then Lucy jumped on his back, purring.

You both laughed, and he kissed you again.

Merry Christmas, indeed.

Summerfest Day 7 - COMPANION

The hotel’s dining room is reminiscent of the restaurants Caelestis remembers eating at when ze was younger, on the rare occasions zir mother coaxed zem out of the house. The smooth gleam of the floors, the crackling glow of the hearth; even the weave of the napkins, the buffed edges of the tabletop, the candle in its little dyed-glass holder.

It makes Caelestis think of the stained glass in the walls of the temples; which is strange, because ze’d never been an avid temple-goer, and it’s been years since ze’s seen one. They don’t have the grand windows in the sporadic shrines in Morrowind; they are much smaller, most of the time, more self-contained, as if whoever designed the buildings – or, it almost felt, the buildings themselves – knew how oddly placed they were, soft little sacrariums dedicated to foreign gods. Most of them were never very busy. Caelestis understands why, ze thinks; ze’s never fully grasped the appeal of a religiously lived life, constant thought for beings so eternally far away. Gods that walk, two feet on the ground with the rest of them, have much more allure.

(Vivec always used to float, cross-legged, above his own shrine. Sotha Sil didn’t even have legs.)

It’s very nice, the setup of the tables, the art on the walls, the stained candle-cups and marbled glass of the windows and the quiet chatter of the room all around, the clinking of plates and cutlery, the gorgeous smell of food now more nostalgic than familiar. A jug of wine sits on the table before zem, untouched; the food is still steaming. Zir companion picks up a spoon to prod their dish with.

“You told me,” he says gravely, “that the cuisine of Cyrodiil had fewer insects.”

The prawns, spattered with sauce and spices, their antennae curled and lifeless eyes gleaming, do look remarkably buglike.

“Fewer,” Caelestis says, “not none.” A pause; ze looks down at zir own dish of egg and carefully lined up squid cakes. It’s unfamiliar enough now that ze needs to prepare zirself to try it. “Besides, they’re crustaceans, not insects.”

“A paltry difference,” he replies, with a flick of the spoon, and he cleaves the boiled-soft head off with its edge.

It’s strange, to be in a place like this again; so different to the places ze can easily afford in Morrowind, and the luxuries ze’s grown accustomed to. It’s strange to be in a public house at all, really, sitting over a meal ze does not need, opposite a stranger’s face; but they are practising, the pair of them. Play-acting at normalcy in a place that gives them some little leeway. Caelestis’ clothes aren’t at all the fashions worn by anyone else at any other table in the hall; zir skin, dry and mottled, is free of any visible scars or tattoos, cheeks plump and uneven with soft flesh taken from the inside of zir thigh. Zir hair lacks its shaved sides, long and dark and twined into an elaborate twisting shape reaching down the back of zir neck. (That’s the strangest change, honestly, and one ze hasn’t attempted before; ze’s left the barely-visible seams to make it easier to find where the join comes in, and stored zir real scalp, its hair shaved almost to the skin, in the leather folds of zir kit.) Zir companion, a bug-eyed Dunmer with temperamental hair and glisteringly new clothes, seems more at home in the change of scenery than ze is. With every flourish of hir cutlery, the firelight catches on the blood-red ring on hir middle finger.

(Caelestis still can’t look at it without grimacing; but maybe that’s for the best. Ze’s trying to get better at controlling zir facial expressions anyway.)

“I am curious,” says the traveller-who-is-not-Vivec to his companion-who-is-not-the-Nerevarine, and he pops the spoonful of prawn into his mouth, shell intact. (Caelestis has never eaten prawn zirself – ze’s always been very put off by meat that looks like animals – but ze’s reasonably certain that that’s not how it’s done.) He chews, eyes dark as wine; asks, “Why here?”

Caelestis takes up zir own cutlery. “It’s supposed to be the best in the city,” ze says. Ze’d ordered eggs, because bird isn’t so different from kwama, and seafood, because Vvardenfell has sea, too. (Ze has never taken easily to change, no matter how minor.)

Ze manages to carve off a forkful of squid. It smells nice, at least, though it will be irritating getting it out, later. On a normal day ze wouldn’t eat. But they’re practising, pretending to be people. People eat, as a general rule, so the not-Nerevarine has to, too.

Vivec flicks his eyes to the side. “No. Why any hotel?”

Ah.

Caelestis eats the squid, for the sake of looking like ze’s doing anything other than scrambling for an answer.

(The answer is, simply, that ze’s afraid; to ask for things, or to be given them, and then not want to refuse.)

“I think it’s best,” ze says, once the perfectly nice bite of squid cake is chewed and swallowed, “that I keep this time short.” (It’s been years of letter-writing; years of growing apart; ze is terrified down to zir bones that the minute ze steps into that house it will feel wrong. Even worse, that it won’t.)

(It’s a final farewell. No sense in dragging it out. Surely that will only make it more painful.)

There’s too much to it; too much mess and confusion; Caelestis stares at zir egg and squid and doesn’t mean to say anything, but the words fall ugly and vulnerable onto the ceramic of zir plate anyway. “I don’t even know what I’ll say.”

Vivec’s spoon clinks against his dish. The candle in its little glass dances. “Say everything,” he says, with the tone of one bestowing enlightening knowledge; “You’re lucky enough to know this is your last chance.” Guilt rises, as it always does, in Caelestis’ throat; the spoon clanks again and zir companion says, “This is actually quite good.”

“I’m glad you like it,” Caelestis replies. Zir fork squeaks. They are quiet, for a brief moment, in the noise of the hall.

Vivec reaches for the wine jug, pours hirself a glass; offers it to Caelestis, who declines. Food is more difficult to extract when mixed with liquid; besides, ze’s never liked wine enough to drink it for the sake of the taste, and it does nothing to zem, now.

Alcohol, like most intoxicants, works its effects through the bloodstream. Caelestis is a dry and clotted corpse.

“It is good,” Vivec repeats, and tilts their head to the side, thoughtful. It’s odd to see the hair move with them. “Hm. Perhaps you can just leave me here when you go to visit your mother.”

Their eyes look as deep red as the wine swirling around in the glass. It’s an unfamiliar brand; from Skingrad, Caelestis would bet. Most Cyrod wines are. The whole county is a vineyard, according to zir mother; ze’s never been, personally.

Maybe before they return to Vvardenfell, they could take a look. It isn’t as if travelling time is an issue. It isn’t as if any time is an issue anymore.

Caelestis prods at the spiced yolk of zir egg. “Maybe,” ze says. “But surely you’d get bored of sitting around eating prawns after a while.”

When Vivec smiles, an odd and private twist of the lips, the guise flickers; his hair gleams and one eye flashes gold. “You underestimate me,” he says gravely, beginning an attempt to shell the prawn with careful fingers. “I’m sure I’ve written verse on this very subject. Anything can be interesting if you choose to be interested by it.”

There is soft meat spreading over his fingers, knuckle-deep in cracking the carapace. Caelestis stares at the shell, wonders vaguely if ze could do anything with it; if it’s flesh-like enough; if it’s dead enough. Vivec extracts the innards with the care of a surgeon and swallows the shelled prawn in one. For a moment it all feels overwhelming – so staggeringly unbelievable – so ridiculous; Caelestis thinks of their first meeting, strange and awkward and so, so heavy. Ze’d still been alive, then, still growing accustomed to the new shape corprus and ridding zirself thereof gave zem, still figuring out how to talk around zir half-tongue, still carving out a place in Morrowind’s mythos to fit zem. It was staggering; it was overpowering; ze’d been choking on parables, still, so very unprepared to meet him in person. When ze first pushed open that door Vivec hadn’t even yet called off the curse they’d levelled on zir head; the temple was ready and willing to kill zem at a word. They’d each spoken of it simply, perfunctorily; that they had tried to have zem executed was, at that time, the simplest part of their relationship.

(Now, Caelestis thinks, the simple thing it all boils down to is different. Now, they are allies. Everything else is secondary.)

Vivec had seemed intimidating then. Alien, unknowable; the centre of a legend ze’d found some strange comfort in since ze was a child, hovering still and silent above hir own ancient shrine; a god, back when it meant something bigger than it does now. Hir speech had been short and weighty, every word pronounced as if it were momentous, solemn as anything. Caelestis doesn’t think ze saw hir smile until perhaps their fourth meeting, and even then it had been wry. Ze didn’t joke, then; said nothing flippantly; carried hirself with a comportment befitting the roll ze was taking.

Caelestis wonders, now, how true any of it was. How true any of it is, or ever has been. Ze’s not an enormously insightful person, and people are complicated; gods, seemingly, even more so. Especially when they’re both at once.

Zir fork clinks against the porcelain of the plate. “You seem happier,” ze says. The fire crackles.

“Do I?” says Vivec; Caelestis can never usually read his tone, but now he sounds curious. He leans back into the smooth wood of his chair, eyes settling on the elaborately coffered ceiling. (It really is overpoweringly strange seeing him with hair; long and pulled back, escaping easily from its ties. Caelestis wonders if this is how he looked, before the Heart; ze hasn’t asked.)

He gazes at the ceiling as if some grand thing might be inscribed in its painted contours.

“I think,” he says after a moment, Caelestis watching him while slicing off a mouthful of squid cake, “I am relieved,” and he nods decisively as he looks back at his plate, moves in to peel open another prawn. In the light of the little candle, his fingers look slick.

Caelestis lifts zir forkful to zir mouth. Ze does not say why? does not say how? does not say don’t you grieve for all we’ve wrought? but it must be written on the lines of zir face, because they meet zir eyes and tilt their head, gentle.

“You know I wasn’t surprised,” ze says, and Caelestis nods, once. “All of it – all we’ve done – was eons in the making.” A pause; hir fingers crack open a shell. “I hadn’t spoken to either of them in decades. I grieved for each loss long before it came to pass.”

The room swirls and eddies around them, a mess of chatter, painted-on scenery. Caelestis feels, sometimes, like ze could reach out and smear the world around zem with a touch.

Vivec sets hir food down in the ceramic dish. “And now there is nothing left to dread. I’m done mourning.” He brings his thumb to his mouth, licks off the juice of the meat. His teeth are small. He smiles, suddenly, wide and brilliant. “I confess, I didn’t think this far ahead. Now it seems all the world is new.”

“Soon enough,” Caelestis says drily, “it will be.”

Vivec raises their glass to that. Caelestis chinks zir fork against it, after they spend several seconds refusing to bring it back down. “Salut,” ze says, watches him drink.

He sets the glass down. “I am glad,” he says, “that I do not navigate this new mortal world alone.” His dish glisters in the firelight, spices mingling with the air’s thin smoke; he tips it toward zem and offers, “Crustacean?”

firstprince - divorce fic

Alex stops at the door of what used to be their bedroom, messing with the drawstrings of his hoodie. The bottle of red wine that Catherine gave them on their wedding day six years ago dangles from his other hand. Henry is sitting on the mattress, knees folded up to his chest, and his head is resting on them. He’s staring out the bay window where the both of them spent hours curled into each other, drinking wine and laughing together. 

This room is the one room that their divorce didn’t touch, still sacred in the same way it was the night they got married – neither of them had slept in here once since everything had begun. 

“Hey,” Alex says quietly, and Henry looks over at him, his eyes shining with unshed tears. Alex blinks back some of his own, “One last bottle? For old times' sake?”

Henry just nods slightly, and Alex walks over to the window, pulling two glasses off the little wine glass rack they installed into the cabinet under the bench, sitting against the edge of the window. He looks at the clock on his old nightstand, the time reading 12:56 am.  “T minus 8 hours, Hen. If we want to finish this bottle and go to bed, you gotta chop chop.”

Henry just chuckles wetly, coming over and dropping to sit in between Alex’s legs, leaning his chest against his back.

tarlos - childhood best friends AU

TK’s facial expression cracks open and he nods softly, “I’ll be careful.”

Carlos lets go, knowing this is the best he’s going to get from him. He steps back, opening the door to tell dispatch that he’s code four when he hears a shot go off. 

His feet are taking off before he can even process what happened.

He skids to a stop in front of the room, eyes widening in horror as he takes in the scene in front of him. Michelle’s working on resuscitating the man with the heart attack, and Aish-

Well, Aish is currently applying pressure to TK’s shoulder with all her body weight and Oh, God, Carlos has been here before. 

Carlos feels sixteen all over again, feeling the palms of his hands digging into TK’s chest as he tries to keep TK’s heart pumping before an ambulance gets there.

He tries to snap out of it, reaching up with shaky hands to his radio, and pressing the button. “Dispatch, requesting additional RA unit to scene, gunshot victim, white male in his early 20s.” He takes a breath, “it’s Paramedic Strand, so if we could hurry up.”

It’s Grace’s voice that floats back over the radio, “Copy that, 363-H-20.” There’s a beat and then, “Are you okay, Carlos?”

“I’ll be better when that RA gets here,” and with that, he hits his knees on the floor next to Aish, pulling gloves out of her kit and putting them on. “Switch with me, I’ll apply pressure, and you can do the rest. I can at least do this.”

Case File - Casimira "Heretic" Broz

A/N: ok hi this is my first time posting anything i've written rip... hopefully this helps me get a bit more confident !!

Massive massive thanks to @charliemwrites for letting me use the character sheet template !! i hope u guys enjoy, i have a few fic ideas for heretic inspired stuff later (:

Character File

Name: Casimira  Angelika “Heretic” Broz

Aliases: Mira / Cass, Gwiazdko (by her grandmother, meaning star), Grandma (her original squad), Little Guy (in reference to herself)

Age: 31

Gender and pronouns: AFAB, she/her (?) (but also calls herself “little guy” often, and seems indifferent to masculine terms in general)

Marital Status: Single

Surviving family: grandmother, younger brother, mother (estranged)

Physical description:

A well-built figure – a lot of muscle, with the majority of her strength kept in her legs, with thick calves and hefty thighs. She often claims to be “working on her upper body strength,” although no discernible change to her upper body strength has been made. She stands at 5’3  5’4 (161cm) and 127lbs. Casimira’s hair is long, almost pitch black in colour with a slight wave to it. It’s constantly pulled back into a crisp ponytail – you can usually tell when she’s having a bad day by the neatness of her hair. Has been heard cursing loudly in Polish when frustrated at the styling. Her eyes are pools of (mostly) light brown, rimmed with deep eyebags (no matter how much or how little sleep she gets). 

Identifying/Unusual features:

A small speck of blue in her left iris

A beauty-mark under the right-hand side of her lip

A few facial scars: one cutting up through both of her lips on the left-hand side of her face, another just above her eyebrow on the same side.

A few other innocuous scars littering her arms, entirely tattooed over

A burn scar that curls up her entire right leg, worsening at the bottom and gradually fading at the top.

Tattoos:

(where to even begin………………)

A patchwork sleeve on her right arm with small, seemingly random symbols/images (including a pair of scissors, a rosary, an icepick, a bar of soap, a dog baring its teeth, like five different beetles, some skulls of different animals, a singular tooth, a duck skateboarding, etc etc)

A set of 4 swords on her left thigh, seemingly from media she enjoys. (Sting and Andúril from LOTR, Excalibur, the Master Sword from LoZ)

‘Should I Stay?’ above her left knee, ‘Should I Go?’ underneath the same knee – a reference to her favourite song

An effigy to Laika on her left bicep surrounded by a scattering of scars, with the message “patron saint of one way trips”

Special file note: Do not dare her to get a tattoo, she will do it. She will regret it. And then she will proceed to do it again the next time someone dares her. DO NOT LET HER OWN A STICK AND POKE KIT. 

Early Childhood:

Broz’s earliest memories revolve around worship; the wave of incense invading her nostrils, being bathed in a kaleidoscope of rich colour as the sun refracted through the stained glass windows of her local church with the taste of salty wafer heavy on her small tongue. There, under the roof of the small chapel, strangers united by their shared devotion. 

Her mother was undergoing her postulancy and in the process of becoming a nun when she found out she was pregnant with Casimira (out of wedlock, no less). The embarrassment and stigma pushed her family out of their small, rural Polish town, and as such they immigrated to England when Broz was still an infant.

There was a distance between her and her mother growing up, marked by a mutual understanding of disappointment – on drunken evenings with too much wine in her stomach, Iga would complain loudly about the life she gave up to have her. 

Her Babcia, on the other hand, adored her. While she was never one for verbal expressions of love, hidden between half-hearted jabs, tuts and constant worrying was proof of her adoration. Knitting her scarves and gloves and blankets because you’re always wearing such little clothing, pilling her lunchboxes full of home-cooked food because when did you get so thin, mały Gwiazdko?

As Broz grew older, mindless devotion grew less enchanting. The church became a stuffy little place instead of a second home, and she often left with more questions than answers. As she grew more doubtful, her mother grew more evangelical and fanatical in her beliefs, which was only worsened with the birth of her younger brother to another nameless father. 

In school, it seemed as though nothing academic came to her naturally. What other students could do as easy as breathing, she had to devote herself fully to in order to make good grades. She felt as though she constantly had something to prove, had to fight to be praised for her efforts and be noticed. 

Athletics, on the other hand, came to her like breathing. She joined almost every athletic club her school had to offer – from archery, to track, gymnastics. Team sports specifically; netball, football, cricket, rounders – she excelled at them all. There was something about working as part of a group; following signals, obeying commands, non-verbal communication was where she thrived. Always willing to make the risky play in order for her team to excel. 

Around the time of her brother’s birth, at age 15, was when she started considering joining the military. As her home life grew more tumultuous, she grew desperate for any way to escape. The comradery witnessed at careers fairs enticed her. The idea of working together to actually achieve something, to influence the world in an important way, to help! 

She joined shortly after turning 17. 

Military Career:

Broz originally wanted to enter the military with the aim of becoming a Chaplain, but changed her mind shortly before enrolling.

Unwaveringly loyal, endlessly patient and respectful, she hastily rose through the ranks. She made fast friends with everyone in her first squad, quickly earning the nickname Grandma due to her constant faffing and dry humour. 

She grew to be well-liked by her superiors also; her history in team sports and devoted nature made her a brilliant soldier. She was cooperative, level-headed, and very eager to impress. Excelled at stealth, hand-to-hand combat and at sniping. A jack-of-all-trades type soldier, she fell easily into any role. 

Her only flaw was her tendency for martyrdom. She would do anything for her team to succeed, even if it meant pulling the self-sacrifice play. It landed her in many difficult situations – the only issue on her disciplinary record. 

The trajectory of her career was altered dramatically with the death of most of her team, with herself and her Lieutenant being the only survivors.

Broz fought tooth and nail against the idea of honourable discharge in the wake of this tragedy, and her determination caught the attention of Kate Laswell. Heretic, after her recovery, now serves by flitting between squads under Laswell’s purview. Whether it be helping with gathering intel and infiltration, ambushing and sabotage, she offers her services to teams temporarily to fill whichever role is needed of her. 

While she still proves to be dependable and loyal, she seems to have developed an issue with fraternising with new teams. Her issues with self-sacrifice still place her in trouble for insubordination often.

Achieve a Whiter Smile: The Best Teeth Whitening Treatment in Navi Mumbai

Teeth whitening treatment is a dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains or discoloration. The treatment aims to enhance the appearance of your smile by making your teeth several shades whiter. It typically involves the use of bleaching agents that break down stains and discoloration on the tooth enamel.

There are various methods for teeth whitening, including professional in-office treatments, which use strong whitening agents for immediate results, and take-home kits, which provide gradual whitening with custom trays and gels. The process is effective for addressing common stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, and can significantly improve the brightness of your smile.

Teeth whitening treatment in Navi Mumbai is several reasons, primarily focusing on enhancing the appearance and confidence of individuals. Here are some key reasons for opting for teeth whitening:

Brightening Your Smile: Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored from consuming coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. Teeth whitening helps restore a brighter, more youthful appearance to your smile.

Boosting Confidence: A whiter smile can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence, making you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Enhancing Aesthetic Appeal: Whiter teeth improve the overall aesthetics of your smile, contributing to a more attractive and harmonious facial appearance.

Preparing for Special Events: Many people choose teeth whitening before special occasions, such as weddings, job interviews, or public speaking events, to ensure their smile looks its best.

Correcting Stains and Discoloration: Teeth whitening is effective in addressing common stains and discoloration caused by aging, certain medications, or poor oral hygiene.

Non-Invasive Improvement: Teeth whitening offers a non-invasive way to enhance your smile without the need for more extensive dental procedures.

Teeth whitening treatment Result

The results of teeth whitening treatment typically last from several months to a few years, depending on the type of whitening used and individual habits. In-office whitening treatments generally offer the most significant and long-lasting results, with effects lasting between 6 months and 2 years. Take-home whitening kits provide gradual improvements and usually maintain results for about 6 months to 1 year. The longevity of whitening results is influenced by factors such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices. Consuming stain-causing foods and beverages, as well as smoking, can reduce the duration of whiteness. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings can help preserve the brightness of your smile. Additionally, periodic touch-ups or maintenance treatments, as advised by your dentist, can extend the effects of whitening. Overall, while teeth whitening provides a substantial enhancement to your smile, maintaining its results requires ongoing good oral care and mindful dietary choices.

12 Amazing Benefits of Teeth Whitening 

Your smile says a lot about your image of yourself and how others perceive you. An attractive smile can help you achieve great heights because it marks the first step towards a positive reflection of the self. However, stained, discoloured, and uneven teeth will not make you feel the same, preventing you from highlighting a beaming grin.  

Despite having a sound oral hygiene routine, with age, the yellowing of teeth will stay natural, occurring due to the thinning of the enamel, making the dentin appear yellow.  

Certain foods like berries, wine, coffee, and tobacco can also cause staining. Smile makeovers and teeth whitening by dental experts can be highly effective solutions to improve your facial appeal.   

Over-the-counter products provide different results than professional teeth whitening in lightening the enamel and dentin in several appointments to suit your preferences.  

Below is a compilation of 12 benefits offered by professional teeth whitening dental clinics in Mumbai. 

Enhanced Self Esteem 

Whiter teeth are perceived as more attractive and youthful. When individuals feel that their smile looks better, they may feel more confident in their appearance, which can contribute to an overall boost in self-esteem. 

A Brighter Smile  

Teeth whitening in Mumbai instantly brightens up your smile since the dentist can get rid of the heavy stains using high-tech methods that whitening toothpaste will not be able to impact much.  

Precise Personalization  

By considering individual factors such as tooth sensitivity, desired shade, and oral health, the treatment includes varied durations or at-home options, ensuring tailored experiences that address specific needs and enhancing the overall effectiveness and satisfaction of the whitening process for each person. 

Safer Treatment 

Professional supervision ensures the proper use of products, and advancements like low-concentration gels or laser technology provide effective yet safer alternatives, enhancing overall treatment safety for individuals. 

Financial Benefits Overall  

Compared to more expensive cosmetic procedures, teeth whitening cost in Mumbai is often affordable. Additionally, maintaining oral hygiene through whitening may prevent future dental issues, reducing long-term dental care costs and promoting overall dental health. 

Speedy Procedure 

Your dental hygienist will make your teeth shine in a one-hour appointment without repeating the messy task of applying the same over-the-counter kits. 

Better Oral Health 

The process often involves professional assessment and cleaning, promoting regular dental check-ups. Improved oral care habits and stain removal can reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease, enhancing overall dental well-being. 

Customized Teeth Whitening Techniques 

Factors like tooth sensitivity, desired outcomes, and oral health are considered during the procedure. Professional guidance allows for personalized treatment plans, including in-office procedures or at-home options, ensuring effective and personalized teeth whitening experiences for everyone. 

Long-Lasting Results 

While routine oral hygiene is sustained at home, the results will be long-lasting since whitening agents at the dental practitioner's chamber will be more potent than the ones over the counter.  

A Boost to Your Career  

A confident smile can positively influence first impressions in professional settings, improving communication and interpersonal relationships. Increased self-assurance may contribute to a more prosperous and fulfilling career trajectory. 

Effective Treatment at Home 

Teeth whitening solutions offer effective at-home options, allowing individuals to whiten their teeth conveniently. Customized home kits, under professional guidance, provide a safe and controlled approach. This flexibility caters to diverse schedules, ensuring accessibility to effective whitening treatments while maintaining comfort and convenience within the home environment. 

Post-Whitening Advice 

Your dental hygienist will guide you in keeping your teeth brighter and healthy after the successful treatment completion, recommending what to consume to avoid staining again.  

As a safe and convenient choice, teeth whitening can gradually boost your esteem so you can smile without worries and produce longer-lasting results than drugstore DIY whitening kits.
