#work: my collection of rambles cod

[here-but-forgotten]

gnawing at my enclosure- poly 141!

ghostsoap is fun and all but what about soap who can’t get enough of the men he’s around? what about soap who gets passed around like a doll between the three? What about soap who confines in Gaz that his hole as never been used and that he wants to try? And that Gaz puts him over his lap and fingers his little hole when he knows price is just next door? And that when price hears he short circuits a little? And that soap is being so vocal and whining and whimpering that price is rock hard and unable to do anything about it because ghost has entered the room?

What about when price and ghost both hear it but act like they didn’t? What about when this becomes a pattern- hearing Johnny getting broken in while kyle quietly leads him through it? What about when Gaz has soap around his finger and makes soap hard on purpose in front of the other two? And when soap can finally take kyles pretty cock it’s on prices desk, with their captain watching Johnny become cock drunk? And when Johnny is able to take another thick cock in his little hole? And price’s fat cock gets shoved in alongside Kyle?

What about when ghost has overheard this one too many times and comes into watch? What about when this time, Johnny is tied up nice and pretty, and his captain lowers him onto his lieutenants cock? What about when he’s fucked on ghosts dick while his mouth gets fucked by Gaz, all while his captain watches? What then huh?

Detroit: Become Human OC posting!🧡

I will try and fit everything into one decently sized post, but I'm MEGA AUTISTIC about my own OC, so lol! Some context: Finn was made before I even owned DBH, and before I saw anything related to DBH. He's actually originally a TF2/COD OC, but he's become just a DBH OC. He's a RP OC, specifically for a plot post in-game events (Failed Revolution, Deviant Connor).

!!!ACTUAL STUFF BELOW CUT!!!

Name: Finnigan 'Finn' Ryan

Age: 25 (12/24/2013)

Gender/Sexuality: Cis Male, Bisexual

Physical Appearance: 5'10", pale white with freckles across his entire body, green eyes, curly/fluffy ginger hair, Sleeper Build (strong twink)

Fun Facts: Has a very expansive CD collection! Owns a male betta fish named Sail! Him and his brothers all have names with double letters! He's a retro game/music nerd! Allergic to Pineapple but eats it anyways!

-

Lore!🧡

Born and raised in Ancorage, Alaska, Finn used to be a quiet shy kid who spent a lot of time taking care of his twin younger brothers Matthew (Matt) and Maxxwell (Maxx), before moving to Detroit, Michigan and getting into street racing and drugs during college (weed, he's clean now, but still likes to drive real fast). He graduated with a Masters in Criminal Justice and joined the Dertroit Police Force as a cop/detective, specifically working on civil and family cases Pre Android Revolution. In all that time, he avoided androids due to his mild phobia of them, a result of strong Uncanny Valley feelings, and preferred to work without any Android interference. Despite his fear, he ended up purchasing a cheap domestic Android, which he named Micha. He treated Micha like a science project, keeping him deactivated at all times to allow Finn to literally fiddle with the Androids insides, trying to understand the mechanics and code. It was a bad attempt to combat his fear and only made it worse. Post Failed Revolution, in which Hank dies, he's offered the opportunity to work with Connor in Hanks place. He takes the job, convincing himself it'll pay better, and he can work on his phobia if he's directly partnered with an Android. During the first mission, he feels out of place and anxious, having to shoot a deviant to save Connor. He's borderline terrified of Deviants, of how *human* they are, and almost immediately regret taking the job. The regret gets worse and worse as each case seems to result in nothing but him and Connor in danger. He yells at Connor, gets frustrated at himself, ect. Even so, he and Connor get closer and closer. No longer does Finn feel gross looking Connor in the eyes. Hell, he starts to *like* being around Connor. Only after a bunch more cases, some drunken/sleepy rambling, and a run-in with Gavin and Kamski does he realize he is, in fact, in love with Connor.

ANNNND I DONT WANNA RE WRITE THE WHOLE ROLEPLAY PLOT HAHA I MIGHT POST ABOUT IT OCCASIONALLY THO CUZ MAG IS SO GOOD AT WRITING AND I LOVE THE PLOT SO FAR!!!💙

I WILL be self-indulgent. I literally made Finn and started the role play BEFORE I even knew the actual plot of DBH!🧡💙

HEADCANONS ON PHILLIP GRAVES n John Price/Phillip Graves Ship :) [Scroll down if you're not interested and believe me when I say this post are just rambles with un-understandable sentence]

I know not all people like Phillip Graves from cod, don't even talk about shipping John Price with Graves

Like, when I first saw him, I was like "Sonovabich how dare you betray the 141 >:("

But like, after learning and seeing his personality (and reading my first Price/Graves fanfic), I realized that Price would be the right one for him :3 Tee Hee~

(I am unable to find them right words cuz my brain no worky worky rn but hear me out)

Hate me all you want but like, Price's calm, collected and gentlemen personality leveled Graves's broad, confident personality.

I don't think Graves as a person who's proud of themselves like "I am superior than you, I can do much better than you that you felt bad >:)" but rather, I see him as someone who's very independent, very confident of the choices he make, won't stutter even if he knew his opinions are wrong. (I bet he told others he could take down 10-20 people by himself in which I quite doubted) He's probably even more intelligent than what he looks like [I mean if he wasn't he wouldn't be the leader of the Shadow Company]

When I first saw him, something about him just screams leader material like loyalty, heavily caring when it comes to their teammates, precise planning and rarely wrong when comes to decisions

Other than that, they both quite have the same thing in common like they both lead a team/group/whatever it is called ~cuz my brain don't work rn~

Plus, they both(probably Graves) took care of their people well. Like when they're under attack and some of Shadows are injured, he'll probably checked on them by himself one by one like asking are they okay or if they need something else and such. I think Phillip would take the Shadows as his family, as his children[like how I think Price would with the tf 141]

It is quite sad to see that he betrayed the good for the bad :( but the plot must go on

Regarding the ship, other than leveled personality, I think they're suitable to comfort each other (like hurt/comfort but no hurt). I know that makes doesn't make hell of any senses but like, when one of them are having a bad and such they would both comfort each other, understood the things they're going thru as a leader(at least that's what I think).

Price sweet-talked Graves, maybe give him a squeeze on the hand and tell him that he has done more than enough or such; Graves would stood up and loudly give Price a pep talk when he's not fulfilled with his missions, probably messed up some small things while planning.

I just think they're suitable for each other y'know, I've never had a stronger urge to write about a character and giving away my headcanon to others in the fandom than this.

I just think Graves picked the wrong side and misunderstood not sure about this part :|

Anyway thanks for coming to my 'Ted talk' about Phillip Graves :3 and the John Price/Phillip Graves Ship, I pour this out from my heart with the last 2 and a half braincells I have so it's quite wacky and the points are not that good :(

Bye :)

Bravo six, going dark

[jamespotterthefirst]

Lovely Bree, how are you doing? Firstly thank you so much for the amazing questions that you sent me for E & P. I loved answering them❤ Sending you a few questions about Ethan and Lilac which you have to answer as them💕

For Both:

1. Imagine you both are rival Detectives assigned to a common case. Who will be the one to solve it first? Or will you both join hands and solve it together?

2. What is the funniest thing your partner has done when they were drunk?

3. Favourite ice cream flavor of your partner?

4. What is a funny habit of your partner that you secretly like?

5. Have you ever done something only and only to annoy your partner?

6. How does your partner react when they are jealous?

For Lilac:

1. If you had to say I love you to Ethan without actually saying the words, how would you do it?

2. What is something that would make Ethan blush immediately?

3. If you were given an option to choose between writing a letter to Ethan once every month or writing him small notes everyday, which one would you choose?

4. What is the sweetest gift he has ever given you?

5. If you had to assign your relationship a fanfiction trope, which one would you choose?

For Ethan:

1. What is something that you started doing after getting into a relationship with Lilac?

2. If you could pick any three places to take her on a date, which ones would you choose? (They can anywhere around the world)

3. You have been asked to put together a care package for Lilac. What things do you put in it?

4. Which hobbies/interests of Lilac do you find weird?

5. If you had to put together a bouquet for Lilac usig any two flowers, which ones would you choose?

Thank you so much for these! I am so happy you liked the Ethan x Pooja ones. And it means so much that you UNO reverse card-ed me! LOVE YOU!

For Both:

1. Imagine you both are rival Detectives assigned to a common case. Who will be the one to solve it first? Or will you both join hands and solve it together?

Lilac: *giddy with excitement*

Ethan: Here we go...

Lilac: First, rival detectives? That would be so hot. Ethan would secretly be in love with me, no doubt about it. He'd walk around his precinct, in a foul mood after a run-in with that insolent Detective Allende. He'd go on rants through gritted teeth about how she thinks she's above procedure and how she fancies herself a rebel--

Ethan: You're having way too much fun with this.

Lilac: --but really he'd be frustrated that he couldn't press me against a wall and kiss me senseless.

Ethan: *doesn't deny it* You're forgetting the original question, love.

Lilac: I'm setting the stage, babe. You being madly in love with me is important to the plot. Okay, so regarding the case... Even though we would each make impressive headway by ourselves, we are each missing a piece the other has. For example, I'd be pretty good about examining the timeline and interviewing suspects and any person of interest.

Ethan: Then, with the information she secures, I would be relentless about acquiring hard evidence that could really lead to a conviction. We would make a stellar team.

Lilac: Once you focused on the case and not on my lips.

Ethan: *with a ghost of a smile* An impossible feat but one I have years of experience trying to achieve.

2. What is the funniest thing your partner has done when they were drunk?

Ethan: My alcohol tolerance is excellent. I don't get drunk.

Lilac: Yes, he does. He might not be a loud, emotional drunk like I am, but his cheeks get flushed the cutest shade of red and his eyes sparkle in the sexiest way. He gets into this highly intellectual and argumentative state of mind, challenging anyone who is nearby to a philosophical debate. The funniest thing he's done while drunk is lecture my friends and I about why do we, as humans, strive for perfection if it is not attainable. It was hot.

Ethan: It was necessary.

Lilac: None of my friends were up for the challenge. It’s difficult to initiate an intellectual debate with Cardi B playing in the background and with tequila shots flowing freely amongst the group.

Ethan: Speaking of non-stop tequila shots, the funniest thing Lilac has done while intoxicated is text me incessantly, telling me how much she missed me and how badly she wished I was next to her.

Lilac: That’s more sweet than it is funny, babe.

Ethan: I was right next to you. I was the one holding you up for balance. 

3. Favourite ice cream flavor of your partner?

Lilac: My husband doesn’t care much for your run-of-the-mill ice cream pint. His favorite flavor is mascarpone with wild berries gelato. He also loves Affogato. Naturally. 

Ethan: Lilac loves most flavors, especially anything with dark chocolate. But even more than ice cream, she loves--

Lilac: Fro-yo

Ethan: -- frozen yogurt. Plain tart with strawberries, blueberries, and granola. 

4. What is a funny habit of your partner that you secretly like?

Ethan: I love the scented candles she’s so fond of having around the house. 

Lilac: I knew it!  My favorite funny habit of his is when he tucks Jenner in at night. He pretends that dog isn’t our fur baby, but Ethan plays the perfect father every day.

Ethan: He’s a pet, Lilac, not a child.

Lilac: He’s a baby and the being you professed to love most in the world.

Ethan: *holding her gaze* Not anymore.

5. Have you ever done something only and only to annoy your partner?

Lilac: Yes! I asked him to take me to Rome for our honeymoon only so I could order an Espresso Romano. 

Ethan: Exactly what I asked you not to do. 

Lilac: You mean what you were rambling about during our first date? Because I’m counting that.

Ethan: Fine. I was far too distracted by the beautiful doctor in front of me. It just slipped out. I never imagined I’d be marrying you one day and taking you on a honeymoon to Rome.

Lilac: But I bet if you knew that much then, you wouldn’t have minded.

Ethan: No, I wouldn’t have. 

6. How does your partner react when they are jealous?

Lilac: He clenches that magnificent jaw of his and speaks in growls. 

Ethan: *shaking his head* She stays really quiet and I can practically see the gears turning in her head. Then, minutes later, she’ll start asking me “causal” questions about the person she’s jealous of. 

Lilac: I have to gather as much intel as possible about this rival of mine.

Ethan: *lifting her hand to kiss her knuckles* There’s no such rivalry, love. No one will ever capture my attention like you have. 

For Lilac:

1. If you had to say I love you to Ethan without actually saying the words, how would you do it?

Lilac: I would hold his gaze as I press my body close to his, raising myself on my tip toes to press a single kiss on his cheek. I’d trace the pad of my thumb along his cheekbone, my other hand at his chest. I do it everyday... Everyday since the attack, when we couldn’t touch each other without plastic in the way. It’s my quiet way of telling him how much I love him and how I’m not going anywhere. 

2. What is something that would make Ethan blush immediately?

Lilac: *laughs* It’s so easy to make him blush for someone so stoic. A sure way is to lean in and whisper anything romantic in his ear. It can be anything really and he’ll turn beet red. It’s so endearing. He will get this little surprised look on his face, as though he can’t believe what’s happening.

Ethan: That’s because I can’t. I am unable to believe my luck that the most beautiful woman on Earth loves me as much as I love her.

*Lilac blushes. Ethan looks satisfied and completely in awe of her.*

3. If you were given an option to choose between writing a letter to Ethan once every month or writing him small notes everyday, which one would you choose?

Lilac: The notes, for sure! In fact, I already write him those almost every morning and ever evening. He even bought a magnetic whiteboard for the refrigerator for me to write those. He insists on taking a picture of them before we erase them. 

4. What is the sweetest gift he has ever given you?

Lilac: He flew my whole family from LA, including my grandma, to celebrate my last birthday in Cape Cod. It was the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me. 

5. If you had to assign your relationship a fanfiction trope, which one would you choose?

Ethan: What the hell is fanfiction?

Lilac: It’s exactly what it sounds like, babe. It’s pieces of fiction written about fans of a work. For example, people who love Harry Potter will then go and write their own works with these characters. 

Ethan: People do that?

Lilac: Hey, don’t knock it! Some people are so talented and put out excellent works. I used to read HP fanfiction when I was in high school and undergrad.

Ethan: I’m not judging at all. On the contrary, I’m surprised people do this for free. I admire the dedication.

Lilac: Our trope would absolutely be slow burn.

Ethan: ...?

Lilac: It means it took us entirely too long to end up together.

Ethan: Ah. In that case, I agree. 

For Ethan:

1. What is something that you started doing after getting into a relationship with Lilac?

Ethan: Homemade salsa. My wife is very particular about it and will eat most meals with it. She will not accept anything less than homemade and I love her for it. 

2. If you could pick any three places to take her on a date, which ones would you choose? (They can anywhere around the world)

Ethan: She doesn’t know this but, I am taking her to France for the final part of our honeymoon. Our schedules didn’t allow for the extended honeymoon we both wanted, so we split it up into parts. She still thinks it was only two parts, Rome and the Mayan Riviera, but I’m taking her to France next month. She’s always wanted to go to Paris, the countryside, and the French Riviera. 

3. You have been asked to put together a care package for Lilac. What things do you put in it?

Ethan: She told me about the candy her grandmother used to bring her from Mexico. Those would go in there. I’d add essential oils, since she’s fond of those. I’d add her favorite scented lotions and those fuzzy socks she collects. 

4. Which hobbies/interests of Lilac do you find weird?

Ethan: I don’t understand her complicated orders for iced coffee when we go to a coffeeshop. She will give the poor barista a long list of flavors she wants, describe in number of “pumps”. It’s iced coffee! There’s no amount of flavoring that could salvage that atrocity.  

5. If you had to put together a bouquet for Lilac using any two flowers, which ones would you choose?

Ethan: *smiles briefly* I would consider lilacs to tease her. She pretends to hate them because they’re her namesake and people have always assumed she likes them solely for that reason. Now, she likes them because she knows I am fond of them. They remind me of her for obvious reasons but also because they are the earliest flowers to bloom in Spring. They represent renewal, hope for something better to come, and first love. I found all of those things in Lilac. 

But since this bouquet is for her, I would use peonies and sunflowers since they are her favorites. Maybe jasmines since it’s her favorite scent.

kakashi hatake x fem!reader 

summary: after years of hinting and nudging your friend, kakashi, to take you out on a date, he just doesnt get it. but its okay, looks like someone else wants to take you out instead warnings: alcohol use, mentions of violence, mentions of injury, mentions of scar word count: 1923 part one - part two - part three / ao3 authors notes: howdy, i felt like writing a little something something. we got jealous kakashi and hes a little bit of an asshole about it but anywho... this is a three parter and its also been uploaded to ao3 so enjoy

You huffed and puffed as the cold canteen touched your lips, eternally grateful for the water you were pouring down your throat with one mighty scull. Wiping the sweat from your brow, a smile formed on your lips.

“Phew, you really got me there” you laughed, your breathing still erratic as your pulse began to slow down. 

“That’s because you’re easily distracted,” Kakashi teased, cooling off under a tree.

“I am not!” you protested through your laughter.

Sparring with Kakashi was always a great way to stay in shape. Always testing your limits and then some. Over the years you had your victories but Kakashi had more of them, still that didn’t deter you from bringing it your all when in friendly combat. 

The sun was high in the sky with no clouds to protect from it’s fiery beams. You stood with your hands on your hips, the training grounds behind you a vast field of trimmed green grass surrounded by towering oak trees. Kakashi always knew the best spots to train, the places no one thought to go. 

Kakashi wasted no time pulling out his novel, one knee bent while his other leg lay flat against the grass. Collected as if he hadn’t just sparred with you for an hour straight. “What about that escort mission from the Land of Stone?” he asked coolly, his eye scanning the pages in his hand.

“You don’t just get to see a baby boar every day” you defended. It’s not like there was any danger lurking around but you did linger there for far too long. Long enough for Kakashi to come along and pull you away before mama boar could come back and charge at your group. 

“Alright then, what about the bandit camp at the border?” 

Ah, that was a long time ago. Three years to be exact. Those pesky bandits kept you on your toes, that’s for sure. Two on one with only your kunai and a couple of shuriken to aid you. A flying kunai landed in your back near your shoulder blade, catching you off guard only for Kakashi to swoop in and fend the third bandit off for you. 

“I thought someone had my back.” you said, eyebrows raised though he still was not looking your way, nose still in his erotic fiction. That kunai had really hurt, you still had a scar. “Anyways, are you coming?”

Wordlessly, Kakashi snapped his book shut. Trading his shady spot under the tree for a spot next to your side in the sun. Walking back to the village along the dirt path, you engaged in your usual chatter. Mostly a stream of your thoughts entering your brain and exiting out of your mouth while Kakashi hummed and nodded. Years of friendship and he didn’t mind your rambling nor did he think you were annoying (well, he hadn’t expressed it anyway), it was good. Kakashi could be a man of few words when he wanted to be but you had more than enough for the both of you. 

“Any plans for tonight?” Kakashi asked out of the blue, finally glancing up from his book.

Heat gently started to rise to your cheeks but not enough to give yourself away. A part of you hoped this was going to be a lead in for him to make plans with you.

“Oh…no not really.” you said, eyes shifting from side to side.  “I mean…I kinda wanna try out that new restaurant...”

Hint, hint! Nudge, nudge! With a lingering side eye in his direction, you tried to catch his reaction. The slightest change in his brow or a twitch of his lips hidden behind fabric. However Kakashi seemed unfazed, flipping the page of his book as he walked along. “Why don’t you?” 

Okay, so maybe you need to lay it on a little thicker. Say no more. 

“It’s kind of a place for two, if you know what I’m saying…” you said, your head tilted towards him. 

Finally Kakashi lowered his book, his head turned to you. He must have finally gotten the hint, your eyes widened in hope. It was silent between you for a moment, and your expression told him you were expecting something, perhaps for your daydreams to finally come true. “Oh well, maybe one day you’ll have someone to go with”

Seriously? ‘You! I want to go with you!’ you wanted to scream but you composed yourself like you usually did. A heavy breath left your nostrils as you tried to keep your head high. Okay, one more try. 

“Yeah, like on a date. I think that would be really great, super cool actually, if someone that I really liked would take me there...on a date...romantically” 

That was obvious as you could make it without outright saying it. 

“Sounds okay, I guess” Kakashi said, shrugging as he considered it for a second.

Bubble burst. For someone who was excellent at strategy, formed his own jutsu, and knows a thousand others, this man had a thick skull. Was he truly oblivious to your hints? They weren’t exactly microscopic, more like a billboard with bright flashing lights around the border. Date me! Take me out on a date! For the love of all that is good in this forsaken world! Sure, you were your own woman. You could easily ask him yourself but it was more romantic to have him ask you. You loved that stuff. Flowers, romantic dinners, walking under the moonlight. There was nothing better than a chivalrous gentleman.

You had some inkling he might feel the same. Kakashi was a master of subtlety. His hands would gently come down on your waist when he squeezed past you, lingering there for a second too long. When sparing, he often pinned you down. Straddling you as he smiled with his eye, sometimes he’d stay there for an extra couple of minutes despite your protests. His fingers would brush against yours while you walked side by side. Normally you didn’t react and figured it was accidental even with your cheeks turning the colour of strawberries; Kakashi never let it be, pointing it out and bringing attention to it. Apologising profusely. Maybe you were too in your head about it. Taking every little gesture to heart because you desperately wanted him to feel the same too but you weren’t exactly foolish either. 

Another day, another attempt of dropping hints with nothing to show for it. Used to the disappointment, you accepted defeat the moment you stepped back into the bustling village streets. Mid afternoon and it was as busy as it normally was. Kids running around the streets, kicking balls and chasing each other. Women walking with their friends to teahouses for a pot of jasmine tea and gossip. Folks walking home from the market struggling to hold the heavy bags in their hands. The two of you wandered around without aim or purpose before Kakashi led you to the bookstore. The man had too many books as it was and yet he was going to buy another, not that you mind being dragged there. Kakashi had disappeared into a small, hidden corner of the bookstore where erotic fiction was stocked while you were browsing through cookbooks by the front of the store. Fingertips flicking through pages trying to find something good to make. 

Kakashi was right, you were easily distracted. Recipes using cod and cabbage had taken up all of your focus, leaving you unaware of the person standing next to you on your right. Head turned to you as if they were waiting for your head to pop up and notice them. It wasn’t going to happen, you were too engrossed in the instructions of ‘remove the bones and place them to the side for the broth’, so they cleared their throat loudly. 

That captured your attention, instantly your head snapped in their direction. 

“(Y/N)” Tanoshī said with a kind smile, giving you a little wave with one hand as the other held some random cookbook he had picked up in front of him. 

At first you were alarmed by the sudden sound but upon realising who was beside you, you instantly relaxed. Eyes and lips softening from a frown to a smile. Tanoshī was someone you had missions with occasionally, friendly towards everyone he encountered. You weren’t exactly close but when you did notice him, you would smile and wave. 

“Oh, hey! What’s up?” You asked, happy to bump into him like you usually were.

“Sorry to spring this on you but, uh, did you want to go out tonight? I really wanna try out that new place and you were the first person I thought of. It could be, ah, like a date, maybe?” He asked, his fingers flipped through pages yet his dark eyes were locked onto you. Scanning for the slightest change in your expression to hint at some impending rejection. 

“A date?” You asked, surprised at the offer.

You were glistening with sweat, bare arms covered in streaks of dry dirt and scratches, stray hairs sticking to your face and in various directions. Not exactly in an attractive state to be asked out, maybe that’s why Kakashi didn’t. Yet Tanoshī was standing beside you asking you out and you actually felt quite flattered. 

While you reflected on how flattered you truly felt, Tanoshī’s eyes darted about, one hand rubbing the back of his neck. 

“Yeah! I mean, you don’t have to if you don’t-“

“That sounds great actually! I would love to do that! Did you want to meet outside there at eight?” You interrupted him, happily accepting his offer.

It had been so long since you had been on a date. Even if it didn’t go anywhere you had an intense craving for romantic attention. Needing to feel some connection between people that made you appreciate the little things in life. If someone wanted to take you out, of course you were going to go. Besides it’s not like Kakashi is going to be asking you out any time soon, your hints hadn’t exactly been working in your favour. But who knows, maybe Kakashi might catch wind of it. Better yet, he might get jealous; you highly doubted it though.

Tanoshī had told you that eight worked for him and smiled brightly as he left the store with a wave in your direction. Clumsily you placed the book back on the shelf, eyes on Tanoshī as he walked down the street through the large store window. A smile of your own gently on your lips, someone really asked you out. It was quite flattering. You were about to tear your eyes away when you felt a presence behind you. “Sounds like you have someone to go with after all” 

When your head whipped around to meet Kakashi, you noticed he held a new book in his hand. One that wasn’t part of the Make-Out Paradise series, briefly you glanced at it but paid it no mind. Instead you were focused on the fact you had a date.

“It sure does!” your smile was wide but internally you were frowning. Wanting to whack him around the head and scream: it should be you taking me there! 

“Anyways, it looks like I have a date to get ready for” Your eyebrows wriggled around and Kakashi reacted as he usually did. One eyebrow raised in silence. With that you were walking out the door, a mini salute in Kakashi’s direction as you pulled the door wide open.

BORHAP MASTERLIST

Oh I need your love babe, guess you know it's true. Hope you need my love babe, just like I need you.

October 1976

“Brian, I look awful!” Y/N exclaimed, holding her hands in front of her face as she sat on her bed. Brian clutched his camera, hoping to take a photo of his girlfriend.

“You could never look awful, love. Just give me a smile, please?” Brian said, pleading lovingly to his girlfriend, pouting slightly in an attempt to persuade her. Y/N let out a reluctant groan before dropping her hands, causing Brian to kiss her cheek gratefully.

“Do you just want me like this?” Y/N asked, gesturing to her sloppy hair and the old house clothes she was wearing. Brian smirked and hovered over her, pressing a kiss to a soft patch of skin just behind her.

“You know I always want you. Especially like that.” Brian whispered, a somewhat seductive tone in his voice. He noticed Y/N shiver and his smirk grew at her reaction, but the smirk disappeared when she shoved him off of her suddenly.

“I assumed this photo wasn’t for the private collection, Brian. Are you going to prove me wrong?” Y/N said, raising her eyebrows as Brian picked up his camera, looking at Y/N through the lens.

“Maybe later, dear. For now, just stay like that.” Brian said, watching as Y/N rolled her eyes affectionately, her elbows resting on her knees as she sat cross legged.

Brian took a moment to appreciate her beauty, noting the way her smile always seemed to calm him and as his eyes slowly drifted downwards, he noticed that her lips were a shade of pink that she seemed to own. No one else could lay claim to that colour.

“Y/N?” Brian said casually, watching through the lens as her head perked up, giving him a smile of acknowledgement.

“Yeah Bri?” She said, and Brian took in a deep breath, fidgeting with the lens to mask his sudden bout of nervousness.

“I love you.” As soon as he said those three words for the first time, he snapped the photo, capturing the exact moment Y/N heard them for the first time.

Brian lowered the camera, watching as the polaroid spat out his photo, his eyes flicking up to Y/N until the photo was out of the camera and in his hand. “Brian, please tell me you meant that, and it wasn’t a gimmick for a good photo, because if it was, I will leave you right now.” Y/N said, looking at Brian with a soft intensity only she could muster.

Brian slid across the bed and took Y/N’s hand in his, gently rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand. “I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while I’m just not very good with feelings, plus I thought it would be nice too capture the moment it happened.” Brian said, rambling slightly as his free hand ran through his hair.

He took a deep breath and looked at Y/N, resting his forehead against hers. “Y/N, I truly do love you and every day when I see you, I count my blessings. All I can hope is that you need me, just like I need you.” Brian said, taking deep breaths as he tried to lower his erratic heart rate.

“Look at me, Brian.” Y/N said, placing her fingers under his chin and tilting his head up so they were making eye contact.

“I love you so much, you have no idea. I don’t know what I’d do without you, to be honest.” Y/N said, and Brian let out a relieved laugh, causing Y/N to smile widely at him.

“Oh thank God.” Brian mumbled, pressing kisses to Y/N’s face as his hands sat on her cheeks.

“Now that that’s all over with, how about you and I take some photos for the private collection, hmm?” Y/N said suggestively, and Brian’s face lit up as he grabbed the camera before pulling Y/N into a passionate, almost bruising kiss.

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me. I ain't got nothin' but love babe eight days a week

March 1977

Y/N took in a shaky breath, tears forming in her eyes as she clutched the magazine with a vice-like grip. She glanced down at the cover and upon seeing the low-quality photo of her with Brian and the scathing headline that accompanied it she began sobbing. 

She sunk down onto the cod bathroom floor, her grip loosening as her body became wracked with sobs. Y/N clutched her knees to her chest, her brain full of the hurtful comments made about her in the magazine.

As she sobbed the front door to her flat opened, and Brian called out her name softly, but she couldn’t hear him. The flat was quiet, but Brian could hear noises coming from the bathroom and as he got closer the sounds became clearer, and he immediately knew that Y/N was crying.

Brian gently opened the bathroom door and Y/N’s head shot up, her makeup ruined and her eyes bloodshot from crying. Brian let out a sad sigh and crouched down, wiping tears off Y/N’s face.

“What happened, love?” Brian asked after a minute or two, his hands still cupping Y/N’s cheeks. Her eyes drifted to the discarded magazine and Brian followed her gaze, his heart dropping when he saw it.

“You can’t let this stuff get you down, Y/N. It’s all bullshit, all of it. They’re just lowlifes trying their hardest to ruin people’s lives. You can’t give them the satisfaction of knowing their shit worked.” Brian said, stroking Y/N’s cheeks as he spoke.

“I know, but it’s so hard.” Y/N said, her voice croaky and Brian swore his heart shattered watching the love of his life so broken and weak.

“Can you hold me, please? I need to feel loved right now.” Y/N mumbled, rubbing her eyes and cringing when she saw the makeup on her hands as she pulled them away.

Brian nodded and stood up, reaching his hand out for Y/N to take. Once she did, he lifted her up off the ground and picked her up, carrying her in his arms to her bedroom and setting her down softly on her bed.

He quickly shed his shirt and jeans, crawling into bed next to Y/N in just his boxers. Y/N had taken off her trousers and jacket, leaving her in just the over-sized shirt she had borrowed from Brian that morning.

Brian’s arms snaked around Y/N’s waist as he pulled her flush against his chest, resting his face in the crook of her neck. “You know I’ll always love you, Y/N. There hasn’t been a day in any week where I’ve had anything but love for you.” Brian said, his breath tickling Y/N’s neck as he spoke.

Y/N’s cheeks went pink and she felt herself begin to relax, melting into Brian’s embrace. “You’re too good to me, Brian May.” Y/N said, wiggling slightly so she could roll over and look at Brian, his hair ruffled and his eyes full of love.

“I promise you, Y/N, it’s you who’s too good to me.”

Love you every day girl, always on my mind. One thing I can say girl, love you all the time

August 1977

“Brian, stop!” Y/N said, giggling as Brian picked her up, slinging her over his shoulder before marching into the bedroom, dropping her onto the bed.

“God you’re the worst.” Y/N muttered, rolling her eyes as Brian feigned a look of hurt, pressing a soft kiss to her lips that heated up quickly.

“You know you love it, Y/L/N.”

“Brian, come on mate! We’ve got an album to record.” Roger said, snapping Brian out of his daydream state. Brian nodded, trying to focus back on the work in front of him.

“Sorry Rog. Got distracted.” He said, picking his guitar up and slinging it over his shoulders, plucking at the strings to check that it was still in tune.

“I could tell. You were thinking about Y/N, weren’t you?” Roger said, and Brian’s cheeks flushed as he strummed the guitar, trying to avoid Roger’s gaze.

“Wow, Roger how did you guess? Well, you have this look that you do whenever you’re thinking about her. It’s a weird cross between bedroom eyes and the super excited face you pull when you see a dog in the street.” Roger said teasingly, and Brian huffed, rolling his eyes.

“Ease off, mate.” Brian said, and Roger smirked, shaking his head as he walked into the recording booth and began to fidget with his drumkit.

“You must really love her.” John said, causing Brian to jump at his sudden appearance. Brian put his guitar down, running a hand through his hair.

“Christ, Deacy.” He muttered, and John let out a soft chuckle at his reaction. “I do love her, really. She’s always on my mind and I’ve never felt like this before, which is why I bought this.” Brian said, pulling out the velvet box that held a ring that was soon to adorn Y/N’s left hand.

John gave Brian a sincere smile, pulling him into a brief hug before sitting down next to him on the small couch. “Congratulations in advance.” John said, and Brian nodded, smiling as he slipped the box back into his pocket.

“Thanks mate. You reckon she’ll say yes?” Brian said, and John gave him a dumbfounded look, his eyebrows furrowed.

“Of course she will. Brian, you two are so in love it’s sickening. You’re worse than Veronica and I when we first got together and that’s saying something.” John said, causing Brian to go slightly pink in the cheeks.

“Thanks, Deacy. I really appreciate it.”

Eight days a week, I love you. Eight days a week is not enough to show I care

November 1977

“Brian? I’m home!” Y/N called, shrugging off her coat as she entered their shared flat. 

“In the kitchen, love.” Brian shouted, and Y/N chuckled, nodding to herself as she walked into the kitchen. There she was met with the sight of a beautifully decorated table, two plates of home cooked food and her boyfriend in a well-tailored suit, holding two glasses of wine.

“Brian, what’s all this for? Have I forgotten an anniversary or something?” Y/N asked, pecking Brian’s lips and taking the glass of wine he held out to her.

“Can I not spoil my brilliant girlfriend for no reason? Must I have an ulterior motive?” Brian said, and Y/N laughed softly as she sat down opposite Brian, sipping some of the wine once she was seated.

“You’re such a romantic, I love that.” Y/N said, and Brian gave her a loving smile, the box in his pocket seeming to weigh a ton.

“Please, eat. I spent quite a while cooking so I don’t want it to go to waste.” Brian said, and Y/N immediately picked up her cutlery, clearly enjoying the plate of pasta before her.

They ate dinner and caught up on their days, and by the end of the meal they had moved to the couch, wine glasses in hand. Brian’s free arm was around Y/N’s shoulders as she curled into him, her head against his chest.

Brian took in a deep breath, remembering the reason he had organised the dinner. “Y/N, there’s something I need to ask you.” Brian said, setting his wine glass down on the coffee table and clearing his throat.

“Ask away, darling.” Y/N said, and Brian nodded, taking Y/N’s hand into his.

“Y/N, without a doubt you are the person I love and trust most in the world. I believe the Beatles got it right when they said, ‘eight days a week is not enough to show I care.’ I can’t imagine my life without you in it so, I’d like to ask you to spend our lives together and marry me… if you’ll have me, that is?” Brian said, dropping to his knee and pulling out the velvet box, opening it so Y/N could see the ring inside.

“Of course I’ll marry you, Brian.” Y/N said, laughing slightly at Brian’s relieved gasp as he slid the ring onto her finger.

“I can’t wait to marry you, Y/N.” Brian said, a look of total love on his face as he stared at his fiancée. 

“I love you Brian, but please shut up and kiss me.” Y/N said, and Brian’s look of adoration shifted into one of smugness, gently cupping Y/N’s cheek.

“Your wish is my command, darling.”

A Gem On The Mediterranean – 10 Things To See And Do While Attending The INTA Annual Meeting In Barcelona

Barcelona may be my favorite city in the world.  It is certainly a top contender.  Because one of my dearest friends is a native Barcelonian, I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited multiple times, and I have also had one of the best tour guides you could hope for.  So when I found out that the 2017 International Trademark Association (INTA) Annual Meeting (May 20 -24) was being held in BCN (a common abbreviation for the city and its airport), I had only one question – Where do I sign up?

See this post in Spanish.

A Bit About the City

Barcelona, the capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia, is nestled on the Mediterranean on the northeast coast of Spain.  An ancient city (one unverifiable legend suggest that Barcelona was founded by Hannibal’s father, Hamilcar Barca, and eponymously named Barcino in the 3rd Century BC), Barcelona was an important center of commerce for the Roman Empire by the 3rd Century AD.  It fell to the Visigoths in the 5th Century, came under Moorish control in the 8th Century, was taken by the son of Charlemagne in the early 9th Century, came under the Crown of Aragon in the 12th Century, and then came under the rule of the Spanish monarchy with the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in 1469. In the 20th Century, as home to Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Antoni Gaudí, the ancient city became a wellspring of all things Modern.

Given its storied history, Barcelona teems with architectural, artistic, and cultural wonders, and offers cuisine and gastronomy that is virtually unparalleled.  If you’re going to be there for the Annual Meeting, I definitely recommend removing your “I am at a conference” blinders so that you can take a good look around.  Need some help?  Here are ten things that I would recommend checking out.  And remember, this list could be ten times longer, so try to save some time for exploration – you won’t be sorry.

Look Up!

The architecture in Barcelona is almost unbelievable.  Gaudí is a main reason why.  This Modern architect and designer, heavily influenced by the Gothic Revival, transformed the look and feel of the city.  Structures like Casa Milà, also referred to as La Pedrera (“the quarry”), give Barcelona an other-worldly aura.  But that’s not all – you can take a stroll around Barcelona’s ancient Roman walls, visit the Gothic-era Barcelona Cathedral, behold the unlikely eminence of the colorful-by-night Torre Agbar, or bask in the Modern splendor of the Palau de la Música Catalana (The Music Palace of Catalonia). 

There is all this and so much more.  No matter your taste, there are sure to be at least a few buildings in Barcelona that you will adore.

Tuck In!

Get ready to eat.  Is fine dining your thing?  If so, you are in luck!  Barcelona has long been a hotbed of gastronomic excellence and innovation.  As head chef of the (sadly) shuttered, but still legendary El Bulli restaurant, Ferran Adrià put Barcelona on the international culinary map when he rose to the role of head chef in the 1980s.  Molecular gastronomy took hold, and Barcelona didn’t look back.  Mr. Adrià’s younger brother Albert, who was the pastry chef at El Bulli, has since put on a new apron and proved himself to be his brother’s equal in crafting savory fare.  His Tickets and Bodega 1900 restaurants are considered among the best in the world.  Jordi Cruz, who at the age of 26 was the second youngest chef ever to be awarded a Michelin star, now serves his creative cuisine at ABaC Restaurant and Hotel.

If trendy isn’t your cup of tea, there’s no need to worry.  Barcelona overflows with wine bars, tapas and pintxos places, traditional Spanish restaurants, and seafood for days.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Bring your appetite, because you’re going to need it.

Check out a Museum

Is art your thing?  Barcelona’s got it.  The Picasso Museum features some of the artist’s Modern masterpieces, like selections from the Las Meninas series, but it also features many of his early, pre-Cubist works, which sheds some light on Picasso’s evolution as an artist.  The National Museum of Catalonia has a wide ranging collection of works from Roman times to contemporary art.  The Joan Miró Foundation is a personal favorite.  I have a great appreciation for Miró, and a print purchased at the museum hangs in my office.

Take a Stroll in the Parc

Park Güell (or “Parc” in the native Catalan language), is a series of public parks and architectural elements located in Barcelona on Carmel Hill.  It is stunning.  Originally conceived by Spanish entrepreneur Eusebi Güell as a residential enclave for the wealthy, Güell entrusted the task of designing the compound to Gaudi, his lifelong friend.  Reportedly, Güell once said to Gaudí, “I don’t like your architecture, I respect it.”  This is a sentiment I don’t share, but I don’t think Güell stood alone in that thought.  In any event, the park never became a commercial success.  Only two houses were ever built on the property, including the one Güell died in.  In 1923, the Güell family gifted the park to the city of Barcelona.

Visit a Church that Has Been Under Construction for 135 Years

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (“Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family”), commonly referred to as the Sagrada Familia, is large Roman Catholic church designed by Gaudí. (Are you sensing a theme?)  It is his as yet incomplete magnum opus.  Construction of the structure commenced in 1882, and has continued fairly constantly (there was an interruption due to the Spanish civil war) until this day.  The sixth and final construction phase started in 2010 and current projections call for completion in 2026, which will mark 100 years since Gaudí’s death.  La Sagrada Familia is also the architect’s final resting place.  This masterful combination of Gothic and Art Nouveau styles is open daily from 9 am to 8 pm at this time of year.  There is an area for worship and contemplation within the basilica, but regular masses are not currently being held.

Set Aside Some Time for Marketing

The modern supermarket is a fact of life throughout much of the world, and Barcelona is no exception.  But BCN’s network of neighborhood food markets still plays a vital role in the life of the city.  Need fresh fruits and vegetable, meats or fish?  No problem.  Need two chicken eggs, one duck egg, salt cod that has been pre-soaked in water for two days, and a big slice of Spanish tortilla?  You can get all that, too – and much more.  Many of the markets also have small restaurants, cafés, bars or snack counters.  They are a great place to grab a quick lunch or an afternoon snack.  The best known market, La Boqueria, attracts locals and a lot of tourists.  I suggest you check out the Santa Caterina market.  It has been open since 1948, but was remodeled in 2005.  It is worth the trip just to get a peek at the roof.

See the Sea

Barcelona was once regarded as the city that turned its back on the sea.  The 1992 Summer Olympics changed all that.  Much of the city got a makeover for its international coming out party, and the Mediterranean port was transformed.  Railroads, warehouses, and other structures that cut the city off from the sea were removed and the seven kilometers of seashore was made new.  The Barceloneta is a triangular piece of land that cuts into the Mediterranean, and features the Old Port (Port Vell) on one side and beaches on the other.  Sunday is paella day, and this is the area you want to visit to sample Spain’s national dish.  There are tapas restaurant, “chiringuitas,” which are beachside bar and snack places, an aquarium, and more, including the historic streets of La Barceloneta, a neighborhood bordered by the sea.

Climb (or Ride) Up a Hill

Montjuic Hill overlooks the city.  You can walk up (and check out the Olympic stadium on your way), or, if you are in a hurry, you can take the Montjuic funicular or the cable car from the Barceloneta.  Bring a camera (or make sure your smart phone has a full charge), because you are going to want to take pictures.  The views of the city are amazing.  While there, you can see the National Palace, which houses the National Museum of Catalonia, or visit the 17th century Montjuic Castle, an old military fortress.  The Joan Miró Foundation is nearby, too.  If you can manage to be there at 9 pm on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, you can watch the show at the Montjuic Magic Fountain, a mixture of water, lights and music that is a lot more fun than 2-D videos might imply.

Get out of town?

If you are one of those people who likes to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, even when you are on vacation at a conference, then Sitges (it’s pronounced SEE-chuss, btw) may be the place for you.  This beach town is about 35 kilometers southwest of Barcelona and you can reach it by train.  You can stay the night or just spend the day.  A “must see” destination for LGBTQ travelers (but everyone is welcome!), Sitges combines the feel of a quiet beach town with a thumping night life.  There really is nothing quite like it.

Ramble Along La Rambla

Okay, it’s pretty much a tourist trap these days.  La Rambla is a tree-lined open air mall/pedestrian way that connects the Plaça de Catalunya with the Old Port.  There are vendors, street performers, restaurants, cafés and bars, and a lot of people.  Why bother?  It’s a nice walk and you can stop by the Boqueria market on your way.  And, for whatever reason, you cannot go to Barcelona without walking the Rambla at least once.  If you don’t, they might not let you leave.  I tease, of course, but still recommend that you check it out.  If you are coming from abroad, this is a great place to stop by on your first day when jetlag is at its worst.  Watch your wallet, and feel assured that you will be able to order something to eat or drink from a multi-language menu at one of the tourist restaurants.  You may as well order una jarra de sangria (a pitcher of sangria) while you are at it.

Bonus

This list is a good place to start, but it only scratches the surface.  Barcelona is full of music and theater, cabaret and dancing, and night clubs that are really open all night.  I encourage you to think about the things you like to do most and do a little bit of quick research.  Whatever you are looking for probably will not be hard to find.

  Most of all, bon viatge and have a great time.  See you there!

Alejandro / Period care

note - apparently I wrote this in april. Then forgot. Enjoy.

content notes: alejandro vargas x f! reader. periods. menstrual cycle.

alejandro is accommodating, if not a little overbearing. he’ll do everything in his power to make you comfortable and relaxed. he’ll do just about anything you ask.

he’s carrying you from the bedroom, he’s tying and putting your shoes on for you, he’s helping you shower, he’s doing all the chores.

In all honesty, he’s not the most knowledgeable on the symptoms and feeling side as much as he knows the basics of what’s going on.

however he will learn your schedule. he’s a little freak like that.

Alejandro is putting you in his clothes and that is final.

he will coo and baby you but if you snap at him he finds it hot.

if you ever need to lay down, he’s there, holding you and laying with you. sometimes he dozes off with a hand on your lower back. Sometimes he’ll hum or ramble softly, with his voice low and rumbling while he holds you against his chest.

promotes any clingy behavior. kiss his neck and clutch onto him all day and he’s in some sort of heaven.

he’s got a water tracker going in his head for your hydration and he is obsessive over it during your period. also promotes the balance of sweets and comfort versus nutrition and Actual Food.

he’ll cook you anything you ask for though.

overall, he’ll do anything you ask and treat you anyway you ask. you’re not in too much pain but you’re just a bit tired? he’ll still cook and make sure you’re getting enough to eat. you wanna be in princess mode all week? he’s there, doing absolutely anything you ask.

will make at least one joke about how he could ease your pain 😏

becomes the most doting version of himself for a week; he’ll buy you anything and spoil you more than he already does. he’ll sit with you and watch what you’re looking at.

as usual, super respective of you, especially regarding sex; he wants to make sure you don’t feel guilty for turning down sex, especially right now.

that being said, if you do want it… he’s just as doting what did you expect. you’re the pillow princess; he’s taking care of everything. He’s got a towel, tissues, toys, whatever you want and need for right now.

moonlit

gaz drabble because he’s just so boyfriend <3

content notes: gaz x f! reader; implied chubby/more full body type. oral. soft gaz whose still in charge. no beta we die like men.

“lay down for me, love,” Kyle murmurs, the tired seeping into his voice as he kneels onto the bed. the curtains almost pulled, with just enough moonlight dancing in, his hands finding your hips.

“you’re tired, Kyle, we don’t have to-“

“ahh, shh, I want to,” he softly interjects, his voice even softer now, “I’ve missed you a lot babydoll.”

you hum in response, his hands moving up your back to your shoulders- warmth seeping into your skin as his fingers found the knots in your muscles, gently working them out as a soft moan escapes you.

“‘ve missed you so much,” his lips kiss your shoulder feather-light, working down as his hands follow, resting on your hips again as his thumbs rub comforting circles there.

“missed you too,” you manage, the softness of the bed mixing perfectly with the softness of your boyfriend, making you melt further into your own sleepiness.

kyle pulls on the sides of your panties, pulling them down over your thighs as your hips rise to help- a groan leaving him as he looks down at your thighs and pussy; perfectly plush and waiting on him. his hands massaging your ass softly, moans leaving your mouth thoughtlessly, a warmth spreading through your tummy at the intimacy of his gentleness.

“tomorrow i’ll make sure to leave you marked up,” he teases, trailing kisses from the small of your back to the back of your thighs, “but not tonight.”

his hands pull apart your thighs, his touch burning their warmth there, pulling your hips up in a motion to keep you on your knees- his hands gripping the soft flesh of your thigh in a much rougher massage, kneading the softness while your pussy displayed before him. his lips working up the inside of your thigh, ever soft but firm, with his stubble tickling your skin. his kisses savoring every part of your softness, licking the skin as your pussy warmed and your tummy tightened.

“i’d keep you like this if i could, lovie,” kyle teases, pressing a chaste kiss to your pussy, “on display for me.”

A whine leaves your lips as you try to move your hips back, impatience brewing, only for his hands to hold you tighter in place,

“ah, ah, you’ve been good so far, baby girl,” he lightly scolds with a nip to your thigh, “you know how to act, isn’t that right?”

“yes, sir,” you respond, your face lighting up in a blush that seeped to your chest, his light chuckle only fanning that flame,

“good girl,”

another whine left you at the name, at the attention given to you and lack of for your body, on display for your boyfriend to tease and use- his lips placing another kiss on your pussy as a little reward, his hands pulling your legs further apart. face down, ass up, unable to get out of his position quickly with his grip- a long lick along your slit just to make you try to buck as he hums to himself. his lips finally decide on staying for longer than a moment, softly working at your slit with what could only be categorized as a growl- his hands gripping you tighter, his tongue hastily working at your slip to taste as much of you as he could in that moment, burying his face in your pussy. his tongue massaging across your slit and clit, taking time to circle and stimulate your clit just enough before diving in to taste you more. your own moans growing in volume as his lips finally wrapped around your clit- sucking and focusing on the bundle of nerves with a fervor as you buck your hips with a gasp, his hands holding you tighter against him- definitely leaving bruises in their wake.

moans leaving your lips as his hands kept you locked in place, your body tingling with pleasure at the attention he was dead-set on giving your pussy- sucking on your clit with more force, his tongue running over it every so often, your legs trembling at both the position and loving-attention of your boyfriend, with the tightness in your stomach only growing with kyle’s fervor. his hands re-grasping your hips to keep them against his face as you attempted to grind against him. his focus staying on your clit, waves of constant pleasure rushing through you warmly, your stomach tightening and breaking- a moan ripping from you as he continued his assault, your body convulsing under him as your pleasure crashed through you- his mouth only stopping as you slumped against the bed, tension gone.

“you did wonderful for me, love,” kyle murmurs, laying your hips back down onto the bed as you panted, his hands running up your back to your shoulders, running under where you laid to massage your breasts, “still sleepy?”

“mhmm,” your hum is soft, his fingers pinching your nipple only enough to feel, his hips laid down on top of your own- a bulge pushing into the soft flesh of your ass.

“think you could stay awake a little longer for me?”

my collection of rambles : C.o.D. (I)

some of these I’ve sent to other tumblr blogs askboxes, such as @lucyisdoingfine and @southernbluebellereader under my main account ( @vangoghcoffeeco ) or as a ☕️ anon. so you might have seen those before, but they’re all me :)

notes, warnings and such:

some poly [gaz-price, 141, alej-rudy] - explicit - some fluff - fem reader - a lot of alejandro i love him - domestic thoughts

this is just my notes app series but for COD

characters: alejandro, rodolfo, john price, gaz, ghost, soap. 

Alejandro coming home, pulling you into the bedroom with him and just basking in each other’s presence quietly. Alej silently pulling off your clothes until you’re comfortable as he does the same. Laying down together in bed, bodies pressed together and faces only inches apart. His deep breaths silently signaling the stress of the day that was slowly lightening. His hands gently cradling your face with soft thumb strokes as he lazily kisses you to his content.

He ^ will 100% try to weasel out of minor begrudges with sweet talking and Spanish pet names.

Alejandro sitting with you after dinner, watching tv while his hand runs up your legs, his hands trailing up your skirt while his touch is sure but gentle.

✨ alejandro growls when he cums ✨

On that note, he ^ is rather vocal and doesn’t typically try to stifle it. Will be purposefully louder if gagged. Anywhere from low groans and moans, whimpers, to full on growling. Noisy mf.

Alejandro, Price, and Gaz have the capability to be a mean dom every once in a while. Manhandling, mocking, spitting.

Rudy grappling with unresolved emotions towards Alej while being with you; wanting the two of you while worrying over the complexity it would add. Discussing it with you to be on the same page, the addition of Alejandro being welcome if he wanted that. Gaining a blind moment of stupidity or confidence to Fuck you in Alejandro’s office, taking photos and frustratingly short clips of your body on the desk. Rudy leaving a cryptic note in a bad post orgasm mind fog on the desk. Alejandro acting on it and getting a wonderful shot of you sprawled out on his desk with his best friend fucking you on it.

Painal 👏🏻 rudy. He knows how to do it safely and loves if it’s both you and Alejandro doing it to him. Especially if it’s just around the house when all three of you are actually home, Alej grabbing his throat lightly to tease his hole just to leave him to do something else & you teasing his cock. Sometimes it’s your strap, sometimes it’s alejandro; Rudy’s favorite though is when he’s on his back, hips off of the side of the bed as Alej forces himself inside, with you resting pretty on his cock- just using him as a stress reliever and ignoring him as long as you two feel like it. Alejandro is really more likely to do it when he’s ungodly stressed out and knows Rodolfo’s body can handle more roughness than you. If you do it, it’s so much more overwhelming- what dildo did you pick, how long are you doing to fuck him without mercy. Rudy used to do it with dildos to himself before the three of you did together. Alejandro caught him once after he heard him groaning and it awoke something in him. Rudy didn’t realize for a moment that this happened and that only made it worse for Alej.

I wanna eat an ice cream cone in front of Ghost :)

Being with Gaz while both of you are Price’s playthings 😌 Gaz fucking you outside of Price’s office as he tries to work, the two of you being just loud enough to be bothersome while price is forced to ignore the bulge in his pants.

Gaz absent minded and lost in his thoughts while just. nibbling on your shoulder.

(a broad horny thought that could apply to anyone) him coming home and finding out you bought one of those strong wand vibrators. Holding you down and torturing you with it till you half black out

being free use for the 141 🥴 anyone fucking you whenever they want. Being a little stress relief toy while providing some domesticity. Getting bred into nothing just for another one of them to pull you aside.

A bit more on that: Price anal and throat training you so you can take anyone anywhere; slowing allowing the others to use you as they please while you still feel great from it. Starting with dildos and buttplugs till you can handle him. Inviting Ghost to watch and stroke himself. Allowing Ghost to gradually join in with you and Price till they’re both stuffing your holes. Price encouraging Ghost to go hard so you’ll get used to it. Soap and Gaz being introduced until you’re just a good little stress you for them. Of course there’s rules; there’s safe words and hard no’s. Whoever used you has to clean you up and take care of you. You have every right to stop it if you’d like.
