So everyone talks about praise kink right? But I think there's something to be said for a reassurance kink.
"That's it, you're doing it right, darling, don't worry."
Any guidance through even the simplest of tasks.
"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."
Feeling weight, like a hand resting on a shoulder or thigh.
Making eye contact and getting a smile and nod back that says, you're doing great, keep going.
Being hushed or swayed while receiving back rubs.
Being fully surrounded by their body while they say, "it's okay now, I'm here, you're safe."

Streeter’s Girl PART 1
A Dominique Luca X Y/N fic
Plot - Based on the Rick Springfield song ‘Jessie’s Girl’ but with a twist. Y/N is part of the LAPD working at SWAT HQ and is great friends with all of the 20 David Squad.
Luca has a crush on Y/N but always sees her giggling with Street and making him blush, he doesn’t want to ruin his friendships with either of them but just can’t help pining and feeling a little jealous……but maybe Luca has got the wrong end of the stick 👀
Authors note - This is my first time posting a fanfic, I had this idea one evening at like 4am and decided to write it out. Idk how long this is gonna end up being 💀
Warnings - tiny bit of swearing, might go crazy and write some smut one of these days 🤷🏻♀️
Luca cant help but glare over at them both. They are sat way too close for his liking and Y/N said something obviously hilarious because Street is blushing and giggling with her. He can’t help the eye roll and the huff that escapes his lips, he tries cleaning his gun as a form of distraction, unfortunately it doesn’t last long as his mind wanders.
I don’t understand why they are hiding it from everyone? It’s obvious right?
He thinks to himself
They are 100% dating, the way she looks at him with those eyes….. those goddamn beautiful sparkling eyes….
Luca has to snap himself out of the his daydream as he sees those gorgeous eyes along with the rest of her moving towards him.
“Oh h-hey kid” Luca stutters as he tries to regain his usual calm demeanour.
“Hey Luca, you still alright driving me home from Annie and Deac’s party tomorrow evening?” Y/N asks with her usual kind smile. She never wants to put anyone out of their way so she wanted to double check that Luca was still okay with what he had originally offered to do.
“Of course Y/N, I told you I would and I’m a man of my word” Luca winks with a cheeky grin.
“Well thank you again” Y/N embraces him with a warm hug, this was a usual occurrence for the two of them, both being very affectionate towards they’re friends and as such, each other.
Luca gently sighs as he watches the woman he’s secretly fell in love with walk away, once again being none the wiser of his affections.
————————————————————
Y/N POV
I don’t know why I’m so anxious, this is just a little party with all of my friends…… including the one man I’ve had the biggest crush on ever since I met him. Dominique fucking Luca….
Chris and I get out of her car, tonight was the night I promised myself I’d finally get her and Street to confess their feelings. I knew how Chris felt about him for a long time but it’s only been recently Jim confessed to me how he felt about her, which in turn made me want to tease him constantly and make him blush. We have formed a brother/sister like relationship where it’s basically constantly annoying and embarrassing one another. It’s great honestly!
“C’mon Y/N let’s get in there!” I hear Chris call me from standing on the front porch.
As we join the party, greeting everyone with hugs and smiles, I immediately notice him. He’s wearing a dress shirt and some very nice fitting jeans and he’s walking straight towards me oh shit oh shit keep cool stay calm!!!!
“Hey Chris, hey Y/N” Luca smiles and waves at us both. I feel like he glances down at what I’m wearing and I instantly feel shy under his gaze but I’m probably overreacting, he doesn’t see me as anything more than a friend, right?
As the night progresses I mentally cheer as I notice Street and Alonso getting extra friendly over in the corner, I’m so pleased that they have finally told each other how they feel!
I decide my job here is done and make my way to find my ride home.
“Ready to head off now?” Luca says as I approach him.
“Yeah that’d be great, thanks again for the ride” I say.
We walk out to his truck and I climb in the passenger seat. Classic rock is quietly playing through the speakers and we sit in comfortable silence.
“You alright there kid?” Luca breaks the stillness. I’m not really sure where this has come from but as I’m feeling calm and absolutely okay I reply as such.
“It’s just…. I saw you watching Street and Chris kissing…that must have been hard for you to see” He cautiously replies as to not upset me.
“….wait, what?” I’m completely lost now.
“Well, you and Street, were kinda becoming a thing….right?” He murmurs as he focuses back on the road.
I can’t help the giggle that erupts from my chest “oh Luca” I huff out between breaths “Street is basically like a brother to me!”
I notice Luca’s brows furrow in confusion “but what about all the whispering and the giggles and the blushing?” He rambles.
It’s like a lightbulb went off in my head “Oh you idiot!” I slap his arm affectionately, “I’ve been teasing Streeter because he told me about his crush on Chris the other week, I was the one who encouraged him to finally ask her out.”
“Oh.” He says whilst scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. “I had definitely got the wrong end of the stick” Luca chuckles.
“Yes, you did” I giggle out. “Why have you been watching me and Street so closely huh? Were you jealous?” I jokingly say whilst I nudge my shoulder against his.
I’ve never seen Luca go this red before!
“You were!” I gasp pointing at him then the realisation hits “…… wait…. You were?” I question sincerely.
He pulls his truck onto my driveway and sighs as he turns the engine off.
“Yeah, Y.N, I was a little jealous….. I know, it was stupid.”
“Why were you jealous Luca?” I gently push the subject.
“Because I like you, a lot actually.” He looks over just as I lean over the to gently touch my lips to his.
It feels like time just stops.

“Luca, you’ve been eating the same banh mi sandwich every Sunday from the same place after surfing the same break for 20 years. AND you freaked out when I moved the toaster oven to make way for the blender.”

I mean, I know Shemar Moore is the main character on SWAT, but can we talk about how perfect of a boyfriend Luca would be to whoever got to be his S/O?

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?
Everybody, apparently: No?

“Dogs don’t know what they look like. Dogs don’t even know what size they are. No doubt it’s our fault, for breeding them into such weird shapes and sizes. My brother’s dachshund, standing tall at eight inches, would attack a Great Dane in the full conviction that she could tear it apart. When a little dog is assaulting its ankles the big dog often stands there looking confused — “Should I eat it? Will it eat me? I am bigger than it, aren’t I?” But then the Great Dane will come and try to sit in your lap and mash you flat, under the impression that it is a Peke-a-poo… Cats know exactly where they begin and end. When they walk slowly out the door that you are holding open for them, and pause, leaving their tail just an inch or two inside the door, they know it. They know you have to keep holding the door open. That is why their tail is there. It is a cat’s way of maintaining a relationship. Housecats know that they are small, and that it matters. When a cat meets a threatening dog and can’t make either a horizontal or a vertical escape, it’ll suddenly triple its size, inflating itself into a sort of weird fur blowfish, and it may work, because the dog gets confused again — “I thought that was a cat. Aren’t I bigger than cats? Will it eat me?” … A lot of us humans are like dogs: we really don’t know what size we are, how we’re shaped, what we look like. The most extreme example of this ignorance must be the people who design the seats on airplanes. At the other extreme, the people who have the most accurate, vivid sense of their own appearance may be dancers. What dancers look like is, after all, what they do.”
— Ursula Le Guin, in The Wave in the Mind (via fortooate)

You know what people don’t talk about often enough? Playing catch up in life after spending your teens or early 20s suicidally depressed. There’s so many more layers than just being able to say “I don’t want to die anymore.”
The difficulty in academia or a career after spending years thinking you wouldn’t be alive long enough for any of it to matter.
The exhaustion that comes from self awareness and self soothing, with the constant voice in your head saying “don’t go backwards.”
How lonely it is to watch the people your age starting families when you’re just barely learning what stable relationships are, and the sudden societal pressure of being “up against a clock” for these kinds of things.
The judgement from others if you change your image or interests this late in the game just because you finally figured out who you really are under the demons.
Be kind to those who are developing and blooming after years of not planning on being here long. We are living a life we absolutely didn’t think we’d have, and it’s hard enough without society reminding us there’s expectations of our age.
We didn’t get to be young; we were too busy fighting battles few know.
