WIP: Quietudeย (Whispers of Nature)
Pairing: Hyunjin x gender neutral!reader

Triggers: mentions of death

Hyunjin leaves his pond.ย
Itโs not a good idea. It never is. Even in the shady forest, there is always the chance that the sun could dry out his skin before he returns to the water, could render him insane, babbling, and possibly dead of dehydration before anyone (the dryads donโt often pay attention) finds him.ย
But Hyunjin wonโt stay where he is after what Chan told him last night. Canโt. So his feet storm over to the ring where he knows the fae will be, or at least where Hyunjin can call him and know that he will receive an answer.ย
โHan.โ
The half name leaves his lips with a scalding rage that burns on his tongue even more than the sun itches to burn his skin. Bitterly, Hyunjin reflects on his small mercies - he didnโt even use the faeโs full name, his true name, which wouldโve exposed Jisung to the entire forest and no one could fault him for seeking that sort of revenge - but then the fae himself appears in the ring and all thoughts of mercy fly away in favor of rage.ย
โYou called?โ Jisung says, words as easy as air.ย
Hyunjin sees red.
Sneak peek for the part two of Heart of Glass. It keeps getting delayed. Your author is sick with stuffy nose. Dripping like a damn faucet. It's far from being finished.

โ it wasn't your place to dictate what his heart wants but sometimes you wished his affections were directed to you โ just once. was it difficult to spare you crumbs of affection or when Zayne noticed how you start to pull away from him and it was too late for him to realize how damaged the relationship was you desperately trying to build and you got tired of wanting him. can he still get you back? or must he turn to drastic measures?
notes. requested by @itsmearia01 . to be continued in part two
content warnings. angst + unrequited love + arranged marriage + emotional neglect + emotional cheating + non mc reader + insecurities + doubts + lack of affection + slow burn + drinking + clubbing.
It is said the most successful of marriages comes from respect and it shall evolve to mutual understanding for the parties involved.
That's what you thought to yourself when you come of age that you were informed of a arranged marriage to your childhood friend, Zayne.
It had come to that arrangement for Zayne's parents have saved your mother from the complications of birth just to have you and upon your birth comes the arrangement that their child and you shall be brought to union later in life. It was a fine match indeed. That's what your parents and Zayne's agreed.
Thus, it came hurting you later at life.
Zayne is respectful and never treated you different from others. Although he ignored you most of the time and feels like you didn't exist in his life. Well, who could blame him. It wasn't a match he chose for himself, it was his parents and yours. It was unfair that he didn't have much of a choice.
Blinded by your admiration for him โ it didn't deter you how cold he was to you. Zayne's heart was made of ice and maybe you can melt it. You knew Zayne was a softie after all. Cold and stoic he may come, he did care. He likes animals, children too that's why he's close to his patients. He's also fond of sweets! That's why you pack him extra sweets and learned to make macarons, his favorites.
That's why it never bothered you when he treats you like air. At least he knows he have a fiancee. That's what you say to yourself. Convincing that one day, Zayne will look at you in your eyes.
It was far fetched dream though but you could dream. Looking positive.
Not until she came in the picture and oh, how you wished you were her. What efforts that you poured just for him to say a word about you takes her for only a second. Zayne looks at her eyes. Zayne compliments her and he always noticed her first.
You did try but all it takes for her was to come and melt the frozen heart of Zayne. His heart wasn't totally frozen, it was incapable of being thawed when it comes to you. He's sweet on her and that's when you realize โ you lost the battle, a long time ago.
He was with you but he's mind was with thoughts of her. You knew he wasn't going to pursue cardiology if it wasn't for her. She's sick. A heart syndrome but Zayne spent his studies understanding the human heart and the Protocore Syndrome. It was all for her. His achievements was for her.
How could you also compete? Zayne fondly mentioned her that she's a deepspace hunter and possesses a rare type of Evol โ Anhaunsen Class: Resonance. Amazing! Good with kids, cheerful, and she's pretty with her pale skin, long straight dark brown hair and she's thin too. You were not.
You can't even get the same response as Zayne would have spoken to her. He deeply cares for her. Why wouldn't he be? Zayne even took as being her primary care physician.
It doesn't matter though, you still support him for you were going to be his wife and he as your husband. If he doesn't want that, he should have called off the engagement a long time ago.
And as soon-to-be-his wife, you can endure it. That's how a marriage should work when another one endures for the comfort of the other.
It doesn't matter when he prioritize her. She's sick, what could be your reason. He's her physician.
It didn't hurt when he forget to eat the lunch that you prepared for him. He's a doctor, he's busy with operations even you later learned that they had lunch together.
It didn't hurt you when he gave you a plushie knowing that it was a duplicate and she owned one too.
It didn't hurt when he's uninterested to you, he could be obvious about it but he didn't.
It simply didn't hurt cause you were used to it and then one day, you stopped caring. You didn't even have the strength to cry and if you did, you'd be joining Heartbreaker crying near the trash bins.
The clock read one pm. It's lunch time for Zayne and he didn't have the time to grab food in the cafeteria when it's only thirty minutes away for the next scheduled operation and he remembers you always brought him lunch. It's usually placed in his desk. Wrapped in pastel blue square cloth, dotted with snowflakes and a snowman in the middle but there was nothing. Yvonne hasn't informed him earlier of your presence so maybe you forgot it.
Checking his phone, there wasn't a message too. He ignored it. He presses his phone off and decided he will just grab a bite later.
At first, it didn't bother him.
How your messages were a rare occurrence nowadays. A casual โ how's your day? Or a simple good morning. Usually when he wakes up it's the influx of messages coming from you. Texting him what he wanted for dinner or what how's he feeling for the day or the simple cat video that you know he likes. Now, he's staring at the screen. The last message were a week ago.
Then, how you don't speak anymore with mirth.
The cafรฉ was nice. She recommended it. The atmosphere was cool and he doesn't hear your voice anymore. Quietly sitting while sipping your drink โ your gaze fixated on a distance. You casually hum and that's the end.
โIs something bothering you?โ
Wow. A full question. That's a first.
The ice in your drink clinks as put it in the table. Absentmindedly stirring the cold liquid with a straw. โIt's nothing of concern.โ Your gaze focused on the table. It wasn't wiped properly. You barely glanced at him.
โI won't push you to say something but I'm here to listen to you.โ How assuring. Zayne notices how you didn't much respond. Casting a side eye glance, your eyebrows raising a bit and your lips pressed in a thin line.
He was about to say something when his phone rings. โGo on.โ You weakly drawled. He swipes the phone to the left declining the call. โIt's my day off. I shouldn't be bothered with work.โ
A humorless chuckle left your mouth before you can stop it. Work. It's her. โI'm sorry, you don't reject calls like that, Zayne. Don't let me hinder your work.โ
โNo, my day offs are reserved for you.โ He said with a small smile.
It was more like a obligation than willingness. He doesn't enjoy being with you. He rather prefers being with her.
โIf you say so.โ You finished your drink. Grabbing your shoulder bag, you stand up. โI shall not occupy much of your time. I'll be going.โ Ignoring his comment, you pushed your chair.
โ(Y/N), did I do something to upset you?โ
You shaked your head in dismissal. โYou didn't do anything to upset me. I have urgent matters to attend to, have a good day.โ
โDo you want something for tonight.โ He attempts again to offer you. Something to ease your mind.
โDon't bother.โ Is what you said before leaving.
Later that evening, the doorbell rang. You were finishing the last touches of your makeup and you pat your brush down before putting the final touches of your makeup.
Opening the door, you were greeted by Zayne and usually, you've gone ecstatic. Always eager with him being in the room and you can only look at him indifferently.
โZayne, I didn't know you were coming.โ Opening the door wider to let him in. He took his coat and puts it in the rack. You noticed he was holding multiple plastic bags containing the contents of your grocery list. You ignored it.
The cardiologist followed you with his gaze. Noticing your all dolled up appearance. Your tube denim dress layered with a white shirt. โAre you going somewhere?โ
โYeah. Clubbing with a few girlfriends.โ Your voice clipped and you went back to your room to grab your bag.
โYou don't like nightclubs.โ He casually commented. Putting the groceries in their rightful places in the cupboard.
โI don't but it's a nice change. You know, you didn't have to stay here. You can go if you want.โ Tapping the heel of your platform boots in the floor.
โIt's fine. Do you want me to drive you there?โ Zayne offerers. Loosening his tie.
โNo.โ You shortly replied and slammed the door.
It was a weekend. The club was packed with sweaty bodies crowding in the middle of the dance floor. The neon lights bouncing at the rhythm of the loud music. This wasn't your scene and yet, he sees you happily dancing with a friend. Laughing under the lights when your friend whispered.
Zayne have followed you. Concerned of your well-being.
It feels different and Zayne wasn't used to seeing you like this. Unexpected for someone who acts so proper and prim. He knows that everyone have pleasures but this was different.
He watches you drink. Downing a glass, shots after shots. Drinking the burning liquid like it was water. Zayne's brow furrowed, lips pressed in a thin line. He approaches you.
The brightly colored glass looks tiny in your fingers. You admired the liquid sloshing as you tip it back and forth before bringing it to your lips but before you can drink it. A voice popped besides you.
โThat's enough.โ His tone firm, grabbing the shot glass from you and putting it on the table. You blink lazily, your movements light and your mouth looser. โWho do you think you are to say that it's enough?โ It wasn't a question. You tried to grab the drink again but Zayne holds your wrist.
โYou're drunk.โ
โI'm not.โ
โThat's what people say when they're drunk.โ
Zayne pulls you away from your table. Picking your handbag on the way as he excused you from your friends. You didn't even struggled when he dragged you away from them.
His black Audi A6 is parked and he opens the door to put you in the passenger seat before turning around to sit in the driver's seat. He rolled down the windows in your side. Zayne pulls the seatbelt, making sure you're properly strapped in your seat before doing his.
There's a purr coming from the car after he starts the engine. You remained silent. Eyes glossy and your lips curled. Silently staring at the city lights. You glanced at him and you never felt so resigned at a person. Is this how people felt when they got tired of chasing the person who remains so distant from them โ cause if it is โ you were done.
Zayne stole a glance at you. Your head propped in the window of his car. He can see the city lights twinkling in the reflection of your eyes. You were in no doubt at the edge of drunkenness. Has he not interfered you were probably wasted with a major hangover. He continued driving. His eyes on the road, his hands on the steering wheel.
The vehicle stopped in front of the building where your loft is located and you didn't bother to wait for him to open the door. Yanking your seatbelt and letting it slide to its place, you popped the door open and slipped. Walking towards the entrance in small wobbly steps.
Zayne followed you behind. Keeping up with your pace. โCareful.โ He steadies you up when you almost tripped. His expression remained neutral even you recoiled from his touch.
You messily swiped your card before punching the numbers before stumbling inside. Your shoes felt incredibly tight. Your fingers fumbling over the laces. Zayne kneels in front of you. Easily undoing the laces of your boots before pulling the zippers down in the side. He holds your ankle before tugging your boots. He did the other part.
You stare at the man in front of you. Zayne was like a snowflake in your palm โ melting. Slipping from your fingers and only to be returned to something new. Different but the same. Sucks he's not that in form to be with you.
โYou should rest now. You don't want a hangover in the morning.โ
โI told you, I'm not drunk.โ
โThen can you tell me what I did something to upset you?โ
โFor being a party pooper.โ
โIt's not like you to act that way. Your well-being is my concern.โ
โCome on, don't give me the doctor crap.โ
โI'm your fiance. I should look after you. You're my priority.โ
Priority. Hah.
A hollow laughed escaped your lips. Giggling as you stand up and finding your footing. You stumbled in the living room. Your shoulders shaking in laughter. It must be the alcohol.
Zayne looks at you โ confused.
โI'm not your priority, Zayne. I'm an obligation. Something you keep cause it is needed and we both know it.โ You look at him in his eyes and your heart breaks a little.
You exhaled before letting out a shaky gasp. Tears brimming at the corner of your eyes. You hated being weak. You hated being hurt.
โYou started being concerned when I stopped bothering you.โ Then the spiel of you being ignored. Of being hurt began to unveil.
โDon't you ever talked about me being your priority? I'm your priority? Is that so? Cause the last time I checked โ โ You brought your finger to your lips, the habit you do when you're thinking before looking at him. โI wasn't for the last time - No, wait. I wasn't for the last years. No, no, no. I wasn't in your whole life.โ
A tear slipped out and you furiously wiped it away in frustration. Mad at yourself for trying, for being such a fool.
โYou are drunk and you must rest now.โ Zayne went to approach you but you slapped his hand away.
โI'm sober as I can be and don't you dare ask me again why I'm upset. I'm upset all of the things. I'm so sick of trying! Of trying to chase after your affections.!โ
โYou should have said in the first place that you didn't want to do anything with me rather than ignore and act like it's your obligation to be with me! I can understand it! I'm not so dumb, Zayne!โ
The words rings in the space of the room. Zayne remains impassive. His green eyes staring right back at you and you felt pathetic. A outburst is all you needed for him to look at you.
Blinking back the tears, your fists clenched on the side. You have lost your words. One must act a fool to be noticed. You lost the strength to speak one more word. The rush of blood pumping in your veins felt like drops.
A beat of silence passed. His jaw clenched and his eyes narrowed at you.
โ(Y/N), Iโโ
โI'm glad you still remember my name.โ You said dismissively before running back to your room and slamming the door shut.
(thinking of dragon john price wanting your chubby self as an addition to his hoard ๐ฉ)
The first time John Price walks into your cafรฉ, itโs because he needs something strong to shake the weariness from his old bones. The bell above the door chimes, and the warmth of roasted beans and sugar wraps around him like a comfort he didnโt know he needed.
And then he sees you.
Youโre behind the counter, moving with easy confidence, soft hands making quick work of a steaming pitcher of milk. Thereโs a warmth in your smile when you greet him, eyes bright, cheeks plush and inviting. Something in his chest tightens- something ancient, something hungry.
He doesnโt speak at first, just rumbles out his order in that low, gravelly timbre of his, but he watches you. The way your hands move, steady and capable. The way your curves shift as you reach for a cup, the fabric of your uniform stretching over the swell of your stomach, your hips. Youโre soft. Lush. And suddenly, John forgets what it was he came in for beyond you.
The coffee you place in front of him is perfect. He barely tastes it.
After that, he starts coming in more often.
At first, itโs under the excuse of needing a pick-me-up before work, but then it becomes something else entirely. A routine. A habit. A hoarding. He brings trinkets sometimes- small things, barely noticeable at first. A shiny coin from some distant country, left on the counter as a tip. A sleek, carved wooden bracelet he insists on you wearing. A packet of specialty tea, even though this is a coffee shop, because he thought you might like it. And you do, the smile you give him always so pretty, so soft, like most humans are, except none of them is you.
Itโs instinct, this need to gift, to gather, to keep.
And when other men linger too long at the counter, when they smile at you just a little too wide, John bristles. His shoulders square, big wings soreading ever so slightly, the scales along his tail sharpening. He makes himself big, more than he already is, and lets his presence fill the space until they think better of their flirting and take their coffee to go.
He doesnโt like them looking at whatโs his.
Not yet, not officially- but heโs working on that.
Because you donโt know it yet, his sweet barista, but John has already made up his mind. You belong with him, with them. In his hoard, where he can keep you warm and safe, where he and his men can adore you properly.
You just havenโt figured it out yet.
(Reblogs for more)
I think "discomfort =/= harm" is something everyone needs to internalize. Being uncomfortable because of something does not mean it's harmed you or is inherently bad. Sometimes discomfort is caused by shitty internalized feelings and beliefs that you need to acknowledge and work through. Sometimes you just have to remove yourself from a situation. Sometimes discomfort just a feeling that you need to live with as part of living in a society and a world.
(Poly 141 x neighbour!reader: the way to a manโs heart is through his stomach! (Or in your case, the way to four menโs heart is through their stomach))
It started with cookies.
Youโd been in the middle of baking a double batch- oatmeal chocolate chip, your personal favorite- and realized halfway through scooping them onto the tray that youโd made far too many for one person. It wasnโt unusual. Baking was how you coped with stress, and ever since youโd moved into this apartment building, stress had been in no short supply.
The guy in 4A had blared music all night. Your hot water barely lasted five minutes. And your smoke detector had developed a habit of chirping at odd hours.
But there was one bright spot- your neighbors in 4C.
Youโd seen them coming and going. Tall, broad, and always carrying duffel bags that looked far too heavy to be legal. They kept odd hours, too, but never caused trouble. One of them- Johnny, youโd learned later- had even held the door open for you when your arms were full of groceries.
Which was why youโd stood outside their door that evening, balancing a plate of cookies and feeling like an idiot as you knocked.
Not-Johnny had answered first, blinking down at you in surprise, though his smile was warm and he was beautiful. You couldnโt blame him; you had barely spoken to them more than a few short words.
โUhโฆ hi?โ
โHi.โ You forced a smile. โIโm your neighbor from 4B. I, uhโฆ made too many cookies?โ
His eyes dropped to the plate immediately, and you swore you saw something primal flicker behind them. Still, you worried.
โI mean, if you donโt want-โ
โNo! No, we want. Come in- Johnny! Get over here!โ
And that was how it started.
The second time had been lasagna.
Youโd just finished assembling it when you realized- again- that youโd made too much. So, after psyching yourself up for ten minutes, youโd knocked on their door for the second time in as many weeks.
Price, who had introduced himself along wuth Simon the day you dropped off the cookies, had answered that time, his expression guarded until he saw the foil-covered pan in your hands.
โYouโre joking,โ heโd said, but when you started to retreat, heโd stopped you with a firm, but gentle hand on your back. He had such a nice, big hand. โDonโt be ridiculous, lovie. Get in here.โ
That night, youโd sat at their table, sharing stories and laughter while they cleaned the dish down to the last crumb.
After that, it became routine.
You started โtesting recipes,โ and they became your eager guinea pigs.
And they never seemed to mind.
And nowโฆ
The smell hit first- roasted garlic, browned butter, and something rich simmering low and slow. It snuck out from the slightly cracked kitchen window and spilled into the shared hallway of the apartment building. For men used to MREs and takeout, it was practically siren song.
Gaz was the first to notice, lingering just outside the door labeled 4B- your door- with an almost predatory focus. He wasnโt proud of it, but his stomach growled so loud that Soap- rounding the corner with a gym bag slung over his shoulder- laughed outright.
โYou stalking the neighbor again?โ
โShut up. You smell that?โ
Soap inhaled deeply. His eyes fluttered shut for a beat before snapping open.
โJesus wept- what is that?!โ
โI donโt know, but Iโm this close to knocking.โ Kyle held up his fingers, barely an inch apart.
โShe already fed us last week, mate. Dinna push it.โ
โBut what if sheโs testing another recipe?โ
Gaz wasnโt wrong. You had a habit of showing up at their door with dishes too good to refuse.
They hadnโt stood a chance.
After the cookies and the lasagna, it wasnโt long before other dishes followed: casseroles, soups, pies, and even homemade bread. And the worst part? You bow always prefaced it by saying you needed an opinion- like they were doing you the favor.
It wasnโt until Price called you a โbloody saintโ over a pan of enchiladas that Ghost finally put it together.
โYouโre using us as taste testers,โ heโd said flatly.
Youโd grinned- too cute and too smug for your own good. โIs that a problem?โ
Not a single one of them had said no, just as stated before.
Which led them here, hovering outside your door and pretending they werenโt waiting for another offering.
โโฆ Fine.โ Soap muttered, raising his hand to knock.
But the door swung open before he could, and there you were- apron on, hair pulled back, and flour dusted across your cheek.
โHi!โ You chirped, eyes bright. โPerfect timing!โ
Gazโs grin was pure relief. โTell me you need opinions. Please, love.โ
You laughed, stepping aside to let them in. โI always need opinions. Come in!โ
Inside, the kitchen was chaos. Cutting boards and mixing bowls were scattered across the counters. A Dutch oven bubbled on the stove, releasing clouds of savory steam. Plates of food- half-assembled sandwiches, stuffed peppers, and what looked like chocolate tarts- sat waiting.
โIโฆ mightโve gone overboard.โ You admitted, and if you hadnโt spent all day in the kitchen, your cheeks wouldโve gone warmer.
Soap whistled low, eyes raking over every dish. โNot complaininโ.โ
Price arrived just then, texted by Kyle, trailed closely by Simon, who took one look at the spread and froze. His eyes swept from the roasted chicken resting under a blanket of fresh herbs to the still-warm biscuits stacked beside a bowl of honey butter.
โWhatโs the occasion?โ John asked, smile amused, but you just waved him off.
โPracticing.โ
Gaz was already halfway to the table, trying to decide what to start with, but Simon lingered, watching you carefully. He had his balaclava on, though you havenโt yet dared to ask why he wears it.
โPracticing for what, exactly?โ
You hesitated, fiddling with the edge of your apron. โThereโs thisโฆ thing next week. A community bake-off. And I thought it might be fun to enter.โ
Soap arched a brow. โYouโre entering this in a bake-off?โ
โWell, not all of it. Iโm still deciding which dishes to use.โ
โYouโre winning.โ Kyle said immediately, filling his plate.
โDefinitely.โ Johnny added, already reaching for a sandwich.
Simon, still lingering, crossed his arms and stared down at you. His height will never, ever not make your breath hitch. โYouโre testing all of this on us?โ
You looked up at him through your lashes, pouting just a little. โYou donโt mind, do you, Simon?โ
His gaze darkened- not in anger, but something softer, heavier. It made your stomach flip.
โNo,โ he said simply. โWe donโt mind.โ
You swallowed and turned quickly to the oven to hide the heat rushing to your cheeks.
The next hour passed in a blur of taste testing, arguments over which dish was best, and repeated assurances that you were going to โblow the competition out of the water.โ But beneath the laughter and teasing, you failed to catch the way they looked at you- how Price lingered by the stove just to steal extra bites, or how Johnny kept offering to help, hovering close enough that you brushed elbows more than once.
And Simon? He was the worst of all. He didnโt say much, but his eyes tracked your every move, following the way your hands worked the dough or wiped flour off the counter. He was the last to leave, hanging back as the others helped clear plates.
โYouโre serious about this bake-off?โ he asked quietly.
You nodded. โThought it might be fun.โ
โYou donโt need it.โ
โโฆ What?โ
He gestured at the now-empty plates. โTo prove anything, I mean. Youโre alreadyโฆโ He trailed off for a few seconds, and though you were left blinking at him, you didnโt rush him. โGood enough.โ he murmured at last.
The compliment hit harder than you expected, and for once, you didnโt have a clever response.
โThank you, Simon. Thatโฆ means a lot to me.โ you said softly.
And just like that, the others reappeared, breaking the moment. Johnny patted Simonโs shoulder with a knowing smirk, and Kyle slung an arm around your shoulders, while Price merely watched. Your kitchen was now spotless, cleaned by them.
โWhenโs the next test run?โ Gaz asked.
โI donโt know yet.โ
โWell, let us know. Weโre free anytime.โ
โYeah,โ Soap added. โAnytime.โ
You laughed but this time, you didnโt miss the way Price was looking at you- thoughtful, like heโd already made up his mind about something.
The door clicked shut behind them after that, leaving your apartment quieter but no less warm. The scent of roasted garlic and herbs still lingered, and you found yourself smiling as you surveyed the spotless kitchen. Theyโd made quick work of the mess, trading jokes and lighthearted jabs as they wiped down counters and stacked dishes in quite the uniform style.
You didnโt know what youโd done to deserve neighbors like them, but you werenโt about to question it.
You caught yourself humming as you tucked away the last plate, the sound of their laughter still echoing faintly in your ears. It was easy with them- comfortable in a way that felt rare and almost too good to be true.
And maybe it was.
Because what you didnโt know- what you would probably never know, such a sweet and trusting thing- was that your apartment had been wired within days of your first visit to their door.
To them, it had started with a conversation.
โSheโs alone,โ Price had said after the second time youโd brought them food, leaning back in his chair with a contemplative frown. โNo sign of anyone else coming or going.โ
โSecurityโs shite.โ Gaz had added, gesturing vaguely toward the shared hallway where your lock barely functioned half the time.
Soap had shrugged, easygoing as ever, but his eyes had been sharp. โBetter us keep an eye on her than let some arsehole get the chance.โ
And that was that.
Price had ordered the equipment, Ghost had handled the installation, and none of them had lost sleep over it. Not when it meant keeping you safe.
It wasnโt just the cameras, either.
Simon had reinforced your locks under the guise of โfixingโ them after you mentioned a struggle with your key. Johnny had talked you into letting him check your windows โjust to be sure they latched properly.โ Gaz had set up an app on your phone to โmonitor deliveries,โ though it also let them track your location if needed.
And Price? He always lingered at the door just long enough to ask if you needed anything else- subtle, but enough to make sure you knew they were there.
You never questioned it. Never noticed the way they moved like a unit around you, anticipating problems before they could arise. Never caught the glances they exchanged when you mentioned a repairman or the way Simon hovered near the window any time a car idled too long outside.
You just kept feeding them, trusting them in ways that only made their resolve deepen.
Price was the worst.
Heโd leaned against the counter tonight, watching you laugh at Johnnyโs jokes and swat at Kyle when he tried to sneak extra bites, and the thought had hit him harder than he expected, while Simon watched on in amusement and was the only to successfully swipe a few more bites.
They couldโve had this already.
If life had gone differently- if timing had been better- you couldโve been his. Theirs. Someone to come home to instead of just someone they visited between deployments.
He hadnโt said anything, of course. None of them had.
But as they left, heโd lingered in the doorway, letting his hand rest lightly against the frame.
โDonโt let โem eat it all before the bake-off,โ heโd teased, lips curling into a smile. โTheyโll start begging if you do.โ
Youโd laughed, and God, it was dangerous how much he liked the sound.
โIโll make sure to keep them in line.โ
His smile softened. โGood girl.โ
You didnโt notice the way Simon shot him a sharp look at that- or the way Johnny and Kyle exchanged knowing grins.
And later, when Price sat down in front of the monitors to check the feeds, he didnโt let himself feel guilty.
Because you were safe.
And as far as they were concerned, that was all that mattered.

โก TOJI FUSHIGURO - When life gives youโฆ
Dammit, Toji knew he shouldโve looked over your shopping list closer. He knew he shouldโve spent just a little longer at the convenience store searching for that special brand the two of you always used - the only one that could fit his massive size - instead of rushing home like a madman to fuck you sloppily into your silken sheets.
He knew.ย
But, well, feeling that thin excuse of rubber that was once coating his achy cock snap open - crashing his raw, leaky tip right against the bottom of your syrupy pussy, bruising - he certainly didnโt have any regrets either.ย
โWhoops.โ you hear Tojiโs ragged, unapologetic huff against your ear. Lips quirking up into a smirk when youโre looking up at him in question with those cockdrunk eyes of yours. โBroke the condom again.โ he explains.ย
And as if to confirm, heโs sliding a calloused palm right down to the bulging area of your slit, sliding his eager fingers along the edge of that glossy piece of tattered rubber, โNow what do you suppose we do about that, ma?โ

rereading this because someone else is and i'm LIVING for their comments and i just. i forgot how much i love this
Regency era Touya who marries you, the daughter of a baron, in secret when youโre both in the folly of youth and then goes off to sea. You get a letter saying the ship he was on went down and there were no survivors. All you have to remember him by are the three weeks of marital honeymoon bliss before he was shipped off, and a wedding ring you keep hidden on a necklace (Elizabeth swan style ya know). You donโt even get a body to bury.
Seven years go by and your gentle heart has hardened. You had love once, but youโll never get it again. Youโre on your second season, determined to have fun and not seriously look for a husband - let alone from any of the young men who pursue you (what do they know of the world. Save them for some naive blushing debutante).
You still get offers though, and when an earl and your guardian sit down to properly consider marriage, he tells you that all he wants is an heir, and that your inheritance will remain yours, and to top it off youโll have both a country and city home where you can reside and conduct yourself however you like (after the heir is secured, and with discretion of course)
Not a marriage of love, but of convenience and duty.
And you agree.
Your dress is bought, the invitations sent; everything is going off without a hitch.
Until you walk down the aisle and stand next to your fiancรฉ and the doors burst open.
A man with inky hair and wild eyes stares at you and calls for a stop to the ceremony. Scars and tattoos mar his skin. The crowd is in an uproar calling for the removal of the filth that dared enter the church and ruin the wedding of the season.
He only has eyes for you though. With a swagger in his step, he marches down the aisle and grins at you.
โAw,โ he teases, โdonโt tell me you donโt recognize your own husband?โ
-> To have found you was the world's regret, not mine

summary: born with two too many limbs and faces, he was abandoned, left for the nature to bury him in a grave at the mere age of six. apparently, there was one enemy to the nature of the world, who seemed to go against every rule of survival; you.
warning/s: heian era, smut at the end (skipable), sukuna has two dicks, use of sukuna's stomach mouth, p in v, creampies, slight breeding kink, praise and degrading kink, overstimulation, aphrodisiacs, angst, mentions of blood, nearing death (no actual death though), sukuna's villain arc, he was a monster you'd never despise, growing up together, they were both doomed from the start, fluff so i don't end it all, sukuna using you as a weight for training
a/n: i have no words. this man awakens something inside of me.
The rumors had spread like wildfire.
The child born with too many eyes, too many limbs, had devoured his twin in the womb. A demon cloaked in human skin, they whispered. He was evil incarnate, an abomination that would only grow stronger if left unchecked. But killing him outright would be a sin too great for their souls to bear. So they left him to rot. On the desolate side of the country, where even the air could be considered poison, they abandoned him.
They thought they'd washed their hands clean.
They thought starvation would take care of what they couldn't.
But death didn't come as quickly as they had hoped.
Sukuna was nothing more than a husk of a boy now, his four arms limp at his sides, his ribs threatening to pierce through his skin with each shallow breath.
Nature, just as cruel as mankind, had left him no mercy.
And then you appeared.
THAT ENDING... IM SOBBING THROWING UP SCREAMING IN MY PILLOW. this was so good, i dont even know what to say. i never do
Idk how this is even gonna work but I just love the idea of a non-sorcerer whoโs really down on their luck and is open to do any job. ANYTHING. Even the job listing about kidnapping the strongest sorcerer around.
You have no idea what sorcerers are, but youโre desperate and you take it without a second thought. By some miracle you manage to break into Gojoโs penthouse (weird how thereโs no security system, right?) and clumsily declare how resistance is futile and he needs to come with you.
And satoru justโฆ.goes with it.
For a kidnapper youโre really nice. You constantly ask if the rope needs to be looser. His hands are kinda preoccupied so you have to hand feed him the delicious food you made for him. The fact that you can cook do is also a plus. you practically wait on him hand and foot.
And letโs be honest, Gojo has no vacation days so heโs taking every chance he can get.
He gets so used to being pampered that he straight up just refuses to go back.
Naturally the Gojo clan is furious that their weaponโuh assetโuh toolโ really really important member of the family has been taken. they have a couple powerful sorcerers of their own so it should be a piece of cake to break in to wherever youโre keeping him and killing you. Except they canโt even get miles within your place, itโs as though Gojo is intentionally putting up a veil to protect his kidnapper.
Oh wait, thatโs exactly what heโs doing.
It gets so bad that Gojo stops pretending heโs your helpless captive and teleports back to his family home to demand that they pay the ransom. 2 million? Thatโs way too fucking low. 20 million-no 200 million.
eventually he needs to get back to his life someday so he stops making a ruckus for everyone. When the ransom is paid, he naturally kills the people who talked you into doing this so you get all the money. Its a happy ending for exactly two people
All of this is naturally a huge blow for the gojo clan. To make matters even worse, satoru somehow convinces you to marry him after that fiasco. And nobody within the gojo clan ever breathes a word that the wife of the gojo head is actually a criminal who kidnapped him that one time. It just turns into yet another skeleton in the closet.

(Warnings: flashbacks to gore, not healthy trauma coping, thats all tho! pretty wholesome compared to last time)
Some things about him had changed within a decade, while others stayed the same.ย
Even taller than you last saw him. His hair has been styled, no longer ivory chaos. You can't see a single blemish or mark despite the decade of fighting curses. He's as flawless as the first day you met him. No glasses; the entirety of his blue keeps you still.
You've seen this Satoru before: Suguru's memories, with glassy eyes, ruffled ivory hair, and an empty expression. Seeing such beauty yourself when you're standing right in front of him, it's breathtaking.ย
Even the lights of Tokyo couldn't compare to him.ย
You say nothing. You can't. Your mouth is dry and pointless. You're not even sure where to even begin. In front of a God, your insecurities pile up all over again. Is he disappointed by you? How could you explain everything that you put him through? Your mouth opens, you think you're about to speak: an apology, a plea, anything-
"โYou're late!"ย

First, you saw a monster.ย
It was big and horribleโnasty teeth. You heard screaming. People. Running as fast as they could away from the creatures. Pain.ย
And then, you saw a bright, clear sky.ย
The sun was blaring down at you. It was so hot. Wasn't it December? How was the sun out at night?ย
"Hey, you good?"ย
A girl is looking at you. Short brown hair. A high schooler, judging by the uniform. How is she wearing all black when the weather is so hot?ย
When you don't respond, her eyes squint.ย
"Suguru, are you okay?"ย
That's not your name; your mouth moves faster than your brain.

[Chapter 9]
- pervy husband!nanami, but he doesnโt realise just how perverted he is for his wife, you.
excluding the panties that disappear from your drawer when he leaves for business trips, the way he likes to duck his head beneath your skirt and bury his face into your clothed cunt just to take a deep inhale through his nose, or how he likes to โsubtlyโ cop a feel or two whenever youโre outside. . . it is nothing compared to kentoโs favorite thing to do whenever youโre intimate.
the thing he loves to do the most is dumping loads of his cum inside your pussy before eating you out for hours on end. kentoโs a sucker for itโlapping up your mixture of juices, tasting the product of your lovemaking and pushing the left-over sticky semen back inside you with his tongue.
kento literally cannot stop once he starts. he gets so lost in the taste of your sweet cunt after he gave it a passionate and rough fucking. you have to physically yank his head away from your puffy folds once you get too overstimulated after your nth orgasm, or he just wonโt snap out of his pussy-drunk daze.
and when you do pull your husband away, his tongue is lolled out of his mouth, half-lidded eyes still hyperfixated on your soaked pussy lips like a man addicted, his head stubbornly pushing back against your hands to try and dive between your thighs once more to get a final taste.
and trust me, if you do let him get that โfinal tasteโ, he will not leave your creampied pussy alone for another hour.
