Summary: Sam has noticed how much you look at Eric, and encourages you to go for what you want because no one knows how much time there is left.
Note: I hope you enjoy this story about my dear sweet wet boy đ„°

What meds do you need?
With a shaky hand, Sam reaches out and takes her notebook and marker from Eric. She hastily scribbles down a few words, her eyes blinking every few seconds as if sheâs fighting off sleep.
Her thin arm drops off the side of the bench, weakly offering the notebook back to Eric. You watch his doe eyes scan over the words before he tears the paper out of the book.
Eric nods as he folds up the sheet and slips it into his pocket. He gives you a terse smile that you donât have the energy to return. Your eyes follow him as he steps through the rubble and debris towards the front door of the church.Â
The moment heâs out of sight, you push yourself off the dirty floor, grab Samâs Bai, and take a seat next to her head on the bench. The struggle to lift her head is apparent so you quickly slide closer so her head can rest on your lap. She gives you a look of thanks before she sips from the bottle.
Once she finishes, Sam gestures to the notebook on the top of her âI heart NYâ tote. Luckily, you can reach it without jostling her head too much.Â
The marker scratches against the paper as she writes. It takes her a minute longer than it did for her to write out the medication she needs, so youâre curious about what it says as she hands it to you over her head.Â
I see how you keep looking at him. You going to say anything or what?
Heat floods your face, and you swear everyone else in the church is able to read the note over your shoulder. Doing your best to shake it off, you write back a quick message before handing the notebook back to Sam.
Not allowed to speak at all.
She reads what you wrote and drops the notebook onto her chest, letting her eyes roll up so she can give you the most unamused glare youâve ever seen.Â
As if Frodo is also unimpressed with your answer, he crawls out from beneath the bench, stretches his front legs out with his tail in the air, then heads towards the door.Â
Funny. Pretty sure your eyes have left him all of twice since we left the apartment.Â
It had been pure luck seeing Sam and Eric come into the apartment building last night. The distinctly human footsteps walked past the door of your apartment on the fourth floor and your curiosity got the better of you. Youâd been held up in your home since the start of whatever kind of invasion this is and the need to see another live human being was too strong to deny. Though this was just last night it feels like another lifetime ago.
This is possibly the end of the world, and you want me to what? Tell Eric I think heâs cute?
You canât help but see the twisted humor in the fact that you and Sam are sitting in a dilapidated old church, in the middle of what seems to be an alien invasion, and the two of you are writing notes back and forth to one another like high school girls gossiping.Â
Iâm saying to go for what you want. We could be dead in a minute for all we know. Donât waste your time.
Itâs hard to argue that point with someone you know has limited time left. Itâs even harder to argue because you know sheâs right. But even though youâre in survival mode now, youâre still you and donât find things like this easy. Call it insecurity or trauma from high school when the guy you had a massive crush on found out about it and laughed in your face. Things like that donât just go awayâeven in the apocalypse.
Weâre focusing on staying alive right now, Sam.Â
Youâre deflecting.
Itâs just the truth.
Itâs still deflecting.Â
What do you want me to say, huh? Iâm already scared for my life, I donât need heartache on top of everything else right now.
Why do you think it would be heartache?
Because guys like him arenât interested in girls like me.
Guys like him? Girls like you?
Yeah. Handsome, smart, kind. And me, not those things. I donât need to feel like the rejected high school girl again right now.Â
Are you shitting me? This isnât high school. Either tell Eric how you feel or agonize over what could have been.Â
Again, trying to survive right now.
So afterwards. On the boat out of here.
Maybe.
If I had the strength to wring your neck, I would. Cancer has fucked up my life but one thing it did do is show me how useless shame is. Thereâs no time for being embarrassed, itâs just a waste.Â
Why do you care so much?
What? Youâre not getting my loving and nurturing vibe?
Ha. But really.
Youâre both good people who deserve to be happy. If you can find that in each other then I think you should at least try.Â
Fine. On the boat. Iâll say something to him there.
Swear on Frodo.
Thatâs not fair.
Do it.
Fine, I swear on Frodo.
Sam seems content after that and closes her notebook and rests it on her abdomen.Â
It seems somewhat like emotional blackmail when the woman dying of cancer makes you swear on her sweet, adorable service cat.Â
The arguing (if you could call it that) has drained some of Samâs energy and you see her eyes start to flutter closed. But a spark lights in her eyes, and she opens the notebook once more. At first you think she has something else to say to you about the whole crushing on Eric thing, but this sentence is for her.
My dad played beautiful piano.
A bittersweet smile rests on your lips.Â
Sam tries to put the notebook back down on her bag, but a wince tells you that the effort is hurting her. Gently, you take the notebook from her and set it down. She nods her head in thanks.Â
For the better part of an hour, Sam dozes on and off. It doesnât seem like a particularly restful sleep sheâs getting, but you hope itâs doing something to help her.Â
When Eric comes back, Frodo leading him in, he looks exhausted. Not that any of you were in top form these days, but Eric looks even more haggard than when he left. Still cute, though. Unfairly cute.
As he walks towards you and Sam on the bench, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a box no bigger than a Polaroid picture. With a slight wince, Eric kneels next to Sam and begins getting the patch out and free from its adhesive.Â
Sam tilts herself to the side and you help her turn enough that she can show Eric where to place it.Â
Once itâs firmly on her skin and Sam is comfortably on her back again, it only takes a few minutes before the relief is visible. Her body has relaxed, her breathing down to a steady pace, and she looks the most at peace you've ever seen her. It feels like your heart has been run through with a sword when you think about all this poor woman must have gone through.Â
âMy dad played beautiful piano.â
Eric held Samâs notebook in his hand, smiling at the few words. You just hope thatâs the only page he stays on. He turns his head and meets Samâs eyes.
âI loved it when he would bring me to watch him play,â Sam says, voice ragged and weak. âThen weâd get pizza at Patsyâs.â
That explains the odd insistence for pizza when the world is ending.Â
âWhat happened to him?â you ask softly.
There are a few moments where Sam doesnât speak, and you begin to think sheâs not going to answer you.Â
âHe died,â she says. The pain in her watery eyes is palpable. You would want to wrap her up in a hug if she werenât in so much pain. âLike I am now.â
The sad truth said out loud at last. You havenât heard either of them say it up to this point.Â
âNot before we get pizza,â Eric tells her.Â
A small smile ticks up the corners of Samâs mouth.Â
âNot before we get pizza,â she agrees.Â
The ship is leaving the port. Itâs not too far out so it would be possible for you all to still secure passage on it. But then the dread in your stomach grows as you watch creature after creature step onto the sandy shore. They take great care to stay far enough away from the water, though.Â
You, Sam, Eric, and Frodo trudge through the wreckage of cars and building debris scattered along the road.Â
The four of you drop behind the carcass of an old van, all of you pressing your backs up against the tarnished metal.Â
A shuddering breath comes from next to you and your head whips towards Eric, who is between you and Sam. His eyes tear up and he grits his teeth, trying to ward off the anxiety thatâs creeping up.
Sam immediately presses a hand to Ericâs chest and in the lowest whisper possible says, âBreathe.â
You take one of Ericâs hands in your own and give it an encouraging squeeze. Hoping heâll follow your lead, you take a large breath in, then let it out. It helps a bit, but the anxiety is so strong. How could it not be in the situation youâre all prisoners to?
Your eyes move from Eric to Sam as you watch her nuzzle her face against Frodo and press kisses to his black and white fur. If you didnât know any better, youâd think sheâs saying goodbye to him. Then she hands Frodo to Eric, and it hits you. She was saying goodbye to Frodo. Instinct tells you to fight her on this, but how can you? One, you canât speak. And two, who are you to tell her not to do this? If it were you, youâd rather go out trying to save the lives of your companions rather than let a vicious disease let you waste and wither away, slowly and painfully as the world ends around you. Sam is thinking that her life is almost up, and sheâd rather buy yours and Ericâs lives with the short time she has left.
Sam pushes herself into a crouch as Eric clings to Frodo, holding him close to his chest. You let go of Ericâs hand so he can hold onto the cat betterâLord knows heâs already run away enough times.Â
âRun,â Sam whispers.Â
Before she takes off, you look her in the eye and nod your head once. Between that and the tears building in your eyes, you hope she sees your acknowledgment of what sheâs doing and all the gratitude you can convey to her.Â
Sam nods in return, telling you she knows. Then, sheâs gone. You see her crouch down behind cars as she makes her way through the lot. She picks up a crowbar and smashes it through a still-intact window of a car.
The smashing glass catches the attention of the creatures, and you know the time to move is now. Looking at one another, both you and Eric take a deep breath before getting up from behind the car.Â
Monsters rush past you, leaving you almost no room to dodge them as they race in the direction of the noise Sam is making. It seems like a miracle once the two of you see the dock ahead, no creatures between you and there.
Your sprint turns into a run, Eric keeping pace right beside you as he holds Frodo securely against him. A few steps onto the pier, Ericâs foot kicks a large metal can that skids a few feet away. It clangs as it tumbles, and the monsters hear it.Â
Thereâs no need for you to look back; you know theyâre coming. All energy reserves go into your legs as you run faster. The rail around the dock is broken in one place, giving you and Eric the perfect opportunity to jump into the water.Â
But theyâre getting closer.
You can hear the monsters gaining on you, and a quick glance shows one leaping in the air, aiming to land right on top of you, Eric, and Frodo. But you jump. The flash of yellow beside you brings immense relief as you hit the waterâboth of you jumped in time.Â
As you surface, you look back and see a gang of creatures waiting at the exact spot you and Eric leapt from. Two heads pop up next to you, one human and one cat, both safe. If this were any other circumstance, you would probably chuckle at how Frodo looks all wet.Â
Eric gazes back at the land with you and you both see Sam, standing between two dedicated cars.
Shouts come from the ship behind you, encouraging you to swim over to them. Without saying a word to each other though, both you and Eric take the time to look back at Sam. To watch her, this brave woman in every sense of the word. There could never be a way for either of you to thank her enough, but you hope she feels some semblance of it.Â
Wide brown eyes meet yours as you turn towards Eric. The two of you bob in the water for a few moments, looking at each other as you attempt to catch your breaths. Now itâs time to get to the boat. Itâs time to get to safety.
Once the three of you have made it to the boat, youâre helped on board and assured that youâre safe now. Blankets are brought to wrap around you, Eric, and one for Frodo as well.Â
It seems impossible to attempt relaxation after the last few daysâ events, but thereâs nothing else to do as the ship sails slowly along. Where itâs headed, you donât know. You donât particularly care at the moment, either.Â
You, Eric, and Frodo make yourself comfortable in a small alcove on deck. It feels like you fall in a heap together, collective exhaustion kicking in. You werenât even aware of how tired you were until this moment. The adrenaline finally starts to wear off and you lay your head down on Ericâs shoulder. You donât intend to, but you quickly fall asleep against him.
When you wake, your head is still on Eric. Slowly, you sit up straight and smile when you see Frodo sleeping on Ericâs chest, all curled up in his blanket. Ericâs gaze catches yours and the moment you look into the beautiful brown eyes that make your knees weak, you remember what you promised Sam. On the boat. Iâll say something to him there.
After everything youâve been through, you now understand clearer than ever what Sam meant about there being no time for embarrassment. No one knows if the next moment is their last, and do you really want to regret keeping your feelings inside? No. Plus, there was absolutely no way you could break your word to Sam after what she just did for you.Â
âEric,â you start, unsure of how to phrase what you want to say. He looks at you, waiting for you to continue. Gathering your nerve, you do. âI wantâŠI have to tell you something.â
âSure. Anything.â
Another deep breath. Samâs voice whispers in your head, you can do this.
âI donât, um, know where weâre going. Or whatâs going to happen next. I canât even begin to think about that, really. B-But I do know that I would like to stay with you for as long as youâll let me. I like being with you.â
A shy smile grows on Ericâs face, and he nods his head.Â
âI like being with you, too,â he says. âIâd love to stick with you.â
âYeah?âÂ
âYeah. But can I ask youâŠis it because you think Iâm cute?â Eric is trying his hardest not to smirk, but the look of surprise on your face threatens to overtake him.
âI-IâŠâ
âOr well,â Eric says, reaching into his pocket. He pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and holds it between the two of you, âat least thatâs what you told Sam.â
Your eyes dart down to the paper, and you recognize your and Samâs handwriting. A gasp startles out of you as you realize itâs the note you and she passed back and forth in the church.
Eric is full on grinning when you look at his face again. His shoulders shake as he chuckles, and his laugh is infectious. You start giggling yourself and bring your hands up to cover your eyes.
âOh my God, she ripped it out of the notebook and shoved it in her pocket? She thought I was gonna wimp out!â
Neither of you can stop laughing now. After being so scared and quiet for so long, it just feels so good.Â
Eric pulls out another piece of paper and hands it to you.
âShe also wrote us this sweet note.â
The letter from Sam makes you smile, cry, and oddly, feel some form of peace. Sheâs home.Â
âAw, Frodo,â you say as you fold the note back up. âYou would be the handsomest boy even if you did get fat. But no, weâre not going to feed you too much.â
Eric chuckles and holds his arm open for you. You gladly accept the invite and curl up against his side. The scent of the salt water, wet cat, and the mustiness from the blankets do nothing to cover the scent that is pure Eric. You rest your forehead against his neck as he wraps his arm snugly around you and presses a kiss to the top of your head.
âYou know,â he says softly as he lays his head against yours, âI came very close to getting you and I killed multiple times.â
âWhat?â You frown as you reach your hand out to stroke the top of Frodoâs head. âHow?â
âWell, when I first saw you, when you stepped out of your apartment, I didnât say anything. Not only because I couldnât, but I was speechless. Youâre so pretty and I froze. Sam had to push me three or four times to get me to walk again. And then there were so many times Iâd just look at you and almost blurt out how beautiful you are. Because your beauty is something thatâs impossible to keep quiet about. Then I got to know how kind you are. So compassionate, brave, selfless. Your beauty runs farther than skin deep and it made me even more of a bumbling idiot.â
You canât help but giggle as you bury your head farther into the juncture where his neck and shoulder meet.Â
âBut I do have a bone to pick with you,â Eric says.
Reluctantly, you pick your head up to look him in the eye.
âWhy?â you ask, furrowing your eyebrows in confusion.
He picks the note between you and Sam back up and begins to read a part aloud.
âWhy do you think it would be heartache?
Because guys like him arenât interested in girls like me.
Guys like him? Girls like you?
Yeah. Handsome, smart, kind. And me, not those things. I donât need to feel like the rejected high school girl again right now.â
He lowers the note and shakes his head.
âNow, I donât know what kind of absolute prats you went to high school with, but anyone who rejected you is, quite literally, insane. And I donât like this talk about âgirls like you.â You make it seem like such a bad thing to be you. But youâre possibly one of the best people Iâve ever met. And I know that after only knowing you for about two days. And it didnât take me more than four seconds to see how stunning you are. Frodo and I want you to see yourself the way we do. Right, boy?â
Both of you look down at the snoozing cat and you scratch between his ears with a chuckle.
âIâll work on it,â you say earnestly.Â
Frodo tilts his head and you let your hand drop. You lift your head and Eric is so close. It would barely take any movement for his lips to be on yours. So, you make that move. The hand that was petting Frodo comes up to cup Ericâs jaw as you lean in and press your lips against his.
Ericâs body immediately sinks against yours, holding you tighter as he kisses you back with urgency. Itâs as if he remembers the two of you have more time now and he can savor this moment as he slows the kiss down, enjoying exploring your mouth at a lazy speed. Thereâs no rush anymore. Youâre safe and both here together.Â
When you part, he rests his forehead against yours and youâre pretty sure there are identical grins on both of your faces.Â
âI canât wait to hear your laugh over and over again,â you tell him.
âI canât wait to hear you say my name,â he replies.
âEric.â Itâs the first time youâve been able to say it above the lowest of whispers. âEric, Eric, Eric.â
His grin grows even larger, and he presses a quick kiss to your lips.
âGod, I love the sound of that.â

Could I get 3: Accidental groping or 5: Fake out make out with Cassian Andor?
dont ask abt how bad i want this to be me rn
You werenât thinking straight when Cassian pulled you into a spare room at this brothel on Correllia. All you were thinking of was the intel and escape. Anything to make that happen. It wasnât long after the data was secured that storm troopers were invading the building. Clearly, someone had triggered some kind of alarm, and as people not participating in the activities of the building, you stuck out like a sore thumb. Youâd be arrested for sure, or as Cassian always jokes, youâd take each other out before you could let that happen.
Youâre still not thinking straight when Cassian pushes you further into the room, tugging off your jacket and throwing it to the side as you bounce onto the bed in front of him. The door is shut, but none of the doors in this place lock, so you have to just hope the troopers respect privacy while clearly searching for you.
Youâre definitely not thinking straight when Cassian whispers a little âsorryâ before capturing your lips with his own and lowering himself down on top of you on the bed. Your mind is swimming as you kiss back immediately, all lips and tongue and teeth and Cassian groans into your mouth. The kiss is deep, with Cassian taking the lead and moving his tongue deeper as his hands plant themselves on either side of your head.
Youâre not thinking when your hands come up around his waist, pulling him in closer, flush against you. Maybe its because he smells good, or maybe its because you hear hurried footsteps outside the door.
Theres a knock at the door, and Cassian reaches down to grab your leg, hooking it around his hip. You moan, but youâre not sure if you meant to.
The door opens, and his hand slides down your thigh.
âSorry for the intrusion,â a slightly modified voice interrupts your kiss, and Cassian only rips his mouth from yours long enough to shout.
âGet out!â his voice is hoarse, husky, and you can feel heat flooding you. He turns back to you the second the door slides closed again, and his hand slips farther.
The second his hand connects with the curve of your ass however, he freezes.
And now youâre thinking straight. He looks cute like this, flustered and blushing, wide eyed and looking down at you
âI-Iâm sorr-â but you cut him off before he can apologize.
âDonât be.â
And as you pull him back in for another kiss, he squeezes your ass, hard. On purpose this time.
Faking It | Part I
Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x F!Reader
Summary: Fake dating your friend, Bradley Bradshaw - what could possibly go wrong? Your sister is getting married and you need a date. You enlist Bradley's help and the rest is history.
CW: none that I can think of except that the reader's height is described as shorter than Rooster's.
This idea has been plaguing me so I had to get it out haha Hope y'all enjoy!
Bradley watches you skeptically. You have yet to convince him that pretending to be your date for your sisterâs wedding is an outstanding idea. Your mother has undoubtedly invited a whole slew of bachelors because she thinks you might need some help in the romance department. You decidedly do not. Despite the fact that you are struggling to even get a fake date.
You make a face at him. âI will owe you,â you say. âAnything you want.â
He shrugs. âI donât want anything.â
You roll your eyes. âCâmon, Bradshaw,â you plead. âIâll do your laundry for a week.â
He purses his lips, not looking overly enticed.
âIâll come over once a day and do all your dishes.â
âWeâve got Hangman for that.â
âHangman does your dishes?â you ask incredulously, trying to picture Jake Seresin in an apron with a dishtowel thrown over his shoulder.
Bradley chuckles. âHe lost a bet last week.â
You let out a soft laugh, then get back to business. âIâll clean your room,â you offer.
âIâll have you know that my room is immaculate,â Bradley replies.
You scoff. âThen do this for me out of the goodness of your heart!â
Bradley chuckles slightly. âI donât know, Y/N. This is a big ask.â
âPlease, my mother is rounding up all the eligible males on the western seaboard as we speak.â
Bradley laughs. âWhat does your mother have against landlocked states?â
âI donât know. Political ideology?â
Bradley snorts. âHave you asked Hangman?â
You groan. âPlease donât make me ask Hangman. He will never let me live this down.â
Bradley nods. âThat is true.â
âItâs just a weekend. A few photos here and there. Some superficial chitchat with my grandparents about the importance of educational funding for our nationâs youth. My niece loves airplanes so you can tell her all about your latest missionâ â
âMy classified mission?â
âWell, leave out the classified parts,â you retort impatiently.
Bradley contemplates your proposal while your mind scrambles trying to determine something that might make it worth his while.
âFree drinks for a week,â you say, wiping the already dry bar to give your free hand something to do.
Bradley raises his eyebrows. âYou canât do that.â
You roll your eyes. Bradley Bradshaw will never go along with a scheme unless it is one hundred percent above board. âMeaning I will pay for them. I get a discount on the alcohol.â
Bradley gives you an amused look. âSo, you wish to buy my services.â
You let out a frustrated groan. âI told you, I will do anything you want.â
âWell, I donât want you paying my tab,â he replies casually.
You lean into the bar with a heavy sigh, bringing your face closer to his. âYou are really grinding my gears, Bradshaw,â you say.
His eyes lift to your face as he lets out a wry chuckle.
âDo you really think a weekend with me will be so torturous?â you ask.
âNah,â he says, leaning back in his stool nonchalantly, but you wonder if he does it to expand the space between your faces. âI wasn't actually going to refuse. Just like to see you sweat.â
He chuckles, ducking as you go to smack him with the towel you just used to wipe the bar.
âŠ
âAunt Barb is a hard-ass,â you say in a low voice, turning your head toward Bradley as your aunt makes a beeline for you at the rehearsal dinner. You end up talking into Bradleyâs shoulder because heâs so much taller than you and he instinctively lowers his head so he can hear you better.
âWhatâs that, shorty?â he mutters, and you roll your eyes at the nickname. But the next moment, you can feel his breath on your forehead and you gulp when his palm flattens against your back. You had been the one who'd asked him to pretend to be your boyfriend, but you hadnât actually considered what that might entail. Apparently, it entails Bradley Bradshawâs hand on your lower back and a woozy sensation in your gut akin to a 200-foot roller coaster drop. You arenât too fond of roller coasters.
You glance up at him and your eyes meet for a split second. Bradley promptly straightens his back. You let out an unsteady sigh and say, âAunt Barb will be questioning you; be prepared. Have you read my notes?â
Bradley gives you a pointed look. âOf course, I read your notes.â
But as Aunt Barb approaches, you feel Bradleyâs touch along your back waver until his hand finally drops at his side.
âY/N!â your aunt exclaims, giving you a kiss on each cheek. She blinks up at Bradley expectantly.
âThis is Bradley,â you say. âThis is my aunt, Barb.â
Bradley holds out his hand. âItâs great to meet you,â he says.
Aunt Barb gives him a crafty smile. âIs this your boyfriend, Y/N?â she asks, but her question is directed more at Bradley than at you.
Bradley returns her smile. âThatâs me,â he replies, giving you a quick glance.
âOh, good,â your aunt says. âWe were starting to get worried after that whole fiasco with Steven.â
You stare at her as Bradley turns to you. âWhoâs Steven?â he asks.
Aunt Barb gives him a probing look. âYou donât know?â
Bradley eyes you inquisitively. âShould I?â he asks, still looking at you.
âHer ex, of course,â Barb continues. âHeâs here, you know?â
You peel your gaze away from Bradley to look at your aunt. âWhat? Why?â
She shrugs. âHeâs friends with the groom, of course. Or have you forgotten?â
You grimace. You donât remember Steven being exceedingly close with your sisterâs fiancĂ©, so the fact that he somehow weaseled his way into this function aggravates you greatly.
When your aunt walks away, Bradley turns to you with his eyebrows raised. âSteven wasnât in your notes.â
You give him a sour look. âHe wasnât supposed to be here.â
Bradley shrugs. âStill think you shouldâve mentioned him. Was it serious?â
âNope,â you respond curtly, ready to put the topic to rest.
Bradley seems to sense your reluctance to engage in this particular conversation and drops the subject. âShall we go grab some drinks?â
Youâre about to respond when your mother appears before you and you nearly bump into her. âMom!â you exclaim in surprise.
âY/N, why are you so jumpy?â she asks.
You shoot a nervous glance in Bradleyâs direction, but he appears unfazed. âAfternoon, maâam,â he says, bowing his head slightly.
Your mother looks over at Bradley with a judgemental air. âAre you the aviator?â she asks with a hint of distaste in her tone.
âIndeed,â Bradley responds, giving you a confident look before glancing back at your mother.
But your mother is no longer paying Bradley any attention. She turns back to you. âSteven is here,â she says.
You let out a sigh. âYes, I know, mother.â
She gives you a knowing look before glancing back at Bradley. âWe all thought they were going to get married,â she says with an artificial smile.
Bradley raises his eyebrows and nods his head slowly. âYou must be disappointed,â he says.
Your mother seems pleased with his response and nods at Bradley vehemently. âThey have a lot of history,â she says.
You close your eyes. âMom, stop.â
âIâm just saying, heâs here,â your mom says. âDo with that what you will.â
You blink at her. âI will do nothing.â
Bradley watches you squirm sympathetically and, when you glance up at him defeatedly, he takes you by the hand. âMaâam, itâs been a pleasure,â he says and starts to pull you away. âWe just want to hit the bar before the first course.â
âSure.â Your mom gives him a quick nod and throws a pointed look in your direction.
You cling to Bradleyâs hand gratefully, even going as far as clutching at his arm with your other hand just to get away faster. âThank you, thank you, thank you,â you whimper.
He looks down at you, squeezing your hand. âItâs why Iâm here, right?â he says.
âRight,â you agree, feeling his bicep flex under your fingers as his hand tightens around yours.
âŠ
After dinner, you make your way through the crowd to the bathroom. The evening is nearly over and it seems that you and Bradley have put on a reasonably convincing charade. Bradleyâs relaxed disposition has made the evening infinitely more enjoyable than you could have imagined and you find yourself feeling almost sorry that the night is coming to an end. Almost. Because, after all, you wonât be able to take a real breath of relief until youâre in the comfort of your room.
Youâre lost in your thoughts as you walk back to your table and you completely miss the fact that your ex-boyfriend has spotted you and is heading your way.
âY/N!â he exclaims as if heâs surprised to see you attending your own sisterâs wedding rehearsal.
You blink at him in alarm. âSteven,â you say with a slight grimace, kicking yourself for not checking your surroundings before making your way across the open floor.
Your eyes scan the tables, desperately searching for Bradley. When you locate him, you can see that heâs already watching you.
Steven steps closer to you, holding out his hands. âItâs good to see you, Y/N,â he says, leaning in for a hug.
You recoil as he tries to put his arms around you. âIs it?â you ask, holding up your hand to keep him back. The last time you saw him, he was throwing every insult imaginable in your direction.
Over Stevenâs shoulder, you can see Bradley getting out his seat and starting to make his way toward the two of you, a stony expression on his face.
âYou look great,â Steven continues, finally lowering his arms.
âUh, thanks,â you say uneasily just as Bradley steps around Steven to face him.
âEverything alright here?â Bradley asks, his eyes sliding between you and Steven.
âMm-hm,â you say, instinctively shifting closer to Bradley as Steven continues to scrutinize your every move.
âIâm Bradley,â he introduces himself, confidently extending his hand to Steven.
âSteven.â Steven takes his hand tentatively and you can see the slight wince on his face as Bradley crushes his hand in a handshake.
âIâve heard a lot about you, Steven,â Bradley says, and you look up at him sharply.
âOh, really?â Steven lifts his eyebrows, giving you a smirk.
âNo,â Bradley replies flatly.
Steven blinks at him in confusion, clearly taken aback.
Bradley slides his arm around your waist possessively and you lean into him slightly, relieved that heâs playing his part so perfectly.
Steven gives Bradley a hostile look which Bradley expertly returns. Then, he lowers his face, saying, âDrink?â
âYes, please,â you say, letting out a sigh.
âYou take care, Steven,â Bradley says, wheeling you around in the direction of the bar.
Part 2
Pairing: Joel Miller x f!reader
Summary: Joel needs glasses but won't admit it, and there's only an amount of teasing a man can take before he decides to show you just how much of an old man he is.
warnings: unprotected p in v sex, creampie, hair pulling, (joel gets a lil rough)
Ellie was the one to start it all,
I mean it's not like you hadn't noticed, but she was the one that started with the jokes.
Not very honorable of you to blame it all on the 14 year old, you knew... but still, just to get the record straight, you werenât the one to tease him first.
âGimmie Granpaâ she had chuckled one time, grabbing the piece of paper where Maria had written down the recipe for her 'world-famous' casserole from his hands.
"Hey-" He'd protested,
"You can't see shit, man" she giggled, "Stop trying to fight it- you're getting old buddy"
And well from then on things had... escalated.
You'd yet to see a day where the poor man wasn't made fun of because of it, but truth be told, he really did need glasses.
You'd even suggested it to him more gently, in the comfort of your own room, away from Ellie's prying eyes.
"y'know baby, there's nothing wrong with getting glasses"
He'd looked at you as if you'd just told him to go fuck himself.
"Don't look at me like that" you'd smiled, rounding the bed to intertwine your hands behind his neck "It's for your own good"
"I don't need glasses"
"no?" you'd bit down a grin "you sure?"
"'m sure alright" he grumbled
"I bet Tommy would know where to get you a pair if you asked"
"darlin'"
"yes, baby?" you'd asked, hopeful
"I don't need 'em"
And you really did want to keep on trying to convince him, but then he'd kissed you and well- it must have slipped your mind.
Unluckily for him, not for a very long time.
He was in the bathroom, trying, or more specifically struggling, to open a bandaid for your injured finger.
It wasn't anything serious, just a little cut, but as you'd disinfected it, he'd insisted on covering it up, only of course you hadn't expected it to take so long.
"Baby, what's wrong, you can't find them?"
But the answer to your question was right before you as you entered the bathroom.
As I said, he was struggling.
A laugh bubbled up your throat as you took in his focused expression, the frown on his forehead, the squint in his eyes...
"Let me do it"
"No I can do it I just-" he tried to get it open again, failing miserably.
"Joel-" you smiled, walking up to him "let me" you said softly
And with a sigh, he surrendered, handing you the poor, tortured bandaid
"I could have done that" he grumbled as he watched you do it in a split second.
"Sure you could, old man" You grinned to yourself, carefully applying the bandage to your finger.
"What did you just say?"
A soft, breathless gasp fled your mouth-
He'd moved right behind you, and his hands were now on your waist.
"Jesus babe" you laughed,
"What did you say?"
His voice was rough, and his eyes... something had shifted behind his eyes.
You watched his reflection in the mirror before you as you answered
"I said I'm sure you could"
"Mhh" he hummed, his head lowering until he could dive into your neck and inhale your scent "The other thing"
"what other thing?" you feigned innocence, enthralled by his demeanor, by the almost predatorial look in his eyes
"You know what"
"no I don'-"
But you didn't have time to finish, he'd already grabbed you by your hair, pulling your head back until his mouth was ghosting yours
"you called me an old man, darlin'?"
He was a different man from a minute ago.
This was the Joel Miller people feared, the one that killed without remorse, the one that fucked you rough- the once that a sick and twisted part of you revered.
"Baby I was jokin-"
"didn't look like it" he growled, his clothed hard-on pressing into your ass making you whimper, "you think I'm an old man, babydoll?" he murmured, his grip tightening around your hair "I'll show you how much of an old man I am"
Next thing you knew, your upper body was flushed against the sink's countertop, and your shorts were at your feet, together with your panties.
You watched from the mirror as he freed his cock with the hand that wasn't holding you down, and then you felt it-
"will you look at that" he chuckled darkly, the tip of his dick sliding between your folds with ease "you're makin' a mess for an old man, babydoll"
"J-Joel" you whimpered
"no no darlin'" he cooed "You've brought this on yourself- now you're gonna be good and take it, alright?"
When you didn't respond, he yanked your head back, forcing you to look at him through the mirror
"alright?" he bent down, growling in your ear
"y-yes"
"try not to be too loud," he whispered "You wouldn't want people to know how much you like getting fucked by an old man"
You had no time to respond, to tell him how much you didn't care, because he'd already pushed himself fully inside of you, and the only thing you could do was scream.
"you can't help yourself can ya?" he muttered, watching your face contort in all sorts of bliss-induced expressions "The old man gives it to ya too good, 's that it?" he groaned, feeling your walls squeeze around him
"look at me" he ordered, pulling your hair again, making you open your eyes and watch him as he ruthlessly slammed inside of you "Look at the old man who's fuking you, darlin', don't be rude" he grinned
The sound of his skin against yours reverberated through the bathroom, and god it was nasty.
"f-fuck" you tried to speak, tears tarnishing your vision
"I know, I know" he pretended to care, getting up from where he was pressing his torso onto your back, using a hand to get you to remain flush against the sink "I'm going too slow, ain't I?"
Oh shit
Oh fucking shi-
If you thought he was going hard before... you hadn't seen anything.
You couldn't fully create one single thought in your mind as he picked up his pace, as he started literally slamming into you fast and hard enough to break you in half.
"I'm jus' an old man after all babydoll, ain't I?" he breathed, one hand still on your back while the other was still forcing your head up to look at him "You'll understand if I can't fuck you as hard as you'd like" it was like he wasn't hearing how loud you were moaning, how breathless your whines and gasps where each time his dick hit your cervix "what's that?" he mocked "you need it harder darlin'?"
"J-Joel-" you whined, begging, pleading for what you weren't even sure
"shh I got you baby" he cooed, bending down to whisper in your ear again, slowing down his pace just to thrust so fucking deep and hard into you you swore you saw stars "I know my old man's pace ain't enough for you doll"
But it was- Oh it was more than enough.
And yet he didn't care- he was going even harder, even faster, even deeper, and you... you didn't even remember your name anymore.
You could feel the thickness of his cock as it slammed into you over and over and over again, the way it would hit the most hidden spots inside of you, the ones only Joel had only ever been able to find, and then-
And then you could hear his grunts and strangled groans as he fucked you within an inch of your life, as his hair fell to his forehead and tears streamed down your face and your eyes struggled to remain open, struggled to keep on watching him as he fucked you from behind with enough force to break the fucking sink you were on.
Until it got to be too much, until you felt your stomach tighten and the fuse lighting, until he hit that secret spot once again, and all you could do was close your eyes as bliss took over your body, as waves of ecstasy washed over you.
"look at you" he groaned "coming all over an old man's cock" he breathed, your walls squeezing him too good to do anything else but follow suit "letting an old man come deep inside of ya"
It took a long moment for either of you to wake up from the sex-induced haze, but Joel was in much better shape than you, so it was him who came back earlier.
he begrudgingly pulled out, enjoying for a moment too long his own handy work before he helped you up, picking you up bridal style once he realized how useless your legs had become.
"baby" you murmured, before he could place you on the bed "You know I was joking right?" you said, leaning up to kiss him, your mouth catching his in a sweet, gentle kiss that contradicted completely the way he'd just ruined your ability to walk properly
"You're not an old man" you promised
"mh?" he hummed, kissing you again just because he could
"yeah" you smiled, melting into the kiss for what felt like an eternity
He was holding you gently, watching your eyes as they begged to close.
"good" he hummed against your mouth, watching it twist into a devious little smirk as a spark ignited in your eyes
"Although I still think you should at least consider getting glasses-"
"darlin'" he stopped you immediately "I suggest you stop talkin''"
"or what?" you bit down a grin, laughing softly
"Or Tommy's gonna be real mad when you tell him you can't make it to patrol tomorrow 'cause your legs don't work"

âł warnings : mention of being drunk, tipsy/drunk behavior, fluff at end
âł peeta mellark x reader x best friends to lovers
âł summary : after a random party, peeta accidentally had more than one drink. after a call from finnick saying that he needs help to put peeta to bed, you leave to help your boyfriend
------------------------------------------------------------
it was a long day, you and peeta had so many meetings with sponsers after the first games. you teo returned back home, with finnick and a few other visiting.
you said your goodbyes to peeta as he left for the party that finnick was hosting.
you wouldve gone, but the day wore you out, and all you wanted to do was stay back and watch tv. you basically had nothing to worry about, since you for sure knew peeta wouldn't act up.
even if he follows what everyone says, he knows what good and bad. plus, you promised him that you two will cuddle once he gets back home.
the thought of him made you miss him, making you wanting to go so badly.
as you thought more, there were 3 loud knocks on your door, pretty aggressively.
"y/n!!" you heard someone yell from the other side. the person sounded like finnick.
you got up, already a nervous face on your look by the tone of his voice. your heartbeat became faster. what if something bad happened to peeta? what if someone got into a fight with him?
you hurled to the door and swung it open.
to your surprise, you say johanna, finnick, and peeta. peetas arm was wrapped around finnicks shoulder as finnick held him up to balance.
peeta's legs were droopy, barely even standing. his face was staring at the floor eyes half open.
"what happened?" you asked.
"got too drunk i think."
"he said he didn't want anyone helping him except for you." johanna chimed in.
even with your nervousness, you still felt flustered at the thought of peeta wanting you instead of everyone else.
"okay um," you walked up to peeta and took his arm away from finnick.
he was still a little tipsy, but managed to stand.
"thanks guys, ill see you tommorrow." you said waving goodbye as you closed the door.
"johanna leave~.. mhbb.. i only want my girl." peeta mumbled.
you slightly gasped at his words. his girl? that was a new one to add to the book.
"let's get you upstairs.." you whispered as you took him and lead him upstairs carefully.
"j-johanna i said no.." he whispered, "i need y-y/n!"
you paused mid stairway and faced him. you grabbed his face with both your hands. he was so warm. he was always warm, something that you never thought would bring you comfort.
"peeta look." you whispered.
he looked up. his eyes widened.
"it's me.."
his smiled softly, making his eyes scrunch up.
"oh.." he whispered, as his face slowly grazed your hair.
"lets get you changed and put to bed, 'kay?" you said softly, taking his soft hand again.
-------------
after him protesting on him putting your shirt himself, you two finally managed to get in bed. your head was on his chest, while his arm drapped around you.
"y/n?" he whispered. you thought he already passed out after being so tired.
"yeah..?"
"thanks for helping me out tonight." he wiggled around getting more comfortable.
"anything for you peeta." you moved your head to look at him. "i'll always be here. i've been doing it for years."
he smiled softly while looking at you.
"i um.." he looked away trying to hide his blush that crept around his face.
he finally looked back.
"you know i love you right?" he whispered even more softer, like thin air.
you looked at him. no one's every actually told you that, like in a romantic way. you had so many things to say, but they somehow didn't come out.
"but not like the friend way, the-" his words by cut off by your lips.
his kiss was just as warm as his touch, now knowing that his kiss is the only kiss you want to feel for the rest of your life. after a couple seconds later, you finally pulled away.
"guess i have that affect huh?" he chuckled softly.
"peeta oh god-" you laughed, but cut off by a more tender and loving kiss.
both of your lips were in sync, it was like they were made for each other. you two pulled away, forheads touching. his hand lifted and allowed his thumb to graze your bottom lip.
"i love you.." you whispered against his thumb.
"i love you too baby."
The best part of the percy jackson books is that from percy's perspective hes just an easygoing funny cool guy who seems pretty harmless but the moment you see him from someone elses pov hes terrifying. Just a crazy good fighter, a force of nature killing machine, literally gets mistaken for a god in disguise. But he doesnt see that side of himself at all because hes too busy arguing with authority figures and respecting women. I love him
Request: Hiiiii. Would you please write something with Aegon x f!reader? I would love to see something where the characters are opposite. Would it be okay for the reader to be a bit shy and socially awkward and loves books and music but at the same time wants to experience a bit of life but doesnât know how and is a bit afraid to get out of her comfort zone. Once she gets to know someone she talks and is super fun but it takes her a bit of time. And then there is of course Aegon who we know is quite the opposite. The reader fancies him and the two fall in love? Could that be possible? Thank you.
w.c: 3.4k
c.w: baratheon!reader, ooc aegon probably, hes a bit of an ass sometimes, fluff, insecure/shy reader, sfw! no smut since the request didnt state it, not proofread
masterlist
Unlike the rest of your family you had been more than happy when your family received an invitation to stay at kings landing in the red keep for a helena's name day festivities as she had become close with your sister floris. You had not been able to come with the rest of the family last time as you had been in bed rest.Â
You couldn't even imagine how big the red keep had been and while on the way there you could barely sit still your sister hitting you on the shoulder more than once to stop you from moving around.
âWelcome back to the keep.â Alicent greeted the rest of your family before he eyes locked onto yours, âI don't believe I recognized you.â
You open your mouth to say something but there's a pause and nothing manages to come out so you put your head down as your father speaks, âmy daughter, lady y/n, she was bedridden the last time we came to visit.â
Alicent lets out an acknowledged hum and you keep your head down fiddling with the fabric on your dress. You're sure your father will scold you later.Â
âa pleasure, this is my son aemond and his lady wife heleana, aegon could not be here..â
you can hear the annoyance in her tone but choose to not acknowledge it and greet the other two siblings.
more formalities are exchanged between the two families, âit is so wonderful for house baratheon to join us for heleanas nameday festivities, she has grown quite fond of your family-âÂ
the doors of the room you were all in burst open, all head whip back to look in shock, âprince aegon!â
âI am here.â
âYou are late.â you hear his mother hiss quietly to him as he stands in place next to his siblings.â
âapologies, my son prince aegon.âÂ
alicent introduces her son. You had heard the stories of Targaryen beauty and thought the two Targaryen siblings were gorgeous but Aegon, despite the fact he looked tired and a little sloppy, was a different level of beauty. He hadn't even needed to try and he wowed you.Â
as if he could feel your stare he locks eyes with you and you shyly put your head down towards the floor oblivious to the smirk that's grown on his face.
Some more pleasantries were exchanged but you didn't bother to lift your head still feeling his stare. You wish you weren't so awkward, if you had been anything like your sisters who could keep their heads up high and smile while locking eyes while you could barely hold a sentence with these people.
You barely even notice you had all been dismissed until you felt yourself being dragged away by your sister floris. A part of you can't get the idea of Aegon out of your head, even as you fall asleep that night you wonder if you'll get the opportunity to speak with him.
Today was meant to be the first of a three day long festival including a grand feast, a tourney and finally a ball all in honor of heleana.
The second you walk outside you are immediately hit with hundreds of people, it was definitely a celebration with music, people dancing, some watching the performers. It was magical, you had never seen such life brought to one place before.Â
You and the rest of your family were sitting in one of the higher tables closer to the targaryens, you watch as floris eagerly runs up to greet heleana while you stand with your sisters who make many comments on the festivities.
âI can't believe he can put that whole sword down his throat.â
âIt was just on fire too, how preposterous.âÂ
âMaybe he just has a lot of practice. Do you think heâs fond of men.â
Cassandra and Ellyn turn to you in horror while maris lets out your name in a chuckle while hitting your shoulder.
You shake your head with a grin but are horrified to hear the sound of laughter behind you and turn around.
âPrince aegon.â you're all clearly mortified as you all bow but he moves to stand next to you and stare at the man.Â
âIf he is not he should start to be there is so much potentially to be held.âÂ
âI am so sorry my prince i should not have-â
He waves you off with his hand and continues to look on in the crowd, âthese events are such a bore they practically force you to make such a joke.â
âI did not mean to offend-â
âYou talk like my brother.â
You have nothing else to say back instead just stand and watch the crowd disperse. It is only then you notice your sisters have all walked off elsewhere and you curse them in your head as the two of you stand in silence aside from the gulps Aegon takes from his chalice.
âWhat do you think about her?â
He points towards a contortionist not too far from where the two of you were standing. She had her leg way over her head.
âShe is very pretty.â
âOh come on, you must have some other comments to make.â
You tilt your head at her as she moves into a split and lays down flat on her stomach.
âMen must certainly fight for her attention, I am sure she is a rather capable woman.â
Your words are faster than a bird and quieter than a mouse but Aegon certainly hears them and bursts out into a roar of laughter causing those around you to turn and stare. Your face flushes and you stare at the ground as Aegon composes himself still chuckling.Â
âYou are a scandalous lady, y/n.â
You shake your head, âI do not know why I said such a thing.âÂ
âYou said it because it is true, look,â he leans in closer to you, much too close, and subtly points, âlook at lord simon staunton he looks like he wants to eat her alive.â
You gasp and bring a hand to your mouth as you take notice and look back at Aegon who has a smile on his face, âhe is old enough to be her grandfather, no even her great grandfather! That is ridiculous.âÂ
Aegon shrugs, taking another sip of wine with a chuckle. âI rather think that's what he likes about it.â Â
You can't help but laugh for the first time in this whole conversation keeping your head down. Once you finally lift your head and look at him he's already looking at you. You feel a rush of heat flood your face, he stares at you for a moment longer, his eyes drift down to your lips. He opens his mouth to speak but before he can you hear your fathers voice call out your name.
âI must go.â you quickly turn, feeling embarrassed about the sudden tension between the two of you and barely hear him as you rush away, âi shall see you lady y/nâ
You can barely relax the rest of the day your conversion with Aegon playing in your mind over and over. It was the first time you had been sop open with somebody you barely knew. It was so refreshing to be able to joke and laugh with someone who was not your family.that night you toss and turn in bed with a big smile on your face. In turn you cannot sleep so you sit up and contemplate what to do.Â
You would normally read a book but your father wouldn't allow you to take any on this trip saying there was no need for it but right now youre groaning and fall flat back on the bed.Â
An idea suddenly hits you, you remember from the tour one of the guards had given you there was a library not too far from your room. It wouldn't be an issue to go and grab a book really quickly right. A grin finds itself on your face as you realize the red keep has many books you have never read or even heard of and before you know it you throw on an overcoat and begin to quickly make your way over to the library with a lantern in hand.
Nobody would mind if you just took one maybe two books to keep you sated for the rest of your stay here right? That's what you think as you manage to sneak in and out of the library with two books under your coat as you quickly try to make your way back to your room. You almost reach your door before a voice behind you rings out.
âNow what could you be doing, wondering about by yourself..â
You turn and gasp, âprince aegon.â
In your shock the books fall out of your hands, you quickly bend down to pick them up missing the âahâ that had escaped his lips.
âSo you read?â
âI am so sorry-â
âYou did not answer my question.â
You stall for a moment, not daring to lift your head from the floor. âYes.â
He hums, âyou are quite like my brother. I see no fun in it.â
At a loss for words you keep quiet and take a step back closer to your door, turning around fully before you speak, âi shall bid you goodnight-â
âYou will sit in the royal box tomorrow for the tourney.â your movements freeze and you're thankful you are not facing him as your face must be full of shock.Â
You manage to compose yourself not turning around, âi thought my family would be sitting in one of the lower boxes-âÂ
âNot your family. You. you shall sit in the royal box. With me.âÂ
You feel a wild course of emotions run over your body. What does he mean, just you? Is he attempting to court you? He is trying to seduce you? Does he want something from you? Or maybe he is just trying to be kind? Maybe he takes pity on you after you had embarrassed yourself the last two days?Â
You must be frozen for a while because he begins to laugh. You take a deep breath, âI must decline.â because you certainly cannot sit in the royal box with the prince. What would the people think? What would your father think? You cannot even imagine having to try and explain why you would be sitting with them tomorrow.
âThis is not a request. You shall join me tomorrow. I am the prince. I say it is so.â
âBut my family.â âThey shall sit in the box in one of the many stands below.â
âI cannot just leave my family.â
He tsks and huffs, âthen so be it your family shall join us too. I'm sure heleana would be happy to be seated with floris.âÂ
Did he want you to sit in the box so badly he was willing to just add your family at your request just like that? No, he wanted you to sit in the box. With him.
âalright, goodnight my prince.âÂ
You do not even wait for a response as you book it down the hallway and slam the door to your room shut. The books you had gotten drop to the floor as you cover your hands with your face. Out of breath like you had just ran a marathon you find yourself unable to stop smiling.Â
When you and your family make your way outside you pretend to be shocked when your family is escorted to the royal box. You all greet the royal family who all stand to greet you. Aegon grabs your arm and ushers you to sit down next to him. You ignore the burning stares of your family as aegon quickly makes conversation with you.Â
âIsn't the view so great from here aren't you happy I told you to sit here?â it's not a question more so a statement and all you can do is nod your head. Â
âOh come on you must have something to say to me.â he pouted at you and you swiftly turned away from him, âwell you did not ask.â you mumble and he smiles, shaking his head and takes a drink of wine. âI certainly did not. You would have sat here one way or another.âÂ
You're thankful Aegon is sitting in the front row of the box while the rest of your family is all the way in the back so at least you won't have to deal with the questioning of your family.
âDid you prepare a favor lady , y/n?â you turn back to face queen who addressed you and nod, âyes my queen.â not mentioning it is the same favor you've had for awhile as no one had ever asked for your favor. You do not take notice to aegons clenched jaw at the question and narrow eyes at the question.
The journey begins and you've never seen a tourney as big as this one. But as it is it is pretty uneventful. You cannot hold your surprise when you see aemond being introduced. âHe is competing?â
Aegon next to you hums as he continues to drink, âhe does not like this stuff, calls it horse shit but heleana wanted to see him compete so he entered.âÂ
He of course comes up and asks heleana for her favor which she gladly gives him before he rides away.
âAnd his opponent, ser bronn beesbury!â The man rides in full confidence. When he takes off his helmet you can't help but admit he is a very handsome man, certainly not more handsome than Aegon but he was a very attractive man. He rides over near the royal box and Aegion sits up for the first time this whole tourney.
âLady baratheon, you are the essence of beauty.â he holds up his hand towards the box and you're shocked in a haste you look over the edge and toss out your favor for him to catch.Â
âYou bless me this day my lady.âÂ
You sit back in your seat unable to say anything. You end up glancing at Aegon expecting him to make some comment about the man as he had been doing with all the other fighters that day. He was not even looking at you. An unreliable look on his face as he tapped his fingers on the table next to him. He started dead at aemond who stared back for a moment before nodding and slamming his helm down.Â
The match began and you were wowed as aemond swiftly takes ser bronn down with an extra hard hit and ser bronn hits the floor and doesn't stand back up. You gasp as he's dragged off the scene and for the first time in the last couple minutes Aegon laughs turning to you. âWhat a fool thinking he can go against a targaryen.âÂ
A part of you feels like he's not just talking about aemond. Â
you didn't speak to Aegon after the tourney as the men went out on a hunt and you're grateful especially since you're more than embarrassed after your thoughts during today's tourney.Â
Though it is very tough to answer your family's questions when you don't even know yourself.
Finally it was heleanas name day and the day of the ball. You spent the morning with your family, the royal family nowhere in sight seemingly preparing for tonight's ball.
When you arrive back in your room that afternoon to prepare for the ball you and your maid are shocked to see a beautiful red and black gown laid out on the bed. âDid my father prepare this?â
The maid shook her head, she's been your maid for as long as you can remember so she freely speaks around you, âthe baratheons may be wealthy little ones but your father could not afford a dress like this one.âÂ
The dress is gorgeous as you run your hands down it you can barely believe it.
âWell come on little one let's get you dressed.â
When your family comes knocking on your door their eyes all drop to your dress, âwhat is this look about?â
âWhere did you get that dress?âÂ
âOh I made it just today.â
âShut your mouth and tell me.â
âI had no idea it was simply on my bed when I walked into my room.â
The discussion of your dress continued until you had been standing in front of the door waiting to be announced.
âIs it not obvious the prince has given her the dress?â You and Cassandra whip your heads to look at maris who shrugs.Â
âOh come on it's in the Targaryen house colors and obviously he seems obsessed with our dear sister.âÂ
âBe quiet you threeâ you would be surprised if your father could not hear the pounding of your heart as you consider marisâ idea.
Would the prince really leave you a dress like this? What could that possibly mean? Before you have any time to think, you and the rest of your family are being announced.
As you walk into the room you fail to ignore the stares of your fellow peers as they all seem to gawk at the dress you had been wearing. Keeping your head lowered slightly you eagerly rush to your seat.Â
Soon after the main family is announced and everyone stands. When you see Aegon, a pit forms in your stomach. The suit he wears is basically identical to the dress you had on, your sister maris clearly also takes notice of this as she leans towards you, âtold you so.âÂ
As the queen gives a speech and thanks everyone you attempt to hide yourself behind your father out of embarrassment but still manage to notice the smug look on aegons face as he looks over at you.Â
Soon enough dinner is served and the music starts and you forget for a moment why you had been so embarrassed in the first place laughing with your family over good food and good music. After the food in front of you had been cleared you feel eyes staring into your back, refusing to turn around you attempt to continue the conversation you had been having with your sister maris who comments on the fact that one of the lords had stepped on ever girls foot whom he's danced with which causes you to laugh.Â
A throat clears behind you and you freeze, maris smiles, âgood evening my prince.â Everyone greets him as well and he gives a greeting back. You turn back to look at him and your eyes widen as he holds out his hand.Â
âDance with me.â
He says it in the same tone he had told you you were to sit in the royal box with him. It is not a question. âAren't there any other ladies you would prefer to dance with?â
âNo. Now come on.â
You glance over at your father who smiles and moves his head signaling for you to dance.Â
You grab aegons hand and he is more than eager to let you onto the dance floor with him. âI heard you are fond of music.âÂ
âI am my prince,, where did you hear that?â
âOne of your sisters had mentioned it. The plain looking one.â
You gasp, âhow could you say such a thing?â
He chuckles his eyes never leaving yours, âI am simply stating the truth, I apologize.â
You huff and turn your face away from him, âif anything i am the plain one my prince.â
He huffs as he grabs your chin and turns your head to face him, âyou are not. Now shut your mouth.â
A silence fills between the two of you as he continues to stare at you. âWhy do you think that?â A pathetic laugh escapes you, âI am not the funniest, I am not the most pretty, not the most talented. I am the quiet sister who has no idea how to speak to people or has no confidence in anything. I shall remain alone forever as a spinster while my sisters all go off and get married.âÂ
The song ends and the two of you stand still while everyone claps. You do not look at him while he stares at you. Â
âIf you are so boring then why have you captured me so. If you are not unfunny then why do I find myself laughing more in your presence than I ever have. If you are so untalented then why are you the first lady I've enjoyed dancing with? If you shall remain alone forever then why do I wish to be by your side.âÂ
You don't even notice that all the eyes in the room are staring at the two of you, aegon is your whole world right now.
âMarry me. And I shall open up the world to you.â
Saw your ask in community! My idea; reader and Leon having to hunker down in a building during a zombie attack. Don't know if you can work something steamy but can you give it a happy ending?
Thank you silly, I want to kiss your brain this is such a good idea
NSFW !! âââ
God damn, saving the presidents daughter was more of a daunting task that you imagined. If the freaky castle you were currently trapped in wasn't enough for you and Leon, were also lucky enough to stuck right in the middle of a zombie attack.
Lucky you !!
It didn't help that you were pressed tight against Leon, considering the tiny room you had to cram into was your only option to avoid the flesh eating creatures
It didn't help that you currently had a big fat crush on him, he was just so handsome, so strong. oh how you wanted nothing more than to bite down on one of his bulky biceps as he rutted into you wildly
But that wasn't something you could think about right now, what you needee to focus on was the current dilemma you were trapped in
You anxiously chewed on your bottom lip,
"Leon ! What are we going to do ?!"
You whisper-shouted to him,
"we're gonna have to wait it out"
You let out a muted groan, leaning against him. Your forehead was millimeters from his chest, you were close enough to bury your face in-between his meaty pecs. But you couldn't, not now.
You froze when a blood curdling scream ripped through the area, belonging to one of the zombies currently occupying where you desperately needed to get past.
The last thing you wanted was to lose yourself or your partner to one of those carnivorous freaks. A muffled grunt comes from above you, Leon's large hands gripping your shoulders.
"god, stay still"
His warm breath hitting the shell of your ear, sending shivers down your spine. You mumble a quick apology, his sapphire blue eyes piercing into yours in warning.
The room you were in certainly was cramped, you were sandwiches against him, not that you minded. Your hips were pressed dangerously close together against him, face nearly buried in his chest with his hands planted on the wall either side of your head.
"how long are we supposed to wait..?"
"a while."
"how longs 'a while' ?"
Leon doesn't provide you an answer, he darts his smouldering gaze to a gap in the wooden door Infront of the pair of you
"don't we at least need something to pass the time..?"
You speak before shifting to get comfortable, you hear a sharp breath from Leon. His large hands instantly gripping your hips, the warmth seeping through from his palms
"I told you to stay still"
You swore you felt something begin to poke your thigh, you swallowed the lump in your throat of what you thought it could possibly be. You were thankful for the dim lighting that concealed the rosy hue dusting your cheeks.
"sorry.."
You murmured, the beginnings of your next sentence were interrupted;
"fuck it"
You barley had any time to thing before his lips were on yours, pressing your hips tighter against his. You moaned as you felt his cock grow and strain against your thigh.
Fuck
He felt big..
You rutted against him, the fabric of your quickly dampening panties catching against your twitching clit. The grunt he let out did nothing to help.
Your eyes fluttered closed, a rough hand shoving in your hair to keep your lips pinned to his as his tongue swirled around yours.
Your hands blindly searched for his belt, clumsily undoing the buckle with a metallic clink. He groaned when you tugged the zipper down and began to palm at him.
You could barley fully cup him with your hand, it was maddening. The way his cock throbbed against your hand, copious amounts of pre staining the front of this boxers
His hand covers yours, pressing further into your palm and grinding his leaky cock against it.
"shit, I've been dreaming about this, about you. Dreamin' about it for so long"
He growls between kisses before shoving your hand away and pulling your pants down to your knees, pulling a gasp from you.
He wasted no time tugging down his boxers, his fat cock springing free. He fed it into you, inch by every thick, mouth watering inch.
"ohh- Leon"
You moaned lowly, you didn't need any undead hearing you while you were practically living you dream.
You had to bite down on a particularly whiny moan when one of the prominent veins on his cock caught on your walls.
His mouth captured yours as he began to rut into you wildly, his pace was uneven but that didn't matter. The curved shape of him slammed into your g-spot every time his hips where plush against yours.
When Leon pulled back, he had to swallow a deep groan, watching a string of shared drool form between both of your kiss-swollen, reddend lips.
His bulky arms caged you in, your face flush against his bicep as you finally got to do something you dreamed off for so long.
Your teeth sunk into the muscle, making you moan and muffling the string of them that followed.
Warmth exploded in your body, your walls tightening around his cock, still pulsing and twitching inside of you.
"i-i'm gonna-"
"come for me, fucking come"
He panted in your ear, his thrusts becoming sloppy and messy as he got closer to his own end
In a silent scream, you soaked his cock. You looked heavenly, eyes rolled back and jaw slack with drool seeping from the corner of your lips.
Leon followed suit, groaning in your ear as he filled you up impossibly full. It was like you were in euphoria. This was perfect.
The air was mixed with both of your hot breaths as you panted for air.
"you think they're gone now..?"
You questioned breathlessly, pressing your forehead against Leon's
He nodded
"yeah, they're gone. It's silent out there now"
After cleaning up and managing to conceal the share passion you pair had, you carried on with your mission: to save Ashley
(you couldn't help the giddy feeling in your stomach every now and then, though"

masterlist
Your best friend, Xavier had a weird newfound interest in the new girl, Wednesday Addams. It seemed like that was all he could talk about. Wednesday this, Wednesday that, a matter of fact you were really getting over it. Even during class or during lunch all he would do is look out for her, even if that meant ignoring you in the process.
You slipped away to your room for lunch after class not even bothering to walk with him to the quad. Whether you would admit it out loud or not you liked your best friend maybe a little more than you should. Though you couldnât help it, now with his long hair that suited his face perfectly or the smirk he would put on when he was teasing. Maybe you were being hopeful when you thought he might out liked you back.
It sucks that the dance was so close too. You wanted him to ask you, but with Wednesday in the picture, you doubt he would. Which leaves you without a date for the dance. You had even talked to Ms. Thornhill about going off the theme a bit to go for more of a periwinkle dress instead of white which she was all in for.
Once you made it to your next class which was unfortunely botany class with Xavier, you made it a point to sit in a different seat than your usual spot next to him. The only other spot open was next to a boy that you remembered whose a werewolf named is Dylan. You made your way over to the spot next to him and set your stuff down while avoiding Xavierâs piercing stare at you.
The lesson was boring and basically filled with Bianca and Wednesday competing with each other. You had ten more minutes of the class before the bell would ring. Ms. Thornhill said since it was so close to the dance, she wouldnât torture you guys with any more homework.
âHey,â you heard from beside you. âY/n, right?â
âYeah, and yours is Dylan if my memory is correct,â you replied with a small laugh which caught Xavierâs attention.
âSomething going on with you and your boyfriend? Whoâs giving me quite the death stare this entire period?â he questioned as he noticed the otherâs glare at him. âWho knows maybe Iâll be six feet under by the time this class ends,â he joked.
âHeâs not my boyfriend,â you muttered feeling your cheeks flush with heat at the thought.
âDoes he know that?â
âYes, and I donât think he would care, all heâs been talking about is Addams over there beside him,â you claimed.
âSo he wouldnât mind if I did this?â he stuck out his arm to your seat pulling you closer to him. You yelped as you didnât expect him to be able to pull you and the chair with just one arm. âWait, nope, I definitely think he does mind actually.â
You could tell that your cheeks were bright red right now without having to look in a mirror. Not only were you blushing at the fact Dylan thought Xavier was your boyfriend, but also about how close you were to Dylan right now. You were staring at your hands but looked up, and saw Xavier who was gripping his pencil so tightly that his knuckles were white and with a clenched jaw.
âWhat are you trying to do?â you asked him as you turned your gaze from Xavier to him.
âTrying to be a good matchmaker.â
âThereâs nothing to match,â you scoffed.
âY/n, you got yourself all wrong there. That boy is so jealous right now, itâs hilarious,â he corrected you.
âDylan, thereâs-â the bell ringing cut you off.
âIâm going to whisper into your ear and all you have to do is giggle okay,â all you did was nod confused as Dylan helped you stand up from your chair and leaned in close to your face but moved in the last second to whisper in your ear. âI hope you get dicked down after this by him,â
You started to choke on the air uncontrollably at the disbelief of his words as you felt heat rush into your cheeks again.
âDylan! You did not just say that!â you gasped.
âI did, and he coming over this way right now,â Dylan started to rush to get his stuff. âIâm going to go before he punches me, good luck!â he wished you as he rushed out the door.
âWhat was that?â Xavier questioned harshly as he came closer to you.
âWhat-â you couldnât even finish your sentence before he started pulling you into the hall and dragged you all the way into his dorm room. âXavier, slow down.â
âSo you have a new boyfriend and you donât even tell me about it,â he snapped at you as he shut his door behind him.
âWhat are you even talking about?â you asked him placing your stuff down on his chair by his desk. Thatâs when you noticed his sketchbook was open, and it was a drawing of you. Though you didnât feel like this was quite the right time to mention it, as you turned your attention back to the seething boy.
âYou ignore me before lunch and then show up our next class to not even sit in your seat and sat next to wolf boy out of nowhere,â Xavier deadpanned. âThat entire class period was filled with him being all over you.â It was now your turn to get angry at the boy as you were shocked at his hypocrisy.
âYouâre joking right now, right?â you asked in pure disbelief.
âNo, I am not. He was literally all over you and you just stayed there giggling at everything he said,â he scoffed.
âYou know what, Xavier, I donât even know why you care when all youâve been talking about is Wednesday Addams,â you snapped back at him. âIt always about her with you lately, sorry for not wanting to listen to you for one class period.â
âY/n, donât be like that,â he softened.
âNo. You canât dragged me to your room and antagonized me about something you donât even know the full story too.â
âWhy would I need a full story when I watched with my own eyes?â he pointed out.
âDylan wasnât doing anything!â you exclaimed.
âReally, so he wasn't flirting with you the entire time?â he commented.
âNo!â
âY/n, you really are more oblivious than I realized.â
âXavier, youâre being ridiculous right now,â you stated. âAll he was doing was literally pointing out the fact that you were so obviously jealous.â
âHow could I not be?â he remarked. âAll I could hear was you laughing with him, and donât even get me started on how close you two were.â
âThat was the point, Xavier,â you said exasperated as you head over to his bed and laid down on it feeling so over this argument with him.
âWhat?â he questioned confused.
âDylan, thought we were dating and when I told him we arenât, he was basically like then watch this,â you said muffled into his pillow.
âYouâre an idiot.â
âMe? Youâre the idiot,â you countered.
âBe my idiot,â he blurted which caused you to lift your head from his pillow as you sat up on his bed.
âIâve been yours this entire time, you idiot,â you laughed as he came closer to sit on the bed. âMaybe if you actually paid some attention to me you wouldâve noticed sooner,â you admitted bitterly as you thought about him talking about Wednesday this past week.
âWait what?â
âXavier, you vex me to no end,â you told him as you leaned closer to his face. âMaybe thatâs why I fell so hard for you.â
âYou make me go mad,â Xavier closed the space between you two as he placed a hand on your cheek pulling you to meet his lips.
It was as if you could feel the pent up emotion Xavier was putting into the kiss.You smiled into the kiss wrapping your arms around his neck as his hands moved to your hips. You moved forward slightly to lean more into him and he let out a groan against your mouth. He stilled in the kiss, keeping your hips in place from moving further. You both pulled away to catch your breath.
âWhat does this mean for us?â you questioned softly looking into his eyes.
âI think this means you're mine officially,â he smirked.
âI think you have to ask a certain question though,â you joked.
âYouâre really going to make me ask,â he laughed throwing his head back.
âOh, absolutely.â
âWill you, Y/n, be my girlfriend and go to the RaveâN Dance with me,â he asked you raising his hand to tuck a piece of loose hair that fell onto your face.
âOf course, I will,â you smiled back. âYou know if I knew all it took was being close to some guy for you to finally ask me out, I wouldâve done it sooner. Maybe again, with all this pent up frustration,â you joked letting out a giggle.
âNO! No more guys. EVER!â he said pushing you down on the bed to give you another kiss. "I mean it."
