You know I can’t - George Clarkey
words : 1.0k +
warnings : emotional manipulation, toxic relationship dynamics, angst & heartbreak, emotional cheating
George had convinced himself that this time would be different.
That this time, he wouldn’t come running. That this time, he would let you fade into the background, let himself breathe, let himself live without waiting for you to decide whether or not you wanted him.
For a while, it worked.
He had met someone—someone kind, someone who made him laugh without making his chest ache. She didn’t play games, didn’t make him question his worth, didn’t treat his love like something to be picked up and put down whenever it was convenient.
And for the first time in a long time, George felt like he could finally move forward.
But then his phone buzzed.
"Miss you."
Two words. That was all it took.
His stomach twisted as he stared at the message, knowing exactly what would happen next.
He didn’t respond, but it didn’t matter. Because his mind was already elsewhere. With you.
And the girl sitting across from him at the restaurant knew it too.
She sighed, setting her fork down as she studied him. “It’s her, isn’t it?”
George’s throat went dry. “What?”
She gave him a sad smile, the kind that made his chest tighten with guilt. “It’s always going to be her.”
He opened his mouth to protest—to say that wasn’t true, that he was trying, that he wanted to move on—but the words never came.
Because they both knew she was right.
Twenty minutes later, he was standing outside your door.
Again.
He hated himself for it. Hated that all it took was one message, one breadcrumb of attention, for him to come crawling back.
But he knocked anyway.
You answered almost instantly, leaning against the frame, eyes flickering with something unreadable. “I knew you’d come.”
He let out a sharp breath, running a hand through his hair. “Why do you keep doing this to me?”
You blinked, tilting your head slightly. “Doing what?”
His jaw clenched, frustration simmering beneath his skin. “This. Calling me back every time I try to leave. Keeping me on a string like I’m some—some backup plan.”
You exhaled, folding your arms across your chest. “If it bothers you so much, then leave, George.”
His breath hitched.
But you didn’t say it in anger. You didn’t want him to leave. You just wanted to see if he would.
And you both knew the answer.
A bitter laugh escaped his lips. “You know I can’t.”
Something flickered across your face then—something like guilt, or maybe even regret. “George…”
His voice broke slightly as he cut you off. “I know this is bad. I know I should walk away. I know I should stop letting you do this to me.” He took a shaky breath. “But I can’t.”
You stared at him, the weight of his words hanging between you.
And then, in the softest voice, barely above a whisper, you admitted, “Because I don’t want you with anyone else.”
His stomach flipped, but he refused to let himself fall so easily this time. “Why?”
You hesitated.
And for the first time, you looked uncertain.
“I don’t know,” you murmured, almost to yourself.
George let out a humorless laugh, shaking his head. “You don’t know?” His voice was sharp, wounded. “You don’t know why you don’t want me, but you don’t want anyone else to have me either?”
You swallowed hard, your fingers twitching at your side. “I just—”
“Do you love me?” he cut in, voice raw.
The silence that followed was deafening.
You opened your mouth. Closed it. Looked away.
And that was his answer.
His chest tightened, the same ache settling in—the one he knew all too well. The one he had learned to live with because he would rather have you like this than not at all.
You finally looked back at him, eyes searching his. And then, softly, hesitantly, you whispered,
"I don’t… not love you."
It was the cruelest thing you could have said.
Because as much as George hated it—hated the way you danced around the truth, hated the way you never gave him a real answer—those words gave him hope.
And hope was the most dangerous thing of all.
You reached for him then, fingers brushing against his. “You’re such a good person, George.”
He let out a breathless, broken laugh. “No. I’m just an idiot when it comes to you.”
And just like always, you stepped aside, letting him in.
And just like always, he stayed.
a request for maybe some george smut after he comes back from the useless hotline tour that we werent able to go on ?? so like he hasnt seen us in a while
the second george steps into his bedroom, he drops his bags and heads for the shower. he knows you're on your way over, having been waiting by your phone all day for him to let you know he's back. so when your phone dinged, you were already halfway out the door, tripping over your own feet trying to get there as soon as possible.
conveniently, you live about a ten-minute walk away, meaning you're used to seeing george every day. the two weeks he and max had been on tour were difficult, but you tried to make the best out of the situation and would call each other whenever you could.
a few minutes after he had got in the shower, you're at the flat taking the familiar path to his room. your heart pounds in anticipation as you undress quickly after closing the door, glad you'll finally be with him again.
the warm air surrounds you when you step inside the bathroom and lazily drag your eyes over his body. he's standing under the water, eyes closed and head thrown back, making you think of the more sinful times you'd seen him in this position.
"hi george." you say, a smile breaking out on his face when he sees you.
"hi darling. come here." he replies, arms outstretched toward you.
you step into the shower, letting him pull you into him as you wrap your arms around his neck. his arms tighten around you and you close your eyes, water cascading over you both. a comfortable silence sets in and several minutes pass before either of you speak.
"wish you could've come with us, you have no idea how much i missed you. i even struggled to fall asleep." george admits, his cheeks turning slightly red at the confession.
"really?" you raise your eyebrows at him to which he nods, "i missed you too. had to cuddle the teddy you got me instead. wasn't the same."
your hands untangle from his hair and cup his jaw, connecting your lips in a kiss. as the water continues to flow, the kiss grows more passionate. george's hands travel further down, one landing on your ass and squeezing it, the other pressed flat against your lower back to pull you closer to him.
"george," you don't mean for it to come out so breathless, but when his lips detach from yours to trail kisses down your neck, you can't help it, "you've literally just stepped through the door."
"mhm. but, i also currently have my sexy, loving, amazing girlfriend, who i've missed so much, naked in my shower. so, i don't understand the issue." he counters, making you giggle.
two fingers make their way between your legs and start toying with your clit before sliding into you, the sudden stretch causing your knees to buckle. you can feel his cock against your thigh, so you begin pumping him at the same pace he's fingering you, steadily building up your orgasm.
he curls his fingers, repeatedly hitting that spot inside you and your orgasm washes over you within minutes, hands scratching at his back. your eyes squeeze shut and you clench around his fingers, moans filling the room while you ride out your high.
"fuck, baby." you pant, trying to catch your breath.
a proud smirk is plastered on george's face, "you good?"
"so good. your turn."
you go to drop to your knees to return the favour, but he's quick to stop you and shake his head. when a pout appears on your lips, he kisses it away.
"as amazing as that would be, i need to be inside you, like now." he pleads and grips your hips, moving you until your back is pressed against the shower wall.
contradicting his words, he slowly drags his cock through your folds, letting the tip bump your clit a few times. but you're impatient, so you replace his hand with yours and align him with your entrance, jaw dropping as he pushes in.
"fuck, you feel so good, shit." he groans, hands on your hips keeping you steady while he fucks up into you.
he starts off slow, letting you adjust, but as your moans and whimpers grow more desperate, so do his thrusts. the only two words leaving your mouth are 'fuck' and 'george', his ego growing and determination to make you cum doubling.
a particularly harsh thrust has you crying out, holding onto him tighter. the sound of skin slapping echoes around the bathroom, more than likely being heard over the water that's still running.
"you close darling, yea? you gonna cum?" he leans down, connecting your lips once again, not giving you time to respond.
the knot in your stomach is dangerously close to snapping and he knows, one of his hands leaving your hips to rub tight circles on your clit.
"please george." you whimper, clenching around him so tight he swears his brain short circuits.
"cum for me."
a whine escapes your lips and you throw your head back, letting your second orgasm take over your body. his rhythm falters as you cum around him, raking your nails up his back until they're digging into his shoulders.
george's head drops to your shoulder, thrusting into you a few times before pulling out, spilling over your thighs with a moan. both of your chests are heaving while you try to even out your breathing and he places multiple kisses to your shoulder and neck.
"well, that was quite the welcome home." george chuckles, "might leave more often if that's what i get when i come back."
"don't you dare."
--------
a low whistle comes from behind george as he enters the kitchen. you're curled up in his bed, having had a proper shower after his 'welcome home', and he's gone to grab you some water in just a pair of joggers, not realising bright red scratch marks are all over his back.
"take it y/n is here then?" chris chuckles, eyeing george from the sofa.
"uh, yea? how'd you know?" he furrows his brows in confusion since there's no sign of your things in the kitchen or living room.
before chris can answer, arthur hill walks in, eyes widening when he notices the marks too.
"damn george, what the hell happened to you?"
"y/n." chris replies, not taking his eyes off the tv.
"ah, right." arthur nods in understanding with a smirk on his face.
deciding to ignore their comments, george walks back to his room, being met with your horrified expression when he turns around.
"george! did you actually go to the kitchen like that?" you groan and he nods, confused, "there's marks all over your back. it's so obvious we've just fucked."
well, that explains it.
a/n not proofread sorry <33 hope you enjoyed!
george is in the kitchen finishing the washing up, when he notices the ever-noisy house is now oddly silent. this is unusual considering your 6 year old twin daughters, willow and ivy, are home. knowing silence is more often than not an indicator of his girls being up to no good, george decides to see what they're up to.
he makes his way to the living room, expecting them to be playing with their toys, but to his surprise, they're not there. next, he checks their bedroom, again not finding them. he begins to panic a little before hearing a giggle from your shared bedroom.
quietly, george pushes open the door, wanting to see what they're doing. the second ivy spots her dad, the smile on her face is replaced with a worried expression, and she tries to hide what they're playing with behind her back. willow turns around at her sister's reaction, replicating ivy's expression when she realises george has found them. but it's obvious what they were doing, the sheer amount of makeup on willow's face a dead giveaway.
"ivy-mae what have you been doing to your sister?" george asks, his tone soft but stern.
she starts fiddling with her dress, not meeting his gaze, "we're playing dress up."
"we wanted to be pretty like mummy." willow adds, tears welling up in her eyes since she thinks george is mad at them.
his eyes soften and he sits down next to them, pulling them both into a hug. willow doesn't pull away from the hug, instead nuzzling her face into george's chest as she starts to cry. makeup definitely gets on his top, but he can't find it in him to care.
"darling, don't cry. i'm not mad," he strokes her cheek, wiping away a tear, "but you should've asked to use mummy's stuff okay? and you don't need makeup. you're the prettiest girls in the whole wide world."
grabbing some of your makeup wipes, george carries willow into the bathroom, setting her on the counter. he gently wipes her face until all the makeup is gone and kisses her cheek.
while george is taking off willow's makeup, ivy tidies away your makeup and puts the bag back where she found it. she runs over to the bathroom when george calls her name and she proudly tells him she's tidied up.
"thank you poppet. how about we go get into pyjamas and watch tv until mummy comes home?" george suggests, earning eager nods from his girls.
he takes both their hands, getting them ready for bed before leading them to the living room where 'minions' is still playing. they all get comfortable on the sofa, the blanket draped over the three of them and ivy and willow curl into his side. evidently playing dress up tires them out, and they soon fall asleep, george not far behind.
when you come home from dinner with grace, that's how you find them, all sleeping on the sofa. george is now stretched out, arms wrapped protectively around willow and ivy. you take a quick photo and walk over, placing a kiss on his lips, causing him to wake up.
"hey sleepyhead, were they a handful?" you nod to your sleeping daughters.
"nothing i couldn't handle." george responds.
willow stirs at the sound of voices, her fluttering eyes open, "mummy?"
"hi baby, you have fun with daddy?" you whisper, leaning down to brush a strand of hair from her face.
she hums in response, eyes struggling to stay open. george sits up, careful not to wake ivy, who was still fast asleep, and you give him another kiss as a silent thank you for looking after them tonight.
"we should probably get them to bed." you suggest.
george nods, letting you pick willow up first before he lifts ivy into his arms. willow wraps her arms around your neck, leaning her head on your shoulder as you make your way to the girl's bedroom.
once they're both tucked in, you place a kiss on their foreheads and turn on the nightlight. you pull the door to, making sure to leave a gap like you do every night. turning around, you wrap your arms around george's waist and rest your head against his chest, hugging him tight.
"george, why do you have makeup all over your top?" you quietly giggle, tilting your head up to look at him.
"they were playing dress up. said they wanted to be pretty just like mummy. i thought i got all the makeup off." george mumbles, rubbing your back.
"aww, i hope you told them they don't need it. that they're the most beautiful girls in the world." you say softly.
"of course i did."
"good. now can we please go to bed?"
"absolutely."
a/n i can't stop thinking about girl dad george <333 i wasn't expecting to get so carried away with this but i did. anyway, hope you enjoyed it! i'm still working on requests but wanted to post something else for you guys while i work through them <3
hey!! i love the way you write for george it’s so cute - could i request something where the reader is good friends with max and they’re all at a social event and george meets her for the first time and he gets a huge crush on her (maybe some teasing from his housemates) and then maybe a bit about how the relationship develops
all good if not!!! ty ❤️❤️
of course lovely! here you go <3
by the time you and max arrive at george's housewarming party, the sounds of laughter and music filling the air are in full swing. max can sense your nerves, and reassures you quickly with a side hug before dragging you to get a drink.
it was only your first week in london, having recently just moved, after much convincing from max. you'd been close friends with him for years. he knows how nervous you were about making such a big move, so when george mentioned the party, max knew this was the perfect opportunity to introduce you to everyone and make you feel more welcome.
after being handed a drink, you're pulled over to where george and grace are currently bickering about a tiktok they saw. grace is the first to spot you both, getting up and giving max a hug before introducing herself.
"hi babe! you must be y/n," you nod, returning her hug, "max mentioned he was bringing someone. you want a drink?"
"uh, no i've just got one but thank you. let me know when you get another one and i'll join you though." you smile before she walks off.
"probably for the best, grace can't measure drinks for shit. i'm george by the way."
"i know," internally you cringe, not wanting to make yourself sound like a weird fan or stalker, "i mean because i watch the podcast, and max loves to talk about you."
max's jaw drops, and he playfully shoves your shoulder, "i do not!"
"yes, you do. don't lie."
as the night goes on and you gain confidence through the drinks you consume, you find yourself gravitating toward george. you'd been introduced to everyone, him having taken over from max at some point in the evening, wanting to spend as much time with you as possible despite only just meeting you.
chris and arthur, george's flatmates, notice the way his eyes follow you whenever you're talking to someone else or grabbing a drink, and decide to tease him.
"george," he gives a hum of acknowledgment, but his eyes never leave you, "you're staring."
"chris shut up. i'm not staring." he mumbles, quickly shifting his gaze to the phone in his hand.
it's a lie, of course he's staring. how could he not?
"so, you have a plan? or are you just gonna stare all night and hope that she'll magically become your girlfriend?" arthur teases making george roll his eyes.
ignoring the laughs from behind him, he walks over to where you and grace are and rests a hand on your lower back to gain your attention.
"hey, sorry to interrupt. can i steal you for a minute?"
"yea of course." you say, taking his hand as he leads you to somewhere more private.
his hands grow clammy as he closes his bedroom door and you notice how he won't meet your eye for longer than a couple of seconds at a time.
"george, are you okay?"
he shoves his hands in his pockets and finally meets your gaze, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.
"sorry if this is too forward and i know we've just met but i was wondering if you'd wanna grab a drink some time? no pressure to say yes or anything."
the few seconds of silence are killing him before you nod your head with a grin on your face.
"i'd love to." you giggle and pull out your phone to get his number.
--------
the next few weeks you and george are barely apart, spending nearly every day together. his friends don't stop their teasing but he doesn't let it bother him. he's just happy with how well things are going.
the date had gone well, a local bar allowing you to get to know each other more in a relaxed environment. conversation between you both flowed easily, filling the space with laughter as you found out more about each other. it was evident by the end of the date that the feelings were mutual.
weeks turn into months, and everyone around you is glad you're both so happy and smitten with one another. george is constantly proving to be an incredible boyfriend, making sure you feel loved and appreciated, surprising you with random gifts or nights away.
one night, you're at george's flat for the weekly movie night that now happens. his arm is wrapped around your waist and you're curled into him, head on his shoulder.
"have we ever told you how thankful we are you adopted george as your rescue boyfriend?" arthur chuckles and george groans at the reminder of the infamous tweet, "means his whole personality can't be about being single."
"yea you've mentioned it once or twice," you laugh as george hides his face in your neck, blushing, "don't get embarrassed baby, you're my favourite rescue boyfriend."
his head shoots up and he cocks his eyebrow, "what do you mean your favourite? what other rescue boyfriends have you had?"
"never you mind, just watch the movie."
you push his head towards the tv but before you realise what's happening, george is mercilessly tickling you. a shriek of laughter escapes your lips.
"george! stop, i'm sorry!" you gasp, trying to pry his wrists away from your sides, but you're trapped underneath him.
watching the scene unfold in front of them, chris and arthur smile, feeling happy for george at him being so undoubtedly in love.
"okay, okay! i surrender! please stop!" your sides physically hurt from your uncontrollable laughing.
at last, george stops, gripping your hips instead and you're panting as you try to catch your breath.
"tell me i'm not a rescue boyfriend and that i'm actually the best boyfriend in the world." he demands, his voice a mix of mock sternness and affection.
"you're not a rescue boyfriend, you're actually the best boyfriend in the world. i love you." he dips his head, placing a kiss on your lips before you both sit up.
"i love you too." george repeats, letting you cuddle into his side again.
in your tickle fight, you both momentarily forget where you are until you hear arthur speak, "you two are so cute."
a look is shared between you and you both know there's nowhere else you'd rather be than in this moment.
Heyyy I was wondering if you could write a gc fic about y/n being on her period and she is having really bad cramps. George would defo be so nice and offer to cuddle and try to comfort her when she is in pain 😊😊
the way i’m literally on my period rn with the WORST pain ☹️
after 22 years on earth, she thought she'd have found a way to deal with the pain that her periods always caused. it's always the worst few days of her life whenever it comes and george absolutely hates seeing her in pain when he can't do much to help.
she's at her flat, not wanting to annoy the boys with her mood swings and breakdowns, curled on the sofa hugging a hot water bottle. a platform roulette video playing on the tv to try and distract her from the cramps, but to no avail, her discomfort making it difficult to concentrate on anything.
the sound of keys in the door makes her smile, knowing it's george since he has his own set, praying he’s brought chocolate. the smile widens when she sees a waitrose bag in his hand, confirming her hopes.
"hi baby, still feeling rotten?" he asks, handing her the bag with a kiss to her forehead, "cramps?"
"mhm, they're really bad today." she nods with a pout as george starts redoing her hot water bottle since it’s now cold, "thank you for coming over."
"it's okay darling, wanna look after you." he reassures, giving her a sympathetic smile while she watches what he's doing.
he gives her the new hot water bottle and she gets up, asking him to lie down so she can lay in between his legs. once they're both comfortable, she lets out a content sigh, feeling at ease for the first time all day. the tablets have finally kicked in, and combined with the hot water bottle and george's hands rubbing her stomach, the pain is subsiding.
"can you pass me the bag, please?" he picks it up off the floor, letting her grab the chocolate bar before placing it back down, "thank you, you're the best."
"yea, i know," she turns in his hold, giggling at him while eating a piece of chocolate, "it's my job to look after you. you know? as the world's best boyfriend 'n all."
playfully rolling her eyes, she stretches to give him a few quick kisses while his hands stroke her back in a relaxing manner. her cheek is now pressed against his chest, with the hot water bottle on her lower back and arms wrapped around his middle.
she turns and faces the back of the sofa while the tv continues to play in the background, its brightness harsh on her eyes in contrast to the darkness of her living room. george pulls the blanket off the back of the sofa to cover them both, his heartbeat beginning to lull her into some much-needed sleep.
"go to sleep sweetheart, promise i'll be here when you wake up." he whispers into her hair, stroking it out of her face.
"i love you." she mumbles into his shirt, pulling the blanket over her a bit more.
"i love you too."
a/n sorry it’s short, also not proofread <33
requests are open guys <33 also if anyone has sent in a request that hasn't been done please resend it as tumblr has been deleting them even though i've had a notification </3
it's not unusual for you to be over at george's flat considering you and him met at university and both moved to london around the same time. but about four months ago, your relationship changed from close friends to just that, a relationship.
you'd both decided to not tell anyone, despite how difficult it was proving to be to not be all over each other 24/7. the fans knew of you, to an extent. you'd appear in the backgrounds of videos or tiktoks posted by the boys. your social media was public, however, none of your accounts included your name, making it less likely for fans to find you.
tonight, you're over at the flat again, legs strewn over george's lap and eating some of the dominoes he'd ordered. a movie chris had picked out plays on the tv, but was now long forgotten about since a debate has broken out amongst the boys. over what? you don't know. you're too focused on the way george's hand is subconsciously trailing up your thigh, dangerously high for a 'close friend'. he honestly hasn't noticed that he's doing it, too engaged in the ongoing debate. so, you pick your phone up from your chest and message him.
too high x
his phone dings and he leans forward, grabbing it off the table before noticing it was from you. you watch as his brows furrow in confusion, before sending him another message.
your hand x
realisation hits george and he squeezes your thigh gently as an apology, moving his hand back down to rest above your knees. he mouths 'sorry' at you, to which you can't help but giggle and shake your head. arthur (hill) looks between you two in slight confusion, going to say something but deciding to keep his mouth shut.
it wasn't that you didn't want to tell people, you'd both just agreed it would be easier figuring things out and adjusting to this shift in dynamic without other people prying their noses in. it didn't make the thrill of getting caught any less exciting though. even the simple things such as him wrapping his arms around your waist and kissing your shoulder made you get an adrenaline rush.
you can feel your eyes growing heavy, despite it still being relatively early, and decide to call it a night.
"sorry guys but i'm gonna head to bed," an echo of boos fill the room while you shrug, laughing, "i'm tired guys leave me alone. mind if i crash in your bed george?"
it feels weird having to ask your boyfriend if you can sleep in his bed, but it seems to be doing the trick of keeping the relationship a secret. there are only three bedrooms and you've known george the longest, so it makes sense you'd stay in his room.
"no go for it, i probably won't be long." you give him a smile and climb off the sofa, heading to his room.
george's eyes widen when he next checks the time, not realising it was so late.
"shit." he mumbles to himself, gaining a weird look from the boys.
"you alright george?" arthur (hill) questions.
"yea i'm fine. just didn't realise it was so late that's all, got stuff to do tomorrow. i'm gonna go to bed though, night guys." he was lying right through his teeth, he had nothing to do tomorrow.
what george had meant to be ten minutes or so had turned into an hour and a half. arthur (tv) ended up coming over and they'd gotten so caught up in conversation that time seemed to fly by. he knows that you hate falling asleep without him and feels guilt seep into his skin. especially since he knows you won't ask for him to come to bed, not wanting it to come off weird since to the others, you're 'just friends'.
you're staring at the ceiling when he shuts his bedroom door, having fallen asleep for all of twenty minutes before you woke up to an empty bed over an hour ago.
"i'm so sorry baby, i didn't realise it had been that long," you turn to look at him, enjoying the way he starts stroking your cheek with his thumb, "have you been waiting for me?"
"mhm, fell asleep for about twenty minutes and been awake since. it's okay though, kept myself busy," george's jaw drops slightly, clearly misunderstanding your words, "oh my god george, no! i meant by reading some more of my book you perv. get your mind out the gutter."
he laughs and goes in to kiss you but you push his forehead away before he can. you scrunch up your face in disgust.
"ow, what was that for?" he's rubbing his forehead like you just hit him with a bat, making it much more dramatic than necessary.
"brush your teeth, you have pizza breath." he tries to do it again and catch you off guard but fails, "i mean it george."
"yes ma'am."
he disappears into the bathroom and returns a few minutes later. his teeth are brushed and he's wearing a pair of grey joggers. your arms open wide, inviting him to lay on top of you so you can run your nails through his hair and up and down his back. a feeling both of you love.
"can i kiss you now?" he teases, grin widening when you nod your head.
several kisses are planted on your face and you know he's purposefully missing your lips. you frown, wanting him to kiss you properly, not having felt his lips on yours in what felt like years. realistically, it's been a few hours.
"george, kiss me properly." you whine.
and he does just that. one hand holding himself up to hover over you, the other stroking your cheek and bringing you in closer until your lips finally meet. the kiss starts off slow and loving, until he presses you further into the mattress, his hands beginning to roam your body. every ounce of sleep you were feeling disappears, suddenly becoming hyper aware of what's happening.
pulling away, you mumble, "we can't, everyone's here. they'll hear us."
"never stopped us before." george whispers against your mouth, connecting your lips once again.
well touché.
a/n don't ask where the inspiration for this came from at 2 in the morning cause i don't have an answer. not proofread either sorryyy. shall i make a part two? i feel like i'll end up doing it anyway but what do you guys think??
Hiiiiii ❤️❤️
Would you be up for writing any George Clarke fics about labour or birth???
here you go lovely <3
if you had to describe your labour in three words they would be long, painful and frustrating.
baby girl clarkey had clearly found your uterus an enjoyable place to live the past nine months. you were nine days overdue when your water broke and throughout labour, she seemed to be refusing to descend. in an attempt to lessen the pain and quicken the process, the midwife recommended a birthing ball. you nodded, hoping gravity would do its job. you were also grateful for anything that would provide you with some relief. george carefully guided you to sit on the ball since he wanted to be useful in any way he could. a tired smile was thrown his way and he felt like crying seeing how much pain you were in.
"i'm so incredibly proud of you my love. it won't be long till we get to meet our babygirl," he presses a lingering kiss to your forehead and moves behind you to redo your hair, "i hope she looks like you."
"why?" you questioned, sensing the start of yet another contraction.
"cause you're beautiful."
"you're so cheesy." george's jaw dropped, pretending to be offended.
he started massaging your back as you concentrated on breathing through another contraction. the midwife kept checking your progress and her heartbeat and after what seemed like days, she finally said the words you were so excited and yet so scared to hear.
"alright y/n, it's time to push. let's have this baby." you turned to look at george, a terrified expression on your face.
"baby, you can do this. everyone knows it." he gave you a reassuring smile.
the midwife and george went to help you up off the ball to the bed before you stopped them, "wait, i want george there. on the bed i mean. behind me."
in a matter of seconds, he was on the bed after getting the midwife's nod of approval and removing his shoes and jumper. before the need to push hit, you got comfortable, laying against george's chest. screaming, crying, and lots of encouraging words filled the next few minutes. you gripped george's hands tightly as each contraction came and pushed hard until the sound you had been waiting months to hear filled the room.
your beautiful baby girl's cry.
she was placed on your chest, and a rush of overwhelming love and relief flooded over you. tears filled your eyes as you took in every detail of her. her tiny fingers and toes. her nose which she definitely got from you. everything about her was perfect. george, who was also crying, kissed your shoulder and stroked his baby girl's cheek.
"she's so perfect," he whispered, "i'm so, so, so proud of you. i love you."

(i was gonna just end it there but i wanted to include telling the boys so have this)
you were in love with her, and both of you were enjoying and starting to adjust to life as a family of three, even if it had only been a few hours. labour had exhausted you but you seemed too overwhelmed with emotions to be able to sleep. you also hadn't had time to since both your families had arrived, wanting to meet the newest addition and check up on you both.
"george?" he hummed in acknowledgment, still enamored with his baby girl.
"you wanna facetime chris and them lot?" his head popped up at the question, moving from the side of the cot to sit by you on the bed.
"you sure? i don't want it to be too much. and i was quite enjoying our baby bubble." he brushed a piece of hair from your face, scanning your face for any sort of hesitance.
"me too," you agreed, "but i think they'll notice something's off when you don't go to the flat to watch the match tonight."
"well, i was still gonna go," he had a cheeky smirk on his face, watching for your reaction, to which you raise your eyebrows, "i'm joking. yea okay, let's facetime them."
george grabbed his phone and face timed chris, knowing the rest of the group will already be there for the match. the phone rang for a few seconds before he answered.
"alright mate?" chris asked, before realising george wasn't on his way like he thought he would be, "where are you? we're all waiting for you."
"uh, i actually won't make it tonight. something's come up. who's there anyway?" shouts of disappointment came from the other end of the phone and you couldn't help but quietly laugh.
"literally everyone. mr television, mr hill, chip, will, cal. you know the rest, do i have to name everyone? it's the boys." george cringed at that, knowing chris only says it to wind him up.
"chris, just shut up. can you put the phone somewhere please, i need everyone to be able to see me," you both watched as the phone was placed on the table and everyone filtered into shot one by one, "also, can someone please record this on their camera if they have it with them?"
you grabbed george's hand, knowing he was nervous, and nodded at him as though to ask if he was ready since you could hear some of the boys asking what was going on. he passed the phone to you, earning more looks of confusion before chip spoke up.
"y/n, we love you but what's with the teasing. we have a game to watch." you rolled your eyes, feeling the bed dip from george having just brought over your baby girl.
you couldn't contain your smile, "we have a surprise." you turned the camera to george, who was cradling your daughter in his arms.
the other end of the phone was silent for a few moments before they erupted into cheers.
"will, you owe me fifty quid." cal cheered, turning to him with a hand out expectantly.
"hang on a minute, you guys were betting on when i'd give birth?" you gasped as they all nodded their heads.
"you were nine days past your due date y/n. it was only a matter of time." will confirmed, handing cal his money.
"congratulations though guys, she's gorgeous. does she have a name yet?" arthur tv asked, as they all quieted down waiting.
you glanced at george, who nodded, knowing you had your heart set on a name, "yea. this is isla."
questions came one after the other from the boys, but george knew you were tired and isla needed to be fed. dad mode was evidently activated.
"guys calm down. we'll answer the questions when we see you but for now, you have a match to watch and we have a baby to feed. we just wanted you to know she was here." you all said goodbye to each other before the call ended, allowing you to go back to your own little bubble.
"we did it." you whispered, staring at the tiny little girl who somehow looked even smaller in george's arms.
"we did."
Heyy x can we get some George fluff about him feeling the baby kick,i feel like this would be so cute 😭😭
this is so cute!
your pregnancy makes george the happiest man alive but also a nervous wreck, overanalysing every reaction you have or situation you're in.
you're both laying on the sofa when it first happens. your back against his chest, leaning against him while one of his hands rests on your small bump, the other on your thigh.
"and then becky- woah." your eyes widen as you feel what you think is a light kick, instantly grabbing george's hand.
"woah what? are you okay? what happened?"
"did you feel that? baby just kicked me i swear." as you start to lightly press on your bump, a grin spreads over george's face and he starts recording on his phone to save the milestone.
"oh my god, i wanna feel. let me talk to him," you raise your eyebrows at george, who keeps insisting baby clarke is a boy, even though neither of you know the gender, "hey baby, as much as i love mum i need you to kick her again for me please. just don't hurt her."
"wait that worked, i can feel them moving. put your hand here." a few seconds later, there's another kick right where george is applying pressure.
and another.
and another.
"you've really woken up now huh?" you laugh at the comment and george rests his chin on your shoulder, repeatedly pressing light kisses across it, "this is mental."
"i know, i'm so excited to meet you sweetheart," you continue rubbing your bump and turn your head to look at george, "i love you george."
"i love you too darling."
and now ever since the baby kicked, george insists he has to have his hands on your bump whenever you're around, just in case they kick again.
Hi! Not a request but I got excited cos we seem to have f1 and Clarkey in common so I wanted to reach out👋🏼😊
hiiii!! i love them both so much! can’t belive lando finally won a race 🫶🏼🤭
Please can we get some george fluff/smut??
of course, sorry it's taken so long <3
work was killing you. the hours, the workload, it was all becoming too much and you felt like you hadn't seen george in weeks. so when you got to his apartment and kicked off your shoes, appreciating the feeling of carpet under your feet, you knew you just needed george.
it was unusually quiet, the sound of laughter and the boy's voices being absent. instead, you were met with an empty kitchen and living room, so you headed to his room, figuring he'd probably be at his desk editing.
which is exactly where he was.
"george?" you said softly, catching his attention as he turned his head, taking off his headphones.
"hey, how was work?" the question was simple enough, but it made you want to cry.
"it was awful george. it was such a long day. i just wanted to come and see you. missed you so much." tears were threatening to fall and george was quick to stand up and wrap his arms protectively around you, kissing the top of your head.
"i'm sorry you had such a bad day darling, can i do anything to make it better?" george asked, deciding to leave the editing until tomorrow and focus completely on you.
"i'm gonna go shower. join me?" you replied, and by your tone of voice and the tiredness evident on your face, he knew it wouldn't be that kind of shower, but he didn't care.
"of course, i'll wash your hair if you want?" george suggested.
giving him a nod in response and a quick peck on his lips, you made your way to his bathroom and started the shower, the hot water instantly relaxing your muscles as soon as you got in.
george joined a few minutes later, pulling you into him and letting you rest your weight against him while he ran his fingers up and down your back. the silence between you both was more than welcomed, a stark contrast to the constant noise and arguments you'd dealt with all day.
"you okay?" he whispered when you rested your chin on his chest, staring up him with a soft smile on your lips.
"thank you," george furrowed his brows in confusion, not knowing what you were thanking him for, "thank you for always knowing what to say to make me feel better and dropping whatever you're doing to make sure i'm okay. i really don't deserve you. i love you."
the way those last three words slipped off your tongue so easily made george's heartbeat speed up.
the ones he'd never felt the need to say to anyone other than his family and close friends.
the ones that neither of you had said to each other yet.
the ones that he'd wanted to tell you for so long.
"george?"
he hummed in acknowledgment as he stared back at you, needing to process your words.
"if you don't want to say it back yet that's fine. i don't want you to say it just because i did. but i wanted you to know that i do. i love you." you grew nervous from his silence, going to unwrap your arms from around him and get on with your shower, but he only tightened his arms around you and captured your lips in a kiss.
"you have no idea how long i've wanted to tell you that i love you y/n." he said as he swore to himself he was never going to forget this moment, smile never once leaving his face.
relief flooded over you, your nerves disappearing as you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding.
"why didn't you?"
"i was scared," george admitted, "it sounds stupid i know. but i think it's because i've not been in a serious enough relationship where i felt the need to tell someone i love them. with you i felt something was different. and i was right. i love you."
"i love you too george clarke."
a/n hope you enjoyed this! i went with fluff cause i'm hopefully going to post some smut in the next few days <3 (i didn't really know how to end this, sorryyyy)
Hi! Pleeeeease can we get some soft george smut? Xx
oh absolutely lovely <333
"i need you," the words were mumbled against george's lips almost as soon as he walked into the flat, "please."
just those words had him turned on. which is how he'd found himself in this position; you straddling him, fingers tangled in his hair. not that he minded. it hadn't even taken half an hour since he'd stepped through the door for you to get him into bed.
"george." you whined, needing something more.
"yea?" he teased, fingers rubbing soft circles on your waist under your shirt, a knowing smirk plastered on his face, "what is it my love?"
"please. i missed you." you pouted at him as he kissed your lips.
your hands that were in his hair moved to the shirt you were wearing and pulled it over your head, your naked chest now on full display.
george couldn't help but stare, or as he'd put it, admire. he could never get enough of you, and he made sure you knew it every time; always taking his time with you and making you feel special.
"so pretty." he groaned, hands moving up to cup your breasts, softly massaging them and rubbing his thumb over your nipples.
several hickeys were marked onto your breasts and collarbones and it was good, but it wasn't enough. so you decided to take matters into your own hands and rid yourself of your shorts, george watching your every move.
you got yourself comfortable on the bed and spread your legs, showing him just how how needy you were. a wet patch was visible on your underwear, having been turned on for way too long.
he bit his lip, hands moving up your legs until they reached your underwear, fingertips ghosting over your clit. "need me that bad huh?"
"so bad baby." you pleaded.
george gently circled your clit over your underwear a few more times before he hooked his thumbs into the waistband and pulled them down your legs. a gasp left your lips when his fingers ran through your folds, collecting your wetness and teasing your entrance.
"so wet for me. want my fingers baby?" you nodded your head, desperate to feel them inside you.
two fingers slipped inside you with ease and you cried out, the feeling almost overwhelming already. he moved up your body, hovering over you, pressing his lips against yours with a sense of urgency to try and muffle your moans, not knowing who was home.
"want you to cum on my fingers." he whispered in your ear and placed a soft kiss underneath it.
his fingers sped up, curling to hit the perfect spot inside you, thumb attaching to your clit once again. your breathing quickened and your back arched into his chest, feeling like your whole body was on fire.
"i'm gonna cum george. fuck." but he already knew, from the way you clenched around his fingers to the way your breathing sped up, he knew.
the coil in your stomach snapped and you choked out a moan and a cry of his name, george not even bothering to try and silence you.
as you calmed down, you were met with george grinning wide at you, trying to contain his laughter.
"what?" you breathed out, still struggling to catch your breath.
"you're loud." he chuckled.
"oh shut up," you covered your face with your hands, growing embarrassed, "don't laugh at me or i won't let you fuck me."
george has never shut up so fast in his life.
a/n i rewrote this so many times, i hope it’s okay for you lovely!! <3
the minute george stepped into the flat, he knew something was off.
"y/n? you here?" walking further into the flat, he found y/n in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea, "hey, sorry i'm back so late. we missed t-"
"don't. i can't believe you. all i asked was that you not plan to film today and i wake up to a message telling me you've gone to film a video for arthur. do you even know why i asked you to stay home today?"
he was trying to remember, really he was. but his mind was blank and the guilt began to seep in, only just noticing the tears that left stains on her cheeks.
"no. of course you don't. my parents are in town george. i planned a nice lunch, maybe go on a walk, come back to the flat for a few drinks, but all that went to shit because you left to film a stupid video and then ignored my messages all day. you know how important it is to me that you get along with my parents so having to cancel on them last minute because you weren't even here was not something i wanted to have to do." the tears in her eyes were threatening to fall again, hating how needy and pathetic she sounded.
"we can sti-" george tried, again quickly being shut down.
"no george, i'm mad at you. you don't get to say it'll be alright and that we can still do something. we're not playing happy families. you've hurt me. when we sort this out, then we organise something else."
now the guilt was in full swing and he immediately started to think of ways he could make it up to her, knowing it would take a lot of grovelling to get back onto her good side.
"i'm going to bed, i love you." a soft kiss being placed on his lips.
"i love you too." slight relief evident on his face, knowing she'll never not say 'i love you', even during an argument.
she rounded the kitchen island, starting to make her way to his room and get ready for bed. george watched as she closed the door, still stood in the kitchen, contemplating whether to follow her or give her some space.
he decided on the latter.
--------
it was nearing midnight when george decided he needed some sleep, and the dip in the bed as he got comfortable was enough to wake y/n, a groan leaving her lips.
"sorry. i didn't mean to wake you," she let out an agitated hum of acknowledgement and rolled over, curling into george's side, unable to resist the heat his body always provided, "still mad at me?"
"yep." she responded, accentuating the 'p'.
"okay. can we talk about it?"
"i've said my peace. you go."
"i really am sorry sweetheart, i feel awful," her nails were running along the lines and dips of his stomach, a habit he'd grown accustomed to over the several months they'd been together, "the video was planned ages ago and i didn't even realise the dates clashed. when you reminded me of 'that thing' that was happening today i thought you meant filming. i promise to make it up to you. and your parents. please say they don't hate me."
george hoped it was enough, not that he wouldn't do anything she asked to get her to forgive him, but he couldn't stand the thought of her staying mad at him.
in y/n's head, he was forgiven. during her time alone, she realised she didn't even give him a chance to explain before locking herself in his room for the rest of the night.
"i'm sorry too," george was slightly taken aback by this, unsure what she was apologising for, "i shouldn't have stormed off like that. not even letting you speak before i disappeared all night. and my parents don't hate you. we can do dinner tomorrow if that's okay with you?"
"that's more than okay. i have my whole day free to spend with you and them. we can do whatever you guys want. i love you."
"i love you. so much. even if you are forgetful."
and george stuck to his promise. safe to say y/n's parents like george more than her.
a/n have this as an 'i'm sorry i haven't posted in a while present' <3
hey guys!! sorry i’ve been MIA these past few weeks, i promise i’ll get some stuff out for you this week 🫶🏼
also came on here to say i don’t think i’ve ever been so obsessed with george than when he was in alex’s ‘we watch mtv’s catfish’ video wearing all grey 😍😍 (specifically 12:36-12:42 🤭)
inspired by this cute tiktok <3
you're a sleepy girl. everyone knows it. so when george came home after a day of filming a platform roulette and found you in his bed, snuggled under his duvet with some random film on in the background, he swore he'd never been more in love.
the way your hair splayed out behind you and chest slowly rising and falling with each breath, fighting to stay awake, wanting to wait for george to come home.
"hi my love." george grinned, seeing your sleepy smile and arms open wide, inviting him to cuddle you. "missed you."
making his way over to you, he sat on the bed and started playing with a piece of hair that had fallen in front of your face.
"missed you too. come to bed?" you looked up at him, giving him your puppy dog eyes as he stroked your cheek, eyes full of love.
he knew he had to shower and attempt some planning for his new video but he really couldn't resist when you looked so warm and cuddly, and it was no secret the more george drank, the more affectionate he was.
so without saying a word, he took his jumper and trousers off and climbed into bed.
"better?"
"better. i love you."
"i love you too gorgeous."
a/n i'm in love with this man so thought why not start writing for him? send requests for george please guys <3
go read this i’m SCREAMING. george clarkey lovers arise🤭🙏 and go follow @lunarwts rnn <3
george clarkey x fem! reader
a tiny headcanon of george and his need of physical touch (374 words)
hello!!! here's a little something i wrote on the train! let me know what you think - enjoy! 💗✨
okay so this man has always got to be touching you
or at least all up in your personal space
out in public he has his hand in yours, or around you shoulder, or holding your waist, or in your back pocket
even just linking your pinkys
and is. not. ashamed.
in private it’s even worse better
will just lay on top of you
head in your neck or on your chest and just has this cute little content smile on his face
staying at his place and having a movie night with the boys and them just looking at you two with disgust
(but also lowkey with adoration because they love that george is happy)
alex and arthur tease him by calling him cuddle bug
he pretends that it annoys him but he actually loves because it’s true
he is your cuddle bug 😌
his wallpaper is definitely a picture of you both during one of said movie nights that alex took of you cuddled up on the end of the couch with a bowl of popcorn and huge smiles on your faces
and in bed???
his hands are either on your hips, your boobs, in your hair, around your neck
HAND HOLDING! HAND HOLDING! 🥵
links his hands in yours on the pillow above your head and leans down to nip and whisper in your ear
anyways!
getting ready for bed and brushing your teeth, doing your skincare in the bathroom and in walks george
wraps his arms around your waist and rests his head on your shoulder while watching you in the mirror as if your hanging the stars in the sky
even though he’s seen you do this countless times
and then when you’re done he’ll grab your hand and walk you into bed
once you’re both under the covers he is pulling you straight into him
sometimes your head is on his chest, other times it’s tucked under his arm
his hands are around your waist while yours are either holding him or just resting on his chest
legs tangled together like a pretzel
and then you somehow wake up even closer
moral of the story;
if it was possible to get inside your skin, george would do it 😪🌷💛
The pub is packed, the kind of Friday night chaos that buzzes through your veins. You’re two drinks in maybe three and everything feels a little looser, a little lighter. George is only a few feet away, laughing with Chris and Arthur Hill, head thrown back and curls bouncing with every laugh. His hand wraps around his pint like it’s second nature, and he looks good unfairly good. Like he always does when he doesn’t even try.
You’re mid-conversation with a guy who’s definitely not from your usual circle. Someone someone brought along. He’s leaning in close, a little too close, saying something flirty, eyes lingering. His hand rests lightly on your thigh under the table a move you notice but don’t immediately shut down, partly because it feels like a petty test and partly because you’re a little tipsy and riding the buzz.
You catch George looking over. Correction: staring. His expression is unreadable, but the tension in his jaw is sharp as glass.
A minute later, he’s beside you. No warning. Just suddenly there, thigh pressed tight against yours, his arm tossed across the back of the booth so it brushes your shoulders. His presence is hot and grounding and just a little territorial.
The guy tries to keep talking to you, but George cuts in smooth, low voice. “Didn’t realise we were inviting strangers tonight.”
You snort into your drink. “He’s not really a stranger”
George’s eyes flick to the guy’s hand, still too familiar on your leg. “He’s not your boyfriend either.”
The guy looks taken aback. You, however, feel like your skin’s on fire.
“Alright, man,” the guy says, standing. “Didn’t mean to cause drama.”
“Yeah,” George mutters, “maybe find someone else’s date to flirt with.”
Your heart skips.
Once the guy’s gone, George doesn’t move away. If anything, he gets closer.
“You’re not my date,” you say, half-daring, half-breathless.
George turns to you, eyes dark. “You should be.”
His hand slides down not overtly, just resting on your bare knee under the table, fingers brushing the hem of your skirt. It’s nothing overt in the grand scheme, but it makes your stomach flip.
“You jealous, Clark?” you ask, voice teasing, but your heart’s pounding like mad.
He leans in, so close you can feel the heat of his breath against your ear. “I didn’t like seeing his hands on you. Because I’ve been dying to touch you like that for months.”
You swallow hard, cheeks flushed. “Then why haven’t you?”
He looks at you like he’s already undressing you with his eyes, but there’s something softer under it too. “Because you’re my best friend. Because I didn’t want to fuck it up. But seeing you like that tonight laughing, tipsy, letting him get close I realised I’d rather risk everything than let someone else think they’ve got a chance.”
You don’t think. You just grab his shirt and pull him in, lips colliding with his in a kiss that’s all heat and want and months of unspoken tension finally breaking. He kisses you like he means it hand sliding up your thigh, other curling into your hair, anchoring you to him like he’s scared you’ll disappear.
When you finally pull away, breathless, his forehead rests against yours.
“Tell me that wasn’t just the drinks talking,” he whispers.
You smile, brushing your thumb across his jaw. “Nope. That was all me. Sober enough to know I’ve wanted this longer than I’ll ever admit.”
His grin is cocky now, pure George. “Reckon we should get out of here before I kiss you again in front of the entire pub.”
You pretend to think. “Might not be a bad idea.”
George’s hand slips into yours under the table, fingers interlocking, possessive and sure. As you leave the pub together, his hand stays firmly on you like a promise.
And this time, you’re not going to stop him.
