K is big but clingy. you’re at your desk, halfway through answering emails, when the door opens. he doesn’t say anything—he just turns your chair around, climbs straight into your lap, and wraps himself around you like a giant koala. his long legs dangle off the sides, arms looped around your neck, face buried in your shoulder.
“mm i’m charging…” he mumbles, voice already sleepy.
every time you reach for your phone he lets out the most dramatic, wounded sigh until you give up and hug him back. within minutes he’s out cold, breathing slow and steady against your skin, completely content to stay right there for as long as you’ll let him.
FUMA strides in when you are folding laundry, he doesn’t say anything at first—he just tosses you over his shoulder with zero effort and drops you onto the mattress. you expect him to follow with something else, but instead he grabs his switch from the nightstand, climbs onto the bed, and pulls you so your back is flush against his chest.
he rests his chin on your shoulder, wraps one strong arm around your waist, and boots up pokémon with the other.
“i missed you,” he mumbles against your ear, voice low and soft. “you’ve been working too hard. let’s just stay like this for a while, yeah?”
he starts playing, occasionally turning his head to press a kiss to your cheek or temple whenever he catches something he likes. every now and then he tilts the screen toward you and quietly asks, “should i evolve this one?” his big frame completely surrounds you, warm and steady, while he plays.
EJ comes home when you're reading in bed. he changes into comfy clothes and joins you without disturbing your book. instead he gently lifts your shirt just enough to rest his cheek on your bare stomach, arms wrapping around your hips.
“don’t stop reading,” he says quietly, eyes already closing. every so often he turns his head to press a feather-light kiss to your skin, then settles again with a tiny contented sigh. the steady sound of your breathing and the warmth of your body is all he needs after a long day.
NICHOLAS doesn’t say a word. he just climbs onto the bed and carefully lays himself right on top of you, his full weight pressing you gently into the mattress. his chin rests on your shoulder, arms sliding underneath you so he can hold you from below.
“stay still,” he murmurs against your ear, voice low and a little sleepy. you can feel how tense he was earlier slowly melting away the longer he stays like this. every so often he turns his head to press a soft kiss to your cheek or the side of your neck. he doesn’t move for a long time—just breathes you in, completely content to have you trapped sweetly beneath him.
JO comes up behind you and rests his chin on the very top of your head, long arms sliding around your waist. he doesn’t say anything at first—just sways you both gently from side to side.
after a minute he mumbles, almost shyly, “you fit right here…” his hold tightens just a little, and you feel him smile against your hair. he stays like that until you’re both swaying in comfortable silence.
YUMA suddenly drops down, laying his head in your lap sideways whilst you’re sitting on the floor against the couch playing a game on your phone—his cheek squished against your thigh.
he grabs your free hand and places it on his head.
“pet me,” he demands cutely. you start running your fingers through his hair and within seconds he’s making actual little purring sounds, feet kicking happily behind him. every time your hand slows down he lets out a tiny whine and nuzzles closer, completely blissed out in your lap.
HARUA suddenly appears in front of you. he tilts his head cutely, puffs out his cheeks, and does a little aegyo pose with his hands near his face.
“harua’s been ignored for too long~” he whines in the sweetest voice, eyes sparkling with mischief.
the moment you cringe slightly and laugh but still reach for him, his whole expression changes. he doesn’t hesitate—he climbs straight into your lap, wraps his arms and legs around you like an octopus, and buries his face in your neck with a happy little noise. he stays glued to you after that, occasionally pulling back just enough to look at you with big shiny eyes before nuzzling right back in. every few minutes he presses a tiny kiss to your neck or jaw, refusing to let go even a little.
TAKI climbs up on the bed, you are laid back scrolling on your phone. he shifts himself so he’s on his stomach—head between your thighs.your brain short-circuits for a second—until he pulls out his switch and looks up at you with big, innocent eyes.
“squeeze?” he asks sweetly.
you laugh and gently press your thighs together around his head. he lets out the happiest little noise and starts his game, completely relaxed, occasionally reaching up to pat your knee like a thank-you. he stays there for over an hour, perfectly content in his favorite spot.
MAKI bursts into the room with energy, then immediately softens when he sees you scrolling on your phone in bed. he launches himself onto the mattress, lands with a soft bounce. immediately resting his head in your lap and wrapping his arms around your hips like he’s been waiting all day to do this.
he looks up at you with those big, sparkly eyes and smiles widely.
“hi baby,” he says, looking up at you with sparkly eyes.
he spends the next hour telling you every single thing that happened in his day whilst you play with his hair. every so often he pauses mid-story, lifts his head just enough to press a soft kiss to your wrist or the fabric over your stomach, then drops right back down and continues talking like nothing happened.

KOGA YUDAI
k had you on your back, legs folded against your chest, fucking you in deep, measured strokes that made the headboard knock against the wall. he was so big that it always felt like too much and not enough at the same time. one particular angle had him grinding right against that spongy spot inside you with every thrust.
your moans pitched higher as k’s hand slid between you, thumb circling your clit. “that’s it, pretty. let me feel you.”
the pressure built fast—too fast. your whole body seized. a sudden, hot rush exploded out of you, soaking his lower stomach and the sheets beneath. k froze mid-thrust, eyes wide, then groaned like he’d been punched.
“oh god—” you gasped, still shaking.
“fuck—did you just—?” he pulled out halfway and watched another gush pulse around his cock. the sight snapped something in him. he slammed back in, fucking you through the aftershocks, voice wrecked. “again. do it again for me.”
MURATA FUMA
fuma had you riding him slow, his big hands guiding your hips in lazy circles. he liked watching your face when you took all of him. you were already shaking from how deep he was when he suddenly planted his feet and thrust up hard.
the change in angle punched a broken sound out of you. your thighs clamped around his waist as clear liquid sprayed across his abs and chest. fuma’s mouth fell open. he didn’t stop moving—just slowed down, grinding you through it while he stared at the mess you’d made on him.
“baby…” his voice was hoarse. one hand slid up your spine, pulling you down so he could kiss you messy and deep. “you squirted for me?” he sounded almost in awe. “god—gonna make you do that again—so fucking pretty—”
then he rolled you onto your back and started fucking you again, slower, deeper, chasing every aftershock.
WANG YIXIANG
nicholas had been edging you for almost an hour—fingers, tongue, the head of his cock rubbing against your entrance but never pushing in. when he finally sank into you in one smooth thrust, your body gave up.
you came so hard you squirted around him, the sudden rush making a filthy wet sound as it soaked the towel he’d smartly put down. nicholas let out a low, filthy laugh against your neck.
“oh my god, you’re actually squirting.” he sounded delighted. he pulled out just to watch it happen again, then pushed back in and started fucking you with short, sharp thrusts that kept milking more out of you. “look at the mess you’re making. my pretty girl’s pussy just couldn’t hold it anymore.”
BYUN EUIJOO
you were on top, riding him in messy, desperate rolls of your hips. ej’s hands were on your ass, helping you bounce. he was so deep you could feel him in your stomach. one particularly hard drop had his cock kissing your cervix and his balls pressed tight against you.
the orgasm hit like a truck. you squirted hard, the hot rush pouring directly over his balls and down his thighs. ej’s eyes flew open. his hips jerked up involuntarily and he came with a broken moan, painting your insides while you were still pulsing around him.
he stayed buried deep, breathing hard, staring at where you were still dripping down his balls. “you… you just squirted on me.” his voice cracked. he sounded destroyed in the best way. he kept you seated on his cock, gently rocking you through the aftershocks, whispering how pretty you look as your body continued to tremble.
ASAKURA JO
jo had you on your back, fucking you with long, deep strokes. he was quiet but intense, one hand fisting the sheets beside your head, the other gripping at your hip. you’d already came twice as prep, so as he gave a particularly hard thrust into your heat—your whole body locked up.
you squirted hard, the sudden gush soaking the sheets beneath and coating his thighs. jo went completely still.
“…did you just pee?” he asked, voice small and horrified.
you were still twitching, trying to explain between gasps, but jo was already pulling out, flustered and red-faced. then he saw the clear liquid, smelled the faint sweet scent, and realized. his ears went even redder.
“oh my god. you—you squirted.” he sounded equal parts embarrassed and turned on. but he didn’t stop,
NAKAKITA YUMA
yuma had you bent over the edge of the bed, one hand gripping the your hair while he fucked into you with sharp, deep strokes. he was quiet for once but it was because he was focused, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the room. one particularly hard thrust angled just right and your whole body locked up without warning.
a sudden, hot gush of liquid sprayed out around his cock, soaking his thighs and dripping onto the floor. yuma’s hips jerked to a stop for half a second—then a low, cocky laugh rumbled out of his chest.
“thereeeee we go—” he pulled out halfway, watching another pulse of clear fluid leak down your thighs. his grip on your hair tightened as he tilted his head, smirking at the mess. “didn’t even have to try and you’re squirting all over me. good girl. lemme see you do it again—”
SHIGETA HARUA
harua had you on your back, thrusting into you in deep, measured rolls of his hips. he was watching your face the entire time, eyes sharp and focused. when he shifted his angle and ground in hard, your back arched sharply off the bed.
clear liquid suddenly burst out of you in a strong spray, splashing across his lower stomach and running down his thighs. harua froze completely, eyes going wide as he looked down at the mess you’d made on him.
he didn’t speak for a second. just stared, breathing hard, like he couldn’t process what just happened. then his gaze flicked up to your face, still wide with shock.
“you squirted…” his voice came out soft and almost disbelieving. he stayed buried deep, not moving, just feeling the way you were still fluttering around him. a slow, stunned smile eventually tugged at his lips. “i made you do that. oh my god… you’re so pretty like this.”
TAKAYAMA RIKI
taki had you face down, ass up as he humped at you with desperate, face-paced thrusts. he was moaning and panting behind you, completely lost in the rhythm, hips snapping fast and messy. your lower half suddenly lifted and shook hard beneath him.
your broken noise muffled by the pillow as a hot rush of liquid suddenly sprayed out around his cock, soaking his thighs and the sheets. taki froze mid-thrust, eyes wide as he stared down at the mess.
“oh god—did you just—” his voice cracked, the words dying in his throat as he watched another small gush drip down your thighs. he stayed completely still, breathing hard, like he couldn’t process what just happened.
“you… you squirted,” he finally managed, voice soft and genuinely awed. his eyes stayed wide, mesmerized by the shiny mess coating his skin and the sheets. he slowly pushed back in still staring as you gushed and clenched around him—soft whimpers escaping from your muffled mouth. “i didn’t know you could do that—but now that i do—i wanna see it again…please?”
MAUSS RIKI
maki had you on your back with your thighs pushed up and spread wide, ankles hooked over his shoulders as he fucked into you with fast, eager strokes. he was so vocal—panting, moaning your name, babbling praise every time you clenched around him. the angle was brutal in the best way, the head of his cock dragging right over that spot with every snap of his hips.
“feels so good—fuck, you’re so wet for me—” he groaned, voice cracking.
the pressure crested too fast. your whole body seized and a sudden, hot gush burst out of you, soaking his stomach and cock in a clear rush that splattered between you. maki choked on a moan, hips stuttering to a halt as he stared down at the mess with huge eyes.
“you—you just squirted?” he whispered, cheeks burning red, but his cock twitched hard inside you. a shaky, almost boyish laugh escaped him. “holyyy shit… that was fucking hot. do it again—please? i wanna feel you do it again—”
he pulled out just enough to watch another trickle leak out, then slammed back in, fucking you through the aftershocks with desperate, shallow thrusts, moaning loudly every time you pulsed and gushed around him.

meet the infamous vampire brothers, everyone knows as james and maki. lucky you get to know them more personally.
warnings: fluff + nsfw. mdni. — afab!reader… maki has a tongue piercing, james has an eyebrow piercing, nightclub setting, mentions of dates and weird date locations, petnames (darling, my love, doll, human) heavy makeouts, detailed descriptions of human anatomy, romantic vampire! james, flamboyant wild vampire!maki, mentions of blood drinking/sucking & teeth/fangs, they both want reader (????), sex positions, slight temperature play, vampire munches mentioned, etc etc… >.<
sticky note: adding onto this previous post… ask and u shall receive!! emptied out my brain and dumped it on here with this au… hope u all like itttt ૮ ྀིᴗ͈ . ᴗ͈ ྀིა
vampire!maki, the younger brother. who’s the one you first meet at a nightclub, pulls you into his lap and offers a sip from his own glass while promising he won’t bite when you’re a bit reluctant… he is cute though, so you stay the the whole night until you can’t handle the liquor he ends up pouring into your mouth.
vampire!maki, who was close to ripping out his undead heart from nerves when he told you what he really was after a couple of hang outs together, almost shedding tears of blood when you shrugged it off saying you already knew. he was too cold, too pale to even pass as human, and he wasn’t slick with the way he’d sniff so intently at your neck.
vampire!maki, who lives a wild, more glamorously loud life compared to his brother who is still always in the same function but sitting silently at the other end of the couch, eyeing people over the dark colored glass stuck to his purplish lips.
vampire!maki, who’s more loud with his infatuation; showing you off and constantly yapping to his friends about you, getting you the most random gifts at horrible times of the dead night, making out with you whenever and whenever the carnal hunger overtakes his other senses.
vampire!maki, who takes you out in the most unconventional places for just a fun night, but still makes it so thrilling by showing how he basically lives his lifestyle as a vampire (a butcher shop, or in an abandoned church, or in a snowy cemetery).
vampire!maki, who makes feeding more of a playful mess full of eroticism, he can’t help it. your blood smells so good, taste even better on his pierced tongue, has to share it with you in a fit of giggles while he pushes your own thick crimson blood into your own mouth in a messy, heated kisses.
vampire!james, the older brother. who keeps his eye on you since the moment in the nightclub.. until the time is right, meeting you in the kitchen of his one late night when you both grab a drink. catches your eye with his sunken, tired gaze and sharp pierced eyebrows, that one bandaid always placed on the sharp edge of his cheekbone, he ruffles his blond hair that reminds you so much of your other lover… his brother.
vampire!james, who stalks how you move in the dance floor with maki with another person already attached to his own hip, accidentally piercing his bottom lip when he sees you take maki’s large glasses off his face and slide them on as maki’s hands pull your hips closer towards his own.
vampire!james, who’s infatuation is more alluring with his mysterious yet flirty approach, quietly looming and smiling only when you’re both enclosed in an intimate space. he doesn’t care to show his retracted canines, or the blood staining his teeth and lips when he pulls away from his favorite drink.
vampire!james, who’s says he wants to show you something, grabs you by the hand and takes you to the most breathtaking places just to watch your enthusiasm with a glint of endearment in his darkened eyes (the rooftop of a cathedral, libraries after closing or opera theatres).
vampire!james, who always makes sure he’s leading his meal out the nightclub before the night ends.. but hasn’t feed every since he met you because he’s the type to starve himself just so he can have the full natural taste of your blood ever since he smelled it up close.
vampire!james, who makes feeding more of a sacred ritual, planting gentle slow kisses and littering them with light grazes of his canines as he gently but firmly grips your hair to crane your neck for his sharp teeth. licks over the wound with such reverent and kisses you deeply, uttering soft phrases of his gratitude.
— nsfw below!! ꜜ ꜜ
vampire!maki, who because has ventured long enough in the world to not give a fuck about unwritten human society rules, would take you anywhere and everywhere and let people join in (only if you want to) but god forbid somebody asks for a tiny taste of your neck. “oh? i heard your heart beat faster.. what? you getting excited about him joining, human?”
vampire!james, who dislikes just even the idea of sharing you, very possessive and always devoured you whole until you’re left only remembered the feeling of him deep inside you or the gentle whispers he left in your burned red ears as he nips gently. “can’t believe he would share this delicacy. you’re mine when you’re with me, you got that?”
vampire!maki, who loves when you flinch at the initial touch of his cold fingertips against your warm sex, giggling between words: “oh you poor doll. already trembling for me? all i did was touch her..” unlike his brother..
vampire!james, who instead sucks the shocked gasp from your parted lips and murmurs gently in your mouth, “shhh, my love. i promise i’ll warm up to you soon, share your warmth with me.”
vampire!maki, who’s favorite position is between your thighs. best place to feed right on your femoral vein, watching your panties get soaked right in front of his hazy reddened eyes the more he sucks and the more you pull straight on the roots of his bright blond hair. caught in the dilemma of what do to first: eating you out or actually feed. “god, please let me eat you a bit more.”
vampire!james, who’s favorite position is folding you in his arms, mating press. sharp nose pressed against your scm muscle, sinking underneath skin right when your soft walls grow tight enough and hands grip hard enough on his blond spiky hair to bring him over the edge. almost tears through his burgundy silk sheets with how bad his grip gets and his restraint loosens. “you’re perfect, my darling. take all of me.”
vampire!maki, who loves when you bite him back and giggles and moans loudly as you bite around his pecs and by his hips. absolute freak that loves to smother your blood all over his face because those burgundy stained glasses are for james, he drinks unconventionally.
vampire!james, who essentially growls and smiles when you nip down on his finger knuckles after he pressed them into your mouth. psychological play.. pricks his fingertip with his own fang and lets you suck out your own blood that’s running in his body through his fingertip.
vampire brothers!maki and james, who love you and your body like that exact moment would be the last night ever in your life and utters through your mind in such a deep, lovely tone, “my brother could never love you like this. exactly how i’m loving you right now.”
you major in art and bsf nicho volunteered to be your naked model 🥴
【 18+ 】 tw ──── bsf!nicholas. . not extremely explict, no explict smut, lots of tension, making out, brief touches. | don't copy/translate my work. i only write on tumblr.
the studio lights were too warm. or maybe it was just you.
your tiny off-campus apartment had been turned into a makeshift figure-drawing space—drop cloth taped across the floor, easel angled toward the best natural light from the window, charcoal already smudged on your fingers even though you hadn’t started yet. your final project was breathing down your neck, and the department’s usual models were booked solid. you’d been complaining about it for days.
nicholas had listened, then shrugged like it was nothing.
“i’ll do it.”
you’d nearly dropped your coffee. “nicho, you’re my best friend. i’m not drawing you naked.”
“why not?” that lazy, devastating smirk. “i’ve got a decent body. you need a decent body to draw. problem solved.”
you’d fought him on it for twenty minutes. he’d fought back with that quiet, steady patience he always had when he decided something mattered to you. in the end, you caved.
now he was here.
he stood in the middle of the drop cloth in a black t-shirt and grey joggers, barefoot, hair still a little messy from the wind outside. he looked at your setup, then at you, and raised an eyebrow.
“you gonna tell me how you want me, or…?”
your mouth was dry. “just… get comfortable. whatever pose feels natural. i’ll adjust if i need to.”
he nodded once. then he reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head in one smooth motion.
your brain short-circuited.
nicholas had always been attractive—tall, lean muscle from years of casual basketball and the occasional gym phase, sharp jaw, dark eyes that could go from sweet to intense in half a second. but seeing him like this, all at once, was different. his chest was smooth, sharp v line disappearing beneath his waistband. shoulders broad, waist narrow, scar shining prettily in the light.
he didn’t hesitate. thumbs hooked into the joggers and boxers together, and he pushed them down.
your gaze followed helplessly.
he was already half-hard. thick, flushed at the head, resting heavy against his thigh. the sight made heat flood between your legs so fast it almost made you dizzy.
nicholas stepped out of the clothes and kicked them aside. he didn’t cover himself. just stood there, weight shifted onto one leg, one hand resting loosely on his hip, watching you watch him.
“well?” his voice came out lower than usual. “pose okay?”
you swallowed. “yeah. yeah, that’s… good. stay like that for a minute while i block in the figure.”
you picked up the charcoal with fingers that definitely weren’t steady and started laying down the first broad strokes. the long line of his spine. the curve of his ass. the powerful sweep of his thighs. you tried to focus on anatomy, on proportion, on the way the light hit the planes of his stomach.
but your eyes kept drifting lower.
every few seconds his cock would twitch, thickening a little more under your scrutiny. by the time you’d roughed in his torso and were working on the hips, he was fully hard—thick and flushed dark, curving slightly upward, a bead of precum catching the light at the tip.
“sorry,” he muttered, ears pink. “i’m still a guy—plus you’re staring at me pretty intensely.”
you forced yourself to keep drawing, even though your lines were getting shaky. “that’s kind of the point of a figure study.”
he let out a quiet breath that might’ve been a laugh. “right.”
you worked in silence for a while. the only sounds were the scratch of charcoal and the occasional shift of nicholas adjusting his weight. every time he moved, even slightly, you noticed new things—the way the lamplight caught the scar on his arm, the faint trail of hair leading down from his navel, the way his cock bobbed when he breathed a little deeper.
your thighs pressed together without you meaning to.
after what felt like forever, your wrist started to ache from how tightly you were gripping the charcoal.
“can you sit?” you asked, voice a little hoarse. “on the bench. i want to try a different angle.”
nicholas moved without complaint. he sat on the wooden bench, thighs spread just enough for balance, one forearm resting on the oak. he leaned back just a bit—his cock now rested against his stomach, heavy and flushed. he looked at you steadily, like he was waiting for your next instruction.
you stepped closer to adjust the angle of his shoulders. your fingers brushed warm skin. he didn’t flinch, but you felt the way his breath caught, just barely.
“like this?” he asked quietly.
you nodded. your hand lingered a second too long on his bicep before you pulled away.
you went back to the easel and started a new page. this angle was worse. you could see everything—the curve of his cock, the way it twitched every time you looked at it too long, the veins that pulsed when he shifted. every time you glanced down to check proportions, your stomach tightened.
ten more minutes passed.
nicholas watched you the entire time. not in a creepy way—just steady. patient. like he had all night.
“you’re quiet,” he said eventually.
“i’m concentrating.”
“on the drawing? or on me?”
you didn’t answer. your hand was shaking again.
another long silence. then, softer:
“you can touch me if you need to,” he said. “for the pose. or… whatever.”
your charcoal paused mid-stroke.
nicholas’s ears were still pink, but his voice was steady. “i trust you. if you need to move my arm or my leg or… anything. just do it.”
you set the charcoal down slowly.
walked over to him.
he looked up at you from the stool, dark eyes unreadable. his cock was still hard, still leaking, resting against his stomach. he didn’t try to hide it.
you reached out and gently took his wrist, repositioning his arm the way you wanted it. your fingers stayed on his skin longer than necessary. nicholas’s pulse jumped under your thumb.
you moved to his leg next, lightly touching his knee to nudge it a fraction wider. the movement made his cock shift, another drop of precum beading at the tip.
neither of you spoke.
you could feel the heat radiating off his body. could smell the faint trace of his cologne mixed with something warmer, more intimate.
your hand hovered near his thigh—fingers lingering a bit too long.
nicholas’s voice was rough when he finally spoke.
“if you keep touching me like that,” he huffed quietly, “i’m not going to be able to pretend this is just for the drawing much longer.”
you looked at him.
his eyes were darker than you’d ever seen them. his jaw was tight. but he still didn’t move. still gave you every chance to pull away.
your fingers brushed his v-line, feather-light. almost teasing.
“maybe i don’t want you to pretend anymore,” you whispered.
nicholas let out a shaky breath.
then he reached up, slow enough that you could stop him if you wanted, and cupped your face with one warm hand.
“come here,” he said softly.
you stepped between his spread thighs.
the kiss was careful at first—almost hesitant. like both of you were still afraid of breaking something fragile. his lips were warm, a little chapped. his thumb stroked your cheek as he kissed you, slow and deep and aching.
when you finally pulled back, both of you were breathing harder.
nicholas rested his forehead against yours, eyes closed.
“i’ve wanted to do that for a really long time,” he admitted, voice low. “i just didn’t want to ruin us.”
you swallowed. “you’re not ruining anything.”
he kissed you again, deeper this time. one hand stayed on your face while the other slid down to your waist, pulling you closer until you were pressed against his chest. his cock was trapped between you, hot and throbbing against your stomach through your clothes.
you reached down and wrapped your hand around him.
nicholas groaned into your mouth, hips twitching.
“fuck—baby—”
you stroked him slowly, thumb circling the head, spreading the precum. he was so thick in your hand, so hard it had to ache. he buried his face in your neck and just breathed for a few seconds, like he was trying to hold himself together.
“i’ve thought about this,” he whispered against your skin. “more times than i should admit.”
you squeezed him gently. “show me. what else you've thought about”
he pulled back just enough to look at you, eyes blown wide and dark. then he stood, crowding you backward until your calves hit the edge of the old couch.
"you have no clue what you are about to get yourself into, pretty girl."

✩ Somehow, Riki feels more awake after pulling out than he did before. Maybe it's the dopamine rush, or maybe he's just a little strange in that way; either way, you're getting pulled on top of him so he can cuddle the shit out of you. You fall asleep almost immediately...you can't help it! He's warm and strong — a dangerous combo.
B = Body part (their favorite on themselves and you):
✩ Please. We all know he's proud of his arms, and he should be. The definition...fuck. He knows you go feral for them, and who is he to deny you? Holds you down easily, gently manhandles you if you're losing your sense of direction, holds you tight after you're both spent (I'm fucking melting writing this omfg). Purposefully wears tighter shirts to tease you, and yes — he likes it when you playfully bite him. He'd like you to do it more, actually.
✩ ...How is this a question? THIGH AND HIP MAN RIGHT HERE!! We all know it; he's not subtle with the fucking tracing thing he likes to do. He loves to hold you by your hips in public, just squeezing their plush mindlessly while he eavesdrops on other conversations. Also likes to do the same in private — holds your hips still while he fucks into you, because he wants to be the one doing the work. Also, crush him with your thighs. Please. Do it. He wants it. He wants to suffocate. Bring him to the brink of death; it'd be a wonderful way to go.
C = Cum (...self-explanatory):
✩ So, to continue, he loves to watch your combined releases drip onto your thighs. It's dirty, and it might make you feel a little grossed out sometimes, but he's absolutely mesmerized. He gets his favorite view (thighs) plus the straight erotica of knowing that you're his, and he's yours.
D = Dirty secret (what might they be keeping from you?):
✩ He'd never admit it, but sometimes when he's alone, he comes completely untouched just by thinking about you. In a hotel somewhere across the globe, he's remembering how good it feels to have you under him, whining for him and grabbing him...and, oh. He busts and goes red from embarrassment. He's generally shameless in his intimacy with you, but he just feels pathetic.
E = Experience (how experienced are they?):
✩ Like I said with Taki, bro was training to be an idol when he was a fetus. He's a horny little mf now, but I doubt he's actually been with anyone.
F = Favorite position (speaks for itself):
✩ Classic missionary fella here. He wants to see you and the expressions you make when he hits your sweet spot, and it's all too easy for you to wrap your thighs around his waist. In some cases, this evolves into a mating press, and you're completely trapped under him with your legs hooked over his shoulders. It makes no difference to him — as long as you squeeze around him, he's happy.
✩ I'd be remiss if I didn't say he likes to bend you over random places — namely couches and counters. You've done the deed too many times in your bathroom, bent over your sink with your feet barely touching the ground. He's got good access to your ass and hips, and hitting from the back just hits different on some days. Be careful picking stuff up around him; if you bend over too far, he might be snatching you up and hiding you away for a good ten-minute quickie.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.):
✩ Mr. Chalant here is more soft than anything else, probably pretty cocky, but it's Maki at the end of the day. He likes to be silly, and it's rare that he's not grinning around you. Sex, at the end of the day, is fun to him, so you know he'll just be as happy as a clam all throughout.
H = Hair (how well-groomed are they?):
✩ Uh. Well. I uh. Heh. He likes to clean — he keeps it neat. (I'm sorry. If I tried to write this in full, I'd lose it. I'm already drooling.)
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect):
✩ SOFT BOY!! LOVER BOY!! I know a lot of us like to think he's more teasing and condescending than anything, but I just can't see past him being an absolute lovesick fool. He lives for the gentle touches and eyes full of tears of joy. He loves to show his love for you physically, and what's more physical than sex? Holds you close after and just kisses you breathless.
J = Jack-off (a masturbation headcanon):
✩ It stays in the shower, mostly, just for convenience (and cleanliness). He's terrified you'll find out that he uses your body wash sometimes, rather than water or spit — sue him! It smells good, and he just loves your scent. He has to be careful, though. If he does it too much, he'll pop a boner just by walking by you and catching the scent of your hair.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks):
✩ I'm 97% sure he's a service top. I mean, look at him. He wants to feel needed; it fulfills this urge in him that he can't wrap his head around. It makes him feel important when you beg for him or tell him you're needy, and he gets cocky knowing that he's the only one who can make you feel that way. Whether you're older or younger than him, you're his, and he wants to be able to make you feel loved.
✩ I debated between a couple, but I think he's really into overstimulation, and it goes both ways. There's something about cumming so hard and losing your vision, and then going further, that really strikes him. It's absolutely intoxicating, and it kind of hurts sometimes, but he enjoys it. Especially when you get even whinier and lose control of your body, so he has to really hold you down to make sure you can't fall off the bed or jerk out of his grasp...phew.
L = Location (favorite spots to get off):
✩ I honestly think he's down for anywhere, but he'd rather wait until you're home. It's just the most convenient and comfortable. However, that doesn't mean you've never gotten it on in the car or backstage somewhere; he just has to be more careful there.
M = Motivation (what gets them going?):
✩ Another guy who's always up and at the ready. To be specific, though: Outfits that really show off your figure, when you hold onto him/his arms, when you get frustrated (will elaborate later), and when you make him feel needed.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
✩ He's not hurting you. Sorry, but no. He's too drunk in love to ever try anything that might cause you pain. If anything, I think he's very aware of his strength and is always careful when maneuvering you just so you're not pulled around too roughly (unless you beg for it. Even then, he's still holding back.)
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
✩ MUNCH OF THE YEAR. Give it to him anywhere, any time, and position. I think he likes oral more than penetration, actually, and it's hard to say who enjoys it more — him or you. He just loooooves to eat it and cums just from fucking you with his tongue. Also, wbk: King of face-sitting. He wants you to plop your cute ass on his face, and if you even try to hover, he's locking your arms around your hips and pulling you down, holding you against his relentless mouth. He'll keep at it for hours if you'll let him, and he's real messy with it. If his face isn't drenched and you're not on the verge of unconsciousness, he's not done.
✩ He does have a soft spot for receiving, though, and it's probably one of the only times you'll ever hear him whimper. He knows he's big, and he doesn't expect you to take all of him — so you have to take him by surprise and let him hit the back of your throat. He's a little unsure, a little impressed, and a little intimidated...but who doesn't like a nervous man?
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.):
✩ Another man who is completely capable of both, but he does prefer it a little harder 🤭 Slow nights are reserved for when you’re feeling sappy. When either of you are needy, or just in the mood to fuck, Maki is eager; plus, he’s hyper as hell. Let him drill you pls 🙏
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.):
✩ Is totally down for them any time and any place, as long as you can’t get caught. They’re the best when you’re expecting company, or when you just need to let off a little steam. Either way, don’t be surprised when he drags you away to eat you out sloppy style.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.):
✩ Riki’s pretty chill, so why not? As long as it’s not crossing his own boundaries or hurting the both of you, he’s down. Like I said for Q, he’s all for trying to give you head as fast as possible before you have to go out before people start asking questions.
✩ S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?):
✩ Oh, boy. Hyper boy pt. 2. The longest the two of you have ever gone was…get ready….five rounds — with breaks, of course. He just gets so lost in the sauce that he can’t find a reason to completely stop. Half the time, honestly, you’re starting it by clenching around him so tightly that he chokes (maybe intentionally, maybe not). He’s just got a lot of energy and a lot of love…let him give it to you!
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?):
✩ He’s not really a fan, honestly. Why use silicone when you’ve got him? I highkey think he’s the type to get jealous of a vibrator if he finds out that you use one when he’s not home.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease):
✩ RUDE WITH A CAPITAL R. Listen, I know I said he’s a softie, but we’re still talking about Maki. He likes to tease, push, and pull. He likes to make you needy for him and then wonder aloud what you could possibly want. The only way to react is to give it right back to him — rile him up and watch his brain fucking melt. He’ll give in eventually, right?
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.):
✩ In the beginning, he’s self-conscious. No one wants to hear a dude whining during sex, right? WRONG!! You want to hear him, and you tell him so. Therefore, he loosens up a little: Grunts when he’s thrusting into you, moans when he goes down on you, and cute whimpers when you go down on him — pup style.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character):
✩ Maki is one of those little shits who intentionally pisses you off so you can yell at him. He gets so bricked up when you tell him off that it becomes painful. He just stands there and tries not to smile before enveloping you in a hug, cooing in your ear about how he’s sorry, and he’s just so mean. How can he make it up to you? Can you sit on his face and use him until you’re not mad anymore? Can he fuck the anger out of you? He promises not to pull any fast ones (lie).
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes):
✩ Well. He’s tall, jacked, and half-European….he’s hung. Real hung.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?):
✩ Probably one of the horniest of the Teamies, next to Yudai and Yuma. He’s always ready to go, and goes for as long as he can physically. If you get fatigued easily, perhaps consider starting on a vitamin.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards):
✩ Not as quick as you’d think! He’s more awake than asleep, and he just lies awake at night, watching you dream. His thoughts become very introspective, and while you sleep, he just smiles up at the ceiling. He’s so lucky to be in love with you.
chan’s hips have been snapping against yours for the latter half of the hour tonight. really, you shouldn’t have done what you did. it was a quick, off handed, self deprecating remark about yourself, and just like that, chan had enough.
he was already feeling on edge from the studio. and now he felt like he failed you to not reassure you enough. that’s how you got yourself here.
you can’t apologize. not because you’re being a brat or doing anything on purpose, but rather because chan has you laid prone on your stomach as his hips feverishly snap against your ass. making it quite literally impossible to reply outside of breathy moans being punched from your lungs. repeated motions that have had you crying into the pillow your face is sunken into.
“c’mon baby, you can do it… say “i’m sorry channie”… f-fuckin’ hell!”
chan’s body slowly comes down onto yours, his chest flush against your back as his arms ensnare around your shoulder. his head drops to the back of yours, his voice a low rasp of heavy breathing. his hips slow to grind against the plush of your ass, rocking and rutting into the wetness of your arousal. his panting turns into a low growl at your refusal.
“pretty girl… sweet baby, say it. say it and i’ll make you cum so good.”
meanwhile, you’re just a mess under him. head turned slightly as his bicep wraps under your chin, hands clawing at his strong arms. eyes bleary and wet with tears from how good it feels every time he quickly bottoms out and fills you so right. the sounds are obscene, salacious squelches as he drags every drop out of you. and you’ll do just the same to him if you keep fluttering around him like that.
“‘m s-sorry, cha— haah— channie! it feels so good, so good, please don’t stop!”
chan smiles to himself as he drags out a moan from his chest, laughing in a way that pinches off at the end in a high whine. his brows furrow and eyes close, slowing his movement down to fuck himself deeper.
“that wasn’t so h-hard now, was it, pretty thing…?” chan’s tongue swipes over his bottom lip to catch himself from drooling down your back. his hands pin your lower back down to the bed, forcing a nasty arch that makes you sob in equal parts relief and overstimulation.
“who’s my good girl, yeah? is that you? am i fucking my good girl stupid right now? huh? m-my beautiful good girl…”
chan’s sentences are punctuated with deep strokes, feeling his pelvis thrust and rock against you in languid motions. his words are overwhelming but that’s what he wants. you were just being so mean to the woman he loves, which is you.
“are you going to keep fighting with yourself or let me fuck you good, gorgeous?” chan heaves out, his chest pressing against your shoulder blades as he kisses into your hair. he ducks his head to lick a stripe up your spine to your neck, and chuckles a moan when he feels how squirmy and whiny you get. your moans are almost sobs from how his plush mushroom tip is kissing against that sensitive spot inside.
“sweetheart,” he drawls out, almost in a singsong voice. “you’re so… very precious… perfect girl, yeah? thank you f-for— fuck— sharing this perfect body.”
those deep strokes are reciprocated with your pussy squeezing him so tight chan swears he might be able to taste the stars. and because chan knows how to elevate your orgasm…
“sh-shit baby, breathe… breathe, just breathe, let it happen babygirl—”
a few inhales and exhales, and chan is wrapping that bicep around to grab your face. he loves that teary look in your eyes, like it feels too good to do anything but cry. your pussy is clenching on him like a vice, the sweet slapping and mixing of fluids…
he can’t help it, chan brings his lips hovering over yours, whispering, “i love you, sweetheart… cum for me.”
there’s a ringing in your ears when it happens, the churning of the knot builds so quick, you don’t even have time to think. chan’s groan bleeds into a whimper the second he feels your tight cunt shudder with shocks, milking him and causing his own release. the hiccuped sobs of moans you release have him praying the walls are thick enough to hide from neighbors. chan wants them all to himself.
he presses as deep as he can to flood you with hot cum, kissing all over your face from tears. your skin is tacky with sweat and stunning in the afterglow. chan runs his hands over your sweat slicked forehead, pushing back anything still sticking to you.
“don’t ever say that stuff again, baby… yeah…? you did such a good job, sweetheart… such a perfect and sweet girl…”
chan smacks a kiss to your temple, laying his weight down on your back. your eyes are already drooping from contentedness while he traces patterns onto your hip. his initials. little hearts. swirls that never end.
“i’m here to protect you from all of that… always.”

author's note: well… this is unexpected! thank you for 900 followers i love you guys so much :’) final exams are biting my ass right now
gamer bf!Euijoo who's been on his pc all day with you on his lap, efficiently cock warming him as he plays his games and you have to be really quiet and still or else his friends (nicholas and yuma) will hear you through the microphone but you're so frustrated because it's been like this for hours and you needed him to fuck you or else you might lose it. you tried shifting but he only tightened his grip around your waist keeping you in place which in result made you whine. of course both his friends heard and snickered, teasing him about it so he punishes you by bending you over his desk and fucking you harshly making you moan and scream, pulling out whenever you were about to cum and it was driving you up the walls. when he finally gives in and lets you cum, takes care of you and lays you down he goes back to his desk and on the chair, picking his headphones back up only to notice that he hasn't muted meaning he just gave nicholas and yuma a free show and they were more than happy to have tuned in.
(been thinking abt this all day ouugh gamer bf juju i need u so bad)
boyfriend!taki who gets hard when you do absolutely anything.
boyfriend!taki who seems to always have morning wood, but it gets genuinely 10x worse when you’re in bed with him. the second you shift in your sleep and your ass pressed against his crotch, he’s instantly grinding his half-hard length against your ass, mumbling sleepy apologies while his hips twitch like he can’t help it. “m’ sorry… ugh—you’re too warm… fuck.”
boyfriend!taki who gets embarrassingly turned on by your voice in the morning when it’s all raspy and low. you say “good morning” and he’s already on top of you, kissing your neck. “can you keep talking…?… just your voice is enough to make me cum in my pants sometimes, i swear.”
boyfriend!taki who gets stupidly hard when you wear lip gloss. you’re just reapplying it in the mirror and he’s suddenly behind you, chin on your shoulder, hips pressed forward so you can feel how hard he is. “it looks so shiny… wanna see it smeared all over my cock, baby. please?”
boyfriend!taki who gets turned on when you’re too focused on a game. you’re biting your lip, concentrated, and he’s tossing his controller to the side, sliding between your legs on the floor, kissing up your thighs. “keep playing… i just need to taste you real quick, okay? i’ll be good.”
boyfriend!taki who gets embarrassingly hard when you praise him. you tell him he did well at practice or that his new hair looks good and he’s suddenly shifting, cheeks pink, trying to hide the growing bulge in his sweats. “don’t say stuff like that when we’re in public… i’m gonna need you to fix this now.”
boyfriend!taki who gets turned on when you’re mad at him. you’re scolding him for leaving his stuff everywhere and he’s standing there shifting on his feet with an obvious tent in his sweatpants, eyes avoiding yours as he tugs you into his arms. “i know i won’t do it again—just—ugh—i need you…please?”
boyfriend!taki who gets hard from the smallest pda. holding your hand in public, you resting your head on his shoulder, or even just wearing his hoodie makes him rock hard in seconds. he’ll pull you into the nearest quiet spot because he genuinely can’t wait to get home to have you. a quick blowjob in the empty practice room isn't that bad, right?
boyfriend!taki who gets hard when you send voice notes throughout the day. his replies start innocent but usually end shaky and breathy. “i miss you… i saw a pretty necklace at this shop i went to with nicholas, it would look so nice around your neck—” then you hear his breath hitch, “fuck… i’m hard again just thinking about you.”
boyfriend!taki who can’t handle you wearing skirts, it instantly gives him a hard-on. the second you bend over to pick something up, he’s rock hard and pressing up behind you, hands sliding under the hem like he has zero self-control. “i know we’re supposed to leave soon but—shit—i need five minutes. or ten. or we could just not go?”
boyfriend!taki who turns cuddling into foreplay every single time. you’re on the couch with his head in your lap, fingers in his hair, and he’s already pressing his hard-on against the cushion's, looking up at you with those big pleading eyes. “baby…your fingers feel too good in my hair,” he whines softly, hips twitching, “i’m so hard… can we do something about it please?”
boyfriend!taki who gets hard just watching you cook. you’re standing at the stove in nothing but his oversized shirt and he comes up behind you, arms wrapping around your waist as he slowly grinds his growing bulge against your ass. “smells good… but you smell better.”, its extremely distracting and of course you scold him, but never actually stop him—even as he’s tugging your panties down.
boyfriend!taki who gets hard even during aftercare. you’re both sweaty and tired, you’re gently playing with his hair, and he’s already twitching back to life against your thigh. “i knooow i’m greedy…but baby—you’re being too sweet right now. can you go another round?", and you can never seem to tell him "no".
boyfriend!taki who gets embarrassingly hard when you laugh at his jokes. you’re giggling, head thrown back, and he’s biting his lip so hard, shifting in his seat because the sound goes straight to his dick. “stop laughing like that… i’m serious, i'm hard.”
boyfriend!taki who gets instantly hard when you call him by his full name—“takayama riki.”—especially if you say it in that slightly scolding tone. he’ll freeze, cheeks flushing, hand already adjusting himself. “… fuck, can you say my name like that while i’m inside you?”
boyfriend!taki who pops a boner the second you sit on his lap. doesn’t matter if it’s in the dorm with the members around or even in the car. he’ll bury his face in your shoulder and subtly roll his hips up, voice muffled, “don’t move too much…i think i’ll cum in my pants…”
boyfriend!taki who gets hard just from smelling your perfume on his clothes after you’ve left. he’ll jerk off to it in his room, moaning your name into the fabric, then send you a shaky voice note later: “i missed you so much today… my hoodie still smells like you and i’m hard again. come over please.”
boyfriend!taki who gets hard during movie nights. you’re cuddled up under a blanket and your hand just rests on his thigh. that’s it. that’s all it takes. within minutes he’s guiding your hand higher, whispering, “i’m sorry, i can’t help it… your fingers are so close.”
boyfriend!taki who can’t stay soft around you for more than ten minutes. you could be doing the most normal thing and he’s already aching, looking at you with those big needy eyes, voice all soft and desperate: “baby… i’m hard again. can you help me? i’ll be quick…promise.” (spoiler alert. it's never quick)
boyfriend!taki who gets hard when you softly say “i love you.” he hides his face in your neck, embarrassed at how whipped he is, mumbling, “i love you too, but im hard again.”
he’s just so insanely down bad for you in every single way! literally anything you do has his cock jump twitching and bulging, butttt he’s never even a little bit ashamed of showing you exactly how crazy you make him~
❛ just you, jay, and his six year old daughter who starts playing matchmaker when his coward of a dad can’t stop giggling at the thought of you. ❜
16O3O words of single dad jay ♥︎ kindergarten teacher reader
INCLUDES───fluff, humour, loads of cuteness, jay is a single girl dad, tired and a yearner through and through, matchmaker and menace of a daughter called ‘jiyu,’
WARNINGS───kissing, skinship, petnames, mentions of death ( not the reader or jay, ) drinking, lots and lots of hello kitty bye
CAELIN───round of applause for single dad jay !!!!! i have actually been thinking about this since i posted my very first single dad drabble. i’m super excited to share this with all of you. please lmk what you think & talk to me about this, it’s one of my forever favourites happy reading ◜ᴗ◝ cr @yeokii for the beautiful banner i love u goat
PART ONE PART TWO ✶ please read these before diving into this one for everything to make sense hehe :3
OO1 FEARLESS
jay, nine, decided he was too cool to have fears.
you wouldn’t be afraid of something if you didn’t let it scare you.
insects, sure, they make his skin crawl. but scared? nah. he wasn’t scared when he tried to drive for the first time, when he went bungee jumping, or when he swam to the deeper part of the pool at the age of sixteen— fifteen feet to be exact. he was never scared of needles and ghost stories have always failed to amuse him.
then, he got married at twenty four, had the prettiest little baby girl at twenty six and lost the love of his life at twenty seven.
perhaps, the time he felt anything close to fear was his daughter’s angelic face scrunched up in painful sobs and he didn’t know what to do. second time, it was when she almost fell from the bed when she was two, third, probably when he accidentally broke her hello kitty headband when she was four.
mistakes happen, he is only human, and jay had trained himself through books and constant advice from his parents to be the father of the century. no, he still doesn’t have a fear.
and then cue a busy day at work, endless meetings and piles of files that need his signature. he sees the numbers on the clock go from two to three in the noon. and jay has never stormed out of his office faster than now.
jay, now thirty two, has a fear— getting late to pick his daughter up from school— and it’s coming to life right now.
he always makes it on time, or before, managing to buy her favourite snacks to surprise her on the way back. the mothers talk while he waits in his chic black maserati, they smile to themselves when they see her run to him with saccharine giggles and he scoops her up.
jay— ideal employee and father— was convinced he was second to no one.
but today, god, he might be just speeding beyond limits, frantically looking at the time and at the road alternatively. he’s scared his darling daughter would be crying. he is never late— well, except once. it was a year ago, he was still new to managing work with her school days. she was sitting in the empty classroom alone with the teacher working on the side. the look on her face that day felt like a knife through his heart, and he promised to her that he would never be late again.
but then, today was the second time and he doesn’t know if his car is racing faster or his heart as he pulls up in front of the kindergarten. hurrying out of the car, he basically runs through the entrance, silently hoping and praying she doesn’t look lonely like the first time. he stops, taking a deep breath, eyes falling wide at the sight of his daughter.
she’s giggling, trying to kick the football. she looks up at you for validation at her poor attempt, a toothy grin adorning his face when you clap your hands. his lips erupt into an involuntary smile at the sight of you exhibiting a defeated frown— albeit dramatically— when jiyu scores a goal.
his heart skips a beat, she is his entire world, and she is happy, laughing, enjoying herself, and then it’s you— jiyu’s pretty teacher and his, well, dream girl. he doesn’t know why his heart has sped up anymore.
“papa!” the cute, little voice pulls him out of his trance, and his lips curl into a fond smile as he gets on one knee to embrace his little princess, greeting her with a kiss on the temple.
“hi, princess,” he caresses her cheeks, eyes going over the mess she has made out of her clothes. it’s going to be a tough time getting all that dirt and paint out but gosh, anything for her. with jiyu’s head on his shoulder, his eyes settle on you, and his face heats up again. “sorry for being late,”
he gives you a slight nod, a wordless thank you for looking after jiyu and a quiet apology for keeping you occupied. and when you return the smile back, he starts going crazy. even after having a fair share of women in his life, you have managed to bewitch him with pretty eyes and the ability to make his daughter smile.
actually, he has been crazy about you since day one, even before he had seen you, known you, heard you. he remembers how jiyu would eat his ears off while rambling about how pretty you are— she still does, except he listens and agrees with her like he has never heard any truer words in his life.
before, he got up early and dressed her up for school because education is important. now, it’s because he’s just as excited as jiyu to see you. education is still there— you have simply managed to make it seem less important.
“it’s fine, we had fun together. right, lovebug?” you assure, tickling jiyu’s sides as she yelps while swatting your hand away playfully.
and his heart aches in the best way when she gets out of his embrace to play with you. jay can swear he could melt into a puddle with how cute you both are, your laughs music to his ears, like a melody he has been missing for years. you can call him out on his lack of responsibility for being fashionably late to picking his daughter up and he would listen to it all with a fond gaze.
he stands up, holding the grayish-blue blazer in his hand, unable to take his eyes away from you, only to blink back to reality when jiyu tugs on his trousers.
“papa, i scored two goals today!” she chirps, eyes wide and gleaming in expectation for some compliments from her beloved father.
“really?” she nods proudly and jay grins like he is the one who made the goals. he is far too proud of his little girl. ronaldo should be glad jiyu is more interested in hello kitty colouring books. “let’s buy some treats to celebrate,”
“treats!” she exclaims before immediately getting distracted by a butterfly, running off to the side.
and it’s quiet again.
his hands are sweating, butterflies cartwheeling in his stomach. you’re telling jiyu to be careful not to trip and jay, he has already fallen for you once again. words can never be enough to express how much he appreciates you taking care of her.
the way wind blows through your hair makes him sigh in adoration, your eyes the brightest thing in existence, even more than the stars. and jay has never been the one to get sappy but he would write sonnets for you.
it’s getting awkward, aside from jiyu’s attempts to catch the butterfly and the visible concern written in your face. with a deep inhale, he musters up all his courage, the thump in his chest getting louder. “thank you for looking after her,”
and when you look at him with a warm smile, eyes crinkling up in crescents, he wants to melt in your hands the very moment. “no worries, it’s my job,”
even your voice resonates of a song sung by angels— he can’t believe he is thinking all that at his grown age. he wants to slap his face or bang his hand on the wall to pull himself together. but again, you make him want to write letters in your name. he’s a hopeless case.
“she likes you a lot,” i do too, he wants to add, but he controls. he is a grown man, for god’s sake, and here you have him blushing and swooning like a teenager having the first encounter with love. it’s crazy— just a month ago he was losing his mind over his daughter fawning over you and now, he’s doing the same.
his next words are interrupted by his dear daughter’s stubborn whines. he knew she would give up on the butterfly soon, stomping her tiny feet back to him. she’s already sold to the treats and nothing can calm her before she gets her hands on them.
“papa, let’s go! i want treats!” and jiyu, she is relentless, pulling his hand towards his car while he looks at you helplessly. patience is all he has ever taught her and she is everything that reminds him of his late wife.
he shoots an apologetic smile in your direction and lets her drag him to the car, knowing he can never say no when she gives those doe eyes to get him to fulfill her demands. her tiny hands grip around his fingers that taught her to walk and pull him in one direction while his heart gravitates in another— and this is just the beginning.
jay has been thinking.
with slow hands stirring the soup, his wandering mind has once again decided to go back to you. he can feel jiyu’s curious eyes scanning his face— she sighs like a middle aged adult— and he clears his throat with intention.
“so…what does your pretty miss like?” he is cautious, obviously trying to play it cool as if it’s completely normal for a parent to ask that. he does not want to show his exact intentions, at least not yet.
jiyu looks up from the colouring book in confusion, crayons scattered above the kitchen counter. she presses her lips together, as if having a deep thought. “um hello kitty! and strawberries!” a pause, she tilts her head to the right. “why?”
why.
good question, a damn good question with no answer. even he is wondering why. does he like you? everyone does, he’d be crazy to find you unlikeable. does he want you? yes— no! he slaps himself mentally.
he looks over at his daughter and she is humming one of her favourite rhymes while colouring the unicorns. it reminds him how you were holding her hand to guide her over the outlines, teaching her how to fill the colours properly. he also remembers how you had kissed her cheek since she did a good job, and he almost wanted you to kiss him too— jay wants to bang his head into a wall.
he wants to stop thinking about you, to save himself from spiralling into madness. it is clearly not working, so he goes back to his initial mission.
“can you ask what her favourite flower is?” his voice is a little more cautious this time, eyes fixed on the soup as if he doesn’t want to throw away everything and only talk about you.
she looks up again. “why?” and he groans internally.
gosh, do her questions ever end?
“it’s good to know your teacher,” he is trying so hard to make it sound weird. he turns off the stove, one hand on the counter as he leans against it. “and you can give her flowers to make her happy! you like her, don’t you?”
jiyu doesn’t respond, completely engrossed in her messy crayon drawing with the tongue sticking out in concentration.
and then, a quiet whisper follows. “i think papa likes her more,”
he winces internally at her words, not wanting to hear those words from her, out of all people. it makes him sound like he is in denial and trying to avoid the topic— even though he is, but he is not going to admit it.
is he being that obvious? he has barely known you for a little over a month— that too, only at school pickups and boring parents teachers meetings that he now loves to attend. yes, he accepts that he looks at you a little longer than he looks at everyone else. he doesn’t look at anyone else, only you. and it was going to be just you for a very, very long time.
“what no— i mean yes, but no!” he is panicking, losing his mind. the words are jumbled inside his head and the look on jiyu’s face tells that she knows his poor papa is having a quarter life crisis.
of course, he likes you. he likes your smile, your soft voice while you’re talking to the kids, your eyes and the way they sparkle all the time as if they hold the stars. jay likes you a lot, he’s just not ready to admit that out loud, especially not to his tiny, nosy, love-struck little matchmaker.
and unfortunately enough for him, she’s not waiting for a ‘yes’ from him. “you do! you get red when you see her! and you smile at her videos!” jiyu claims with full confidence— she is right.
his eyes crinkle up in crescents whenever he comes across one of your baking videos. when jiyu told him about your baking channel for the first time, he pictured his future with you. he thinks it’s destiny— he loves to cook, you love to bake— it’s a match made in heaven, a written in the stars type of love story.
his heart flutters at your cute cutelery, the pretty ceramics and adorable bowls. it’s adorable. he can’t even see your face, just the sound of your soothing voice is enough to ease his mind.
“that does not mean i like her, darling,” but jay is a father, first and foremost, before a loverboy lying to his daughter about his feelings. he doesn’t need his six year-old walking special agent to know about the feelings bubbling in his chest.
at least, not yet.
jiyu gets back to her colouring book, shaking her pretty little head like a tired parent. it’s unbelievable that he refuses to accept it even after she has called out his red face whenever you are around. raising a dad is hard, she would say, he is always in denial.
and she is definitely going to do something about it. “lilies are pretty,” she mumbles, not looking up from her colouring book but she knows she has all his attention. “you like lilies too!”
it makes hundred percent sense in her tiny brain that’s working overtime.
jay likes lilies, he gives you lilies, you end up liking lilies too— she hopes you will— you both bond over lilies and get closer and kiss. it’s the perfect scheme ever, she has seen it in one of the princess movies. well, not exactly, because the flowers were magical but nonetheless, she hopes the lilies do the work.
she’s devising a masterplan and jay— he knows just where to get the flowers from. he doesn’t need to be asked twice. pretty pink lilies wrapped in a bouquet with a ribbon. he’s already trying to come up with words to add onto a little note by the side.
pink lilies are for admiration. yeah, this is a great start.
jiyu is on a mission.
tiny hands holding a pot of lilies, brows furrowed, she looks at her father who is crouching in front of her. “give this to pretty miss,”
her shoulders are heavy with responsibility, she absolutely cannot mess this up. her tiny hands hold the small plant, and also jay’s pipeline to a love story with you but let’s not dwell into the details.
she nods firmly, way too interested in this little cupid act that she has gotten into. this has to be the most important day in her whole six years of life. her hold tightens on the pot, and she speaks with resolution. “will do!”
he sighs, fixing her ponytail. “and what do you say?”
“flowers are good and make you happy!” and dear heavens, jay has never been so proud of this little angel he has. honestly, he does feel a little silly for dragging her into his mess, but it was impossible to keep her out. she suggested the lilies and he knows she wouldn’t shut up about them until they have reached you safe and secure.
she has eyes as keen as an eagle and he is an open book.
she waves him goodbye, walking through the pink and blue entrance of the school and frowning at everyone who tries to touch the flower. her steps are laced with determination, wanting to do this right and make her father proud.
she walks to the class, flaunting the brand new hello kitty keychain on her bag pack. she was going to brag about it later. now, her eyes land on you as you arrange the books, and she approaches you with the puppy dog eyes that make the stars sigh in unison.
“pretty miss!” her cute voice makes you turn on your heel, a gasp falls off your lips as she holds the pot up and gives you her characteristic toothy smile. “for you!”
she’s shooting sparkles with her eyes that are looking at you eagerly for a reaction. it’s making you feel so many things at once, are you even supposed to take a gift from a student? you’re not sure, but you don’t have it in you to reject her surprise when she is looking at you with that grinning face.
“for me?” you look at the plantlet, and then at the excitement on her face as she hands it to you, her adorable eyes brimming with anticipation that you would like the gift. “why?”
“flowers are good!” she is beaming with cheerfulness, hands together and lips curved into the brightest smile. she is so proud of herself, almost imagining her dad patting her back and giving her all the chocolates. “papa told me to— oops!”
and the next second, her tiny hands fly over to her mouth, eyes wide and cheeks flushed. a gasp, she tries to blink the surprise away, gears turning inside her little head to come up with the best excuses. she cannot afford to mess this up. it’s about her papa and her pretty teacher— better than any princess story she has ever read.
you giggle at her innocent slip-up, the way her fingers fidgeting together in nervousness. you crouch to her level, gently placing the pot of lily on your work desk. “your father sent these?”
this is like her nightmare coming true. she can already see her father sighing disappointedly— no more spying, no more missions— her bottom lip is quivering at the mere thought of it.
“no!” and she shakes her head vigorously, try her very best to prove that it is not the case. “it’s a secret,”
you can barely enquire more before she runs off to her seat, successfully getting distracted by her friend’s cinnamoroll keychain. meanwhile, your eyes settle on the plant, the single flower that’s still about to reach its full bloom. there’s a bud next to it, small stars painted intricately on the ceramic pot. there’s a hello kitty sticker too— you know exactly who put it there.
you can hardly stop yourself from smiling, even when you’re supposed to go over the basic mathematics right now. your eyes inadvertently fall upon the beautiful white flower kept in the sunlight, the sight causing a slight flutter in your chest as warmth crept up your cheeks.
frankly, you have never thought about a parent of your students in such a way. it’s a little bashful, not to mention, unprofessional. although, something about jay makes you want to forget all those things and throw the cognition out of the window.
you see reflections of him in jiyu— the lovely smile, the way her eyes close when she laughs, her mannerisms, the slight raise in her brows when she is focused, and she is confident just like him, walking in as if she owns the room.
you don’t like working overtime but staying a little longer to look after jiyu is out of the equation. she’s cute, after all, and so is her dad, who shows up with an apologetic smile and tousled hair to pick her up. his eyes speak of exhaustion yet never running out of the love he harbours for her. his suit jacket is always on his forearm, tie a little loose and messy.
it doesn’t escape your attention the way his ears go red while talking to you and he avoids meeting your eyes. at this point, you don’t know if you’re staying late to look after jiyu or to catch a glimpse of her very attractive dad.
you continue with your duties, which certainly don’t include looking forward to meeting a certain someone but you end up counting down the minutes until the school hours end. parents teacher meetings are draining but when it’s with him, you find it oddly enjoyable. getting distracted was rather usual now, it was impossible to stop thoughts about him from flooding into your mind.
one quiet moment and your thoughts go back to him. it certainly didn’t help that jiyu mentioned him every few minutes— ‘my papa is the best—’ yeah, and you think so too.
much to your disappointment, you get caught up in a conversation with another parent to even see him, and it really pained to bid jiyu goodbye all alone and not walk her to the exit. it’s as if the universe isn’t on your side either because he arrived on time to pick up his little angel— fifteen minutes earlier in fact.
you could only watch him from a distance as he scooped her up in his arms and showered her with kisses, barely able to focus on the conversation at hand. and it melts your heart at the way jiyu waves you goodbye before resting her head on his shoulder as he carries her to his car, disappearing in the crowd of cheerful kids and yearning parents.
his hands are full of promised snacks and a surprise chocolate mousse patisserie that she loves to death. he can imagine his late wife scolding him for spoiling their daughter, but he can’t say no when she is looking at him with the very eyes he fell in love with ten years ago.
he shakes his head with a sigh, following jiyu’s tiny steps inside the house, calling out from behind. “careful!”
she’s a menace through and through, a treats monster on tiny feet that seemingly never gets tired even after school. he’s closing the door behind him and she stumbles on the way to the couch— his heart leaps out of his chest. even after six years, nothing can get him used to her energetic spirit that rules the entire house and has him dancing on her palms.
“snacks!” she claps her hands together, bouncing on the couch with happiness. it’s all she cares about, he doesn’t have to know about her little blunder in the plan. she can’t wait to have her papa-jiyu playtime where they both have snacks and share secrets.
and then she jumps down from the couch, restlessly running to him as she pulls her sparkly purple bag from his arm and shuffles through the colouring books and notebooks to pull out a pink envelope, basically shoving it into his face. “pretty miss gave this for you,”
his pulse increases at the simple mention of your name, and the fact that you send him an envelope— it feels like setting fire to his nerves. his shaky hands hold it cautiously, as if it’s worth millions. actually, to him, it does.
jay tilts his head— it’s exactly where jiyu gets that habit from— and he blinks at the sunflower sticker on top of the envelope. it makes him smile, you’re way too similar to jiyu when it comes to cute stickers and the colour pink.
he pulls out a small card from inside, and written on it is a small note which he can’t even read since the words are falling blind to his eyes. he is way too busy admiring your handwriting, the slight cursive that is just so you.
‘thank you for the lilies. they’re beautiful. ps. jiyu is bad at keeping secrets.’
and it happens again.
the jumbling of words inside his mind, heart beating relentlessly. he doesn’t know if he should consider his plan a success or failure— at least you have the lilies, he reassures himself, trying to hide his face behind the card that he knows is going to the safest locker in his cupboard.
and jiyu looks at him in confusion. “papa, you’re red again,”
OO2 TOOTH & NAIL
“papa,” she whispers in her cute voice, gesturing to him with her tiny hands to bend down to her level. “he gave her coffee,”
it’s not a known fact but jay and jiyu can pass for spies, or maybe they became one after he picked her up and saw another man approach you with what seemed like coffee.
this isn’t how things were supposed to go, but life is unpredictable. it was going to be an afternoon full of healthy vegetable sandwiches followed by ice cream and a movie of jiyu’s choice. well, that is until a certain someone reached you out with coffee right in front of him and jay felt like he was being challenged for a duel.
even she is engrossed— eyes squinted and fixed, she is judging that man with all her four feet and two inches. her face scrunches up— he’s not even that good-looking, not more than her prince of a father. no amount of spy missions to find cookies in the kitchen with her dad ( that he hid, by the way ) could measure up to this moment.
this just might be the most important mission of her entire life.
“come on, sweetheart. we should go home,” he buckles her seatbelt and turns on the ignition, and she nods like a commander in action.
she turns to her dad, eyes determined. the mission is clear— you’re a princess in danger, needing to be saved from the monster who lures people with coffee. her dear papa is the knight in shining armour, it’s exactly how the stories go. “are you going to fight?”
and jay scoffs, contradictory to the rules of disney. he huffs like this entire thing has nothing to do with him, even though his knuckles turn white with how firmly he is gripping the steering. “what? no!”
jay is indeed going to fight. tooth and nail.
he feels stupid for having these emotions— the butterflies, a crush, and the jealousy that seeps through his skin, drop by drop, every time he thinks about what happened earlier. the picture of you with he who shall not be mentioned is ingrained in his mind. eyes open, eyes closed, he sees you and him, and the thought that follows leaves a bitter taste on his tongue.
‘do you like him? is he your boyfriend?’
jay prefers to ignore the latter.
you did look happy when he gave you the coffee and your lips had curved up in the same beautiful smile that melts his heart every single time, even in his wildest dreams. he has never been so restless and nervous. his mouth is going dry as the seconds pass— tick-tock, tick-tock— she inhales sharply, shifting his weight from one leg to the other.
jay— the epitome of confidence and composure, is losing his cool because you interact with other men.
you and him are barely anything, and even if you were, you can talk to anyone you want. he knows that in all the right corners of his mind, even though his thoughts probably make him seem like a madman. hell, even he is surprised but he gets crazy when you’re the one driving.
his eyes go over the counter again— flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, blueberries, baking powder, spatula, butter, milk, some more— all check. and then he gets to the matter at hand.
“do you think she likes cookies?” he asks jiyu, who is once again sitting on her high chair at the counter, making puzzles. “or muffins. everyone likes muffins,”
and she doesn’t even look up, tongue sticking out as she’s trying to figure out which piece goes where— a quiet mumble falls off her lips. “you can ask her,”
“no!” he shrieks and almost drops the spatula. “that’s a no, princess,”
the thought of you being aware of his stupid plans haunts him.
jay cannot think about asking your likes and dislikes without cringing on the inside and dying a little. you’re jiyu’s teacher, for god’s sake, even though that hasn’t stopped him from imagining you had his girlfriend and giggling under the blanket.
well, he hopes you like muffins. you have made a video about it, the one he watched religiously last night. it wasn’t in his best plans to woo you with his impeccable skills in the kitchen, but jay absolutely cannot let another man win you over while he sits with his hands tied.
he purses his lips in deep thought while absentmindedly tracing the rim of the bowl with his finger, and jiyu notices it all. she sees the way her dear father sighs every few seconds, wiping his sweaty hands on the apron.
the puzzle is gone, long forgotten. instead, she puts her elbow on the counter and rests her pretty face on tiny hands— an interrogation. “papa, are you scared?”
he scoffs.
he whips his head in her direction.
sacred? he is offended, it’s written all over his face. jay is the hero of all her midnight action stories, he is her spiderman who saves her from the monster octopus and superman who defeats carrots and capsicums.
he hasn’t been scared in years— okay, well, he did have a first hand encounter with fear every time he was late to pick jiyu up from school— but that is all. he has told her all about his great acts of bravery ( bungee jumping, swimming and riding a rollercoaster ) and it is like a dagger to his heart to hear her say that him, out of all the people, is scared.
he puts his hand over his heart that just cracked a little because his lovely daughter thought he was scared. a beautiful woman with pretty eyes and adorable smile hasn’t got anything on him.
sacred wouldn’t even be the last word he would use to describe himself.
“papa is never scared, darling,” he leans over the counter to boop her nose, lips flaunting a prideful grin.
and jiyu tilts her head adorably, the stars in her eyes gleaming with curiosity. “are you going to kiss pretty miss?”
jay feels the flutter in his chest again.
the thought of kissing you, you— his hands are shaking already. it is a dream come true for him. you look like an angel bestowed upon the earth, he would fall apart a thousand times before his lips touch yours.
and when they finally do, he would turn into angel dust blessed by your touch.
god, he is writing poetry about you in his head, seeing you in the flowers and the stars, in every beautiful thing in existence. jay is putting shakespeare to shame with his devotion, even though he can’t believe this is who he actually is.
he shakes his head, hands on waist and all, his squinted eyes shooting playful glares to his lovely daughter. “where are you learning all this from?”
“princess story! the prince and princess kiss and they live together!” and she is ever so excited, almost jumping on her seat. her grip tightens over her bunny plushie with anticipation. “if you kiss her, will she live with us?”
her words strike a certain cord in him— he is feeling a lot of things at once.
it’s yearning, perhaps, a longing for something he wants, something that he had before and lost through the cracks in his very palms that promised a happy future. jay was sure he would never fall for anyone else but here he was, already on the ground for you. he was scared for jiyu but she felt the safest with you, as if she had known you for an entire lifetime.
all his questions lead to you, all his answers are in you. his mind pushes him into pits of doubt while his heart pulls him out by the mere thought of you.
his hands are still shaking— but, he swears to hold yours ever so tenderly with his hesitant fingers. he would hold your heart like it’s glass and surrender himself to you.
that is, if you let him.
“i don’t know,” he sighs, adding extra choco chips to the batter. “that’s for her to decide, angel,”
after all, jay can only hope and pray.
“more glitter!” jiyu has the entire apartment up her shoulders, her tiny yet assertive voice ordering jay around like a poor employee under a cold-hearted boss.
he looks at the clock in worry, his little boss has no concept of time. “angel, that’s enough—”
“no, you have to make it pretty!” she exclaims with her glittery hands, grabbing yet another sparkly pen from her collection. “we need more glitter and heart and hello kitty stickers,”
the entire bed is filled with stickers, colourful pens and whatnots. he feels the headache approaching— he did not wake up an hour earlier than usual and cleaned the entire bedroom only to do it again after makes a mess of everything again.
jay isn’t quite sure if he should be worrying or not, she refuses to get ready for school without finishing their super secret ‘operation : save pretty teacher’ formulated by the one and only, park jiyu.
he only watched in defeat as she decorates the card— more glitter, more stars, more hello kitty— her tongue is poking out in concentration. jay thinks it’s genetic.
and then she shoves the paper in his face, wanting honest feedback, which means lots of compliments in her language.
“we should write a note,” jay presses his lips together, trying to come up with something. nothing too weird or forward, just nice and sweet like you.
jiyu claps her hand, chiming “say you want to marry her!” like it’s the best thing she has come up with in the six years of her life. it is, in fact, the most brilliant idea her tiny six year mind has thought of.
“stop it,” his heart is racing again— he is almost imagining you in a wedding gown already. he clears his throat as if jiyu’s words didn’t make his brain short circuit for a good few minutes. “okay. write ‘have a good day, pretty miss,”
and jay thinks he is smart.
making jiyu write his words in her adorably messy handwriting to make you believe that this was definitely not his idea and he certainly did not sit through the whole process of her making a greeting card for you. he was never the courageous one, not while confessing to his late wife, neither to you. although, he does feel a little more certain this time— it’s simply your magic.
she finishes up writing and he slides the pink card in the envelope ever so effortlessly— both of them sharing a prideful grin.
mission, half successful.
jiyu is on a mission once again.
part two of the same, truthfully. she strides forward with purposeful steps, confident that she is not going to mess this up like last time.
a spy never discloses secrets of their partner. she is going to have her mouth zipped up, locked.
she places the box of muffins and the envelope on your desk with her tippy toes, finding satisfaction in the way your face morphs from confusion into pleasant surprise.
“again?” you marvel at the fragrance of freshly baked muffins and she stands with hands on her sides, proud and victorious. “you don’t want to share them with your friends?”
“no! papa said this is only for you!” and it happens again, her brows rising up in shock. it doesn’t hit her until her small hands are over her mouth, wanting to take her words back. “that was a secret…”
you fail to bite back a giggle as her precious face flushes red, eyes moving all around except at your face. she cannot believe she screwed the missing again— she might just not get that hello kitty merch now.
you take a look at the pastel yellow box of muffin again, the cute marshmallow design bringing a smile to your lips. it’s evident that jiyu picked it herself. you know her enough to know she is just three things— hello kitty, marshmallows and strawberries— mostly.
“thank you, sweetheart,” you ruffle his hair, the pout on her lips only making you want to pull her into a hug. too bad, you have a job, otherwise you wouldn’t mind spending the whole day simply admiring her adorable face.
it’s the same process all over again— the envelope on your desk, jay’s handsome face in your mind, and the secret not-to-be-told that had slipped off jiyu’s lips ringing in your ears. your hands are itching to open the envelope, with utmost care, nonetheless. you would go over every crease and fold with a smile, maybe even kick your feet under the duvet while you’re giggling at every other word and scribble like you did last time.
jay has you falling for him just as deep as he has fallen for you, if not more.
butterflies house in your chest at the mere thought of him. it’s utterly unprofessional and disgustingly cute, and you haven’t even had a proper conversation with him where he is not jiyu’s father and you aren’t her teacher.
you don’t think you know him anymore than jiyu brags about— his maserati, the fact that they both have matching hello kitty headbands and that he is very, very good in the kitchen. you do want to know him more. perhaps, his favourite colour, or the book he likes.
maybe, how his hand would feel in yours— you drop the chalk amidst thinking about jay and spelling a word on the blackboard. you are going crazy, and you don’t think you want to get better anytime soon.
by the time school hours end, you make it your goal to walk jiyu to her dad yourself. the simple thought is making your heart race so fast, you can hear it echo in your ears.
and then you see him— gray suit, black locks slicked back. he is frantically trying to fix it as he catches your sight, and you chuckle under your breath, not missing the shy smile on his lips.
jay shines like gold in the setting sun, or perhaps it’s his own glow drawing you in. you are like a planet to the sun, always finding yourself revolving in orbits around him. you feel a similar flutter in your chest when he hugs jiyu like she’s his entire world— which she is.
and your breath gets caught up in your throat when his eyes finally meet yours. you notice the way he fumbles a few words again, you wonder if he knows you’re no better either.
“thank you for the muffins,” you manage to say, soft and sweet, it sounds like melodies to him. “how did you know blueberry is my favourite flavour?”
“just a lucky guess,” he says, trying to play it cool, knowing very well he scrolled through your channel to know your preferences. he knows you don’t like pineapple while chocolate is your second favourite. you’re trying to learn how to make mousse cakes and lobotomy wouldn’t even touch him because in his head, jay is already picturing the two of you baking it together.
“papa stayed up all night to bake! i helped too!” jiyu chimes in with a proud smile while jay is actively trying to disappear into the floor. she stayed up despite his hesitation, he did not want to risk her getting late to school. and now, it’s dreadful as well, because she can recite his crashouts from the night before word to word.
you grin at her words, ruffling her hair and almost melting at the contact when she leans into your touch. “no wonder they were delicious,”
“he also said your handwriting is pretty and it made his heart do a funny beat—”
and his hand flies over her tiny mouth that can’t keep secrets at all, while his face is red from the way you are looking at him. “don’t mind her,”
you swear, your heart just did a funny beat.
it’s the way he pulls her back and hushes her frantically that has you laughing under your breath. you shake your head at the pout on jiyu’s lips while he scolds her in the softest voice. he’s freaking out while trying not to be obvious about it and it’s the cutest family scene ever.
jay barely waits for another second before offering you a polite bow and walking towards his car.
“jay,” and you can hardly think before his name rolls off your tongue as if it has become a habit. “do you have something to say?”
you don’t know what you’re aiming for here.
maybe, you’ve been watching too many romcoms and reading too much into his little actions— it sounds stupid to you, even. the lilies, muffins, glittery cards and scribbled hearts can mean only one thing.
you still want to hear it from him to relieve all your doubts.
and before he could ever find words, jiyu already had a big grin on her face and eyes gleaming with impatience. “yes! papa likes—”
jay wants the earth to explode or something.
“would you look at the time? we should get going,” he drags his dear daughter to the car, ears red, cheeks flushed, barely having the courage to look you in the eye after the stunt jiyu pulled.
nonetheless, it told you exactly what you wanted to know.
you big goodbyes to other kids once the two of them are out of sight, and jay exhales heavily with his hands on the steering wheel as if he made it out of a death ring by an inch.
he looks over at his daughter who is sitting with her tiny arms crossed over her chest and the cutest frown dancing on her lips. jay knows he might have to buy an entire bakery to make it up to her.
it’s moments like this that remind him that she is much like her mother when it comes to mannerisms. she would have showered her in kisses as an apology but for now, jay will stick to bribing her with sweets if it means he can save image in front of you.
“never, ever, and i mean ever, say that in front of her,” he’s firm, soft, but also says it like a plea, like his whole life depends on that small mouth that holds big secrets.
“but it’s true! you like her!” she retorts, loud and proud. simply hearing it from her gives him a mini heart attack. “you tell her that and kiss and we live together— it’s easy!”
and jay had spent afternoons bickering with his wife that their daughter would take after him in some aspects. now, it’s biting him back since she inherited his stubborn attitude and refusal to give up.
he shifts the gears, hitting acceleration. “you’ll know when you grow up, little miss,”
and she huffs, brows furrowed. “i’m a big girl!”
OO3 MASTERPLAN
jiyu does believe she is a big girl. she’s six, big number, she can do additions in her mind and help her dear father write love letters because he is too much of a scaredy cat.
she has her lips zipped, not speaking a word about him to you for the next few days. no, she isn’t upset. it’s all a part of her big, masterplan. he didn’t spend the saturday night with a torch light under her space blanket for nothing.
the crumbled sheets of her drawing copy still lie in the trash can in her room, titled with ‘papa insert a poorly drawn heart pretty teacher’ and then scribbled off when she couldn’t devise a plan.
she didn’t give up, though, that word does not exist in her not so vast vocabulary yet. she stayed up all night looking at the glowy stars on her ceiling, lips pressed together, and then finally fisting her tiny hands with determination.
jiyu is tired of her dad fumbling every chance so she takes matters in her own tiny, glittery hands.
it’s just another busy afternoon at work for him and he’s picking jiyu up late again, warm coffee in hand, sleeves rolled up, hair tousled. he still remembers the first time he had arrived late and she was sitting alone, small legs dangling off the bench.
it was before you had joined and even though he knows you would sit next to jiyu the whole time while she’s waiting for him, it still doesn’t do much to ease his worries. if there’s one thing he hates, it’s to keep his little girl waiting.
you’re kneeling beside her cubby helping her zip up her hoodie, when he hurries inside with heavy breaths and a relieved smile at the sight of you next to jiyu.
“sorry,” he almost forgetting to breath when you smile at him, finding it hard to think straight when your eyes are on him. “i hit every red light,”
“all good,” you stand up, laughing when jiyu runs up to him and wraps her arms around his legs. “we were just having a fashion crisis,”
“papa,” jiyu says suddenly— her voice high, sweet, dangerously casual. there’s a certain glint in her eyes and god, it sets his heart off on a nervous journey. “did you know that pretty miss’ new video got so many views!”
he was almost expecting her to say something risky again— she can’t keep secrets for the life in her. although, her words bring a wave of relief to him. at least she isn’t planning to pull any stunts— for now. jay tugs her backpack over one shoulder and tilts his head. “did it?”
and he does it so innocently as if he wasn’t one of the earliest viewers in your new video, clicking the notification as soon as you posted it. he had already imagined your pretty face morphed in happiness when he saw your new video reach above a million views by the morning— yes, he opened youtube as soon as he got up.
“yes!” she exclaims, a little too excited, her ponytail swaying as she turns to you with a big grin. “papa is a big fan,”
you blink. “what?”
jay freezes, palms sweating as realisation dawns upon him. jiyu looks way too happy with no sign of wanting to stop on her face. her sharp tongue knows no bounds and he is already shaking his head in your direction to save whatever little image he has in front of you.
“i am not—” he starts, voice cracking slightly.
“yes you are!” jiyu intervenes brightly, pointing fingers and shooting daggers with her sweet giggles. “you watched the muffin video many times while making dinner, and you said you liked her voice and then you got all quiet and weird,”
the muffin video, god, jay wishes he could go back to that night and put his detective of a daughter to sleep. he thinks he’s hopeless, truthfully. he had no reason to watch your tutorial on baking muffins— he knows how to bake. he knew the ingredients even before you had gone over their names and proportions, and he remembers exactly how he had gone from sitting on the couch with his legs crossed to curling up in the corner with a cushion in his arms.
his little grin stayed hidden behind the cushion, one that grew wider every time you had smiled. you haven’t even done a face reveal on your channel but he can hear your pretty smiles flowing in your honeyed voice. you have him hooked, he scrolls through your videos even at work. jay can bet his secretary thinks he needs professional help because he keeps smiling while looking at the plain, white walls.
you stare at jay, wide eyed and at a loss of words.
and he stares at the floor like it personally betrayed him. it’s so over for him. his hand flies to his face, a heavy sigh falling of his lips, and he looks at you with pretty eyes brimming with panic. “i— okay, that’s not what happened,”
“you smiled in it,” jiyu continues, still cheerful, not wanting to stop anytime soon. she has one job— expose her lovely father because he is too much of a coward. “and he was smiling at the phone. papa is so silly!”
he can’t even look at you right now, just wanting the ground to swallow him whole or something. the sun can explode and he wouldn’t even mind. silly is not even on the list of words he would want you to describe himself as but maybe, that’s who he is— silly, some sort of loser who is hopelessly in love and impossibly shy to admit it to his crush.
you bite your lip to keep from laughing. “very silly,” your words are like a gentle jab to his heart, still not wanting to believe silly is what he is to you. “but kind of sweet,”
okay— now, he is not sure if he wants to disappear or melt at your feet. you called him sweet, it sounds like wedding bells to him. he looks over at you, you don’t look that upset at this revelation. you don’t look upset at all, not even a sliver of disgust on your face. maybe, this isn’t the end of the world. perhaps, he has a chance, or perhaps, you’re going to sit and make fun of him with your friends later over some drinks and chips.
his eyes widen, jay lets out a noise like a dying animal at the mere thought of that.
he looks over at his daughter, who is finding amusement in his misery and laughing under her tiny palms over her mouth. it’s like a game to her, one that she is winning by sacrificing her father.
“i’m gonna ban all screen time in our house,” he mutters, grabbing her arm to pull her out and away from here and just take her home. today’s father-daughter evening was going to be about an elaborate discussion on how to not embarrass your father in front of his crush. so much for big girl talks.
but jiyu pulls out of his grip immediately, helplessly adding “he gets shy when i talk about you,” with a giggle in her chirpy voice, loud and excited. “he says you have the prettiest laugh,” and at this point, he isn’t even doing it deliberately.
words flow out of her mouth like the poems she had learnt to recite to her grandparents. her eyes shine the brightest at this moment, followed by the smile that has you hooked to everything she says. jiyu had waited for this moment since forever, wanting to talk about him and you— the greatest love story in the making.
he exhales with a flare— or a plea. “jiyu,”
she shoots him glares as if it makes her pretty, doe eyes any less adorable. and you’re covering your mouth now, shoulders shaking, not sure whether to laugh or awe at his red face. your hands are aching to hold his flustered face in your palms and tell him so softly how much you want to kiss him.
jay gives you a look— half-mortified, half-defeated. his hair is tousled from the amount of times he has ran his fingers through them. “she’s lying. she’s six. no one believes six-year-olds,”
and jiyu gasps, tilting her head at him with an exaggerated pout. “you also said you like miss—”
“okay,” jay cuts in, clapping his hands and pulling her back by her bagpack. he was not going to let her drop the bomb like that. “time to go. say goodbye. we’re getting late,”
you’re barely keeping it together at their back and forth. he is basically pulling her towards the door and she keeps resisting, fighting with her pouty lips and squinty eyes.
you almost want to stop her and confront him yourself, wanting to see him squirm and stutter under your gaze until he has turned into a puddle. it’s cruel, you feel like the villains in his fake princess stories that jiyu tells you about. the idea is tempting, but you end up waving at jiyu. “bye, lovebug.”
“bye, pretty miss!” she sings sweetly, hello kitty keychain dangling off her bagpack. “tell papa you like him back!”
jay groans, practically scooping her up and backs out of the room. he can never face you after this. he’s already thinking about other good schools he can transfer jiyu to.
honestly, if it wasn’t for jiyu, you would think jay and you would still be exchanging muffins like highschoolers. unlike him, this is probably the best day you’ve had at work, and you call out to them to make it even better. “tell him his face is red again!”
and jay groans audibly down the hallway, not wanting to believe he’s still breathing through all this— and unfortunately so.
OO4 TO BELONG
jay thinks he is the unluckiest person alive.
absolutely doomed by the heavens, not even the higher deities are on his side. resigning from his job and moving to the countryside would be better. at least, he wouldn’t have to face you after the majestic event his daughter pulled the last time he saw you.
frankly, he has been avoiding you the whole week. he arrives at the school pickup on time, waiting until his little girl comes running and then he drives away with her before you can even approach him. it doesn’t make him feel any less shitty than he did for not attending the parents teacher meeting. he bailed out with some work excuse— he’s sure you’re perceptive enough to catch his lies.
jay wasn’t going to avoid you forever. he’s simply waiting for the right time. and timing be damned, because he had to have an important meeting on a weekday and his fingers were shaking over your contact. cherry on top— jiyu’s nanny had to get sick today and the neighbours had to go on a family dinner when he needed them the most. he is so sure this is an elaborate scheme to ruin his life.
this was a bad idea. yeah, why would you want to do anything with him after what happened last time? you probably think of him as some crazy, obsessed freak. it’s probably your courtesy that he doesn't have a restraining order on him yet. he’s highly expecting it anytime soon.
‘this is a bad idea,’ he thinks, but then freaks out when he clicks on the call button. worse— it connects immediately and his mind haywires, forgetting the entire concept of words and vocabulary.
“jay?” he gulps at the sound of your voice, looking at the potted plant in his office as if that succulent was going to start speaking. “jay, are you there?”
“uh— ” he wants to rip his hair out because of the weird sound he just let out. he shifts in his leather seat, fingers clutching around the phone like a lifeline. “hi,”
great.
he’s pretty sure his voice is nothing less than that of an animal shrieking in pain. he cannot believe it’s this same mind that signs off million dollar deals and can’t even hold a normal conversation with a beautiful woman.
okay, jay, breathe. this is not the end of the world. you’re just another woman— he wants to marry you, but that’s another story. besides, there’s always an option to move to the countryside and have a corn farm.
“i hate to ask this but i’m stuck in a meeting,” a pause, he’s testing the waters. a reply, anything, from you that tells him that you’re still with him. and when you don’t speak, he simply continues with dread setting deeper in his chest. “it’s going to take the whole evening. would you—?”
“of course,” you say immediately and he thinks you’re god. “i’ll take her to my place. you can rest assured,”
he practically melts in his work chair, letting out a breath that he has been holding for the past twenty minutes. you’re his saviour, like the light at the end of the tunnel. and for some reason, he feels more assured than he did when he left jiyu with anyone else before you.
he thinks he might have fallen for you once again.
he sighs in relief. “thank you— and i’m sorry for putting this on you on such a short notice,”
“it’s fine, i don’t mind spending time with her,” and you sound like you are in a hurry. you’re at the school, after all. you probably have some toddlers at each other’s hair judging from the cry he heard in the background. “i have to go— i’ll text you my address so you can pick her up later,”
“yeah—” he can barely finish his words before you hang up, and he only stares at the black screen in admiration with a dreamy smile, mumbling to himself. “thanks,”
if jay had to choose a superpower, it would be time control.
yeah, they’ve gone over this before— him and jiyu— she had picked invisibility so she could steal all the cookies. as childish as it sounds, he really wishes superpowers were real. if you hadn’t already started disliking him for his poor tricks to hit on you, he is so sure you would hate him for his absolute disaster of time management.
a blazing horn, tires screech, he whips the steering to the right— a near miss. his heart échos in his ears while his leg is still resting over the brake. the last thing he needs today is to see his death. it has to be the worst day he has ever had.
even finally pulling up in front of your apartment complex doesn’t make things better. he almost forgets to lock his car. seventh floor, unit 723— he remembers that like the back of his hand. jay barely has any time to lose before he barely waits for five seconds in front of the lift before deciding to take the stairs.
jay is convinced this is bigger than any gym workout he has ever done. hell, the two-hundred meters race on father’s day at jiyu’s school feels like a joke. he can barely feel exhaustion setting it, the urgency to see his dear princess lies second to none, even if his legs are starting to feel like jelly.
he feels like he has aged three years while running up seven floors, and simultaneously has gained ten years of lifespan when he sees your unit in sight. he rings the bell, knocks, one hand up the walls to catch his breath.
and when you finally open the door, it’s like a flood gate of words turned open. “i’m sorry. the meeting went on longer than expected and then the traffic—”
“jay, breathe,” you interrupt, half amused and half concerned. you’re trying not to feel guilty of finding him hot even now— he can barely breathe, for gods sake, but your eyes refuse to look anywhere except the glimpse of clavicle near the collar of his shirt. “you look like you ran all the way up,”
“yeah, i took the stairs—” the way he says it with huffs of breaths makes you feel bad, but you end up letting out an amused chuckle in the end. “elevators were taking too long,”
you want to hug his worries away, even though that sounds like a far dream. his hair sticks to his forehead due to sweat and you almost imagine yourself sitting next to him and tending to him with gentleness.
you watch the way his eyes scan your apartment restlessly even before he has walked past the doorway, trying to get a glimpse, a sight— you know exactly what will put his heart to ease.
“jiyu is fine. she just fell asleep,” your heart flutters as you watch your words ease his mind, and your lips break into a warm smile as you continue. “took her three bedtime stories even after playing all evening,”
you step aside and let him walk inside, and jay lets out a loud gasp at the sight of the living room— messy, opened paint bottles and brushes around with loose sheets. it looks like a disaster, he considers getting on his knees to apologise.
his eyes inadvertently move to your face and now that he looks at you again, better, you look happy, covered in glitter and cute stickers— he knows jiyu put that strawberry sticker on your cheek— and jay is swooning.
“well, we were painting,” he can hear the smile in your voice and his heart does a sommersault. his chest aches to see you playing with jiyu. “i’ll clean at up later,”
“i’ll help,” he immediately turns to you and there it is, the sparkle in his eyes, the one that you have gotten used to seeing whenever he comes to pick jiyu up after school. the sparkle that you have always wanted to see for a little longer but couldn’t because he cannot meet your eyes for longer than a minute.
and now that he is finally looking at you with an emotion somewhere between apology and gratefulness, you can’t help but admire the way he looks— his sharp features that look soft as a flower when he’s looking at you.
the silence between you both stretches and your chest tightens, and words leave your mouth like you’re caught under his spell. “okay,”
jay is already taking off his suit jacket, placing it on the armrest of your couch before undoing the cuffs of his sleeves. you basically freeze midway in the process of gathering the loose sheets painted with whatever, taking in every inch of the skin on his arm that meets your gaze as he rolls the sleeves up.
you’ve lost it, completely.
he picks up jiyu’s backpack that was lying around on the floor and swings it over his shoulder like it’s muscle memory. he arranges her shoes with his foot, immediately going for the water bottle that was lying next to the couch.
you have only managed to pick up the sheets and colours and he is already looking like some avenger with a backpack, water bottle in one hand and a bowl of water for painting in another with brushes dipped in it. he’s also somehow balancing his phone between his ear and shoulder through it all and answering to whoever it was on the other end of the call.
it feels like magic because you’re apartment already looks cleaner than it was just two minutes ago. “that was…surprisingly quick,”
he registers your words as soon as he puts his phone down on the counter, and there is it again— the shy smile that tugs at your heart strings just right. his hand flies to his nape and he manages to speak even through the loss of words. “yeah, well— i’ve been doing this for six years now,”
god, you’re addicted to that smile.
“right,” you smile, not sure if it’s at his words or how pretty he looks under those kitchen lights. you might as well be jealous of jiyu for being able to see this godly sight every day, might.
you’re still in a trance while watching him wash the excess paint off the dried brushes. you grab a cleaning towel to wipe the paint splatters off the tiles and your eyes are still glued to him— his arm, biceps, flexing through the soft material of his dress shirt.
you do see him walk over to you but you don’t move, your brain is still out of network service. you see his lips moving— his words are deaf to your ears anyway. your fingers are itching to trace over every single part of his face but you fist them around the cloth in your hand to not look crazy.
you blink once, twice— the sound of his voice calling your name gets a tad bit clearer— and then thrice before you’re finally pulled out of dreamland. “oh— yeah, sure! thanks,”
you don’t even know what you’re saying sure and thanks to. you’ve already lost your mind and you think you start losing it again when he steps closer. your heart speeds up like it’s on rocket fuel as he leans in even closer. you don’t even know what you agreed to— it can be anything between killing you and kissing you—
and you’re almost closing your eyes as if anticipating something. almost, because you feel his fingers graze tenderly over your cheek. it’s ever so gentle, like he’s afraid you’ll break.
you almost lean into his touch before he pulls away with a small smile. “there,” and he crumbles the fuckass strawberry sticker between his fingers before it finally hits you. “all clean,”
he laughs.
jay is laughing while you want to scream, probably punch into the nearest wall. you’re pretty sure you’ve embarrassed yourself but hey, so has he, many times at that, so you both are equal.
“thanks,” you manage to speak through the awkwardness. and then words vanish off your tongue again. he’s looking at you like you’ve saved his life— honestly, you might have, by looking after jiyu all evening. she is his life, his heart beat.
it’s quiet again.
and it feels like one hell of an awkward episode as you both just stand and look at each other. it’s way too quiet, save for the distant horns on the road. jay practically jumps when your table clock goes off with a robotic sound— why did you even set an alarm for ten at night?
you look like an angel wrapped in a warm sweater and trousers. white suits you and so does the glitter on your cheeks. you look like the perfect mess, and you look like you belong here— with jiyu, with him. this is bad, he needs to say something, anything.
his weight shifts from one leg to the other, an attempt at clearing his throat and well, the awkwardness. “i’m sorry for putting you up for babysitting duties all of a sudden,”
you shake your head modestly and he knows what’s coming. “it’s okay, i had fun,”
he laughs at your words, like the first gentle, relieved laugh of the day, like he can breathe after a whole day of work and worries. “she didn’t give you trouble, did she?”
you roll your eyes, arms crossed over your chest. “we get along better than you think, jay,”
and it’s the way you say his name that sends his mind into a frenzy. the way you are smiling at him, the way your eyes are sparkling with a playful glint— everything that is making him forget to breathe.
jay had actually forgotten he was here to pick his daughter up and not stand and admire you like a fool, and when he finally remembers, his feet follow behind your steps on their own while you lead him to your bedroom.
and there she is— his perfect, little girl tucked under a duvet. you’ve arranged pillows around her to prevent her from rolling over and it affects him more than it should. he almost crashes against the door, lips erupting into a fond smile at the sight of her sleeping so sound and safe.
“she’s adorable,” you can’t help but murmur. you’ll probably never tell him, but you sat by the bed for a good few minutes to admire her when she had fallen asleep.
“yeah,”
he takes quiet steps towards the bed and scoops her up in his arms like it’s a habit— and it is. jay would swear his arms would feel empty without her. she squirms drowsily and he pats her back, lulling her back to sleep with practiced ease.
you can see the fatigue behind his eyes and the exhaustion setting in his actions. he presses the softest kiss on jiyu’s forehead and the action melts your heart. you’ve always found their interactions cute, but seeing him like this— a tired mess and relishing in little form snuggled up against his chest— is the most special.
he walks towards the main entrance and words end up slipping off your tongue before you know it. “you’re not staying for dinner?”
you’re just as surprised as him, honestly.
he’s still looking at you with the same soft look on his face. you’re starting to think that dinner with him isn’t exactly a bad idea, not at all.
“no, you look like you could use some nice sleep,” he sighs, and you open your mouth to protest even though you’re disappinted, but he beats you to it. “you’ve already done more than enough,”
maybe, you actually need some sleep.
taking care of a kid is hard, you’ve realised it several times today. if it wasn’t for her non-stop narration on why you should watch kpop demon hunters, you would have fallen asleep on the couch before her. although, you would look after jiyu again without question. he simply has to say the word.
it also has to do with the fact that you still haven’t stopped ogling at his arms, not like you’re ever going to say that out loud.
your eyes meet again when he stands at the doorway, none of you knowing what to say. he’s still caressing her back, making sure she doesn’t wake up. it’s oddly captivating, you want to know how his hands would feel wrapped around you.
your gaze traces over his face, then lips, then back up to meet his eyes so you don’t look like some creep to him. this was a perfect way to end a day and you would hate to ruin it with your inability to take your eyes off him.
he takes a deep breath, not really wanting to leave but he knows that’s not possible. at least, not yet. “see you,”
you nod with a quiet “good night,” and then you close the door, crashing against it with the sweetest smile.
oh, you’re so done for.
OO5 MATCHMAKER
you haven’t seen jay in over five days and it’s the worst thing ever. the first two days, jiyu called in sick, and the next three, you had to visit your parents for your father’s birthday. you’d be lying if you say you did not think about him all the time— day, noon and night.
despite you telling everyone that nothing was wrong, you constantly checked your phone for texts from him, the last ones being about jiyu being sick from two days ago. and well, you did reply, two days ago, of course, hoping that she gets well soon, and then succumbed to hesitation as you went back and forth between to message or to not message.
and now that you’re back to work, jiyu is once again looking at you with determined eyes and a mischievous smile, tiptoeing over your desk. “papa made pancakes for you,”
once again, in front of you, lies a cute box, pastel green this time, with a cherry sticker. you’re going to lose your mind out of cuteness overload one of these days. she slides a small card towards you and your heart skips several beats. all this feels like some high school love story with jiyu playing the perfect cupid.
“were you supposed to tell me that?” you chuckle, based on her history spilling secrets that he trusts her to hide.
you flip open the card and this time, it’s written in his own handwriting— neat yet a bit hurried, every stroke and curve making the smile on your face grow bigger. your name looks prettier when it’s written by him, like something that belong right next to his name.
“yes!” jiyu’s chimes in, almost jumping in excitement. “he also said you should come for dinner,”
“dinner?”
“he cooks really well! and he wants to say thank you,” and of course, she is not letting up any opportunity to praise her father. if jay had a sponsor, it would be her and it’s no surprise. if jay has a million fans, she is one of them. if jay has one fan, it’s her and, if jay has no fans, she is dead.
she went off in front of her grandparents on her third birthday and his friends about how amazing he is at making soup. she couldn’t even remember her nursery rhymes well but she would never shy away from standing in the middle of the living room and give a proper speech on the chef of a dad that she has.
and she is confident in her words, even if they are stuttery and pronounced wrong, sounding like the usual baby rambles. jay can do anything and he would always have a tiny, adorable voice cheering on him.
you slide the note inside your purse, knowing it’s going to stay in your drawer like some precious treasure. you basically spend the rest of the working hours shaking with excitement to see him. you taught subtractions, gripping the chalk a little too tightly in anticipation.
you feel like a victorian lady who can’t wait to see her husband as he returns from the war. the thought itself makes your mind go fuzzy, you’re afraid you mind end up saying something wrong and scaring him away ( even though it’s not possible because jay will want you even if you are a little crazy. )
when the head assigns you to review some student profiles after work, you almost wanted to snap her head off with your bare hands. you hate staying beyond the working hours, more when you know it can very well ruin your only chance of seeing jay today after a whole week of torture.
but, it’s like even the stars are rooting for both of you because you receive a text from him and he is late again— much to his disappointment— and you have never loved the traffic so much before.
you stay with jiyu after school, she is talking about planets. her favourite is saturn because she read that it rains diamonds up there, and you try your best to not look impatient while waiting for the horn of his car that has now become familiar to your ears.
“do you like papa?” jiyu looks up at you with her big, curious eyes, legs dangling off the swing you both are sitting on. she blinks at you a few times, waiting for a response while holding the lollipop in one hand. “he’s nice,”
she’s making round patterns on the sand with her shoes and just as you were about to reply, he arrives, finally, you straighten yourself as you watch him hurry out of the car and close the door a little too loudly behind him.
jay practically runs inside, anxious eyes looking for jiyu until they finally meet her tiny form running towards him. she’s lifted off the ground even before she could respond, her giggles erupting in the air as he drowns her face in fleeting kisses.
then his gaze meets yours, and both your heartbeats start going off like a time bomb— straight out of a movie. you look happier to see him than usual and he is already working up his mind to come up with something.
“about dinner— will saturday be okay?” you cringe internally. that came off as way more excited than you intended. obviously, you don’t want to come off too strong even if you are literally shaking like a manic at the thought of having dinner with him.
“dinner?” he looks down at the tug at his sleeve. it’s jiyu, she’s looking up at him with a grin, and she winks. oh. “saturday is…perfect,”
he doesn’t understand whether to pat jiyu’s back and give her the trophy for being better at this than cupid, if he exists, or if he should lecture on why she can’t invite you over for dinner one fine saturday, under his name, because it’s inappropriate.
although, all his worries are thrown out of the window when he sees the enchanting smile tugging at your lips— dinner be it, hell yeah. he might just invite you over for a five course meal everyday if you are going to look at him like that.
“i’ll see you then,” you nod, and jay was going to make sure the upcoming saturday is the best one you’ve had in your entire life.
you had said saturday to buy yourself four days worth of preparation for the dinner as if it was your marriage dinner. well— it’s just as important, and you don’t know how the said saturday arrived so quickly because you’re standing in front of your closet, looking for the perfect dress.
you have to be going insane. even the new one you bought recently suddenly looks like the ugliest fit you’ve ever had.
you wonder if you should cancel, postpone, and then almost slap yourself back to senses.
no cancellations. you've been waiting for this dinner religiously.
after digging through your closet like you’re going to find gold, you finally end up with something. well, at least it’s new and compliments your skin tone. at least, it looks perfect with your favourite pendant and that is all the confidence you need to go through this dinner.
an hour later, you’re standing nervously in front of his door, fixing any creases on your dress with urgency and nervousness. there’s a box of pineapple shortcakes in one hand for jiyu and a bottle of pinot noir in another. google said it’s a perfect choice for romantic dinners— something about its light body and earthy tones— not like you are expecting anything to happen, by the way.
you press the doorbell, anxiously shifting from leg to the other, biting your inner cheeks. and as if on cue, jay opens the door with a warm smile that makes your face heat up.
“hi,” is all you’re able to say because well, the way he is looking at you is making your mouth run dry. the navy blue cardigan hugs his frame loosely and his hair is no longer styled back. the strands float above his eyes like a veil and you find yourself aching to brush them away to get a clearer look at those dreamy eyes and drown in them.
you’ve only ever seen him in poised suits and rolled up dress shirts with loosened ties, it has made you forget that he definitely doesn’t only wear formals. and frankly, he looks much better in casuals, so much that you’ve come to two conclusions :
first, jay looks way too good in cardigans for your heart health. you might as well get a heart attack at the sight.
and second, you need this date to get somewhere. hopefully, the pinot noir will do its job.
“hi,” he steps aside, gesturing to you to come in. “you should come inside— i’m almost done,”
and it feels surreal to be in his apartment, his place.
it’s nothing like yours and everything like a home that belongs to a family. there are photo frames of him and jiyu in every corner, even on the kitchen island next to the flower vase. her crayon drawings cover the entire fridge door and of course, there is hello kitty on mugs, posters.
the best of all, the entire place smells like a mouth watering cuisine as you see him return to the kitchen. you try your best to not ogle at the food like you haven’t eaten in a hundred years. “anything i can help with?”
“no need, i’m almost done,”
you stand across him, putting the cake and wine on the counter, watching his perfect hands flip the steak over with practiced precision. the sizzle only adds to your appetite. “i don’t mind helping, really,”
“well, you can just sit there and look pretty for me,” he doesn’t even know where these words are coming from.
both of you are equally flustered, barely meeting gazes before they flutter away. you sit on the stool at the counter, right across him, getting the best view of his handsome face glowing like a gem underneath the warm kitchen lights.
“okay,” you let the silence engulf both of you in the comfort of its embrace. it’s not awkward anymore, the faint smiles on both of your lips speaking for the lack of words. “where’s jiyu?”
he looks up from the grill, meeting your beautiful eyes. “with the neighbour’s kid. they suddenly wanted to have a sleepover,”
he says those words with an unamused sigh, still smiling, turning up the flame.
sneaky little thing.
not only she set both of you up for this thank you dinner but she also ran off to her friend’s. sleepover was an excuse, he knew that the second she approached him with puppy dog eyes and a pleading pout to manipulate him. she knows he can never say no to her when she looks at him like that.
well, he is thankful, even after she embarrassed him in front of you. he is glad that his little, matchmaker of a daughter pulled some tricks or else, he would still be sending you tiffins full of baked goodies and cute notes written by her.
you watch him set the plates and fetch the wine glasses. it feels like the perfect date night, better than any five star restaurant can offer, and the cute bowls and mugs on the shelves behind him only make everything better.
“so, what else do you do, aside from being a full-time dad— and watching my videos, obviously?” you ask with a teasing smile, feeling more confident than you were a week ago.
and jay groans visibly, ears flushing red almost immediately. of course, you are bringing that up, he wants to disappear into thin air. “please forget that. jiyu has no filter,”
you fold your hands over the counter with a huff. “and i’m glad she doesn’t. i don’t think you would have told me you’re a fan otherwise,”
and boy, jay was a whole air conditioner in fact.
he would spend his evenings watching your baking videos and his nights were filled with shy grins under the duvet, thinking about the way you had smiled at him at the school pickup.
he would never say it to anyone— it’s so embarrassing, he hides his face in the mattress whenever he thinks of it at night, but he has spent days admiring you from afar, watching you interact with kids and their parents. he would sit in his car and try to calm his heart down, hoping he manages to say something more than a hello and a thank you.
he even feels a tinge of jealousy at the sight of you laughing with the kids and kissing their cheek, as insane as it sounds.
will you ever kiss me?
his knees go wobbly at the thought and he almost smiles to himself, forgetting you’re sitting right in front of him. he ( and his daughter ) has already done enough damage to his cool and sauve image in front you, he definitely doesn’t want you to run away because you think of him as some mad man giggling to himself.
he can feel your gaze follow every single motion of his hand, the way he scatters pepper over the butter and thyme in the pan before stirring in the shallots. it’s like a game, he feels a sense of victory knowing he has you hooked— and it’s true. you have watched countless people cooking the most delicious meals in their own magnificent ways, but nothing was ever as hypnotic as him, nothing even comes close.
he carefully flambé’s the shallots in brandy and flame until it dies down, unlike the one in your chest that only ignites further when he gives you a charming smirk from across the stove. your face heats up and you don’t know if it’s because of him or the warmth of the kitchen, you don’t bother answering that question to yourself.
with a few more steps that felt like watching a magician in his show, you had the perfect steak diane served drizzled with sauce in front of you. “hope you enjoy,”
you were going to enjoy it.
the plate looks like it’s straight out of a cooking magazine, the wine that he pours on the side only elevating the taste of the whole meal. you wait for him to join you and he sits in front of you with expectant eyes waiting for your review. you’ve seen this movie before, the same pupils gleaming with anticipation and excitement. you almost feel compelled to give jiyu extra stars when she looks at you the same way as he is right now, and you think it’s only valid to give him stars too.
you slice the steak with your knife and take a bite, immediately melting onto the table itself. “this is so—” gosh, you hear him chuckle when you try to speak through a mouthful of food. you decide that it doesn’t even matter anymore. “—amazing,”
he smiles at your words and digs in— honestly, you’re too busy savouring the taste of steak and shallots to even pay attention to what he is doing. you came for the man, stayed for the food, it’s hard to believe he has all these skills hidden up his messily rolled sleeves on workdays.
the dinner is quiet, for the most part, save for the occasional clinking of cutlery and soft thank yous that he mutters to you for accepting his— or more accurately, jiyu’s— invitation. your legs accidentally touch under the table and he immediately averts his gaze, cheeks shot red. he apologises, soft and shy, gulping down the sip of wine and his nervousness.
it’s cute, you hold yourself back from reaching out and placing your hand on his. if it wasn’t for hesitation coursing through your veins, you might have done it already, and perhaps he would have too.
maybe it’s the wine but you find yourself unable to take your eyes off him— not like you had it any better before. the way he fills up your wine glass with politeness adoring his every move has you in a trance. you’ve noticed all those business awards and the ‘best dad’ certificate on the wall that was made by jiyu herself. he checks all the boxes— the perfect employee to the perfect dad, and a perfect man.
your words stand confirmed all over again when you step aside to use the restroom after dinner and by the time you get back, he is already putting the dishes in the sink after cleaning up the kitchen, and he is effortlessly quick with it too.
you do lose your mind over those broad shoulders and tiny waist, it’s making you feel all tingly in the chest and stomach. and after spending several minutes admiring him from behind, you find the courage to stand right next to him. “let me help,”
and it’s like you’ve said something controversial because jay is looking at you wide eyed and raised brows with disbelief written all over his face. “please, you don’t have—”
“i insist,”
the silence overtakes again.
your gazes meet and he shifts awkwardly, accidentally brushing his arm against yours, and suddenly his spacious modular kitchen feels too small for even two people. his ears turn red but he doesn’t look away and neither do you.
his eyes scan your face, then travel down to your lips before coming back at your face, and none of you look away. maybe, the pinot noir is doing it’s job. maybe, things are getting somewhere—
and then he shifts away, clearing his throat. “okay,”
honestly, jay is freaking out.
he doesn’t know how he is still standing next to you and breathing normal and not screaming while crashing out on the floor. you give him a cute smile every time he looks down at you and god, it is making him want to hold your face in his shaky hands and cry his eyes out.
it all feels so domestic, like you belong here, right next to him. nobody would have expected you both to be washing dishes on your first ( unofficial, self-proclaimed ) date. if he was any braver, he would have you right next to you on the couch with a movie playing on the tv screen. but, since he is far from anything mentioned above, he relishes in doing dishes with you.
and it’s heavenly, because the second your hand brushes against his under water in the sink, it’s like electricity running through his body and short circuiting his brain. he doesn’t know what to do— should he apologise? should he hold your hand? should he ignore and wait for it to happen again?
you aren’t even looking at him and continue to wash the same plate for the last ten minutes— not like he minds— and he wants to explode. that seems like the most plausible option at the moment.
the air is turning awkward again and he constantly taps his foot over the tile, finding words to break the silence. he watches you put the plate away before picking up the bowl, and he can’t help the next words that leave his mouth. “you’re good at this,”
great.
just amazing.
jay dies a little on the inside when you laugh at his words, the sound almost mocking his question. “at washing dishes?”
he wants to jump out of the window. billions of words in the english language and his mind came up with the worst four possible right now. he needs to save himself somehow. “yeah, you’re uh— skilled,”
stop.
just shut up.
you’re laughing at him, and of course you would be. you probably think he is the stupidest person to exist, even the kids at the kindergarten might be smarter than him. he doesn’t even trust himself to say something better anymore. when you’re this close to him, all his senses are destroyed.
you reach out to push a loose strand of hair back with your forearm, and he reaches out to wipe his hand almost instinctively before tucking your hair behind your ear. his hand stays there for a while like it’s a scene straight out of a romance show, his eyes refusing to leave your surprised ones.
his focus averts to your lips again, the way you nip at it nervously only makes it harder for him to think straight. he considers leaning in— it’s barely a few inches. but he steps back, and his touch lingers over your skin even after he pulls away.
he’s still thinking about it while scooping ice cream for two. you look so pretty leaning against the kitchen island and taking in every detail with utmost care, it makes him freeze by the refrigerator with two bowls of ice cream in his hands.
“here,” you smile when he hands you one, and jay stares at you with keen eyes as you take a spoonful in your mouth. it’s strawberry, too sweet for his liking, but jiyu mentioned once that you like strawberries and he hopes it’s your preference in ice creams too.
“what?” he doesn’t realise he’s staring until you call him out, and he smacks himself internally for getting lost in you again, not like he can help it.
“nothing just…” words trail off while he rubs his nape for a decent answer, looking at the shelves as if begging for help. “i, uh, hope you like that flavour,”
that was good.
“it’s good,” you say with a smile so sweet, it makes the ice cream taste bland. “but i prefer cookies and cream,”
and for some reason, that brings a smile to his face too. cookies and cream— so much like you, yet nothing that he could have guessed. well, it’s just the first dinner together and you’re like a box of surprises that he wishes to unwrap slowly and carefully, only seeing what you’re willing to show.
“i’ll remember that for the next time,” and it’s more of a promise than a statement. there is s a wishful certainty for a next time for something in the way you’re looking at him tells him that you want it to happen too.
you’re enjoying the ice cream in silence and he’s enjoying the sight of you, but again, what’s new? you look up at him again, glowing ever so perfectly under the yellow lights hanging from the ceiling. every single feature on your face shines like gold, and jay doesn’t know where all this bravery is coming from but he finds himself inching towards you.
he takes it slow, hesitant in his own actions. it’s like he’s waiting for your reaction, anything more than just your eyes landing on his lips before moving away. he wouldn’t mind if you choose to leave, despite the heartbreak, but when you turn to face him with the same look, he knows he has you for now.
it’s like the air shifts around you and suddenly, the lack of space doesn’t feel so bad. “can i?”
“i thought you’d never ask,” you nod— it’s all jay needs to know.
the next second, his lips are on yours, barely moving. he’s still unsure, wondering if you are too, if you want to pull away. but when you don’t— when you give in and press your lips against his, leaning into him— he feels like he can breathe again.
he puts his bowl away and takes yours to do the same, hands immediately going around your waist to pull you flush against him. you’re backed against the counter and he is somewhere between losing himself in the thrill and keeping himself grounded.
the kiss deepens, he lets you lead and his lips follow yours, slow yet insistent. you pull at his cardigan and he cups your cheeks ever so tenderly, wanting to get lost in you and never find a way out. it’s dizzying, the way your hands rest on the back of his neck, the way he can almost feel your heartbeat against his chest and the way it is almost in sync with his.
he smells like oud and something you can’t name but it’s clouding your senses and everything feels so right. his hand trails down the curve of your waist like he’s worshipping you and your breath hitches when he draws you even closer, if it was even possible.
jay pulls away a little, his forehead against yours. he takes in your sight— lips red while you’re breathing in short huffs. it feels like he’s falling for you all over again. “i’ve been waiting to do that for so long,”
“me too,” and your words are like a wave of relief pulling him in as he captures your lips in another kiss. it’s more playful this time, he can feel you smiling while your hands ghost up his neck and travel down to intertwine with his.
he still cannot believe this is real, and even if it’s not he doesn’t want it to stop. although, it does when you give him a few more pecks before pulling back with a grin, as if proud of the needy pout on his lips.
“stay for the night?” he murmurs, still cupping your cheeks. he tries to hold back, but ends up pecking your lips anyway. “it’s raining outside anyway. i’m not letting you drive in this weather,”
and you nod, pressing yet another peck against his lips as you bring his arm to circle around your waist. “only if you make pancakes for breakfast,”
ㅤ◞ ⩊ ◟ㅤ — hi to everyone who read this omg i love you with my entire heart ◜ᯅ◝ i think the writing process here started good and then turned into something. i hope it wasn’t obvious that i just wanted to get over with this by the last section lolsies .. anyway single dad jay you will always be loved
YAY A NEW &TEAM WRITER!!! I love your writing so much so I wanted to send a short fic request!!!
Ok like imagine yuma x reader who are rivals and they’re hatefucking trying to make the other person cum first but it ends up being more of a try not to be the one to cum first typa thing and because they’re so competitive with massive egos it goes on forever to the point where they’re both losing their minds 👹
A/N: ZAYUMMMMM I SEE YOU!!!! If I may, I'm turning this into a headcanon/blurb. I don't write full fics upon request since I'm working on so many fics already. Cheers, and MDNI!!!
Pair: Idol!Nakakita Yuma x AFAB!Reader
Genre: Idol!AU, 18+ smut. Straight up PW(ith a teeny bit of)P. Typical Yuma shenanigans, lowkey kind of mean, some (tame) name-calling, p-in-v (missionary, spooning). Uhhhhh I think that's it.
To say that you and Yuma have never gotten along would be...an understatement.
You're not even quite sure where it started. By all means, you should get along. You're both highly trained dancers, and you trained at the same company. Hell, you used to train together! Perhaps it's a matter of ego; somewhere along the way, your pride became too grand for your own heads, and — as is usually the case with hubris — it manifested in some...not-so friendly ways.
It's not like you despise each other. You can be reasonable, as long as he's playing nice, and he can get his act together when he needs to. Outside of that, though...
Putting it simply, he pisses you off. You know he likes it, the sick fuck, which is why you tend to avoid him at all costs. It's already a misfortune to have his voice in your head while you're knuckle-deep in your own heat (as much as you try to think of someone else. Anyone else.), but having his actual voice in your ear while you're trying to stretch is just another thing to add to your shitlist.
And, as you've come to find out, it's even worse when he's actually fucking you.
"You're so fucking bad," Yuma pants, his head dropping into the crook of your neck with a low groan. "Always tryin' to tell me what to do, how to move...That's my job, not yours."
"Maybe if you actually followed the guide and did what you were supposed to — you know, had a little self-control — I wouldn't have to say anything." The way you clench around him is anything but unintentional — he knows it is, because you grin at how he swears. "Maybe they'd stop picking me over you."
Suddenly, Yuma's unrelenting pace slows, and he just...stares. "Excuse me?"
For once, you've managed to shut him up, and damn if it doesn't make something in your heart soar. You wind your legs around his waist and shrug. "You heard me."
His eyes narrow, and despite the fact that his iris and pupil are nearly the exact same color, his eyes somehow become darker. His pace stops completely, and for a fleeting moment, Yuma actually feels threatening, in a way. Not in that untouchable way, but as if his presence switched from hovering to looming. "What are you trying to say, exactly?"
Despite the hint of a threat in his tone, you continue to revel in your newfound sense of control, cocking your head with a lazy smile. "I'm saying, Nakakita," — you grab the back of your neck and pull him closer — "that I'm better than you."
You've barely finished your sentence before Yuma's pulled out all the way, slamming back into you with a new fervor that makes you choke. Okay, maybe you shouldn't have spurred him on in the moment, but it's not like you're wrong, right?
At a high-pitched whine, Yuma snarls. "You think you're above me, huh? You really think that when I'm fucking you like this?" Suddenly, you're both moving, and he's got you on your side while he drills into you. "Not gonna be so cocky when you cum first, you jerk."
Now that he's not trembling from the effort of holding himself up, Yuma has the access to fuck you even deeper, faster — the kind of sex that has you gritting your teeth in order not to cry out, trying to clench and roll back in retaliation.
And, like most things...this goes on for hours.
Hours. Like, to the point where you're both confused, and Yuma's nails dig into your hips from how hard he's attempting not to give into your warmth.
By 1am, your venom-laced words have died into gasps and whimpers of complaint, and his are simply stray babbles and swears that you can barely even register. Yuma stays behind you, but his face is hidden into your shoulder, and you're clinging to something — anything — that will keep you from cumming.
"F-Fuck," he stutters, hips jerking erratically. "So fuckin' stupid, dumb on my dick, need you to come now, please, sweetness, gimme it—"
Somewhere within yourself, you protest. Somewhere, you stick your nose up and scoff loudly. But that's inside, and you can't do anything, so for the first time in your five years of knowing him, you do the unthinkable:
You listen.
And, damn, does Yuma fall apart right then and there. He can't help it; he loves you you just feel too good to do anything else.
warnings: smut! mdni. possessive boyfriend! maki. headcanons + written fic, making out, p in v (use protection folks!!), dirty talk, jerking off, use of pet names
a/n: second smut of my career lmaoo i trued something different with this one and i’m not sure what i think about it just yet T^T it starts off kinda slow but gets better as we go on i promise… anyways, feedback is much appreciated!!
possessive boyfriend! maki who knew from the first moment he saw you walk through the doors to harua’s apartment that he wanted you to be his and his only.
possessive boyfriend! maki whose gaze hasn’t left you for the entire hangout - enthralled by your beauty, eyes glued to your face, your body, your hair, all while intently listening to every word you say like it’s the most important thing in the world.
possessive boyfriend! maki who begged harua to give him your number: and when he finally did, he wasted no time and texted you straight away. there is no nonchalant bone in this boy’s body - he just couldn’t help but feel drawn to you, and had to act upon those urges, asking you out on a date right away, ecstatic when he saw you agree.
possessive boyfriend! maki who asked you to be his girlfriend so fast, his friends thought he was joking when he told them - even more surprised when he stated that you’d actually happily agreed.
possessive boyfriend! maki who can’t help but get so incredibly turned on by everything that you do: from the way you smile with excitement when you talk about something you love to the way you sulk whenever something doesn’t go your way. he has to cover up the way his cock strains against his pants at first - not wanting to make you uncomfortable as your relationship’s still quite fresh, but still getting that overwhelming feeling settling in his stomach that he wants to keep these smiles of yours only to himself.
possessive boyfriend! maki whose possessiveness gets more apparent as time goes on - his hands always on you, especially in public places, eyes glaring daggers into anyone who stood a little too close, tried being a little too friendly with you even though he was right there. all of that resulted in you going out less and less, opting to spend your evenings in yours or his apartment instead: and you didn’t mind. he was your boyfriend, after all - your favourite person to spend your time with.
possessive boyfriend! maki whose cock seemed to have a mind of his own, the bulge straining against his sweats over something as simple as you showing him a dress you wanted to buy - the image of you in it popping up in his head instantly, blood rushing to his throbbing member just as fast. next thing you know, he’s coming over with a shopping bag and that same dress in it: but truth be told, he’d never let you wear it out, wanting to keep that sight all to himself.
possessive boyfriend! maki who can’t help jerking off, cock violently thrusting in his fist as he imagines it sliding in and out your folds at a steady pace, hands gripping your thighs as he fucks you from behind - slapping your ass as you cry out under him that you’re his and his only. and oh god, the thought of you saying these words alone makes him come in no time.
possessive boyfriend! maki who shoots angry glares left and right whenever you’re out, his grip on your waist tightening - it’s not your fault that you’re so incredibly pretty, but who are these motherfuckers to stare at you like that? they don’t deserve to be blessed with your presence, only he does: he’s the only one who’s deserving of you, only one who can make you feel oh so good.
possessive boyfriend! maki who arranges the fanciest dinner imaginable for your first year anniversary, but he just can’t help himself when he sees you in the outfit you chose for the night - a beautiful backless dress, hugging all of your curves just right. a switch flips inside his brain almost instantly: and all he can think of is staying home with you, savouring your beauty.
possessive boyfriend! maki who manages to talk you into staying home instead - hands squeezing your hips as he stands behind you, eyes admiring your figure in the mirror, breath fanning over your ear. he’s so close you can feel the warmth radiating off of his skin: and you can definitely feel the bulge straining against his tuxedo pants.
‘let’s stay home, yeah?’ maki hummed, his fingers gently grazing your skin from your hips upwards, his touch lingering at the straps of the dress. ‘you just look so pretty… too pretty. don’t want anyone else to see my beautiful girl like this.’
you sighed, the smell of his cologne almost dizzying, his touch heating your body up in no time. your eyes met his in the mirror - hungry, full of desire and passion, almost as if he was holding back from devouring you right then and there. his lips stayed dangerously close to your ear, his breath hot against your skin.
‘so beautiful.’ he whispered, fingers toying with the straps, eyes not leaving your figure even for a second. his face somehow leaned in even closer; lips meeting your neck, peppering it with small, teasing kisses. ‘mesmerising. and all mine.’
your breath hitched in your throat as he continued his actions - kisses trailing down your neck and shoulder, one of his hands gently grazing your thighs. his touches were featherlike, so light they drove you insane: your patience growing thin with each touch, each time his fingers lingered a little too close where you needed him.
‘this dress is so, so pretty.’ he murmured, eyes flickering down to your curves before going back up to your eyes, a grin tugging at his lips as he noticed that his actions were already having an effect on you: your face warming up, tips of your ears reddening. ‘i’d love to take it off of you and see my girl’s beautiful body, though. is that alright with you, angel?’
you nodded fast, almost too fast for someone trying to seem unaffected by his actions, and maki couldn’t help but chuckle, the low sound sending a wave of heat down your body. his fingers toyed with the dress and its straps for a while longer, almost teasingly, but in truth, he couldn’t help himself any longer.
maki slowly slipped the straps off your shoulders - the dress falling off your figure in one swift motion, leaving you only in your lingerie, a set which he didn’t recognise.
and, good god, it drove him over the edge, cock twitching in his pants, eyes roaming over your almost naked body with a newfound hunger.
he turned you around, crashing your lips against yours, hand struggling to loosen up his tie just enough to take it off, breaking the kiss for a second to do just that before latching his lips onto yours once more. the kiss was passionate, with a roughness to it you hadn’t yet seen from maki - a low groan leaving his throat, tongue licking along your lower lip to deepen the kiss even more.
you worked on the buttons of his shirt, messily unbuttoning them one by one, desperate to take it off of him, to feel his naked torso under your fingertips. and yet it proved to be a task harder than expected: with his lips on your, his hands kneading your body and making you melt under his touch, it was almost impossible to focus on anything other than the pleasure he provided you with.
‘eager, aren’t we, my angel?’ maki hummed, lips leaving yours as he stared down at you, his shirt now half opened; giving you a glimpse of his toned chest, rising and falling at his heavy breathing. he pulled you towards him as he took a few steps back towards your bed - sitting down on it’s edge and helping you position yourself on his lap. his hands found their way onto your hips, giving them a gentle squeeze. you could feel his cock, throbbing with anticipation, rubbing against your panties: the material wet with your slick, courtesy of your boyfriend and his ability to make you turned on with merely a few touches.
your fingers still struggled with his buttons, finally working their way to the last one, freeing his torso from any form of clothing. your eyes trailed down; hungry, drinking up the sight in front of you.
his grip on your hips tightened as he moved your hips against his, keeping a tantalisingly slow pace as the friction of your almost bare pussy against the material of his pants drove you insane, soft gasps leaving yours lips - you needed more.
‘pretty little thing.’ he mumbled, continuing his movements, planting small kisses down your neck, stopping to ghost his lips over your ear. ‘so, so pretty. and all mine.’
‘all yours, maki.’ you sighed out and it seemed enough to drive your boyfriend over the edge: a groan leaving his lips, arms flexing as he lifted you up from his lap and put you down onto the bed. he didn’t miss the frown growing on your lips as he did so. that expression didn’t last long, though - eyes sparkling with desire the moment you noticed him unzipping his pants, sliding them off his body along with his boxers in one go.
his cock sprung free, rock hard, its head deliciously glistening with precum. maki couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing your expression - his ego growing even more, possessiveness reaching new heights.
you were just as obsessed with him as he was with you. that thought made him even more feral.
‘maki, please.’ you pleaded, voice quiet as you stared up at your boyfriend. ‘need you.’
‘fuck. my pretty angel.’ he mumbled, getting back on the bed, eyes roaming all over your body as he hovered over you - one arm holding himself steady above you as his other hand grazed down your body, touches light as it slid lower and lower, so slow it was almost teasing.
normally, he’d start slow: eat you out, all while his fingers rubbed slow circles on your clit. he’d take his time savouring your taste, making you cum over and over before finally pleasuring himself too. but this time, with your beautiful body sprawled under him, your voice needy and eyes almost glossy with desire? he just couldn’t help himself - he had to please his favourite girl.
he lined himself up before sliding in slowly, carefully, almost as if he was afraid to ruin you. the stretch was dizzyingly delicious - a quiet cry of pleasure leaving your lips, your boyfriend making sure to give you time to adjust to his size before moving.
maki’s thrusts quickly caught a steady pace: head leaning down to kiss you once more, muffling your moans and gasps as his lips worked against yours, hips pounding rhythmically.
‘so beautiful.’ he murmured against your lips, his free hand coming up to knead your breasts, earning a satisfied whine out of you. ‘all mine, right? need you to say it, angel.’
he stopped all his movements for a second - waiting, eyes flickering from your lips down to your figure then right back up to your face.
‘yours maki. forever yours.’
the growl he let out upon hearing you was almost guttural, hips snapping up with newfound speed and harshness, fucking up into you, hitting that sweet spot only he could reach. his movements were messier now, almost as if he was thinking with his cock only - dead set in bringing both you and himself the long awaited release you both so desperately needed.
‘gonna cum soon, huh?’ maki could feel how you clenched around him, breaths becoming quicker and more shallow, voice growing louder with each thrust of his hips. ‘all thanks to me, hm? i’m- fuck. i’m close, too.’
maki’s movements somehow sped up even more - which you thought was physically impossible - and soon enough you felt the wave of pleasure coming over your entire body, thighs trembling violently as you reached your peak. it wasn’t long before he came, too: pulling out at the last second, spurts of his cum coating your stomach and boobs in an almost artistic splatter before he plopped right next to you, head hitting the pillows with a soft thump.
the two of you laud there in silence for a while, your hand finding his as your fingers intertwined together.
maki was the first to speak up.
‘should i run you a bath, my angel?’ he asked, propping himself on his elbow as he turned to face you. ‘i’ll order us some food in the meantime.’
you nodded, leaning in to plant a kiss on your boyfriend’s lips before nodding in agreement.
safe to say the anniversary didn’t go as planned - but it was, undoubtedly, far better than the original idea.

race engineer! maki who's always saying the sweetest things to you when you're on track in the form of encouragement.
race engineer! maki who stares you up and down like he's so hungry for you especially when you're in your racing suit, the fabric sticking to your body perfectly, accentuating your plush boobs and sculpted ass. him making his feelings so obvious for you was insane as it is, but also so subtle that nobody else knew.
race engineer! maki who smirks as you climb into your vehicle, sending you a wink and making it look not so flirty, but it churns your insides.
race engineer! maki, whose voice you love oh so much that you can't even concentrate on the race sometimes. he lowers his voice on purpose on the radio, especially while giving you directions which you had no chance but to obey on the track, making him feel powerful. "you must switch to plan B y/n, like i briefed you earlier." you could almost feel the vibrations of his tone run down your spine.
race engineer! maki who speaks into the radio in a way that makes you grind down onto your seat, even while maintaining extreme speed, riling you up even more as he says 'good girl' when you follow his orders well. he chuckles as you sigh at his praises, him knowing damn well those weren't the sighs from exhaustion.
race engineer! maki who comes out to hug you after every race, whispering praises into your ear, making them known to only you, the hug seeming much more intimate than it is supposed to be, dripping with desire.
race engineer! maki who always accompanies you to your after parties, his point being that he needs to keep you safe from the outside world, while both of you are well aware of his intentions.
✴
rival driver! taki who pisses you off so much to the point, even looking at him makes you so fucking irritated. he just never seems to want to get along with you, always mocking, teasing and finding ways to piss you off on purpose. taki loves dumping all the champagne on you whenever you rank on the podium below him, either second or third, making it seem like it was out of spite but he just liked seeing you drenched.
rival driver! taki who's secretly always, i mean always looking for you wherever you are, the track, the waiting rooms and everywhere else, claiming he just wanted to piss you off.
rival driver! taki who's sure he hates you but somehow finds his heart and body burning whenever your race engineer acts subtly intimate with you. he wanted you to himself. a part of him denied the fact but his chest acting against his will made him go insane.
rival driver! taki who somehow always finds you at after parties, claiming that all the other tables were full or full of people he hated (he says you're tolerable when he pisses you off and you get mad.)
rival driver! taki that observes every silent touch that the race engineer gives you, his eyes turning dark with hatred. he hates maki with a burning passion. he sees it, he watches every minute touch that seems oh so innocent when it's nothing close to it. It's almost like he can see the lust at maki's fingertips as they grace your body where they're not supposed to.
rival driver! taki that gets concerned and looks around the entire venue when you slip out of his sight for a few seconds. he walks around the room, making small talks with guests, making his search for you look natural.
rival driver! taki that hears intimate commotion from behind the tallest bushes as he steps into the farthest edges of the garden behind the venue, only to realise they were just sinful sounds that left your mouth because of your race engineer.
rival driver! taki who tries to fight his urge to barge in and stop whatever was going on, but doesn't notice his own dick twitching at the thought of you and your race engineer fucking.
rival driver! taki who pulls out his thick cock hesitantly, stroking it gently as he barely leans against a weak branch of a tree, on the other side of the bushes, desperately trying to not make his presence obvious.
✴
race engineer! maki whose hearing is extremely perfect, hears the muffled and strained to hide moans of a certain someone as he pumps his fingers in and out of you so skillfully. he doesn't stop despite knowing that you have a cuck right next to you, feeling powerful as he knows he ignites the guy's jealousy, loving the fact that he's so pathetic right now.
race engineer! maki who uses this opportunity to utilise his skills to completely wreck you, his desire and lust fueled by a spectator. he laps at your pussy oh so needily after you coat his digits with your juices as you came, just by his fingers marking their measure inside you.
race engineer! maki who flips you around ruthlessly, lining himself at your entrance as he presses soft as fuck kisses onto your shoulders, his hands finding way to knead your breasts. taking his sweet lovely time to enter you, he stretches you out on his big, thick cock, making you feel the burn in you gut, unraveling your entire being.
race engineer! maki who moans out loud on purpose, despite being out in the open, just to show taki, just to rub it in his face that he had you beneath him, shaking on his cock, tears running down your face as your pussy struggles to envelope his heavy dick, feeling all the pleasure in the world.
race engineer! maki who is hellbound on making you lose all senses as he makes you whimper and moan, harsh spanks landing on both of your asscheeks as he drags his teeth all across your back leaving deep purple marks all over. his mind struggles to decide between letting you moan out loud as he fucks you numb and shoving his fingers inside your mouth so that nobody else can hear your pretty fucking sounds, as if the ones that your pussy was making weren't already enough.
race engineer! maki who chuckles as his cock pumps harder and harder into you, the filthiest sounds erupting as his balls clash against your thighs and his skin slaps against yours harshly, your pussy squelching loudly at every movement. he never fails to notice the clench of your sweet pussy around his cock every time he lets out moans and speaks dirty to you, knowing how fucking wet your get at his voice.
race engineer! maki who, despite knowing the presence of another person, doesn't let you know until he's had his way with you, knowing you'd be too fucked out to notice anything at all. he makes you come wildly, his fingers circling your clit and his dick pounding into you, his other hand holding your entire body up by your neck, restraining your breath a little bit.
race engineer! maki who slightly slaps your clit as you orgasm while your body is being utterly destroyed underneath him, to the point you can't even feel yourself anymore.
race engineer! maki who speaks dirty to you, mentioning the cuck who has been listening to every sound that you ever made.
"you know doll? there's a certain someone, getting off to all the pretty noises that your pussy has been making for me." he presses his face against your neck, his tongue flicking over your outed ear. "he's jerking himself off like a pathetic loser, knowing he'd never get to fuck you." he chuckles.
you sensed it. you somehow sensed who it was. you didn't expect it. you couldn't see it coming from miles away when he mocked you, when he pushed your buttons to the maximum, ticking you off every single time.
race engineer! maki who never makes you feel like a rag doll, despite fucking you like one, as he presses soft kisses to your back, your shoulders, temples and neck. his kisses trail down from your temple to your cheeks, jaw and neck, utterly soft and caring as his breath hits your skin, hot and needy while he whispers words of love into your ears.
"you know who that is, doll. call out his name." he clutches your throat harder, choking you just enough and slowing his pace down, letting you settle for a bit. just because he's not fucking you like a toy right now, changed nothing. you could feel your pussy clenching around him, begging for more. his hand reaches your cheek from your throat, landing a soft slap next to your mouth, asking you to follow his orders. "taki?" you called for him gently.
rival driver! taki who now heard his name escape your pretty, pretty lips, allowed himself to get lost in his ungodly feels, snapping his hips into his fist faster than before, moans leaving his lips as a response. his chest heaves as he almost reaches his climax. he felt pathetic, pitiful even, as he almost came just by you calling his name. his breaths get heavier, moans leaving his now dry throat from his jaw slacking for quite a long time. but he couldn't cum, not yet.
race engineer! maki who feels so powerful in this situation, fastens his pace as he pushes his cock further and further with each pound, your body jerking forward with such force that your hands give up on supporting your body, maki holding you up with his single hand that wrapped around your chest, your tits flush against his forearm. your nipples against his veins made you feel so sensitive and the way he was fucking your brains out, left you so feeble and helpless.
"don't hold yourself back, yn. just say my name. say that fucking loser's name as well." him calling you by your name made you gasp and respond back with the most unholy sounds ever. the sounds of his cock slamming into your cunt laced with taki's pretty soft whimpers pushed you to your edge. you let yourself loose, the knot in your stomach ready to snap any second. you could sense maki's strength faltering as well, as his dick twitches inside you, indicating his potential release. he didn't pull back. your moans grew desperate at the thought of him filling you up, especially in the presence of taki.
race engineer! maki who buries his head into your neck, his chin resting over your shoulder and your back flush against his chest, feels his cock throb inside you, begging for a release. a series of curses and moans leave his lips which were now plump as a result of his teeth digging into them every single time your pussy clenched around him.
he releases ropes of cum into your hole, painting every corner of your womb white, letting out a guttural moan, loud enough for anyone within a five meter radius to hear it loud and clear. he stays buried in you, pushing further and further into you, unable to get enough of your pussy that perfectly moulded his cock. the pressure finally makes you snap as your orgasm floods over you, your pussy convulsing around his dick, making him whimper as you shake in his arms, your body completely giving up on any ounce of strength it had left.
rival driver! taki who edges himself as you both cum at your respective pace, holding himself back to witness every single moment between the two of you, his ego not allowing him to miss out on anything. as soon as he hears you fall apart, his fist moves faster until he squeezes the orgasm out of himself, making the most sinful noises. taki sounded like a loser in heat, which you never expected out of him, especially for you. each one of yours' whimpers now filled the air as you rested against maki's back, him helping you up, his cock still buried in you, as you both enjoy listening to taki's soft breaths mimicking yours', all of you feeling content with the roller coaster that went about.
