NEW RANT ACC :P
rant acc!! @ellierantsabtthefandomstheylike
dennis whitaker gives the sloppiest fucking head and it's not even his fault. he just takes it. takes it sooo well, eyes big and blue and hazy, so pretty when they glisten with tears. cheeks flushed strawberry, drool shining on his reddened, stretched out lips, slipping down his chin.
robby likes to use, and dennis likes to be used. he doesn't bob his head, doesn't make any effort other than sucking and minding his teeth, relaxing his throat. just a warm, wet hole for robby to fuck into, big hands clutching at his curls, tugging at the roots, making dennis whine and moan around robby's cock. just the right amount of pain for it to melt into pleasure, add to the fuzziness in his head, the throb in his hips.
robby pants, groans ragged, filth a constant stream as he fucks into dennis's tight, perfect throat. yeahh, fuck, you like being my little fucktoy? just a nice cocksleeve for daddy to use? jeeesus, take it so goddamn well, made for it. all you're good for, isn't it? a set of warm holes for me to fuck into. attaboy, there you go, fuck, take it... just take it, baby boy, aaalll the way in... making a goddamn mess of yourself, puppy. such a dumb, helpless little thing. needed daddy to guide you, huh? ohh, I know. I know.
The Work Husband Clause
Pairing: Jack Abbot x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 2, 980
Summary: John Shen brings you a 48-ounce Dunkin' iced latte; fake marriage paperwork is discussed; and Jack Abbot discovers his girlfriend has a work husband.
Warnings: Established relationship, workplace teasing, jealous-but-not-really jealous Jack, Shen, and Reader being absolute menaces, fake marriage pact, excessive Dunkin, one deeply offensive sweet coffee beverage, no real angst.
Author’s Note: This is pure nonsense, and I love it. Jack is secure in his relationship, but unfortunately, his girlfriend and her work husband have paperwork, annual reviews, and a beverage vessel. Pray for him. Thank you @jennataurus for the idea!
Xoxo, Del
tease!reader x simon riley who is not having it
warnings: not proofread, maybe a wee bit ooc, reader is a tiny bit bratty, all smut no plot, thank you and goodnight
———
“please, ‘m sorry,” you slur for the hundredth time. tears wet your cheeks, soaking the mattress that your face is currently pressed into.
“i know, lovie. heard it the first time,” simon grunts, white-knuckle grip on your hips as he thrusts into you over and over.
you’d royally pissed him off during dinner by wearing that pretty little dress he begged you not to wear.
that one that made it impossible for him to be a civil human being. the one that had him palming his erection in the car on the way to the restaurant while you were sitting pretty in the passenger seat, teasing him my tugging the front down until he could see the lace of you bra.
you refused to touch him the car.
and under the table when he slipped into the booth beside you.
and in the car again after dinner.
you’ve never heard the man beg so much, so you gave him mercy the second his car pulled onto your street. you simply slid his hand that had been resting on your thigh under the hem of your dress.
simon took the olive branch, immediately slipping your panties to the side.
but the road was short, and before either of you could do anything more, simon was pulling into the driveway.
as he parked, he leaned over the center console, attacking your mouth with his and you let him. you leaned into the kiss, letting him have his fill until you started giggling into it.
then, you had pulled away and rushed into the house, leaving simon with a raging hard on and out of breath.
he chased after you, up the stairs and through the hall. heavy boots echoing behind you as you approached your shared bedroom. swinging the door open, you squealed when simon’s hand landed on your waist from behind.
he wasted no time in pushing you down onto the bed, shoving your pretty dress up and over your hips when all you could do was giggle.
it was short lived as simon dropped to his knees behind you, shoving his face into your panties. his nose bumped against your clothed clit, and you let out a whimper, shifting back into him.
your mind shifts back to the present, body jerking forward with each thrust of simon’s hips.
“simon!” you whimper, clutching at the linens. he lets out a laugh behind you, making your stomach flip when he sinks his cock impossibly deeper.
“use your words,” he mocks.
moaning, you try. you really really do.
but all that comes out is a strangled—
“jesus, fuck.”
simon snorts, driving his hips harder. “not quite, lovie, but it’ll do.” he reaches down, thrumming your clit under his thumb. with trembling thighs and airless lungs, you manage to choke out an exhausted plea.
“come on, lovie. i’ll be nice. let it out,” he teases, angling his hips until the delicious drag of his thick cock sends you reeling.
burying your face further into the mattress, you groan, pussy spasming around him as you come.
simon works you through it, finally relenting when you start crawling away from him.
“not gonna gimme the silent treatment anymore, right?”
“okay,” you pant out, eyes closed as you try to catch your breath. chuckling, simon pats your thigh and slips away to get a soft towel to clean you up.
dennis loves to suck robby's cock so much that it transcends just being a sexual attraction. he's so drawn to it and obsessed with it (and the man it's attached to) that there's no situation where he isn't craving the idea of stuffing it into his mouth and getting to work on it.
sure, he goes straight for it whenever he's horny, and robby's more than happy to have his pretty boy deepthroat him and send him to orgasm- but its so much more than that. dennis is sad? then he gets on his knees and suckles, knowing the warm weight and salty cum calm him down and cheer him up. he's tired? he flops between robby's legs and mouths over the head and slobbers over the shaft, drifting sleepily in contentment. dennis is angry and frustrated? nothing a good, hard suck can't fix.
he does it when he's bored, too. robby will be reading quietly and will see his boy padding towards him, looking downcast and idle. dennis will look at robby and give a deep sigh and blink his big blue eyes, and the older man will have his trousers unzipped and the fat cock in his hand immediately. anything to fill his boy's day with something enjoyable (and god, does dennis enjoy it).
it gets to the stage where robby is actively worried whenever dennis isnt between his legs and slurping away, assuming that he must be *really* upset to not gravitate to his cock. if denny's really lucky, he'll get to sleep between robby's legs for real (not just dozing), suckling away the whole time and unconsciously savouring the cum that occasionally blurted out.
robby loves to watch his boy busy himself by feasting on his dick. he'd call dennis a cock slut, a real desperate whore, if it wasn't for the fact dennis wasn't even horny most of the time. he just knew robby's cock in his mouth made him feel good, so there he stayed.
𓏵 ┊ play fighting with pope cody leads to primal play . 18+
it starts off as a game, the innocent kind of game where he softens his strength to let you win the rough-housing match. playfully throwing you around whenever he gets a full grasp on your body — even dragging you by the ankle, down to the foot of the bed causing your thin top to ride up and panties bunch between your ass.
you’re lying against the bed giggling, flipping onto your stomach with pope’s fingers still wrapping around your ankle before you’re crawling away from him. knees digging to the mattress with your palms giving you speed, helping you make it towards to the top of the bed.
“where’d you think you’re goin’, sweetheart.” and suddenly your can hear him right behind you, his monotone voice right against the shell of your ear whispering softly. “i’m running away,” you reply out of breath, still panting from all the wrestling as pope looms over your body, boxing you in.
a detailed breakdown of all the dirty things andrew's gf is going to do to him (and craig's internal breakdown at hearing them) (18+)
series masterlist
-
walking around the house was somewhat dangerous ever since you'd entered pope's (and craig's) life.
your presence was a commonality by then, which craig didn't mind too much. you were funny, chill, and most important of all, you were hot. craig let girls hang around for much less.
the unfortunate part was that you weren't just any girl.
you were pope's girl.
this meant that craig's hands (and eyes) needed to stay off you at all times.
Pope with a cutie patiootie frills and baby pink reader gf who absolutely don't play about her man. Five foot and some change in a frilly skirt and a hair bow but god forbid she sees anyone try to flirt with Andy before she's coming over to defend her territory like she's mike tyson
Andrew all cute n blushy holding miss reader back cuz she's tipsy and pissed and wants to fight this random girl that asked for his number at Deran's bar, more than a little flustered that he's getting such a reaction like helloooo you're a gorgy hunk why would i not get jealous...
Trying his best not to smile when reader is sat in his lap and all up in his business, arms looped round his neck, lipgloss smeared on her lips cause she's dedicated! to marking her territory but doesn't have great aim.
Teehee until its "you got a fuckin' problem with my man?" Ok toy chihuahua you can keep him!
MDNI +18
pope and his possessive girlfriend who he didn't really believe when she initially told him she had jealousy issues. it starts to come out in somewhat... subtle ways; slotting yourself into his side or onto his lap at any moment you feel like your territory is being threatened, leaving hair clips/ties in his car on purpose, or even wearing body glitter that will undoubtedly leave traces everywhere. it's not until craig makes a comment that you're marking your territory on pope like a dog does he seem more aware of it. craig points out to him that only a "crazy chick" leaves a trail of hickeys down neck that undoubtedly lead further down popes body then where he can see. by this point, there's really no stopping you and, frankly, pope didn't want to.
Steve has to check in with his friends on the reg in this post or they think he’s dead in a ditch because everyone genuinely thought he was at one point.
Steve kinda disappears off the face of the earth when everybody leaves for college.
It’s not intentional.
He just doesn’t have anything to add when everybody is talking about their new college lives. It’s easy to say nothing when nothing is happening.
And then he drives into a ditch.
He slides on black ice, loses control of his car, and goes over the edge. He tells no one.
He climbs out of the wreckage, manages to flag down a passing car, and spends the night in the hospital with another concussion. And he tells no one.
He couldn’t if he wanted to. His phone is in his car.
Meanwhile, Robin is realizing they she’s halfway through the semester and hasn’t talked to Steve in a while so she checks his location.
It looks like he’s parked off the side of a backroad. She figures his parents are home and he can’t take his date there. She puts her phone down and doesn’t pick it back up until morning and…Steve is in the same location.
She calls. No answer.
She gives it exactly thirty-three minutes and calls again. No answer.
She calls Dustin and he calls. No answer.
Eventually, Erica agrees to go to Steve’s location and…a tow truck is pulling his car out of a ditch.
She bikes to Steve’s house but no one is there because he moved out a month ago to a trailer in Forest Hills and told no one about it.
Everybody is panicking.
It accumulates in Hopper driving to Hawkins, getting his new address from Mr Clark, and showing up at his door.
Steve barely asks what he’s doing there before he’s crushed in a hug.
Now Steve has Instagram.
#Steve’s been doing the ‘don’t let people think you’re dead’ challenge ever since #He thinks Robin is a little ridiculous for involving hopper but turns out the whole party thought he killed himself #which is…a little unsettling tbh #also he now has to face Erica’s wrath for worrying her and that involved #dinner with the Sinclairs once a week until for til college #Steve: for til college? what kind of grammar is that? #Erica: you’re so uncultured it’s not even funny #Everybody is worried that Steve doesn’t have any first in Hawkins so he starts posting pictures of him and his neighbor #any friends** #and Eddie who is stalking Steve’s page is just: …that’s my uncle (via @morganbritton132)
Actually, v funny if Steve isn’t even friends with Wayne yet.
Dustin accidentally let it slip that everyone thinks Steve is lonely (kinda true) and that he has no friends in Hawkins (ouch), and they’re worried about him being alone all the time.
Steve doesn’t want his friends to worry about him so he starts…manufacturing friends.
He posts a pic of his meal at Enzo’s and implies in the caption that he was there with his coworkers. He posts a picture of multiple empty beer bottles and some chips on his coffee table and says it’s nice to have people over for the game.
He’s only ever had one conversation with his neighbor and it was about trash day. He’s not sure what the man’s name is, just that he likes to smoke on his porch. It’s easy enough to take a picture with him in the background and to add a caption that makes it seem like they’re hanging out together.
Is it a little pathetic? Yes. Definitely.
Will anyone find out that he’s lying? Probably not.
Modern AU where Steve periodically posts to Instagram because The Party keeps thinking he’s dead in a ditch in Hawkins if they go too long without hearing from him.
He’s not posting anything special - just a pic of his meal or a post-workout selfie - but some guy with millions of followers likes everything he post. Steve doesn’t even know this guy.
He mentions it to Dustin once when he was home from college for the weekend, and Dustin is like, “Is your page public? Why are random people looking at your page?”
“I don’t know,” Steve says. “They keep changing everything. I barely know how the damn app works.”
“Let me see.”
Dustin takes his phones, taps the screen a few times, and then looks up, “This is the guy liking your stuff? This guy??”
“Yeah.”
“Eddie Munson,” Dustin clarifies. Steve nods. “Eddie Munson from Corroded Coffin is liking your stuff?”
Steve is just, “…Who?”
“Steve, my favorite band! I talk about this guy all the time!” Dustin exclaims and then calms into exasperation because, “He messaged you and you didn’t look at it??!”
“I didn’t know it had messenger.”
Robin, on their nightly FaceTime, spends ten minutes chastising Steve for unknowingly having a public instagram when he posts pictures of himself alone in very kidnappable places, “You’re going to be taken by that weirdo that likes all your pictures before me.”
“Oh, that’s Dustin’s friend,” Steve says. “That guy is like, in the marching band or something.”
“I’m almost certain that’s not what Dustin said to you,” She replies. “That guy looks like a vampire.”
“How do you know what he looks like?”
“You never looked at his page?!” She asks. “Steve, you need to know who is looking at your stuff!”
Meanwhile, Eddie has been following Robin on Tiktok almost as long as he’s been looking at Steve’s insta.
Once a month, Robin posts a Tiktok of her journey home from college for a weekend.
The video goes from train to plane, to bus, to a little red door that she bust through, to Steve doing something weird. Every time.
The last video (posted one week ago) has Robin busting in to Steve’s house to himputting a condom on a banana.
You can’t see Robin but the look on her face is perfectly encapsulated in the wide-eyed surprise that Steve is giving back to her.
There’s a heavy pause before Steve finally says, “This is obviously not what it looks like.”
“Looks like you’re planning to shove a banana up your a-“
I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)
neighbor!simon riley and the mundane tasks he does to make things easier for you
when you first moved in, you were wary of the big, brute of a man that lived next door. you'd seen him, for the first time, taking his trash to the end of his driveway for the garbage truck to pick up while movers lugged boxes and furniture inside your house. he spared a single glance, offering a nod at your small wave before retreating into his house.
you thought that was that.
for weeks, you lived without any interaction. settling into your new home, coming back and forth between the hardware store and your house for new projects. taking out your trash before you go to work. you'd seen him take out his own trash once, but you watched from your window, so he never noticed.
you felt weird doing it. watching the thick muscles of his biceps flex against his filled out sleeve, dusting his veiny hands on his jeans before adjusting his balaclava. you wondered why he wore it, but you moved on. you'd likely never interact.
until a couple weeks later, you had arrived home with new groceries. a lot of them. it would take multiple trips that would make your arms ache.
you barely opened your trunk when a dark mass appaeared at your side. you gasp in surprise, head craning. damn, he was taller than you thought.
without a word, he reached in and grabbed at least ten grocery bags with ease. it didn't even seen to bother him as he carried it into your garage and to the door. he didn't struggle to open the door, inviting himself in and leaving you dumbfounded.
what the hell?
the next time his weird behavior manifested was when you were at work. you got a notification from your doorbell camera about some movement, expecting a salesperson or jehovah's witness. instead it was your neighbor—the one who's name you still don't have.
he carried a tackle box, and you were about to speak to ask what he was doing when something compelled you to just watch. he seemed to take apart something on your porch, taking and replacing a piece of the light before screwing it back. he left without a word.
when you got home, your porch lights shined brighter than before—they were dim and on the verge of burning out. why would he do that?
you wanted to confront him, but you appreciated these small things. he still appeared out of thing air to take your groceries in, leaving before you could thank him.
he even started pulling out your bin for you, sitting it at the end of the driveway and dragging it back to the garage when the truck came by.
it perplexed you. why was he doing this for you? did he do it for his other neighbors? he had to, you couldn't be that special.
so you continued living life, welcoming the small actions as they made everything easier. besides, you enjoyed the company, even if he never said a word to you or looked in your direction.
the first time you approached him was on the drive home when a light appeared on your car's dashboard. you had no clue what it meant, though you probably should've. when you arrived home, you debated taking it straight to the autoshop, but instead you tried your luck with your neighbor. he likes to help, so you're guessing he wouldn't mind.
with a soft knock to his front door, you stood waiting patiently, and wait you did. a few minutes later, you contemplated turning back because he wasn't answering the door despite being home (his car was in the driveway).
just as you turned, the front door creaked open, revealing your neighbor clad in nothing but a white towel around his waist, balaclava shoved on haphazardly. his chest glistened with water as it glifed down his skin. oh fuck.
you could barely keep your eyes off his toned chest, abs flexing under your gaze before they snapped back to meet his dark ones. he lifted his brow in question.
"uh, hi." you said awkwardly, rocking on your feet. you hadn't even properly introduced yourself to the man, mostly because he disappeared so quick that you didn't have the chance. "a light came on in my car, and I was wondering—"
the door shut mid-sentence. it left you dumbfounded, mouth hanging open in shock as you stare at the door like it may open again. maybe his generous actions ended at bringing the groceries in. maybe he didn't want to get dirty after just showering. you couldn't expect the man to be ready to help any time you needed it.
after a minute of contemplation, you turned to walk back down the path. you'd have to get it to the mechanics and figured out how much it'd cost you.
when you reached the last step, the door opened again. still shirtless but now looping a belt around his jeans, he walked out, bare feet padding on the concrete. he nodded to your house, signaling you to lead.
you lead him back, hand him your keys and let him do his thing because now you get a free show. his muscles flex as he works under the hood, dirtying himself in a way that's sinful. after a while working in the hot sun, you go inside and bring back a drink, which he gratefully accepts—still without saying anything.
he's a bit weird, refusing to talk to you, but he's fixing your car so you can't complain.
"is this your official uniform to fix all your single neighbor's cars?" the words slip out before you can stop them. mortification warms your face, but it forces a deep chuckle from your neighbor, whose eyes crinkle under his mask.
he glances up at you, dirt smearing his skin. "only the pret'y ones."
your heart flutters. his voice was deep, gruff, like he smoked cigarettes, but it was satisfying to hear.
"so you do talk." you tease whilst biting back a smile. you'd finally gotten words out of him. a small victory. "what's your name?"
"simon."
"really? you look like a greg."
he shakes his head with a smile and continues working, leaving the two of you in silence. what you don't know is that simon's heart is nearly pounding out of his chest. it's beating so hard, he's worried he'll break a rib.
simon has been working up the courage to say anything to you every time he helps you, nervous as hell to talk to his pretty neighbor who he likes to help. hell go home and think about that interaction for days—or until you ask for his help again.
Ayo—! Free show! 😂
(Damn... Not the biceps,,, 💗)
Imagine reader and Andrew Cody have been secretly pining for each other and reader runs into Andrew while he’s making a getaway from a job so she decides to help him by pulling a make out fake out and kissing him in a darkened corner so that the guards don’t see him and Andrew is internally freaking out but when reader apologises once the coast is clear he just pulls her in and kisses her again
a/n: omg anon YOUR MIND!!!
getaway
you’ve grown up with the codys. smurf tried to set you up with baz to get him away from julia a thousand times, but you only had eyes for the oldest, pope. it was always andy to you.
the feeling was mutual, pope was obsessed with you since the first day smurf brought you home and introduced you as julia’s friend. he was just a kid, too scared to do anything about it.
you knew what the codys were into. you used to tend to pope’s wounds when you were teenagers. he’d come to you all beaten up, with that puppy look of his, asking for help and care only you could give him.
you detached yourself from the codys. you didn’t want to have anything to do with their business and pope was too brainwashed by his mother to follow you. you like to think that in another life you could have saved him from his family.
you got a degree and a job at a marketing firm that pays well. of course you heard rumors about heists and robberies all over oceanside and you tried your best to ignore them—but the thought of pope’s well being always gnawed at you.
you didn’t know about julia’s death, you only found out when you met her son j at the beach. the news of her death were delivered shortly after. you loved julia like a sister, but her addiction separated you. she wouldn’t listen and you weren’t exactly the most patient person. you blame yourself a lot for not being there for her.
as times passes you’ve gone through a number of partners, but no one seems to stick around enough to stay. lawyers, doctors and engineers weren’t really your thing, and you knew exactly why.
when you finish your shift at work you take your usual route, cutting it short by passing by an alley when you hear screams and fast footsteps. you try your best to mind your own business, but when a familiar figure bumps into you while running,you can’t help but look.
you both stop in your tracks, blinking in recognition. pope takes his mask off and says your name softly,his voice breaking a little. a siren is approaching the two of you, you panic and your knees wobble as you grab pope by the nape of his neck to crash his lips with yours.
pope freezes for a moment, eyes open looking straight at your closed ones. when the situation registers into his brain he finally relaxes, closing his eyes and melting completely into your kiss. he grabs you by your hips, squeezing and pulling you closer to his chest. your fingers tangle into his grown out curls as he dips his tongue inside your mouth, tasting you gently.
the kiss is urgent, years and years of pent up feelings can be tasted against your tongues.
the police car runs past you, the siren blasting through the road. when the noise of it all fades away, you gently push yourself off of him “i’m so sorry i-i panicked and the police—“ pope cuts you off by grabbing both sides of your face and kissing you again, less panicked and more practiced, at ease. you squeal and grab him by his shirt, pulling him closer.
“i’ve missed you” he says, his eyes scanning your whole face as if he had forgotten what you looked like. which is a lie, pope has been dreaming about you since you left.
“i’ve missed you too andy”
Simon Riley has a hard time getting it up (18+)
After the life Simon Riley has had, it’s really not surprising that he just can’t get it up anymore. He’s tried, time and time again, but the blood doesn’t pump through him the same way it did. And it isn’t that he doesn’t have a sex drive, god no, one look at you and he wishes he could fuck you into the mattress until your tears stain the pillows and the only sounds falling from your mouth are screams of pleasure.
You walk around the apartment, his big t-shirt on, no panties underneath, and it drives him insane. You’re an entire decade younger than him, young and sexy, and he can’t help but feel guilty for letting you stay with him knowing that he can’t give you what you want in bed.
It doesn’t stop him from eating you out until your clit is puffy and your walls are rubbed raw by his calloused fingers. When his head is between your legs, he tries, he really does. He gets so worked up, grinding his soft cock against the bed, willing it to get hard so he can fuck you right after, but it never does.
All it ends in is you cumming on his face one too many times and him walking out of the room without saying a word in pure humiliation.
You don’t take it to heart, you know he beats himself up for it, saying he isn’t good enough, that you should find someone who can actually give you what you want and keep up with you at that. Every time you reassure him, that he does satisfy you, that he never fails to make you feel good regardless of how he does it, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other.
But tonight, tonight is different and you will find a way to fuck your man.
as much as I love the concept of dennis sleeping in robby's bed while he's away my dennis is far too polite. he feels weird about it, too weird. he ends up curled fetal on robby's couch, holding himself, shivering a little. he doesn't even bother with a blanket.
robby gets home early. two months early and 2am early. it's dark out, and he's tired— he's never not tired. a bone-deep exhaustion he just can't shake. couldn't shake it on the road, couldn't work up the courage to hurl himself off a roof or a cliff or something that would end this endless exhaustion for good. he did something he's gotten embarrassingly good at, he gave up.
he assumes dennis is sleeping at the very least, most likely not even there. dennis probably stops by once a day to water a couple of dying plants, make sure no one has broken in overnight. easy enough. of course, dennis was welcome to stay. welcome to anything, his food, (not that there's much of it) his bed, anything he wanted. robby half-expected him to get the house. half-expected himself to never come home.
knew that he was never gonna do it. too pussy, too weak, maybe. he'll make excuses, say PTMC needs him, (what a joke..) that his colleagues would miss him, something, anything. but the damned truth is he just couldn't fucking do it.
robby eases his front door shut, toes out of his boots, sighs heavy through his nose. when he pads into the living room he's shocked to make out a form in the dim light, the rise and fall of breathing, dennis. god, of course. robby should've given him some sort of express permission, do whatever you want, sleep in my bed, wear my clothes, use my shower.
not like— not like that. even though robby's chest feels weird at the thought of it, dennis in his clothes... smelling of him... nuzzling into sheets he's slept in. fuck. robby's always been a fucking pervert when it comes to his adorable intern with the biggest, saddest eyes, but knowing it feels a little better. self-awareness and all that. the kid is just so sweet, so eager, so... he looks up at robby like robby means something to him.
just— dennis should've been comfortable. he knows the kid, always scared of imposing, taking up too much space, being too much. a tendency to curl into himself, even months later with a new edge of confidence. robby knows his mattress is a hell of a lot nicer than his couch, at least.
for a moment he considers if he should leave the little thing all curled up, sleeping, unaware. but robby is a selfish man. and he'll pretend that it's for dennis, that he's thinking about how achy the poor kid will get from sleeping on the couch, but he knows it's not true. robby is fucking tired. and he wants. he wants dennis in his bed, in his arms, sleepy and sweet, something whole, something innocent. someone who likes him. who cares about his opinions and his praises, craves them, even. fuck, yeah, robby's a selfish man. but he knows it. he's aware.
ignoring the protest in his back and knees, he scoops dennis up in the cradle of his arms, grunting at the muscled weight. dennis is short, compared to him at least, and robby fucking loves that more than he should— how small dennis can seem in comparison to him— but he's not exactly tiny. especially not since his return from rotations, with those pretty, sculpted arms robby keeps peeking at every time he offers a job-well-done fistbump.
fucking pervert.
dennis stirs a little, snuffles in the crook of his neck, and robby feels like crying. it's the most intimate he's been with someone in years, it feels like, even though he picked up a girl in a bar on the road just a week ago, gave her a good night. picked up a guy, just a couple days before that. robby's good at flirting, good at sex, good at impersonal.
this feels different. dennis's warm weight, the gentle smell of coconut shampoo, the softness of the dirty blond curls against his chin. this is someone he cares about. and dennis is clinging to him in his sleep, whining a little in the back of his throat as he's laid down on robby's bed. yeah. robby feels like fucking crying, even though he'd never just let himself. he spends most of his time trying not to cry.
but, he lets himself have this. shushes dennis's soft whines, crawls into bed and curls up close, gritting his teeth as dennis takes so easily to it. nuzzles up like he's trying to burrow into robby, shuddering like he's unused to touch, unused to the warmth of another body. robby squeezes his eyes shut and lets himself drop a kiss to the top of dennis's head, breathing him in deep til his shoulders loosen a bit. god, how long has he wanted this? feels like forever. maybe always, in some capacity. someone sweet and forgiving, warm and soft, cuddling up into his chest like robby could ever be considered "safe."
someone staying, as if robby could ever be anything but abandoned.
dennis whispers robby? against his throat and robby tenses up, scared that this safety bubble is popped, that everything's broken, that he's fucked it. that he only had paradise for a moment before it's snatched from his grip all over again.
he might as well give into it while he can. talk to dennis like he does in his head, treat dennis like he fantasizes about on lonely nights. so he hums soft, starts rubbing circles on dennis's back, cuddling him somehow closer as he coos shh, you're okay, baby, you're alright. you're safe, sweetheart. go back to sleep.
robby resigns himself, waits for the other shoe to drop. waits for dennis to realize what's happening, to wrench out of his grasp, maybe yell at robby for holding him, touching him like this without even asking. innocent, maybe, but intimate, too intimate. inappropriate. so robby waits.
dennis only rubs his cheek against robby's shoulder, tucks his face into robby's neck, body going lax with an adorable little yawn. mm, he murmurs, soft, sleepy. your bed's nice. I missed you.
this time, robby does cry.
Post-Starcourt Stobin, who don't want to explain where their injuries came from to paramedics, decide to leave but also like, they need medical attention.
Robin got a cut on her knee during the final battle that won't stop bleeding and Steve is just...broken.
"Awe, don't say that," Steve complains with blood pouring down his chin from his reopened split lip. "I'm just..."
"Tired," Robin finishes for him when Steve trails off. He's doing that with frequency now. Robin thinks his injuries might be worse than he's admitting so, "Let's rest."
Robin's not sure where they're at but Steve says they're halfway to his house so, a little rest is fine.
She finds a door that's unlocked and a house that's empty, and that feels like a good enough reason to enter it and - "Find the first aid kit. I'll patch up your knee."
"On it."
Steve slowly sits down and Robin disappears down the hall. She scrubs off as much grim as she can in the bathroom sink, returns with the first aid kit, and joins him on the couch when the door opens and -
"...What's happening here?"
"We're...." Steve starts, stalls, picks back up to say "intruders" at the same time Robin blurts out, "Your friends! Here for the surprise part - did you say intruders?"
"What?" Steve, who definitely did, responds. "No. Why would I say that? I-"
"Hey," Eddie Munson cuts in. "What the fuck are you doing in my house and why do you look like roadkill?"
First of all, "Rude."
"To roadkill, maybe," Eddie crosses his arms. "Again, I’m asking-"
Second of all...
"Dude, shut up," Steve snaps at him. "I'm tired and everything hurts, and you're fucking loud. I’m trying to concentrate."
Eddie gives him a condescending gesture to continue but it's pretty clear that Steve doesn't remember what he was trying to do.
Robin jumps in to take over but..."What are we doing?"
Steve sounds so tired when he says, "I don't know."
"Eddie," She says, feeling the night hit her all at once and finally.
Finally, asking the one thing she's wanted since they fell down that elevator shaft, "Help us, please?"
