Summary: you help Jean-Paul when he can't fall asleep

Even the rain gently pattering at your window isn’t enough to soothe Jean-Paul back to sleep.
He’s stiff as a board, sitting upright on the mattress next to you, his mind racing. You’re sound asleep next to him, comforter tugged up to your chin, blissfully unaware of the horrors he’s experiencing.
He should wake you up. He knows he should—you’d asked him to—and yet, he can’t. You’re too peaceful, too warm, too wrapped up in the cozy comfort of whatever it is you dream about every night. He wouldn’t dare disturb you, not for something as silly as this.
Still, the things he’s done as Azrael continue to plague him when he closes his eyes, blurry visions of gore burned into the backs of his retinas.
He swipes a few long, blond strands from his face and reaches to the nightstand to put his glasses back on. Squinting at the alarm clock on your nightstand, he cringes when he sees the time. Well past three in the morning.
He swings his legs over the side of the bed, mind set on washing those few extra dishes you’d left in the sink before bed. He’s not getting sleep anytime soon, he might as well make himself useful.
He’s just about to stand, half of his weight already in the balls of his feet pressed against the floor, when he feels your soft touch on his wrist.
He glances at you over the shoulder, forcing a smile when he sees the sleep-ridden concern on your face. Your eyes are still half-closed, lips pressed into a thin line.
“Jean?” You yawn, “what time is it?”
“Late, sweetheart.”
You nod, tugging at his wrist, drawing him into you. He gives in, letting himself flop back into the mess of pillows and blankets, laid flat on his back next to you.
He frowns, “did I wake you?”
“Told you to wake me if you couldn’t sleep.”
The guilt sets in, a new weight over the already unbearable weight he carries every day. “I’m sorry.”
“S’fine,” you murmur, rolling over to lay on his chest.
He’s warm, chest radiating heat like the sword that plagues him. You press a hand against the bare skin of his stomach, snuggling close to him. Jean drapes an arm over your side, pulling you in.
“What was it tonight?” You ask.
“Same as usual,” he admits quietly. “Thinking about the things I—Azrael did.”
You look up at him through your lashes, tracing soft circles on his skin. Goosebumps raise where you drag your fingers, muscles relaxing beneath his skin.
You press a kiss to the side of his pec. “You’re not your past.”
“I know, it’s just—“
Sometimes the voice get so loud. Sometimes they roar at him in the dead of night until it’s all he can hear. Punish the guilty, be the avenging angel, seek vengeance.
“It’s too much,” he admits. “Some nights, it’s just too much, and the world is so quiet and—and my head is so loud.”
You prop yourself up on an arm to look at him properly. “What helps to quiet it?”
He pauses for a moment to think, remembering the techniques he’s used to get himself through nights much worse than this one. Nights before you were at his side, before the safety net that he finds in your arms came to be.
“Stories, mostly. About the Saints and other things.”
“Tell me one,” you say.
And he does. He starts to regale you with a story about a Saint you’ve never heard of, spouting off each detail like it’s second nature to him. The sound of his voice soothes you, has you relaxing back into his chest, your breathing steadying.
Telling you the story has him soothing himself, too. The voices aren’t so loud, the guilt doesn’t plague him as heavily, he doesn’t see the snapshots of violence behind his eyelids anymore.
Before he knows it, he’s reached the end of the story. You’re fast asleep on his chest, chest rising and falling rhythmically. He finds his own eyes feeling heavy for the first time tonight, sleep finally clasping his hand.
He brushes a thumb over your temple, “I love you so much.”

Bruce Wayne had a hollow pit in his heart that ached for the simple things in life, such as Jason picking up his call, dick staying the night at the manor, among others. But like everyone else, he wished for things that could never happen, like his parents alive and well beyond their early thirties, and meeting you, his wife.
But what if fate had other plans?
It's a random Tuesday as Bruce, and you stand in the middle of your grandfather's beloved attic. The wooden floors creak under your weight, dust particles moving in spirals as the early rays of sunshine flit through the glass panes of the dormer window. Your mother had asked for your help in cleaning your grandparents' place, and so you pulled in Bruce - offering him a break from his corporate duties, which he gladly agreed to.
"Wow, I did not realise my grandad hoarded so many things", you say, looking at the vast number of trinkets and boxes stacked along the walls on both sides of the attic. Each was well organised, with a label pasted on the top.
"Your grandad was a man of culture", Bruce chuckles, looking at the various band posters from the 40s and 50s. There were even autographs from some of them, neatly preserved.
Both of you got to work immediately, knowing it would be hours before everything was cleaned out. You had decided to split the work by concentrating on different ends of the triangular room.
Bruce had struck gold by ending up in the corner where your granddad had seemed to store much of the photo albums and cassettes, stacked on top of each other, labeled in detail about what the insides contained. It gave Bruce an insight to your family, a family from looking at the albums that had photos from back since your grandparents got married, having their daughter — your mother, to her getting married, and having you.
He had seen a lot of your photos since the early days of dating, but these were different. Your grandfather was an avid photographer, and Bruce could sense it through the varied angles and poses that he made everyone do.
"Having fun, huh?" you mumble, looking at Bruce as he suppresses a chuckle while looking at the pictures of you — a two-year-old, wearing a princess gown and a wand gripped tightly within your grubby fingers.
"You get stuck with the more fun part, while I have to dust some old documents", you grumble, looking at files and files of documents.
"Do you wanna exchange, sweetheart?"
"Nope," you say, emphasizing the 'p' as you shift to the next box, "Besides, I like hearing you laugh, even if it comes at the cost of my pictures"
An hour passes by.
You had finished four out of the twelve boxes. Heaving a sigh, you decide it's time for a well-deserved break. And what better to do than annoy your beautiful husband?
"Bruce, Brucie Wayne," you turn to look at him at the lack of any response "Bruce?"
Bruce doesn't answer, his broad back turned towards you. There is something different in the air from a few minutes ago, almost tinged with melancholic fragrance. You move towards, hoping to see what made him go so still, only to let out a gasp when you see it.
There you were, maybe five or six years old, wearing a large doctor's coat that reached well beyond your limbs, dragging onto the marble floor and a cute pink stethoscope around your neck. But that was not what made you gasp; it was the couple you were standing with in the photo.
Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Both of them were crouched next to you on either side. Thomas Wayne in his fitting black suit paired with a dark blue silk necktie embellished with motifs, while Martha Wayne wore a simple black silk dress paired with a blue plaid jacket.
There was a tiny piece of description below the photograph, a little shabby, like your grandpa wasn't sure what to write.
' Y/N & famous couple from Gotham (VHS #155)'
Bruce let out a laugh— loud but bittersweet. It made sense for your grandad to not know them, considering the only people he thought to be rich were the Queens.
You looked at Bruce, his eyes a little glazed as you cupped his face, fingers rubbing against the expanse of his cheek. Pressing a small kiss on his forehead, you whisper, "Shall we watch the VHS tape?"
He hums as you both try finding the exact tape among two hundred of them. Once retrieved, you dust the Toshiba VCR at the corner, pulling it slightly towards the center. You and Bruce try to get it to start since it probably hasn't been used in a while.
After a few minutes, the VCR lights up. Inserting the tape, you press play, and both of you stand back, Bruce's arm over your shoulder as you lay your head on his chest, arms wrapped around his waist.
The VCR displays a blue gradient before buzzing to a grainy film of you in a purple and pink frock , smiling widely at the camera. There's a lot of noise around you — people clapping , speeches being read as your grandad records the stage when Thomas Wayne was giving his speech. Bruce shifted a little, hand holding yours a little tighter, from hearing his father's voice after so many years.
The video then shifts to you, standing in front of the couple, wearing a pink stethoscope and a white coat a little too large for your frame. Martha Wayne smiles , a smile so radiant, before crouching down to her knees as she shakes your hand.
"Hi, there. What's your name?"
You say your name before letting out a giggle at her calling you beautiful.
"You want to be a doctor when you grow up?" She asks, hands pointing at the instrument hanging around your neck.
"Yes, ma'am. I want to be a heart doctor," you say, peering at the woman beside you. Thomas Wayne smiles before exchanging pleasantries with your grandfather.
"Oh, that's wonderful! You will be a great doctor one day, my dear."
And with that, the VHS comes to an end.
Bruce sniffles a little , his hands holding your waist, chin placed on top of your head. Silence fills the space along with the sounds of your nieces playing around the house. You don't know how long the both of you stayed like that, but it could have been forever, and you didn't mind at all.
Bruce is beyond happy. While it may not be visible to the naked eye, you could feel the joy emanating from the open crevices of grief and gaps of affection. He was happy that you —his wife, the love of his life — had met his parents. And they had gotten the chance to meet you.
Perhaps both of you really were soulmates.

꒰ content ꒱ .𖥔 ݁ ˖ using her to blot your lipstick . . . natasha romanoff x fem!reader, fluff
You're sitting on the bathroom counter, carefully dragging lipstick across your lips. It's a rare night when the two of you can relax and doll up for a fancy dinner.
Well, you doll up.
Out of the corner of your eye, you catch Nat strapping a gun to her thigh, just above the slit in her dress. It's simple and sleek, the complete opposite of your look. You prefer going all out, layering colors and textures until everything looks like you've stepped out of a Fancy Nancy book.
Glancing back at your reflection, you study your lips. The deep red is too bold. It throws the whole look off.
"Nat—"
"No. We're going to be late," she cuts you off, stepping into her heels.
You pout. "You don't even know what I was gonna say."
Natasha eyes you in the mirror. Then she straightens and stalks over, heels clicking against the floor.
"You were going to ask if the lipstick is too bold." She steps between your legs, fingers tilting your chin up. "It's not."
"It is."
"Baby."
You cup her face and she leans closer like she can't help it. The thought that you could make her lose her control sends a giddy feeling through you.
You turn her head and press a kiss to her jaw, leaving a bright red mark behind.
She exhales through her nose. "Really?"
You admire it with a satisfied grin as her hands settle on your hips. "Done."
She lets her forehead fall against yours.
"Can we go now?" she asks.
You shake your head.
"What now?"
"I need a kiss."
"Of course you do." She mutters, but gives in anyway.

The SHIELD debrief portal had a lot of options Bucky didn't care about.
CC, BCC, Priority flag. Read receipts, etc. He'd clicked through all of them once when Fury made the whole team migrate to the new system. He'd retained exactly what he needed: Subject line. Body. Attach file. Send.
BCC he'd figured out on his own. Blind carbon copy, so his copy. B for Bucky, obviously, the logic was airtight — you hit BCC, put your own address in, and you got a private duplicate that nobody else could see or trace. His personal record, similar to a filing cabinet that lived in his email.
What the portal's onboarding documentation would have explained, had he read it, was that BCC worked the other way. You put other addresses in BCC. Addresses you wanted to receive the email invisibly, without the main recipient knowing.
What the portal's backend had also done, automatically and without asking anyone, was flag your email address to receive copies of any SHIELD documentation in which your name appeared more than four times.
Bucky's reports averaged twelve.
He didn't know any of this. He hit send, opened his own BCC copy, read it over once with a quiet satisfaction of reviewing something he was privately proud of, and closed his laptop.
The first one arrived on a Tuesday.
You were in the common room with your phone, half-watching something on the TV and not really tracking it, when the notification came through. SHIELD internal. Debrief document, your name in the subject line, sender ID: AGT-J.B.BARNES-2245.
You read it once, then you read it again.
Asset demonstrated exceptional situational awareness during the extraction sequence. Threat neutralisation was efficient and tactically sound.
Of additional note: asset's decision to reroute through the east corridor rather than the designated path resulted in the successful retrieval of secondary intelligence that would otherwise have been lost. This was not a lucky call. This was good instinct. Recommend continued field partnership.
This was not a lucky call. This was good instinct. You put your phone face-down on your knee, then picked it up to read it again.
Nobody had ever put that in writing before.
You were smiling before you'd fully registered. It was the kind you had to press your lips together to keep reasonable, and you looked up at the TV without seeing it and thought, huh.
Across the room, Bucky watched your face do something he didn't have a word for and felt a pull in his chest he chose not to examine.
You were on your phone a lot. He'd noticed. But, he wasn't keeping track or anything. So, he looked back at his coffee.
The second report went out three weeks later, after the Rotterdam job.
Bucky wrote it the same night, still in the post-mission quiet when everything felt slower and more honest. You'd been good in Rotterdam. Better than good. You'd held a position under pressure that most people would have abandoned and you'd done it without being asked.
You hadn't mentioned it in the debrief at all, just moved on like it was nothing, and it was very much not nothing.
He wrote the report, and he did so carefully. He added a line he took out, then put back in, then reworded three times:
Asset shows consistent pattern of underreporting her own contributions in verbal debrief settings. For accuracy of record, this document reflects observed field performance rather than asset's own account, which trends toward omission.
He looked at that for a while. Then he hit send, BCC'd himself, and closed the laptop.
You got it during breakfast.
Sam watched you pick up your phone mid-bite, watched your expression shift into something soft and private and a little delighted. He watched you put the phone screen-down with the careful precision of someone protecting something.
"Good news?" Sam said.
"Mm." You picked your fork back up. "Just — yeah. Good news."
Sam looked at you. He then looked across the kitchen at Bucky, who was reading the newspaper with the focus of totally not listening into the conversation.
Sam looked back at you, but he said nothing. He was mentally storing all these signs.
Bucky noticed you were doing it more.
The phone thing and the quiet smile. The way you'd look up from whatever you were reading with this expression like something had settled right in you. Then you'd put it away carefully, like you were folding something you wanted to keep.
He'd assumed it was texts. Someone's texts. Someone who made you look like that on a random Thursday morning over coffee, and he sat with that for approximately forty-five seconds before deciding he didn't want to think about it anymore.
He opened his laptop that evening and pulled up the debrief for the Lisbon job. Standard stuff, you know, like routine retrieval.
Except you'd done this thing mid-mission where you'd talked down a civilian who was about to make everyone's life significantly harder, just calm and steady and completely unbothered. It had taken maybe ninety seconds and saved the whole operation two hours minimum. Nobody had commented on it. It was the kind of thing that disappeared into the noise.
He started typing.
He wrote the standard sections firstL objectives, timeline, outcome. Then he got to the additional notes field, which SHIELD technically used for anomalies and escalations, and which Bucky had been using for other things.
Asset's interpersonal management under pressure warrants specific notation. The civilian stabilisation in the market was executed without backup, without prior briefing, and without any apparent increase in the asset's stress response.
It is the opinion of this agent that this represents a skill set that is both rare and consistently undervalued.
He was adding a final line — something about recommended commendation, which he'd never put in a report before, and which he also chose not to examine — when the chair next to him scraped back and Steve sat down.
Bucky tilted the laptop slightly away, reflex.
"Working late?" Steve said.
"Report."
"Which one?"
"Lisbon."
Steve glanced at the screen anyway, as he had no sense of boundaries that Bucky hadn't explicitly built a wall around. He read exactly enough to go very still in the way that meant he was trying not to have a reaction.
"That's very thorough," Steve said.
"I'm a thorough person."
"You recommended a commendation."
"They earned it."
Steve opened his mouth, and Bucky closed the laptop.
"The report," Bucky said, "is classified."
"It's an internal debrief document —"
"Goodnight, Steve."
Steve stood up. He walked out of the room at a completely normal pace.
Steve found Sam in the gym the next morning. He looked up from the bench press, while Steve held out his phone. Sam read the screenshot — received at 11:43pm, the text reading just you need to see this with no other context — and set the bar back in the rack.
They looked at each other.
"Do they know?" Sam said.
"They don’t know."
"Does he know?"
Steve's expression answered that. Sam picked the bar back up. "We're not telling either of them."
"Absolutely not."
"This is the most entertaining thing that's happened in six months."
"I know."
"Your best friend is writing this person love letters and filing them with SHIELD."
"I know, Sam."
You'd started saving them.
Not in a folder or anything organised. Just — you hadn't deleted them. You'd read the Lisbon one four times. On the fourth read you'd hit the consistently undervalued line and had to put your phone in your pocket and go do something with your hands for a while.
Someone on the team was writing these. Had to be. The mission details were too specific, the access too internal. Someone who'd been in Rotterdam, in Lisbon, on the extraction job in February.
You were running the list in your head while you made coffee, not really tracking the room, when you said out loud: "Do you think it could be an analyst? Like someone in the documentation department who just — sees the same names a lot and —"
"No," said Bucky, from the table.
You turned around. He was eating cereal and looking at his phone. He didn't look up.
"I mean, it's possible though, right?" you said. "They review everything. They'd have context."
"Analysts don't do field commendations. That's agent-level sign-off." He turned his phone over. "Whoever it is has been in the field with you."
You stared at him. Nonchalantly, he ate his cereal.
"That," you said slowly, "is actually really helpful, thank you."
"It's a logical deduction."
You turned back to the coffee maker. You were smiling again. You could feel it.
Behind you, Bucky looked at the back of your head with the expression of a man who had just realised he might have a problem.
The fourth report was the one that got away from him.
It was after the Geneva job, which had gone sideways in three different directions and then come back together.
It was entirely because of a call you'd made that Bucky was still thinking about four days later. It wasn't even a dramatic call. That was the thing. It was quiet and fast and so precisely right that he'd had trouble focusing for the rest of the op.
He sat down to write the report and he wrote the standard sections and then he got to additional notes and he just — kept going.
He wrote about the Geneva call. He wrote about Rotterdam again, because he'd been thinking about it. He wrote:
This agent has now worked alongside asset in eleven field operations. Pattern of observation across this period leads to the following assessment: asset is the kind of person who makes every operation better by being in it.
This is the conclusion of eleven data points and one agent who has been paying attention.
Then, because Geneva had also produced something worth noting — genuinely, this part was professional — he added:
Of additional commendation: asset developed a partner communication system mid-mission, Geneva operation. Implemented in under thirty seconds, zero errors.
Examples: "wrong floor" for abort, "you owe me coffee" for stand down. Effective. Recommend standard adoption.
For the record, the coffee was never collected.
He read that back. He sent it before he could think about it differently. BCC: himself. B For Bucky. Private and safe.
You got it during movie night.
You felt your phone buzz, glanced at it, saw the sender ID, and made a decision in real time to read it right now that you would later question.
Asset is the kind of person who makes every operation better by being in it.
You made a very small sound that you hoped nobody heard. Sam definitely heard it.
This is the conclusion of eleven data points and one agent who has been paying attention.
You were smiling so hard your face hurt and you were staring at your phone like it had personally done something kind to you. You were going to need a moment, you were going to need just a —
You kept reading.
"Wrong floor" for abort. "You owe me coffee" for stand down.
You stopped smiling. You read that back.
Those were yours. The system you'd built in a Geneva stairwell in thirty seconds because you'd looked at Bucky and done the math on how the next hour was going to go.
You'd whispered the whole thing to him while checking the corridor and he'd said got it and that had been that. You hadn't written it down. You hadn't told debrief. Nor, had you mentioned it to anyone because it had felt like — it had just felt like a thing between the two of you.
For the record, the coffee was never collected.
He'd put that in a SHIELD report. You looked up.
Bucky was looking at the TV with his arms crossed, jaw slightly set. The specific stillness of someone who had decided in advance that they were going to look at the TV and they were going to keep looking no matter what.
You looked at him for a long moment, realisation configuring in your head. He didn't look back. You looked down at your phone, then back up at Bucky.
Sam looked at Steve, who just looked at the ceiling, avoiding any stray gazes. Nobody said a word.
You locked your phone, very carefully, and put it face-down on your knee. On screen, something exploded.
i think its funny how superman and superboy prime are literally the alternate versions of each other yet act so so differently
not even just from their behavior, but from the way they fuck too. and how did you know? well, probably because superboy prime was balls deep behind you while your hand was wrapped around superman’s cock
“ohhh baby, you’re a star” clark— superboy prime— moaned, his hands ruthlessly pulling your hips to make contact with his and his chin resting on your shoulder to whisper in your ear. “jerkin’ off superman and gettin’ fucked by superboy prime” a dazed smirk formed on his panting lips. “now that’s what i’d call an intro—"
a choked moan left him when he felt your pussy squeeze him. the pace was almost merciless, the speed and depth of his thrusts making lewd noises come out of your poor cunt. it pulled out an ah! ah! ah! and other soft sounds from your parted lips
meanwhile, clark — superman— was panting under you, his blue eyes blown and pinned on your boobs bouncing with each thrust as his hand was on top of yours, guiding you. your name left his lips in a moan, feeling your soft hand brush a vein on his cock just right it made his length twitch in your grasp
“just like that, honey” clark whined, his big chest heaving and his hand speeding. “god, you’re perfect” it was amusing, really— the great superman, now undone and at your mercy just by your touch
“look at him” clark— prime— whispered in your ear, his eyes on his alternate self. “look how ruined he is, all from your— hah— hand alone” his mouth went behind your ear to place an open-mouthed kiss with a chuckle. “and hear how well she’s takin’ me”
of course, he was talking about your pussy— the same one that was handling each and every inch of his cock, wet slaps and squelches heard
“clark i— ohhh my god, clark!” which one were you moaning about? probably both
and to add on to the stimulation you were already feeling, clark’s other hand slipped down to press on your clit with his thumb. the added pressure along with clark’s cock— prime— drilling in you made a loud moan leave your lips and your hips jolt as a response
but the large hands on your hips immediately pulled you back, holding you back in place. “ah ah” clark— prime— murmured, his hands sliding up to your boobs to squeeze and fondle with them, his pace not stopping for even a second. “not yet pretty girl, let me fill you up first”
could this be considered a threesome if you were fucking two alternate versions of the same person? yes and no, but who cares?
Summary: you help Jean-Paul when he can't fall asleep
Content/CW -> gn! reader, nightmares/insomnia, mentions of past violence

Even the rain gently pattering at your window isn’t enough to soothe Jean-Paul back to sleep.
He’s stiff as a board, sitting upright on the mattress next to you, his mind racing. You’re sound asleep next to him, comforter tugged up to your chin, blissfully unaware of the horrors he’s experiencing.
He should wake you up. He knows he should—you’d asked him to—and yet, he can’t. You’re too peaceful, too warm, too wrapped up in the cozy comfort of whatever it is you dream about every night. He wouldn’t dare disturb you, not for something as silly as this.
Still, the things he’s done as Azrael continue to plague him when he closes his eyes, blurry visions of gore burned into the backs of his retinas.
He swipes a few long, blond strands from his face and reaches to the nightstand to put his glasses back on. Squinting at the alarm clock on your nightstand, he cringes when he sees the time. Well past three in the morning.
He swings his legs over the side of the bed, mind set on washing those few extra dishes you’d left in the sink before bed. He’s not getting sleep anytime soon, he might as well make himself useful.
He’s just about to stand, half of his weight already in the balls of his feet pressed against the floor, when he feels your soft touch on his wrist.
He glances at you over the shoulder, forcing a smile when he sees the sleep-ridden concern on your face. Your eyes are still half-closed, lips pressed into a thin line.
“Jean?” You yawn, “what time is it?”
“Late, sweetheart.”
You nod, tugging at his wrist, drawing him into you. He gives in, letting himself flop back into the mess of pillows and blankets, laid flat on his back next to you.
He frowns, “did I wake you?”
“Told you to wake me if you couldn’t sleep.”
The guilt sets in, a new weight over the already unbearable weight he carries every day. “I’m sorry.”
“S’fine,” you murmur, rolling over to lay on his chest.
He’s warm, chest radiating heat like the sword that plagues him. You press a hand against the bare skin of his stomach, snuggling close to him. Jean drapes an arm over your side, pulling you in.
“What was it tonight?” You ask.
“Same as usual,” he admits quietly. “Thinking about the things I—Azrael did.”
You look up at him through your lashes, tracing soft circles on his skin. Goosebumps raise where you drag your fingers, muscles relaxing beneath his skin.
You press a kiss to the side of his pec. “You’re not your past.”
“I know, it’s just—“
Sometimes the voice get so loud. Sometimes they roar at him in the dead of night until it’s all he can hear. Punish the guilty, be the avenging angel, seek vengeance.
“It’s too much,” he admits. “Some nights, it’s just too much, and the world is so quiet and—and my head is so loud.”
You prop yourself up on an arm to look at him properly. “What helps to quiet it?”
He pauses for a moment to think, remembering the techniques he’s used to get himself through nights much worse than this one. Nights before you were at his side, before the safety net that he finds in your arms came to be.
“Stories, mostly. About the Saints and other things.”
“Tell me one,” you say.
And he does. He starts to regale you with a story about a Saint you’ve never heard of, spouting off each detail like it’s second nature to him. The sound of his voice soothes you, has you relaxing back into his chest, your breathing steadying.
Telling you the story has him soothing himself, too. The voices aren’t so loud, the guilt doesn’t plague him as heavily, he doesn’t see the snapshots of violence behind his eyelids anymore.
Before he knows it, he’s reached the end of the story. You’re fast asleep on his chest, chest rising and falling rhythmically. He finds his own eyes feeling heavy for the first time tonight, sleep finally clasping his hand.
He brushes a thumb over your temple, “I love you so much.”

Morph's thoughts: Hadn't done one of these for Clark yet so here it is, I'm thinking weather i should do masterlist by charters now that i have one of each recurring character or wait a bit until there's a bigger collection — Also, I'm preparing a little series of fics that i hope to get out before June ends, if i don't please pretend i did. Thank you.
It had been an exhausting two weeks. You'd been woken up by Clark in the middle of the night, now fifteen days ago, brain still too sluggish to fully comprehend all the information he was throwing at you while getting his Superman suit on. Still, you had caught enough of it, something about a Justice League emergency, some intergalactic things going on that required his help. All you'd managed was to nod along to his words, getting out a quick request for him to be safe and make it home to you before he'd pressed a soft kiss to your lips before disappearing though the bedroom's window.
When your alarm had woken you up the next morning, eyes opening to find his empty pillow instead of his usual sleepy smile, it had dawned on you. It hadn't been a weird dream, Clark had really left for a mission that you had no idea how long could last.
Still, you'd avoided dwelling on it for too long, taking a shower and getting ready for the day, mentally reassuring yourself that it would go by quickly. After all he hadn't gone on his own.
That strategy had worked for about three days, where you'd been busy enough with work and meeting friends and family to not think about it too hard. But when the weekend had arrived —and just your luck, it being one of the very sparse rainy weekends in Metropolis— you'd found yourself spending most of your time in a too-quiet apartment.
This is what you hated the most about this kind of mission, how lonely it felt without Clark around. If he was somewhere on Earth, even if he was gone for days at a time, he'd always sneak in a call or a message, something quick to check in. However, the moment he had to go into space all forms of communication got cut, even the coms system Oracle had given you that one time your phone had been compromised by Luthor.
From then on the days had dragged on by, the hours at work feeling long, but those spent alone in your apartment feeling longer. By the week and a half mark you'd started to space out your meetings with friends, clearly none of your non-super friends knew about your boyfriends identity so your worry over his "work trip" had started to rise questions about the well-being of your relationship. And your mutual friends that knew of Superman, well, they were preoccupied with the same intergalactic-level threat as Clark.
The best way you'd found to distract yourself was to have something playing on pretty much all hours of day. Like right now. It was bit sad, spending a Friday night cooped in while eating takeout from the Chinese restaurant down the street —one you'd have to avoid for a bit after Clark got back, given that they had greeted you by name as soon as they'd picked up your call— in an old pair of your boyfriend's pyjamas while watching some kid's movie that was playing on TV.
It's not that the plan itself was a bad thing; however the fact that your usual Friday night would entail either date night with Clark or a couple of drinks with Lois and Jimmy added to how frequent the take out and random movie combo had been just in the last week, did make you feel a little extra bad tonight.
Pitying yourself a little too much, you'd set down the chow mein container, getting up from the couch and shuffling your way into the kitchen for a much needed glass of wine.
The task of finding the bottle opener and managing to take the cork out had been arduous enough after the last two weeks that you hadn't heard the balcony door squeak open. What you had undoubtedly recognised though was the sound of Clark's voice calling out your name from the living room.
In an instant the half-filled glass of wine had been completely forgotten as you run back into the room, jumping into your boyfriend's awaiting arms. Not caring about the dust and grime clinging to his face and suit, you hold onto him like a koala, pressing kisses all over his face.
He laughs as his arms wrap around you, tight, and gods how you've missed that sound. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, like you've laid down in a sunny spot after a long day at the beach. You only stop your rain of kisses when one of his hands moves to cup your cheek —the other arm easily holding you up— guiding your lips to his.
"I'm back," he murmurs softly, lips brushing against yours with every words. "In one piece, just like i promised." He steals your breath with another kiss, and then another. Your forehead rests against his while the two of you focus on catching your breath. Your eyes lost in his blue ones when he steals one more little peck. "I'm home, baby."

Consciousness comes to you with fluorescent lights first.
The migraine was already teasing at your periphery.
The next sense that kicks in is smell. The air reeks of sharp disinfectant and latex. Your skin was itching, begging to claw its’ way out of the polyester gown that you don’t remember changing into.
Ah.
You’re in the hospital.
Slowly, blinking away the fog clouding the front of your mind, the memories start racing back. There was a sledge hammer, a gun, and Tim in the crossfire. While he was holding off the man with the hammer, a gun pointed at his temple. Doing the only logical thought that came to your mind in the split second you had to act, you dove in front of him.
The rest of it was pretty hazy.
A squeeze of your left hand grounds you to the hospital bed. Turning your neck ever so slightly, a disheveled and considerably more exhausted Bruce Wayne comes into view.
He’s insufferable. No one should be able to look as gorgeous as he does in a hospital room. Yet here is doing what he does best, going against the normal flow of the world. He’s in a wrinkled dress shirt rolled up to his elbows, that you’re positive he’s rolled and unrolled a thousand times since being here, bags under his eyes that have faded from grey to purple, and hair that has defied its original clean style by having a careful- almost invisible- part down the middle from where his hands ran through it.
Then there’s the look he’s giving you.
It’s dark and tired with a hint of relief behind the dulled intensity of his gaze. For someone who was so carefully neutral, his eyes constantly betrayed him as a portal to everything he tried to hide. They changed with the seasons of his feelings. There were mornings where they were lighter than clouds, and nights when they mirrored a hurricane from the Atlantic. And now, they were dimmed to a grey you never wanted to be on the receiving end of again.
“You’re here.” You manage to croak out, your voice rough.
His thumb hasn’t paused form rubbing mindless circles on the back of your palm, a grounding measure for you or him? You’re not sure.
“I am.” His voice is gravelly from lack of use.
“How-” a cough. “How’s Tim?”
At the sound of your disruption, Bruce springs into action. He stands from the chair at the side of your bed to grab a conveniently placed glass of water on your night stand. Pushing it in your direction, the cold cup is a nice sensation on your lips. His eyebrows furrow together watching the water trickle down your throat, making sure you swallow it. His other hand never leaves yours.
After a few sips, he returns the glass back down on the side table. “Tim’s okay,” he’s acting carefully even about the whole thing. “I believe a thank you is in order.”
A small chuckle falls from your lips, and thankfully it doesn’t turn into a coughing fit. “Of course Bruce, it’s nothing.”
He straightens at that, “it’s not nothing.”
Swallowing, you don’t know what to do from here. You haven’t navigated this terrain with Bruce. This was a dance you haven’t done yet. You and him had weren’t quite something but not nothing either. It was a weird in between that only really sprouted from early morning showers and kisses in the sheets.
“I’m fine Bruce, really.” You weren’t sure how convincing it was considering you could feel the stitches in your abdomen, but you didn’t know how else to communicate it. “They’re your boys and you trusted me with them. They come first.”
“It’s not a matter of who comes first, it’s matter of you being careless with your life. Do you know how agonizing it is to hear over the comms that you were shot and it was almost fatal?” That’s a bit dramatic, the bullet went straight through you. Clean shot, you’d suffered worse. “The kids are my life, they’re my children. But you- you are everything to me.”
Maybe it was exhaustion or maybe it was the drugs, but your jaw physically drops. Your eyebrows furrow together and you couldn’t hide the shock that ran through your body. Digesting your reaction, a small smile fights its way onto his lips.
It wasn’t the billionaire playboy smirk or the warm one he wears when his kids are in the manor sitting room squabbling about a biscuit. No- it’s something more gentle, as if your presence lights him up from the inside out. He moves to sit on the edge of the bed and leans forward. His lips press to the corner of yours and the warmth from him floods through your body.
“It’s amazing,” he whispers as his forehead falls to yours. “How you truly are one of the smartest people I know, and you still can’t tell that I would do anything for you.”
No words are coming to you and you choose to blame it on the medication. So you do what anyone would do after a mind-numbing love confession, you kiss him.
You push yourself forward off and meet his lips. The feeling is something close to the divine, but not quite. It’s more. It’s like everything in the world finally clicked into place and it all went quiet. There was no beeps from a heart monitor, no nurse rushing down the hallway, no robins interrupting, it was just you and him.
And now, you finally understand what fine means, because the bullet to the stomach led you down the road you’ve been wandering for too long.
For the neglected characters event can we just ask for a character or do we have to attach a scenario to the request ?
Very excited for this event ! I have gone on a characters tag only to find like 10 fics one too many times. So thank you !🙏🏼
its totally up to you!! you can just do a character + a genre (fluff, angst etc) but if you want more of a specific plot, you can totally do that too <3
Jason Todd/Reader, 671 words [request from anonymous sender]
-> cw: makeouts, gn!reader (no description of features/clothing)
masterlist ao3 requests
Whenever you make out with Jason, there is one thing that you were never poignantly aware of before—that he was able to unlock a new avenue of sensation. After all, before you met him—you had never really been with anyone before.
And you had definitely never even been with someone that you could readily make out with. And you had never been with anyone that was able to take you down this avenue of…tactile discovery.
Because that was the thing: every time that the two of you kissed—there was a flare of heat, a blooming of insistent need that would take reckoning of you whenever the two of you shared both space and privacy.
But one thing was for certain: every time that Jason got you alone, he would alone have the privilege of being able to enjoy the sanctity of your mouth against his.
Much as he does now, as he holds you on the terrain of the couch, his mouth pressed against yours. His hands searching out the details of your body, roaming up the width of your thighs wrapped around the spread of his thick waist.
You can feel the instinctive grind of his body against yours, against the junction of your legs. This lets you become quite aware of something burgeoning with lustful intent. As if the ways that he was making you come undone with his mouth was no clear indicator.
And oh, the things he's doing with his mouth right now—the way that he takes his tongue and presses it at the seam of your lips. The way that your mouth opens to give him access, and how he takes what you've given him without any hesitation.
And you can feel his tongue scrape against yours—and encounter the beaded pearl piercing that dots the center of the muscle.
There's an exquisite shiver that blooms inside-out as you feel the way that his tongue laves at the spot, desperate to commemorate the taste of you against him.
And his hands, while already exploratory, become so much more desperately hungry for more. They grab in avid handfuls to ensure that you will remain trapped under him—a captivity that you're happy to endure.
He knows you like it; after all, the moan that you make into him, that he swallows with another slick lap of his tongue against yours—the heady rush of sensation from the crown of your head that jolts straight between your legs—
He knows what effect it has on you. He understands all-too-well how much it drives you wild, and he'll do his best to ensure he can continue to encourage those reactions out of you. He searches for the back of your teeth with an expert swipe of his tongue; your hips roll into him with an instinctiveness that you cannot resist.
Jason only pulls away when the necessity for air demands him to, so that he may admire the flustered state that he has reduced you to. So that he can see the glassy manner that your eyes arc up to him with, the boozy smile that you take aim with.
He huffs an amused breath through his gritted teeth—after all, he can't resist the grin at this prize that he's got below him. Not when he's been able to undo you in such manner.
"You like when I kiss you, sweetheart?" He asks, his eyes mercurial—dark with intent to fulfill his duties to the very letter. All that you can do is nod with unabashed glee, unabashed mischief that spreads your smile wider.
"Are you gonna keep doing it?" You ask him with a sly undertone to your voice. He doesn't miss it; if there's one thing your boyfriend is good at, it's picking up on a hint.
"Sure am." He groans as he begins to consume the distance that has elapsed between you both. As he seizes his mouth against yours, and takes care to finish the job that he started.

The penthouse was swallowed in a suffocating, expensive silence, broken only by the rhythmic, wet slap of skin hitting skin and the low, frantic breathing of two people engaged in a beautiful act of malice.
The only light in the room was the cold, blue bleed of the city skyline through the floor to ceiling glass and the predatory, rhythmic pulse of a small red LED on the camera propped in the corner. That tiny blinking light was the heartbeat of the room, the silent witness to the wreckage you were building.
On the edge of the silk sheets, you held the position with a commanding, effortless grace. You were on all fours, your spine arched in a receiving curve that directed each scene of the night.
Every time Tony drives into you, his body slamming against yours with a frantic, desperate energy, a performance even. He was exuberant, his eyes darting toward the lens in the corner as if checking to ensure the angle was perfect, his movements calculated to maximise the visual impact for the man who would eventually watch this.
His large hands were wrapped firmly around your chest, pulling your breasts upward and back, forcing them to bounce in a rhythmic, hypnotic cadence that synced perfectly with the heavy, punishing thrusts of his hips.
He wanted it all captured: the sweat glistening on your skin, the way your head tossed back in a display of effortless pleasure, and the sheer, unbothered dominance in your gaze. There was no guilt in the room, only a shared, dark intoxication.
As he groaned, a low, guttural sound of pure, manic devotion, he leaned in to whisper against the shell of your ear, his breath hitching with every heavy lunge. "Look at the light, baby... make sure he sees how much you love this," he urged, his voice thick with a twisted kind of pride. He was helping you dismantle a man, piece by piece, through the sheer visual evidence of your satisfaction.
You didn't even bother to look back at him with affection; instead, you cast a sharp, predatory glance toward the blinking red eye of the camera, a smirk tugging at the corner of your lips.
You were the architect of this chaos, and Tony was your most willing, most enthusiastic demolition crew. Every time his hips collided with yours, sending a jolt of sensation through your core, you felt the delicious weight of your power.
Don't get anything wrong here, you weren't someone mourning of a lost love. No, here, wrapped in his strong arms with the zooming lens ahead— you were someone celebrating a conquest.
As Tony’s hips pushed into you with a bruising, rhythmic intensity, you let out a low, melodic laugh that sounded more like a challenge than a moan. You tilted your head back, eyes lidded and sharp, catching the glint of the camera lens.
"Hey, Tony," you purred, your voice dripping with a sly, effortless confidence that made his breath hitch. "You sure this camera is ultra 4K? It better be. It needs to catch every single detail from the way my tits bounce to the exact moment he sees how much better this feels than him."
Tony let out a choked, manic sound, half groan and half laugh, his grip tightening on your waist until his knuckles went white. He loved it. He loved the sheer, unapologetic cruelty of your satisfaction. He leaned down, his chest pressing against your back, his voice thick with a twisted kind of pride. "It'll be perfect, baby. Every inch of you. He won't be able to look away even if he tries."
He drove into you again, a deep, punishing lunge that forced a sharp, satisfied gasp from your throat. You didn't shy away from the sensation; you leaned into it, arching your back to present yourself even more brazenly to the lens. You were a masterpiece of calculated hedonism, and you knew it.
"Good," you whispered, a predatory smirk playing on your lips as you felt him shudder against you. "Because when he watches this, I want him to feel every single thrust. I want him to see exactly what he lost, and exactly how much more a real man can give me."
Tony let out a guttural groan, his movements becoming frantic, almost desperate to satisfy your demand for perfection. He'd lost himself on fucking you solely, his hands were almost worshipping you, trailing over the smooth expanse.
Tony’s breathing was a ragged, desperate thing, his chest heaving against your back as the intensity in the room reached a fever pitch. He was obsessed with the spectacle of you, satisfied to the brim.
With a low, predatory growl, he shifted his weight, his hands sliding down from your waist to the insides of your thighs. He gripped you firmly, spreading your legs just a little wider, angling your hips to ensure the camera had an unobstructed, intimate view of your most sensitive parts.
"Watch this," he hissed, his eyes fixed on the red blinking light, a manic glint in his gaze. "Watch how she takes it."
As he continued to drive into you, he reached down with his free hand, his long fingers slick and expertly poised. His thumb found your clit with a precision that was almost surgical. He began to rub, a firm, rhythmic friction designed to be as visually stimulating as it was physically devastating.
He made sure to do it right in front of the lens, a deliberate display of how easily he could unravel you.
"Look at her," he groaned, his voice a dark, gravelly rasp as he watched your reaction. "Look at how she's fucking breaking."
The sensation was overwhelming, a tidal wave of heat that started at the point of his contact and radiated through your entire body. You didn't hide the pleasure; you leaned into the vulnerability of it, letting your head fall back against his shoulder, your head tossed back in a display of sheer, unbridled ecstasy. Every gasp, every sharp intake of breath, was a deliberate note in the symphony of your triumph.
"That's it, baby... give him everything," Tony urged, his voice a feverish command. He increased the pressure of his thumb, his movements becoming faster, more relentless, ensuring the camera caught the frantic twitch of your muscles and the slick, glistening evidence of your arousal.
He was driving you toward the edge, watching your eyes glaze over with pleasure, knowing that this exact moment of vulnerability would be the most devastating thing your ex had ever seen.
The tension snapped. A shuddering orgasm ripped through you, your pussy clamping tightly around him as you cried out, a sound that was half sob and half triumph. You arched your back so hard, your breath coming in jagged, desperate hitches.
The sensation was so intense it felt like you were being unmade, but even in the throes of your release, you kept your eyes flicking back to that red light, making sure the visual of your undone state was captured in high definition.
Tony didn't let you settle. He used your release to fuel his own, his thrusts turning heavy and punishing as he chased his own peak. He watched you with a hunger that was almost terrifying, his face illuminated by the manic joy of a man who had just helped his queen win a war.
He leaned down, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin of your shoulder, his voice a wrecked, triumphant whisper. "There it is... look at that, baby. He's going to fucking die when he sees this."
The sterile, cool air of the lab was a sharp departure from the feverish heat of the penthouse, but the tension hadn't dissipated. It had simply evolved into something more cerebral, more dangerous.
You prowled lazily through the rows of humming servers and glowing holographic displays, the soft soles of your feet silent against the polished floor. In your hands, you held a sleek tablet, the screen casting a cool glow over your face as you scrolled through the raw footage.
"Damn," you murmured, a slow, satisfied smirk tugging at your lips as you watched the high definition playback of your own arched spine and the way his hands had gripped you. It was visceral, a masterpiece of spite captured in 4K.
Tony didn't even look up from his workstation, his fingers dancing across a holographic interface with the practiced ease of a man performing surgery. He was focused, his brow furrowed in concentration as he meticulously cropped the footage.
He was careful, surgical in his precision, cutting away the recognisable lines of your faces, leaving only the intimate, anonymous geometry of your bodies, the rhythmic motion of your hips, and the undeniable evidence of your pleasure. He was making sure the mystery was just as enticing as the act itself.
"How are we leaking this, though?" you asked, leaning against a sleek metal workbench, your eyes never leaving the screen. You tapped a finger against the edge of the tablet, your voice lilted with a casual, teasing curiosity. "I like the idea of videos, but 'leaks'? It sounds so... messy. Uncontrolled."
Tony finally paused, his fingers hovering over the holographic display as he turned his chair toward you. A slow, wicked grin spread across his face, the kind of expression that made it clear he had been thinking ten steps ahead of everyone else.
"It’s not a leak, baby. A leak is an accident. This? This is a targeted strike," he said, his voice dropping into that low, confident register that always signaled he was about to show off. He tapped a command, and a complex schematic of a network architecture bloomed in the air between you. "I’m not just uploading this to some random site where the whole world can see it and dilute the impact. That would be amateur hour."
He gestured to the glowing nodes of the diagram. "I’m building a private, localised server. It’s going to be a digital ghost encrypted, high security, and completely invisible to standard scrapers. But here’s the best part, I'm going to manipulate the environment variables so the access is incredibly narrow. It’s not going to be a wide open URL that anyone can stumble upon. Instead, it’ll be a gated, high level protocol. I’ll set the permissions so the server only recognises a specific set of IP addresses and device IDs specifically, your ex's phone, his laptop, and the devices belonging to his closest circle of friends."
He tapped a sequence of commands, and the holographic nodes pulsed a deep, menacing violet. "To anyone else on the internet, the server won't even exist. It’ll look like dead space, a ghost in the machine. But for them? It’ll be the most high definition, inescapable humiliation of their lives. They’ll get a notification, a direct link that bypasses every firewall they have, and they’ll be forced to watch you take exactly what you want, exactly how you want it.
Most people would have felt a chill at the sheer, surgical malice of his plan, the idea of a digital trap designed specifically to haunt a handful of men. But as you watched the violet nodes of the server architecture pulse in the air, your smile didn't falter, but it widened, turning sharp and hungry.
"That sounds great, actually," you said, your voice smooth and utterly devoid of hesitation.
Tony’s eyes locked onto yours, and for a moment, the genius engineer vanished, replaced by a man completely intoxicated by the darkness in your soul and the unadulterated joy of your shared depravity. He lived for that look the way your eyes glinted with a predatory satisfaction that most people would find terrifying, but to him, was the most beautiful thing in the world.
You turned away from his holographic masterpiece, your eyes drifting back to the raw footage on your tablet one last time. You compared it to the edited version on his screen, noting how the subtle blurring of your faces only heightened the voyeuristic intensity, focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the raw, rhythmic friction of the act itself.
It was perfect. It was anonymous enough to be a haunting mystery, but intimate enough to be a direct slap to the face.
"After this, I'm riding you," you called out over your shoulder, your voice echoing through the vast, high tech expanse of the lab. You paused at the threshold of the hallway, a mischievous, wicked glint in your eyes
"Hey, we could even make this a cam series," you added, letting out a final, melodic laugh that drifted down the hallway like a taunt.
Tony sat in the silence of the lab, the blue light of the holographic displays reflecting in his eyes. He didn't answer immediately, since he didn't really need to. He simply watched the empty space where you had just been, a slow, reverent smile spreading across his face.
He was a man who had spent his life solving equations and mastering complex systems, but you were the only variable that truly mattered. He would build empires, destroy reputations, and rewrite the very laws of digital privacy just to see that wicked, triumphant glint in your eyes one more time.
He would do absolutely anything for you, and the most terrifying part was that you didn't even have to ask.
froggi… slice of life with colossus and my life will be yours. Maybe painting together because that’s one of his hobbies? Or working in the garden? I DUNNO BUT I TRUST YOU WITH MY MAN 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Summary: you spend an afternoon painting with Piotr outside
Content/CW -> gn! reader, wholesome fluff
— requested as part of my neglect week event
froggi yaps -> i am sick today so apologies if there's any typos ;-; lowk it hurts to look at screens but f it we ball :p i hope the 8 colossus fans enjoy this <3
The bright sun above paints Piotr’s face in perfect shades of gold, reflecting off his canvas and back onto his skin. It filters through his fingers, clasped tightly around the paintbrush, and turns his dark hair reddish.
You tighten your own grip on your brush, resisting the urge to reach out and card your fingers through his hair. He’s always handsome, but under the late afternoon sun, he looks ethereal. God-like.
The muscles in his arm rib and flex while he moves his arm along the canvas, each stroke smooth and perfect. He hums to himself while he paints, some quiet song you don’t quite recognize but wish you could listen to forever.
Sitting outside the X-Mansion, the summer air rustling over your skin, you find yourself wanting to live in this moment for the rest of your life.
You turn back to your own canvas, still blank save for the background you’d started painting. You swirl your brush around in your cup of water, wracking your brain for something to paint, if only so you don’t get caught staring at your boyfriend like a creep.
You’re so caught up in your own thoughts that you don’t even notice him staring at you until he speaks.
“What are you thinking about?”
You flinch slightly and flash him a nervous smile. “Trying to find something to paint.”
He nods, tapping his chin the way he does sometimes when he’s deep in thought. It’s something you’ve always found cute, even before you started dating. One of his many little habits that he doesn’t even know he does.
“What are you painting?” You lean over slightly, trying to catch a glimpse of his canvas.
He shuffles slightly, blocking the view with his broad shoulders. “It’s a surprise.”
You bat your eyelashes at him. “Please?”
He smiles guiltily, rubbing the back of his neck. He’s always had a hard time saying no to you, the very word feeling heavy and awkward in his mouth.
You giggle slightly, shaking your head. “It’s fine, Petey.”
He breathes a sigh of relief, going back to painting on his own canvas. Despite yourself, you can’t look away from him, from the way the light paints him perfectly, the way he slightly sticks his tongue out in concentration.
You blink, an idea finally coming over you. You turn back to your canvas, dipping your brush in the paint and finally making a stroke. And then another, and then another.
The sun sinks lower on the horizon, the warm air fading to a cooler breeze as the sky darkens around you, and still, the two of you paint. You’re almost done when a particularly cold breeze washes over you, forcing a shiver up your spine.
Piotr’s eyes snap to you, concern furrowed in his brow. “You’re cold,” he frowns.
“It’s fine.”
He rises from his chair, coming to stand behind you and draping an arm across either shoulder. His large body engulfs you, skin warming yours wherever it makes contact. He raises a brow, cocking his head to the side as he looks at your painting.
“Is that…me?”
You look at him over your shoulder, smiling sheepishly. “Mhm. Do you like it?”
He reaches out a hand, thick fingers hovering over the freshly painted brushstrokes. He laughs slightly, “it’s wonderful.”
“Really?”
He nods, still chuckling to himself.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Come look,” he says, scooping you up from the stool you’ve been sitting on for hours.
You wrap your arms around his neck, body relaxing into his as he lifts you onto his own stool, sitting you directly in front of his painting. You blink. It’s a beautiful rendition of you, sitting on your stool, staring off into your canvas.
You giggle, “you painted me?”
The thought of the two of you, sitting directly next to each other and painting each other without knowing, only makes your heart swell with joy. He really is your perfect match.
He hums, “I had to, you’re so beautiful.”
You cup his jaw, leaning in to press a soft kiss to his lips. He follows your lead, moving his lips along yours. Beneath the setting sun, in the warmth of his arms, there really is no place you’d rather be.
