Bullshit repeats itself / Is that how the saying goes? / Been here a thousand times / Selective memory though
You say we're drifting apart / I said "yeah I fucking know" / Big deal we've been here before and we'll be here tomorrow
Overview: A headass couple: people acting in a "slightly delusional, somewhat cheesy bubble," oblivious to how cringy or ridiculous they appear to others.
For some reason, you'd thought yourself to be the untouchable exception to the rule that all relationships eventually hit a rough patch. Peter and you were perfect, best friends first, and then dating. There wasn't a better match than the two of you. Except, of course, until there was. Your perfect image is shattered as you realize he's hiding more from you than you'll ever know. After a rough breakup, only one person seems able to cheer you up. A certain webbed viglinate. But, wait... why does his voice sound so familiar?
a/n: There will be the occasional ridiculous name/reference; if you catch them, they're all real (including Jumboâs Clowns)Â

They say that the best foundation for a relationship is built on friendship. And you used to believe that. When you first met Peter, it was like coming together with a missing piece of yourself. Even before the romance, the dates, the sex. When it was nothing more than something wonderfully platonic, you thought everyone was right.Â
But you were delusional. Your head had been too far up your ass to realize the truth of your relationship. You werenât soulmates. You werenât any more special than anyone else dating their best friend.Â
You would think, though, that being friends with someone for years would build enough respect for them not to blatantly mistreat you. To not lie to your face when they hide where they are at night. Sure, maybe other couples who didnât know each other lied. But not you and Peter.Â
Thatâs what you thought, at least. Shows what you know.Â
Two Months Earlier
âHi,â Peter rushes into your apartment, breathless and flustered as always. You get a firm kiss to the cheek before he disappears into your bedroom.Â
Laughing slightly, you peer around the corner and try to get a glimpse of him. âEverything okay, Petey?â
You get a slight hum of acknowledgment before he goes back to what sounds like rustling through papers. Shaking your head, you bring the popcorn bowl over to the couch and wait for him to reemerge.Â
It doesnât take longer than a few minutes until heâs strolling back toward you, a slightly cocky pep to his step. You narrow your eyes at him but fail miserably at holding back a grin. âWhatcha up to, Parker?â
âWho, me?â He shrugs, playing dumb as he jumps over the back of the couch, landing on the cushion beside you. You spot something folded in his hand before he tries to hide it.Â
With little warning, you lunge forward, reaching for his hand. âHey!â He jumps back, unable to hold in his laughter. âThatâs cheating, you know?â
You donât acknowledge him, grunting in frustration as he holds his hand further and further away from you. âAlright, well, what happened to no secrets?â You push, slightly embarrassed at how breathless you sound.Â
âOh, wow,â his hand comes up, cupping your jaw as he pulls your face closer to his. âThatâs playing dirty,â he whispers. You canât subdue your smile, inching closer until your noses are brushing.Â
âYou like it when I play dirty.â Peterâs eyes widen, a visible flush on his face as your lips just barely brush together. The whisper of a kiss. He was so focused on that, he failed to notice you ripping the paper from his hands.Â
He groans as you lean back on the couch with a triumphant grin. âYouâre too easy, Parker,â you tease.Â
He props his chin on your knee, âOnly for you.âÂ
âOh God, you are so cheesy.â He opens his mouth, a stupid grin on his face. You pinch his lips together and laugh, âDonât say it again. For the sake of our relationship, please.âÂ
You release him and he presses a quick kiss to your hand before leaning back. âWell,â he nods toward the paper in your hand. âDonât you want to see what youâve won?âÂ
Excitement bubbles inside you as you unfold the small piece of paper. The printâs slightly smudged from your wrestling match, but when you bring it closer, you canât help the sharp gasp that escapes you.Â
âPeter!â Heâs smiling widely, posture relaxed and completely smug as you gush. âI canât believe you managed to get tickets.â
âOne of the guys in my lab knows someone at the museum. He owed me a favor,â he shrugs it off like itâs not a big deal. Like he didnât just get you into one of the most exclusive exhibitions in Queens.Â
He lets out a slight grunt when you toss yourself at him, arms wrapping like a vice around the back of his neck. You can feel the exhale of a laugh as he buries his head in the crook of your shoulder, arms quick to wrap around your waist.Â
âThank you,â you whisper, pulling back slightly to get a proper look at him. He keeps his grip firm, reluctant to let you get much further.Â
âYou know Iâd do anything for you,â he tells you and he has all the conviction of a man who really believes it.Â
âThatâs a big promise,â you smile. âSure you can keep it?â
ââCourse I can.â When you lean in to kiss him this time, you make sure it's real. Not the whisper of a touch, but something deeper as he pulls you into his lap completely. You donât think youâll ever get over how wonderful it is to be loved by Peter Parker.Â
âChrist,â you blow into your gloved hands and hope some of the warmth bounces back to your face. You knew it was going to be cold today, but you hadnât thought it would be a problem. Peter had said he was going to meet you outside the museum, but itâs already been fifteen minutes and youâre losing feeling in your nose.Â
He does have a mind going 100MPH most days. Usually, you like to give him a leeway on timing. But itâs absolutely freezing today and snowflakes have just started falling. If you were with your boyfriend, this would be like a scene out of a romcom.Â
Instead, itâs about to be a nature documentary on wild stood-up girlfriends freezing in Queens tundra.Â
Pulling out your phone again, you bite the thumb of your glove and tug it off. Youâve sent Peter about twenty messages, none of which have even so much as gotten a âread.â You try calling him this time, tucking the phone between your shoulder and ear as you hurriedly tug your glove back on.Â
âHey, this is Peter, you know what to do.âÂ
You roll your eyes at his voicemail. âItâs your girlfriend, Pete. But, I swear, if you make me wait any longer in this damn snow, Iâm going to be your ex.â
âGood thing you donât have to wait.â With a squeak, you whip around to find Peter standing behind you. You slap his shoulder and he bounces back with a laugh. The tip of his nose has been nipped red by the cold and his cheeks arenât much better.Â
âYouâre lucky I like you,â you snap.Â
âExtremely,â he agrees, not an ounce of sarcasm in his voice. It softens you slightly. When you can feel your fingers again, youâll consider forgiving him. He throws his arm over your shoulder, struggling slightly with the scarf triple-wrapped around you.Â
Glancing down to hang up the call, you see a little news notification pop up.Â
Spider-Man & Molten Man Spotted in Times Square
âWhatâre you looking at?â
You shake your head, tucking your phone away. âNothing.â
You send him a smile that he returns eagerly. He passes the staff your tickets and opens the door for you as you step into the museum. Youâd like for the first thing you appreciate to be the gorgeous mural on the wall in front of you. But you are far more interested in the blast of heat coming from the vents above.Â
âOh, thank God,â you grumble, blocking the door as you greedily soak up all the warmth you can.Â
âCome on, bug,â Peter laughs, tugging you along so the line of people can get by. âWeâll get you an overpriced coffee at the cafe.â
âYouâre paying,â you tell him sternly. âI still canât feel my nose.âÂ
âDeal.â Peter doesnât hesitate, just leans down and presses a quick kiss to the tip of your nose. Itâs the type of thing you used to see others do in public and gag.Â
Youâd think about how you would never be one of those touchy-feely couples. Peter makes it feel so natural, though. As if youâve been together all your life and this is just another one of your daily routines.Â
The giddy smile on your face is wide and canât even be hidden behind your scarf as you lean into him. He chuckles as he pulls you closer, taking you toward the cafe. âWhat do you want to see first?â
âI read online that theyâve got a bunch of Monets by the south entrance, weâll go there and then circle back to the front.â
âYouâve had this planned since you saw the tickets, havenât you?â
You laugh and shake your head. âSince I read about the exhibit. Remind me to thank you again when we get home.â
Peter glances down, brows raised with a cheeky look on his face. You snort and push his face away. âWhat? I didnât say anything.â
âYour face did,â you tease. Peter laughs, pressing a kiss to the top of your head as you get in line for a coffee. You donât even feel like you need it anymore. Youâve been warmed inside-out just by Peterâs presence.Â
God, when did I become such a cliche?
9:50
where the hell are you
they keep talking about distillation columns and thermo-something
you know I donât understand nerd
Checking the time on your phone for the nth time, you feel your leg begin to bounce. Something uncomfortable has tied itself around your stomach, squeezing until you canât stand one more sip of your beer.Â
Peterâs labmates celebrate around you. They keep jostling each otherâs shoulders, talking in technobabble. You have never felt as stupid as you did when Marcy asked you what your thoughts were on a plug flow reactor. Whatever the hell that is.Â
Youâd just said, âOh, yeah, theyâre great.â Sheâd smiled and slowly backed away, eagerly jumping into the next conversation.Â
Itâs not that theyâre not nice people, but this clearly isnât where youâre meant to be. Not without Peter, at least. Youâd promised to come thinking, oh, you know, that your damn boyfriend would be here.Â
10:30
Peter
Please
I feel so stupid
Nausea is thick in your throat as you hunch over the bar. Peterâs friends have all moved to a table, but you didnât feel like following. Itâs not like they were talking to you anyway. They didnât know how and you didnât either.Â
âThis is so stupid,â you mutter, dragging your hand down your face. You push away your empty beer and find yourself drawn to the TV, looking for any sort of distraction.Â
Itâs the news and, of course, Spider-Manâs swinging around the city again. His suit is bright against the night sky, and thereâs an odd shape on his head thatâs catching the snow. Leaning forward slightly, you snort when you see heâs wearing a red beanie.Â
âOf course, New York gets the weirdo for a hero,â you mutter. You grimace as you watch Spider-Man get punched down by a man who looks like heâs made himself a megazord. Pulling back the sleeve of your blouse, you sigh at the time.Â
Thereâs a tight pinch in your chest as you slide off the barstool.Â
11:02
Iâm going home
You debate saying anything else but decide not to. Tugging on your winter attire, you stop by the othersâ table and bid them all goodnight. Theyâre nice enough to say bye, but youâre pretty sure they thought you had already left.Â
The wind pushes against the barâs door as you make your way outside. Snowflakes are quick to whip at your cheeks, landing in your lashes and melting into your scarf. You pull the scarf tighter and trudge forward.Â
The cold isnât bothering you any more than your absentee boyfriend is. Youâve always been gracious with Peter about being late. Itâs a chronic sickness for him at this point and youâve been around it the majority of your life.Â
But it feels different now that youâre dating. Waiting outside an arcade or a restaurant for a friend isnât a big deal. But when youâre sitting on your own at a table in a crowded restaurant, thatâs absolute humiliation.Â
Heâs been dropping the ball a lot more lately and that hurts. But he hasnât given you any other reason to worry about the state of your relationship. So, despite the sting, youâve resolved to just swallow down the embarrassment and keep on going.Â
You hear a small thud behind you and your hand instinctively goes to your purse. Swallowing thickly, you keep walking, hoping itâs nothing more than your paranoia. Then you hear the crunch of snow behind you, the clear footsteps matching your pace. Your hand wraps around the mace Pete bought you and you whip around on them.Â
To your absolute horror, Peterâs standing behind you. He throws his hands up and lets out a nervous laugh. âOkay, an hour late is really bad, but please donât mace me.â
You tilt your head and give him a flat look. âTwo hours, actually.â
His face screws up and you cross your arms. âSweetheart, I am so sorry.â
You shake your head and turn back around. âForget it, Pete. Just go celebrate with your friends.â
Peter jogs to catch up with you and darts in front of you, a frown on his face. âWait, no, come on. Why donât you head in with me?â
You let out what can only be described as a guffaw and push past him. âAnd suffer through more questions about plug flow-whateverâs? Pass.âÂ
âPlug flow reactors?â
You glare at him over your shoulder and he fails horribly at hiding the amused look on his face. âTrying to speak nerd with them was humiliating, Peter.â His face softens at that and he reaches forward to pull you closer.Â
Out of pure stubbornness, you should resist. But standing outside in the cold is making you desperate for Peterâs insane body heat. âCome inside, just for a little while,â he brushes a hair off your cheek and smiles softly. âI swear, Iâll teach you all our science jargon.â
You roll your eyes, but he knows heâs won when you sink into him. âYouâre way too persuasive,â you snap. Peter does his best to lace your mittened hands together as he turns you back toward the bar.Â
âYeah, but you love me.â
âUnfortunately,â you glare at him, but your smile gives you away.Â
For once in your relationship, youâre the one running late. Something you know Peter is about to take far too much joy in. Heâs already sent about fifteen texts. The majority of them bemoan being all alone and then asking if this is how you always feel. Those were followed by an influx of apologies.Â
Youâre not thinking about the texts, though, as you jog down the street. You spot Peter waiting outside the diner, leaning against the wall. Heâs got his phone in his hands, fingers moving rapidly across the screen.Â
Sure enough, you can hear your phone ding with yet another passive-aggressive text. âWould you quit it?â You demand, completely out of breath, as you stop in front of him.Â
He tosses his head back dramatically and groans. âGod, finally. I thought you were just going to leave me out here to freeze.â
âWould serve you right,â your brows furrow. âWhenâd you get this?â You flick the edge of the red beanie shoved over his hair.Â
Peter shrugs and readjusts it. âI dunno, Iâve had it forever.â You frown, biting your lip as you think. You swear to god you know it from somewhere, but you mustâve just seen Peter in it before and forgot.Â
He holds the door of the diner open for you and lets out a relieved breath as you both step into the warmth. You would feel bad for him if he hadnât done this to you five times within two weeks.Â
âHow come you wanted toâŚâ The go to this place so bad trails off into a laugh. You should have known when he kept badgering you about coming here.Â
Plastered floor to ceiling are comic book characters, clips from the stories, and various forms of memorabilia. Youâre absolutely surrounded by a hundred different fandoms, and youâre honestly surprised Peter hasnât had a heart attack yet.Â
âI really should have seen this coming.âÂ
Peter laughs and leads you over to an empty table. A busty woman with a purple leotard stares you down from where sheâs painted on the wall. You give Peter a flat look and he flushes.Â
âI mean⌠the name is Strips.â
âOh, seriously, Parker. Why would my mind immediately go to comics? I was worried you were taking me to a strip club or something.â
Peter wrinkled his nose and frowned. âThatâs way too on the nose. Iâd take you somewhere classy like Jumboâs Clown Room.â
Your lips part and you just shake your head. âI donât want to know if thatâs a real place. And if it is, I donât want to know how you found out about it.â
âBlame Flash,â he mutters as a waitress comes over with a coffee pot.Â
You smile and thank her as she walks away. âOh, I donât think Iâve gotten a chance to tell you about this, yet.â Peter perks with interest and a wide smile blooms on your face. âYou know how I was trying forever to be Professor Beeterâs TA. The position never opened but,â you trail off slightly as the people behind you start getting loud.Â
âOh my god, he is wrecking this place!â Frowning, you glance over your shoulder and take a look at what theyâre watching. Someoneâs phone is propped in the middle of the table and you see yet another ridiculous villain punching through the Chrysler building.Â
Rolling your eyes, you settle back in your seat. âWhat was I saying?â
âUm,â Peterâs leg bounces under the table and his gaze shoots toward the door. âIâm not sure.â
You frown, watching him warily as he grows more antsy. âOh, itâs about Professor Beeter. He offered me a-â
âSweetheart,â he interrupts you and jumps to his feet. âIâm so sorry, but I just remembered I promised I would help May today.â He presses a kiss to the top of your head.Â
âWhat? Peter! You wanted to come here!â Heâs already running out the door. You watch, astounded, as he races past the window like hellâs nipping at his heels. You sink back into your seat with a stunned expression and your heart aching.Â
Clearing your throat, you look up to find your waitress giving you a pitying look. She offers you a sympathetic smile that only makes you sick to your stomach. Grabbing your bag and coat, you jump out of the booth, rushing outside.Â
What the hell is going on with him? You think, glaring down the street where Peter had gone. Pinching the bridge of your nose, you swallow down a lump in your throat and decide to just head back home.Â
After his abrupt exit, you havenât heard from Peter all day. Youâve sent him a few texts, checking in on him and asking about May, but you only got one answer before he went AWOL.Â
You:
Everything good with May?
Petey:
Yeah
Her pilot was out had to make sure she had heat
After that, youâve gotten nothing from him. Also, as far as youâre aware, May doesnât use gas for heat. Peter hooked her up with better appliances forever ago.Â
Itâs as youâre dialing Mayâs number that you have to try and convince yourself you havenât gone total psycho girlfriend. Itâs perfectly normal to want to check on your boyfriend. Especially after how he was acting today. The line only rings a few times before she picks up.Â
âHello?â
âHey, May.â
She says your name and you practically hear the smile in your voice. âHey, sweetie. How are you?â
âFine,â you answer quickly. âI just wanted to be see how Peteâs doing?â
Sheâs silent for a moment too long. She clears her throat and you frown at the pitch of her voice. âOh, yeah, Peteâs fine. Iâd let him talk to you, but heâs busy right now.â
You hum, fingers twisting your hoodie (Peterâs hoodie) strings as your stomach ties itself into a knot. âRight. Uh, whatâd he say he was helping you with, again?â
âCleaning out the gutters. Apparently, it can be a fire hazard or something, Iâm not sure.â
Your body goes cold while something venomous rushes up your throat. âOkay,â you can barely hear your own voice. âIâll let you go, then.â You hang up before she can respond, phone slipping from your hand and clattering to the ground.Â
âOh, my god,â you let out a panicked whisper, smoothing your hands over your hair as you try to think of a reasonable explanation. But there are no anniversaries, no birthdays, nothing special coming up that he might be lying about for a surprise.Â
Youâre honestly more shocked that May would lie to you. Growing up, sheâd always seemed like the type of woman to protect a girl from sleaze-bag boyfriends.Â
So maybe that means Pete isnât doing anything bad. Maybe sheâs covering for him for a good reason.Â
So, why can't you think of one damn reason May would lie to you?
You donât want to start spiraling for no reason. People lie, not just boyfriends, and not always for insidious reasons. Plucking your phone off the floor, you call Gwen. Sheâs usually good at pulling you out of your head when you start getting bad.Â
The phone rings a few times before she finally answers. âHey, whatâs up?â
You frown and cross your arms across your stomach, trying to keep the nausea down. âWhy do you sound so out of breath?â
âWhat?â She clears her throat but that only makes her sound worse. âNo, Iâm not. Did you need something?â
âUh,â slightly taken aback by her tone, you struggle to find the right words.Â
âGwen!â Your heart beats ruthlessly against your ribs as your entire body stills.Â
âIs that Peter?â You know it is. You could pick his voice out of a crowd if you were blindfolded.Â
Gwen lets out a tense hum. âYeah, it is. Uh, he was helping me with some chem stuff. So, I gotta go. Call me later, yeah?â
Sheâs hanging up before you can say anything else. Your hands are trembling as you set your phone on the table. Squeezing your throat to try and keep the lump back, you shake your head.Â
Thereâs a reasonable explanation for everything. Right?
The nauseaâs still coiled tight around you by the time Peter gets to your apartment. Your eyes are staring blankly at the wall, the only light coming from your window. Youâre not sure how long youâve been lying there. Trying and failing to sleep as you consider all the reasons Peter might have lied to you.Â
Why he would be with Gwen instead of you.Â
You hear him padding through the hall and shut your eyes, tugging the blanket slightly over your head.Â
âBug?â He calls softly. Heâs quiet as he approaches the bed. He brushes a hair off your cheek and leans down to press a kiss to your temple. âYou awake?â
Part of you wants to tell the truth. She wants to spring up and start laying into him, demanding to know why he lied. And the other half, sheâs a coward. So, you stay curled into a ball, eyes closed, and pretending like youâre not falling apart.Â
Peter lets out a low groan as he settles in your bed behind you. It takes everything in you not to jerk away when he wraps his arm around your stomach, pulling you into his chest. The last thing you want right now is to have him touching you. But saying that requires being awake.Â
And thatâs more painful than a sleepless night.Â
Peter wakes up slowly, his body aching after last night. Heâs not sure who decided a âliving robotâ was a good idea. But his ribs are paying the price.Â
Stretching, he ignores the twinge of pain along his side. His arm gropes blindly along the sheets, searching for you, for your warmth. When his fingers brush against the wall, he reluctantly opens his eyes.Â
He frowns when he realizes youâre not in bed beside him. Turning toward the rest of the apartment, he doesnât hear you. Youâre not in the shower or humming in the kitchen.Â
With something cold settling inside him, he gets out of bed. âSweetheart?â He calls out, hoping to hear you answer. Itâs Saturday, and while itâs never been something youâve both spoken aloud, traditionally, you spend all day in bed together. Just crashing from stressful weeks and overloaded uni schedules.Â
âBug?â He tries again, wandering through your apartment. He already knows, deep down, that youâre not in here. But he doesnât want to accept it. Heâs barely had any time for you this week and he was really looking forward to just being lazy with you all day.Â
In the kitchen, pinned to your fridge, he finds a pink note with his name on it.Â
Prof. Beeter asked me to come in. Someone messed up last weekâs research log
Should be home for lunch <3
The only thing stopping him from spiraling is the little heart at the bottom of the note. He knows itâs silly, but heâs slightly worried that youâre mad at him. He canât explain where the feelings are coming from, but it's gnawing along the back of his mind.Â
Peter glances at the clock and groans. Itâs only 9, and lunch to you is usually 2 OâClock. Heâs not sure if heâs patient enough to last that long. Peter glances at the note again and leaves it on the counter to go get dressed.Â
He had Professor Beeter last semester and they got along pretty well. Heâs sure the older man wouldnât mind Peter bugging you for a little while.Â
Still heavy with the feeling that heâs done something wrong, Peter brought along your favorite sweet treat from the cafe on campus. Hopefully, that will soothe his worries and give you a boost for the day. He knows you look forward to Saturdays just as much as he does.Â
Peterâs heading toward the lecture hall when his brain finally catches up with the rest of your note. What research were you talking about? You hadnât told him you were a part of any projects.Â
Heâs always yapping to you about his labs. He figured you would do the same. Maybe itâs new, he thinks.Â
Pushing open the door, he spots you immediately. Youâre at a desk, papers and books piling all around you. There are three other people with you, each of whom he has a vague recollection of.Â
âI mean, I donât even know how weâre supposed to salvage this.â Your voice sounds strained, completely pulled taut. Peter frowns, wishing he could just take your problems and shoulder them for you.Â
âItâll be okay,â one of the girls assures you.Â
You finally lift your head from your hands. âTwelve pages with zero references, weâre going to be at this all damn day.â Peter draws back slightly, suddenly wondering if this is such a good idea.Â
He knows how testy you can get about school. Especially major projects. Sometimes just leaving you alone seems to work better than smothering. But, then, before he can back out, one of the girls, he thinks her nameâs Mila, catches sight of him.Â
âPeter?â She calls out. Your eyes instantly snap to him. If he thought you were angry at him before, he does not feel any better now. Your gaze is sharp, lips in a flat line, and thereâs absolutely nothing on your face except perpetual irritation.Â
âWhatâre you doing here?â You snap and your voice is way sharper than he was expecting. Holding his hands up slightly, he approaches slowly. He doesnât want to treat his girlfriend like a stray dog, but you look ready to go for someoneâs jugular.Â
âI thought you might want something to eat. Figured you didnât have any time before you left to get something.â
Mila and the other girl both aw over him and it gives him the briefest amount of hope. But then youâre shoving out of your chair and storming toward him. Peter swallows roughly as you approach. He almost wishes he were fighting that living-fire guy right now.Â
You snatch his sleeve in your hand and drag him back toward the door. âPeter, why are you here?â You demand, voice lowered so the others can't hear.Â
He frowns and shrugs helplessly. âItâs Saturday, we always spend Saturday together.â
You cross your arms, a sharp, derisive look on your face. Okay, definitely mad. âOh, so you can remember dates now? Whatâs next? Are you going to show up on time for once?â
âHey,â he objects, hoping to lighten the mood. âI was on time yesterday.â
Your eyes narrow and something on your face goes blank. He canât place it exactly, but itâs like thereâs a wall where he can usually read you so well. âYeah, doesnât count if you ditch me ten minutes later, babe.â
The venom in your voice makes him take a step back. He looks down, knowing youâre right. But he doesnât want you any more mad than you are, instead of addressing it, he nods toward your desk.Â
âWhatâs going on here?â
âWeâre working on the dementia research project with Professor Beeter.â
Peter wants to light up, to hug you, and congratulate you for finally getting an in with the professor youâve been trying to work with since last year. But you deliver him the news so flatly he feels like youâd only get more mad.
âYou didnât tell me about that,â he says instead. Which is very clearly the wrong answer, by the way you back off with a sharp scoff.Â
âIâm not sure when I would have, Peter. I got placed two weeks ago and I havenât seen you for more than an hour since then. Besides, when I tried to tell you yesterday, you fucking bolted to Mayâs.â You pause, and your lips curl up into something cruel. âOr was it Gwenâs place? Sorry, I canât remember which lie you bullshited your way through.â
Peter feels his heart drop to his feet. Itâs like a film goes over his eyes as his mind scrambles for any explanation that isnât âI was busy beating up a robot with a weird, creepy human brain in it.â Because heâs pretty sure that would be grounds enough for you to dump him right now.Â
You really donât give him a chance, either way. You snatch the bag from his hand and the smile drops from your face. âThanks for the visit. You can go now.â You turn back toward your teammates without another look at him. âHungry?â You call out to Mila.
She gives a hesitant nod and you toss Peterâs pastry at her. âDig in.â Even when you sit down, you donât look up from your books. Not even a twitch as he opens the door.Â
Peter walks out, still slightly numb from the whole⌠argument? Did that even count as an argument? Or was that just you finally calling him out?
Youâve let him get away with a lot and maybe he took advantage of that, but heâs worried you might have the wrong idea. He doesnât know why you would bring up Gwen, but the tone of your voice was so accusatory that he feels sick to his stomach.Â
Yes, he was at her house last night. But thatâs because he needed to be stitched up. Sheâs known about Spider-Man since high school. It was either bleed out or have her use her beginner's sewing kit.Â
Peter lets out a shaky breath and runs his hands through his hair restlessly. Youâve both gotten into worse fights before. Itâs not like you were a perfect couple. Surely, you could find a way to get over this. He just needs a half-decent excuse for his lying.
Peter perks up as he hears you step into the apartment. He glances at the clock and grimaces. Youâre going to be pissed that you had to stay there until 6, fixing someone elseâs screwup. When you round the corner and see him, he hears you let out one of the most exhausted noises heâs ever heard from you.Â
âPeter,â he finally turns to meet your eye. âWhy are you here?â
His chest clenches as he forces a smile. âI figured you would be hungry.â
You pinch the bridge of your nose. âAre you ever at your own place?â
Ouch. âI just wanted to make you dinner. Iâll be out of your hair as soon as itâs done, bug.â
You shrug off your jacket and take a seat at the kitchen island. Peter takes your silence as agreement and goes back to stirring the pasta. When you speak again, his ears practically touch his shoulders. This dreadful feeling in his stomach has just been mounting all day. He feels ready to vibrate out of his own skin.
âPeter, where were you last night? I want the truth.â
Peterâs hand clenches around the spoon and he keeps his back to you. âWent over to Mayâs to help around the house and then I saw Gwen.â
You let out a loud scoff and your hands slap against the counter. âDid you all get your stories straight? Am I hearing the right lie, now?âÂ
Peter drops the spoon and turns to face you. He expects anger, maybe sadness. But youâre not giving him anything. Youâre just⌠cold and Peter hates it. Heâs seen you use that look before. Itâs always been directed at people you donât care about. You donât hate them, you donât love them, you just⌠donât care. He doesnât want to be someone you donât care about. He canât be.Â
âLook me in the eye,â you command. âTell me the truth.â
Peter takes in a steadying breath, doing his best not to make it obvious. âSweetheart, I swear, I went to help May with the heat and the gutters. Gwen called and she needed my help on her chemistry project. Iâm sorry that I got home late-â
âI canât,â you clear your throat and the way your voice cracks makes his heart ache. âI canât believe that youâre just going to stand there and lie to me.â
He shakes his head and takes a desperate step forward. âNo, bug, Iâm-â
You hold your hand up and his jaw snaps shut. âYouâve talked Peter, now itâs my turn. I have put up with a lot from you. If anyone treated me the way you do, you know what you would tell me?â
He opens his mouth and you shoot him a look that makes him shrink into himself. âDo not answer that, I am still talking. You would tell me to cut them out. If someone doesnât respect my time, my dates, if they lie straight to my fucking face, then thatâs not someone who deserves to be in my life. You are never on time, if you even show up at all.â
He wants to object, he really does, but he knows youâre right. Still, you must sense his apprehension. âScroll through our texts from the past two months. Itâs just a block of me asking where you are and telling you how stupid I feel. Then you show up, make everything better, and I just let you get away with it. Because I have known and loved you for so long, I let you disrespect me. I can handle missing dates, I can handle not being on time, always being at my place and never letting me over at yours. But I canât do this, I canât just swallow down you lying straight to my face. Getting your aunt and my best friend involved in this is sick, Pete. What do you expect me to think when Gwenâs lying about why youâre at her place?â
âNo, sweetheart,â he finally speaks, rushing toward you, voice breaking on something desperate. He reaches for you, but you jerk back and he swears something cracks open inside him. âI would never.â
âYeah,â you whisper. âWhy would I ever believe you?â
Peter flounders. He tries to think of anything. Anything that isnât a lie and isnât the truth about who he is. But his mind is blank. The panic flooding through him is overriding anything that might get you back, might get you in his arms again.Â
You suck your teeth and give him a jerky nod. âWhy do I feel like Iâm losing you?â He whispers, afraid that if he speaks any louder, he might actually cry.Â
âI think this has been happening for a long time, Peter. Itâs just your first time realizing it.â
No, no, he canât handle that. He canât handle knowing that this awful, barbed feeling ripping through him is how heâs made you feel for so long. But he canât just spill his guts and tell you everything.Â
Right after Gwen had discovered him, it was like the bad guys had a missile lock on her. She kept getting thrown into danger, nearly dying, because of him. He canât be the reason you get hurt. He canât live with that.Â
But heâs hurting you either way and for once, he canât think of a way to make this all smooth over.Â
You take in a sharp breath and turn away from him. You walk to the stove, turning off the burner as the food begins to smoke. âI think you should go, Peter.â
âBug,â but he doesnât have anything to say and you still wonât look at him. He just wants you to look at him. He feels as if you did, if you saw how sorry he was, something here might be fixed.Â
âIâm going to take a shower. When Iâm done, I expect you to be gone.â You toss the pot in the sink and head down the hall, not another word spared for him. And PeterâŚ
He just spirals. Every mistake, every time he showed up late, just pummels into him as he realizes this is all his fault.Â
You turned off your phone yesterday. The missed calls and texts from Peter were bordering on obnoxious and you couldnât take it anymore. Even Gwen kept trying to call you. Kept texting you that itâs not what you think.Â
But did they ever offer any other explanation?
No, they fucking didnât.
So, not only did you lose your boyfriend, the man youâve been in love with as long as youâve known him. You also lost your best friend.Â
Best. Week. Ever.
Sick of being sad in your bed, you decide to go be sad outside. Maybe just grab a pint of ice cream from the bodega and lock yourself inside your apartment for the rest of your life. That sounds like a decent plan.Â
Leaving your phone, you grab your keys and some cash. Itâs still cold outside, though the snow has calmed down a little bit. It soaks through your tennis shoes, now, seeps along the hem of your sweatpants. No part of you can be bothered to care about that as you trudge toward the shop.Â
Itâs unusually quiet as you walk inside. Usually itâs a lot busier this time of night. Maybe the universe decided to give you a break.Â
Digging through the freezer section, you frown when you donât see your favorite flavor. You turn toward the shop owner, Al, who has gotten used to you coming down here the past few days. âYou guys donât have any more Turtlesaurus Rex?â
Alâs silent and you frown, finally turning to fully face him. A man in a black jacket lingers by the counter, hands stuffed deep in his pockets. Al gives you a tense smile, and your brows furrow as dread picks at you.Â
âAll out. Maurie down the street might have some.â Thereâs something about how wide his eyes are thatâs making you think you probably should have brought your phone. Especially because you definitely just saw the handle of a gun in that manâs jacket and you really need to call the cops. (Even though they probably wonât do anything.)
âYeah, Iâll go check over there.â
âHave a good night.â
You try not to sound stiff as you return the sentiment. But youâve barely made it to the door when you hear the distinct sound of a hammer being pulled back.Â
âYou think Iâm stupid?â What a wonderful time this would be for a freak in red and blue spandex to show up.Â
You turn slowly and shake your head, absolutely zero idea how to defuse this.Â
âI think the ladyâs just being polite. Personally, I donât think Iâve ever seen someone encapsulate the term âmouth-breatherâ so well.â
Your eyes widen, and you whip around to see Spider-Man standing at the entrance of the bodega. What the fuck is your life?Â
âHey, jackass,â you hiss, and his head whips toward you. âWhoâs he pointing the gun at?â
Spider-Man shrugs, âWhat gun?â You barely have a second to blink before a thick white string is twhip-ing past you and jerking the gun out of the manâs hands.Â
âSmartass,â you mutter under your breath.Â
âI think you mean, âthank you, Spider-Man for saving my life,ââ you shoot him a flat look and walk out of the bodega. Maybe itâs time to just accept that youâre not meant to be in the outside world. Youâre better off cocooned in your bed.Â
There are no robbers there. No cheating boyfriends and conniving best friends.Â
About a minute later, you hear rapid footsteps approaching. âI donât have a purse, phone, or wallet.â
âWow, great mugger-deterrent. I totally donât want to rob you now.â
You plant your feet in the snow and hear Spider-Man let out a sharp breath as he skids around you. âI thought you were the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Not the quippy, neighborhood pervert who follows girls around at night.â
Spider-Man lets out a noise that can only be described as a guffaw. âIâm making sure you get home safely. Since clearly you donât care. I mean, who walks around this late at night without mace at least?â
âMe,â you tell him flatly.Â
âPretty girls shouldnât be walking around here on their own.â
Your lips curl and you gag as you continue toward your apartment. âOkay, first of all, totally not helping with your creep angle.â He groans and you almost laugh at the defeated sound. âAlso, Iâm fresh off a break-up, so keep the compliments to yourself.â
âWhoa, whoa, whoa,â Spider-Man quickly jumps in front of you and you frown as he blocks your way. âBreakup,â his voice is pitched so high, you swear it almost sounds familiar. âYou broke up with someone?â
âUh⌠yeah.â
âR-really?â He tries to lean against a lamppost, slips, and then straightens awkwardly like he meant to do that. âBecause you know sometimes people think that itâs just a break and not a breakup, you know? Big difference. Are you sure this isnât just a break?â
Heâs talking so rapidly you can barely understand him. It doesnât help that heâs got that mask on, so you canât try to catch the words on his lips to decipher them. You think you might have gotten half of that word-vomit.
âWell, Iâm the one who did it. I feel like I should know.â
âDoes he?â He holds up his hands, quick to correct himself. âOr she? Spider-Man doesnât judge.â
âOh, good to know, heâs a pervert, but at least heâs an ally.â You push past him. âLook, if he doesnât know, then heâs a lot stupider than I gave him credit for.â
You hear a low, âOuch,â behind you and figure you might be being a tad harsh about Peter. But what the hell would Spider-Man care?
âYou know,â Spider-Man continues after you.Â
Jesus, heâs like a damn dog.
âIâve always believed that everyone deserves a second chance.â
You glare over at him and swear you see the eyes of his mask turn down. Youâve never seen a mask emote before; itâs incredibly bizarre. âDo they deserve a second chance after sleeping with your best friend?â
Spider-Man shrugs, throwing his hands in the air. âDo you have evidence that it happened, though?â
âDude,â you snap. âWhat do you care? And what other evidence would I need besides the fact that he wouldnât tell me the truth? If there was nothing to hide, why would he continue to hide shit?â
You hear his inhale of breath and shake your head, holding your hands up. âNo, you know what, no. Alright? I didnât get my Turtlesaurus Rex and I am not going to listen to some weirdo in a unitard give me relationship advice.â
âUnitard?â He scoffs. âIâm not a weirdo.â
âOh, yeah?â You call over your shoulder. âThen stop following me home!â It takes a few minutes to believe heâs actually gone and you can finally breathe again. What weird ass fever dream was your life turning into?
You sit on the ledge of your roofâs building, a blanket wrapped around your shoulders. Youâre scrolling through all the texts Peterâs sent you in the last three hours. There are at least fifty of them. But itâs the one at the end that really catches your eye.Â
Is this really it? Are we done? Bug-
You stop reading at the nickname and put your phone down. Reluctantly, Spider-Manâs words from the other night pop into your head. Some people think it's a break, not a breakup.
How could Peter not have gotten the message by now?
âFancy meeting you here.â
You let out a screech and jolt forward. Arms winding wildly as you try to regain your balance. The city tilts below you until somethingâs latched onto the back of your shirt and youâre suddenly being pulled into a firm chest.Â
âWhy would you sit on the edge?â Again, his voice gets an impressively shrill pitch.Â
Shoving away from him, you whip around and slap his shoulder. âWhy would you scare someone sitting on the edge?â
You can hear his sharp intake of breath before his argument fizzles out. âThatâs what I thought Spider-Boy-â
âMan.â
âWhatever.â You walk back to the edge and rewrap yourself in your blanket. With a pointed glare over your shoulder, you hop right back on your perch. Spider-Man lets out a world-weary sigh before he jumps up beside you.Â
âYou know,â he drawls. âMost people say thank you when a superhero saves you.â
âOh,â you laugh. âIs that what you are, now? A superhero?â
âDude. What is your problem?â His voice goes so flat, all humor sucked out of it, that, for some weird reason, itâs the first thing heâs said to get a real laugh out of you. He seems just as confused as you are if the way he tosses his hands up means anything.Â
âI cannot figure you out.â
You shake your head and brush a stray curl from your eyes. âItâs not you, Bugboy-â
âRude.â
âItâs life,â you spread your palms out, gesturing to the sprawling city across from you. âJust broke up with the love of my life. Lost my bestie. The research project Iâve been trying to join for a year is falling apart at the seams. Oh, and I almost got shot yesterday.â
You point your face to the sky and let out a dramatic sigh. âGod hates me.â
Thereâs a light nudge on your arm and you look over to see that Spider-Manâs moved closer to you. âGod doesnât hate you.â
âOh, yeah?â
âYeah. Because I didnât let you get shot. Iâd say thatâs pretty damn lucky.â You snort and from the mask, you think heâs⌠pleased? Itâs really hard to tell.Â
âI guess thatâs fair.âÂ
Spider-Man lets out a satisfied hum as he turns to the city. âYou gotta stop being so hard on yourself, bug.â
Your entire body goes still. Your eyes widen as they stare down at your lap, adrenaline rushing through your blood as you turn toward Spider-Man. âWhatâd you say?â You ask, voice so low youâre surprised he even registers it.Â
He shrugs, âI said to stop being so hard on yourself.â
âNo, you called me something. Whatâd you call me?â
âBug,â Spider-Man drawls and you swear youâre going crazy because that voice is painfully familiar. âYou called me Bugboy, I thought it would be fair.â
Itâs too hard to distinguish whether this swooping feeling in your stomach is relief or disappointment. And you hate yourself for not knowing which one you want it to be.Â
âRight,â you scoff and rub your eyes. âIâm going crazy, now.â
Spider-Man lets out a long sigh as he watches you. âYou kind of seem like youâre having a mental breakdown. Maybe, I donât know, get off the edge of the very tall building.â
âOh, donât tell me Bugboyâs got a crush.â
Your lips curl at his scoff. âYouâre impossible.â
Feeling only slightly guilty for the hell youâve given him, you slip off the edge and get your feet planted firmly on the ground. âBetter?â
He surveys you suspiciously before nodding. You pick your phone up off the ledge and, for some reason, are compelled to open up the texts with Peter. You should have guessed how nosey Spider-Man was going to be about it.Â
âThat the ex?â
You shoot him a flat look as he kicks his legs over the ledge. âYeah. Thatâs the ex.â
âSo, what are you going to tell him?â He motions toward the last text. âBreak or breakup?â Your mind snags on how Peter called you bug and Spider-Manâs weird slip-up before you force yourself to dispel the thoughts.Â
âBreakup. I guess I should have made it more clear.â Your fingers hover over the keyboard before you shoot Spider-Man a look. His back has gone weirdly tense and you frown. âHey, youâre a guy. Howâs the nicest way to tell him itâs done.â
âDonât.â His voice is clipped, almost angry. âHeâll get the hint. Trust me.âÂ
Your brows furrow as you eye him warily. âAre you okay?â
âGotta go. Superhero business, you know?â You shrug, but he doesnât seem to care. Heâs already leaping off the ledge, thwip-ing his way to the building across from yours.Â
âWeirdo,â you scoff.Â
You figured that after Spider-Manâs abrupt departure on the roof, that would be the end of it. But, no, itâs only gotten worse for you. Heâs everywhere now. Heâs somehow more consistent than your ex ever was.Â
Walking home from late research sections, look who wants to be a walking buddy.Â
Heading to the bodega for a midnight snack, somehow, Spider-Man had the same idea.Â
Your life is now a Sunday comic strip in the paper. Itâs like thereâs some sadistic artist out there exploiting your misery for humor. Itâs not just him, either. Itâs the month. In all your drama with Peter, youâd failed to keep up with the dates.Â
Now, freshly single for the first time in a couple of years, you sit alone preparing yourself for the next week. Valentineâs Day is Saturday, which means suffering through pink streamers all over campus and girls walking around with gift baskets lovingly curated by their boyfriends.Â
âI donât like how often I find you on this ledge.â
You spare a glance over your shoulder and smile. âI donât like that you still havenât learned not to scare me.â
âTouche,â Spider-Man breathes out, taking quick strides toward you. âYou seem tense. Feel like sharing? Iâm a great listener.â
âNothing big, just Valentineâs Day. Iâve had a boyfriend for so long I forgot how bitter and annoying it is for single people.â
âTell me about it,â he sighs.Â
âReally? The Spider-Man is single?â
âI appreciate the surprise in your voice, no matter how forced it is.â You let out a wry chuckle and you swear you can hear a smile in his laugh.Â
âProbably a good thing, though. I canât imagine any girlfriend would be happy with the amount of time you spend on this ledge with me.â
âNo,â he agrees, âprobably not.â The next noise he lets out is soft, tired in the kind of way that resonates with you. For the most part, your interactions are shallow. Thereâs banter, stupid quips, and then heâs off. You donât usually hear something so real from him.Â
âFreshly single?â You ask. His head whips toward you and you shrug. âI recognize the misery of your sigh. It resonates within my withered heart.â
Spider-Man swats your shoulder lightly and you grin. âYeah, itâs fresh. I still donât think Iâve accepted it.â
You prop your chin in your hand and smile at him. âWhat level of not accepted are we talking here? Stalking? Or just crying over Instagram posts?â
Spider-Man goes quiet and you pull back. He recognizes the suspicion on your face and waves his hands. âNo, no, no, this doesnât count as stalking. Not really. I mean, itâs consensual?â
He sounds more unsure of himself at the end than you did. âLet's just not talk about that,â you offer. âI donât think I want to know what your idea of consensual stalking is.â Spider-Man snorts and you shake your head.Â
A billboard across from you catches your eye. Itâs Gwenâs favorite band, an announcement that theyâll be coming through soon. Thereâs a sharp ache in your chest when you remember you canât just text her about stuff like that anymore.Â
âGwen would love that,â you say, almost without thinking.Â
But whatâs worse is when the man beside you doesnât think either. âOh, yeah, she would.â
Consensual
Stalking
Oh. My. God.Â
Your entire body stiffens as you turn to Spider-Man/maybe your ex-boyfriend. He doesnât seem to realize his slip-up and that just makes you freeze up. You donât know what to do. You canât just blindly accuse him of being Peter. If you start hinting at secret identities, he might stop talking to you.Â
Loathe as you are to admit it, youâve begun to enjoy his company. The main reason being he reminded you of how it was with Peter before you guys started dating.Â
Oh, Jesus, youâre gonna throw up off the ledge of your building. When the pavement below seems to swim up to you, itâs time to slip off the ledge. Slowly, fighting off the vertigo of your discovery, you drop back to safety.Â
Spider-Man watches you, head tilted in question. âUm, I have to go.â You search for an excuse, but none comes. âYeah, I have to go.â
âOh,â he seems taken aback, but doesnât comment. âAlright. Iâll see you later?â
You let out a noise between a hum and a squeal as you rush back into your apartment building. Your mind is racing while you scramble through the door of your apartment. Like a detective, you flit through different memories, red string connecting each one as you start to line up Peterâs disappearances with Spider-Man's greatest hits.
Every missed date, every time he showed up late, it was all right there. But you never thought to connect it because⌠Well, why would you? Peter is Peter. Heâs not a superhero. He definitely doesnât have webs. Please, donât let him have webs.Â
Scrambling for your phone, you dial the first number you can think of. Itâs barely ringing before itâs getting picked up. âGwen,â your voice is incredibly shaky as you try to calm yourself down. âIâm going to ask you something and if you donât tell me the truth, weâre never talking again.â
Spider-Man/Peter Parker/ex-boyfriend-
No, no, too many titles. Peter has not been around in the past week. Not as his alter ego, and not at his lectures. Unfortunately, a lot of your schedule seems to intersect and the majority of your day is spent hiding in a hoodie and trying not to make eye contact.Â
But there hasnât been any of that at all this week.Â
Maybe Gwen told him you know. Heâs probably losing his mind right now.Â
But, no, she swore she wouldnât and you know sheâs not going to risk hurting your friendship again. Though you did profusely apologize for ever thinking that she could do that to you. And then she berated you about thinking she would ever be attracted to Peter.Â
Which⌠Ouch.Â
Itâs Saturday, which used to mean days spent with him. Instead, it now means watching people get all mushy on Valentineâs Day. That used to be you, disgustingly in love, kissing way more than you should in public.Â
Now, you watch it all on the subway with that same old glare you used to have before Peter. Youâre thinking about him a lot more than you want to. Especially given that heâs supposed to be an ex.Â
After your long speech on respect and boundaries and honesty, you should be completely over him. But it sort of makes sense now. Especially after Gwen told you what happened to her when she found out about him.Â
Peter wanted to protect you. You can understand that. But it doesnât just erase all of the pain you felt while you were in the dark. You let out a low groan, ignoring the people around you as you walk home. You just keep going in circles over and over again.Â
The streets around you begin to thin out the closer to home you get. Youâre still so deep in thought, you donât notice the man dangling in front of you until your forehead is smacking into his.Â
âOw,â you hiss, pressing your palm to the bruise thatâs probably already forming. Backing up, Spider-Man, Peter, is dangling from the small overpass, upside down, as he waits for you.Â
âDude,â you drawl. âHow long have you just been hanging out here?â
He shrugs, âAn hour, maybe.â Only in Queens would people pass by a dangling man in spandex and not question a thing.Â
One of his hands is tucked behind his back, and the other is holding onto his webbing. âHere,â he says. âIâve got something for you.â
He untucks his free hand and passes you a bright pink, smothered in glitter, Valentine's Day card. You can hear his proud smile as he asks, âBe my Valentine?â
Narrowing your eyes at him, you shake your head with a low laugh. This is the dork you fell in love with. The boy you swore you would follow anywhere. Itâs not his fault heâs such an idiot, not really.Â
Something soothes the ever permanent ache in your heart as you imagine the smile heâs probably got plastered on face. God, you bet heâs so proud of himself for this silly little Valentine.Â
A deep longing echoes through you and you reach up, going for the edge of his mask, when he reels back. âWhatâre you-â
âRelax, Parker,â you whisper. He goes completely still and you take hold of the mask.Â
âDid Gwen tell you?â
âYou did, dumbass. You know, youâre really bad at the whole secret identity thing when it comes to consensually stalking your ex.â He lets out a low groan as you peel down his mask, just enough for his lips to be visible.Â
Pulling back, you take his face in your hands and smile. âDo you want me as your Valentine, or not?â
âWhat do you think, bug?â With a soft laugh, you lean forward and press your lips to his. It takes a second to get the angle right, what with his chin brushing your nose and all. But you donât need perfect, you just need him.Â
Pulling back, heâs got a goofy grin on his face and you smirk. âParker?â He hums as you fix his mask. âIf you ever lie to me again, Iâll cut a hole in the crotch of your unitard. Or, worse second option, Iâll tell Jonah Jameson where you live. Got it?â
He goes still and you raise a brow. âYouâre not joking?â You shake your head, expression flat. âYeah, I got it, sweetheart.â
Smiling, you press a kiss to his cheek and step back. âBe home by six,â you tell him. âAnd bring some takeout.â You walk around him as he swings himself back up to the top of the overpass.Â

your suit was torn in several spots, the symbolic webbing ripped open to reveal bloodied skin. the window sill of the mansion was slick, the rain doing little to help your case. thunder struck in time with your soft bang against the edge, knocking the window open. you slid inside, quietly latching the lock behind you.
lightning flashed, illuminating the room. you pried the mask off your head, hair bouncing free as you breathed deeply. your wounds ached, and you grimaced when a particularly harsh throb wracked your ribs. you leaned against the wall, grateful for the dark that encased the room.
remy was out for the night, you were certain. heâd left you a note, saying he and the guys went to a gaming hall. youâd smiled fondly at the tiny heart he left next to his name.
you stumbled into the bathroom, blood smearing along the walls and the counter. the toothbrush cup fell over, spilling onto the floor. you went down next, your shaking arms barely able to hold yourself up.
before you could even think of picking them up, lights flicked on as the floors creaked.
âchère?â
you reached for the door, throwing your limp body against it. remyâs shadow appeared from under the door, his knuckles tapping against the wood, âdid i wake ya up? yâalright?â
âmâfine, remy,â you shakily spoke, biting back a wince as your fingers dipped into the wound. you felt the hard casing of the bullet. âcanât lie târemy, mon ami. let him in, please.â your nails grazed the bullet, a quiet grunt leaving your lips at the ache.
your brows knit together when the door you rested on began to rattle. it warmed, and you quickly scooted away when you saw the purple flecks of kinetic energy swirling around the doorknob. âremyâ!â
it opened.
and there he was.
dressed casuallyâin one of those crop tops he adored and jeansâlike he didnât bankrupt other gamblers and win every game of poker. his crimson hair was fluffy.
âwhereâs your coat?â you asked with a gentle frown. it was cold outside, didnât he wear one?
âyou bleedinâ on our floor ân askinâ about some coat?â he knelt next to you, necklaces clinking as he tore his gloves off. you watched him tug the first aid kit from the cabinet, flicking it open and getting to work. remy was uncharacteristically quiet, which worried you deeply. he hadnât acknowledged the suit you wore, nor gloated about the sheer amount heâd won tonight.
you grimaced when the bullet clinked on the tile, feeling your enhanced regeneration tingle through your cells. âi knew,â remy spoke, resting a comforting hand on your thigh, ââbout deâŚspider thing. didâya think i wouldnât notice?â
you looked away, silent and ashamed.
âmânot mad at ya, chère. not even a lil,â he soothed, clasping a firm hand under your jaw and guiding your face back to his, âjust wish ya told remy sooner. he didnât wanna see ya like tâis before ya told him.â
âiâm sorry,â you whispered, feeling the skin of the wound close. remy stared down at it, dual-colored eyes swirled with confusion. âi heal over time,â you explained, âgunshots take longer, usually.â he shook his head with a fond grin, as if the thought of your wounds taking longer to heal would quell his worries.
remyâs eyes were molten, swirling with sparks of purple and admiration. it was quiet, his thumb simply sweeping over your cheek as your healing tingled your cells. âhow much did you win?â you asked after a while, allowing him to scoop you up and carry you to the bedroom. âiâm offended, chère. âcourse i won lots,â he smirked lazily, âwanâ somethinâ? remyâll get it for ya.â
âmy suit kinda needs repairs,â you sheepishly admitted, and he laughed. âmm. dunno âbout supportinâ suchâŚdangerous endeavors..â he got you comfortably in bed, joining you quickly, and tucked you close. remy was always warm. you buried your face in his chest, hiding from his blazing eyes upon your next words, âand i wanted to go shopping for a dress for emmaâs event..â
âooh, now datâremyâs got plenty,â his lips pressed against your head, âoughta let me see evâryone of âem. touch, too. thaâs requirement. needa see if theâŚquality is worth de price.â
you smiled and giggled, keeping your warm face hidden from him, ârequired, huh? you sure itâs just to test the fabric quality?â
âguilty as charged,â he mused, dragging his fingers along your spine, âclose âdem eyes, chère. sleep fâremy.â
you hummed softly, the ache in your bones fading as remyâs touch soothed them. outside, sirens still blared and criminals still ran rampantâbut right now? you were simply remyâs.
daredevil ⌠MATTHEW MURDOCK
youâd learned how to circle matt.
adapted to his schedules, shifted around mishaps, smiled through painful throbs of bruisesâyouâd perfected it.
until you seen him out.
you were perched on a balcony, fingers barely grazing the iron safety bars. it was 3am, and matt was usually asleep at this time. home from a long day of court, and tonight, he mentioned going out to drink with foggy and karen. he was home at midnightâwhy was he out now?
you quietly leapt across buildings, pausing every time he paused, moving when he moved. his cane tapped lightly against the concrete, the familiar clicks making your heart rate slow.
then, a hand shot from the darkness.
matt was yanked into an alley, and you launched into action. you watched as the man threw matt to the ground, and before matt could retaliate, you were there. your fist collided with the thugâs face, webs zipping! out. your foot landed on his shoulder, launching yourself and him up as you threw punch after punch and kick after kick. the webs clung to him, pinning his struggling and bruised frame against the brick wall.
your feet touched the pavement, kneeling in front of a winded matt.
âsir, sir, are you alright?â
âi knew it,â he breathed, smiling in that utterly pleased way of his. you tried to subdue your increasing heart rate, handing him his cane, âknew what?â mattâs head tilted knowingly, hands drifting forward to grip your waist.
âiâm not a fool, sweetheart. i know your heartbeat,â matt leaned up, and you had to look away from him, âit got faster. youâre nervous. i know your footstepsâyour breaths.â matt pushed himself off the ground, and you slid his cane in his hand. he took a step towards you, lips still pulled into that infuriating smile of his. you tried to pull away quickly, but he caught your wrist, âi know your touch, your hands. even if theyâre covered.â
âdid you plan this or something?â you embarrassedly asked, keeping your eyes averted as he tugged you closer. his lips curled up further, and you groaned in disdain, âmatt!â
âdonât be like that,â he cooed, âi was getting tired of you tiptoeing around it. so, i gave you a reason to tell me.â your head thumped against his chest, a heavy sigh leaving your lips. he swayed you lightly, chin propped atop your head. he smelled like warm sheets and the candle on the nightstand.
âgo home, please.â
âcome with me,â he countered, bringing both arms around you. his fingers traced the webbing of your suit, trailing around the spider design on your back. âi canât,â you muttered, tensing when one of his hands dragged up your arm. his fingertips grazed along your mask, and you clasped his wrist tightly, âmattâŚâ
âjust for a minute, baby,â he whispered, âplease?â you hesitated, nodding briefly. matt lifted your mask over your nose, and you felt his breath tickle your lips.
then, you felt his softness.
mattâs hands held your face, his shoulders dropping in utter bliss. you backed him into the wall, smiling into the kiss. you broke apart, foreheads resting together.
your lips parted to speakâ
âhey, can you let me down please? i need to go to the doctor!â
your head jerked up, and matt laughed:
âfoggy?!â
SPIDERMAN ⌠peter parker
it was hard being new yorkâs third spidey.
you usually stayed under the radar, cleaning up when peter or miles couldnâtâbut there was one tiny issue.
they had no idea it was you.
peter was at grad school for the majority of the dayâmiles surely contemplating his existence in high schoolâso you had opportune time to be spidey during the day. theyâd tried to contact you, of course, but youâd made it a point to avoid them at all costs.
right now, you were perched on a rooftop, eyes skimming across the city as you held a large icee in your hand. you sipped casually, flinching when your comms began to ring. your fingers pressed against your ear, a soft hum leaving your lips.
âhi, honey,â you greeted, âwhatâs up?â
peter didnât answer.
âpeter?â
âwhy didnât you tell me?â
âtell you what?â you calmly asked, keeping your voice level despite the panic creeping up your spine. peter sighed, displeased, âdelmarâs pickle sub was on sale an hour ago.â
âoh,â you laughed, relieved, âiâm sorry, i didnât know it was.â peter groaned childishly, and you vaguely heard the bustling sounds of the cafeteria. âare you with miles?â
âyeah. gonna take him to get some actual food for his final week,â you heard him call him over, and then you heard his voice, âhey, peteâs taking me to get actual food. do you wanna go?â
your lips parted to agree, but a loud screech and explosions sounded nearby. you heard the phone rustle, âwhat was that? baby?â
ânothingâi gotta go, have fun!â
you swiftly hung up, ignoring the way peter called you back instantly. you tugged your mask back on, tossing your empty icee cup in a trashcan as you swung to the scene. you landed atop a streetlight, frowning when you saw a group of men holding women hostage.
their massive guns waved haphazardly, and you teasingly called out, âgot a license for those?â
âitâs the spider!â
âwhich one?!â
you catapulted yourself at them, web bombs flying from your palms. the sticky threads flawlessly coiled around them, pinning them in one webbed up cluster. âhuh. that was easy,â you shrugged, walking over to the women.
âhi,â you whispered, âanyone hurt?â
they shook their heads as you gently guided them away. you flinched when a sharp pain pierced your side. you glanced down, spotting an unfamiliar object. the dartâs contents were glowing purple, and your body broke into shivers upon its dispersal into your bloodstream.
âhaha! it worked!â the cluster cheered.
you shot a web, barely able to swing properly. you crash landed on a nearby roof, curling up into a ball as your body shook. you were freezing despite the boiling hot weather.
âspidey?â the voice was warbled, but you recognized the familiar red and blue suit, accompanied by the black and red one. you tried to move, to hide from him, but his hand carefully moved you on your back.
âhey, hey, what happened?â
you shook your head, fingers grazing the rooftopâs edge. you were in agony. cold, hot, boiling, freezing, shivering, paralyzed.
âyou need fresh air,â miles worriedly said, his hands nearing the hem of your mask. you weakly slapped them away, and he looked at peter for guidance.
âwe promise weâll keep your secret,â peter comfortingly said, âwe can help you.â
âi donât want it,â you heaved, mustering up enough courage to toss yourself off the edge. your body freefell, but your webs missed their landingâ
a hand coiled around your wrist, your body dangling against the wall. you tiredly looked up, spotting peter upside down in front of you. he was stuck to the wall, one hand next to your head as the other held you up by your wrist.
âi tried to give you openings, but i seriously canât take it anymore,â peter reached for your mask, yanking it up and off before you could react, âbaby, please. we need to get you to the hospital.â
your mind was rendered to nothing but mush.
you could only hum and grumble, and you grimaced when he swept you up. your vision went dark, all you felt was his arms.
when you woke, he was staring at you with an intensity and a sadness you hadnât seen since aunt may.
âpete?â you tiredly whispered. he didnât speak, his knee bouncing rapidly, âare you mad?â
âiâd be a hypocrite if i were mad,â he sighed, shifting from his seat and sitting next to you on the bed. his fingers traced along your cheek, a weak smile on his lips.
âyou couldâve told me.â
you didnât answer to that, lifting your hand to cup his. his warmth permeated the cold of your skin. you shrugged softly, and he laughed as he pressed his lips to yours. âmm. i guess i didnât tell you either, huh?â
âno, you didnât,â you mused, âi found out because you left your mask inââ
âyou promised not to talk about that!â
wolverine ⌠LOGAN HOWLETT
âsheâs not herselfâlogan!â charles shouted, turning in his wheelchair in an attempt to stop him.
âi donât give a damn,â he snarled, spinning on his heel, âsheâs mine. some fish-bowl headed lunatic ainât takinâ her from me.â ororo stood instantly, grabbing her jacket and following him out. he briefly shot her a look of gratitude and utter respect, to which she nodded once.
storm always had his back.
the jet rumbled as it zipped through the air, and its screens displayed you in the city. mysterio hovered near you, the sky dim as the peopleâs symbol of hope ebbed away. âget me as close as you can,â logan grumbled to scott, who didnât respond with one of his usual remarks.
he understood the gravity of the situation.
you, the girl who swung with webs through new york city, hands outstretched to whoever needed helpâa child who fell off their bike, a man kicking a vending machine that took his money, the elderly woman who needs help crossing the hectic streetâyou were there.
now, you were suspended midair, body lifeless as mysterioâs control seeped into your mind. citizens cried and begged, their fingertips barely able to reach you.
âah, the x-men,â mysterio cooed, âcome to save a fellow hero?â
the jet landed harshly, and logan leapt out. he stormed closer, feeling the soft breeze of ororoâs aura behind him. jean and scott joined them, their eyes blazing with rage.
âwhere did you take them?â scott shouted. mysterioâs arms stretched wide, âallow me to show you.â
the city faded to black.
bodies were thrown and tossed about, and logan seen you. your suit was shredded to pieces, your mask completely gone. your eyes were black, tears staining your cheeks. blood coated your skin as you stood atop a pile of bodies.
how long had you been here?
what were you seeing?
he turned around, tensing when he realized that he was the only one here. logan sprinted toward you, and your eyes jerked to him. you jumped, webs slinging out to stop him. webs cocooned him in seconds.
your fingertips dug into his face, âsick joke, mysterio. using him against me.â
âbubââ
âstop talking,â you seethed, fresh tears filling your eyes, âi will break your neck.â loganâs claws slid free, slicing through the webs and shoving you against the ground. his hand pressed against your throatâa warning. âlisten to me,â his tone was firm, eyes dark with anger, âyer stuck in an illusion. he threw me in here wâyou.â
âyouâreâlying!â your knee dug harshly into his stomach, but he didnât move. loganâs claws dug into the asphalt, solidifying his posture, âi ainât lyinâ, stubborn thing. itâs logan,â he stressed, eyes flicking all over your injuries, âlook.â
he cautiously raised a hand, reaching for the neck of his white shirt and tugging the collar down. a thin chain with a ring looped onto itâthe stupid matching rings youâd bought as a peace treaty after a big argument. you faltered in your fight, hand lifting to further pull the shirt downâ
ânow yer just pushinâ it.â
then he felt your fingertips brush along a scar.
one that very little knew was there.
the scar that youâd given him for moments like these, moments that needed proof and grounding. logan relaxed, leaning back and pulling you up with him. you traced the tiny X with care, and he frowned when tears filled your eyes. âcâmon, sweets. donât cry.â
your palms roughly swiped at your eyes, your breaths growing scarce, and his hands easily found your wrists, âstop. breathe.â
you cried apologies, falling into his arms. logan sighed, standing up with you secure in his hold. he rubbed your back as he walked through the domain, ears tuned into finding his comrades.
when he reconnected with the group, ororo greeted you with a soft smile. you stayed in his arms, eyes forcefully averted from the carnage youâd unleashed in here. logan wasnât worried about getting stuck in the domain, he knew theyâd find their way out eventually.
but right now, he had youâhis darling spiderâin his arms, and you needed him.
HUMAN TORCH ⌠johnny storm
youâd broken your arm in an intense fight with sandman. you remembered the sick crack, the way your forearm was angled incorrectly as you sheepishly showed it to the emergency room workers. you hadnât been able to reset the bone, so it had begun to heal like that. the doctors, pitifully, had to re-break the bone just to fix it.
it healed a week ago.
johnny still hadnât stopped pampering you.
he refused to âhand you overâ to peter when the city called, he refused to let you do literally anything. tonight, peter had messaged you, desperate for help on an intel-related task. johnny was sleeping, and so, youâd taken the opportunity.
you quietly snuck out of the bedroom, suit zipped up and ready to go. herbie appeared at the end of the hallway, his little head tilting curiously. you knelt in front of him, gently rubbing his head, âiâll be back soon, herbie. donât worry.â
âjohnny?â he beeped quietly.
âsleeping. if heâs up before i leave, tell him i went shopping. wait, no donât tell him that, heâll be upset,â you considered a proper response, sighing as you shook your head and came up empty, âjust tell him iâm helping pete.â
herbie beeped, nodding. he nuzzled into your hand, and you smiled warmly. âbye, be good.â
he followed you to the balcony, watching you closely as you leapt off it. the sky was blanketed with stars as you zipped through the city, landing calmly on the appointed building. peter appeared from around the corner, waving as he landed. âhey, thanks for coming. did johnny let you go easy?â
âi didnât wake him up,â you admitted, âdidnât feel like arguing and wasting time.â peter hummed knowingly, perching next to you and pointing at the condemned factory.
âkravenâs got stuff in there. need to know all about it.â
âeasy,â you mused.
it was in fact, not easy.
you and peter breathed heavily behind cover, bullet wounds coating the two of you. âiâm sorry,â he whispered, wincing at a throb of pain. âuh-huh,â you mockingly replied, flinching when a bullet embedded the wall next to you.
you silently contemplated what to doâ
you were cornered, blood dripping from nearly every part of your body. peter was in a similar shape, wounded and exhausted. you groaned, your head thumping against the wood crate, âuse the signal.â
âseriously? johnnyâs gonna kill usâŚâ
âiâd rather die to him than these guys, pete. just do it.â
peter visibly accepted his fate, thumb pressing against the line of webbing that alerted the fantastic four. within seconds, your comms rang. you pressed your ear against your shoulder, too tired to raise your hands.
âthat better not have anything to do with you.â
âi donât know how to tell you this,â you laughed weakly, âbut it kind of has everything to do with me.â
johnny didnât speak, comms shutting off. peter met your masked eyes, âhow bad?â
âheâs dead silent,â you solemnly said.
âshit.â
the glass erupted into shards, and you flinched when rapid gunshots fired. a bright orange glow encased the room, and you vaguely heard the soft thrumming of sueâs barrier.
loud footsteps sounded to your left, and you saw ben standing over the two of you.
âhey,â you and peter greeted casually, as if the two of you werenât staining the floor red. johnny landed next to ben, expression utterly displeased and furious. he knelt next to you, sending a nasty stare towards peter as he scooped you up.
âiâm sorry, man!â peter shouted as johnny walked away. he didnât say a word as he ignited into flames and shot off towards the hospital.
âstupid, stupid,â he muttered, âiâm gonna sell out everything he loves.â
âjohnnyââ
âyou scared me, baby,â he admitted, âwoke up to the signal going off, you not in my arms.â
you murmured an apology, doing your best to withstand the heat he emitted. your suit was fireproof, courtesy of reed, but some places were torn. âdo you wanna know how long iâm keeping you to myself now?â
you sighed, eyes closing as you accepted the inevitable.
âhow long, johnny?â
âthree months.â
generous, you thought amusedly.
âyouâre also prohibited from communicating with peter for a good year.â
the doctors made quick work of you, and you assured them your healing would take care of what they couldnât quickly fix. they had other people to help, people that couldnât self-sustain.
now, you were in bed with johnny.
he had you wrapped in his arms, tightly. âare you gonna hold me like this the whole three months?â you softly asked, tapping your fingers on his back to the rhythm of the song heâd chosen.
âif i have to. iâll hold you in the shower, at dinnertime, while you get ready,â he listed off, eyes sparkling with mischief. you smiled, cuddling closer to him. he kissed your head, gently pulling you away so he can reach the rest of your face. he peppered kisses on your skin, pausing before he reached your lips.
his blue eyes swirled with worry and love, and you nodded.
he kissed you sweetly, embers flickering in his hair. you separated with a shy laugh, and he embraced you again.
âseriously, donât scare me like that again. especially donât justâŚleave.â
Synopsis: 'Cause my love is mine, all mine. I love mine, mine, mine Nothing in the world belongs to me But my love, mine, all mine, all mine
The city is unusually quiet.
For once, there arenât any alarms, collapsing buildings, or emergency calls pulling Mark away from you.
Itâs just the two of you.
You sit together on the rooftop of his apartment building, the skyline glowing beneath the orange light of the setting sun. A cool breeze brushes against your hair as your legs dangle over the edge of the building.
Mark sits so close that your shoulders almost touch.
Almost.
The tiny gap between you feels so much bigger than it should.
His hand rests on the concrete beside yours.
Close enough that if you reached outâ
You could hold it.
If only you were someone else.
He notices you staring.
âWhat?â he asks with a small smile.
You quickly shake your head, pretending it was nothing.
âNothing.â
He raises an eyebrow.
âYouâve been looking at my hand for like⌠five minutes.â
A quiet laugh escapes you.
âWas I?â
âYou were.â
You smile to yourself before looking back at the city.
âI was just thinking.â
âDangerous.â
You nudge his shoulder with your own, careful to keep the leather of your jacket between you.
He grins.
âThere she is.â
The smile fades from your face almost as quickly as it appeared.
ââŚDo you ever think about what normal people take for granted?â
Mark turns toward you.
âWhat do you mean?â
You stare down at your gloved hands.
âTouch.â
The word barely leaves your lips.
âThey donât think about it.â
Your fingers curl against your palms.
âThey hug each other without asking.â
âThey hold hands.â
âThey fall asleep together.â
âThey donât have to stop themselves every time they want to reach for the person they love.â You continued
Silence settles between you.
Mark doesnât interrupt.
He knows better.
You swallow hard.
âIâve spent my whole life wondering what another personâs heartbeat feels like.â
His expression softens immediately.
You force out a laugh.
âSounds kind of pathetic when I say it out loud.â
âNo.â
His voice is firm.
âIt doesnât.â
You glance toward him.
âI wonder if your heartbeat is fast.â
He chuckles quietly.
âIt usually is around you.â
Your smile returns.
Small.
Fragile.
âIâll never know.â
Mark instinctively reaches toward your face. His fingers stop only inches from your cheek.
So is stopping himself.
The invisible wall between you hangs in the air.
You slowly lift your gloved hand, placing it gently against the back of his suspended hand.
Leather against skin.
The closest youâll ever get.
âI canât feel you, Mark.â
Your voice trembles.
He closes his eyes.
âYou know my heart beats for you.â
âI know.â
A tear slips beneath your lashes.
âBut your heart may beat for meâŚâ
Your smile finally breaks.
âI still canât feel it.â
For a long momentâŚ
Neither of you speaks.
Mark slowly rests his forehead against yours, careful not to let your skin meet.
His eyes stay closed.
âIâll find a way.â
âYou always say that.â you stated
âBecause I refuse to believe this is forever.â
He lets out a shaky breath.
âOne dayâŚâ
His voice is barely above a whisper.
ââŚIâm going to hold your hand without thinking about it.â
He put the palm of his gloved hand over her lips and kissed it.
You smile through your tears.
âIâd like that.â
_______
You press your gloved hand over his chest, your fingers trembling so badly you can barely keep them still. Your breathing catches as tears blur your vision.
âMarkâŚâ Your voice breaks. âSugarâŚâ
You shake your head over and over, desperately searching his face.
âI canâtâŚâ A sob escapes before you can stop it. âI canât feel your heart.â
You let out a shaky breath, your forehead lowering until it nearly rests against his.
âI know itâs beating⌠I know it isâŚâ Another tear slips down your cheek. âBut I canât feel it, Mark.â
Even through the pain, he manages to lift his hand. His arm shakes from the effort, barely strong enough to reach you. His fingertips brush against your gloved wrist before his hand falls weakly into yours.
He gives you the faintest smile.
âHeyâŚâ His voice is little more than a whisper. âDonât⌠donât do that.â
You look down at him, tears falling freely.
âYouâre scaring me.â
He exhales a shaky laugh that turns into a cough.
âIâm still here.â
âYou donât know that.â
âI do.â
His thumb moves weakly against your glove, as if trying to reassure you despite barely having the strength to keep his eyes open.
âYou always saidâŚâ He pauses to catch a breath. ââŚyou couldnât feel my heartbeat.â
His smile is tired but gentle.
âYou never needed to.â
Your lip trembles.
âMarkâŚâ
âItâŚâ He swallows with difficulty. ââŚit beats for you anyway.â
You break down completely, shaking your head.
âDonât talk like that.â
âLook at me.â
You force yourself to meet his eyes.
âIâm coming back,â he whispers. âYou hear me?â
His breathing is uneven now, every word costing him.
âSo⌠donât say goodbye.â
Before you can answer, the blue glow of a GDA portal floods the street as Cecil and the medics rush toward you. Markâs eyes stay on yours until theyâre forced to lift him from your arms, his hand slipping from your gloved fingers at the very last moment.
Synopsis: Some ghosts arenât buriedâthey live in the choices you canât take back.
The city had seen heroes fall before.
Just never you.
One moment, youâre swinging between collapsing buildings, your web shooters firing one strand after another as you pull civilians out of the wreckage. Your suit is torn across your shoulder, blood soaking through the fabric, but you donât stop. There are still people trapped below.
âGet out of here!â Mark shouts, hovering above you as he catches a falling piece of the overpass with both hands. âIâve got this!â
You look up at him through the cracks in your mask.
âAnd leave you to do all the work?â you call back, forcing a grin. âNot happening.â
Even from across the street, you can see the worry in his face.
âYou can barely stand!â
âIâve been through worse!â
It isnât true.
Youâre exhausted.
Your web shooters are running low.
Your left wrist hurts every time you fire another web.
But people are still screaming.
So you keep moving.
⸝
The villain smiles.
A cold, cruel smile.
âI wonder,â they say, watching the two of you, âwhich hero heâll save first.â
Everything suddenly became still.
You barely had time to react before something wrapped around your waist.
A metal cable.
It tightened violently.
âWhatââ
The cable yanked you backward with enough force to rip you off the side of the building.
Your stomach lurched as the city flipped upside down.
Your web shooter fired automatically.
The web connectedâ
Then instantly snapped as another explosion tore through the structure.
â____!â
Markâs head whipped toward you.
Before he could moveâ
Another blast erupted beneath Eve.
The rooftop collapsed underneath her feet.
She disappeared into the falling debris.
⸝
The villain floated calmly between the two of you.
One hand held you suspended hundreds of feet above the street by the cable wrapped around your body.
The other controlled the collapsing steel trapping Eve beneath the remains of the rooftop.
You struggled against the restraints, trying to free one arm.
Your breathing became shallow as the cable dug painfully into your ribs.
Mark stopped moving.
His chest rose and fell rapidly.
His eyes darted between youâŚ
Then EveâŚ
Then back to you again.
The villain smiled.
âThere it is.â
They laughed softly.
âThe look every hero eventually gets.â
Markâs jaw clenched.
âLet them go.â
âI will.â
The villain nodded almost casually.
âBut firstâŚâ
Their grin widened.
ââŚletâs find out who matters more.â
Your stomach dropped.
âNoâŚâ
The word escaped before you could stop it.
The villain ignored you.
âYou can only save one.â
Silence.
Even the battle around you seemed to disappear.
His breathing became frantic.
âNoâŚâ
His voice cracked.
âI canât choose.â
âYou already are.â
The villainâs smile never faltered.
âTwo.â
The building beneath Eve finally began collapsing.
Markâs instincts took over.
Before his mind could catch upâŚ
His body moved.
He exploded forward through the air.
Straight toward Eve.
It happened in less than a second.
Pure instinct.
Pure reaction.
He reached her just as the rooftop gave way completely.
His arms wrapped around her, pulling her free from the collapsing steel.
The instant he felt her weight in his armsâŚ
He froze.
His eyes widened.
His heart stopped.
âNoâŚâ
SlowlyâŚ
He looked over his shoulder.
Toward you.
Still hanging in the air.
Still waiting.
Your eyes met his.
You didnât look angry.
You didnât look betrayed.
You just lookedâŚ
Heartbroken.
Because for one tiny momentâŚ
You had watched him fly away from you.
⸝
âNoâŚâ
Mark whispered.
His voice barely existed anymore.
âNo⌠no, noâŚâ
He carefully set Eve onto the nearest rooftop.
She immediately grabbed his arm.
âMark!â
But he was already gone.
The air shattered behind him as he launched himself toward you.
Faster than heâd ever flown before.
The city blurred beneath him.
His hand stretched desperately toward yours.
â____!â
You reached for him.
Your fingertips brushed together.
So close.
You could feel the warmth of his skin.
You could almost grab him.
ThenâŚ
The villain smiled.
With a flick of their wrist, they released the cable.
You dropped.
Straight into the collapsing skyscraper below.
âNO!â
Mark dove after you.
He wasnât fast enough.
The entire building folded inward.
Concrete.
Steel.
Glass.
Everything crashed down around you.
Your hand disappeared beneath thousands of tons of rubble.
The last thing Mark sawâŚ
Was your mask.
Then even that vanished beneath the collapsing building.
⸝
He hit the rubble so hard the impact sent cracks racing through every nearby street.
âNo!â
He dug immediately.
Throwing entire walls aside.
Steel beams twisted apart in his hands.
Concrete exploded into dust as he ripped through floor after floor.
âIâM HERE!â
His voice echoed through the city.
âIâM HERE!â
His hands were already bleeding.
He didnât notice.
âI CAME BACK!â
Another section of the building disappeared.
âI DIDNâT LEAVE YOU!â
His breathing turned into sobs between every sentence.
âI DIDNâT CHOOSE HER OVER YOU!â
More rubble flew into the air.
âI SWEAR I DIDNâT!â
His voice broke completely.
âIt was instinctâŚâ
Another beam.
Another wall.
Another floor.
âI was coming backâŚâ
His movements slowed.
His shoulders began shaking uncontrollably.
âI was coming back for youâŚâ
His knees finally gave out beneath him.
He collapsed into the crater heâd created.
Dust settled around him.
His bloodied hands hung limply at his sides.
The realization settled over him with unbearable weight.
You had seen him fly away.
You never saw him turn back.
And if those were your final momentsâŚ
Then the last thing you believedâ
The last thing you carried with youâ
Was that when Mark Grayson was forced to chooseâŚ
He hadnât chosen you.
That thought shattered him far more completely than any villain ever could.
⸝ ⸝
The funeral is over.
People slowly drift away, speaking in hushed voices, offering condolences that blur together into meaningless noise.
âShe was brave.â
âShe died a hero.â
âShe saved so many people.â
Mark doesnât hear any of it.
He stands perfectly still in front of your grave, his hands shoved into the pockets of a black jacket that doesnât quite hide the bandages wrapped around his knuckles.
He hasnât said a word. Not once. Just tears running down his face
Not when they lowered your casket.
Not when Debbie hugged him.
Not when Cecil tried to apologize.
Not when William quietly placed flowers beside your picture.
He just stares at your name carved into the stone.
As if heâs waiting for you to laugh and tell everyone it was some elaborate joke.
You never do.
⸝
Days pass.
Then weeks.
Mark stops answering calls.
He barely sleeps.
His apartment slowly becomes unrecognizable.
Your hoodie still hangs over the back of the couch.
Your coffee mug is still sitting beside the sink.
A pair of your sneakers rests by the front door exactly where you left them.
He refuses to move any of it.
Some nights he catches himself listening for the familiar thwip of your web shooters outside his window.
Other nights he swears he hears your laugh coming from the kitchen.
Every time he rushes toward the soundâŚ
The apartment is empty.
Every single time.
Eve slowly sits beside him.
âIt wasnât a choice.â
âIt was.â
âNo, it wasnât.â
âIt felt like one to her.â
He finally turns to look at Eve.
His eyes are bloodshot from weeks of sleepless nights.
âYou donât understand.â
âI never stopped loving her.â
âI know.â
âI wouldâve died for her.â
âI know.â
âI wouldâve crossed the planet to save her.â
âI know.â
âSo whyâŚâ
His voice trembles.
ââŚwhy wasnât I fast enough?â
Eve doesnât have an answer.
Because there isnât one.
.
âI came back.â His voice cracks.
âI came back for her.â
âI know you did.â
âShe didnât see that.â
His shoulders tense.
âThe last thing she sawâŚâ
He swallows hard.
ââŚwas me flying away.â
Eveâs chest tightens.
âMarkââ
âI chose you.â
The words stop her cold.
He doesnât raise his voice.
He doesnât look at her.
He just keeps staring at the city. Her hand holding his.
Iâm a huge fan of your writing!!! Youâre so talented đ⨠Can I please request a protective tom/peter story? Thanks love!!
Wheezy
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Synopsis: Peter is the only one who can tease you about your asthma
Masterlist
Requests are CLOSED
You were in second grade when you found out you had asthma.
Unfortunately, the rest of the second grade class found out too. Your asthma wasnât too serious, mainly triggered by nerves, but every so often youâd have to take a hit off your inhaler to calm yourself down. That didnât hinder the merciless teasing from your classmates for not knowing how to breath. There was one thing that hindered the teasing thoughâŚ
Synopsis: To render like heaven or fit for heaven, to purify and make hold a place or a person.
People always misunderstood what it meant to be pure.
They thought purity meant being untouched. Never making mistakes. Never carrying anything ugly.
But Tamsy Knew better.
Purity was something created.
Something earned.
Something that survived.
he learned that the first time he met her.
you were strange in a way he couldn't explain. There was always a calmness surrounding her, like the world could collapse around her and he would still stand there quietly, watching.
Almost like he was searching for her.
"You look at me like im something worth saving." her voice caught him off guard.
Tamsy blinked "what?"
He tilted his head slightly, studying you with that unreadable expression.
"You look at everyone like that" he continued looking at the details of her expression. "like there's still something good left in them" He continued
She smiled like heaven it self "Maybe there is"
He smiled hooking his hands to your waist, continuing to glance at your lips. As you ran your fingers through his hair making him melt.
"You're interesting."
You laugh softly. "Thats your way of saying you like me?"
"Maybe."
His answer was too simple, too honest.
And somehow that made your Angel heart beat faster.
You were someone who believed everything could be transformed. that even things thrown away could become something meaningful again.
But you wondered if he believed the same thing as you.
"you know" He stated "You dont always have to fix everything."
His eyes still staring ar your wide ones.
"I dont?"
"No" He continued
"Sometimes things dont need to be purified. they just need someone to see them."
The silence between you felt different after that.
Softer.
Like the world had paused.
Tamsy looked at you like you were some kind of impossible thing he couldnât understand.
Like you were a piece of heaven he never expected to find in a place like this.
âThen what do you see when you look at me?â
He leans in, carefully, he was close and your sure he can feel your heart beating like the wind. All you feel was him and all he feels is you. He whispers
âI see someone whoâs been trying to make everyone else feel clean⌠but forgot she deserves that too.â
his lips touching yours before you could respond.
His lips are softer than anything you've ever known, soft like a first snowfall, like biting into clouds, like melting and floating and being weightless in water. Its sweet, its so effortlessly sweet.
âI absolutely love your writing for The Boondocks! Could you possibly do a one-shot where Huey and a sunshine!reader are sitting on the hill? The reader keeps asking Huey how much he loves her, and it turns into this sweet back-and-forth where theyâre just trying to outdo each other. I'd love to see how Huey handles that!
How Much?
Huey freeman x Reader
Synopisis: Sunshine reader keeps asking Huey how much he loves her, and it turns into this sweet back-and-forth where theyâre just trying to outdo each other.
The hill had always been quiet, the kind of quiet that didnât feel empty but instead felt like a rare moment where the world finally stopped moving fast enough for Huey to breathe. It was quiet enough to hear the wind slowly moving through the grass, quiet enough to hear the distant sounds of the neighborhood below, and quiet enough that Huey could actually think without feeling like the weight of everything happening around him was constantly demanding his attention.
Which was exactly why he liked coming here.
The hill was one of the few places where he didnât feel like he had to have all the answers. He didnât have to explain himself, defend his thoughts, or carry the responsibility of understanding a world that often made no sense.
He could just exist.
WellâŚ
That was true before you started coming with him.
Because somehow, you had a way of taking even his quietest moments and filling them with something he never expected â warmth.
You sat beside him, your shoulder gently brushing against his as you looked out over the neighborhood below. The sun was slowly sinking into the horizon, covering everything in soft shades of orange and gold, making the entire world look calmer than it usually felt.
Huey was reading, like always.
A book in his hands, his expression focused, his mind somewhere between the words on the page and the endless thoughts that seemed to follow him everywhere.
You, however, werenât reading.
You were watching him.
The way his eyebrows slightly furrowed when he was thinking.
The way he would quietly turn the page.
The way he acted like he wasnât paying attention, even though you knew he always was.
For about five minutes, you let him enjoy the silence.
Thenâ
âHuey?â
He didnât look up.
âWhat?â
You smiled softly, already knowing you were about to interrupt whatever serious thought was running through his mind.
âHow much do you love me?â
A pause.
Not a dramatic one.
Just a moment where Huey processed the question, like he was trying to figure out why you asked something that, to him, already had an obvious answer.
Slowly, he lowered his book.
â...Thatâs your question Beloved?â
You smiled wider.
âYes.â
Huey stared at you, his eyes narrowing slightly like he was trying to determine if this was some kind of trick.
âItâs an impossible question.â
You tilted your head.
âWhy?â
âBecause love isnât something you measure.â
You nodded like you understood, but the small smile on your face told him you werenât done.
âOkay, but if you had to measure it?â
Huey let out a quiet sigh, already knowing where this was going.
âI donât know.â
You waited.
âA lot.â
Your mouth fell open dramatically.
âA lot?â
âYes.â
âThatâs it?â
Huey raised an eyebrow.
âYou asked me how much. I answered.â
You laughed, leaning slightly into him.
âYou answered like you were being interviewed by a government official.â
âIâm sorry my response lacked unnecessary enthusiasm.â
You shook your head, smiling.
âYouâre so bad at this.â
âIâm actually very good at this.â
âOh really?â
âYes.â
âProve it.â
Huey looked at you for a moment.
He could tell you werenât asking because you doubted him.
You just liked hearing him say things he normally kept hidden.
So he closed his book.
âI love you enough to sit here and answer these questions even though you already know the answer.â
Your expression softened.
Because that was such a Huey answer.
Not a big dramatic confession.
Not some perfectly written speech.
Just something simple.
Something honest.
You smiled.
âOkayâŚâ
A small pause.
âThat was actually cute.â
âI know.â
You immediately laughed.
âDonât ruin it.â
âIâm not.â
âYou are.â
A small smirk appeared on his face.
The kind that only showed up when he was comfortable enough to stop pretending he didnât enjoy your teasing.
You looked back at the sky.
âOkay, my turn.â
Huey sighed.
âI didnât ask.â
âI love you more.â
âNo, you donât.â
âYes, I do.â
âBased on what?â
You looked at him confidently.
âBased on the fact that Iâm amazing.â
âThatâs not evidence.â
âIt is.â
âItâs a personal opinion.â
âAnd a correct one.â
Huey shook his head.
âYouâre impossible.â
âAnd you love me.â
âYes.â
âSee?â
âThat proves nothing.â
âIt proves everything.â
He tried to hide the smile forming on his face.
You noticed immediately.
âYou smiled.â
âI did not.â
âYou did.â
âI didnât.â
âYouâre smiling right now.â
Huey looked away.
âYour observation skills are impressive. Unfortunately, your conclusion is incorrect.â
You laughed again.
âYou always talk like youâre debating someone.â
âBecause usually I am.â
âAnd with me?â
He looked at you.
âWith you, Iâm usually losing.â
That made you pause.
Because coming from Huey Freeman, that meant more than he probably realized.
Huey didnât give people pieces of himself easily.
He didnât say things just because they sounded nice.
Every emotion he showed was something he carefully chose to reveal.
You softened.
âReally?â
âYes.â
âWhy?â
Huey looked toward the horizon.
âBecause you somehow manage to make me care about things I normally wouldnât.â
You tilted your head.
âLike what?â
âLike watching movies I donât want to watch. Going places I donât want to go. Listening to stories Iâve already heard.â
You smiled.
âWow. Romantic.â
âIâm not finished.â
You became quiet.
Because you knew when Huey said that, he meant it.
He looked down for a moment before speaking.
âI used to think caring about someone made you weaker.â
Your expression softened.
âAnd now?â
Huey looked at you.
âNow I think pretending you donât care is worse.â
For once, you didnât have a joke ready.
Because beneath all his logic, beneath all his arguments and his endless need to understand the world, Huey was just someone who cared deeply.
Someone who loved deeply.
He just showed it differently.
You smiled.
âSo⌠you love me more.â
Huey immediately looked annoyed.
âThat is not what I said.â
âItâs what I heard.â
âYou heard incorrectly.â
âNope.â
âThatâs not how conversations work.â
âIt is when I win.â
âYouâre impossible.â
âYou said that already.â
âBecause it remains true.â
You leaned your head against his shoulder.
âOkay, okay. Final answer. How much do you love me?â
Huey looked down at you.
This time, he didnât answer right away.
He just looked at you.
At the person who somehow made him laugh when he didnât feel like laughing.
The person who reminded him that life wasnât only about fighting battles.
The person who made the world feel a little less heavy.
Then he finally spoke.
âEnough.â
You frowned playfully.
âEnough?â
âYes.â
âThat sounds suspiciously small.â
âIt isnât.â
âExplain.â
Huey looked back at the sunset.
âEnough to choose you.â
You went quiet.
âEnough to make time for you.â
Another pause.
âEnough to let you annoy me every day.â
You smiled.
âAnd?â
He looked at you.
âEnough to know that life would be different without you.â
Your smile grew.
âOkayâŚâ
âWhat?â
âI think I win.â
Huey sighed.
âOf course you do.â
âI do.â
âYou always have to have the last word.â
âNot always.â
âName one time.â
You thought.
You looked away.
Thenâ
â...No.â
Huey shook his head.
But he was smiling.
And even though he would never admit it, sitting on that hill with you â arguing over who loved who more, listening to your laughter, feeling the warmth of your presence beside him â was exactly where he wanted to be.
Because for once, he wasnât trying to change the world.
He wasnât carrying every problem on his shoulders.
He wasnât searching for some impossible answer.
He was just enjoying the one thing he never expected to find.
A quiet moment.
A safe place.
A person who made everything feel a little lighter.

A/N. ALRIGHT ALRIIIIIIIGHT- inspired by this tiktok by the gorgeous @/v4mpyrf4e (an absolute sweetheart, tysm for letting me write this) and to all the babygirls who summoned me there <33
âAnother bull hybrid?â Shiu growls into his phone, listening to the conversation crackling from the other end of the line. âA Japanese Shorthorn at that?â
Those things were hugeâŚ
With a hand on his hip, he casts a thoughtful look out into the horizon. The beaming, bustling, sun-baked farm; amongst the tufts of grass, Shiuâs hybrids grazed, occasionally flicking their ears in the direction of the conversation. All but one of them.Â
In the shade of the overlarge crimson barn, he could spot you dozing away in the shadeâone of his proudest purebred cows.Â
âNo- no, I hear you.â He listens to farmer Kusakabeâs begging, âItâs not a space issue, itâs justâŚâ Shiu hesitates, throwing yet another glance your way. Still dazed. Still exhausted. âItâs just that one of my cow hybrids- yes, her- fine, my favorite, just finished her heat. And I was worried that introducing a new bull wouldâŚâ
A few more pleas.Â
Until, ultimately, the farmer sighs.Â
âFineâŚsend this Toji over then.â
âOh, thank fuck! You have no idea how much I appreciate it, man.â Kusakabe bellows in celebration, and Shiuâs forced to lean his head away from the speaker if ever he valued his ear drums.
Atsuya Kusakabe was a farmer specializing in hybrids just like Shiu was, though his friend had taken it a step further and raised only bulls on his farm. Though he really did reconsider this friendship when the other was trying to pawn off one of his biggest bulls on him for a few days.
In his bemused wonderment at his friend, Shiu almost doesnât register the soft nudge of something against his open palm. Something warm, something silky. He snaps his head down- and a sudden smile spreads across his face as he realizes just who it was.
Youâd wandered off from your cosy lilâ corner, and cuddled up to him leisurely.Â
âHey there, girlie.â Shiu whispers, reaching his fingers up to scratch behind your ecstatic ears. You werenât quite the social hybrid, even amongst your own kind. Always frolicking by yourself when let out to graze, always straying behind the group after milking.Â
Shiu couldnât even tease enough out of you (not even half a bucket!) when compared to the rest of the cows here. But the thing is, you seemed perfectly content with your few close attachments on the farm, your few friends, your rejection of many bulls (and trust that the attempts to woo were many). And whether that was because youâd grown too attached to him, whether that was just the way you were - he didnât exactly mind.
He knew he shouldnât have favorites, and yetâŚhere you were.
âFeeling all better?â Heâs asking, and youâre nodding languidly. Still tired, then. This seasonâs heat had been as powerful as ever - out of all his hybrids, it was safe to say that you had one of the strongest.
The neediest.
The sultriest.
Which wouldnât even have been notable if youâd just let another bull hybrid mount you through them to ease the urges, perhaps even result in a cute lilâ calf for his farm- but that was exactly the problem.Â
You didnât.
Shiu couldnât even count on two hands how many times heâd tried to pair you off with one of his bulls - and each time had ended in a disaster. Either youâd barricaded yourself in another part of your barn room, or youâd claw your way outside altogether. Each and every time, Shiu would check on you in the middle of your heats to find that you were in the throes of your desires, fiddling with nothing but the toys heâd gifted you, and his sullen bulls would be pouting nâ pushed off to one side. Useless, really.
No matter how needy you were, you just wouldnât take to them. And it wasnât that they were particularly weak, or unattractive - there was Ino who youâd just ended up chatting through your heat with, Kashimo and Ijichi who youâd both kicked out, Takaba who you didnât even look at, Naoya who youâŚ
Yeah, he didnât want to think about the beaten-up state youâd left Naoya in. It made him laugh.
He wondered who the problem was - those bulls that couldnât woo you properly, or you who couldnât be wooed.
He blamed the bulls.
And heâs patting the top of your head tenderly, carefully avoiding the slight protrusions of your horns that were oh-so-sensitive. Mutterly absent-mindedly, âItâs alright, itâs alright. Trust that weâll find you a proper mate next year, girlie.â
You can only nod unsurely, gesturing at his phone. âSomeoneâs talking, Shiu.â
âHuh? Oh someoneâs-â Oh, right, he was in the middle of his call still. Heâd almost forgotten. Shiu tunes into the latest of Kusakabeâs spiel, and it didnât seem like heâd missed out on anything too importantâ
â-had no idea what I was going to do for the few days Iâd be in Tokyo for the Hybrid Farms Convention, Iâll pick him up right on my way back from there.â
âMhm, sounds good.â He rattles off.
âYou can keep him anywhere you like, to be honest. He doesnât have any specific requirements, heâs just as sturdy as he is massive- hah! Though, I do give Toji a separate room of his own from the othersâŚjust in case.â
âMhmmm.â
âMy apprentices will be taking care of it while heâs gone, all ready for that big boy to be back.â
âMhmmm.â Shiu lightly furrows his browsâif he has apprentices, and he has other bulls heâs leaving behind, then why did he need to leave Toji in particular with Shiu again? Oh, whateverâŚ
âAnd you remember what I said earlier, right?â
Well, he wasnât really listening butâŚâMhm-â
âYou have to keep an eye on Toji while heâs in rut.â
âMh-â Shiuâs eyes bug out of his scalp, his knees grow a little weak, and he damn near drops his phone- oh, too late. Heâs already dropped his phone down into the green grass below, startling you in the process. âWhile heâs in what?â

Name: Toji Fushiguro
Age: 30âs (approx.)
Hybrid type: Bos taurus
Height: 6â2+
Weight class: 1600kg - 1800kg.
Other notes: Subject has a sleek black coat, high intelligence, and a somewhat temperamental demeanour. He will insult you if it comes to infringing upon his freedom. Does not care for medical exams. Continuous horn growth that shows evidence of strong fighting capabilities, fatal power, and weapon-like appendages. It should be noted that the subject is of a larger size even amongst Bos taurus (in particular, the Nambu shorthorn bulls) and needs larger spaces of leisure than most. Take care to handle, needs multiple handlers.
Shiuâs face only grows pale as he reads down the medical sheet, quickly flicking his eyes to the very end so that he might be able to spare himself some of the torture.
-particularly powerful ruts with the urge to breed. According to the handler, it is noted that the subject has not spent a rut in the presence of a mate.
Even paler.
To emphasize, he is unmated.
And paler.
And currently nearing his rut.
For the second time in the past 24 hours (which isnât many times, but itâs strange that itâs happened twice) Shiuâs fingers drop whatever he was holding in shock. Diligently, youâre right beside the farmer to pick up the piece of paper and hand it to him - giggling when he drops it for a third time.
Though, it was by sheer miracle that he doesnât just faint right then and there.
Ohâhe catches a glimpse of Kusakabeâs large white cattle trailer backing up into his hybrid pen and can feel himself teetering already. Thankfully, you were right there to nudge your head against his frame in support, slightly worried for the human man.
Because not only was Toji said to be nearing his merciless rut, but according to the medical sheet that his friend (âfriendâ hah!) had handed to him, he was unmated?
Makes sense, Kusakabeâs farm specialized in bulls.
But perhaps if Toji had a mate then the cow hybrids of this farm would be safe- he casts a sidelong look your way. Perhaps you - with your still-sweetened pheromones, and your even sweeter demeanour - would be safe.
âN-nothing-â The farmer places a hand on your head and pats, faintly. âNothing at all, donât you worry about a thing, girlie.â
Ah, wellâŚShiu thinks to himself, watching as the truck finally finishes reversing, and Kusakabe (that bastard!) slides out of the driverâs seat to open up the towering steel door in the back. It looked so massive compared to the admittedly above-average man, and that only made Shiuâs tension increase twofold at what may be lurking behind those metal gates.
Ones that seem to burst open with a roaring screeeechâ
âOh, shit.â His mouth was desert-dry, his grip unyielding on you whoâd been angling your head to get a better look. âOh, shit.â
Because Toji Fushiguro was massive.
Dominating.
So many thousands of kilograms of a hybrid that sauntered smugly out of the trailer, as if he owned it. As if he owned this entire farm and everyone in it.Â
The rest of the hybrids were drawn in by the commotion, turning their curious eyes towards the refined horns that gleamed as they entered the light. Towards the thundering ground. The powerful flank. The polished coat. The single golden ring âround his nostrils.
And you had to admit that you didnât expect him to be soâŚhandsome.
All ruggedly scarred lips from his tussles, and a face that seemed to be carved by the heavens above. You let your widened peripherals glide down the smooth skin of his front; all broad shoulders, prominent pecs, the cutest golden hoops pierced through his pink nipples, and abs for days. He shakes his shaggy black bangs out of his gaze.Â
Those smug verdant eyes that take one look your way - the way that Shiu had his possessive hold on you - and narrow.Â
Kusakabe startles as his prized bull hybrid suddenly stops in his tracks, his grip on his leash slightly faltering. And it seems that everyone within the pen holds their breath as a low huff of gruff displeasure leaves Toji, scorching hot fury reaching where you were.
Jaw clenching.
Eyes flashing.
He lowers his horned head as if he was about to-
âAh ah-â Kusakabeâs the one to break through the charged tension on the farm with his command. He tugs on Tojiâs firm leash, though, as a farmer, Shiu thinks he could see the slight waver in his movements.
Tojiâs rumbling in refusal, tugging against the restraints. And Kusakabeâs nearly thrown off his feet- before heâs holding onto the side of the truck for balance, pulling the bull hybrid away from where his sights were set. âEasy, boy, easy.â Heâs looking at you two with an apologetic smile, âSorry, heâs just a bit excited with the ru-â
âAhem ahem ahem-â Shiu suddenly coughs, cutting off the other man. âBetter get him settled inside his enclosure, Kusakabe. Donât want any more trouble nowâŚâ
âAh- right, right.â
And with a slight swat at Tojiâs flank, heâs fighting against the hybrid to guide him towards that lilâ enclosure made specifically for him. Shiu had taken care to section it off from the rest of the pen where the cows were, with hardy wooden tree trunks that composed the fences. And not one, but two padlocks that Kusakabe seems relieved to lock once heâs managed to get him inside.
Hands slightly shaking where Toji breathes hotly down his neck, black tail flicking in irritation.
âCalm down, calm down.â The farmer wasnât sure whether he was telling it to Toji or himself- finally finishing off with the locks and looking up at him. âNow- you be a good boy, alright. Donât give Shiu any trouble, donât fight too hard with the other bulls- no use in telling you not to fight, I know you wonât listen to that anyway, and no matter what-â
Toji raises an unimpressed brow as Kusakabe raises a directing finger.
â-no going overboard with your rut.â
âAnd what exactly does âoverboardâ mean?â Shiu wearily nears the special pen, arms carefully lifted off of you and wrapped around his own body in comfort.
Kusakabe beams, âNo idea! Weâve never had him near cows before!â
Shiu felt like hitting him.
âWell, she just got off her heat-â At the way that Tojiâs nostrils flare, his grin widens, Shiu almost regrets saying that with a gesture towards you. Oh? He blocks the bullâs greedy line of sight towards you, and grumbles. â-so no funny business.â
Toji scoffs.
âUse your words, Toji.â Kusakabe pleads, âNo need to be like that.â
And he takes a second to pause. To consider. To seemingly mull over his words before- âEat my ass-â
âToji-â
âThatâs it-â Shiu spits, not waiting for either man nor hybrid to finish before heâs stomping off to where you were watching the commotion from (as was the rest of the farm, but it seems like this hulking intruder had eyes only for you).Â
And with his hand placed gently where your flower-patterned collar was, Shiu leads you away from the herd. Away from the pen. Away from Toji, towards the barn where your room was. âThatâs it- for the time that that bull is here, he wonât be seeing a single glimpse of you, thatâs for sure.â
âBut why?â You whine, your head tugging backwards. And Shiu could almost balk at the way that you - you - were half-heartedly resisting his grip, trying to look back at Toji. âWhy canât I-â
âBecause.â
And that was that, you were isolated inside the barn, and Toji was padlocked away in his pen. Far, far away from you for the time that heâd be staying there.
And as Kusakabe waves his exit from his farm, promising to be back in a few days, Shiu makes sure to get a good punch in (all in good friendship, of course). Because Shiu Kong was calm. Shiu Kong was composed. Shiu Kong could survive just a few days with an in-rut bull hybrid infiltrating his farm.
âAnd how long until youâre back again?â
âThree- ouch, three days. You have a good right hook, man.â
After all, it was exactly that - just a few days.
Whatâs the worst that could happen?
.
.
.
The first day.
Toji could see you.
Through the slightest crack in those barn doors, just the tips of your ears peaking out as you glimpse at him. It turns out that just Shiuâs command couldnât hold you, and you staggered your way up to the barn doors whenever that damned farmer of yours wasnât around to see. Watching. Waiting.
Taking in the sight of him.
And it wasnât that Toji wasnât used to stares - he was a prized bull hybrid, larger than most. So it was quite the given that heâd gather stares from competition, from unmated cows, hell, even from farmers who would like their chance at raising human-hybrid offspring. And so it wasnât exactly newâŚ
But just this way you were looking at himâŚit made him shiver.
Those pretty doe-eyes held up a curious, somewhat fearful, admiration. A slight arousal dampening between your legs that his honed senses could smell from even hereâ
Toji swears something in him had snapped the very split-second that heâd arrived here.
That heâd first locked eyes with you.
That heâd first sniffed at the remaining sweetness of your heat. Your sex.
Every sense in him right now (even the rational ones) were screaming at him to break out of this enclosure and waltz right up to you, break through those barn doors if he had to. He wanted to smell your pheromones. To hold you. To stuff his hot, throbbing cock between your legs and watch as you struggle to take it all.
He wanted to breed you.
And - multiple times - Toji found himself barging against the locked doors of his pen. Whispering your sweet, sweet name underneath his breath (learned from some of the other hybrids that watched him), ramming his horns against the wooden walls.
He was in rut.
Badly.
Badly, badly, badly.
The sheer intensity of it was more than anything else heâd ever felt- fuck, not even his first rut had felt this strong. It wasnât that he was unmated. It wasnât that he was in an unfamiliar place. It was just you, you, you.
Taking the wind out of his lungs. Making his length ache heavily between his strong legs. Wafting his intoxicating scent - something spicily sweet, with a peculiar tang in it that made you drunk on it like liquor, like mulled wine - all the way to where you were watching from the barn doors.
Youâre sagging heavily against its wooden frame to take it in, sighing at the murky pheromones that seemed to cloud the entire farm-
âOi, girlie!âÂ
And through it all, that damned Shiu had made sure to cockblock him.
Even now, here came his annoying, grating tone. Heâd kept a close eye on Toji ever since Kusakabe had left in his truck, rarely straying too far from the hybrid pen. He was always butting in, always breaking the stare-down between you two.
With one hand on his hip, the farmer watches as you startle at his voice. Suddenly hurrying to stumble back inside the barn where you came from.
And it wouldâve almost been cute had it not been a result of you breaking one of his direct rules: do not interact with the bull in rut. But the thing is, youâd never seen a bull like himâand he was in rut? OhâŚ
Shiu barks out, âWhereâd you think you were going, huh? Yeah- thatâs right, inside.â And with you gone, Shiu would glare up at Toji. Toji wasnât shy to glare right back.
âProblem?â He smiles.
âYeah-â The farmer had crinkled his nose- and pointed at the way that Toji had been impatiently pushing against the enclosing walls, trying to break out, trying to get to you. He spits out distastefully, â-that. Donât think youâre getting anywhere near her, got it?â
âNot at all.â
That night, Shiu had sent for a few more locks to be delivered from the hardware store downtown (he wasnât even sure that they did delivery, but heâd coax them into if it meant not taking his eyes off of you). Multiple. Heâd fixed them onto the gates of Tojiâs pen, âThis should keep you out.â Shiu had declared, jangling the metallic additions with one hand. âNot even the finest bulls in the world would be able to break through these. Hah! Take that.â
âFuck off.â
Heâd charged at the other man, but alas, the gates stayed steadfast.
.
.
.
The second day.
Toji had murmured your name like a mantra all night.
All night.
Again and again and again-
âHe really doesnât seem so bad, Shiu.â Youâd tried to whine to the farmer, when heâd come back into the barn after fixing a few more locks - the count was reaching upwards of ten by now - on the gates of the bullâs enclosure.
But Shiu had only waved off your pleading noises, âNow, donât give me that look. I heard the way he was ramming against those gates last night, I heard his bellows.â Needless to say, you had, tooâŚâAnd I just donât think itâs safe for you to be out when such a bull is in rut, girlie. Not unless you wanted to be mated- hah!â
WellâŚ
You pushed your quivering thighs together. Youâd hate to admit that in the privacy of your room last night, listening to Toji grow so desperate, listening to him say your name like thatâŚyouâd actually reached for your heat toys about once or twice.
Youâd never felt this way about a bull before- hell, youâd never felt this way about anyone before.
And it was such a strange sensation to be glidinâ up the buzzinâ tip of your vibrator to your clit, massaging that sweet lilâ nub without the carnal pangs of your heat. Just the carnal pangs ofâŚpure need-
âBesides.â Shiuâs cutting through your lecherous memory, and you hope the evidence of your lewd acts donât show on your face. He gently pats at your head, the way heâs done so many times before. âYou donât need to be mounted by such a big, bad bull. My poor girl.â
âI donât?â You mutter to yourself.
And Shiu doesnât seem to catch on, âAfter all, itâs not like youâre in heat.â
NoâŚyou suppose not.
But you canât help but raise your face into the saturated atmosphere, seemingly so balmy and languid ever since Toji stepped foot onto the farm. And there, you can smell the most addictive scent- fuck, something that just made your core twitch with need.
âFeeling alright, my girl?â Shiu looks on at the way you shiver, and whatever he sees there makes him lead you back to your place within the barn. âHm, maybe you should get some rest- itâs probably that bullâs pheromones messing you up.â
âM-messing me up?â Youâre asking, your entire body feeling set alight. Though, you didnât feel the slightest bit messed up.
âMhm- since youâre unmated, just coming off an unsuccessful heat. But itâs alright-â Shiu reassures, starting to shut your door, and thereâs a meaningful look in his eyes. âWe can try again next year, I have a few other bulls in mind that you might like to mate with. And he wonât be getting anywhere near you until then.â
âHe wonâtâŚâ
Shiu continues, âBesides, Kusakabe will be picking him up tomorrow, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.â
You donât say anything, but you know that you arenât worried. Not even the slightest bit.
In factâŚyour body wished heâd be here even longer.
But ah- if he was just going to be taken away tomorrow, then what was the use in wanting? As your wooden door slams shut, youâre realizing that you just might never see him again.
And, outside, Toji only rams against the pen fence even harder.
He wanted you.
He wanted you.
He wanted you.
.
.
.
The third (and final) day.
Or is itâŚ
âWhat?â Shiu barks into his phone receiver, so loud that it startles every hybrid grazing in the vicinity. All of them were out, leaving the barnhouse all barren by this point - though Shiu didnât doubt that his voice reached even you inside. And the sheer incredulousness in his tone makes even Toji look over, with a smirk that told the farmer that he was quite enjoying witnessing his distress. But Shiu paid no mind to that.
He couldnât.
Right now, he was much more frazzled by the words that had the utter fuckinâ audacity to sheepishly leave Kusakabeâs mouth on the other end of the line. Almost in a trance, Shiu pinches the bridge of his nose and repeats. âSoâŚyouâre telling meâŚâ Each word tremored with the sheer effort that it took to keep the rage out of them, âThat you want meâŚto comeâŚâ
âAll the way to Tokyo to help me fix up my engine and save me from being stranded? Yes.â Kusakabeâs voice finishes off, âShiu, my oldest friend, my dearest pal, have I ever told you how much I love y-â
âAtsuya Kusakabe I will kill you.â
Toji snorts out in laughter, and Shiu is suddenly reminded that heâd been in the middle of fixing up just one more lock to the bullâs pen when heâd gotten the call. Gate held ajar for now. Padlocks unlocked as he fixed them on.Â
Glaring at the hybrid for the interruption, Shiuâs pinching the pen closed as he grumbles. âAnd you need me - you canât just go to one of the many, many, many mechanics in Tokyo - because why exactly?â
âAww, donât be like that, Shiu!â Kusakabe cries out, âDo you have any idea how expensive Tokyo is? I just bought a cute lilâ pastry before the convention, and it bankrupted me for generations!â
âAnd you donât have any other friends that are closer?â
âMan, if I had any other friends, period, do you think Iâd be calling you?â
Shiu supposed that was a fair enough statement. âBut- but I canât leaveâŚâ He clicks his tongue, âJust get a train then! Leave that pile of junk at some trash site where it belongs-â
âI mean, I couldâŚâ And though Kusakabeâs tone was one of curious innocence, heâd long since learned that nothing ever boded well for him when he used it. He waits with bated breath until the other man continues- â-but that just means Iâll have to leave my truck - including my cattle trailer, which I use to transport my cattle - here. And you know what else that means Iâll have to leave?â
Shiu shivers, âWh-what?â
âToj-â
âIâll be there right now.â
Kusakabe cackles, âTake your tiiime~!â And soon enough, the sharp tone of the call being ended reaches Shiuâs ears.
With one last semi-glare thrown in Tojiâs direction, the farmer is speed-walking to his own truck - all those tools Kusakabe needed still inside from his last fix-up. More like running. More like sprinting to save his friend.
Not because he wanted to save his friend, of course. But because every second that Kusakabe was stuck in Tokyo, was a second even longer that you were stuck with Toji on this farm.
All alone.
And he couldnât have rushed out of here more determined.
More hasty.
More careless-
âWell, would ya look at that.â Tojiâs scarred lips twitch upwards into a grin. And heâs reaching one of his beefy arms out to lightly - just lightly - nudge at the wooden gate of his enclosure. Watching as it swings wiiiiiiide openâcreeeeak! Bearing the rest of the farm to him with welcome arms. âWhat a sweet little gift fâme.â
All those pesky padlocks and ties, carefully added over the last few days, were useless if some silly lilâ farmer ever forgot to lock them.
Toji takes such delight in taking that first step out of his enclosure, broad pecs heaving as he takes in the candied trail of scent left all over by a certain pretty cow hybrid. You.
He then takes a second step, a third, a fourthâ
And he knows exactly where heâs heading to - the barn.
Where you were just settling in for the day, your feverish body settling atop a particularly soft, tangled mass of golden hay. Cuddling in. Youâd heard Shiuâs truck take off, though it would be out-of-character for him to leave so suddenly. You werenât sure what to think, and you were just about to nod off whenâŚ
Creak-creak-creeeeeakâ!
The barn door opens.
Shiu? Fluttering open your eyes, youâre just about to raise your head and ask him what all the yelling and commotion was, when-
Oh.
Oh.
That wasnât the farmer at all.
Tojiâs large, sculptured figure takes up nearly the entire door frame. And even from here you can see his sultry grin, his agitated hips. You can smell his intense drunken pheromonesââRoom for two, sweetcheeks?â
.
.
.
âIâm- hah, sensitive thereâŚâ Youâre pouting as Toji relentlessly tugs you by your stubby horns towards him. His overlarge hand plastered to the back of your scalp and guided you down between his meaty thighs - not only had he kissed you silly by this point, but the hybrid had you drenched and quivering all over the hay for more.
But firstâŚ
Your watery eyes bulge as you take in the sheer length between Tojiâs legs - inches upon inches, throb after throb, all looooong and rock-hard with need. His erection stood right up to graze his navel with glittery drops of precum.
Decorated with so many puffy veins down his shaft that your cunt twitched just imagining how heâd feel inside of you.
Each one pulsated as Toji drip-drip-dripped in gooey sap down his cock, all ready to pierce your hot sex. Heavy balls tightening with even more, with the urge to breed. And youâd do well to remember that bull hybrids in particular were known for having absolutely massive cocks-
âWhatâcha thinking about, sweet girl?â Toji hums, the point of that nickname proven when he takes a deep, heaving gasp of the pheromone-saturated air.Â
Before you can answer, one of his hands slither down to grip that heavy cock of his. Right âround the fat hilt where he can move his long length to smack! down between your half-parted lips. Using just the globular tip of his cock, heâs smearinâ apart your maw and just glossing over it with his creamy pre. âYouâre not thinking of tapping out already, huh? Youâre notâŚscared are you?â
Thereâs a slight mocking hint in his tone, nevertheless youâre shaking your head fervently.Â
He snickers, âThatâs right. You donât care what that stupid farmer of yours has to say, hm?â And ohâToji has to stop himself from simply stuffing every inch inside your mouth already, instead wetting your lips enough so that he can sliiiiide in. âYouâre not really such a good lilâ hybrid like he says- huh?â
Only for big, bad Toji to rut his cock against your mouth. Shutting you up with his flared tip, you can taste the pure arousal seeping into your mouth.
All warm nâ wet on top of your tastebudsâyouâre drooling around his thick tip before you even know it.
âNo, because youâre a baaaaad girl, arenât ya?â Heâs tutting, swiping away the splatters of saliva that just kept on leaking from the edges of your mouth- and instead, heâs reeling back to replace it with a jetstream of his own spittle. Straight onto the middle of your tastebuds.
With a second hand tugging open your mouth, Toji takes a nice look at that gluey wad sitting on your tongue- before heâs plunging his rude cock right back in between your lips. âBecause youâre- haaaaah, careful, careful, no teeth- because youâre my good girl, arenât ya?â Staring at you with half-lidded green eyes, âAllllll mine.â
âMmmpfââ Youâre muffling out around his raw girth, Toji was just so big that your maw was constantly open in this lecherous âohâ shape.
Gobbling his veiny inches up even deeper and deeper, youâre only growing wetter at the way that his bawling divot scrapes down the roof of your mouth. Swervinâ left and right, and reaching for that cute lilâ dangly thing at the back of your throat-
âEver taken a bullâs cock before?â
Choking at the lodgement in your throat, âN-noââ
âYeah? Thought so. Ever taken anyone before?â
Shaking your head.
âWell then, sheâs taking me so- hah, well.â Tojiâs crooning out from above you, fucking his hips in sloppy half-thrusts inside your mouth. That rough line of his happy trail ends up scratching the tip of your nose, and you find that his intoxicating scent only grows stronger the closer you getâŚâHavenât you had breakfast today, sweetcheeks?â
With tearful eyes, youâre looking up at him in confusion. âMmmângh.â
âAh ah- flick your tongue at my tip if you wanna say ânoââoh, just like that.â And then his mean, scarred lips end up formulating a mocking pout. âSuch a cute tongue, canât believe sheâs gone hungry for so long- ngh.â
âI-â Tears stream down both your cheeks, and youâre panting out through each thrust of his achinâ cock. âFuck, Toji, youâre just so big-â
Other hand pushing on the back of your clammy head, deeper nâ deeper. His superhuman strength was just incredible- âAnd look, sheâs just become so greedy.â As if he wasnât the one tunneling every spot inside your mouth, spotting it with his pre. âDonât you know you donât have to take any more, sweet girl, donât you- ohââ Toji accurately hits the back of your throat, a direct thud! of his globular cockhead. He grins, watching you salivate around his cock- â-oh, fine, if you insistâŚâ
âYouâre- hck!â And the fact of the matter was that he hadnât even fully bottomed-out yet. Criss-crossing your eyes, you spot that you had even more inches to go- âYouâre so ngh-â
âAnd you want me to bruise the back of your- oh, throat, you say?â Tojiâs cutting you off with his mean grunts, smack after smack of his heavy balls.Â
They graze the front of your chin and make you feel such carnal pangs, your cunt grinding back against your heels. âI didnât even- oh.â But too late - his geysering divot was already bruising away back there.Â
Push after push.
Probe after probe.
Until Tojiâs shaft had stirred up every single hidden spot inside of you, and he was swelling up even more like he wanted more, more, moreâ
âToji-â Your nails claw down the pale expanse of Tojiâs thighs, just so plush rippling underneath your touch. âToji I want-â
âOhoooo?â His raven brows raise in amusement, a mean grin spreading across his face. âThe good girl is making demands now, hm?â As you whimper away, heâs thrashinâ at the back of your throat- again and again. âI guess I canât just keep listening to her, huh?â
Her? WhoâŚoh.Â
He was talking about your thoroughly damp pussy, with the sappiest noises leaving you each time youâre pushing back on your heels. Soaked with desire.
And Toji seems amused by your shocked reaction, âHow cuteâŚgo on then, sweetcheeks. Go on. Lemme know what that cute lilâ heart of yours desires.â
Youâre pulling back from his red, glisteninâ tip with a lecherous pwah! âI-I wantâŚâ Youâre sobbing, lashes fluttering in a way that makes- oh, you wonât be mad if he told you he was getting even harder now, would you? â-I want to feel you, Toji.â
To feel him?
To feel him?
His hazy peripherals snap down to see the way you were eyeing his long, long length. And then heâs realizing - oh, you wanted to feel him inside, did you?
InsideâŚfuck.
Your eyes damn near bulge out of your skull at the way that Tojiâs rock-hard length only seemed to grow evenâŚbigger at your words. Flaring up until he was red-hot at the tip, all slicked with a glaze of saliva and pre.
Toji smacks his painfully hard shaft down once more at your maw, âWhat dirty, dirty words- and from such a good girl?â He scoffs.
And just as youâre about to explain yourself, youâre suddenly feeling near whiplash at the way that Toji grabs onto your throat and flips the two of you around. Hoisting. Manhandling. Ending up with his back against the floor, head against the hay, and your naked cunt drivelling right above him.Â
So wet and pretty.
Tojiâs mouth waters at the sight of your damp, glistening hole. And he canât help but immediately reach one hand over to thumb apart your puffy pussylips, pressinâ apart your folds and spitting straight into your hole.
âOr were they words from her, hm?â Tojiâs gruffly snickering, flopping that wide tongue of his out to catch your droplets of slick. âTalking out of that pussy, hah- youâre even dirtier than I thought, sweetcheeks.â
Your thighs ache as they hover, slightly chasing the warmth of his mouth. âMân-not dirty! I just wanted to feel youâŚâ Casting a longing look behind at his throbbing length-
âAs if. And you can have my cock-â You look up hopefully at his answer, how cuteâyou couldnât even properly fit his cock inside your mouth, and now you think you could fit him inside your cunt? â-but first Iâve gotta stretch this dirty girl ouuuuut.â
âBut, I can take- hngh!â
As if. Before you know it, Tojiâs slithering his long, looooong tastebuds inside your cunt with absolutely no warning, no hesitation.
Just the ridged texture of his muscle slithering inside, and youâre quivering at the sheer size of him. And he feels the tightness of your circular innards and grins- âWoahâŚâ Just a single taste of you, and his pheromones are blasting out in pure need. âDonât you know that you hafta stretch âer out first, hm? What- never done this before?â
Gingerly, you shake your head ânoâ.
âOh- reeeeeally.â Just pryinâ aside your folds, you were so fucking wet that that honeyed slick splashes down onto his face like a puddle. Toji rolls his eyes, âI wouldâve never thought.âÂ
You huff nâ puff atop him, âDonât- donât tease, Toji-â
âWhy, mânot teasing..â Heâs spitting on your cunt yet again, letting the dewy excess trickle back down into his throat. âI already know that this pretty pussy hasnât been satisfied like she deserves. I can fucking taste it-â Tunneling back in again. âCan hear it.â The most lecherous slurps echoing in your ears as he does, the bullâs ears flick your way to listen to it. âShe wants only me- heh, wants me to be her first, doesnât she?âÂ
Slurp-slurp-sluuuuurping as heâs rovering his tongue, somehow contracting it and extracting it in a way that massages your velvety walls.
Again and again.
âAll you hafta do is sit there- all pretty, and take it.â Toji croons, and something dark glints within that gaze of his as he catches your lost expression. âWhat? That dear farmer of yours never taught you how to take it like a good girl when yer being eaten out.â
âN-no-â
âThen let me teach youââ Oh, you knew he didnât bode well by the way that he said it. You knew it.Â
And in a split-second, Toji has one hand plastered at your hip, and the other veering upwards to smack! down on your swollen pussy. âAh ah-â As you buck, that hold he has on you grows numbing, and youâre sure heâs leaving nail marks there for weeks. âTojiâs first rule- donât run.â
âI wonâtââ Youâre swallowing your words back just as soon as you say them, because just then- two of his rovering fingertips intrude their way inside your cunt.
Not even waiting for you to get used to him, not even faltering as you squeeeeeeze.
Heâs straightly stuffing two of them inside your snug channel, the bulbous ends of Tojiâs digits digging into each of your hidden spots without even trying. Turning them over. Pushing into every nook nâ cranny nâ crevice over and over- âOh my god-â Bellowing out, your body starts to move back and forth against him - as if it didnât know whether you wanted to bounce down or run away- âToji, Iâve never felt something like this- ngh.â
Only for a loud smack! to ring out against your wet pussylips once again, and for Toji to haul you back onto his mouth with his beefy arm. âWhatâd I say about rule number- hah, one, hm? Silly girl.â
He was stopping you from running from it.
He was looping one of his thick, beefy biceps âround your waist, stopping you from moving away from his open-mouthed kisses. âGood.â Pulling you in so close that his golden nose ring presses frigidly against your clit and makes you flinch. âAtta girl- atta, sweet girl.â Toji smirks against your cunt, once you try squirming your hips and find that you canât move even a single inch. âNow squeeeeeze those pretty legs around, I donât care if I fucking suffocate, use me, sweetness- thatâs the second rule.â
âLike- like this?â You ask, your whiny pitch trembling just as much as your legs were by now. Feebly, they attempt to straddle Tojiâs head properly.Â
To which it almost looks as if the bull hybrid was about to laughââNo.â
Numerous more spanks of his fingertips on your cunt, and soon enough youâre finding yourself completely limb atop him. As he fingers you to tears, rotund fingertips scouring all the way to your cute cervix-
âI mean-â From your hips, his hand is then moving to your thighs. Wrapping around them to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze- until Toji felt light-headed. â-like this.â
âI think mâd-doing it.â Youâre gyrating atop him wildly by now, finding a staccato in time with his thudding! fingers. Not only were they thick, they were just so long too - and they left you feeling dizzy with his vulgar strokes, with his incredible scent. Â
âThird rule, fuck back into me.â He commands, with that specific tone of a bull in rut that made you want to listen to him immediately. Your hamstrings screamed in protest as you continue, âFuck her back into me- harder now, arenât you a cow hybrid? Buck.â
You could barely even believe your ears, âYouâre just so fucking mean- fuck!â
âYeah, yeah, just like that.â
And Tojiâs tongue? Oh, he wasnât just staying still - not at all.
Toji had his tongue wrapped âround your throbbing clit and spanking down with his tastebuds. âAnd the fourth and final rule-â He gurgles through the wettened wads you were seeping out, â-is to get ready.â
Youâre blinking your teary eyes back open, looking down at him in shock. âGet ready for what?â
It takes a few more probinâ thrusts before he can bear to pull away- and that, too, with the loudest smooch! The bull hybridâs pants come out in heaving gusts, scalding air making you quiver at the sensation.
âGet readyâŚâ Toji rattles off, after a few sultry seconds. And oh- you wonder, why was his tone octaves higher? Why did he sound so breathy? Why was there somethingâŚcrazed in the way he said it- â-because you think a bull hybrid in rut would really be this nice, sweetcheeks?â
Jaw dropping, âOh-â
âYou donât know how painful it was to hold myself back-â
And before you know it, your spineâs arching as you struggle to accommodate him- struggling to handle the raw primal pressure of his thick tongue and two- three of his fingers plunging into your hole. Pushing and pushing and pushingâ
Youâve become masterful at rule number three, it seems, as youâre pressing your thighs upon either side of Tojiâs face until he groans.Â
All of his appendages just reaching all the way for the very back of your cuntââOhhh, please-â Your head throws backwards as you feel him fuck you with his tongue like he was trying to ruin your inexperienced pussy. âP-please-â
âOh mâ having a pleasant time alright.â Toji snickers, his heated pants leaving your skin perspired. The mountains of his knuckles were striking your outer pussy so hard now that they were starting to grow red on his skin. âSâfuh-fucking sweet.â Stinging.
Plap! after plap! Youâre moaning as his mouth unhinges undeniably deeper to let even more of his tongueâs inches inside. Stretchinâ out your cute orifice, âGonna hafta stretch her at least twice- haaah- twice as fuck! much if you wanna fit my cock, sweet girl.â
âTwice as muchâŚâ Youâre repeating breathlessly, you couldnât even begin to imagine it. It already felt like Toji was pulling you to your very limits - so even moreâŚ
âRule number five- just made it up, heh.â Toji spits out - literally, a glittering glob of spittle that sticks to your slit. It slides down to your hold and makes it easy for him to thrash his tongue inside like an animal- like he was frenzied by his pheromones, like he couldnât control himself from push-push-pushing.
Not even at a controlled cadence- Toji couldnât stop himself from squishing your sweetest spots at the very back of your cunt. In almost no time, heâs finding that cute lilâ heart-shaped g-spot of yours - and Tojiâs fingertips and tongue were fighting over which one gets to press on it the most.
Again and again until youâre in actual tears- âRule number five is- ngh, you have to take it.â Holding you to him, until your cunt folds were plastered against his puffy lips. âTake it all like my good girl if you wanna finally take my cock.â
âPlease-â Being pummelled away to the maximum, itâs all you can say like a constant mantra. âPlease please- ngh! Please-â
âThatâs all that dirty mouth can say now?â Toji tuts, âTch- what happened to wanting me inside? Wanting my cock? Wanting to be fucked like the slut you secretly are?â
Primal swabs, again and again.
Twofold.
After each word, Tojiâs tongue sizzles against your tender pussy - lips glued so deeply against your folds, that you can feel him lappinâ away every ounce of your slickness.
It drips slightly down his chin, and leaves your cunt slipping on top of Tojiâs handsome face. You grab onto his large horns with a yelp- âOh! Fuck, Toji- did I really say that?â
âOf course you did- hah, gallop, sweethearts.â With yet another spank, he rovers his face even deeper between your trembly legs. Nose-deep. Skin-deep. So deep, in fact, that the veins on Tojiâs sculptured neck pop out.
Youâre unsteadily bucking against him on instinct, and that leaves the man groaning. âJust like that.â Swallowing up every inch of your outer cunt, youâre being pierced by the relentless ministrations of his tongue again and againââYou asked to be fucked like a slut- hngh, and thatâs exactly what mâgiving you. Arenât I just the beeest mating partner, sweetcheeks?â
âBut I didnât-â Youâre babbling out, drunk on the vicious scrape-scrape-scrape of his intrusions. His fingers pushed just as your g-spot, and you could feel him glissading down even deeper. Deeper. Deeper. â-I didnât say thatââ
âOh, didnât you?â Heâs hazily looking up from between your legs - there was something bleary in his eyes, something gone. âI think I remember-â
âWell I donât-â As youâre raising your voice, you canât believe it- Tojiâs powerful tail wraps around your thighs and drags you back down.
He rumbles, âRule number oneâŚâ In warning.
And itâs only with a few more thuds! that Tojiâs pretending to remember just what youâre whininâ away about, his dark brows shooting up to his bangs. And you can feel your treacly cunt quiver with the vibrations of his laughter, âBut ah- I remember now.â His eyes crinkle into slits of amusement, eating you out until his nose ring slicks with your syrup. Just the notion is enough to leave his pheromones heightening, âI believe you saidâŚâyou wanted to feel meâ.â
Mouth dropping in recognition, âOh- I did.â
âAnd what did you mean by that, hm?â Toji speaks through the ringing slurps, zap after zap of pleasure. âYouâre already feeling me here-â Pokinâ at your g-spot, âAnd here-â His tongue snakes out to suck on your clit once more.Â
âI just meant I wanted to feel you- hck!â
His sweaty brows furrow, âBut yer already feeling me-â
âNo- more like I wanted to feel your-â Youâve never spoken words like this before, not even in the throes of your worst heats. You glance back at his twitching erection, â-there.â
âMy where?â
âYour- your cock, Toji!â Youâre wailing out, your legs feeling numb at the way he strikes your sweetest bundle of nerves. âI wanna feel your thick, looooong cock- please.â
Oh, you really were such a dirty girl. Heâs gnawing down on that nub of your clit, âAnd where do you wanna feel my thick- looooong- cock, hm?â
Youâre stammering, mouth growing less in-your-control the longer heâs making a mess of your poor pussy. âInside-â
âInside where?â
âInside my cunt-â And youâre shocked you manage that out without stumbling over your words, gryatinâ back into his open maw with sly figure eights. But even that wasnât enoughâ
Toji rolls his eyes, such a mess. Such a shattered mess. Just pushing and tasting and lavishing his tongue all over- âSay it again-â When youâre repeating your sultry words, âMore- dirtier. Be good fâme, girl, say it again-â
âI want your cock inside my cunt, Toji.â Youâre whimpering out, youâre shaking. Feeling the inexperience bubble within each of your veins, because the hybrid was just having so much fun corrupting you. âI want it inside- want you to fuck me with that cock so badly-â
âAtta girl.â
Forcing you to say those lecherous words, forcing you to cumâ
âOh my god-â With your back arched, youâre throwing your body into the wave of pleasure that suddenly bursts inside your body. âC-cumming- Iâm cumming, Toji-â
âAnd itâs all because of me.â Heâs smugly saying, perfectly puncturing at your g-spot with his constant pushes.Â
Because of Tojiâs rut, his senses were so honed that he could mark each peak of your high- the explosion of bliss that he pinpointed with his fingers, with the slashes of his tongue. âHeh- me.â With a wet chuckle, Tojiâs tongue was going to lick up every inch of your pussy like he was frenzied. Couldnât get enough. Lap after lap. âMe me me me-â He sucks on your clit, letting his canines nibble lightly on them, and it lets out the most lewd sluuuuurp. â-and look- sheâs thanking me.â
âFuck! Never felt something so good-â Whining out, youâre bouncing your back into each of his hits. â-might be the best orgasm Iâve ever had- hck!â
âSâa pleasure, sweet girl.â
By the time the best of your high bates, Toji still hasnât let up between those syrupy legs of yours. When heâs licked up every droplet of sap youâre letting out, heâs moving over to lick at the sheen of slick glued to your thighs.Â
Again and again.
Until youâre all the way overstimulated, and tears start to drip as if from a faucet. âI th-think mâdone, Toji.â As if he already didnât know - youâre pushing at his clammy head. âMy orgasmâs over, I wanna try taking your cock now-â
âAnd youâre sure?â
He wasnât asking to be nice. He was asking to make you turn your head and balk at the way his impossible size had only seemed to grow even bigger. Your lips wobbling, âY-yes.â
âOho?â Dark brows raising, he stops his ministrations and moves both hands to now grip at your waist. âWell, you did tell me to put my âthick, looooong cock inside of your cuntâ-â
âSo shut up and do it.â Huffing in embarrassment, you pound at his muscular chest - and he could barely even feel it, like kitten kisses on his bulky body. Itâs enough for Tojiâs cock to jolt with need, and for his attractive face to break out into a grin.
âAtta girl.â
And with that final compliment, Tojiâs making to grab onto your waist and lift you off of his faceâwith the loudest smooch! Itâs ringing out like the prettiest melody in both your eardrums, and Toji just barely manages to disconnect himself with your sweet pussy.
Just barely breaks his lips from your tender folds, all slickly glossed.
Just barely wrenches you off with ease, and takes one nice look at your hole - when youâre realizing that Toji Fushiguro suddenly stops. His nostrils suddenly flare. He suddenly stutters-
âO-oh, sweet girl. I donât think you even realize-â Toji gawks up at your cunt. And youâre feeling somewhat shy when he filthily leans his features in and takes a good, long sniff at your cunt. As youâre looking up at him in confusion, â-youâre in heat.â
âIn heat?â He sets you down near his rugged v-line, and youâre animalistically grinding your cunt down on his thickened length. You look up at him for answers, âWhat do you mean? Shiu said Iâve already finished my heat-â
âFuck what Shiu says, silly girl.â Lightly spanking your pussy, Toji rolls his sage eyes. His pupils were all blown-out and bleary with lust, only darkening the more he takes in your buttery pheromones.Â
Oh, you smelled like the sweetest freshly-whipped cream - and that only made his mouth water as much as his swollen cock was. Drenching the cute innards of your thighs nâ your pussy mound with his sap, he grins. âI can smell it.â He parts his scarred lips, a thin line of saliva trickling down one side. âI can fucking- taste it-â
âOhââ Youâre gyratinâ back against his plummy cock tip, oh-so-lewdly. And you take another sniff of yourself, reaching up to feel that your scent glands have swollen up. âI g-guess youâre right-â
âSugar, I am right.â
Before you know it, the worldâs a blur around you- and suddenly you find your back against the soft hay. Your head being cushioned by one of Tojiâs rugged palms, Tojiâs large body hovering over you. Pressing you down-
âAnd this pretty pussyâs tellinâ me that this is yer first heat with a bull, hm?â Sliding his thumb between your glossy crevice, he listens for the squelches. âAwww, how cuteâso mâyour first, sweet girl?â
âYes- yes.â And when he places his fleshy cock between your legs, at that sweet spot where you wanted him the most, you canât help but realize that oh- heâd been stretching you out for so long for a good reason.
Because Tojiâs hybrid cock looked absolutely ginormous between your legs, especially with the way heâd thickened up in size while eating you out. His cockhead was as red as a huge strawberry, and multiple times bigger. Bull hybrids, famed for the shaft length - now slipping nâ sliding between your pussylips.
Just kissing at your geysering orifice- âOh- fuck.â
âAnd you know having you on top would be the easiest for herâŚâ That said, heâs swatting his rough fingertips down on the nub of your clit. Heâs spitting. He growls, and itâs enough to send shivers down your spine- âBut mâstill gonna have her in a mating press.â Throwing your legs over his shoulders, folding you damn in half. âBecause you also forget one- fuck-â Just feeling you clench around nothing, enough to make him reach up and grab at a wooden beam. â-thing, sweetness.â
âAnd whatâs that, Toji?â
âIâm in-â Hard enough that the wooden beam breaksââ-rut.â
Fourth rule, remember?
Because you didnât think that heâd go this easy on you when heâs in fuckinâ rut, did you? You didnât think that he was going to fuck you nicely, did you? You didnât think that he wasnât going to act like a damn animal, did you?
In a sudden motion, Tojiâs plugging your hole up with his thick cockhead- and shoving it deep into your deepest insides. Long. Hard.
Youâre yelping, nails finding purchase on his deltoids and clawing on for dear life because- âA virgin, are ya?â He tuts, âDonât think mâgonna go easy on ya.â
âOh my goodness-â Thighs curling around his toned waist, hips attempting to buck away. âHoly fuck-â
âEasy, easy.â It was just so cute the way you were struggling - especially when you were talking so big about wanting him. âBreathe in, girl- there ya go.â Youâre following as he instructs, âBreathe in. Breathe out. Breathe inââ And suddenly thereâs a sodden spank at your pussy, â-you, too, pretty pussy.â
Something that catches you off-guard, and makes you swallow him up an inch deeper. Your eyes rolling all the way to the back of your skull, âFuck fuck fuck fuck- Iâve never felt like this. Youâre so big- hold on, Toji, youâre so-â
âHold on?âÂ
âWhat-â
âHold on?â
Heâs then spitting out into your open mouth, and slapping your pussy so hard that youâre seeing stars. Instantly, youâre set on edge by the way that his rugged cock suddenly slams- âYouâre telling me to h-hold on?â
And was that a stutter in his sentence?
A laugh?
Toji Fushiguro sounded like he was fucking losing it by merely hearing your whining questions- âYou seriously want me toâŚâ Clawing down in front of your body, one of his rude hands press down on your stomach as heâs sinking iiiiiiin. It makes you feel every ridge nâ vein, every inch, every bit of his thick shaft intruding in. â-hold on?â
âItâs just- I just didnât think youâd be so big-â He was barely even halfway in and you could already feel Toji at your throat, gushing out sticky wads of slick. With your feet planted on the hay-littered ground, youâre trying to arch your back nearly away fromâ
âOi- who said you could tap out?â Before you know it, Tojiâs hand lifts from your thigh to grab onto your tail - one pulling you in by the tail, his right hand still feeling for that tummy bulge he was fucking into you.
You canât get away by the way heâs manhandling you back down into his hips, skidding straight across the barnyard floor. âTch- ya need ta be herded or what, silly girl?â Grazing his dark happy trail against your front, the curly tufts of it scratch your clit. âCome back tâme- rule number one, remember?â
âFuck-â Throwing your head back in tears, your legs were limp from the sheer pressure being put on your lower half. â-I can feel you reaching in so deep-â
âAnd you wanted me to hold on?â
He was never going to let that go - he was never going to give you even the slightest second to get used to his incredible length.Â
Palm pressing down on the cylindrical outline makinâ itself known on your tummy - just that big. Pelvis moving in a rapid, urgent half-thrusts-
Toji isnât even waiting for your cunt to take it all, his red cockhead probinâ just inwards. Inwards and inwards and inwards. He can feel the tight resistance of your pussy, your sweet body unable to take him whole right now- and it only makes him groan.
With his head thrown back, heâs letting go of your tail to smear apart your pussylips. âMâin fucking rut and you wanted me to hold on-â Heâs hissing, pushing your snug folds so far apart that you have no choice but to take his hammers. âBeen teasing me with that s-sweet scent ever since I fucking got here and you want me to hold on-â Pulling you to him. Dragging you to him.
Toji breaks every single second that heâs not fully sheathed inside of you, and heâs just pummeling his hips deeper- âHold on, hold on, hold on.â After each mention of his mantra, heâs rutting in. âYou want me to h-hold on and-â Harder. â-and you know what-â Deeper. â-I want to do, sweet girl?â
âWhat-â Youâre gasping out through your tears, sticking to both of your cheeks by now. âWhat do you want, Toji?â
âI want to- fuck! Well, first I want to fucking fit-â Heâs whispering underneath his breath, darkened eyes narrowed as he takes it in. âFit- fit- fit-â Before you know it, heâs spitting down once more on your cunt and shoving his cockhead inside. â-fucking fit-â
Blinking away the tears in your eyes, âAnd- hah, and what else did you want?â By the heightening of his pheromones, you already knew that it was something about to ruin you.
âI wantâŚâ He was teasing you now, just lightly grazinâ that blushing hot tip against the roof of your cunt. You could feel him filling up every sneaky orifice, and Toji was fucking you like heâd just gone feral- âI want to-â
âOh, fuck!â
With a final, lewd thrust- Toji Fushiguro bottoms out.
â-breed ya, sugar.â
And he meant it. The massive bull hybrid was drilling into you like a madman- his cattle nose ring clanging with each rut. âIâve been wanting to breed you since the moment I stepped foot here.â Toji growls, the red crown of his shaft directly heading towards your cervix now. Bruising. âI want to fuck- fuck you through every day of your heat- my rut.â And he was emptying out such long strings of precum into your womb, âTry to get you pregnant every single day of my rut.â
âYouâre going to get meâŚâ Your pupils are swirlinâ in comical circles within the whites of your eyes, and just the mere notion makes your tastebuds sizzle with saliva. You hadnât spent your heat properly with a bull- let alone found yourself mated by one.
Bred by one.
âFucking pregnant.â Toji finishes off with a snicker, pushing against that cute lilâ tummy bulge that he was pounding into you.Â
âOh, please-â Youâre throwing your head back with a mewl, âBut Iâve never been m-mated to anyone before. Are we sure itâs going to take, Toji-â
âIâll make it take.â
His jackhammers were so hard by this point, enough so that your sap splatters out of you in puddles. It glistens right down the inner parts of your thighs, and Toji swipes his thumb down from your pussy to glaze it in the syrup. To reach up to his scarred maw and suck on it.
And when he feels your spit-slicked lips start to wobble out more concerns, heâs pushing that very thumb between your own lips.
âShut it, silly girl. Ya really think that when I hah- when I fuck you like thisâin this mating press.â As if on cue, his manhandling strength seems to be folding you even deeper in half. âWith this pretty pussy-â Dragging out a few more slurps with his thrusts, â-and my rut- youâre not gonna be walking outta this barn stupidly pregnant?â
âI-I donât-â
âSilly, silly girl.â Itâs a rude thwack! of his curvaceous ball sack after each slam, and you can feel your body grow more restless after each of his spat-out words. So mean. âSilly lilâ hybrid thinks sheâs gonna make it outta here- hah, without bearing my calves.â
Youâre shivering, your body so limply fucked by this point- that Tojiâs tail has to wrap around one of your thighs. Holding you up. Interlocking your ankles around his neck with that silky tail- âWell, since mâinexperienced-â
âAnd mâgonna give you the experience of yer life- heh, I already am.âÂ
He was - he really was. Just making you see stars every time Tojiâs overlarge, plump cockhead dug into your g-spot. Somehow heâd managed to map the insides of your walls, and each thrust grazed his length against your sweet bundle of nerves.Â
Probing and probing a bruise exactly the size of his round circumference- âMâgonna corrupt you, sweet lilâ thing.â A sleazy smile spreads across Tojiâs handsome, perspired face. âMâgonna fill you up with so much of my cum that- hah, theyâre gonna be milkinâ it out of you for months afterwards, sweet girl.â
âFuck, Iâd like that-â
âOh yeah?â
âIâd like that s-shoooo much, Toji.âÂ
âBet youâd like it even more after I fill you up with my calves, hm?â He titters, pheromones slowly growing saturated enough to mingle with your own. âAfter I fuck this pretty pussy pregnant ânough times that she remembers how it feels when I fill you up? After I breed you until we can- hah, fill this whole damn farm with them? After I make a momma out of you and no other bull can ever even think of touching you-â
You squeal, âYes- yes yes yes yes-â
His tail tightens around your ankles, horns charging as if he was only growing more nâ more excited. Throbbing with more need. âAnd you better fuckinâ know that these are promises, sweetness. That no fucking farmer can ever break.â Toji stares you deep in your heart-shaped eyes as he says, âI will get you pregnant.â
âOh, Iâd fucking hope so.â You glide your hands down your front, âI wanna feel you right h-here, Toji.â Down where your womb was.
FuckâŚyou were dangerous for a bull in heat.
And his entire body feels feverish with need, the burning sensation of his rut overtaking Toji completely.Â
As his hips only grow sloppier, youâre grazing your sweaty palms further down his body. Starting from his shoulders, before ultimately you end up squeezing Tojiâs massive milky pecs.
Even for a bull, they were just so plush. And you canât help but twiddle your thumbs âround the golden rings that he had pierced through his pinkish nipples, lecherously.
He shivers at the sensitive sensation, âO-oh? Look at you.â Snapping his head down, you swear you could see a rouge flush take over his cheekbones. âYouâre corrupted already.â And both of Tojiâs own hands end up removing from your stomach and your pussy, ending up- oh, you couldâve already guessed.
Both of Tojiâs hands end up on your tits.
Squeezing.
Kneading.
Before you can say a word, heâs already growling out- âAnd as any momma would- weâre gonna hafta make sure youâre making enough milk, huh, sweetcheeks?â That last bit of his sentence ends up drowned between the valley of your chest.
Tojiâs gaping his maw wide open and sucking on your right tit, his left hand pinching the nipples of your left tit.
âI donât think anythingâs gonna come out just yet-â Your tail swishes in arousal as you watch him hollow out his attractive cheeks, thoroughly sucking on your tit like his favorite lolly. Sucking like he was trying to make milk come outââI never did produceâŚmuchâŚmilkâŚâ
As soon as the words leave your mouth, youâre being proved wrong. Because with a gushing sensation, you can feel your hardened nipples stream out something straight into Tojiâs open mouth. âYou were saying?âÂ
Pure white milk.
And he was such a messy eater, your ivory syrup dripping down his lips. It glosses them and created the sweetest lacquer that Toji himself was addicted to- âMmm, so much, sweet thingâfuck.â Heâs pinching at your left tit, too, a splashinâ puddle of milk that he immediately plops his mouth over to gulp up. âYa really are a sweet thing-â
âIâve never made this much even for the farmer-â Youâre gasping, and your milk cascades down Tojiâs chin like a waterfall. Constant. Sloppy âHow did you evenâŚâ
âBecause youâre in heat.â He says- choppy, through the way that he barely wanted to speak, barely wanted to remove himself from the sweet fountains of your spurting milk. âBecause mâin rut.â Tojiâs hips smack into yours so hard that you see white for a second, and his happy trail perfectly carnally itches at your clit. âAnd tonight- weâre gonna make a fucking baby, sweet mama.â
âO-ohââ With your voice cracking, youâre reaching your high. It comes instantaneously, and you arch into Tojiâs glissading muscles as you ride through it.
As youâre fucked through it.
âCumming again?â Tojiâs marvelling, his words thick - he had his mouth full, after all. Smelling the saccharine sweetness of your orgasm in your pheromones, heâs marking each peak of your high with a bang! of his reddened cockhead.Â
Slowly opening up your womb even more, your g-spot felt so red-hot and raw from the inside as he just kept on thumpinâ away there. Again and again and again. âOf course, ya are- fuck. Just like thaaaat, fuck back into me- third rule. They say the momma needs to cum good if we wanna get you pregnant after all-â
âAnd what about you?â Still in the throes of your bliss, you feel absolutely no inhibitions in babbling away. Drunk on the thick, veiny size of him fucking you through your highââArenât you gonna?â
âGonna what?â
âFuckâŚâ
âRule number six-â Toji pipes up, a mean glint in his eyes. â-is to use those words like the big girl you are.â
And you best believe that he was fucking you like he was trying to push the very words up to your throat, his veins massaging your sweet spots and making you shiver, his pearly white teeth back to sucking on your milk. âI want- hah!â You wince when his right hand slithers down to pinch your clit, â-you to cum- fuck.â You moan when his left keeps toyinâ with your nipples, streaming out dairy for Toji to swallow up. â-inside my cunt, Toji.â
And thereâhis eyes slightly widen in interest, âYou really said it.â A proud smile gracing his face, âYou really, reallyâŚoh.â
With a few more lewd thrusts, heâs emptying out his heavy balls.Â
They tighten as they spurt out the creamiest wads of cum waaaaaay back into your spongy womb, suckinâ up each pearly droplet as Toji fucks them inside you. Splashing out. Pooling out. That bawling divot in the middle of his shaft just leaves a murky mess behind, ribbons of ivory that glue your walls together.
âOh fuck-â Heâs clenching his canines, you swear heâs holding back tearsââAnd youâre gonna take it-â Toji snarls, fighting against the urge to throw his head back - simply because he wanted to look at you as he stuffed you till you were overspilling. â-take every single last drop-â
The hulking bull hybrid shakes as you clench your velvety walls. âOh, yes.â Youâre shivering once he smacks! your clit once more, swirlinâ those sultry webs of seed with his fingertips.
Tojiâs pushing them inwards, again and again. âAnd yer gonna keep it, arenât you?â Fucking you, again and again.Â
He hums, gluing the edges of his fingers inside your channel, so that not a single gumdrop can leak out of you. âSecond rule, sweetness, squeeze those pretty legs. Sâgonna tell that pussy to keep my cum inside- give me a lilâ calf, heh.â
âShit- keep talking and IâllâŚâ
Itâs too late for you. Youâre so far gone on his pummeling length that with a few more strokes, youâre reaching your high once more.
White-hot.
Toes curling.
Back arching.
You canât even control yourself, itâs the most powerfully sinful sensation youâve felt in your entire life. And this time, not only are you overspilling in Tojiâs glutinous white cum - youâre also spraying out your own slick. Translucent splashes of sweetness, so powerful that your entire body shakes.Â
Your high was being dragged out of you.
Squirting. You canât believe you squirted during your first heat with a mate, your first heat mounted.
And as he instinctively bucks his hips through it, your new mate swears- âFuck- fuck, donât tell me youâre- oh. You are. Turns out I milked you dry, hm?â Something in him oh-so-triggered by the way you just kept on drippinâ from that pretty cunt, itâs as if the hybrid part of him knew that he had to do something to stop you from losing so much of it. âRule number four, my sweet mate.â
But no bracing in the world could prepare you for what you felt in that very moment - because suddenly youâre feeling a strength so incredible that itâs as if youâre being split apart. âYour- your knot?â
âDamn right.â
You just had to see this for yourself. Chin hitting your chest as you watch Toji push nâ push the incredibly swollen base of his cock inside you. It was so round nâ red, about four times his actual circumference.Â
It sinks in with a lecherous sluuuuuurpâand Toji empties out a few more streaks of cum just from the sheer sensation of having his sensitive hilt sheathed inside of you. Isnât that every bullâs dream? To have a mate as pretty as you, choking and overstimulated around his knot? Ready to take all of him until youâre pregnant-
âWeâre mates now.â Youâre still shivering from the shockwaves of your multiple highs, so overstimulated that you donât hear his murmurs. Sobbing, youâre tugging cutely at his nipple piercings to garner his attention. âWh-what was that, Toji?â
âI saidââ Roughly, he pulls off from your lactating tits. Your milk drivels down either side of his greedy maw, â-that you know a bullâs rut lasts days, right, sweetcheeks?â
âOh.â
âGuess we have a lot to learnâŚh-heh.â

Shiu was halfway through his drive to Tokyo.
Halfway through his window cracked down halfway, his dark hair playing in the breeze, head nodding in time with the beat of some early 2010âs pop hit thatâd surprisingly managed to calm him down during his drive.
Sure, Kusakabe had completely ruined his plans and forced him to leave you unattended on the farm - but Shiu canât help but almost feel grateful towards his friend.
After all, itâs not every day that he gets to go out like this - the life of a farmer sure was a busy one. And it was such a nice day out, driving along smooth and silent in his truck like this was almost therapeutic. Heâs almost considering getting an apprentice or two so that heâd be able to do this more often. He really thinks he could find inner peace like this, maybe all those self-help magazines he grimaced at in convenience stores were onto something. A man needs time for himself, too, yâknow?
Yeah, time for himself. Time to just wind back, enjoy the highway, just appreciate the beauty of the world, yâknow?
Halfway through a drive of peace and quiet, when he suddenly realizes-
And Shiuâs stepping so hard on the brakes that he wouldnât have been surprised if about five other cars smashed into him from behind right about now. And he wouldnât have noticed, eitherââI left the gate of the bull in rut fucking unlocked-â
Immediately after he remembered, Shiu had gone and done a (likely illegal, most definitely illegal) U-turn right then and there. Heading right back where he came from, heâd cut off multiple cars, almost run over some unsuspecting old lady in his haste to get back to his farm - Kusakabe be damned, his best friend could rot in Tokyo until the end of time for all he cared. After all, he was the one that caused all this!
Shiu made it back home in less than half the time it took him to halfway down his journey to Tokyo (heâs sure he ran a few red lights).
And heâs fumbling with the keys of his gates, forgetting his truck and sprinting right up to where his cattle hybrids were. All cooped up inside the pen, they hadnât gone into the barn still - and yet, with one sweeping glance, Shiu canât really find any missing.
So he almost dares to breathe a sigh of relief- before his eyes catch the placement where Kusakabeâs bull had resided. Where Toji resided.
And Shiuâs heart drops at the same time as his jaw.
It was empty.
Quickly, heâs suspecting just why the cows and bulls outside werenât going inside the barn, and Shiu takes another look at his herdâfuck!! Fuck, fuck, fuck - there was one missing.
And he knew exactly who it was.
In urgent, jerky motions, Shiuâs throwing open the gate to the pen (this time double-checking to lock it behind him) and heading straight towards the barn.
The barn where he can hear the rustling of hay, where he can smell the saturated sweetness of hybrid pheromones, where he can seeâoh, you on your hands and knees, with your pretty ass raised high in the air for Tojiâs cock to plough into, his powerful body. Youâre all sprawled out on the hay, saliva and milk splashing out of you at a constant pace. You mewled as he stretched out your cunt so mercilessly, again and again and again. The plump knot âround his base hitting your pussylips with almost painful thwacks!Â
And by the ribbons of miry cum that clung onto both your lower halves, Shiu was safe to assume that this certainly wasnât the first roundâŚ
Shiuâs nostrils flare, and heâs realizing that this wasnât just the heady scent of Tojiâs rut - it was your heat, too. That luscious creamy smell that made his mouth water, and his cock twitch in his pants as he took in the sight-
BZZZZZZZZâ!
Thank god his phone was on silent mode- Shiu hastens to pick it up before either of you can hear. Though, he doesnât think heâs very successful with it.
Because just as Shiu places the crackling phone against his ear, whispering out a quiet- âH-hello?â He sees that Tojiâs smug, handsome head turns in the direction of the barn door. And heâs smirking straight at the other man as he claims every inch inside of you, Tojiâs honed tip pinpointing into every tiny nook and cranny.Â
And if that wasnât enough, heâs leaning down to grab onto your leaky tits- and squeeeeeze out a pure white stream of your milk. Much more than Shiuâs ever been able to tease out of you during milking sessions.
He was making his mate known.
Slowly, Shiu backs out of the barn without you noticing (though, you were so deep in the waves of your carnal pleasure, that he thinks it wouldâve been impossible to get your attention anyways).
Only once heâs out of the headiness of the barn does Shiu finally manage to register the other manâs voice-
âHello? Helloooooo? Man, where are you now-â
âHey, Kusakabe.â Shiu speaks, still slightly dazed. Still slightly staring through the barn doors from afar - all because of a fucking gate. âTake the next train here from Tokyo- no, donât worry about your truck, you can pick it up later. No, you donât need the cattle trailer anymore.â
Kusakabe sputters, âHuh? But why?â At the other manâs silence, one could almost hear the moment that understanding sets in. âOh man- oh wait, donât tell me that Toji and that sweet cow hybrid of yours has-â
âYeah.â Shiu grits, and he pinches the bridge of his nose. âUnrelated, but would you happen to know any good names for calves?â

âŹŠâ¤ ę° Updates are once a week, every Sunday at 10 pm UTC +8 ⎠ONGOING ęą
Sonar had always been intenseâbut with you, it was different.
Every morning you arrived at Dispatch HQ to find something on your desk:
a perfectly folded paper crane, a bright silver charm shaped like a shield, a thermos of tea labeled âFor your throat. You talk too much mid-mission.â
It was strange, but harmless. Sonar didnât speak much, so the gifts became his language.
You always thanked him politely, even if you didnât always understand the meaning behind them.
But lately⌠heâd been acting off.
Constantly watching you on missions.
Appearing behind you without making a sound.
Stations changing so heâd be near you.
And the gifts⌠they became more personal.
A scarf in your favorite color.
A notebook with your initials carved by hand.
A hand-stitched patch with your hero symbol outlined in silver thread.
You tried to talk to himâgentlyâabout giving you space, but Sonar only smiled a little and said:
âItâs so youâll remember whoâs always looking out for you.â
His voice was soft, but something in it made you shiver.
⸝
The Unfortunate Event
The mission that day was already riskyâa raid on an underground tech lab hoarding stolen Dispatch equipment. You were leading the front team. Sonar was supposed to stay behind as comm support.
Supposed to.
Halfway through clearing the building, your earpiece filled with interference. Screeching static stabbed into your skull, making you drop to one knee.
âSonar?â you gasped. âWhat are youâ? Cut the frequency!â
But the static only grew worse. Your teammates were shouting your name, but you couldnât hear them through the piercing noise.
And then⌠silence.
The kind that felt wrong.
You forced your eyes open and saw him.
Sonar.
Standing in the shattered doorway behind you, head tilted, expression unreadable.
âWhy are you here?â you demanded, breath shaking.
He walked toward you, slow, controlled. âI told you. Iâm looking out for you.â
âYou nearly blew my eardrum out!â
âI know,â he said, strangely calm. âI had to disable the enemy comms. Their tech was interfering with yours.
But something was off.
Your team was nowhere in sight.
The room was too quiet.
And Sonar⌠wasnât meeting your eyes.
Finally, you saw it.
Behind himâyour teammates unconscious on the ground, not hurt badly, but clearly taken down.
âSonar,â you whispered, stomach dropping. âWhat did you do?â
His jaw tensed. âThey didnât listen when I said you were in danger. They kept pushing you into the fight. You donât belong on the front line.â
âSonarââ
He reached into his pocket and pulled out another gift.
A small, velvet-wrapped box.
âIt was supposed to be for after the mission,â he said, voice trembling. âSomething to keep you safe forever.â
You didnât take it.
Couldnât.
His face crackedâhurt, panic, something darker behind his eyes.
âI did all this for you,â he whispered. âWhy wonât you see that?â
ââââ-
Aftermath
Backup arrived before things escalated.
Sonar didnât resist when the others restrained himâalmost like heâd expected it.
He only looked at you the whole time, eyes wide and desperate.
âIâm not dangerous,â he said softly as they led him away. âI just needed you to understand.â
You found the little velvet box later.
Inside was a tracking pendantâdesigned with Dispatch tech, coded to your exact frequency.
Something he could have used to follow you anywhere.
You closed the box slowly, chest tight.
Sonar hadnât tried to hurt you.
But the line between devotion and obsession had snapped a long time ago⌠and you never saw it coming.
Your mission was supposed to be simple: scout the abandoned warehouse, map the entrances, and report back. No fighting, no drama, no unexpected surprises.
At least, thatâs what Dispatch said.
But the second you stepped out of HQ, you heard fast little footsteps behind you. You turned around, confusedâonly to see Beef, Robertâs giant, lovable dog, sitting proudly with his tongue out
âBeef? What are you doing?â
He looked up at you⌠then at the pocket of your tactical jacket.
Oh.
Youâd forgotten about the beef jerky.
âBeef, no. You canât come with me.â
Beef didnât care. He trotted ahead of you like he was leading the mission himself.
You sighed, following after him. âRobert is gonna kill meâŚâ
By the time you reached the warehouse, Beef was practically glued to you. Every time you took a step, he was right next to your leg, sniffing and huffing until finally you gave in and handed him a small piece of jerky.
âFine. But then weâre going back.â
Beef happily crunched it apart, tail wagging so hard his whole body wiggled. You tried again to do your job, but Beef followed so close he might as well have been your shadow.
âOkay, missionâs over. Come on, you little traitor.â
You brought him back to HQ, where Robert was pacing in the hallway with his hands in his hair.
âBeef! There you areâwait⌠why do you have him? And why does he look guilty?â
Beef walked straight to Robert and sat down, head hung like a criminal caught red-pawed.
You crossed your arms. âYour dog followed me out on a mission.â
Robert blinked. âWhy would heâ?â
Beef lifted a paw and tapped your jacket pocket.
âOh my god,â Robert muttered. âYou had jerky.â
âIt was ONE SNACK, Robert.â
Robert sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. âIâm⌠really sorry. He gets attached. Especially to people he likes.â
You raised an eyebrow. âSo your dog likes me.â
Robert cleared his throat. âUh⌠yeah. He⌠definitely does.â
Beef barked once, nudging Robertâs leg. Robert turned pink.
You smirked. âGood to know.â
Robert tried to look unbothered, but his ears betrayed himâbright red, matching the glow on his cheeks. Beef, proud of himself, trotted over to your side again like heâd solved some huge problem.
Robert groaned.
âBeef. Stop matchmaking.â
You laughed. âToo late. He already followed me on a date. Kind of.â
âThat wasnât aââ Robert froze as you walked past him. âWaitâwas it?â
âKeep wondering,â you said, giving Beef one last piece of jerky.
Beef barked again, and Robert looked like he suddenly needed a reboot.
The Dispatch floor buzzed with its usual chaos â mission reports, alerts, the hum of comms channels filling the air. You sat at your desk, headset perched just above your stomach, which was starting to make your uniform fit a little tighter than it used to. Youâd been on dispatch duty for weeks now â no field work since you told the team about the baby.
Everyone had been kind, but no one fussed quite like him.
Phenomaman.
Heâd promised to âcheck in,â but you didnât expect him to take that literally.
When the elevator doors slid open, a wave of sunlight followed him in â or maybe that was just how it felt when he smiled at you. In one hand, he carried a bag and two drinks.
âYou didnât have to come all the way here,â you said, though you were already smiling.
He set the food down on your desk like it was a priceless artifact. âYouâve been on comms for four hours straight. Thatâs practically a crisis in itself.â
You laughed, shaking your head. âYouâre ridiculous.â
âPhenomenal,â he corrected, pulling a chair over. âThereâs a difference.â
You rolled your eyes but couldnât hide your grin. He unpacked the meal â your favorite, of course. Heâd even remembered to ask for extra fruit because heâd heard that was good âfor energy.â
When he noticed the fatigue in your eyes, his expression softened. âYouâre doing so much, you know. You keep all of us alive out there. And youâre growing a whole human while you do it.â
Your throat tightened a little at that. âYou make it sound heroic.â
âIt is,â he said simply. âAnd Iâm proud of you.â
The room quieted around you, the noise of Dispatch fading to a distant hum. He reached across the table and brushed a crumb from your sleeve, his fingers lingering for just a second longer than they needed to.
âYou should eat before it gets cold,â he said, clearing his throat. âAnd⌠maybe let someone else take the next shift.â
âAre you volunteering?â you teased.
He grinned. âFor you? Always.â
You laughed, but your heart warmed at the sincerity behind his words. When he left later, promising to come back with dessert, you watched him go â cape catching the light, a little too bright for the dull room.
You pressed a hand to your stomach and whispered, âThatâs our hero â the one who takes care of us.â
And even though you were supposed to be tired, you couldnât stop smiling.
The first thing you notice isnât the sunlight â itâs the quiet. The kind of quiet that only exists after a long night of chaos. You stir slowly, wrapped in a blanket that smells faintly like ozone and coffee. The hum of the city beyond the Dispatch headquarters barely reaches this high up.
Phenomaman is already awake. Heâs sitting by the window, the early gold light tracing the edges of his cape. For once, it isnât flowing behind him or fluttering against a storm. It just rests there, folded over the back of his chair like an ordinary piece of fabric â like heâs trying to feel ordinary, too.
When he turns, his smile is small. Real. âMorning,â he says, his voice a little rough â not from shouting commands over comms, but from being quiet for too long.
You get up, padding across the floor. âYou didnât sleep much,â you murmur, glancing at the untouched coffee on the sill.
He exhales softly, the faint shimmer of his alien aura dimming. âDidnât want to miss this,â he says, nodding toward the light spilling across the city. âSometimes⌠it feels like the only time I can just be.â
You sit beside him, knees brushing. He looks at you for a moment â the worldâs strongest hero, trying to find words that make him feel human. âYou make it easier,â he admits quietly. âBeing here. Breathing.â
Your hand finds his. His fingers are warm, calloused, a little trembling. You squeeze them gently. âYou donât always have to be âPhenomenal,â you know,â you whisper. âSometimes just⌠being you is enough.â
He lets out a shaky laugh â the kind that feels like relief more than humor. âYou always say that like you mean it.â
âI do.â
For a while, neither of you speak. The sunlight crawls higher, brushing against his face. He leans back, finally closing his eyes, the corners of his mouth softening into a calm expression you wish the rest of the world could see.
When he opens them again, they meet yours. âStay a little longer?â
You smile. âAlways.â
And in that still moment â no headlines, no missions, no pressure â the hero isnât Phenomaman, and you arenât the person waiting behind the comms. Youâre just two people sharing a quiet morning, hearts steady, the world finally at peace.
đđ˛đ§đ¨đŠđŹđ˘đŹ: On a Brooklyn rooftop, you and Miles confront the growing distance between you. He still cares, but Spider-Manâs life keeps pulling him away â leaving you with the pain of loving someone who can never fully stay.
Brooklyn was quieter than usual. No honking, no shouting from open windows â just the low hum of the streetlights and the wind pushing empty soda cans across the pavement.
You sat on the rooftop edge, legs dangling into the void. The city looked so small from here, like you could fold it up and tuck it into your pocket.
Miles landed behind you without a sound, but you felt the rooftop shift under his weight. His mask was off, his curls messy from the wind, his eyes shadowed with something heavier than exhaustion.
âYou werenât supposed to see me like this,â you murmured.
âLike what?â His voice was soft, careful, like he was afraid you might shatter if he spoke too loud.
âLike Iâm falling apart.â
He stepped closer, the gravel crunching under his sneakers. âYou think I donât notice? Youâve been slipping away, little by little. Not answering texts. Skipping school. You donât laugh the same.â
You swallowed hard, keeping your eyes on the distant skyline. âAnd youâve been gone. Swinging through the city, saving everyone else. What happens when Iâm the one who needs saving?â
That hit him. You saw it in the way his jaw clenched. âI canât be everywhere at once,â he said quietly, almost pleading. âBut Iâm here now.â
âNow isnât enough, Miles.â
He sank down beside you, his knee brushing yours. His hand hovered near yours, trembling slightly before he finally took it. His palm was warm, steady â a cruel contrast to the cold ache settling in your chest.
âIâd give up the suit for you,â he whispered.
You shook your head. âNo, you wouldnât. And you shouldnât. The city needs you.â You forced a small, broken smile. âI just wish I could keep a piece of you for myself.â
He didnât reply, just rested his forehead against yours, eyes shut tight like he could memorize the feeling of you in this moment.
The wind picked up, carrying the faint sounds of sirens in the distance. You both knew heâd have to go soon. You both knew you couldnât stop him.
When he finally stood, he hesitated, looking back at you as if trying to commit you to memory.
âDonât disappear on me,â he said.
You smiled through the ache in your throat. âOnly if you promise not to disappear on me first.â
He didnât answer. He just pulled the mask back over his face, turned, and vanished into the night â leaving you with the city lights and the sound of your heart breaking.
