until your best friend starts flirting with the new girl at work... who just so happens to be your longtime internet crush. suddenly, the bro code needs a patch update.
Ludwig had been talking to you for three years.
Three years of late-night MSN conversations that somehow stretched until sunrise. Three years of exchanging badly compressed anime screenshots, arguing over which opening song deserved to be skipped, and pretending neither of you stayed online longer than necessary just because the other hadn't signed off yet.
He knew your favorite anime changed every other month.
Knew you always cried over side characters more than the protagonists.
Knew you had a habit of calling every fictional man with silver hair "husband" before inevitably moving on to the next one.
Sometimes, when he watched whatever series you had recently recommended, he'd catch himself looking at a character and thinking...
You'd definitely like this one.
Then, after a pause—
...Actually, you'd probably marry him.
It had become second nature.
Every anime he watched somehow circled back to you.
Every manga recommendation started with, "She'd probably enjoy this."
His friends thought he was obsessed with anime.
He wasn't.
He was obsessed with talking about anime...
...with you.
Then one Friday night, Lane called.
Or rather—Lane never really called.
He simply inserted himself into Ludwig’s afternoons the same way he inserted himself into everything else: loudly, uninvited, and with absolutely no regard for whether Ludwig had planned on spending the day in peace.
The familiar ringtone barely had time to finish before Ludwig answered and was greeted by the sound of a PlayStation menu clicking in the background.
“You hopping on?”
Ludwig leaned back in his chair, one hand lazily scrolling through his game library. “I’m already online.”
“Good.”
For a few moments there was nothing except the soft hum of their consoles and the occasional click of buttons as they searched for a map. Ludwig was halfway through choosing a loadout when Lane spoke again, his voice carrying that unmistakable I’m about to say something stupid energy.
“Dude.”
Ludwig sighed. “What.”
“We got a new girl at work.”
He answered with an absentminded hum, eyes still fixed on the screen. New coworkers came and went all the time at Mad Dogs Convenience Store. Lane complained about half of them and flirted with the other half.
“Cool.”
“Nah, like…” Lane let out a laugh under his breath. “She’s actually kinda cute.”
“Congratulations.”
“And funny.”
“Mhm.”
“And she keeps threatening to throw expired sandwiches at me whenever I steal a Red Bull from the cooler.”
That finally earned a snort from Ludwig. “Maybe because you’re annoying.”
“I am annoying,” Lane admitted cheerfully. Another laugh crackled through the headset. “But she laughs after every insult, so I think I’m making progress.”
Ludwig shook his head, amused despite himself. “Sounds like she’s already enabling you.”
“I know, right? Jackpot.”
Ludwig didn’t think much of it. Lane developed a new crush every other week, usually on someone who had shown him the bare minimum amount of attention. A sarcastic coworker who tolerated his flirting hardly seemed noteworthy.
A soft notification interrupted the game lobby. The small MSN Messenger window blinked insistently in the corner of his screen.
you: first day wasn’t so bad
Without realizing it, Ludwig’s expression softened. He minimized the game for a moment and typed back.
ludwig: see? told you.
The typing indicator appeared almost immediately.
you: one of my coworkers is insufferable though.
A quiet laugh escaped him as he rested his chin against his hand.
ludwig: already?
you:imagine someone drinking red bull straight from the cooler without paying first
Ludwig frowned at the screen.
ludwig: …isn’t that stealing?
you: apparently he “pays before his shift ends” 😭
Before Ludwig could reply, another message popped up.
you: he called me “baby” today.
The laugh burst out of him before he could stop it—loud enough that Lane immediately noticed through the headset.
“What?”
Ludwig straightened in his chair, still grinning at the screen. “Nothing.”
“What’re you laughing at?”
“Just a meme.”
Lane accepted the answer with surprising ease, already distracted by the match countdown. Ludwig accepted your explanation just as easily, amused by the image of some obnoxiously flirtatious coworker making your life difficult.
Neither of them realized they were talking about the same person.
Over the next few days, the clues kept appearing—small, harmless things that should have connected together but never quite did.
Lane complained constantly while they played. According to him, the new girl kept calling him lazy because he spent half his shift hiding in the stockroom with his phone, emerging only to steal another drink and flash that stupid grin of his.
Later that same night, Ludwig would receive a message from you complaining that your coworker was “the laziest employee on the planet” and that you were starting to think the stockroom was his natural habitat.
Another evening, Lane mentioned that she liked anime and had a keychain hanging from her bag that he didn’t recognize.
A few hours later, you excitedly told Ludwig that one of your coworkers had noticed your anime keychain and spent five whole minutes trying—and failing—to pronounce the character’s name correctly.
Then came the broom incident. Lane sounded far too pleased with himself as he recounted how she had threatened to beat him with it for stacking boxes in the wrong place. Not long afterward, Ludwig received a dramatically typed message from you insisting that you had “almost committed a workplace crime with a broom.”
Each conversation mirrored the other so perfectly that, in hindsight, the answer seemed painfully obvious.
But Ludwig never saw it.
To him, they were simply two separate parts of his life:
Lane, his loudmouthed best friend who flirted with anything capable of rolling its eyes at him.
And you, the girl on the other side of a computer screen who stayed up until three in the morning arguing with him about anime openings.
The idea that those two worlds could possibly overlap never crossed his mind.
───
Lane's day off came a week later, which somehow meant Ludwig had ended up sprawled across the worn couch in his apartment with a controller in hand. The place looked exactly as he'd remembered—too small to be this messy, yet somehow perpetually cluttered. Empty instant noodle cups crowded the coffee table beside stacks of game cases, a hoodie had been abandoned over the dining chair days ago, and the old electric fan rattling away in the kitchenette sounded like it was moments away from giving up entirely.
The match had barely started before Lane, unsurprisingly, circled back to the same subject.
"So..." he began, entirely too casual. "The new girl's threatening to beat me with a broom again."
Ludwig let out a sigh through his nose, eyes never leaving the television. "What did you do this time?"
"I hid the barcode scanner."
"...You deserved it."
"I know." Lane laughed to himself, completely unashamed. "She gets this little wrinkle between her eyebrows whenever she's annoyed. It's kinda cute."
Ludwig snorted.
"There it is."
"What?"
"The part where you pretend you don't have a crush."
"I don't."
"You've moaned about her every single day this week."
"I'm making observations."
"You've made enough observations to write a biography."
Lane scoffed, leaning farther back into the couch. "Whatever. She's just funny."
"Mhm."
"And she brought this dumb anime keychain to work today."
That caught Ludwig's attention.
He glanced over, only briefly.
"...Anime?"
"Yeah." Lane shrugged. "Didn't expect it either."
"Huh."
"Started rambling about some silver-haired guy. I had no clue what she was talking about, so I just nodded." He laughed. "She looked really happy, though."
Something tugged at the back of Ludwig's mind.
You'd done that before.
Many times.
The moment anime came up, you'd completely forget yourself. Messages that started as two lines somehow became paragraphs. He'd grown used to opening MSN only to find walls of text about whichever silver-haired idiot had stolen your heart that week.
Coincidence.
Plenty of people liked anime.
Lane continued, oblivious.
"She always has headphones on during break."
Another coincidence.
"Says she stays up until morning watching shows."
Lots of people stayed up all night... right?
"And apparently strawberry Pocky's her favorite."
Ludwig's thumb stopped moving.
"...Really?"
"Yeah."
"...Huh." He stared back at the screen, but he wasn't seeing it anymore.
Anime.
Headphones.
Sleeps at dawn.
Strawberry Pocky.
None of those things meant anything on their own.
Together...
No.
There had to be thousands of girls like that.
"...She's weird," Lane said with an amused grin.
"You seem to like weird now."
"I do."
A laugh escaped Ludwig before he could stop it.
"...Maybe we've just got the same taste."
Lane barked out a laugh loud enough to echo around the apartment.
"You?"
"What?"
"You mean besides anime girls?"
"I'm serious."
He hesitated for only a second before adding, almost absentmindedly,
"...Can I actually see this girl you've been yapping about?"
Lane rolled his eyes dramatically.
"I have not been yapping."
"You absolutely have."
"I've been appreciating."
"You've been insufferable."
"Oh, shut up."
Still grumbling, Lane fished his phone out of his pocket and began scrolling. Most of the pictures were useless—accidental shots of the floor, crooked shelves, a blurry parking lot taken through the store window.
Then he stopped.
"There."
He shoved the phone toward Ludwig.
"She's cute, right?" A grin spread across his face. "Looks like one of those girls you'd jerk off to."
Ludwig looked up with a look of disgust.
"...What the hell does that even mean?"
"You know." Lane waved his free hand dismissively. "Anime stuff."
Rolling his eyes, Ludwig took the phone anyway.
He was already smiling before he looked.
The smile disappeared almost instantly.
The picture was terrible—grainy, washed out, the kind only a cheap phone could manage—but none of that mattered.
You stood beside Lane in Mad Dogs uniform, one hand reaching toward a shelf while the other absentmindedly fiddled with the tiny anime keychain clipped to your belt loop.
The same keychain.
The same hoodie over the work vest.
The same face he'd spent three years watching through grainy webcam calls and compressed profile pictures.
His stomach dropped.
...No.
Without realizing it, he pressed the zoom button. The image dissolved into even bigger pixels.
It changed nothing.
It was still you.
A cold weight settled somewhere deep in his chest.
Fuck.
His thoughts began unraveling all at once.
Three years of late-night conversations.
Three years of swapping anime recommendations.
Three years of typing out confessions only to erase them before hitting send.
And all this time...
Every story Lane had told.
Every complaint.
Every laugh.
Every "the new girl did this today."
He hadn't been talking about some stranger. He'd been talking about you. How...?
No.
A better question surfaced.
How the hell did I not realize?
"She almost hit me with a broom."
"My coworker almost got written up for hiding the scanner."
"She likes anime."
"My coworker noticed my keychain."
"She keeps calling me lazy."
"He's the laziest person I've ever met."
The conversations overlapped so perfectly they made him feel sick.
...I'm an idiot.
"Lud?"
Lane's voice sounded distant, muffled beneath the rushing in Ludwig's ears.
"...Dude?"
A hand nudged his shoulder.
"You got a boner or something?" Lane laughed. "Your face just went pale."
Silence.
The joke lingered unanswered.
Slowly, Lane's grin faded into something closer to concern.
"...Do you know her?"
That finally pulled Ludwig back.
He blinked once, then twice, struggling to pull himself together before Lane could notice just how violently his thoughts had begun to spiral.
"N-No."
The answer came out too quickly.
Lane tilted his head.
"...No?"
"I mean..." Ludwig forced an awkward laugh, rubbing the back of his neck before handing the phone back. "Thought she was someone I knew."
"You sure?"
"...Yeah."
The lie tasted bitter.
"Just looked similar."
Lane studied him for another second before eventually shrugging, pocketing his phone without another question. Thankfully.
The game resumed.
Lane went right back to complaining whenever Ludwig stole a kill, as though nothing had happened.
Ludwig answered when he had to, laughed where he was expected to, but the match blurred into meaningless flashes of color.
His heart had already made up its mind.
His head refused to believe it.
No. Don't be stupid.
One blurry photo wasn't enough.
He needed proof.
Real proof.
Tomorrow, he'd ask you how work was.
If you told him about the lazy coworker who drank Red Bull straight from the cooler and called everyone baby...
Then he'd know.
And for the first time in three years, Ludwig wasn't sure which answer he wanted more.
Sleep refused to come.
Ludwig had long since given up pretending otherwise. He lay sprawled across his narrow bed, one arm tucked beneath his head while the other rested lazily over his stomach, his eyes tracing the familiar cracks that ran across the ceiling. The room was quiet save for the low hum of his computer and the occasional buzz of the old electric fan struggling against the summer heat. Pale blue light from the monitor spilled across the walls, bathing the room in that lonely sort of glow only midnight seemed capable of creating.
His MSN Messenger sat open.
One tiny green icon blinked patiently from his contact list.
You were online.
Normally, he would've clicked your name without thinking. A simple hey would've been enough to start another conversation that would somehow stretch until three in the morning. It always did. One anime recommendation turned into another, then somehow into childhood stories, terrible jokes, complaints about school, plans neither of you were brave enough to follow through with.
Tonight...
His cursor hovered over your name.
Then drifted away.
Three years.
Three years of conversations that outlasted the sunrise. Three years of birthdays celebrated through emoticons and poorly compressed webcam calls. Three years of watching your display name change every other week because you'd inevitably discovered another anime character to obsess over.
Somewhere along the way, Ludwig had convinced himself there would always be more time.
More time to finally meet you.
More time to stop hiding behind a computer screen.
More time to tell you that somewhere between discussing filler episodes and arguing over which opening song was objectively better, he'd fallen hopelessly in love with you.
He just...
Never imagined someone else would get there first.
A dry laugh escaped him before he could stop it.
Of all people...
Of course it'd be Lane.
It couldn't have been anyone else.
Lane flirted with waitresses just to see them laugh. Somehow managed to flirt with complete strangers while waiting in line at convenience stores. He walked into every room like he'd lived there his whole life, effortlessly collecting smiles and phone numbers without ever seeming to realize he was doing it.
People liked Lane.
It was almost unfair how easy it came to him.
Ludwig had never envied that.
Not until now.
He let out a slow breath and rubbed both hands over his face until his glasses dug uncomfortably against his nose.
"Bros before hoes."
God.
He hated that phrase.
It sounded ridiculous now that he actually thought about it.
It was the sort of thing teenage boys yelled before immediately abandoning the rule the moment a pretty girl smiled at them.
But...
What happened when the girl wasn't just some girl?
What happened when she'd quietly become the center of your life without even realizing it?
And what happened when your best friend had absolutely no idea?
Lane wasn't trying to steal anything.
He didn't know.
Hell, if the roles were reversed, Ludwig doubted Lane would've noticed either.
The thought only made his chest feel heavier.
His gaze drifted back toward the monitor.
Your green status light still blinked patiently.
Waiting.
If he told Lane... There wasn't a doubt in his mind what would happen.
Lane would back off.
Immediately.
No questions asked.
The certainty of it should've been comforting.
Instead, it made guilt settle somewhere deep inside his stomach.
Because Lane deserved to be happy too. He hadn't done anything wrong. He hadn't stolen you. He'd simply met you...
No.
Ludwig frowned.
Not met.
He'd met you years ago.
Lane had simply been lucky enough to meet you in person first.
He buried his face in his pillow with a groan.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
Life would've been a whole lot easier if there'd been an actual handbook for moments like this.
Some stupid chapter tucked between "Don't date your best friend's crush" and "Never leave your homie behind."
Instead...
There was nothing.
No rule.
No advice.
No patch notes.
Just Ludwig lying awake at nearly three in the morning, wondering whether three years of quietly loving someone counted for anything at all.
───
The following days passed with an almost painful sense of normalcy.
Every night, your name lit up on his screen without fail.
Every night, the two of you slipped effortlessly back into conversation, as though nothing had changed.
You complained about work. About customers who couldn't read the giant CLOSED sign hanging on the door. About counting cigarettes. About your coworker who kept helping himself to a can of Red Bull before paying for it at the end of his shift.
"He keeps calling me 'baby,' Ludwig."
"Today he tried convincing me that sleeping in the stockroom counted as working."
"I almost beat him with a broom."
Ludwig laughed.
He always laughed.
You sounded genuinely exasperated whenever you talked about Lane. But beneath every complaint... There was amusement.
A fondness you probably hadn't noticed creeping into your own words yet. And somehow... That hurt the most.
Not because you loved him.
You didn't.
At least, Ludwig didn't think you did.
You just...
Enjoyed being around him.
His stomach tightened.
Because if Lane ever stopped dancing around it...
If he ever looked at you with that crooked grin of his and simply asked..... You'd probably say yes.
The thought arrived quietly, yet it lodged itself somewhere beneath his ribs like a splinter he couldn't pull free.
I mean...
Look at him.
Lane was handsome.
Annoyingly so.
The sort of handsome that didn't seem to require any effort, paired with an easy smile and the kind of confidence Ludwig had never managed to understand. He flirted because it amused him. Made entire rooms laugh without trying. People naturally gravitated toward him, as though conversation simply flowed easier in his presence.
Ludwig had watched it happen for years.
He'd never compared himself before.
Now...
He couldn't stop.
If Lane asked...
You'd probably say yes.
Why wouldn't you?
Ludwig wasn't entirely convinced he wouldn't say yes if Lane asked him out.
"...No homo," he muttered into the empty room.
The words hung there for exactly one second before he groaned, grabbed the nearest pillow, and buried his burning face into it.
He was losing his mind.
───
For nearly a week, Ludwig convinced himself he simply hadn't found the right time.
Lane called once on Monday while he was halfway through replying to one of your messages. Ludwig watched the screen light up, thumb hovering over the answer button before he let it ring until the familiar beep of voicemail finally cut through the silence.
"Sorry, man. Was asleep."
It was barely noon.
On Tuesday, he claimed he had a migraine. Wednesday became maybe tomorrow, Thursday somehow turned into I forgot to charge my phone, and by Friday he'd stopped bothering to come up with believable excuses altogether.
The guilt was exhausting.
Every conversation with you made it worse.
You still complained about the coworker who shamelessly drank Red Bull before paying for it. Still rolled your eyes whenever he called you baby just to watch you threaten him with the nearest broom. You laughed while telling the stories, and Ludwig laughed with you because that was what he always did.
Then, as soon as he logged off, he'd stare at Lane's unanswered messages and feel like the world's biggest asshole.
He couldn't keep talking to both of you as though nothing had changed.
Not anymore.
The knock came just after midnight.
Three sharp raps against the apartment door.
Ludwig frowned.
Nobody visited him this late.
Another knock followed, louder this time, before his phone vibrated across the desk.
Lane Calling.
"...Hello?"
"Dude."
Lane sounded less angry than he did deeply inconvenienced.
"I've officially had enough."
Ludwig blinked.
"...Enough of what?"
"You."
A beat.
"I've been calling you for a week. I've been texting."
Silence.
"I even sent you a picture of a pigeon that looked exactly like you."
"...I saw the pigeon."
"And you still ignored me."
Ludwig sighed, rubbing tiredly at his eyes.
"...Sorry."
"Nope."
"..."
"I'm outside."
His brows knitted together.
"...Outside where?"
"Your apartment."
"..."
"I can literally see your bedroom light."
Ludwig turned toward the window almost against his own will.
Sure enough, parked beneath the flickering streetlamp was Lane's battered Honda, engine still idling. Even from the second floor, Ludwig could make out Lane leaning against the driver's door with his phone pressed to one ear.
"...Open the damn door. Stop acting like a chick."
The call ended before Ludwig had a chance to answer.
───
Five minutes later, Lane wandered into the apartment like he'd been invited all along.
His gaze swept lazily across the room—the stack of instant noodle cups balanced precariously on the desk, clothes draped over the computer chair, game cases scattered across the floor—before settling on Ludwig.
"...Jesus."
Ludwig looked up from where he'd been pretending to organize his desk.
"What?"
"You look like shit."
"...Thanks."
"No, seriously."
Lane shut the door behind him with his foot, concern slowly replacing the usual grin tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"You sick or something?"
Ludwig shrugged.
"Tired."
"You've looked tired for a week."
"..."
"You've been dodging me."
Another shrug.
Lane let out a quiet sigh before dropping onto the couch, elbows resting on his knees. For once, he wasn't talking. He simply watched Ludwig, waiting.
The silence stretched long enough to become uncomfortable.
Outside, rain began tapping softly against the windows .The old electric fan hummed in the corner. Somewhere upstairs, a television laughed through paper-thin apartment walls.
"...Did I do something?"
The question was so quiet Ludwig almost missed it.
He looked over.
Lane wasn't joking anymore.
His shoulders had slumped forward, hands hanging loosely between his knees, his usual easygoing smile nowhere to be found.
"...No."
"No?"
"You didn't."
"Then what is it?"
Ludwig opened his mouth.
Nothing came out.
How was he even supposed to explain this?
"Hey, remember that girl you've been talking about every single day? Turns out she's the one I've quietly loved for three years."
It sounded ridiculous.
Childish.
Embarrassing.
He laughed once under his breath, though there wasn't anything funny about it.
Lane waited.
Patiently.
He always waited.
"...Lud."
His voice unusually calm.
"You know you can tell me anything, just spill it out."
That was the problem.
He could.
Which meant the only thing standing in his way was himself.
Ludwig scrubbed both hands down his face and drew in one long, shaky breath. The words had spent an entire week clawing at the back of his throat.
Now that they were finally free, they came crashing out all at once.
For a long moment, the only thing filling the apartment was the uneven rattle of the old electric fan in the kitchenette. It whirred loudly enough to drown out the rain tapping against the window, its blades sounding as though they might finally give up after years of faithful service. Ludwig became painfully aware of every little noise in the room—the hum of his computer left running in the bedroom, the muffled laughter from a television somewhere upstairs, the way his own heartbeat seemed to pound against his ribs.
"The fuck?...I understood maybe six words in that sentence."
Heat rushed to Ludwig's face.
Of course he hadn't.
He'd spent the last week rehearsing this conversation in his head, only to throw every coherent thought out the window the second it mattered. He squeezed his eyes shut for a brief moment, dragging a tired hand over his face as though he could physically wipe away the embarrassment.
"...Can you... maybe say that again?"
A humorless laugh escaped him.
"...Yeah."
The words didn't come nearly as easily the second time. They sat stubbornly in his throat, refusing to move until he forced them out one by one.
"...I've been in love with your coworker." He swallowed. "...For three years."
Silence settled between them once more. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence. If anything, it was almost thoughtful.
Lane didn't interrupt. Didn't laugh. Didn't immediately ask questions. He simply sat there, elbows resting on his knees, quietly piecing together the confession he'd only half understood moments ago.
Ludwig, on the other hand, was seconds away from crawling into the nearest hole.
"...The girl from Mad Dogs," he continued, unable to stop himself now that the words had finally started coming. "She's... she's the one I've always told you about."
The girl.
The one whose name had come up so often over the years that Lane probably knew more about her than some of Ludwig's actual relatives. The one Ludwig somehow managed to bring into every conversation, whether it was to complain about a terrible internet connection during one of your movie nights or laugh about another anime recommendation you'd forced him to watch.
Only now... She wasn't just the girl online. She was standing behind the register at Mad Dogs. Smiling at Lane. Threatening to hit him with a broom. Calling him an idiot.
Ludwig let out a slow breath. "...I didn't know." His voice was barely audible. "I swear I didn't know it was her."
He finally looked up.
There it was.
The moment he'd spent an entire week dreading. Maybe Lane would get mad. Maybe he'd ask why Ludwig hadn't told him sooner. Maybe, for the first time in years, they'd actually fight.
Instead...
Lane leaned back against the couch, rubbing absentmindedly at his chin as if he'd just been handed a particularly difficult math problem.
"...Huh."
Ludwig frowned.
"...Huh?"
Another few seconds passed before Lane gave a small nod to himself, like he'd finally reached the end of whatever conclusion he'd been working through.
"...Cool."
...
Ludwig blinked.
"...Cool?"
"Yeah."
"...That's..." He searched Lane's face for... something. Disappointment. Frustration. Anything.
"...That's your response?"
Lane looked just as confused.
"...Should it not be?"
"I-I don't know."
A nervous laugh escaped Ludwig before he could stop it.
"I just told you we like the same girl."
"...Yeah."
They both just stopped for second. Finding the right words. beating around the bush. Being a man.
"So?"
Ludwig stared at him. "...So?"
"Dude." Lane looked genuinely puzzled now, his brows knitting together.
"You've liked her since, what... high school? college?"
"...Yeah."
"I've known her for a month."
"..."
"I think you've got me beat." Lane put his hands in the air.
Ludwig let out another incredulous laugh.
"...Lane."
"What?"
"...That's not how it works"
Lane shrugged before he pointed helplessly toward him, wanting to say something. Lane rolled his eyes with an exaggerated sigh before reaching over and giving Ludwig's knee a light shove.
"I'm not saying she's yours." The teasing tone slipped away, replaced by something quieter. "I'm saying... you've loved her for three years."
The apartment fell quiet again.
"I didn't." Lane corrected himself with a small shake of his head. "I don't love her." His gaze drifted toward the rain-streaked window.
A tiny smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, almost sheepish. "I think she's funny."
Another pause.
"I think she's cute and funny" His shoulders lifted in a careless shrug. He didn't even look at his friend who's dying in front of him. "But that's about as far as it goes."
Ludwig remained silent.
"If I'd known she was the girl you've been talking about all this time..."
Lane scratched the back of his neck. "...I would've stopped."
It was that simple.
No hesitation.
No resentment.
Just a statement.
Like there'd never been another option.
Lane looked back at him and grinned.
"Bros before hoes."
For a second.. .Ludwig simply stared. The phrase was so unbelievably stupid. So perfectly Lane. That a laugh slipped out before he had any chance of stopping it.
It started quietly.
One breath.
Then another.
Until suddenly he was bent over in his chair, laughing hard enough that his eyes watered.
Lane frowned.
"...What?"
"You..."
Ludwig wiped quickly beneath one eye.
"...You're actually an idiot."
"Takes one to know one."
"I spent an entire week convincing myself we were going to ruin our friendship."
"...Over a girl?" Lane sounded genuinely offended. "Dude." He leaned back into the couch, crossing his arms. "I'm not losing my best friend over some pussy."
The bluntness of it made Ludwig bark out another laugh.
"...Apparently I was."
"Yeah." Lane pointed at him immediately. "That's because you're dramatic."
Relief swept through Ludwig so suddenly it almost made him dizzy. All week he'd been mourning a friendship that hadn't even been in danger.
Without really thinking about it, he stepped forward and wrapped both arms around Lane. "...Bro."
Lane went rigid.
"I could literally kiss you right now."
A beat passed.
"...No homo."
"Eugh." Lane shoved him away with visible disgust, wiping dramatically at his shoulder like Ludwig had infected him with something.
"Save that for her."
Ludwig stumbled back, still laughing.
"...Fair."
"...Actually," Lane added, pointing a finger at him as though correcting himself was of the utmost importance. "That's gay. You almost had a heartfelt moment."
"I know."
Lane smirked.
"I got scared."
---
Ludwig didn't tell you he was coming.
He almost texted.
His fingers had hovered over the keyboard for a good five minutes, typing and deleting the same message until it no longer resembled English.
"Hey, I'm thinking of stopping by your work."
Delete.
"You busy tonight?"
Delete.
"Can I see you?"
Delete.
In the end, he closed the chat window entirely.
If he gave himself another excuse to overthink it, he'd spend another three years hiding behind a screen.
So he went.
The bell above the automatic doors chimed softly as he stepped inside Mad Dogs, the familiar scent of coffee, instant noodles, and reheated fried food greeting him almost immediately. It was well past midnight, and the store sat in that strange kind of silence only convenience stores seemed to know. Fluorescent lights buzzed faintly overhead, the refrigerators hummed along the back wall, and somewhere near the magazine rack an old radio played a song so quietly it was little more than background noise.
It wasn't busy.
Just one customer lingering by the drinks aisle and an elderly man reading the newspaper near the window.
Ludwig lingered by the entrance for a moment, suddenly wondering if this had been a terrible idea after all.
What if you were busy?
What if you'd rather he'd told you first?
What if—
"You've been staring at the chips for, like... a full minute."
His head snapped toward the counter.
Lane stood there with one elbow propped lazily against the register, already wearing that familiar grin.
"You planning to rob the place or marry her?"
Ludwig rolled his eyes, feeling some of the tension leave his shoulders. "...Shut up."
"I knew you'd chicken out eventually." Lane rounded the counter, nudging him lightly with an elbow. "C'mon."
He jerked his head toward the back of the store.
"She's stocking drinks."
Ludwig swallowed.
"...Right now?"
"When else?"
"..."
Lane snorted.
"Dude. You survived confessing to me. I'm starting to think that was easier."
"It definitely was."
Lane laughed, giving him one last shove toward the refrigerated section before wandering back to the register as though this entire encounter hadn't just determined the course of Ludwig's life.
Ludwig hated how sweaty his palms suddenly felt.
The closer he walked, the louder his heartbeat became.
You were crouched in front of the refrigerator, quietly arranging bottled tea into neat rows. Your headphones rested around your neck instead of over your ears, humming softly with music Ludwig couldn't quite make out.
You looked...
Exactly the way he'd imagined.
And somehow...
Nothing like he'd imagined at all.
Three years of blurry webcam calls and compressed profile pictures had never quite prepared him for the way the fluorescent lights caught against your face, or the absentminded way you tucked loose strands of hair behind your ear whenever they slipped free.
For a moment, he simply stood there.
Watching.
Then, almost as though you'd felt his eyes on you, you glanced over your shoulder.
Recognition came instantly.
Your eyes widened.
For a heartbeat, neither of you moved.
"...Ludwig?"
His name left your lips in a mixture of surprise and disbelief, carrying farther through the quiet store than either of you expected.
The bottle in your hand never even made it onto the shelf.
You abandoned it entirely.
"Ludwig!"
Before he could even manage a greeting, you were already crossing the aisle, weaving around a cardboard display of instant noodles before throwing your arms around him with enough force to make him stumble backward a step.
The shopping basket he'd picked up out of sheer nervousness slipped from his fingers with a loud clatter.
He barely noticed.
"...Hey."
It was all he could manage.
You pulled back just enough to look at him, your hands still resting around his arms as though letting go hadn't crossed your mind yet.
"You actually came."
Your smile was impossibly bright.
"I thought I'd have to wait another three years."
Ludwig laughed, though it came out embarrassingly breathless.
"...Yeah."
"I almost started thinking you weren't real."
"I wasn't sure either."
You swatted his shoulder.
"Idiot."
"I know."
"...You should've told me."
"I know."
"I would've cleaned my room."
That earned him a laugh—warm, familiar, exactly the same one he'd heard through cheap computer speakers for years.
Only now...
It wasn't distorted by a microphone.
It was real.
───
From behind the register, Lane watched the entire exchange unfold in comfortable silence.
He'd expected you to smile.
Maybe wave.
Instead...
You ran.
Not because you were trying to impress anyone.
Not because you'd been caught off guard.
It had simply been instinct.
The kind of instinct people didn't think about.
Lane leaned lightly against the counter, folding his arms as he watched Ludwig stand there looking like someone whose brain had completely shut down.
"...Damn."
A quiet laugh escaped him beneath his breath.
So...
That was the face.
Not the polite smile you gave customers.
Not the amused grin you wore whenever Lane inevitably did something stupid.
This one was different.
Brighter.
Softer.
Almost relieved.
It wasn't difficult to figure out why Ludwig had spent three years talking about you.
Nor was it difficult to understand why you'd waited three years for him to finally walk through those automatic doors.
A tiny ache settled somewhere in Lane's chest.
Not enough to break him.
Just enough to make him smile to himself.
"...Figures."
He liked you.
He really did.
But some feelings arrived quietly. And just as quietly... They knew when to leave.
Without saying a word, Lane pushed himself away from the counter and stretched lazily.
"I'm gonna check the stockroom," he called casually, already turning the corner before either of you had a chance to answer.
Neither of you noticed.
Lane smiled to himself.
Good.
───
Lane ended up clocking out a little earlier than usual.
He didn't announce it with some grand speech or an exaggerated "I'm leaving you two alone." That would've been unlike him. Instead, he disappeared into the stockroom for a few minutes before reappearing with his backpack slung lazily over one shoulder, keys twirling around his index finger.
"You heading home?" he asked, looking between the two of you.
You nodded. "Yeah. Shift's finally over."
Lane hummed, tossing his keys into the air only to catch them again. His eyes drifted toward Ludwig for the briefest moment before the corner of his mouth lifted into that familiar, lopsided grin.
"Good."
Without another word, he reached into his pocket and fished out the spare apartment key Ludwig had forgotten to take back a week ago. The metal jingled through the air before Ludwig caught it clumsily against his chest.
"...Oh."
"I was wondering where that went," Ludwig muttered.
"I know."
Lane stretched, letting out a tired yawn as he started walking backward toward the door.
"I'm gonna head out."
"So early?" you asked.
"My shift's over."
"You usually stay another hour just to mooch snacks."
"I suddenly remembered I have a life."
Ludwig snorted.
"...Liar."
"I know."
Lane flashed another grin before pointing lazily between the two of you.
"You got this."
Ludwig blinked.
"...Got what?"
Lane only rolled his eyes.
"I'm not spelling it out for you."
He pushed the glass door open with his shoulder before glancing back one last time.
The bell above the door chimed softly .Then he was gone. The silence he left behind felt strangely comfortable.
You laughed quietly, shaking your head. "...He's ridiculous."
"He really is."
For a moment, neither of you moved.
"My shift is almost done in a minute."
You nudged Ludwig lightly with your elbow.
"And I came all the way here. It'd be rude if I didn't at least ask to walk you home."
───
The streets were quieter than Ludwig expected.
Most of the city had long since fallen asleep, leaving only the occasional passing car and the distant hum of traffic somewhere beyond the apartment blocks. Streetlights painted long pools of amber across the pavement, stretching your shadows beside one another as you walked.
Conversation came easily.
Easier than Ludwig had expected.
You talked about work.
About the old woman who insisted on buying the exact same lottery ticket every Friday.
About Lane somehow convincing a customer that expired cup noodles were "vintage."
"You know he actually called instant ramen a collector's item?"
Ludwig laughed.
"...That sounds like him."
"I almost believed him."
"I would've."
"I know."
You smiled.
"So would he."
The conversation drifted from work to anime, then to old memories neither of you had thought about in years. Somewhere along the way, Ludwig realized something that made his chest ache in the gentlest way possible.
Nothing had changed.
You still laughed at the same jokes.
Still got carried away whenever you talked about a series you liked.
Still waved your hands around whenever you were trying to explain something.
It felt...
Comfortably familiar.
Like you'd skipped straight over the awkward stage everyone warned him about.
Three years melted away as though they'd never been separated by computer screens at all.
Before either of you noticed, your apartment building had come into view.
"...Well."
You stopped near the entrance, shifting your bag higher onto your shoulder.
"I guess this is me."
"...Yeah."
Ludwig shoved both hands into the pockets of his hoodie.
"...Guess so."
A small silence settled between you.
Not uncomfortable.
Just...
Full.
"So..."
You smiled.
"...Thanks for walking me."
"Anytime."
You lingered for another second before turning toward the entrance. One step. Then another. Ludwig watched you go. This was it. You were about to disappear behind those doors.
You'd tell him goodnight online later. He'd convince himself there was always tomorrow. Tomorrow would become another year. Then another. Three years had already disappeared that way. He wasn't sure he could survive another three.
"...Hey." The word escaped before he'd fully decided to say it.
You stopped. Turning back, you tilted your head ever so slightly. "...Yeah?"
His heart hammered painfully against his ribs.
The speech he'd spent years imagining vanished completely.
"...Would you..."
No.
Not like that.
He cleared his throat.
"...Do you maybe..."
God. He was really doing this?
You waited.
Patiently.
The same way you always had.
Ludwig laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.
"...I had something way cooler planned in my head."
That earned a quiet giggle.
"I figured."
"...Yeah."
He looked down at the pavement before forcing himself to meet your eyes again.
"...Would you wanna..."
His voice almost caught.
"...Go out with me sometime? Like.... for a date."
Silence.
Ludwig's stomach dropped so fast he thought he might actually throw up.
Too awkward.
Too late.
You hesitated because you were trying to figure out how to reject him nicely—
Instead...
You smiled.
Not the amused smile you'd worn all evening. Not the polite one reserved for customers.
Something softer.
Warmer. Almost impossibly fond.
Rather than answering, you walked back toward him.
One step.
Then another.
Until you were standing close enough that he had to lower his gaze just to meet yours.
"...Dummy."
He blinked.
"...What?"
"I've been waiting."
Your fingers found the collar of his hoodie, gently tugging him downward until your faces were only inches apart.
"...Waiting for you to ask me that."
Before Ludwig's brain had any chance of catching up, you leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss against his cheek.
Soft.
Warm.
Gone almost as quickly as it came.
His entire body froze.
"...Good night, Ludwig."
You smiled one last time before slipping through the apartment doors. The lock clicked softly behind you.
Silence returned to the empty street.
Ludwig remained exactly where he'd been left, staring blankly at the closed entrance.
His hand drifted slowly to his cheek.
It was still warm.
He touched it like he needed proof it had actually happened.
"..."
"...She kissed me."
The realization arrived a full five seconds later.
"...Holy shit."
Ludwig doesn't even realize he's smiling as he fumbles his phone out of his pocket and dials the first number that comes to mind.
The call barely rings once.
"What now? Did you two suck the living shit of each other or what?"
Lane's voice came through thick with sleep.
"...She kissed me. On my right cheek."
A pause.
"..."
"...About fucking time."
The line went dead.
Ludwig stared at the phone for a second before laughing to himself, slipping it back into his pocket.
Somewhere behind the apartment doors, you were probably smiling too.
And for the first time in three years...
Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough.

ɪ ɪɪ ɪɪɪ ɪᴠ
“Oh, you fucking asshole! That’s cheating!”
You sit in front of your desktop, the shouting blasting clear through the other side of your headphones.
It’s just another ordinary weekend night. You and a few online friends have gathered to play, though most of the time it just ends with people yelling insults into their mics.
“Not our fault you girls suck so bad!” the other side barks back, the voice of a young guy you’ve known for who knows how long.
“NOOB!” someone shouts obnoxiously as the argument heats up.
You can’t even tell whose voice is whose through the chaos in the background anymore. Lowering the volume a bit, you click through the menu to reach the store tab.
The lobby has been packed lately, which explains why everyone’s here tonight. There’s a convention coming up next week, so everyone’s excited to finally meet in person. Some live far away, so it’s a rare chance to gather everyone in one place.
You’ve never met anyone in the group besides the two girls you talk to all the time. Other than that, everything stays in online games or group chats. You’ve just never met the rest, mostly because you were added to the group way later than everyone else. By the time you joined their Ventrilo, everybody already knew each other and got along well.
So sometimes you feel a bit left out. The girls try to include you, but it’s not really about the group. It’s more that you find it awkward and tough to get close to people who are already tight. It feels like you’re invading their space, like you’re an outsider.
“Mooney, are you still there?”
You hear your friend’s voice through the headset and answer quietly. “Yeah, I’m still here.”
“You’re so quiet, girl, say something!” another guy suddenly barges in, making you feel irritated enough for the night.
“Are you bitter because we won?” another guy speaks up, as if trying to bombard you with their loud voices and obnoxious tone.
In reality, you’re just frustrated that this fucking game decided to restock your favorite items right when you haven’t received your paycheck. You doubt you’ll be able to get them in time. So you sit here, stressing out and calculating whether buying these items means you won’t be able to afford a proper meal later.
This is why I hate capitalism.
You almost cuss out loud while people keep talking in the background.
“What are you doing?” another friend asks, ignoring the idiots rambling on.
“Checking the store,” you answer with a heavy sigh, shifting your weight in the chair.
“Oh right! The item you said you liked got restocked!” she emphasizes, making you want to sigh even harder.
“Yeah, and at the most inconvenient time too…” You don’t want to sound like you’re bitching over in-game items, but honestly, it’s worth bitching over.
“Poor girl, you just upgraded your setup, didn’t you?” she asks. You nod before realizing she can’t see your face.
“Yeah, my screen fucked up and I had to swap out some cards. This sucks.” You almost groan, and she lets out a helpless laugh on her end.
“Well, on the bright side, you can play Assassin’s Creed now,” she reminds you, making you tilt your head.
“Fair enough.” You huff a soft sigh and shift in your chair again.
“Anyway, I have to log off now. Got class tomorrow. Y’all have fun!”
Your friend goes offline immediately, leaving the others to let out a collective groan.
“Really? She’s running away again.”
“Spare her, she’s still got homework to do.”
The guys chitchat, talking about pretty much nothing. You don’t say anything further, just continuing to browse your inventory.
Maybe you should join a different game or another lobby. You haven’t really talked much with any of these guys anyway. You only joined because your friend asked you to, and staying here feels awkward. You doubt they even want to play with you.
Just as you’re about to hit the exit button, a smaller window pops up in the corner of your screen.
Uhm hello?
You look at the text, then check the profile and username to see who it is.
Imavirgin
Jesus Christ, who is this guy?!
You almost burst out laughing before remembering to mute your mic, barely keeping yourself from falling off your chair.
mooney: Uhm hi?
You reply, recognizing the profile as one of the dudes from your friends’ gaming group. Okay, a familiar face. You didn't even remember adding him, since you never text anyone outside the general chat.
You recall people clowning him in the chat by spamming his favorite anime girls. He’s pretty much the unspoken mascot of the group at this point.
A bunch of losers, and you're one of them :)
mooney: Do you need something?
You type it out as he seems to hesitate on his end.
Imavirgin: Uh... if you're leaving... um... we're one short in my other friend lobby if you wanted to... join? You don't have to.
Why does this guy type like he’s stuttering on his own keyboard?
You question everything as you read his text. Is this guy actually inviting you to play with his other friend group?
Normally, no one in this group asks you to play unless it’s through your friends. It’s understandable though. You’re not exactly easy to approach, so maybe they just don’t want to bother you.
mooney: Why did you ask me tho? The other guys are still online right?
You reply, watching the typing indicator load for way too long, as if he’s writing a whole paragraph only to delete it.
Imavirgin: ... I think you play well… and we need objective
He explains, sounding like he’s trying to convince you, afraid you’ll reject the invite. The corner of your mouth curves up slightly.
mooney: Are you saying I play good?
You press him to admit it. Most guys in the group hate admitting a girl plays well anyway. They always make fun of your friend, even when she cracks skulls with an M16 and goes 18-3.
Imavirgin: ...yes
He answers almost instantly, making you snort before typing back.
mooney: Better than those dudes so you ask me?
You're just messing with him. Most guys here would never admit someone plays better than their buddies, so you wonder how he’ll react. He replies with the exact same word.
Imavirgin: ... Yes
And as if afraid it’s not clear enough, he sends another right after.
Imavirgin: Plus you never ditch mid-match.
You stare at the screen, a small smile touching your lips.
mooney: Ok, send me invite then
You type it out, wondering which of the guys in the lobby he even is. You don't really pay attention to their handles.
Don't tell me his name is [Imavirgin] in-game too?
You scan the lobby, but before you can find him, an invitation pops up in the top corner of your screen.
69_PussySlayer_420
The handler popping up on your screen makes you burst out laughing. Thank God you weren't drinking anything, and thank God you muted your mic, because you're laughing like a hyena.
What the fuck is wrong with this guy? What kind of name is that?
You try to stop laughing, clutching your stomach as you adjust yourself in the chair.
You accept the invite and drop into the lobby. You can hear a few dudes talking in the background, with Imavirgin’s voice among them.
“Your friend on yet, Lub?” a guy asks through his mic. You check his name: i_L0v4_MILF21.
You can't hold back a wheeze, accidentally unmuting your mic and laughing right into it.
“Wait-”
“Is that a girl, Lub?”
“BRO NO FUCKING WAY!”
The guys start chiming in and making fun of him until he finally speaks up.
“You guys, shut up!”
It’s not the first time you’ve heard his voice, but it’s definitely the clearest. Usually, everyone’s shouting over each other in the lobby or mid-match, so you can never tell who’s who.
“Sorry…” he stammers, a subtle pause between his words. “This is Mooney. She’s from my other group.”
“You know we’re playing ranked today, right? Letting a girl play... I’m not taking responsibility if we lose and get dragged fucking down.”
The obnoxious voice comes through your headset again. i_L0v4_MILF21 seems to be the loudest in the room, full of shit, but you stay quiet simply because you aren't in the mood to argue.
“Hey, she’s really good. And she plays the objective.”
“Yeah, yeah, right. Look at you finally growing a dick to ask a girl to play. What’s next? A wedding proposal?”
Why does this dude sound so fucking mad and jealous? What’s his problem?
You roll your eyes.
“You have me on your team, and she’s crazy on the map. Trust me.” Lub continues, defending you to his friends.
You don't have the patience for this, so you finally speak up. “Are we playing or not?”
The whole lobby goes dead silent for a second.
“Oh fuck! She’s real!” someone breaks the awkward silence, practically screaming into his mic.
“Bro, I thought you were catfishing us!”
“Yeah, thought she was one of your imaginary girlfriends, like those figurines and body pillows you have…”
They start clowning him again, and you just sigh heavily. Man-children.
“Hey, new girl,” i_L0v4_MILF21 speaks up again, drawing your attention. “If we lose, I’m blaming it on you.”
He sounds so smug you just want to crawl through the screen and choke him out.
Game on, you little shit.
[Note: I know absolutely nothing about COD, so bear with me. My entire knowledge of the franchise comes from Tumblr smut about Ghost (Simon Riley). The closest I've ever gotten to actually playing COD was back in 2009 when my cousin was babysitting me. He handed me a controller that wasn't even connected and let me think I was helping.]
The load screen flashes, dropping your team straight into Search and Destroy on Crash. Before the countdown even hits zero, you pull out your M4A1, clear your throat, and take control of the comms.
“Three rushing A-site through the alley. Lub, watch the sniper lane at middle.”
You sprint past i_L0v4_MILF21 before he can even line up his crosshairs, cooking a flashbang and bouncing it clean off the archway.
The white flash pops, instantly followed by the sharp, rhythmic crack of your rifle, three clean, controlled bursts to the chest. Three kills, three headshots, feeding the killfeed before the rest of the team even reaches the courtyard.
“A-site cleared. Plant the bomb, Lub. I’m covering back-alley.”
You slide into cover behind the wooden barrels, switching to your secondary, eyes on the killcam angles. When the last enemy tries to flank from the second-floor balcony, you snap up, pre-firing through the wooden wall to rip through his armor and secure the round-winning kill.
Silence falls over the call, save for the heavy breathing of the dudes on your team. Clicking your tongue as the scoreboard flashes your flawless score.
(×_×)⌒☆
“Okay, that was fucking luck, not that you’re good,” the guy says in denial, grumbling through his mic. You just laugh your ass off at how ridiculous he sounds.
“What do you mean? She fucking carried us with Lub!” another guy chimed in to speak up, and they begin to banter again.
“We smoked them so hard they’re mad in the lobby,” a third guy laughs out loud. “Thank you, Mooney, you’re fucking cool. Lub, where did you find her?”
“Don’t tease her too much,” the man who’s been quiet for a while finally speaks up. The other guys just laugh louder.
“Why are you so quiet today? 'Cause a girl’s in the lobby?”
“Shut up, dude.”
i_L0v4_MILF21’s mic lights up once again as he talks over the others.
“Didn’t you guys say you were logging off by now? What the fuck are you still here for?”
He sounds like he wants to chase those guys away and kick them out of the room. They all just laugh before wrapping it up.
“GG.”
“GG.”
“GG, guys.”
When everyone else leaves the lobby, the only ones left behind are you, i_L0v4_MILF21, and 69_PussySlayer_420.
God, their names… Are they best buddies or something?
You just stare at the screen, about to leave, not even sure if you should say something to the guy or just log off.
“Wanna play another match?” i_L0v4_MILF21 suddenly asks, taking you by surprise.
Didn’t he just say earlier he didn’t want to play with a girl because they couldn’t shoot properly?
“Bro, you have work tomorrow, remember? You’re going to be late again. What about your work wife?”
“What about her?” The guy suddenly sounds so irritated, as if the other guy stepped on a landmine. “Not her business whether I’m on time or not though.”
“You said she’s coming to take the key tomorrow morning,” the other guy adds. “Shouldn’t you go to bed now?”
“You suddenly sound like my mom, and it’s not in a funny way,” he cuts through his friend’s words again. You sit there, feeling a bit awkward and unsure if you should even voice your presence.
“Okay, I’m just saying-” He seems to finally notice you’re still in the lobby as he speaks up again. “O-oh, you’re still here… Mooney.”
He doesn’t even sound comfortable calling you by your handle, and while you don’t quite understand why, you find it kind of adorable.
“Figured I should say goodbye first,” you answer him. You don’t hear a response from his side for a second.
Just as you think he disconnected, his friend speaks up once more.
“Dude’s malfunctioning just because a girl wants to say goodbye. Did it take you so long to invite her to the lobby because your brain was trying to reboot from all those cum-thick hentai you jerk off to?”
Jesus Christ, where did the cum even come from?
He doesn’t say it in a mean way, just unhinged and joking around. Good god, you’re used to these kinds of conversations because people in your other group have said way worse, but still… that’s a bit much to say in front of a stranger, isn’t it? Does he just not care?
You don’t even know what to say or if you should answer at all. Then you hear a low groan come through your headset.
“Dudeee!” He sneers at the other guy, who just laughs. “Sorry about my friend.”
“The fuck are you apologizing for? She didn’t even say anything. Hey, Mooney,” the guy speaks in between you two, asking. “How do you even know this loser? Don’t tell me he showed you his Yu-Gi-Oh card collection and you agreed to hang out with him?”
You sit stiffly in your chair, not knowing what to say. Who even makes conversation like this?
“I mentioned before she’s from another group-”
“Sshh. I’m asking her, not you, Lub,” the guy shuts him down, then continues pressing you. “So? You were pretty vocal in the game, why so quiet now?”
“I just… don’t want to talk to you.” You’re unsure if that’s the right way to put it, but you just don’t like talking to strangers. Plus, this guy keeps getting on your nerves in a way you can’t quite put your finger on.
“Ouch, you-”
Before he can continue, someone else cuts in.
“Ah, I think that’s enough for today. Thank you, Mooney. GG.”
He deflects the conversation back to you. You think, yeah, maybe I should leave. He’s clearly not comfortable with his friend continuing to talk to you, probably afraid the other guy might say something offensive.
“GG…” You actually want to call his name, but you’re unsure what it even is. There’s no way you’re using his handle or username, that sounds weird as fuck.
“Ludwig. But people call me Lub,” he finally introduces himself a bit more properly, probably realizing how ridiculous his username and handle sound.
“Okay. GG, Lub. Goodbye.”
You leave the lobby without saying anything further.
That was all for the night. You decide to take a quick shower before going to bed. When you return from the bathroom and check the mail on your phone one last time, you see a notification:
69_PussySlayer_420 gifted you an item from the Steam store!
You think you misread it, so you take a second look. It really is that guy who sent you the item, and it’s the exact one you mentioned wanting. How did he even know, what the fuck? And why did he even buy it for you?
You collapse onto your comfy bed, open the chat on your phone, and text the [Imavirgin] account once again.
mooney: Did you just buy me an item?
You ask him without any further context. Maybe he made a mistake, maybe he was trying to give it to one of his friends and misclicked.
Imavirgin: Yes
Why is his answer so short now, as if he has nothing further to elaborate on? As if it’s normal to give a random person something they want?
mooney: Uhm are you sure you didn't mistake me for anyone else?
You ask him again for clarification, feeling confused and dumbfounded by his action.
Imavirgin: Nope
You stare at the screen, your mind a bit blank for a few minutes.
mooney: Which part of my question was that "nope" for?
You ask another question, seeing the typing indicator appear on the other side.
Imavirgin: It's just for carrying me and my friends.
It’s a short answer, leaving you no room to negotiate. Before you can reply, another message comes in.
Imavirgin: Sorry for what my friend said. He didn't mean anything, he just likes to talk nonsense.
You read his text and wonder if he’s being sincere, or if he’s no different from the other dudes you’ve met and talked to before.
mooney: I'll take it then.
You reply, and the only thing he sends back is a thumbs-up emoji, as if he’s got nothing left to say.
This guy… not really much of a talker, is he? You don’t find any reason to say anything further, so you turn off your phone and get cozy in bed.
(×_×)⌒☆
A week isn’t that long, especially considering you have to travel for the convention. You’re only close to two girls in the group, but some of the others are really nice, so you saw no reason to decline when they asked you to hang out.
What bothered you wasn't the travel though.
What bothered you was why the hell everybody was so late. You had circled the Pokémon booth god knows how many times, and it was hard to keep your hands to yourself when everything was so tempting. You tried your luck at the drawing table more than five times hoping to get your favorite card, but walked away with nothing. Sighing heavily, you shoved the rest of your stuff into your bag and pulled out your phone.
The group chat had been dead quiet since morning. The last message was someone saying they were getting ready to head over, and you doubted they’d be here anytime soon considering that was three hours ago.
What is wrong with people and timetables? At least you weren't completely alone all morning. You had time to meet up with a few other online friends, which was fun, but walking around for so long was starting to wear you out. It was already past the time everyone agreed to meet, yet not a single update had been sent.
You sat down on a bench near the main hall headquarters and looked around. The place was packed to the brim with cosplayers and groups of friends hanging out.
Should you send something in the group chat? Like telling them you’re here and asking when they’ll arrive? Or would that be weird? You don't know them that well, so you didn't want to come across as needy or attention-seeking.
Maybe you were just overthinking the whole thing.
A notification popped up on your screen a second later.
imavirgin: where tf everybody at? i have been here the whole morning
You stared at the familiar profile and handle, letting out a faint huff.
xX_Sephiroth_99_Xx: relax we are on our way. almost there.
imavirgin: almost your ass you say that 30 minutes ago in our dm
ShadowSlayer2009: ok just find something to do while we get there. im at parking lot now
imavirgin: hurry tf up mannn
You read through the texts, still hesitating to chime in and admit you were already here too. If he’d been here all morning without saying anything, he probably had his own stuff to do or other friends to meet. Blurted out that you were alone felt awkward.
Before you could lock your phone, another message flashed on the screen. It was one of the girls from the group chat. You weren't super close, but she was always nice and tried to make sure you didn't feel left out.
Kawaiiprinc3ss: mooney
You stared at the ping.
Kawaiiprinc3ss: you read the group message too right? have you arrived yet?
Her message effectively paused the rest of the chat. You thought for a second before typing back.
mooney: yeah i have been here since morning.
Kawaiiprinc3ss: sorry bb i run into some issue i will arrive a bit late 😭
mooney: oh thats fine i can hang around bit more til you arrive
ShadowSlayer2009: wait isnt lub already there. why dont you two just meet up first? we will gather at one spot once everybody arrive
Kawaiiprinc3ss: oh yeah easier to find each other, then mooney you can find lub right
You almost forgot who "Lub" was until you recalled the guy who invited you to his lobby a week ago. Right, the imavirgin and 69_PussySlayer_420 guy.
imavirgin: me?
ShadowSlayer2009: bro you complained no one there now there is someone you hesitate. fucking man up.
You stared at the chat, not knowing what to say. He didn't sound super thrilled about the idea either, and you felt weird pushing it. You planned to just ignore the group and wait for the girl to get here, but your phone buzzed again.
A direct message this time.
imavirgin: hey sorry, i saw you read the message in group
imavirgin: you dont have to meet up with me if you dont want to
How did he even come to that conclusion? You hadn't even said anything yet. Sure, you found the whole thing a bit awkward, but it wasn't like you were unwilling to hang out. Otherwise, why would you bother coming at all?
mooney: i didn't say anything? did you not want to meet up with me?
imavirgin: that wasnt what i mean!
imavirgin: sorry i just think you'd want to meet up with people you're more familiar with…
Even without seeing his face, you could practically feel the panic radiating through the screen. He was surprisingly transparent in text. It was kind of funny.
mooney: ok then i want to meet up with you
imavirgin: really?!
imavirgin: are u sure?
Why was he like this? You wondered why he was so timid compared to the other guys in the group, who all seemed super outgoing. Was he just overthinking everything, or did you give him the wrong impression?
mooney: ludwig, i'm sure i want to meet up with you. can you come out of wherever you're hiding please?
imavirgin: oh you remember my name
mooney: ?
mooney: do people normally not remember your name?
imavirgin: not that, people just call me lub more than my name
mooney: i see. should i call you that too if that's what you prefer?
imavirgin: you can call me whatever you want
You almost laughed at the reply, unsure if he was just chill or genuinely didn't care what people called him.
imavirgin: im near the headquarter tho, where are you right now?
mooney: im at headquarter too, around the resting area
imavirgin: im there too.
Now the issue was that neither of you had any idea what the other looked like. Finding each other in this sea of people wasn't going to be easy.
mooney: give me some visual description might help me find you better
imavirgin: oh im… brown blond hair
mooney: there are like 1000 guys with same shade of hair, lub
imavirgin: uhm i guess better if you can see my bag i have keychain on it
mooney: let me guess, Lala Satalin Deviluke
imavirgin: !
imavirgin: how do u know that?
mooney: i mean you spam about her in group chat with others all the time. hard to miss
imavirgin: yeah… but i actually try to tell you about my other keychain
mooney: pokemon or yugioh one?
imavirgin: …. whichever make it easier for you
mooney: okay lub so you're brown blond hair with yugioh pokemon and Lala Satalin Deviluke keychain on your bag. anything else i should notice?
imavirgin: that is all…
mooney: k
imavirgin: what about you? is there anything i can notice you?
mooney: no
You sent the quick reply and immediately stood up from the bench. At the exact same time, a guy sitting on the adjoining bench around the corner stood up too, and you practically walked straight into him.
“Sorry,” you both blurted out simultaneously.
The guy dropped something onto the floor. You leaned down and picked it up before he could, only to pause when you realized you were holding a Lala Satalin Deviluke keychain.
For a second, you thought it was just a bizarre coincidence, but then you looked up at him.
He was tall, taller than you realized at first because he slumped his shoulders. Fluffy, light dirty-blonde hair fell around his head, a bit longer in the back, and he wore a massive, oversized hoodie paired with jeans so loose they looked ready to slip off his hips. A black backpack was slung over one shoulder.
His overall look was messy and uncombed, but small specks of moles scattered across his face made his features stand out. He had a faint bump on his nose, and if not for his height, you might have walked right past him. But staring up at him now, everything suddenly slotted into place.
The guy looked thoroughly confused, nervous, and flustered as you kept staring at him. A bright red flush slowly crept from the tips of his ears, down his cheeks, and spread across his neck. He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly before reaching out to take the keychain from your hand.
His fingers were long and slender, with faint calluses on the tips, unmistakably from hours on a mouse and keyboard. Gamer hands :)
“Thank you,” he mumbled under his breath, so quietly you barely caught it.
His fingertips brushed yours as he pulled the keychain back, making him flinch slightly. “So-sorry,” he stammered, reacting as if he’d just been shocked by static electricity.
You didn't say anything, shifting your eyes away. He quietly stepped past you to leave, but as he walked by, you caught a glimpse of his backpack. Hanging right off the side zipper were two distinct Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh keychains.
Your eyes tracked him for a second before you turned around and lightly tugged on the hem of his oversized shirt.
He froze instantly, looking back over his shoulder with a startled expression.
“Im a virgin…?” you asked.
His eyes widened, looking both shocked and mortified by the name. For a fraction of a second, his face practically read yes that’s me, quickly followed by how the fuck do you know that?
Then his eyes widened even further as the realization hit him.
“Mooney?”
(꩜ ᯅ ꩜)
It was awkward, really, because after that, the two of you just sat in silence. He didn't say anything, staring down at his phone or more accurately, trying to pretend he was busy because he didn't know what to say. You could occasionally catch him glancing at you through the corner of his eye.
It kind of frustrated you, until you finally looked up at him.
“What is it?” you asked out straightforwardly.
He seemed to shrink into his seat, shaking his head slightly. “N-nothing.”
His answer made you want to press further. His awkwardness was making you feel awkward, and you had no idea why he was so nervous around you. It wasn't like you were going to bite him. The tips of his ears had been bright red from the moment he saw you, he couldn't hold eye contact for more than five seconds, and you hadn't spoken more than five words to him.
“Are you normally this nervous around strangers?” you asked, watching the flush spread even further across his face.
“I-I'm no… not really,” he stuttered slightly, avoiding your gaze.
The bench was huge, but he was sitting at the very edge, his long legs looking like they were struggling to find a comfortable angle just to leave you more than half the space.
It was a simple yes-or-no question, and he couldn't even answer. Maybe he was just ridiculously shy.
He could obviously sense you staring, but he didn't dare ask you to stop. He just sat there in silence, waiting to see who would break it first.
Thank God he was the one who finally spoke up.
“So you're, uhm… a friend of Kawaiiprinc3ss, right?”
It was the most obvious question ever, and you could tell he felt stupid the second it left his mouth. But he clearly didn't know what else to say, so you answered, keeping the conversation going because anything was better than the dying silence.
“Yeah. You're friends with her too, aren't you?”
You threw the question back at him. He shook his head, then hesitated and nod.
“Uhm, I don't talk to her much,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“You're quieter in real life,” you commented softly.
He almost jumped, lifting his head. For a brief moment, your eyes met his. His brownish-green eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wasn't sure how to process your words. The ambient light caught them, highlighting his awkwardness even more.
“Though you weren't exactly loud in VC either,” you added when you saw the tension on his face.
He let out a small huff, almost a breath of relief. “I, uhm… don't tend to talk when there are…”
“Strangers?” you finished for him when he hesitated.
Did he think you'd take offense to that? You felt the exact same way, quiet around people you didn't know, but impossible to shut up around close friends.
“I was gonna say people I don't know… but yeah. You're right. Strangers.” He spoke awkwardly, and you let out a soft laugh.
“You're talking just fine with me though.”
His gaze fell back on you, eyes widening slightly, hesitation still laced in his voice. “Because I know you. I-I mean, we played games together. I didn't mean like I know you… but I'm getting to know you now…”
He tried to explain, but the more he spoke, the more tangled he got. He stuttered, stumbling over his words, his body language practically screaming how flustered he was. He looked so troubled you almost cracked a smile, but you kept it gentle and eased him down instead.
“Okay, calm down. I get what you mean.”
Your calm tone settled him. He looked at you with a wave of relief washing over his face.
“Nice to get to know you too, Ludwig.” You offered him a small smile.
He returned it, still a bit stiffly, but way better than whatever full-system malfunction he was having earlier.
You didn't get much of a chance to talk to him after that, because the rest of the group finally arrived. Everyone gathered in one place, wandering the convention floor a bit longer before deciding to head out for a bite to eat.
As you sat beside your friend at the restaurant, a guy across the table spoke up. “Oh, Logan's coming over too.”
“What? I thought he said he couldn't make it?”
“Yeah, work stuff, but he said he can join for dinner.”
Everyone kept chatting, but you stayed quiet, focusing on your friend beside you.
“Boo,” she muttered, clearly disapproving. “He always does that, changes plans at the last minute.”
Another guy laughed. “Spare him, his job is a wreck. Even on weekends the dude's on shift…”
They continued to banter while you stayed in your corner. Your friend turned to you suddenly. “So, I think you and Lub live in the same city, right?”
Her words caught you off guard. You lifted your head, only to meet a pair of amber eyes looking back at you from across the table. Both of you quickly looked away, feeling like you'd been caught secretly staring.
“Ah, yeah, but we… haven't talked much.”
“Yeah, I figured. You're both so quiet. Why don't you talk more?”
Her question made your shoulders stiffen slightly. She gestured to the tall guy opposite you, but Ludwig just turned his face away, taking a sip from his water glass with sudden, intense concentration.
“You,” she called out, catching his attention.
He pointed at himself, looking around blankly. “Me?”
“Yeah, you. I see you yapping with the guys all the time, why are you so quiet today?”
The guy next to him suddenly chimed in, nudging Ludwig with his elbow. “This guy? He's shy around any kind of female species.”
Your eyes fell back on Ludwig's face. The familiar tint of red crept up from his neck, but he stayed quiet, taking the hit.
“Wait, really? Max, stop exaggerating,” your friend laughed, shaking her head.
“Nope. He straight up malfunctions if a girl stands within a five-meter radius of him.” Max kept clowning Ludwig, who just let out a nervous chuckle, the flush on his cheeks deepening.
“He's exaggerating,” Ludwig finally mumbled in his own defense.
Your friend turned to you. “Yeah, obviously. Otherwise, how would you two have even talked earlier, right?”
You hesitated, unsure how to answer without making it weird. Should you explain that you two had barely managed a full conversation before everyone arrived?
“We didn't say much-”
“See? I told you,” Max cut through your words instantly. “He can't form a complete sentence in front of a girl, let alone Mooney.”
An edge of irritation touched your chest. You knew he probably didn't mean anything malicious, but God, could this guy let someone finish a sentence? You remembered him from VC, he was always cutting people off, especially when you first joined. Your friends would try to include you, and Max would constantly talk over you, completely dismissing whatever you had to say.
He was basically a minion to Logan. Logan had an ego larger than his brain, constantly ignoring you during matches or in general chat, which led Max to mirror the exact same behavior toward you. It made you feel isolated, like an outsider.
You looked straight at Max and spoke up. “That's a bit of a stretch. He speaks to me just fine.”
You turned your gaze to Ludwig. His sandy bangs slightly shadowed his eyes as he looked over at you.
“Right, Lub?” you asked, signaling him with your eyes.
“Ah, yeah. We talk just fine,” Ludwig immediately followed up, backing you up against Max.
“Max, enough of you messing around. Leave them alone,” your friend chimed in, effectively shutting him down.
You didn't even give Max another glance. Just then, a shadow fell over the table as someone approached.
“What's with all the commotion?” A deep, smooth voice filled the space, and a few of the guys stood up to greet him.
“Logan, bro! You finally made it. We were waiting for you…”
They greeted each other before Logan slipped off his jacket, draping it over an empty chair.
“I suppose we have a new face,” he said, his eyes landing on you.
Dark cropped hair, a sharp jawline, and dark eyes. Standard good-looking guy. His outfit was clean and put-together as he offered you a polished smile.
“I'm Logan. Nice to meet you.” He extended his hand, waiting for a handshake.
Everyone at the table was watching. As much as you disliked him, you didn't want to be a buzzkill, so you reached out and briefly took his hand.
“I'm Mooney. Nice to meet you too.” His hand was cold, and you pulled yours back immediately, wanting no further contact.
Nice my ass, asshole.
You felt petty, but having to smile at the guy who had systematically excluded you from the group wasn't easy. You had only come because you thought he wouldn't show up. Why did he have to turn up now?
Keeping your face neutral, you settled back into your seat and ignored him as the others struck up conversations with him.
“Mooney, do you drink?” your friend leaned in and asked quietly. “Most people are ordering beer, but I can get you something else if you want.”
You scanned the table. Almost everyone was having beer. It wasn't that you couldn't drink, you just didn't feel like it tonight.
“Do you want a soda instead?”
The quiet voice came from across the table. You looked up at Ludwig.
“Oh, you're not drinking either?” your friend asked him before you could answer.
“Yeah. Don't feel like it today,” he murmured softly, giving a short response.
You caught his eye and nodded. “I'll have a soda too.”
It felt a lot less awkward when you weren't the only one opting out.
I just want to say I'm really happy you guys like my drawings, even though I haven't been very active lately. I'm going through the worst period of my life right now, but I'm trying to stay as calm as possible, though I don't always manage it. THANKS GOD drawing relaxes me... SOOO, as promised... I drew Ludwig the way I imagine him (soo with longer hair, diamond earrings (canon), and maybe some freckles? I still have to decide on that. I also think glasses would suit him really well—if he's glued to video games like a madman, his eyesight might get worse, after all...) Anyway, the next drawing I do will be of RB, and probably some more chibi art. Sorry for the message—it's almost 4 AM here and I was feeling a bit down (dw, I'm okay now). Anyway, I hope you like it! BYE 💖
(i’m trying to do the laly style, well it’s a mix between mine and hers, I HAVE TO STUDY IT OK. i hope you guys, and laly.. like it)
Here she is, on a beautiful morning jog, and then suddenly, two dogs are running at her excitedly. They’re huge; Vivi didn’t exactly get a good look before sprinting off, but they looked like they could topple her with a good jump. She ran for several blocks before realizing the dogs were enjoying it as a game. She stopped. Fortunately for her, they were friendly, if not overexcited.
She leans down to take a closer look at them.
The first dog, a husky, hasn’t stopped howling and barking the entire time. He was particularly troublesome; during the chase, he would nip at her butt whenever he caught up to her. He eagerly leans in for pets and lets out a satisfied woof in response.
He has pretty blue-grey eyes and a silver dog tag. He whines and flinches back when she reaches towards it, but a few more chin scratches and he relents, melting into her arms. No usable information; of course. Why does a dog have a police dog tag anyway? It may be in the name, but it’s not meant for dogs…right?
She turns to look at the other dog, a golden retriever with amber eyes, a few moles, and a goofy smile. When he notices her reaching towards him, he shies behind the husky, who barks at his friend supportively. Almost… teasingly? She laughs, about to step back when the golden retriever bounces into her arms, butting her hands until she scratches his forehead. No collar on this one either; huh.
Vivi would be happy continuing to do this if the husky didn’t start whimpering. She grins. “You’re just a little attention seeker, aren’t you?”
He barks as if to affirm this. She bursts out laughing; his owners must call him that often if he recognizes the words immediately.
“Well. You two stink.” She winces her nose. “But you two also seem well-groomed. You should go home now, okay?”
She starts walking away from them, but they immediately trot after her. She goes into a jog; they follow. Well, more accurately, the husky follows her. The golden retriever appears to be following behind the husky.
“Hey, I don’t know you two. You have to go home.”
They both sit in front of her, panting. The husky whines and rubs at her legs, pausing only to eye his friend and gesture towards her. The golden retriever follows, butting her until she squats down to meet them at eye level. His tail wags furiously. She tries to shoo them away, to no avail. They won’t go away. And they keep following her. What is she supposed to do?
“Well. I can’t take you guys home…”
The husky whines in response, then goes into a long howl. Vivi giggles. “My parents are a strict no pets household. And quiet time by 10 pm. And something tells me that you never shut up.”
He grins and licks her cheek. She’s a bit taken aback, but simply wipes off the extra saliva and clicks at him. “Naughty Dog. Okay, I’ll get you two home. You’ll be Dog, and you’ll be…” She glances over at the golden retriever. His face is so blank and his eyes are so round…he’s a full sized dog, bigger even, but he looks so adorable and small. “Puppy. You’re Puppy now.”
The husky snorts, but appears to agree. She glances over at the golden retriever. His tail is still wagging, so she takes it as a yes.
She stands back up and dusts off her thighs. The husky, now named Dog, tries to nose up her shorts, but she flicks him away, shooting him a glare. He woofs.
“Troublemaker.” She huffs. “Okay. Well. Let’s start where I first found you guys.”
Vivi starts jogging towards her neighborhood and the two follow obediently. The husky attempts to drag them off the path a few times, but a stern look and some patience from Vivi (as well as her just leaving, causing him to then chase after her urgently). The golden, on the other hand, is as well behaved as ever, but he wasn’t really following her. He was following the husky. It took much longer than it should’ve, but they finally made it to the edge of her neighborhood.
“Gotta start somewhere…” She narrows in on a corner. She’ll try every door until someone recognizes the dogs. She walks up to the first house and knocks. No answer. She shrugs, turning around to greet the boys. But only one pair of eyes peek up at her. Amber.
“Puppy, where did-”
She’s cut off by furious barking down the street. Immediately, the golden runs towards his friend, barking furiously. “Whoa, Puppy, that’s a lot of bravado-” She begins, but stops short. Dog is barking at a chained Doberman, who’s growling in response. The Doberman shifts into an aggressive stance. Puppy, despite looking a bit scared, stands next to Dog.
It’s a standoff.
Vivi’s pretty sure she shouldn’t get between three dogs that look ready to fight, but what else is she supposed to do? She’s about to run between them when a sharp voice stops her.
“Mrs. Fostman, I thought we agreed you wouldn’t walk Lane down this street.” A young woman walks out of the house behind the Doberman, who stops growling. She looks up; their eyes meet. “Oh. You’re not Mrs. Fostman.”
“I am not.” Vivi says slowly. “I’m Vivi. I moved in down the street.”
“Hannah. But everyone just calls me Nana.”
Vivi tilts her head, confused. “You look so young.”
“It caught on. I’m not actually a grandma.” She laughs. “Now, let me get BB in before Lane starts another fight.” She turns, looking the husky in the eye. “You. Hush. Not another word.”
Lane(?) whines with a look on his face that says, “Sure, whatever.” But to her surprise, he does stay quiet while Nana takes her dog back inside. When she returns, it’s with a soft smile and kind eyes. “Sorry about that. So…what’s going on here?”
Vivi can’t quite put her finger on it, but she’s seen Nana around before. But now’s not the time to ask. There’s more pressing matters at hand. “You know these two?”
“Well, sure. The husky’s Lane. And the retriever is Ludwig. And my own boy is Werner, but I just call him BB. He and Lane have a bit of a…well, it’s hard to call it a rivalry. Laney here loves the ladies and my darling boy is protective. They get into it every time they see each other. Mrs. Fostman and I have an agreement to not walk on each other’s streets.”
“BB? Like baby boy?”
“Close! Biker boy. He loves our motorcycle rides.” Nana smiles, looking back at her house fondly.
That’s why Nana looks familiar.
She’s seen Nana riding her motorcycle at night. Usually a hot woman on a motorcycle would be enough to catch Vivi’s eye, but there was a dog on the motorcycle with her. If that wasn’t surprising enough, the dog was wearing a helmet. The first time she saw it, she thought she had one too many monsters and not enough sleep, but she saw it again. And again.
“That’s adorable. I’ve seen you two before.” She grins. “Okay, okay. So can you take these two home?”
Nana shakes her head apologetically. “No can do. Lane lives on Lakewood Street, which is a bit too far. And unfortunately, if BB smells Lane all over my clothes, which I’m sure you’ve learned Lane will do, he’ll rip them up. Did that with a nice pair of shoes that Lane rubbed his face over.”
Lane huffs, walking up to Nana. He lays back onto his back expectantly and Nana follows with bellyrubs. “I don’t think Ludwig lives around here, actually. The Fostman’s must be dogsitting Lub over here.”
“Ah. Do you know their house number? I can take them back.”
“I don’t, it’s been a while since I’ve been in that area. BB and all…I do remember that the Fostman’s have a gorgeous cat that likes to sunbathe in the front window. Maybe you’ll get lucky?”
“Sounds good. One more question. Where is Lakewood street exactly?”
“So you’ll go down this street and then…”
Vivi waves goodbye to Nana before following her instructions waving the two dogs along with her. Lane and Ludwig. They’ll be home soon. She takes a slower pace towards the neighborhood, side-eyeing Lane when he tries to nudge her along. “You two chased me for almost a mile this morning. You can follow my pace now.”
He huffs, but continues the rest of the walk alongside her. Ludwig happily enjoys the more leisurely stroll, often getting distracted by a butterfly or a particularly interesting shrub before hurriedly catching up. They chase each other down the final stretch of the street, nipping at each other’s tails, stopping only when Vivi calls their names. They return to her and they all walk onto Lakewood Street.
It’s a short street. There’s one house on the left and three on the other side. Vivi’s trying to look for cats when Lane starts to run off again. This time, it’s to the solo house on the left. He immediately begins digging up one of the rosebushes and chortling happily. Ludwig trots up to him as well, happily watching his friend and glancing around every so often.
“Hey! Lane!”
Ludwig barks, catching Lane’s attention. He looks up and sees Vivi, makes a strange noise as if to say, “who cares,” and continues his digging. The second bark from Ludwig is too late. Ludwig jumps back as a woman approaches Lane and grabs him by the scuff, removing a rose from his mouth. Lane whines, but looks at her with a smug smile on his face. The woman hisses. “You little rat. Where’s your mom? She lose your leash again? And you brought your little friend too?”
Lane barks indignantly, glancing over to Vivi. Vivi holds her hands up. “All him. I don’t mean harm.”
The woman looks at her curiously. “You’re not Mrs. Fostman.”
“I am not. I’m Vivi.”
“Angel.” The woman says, finally letting Lane go. She shoots him a glare. “I’m still watching, Fostman.”
Ludwig runs up to Lane, licking at his neck. Lane whines, glancing over at Angel. He ends his tantrum with a howl. Ludwig barks in return, affirming his friend.
“Those two are funny.” Vivi giggles. “Are all dogs this expressive?”
“I don’t know.” Angel says crossly. “If they are, god save us all.”
A cat wanders out from the front door behind Angel. Vivi’s not sure if it’s the light, but the cat is such a bright shade of orange that he almost looks red. He saunters up to Lane, looking at him with an unimpressed stare. When Lane attempts to sniff him in return, he gets a clawful smack in the face. Lane starts barking furiously and Ludwig starts to circle behind the cat, but Angel gets there first. She scoops up the orange-red cat and fondly cradles him in her arms. “You shouldn’t start fights, RB.”
RB simply purrs in her arms. The look in his eye tells Vivi that he’s not at all apologetic.
“So, uh-”
“Get Fostman out of my yard.”
“I can, just point me to which house.”
“You don’t remember what house you picked them up from?”
“I’m not their sitter or walker. They just started chasing me this morning while I was out.”
“Ugh. Lane’s up to his bullshit again. Let me see. Pretty young girl, huh? You must’ve moved in recently.”
“How’d you-”
“Lane greets all the ladies.’ Angel begins, but she whirls her head around, catching Lane sneaking towards another plant. She reaches for the hose and he darts off. She sighs. “Gave him a smack once on the butt. He liked it so much, he started digging up my plants on purpose. Only thing that deters him now is the hose. Even then…god, he’s such a pain in the ass. Anyway, he lives in the middle house. Can’t miss it. You’ll want to knock on Mrs. Donnelly’s next door though, I bet Mrs. Fostman is at work.”
“Ah, thank you!”
“Thank me by getting him out of here and on a leash as soon as possible. Rat bastard. You wouldn’t believe me, but I caught him showing his buddy over there how to ding dong ditch my door. Stood up on his hind legs to ring the bell, then ran off and hid in the bushes across the street.” She scowls.
Vivi has to swallow her laugh. She gets the feeling Angel doesn’t find the situation quite as funny as she does. “Ah, I did want to ask. RB? Any relation to BB?”
“Oh, you must’ve met Nana. Yeah, found RB on Nana’s motorcycle. Blended right in with the red paint. I took him in. They wanted to call him Red Biker, on account of his color, but I think Red Baby fits him better. RB for short, of course.”
“He’s adorable. Can I pet him?”
“I wouldn’t dear. He’ll leave a mark on you. He doesn’t mean any harm, but he loves to tease. Bad habit, but he’s a darling otherwise. Bit mischievous if anything.”
Vivi steps back from him immediately. She wasn’t trying to get bit. “Well, thank you Angel. Have a good day.”
Angel nods in return before heading back inside her house. Vivi sees the orange cat peek out the window almost immediately and he appears to be looking for Lane. She’s certain that’ll only cause more trouble, so she ushers both dogs back to the street. She needs to knock on Mrs. Donnelly’s door.
“Well, you’ll be home soon buddy. And…you’ll be with Lane, which is what you seem to want anyway.” She looks over at Ludwig, who gives a short bark in response. “Okay. Wait. Which one of these is Mrs. Donnelly’s door?”
If the Fostmans lived in the center house, then either house next to it could be Mrs. Donnelly’s. All Angel said was next door, which didn’t mean much on a street with only four houses. Well, Vivi figures she has a 50/50 shot of picking the right house. She chooses one and rings the doorbell.
Maybe she should’ve taken it as a bad sign when Lane started wagging his tail aggressively and Ludwig wouldn’t go past the walkway.
As soon as the door opens, a rooster? Chicken? Whatever it was, it rushed out of the house squawking. Immediately, Lane began to howl, and the two started jumping at each other and making an unbearable amount of noise. Vivi covered her ears and she could still hear the two shouting in their respective animal languages. The scene would’ve been hilarious if it wasn’t for how odd it was.
Luckily, an older woman walked out calmly. Without a word, she picked up the chicken and tossed them back in the house. The chicken gave a squawk before the woman picked up a burger shaped toy and tossed it to him. He caught it midair with his beak and happily toddled deeper into the house, out of sight. Vivi stood by the doorway confused.
Were all pets this interesting?
“Sorry about that. Chick’s a bit vulgar in the morning. Ah. Well. All the time.” The older woman smiled at Vivi, graciously holding out a hand. “I don’t think we’ve met, dear.”
Vivi grasps her hand, shaking it gently. “Vivi. You wouldn’t be Mrs. Donnelly, would you?”
“Oh no. She’s two doors down.”
Darn. She lost the 50/50. Vivi sighed. “I’m sorry to bother you, Mrs…?”
“Just call me Meemaw, sweetheart. Did Laney here find and chase you around? Bother you?”
“I’m learning it’s a common occurrence…”
Ludwig walks over carefully, eyes locked on the door. That must’ve been why Ludwig was too scared to approach; he knew about the chicken behind it. Lane, on the other hand, looked like he had the time of his life. He walked over and dropped a chicken feather at her feet, howling at Meemaw. He looked like he was about to throw another tantrum when Meemaw reached over and started petting him.
“He’s real mischievous, but he’s a good boy. He caught someone trying to break into my house and nearly bit his leg off.”
Lane woofed, tail wagging furiously. He smiled at the two. If dogs could talk, Vivi was certain that he would be asking, no, begging for praise. And more pets.
“You attention seeker you” She grinned, leaning down to pet him as well. “Well, I should get these two home. Thank you for your time.”
“Of course, sweetie. I’ll let you on your way. Mrs. Donnelly should be able to wrangle these two.”
As soon as Meemaw reached the front door, Ludwig darted behind Vivi’s leg. A beak peeked out for a moment, holding a fried egg toy with a brightly colored orange yolk. Ludwig whimpered, calming when Vivi reached down to soothe him. “The scary chicken is gone, it’s okay…”
Lane on the other hand, howled in protest. She looked over, raising an eyebrow. “You two are one and the same, huh? Already miss your buddy?”
Lane barks in agreement, panting heavily. She stands back up. “Okay, let’s hurry. You two need some water.”
As she walks towards Mrs. Donnelly’s house, she glances over at the Fostman’s house. The gate is still closed. She’s heard that huskies can scale fences, so that’s not a complete surprise. She can definitely imagine Lane climbing or jumping out of the yard somehow.
In the front window, she sees two pretty ragdoll cats. She pauses, deciding a minute wouldn’t hurt. One of them has black fur and brown eyes. She dons a dark blue color with a metal heart; on it, a V. The other cat has white fur and a red collar. Vivi has to look around a bit, but she spies an A. V glances over at Vivi before going back to licking A. One lick on A’s mouth jolts her awake and Vivi is greeted with a familiar pair of blue-grey eyes.
“Huh. Your eyes are the same shade as Lane’s. Guess you really are a family.”
She swears A’s eyes shift into a glare. Then, her eyes catch sight of Lane and she hisses. He howls in return, a dopey smile on his face.
This is definitely the Fostman’s house.
She walks away from the window and heads towards Mrs. Donnelly’s house. This feels final, somehow. A saga coming to an end.
Vivi knocks on the door.
Mrs. Donnelly answers the door. “Hello, dear. Oh, my. Lane, did you escape again?”
Lane and Ludwig both bark in recognition of Mrs. Donnelly. Lane whines as Mrs. Donnelly scoots him into the house. Ludwig follows obediently behind, sitting calmly next to Lane while he throws another husky tantrum. Mrs. Donnelly turns, seemingly used to the sight. “Why don’t you come in for some tea? I bet Laney put you through the ringer.”
Lane’s howl gets louder.
“They do this often?”
“Lane does. Lane will escape and find Ludwig, then bring him back here. I even have Max’s number on the fridge. Ludwig’s owner.” She adds, seeing Vivi’s confusion. “I think Lane might’ve taught Ludwig how to open his gate. It opens from the outside, on account of Lane’s jailbreaking habits. I saw Ludwig nudging at it once. Was that how they got out today?”
“No, the gate was closed.”
“Ah, Lane must’ve figured a different way out. They keep making that fence taller, y’know. But he tunnelled under it and they had to reinforce the bottom. He just finds a way.”
“He’s sure interesting.” Vivi laughs. “I do have to get home though. I’m, uh, Vivi. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Donnelly.”
“Nice to meet you too, sweetie. I’ll return these two home.”
“Thank you.” She leans down and both dogs approach her, nudging for pets. She gets up, turning to walk away, but she hears something odd. She turns, but the two dogs are silent. And so is Mrs. Donnelly.
Lane’s voice. It rings in her head.
His voice?
Not a bark. His voice. His human voice.
Her head hurts all of a sudden.
“VIVI! OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE I COME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW.”
She jolts awake and looks out her bedroom window. There’s the real Lane, with Ludwig behind him in tow. He catches sight of her peeking through her curtain and waves at her. He has his usual charming grin, the same one that makes her forget that he just disturbed her restful sleep. He starts for her front door and Ludwig obediently follows behind him.
Huh.
. . .
“I had a dream about you two last night.” Vivi grumbles. She’s immediately interrupted by Lane.
“Oh baby, is that why you’ve been playing hard to get? You wanted us both?” Lane smirks, looking her up and down. “I don’t usually share, but if it’s with my bro-”
“It was not that kind of dream.” Vivi snaps. “You two were both dogs. Like, actual dogs.”
“What, you tried to eat us or something?”
“You little…” Vivi grabs a pillow and launches at Lane, who lets out a shriek of surprise. She smacks him in the face with the pillow before smothering him with it, pinning him to the couch with her legs. Ludwig snaps into action, giving Lane just enough room that he’s able to take the pillow away. He raises it over her head and she glares daggers at him.
He looks down at her cheekily. “Next time you suffocate me, do it with your boobs, bitch.”
“LANE! YOU-”
“Get off unless you’re gonna ride the Lanester, baby..” He shoots her another grin, laying back with a shit-eating smirk. She jumps back, feigning disgust, but grabs another pillow. A fight ensues, with Ludwig trapped on the side.
It’s going to be an interesting day.
----------
This was actually based on an experience I had a long time ago... Hope you enjoyed it <3 And I hope you caught all the little cameos...
Synopsis: popstar!gojo didn't collect enough good karmic points to reincarnate into something human. instead, he winds up as a speaker, and the irony isn't lost on him. but he doesn't want to keep playing shitty music for a shittier frat party —it's a waste of his talents — so he gets himself thrown into a closet.
but then, a pretty little thing stumbles upon him and he decides he can use his talents to entertain you instead.
Warnings: smut, porn with basically no plot and laced with crack, inappropriate use of a speaker, masturbation, Gojo is a speaker - he can only communicate like Bumblebee, reader is intoxicated, electrocution, this is not a serious fic at all pls know this is satire and I am not insane, lotta music references (might be fun to play some of the songs to get the full immersion), not proofread
Word Count: 2.7k
This is for @madamechrissy's Object!Gojo event. Happy birthday to a very talented lady!!
“Yo, what’s up with your shitty ass speaker?”
Toji groans. “I just got it to work an hour ago. What the hell’s wrong with it now?”
Sukuna snorts and answers, “Shit keeps playing some song called ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’. Not exactly the vibe we want if we wanna wet our dicks tonight, is it?”
The party the frat’s been planning to mark the start of spring break is in full swing — all the sorority girls are here in their teeny tiny bikinis getting all wet as they swim in the pool, the basketball and hockey team keep starting up fights which they’ve placed money on, and pizza’s about to arrive any minute now.
It’s a damn good party.
But nothing’s perfect.
With an aggrieved flex of his jaw, Toji curtly says, “I’ll throw it in the spare room and use the old one.”
It’s bullshit, he thinks.
Life.
His life at least.
He thought he had a fat stroke of luck when he found the heavy ass thing in the dumpster behind some studio. It looked expensive. Like one of those speakers Jay-Z would have. Toji even went through the trouble of carrying it onto his truck, risking his athlete's back just to bring it home to the frat house.
Since he’d set it up, it’d refuse to connect to his phone. At first it kept playing ThatPower by will.i.am but only the first minute, and it’d start up again. He gave it a good kick and could only scrunch his brows in confusion when it changed its tune to some girly song Shazam claimed is by some Nxdia chick, and repeated OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! until Toji started getting fed up.
Of course he didn’t give up on the speaker completely. He kinda figured he could get it fixed, but then some repair guy quoted him money he did not have and would actually kill to get his hands on, so he figured he’ll give it one last chance to get its shit together and then it’s getting dumped in a landfill.
About an hour ago, right as the party was just getting started, he was pretty chuffed with himself when he got the speaker to work. Well, sorta…
It still wouldn’t play the music from his phone, but it did play Yeah! by USHER and he figured that was good enough.
Now, as he walks through the house and he’s getting complaints about the funereal music left and right from all the guests, he’s decided to pull the plug on the damn thing.
“Alright, you piece of shit,” Toji gruffs, waving off even more complaints now that he’s in view. “You’re done.”
As soon as he yanks the plug out, the depressing song stops. Everyone falls silent. Someone sets up their own JBL and puts some Lil Wayne on. The room erupts in cheers. Classic brain dead idiots, he grumbles in his head.
Taking the speaker down the hall is pretty easy; he had a genius idea of putting the speaker on a luggage trolley the frat had stolen from a nearby hotel. And so in it goes inside the spare room where all his frat brothers’ miscellaneous shit goes to die.
“I’ll deal with you tomorrow,” Toji mutters. He gives the thing one last pat on the head and makes a mental note to Google maps the nearest dump.
The door closes on the speaker.
And opens back up not even a second later.
“Oh my god,” you whine out, slurring your words. You stumble inside the closet, tripping over the random shit lying around. “I need to pee so bad.”
You flick a switch on. The room becomes mildly illuminated by dim blue light.
This isn’t the bathroom, you realise. Which might actually be a good thing because Toji’s frat house is not known for its cleanliness. If you find a bundle of pubes on a sink one more time, you’re going to kill someone.
“Huh? What’s that?”
Though your vision is swimming, you can see the massive speaker that reaches about chest level. It looks expensive. And like it packs serious power.
So what’s it doing here?
Falling to your knees, you inspect the cable. It’s not plugged in. Well, let’s see what this bad boy can do, you decide. As soon as it’s inserted into the socket, a blaring noise threatens to deafen you.
“Freedom! Freedom! I can’t move,” it sings. “Freedom, cut me loose! Singin', freedom! Freedom! Where are you? Cause I need freedom too!”
You frown. “Beyonce? At a frat party? Woah, didn’t know Toji’s goons listened to anyone but NLE Choppa. Wild.”
You’re sitting in front of it, blinking right through the speaker curiously. Whose phone is it connected to?
It’s music halts. Suddenly. Comically. Then it begins to play, “Oh, she's a diva—the baddest thing around town. She's nothing like a girl you've ever seen before. Nothing you can compare to your neighborhood whore. I'm tryna find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful.”
A hiccupy giggle escapes you.
“Who? Me?” you ask, though you know it’s just someone changing the song, most likely confused as to why nothing’s coming out of whatever speaker they think they’re connected to.
But, when it very clearly sings, “Yes, baby, yes, yes, baby, yes, yes (huh). Yes, baby, yes, yes, baby, yes, yes, baby (yes, baby, yes),” by Madison Beer, you start to allow your drunken mind to believe that it’s actually talking to you. After all, no one would be caught dead playing a girly ass pop song in the presence of Sukuna.
And are you too drunk or can you feel eyes on you?
There’s a heat in the air that wasn’t there before. It feels like someone’s sizing you up. Scanning your body — your glossy lips, tight top, braless state, miniskirt with an emphasis on mini, and bare legs. And liking what they see.
You place a hand on the metal grille, mostly to balance yourself, and partially because something seems to pull you in. The rough texture tickles your palm. Directly now, you can feel the vibrations of the next song it starts to play from whatever verse it likes, which happens to be the whisper opening of Closer by Ne-Yo.
Was the song always so sensual?
To the point that you feel like you’re being personally seduced?
Odd.
“You’re no ordinary speaker, are you?” you wonder aloud. “What are you?”
Speaker-san changes. It speedruns through a bunch of different songs, none of which you can process fast enough. Within seconds, it lands on a song you don’t recognise. You have to pull your phone out to Shazam it.
“Pop/Stars?”
Seemingly satisfied, it changes again. “Drugs and fucking money. Fucking up this whole thing. Drugs and fucking money. Only thing I need.” And again. “I’ll take tonight and die on this hill.” And once more. “We headed to hell for Heaven's sakes, huh. Well, I'ma levitate, make the devil wait, yeah. Have you lost your mind?. Tell me when you think we crossed the line. No more drugs for me—”
You definitely recognise the last song and you open your mouth to say, “Oh, he’s cancelled so probably don’t—”
The speaker adds one last song: Punisher by Ethel Cain. Specifically the last verb where she sings, “I am punished by love.” Except it lowers its volume when it comes to the ‘by love’ part.
Silence resonates around the closet now.
This must be the part where it wants you to piece things together.
“Okay, okay,” you begin, trying to shake the vodka from your system, “You were a popstar, you did a lot of sex and drugs and bad things, and then you died. You were sent to hell, and your punishment was to…become a speaker?”
It takes a word from Ariana Grande’s yes, and? and repeats it until you’re smiling.
Wow, that was easy.
Sitting back on your heel, you pitifully say, “Aw, I’m sorry. That must suck. And I thought me getting a bad grade on my last essay was the end of the world.”
“I know that I deserve it,” the speaker replies, using Madonna’s voice to communicate his acceptance.
You stroke its side. You feel quite sorry for Speaker-san. It may have deserved punishment for living a life of debauchery, but being stuck in a speaker would drive anyone mad. To be conscious, aware, to be capable of thought and feeling, and unable to do anything about it must be painful. Especially for someone who used to be a popstar.
Being heard is everything to a musician.
Which is what the divine powers must have been banking on.
Maybe…
Maybe you can help make it feel better, even just for the night.
“Say, are you— no, sorry. I mean to say, were you a man or a woman?” The unwokeness of the question dawns on you and you shake your head. “Nope. Sorry. Are you into women, might be a better question.”
When you hear ‘Man who can’t be moved’ by The Script, that answers your first question. And when it plays ‘Ay Ladies’, you know he definitely likes women and makes no apologies for it. Not even when he’s been punished for liking women too much.
Biting your lip, you run a nail down the grille. Its music stutters. “Bend it over? I can do that.”
If you weren’t so drunk, you definitely wouldn’t be turning around and pressing your ass to the fucking popstar-reincarnated-into-a-speaker thing. But you are drunk and you are feeling up Speaker-san, and he seems to like it, if the gradual increase of his volume is anything to go by.
The vibrations, the bass, the thump thump, of the song grazes the bare skin that isn’t covered by your mini-skirt. You feel the metal scratching your thighs. Skirt rising with the slight shake of your ass, you gasp when your clothed pussy makes contact.
“Pussy palace, pussy palace, pussy palace,” it chants, sounding breathless and beyond excited despite the context of the song.
You laugh. “Hell yeah, it’s my pussy palace!”
Round and round, you grind your pussy on the speaker. It weirdly feels good. The grilles are rubbing you right. It’s squishing your puffy pussy lips and catching your clit in its gaps.
But it isn’t enough.
Turning back around, you hurriedly pull your top down to release your tits. The thrum of the soundwaves disrupting the space between you reaches your skin. It tickles your hardened nipples. When you close your eyes, you can almost imagine a handsome man squeezing the fat, tweaking the bud, and blowing hot air onto the sensitive thing.
“Closer—cLoseR!—Cl-Closer!” it pleads, switching between all sorts of songs in a desperate bid to touch you, to feel you.
As soon as your nipples make contact, tits spilling to the side, a long moan is escaping your lips. Oh, the texture is amazing. It’s scraping your nipples just right. The act is filthy. Ridiculous. Shameful.
No one can know.
And no one will.
Not a single drop of embarrassment or trepidation holds you back from rubbing your breasts up and down the grille. The piercing notes of whatever song he’s playing now is shooting straight through your chest, running down your spine, and resting deep in your belly.
A pressure grows there.
The urge to pee arises again; you have to clamp your thighs tight.
“I wish you were in your person form,” you mewl, wantonly stimulating your nipples with the metal.
It really is insane, but the speaker has ceased to appear as a speaker to you. It’s taking the form of a man in your drunken man. A man you swear you’ve never seen before, a man that might have existed in an alternate reality, that was loved and adored by many, and only wants you right now.
Under your breath, you huskily say, “I wonder what you’d do to me right now.”
“I wanna put you in seven positions for 70 minutes, you get it, babe. You got a lot on your mind. And I wanna ease it up and lick it and slip it in. You doin' light scream on that ice cream when I scoop it and dip it in. Unzippin' the tight jeans and that feminine hygiene is magnificent. Tryna show you, girl, I'm different. I get to lickin', and stickin', and lickin', and stickin' it. ’Til the pussy get too wet and it's drippin’.”
Why can you hear the faint murmur of humour? Why do you know that Speaker-san is only half-serious, that he’s aware of the absurdity of the music he’s chosen and yet he has no regrets?
And why, oh why, is it turning you on so fucking bad?
Unable to take it any longer, you jump up and sit your ass on top of him. You’ve taken his cable with you.
“You had a lot of sex, right?” you ask, already grinding your pussy down on the flat surface. “Even as a speaker, you must know how to make a woman cum.”
“Buckle up and take a seat. Hold on tight,” he replies.
Heavy metal blasts on the very loudest setting barely a moment later. Your bones are being rattled, body jostled, ears pounding. Yet you don’t care. You can’t find it in you to care. It just feels too good.
The intense vibrations, the maddening bass, is hitting your clit so perfectly you can feel your juices readily flowing out of you and no doubt leaving a wet mark on his case.
Moan after moan leaves your lips. You don’t have to worry about people hearing; the speaker covers your lewd noises from any prying ears. Plus, you’re sure everyone’s too fucked up to even notice what’s going on in the closet.
At the same time as you ride the music, you grip his cable tight. You stroke it in your hands, rub it against your nipples and in between your tits. You don’t know if it’s doing anything for him. Not until he cuts in through the heavy metal to sing, ‘Right there, keep it right there.’
So you keep going.
You even lick a strike up the cable, eyes rolling back.
It’s as if you’re riding his face and he’s humming really hard around your clit, or tonguing your cunt and groaning right inside. He may be a speaker right now but he feels like a man to you. The story you’ve concocted about him being a popstar in a previous life may not be real but the pleasure is. And it’s in all those facts that you find strength to chase after your orgasm.
In a flash, you tug that cable between your legs.
It nudges your clit. You shriek.
“Yes! Yes! Oh god, so fucking good!”
Electricity pulses through it like life. Little jolts of lightning pinch your clit, resembling flicks of a long and very talented tongue, or the throbbing of an impressive cock. Despite knowing you should be scared of the health and safety hazard you just placed right under your clothed pussy, you ride the cable, the electricity, and the vibrations till you’re spasming and screaming a name you’ve never heard of and shouldn’t know.
The blue light above you flickers.
The walls rumble.
The shelves shake.
People’s confused conversation seeps through the door.
You fall back, head hanging over the edge.
Beneath you, the speaker alternates between lullabies and snippets of pornographic moans from all sorts of different songs.
Deliriously, you laugh. “You’re -hah- trying to soothe me even though you’re -mm- cumming yourself?”
There’s a hint of embarrassment in his action when he turns down the volume, as though he’s a puppy who just peed on the floor. It’s clear he was a manwhore in his past life and has no idea about how to properly do aftercare. Which is fine since you weren’t expecting to receive it from a speaker you basically turned into a glorified vibrator.
Bet it’d feel good to attach a suction-cup dildo to him and have him vibrate it inside…
With that thought, you jump down onto shaky legs. You pat the speaker before placing a kiss on the edge.
A devious grin pulls the corners of your lips.
“You’re coming home with me.”
can't believe you read through the whole thing lmfao
A Much Needed Break (RB x F!Reader X BB) (NSFW) (8.1k+)
((Been sitting in the drafts for a long time but I've finally gotten around to it. Started out as a trashed draft of another fic, but now I've rewritten everything basically. Just a lil something something that's been brewing around my head for ppl who should relax and let the world go by- if just for a while.))
I mean you @where-spar0w-barks....
((Also be warned, omega noncanon indulgence ahead))
A distant crack of lightning streaks across the horizon- just beyond your windows in a flash of arcing yellows and whites. The subsequent crack of thunder followed after, a rumbling that shook against the walls of your crappy apartment. Thankfully, the curtains draped across the windows of your place managed to hide away the sight of the city's gloom at least, leaving only the pattering of rain against glass and howling of wind to set the mood for the evening.
You should have taken one look outside and felt nothing but dread.
Heavy winds and rains meant a godawful commute to work.
It meant cold, wet socks, an hour standing in the rain waiting for your coworker to open up, and the cold bite of the air seeping into your bones through your thin clothes.
Shitty weather also meant equally shitty, pissed-off customers in the same position you're in, seizing their chance to take their poor mood on another person.
That person being you.
So yeah, work should have been a weight on your mind; it should have haunted your trudge to the bathroom and kitchen.
Or it would have been all those things... if you were even going to work in the first place.
However... they wouldn't let you.
They haven't even allowed you to leave past your front door for the last half hour or so.
The two strays you'd picked up ages ago had made themselves comfortable in your apartment, two large men now making the place feel much, much, more cramped than usual. RB had taken off his helmet, tossing it onto the couch and peeling off his wet riding gear. Meanwhile, Werner managed to squeeze inside your living room after stripping down to his tank top and sweats, the mechanic having placed his gear in a neat pile by the entryway just so he wouldn't track any rain inside your place.
Your attempts to shoo them away to the streets were ineffective or outright and very blatantly ignored.
Rude.
The moment the front door opened, RB just... ruffled your hair and patted your cheek on his way inside. BB was right behind him, squinting down at his phone with one hand while the other found its place on your waist to wordlessly herd you back into your apartment.
Even the mention of work seemed to go in one ear and out the other.
"You're just gonna have to call in sick, kitty, can't have you going out- not with how the weather's been. Don't you know how dangerous it can be with the rain?" The massive fucking hypocrite mused, leading the procession into your bedroom and tossing himself right on the mattress as if your place was a second home.
In quite a few ways, it had become a second home to the boys.
The bed frame groaned in response, a stray pillow sent tumbling to the floor where it would be forgotten. The red biker patted the space next to him with a raised brow, RB unable to hide the smirk plastered on his face as he beckoned BB and you over.
Werner managed a huff through his nose at the RB's attempt at humor, still tapping away clumsily at his screen. Whatever he was doing had occupied most of his attention, though there was enough left for BB to help you right back into bed where you belonged.
"Stay." His order was short and clipped, those dark eyes of his drifting over to RB to silently command him to stay close and keep you right there. "I'll... we will take care of you. Just for today."
The last part was a lie, deep down you knew it.
They knew it too.
Both men cared for you in their own ways after all, Werner a silent sentinel watching over you from a normally respectful distance. RB on the other hand, injected himself into every nook and cranny of your existence- ensuring that you could never forget him even if you wanted to.
They'd seen you, your exhaustion, your strain for the past month or so. They had watched you burn the candle on both ends trying to meet deadlines and deal with the most unruly the late night shifts had to offer.
Tonight, it seemed, was where both decided to draw the line.
"It'll be fun," RB fidgeted with his hands, occupying himself by playing with your hair and bringing a small lock of it to his lips. His eyes, playful and brimmed with energy, gave a teasing kiss to your hair just to watch you fluster. "We can watch TV, binge whatever junk food you've got in the cupboards, maybe even paint our nails~."
"She doesn't have anything in the cupboards." BB deadpanned, pulling out one of your drawers and pulling a strawberry scented candle.
Hmm. He needed a lighter first.
Werner raised a hand in the air without looking over at RB, the mechanic catching a tossed lighter with ease before lighting up the candle and placing it right on your dresser. "I... tried to order something. There were some complications."
"'Tried?' Ughhh, I told you to use the app, didn't I?" RB rolled his eyes, raising a hand to beckon at Werner for his phone in exchange for the lighter. "Alright, hand it over Morkheim, I'll do it."
"I told you it would have been easier if I called." but despite the slight irritation in his low voice, BB obeyed, tossing the pink phone over before seating himself on the other side of the bed.
"Just hit the shiny buttons until we order something that's not wrapped in plastic. No offense, sweetheart."
None taken. You knew well what your diet consisted of most days and 'health' wasn't exactly a priority with a budget like yours.
Werner hesitated for a moment, stiff as a board with the edge of his ass seated by you. He ignored RB's teasing words and instead focused more on your proximity, unsure as to whether you'd be comfortable with him getting even closer.
It was only due to your expression, the sight of the exhaustion and relief in your gaze when looking between the two men did he gain confidence, Werner ultimately sliding onto the covers next to you with stiff limbs and an awkward shuffle across the mattress.
He smelled clean or as clean as Werner could be after work. There were only faint traces of gas and oil lingering on his frame tonight, the stronger scent of his soap from a quick visit home before he dropped by your place.
And from what tanned skin touched against yours when he turned onto his side... he was cold, his compression shirt clung tight around his arms and chest where the rain must have gotten him.
"Is... this comfortable? Too much proximity?" He asks hesitantly, eyes flicking over to RB for some kind of cue or warning look from the much more socially adept man. All he got was the sight of the other biker tapping through his phone and happily installing lord knows what into his device.
Useless. RB was going to be absolutely useless here.
And yeah.
He was already beginning to regret handing his phone over so easily.
"Werner, you're fine." Your words are breathy, lighter than normal- more cognizant of the space between you and your bikers. The room already felt small enough, but with BB's chest pressed against your shoulder and RB's arm pressed alongside your other arm: you were now effectively closed off from the world.
"Are you certain?"
"Yes. Really, you worry too much, BB."
Werner smiled a little, how could he not with you? It was a faint and barely perceivable one, undetectable to those save for the ones that knew him well. His dark eyes drifted down to the top of your head, the mechanic leaving a slower, gentle kiss there with a low rumble in his throat.
There was shift of your breath he noticed, the way your shoulders stilled and those lips of yours parted ever so slightly. You tensed, not in the way one did when they were scared or uncomfortable- no. This, this was slower, almost hesitant in a way that made his heart pump just a little faster.
"So," RB chimed in, uncaring of and completely disregarding the moment the two of you seemed to be sharing. All he needed was a record scratch to really seal the deal regarding the abrupt intermission. "We want pizza tonight? Pepperoni? Extra cheese? Ooh- there's pineapple... They've even got a great combo deal on cheesy bread sticks and your choice of sauces if we get a pasta dish."
Silence was the only thing RB got in response, that and looks from both his kitty and Werner on the opposing side of your bed.
The completely unfazed RB looked between the two of you with a raised brow, waving the pink phone in his hand to emphasize the question lingering in the air.
"Well? I already put in her usual. We adding something or what? I got a liter of Sprite tossed in too. Be lucky I'm not tapping into this 5 for 3 deal because I could down an entire pizza all on my own."
Just how much food was he ordering...?
BB paused for a moment, tilting his head. The veteran was so used to communicating and emoting with his helmet on, that without, his mannerisms were somehow more doglike. Sure, a part of Werner was a little pissed that moment had ended at his hands out of all people, but he was first and foremost concerned with your well-being.
That meant your hunger and coziness took precedent over any pettier unproductive emotions about RB.
"Get the pasta. I'll pay for it."
Well now... RB wasn't about to argue with a free pizza. The red biker held out his hand and didn't bother looking up from the itemized list of food on Werner's phone. He waited for Werner to pull out his wallet and toss it over before placing the order in.
"Cool cool cool... soooo," He drawled out, his arm sliding around your shoulders and tugging you away from Werner and over to his side now. "With the storm, it seems like a lot of people are placing orders. I might have scheduled it to come in like, an hour? Two tops?"
"Two hours?! How much did you even order?" The thought of all that food when you had barely eaten anything for lunch was already making your stomach grumble. If you were at work tonight you could have taken a package of Twinkies or pink donuts to tide you over until dinner.
Now? Now you had to wait.
Two hours.
"Awww, come on, kitty, no need to be like that." RB chuckled, his voice lowering into a purr as he looked to meet Werner's harsh gaze. There was a pull on the corner of BB's lip, one of pure disdain for the wrench in your collective plans. "We just need to burn the time a little, help you relax properly for once in your life. No need to worry about the food either, you've got Morkheim to front the cost and the leftovers are going to be so damn good anyway so why would it matter?"
For the first time this evening... when both men looked at each other, there was a mutual understanding.
The matter was settled, you were getting food and getting pampered tonight one way or another.
Werner's hands were the first ones to find you again, more confidence in his touch. Calloused palms trailed up and down your thighs, feeling along your skin and giving slow, firm squeezes. His thumb moved in circles as he went, working the tension from your legs while RB slipped off of the bed.
The red biker tugged his shirt over his head, tossing it haphazardly onto the floor and using his foot to nudge it out of the way. That got a gruff noise to come from BB, the other biker wrapping his free arm around your waist to pull you upright with him.
"She needs rest. Not... that." Werner argued with a disapproving look, jerking his chin to direct the comment at RB who stood proud and shirtless at the end of the bed. His larger frame shifted, the Norwegian now positioning himself comfortably with your back facing him so his hands could reach your shoulder blades and work the ache of lifting boxes away.
Each squeeze and rub was gentle, far more gentle than one would expect from a massage.. but Werner wasn't keen on pushing you tonight.
He was just using what worked for him after work- on you, just... less, he supposed.
"Food's gonna take ages to get here and she needs a break, so it's win-win." RB countered, bending over to take your hand and guide it up his chest to rest on the firm muscle there.
Go on, give me a squeeze he seemed to be saying with that coy smile of his.
"Besides, she's been overdue for a good sleep. No better way to tire her out than with some fun."
It would be pleasurable, that was undeniable. Efficient? Werner wasn't so sure about that.
Intimacy meant cleaning your place afterwards and leaving behind no trace. It meant tending to any bruises and bites and wiping tears in your eyes- leaving you potentially even more drained then before.
Intimacy also meant sharing. And he really really wasn't keen on that.
You weren't new to sex, certainly not with Werner or RB though, even if it was a rare thing for both men to share.
"I wouldn't be opposed..." Your voice caught their attention, any protests Werner had now dying on his tongue. It even got a laugh from RB, the biker reaching for his belt and giving it a tug to loosen the leather strap.
"... I won't permit unnecessary strain. Understood?" BB straightened his posture up, his eyes flicking down from RB to you, ensuring that this was what you wanted.
And it was. God it was.
How could it not be with these two men in your bed like this?
"Sir, yes, sir." RB purred, giving one end of his belt wiggle before offering it to you. He bent down to be eye level, his tongue flicking out to slowly drag over his lower lip.
He was liking the expression on your face, the blush, the need you just couldn't hide away fast enough.
And he needed more.
"Come on, help a guy out, baby girl." RB teased, sliding one end of his belt into your palm and wrapping his fingers around yours.
Go on. Pull.
Unwrap him.
You knew you wanted to- RB certainly did.
BB, not to be out done, moved his hands down your arms. It felt like heaven, those strong and calloused hands slowly working out the finger aches in your frame. But then, his head lowered down to your neck, rough lips parting to seal around the crook of your neck.
His breath was buried against you, his short dark brown hair grazing your jaw as a tongue flicked out- a prelude to the biker kissing and applying pressure to where he knew you would be most sensitive.
The pain started light and barely noticeable- just a grazing pressure as his teeth grazed soft skin. His canines were sharper than the average person, the stinging starting from where they met your skin and webbing as the biker littered your neck with small nips here and there.
Those hands of his didn't like being idle either, one tattooed hand tugged your shirt and bra up in a single yank- exposing you to the elements. The other lay splayed across the underside of your breast pulling you against his chest to keep you from daring to squirm away from him.
The air was sweet and heated, scented from the burning candle but also so fucking cold as they grazed your plump flesh. Just a taste of it was enough to send a shiver down your spine.
That cold was chased away just as swiftly as it came, Werner cupping both his hands under both your breasts, the biker's thumbs now rubbing slow circles around your nipples just the same way he did when massaging you moments ago.
This was simply a massage of a different kind.
And fuck was it good- those worn, scarred hands of his giving you a pleasure no other man could.
There was simply no room for retaliation, no space for you to touch him in turn or do anything- aside from making the prettiest noises for your bikers.
Just the way they liked it.
And, in all fairness, those hands of yours were being occupied by the red biker anyway. RB had a loose grip on both your wrists, guiding them to his hips and crotch. One hand was pressed to his thigh, the other resting right over his crotch.
He didn't let go of his hold once he was done however.
Never intended to.
RB knew BB- knew what the Norwegian meant when you weren't to be strained tonight. It meant every thought, every movement you made was to be guided, every strain or burden carried.
Your only role?
Behave and take it pretty for them.
His larger hands remained wrapped around yours, your fingers secured around the zipper of his fly.
RB had every intention to make it a slow, agonizing experience as one, the teeth of his zipper came apart. And while his hand made sure you peeled him open yourself, his eyes studied every little reaction on that pretty face of yours.
God- he was hard, painfully so. Seeing you so easily worked up, whining under Werner's touch with red cheeks and parted lips. And with those needy, obedient hands of yours on his body- how could he not react?
"You like that?" RB purred, sinking his teeth into his bottom lip, his thumb guided yours right over the weeping tip. The fabric was darker around his briefs, the slick warmth wetting the pads of your fingers as it touched his twitching member. "I certainly do, baby doll."
Fuck- that feels amazing. Your touch- addicting.
It was the only thing running through RB's mind, a low groan slipping past his lips when you trailed your hand along the sensitive vein of his shaft.
He just feels so fucking good when you're the one touching him.
And weren't you cute, being just as good at taking what Werner and RB gives you- their every instruction verbal or otherwise obeyed.
The elastic of his band snaps against his waist when you're made to peel the rest of his bottoms down. RB's erection greeting you with a spring, another slow bead of precum already forming at the tip.
He's eager tonight. Needy, even.
"Mmm- what can I say?" RB's was a little breathless, the biker taking a brief pause to kick off his pants and underwear. Then right back he came, climbing onto the mattress and taking his place between your spread legs.
His cock slapped against his thigh as he moved, eyes darkening as RB watched Werner kiss his way up your ear and jaw. "I like seeing my girl squirm and pant for me."
"Our." Werner corrected, a growl in his throat.
BB certainly wouldn't allow himself to be outdone by RB- especially in this. The other biker wasn't permitted to claim you like that- not with BB around.
You belonged to both of them. Any thoughts otherwise would have to be nipped in the bud.
One of your breasts was released from Werner's hold, the now free hand slipping down your stomach and palming the space between your legs.
Fuck.
Faen.
You were hot down there.
Wet too.
The fact that he could feel it through your panties and bottoms certainly not lost on the mechanic.
BB leaned his head over your shoulder, massaging and teasing your nipple with some light tugs while his large hand palmed and slowly stroked his fingers up and down- tracing along your slit right through your clothes.
No matter how much you squirmed, no matter how much your hips bucked or your back arched- there was no escape- not from him.
He needed more. Needed you to feel more. His hand traveled slowly up, nails digging slightly into the fabric as if lamenting the distance he was putting between his hand and your most intimate place.
Then he slipped his hand under the elastic of your panties, sliding even lower to finally feel you for himself.
You've been overdue for some attention haven't you? You've been needing him. Them- for a long while now.
Far too long in BB's mind. He should have anticipated this- cared for you long before it got to this point.
He wasn't about to let this mistake go uncorrected.
"Get her out of these clothes." He ordered, his voice louder- sharper, than the normal low baritones.
Authority, power, wasn't something he wielded himself- not often. However, he knew his way around orders and control better than most.
And considering the other man in this bed- control would be absolutely necessary for Werner.
RB merely chuckled in response to the order, completely unfazed by the authoritative turn BB had taken. The Norwegian had been calling the shots since the beginning anyway, setting the guidelines and expectations for all three of you.
This was merely... an escalation.
"Lean back, kitty," RB hooked his hands right under your thighs, lifting you with a slight grunt before crawling a few feet forward. Now, your back was completely pressed against BB's chest, your legs forced apart just enough for the red biker to start tugging your panties and bottoms down your legs. "Why don't you show us that cute pussy?"
But then he pulled the fabric down enough to see the wetness for himself.
God he had tried, he really did, to take it slower and tease you. He had been on his best behavior- keeping his own cock in check so that you could be eased into a mind-blowing fuck.
And RB had every intention to continue playing along and not rushing. Hell, just the thought of your hips bucking while you begged for more should have been appealing enough for the red biker to stay the course.
But who had time for that?
RB needed you now, wanted you now, and so long as your little guard dog wasn't biting- he'd take you fast and hard.
At first, he gave your bottoms a hard yank partially down your thigh, then another. RB hooked your legs together with a single hand, unceremoniously tossing your calves over his shoulder so he could finish peeling the layers off in one go.
BB on the other hand continued to tease your cunt between your clamped thighs, his fingers- nice and slicked- parting you and slowly dragging around the entrance.
For Werner, this was a tease, a sign of what was to come. The very tips of his digits starting to push in, stretching the very entrance out each time he did so. Then they would pull out, never giving you the full satisfaction of his thick fingers.
His other hand twisted your nipple all the while, a little rougher this time- reminding you that not a single part was to be neglected tonight.
That cry that came from those pretty lips of yours, the grind of your body against his... it fought against every ounce of control Werner had left. He was hard too- just as hard as RB if not even harder. The length of him was pressed up against your lower back, the tent in his sweatpants hot and firm against your cool skin.
Then it started to move. Forward. Backwards. The bed beneath the three of you gave its own moan at the movement, the bed springs giving to the sway of Werner and your bodies.
He was grinding against you, his hips rolling as he returned to giving more attention to the dark marks now slowly forming on your neck.
That's it. Moan. Mewl even louder for them.
The heat of your bodies , RB tossing your bottoms over his shoulder before spreading you out once more- your legs hooked over his shoulders.
Now, there was nothing stopping BB from having full access to your most intimate place- the mechanic sliding in two just to start you off easy.
A small mercy.
"Eyes on me, kitty," RB laughed, tipping your chin and forcing your eyes to meet. He was even closer than ever before, the pleasure overwhelming your senses at BB's hand leaving you perfectly vulnerable. "Wouldn't want to miss a second of all this, would you cutie?"
Adorable, really. The way you could barely respond in turn.
The biker captured your lips in an all-consuming kiss- his laugh muffled against your mouth. The kiss he was giving you was intense- the kind that erased what little thoughts could be running in your mind and forced your sole focus onto him and him alone.
No. No, he wasn't going to back with this one- not the way Werner would have done in his place.
He was going to consume you. His scent- his touch, his presence, digging its talons into you. Your every hitched breath passing from your lips to his, each moan and muffled cry buried under all the nips of his teeth on your bottom lip.
"Awww, baby babe." RB tilted his head, easing up just enough to let you gasp for air. "We haven't even finished stretching you out yet and you already look cock drunk. We really push you to your limit, don't we?"
"N...No-"
RB pulled away further and let you protest all you want, his movement slow enough to admire the slight bruise on your bottom lip. His tongue flicked out, licking up a stay string of saliva that still connected your lips together.
You tasted sweet... and coppery.
Oh wow- did he manage to draw a little blood from that kiss? Hot.
"Hmmm, I think we should take things real slow again," the biker purred, his hands sliding up your thighs and stroking over where his nails had held on tight. The whine in your throat when he traced over the stinging red crescents, the way your lips had plumped thanks to his apt attention earlier- it was making the idea of teasing and going slow fun again. "Don't you think, Morkheim?"
No response.
BB had already worked in a third finger in during your make out with RB, the way RB revved up your senses making your sex wetter and more pliable in his hands. You were almost there, almost ready for the real fun to begin.
"Oh come on, give me something to work with." RB whined, lifting your right leg and tilting his head to give the ankle a feather light kiss. "You get so protective over her, but even you have to admit it- she sounds good panting and writhing all tight in your arms, doesn't she?"
Even if I'm helping her get there too, the unsaid words evident from the sly wink RB shot BB. This wasn't just an act of care for you, this wasn't just sex- this was competition.
In a way.
Werner had slowed his hips, each grind methodical and punishing as he released your aching breast to tilt your chin ever so slightly. His lips pressed firm against yours, a curl of his fingers making you gasp for him.
The kiss was slower than RB's, almost sensual- the kind that you savor with closed eyes and curled toes.
The kind that overwhelmed your senses in the best way possible.
His teeth dug into your bottom lip, BB's tongue sweeping over where RB had just bruised you in slow, almost lazy flicks. Each time you dared to buck your hips, his fingers pumped even faster. And the faster he went, the tighter the tattooed arm stretching down your midsection was, effectively locking you into place.
BB needed to erase what markings RB had left on you, needed to reclaim every inch of skin the other biker had dared to mark up.
RB, on the other hand, found the attempt amusing. He didn't even mind helping Werner out. With a little effort, the biker hoisted your legs further up his shoulders and parted them wider to prevent any more squirming.
There.
Now, no matter how much you cried out and tried to clamp your legs; BB would always have full access to every single inch of you.
"You see what you do to him, kitty? No need for speaking- just dives right in."
That talkative mouth of his trailed down your ankle in yet another agonizing creep, RB leaving little bites and hickeys along the inner side of your calves and thighs. His tongue dragged along each one to savor the marks, providing you with the slightest relief to the stinging before his head slowly inched lower and lower towards your core.
The sight of him moving downwards got Werner to release your lips, the mechanic's attention finally drawn away from his work on you.
"God, and with a pussy that wet-," His head lowered, mouth parting even more to leave a harder bite on your inner thigh. "- that fucking greedy, it's a fucking miracle Morkheim hasn't-."
He didn't get to finish that sentence.
BB moved fast, his dark eyes narrowed into slits- the hand that had previously been stretching you out snapping forward.
His large scarred hand seized RB by the hair, fingers digging in hard and tugging-
No, yanking RB forward.
"You're too loud."
The other biker didn't even have time to react before his face was forced down hard against your cunt. RB's nose pressed up against your clit, his lips pressed up against your dripping entrance.
For the first time in a long time, RB gave a choked noise of surprise; eyes widening. He tried to pull away almost immediately, not to escape from the heaven between your legs mind you, but just to test Werner once more.
Even trapped like this, he seemed to find immense satisfaction in toying with Werner's patience.
BB's response: readjusting his grip before pressing RB down even harder and eliciting yet another noise from the other biker. A different one this time.
A moan.
RB's eyelids fluttered closed in bliss; lips parted, his Adam's apple bobbing as he hungrily lapped up and swallowed your sweet nectar. His hands took over where Werner had left off, the biker sliding in two curled fingers to rub against your most sensitive spot while he ate you out.
From behind, the pressure holding you down loosened. Cooler air rushed in to fill the space, teasing against the small of your back as BB started stripping down himself. Unlike with RB however, there were no zippers, no straps to contend with.
No, BB stripped down with the silent efficiency of a soldier, his eyes watching as RB held your thighs and forced them tighter around his ears.
And when he finished stripping down, the biker returned to your side just as silently as he had left it. The sounds of your cries and whimpers as RB squeezed tighter and got off on the lack of air he was ignored by Werner. The other man was doing his job, servicing you just the way you should be tonight.
BB's slicked fingers found their way to your back entrance- his chest hovering against your back. He could feel the tension traveling up your spine, the gasp in your breath as the realization dawned on you. And just seeing the flush on your cheeks was enough to get a dark chuckle out of him.
Fuck.
They weren't going to take turns- no- of course they weren't.
Any ideas of you being spared the pain and pleasure of being railed by two muscular men at the same time was foolish. In the past they had taken turns, even had you on your hands and knees while they took you from both ends. But BB was firm tonight. You were tired. Stressed.
You'd have time for rougher play another day.
Werner found himself easily penetrating and relaxing your body- a twitch of a smile on his lips when he saw the way you arched pretty little back for him. Fucking hell- he needed to be closer, his cock twitching at the thought of you squirming again on his lap.
"Lean back on me, you can take it." BB urged, already slipping a second digit in while his knees settled right under you.
His tattooed arm, having long pulled away from holding your jaw in place; wrapped tight around your midsection.
Even with one arm, even with your body fighting back more and more with each squirm and buck of your hips, BB lifted you with ease. It was like you were weightless, the Norwegian settling you right on his thighs with just enough room for him to continue prepping you with an additional finger.
The other man still devouring your cunt between your legs didn't even flinch at the shift in position. Seeing you lifted, being eye level with your entrance as your own slick dripped onto the sheets made RB bite his lip and whine a little from how good it felt.
He was still hungry for you, the way you were flushed, drooling, and twitching at the slightest hint of pleasure a sign of an impending orgasm.
One he was more than happy to give.
RB crawled closer, chasing after you with a purr of pure contentment in his throat. The moment he got close enough, his fingers slid right back into place, fucking your entrance hard and fast.
That's it.
Go on.
Cry for them.
You'll be good, won't you?
"Mmm- fuck, god you're so fucking sweet, kitty." RB purred, letting out a groan that traveled right through you and up your spine. "Don't look so surprised, yeah? You really think we'd play nice tonight when there's plenty of you to go around?"
Werner kissed the back of your neck, leaving stray marks and bites as he moved along your jaw. Your poor body was shivering, hovering over the precipice of a hard earned release.
"Be good for me." BB's low voice was a deep growl against the side of your head, his lips brushing against the shell of your ear as he commanded you. But Werner wasn't entirely without mercy, his lips kissing down your neck, teeth sinking just hard enough to send you over the edge in a mix of overwhelming pleasure and the perfect twinge of pain.
RB gave a loud moan when you came, your juices slipping down his chin and the feeling of your sex pulsing against his fingers. Your cries was music to his ears, the biker redoubling his efforts to ensure you were forced to ride through the pleasure as you slowly came down from your high.
"Mmmn, fuck-," RB pulled away, his entire face flushed scarlet from lust. As he inched forward on his knees, wrapping your legs around his waist, his thumb parted your folds, the biker admiring the way you twitched at the slightest touch.
Cute.
"I think she's all nice and ready, don't you?" RB mused, pulling his hand back to stroke himself in slow teasing movements. He could feel your teary eyes on him, the man fully aware of how you couldn't tear your eyes away even through the sting of your own tears.
"She feels ready." Two hands moved to cup the undersides of your thighs, Werner hoisting you just enough for the very tip of his cock to grind up against your ass.
You were still breathless, every nerve of your body tingling from your climax. And yet RB was lining himself up too, the biker giving his tip a small taste of your still very sensitive cunt with a small testing thrust of his hips.
They weren't going to give you a second of rest were they?
Fuck.
This was going to be too much.
This already was too much.
You knew it as well as they did.
Your lungs burned through gasps for air, eyes still stinging from the tears brimming in your eyes. It was as if every nerve was singed-
Whatever thoughts that could have been brewing in your mind died. Right there, in that moment.
It burned.
But god it was such a good burn.
BB let out a groan the exact moment he felt the tightness of your body stretched around his shaft. He had entered you from the back, giving you the tiniest bounces on his toned thighs to work you all the way down. The pain was complimented, however, by the toe curling euphoria of RB working his cock in a few shallow thrusts.
Both men froze in place, trying hard to rein themselves in so they wouldn't start moving before you adjusted properly.
Still- the feeling of being so thoroughly filled was nothing short of mind numbing.
It is one thing to fit one of the bikers inside you after all.
But two?
The bed practically was crying for mercy alongside you- Werner bucking his hips while his hands kept you suspended in the air with ease.
His grunts of effort were pressed up against your shoulder- mixed between pants of heated air and groans of pleasure. And with each bounce of your body in the air, BB shifted your weight further back, letting you fall back against the broad expanse of his chest for support.
RB on the other hand, folded your legs even further; forcing your knees as close to your shoulders as he could manage.
Seeing you look so teary eyed and delirious on pleasure and pain sent a shock of pleasure up his core.
You looked hot as hell like this, all teary and delirious on cock.
He just needed more...
The biker's tongue flicked out, dragging across his canines in a slow- almost predatory manner as his hips ground against your own to get a gasp from those lips of yours.
Those sharp eyes of his flicked down to your breasts, the red biker's mouth watering slightly in an insatiable carnal hunger before he captured one of your breasts in his mouth. Compared to Werner's fingers, RB was far more teasing, using his tongue to worship everywhere but where you truly wanted him. And with each flick of his tongue, he made sure to only give a feather light touch to there he knew you would gasp loudest.
The little fucking asshole even had the gall to meet his eyes to yours, his hidden smirk pressed firm against your tits.
Damned tease.
Time itself was but a distant concept, your two bikers taking their sweet time in unraveling your every bit of tension. But once that pretty body relaxed under their attentive care, the two began to move faster- rougher with you.
RB's chest pressed hard against yours, brows furrowed as he moaned freely into your ear. You were still so tight even after an orgasm- your cries so fucking needy for them.
And as those cries got more broken and desperate, he leaned in closer whispered filth into your ears. It didn't matter if BB could hear, it wouldn't matter if the whole world did.
He had every intention for you to hear all the of lewd praise that mouth of his could sing for you.
BB, on the other hand, moved in strong, controlled thrusts as he seized your lips in a sloppy kiss. His cock ground hard against your walls, the feeling of both their dicks rubbing against one another through your walls as intense as it was pleasurable.
"Don't be greedy- haaa..." RB panted, leaving a large bite on your shoulder before glancing over at Werner. "I want a taste too~."
Your lips were freed without a fuss, BB ducking down to continue to worship your neck and kiss away stray tears that had slid down your neck. RB slid in right after, uncaring of Werner's taste on your tongue as he moaned his pleasure right into your mouth.
Your reaction or rather, the fact that you could barely form one was clearly a huge turn on for both men.
They certainly liked seeing you try- to play at being coherent, a sudden surge of comradery forming between the two men.
Each time you tried to squirm, they fucked harder- faster.
RB and BB began to trade places, one man swallowing down your wails of ecstasy while the other occupied his mouth with the bruised skin of your neck and breasts. Then they switched, each one doing their part to ensure that you were being raced to a mind breaking orgasm.
Then they switched once more.
RB, with his hands far more free, reached down between your legs. He gave a chuckle when you bucked your hips, the biker tutting at your attempt before dragging the pad of his thumb in a few quick circles around your clit.
The edges of your vision were blurring.
RB couldn't simply be satisfied with just a lewd noise and tears. He needed to see you undone.
He needed to see you break apart on their cocks.
But of course, not before giving your clit a slow, torturous grind around the bud just to hear you squeal in BB's mouth one more time.
Werner on the other hand, was busy listening and watching your every twitch with immense satisfaction. The bubble of pleasure was building in his gut, the noises of his arousal sending shivers down your spine.
He was getting... close, but so was RB.
BB tugged on your bottom lip with his own, unable to hide the smirk of satisfaction on his expression from seeing you cry more. You were almost there, your thighs shaking in his hold- those cries turning into sobs of pure pleasure.
You just needed a push.
You just needed guidance.
That voice of his- the one he knew made you weak in the knees was almost gravely, like a growl had been building up far too long in his throat. His kisses got harder, deeper as he trailed them up your jaw, kissing side of your head before thrusting hard enough to earn him a squeal.
"Louder." He ordered, his hands squeezing your thighs hard enough for you to gasp.
"Look at him."
"Good girl, lean on me."
"You're trembling... hold on a little longer. You can take us."
Precum was beginning to ooze down their cocks at this point, RB's hip movements erratic and the filth he had been moaning earlier barely audible. Werner's movements got slower and harder, their thrusts becoming so out of sync that by the time one man pulled out all the way to their tip, the other was already burying themselves balls deep into you.
The springs on the mattress squeaked and cried under your combined weight, the cacophony of eroticism and lewd sounds loud enough that you wouldn't have been surprised to get a noise complaint later.
But you didn't have time to think about that, did you?
You were close, you were so so close-
Your orgasm came in a pathetic wail, hot tears slipping down your cheeks- the sight helping to finish the two men beneath you at the same time.
Werner came hard not a moment after, his moan only muffled by the press of his lips against the side of your neck. His seed slowly came out in thick droplets, sliding down the shaft with each erratic pump of his hips.
RB came much, much louder, completely disregarding any sense of propriety as he felt your broken name on his tongue. Any pet names, any sugary, flirtatious words dying in his moans. Those toned hips of his bucked even harder, the adrenaline junkie chasing the high of bliss between your legs like a feral animal.
It felt like an eternity, suspended between two men erratically pumping themselves in and out of your aching body. Every part of you felt used in the best way possible, your poor legs tingling from being held up for so long.
It ached.
It ached all over and if it ached now, there was no telling how you'd feel tomorrow night when you clocked into Mad Dog.
But it was well worth it, that you couldn't deny.
"You... you took it well, kitty..." RB breathed, pulling out carefully with a hiss. A weaker moan escaped his lips when he felt your walls still milking his cock, though he eventually managed to free himself with little difficulty. "We... we need to start fucking you like this more often..."
His spend dripped out, further staining the sheets below your prone body. BB, on the other hand, kept himself locked deep inside, his lips brushing against the side of your head and leaving a softer kiss.
A small reward for a job well done.
"How-," Werner let out a shudder, riding the waves of his own release well enough to keep his voice even. His head turned to RB to direct his question, that softer expression he had reserved for you turning neutral. "How much longer until the food gets here?"
RB leaned back, half his body hanging off the mattress to feel around for BB's phone. It had to be here somewhere, surely.
"Hmmm, let's see here." He mused with a breathless laugh, the biker flicking open the screen to catch up on whatever the app was saying. "Oh yeah, we still got time."
BB lowered your body ever so slightly, his head already tilted towards the direction of your kitchen. A glass of cold water, maybe a wet towel from the bathroom... his mind wandered slightly further, your ever stoic protector prepared to give the aftercare you deserved.
Then RB had to open his damned mouth.
"We've got just enough time for another round." the other man purred, reaching a hand down to part your folds just to admire the way his spend slowly oozed out. "What about it Morkheim? I think she can take it. She's a tough one, don't you?"
There was a long silence after, BB flicking his attention down to your fucked out expression. Your lips were parted, cheeks flushed a deep crimson from the exertion from being so thoroughly fucked.
But there it was, a hint of spark left in you.
You could take it.
He knew you could.
"I'll take the front." BB pulled out suddenly, lowering you onto your trembling hands and knees. He got out of bed, slower than he normally would- the only sign of exhaustion in his otherwise pristine form. "But first, she needs water."
___
"Come on, you can say it- I was so much better." RB teased, entirely breathless as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and flopped back onto your now very well-used bed.
Werner didn't say a word, far too worn down to bother with a verbal response. Instead, his hand slid off the bed, feeling around for a moment. Once he found the pillow RB had knocked off the bed earlier, the biker's arm snapped, throwing it with a sharpshooter's accuracy right into RB's face.
RB took it with a laugh, swatting the pillow off the other side of the bed. A sharp ding of an alert caught his attention, BB's pink phone partially covered by the fallen pillow.
Huh. Seems like the food is right on time.
"Careful, provoking him like that." You fell against the mattress, your body and legs crying in relief to feel something other than the sweat slicked skin of your two bikers. Your eyelids were heavy, gaze droopy as BB carefully pulled the covers over your shoulders. "You're gonna get yourself killed with a mouth like that."
"Who? Me?" RB laughed, admiring his handiwork before slipping out of bed to slide on his underwear again. "Maybe, but you know I can take it well, kitty. Now you two wait here, I'll be back with the food."
"Come back in one piece."
"Always do." He waved a dismissive hand, sliding on his bottoms and combing back his hair with his hand. His back flexed with the movement, the sweat clinging to his skin as RB worked his pants on next.
The biker let out whistle as he closed the door behind him, reenergized despite the exhausting session the three of you just shared.
That left you in BB's arms, the other biker giving a silent squeeze to encourage you to close your eyes and finally take the much needed rest you deserved.
the concept of "personal property" is foreign to your roommate. what belongs to him and what belongs to you simply does not exist in the vocabulary of his.
so when you enter your shared apartment after a grueling nine-hour shift, you already recognize the rhythmic buzz echoing down the hallway. it’s the exact same sound you’ve confronted him about three times this month.
you march down the carpeted hallway and throw the bedroom door wide, not even bothered to knock because he certainly didn’t ask permission to breach your space.
and there he is, your thoroughly infuriating, completely shameless roommate, sprawled across your duvet with those absurdly long, pale legs monopolizing the entire mattress. his glasses are askew on his face, the lenses clouded from his own ragged gasps as he rubs your favourite wand's head against his sensitive cockhead—smearing his sticky pre-cum all over.
“gojo!” you snap, your delivery flat and dripping with unadulterated irritation. "you are doing it again?!"
he lacks even the basic decency to look up from his own groin, refusing to acknowledge your presence at the foot of your bed. his chest heaves under an oversized anime t-shirt, hips giving a needy little twitch as the rattle of the motor continues to pleasure his nerve endings. he rolls his head back into your pillows, letting out a shaky, wet moan that sounds nearly pornographic.
“shh… wait a sec,” he pants, his voice thick and raspy; a world apart from his typically fast-talking cadence that usually annoys the shit out of you. “i'm almost there. don’t be mad, it just… it feels so much better than my hands…”
you’ve had the boundary talks. you’ve threatened to lock your door (which he can bypass anyway). you’re tired, your feet hurt, and the audacity of him sitting in your room, treating your personal drawer like his own candy shop without an ounce of shame, makes your blood boil.
you stride over to the bed, and before his overstimulated brain can register the sudden movement, you reach down and wrench his hand away from his grip, sending the toy clattering onto the floorboards.
“hey!” he whines, a petulant, spoiled-brat pout instantly forming on his lips as his eyes finally dart up to yours. “i was literally right there! c’mon, that’s just cruel—”
unable to tolerate his dumb whining a second longer, you drop to your knees beside the mattress and clamp your hand around the bottom of his cock with intentional force. before he can even puff at the sudden restriction of his blood flow, you raise your other hand to land a stinging slap directly across the pink flesh of his tip with a loud smack!
satoru gasps, his spine arching off beautifully as his body spasms from the impact. his vivid blue eyes are now blown wide, blinking rapidly behind his spectacles while a miserable whimper spills from his plush lips. "do you think you can just use my things because you are too lazy to buy your own?"
to penalize his arrogance further, ensuring the lesson sinks into his imbecile brain, you squeeze your thumb and forefinger around the tender skin beneath the swollen mushroom head and pinch, using enough force to guarantee a lasting red mark.
the reaction is instantaneous. the agony of the nip, combined with another slap across his aching dick, pushes his nervous system into overload. satoru releases a startled shriek, his hips thrashing desperately as he tries to wrench his hips away from your horrific grip, thighs jerking against the sheets in a futile attempt to escape the blinding pain.
but your hands are unrelenting, and the torment only accelerates the climax. his cock throbs spastically as if its trying to communicate something using morse code before he erupts.
thick, pearly ropes of cum shoot straight up, splattering across his own flat stomach and the hem of his shirt, dripping down the pale skin of his abs.
“oh god—” he groans, voice cracking as his upper body collapses back into the pillows, the sudden impact knocking his glasses off his nose to land sideways on the mattress. he looks like a total wreck; his mouth hanging open, a thin strand of saliva bridging his lips as he stares up at you with dazed, dilated pupils that consume his baby blue irises.
even as the intense peak subsides, his hips give one final, weak roll against your hand, and he possesses the sheer nerve to smile—a lazy, unrepentant smirk forming on his stupidly handsome face.
“do… do that again,” he whispers, breathless and shameless as ever, cocking his head like an overly enthusiastic bunny. “slap it again for me..?”
pms? tender breasts? don't worry, your ꒰devoted꒱ boyfriend satoru gojo is happy to be your personal bra for the day ౨ৎ 1.1k
fluff ; crack ; suggestive art by @/Rezijellyfish0
It was a morning like any other.
You woke up curled right into your boyfriend Satoru Gojo's side, practically on top of him on the comfortable double bed. You didn't really have much room, not with his habit of lying down like a starfish, but you couldn't blame him – his long limbs just needed to take up all the space every night, and so you were forced to use your boyfriend as a pillow, of course.
Your favourite pillow.
You were awfully comfortable like this, nuzzling into his broad chest as the morning light started to bleed in through the half open window. Yes, so comfortable you could just drift away again... until.
Until those long limbs started to close in towards you.
That was another one of his morning habits, you see. Even for how spread out he liked to sleep, as soon as Satoru started to drift back into consciousness – you were the first thing he'd search for.
In his half asleep haze he closed his arms around you, squeezing you into him with all his might, letting out the most satisfied of hums. Not you, however – the sound that escaped your mouth was somewhere between a yelp and a cry for help.
"Baby?!" Satoru sprung into consciousness in a second. "What's wrong?!"
His bright blue eyes snapped open to see you pouting at him, hands over your already very sore breasts that he had painfully squeezed against his side. "Oh" he frowned, understanding. "It's that week, isn't it?"
You nodded slowly, letting Satoru manoeuvre you on your back so he could rest on his elbow next to you. When you first found out he was tracking your cycle you did call him a freak, but to be honest, it was worth it with how gentle he was with you now.
"Is it really bad?" he asked, tracing soft lines over your collarbone with his free hand. His touch was feather light, his hand apologising to your tender skin.
"It hurts" you exhaled, letting your head sink into the pillow with a long sigh. "They feel heavy"
"Heavy?" Satoru echoed, very obviously looking down to your chest. Naturally, you pinched him. "Ow! What was that for?"
"I'm in pain and you want to check if they're bigger?!" you growled, ready to throw a pillow right on his stupid white hair.
"No no no, you know I think they’re perfect” Satoru apologised immediately, peppering kisses all over your face. "It was for science only"
"Sure" you rolled your eyes, but you couldn't keep the angry act for long, not with your boyfriend's puppy dog eyes so close to your face.
"I mean it, I only want to help" he said, sitting up. And you did believe him – your boyfriend had been trying his best since he figured out how difficult pms was for you.
Last month, he even bought you a personalised hot water bottle with both your initials on it. Baby blue, of course.
You weren't sure who else would be confusing their hot water bottle for yours anyway, but its the gesture that counts.
"Come here baby, I'll help you up" he called to you with wide open arms, but as soon as he started to pull you up, you groaned again. "Is it that bad?" he grimaced, seeing your hands go back to holding onto your sore breasts.
Unfortunately, it was.
"It's ok" you tried to deflect, feeling bad for how worried he seemed. "You don't have to worry about m–"
"None of that" Satoru pouted. "Does that help?" he nodded to your hands, clearly some sort of plan starting to form in that head of his.
"Kind of" you replied, massaging yourself. "Should probably put on a bra" you sighed.
"In bed?!" Satoru shook his messy white hair side to side. "It's unfair" he completed solemnly. And you agreed with him.
But then he opened up his mouth again, with that tone he employed when he was going to suggest something... unusual.
"Why don't you...let me help?"
That made you stop halfway, turning up to look at him. "What do you mean?"
"Just… come here" he said, extending those pale fingers to you. You had one raised eyebrow, but let him do what he had intended – and soon his large palms were closing around your breasts.
"Pervert" you deadpanned.
"You said it helped!" he argued.
You took a moment, considering. You were very used to your boyfriend touching you everywhere, of course, but you had never seen him look so commited about it. It was almost endearing, in a kind of, um, odd way.
"So, what, you'll just be my personal bra today?" you teased.
"If you want me to" he nodded.
"Aren't your arms getting tired?" you narrowed your eyes at him.
"Baby, this is what I train for" he replied smugly.
You let out a little laugh, enjoying your boyfriend's silly plan and how serious he was about it. "You can't possibly keep this up" you joked.
"Wanna bet?"
You shouldn't have said yes. But of course you did.
The rest of the day was spent with Satoru glued to you – more so than usual. "You're enjoying this" you poked him as he stood with his chin on top of your head and his hands right where he promised they'd be, watching you make your morning coffee.
"You wound me, princess" he pretended to sigh. "This is for your own good"
Sure it was.
Later you sat down to watch TV, and Satoru placed you right on his lap, before his hands returned to your chest. "You're ridiculous" you laughed, his chin heavy on your shoulder this time and your back to his chest.
"Is it helping?" he asked.
In truth, it was. He was warm and soft and much more comfortable than a real bra; and walking around like you had been cursed into attachment was lifting your mood as much as it was annoying you too.
His eccentric ways were just one of the things you loved about your boyfriend, after all.
Of course, this all got a bit too ridiculous when you announced you were going to shower, and got followed by the white haired giant all the way into the bathroom. "You can't be serious" you looked up at him.
"I only want to hel–Ow! Ok, I'll be outside"
You laughed, seeing his pout as he closed the door behind him. It was adorable how devoted he was to this stupid plan – and you also couldn't deny you missed his loving touch as soon as he had let go of you.
Maybe he could help you shower too. He only wanted you to feel better, right?
"Satoru" you called, not even surprised when the door opened before you had even finished saying his name.
"Need me?" he grinned from ear to ear.
You would have pinched him again if he wasn't so damn adorable.
my boobs feel like they're about to explode and this is what came of it I don't know what else to say
bcs i love him so much and i need a ludwig fanfic 😭 so i made one 😛 sorry if it sucks its my first time ever making a fanfic ☹️
“Never meet someone online in real life!” “Stranger danger.” Is the type of stuff people usually said when they heard about your online boyfriend before you met him offline, that was about a month into your relationship.
MDNI! 18+ Quick makeout sesh, cussing and vulgar language, you get blue balled at the end bcus this fic has two parts xD. half proofread… 8767 words!
Well jokes on those losers! ‘Cus two months in, you and your man met in a cafe after finding out your workplaces were right next to eachother. When you saw him for the first time oh, ZOO WEE MAMA, LIGHT BROWN-BLONDE HAIR TIED INTO A PONY TAIL, A CUTE PEEK OF HIS UPPER CANINES STICKING OUT OF HIS LIP, AND OH FUUCK THOSE MOLES ALL OVER HIS NECK DISSEAPERING DOWN INTO HIS HOODIE… you couldn’t help but wonder how far those moles went. Who cares if he was abit funky. Safe to say you were obsessed and fruitfully spoiled your boyfriend with A LOT of love ever since that moment.
Three months later it’s already your fifth month dating but all you and Ludwig have done is a quick kiss here and there, some hugs, and handholding. It was really sweet but you were just a super perverted chud who wanted to get your BACK BLOWN OUT by your man! Totally your fault since you’re usally gentle around your boyfriend which caused him to treat you like glass, so you decided to make a change. You took the initiative (like usual) to ask him out on a date for your fifth monthsary, the location? Your home ofcourse!
No ulterior motives for that location… None at all…
“Bub? You goods?” A raspy but soft-spoken boyish voice squeaks out snapping you out of your thoughts, it’s Lub’s voice and you melt. He called you bub might sound weird but he says its better than calling you baby or princess. Plus he told you its because he’s Lub so your Bub. “Oh yeah- Don’t worry just zoning out Lub.” You forgot, you were just cracking open and pouring two Dr. Peppers into some mugs you own, you hand him one mug with a smile the soda inside it. “Just thinking about how much I love you.” You shamelessly say with a playful smirk on your face, your boyfriend who was taking a sip of his drink chokes on it he pulls the mug away “UHM!-” He coughs, lighting punching the center of his chest “OH?!- ASHWKDKI-I-I LOVE Y-you too??...” Lub turns away covering his face with his mug as his cheeks turn beet red “Atleast let me have some prep time before you sweet talk be me bub….” He chuckles, before putting the mug down on the counter.
“Your so… different today…” He mutters under his breath looking down at you his eyes curious, you tilt your head abit worried “What do you mean by different?” You decided to step outside of your usual sweet persona and be more yourself with him but if he didn’t like it- “You feel more real.” Once again his voice makes the thoughts in your head disappear, it was always like this even though he’s so childlike sometimes… He always knew what you needed, what you wanted to hear not in a way to placate you but in way that he believed it too. “I dont mean it in a bad way! It’s just, your smile finally reaches your eyes and your basically like- glowing right now, If you get what I mean… Your just so pretty sorry, I dont know what to say or how to act.” He says softly his hand reaching to pat your head gently, hand slowly moving down to intertwine with your hair gently twirling it “Oh…” Is all you can mutter as his hand cups the side of your face carefully he leans down and you lift your head up closing your eyes as Ludwig kisses your forehead lovingly, its chaste and quick he pulls away looking down at you eyes sparkling like your the only one in this world.
“You’re so yum-” You pause for a second before quickly recovering. “I mean cool… Yea…” His expression of calm quickly switches to confused and flustered his hand on your cheek twitches “Wait wha?- Were you about to say yummy??” You grab his wrist pulling it away to shake it playfully while laughing in an almost maniacal way out of embarassment your thoughts spilled out for a second. “What? YUMMY?? Who says YUMMY? Not I for sure! Your just hearing things!” You say through fake laughs. “I swear I heard yummy, didn’t know you think of me that way bub-” “YOUR HEARING THINGS” You reach out, pinching his lips between your fingers and he just… Stands there, you stand there, you both just stand there in your kitchen your fingers literally holding your boyfriends lips like its a weed and you can’t help but die alittle on the inside.
After a good minute of silence, you stare up at him feeling his body tremble and you worry its from anger but his hands suddenly holding his stomach as a bunch of Ludwigs saliva is splutters out at you right in your face!!! You let go of his lips yelling “EW!!-” Your boyfriend bursts out in laughter as he falls to his knees “I CANT BREATHE- HAHAHA-” You quickly wipe the saliva off your face with your sleeves, you look down at your boyfriend huddled over and wheezing “OH. MY. GOODY GOD. YOU GOT ME OVER HERE ACTING LIKE FUCKING SQUIRTLE.”
You crouch down confused trying to help him get up, even though you like playing games you were never really into pokemon so you asked the first “Squirtle? Does she squirt as an ulti or something?” Ludwig is basically gasping for air right now “PFFT- WOULD YOU GIVE A GUY A BREAK?-” You frown “Did you just quote Alex the Lion?” Ludwig has that stupid half smirk plastered on his face and you can’t help but sigh and he shrugs.
“The tribe has spoken.” He deadpans. Your your lips press together into a thin line “That doesn’t even make sense Lub, stand up before I make you feel what the survivor cast had to go through.” You grumble as you FINALLY help him stand up right. His laughs have gone down into small chuckles as he looks at you with so much joy in his eyes.
You giggle a small warmth rising to your cheeks, you tip toe to hold his shoulders. You push gently leading him outside of your mini kitchen to your comfortable bed, you live in a studio apartment. It’s decorated very cozily, the apartment is lit with a warm orange that casts over the whole area with plants, figurines filling up the shelves and plushies scattered everywhere in a disorganized but clean way.
Suddenly your hands roughly push Lub down to the bed, you laugh loudly seeing your tall lanky boyfriend falling forward comically onto your bed. He gasps loudly pretending to be offended “Wuh the fuckk??” He laughs, a sweet hearty sound that makes you blush, gosh he’s just so ADORKABLE when you mess with him… “Bub! How’d you get so strong???” He smiles brightly shuffling across the covers to take off his sneakers messily to sit cross-legged on your bed, he looks up excitedly at you only to get caught off guard with your hand on his face grabbing it with abit more force than expected his eye flicker down to your chest surprised at the proximity of your body before quickly looking back up at your face that leans down near his, you smile and he whines.
“W-wassup Bub?” He tries to sound chill he gulps audibly, trying to speak but it gets caught in his throat as your tthumb presses gently into his canine “Pretty cute.” You hum, Oh shit. Is the only thing Ludwig can think of as his breathing turns shallow and fast, his heart sounding like its about to burst out of his chest and his head tilts, leaning into your touch obediently. “Yea?” He responds breathlessly. “Should’ve asked this earlier into our relationship but what do you call this uhm, teeth displacement specifically?” You ask, trying to hold back a smirk. He gets so sensitive when you touch him anywhere, a blessing in disguise really.
He laughs, well tries, it just sounds like a weak scoff as he looks away “Forgot. the dentist called it a erotic eruption?- No wait, maybe a erection eruption.” Your boyfriend tries to joke a playful half smile on blooming on his lips, “You’re funny.” You chuckle and so does Ludwig “Wanna experience an erection eruption right now as a reward?” You lick his lips and he flinches. You both never used tongue before so when your thumb moves from his canine to his bottom lips his mouth immediately opens up allowing your tongue easy access into it.
What happens next is a blur for Ludwig honestly. Tongues are clumsily wrapping around each other as two basically virgin amateurs are trying to make out, suddenly it's so hot in her room, the kiss? it’s so messy and fucking good… Ludwig whines into his girlfriend's mouth as she straddles him while he’s lying on the bed, he leans back into the bed from letting her take control of the kiss, he grinds into her through her clothes, so desperate. He always thought his sweet girl was, well sweet and innocent so this enthusiasm of hers was not unwelcomed. Matter of fact he could get used to this.
A Little Pick-me-up (Serkan Kacar x F!Reader) (NSFW)
((Very very tiny writing today, mainly bc I don't have it in me to do another 3k Serkan fic. I also wrote him yesterday so I wouldn't want to spam.
I'm only making it because Maz feels even more sick so I hope you get better soon and remember to drink lots of fluids if you see this Maz!!))
Everyone has had their bad days, Serkan Kacar certainly no exception to the rule. He had fucked up a job, accidentally broke a carburetor that would need to be reordered and of course, landed himself with the extra overtime and task of closing up shop all on his own.
He tried to be positive, reassuring you over text that he'd be home and to care for Pamuk, but it became concerning when midnight struck and Serkan still hadn't finished working.
The poor mechanic was running on fumes, down to his last monster energy drink and up to his elbows in oil and grease. What he need was a break, a reprieve.
What Serkan needed, was a proper pick-me-up.
"Prenses- oh, fuck," There was a dull clang of metal as the mechanic threw back his head, the locker door behind him rattling in the late evening. The fluorescent lights were burning his eyes, the stray moisture stinging as he tried to maintain composure.
But how could he? Not with how hot and humid it was in the Sweet Leash Motors locker room. Not with how warm you were wrapped around his cock.
His lungs burned for air through his mask, Serkan holding both his arms in the air to refrain from holding or tugging on you down there. His instincts screamed at him in protest, wanting more, needing more movement, but he promised you didn't he?
He promised he would be good.
And being good for his Prenses- his princess, meant no touching.
Then he felt the push, the slick drag of your lips down his shaft. When your nose met his groin, buried deep he could only let out a pathetic muffled moan.
He thanked the heavens, thanked himself for having the foresight to make... 'preparations'. To keep himself nice and trimmed down there just for you.
There was a small resistance at the very tip of of his sensitive member, it takes a moment longer than he'd care to admit for Serkan to realize it's you he's hitting. But then you push harder and he feels the give as the wet heat travels through his core and to the rest of his body.
God, he must be burning, his face- his ears too- they all have to be red hot. Serkan's instinct is to avert his eyes a little, to clamp his hand over his filtered mask and stop his trembling legs.
As you hallow out your cheeks and pull back, the mechanic finds himself almost buckling, your name a breathy prayer from his lips as Serkan looks down to meet your eyes.
Oh...the way you look at him, the way you're making him feel... Serkan had to dig his nails into his hands hard to keep from blowing prematurely. Even the sight of your saliva dripping from your chin and onto the cold tile was so fucking hot.
Without thinking, he reached out a trembling hand. His fingers curled around your chin, his eyes lidded as he wiped away a bit of drool.
Then your hands, the ones finding support on his thighs squeezed in a silent reminder.
Behave. Right.
No touching.
Serkan held his hands up again, angling his hips closer to beg for more attention as you resumed your work on him, the stress of work and closing up the garage melting with each slow, agonizing bob of your head.
