Her hands run over his broad shoulders as he rolls them, lulling his head from side to side to get loose. Her eyes bare into his - they have the same fire, the same intensity. She looks like she could go out there and fight just as well as he could. Maybe thatās why he loves her so fucking much. Her fingers lift to the curve of his neck, creeping up to his nape and intertwining with the short little hairs that rest there. He leans forward, pressing his forehead to hers.Ā
āYou ready?ā Her voice is light, the way most feminine voices are, but her tone is heavy, dripping with power and pulsing with determination. āFrank, answer me.āĀ
āYou know I am.ā
āThen show me.ā Sheās barely got her words out by the time his lips meet hers, passion and fire and electricity and everything that makes for a goddamn explosion. Her hands are in his hair, gripping harder than before, trying to unlock that little thing that makes him who he is. They can hear footsteps approaching, but thatās never stopped them before. Prefight rituals arenāt easily adjusted.
āItās about that time.ā The voice comes from Curtis, and when Frank pulls away from his girl, he can see the truth to that statement; everyone in his corner is gathered. Itās showtime.Ā
She smooths down Frankās hair, brushes off his pullover before pulling her own hood over her head. The team walks in synchronization, damn near militant as they hit their mark. And when the announcer croons the name āFrank āThe Punisherā Castle,ā hoods are up and the show is on. No smiles or niceties. She isnāt in a pretty dress, waiting in the audience for her baby to win. No, sheās right there in his corner, the same skull on her hoodie as he dons on his shorts. She doesnāt wait for him to win, sheās the reason he wins.Ā
So when he steps in the ring, heās ready. He always is. He takes off his hoodie, tossing it to the side. The crowd is noisy, but he can barely tell. His mind isnāt on it. His mind is never on it. Heās mapping out his first move, and then the one after that. Right hook to the body, switch it up with a southpaw to the face. Get him on the ropes and donāt let him up. Itās a game, and heāll win. He always does, because she wonāt let him do anything less.Ā
The fighters touch gloves, a sign of mutual respect even though someone is about to get the fear of God knocked out of him. As Frank takes a step back, he sneaks a look into his corner. Curtis is already watching like a hawk, ready to coach him for any mistake he might make. But her - fuck, she looks ready. Sheās eyeing Frank like sheāll knock him dead herself, and heād let her.Ā
A bell signals the start of the round, and Frank shuts out everything around him. Back to autopilot. Back to the game. The fighters in the ring dance around each other for a few seconds, sneaking in for testingly soft jabs and weaving back out. Frank knows this maneuver - he watched this guyās fights. Puts up light work for the first three rounds to distribute his energy better. Heās done the math - this fight should be over by round 5. Frank can only hear the sound of his own breathing as he moves in for a right hook to a body, knocking the other boxer off his rhythm. He switches his stance fully, going southpaw for a left jab to the face, following it with another right body shot. The fighter stumbles back, tries to lock his arms under Frankās before the referee breaks it up. Frank wastes no time, firing uppercuts to the body to get the fighter on the ropes.Ā
The world slows down. The only sounds that the Punisher can hear are of his own making - his breaths huffing out against his opponentās skin, his own heart thrumming against his ribcage, his gloves slamming into the fighter on the ropes. And then a voice: feminine. Light and heavy. Powerful and determined. āStop playinā with him, Castle. Letās do some killinā.ā
Spoilers for TWD seasons 8 and 9!! Enjoy this fluff drabble with slight angst. You can find this piece on my AO3 (link in bio) or by searching #raewroteit.
The sound of running water is one of Rickās favorites. Not a stream or flowing river, but the sound of the tap or the shower as water spurts out of the faucet and pads onto whatever surface rests beneath it.
That sounds stupid, he knows, but itās true. Itās domestic. Steady. It drowns out the sounds of whateverās happening outside. It makes Alexandria feel like a real home. From his spot on the couch, Rick can hear the shower running across the hall in the bathroom. Michonneās been in there for a while, and he can imagine her tip toeing around the water so as not to get her hair wet. The thought alone is enough to make him smile, running a hand down his face. His fingers stop along the rough beard that covers his cheeks and chin. Itās long enough for him to stroke contemplatively now, although Carl would probably have very choice words for his father if that ever happened.Ā
Speaking of the devil, the teen walks into the room, bandages in his hand to use for his eye. āSo Iāve been thinking,ā he starts, setting the wraps down on the table and trading them for a rubber band that he can use to tie his hair back momentarily, āI wonder where I could find an eyepatch.āĀ
Rick snorts, looking up at his son in disbelief. āAn eyepatch?ā He repeats, skepticism clear in his voice.Ā
Carl doesnāt seem to notice (or care); he wraps the bandage around his head and over his eye with the finesse of someone whoās been doing it for a while (he has). āYeah. I mean, you donāt have to change an eyepatch every day. And it wouldnāt cover up my whole face like this does.āĀ
Eyepatches remind Rick of the Governor, and thatās probably the last person he wants to have on his mind right now. He doesnāt speak, but his face seems to relay that message to his son. He has a knack for using facial expressions to communicate full ideas. Carl gets the point, sighing as he takes his hair down, ruffling it up a bit. āJust thinking out loud.āĀ
Rick shrugs, hearing the shower stop running. āYāaināt ever said anything about an eyepatch till now,ā he observes. āWhyās it important to you?ā The younger of the two doesnāt respond, his face growing red. Is he blushing? That makes it pretty obvious. āWhat, Enid?ā
Carl groans, moving quickly toward the door. āI gotta go,ā he says, rushing to grab his gun off the mantle and get the hell out of there. Once the door shuts behind him, Rick lets out a full laugh. But, shit, itās good for Carl to be around girls his age. Last time there was someone like that in the group was⦠fuck, it had to have been Sophia. And God knows how that turned out. Regardless, Rick is glad Carl has someone to spend his time with. The worldās different, but some things never change. Kids always have to grow up.Ā
Michonne leaves the bathroom in a tank top and jeans, her hair still up in a messy bun. She smiles at Rick, walking past him and heading straight for the kitchen. āDid Carl leave?āĀ
āJust now,ā Rick answers. āJudithās asleep.āĀ
Michonne doesnāt respond, but she leaves the kitchen with a knife, a lemon, a jar of honey, and a bowl. By now, Rick knows what this means. He watches as she cuts the fruit, squeezing the juice into the bowl and adding honey from the jar. āYou know, you gonā have to teach me how to do that one day.āĀ
The woman narrows her eyes, full lips curving up into a confused smile. āDo what?ā
Rick gestures to the bowl, taking it and swirling his finger in the mixture the way heās seen her do it before. āTwist your hair. I could help you, yāknow, so you donāt have to do it all by yourself.ā
Michonne laughs softly, one of those āthis white boy drives me fucking crazyā kind of laughs. She pulls one of her locs from her ponytail, covers her fingertips with the honey mixture, and spreads it over the root of her loc. āNo, you donāt have to do that.ā She rolls it roughly between her palms. Itās like using a stick to start a fire, Rick notices. Yeah, he can do that. Simple. He gets off the couch, sitting behind her and dipping his hand in the bowl.Ā
āSo what do I do withā¦ā Rick trails off, his fingers catching on new growth that isnāt in a loc.
āJust use the honey to stick it on the dread itās by. And then roll it like Iām doing.ā Michonne finishes one and moves on to the next. āAnd you better not pull too hard, either.ā
They fall silent as they get to work on her hair, and Michonne finds herself impressed by how few times he fucks up. After a while, Rick speaks up. āYou think weād be able to find an eyepatch somewhere āround here?ā
Michonne turns toward him, just long enough for him to see her scrunched up nose, then turns back around. āWhat, you gonna do a Governor cosplay?ā Her tone lacks humor; she sounds disgusted.Ā
Rick puts her at ease. āItās for Carl. He doesnāt like the way he looks with that bandage over his face.ā
The dreadhead snorts, starting on another loc. āSince when does that boy care about how he looks?ā
āSince thereās a girl around who might care,ā Rick answers, a hint of excitement in his tone. āIt might be good for him.ā
Michonne shakes her head. āIf she likes him, sheāll like him with that bandage on his eye. I donāt want my son changing himself for anyone, let alone some stupid girlā¦ā She trails off, only hearing her own words after sheād spoken them. āShit, I didnāt mean that.ā
Rick drops the loc in his hand, his gaze fixed somewhere far away as he shakes his head. āNo, I - I know what you meant-ā
āNo,ā Michonne says firmly, turning completely to face Rick. āI shouldnāt have said that.ā
The man is quiet for a moment, a thumb and forefinger coming up to rest at the corners of his mouth. His hand drops down to his lap as his eyes meet Michonneās. āWeāre a family.ā The woman opens her mouth to respond, but Rick shakes his head again. āWeāre a family, Michonne.ā They sit in the moment, not quite sure what just happened, but not ready for it to end. Rick doesnāt know what marriage looks like in this world - with Glenn and Maggie it was one conversation. Rick canāt tell if thatās the one he just had with Michonne, and he doesnāt care to think about it either. She finally nods, turning around and working on her hair again.Ā
They donāt ever talk about what was said that day. Thereās no reason to. Because after everything - after Carl dies and after Rick dies, after RJ is born and after Judith grows into her own person, Michonne knows that itās true. The Grimes family is just that: a family.Ā
The truth is, our weakness is the same as anyones. Itās people. The people we care about. So I say, cut them loose. For your good and for theirs. That way youāre really bulletproof.
Labor Day = Pay Attention to Your Significant Other
This (and all my other fics) can be found on AO3 @/punishers or by searching #raewroteit.Ā
Or: Frank Castle is baby and Karen Page is busy.
This never happens, so you really canāt blame Frank for being excited.
Itās rare that he ever gets time to relax. This isnāt news, really - heās never been the person that could just sit around and do nothing. When he was younger, his body ached for the opportunity to go out and do more dumb shit and get himself into more trouble. And once he met Maria, he was always moving nonstop, trying to do something to impress her. Buy her some flowers even though he knew sheād wind up killing them, watch her favorite movies so they could have something to talk about that he knew sheād enjoy. With the kids, Frank was the Best Dad, always ready to play. It seemed like they were always right there with another story line for Sunday afternoons - Frank, Jr. and his favorite toy fire truck and Lisa in her princess costume. Frank was constantly playing a role, and the character of the Father Who Has No Fucking Idea What To Do But Is Trying His Best was his forte.
In Afghanistan, Frank was all go, go, go, and the times when he had nothing to do were worse than the frantic moments he spent dodging bullets. He plucked at his guitar strings until his fingers were raw - he didnāt mind it as long as he had something to busy himself with.
And now, with his new⦠āline of work,ā Frank never gets time off. Sick days donāt exist. He spends the daytime writing plans and researching his next hits, and his nights are spent carrying out his missions. He comes back to whatever hole in the wall heās calling home, rests and heals as much as he can in a 6 hour period, and then starts the whole thing over again. Itās life on autopilot, and thereās not much room for anything else.
Thatās why Frank was so goddamn terrified when he fell in love with Karen Page. Beyond the obvious dead wife issues, she was an amazing woman, worthy of all his time and attention, and that simply wasnāt a commitment he could make. Thatās when he learned a valuable lesson: Karen Page is a Strong, Independent Woman who is busy enough as it is and she couldnāt care less about his little date nights and romantic gestures.
Maybe thatās why they work so well together. Nothing matters - not how long theyāre apart or how long itās been since he got a phone call from her. They love each other too much to give a fuck.
And on one lucky Labor Day, Karen is home from work and Frank has minimal plans for tonightās Punishing.
And this never happens, so you really canāt blame Frank for being excited.
Unfortunately for him, although Karen is sitting on his (mildly blood stained) couch, sheās not paying him any attention. Instead, sheās tapping away at the keys of her laptop, working on her next paper for the Bulletin. Frankās on the couch next to her, his eyes glazed over as he watches reruns of The Office. (She always watches it whenever she comes over. Frank isnāt a huge TV watching guy, but Karen likes it so much that itās kind of grown on him.) Heās been making little noises, shifting his body weight to get her to notice him. Eventually, heās had enough.
āHey,ā he says in a quiet voice, his middle finger poking at her side. He moves again, this time so that heās lying down on his back, the top of his head pressed to her outer thigh. Frank can feel the heat off the computer in Karenās lap, but heās not worried about that right now. āMaāam-ā
āIām busy,ā she says, the last word nearly a whisper. Karenās gaze flicks down to meet Frankās, her eyebrow quirking up in warning.
Hmph.
Frank whines again, huffing sadly (you know, like the Punisher does). āFirst time we been able to hang out in weeks and this is how you treat me?ā
Karen juts out her bottom lip, looking down at Frank with a sympathetic look. āI know. Look, give me three hours, okay?ā Frankās unimpressed expression prompts Karen to flash him her best puppy dog eyes. Not for long, though - soon enough, her eyes are fixed on the screen once again.
If Frank knows anything - if heās ever known anything in his entire life - he knows that heās not going to survive three more hours with no attention. So he does what any other person would do. He makes the most logical decision he can come up with.
āCan I just eat your pussy?ā
Listen. Frank is a simple man. He has a very short list of hobbies and talents. Giving head, however, falls in both categories. Itās a means of pleasure for himself and for Karen, so he sees this as a win-win situation. Thereās no way sheāll say -
āNo.ā What the fuck? āDid you not hear me say Iām busy?ā
Frank is already getting down on his knees in front of her, his hands resting on her knees. āYou can be busy. Iām trying to make myself busy, too.ā She makes a sound of protest, but he cuts her off. āThereās no effort on your part here. Can I just - cāmon, girl.ā
Karen stares down at Frank, trying to keep a straight face although she wants to laugh in his desperate attempt for some kind of physical attention and affection. She lifts the computer off her lap, placing it on the armrest of the couch before sliding her pants and underwear down to her ankles. āGo nuts,ā she tells Frank, the top half of her body pivoted so she can continue working. āThis better be worth it.ā
Frank can hear the rapid taps of the keyboard as his lips attach to her clit. He swears he can hear her inhale sharply, but he canāt tell for sure. Heād never really noticed how much concentration it takes to give good head until now. The fact that he knows that sheās not paying any attention is bothering him. Itās almost making it less fun, but as he continues, he eventually hears little whines from her and gains his confidence back. Is it the most enthusiastic and satisfying head heās ever given? Not by a long shot! Was it worth it? He thinks so!
Frank sits back when (s)heās finished, wiping her slick off his face and licking his fingers and lips. āThank you,ā Karen says softly, a sweet smile on her face. She doesnāt bother pulling her pants back up before she sets her laptop on her thighs and continues working. āBut youāve gotta go now.ā
Frankās mouth falls slack. āOkay, now hold on-ā
āThat was for you. That was for your benefit. I told you I was busy.ā
āThis is my house, Karen!ā Heās whining now, his voice ticking up in pitch rather than dropping lower as it does when heās moved by anger.
Karen doesnāt respond. Itās probably because she couldnāt give less fucks whose house it is. She has a paper to get finished. Frank can respect that. It doesnāt stop him from walking away slowly, his head drooped down and his steps tiny and shuffled. It also doesnāt stop him from jerking off the hard on he acquired while pleasing Karen. At least he has time for a nap while she works.
You can find this on my AO3 along with all my other fics (link in bio), or search #raewroteit.
A = Aftercare
Aftercare and post-coital cuddling are very important to Frank. To him, theyāre a part of the sexual act; he would never neglect or ignore someone after sex, no matter the context. Heās touch starved, so heās going to take every moment of that tired bliss and use it to be as close to his partner as humanly possible, making sure theyāre comfortable and feeling okay physically and mentally.
B = Body part
Frank has never really thought about the parts of himself that he likes. Everything about his body reminds him of how dangerous he can be -- his hands and arms and chest. Heās all boxy and brute strength. Maybe his thighs are okay. He likes the way they ache after leg day and the way his partner loves getting themself off by rutting against the strong muscle.
As for his partner, thereās not a single part of their body that Frank isnāt totally enamored with. The swoop of their neck is the perfect place to bite, leaving marks that theyāll try to hide in the morning to no avail; their jaw is sharp and always ready for the kisses that Frank never fails to pepper across it; their chest is Frankās favorite pillow; their hips were made for him to hold on to; their legs are soft and whatās between them is even better. Frank is completely obsessed with his partnerās body and making sure they feel as beautiful as they are.
C = Cum
Frank isnāt typically one to be very fascinated with cum, so he doesnāt have a particular preference. It would really be up to his partner. He wouldnāt have any qualms with cumming inside them or in their mouth, but if their partner wanted it somewhere less vanilla, like on their chest or ass, Frank might need some convincing. Heās usually a pretty clean person, so this might gross him out a little. It would take some getting used to, but if Frank knows that his partner enjoys something, itāll excite him too. Their pleasure turns him on more than anything.
D = Dirty Secret
Frank has always wanted to have outdoor sex with his partner, but heās too nervous to ask. It seems so outlandish to him -- so nasty and simply not his style, but he canāt push the idea of fucking his partner against a tree out of his head. He loves the outdoors and he loves his partner. Having them both at the same time would be heaven to him.
E = Experience
To be honest, Frank isnāt the most experienced when it comes to sex. He lost his virginity in high school to his only serious girlfriend. Then there was Maria. Then that one night with Beth. And now his current partner. Sure, heās had sex plenty of times, and he knows what he likes, but he hasnāt been with many people, so first experiences are often awkward and trying. But once he gets to know his partner, what they like and how they fit together, everything would be smooth between them.
F = Favourite Position
Contrary to popular belief, Frank is the Softest man in the world and also a Bottom. His favorite positions are whichever ones allow maximum skin on skin. He wants to hold hands, kiss lips, squeeze thighs, and caress hips. He loves to have his partner on top and in control of their own pleasure.
G = Goofy
For the most part, Frank is serious. But with someone he loves, he allows himself to be more vulnerable and simply enjoy the moment. Sex can be awkward, and Frank has no problem with laughing it off and moving on. He likes when his partner throws out jokes spoken through moans. They laugh out of breath, they smile into kisses. Itās love. Itās safe for him to be himself here.
H = Hair
Heās a military man. Frank keeps himself well groomed, trimmed but never shaved.
I = Intimacy
There is no one on this earth who values intimacy more than Frank Castle. Sex is really important to him ā heās in it for love and his partnerās gratification, not his own selfishness. Sex is intimacy in his book. He wants every time to be something special because he wants his partner to be able to feel exactly how much he loves them.
J = Jack Off
Frank is used to long periods of time away from his significant other, so he (as most are) is well versed in the art of self stimulation. Heās not a huge fan, though. For the most part, Frank only jerks himself off when heās stressed or in need of release. Of course, there are nights when his significant other is on his mind and heās in no position to see them any time soon. On those occasions, heās got plenty of mental images (and maybe some physical ones, too) of his partner to get him through the night.
K = Kink
Listen. Thatās just not who he is. Itās been said before: Frank gets off on satisfying his partner. If thereās something that they like or really want to try, Frank would love to do it for them. Anything that would make his partner happy will make him happy.
L = Location
Heās an old fashioned kind of guy. Nothing screams romance like Frank picking up his partner bridal style and getting them to the bedroom. He likes the couch and sometimes even the kitchen table when things are more light. It doesnāt really matter to Frank where he is as long as itās somewhere comfortable for his partner and they can be in private.
M = Motivation
His partner. The way they smile and the way they pout when theyāre not getting what they want and the way they donāt put up with any of his bullshit. Once Frank falls in love, he falls hard. That man is someone brand new when heās with someone who makes him happy. Itās not hard to get Frank excited. Anytime his significant other does something that tugs at his heartstrings (literally every twelve minutes), he can be ready for action.
N = NO
Obviously, if itās not something that his significant other wants, heās not gonna touch it with a ten foot pole. But for himself, Frank isnāt a fan of painful punishments for his partner or degradation in any form. It feels too similar to the things he did when Agent Orange had his team torturing and killing innocents. He doesnāt ever want to bring violence home to his lover.
O = Oral
Everyone likes getting sucked off, but Frankās kink for his partnerās satisfaction makes him prefer giving head. The way their hips arch up off the bed and he has to hold them down to keep his angle right, the soft sounds they make just as they near their climax, the way they wrap their thighs around his head to keep him there (as if he was going anywhere). He loves everything about it.
P = Pace
While Frank is never too rough with his lover, that doesnāt mean he doesnāt he doesnāt know how to pace himself. Heās an expert in the art of the deep stroke and will never cease to remind his partner of it. Maybe heās more vanilla and less adventurous in the bedroom, but heās got his partner memorized to a T and will do everything that theyāll love every time.
Q = Quickie
Frank doesnāt always have a lot of time on his hands. Between his partnerās fairly normal life and his own rather turbulent one, he doesnāt always have the time or energy to take them to bed as often as he would like. So a nice quickie before his partner goes to work in the morning or in the shower before he goes out for the night is good for the soul.
R = Risk
Experimentation is one thing, but risks are another. Frank would try lots of things (albeit hesitantly) if his partner was intrigued by the idea. Risks, though, arenāt for Frank ā not here. He wouldnāt touch them in public or risk getting caught by their friends. The most obvious reason for that is his being a wanted criminal, but more than that, he respects the dignity of his partner too much for it. Also, heās a jealous son of a bitch and would shoot someone in the face if they were looking at his partner in a way that is designated for his eyes only.
S = Stamina
Letās be honest ā Frank has acquired a lot of injuries throughout his adult life. These as well as his age and basically constant state of exhaustion all play a part in his stamina not being the most spectacular. He can last an average amount of time, but his partner shouldnāt expect multiple rounds in one sitting. Two times in one day has happened, but it was hours apart.
T = Toy
Frank isnāt a huge toy enthusiast during his sexual encounters with his lover, but he does encourage them to have toys of their own for when heās not around. Frank knows that heās gone more often than not, and he wants to make sure that his significant other is being taken care of no matter what.
U = Unfair
Although itās not very often, when Frank teases, itās not in an unfair way, but a playful one. Even so, he learned how to delay orgasms when he realized how much Maria liked it, so itās something heās comfortable with and pretty good at. He doesnāt see that as teasing, though ā thatās a different thing entirely.
V = Volume
Frank is not a particularly loud person ā he doesnāt moan, exactly, he talks. He may not know much, but one thing heās sure of is that his voice is sexy. The occasional grunt and growl would be punctuated with phrases of encouragement and pleasure. (Take it. Just like that. Fuck, youāre so good. Take me so good. Donāt even deserve you. Fuck, I love you.)
W = Wild Card
Frank Castle is a goddamn teddy bear. After sex, heās wrapped like a koala around his lover. Heās heavy and his grip is tight and heās emitting so much body heat, but his partner doesnāt have it in their heart to tell him to move. This is Frank at his most vulnerable. Itās when heās in this position that heāll talk about anything ā Maria and the kids, his own childhood, war stories. Anything thatās on his mind. Anything that his partner asks about. He feels so safe here.
X = X-Ray
Everything about Frank Castle is big. His dick is no exception. Heās about average length but thick. And he knows how to use it.
Y = Yearning
His sex drive isnāt too crazy ā heās getting older and heās never been any kind of sex addict. But he can pretty much always find it in him to want it. Nine times out of ten, if his partner wants him, he feels the same way. If Frankās at home all week, then theyāre probably going three or four times.
Z = ZZZ
Thereās horror behind his eyes. Sleep never comes easy for Frank, and after sex is no exception. Exhausted as he may be, he finds it hard to rest. Heād rather hold his partner and talk with them until they fall asleep. Maybe heāll be able to rest his eyes for a couple of hours.
