fem!reader x redflag!hollis series
authors note: this story actually happened to me irl, just with another artist instead of hollis. the entire experience felt like a fever dream, so i had to turn it into a fic.
and we all love a little tea, don't we?
✩⠀
the bus hummed quietly as it carried you through the sleeping city. it was late. the streets outside were almost empty, swallowed by darkness and somehow your chest felt just as heavy.
you weren't supposed to be on your way home
the plan had been to spend the night at your situationships place. things between the two of you had been falling apart for a while now but you kept convincing yourself there was still something left to hold onto. until tonight.
you were supposed to meet outside his apartment. fifteen minutes later he finally stumbled around the corner. drunk. high. barely able to stand. he didn't even apologize.
it almost felt like the universe had stepped in for you, grabbing you by the shoulders and forcing you to see what you'd been refusing to admit.
let him go.
so now you found yourself on the last bus home, watching blurry streetlights slide past the window. with a quiet sigh you slipped on your headphones and opened spotify.
a small smile found its way onto your face. it was 12:00 am on a friday. release friday - your favorite moment of every week.
you opened your personalized release playlist, curious to see what had dropped overnight. that's when you saw his name:
2hollis
you'd been listening to him for years. your best friend had put you onto his music back in high school and ever since then he'd always found his way into your playlists every now and then.
he wasn't someone you thought about much but whenever a new release popped up, you usually gave it a listen.
you tapped on the first track and within seconds you were hooked. curious you clicked on his profile and realized it wasn't just a single, it was an entire ep.
the ride home was still long enough to make it through the whole thing. so you leaned back against the window and pressed play. by the time the bus pulled up to your stop, every single track had found its way into your playlist.
✩⠀
you couldn't get it out of your head the next morning either. it was almost addictive.
every song pulled you in a little deeper. each one leaving you more intrigued than the last. it scratched an itch somewhere in your brain you didn't even know existed. for the next few days his ep was all you listened to.
and the more you listened, the more you fell in love with his voice. the more you paid attention to his lyrics, the more curious you became about the person behind them.
before that you never really cared. he was just another artist whose music you happened to enjoy.
but one afternoon, while mindlessly scrolling on your phone, you typed his name into instagram for the very first time. his profile appeared immediately. you tapped on it.
every photo featured him. yet somehow, none of them actually did. his face was hidden in every single post. blurred, covered, cropped, always just out of reach. still there was enough to piece together a picture.
he was tall. broad shoulders. toned arms. long, wavy blond hair that always looked slightly messy, like he'd just run a hand through it and he was effortlessly well dressed. but no matter how far you scrolled, you never got to see his face.
he remained a mystery.
you hovered over the follow button for a second, then, without thinking too much about it you tapped it. from that moment on there was no saving you.
✩⠀
you kept finding new songs. then unreleased snippets. old features. at some point you had an entire playlist dedicated to him. it was the first thing you heard in the morning and the last thing you heard before falling asleep.
you couldn't keep it to yourself anymore. so you texted the person who'd introduced you to him years ago: your best friend emily.
☏ ˚₊
you: do you remember when you showed me 2hollis back in high school?
em: omg yeah
em: why??
you: he dropped a new ep
you: i'm OBSESSED
you: like i genuinely can't stop listening to it
you: go listen if you haven't already
em: i've been listening
em: it's SO good
you: girl
you: i finally looked him up on instagram
em: and???
you: you never see his face
you: * 3 images attached *
you: idk why but i have the biggest crush on this man
em: WAIT
em: i get it
☏ ˚₊
✩⠀
that was the first night you touched yourself thinking about him.
his deep voice filled your headphones as you lay there with your eyes closed, letting your imagination take over.
you caught yourself daydreaming about a man whose face you'd never even seen. that only made him more irresistible.
the thought of him touching you, of making you feel everything without ever seeing who he really was, consumed your mind.
and with every song you played the craving only grew stronger. even though deep down you knew there was no possible way you'd ever reach him.
✩⠀
everything changed on a sunday.
you had a shoot for work that day so you took a little more time getting ready than usual. your makeup came out just right, your hair finally cooperated and as always lately, his music filled your apartment from the speakers.
once you were dressed you caught your reflection in the mirror. well, almost dressed. you were wearing your jeans and nothing but a bra on top, silver jewelry catching the morning light. something about the whole look matched the music playing in the background.
you grabbed your phone and took a few selfies. they turned out surprisingly good. more importantly, they fit the vibe of his music perfectly. so when you posted one to your instagram story, choosing one of his songs felt like the obvious choice.
having a fairly large following yourself, you usually tagged the artists whenever you used their music. every now and then someone would repost your story, bringing a nice boost in reach.
still, as you typed @ 2hollis, you couldn't help but smile to yourself.
yeah, as if...
at the end of the day you were just another girl on the internet. god knew how many others tagged him every single day. so you locked your phone and headed to the shoot.
✩⠀
the city was unusually quiet for a sunday morning. his voice humming through your headphones as you made your way across town.
then it suddenly crossed your mind. mostly out of habit, you opened instagram and tapped on your story.
you didn't expect to see his name. not even for a second. but the moment you swiped up to check the viewers, your stomach dropped. right there, near the top of the list:
2hollis
with your heart still racing the first thing you did was text emily. ever since you'd discovered his new ep, she'd been forced to endure your daily updates about your newest obsession. there was no way you weren't telling her about this.
☏ ˚₊
you: * 1 screenshot attached *
you: this isn't real
you: hollis literally knows i exist now
you: i can die in peace
em: WHAT???
em: how did that even happen
you: i tagged him in my story
you: but i never thought he'd actually see it
☏ ˚₊
before she could reply you slipped your phone back into your bag. you'd arrived at the shoot.
your entire day already felt lighter. you couldn't stop smiling. your stomach was still fluttering every time you thought about it.
out of everyone who had tagged him that day, he'd seen yours. he'd seen you. and that tiny interaction was enough to give you exactly the confidence boost you needed before stepping in front of the camera.
✩⠀
it couldn't have gone any better. the photos turned out exactly the way you'd hoped, the locations were beautiful and the entire team was incredibly easy to work with.
during a short break, you grabbed a bottle of water and sat down off to the side, pulling out your phone. you opened instagram.
there was one unread dm. you barely thought anything of it. one of your friends had probably sent you another random meme. that's usually how your sunday afternoons went.
you tapped on it and a jolt shot through your entire body.
2hollis: yum
you stared at the screen. then looked again. you closed the app, opened his profile, checked the username. no. it was really him. right above his message sat your story, the one where you'd tagged him.
your pulse refused to slow down. this didn't happen. this was the kind of thing that happened in movies. in fanfictions. not in real life. your celebrity crush wasn't supposed to know you existed... and yet there it was.
you switched straight to em's chat and sent her a screenshot.
☏ ˚₊
you: * 1 screenshot attached *
you: EM HELP
you: EM
you: WHAT DO I EVEN SAY
em: HOLY SHIT WHAT
em: BRO??????
em: i have absolutely no idea
em: i'm freaking out too
☏ ˚₊
you stared at your screen in complete disbelief.
the shoot was about to continue but your fingertips were practically vibrating. you had to reply. right now. except, what were you even supposed to say?
there was only one chance to make him reply again. if you fumbled this the conversation would be over before it had even started.
not that you even knew what you wanted from this interaction in the first place. your thoughts were all over the place, the moment the name of your celebrity crush appeared in your dms.
he'd texted "yum". which left you with two options:
option one: play it safe. admit you were a fan. tell him you'd been obsessed with his latest ep and that you'd had it on repeat for days.
or option two: match his energy, risk absolutely everything and simply reply: "hope it tastes good".
✩⠀
you typed out your reply, took one last deep breath and hit send. there was no going back now.
... see you in chapter two

2hollis x fem!reader smutshot ! mdni
about: your older brother is one of 2hollis closest friends. so when he invites him to his songwriting camp, you end up tagging along after recently getting into photography. your brother is ridiculously protective and barely lets you out of his sight. one evening, hollis casually says: "i'm borrowing your sister for a bit. we still need a few shots by the ocean." nobody thinks anything of it. after all, you're just the little sister.
-
you've always had an eye for aesthetics. for the beautiful things. for finding the perfect angle. for knowing exactly how to capture a moment in a way that makes people feel like they were there.
you'd heard that compliment your whole life. and only recently, you finally worked up the courage to take photography seriously.
"this is your chance!" your brother had said, almost too excited for your own good. his idea? you'd tag along to 2hollis upcoming songwriting camp.
"get some good shots and your name will spread on its own."
he wasn't wrong. it was an incredible opportunity. which was exactly why you couldn't understand why hollis would ever agree to it.
surely he'd rather have someone with actual experience. someone who knew what they were doing. not... his best friends little sister.
but to your surprise, hollis didn't hesitate for a second. the moment your brother brought it up, he was on board.
so now you were spending a week on an island, surrounded by nothing but ocean, watching a house full of producers and creative directors turn inspiration into something real. your only job? capturing it all.
-
it was already day three.
half the house was still asleep while you were already up, plugging camera batteries into their chargers one by one.
yesterday had been intense.
songwriting sessions that seemed to go on forever. lyric sheets scattered across every table. half finished drinks. notebooks full of crossed out ideas. a complete mess.
but somehow it still worked. you never realized how much went into making music.
-
"did you sleep well?" your brother's voice came from behind as he stepped through the glass sliding door. he brushed a hand over your shoulder before stopping beside you. you turned around, still looking a little sleepy and smiled.
"yeah. you?" his eyes narrowed for just a second. "you look tired." he paused. "you were alone last night, right?" you immediately nudged him with your elbow. "obviously, idiot. what do you think?" his jaw relaxed again. "just asking."
you rolled your eyes. "the way you patrol around me 24/7, nobody would even dare try anything. besides..." you shrugged. "…none of them are even my type."
that finally earned you a satisfied nod. he leaned against the counter. "i slept well too. let's see how much we get done today."
-
he was the best brother you could've asked for, but he was also the most overprotective person on the planet. that's just how your brother was.
it didn't matter who the guy was. older. nicer. richer. none of them were ever good enough for his little sister.
and whenever there were too many guys around you, something inside him switched. he noticed every lingering glance. every smile that lasted a little too long. every excuse to stand just a little closer.
he'd make sure nobody ever got the chance to fill your head with the wrong ideas.
-
a little later, already on your second coffee, you sat curled up on one of the sofas by the pool, editing yesterday's photos on your laptop.
the glass door slid open behind you once again. "morning, little one." it was hollis voice. low, still rough from sleep. you looked up.
like every other morning, he was wearing nothing but a pair of loose gray sweatpants. "did you leave all your shirts at home or-"
he glanced down at himself with an amused smile. "you could always borrow me one of your crop tops." - "oh, i'd love to see you in that!" you replied sarcastically.
he let out a quiet laugh before disappearing back inside to help the other guys get everything ready for today's session.
-
...hollis.
he was the one friend of your brother's you'd break every rule for without thinking twice.
he was tall. ridiculously attractive. broad shoulders and long dark hair that caught warm, almost blond highlights whenever the sun hit it just right.
and his eyes. whenever he talked to you, they never seemed to leave yours, as if he was saying one thing while meaning another. it wasn’t uncomfortable. if anything, it made your stomach flutter in a way you hated how much you loved.
even his voice had that effect on you. especially when he called you little one or simply said your name.
but he was completely out of reach.
first, because he was your brother’s best friend. he knew the rules just as well as everyone else. besides, everyone treated you like the little sister. it was all too familiar for anyone to ever cross that line.
and second, someone like hollis could have anyone he wanted. girls threw themselves at him without him even trying. so why would he ever look twice at you?
-
by the afternoon the house had finally come alive.
someone was testing a new beat through the speakers while two producers argued over a melody in the kitchen.
lyric sheets covered the dining table once again. empty coffee cups, tangled headphones and laptops everywhere.
you wandered between everyone with your camera, catching little moments nobody else seemed to notice.
someone laughing with their head thrown back. fingers drumming absentmindedly against a countertop. hollis sitting crosslegged on the couch, completely lost in whatever he was writing.
"hold that." he didn’t even look up. you lifted the camera. click. perfect.
a few minutes later, everyone slowly gathered outside by the pool for a break.
you were scrolling through the photos on your camera when an idea crossed your mind.
"actually..." you looked up. "if we're putting together a vlog for the camp, we should definitely get some shots down by the ocean later. it'd fit the whole vibe."
a few heads turned.
"the light around sunset would look insane." one of the creative directors nodded immediately. "she’s right."
before anyone else could answer, nate leaned back in his chair with a grin. "i mean…" his eyes landed on you. "i’d always be down to shoot in the ocean with you.“
a few quiet laughs spread around the table. your stomach tightened. before you could even think of a response:
"watch it." your brother didn’t even raise his voice. he just looked at nate. the smile disappeared from his face almost instantly.
"i was joking man." - "doesn’t matter." the conversation around the table had already gone quiet. then hollis spoke. calm. almost amused. "nate." he finally looked up from his notebook. "you know the rules."
"see?" your brother pointed toward him without taking his eyes off nate. "take notes from hollis. he’s been around my sister for three days and hasn’t acted weird once."
"exactly," hollis said. his expression didn’t change. not even a little. "wouldn’t dream of it."
everyone seemed satisfied enough with that. someone changed the subject. the conversation picked back up almost immediately. your brother was already busy talking to someone else about tonight’s session.
for a moment everything felt normal again. then you felt it. a gaze. so intense it almost seemed to burn against your skin. when you finally looked up, your eyes met hollis instantly. it almost startled you.
he wasn't just glancing your way. he was looking at you, really looking at you. there was something behind it. a message you couldn't quite put into words.
he caught the uncertainty on your face. then he winked. a crooked smile tugged at the corner of his mouth before he turned back toward the group as if nothing had happened.
nobody noticed. he knew they wouldn't. he knew exactly what he'd just done to you. and with one tiny gesture, everything he'd said only seconds earlier
wouldn't dream of it.
suddenly felt meaningless. because if he really wouldn´t dream of it, why did that wink feel like a secret only the two of you were supposed to understand?
-
after the break everyone had slipped right back into work mode. the energy around the house shifted almost instantly.
producers disappeared behind laptops, melodies echoed from different rooms, conversations turned into discussions about lyrics and arrangements. everyone seemed locked in on the same goal:
making the best music they possibly could before the week was over.
those were your favorite moments to photograph. nothing was staged. nobody was posing. it was just people completely consumed by what they loved.
well. everyone except your brother. he'd managed to check out completely, sprawled across one of the couches, mindlessly scrolling through tiktok. every few seconds another obnoxious sound blasted through the room.
after about five minutes, hollis finally looked up from his laptop with an exhausted sigh. "you're actually useless." without another word, he stood up, walked over and dropped a pair of airpods onto your brother's chest. "please."
your brother snorted, slipped them in and immediately disappeared back into his own little world. you couldn't help laughing. the moment was too good. you lifted your camera. click.
your brother looking completely unbothered while hollis visibly regretted inviting him.
"what?" you looked up. hollis had heard you laugh. "that picture," you grinned "should be your next album cover." he laughed under his breath. "let me see."
before you could answer, he was already walking over. he stopped beside you. closer than he needed to. his shoulder brushed yours as you lifted the camera between you.
without thinking, you turned the screen toward him. he leaned in. close enough that a few loose strands of his hair brushed against your cheek.
close enough that you caught the familiar scent of expensive cologne mixed with cigarettes and the faint warmth of sun on his skin. it smelled... like hollis.
"here." you opened the photo. he laughed quietly. "that's actually iconic." instead of handing the camera back, he casually took it from your hands to scroll through the rest himself.
your fingers brushed. only for a second. at least that's what should've happened. for some reason it felt longer. your eyes instinctively flicked toward your brother. still glued to his phone. still completely oblivious and technically nothing inappropriate had happened.
hollis kept scrolling. then stopped. it was one of the photos from earlier that morning. shirtless. a cigarette resting between his fingers, phone in the other hand, brows slightly furrowed as he'd read something on the screen. the sunlight hit him perfectly. almost unfairly.
he let out a quiet breath. "damn." his eyes stayed on the screen. "you're actually really fucking good at this, y/n" heat crept into your cheeks. "thank you."
this time, when you looked up, he was already looking at you. his eyes dropped. just for a heartbeat. to your lips. before returning to yours. there it was again. that same impossible tension. he wasn't touching you. he wasn't even saying anything.
yet somehow it felt wrong that your brother was only a few feet away. your gaze darted back toward him. still distracted. still not paying attention. hollis noticed. he tilted his head slightly. "worried about crossing his boundaries?"
your eyes widened. "what? no, i just..." you stumbled over your own words. he smiled. small. knowing. "if there was nothing to worry about," he said quietly, handing the camera back "you wouldn't keep checking." you blinked. "excuse me?"
he didn't answer right away. instead he glanced toward your brother. still completely occupied. then his hand found your waist. gentle. careful. his fingertips barely rested against you. but it was enough.
every muscle in your body tensed. your heartbeat slammed against your ribs. the air suddenly felt warmer. your eyes dropped to his hand. to the fact that it was actually there. against you.
before you could fully process it he let go again. his gaze lifted back to your face. your flushed cheeks. your wide pupils. your lips, slightly parted. he saw everything. every reaction. every answer.
a slow smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. his voice was almost playful. "thought so." heat rushed to your face. "wha-" - "relax." his voice was calm. "your secret's safe with me."
you felt completely caught. you hadn't admitted a single thing. had barely said a word. and yet somehow, you couldn't deny any of it. he'd read you far too easily.
that same selfassured smile lingered on his lips while all you could do was stare back at him, almost in disbelief. he held your gaze for another second longer before giving a small nod.
"gotta get back to work." and just like that, he turned around and sat back down at his laptop, leaving you there with your camera still clutched against your chest and a truth you'd never intended to reveal.
you never thought it would get this far. but now it was too late. this wasn't over.
the tension inside the room had become almost unbearable. you mumbled something about getting some fresh air before slipping outside.
your brother was still lying on the couch. completely oblivious. if only he knew what had just happened right in front of him.
-
on purpose, you spent the next hour with the other producers. you needed the distance. needed time to process whatever had just happened. because what?
how had hollis suddenly gotten so close? how had one look, one touch, been enough to make you question everything you'd convinced yourself was impossible?
you sat outside with everyone else, the chairs pushed together around the table while you transferred the photos from your camera onto your laptop.
everyone was doing their own thing. until one of the producers finally broke the silence.
"guys, i'm starving." he stretched his arms over his head. "can we call it a break and make some food or something?" a chorus of agreement followed almost instantly.
"thank god." nate groaned dramatically, leaning back in his chair. "i'm actually dying." - "same." you laughed. "best idea anyone's had all day."
right on cue the glass door slid open. your brother stepped outside first, hollis followed a second later. "what?" your brother grinned "i heard food." without missing a beat, hollis smacked the back of his head. "you haven't done a single thing."
your brother rubbed the back of his head dramatically. "doesn't matter." he pointed at you. "one productive sibling is enough." you looked up just long enough to raise your middle finger at him. he only laughed.
"so..." the producer looked around the table. "food?" everyone nodded.
before anyone could get up, hollis casually rested a hand on your brother's shoulder. "i'm borrowing your sister for a bit." your fingers froze above your keyboard. "we still need a few shots by the ocean." he glanced toward the horizon. "sun's gonna be down soon. doesn't make much sense after that."
then his eyes found yours. only for a second. but it was enough. your stomach flipped instantly. this wasn't about the photos. this was about finally being alone. before you could even answer-
"ocean?" nate pushed himself to his feet immediately. "hell yeah, i'm coming too. i still need a few shots." for the first time all afternoon, something shifted in hollis expression. barely. his jaw tightened.
"nate." your brother sighed, walked over and grabbed him by the shoulder before gently pushing him back down into his chair. "sit." a few laughs spread around the table.
"look," your brother said with a grin. "i like you. i really do. but after that little comment earlier..." he shook his head "you're the last person i'm sending to the beach with my sister."
nate threw both hands into the air. "seriously?" he pointed across the patio. "but he gets to go?" his finger landed on hollis. "pretty boy over there?"
your brother didn't even hesitate. "he's known her for years and he's never given me a reason not to trust him." he nodded toward you. "besides, she's here to work. that's literally all this is."
hollis stayed quiet the entire time. he didn't defend himself. didn't add a single word. he simply waited. only you noticed the tension disappear from his jaw.
"ready?" he finally looked at you. you nodded. "yeah. let me grab my camera bag." - "take your time." he looked back at your brother. "we'll be back before dinner." - "don't rush." your brother waved him off. "get the shots while the light's good." - "will do."
then hollis looked at you one last time. not long enough for anyone else to notice. just long enough for that familiar feeling to settle deep in your stomach again. because you knew exactly what he'd really meant when he said he was borrowing you.
-
ten minutes later, the two of you met again by the front entrance. while you'd simply tied your hair back into a ponytail and thrown your camera bag over your shoulder, hollis looked completely different.
he'd changed into a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt. but it was his makeup that caught your attention first. black eyeliner framed his eyes, smudged with deep red eyeshadow underneath. he looked like the kind of villain people couldn't help falling in love with. and he wasted absolutely no time using that first impression.
he stepped closer. close enough to tower over you. "ready, little one?" your brain went completely blank. "uhm..." you swallowed. "y-yeah. sure."
his hand suddenly moved toward you. your eyes followed it instinctively. only to realize he wasn't reaching for you. he was taking your camera bag off your shoulder. "come on." he said casually, slinging it over his own shoulder. "let's go."
-
the walk down to the ocean only took about twelve minutes. you stayed beside him the entire way, hands tucked into your pockets, your heartbeat refusing to slow down.
it still didn't feel real. in the span of a single afternoon, everything between the two of you had changed.
"good thing nate didn't come." his voice pulled you out of your thoughts. you looked up. "i mean..." you shrugged "i would've taken pictures of him too. i didn't mind."
hollis let out a quiet hum. "he wasn't the problem." you slowed to a stop. "what do you mean?"
he stopped a few steps ahead before turning back toward you. one corner of his mouth lifted. "he would've gotten in the way." - "of what?"
for a second, he just looked at you. that same unreadable expression. then he smiled. "the shoot."
right. except his eyes said something completely different. you rolled your eyes, trying far too hard to ignore the warmth creeping into your cheeks.
"and my brother thinks you're the responsible one." a quiet laugh escaped him. "oh, i could prove him right." you frowned. "or very, very wrong." before he could finish the thought, you bumped your elbow into his side. "idiot."
-
by the time you reached the ocean, you felt almost dizzy from the tension.
the two of you tried to act like nothing had changed, but neither of you could deny how intense your glances had become. how tense your bodies felt. how wet your panties had gotten and how his jeans fit just a little tighter than before.
both of you were simply waiting for the moment everything finally snapped.
"this looks like a good spot." he nodded. "yeah. you've got a good eye." he handed you your camera bag before slipping off his shoes and making his way toward the water.
you shook your head. "are you insane?" he only called back over his shoulder. "trust me." a small grin tugged at his lips. "i know what i'm doing."
of course he did. he always knew exactly what he was doing. and now, with the two of you finally alone, more than ever.
you adjusted your camera settings, completely focused on getting everything right. but the moment you looked up again, you almost forgot how to breathe. there he was.
his white shirt completely soaked, clinging to every inch of his broad frame. the wet fabric traced every muscle beneath it. water glistened on his skin, the ends of his long hair soaked from the ocean.
"better?" hollis asked, looking at you through those dark eyes, framed by smudged black liner and deep red shadow. the sight alone sent a shiver through your entire body.
"y-yeah." you cleared your throat "i get your vision now." - "see?" he sounded far too pleased with himself. like he'd known exactly how hard this would be for you. like the white shirt had been part of the plan all along.
you lifted your camera and started taking photos. he posed without needing any direction, his eyes never really leaving the lens... or you. and he enjoyed every second of it. all under the perfectly innocent excuse that the two of you were simply there to take pictures.
-
after a few more shots, he suddenly called out: "wait." you lowered your camera and looked at him, confused. if this had already been torture, it got so much worse.
the six-foot-something man slowly brought his large, veiny, wet hands to the hem of his shirt before pulling it over his head, revealing his body inch by inch.
you already knew what he looked like. but this felt like your own private show. like a gift slowly unwrapping itself right in front of you. a gift that had always been at the very top of your wishlist.
you caught yourself biting your lip before quickly looking away, suddenly embarrassed.
"you okay?" his voice was gentle. almost as if he had no idea what he was doing to you. "i'm fine." you answered a little too quickly before lifting your camera again.
but even through the lens it didn't get any easier. his jeans sat low on his hips, the waistband of his white boxers peeking out beneath them.
you looked a little closer, as subtly as you possibly could. your eyes caught the trail of dark hair disappearing beneath his waistband.
before you could stop yourself, your gaze instinctively followed it lower, wondering just how much more was hidden beneath the denim. god. focus.
hollis noticed the way your posture had changed. the way your hands trembled ever so slightly around the camera.
"and that's exactly why nate would've been in the way." he knew. this was the moment. and the second you heard those words, you knew it too. there was no going back now.
"hollis..." you asked carefully "what are you doing?" he stayed where he was, the water moving gently around his hips, small waves splashing against his lower abs.
"you already know, y/n." his voice was calm "we've got enough pictures." his eyes stayed locked on yours "put the camera down." your heart stopped. "...what?"
a dark smile spread across his face before he slowly started walking toward you. water streamed down his body. from his neck, over his chest, down the defined lines of his abs, before disappearing beneath the waistband of his jeans.
before you could fully process what was happening, he was standing right in front of you. his hands gently wrapped around your camera. you let go without thinking. he carefully set it aside for you. then he stepped closer.
his wet hair dripped onto your skin, sending goosebumps racing across your arms. "i've been wondering when this moment would finally happen." his voice was quiet. steady.
his hands found your waist again. but this time they weren't teasing. they weren't careful. they held you with certainty. he pulled you closer. your breath caught.
"the moment for what?" he looked away for a second with an amused smile, as if you couldn't possibly be serious. "i've seen the way you look at me." his eyes found yours again. "for a while now." his thumb slowly brushed against your side. "and i knew the second i noticed..." he smiled. "...that i needed you like this."
your knees felt weak. "hollis..." you barely managed to whisper. "this isn't a good idea." - "i know." he answered quietly. you felt the last word against your lips as he closed the distance between you.
the kiss started slow. careful. almost as if he was giving you one last chance to pull away. but the second your fingers slipped into his damp hair, it deepened.
he pulled your body flush against his. a quiet groan escaped him into the kiss. your clothes slowly became soaked from the water still clinging to him.
his hands wandered across you as though they'd been waiting far too long for this. when he finally opened his eyes again, they looked even darker than before. without warning, he slipped an arm beneath your legs and lifted you effortlessly. you wrapped your legs around his waist instinctively. he turned toward the ocean.
"no, hollis!" you laughed. but you already knew you weren't stopping him. before you realized it, the two of you were back in the water.
still impossibly close. your skirt floated upward beneath the surface. his hands found the bare skin beneath it. he let out a quiet groan. god. how long had he wanted this?
the heat inside you kept building. there was a craving growing in your chest. a desperate, aching need.
you held onto his broad shoulders for support before instinctively rolling your hips against him. his grip on you tightened immediately. "oh, fuck..." his voice came out low, almost breathless. "if your brother knew how needy you are for me."
he slowly rocked his hips back against yours, teasing. a shaky moan slipped from your lips as you felt his bulge pressed against you through the soaked denim.
"look at you." his forehead rested against yours. "you're all mine, aren't you?" you nodded without hesitation. "y-yeah..."
the ocean soaked you more with every passing second. your clothes clung to your bodies. your hair grew heavier with seawater. your kisses became deeper. more desperate.
hidden beneath the surface, where no one could see, his hand slipped beneath the fabric of your panties, his long fingers gliding through your slit, brushing over your clit again and again while his other arm kept you firmly against him.
as if he was breaking you apart, only to be the one holding you together.
then his lips found your neck. soft kisses turned into slow, lingering ones as his fingers moved with growing urgency.
"oh... fuck, hollis." the words escaped you in a trembling breath. he felt it instantly. the way his cock twitched against you. hollis pulled back just enough to look into your eyes.
for the first time all day, he hesitated. his jaw tightened. then, barely above a whisper, he admitted: "i need to fuck you y/n." his forehead rested against yours once more. "right now."
at his words everything inside you tightened. your pussy clenched around nothing as you pulled him even closer, desperate for him.
your voice barely rose above a whisper. "i'm all yours." every muscle in his body was tense. his heartbeat pounded just as fast as yours.
"hold on tight, baby." as you wrapped yourself around his broad frame, he reached beneath the surface to undo his jeans.
god, you wished you could see him. see just how ready he was for you. see all of him.
instead he looked directly into your eyes. he didn't even bother moving your panties aside. "ready for me?" his voice was low. dark. you rested your forehead against his. "i've waited so long for this." the words melted against his lips.
the water hid everything from view. there was nothing to see. only feel.
he held you firmly against him as he slowly drew you closer, letting you adjust to him inch by inch.
your breath caught. he was so much bigger than you'd imagined. he kept easing you closer until he finally held you flush against him before capturing your lips in another kiss.
"you okay, angel?" you nodded immediately. his hands slid lower along your hips while your fingers tangled tighter in his damp hair.
he began moving with you, pulling you back against him over and over again. harder. needier.
the water splashed around you with every movement as your quiet moans grew harder to hold back. "if he only knew how good you sound with my cock inside you..." his voice cracked with restraint. "fuck... baby."
you knew exactly who he meant. there was something about crossing the one line he never should've crossed that seemed to drive him even crazier. sleeping with his best friend's little sister.
the sun continued sinking behind the two of you. the only witness to what was happening.
you clung to him even tighter when you suddenly felt his thumb find your clit beneath the water. the ocean was dangerous. you never knew what he was going to do next.
while his thumb circled you slowly, his pace changed. he slowed down, letting you feel every inch of him before drawing you back again. making you feel everything.
"be good for me, angel." you nodded, burying your face against his neck. "please..." you already knew what was coming. "cum for me, baby." his voice was barely more than a breath.
"i´m all yours."
"don't run from it."
"let it happen."
"i got you."
and he did. every movement found exactly the right place. your whole body tightened around him. your breathing became uneven.
his own breaths turned rougher, more broken, matching yours until the two of you reached the edge together. "oh... fuck." he held you close as you trembled against him. "look at you..." he smiled between messy kisses. "such a good girl."
he kissed you again, slow and unsteady, your lips barely separating before finding each other again. you were still trying to catch your breath while he held you against him, neither of you wanting to let go. you smiled softly against his lips.
"hm?" he murmured. "do you think we missed dinner?" you asked with a small smile, absentmindedly playing with his hair. he pulled you a little closer. "after today..." a grin tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"...you're the only one who's gonna be satisfying my hunger."

he didn’t fall for you the way normal people do.
Hollis Frazier never did anything the way normal people do.
it wasn't a smile across a room or a shared joke or some spark that flared in the space between two strangers nothing sweet, nothing innocent. it began in a moment he wasn't even supposed to notice you. a tiny, stupid moment the universe tossed at him like a dare.
he remembers it down to the temperature of the air.
you were standing outside the gas station, purse strap slipping off your shoulder, hair tied up messy like you didn't have the energy to pretend today. you were juggling keys and your phone and a bag of chips like you hadn't slept enough, like the world had wrung you out. and you laughed at yourself, at the situation, whatever this soft, fed up little sound that shouldn't have hit him the way it did.
it hit him like gravity remembering his name.
and he saw you. really saw you. not as some girl in Los Angeles or some face he'd forget once he looked away. no you were a disruption. a glitch in the system.
something his brain grabbed onto and refused to let go.
Hollis would tell himself later that it was harmless curiosity. just noticing. nothing wrong with noticing.
except he kept noticing.
and noticing turned into watching.
and watching turned into learning.
you had this rhythm to your days, a little crooked in the cutest ways. you always left five minutes later than you meant to, rushing out the door like time was mocking you. you drove with your windows cracked even when it was cold. you hummed while parallel parking always the same tune, half muttered like you didn't realize you did it.
he catalogued it all like devotion.
like scripture.
there was something about the way you moved through the world, soft and unguarded, like no one had ever given you a reason to look over your shoulder. it made something vicious in him settle. something hungry. something he'd spent years trying to drown finally found air through you.
he’d watch you laugh with people who didn't deserve to hear it. watch you drag your fingertips across the rim of your cup when you zoned out. watch you stand in front of your mirror, tilting your head at an outfit you ended up changing out of anyway.
he saw everything.
and in that warped, aching maze of his mind, he loved it all.
God, he loved everything about you.
the way you scrunched your nose when you read something confusing.
the way you talked to yourself when you cooked, like narrating made it make more sense.
the way your anger was small but sharp.
the way your joy made your shoulders relax.
the way your sadness wrapped around you like an old coat you didn't know how to take off.
he loved it.
he loved you.
at least whatever version of love someone like him could feel.
and he wanted you. not lightly. not casually. not in the way people want things they plan to let go of someday. he wanted you like a secret he needed to protect. like a name carved into bone. like something that was already his and just didn't know it yet.
sometimes he'd slip by your house just to see if your light was still on, just to confirm you made it home safe, just to inhale the peace of knowing you were alive in the same world as him.
he memorized your routines the way some people memorize scripture softly, reverently, over and over until the lines were etched into him.
the way you always paused in your doorway like you were remembering something.
the way you hesitated at your car door, glancing over your shoulder before unlocking it.
the way you tilted your head when you laughed, like joy caught you by surprise every time.
he collected these pieces quietly, tucked them into the corners of his mind the way others tuck away photographs.
he liked knowing the shape of your days, the rhythm of your footsteps, the soft little habits you didn't think anyone noticed.
he didn't need you to see him.
he didn't need to be part of the picture.
he just needed you to exist in his orbit.
that was enough to keep his pulse steady, to keep the darker parts of him from tearing their way out.
because he thought of you constantly in the suffocating, burning way that didn't leave room for anything else, a devotion so obsessive it felt less like emotion and more like gravity bending itself around you.
you were the first thing his brain reached for in the morning and the last thing lingering in the dark before he fell asleep.
you were the reason he breathed deeper, the reason his hands shook less, the reason he felt alive in places inside him that had been numb for years.
he’d tell himself it wasn't obsession.
he'd tell himself it was fate.
destiny.
some cosmic pull he wasn't meant to resist.
and every day, the truth sank deeper into his bones.
you were his.
even if you didn't know it yet.
especially because you didn't know it yet.
some nights he parked down the street and waited for your light to go out, then let himself imagine you calling him to come over, voice sleepy soft, needy.
imagining you leaving the window cracked just for him, thighs already open when he slipped inside.
his mouth finding you in the dark, slow and worshipful, licking you open until you were shaking, gasping his name, fingers twisted in his hair, pulling him closer while you came on his tongue, half dreaming.
both of you breathless, laughing, saying, finally against your skin before he kissed his way back up to your mouth.
he thought about how you'd feel under him constantly not sweet, not gentle. he wanted to split you open on his cock and watch that soft, unguarded look in your eyes turn wide and shocked and his. wanted to feel you clench around him when you realized there was no part of you he hadn't already claimed in his head a thousand times.
he imagined pinning your wrists above your head with one hand while he fed you every inch, slow enough that you felt every throb, every vein, the way your body would fight and then surrender. he pictured the tears you'd cry not from pain, but from being seen so completely there was nowhere left to hide.
he wanted to ruin you for anyone else and then spend the rest of his life making you come so hard you forgot there had ever been a world before him.
it steadied him.
because Hollis Frazier wasn't afraid of loving too much.
he was afraid of a world where he didn't get to love you at all.
you noticed it before you even reach the top step.
the box is small, too small to be from any store you actually buy things from and it's sitting dead center on your welcome mat like someone measured it out. the kind of deliberate placement that makes your stomach flip, because it isn't sloppy or random.
it’s... intentional. and the second you see the pattern on the wrapping paper, your heart lurches.
you know what's inside before you touch it.
because you spent five whole minutes in that little boutique downtown earlier today, turning that exact item over in your hands.
admiring it. debating it. wanting it. and then telling yourself you shouldn't spend money on something so unnecessary. you set it back on the shelf, walked away, and that was the end of it.
except apparently it wasn't.
your fingers hover over the box, and you swear the air feels heavier like someone is holding their breath with you. watching. waiting.
you unlock your door first, push it open, check the corners of your entryway like you always do now. then you go back and pick up the box with hands that feel too warm and too cold all at once.
inside the box is the exact thing you almost bought.
perfect condition.
perfectly wrapped.
perfectly wrong.
and that's when the slow dread starts pooling behind your ribs not the sharp, stabbing kind, but the heavy, sinking one, like your body already knows something your brain doesn't want to understand.
because this isn't the first time.
not even close.
for months now, you've had this... feeling.
like someone's eyes were pressed between your shoulder blades.
like someone was just a few inches outside your peripheral.
like a presence that never fully leaves, just shifts.
at first, you told yourself it was stress. lack of sleep. too much caffeine, too little sunlight.
you brushed it off because the alternative the idea that someone could be following you sounded dramatic and paranoid and way too close to the plot of a movie.
but then the little things started.
a soft knock on your door at 10:00 p.m.
you opened it, heartbeat rattling your teeth no one there.
except a tiny seashell, placed neatly on the mat.
you hadn't gone near the beach that day.
but you had stopped by the pier on your lunch break and stared at the water for a while.
then another night, another knock lighter this time, almost playful.
just a folded piece of paper with a dried wildflower inside.
the same kind of flower you'd absentmindedly picked from the path on your walk home earlier.
and then the most unsettling one.
you had a day where you weren't yourself.
you sat in your car after work, hands pressed to your eyes, breathing slow, trying not to fall apart right there in the parking lot. no tears, just that crushing weight that made your chest ache.
you didn't speak.
you didn't move.
you didn't tell anyone.
but the next morning, there was a small box waiting.
inside: herbal tea packets labeled "calming," the exact brand you used to buy when you had panic attacks in high school.
no note.
no explanation.
just care that felt too intimate to be comforting.
you told yourself it had to be a coincidence
some glitch in the universe, some overly kind stranger who just happened to guess the perfect gifts, over and over, with impossible accuracy.
but now?
standing in your doorway, holding the item you looked at in a store only hours ago something no one else saw, something you didn't post about or mention or carry around long enough for anyone to notice, there's no comforting lie left.
whoever is doing this... they're watching you.
really watching you.
following you. studying you. learning the things you want before you even let yourself want them.
and for the first time in months, the quiet truth finally unclenches in your mind:
you’re not imagining it.
someone has been there the whole time.
close enough to track your footsteps.
close enough to know your habits.
close enough to want to be unseen... and still leave pieces of themselves behind.
and the worst part?
as you stand there, holding the gift you didn't buy, you can't shake the feeling that whoever placed it on your doorstep...
...is still close enough to see the look on your face right now.
you sit cross legged on your bed, the soft glow of the desk lamp casting warm circles around your room like a quiet sanctuary.
the notebook's pages are worn, edges curling like they've been cradled in your hands for years because maybe they have.
tonight, you press the pen to paper, letting the words spill out like a whispered confession you're too scared to say out loud.
Hollis.
the name feels heavy on your tongue, like it carries the weight of a thousand things unsaid. you write it down, slow, deliberate, as if spelling it out might somehow make it more real or maybe less so.
you’ve had this crush for what feels like forever. it’s the kind of crush that colors your day in soft shades of hope and quiet longing. the way he laughs, like it's a secret meant only for you. the way his eyes catch the light just right, glinting with something unspoken and magnetic. how even the smallest glance from him sends a jolt through your chest, a spark you can't quite explain.
sometimes, you catch yourself watching him from across the room, pretending it's nothing, telling yourself you're just people watching. but really, you're tracing the curve of his jaw, memorizing the way his fingers curl around a coffee cup, the way his voice dips when he talks to you.
you tell yourself this is harmless. just a crush. just a little flicker in your heart that you can control. but deep down, it feels like a wildfire, burning quiet and fierce all at once.
and then there's the other side the shadow that creeps in when you're alone, when the world quiets down enough to hear the whispers of your own fears.
because you've been feeling watched. for months now. like there's eyes on you that don't blink, a presence that follows your every step. you’ve told yourself it's paranoia. anxiety. stress. anything but the truth.
the truth that someone is out there, lurking just beyond your line of sight, leaving those gifts, those signs that only you notice. the knock on the door when no one's there. the little trinkets that seem impossible to explain.
and you can't stop wondering what if this person finds out about Hollis? what if you drag him into this nightmare? you’d never want that for him. he doesn't deserve to be tangled in your mess, to be pulled into the chaos that stalks your days and haunts your nights.
you imagine telling him maybe when things get better, when you're braver but the thought twists your stomach. because what if he's scared? what if he runs? what if you lose the one person whose smile makes the darkness seem a little less heavy?
you bite your lip, scribbling furiously now, as if pouring your fears onto the page might somehow keep them contained. you write about the way your heart races whenever you see him, and how it's tangled with a fear you can't shake.
i don't want to lose the possibility of him.
you write that over and over, the words trembling with everything you can't say out loud.
and in the quiet of your room, with only the scratch of pen against paper, you don't notice the shadow pressed just outside your window. the silent watcher whose eyes trace every curve of your face, who knows every beat of your heart, and who waits patiently, obsessed, invisible.
because while you write about Hollis, not knowing the truth, he's already stepped into your world in ways you can't imagine.
watching. waiting. loving you in his own dangerous way.
the pen trembles in your hand as you pause, heart pounding with the weight of your own words. you glance up, blinking against the sudden sharpness in the air like the room just exhaled, and you weren't ready for it.
a shiver curls up your spine. the silence feels too heavy now, thick with something unseen. you lift your eyes to the window just beside your bed, the sheer curtain fluttering ever so slightly, but the street outside is empty, bathed in the pale glow of the streetlamp.
you tell yourself it's nothing. just the night settling in.
but it isn't nothing.
because out there, behind the glass, a shadow leans close, silent and still.
his eyes are fixed on you, tracing the way your fingers clutch the pen, the subtle tilt of your head, the crease that forms between your brows when you wrestle with your thoughts. he watches the soft rise and fall of your chest, the way the dim light sketches delicate lines across your face, revealing all the vulnerabilities you try to hide.
he’s there in every moment you think you're alone.
invisible.
unseen.
and yet, impossibly close.
you rub your arms, trying to shake off the prickling sensation crawling across your skin, but the feeling lingers, like a whisper just beyond hearing.
your breath catches, and your gaze darts around the room, searching for a presence that isn't there. the night wraps around you like a cold hug, and suddenly you're not so sure your sanctuary is safe anymore.
unknowingly, you're being watched not by some distant stranger, but by the one you've been writing about, the one your heart aches for.
Hollis.
he stays just beyond the light's reach, his expression unreadable, a mix of longing and something darker flickering in his eyes.
and as you turn back to your journal, unaware, he lets out a quiet breath, savoring the moment the closeness, the secret.
because in his mind, this is love.
his love.
and nothing will stop him from keeping you within his sight.
you turn into your driveway, headlights sweeping across the front steps before fading into the dark. the engine's still humming when you catch movement on the sidewalk a tall silhouette cutting through the warm glow of the streetlamp.
Hollis.
your stomach dips. not in fear in that stupid, dizzy way it always does around him.
you kill the ignition, heart thudding a little too loud, and step out of the car. you’re halfway leaning into the passenger seat, tugging your purse onto your shoulder and gathering the two grocery bags by their thin plastic handles, when you hear his voice behind you.
"hey."
just that. soft, almost surprised. like he wasn't expecting to see you even though he most definitely timed this to the exact second.
you whip around, hugging your purse to your chest as the grocery bags dangle from your fingers. "oh-hi. what are you doing out here?"
he nods toward the cluster of houses down the block. "was at a friend's. i parked a few streets over."
he gestures vaguely behind him, casual but calculated. "then i saw your car go by."
your pulse skips. there’s something sweet about the way he says it. almost shy. almost.
"oh," you say, brushing hair behind your ear. "yeah. long day."
he steps closer, hands in his pockets, that lazy half grin tugging at his mouth. "do you need help?"
before you can answer, he reaches for you taking the grocery bags right out of your hands with smooth, confident ease, like he's done it a hundred times.
"i- you don't have to-" you start, but he's already walking toward your front door, glancing back like he's waiting for you to unlock it.
"come on," he says. "it’s late."
there’s something in his eyes that pulls you forward, something warm and magnetic and dangerous. you fumble with your keys, trying not to think about the fact that Hollis is standing on your porch with your grocery bags like it's the most natural thing in the world.
the door clicks softly behind you, sealing out the night. the familiar scent of home wraps around you like a worn blanket, comforting and safe. the silence between you feels thick, heavy with things unspoken.
Hollis moves toward the kitchen counter and sets down the bags with careful hands. he leans back against the edge, arms crossed loosely, eyes tracing your face with a quiet attentiveness that makes your pulse hitch.
"how’ve you been?" his voice is low, measured, gentle like he's offering a fragile lifeline you're not sure you're ready to grasp.
you swallow hard, the words lodged somewhere between your ribs. you want to be honest, to tell him about the exhaustion that seeps into your bones, the restless nights, the constant unease you push down beneath a smile. but it's hard to let him see that part of you.
hard to admit you don't have it all together.
"busy," you say finally, your voice a soft breath that barely fills the space.
he nods slowly, not pushing, just waiting, letting the silence stretch between you like a fragile thread.
"yeah?" he murmurs.
you fiddle with the strap of your bag, fingers trembling just slightly. your gaze drifts to the window, to the dark outside, but you don't look away from him.
"things have been... a lot," you admit.
"more than usual."
his eyes soften, warm and steady, like he wants to gather you up, hold the weight of whatever you're carrying without judgment.
"i get that," he says quietly. "sometimes everything just piles up, and it's hard to find a moment to breathe."
you nod, the tight knot in your chest loosening just a little. it’s comforting, the way he speaks like he understands the parts you don't say aloud.
there’s a pause, thick and electric. you feel the heat of his presence, the way his body leans just slightly toward yours, as if the space between you is charged with something unspoken but undeniable.
he studies your face for a beat too long, something soft settling in his eyes.
"if you ever need to talk," he murmurs, voice low and steady, "you can always talk to me."
the sincerity in his tone lands like a warm hand on your chest steadying, grounding, disarming.
you meet his gaze, and for a moment, the rest of the world slips away the noise, the fear, the secrets.
it’s just you and him.
his eyes hold something vulnerable, something genuine that makes your heart ache in a way you didn't expect.
you want to tell him so much, but the weight of your secret the stalking, the gifts, the watching presses down, and you swallow it back.
instead, you offer a small, tentative smile.
"thanks," you say, voice soft.
he returns the smile, slow and sure, like a quiet promise.
for a long moment, you both just stand there wrapped in the silence, the soft hum of the house around you.
you feel his gaze tracing the line of your jaw, the way your eyes dart away and back again, the small tremble in your fingers.
and though no words are spoken, there's an unspoken question hanging between you, fragile and raw.
something deep and aching and full of hope.
"you seem... different," he says carefully, voice low but steady. "like there's something on your mind."
you stiffen, shoulders inching up the slightest bit as your breath catches. it’s the truth you feel frayed, like your edges are raw and exposed but it's also a question that digs too deep, too fast.
"i’ve been... going through a lot," you say, your voice barely above a whisper. the words taste bitter on your tongue, heavy with things you're not ready to say out loud.
his eyes soften. "if you want to... we can talk about it."
there’s no pressure in his tone just a genuine offering, like he means it, like he really wants to know.
you hesitate, heart hammering in your chest, the vulnerability tangling with something sweeter hope, maybe? the kind that makes your breath catch.
but you can't give him the whole story. not yet.
instead, you offer a small, wry smile.
"it's complicated."
he nods, unruffled by your evasion.
"complicated's usually where the best stories start."
his voice is gentle, sincere, and it makes your heart flip in a way you're not sure you're ready for.
you glance up, meeting his gaze, and suddenly the room feels charged like every breath is a secret waiting to be shared.
"i don't want to drag you into it," you say quietly, voice trembling just a little. "it's not something i want anyone to get caught up in."
he moves closer, slow and intentional, until the air between you hums with that charged, impossible tension. his eyes trace over your face the worry, the guarded edges, the fear you're trying to hide.
his voice drops, steady enough to quiet every frantic thought racing through you.
"you're not dragging me anywhere."
and suddenly the words don't feel like reassurance they feel like an anchor, like something he's staking himself to.
your throat tightens, and you swallow hard, nerves fluttering beneath your ribs like restless wings. every small movement between you seems amplified the subtle shift in his stance, the way his gaze doesn't flinch from yours. the room feels smaller, the air heavier, thick with a tension that's equal parts fragile and fierce.
your eyes flick to his soft lips, parted slightly as if waiting for something and in that moment, your heart skips, caught in the pull of something deeper than just a crush. it’s the kindness in his eyes, the way he listens, the way he gives you room to breathe without stepping back, like he sees all the layers you try to hide.
you think about how sweet he's been the way he noticed when you were tired, how he didn't rush you, how his presence is a balm against the chaos you're carrying.
it's a quiet kind of feeling, not loud or demanding, but patient and sure.
your breath catches as your thoughts swirl a mix of hope and fear, of wanting to reach out and connect but still holding back.
and yet, something unspoken tugs at you, a silent invitation that you can't ignore.
before your mind can talk you out of it, before hesitation can close the space between you, you lean in.
the world narrows to the soft curve of his lips, the warmth of his breath mingling with yours, the steady thrum of his heartbeat against your chest.
your lips meet his in a slow, tentative kiss gentle and searching, like a question whispered in the dark. it's filled with everything you haven't said, everything you're afraid to say.
he responds with a tenderness that takes your breath away, his hands coming up to rest lightly on your waist, steady and sure.
there's no rush, no pressure just a quiet affirmation that you're both here, right now, holding onto something fragile and precious.
the kiss deepens, his lips parting slightly against yours, a soft invitation you can't resist as his tongue brushes yours. his hands tighten just a fraction at your waist, grounding you as if anchoring you to this moment, this fragile connection that's been building in every glance, every word.
you inhale sharply, the warmth of him flooding your senses, and instinctively, your hands find their way to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath your fingers. it’s steady. strong. familiar.
he tilts his head, deepening the kiss, his touch growing more confident like he's been holding back and now, finally, letting himself fall in.
your body responds, every nerve alive, every breath hitching as the space between you dissolves. you take a small step backward, your hand slipping from his chest to slide along his arm, gently steering him toward the hallway.
he follows without hesitation, lips never leaving yours, his hands sliding up from your waist to cradle your face, thumbs brushing lightly over your cheekbones. the heat between you intensifies, a slow burn that spreads through your veins.
the quiet of the house wraps around you both, but in this charged bubble, everything else fades. the shadows on the walls seem to flicker with the rhythm of your breaths, the unspoken promise in every touch.
you guide him softly down the hallway, heart pounding loud enough you're sure he can hear it. the world narrows to this him, you, the electric current that crackles in the space between.
When the door to your room closes softly behind you, the kiss breaks for just a moment your foreheads resting together, breaths mingling, eyes locked in silent conversation.
his hands drop from your face to your waist again, fingers tracing slow, deliberate patterns that send shivers down your spine.
there’s a hunger in his eyes now, tempered by tenderness, and you realize this is more than just a kiss. it’s a quiet surrender to something deep and undeniable.
you lean in again, the kiss growing more urgent, more claiming, but never losing the softness that holds you both steady.
in that moment, everything you've been holding back the fear, the longing, the hope melds into something raw and beautiful, written in the language of lips and touch.
the air between you thickens, heavy with heat and tension, as his lips trail down your jawline, warm and insistent.
you don't even realize you've stumbled backward until the softness of your bed cushions your fall, the world tilting gently beneath you.
he’s on top of you now, his weight steady, grounding but his touch is light, almost reverent, as if afraid to break the fragile spell wrapping around you both.
his hands find your face again, fingers tracing the curve of your cheek with a tenderness that sets your skin alight. you close your eyes, losing yourself in the rhythm of his breath against your neck, the way his mouth moves like a whispered promise along your skin. the room shrinks until there's nothing but him, you, and the quiet symphony of your racing heartbeats.
but then something shifts.
amid the warmth and softness, a small, foreign weight slips free from the pocket of his jacket, falling silently onto the floor beside the bed. you don't notice it at first not until his mouth moves along your neck and your eyes drift open, hazy and unfocused.
that's when you see it.
a piece of cardboard, slightly bent at the edges.
your breath catches, sharp and sudden.
because you know exactly what it is before you even sit up.
the coffee sleeve you doodled on this morning.
the one you traced little stars across while zoning out at the café counter.
the one you tossed in the trash on your way out, not thinking twice.
now it lies on your bedroom floor.
perfectly intact.
smoothed out.
placed so carefully it feels intentional like a signature.
your pulse stutters, a tremor racing beneath your skin as the realization slams into you.
you freeze, the warmth of his mouth still on your neck but suddenly feeling a thousand miles away. your body goes still beneath him, breath shallow, mind spiraling.
his hands pause, and he notices the way your gaze snaps to the object on the floor, the sudden stillness seeping into your every muscle. he follows your eyes, then looks down, seeing the tiny souvenir that's been your silent torment, the evidence of his unseen watchfulness.
his expression shifts surprise flickers, then something softer, more vulnerable.
the edge of something dark fades, replaced by something almost sorrowful. he leans closer, brushing a stray lock of hair from your forehead as he speaks, voice low and steady.
"i'm not gonna hurt you."
the words hang in the air, fragile but certain.
he strokes your face with the gentlest touch you've ever known, thumb tracing slow brushing over your cheek. his eyes search yours, sincere and open.
"i would never hurt you."
your throat tightens, a thousand emotions colliding fear, confusion, longing, disbelief. you swallow hard, struggling to make sense of the storm inside you.
finally, you whisper, barely audible, "if i asked you to leave right now... would you?"
he doesn't hesitate.
"no questions asked."
his voice is calm, unwavering, filled with a truth you can't deny. you study his face, searching for anything but you find only honesty, a raw, desperate kind of love twisted in the darkness.
and despite every warning screaming inside you, despite the chaos of your own mind, you find yourself drawn to him again.
slowly, deliberately, you close the distance between you, pressing your lips to his once more.
the kiss is different now less tentative, layered with a fierce urgency that consumes you both.
it's a surrender to the messiness of desire and fear, hope and doubt, tangled together in a bittersweet dance only you two can understand.
and in that moment, nothing else matters except the fragile, burning connection that refuses to be broken.
the kiss is different now, no longer a question, no longer careful.
it's a confession.
it's a claim.
it's months of his breath held in the dark, finally spilling into your mouth, hot and desperate and reverent all at once.
you fist your hands in the front of his shirt and drag him down on top of you properly, thighs parting so he can settle between them like he was carved to fit there. he makes a broken sound against your tongue, half relief, half worship, and his hips roll once, slow and deliberate, letting you feel exactly how hard he already is.
he pulls back just far enough to look at you, pupils blown wide, lips swollen and wet.
"are you scared of me?" he asks, voice raw, like the answer might kill him.
you should be.
every rational part of you is screaming that you should be.
every rational part of you is screaming that you should be.
but the truth slips out before you can stop it, soft and steady and terrifyingly honest.
"no."
a pause. your fingers slide up into his hair, nails scraping his scalp. "i'm not scared of you, Hollis."
something fractures in his expression, something fragile and ferocious.
his forehead drops to yours, and he exhales your name like it hurts.
"fuck," he whispers. "say it again."
"i'm not scared."
he kisses you again, deeper, filthier, tongue sliding against yours like he's trying to drink the words straight out of your mouth.
his hands are everywhere now, sliding under your shirt, palms spreading over your ribs, thumbs brushing the undersides of your breasts with trembling reverence.
when he finds you're not wearing a bra, he groans like he's been stabbed, cups you fully, rolls your nipples between his fingers until you're arching off the bed and gasping into him.
you tug at his jacket, frantic. he shrugs it off without breaking the kiss, lets it fall to the floor on top of the coffee sleeve that started this whole unraveling. then his shirt is gone and you finally get your hands on warm skin, muscle flexing under your palms as you drag your nails down his back hard enough to leave marks.
he hisses, hips jerking against you.
“i've been thinking about this every night," he rasps against your throat. “every single night i watched you through that fucking window, i imagined how you'd sound when i finally got my mouth on you."
his words should terrify you.
they don't.
they flood you with wet heat instead.
he drags your shirt up and off, mouth descending immediately, kissing, licking, sucking bruises into the tops of your breasts like he's trying to brand you from the inside out.
when he closes his lips around one nipple, you cry out, back bowing, fingers twisting in his hair to hold him there. he stays for what feels like hours, switching sides, teeth grazing, tongue soothing, until you're writhing beneath him and soaked through your panties.
"Hollis-"
it comes out a plea.
he lifts his head, eyes wild. "tell me what you need, baby. anything. i’ll give you anything."
you reach for the button of his jeans with shaking hands. he helps you, frantic now, kicking them off until he's naked and gorgeous and heavy between your thighs.
you wrap your fingers around him.
thick, hot, leaking at the tip.
he drops his head to your shoulder, mouth dragging hot and open mouthed up the length of your neck in one slow, reverent kiss, before the guttural sound tears out of him and vibrates through your whole body.
"Jesus fuck, your hand-"
you stroke him once, slow, twisting at the head, and he thrusts into your grip like he can't help it.
"i need you inside me," you whisper, the words raw against his mouth. "every time i touched myself in this bed, i pretended it was you."
that does it.
he makes a sound like he's dying and rips your shorts and panties down your legs in one rough motion. then his hand is between your thighs, two fingers sliding through how wet you are, spreading it up over your clit until you're shaking.
"this for me?" he asks, voice wrecked. "all this time you were dripping for the guy who watched you sleep?"
"yes," you moan, hips chasing his hand.
"yes, yes-"
he pushes those two fingers inside you without warning and you clench around them so hard your vision whites out. he curls his fingers, finds that spot like he was born knowing it, and strokes slow, relentless, until your breath is breaking and your nails are digging red lines into his shoulders.
"look at you," he whispers, reverent, watching his fingers disappear into you again and again. "took me months to earn this. months of being so good, staying in the dark, keeping my hands to myself. and now you're letting me inside."
you sob out his name.
he pulls his fingers free, brings them to his mouth, licking them clean while holding your gaze. then he's nudging your thighs wider, lining himself up, the head of his cock dragging through your folds until you're both shaking.
"please," you whisper.
he pushes in slow, so fucking slow, eyes locked on yours, watching every flicker across your face as he stretches you open inch by inch. when he bottoms out you both still, foreheads pressed together, breathing each other's air.
he lets out a shaky breath against your mouth, voice low and wrecked.
"fuck... you feel how perfect you take me?"
like you were waiting for this too.
then he starts to move.
not fast. not yet.
long, deep strokes that drag over every sensitive place inside you, like he's memorizing the way you feel around him.
his hand finds yours, lacing your fingers together, pinning it to the pillow beside your head. the other hand slides under your lower back, tilting your hips so he hits deeper, and you cry out every time he bottoms out.
he never looks away from your face.
every thrust is paired with a confession, whispered against your mouth like communion.
"watched you cum on your own fingers thinking you were alone-"
thrust.
"i wanted to crawl through that window and lick you clean-"
thrust.
"jerked off in my car outside your house with your name on my tongue-"
thrust.
"now i get to feel you fall apart on my cock instead. fuck, you're so perfect-"
your second orgasm builds slow and devastating, coaxed out of you by the drag of him inside you and the weight of his words and the way he's looking at you like you're the answer to every prayer he's ever had. when it crests, you clamp down around him so hard he groans like he's in pain, pace stuttering.
"cum for me angel," he begs, voice breaking. "i want to feel it-"
"Holli-"
you shatter.
it rolls through you in waves, your thighs trembling around his hips, your back arching off the bed, his name torn out of you like a sob.
he fucks you through it, slow, relentless, drawing it out until you're oversensitive and clinging to him.
only then does he let himself go.
he buries his face in your neck, hips snapping hard and fast now, chasing his own release with desperate, filthy thrusts.
you wrap your legs high around his waist, nails raking down his back, and he cums with a choked sound that's half your name, half a prayer. you feel every pulse as he spills deep inside you, hips jerking, arms shaking as he holds you like he's scared you'll disappear.
for a long moment, there's nothing but the sound of your breathing and the thud of his heartbeat against your chest.
he doesn't pull out.
he stays inside you for a long, trembling minute, forehead pressed to yours, breathing like he just ran ten miles and found heaven at the finish line. when he finally slips out, slow, careful, reluctant.
you both exhale at the same time, like the air itself is mourning the loss. a soft, wet sound follows as he leaves you empty and aching, and he immediately lowers his mouth to yours again, kissing you deep and lazy, tasting himself on your tongue like he's greedy for every last piece of this moment.
he can't stop.
won't stop.
his lips move over yours again and again, soft, reverent, endless, until your jaw aches in the sweetest way and you're dizzy with it.
eventually, he rolls to the side, pulling you with him so you're tucked against his chest, one of his arms locked around your waist, the other sliding up to cradle the back of your head. your legs tangle automatically.
the room is quiet except for the low hum of the fan and the slowing thunder of two heartbeats learning how to beat together.
you lie there in the dark, skin cooling, sheets twisted beneath you, his fingertips drawing idle circles on your bare back.
minutes stretch, thick and honey slow.
then you turn your face into his neck and whisper it, so soft it's almost nothing.
"no more watching me."
he stills. you feel the words settle over him like a blanket.
a second passes. two.
then his chest moves with a quiet laugh, warm against your cheek.
"i’ll just call you when i wanna see you now," he murmurs, voice thick with sleep and something impossibly tender.
you pull back just enough to meet his eyes.
moonlight slips through the blinds, tracing silver across his cheekbones, the curve of his lips, the faint red marks your nails left on his shoulder. his gaze is soft, open completely unguarded in a way that makes your chest ache.
you both smile a small, secret smile, the kind that says maybe the thing you were too scared to believe is suddenly closer than you dared imagine.
he leans in again, lips brushing yours soft, slow. a kiss that feels like a quiet promise, not needing words because it already says everything.
and as the night stretches on around you, the world fades just enough for this moment to breathe raw, imperfect, and real.
nothing's certain, nothing's finished. but right now, this is enough.
just you. just him. and whatever comes next.
