“More… please I need more…” You were writhing below him, body slick with sweat, burning from the exertion and the fever. Sylus was panting above you, hair sticking to his forehead as he lowered himself from his hands to his arms. “Greedy…”
The kisses were wet, open-mouthed along your salty skin. His cock, still half inside of you, throbbing despite coming four or five times already. “Sy, it hurts, please…” Your nails dig into his shoulders, trying to turn your head to meet his lips.
“My poor baby.” The vibration of his words has your back arching, whimpering as he pushes all the way back in.
“Is it terrible for me to say I like having you like this?” He reluctantly pulls his lips from your skin, to look at your fucked-out face. His hips moved on their own, the sight fueling his movements just to see the relief flood your features. “Should wear off in a few hours, hopefully.”
But even as you succumbed to the pleasure, you could tell he didn’t want it to end. “Q-quit talking and fuck me harder…!”
The aphrodisiac was still flooding your veins, clouding your head. Every stroke only intensifies the hunger pooling deep in your belly. All you wanted was him, engulfing every one of your senses.
Sylus only huffed out a laugh, adjusting himself to gather your legs and press them brutally against your chest. The new angle knocked the wind out of you as he used it to his advantage and thrusted his lips harder. Just as you had not so kindly asked.
But, given your circumstances, he’d let it slide. “Sy!” You nearly yelled, eyes threatening to roll back as pleasure seeped through your aching body. Your cunt sputters around him for the umpteenth time since getting back to Onychinus’ base, but still not quite sating the endless desire to devour him whole.
“It’s going to be a long night, hmm?”
“Harder, Xavier! Please, I need it so bad…” Your face was pressed into his pillow, his hands were heavy on your bruised hips. He had already brought you to your end at least seven times, but the fever was still burning, your limbs still felt like they were filled with jello.
“I know, my girl, I know.” You couldn’t even pull yourself back enough to look at him, eyes welling with tease as his hips snapped harder against your plush skin. “Gonna fuck this awful poison right out of you, my girl. Gonna make you feel so much better.”
Cum was dripping obscenely down your inner thighs, You weren’t sure how many times Xavier had cum, but you knew your body craved more. “X-Xavier…!” You wailed, muffled by his pillow as he kissed your cervix with the head of his cock.
A sick sense of satisfaction bubbled in your stomach, lips curling into a cock-drunk smile as you clenched around him. “Cum in me again, I need to feel you cum in me.” Every ounce of shame left your body – thanks to the aphrodisiac from the wanderer.
Xavier didn’t mind it one bit, not when he could see your flushed face and drool staining his pillow case.
“You’re so cute like this, my girl. So pretty and fucked out just for me, begging for my cock. I…” He groans, cock twitching as he feels you shudder around him. “I don’t want to see you in pain, but you’re just so adorable…” He’s coming before he can stop himself, flooding your greedy womb with his seed, sending you right over the edge again.
You soak his thighs, his abdomen, every ounce of your release wetting his skin, the sheets. It was so lewd, so hot, you could only cry out as Xavier nearly collapsed on your back, hips still rutting endlessly into the tight, warm embrace of your greedy cunt.
“Z…Z please I need more than this…!” Tears leaked down your face, skin hot with the fever that made your entire body tremble. His head had been buried between your thighs for god knows how long at this point, but the pit in your stomach didn’t ease up.
Not even after coming on his tongue three times, not when his fingers fucked into you either. “Z it hurts so much, m’sorry for not being more careful and I’m sorry for saying his cologne smelt good but can you please just fuck me?”
Your chest heaves with restrained sobs, his hazel eyes dare to peek up at you over the swell of your pubic bone, mouth still occupied with your cunt. You’re coming again, back arching and thighs twitching as you try to control the near primal noises that threaten to leave you.
“It seems the effects of the wanderer’s aphrodisiac are not contagious.” He speaks as if he doesn’t have your cum glistening on his chin, his lips, nearly dripping down his neck. “Since I can confirm we won’t both fall ill from this…”
You choke on a sob as the dull head of his cock catches on your entrance, so slippery that it nearly pushes right in.
“I can fulfill my duties of making you feel better.” His mouth swallows up all of your noises, not daring to tease you further. You’ve had him in you more times than you can count, but this time? This time it has you entire body burning, nails leaving crescent shapes in his tense shoulder blades as his hips find the rhythm he knows you love.
Every drag of his cock as you crying into his mouth, tears blurring your vision as he pulls away to stare down at your slack-jawed expression. “Feel this, feel every inch of me inside of you, my love. Only think about me. Nobody else, got it?”
That’s all it took for your cunt to sputter around him, gushing your release in record time. “Got it?” Zayne didn’t falter, fucking you through your orgasm and keeping the hollow ache of the aphrodisiac in the far back of your mind. “G-got it…” you couldn’t even remember what he had said at this point, slowly succumbing to the fever.
“You… you’re squeezing me so fuckin’ tight, pips…” The amount of sweat dripping down Caleb’s forehead had you wondering who was more affected by the wanderer’s aphrodisiac. “Harder, Caleb, I need it so deep it hurts.”
Your chest bounced with each thrust, pushing you inch by inch up his bed until your head threatened to smack against the wooden headboard. “I can’t hurt ya, pips… no chance…!” Still, he pushed your thighs higher, squishing them into your breasts as he angled his cock deeper. “Caleb…!” The scream that tears your throat is deafening, nails digging so deep into his forearms that blood starts to well.
“T-this aphrodisiac, does it also increase your strength?” The pain only added to his pleasure, the entire lower half of his body recoiling every time he bottomed out in your tight cunt. “Caleb…!” You could only babble his name, eyes blurring with tears as pleasure finally started to outweigh the ache that had been suffocating you.
“Just keep saying my name, baby. I’ll make it all better.” He could feel your walls spasming around him, a warm gush of your arousal covering his groin. “Feel s’good doesn’t it? I’ve got you, just like when we were younger, yeah? I’ll take care of you.”
Your whimpers fill the bedroom, mixed with sniffles as your fingers finally ease their grip and start clawing at his skin instead. “Does it feel better? You’re starting to relax.” The timber of his voice as your pleasure swirling, another orgasm building in your gut as pleasure overwhelms your poor swollen pussy.
“Cum for me again, baby. It’ll make you feel so much better…”
“Cutieee!” Rafayel’s head fell back against the couch, you hadn’t even been able to make it to the bedroom. Hell, you had barely gotten through the doors of Mo Art Studio before you were ripping at his clothing. “You’re gonna hurt yourself…”
The couch creaked with the force of your hips, dropping yourself down on his cock again and again. Nothing but the sound of your slick bodies connecting and the smell of sex filled the room. “No m’not, feels so good…”
Your cheeks were stained with tears, your nails digging into the leather of the couch as Rafayel’s dug into the skin of your hips.
“S-shit… you’re so hot.” his head falls back, sweaty and flushed as the moonlight washes over you both. You lost track of how many times you’d already cum, all you knew is the evidence was smeared on your thighs, his groin, leaking down to the couch below you. “T-to the touch or in general?”
Your smile is crooked as you drop all your weight back down, rolling your hips deliciously against his and shivering at the sensation of his tip kissing your cervix. “All of the above.” A raspy gasp, one hand leaving your hip to grab your head. The kiss is a hard clash of teeth and tongue, saliva dripping down your chin.
“Fuck I wanna devour you, Raf. Please… you’d let me, right?” Your pupils were blown wide, lips swollen from his kisses, completely bathed in the cool glow of the moon coming from the window right behind him. You looked like a goddess, or maybe the most dangerous siren the sea god had ever encountered.

hi!! I love ur work sm and I wanted to ask how you think the lads would do in no nut november? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) stay frosty!!!
hi beautiful, thank you so much!!! i’m gonna do a real headcanon at the end of the month about NNN, but i will 100% tell you how they’d do :3
CALEB — less than a day
caleb would want to participate, i think. he would really try, but the second he sees a sliver of your bare skin or hears you call him ‘baby’, he’s so bricked and ready to throw the plans he had for no nut november out the window. i just think caleb is the easiest to fold merely because he’s wanted you forever and he hates not being inside of you when that’s his favorite place to be. so yeah, as soon as he’s off work and comes home to you in a big shirt with nothing but panties on underneath, you’re getting split in half and he’s filling you up. fuck no nut november, he’d rather just fuck you instead :3
XAVIER — three days
xavier is constantly in heat… maybe it’s an alien thing… or maybe sex is something that helps him recharge, but i give him three days TOPS before he loses. he doesn’t even know why he agreed to the stupid challenge anyway—he really just does whatever you tell him to. but you know him and you know xavier lacks patience and self control for this month-long challenge. the first 3 days without being buried inside you felt like a lifetime for him and you think he could really handle 30 days of no sex? absolutely not. xavier, also possessive by nature, can’t stand the thought of not being able to claim you and fuck you full of his cum… so on november 3rd, he’s pounding on your door and he practically ravages you in the doorway.
ZAYNE — 8 days and 23 hours
contrary to popular belief…. zayne can barely make it past a week. yes, he has self control and he knows how to restrain himself, but he can’t do that with you. zayne says i love you in many ways, but this is how he says it the loudest. he needs to be pressed against you with your hands in his while he kisses you everywhere. he needs to be unravel inside of you after a long day at work. in short, he just needs you. i can see him trying his hardest not to crumble—work keeps him busy and his mind off of you, but the longer he goes without his girl, the snappier he gets. so when he gets home late from a bad day at work and you’re in his bed welcoming him home, he just can’t take it anymore and takes you right then and there.
RAFAYEL — 16 days
i might get tomatoes thrown at me but i think raf could go awhile without sex especially if he’s being challenged and… it’s impressive, honestly. you doubted he could last a week and he proved you wrong when you didn’t see a text begging you to come over. but then day 16 comes and you get spammed with texts that read, “cutie…. please” and “i need you” and “pls come over i cant take it” and then come the pictures of his hard, aching cock that you admittedly miss more than anything. and when you finally see him, you notice he’s flushed everywhere—his ears, his cheeks, his neck are all a shade of deep red—he looks just as bad as he did on ebb day and that’s when you know you’re in for a long, LONG night.
SYLUS — lasts all month
now… sylus is actually very patient man when it comes to pissing you off. if you challenge him to no nut november? well, okay then. he won’t cum for the entire month of november. easy. the flaw with this is you didn’t think that it would turn into a punishment for you. sylus ends up denying you everyday of the month with the excuse of “we have to wait till December, sweetie.” and the whole challenge just makes you realize that every time you and sylus have had sex, it was initiated by you and damn him and that stupid smug smirk and his nonchalance. as soon as the clock strikes midnight on december 1st, you’re on top of him making him cum over and over and over again. the honest truth is, sylus doesn’t really care about the challenge, but watching you get so angry and pent up made it so worth it. (he loves to ragebait you)
Synopsis: Deepspace Labs is a clinic dedicated to keeping Hybrid DNA pure and clinical. Enter at your own risk. Because these Hybrids are far from tame.
A/n: Last Kinktober post! I changed the prompt because I like this idea a smidge better. They are made for each individual LI but maybe in the future I will do a ‘Free for All’. Enjoy!
⋆˚🐾˖° XAVIER
Your ears press flat against your head, trembling as the nurse leads you deeper into the sterile white halls of Deepspace Laboratories. The contract you signed flashes in your mind—“Test Mate for Hybrid Compatibility." At the time, it had seemed like a way out. Free housing, tuition covered. All they asked in return was to let some pure-bred hybrid claim you as their temporary mate for a Rut.
As the door at the end of the hall looms closer, frosted glass etched with “Subject 11-7" in bold lettering makes your tail twitch restlessly.
The nurse punches a code into the keypad before offering what’s meant to be a reassuring smile.
“Don't worry. He's been very...eager for this."
The door slides open with an ominous hiss.
The air inside the containment room is thick with the musky, fevered scent of rut. Cloying and heavy, clinging to your lungs the moment you step in. And there, slumped against the far wall with his back turned, is Xavier.
You hadn’t read too much on his profile. He came from a good family, wealthy too. Evidently his father found it hard to find a proper mate for his son. His father just shoved Xavier and a handsome donation forward and let nature run its course.
His normally pristine white ears are flushed pink at the tips, twitching erratically as he grips his own thighs hard enough for claws to draw faint crescents through his thin gown. When he finally turns his head towards the door, his pupils are blown wide into dark voids barely rimmed by silvery blue.
“Who…?”His voice is hoarse his as nostrils flare taking in your scent. Bunny, like him. A shudder wracks through him before he whimpers.
“Smell so good…”
His eyes snap to the nurse, begging her to leave already. “You may go." He snarls, claws digging into metal when she doesn't move immediately. “I said. Go."
With a sharp bow she turns to leave, the door sliding shut with a final whoosh behind her. That's all the warning you get before Xavier is pouncing.
Rabbit Hybrids were notorious for two things:
Breeding and stamina.
Xavier had barely given your pretty cunt a sniff before he determined the slick dripping onto the medical cot was enough for him. His muscled frame, where more Hybrids of your kind were soft and plump, was hunched over you.
You’d lost count after the third time he filled you up. “Haaa…c-c’mon you can take it. It is not even-hngggg!-s’not even dripping yet.” He pants into your fluffy ear.
You whine face first into the pillows. His hips snap at a rate that makes you believe he’s part Cheetah instead of prey. Sticky strings of mixed cum connect your body. The smell of sex and desperation has long since seeped into the walls.
Your own long, floppy ears were caked in his saliva and sweat. Your fertile little womb would no doubt be perfect for all of his kits.
“Ah, please! Pleasepleaseplease-“ He’s pleading into your sweat soaked nape. “Gotta take it, my sweet Bunny. Gonna stuff y’so full.” His powerful haunches are balanced on both feet. The hands on your hips give you leverage and he’s drilling your cum soaked walls.
His feet thump against the creaky bed, desperate noises also signal another fast approach.
You squeal like you’ve been wounded, and a strong hand cups the back of your neck. “Doin’ so good. Pretty Bunny. Mmmm, feel s’hot. Here it comes, here it f-“ He cuts himself off as another load is pumped into your eager walls.
You don’t get a single second between rounds. Just a praise and a chaste kiss to the cheek before his fingers clamp around your cotton tail and drags you back onto his twitching cock.
⋆˚🐾˖° RAFAYEL
Your heart pounds as the nurse leads you deeper into the halls of Deepspace Laboratory, her heels clicking against the linoleum. Your feathers are slicked tight to your body in nervous submission, wings tucked close as your tail flattens against your back. Every instinct screaming that you’re walking into something far bigger than just a simple volunteer study.
The nurse stops abruptly at a door labeled TESTING CHAMBER - MATING COMPATIBILITY, her voice is unnervingly cheerful.
“You'll be paired with Subject Z-28 today! He’s quite…picky with his evaluations, but don’t worry. He’s been cleared for interaction." She doesn’t meet your eyes as she swipes her keycard. “Just remember, this is the comparability for interbreeding.”
Ah yes. The infamous, Mute Swan Hybrids, who are far more quiet than their counterparts Black Swans who honk and demand.
The door slides open with a quiet hiss, revealing a dimly lit chamber that smells faintly of saltwater and ink. And there, perched elegantly on the edge of an artificial pond, is Subject Z-28.
Rafayel.
A Black Swan Hybrid.
His obsidian feathers gleam under the sterile lab lights, contrasting starkly against his pale skin and those unnerving, piercing sunset eyes. His long legs are folded gracefully beneath him, almost lazily.
“Oh?" His voice is a melodic hum laced with amusement as he tilts his head. His black feathers rustling with the movement as if laughing at you silently.
“They sent me a little white swan?”* His slender fingers tap idly against knee before adding in faux sympathy, that does nothing hide sheer delight dancing behind his pretty iris.
“How cruel~.”
The Swan.
A bird of beauty, elegance, and loyalty who mates for life.
As his cock slides through a mess of slick and neatly trimmed hair, Rafayel might as well be all three as he moves over you.
His wings spread out like a sheltering cocoon of ink around your body, tail feathers fanning in a curtain to shield you both from the sterile, cold world outside.
He presses closer, lips grazing your collarbone as feathers rustle to brush against your cheek. “You spread so beautifully around me.”
He looks between your shaking thighs. His pretty perfect cock slides into awaiting wet folds. Your body accommodates immediately, desperately trying to milk him already. Your knees are pressed to your chest and spread out. Pretty white wings and feathers create an outline of your body. Like a fallen angel.
The grace in Rafeal’s movements is unparalleled. A dance that borders on hypnotizing as he moves. Each feather that grazes your skin is just the slightest touch of fire-hot silk, teasing and promising and never enough.
The way he rolls his hips is sinful. A sin you know you'll gladly sink down into willingly.
He doesn't move like a man; he moves like a God.
Your hips rise to meet each eager thrust. Where your moans of pleasure are quiet, his grunts and growls overpower them. It was absolutely true that Black Swans were so much louder than their counterparts.
But when it came to desperation, you were gushing over his length in mere minutes. His neck leans down, encircling your own as he feels how desperately you clench around his length.
Praise.
Rafayel loves praise. It fuels that ego of his like little else.
He growls against your skin, his lips brushing your pulse point, tasting the tension in that vein before dragging his tongue up your neck. "Cum for me, pretty girl."
And when your orgasm hits, so does the praise.
"So beautiful. So perfect. You are all the stars in my sky, the sun in my sky, and the very breath of my lungs." He's still fucking you through your peak, slow and steady, riding you through it. "And now I'm never letting you go. My muse.”
Because even a God can be selfish.
And Rafayel is nothing if not greedy when it comes to what's His.
There is absolutely so many feathers around the examination room that it looks like a poor pillow has been torn to shreds afterwards.
⋆˚🐾˖° ZAYNE
Your footsteps echo down the stark white hall as the nurse in front of you leads you to the hybrid labs. The sterile, antiseptic smell that fills the air leaves a slight burn in your nostrils. An ever present reminder where you are.
Your ears lower and your tail sways nervously behind you. You can't help but wonder what the people conducting the tests will think of you. What does this test even involve? You were barely given any information about the details as you signed the waiver, your eyes barely skimming the fine print.
Your species was known for being fast and powerful. But right now you felt reduced to a tamed house cat being led inside by treats.
The nurse stops in front of a nondescript door on the left, swiping their keycard. The door hisses open and she gestures you forward.
"In here."
Anxiety buzzes under your skin. You take a steadying breath, trying to calm yourself, and step inside.
The room beyond is brightly lit, every corner filled with a dizzying assortment of medical equipment. A single examination table is in the center of the room.
"Remove your clothing and hop on the table."
You did so happen to at least catch the part where your Doctor, would be your fellow test subject. A Hybrid desperately looking for someone to soothe his insufferable Ruts.
A Snow Leopard Hybrid.
The moment the door slides open again, your nose flares, overwhelmed by a scent so potent it makes your vision swim.
Spiced cedarwood. Frost-kissed musk. And beneath it all, something primal, something that burns straight through whatever suppressants he’s clearly drenched himself in.
The doctor’s gloved fingers flex at his sides like he’s resisting the urge to claw something apart, maybe himself.
When those sharp hazel eyes finally land on you, his pupils overtake every inch of his eyes.
Your species was known for its speed, but Zayne moves too fast for even you. It wasn’t a total surprise when your drooling face was shoved into the paper cover of the examination bed.
The stretch from his cock took little more than a few seconds before your body accepted him. His glasses fog when he presses balls-deep in your slick hole. You want to be snarky, to say something about introductions but the slow drag out of his cock has you wailing.
The first drag inside you is a white-hot shock, barbs catching on your walls in a way that makes your whole body jerk beneath him. It's not pain, not exactly—just an overwhelming stretch-and-catch sensation that has your claws scrabbling against the examination table for purchase as Zayne’s hips snap forward with predatory precision.
Every backward pull of his cock tugs, every thrust back in sends those ridged barbs scraping deliciously over tender inner walls. He’s stimulating nerves you didn't even know existed until now. Your thighs tremble violently, breaths coming in shallow pants as he fucks into you with single-minded intensity.
When one rough snap of his hips grinds those barbs deep against your cervix, you roar. Your vision is spotting at the edges from overstimulation while Zayne’s grip on your hips turns near-bone crushing.
“Ovulate." His voice is guttural, jagged around the edges like speaking takes all his effort amidst the all-consuming need driving him forward.
Judging by the way your slick drips thicker down your thighs, it’s easy to tell you were in fact fertile.
This isn't how he intended it, he meant for this to be a careful, scientific test between Hybrids. He never expected his animalistic side to take over like this, leaving nothing behind except raw, primal need.
But there's no denying the way the animal inside him growls in satisfaction as he sees a mate in this vulnerable, submitting state underneath him.
His fangs glisten in the blue light before sinking into the junction between your neck and shoulder. You seize up, baring your own fangs but his body shadows yours. Lithe muscle and strong arms pinning you to the bed as his cock throbs inside.
He brings a hand up into your hair, wraps it around his fist and shoves your face first into the bed. The pure domination has your walls fluttering around his cock, gummy walls welcoming his seed.
You obviously knew where you were staying for the next 3 to 5 days.
⋆˚🐾˖° CALEB
You follow the nurse down the hall of the Linkon Medical Center, your tail tucked so tight to your body you're nearly stepping on it.
You need the money the Lab is offering for this test mate program. The bills are piling up at home and college tuition is killing you. But just being in the building is enough to make your stomach twist painfully. The place smells sterile and medical and cold, nothing like the fresh air and wide open countryside you grew up in.
Sheltie Hybrids, or any Hybrid that was meant to be out in farm land, hated cooped up places like this. At least you knew your potential Mate was canine. And a high ranking officer at that.
Your Sire would be proud.
That thought alone makes your ears perk up just slightly. A high-ranking canine, maybe even one from a good bloodline, the kind your sire would brag about at the weekly livestock auctions.
The nurse pauses outside a heavy steel door, inputting a code with brisk efficiency before turning to you with an expression that’s not unkind but far from reassuring.
“Subject X-9 is waiting inside," she says, voice clinical as she gestures for you to enter. “He’s been prepped and briefed on the procedure."
Procedure. Like this is some experiment instead of what it really is, a desperate gamble for survival disguised as "mating compatibility testing."
The moment the doors slide open, you’re met with the sharp, commanding presence of Caleb.
He’s not just a colonel in uniform. He’s all predator.
Belgian Shepherd Hybrid genetics have sharpened his already lethal frame into something even more dangerous, tall, broad-shouldered, and built like a warhound bred for combat. His fur is a deep sable-black along his arms and back, fading into rich amber at his chest where it blends seamlessly with skin.
Twin ears prick forward atop his head as he turns to face you fully and those purple eyes are no longer just piercing, they glow faintly in the dim light like wildfire behind glass.
He circles closer, sniffing once at your scent before rumbling. “Sheltie." He stares it like it’s not common knowledge to you. "Small. Nervous."
You try to harden your voice and clench your fist. “I-I ain’t afraid of you…” that cute southern twang makes Caleb bark out a laugh.
“That accent’s gonna get you in trouble here, little sheepdog," he chided, smirking when your ears flick back at the nickname. “Sounds too sweet for a place like this."
His thumb brushes over the line of your jaw.
“But keep lying about not being scared and I might just believe you.”
The moment his weight pins you down, your bravado crumbles.
Caleb looms over you, all thick muscle and dark fur, those glowing purple eyes locked onto yours as he growls, “Gonna take it all, Sheltie. Every inch."
You whimper, squirming under him as the blunt head of his cock pushes against your entrance. Too big, too much. Your tail flattens beneath you in submission.
"T-Tight—!" Your voice cracks when he notches himself deeper with a single ruthless roll of his hips. “C-Caleb—please—!"
Caleb IS a gentleman under all that military precision and ego.
"Shhh, easy..." He nuzzles against the side of your neck. "Breathe with me." He exaggerates his own breaths, chest rising and falling slowly until you begin to match him without thinking.
His free hand slips between your bodies, fingers circling where you’re stretched tight around him, flicking your clit, coaxing with deliberate strokes until the tension bleeds from your thighs bit by bit.
The moment his instincts fully take over, everything changes.
One second, Caleb is murmuring praise into your ear. And the next his claws dig into your hips. His teeth graze the back of your neck in warning when you squirm too much.
"F-Fuck—!" His voice breaks mid-thrust when his knot starts to swell at the base of his cock, stretching you even wider on the next push inside. For all his dominance just seconds ago, now he’s pleading. "N-Not yet—! Gotta… gotta knot ya properly first…!"
But biology doesn’t care about pride or rank or control, his hips jerk forward involuntarily as that thick bulge catches against your rim again and again until finally.
It pops inside.
And just like that? The proud Belgian Shepherd Hybrid collapses over your back with a shuddering groan, knot locked deep as hot cum floods into every last inch of your heat.
⋆˚🐾˖° SYLUS
Deepspace Labs - Breeding Wing, Sector 7
A heavy, metal collar rests against your throat. Sleek black and etched with glowing runes meant to suppress, not protect. Your claws twitch at your sides; the scent of antiseptic burns your nose.
They call this place sanctuary. A last-ditch effort to save a dying species through controlled reproduction.
“Subject D-7." The lead researcher’s voice crackles over the intercom as steel doors hiss open before you. “Proceed to Chamber Alpha for mate introduction."
Your tail lashes, a reflex of agitation, before you step forward into dim lighting that does little to hide the silhouette waiting across from you on raised platform.
He's massive, wider than any hybrid they’ve shown before, with horns curled back in sharp crescents and wings folded tight against his spine
His voice rumbles through chamber walls straight into your bones. “So, you’re my little salvation?"
The hybrid before you is Sylus, a name whispered in scientific reports like a myth, now flesh and scale in front of you.
It’s his eyes that scorch the most: crimson-bright and slit-pupiled, locked onto you with unnerving focus. The horns arching back from his forehead are obsidian-sharp; one wrong move and they could gut a man clean through.
“You smell nervous." His tongue clicks against roof of his mouth. "Don't be. I don't bite...unless you ask nicely.”
The scientists move quickly to prepare you both for breeding.
“Standard precautions," the lead researcher mutters as they fasten reinforced cuffs around Sylus' wrist. They strap a muzzle over his jaws just in case.
A collar hums to life around his throat, pulsing with containment runes meant to suppress fire-breath just like yours.
For you, they clip blunt caps over your claws and inject a muscle relaxant "to prevent aggressive reflexes."
Your eyes catch the gleaming lights of the cameras around you. Watching and studying.
The restraints shatter the second they lock the chamber doors. Black scales ripple over straining muscle as Sylus rises from the platform.
The muzzle dangles uselessly from one claw before being flicked aside like an afterthought; containment runes on his collar fizzle out beneath a fresh wave of smoke curling past his lips.
"Poor thing," he purrs. "All restrained for me, as if I’d ever let them keep you like this." A claw traces along the caps on your claws before he picks off each one.
His wings flare wide, blocking the cameras viewing ports.
The moment his cock presses against your entrance, you feel the burn. Scalding heat and ridges that shouldn’t exist. It’s thick, intentionally stretching you with every inch he feeds into your body. The tapered tip flaring slightly at the base in a way that makes your walls spasm instinctively around him.
Sylus hisses through his fangs, smoke puffing from his nostrils as he bottoms out finally "Tight," he rasps, "Perfect little mate."
His cock pulses inside you like it has its own heartbeat. The drag of textured scales along oversensitive nerves makes your thighs shake—
"—Again." He snaps his hips forward without mercy, burying himself to the hilt with a groan that rumbles. “Scream louder. Let them hear what they tried to cage."
From the first snap of his hips, your body betrays you, reacting on some primal, draconic level that no amount of lab-engineered suppressants could stifle. Your claws shred through the restraints like paper, talons scrabbling against the steel table.
The scientists panic, shouting muffled orders behind soundproof glass as the monitors blare alarms.
“She's supposed to be docile! The serum was—"
But they were fools. They'd assumed female dragons were safer, softer, more manageable.
Yet here you are: wings ripping free from their straps in a violent snap of membrane and scale, pupils thinning to predatory slits as you arch into Sylus’ thrusts with a snarl that rattles the observation glass.
Your tail lashes wildly before coiling around his thigh in an instinctive claim. The feverish need to clench, to take, to lock him deep until he spills everything into your womb overrides every lab-bred inhibition they tried stitching into your DNA.
The scientists thought wrong. You were never tamed. Now they realize too late what monsters they’ve really caged together.
You pretended not to hear him, dragging the vibrator back up towards his tip. You stared up at him, eyes wide with mock innocence as you held it right against the underside of his head. “You’ve been a bad boy, Sylus. Bad boys have to learn their lesson.” Sweat beads at his temple, sliding down his flushed face, collecting along his jaw before dripping to his heaving chest. “Kitten…”
He was cumming again, biceps bulging against the ropes you had used to tie him to his chair. The same ones he frequently used with you. “Hmgh-Fuck!” Sylus’ jaw clenched tight, head tossed back as cum splashed your face. You didn’t stop the vibrator, didn’t so much as pull it away from where it was pressed to him.
“Don’t pass out on me now, Sy. We’re not done yet.” He had lost count of how many times you made him cum, and could barely remember how he got here in the first place. But fuck did he love being at your mercy, sweet and submissive while you bullied his cock until he was drooling. “Y-yes ma’am.” Raw and ragged.
You grin up at him, licking your cum splattered lips but not touching whatever landed out of your tongue’s reach. “You’re starting to remember how to be a good boy, Sylus. I’m proud.” But you could see his eyes going glassy, lips parted and chest heaving as the overstimulation melted back into mind-numbing pleasure.
“But…” You turn up the intensity, watching his entire body stiffen as an unapologetically loud moan rips out of his throat. “...I am still displeased with the little stunt you pulled today.” He nearly got himself killed, then had the audacity to try and play it off. You had been livid – still were. “K-kitten I said… said I was sorry…!”
“That’s what you’ve said every time, Sy. I’m not stopping until your balls are drained.” You turned it up to its highest setting, not surprised when he unexpectedly came again. Each load was lessening in volume, he’d be shooting blanks soon. That was fine. That would be the only time you’d consider easing up… by offering your cunt.
“P-please… I need your pussy.” he choked, looking down at you with tears in his eyes, slowly leaking and mixing with the sweat on his skin. Your fist, the vibrator, his thighs were all covered in the last load. Poor baby, he really was running on empty. “And you’ll get it as soon as I feel you deserve it, baby.”
You dragged the vibrator directly over his slit, watching the stuttering gasp shake his chest. “But right now, you’ve still been a bad boy. So you’ll have to wait until I’m feeling a little more generous.”
Here are some titty thoughts I have about Sylus as someone who has 42DDD boobs ଘ(´•3•)⊃━☆
🍒Sylus struggles to not stare. Low cut top with your cleavage showing? He’s sneaking glances. You start to laugh? He noticed the way they shake. You go without a bra? He is fighting demons.
🍒When spooning and you’re the little spoon, it takes every ounce of his willpower to not slip his hand under your shirt and cup your warm breast. It’s not until you drag his hand and put it there yourself that he quietly asks you if it’s okay. When he gets your permission? He’s mindless kneading your boob in his hand, dozing off instantly.
🍒Loves to suck little bruises on them. There is so much space to cover and you’re so soft. He loves squeezing one of your breasts and sucking on the fat of it, crimson eyes locked on your face as he adds yet another bruise to the constellation he was creating.
🍒Will motorboat your boobs when given the chance, face fully snuggled between the two of them before going a bit insane.
🍒Has sucked on your breasts in the backseat of his car, all while you tug at his aching cock. He blames the wanderer, you blame his inability to think straight when the wanderer sliced your shirt.
🍒Loves to hold them whenever you say your back is aching. One hand for each breast, a smile plastered to his lips as they squish and mold around his warm greedy hands.
🍒Will come home from a long, aggravating business deal and flop on top of you in bed. He’s yanking the hem of your — his — shirt up and slipping himself underneath. You can’t help but laugh as he buries his face between the valley of your breasts and mumbled something about rolling onto your side so they squish him.
🍒Combusts the second you lay on top of him, bare naked with your chest pressed into his. The way your boobs squish against him quite literally makes his quick-thinking mind short circuit.
🍒You once cheekily flashed him a titty while he was mid-business deal and his jaw dropped. To the point the other men in the room whirled around to see what could have shocked the infamous gang leader but his evol was quicker. Slamming the office door before they could catch a glimpse… honestly you almost them killed.
🍒Might act nonchalant about it, but if you offer him a tit-job? That man’s heart rate is jumping to the 200s, he is doing cartwheels in his mind. The “yes please, kitten.” That he responds with is somehow steady but in his mind he is high-pitched giggling.
🍒Titties sore because of your cycle? Don’t worry, suddenly Sylus is an expert masseuse. Aroma therapy oils, hot towels, heating pads, a bath run with muscle relaxing bath salts? Anything to make you feel better, and anything to get his hands on those pretty tits. 
Don’t get me started on how ass/thigh/tummy obsessed he is…
Synopsis: Being the last Siren Hunter, in the hands of your ‘prey’, is unnatural. But you must do what you have to so you can return to dry land.
Warning: Smut, two-cawks, Monster fudging (think of RAF as the size of the Lemurian Skeleton in the main story), talk of slaying mer-children, tummy bulge, oviposition, egg-laying, Reader is scared they won’t fit, size difference, breeding, Rafayel being smug about filling you up.
A/N: I feel like we don’t get to see just how a massive Lemurian’s are beside the skeleton. In RAF’s myth he’s obviously a bit bigger than us but I want our hugeeee merman:(
The pre-dawn air is thick with salt and the promise of a coming storm as you step onto the docks, your boots heavy against the worn wood. The sunrise has yet to even peak in the sky, casting only an eerie blue across the docks.
The ‘Saint's Wrath’ creaks in its berth, its dark hull already laden with harpoons and nets, your father’s silhouette moving methodically across the deck. Your family was the last of its kind, ones that actually had the bullocks to fight back against the monsters of the deep.
"You're late," your brother calls from the rigging, his voice sharp beneath the tolling church bells, a reminder that God watches even here, where blood runs more freely than prayer.
You don’t answer. Instead, you tighten the strap of your blade sheath and glance at the horizon where black water meets bruised sky. “They're getting bolder," you mutter as salt spray stings your cheeks. "More wrecks last night."
Your father pauses mid-motion before tossing another net onto his shoulder with a grunt, his silence louder than any agreement he could give.
This hunt won’t be like killing fish.
These ‘fish’ fight back.
Your boots scrape the wooden flanks of the ship. This would be your chance to prove yourself. To prove you could hold your own like your brother, despite being the youngest. When your mother was alive she would try to convince you that perhaps the Sirens weren’t all bad. Men were more evil, she would say.
When she died, you were forced to stay home. Cook and clean for your brother and father when they returned from Hunting. Most of the time their catches were smaller creatures. Barely older than you. When you would watch them hang limply from nets, your stomach would drop.
Your brother glances down from his perch in the rigging, his gaze raking over your smaller form with skepticism.
"You sure you're up to this?" he calls, his tone a gruff warning. “I seen the size of the last one we chased down. Damned near sank the Saint's Wrath.”
Your jaw tightens at the thinly disguised doubt, but you know better than to let it show. "I can handle myself," you mutter, fingers brushing over the hilt of your blade.
He snorts, unconvinced but he doesn't argue further as he tosses a coiled hawser to the deck below. “Then get your ass up here already. We're heading out."
The deck of the ship shifts under your feet as the crew makes final preparations for your hunt, securing lines and stowing equipment with practiced efficiency. The bells from the nearby town still ring out in peals, marking the hour with a chorus of holy purpose, contrast to the grim work that awaits you beyond the harbor.
The storm you rush into that night is brutal. The rain pelts strong against the sail, and the vessel jolts violently.
The wind howls like a wounded beast, whipping the rain sideways into stinging lashes against your skin.
The Saint's Wrath groans beneath you, wood creaking under the assault of waves that rise like black mountains before crashing down in torrents of salt and fury.
"Reef the sails!" Your father’s voice cuts through the chaos, raw from shouting over the storm. “NOW!"
Your brother lunges for the lines, muscles straining as he battles to rein in canvas gone wild with wind, but even his strength isn't enough alone. You don’t hesitate; you throw yourself forward, grabbing hold beside him as your boots skid across slick decking. For a heart-stopping moment, it feels like the ship itself might capsize… but then—
Not thunder. Not waves breaking against the hull... but something else entirely, a voice threaded beneath storm and sea that doesn’t belong to either. It slithers into your ears like silk and poison all at once, beautiful enough to freeze blood mid-pulse inside your veins that are already thrumming with adrenaline.
Nothing human could make a noise like that... unless it wanted you dead first.
Your father pales under lantern light when he hears it too.
He knows what comes next.
Hunters become prey.
The song makes your ears ring. Your hand drop the rope and immediately try to cover your ears. Your brother comes behind you, desperately clasping his hands over your own to keep out the Siren’s sound.
He was sacrificing himself for you.
The song is a Siren's Call in every sense of the word, seductive in the same way a snake is: beautiful… but deadly to touch. It fills the storm-tossed air like a seductive melody, wrapping around your senses and trying to drag you under.
"Don't listen," your brother growls above the song. "Don't you dare listen. You stay with me, understand?"
But then the ship slams to the side of a massive rock, tearing the side from the vessel. Your brother and father are thrown backwards, breaking through the railing and peeling overboard.
Your hands drop from your ears, and you wail, cutting through the Siren’s Song.
The impact throws you to the deck, wood splintering beneath you as cold seawater explodes across the planks. The Saint’s Wrath shudders like a dying animal, groaning under its own weight before lurching violently to one side.
"NO—!"
Your scream is raw, more instinct than sound as your hands scramble for purchase on the slick wood… but it’s too late. Your father and brother are already gone, swallowed by black waves and a storm that doesn’t care about prayers or hunters or last words.
The hull splits in two, and you are forced into the sea. The water encloses you like a brutal fist.
Your limbs thrash through the water, fighting desperately for the surface even as the storm does its best to drown you. The ocean closes around your body in a brutal grip, cold saltwater filling your lungs and weighing you down like lead. The ship tilts plunging into the depths a few feet away and suddenly you know you’re alone.
Your boots kick out against nothing but darkness. There are no oars left to row, no sail to steer, just the cold press of the sea all around you.
You are lost. Vulnerable...prey.
~~~~
You truly expect to see the gates of heaven when you awake. But instead you hear damned seagulls, and your back is pressed to a stone like you were laid out to dry.
You feel hands-claws more like-peeling back your blouse. You hear a small gasp and the soaked fabric slaps back onto your breast.
“A woman…?”
Your eyes fly open, gasping as you bolt upright only to collapse back onto the stone with a groan, every muscle in your body screaming from the fight against the waves.
The voice... it's wrong. Not human. Too smooth, too melodic even in its shock.
Blinking saltwater from your lashes, you finally focus on the figure poking its head from the Sea beside you.
The Siren.
His hair is wild, purple strands tangled with seaweed and ocean foam like a cursed crown of the deep.
His skin glows faintly under sunlight as if he is carved from moonlight itself.
But those hands? Those claws curling hesitantly near your torn blouse? They belong to something that drowns men for sport.
And yet when he speaks again?
There’s no song laced beneath his words, just something glistening in his eyes with childlike curiosity.
“A woman hunter?" His head tilts, gaze raking over you. “How…interesting.l
His tail, massive and light reflective, flicks in the ocean water. Your lungs burn, your eyes sting with saltwater. You try to push yourself up, to create distance between you and the monster.
Who was rather beautiful.
But wait…weren’t Sirens female?
If it's even possible, he grins wider at your reaction, a hint of pointed fangs showing beneath the curve of his lips. His head is tilting the other way as he watches you scramble back as far as the stone allows.
"Don’t be frightened," he murmurs, voice like the soft lull of the sea itself. His body is lean and lithe, all corded muscle beneath pale skin. He moves in closer, and you can sense the raw power coiled beneath that massive frame.
"You'll only exhaust yourself for nothing."
He closes the distance like a flash of silver beneath water, one hand catching your wrist and pinning it back to the cold stone with a grip that makes your bones ache.
Those claws gleam dangerously close to your throat as he leans over you, his face mere inches from yours.
"Though... I must admit," he hums, "I've never come across a woman hunter before. Especially not one so very...pretty.”
You kick weakly at the massive, broad creature before you. “D-do not touch me!”
The stone bruises into your back as he leans forward, a sharp-toothed smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth.
"Is that any way to talk to your savior, pretty girl?"He’s leaning over you like a shadow. His fangs glimmer, glinting completely clean. No trace of blood to be found.
The fin at the end of his tail flaps into the water. He’s heavy, massively so. Nearly 3 times the size of a normal man.
“Y-you killed my family…” your voice cracks as you gaze up at the beast.
"Killed... your family?" His brow furrows as he studies you with those dual toned eyes.
"I did no such thing," he growls, jaw clenching. “I found you drowning in the storm. I was...saving you."
You thrash, anger overriding your senses. “Your song! You made our vessel crash! It-it’s all your FAULT!” Your scream startles the seagulls, feathers and squawks follow your outburst.
His eyes flare at your words, sharper like a wave slamming into a rock. “Watch your tone, little hunter," he snaps, the words a growl against your cheek.
“I am not to blame for your carelessness. You were in the ocean during a storm. What did you expect would happen, hmm?"
“I heard your song…” your voice is weak, the droplets of water from his body mingle with your tears.
“You humans. So quick to blame us for your own misfortune." The waves around you lap at the rock you are splayed against. “Not every wreck is our doing."
He’s so close now you can nearly taste him, salt and sea and something dangerously wild.
“But since you insist I’m a monster…" A slow smirk curls over his fangs. He releases one wrist just to drag a claw down the side of your throat. "...Maybe I should act like one."
Your hand comes down in a fist across his jaw. But the action barely moves him. He doesn’t flinch. But the bones in your knuckles shatter, and you bow like a taunt string. “F-fuck!”
The Siren barely reacts to your pathetic strike, his face barely turns with the impact. But you feel it, the way your hand collapses against his jaw, bones grinding beneath skin.
Pain lances up your arm so sharply that for a second, you can’t even scream.
He watches you writhe, that cruel smirk never leaving his lips.
"Ohhh...now that was stupid, little hunter." He tuts. "But don't worry. I like my prey with a bit of fight left in them."
Your clutch your broken hand to your chest. Your lungs burn with water and agony. You curl in on yourself, squeezing your eyes shut. You wish you were back with your brother and father. In the comfort of your sea-side home. “Just kill me…” you whisper.
He stares down at your curled form, the way your body tenses against the pain. There's no mercy in his expression, but he sounds irritated. "Don't be so overdramatic."
He shifts above you, his hands coming to rest on the stone on either side of your head, effectively caging you in. "Just because you're injured doesn't mean I need to cut your life short. I'm not a monster, no matter what you hunters like to believe."
His bare chest ripples, the colorful tattoos color his flesh. You lay limp like you’ve already accepted death. “What do you want from me? Why did you save me…?”
He hums again as his eyes trace over your face. This time, the sound feels thoughtful.
"I suppose... I want many things." His gaze searches your face as if trying to find those words buried in your expression.
"But for now, I suppose I just... want you to look at me. Really look at me. And understand… that the ocean doesn't belong to you. It isn't your sanctuary. It's mine. Ours.”
His lips pull back to expose those sharp canines. He drags you lower on the rock so his body can dip back into the sea. You don’t even yelp, just lay like a fish out of water. “Do you know how many of our children you have slain?”
Your head weakly lifts. “They lured our men to watery graves.”
The monster scoffs and shakes his head in disbelief. “Those guppies were barely old enough to find their voice. Every single one you have successfully slaughtered, were mere-children.”
Your eyes widen at his words. It perfectly explained why all of the Siren’s before were so small, your size or bigger.
Your eyes flicked to the beast. His long violet strands tickle your arms and cheeks. He’s…beautiful. In a way you can’t quite describe.
Your hand aches, now turning an ugly shade of purple and red that nearly match his aesthetic.
You scoot to a sitting position as he gives you space. Your legs ache, head throbs, and now your fist is shattered.
You were alone, on a rock, hundreds of miles perhaps from civilization.
“Now. Tell me what you want from me…” You whisper.
The waves crash behind him, spraying foam against the stone where you sit like some storm-tossed offering left for the sea to claim.
"You still think this is about wanting something from you?" His eyes drift over your broken hand, then back up to your face “You are in my waters now, little hunter." His hair pools around him like tendrils. “And I don’t drown pretty things for sport, even when they deserve it."
But the way his claws flex against the rock betrays him.
There’s hunger there.
And not just for flesh.
His clawed hands reach for your wrist and you flinch away like he might gnaw off your hand as a snack. He simply scoffs.
You hold your breath as his touch ghosts over your shattered knuckles, so gentle it’s almost maddening. His fingers are cold, like the deep sea he crawled from.
"Hm." His eyes flicker over your injury. “Your people would have splinted this wrong. Made it worse.
Without warning, his other hand grips your forearm to steady you as his claws press along the fractured bones.
A sharp crack echoes between you two as bone slides back into place under his guidance.
The pain is instant, blinding, but over just as quickly. Then he pulls away like he hasn’t just realigned your hand and made your entire body reset.
The best examines his claw nails like you aren’t in extreme agony.
“Don't thank me all at once."
But when he sees the fresh tears leaking from your eyes, he can’t stop the way his heart convulses.
“Can you…can you take me back to shore?” You know it’s a big favor for someone you blamed for the death of your family, but you were desperate.
His tail flicks impatiently against the water, sending ripples through the tidepool.
"You would trust me not to drown you halfway?" The question is a taunt, but beneath it is a challenge. “After all this time hunting my kind?"
He throws himself closer in one fluid motion, claws closing around your waist before dragging you flush against his chest. His skin is shockingly warm for something born from the depths.
"...Hold on," His tail coils beneath him in preparation to dive. "...And don't scream. Your weak lungs will fill with water.”
He dives back into the waters, and you try to hold your breath as long as you can. You truly expect the Siren to drown you, but the beast shoves what seems like an air bubble between your lips.
The moment your lungs burn something cool presses against your lips. His mouth? No.
A bubble, shimmering and strange, like liquid glass, passes between his lips and yours with a sensation that isn’t quite a kiss…but isn’t not one either.
Your first instinct is to choke, to cough it out. But then you breathe. And instead of saltwater flooding your throat, it’s air, fresh and sweet as if stolen from the surface itself.
His smirk is smug against your temple when he feels you go slack with shock in his arms, those clawed hands tightening around your waist as he swims deeper into the blue.
“Told you not to scream," his voice rumbles through the water directly into your skull like some underwater sorcery. “But it will not last long.”
In the distance, you can make out the outline of a cave mouth, a shadowy chasm lurking within the depths.
He guides you toward it, tail propelling you ever forward with a single focused power that makes your head spin.
As the cave swallows it, he pulls you closer to his chest.
"Relax," he hums. “I won't let you drown."
For some reason, those words make you shiver.
His head pops out in the underwater cave, just for real oxygen to hit your lungs. You give a slight gasp at the ornate decorations laid out. A bed of the finest taste, something you’d never seen in your life.
What use would a Siren have for a human bed? Your eyes travel to the other grand decor.
The cave gleams, soft bioluminescent algae clinging to the walls like living candlelight, casting an eerie glow over treasures piled high: gold coins spilling from cracked chests, jewelry draped over coral formations, even a few rusted swords that must have been plucked from sunken warships.
But the bed? That’s what holds your attention. It's lavish, covered in silks that shimmer with colors you didn’t even know existed beneath the waves.
The Siren doesn’t comment as he pulls himself up onto a flat rock ledge beside it, dragging you with him before depositing you onto its surface like some prized catch he can't decide whether to eat or admire.
His tail coils beneath him as he watches your face carefully for...something.
"You look surprised," he muses finally—claws tapping idly against his tail "What? Thought we slept in seaweed nests like animals?"
But the way his gaze lingers on your injured hand betrays just how much of this act is for show.
He’s waiting for your reaction.
And gods help him. Part of him actually cares what you will think.
The smirk curling his lips is downright smug as he watches you wobble like a newborn fawn, his tail flicking lazily against the stone.
“Oh? Did the mighty hunter finally realize she’s helpless for once?" He enjoys seeing you off-balance only because it means you can’t run.
Then his gaze drops to your ruined clothes, salt-stained and clinging to your skin in tatters. Those clawed fingers are suddenly snapping near your face, making you flinch back instinctively as a bolt of woven kelp and shimmering fabric materializes from seemingly nowhere into his waiting palm.
“Here," he grumbles, shoving it toward your chest with an impatient scowl that doesn't match how carefully he avoids grazing your injured hand. “Unless you'd rather keep wearing rags like a shipwrecked urchin."
Monsters shouldn't be this pretty. Or this generous.
You look at the monster and clutch it to your chest. “Can you…turn around?”
His lips purse, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face, but he complies abruptly, turning his broad back toward you with an irritated huff.
“Hmph." He pouts, folding his arms across his broad chest as if expecting you to attack him. “There."
He can hear your every breath. He can even hear the way your heart is racing.
Your clothes fall to the cave floor in a sodden heap as you slip into the dress. The fabric is cool to the touch, but comfortable, silkier than anything you've ever worn before, and somehow fitting perfectly around your curves as if tailored to your every inch.
But as your fingers come to the laces that need tying at the back, a sound makes you freeze in your tracks.
"Need help?" He is so close you can feel the words brush against your ear.
You jump, whipping around to find him directly behind you. If he's amused by your reaction, he does a good job of hiding it. He’s sitting on the rocks edge, massive body towering over you even with only his torso.
“Turn around," he instructs. “Hands up. I'll do the laces."
He finishes tying the lace and you turn towards him, hands coverings your chest like you feel far too exposed. “Thank you…”
His gaze flickers downward, just for a moment, taking in the way your hands clutch at the silken dress. You swear you feel his breath catch.
But then he's looking at you again with that infuriating smirk, head tilting slightly.
"Are you…nervous?"
It's a stupid question, and you both know it.
“You look like some blushing virgin bride."
Your face lights up and you scowl. “You-you can at least tell me your name before insulting me….” Your wounded hand hangs loosely by your side.
The monster grins. “Rafayel….”
Your cheeks heat, but you try not as best you can to ignore it, focusing on the name he's given instead.
"Rafayel," you repeat slowly, letting the unfamiliar syllables dance on your tongue. It sounds almost musical, like the sound of waves crashing on sand.
Thus begins the story of you and the Siren. Your hand starts to heal, and you make Rafayel promise to search the seas for any remains of your brother and father.
Anything at all.
Weeks pass. The cave becomes your reluctant home, its walls shimmering with stolen light as the tides shift outside.
Rafayel is gone for long stretches. Vanishing into the deep with only a mocking “Don't drown while I'm gone,” tossed over his shoulder before he disappears beneath the waves.
You learn quickly that he hates goodbyes.
But when he returns, it's never empty-handed.
Sometimes it’s food, exotic fruits from distant shores or fish so fresh they still glisten with saltwater.
Other times...it’s treasures dredged from shipwrecks: a rusted locket, a waterlogged journal, even a single boot that makes your breath catch before you realize…it isn’t theirs.
Rafayel watches you quietly each time, those multi-colored eyes tracking every flicker of hope in your expression before snuffing it out like a candle in the wind. "Not today," he murmurs whenever you look up at him expectantly and somehow, that softness in his voice is worse than any taunt could be.
He doesn’t apologize.
Because monsters don’t apologize for things they can't change.
One evening, just as the bioluminescent algae begins to glow along the cave walls, he drags himself onto your shared ledge with an uncharacteristic quietness pooling around him like ink in the water.
"...Found something."
His voice lacks its usual sharpness when he drops what looks like half of a shattered spyglass into your lap. It’s still crusted with barnacles but unmistakably theirs. Your fingers tremble as they trace over its broken edges because gods above…it was real.
Rafayel had actually been looking this whole time without once throwing it back in your face as leverage.
For once, there are no taunts on his tongue.
No smirks hiding behind claws too sharp to be gentle.
Just silence stretched between you two like an unspoken truce finally taking root beneath stormy seas.
That terrifies him more than drowning ever could have terrified you.
You can’t fight the sob that tears through your chest as you clutch your father’s spyglass. Everyone you loved, the last of your blood, was gone.
Rafayel flinches at the sound, like the sob itself had physically struck him. For a moment, he just stares at you.
In one abrupt motion he drags you against his chest with a growl.
His claws dig into the fabric of your dress, but not enough to tear. Not enough to hurt. Just…holding. Like if he lets go now, you might shatter.
“Quiet," he mutters into your hair, that was now kept braided by the beast. He insisted it would help the strands not become tangle with sea-salt. "Your crying is making my tail itch."
He doesn’t let go.
By morning the spyglass is gone from where it had been clenched in your fist all night, only for pieces of it to reappear days later on a thin chain. He gifts it to you one evening after dinner.
The chain is cool against your fingers, delicate but strong, woven from a material that is iridescent, that shimmers like moonlight on water. You recognize it as the same material that lines his tail, and the realization makes your breath hitch.
Rafayel doesn’t meet your eyes when he fastens it around your neck, claws brushing against the back of your skin with a gentleness that shouldn’t belong to someone born of teeth and saltwater. “There," he has you spin around to face him. "Now you won't lose it again."
He doesn’t say what you both know, that this is as close to an apology as monsters get.
As the night of the full-moon approaches, Rafayel grows more irritable when he returns from hunts. But the gifts he gives you become more extravagant.
You notice it first in the way his tail lashes against the cave floor like a caged storm. Restless , agitated.
His hunts grow longer, his returns more abrupt. Some nights he doesn’t come back at all, leaving only strange offerings in his wake.
A dagger carved from black coral, its hilt studded with pearls that glimmer like trapped stars.
A cloak woven from kelp so fine it feels like liquid against your skin when you drape it over your shoulders.
Even a circlet of twisted silver, too delicate for a monster who once sneered at human vanity, left on your bed of silks while you slept.
But then... he starts bringing live things.
A seahorse no bigger than your thumb, its bioluminescent scales pulsing gently as it curls into your palm before darting away into the dark water beyond the cave entrance
You name it Finn.
An octopus that shyly offers you polished shells every morning.
You name him Ink.
And once…once-even an injured merchild no older than ten summers who Rafayel carries in with a snarl about "Stupid guppies getting caught in fishing nets.”
You help him remove tangled rope from her tail before she slips back into open waters with wide-eyed gratitude.
You don’t get to name her.
But seeing you with a young mer-child makes something in him shift. The way your touch was gentle, how you promised her everything would be okay.
You realize how right Rafayel had been. She was just slightly younger-looking than the Merfolk your grandfather used to drag to shore. Your gut clenched at what those creatures last thoughts might have been.
The full-moon comes, and the morning of, Rafayel disappears into the depths. You are left alone all day. You find yourself drifting off to sleep alone.
Only to be awoken by the sound of splashing.
You jerk awake, heart hammering against your ribs, just as water sloshes violently over the ledge of your bed. Moonlight spills into the cave, painting everything in an eerie silver glow
And there he is.
Rafayel hauls himself onto the stone with a ragged gasp, his tail flicking water everywhere as he struggles for balance. His breathing is uneven and labored his skin flushed darker than you’ve ever seen it.
His pupils are blown wide, leaving only thin rings of fuchsia around them as his claws dig into the rock beneath him.
A shimmering trail of iridescent liquid drips from between the scales of his tail where they meet his hips.
Mating musk.
You swallow the terror in your throat. The Siren looks like he’s in agony. “Rafayel…? Are you alright?”
He flinches at the sound of your voice. His jaw clenches as he fights to look at you, claws gouging deep grooves in stone as he strains to control himself. “Don't…" his head lulls back, strands of his hair cascading over his muscles shoulders. "Please...don't get too close."
You've never seen him look so wild before. Like a feral animal struggling against his own instincts. His gaze is unfocused, and haunted, his muscles coiled so tightly it looks like it hurts.
You are crawling from the bed. Crawling to where rock of the cave met water. “You are sweating. And shaking…”
He growls, a sound so deep and feral it vibrates through the stone beneath you. His claws dig harder into the rock, his entire body trembling with restraint as he watches your every movement.
“I said," his voice is slipping into that same melodic tune you heard the night of the shipwreck, “Do. not. Come closer."
But you can see it, the way his pupils swallow any color in his eyes when your knees hit the damp stone. The way sweat rolls down his neck, making silver trails over that tattooed skin as he shakes.
This close, you can smell it too.
Salt and something muskier, something primal that makes the heat pool low in your belly.
You shouldn’t want this.
Your shaky fingers reach out to touch his cheek, and he snaps.
He seizes your hand before you can reach him, claws clamping around your wrist like a vice as he yanks you forward with a growl.
"Did I not say-?!”
His body smacks against yours, muscles coiled under his sweat-slick skin, as he brings your captured hand to his face with a snarl. His fangs are elongated. His nostrils flare as he turns his head to press his nose into your pulse. "...To not get close…?”
That’s when you see it. The way a line parts on his tail. Where not one, but two long, smooth lengths are struggling to peek through the opening. “What is-?”
His whole body goes rigid when the words leave your mouth. He can feel the way the protective layers over his organs part further. He cannot fight instincts this time.
"T-That…" he grits out, "...doesn't concern… you.”
You don’t move your eyes away. Your father always said taking your eyes off a predator for even a second could mean a death sentence. Your other hand dips to rub across that slit, and the simple action has the length’s springing to full length.
Exposed. And the you realize what they are.
He groans, a low, rumbling sound that makes your heart skipple at the same time your fingers brush the sensitive lengths. He shudders at the touch, body thrumming. "Little wench… please…don’t."
What are you doing?
Don't you know?
Don't you know he's trying not to claim you?
"It is a mating cycle," he growls "That's all… it'll pass."
He's lying, and you know it.
But you do not remove your hand and he doesn’t force you to. Your hand dips further into the water, soft fingertips gliding from the slit up each tendril. His head falls against your shoulder. Pleased and strained noises push past his quivering lips.
“They are…big..” your voice is hoarse as you fumble to wrap your hand around the bottom length, the slick flesh jumping in your palm.
His entire body jerks at the contact. "I—fuck—!" His hips buck violently into your touch. The water flows over the edge of the stone, drenching your night gown. "You…you do not understand what you're doing to me. What games you are playing.”
He could take you right here, could pin you beneath him and make sure no part of you forgets this moment. It wouldn't even be hard, not when the scent of lust is thick in the water between you both. Each ragged breath from him makes his cock throb harder against your palm.
“I wanted to help. Please…I can’t bear to see you like this.” Your other hand strokes his cheek, the glistening in the corner of his eyes is just evidence of how hard he’s fighting back mating instincts.
But then he’s pinning you against the rock, pulling himself above you. The lengths flop against the nightgown across your tummy and-
You fully see the sheer size of his cocks
"Look at what you've done," he snarls as he grinds them against your stomach, leaving twin streaks of slick behind. “Now feel what you're playing with."
His hands clamp down on either side of your head, claws sinking into stone like anchors Every inch of him is hot, practically oozing.
And those lengths. They're everything.
Thick and heavy and flushed dark under the cave’s eerie glow, their tips already leaking in anticipation. His hips twitch involuntarily when you gasp at the sight, like even that tiny sound has him fighting not to rut against you mindlessly.
"Do you still want to help?" His voice is mocking now, mocking himself more than you because who was he kidding? He lost this fight the second your fingers brushed his slit. No, no. The second he saved you.
“Still think they will fit inside that pretty little human cunt?"
You were no virgin. You’d had your roll in the hay with a man or two. But this, this was completely different.
Your breath hitched. You know they would not fit. No way your insides wouldn’t be turned to mush. “I want to…to try. To help…”
Then your thighs part, and his sensitive nose twitches. Fuck. You were ovulating too.
His Gods must be playing a trick on him.
His nose flares. His teeth graze your neck. "You little… you're—"
Fertile.
So fertile he could imagine that scent blossoming with a womb full of-
No. No he could not subject you to that. He would not-
“I want it…” you confession makes him lose it. But he knows he must prepare you. Thoroughly. Your body was not meant to take something of his size. No doubt two of them. “Why are there two…?”
Rafayel laps at your throat. “Because I was made to breed.”
The words rumble out of him like a dark, forgotten truth. His clawed fingers dig into your thighs, spreading you wider for his inspection. Your soaked gown is torn. He had stopped creating or fetching you new underwear long ago.
You had no need for him. When you shyly asked about what would happen during THAT time of the moon, Rafayel simply laughed.
‘Do you think I am afraid of blood, Little Pearl. You will bleed naturally. Like you were born to do. You do not see my people shying away from our bodies natural woes.’
That was funny, coming from someone who now was fighting every call of nature.
One of the lengths jerks against your entrance, already leaking pearly fluid as if impatient. “One… for filling." His thumb brushes over your clit. The claw catches on the sensitive hood and you yelp. "And one… for fertilizing.”
He is dragging you further down the slant of the rocks. Your knees are bent to your breast. He studies your lower anatomy.
Noting its differences to Merfolk females.
His gaze is ravenous while it roams over you. He’s taking in every dip, every curve of human anatomy so different from the scaled females of his kind. He traces your folds with the back of a claw, hushing when you jolt at the contact. “Soft,” he murmurs, almost to himself. "No scales… no protective layering."
A low growl rumbles through him as his thumb circles your entrance, testing its tightness before dipping just barely inside. "Fragile," he chuckles, watching how your body struggles to take even that much without proper preparation.
He’s already cataloguing all the ways he’ll have to be careful with you. All the ways this will hurt if he doesn't take his time.
But there was at least some common denominators. A weeping little hole and pretty pearl on top.
His nose flares again, inhaling the scent of your arousal like it's the only sustenance he needs. “And this-“
He rubs the back of his thumb against it, slow and deliberate like he's savoring the feel of that sensitive bud. It’s more fleshly and exposed. Which is odd for a Siren. All those sensitive nerves exposed like this. “That's just like a merfolk."
The flesh pulses and your face changes to a deep blush. "Pretty... and already so needy." He presses two claws to your mouth.
"Open."
Not a request. A commandment. "Lick them. Cover them with your saliva." His claws press to your lower lip. "Make them nice and wet, unless you want them to stretch you dry. And trust me. You do not want that,” he hisses. “You'll be too sore to walk for a week."
Your cheeks burn, the image of those long fingers filling you making your head swim with need, but you do it anyway.
You open your mouth...and lick. You taste the salt-mucus of his rough skin, savoring the way those claws scratch against your tongue. You cover them with saliva like he wanted.
He watches you with wide, unblinking eyes, lips parted slightly like it's taking every bit of his self-control not to take those digits from your mouth and replace them with something else.
He withdraws them, letting the claws scratch your tastebuds on the way out. His hand reaches for yours...and guides it down low.
His lengths are still twitching against the heat of your stomach like a threat. The moment your hand wraps around them, his eyes rolling back in his skull.
His head bows back, as is your touch is already more than he can take. "Feel that?" The one length is far too big for you to even clasp your fingers around. "You...you have no idea how long I've been fighting not to touch you like this."
His wet claws shift down to your pussy, teasing your hole that clenches around air at first, before slowly sinking inside.
You choke as his claws breach you. The stretch is immediate, the burn so sharp your back arches off the rock. He doesn’t stop, just watches with predatory focus while his fingers work deeper into that tight heat.
“Look at you," he praises "Already trying to swallow me whole. Greedy thing."
His free hand pins your hip down, keeping you still while your body tries to squirm away from the overwhelming intrusion.
"Relax," his thumb is circling your clit in slow, taunting strokes while his fingers crook inside you just right. “Unless you would like me to stop?"
But neither of you believe that lie. Not when his cocks twitch against your stomach in open jealousy. Not when every shallow thrust of his fingers draws another broken sound from both of you.
You are gasping from the stretch of his digits alone. Two fingers, roughly three and a half of yours for one of his, fuck you open. “I can’t-I do not know if-“
He hisses through clenched fangs—the sound pained while he watches you struggle around just his fingers. “Shhh…" His thumb presses harder against your clit, rubbing tight circles to distract you from the stretch.You can take it…you will.”
He scissors his fingers inside you, stretching your walls further apart with every torturous movement. “Breathe," your muscles spasm around him.
A third finger teases at your entrance, his gaze locked onto yours when you clench down instead- "...or do not." And then shoves it in with one thrust that makes stars explode behind your eyelids.
The stretch is agonizing The way his claws graze that spongy spot inside you is maddening. You’re sobbing now, half from pleasure, half from the sheer size of him working you open. But it won't even compare to what comes next.
Rafayel looks absolutely ruined by it, lips parted around ragged breaths. His cocks leak against your thigh in helpless sympathy for how tight you are.
For how good this must feel if just his fingers have him trembling above you like an untamed beast.
Your walls coat his fingers, betraying your tears. You are sprawled on the rock like an offering. His lengths that rest on your stomach go far beyond your belly button while he works you open.
His claws brush against that delicious spot inside you. “Can you feel how much I want you?" His claws are spreading to make you moan. “Do you feel how deep I am already inside you? How you are swallowing my fingers like the sea itself?"
The third finger helps ease you apart. “How do expect to take even one of my cocks when you are this tight?”
You don’t know, but...he seems determined to find out.
His free hand presses down on your lower stomach now, trying to gauge just how deep he is, how much of him he can fit inside you. "Relax." His voice is gentle. “I will prepare you. I will make you ready.”
And he will.
He finds the length of his fingers by pressing down on your tummy while curling his claws upwards.
“Found you," he’s chuckling, lips pressed to the space where the flesh perks from his fingers. They press against that spongy spot inside you. The moment he rubs against it, your back arches off the rock, a sharp cry tearing from your throat.
His free hand keeps pressing down on your stomach. Marking where his claws are buried deep inside your heat while his thumb continues its relentless assault on your clit.
You can see the outline of them beneath your skin, stretching you obscenely wide as precum drips from both of his neglected lengths onto your thighs now. "Look at that," his tongue lathers over your tummy. "Already making space for me. Greedy little thing."
He's done being patient.
His other hand pushes open your thigh and he squeezes a fourth finger in.
Your scream is muffled by the sudden crash of waves outside the cave, your body convulsing around him like it can’t decide whether to fight or beg for more.
Rafayel watches with his full attention,jaw clenched so tight veins bulge in his neckz
His thumb never stops circling that swollen bud though, not even when tears streak down your cheeks or when your whimpers turn into full-on sobs.
Will you even be able to walk after tonight? Doubtful.
He’s murmuring praises against your slightly bulging tummy in a language you don’t recognize. No doubt the language of his people.
But he’s not speaking to you, he’s speaking to your womb.
His lips brush against your fevered skik, whispering guttural words in a tongue older than human civilization itself.
The language of Lemurians, of hunters and kings beneath the waves, spoken directly to your womb like a vow.
"Kesha'li vanya…" You will take me so deep...
A claw traces the strained curve of your stomach where his fingers press from inside.
“Thalara shi’nath…" You will clench around me like the tide.
His breath is hot against you, possessive. Worshipful.
And then—darkest of all—a growl that vibrates through your very bones.
“Vi'shara teth mara.” I will fill you until you remember nothing else.
The promise in those ancient syllables is absolute. He finally lifts his gaze back to yours.
He removes his fingers, and you almost sob at the sudden emptiness inside you, legs spreading even wider as if begging for more.
He watches you through listful, hooded eyes as he brings his fingers to his lips. You expect the taste of you on them, but he's licking something else.
"Taste it..." he rasps, reaching for your mouth with a single, glistening digit.
There's no way to describe the dark, satisfied noise he makes when your lips part on a moan and he presses that same finger, coated in your honey-slick, against your tongue. “You taste divine.” His tongue falls from his mouth like a dog begging for water. “Like something I’ve craved for eons.”
He’s dragging you to the waters edge until your hips dangle from the rock. The twin cocks are sliding across your tummy. He grabs the top one, running teasing strokes across your slit.
He's so much bigger than you.
Judging by the expression on his face, he knows it. He drags the head of his lower length through your honey, coating himself in your slick like it's sacred.
"Gods, you're...so small," he sizes you up. "So perfect. Are you scared yet?" His tone is dark, cruel even. "I'm going to break you."
And you have no doubt that he will. But even now, with your legs spread and your eyes wide, there's something else in your eyes that makes him stop mid-stroke.
Your expression is vulnerable—terrified...
He's not sure what to do with that.
"Are you afraid?"
Despite everything, the corners of your lips tremble into a smile.
"Of you?" Your voice is nearly a scoff despite the way you are shivering.
"Yes," he hisses, his tone thick with a challenge of his own. "I could break you. I could ruin you."
Rafayel is hovering over you like a shadow. "And you'd still smile at me like this."
You continue to smile with wobbly lips. “Then prove it.”
His pupils blow wide. “You dare to challenge me?"
The hand not pinning you down moves to the base of one cock, pressing the thick head against your fluttering entrance with deliberate, agonizing slowness. “Then take it."
A sharp thrust, just enough to stretch you obscenely around the tip.
You cry out, back arching from the stone. But Rafayel keeps you still.
"Easy…" he croons, his thumb rubbing gently against your clit as he's trying to soothe you, trying to remind you that this is gentle. Compared to what's to come.
"Relax, Little One. This will be easier if you just…Let. Go.” You feel him twitch against your entrance, his breaths ragged and harsh against your neck. "Take a deep breath," he whispers. "And then, when I tell you, I want you to exhale, and on the next breath, when I give you permission, I want you to breathe in deep and bare down.”
Rafayel kisses your forehead, lips cold and shaking. “I want you to push against me."
You choke back a sob but nod. “Y-yes…s’ hurts….”
"I know," he murmurs, the words barely being heard over your shaky breaths. His thumb never stops moving against your clit, slow and deliberate even as his cock inches deeper inside you. "But it will not for long."
Every shallow thrust burns so sweetly you swear it's carving him into your very bones.
"Breathe out… now push.”
His fingers tighten on your hip, his other hand pressing flat against your lower stomach so he can feel where he’s stretching you from the outside.
"Good," he coos when you obey, when your body instinctively fights to accommodate him even through the pain. “So good for me… just like that."
The praise is filthy, dripping with praise, but it works.
Your walls flutter around him, sucking him in deeper as if they can't help but try to take more of him despite the burn. “Fuck," he hisses, hips jerking forward without warning when that greedy little clench nearly undoes him right then and there. “You’re going to kill me."
He buries himself all the way in, watching your body sink onto his length.
You cry out. Feeling like your guts have been shoved to the side to make room. You can’t breathe, can’t move, can only sob in the cave.
He freezes, every muscle in his body locked tight as he lets you adjust, his breaths ragged against your sweat-slicked skin.
One clawed hand strokes up your trembling thigh. The iron grip he has on your hip is to keep you from squirming away.
"Breathe," he orders. "Just… breathe through it."
His hand slides up to press against where his cock bulges obscenely inside you, fingers splaying over the slight curve of your stomach like he can’t believe this is real.
Like he can’t believe he’s the one ruining you.
A low, broken sound escapes him when you finally suck in a shaky breath and clench around him instinctively. "Gods—!" His forehead drops against yours, fangs bared in a snarl that's equal parts pleasure and pain as he fights not to move. Not yet.
But patience was never a virtue of his kind.
And neither was mercy.
His hips roll experimentally, just once, just enough to make sure this won’t actually break you.
"Now you shall take the other one."
You wail and claw at his chest. “N-no please! You’ll-fuckin’ kill me !” You gargle when his cock feels like it might reach your throat .
Rafayel lifts your thighs to make even an inch of room in your cunt. “So dramatic, My Hunter. I thought you weren’t afraid?”
But oh you were so afraid when his second cock nudges next to the other. You wail, eyes clench closed. Rafayel laps at your cheek, bracing his forearms next to you. The stretch is unbearable. You can’t even fight back now.
Rafayel lifts a leg over one shoulder, chin to his chest as he watches how you take inch after inch. You are sure you must have lost consciousness a few times before he is seated as far as he can go.
You are so speared on his lengths like a trident, if he released your body you would still dangle helplessly.
Part of him wants to test it. Wants to watch you flail limply to soothe his pride.
He watches, mesmerized by the way your stomach distends with every shallow thrust. “Look at you…fucking ruined.”
He drags one claw down the curve of your belly, following where his cock moves inside. "Can you feel it?" he rasps against your lips before stealing another searing kiss. “How deep I am? How full I’ve made you?"
Your answering sob is muffled by his mouth, your nails scrambling for purchase against his back only to find hard muscle and scarred skin instead.
He finally pulls out just enough to snap his hips back in with a force that rattles your teeth.
You swear you see stars.
His mouth is on the junction between neck and shoulder. He does not want you to fade while wrapped so gloriously around his cock.
He murmurs an apology, and sinks his fangs in your flesh.
Blood drips from your wound, but it warms your body.
A fucking aphrodisiac.
You remembered your grandfather mentioning something about the Sirens and their poisonous tongues.
But now, you welcome the little bit of relief it gives you. Rafayel watches your mind go blank and your body ease around him from his bite.
He knows it's working, can see the tension ease from your body as the tension drains like water from a cup. His grip loosens until it's little more than a caress along your skin, his lips pressing gentle, apologetic kisses along your shoulder.
"Does it help?" he whispers as he slowly drags in and out. He’s still deep, still excruciating, but nowhere near as painful as before because of that single, sharp bite.
Your glazed over eyes is all the confirmation he needs.
His lengths pummel into your cunt. You’re drooling, fucked out in a way that makes you limp and pliant for the Siren.
Your body is no longer your own—it’s his. A wrung-out, trembling mess that takes whatever he gives with slack-jawed surrender. The stone scrapes your flesh, leaving intentions in their
Rafayel growls in approval, his thrusts turning deeper, hungrier as he watches you come apart beneath him. Your walls fluttering around him like they never want to let go.
“That's it. Take it all."
Every snap of his hips makes your vision blur, your stomach bulging from the sheer size of him stretching you beyond reason.
Your eyes disappear in the back of your head. Your toes are curled and you cannot ignore the burn growing in your lower extremities.
Your head thrashes to the side, the words spewing from your mouth barely make sense. “M’ gonna-Rafayel please-…can’t stop-“
His voice is rough broken glass. He's close. “Go on," he is breathless. "Release."
He buries his face in your neck, sinking his fangs in again as if he just can't get enough of the taste of you, your blood on his tongue, your body clenching around him like you're never going to let go. "That's it… that's my good Little Hunter."
You think you might get a taste of that later.
When the storm is gone and the fire has burned down. When there's nothing left but the echo of those dark words in your head and the ache in your bones from his mark.
Your body is aching, you do not know how much longer you can take his abuse. When you think you might tear from the stretch, he somehow grows even bigger at the base of his cocks.
“R-Rafayel-? What is-ohhhh!”
"Shhh—" His hips grind deep as the thick knot at the base of his cocks swells inside you, locking you both together with a wet, filthy pop. Your body convulses, overwhelmed, oversensitive, as he suddenly stills.
The first pulse hits like molten fire.
“F-Fuck! Rafayel-!" You sob his name like a prayer, your back arching off the stone as his seed floods into your womb in heavy, unrelenting spurts.
His claws dig into your thighs keeping you spread wide and impaled on him as he growls against your skin.
"...Taking it so well... such a good little mate..."
Every pump of his hips sends another wave of heat spilling deeper inside you until it feels like it’ll never stop.
Rafayel knows the next part will be the true test. If you will break or not. He’s pressing so many kisses against your throat and face you KNOW something is coming.
“R-Raf….?”
Rafayel’s face is scrunched is pain too, but you feel it.
The way an egg slithers down his shaft.
"Don’t.”
You feel it, the thick, slow slide of something far too large stretching you wider than ever before. Your body quakes beneath him, nails scrabbling against stone as a broken whimper tears from your throat. “Rafayel-! It’s—it won’t fit-!l
His teeth grit against the side of your neck.
“It will."
The egg pushes past the resistance, sliding deep inside you with a wet, obscene sound that makes Rafayel shudder above you. His cocks are twitching inside you, hell bent on filling you so full to burst.
You sob weakly at the stretch but then another follows behind it immediately. And another after that. Until every pulse of his cock drags another into place within you.
You are powerless to stop the flow of eggs filling your womb. The way your belly is stretching not only from his cocks, but the eggs he had laid inside.
A sick and twisted satisfaction washes over him. Your ancestors had slaughtered his people for decades, but now the only ruin, is what he has left behind in your cunt.

he likes taking care of you. in and out of the bedroom. it doesn’t matter if it’s a small or big action—it never fails to make your face heat up, the way he coos whenever you avoid eye contact. he makes you feel loved, which isn’t something you’re too use to.
but with him, you’re going to have to.
especially when he’s pressing kisses to your tear stained cheeks, scarred hands squishing your waist and playing soft skin. three orgasms in, and he’s tapping your twitchy clit with the tip, face flushed and expression happy as ever. it get on your nerves—he had you shaking and twitching, and has the nerve to comment on how pretty you are.
“you’re doing so well,” he hums, and his eyes flick down to your hips. the couch is definitely ruined. he’ll clean it later when you’re napping. “i think you’re ready.”
he’s been holding off for a while now. you know that for a fact; you’ve seen the goddamn dick print whenever he walked around in nothing but his sweats, hair messy and mussed from sleep and toothbrush hanging from his mouth. you’ve felt it whenever he just ‘wanted to feel you’—and would proceed to grind and moan against you like you were a deity.
and while you aren’t one to be embarrassed so easily (lie), you flush and glance down, visibly shuddering.
“that is not. going to fit.”
and the way he giggles at you? you’re fucking dead.
“i hate you—mmh! i hate you, i hate you-”
“you’re so cute.” he moans right into your ear, hips stuttering as he tries to catch his breath. the sounds coming from your body that were a result of him pushing back in, making your eyes roll, were outright pathetic. if you were in your right mind, you’d be ashamed of yourself.
well, you were ashamed, but your brain had turned into mush by now. you couldn’t put much thought into it when your boyfriend was rearranging your guts, and you swear you hear angels singing when he presses his weight down and stays there.
“haah . . . i told you i would make it fit.”
it would be easier to hate him if his smile wasn’t so bright—so pleased and loving as he watches your eyes roll back when you cum.
— kamado tanjirou , MIDORIYA IZUKU, YUJI ITADORI, HAKUJI/akaza, MARK GRAYSON ; all of your favs if you want lolol
Prone bone with Dirk/Clarence bc he can really go deep inside you while also feel your body against him, with all the little reactions you make as he presses his chest flat against your back
-🌀
goddddd yes!! honestly, this mixed with mommy kink?? where he’d hiccuping, burying his face into your skin, relentlessly and clumsily bullying his dick into the deepest parts of you? His voice breaks and sounds raspy as he sniffles, eyes red and teary as his fingers dig into you, the full weight of his body keeping you nice and under him
𝐀/𝐍: i will also do one for gene, don't worry! i’m currently in a very strong laurance obsession (when am i not, honestly), so i decided to do him first hehe
He’s pretty clingy, honestly, being extra loving and doting while sneaking in a few smug comments while he’s at it. He’s always sure to clean you off even if he’s worn out, grabbing you some water before holding onto you (like his pillow when he has the misfortune of sleeping alone instead of with you).
𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓
what he likes about himself and what he likes about you.
Laurance genuinely can’t keep his hands off of your waist and hips, both when you’re being intimate and outside of the bedroom. When you two are getting down and dirty he really can’t help himself, rubbing his hands along your stomach, squishing your hips and upper thighs until he leaves faint bruises (without truly hurting you, of course).
As for himself, it may sound strange, but the man is quite proud of how strong his legs are. He loves when you ride them, when you think you’re domming him and he uses just his legs alone to overpower you and thrust up into you or flip you over. He never stopped training and working out after he gained his strength from running and soccer practices, and when he sees how easily he can keep going round after round with just the force of his legs alone, he isn’t going to stop anytime soon.
𝐂𝐔𝐌
…self explanatory.
If he can, he likes to cum inside because of how intimate it feels to him. But if he can’t due to the dangerous responsibilities or whatever reason, he loves covering your stomach or back in his cum, spreading it across your skin with his thumb before holding your waist and getting ready to do it all over again.
𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓
what freaky little thoughts does he get off to?
Honestly, once you two are serious, when is he not thinking freaky thoughts about you? Not in a perverted way, of course… sort of. He can always have innocent moments with you without thinking of you sexually.
But… he is a little bit of a pervert when it comes to you—and he loves burning images of you in his mind, savoring how you look after he’s wrecked you. If you’ll let him, he’ll take pictures (for his eyes only) and keep them for when he’s horny and can’t get a hold of you himself, revisiting those sweet memories.
𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄
how experienced is he? does he know what he’s doing?
Honestly, Laurance talks big game, acting oh so confident and smug, but he truthfully is not as experienced in bed as many stereotype or accuse him of being. He’s not a one night stand type of guy, and he's not able to bring himself to be that level of intimate until he’s serious and trusts you.
So, while he may not be experienced, he is pent up and eager once he gets his hands on you. Because while he hasn’t done it himself, he has a wild imagination and is extremely observant, so he’ll figure out just how to unravel you in no time—and master the craft quickly.
𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
yeah.
Whichever position has him close and intimate with you, he loves. He needs to be overwhelmed with your presence, and for you to be enveloped completely in his. Whether it’s chest to chest or him pressed against your back, as long as he can see your face and hold your hips and hear your moans in his ear, he’s more than happy. Because of this, his favorite go-tos are good ol missionary, prone bone, or spooning.
𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐅𝐘
is he more playful or serious?
He’s right in between, perfectly balanced, able to laugh and tease you while also whispering how much he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you. He’s good at reading the vibe of your moods and using that to set the tone.
𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑
what does he have going on down there?
He keeps himself well groomed. Not fully shaved, but a clean cut for sure. He’s big on having good hygiene, and keeping everything trimmed and clean down there is no exception.
𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐘
how romantic is he?
He’s a fucking sap, no matter how much big game he talks or how much he teases. Even when he’s edging you or flashing a smug grin when you cum for the nth time, you can see the adoration in his eyes and hear the whispers of praise between every other breath. If you’re feeling extra vulnerable, he’s sure to absolutely smother you until you’re only thinking about how much he loves you.
𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐅𝐅
does he masturbate? and how often?
Before the two of you started having sex, he would masturbate somewhat often. He’s just so pent up after all, and when he knew he couldn’t exactly get release from you, his hand was the only other option. He has a high libido, so he used to do that about four times a week, but once the two of you started being intimate he only does it when you’re gone for a long time. If you’re together and you’re not in the mood, he’ll just grit his teeth until he calms down, because he much prefers you over his hands.
𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐊
how freaky is he?
Oh he’s freaked out. Is he as kinky as some of the other guys? Not really… but he has a few tricks up his sleeve that will have you absolutely destroyed by the end of the session. Overstimulating and edging you until you beg for him to let you cum? His favorite thing. Marking you as his and covering you in hickeys from your chest to your stomach? Mmm, he loves, and he’s doing it nearly every time. Observing you and controlling your orgasms, til tears roll down your face? Yeah. You’re not catching a break.
𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
his favorite places to… well, you know.
Anywhere he can take his time with you. He’s not a super big fan of being in public, but semi public and anywhere you won’t really be interrupted until he’s had his fill is his favorite. The bed is usually his go to, because he can keep you there for a long time, but he’s not against moving to different places around the house or fucking you in his car.
𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
what gets him going?
You. In general. It really doesn’t take much. You could breathe a little sensually in his direction and he’s already biting his lip, looking at you with bedroom eyes and caressing your hips. As soon as you make a dirty joke or show any sign you’re in the mood… good luck.
𝐍𝐎
things that turn him off.
Any form of degrading you. If he’s having sex with you, it’s because he’s in love with you, so if you ask him to treat you with anything less than full respect and care, it’ll upset him a lot.
𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋
does he get down and dirty? does he want you to?
Oh he is an absolute munch. If you’ll let him, he’s eating you out any chance he gets. He loves how flustered you get, and how he can unravel you with just his tongue (just like when he sweet talks you into a mushy puddle). He never expects you to return it if you’re nervous or don’t like it, but if you want to you won’t be hearing any complaints from him.
𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄
is he fast and rough? Or slow and sensual…
He is a perfect, torturous balance of both. He’s a pro at reading your mood, and generally he can tell when you both want to be a little more relaxed or if you two need to go at it like animals. Sometimes, he’ll do both in the same session just to tease you, so his pace really is a gamble of how freaky he’s feeling in the moment.
𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐄𝐒
does he like them?
Truthfully, he’s not the biggest fan. He’s not against one every once in a while when he’s really pent up and you two have to hurry, but he definitely doesn’t prefer them.
𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐊
is he down to experiment with you?
If you want to get a little risqué or kinky, he will too. He thinks it’s cute when you try to take the lead and try new things with him, and at the end of the day if you’re enjoying yourself you can fully believe that he is too. He has his own boundaries, though, so if you’re into hard BDSM, or into a kink that involves him hurting you, he will firmly draw the line there.
𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀
how many rounds can he go for? how long does he last?
Laurance has great stamina. He’s a runner with incredible endurance, so your sessions can and will last for an hour to multiple hours(if you’re feeling okay to keep going). Usually, he’ll drag out each orgasm for quite a while, and he can go for about four rounds before he’s officially spent. Sometimes, it’ll be just one round, but it’ll drag out for almost an hour and have you both so satisfied that there isn’t a need for more.
𝐓𝐎𝐘𝐒
does he own toys? does he use them?
He doesn’t have a huge collection, but he does have a vibrator to use on you and a blindfold as well. He doesn’t have any for himself (unless you want to incorporate something) because you’re really all he needs.
𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑
how much does he like to tease, and how?
Oh this cocky bastard is so smug and such a tease, both in and out of bed. Sometimes, he’ll whisper something completely dirty while the two of you are in public, or hanging out with your friends, and will give you the biggest smirk when you stare at him in shock, wiggling his eyebrows like a little punk. While you’re having sex, it’s so much worse, and you usually can’t tell if your face is red and hot from his words or how good he’s pleasuring you.
𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐄
how loud he is & what sounds he makes.
He’s not afraid of being vocal, but he tries not to be loud enough to overpower you, which is what he really wants hear. Still, he really can’t help himself, and there’s rarely ever a time he’s silent. He’s talking, moaning, whimpering, groaning, laughing… The whole nine yards.
𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃
a random headcanon.
He really, really wants you to try and top him. He’s pretty much a dom, it’s just in his leader-like personality, but when you gain the confidence to boss him around in bed? He’s having the time of his life. He plays along, because he enjoys you telling him what to do and how to do it (and how cute he thinks you look on top of him). He can get off at just the thought of you having your way with him, all impatient and bossy.
𝐗-𝐑𝐀𝐘
what’s going on under the belt?
Laurance isn’t particularly girthy, but his dick is long and pretty. A good 7 inches when he’s hard, veiny and a brownish pink tip. He’s a hooded king, and constantly stays on top of his hygiene down there.
𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆
how high is his sex drive?
It’s safe to say he has a very high libido. If you don’t have that high of a sex drive, he can control himself for you, but anytime you want to fuck? He’s rubbing his hands together with a little smirk. He’ll easily have sex with you everyday if he can.
𝐙𝐙𝐙
how quickly does he fall asleep afterwards?
Because of how long he likes to take his time with you, it's safe to say you’re both pretty tired afterward. If he still has something to do after, he can force himself do it (even if he wants to cuddle with you forever), though he’ll be a little less sharp and kind of dazed like a lovesick cartoon character. While he can hold out, for the sake of intimacy he likes to sleep and cuddle with you afterwards. You always fall asleep first, and he’ll always watch you for a good few minutes before dozing off himself.

The boys are gone, the tiger’s sleeping in some sun patch on the floor, and you’ve just finished pulling a tray of cupcakes from the oven. Jinu did a good job getting what you wrote down for him.
You set the tray down on the counter, admiring the rise on each one. You’re reaching for the cooling rack when—
Poof.
“Hey, Baby.” you say flatly.
“Hm.”
You turn your head just enough to see him in the living room, hands in his pockets, eyes scanning the room. He does this sometimes, teleports back home to you when he gets tired of the boys. The others would do this too, but Baby’s the only one who genuinely does not give a fuck about Jinu scolding him.
“Ever think of using a door like a normal person?”
“No.”
Figures.
You look him over. “What’s up?”
“Not much.” he says, hopping up onto the counter opposite you. “Everyone else is out.”
“Obviously.”
“About to fight. I bailed.”
You glance up. “With who?”
“Huntrix. Obviously.”
Your hands still over the cupcakes. “…What?”
“They’re in the middle of something. Whole vibe’s tense. Could blow up.”
They never tell you when they’ve been near your girls. Never. Because they know—know—you’ll get mad. And now Baby’s here, just… casually mentioning it. You set the cupcakes down slowly. “Why are you telling me this?”
He shrugs. “Seemed relevant. They’re arguing. Yelling. Abby’s doing that chest-puff thing he does. Jinu’s playing diplomat, but it’s not really working. Romance is… I dunno, making it worse on purpose. Mystery… I don’t care.”
You glare.
Baby doesn’t blink. “Wanna hear something worse?”
“No.”
He leans back on his hands. “They lie to you.”
Your jaw tightens. “No kidding.”
“No, like… lie a lot. About where they go. Who they fight. Who they don’t fight. About what the girls are doing.”
“I already figured that out.”
“Oh, and they’ve been in your room. More than once.”
You want to throw something at him. Instead, you turn back to your cupcakes, needing something to do. You grab the piping bag you’d already filled earlier, start swirling frosting. Out of the corner of your eye, you see him reach forward, hand hovering over the nearest cupcake.
“Hot.” you say without looking up. “Wait a little.”
He freezes. Pulls his hand back. Nods once. Doesn’t argue. Then, as you’re mid-frost, he keeps going: “They also talk about you when you’re not around. Not in a mean way—usually. But they make decisions about you. All the time. Jinu’s an ass.”
You swirl the last cupcake, lips pressed together so hard your jaw aches.
“Romance steals your underwear.” he says, deadpan. “Keeps them in his room. Don’t know if he sniffs them or just likes the idea, but they’re there. Told Mystery. Mystery told me. And now you know.”
You blink. “You’re disgusting.”
“I’m not the one sniffing them.” he says, reaching toward the cupcakes.
“Still hot.”
He draws his hand back, no argument, and keeps going. “Abby killed a detective who was on the street just talking about you. Sweet guy, middle-aged. Had a family. They didn’t even let you know someone was looking.”
Your stomach drops. “What?”
“Mystery’s worse.”
You slam the piping bag down. “Stop.”
“He likes to watch you sleep.”
You look so cute like this, looking at him, speechless. God, he wants to kiss you. But more than that, he wants to ruin the others’ reputations. That’s what he’s here for. To push the others under the bus. Instead he glances at the cupcakes again. “Done yet?”
You sigh. “Couple more minutes.”
“They tell each other everything about you. Little stuff. Big stuff.”
You stare. “You’re—”
“—Dead serious.” He cuts you off, leaning back again. “You know Mystery threw Abby into the wall last week? Full shoulder-check. All because Abby ate something. Better one, Romance pushed Mystery down the stairs once. Whole flight. Just because Mystery wouldn’t tell him what you were wearing that day.”
“…What else?”
“They all sat in the living room one night going through your old social media. Pictures, posts, tagged shit. Even old exes. Abby found your prom photos.”
You feel your stomach twist. “They’re insane.”
He shifts his weight, tilting his head. “You know Abby and Jinu almost kissed once?”
You blink. “What?”
“Accident.” Baby says, smirking now. “Or at least, that’s what Jinu called it. Abby was pinning him down, they both leaned in for some reason, and Romance yelled ‘gay’ so loud Mystery got scared. Oh, and Abby’s the one who broke your hairbrush.”
“My what?”
“Yeah.” Baby says. “It wasn’t Mystery, like Romance told you. Abby snapped it trying to brush his own hair. Then threw it away and said ‘she won’t notice.’”
Your blood pressure spikes. “That bastard—”
“He also stole panties.”
“What?!”
Baby smiles. Now, he smiles. “The white lace ones. I watched him take them out of the laundry. Didn’t even hesitate. Slipped ‘em in his pocket.”
You grip the edge of the counter. “And you just… let him?”
“Why would I stop him?”
You glare at him. “If you’re trying to make me hate all of you, it’s working.”
“Romance tells us everything you say to him.”
You squint. “Everything?”
“Everything.”
“But—“
“Mystery’s been in your room more times than you’ve been in the kitchen.”
“That’s—”
“Abby said he wanted to bend you over the kitchen counter. Romance offered to film it.”
Your jaw drops. “What the fuck.”
“Mm-hm.” He sits back, smug.
There’s a pause now. The cupcakes are cooling. The air smells like sugar. And you’re leaning against the counter, arms crossed, trying not to let him see the way your mind is spinning with all this new intel.
You look him over. “You’re stirring shit.”
“Mhm. You know Abby jerks off in the shower after play fighting?”
You blink. “…Excuse me?”
“Yeah.” He shrugs. “All sweaty, all hyped up, testosterone pumping, straight to the bathroom. You can hear it if you walk by. Sometimes sings, too.”
You stare at him. “…Why are you telling me this?”
He grins, that whatever mask cracking just enough to show the brat underneath. “Why not?”
“What else?”
Baby looks bored out of his fucking mind, but he do enjoys this. “Mystery has a thing about blood.”
“…In what way.”
“In all the ways.” His tone is flat. “He’s into it. Cuts, scratches, seeing it on himself, on someone else… licking it.” Baby shrugs. “Once he split his lip in a fight and made Romance kiss him just to taste it.”
You blink slowly. “…That’s sick.”
“That’s Mystery. Romance didn’t even hesitate, by the way. He just went for it. Tongue and everything. The tiger was watching.”
“Jesus.”
“Abby sleeps naked. Sometimes. Once Mystery watched him.”
You choke on a laugh. “Why?”
“Fuck knows. He used to fight in illegal pit matches.”
You raise your brows. “Like… bare-knuckle fights?”
“No.” Baby shrugs. “Like to the death.”
You stare at him.
“Sometimes not against humans.”
“…Oh.”
“He didn’t even get paid most of the time. Just liked it.”
You’re quiet for a beat. “…That explains a lot.”
“Mm.”
“More.”
He licks his teeth, obeying. “Romance eavesdrops. Constantly.”
Baby’s clearly enjoying himself. You realize quickly, he’s not telling you because you need to know. He’s telling you because it’s fun for him to pull their reputations apart while they’re not here to defend themselves.
“You know Mystery jerks off with your hair ties, right?”
“…What now?”
He shrugs again. That same flat tone, that same expression. “Yeah. Keeps one in his pocket. Uses it to have on his wrist when he’s—” he makes a vague jerking gesture “—you know. Guess he likes the smell. Wouldn’t put it past him to put it on his dick.”
You stare at him.
“Abby caught him once. Didn’t even stop, just made eye contact.”
You’re genuinely speechless. This is too much.
“Romance,” he says, pointing at the counter like he’s lining up accusations in order. “Licked one of your coffee mugs. All over the rim and the inside.”
Your stomach turns. “…When was this?”
“Last week. You were asleep. Left it in the sink, he fished it out, gave it a nice long tongue swipe. Then made himself tea in it. You drank from it the next day.”
“Are you serious?”
“Mhm.”
Your mouth is agape. He thinks about putting his fingers in there, maybe something bigger and better looking(in his humble opinion) but this is more fun now.
“You know that grey blanket you keep in your room? Abby used it.”
You freeze. “…Used it how?”
“You’re smart. You’ll figure it out.”
Your stomach flips.
“Oh—and Jinu.” He finally moves, walking over to snag a cupcake from the tray, ignoring your earlier warning. He bites into it, talks around the mouthful. “You ever notice how sometimes you smell that mint aftershave in your room? He goes in there when you’re sleeping. Stands there. Watches. Don’t even touch you, just… stands. Breathing. Real quiet.”
You feel your skin prickle.
Baby licks frosting off his thumb. It’s ridiculously hot, you can admit that.
“Mystery once cut his own tongue and let it drip on your pillow. Romance kept the tissue you used when you had that nosebleed, I found it in his bed. Abby stole your chapstick. Used it in front of the mirror. Smiled the whole time. Jinu picked up your shirt after you left it on the bathroom floor. Folded it real careful. Pressed it to his face before putting it away.”
You stare at him in open disgust. “You’re lying.”
“No.”
You narrow your eyes. “And you? What’s your disgusting habit?”
He shrugs. “I’m perfect.”
You snort. “Bullshit.”
“Okay, fine.” he says, unbothered. “Sometimes I open your door a crack just to see what you’re doing. Not in a pervy way.”
You give him a flat look. You want to throw the frosting bag at him.
“You’re welcome.” he says finally.
“For what?”
“For telling you the truth.” And then, he pushes off the counter, grabs another cupcake, and walks out. Doesn’t even look back. “Bye.”
Poof.
Gone again.
…What the fuck.
It’s actually ridiculously funny that shit like this happens to you. I mean, the torture and the whole hostage situation is not funny, I mean that it happens to YOU. It’s always you in the middle of all bullshit, all because of HUNTR/X needed a sweetheart assistant.
After a few hours, they’re back. You’re sitting on the couch, knees tucked up under you, blanket draped over your lap. You hear them before you see them. Shoes on hardwood. Voices overlapping. Abby’s laugh, loud and cocky. Mystery’s low hum to some bullshit Abby just said. Jinu’s instructions, so mean actually. Such an asshole. Romance is laughing at whatever stupid idea Abby just spat out. They’re boys. They bring noise. (AN: guys when we first see the boys in their human forms in the movie—y’know when the girls think there are fans coming—the boys have a conversation what is actually just them saying something like “totally, nice” in such a boyish tone. No idea what I wanted with this, I just wanted to point it out bc I love it sm)
Normally, you’d look up. Not to greet them, just to see what state they were in, whether they’d come back bloody, whether anyone was limping, whether the tiger was with them when not with you. But today is one of the days you don’t do that.
Baby’s little truth dump is still sitting in your head. Mystery and the hair tie. Romance and the coffee mug. Abby and your blanket. Jinu in your room at night. You don’t even know if it’s all true. But it feels true. Too specific. Too ugly to be a lie. And yet, you’re not shocked. You should be, maybe. But they’re not human. They never pretended to be.
It’s their nature.
They take. They hunger. They fixate. They do things that make no sense to you because they aren’t built like you.
Romance sniffing your underwear? Disgusting, yes. But you know who you’re living with. Not like you can do anything about it. What if it’s loneliness? What if it’s not about the underwear but about you, about having something of you when they can’t touch you? What if Abby’s… thing with the blanket isn’t just gross, but some fucked up form of comfort? You remember the look on his face sometimes when he’s laughing, like he’s performing for everyone else, like no one’s actually with him. What if Jinu standing in your room is less predator, more… guardian? Watching because it’s the only way he can make sure you’re safe, even if it’s fucked and creepy beyond normal boundaries. What if Mystery’s hair tie thing isn’t just some depraved fetish, but a special thing for him? Proof you’re real, that you’re here, when the world they walk through is made of horrible, horrible things.
You’re horribly empathetic.
“Hi, Y/N.” Jinu says, coming into view and petting Derpy.
You nod. Nothing more.
Abby walks in, brushing past him, tossing his shirt onto the couch arm. “Hey, sunshine.”
You don’t answer. Just adjust your blanket.
Romance is next, flipping his hair out of his face. “No welcome home kiss? Tragic.”
Mystery comes in, silent, takes a look at you to confirm everything’s okay.
Baby doesn’t let them see that something happened between you two. He planted the seed in your head, it’s going to grow. He doesn’t make eye contact with you, nothing suspicious. He’s surprisingly smart.
They don’t push. You’ve been cold before. It’s not new. Sometimes you freeze them out for hours, days, when you’re angry. They’ve learned to let it pass. What they don’t know is that tonight is different. That tonight, you know a lot more than last night.
Romance leans over the back of the couch at one point, close enough that you catch the faint scent of his cologne, and your brain flashes with the image of him licking the inside of your mug. You keep your face still. Abby brushes past you to grab the remote from the coffee table, and all you can think about is that blanket in your room. Jinu pauses behind you to ask if you’ve eaten. You nod, keeping your eyes forward, thinking about him in the dark, silent in your doorway. Mystery sits on the floor, idly running his thumb over something small in his palm. Not a hair tie, but from now on you’ll pay attention to that.
And the thing is… you believe Baby. Because you’ve felt this from them before. The way they look at you. The way they circle you without touching. The way they obey the rules but bend them in ways that keep you around.
It’s disturbing.
And it’s real.
It’s. their. nature.
They’re demons. They live off want and hunger and possession. They stalk and take and keep. Why would you be surprised? But knowing it—really knowing it—puts a weight in your chest. You can’t unsee it. Can’t unknow it.
And you hate that a small part of you, the part that’s gone soft, keeps whispering: What if they’re just lost?
You push it down.
They’re evil. So evil. And you’re not letting yourself forget that.
Abby’s sprawled on the couch, one foot on the table, lazily scrolling his phone. Romance is perched half on the arm of the couch, flipping through a glossy magazine he’s not actually reading, his foot touching you(lmfao). Mystery’s sitting cross-legged on the floor near the tiger, head slightly bowed, hand on fur. Baby’s leaned against the kitchen counter in the background, chewing gum, pretending to be uninterested while his eyes flick toward you every few seconds, he’s waiting for the consequences of whatever he started earlier.
You stand, pulling the blanket tighter around you as you head for the hallway.
“Going to bed?” Jinu’s voice follows you.
You pause, turn slightly, one eyebrow raised. “Yeah.” Then, with casualness: “Actually… can you bring me some stuff tomorrow?”
He straightens slightly, attention immediately locked in on you. “Of course. What do you need?”
“Chocolate. A lot of it. Milk and dark. The expensive kind, not the corner store stuff. Toothpaste—minty, not that gross gel kind. New socks. Shampoo. A hair mask. That cinnamon tea I liked—”
He’s already nodding, filing it all away.
“—and maybe a candle? Like, a vanilla one. Oh, and fresh fruit. Mangoes if they’re ripe, cherries if they’re not overpriced, and don’t you dare get underripe bananas again. I’ll know.”
Romance has lowered his magazine completely, grinning. Abby’s smiling, looking at you, head tipped back. Even Mystery’s head has turned slightly toward you, though his hair still hides most of his face. Baby doesn’t look at you, but does he ever look at anyone? But he knows what you’re doing.
They spoil you. Always. It’s not even a question anymore, if you ask, you get. Like that time you complained once, once, about the kitchen not having your favorite brand of peanut butter, and three hours later Abby came back with an entire crate of the stuff. Or when you idly mentioned missing that silk pillowcase you had at home, and there was one folded neatly on your bed the next morning. You wish you knew who was that. Or when Romance brought back the stupidly expensive perfume you were washing off your body when you first met him(in the shower, remember?) he’d gone out of his way just to find the exact bottle.
They didn’t even expect thank-yous. That was the weirdest part. You’ve wondered if it’s guilt, some fucked up attempt to balance out the torture, the captivity, the constant presence in your space. A demon’s version of making it up to you. Or maybe it’s not guilt at all. Maybe they just want to see what you’ll ask for next.
Jinu’s still waiting, patient as ever, a faint smile on his lips. “That all?”
“Mhm.”
His gaze flicks toward the others for half a second, like he’s aware of their attention but choosing not to care. “Alright. I’ll get it.”
Jinu is different. Always has been. Actually, he’s not. Not really. He’s just better at holding onto the scraps of whatever he used to be before he turned demon. The others, they’re further gone. Hungrier. More obvious in their want.
“What did you guys do today?”
He thinks for a second. “Rehearsal, mostly.”
The others start giggling. You have a slight suspicion that they’ve been fucking with him the whole time. Jinu sends a done look towards them, but then his eyes are immediately back on you.
The corner of your mouth quirks, but you don’t laugh.
It’s easy to talk to Jinu. Too easy. But the question in your head is ugly: How much of that is real? How much of what he tells you is truth, and how much is performance, just another mask over the same nature Baby told you about? Because Jinu’s a manipulative asshole and you know that way too good.
The conversation drifts to little things, a book you’ve been reading, a broken mug in the kitchen. It’s nice. Normal.
Your hand brushes his as you walk past him, slow and casual. A little touch. On purpose.
“Thanks.” you murmur, letting your eyes catch his for a moment.
The room stays quiet as you leave. You can feel the others’ eyes on you, but you don’t look back.
Not so cute time skip to the next morning. They’re gone.
You stand in the middle of the hallway, hands shoved into the pockets of your hoodie, staring at the row of closed doors. You have one job today. The things Baby said are daring you to confirm them. And you… you do want to confirm them. Not because you want to be right, but because there’s something almost unbearable about not knowing. About living next to a locked door that might be empty or might be holding your name carved into the walls.
You’re going to look.
Carefully.
Not a single thing out of place, not a sheet folded differently, not a sock moved an inch.
First, you open Mystery’s room, slow, slow, slow, letting the latch slide silently. It smells like him, you think Jinu makes him wear this perfume. It’s also messy, not filthy, but it’s cluttered in a way that tells you he does not give a single shit about “aesthetic.” Piles of clothes. One of those sleeveless shirts he wears hanging halfway off the back of a chair. A low table littered with different things, a chipped mug, a lighter.
The bed’s not made. Sheets tangled, pillow kicked halfway onto the floor. You catch yourself imagining him sleeping like that, restless, limbs flung out, hair in his face.
You shake it off. You’re here for a reason.
You start with the obvious, the desk shoved against the wall. There’s no laptop, no electronics except a single lamp with a bulb that flickers when you touch it. A small tin with matches. Some papers. You open a drawer. You pay attention to it, so you notice the hair ties. Not all of them are yours, but some are. You can tell. Some still with a hair or two stuck in the elastic. Others stretched out, twisted, worn down.
You close that drawer very, very slowly.
The closet is not organized by clothing type. It’s organized by meaning. One side is those sleeveless sweater shirt things Jinu puts on him. The other is other things. Scarves. Scarves that aren’t his. A necklace you recognize because you lost it months ago. A folded hoodie that’s definitely yours, tucked between two black t-shirts.
You reach out and touch the fabric, then pull back fast, heart in your throat. You can smell your own detergent still faintly clinging to it.
The bed is your last stop.
You hesitate. Still, you check the space under it. No shoeboxes. Just a duffel bag, half-zipped. Inside a knife, two spare shirts, that’s about it.
You step back, scanning the room once more to make sure it looks exactly as it did when you entered. Messy, yes, but it’s his mess. And now you’ve walked through it, touched it, felt it.
Mystery’s collecting you in pieces. Quietly. Always.
You close the door without a sound.
Next, Romance’s. You put your hand on the knob. Breathe. Turn.
Damn, there’s an atmosphere in here, heat and… and fucking great mood lighting that gets you a little jealous tbh. Not the leather-and-chains sex dungeon you’d expect from someone with his stage persona, though you do clock a couple of suspicious hooks in the wall.
The bed has a canopy frame. There’s a mirror bolted to the ceiling above the bed. Lots of mirrors around the room in general. And soft fabric everywhere, throws, rugs, pillows.
You don’t even let yourself look too long at the nightstands, because from the glint of metal and the shapes of things, you know you don’t want to catalogue them in detail. You spot the bottle of lube sitting on it though. Next to it, a half-empty glass of red wine, lipstick print on the rim that definitely isn’t yours.
Or is it?
The walls are lined with shelves, but instead of books there are… objects. Glass bottles. Candles. Coils of rope in different colors. A pair of handcuffs, gold. A leather crop leaning casually against the corner like it was just used. Some things you don’t even have a name for, hanging neatly on hooks. One of the ropes has a small knot tied into it, and you recognize the thread, it’s from the cardigan you wore once before it disappeared into the laundry.
You keep moving, slow, scanning for anything else, careful not to touch what you can’t put back exactly the same. There’s a vanity against one wall, the surface crowded with cologne bottles, rings, and a dish with a handful of… random things. Trinkets. There are makeup palettes, brushes, highlighters, bottles. He’s got more lip products than you, and some of them are shades you’ve worn. Literally worn. You spot a coffee mug. The mug. The one you’ve been missing for weeks, the one Baby swore Romance licked the inside of after you drank from it.
You move carefully, eyes scanning for anything useful. But Romance’s organization system is pure chaos. Every drawer is a gamble. One has condoms. Different colors, textures, still in boxes. Another is full of silk scarves, all smelling faintly of his cologne.
At the foot of the bed, there’s a trunk. Polished wood, brass clasps. You crouch, open it just a crack, and shut it again.
No.
What you did see in that half-second was enough, a blur of lace, a flash of satin, something unmistakably shaped like a whip.
There’s a magazine on the floor by the nightstand. You pick it up, half-expecting porn, and… yeah. Porn. Pages curled from use. They still make these?? Omfg.
You carefully put it back. Then kneel down, careful not to touch the piles of god-knows-what scattered across his floor, and hook your fingers into the edge of the mattress.
Fabric.
A lot of fabric.
The first thing your brain registers is color, pale, pastel, lace. Then you realize what you’re actually looking at.
Your underwear.
You freeze, eyes scanning the little pile like maybe they’ll disappear if you stare hard enough.
No. Still there.
A pair you haven’t seen in weeks, the soft blue lace you liked. The black silk with the tiny bow. And oh, another one.
Fucking amazing. Great.
You don’t need to see more. You back away toward the door, pulse steady but stomach tight.
Baby was right about him, too. You’re starting to wonder if he undersold it.
The door clicks shut behind you. Two rooms down. Abby’s is next. His door is cracked open just enough to make you suspicious. You push it open slowly.
This room is messy. This is just… mess. Clothes everywhere. Some clean, most not. Sneakers kicked into corners. The faint scent of aftershave. It’s also bigger than you thought, Abby’s the kind of guy who probably claimed the largest bedroom without asking. The bed is wide enough for three people, sheets wrinkled, and clearly never washed unless someone else forces him to.
You step inside.
Clothes everywhere, clean, dirty, impossible to tell which is which. The bed is a heap of pillows, blankets, and at least two duvets because apparently Abby sleeps like a king.
The desk in the corner is your first stop. Loose change, and a cracked pair of sunglasses, an empty beer can. You dig through the drawer, condoms. So many condoms. Different brands, like he’s been testing them. Some opened but unused. He also has a stash of old-school porn magazines, some folded open to pages so worn they’re almost soft.
The nightstand has a lamp, a handful of crumpled receipts. There’s also another porn magazine spread halfway open, glossy pages sticking slightly from—yeah, you’re not touching that.
You move to the closet next. It’s full of clothes that aren’t his size. Does Jinu make him wear these? Otherwise it’s chaos. And in the back, a pair of high heels. Not yours. Too big. But the straps are worn down like they’ve been handled a lot.
You crouch to check the floor of the closet. There’s a gym bag. You unzip it, there are resistance bands, a jump rope, and another porn mag shoved between a towel and a spare pair of socks. And your phone.
Wait, your phone?
Or what’s left of it.
It’s not just cracked. It’s obliterated. Screen shattered into glittering pieces, battery pried out. It looks like someone snapped it in their hands.
You pick it up carefully, a shard of glass catching the light. You turn it over in your hands, thumb brushing the case you used every day, and your stomach twists.
He made sure you’d never use it again.
You put it back exactly where you found it.
You take one last sweep of the room before slipping out and leaving the door just like you found it.
Jinu’s door is next.
It smells… neutral. Not scented like Romance’s incense, not pungent like Abby’s cologne-and-sweat cocktail. Just… clean air, maybe faintly soapy. It’s not pristine—Jinu’s not that type—but it’s lived in. Bed’s unmade, but only because someone actually slept in it. A sweater tossed over the chair.
You start moving through it carefully. No condoms. No lube. No hair tie collections. No underwear trophies. At first glance, this is the cleanest of all their rooms, maybe even boring. On the desk, a closed laptop which you don’t even try, you know he’ll notice, a stack of pens, and—most interesting—a black notebook.
You pick it up, flip it open.
…you don’t understand the language. You flip a few more pages, trying to find a clue, but it’s all the same, symbols and words you can’t solve.
The rest of the room is not shocking. The closet is… surprisingly normal. Clothes, neatly hung. Coats, jackets, shirts, belts that you’re lucky he didn’t whoop your ass with back when you weren’t this free and kept acting up. A small safe tucked in the corner—yeah, you’re not getting into that without tools.
You leave the room exactly as you found it, the neatness making it easy to retrace your steps without leaving a trace.
You move on. Then stand there, hand hovering over Baby’s door, and for once you don’t know if you should. Did he expect you to look into his room? Anyway, this is your one shot to find out.
The air inside is heavier than you expect, warm, faintly sweet with whatever cologne he’s wearing lately, layered over smoke. Cigarettes. The curtains are half-drawn, filtering the daylight into stripes across the bed. It’s… not a disaster. Not tidy, but not apocalyptic. A few empty bottles roll lazily when you shut the door, glass knocking against wood. Cheap. Expensive. He clearly doesn’t discriminate.
You crouch and peek under the bed, more bottles, half-crushed cigarette packs, and a hoodie that looks like it hasn’t been washed in months.
On his desk, there’s a scattering of coins, a lighter, and yep, a switchblade.
You look at the bed. Nothing interesting.
And then, when you straighten and glance at the pillow, something catches your eye.
White.
Fabric.
You lift the pillow.
They’re panties.
Your panties.
Who else’s would they be? These guys don’t bring girls home. They have you. And you can only try not to imagine Jinu wearing a thong.
You just stare at them for a moment.
There’s a small, dark, awful part of you that likes it. The wrongness wraps around you in a way that feels… close. Intimate. It’s disturbing and validating all at once, this is proof he thinks about you even when you’re not there. Proof you’ve left a mark on him, even if it’s the kind you’d rather not.
Your hand almost twitches to take them back. But you don’t. You put the pillow back exactly where it was, like you were never there.
Baby’s told you about Romance and Abby having your stuff. He enjoyed ratting them out. But he never mentioned himself. Bitch.
You stand there a moment longer than you should.
They’re creepy. You should feel disgusted, furious, grossed out.
You do.
But…
It also does something else. Something you’re not going to put into words. Something you don’t want to even admit to yourself.
You straighten, dust your hands off like nothing happened, and step away from the bed.
One last sweep of the room. Nothing too wild. Baby’s not hiding a sex dungeon or a ritual site, he’s just in his own world.
You leave the room, shutting the door with the same quiet care you’ve given all of them. You’ve seen everything you came to see. And maybe… more than you wanted. Maybe you wanted to find these. Not just because it’s evidence, not because it’s leverage. But because it’s proof of something that no one else can see but you.
Proof that they’ve crossed a line.
Proof that they’ve thought about you, held you in ways you never gave permission for.
And somewhere in the fucked-upness(is that a real word) of this situation… that feels nice. It’s sick. You know it’s sick. You know you’re not supposed to like it when someone steals from you, touches what’s yours, twists it into something dirty. You’re not supposed to enjoy the thought that Baby kept something so intimate, slept with it under his pillow.
But the longer you stay in their world, the harder it gets to separate “supposed to” from what actually happens.
They’re violent, lustful, chaotic, feral. They kill, they lie, they manipulate. Some of them have a taste for things that would make your stomach twist if you let it. And yet… You can’t look away. There’s a quiet, strange admiration that’s already begun to take root. Underneath all the filth, the mess, the brutality… there’s something incredibly, disturbingly beautiful about them. They’re so handsome that you find yourself obsessing over them sometimes when you’re alone, replaying the way Mystery’s hair falls in his face, the shape of Abby’s jawline, the impossible smoothness of Romance’s skin, Jinu’s expressions. Even Baby’s shit posture has its own pull. And it’s worse when they’re in demon form. You’re supposed to find that terrifying, the marks across their skin, the glow in their eyes, the shapes of their mouths. But they’re still beautiful like that. Otherworldly. Some part of you wants to trace those marks with your fingertips, see if they’re raised or smooth, if they burn to the touch or shiver under it.
It’s pathetic.
There’s a connection now. One you didn’t ask for, but it’s here. It’s not normal. It’s not safe. It’s sick. It’s intimate.
And you do feel bad for them sometimes. You see them fight, see the flash of their real faces, see how quickly they burn through everything they touch.
They’re demons, yes, but you’ve seen them come home messed up and laughing, or messed up and not laughing, and it twists something in you. On those nights, you want to give them big hugs. Wrap your arms around them and say I get it. I know it’s not easy. You want to curl them into your arms and make everything okay, even though you know it can’t be. Even though they’d probably snap at you for trying.
You feel drawn in, like gravity. Like you’ve lost control, even though you’re still technically free. You notice it creeping in. You find yourself waiting for them to come home, listening for the sound of their footsteps in the hallway, even when you’ve sworn you’re too angry or annoyed to care. You replay small interactions in your head, analyzing every tone, every inflection, every glance. Did they smile because they like you? Did they growl because they’re frustrated with themselves? Did they do that thing with their eyes because… because you don’t even know? You forgive things faster than you should. The mess, the smells, the filth, the borderline criminal behavior, they’re all… endurable. Somehow. You also start to mimic their habits a little.
And yet, at the same time, you feel little bursts of rage at them. You feel fear. You feel arousal. You feel empathy. You feel frustration. You want them gone. You want them close. You feel trapped by them. You feel drawn in voluntarily.
Fear. Adoration. Rage. Lust. Confusion. Empathy. It’s all there. Layered, overlapping. You’re angry at them for kidnapping you, for torturing you, for exposing you to a life you never asked for. And yet… when they’re out of sight, you can’t help but miss them. You think about how they look when they’re not performing for the human world, how dangerous, how elegant, how hot they are. Even the scars, the marks, the demon traits… somehow, they’re beautiful to you.
You think of the panties under Baby’s pillow again, and your chest tightens. You feel a little guilty for that flutter of heat, for the weird, perverse, thrilling tug in your stomach. But… not like you can do anything about it.
You sit down on the couch, a pillow tucked beside you, and just breathe.
It’s disturbing. It’s intimate. It’s your new reality.
You don’t know how you’ll deal with it when they return. You don’t know how you’ll resist them, how you’ll keep control. Because despite yourself, you feel a small, guilty pull toward them all. A longing to hold them. A longing to forgive them. A longing to… stay.
Please accept my genuinely ass time skip to hours later, like late night. Derpy’s massive head is resting in your lap, his tiger breath warm against your thighs as you absentmindedly scratch under his chin. His tail thumps lazily against the couch every so often.
The door swings open, them arriving back from… whatever the hell they were doing. You never know. Sometimes you don’t want to know.
“Hi, Y/N.” That’s Jinu first, hands are full of bags.
“Hey, love.” Romance chimes in right after. Now there’s no smirk, no lazy up-and-down like he’s undressing you with his eyes. Just… a smile. It’s disarming enough that you blink, your fingers pausing on Derpy’s fur.
Abby’s voice comes next, but he’s not really speaking to you, he’s mid-sentence with Mystery, his arm casually slung over Mystery’s shoulders. You catch pieces of it, something about a fight, something about “should’ve seen his face.” Mystery grunts in reply, which is Mystery-speak for I’m listening but don’t expect a monologue.
Baby’s the last through the door. When his eyes lock on you, something flickers there. It’s quick, too quick for the others to catch, but you see it. You’re supposed to, because you two have a secret together.
“Hi.” You say it back now.
Jinu crosses the living room, drops bags in front of you. “For you.”
“Thanks.” you say, and he just nods before disappearing down the hall.
Romance follows Abby and Mystery’s conversation, still talking about something ridiculous, his voice rising and falling. Abby throws his head back laughing at whatever joke just landed, and Mystery’s lips twitch into a smile.
Baby lingers for half a second. Doesn’t speak. Doesn’t smirk. Just… looks. That I-know-you-know glint in his eyes. It’s ridiculous, but your pulse ticks up a notch. There’s something about being the keeper of a secret that feels hot.
He’s the one to break eye contact first, heading for his own room without a word.
When the door to the last bedroom shuts, you exhale slowly. Derpy shifts, sensing your movement as you stand and scoop up the bags. Some are lighter, some heavy enough to clink when you set them on the kitchen counter. You like this part. Unpacking groceries. Putting things in their place. The boys know you like doing it, too. That’s why they always leave the kitchen things for you. It’s sweet from them, actually.
You put everything in the fridge and cupboards without hesitation, knowing exactly where everything goes. You can almost pretend this is your kitchen, that you live here by choice. The sound of your own movements is soothing, the crinkle of bags, the soft thud of bottles being set in place, the faint hum of the refrigerator when you open it. The boys aren’t hovering. No one’s breathing down your neck. You can almost… breathe.
You’re sliding a carton of juice into the fridge—
“Boo.”
You yelp—loud, embarrassingly loud—and spin around so fast your hair whips your face.
Abby’s grinning. Of course he is. Ridiculously tall, stupidly broad, annoyingly gorgeous… and yet somehow, somehow, good at sneaking up on you like a damn ghost.
“Jesus fu—” You stop yourself halfway through cursing, mostly because your brain is catching up to the other detail. He’s not just close. He’s pressed against you. Not brushing, not hovering, pressed. You can feel the heat of his chest, and that casual lean of his body into yours like he’s claiming the air you breathe.
You exhale hard and shrug him off, turning away from him. “Get off.”
He doesn’t move right away, but he does ease his weight back after a second. “That’s not nice.”
“Don’t care.” you mutter, turning back to the counter.
“Oh?” His tone shifts, still playful. “You know what else isn’t nice?”
You glance over your shoulder, already suspicious. “What.”
“Looking through other people’s rooms.”
The carton in your hand suddenly feels about fifty pounds heavier. Your grip tightens just enough to make the cardboard creak.
Fuck.
Your pulse skips. For half a second you freeze, eyes flicking up to his. You force yourself to turn back to the fridge, shoving the carton inside like nothing’s wrong. “Okay. You know. And? No big deal.” You don’t look at him. You don’t give him that satisfaction. But your brain is suddenly very aware of every step you took that morning, every door you opened, every drawer you peeked into. The broken pieces of your phone in his closet. The fact that he’s not guessing. He knows.
Everything’s fine. He knows you went through his room. Then what? That doesn’t automatically mean he knows you checked the others. Still… your body betrays you. Your pulse kicks up. Your breath comes a fraction faster. And you hate that you know he can smell it and feel it. He doesn’t say it. Doesn’t call you out for being rattled. But his eyes are heavy on you, tracing the way your shoulders have stiffened, the way your weight shifts in place.
“Relax.” he says finally. “I’m not mad.”
“I am.” That’s Baby’s voice though.
You and Abby both turn, and there’s Baby leaning on the wall. One hip cocked, cigarette unlit between his fingers, eyes cool and flat in that I’m-bored-but-you’re-screwed way only he can pull off.
For a moment, the kitchen goes silent except for the faint hum of the fridge. Then, slowly, oh-so-slowly, Abby’s gaze swings back to you. “Ohhh… so it wasn’t just my room you snooped in, huh?”
Your mouth opens, then closes. You want to play it cool, shrug, roll your eyes. You do shrug, but it feels stiffer than it should, your shoulders jerking just a little too sharply. “Don’t flatter yourself.”
Abby chuckles low in his chest. Baby just watches you. The cigarette spins lazily between his fingers.
“Y/N.” Romance’s voice from behind you. You didn’t hear him come in, didn’t hear anything. He says your name like it’s a sigh, like you’ve disappointed him on some deep, emotional level, except you know it’s fake.
You turn your head to look at him. He’s not mad. If anything, he looks impressed. Flattered, even.
“Going through my room?” Romance tuts, walking forward. “Tsk, tsk. And here I thought you were shy.”
“I didn’t—” you start, but he cuts in smoothly.
“You did.” He’s close now, circling to lean a hip against the counter opposite you. “Tell me… what did you think? Did you like what you saw?”
“Jeez.” you mutter, pressing your lips together and grabbing another bag from the counter just to have something to do.
Abby still to your right, Baby in the doorway behind him, Romance now blocking the space directly in front of you. It’s not aggressive exactly, but it’s a cage all the same.
Your brain’s scrambling for something clever, but it’s just not working. You’re genuinely stressed.
“Cat got your tongue?” Romance tilts his head, watching you too closely.
You want to say something—anything—but your throat feels dry, words catching. You end up just standing there, holding a box of cereal like it’s a shield.
Abby raises his brows. “Look at her. Speechless.”
Baby finally moves, stepping into the kitchen. “You’re sloppy.”
You frown. “Excuse me?”
“You missed things.”
You hate how that makes your stomach drop again. Because now you’re wondering, what did you miss? What else is hidden in their rooms that you didn’t see?
Romance chuckles softly, leaning forward on his elbows. “See, Baby’s right. If you’re going to snoop, you’ve gotta be thorough. Careful. I mean…” He smirks, eyes dragging over your face. “If you’d asked, I would’ve just shown you.”
“Shut up.” you snap, heat rushing to your cheeks before you can stop it.
You don’t give them more. You slide the cereal onto the shelf, grab the next item from the bag. They can talk themselves in circles for all you care.
Except you do care. Your chest is tight, your skin buzzing with that uncomfortable awareness that they’re peeling you open without even raising their voices. And beneath the irritation, there’s something hotter, sharper, that you refuse to look at too closely.
Romance sees it. Of course he does. He leans in slightly. “Nervous?”
Abby leans in, still crowding your right side, his shadow stretching across the counter. He makes that exaggerated “ow” face, then hisses softly. “Naughty.”
Romance, is shaking his head slowly, almost mournfully. “I’m just… disappointed.” His tone is mock-serious. “I expected better from you.” Then he looks over his shoulder. “Hey, boy.”
Mystery is in the doorway, Romance noticed him sooner than you did.
Romance nods at him. “She been in your room too?”
Mystery nods once. It’s so simple, so plain, and yet it feels like the floor drops an inch beneath your feet.
Abby lets out a low whistle, and then he reaches over and gives your shoulder a firm shake. Not playful, not gentle, not exactly cruel, but too much. Enough to jolt your balance a little. Enough to send your pulse skittering. “Look at you.” he says. “Little sneak.”
Romance hisses, dragging the sound out, making it annoying.
And yeah, maybe it is a joke to them, but their kind of “joking” always comes with edges. They’re not gentle. They’re never gentle.
Suddenly, you remember the torture. The way their hands didn’t just hold, they restrained. The way they stood too close, making escape not even an option worth thinking about. The way their voices could switch from sweet to sharp in a single breath.
You told yourself you’d adapted, that you knew the difference between when they were playing and when they were hurting. But right now, with Abby’s grip a little too tight and Romance’s smirk a little too fixed, those lines blur again.
Your stomach’s sinking. There’s a strange hollowness there, a dropping sensation that makes it hard to breathe evenly. Your chest is tight, that particular tightness that’s a split-second away from tears, but you’re not crying. You’re not even blinking faster. You’re just there.
Then, footsteps again. Jinu steps into view, sees the way everyone’s positioned, sees you. He knows too. That’s why he came.
They all know.
They’re not just looking at you, they’re sensing you. They can feel it, the way your pulse is too quick, the way your breath is shallower, the way you’re holding your shoulders like they’re trying to fold inward.
You’re panicking. Not in a loud, flailing way. In that quiet, locked-up way where your body is screaming move, but your feet aren’t listening. Fight or flight, but you’re stuck in the third option—freeze.
It’s not the same as the day they first dragged you here, or the nights they decided you needed to be “taught a lesson.” But it’s close enough. Close enough that your skin prickles with memory, that your thoughts are looping too fast to grab hold of one.
It’s so stupid, you knew getting caught was a possibility. You knew they’d find out eventually. But you didn’t think it would be like this.
Romance finally breaks the silence with a soft, “What’s the matter?” His tone is honeyed, but there’s an undertone there, a quiet acknowledgment that he knows exactly what’s the matter.
You don’t answer.
“Don’t look so scared.” Abby says, smiling like it’s all harmless fun. But his size, his proximity, the weight of him, none of it is harmless.
You can’t even look at Jinu, because you know if you do, you’ll see that same quiet, knowing stare he had when he caught you in smaller lies before.
Romance’s gaze drops briefly to your hands, then back up. “You didn’t touch anything in mine, did you?”
You open your mouth to answer, but the sound that comes out is thinner than you meant. “I didn’t break anything.”
Romance smiles faintly at that. “Not what I asked.”
Your throat feels tight, like it’s going to pinch your words before they make it out. But you manage to spit them out anyway. “What… what did I do wrong?”
It’s an honest question, shaky in its delivery because you genuinely don’t know which way this is going to swing.
Romance blinks once. Abby actually tilts his head like you’ve just asked him to solve a math problem. Mystery’s expression doesn’t change, but you can tell he’s turning it over in his head. Baby leans against the counter like this is mildly interesting background entertainment. Jinu… is just looking at you.
They glance at each other, silent, but definitely communicating.
Abby shrugs. “Mm. Nothing.”
Romance nods. “Yeah, no. You didn’t mess up.”
Mystery gives the smallest half-shrug, which in Mystery-speak is agreement.
Jinu clicks his tongue once, almost thoughtful. “You were actually good at it.”
Baby, deadpan: “Could barely tell.”
Abby gestures lazily toward you. “We could smell it though.”
“Yeah,” Jinu adds. “could tell right away.”
Oh, so that’s how they figured it out.
Romance even chuckles. “We weren’t mad, sweetheart. Just… y’know. Curious.”
Jinu tilts his head slightly, lets his mouth pull into that faint, disappointed downturn that somehow feels worse than yelling. “Still, you went behind our backs.”
Romance catches on immediately, mirroring Jinu’s tone. “Mmh. And after everything we do for you…”
Abby leans in again, two hands on his chest, his voice dropping into mock-betrayal. “Hurts my feelings, doll.”
Mystery actually shakes his head. It’s so cute seeing him actually do things with the others.
Even Baby, without moving from his post, lets out a quiet, disapproving “Tch.”
It’s so obviously an act, an exquisite manipulation, that it almost makes you laugh. Almost. Because they’re good at this. Too good. They’re pressing down just enough to make your chest tighten again.
This turns them on.
They like you a lot. Too much. On a pathetic, feral level. And the fact that you just gave them a brand-new game, one where you’re clever enough to almost fool them but not quite, is thrilling to them. It’s the hunt. It’s the power shift. It’s knowing you broke a rule, knowing you’re capable of being bad, and knowing they caught you. You cornered. You caught. You flushed and fidgeting and trying to figure out whether you’re actually in trouble.
“But,” Jinu adds. “you could’ve just asked. We’d have shown you anything you wanted to see.”
“Well,” you start. “I suppose you’ve gone through my stuff too. Multiple times.”
Jinu’s brows lift the tiniest bit. Romance’s smile doesn’t falter, but it changes, turns sly, like he’s been waiting for you to say something like this. Abby tilts his head like he’s assessing how much trouble you’re trying to start. Mystery just blinks at you. Baby’s mouth twitches, not quite into a smirk, but close enough that you catch it.
“Don’t lie.” you say, firm this time. “This builds on trust.”
You watch the words settle over them, see the way Jinu’s jaw ticks slightly before he smooths it over. Romance gives a single, quiet laugh, like oh, you’re learning to play. Abby’s face says I’m not even mad, I’m impressed.
They don’t outright deny it. They’re not stupid.
You don’t mention Baby on purpose. You don’t tell them that if it weren’t for him opening that bored little mouth and spilling the filthiest truths about them over cooling cupcakes, you wouldn’t have been creeping through their rooms.
You keep it tucked away. Your secret. His secret.
He knows you’re not going to sell him out. And god, does he respect it. The five of them can be greedy, possessive monsters, but this? This is something only you and he know. A little slice of something between you that none of the others get to touch. And the fact that it’s about them—their dirtiest habits, their most pathetic secrets—makes it so much better. It’s hot to him. Unbelievably hot. The idea of having a secret together in this pressure? It’s like you’ve just tied a little invisible string between the two of you, one that tugs every time you make eye contact.
Having a secret together is unbelievably hot.
Romance opens his mouth, probably to say something charming, but you cut him off with a simple, “Save it.”
You feel the weight of Baby’s stare even as Abby keeps looking at you, even as Romance gives a small, disappointed “tsk” for show, even as Jinu sighs like he’s processing how best to handle this misbehavior.
You manage to swallow down the tight, dry feeling in your throat long enough to get words out. “Alright.” you say. “I’ll leave your stuff alone… if you leave mine.”
For one, tiny second, there’s quiet.
Abby doesn’t even change his face. “No.”
Romance almost laughs, almost, but what comes out is more like a hum. “Cute.” he says, tilting his head. “But no.”
Jinu doesn’t even pause before he’s shaking his head. “That’s not how this works.”
Mystery doesn’t speak, but the faint shape his mouth picks up is a silent agreement.
You blink once, slowly, because the refusal is so immediate, so matter-of-fact, that it’s actually unbelievable. “So… you’re telling me, you can snoop in my stuff—touch it, take it, break it—but I can’t—”
“Correct.” Romance cuts in, leaning slightly against the counter now, folding his arms.
They’re not even pretending to be fair. Not even pretending to negotiate. They don’t care that it’s your stuff. They don’t care about rules unless they’re the ones writing them.
“That’s—” You almost choke on it, but you push through. “That’s bullshit.”
Romance gives you this faux-sympathetic smile, like he’s sorry you feel that way, except he’s not sorry at all. “Maybe. But it’s still the way it is.”
Jinu sighs. “Just don’t do it again.”
“Not unless,” Abby says. “you want us to do worse to yours.”
Your jaw tightens. “You already do.”
Jinu shifts his weight. “We could do more.”
And that’s when it really sinks in, they’re genuinely trying to get you to agree to a one-way deal. They honestly think you’ll just accept that they can pry into every corner of your life but you can’t touch theirs. The sheer arrogance of it makes your skin buzz.
“No.” you say finally.
Romance blinks, just once. “No?”
“No.” you repeat, sharper this time.
Abby smiles. “Then you’ll deal with the consequences.”
“Bring them.” you snap, and the words leave your mouth before you can think them through.
There’s a tiny pause after that.
Baby finally speaks, but even that’s a: “Careful.”
It’s not a threat. Not quite. But it’s not not one, either.
You can feel your pulse in your throat again, even though you’re still standing your ground. Because deep down, you know they like this. They like the push and pull, the challenge.
But you’ve never been angrier. Not with them. Not with this whole, suffocating power dynamic. Though you don’t know what you expected. They’re demons. Unfair. Evil. It’s in their nature to tilt the scales so the weight always lands on you. You could scream yourself raw about fairness, justice, privacy, it would slide right off them. You could pull the scar card, too. Remind them how they tortured once, twice, over and over. But what would that do? Nothing will work. And you know that.
“Leave me alone.” you say quietly, stepping past, trying to make the whole thing over before it spirals into something you’ll regret.
Abby’s hand clamps around your arm before you even register the motion. His palm is huge, hot. It burns. Not physically, but in that wrong way, that reminder that they can take your space, your breath, your movement whenever they want.
You immediately scratch him with your nails, digging hard enough across his wrist that the skin gives.
He jerks back with a hiss. A real one through his teeth, more irritation than pain, but still, it landed. He lets you go. Drops your arm with a little flick, like fine.
It’s been a while since you hurt one of them. At least tried to. The last time you had that much bite in you was back when they were still trying to pry secrets out of you. You’d clawed, snapped, bit down on Abby’s shoulder so hard he bled. You remember the taste of iron, the way Romance had howled with laughter while Jinu peeled you off him.
You leave. You know they’re watching you, Abby still nursing the sting of your nails, Romance biting back a laugh because he thinks everything you do is either hilarious or adorable, Jinu torn between disapproval and worry, Baby with his narrowed eyes calculating what to do with this new piece of data. Mystery… dude I always want to say so much about him but what is there to say? He doesn’t give us anything to work with, he’s just quiet and pretty.
You feel satisfaction. Still, it’s complicated, isn’t it? Because the guilt does creep in too. Watching you walk away, they probably feel both. Bad—because there’s a tiny part of them that wants to keep you safe, happy, whole. Good—because the sting of your defiance feeds the sick hunger in them that craves fight as much as it craves surrender.
They’re fucked up.
And maybe you’re fucked up too, because there’s a piece of you—tiny, secret, shameful—that relishes this too. Relishes that they’ll be thinking about you all night now. That every time Abby flexes his hand he’ll remember the scratch marks you left. That Romance will tease him endlessly for “letting the little human get teeth in.” That Jinu will probably check on you later, never giving up. That Baby will keep the secret. That Mystery… fuck, man. I’m trying I swear.
This push and pull, these tiny wars, this blend of tenderness and cruelty, it’s the only intimacy they know. The only intimacy they offer. And you’re starting to get used to it. That’s a horrible thing, but there’s no point in denying it, babe.
You slam your door shut harder than you mean to. It rattles in the frame and you freeze for a second, waiting, half-afraid they’ll scold you again for it like when they used to when you were still questioned.
You breathe. In. Out. Again. Again. Chest heaving like you’ve just run a sprint when all you did was scratch Abby and walk away.
What is this feeling?
This… push and pull inside you. Your logic is loud. It tells you this is wrong. Everything about this. The unfairness, the manipulation, the way they pin you into corners with their hands and their words, the way they deny you the simplest freedoms and then act like they’re doing you favors when they toss crumbs of choice your way. They’re demons. They’re cruel. They’ll never play fair.
And you are angry about that. Anger makes sense.
But your heart? Your heart is not angry. Not capable of it, apparently.
Like, you remember Abby, huge and jacked and cocky Abby, sitting at the edge of your bed that one night when he came to apologize. The best he could. Clumsy, not even close to enough for what they did, but still. Words you never thought you’d hear from his mouth. And you’d sat there with him, knees almost touching, while he opened up just a little.
You’d felt something then. Something that should never have been allowed to bloom in you. Because all it took was that, a half-assed apology, a demon’s weak attempt at vulnerability, and suddenly you wanted to forgive him. To let it go. To erase the torture, the bruises, the ropes, the endless nights of being cornered, questioned, pressed too far. One conversation and you wanted to wipe the slate clean.
And that’s what drives you crazy. Not them. Not even their cruelty. But you. How quickly you fold at the barest flicker of softness from them.
You curl onto your bed now, knees tucked up, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling doesn’t talk back. It doesn’t tell you what this sickness is, this crawling, gnawing thing in your chest. It doesn’t explain why their attention—so wrong, so terrifying—sometimes feels like true love.
You know what this is.
But knowing doesn’t stop it.
It’s like there are two versions of you living in your body. One logical, furious. She remembers every hit, every scar, every time they reminded you that you’re not free. And then the other—the softer, pathetic one—she clings to the scraps. She keeps rerunning Abby’s apology in her head. She wonders if Romance flirts because he’s lonely. If Mystery’s silence is just his way of trying not to hurt you. If Jinu’s kindness is real, or if he’s simply better at faking. She wonders if Baby’s bratty cruelty is just a mask over something fragile underneath.
You press the heel of your hand to your forehead until it hurts, until the pressure makes spots dance in your vision. You wish you could squash that softer version of yourself. Kill her. But she keeps breathing. Keeps whispering. Keeps aching for them.
But they’re art. You catch yourself staring sometimes at Abby’s shoulders when he stretches, at the curve of Romance’s pretty mouth, at the way Mystery’s hair falls into his eyes, at Jinu’s throat when he swallows, at Baby’s sharp jawline when he’s lighting a cigarette.
You obsess, even when you hate yourself for it.
And maybe that’s why it feels good when you lash out at them—scratch, bite, snap—because for once, it’s you holding something that can hurt, even if only for a second.
They’ve ruined you.
And you hate it.
And you crave it.
What would Mira say if she saw you like this? She was always the first to notice when you weren’t okay, always the first to squeeze your hand under the table. She’d probably glare at you until you cracked, until you spilled the whole rotten story, then she’d tell you you were insane if you thought she’d ever let this slide. She’d fight for you. Rumi would wrap her arms around you, tell you how unfair all of this is, how you don’t deserve it. You can practically hear her voice shaking as she tells you to stop trying to understand them, stop letting them crawl into your veins. Zoey would understand you better than any of them. She wouldn’t look at you with pity. She wouldn’t cry. She’d listen. She’d nod. She’d get it. And maybe she’d say the words you’re too afraid to: you don’t just want freedom, you want them too.
God, you miss them. Miss them so much it makes your chest ache just thinking about it.
You tell yourself you can’t let this happen to you. Not all the way. Not yet. Maybe it’s already happening, maybe it’s too late, but you can’t just roll over and let it. You have to at least try to prove to yourself that there’s still a part of you that wants out. So the next morning, you didn’t come out until they left. And when they were gone, you approached the door. You used your maximum brain capacity, every ounce of patience, to just… look. To trace your eyes along the frame, the hinges, the screws. To test with the gentlest touch, the faintest wiggle, what might give way if you tried.
You loosened just a couple things.
And when you heard the elevator later, heard them coming home, you didn’t panic. You went to the sauna. Sat there until your skin felt like it was on fire, until your head was light and your lungs weak. Sat there long enough to cook the adrenaline out of your pores, to make sure they’d smell nothing but steam and heat if they tested the air around you.
You nearly died in there. But you came out looking flushed and lazy, and that was all that mattered.
Now it’s night.
You think they’re asleep. All of them. Probably sprawled in their messy beds. So you got dressed, and your feet are bare, and you’re moving slow. In the kitchen, quietly, you’re looking for a knife. Something precise, something that can fit into a screw head and twist. A replacement for the tools they took from you after the last time you tried.
You’re careful. You’re slow. You pick up one, test the tip with your finger, set it down. Another, too thick, won’t fit. Another, serrated, useless. Your breath is controlled too. You’re getting good at this. And finally, you find it. Not perfect, but workable.
You’re fine. You’re fine. You’re doing fine.
You kneel at the door. You’ve got the knife clenched in your hand, your wrist steady, your breath controlled. You’ve mapped this out, you’ve thought this through. You’ve been careful, quiet, patient. If anyone’s going to outsmart demons, it’s going to be you.
The first screw gives a little under your twisting. Just a faint shift. Enough to make your heart leap, enough to remind you that yes, you can do this.
You grin, or maybe it’s a grimace. Your lips twitch either way. “You’re a fucking god.” you whisper to yourself, so soft it’s just breath.
And then, the knife slips.
It’s fast, it’s stupid. You press too hard, angle too wrong, and the thin blade skates right off the head of the screw and into your arm.
Your forearm gets the hit.
“—fuck!” you hiss, jerking back.
At first, you think it’s just a scratch. Just a little sting, nothing to panic over. But then it wells up. A fat bead of blood slides down your skin, then another, then another, and suddenly it’s not a bead, it’s a stream.
It’s deep.
You drop the knife without meaning to. It clatters against the floor, too loud, way too loud, and you freeze. The sound bounces down the hall, echoes in your chest.
But worse than the sound is the sight, your blood, red, dripping onto the floorboards in lazy drops.
They’ll smell it. They’ll know.
You slap your hand over it, squeezing, trying to stop the flow, but it’s slick and hot and it hurts, god it hurts. Your chest tightens, your breath breaks into ragged little gulps. The calm, slow rhythm you trained yourself for shatters in an instant.
“Shit, shit, shit—”
You scramble, scooping the knife up, wiping the blood on your shirt, pressing your hand harder against your arm. It’s too much, too fast. Already your palm is soaked, your fingers sticky. Already the metallic tang is in the air.
They’ll smell it. They will.
You stumble back from the door, staring at the mess. Drops dotting the floor, a smear on the wood where you grabbed at yourself too late. No time to clean it properly, no way to make it invisible.
Your vision tunnels. The edges of the room go dark. Your whole body feels like it’s pulsing in time with the wound, every heartbeat forcing more out of you.
You try to breathe slow again, but your lungs are stuttering. The tight feeling is back, the one that means you’re about to cry, except now it’s worse, now it’s laced with raw animal fear. You have to sit down. You should move, but all you can do is sink into the floor, back against the wall.
You are prey.
You are bleeding prey in a house full of predators.
They’re already angry at you. God, they’re so angry at you.
Your mind races in jagged flashes. Do you run to the bathroom, rinse it, hide it? Too loud. Too risky. Do you crawl back to bed, pretend it never happened? You’d stain the sheets. They’d see. Do you—what, what, what?
Your hand trembles against your arm. Your legs feel too weak to stand.
They’re going to know.
The floor creaks.
Not yours.
Not your movement.
Your stomach drops so hard you almost throw up.
They’re awake.
Or at least, one of them is.
Your heart pounds so loud you’re sure it’ll give you away before anything else.
Its Jinu. Messy hair, shirt half-rumpled from bed, he was clearly asleep just minutes ago.
Your mouth opens before your brain can stop it. “Jinu.”
It isn’t just his name. Not the flat way you sometimes say it, not the annoyed version, not even the curious one. It’s need. Pure and stupid and childlike. Like when a little kid falls and they keep crying for their parent without thinking, because they want their parent from instinct. And to be honest, you meant it. You want Jinu. Right now, with your arm torn open and your pulse rattling in your ears, you want him.
His eyes snap to you, and the first thing you see is confusion. His gaze flicks to the knife, to the screws, to the blood dripping steady between your fingers. And then, fear.
“Y/N.” His voice is low, urgent, gentle. You’ve heard him cold. You’ve heard him calculated. You’ve heard him frustrated. You’ve heard him manipulative. But this, this is a voice that actually sounds like it cares.
You feel the adrenaline hit you all at once. Your chest seizes, your throat closes, your breathing turns jerky, shallow. You can’t seem to get enough air. You press your hand harder against your arm, as if pressure will solve everything.
“I—” Your voice cracks, small and shaky. “It—it slipped—”
He’s already crouching down, already reaching. Not rough, not demanding, just… present. His hands hover before touching you, like he’s making sure you’ll let him. “Let me see.”
You shake your head, instinctive. “No—”
“Yes.” He doesn’t snap it. Doesn’t bark. Just says it firm enough that you hear the wall of no-argument behind it. He takes the knife from you gently, prying your fingers loose one by one. He tosses it down the hall, far away. “I’m not gonna hurt you. I swear. Let me see.”
Your hand loosens, almost against your will. You feel the tacky drag of blood as he gently pries your fingers away. And then you see the wound. Deep, red. You want to throw up.
He inhales sharply. You think it’s disgust for half a second, until you see his wide eyes. “Oh… fuck. Okay. Okay.”
You’re shaking now, because the adrenaline’s peaked and you’re crashing hard. Your body can’t decide if it wants to fight, cry, or collapse.
He notices. Of course he does. He always notices.
“Breathe.” His voice is steady, low. “Look at me. Just me.”
And you do. You don’t know why, but you do. His face is tired, his jaw is tense, but his eyes are locked on yours.
You inhale ragged, try to steady it. He mirrors the rhythm, slower, exaggerating it, like he’s lending you his breath to copy.
Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale. Exhale.
It works. Not perfectly, you’re still trembling, your throat still feels tight, but it works enough that you’re not drowning.
“Good.” he murmurs, mostly to himself.
He pulls the hem of his shirt up and presses the fabric against your arm. The warmth of him seeps through immediately. He’s gentle, gentler than you thought he could be. Almost clumsy.
“Hold this here.” he says, guiding your hand to press the makeshift bandage. His fingers brush yours and you cling to the contact more than the cloth.
Your voice comes out small. “Am I—” You swallow. “Am I in trouble?”
It’s pathetic. You hate yourself for asking. But you ask anyway.
His eyes flick up to yours, startled for half a second. Then they soften. “No.”
You nod, a weak little movement, but your chest loosens a fraction.
He adjusts his crouch, shifting closer. His knee brushes your leg. “You scared yourself.” he says quietly. “That’s all this is. An accident.”
An accident.
You look down, ashamed. Blood seeps through the shirt against your arm, hot and sticky. You press harder.
He exhales, long and slow. “Y/N. Look at me again.”
You do. You can’t not.
“I don’t care about the door.” he says. “Or the knife. Or—” He stops himself, eyes narrowing just slightly. “Or what you were trying to do. I care about this.” He nods toward your arm. “You. Hurt.”
The words knock the air out of you.
You blink fast, throat stinging. Tears threaten, uninvited. You bite the inside of your cheek hard, but it doesn’t stop the wet blur gathering at the edges of your vision.
You want to argue. You want to tell him he’s lying, that he should care about the door, that they will care about the escape attempt. But the way he says it, the way he looks at you, short-circuits your brain.
You believe him. For now.
Your body leans toward him, just slightly, without permission. The urge is sudden and stupid, to bury your face in his chest, to let him hold you, to feel small and safe and protected.
You don’t. You can’t. But god, you want to.
And he knows. Somehow he knows, because his posture shifts, subtle, like he’s bracing for you to collapse against him. Like he’s already decided he’d catch you if you did.
Your voice is shaky, quiet. “Jinu… don’t—don’t tell the others.”
That earns you a pause. His brows pull together, the faintest crease between them. He doesn’t answer right away.
You hold your breath, waiting, begging silently.
Finally, he nods. Small. Reluctant. But a nod.
“Okay.” he says. “Not tonight.”
Not tonight.
Which isn’t never, but it’s enough for now.
He knows you’re terrified. He can smell it, taste it, practically feel it radiating off your skin. So he doesn’t rush you. “If you don’t want them to smell it, you’ll have to get up though.”
Right. Of course. Demons. Every drop of blood you’re leaking right now might as well be a dinner bell.
You look at the floor, then the door, then anywhere except at him, because panic is surging again and you don’t have the breath to say so.
But he says it calmer, softer, guiding: “Y/N, come on. Up. You’ll be worse if we wait.”
And you do. You let him help you stand, his hand firm at your elbow, his body close enough that if you stumbled, he’d catch you before you hit the ground. The walk down the hall feels endless, every sound loud suddenly, your footsteps dragging, your breath unsteady, the faint wet drip of blood against the wood. You pray the others don’t stir, don’t come out, don’t see.
When be opens his door, he says “Bathroom.” and leads you in there. From a drawer he pulls out a first-aid kit so pristine it looks unused. “Didn’t think I’d ever actually open this thing.” he admits.
The line is nothing, but it works. It distracts you for a heartbeat.
“Sit.” he says, pointing to the thick edge of the tub. You do.
Your arm feels like fire now that you’ve stopped moving. You watch him uncap a bottle of antiseptic, pour it onto gauze. He’s surprisingly good at this. The sharp smell of alcohol stings your nose.
“This will burn.” he says. Calm. Informative. Not sugarcoating. “You’ll hate me for the next thirty seconds.”
He isn’t lying.
The second he presses it to your arm, you jolt back, hiss through your teeth, a strangled sound tearing out of you.
“Fuck—stop, stop—” You try to pull away. Your shoulder slams into the tile wall.
Jinu’s hand is already there, catching your wrist, holding steady. Not tight, not brutal, but firm. “Y/N. I know. I know it hurts. It has to.”
Your chest heaves. Tears prick your eyes. “I can’t—”
“Yes, you can.” His voice sharpens just enough to cut through. “Stay with me.”
Another swipe of the gauze and you almost bite your tongue bloody to stop the scream clawing its way out.
“I hate you.” you gasp, breathless.
He huffs the barest laugh, humorless but gentle. “I know.”
The worst passes. The sting fades from unbearable to manageable, and your muscles sag, trembling from the effort of staying still. He swaps to saline next, flushing the wound with a careful pour. Clear liquid runs pink down your arm.
“You did good.” he says quietly. “Better than I expected.”
You want to snap at him, tell him you’re not a dog he gets to praise, but the words die in your throat. The tone is too soft. Too genuine.
He sets the saline down, digs in the kit again. When you see the sutures packet, your stomach flips.
“No.” Your voice is thin. “No stitches. No.”
His eyes flick up, steady. “It’s deep, Y/N. It won’t close without them.”
You shake your head, panic clawing up your throat. “No. Please. No.”
His jaw tics. For a second, he looks like he might argue. But instead he sighs, long and controlled, and nods. “Fine. But,” he adds, pulling out butterfly closures instead. “we’ll approximate it with these. They won’t hold as well. You’ll scar.”
You nod quickly, anything to avoid the needle.
And when the first butterfly strip pulls your skin together, the sharp tug of flesh against flesh makes you cry out. You try to twist away. Instinct. Survival. Pain. But Jinu doesn’t let you. In one swift motion, he steps in close, his arm sliding around your waist, his chest pressing flush against your back. He holds you, keeping you pinned gently against him. His breath brushes the side of your face.
“Stay. Please.” The word please sounds addictive.
Every part of you screams at the closeness, his chest against your back, his breath near your temple, the unyielding strength in his arms. It’s too much. Too intimate. But also… grounding. Solid. Like if you thrashed, he’d hold, but not hurt. Like restraint without cruelty.
You shove your face into his neck, tears smearing hot across his skin. A strangled, childish sound tears out of you, half-cry, half-whine. The pain sears sharp under every pull, and you can’t bite it back anymore. You cry into him. You whine into his skin, small, desperate noises muffled against him as he does that whatever the fuck, you don’t dare look.
Jinu wasn’t ready for this, for you to do this. But he doesn’t show it. His chin lowers, almost instinctive, brushing the crown of your head. His arm around you tightens, careful not to crush, but enough to tell you he’s here. That you’re not slipping away.
God, he likes it.
He likes that you called his name like that. He likes that you came willingly into his arms, even if it was pain that pushed you there. He likes the warmth of your breath against his skin, the tiny, raw sounds you make only for him.
Buried under that dark, selfish pull is something else, something he barely lets himself feel, worry. Genuine, bone-deep worry. The kind that makes his stomach twist, that whispers: What if the cut had been worse? What if I hadn’t heard you? What if you bled out on that floor before I woke up?
He can’t stand that thought.
So he holds you tighter. His cheek brushes your hair. “I know, I know.” he whispers into the air between you, words meant more for himself than you. “Almost done. Just a little more.”
You sob again, pressing harder into his neck, like you’re trying to crawl inside him to escape the pain. He feels it all, the wetness of your tears, the tremble of your body, the way your good hand grips his bicep, which you don’t even seem to notice, because your sobs vibrate against him, raw and unguarded, and it fucks him up in a way he didn’t expect. You’re not just scared. You’re hurting. And you chose him to see it. Something in him likes it, your weakness pressed so close, your trust laid bare.
And when the last closure sticks, when the wound is finally held together, he doesn’t let you go right away. His hands stay firm on your waist, his neck damp with your tears.
“It’s done.” he says finally, loosening his hold but not moving away just yet.
You don’t answer. You just sit there, chest heaving, cheek nearly brushing his shoulder, the ache in your arm dulled under the bandages.
For one insane second, you don’t want him to let go.
Jinu doesn’t move. His arms stay wound around you even after the wound is closed, even after your sobs start to stutter into weaker hiccups against his neck. But eventually, slowly, he forces himself to loosen his grip.
“Okay.” he whispers, more to himself than you. “Okay.”
He leans back, peeling himself away carefully. His hands skim your shoulders as if to keep you upright without caging you anymore.
He crouches down onto the cold tile, knees bending until he’s more in level with you.
Your face is blotchy, puffed from crying, lashes clumped wet. Strands of hair cling to your damp cheeks and temples. Your nose is red. Your lips tremble. Your arm twitches faintly at the fingers, a painful, involuntary spasm. You clutch your other hand into your shirt. You’re breathing too fast. Still in shock. You’re pale under the bathroom light, your eyes glassy and unfocused, your mouth open like you can’t quite catch enough air.
“I wasn’t—” You stop, then continue. “I wasn’t trying to stab myself, if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“I know.” His voice is quiet. “Doesn’t matter.”
You shake, shoulders heaving with each little sob. Your lips part like you’re trying to say something, but only wet sounds come out.
Jinu stares at you, chest aching. How is he supposed to deal with this? He’s good at silence, good at watching, good at pulling strings from shadows. But this? You, torn open in front of him, trusting him to hold the pieces…
It terrifies him.
“…Are you angry?” you murmur.
He blinks, startled. “What?”
“Are you mad at me?” The words fall out unfiltered, raw honesty spilling faster than you can contain it. “For—fuck—for being stupid, for—” You break on a hiccuping sob, “—for everything? For making a mess? For… making you deal with me?”
He shakes his head instantly. “No.”
“You should be—God, Jinu, you should be. I messed up, I—I keep—” You gasp for breath. “—keep breaking things, keep snooping, keep being mean to you, keep—” You almost choke on the last word. “—failing. I don’t know why you even—”
“Y/N.”
You look at him, trembling.
His eyes soften. “I’m not angry.”
You sniff. “…Why?”
He stares at you a beat too long. His lips part like he wants to say something, but nothing comes. He doesn’t have the words. Not for this. So instead he exhales slowly and stands. His knees pop from crouching too long. He brushes his palms against his thighs.
“Bed.” he says, voice firm. A command, but softened.
Your mouth opens, ready to argue, but the word sticks. You don’t have the strength to fight him. So you nod faintly.
He steps closer, offering a hand, and when you hesitate, he just places it against your back, guiding you up gently.
For once, he doesn’t have the luxury of thinking like a demon. There’s no instinct for this in his bloodline, no reflex for comfort or caretaking. There’s only him, and the terrible uncertainty of it all.
On the hall, Jinu matches your pace, every step measured, his hand never leaving yours.
But Abby’s leaning against the doorframe of his room, arms crossed over his chest. His eyes are narrowed, irritated. His gaze goes from you—tear-stained, leaning into Jinu—to your bandaged arm, and his jaw tightens.
Beside him, Mystery stands silently. His posture is the usual, leaning into the side a little, but his lips are left open a little.
Abby doesn’t move. Doesn’t speak. He just lifts his hands slowly, palms up, in a gesture that could mean a hundred things—what happened? where are you taking her? what the fuck did you do?
Jinu’s eyes flicker to him once. Just once. And then he looks forward again, walking away with you. No explanations. No excuses. No room for anyone else in this moment. He’s all about you.
Abby’s nostrils flare, a muscle ticking in his jaw. You can feel the weight of his stare burning into your back as you walk with Jinu, but Jinu doesn’t so much as glance again. It’s infuriating to Abby. He wants to argue, wants to demand answers, but he doesn’t. Not yet.
Mystery tilts his head, curious, but says nothing either. Just watches.
In your room, you’re sitting at the edge of your bed, still trembling slightly from everything, when Jinu crouches in front of you again, like he can’t trust leaving you upright until you’re settled.
You sniff hard, trying to claw back some dignity. “I need to wash my teeth. Before bed.”
Jinu tilts his head. “No. You don’t. You need sleep. Nothing else.” His voice is gentle but immovable. “Trust me, you don’t.”
There’s something strangely comforting in how absolute he sounds. No room for you to wrestle, no options that make you think more. Just a single direction, bed.
He pulls the sheets up around you with the sort of tenderness that feels alien on him, even clumsy. Like he’s never tucked anyone in before, but his hands figure it out anyway.
“I’ll let you rest.” he says, voice quiet. He hesitates by the side of your bed, his fingers flexing once at his thigh, as though debating whether to reach out and smooth the hair from your face. He doesn’t. But his eyes linger on you like the touch is there all the same.
“One last thing.” he adds, softer now. “Everything’s fine. Don’t worry.”
You want to believe him. You nod, your throat too tight to answer.
And with that, he slips from your room.
Meanwhile, Romance and Baby are standing over the knife.
The smell of blood had woken them all. At first, it had stirred something feral, nostrils flaring, hunger, the old itch for violence and heat. But now, staring at the actual mess by the front door, the knife lying abandoned, the streak of red against the frame, the faint handprint on the wall, that hunger has been replaced with something much… dreadful, if that’s the right word.
Romance’s expression is… sassy. There’s no better word for it. He even makes a little tsk under his breath, shaking his head slowly. “Somebody’s been busy.”
Baby snorts, leaning one shoulder against the wall, his arms crossed. “Busy being an idiot.” he mutters. His eyes stay locked on the blood smeared near the door, jaw clenching tight.
They both know there’s no prying you from Jinu’s hands tonight. You’d called his name. You’d gone with him. You’d stayed in his room. The realization doesn’t make them jealous, not exactly. It makes them restless. Because if you’re bleeding, and you’re hurt, and you’re not with them, then where does that leave them?
Jinu closes your door softly behind him. Abby’s already there, broad body taking up a lot of the hallway. His arms are folded, his face obviously angry, the irritation from earlier still on him.
“What happened?”
Jinu shakes his head before the second word has even left Abby’s mouth. Quick. Decisive. He doesn’t slow, doesn’t explain, doesn’t even glance up. Just brushes past the bigger boy like he doesn’t exist, not even caring that half of his shirt is still covered in your blood.
Abby’s jaw tightens. His fingers flex like he wants to grab Jinu, drag the truth out of him. But he doesn’t.
Jinu disappears down the hall, the door to his room shutting behind him with a quiet click.
Silence.
Abby exhales through his nose, a frustrated sound. He rakes a hand over his hair. He hates being kept out, hates being shoved to the sidelines when it comes to you. He doesn’t even know what’s happening to you.
Fine.
Mystery walks up beside him. His hand rests casually against the front of his pants, fingers hooked in his waistband, thumb dragging slow. Y’know that hot posture he has in the movie too.
Together, they walk to the front door.
Romance and Baby are still there, standing over the scene. The knife glints dully under the hallway light. The smear on the frame has already begun to dry, dark and tacky. The scent is all around them, stubborn, refusing to fade. The four of them stand in silence, forming a loose circle around the blood. It’s actually kind of hilarious when you see it from the outside.
Romance lets out a little huff of breath, almost a laugh. “You boys smell that?” he says lightly. “How clumsy.”
Baby shifts his weight. “It’s not funny.”
Romance hums, tilting his head, but doesn’t argue.
Abby crouches, lowering his big frame to get a closer look. His nostrils flare as he inhales, face grim. His hands hover just above the bloodstain like he wants to touch it, but he doesn’t.
Baby, on the other hand, crosses his arms, leans his weight into one hip, and lets his mouth curve into something uglier. His eyes flick from the knife to the droplets that trail toward Jinu’s room, and then back again. He clicks his tongue and glances away, irritation prickling.
Mystery’s trying to map how it could’ve happened, but he knows he won’t fully know the truth until you or Jinu tell him. He leaves it to be, watching the others now.
All of them woke up the same way, pulled from sleep by the metallic tang of blood. It hit them like a drug, sent a shiver down their spines, even got them a little hard. It’s instinct. But then their minds caught up. Then they realized. It was your blood.
And they don’t know what the fuck happened.
They hate that. They hate not knowing. And they hate that Jinu does. They hate standing there like idiots while Jinu holds all the cards. While you’re behind your closed door, tucked into bed, and they’re out here with nothing but the scraps.
This isn’t the first time you’ve tried something desperate, let’s be fucking fr. You’ve been clever enough to make it entertaining, bold enough to make it infuriating. But none of those left the hallway painted with your blood. None of those had Jinu shutting them out like a slammed door.
It’s not just the failed attempt. It’s the evidence. The proof that you got hurt enough that even their sharpened senses spike with unease.
The smell itself is maddening. It should thrill them. And it does, in the rawest, ugliest way, your blood is uniquely yours, sweeter than anything they’ve tasted before. Just one inhalation is enough to thrum through their veins, a burn in the pit of their stomachs. Romance even chuckles under his breath at how easily aroused he is by it, leaning a little closer as though he’s flirting with the stain itself.
But it’s not right. Because you’re hurt. And the fact that the thing twisting them up inside is both lust and worry makes them feel filthy.
It would be easier if they could just be violent. Rip the truth from Jinu’s hands, force him to cough up what happened, throw him against a wall until he broke. That’s their way. Their instinct. But they’ve learned the hard way that it doesn’t work with Jinu. None of them want to risk turning tonight into that. Not with you involved.
So they’re left with the one thing they despise, waiting.
“So…” Abby murmurs. “Who’s cleaning it up?”
The question hangs for less than a second. Then Romance vanishes, teleporting so fast the air snaps behind him. Baby’s gone the very next heartbeat, leaving the faintest echo of a scoff behind him.
Mystery hasn’t moved, his hand resting at his waistband.
Abby watches him for a moment, then steps closer, his heavy palm landing against Mystery’s back. A rough pat.
“You’ve got it.” Abby mutters.
And then he’s gone too, his steps echoing back down the hall, fading into his room.
Which leaves Mystery.
He pushes off the wall finally, exhaling through his nose. His gaze drops to the blood again, to the knife lying abandoned on the floor. He crouches slowly, stretching out his long legs, his hand lazily picking up the blade. He twirls it once in his fingers, studying the smear of red against the steel.
“Messy girl.” he murmurs under his breath.
He sets the knife aside carefully and actually starts cleaning it up. Respect tbh.
That night, when finally all five of them went to bed, Gwi-ma whispered to them. Need her. Break her. Devour her. She’s yours. You’re hers. She’s hurt. You’re hurt. Don’t let him have her. Don’t let her go. Over and over.
They hate him for it, but he’s not exactly wrong. His words feed the beast in them, the one they keep on chains only for your sake. That chain feels thinner every night.
Meanwhile, you… you actually slept. Derpy padded into your bed somewhere in the night, curling up against your side. Even Sussie was around. You slept good. Too good. You didn’t hear them moving, didn’t sense their unrest.
But they were awake.
They’re predators. That’s the simple truth of it. Predators dressed in human skin. They always know where you are. Even if you tried to hide, they could close their eyes and point to you with animal accuracy. Your heartbeat is always in their ears, your scent mapping the apartment for them without fail. When you’re gone too long, their shoulders tense. When you step into the kitchen, they know before you open the fridge. They don’t need to look to track you, they’re wired for it.
They don’t lose prey.
And you are, to them, prey.
But not just prey. Something else. Something caught in the impossible space between prey and mate, between object of hunger and object of worship. That’s why it’s unbearable, the mix of it. The push-pull. The fact that every day with you is a tightrope walk over their own instincts.
Mystery feels it when you walk past his door, the scrape of your bare feet like thunder in his chest. Abby feels it when you roll your shoulders in the kitchen, the crack of bone and tendon calling to him like music. Romance feels it when your shampoo lingers in the air, when your hair brushes your cheek, so small and subtle that it drives him insane. Baby feels it when you laugh at something, or when you don’t laugh at all, when he can hear that sound way too food. Jinu feels it most of all when you breathe near him.
They are animals, and animals don’t ignore scent, sound, blood. You can’t turn that off. You can’t change their wiring. They always know where you are. Always. Even if you slipped out the front door, even if you outran them, even if you cut the world between you with oceans and walls, they would find you.
And yet here you are, asleep in bed with Derpy and Sussie, oblivious to the feelings outside your door. Oblivious to the five sets of eyes burning in the dark.
And the smell lingers. The blood is gone from the floor, wiped clean by Mystery’s hands(and maybe a finger he licked clean), but the air still holds the ghost of it. They breathe it in even as they try not to, even as they roll onto their backs, onto their stomachs, digging claws into sheets, biting down on their tongues.
They should be there with you. They should have been the ones to carry you. To press your wound. To hear your sobs. To feel your face pressed into their necks.
Instead, Jinu took it.
The next morning the sun is warm on your cheek, warm against the side of your body where Derpy has wedged himself, his weight pressing you into the mattress. Your breath is slow, soft. You don’t notice that the tiger’s thick paw is stretched protectively across your hip, claws sheathed, fur tickling your shirt. You don’t notice that your arm—the injured one—is propped carefully atop a pillow.
Jinu did that.
He’s sitting on the edge of your bed, chin in hand, eyes locked on you. It’s not often he lets himself just… look. He’s always glancing, checking, skimming, but not like this. His gaze traces your features. Puffy eyes, lashes clumped from dried tears, the little twitch of your lip when you exhale. Fragile. So fragile.
Should he wake you?
He doesn’t want to. God, he doesn’t want to. He wants to let you stay like this forever, wants to guard you from the world until your cut is healed, until the fear is drained from your body, until you can breathe without that little hitch of pain.
Reality is ugly, and Gwi-Ma’s leash is tight. If they’re late, if they dare skip anything about the plan again, there will be hell to pay. Last time they stayed behind for you, when you had a cold, the old fucker ripped them apart in their minds. Mystery paced so long that Romance had to tie him to the radiator.
They can’t risk that again.
And yet, Jinu looks at you, curled into Derpy, your breath fogging the tiger’s fur, and the thought of shaking you awake feels like cruelty. Will you fall back asleep? What if you don’t? What if the moment he leaves, you get scared? What if he breaks this rare peace by nudging your shoulder, by calling your name?
Still. He has to.
He sighs, the sound soft, pained. His fingers hover above your shoulder before they finally land, gentle as moth wings. “Y/N.” he says, low, careful, as though he’s not waking you but inviting you back.
You stir. Not violently—thank god—but with a slow twitch of your lips, a blink of lashes, a groggy roll of your head toward him. Your voice is rasped from sleep when you whisper, “…Jinu?”
Something about hearing his name from your lips like that, sleepy, trusting, lodges in his chest. He swallows, masking it. “Morning. We’re heading out soon.”
You rub your eyes with your good hand, sluggish, clumsy, and look at him properly. For a heartbeat, he sees the childlike version of you, soft and unguarded. It’s disarming. Beautiful.
“Your arm—you’ll need to keep it clean. Just leave it. Don’t move it too much. If the bandage loosens, replace it with the kit I left in your drawer. And…” His gaze flickers to your lips, then away. “Watch out for yourself, alright?”
Your throat tightens at the way he says it. Like he’s begging.
“Y/N.” a voice coos.
You both turn.
Romance is leaning on your doorway.
“Oh, love.” he croons, sweeping in with the grace of a man who’s been planning this entrance. “Look at you, all tucked in with your knight.”
Before Jinu can react, Romance is on his knees at your bedside, pushing at Jinu’s legs. “Scoot, lover boy. You had your shift.”
But Romance doesn’t look at Jinu again. Not once. His whole focus is on you.
“God, you’re a vision.” he says. His hand flutters to his chest as though your puffy-eyed, bedheaded self is enough to knock the wind out of him. “Even like this. Especially like this.”
You freeze, caught between irritation and embarrassment. Your hair is a mess. Your bandage feels clumsy and ugly. Your face is swollen from crying. What the fuck is wrong with him?
But he’s so earnest about it, like he actually means it. Like the sight of you this fucked up is still art to him.
You open your mouth, but Romance is faster. He leans forward on his knees, both hands gripping the edge of your blanket, eyes wide, syrupy. “You scared us last night, you know that? Nearly stopped my heart, sweetheart. What would we do without you? What would I do?”
His voice cracks on purpose. A dramatization, sure, but also just enough truth underneath to make it sting.
You glance at Jinu for help, but Jinu is pinching his nose bridge, eyes closed.
Romance’s hand dares to brush the blanket near your injured arm, not touching skin, but close enough that Jinu shifts.
“Shhh, baby.” Romance coos, fingers ghosting along the blanket like he’s petting feathers. “Close your eyes again. Don’t let us keep you.” His voice dips into a whisper so syrupy it should rot teeth. “Rest. You deserve it.”
Your lashes flutter, torn between suspicion and the exhaustion still pulling you down. But his tone is lulling, strangely gentle. He brushes a lock of hair from your forehead, sighs and them he leans over kisses your forehead a little.
Jinu doesn’t move. Doesn’t speak. His jaw ticks once, then stills.
Romance straightens with a satisfied little hum, as though tucking you back into a dream. “That’s it.” he whispers. “Dream sweet.”
And before you can fully process what just happened, he’s rising gracefully to his feet, snagging Jinu by the sleeve, dragging him out the door.
The second the latch clicks shut behind them, Jinu rips his arm free. “Don’t—”
“Don’t what, tiger cub? Don’t tuck her in? Don’t let her rest?” Romance, the minute you can’t see it, is back to being a selfish asshole. “You looked like you needed the break.”
Jinu exhales hard through his nose. He wants to argue, but the truth is written in the ache of his shoulders, in the exhaustion gnawing at the corners of his eyes. He did need the break. He just hates that Romance knows it.
Romance claps a hand on his shoulder. “Relax. She’s sleeping. No one’s stealing her from you in five minutes.”
And then, right on cue, Abby rounds the corner first, hair messy, still shirtless, irritated. He’s already scowling when his eyes dart to your door. “What’s up?”
Baby and Mystery are also there.
All three of them want in.
Romance spreads his arms, smile wide, cocky. “Gentlemen. Don’t bother. Sleeping beauty needs her rest.”
Abby growls. “Move.”
“No.” Jinu’s voice is flat, solid, immovable. He doesn’t raise it, he doesn’t need to.
Abby’s chest rises, falls. Mystery’s eyes narrow, shifting between the two blockers. Baby crosses his arms, silent but seething, the weight of his glare like a blade pressed to skin.
“Step aside.” Abby repeats, voice lower, more dangerous.
Romance chuckles like this is a game, like he’s delighted by the confrontation. “And what? Let you stomp in there, wake her up, scare the poor thing half to death with your scowl? Not a chance, big guy. She’s sleeping.“
Abby steps forward, looming. His size eclipses Romance, makes Jinu look smaller by comparison. But Jinu doesn’t flinch. He shifts slightly, blocking the door more deliberately, a wall of quiet defiance.
“You’re wasting time.” Baby murmurs.
Romance hums, almost singsong. “We’ve got all the time in the world, baby boy.”
Abby snarls under his breath, storming off down the hall, frustration radiating off him. Baby follows slower, stiff. Mystery lingers a moment longer, eyes slitting at Jinu, at Romance, at the door, hungry, calculating, before he finally walks away, silent.
The hall quiets again, leaving only Romance and Jinu.
Romance stretches his arms overhead, sighing theatrically. “Well. That was fun.”
Jinu doesn’t respond. He leans against the wall beside your door, rubbing his face, bone-deep tired.
Romance watches him. “You’re welcome, by the way. If it were just you, they’d have ripped that door off its hinges. But me? I’m charming.”
“You’re unbearable.”
Normally, this would devolve into snarling, maybe even a fist through the wall, or Abby pinning Mystery against a wall until Baby calmly pulls them apart. Because the truth is, none of them mind throwing punches at each other if it means getting what they want.
But that was a lot of blood you left there. They don’t want to scare you now.
Eventually, they leave. It takes longer than it should, longer than any of them would admit out loud. Petty. Angry. Crazy, really. But for them, that’s normal. They’ve all been through worse than this. Traumas that make this kind of behavior—snapping, snarling, throwing elbows—almost look healthy. If they were human, you’d call them dysfunctional. As demons? It’s almost… expected.
You wake around midday. Your arm is the first thing you notice, a throb so deep it feels like your entire body’s pulsing with it.
You roll onto your back and lift it to look.
Jinu was surprisingly good at what he did. The bandage is already blotched with spots of red, dark and dried at the edges, fresher closer to the center. The pain is fucking with your nerves every time you so much as flex your fingers. And god, the memory of last night…
The knife slipping. The slice. The blood.
Your stomach flips just thinking about it.
Realistically? You know it’s not something you can shrug off. It’s deep. Not enough to kill you—not unless you somehow ignored it for days—but deep enough that if Jinu hadn’t stopped the bleeding, you could’ve done real damage. Arteries are the fear, right? You don’t think you hit one, otherwise you wouldn’t be here now, but veins bleed plenty. And cuts like that take forever to heal. They throb, they pull open with the wrong movement, they scar ugly if you don’t take care of them. Butterfly closures will keep it together, but they’re fragile. One wrong move, one wrong bend of your wrist or forearm, and it could rip again. You know Jinu told you not to stress it, but… yeah. You’ll have to be careful. Maybe for weeks.
You lower your arm back down onto the blanket, sucking in a breath through your teeth.
Replaying last night feels like it was a dream to be honest. The adrenaline. The panic. The shame. That animal urge to run, to claw your way out, only for it to end with you bleeding all over the damn floor. And then Jinu. The way his name fell out of your mouth. The way his arms felt around you, pinning you against him. The way you cried into his neck, of all things.
You’re not sure what’s worse, the memory of the pain or the memory of your vulnerability. Because it wasn’t just physical pain, was it? It was all of it, the tension from Abby grabbing you, the teasing, the suffocation of all of them cornering you with their jokes, the flashbacks of torture you’d endured before. That stomach-tightening dread of being powerless. And then the knife. Blood.
You rub your free hand down your face, muffling a groan. Because last night cracked something in you. Shoved open a door you’ve been trying to keep locked. A door that says maybe you want them near, maybe you want them close, even though your head knows better. Even though logic screams at you that they’re demons, unfair, evil.
But your heart… oh, your heart. Your heart remembers Jinu’s hands, careful on your skin. His voice. Romance kneeling by your bed, kissing your forehead. Even Abby’s stupid big hand letting go when you clawed at him, like he remembered you were human and breakable.
All of it swirls together until you’re left with this, this ache, not just in your arm but in your chest. This push and pull that drives you mad.
What the hell are you doing here, Y/N?
You don’t do much through the day—can’t do much, really—but you always like having the place for yourself during the day.
You test your hand, flexing your fingers. They twitch fine, a little stiff, a little shaky, but they work. That’s good. You angle your wrist and forearm, checking how much movement makes the cut scream. You find out quick. Okay. Don’t do that. You cradle it after. The bandage is already bothering you, itching and tight. But you know better than to mess with it too soon. Jinu would kill you if you did.
You drink water. You eat something small, careful with your left hand clumsily fumbling at utensils. (AN: If you’re left handed then ignore this) You wander from your bed to the couch, then to the kitchen, then back again, like pacing but slower, weaker.
You rinse the dishes from last night, your challenge being that you have to do it with one arm, also wiping the counters until they shine. The rhythm of cleaning soothes you, it always does. You like when the kitchen looks nice, organized. Doing it with one hand only was fun, actually.
You linger there longer than you should, fingers tapping against the edge of the sink, staring at the cupboards. Thinking. Thinking about your boys. You hate yourself a little for calling them that in your head, but the word fits.
Abby… huge and ridiculous, sneaking up behind you. You can still feel the weight of his hand on your arm, the sharp flare of panic when you scratched him. The memory makes you shudder, but also… not entirely with fear. He’s scary, yes. He’s hot, too. Stupidly so. The way he could snap you in half but sometimes chooses not to. You hate how much that thrills you. You remember how he fed you with Romance when you were cuffed to the fucking fridge. Then, it was unbearably annoying. Now, it’s almost fun to think back to it.
Now that we mentioned Romance, you actually liked the way he dropped to his knees by your bed, cooing you back to sleep, forehead kiss and all. He’s infuriating, fake in a way, and yet you can’t get rid of that fun he brings with himself.
Mystery. God, Mystery. He didn’t say much last night, does he ever, but he was there and that’s what matters. Or just the smell of your blood drew him out, anyways, he was there. But sometimes he’s also at the foot of your bed, sleeping with you. You don’t think he does that for your blood, nuh-uh.
Baby. The panties under his pillow flash in your memory and you want to laugh, except you don’t. It’s creepy. It’s so creepy. But something about the audacity of it, telling on the others but being just as bad as them is somehow thrilling to you. And fuck, you can’t deny it anymore, it’s so hot that he’s such an asshole!!
And Jinu. Oh, Jinu. Manipulative, selfish fucker, but you’ve curled into his tiger when he wakes you, you whisper his name when you’re bleeding, you sob into his neck when you’re in too much pain. Why did you want him then? Were you just in need of someone? Doesn’t matter what’s the truth, you still wanted him and can’t change that. Do you want to change that?
You think and think until the thoughts twist into knots in your stomach. Because it’s wrong, isn’t it? All of it. This fuckass connection you have with them. They still scare you. They push you around, play with you. You’re angry, you’re terrified, you know it’s unfair. Logically, you should want nothing but escape.
And yet.
And yet your heart doesn’t feel the same as your head.
You want to hate them cleanly, but you can’t. They’re too present, too beautiful, too much a part of your world now. Even their demon marks, the terrifying flashes of their real forms, they’re still pretty. Too pretty.
How crazy are you, Y/N?
At one point, you sink onto the couch with Derpy, scratching behind his ears until he flops into your lap, purring like he doesn’t care that you almost bled out on the floor last night. Sussie is just watching you, but that means a lot more than someone would think. You stay there, half-dozing, half-thinking, tracing the edge of your bandage with your fingers, feeling the pull and throb of it. Every twitch reminds you how close last night came to something worse.
Let’s talk about this, Gwi-Ma waits. He watches. He knows exactly when to come for someone. He waits until you’re crawling through your own failures and grief. That’s when he strikes. That’s how he got them. Romance. Abby. Baby. Mystery. Jinu. Each of them caught at the worst moments of their lives, each promised something they were desperate enough to believe in. Power. Protection. Meaning. Love.
So why not you? Why doesn’t Gwi-Ma come to you when you’re vulnerable, when your eyes sting with tears, when your arm throbs with pain and you feel small and human and weak?
Because he doesn’t need to.
Because your fragility gives him far more leverage than breaking you ever could.
You are not his target, you are his weapon.
He doesn’t have to whisper in your ear, doesn’t have to drag you down into his pit, because the boys are already tethered to him. You’re their attachment, their distraction, their girl. He doesn’t need to taint you directly, he only has to dangle your life above their heads like bait, and suddenly he owns them twice over.
The girls mentioned his name to you in passing, maybe even warned you. But your mind never clicked it together. Your brain refused to stitch that name to the five demons who you live with now. You’re too busy surviving them to connect the dots about who holds their leash. So you go on thinking your prison ends at these four walls. You don’t realize it’s bigger, deeper. That somewhere beyond your sight there’s a pretty fire(love the colors alright?) smirking every time you fold against one of the boys’ chests instead of running from them. That Gwi-Ma isn’t just letting this happen, he’s counting on it.
He’s patient.
You fell asleep eventually. The cut on your arm pulled with every shift of your body, every little movement, but you were learning to live with it the same way you’d learned to live with everything else here. You curled up on your side, pulled the blanket over yourself, and let your eyelids drag shut.
Just a nap.
Derpy padded into your room somewhere in the middle of it. He always knew when to leave you alone, and when to tuck himself against you. His fur brushed your legs as he climbed up onto the bed, careful—like, genuinely careful—not to jostle your arm. Animals know. His wide eyes blinked up at you, bright and clueless, but he knew something was up. Sussie curled into your neck while you slepy. Properly slept. Not twitching half-awake in paranoia, not listening for footsteps.
When you woke up again, hours had slipped by. You’d read a little, distracted yourself, touching Derpy’s fur, organizing a drawer, scrolling your mind through memories of Mira, Rumi, Zoey. You told yourself you could handle this.
But now you’re half-asleep again in your bed, post-nap grogginess, when your door slams open without warning.
You jolt upright, heartbeat spiking, and Abby walks in.
You didn’t even hear them come home.
“What’s up, babe? Didn’t even say hi.” he says, voice is too loud for your pretty room.
Before you can answer, he’s dropping his heavy frame right onto the edge of your bed. The mattress dips under his weight, tilting you a little toward him. He’s close. He’s always close.
“C’mon, lemme see.”
You hesitate, sitting there with the blanket clutched at your side, lips pressed tight. You’re barely aware of what’s happening, that’s how tired you are. But Abby doesn’t look away. He’s waiting.
So slowly, stiffly, you pull your arm free and unwrap the half-ass bandaging you’d re-done.
It’s ugly. It hurts like hell.
Abby whistles. “Damn.” he mutters, leaning in closer, elbows on his knees as he inspects it. “Looking good, babe.”
You blink at him. You probably have a lazy eye right now.
“Bet it stung like a bitch.” He shifts, one hand lifting as if he’s tempted to touch, then thinking better of it. “What happened anyway? Hm?”
Your voice comes out hoarse, sleepy. “Knife slipped. Wasn’t on purpose.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
You keep your words short because if you don’t, you’ll spill. Because deep down, the cut isn’t “just it.” It’s not a funny accident you can brush off with a shrug. It was panic and desperation and adrenaline burning through your veins, and for one wild second, you really thought you might have nicked something bad enough to bleed out right there.
Abby doesn’t need to know that. He studies you for a long moment. His hand lifts again, hovering near your arm, then pulls back.
“…Hurts, yeah?” he asks finally.
You nod once. That’s all you give him before you start carefully wrapping it back. It’s not that good. You’ll ask one of them later to do it for you, until that this is fine, loose but fine.
For a second, he looks like he might say something real. Something heavy. But then he shakes it off, forcing the grin back onto his face, leaning closer until his broad shoulder nearly brushes yours. “Tough girl.”
You could’ve died last night. And it scares him more than he’ll ever say out loud. So, to deal with that horrible feeling, he climbs fully onto your bed. One knee first, then the other, his large frame easing back until he’s sitting next to you against the headboard. The wood creaks under the combined weight, but he doesn’t care.
“You’re huge.” you mutter, side-eyeing him.
Abby grins, smug, flexing his chest. “Damn right I am.” He settles in, his thigh warm and heavy where it presses into yours.
The two of you sit in the quiet of your room, leaning against the headboard. It’s strange, half tense, half comforting. He just breathes beside you, every so often he glances at your arm, then back to your face, then away again like he’s checking you’re still breathing.
“You gonna be okay?” he asks eventually, quieter than before.
“…Yeah.”
Before you can figure out if you should say something else, there’s a knock. It’s almost polite—gentler than Abby’s entrance, at least—but before you can answer, the door creaks open. Mystery leans halfway in.
He just lifts a hand and gives you a wave.
You wave back, small, awkward.
Abby raises his arm and waves too. A lazy, one-handed lift, like he couldn’t care less but still did it anyway. It’s actually such a sweet picture if you think about it.
Mystery steps inside, closing the door behind him. He just stands there, eyes shifting between the two of you(though you can’t see that), waiting.
Finally, you clear your throat. “Do you… want to sit?”
Without a word, Mystery crosses the room. He slides onto the bed on your other side.
Abby smirks at the situation immediately, leaning closer with a grin. “Well, look at that. You’re popular today.”
Mystery doesn’t speak, but he doesn’t need to. His silence says plenty, he wants to be here.
Abby, of course, breaks the quiet again. “Gonna need a bigger mattress, babe.”
You shoot him a look, but it doesn’t faze him. Nothing does.
Between them, you feel impossibly small. Not just physically—though that’s true enough, squeezed between Abby’s bulk and Mystery’s height—but in the sheer gravity they bring. Demons on either side, crowding your space. But you don’t tell either of them to leave.
“I cut myself last night.” you turn to Mystery. “Accidentally. That’s what happened.”
Abby looks at you without moving his head, but he doesn’t interrupt.
You take a look at Mystery. He’s watching you. “With the… with the knife. At the door. It was bad. I thought it was just a scratch but, it wasn’t.”
Mystery tilts his head, his gaze lowering briefly to your arm, then back up. “Nice.”
Your smile a little. “Thanks.”
On your right, Abby snorts. He turns his head, pulling at something, and with exaggerated annoyance, he spits a strand of hair from his mouth. “Christ. Your hair’s everywhere.” He picks at another strand stuck to his lip and holds it up between his fingers like evidence.
You blink. “…Sorry?”
He shrugs, smiling. “I don’t mind. Kind of like it. Means you’re around.” He flicks the strand away, then adds, “Baby complains all the time, though. Says he finds it in the sink, on the couch, even on his clothes.”
That makes you pause. Baby? Complaining? You’ve never heard it.
Abby must see the confusion on your face because the handsome smile turns into a smirk, rolling his shoulders like it’s no big deal. “Yeah, you didn’t know, huh? That’s ‘cause he doesn’t say it where you can hear. Acts tough, but he’s careful not to dump shit like that on you. Not like me.” He leans in closer. “I’ll tell you everything. Always.”
You shift, unsure whether to roll your eyes or thank him. It’s hard to tell when Abby’s being honest or when he’s just posturing for your attention. Probably both.
But outside your room, just beyond the wood of your door, Baby stands. Eavesdropping. He isn’t pressing his ear to the door like in movies, he doesn’t have to. His senses are sharp enough that every word spoken inside comes through clearly. His posture is ass like usual, clearly paying attention with his ears, but his eyes turn yellow for a second when he sees someone coming.
Jinu.
Their eyes lock.
Baby doesn’t move. He doesn’t have to. His eyes narrow, the message is clear in every line of his body: If you breathe a word about me standing here, I’ll kill you.
Jinu freezes, blinking once. His gaze flicks away, like he never saw Baby at all. He walks to your door, and pushes it open.
You glance up immediately. Abby leans back slightly, eyes narrowing with faint irritation, while Mystery doesn’t move at all, only watching.
Jinu steps inside, his gaze going straight to you, scanning quickly over your puffy face, the tired slump of your shoulders, the careful position of your bandaged arm. He looks relieved that you’re still upright, still breathing, but his eyes flick once toward the other two boys, wary, then back to you. “How are you feeling?”
You swallow. It’s a simple question, you open your mouth to answer, but Abby speaks first.
“She’s fine. Told me all about last night. We’re bonding.”
Jinu’s brow furrows, his lips pressing tight, but he doesn’t rise to the bait. Instead, he looks back at you, softer, waiting for your answer.
“I’m… tired. Still hurts.” You glance down at your arm. “But better.”
Jinu exhales slowly, relief flickering over his face. He nods, stepping closer, but Abby stretches his leg out, blocking the path to your side of the bed with an infuriating smirk.
Jinu pauses. He’s gonna bash this motherfucker’s head.
Mystery tilts his head, watching the silent tug-of-war play out, then flicks his gaze toward you again.
Abby puts his arm around your shoulders, heavy and warm and big, pinning you comfortably against him. The way he leans into you makes your shoulder ache a little under the weight, but you don’t shrug him off. Not yet. Your energy is too low, and maybe—if you’re honest—you don’t want to. Not right now.
Jinu notices, though. He notices everything. His eyes narrow slightly at Abby’s grip, but he doesn’t comment. Instead, he sits carefully in front of you on the bed, not caring about Abby’s leg, moving slowly like he’s approaching a wild animal. He doesn’t reach for you right away, his gaze drops to your arm, where the layers of gauze are already showing faint spots of red where blood seeped through.
“Can I?” he asks softly, and when you nod, he leans in. His hands are steady as he begins to peel the edge of the bandage back, revealing the wound beneath.
You wince immediately. The air feels bad against the cut, and you instinctively curl a little into Abby’s side, who gives a low, amused chuckle.
“Scared of your own arm?” Abby teases, his thumb brushing idly over your shoulder.
You don’t answer. You’re too busy staring at the angry, raw gash Jinu just uncovered.
It’s bad.
Last night, you didn’t have the clarity to really look. Everything blurred together between adrenaline, panic, and Jinu’s careful, hushed reassurances. But now, the cut looks deeper than you remember. The edges are swollen, the skin around them irritated and flushed. Dried blood crusts along your forearm, staining the skin a mottled brown-red. The wound itself has stopped actively bleeding, thank god, but the gauze shows it still oozes faintly. Not a nick. Not a scratch. A deep, serious slice that probably needed stitches but you were so against it Jinu didn’t have the heart to force it on you.
Jinu inhales slowly through his nose, his lips pressing into a tight line. “It’s holding.” he says, mostly to himself. “But it’s deep. I should’ve… I should’ve stitched it.”
Your stomach lurches at the word, and Jinu glances up immediately, catching your expression. His voice softens. “It’s okay. The closures are keeping it together for now. We’ll just need to clean it again, replace the bandages. Keep pressure on it.”
Abby leans in to see it. Mystery, who’s been unnervingly quiet this whole time, leans in a little too, taking a look at whatever’s going on with your arm.
You glance between the two of them—Abby grinning, Mystery steady—and you feel a sudden, sharp disconnect. Why aren’t they bothered? Why aren’t they even a little horrified?
Where your stomach churns at the sight of your own skin split open, where your chest feels tight at the thought of blood leaking from you, they’re… relaxed. Comfortable. Like this is nothing.
“Doesn’t freak you out?” you ask quietly, surprising yourself with the words.
Abby just snorts. “What, a little blood? Nah. Seen worse. Way worse.”
Mystery gives a single nod, his eyes flicking back to your face. “Much worse.”
You stare at them, unsettled. They say it so casually. Worse. How much worse could there possibly be? You don’t want to know, you decide. You don’t even want to imagine.
Jinu clears his throat softly, pulling your focus back to him. He stands up, leaves you to Abby and Mystery while he looks into the drawer he mentioned he left the things for you in. He finds it, and comes back to you on the bed. His hands are gentle as he starts winding fresh gauze around your arm, careful not to tug too tightly. “Ignore them.” he says quietly, almost in a whisper meant just for you. “You’re hurt. That’s what matters.”
But Abby just leans in closer, smiling. “She’s fine, Loverboy. Aren’t you, Y/N?”
You don’t answer right away. You’re too busy looking at the fresh white layers wrapping your arm, at the way Jinu’s fingers move with a precision that makes your chest ache.
Fine. The word feels too small. Too empty.
“Don’t let it close dirty.” Mystery murmurs.
“Yeah, thanks, doc.” Abby mutters, rolling his eyes.
Still, the casualness of both their tones makes you want to scream. You want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them and say This is my arm, my blood, my pain. Don’t just smile at it.
But the words die in your throat. You’re too tired. Too raw.
Jinu finishes tying off the fresh bandage and sits back, exhaling softly. He studies your face for a long moment.
Meanwhile, Abby’s still relaxed at your side, his arm heavy and warm around you, like none of this is life or death. Like it’s just another night. Mystery sits on your other side, quiet as a shadow, his dark gaze not visible but steady on you.
And you… you sit between them, staring at your wrapped arm.
What have they seen, that this doesn’t even register?
Meanwhile somewhere down the hall, Romance is in his own room, probably doing whatever it is he does best in that ridiculous sex dungeon of his. He knows where the others are, knows they’ve all piled into your room. He misses you, sure. He always does. He’d kill for your company right now. But he’s not worried. He trusts—strange as that is—that you’ll be fine. You’re always fine. And that, when it’s his turn, you’ll be waiting.
Baby hasn’t moved from his post outside your door. He’s leaning on the frame, half-crouched to keep his balance, ear tilted so close to the wood he might as well melt into it. Every shift of your bed, every murmur of your voice, every chuckle from Abby, he hears it. And he hates it. He doesn’t even realize how deep his claws have sunk into the frame of your door until the wood creaks beneath him.
Mystery clears his throat softly. “What did you do today?”
You freeze. It’s so simple a question, so normal, so human, but coming from him it feels like an earthquake. That’s… progress. Actual, real progress. He asked on his own, not repeating something one of the others would’ve wanted to know, not poked out of him by necessity. He asked. You feel a strange warmth in your chest, pride you won’t admit out loud. If you did, he’d probably clam up, crawl right back into that wordless shell. So you don’t. You just nod slowly.
“Not much.” you say, your voice getting back to normal now. “Woke up late. Spent most of the day in bed, I guess. Didn’t really… do anything.” From the corner of your vision, you notice Jinu’s long fingers buried in his tiger’s fur. You keep talking, if only to fill the silence Mystery leaves hanging. “I thought about going out to lay in the sun. Didn’t, though. Just… laid around. Tried to read a little. Not my best day.”
Abby snorts beside you, still half draped around your shoulders. “Sounds like a rest day, babe. Nothin’ wrong with that.”
You shoot him a glance, and he flashes you a lazy grin like yeah, I’m listening too, don’t look so surprised.
“Good.” Mystery says finally.
Jinu looks up at you then, Derpy’s head still resting against his thigh. His eyes soften a little, as though even he knows this is something rare, something worth noticing. Mystery never asks. And yet here he is. Almost like when he tried for the very first time, except now nobody told him to try. He tried on his own.
You look back to Mystery. “So… what about you?”
His brows lift slightly, but you can’t see that. “Me?”
“Yeah. What’d you do today?”
There’s a pause, as if he doesn’t know how to answer. His eyes dart briefly to Jinu, then back to you. Finally, he says flatly: “Same as always.”
“Which is?”
Another pause. Then, with no change in tone: “Work.”
Abby barks a laugh beside you, shaking the bed with his broad shoulders. “Work. That’s one way to put it.”
Mystery’s expression doesn’t shift, not like you’d see much of it, but his silence says he doesn’t intend to elaborate.
You sigh, leaning your head back. “Well. That’s better than nothing, I guess.”
Abby squeezes your shoulder, his voice teasing. “Don’t expect a novel outta him, honey. You get one word, that’s a whole damn miracle.”
But you don’t mind. You don’t need a novel. You got something today. A question. And that’s enough. So you clear your throat, and quietly ask, “Um… would it be okay if I went back to sleep now? Just… me. I mean—without you guys here?”
It hangs in the air for a second too long. Your cheeks heat with the shame of it, because you know how fragile it sounds, how close to begging. Not “get out” with teeth and claws, not even “leave me alone.” Just a shy, quiet request for space. But they get it. Because all three of them are moving at once.
“Right, yeah, babe, sleep’s important.” Abby says quickly, his hand sliding off your shoulder in a rushed, almost clumsy motion. He gets to his feet with that big, lumbering grace that still makes your bed creak when he moves.
“Rest.” Mystery says bluntly, already pushing up from the mattress.
Derpy is brushing against Jinu’s leg as he stands. Then he says, “Good night, Y/N.”
And suddenly, they’re all trying to talk at once, Abby telling you to dream something good, Jinu reminding you not to touch the bandages for now, Mystery muttering something that could be either “sleep well” or “don’t die.” It’s a jumble, their voices overlapping, all of it washing over you. Then, all three finish the moment the same way. “Good night.” Then, they leave.
You lie back down slowly, exhaling. Derpy crawls back into your side. You stare at him. He stares back, his big eyes unblinking, and for a moment the two of you just… look at each other. You just reach out to scratch under his chin, and he leans into your touch with a happy little noise.
Outside your room, the door shuts behind the three boys, and almost immediately their gazes snap to the side, three pairs of eyes locking on the figure leaning lazily against the wall across from your room. Baby. He’s slouched, arms crossed, chin dipped low, eyes narrowed into slits. There’s no mistaking the tension in the air, he’s been standing there the whole time, listening, watching.
Abby shifts first, his massive frame blocking half the hallway light, his jaw tight. Mystery doesn’t move, but his stare sharpens. Jinu’s expression flickers once, irritation, then dismissal, as if he already knows this is about to be pointless.
The three of them stand together. Baby spits the words at them: “The fuck you lookin’ at?” It’s not even a real question. It’s a statement. A warning. An insult.
Abby’s lip curls like he’s about to say something—something nasty, something that’ll only escalate it—but then he shakes his head, mutters something under his breath, and walks off down the hall.
Jinu’s jaw ticks. He doesn’t give Baby the satisfaction of a word, just turns his back, walking after Abby.
Mystery lingers last, looking at Baby, long enough to make the hallway feel suffocating. Then he claps a hand once against Baby’s shoulder. not friendly, not gentle, but not quite hostile either. A wordless I see you. I don’t care. And then he walks past him.
Baby stands there, jaw tight. His hand twitches like he wants to punch a hole in the wall, or rip the door off your room, or both. But he doesn’t.
They’re done. All of them, so, so done with each other. The fighting, the glaring, the constant one-upmanship. They’ve lived through hell itself, clawed their way out of nightmares most people couldn’t survive and now have to play boyband and deal with annoying fans, and yet somehow, it’s you, your fragile presence, your blood on the floor, that’s truly fucking them up. But they know you’ll be fine. You always are. Somehow, against odds, against logic, against every danger they’ve put you in or you’ve wandered into, you bounce back. Fragile, yes. Breakable, yes. But fine. And with that knowledge lodged safely in their skulls, the worry begins to dull. In its place comes something else.
The scent of your blood.
It’s been hanging in the apartment since last night, sweet, tangled with the thrum of your adrenaline, the crash of your panic. They tried to push it aside while it was still fresh, while Jinu was patching you up, while your sobs echoed in the walls. But now? Now that the bandages hold, now that you’re sleeping steady in your room with the animals curled at your side and keeping you safe…
Now they let themselves feel it.
Romance is sits in his chair before his wide mirror, tilted just enough to catch the curve of his face, the fall of his hair. He runs his tongue across his teeth, slow, remembering how your voice trembled last night, how clear he could hear it even though he wasn’t the one with you. His hand drifts lazily, knuckles brushing the swell in his pants, teasing the tension. He hums, low in his throat, eyes on his own mouth in the glass. The blood clings to memory, rich, warm, unbearably yours. His hips roll, subtle, and he pictures you standing at the doorframe, doe-eyed, watching. He takes himself out of his boxers and picks up a pace. He coos at himself like he coos at you.
Abby takes it differently. He storms into his room, shuts the door too hard, it slams, then he makes a face, hoping it didn’t scare you. He stands in front of his mirror, shirtless, muscles flexed under the soft lamplight. His reflection stares back, massive, broad, dominant. He squeezes his own bicep, hard, veins raised against skin, and imagines how tiny your hand would look wrapped around it instead.
“Fuck.” he mutters, low, guttural. His other hand is already inside his sweats, pumping slow, then faster, his jaw clenched. The thought of you—shaky, pale, scared—makes his chest thrum with pride. His girl. His fragile girl. He grits his teeth, lets out a grunt, flexing harder in the glass as if it’s you whispering that he’s strong, invincible, everything. His strokes match the rhythm of that fantasy.
Mystery’s already half-sprawled across his mattress, one arm slung over his head, his shirt pushed up to his ribs. His breath comes heavier when he lets himself replay the sound of your sobbing, your voice catching, the subtle whine muffled into Jinu’s neck he could hear way too clear. He doesn’t need the mirror, doesn’t need anything. Just the replay in his skull is enough. His hand slides down on himself smooth and slow, like it always does. He doesn’t rush. He always does because he got used to it, but not now. Now our boy savors. His fingers curl around himself like claws into prey. Every shiver of memory pleases him already, your face tilted, your throat tight, your tears streaking. His hips twitch upward, needy, as if searching for the warmth of you instead of his palm.
Jinu’s guilt doesn’t stop him. He sits on the edge of his bed, elbows on his knees, and his stomach flips with something tangled, protective, horrified, aroused. His hand drags down into his lap before he even registers the motion. The band of his sweats pulls low as he strokes himself, movements unsteady, almost ashamed. He remembers the way your body folded into his when the pain spiked, the way your face pressed into his neck, breath hot, wet with tears. He remembers wanting to stay like that, to hold you tighter, to never let go. He groans into his shoulder, muffling it, but doesn’t stop.
And Baby. He sprawls out in his chair, legs wide, one arm hanging loose at his side while the other works him over. His teeth bare, breath hitching. He doesn’t try to disguise the sounds that rip from his throat, half-growl, half-moan. He’s been on edge since the hallway, since catching your scent, intoxicating, since picturing you bleeding, trembling, helpless. That’s what does it for him, the helplessness. The thought of you too weak to pull away. Too dazed to fight back. His hips buck upward, rough, chasing it. His mind flashes to you whispering his name instead of Jinu’s. His grip tightens.
Five demons, five rooms. Each in their own head, each lost in their own fantasy. The scent of your blood fuels all of them, saturates the air until it’s indistinguishable from the throb of lust itself. They hate each other. They want to tear each other apart. But in these moments, they’re the same. Animals. Predators. Obsessed with the same fragile, breakable thing curled up in bed down the hall.
You.
There’s no use denying it. Not for them, not anymore. When it comes to you, there’s something beyond reason, beyond what any of them could fight. It’s not romance in the way you understand it, not even lust in the way humans hold it. Their biology is tuned like a violin string, stretched taut around you. Every time you bleed, cry, laugh, sweat—anything, really—it vibrates inside them, makes the string hum in their bones. It isn’t fair. It isn’t avoidable. It’s instinct.
And last night, that string nearly snapped.
They all need you. They all ache for you. And no matter how much they hate each other—loathe, even—your scent keeps them circling the same center. Their senses are wired around you. Not around any human. Just you. Every shift in your breathing at night, they notice. Every change in your body’s heat, they taste it in the air. The beat of your heart, they can feel it in their own ribcages if they’re close enough. You bleed, and their entire biology riots. It drives them mad with hunger and lust and that deep, snarling mine.
Romance is still in his chair, knees spread. His strokes are lazy now, slowing down, teasing himself. He keeps imagining your face tilted in confusion when he kissed your forehead this morning. He bites his lip, watching his own reflection’s mouth, imagining it’s you looking at him.
Romance’s body reads every micro-expression of yours. The tiniest tremor in your lip sets his blood rushing. The salt of your tears is like wine to him, but like y’know, a really good one. When you cry, his heart rate spikes, his hormones dump into his system, telling him: closer, closer, closer.
Even now, remembering your crying noises from last night, his cock twitches in his hand, and he moans sweetly at himself like he’s talking to you. He’s not just jerking off. He’s worshipping the idea of you.
Abby’s panting in front of the mirror, sweat slick on his shoulders, chest heaving. His cock pulses hard in his hand, grip fierce enough to bruise if it were anyone else’s body. He’s not quiet about it, grunts, curses, low growls rumbling.
His blood floods with testosterone when he’s near you, a constant fight-or-fuck reflex buzzing in his muscles. His body doesn’t know how to process fragile, so it interprets it as protect, cage, dominate. Every time you step closer, his adrenaline spikes. Every time you step away, he wants to chase.
He imagines it now, you curled up in bed, small against the massive shape of him. His bicep flexes, his hand working faster. The fantasy always ends the same, you looking at him like he’s a god, whispering that you need him. That you want him. His body thrums, veins bulging, his orgasm tearing through him.
Mystery’s quieter, but not calmer. His hips roll slow into his fist, breath hissing sharp between his teeth. His eyes are closed, but it doesn’t matter, he can smell you. Your sweat, your blood. It lives in the back of his nose, burns down his throat. He jerks faster, then slower, edging himself.
Mystery’s biology is the most predatory of all five. His sense of smell isn’t just heightened, it’s engineered to track you. He could pick your blood out of a sea of bodies, your heartbeat in a stadium. His cock stiffens at the scent alone, body translating it as: prey close, prey trembling, prey mine. He imagines pinning you down, the sharp thud of your pulse against his palm. His orgasm builds with that thought alone, the wet slick sound of his strokes filling his otherwise silent room. He doesn’t fight it. He lets himself drown in the biology.
Jinu hasn’t moved much. Still sitting on the edge of his bed, hands trembling, eyes locked on his own hands. His strokes are uneven, half-hearted. He whimpers quietly into his shoulder, body jerking.
His biology is a little more complex, he’s tied to your vulnerability. When you’re weak, when you lean on him, when you whisper his name, his brain floods with oxytocin, dopamine, things meant to bond. He doesn’t just want you, his body believes he belongs to you. And worse, it believes you belong to him.
When you cried into his neck, his cock throbbed even though he hated himself for it. Even now, remembering your tears soaking his shirt, his strokes quicken until he spills with a low, broken groan, shame and need tangled into one.
Baby’s chair creaks under him, his pace violent, unrelenting. He doesn’t care about quiet. Doesn’t care about anyone hearing him. His hips buck into his fist, sweat dripping down his temple, intense. For Baby, your biology works like gasoline on fire. Every stumble of yours, every crack in your voice, every fresh bandage, it spikes his dopamine like a hit of a drug. You’re the weakness he can exploit, and that makes him harder than anything else in the world.
He groans openly, head thrown back, hand pumping rough, imagining you whimpering his name instead of anyone else’s. The orgasm tears through him, and he rolls his eyes, half-pleasure and half annoyance at the world itself, riding it out with a shudder that rattles the chair beneath him.
They don’t talk about it. They don’t have to. They know. Every one of them can sense what the others are doing, smell it, feel it in the air. Your body is their trigger. Your biology completes theirs.
Now, afterglow. Let’s go over each of them again. Grrr I love doing this.
Romance’s mirror is streaked with fingerprints where his hand slid against it during the worst of it. He slouches back in his chair, cock softening against his stomach, his thighs sticky, staring at himself in the mirror, cum dripping from his hand down his wrist. He doesn’t move to wipe it. Doesn’t even care that his shirt is stained. He just gazes at his reflection, soft mouth open, flushed cheeks, eyes heavy-lidded, and pretends it’s you staring back at him. But he doesn’t stop thinking about you. He can’t. What if he kissed you for real? Not on the forehead, not playful. What if he pinned you back against your sheets and took your bottom lip between his teeth? What if he got to see your eyes flutter shut at his touch, hear your breath catch for him alone?
There’s the fantasy of you leaning over to fix the collar of his shirt, close enough that he can taste your breath. You letting him brush your hair, his fingers catching at the strands. You on his lap, knees straddling him, whispering you don’t want anyone else. And then you crying, whispering please don’t leave. You clutching his arm in fear when the others scare you. You asleep, mouth soft, trusting him with the most fragile thing you have.
He groans quietly, cock twitching again, the fantasies too sweet, too many.
Abby’s still in front of the mirror, chest heaving, cum streaked across his abs, then he sprawls on his bed like a dead man, sheets a ruin under him, sweat sticking his hair to his forehead. He flexes his arm again, bicep twitching, and again, thinks about how small your hand would look wrapped around it. Then he thinks about that same hand clawing down his back. Then he thinks about your voice, not quiet, not shy, loud. Screaming his name, begging.
Abby’s head is a flood of scenarios. He doesn’t even try to narrow them down. He wants them all. You straddling his waist, his hands crushing your hips, your voice weak from screaming his name. You trying to push him away, but your tiny palms are nothing against his chest, and he laughs while pinning you down. You holding onto his shoulders while he fucks into you against the wall. You in the kitchen, wearing one of his shirts, handing him a mug of coffee while he palms your ass. You whispering “harder.” You whispering “softer.” You whispering “Abby.”
And louder, he wants you loud. He wants to hear it echo off the walls. He wants the others, hell, the whole building, to know whose name you scream. He wants to ruin your voice with it.
He jerks his hips into his hand again even though he’s still dripping from the first time. He groans in frustration, pressing the heel of his palm against himself like he could shove the thoughts away. Doesn’t work. Never does.
Mystery’s slower to recover, body still slow, cock sensitive in his sticky hand. He imagines your scent stronger. Not just blood, skin. Warmth. Sweat. He imagines pressing his face into your throat and staying there until you shove him away. Or maybe you wouldn’t. Maybe you’d shiver but let him. Maybe you’d tilt your head and expose more. The idea makes him shudder, thighs tightening.
In his fantasies, it’s not just you with him, it’s you caught by him. You walking down the hall, thinking you’re alone, when he pins you against the wall. You cooking something in the kitchen when he slides up behind you, hand clamping your mouth shut. You asleep in your bed, not even stirring when his fingers trail under your blanket. Mystery loves the chase, so every fantasy ends with you trembling, with him catching you, with your body thrumming under his hands. He can feel his cock twitch back to hardness as he thinks about you crying against his palm, your breath wet against his skin, and him whispering shhh, it’s just me.
He breathes out hard, shuddering, rolling his hips up into his sticky hand again. He doesn’t even care that he already came. His body doesn’t stop wanting. Not with you. Never with you.
Jinu’s curled on his side, knees tucked, back pressed to the wall. Cum sticky across his thighs, shirt damp with sweat, breath still shaky. His sheets are wet, his hands still shaking from the orgasm, but the memories won’t leave him alone. You crying into his neck. You whispering his name. You depending on him like he was the only one who mattered. He knows it was awful, knows you were in pain, but his body won’t let go of the memory. He remembers your face, puffy with crying, whispering if he’s angry. He remembers you burying your face in his neck, how he got goosebumps. And his cock stirs again, half-hard, traitorous.
Then another thought slides in, you crying harder, begging him not to leave you. You clinging to him after a nightmare. You choosing him over the others, whispering you only feel safe with him.
And each fantasy ties another knot in his gut, makes him hate himself more, but his cock is hardening anyway, his fist clenching around it, pumping with a desperate rhythm.
Baby’s the least apologetic. He sprawls in his chair, still half-hard, his hand sticky. The mess is everywhere, streaked across his stomach, dripping down his thigh. He laughs once, low and bitter, at himself. At all of them. At you. At his fantasies with you pressed against the wall, glaring at him, but still trembling. You cursing his name while he makes you moan anyway. You trying to run and him catching you in two steps, dragging you back by the wrist. You pressed into the mattress, gasping against the sheets while he pulls your hair. You trying to crawl away, but he grabs your ankle and yanks you back. You glaring at him, spitting fire, and him fucking you harder until you’re shaking.
He pumps his cock rougher, chasing another orgasm even though he’s overstimulated, biting back a growl as his cum spills down his hand again.
Pathetic. They all know it. Hundreds of years old, predators, killers, demons, and they’re sitting in their own filth, lovesick. And yet the fantasies keep breeding. One becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred. Each louder, each needier. They won’t tell each other. They don’t have to. The scent in the air will betray them all when they cross paths in the hall, knowing that the thing in their mind was you. It’s always you. They don’t talk about it out loud. They couldn’t. It would rip the whole fragile balance of their home to pieces. But in their heads, all five of them think it. The idea of sharing you.
Romance. For him, it’s beauty. Two, maybe three of them at once, hands everywhere, mouths everywhere, you caught in the center of it like the star you are. He imagines you glowing from it, touched by so much affection that your skin would shine. He can see it so clearly, you on his lap, lips parted in a kiss, while Jinu kneels behind you, whispering sweet nothings into your neck. Or maybe Abby holding your legs apart while Romance strokes your hair, telling you how lovely you look. Even Baby, snarling in the corner, could be part of it if it meant you’d finally let go enough to take them all. You deserve to be adored by all of them, he thinks. You deserve to be worshipped. And if that means sharing you, then he’d do it gladly.
He closes his eyes, rubbing himself back to hardness, sighing at the thought of your voice split into five different names, your body never without a touch. He sees you in the middle of the bed, curled between him and Jinu. Romance stroking your hair, whispering how beautiful you are, while Jinu kisses your wrist, the edge of your bandage, telling you you’re safe. Romance loves that one, the idea of double worship. Two sets of lips, two voices crooning at you. You sighing, overwhelmed, because you’re too small for both their arms around you, but you let it happen anyway.
Then, you and Mystery. Mystery behind you, one hand wrapped over your mouth, his sharp teeth grazing your neck. Romance in front of you, kissing your tears away, whispering “just look at me, baby, just me.” The cruelty and the comfort together, it makes Romance leak against his palm again, shame burning hot under his skin.
Him holding your hand while Abby spreads your thighs, Baby laughing in your ear while Mystery holds you down so Jinu can eat you out and they can watch. All of them inside you, in different ways, voices clashing, and you smiling. Loving it. Crying, but with joy. With surrender.
You on your back, hair fanned out across his sheets. He’s kissing your lips, soft and tender, while Jinu’s mouth moves down your stomach, trailing reverent kisses that turn to eating you out like a man starved. He imagines you turning your face, gasping, caught between them.
Sometimes, he imagines being cruel with it. Holding your chin, making you look at him while Baby ruins you from behind. You’d be flushed, fucked out between them, and he’d coo encouragements while Baby grits his teeth, using you raw.
Other nights, his mind sees Baby at your chest, mouthing at your tits like the greedy bastard he is, while Romance keeps your lips occupied, swallowing every whimper. He doesn’t even hate Baby in this one, he wants him there, wants you drowning in too much sensation, wants your little body torn between them. He even lets the thought go to Abby holding your wrists down while he and Baby ruin you.
Abby’s fantasies of sharing are loud. Messy. He doesn’t care who’s there, as long as you’re loud enough. He imagines you riding his cock while Mystery fucks into your ass from behind, your voice so ruined that you can’t decide who to scream for. He imagines Baby holding your wrists while Abby pounds into you, and Baby taunts him the whole time, tells him he’s too slow, that you need it harder.
He imagines Romance kissing your tears away while Abby fucks you into the mattress. Every version of the fantasy has you screaming, hoarse, raw, ruined, and every version has Abby snarling with pride because he did that to you. Even if another’s hands are on your skin, even if another’s mouth is on your throat, he’ll still know it’s his cock that makes you scream like that.
Abby jerks himself hard at the thought, cursing under his breath, chasing another orgasm. The jealousy burns, yeah, but it’s a good burn. It means you’d need all of them to handle what only one of them could never give. Like the image of you on his lap, bouncing, your voice breaking. But not just you and him, you reaching over to touch Baby too, stroking him while Abby fucks you. Abby loves that one, because it’s competition. Even in his fantasies, he wants to prove he can make you scream louder, make you cum harder.
He imagines you in a tangle with Mystery. Mystery holding your wrists above your head, Abby spreading your thighs wide. Mystery makes you beg, but Abby makes you yell. The thought alone makes Abby grunt into his palm, muscles straining, the sound of your voice echoing in his head.
And then a softer one, you in bed between him and Romance, the two of them holding you, stroking you, kissing your shoulders. Abby telling you you’re his girl, while Romance hums sweet nothings into your ear. The two of them not fighting for once but giving you everything you want. That fantasy makes Abby’s chest ache, makes his cock twitch harder than the violent ones.
Abby doesn’t care if it’s pathetic. He just wants to hear you. With any of them. With all of them. With your legs wrapped around his shoulders, his mouth buried between your legs, loud and greedy. But then he can’t stop imagining another mouth, right beside his. Mystery, maybe. Or Baby. Tongues colliding, sharing your taste, fighting for it. He pictures you moaning, confused, overstimulated, torn between pushing them away or dragging them closer. And him, oh, god, him, drunk on the thought of not being the only one to do this to you. Like the fantasy where your hands are on his chest, tiny against his bulk, trying to shove him back. Not because you don’t like it, god no, it’s just too much. But Romance is behind you, whispering in your ear, holding your wrists, feeding your denial into something else. Abby loves that. Loves thinking of you with more hands than you know how to fight off. He wants to hear the noise of it. He wants the floor shaking, the bed breaking, the walls echoing with more than one voice. He wants to make you so overwhelmed you don’t even know whose hand is whose anymore.
Sometimes, he pictures Mystery pinning your wrists down while Abby fucks into you hard, deep, merciless. He imagines you crying out Mystery’s name while Abby laughs, jealous but drunk on the sound.
He imagines Mystery in your mouth, your lips stretched around him while Abby fucks into you from behind. He can hear both your noises at once, your muffled whimpers around Mystery, your choked moans every time Abby pushes deeper, and Mystery whining. Or sometimes it’s Mystery holding your thighs apart, keeping you wide open while Abby fucks you.
Sometimes it’s Jinu stroking your hair while Abby ruins you from underneath, whispering soft lies like “it’s okay, he’s just helping you.”
Sometimes, it’s Baby. Two of them fighting over you, literally, even while you’re crying under them. He imagines Baby spitting curses in his ear, Abby snarling back, both of them pulling at you like wolves with a kill. It makes him harder than he’d like to admit. He imagines you screaming into the mattress, and Baby goading him on: “Harder, man. She can take it.” He imagines you bouncing on his cock, voice breaking with each slam of your hips down, and Baby behind you, mouth on your tits, groaning while he squeezes handfuls of your ass. Two of them using you at once, your voice screaming, loud enough to echo, loud enough to make the walls shake.
You gagging on Romance’s cock while Abby pounds into you from behind, your throat bulging, your eyes tearing. He jerks himself harder at the thought, imagining your strangled noises, your nails digging into the carpet. He doesn’t even need the mirror this time. He just leans back, strokes himself fast and rough, picturing you screaming his name while three other voices drown you out. Pathetic, yeah. But it feels too good.
Mystery imagines you caught between them, no escape. You pinned down, one wrist in Baby’s hand, one wrist in Abby’s, legs forced apart by Jinu’s strength while Romance strokes your hair and tells you it’s okay. And Mystery, always the shadow, is the one thrusting into you. The fantasy isn’t kind. It’s overwhelming. Too many hands, too many mouths, too many cocks pressing against you at once. You begging them to slow down. You crying out in pleasure. And he loves it. He loves the idea of you never knowing who’s touching you at any given second, your body trembling under the weight of all of them.
He groans, low in his throat, grinding his palm against his cock even though it aches. He doesn’t care. The idea of sharing you makes him wild. He loves the idea of trapping you with more than one of them. He imagines pinning you to the wall while Jinu kneels between your thighs, his mouth on you, his hands steadying your shaking hips. Mystery would cover your eyes, tell you not to peek, make you guess who’s touching you where. The thought of your confusion, your whines, your writhing, it makes him pant, hips jerking into his fist again.
Then the imagine of Abby kneeling at your feet, spreading your legs apart with those big hands, licking into you while Mystery keeps your wrists pinned. Your hips buck up, but there’s no escape. Abby groans into you, and Mystery watches every twitch of your body, his cock aching. Sometimes Baby barges into the fantasy too. Baby kneels at your head, cock pressed to your lips, forcing them open while Mystery holds your jaw steady.
Or your legs on either side of Mystery’s head, your thighs trembling. Abby’s laugh nearby, wet sounds filling the air. Two mouths on you. He doesn’t care whose tongue brushes his if it means drowning in your taste.
Or the thought of you riding him, slow, tight, unbearable, while Jinu kneels behind you, kissing the back of your neck, whispering words Mystery can’t quite catch. Your head thrown back, his hands gripping your hips, but Jinu’s hands covering yours, guiding you. He imagines your voice cracking. Imagines you losing yourself so much that you forget who’s inside you.
He imagines holding you down while two of them use you, your wrists locked in his grip, your body trembling as you try to take all of it. He’s not even the one inside you in these fantasies, sometimes he just likes to watch. To keep you pinned while Abby thrusts into you and Baby shoves his mouth over your tits, sloppy and greedy. Other times, he’s behind you, one hand knotted in your hair while Romance fucks your mouth, and Jinu whispers soothing things just out of reach. He imagines you begging, voice cracking, “It’s too much, please, I can’t—” and Mystery only smirks, tightening his grip, because of course you can. Of course they’ll make sure you do. He lets himself imagine you enjoying it, spreading your legs wider for them, crying out for more, looking right at him and moaning Mystery, don’t stop.
Then one where it’s you and Baby, both of you crying, Baby from laughter and you from the sting of it, and Mystery keeping you both in line with his hands, rough and punishing. The chaos, the wildness of it, the way you wouldn’t know whether to scream or laugh, he loves it. That fantasy makes him clench his teeth, cum dripping down his wrist, chest heaving with shame.
Jinu likes the thought of sharing because it means you wouldn’t be afraid. You’d know you’re surrounded, but not trapped, safe, even, because all of them would be there. He imagines you crying his name while Abby fucks you rough. You sobbing while Mystery holds you still. You clinging to Romance while Baby makes you choke on his fingers. And Jinu there, always there, whispering that it’s okay, that they’ll take care of you. He hates how much he wants it. How much he wants you broken open enough that you’d finally trust them all at once.
He sees you on his lap, clutching his shirt, crying, but not alone. Romance behind you, kissing your neck, whispering pretty words while Jinu steadies you, strokes your thighs, tells you it’s okay. He imagines the two of them together, overwhelming you with too much gentleness.
He also imagines Abby. Abby rough, pushing you down, but Jinu there to catch you, to tell you to breathe. The idea of you caught between their two extremes makes him go crazy. He imagines Abby holding you steady, forcing you to take Jinu’s cock while you’re already falling apart from Abby’s. He imagines the noises you’d make, muffled into Abby’s chest.
All of them sharing you, but you choosing him. Even while Abby makes you scream, even while Baby laughs in your ear, even while Mystery bites your shoulder, your eyes would only ever look for Jinu. Your hand would always reach for his. That one destroys him. Makes him spill across his stomach again. Pathetic.
He imagines you curled against him in bed, safe, while the others take turns with you. You holding his hand, clutching, while Mystery’s mouth is between your legs and Romance is kissing your throat. Jinu doesn’t even have to move, he just stays there, letting you cling to him, whispering that it’s okay, that you’re okay. He holds your face steady and kisses you deep. At the same time, Abby kneels between your legs, holding you open wide, making you scream. Baby’s fingers are on your throat, controlling every gasp, while Mystery presses down into your stomach, kissing bruises into your skin.
Sometimes he imagines more. Imagines you tired, half-asleep against his chest while Baby keeps fucking into you, unwilling to stop. The others watching, waiting for their turns, all of them keeping you from rest. Jinu’s torn in those visions, part of him furious, part of him thrilled at the thought of you trusting him enough to fall asleep even then.
He imagines you sprawled out on his bed, Baby sucking at your tits while Abby pushes into you, your eyes watery, your hands trembling as you cling to Jinu’s shirt. He’s there, right by your side, whispering reassurances while the others tear you apart.
Sometimes, he imagines you crying into his neck, begging him to slow them, while his cock throbs at the thought of holding you still for them. His stomach knots at it. Other times, he imagines himself sharing you more tenderly, you in his lap, his cock buried deep inside, while Romance kisses you sloppy and desperate, and Mystery strokes circles into your thigh to soothe you through the stretch. You whimper into Jinu’s throat, and he’s half-crazy from the idea of keeping you there, safe and ruined all at once.
Baby imagines pushing you to your knees in front of him while Abby holds your hair back. He imagines Romance kissing you while Baby fucks you, the softness of one feeding the roughness of the other. He imagines Jinu whispering pretty words while Baby snarls the opposite into your ear. He loves the idea of you being confused. Whose cock do you clench around hardest? Whose voice do you whine for? Which one of them breaks you first?
In his fantasies, you cry harder with every touch, every kiss, every thrust, because you can’t take it all. And Baby grins at the thought, because no matter how many of them touch you, you’ll still glare at him the most. Still hate him the most. And that means you’ll never forget him. There’s the picture of you crying under him while Abby holds your wrists down, both of them fucking you in turns. Baby loves the idea of using you as a prize between them, of making you earn your way free, your voice hoarse from screaming.
Or you in his lap, back to his chest, while Abby forces your legs wider. You crying against Baby’s neck, nails digging into his skin, while he smirks at Abby like yeah, look at her now. Sometimes after a position change, he and Abby would high-five over your back, fucking you from both ends until you scream. He imagines other scenarios, like you screaming on Abby’s cock while he sucks at your breasts, biting and groaning, your nipples swollen from his mouth. He loves the thought of you writhing between them, cock in your pussy, cock in your throat, his tongue on your chest.
Or you and Mystery, one of them in your mouth while the other does you from behind. Baby imagines the tears in your eyes, the spit dripping down your chin, your broken moans. He loves it.
But then he imagines you between him and Romance, the two of them feeding you kisses, stroking your hair, treating you like you’re delicate. Baby hates himself for wanting it, but he wants it anyway. He wants to know what it feels like, to have you smile at him like that. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, still grinning, still sticky.
But the one that makes him moan, the one that makes him buck into his own fist, is you on your knees with all five of them around you. Tears streaming down your face, spit and cum dripping down your chin, your voice hoarse from begging. And Baby laughs in the fantasy, leaning down to tell you how good you look. Or you’re not kneeling, but it’s still them surrounding you, Jinu holding your hands, Mystery keeping your thighs open, Abby pounding into you while Romance fucks your mouth. Baby just moves from one tit to the other, sucking until your chest is red and wet, until you’re clawing at his hair and begging him to stop.
He imagines you tied down, squirming, glaring, that glare he loves so much, the one that makes him want to both kiss you and rip you apart. But then he imagines the others with you too, and his stomach twists because the anger isn’t at the thought, it’s at how much it turns him on. Like forcing your head into Romance’s lap, keeping you there until you sob, and Romance pretending to scold him even as he pets your hair.
Other times, he imagines softer, you lying on your back, his head on your chest, mouth busy while Jinu eases into you gently. His cock jerks at the idea of your hand tangled in his hair, holding him there like you need him as much as he needs you.
They’re all pathetic, but they don’t care. Not tonight. More than three hundred years of cruelty, of hunger, of waiting, and the only peace they ever get is in the fantasies of you. So they let themselves have it. They let themselves imagine sharing you, touching you, drowning in you. They let themselves fall deeper into the mess, into the heat, into the shame. With fantasy after fantasy, sometimes it’s two of them in one. Sometimes three. Sometimes all five, crowding you, overwhelming you, drowning you in every possible sensation. Two mouths between your thighs. Someone at your chest. Someone in your ear. Hands everywhere. Teeth. Tongues.
For demons like them, relief is rare. They’re lucky to have this now.
God, the situations you get in. You’d think being the girls’ assistant would mean running after them and giving them what they call for. You didn’t sign up for this much blood. You didn’t sign up for a kitchen knife jammed into your arm, Jinu’s bathroom stocked like a back-alley clinic, or five demons pacing outside your room. It’s hilarious, in the most are you kidding me kind of way. This is the very top of the list of the things that have happened to you. The smell of your blood filling the entire apartment. Jinu playing nurse while you sobbed into his neck. The others circling, snapping at each other in the hall, barely restraining themselves from tearing each other apart just to see you. You passing out with Derpy curled against you, while on the other side of the wall five demons were each jerking themselves raw to the thought of sharing you. You don’t know that last part, of course. But if you did, you’d probably add it to the growing list of hilariously fucked-up things I’ve dealt with this year.
You’re a human. A fragile human. One who, by all rights, should have been eaten alive in the first week of this gig. Yet somehow, you’re still here. Still alive. And every day, the situations get worse. The knife accident was proof. A simple mistake, maybe an accident, maybe your desperate attempt to run, maybe both, turned into a night of blood, whispered reassurances, and enough sexual frustration from the others to burn the building down.
Who else but you could end up here? God, the situations you get in. And yet… you wouldn’t trade it. Not really. Even if they do creepy things, like steal from you. Even if it started off with torture in all the ways. Even if you can’t look at a bathtub with cold water in it. Even, even, even…
Even though a lot of things happened to you here, you don’t want to go right now.
i’ve had this idea for a little while and wanted to share it with you.
what would happen if assistant reader said to each of the saja boys “who’s a good boy?”
like who would genuinely respond with “it’s me, right? i’ve been good, yeah?” and who would be just baffled to hear those words be spoken to them?
just a funny little idea i had! also i love your writing and your series!
“WHO’S A GOOD BOY?”
AN: I’m so sorry love I know you said assistant reader but I loved the idea way too much to make it with a still unstable relationship, this way it can go into something way more intimate, in the sweet way. We can say this is not assistant reader, or assistant reader after getting into a relationship with her boys.
cw: implied female reader, dom!reader, no actual p in v anywhere but heavy nsfw, jerking off, almost-shower sex, almost-footjob, dry humping, Mystery getting a little wild
JINU
Jinu’s beside you on the couch, long legs sprawled out, robe hanging loose over his bare chest, scrolling through his phone. His hair is a little messy. He hasn’t said much for the past fifteen minutes.
You lean back against the cushions, tilt your head toward him. “Can you bring me my makeup brush?”
You just like to play with it, alright?
There’s a pause. His scrolling stops. A deep, quiet sigh leaves him like you’ve just asked him to hike across the continent barefoot. But he gets up anyway. He’ll roll his eyes, mutter something under his breath, act like you’ve disrupted the most important meeting of his life… but he’ll still do whatever you ask. No hesitation.
You watch him disappear, robe dragging just a little behind him. You don’t even have to raise your voice, he’s already back, brush in hand, looking at you like he’s considering making a snarky comment but thinking better of it.
He places it into your hand.
“There we go.” you say, voice turning into something just a shade warmer than casual. “Who’s a good boy?”
The shift in his eyes, holy shit, like you just tugged on a thread he didn’t know was showing. And then… the tiniest hesitation before he sits back down, as though his body is deciding whether to pretend he didn’t hear it or to lean in fully.
You already know which way it’s going.
“C’mere.” you murmur. You don’t even have to pull, he folds in toward you, closing the gap.
The moment he’s within range, he tips forward just slightly, nose brushing into the curve of your neck. A quiet inhale ghosts against your skin.
Yeah. He liked it. More than he’d ever admit. You can feel it in the way he lingers there, just breathing you in for a moment. His hand settles against your knee, thumb tapping once.
And then there’s that shift, the tilt from “I’ll indulge you” to “I want more.”
It’s subtle. His mouth moves, a barely-there brush along the base of your jaw. His fingers tighten slightly at your leg. You don’t even have to look at him to know what’s in his eyes, you’ve seen it before.
“Don’t start.” you warn, though your tone is lazy at best.
“I’m not.” he murmurs into your neck, voice rough in that way that says he absolutely is. His nose nudges you again, trailing higher, lips skimming the line of your throat.
The truth is, Jinu likes control. Loves it. But with you, that power flips so easily. It’s not just that you can tell him what to do, it’s that you can make him want it. All it takes is the right tone, the right touch.
And “good boy” might as well be a commandment.
You bring your hand up to his hair, smoothing it back slowly, fingertips dragging just a little at his scalp. He reacts instantly, leaning into it, eyes fluttering shut for half a second.
“Good boy.” you say again, softer now. Almost absent-minded.
It does something to him.
You feel his breath hitch where his mouth is pressed against your skin. His hand leaves your knee, sliding up, slow and warm, fingertips grazing the outside of your thigh.
But you’re not giving him the win. Not yet.
You keep stroking his hair, keep your voice calm. “See? You can be useful when you try.”
A low sound leaves him, half scoff, half something hornier. He pulls back just enough to look at you, but he’s closer than before. “Careful.”
You lean back just slightly, forcing him to follow if he wants to stay this close. “What? Gonna bite the hand that feeds you?”
His gaze drops to your mouth for a fraction of a second before climbing back to your eyes. “…Maybe.”
But he doesn’t. Not yet. Instead, he settles back into you again.
You know exactly how this works. No matter how selfish, manipulative, or downright evil Jinu can be, when you turn it on him, when you make him come to you, when you coax him into that space where he’s the one responding, he’s yours to play with.
All it took was four little words.
And the rest of the night?
Well. You already know who’s the good boy.
ROMANCE
The mirror is fogging over already by the time you finish rinsing the cleanser from your face. The bathroom is humid, warm, steam coming up from behind the frosted shower glass where Romance is currently taking a shower. You’re at the sink, leaning in toward the mirror, hair tied back, going through your nightly routine. He’s humming in there when not talking. Right now, he’s talking.
“…and then Abby said it was my fault.” he’s saying. “Like—what? I wasn’t even—oh, hey, where’s the moisturizer you like? The one with the gold cap?”
You don’t look at him, just reach for a small jar on the counter. “Right here.”
“Mhm.” he hums, letting it go if he actually has to exit the shower for it, clearly not listening to his own story anymore. “Okay, but for real, I think we should—”
“Where’s the cotton pads?” you cut in, still focused on your reflection.
“Top drawer, left side.” he answers instantly.
You hum back in acknowledgment, pulling one out. “And the hair serum?”
“Under the sink, behind the basket.”
You smile faintly at your own reflection, and without looking toward the shower, you drop it. “Thanks. Who’s a good boy?”
The water keeps running, but his voice changes instantly, brightening, a little too eager. You can hear the smile. “Me.” he says, like it’s obvious. “Me, baby.”
You lean back against the counter, one brow raised, letting a slow, knowing smile curl on your lips. “Yeah.” you say lightly, dragging the word out. “You.”
When you glance over, you catch the blur of him through the fogged glass, the outline of his figure turning toward you. His hand smears a streak into the glass with the side of his palm, enough to see you clearly.
You turn away to fuck with him, looking back at the mirror.
The next sound is the glass door sliding open halfway, steam rolling out into the room. He leans one wet forearm against the frame, hair slicked back, water streaming down over his shoulders and chest.
“Come here.” he coaxes, voice low and velvety. “It’s warm. Feels good.”
You shake your head. “No.”
“Don’t make me come get you.”
“Romance—”
“—good boy.” he interrupts himself, repeating it under his breath. And then he crooks his finger at you. “Say it again in here.”
“I’m not getting in the shower right now.”
Two beats later, there’s the tap-tap-tap of his knuckle against the glass. You glance over.
He’s drawing something on the fogged surface with one fingertip. A crooked heart. Then another. Then your initial.
“Look.” he says, tilting his head, eyes pretty and unbearably pleased with himself. “That’s you. And that’s me.”
You try not to smile.
“I’m serious.” he keeps going, tracing little arrows between the hearts. “Together. Forever. You know.”
You roll your eyes, but he’s not giving up. His voice turns coaxing, sweet. “Baby… come in. Just for a minute. I’ll wash your back, I’ll be good.”
“Good boy good?” you ask, raising an eyebrow.
“The best boy.”
You turn back to the sink, ignoring the way he’s now just leaving random handprints on the glass, his palm dragging down .
“Come in.” he says again. “It’s nice. I’ll hold you. Wash your hair. Draw you more hearts if you want.”
You sigh. But he sees the flicker in your expression, the part of you that is tempted.
“Come on.” he says softly now, palm against the glass again, leaving another heart. “Don’t make me beg.”
And you believe he would. You really, truly believe he would.
“Just for a minute.” he says. “C’mon, pretty thing. I’ll even—” he sketches another heart on the glass “—make you one of these in person.”
You sigh, but you already know where this is going. By the time you unclip your hair and pull at the hem of your shirt, his palms are flat on the glass, breath fogging it up even more. He’s watching you undress like it’s the first time he’s ever seen you.
When you finally step in, he shifts just enough to give you space, the water beating down warm between you, but you’re barely in before he leans forward a little, voice low and so sweet.
“Hi.” he says, like you haven’t been sharing a bathroom for the past fifteen minutes.
It would almost be adorable.
If there wasn’t a seven-inch problem pressing against you the second you’re close enough.
Your back finds the tiled wall before you’ve even realized he’s moving you there, one slow, inevitable push of his body until there’s nowhere left to go. His head(not the one on his neck), you can feel it on your stomach. It’s enough to make your pulse jump, and his breathing shifts subtly when he catches the flicker of reaction in your eyes.
Romance isn’t smiling now. This is different, focused, intent. It’s ridiculous that all of this is because of a name. Good boy. And yet, you can feel the way it lit something up in him.
One hand is on your hip, he uses the other to cup the side of your face, his thumb tracing your cheekbone slowly. It’s so stupidly sweet that it almost disarms you, like he’s reminding himself to look at you, to take this in. Then his hand is traveling again, down the column of your neck, over the curve of your shoulder, cupping one of your tits. He likes doing that. The other stays low on your ass, holding you against him, so there’s no mistaking what he wants you to feel.
Then, that hand skims down his own stomach before wrapping around himself, a quiet groan slipping from his throat when he tugs on himself a little.
It’s so intimate in a way you hadn’t prepared for. There’s no frantic groping, no clumsy rush. Just the heat of his body pressed to yours, the quiet, steady rhythm of his breathing syncing with yours.
He’s touching you and himself at the same time, his hips moving, fucking his fist in slow, deliberate rolls that match the slide of his palm over your skin.
His other hand finds yours against the wall and laces your fingers together, pressing them there. His grip on your hand tightens briefly when you drag your nails over his shoulder, the faint hitch in his breathing the only sign you’ve thrown him off balance.
You feel him shift closer to you, hips pressing forward just enough to make the hardness between you more pronounced. Romance isn’t looking at you now, he’s looking down, watching the place where you’re pressed together, his jaw tight. The water slicks everything.
When his lips finally brush yours, it’s not the start of anything rough or rushed. It’s soft, just a press, lingering. His hand squeezes yours once.
It’s weird that you can feel him in four places at once, his lips on you, his hand in yours, his cock slapping against your skin when he lets it go for a second, and his hand between you, stroking himself.
It’s not frantic. It’s not even about getting off quickly. It’s… intimate.
He lifts his head to take a big breath, then his forehead drops to your wet temple, lips brushing there without quite kissing. The water is so loud that every little sound he makes, those soft, breathy groans, feels magnified. Now his hand is working himself in a way that drags his knuckles against your stomach with every stroke.
Your both of your hands are on him, one in his hand, connected to him, the other lower, your fingers curling against his hipbone. He reacts instantly to the touch, hips rocking forward in a slow grind that has his breath stuttering.
His nose brushes your cheek, and you catch the smallest hint of a smile against your skin, like even now, he’s stupidly happy to have you here, this close, like this.
Slut.
Every little movement is a wordless conversation.
You’re mine. I want you. Don’t pull away.
ABBY
Abby’s been your personal ride for the entire day. Not figuratively, literally. His broad back has been your throne since morning, his massive hands hooking under your thighs to keep you steady while he moves around like you weigh nothing. You’d dropped hints before that you liked it, but now it’s out in the open, you love it. The way his shoulders settle when you climb on, the easy grip he has on your legs, the small hmph he gives if anyone even looks like they might try to take you off him, it’s obvious. Carrying you from room to room, up the stairs, down the stairs, through the kitchen, even into the living room where the others barely batted an eye.
Then you drop your hair tie.
And without a word, Abby crouches down with you still on him to grab it. And god, he’s so strong, moving like it’s nothing, his huge frame dipping down with you still on his back. His hand reaches out, fingers curling around the little tie you’ve been playing with for the past half an hour. He doesn’t even have to shift you, just one smooth motion, and you’re both upright again, your thighs bouncing against his sides as he stands.
You kiss his cheek, as a thank you. Then in an appreciative way: “Who’s a good boy?”
His response is exactly what you expect—a sharp, dismissive “Tch.”
He keeps walking. He does it without complaint, his hands still braced firm under your thighs. But as you shift a little higher on his back, you angle yourself so you can look over his shoulder… and clear as day, pressing against the front of his pants, he so has a boner.
You move your legs slightly, adjusting your grip, and let your feet brush slowly over the bulge. Just enough pressure to make it obvious.
He freezes for a half-second mid-step. Then exhales through his nose. He doesn’t say a word, but his grip on you tightens just a little, like he’s making sure you don’t slip. Or maybe making sure you don’t stop.
You do it again. A little harder this time.
He doesn’t drop you or tell you to cut it out. He carries you straight down the hall, through the doorway of his bedroom. The door slams shut with the heel of his foot.
Then, he tosses you down onto his bed. You bounce once on the mattress, propped up on your elbows, looking up at him. His size is even more obvious like this, standing over you, chest rising and falling.
Abby’s eyes rake over you, lingering at your mouth, your neck, the line of your body against his sheets.
His hands are already on the mattress, caging you in as he leans forward, the shadow of him falling over you. The scent of him is stronger here. And maybe it’s the rush of being carried around all day, or maybe it’s the way his jaw tightens when you smile up at him, but whatever restraint he had in the hallway is gone now. His mouth finds yours without hesitation, hot, insistent, sloppy and hungry. One big hand braces against the bed near your head, the other grips your hip.
You push at his shoulder just enough to break the kiss, to make him look at you. You see the faintest twitch in his jaw, the shine in his eyes. It’s beautiful.
“Still a good boy?” you murmur, low enough that it’s almost lost under the sound of your breathing.
You can feel him, hard and unashamed, pressing into your thigh.
You plant the heel of your foot right between his legs, on his bulge, slow enough for him to notice, hard enough for him to understand it’s not an accident. His whole body stills, eyes locked on yours.
Then you push.
Not hard—you’re not trying to hurt him—but enough to shove him back, the press of your foot against his cock a clear little not yet. His breath leaves him in one sharp exhale, almost a growl, and he rocks back onto his knees at the end of the bed.
The look he gives you isn’t confusion, it’s understanding. He knows exactly what this is.
“Nuh-uh.” Your voice is calm, almost bored, even though you’re curling your toes onto his bulge.
He exhales sharply through his nose, but you can see the restraint. Abby’s not used to being denied, not when he’s already here, already in it. And he’s definitely not used to you setting the pace once he’s wound this tight.
You keep your heel right there, an unspoken line he can’t cross unless you let him.
“Earn it.” you add, voice low and deliberate, and you watch the meaning sink in.
Abby’s the kind of guy who can throw you over his shoulder without blinking, the kind who can make your knees buckle with a look. But you just reminded him that all that strength, all that presence, doesn’t mean shit unless you give the green light.
Now he wants it even more.
His hands slide off the mattress, palms up in a slow gesture, like he’s showing you they’re empty. Then, instead of coming forward again, he settles back on his heels, giving you that little bit of space while keeping his eyes locked on yours. Part of him wants to grab your ankle, pin you down, and prove you wrong. The other part… the other part is leaning into this, letting you lead him right into the palm of your hand.
He drops his gaze for a second, just enough for you to catch him taking in the press of your foot against him, the subtle arch of your body on his bed. When his eyes come back up.
“What do I have to do?” He’s not used to asking for things.
You ease your foot off him just enough to keep him wanting. “Guess we’ll find out.” you say, leaning back against his pillows like you’re settling in for a show.
He could fold you in half without effort. But he doesn’t.
Your heel is still propped against the hardness in his pants, not pushing now, just moving in lazy little circles that make his eyes flutter half-shut. He’s not touching you, not grabbing, not rushing, which is so unlike Abby that it’s almost disarming.
Every shift of your toes makes his breath hitch. You see the way his big hands curl into the blanket instead of into your hips, the way his chest rises and falls in tight, uneven pulls.
He’s being good.
Which is wild, because Abby’s not the kind of man who does patience well. He’s not the type to wait his turn. Except now, with your foot on him, he’s sitting there like a statue, watching you.
You drag the ball of your foot in slow, deliberate little circles, feeling him shift under the pressure. Every once in a while, you push a little harder, then ease up again, just to see what it does to him.
It’s not just about touching him, it’s about watching him take it. His big hands flex like he’s dying to grab you and yet he doesn’t move an inch. His breathing’s changed, too, deeper, slower, like he’s trying to control it but every little movement from you knocks him off his rhythm.
You let your toes press a little more firmly against him, a tiny reward. “Good boy.”
His jaw clenches, his eyes narrow just a little, and you can see the subtle roll of his hips forward before he catches himself. He swallows, hard, like the words went straight through him.
It’s intoxicating, watching someone like Abby, someone who could probably snap the headboard in half without trying, reduced to this still, obedient patience because you haven’t given him permission to move.
You’re savoring it. Drawing it out. Making him wait.
The first time his hips jerk involuntarily, you catch the way his head tips forward, chin to chest, like he’s trying to hide his reaction.
“Look at me.” you say, just to see what happens. You’re actually having so much fun.
His gaze comes up immediately, and god, those eyes.
You drag your foot slowly along the length of him, watching how his breath changes to shorter.
“Feels good?” you ask, casual, knowing exactly what you’re doing.
He huffs. “You know it does.”
You smile, just a hint of teeth, and keep going. You switch between rhythms that make him have to shift his hips just to keep contact. Every now and then you pull back completely, just to watch the frustration flicker over his face.
Minutes pass like this. You’re not rushing, and Abby—somehow—is letting you set the pace.
The bed creaks when he adjusts his stance, spreading his knees wider, bracing himself on the mattress. He’s leaning into your foot now, not even subtle about it. Slow, steady rolls of his hips, grinding against the arch of it.
You let him, because watching him choose to be good for you is just as satisfying as forcing him to be.
And that’s exactly why you sigh. Loud enough for him to hear it over the quiet between you. “Come here.”
When he finally reaches you, his hands go to either side of your hips on the bed, his body hovering over yours.
You tilt your head back against the pillow, giving him that lazy little smile. “See?” you murmur. “Not so hard to behave.”
“Earned it, huh?” he says against your mouth, not kissing yet, his voice a low rasp.
You smile, tilting your head so your lips just brush his. “Every inch.”
That’s all it takes, he kisses you like he’s been holding it back for hours, teeth grazing your bottom lip. His hands slide down to your hips, fingers digging in.
The thing about Abby is that when he’s got the green light, he doesn’t waste it. Every touch is heavy, sure, and there’s no mistaking the sheer want in him, but there’s also this surprising precision. He knows exactly where to put his hands, exactly how much weight to press into you, exactly how to make you feel the size difference between you.
His hands find your thighs, sliding them apart so he can settle between them. You hook your ankles behind his back without thinking, pulling him closer, and he makes a sound low in his throat, half-groan, half-growl.
It’s not lost on you that all of this closeness, this heat, the way he’s looking at you like you’re the only thing worth seeing, came from making him earn it.
And judging by the way he’s holding you now, neither of you are going to forget it anytime soon.
MYSTERY
The kitchen smells like cinnamon and sugar, the oven humming low in the background. You’ve got flour on your fingers, a streak of it on your cheek you haven’t noticed, and Mystery’s standing nearby.
It’s comfortable, this rhythm. You tell him “pass me the whisk” and without a sound he does. You ask for the sugar, the measuring cup, the bowl, each time, he’s there immediately, giving you anything you say if he knows what the thing is.
It’s so easy to forget he’s been alive for centuries when he does things like this. Like he’s just… your helper in the kitchen.
You set the bowl down, wipe your hands on your apron, and turn toward him. Then you step into his space, catching his face between both your hands before he can step back. His hair brushes over your knuckles, but you push enough aside to see the faintest glimpse of his eyes.
Your fingers squish his cheeks together in pure, unfiltered cuteness aggression, making his lips pout slightly, and you can feel the faint jolt in his posture.
“Who’s a good boy?” you ask sweetly, shaking his face around softly. He’s genuinely so cute.
If he feels anything about it, he doesn’t show it, not outwardly. But you don’t miss the faint hitch in his breath when you lean in and give him one quick peck on the lips. Then another. Then a third, right at the corner of his mouth, before your lips wander over his cheek, his jaw, the bridge of his nose.
You pull back with a smile, already turning back to your mixing bowl. “Anyway—oven’s almost ready, so we need to get this in soon—”
And that’s it. You’re already talking about baking again.
The whisk scrapes against the side of the bowl, the cinnamon scent getting stronger, and Mystery hasn’t moved. His hands are shoved into his pockets, shoulders tense in a way you’ve never quite seen before. That one phrase—good boy—and those feather-light kisses are replaying in his head.
One moment, you’re focused on folding the batter, the next, there’s a sudden warmth at your back. Mystery’s chest pressed against you, his hands braced lightly on the counter on either side of you. You feel his breath at the back of your neck, the subtle way his weight leans into you without trapping you entirely.
“Not now, baby.” you murmur softly, your tone warm but dismissive, giving a little shrug of your shoulders to loosen his hold. You’re used to his clinginess by now.
He does step back barely. Just enough to let you keep working, but not enough to give you space.
The truth is, in his head, there’s a quiet logic forming: you gave him affection when you were happy. That affection was tied to a phrase. If he wants more of that, he has to earn it.
And for someone like Mystery, “earning” means staying close, being useful, watching you.
So he hovers. Any time you reach for something, it’s already in your hand before you can ask. When you turn to get the milk, he’s holding it out. You don’t even hear him move.
The oven timer dings, and you move to slide the tray in. His hand covers yours briefly on the oven handle, not to stop you, but to steady it, like he’s worried you’ll burn yourself.
You thank him without looking back.
Inside, he feels that tiny flicker of reward again. He files it away.
As the cookies bake, you start cleaning up, and he’s still there. You feel his gaze on you, though with his hair falling over his eyes it’s impossible to tell if he’s even looking.
When the cookies are done, you pull them out. You plate a few to cool, and as you do, you feel him closer again, almost pressed into your side this time.
You give him another gentle shrug. “You’ll get one when they’re cooled, don’t hover.”
But he’s not hovering for the cookies.
He’s hovering for you.
Because in his mind, a good boy gets rewarded, and he’s going to make sure he’s the best one you’ve ever had.
The cookies are cooling on the counter. You’re rinsing the last mixing bowl when you feel him again, pressed close enough behind you that the warmth of his chest cuts through your shirt.
At first, you think he’s just in another one of his clingy moods. He gets like this sometimes, like he wants to crawl under your skin and stay there. You start to give the same little shrug you’ve used all afternoon to gently move him back, except this time, he doesn’t move.
You glance over your shoulder. He hasn’t stepped away.
“Love.” you warn lightly. “I’m trying to clean up.”
But you can feel a boner pressing into you as he presses close again.
“Mystery…” This time, your voice is softer.
His mouth finds your neck first, the barest graze of lips at the base where your pulse flutters. You shiver, and his hands are on your hips, drawing you back just enough to fit his body flush to yours.
You turn your head, about to say something, but he beats you to it, his mouth catching yours in a kiss. Your fingers find the edge of the counter behind you, gripping it for balance as he kisses you, harder and harder. His hair falls forward, brushing against your face, and you push some of it back so it doesn’t tickle you.
“Baby—” you start, but it’s breathless, not a protest.
He just shakes his head slightly, like words aren’t worth it, and mouths at your jaw instead. One of his hands slips lower while the other slides up, ghosting under your shirt just enough to feel the heat of your skin. That’s all it takes for him to press in closer, his hips moving just enough that you can feel the heat of him grinding against you. You don’t mind. In fact, your hands come up instinctively, curling into the fabric at his shirt to pull him closer. His hair brushes against your cheek, soft.
He makes a low sound, something between a sigh and a growl, and his hands move lower. Sliding down until they’re gripping your ass with no hesitation. He squeezes, hard.
You break the kiss for just a second, catching your breath, very conscious of how hard he is, but he doesn’t retreat. His lips trail down to your jaw, your neck, his hair tickling over your skin as he presses you back against the counter.
Your heartbeat is loud in your ears. Your sweet, silent boyfriend is not silent right now, not in the way his breathing hitches, or the way his grip tightens on two greedy handfuls of your ass.
You pull back just enough to reach for the plate of cookies on the counter. You take one, still warm, and hold it up to his lips.
He hesitates only for a second before biting into it, his eyes, barely visible under his hair, locked on yours the entire time.
It’s ridiculous how hot it is.
Something about the way he takes the bite without breaking eye contact, the faint brush of his lips against your fingertips, the little hum in his throat as he tastes it, it’s insanely charged.
You laugh softly, but it’s breathless, and when you try to step back, his hands tighten on your ass again, pulling you flush to him once more. The cookie’s barely gone and he’s kissing you again, the taste of sugar and cinnamon mixing between you. No, it’s not disgusting.
And god, you can feel how much that little praise earlier has affected him. Every kiss, every press of his body into yours, is him wordlessly saying I’m a good boy, see?
And you’re starting to think maybe he’s right.
You realize you’re getting glimpses of his demon side. His control is fraying.
The next kiss is almost too much, wet, open-mouthed, his tongue moving wildly, his hips grinding into you like he’s already imagining what it’d be like without your clothes in the way.
You barely notice the faint, sharp scrape at first, but then, oh, you do. His fangs are out. Not fully, just enough that when he drags his lips across yours, they catch. He bites. Not deep, but hard enough to sting and your gasp only makes him kiss you harder.
He’s pressed right up against you now, one leg between yours, and when you shift just slightly, you feel the full press of him, hard, hot, desperate, grinding against you. It drags a low, guttural sound out of him.
You make a noise you didn’t mean to, and next moment, he’s guiding you into the rhythm without saying a word. Slow at first, then deeper. His hips move in perfect sync with yours, a low growl vibrating against your mouth each time you meet in the middle.
And fuuuuck man, he’s not letting you breathe. Both hands stay locked on your ass, holding you so close that every inch of him presses into you with every grind. Your chest, your stomach, your thighs, every point of contact is a hot, perfect line of friction.
He’s always so quiet, but right now, his breathing is ragged, audible, wanting.
Your lips leave his just long enough for you to murmur it. Low, close to his ear, letting it drip off your tongue. “…such a good boy.”
The counter digs into your lower back as he shoves you against it, your hands flying back to brace yourself. The jolt forces a startled shriek out of you, but he’s right there, kissing you through it, pressing into you like he could just push himself inside your skin. His hips are grinding into you faster, harder, like he’s chasing something he can almost taste.
You’re breathless, laughing a little in disbelief between kisses, because he’s not letting you go.
And in the middle of it, when he finally pulls back enough to breathe, his lips barely a whisper from yours, you can see it in him. That need. That yes, I’m your good boy, don’t you ever stop telling me.
BABY
Baby does not want to be here.
That much is obvious from the moment you roll out your yoga mat and toss him one with this big, bright we’re doing this together grin. You don’t even know how you convinced him to do this. Baby doesn’t do morning activities, he doesn’t do routines, and the concept of wellness is something he usually laughs at with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other.
And yet, you have him here. On the mat you laid out for him, sitting. He’s cross-legged, slouched, leaning back slightly on his hands.
You, on the other hand, are in full lotus position, posture tall, breathing slow and even. You look like the picture of serenity. He looks like the picture of get me out of here.
“Okay.” you say brightly, voice all sunshine and encouragement because let’s be honest, he’s your bratty, annoying, skinny-ass boyfriend and you love him anyway. “First thing, straighten your back.”
He blinks at you. Then he blinks again. And… doesn’t move.
“You’re slouching.” you remind, tilting your head, smiling patiently.
“No I’m not.” he replies, like he’s the one who’s been doing yoga for years and you’re the rookie here. He runs a hand through his hair.
“Straighten.” you repeat, softer this tim.
He exhales, a dramatic, put-upon sigh, but his spine stays curved.
You could push, could tell him you’re serious, but no. You’re sweet. You’re angelic, because that’s what he gets from you, even when he’s impossible. “Okay,” you murmur. “we’ll work on it.” You breathe in. “Leg out, lean forward. Like this.” You extend one leg, folding over it, stretching gracefully.
Baby just… straightens his leg, doesn’t lean, and then stares at you.
“There you go.” you praise warmly, looking up at him from your stretch like he’s just nailed a headstand. “Amazing, sweetie.”
“Uh-huh.” he hums, leaning back on his hands, looking at you instead of doing anything remotely yogic.
When you guide him into trying a simple twist, he half-asses it, his torso turning maybe 10 degrees, and you still murmur, “That’s perfect.” When you coax him into sitting up taller, he leans back instead, and you only brush your fingers over his knee with a fond, “Better than the first one.”
You reach over, resting your hand lightly on his knee. “We’ll try something easier.”
“Easier than sitting? What’s that, lying down?”
“Close.” You shift to a simple seated forward fold, motioning for him to copy you. He does, if you count bending forward just enough to rest his elbows on his knees and then stopping.
“That’s… close enough.” you say.
“I know.”
You laugh quietly under your breath. You can’t help it, he’s such an asshole, but somehow it’s endearing. Maybe it’s because under the bratty surface, he is here. He is sitting on a yoga mat with you. That counts for something.
You move on, demonstrating a side stretch, arm overhead, leaning gracefully. Baby mimics it, his arm not even fully extended, his body tilting a fraction before he decides that’s “good enough.”
You adjust his arm with the gentlest touch, and he lets you, watching you. “There. That’s better.”
The next one, he shifts his legs out lazily, mimicking your stretch again, but there’s no reach in it, no tension. Just the bare imitation of what you’re doing.
You smile like it’s the most sincere effort you’ve ever seen. “Perfect, love. You’re a natural.”
The moment you stop making him follow along with your little stretches, he flops onto his back on the mat. Arms spread, head turned lazily toward you. His hair’s a mess, his eyes half-lidded, the very picture of I am not participating in anything else today.
Useless fuck.
But he’s your useless fuck, and you love him for it.
You keep going with your own poses for a minute or two, letting him just be there, because sometimes Baby needs to melt into the floor until he becomes part of it. But eventually, you finish your stretch and crawl over to him, planting your hands on either side of his hips.
“Alright,” you murmur, sweet as honey. “if you’re going to lay there like a lump, I’m at least going to make sure you don’t turn into a tight lump.”
He groans without opening his eyes, voice deep and lazy. “Do whatever you want.”
Wrong answer, because that’s exactly what you were going to do. You grab one of his legs, bending it toward his chest for a hamstring stretch. He doesn’t resist at all, just goes limp in your hands.
It’s ridiculous. This boy is older than your entire family tree combined and you’re here stretching him out like he’s an infant you’re teaching to kick.
“That’s it.” you murmur, adjusting his ankle and holding it steady. “Good stretch, baby.”
He hums low in his throat, eyes still closed, not even pretending to help. His muscles are loose, his breathing steady, and he lets you push and pull him however you want.
You switch legs, guiding him through the same motion, and he’s still just… there. Not even tensing. Not even pretending to put in effort.
“Sweet boy.” you praise, and his lips twitch just enough to let you know he heard you. Then, because you can’t resist, you slide your hands down his calf, rotate his ankle a little, and give him a smile. “There we go… who’s a good boy?”
It’s subtle, but you feel it, the little pause in his breathing, the faintest shift in his posture. And oh, he likes that.
You don’t say anything about the way his jaw loosens, or the way he exhales like you’ve just hit some secret switch in his brain. You just keep going, stretching him, coaxing him along with the same gentle touch, the same sweet voice.
You hold both his feet, pushing gently toward his chest until he’s in the laziest, most relaxed version of a happy baby pose. You can’t help but laugh at the fitting name.
“Perfect.” you murmur, pressing a quick kiss to his shin. “My perfect boy.”
Yeah, you’re very aware of the erection pressing against the thin fabric of his sweats. You don’t say anything about it, but you do take your time moving him, finding the stretches that’ll just happen to make his thigh shift, or his hip angle in a way that drags the fabric against it. Nothing blatant enough to call you out for, but enough that his jaw tightens every few seconds.
You straighten his leg again, pushing his ankle toward the ceiling. “There we go.” you murmur, your voice syrup-sweet. “So good for me.”
His eyes flick up at you.
“Feel that?” you ask, leaning in slightly so your torso presses into the underside of his thigh, pushing just a little further. The move forces the fabric of his pants to pull taut right across him.
“Yeah. I feel it.”
“Good. Nice, love.” You slide his left leg up again, pressing it slowly toward his chest. He makes a quiet sound, too low to be a groan, too short to be a sigh, but still telling.
“There we go.” you murmur, holding the stretch. “Perfect.”
You can feel him tense just a little at the words. You slide his ankle back onto your shoulder, leaning in. From this angle, you can see the faint rise and fall of his chest, how his jaw flexes every time you press a little deeper into the stretch.
“Good.” you whisper, brushing your fingers along the side of his calf. “So good, Baby.”
He shifts, just a fraction, and his hips tilt upward before he catches himself and tries to settle again.
You lower his leg slowly, drawing it out, keeping the motion slow until his foot hits the mat again. Then you take the other leg, lifting it high, leaning your weight into it until the stretch has him letting out a low breath.
“Mm, that’s nice.” you hum. You just so happen to tilt his leg slightly outward. The motion shifts his hips, dragging the seam of his sweats right across him again.
This time, he inhales sharply through his nose.
You keep your expression neutral, innocent. “Too much?”
“No.” Quick answer. Too quick.
“Mhm.” You start to ease the stretch, then suddenly lean into it again just to watch the way his body tenses.
You’re not blind to the way his breathing’s changed, either. Slower, heavier.
“Doing so well.” you murmur, brushing your fingers lightly along his calf before setting his leg down. “Proud of you.”
When you lower his leg this time, you don’t let go. You keep your hands on him, smoothing over muscle, adjusting his hips. And you don’t bother hiding that your eyes have slid down, right to the evidence he’s not as unaffected as he wants you to think.
You tilt your head. “Baby…”
His eyes cut to you. “What.”
“You’re hard.”
He gives you this look, somewhere between and your point is? and say one more word.
You just grin. “It’s cute.”
“It’s not—” He stops himself, sighs, and stares at the ceiling. “You’re annoying.”
You switch positions, straddling the mat beside him and taking both of his legs at once, guiding him into another stretch that brings his knees toward his chest. And oh, that’s a bad idea—well, bad for him, fun for you—because it pushes his hips up just enough that his sweatpants tent more noticeably. You keep his legs where they are for a few more moments, feeling the way every shift makes him subtly press against himself, and you swear his breathing’s getting uneven now.
You decide to test how far he’ll let you go. You take his right leg and ease it up again, pushing it toward his chest while keeping your other hand braced near his hip, fingers dangerously close to where he’s straining against the fabric.
“That’s it.”
“Perfect.”
“Just like that.”
“Good boy.”
Every little adjustment moves his thigh over his cock, slow friction through soft sweats, making his breath grow heavier without him realizing it.
You ease his leg back down, only to take the other one and do the same, moving in a way that just happens to grind him again.
The first real sound slips from him without warning. A low, strained hum that’s more like a quiet groan. “Hhh—”
“Mm? Something wrong?” you tease, feigning cluelessness.
“No.” but the unintentional hnnhh that slips past his lips makes you glance up.
“Sweet boy,” you murmur, patting the side of his thigh before leaning forward again. “you sound like you’re enjoying yourself.”
He says nothing. But his hips shift, almost unconsciously, just enough to press against you when you lean closer.
“Ohhh,” you hum softly, dragging your fingertips down the inside of his leg. “you are enjoying yourself.”
The next stretch has you leaning even lower, his leg bent high, his thigh brushing firmly against the bulge in his pants. His breath hitches, short, sharp. “A-ahh…” It’s barely there, but you hear it.
You keep going. And every sound after that comes a little easier. Little broken exhales, short hums, the smallest whimper when your palm presses down and the friction spikes.
He’s deadass close. The centuries old demon is deadass about to cum from some yoga.
“That’s it.” you say sweetly, knowing exactly what you’re doing.
When you change position again, it’s even worse for him. You guide one of his knees up and over your thigh, stretching him in a way that forces his hips to roll. The move drags fabric over him with slow, maddening friction, and you hear it—a sharp inhale followed by a muffled, “…fuck…”
You push him further, leaning into the stretch until his head tips back against the mat.
There’s a low hum when you press too close. A barely-there whimper when you adjust his leg. A soft, breathy, “…hah—” when you shift just right. His head tips to the side, eyes half-lidded, mouth slack. You lean forward into the next stretch, your hips moving against his thigh, and his quiet, “…nngh—” gives him away completely.
“Mm, that’s it… nice and loose now… so good, Baby.”
You slide behind him, legs bracketing his hips, and pull him gently back into you, keeping his thighs spread. You guide him into a twist, your hand on his thigh, thumb brushing the inside where it’s most sensitive.
The little hitches in his breathing are coming more frequently now. Quiet, shallow sounds. Ahh—hnh— and the other colleagues.
You tilt his leg higher. You know exactly what you’re doing. And when the heel of his foot drags just slightly against himself because of the position—
“Nnh—!”
You bite back your grin, pretending it’s just about form. “There we go. See? You’re getting more flexible already.”
“Y—you’re… ridiculous.” But it comes out breathy, not biting.
You tilt his leg again, slow and deliberate, and his hips twitch involuntarily. Now he’s breathing hard, little mmh—hah—ahh— noises slipping out before he can stop them.
He’s seconds away. You know it. You can feel the way his thighs are shaking now. His hands have clenched into fists on the mat.
Then you move and swing a leg over and set right into his lap, straddling him.
The noise he makes is boyish, deep because of his natural voice, somewhere between a growl and a groan. His head tips back for just a second before he drags his eyes back to you, narrowed, but his breath is ragged. He puts his hands on your hips, gripping, holding you down exactly where you are. You can see how close he is. You feel him shift beneath you, just a subtle roll of his hips that sends heat crawling up your spine.
“Well,” you sigh lightly, glancing toward the far wall as if you’ve suddenly remembered something important. “I’m not about to start dry humping you here. On the yoga mat. That’s… unsanitary.”
Baby’s breath catches, and his hands stay locked around your hips, holding you in place anyway.
You tilt your head like you’re lost in thought. “Mm, I really should wash my hair later. And—oh, I think I left my water bottle in the kitchen. You want anything to drink?”
His hips twitch upward. You feel it. He’s doing it without even thinking, desperate little movements against you, trying to get friction without actually begging for it.
You glance down at him lazily. “You’re awfully fidgety for someone just stretching.”
“Shut up.” he mutters, eyes flicking away.
“Mmh.” You pretend to think it over. “Okay, well, if you say so.” You glance toward the ceiling like you’re mulling over the grocery list. “We’re out of milk. And I think the tiger chewed through the corner of the blanket on the couch again. And—”
“Stop talking.” he mutters through his teeth, but you don’t think he actually means it. His hips keep moving, slow and grinding.
“Why?” you ask sweetly, tilting your head. “You don’t like conversation?”
He lets out this rough little sound, frustrated, needy. “Not now.”
You act like you didn’t notice him grinding up into you again. “Did you know some yoga poses are supposed to, um… increase blood flow? I guess we’re seeing proof of that now, huh?”
Another noise from him, rough, low, so needy. He’s lost in it now, rhythm picking up, every movement dragging him against you in perfect, maddening friction.
“And I really should water my plants before bed. They’re probably dry by now. And I still haven’t ordered groceries for the week.” you continue, brushing a bit of hair out of your face, like you’re having any conversation except the one your bodies are having. “I was thinking of making pasta, but then again—”
Another grind, harder this time, dragging you exactly where you’re sensitive.
Your words stutter for half a second, but you recover, smoothing your palms along his shoulders. “—I could just do takeout.”
Baby’s mouth parts slightly, breath heavier now. No words, just a low nnnhh when you shift forward just enough to catch him right.
“But then again…” you hum thoughtfully, “I don’t really feel like spending the money right now.”
He jerks his hips up again, slower this time, and you bite your lip to keep from smiling. He’s so easy to wind up.
“And there’s the laundry. I left it in the washer—”
This time the sound he makes is longer, deeper. Mmmhh—hahhh— His grip on your hips tightens, pulling you down into the slow grind he’s started.
“Oh my god.” you say suddenly, looking over your shoulder toward the kitchen. “I think I left the kettle on earlier—”
His hips buck sharply, cutting you off. “Hhhhnn—!”
The rhythm gets sloppier, hungrier, his breath catching with every grind.
You’re still smiling, still pretending to be so fucking funny(which you are), even as your own pulse spikes. “You’re doing so well for me, baby.” you whisper sweetly, dragging your nails lightly up the back of his neck.
“Mmh—hahh—nghh—” He can’t even form words now, just sound and heat and movement, grinding up into you like he needs it to breathe.
You’re still talking, still teasing, but your hips have matched his rhythm now, both of you moving together, and every drag sends little jolts through your body. “Maybe I will dry hump here.” you say lightly. “Since you seem so desperate.”
He makes another helpless sound, hips twitching up again, and you know it’s only a matter of seconds before he’s gone.
You keep swaying against him, casual as can be. “You know, I read once that yoga can actually improve sex. Like, the flexibility, the breathing—oh, speaking of breathing, yours is a little fast. Are you—”
He cuts you off with a sharper, almost desperate ahh—! as you shift just right against him. You glance down at him, all faux innocence.
“Anyway, did you ever fix that cabinet door in the kitchen?” you murmur, still moving in slow, steady rolls of your hips against him. “Because if you didn’t, I think Mystery’s going to break it next time he slams it shut, and then—”
He groans so hard it almost interrupts you, eyes squeezing shut for a second.
“—and then we’ll have to listen to Abby complain about how nobody knows how to take care of things, and—Baby? Are you even listening to me?”
Another noise from him, breathier this time, almost a whimper.
“Mm, thought so.” you say sweetly, shifting again and dragging your hips against him in a way that makes his breath hitch hard. Gives a sound like hhhnnhh—ahhh, his hips jerking slightly as he pushes into you again.
And you just smile like you’re discussing the weather. “I think we’ll have sushi tonight.”
Hhh—fuck. It’s barely audible, muttered under his breath as he shifts again.
“Oh, so now you’ve got opinions.” you tease, sliding your hands up his chest. “Funny. You’ve been silent all class.”
You keep the pace, rocking forward and back, not giving him a moment to catch his breath.
You keep going, all sweet and innocent. “Oh, and the plants? They need watering. Remind me later, okay?” Another slow rock of your hips. His breath hitches.
He doesn’t answer, doesn’t even try. Just another sound from him, a low hnnh.
You bite the inside of your cheek to keep your grin from showing and start moving again. Rocking back and forth like you’re in no rush, like you’re not dry humping the hell out of your three-hundred-year-old brat boyfriend.
You pick up the pace just slightly, your body pressing him into the mat. “Mat’s totally gonna slide off the floor at this rate.” you say lightly, even as you grind harder against him.
He groans again, louder this time, and his hands grip your hips like he’s holding on for dear life.
Forward. Back. Forward. Back.
Well, this is not exactly how a good boy behaves, but sure I guess. As long as he’s happy.
