A/N: he’s fun to write, to mess up with + (you can tell but just in case) this is set in the bonten arc
Words count: 1k
The criminal world was a macho world. Women were too often only present as trophies or interior decorations. That’s why when they entered M.Smith’s office, Rindou, accompanied by Ran and Sanzu, squinted his eyes at the sight of a young woman at the old man’s side.
It was inappropriate to mix work and pleasure, he didn’t like that.
While being on a mission, he accidentally sees his ex. One thing leads to another and now he’s fucking her, because she has some info that Mikey needs.
Weed mentioned, swearing, just fucking in general. Idk man, nicknames? Like princess, baby girl and etc. Hate fucking, but also love fucking.
SMUT, MDNI thank u

Takeomi let’s out a frustrated sigh and looks at the four males sitting in the limousine with him. He had no idea why Mikey assigned him to this mission with Ran, Rindou, Haruchiyo and Kokonoi. This was the most random group of Bonten members and he wondered how high was Mikey when he thought of this. He pinched the bridge of his nose, listening to the argument that was currently happening between his younger brother and the other two brothers. Koko rolled his eyes and looked at the tablet that was in his lap, which showed the view from the hidden cameras. They had to get information about the owner of a specific club that was extremely popular in Roppongi. Mikey had suspicions that the owner, was a spy and worked for the fbi. Bonten had been showing up to that club more often and someone sent some information about them to the cops.
“Listen. I’m telling you, I can just walk in and try to fuck a chick who works there.” Ran smirks. “Then I’ll just try to get some info from her.”
“And what if she doesn’t know anything?” Rindou cocks an eyebrow, frowning at his older brother’s dumb idea.
“I’ll get a good fuck out of this.”
Koko groans and rolls his eyes, after calling Ran ‘the biggest idiot known to mankind’ and then widens his eyes, looking at the tablet. There was a woman walking towards the club. Takeomi catches at what he was looking at and tenses.
“Here. That’s the owners right hand woman.” Koko points at you. “Try to fuck her, Ran.” He smirks. “Wonder how that’ll go.”
But before Ran could answer, or leave the car (which it was obvious that he was ecstatic to do so) Takeomi clears his throat and catches the attention of the other guys.
“I know her.” He starts. “I think I could get the info we need.”
“How d’ya know her?” Sanzu looks at Takeomi and takes a hit from a joint.
“Doesn’t matter.” He rolls his eyes and leaves the limousine, while fixing his tuxedo. He drops the cigarette he was holding and starts walking towards the club.
———
You despised him. You really did. But fuck did he manage to make you feel good. Years had passed after he suddenly left you heartbroken in your then shared apartment. And you just couldn’t forgive him for the shit that he did. But the way he was looking at you, while ruining you with his cock was almost euphoric. Your eyes rolled back as he hit that sweet spot and you moan out his name.
Fucking your ex-fiancé on the desk in your office, that was located in the club you were working in, wasn’t on your list on how to spend the Friday night. But shit happens, right?
“I hate you.” You scratch his back with you nails. Leaving a mark on him, which he won’t be able to get rid off any time soon. You throw your head back, as he grabs you by the neck and brings you closer. He leans towards you and softly bites your earlobe. His hot breath hits your face. He reeked of cigarettes and fancy champagne that probably cost more than the shoes you were wearing. Though in your opinion expensive champagne tastes way worse than the cheaper ones. He knew that, but for whatever reason (maybe to spite you a bit) he bought the most expensive champagne in the club, before coming over to your office.
“Maybe that’s why the sex is so good, huh?” He smirks after whispering and slightly moves his face backwards, before attacking your neck with his lips, leaving hickeys behind. He starts thrusting harder into you, letting out a groan that made you clench around him. “Fuck..” his hand never leaves your neck, but the other one was gripping your thigh. He’s going to leave so many marks on you, it’ll be hard to hide them for weeks. He wants to fuck you until your body gives out and the only thing you can even think of is his name. But before that he still had a mission he had to finish. “Listen, baby girl. I came here to get some info about your boss.” You throw him a dirty look. “We heard that he’s working with the fbi. Is that true?”
“Fuck..” you let out a moan. “You.”
“You’re already doing that. Now be a good girl and answer my question.” He chokes you slightly and smirks after seeing you bite your lip and roll your eyes back.
“Mmh.. No. he’s not working for the fbi-Ah!” He cuts your sentence short by biting your neck.
“Are you lying to me, princess?” He whispers, his face still hidden in your neck. He slowly lifts his head and takes his chance, noticing your parted lips. He spits in your mouth and closes it with his hand, making you swallow it. The feeling of your cunt being split open by him, made him lose his mind. After he gets the information he needs, he won’t hold back. He needed to make you his again. He was an idiot for leaving you and he made sure to remind that to himself everyday.
“I’m not lying, ‘Kashi..” you moan. “There was a guy who.. who visited the club a lot.” The feeling of his dick filling you up so good, made you tear up, wishing this conversation would be happening later and not now. “Turns out he was a spy. Boss took care of it an’ killed him off. Fuck!” He started sucking on your neck again, leaving another hickey.
“Good. That means I can take care of you now without any interruptions, right?” Takeomi squishes your cheeks with his hand and makes your lips pout. “Forgive me for my past mistakes. Will you give me a chance?”
“It’s been seven years, Akashi.” You mumble as he was still squishing your face. His hand drops to your neck again. “How do you know I’m not seeing anyone?”
“Hmm.” He hums. “You’re in a relationship and are fuckin’ me? How naughty.” He groans in your ear. “Or are you just lyin’ to me, princess? I don’t think you’re really in a relationship. And I don’t see a ring on your finger either.”
“Because you left.” You answer straightforwardly, not caring about how he’d react to that. Takeomi only rolls his eyes and let’s out a sigh.
“I was dumb. I know. I regret leaving you. C’mon, baby. Give me another chance. Y’know I’ll treat you good this time. I missed you.” His thrusts get sloppy as both of you near your orgasms. “I missed this. Us.”
“I missed us too.” You scratch his chest as you finally reach your high and he reaches his right after you.
BONUS:
The guys see Takeomi come back and as he sits in the car, they see the hickeys on his neck. Ran whines as the other’s look surprised.
summary: a package from baji’s mom arrives and its contents lead to a fun time in the bedroom.
cw: NSFW (sub!reader, fingering, creampie, mating press, pretty tame tbh), fluff, baji is taller than you, teasing, bad pick up lines, baji loves his mom
a/n: no baji’s mom didn’t send you sex toys lmao. this is for the brilliant and beautiful @maeji-era who i love with my whole heart. also first fic on the new blog 💖
minors do not interact. this work contains mature themes and if you continue reading you have agreed you are willing to see such content
“Keisuke!” you call, slamming the cardboard box freshly delivered to your house onto the dining room table. “Why did your Mom just send us this giant box?”
He peeks his head around the corner, looking at the package in confusion as you brush off the small amount of snow lying on top.
“Not sure.” Baji grabs a pair of scissors and walks over, handing them to you with a smile, “Let's open it.”
You slice through the tape and unfold the box to reveal a quilted blanket. You lift it out of the box and it's huge, large enough to drape over your bed and be an extra layer of warmth as the winter nights get colder and colder. The elaborate stitching and handmade patterns are worn and you can tell this quilt has been through a lot.
Baji stares at it in awe, running his fingers over the familiar patterns, and smiling as memories of his childhood come back to him.
“I think my Grandma made this for my Mom before she had me, I can't believe she still had it. Let me call her.”
He grabs your chin, turning your face to his so he can give you a small kiss before he goes off to find his phone, leaving you alone with the giant blanket.
You fold up the blanket carefully and place it on the table when you notice a small note stuck at the bottom of the box.
‘Cleaning out the closets and wanted to send this to you. Sending you both love, and Keisuke: be nice!’
Baji comes back, wrapping his arms around you and reading the note over your shoulder.
“I’m always nice, she should have told you to be nice,” he says, tightening his hug.
You lean into his embrace and feel your heart start to warm, “No, your mom was right; you cause me trouble daily. What did she say?”
“She didn't answer, probably forgot her phone in her room again. I'll try again later, but what do you want to do with it?” he asks, repositioning himself around you so that he can still hold onto you with one arm and touch the blanket with his other hand.
You're not sure what Baji’s relationship with the blanket is, but he's looking at it with such fondness you can't help but indulge him.
“Should we put it on the bed?”
His eyes sparkle as he looks at you, “Really?”
“Yeah,” you respond, caressing the side of his face and he leans over to give you a small kiss.
You pick the blanket off the table and start to carry it down the hallway towards your bedroom when you feel Baji’s arms wrap around your shoulders. His footsteps fall right behind yours as he tries to hang off you, walking in step with you, but making everything so much more difficult.
“Kei!” you laugh, “You're going to make me fall! Stop!”
He laughs as you struggle against him, “I already made you fall for me, remember?”
“I hate you so much,” you reply with a huff, hiding your smile as you continue your awkward waddle down the hallway with your grown-man-backpack hanging off you.
You move through the door and Baji lets you go, choosing instead to stand in the doorway with an arm stretched above his head resting against the top of the frame.
You roll your eyes at him but move to the bed, bending over to pull at the comforter.
You look back at Baji standing almost statuelike, noting the way his eyes seem darker and the way his shirt rides up just enough to give you a peek of his v-line. “Are you going to help me strip the bed?”
“No, but there’s something else I want to strip.”
You turn back to the bed and start to pull at the blankets again, “Not with that line you're not.”
Baji looks you up and down and considers whether or not playing this game with you is worth sleeping on the couch, before deciding to say fuck it. He pushes off the door frame and runs at you, trying to tackle you on the bed. Luckily for you, his loud footsteps alert you to his attack and you spin out of the way just in time.
“Keisuke! What are you—” you squeal as he makes another lunge for you, his fingertips just brushing the hem of your sweater as you dance out of the way again, tossing the blanket at his face.
He swats it down as you run to the other side of the bed, getting ready to jump over it and dart out the door, but he is too quick. And too strong. As soon as you move he grabs your hips and pulls you against his strong chest.
“I told you, I want to strip something else.”
“Please, stop with this nonsen—”
Baji presses his lips to yours and with a single swipe of his tongue, any remaining arguments are pushed to the back of your mind.
You wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer, the scent of him flooding your senses as he slowly takes you apart with each flick of his tongue. His hands slide down your body until he's grabbing your ass, kneading your flesh under his palms and grinding you against his growing cock.
He pulls his head back and your lips chase after him, trying to continue the kiss. Looking at him with half-lidded eyes, you can see the chaos hidden in his gaze as he gives you a devilish smirk.
“What were you going to say?” he mocks lightly.
“Shut up,” you say before pulling him back to your lips.
His hands are all over you, grabbing at any piece of you he can. Your hips, your waist, your breasts, oh god your ass. Baji can't get enough; his body might be set on fire for every second that he's not touching you, not drowning himself in you.
He walks you backward until the back of your knees hit the bed, but he doesn't let you fall. His kisses move to your neck and his teeth graze gently against your skin until he pulls your sweater over your head.
The moment the garment is out of the way, he's back to kissing you again, unable to stop himself. You gasp as the cold air chills your skin and it sends the blood in his veins rushing straight to his cock.
You tug on his shirt and he breaks the kiss, pushing his pants and boxers off and pulling his shirt over his head. His hair falls back onto his shoulders, resting along his toned muscles, and your eyes feast upon the glorious man you call yours.
“Pretty baby—” he coos as his fingertips ghost along your skin “—lay down on the bed for me.”
He guides your body down, unwilling to lose even one second of contact, and pulls off your pants and underwear, exposing your dripping cunt and leaving you in nothing but your bra.
He climbs between your legs, spreading you open for him, and you gasp as he places his thumb against your clit. He rubs small circles against it, watching your eyes close in pleasure, every movement he makes lighting a fire within you.
You moan his name and he feels like he's floating. Every breathy sigh and moan you make is all because of his fingers, his touch… He needs more.
Baji pushes one finger inside you, pumping it a few times before he adds a second. He smirks knowingly as he curls them just right inside you and you clutch at the bedsheets. Your back arches off the bed and you moan as he focuses all his attention on that spot inside you.
Your moans cloud his mind when he pulls his fingers from you. The look you give him is pure need, and your hips try to follow his fingers, begging for more contact.
“Nuh-uh, need you to cum on my cock.” He teases the head of his cock through your folds and your clit throbs when his dick brushes against it.
“Kei, please,” you whimper. Your fingers dig into the muscles on his shoulders, leaving crescent shaped indents in his skin.
His hands cradle the back of your knees before he's pushing them up to your shoulders; your body is put in the perfect mating press as he positions himself above you.
He pushes his cock slowly into you until he’s nestled against your g-spot. You feel so full of him you can feel him in your throat. Every nerve ending in your body is begging and pleading for more of him: more of his touch, more of his kisses, more of his cock.
Your cunt clenches around him and he can't hold back anymore. He pulls out and slams into you with all of his weight. Every muscle in his body is strained as he pounds into you and each thrust builds tension in your core. He can feel your slick dripping down to his balls and he groans as you clench around him again.
“Fuck, your pussy’s so good,” he growls, leaning over and giving you a sloppy kiss, each word enunciated with a hard thrust. “So. fucking. good.”
Your mind starts to blank as the pleasure becomes overwhelming. You try to hang onto something, anything. Your nails claw at his back trying to cling to reality, but it’s his voice that breaks through and holds you down.
“Gonna pump you so full, so fucking full—” your legs start to shake against his hold and he tries to fight off his own orgasm for just a moment longer “—come on, cum for me.”
Your stomach tenses and you feel a rush as your orgasm hits you. Your soul shatters and pieces back together in an instant as you moan for him. Babbles of his name leave your lips as he thrusts into you a final time, his hips stilling as he pumps you full of his cum.
He kisses your forehead as he slowly pulls out. His cum leaks from you as he gently guides your legs into a more comfortable position. He climbs over your body, laying next to you and you snuggle into him, your head rests gently on his chest, and the sound of his breathing combined with the fuzzy haze of your post orgasm bliss lulls you into sleep.
Baji looks down at you asleep on his chest and his heart swells with so much love. Every fiber of his being is ecstatic that you’re cuddled against him, cutely snoring. He can feel his own eyes closing, and with a smile on his lips, he whispers, “I love you,” before drifting off to sleep himself.
A few hours later Baji’s phone rings from the other room and he leaves you to finish drying off the dishes to answer it.
A photo of you and his Mom flash on the screen from your last lunch together and he can't help but smile as he picks it up. “Hi, Mom.”
“Hello Keisuke, I assume you got the box?” she chuckles, and Baji can hear the sound of her TV on in the background.
“We did! I remember the blanket from when I was a kid but I don't remember the story behind it. Didn’t Grandma make it for you before you had me?”
“She did and she gave it to me when I met your father.” She pauses to laugh as she recalls the old memories, “She called it the 'grandbaby maker’, so put it to good use, okay?”
Baji’s heart jumps to his throat and his eyes widen. “I'm hanging up now, love you.”
His hand drops to his side, and the phone almost slips from his grasp. His mom just sent him a… baby maker blanket… and the two of you just… with the blanket… He's not sure where the blanket ended up in the room at the time but just knowing it was there is enough to make his face burn the deepest shade of red.
Baji hears you coming to join him from the kitchen and he tries to pretend like his Mom hasn't just implied that he was conceived with that blanket. He doesn't know what to do with his hands, fuck, act natural.
You stop in your tracks when you see him, “Why are you voguing right now? And what did she say?”
He looks up at you with a defeated expression, “Well…”

Mochi, akashi, and shinchiro, after an argument? You sleep on the couch because you don’t wanna make them mad and they come to get you or sleep by you?
I’ll sleep on the couch tonight~
Characters: shinichiro sano, Kanji ‘Mochi’ Mochizuki, Takeomi Arashi
Warning : cursing and a little suggestive in Takeomi part
Shinichiro sano
You didn’t mean for it to happen. Honestly. You just wanted to spend a little more time with your beloved husband. Seeing as you haven’t seen him in a week because he’s been busy fixing up a motorcycle for a client. Yet, it all happened so fast too. You tripped over your goddamn shoelaces, which had resulted in you bumping into the stand of the motorcycle knocking it over. Shinichiro was in the back of his shop so when he heard the loud crash he dropped whatever he was holding and ran out.
“Y/n—what the hell did you do?!?” He shouted as he ran towards the bike that laid sideways on the ground.
“I’m-I’m sorry I tripped and-and I fell right o-on the bike. Shin I didn’t mean to do it I swear” you stuttered over your words as you tried to apologize. But it seems that shinichiro wouldn’t take that excuse.
“Y’know sometimes I wish you weren’t-“ he let out a sigh as he kept himself from saying anything else as he ran his fingers through his hair. “Just go back home y/n”
“Shin i didn’t-“
“Y/n go home. Now” his voice was stern, making you flinch . You could tell he was mad. Mad at you at least. He was exhausted too, seeing as he’s been spending his sleepless nights in his own shop. You got off from the ground as you watched him struggle to put the motorcycle back onto its stand. You would offer to help but you guess it would make things worse if you did.
“I’ll….I’ll see you back at home” You whispered “if you do actually come back”
He grumbled something as you left the shop. Not once had he asked you if you were ok.
When you got home, you changed into something more comfortable before grabbing a pillow and a spare blanket. Thinking it would be better for you to sleep on the couch so you can let the shinichiro cool down for the night.When he got home, he was back to his usual self, and he expected you to be passed out on the bed waiting for him. But when he didn’t see you there he got a little nervous. Thinking you probably left somewhere after his little outburst on you he ran out the bedroom hoping that whatever was above that you were okay. He saw the Tv in the living room on and when he went to go and turn it off he saw you sleeping peacefully on the couch. He felt his heart break. If anything he should be the one sleeping on the couch, not you. He crouched down beside you running his fingers gently on your cheek.
“God I’m so sorry for yelling at you” he mumbled out to your sleeping form “really hope you can forgive when you wake up and aren’t mad at me”
“I could never be mad at you shin. Even after you yelled at me” you mumbled out. Scaring him a little because he thought you were sleeping.
“Oh god Y/n I’m so so so sorry. I didn’t mean to lash out on you like that. Really. If anything I should be the one sleeping on the couch, not you. I was such an asshole to you”
“Yeah you really were” you agreed with what he had just said.
“You don’t have to forgive. Just please come back to bed with me” You smiled
“Only if you carry me”
Shinichiro let out a soft chuckle as he got up and leaned down to pick you up bridal style. He wrapped your arms around his neck
“Now hurry up. My neck kinda hurts a little and my back is killing me. I really need that comfortable mattress under me”
“Whatever my princess wants gets”
Kanji ‘Mochi’ Mochizuki
He’s been working harder than usual lately. The shipping that Bonten has been shiping out has been confiscated by police and they don’t know why. Their only suspicion is that there’s a mole under them. That’s what he's been doing. You only asked him to come down to eat dinner. But he refused saying he’s far too busy to be taking a break. You could tell he was frustrated, but you just kept pushing his buttons until he finally snapped at you.
“Kanji, you should really take a small break. Having a full stomach-“
“Y/n just shut it will you? Right now I can’t stand your damn voice I’m trying to work here”
You shut your mouth immediately as you fumbled with your fingers gently. You gulp down the lump In your throat as you let out a shaky sigh. Trying to fight to cry right in front of him thinking it would only make him more mad.
“Well, I just though-kanji you haven’t eaten-“ once again he stops you
“Just leave. I’ll be there when I’m ready”
All you could do is put on a sad smile noticing that not once had he taken his eyes off the paper he was reading.
“Oh….okay. I’ll just leave your food in the microwave for you to heat up later” You left closing the door shut behind you.
You ate dinner alone that night. Only took a couple of bites before throwing it away. Not because you didn’t like it but because you lost your appetite. After that, you walked straight to your bedroom changing into mighty clothes and grabbing nothing but your pillow and a spear blanket.
You made yourself comfortable on the couch as you snuggled into the warm blanket. You closed your eyes before letting out a small quiet sob. You cried yourself to sleep.
Kanji knew what he had done after he grew tired and grew a hurtful headache. Deciding that he’ll just head down to the kitchen. He was hoping to see you there, probably doing some late night dishes like you always do. But to his surprise you weren’t there, the dishes left untouched. He looked around only to find you peacefully sleeping all snuggled up against the blankets. You looked adorable. Until he noticed your tear stained cheeks and wet eyelashes. He felt a slight pain in his heart once he realized the only reason we were crying was because of him. He picked you up bridal style with ease as he took you into your shared bedroom. Gently laying you done and pulling the covers up to your chin he went to go change. You felt the bed dip slightly as Kanji got into bed making himself comfortable.
“I know you’re awake” he mumbled out “I should’ve never yelled at you like that I’m-“
“Can we just forget about it? Please? I just wanna sleep with you right now. We-we can talk about it in the morning”
“If that’s what you want”
You moved closer to him as he lifted his arms up so that you had an easy access to his chest as you laid your head on his peck throwing your arm over his waist. He secured your body on top of his as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder pulling you closer.
“I really am sorry”
“I know kanji. I know”
Takeomi Arashi
Date nights are rare between you and your husband Takeomi. Today was not different either. Takeomi was the one who planned the date night, calling off work for the special occasion. You really were excited, wearing a nice fancy black dress , wearing your fancy black heels, heck taking at least three hours doing your makeup and hair. After that you went straight down to the living room hoping to find a ready and handsome Takeomi. But you found the opposite. He looked annoyed and he typed away on his phone. You watched as he took off his black blazer and draped it over the couch. He let out a groan.
“Omi, is everything ok?” You asked. Walking up to him as you gripped his forearm gently. He shrugged you off
“There’s an emergency meeting I have to attend” he grumbled, ignoring your glances. You gulped
“But-um you promised Remember?”
“Look I know!” He yelled slightly, you flinched softly as you took a step back. He noticed and cleared his throat “some low life’s can't do something so simple”
“Don’t really seem clingy right now but can’t you not go? It’s probably just that one of your illegal shipments got into the hands of the police again.” You said as Takeomi let out a loud sigh. “I’ve also been waiting to go on this date with-
“Y/n, The meeting is more important than some stupid date I promised to take you in, alright? I can just reschedule or something” he took off the blazer that he had placed on the couch and put it back on.
“Oh then maybe you should go if it’s that important than”
He grumbled something before he left without saying goodbye. You frowned as you dragged your feet back up to the bathroom. Taking off the hours of makeup off with a makeup wipe. Although most of the makeup was already runny as you let a couple of tears drop. You walked to your shared bedroom after you were done changing out of the dress and kicking off the heels leaving you nothing in your undergarments. You changed into your pajamas, grabbing nothing but an extra pillow and a blanket from the closet. The blanket was dragged along the floor as you made your way to the living room. You got comfortable as you slept, not bothering to stay up and wait for Takeomi.
Takeomi came home late like usual after a bonten meeting, completely forgetting about the little argument he had with you that night. He expected you to be back in bed reading a book wide awake, waiting for him. What he hadn’t expected was to find you sound asleep on the living room couch. That’s when he recalls what happened before he left for the meeting. He felt bad, of course he did, but he did what he needed to do. He walked over to your sleeping form and picked you up. Walking all the way to your chaired bedroom before gently placing you down. You mumbled something and turned your back to him as you snuggled against your own pillow. Unaware to him you were wide awake
“Maybe I should call of work for a week”
“You should”
You let out a soft laugh as you turned to face him. He looked more tired than usual. You scoot over and pat the space next to you. Takeomi compiled as he laid next to you. He pulled you closer as you snuggled closer to his side.
“Look I’m really sorry about earlier. Should have never yelled at you like it”
“S ok, but now you have to make it up to me with another date Omi”
He let off as you gently pushed you off of him . He shifts on top of you. Feeling his hot breath by your ear all you could do was swallow the lump of Saliva that was caught in your throat.
“How about I make it up to you tonight, here in the bedroom hm?
Summary: If you stayed tonight, then you would stay tomorrow, and the day after that, and who knows how many week or months it would become? No. He never looked back and you would do the same.
(ao3 link)
You pressed your back against the warm window glazed by sunlight and rolled the white gold ring adorning your middle finger, unable to look at the sapphire that resembled his eyes.
Prosciutto was on a long-term mission, two weeks if he had estimated correctly, and you were alone in your apartment once again after a day in the office and the farewell party your coworkers threw in your name. You had put in the paperwork for a transfer two weeks ago to another branch and today you had received the confirmation for a position as an art director in Nice, France.
The movers had already packed your things into a truck on it’s way to a storage unit in Nice.
What do you think about Jackie and Kelso? And could you perhaps write a meta (if you want and if you have time) about the differences between Jackie and Kelso and Jackie and Hyde, please?
Wow, I don’t really know where to begin with a meta showing the differences between Jackie/Kelso and Jackie/Hyde just because they’re such different relationships and I haven’t really seen anyone argue over who should be with who, like Jackie/Hyde is so universal to me (within the fandom) that I’ve never considered writing a meta about the two ships.
I was never really a fan of Jackie and Kelso even before Jackie and Hyde were a thing, it’s not like I shipped Jackie or Kelso with anyone else but I didn’t pay that much attention to their relationship. That 70s Show came out when I was, like, 8 so as a kid I saw them more as comedic relief in the form of a duo than as an actual ship if that makes sense. Then when I got older and rewatched it I realized how fundamentally toxic Kelso and Jackie were and how even from the beginning when Hyde didn’t like Jackie, he still respected her and thought she deserved better, that’s the major difference.
I mean yes, superficially, the difference that sticks out the most is that Kelso and Jackie were very much alike:
whereas Hyde and Jackie were fundamentally different
And these very obvious contrasts of course mean very obvious differences in dynamic. But the most important difference is, as I said, the respect.
Jackie and Kelso’s relationship is portrayed comically but it was a terrible one. That isn’t to say there weren’t cute moments:
or moments that showed how much Kelso knew Jackie:
But throughout their relationship, Kelso was either cheating on Jackie:
Or he pressures her about sex:
Or he continuously tells the group how he’s going to break up with her but refrains from doing so either because she can be useful to the group:
Or because they were physically intimate.
And Michael admits that Jackie makes him feel bad about himself:
which is meant to explain why he repeatedly cheated and lied to her, which of course is an utterly immature response.
On the other hand,Jackie and Hyde, even though their dynamic is at first genuinely confrontational, Hyde expects her to realize she deserves more than what she puts up with from Kelso:
and is visibly irritated by the way Kelso flaunts his relationship with Laurie:
and is protective of Jackie’s vulnerability and state of being:
which is why he goes to jail for her (I mean, it’s also a part of his self-fulfilling prophecy but that’s another post):
(while incidentally, Kelso pushes Jackie to the side and yells, “Out of my way” in “Halloween”)
and its also why he punches Chip when he explains that he’s going to use Jackie for sex and calls her a bitch
This respect feeds into their actual relationship because while Kelso was emotionally manipulative and while he consistently lied to Jackie, there was always transparency between her and Hyde. For instance, when Jackie finally chooses Hyde in 6x01, he kisses her, yes, but he doesn’t lie to her about going on a date with another woman, which Kelso would’ve done in their relationship. The transparency was there even when it was something neither of them wanted to admit to, which was usually how much they actually cared about each other, and that was more about self-deception, which they get over once they talk to each other about whatever they’re self-deceiving about:
and the last gif actually segues into the other difference between Jackie and Hyde and Kelso and Jackie — the level of maturity, which is related to one of the first points I made about how the obvious difference is that one dynamic is an opposites attract dynamic and the other isn’t.
Jackie and Michael may understand how the other thinks
but bonding over the arguably vapid aspects of their personalities doesn’t encourage growth in either of them, which actually consistently disappoints Jackie and which also consistently makes Kelso feel bad
which only further perpetuates their cycle.
By virtue of being polar opposites who care about each other and respect each other, Hyde and Jackie naturally push the other to grow. Jackie learns that being domineering and spoiled won’t get her way with Hyde:
while Hyde learns to be vulnerable and to go outside of his comfort zone:
and they both learn to compromise:
and their effect on each other is noticeable to everyone around them:
whereas everyone consistently told Jackie she could do better and told Kelso that she made him unhappy.
Something else I’ve also noticed while looking up gifs for this post is that while Hyde and Jackie will be physically intimate in background scenes just by being together and being close
I barely if ever remember seeing Kelso and Jackie be so casually intimate with each other, it was always a display of sloppy kissing. All in all, Jackie and Hyde were a much more nuanced relationship and a much healthier relationship and a much more affectionate relationship imo,
None of the gifs are mine, thank you for reading, sorry it’s so long.
You can’t look at that last gif and not tell me Red didn’t see some kind possible connection between Hyde and Jackie. Look at that smile and laugh he gives Hyde when he sees his reaction to seeing Jackie working on the Vista Crusier.
Also Red has known Hyde for years and had that day spent a lot of time with Jackie, he’s gotten to know them both really well and could probably get a sense at how similar they really were.
When he sees how shocked and impressed Hyde is with seeing this side of Jackie, Red’s got to agree. Red’s now learned that Jackie is full of surprises and could have been telling Hyde this with that smile, knowing it would only be a matter of time before she gave Hyde the biggest surprise of making him fall for her.
“He’s a blast. He’s easy to work with, fun, and he has a great sense of humor. There are a lot of scenes in the movie where I’m mad at him and he’s still trying to seduce me, and he made it so tempting. It would be so easy to just fall back into his arms again.” -Winona Ryder (1989)
“She’s a beautiful girl. She’s wonderful, she’s talented, she’s very energetic, she’s very entertaining, she’s very funny. So, it was difficult for me not to fall in love with her.” -Christian Slater (1989)
“I have not seen him in a long time, but I adore him. I’m so happy for him. I could not be more happy for him. I love him so much… He’s the best.” -Winona Ryder (2017)
“I’m so thrilled and happy for her… It’s wonderful.” -Christian Slater (2017)
