"Fuck you, fuck your boyfriend/girlfriend and fuck everything about you!" // "I'm in love with you and I'm sick of having to hide it." // "I would have followed you anywhere. " // "You left me. You don't get to come back." // "I want you to hurt like I do." // "It's over."

“Fuck you, fuck your boyfriend, and fuck everything about you!”

“I can’t believe you think that guy was my boyfriend! Maeana you know that I’m only into girls! He was just forcing himself on me, and there was nothing I could do about it! He was super drunk, and I didn’t want to hurt him! If you had stayed two seconds longer, you would have seen me pushing him away!” She couldn’t believe that Maeana actually thought that believed she had cheated on her. After all the time they had spent getting to know each other, fall for each other, trust each other … all it took was a drunk boy at a party to ruin everything and every bit of trust that Mae had in her. She had thought that their relationship was stronger than that, but apparently it wasn’t, and now Maddie was wondering if it was even worth the trouble to try and mend it. If she didn’t have any trust in her now, why would she have any trust her in the future? What little thing would it take to break it next time? “If you wanted to break up with me, you should have just said so instead of jumping to conclusions.” Maddie told her angrily, her fists clenching at her sides to try and keep herself from getting too angry.

“I’m in love with you, and I’m sick of having to hide it.”

Rayne giggled at James’s words and the dramatic was that he said them. God, she loved this side of him so much. It wasn’t a side that he showed a lot of people, and it made her feel even more special when he was always this way around her, a total goofball. Of course, it was almost always when they were by themselves like they were now. Rayne had come over for a little sleepover as usual, and after being unable to find anything on television, Rayne had decided to introduce James to the lip reading game. They had turned the television to some random movie, and turned the sound off. It had turned into an absolutely hilarious evening so far. Not to mention a relaxing one, she noted to herself as she snuggled deeper into the pillow she had resting on James’s lap where her head was currently positioned, making her even more relaxed as James’s gentle fingers wove in and out of her hair. If this wasn’t so entertaining, she probably would have fallen asleep. “Oh, darling! You never have to hide your love from me! Don’t you know I’m just dying to shout it from the rooftops?!” Rayne added, in a rather horrible fake British accent. Unfortunately the line was ruined when the girl Rayne had been voicing for, slapped the man James had been providing the dialogue for. “Ouch. Man, I suck at this game.” She said, letting out a laugh.

“I would have followed you anywhere.”

A burst of emotion exploded in her chest at Rian’s words. Through everything that had gone wrong these past couple of days, getting caught in a compromising position by the school janitor, getting called into the principal’s office only to find the school superintendent present to explain why the two of them were being fired, to having no idea how to proceed, to this moment right here, when they were both cuddled on the couch together at Rian’s apartment, thinking about all the ways that they could have changed things. Maisie had wondered if there had been a way to save Rian from this. To take all the blame. After all, she had been the one that convinced the woman to sneak off and have some fun with her. So it was all Maisie’s fault that they were in this situation in the first place. Listening to Rian talk though made her feel so much less upset about it. She was afraid that something like this would tear the two of them apart. In most relationships it probably would, but for the two of them, it seemed to have the opposite effect. Their feelings for each other were stronger than what had happened to them. Rian’s words were proof of that. “Baby, I promise I’m going to make this right, okay? I’m going to figure something else out for us. You won’t regret this.” She assured her, leaning forward and giving her a gentle kiss to the top of her head as she pulled her against her chest.

“You left me. You don’t get to come back.”

“Beck, I’m sorry I … I just needed some time alone.” She felt bad, really she did. She felt worse than bad. She felt absolutely horrible. The two of them hadn’t talked about what happened. they had just ignored it for the time being, but it had become too much for Noel to take, and she needed some time alone. She thought that it would make her feel better, but it hadn’t. No, it had just reinforced the fact that she was supposed to be with Beck, and that the only way that they were going to get through this was together. She slowly slid in behind him on the bed and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head against his shoulder for a moment, kissing it softly before speaking again. “Well, I thought I needed alone time, but … I didn’t. I just needed you, and I’m really sorry.” Honestly, Noel had no idea what else to say. She didn’t know what she could say after all to make this any better. They had both suffered a loss, Beck a loss that he had never even known he had in the first place. Noel couldn’t decide which one was worse. Losing something that you had known you had, or losing something that you never even knew you had. Both of them seemed pretty horrible to her, and she knew the only way the two of them were going to get through this was together.

“I want you to hurt like I do.”

Simon wished that their was a way to stop this confrontation from happening. He knew that it was pointless though. This was bound to happen eventually. With as often as Simon was around Ellis, and as often as his brother couldn’t stand for anyone to get in the way of something he thought he should have, he was bound to make his appearance sometime. Apparently he still looked at Ellis like something that was his, and that just made Simon’s blood boil. He wasn’t a person that got angry very often, no, Simon was an incredibly patient person. He had to be in his profession, it was almost a requirement, but his patience for his brother and his idiocy had been worn thin long ago, and seeing him speak to Ellis like he was really had his temper flaring. He knew that she could handle herself, but he also knew that all the stress this situation was putting her under couldn’t be good for the baby, so even though he knew Ellis had several things that she probably wanted to say to his brother, he decided now probably wasn’t the best time for it. “Not that he doesn’t deserve this thrashing El, but we need to go, you have a doctor’s appointment.” Simon gently reminded her, placing a hand on her shoulder and rubbing gently in the hopes of keeping her calm, glaring fiercely at his brother who was looking at him just as angrily.

“It’s over.”

“Oh,” Chloe bit her lip at this new information to fight her smile. she knew that finding out the relationship between Grey and Lily’s mother was definitely worth a smile, but it didn’t really feel like the polite thing to do to be happy about the fact that this little girl’s parents were separated. She couldn’t help it though. Even though she hadn’t really admitted it to herself, she had a crush on the man. How could she not? She had seen the way he looked after his daughter, the way he treated her. She had always found that to be one of the most attractive qualities in a man. Of course it didn’t hurt that the guy was ridiculously attractive. Quickly though, she trained her focus back on the man, not wanting to give away how pleased she was to learn this bit of information and seem like a bitch. “I’m sorry to hear that,” that was the standard reply right? “You two seem to make it work though. I would never be able to tell with Lily. She’s pretty talented you know. Really into what she’s doing. She’s got that same passion that i had when I was her age.” Chloe smiled softly, and quickly moved his hands into the correct position from where they had been starting to wander off path with the icing. “Just watch out for when she starts dipping her fingers in the icing.” She joked playfully, bumping his shoulder playfully.

*Slaps you* // “You’re cute and I’m horny. You thinking what I’m thinking?” // “Please don’t say that. You know you’re the only one for me. Fuck everyone else.” // “I didn’t fuck him/her, I swear!” // “You can watch… but you can’t touch.” // “What’ll our safeword be?” // [TEXT] IM26C4U. // [TEXT] I can’t believe you just sent me that. I’m at work/school! // [TEXT] I fell down the stairs and… well, I’m in the ER.

Slap!

Frankly, Maddie would have preferred a kiss to get her to stop rambling. A kiss would have probably been a lot better than a slap, even though it was just a little playful one. Maddison knew that she probably deserved it though. Maeana hated when she talked about herself like she had been, but sometimes Maddie just couldn’t help it. She loved her job, really she did. She loved designing clothes, she loved creating them, but she just couldn’t help but feel a little insecure around the models she was around everyday. They were beautiful, flawless, they commanded every eye in the room when they walked by. Then Maddie would come home to her sexy, gorgeous, stripper of a girlfriend. She loved Maeana so much, but she was positive her girlfriend was the one settling in the relationship no matter how many times Maeana tried to deny it, and as much as Maddison tried to ignore it, sometimes she just couldn’t hide those insecurities.

“You’re cute and I’m horny. You thinking what I’m thinking?”

Rhett’s concentration was definitely broken by those words. He glanced up from his magazine to find Shiloh there in his doorway looking sexy as ever even in her pajamas from the sleepover she was supposed to be downstairs participating in. He glanced over at the clock on his bedside table and realized that it was a lot later than he thought, and everyone else downstairs might very well already be asleep. Not that he really cared. He knew his sister would be pissed if she ever found out he was fucking around with one of her best friends, but the way Rhett looked at it, it wasn’t really any of her business, and as long as Shiloh wanted it, he wasn’t going to attempt to end it over something like that. Especially not when he liked being with her as much as he did. “Well, I was thinking about turning on a video game and playing, but now I’m thinking about playing with something else.” Rhett told her, sitting up and getting off his bed, making his way over to her and pulling her inside, shutting and locking the door behind her. “I’m really hoping you were thinking about having sex with me, or I’m going to feel pretty stupid right about now.”

“Please don’t say that. You know you’re the only one for me. Fuck everyone else.”

“Don’t say it like it’s so easy!” Audrey yelled through her tears. “Don’t make it sound like all we have to do is ignore everyone else, and they’ll forget about us!” Audrey knew that wasn’t the case, and even if she wouldn’t admit it, she was sure Ronan knew that too. They were both assassins. Highly trained assassins. Very good assassins the were extremely valuable assets to their agencies. It wasn’t as if they could just pack up their stuff and leave the country. If they tried, they were sure to be followed and punished. Audrey was good at hiding, always had been, but she just wasn’t sure if she and Ronan could hide for the rest of their lives. It would be miserable. They would never get to do all the things they had talked about doing in the future, they would never be able to live just a quiet calm life, and they would never get to have any kids. They couldn’t risk any of those things with a life on the run, and running was the only way Audrey could think to get out of this situation. Both agencies wanted the other girl dead, and neither one of them could do it. They just loved each other too much. “We have to split up, Ronan. There’s no other way.” Audrey spoke, a unmistakable tremor in her voice.

“I didn’t fuck her, I swear!”

“Well, she certainly seems to think so!” Noel yelled at him. She was absolutely furious. She thought that her and Beckett had a system. She thought that they had made it pretty clear at this point that they were monogamous as much as Beckett hated putting a label on anything. They had pretty much been keeping it a secret for a while now, and Noel was mostly fine with that. Sometimes she hated it when she just wanted to go out in public with him, but she could deal with it. What she could not deal with was having to sit on a bench writing and listening to a girl about two tables away talk and talk for about an hour about how she had fucked her match. “Why can’t you just be honest with me, Beckett?! If you fucked her, tell me! It hurts worse hearing it from her than it would from you!” Okay, maybe that wasn’t true, but Noel was too pissed right now to care. “You know what? I don’t want to talk about this right now. Just come find me when you’re ready to be honest with me.” Noel told him before storming out of the room.

“You can watch… but you can’t touch.”

“If you’re trying to kill me, you better get in line.” Grant told her with a slight groan. Really, it was more than a little unfair that he was having to sit here watching the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen get undressed, and he wasn’t even allowed to touch her. He knew that she was still pissed about him going on the mission for Coulson and not telling her, but really he had no choice, and this was bordering on cruel and unusual punishment in his mind. He had been without her for almost three weeks now, and really, after that shit show of a mission thanks to some of Coulson’s less than impressive agents, he was more than eager to get his hands on Skye. He hoped to whatever was out there that Skye never had to interrogate him for anything because one flash of that sheer black underwear with a damn garter belt, and he’d be spilling any secret he had been sworn to protect for decades. “Skye, come on, I swear I’ll never take on another mission without telling you ever again if you just come here?” He pleaded to the only girl who could ever make him beg.

“What’ll our safeword be?”

“You think we need to have a safe word?” Eric asked, raising his eyebrows at her. Of course, this was the first time that they had attempted something like this. In high school they had sex a lot, but hadn’t really experimented too much position wise. Mostly because most of the time they were having sex it was in tight cramped places that didn’t leave a lot of room for … flexibility. It was something they had always wanted to try, but had never really had the chance. Now that they were back together though, and Spencer had been kind enough to take Savannah out for the night on a little mini golfing adventure and movie, Faya and Eric were going to take advantage of the empty house together. Which explained why Eric was currently tied down to his bed, his insanely sexy girlfriend on top of him in the hottest pair of lingerie he had ever seen her in. “I mean, I know sometimes people use safe words, but I mean come on, it’s not like you can actually hurt - OW!” He jumped slightly as Faya hit him with a belt she had in her hands. “All right, all right, what about pineapple?” She gave him a look of disbelief at the ridiculousness of the word. “It’s the first word that came to mind!” She had apparently decided on a different strategy though, and within seconds, Faya had taken off her underwear and slipped them in his mouth, silencing him. Damn she was hot.

“I don’t do boyfriends.” // “Wait, you`re gay?” // “Like I’d ever wanna screw you.” // “Just don’t lie to me. If one more man lies to me, I swear to God…” // “See, sexting pays off.”

“I don’t do boyfriends.”

“But you used to …” Noel said with a giggle as she leanedagainst Beckett’s shoulder. Okay, so maybe she was just a little past very,very drunk. She wanted to let loose though. Things had been too serious latelybetween them and well, the whole town, so when a party was announced, Noeljumped at the chance. She might have gone a little overboard with the wholeparty thing, but at least she looked hot as hell in her lace white shirt thatshowed off her midriff and her black leather pants, and she wanted to put thathotness to good use, and right now that consisted of fantasizing which guy shewould want to have a threesome with. “Cody is sexy in that adorable way, andhe’s such a good guy, I bet he’s good at sex. He looks like he would be good atsex. Not as good as you of course.” She assured him, leaning close to nibble onhis ear, her hand sliding up his thigh slowly and deliberately. “I don’t thinkanyone could be as good as you with sex.” She murmured, squeezing his thigh.“And now thinking about having sex with you really makes me want to have sexwith you. Where did you park the car again?” Noel asked with a mischievoussmirk.

“Wait, you’re gay?”

“What? No! I - I’m not gay.” Xavier denied quickly, violently shaking hishead. That was just what he needed, having the girl he was in love withthinking he was gay. That was usually how things worked for him anyway. If itcould go wrong, it would. A little voice inside of him told him that thingscould work out very well for him right now if he wanted. The girl of hisdreams, Calla Marks, wanted to have sex with him, and she was making it veryhard to resist while she looked up at him with those beautiful eyes, her lipspouting out at him, obviously upset that he had rejected her. Obviously, thelook made his heart clench, and he spoke up quickly to try and alleviate herupset. “It’s not that I don’t want to … I definitely want to, I meandefinitely-” he was momentarily distracted when her lips found their way backto his neck, and he shivered slightly at the sensation. “But I - we, we can’tCalla.” He quickly moved out of her reach so she couldn’t touch him and testhis resolve. “I don’t want to do this while you’re drunk because I know if wedo, you’re not going to remember it in the morning, and I will.” Xavier turnedaway from her, pacing back and forth. “And it would kill me. Waking up andremembering being with the girl I’m crazy about and this … Awesome nightbecause I’m sure it would be, like better than awesome. Probably amazing, butknowing you wouldn’t remember it …” He turned back to find Calla passed out onher bed and sighed, walking over to her and tucking her in, wrapping the sheetsaround her with a soft smile. “It wouldn’t be worth it.” He finished, brushingsome hair back from her face before cutting off the lights, hoping for her toget some sleep.

“Like I’d ever want to screw you.”

He had to seriously fight back a smirk at those words, andfrom the look on Skye’s face, she was fighting the same thing, even though shehad said the words. Frankly, Grant thought that her words were a bit of anoverkill, but it was mildly amusing. Especially since Grant knew for a factthat she would screw him. That she had screwed him several times now as amatter of fact. He knew that she insisted that they keep their relationship asecret, and right now, in front of their friends, that was what they had to do.He still wasn’t really up to date on SHIELD’s procedures on having relationswith coworkers was, but he was pretty sure that having sex with his SO wasprobably forbidden. His eyes still trained on Skye, shaking his head as if hewas slightly offended by her statement, he couldn’t help but think it was agood thing he had always been a rule breaker anyway.

“Just don’t lie to me. If one more man lies to me, I swear to God …”

“I’m not going to lie to you.” Logan insisted before she could even really finish her sentence. “I’ll probably be more on the side of brutally honest.” He told her with a little smile, cupping her face in his hands so she had to keep his eyes locked on him. He knew that she had been hurt before, and he knew that with the nature of his job, keeping secrets was a huge part of it, but the fact was, he loved Jude. He knew that she was the one that he wanted to be with for a long time, as long as she would have him, and he didn’t want to risk losing that over his job. He loved his job, don’t get him wrong, but she was more important. “I know, and you know I’m not going to be able to give you every detail of everything I do, because you know what danger that could put you in, but I promise to be as truthful with you as I can. I don’t want to lose you, Jude. Over anything.” He assured her, brushing some of her hair back from her face.

“See, sexting pays off.”

Skye let out a breathless laugh, her heart still pounding a million miles a minute as she watched the security guard practically run out of the building and to the outside. “Does this really count as sexting? We were im-ing.” She teased as she tapped away at the keyboard. It was times like these when Skye panicked during field work, that she was really glad she had a trained spy in her ear to keep her calm. Even though Grant’s presence might not be physically with her, it sure felt like it. It was a comfort she was probably getting too attached to. She couldn’t help it though. It seemed like he was the only thing that could keep her calm in a mission, like he was her very own superhero, keeping her safe with his skills that she knew could rival her own SOs. Not to mention he was creative at getting out of situations, like coming up with a plan to have her sexting the guard from his superior’s computer. In fact, she was a little surprised she hadn’t thought of it herself. She guessed the art of seduction was one of the things they taught in Hydra. That thought made her uncomfortable though, and she quickly focused back on the mission, tapping her ear wig and speaking to Coulson. “Coast is clear for extraction AC.” She said simply, grinning at her success.

[ahsokaismyqueen]

“It’s 4 in the morning, is everything ok?” // “Some days I think I’m dying, but I’m really only trying to get through.” // “I need you to need me.” // “Can I touch you?” // “I couldn’t give a flying fuck what’s normal.” // “Why didn’t you take me with you?”

“It’s four in the morning, is everything ok?”

“No, no, Beck, it isn’t.” Noel whispered through the phone.They couldn’t believe that they had actually given her the chance to talk tohim. She thought for sure they would just dump her off outside the hospital,leaving her to find her own way home. At least they had given her the smallmercy of calling her match to have him come and get here. There’s … There’ssomething that I haven’t told you. I … I need you to come pick me up at thehospital. I promise I’ll explain everything when you get here -” Noel couldbarely speak at this point, her voice so filled with the anguish inside of her,she could barely understand herself. She knew her speaking like this would makehim panic, but she couldn’t control her voice or her tears while she continuedto talk. “Please … I just need you. I need you here with me.” Noel insisted,panicked when she saw the nurses enter her room, wanting to get the phone back.“Get here soon, please just get here soon -” was all she got the chance to saybefore the phone was taken from her hand and disconnected.

“Some days I think I’m dying, but I’m really only trying toget through.”

“I know,” Ava sighed, rubbing her eyes tiredly. She lovedher baby girl. Oh god, she loved her baby girl oh so much, but she wasexhausted. The little girl had absolutely no sense of time which was ridiculousconsidering how old she was, but Ava knew it must have something to do with theway she was passed around so much. Still, it was exhaustive on her and Lucas.It was four o’clock in the morning, Lucas had school and Ava had to work, andthey had just finally gotten Sara to sleep. Both of them could barely keeptheir eyes open which was why Ava was so tired she didn’t even care that shewas laying in the same bed as Lucas, leaning against his shoulder while his armwas wrapped around her. Her eyes were even partially closed, but she didn’tcare. Lucas was comfortable, and she just wanted to sleep for hours. “I loveher, but I need to sleep. I might call in work.” Ava murmured against hisshoulder, cuddling further into his side. It couldn’t have been ten moreseconds until she was just completely out, fast asleep.

“I need you to need me.”

“Baby, I do need you.” Natalia told him, shaking her head athim with a soft smile. She walked over to him, sitting down in his lap andrunning a hand through his hair. “I just don’t need you for the traditional thingsa woman needs a man for. I need you for the comfort …” She squeezed himtight, her arms around his neck. “I need you to listen to me when I talk, and .. .” Her lips made her way down to his ear, nibbling on it gently. “And Idefinitely need you for the sex.” She said with a little giggle before pullingback. She was still getting used to this whole … talking about what theywere feeling thing, but she was finding that she actually did like it. Shefound that it was nice, and honestly, it made her feel a lot better being ableto actually not bottle things up, and it made her a lot less angry. “I’m justsaying to take your time finding out what you want. There’s a world of possibilitieshere, and you deserve to be able to do something that you really love. I wantyou to find it. I want you to be as happy as you can be here.” She told himhonestly.

“Can I touch you?”

“Yes, babe, I’m not that fragile.” Katrina said with alittle laugh. “Besides, I figure the only way I’ll get to cuddle both of ourgirls is if you climb in bed with me since you’re hogging them so much.” Sheteased, sticking her tongue out playfully at her newlywed husband as sheshifted slightly in the bed to make room for both of them. It hurt a little bitto move around, but not as badly as she would have expected after all thosehorror stories she probably shouldn’t have read about twins online. The painwas still there, oh it was still there, but the morphine still being in hersystem along with the added distraction of two perfect, yet small baby girls,helped numb it. Katrina had just breastfed the two babies not too long ago, sothey were both happily asleep, one in each of Micah’s arms. Katrina had toadmit, seeing him with them, seeing the way that he looked at them like theywere the most precious things in the world that he wouldn’t let anything happento, was making her fall even more in love with him. She pressed a soft kiss toeach of her baby’s heads before nuzzling into Micah’s shoulder. “I love you.”She whispered softly, smiling at him.

“I couldn’t give a flying fuck what’s normal.”

Augustus shook his head as he pressed a soft kiss to Sawyer’sbare shoulder. He knew that she didn’t. If she did care about what was normal,she wouldn’t be here in the first place. Augustus couldn’t help but think thatshe deserved better though. She deserved normal. Sawyer was amazing, and shedeserved someone who could spoil her like she deserved. Someone who could takeher out on dates in public, hold her hand, shower her with affection whilepeople were watching just like Augustus wanted to do, but the fact was, hecouldn’t. Not unless he wanted to lose his job and suffer God knows what otherconsequences, and he couldn’t help but find himself feeling guilty about it nomatter how many times Sawyer said that she didn’t care. He didn’t understand itthough. He liked to think that he knew women, that he had a pretty good handleon picking up their desires, and he knew that most women craved affection, andwhile Augustus tried to shower her with it as much as possible when they werealone, he felt like it wasn’t enough, and he didn’t understand why Sawyer didn’tleave him for someone better. “I’m just saying … If you wanted to leave me sothat you could find someone who could really be there for you … I’dunderstand.” He assured her, brushing some hair back from her face.

“Why didn’t you take me with you?”

“Because I don’t want you anywhere near her. You orSavannah.” Eric replied, clenching his fists by his side, still totallyinfuriated by the conversation that he had just gotten through having with hisex, Savannah’s mother. “And I would rather have you here with her just in casesomething happened.” Honestly, he trusted Faya to take care of Savannah morethan anyone else, and he definitely wanted her here just in case his ex didsomething crazy which he wouldn’t put past her with what she was trying to pullnow. “She’s not going to give up fighting for custody. She said that shedoesn’t think we’re capable of being good parents to Savannah and wants herback, when you know good and well she’s only pissed because we’re backtogether.” He finally looked down at Faya, fire burning in his eyes. “I’m notletting her take my girl away.” Eric said, practically growling.

“Somebody’s trying to take me away?” Eric looked toward thedoorway to find his daughter standing there and holding herself, lookingfrightened. “But I want to stay here with you and mommy.” She told him.

Eric’s heart broke, and he quickly pulled his daughter intohis arms, holding her close. “It’s okay baby girl, your mom and I aren’t goingto let anyone take you away. I promise.” He assured her, brushing a handthrough her hair to soothe her as Faya voiced her agreement to their littlegirl. Through all this drama, Eric knew his words were true. She wasn’t gettinganywhere near their girl.

[text] Ha, that’s not funny. // [text] SOS!!! I’m in trouble!! // [text] Where the hell are you??? // [text] Are you still up? I can’t sleep. // [text] Get me out of here. // [text] It’s official, I hate you.

[text] Ha, that’s not funny. 

[text] Not trying to be funny. [text] Trying not to die actually. [text] Which is exactly what I think Coulson will try to do it he catches us in the weapons closet again. [text] Which was probably a bad idea to begin with considering what happens when you get a little … Caught up.

[text] SOS!!! I’m in trouble!!

[text] What’s going on?[text] Are you okay?[text] Are the kids okay?[text] James, if you’re making me freak out because one of the kids peed on you again I’m not giving you a kiss when I get home.

[text] Where the hell are you???

[text] Somewhere … [text] Somewhere I’m not going to tell you because you’ll be mad at me. [text] But I’m safe and everything is fine. [text] Don’t worry.

[text] Are you still up? I can’t sleep.

[text] Lucky for you, I am. [text] You’d be so proud of me, I’ve actually been studying. [text] So you should come over and reward me for my hard work. [text] My roommate is out for the night, and you can be as loud as you want. ;)

[text] Get me out of here.

[text] No way. [text] Remember I told you it would be exhausting, and you wouldn’t want to go. [text]You dug your own grave with that. [text] Besides Sophie is being super fussy, and I’m pretty sure if I let go of her for even a second she’ll start screeching.

[text] It’s official, I hate you.

[text] Yeah you just keep telling yourself that Princess. [text] If that’s what it takes for you to live with yourself. [text] Personally I would just stop denying the inevitable. [text] But you do like to make things difficult for yourself don’t you?

"I think I love you." // "I don't wanna get hurt." // "I can't erase you." // "Can I kiss you?" // "Stop leading me on." //

“I think I love you.”

Eric’s lips froze against Faya’s neck where he had currentlybeen worshipping her skin. Surely she hadn’t just said that, right? She couldn’thave said that. She knew how skittish he was about that sort of stuff. He hadbeen very clear that there was nothing here other than just him being her boyfriend.That was as far as his commitment could go. Love was not going to factor intoit as much as he … as strong as his feelings for her might end up being, hecouldn’t go there. He was about to graduate from school. He was about to go offon his own, and he couldn’t have a girl, no matter how crazy he was about her,holding him back. With the realization, Eric’s lips moved up her skin slowly,taking in every single breath she took, and how she felt, tasted, against hislips. His arms tightened around her, burying his face in her hair for a momentand just taking in the scent that was so uniquely Faya before cupping his cheekin her hand, tilting her head to face him and meeting her lips in a passionatekiss. He kissed her carefully, thoroughly, like he might never get to again,which he might. He didn’t pull away until they were both breathless, and oncethey had parted, his fingers gently brushed her cheek, studying her face, andmoving his hand to run through her hair. “Let’s get you home.” Eric said quietly,pressing another soft kiss to her forehead.

“I don’t want to get hurt.”

As heated as this conversation had started out, Stephen wasglad that it had ended here. He felt like a complete idiot of course for allthat she was upset with him for. He couldn’t believe how oblivious he had beento her emotions. They were married for God’s sakes, and he hadn’t even knownthat she was upset with him. He supposed it was his lack of knowledge aboutwomen once again that had caused this. He had known that he probably wasn’tgiving her the attention that she had deserved. In his defense, he had beenvery busy getting ready to take over the kingdom, but still, it was no excuse.The thing about Stephen was that even though he had been married for a fewmonths now, he still had absolutely no idea how to read his wife’s emotions.That was why he had no idea what she was feeling until right now when she wastelling him, about how she was afraid that he didn’t care for her, how she wasafraid that he was going to find someone else to spend his time with. Hehonestly hadn’t ever been worried about that because he thought the idea was soridiculous to him. How could he ever want anyone other than her? Now though, heknew not assuring her had been a mistake. “Isabel Destain, I know that peopleview Kings and Queens differently. That Kings are accepted to have mistresses,while Queens are hanged for it, but I for one, take my wedding vows seriously.”Stephen brushed a gentle hand through her hair, trying to reassure her. “Theidea of wanting anyone other than you just seems … ludicrous to me. Howcould I ever even consider anyone’s beauty or intelligence or kindness toyours?” He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. “I am sorry for being sooblivious to your worries, but I promise, I’m never going to intentionally hurtyou.” He vowed.

“I can’t erase you.”

Noel sighed as she nuzzled her face into Beck’s chest. Shehated fighting with him. Which was ridiculous considering just how often theydid fight with each other, but she did. It seemed like ever since she had lostthe baby, fighting with him became more and more painful. They were going tohave to find a common ground here pretty soon or else the fighting would justend up destroying them, and that wasn’t what Noel wanted. It wasn’t what shethought she could handle. She had already lost so much. Pretty much everythingand everyone that she could lose. If she lost Beck … She didn’t know whatshe would do. She liked to think of herself as a strong girl. She had neverbeen dependent on someone before because there had been no one who could takeon that role in the first place. Then she had gotten matched to Beck, fallen inlove with him, and started depending on him, and now that she had someone whocould take on that role, she didn’t want to give him back. Noel lifted her facefrom his bare chest, drawing patterns on the exposed skin with her fingertips. “Idon’t want you to erase me. I know I can’t erase you. For one thing we havematching tattoos.” She teased, a small grin on her face before turning serious.“I need you, Beck. I don’t want to push you away anymore. I can’t imaginelosing you too.” She told him, biting her bottom lip.

“Can I kiss you?”

A little smirk fell on Logan’s lips as he looked down atJude. “Never thought you’d be the type to ask.” He said, raising an eyebrow.Really, it was kind of amusing to him that she was asking since he had beentrying to deny the urge to do the same thing pretty much all night. He knewthis was an absolutely horrible idea. Dating your partner’s daughter? Datingthe daughter of the guy who you knew had a gun and was supposed to have yourback? Definitely not something that would be encouraged by anyone who had anysense, but the fact was, he and Jude had something there. There was a chemistrythat he wasn’t going to be able to deny, no matter how bad of an idea it was.Logan had been trying hard to ignore it for the most part. Pretend that itwasn’t there and just keep on with the flirting. It was safer, and that way noone got hurt, especially him because he did not want another gunshot wound sosoon. Tonight though, seeing her in that dress, looking like an absolutegoddess while she danced around the room? He couldn’t deny it anymore, and heknew that she couldn’t either. “Yeah, I guess you can have a shot,” he teased,but before she could even make a move he swept in and pressed a firm kissagainst her lips. They were soft, full, and tasted of the alcohol that she hadconsumed earlier. His hands found a home on her hips, pulling her closer as hetook his time exploring her mouth, memorizing everything about this moment andenjoying it. He had known he was attracted to her, but now … it wasstronger than he had imagined. Eventually though, the need for breathoutweighed the pleasure, and he pulled away, leaning his forehead against hers.“Not too bad, I’d give you an eight. Of course, I’d be all too willing to helpyou practice.” Logan told her, the smirk back on his face.

“Stop leading me on.”

“Damn it, Skye, I’m not leading you on!” He hissed at her,looking around the room anxiously one more time. He had no idea how long hewould have before someone checked the feeds and realized that he was down here,but he was sure that it wouldn’t be long. Running out of time, Grant could seeno other choice, and grabbed the tablet. With a few quick swipes, the barriershone gold for a moment before it disappeared. Grant wasted no moment hurryingacross the room and cupping her face in his hands as he stared into her eyes. “Doyou believe me now?! My brother is coming for you. Coulson is going to give youaway as leverage, and he will put you on a public trial if he doesn’t kill youfirst.” Grant’s hands were shaking even as she covered his hands with her own.Since Grant had become an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., he hadn’t much been scared ofanything, but Christian? The thought of him getting his bloodthirsty hands onSkye made Grant want to throw up. “I cannot let him touch you. You cannot lethim anywhere near you, Skye. You can’t.” He told her, the full blown panic leakinginto his voice. “Promise me. Promise me you won’t let him touch you.” When shenodded her ascent, he leaned forward, meeting her lips for a bruising kiss, akiss that he knew would have to last them a while, so he poured everything thathe had into it. It wasn’t a soft kiss by any means, filled with intensity andworry and Grant’s terror, but as all kisses with Skye, it was one he wouldnever forget. He didn’t want to pull away, but knowing he had to, he did, hisforehead touching hers as he brushed a hand through her hair, slipping a bobbypin into the soft, dark tresses. “Don’t let him touch you.” He repeated breathlessly, his eyes still closed.
