synopsis: Being a hero is hard enough without having to constantly pretend you aren’t ogling your partner’s perfect ass every time he moves. Unfortunately, X-ray vision doesn’t come with an off switch and Nightwing doesn’t come with bad angles.
WARNING: 18+ SMUT
You’d been around the block with your fair share of awkward powers, but x-ray vision was the crown jewel in the “oh no” category, especially when it came to him.
Nightwing.
Dick Grayson.
The man was sculpted like some divine joke, and your traitorous eyes didn’t miss anything. It was bad enough that you could see every twitch of muscle under that skintight suit, but his ass? His perfect, crime-fighting, gravity-defying ass? It should’ve been illegal. You’d lost count of how many rooftop patrols had turned into silent, suffering thirst traps in your own head.
So you made a plan: avoid him. Act cool. Keep your eyes on literally anything else. Because if you didn’t, you were either going to combust or blurt something out that would make things very, very awkward.
The problem? Dick wasn’t stupid.
At first, he thought you were shy, then he thought maybe you were just distracted. But as the weeks passed and your banter went from warm and easy to clipped and professional, the gears in his head started turning. He’d been working himself up to ask you out, hell, he thought you’d been flirting back. Now? You barely looked at him.
So, naturally, he cornered you.
It was after a mission, both of you in the locker room. You were busy pretending to sort through your gear, avoiding eye contact like it was life or death. Dick, still in half his suit, walked right up and planted himself in your space. “Did I do something?”
You swallowed, keeping your gaze firmly on the wall. “Nope.”
“That’s a lie,” he said, stepping closer. The scent of sweat and clean soap clung to him, his bare chest still glistening from exertion. “You’ve been dodging me for weeks.”
Your jaw flexed. “I’ve just been busy.”
“Bullshit.” He tilted his head, eyes sharp. “You’re avoiding me, and I want to know why. If I screwed up, tell me. Don’t just give me a cold shoulder and pretend I don't notice.”
You let out a humorless laugh. “It’s not that you screwed up, Grayson. It’s that my powers make it really hard to be around you without—” You cut yourself off, realizing you were about to confess that you’d seen everything.
Without missing a beat, he smirked. “Without what?”
Your pulse spiked. “Without getting distracted.”
Something flickered in his eyes. Surprise, then slow, predatory amusement. He stepped until his chest brushed yours, the heat of his body making your brain short-circuit. “Distracted by what exactly?”
You clenched your fists, eyes darting anywhere but him. “You know what.”
“Oh,” he said, grin widening. “I think I do.” His hand slid to your hip, pulling you closer. “You’ve got x-ray vision, right? So you’ve seen it.”
Your breath hitched. “Maybe.”
“Maybe?” His voice was a low purr now. “You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder because you can’t stop thinking about me naked?”
That was all it took to break weeks of pent up frustration. The moment your lips crashed against his, Dick’s breath hitched in surprise, then melted into a deep, hungry groan. You didn’t give him room to breathe, one hand tangled in the short dark hair at the back of his head, the other gripping his bare hip and yanking him closer until he was straddling your lap completely.
You could feel him through the thin material of his suit bottoms, hard and pressing insistently against you. Every flex of his thighs sent your self-control spiraling.
“Fuck—” he gasped between kisses, pulling back just enough to smirk. “So this is what you’ve been avoiding?”
You didn’t answer. You just hooked your fingers into the waistband of his suit and yanked it down, revealing exactly what you’d been torturing yourself over for weeks. He was thick, flushed, and already dripping.
Your smirk made him flush harder.
“Goddamn, Grayson,” you muttered, wrapping your hand around him and stroking slow just to watch him squirm. “You really have no idea what you’ve been doing to me.”
He bit his lip, hips bucking into your grip. “Then stop talking and—”
You shoved him back against the lockers mid-sentence, standing to tower over him. He didn’t even have time to protest before you were kissing him again, hard enough to make his head thunk against the metal. Your other hand slid down to cup the perfect curve of his ass—yes, the one you’d been obsessing over—and grabbed a fistful of it as if staking a claim.
Dick groaned, his hands flying up to your shoulders, nails dragging down your back. You manhandled him onto the bench, pushing him to sit while you knelt between his spread knees.
The first slow drag of your tongue from base to tip had him throwing his head back, a strangled noise ripping from his throat. You wrapped your lips around him and sucked deep, bobbing your head until you could feel him throbbing against your tongue.
“Shit—fuck—” His fingers threaded into your hair, pulling tight, but you grabbed his wrists and pinned them to his sides. You set the pace, taking him in until your nose brushed his skin, pulling back just to watch his face twist with desperation.
When you finally pulled off, he was flushed, panting, and staring at you like he wanted to devour you. “Get up.” you ordered, voice rough.
He obeyed instantly. You shoved him forward, bending him over the bench. His bare ass was right there in front of you, perfect and infuriatingly tempting. You palmed it roughly, kneading, spreading him open until he shivered.
“Always knew it was perfect.” you muttered, and then you were spitting into your hand, slicking yourself up before pressing the tip against him. He looked over his shoulder, eyes blown wide, mouth parted in a needy gasp.
“Do it.”
You pushed in slow, savoring the way his body stretched to take you, every inch sinking deeper until your hips were flush against him. He moaned, clutching the bench so hard his knuckles went white.
Once you were buried to the hilt, you didn’t hold back. Your hips snapped forward, hard and fast, each thrust making the bench creak under the force. Dick’s voice was a mess of gasps, moans, and broken curses, echoing off the tiled walls.
You leaned over him, one hand gripping his jaw and forcing his head back so you could kiss him while you fucked into him. “This what you wanted, Grayson? Weeks of teasing me for this?”
“Yes—fuck—harder.” he panted, pushing back against you.
You gave him exactly what he asked for, driving into him until your thighs burned. Every thrust hit deep, making him cry out. Your hand slid down to wrap around his cock, stroking in time with your hips until he was shaking under you.
“Gonna—fuck—I’m—”
“Do it.” you growled against his ear, pounding him through it. He came hard in your fist, spilling over your knuckles, body trembling. You didn’t stop, fucking him through his orgasm until you followed, spilling deep inside him with a groan.
You stayed there for a moment, both of you catching your breath, sweat-slick and shaking. Finally, you pulled out, watching your cum drip down his thighs before you smacked his ass, making him jolt.
“Next time,” you said, smirking as you grabbed his chin and kissed him again, “stop making me work so hard for it.”
He laughed breathlessly, still bent over. “Where’s the fun in that?”

SYNOPSIS ➢ Stuck in student debts from your nursing school had you reaching out to more drastic measures, which meant signing up to be a sugar baby to none other than the Doctor Jack Abbot. Of course, you have no idea you’re working at the same hospital and thus never expect to meet up. However, it all comes to a head when you’re called down to the ER and sees a very familiar man in a SWAT uniform.
CONTENT WARNING ➢ no use of y/n, YEARNING, fluff, angst, panic attack (probably very incorrect), reader is mentioned to have muscles, age gap, jack calls reader ‘kid’, slightly ooc Jack, hurt then comfort, sexual innuendos, flirting, sexual tension, bad descriptions of hospital stuff

AUTHORS NOTE ➢ as you can see, I absolutely RAN away with this although it is not exactly like the request, because the way the story flowed just worked out differently than what had been requested, but I hope I did it justice anyhow. I don’t like the end so much, because at that point I just wanted to be done with it, but hope it’s up to your standards anyhow!
MASTERLIST, TAGLIST
FEMALE DNI !!!
You had never meant for it to get anywhere, to be something other than a way for you to earn some extra cash alongside your work. Student debt was killing you, but that was nothing new. It was killing all of the other nurses, as well. Still, it would have been nice to afford a proper meal at least once a day.
You mentioned it to a buddy of yours who off handedly suggested you start selling feet pictures. He was joking, of course. You hoped he was.
But it got you thinking of another friend who had gotten a sugar daddy and was now living life without any worries of her student loans. Gods, you would have lied if you said you hadn’t been jealous. So you reached out to her and she directed you to the site she had used, which was an immediate shock. Here, you could see multiple entries posted by sugar daddies and mommies alike, all of them in various ages and requirements for their sugar baby. You hesitantly filled out your own profile to be put on the site so others could see you.
Suddenly, it seemed too much. You didn’t want to compromise yourself or your body just for money. No offence to those who do, but a pit in your stomach told you that it wouldn’t be worth it.
Before you had a chance to close the site, you had gotten a message.
Your eyes flitted to the edge of the screen, a small pop-up message showing that a ‘Jack’ had written to you. Curious despite yourself, you clicked on his profile. There was no picture, weirdly enough. You couldn’t blame him, though, as you had also chosen to refrain from using a picture. You didn’t want any random people finding you or recognising you. Your name, you could handle people knowing, but your face was uniquely yours. You supposed this Jack felt the same way, or according to his message, he did.
JACK
You also hesitant of these websites?
You paused, looking at his profile again. He had the ‘Sugar Daddy’ status, but nowhere did it say he was requiring anything sexual from you. It couldn’t hurt to reply, could it, right? Your fingers typed on your keyboard before you even had the chance to think about it.
YOU
Yeah, is it that obvious?
He responded immediately, and it almost made you chuckle. This guy must really want to write with you.
JACK
Takes one to know one, I suppose.
YOU
What?
Sceptical and cynical?
JACK
You could say that.
YOU
What are you doing here then?
JACK
My therapist said I needed a hobby.
YOU
Funny.
JACK
I’ve heard I have a great sense of humour.
YOU
You’re not at all what I was expecting from a man on this site.
JACK
What were you expecting?
A creepy guy only wanting to jack off to younger men?
YOU
Kind of, how do I know you’re not one of those creepy guys?
JACK
For one, I am not asking for anything like that.
I respect whatever your wishes are.
YOU
What are you asking for then?
JACK
Company I guess.
YOU
What, the people in your life aren’t company enough?”
JACK
What is this, a job interview?
YOU
Well, kind of.
Since I am the one who will get paid in this.
JACK
Touché.
But then shouldn’t I be the one asking the questions huh?
YOU
Guess you’re right, but it’s so much more fun if I am asking them.
JACK
Fun for you maybe.
YOU
Exactly.
JACK
Okay. To be honest, I guess I’m a bit lonely.
I don’t have a lot of time for people outside of my work and when I’m working all I’m thinking about is, well, work.
YOU
So you are still working? What do you do?
JACK
Of course, how old do you think I am?
YOU
Do you honestly want me to answer that?
JACK
Now that’s just rude.
And I’m a doctor.
Pays pretty well you know.
YOU
That’s impressive.
What position?
JACK
Attending physician at the ER.
Not a lot of people ask for what position you work as when you say you’re a doctor.
You in the medical field yourself?
YOU
Hmmm, I’m not sure I should tell anything personal about myself to a stranger.
JACK
I told you, man.
YOU
Well maybe you have less self preservation than I do.
And here I thought with age comes wisdom.
JACK
Good one.
Maybe I want to get to know you.
YOU
I hope you know that no matter wherever this goes, we will never actually meet.
JACK
Wasn’t counting on it.
Like you said, I’m only a stranger.
And like I said, I respect your wishes, whatever they are.
YOU
And you’re willing to pay me to just talk to you? Nothing else?
JACK
Yeah, nothing else.
I promise.
YOU
It seems too good to be true.
Why?
JACK
Listen kid, I respect how careful you are.
The truth is I don’t have anything good to else spend it on and I like taking care of people.
Probably why I’m a doctor.
YOU
Sounds about right.
But why me specifically?
Unless you have a group of younger guys you’re entertaining on the side?
JACK
Oh god no.
You’re the only one.
YOU
I must be special, then.
JACK
Kinda.
I mean you are the only one I’ve properly written to on this website.
You seem interesting.
YOU
If you are trying to flatter me then you’ll have to come up with a better compliment than that.
JACK
If I’m the one paying you shouldn’t you be the one complimenting me?
YOU
Maybe when I find something worthy to compliment.
JACK
You’re funny.
YOU
I try.
Listen, I hate to cut this short but I gotta go to work.
JACK
Wait before you go.
Give me your Venmo info.
YOU
Why?
JACK
How else do you expect me to send the money?
Now come on.
YOU
Well, thank you.
JACK
It’s my pleasure, kid.
Until next time.
You watched with awe as you get a notification from Venmo that five hundred dollars had been deposited into your account. This guy must really want this agreement with you to spend that much only on the first conversation. You weren’t one to complain, however, as you could finally treat yourself to a good meal. Thank fuck to whoever this Jack was, and thank fuck that your friend had set you up with the site.
Over the next few days, you got to know him better as you conversed. You had told him that you worked in paediatrics as a nurse, and you learnt that he worked nights, which left you little option when to message him, mostly before your shift, when his was ending, and after yours, when he had just woken up. He was easy to talk to and you enjoyed his sarcastic humour.
And he kept his promise, never pressuring you into doing anything more. However, you had noticed that Jack would occasionally address you with something that wasn’t strictly platonic but also not forthcoming enough to be discernible as flirting. But you would be lying if you said you weren’t flirting back.
It was simple and he was easy-going, and charming. Whatever ego Jack has, he wore it real well. He was cocky but not arrogant, and a little self-deprecating. And gods did he know how to bring a stupid smile to your face. Your conversation flowed easily enough that you didn’t even have to think about what to respond to him.
You still couldn’t help but wonder why he had chosen to talk to you, out of all the other applicants, who actually were willing to do more than platonic stuff.
You chose to ask him that a week later, one night after your shift, when you had arrived home and successfully crashed on your bed.
YOU
I still can’t really get over why you chose to talk to me specifically.
I mean, I’m sure there are lots of other guys vying for your attention?
His reply came only a few minutes later. He had told you that he worked nights, so you guessed he was writing to you in between patients.
JACK
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
And none are anywhere near as interesting as you.
YOU
Still, my point stands.
JACK
Are we not done with the twenty questions yet?
Thought I showed I was serious about this arrangement.
YOU
OK, that’s fair.
I’ll stop.
JACK
You are terrible at letting up control.
Let me take care of you.
YOU
I just feel bad because I’m getting so much from this and all you’re getting is sucky conversation from me.
JACK
You better step it up then, kid.
I told you I’d be expecting compliments.
YOU
Wow.
JACK
I’m only pulling your leg.
Don’t sell yourself so short.
You’re really great.
I enjoy talking to you.
YOU
Thank you.
I also enjoy talking to you.
JACK
Look at that, I knew you could take a compliment.
I’m proud.
You couldn’t help the small smile that spread across your lips. Damn Jack and his easy charm.
YOU
Maybe because this one was actually good.
JACK
There’s more where that’s coming from.
YOU
Shut up.
JACK
Unfortunately I don’t know how to.
YOU
Damn, guess I’m stuck with you then.
JACK
Guess you are.
YOU
It’s not the worst thing in the world.
JACK
High praise.
You really know how to warm a guy’s heart.
YOU
What can I say? I’m a charmer.
JACK
Oh I bet you are.
He was just so effortless in the way he spoke and complimented you that hadn’t you previously agreed to keep this professional between you two, you would have seriously thought there were something between you. The thought didn’t exactly displease you. Of course, you had no way of knowing if he even wanted more. His profile was suspiciously empty of any sexual wishes for his sugar baby and he had said he wasn’t expecting anything of the sort. Maybe he was the one who didn’t want anything non-platonic and was just acting under the guise of respecting your wishes to stay professional. Maybe you were the one who was going too far, flirting and acting this casual with him, perhaps even making him uncomfortable.
Fuck, the thought filled you with dread. Not only because you’d grown to care about Jack over the past couple of weeks enough to worry about making him feel uncomfortable, but also because this was technically supposed to be a business agreement. He was your client and you were making money from this. The agreement had been clear and you couldn’t let Jack’s personality lead you astray from that.
He had wanted company and conversation. It wasn’t his fault that it happened to make something stir within you, just by him being himself. You cursed yourself for letting yourself get in the way of yourself. Jack’s a good guy, genuinely caring and thoughtful, and he wanted to take care of you, so you couldn’t let anything ruin that what you had.
He just made it so fucking hard when he was such a gentleman.
YOU
Hey, is there any possibility I could get an advance on this week?
The notification of your Venmo came before the notification of Jack’s reply and you inwardly cringed of how readily he sent you the money, without a second thought even. You knew he made more money than he had use for and was more than happy to spend it on you, but his willingness to help you still made your heart skip a beat.
JACK
Of course.
What gives?
YOU
Just got in a bit of a bind.
Needed the money quickly.
JACK
Anything more I can do to help?
YOU
You don’t have to do that, you know.
JACK
Do what?
YOU
You know, care so much.
JACK
How do you mean?
YOU
This is a professional relationship and you’re technically my client, Jack.
Please feel no obligation to do any more than you want to.
JACK
Well then, I want to.
Simple as that, kid.
You rubbed a hand over the bridge of your nose, sighing in frustration. How was it that Jack managed to solve your problems that easily at the same time as he caused new ones? Because how were you supposed to maintain a professional relationship with him when he went around saying shit like that? He both infuriated and made you joyous at the same time.
Any hope of avoiding any growing feelings would have meant to avoid talking to Jack altogether, but that was impossible since your agreement meant literal conversation, and because Jack was impossible not to talk to. You kept your back and forth, messages sent between shifts and breaks, whenever you had the time over the next month. When you needed him, he was always there.
YOU
Hey do you have a minute?
You don’t have to pay me for it.
JACK
Of course, is everything okay?
YOU
Yeah, I just needed a distraction.
JACK
And you came to me? I’m flattered.
YOU
Shut up.
JACK
Wouldn’t dream of it.
Are you sure you’re alright?
YOU
No. I’m not.
I lost a patient at work today. A kid.
I guess it just hit me heavier than I thought.
JACK
Hey that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
We’ve all had those days where things feel a bit too tough to handle.
You just gotta remember that none of this is your fault.
You did the best you could but sometimes that isn’t enough.
YOU
I know you’re right but it’s hard not to feel like this one is on me.
JACK
I know you are terrible at letting up control but you gotta trust me on this.
All you can do is focus on the medicine.
The medicine is the only thing that saves the patient.
And your sanity.
You are excellent and there was nothing more you could do.
YOU
Thank you, Jack.
It means a lot coming from you.
JACK
Anytime.
Remember to breathe and try to take it easy.
Even nurses deserve breaks you know.
YOU
And god do we need it.
I’ll try, but with the way people are getting hurt I can’t see me getting a break anytime soon.
JACK
I hear you there.
Hey I sent a little something as a pick-me-up. Enjoy it.
YOU
I told you you didn’t have to do that.
JACK
And I told you that I want to take care of you.
Accept it and shut up.
YOU
Sir, yes, sir.
It felt good to confide in someone like this. He could relate to the feelings and trauma that came with working at a hospital; that, sure, you saved and helped a lot of people, but you weren’t magicians. There were bound to be people you couldn’t save. Every hospital worker learnt not to take it personally,
Like Jack, you worked a lot of long shifts after each other, rarely having a free day for yourself. It didn’t exactly allow you to socialise or make friends with a lot of people outside of your work. You supposed you and Jack had that in common.
He, however, liked to keep much busier than you. Since he worked nights, you had figured he would sleep most of the day, but no, he was just as quick to respond to your messages during the day as he was in between your shifts. You started to suspect that he didn’t sleep much, since he had also mentioned he usually tries to keep tabs on the police scanner he owned in case of any emergency. You had asked if he had anything outside of saving lives to keep him busy and he had suspiciously avoided the question with a clever quip. So, you decided not to push it, allowing him to share however much he wanted to with you.
Eventually, you exchanged numbers with him, when you felt that you were more comfortable with him. Despite yourself, you had grown to trust this man, with his easy remarks and charm, disregarding all the safety measures surrounding strangers your mum had drilled into you since an early age. Jack wasn’t just a stranger anymore, but someone who you could confide in, trust with your doubts, and who could easily cheer you up with a simple message.
JACK
Buy yourself something pretty alright?
You smiled when you saw the text, currently out shopping for things you needed. However, he changed that, and you decided to go get something you wanted. A nice top that fit your torso nicely. You took a quick picture in the dressing room, showing how the shirt wrapped around you, accentuating your muscles. Your face was still hidden, however, so you figured it would be safe to send to Jack.
YOU
[ATTACHMENT: 1 Photo]
This pretty enough?
JACK
Very.
That caused a smile to spread across your lips. You weren’t sure if he intended for it to have the effect on you that it did. It felt like he was flirting, but it could also be part of his natural charm. You didn’t want to be the guy who misinterpreted every interaction and thought he was into you when he wasn’t so you didn’t dare say anything. But you couldn’t help but play along.
Especially when you started calling, two and a half months in, and you heard his voice for the first time.
“Hey.” He said it almost like a whisper and he sounded almost out of breath, as if he was nervous? That couldn’t possibly be the case, however. You were probably just imagining it.
“Hey, Jack.”
Fuck, his voice was amazing. It was all melodic and low, sounding as if it came from deep in his chest, a light rumble to it. You couldn’t help but imagine all the things that voice could tell you.
“Feels weird actually talking now that we’ve been writing for so long, huh?” he said, and you nodded subconsciously.
“Weird is one word for it,” you agreed with a light chuckle.
“Don’t tell me you’re regretting it now,” came his quick reply.
You scoffed. “No, fuck, that’s not what I meant.”
“What did you mean then?” he asked. Perhaps you were imagining it, but you thought you could hear a teasing tone to his voice, almost as if he knew exactly what you meant but wanted you to hear it for himself.
“You know, you’re just as annoying to talk to as you are in writing.” Despite your words, a small smile formed across your lips.
“So I’ve heard.”
“It’s a wonder I’m still talking to you,” you muttered.
“And every day I thank God for that.”
You tilted your head, frowning. He didn’t peg you for a religious man, but you never knew. “You’re religious, Jack?”
“Not one bit.”
“Hmm.”
“Have I told you you have a very pretty voice?” Jack asked, a sweet roll to his voice. It was the most beautiful thing you had heard and you were sure he was aware of it.
That made something in your stomach flip. Stop it, you were scolding yourself. Jack had been the one that told you that what the two of you had was strictly platonic and professional. He was respecting your wishes, and you had to respect his. Still, with the way he was speaking to you, it was difficult to keep your heart in check.
“You have not, no,” you breathed out, careful not to let your voice shake with nervousness.
“Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to?”
“Hmm, maybe.”
“God, you’re an ass,” you said, laughing lightly.
“I like to refer to it as my charm.” God, he sounded smug. Somehow that made him even more attractive.
“Hmm, don’t know if I would call it charming.” Yes, you would. But no way were you going to admit that to Jack.
“I would.”
“I know, Jack.”
You heard how he took a deep breath on the other side of the call, the silence being filled by his slow exhale, before he spoke. “You know, I do love hearing you say my name after all this time.”
You weren’t sure how to respond to that except for with a witty remark, “Sure you do,” effectively letting the matter drop.
———
Jack was a busy man.
Anyone who knew him knew that, and there weren’t a lot of people who did know him for that matter. You had been recently added to that list, with the amount of time he spent texting and calling you.
He liked to work as much as he could, usually sticking to the night shifts but occasionally taking on a double or jumping in during the day when he was needed. And even when he was free, he liked to stay at home listening to the police scanner he had or going with his buddy’s SWAT team as their field medic. He liked to do as much as he could. Robby had called it an addiction of his.
Jack knew he was right, and so was his therapist when he had told him that he needed to find something else outside of work and outside of SWAT. He also realised that he was lonely, because all the people he conversed with were tied to those two.
He knew he didn’t need a lot, but someone who he could bond with outside of it and perhaps care for. Ever since the death of his wife, he had missed having someone to take care of. He had a ton of disposable income that did nothing but collect interest in his bank account so he might as well spend that on someone, he thought. He knew that he’s not in the right place to meet someone the old fashioned way, and after seeing an advert for sugar babies, he went that route.
Jack felt hesitant to do that, though. It felt perverted to use his money to require sexual favours of a younger person, like he saw other sugar daddies and mommies do on the website he had found. Could he put in no requirements to his page? All he wanted was company and conversation to feel less lonely. That’s why he didn’t see a point in putting a photo up either. Since he didn’t want someone to talk to him merely because of his looks, but rather someone who could match him in conversation.
That’s when he found you, a younger man who seemed decent enough based on his profile, but it was hard to tell because like him, you had no profile picture. You had also specified that you would not engage in any sexual activities as your role of a sugar baby, so he thought he might as well shoot you a message. It couldn’t hurt, right?
From the very first message, Jack found himself interested in you. You matched him easily in his banter, had fun quips ready to respond to his, and he found that he had fun talking to you. Despite the unnatural arrangement of him paying you for conversation, it felt weirdly natural between the two of you.
As time went on, your messages developed from the regular get-to-know conversations to more banter and comments that bordered on flirty. Jack couldn’t ignore it, the pull he felt towards you, and he couldn’t help but indulge in it. It was just too easy to compliment you, or tease you, because your personality drew him in with something he hadn’t felt in a really long time.
He found himself telling you things he didn’t tell a lot of other people, some things even Robby didn’t know about. Jack told you about his past; his time as a war physician, his leg that had gotten amputated, his late wife. You took it all in stride and somehow it didn’t feel awkward after he’d told you, like it did with most people, but he rather felt much lighter in the chest. However, he did not tell you about his problems sleeping, at keeping the trauma at bay, because he didn’t want to worry you. In truth, he didn’t want to be a bother.
It was ironic that he wanted you to be able to rely on him, so he could take care of you, but he was afraid of being a burden to you. So, instead, he usually sent you small comments each day, updates about his shifts or his coworkers, or just little observations about you. He could talk to you for hours if you’d let him.
You had told him about starting a new job soon. You’d still be a paediatric nurse, but it was in a new hospital because your last one hadn’t treated you so well, is what you had said. You hadn’t shared which hospital it was, and Jack hadn’t pried. It wasn’t like he wasn’t curious, because he was—when it came to you, he wanted to know practically everything he could—but he didn’t want to force any information you weren’t willing to give up. And you had made it clear that you weren’t ever going to meet, so what was the point? He couldn’t pretend that he wasn’t the slightest bit of disappointed by that fact, but he refused to let it cloud his relationship with you.
It got you talking about your jobs one afternoon, almost three months in.
JACK
I don’t think I could ever do pedes.
I tried it during my MS days, but it’s way too boring for me.
YOU
Hey, watch your words, old man.
JACK
Oh I know you’re not calling me old man, kid.
YOU
Keep running your mouth and I will keep calling you that.
JACK
Okay, sorry. It’s way too…
Advanced for me.
YOU
OK, now you’re just being patronising.
JACK
Alright, let’s just say it’s not for me.
Don’t get me wrong, I do like kids.
But there’s something about how busy the ER gets that keeps me coming back.
YOU
And that’s fine.
I love pedes because it’s so much calmer. The ER stresses me out.
And well, kids can be really sweet.
It’s just like night shifts are not for me.
They sound brutal, I don’t know how you do them.
JACK
My therapist thinks I find comfort in the darkness.
I like nights. Don’t you?
YOU
OK Batman.
I like sleeping through them.
JACK
I can’t argue with that.
YOU
Damn right you can’t.
I’m sorry, Jack, no matter how much I like you my bed will always be my #1.
His heart skipped a beat at that. You liked him, you had said. Then he shook his head, mentally berating himself. No, you had merely meant platonically that you liked him—nothing more than that. You had made it painfully clear that you wanted this relationship to stay professional, despite his unconscious attempts at flirting. He couldn’t help it! You were just too easy to compliment.
JACK
That’s hurtful, you know?
YOU
You can handle it.
JACK
I’m not so sure, I might need some reassurance now.
YOU
I think you’re being a baby.
But, sure.

What you had sent had Jack choking on a breath, his eyes flitting over the phone screen in rapid movements. He could feel the beating of his heart as he took in the view before him. What you had sent him was a picture of your chest, your skin revealed by the top buttons of your shirt being unbuttoned, and your throat adorned by a silver chain. It wasn’t even that revealing—Jack saw plenty of undressed guys at work every night—but something about the thought of you posing for him to see this made his stomach tighten.
JACK
You must be an amazing nurse because I’m suddenly all better.
Maybe he had read you wrong—or, well, right. Maybe you did want something more with him, despite what you had said. Or, were you only sending that because you felt pressured by him? Oh god.
He rubbed a hand over his neck, closing his eyes. Had he been too forward, too much? Had he made you feel so uncomfortable you felt you had to play along with him in order to still receive the money? The knot in his stomach wasn’t from happiness anymore, but now from worry. He silently cursed himself. You had made it so clear to him and still he kept walking that line between flirtatious and platonic because he couldn’t keep his damn feelings in check. Sure, he was a flirt by nature, but you managed to draw it out of him so easily, and he wanted to with you.
Jack decided to try to keep himself in check from now on, despite how difficult it would be.
———
Today was the day: the day you started at your new job.
You were slightly nervous, seeing as this hospital seemed much better than your last and you really wanted to keep this job, so you couldn’t fuck up. Despite their ER being nicknamed ‘The Pitt’, you were impressed by their stats and by the few members of staff you had met at your interview. And besides, you weren’t going to be working in the ER, but in the paediatrics department.
A message from Jack and you smiling at your phone. Somehow, he knew you would be nervous for this without even having to tell him anything. That’s how well he knew you.
JACK
Hey kid, good luck today.
I know you’ll knock it out of the park.
YOU
Thank you, Jack.
The message ended up not being needed, since your first day went swimmingly. You decided against telling Jack that, though, because any praise or encouragement was more than welcome from him.
To be honest, anything he sent was more than welcome. Usually it was banter, a flirty comment here and there that never failed to put a smile to your face and made you question the nature of your relationship, or some updates from his work and the occasional gossip about his colleagues. Sometimes it were heavier things, like things from his past that made you frown with sympathy for him, because no one deserved to have gone through all that. But it never got heavier than that.
That’s why it came as such a surprise when he called you in the middle of the day when you were at work, his breathing uneven and words clipped with a cadence that you didn’t usually hear from him.
“Hey, I— I’m sorry, it’s… fuck!” he started, then coughed. “I’m bothering you—”
You immediately put down what you were doing, rushing to go into an empty room. “You’re not bothering me, what’s up?”
“I—I just, fuck. I can’t—” He was breathing heavier now, sounding as if he was gasping for air but unable to take any in.
“Oh shit, Jack. Jack, listen to me. Just breathe. Hey, focus on me,” you tried, calming your voice to the one you usually used for patients in distress. Jack needed you, and that was all you needed to know for you to enter a deep state of focus.
“I can’t breathe, I can’t—”
“Yes, you can,” you interrupted him. “Listen to me, I know you can do this. Just focus on my voice. Breathe in…and breathe out. Slowly. And again. In… and out…”
There were several minutes of silence, the only sounds being Jack’s breathing on the other side of the line. They were ragged, heavy and deep, with quiet sobs accompanying them every once in a while. You waited patiently, a steady presence for him to lean on. You only wished you could do more for him.
When the breathing had gotten quieter on his end you dared speak again. “Jack, how’re you doing?
“Uh, better. Not great.” His voice sounded like full of gravel, thick with unshed tears and sobs that he seemed to be choking down.
“Okay, that’s something,” you said. You took a breath before asking, “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?”
Jack sniffled. “I, uh, had a pretty bad dream. From the war.”
Ah.
“I was back there, and, um, I was getting shot at and, uh, shit, and—” His voice was getting unstable again, his words quivering as he got worked up again. You interrupted him before he had the chance to.
“Hey, it’s okay, you don’t have to explain more,” you said.
You heard a small laugh come out of him. “I just, fuck, all I could think about when I woke up was you.”
His voice sounded pained and heavy with memories of his time as a soldier and you could only imagine the trauma he carried with him from it. A stab of pain shot within you in empathy for him. A sudden urge to be there, physically, with him to be able to hug and hold him better.
“Listen, Jack, it’s OK,” you said, trying to stop any oncoming protests from him.
It didn’t work. “I’m sorry,” he breathed. “I know this is far beyond what our agreement was—”
“I don’t mind, seriously. I like being here for you.” You said the last part especially slow so that he could really understand how much you meant those words. You don’t even think you had known how much you meant them before that moment, but now you did.
“Oh, thank God.” He let out a relieved laugh, before sucking in a breath. “Don’t know what I would’ve done if you turned me down.”
A smile spread across your lips. “I would never do that.”
He cleared his throat and let out a small laugh. “I think I’m good to go now. I need to try to get some more sleep, and you should… go back to work?” His words were clipped and dismissive, as if he wasn’t telling the entire truth.
You frowned, but nodded. “Are you sure? Please, I don’t want you saying that just to not worry me.”
“I— thank you. But I am seriously alright,” Jack said, and you chose to believe him. “I’ll send the money later. Thank you.”
That made you pause. “Don’t you dare,” you said quickly.
“What?” came his shocked reply.
“Jack, you know I care about you,” you said, your shoulders relaxing. Did you really need to spell it out for him? “Let me be here for you, without the money.”
There was a small moment of quiet where you feared he wouldn’t respond. When he did, his voice was smaller, somehow. “Okay—I will talk to you later?”
“I can’t wait,” you chirped, smiling.
———
Jack was confused.
The way you had spoken to him and cared for him, without the expectation of money, made him feel all warm inside and as if your relationship had grown outside of your agreement. Maybe it wasn’t such a crazy thought to have. Jack found himself smiling more since he had begun talking to you and even imagining meeting you in real life, despite that you had said that would never happen on the very first day. He had to respect your wishes, because he was nothing if not a gentleman.
No longer was he only losing sleep because of the nightmares from the war, but he also found himself thinking about you. When he closed his eyes, all he could think about was how you would look and all he could hear was your voice, talking to him in that sweet way of yours. It kept him up, thinking about you, but he found that he didn’t mind one bit. Especially as it seemed that you were just as eager to talk to him as he was to talk to you.
YOU
I’ve been thinking.
JACK
Should I be worried?
YOU
Thinking about you.
JACK
Okay now that sounds more promising.
Can’t say I don’t think about you either.
YOU
I’m relieved to hear that.
Well, I’ve been wondering what you look like.
JACK
Wow is my sparkling personality not enough?
You need to see my handsome face as well to satisfy your needs?
YOU
I don’t know if I would describe your personality as sparkling.
JACK
You didn’t deny about the handsome face part.
YOU
I haven’t seen it yet so I can’t really judge, can I?
That was sorta the point.
JACK
No you don’t want to see this old face.
Surely it’s got nothing on yours.
YOU
I wouldn’t be so sure.
What Jack, are you shy?
JACK
I don’t get shy.
YOU
Time to put your money where your mouth is, then.
I’ve heard your voice and if you look anything like how you sound I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.
A warmth that had nothing with the actual temperature in his apartment spread across his body, feeling it colour his cheeks. How could you say those sort of things and not expect them to affect him? There was no way you weren’t aware at this point, but the thought that you were aware and still did it made his cheek grow even warmer. Fuck, what were you doing to him? And he hadn’t even seen you or met you! Not that he would ever do the latter thing, anyway.
JACK
Jeez I knew you were a charmer but not like this.
YOU
That isn’t a no.
JACK
Fine.
But only if you also send a photo of yourself.
This is an equal partnership you know.
YOU
That sounds fair, but you first since I asked first.
JACK
If you insist.
[ATTACHMENT: 1 Photo]
It felt as if the beating of his heart thundered in his throat as he stared at the three dots on his screen. Despite his usual confidence, Jack was scared. He knew that he was good looking, if all the comments he had received over the years was anything to go by. But he felt an unusual sense of nervousness at the thought that you would finally see what he looked like and reject him—which was ridiculous, but still he couldn’t help it. He wanted so badly for you to think he looked good, because the alternative was too scary.
YOU
You have freckles.
JACK
How did you know that’s exactly what I wanted to hear?
YOU
Sorry, I just wasn’t expecting it.
It suits you.
JACK
Thanks? I hope.
YOU
Yes, it’s a compliment.
Thought you wanted more of them. Now take it.
JACK
Wow bossy.
I kind of like it.
YOU
What can I say?
I have many sides.
JACK
I can’t wait to see them all.
Now you go.
YOU
Since you asked so nicely.
[ATTACHMENT: 1 Photo]
Can’t wait to hear all your compliments now.
Fuck, Jack thought as he stared at the photo you had sent. He felt the threads that kept him together so carefully start to unravel, because it couldn’t be, could it? But he knew he was lying to himself, trying to convince himself that what he was seeing wasn’t true. There was no doubt about it, it was you. The same nurse he had caught a glimpse of in the hallways a few days ago at the Pitt. He had thought you were handsome, his eyes following your movements, and of course Robby had teased him about it.
But now that it meant that the guy he had been talking to and grown closer with over the better part of three months, who he was effectively dreaming and thinking about every free moment he had, who could put a smile to his face much easier than anybody else he knew, and who he had made peace with never meeting, was the same guy he was looking forward to seeing on the rare chance he’d come to the ER. Which meant that you could be meeting, which he was sure you did not want. Sure, you could have been flirting with him this entire time, but you had made it painfully clear that you did not want to meet up.
YOU
Jack?
Hello?
OK, I was only joking, you know?
Fuck, what was he supposed to do with this now? He couldn’t ignore you and he couldn’t lie about the fact that he knew you worked at the same hospital as him.
A reminder popped up on his phone that his SWAT shift was starting soon and he cursed. He didn’t have time to think through what to say to you, but figured he would respond later when he was free. Jack thought that he could use the time on his shift to figure out what to respond with.
———
Fuck.
That was the first thought that flew through your mind.
First it had been because of finally seeing Jack’s face because, unfortunately, he was unfairly attractive despite his older age. Second, it had been because he wasn’t responding to any of your messages.
What the fuck was Jack thinking, leaving you on seen like that? You had sent your picture, just like he had, and then he didn’t respond? Did he not know the effect he had on you? This was something that could easily send you spiralling, and it would have, had you not been called in for work.
It was looking to be a busy 4th of July, but without any other plans you might as well work and earn some extra pay. If nothing else, it would also keep your mind off of Jack and his lack of reply.
You had finally seen the looks of him and he was the very picture of handsome silver fox, someone you would dream about had you met them for real. The fact that the sarcastic and funny guy you had gotten to know the last three months was someone this good looking sent your mind spiralling somewhere too far for you to reach right now.
So, you did the only thing you could: put on some gloves and got to work.
You had been right, it was a busy day. Other than the normal chaos of a holiday, it was unusually hot today and Westbridge hospital had been closed down as well, so the PTMC was taking the brunt of it. It was difficult to keep track of everything amidst the chaos. A the beginning of your shift, you had gotten a call from the ER that they had a baby Jane Doe who needed tending, and despite your dislike for the ER you had gone down to check on her every once in a while throughout the day.
However, as you went down slightly after 12 PM, you were met with a sight you had not expected. You had just checked on the baby when you went to the reception to talk to Princess. Despite not working in the ER, it was difficult not to become friends with the other nurses here, as they were more than chatty and sometimes friendly..
A team in army uniforms, ‘POLICE’ written over their chests, rushed inside from the ambulance bay with a gurney carrying another one of them between them all. A figure you recognised as Dr. Robby moved to them immediately, looking to the man who was holding the ventilator balloon to the patient.
You followed his gaze and swore your heart stopped.
He was rattling off the words, looking increasingly stressed. “Intubated neck wound, sats not great. We were diverted here.” Then he turned to the reception, and you hoped against everything that he wouldn’t notice you. Luckily, he seemed to only briefly glance up and shout, “Is there a trauma room open?”
Princess pointed to a room to the right. “Trauma 1,” she replied.
As they all went into the trauma room, you felt your breath return to somewhat normal, the initial shock settling for something else. You had to be seeing things, right? It couldn’t be him.
But however much you tried to convince yourself, you knew you were wrong. Despite only having seen one picture of him, you knew you would recognise that man anywhere. It was the same salt and pepper curls, the same faint constellation of freckles smattered over his face, and that same voice. The voice you had so often heard on your calls with him and more often than not in your dreams about him, as well. And the fact that he was dressed in a SWAT uniform. It all checked out. There was no doubt on the matter. It was Jack.
You still had to make sure, however, so you turned to Princess and cocked your head to trauma room 1. “Who the fuck is that?” you asked.
She tilted her head to the side. “Who?”
“The guy in the military uniform.”
Her answer confirmed both your worst fears and your greatest hopes. “Oh, that’s Dr. Jack Abbot. He’s the attending on the night shift.” She glanced at your face, smirking smugly. “Smoke show, right?”
“Right. OK. Fucking great.” You nodded, absentmindedly, before turning to go back upstairs.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
You swore inwardly with every step that you took up the stairs. What were the chances, out of all the hospitals in America, or even in Pittsburgh, that Jack had to work at the very same as you? Technically, he had been working here longer than you, but that fact didn’t matter. All that mattered was that the man you had tried but effectively failed to get out of your head, was some kind of boss to you. Not directly, of course, since you answered to the paediatric department. But every once in a while, against your will, you would be called down to the ER when they were short-staffed, and that would put you under Jack.
You dragged a hand across your face, groaning. You couldn’t believe your luck, that the man you were practically dreaming about and definitely flirting with was your once-removed boss. Would you need to get HR involved? No, nothing had happened. Yet, a small part of your brain supplied helpfully. But you and Jack had agreed to never meet, so what you would do with this information now was as of yet unclear to you.
That was also when you remembered the fact that Jack had avoided answering to the photo you had sent him. You had never thought of yourself of ugly or anything of the sort, but maybe you just weren’t his type? Maybe that was the reason he hadn’t replied. The thought of then having to see him in person, knowing of all the times you had flirted with him and must have embarrassed yourself, mortified you beyond anything else. You weren’t sure if you could live with knowing the answer.
But not knowing was so much worse, you realised, and against your better judgment you stormed back down to the ER in search of him. You grabbed hold of the first nurse you saw, which happened to be Jesse.
“Hey, is Dr Abbot here?” you asked, trying to sound more cool than you felt.
He blinked at you before nodding. “I think I saw him go into Central 7.”
“Great, thanks,” you threw over your shoulder as you rushed in the direction.
Without allowing yourself a moment to hesitate, you threw open the door and pushed away the curtains. There, shirtless and tall, stood Jack Abbot in all of his glory. He had his back turned to you, showing off the broad muscles that rippled under his skin as he moved, as well as the constellations of freckles that extended across his shoulders and down his arms. God, he was in good shape, was the first thought that popped into your traitorous mind. The second being that there was a wound on his left shoulder, but that fact catalogued itself somewhere in the back of your brain in favour of the view of a shirtless Jack in front of you.
“Jack?” you said, before your brain had time to catch up with the fact that you were currently seeing him shirtless, of all things. “Oh, shit—” Here’s to first meetings, you supposed.
He turned around with a frown before his brows lifted in shock. “Yeah? Oh.”
You bit your lip, crossing your arms over your chest. Jack looked just as good from the front as he did from the back. You had to physically shake your head to rid your thoughts, focusing instead on meeting his eyes. God, he had a steady gaze, you realised. It was difficult not to feel put on the spot underneath it.
“Maybe I should be calling you Dr. Abbot, instead?” you asked, although rather unkindly.
Jack only nodded dumbly, his mouth still hanging open slightly.
You grimaced. “You know, for a man who can never seem to shut up you’re being unusually quiet.”
“Uhuh, well,” he croaked, his voice unusually unstable. Then he let a small smile lift the corner of his mouth. “I am just a bit caught off guard. What are you doing here?”
“I work here. Well, in pedes upstairs.” You gestured upwards, scoffing as if it was obvious.
“Right,” he replied, those beautiful hazel eyes narrowing at you. “What are you doing down here? Thought you said the ER stresses you out.”
“It does,” you said, frowning slightly. You were surprised he remembered that detail you had mentioned in passing. “You remember that?”
“Yeah, of course.” Something about those simple words twisted something in your stomach. The casualness that he said it with, as if it had been obvious that he would remember the small things you told him.
You cleared your throat, coming out of your thoughts to answer his earlier question. “Got an abandoned baby that I was called down to check on. The better question is what you’re doing here? As far as I’m aware, it’s not night.”
“Good solve, Sherlock.”
Even in person, Jack was quick to answer with a witty remark. Gods dammed his wit and his sarcasm and his humour. He was just as attractive in person as he was over the phone, if not more, and his intense stare made you want to avert your eyes. Was it always this intense, or did it just feel extra so under the circumstances?
“This is less than ideal,” he finally said after clearing his throat.
“Yeah,” you breathed out. You took in his shirtless torso, quickly looking away so that he wouldn’t notice your staring. “Do you want me to come back? Give you a moment?”
“No,” Jack replied with a small smile. He was sitting down now and putting forward medical supplies and bandages. “It’s okay.”
To avoid whatever that meant, you focused on the task his hands were doing, which also meant you had to keep your thoughts in check, because damn, even his hands were attractive. You cleared your throat. “What happened to you?
“Oh. Bullet grazed my vest,” he said simply, his eyes on his hands, as casual as if you had asked him about the weather.
“You got shot?”
“Shot at,” he corrected, eyes flitting up to yours. “It’s no big deal. I can take care of it myself.”
As Jack said that, you saw him reach a cotton swab with a lotion over his shoulder, struggling to get the angle right. After a few minutes of craning his neck, you sighed and stepped forward, relaxing from your tense posture.
“Let me help you,” you said, beginning to put on a pair of gloves.
His head turned in your direction as he grimaced, his hand gesturing as if to wave you away. “No, don’t worry about me, I’m fine.”
An eyebrow raised in his direction. “Now who’s the one being too stubborn to accept help. I’m a nurse, let me do my job.” You stepped around him, holding out your hand for him to give you the swab.
“A nurse in paediatrics,” Jack pointed out, but relented with a small sigh. The brief brush of your gloved fingers meeting his ungloved one caused shivers to travel up your arms, almost as if you had been shocked by electricity.
You scoffed. “That doesn’t matter. A wound is a wound.”
You began cleaning his wound, carefully inspecting him for any sign of discomfort. Instead, you only found how much more handsome he looked up close. You could see the small wrinkles on his forehead, the way his eyes stayed dutifully ahead of him, and his posture was as straight as a soldier’s. Not the only thing that remained from his war days, you thought as you sneaked a glance at his right leg. But it didn’t make him look old, no. He looked like a weathered man, with tons of stories held inside that pretty head of his.
Your thoughts went back to the conversation at hand, sighing as you swapped the cotton swab for another. “Y’know, I never pegged you for one to look down on other areas of medicine,” you mentioned.
“Sorry, I don’t,” he said, shrugging a bit as if bashful. “I’m just still surprised that I’m actually seeing you right now. That we’re finally meeting.”
You tilted your head. “You don’t sound so surprised.”
It took a second for him to answer, and it was with a grimace you could only half see has he turned his head away from you. “Well, I knew you worked here.”
You paused in your movements. What? “And you didn’t say anything? How long have you known?”
“Only found out when you sent your picture,” he admitted, craning his neck to meet your eye. “I recognised you.”
“What?”
“It’s hard to forget a face like yours.” Jack’s smirk was infectious and you had to fight your own from forming as he then shook his head. “Sorry, that was inappropriate.”
“No, um,” you cleared your throat, “what do you mean by that?”
Jack shrugged sheepishly. “Just that I noticed you, even before knowing that you are, well, you.”
“Oh,” was your only reply, continuing to clean his wound. “Well, I hope that’s a good thing.”
“Very.”
You could almost hear the smirk in his voice, that tone that you had gotten painfully familiar with over the past couple of months. And God was it a blessing to be able to see it now in person, finally witnessing how it made his eyes scrunch up in delight, wrinkles forming around them, and it made him look exactly as self assured as you had pictured during your long talks.
You ignored it in favour of putting down the cotton swab and beginning to dress his wound, clearing your throat at the same time.
“So, care to tell me the story behind this?” you asked, just to get away from his burning gaze.
Jack looked down into his lap, his smirk dropping. “Geniuses thought today was the day to rob a goods warehouse. Didn’t think about how long it would take to load the appliances. They panicked. All hell broke loose.”
You narrowed your eyes at him, applying the wound dressing. “Why do you do this?”
“My therapist said I needed a hobby,” he said as he shrugged.
You scoffed. “Thought that was the reason you reached out to me, remember?”
“I can have two hobbies.”
Your hands smoothed out the dressing before you removed the gloves and stepped around Jack, shaking your head. “Not if one is putting you under active fire.”
“Careful, it almost sounds like you care.”
When you looked at him you saw a tiny smirk playing on the edge of his lips. You averted your eyes from them, raising an eyebrow and humming a reply. As you turned around to walk away, Jack’s hand shot out to grab your wrist.
“Listen,” he started, letting go of your hand. You already missed the warmth from his skin. “I wanted to say sorry.”
“For what?” Your voice was carefully devoid of any emotion that he had managed to stir up in you.
“For not answering, earlier.”
You merely hummed as a reply.
His eyes looked up to you, now shadowed by a hint of guilt and sadness, not unlike the eyes of a puppy. It made something twist inside you, a twinge of guilt suddenly shooting inside you from the knowledge that you were the cause of it. “It wasn’t cool of me, I didn’t mean to worry you.”
“You didn’t worry me,” you said, way too quickly.
He ignored your words, still keeping that damned eye contact. “I should have just responded right away, but I wasn’t sure what to say. Or do. You said you didn’t want to meet, so…” He chuckled, sounding a bit unsure of his own words.
You tilted your head to the side, crossing your arms over your chest. “So, what, you figured you would keep it secret that we worked in the same hospital? Just so we’d never meet.”
“I didn’t want to make you uncomfortable,” Jack explained, a pleading tone now sneaking into his voice.
You sighed, rubbing a hand over your face. “Jack, I’ve told you. You could never make me uncomfortable.”
Something in his eyes lit into a spark. “Really?”
“Please,” you chuckled, glancing to the side with a hint of a smile. “The fact that you were ever worried… is kind of attractive.”
The words were out of your mouth before you could stop them. You closed your eyes in frustration and berated yourself. It was one thing to flirt over text, because that gave you plausible deniability. But admitting he was attractive after he had effectively ignored you for the better part of the day after had had finally seen your face, was something else. If he really wasn’t interested and you hadn’t chased him away yet, you would surely have done it now.
However, when you looked back to Jack, meeting his gaze, all you could see was the mirth in his eyes.
“You think so?” he asked, and that smug smirk was back on his face.
Your eyes narrowed at him, taking in the way he was leaning slightly forward and looking up into your eyes, all open and honest. There was something in the way he was looking at you that made your stomach twist, but not in a bad way, as if he knew something you didn’t. You didn’t know what, but it felt like the air had suddenly gotten heavier in the room, your shoulders tensing and lips pressing together.
That smug smile on his face made you roll your eyes. “Fuck off, you know you’re good-looking.”
Jack’s head tilted to the side, but his eyes never left yours. “Hmm, is that so? And do you find me that? Good looking?”
He was enjoying this more than he should. “Perhaps,” you said and shrugged, despite yourself. “Although I must say your picture does not quite make you justice.”
“Now, that’s a compliment.” His smile had widened, reaching his eyes as well and the sight was almost too much for you.
“I do know how to give compliments, y’know,” you said with a scoff.
“Would love to hear more of them,” Jack replied with small nod.
You gave him a meaningful glare. “Don’t know if your ego could take it.”
At that, his smile widened into a grin. “I can take more than you think.”
Your narrowed eyes met his smug ones and you had to fight the urge not to smile. He really had a reply to everything, this man. Then your eyes flitted down to his body, noticing the army pants he still wore, remembering how good he had looked in his SWAT uniform earlier.
“In that case,” you started, “you fill out that uniform quite well.”
“You should see me as a flight attendant,” Jack said. He didn’t miss a beat, his eyes still trained on you, eyes flitting all over your face.
“Mmm, bet.” When you noticed he wasn’t saying anything else, but merely staring at your face, you spoke again.“Jack.”
He nodded. “Mhm.”
“You’re staring.”
“I’m just looking,” he said, but he was definitely staring.
You lifted an eyebrow at him, taking in the way he was staring at you. More than once, you had noticed how his eyes flitted down to your lips and that made your stomach fill with warmth. “No, you’re looking at me as if…”
“As if what?” he asked, head tilted but that smile on his face that told you he knew exactly what you meant.
“No, forget it,” you countered, ever so stubborn.
Jack stood up, now looking at you from your eye-level. “Tell me.”
You tried to discern whatever he was trying to say behind those eyes, but all you could see was a hint of teasing and hopefulness in them, as if wanted you to say exactly what you were thinking. Could he really want the same thing as you, even after all this time?
You furrowed your brows but finally said what was on your mind. “As if you wanna kiss me.”
“Would that be so bad?” His smile formed into something kinder, softer, as he took a step closer.
You shook your head before your mouth had a chance to catch up. “No, not really.”
“In that case, may I?” he asked, as one hand reached out to caress your cheek, the other landing on your small back. Your arms uncrossed themselves to grab his arms and the nape of his neck. You couldn’t help the laugh that escaped you at his question—the fact that he even had to ask.
“We’re at work,” you whispered, despite wanting to relent and press into him with all that you had.
Jack closed his eyes in frustration, forehead pressed against yours. He was so close, yet so far away…
“Fuck,” he muttered. Despite all his feelings for you and the desire to do nothing else than press you up against a wall right there and then, he still had some sort of decorum and professionalism in him. But when he gazed at you, looking so handsome in his arms, his resolve started to dissolve bit by bit. “I’m not on the clock, though.”
“But I am.”
Jack bit his lip as he looked away, swiftly stepping out of your grasp and going over to close the door of the room before he pulled the curtain closed as well. Then he stepped closer to you, the question written in his eyes as clear as days. You couldn’t help but grin at him, at the slight flustered breath as he leaned in closer.
“You’re such a dork. C’mere.” You saw his eyes soften as they traveled down to your lips.
“Thank god,” was all he said as he leaned in and met your lips with his.
Jack’s skin was warm as he pressed closer to you, his lips moving against yours with a hunger and firmness you weren’t expecting. The way he moved his hands over your body made you groan into his lips which only made him grasp you harder. He felt heavenly against you, the way his warmth seeped into yours.
You grasped the nape of his neck, deepening the kiss by pushing against him. It was hard to ignore his shirtless torso as well, so you made sure to run your hand down his back, noticing the shivers that erupted in your fingers’ wake. He let out a low moan at that and you made sure to file that information away for future use. When you pulled away, his full blown pupils were staring into yours with smirk on his lips.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he breathed, his lips venturing further south as he placed small kisses against your chin, your throat, down to your collarbone.
You let out something that was a mix between a laugh and a moan. “I think that broke the rules of our agreement.”
“Fuck the agreement,” Jack said as he met your eye properly. “I want you, with or without it.”
Your smile turned crooked. “Does this mean you’ll stop paying me?”
“No, you should be prepared to be spoiled even more,” he replied, his own smirk widening.
“You don’t have to, Jack,” you said, meeting his gaze with a meaningful glare.
Jack merely stepped even closer, incasing you in his strong arms, his lips lowering to your ear as he whispered, “I want to.” And looking into those eyes of his, you think you finally believed him when he said that.

It all started innocently. Your dad went to Jack's place to watch a game, and you had to stay a few extra hours at the library cataloguing a box of new arrivals, which was a bit boring, so you got home exhausted. You took a shower, fixed something quick to eat, and went upstairs to watch something in your room. You managed to watch twenty minutes of Sex in the City before you sleep took the best out of you.
You woke up in the middle of the night, thirsty, and got up to have a glass of water. As you were wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, you wrapped yourself in a fluffy robe, and your father's door was closed, so he probably got home after you fell asleep.
You turned on the kitchen lights and heard someone yawning in the living room. You slowly peeked into the room and found Jack stretching his back and getting up from the couch. "Robby? What time is it?" He spoke walking towards the kitchen.
"It's me," You said, simply taking a sip of your water. "It's two-thirty, sorry for flashing the lights on your face, I didn't know you were here," You said, taking a look at him. He was wearing an almost transparent white undershirt and a pair of dark and light blue plaid boxer shorts.
"Power ran out mid-game, and we came over to watch the rest of it here," He explained, stretching his back once again. The movement made his shirt go up and reveal part of his abdomen; your eyes were immediately drawn there, and his shorts that seemed to be getting tighter by the second.
"Midnight-wood, huh?" You teased, placing the now-empty glass inside the dishwasher. "Oh... well, I'm old, not dead," He defended himself. "I might take you up on that," You teased once again. You didn't know exaclty were that was coming from, maybe a few years of repressed feelings for him, and the multiple times you masturbated thinking about him on top of you.
Shit, you really wanted that guy.
You turned to face him, and at the same time, he seemed to be a bit shocked; his cock was now bulging and definitely hard. "What? I've seen you checking me out discreetly a few times." You spoke, getting closer to him. "Yeah, but you are Robbby's son," He spoke, taking a step back and leaning against the counter. "Let's pretend I'm not then," You said, ending the distance between you two and attacking his lips. His short beard scraped against your chin, and his avid tongue explored your mouth. Your cocks rubbed against each other with a thin piece of fabric in between them.
"Shit, kid, I" He spoke and you susshed him "Just enjoy it" You knelt in front of him and pulled down the boxer shorts down to his anckles. Damn, he was big; it wasn't a surprise, he had big dick energy, but actually seeing it was arousing.
Swallowing his length was difficult; you teared up multiple times and gagged a few, and that made him enjoy it even more. "Are you crying for me, Doll? C'mon I know you can take it," He spoke, holding your head and trusthing his hips against your face "Fuck your throath feels amazing" Jack spoke enjoying the pressure your mouth, thongue and throath applied against his lenght.
The male facefucked you for a while until he came deep inside your throat. You gasped for air when he removed his cock from your mouth. Jack softly slapped your left cheek and placed another kiss on your lips "You should go back to your room. We don't want to wake up your dad, and if you stay down here I'm positive i'll make you scream" Jack spoke and you gulped.
You had a taste of him, and you wanted more, so much more.
~ X ~
Nine months later, and you never expected that blowing your dad's best friend in the middle of the kitchen during the night would result in you riding him, yet here you were. Jack's hands were placed at the side of your body, and he guided you up and down as he rearranged your insides. That definitely wasn't on your bingo card, and you hated yourself for that, but no one fucked you as good as Jack did; somehow, he knew exactly how to make you cum, whine, and purr for him.
"Shit, daddy... " You mumbled, holding onto the bedframe as Jack started pumping harder against your prostate. Needless to say, that was enough to make both of you cum together, your third time and his second. "You are amazing," He whispered, hugging you and placing a kiss on your forehead.
"What do you need? Water? Food? A shower," Jack asked, and you smiled, hugging him. "Probably all that, but at least thirty minutes of cuddling with you before," You pleaded, and he laughed, grabbing you as if you were weightless and placing you by his side, turning you into the small spoon. "No need to ask twice, Angel." Jack wrapped you in his arms, and you snuggled there for a good amount of time.
Once you felt ready to get up, Jack took you for a long shower filled with kisses and helping hands. After the shower, he'd prepared a snack and would leave before you had to go to work. That's how most of your afternoons went by, in between classes from college and the part-time job you had at the public library, Jack would stop by and take care of you.
Telling your father was absolutely off the table, and it was something you both agreed to after the first time you slept together. Robby knew you were queer since he found you kissing your neighbor on your 12-year-old birthday. The real issue was the fact that you were seeing a guy much older than you, and that guy was his best friend.
Hiding it was getting harder; he saw a few hickeys on your neck, and a pair of Jack's underwear also ended up in your basket of dirty laundry by accident. You liked asking about your father's day when he got home. The hospital was a lot for him, so having someone to share with was important, and you wanted to be there for him.
During one of those conversations about his day, he said that Jack seemed happier than usual. He suspected his friend had a girlfriend. You choked on your food when he told you that you were the "girlfriend"; hopefully, he wouldn't put 2 + 2 together and figure it out, but you reminded Jack to be more careful.
The closest call happened in your house during dinner, it was a Saturday, and Jack was there to watch the Super Bowl. Despite loving your father, you hated football, so you'd only come downstairs to watch the halftime show and get back to your room when the game was back.
After the Chiefs victory, much to your father's delight, you guys had pizza for dinner and sat together around the table. Abbot was right in front of you, and your dad was by your side.
"Daddy, can I have the ranch, please?" You asked about cleaning your mouth with a napkin when it all happened. Jack and your dad reached for the dressing at the same time, and Jack managed to pick it up first. You kicked him violently under the table, and he realized what he had done.
"Sorry, I was closest to it" He spoke, shoving pizza inside his mouth, you tried to make some small talk about something else and it apparently worked, your dad was probably too drunk and too extasiated about the chiefs win so he decided not to drag the "Daddy" event, but his subconcious surely registered it and that took a few hours of sleep from you.
And then, the day you dreaded for a long time came, Jack was still on top of you, kissing and biting your earlobe as he slowly exited your hole. Your dad was supposed to be at the hospital for at least another five hours, so the idea of him showing up did not cross your mind.
"You know, there is a huge hematoma on my calf after you kicked me under the table." Jack said, "So you went extra hard today in retribution?" You asked while slowly sitting down, feeling some pain in your bottom.
"Did daddy wreck your ass?" He was smiling from ear to ear and running his fingers inside your hole. "Yeah, you did," You said back, kissing his lips while his fingers twirled inside you. "Fuck" You sighed as he added another one.
"Hey, son, I got you... What the fuck?" Robby's voice echoed from your door, and everything froze. You slowly turned your head towards the door and saw your dad standing there, red with anger, holding a Starbucks bag. "Dad, I..." You tried speaking, but there was nothing to be said. You were naked, Jack was naked, you two were kissing, and his fingers, until three seconds ago, were inside your ass.
Robby dropped the bag and jumped towards Abbot, pressing him against the wall. "You're fucking my son? Are you out of your goddam mind?" Robby screamed.
"Dad, please," You pleaded, getting in between them. "Let's talk, please don't do this," You cried out with tears rolling down your cheeks. "Did he hurt you? Did he force you to do this?" Robby asked, and you cried even more, "No, Dad, I promise he didn't do anything wrong. It was consensual," You said.
Robby looked Jack up and down and took a step back, running his hands over his head. "Get dressed, both of you. We need to talk." He ordered and left the room. You allowed your tears to roll freely, and a suppressed cry echoed from your throat. Jack held you in his arms and promised a million times it was okay, but you couldn't wrap your head around it.
You got dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a matching hoodie and went downstairs. Jack got dressed and accompanied you. Robby was sitting at the dining table with his hands crossed, resting on top of it.
You sat at the table completely embarrassed, your face was burning, and your ass was aching. You avoided visual contact, and Jack tried to start the conversation, "Robby, I..." Your father interrupted him with a simple hand gesture. "
"How long?" Robby asked, and you swallowed dryly, "Dad..." You started, and Jack spoke, "Nine months." He knew your father well; they worked together, and during a crisis, Robby needed precise information and not smoke blown up his ass.
"Who started it? How did it start?" He asked, "I did. That night, you guys were supposed to go to Jack's place to watch some game, but the power was out, and you guys came here; that's when it started," You confessed. "I woke up in the middle of the night to grab some water and saw Jack sleeping on the couch. He woke up when I came downstairs and... well, you can imagine," You added
"I'd rather not," Robby said, and you gulped. "He is old enough to be your dad, you know that? He is my age," He said, and you looked down. "Dad, I'm an adult... I know it seems weird, but I like Jack. I really like him." You spoke, and the male grabbed your hand under the table.
"You better be the best fucking boyfriend in this world or I will fucking end you. Do you understand me? I don't care how long you've been in the army, if my son as much as sheds a tear because of you, I'll end your existence here," Robby threatened Jack, and the male smiled softly.
You breathed in relief and also cried, "Hopefully those tears don't count?" Jack tried joking, and Robby remained static. "Don't push it," Your father instructed, and Jack gave him a thumbs up. "No more secrets, okay? I... I need some time to forget what I just saw," Robby said.
"What do you mean?" You inquired, partially scared because you thought he was having a delirium, and also worried he meant to break you and Jack up. "My best friend fingering my son, that's what I want to forget." Robby vented, covering his face, Jack held his laughter, and your face basically erupted, "Oh... that... yes. Okay," You mumbled, looking for words.
"I'm hitting the shower." You said getting up, and Jack moved to follow you, but Robby stopped him. "Go take your shower, son. But you're staying right here, Jack," Your dad said, and you ran upstairs wanting to lock yourself inside the bathroom forever.
The conference room went silent. Not quiet—silent, like someone had sucked all the sound out. Heejin's hand froze halfway to her mouth. Yeojin just stared at the HR rep like she was speaking another language. You watched the words "contract termination" hang in the air, impossible and real at the same time.
"Oppa, this can't be true, can it?" Yeojin's voice cracked on the first syllable, her eyes already red-rimmed.
"Holy shit, this can't be real," Heejin said, her voice tight with barely contained fury.
You'd seen this coming. From the moment you were hired as the personal manager for all twelve members, you knew this company was a shitshow. What kind of company operation assigns one person to handle twelve idols? But knowing it was coming didn't make it any easier.
And Chuu wasn't even here to hear it...
"I need to find her," you muttered, already heading for the door. You pulled out your phone, typing out a quick message asking for her location, asking if she'd heard.
The responses from the other members started flooding in immediately, but you were already out the building, half-jogging to where you'd parked the company car.
Chuu's apartment was several blocks away—no parking, naturally—so you ended up abandoning the car and running the last three blocks. By the time you hit her buzzer, you were panting and covered in sweat.
"Come in." Her voice through the intercom sounded raw.
You took the stairs two at a time.
When you pushed open her door, you found her pacing her living room like a caged animal. Her eyes were red and puffy, mascara tracked down to her jawline, but she wasn't crying anymore. Now she just looked furious.
"Those fucking bastards," she was muttering. "Holy shit, I'll end—"
"Chuu."
She spun around. For a moment, her expression crumpled, then she set her jaw. "You heard."
"Everyone heard." You closed the door behind you. "Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay?" She laughed, but it came out bitter. "They tried to control everything. Everything. What I say, where I go, who I talk to. And now they just—" Her voice broke.
You moved on instinct, going to her kitchen. Her fridge was surprisingly well-stocked for someone who was never home. You found ginseng tea, prepared it carefully, brought it to her.
"Here. Drink this."
She took it with shaking hands, sank onto her couch. You sat beside her, close but not touching, and just waited.
The KKT group chat was blowing up. You typed out a quick message:
You: She's with me. I've got her.
The responses came fast—relieved, worried, angry at the company. Slowly, the chat quieted as the members headed home to process in private.
Chuu finished her tea. Set the cup down. Stared at nothing.
"How are the others?" she finally asked.
"Devastated. Yeojin was crying. Heejin looked ready to fight someone." You paused. "They're worried about you."
She nodded slowly, then drew her knees up to her chest. "I should call them."
"You should rest first."
She looked at you then—really looked at you. Something shifted in her expression.
"Oppa," she said quietly. "Thank you. For coming here. For..." She gestured vaguely. "Everything."
"It's my job to take care of you all."
"Not anymore. Technically." Her mouth twisted. "I'm not one of your twelve anymore."
The words hung between you.
"Fuck that," you said. "Fuck that company. Whatever you all decide to do, I'm with you."
Her eyes went bright again, but not with tears this time. She shifted closer.
"You know what?" Her voice dropped. "They tried to control everything about me. But this—" She gestured between you both. "This is mine. My choice. They can't touch this."
Your pulse kicked up. "Chuu—"
"You know we talk about you, right?" She was looking up at you through her lashes now. "The members. We talk about... things."
"Things?" Your mouth had gone dry.
"The kind of things twelve girls talk about when they're bored and stressed and their manager is—" She bit her lip. "Well. You."
Jesus Christ.
"I didn't know that," you managed.
"We've been good about hiding it." She shifted even closer. You could smell her shampoo—something floral, sweet. "But I don't have to hide anymore, do I? I'm not part of LOONA anymore. I can do whatever I want."
Her hand landed on your chest. Light at first, then pressing flat. She had to feel your heart hammering.
"Chuu, what are you—"
"I want this." Her eyes locked on yours. "Do you want this?"
This was insane. You could lose your job. Lose their trust if this went sideways. The professional boundary you'd maintained for months was about to shatter. But her hand was sliding down your stomach and your body had already made the decision.
"Yes," you heard yourself say.
She kissed you.
It wasn't gentle or tentative. She kissed you like she'd been thinking about it for months, like she was starving for it. Her tongue swept into your mouth and you tasted the ginseng tea, something sweet underneath—her lip tint, maybe strawberry. Your hands found her waist without permission from your brain.
She made a small sound against your mouth and suddenly she was climbing into your lap, straddling you, her fingers threading through your hair and tugging. The kiss broke long enough for you both to gasp for air, then she was back, aggressive and demanding.
"Fuck," you breathed when she pulled back again. "You've been holding back, huh?"
"You have no idea." Her eyes were dark, pupils blown wide. "But not anymore. Tonight you're mine, Oppa. Okay?"
Before you could answer, she was kissing you again, her small hands working at the buttons of your shirt. She got three undone before losing patience and just yanked. Buttons scattered. You heard one hit the window.
"Sorry," she said, not sounding sorry at all.
"You're doing my laundry anyway."
Her laugh was bright and genuine—the first real one you'd heard from her all day. Then her hands were on your bare chest, nails dragging lightly over your skin. When she brushed your nipple you jerked, and she noticed. Did it again, deliberate, watching your face.
"Sensitive there?" Her smile turned wicked.
"Apparently."
She leaned down and replaced her fingers with her tongue. You groaned, your hands tightening on her hips. She was still fully dressed and you were rapidly losing the ability to think straight.
"Chuu—"
"Hmm?" She didn't stop.
"You're still—fuck—you're still wearing clothes."
She sat up, that smile still playing at her lips. "Well. Fix that, then."
Your hands found the hem of her white shirt. She lifted her arms and you pulled it off, revealing a peach lace bra that made your brain short-circuit for a second. She reached back and unclasped it herself, let it fall.
You'd tried so hard not to notice their bodies. Professional boundaries. But now Chuu was topless in your lap, small and perfect, her brown nipples already hard, and you were allowed to look. More than look.
"You're staring," she whispered.
"You're gorgeous."
Her face went scarlet and she smiled, pleased and shy at the same time. You cupped her breast, thumb brushing over her nipple, and she gasped. Sensitive there too.
You leaned forward and took it in your mouth. She made a high, surprised sound, her hands flying to your hair. You sucked gently, then harder, and her hips rolled against you. You were painfully hard now, straining against your pants, and she could definitely feel it.
"Oppa," she breathed. "I can feel you."
"Yeah. You feel what you're doing to me?"
She nodded, then slid off your lap. For a confused moment you thought she was stopping, but then she was on her knees between your legs and your brain just—stopped.
"I want to see it," she said simply.
Your hands moved on autopilot, reaching for your belt, but she pushed them away.
"Let me."
She unbuckled your belt slowly, maintaining eye contact. Popped the button of your pants. The zipper sounded obscenely loud in the quiet apartment. She hooked her fingers in your waistband—both pants and boxers—and pulled down.
Your cock sprang free and her eyes went wide.
"Fuck, Oppa. You're huge."
"I'm really not—"
"Shh." She wrapped her hand around the base—small hand, tentative grip at first. "Let me appreciate this."
She stroked upward slowly, testing, and you bit back a groan. Her other hand cupped your balls, rolling them gently, and your thighs tensed.
"Am I doing it right?"
"Yes," you managed. "Fuck, yes."
That satisfied smile again. She stroked you with more confidence now, her thumb swiping across the head and coming away slick with precum. She looked at it curiously, then at you.
"Can I taste?"
Jesus fucking Christ.
"Please."
She leaned in. Her breath ghosted across your cock and every muscle in your body went tight. Then her tongue—soft, warm, curious—licked from base to tip.
"Fuck, Chuu—"
"Good?" She was still watching your face, learning what worked.
"So good. Where did you learn—"
"Porn." She grinned. "We watch a lot when we're bored."
Before you could process that, her mouth closed over the head and your brain shut down entirely. She sucked gently, still stroking the base, and made a small pleased sound when you groaned.
She wasn't expert. Her teeth scraped once and she adjusted. But what she lacked in experience she made up for in enthusiasm and attention. She watched your reactions, learned what made you curse, what made your hips jerk.
When her hand started twisting on the upstroke—where the fuck did she learn that?—you knew you were in trouble.
"Chuu," you warned, your voice coming out strangled. "I'm close, I'm—"
She pulled off just enough to look at you. "Where?"
"What?"
"Where do you want to cum?"
Your brain was too fried for this decision. She glanced around—no tissues, no towel within reach—and made a choice. Her mouth closed over you again just as the first pulse hit.
You came with a groan that felt ripped from your chest, one hand flying to the back of her head—not pushing, just needing to hold onto something. She made a small sound around you, half-surprise, half-satisfaction, and kept sucking through each pulse.
When her cheeks hollowed one last time and she pulled off, the final spurts caught her lips and chin, dripping down her neck to her collarbone.
"Fuck," you breathed.
She swallowed—you watched her throat work—and then opened her mouth to show you. Empty. That fucking smile on her face, proud of herself.
"That was a lot, Oppa." She wiped her chin with the back of her hand. "Was I good?"
"You were so fucking good. Jesus."
She laughed, then looked down at herself. "I'm a mess."
"Here." You grabbed the towel you'd brought earlier for her tears—god, that felt like hours ago—and gently cleaned her face, her neck. She sat back on her heels and just looked at you.
"My turn?" she asked, almost shy.
Something in your chest tightened. "Yeah. Your turn."
You stood, pulled her up with you. She'd worked your pants down to your ankles; you kicked them off entirely, then reached for her jeans. She helped, lifting her hips so you could slide them off. White panties underneath, already showing a damp spot.
You hooked your fingers in the waistband and looked at her. She nodded.
When you pulled them down, she was bare underneath—completely bare, smooth and pink and already glistening. Your mouth went dry all over again.
"Do you like what you see?"
"Fuck yes." You pressed her back onto the couch, her head on the armrest. "You're perfect, Chuu. Absolutely perfect."
Her face flushed deeper and she smiled, pleased and embarrassed at the same time. You knelt between her legs on her carpeted floor, ran your hands up her outer thighs. Her skin was impossibly soft.
"Can I taste you?"
"Please," she whispered.
You pressed a kiss to her inner thigh first, then the other, taking your time. Her legs were already trembling slightly. When you finally dragged your tongue up her slit, she gasped like you'd shocked her.
She tasted sweet and salty and distinctly her. You did it again, slower, and her hips lifted off the couch.
"Oh fuck," she breathed.
You settled in, gripping her ass to pull her closer to your face. Licked and sucked and explored, paying attention to what made her gasp, what made her thighs tense. When you found her clit and circled it with your tongue, her whole body jerked.
"There, oh god, right there—"
You focused there, alternating between broad strokes and focused attention. Her hand found your hair, gripping tight, not directing but holding on. The sounds she was making—small gasps that turned into moans that turned into words you couldn't quite make out—were the hottest thing you'd ever heard.
Her thighs started to shake. You slid two fingers into her—tight, fuck, so tight—and crooked them up while your mouth stayed on her clit.
The words dissolved into a cry. Her thighs clamped around your head hard enough that your ears rang. You couldn't hear, could barely breathe, just felt her shaking and the flood of wetness against your tongue. Her pussy clenched around your fingers in waves.
You worked her through it until she pushed at your head, oversensitive. When you pulled back, your face was soaked and she was staring at you with wonder.
"Holy shit," she breathed. "That was—holy shit."
You wiped your mouth with the back of your hand, grinning. "Good?"
"Oppa, I think I just saw God."
You laughed, moving up to kiss her. She could taste herself on your tongue and didn't seem to care, just kissed you back hungrily.
"I need you inside me," she whispered against your mouth. "Please. I need it."
You were hard again—had been getting hard again the moment you'd tasted her. "You sure?"
"I'm sure. I'm so sure. Please."
You lined yourself up, dragging your cock through her wetness, coating yourself. The head bumped against her clit and she whimpered, trying to angle her hips to take you in.
"Ready?"
"Yes, fuck, please—"
You pushed into her slowly. Tight—jesus fuck, so tight—and hot and slick around you. Her breath caught. You watched her face, watched her eyes flutter closed, her mouth fall open in a silent gasp.
"Okay?" you managed.
"Don't stop. Keep going."
You sank deeper, inch by inch, until your hips met hers and you were buried completely. You stayed there for a moment, letting her adjust, feeling her pulse around you.
"Move," she said. "Please move."
You pulled out slowly, then thrust back in. Her back arched and she made that sound again, high and needy. You found a rhythm—slow at first, deep and deliberate, watching her face for every reaction.
"Harder," she said. "I won't break."
Fuck. You gripped her hips and gave her what she wanted. The couch creaked with each thrust. She was meeting you halfway now, her hips rolling, her pussy clenching around you.
"That's it," she gasped. "Just like that, don't stop—"
You couldn't have stopped if you wanted to. Some distant part of your brain was screaming that this was insane, unprofessional, that you'd crossed every line. The rest of you didn't give a shit.
Her nails dug into your back—you'd have marks tomorrow, crescent moons you wouldn't be able to explain. She was getting louder, less coherent, her body starting to tense.
"Close," she managed. "Oppa, I'm so close—"
You shifted the angle slightly and she cried out. You'd found something good. You kept hitting that spot, hard and fast, and suddenly she was coming, her whole body going rigid then shaking, pussy clenching around you in waves so tight you almost couldn't move.
"Fuck!" She was loud, uninhibited. "Fuck, fuck, fuck—"
You didn't slow down, couldn't, you were too close yourself. Just kept fucking her through it. She was oversensitive, gasping and twitching with every thrust, but she didn't tell you to stop.
"Inside," she managed, her voice wrecked. "I'm safe—please, I want to feel it—"
That did it. You slammed in one last time and came with a groan that felt ripped from your chest, your cock pulsing inside her, filling her. Her cunt was still fluttering around you, milking every drop.
You collapsed on top of her, both of you breathing hard. Her arms came around you, holding you close.
After a moment, you carefully pulled out. Your cum immediately started leaking out of her, obscenely white against her pink, used pussy. She made a small sound, whether protest or satisfaction you couldn't tell.
"You came a lot, Oppa," she murmured.
"Yeah." You shifted to lie beside her on the couch. "You fine?"
"So fine..." She turned her head to look at you, that smile playing at her lips again. "My members are going to be so jealous."
Your brain was still foggy. "What?"
"That I got to be your first." She stretched like a cat. "From the twelve of us."
"Wait, what do you mean the twelve—"
"We talk about everything, Oppa." She was grinning now. "And after tonight? They're definitely going to want their turn."
"Chuu, that's not—I can't just—" You didn't even know how to finish that sentence. Could you? Would you? Should you?
"We'll see." She sat up, winced slightly. "I need a shower. Join me?"
"I should—" You stopped. Should what? Leave? Pretend this didn't happen?
"Please stay," she said, softer now. "I don't want to be alone tonight."
So you stayed.
You woke up to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows and the sound of a shower running. For a moment you were disoriented, then it all came back. Chuu. Everything that happened.
Fuck.
You sat up on the edge of her bed—you'd eventually made it to her bedroom sometime after the shower, after she'd pulled you down for another round, slower and softer than the first. Your clothes were scattered somewhere between the living room and here.
Your phone was on her nightstand. The screen showed dozens of notifications—the group chat, mostly. You scrolled through: questions about Chuu, worry, anger at the company. Nothing that required an immediate response.
The shower turned off. A moment later, Chuu emerged, wrapped in a towel, her phone in hand, hair wet and face bare of makeup. She looked younger like this. Softer.
"Morning," she said, smiling when she saw you were awake.

⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱
In the midst of the chaos of blood and medical apparatus, you stood frozen, staring at your gloved hands covered with crimson.
The mention of your name cut through your muddled thoughts,
“What’s the next step?”
You turned your gaze to Dr. Robby, the person inquiring. The question was drowned out by diagnostic thoughts rushing through your mind, and none of them settled to be the chosen answer. You helplessly stared, while a silent tremble coursed through your limbs; mouth slightly agape, gasping for air like a mimed cry for help.
Dr. Robby observed with raised eyebrows, anticipating your next move, but time is of the essence, and hesitation is a doctor’s weakness. A disappointed sigh escaped him, and then he turned his attention to the task at hand, preparing to give out orders when-
“Morphine! I-Increase the morphine dosage, then we need to secure both legs-“
Your voice rang through the bustle, carried with a quivering tone at the end. You sprang into action, weaving through the busy medical hands, while handing out orders (With slight guidance from the observing attending). The medical staff in Trauma 1 witnessed the change, like a hidden switch had been flipped, from a deer caught in headlights to a near imitation of a seasoned conductor barking out straight-from-textbook procedures. Gone was the fear riddling your arms and legs, replaced with determination and steady grit.
“Vital’s stable, great job.”
The praise from your senior was muffled by your heavy breathing; the sudden influx of clarity exhausted you. You acknowledged the compliment with a nod before focusing on regulating your breathing.
“You got a sec?”
Dr. Robby, with a hand placed on your shoulder, nodded to the outside of the room. No longer sporting the medical gown, but instead a slight smile of—what you can tell—disappointment… again.
“…yeah, sure.”
As Dr. Robby left, you followed suit, head hung low, while grumbling self-pointed frustration.
Once in the hall, you felt yourself shrinking; hands flexing, then clenching; eyes wandering about, refusing to look at your senior attending—a pseudo-physical defense mechanism to the impending berating. And so, with a bloodied gown and gloves, you brace yourself for impact.
Arms crossed, he looked at you, almost mirroring the pity you had afflicted on yourself, then quickly masked it with a low-hanging shake of his head before you could notice.
“You froze… again. This is the 5th time this week-“
“Looklook! I’m sorry, I know- I promise I’ll be-“ The bubbled frustration and fear ingrained in your bones painted your pleas with self-pity. Hands flying and forming varied gestures as if to better visualize your defense, but your attempt was quickly halted.
“Kid, I don’t need apologies and promises, I need doctors that can do their jobs… I’m starting to think you’re not cut out for the ED.”
That last sentence caught you off guard; it rang in your head in a continuous loop, each word and syllable more enunciated than prior replays. You hadn’t noticed, but Dr. Robby had gone off to tend to other patients. You were left in the busy hallway of The Pitt in a bloodied gown and gloves. The message delivered loud and clear, a coldness crept up and slowly suffocated your body.
Defeated, you dragged yourself to the hub and plopped down on a nearby chair. The urge to rub your face with your hands almost consumed you when you realized that you were still wearing the nitrile gloves covered with the patient’s blood that you had almost killed. You bit down your tongue to prevent the rising agitation, your eyes darted around searching for any bins, which you found ironic. One minute, you knew the place like the back of your hand, then completely forgot where things ought to be in an instant. The thought elicited a scoff from you.
‘Great! Now, I can’t fucking remember where the damn trash bins are. Another simple task I fucked up this week.’
Eventually, your eyes landed on one. You marched over while you practically tore the gown and gloves off your person; With the self-directed anger near approaching its peak, you shoved the now-tattered medical garb into the garbage can; the loud snap of the lid you had shut caught the attention of passersby.
You returned to your seat, and for a moment, you sat hunched in volatile silence. In the eyes of strangers, you appeared exhausted, but those who knew you well saw the subtle eye twitches and the shallow breathing accompanied by your hands fiddling with the hem of your scrubs—a telltale sign of you reaching your boiling point.
“You look like shit, Tom Sawyer.”
A nonchalant comment tied with a nickname was thrown at you; you felt your eyes trail to your side, eyeing the perpetrator, Trinity Santos, her hair wound up in a bun with a bunch of stray strands framing her face, her attention fully dedicated to her digitally stacked charts before her, completely ignoring your piercing glare.
“Fuck off, Trin. I don’t need your shit right now.”
Venomous as a Caspian cobra, the retaliation left your lips instantly, punctuated with gravel through your teeth. You caught her reaction, eyes widened as her tethered attention to the computer screen completely broke, and fingers froze mid-sentence at the seething prompt you gave before she composed herself.
Immediately, regret entered the chaotic waltz of your emotions. Vision almost hazy, you tried to blink back the control over your own brewing internal storm. Your breath shifted from shallow to deep and irregular; whatever mountain’s peak your emotions were dragging you to, you were about to see the horizon of your absolute breakdown.
“…Are you okay?”
This time, your actual name was used. The question bore no snide nor jest; Trinity was actually genuinely asking, and if you were doubting her words, her expression accentuated her concern—her eyebrows furrowed, her voice in a hush, and her chair adjusted to be closer as she leaned slightly forward to somewhat examine your entire well-being.
You felt yourself swallow, your mind simultaneously formulating and destroying a response; coherence was not present in your vocabulary. In the sea of self-destructive thoughts, you understood that you were not okay, and her question was her offering help; you need help, you want help, only if you could fuCKING SAY-
BAM!
Just like that, your mental volcano erupted. The lawless battlefield in your mind had dropped a nuke; not a single thought, whether self-destructive or kind, had survived. Instead of remembering the sounds of bullets and bombs, all you heard was the clattering of the materials on the desk in front of you—the clicking of some keys of the keyboard, the wobble of the monitor, the chattering of pens and pencils in a pencil holder, and the faint screech of the desk itself. A moment of clarity washed over you, your eyes readjusted to your reality, and you quickly assessed the mess you had made. Your mind, like a camera shutter, quickly snapped vivid frames of your colleagues' concerned and shocked expressions—Javadi, King, McKay, hell, everyone at this point.
You felt yourself shrink again—tinier—and found a small solitude in your palms as you covered your face with your hands; the heat you once radiated turned blue. Smaller is what you felt as you leaned into your knees, your flurried out curses and apologies to everyone around you, but all were muffled as you sank deeper into your cocoon-like state. You wanted to sleep the day away; god, you can’t wait for this shift to be finally over. Better yet, you just wanted to disappear-
“Babe, are you okay?”
The aftershock of your meltdown completely withered away when you heard his voice. You remembered how soft it was, like the curls of his hair, yet had the duality of being commanding in moments of urgency; kindness was permanently latched like a keychain onto every sentence he uttered. He always knew what to do when the storm was drowning you. Just like now.
You felt his arm wrapped around you, his thumb rubbing small circles on your shoulder—the perfect key to help you unwind your coiled thoughts. His voice, next to your ear, recited a meditation to guide you through the storm. For a moment, you were still; from flickering lights into waning bulbs—the anger, destruction, regret, and self-pity slowly vanished; and finally, your breathing reached steadiness, you were no longer chasing or drowning; instead, you were in the arms of your comforting boyfriend.
Once calmed, you slowly sat up, fixing your posture. Your bleary eyes rousing, you looked down, noticing the wetness on your palm, while the other hand touched your cheek, feeling the same sensation; you hadn’t noticed you were crying. Then he carefully grabbed your hand, which led you to turn your attention to him.
Dennis Whitaker.
Many would say he looked tired, especially with his bangs stuck to the sweat on his forehead and the bags under his eyes, but to you, he always looked handsome, no matter what—the way he gently smiled at you with his blue eyes expressing emotions in such a picturesque way. You could spend the rest of the shift staring at his face, you thought. You can’t help but think that you were so lucky to have found a man like him.
“Yeah, I’m fine…”
The answer fluttered out whimsically.
Then his smile changed, from its gentle state to a broader and softer one. He airily chuckled as the corner of his eyes crinkled with joy from… something? Why is he chuckling? You can’t tell.
“You’re swooning.”
Oh. That explains it.
“And are you sure you’re fine? If not, we can talk about it now, if you want.“
“Oh! Nonono, I’m fine for now. We can talk about it after work, okay? We should probably get back to work.”
The interaction was sweet, almost too sweet. Trinity, who witnessed the entirety of it, made a gagging noise before returning to her charting hell. Time and place, you both thought. After a quick exchange of farewells, you and Dennis resumed working.
From afar, Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot were discussing handing off tasks to the night shift when they witnessed your scene.
“He’s got potential, but… everyone tried to teach him, or I don’t know; nothing worked.”
Robby knew you were struggling to keep up with The Pitt’s stressful work environment. He saw how incredible you were; you were a walking medical textbook, able to perform complex medical procedures perfectly, like how it was intended in medical textbooks. The problem was: You were carbon cracking under pressure; he couldn’t seem to find the proper motivator to turn you into a diamond.
“Ya’sure you tried everyone? What about Dr. Whitaker? He seems to… respond well to him.”
A cleverly laid innuendo by Dr. Abbot, with a matching light chuckle at the junior residents’ obvious chemistry. Dr. Robby paid no attention to his friend’s comment.
“Sorta avoided that, I don’t want to cause… interpersonal conflict in the workforce.”
The last thing the ED needed was a lovers’ quarrel.
“Well, you’re sorta out of options, so-“
Dr. Abbot didn’t seem to care; he thought the answer was obvious. He shrugged before he left the station, headed out to care for patients. All that was left was Dr. Robby facing an ultimatum. And for a second, he pondered—High risk and high reward, weighing out if the gamble was worth it. Eyes closed, and fingers tapped on the station desk, he rubbed a hand on his face before he pushed himself off the station. Headed out to prepare for the end of the shift. He had finally made a decision.
⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱
“-That’s what I need you to do, Whitaker. And you… This might be your last chance.”
It was the day after when Dr. Robby shared his verdict; his gaze, almost hawk-like, alternated between yours and Dennis’ reaction. He expected delight or excitement from the two of you, but instead, he was met with hesitation and caution—he wasn’t expecting that.
You heeded the instructions given to you and Dennis, tilting your head slightly to the side as you memorized the news verbatim. All the while, Dennis, with his arms crossed, allowed himself to process the information, eyebrows arched and head nodding slowly in quiet conformity.
After a short while, you and Dennis exchanged a look, then mused out a simultaneous confirmation and acceptance of the new responsibility to your senior attending.
“That’s a bit… of an unorthodox method, but yeah, I- err, we can work with that. I promise- ohyeahnopromises- Sure, I’ll uhh… do my best, you won’t regret it.”
Your response, although sincere, followed your typical timid format of adding apologies and promises at the end. You barely squeaked out because you attempted to catch stray apologies and promises in your sentence.
To which Dr. Robby responded with a kind of meek thumbs-up as he stepped away, leaving the two of you bearing a joint weight.
As you both walked to check up on your patients, guilt simmered within you. You knew what reputation you held in the ED—the runt of The Pitt, a burden. You never wanted anyone to tutor you, especially your boyfriend. You figured you’d only be a distraction.
“Guess you’re stuck with me, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine, really! Besides…”
You felt Dennis’ breath near—almost kissing—your ear, a fragile blanket of innocence with a glaring accent of insatiable lust.
“…I always enjoy ‘teaching’ you a lesson or two.”
Chills ran down your spine, hairs at your nape standing. You felt your body stutter for a minute before you fully turned to him. Flustered was framed on your face, expressed by the reddening of your cheeks—A sight that Dennis relished. You found yourself sputtering, internally scrambling to find a quip as an attempt to conceal your flustered state.
Dennis just stood there, all innocent with that signature Huckleberry smile. It took so little effort to put you in that state; he knew how much control he had over you—control you willingly gave him.
He stepped directly in front of you, and you found yourself shrinking like a mouse before a giant. You looked up, and your gaze met his. His eyes were soft, but actively restraining hunger; you saw a tiny smirk growing on his face, almost smug-like; his Adam’s apple bobbed—swallowing—like he was savoring the way you reacted to his voice. This image of Dennis is something you’re all too familiar with; you knew in his head he was brewing up a plan so devious and salacious. You pried your gaze off him, trying to focus on something else, but instead, you ended up glancing over Dennis’ stature—arms crossed, his farm-born biceps slightly bulging; his pecs, hidden in his grey shirt and scrubs, seemed more prominent. His frequent visits to Mrs. Miller’s farm have helped him build his physique beautifully.
“Here’s what I’m thinking: You’ll shadow me for a week or two. And for another week, you’ll do things on your own to see if you’ve improved or not. If things stay the same, we’ll try again, but if there’s improvement, I’ll... reward you. How does that sound?”
Dennis’ head tilted slightly downward, pupils dilated as he caught your gaze. The suggestion was presented charmingly, masterfully disguising his growing latent desire for you. He had thrown the hook into the sea; he’s waiting for you to take the bait.
You thoroughly pondered the possibilities, eyes closed and humming to yourself as if to aid your focus (though you can still feel Dennis’ eyes on you, almost heated); right now, you can’t afford to fuss over and complain about your choices. And why would you complain? Your boyfriend is offering to help you; you no longer need to worry about awkwardness, which you often encountered with your previous tutors. After careful consideration, you opened your eyes; you looked up to meet his.
“Sure, sounds great.”
Once you nodded in agreement, Dennis’ scheme had been set in motion; Oh, how he’ll enjoy breaking you.
⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱
Your lessons with Dennis were pretty productive. The first few weeks were rough, but with his guidance, you excellently recovered. There were days when you found yourself drained or stuck, but Dennis just seemed to know what to do or say to keep you moving forward.
Your rapid heartbeat mimicked the loud and fast beeping of the medical equipment. Your body was tense, close to locking up. Your vision flickered between sheer focus and then to blurriness. You felt yourself drowning in your own indecisiveness again.
“Okay, that’s the first step. What’s next?”
Although lost in a boiling sea of thoughts, you heard Dennis’ voice, ever-so patient and calm. And everything just fell into place, a rush of air fills your lungs, controlled adrenaline forged your will and focus into glasses that perfectly guided your attention to the open patient before you. The trembling hands that were once yours were gone, replaced with steady and assured ones to match the booklet of medical procedures you cherished in your head. And equipped with both, you have successfully saved this patient’s life, and you have done it gracefully. Winded with adrenaline coursing through your veins, you moved on to the next patient, but this time, you were sporting a proud smile.
You strode around the ED with more assurance and this newfound quick wit. And as you cared for another patient, Trinity and Dennis watched you move with more pep in your step.
“What did you do to him, Huckleberry? I’ve never seen him like this.”
Though Trinity asked in a joking way, she couldn’t help but feel genuinely curious. Both arms on the desk, head lowered, awaiting the revelation of some secret to unlocking you.
“I… I don’t know, I helped him? I guess?”
This is a line of questioning Dennis often received after the gradual improvement of your performance, to which he responded with a sheepish grin and a shy rub of his nape—so humble.
He brushed aside the question with a shrug, but something glinted in his eye, so quick and unnoticeable to anyone. The events of that one night were playing on constant repeat in his mind, biting his lip on how delicious the memory is. If only they knew how you… Enjoyed your reward.
⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱
You expected the ‘reward’ to be a dinner date or even a simple cuddle session on your bed.
You were not expecting this.
Hours had loomed by, and this scene had unfolded in your shared apartment.
Dennis lay back nonchalantly on your shared bed, clutching a chain attached to the collar you were wearing. You performed extremely well today, and Dennis thought that deserved recognition... and the sweetest of rewards.
Skin slapping and the clinks of a chain were heard throughout the bedroom. Scrub suits were scattered on the floor along with pillows and sheets.
"Mmm, such a good boy... a good boy for me."
A groan melts through Dennis' throat while tugging at the chain. He looked at you with heat and hunger—a deadly combination, you discovered. He licked his lips at the delicious scene.
Back arched and body sweating, you eagerly bounced on his thick cock; eyes dazed and mouth drooling as broken moans flurried out.
"Hnngggh...M'a good boy yesyesyes-"
The praise reignited fire in you; you grip Dennis' thighs tight. You pulled yourself up with trembling legs, leaving only the tip inside you before plunging.
You ground on Dennis' pelvis, burying the member deeper, your insides memorized every vein. You repeated the action like a drunken routine, a cock-drunk way of showing appreciation for the recognition.
Dennis' head sank back into the pillow, and a guttural sound rumbled from his chest.
"Mmgghmm..fuck"
Heat surged throughout his body; his groin was the focal point. His length enveloped by your warm walls, quivering at every beat for every compliment he gave to you. His other hand was gripping your hips tightly, nails digging into your already bruised skin.
Dennis sat up and grasped your love-marked neck. He leaned in, lips dragging by your ear,
"hhnngg...Look, babe..."
He craned your head to face the body mirror near your bed.
"So… so fuckin' hot.."
His other hand dropped the chain, then held your frame, bracing you while he pounded into you relentlessly.
"Y'like it when I... mmph fuck you senseless, huh?"
Dennis coos—almost teasing—caressing your cheek with his thumb.
You watched the imagery with distant and teary eyes, while mewling out sounds of pleasure. Sweat covered you from head to toe, bite marks and hickeys scattered around your body, your knees knelt, and your legs spread apart, giving a perfect view of your twitching cock leaking cum.
Your body jolting from every thrust and quivering now and then from overwhelming pleasure, each hit was deadly accurate, scoring perfect marks in putting you in such a broken state.
All the while, Dennis wore an expression of pride, sweat pooled down his face, and hair stuck to his forehead; He watched you with incredible insatiability, while a tinge of concentration was present as he focused on giving the best reward.
Dennis’ reflection stirred arousal so intoxicating within you, a fuel of never-ending passion for him. His gaze was piercing, like it could barely contain the blazing lust he had for you. He made sure his eyes never left yours when he dragged his tongue from the point where your shoulder and neck met to your left ear. He relished the way your body stuttered and the pathetic sound that left your throat. He groaned—almost predatory—from the way you reacted, his response rumbled from his chest, his thrusts turning more feral, more visceral. And again, you reacted so beautifully; each time he rammed into you, you rasped out an airy cry—a sound so symphonious to him.
Dennis threw you back on the bed and pressed your knees to your chest as he lined up his throbbing cock at your entrance.
"'love you so much, you're so good to me..."
Dennis thrusted in, length buried down to the hilt; then he continued his onslaught, his pace was rough and deep, ensuring the snap of his hips was genuine and full of affection. Each thrust sent your eyes rolling back into your skull, your hands weakly grasping Dennis' biceps and hair; your voice scratchy and tired from the plethora of sounds you had been making for hours on end.
You heaved and gasped, feeling the knot in your tummy beginning to unravel,
"denydenydenyc-cumming...! Cumcu-"
Your body twitched and shook tremendously as you choked out a series of whines and moans.
Dennis' movement began to stutter.
"'m gonna cum- mm'gonna cum too...!"
Dennis leaned down, capturing your mouth in a sloppy, heated kiss. His throbbing cock was buried deep as he flooded your insides with his load; his hips grinding and jerking, breathing heavily. Your eyes began to blur as you spurted out white ribbons; your choked-out cries of ecstasy muffled by his invading tongue.
Dennis rutted, a euphoric action to keep his spent deep within you, his hips rolling slowly—a weaker imitation of his earlier unrelenting libido. He left a trail of tiny kisses from your cheek to your temple.
"s'proud of you…"
Dennis murmured, voice locked in a haze as his fingers combed through your hair. Your dedication and patience led you to this position, and he admired you for that. The magnificent being before him was a gift he cherished—he cherished you.
You lay laxed before him, eyes unfocused on yonder, lips parted and twitching as if talking to air. Your limbs pulsed weakly, each minute movement accompanied by a dazed sound from you.
God, you looked beautiful, Dennis thought. You looked beautifully broken.
Dennis figured it’d be best to let you rest. He began to pull out when he felt your legs lightly tighten around his waist; his stare flickered from your legs to your face. You still looked out of it, but he got the hint.
He gave a teasing thrust, slow yet earnest, testing to see if he understood your cue.
“…more? You want more?”
His chest rose and fell, the heaving gaining momentum when his eyes raked over your sweat and tear-stained face, looking for confirmation. Your head moved a light dither. Were you trying to nod? But Dennis’ thoughts were interrupted when a breathy sound escaped you, a tiny mewl, a soft-pitched rattle of life and lust in your feeble body.
He tested again, but now with increased power. With each slow stride of his hips, he felt your legs tighten. Now and then, they faltered and dropped back on the mattress, but you managed to snake it back around him, securing your place. Each time his balls lightly tapped your cum-covered ass, your hands faintly clawed at the air. And each time he stayed still for a moment to catch his breath, you let out a raspy whine, a pitiful way to beg for him.
You’re an insatiable little slut, the thought rang clear and true in Dennis. The way you looked before him drove him mad, and the sounds you made… he wanted more. More. More.
He lifted your lower back off the cushioned mat underneath you. With his biceps strained and veins popping out, he angled himself to better feel you for every deep thrust, his legs trembling as well in cooperation. Sprightly and speedy, he wasn’t; instead, he plowed into you rough and hard. His grunts finding new gravel every time he inched deeper into a new territory within you.
Dennis underestimated your resilience; he thought he broke you, but you weren’t even close. He wants to test the limit of this resilience of yours, and right now, a flood of obscenities and unholiness rushed into his mind, although muffled by the ruined sounds you were making. He had found himself thinking of numerous new and creative ways he could break you.
⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱☾⊰═════════════⊱
“Denny? Dennis? Hello? You there?”
Dennis’ eyes fluttered as the sound of snapping brought him back to the present. He looked at the source and found you, finger snapping and hand waving. A soft smile and furrowed eyebrows were worn by your face, your frame hugged by a grey long-sleeved turtleneck beneath your scrubs, hiding the mural of love marks he had greedily left all over you.
“Our patient’s family is here; they’re looking for us.”
Your tone was urgent and focused, but you have lost the tiny tremors you ended your sentences with.
“Oh, okay. Yeah, sure.”
Dennis grumbled, mostly to himself. His steamy thoughts and memories cut short, but still lingered. He composed himself; back straightened and demeanor clocked in for work.
Both of you headed out, walking next to each other.
“Is everything okay? You seemed distracted?”
“Just thought of something…”
“Oh? About?”
“You know, that one night.”
You stopped walking at the mere mention, and Dennis saw the heat pooling in your eyes.
“I-I’ve been thinking about it too…”
Your confession was quick and hushed. You closed the gap between the two of you, the bustle of the ED was gone, it felt like you both had entered a domain forged by your and Dennis’ quenchless desire for each other.
“Oh yeah? You want another lesson?”
The tease flew out of his mouth instantly, like he was anticipating your neediness. His steamy thoughts were no longer passive, but rather, ran amok. The brewing thirst and hunger in his eyes matched yours.
Your breath hitched; heat reignited and blossomed within you. You’re close to losing control, and he knows it. He loves it.
✧—𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖘 𝖓𝖔𝖙𝖊: Hello, Keith here! This is my first ever story and fanfiction that I have posted online. I was heavily inspired by @lefteagleblizzard ever since I started to read his stories here. I would like to thank him and everyone reading this! I hope you enjoy!
✧— Approximately 1,000 words.
You worked at Umbrella Corporation, the pharmaceutical every college student dreamed of after getting their bachelor's degree in chemistry. However, it wasn't actually a pharmaceutical or any typical lab work. Once happy, twinkly-eyed college students stepped into the Umbrella Corporation, there was no way out.
Once they signed those papers, they thought they could become a better person. They wanted to make and find solutions for incurable diseases, research newly found diseases and virus threats all around the world. Those dreams immediately came crashing down once they signed their name on that paper, every single newly graduated student screamed and cried as they begged for mercy when they wanted out.
But you? Oh, no, no, no... (You're not like other boys).
You didn't fight back, you didn't even think about leaving the place. You were fascinated with Umbrella's gruesome work, so much that it made someone... turn their head.
It was none other than Albert Wesker, a man who you've never seen take off his sunglasses, even inside enclosed spaces. You found it weird—odd, even—but you minded your own business.
Albert would loom over you as you worked, watching as you conducted your research and glancing at you whenever he got the chance. It almost feels like you have a stalker. Albert was a very professional man—he would keep things to himself, which made it very hard for anyone to see through him. But you didn't really care about that, if there's anything creepy here—it's those experiments.
It wasn't really creepy for you, of course. If anything, you had fun injecting viruses and watching the veins of the patients pulse and throb underneath the thin layer of skin. You loved all the creations equally, they all hold a special place in your cold blooded heart.
Timestamp — September 27, 1998
You've been working for the Umbrella Corporation as a Virologist for quite some time now. You love your job, you love it so much you technically live in the lab by now.
You stare at your computer screen as you drink the last bit of your now cold, and empty black coffee. You swore you drank at least 2-3 times a day, and it still hasn't come to grab you by your ankles.
Sighing heavily, you grab a pen and start to jot down some notes you've found about your research on a virus you've been studying. Your glasses slip off your nose bridge as you shift around your seat, you hastily fix it before flipping the page of your almost filled notebook.
As you write down important notes about the virus, footsteps would be heard coming closer. You didn't bother to turn around or even glance behind you, if it was an infected, you would've grabbed a gun by now.
You can feel Wesker's burning eyes observe the back of your head.
"[Last name]... I have a job for you." Wesker announced, his head lowering slightly to look at you from where you're sitting at.
You fix your posture and the way you were sitting. The chair spins as you turn to face Wesker.
"What is it?" You croaked. You take off your anti-radiation glasses, placing them gently on your table.
Wesker steps closer to you, his hand moving from his side to cupping your jaw. He tilts your head up, shifting your head from left to right before speaking.
"You're a good boy, aren't you?" He started. You can feel his piercing eyes even through his sunglasses.
"What's that supposed to mean?" You raise an eyebrow, rather surprised by the question. Does Wesker have some sort of kink? Or was he trying to play with you? Sources were unknown.
Wesker breathes out of his nose, "I want you.. to retrieve the G-virus from Annette Birkin." He said as his hand traveled from your jaw to your cheek, feeling the coldness of your skin due to the air conditioning that's been turned on since the morning.
Your gaze flickers to his hand and back to him. "Can't you do it yourself?" You asked, slightly leaning into his gloved hand. "You and Doctor Birkin were.. allies, that's for sure."
You watch Wesker's lips turn into a fine line before speaking up once more, "Listen, [Last Name].. Annette sees me as a threat. Not only that, she's also an obstacle to my plans." He said as he slowly moved his index finger from your cheek to your neck. "And simply because your pretty face is all I need to get the G-virus. You're more than capable." His lips twitch to curve before it drops back down to his natural small frown.
You gasp as he wraps his fingers around your neck, squeezing it ever so slightly as if he's warning you.
"What's it for me?" You asked, raising your brow. You could at least have a vacation, or getting your hands on a new virus that Wesker found.
"You?" Wesker almost barked out a laugh, but he always stays professional. "I assume this will do." He murmured before leaning down to come closer to your face, he was only a few inches away. Your eyes dart down to his lips, leaning in slowly as your eyes flutter shut.
You feel pressure against your own lips as Wesker leaned in, his lips were slightly chapped compared to yours. Before you could wrap your arms around his neck to lock him into you, he pulls away.
Your eyes flutter open as your gaze shoots up to his face, he straightens himself before turning away. "That's it?" You asked, furrowing your brows.
Wesker looks behind his shoulder, "You'll get more when you deserve it." He answered, you caught a hint of mischief in his tone. He turns his head to face forward before leaving you alone in the lab.
You sighed heavily as you leaned against your chair, "Curse you, Wesker... you'll be the death of me." You muttered under your breath, but your words weren't laced with frustration or malice.
𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 - no mentions of y/n, male reader,bottom!male reader, blood, suggestive themes,eventual smut, denial of love, subtle cussing, lastly Gojo.
𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬 - > It all started as a joke. He thought vampires were just a dark fantasy—until sharp fangs, crimson hunger, and immortal desire proved otherwise.
His joke about dating vampires was meant to push love away… not lure a predator closer.
[M/n] decides there’s absolutely no way he’s going to Blackwood Library at midnight just because a dangerously attractive stranger with pale skin, white hair, gorgeously attractive blue eyes and a superiority complex told him to. Curiosity may be killing him, but at least it won’t kill him in a haunted library.
So he ignores the note, stays in his dorm, and spends the entire night pretending he’s not thinking about it.
Pretending he doesn’t keep glancing at the clock. Pretending he isn’t wondering what Gojo Satoru is doing while he’s deliberately not there.
By morning, [M/n] is fully prepared to laugh the whole thing off as an overdramatic encounter and move on with his life.
That plan lasts exactly until he walks into the campus café.
Because sitting in his usual seat by the window like he’s been there forever is Gojo fucking satoru.
Black coffee in hand. Long legs stretched out. Looking far too pleased with himself.
[M/n] stops dead.
Gojo glances up, catches his expression immediately, and smiles like this is the funniest thing he’s seen all week.
“Well,” he says smoothly, taking a slow sip of coffee, “good morning to you too.”
[M/n] stares. “You’re in my seat.”
Gojo hums, completely unbothered. “You’re the one who stood me up.”
His entire table goes silent.
Every. Single. Second.
[M/n] nearly chokes. “I did not stand you up.”
“Mm,” Gojo says, clearly enjoying this far too much. “Blackwood Library. Midnight. Ring any bells to you?”
“I was not going.”
“Yes,” Gojo replies, eyes glittering with amusement, “I noticed.” Then he leans forward slightly, voice dropping just enough to send something sharp and strange down [M/n]’s spine. “A little disappointing, honestly. I was beginning to think your standards were higher.”
“well? What makes you think I'll go there. In fact I don't even know you. Stranger danger isn't?” [M/n] spoke in a obvious reasons.
I mean let's be serious [M/n] could die there if he decided to go! He doesn't even know Gojo Satoru even if his the typical mysterious hot guy that doesn't make it better.
Gojo stared at [M/n] with those alluring blue eyes. Silently, as if Gojo look away [M/n] would fly away from him.
[M/n] stared back , confused. He blinked as he shrugged.
because genuinely, what the hell was wrong with this man?
“You are actually insane.”
Gojo Satoru, unfortunately, looked completely unbothered sitting in [M/n]’s usual café spot like he paid tuition here.
One long leg crossed over the other. Black coffee in hand. Looking way too comfortable for someone who was, quite literally, a menace before first period.
“And yet,” Gojo said, glancing up like this was the best part of his day, “you’re still talking to me.”
[M/n] dropped his bag onto the chair across from him with a sharp glare.
“I’m talking to you because you’re in my seat.”
Gojo looked around slowly, dramatically, before blinking back at him.
“Oh,” he said. “So this is territorial.”
“It is eight in the morning.”
“Mm. Defensive too.”
[M/n] narrowed his eyes.
God, he was annoying.
Not normal annoying either.
Specifically engineered to be insufferable.
“I didn't need to go, in fact it won't do me any good.” [M/n] said flatly, because clearly that needed to be established immediately.
Gojo took a slow sip of coffee.
“Yes,” he replied. “I noticed.”
The audacity.
“The fact that you actually waited—”
“Rude,” Gojo cut in, looking almost offended. “I had faith.”
“No, you had too much free time.”
A pause.
Then, somehow—
Gojo laughed.
Not a fake laugh. Not a smug one.
An actual laugh, soft and low and stupidly nice enough to annoy [M/n] even more.
“See?” Gojo said. “This is why I like you.”
[M/n] blinked.
“Excuse me?”
Gojo rested his chin against his hand like he had all the time in the world.
“You’re funny.”
“I’m rejecting that statement.”
“Can’t. Already decided.”
[M/n] stared at him for a long second before deadpanning:
“You don’t even know me.”
Gojo’s smile turned sharp around the edges. Playful. Like he knew something [M/n] didn’t.
“I know,” he said lightly, “you reject people by saying you only date vampires.”
…....
Okay.
That was actually humiliating. But it worked many times What makes this different?
[M/n] crossed his arms immediately.
“For your information, it works.”
“I’m sure it does.”
“It does.”
“Mm.”
“Why do you sound like that?”
“Like what?”
“Like you’re judging me.”
Gojo tilted his head.
“I’m not judging,” he said, far too amused. “I’m fascinated.”
[M/n] hated. Hated. The way that word landed.
Mostly because Gojo said it so casually,attractivedly. It annoys the hell out of [M/n].
Like [M/n] was something worth studying.
Which was ridiculous. Obviously.
“You’re weird,” [M/n] muttered.
“Maybe,” Gojo said easily.
Then he leaned forward slightly towards [M/n] from where he was standing. just enough to be annoying, invasive, and impossible to ignore.
“But you were thinking about it.”
[M/n] froze.
“…Of what?”
“Blackwood Library,” Gojo said, smile widening. “You didn’t go… but you thought about it.”
Silence.
The worst part?
The absolute worst, most offensive part?
He had.
And judging by the look on Gojo’s face,
He knew.
“Oh my God,” [M/n] said flatly. “I hate you.”
“No,” Gojo replied smoothly, standing from the chair like this conversation hadn’t just taken ten years off [M/n]’s life. “You’re intrigued.”
“I’m concerned.”
“Close enough.”
Before [M/n] could even process that response, Gojo pulled a folded note from his pocket and placed it beside the coffee [M/n] hadn’t even gotten to drink yet.
[M/n] looked down at it like it personally insulted him.
“Absolutely not.”
“You haven’t read it.”
“I don’t need to.”
“Coward.”
[M/n] immediately looked up.
“…You are so annoying.”
Gojo grinned bright, unfair, dangerous.
“And yet?”
[M/n] said nothing.
Because unfortunately… there was no comeback for that.
“Tonight,” Gojo said, already heading for the door like he hadn’t just ruined [M/n]’s entire morning, “ten o’clock.”
“You cannot keep doing this weird cryptic nonsense!”
Yandere! Sentinel Prime x Gn! Prime! Reader (Yandere 🩸/ Angst 💔)
(1/2) - Next
Tw: Death of the 13 Primes + Sentinel is your own warning + Depression + Suicidal thoughts - Suicide attempts by the reader + Isolation + Obsessive and possessive Sentinel.
Length: 5.6k
You were one of the 14 Primes.
The first creations of Primus himself, born from his divine spark.
Your name was (D/n) Prime.
Many would have thought that, being the youngest of your thirteen brothers, you would also be the weakest… the least known.
Oh, how wrong they were.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Even though you were the youngest, you were one of the most feared primes on the battlefield. It was said that you inherited your ferocity and combat prowess from your brother Megatronus.
But your battle skills weren't the only thing that stood out—oh no, need we mention your intelligence?
It was equally sharp, rivaling Alchemist Prime. While you were loved and respected by your people, on the other hand, you were hated and feared by your longtime enemies. Your ancient rivals, the Quintessons, hated you with an almost palpable intensity. (Well, they basically felt this resentment towards your other brothers too-)
And the hatred was reciprocated.
The war between them and you had lasted since the dawn of time, and by then you had lost count of how many battles you had fought alongside your brothers.
But back to talking about your skills...
Anyone who met you on the battlefield preferred nothing to do with you.
And when your brother Megatronus was at your side on the mission… well, your enemies could only pray they'd survive those battles.
Because you and your beloved (P/w) left no one or nothing standing.
Sure, sometimes you could be a little… brutal in combat.
But hey, that was just your style.
It was your way of fighting, and you were quite proud of it.
And now you'd think that since you were one of the strongest Primes, your brothers would let you go with them on every mission? Well, not exactly. When they had to face particularly dangerous missions, they often decided to leave you in your berths.
They didn't do it out of malice.
You loved them with all your spark.
You would have sacrificed your own life for them.
You would have done anything just to see them at least a little bit calm and at peace.
Okay, you granted it. You were their little brother, the one they had to protect at all costs.
But damn it, you weren't a toddler... even if, at times, you could be a little naive.
(And, ultimately, it was understandable.)
But this decision, which had been made long ago, often led to arguments between you and them.
But don't worry, they didn't happen that often...
Who are you kidding? It was obvious that these arguments happened quite often.
After all, you were a terribly stubborn Prime.
And while your stubbornness was a virtue... it was also a real pain in the ass. As time passed, however, the disputes slowly began to diminish. You had begun to accept that condition. (Although you occasionally tried to bargain: to no avail.)
Although that didn't stop you from trying to secretly follow them on their mission.
Only Primus knew how many prayers you had to say to survive the scoldings of Prima Prime and Alpha Trion.
Those... you would never forget.
As the ages passed, however, many things changed. Like the continued progress of your beloved planet, Cybertron prospered... but at the same time, the attacks of your ancient enemies increased ever more.
Sure, you primes were more than enough to wipe out entire battalions of Quintessons.
But having extra support never hurt.
Especially someone who could not only keep track of everything that happened but also intervene in specific cases, and this had to be not only in Iacon but also in other regions of your beloved planet.
And from that small consideration was born: The High Guard.
And over the last thousand years, another problem had also emerged:
Crime and corruption.
And these two were starting to become increasingly frequent.
Furthermore, all fourteen knew that something else was missing to complete this: a Councilor.
And to fill that role, they needed a mech: capable, intelligent... and above all, ambitious. And in the end, that role rested on just one mech in particular:
Sentinel, Chief Councilor of the fourteen primes himself.
According to the selection process, he had been deemed the most suitable candidate among all those presented.
All your brothers liked him, but... you didn't, you couldn't see him the same way they did, even though he did so much for you Primes, he was always punctual, he was always so damned friendly, he never misspoke, not even intentionally, and all of these things made you shiver, as if it were all perfectly calculated.
You'd noticed it often.
It almost seemed like he was constantly seeking the approval of you Primes, in any way possible. Whether it was by delivering reports on your previous battles with impeccable precision, or by always showing up at the right time with useful information.
Everyone appreciated his presence.
You didn't.
There was even a period where he constantly sought the attention of two of your brothers: Zeta and Solus. He almost seemed like a lapdog in the amount of time he spent with them, and the strangest thing was that they didn't seem to mind. Sometimes it almost gave you the impression that Sentinel wanted to be treated as an equal.
But he wasn't.
As respected as he was, he was still a step below you, who represented the absolute pinnacle of Iacon's hierarchy.
You'd even had a conversation with one of them once about Sentinel, but at the end of it they dismissed you with:
"I understand you might not like Sentinel because of his ways... but he's really useful, and besides, he's just doing his job as Chief Counselor."
This conversation ended with a little pat on your (S/c) shoulder pad and a slight smile on your visor from Solus. You simply nodded before giving them a wave and heading towards the training room.
You'd think that conversation would make you feel better...but it didn't. Quite the opposite, in fact it put you even more on edge, and with that, you began to constantly keep an eye on Sentinel.
You didn't like him and you never would.
But can we talk about when he looked back at you? You could feel slight shivers creeping up through your fram, something was definitely wrong. It was as if something sinister was hiding behind those blue optics, but you couldn't put the servos on them yet.
It was still too early and you couldn't take any chances, you hoped it was just your stupid imagination playing with you. You were really hoping right up until the very end.
Oh poor you...
Poor little stupid you...
Surely you were a really naive bot? Yes?
You didn't know that with those extra glances and your sudden interest in Sentinel, you had just condemned yourself.
What a cute little bot you were, he almost felt sorry for you.
These were the thoughts that had just started running through Sentinel's processor. Initially, he didn't give them much thought, before he took a sudden interest in you.
At first, to him, you were just another spoiled Prime who had everything handed to him on a silver platter with the snap of his fingers and who was playing hero, along with his stupid brothers. That was what he thought of you at first. And that's why he initially didn't give your lack of attention the slightest thought; after all, he didn't need it.
He already had the other Primes offering him all the attention he craved. To him, you meant very little.
It was what he kept telling himself.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
Over and over again.
OVER ANS OVER AGAIN.
He was trying to convince himself it was really like that.
You were just another little pebble in his path.
Nothing more.
Nothing important.
But then if it was really like that... If you really meant so little to him.
How was it possible that events had taken this strange turn?
When had you started appearing more and more often in Sentinel's thoughts?
From not caring about you, he began to seek you more and more.
more and more
more and more
more and more
more and more
more and more
more and more
MORE AND MORE.
The exact opposite of what he wanted was happening.
From not wanting your attention, I began to want the exact opposite.
The more Sentinel thought about it, the more his dentas clenched, and his perfectly constructed facade, that mask he had impeccably constructed not only in front of the primes but also of the people of Iacon, was slowly beginning to crack from this anger?
Confusion?
Frustration?
Not even he himself could understand it.
And as time passed, these thoughts only increased.
increased.
increased.
increased.
and increased.
Until they filled every corner of his processor. Now there was only one way out. If he truly wanted to free himself from these unwanted thoughts, he would have to satisfy them.
And that was exactly what he was about to do.
...
...
...
...
...
!!!
Oh, what a shame.
What was supposed to be just a little plan to rid himself of that inexplicable desire... ended up having the complete opposite effect: a sick, completely unhealthy, and wrong obsession.
And he knew it.
He knew full well what was happening inside him, especially deep within his own spark.
And he already knew that, from that moment on, all his future actions would be completely and utterly wrong.
But when had Sentinel ever truly cared about doing the right thing?
So he began to look for every opportunity to spend as much time with you as possible.
But Sentinel didn't just want your gaze.
No, my dear reader, he wanted much more.
He also wanted your succulent praise, just like everyone else had done, he wanted to be the constant center of your attention, he wanted every little fragment of you all to himself.
But it seemed that his little wish wouldn't come true so soon or so easily.
You weren't like all your other brothers.
Absolutely not.
Had he noticed? Absolutely, he had noticed it very well.
You were completely different, you had conflicting opinions about him. And you weren't so easily charmed by his actions, his behavior, or his words. But Sentinel couldn't complain at all.
After all, he liked it when his prey fought.
Little shivers ran through his frame, with the new scenarios building in his processor. The idea of slowly and gently breaking you piece by piece.
Oh, he would enjoy it.
He couldn't wait to make you dependent on him and his ways, his sweet words... full of false promises.
A small, crooked smile appeared on the Counselor's faceplate every time he imagined it.
Destroying you.
Slowly stripping you of your very identity.
And making you nothing without him.
Of having you completely tied to his digits, completely dependent on his presence.
The idea that one day you would have no one left...
No one, but him.
And only him.
He couldn't wait for his little plan to finally be put into action.
Small giggles escaped as he leaned on the balcony of his berth, observing the beauty of the creation that had come directly from Primus's servo's.
It was late at night, and you could tell by the few lights illuminating Iacon, and the completely deserted streets.
In all of this, one thing was certain, once he'd completed that sick little plan of his, a plan that had begun to take shape since the day he'd been chosen as your advisor—he would never let you go anywhere again, unless he was there to accompany you.
And beyond that, he'd also ensure one last thing: you'd never move those delicate little fingers of yours to take care of any task again. You wouldn't even go to the battlefield again; there wouldn't be any need, because he'd take care of it.
And you...you'd stay safe.
And by his side.
Always.
He'd promised himself that.
Even though he wanted it all now, Sentinel knew he couldn't afford to let it all go to waste.
Absolutely not.
Otherwise, not only would he have risked his job, which he had earned so loyally (of course-!), but also his very reputation, and to top it all off, he would have been accused of treason.
Sentinel could already imagine it.
— Oh, the Primes' beloved advisor had set a trap for them, having them killed by the Quintenssons themselves.—
He could already imagine the shocked, disgusted, and betrayed faces of his beloved citizens at this terrible and completely unexpected news. But what he absolutely couldn't allow was for you to distance yourself even further from him.
You were already trying to keep your distance from him, he didn't want a complete crater to form in your rather tense relationship.
Every time he was with you, it was like he was walking on the thinnest of tightropes. The only thing missing was this thorn in the aft—
His thoughts were interrupted by another sudden thought.
Oh, darling, he never wanted you to distance yourself even further from him, he wanted you to stay as close to him as possible. Even if it meant handcuffing you in his own berth.
With this last thought in Sentinel's processor, he finally decided it was time for him to go recharge.
The next day he had a lot of homework to do, as well as assisting everyone else at their daily tasks or meetings.
A last small smile appeared on his derma.
A small, victorious smile.
Because Sentinel knew with absolute certainty that everything would go according to plan, and when that damned day finally arrived... he would have a lot of fun.
There was less and less time left.
And he couldn't wait.
It was another day in Iacon.
Everyone was headed to their destination for the day: some were going to work, others were going out with friends or acquaintances, taking advantage of the beautiful day to spend some quality time or simply have fun, and then there were those who were strolling the busy streets to do some shopping. In short, Iacon was always full of life, and that was what you loved most about your beloved city.
In short, today was a fairly quiet and peaceful day like all the others for ordinary citizens, but not for you.
At that moment you were at a small gathering with your brothers.
You were calmly discussing, calculating, and planning your next steps, not only regarding the battles to come, but also regarding the management of your planet's resources: specifically, the various energon resources that were slowly becoming scarce. This was very, if not extremely, strange; until recently, there had been enough energon to feed you for the next centi-vorns to come, but now the situation was becoming worrying... And this posed a potential problem for the future of your race.
As you were arguing, the conversation also turned to the Quintenssons' latest attacks. Every time you faced them, they became more and more violent, which wasn't a good thing. Which is why you were trying to find a solution as quickly as possible on how to defeat them once and for all. But during the meeting, you felt a pair of very familiar optics watching you.
You didn't have to turn around to figure out who they belonged to.
That's why you decided not to return his gaze. He'd been watching you like a cyber-hawk, his optics trained on you throughout the entire meeting. You swore this very meeting was lasting forever. And his presence just a few steps away from you obviously didn't help in the slightest. Instead, it only increased your internal discomfort, taking into account every small gesture you made, every tiny twitch of your faceplate.
Disturbing.
It was all you could think at that moment.
You wanted to leave. And quickly. If it had been up to you, you would have left even in the middle of the meeting, but you couldn't, and you didn't want to be reprimanded by them.
What about our beloved chief counselor?
Well, Sentinel remained aside, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, so he could have a 180° view of all of you, and of course... especially you, so while he listened attentively to the latest reports, he was also ready to intervene if they needed anything or some information.
As the meeting drew to a close, everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate ways for the rest of the day, while you stayed behind again. This was nothing new: you were a perfectionist, and you liked to leave everything perfectly spotless, just as it was before you arrived.
And as it was nothing new, Sentinel also decided to stay behind with you, trying to give you some sort of 'warm company', so you wouldn't be alone.
Only his presence pushed you to tidy up and clean everything as quickly as possible...
Even though your actions were intercepted by his insistent gaze, you almost felt like he was drilling holes in your helmet, as if he knew that if he continued to stare at you persistently, sooner or later you would turn to meet his blue and calculators optics, and that was exactly what happened, forcing you to finally turn your optics towards the mech in question.
Your (O/c) optics looking into his blue, seemingly warm optics.
“Is there a problem, Chief Councilor?” you asked calmly, and knowing full well that every time you called him that you annoyed him greatly, he kept telling you to call him Sentinel like everyone else was doing now, and you repeatedly did the exact opposite, not wanting to give him any satisfaction.
You were so damn stubborn and cheeky, but he didn't make a big deal about it, in fact he had to admit to himself that he secretly liked this side of you.
"Can't a bot stay a little longer, for no reason, my prime?" The answer wasn't long in coming as he gave you a slight smile, his arms held behind his back in his typical composed stance.
Glancing at him again, you noticed his smile getting smaller and smaller as you kept your optics on him. “As you wish.” you finished coldly, finally finishing putting the last few things away.
Throughout all this, Sentinel watched you silently as you meticulously tidied up your place, noticing how you seemed to pay attention to every single detail just to make sure it was absolutely flawless. He was both impressed and slightly amused, finding this side of you almost endearing in a way.
"You really are a perfectionist, aren't you?"
He teased you, as he began to slowly walk towards you.
You didn't answer him, but you felt his presence getting closer and closer, you heard his measured steps getting louder and louder.
"What is this silence, my prime?"
He continued as he took another step, close enough to feel the faint hum of his systems, accompanied by the silent throb of your spark beneath the layered (A/c) armor.
You could hear from his tone that he was slowly starting to get annoyed by your ways of avoiding any kind of possible word to him.
How dare you.
After everything he was doing for you. For everyone. Was this how you treated him? This disgustingly despicable way. You little brat.
Look at him, you had to look at him.
"You know. You could... at least answer my question."
Sentinel's smirk had long since turned into a slight frown.
Silence. He received no response, you didn't even have the decency to look at him.
Didn't you know that not answering questions was rude? Apparently not, what a rude little bot.
And you, yourself were supposed to represent the meaning of strength and elegance by being yourself a figure from whom generations should take example.
( But don't worry, Sentinel would have personally taken care of your education too.)
His internal rambling was interrupted by your words, "I'm sorry, Councilor, as much as I'd love to hear you talk, I really have to go now." You told him as you turned your entire frame towards him, he was so close.
Too close for your taste.
Your chest was in danger of touching his.
When had he gotten so close? And it had been so quiet, you hadn't even heard him.
Giving him a fake, polite smile and a quick wave, you began to walk briskly towards the massive doors, but before you were completely through them, you swore Sentinel had said something, but you quickly decided to ignore whatever it was.
Serious mistake.
Meanwhile, Sentinel remained in the same position, not even moving by mistake, an eerie silence enveloping him completely. A small growl escaped him at how his interaction with you had gone.
Was this how you treated your beloved future Conjux? Who would soon become Cybertron's future hero and savior.
What a shame.
...
Silence.
Only silence.
And then...
"Hahahahahahahahahaha." giggles, but they weren't normal giggles.
Oh no.
Far from it.
Small, maniacal giggles began to come out of Sentinel himself. After all, he had to contain himself a bit; he was in a public place; anyone could walk in at any moment and hear him laughing that strange way, and honestly, he was trying to avoid it as much as possible; he didn't want any more trouble, he had enough already.
Meanwhile, his pout was turning into a sick little smile, so small that no one would have noticed unless they were right there face to face with him.
The giggles slowly died down as these were Sentinel's only promises.
"Ahhh, do we want to play this game, (D/n)?" he whispered to no one in particular. "Mhm, knowing you're going to lose... how thrilling this is."
As one of his servos flew to immediately cover the sick smile that grew bigger and bigger as he continued.
"I'll always find you, you know. In the hallways? In the meeting room? Even on your patrols, you can't escape me, (D/n), no one can."
While our D/n was busy taking a stroll through the corridors of the vast, luxurious facility, they had just completed some small tasks: such as completing reports from their previous patrols on the surface or taking care of other pointlessly useless bureaucratic procedures.
Being a protector also included taking care of tedious tasks like these.
But at least the thrill of the action made up for it.
In the meantime you had also decided to pay a visit to one person in particular, Soundwave.
It didn't seem like it, but you and the extremely silent mech had a good friendship, even though he often used recordings to talk, well, a rather alternative way to make conversation, but you weren't complaining about it.
Soundwave wasn't the only one who was comfortable around you, his tapes were too, especially those two funny, troublemaking guys Rumble and Frenzy, whenever they tried to pull some sort of prank on you, you always ended up failing to make you fall for it.
In fact, they'd never had peace since then. Soundwave clearly didn't approve of their antics in the slightest, especially towards someone far above him in rank. Yes, you were friends, but he still maintained a certain respect for you.
Ravage had also taken a liking to you, that tape was the first one that as soon as he saw you he would jump on you, you don't even know how he managed to trust you completely, you still remember that time I tried to scratch you, and unfortunately he succeeded, Soundwave immediately apologized for Ravage's behavior, explaining that it was normal for him to be slightly hostile towards people he had just met, but you with a 'Don't worry' gesture let it slide, in the end nothing big had happened, you should have expected him to react like this.
As for the wound? Well, it turned into a small scar on your left servo, and you didn't mind, especially since it was small. (Luckily.)
Reaching the designated location, where your friend was most likely, you felt something was wrong before you could even open the doors.
Strange.
Not giving this feeling too much weight, you decided to dismiss it as you opened the huge doors of the designated room.
...
...
...
There was no one there. The room was completely empty. Only an eerie silence greeted you and invited you in.
You began to feel a slight discomfort, jumping on yourself.
(Hell there wasn't even Starscream on his supposedly bad throne.)
But back to us...
Only one question swirled in your processor: What happened to them? Was today a day off for everyone in this High Guard faction? Meanwhile, your confusion began to manifest itself on your faceplate.
Most likely you would have sent a message to Soundwave later.
But for now it was better to ask your brothers for information, maybe they must have known something.
Maybe some last minute changes of plans?
Well, that was certainly the most plausible answer.
Retracing your steps you noticed another strange thing inside the luxurious structure:
It was all quiet, too quiet for your taste.
You couldn't hear any chatter, no guards passing by, not even a breath of wind.
Okay, what the frag was going on?
With this awareness that something was wrong, you quickly reached Alpha Trion's office.
Reaching his office, you wasted no time in making your unexpected presence known. With a quick knock, you patiently awaited a "come in" from the other side.
Too bad it never arrived.
You knocked a second time, slightly louder than the first time. Maybe he was so busy with his tasks that he didn't hear the knock, right?
Wrong.
Because for the second time, no answer comes from the other side of the door.
Only the silence that enveloped you in an unsettling embrace. And that only increased your damned anxieties.
Without further ado, you entered the office. The most you would have received was a light reprimand for scaring him, despite having warned him twice of your presence.
But as soon as you entered.
...
...
...
...
...
!!?
No one, there wasn't even the slightest hint of Alpha in his office. His office was tidy, immaculate, as if he hadn't even set a pede in it that day. All his things were in their usual places. You tried checking his desk drawers, perhaps you could find something there that could explain this sudden mass absence.
You found nothing except papers and various documents.
After your fruitless search, you hurried out of his office, and decided to head to another of your brothers, Megatronus.
He had to be there, he was locked up day and night inside the training room, you tried to convince yourself, it had to be like this!
Arriving at your other destination, you suddenly opened the large doors, without wasting any more precious time, "MEGATRONUS-", you shouted, hoping for an answer from him.
But guess what?
Same result as before: no one was there.
Now you were starting to seriously panic and so you started checking every single one of your brothers' berths and offices.
Obviously, to no avail.
It was as if they had all vanished into thin air.
But the question still remained:
What was happening?
It was the same one that had been circulating inside your processor for so long you couldn't explain it. And if they'd gone on a mission, they'd surely have warned you, as they did every single time.
You spent the next few grooms in your berths, trying to send messages to other companions and acquaintances, but none of them were ever sent at all, or they weren't read.
Too bad you were so caught up in your thoughts and desperately trying to reach someone that you didn't notice the familiar sound of footsteps getting closer and closer to you.
Measured. Light. Calculated.
Noticing this, you now turned your full attention to that familiar noise, but you would still remain alert.
The walking stopped abruptly, as if no one had been there, as if it were the product of your own processor.
And then, a sweet, familiar laugh echoed through the room...
Should you have already started booking your first appointment with some kind of shrink? No, because things were getting crazy.
"You shouldn't hide from me like this..." Sentinel's voice whispered inside your helm. "Especially when I've made it my duty... to protect you at all costs."
You heard the Sentinel's voice say near your auditory receptors, Your (O/c) optics widened, every nerve in your body tensed like a compressed spring, whipping around you noticed...
Absolutely nothing.
Another giggle.
And then a message.
Miss me yet?
What the frag?! Feeling the adrenaline starting to circulate through your very circuits, you slowly turned toward the door to your berths. It was locked, so why all this sudden worry? And besides, you were a Prime for Primus' sake. You'd faced far worse.
You couldn't let Sentinel scare you like that.
A sudden knock brought you out of your sudden thoughts, you almost screamed, but you managed to calm down just as quickly, your clarity was being tested too severely.
But maybe...
Could that knocking have belonged to your own brothers? Zeta? Nexus? Vector or Solus? A second knock, slightly louder than the first, made you turn your attention back to the door. And to who was there, after all.
Another shiver ran down your spine as you slowly stood up and finally decided to position yourself a few steps from the entrance, your servos poised on your weapon.
"Who is it?" you asked, your voice firm.
Silence.
Then...
"You know who I am."
Sentinel.
And before you could respond... A soft chuckle from the other end.
"Open up, my prime. I brought your daily energon." You didn't completely trust him at that moment, you didn't trust his tone, it was as if he was trying to hide something...like his true intentions behind those simple, common gestures.
You didn't want to let him in for any reason.
With your weapon still in your servos, you could feel a drop of oil running down your metallic forehead and a slight tremor from your servos.
Damn, calm down, you repeated over and over in your poor processor.
Calmdowncalmdowncalmdowncalmdown-
Your mental monologue was interrupted by another chuckle, followed by a pause, as if Sentinel had stopped to think. You could picture his expression perfectly: head slightly tilted, arms crossed, that annoyingly charming smile in place.
"No need to be so hostile, my prime," he crooned through the door. "It's just me. Open up. Come on. Don't be afraid."
His tone was friendly, but there was a slight edge. A warning.
"Or would you prefer me to force the door myself?"
Your anxiety continued to increase, and instead of complying as requested, you decided to do the exact opposite.
"I'm not hungry, Councilor, but thank you." You thanked him with feigned calm, and hoping he hadn't heard your tremors as you spoke, still holding your weapon, you looked to your right for a way out.
The window that had once been near your berth was gone.
What?
How was that possible?!
Okay, the situation was quickly getting out of hand.
Either you were really going crazy.
Or was there something in that energon tea you had been drinking recently? Even if you don't believe it.
"Is something wrong, my prime?" Sentinel's voice lowered, a mock concern tinged with something darker.
"You seem… tense."
Scrap.
He had noticed.
"Don't worry, counselor, nothing happened."
You tried to convince him, so he would leave as quickly as possible. No response from the other side.
At that silence, you instinctively stepped back, until your armor touched the wall. Your (O/c) optics landed on where the window had been.
You had also noticed that your communications had been strangely interrupted, could it get worse?
Oh wait, yes.
A sudden faint hum of the servos behind you, not yours, sent your life spark into overdrive.
But before you could turn around...
A whisper crept through the air vent above you...
"Why run away from me, love?"
Then silence returned...
Heavier than before....
Because deep down, you knew:
He was already inside your berths.
You screamed as you pointed your supposed weapon at him, which was supposed to be in your servos.
But guess what?
It had suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"Finally showing off your fighting side?" Sentinel's soft laugh echoed in the dark room, bouncing off every wall as he circled you. You could almost imagine that smug smirk dancing in his gaze.
Seeing your expression completely lost, he couldn't help but let out another soft chuckle.
"Now it's just you and me."
"STAY AWAY!" You screamed, trying to keep him as far away from you as possible.
Did you really think Sentinel would listen to your command?
A single step forward, calculated, relentless.
Sentinel loomed in your space, close enough for you to feel the heat of his body, the hum of his systems syncing all too well with yours.
"I feel it, your spark vibrates when I'm near you-" he began in a normal tone.
And with each statement it lowered further and further until it became a veiled whisper.
"Those little fleeting glances you throw at me every time during meetings, they're not so fleeting after all, are they?"
A servo rose to tenderly caress your faceplate.
“DON’T TOUCH ME!” you screamed as you tried to break free not only from his iron grip, but also from his unwanted touches.
Sentinel didn't move.
Rather...he smiled.
A slow, dangerous curl of his lips as he watched you: his chest rising and falling with difficulty, his optics shining with fury... and sick possession.
His tender side, as it appeared quickly, disappeared just as quickly.
"Keep going," he murmured, urging you on. "Fight. Scream at me. Tell me I must burn in the depths of Cybertron."
"But we both know that's not what you really want."
"You can run as fast as you want, love."
"I will always reach you wherever you are, that's a promise."
With those last words, he proceed to move your faceplate closer to his, despite your constant struggle to keep him away from you in every way possible but to no avail.
But this apparently only served to encourage him further.
And then-
A scream.
You suddenly screamed from the nightmare you had just had, sitting up abruptly in your berth and proceeded to quickly look around.
No sign of Sentinel.
A small sigh of relief escaped you unconsciously.
Looking near your berth you saw the window from which you could admire all of Iacon, it was surely the dead of night from the silence in which your beloved city was pampered.
Feeling something wet on your metallic forehead, you raised your servo to check: drops of oil.
They were descending very slowly, due to the fright they had had a few kilicks before.
What a nightmare...and yet it seemed so real.
"Primus…"
You muttered, touching your faceplate.
Knock knock knock.
Your attention was drawn towards the direction of your door.
Curiosity arousing in you, wondering who it was, you got up very slowly from your bunk, approaching with small steps:
