He watched as you got up to go get another drink, suddenly being stopped by a random guy. He started a conversation with you, looking you up and down. Lou was nearly close to attacking that guy and the final straw was when he put a hand on you. He got up and walked to you and pulled you close. The other guy scoffed, walking away from you two. Lou grabbed your hand and you both left the party. He watched as you clung to his side, nearly teary eyed from the event. Once you got home, he carried you from the car to your room. He laid you down on the bed as you watched him take his clothes off in front of you, his abs on full display just for you. He helped take off the dress from you, taking everything off until you were bare for his eyes only. He pressed kisses down your neck as his hands traveled down your stomach. His fingers pressed into your hole as one went back up to your chest, squeezing and pinching you.
You couldn’t think straight as his dick nearly split you in half. “Mmh, so sorry darling but I have to do this.” You didn’t think you wanted him to stop, the way he was trying to be careful yet rough. He loved you too much to hurt you. He felt as you came around him, clamping down tightly around. “Don’t worry my love, I’d never leave you, you’re too precious for me.” You let him press a kiss to your lips as he came inside you. Whispering against your lips just how much he loved you.
AN: I'm going to make this in clarification. I have this updated, and I moved it from @mythicwonderland , which used to be my writing account. I will delete the old version. This is still an 18+ blog, but this piece is SFW and for idols 18+ years old internationally. Thank you!!

Morning light shines with its beautiful phenomenon outside that had awoken you from your nightly slumber. You sat up rubbing the sleep from your eyes while the chilled air brushed over your skin, giving you goosebumps. Leaning over, grabbing a coat from the nearby chair and putting it on. Moving to the edge of the bed pushing your favorite colored sheets aside. You slipped your feet onto the wooden floor, standing up.
Heading over to the thermostat outside the shared bedroom with your boyfriend seeing the temperature low. You turned up the heat to warm up the house before heading back in your shared bedroom. You went over to the window seeing it slightly frosted. You hummed bringing your finger up to write on the window, mainly your beloved and your names with a heart shape surrounding both names. Smiling at the creation.
You turned reaching to the nightstand, picking up your phone from the night stand leveling it to aim at the creation you made on the window a moment before while turning on your camera app. Hearing the clicks, you went to check the pictures to see how they turned out. You were so focused that you didn’t hear footsteps approaching your position. You smiled seeing how the pictures turned out before strong arms wrapped around you made you jump. Using your phone quickly to see the reflection of the culprit, you finally relaxed seeing it be your boyfriend of four years.
“When are you going to stop scaring me?” You asked slightly teasing while you raised your free hand onto his arm gently.
“It won’t be for a long time” your lover clarified with a chuckle, teasing back with a smile. Nuzzling into your neck caused you to shiver with a smile. Lightly hitting his arm, making him burst out in laughter before he kisses your cheek while holding you a little longer, his head in the crook of your neck. You looked out the window, tapping lightly on their arm before he lifted his head and looked out the window with you, watching the snow fall so gracefully for a few minutes. He kissed your temple after a while of watching the snow fall outside feeling at peace with you in his arms, breathing deeply in contentment.
He is always angelic and beautiful. He is always so perfect and you are so lucky to call him your lover. The way he longing gazes at you or the way he holds you so perfectly in your sleep, and especially the way he lets out the most beautiful moans when you reward him for being a good boy.
Which is exactly what is happening in this very moment. He tilts his head back, letting out a soft sigh as you gently give kitten licks to his throbbing member. “(Y/N), baby I need more, please.”
You peer up, gazing into his eyes which are full of lust. “In time angel, let me make you feel good,” you coax, beginning to wrap your lips around his head.
You let your tongue gently swirl around his leaky sex, putting pressure on his slit and spreading his precum around. “Aagh, (Y/N),” he let out a small gasp, bucking his hips forward to gain more friction.
You felt yourself smirk with him inside of you as you complied with his wishes. Letting your mouth do the work, you let his length fall deeper through your lips. You suppress your gag reflex as you hollowed out your cheeks, stimulating his twitching cock to the extent.
“Baby, that feels so-- nngh-- good,” he let out a high pitched whimper. Peering up with his cock still in your mouth, you managed to utter out, “Good boy.”
He resisted the urge to move his hips as your mouth and tongue stimulated his erection. You let your free hand snake to the bottom of his shaft and cup his balls, putting pressure where he wants it. He felt his head fall back and his member twitch inside of you.
“(Y/N), I’m so-- ahhg-- close,” he begged. You definitely knew, by the way his cock throbbed and his shaky thighs, it was all too familiar. Teasing him even further, you pulled your mouth fully off of his sex and looked up at him.
“Beg for it Wooyoung,” you stifled boldly. “Love, please, I need you. Make me cum baby,” he whined.
You felt your lips perk into a smile as you complied. You wrapped your lips over the head of his cock as you let your hand wrap around his length. You began to stroke as you let your tongue dance around before you ghosted it over his slit. He stilled his hips and once you gently pressed on his slit, it was enough to make him come undone.
“(Y/N), I’m cumming-- nng-- now,” he stuttered with a moan as white hot spurts of his cum landed in your mouth. He panted, trying to calm down from his high as you swallowed as much as you could of his release and gently sucking on his twitching cock again to clean him up well.
“You did very well Wooyoung, thank you for letting me treat you like the prince that you are,” you cooed with a smile before placing a small kiss on his nose.
Your eyes moved from one side to the other on the huge poster where each and every one of the flavors of bubble tea were found, among other things like coffee and some snacks.
"Taro or coconut?" You bit your lip when the line started to move because you still couldn't decide what to order. "But mint chocolate..." When you were in second place, the girl in front of you was small so you had a wide view of the counter and its employees.
The employees were normal, everyone wore the uniform correctly and didn't seem like anything out of this world ... until you looked at him. The little sign on his white shirt said "Geumhyuk". He was definitely not wearing the uniform like everyone else, his apron was only covering his hip and part of his legs while the sleeves of his shirt were folded in such a way that the large tattoo on his arm could be seen. His movements were fast and precise as he smiled at the client. He looked like a cool professional, a very handsome professional.
The sides of your lips rose in a smile as you saw Geumhyuk turn to you after he had delivered a large order to a group of friends.
"Welcome to Coco Fresh..." He began to say in a calm, confident voice until he looked you straight in the eye and began to hesitate. "W-what do you want to order?"
You raised an eyebrow and smiled even more as you saw a small blush take over his cheeks.
"I really don't know what to order so... I think I will choose a classic milk tea with full sugar and regular ice"
To be honest, Geumhyuk's brain had stopped working the moment he saw your smile. All his cool facade and confidence left him the moment your eyes made contact with his. His ears had stopped listening, completely ignoring your request, his brain was only focused on admiring the beauty of your smile and preventing his entire face from blushing.
"Sorry, I didn't listen" He said, embarrassed. "Can you repeat it?"
"I want a classic milk tea with full sugar and regular ice"
"Okay, give me a minute"
Occasionally Geumhyuk would stare at you, forgetting that he was working and that he had to finish your order. Occasionally, your gazes met and you smiled broadly, closing your eyes tenderly.
"Here is your order"
When you looked at your bubble tea, you realized that there were more pearls than normal. On top of that, a small chocolate chip bun was on the side of your order. When you looked at him with a confused expression, he smiled shyly and ducked his head, looking at the ground.
"On the house"
Your heart melted and you couldn't help but giggle, excited. You paid for your purchase and grabbed your things, feeling some butterflies flutter in your stomach.
You would definitely go back to Coco Fresh to see the cool and shy guy with the sleeve tattoo. And Geumhyuk would definitely wait for you to come back to order your bubble tea with full sugar and regular ice.
Summary: This year's spring is definitely going to be different. Not only the beautiful flowers will be carried away by the warm spring breeze.
A/N: This is my first story I have ever written so I hope you guys enjoy it :) I'm also open for any form of criticism so I can improve my writing. Also English isn't my first language so I hope you guys will understand.🌸
"I don't know what I'd do without you Y/N!"
You raise your head and look at your best friend Lou, sitting across the table. "Just because I let you copy my homework... When are you going to start doing it yourself Lou?"
He rolls his big brown eyes "But you know I'm very busy at the moment. If I don't practice enough then how am I supposed to be an actor one day?"
Well he isn't wrong. He really invests a lot of his free time into acting lessons. It's his big dream after all. "Fine I can't just let that bubble burst" you giggle and poke the tall boy's nose.
Lou just smiles at your action and gets back to copying your answers onto his piece of paper.
After school you guys normally hang out at his place where you either be his acting partner or you insist on playing some video games.
This afternoon you're lucky and the two of you actually play a few rounds of Overwatch. A game Lou has recently discovered. It feels like hours have passed when he stands up and does some stretches. "That was fun" you say with a big smile on your face.
"Definitely but you still got a lot to learn. We almost lost every round Y/N" Lou says while scratching the back of his head. "Yes sir!" you salute him and stand up as well. He just smiles at your action and looks at his phone. "It's already past 10 pm so I suggest you better go home now Y/N or your parents are going to be worried again" he raises an eyebrow at you while trying not to laugh. Yes, Lou is your best friend but your parents didn't care much about that fact. They are very strict and didn't like it when you were hanging out with boys more than girls.
"Yeah yeah I know" you sigh "If only my parents would be a little less... well like they are now and my life would be so much easier" you grab your bag and start to head for the door of Lou's room as he suddenly takes your hand gently into his. "Y/N uhm you know that next week spring vacation starts so I was wondering if..." you look at him slightly confused "Lou? What's the matter?" your best friend just stands there, still holding your hand while blushing oh so slightly. He continues "well I know a beautiful place we could go and take some nice photographs." One of your biggest hobbies was photography. "And where exactly would this place be and especially what is there that I can take pictures of?" you ask him, still a little confused. "It's a flower field I have discovered recently. People told me that there would be a lot of rare and beautiful flowers. And I thought since you like photography so much we could visit it and take some pictures" His heart was beating faster with every word that left his lips. Yes, he is your best friend but what you didn't know yet is that Lou had a crush on you for a long time now. You smile gently at his invitation "Well I can't say no to such a great idea" Lou smiled happily and lets go of your hand "Now go home or you'll get yelled at again" he mockingly says. "Yeah yeah don't worry too much about that" you giggle slightly as you walk out of the door and onto your way home. Lou just lived a few houses away of yours so it only takes you a few minutes to reach it.
When you arrive at home you are lucky again as your parents are sound asleep. You sneak up the stairs into your room quietly and lay on your bed. The feeling of Lou holding your hand... the way he looked at you... Many thoughts about him, about the two of you, are racing in your head until you fall asleep.
The last week of college felt like it would never pass. Luckily it did after all.
"Why is college sooo haaaard" you sigh as you walk next to your tall best friend. He pats your head "Don't worry Y/N, we got some time off now" You smile up at him and nod your head "You're right... Let's just try and enjoy the time with no homework or studying until late at night"
Today you agreed to visit the flower field, Lou has talked about. However you have mixed feelings about it. The past week, Lou hasn't left your thoughts one time. Somehow you always have to think about him, his big brown eyes, his gummy smile whenever you do something silly... Just everything that made him so dear to you. You even noticed that your heartbeat increase whenever he would hug you or as just now pat your head. You always ask yourself one question - Am I in love? - This question was driving you crazy. For once you know Lou is your best friend and you trust me. So why not change that title to him being your boyfriend? At the same time you are scared because you don't know if he feels the same. So of course you're not just going to confess right away and risk your friendship.
You just don't know what to do about your heart, your feelings or your thoughts.
"Y/N!" you hear him yell from across the street.
You were waiting for him to come over so the two of you can walk to the flower field together.
After a short walk you already reach the field and were taken aback by how beautiful it was. So many different flowers are dancing with the warm spring breeze. Immediately you take out your camera and start to take lots and lots of pictures. "This place is absolutely amazing Lou!" you exclaimed. Lou watches you and smiles to himself. He then has an idea and starts picking some of which he thought were the most beautiful flowers in the field. You are too busy to see what he is up to. "Wow so many great pictures. That was the best idea e-" You're not able to finish your sentence as you feel something soft on top of your head. You gently touch it and realize it was a flower crown. "Yes that is definitely your style" Lou giggles as he takes your camera "And now smile"
A slight blush sits on your face as you smile gently into the camera. Lou takes a few pictures.
After that the two of you lay down into the flower field and look up at the clear blue sky.
All of this makes you nervous nonetheless. You turn your head to look at your best friend. He has his eyes closed, breathing slowly.
He looks so peaceful you think to yourself. Then suddenly a hand reaches out to you and pulls you into a tight hug. "L-Lou?" you stutter surprised. "Y/N..." he sighed and opens his eyes to look directly into yours. "All these flowers are beautiful but if you ask me, nothing compares to you" your heart feels like it stops for a moment. "..." you look at his flushed face not being able to say anything. "You're the most important person in my life Y/N and I know you may not feel the same as I do but my heart couldn't take it any longer. I need to tell you how I feel" he continues softly. Your head was spinning, your heart was racing. You look into his beautiful eyes and just smile. But it wasn't just a simple smile. "Looks like you've won this round" you slightly giggle at him. He gives you a confused look. "What do you mean Y/N?" "I mean that I feel the same about you silly" you boop his nose with yours gently, lips not touching each other. He almost doesn't believe his ears. You were also in love? With him?
He still holds you in his arms as his lips gently find their way onto yours. It was a simple kiss but it felt sweeter than anything for the both of you.
You look at him completely blushing "D-Does that mean that... we're a couple now?"
Lou just smiled at you and says "Of course my sweetheart" You're heart almost skipped a beat after hearing this nickname "Hey who allowed you to already nickname me" you pout slightly.
He pinches your nose softly. "I did and now let's just enjoy spring together"
A/N: This is based on the musical Heathers and on the number Dead Girl Walking. Changing some names cause why not diversity. DON’T BREAK INTO ANYBODY’S ROOM TO FUCK THIS IS FICTION OK?! Also shits all over the place cause it is in the song...
Moodboard made by the lovely (😂😉) @lovely-kpopp-blog
It is closing onto midnight, yet you are outside thinking of what had happened at the party. The Heathers set up this plan to hurt Emma Martinez your friend. Sure she was chubby and has a weird obsession over Ray Patil, the star quarterback in school but she was still your friend. And Ray was a nice kid back in the day but now he along with the Heathers; Chan, Mckingly, and Smith, are part of the “it” crowd.** **
They dressed up a pig piňata as Emma and were going to have her wack it. You’ve been feeling guilty for helping with the plan, so you yanked the piňata out of the Heathers grasp and chuck it to the pool.
This did not please Heather Mckingly, and the Demon Queen put out that Monday morning that you were deleted from the “it” crowd.
Now you are walking around thinking of how you were going to either fix this or get away from it. You could change your name and go to Seattle, it is getting popular these days. But you don't have a car or a motorcycle for-
The only person who you know who has a motorcycle is Van, the new guy. (His real name is Geumhyuk Lee but most call him Van cause that's all he wears.) It might be all in your head but it seems like the both of you have some sort of connection. You might even say you may have a crush on him.
One time you were making a convenience store run for the Heathers. Things kept slipping and dropping. For how skinny they are you were surprised at the amount of snacks they wanted.
“Need any help?” You turned to see Van behind you giggling.
“Uh yeah sure” You quickly handed him a bag of chips, gum, and candy, hoping that you are able to suppress the blush that was trying to rise up to you cheeks. Even though he was dressed simply with a black tee, jeans, and a denim jacket he looked really good.
You guys talked while waiting in line. Now you know that his family is military and that's why he doesn't really get close to many people. Also he loves reading and beaches. Sadly you guys weren't anywhere near one.
You are just walking aimlessly when you see Van from a window stripping down. And man homeboy is RIPPED. Not only that but he has tattoos that just made you water. Well at least you can spend the next thirty hours getting freaky with him.
Seeing the light turn off, you climb the tree next to his room. Before Heathers can punch your clock, you snap off his window lock.
You crawl inside taking note on how bare his room is. Not that it was empty but that there isn't anything on the walls. There are clothes thrown around, books, some CDs and what not.
Sitting beside him on the bed you tap him awake.
"What are you doing in my room?!" Is the first thing he asks when he stirs.
You get on top of him legs on either side of him. "I'm sorry I woke you up. I decided that I should ride you till you can't anymore." With every few words you kiss his neck going down. "At the party Heather said I have to go." You kiss down his torso sucking here and there. "So now you are my last meal on death row." Licking your lips you see his tented boxers.
You pull them down to free his now hard dick. "Can I?"
"God yes please" You lick his shaft from base to tip earning a deep groan from him. Giving you a boost of confidence you wrap your lips around his tip. Getting used to having a dick in your mouth, you slowly took on more and more of it till you nose is touching the base.
Once you start bobbing your head you feel his hand grip your hair tight, making you even more turned on. You swirl your tongue around him.
"Oh fuck, you have no idea how many times I've imagined you doing exactly this." He pulls you off of him and starts making out with you. As Van is distracting you he rips your button down off. He takes off both your blazer and the shirt off. Even as you're grinding down on him he can feel how wet you are through your panties. Thinking about how he can't have you waiting, he makes quick work with your bra, skirt and underwear.
Taking you by surprise he flips you on your back and starts kissing down your now naked body. Once he reaches where you most want him to touch you the bastard starts teasing you. He kisses around your core. Van also bites and kisses your thighs. Seeing him between your legs is hot and all but you are starting to get antsy.
Out of nowhere you feel a finger penetrate you. His finger curls inside of you as your toes curl against the sheets. Van wraps his lips around your clit sucking hard. You arch your back and your hands entangled through his hair.
Van takes a look at you humming at the sight. Your head is thrown back, mouth agape, love bites forming all over your body. He only dreamed of having you withering like this. Now he's dream is coming true and it's so much better as a reality.
He adds another finger, feeling you clench around them gets him more turned on. He was about to wrap his hands around himself, when you pull him up.
Growling you tell him "Put it in me right now!"
You flip him over you that you're on top again before you could do anything else he stops you.
"Wait are you sure? I don't have condoms right now."
"Look Van, I'm horny, pissed, and on the pill. Now I'm pretty sure you know the drill, right?" With that you sink down on him, both of you moaning at the sensation.
Once you got used to the feeling of his cock inside of you, you start to grind against him. His hands gripping your sides helping you keep pace. "Remember how you told me you were numb?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't agree, to me Van, you're beautiful." You grab his face and kiss him.
Once you pull apart, with stars in his eyes, he asks, "Can I ask, how did you find my address?"
"Luck, I looked up to see you through the window."
After a bit of letting you ride him, he starts thrusting into you, causing you to yelp. He starts to thrust into you hard. Euphoria starts to coil inside of you with every thrust.
"Fuck me harder please. Make me forget everything."
"I will baby, I will." You didn't think possible but he went even harder. With one final thrust he sent you over the edge. You fall on to him trying to regain your breath.
"Wait Van you didn't came yet..."
"I will in a bit. And don't call me Van just say my name."
"Geumhyuk…?"
"Yeah just like that." He flips you on your back again. "Ready? Cause we're going all night if we can."
Even though you weren't you nodded yes. His thrust started slow and deep. Van's- no Geumhyuk's lips found yours. He took your hands and pin them in one of his. You arch into him. His lips move from your mouth to your neck, soft mews escape your lips.
"Geumhyuk please just don't hold back, I need it har-" the snap of his hips made you lose your train of thought. The biting and sucking, him marking you made your head swim. Every moan that reaches his ears encourages him to harder. Still sensitive from the first orgasm it did not take long for ecstasy to coil and burn inside of you again.
Before you came he pulls out and flips you on all fours. You couldn't complain about the emptiness, when he thrust into you again. From this position his dick feels different. Geumhyuk also is going harder and faster, making your eyes roll back in pleasure.
"Geu- Geumhyuk fuck, more give me more please! Pull my hair, slap me please!" Your hands grip on to the mattress.
"Damn babe I think you ripped my mattress, for that you'll. Have. To. Pay." He punctuated every word with a hard thrust making you tear up. His hand comes to your throat and pulls you up your upper back to his chest. His other hand reaches in between your legs. Needing something to hold you grab his wrist.
"Touch me there, right there Geumhyuk I, I'm gonna cum again"
"I'm gonna cum too"
He feels your body spasm and your pussy clench around him.
"Ssss ow!" Lost in the feeling you scratch his arms. Biting down on your neck, grunting, he comes inside of you.
He sees you fall on to his bed panting, sweat glistening from your body, and cum starting to seep out your cunt.
Geumhyuk gets up and grabs a box of tissues to help you clean up.
After clean up he asks you "So what happened at the big Homecoming party that brought you here?"
Snuggling up to him you answer "I'll tell you in the morning but right now I want to sleep, goodnight" you peck his cheek.
Ooh could you please do some form of fluff with Lou from VAV, I love him 🥺💛
that's my seat
A/N - ngl ... i really like this :') i wish more tumblr people stanned vav to come by this post and get completely heartwrecked by soft boyfriend!hosung
-
"get out of my chair." you said, crossing your arms in front of hosung, who claimed his spot in your seat. well, it wasn't officially your chair since he bought it, but you were the only one of you two who ever sat in it. he usually opted for a comfortable seat on the sofa or something, but this time around he dared to take your spot.
"come on, hosung-ah.." you whined, trying to pull him out of the chair. hosung tilted his head and raised an eyebrow before standing up and towering above you. his 6'2" figure looming over your smaller one intimidated you the tiniest bit, so you sighed before he chuckled and sat back down on your throne. "bow down, young lady." he laughs, watching you scoff to try and hide the smile cracking through. "come on, the king is waiting." he said, watching you kneel after shaking your head in utter disbelief.
"i am the king, and you're my queen." he said, holding out his hand for you to grab so you could get back up from kneeling. "so, where's my throne then?" you ask him, keeping his hand safe in yours even though he tried to pull it back gently. "here." he said softly, patting his lap with his free hand. you rolled your eyes before noticing he was serious, giving in to sit down on his legs; his chest to your back.
you let go of his hand that snaked to your stomach, where it met the other, clasping them on top of your tummy. "isn't this way more comfortable..?" he asks after a while, playing with a strand of your hair. you nod and respond with a quiet "yeah, actually..", hearing hosung victoriously click his tongue.
a silence fell, but it didn't feel uncomfortably long thanks to his fingertips tracing small patterns on yohr stomach. "let's just stay like this for a while, hm..?" he suggested in a soft whisper. you calmly hum in response, closing your eyes as you let yourself get captivated by his gentle touch.
you noticed how his fingertips started moving slower and slower, but you didn't think much of it until they came to a stop completely. only then you heard soft snoring against the back of your shoulder, causing you to crack that beautiful smile. you turn his forearm to write 'i ♡ u' on it with your fingertip, before leaning back on his chest to close your own eyes. unconciously, his arm wraps around your waist again, making you feel safe and warm one last time.

You don't know how much time has passed by now.
Everyday is the same for you - you keep wandering the brightly lit hallway in front of your room, never going too far, always returning before it gets dark outside.
Sometimes you follow the doctors or nurses into some of the other occupied rooms on this ward, observe how they treat patients, how they talk to family members, how they sometimes break down when someone didn't pull through.
Like you.
Well, technically you're not dead.
Yet.
Right now, you - or rather, your body - is laying in room 394. Machines help you breathe, help you get nourishment, help you stay alive.
At least for the time being.
You guess a bit over four weeks have passed since your car accident (not your fault, but the drunk driver who hit you only got a few bruises, while you are now stuck in a coma - life's funny like that sometimes). Your family and friends still visit regularly, some more than others, they are the only entertainment you get in this world in-between. You haven't seen other... ghosts, lost souls or whatever you are, yet. You also haven't looked for any, if you're being honest.
You have watched enough Supernatural to know there are only two possibilities for you: move on or stay stuck forever.
You don't believe the encouraging words of the doctors, promising your parents a speedy recovery once you wake up. If you wake up sounds more like it. You heard some nurses talk in low voices behind your parents’ back - that the chances you'll ever wake up again are very slim indeed. Probably going towards zero by now.
You sigh, stroll around your room and look out of the window and into the dark night sky. No stars are visible tonight, the bright lights of the city masking the natural light of the far aways suns completely.
"There you are."
You whirl around, clutching your heart - is it possible for a ghost (lost soul, whatever) to have a heart attack? Because you're pretty sure you almost got one thanks to the person now standing in the middle of your room.
His hair is blond and a bit unkempt, he's tall and slim and sports a soft smile, his eyes forming little crescents.
"Uh. Hi.", you just say, a bit dumbfounded.
His smile widens. "Hi."
That's all he gives you. You tilt your head to one side, calculating him with a critical look. "Not to be rude, but who are you?", you ask, feeling a bit bolder thanks to his inviting, open face.
"You can call me Baron.", he answers, burying his hands into the pockets of his white trousers.
"And... you were searching for me?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because you're lonely."
You huff at that. "I'm not! My parents just left. And I know for a fact that my best friend will come visit again - tomorrow morning before her lecture, actually. She told me so herself."
Baron just gazes at you, one eyebrow slightly raised.
You gulp a bit. "And... I mean, there are doctors and nurses and-"
"You haven't left your room."
"That's not true! I was wandering the hallway just yesterday."
"There are others like you here, you know.", Baron offers, tilting his head to the side, "Don't you want to go and meet them?"
You cross your arms in front of your chest, observing the young man in front of you. Nothing gives you the impression he's trying to hurt you or something like that, but you're still undecided. You look at yourself laying on the white hospital bed, look at the tubes coming out of your nose and mouth, at the unnatural paleness of your skin and the dark bruises on your arms, still clearly visible.
"Nothing's going to happen to you, I promise.", Baron says softly, following your gaze, "Your body will remain the same, even if you leave for a few hours."
You take a deep breath and finally nod. "Uh, well, let's go, then."
Baron steers you towards the stairs to take you to one of the higher levels and you follow him carefully. "Don't look so scared. Nothing can hurt you in the in-between.", he finally says, humor sparkling in his dark eyes when he sees your hunched shoulders and paranoid looks. You scowl, dropping your defensive stance a bit.
"But what if a grim reaper shows up and wants to drag me to the afterlife with him?", you ask, trying to sound playful (and failing).
Baron shrugs. "Believe me, if a grim reaper shows up... you won't be able to escape him."
"So they are real?", you whisper, heart suddenly hammering in your chest, panic contorting your face.
Baron's dark eyes slide towards you and when he sees your scared expression, he carefully takes your hand in his. You're surprised at the warmth radiating from of him - it instantly calms you.
"All the stories are real, Y/N.", he murmurs, "But that doesn't mean you need to be afraid of them."
You don't ask how he knows your name - you just continue to follow him quietly, your hand still in his.
Baron takes you to the 11th floor, pulling you towards an open space between two wards. You see a few people mingling, some sitting on sofas, others standing in front of the windows, softly talking to one another.
When you enter the room, most turn around. Almost everyone is clad in hospital gowns just like yourself, but a few are wearing normal clothes. A woman in a flowery dress smiles at you, waving you closer. You gaze at Baron, who nods encouragingly.
When you reach the woman, she quickly takes your hands in hers. "I'm Sofia.", she introduces herself, voice as soft as her eyes, "I'm so happy you could make it to our gathering. Tonight is your first time, right?"
You nod, a bit taken aback, before answering: "I'm Y/N. And I.. actually don't know what I'm doing here."
She laughs at this. "Most of us don't, sweetie. But that's why we're here. Talking to each other helps more than you might think."
With that, she pulls you with her towards the sofas where everyone's already seated. Baron takes the place beside you and you immediately feel calmer, his presence soothing you in a strange way.
Sofia smiles at everyone, before beginning to speak: "Hello everyone, thanks for coming. My name is Sofia and I'm in charge of leading this little gathering tonight. I've been here for five years now, my husband still keeping my body alive and well. Yesterday, he brought our daughter with him - I can't believe she's already turning eight this June. She’s growing up so fast..." She stops, taking a deep breath and wiping a few tears from her face, before nodding at the man beside her.
"Hello, I'm Adam and I've been here for a few months now... About six, I think. My family is still hoping I'll wake up again, but I'm beginning to lose patience... I want to move on. Or go back. I don't want to be stuck here anymore." He looks a bit angry, but when Sofia lays her hand on his, he immediately calms down, nodding at the person besides him.
"What’s up, I'm Jae and I've been here for two years now..."
It goes on like this, everyone stating their name and how long they've been in this world in-between. Then, it's finally your turn (Baron just shook his head, when everyone looked at him expectantly, simply continuing to stay silent). "I'm Y/N and I don't actually know how long it's been since... since the car crash. Definitely a few weeks, I guess. It's actually my first time engaging with anyone in the in-between... I didn't know there were that many of us here.", you explain, "That's why I didn't come sooner. Thanks for having me though, I guess."
Sofia smiles brightly at you and you feel Baron's light touch on your hand. He nods at you, a small smile on his lips.
The next evening, you come back, Baron at your side.
It continues like this for a few weeks: everyone introducing themselves, talking about their problems, about their lives - about anything, really. You soon notice it helps everyone to stay sane in this strange in-between world.
Baron never says anything, though. He's always there, by your side, sometimes holding your hand or gifting you one of his gentle smiles, but he always stays silent during the meetings.
One evening, you can't control your curiosity anymore - while Baron walks beside you through one of the many hallways, you turn towards him: "Who are you?"
He looks surprised at your sudden question, raising one eyebrow. "You know who I am. I'm Baron."
You roll your eyes. "That's just a name. But who - or what exactly are you?"
He considers this for a second, before smiling again. "I'm your comrade in this world in-between."
You huff, crossing your arms. "That's not a real answer. Everyone's my comrade in the in-between - we're all stuck here, all lost."
Baron takes your hand in his, making your heart flutter. He shouldn't have this effect on you, but when you try to pull away from him, he only pulls you closer.
"Do you really want to know?", he asks, voice low and eyes dark.
You gulp a bit, but nod nevertheless.
"I'm an angel." He actually looks a bit nervous at his confession.
You take a step back. "You- what? An... angel? An actual angel?"
He simply shrugs and nods.
"Are you... my guardian angel?"
He snorts. "No. If so, I would really suck at my job, don't you think?"
Well, you are in a coma right now, so he's onto something.
"Uh, yeah.", you answer a bit sheepishly. "Then... what's an angel doing in the in-between?", you ask again, curious about the blond man beside you.
"Looking out for humans, of course."
„But you‘re only ever with me.“
„Yeah. I like you.“ He says is casually, but it makes you heart flutter nevertheless.
„Do you even have feelings?“
He scowls at this, an expression you‘ve never seen on his face before. „Of course! We‘re not demons; we angels have feelings just like any other creature made by God.“
„I meant no offense.“, you quickly say, gently squeezing his hand. Immediately, his face lights up with a smile again.
„I know. Sorry for lashing out.“
Before you reach the 11th floor, you stop again. Baron looks at you, a silent question written all over his face.
„I think I want to skip tonight‘s meeting. Can we go to the rooftop?“, you ask. You’ve been up there only once, together with Jae, a lost soul you‘ve grown fond of. He must have been around you own age when he fell into a coma two years ago; you always laugh a lot when you’re together (mostly thanks to all the vine references he throws at you), managing to forget about being stuck in the in-between for a few hours.
Baron nods. „Sure, if that‘s what you want.“
You take the stairs up to the rooftop; when you finally reach the door leading outside, you’re already out of breath (not having a body sadly didn‘t give you a better stamina). The view is worth it though - the sky is pitch black, so you‘re perfectly able to see the brightly lit skyline tonight. You smile softly, leaning against the railing and gazing into the distance.
You don’t notice Baron‘s gentle, loving eyes on you.
„When I‘m finally back in my body, I want to come back here again.“, you say softly.
At this, the angel smiles sadly.
He knows you won't pull through.
He knows you're stuck in the world in-between because you can't let go of your loved ones.
But he also knows you still need time to accept your fate.
He will wait for you - as he always does.
Two weeks later, the time has finally come.
Tears stream down your cheeks while you listen to the doctors telling your parents that there's no hope for you anymore, that your brain is dead while your body stays alive. Baron is right beside you, your hand securely in his. He holds you close while you press your face in his chest, crying for the life you never got to live.
He takes you back to the rooftop again, the night sky calming you. Your eyes are red and puffy, face swollen from crying. You can't seem to get the heartbroken faces of your parents out of your head.
"It's just not fair.", you whisper, "That he gets to live on while I have to die."
Baron nods solemnly. "I know."
"I can't leave everyone behind like this. I didn't even get to say goodbye, I- I need to tell them I love them and-"
"Y/N."
You look up and into the dark, warm eyes of the angel beside you. He takes both your hands in his. "They know all this already, believe me. They know. The only thing you can do now, is move on."
You sniff. "Move on to where?"
His smile is bright this time. "You'll just have to wait and see. But if you don't move on... You will become a vengeful spirit. And believe me, that's the worst fate there is."
You shiver slightly at his words, hugging yourself tightly. "... Will you be there, too?"
He nods. "I'll be waiting for you on the other side. But you'll have to cross over by yourself, alone. That’s the rule."
You tilt your head upwards and gaze at him with curious eyes. "Are you really an angel, Baron?"
"I am, yes."
"Grim reapers are also called Angels of Death, aren't they?"
Baron nods again, tilting his head to the side, blond locks falling into his dark eyes. "You are smarter than most souls I've gathered from this place."
You sigh. "I was sorted into Ravenclaw, so..."
He looks confused at your reference, so you simply shrug. "Doesn't matter now. What... how- I... I don't know-"
You choke on your own words, but Baron understands you nevertheless. He holds out his hand, his grip strong and warm, as always.
Death really isn't cold and lonely, you think.
Or at least not for you.
"Cross over, Y/N. I'll see you on the other side."
You notice a door appearing behind the angel, a soft light emanating from within.
The last thing you see and feel before you step through, is the warm smile on Baron's face as well as the slight pressure he gives your hand before finally letting you go.
You take a last deep breath, look into your beloved night sky and take a step forward.
Moving on isn't hard, at least not for the person doing it, you notice.
Especially not if someone with a bright smile and warm eyes is waiting for you on the other side.
