warning/s: none!
note/s: same names used from my previous dad!lads fic bc i honestly canât be bothered to think of new ones. also, itâs been a while and i know iâve disappeared for months but!! iâm back now <3. i hope yall enjoyed this one <3Â Â
zayne:Â
the doctor sat at his desk, typing away whilst simultaneously taking down notes from the thesis that he was reviewing. his hazel green eyes were focused on medical terms that he jotted down.
a soft knock interrupts his trance as a confused greyson enters the office holding the hand of a little girl who seemed to have finished crying.Â
zayne raised one of his brows as he silently asked greyson who the little girl was.
âitâs⌠she said sheâs your daughter?â greyson asked, just as confused.Â
huh?Â
âdaddy!â the girl runs to his chair, jumping on his lap, sniffling and nuzzling against zayne. she couldnât be older than seven.Â
zayne awkwardly places a calm hand on her head as he softly shushes the scared child.Â
âi⌠i tried checking the pediatric ward, i thought she was confusing you with someone else, but her name wasnât on the list of admitted patients. she was adamant on seeing you.âÂ
greyson pauses, seeing the resemblance before he clears his throat. âiâll leave you two alone.âÂ
zayne nods as he softly turns to the child.Â
âhello there, can you tell me who you are and where youâre from?â the girl pulls away from her chest and zayneâs eyes slightly widen at the resemblance.Â
the girl has dark hair, hazel-green eyes, and her lips form into a pout the same way that yours did when you didnât get your way. but zayne says nothing, not wanting to assume anything. she pulls away, sniffling. zayne plucks out a few tissues on his desk and dabbing it gently to her tear-stricken face.Â
âi-iâm zia.â she says through hiccups, clutching at zayneâs coat. âiâm fromââ zia recites his address, causing zayneâs comforting hand to freeze on her back. nothing was adding up.Â
she recited his address perfectly yet zayne has never seen her even within the neighborhood much less in his house.Â
âwhen is⌠your birthday?â zia answers, but zayne furrows his brows as she cites a year that was a decade from now.Â
âand your parents?â zayne didnât know why his heart started beating quickly, greyson said that he was a fatherâalthough he was just as confused about the situation, an answer from the girl before him would clarify his questions.Â
âmy daddyâs name is zayne li⌠my mommy isââ
the door to his office opens.Â
âdr. zayne? greyson told me you had company over, i brought you lunch!â you say as you walk in the office, stopping at your tracks as you see a little girl with him.Â
you open your mouth, ready to ask a question only to be interrupted by little legs running towards you.Â
âmama!â she latches on your legs, you let out a surprised sound before letting zayne take the food that you brought, you kneeled down, gently petting her hair.Â
âhey there.â you say gently, not wanting to startle her. she looks up at you and you bit back a gasp as a carbon copy of zayneâs eyes stared back at you.Â
âmamaâŚâ her eyes welled up with tears once more. jumping to hug you properly, the motion caught you off-balance, landing on your butt with a dull thud as you embraced the little girl properly.Â
you looked up at zayne for answers, his face mirrored yours, you were both clueless. zia turns back to zayne as if she remembered something.
âmy mama⌠my mamaâs name is (y/n) liâŚâ she said.Â
your eyes widened, warmth flooding onto your cheeks.Â
you looked at zayne to see a faint redness steadily rising to his face.Â
you say nothing.Â
zia jumps off of you, a locket bobbing out from her shirt catching your attention.Â
the heart-shaped locket opens due to the force of ziaâs actions, showing a picture of an older you and zayne holding her as a baby.Â
you freeze, the action does not go unnoticed by zayne who helps you stand up. his eyes flit towards the direction that you were looking at before he freezes as well.Â
âmama? papa?â ziaâs innocent voice cuts through the silence. you and zayne look at each other, not knowing what to say.Â
zayne coughs awkwardly, eyes not meeting yours as he gestures towards the food you brought.Â
âhow about we eat for now?âÂ
the three of you settled by his desk, asking zia questions, nothing too complex as to overwhelm her, but enough to grasp the current situation.Â
zia explains that she was playing outside the house when suddenly she was floating through space, and suddenly in linkon park. but she didnât recognize any of the stores that surrounded it. only the street names so she did her best to look for the hospital.Â
âbut why the hospital?â you asked, wiping a stray crumb by the corner of her mouth. zayne was entranced at the sight of you falling into the role of her mother. his heart thumping in his chest that he refuses to acknowledge.Â
âpapa said⌠if i ever get lost in linkon, find a way to make it to akso. akso is safe. because papa is there.â zia recites her dadâs words. while zayne may not know her now, it did seem like something heâd say in the future.Â
it was silent for a few seconds before zia talked about herself, from her interests to her school life, to her life at home to which zayne couldnât help but ask her a few questions about it. mostly to make her forget that she was scared and mainly purely selfish intentions.Â
he can see you raise a brow but he pays no mind as he asks zia.Â
âare you happy?âÂ
a big grin breaks out of ziaâs face as she nods with vigor.Â
âyes! mama and papa always give me cookies and candy whenever i ask!â she beams and lists off everything she loved about her parents. how they always read her stories before bed. how they always showed up to her recitals, how zayne always tutored her with utmost patience while you intervened with snacks and a quick game to take a breakâŚÂ
ââand mommy and daddy alway do kissies!â zia shudders in mock disgust. âthey think i donât notice but daddyâs cheeks always show.â the little girl giggles.
you and zayne donât look each other in the eye. but you could tell that he was having the same reaction as you.Â
you perk up as you feel a different vibration in the air. wary of wanderers, you subtly twist your wrist to activate your hunterâs watch. zayne seems to feel the same disturbance as he flicks his hand, tiny particles of ice flurrying through the air.Â
a portal warps open and you instinctively push zia behind you, your arm raised to cover her as the portal materializes.Â
âzia! are you here, baby?â you gasped. you hear your voice. slightly older but undoubtedly you.Â
your suspicions were confirmed as you see yourself through the portal, you looked older yet the same. beside your future self stood zayne who looked restless. worried for his daughter. aside from that, zayne looked healthier. his cheeks looked fuller and his eyes brighter. Â
zia lets out a happy noise as she ducks under your arm and runs towards the portal. you instinctively reach out, fearing that the portal was a trap but your versionâs zayne pulls you back, letting the girl run to her parents.Â
âmommy, daddy!â your future selves kneeled down to her height to embrace her. your future self couldnât help but place a tender kiss on her cheek while a tear slips from your eye. the older zayne looks at the two of you.Â
a look of realization flashes in his face, but he says nothing, only smiling at his past self and letting out a nod before he focuses on his daughter, his hand overlapping yours, the gleam of a wedding ring catches your attention before the portal slowly closes. ziaâs tiny âbye mom and dad!â the last thing the both of you hear before the portal closes shut.Â
silence.Â
neither zayne nor you could find the words to say, to talk about what happened. it takes a while for the both of you to realize what had occurred.Â
âwellâŚâ you cut the tension with an awkward laugh. âquite an eventful lunch, huh? what a spoiler for the future.â Â
with ziaâs voice gone, you can hear your heartbeat pound loudly. three years from now, you would be a mother to zayneâs child. you would be a family. you would be his as he would be yours in holy matrimony. you canât say the thought doesnât make you giddy. you hoped that zia wasnât an elaborate prank that you and zayne were the unlucky victim of.Â
zayne stays quiet, as if thinking of his next words.Â
âiâŚâ zayne starts, clearing his throat and adjusting his tie, cheeks flushed red.Â
âif zia is truly from the future thenâŚâ he looks deep into your eyes. âi canât wait.âÂ
you couldnât help the bashful smile that breaks out on your face.Â
âneither can i.â you admit.Â
zayneâs lips twitch upwards into a small smile as he gains courage from your words.Â
âthen⌠would you like to get dinner with me later, after my shift?â
you nod, smile still on your face.Â
âof course, doctor zayne.â
sylus:Â
âstop pretending, sylus. you know why iâm here.â you say, gun raised at him. sylus smirks and raises his arms in mock surrender.Â
âthe protocore you needed was faulty, i had to get rid of it. there was no poiââ âiâm not kidding around, sylus!â you cut him off, finger on the trigger, ready to pull at any moment.Â
âi know, sweetie.âÂ
âdonât call me that.âÂ
you hated the way sylus chuckled at your response, clearly not taking you seriously.Â
the two of you freeze as you hear a commotion from outside the room, sylus pushes you behind him, his evol flaring up as his energy-infused tendrils are on display, waiting for whatever intruder awaits the two of you.Â
deciding not to waste time, sylus follows the sound of the noiseâ where luke and kieran could be heard grunting, fighting against the intruder with a tone of disbelief.Â
intrigued, sylus pushes the door open with you in tow, the two of you anticipate a crowd of delinquents who managed to get through sylusâ top notch security, or underworld leaders that had unfinished business with the head of onychinus.Â
what the two of you werenât expecting was a teenage girl who looked amused as the mask-wearing twins dangled in the air with what looked to be a replica of sylusâ energy evol.Â
rarely does anything manage to catch sylus off guard. but seeing a teenager with your hair color and the color of his eyes made his mouth drop for a split second.Â
the teenager looks at you then at sylus, a soft smile forming on her face.Â
âi knew iâd find you guys here.âÂ
sylus glances at you with his peripheral. your jaw was dropped, hands shaking as you clutched your gun by your side.Â
the teenager raises her arms in mock surrender before letting luke and kieran down with a thud.Â
âi can explain.â the teenager says. âdonât be alarmedâŚâ she starts.Â
âmy name is athena. iâm⌠iâm your daughter from the future.âÂ
âand weâre supposed to believe you just like that?â you couldnât help the defensiveness in your tone as you move to raise your gun after seeing her reach into her pocket.Â
athena pulls out her wallet, opening it with a soft smile before facing the wallet front, showing the family picture that was displayed on the leather. in order to not cause alarm, she uses her evol. her energy manipulation making it float towards sylusâ direction, he takes it without much fanfare.Â
in the picture was a family.Â
where an older you and an older sylus stood in the middle, his arm was wrapped around your waist, pulling you close against him, athena stood on your right, a soft smile on her face as she raised her hand into a peace sign. sylus looked at the camera with a real smile on his face as he had a toddler perched up onto his hipâ who seemed to be his carbon copy but with your eyes. if you squint, you can see a small bump on your stomachâ possibly a third.Â
âlooks legit.â you hear luke whisper over to kieran. you didnât even need to glance back to know that kieran smacked the back of lukeâs head, the startled ow! told you enough.Â
sylusâ face remained blank as he scans the picture before he closes the wallet shut, tossing it back to his future daughter with a steady aim.Â
for a while there was silence, before your eyes widened. you become the wife of onychinusâ leader? the very man you swore you hated?Â
âyouâre meaning to tell me⌠i let himâŚâ you point insultingly at the brute beside you, who scoffs at your reaction. âmake a family with me?â
athena raises a brow, an upturn on her lips as if she was smirking. âi did not expect you to be like this before having me.â she walks around the base, as if she were at home and plops down at the sofa.
âpray tell, how do we act around you?â sylus asks, clearly invested in talking about his future with you.Â
âgross.â athena rolls her eyes as the word leaves her lips in a playful way before looking at the two of you with a soft smile. âbut⌠our family is really happy. weâre safe, healthy, most importantly, happy⌠but.âÂ
âbut?â you echoed, she smiles bitterly.Â
âmom, the reason iâm here is because a deal went wrong.â sylus freezes from beside you.Â
athena breathes in deeply before explaining. she nods slightly in gratitude as she is served tea by luke and kieran, who you did not notice has left the room to get refreshments.
âsherman...â you perk up at the familiar name. one of sylusâ pawns, a dealer within the n109 zone, someone that sylus kept because he was useful.Â
âdad never really let us in his business, he kept us safe and informed yet never within the circle of operations, so i didnât know who he really was.â athena looks up to stare sylus down.Â
âsherman betrays you in the future, dad. thatâs the reason iâm here.â sylus nods slowly, gesturing for her to go on.
âhe sided with EVER, he wanted us to be weakened so he decided on making sure that if he were to strike against you, it would be where it hurt the most. it wasnât supposed to be me here, it was supposed to be simeon.â athena looks down on her lap, fists closed tightly, slightly shaking. the two of you could only assume that simeon was the child that sylus was carrying in the picture.
âsimeon is barely five. sherman knew that the gun would transport him to the deepspace tunnel with no direction. he expected simeon to die in the tunnel because what knowledge does a toddler have to navigate the deepspace?â athena laughs bitterly.Â
âright at the last second, i threw myself in front of him. iâd rather it be me than my baby brother.â
you and sylus look at each other, then back at athena who didnât want to face either of you.Â
sylus walks slowly towards her, his hand placed on her head gently causing her to look up at him. he gives her a nod of acknowledgement.Â
âyou did well. iâm proud to have you as my future daughter.â athena shakes her head, a smile on her face as she laughs slightly. âdonât get sappy on me, dad.â athena looks to luke and kieran before a smirk appears on her face.Â
âyou guys were weak, by the way. but donât worry, you will get better in the future.â the twins let out offended gasps.Â
âwe couldâve attacked harder, but when we saw your eyes, we were shocked.â kieran explains as luke nods. âit was scary! weâve fought off many people but we froze when we saw you.â athena nods before she looks at you.Â
you still slightly as she stands and walks towards you. you didnât know what it was, maybe it was instinct that you opened your arms and welcomed her into a hug that she fell into. it felt familiar and warm, something pounded in your chest that you were too terrified to acknowledge.Â
âgive dad a chance, okay? heâs not all that bad⌠a bit⌠much. but he always had our best interests.â athena whispers and you hummed, taking in her words as she pulls away.Â
she winks at you. âyou and dad are disgusting together.â you let out a short laugh at that.Â
truthfully, as much as you hated to admit it, sylus was good looking. he was also reliable and strong andâ you were not about to look at him with a different light right now. snap out of it.
a disturbance in the air crackles before a tunnel opens.Â
âmissus, are you here?â luke jolts as he hears himself through the tunnel, he was about to step closer when kieran pulls him back.Â
athena drags you and sylus closer before she embraces you both tightly.Â
âiâll see you on the other side, okay?â athena pulls away with a smile, the expression contagious as you find yourself smiling back at your future daughter.Â
âcanât wait.â you reply as she pulls away to call back at the tunnel.Â
âyea! iâm here, luke.â
you can hear a sigh of relief from the other side as athena steps inside the tunnel, a serene look on her face as she waves goodbye at the two of you. the tunnel fizzles closed until only stray sparks remain and silence ensues.Â
sylus turns to look at you, an amused glint at his deep ruby eyes.Â
âcanât wait, huh?âÂ
âi will kill you where you stand, sylus.â
âno need for violence, sweetie. i too, canât wait to see where the future leads to.â Â
rafayel:Â
you noticed her before he did.Â
it wasnât unusual for adults and children to be fixated with rafayelâs artwork, admittedly, at times you find yourself entranced by a few, attempting to interpret its meaning only for rafayel to brush you off and say that youâre overthinking it, cutie.Â
but this was different. in front of rafayelâs painting stood a viewing bench that was occupied by a girl that couldnât have been older than thirteen. she had her hood pulled up, hiding her features. she didnât seem to be bothering or paying attention to anyone as her body was fixated in front of rafayelâs painting.Â
longing. as per rafayelâs title. you once questioned him about it to which he only smiled and shook his head, expression solemn.Â
âi donât know⌠it just felt right.â you only nod, agreeing with his logic.Â
art didnât have to be complicated, it just had to portray meaning, despite whatever interpretation it was.
âraf.â you poke at the artist who was scanning the room, grateful to have finished making his rounds and rubbing elbows with the rich.Â
âbored already, cutie?â he teases. you shake your head as you point towards the direction of his painting.Â
âyou want me to talk to you about the painting techniques i used? oh, cutie. i knew you were interested in my technique.â you scoffed, shaking your head as you clarified.Â
âno, rafayel. iâm referring to her.â you say as you point out the little girl in a soft tone. âsheâs been looking at the painting since weâve arrived.â rafayel takes a closer look, squinting his eyes.Â
âare you sure she isnât asleep? maybe sheâs just appreciating my artistic techniques, unlike someone i knowâŚâÂ
you shake your head before rolling your eyes at him. âstill. itâs been hours⌠did she come with anyone?â rafayel furrowed his brows.Â
âi didnât even notice her here.â
the more rafayel looks at her, the more he feels the pull to approach her. and without even realizing it, he sat beside her on the bench.Â
he tilts his head at the painting, squinting his eyes to see if there was a misplaced smudge or dirt that he didnât notice. just to get an idea of what she was looking at.Â
âwhatâre you looking at, buddy?â he asked, finally turning to the hood-covered girl.Â
the little girl stays silent for a few seconds before opening her mouth.Â
âthe paintingâŚâ rafayel perks up, listening intently to the child.Â
âis it about me?âÂ
huh?
âhehe~ of course!â rafayel attempts to appease the kid, not wanting a crying child in his exhibit.Â
âanything can be about you if you put your mind to iââ he gets cut off as the child finally faces him.Â
his eyes stared back at him and deep strands of purple framed her little face. from her neck, rafayel could see scales, scales that he knew all too well.Â
and with a closer look, he realizes that the scales match the colors he used for the painting.Â
rafayel stares wide-eyed at the girl. heâs known every surviving lemurian, but not her. and what are the odds she had the same eye and lip shape as you?Â
the girl, seeing where rafayel was looking, quickly slaps a hand on her neck, covering the exposed scales.  Â
rafayel coughs once, before his eyes search for yours. he quickly does so and he signals for you to get to where he was to which you do with a quick stride.Â
âthis is miss bodyguard⌠she can help you look for your parents. youâre lost, right?âÂ
you bit back a gasp as you take in her appearance. she was adorable, her face shows that she grew up with the finer things and that she was not told no in her life.Â
âiâm not lostâŚâ she mumbles, yet she takes your hand and squeezes it tightly. you were surprised at how cold her hand felt, the childâs breathing was slightly panicking by the second as more scales appear on her face.Â
your eyes widened, clearly seeing that the new scales were affecting her. you looked at raf and he nodded, wordlessly leading the way as you carried the little girl to the room allotted for him.Â
âdo you know whatâs happening⌠msâŚ?â rafayel asks as he kneels in front of her as you settle her on the couch.Â
âmira.â she says softly, voice almost a whisper. âwhat a pretty name.â you say, smiling softly as if to assure the child.Â
mira looks around the room, her gem-colored eyes scanning the room meticulously before she stops at the gemstone that was halved and turned into powder, most likely as pigment for rafayelâs work.Â
her feet take her there and before she could touch it, rafayelâs hand stops her.Â
ârafââ
âyouâll burn your hand if you touch it, missy. only lemurians can touch this.â rafayel says, his tone playful but you knew that he meant it.Â
mira shakes her head and reaches out for it once more.Â
âmiss mira, youâreââ âiâm the sea godâs daughter.â mira cuts him off.
rafayel freezes in shock. mira takes the opportunity to get ahold of the gemstone on his desk.Â
a bright light blinds the three of you as mira takes out a fishtail that she kept hidden in her small satchel.Â
âthe sea godâs daughterâŚâ rafayel trails off, you look at her then back at raf as a sharp pang hits your chest.Â
you knew that what you and rafayel had was strictly business, yet you couldnât overlook the fact that the two of you flirted here and there⌠and with all the time spent together, how come rafayel never told you.Â
but as you look at rafayel and see the look of confusion in his face, you begin to wonder if the child is only confused.Â
mira falls to her knees, her breaths quickening and you find yourself supporting her with a hand on her back.Â
âmamaâŚâ she whispers at you, you shake it off, thinking that the haze of the scales growing on her was hindering her mind. you let her clutch your hand, only to be shocked that she triggered your resonance, the two of you feel the progression of scales slow down.Â
âpapaâŚâ she reaches for rafayel who still seemed lost in thought, but at the sound of miraâs voice, he shakily holds his hand out.Â
â...feel weakâ âŚneed to go backâŚâ you and rafayel were confused at the words leaving miraâs mouth, she gestures towards the gemstone that she dropped. rafayel takes it with his free hand. mira tells him to coat the fishtail with the gemstone powder and rafayel does so, albeit hesitant.Â
a blinding light blinds the three of you, and you find yourselves transported under water. you can hear rafayel let out a gasp as the three of you were inside a bubble.Â
looking outside, you can see why rafayel gasped, you were in lemuria or what could only be described as such place based on rafayelâs previous stories.Â
you see mira swimming away and the bubble follows her lead.Â
you suppress a gasp as you see her swim towards a merman that was gigantic. before you could express your shock to the lemurian beside you. you see him focused, it was on the second look at the merman did you realize that the two of you were staring back at an olderâ no, another version. older for sure, yet this version had long hair and a tail that was almost your size.Â
âpapa! mama!â you turned your head to the woman approaching the duo, you finally gasped as your familiar features mirrored your own, yet it was older, softer.Â
you can barely hear what mira was saying but you can see as she points to the bubble that you and rafayel occupied, the parentsâ which you now concluded was a future version of you followed her finger, and with a softened smile, your future self waved at you, causing a deep feeling to settle in your chest, yet you couldnât pinpoint which emotion it was.
it takes a second for the two of you to be thrown back into your current timeline. the same bright flash brought you back to rafayelâs waiting room.
from a distance, you can hear thomasâ calls for the artist, whose hand you were holding tightly.Â
the two of you looked at each other, not saying a word, before he broke it with a small smile.Â
âso⌠looks like you liked me a little too much, cutie.â  Â
âif that timeline is real, youâre the one carrying her. like a seahorseâ you say your face burning as you turn around and leave him in the waiting room.Â
â?! thatâs not how it works, cutie!âÂ
xavier:Â
the wanderers were closing in. backup was coming but you and your partner had no idea when. the battlefield felt like a hydra wherein one dies, three more take its place and at this point, it wasnât a battle of strength, but of stamina.Â
the wanderers were weak, yet there were so many that you felt your composure slipping.Â
it took a sloppy shot for the wanderer you were up against to charge at you with an angered cadence.Â
you grunt as you managed to finish it off, finding yourself back to back with xavier who was busy with another luminivore.Â
âare you alright?â xavier asked as the wanderer evaporated. you turn to face him, giving him an acknowledgement before you braced your hand on his shoulder to fight the fast moving luminivore behind him. a shot resounded from your hunterâs gun.Â
xavier immediately pushes you off to fight off the other wanderers that spawned.Â
it seemed endless. you lost count how many the two of you fought. the call for back-up felt like hours ago.Â
the two of you were so caught up with fighting that none of you felt the crackle in the air.Â
âmom watch out!â you turned around to see a man, pushing early twenties with the tip of his sword right by your face, an evaporating wanderer caught in the middle of it.Â
mom? you were confused but had no time to think as you shot another wanderer. you sense another hunter in the area, you turn around to see another man with a sword similar to the other strangerâs.Â
confused, yet grateful for the added manpower, the four of you cleared the hunting zone. the gigantic luminivore, having no smaller ones to absorb, was weakened and taken down without a hitch. the protocore it released clasped tightly in your hand.Â
when the adrenaline wore off, you thought back to the man who called you mom. you looked at him with a confused expression, having never seen him in your life.Â
he bore platinum hair, his eyes the same color as yours and his sword looking to be made out of luxurious alloy. beside him, stood another man who looked like him but with a different hair color, his cheeks were rounder and he was slightly shorter, but it was clear to you that they were twins.Â
âw-who are you?â you didnât mean for your voice to falter but it was surreal to see a set of twins that eerily looked like your partner in crime.Â
speak of the devil, xavier hurried to your side once he made sure all wanderers were nowhere to be found in the perimeter.Â
xavier pauses as well, his grip on the lightblade that was hidden in his back, prepared to strike if your back-up was actually enemies in disguise.Â
the shorter twin raises his hand and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, a shy smile on his face as he looks at you with a guilty expression.Â
âokay soâŚâ he trails off, as if trying to find an explanation to who they were. âyou're not gonna believe this butâŚâ
he places an arm around the taller twin.Â
âweâre your sons from the future.â
what the fuck?
you could feel the strength in your legs falter for a split second and xavier had to support your back as you stared at the twins with a widened gaze.Â
sons? future? with⌠xavier???Â
your blue-eyed partner only looks at them warily, seeming to not believe the twins, only for his eyes to flit towards the tassels of their swords, his eyes slightly squinting as he recognizes his familyâs insignia. it wasnât concrete evidence, yet it was enough for the hunter to hear them out.
âand you are?â xavier asked, the older twin stepped forward, his head dipped down before he tilted up, looking xavier right in the eye, blue eyes mirroring his.Â
âlumiere.â
silence.Â
the atmosphere was tense and you felt xavier tense up from beside you. xavierâs mouth opened but before he could say anything, the younger twin bursted out laughing.Â
âleo, that was good!â the twins gave each other a high-five before turning to face the two of you once more.Â
it seemed like even in the future, xavier still cannot hide his disdain for his alter ego.Â
âiâm milo.â the younger twin introduces himself in between his giggles before he gestures to the older one who looked at xavier straight-on with a smug expression on his face.Â
âthis is leo.â milo gestures to him. you nod slightly, still starstruck before introducing yourself and xavier.Â
milo nods. âwe know. youâre our parents in the future after all.âÂ
you furrowed your eyes, still confused at his statement. yet with the way their uniforms were slightly different and how the two of them did look like they lived in a different era, you bit your tongue.Â
you wanted to find out more yet before you could, a gasp escapes your lips as a lightblade was pointed at your sons.Â
âxavier!âÂ
âwho sent you?â xavier asked, not joking around.Â
the twins hold up their arms in surrender, not making any violent reactions.Â
âwe donât know how we got here ourselves. but, we suspect it was the protocore.â milo explains. âthis isnât our timelineââ that much was obvious. âweâve been lost for the past week, we believe the key back to our timeline is in the protocore in your hand, mom.âÂ
being called mom by a pair of twins that look your age was definitely unsettling.Â
âand why should I believe you?â xavier asks, the grip on his lightblade tightening.Â
 the twins look at each other then back at xavier before they gestured towards their own swords.Â
âyou gave us these swords when we expressed that we wanted to be like you.â milo sheepishly explains, flustered at expressing admiration towards their father.Â
xavierâs careful eyes examine the markings of their swords before they fall towards the star-shaped tassels that decorated the handle.
he lowers his sword, convinced but not entirely.Â
you flinch and let out a yelp as the protocore you held turned hot. your partner immediately turns to your side as you throw the protocore to the ground.
the yellow gemstone twitches before it cracks, interrupting the air with a tunnel that showed another timeline from the side.Â
âleo, milo, are you here?â you hear a feminine voice call out. you see her step out a moment later and you gasped at how much she resembled you, same eyes, same lips and same puffy cheeks.Â
âstella, itâs dangerous out here.â leo, being the eldest, scolds. stella pouts before she realizes that you and xavier watched as the siblings bantered.Â
âmom, dad!â stella launched herself into your arms, a smile appearing in her face.Â
âthat is stella⌠the youngest⌠sheâs a great marksman like you, mom.â milo introduces, you concluded that he was the chattier twinâ inherited most likely from you and leo stays silent on the side, more xavier than your genes.Â
âyouâre so, so pretty mom, i knew i got your genes.â stella teasingly winks and you couldnât help the chuckle that leaves your lips.Â
the tunnel crackles once more and the three snap out of their trances.Â
âit was nice meeting you, young mom and dad!â milo teases before he grabs stella away. âwe have to go now, weâll see you for dinner!â stella waves goodbye before the two of them enter the tunnel.Â
leo saves himself for last, ensuring that his two younger siblings have entered fully before giving the two of you a gentle smile paired with a wave.Â
âiâll see you soon, mom, dad.âÂ
then the tunnel closes shut, leaving you and xavier in the now quiet battlefield.Â
without your childrenâs presence, you can hear your heart beat get louder at the thought that in the future you would be married to your coworker.Â
âso⌠that happened.â you tried breaking the awkward tension.Â
xavier only replied with a hum, one that you tilted your head at, wanting to know his thoughts.Â
âi always thought weâd have more.âÂ
what?!Â
âdo you wanna get hotpot after we report this to captain jenna?â xavier asked you, yet you only looked at him with disbelief.Â
âare you not weirded out about our future children appearing in front of us? how are you so calm about this? werenât you just doubting them minutes ago?â xavier shrugs at your question.Â
âiâve got sufficient proof that they were telling the truth.âhe responds. âbesides. them appearing makes fighting for the future worth it.â he indirectly confesses.Â
âwhat?â bless your soul.Â
xavier shakes his head before walking away. a secret smile on his face.Â
heâd face a thousand more wanderers if it meant that his future would be the way he saw, hopefully stella wasnât the last.Â
caleb:Â
caleb feels like youâre being watched.Â
which was rich coming from him.Â
but heâs already taken two detours, yet the eyes on your backs only seemed to stare harder.Â
he smiles at you. his hand gently patting your head. âhow about you go and buy us some slushies, pips?â you tilt your head in confusion, looking at the long line for the slushie stall before pouting.Â
ââleb the lineâs too long.â you whined, caleb only chuckles. âcome on, pips. you know i love their honey apple soda. plus, you can use your charms to get a free upgrade.â you roll your eyes at him before huffing and begrudgingly agreeing.Â
once you turned around, caleb walks away with a calm cadence, away from the crowd and somewhere most civilians wouldnât walk near.Â
he could hear footsteps trailing behind him, for an untrained ear, it wouldnât be alarming, but caleb has tracking every small sound his ears could pick up. once he reaches a point in the forest beside where the pop-up fair stood, he unleashes his evol, he hears the stranger grunt as the force of gravity settles on their shoulder.Â
for a little funâ also a bit of a power trip, he wills his evol to lift the stranger up by one foot while one dangles in the air.Â
caleb counts three seconds before turning around, only for deep purple eyes to stare back at him.Â
âwhat the fuck.â caleb says as he looks at the stranger who could pass off as his sibling.Â
no. it couldnât be real. this is a sick experiment that EVER sent as a last ditch effort to catch him off guard and take you away from him. he wonât let them.Â
he wonât let thâÂ
âwow, you look stupid hanging out like that, flynn.â caleb flinches as he hears another voice speak up, in his shock, he waves his other arm to attack the stranger, only for the stranger to skillfully dodge his offense.Â
what?
âwoah, nice try there, dad!â he hears the stranger mock him. he faces the second stranger, his evol raring to go once more only for him to accidentally release the first one dangling.Â
the second stranger had your eyes.Â
a loud oof! was heard as the first stranger fell on a patch of leaves that were conveniently on the ground.Â
the second stranger laughs and taunts the first. only for the two of them to let out a yelp as caleb uses his evol to pull the two of them together, in front of him.Â
âwho are you?â caleb asked. the two strangers look at him then at each other, debating on how to answer.Â
yet when seconds passed and none of them spoke up, caleb tightened the invisible restraints like a snakeâs chokehold.Â
âalright, we give!â the older one says, caleb raises a brow but eases the hold, just a little.
âiâm flynn.â he introduces himself then turning his head towards his brother. âthis is axel.âÂ
âand why were you following us around? what do you need from us?â calebâs voice hardens once more at the thought that the two boys would be after you.Â
âwe mean no harm, promise!â axel says, grunting as the hold tightens once more. âlet us go, weâll explain!â
caleb, knowing that he could easily take down the two of them if they showed any violent tendencies, let them go. the two of them heaved deep breaths before smirking.Â
âdamn dad, never thought weâd be on the receiving end of that.â
âiâll do it again if you donât start explaining right now.â caleb threatens and axel lets out a sound of defiance, not wanting to feel restricted again.Â
âokay. donât be scared.â axel starts, only to get nudged by flynn in the ribs. âthatâs a terrible start to an explanation, axe!â
flynn shakes his head before clearing his throat. âheâs right though, dad.â calebâs brow twitches at the title, yet he bites his tongue for now.Â
âdonât be alarmed⌠weâre from the futureââ
âwhat?!â the three of their heads snap towards a new voiceâ you.Â
due to your shock, you almost dropped the sodas, had it not been for calebâs evol stopping the spill.Â
his evol seems to be working overtime today.Â
you marched towards the three men before stopping in front of axel, your expression in awe as you reached out to touch his cheek.Â
âwow⌠you look like me.â you say without thinking, flinching backwards as you realized how weird it sounded.Â
âiâm saying!â axel agrees, smiling the same way you did. you turned your head to flynn before gasping. âholy shit youâre a mini caleb.â flynn smiles and lets his hair be ruffled by you.Â
âpips⌠you canât be serious.â caleb says, exasperated at how easily you believed the two strangers who did look like the two of you combined. but with the way you grew up with wanderers and evols, you werenât about to think that time travel wasn't real.Â
âcaleb, you canât be serious.â you retorted, calebâs mouth drops open at the audacity of you to make him look like he was the crazy one for not accepting.Â
âlook at him! heâs a cuter version of you!â you say, pinching at flynnâs cheeks. the aforementioned laughs and caleb fights the urge to roll his eyes.Â
âpipsââ you ignore him in favor of making the two sit down on the clearing, your hands occupied by theirs as you asked them how their current life was.Â
caleb, with a frown on his face, sits down close behind you, your back pressed against either of his thighs as he listens to your conversations.Â
from there, he notes that flynn was born nine years later, and axel followed after two. flynn trained to be a pilot yet axel followed your steps into becoming a hunter. caleb mindlessly traces circles on your knee as you listen intently to their stories.Â
âand auri isââ âauri?â caleb voices out, the first time he made a move to show that he was listening to the conversation.
âwoooow dad.â flynn said sarcastically. âyou decided that now was the time to contribute?âÂ
âi will ground you.â caleb threatens, flynn rolls his eyes, a habit he most likely got from you.Â
âauri is the youngest⌠for now.âÂ
âauriâ aurielle is the familyâs princess.â axel explains. âright now, she looks like you, mom. she has a bit of an age gap between us.âÂ
âfor now?â you echoed, eyes widening.Â
"for now." axel nods. "dad's been wanting another mini-you... he's practically begging for another girl."
you glare at caleb who was innocent for now.
caleb perks up, wanting to know more about his future princess, begins asking questions regarding the youngest.Â
the two boys could only roll their eyes at their future fatherâs enthusiasm.Â
âwow, sheâs not even here but she already has you wrapped around her finger.â axel teases as flynn shows the two of you a picture of her.Â
indeed, they were right. aurielle looked like you at the moment but her eyes were the shade of calebâs eyes. the picture depicts her lips in a bright grin as she bites a gold medal between her teeth, an achiever. just like you.Â
calebâs lips form into a small smile as he stares at the picture then back at the two boys.Â
âare you happy?â caleb asks, making the two sons look at each other. âwith your lives. i mean.âÂ
the boys nod, getting the meaning behind calebâs words.Â
âweâre happy, weâre safe and protected.â flynn answers.Â
âand we grew up loved.â axel adds. your lips formed into a pout at his words.Â
âand auri?â the two boys groan playfully.Â
âfor sure a princess. you threatened her junior high dance date once.â you snort at that statement.Â
it definitely sounded like something caleb would do.
a beeping sound interrupts the future familyâs banter. axel looks at his hunterâs watch before looking at the two of you apologetically.
âit was really nice meeting the two of you when you were young. butâŚâ axel gestures towards the watchâs countdown, the time blaring a bright 00:00. âwe have to go.âÂ
you pout but let go of their hands once the four of you stood up.Â
âweâll see each other in a bit, mom.â the boys pull you into a hug.Â
if caleb didnât know that they were your future children together, they wouldâve been suspended once more in the air. he didnât get to say that as a joke as after you, the two of them jumped on calebâs arms, laughing as the disgruntled colonel lets out a groan. Â
âsee you, dad.âÂ
âsay hi to auri for me.â caleb teases, the two boys roll their eyes before agreeing.Â
not even a second later, a portal opens. from the other side, you and caleb could see how comfortable the atmosphere was, it looked warm, a home. your future home.Â
from the side, caleb can see a family portrait on the wall, the five of you with big smiles as you posed funnily for the camera.Â
the two of them enter and the tunnel closes without fanfare.Â
when the tunnel finally fizzles out, you feel a light smack on your head.Â
âouch, caleb! what was that for.âÂ
âyou trusted them too easily, pipsqueak.â caleb clicks his tongue as you pout.
âwell excuse me for being excited about my future.âÂ
caleb.exe stopped responding.Â
you. the girl he protected all his childhood and grew up with, was excited for a future with him?
caleb never let himself imagine that kind of future. he never thought he deserved it.Â
you tilt your head, an ugly frown on your face.Â
âitâs only natural, right?â your tone turned cold, both of calebâs eyebrows shot up in surprise.Â
âwhy, did you want to marry anyone else?â you asked, your lips forming into a pout that caleb knew was the one you use when you wanted your way.Â
yet he couldnât help but indulge you.Â
âof course not, pipsqueak.â caleb smiles and pats your head.Â
âitâs only ever been you.â
the bright smile on your face that followed his response was all the answer he needed. all his actions will have been worth it in the end, and todayâs event was proof of it.Â
note/s: would ya'll believe me if i said this has been stewing in my drafts since july 2025... i swear the plot has always been there yet i never found the inspiration to write it (damn writer's block) hopefully! i'm back into writing, i still have a lot in store so i hope ya'll anticipate <3
How to Write in FIRST-PERSON in a Way That Sounds NATURAL
When I just began writing, I entered some kind of first-person phase, where all my stories were written in, well, first-person POV. Looking back at it, however, I didn't really know how to write in this narrative, so my writing felt cringe and my characters, for lack of better terms, rather 'pick-me.'
First-person does some things better than third (or second) person. Some might say writing in first-person is easier too, since you focus mainly the main character, who also happens to be the narrator.
The thing is, first-person is also difficult to pull off because let's face it: it's incredibly easy for this POV to feel awkward. It can feel like the protagonist is talking to a camera, creating a weird sense of breaking the fourth wall.
With that being said, if you're struggling with executing first-person POV without the choppy dialogue, thoughts, and storytelling, this is just for you!
1. Do Not Talk to the Audience
In first-person, addressing the audience is often both seen as informal and awkward. In writing generally, it's best to avoid talking to the readers, but in first-person especially most cases of "talking with the audience" feels odd to the reader because it normally occurs during internal dialogue or self-monologue in a situation where they are (or feel) alone.
These lines are meant to move the plot forward, introduce characters, etc., but they feel unnatural because your main character is thinking these thoughts that we normally wouldn't have.
Thus, the key when it comes to avoiding "talking to the audience," using thoughts, the best way is to ensure that they generally think about stuff that most would take note too.
If you're against this because perhaps your character is neurodivergent or processes things differently, that's completely fine, but I'm talking a very broad spectrum of "general."
For example, we notice people and their features. A natural observation could be "Oh, this woman is really tall." We think stuff like this often--with this line, you aren't reaching out to the readers.
However, with something like "I have brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles," you're suddenly pulling the readers into the scene (not in a good way) because no one ever just suddenly describes themselves like that. The readers know this subconsciously, so now, you're talking to the audience.
But speaking of descriptions, this brings me to my next point!
2. Don't Let Your Main Character Describe Themself
Have you ever read a story in first-person that beings with something like: "My name is... I'm a student... I have dark hair... I like..., etc."?
Not only is that obviously talking to the audience, but it's also establishing early biases in the readers that might not exactly true. Of course, objective points such as ones about race, eye color, height and whatnot may very well be true, but their descriptions about their personality may not line up with what the audience sees.
So yes, when I say don't let your protagonist describe themself, I mean both physically and internally. Instead of making your character say, "I'm kind, I'm patient, I'm unique, I'm blah blah blah," let your readers figure that out. Let your readers determine what kind of character your protagonist while establishing as few presumptions as possible.
3. Actions Work Best
Alright, so if you can't let your main character describe themself despite the story being told from MC's POV, what do you do to expose their personality? Easy; you reveal it through their actions.
What a person does arguably tells the readers more about them than the words your character says. Additionally, it allows the reader to interpret the character's actions in their own way, instead of having an "objective" frame of them.
For example, if an employee is patient, you can show this by demonstrating how well they deal with a difficult customer. When the customer is raising their voice, the worker remains calm, direct, and listens. They don't lose their temper and try their best to assist the customer although the customer themself isn't being cooperative.
Not only do you highlight this employee's exceptional patience, but you're also exhibiting their willpower, maturity, and equanimity.
That means so much more than a "I'm patient," "I'm calm," or "I'm responsible."
4. Your MC's is Untrustworthy
Let's face it: if any of us were to write a story of our lives (like a journal), it'd be filled with inaccuracies we might be unaware of.
This is the same for your story; your MC also has warped views. They might judge characters inaccurately and misunderstand situations because they have biases. Their judgement isn't always going to be on point.
5. Don't Be So Straightforward with Thoughts
This is a more casual suggestion, really, but it can be good to avoid excessive straightforward-ness with thoughts. Thoughts play a big part when it comes to writing in first-person because you have free access to them, but the thing is, with comments like "I like her shoes," "this food is good," and "that's a nice car," you're not really saying anything. It's too blunt.
Believe it or not, you can describe more by staying vague.
Let's say your character admires someone's beauty. While you could totally say "Wow, she's so gorgeous," you could also say something like, "I wonder what'd life would be like if I looked like her," "I wish I could look like her," or even better? Describe how people's eyes follow her. How everyone glances at her. At how the wind suddenly seems like some sort of photoshooting prop rather than the weather with the way it blows through her hair.
These examples all reveal your protagonist's admiration for the woman's beauty, but also show envy, curiosity, and genuine interest. They demonstrate more than just the woman's looks; they demonstrate your protagonist's character.
CONCLUSION
The biggest takeaway here is basically to don't be so direct with the readers by not being too direct with your MC's thoughts. Honestly, I suggest trying to use as little thoughts as possible and focusing more on the bigger picture to make this happen.
Remember, your character is telling their story--it's not you who's narrating!

Empathy is the heartbeat of connection. It's he ability to feel alongside others, to hold space for pain, joy, fear. But when someone becomes hyper-attuned to emotions, they might begin to use that insight as leverage. What began as compassion shifts into subtle control. They know what others fear, need, or hope for. Then, they exploit it, nudging choices and reactions under the guise of care. The warmth of empathy cools into quiet manipulation, wrapped in smiles and soft voices.
â§ Intuition â Paranoia or Presumption
Intuition is powerful. It guides, warns, and illuminates. But when someone relies too heavily on gut instinct, they may stop seeking context or clarity. They begin to assume intentions, predict betrayals, or treat hunches as fact. What once helped them understand unspoken truths now drives wedges between them and others. Intuition becomes a filter that distorts rather than reveals.
â§ Bravery â Recklessness
True courage inspires others. It faces fear while acknowledging the cost. But courage without wisdom can spiral into recklessness. The brave character begins to leap before looking, refusing help, or seeking danger not to help others but to prove something. Worse, they may sacrifice themselves repeatedly in ways that seem noble but are fueled by guilt, ego, or escapism. What once protected others now isolates or endangers them.
â§ Uniqueness â Alienation or Superiority
Being different is a gift -- a perspective the world needs. But when a characterâs uniqueness becomes their identity, it can harden into alienation or quiet arrogance. They begin to believe no one can truly understand them. Or worse, that others are too ordinary to matter. They stop connecting, start dismissing. Their individuality, once empowering, becomes a lonely throne.
â§ Honesty â Weaponized Truth
Honesty builds trust, clarity, and integrity. But when honesty becomes detached from compassion, it cuts instead of connects. The character may justify harsh words as "just being real" or âtelling it like it is,â ignoring the emotional wreckage left behind. What began as transparency turns into a shield for cruelty. Truth without tact becomes a blade.
â§ Optimism â Denial
Optimism sees hope in hardship, light in shadows. But relentless positivity can blind someone to real danger or silence the pain of others. The character insists everything will work out, even when it wonât. They dismiss warnings, ignore wounds, or refuse to acknowledge their own struggle. What started as radiant hope becomes denial in disguise, robbing others of permission to feel.
â§ Loyalty â Loss of Self
Loyalty is sacred. It anchors trust and sustains love. But loyalty without discernment can turn into self-erasure. A character might defend the wrong people, tolerate mistreatment, or silence their conscience -- all in the name of loyalty. They stay, even when it hurts. They follow, even when it breaks them. What began as devotion becomes a chain.
â§ Humanity â Overwhelm or Emotional Collapse
To be deeply human is to feel joy, rage, sorrow, wonder -- all fully. But a character might become so open to the world's weight that they drown in it. They struggle to regulate emotions, internalizing every injustice or heartache. Their humanity is profound, but it becomes unsustainable. Their openness turns into fragility, and their emotional world consumes them.
â§ Altruism â Disintegration of Boundaries
The altruist gives freely, loves fiercely, and seeks nothing in return. But when they give too much without limits, they fade from themselves. They neglect rest, silence their needs, and begin to believe that self-worth is earned only through sacrifice. Eventually, others begin to rely on them, but never truly see them. Their selflessness becomes a slow disappearance.

đ How to Build a Culture Without Just Inventing Spices and Necklaces
(a worldbuilding roast. with love.)
So. Youâre building a fantasy world, and youâve just invented:
â Three types of ceremonial jewelry
â A spice that tastes like cinnamon if it were bitter and cursed
â A holiday where everyone wears gold and screams at dawn
Cute. But thatâs not culture. Thatâs aesthetics.
And if your worldbuilding is all outfits, dances, and spice blends with vaguely mystical names, your storyâs probably going to feel like a cosplay convention held inside a Pinterest board.
Hereâs how to fix thatâaka: how to build a real, functioning culture that shapes your story, not just its vibes.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
đ Culture Is Built on Power, Not Just Style
Ask yourself:
â Whoâs in charge, and why?
â Who has land? Who doesnât?
â Whatâs considered taboo, sacred, or punishable by death?
Culture is shaped by who gets to make the rules and who gets crushed by them. Thatâs where things like religion, family structure, class divisions, gender roles, and social expectations actually come from.
Start there. Not at the embroidery.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
2.đŞ Culture Comes From Conflict
Did this society evolve peacefully? Was it colonized? Did it colonize? Was it rebuilt after a war? Is it still in one?
â What was destroyed and mythologized?
â What do the survivors still whisper about?
â What do children get taught in school thatâs⌠suspiciously sanitized?
No culture is neutral. Every tradition has a history, and that history should taste like blood, loss, or propaganda.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
3.đ§ Belief Systems > Customs Lists
Sure, rituals and holidays are cool. But what do people believe about:
â Death?
â Love?
â Time?
â The natural world?
â Justice?
Example: A society that believes time is cyclical vs. one that sees time as linear will approach everythingâfrom prison sentences to griefâcompletely differently.
You donât need to invent 80 gods. You need to know what those gods mean to the people who pray to them.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
4.đŤ Culture Controls Behavior (Quietly)
Culture shows up in:
â What people apologize for
â What insults cut deepest
â What people are embarrassed about
â Whatâs praised publicly vs. whatâs hidden privately
For instance:
â A culture obsessed with stoicism wonât say âI love you.â Theyâll say âHave you eaten?â
â A culture built on legacy might prioritize ancestor veneration, archival writing, name inheritance.
This stuff? Way more immersive than giving everyone matching earrings.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
5. đ Culture = Daily Life, Not Just Festivals
Sure, your MC might attend a funeral where people paint their faces blue. But what about:
â Breakfast routines?
â How people greet each other on the street?
â Who cooks, and who eats first?
â Whatâs considered âcleanâ or âproperâ?
â How is parenting handled? Divorce?
Culture is what happens between plot points. It should shape your characterâs assumptions, language, fears, and habitsâwhether or not a festival is going on.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
6. đŹ Let Your Characters Disagree With Their Own Culture
A culture isnât a monolith.
Even in deeply traditional societies, people:
â Rebel
â Question
â Break rules
â Misinterpret laws
â Mock sacred things
â Act hypocritically
â Weaponize or resist whatâs expected
Let your characters wrestle with the culture around them. Thatâs where realism (and tension) lives.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
7.đ§ź Beware the âPretty = Goodâ Trap
Worldbuilding gets boring fast when:
â The protagonistâs homeland is beautiful and pure
â The enemyâs culture is dark and âbarbaricâ
â Every detail just reinforces who the reader should like
You canâand shouldâchallenge the aesthetic hierarchy.
â Let ugly things be beloved.
â Let beautiful things be corrupt.
â Let your MC romanticize their culture and then get disillusioned by it later.
âââââââ ⌠âââââââ
đ TL;DR (but like, spicy):
â Culture is not food and jewelry.
â Culture is power, fear, memory, contradiction.
â Stop inventing spices until you know who starved last winter.
â Let your world feel lived in, not curated.
The best cultural worldbuilding doesnât look like a list.
It feels like a system. A pressure. A presence your characters canât escapeâeven if they try.
Now go. Build something real. (You can add spices later.)

How to Structure a Oneshot That Hits Like a Thunderclap
âA good oneshot is a single breathâsharp in, slow out.â
A oneshot isnât just a short story. Itâs a moment, a mood, a slice of intimacy that wouldnât survive being stretched into a full-length fic. Hereâs how to make it count.
Pick One Core Emotion
Build the whole thing around a single feeling. Obsession. Longing. Regret. Euphoria. Grief.
If a full-length fic is a symphony, your oneshot is a single piano note.
Ask: What should the reader feel when they finish?
Ex: âThis oneshot is about the moment someone realizes theyâve already fallen in love.â
Limit the Timeline
Donât span days. Or even hours, if you can help it. The strongest oneshots focus on a single scene or moment.
A kiss in a hallway.
A final goodbye at dawn.
A confession said too late.
Tight time = tight tension.
Start Late, End Early
Drop us into the scene already in motionâno lengthy set-up. And leave us just after the climax, not long after.
Donât: âThey met three years ago andâŚâ
Do: âItâs raining the night he finally says it.â
Your oneshot should feel like eavesdropping on something private.
Structure Like This
ACT I: Setup (15â25%)
Who are we with? Where are we? Whatâs simmering under the surface?
ACT II: The Shift (50â70%)
Something changes. A kiss. A fight. A confession. A memory.
The mood deepens or flipsâthis is your emotional peak.
ACT III: The Fallout (15â25%)
How does it end? A single line. A final look. A choice not made.
Leave a lingering echo, not an epilogue.
Let Style Do the Heavy Lifting
A oneshot gives you space to lean into voice, imagery, and metaphor. Write like itâs the last thing youâll ever write.
âHe says her name like itâs a prayer, but the gods stopped listening hours ago.â
Who Wear a Mask So Well, Theyâve Forgotten Their Real Face
(The ones who are always what other people need and donât know how to be anything else)
â§ Mirrors the energy of whoever theyâre talking to. You like jokes? Theyâre funny. You want quiet? Theyâre calm. You want deep? Theyâve got metaphors.
â§ Looks in the mirror and always thinks something feels⌠off. Like theyâre wearing skin that isnât quite theirs.
â§ Doesnât have favorite things, only the ones that make other people smile.
â§ Says âno worries!â while bleeding out emotionally behind their back.
â§ Knows exactly what to say to make someone feel seen, but has no idea how to ask for that in return.
â§ When alone, they go silent. Like the absence of an audience erases the performanceâand thereâs nothing left.
â§ Changes tone, style, even posture depending on who theyâre with.
â§ Has friends in every circle, but no one they call at 2am.
â§ Desperately wants someone to look past the glitter and say: âYou donât have to do that. Youâre allowed to just be.â
â§ Tells stories like theyâre happening to someone else.
â§ Always âfine.â Always helpful. Always on. Until theyâre not.
â§ Has a dream version of themselves they only let exist in daydreams. Somewhere where theyâre messy, soft, real and still loved.
Who Would Die for Everyone but Donât Think Anyone Would Mourn Them
(aka the quiet martyrs, the ones who love big but feel forgettable)
â§ Always offering to help. Always the one who stays behind to clean up.
â§ Doesn't ask for favorsânot because they donât need them, but because they donât believe theyâre allowed to take up that kind of space.
â§ When someone thanks them, they brush it off with âIt was nothing.â
â§ Treats their own pain like a footnote. (Yeah, Iâm fine. Just tired.)
â§ You could compliment them, and theyâd smile, but their eyes would still say Why are you being so nice to me?
â§ Constantly afraid of being annoying, even when theyâve barely spoken.
â§ Hides their breakdowns by being âthe responsible one.â Always smiling, always functional, quietly unraveling.
â§ Finds comfort in tasks. Dishes. Errands. Anything that gives them purpose.
â§ Would take a bullet for you and apologize for bleeding on your shirt.
â§ Thinks no one really knows them, but blames themselves for that.
â§ Their phone background is a quote that hurts. (âYou are enoughâ makes them cry a little in the dark.)
â§ If someone did tell them they matter, theyâd cry, and then probably never believe it again.
Who Are So Emotionally Numb, They Donât Realize Theyâre Already Breaking
(For when burnout becomes a personality trait and disassociation is just Tuesday)
â§ Says âI donât careâ a lot. Usually means âI canât afford to.â
â§ Lives in a weird fog, canât remember what they had for lunch or what day it is, but somehow still functioning.
â§ Never first to speak in a group. Often doesnât speak at all unless directly asked something.
â§ Laughs at the right times. Smiles when expected. You wouldnât know anything was wrong unless you really looked.
â§ Hasnât cried in a long time. Not because theyâre fine, because they forgot how.
â§ Avoids mirrors. They donât recognize the person looking back.
â§ Canât get excited about anything anymore, but keeps pretending like they can.
â§ Keeps busy to outrun the numbness. Lists, routines, always moving.
â§ Their sleep is either 12 hours or none at all. No in-between.
â§ Gets caught staring at nothing, often. Blames it on âspacing out.â Theyâre not.
â§ Doesnât think about the future. The idea of hope is exhausting.
â§ Still shows up. Still tries. That might be the most heartbreaking thing of all.
Hey hey hey writers!!! Especially y'alls who are struggling to develop character or have white room/still character syndrome!!!
Look into Uta Hagen's acting techniques, specifically her 9 questions. I'm not kidding. She built off Stanislavski's techniques to help actors develop their characters and roles & bring that to the stage- specifically, and this is why I'm pushing Hagen specifically and not anyone else, their relationship with the set, props, other characters, setting (yes that's different from set), history and the play's plot, and how that changes how they act and speak. I have my textbook open I'll take some pictures.
If you need a transcript/image description I'll put it under the cut, they're a little blurry cause I'm bad at holding my phone... I know alt text is a thing but I don't want y'alls to have to scroll through a tiny box lmao.

Uta Hagen's acting exercises
[Out-of-transcript note: Most of these, with the exception of Three Entrances, are less useful in terms of writers, but you could make it work, especially for roleplay.]
Basic Object Exercise: Sometimes called "two minutes of daily life," this exercise requires the actor to replicate activities from their own daily routine in specific detail (think making breakfast or getting ready to go out). The goal of this exercise is to increase the actor's awareness of their un-observed behaviour.
Three Entrances: Starting offstage, the actor enters the environment of the scene. The actor's performance should answer three questions: What did I just do? What am I going to do? What is the first thing I want?
Immediacy: Hagen asked actors to search for a small object that they need. You can perform the exercise on a set or in your home. As you search, you should observe the behaviour and thoughts that arise as you authentically try to find something. The objective is to identify the thoughts, behaviours, and sensations you experience when you genuinely don't know the outcome, so you can use them on stage.
Fourth Side: This exercise starts with a phone call to a person you know. You should call them with a specific objective in mind. During the convention, Hagen wants you to focus on your surroundings and the specific objects that your eyes rest on. The purpose is to help actors observe how they interact with all dimensions of an enclosed physical space so they can recreate privacy on stage.
Endowment: this exercise is designed to help actors apply their observed behaviours to endow props with qualities that they cannot safely have on stage. Hot irons and sharp knives are typical examples. The Endowment excercise asks actors to believably treat objects on stage as though they have the qualities the actor needs in a scene.
Uta Hagen's exercises are her greatest gift to actors working today. She developed them between Broadway jobs to solve some acting problems she had never seen anyone tackle to her satisfaction. The result is that Hagen's exercises give actors a way to observe human behaviours and catalogue it so they can recall it onstage when useful in a role.

Most of a textbook page. The image cuts off about 3 quarters of the way down the page. The text reads:
Uta Hagen's 9 Questions
Who am I? This question's answer includes all relevant details from name and age to physical traits, education, and beliefs.
What time is it? Depending on the scene, the most relevant measure of time can be the era, the season, the day, or even the specific minute.
Where am I? This answer covers the country, town, neighbourhood, room, or even the specific part of the room.
What surrounds me? Characters can be surrounded by anything from weather to furnishings, landscape or people.
What are the given circumstances? Given circumstances include what has happened, what is happening and what will happen to a character.
What are my relationships? Relationships can be with the other characters in the play, inanimate objects, or even recent events.
What do I want? Wants can be what the character desires in the moment, or in the overall course of the play. [Out-of-transcript note: I recommend figuring out both for writing, the former multiple times for whenever it changes! Outside of Hagen's technique, we call it objective and superobjective.]
What is in my way? This is the actor's chance to understand the obstacles the character must react to and overcome.
What do I do to get what I want? In Hagen's teaching, "do" means physical action.
Uta Hagen's nine questions help actors develop the granular details of their character's backstory. The questions come from Hagen's first book, "Respect for Acting," though in her later book, "A Challenge for the Actor," she condensed her original nine questions into six steps.
Uta Hagen's revised six steps to building a character are:
Who am I?
What are the circumstances?
What are my relationships?
What do I want?
What is my obstacle?
What do I do to get what I want?
Later in her life, Hagen distances herself from her first book and encouraged her students to rely on her second book, which she felt was clearer about her concepts. Both books are popular with acting teachers and students today, however. Hagen's questions and steps are the foundation for all of her acting exercises. Whether you rely on the nine questions or the six steps depends on personal preference.
[Image 2 alt text end]
Personally I like the 9 questions more, but like the book says, personal preference! So yeah, if you're a writer, try some of these out for your characters. :]

Zayne had a certain habit. You observed him enough times to make note of it. Whether it was just the two of you or when you were out with a group of friends.
You would sit on a bench or chair, your bag on your lap. Zayne stands behind you, his hands on the back of wherever you were seated. Youâd type at your phone, most likely to see what sort of meal you both wanted or a new spot you wanted to check out.
Your friend notices as well, when it is the group of you all around the city. She gives you a secretive smile when Zayne stands behind you as you sit, like a routine. His eyes are sharp and focused, yet when you show him your screen so that he can look at the cafeâs menu, they soften.
âItâs sweet,â Your friend comments, the corner of her eyes crinkle. Zayne had gone to grab the order, volunteering since the place looked busy.
âWhat is?â You ask, still not getting it just yet.
âHow he does that little protective thing,â Another friend explains for her, mentioning what sheâs also noticed. You canât help but flush a little, the back of your neck getting warm. âAnd how he easily makes sure youâre able to keep space in the more crowded spots.â
You canât help but laugh a little, your heart skipping a beat. Now that she pointed it out, you canât deny it. Not that you wanted to, but it was just something you could add to the long list you loved about Zayne.
âI guess it just happens so much when weâre out that I didnât realize it was so novel,â You admit.
Your friend simply grins cheekily, the other giggling lightheartedly, but both say no more as Zayne returns with the order. He pulls out your chair at one of the nearby tables outside, pushing it in for you once you sit. As well as taking his seat dutifully at your side.
It was beautiful out, so it was no surprise for the city to be a little crowded today. With the recent rainy days, the sun and gentle breeze were a welcome surprise.
Even so, as you all walk, Zayneâs palm rests gently against the small of your back, still giving you the freedom of movement, but also helping you balance on the sidewalk in between the other groups of people or kids playing around the park.
Your friends notice, but they donât tease you about it⌠not too much anyway.
Zayneâs own eyes crinkle slightly in amusement. When you send him a curious glance, Zayne only takes one of your hands, giving it a gentle squeeze as he entwines your fingers together. In between, when he thinks no one is looking, he lifts your hand to his mouth, pressing a kiss to your knuckles.

⥠itâs late. the kind of late where the world is quiet and soft, wrapped in the hush of twilight and the flicker of the streetlights outside the window. the two of you are sitting chris crossed on his bed, a mess of shared snacks between you and a movie playing in the background. youâve both stopped pretending to watch it, too busy talking about your previous mission and how he ate the evidence, laughing quietly, floating in the kind of easy silence that only happens when two people know each other too well.
heâs leaning back on his hands, shirt slightly rumpled, hair a little messy like heâs run his hands through it too many times. he looks at you for a second longer than usual, like heâs thinking about saying something. then he looks away quickly, down at the comforter like it suddenly got really interesting.
you nudge him with your foot. âwhat?â
he lets out a faint chuckle that sounded like he let out a breath, then shrugs. ânothing.â
âthatâs the most suspicious ânothingâ i have ever heard.â
he makes a face. âyouâre not gonna let it go, are you?â
you just raise an eyebrow in response.
he groans softly, flopping back on the bed dramatically as if heâs beating himself up to work up a courage. âfine, okay, itâs a bit dumb.â
âyou always say that right before you say something very not dumb.â
he covers his face with his hands for a second, then peeks at you through his fingers.
ââŚyeah, okay, so what if I dreamt about kissing you?â he blurts out, voice a mix of hope and fear. âhavenât people have those type of dreams?â
he pauses at your silence.
ââŚno?â
his face is slowly turning red, eyes wide in a way that would be funny if your heart wasnât suddenly doing somersaults in your chest.
you blink at him, trying to decide if you actually heard that right, or if your brain is just filling in blanks youâve been too afraid to admit exist.
âyou dreamt about kissing me?â you repeat, just to make sure.
he sits up way too fast, clearly regretting saying anything but trying to play it off like itâs no big deal. âi meanâ yeah? just once. maybe twice. okay, like⌠three times. but itâs not weird, right? that happens. to people. who are friends. and weâre partners (for work.). right?â
you stare at him, eyebrows raised.
he falters. âYouâre really not helping here.â
âiâm just trying to figure out what kind of friendships are in the books youâve been reading,â you say, trying to keep your voice steady while your heart tries to beat out of your chest. âbecause in mine, people donât usually kiss their friends. at least not in dreams.â
He lets out a huff, flopping backward with a pillow over his face. heâs punching himself inside; he shouldâve let your relationship marinate a little longer. âyou really didnât have to say it like that.â
you laugh, which makes him peek out from under the pillow, a little surprised.
âyouâre ridiculous,â you say softly.
âand you're not weirded out right now, which is⌠honestly unexpected,â he replies, a little cautiously.
you look at him, really look at himâhis nervous fidgeting, his hopeful eyes, the way heâs still holding his breath like the next thing you say could break him. he has always been fragile in your hands.
so you shift a little closer, just enough that your knees are touching, âmaybe I didnât dream about it, but Iâve definitely thought about it.â
his eyes widen by just a faction. âwait. seriously?â
âseriously.â
heâs silent for a beat. then: âso⌠should we see if itâs as good when weâre awake?â
your lips twitch into a smile. âi was hoping youâd ask.â
zayne
⥠you find him in the usual place: sitting by the window of the little cafĂŠ thatâs almost always empty in the late afternoon. heâs got a half-eaten pastry in front of him, something fluffy and sugar-dusted and a steaming cup of tea, both untouched for the last few minutes. his fingers are fidgeting with the wrapper, and she can tell heâs deep in thought.
âyou look like youâre about to perform surgery on that poor pastry.â you say, sliding into the seat across from him.
he glances up. âi was⌠thinking.â
âno kidding,â you teases gently. âabout what? the sugar content of that cake?â
he almost smiles, but doesnât. âsomething else.â
you lean your elbow on the table, chin in hand. âalright, lay it on me.â
heâs quiet for a moment longer, eyes flicking to your face and then quickly back to the pastry. then finally, â[name]âŚhow do I know if I have a crush on someone?â
you blink, caught off guard. âwaitâ your brows furrow, âyou?â
he raises an eyebrow, deadpan. âis that so hard to believe?â
âno! no, itâs justââ you straighten up a bit, clearing your throat. âokay. well⌠usually, you canât stop thinking about her. even when you try to do so. and you kind of⌠feel the need to be around her, no matter what happens.â
his expression doesnât change much, yet, his fingers stop moving.
âand thereâs this fluttering,â you continues, a little more softly now, looking at the view outside the window âlike, in your chest or your stomach. especially when she smiles at you, or when she says your name. and then it gets to the point where you just⌠want to kiss her.â
you trail off, before turning your attention back to him. âwhy are you looking at me like that?â
he doesnât answer right away. just gives you a long, unreadable look, except you know him, and you can see it now, beneath the cool exterior: the slight softening of his eyes, the way his lips twitch at the corners like heâs holding something in.
ââŚi think iâve confirmed my theory,â he says quietly.
your breath catches. âoh.â
a small pause.
âwant to help me test the next part?â
rafayel
⥠the sunâs starting to dip low, brushing the ocean in gold. Itâs quiet, apart from the rhythm of the waves and their footsteps in the sand. you're walking a step ahead of him, like always, although your sights are for shells that washed up on shore. your guard slightly lowered as he told you that youâre technically âoff-duty.â heâs barefoot, his pant legs rolled up, and heâs carrying his shoes.
youâre scanning the beach. heâs watching you.
then, like itâs the most casual thing in the world, he reaches out and laces your fingers together.
you glance down at your joined hands, then up at him. âwhat are you doing?â
he shrugs one shoulder, looking out at the ocean like itâs super fascinating. ânothing.â
ânothing?â
âyep.â a pause. then, in a voice thatâs way too breezy to be innocent:
âYou know iâm just saying, but me holding your hand doesnât, like, mean anything, by the way. not in that way, at least.â
you raise an eyebrow, but say nothing.
âunless,â he adds quickly, turning his head just enough to look at you from the corner of his eye, âyou, miss bodyguard want it to mean something. i donât mind. thatâs also cool too.â
you stop walking. he almost bumps into you.
âare you flirting with me orâŚ?â you ask.
he laughsâ actually laughs, bright and unguarded. âhonestly? a little of both.â
you stare at him for a beat, then gently squeeze his hand.
âhm. good,â you say. âbecause youâre not as smooth as you think you are.â
he smirks. âyouâre still holding my hand, though.â
âonly because you look like youâd trip over a seashell without supervision.â
ârude,â he says, absolutely beaming now.
they walk a little farther, the soft hiss of the waves filling the space between them. heâs still holding your hand; not making a big deal out of it, not looking at you, just swinging your arms lightly like itâs the most natural thing in the world.
you start to think maybe that was it. just another playful moment, like always.
then he says, lightly, âdonât get used to this, by the way.â
you glance at him. âto what?â
âthisâ he lifts your hands. âme being sweet and vulnerable and emotionally available,â he says, dramatically gesturing with your linked hands. âitâll ruin my whole reputation.â
you snort. âwhat reputation?â
he gives you a wounded look. ââll have you know iâm very exclusive and very high maintenance.â
âvery high maintenance,â you reply, he gives you a look ready to squeeze your cheeks. âand yet here you are. barefoot. holding my hand.â
he shrugs, casual as ever. âwhat can I say? i can make exceptions.â
you playfully roll your eyes. you can tell by the way he wonât quite meet your gaze, by how long he holds onto your hand even as they head back up the beachâ that he meant it. that all of it, wrapped in sarcasm and smirks, was real.
he wanted this to be a bit more. a little louder. but he doesnât want to rush things, he can wait.
and thatâs fine. because you can already hear him loud and clear.
i love you.

⥠the neon lights from open information bars and pubs flickered overhead, casting long shadows across the alleyway. the city was alive, but it was a dangerous kind of aliveâ full of opportunity and threats, all tangled together. his footsteps echoed softly against the concrete, the weight of his presence somehow making the danger feel less threatening. you walked beside him, always a step behind, always on alert. it was a game you had played with him for too long; trying to read him, understand him, while he effortlessly stayed two steps ahead.
the two of you stopped at the edge of a rooftop, looking out over the city. he didnât need to say anything; the view said everything. this was his world. this chaos. this lawlessness. and you weremthe only one he ever let close enough to see it.
"have you ever thought about what youâre doing here?" you asked, your voice steady, but there was a hint of something you couldnât hide. a curiosity you kept hidden behind a mask of indifference.
he glanced at you, that smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. just like a cat. "of course. every day. i just donât care what happens here." he paused, his eyes lingering on yours. "what matters is whoâs left standing when all the dust settles."
you frown slightly, his eyes landing on your hands that clenched the wall that stopped you from falling. but he didnât give you the chance to react before speaking again, his tone light.
"we should compare hands, you know?"
You turned to him, brow furrowed. "what?"
"relax," he said, with that usual glint in his eyes, âitâs not like we havenât done anything worse."
you hesitated, feeling your heart skip a beat, your immediate instinct being to pull back.fingers twitching involuntarily. the first time heâd grabbed your hand, it had been against your will. heâd been so casual about it, so sure of himself,in a way that left no room for argument, you felt a mixture of surprise, anger, and fear. but now, he was trying to act like it was just another casual request, like you weren't on the edge of resisting again.
âiâm not interested in playing your games,â you said, voice flat, but you didnât pull your hand back when he reached for it. you just stiffened. his grin grew wider, the challenge in his eyes evident. âiâm not asking you to play, sweetheart. iâm asking you to hold my hand. thatâs all.â
he laced your fingers together before you could fully react. his hand was warm. steady, unbothered, as if this was just another part of the endless games he played with you. you were used to his teasing, his relentless needling, but there was something different now. his touch wasnât just about control; it was about possession. and you hated how that small, simple connection made your heart race.
his hand, as always, was steady. calm. It was the touch of someone who never asked for permission, never hesitated. someone who commanded everything they wanted. and you hated that you found yourself so drawn to him, even when he teased you like this.
âyouâre infuriating,â you muttered under your breath,âyet youâre still holding my hand,â he pointed out, his voice lighter now, almost like he enjoyed the small win. âand youâre not pulling it away, soâŚâ
your jaw tightened, and you almost pulled away again, but instead, you stayed still, letting the weight of his words settle between them. âyou never make anything easy, do you?â
ânever said I would,â he answered, shrugging like it was nothing, though you could see the glint of something more behind his eyes. âbut you donât really mind. do you?â
his voice lowering just a fraction, something softer in it that you used to rarely hear. "i just want to see what itâs like. to feel you there."
You glanced at him, trying to keep the walls up, but they were crumbling faster than you could manage. his touch, so simple yet so persistent, made everything else seem so small.
"does this mean you're finally admitting you have some feelings for me?" you asked, trying to tease, trying to keep your usual edge.
he didnât look at you, instead focusing on their handsâ his fingers still idly tracing the lines of yours.
"maybe," he said, his smirk still there, but with an edge youcouldnât quite place. "but youâd have to admit something too."
you cocked your head, eyes narrowing. "whatâs that?"
"that youâve been trying to avoid me this whole time. not because you hate me, but because you know better than anyone how hard it is to stop."
your breath caught in your chest.you wanted to snap back, to push him away, but the truth was, you didnât want to move. not yet. not with the way his hand felt in yours, like a small, unspoken claim. and in the end, you knew thatâs exactly what he wanted. to leave a mark. even if it was a small one.
caleb
⥠he hadnât planned on you finding him like this.
the curtains were drawn, casting the room in a dim gray light. the air was heavy with silence, broken only by the uneven sound of his breathing. he sat upright in bed, back propped against the wall, his blanket pulled tightly around his shoulders like armor. even nowâsweaty, pale, clearly feverish, he refused to look helpless. that was never an option around you.
but of course she found him anyway. she always did.
he was so insistent, he locked his door hiding away. that was until you had enough and brought your gun to his door handle and shot it open.
you sat quietly on the edge of his bed, careful not to crowd him, placing the small bowl of soup on the bedside table. heâd barely acknowledged you when you walked in, just looked away, jaw tight with quiet shame. like you seeing him like this was some kind of defeat.
he let the silence linger only for a moment, then broke it with a whisper, almost unsure of himself.
âdo you know that i feel strange whenever youâre around?â
his head turned slightly, just enough for you to see one of his eyes, glassy with fever, flick toward her. he blinked once. slowly.
you smiled faintly, trying to lift the weight in the room. âreally? youâre still teasing me when youâre sick?â you leaned in a little and gently poked his shoulder. âmeanie.â
a sound left his throatâ half a huff, half a laugh. he closed his eyes and rested his head back against the headboard, a muscle twitching in his jaw.
âi didnât want you to see me like this,â he muttered, voice hoarse and low. âi donât... like this.â
you softened. âi know. but iâm still here.â
he looked at you then. really looked at her. his face was flushed, his hair damp with sweat, and yet there was something unshakably steady in the way his eyes met yours.
âyouâre not supposed to take care of me,â he said, like it hurt to admit it. âi made a promise. to always protect you. not the other way around.â
you reached out slowly and took his hand, his fingers tense at first, then slowly relaxing beneath yours.
âi never asked you to carry everything alone,â you said gently. âyou promised to protect me, yeah. but I never said you had to do it at the cost of yourself.â
he didnât answer right away. just stared at their joined hands, his thumb brushing lightly against yours like he was grounding himself there. you could see the fight in him still, fighting his body, fighting his pride, fighting the fear that youâd outgrow him, leave him behind like some childhood relic.and you hated that.
so you squeezed his hand.
âyouâve always been there for me. let me be here for you, too.â
and finallyâfinallyâhe let his shoulders fall, the tension melting just a little as he leaned towards you, forehead resting gently against your arm.
ââŚyou really donât know how to back down do you?,â he mumbled, voice muffled by exhaustion.
You simply smiled as you looked down at him, eyes warm as you stroked his hair back from his forehead.
ânot when it comes to you.â
and for once today, he didnât argue.

"Oh no, that's fine I don't need all three. I just wanted one."
The genie raises an eyebrow. "So what is your 'one' wish?"
"I wish for time to stop every time I pick up and read a bookâand start again when I put it down, so I always have time to read."

âSo, you and Dr. Zayne?â
You damn near choke on your salad. Coughing, you place your fork down before turning to glare at Anvi. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
She smiles, as if that was confirmation enough. âIâve heard a thing or two from hospital gossipsââ
âVi, you are the hospital gossip.â
ââthat the cold, yet steaming hot doctor was finally seen accepting the company of someone else. Not to mention at the gala last weekend he was by your side all night long. Or so I was told.âÂ
Anvi leans in, smiling wide enough to burst her pretty face as you scowl down at your lunch, unable to meet her eyes. Fighting to keep your voice even, you nudge her off, stabbing a carrot. âYouâre ridiculous. Iâm not involved with Dr. Zayne, heâs tooââ Attentive? Intelligent? God donât think of him eating you out right now. âHeâs not my type.â
You feel your ears burn, but by the grace of some god Anvi doesnât seem to notice. Pouting she sighs and sinks back into the cafeteria booth. âAww man, I was really rooting for you, too.â
âRooting for a nonexistent relationship?âÂ
Anviâs about to say something, big doe eyes almost frantically darting between yours before she huffs and shakes her head, something akin to pity tightening her smile.
You raise a brow but she only shrugs, going back to picking at her lunch. âJust as well, a relationship between a resident and her boss would be quite the juicy scandal. Something straight out of a romcom, no?âÂ
Laughter rips from your chest, the sheer irony of both her words and your reality too much to bear. Anviâs windshield wiper giggles join your own, and soon the two of you are wheezing under your breath as you get side-eyed by the other surgeons trying to enjoy their lunch.Â
Really, whoever your author was had a fucked up sense of humor.Â
But the moment is ruined by the buzz of your pager, and you barely say bye to Anvi before youâre rushed to the operating bay.Â
As of today, you have two days to finish your manuscript.Â
Today's shift was exhausting, but youâve learned early into your career that writing is a discipline, and as fickle of a muse as inspiration is, a writer cannot simply wait for her to grace you with her presence. Whether you feel like it or not, this book has to get done.Â
Besides, what better mindset was there to churn out unhinged shenanigans than when youâre delirious and half-asleep, tucked away in the on-call room?Â
Okay, so perhaps not the best place to be, but logically if your shift finished only minutes ago and you had to page in at five AM yet again, youâre better off just staying here rather than driving back to your apartment and all the way back to the hospital again.
Opening your personal laptop, you tab onto your novel's draft, the flashing cursor taunting you as your editorâs comments blur into an overwhelming mess of red. While youâve worked your way through just about half of her six-thousand comments, that still leaves far too many, especially on your novelâs villain slash love interest as the trope always goes.Â
Youâre halfway through cutting cringey dialogue on a specific scene, but your thoughts keep drifting. Your conversation with Anvi keeps playing in your mindâ romcom, dating, scandal, boss. You suppress the heat rising in your chest, trying to ignore the reality you really don't want to face.Â
Zayne is⌠too much. Too intelligent, too caring, too perfect at catching you off guard.
Shaking your head, you try re-focusing, but between sleep deprivation and the realization that you havenât actually done anything physical with Zayne for nearly a week, you get far too distracted.Â
Itâs not that you havenât seen him since the gala. Far from it, really. Nearly every night if your shifts happen to end around the same time, he offers to drive you home. And when your shifts donât align, you always make the effort to cook something together, breakfast or dinner, at ungodly hours of the morning or evening. And if neither of those happened, you would watch a movie, at least for a few minutes till one or both of you fell asleep on your ratty couch.Â
God, youâre a fool. You canât help but want him by your side even now, loving the way he reacts to your inappropriate comments, loving the way he scoffs at your jokes, loving the way he notices even the most minute things about you. And yet thereâs a distance you canât explain, a growing space youâre both too afraid to fill.
You close your laptop with a soft sigh, rubbing your eyes as you lay back on the small cot, trying to block out the nagging ache in your chest.
Your phone buzzes from under the cot, and you glance at it absently. You nearly jump at Zayneâs icon flashing on your screen.
grumpy snowman: Under recent developments Iâd like to inform you of two things. One, you are banned from the hospital all of tomorrow under strict orders by me. Two, I currently have Mr. Whiskers held hostage, and should you fail to return home by 02:59 I will be forced to perform pulmonary bypass puncture and stop his heart.Â
Dumbfounded, you stare at Zayneâs text, blinking in confusion. Did your sleep deprivation just hallucinate a text? Violently shaking your head, you look back at your phone with slightly spinning vision just to confirm that no, this was very much real and Zayne has very much lost it.Â
ms. author: Is this a threat?
Another text follows immediately after.
grumpy snowman: Consider it your last chance. Come back and save him, or else... this may as well be his final night.Â
An image sends then, your favorite calico cat plushy all tied up with what appears to be Zayneâs tie, dangling the poor thing as though being held hostage. Your gaze lingers for longer than it should on how Zayneâs hands look in the dim lighting of the photo, so busy trailing up the veins on his lithe fingers that you nearly miss his next text.Â
grumpy snowman: Iâve already called an Uber. Itâs waiting outside.Â
You snort into the empty room, rolling to sit up straight.Heâs the last person youâd expect to pull this sort of thing. Itâs nothing short of ridiculous, but truly you donât know the last time youâve smiled this wide, and itâs precisely the distraction you need right now, especially if heâs already gone through the trouble of organizing it all himself. But like youâd go down without a fight.Â
ms. author: Youâre being ridiculous, youâd never hurt Mr. Whiskers you devil. You donât have the guts.
His reply is swift, almost immediate.
grumpy snowman: Do I now? Care to test that theory?
You can practically hear the smugness in his text, the playful challenge laced with a quiet but unmistakable sincerity. Your heart gives an unexpected flutter, the weight in your chest easing, if only slightly. Quite a villain, indeed.
You know what Zayneâs doing. Heâs not just playing around; heâs pulling you out of your head, out of the self-imposed spiral youâve yet again been retreating into. Youâve spent the better half of the week in it.Â
You bite your lip, considering your options. On one hand, you could brush him offâcontinue working, ignore the text, but something inside of you craves this attention. Craves his uncharacteristic ridiculousness. Craves the break from your mind that heâs offering.
ms. author: If you harm a single fur on my sonâs head Iâll put an end to your tyranny myself.
Zayne doesnât waste a second, sending only a single warning: Hurry.Â
You stand, grabbing your jacket and keys, and only then do you second guess this. The easy, safe choice would be to stay buried in your work, it would be to politely decline and place must-needed distance and formality back.Â
But for the first time in a while thereâs something you want more than work, and as you slip out of the on-call room, the image of Mr. Whiskers hanging helplessly from Zayneâs tie is enough to pull you out of the hospital.
You push your front door open, the silence of your apartment making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The lights are offâ odd, considering you could have sworn you left a lamp on. You always do, a force of habit since you live in a slightly less safe area of Linkon. Oh, the things you do for cheaper rent.Â
Pausing, your eyes scan the deceptively empty hallway and kitchen. Everything feels still, almost eerie, and your pulse quickens as you take your shoes off, right beside Zayneâs much larger dress shoes, to venture further into your apartment.Â
The faintest creak of floorboards makes you freeze. Your heart stutters slightly, the scare making you grip your chest as you whirl around, cursing out your cowardice. Youâve seen worse things wheeled into the ER. Please, get a grip.Â
You shake off the nerves just as your phone buzzes in your pocket, breaking the silence once more.
grumpy snowman: Youâre cutting it close. Five minutes before Mr. Whiskers meets an untimely demise.
You can't help the amused snort that escapes you, the tension in your body breaking.
ms. author: You really went this far? What now, villain?
The response is almost immediate.
grumpy snowman: Itâs a matter of life or death. I hope you're prepared.
Another photo attachment followsâyour favorite Christmas blanket thrown over the couch cushions in disarray, the faintest corner of Mr. Whiskers peeking out beneath it. The living room. You shake your head, muttering under your breath about the audacity of smug geniuses with far too much time on their hands.
You make your way to the living room in the dark, you flick on a lamp as you approach the couch. Lifting the blanket to find⌠nothing but a sticky note.
It reads, in painfully pretty cursive: Nice try, but youâll have to be quicker.
Another buzz.
grumpy snowman: You fell for that as well? I expected better. Already 02:56, timeâs running out.
You scoff, unable to stop yourself from laughing despite the absurdity.
ms. author: Do you even have anything better to do?
grumpy snowman: Not lately. Someoneâs been too busy to properly entertain me.
You read it once, twice, and still something in your chest squeezes painfully at that.
Folding up the note, you stare at the text a moment longer before you hear the echoing click of a door. Itâs coming from upstairs.Â
Another buzz.
grumpy snowman: While youâre lost in thought again, care to explain why youâve been running yourself into the ground?Â
You pause, stalling as you make your way to your stairs.
ms. author: I am writing.
grumpy snowman: Poorly, if youâre overworking. Canât imagine the tensionâs working out if itâs still stuck in your head.
ms. author: Gasp. Excuse youâ
Another buzz interrupts, just as you make it to your bedroom door, old wood announcing your arrival with a groan. The culprit has to be just behind it.Â
grumpy snowman: 3 minutes remaining. Mr. Whiskers wonât be around much longer.
You can practically feel Zayneâs grin through the phone, and for a brief moment, youâre glad heâs here, even if itâs all in jest. Heâs right although you might never admit it; this whole absurd situationâyour plushie, the stupid texts, the teasingâhas done what no amount of coffee or sleepless daydreaming could.
ms. author: If you harm a single fur on my sonâs head, I swear Iâll come for you.
Your hand latches onto your bedroom handle, biting your lip as you pause to type one last jab.Â
ms. author: I donât know why Iâm indulging you.
grumpy snowman: Because you love it when I win.
A laugh bursts from your lips before you can stop it. Shaking your head, you push the door open.
Your bedroom is dim, the curtains drawn, but moonlight spills through the dusky purple veils, illuminating the bed.
Perched atop lies Mr. Whiskers, your darling calico plushie sitting in the center, fully unharmed even though his crystalline eyes speak of unimaginable horrors at the hands of his captor.Â
Before you can grab him, movement from the corner of the room nearly startles you into jumping halfway across the room. Zayne, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, watches you with a slight upturned grin that makes your stomach twist.
âYouâre a horrible villain.â You huff, all but lunging on your bed to hug Mr. Whiskers to your chest like a shield.
His lips twitch into a smile, the bastard, and you can't help but notice how handsome he looks with his hair a little mussed and his glasses slipping down his nose. He doesnât have his coat or suit jacket on, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, a sight you havenât grown tired of.
God, you really have a thing for forearms. Or maybe itâs just a thing for Zayne.
âSince weâre critiquing each other, youâre not much of a hero. Hiding behind a plushie doesnât exactly inspire confidence.âÂ
âConfidence isnât my priority right now.â You clutch Mr. Whiskers tighter, narrowing your eyes. Heâs not here to talk about morals and heroism, though. âIâve been fine. Nothing more than proofreading left⌠that and a few problem-children scenes.â
âThen consider this me fulfilling my half of the contract,â Zayne says, effortlessly seeing past your usual bullshit. âFor someone who claims theyâre adequately inspired, youâve been more distant than usual.â
âI donât need a lecture.â
âNo lecture.â He steps closer, âI just missed you.â
Again, Zayne's words catch you off guard, so blunt they make your chest ache. No empty flattery, no pretty words, simply stated as though they were facts.Â
He takes another step forward, and you have to lean back on your elbowsâ nearly lying back on the bedâ to maintain eye contact as he looms above you.Â
And then, Zayne drops to his knees before you.
Itâs a far more graceful movement than it has any right to be, all six foot something of him kneeling against the foot of your bed as you instinctively make room for him there. Slowly, his hands come up to your thighs, the two of you slotting together with ease.
âAdmit it,â Zayne whispers, the sweet, minty heat of his breath caressing your lips as you shiver, leaning closer despite yourself. âThis helped.â A wry smile, âand that I make a convincing villain.â
âWhatâs this, is the doctor Zayne fishing for compliments?â
âI donât need compliments. I just want you to stop pretending in front of meâ no more performances.âÂ
Heat rises to your face, and your stomach twists. He's too close, he's always too close, but god, why has this domesticity become so natural around him?Â
Despite yourself, you look down at his hands again, taking in how easily his scarred palms cup your thighs, the pale contrast of his skin against yours. Lithe, long fingers, and the memory of how well theyâve treated you. You swear he must feel your heart pound where his thumbs brush circles against your inner thighs, your body nothing but responsive for him.Â
But if he does, he spares you the embarrassment. Zayne only continues to look up into your face, and just as you begin thinking of equally inappropriate jokes or fun facts to break the silence, Zayne moves closer, his knee pressing between your thighs as the mattress dips to accommodate his weight.Â
âPerhaps there is a performance you could help me with, since youâre clearly the expert here.â
You blink, one step behind Zayneâs master plan yet again. âWhat- help you?â
âYes. See, Iâve been thinking about my next move as a villain, andâŚâ Before you can even follow Zayneâs words, Mr. Whiskers is yanked from your grasp once more. One hand raises him into the air and the other lunges for your outstretched arms, pinning them to the bed as it creaks and groans under the sudden assault. âI think Iâll take Mr. Whiskers as my captive once again.â
A soft gasp leaves your lips as Zayne shifts above you, his knee grinding up just enough to have you aching between your legs. Everything spins, torn between the desire to rescue Mr. Whiskers and the overwhelming urge to give in, to pull Zayne closer, to finally, finally fuck him yourself.
But before you can decide, the hand pinning your wrists tightens, his thumb rubbing circles as he effortlessly restrains you.
âYouâre ridiculous,â you curse, though the tremor in your voice betrays your excitement.
âRidiculous?â Zayne repeats, arching a brow. âPerhaps you should start taking this seriously, my dear protagonist.â He drops his voice into something rich, dark, and deliciously villainous. The hand that pins you down holds firm, the other dangles your plushie overhead with mocking menace.Â
You scoff, though it comes out shakier than intended. âI could write circles around your attempts at being evil.â
âCould you?â Unbuttoning his shirt, Zayne gets only halfway before abandoning it entirely, letting the buttons skew across his chest. He watches with a growing smile as your eyes flutter downward against your better judgment. âThen why donât you show me.â
Zayne nods to your phone, eyes narrowed from behind his glasses. âOpen the doc, show me the scene. Any attempts to rescue the captive will be met with appropriate punishment.âÂ
The way Zayne looks down at you, waitingâdaringâ to see if you would make him stop, sends a sinful flutter through your core, ricocheting up your spine. No longer trusting your voice, you nod and feel the pressure loosen ever so slightly on your wrists.Â
You only have time to pull your phone out from your scrubâs back pocket before Zayne captures your wrists again, the tie once used on Mr. Whiskers now knotted efficiently right above your wrists. It should be frightening, how easy it is for him to manhandle you, but you feel nothing but painful arousal at that fact.
Youâre still growling out faux protests when Zayne plucks the phone from your hands, his knee keeping your hips firmly pinned against the mattress.
âAh,â Zayne murmurs, scrolling casually through your doc. âA scene involving betrayal, a chase, andâŚâ He raises a brow. âPassionate accusations of treachery.â
You thrash beneath him, trying to buck off his weight as your face burns in embarrassment. âEnough! Youâre supposed to help, notââ
âNot what?â He glances at you briefly, lips pursed in a halfhearted attempt to mask his amusement. âNot put your villain to the test? Iâll admit I might have ulterior motives, but youâll have to try harder than that.â
Zayne then waves the plushie just out of reach before dangling him on the windowsill for dramatic emphasis.
âI swear to god, if you harm Mr. Whiskers!â
He cuts you off with a chuckle. âHush. Youâll want to hear this.âÂ
Zayne clears his throat, the smirk on his lips unmistakable as he picks up where you left off in editing your manuscript. His voice drops into a faux-sinister drawl as he begins to narrate. ââYou can hate me all you want,â the villain growled, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. âBut that fire in your eyes only makes me want to break you more.ââ
It's horrible, the way he reads the words, the tone and cadence he gives the prose, and worst of all, the way his unblinking gaze remains completely, utterly, fixed on you as he speaks.
âZayne, please, donât- this is embarrassing,â you beg to appeal to reason, still writhing against his tie, when you realize his grip against your hips has loosened.
Zayneâs attention is momentarily diverted as he scrolls through the doc, looking for another section to read, and you kick your knee up with a shout, jabbing it into his side as the two of you tumble across the bed.Â
Lunging, you manage to grab Mr. Whiskers for all of two seconds before Zayne hauls you up by your bound wrists, forcing you arms above your head as you are pulled back against him. Heâs rough, forcing your spine to arch against his chest as you hiss on impact, head thrown back against Zayneâs shoulder. âAh-ah. What did I say about attempts to rescue the captive?âÂ
His tone is all mockery, grip iron against your waist even though you can tell heâs still holding himself back. Feeling each hot, ragged breath against the back of your neck, the smell of ambroxan and sandalwood surrounding you. You breathe in deeper, shaking despite yourself.
âLet go of me!â
ââClose. I believe the actual line was âunhand me.ââ
Zayne hauls you further up the mattress, hooking your bound wrists onto the post of your bedframe as this new position forces you to face the wall, all while his free hand adjusts his glasses, scanning the next few lines. ââIâd rather die than let you win!â she spat, her chest heaving with defianceââ He glances at you with deadpan incredulity. âWhy is everyone always heaving in these scenes? Do they all have asthma?â
âYouâre the worst,â you hiss, breathless from the struggle. See? Heaving, no asthma involved, just foreplay.Â
âAnd yetâŚâ Zayneâs voice comes closer, and you feel his bare chest once again at your back, âyouâre the one who wrote it. Iâm simply giving you an immersive experience.â
âCanât be fully immersive if I have yet to believe you, villain.â Scoffing, you turn around, craning your neck just to glare him in the eyes. âYou donât have what it takes.â
Zayne chuckles, then silence. Forcing your head towards the wall again, you feel him lean down, still out of sight despite the heat radiating off his body, his nose brushing down your bare throat as he spits out the next line.
âBrat.â
You hate how immediately your body responds to that. How you shiver and lean back despite the restraints, how a part of you wants to fight, to keep the act going, because god, the idea of letting Zayne do anything he wants to you is enough to make your head spin.
Zayneâs teeth press against your neck, just below your ear, and you whine, the sound so small and deprived that you instantly bite your tongue and curse yourself for reacting like this.
So then he does it again.
A pitched gasp.
A broken moan.
Each noise he elicits from you is another cruel victory, and when you grind your ass back against Zayneâs increasingly obvious erection, he all but tears your scrubs down your thighs, the cotton of your panties not standing a chance against his desperation.Â
In truth, Zayne had never been harder in his life. Did he intentionally pick the most on-the-nose dialogue just to watch you squirm? Perhaps. But heâd be lying if he said seeing you battle against primal desire beneath him, feeling your half-hearted attempts to fight him, accidentally grinding your ass against him with every squirm didnât make him want to push you even further.Â
Every breath came out heavy, chest heaving as he continued his performative reading, large palms alternating between slapping and gently squeezing your ass.Â
âYouâre greedy,â a kiss against your shoulder, shucking your scrubs down your knees. âImpatient,â another kiss, this time down your spine, throwing your pants across the bedroom. âAnd utterly disobedient.âÂ
Youâre already stripped bare from the chest down.Â
He can't deny the sight of you in such a compromising position is a sight to behold, and the urge to keep reading just to see how far he can push you is intoxicating. Panting, he pauses only to readjust his glasses, foggy and slipping down his nose.Â
You, however, are too impatient.
"Zayne, please, you got your point across. You win. Justâ ah, just fuck me already."
It's the first time in nearly a week that Zayne gets to hear you ask for him, beg for him, and it's all the reminder he needs for his body to fail him, shuttering against you with a moan of his own. How did he survive so long without this? Without you?Â
Your voice rings against his skull, and itâs all he ever wants to hear. Moan his name, beg for him, scream it, call it out, anything. He needs you, irreversibly.
And not just for this.
So instead, Zayne looks back at your doc one last time, reading, âTo think this is the cityâs great hero. How Iâll enjoy breaking you.â
With a click, your phone turns off, tossed carelessly to the floor with a heavy thud that would have sent you into a panic had Zayne not chosen that exact moment to bite into the soft flesh behind your neck, thumb instantly finding your clit.Â
The sensation alone is enough to make you cry, arching further up against the bindings. His hand snakes back around your hip, grounding, just barely brushing against the heat of your cunt, and the way he breathes out a low, half-delirious chuckle at the sound of you panting his name has your core fluttering for more.
"Please, Zayne, please," you whine, and the second the pleas leave your mouth, his thumb presses delicious circles into your neglected bundle of nerves. You whine, loud and needy, the second his fingers sink inside, held up only by Zayneâs arm wrapped around your waist and the tie pinning you against the bed frame.Â
âAlready begging? I wonder how much more obedient youâll be after I fuck it all out of you.â And god, Zayne wanted to mock such an obscenely written line just to watch you blush all over, because what sort of villain would actually say such a thing?Â
But when he sees you whimper at his words, when you arch so willingly into his punishment, when he feels your heartbeat quicken under his fingertips, he suddenly canât say he faults any of these romance writers, for he now knows heâd do far worse than any of their cardboard villains.Â
Zayne doesnât even need to read the next line in the doc to know exactly what heâd do next.Â
All but falling to the mattress, Zayne pulls your hips up, up until youâre atop his face, sinking his tongue between your folds before dragging all the way up to your clit, sucking with enough tension to make you scream.Â
Your hands burn from where they chafe and fight against the tie, bucking violently against Zayneâs face, the cold kiss of his glasses frames making you jolt as he pulls your hips toward him like itâs the last thing keeping him sane.
âNo,â Zayne groans between breaths, unable to part with you as he messily kisses your inner thigh before coaxing two fingers inside you with a thrust. âDonât run. Do not run from me.â
Every scissor of his fingers forces obscene sounds from your cunt, silenced only by Zayneâs mouth and his own muffled praises. Granted, it didnât matter how loud he was being, not with all of your delirious moans, completely unsuppressed as Zayneâs calculated ministrations took you apart thrust by thrust.Â
At least you can remember being thankful that your apartment walls were sound-proofed. Breath ragged, mind spinning, only mindlessly fighting back as you babble, âWait, youâre so- ah- fuck. Zayne!â
Quite canonically to your villain, Zayneâs hips buck into empty air in time to every thrust of his fingers, imagining it was his cock fucking deep into you instead. Itâs a line heâs fantasized about crossing time and time again.Â
But thatâs where it stops. Fantasy. Because just the thought of it has Zayne groaning into your cunt, the taste and feel of you alone driving him insane, a point of obsession where he cannot allow himself to go any further. He canât. He canât, he really shouldnât.Â
Heâd never recover, heâd never stop wantingâ needing you. Heâs addicted enough as is.
Zayneâs shirt had almost fully unbuttoned but his trousers remained, bulging as his cock wept from its prison against his thigh, fabric dark and painfully restraining. The mere friction was too little and overstimulating all at once. Even so, he canât help but chase the phantom feeling, grinding against nothing as you fall apart above him.
When your shaking thighs finally begin to lock around his jaw, he welcomes the cage, burrowing his face deeper as the strong arch of his nose presses against your throbbing clit. Zayneâs slick fingers are delegated to merely keeping your hips still, his tongue fucking you through your orgasm as his hips follow your same rhythm.
One touch, one touch is all he needs to cum with you, but Zayne refuses to do anything but work you through your high. He swallows the taste of you, open-mouthed and needy, a moan rumbling deep in his chest as you feel it hum through you.Â
Gasping, you look down, and immediately you feel your core flutterâ the sight enough to have you wishing he was back in between your thighs already.
Zayneâs entire body shakes beneath you, dark hair mused and hands digging into your hips in ways you know will leave half-moon marks. But what has you trembling is the sight of his hazel eyes eclipsed to near black, completely blown out and teary as they try and fail to focus on anything other than your pussy still fluttering above him. Something you can barely see at all, not with the amount of cum that squirted across his glasses, foggy and skewed across his nose as it too glistens with your release.Â
Itâs an obscene picture you only get for a moment before Zayne chucks his glasses off just to place a closer, deeper set of kisses on your cunt. Practically chasing every buck of your hips, he happily lets you ride his face until your room begins to blur yet again, weightless and utterly fucked.Â
Youâre panting, vision still coming back in waves as you register Zayne untying your hands, all the while kissing the light bruises that remain.Â
And yet you can hardly think of anything other than the fact that he still hasnât properly fucked you.
âZayne,â you call, and god, something in your chest squeezes at just how fast he whips his head around, already ducking to meet your eyes as he scans down your face. Thereâs worry etched into his features, his eyes scanning yours like heâs already bracing for whatever youâll say next.
âIâm sorry, I knew I should have taken better precautions. If your hands hurt I can get a salve fromââ
âFuck me.â
Silence.Â
Zayne blinks, his mouth parting and eyes squinting as though he misheardâ or somehow misreadâ you.
âWhat?â he manages, his voice barely above a whisper.Â
You sit up on your knees, pulling off your shirt one swift movement so youâre completely naked, then lean forward until your noses nearly touch, his eyes dropping to your breasts. The boldness only shakes him further. âIâm sorry, I canât let you run away this time. I wantââ Reaching your hand out, your fingers trail down Zayneâs bare chest, hardly even pushing for him to fall backward. And for you to follow on top. âI want to do this for you. I want you.â
Zayneâs breath is deceptively steady, and if you couldn't feel the ragged rhythm of his chest, rising and falling as it burns against your palm, you wouldnât have believed he was affected at all.Â
âYou donât-wait- have toââ he starts, but his voice breaks when your fingers trace the curve of his ribs, lips following suit as you place gentle kisses down his sternum, his slender abs, dangerously close to the v-line dipping into his pants that you canât help but lick, smiling in delight as his words finally fail him.Â
âNeither did you. Youâre rather stubborn, doctor,â you insist, soft but unwavering. Resting your head against his thigh, you coax his jaw down to look at you, the palm still resting against his chest finding the erratic thrum of his heartbeat beneath your touch. âLet me take care of you for once. Donât you know good patients listen?â
Zayne huffs a quiet laugh, the sound strained as he looks down at you, right side of his lips curving into a faint smirk despite the way his body seems to ignite at your touch. âBringing in our professional titles seems a little underhanded, donât you think?âÂ
 âAh, but it got your attention, didnât it?â You donât let him stall anyoneâ already heâs managed to keep this from you for weeks, really itâs a shame you havenât stripped him earlierâ letting your tongue trace the dip of his hip once more, humming as his muscles tense under the sudden attention.Â
Greedy, your lips continue to worship every sharp edge and curve of Zayneâs abdomen, hands busy with his buckle until you manage to find a particularly sensitive spot just above his right hip bone.Â
All his composure, all his calculated confidence, you want to break it apart until thereâs nothing left but Zayne. Just Zayne.Â
Zayne inhales sharply, eyes screwing shut as his mouth falls open in a picture of perfect debauchery you want etched into your mind forever. One hand fists into the sheets beside him, the other flying to your hair as your kisses turn to a dizzying mix of licks and nips. Hard enough to mark, you bite into skin, tongue flicking between your teeth, echoing across the room alongside the wet sounds of your mouth at work.Â
âAh, fuck.â
Cursing already? Perhaps this would be easier than you thought, but whereâs the fun in that?
You pull back, watching Zayne blink in confusion as his hips twitch up toward your mouth, and you have to force back a laugh as he stares, bewildered, like he can hardly believe the sight in front of him.
His voice comes out huskier than before, low and coated with desire. "Why did you stop?"
You pull back just enough to look up at him, cheek resting on his thigh as you play with his zipper, never looking away from Zayneâs eyes even as they flutter closed in frustration, desperate for more. Tension practically radiates off of him, but you only smile, taking your time as you trail your fingers away from his zipper and bulge, teasing the sensitive edges of his hip and the skin peaking just over the edge of his trousers.Â
âDonât worry, doctor,â you murmur, your voice low and teasing. âIâll be sure to complete your procedure just as thoroughly as you did on me.âÂ
Oh, and Zayne must realize how utterly fucked he is, for you wonât be letting him go not until youâve adequately paid him back for all the times heâs deliberately edged you to the point of tears, all the times heâs reprimanded your attitude, all the sweet punishments youâve ensured that youâre going to give back to him tenfold.Â
But before he can try and sweet-talk his way into mercy, your teeth catch on his zipper, dragging it down as your free hand unlaces his belt, tossing it across the room by the time his bulge presses out from between the metal teeth all on its own.
Achingly hard already, and you haven't even begun.
The fact that you know heâs this hard just from eating you out certainly doesnât help.Â
His boxers are soaking, the obvious bulge only emphasized by the way the damp cotton seems to stick to him, and god does the size of him make your core flutter.Â
Maybe next time youâll get him to come just by eating you out.Â
Next time, though.
Without warning, your fingers wrap around his cock, freeing it from the confines of his boxers. A hiss grits out through Zayneâs teeth as his jaw clicks and a vein thrums against his neck from the pressure.Â
You're so used to having Zayne above you, between your legs, teasing you senseless as his fingers or tongue bring you to the edge over and over again. And now, here he is. Spread out, and all yours to ravage.
The realization alone has you throbbing, prior orgasm all but forgotten as you feel the want burn between your thighs again.
If only he could see how wet you were already.
How could he not, with the way your hips were rocking against his still-clothed thigh, searching for the friction he wouldnât give?
And yet, despite your impatience, your eyes never leave Zayne, watching the way his muscles flex as he resists the urge to move, ever obedient for you.
"Good boy," you purr, meaning only to tease him further, but instead of the faux glare or inscrutable comment you were expecting, Zayne tenses beneath you, his cock jumping against your palm. Your eyebrows raise, a breathless giggle betraying your intentions as you lean in closer.
"Oh? Do you like that, baby? Being told just how perfect you are for me?â
You're not sure what's more arousing, the fact that Zayne is practically coming undone at your words, or the fact that he hasn't denied a thing.
God, his body feels hot. The mere praise has a dusky blush racing down his gorgeously sculpted chest all the way to the tips of his ears, his bottom lip tucked between his teeth as he looks down between the two of you, to where youâre still teasing the weeping slit of his dick. He moans before he could even stop himself. Fuck.Â
Shivering, Zayne reaches out to grasp your wrist, and for a moment you think he's going to put a stop to your little power trip. But his hand only comes up to guide yours, urging you to pump his cock a bit faster, stopping to put more pressure against the base, and you can't help but smirk knowing he must be truly desperate if he's already rushing you to jerk him off properly.Â
"My, my, doctor. I suppose Iâm not the only one whoâs been holding back.â You click your tongue, a teasing edge to your voice. "Were you really so desperate to feel me around your cock, hmm?"
Hazel eyes narrow at the pure filth behind your words, but you see the furrow between his brows, the way Zayneâs throat bobs as he throws his head back with a choked groan. If he looks so damn pretty now, you wonder what kind of faces heâll make when he cums.Â
âYou truly are horrible,â He groans, hesitating, hands clenching into the sheets before they fly up to your waist, gently bucking his hips into your awaiting palm. âMhm- please.â
You hum, lazily sinking to your stomach so your bare chest presses against his still-clothed thighs. With each stroke you can feel his muscles twitch beneath you, see the way his jaw clenches and unclenches, the way his hand guides yours, tightening and loosening, urging you to go faster, harder.
Your mouth waters, and the urge to taste him is far too tempting to resist.Â
Plus, youâve had enough with denying yourself, and more than enough of Zayne denying himself as well.Â
So right as Zayneâs head rolls back against the pillows you rock forward, licking a slow stripe up his dick, up between the gap of your fingers where they grip his base.Â
Zayne chokes on his breath, hand immediately tangling in your hair, rough enough that it has you wrenched away with a breathless whine. He groans, words shaking out in breathless huffs, âYou, hah- this isnât, fuckââ
"Ah, ah, pretty boy, let me take care of you, yeah?" You fight to come back to him, smiling as Zayneâs grip immediately loosened, and you kiss his tip in thanks.
Rubbing teasing circles into his thighs, your thumbs then move up, tracing his v-line, addicted to the way his muscles tense under your nails and to the red lines that follow. It makes you want to mark him up more. So you do, with your nails again, then with your teeth and tongue.Â
âLook at how- shit- how excited you are for me. So pretty.â You lean forward, pressing wet, messy kisses just below his navel and all around his already sticky thighs, heady and coated in pre-cum.Â
Another bite, and you squeeze his balls with just enough pressure as you watch his eyes roll back in time. "I'm going to make this so, so good for you, baby.âÂ
Zayne all but sobs at that.
Every carefully restrained thought breaks completely at the praise, a raspy moan grinding through his teeth before his jaw falls open with every ragged huff of breath.Â
âMhm thatâs it, youâre doing so well,â you say, smiling at the way his cock twitches, violently leaking, pre-cum pooling into your palm and dripping down your wrist. âSo pretty, so perfect just for me.â
With one last kiss on Zayneâs tip, your hands steadies itself against his abdomen before you kitten-lick around the tip of his cock, and then greedily shove as much of his throbbing erection as you can down your throat.
Zayne tenses, gasping, and the sound sends a thrill down your spine. You press further, tongue flattening along the underside of his shaft, and fuck heâs so thick you nearly choke, forgetting to breathe in through your nose as the lack of oxygen gets to you embarrassingly fast.Â
If only you had some more time to properly adjust, you'd force him to the hilt without a doubt. But patience has never been your virtue.Â
Youâre already edging yourself with every slow grind of your clit against Zayneâs thigh, and you can feel his desperation in every throb along the underside of his cock in your mouth, letting his tip hit the back of your throat, breaching as deep as you could allow.
Zayne begins to buck forward only to freeze halfway, a low hiss leaving him as his hand twitches against the sheets, knuckles turning white as he fights his own self-restraint as you urge him deeper into your hot mouth. Trying to pull you off him, Zayneâs hand laces through your hair as a warning, large enough to cup the back of your neck entirely, but the action only lets you take him further.Â
Then he makes the fatal mistake of looking down at you, locking eyes with your teary gaze as you maintain eye contact before licking up his length, and then swallowing him back down, crying as mascara and drool runs down your chin. His hips stutter upwards, and then he catches the shallow bulge now pressing against the base of your throat. Up and down and back again.
The sight breaks him.
He throws his head back with a whine, and fuck, his sounds thrums against your skull, reverberating through your very being as he snaps, hips bucking wildly into your mouth, his powerful thighs trembling around your head. Youâre being used as nothing more than a fucktoy now, hands scrambling for purchase against his abdomen for a semblance of control as you take it.
Fuck, maybe itâs the praise, because you make Zayne want to be greedy with the way you were gagging and choking around him.
The mere feeling of you drooling around his length, the way your moans come out muffled and wet with drool and his slick, like a messy kiss to his cock, has his hips stuttering deeper, arching up into your body until Zayne can practically feel the spark of his orgasm behind his eyes.Â
But no, that won't do.
After all, you wonât be satisfied until heâs finally fucking himself inside you tonight. He canât cum anywhere else. You wonât let him.
And right when you feel his cock go rigid, you tighten your hand around the base, and pull off.Â
Heaving, you shakily prop yourself back onto your elbows, Zayne's length glistening with saliva between your bodies, twitching violently and leaking all across his abdomen and your chest from its angry red tip.Â
âSâpretty, Zayne.â
Zayne moans, hips chasing after the heat of your mouth, hissing when all he feels is the cold air. He wants to protest, wants to ask for more, but you shush him with a kiss.
Your tongue laps across his skin, tracing the ridges of his abs, lapping the pre-cum and sweat that gathers there. You lick a trail, following the sharp cut of his hips.
"What, is that all you can take?" you ask, a teasing smirk on your face.
Zayne curses, a frown tugging at the corner of his lips. âDepends.â His voice is fucked rough, raw, and you never want him to stop talking. âWas that the full treatment?âÂ
You hum, biting the inside of his thigh. He gasps, and it turns into a deep groan when you press an open-mouthed kiss over the forming mark.
âNo,â you admit, âYouâre not escaping until I get to watch you come undone.â
You smile at the shudder both your words and actions draw, the way his fingers tighten in your hair. âAh, but not here. In me. I want you to fill me up, baby, make a mess of me. I can take it, I promise. And when you're done, I'm going to ride you until you come again. Sound good, my pretty boy?"
Zayne throws his head back with a moan, eyes squeezed painfully shut as though he canât decide if this really is real or if a succubus was haunting his dreams to every sinful memory he has of you.
Zayne leans into your touch, following your palm as he nuzzles into you with a huff of hot breath. A little like a kitten in a man's bodyâ a sexy body no doubtâ but you wonder, not for the first time, if the reason he always holds back is simply because he was afraid. As you were. Until Zayne came to you, until he showed you what pleasure felt like.
So you take his face in your hands, forcing him to look at you, and then kiss him.
He lunges up to meet you halfway, licking into your mouth, fisting into your hair, breathing in every moan and whimper of his name as he hums it right back. Needy, so damn needy for it.Â
You smile through the kiss, grinding up and down his muscular thigh alongside the desperate smashing of mouths. Tongue-heavy, teeth scraping, sucking at the corner of your lips. So fucking hungry for you that heâs practically lifting you right off the mattress with just one arm.Â
His mouth distractedly chases down your throat leaving opened-mouth kisses before slotting back against your lips, hot and demanding and urgent.Â
âZayne, ahââ youâre cut off with another kiss, âMhm, please, need you,â another, Zayne looping two arms around your thighs, hiking your knees up to his shoulders, the stretch burning. âNeed you in me, now.â
He moans into your open mouth at those words, eager enough that he chases you up, nearly pinning you beneath him until you break the kiss with a gasp, shoving him back down. Zayne whines at the break of your lips, brows furrowed as his back hits the mattress, trapped under you once again, panting.
"Need you, pretty boy." You whisper against his lips, and it sounds just like a promise. "Please, let me take care of you.â
Zayne takes a shaky breath, nodding, drunk on the praise and readjusts himself against the pillows. He watches, eyes half-lidded, as you straddle his waist. Rough hands find your hips and hold them steady as you settle climbing atop him, the head of his cock rubbing between the folds of your soaked cunt.Â
It isnât lost on you how Zayne can barely stop staring at the slick that trails down your thighs, all of it coating his shaft in slick as your pussy hovers over him, connecting the two of you in wet, sticky strands.
"Like what you see, doctor?"
You lick down the milky column of his neck and Zayne groans, leaning back to grant you access. "You and your smart-ass mouth."
âYou love it.â
Ya, he does. He could probably cum just from watching you like this.
Leaning forward, you line his cock up with your entrance, smirking at the way his eyes narrow, heart racing beneath your palms as you balance yourself on his pecks, shamelessly groping them.
"Do you have any idea how many times I've thought about this? How many times I've imagined riding your cock, hearing the sweet noises you make as I make a mess of you?"
Zayne opens his mouth, as if to say something, but whatever it is doesn't matter, not as you guide the swollen red tip of his cock through your folds, thick tip pushing and sliding past your entrance, unable to fit even with your combined slick. Teasing, swollen pussy lips drooling right down onto his leaky head when just a simple nudge of Zayneâs squirming hips would end this torment and have you fucked flush against himâ raw.
"Please," he groans, his voice raspy and hoarse, eyes fluttering closed, glassy with lust, "I can't- I can't take this. Please,â a low moan of your name has you delirious, and god, youâd give him anything heâd ask for. âI admit it, I need you. So please.â
Were you more than happy to oblige.Â
Lifting yourself all the way up on your knees, you steadily apply more pressure to your entrance, working yourself further and further until you could feel your slick drip down your thighs and his cock, each movement now accompanied by an unholy squelch. You slide his cock over your cuntâback, then forwardâstimulating your clit with the head each time he fucks it through your folds, desperate as your movements become rougher and more forced.
Zayneâs cock catches against your entrance once again, and a low, breathy moan escapes his lips. He could feel your cunt finally yield to the pressure of his large, overbearing cock, could feel the way your legs trembled, threatening to give way, and he can't help but wonder if this is how you would look, how you would sound and feel, when he fucked you.
As soon as he feels the flutter of your core against his tip, he knows heâs lost, the head of Zayneâs cock sliding into you with a lewd pop as you both moan.Â
"Mhm, yes," you moan, voice a high-pitched keen. "Just- ah, like that."
Zayne bites his lip, fingers digging into your hips, and fuck, after being edged not once but twice today he already feels deliciously overstimulated and close, too close.
So it certainly doesn't help when you rock yourself up onto your knees, then drop yourself all the way back down his shaft, taking him all the way in until his balls slap against your ass.
You even don't wait for either of you to adjust before doing it again, and the velvety hot squeeze of your cunt has Zayne seeing stars.
âAh, f-fuck, oh, shit. Sâgood Zayne,â you coo, "Feels so good, fuck."
Youâre dripping down your thighs, gushing around him like a vice as he watches his cock disappear into your cunt with a creamy white ring already at his base.Â
Itâs all turning Zayne delirious with the way you continue to feed him compliment after compliment. Itâs all so much, too much, and a low moan is forced out of Zayneâs chest as he begins rocking his hips up to meet yours, hardly even letting you pull out before bullying his way back into you.Â
Fuck, you can feel him everywhere, his cock hitting your cervix, your walls stretched tight around him, a mixture of his and your slick pooling onto his abdomen as you chase your way up and down his length.
But god, what you feel is nothing compared to how absolutely wrecked Zayne looks.
His eyes are screwed shut, chest rising and falling rapidly, the flush from his ears having spread to his gorgeously marked-up chest, his neck, the angry red tip of his cock. His brows are drawn together, jaw clenched, the muscles in his neck and shoulders strained as he holds himself back, every part of him curling up to meet yours and press you down, closer.Â
But then he turns away, eyes screwed shut as you feel his tip jerk against your cervix once more.Â
No. No, no, no that wonât do.
Zayne has watched you come undone countless times. Heâs been a worshiper and witness to pleasures you didnât think you could feel, and this time, you want him to be the subject of all your adoration. To finally give him back all the love heâs taught you to feel and more.Â
So you lean down, cupping Zayneâs cheek with one hand as you continue to ride him. âLook at me, baby. Y-you're so, fuck, so big, Zayne, fuckââ You gasp a sharp breath as he twitches violently inside you at the praise, slurring your words. âMhm, love your cock so much."
But you doubted he could hear youâ fuck, you wouldnât even be able to tell if Zayne was breathing at this point if it wasnât for the throbbing of his cock against your walls in time to his erratic heartbeatâ because his eyes rolled back into his skull, jaw slack as a silent moan rips from his chest, shuddering down his spine right before his hips snap up into yours, throwing you off balance, pinpointing your g-spot with cruel accuracy as you scream.
Your sounds and babble of praises have him dizzy, eyes half-lidded and hazy as he struggles to focus on your face. It almost looks like heâs about to cry, dark lashes wet with unshed tears. Youâd tease him for it, had you the capacity to think at all. But no, each thrust continues to bully into that sweet, spongy spot inside you as you moan, and Zayneâs mouth falls open with a cry of his own.
You chase into it with a kiss, clashing your teeth as you feel his tongue lap against yours, sucking hard. You feel the wrecked, blissed-out smile on your face, breaking away from him just long enough for Zayne to see how ruined and turned on heâs making you.
"Y-you're close, aren't you, my sweet boy?" You ask, the words coming out strained as Zayne fucks up into you. Pumping upwards, itâs like he wasnât even trying every time his weeping head rams your sensitive spots. Just stuffing you full of his cock he denied you for so long, furious enough to mold you to his very shape. "C'mon, cum for me, Zayne. In me, pleaseâah."
You pull away even as his lips chase yours, arching your back so that your full weight grinds back on his hips. Zayne all but whimpers at the change in angle, his hands gripping the bed sheets as he tries not to starve off his orgasm.Â
"Please, please," he groans, his jaw clenching.
"Look at me, Zayne."
He does, and his pupils are so blown, his eyes nearly black.
"Cum for me, baby," you beg again, grinding down against him as his hand comes up to grope your chest the same moment your palm leaves to cup his balls, and that's all it takes.
Zayne comes, a cry ripped from his throat, his cock throbbing inside of you. You can feel the sheer warmth filling you, his seed spilling out and leaking onto the sheets, and god, thereâs so much of it that cum squirts out from between the two of you, splattering up his abs and your thighs.Â
Heâs trembling, head falling back as his hips jolt and stutter, still fucking up into you as though it canât bear to part. Youâre probably not helping with the way you still rocking on his length, your cunt milking his orgasm, and he can't take it, it's too much, too fucking good, he can't stop, never wants to.
But, fuck, one look at his face, and you already want him to cum again.
Zayne looks like sin, sweat slicking his hair to his forehead, his body writhing and straining as he gasps for breath, his skin shining in the afterglow of his release. The muscles of his neck are taut, veins pulsing and straining, his lips bitten red. He is fucking gorgeous, and the thought that he has done this for you, to you, has another wave of arousal shooting up your spine.Â
âYouâŚâ Zayneâs brows pinch together, but his voice is low, dangerous. Unyielding. âYou didnât cum.â
âI already did, besides I-I ah, Zayneâ!â
Youâre cut off by your own pussy, lewd squelching accompanying every brutal thrust Zayne overstimulates the both of you with, bullying his own cum out of you with each rhythmless thrust back in. He plants his feet into the mattress, thrusting his hips up as you claw at his shoulders, chest, the slap of skin on skin ringing in your ears.
âNo, that isnât-â Zayneâs words slur, feverish and mindless as his gaze zeroâs in to where the two of you meet, the sound of every wet, messy thrust and the slight bulge he now sees in time to his thrusts. âNot enough. With me. Please, hah, cum with me, love.â
Transfixed, one hand drifts to the bulge at your navel, and before he can stop himself, he grinds the heel of his palm against it. Immediately, overbearing pressure shoots up your spine, a broken scream leaving you as you tremble above him, arching violently forward.Â
You try and speak, protests leaving as nothing more than garbled whimpers as you claw at Zayneâs wrist, trying and failing to pry his punishing grip off you.Â
He doesnât relent.
How could he, when youâve finally given him yourself? When this was everything heâs denied himself and more?Â
Vision blurry, drool dribbling down the corner of your mouth, your combined cum gushes out of your overfilled pussy and spreads in a lewd little pool beneath you. Itâs all you can do to take it, Zayne overstimulating the both of you to insanity, but his hips keep the same punishing rhythm. Two slow, deep thrusts before something snaps and he hammers into you twice. Thrice. Then begins all over.Â
Itâs effortless, the way he bounces your body up and down with one hand, the other remaining pressed against your abdomen, massaging the outline of his dick showing through with every grind forward, rolling your clit between his forefinger and thumb.Â
Large hands splay your thighs wider, closer, impossibly stretching you out until all you can feel is Zayne, Zayne, Zayne. You donât realize youâre chanting his name out loud too. And you never felt more gloriously out of control than when he abruptly jerks his thigh upwardsâ driving you right along with itâ hitting your cervix all at once.
Thereâs no rhythm. Not anymore. Youâre hardly lucid, dropping your full weight down just to meet Zayneâs cock as he pulls you down prone atop of him to catch your mouth in an open kiss as he hits your g-spot again. And again. And again and again andâ
âLove,â he all but moans it into your lips, low and broken and oh so addicting. âMy love, please.â God, heâs still so painfully hard but the feeling of you fluttering around him, getting tighter each time he calls you love, must be a sort of heaven. âPleaseâ hah, fuckâ cum. Cum all over my cock.â
You whine, surging forward to kiss him again, and he feels it, couldnât do or think of anything but it as you cum around his cock for the first time.Â
Zayneâs eyes open even as you continue to suck and lick into his mouth, brows furrowed and vision blurring, lost in every hot pulse of your walls as they coaxed him further and further in, your release squirting against him as you struggle to drag your hips off him again, pussy sucking his cock in deeper, unwilling to let him go.Â
Shaking, his hands find their way back to your hips, settling over the light bruises as he guides you up and down again, startling you as you moan into his lips.Â
âZayne,â you whine his name between kisses, strings of spit snapping between you, Zayne chasing hazily after your mouth before you cup his face in your hands.Â
God, the sound of his name on your lips is enough to have him keening, pressing his forehead to yours as his entire body trembles.Â
Youâre coming again before you even realize it, vision spinning in and out as Zayne continues to fuck you through it. Zayne makes a noise, something between a moan and a whimper, his hips slowing despite himself.Â
You're gorgeous, the sight of you atop him, still slurring out compliments, and it's too much, fuck, too fucking much, too fucking perfect, his perfect woman.Â
With a final snap of his hips, Zayne comes alongside you.Â
His orgasm has him gasping and his entire body bows forward, arms wrapping around your middle as he buries his face in your shoulder, kissing into the tender flesh as he just keeps cumming.Â
He can't find the need to hold back this time. Not when the pleasure is so intense that his vision is turning white, not when your cunt is hot and pulsing and clenching around him, not when the praise and encouragement keep pouring out of your lips, whispering into the crook of his neck, "good job, Zayne, such a good boy for me, you did so well, my sweet boy, my love, hah, I love you."
When you finally come down from your high your body is sore and aching, the feeling of his hot cum deep inside making you whine, the sensation so much better than his fingers or toys, so much more warm and full.
Zayneâs arms are wrapped protectively across you, hugging you down atop of him even as his cock remains motionless within you, not an inch of skin untouched as his hands rub careful circles down your spine and thighs.Â
You nuzzle closer, whispering more nonsensical praises into Zayneâs hair, raising a shaking arm to comb through it as he still keeps his face tucks into your shoulder, hidden and shaking softly still.Â
A shift, and you feel his hot breath on your neck, a sudden drop of wetness against your skin, and you realize with a start that Zayne is crying.
Heâs crying. Soft, unrestrained sobs muffle into your shoulder as he tucks you close, burrowing his face into the crook of your neck between breaths. You let him. You curl up as close as you can get onto his lap and then closer still, one hand raking through his hair in gentle reverence as you let him cry.
It is silent, save for the sound of his sobs and his labored breaths.
"I love you, Zayne," you say, as if it was the easiest thing in the world. "You really are perfect, thank you, thank you."
You kiss his forehead, then down his cheek and jaw until he finally relaxes under you. Tracing lazy patterns up and down his chest, you coax him down until he finally raises his eyes to meet yours with a flutter of tear-stained kisses to your palm.Â
The first thing you notice is the way his cheeks are flushed, his eyes wavering and hazy. The second is the way his lips are swollen, the marks on his neck and chest blooming darker with each passing minute. The third is how the sweat on his skin is beginning to dry, making his hair stick up in all sorts of directions.
The fourth is the look on his face.
The look on his face is soft, tender, and unsure. Nothing like the infallible surgeon the whole city reveres, or the smart-mouthed mentor youâve grown to admire and respect. Just Zayne.Â
You brush the damp locks away from his eyes, pressing a chaste kiss to his forehead, the tip of his nose, and finally his lips, and he melts, his body falling forward onto you as he curls you into his side, tucking you down onto the bed alongside him.
âStay with me?â He asks, his voice low, as though afraid to ask. Afraid to know.
