a/n: wow... it's been forever guys... i was itching to finish the one of many sitting in my chamber, so i stayed up for 12 HOURS to finish this one (it took a while to get back into the groove of things). i miss you guys so much srsly...
A party was an unfamiliar setting for you, not for a girl who is in a 4 year long relationship. The music was too loud to think properly, the bass was vibrating through your body and giving you chills.
You stood near the edge of the party, far enough so that you could breathe, but also close enough so that you blended in. A red cup was warm in your hand. You hadnât really drunk much of it, just a little bit so that it would ease your nerves.
It felt so strange being here. But you werenât sure yet if it was a bad strange.
Your phone buzzed once in your pocket and your hand went to grab it on instinct, like your body had been trained to flinch before your mind even caught up. But you let go, you wouldnât let that habit belong to tonight. It belonged to him.
To him.
The thought pulled you backward for a second, away from flashing lights and noisy music and into the tight, suffocating space youâd been living in for months.
He never liked you going anywhere without him. âItâs just because I care about you,â heâd say, like control was a love language. Your friends had stopped asking you to come out because he always had a reason you couldnât. Your phone was always checked. Your replies were always monitored. Slowly your world had gotten smaller until it revolved around him.
And a name you didnât recognize. A girlâs name. Saved in his phone like it meant nothing. Like it wasnât a crack forming right through everything he swore wasnât happening. When you asked him about it, he laughed first as if you were the joke.
âYouâre just trying to start another argument.â
Then: âWhy are you always so insecure?â
Then, when that didnât land, he shifted it again. Somehow it became about you. Your trust. Your attitude. The fact that you were âalways trying to start problems.â
You had believed him before. You had always believed him before.
But this time you knew something was wrong, he was always able to convince you he was loyal, that you were so much work that he couldnât even think about having another girl.
So tonight, when he left his place in that familiar storm of frustration and superiority, you didnât follow. You waited until he was gone. Then you went out. The one thing you couldnât do alone.
When you were at the party, nobody was calling your dress unflattering or slutty. No one was holding you on a leash. No one was watching your every movement like a mistake waiting to happen.
And for once your shoulders dropped a little, you felt safer with a bunch of strangers than you did with your long-term boyfriend.
You even laughed once, quietly, at something someone said near you. It surprised you more than it should have.
It wasnât perfect. There was a small knot in your chest that refused to fully loosen. A kind of alertness that kept flickering, like your body didnât trust anything.
But it was still better, safer, easier.
And then your phone buzzed again.
This time, you felt it in your bones before you even looked. You pulled it out slowly.
It was a message from him.
A screenshot followed by a location pin you instantly recognized: this party, this exact place.
Your stomach dropped so fast it felt like the floor shifted.
Then the message:
âSo this is what you are.â
Another:
âOut acting like a whore while Iâm sitting here wasting my time on you.â
Your fingers went cold.
Your vision blurred the moment the second message fully landed.
It wasnât just what he said, it was how fast your body reacted to it. Like it already knew what came next. Like it had been waiting for this exact moment to collapse.
Your grip tightened around the phone until your fingers hurt.
For a second, you just stood there in the noise and light and movement, everything inside you going still.
Then it hit, the feeling of your heart in your stomach. The knot in your chest snapped shut like a fist.
The party didnât feel freeing anymore. It felt like too many eyes, too many voices, too much space for you to exist wrong in.
Your body moved, shouldering through people without really seeing them, muttering apologies that didnât sound like your voice. The red cup slipped from your hand at some point, you didnât even register when. It hit the floor and spilled, but you were already moving.
âWhore.â
The word echoed louder than the music.
âWasting my time.â
Each step felt heavier, like the house itself was resisting you. Your pulse was loud in your ears, drowning everything else out.
You found the kitchen first.
No thinking, just motion.
A half-empty bottle of whiskey sat on the counter like it was waiting. Someone had left it behind like it didnât matter. You grabbed it anyway, your fingers trembling, and kept going.
Through a hallway. Down a darker stretch of the house where the noise dulled into something muffled and unreal.
You pushed open the first door that wasnât locked. It was empty.
You stepped inside and closed it behind you without checking if anyone noticed. The room was dim, lit only by the glow of streetlights leaking through blinds.
A bed sat against the wall. Unmade.
You didnât think.
Your legs just gave out.
You slid down to the floor beside it, back pressing against the mattress frame like it was the only solid thing left in the world.
The whiskey bottle stayed in your hand for a second.
Then you tipped it back.
Burning, sharp, immediate, enough to make your throat tighten in a different way than the tears already building there.
You set it down too hard.
Your hands were shaking now, fully. Not subtle anymore. Not something you could hide.
And suddenly you werenât holding it in anymore.
Tears were hot and messy, shaking your whole body like something had finally cracked through the surface youâd been forcing together for too long.
You pressed your forehead to your knees, one hand still loosely gripping the bottle like it was the only thing anchoring you to the moment.
Your breathing couldnât settle, tt came in uneven pulls, and your eyes burned from crying too long, lashes clumped together, cheeks damp and hot. You kept your forehead pressed to your knees anyway, like pressure alone could keep you from falling apart further.
The room stayed quiet except for you.
You werenât sure how long you stayed like that, minutes, maybe longer, just existing in the aftershock of everything heâd said, everything youâd been swallowing for years finally spilling over all at once.
Your grip on the whiskey bottle loosened slightly, then tightened again when your thoughts drifted back to your phone.
You didnât want to look at it again. But you could still see the messages behind your eyelids as if they were branded there.
Your shoulders shook once more as another wave of tears came, quieter now but heavier in a different way. Exhaustion was starting to mix in with everything else.Â
You let out a shaky breath.
And then the door handle clicked.
Your head lifted so fast it made you dizzy.
The door opened.
Light from the hallway spilled into the room, slicing through the dimness. A figure stepped in mid-conversation, voice still trailing behind him like heâd been talking to someone just outside.
He had long blonde hair that caught the light even in the dark, soft and almost glowing against the shadowed hallway behind him.Â
Then his eyes landed on you, widening in surprise.
He scanned everything, the puffy eyes, the whiskey bottle, the tear stains in your sleeves.
Everything shifted.
âOh-â he started, instinctively stepping forward, then freezing again like his brain was catching up too slowly.
You blinked up at him, still teary, still trying to figure out if you were about to be laughed at, kicked out, or worse: broadcast back to the party like some kind of joke.
Instead, he quickly reached back and shut the door behind him.
Like he was trying to erase the fact that anyone else could even look in.
The noise outside vanished.
Just like that. It was just you and him now.
He crouched down slightly, closer to your level but not invading, like he was trying to take up as little space as possible.
His voice came out softer when he spoke.
âHey⊠are you okay?â
You blinked at him again.
Something about his voice didnât match what you expected. It was deeper than his face, steadier too, like it didnât belong to someone who looked this gentle.
You stared for a second too long, then sniffed, still a little unsteady.
âYour voiceâŠâ you muttered, slightly slurred, honest in a way you didnât have energy to filter anymore. âIt doesnât match your face.â
A pause.
Then, to your surprise, he smiled. It was such a bright smile that it caught you off guard.
It hit you in a strange way, so warm it made something in your chest twist, and suddenly you had to look away. Not because it was bad. Because it was too much when you were already full of everything else.
The floor felt colder under you.
He glanced briefly at the bottle near your hand, then back at you, his expression shifting, still calm, but more careful now.
Not judging. Just noticing.
âDo you want me to sit?â he asked quietly.
You nodded before your brain fully caught up.
It was small, barely a movement, but he seemed to understand anyway. He shifted down onto the floor beside you, careful, giving you space like he could tell you didnât want to feel crowded.
The silence that followed wasnât empty. It was soft. Weirdly safe in a way you werenât used to.
You stared at him for a second longer than normal, your eyes still glossy, cheeks blotchy, mind still half stuck on the messages burned into your phone.
Then it all came spilling out again.
âItâs justâŠâ your voice cracked mid-sentence, and you laughed weakly at yourself like it was ridiculous you were even talking. âYou know whatâs insane?â
He didnât interrupt or rush you, just tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening with his full attention.
That alone made your heart lighten a little.
âMy boyfriend-â you swallowed, rubbing your sleeve across your face clumsily. âHe acts like Iâm crazy. Like Iâm the problem. And then I find a girlâs name in his phone and suddenly Iâm the one ruining things.â
Your voice got sharper for a second, anger slipping through the sadness.
âAnd then he says Iâm insecure. Like- you donât even let me keep friends?â
A shaky breath.
You glanced at him like you expected him to react, to tell you you were overreacting, or to side-eye you the way your boyfriend always did when you spoke too much.
But he didnât.
He just listened.
So you kept going.
âI swear Iâm not even asking for much,â you said, leaning your head back against the bed frame, staring at the ceiling like it might explain things better than you could. âI just want someone who doesnât make me feel like Iâm begging to exist in their life.â
A pause.
Then, quieter, like the words slipped out without permission:
âHe doesnât even care if Iâm.. happy.â
You blinked.
Then, suddenly, you let out a small, humorless laugh.
âOh my god,â you muttered, turning your head back toward him. âIâm literally trauma dumping in a random guyâs bedroom. Thatâs crazy.â
He shook his head slightly.
âYouâre okay,â he said gently. âYou can talk.â
Something about that made your brain short-circuit in the gentlest way.
Your rambling shifted, almost absurdly, like your emotions couldnât decide what lane to stay in.
âI swear,â you said, gesturing vaguely with your free hand, âheâs like⊠emotionally present sometimes but also completely absent? Like heâs there but not there.â
He gave a small, understanding nod, like he was trying to follow every piece of it.
You huffed.
âAnd donât even get me started on intimacy,â you added, words coming out faster now that the dam had cracked. âLike, I donât even think he cares if I-â
You stopped mid-sentence, blinking.
Then shrugged.
âActually, yeah. He doesnât care if I do.â
A beat.
You laughed again, louder this time, like it was the funniest thing in the world.
âItâs like⊠âitâs about the intimacy, not the pleasure,ââ you quoted mockingly, air-quoting with both hands. âCool. Awesome. Iâm just lying there like a decorative doll while he calls it connection.â
The words hung in the air.
You didnât even realize how much youâd said until the silence shifted.
He didnât laugh.
Didnât look shocked either.
He just⊠blinked slowly, processing, expression turning a little more careful in a way that made your stomach drop slightly.
âMmm,â he hummed softly.
Not judgmental.
Just seemed surprised you were carrying all of that.
And then something in your chest cracked again, harder this time, because suddenly it wasnât funny anymore.
Your face twisted.
âI donât even know why I stayed,â you whispered, voice breaking at the edges. âI just- I thought it would go back to how it was in the beginning.â
Tears came fast again, slipping out before you could stop them.
âI feel so stupid.â
That was the moment his expression changed fully.
No discomfort or pity, just concern.
He shifted slightly closer, not invading, just enough that you could feel his presence more clearly.
âHey,â he said softly. âYou arenât stupid.â
But you were already spiraling again, the words tumbling out messy and emotional, your hands shaking harder.
âItâs just- he makes me feel like Iâm always wrong, like Iâm too much and not enough at the same time and I donât even know what Iâm supposed to be-â
Your voice broke.
And then you fully started crying again.
His eyes widened slightly, like he hadnât expected the shift so fast.
âHey- hey, itâs okay,â he said quickly, voice still gentle but now a little panicked at the edges.Â
He looked around like he wasnât sure what to do with his hands, then carefully lowered them near you without touching, like he was asking permission without words.
âDo you want water? Or- do you want me to call someone? A friend?â
You shook your head quickly at his question, tears still slipping down your cheeks.
âI donât even have friends,â you said, voice raw. âLike⊠not really.â
His expression changed again, subtle, but immediate. Confusion first, then something heavier underneath it.
You sniffed, wiping your face with your sleeve like it could fix anything.
âHe made it like that,â you added, quieter now but still spilling over. âAt first it was like⊠cute, I guess? He just wanted to spend time with me. Then it was like âI donât like them,â âtheyâre bad for you,â âthey donât really care about you.â And I thought he was protecting me.â
You gave a shaky laugh that didnât have any humor in it.
âTurns out he was just making sure I had nowhere to go.â
The words hung there a second too long.
The silence after your last sentence lingered longer than either of you expected.
It wasnât heavy in a bad way.
He exhaled softly, like he was choosing his words carefully.
âThatâs not⊠you,â he said gently. âWhat he did. Thatâs not you being friendless or anything. Thatâs him isolating you.â
You looked down at your hands, still shaking a little.
âYouâll be okay,â he added after a pause, a little more certain now. âLike, genuinely. You donât just lose people like that and then have no one forever. You will meet new people.â
His tone wasnât dismissive.
It was calm. Like he actually believed it.
But that only made something in your chest tighten again.
You lifted your head quickly, interrupting him before the reassurance could settle too deep.
âWhere are you from?â you blurted out.
He blinked.
The shift was so sudden it visibly threw him off for a second.
âYour accent is so prominent,â you added, like that explained everything.
A beat.
Then he let out a quiet laugh through his nose, clearly caught off guard.
âUh- Australia,â he said, like he still wasnât sure how the conversation had ended up here.
You nodded slowly, absorbing it with intense seriousness, like this was vital information you needed to process immediately.
âThat explains it,â you muttered.
He huffed a small laugh again, shaking his head slightly.
His smile lingered for a second, but then it softened into something more attentive.
He looked at you properly again, like he was reassessing how steady you actually were.
âYouâre⊠definitely a bit drunk, yeah?â he said gently, not accusing, just observing.
You squinted at him like that was a deeply offensive question.
âIâm not a bit drunk,â you said very seriously. Then paused. âOkay maybe I am a little bit drunk.â
That made him laugh quietly again, but it faded fast as he glanced toward the door, then back at you.
His tone shifted into something more practical.
âHey,â he said softly, âcan I get you an Uber? Just so you can get home safe?â
Your face changed immediately.
Like the idea itself physically collided with something else inside you.
You shook your head fast.
âNo,â you said, too quickly. Then more gently, but still firm. âNo, no, you canât.â
He paused. âWhy not?â
You looked at him like the answer should be obvious.
âBecause youâre literally an angel,â you said, like it was fact. âAnd I already barged in your room, cried and vented to you when Iâm a stranger to you.â
His expression softened at that, like he was trying to figure out where your brain was taking you next.
âThatâs⊠not a problem,â he said gently.
But you were already shaking your head again, more emotional now than joking.
âI just-â your voice wobbled, âI canât accept an Uber from you. That feels illegal. Like morally. Or spiritually.â
That got another quiet laugh out of him, but it faded quickly as he watched you more closely again.
You swallowed, the humor slipping again as reality crept back in.
âAnd I donât want to go home,â you added, quieter. âI really donât.â
His face changed.
âOkay,â he said softly. âThen letâs save that conversation for later.â
You blinked at him like you werenât sure you heard that correctly.
He nodded once, steady.
âBut we also need to make sure youâre safe,â he added, voice calm but firm in a gentle way. âDo you have anyone else you trust? Anyone at all?â
You opened your mouth.
Closed it.
Then let out a small, broken laugh that didnât have any humor in it.
âNo,â you said honestly.Â
That word hung in the air again, heavier this time because neither of you brushed past them.
âAlright,â he said after a pause. âThen we figure it out here. Okay?â
You stared at him.
Still teary. Still drunk. Still completely overwhelmed.
And then, very suddenly, your brain decided to latch onto something completely different again like a lifeline.
âYouâre so calm,â you said, squinting at him. âLike⊠why are you this calm? Are you always like this? Is this a personality trait or are you just secretly not real?â
That caught him off guard again.
He let out a surprised laugh, shaking his head.
âIâm real,â he said.
You narrowed your eyes at him.
âI donât believe you.â
That made him laugh properly this time, brighter, before he leaned back slightly against the floor.
âYouâre very⊠intense when youâre drunk,â he said gently.
âIâm intense when Iâm sober too,â you informed him very seriously.
âNoted,â he said, still smiling.
The quiet stretched for a second, comfortable in a strange, unfamiliar way.
And then it hit you.
Your eyes widened slightly.
âOh my god,â you muttered, sitting up a little straighter despite the dizziness. âIâve been talking this whole time and I didnât even tell you my name.â
He blinked, like he hadnât even noticed, or hadnât cared.
You pressed your lips together, suddenly feeling awkward in a completely different way.
âIâm-â you started, then gave a small, sheepish laugh. âIâm sorry, thatâs so rude. I gave you my whole villain origin story and didnât even bother to give you my name.â
You told him your name, voice softer now, a little embarrassed.
He repeated it back, like he was making sure he got it right, and something about that, about the way he actually paid attention, made your chest feel weirdly tight again.
âIâm Felix.â
You nodded, like this made the whole situation more real.
Like this wasnât just some random moment youâd imagined.
There was a pause.
You hesitated.
Then, before you could overthink it too much,Â
âCan I get your number?â
You immediately paused.
âWait- okay, that sounded⊠hold on,â you fumbled, hands moving slightly as if you could physically fix what you just said. âI donât mean it like that. Not like- that.â
Your face flushed, heat rising all the way up your neck.
âI just-â you exhaled, trying to gather your thoughts. âI know youâre a stranger, which makes this worse, but also youâre like⊠the only nice person- or person in general that Iâve talked to in a long time and I donât have- like⊠a support system, I guess? And I have a boyfriend- well, technically- and Iâm not trying to hit on you or anything because that would be weird and also morally questionable and-â
âHey-â
He cut you off gently, but quickly, before you could spiral any further.
You froze mid-ramble.
âI get it,â he said simply.
Your mouth snapped shut.
You blinked at him.
âOh.â
He gave you a small nod, already reaching his hand out.
âCan I?â he asked, gesturing lightly toward your phone.
You handed it to him without thinking.
He typed his number in, movements easy, like this wasnât a big deal to him at all.
Like you werenât a burden for asking.
He handed it back.
âThere,â he said.
You stared at your phone for a second after he handed it back, as if you werenât convinced he was actually going to give it to you.
Then, somehow, after that the conversation just⊠kept going.
Just you talking.
At first it was still heavy, pieces of your relationship slipping out in uneven chunks, stories you hadnât said out loud before, things you didnât even realize youâd been holding onto until they were suddenly in the air between you. He didnât interrupt. Didnât rush you. He just listened, nodding sometimes, asking small, careful questions when it felt right.
And then, slowly, without you noticing exactly when it happened, it shifted.
Your tone got lighter.
You started rambling about random things, your old friends, little memories, things you used to like before everything got⊠smaller. You laughed at your own stories sometimes, even if it ended in a quiet sigh.
At one point you caught yourself mid-sentence.
âIâm talking a lot,â you said, blinking at him.
He shook his head immediately.
âItâs okay,â he said. âI donât mind.â
So you kept going.
Words spilling out easier now, like once the dam broke, everything behind it followed. It wasnât graceful. It wasnât organized. But it was honest.
And he stayed.
The whole time.
At some point, the music outside faded. The house got quieter. Voices disappeared one by one until it was just distant creaks and the occasional muffled laugh from somewhere far off.
You hadnât even noticed how late it had gotten until you yawned mid-sentence.
Felix glanced toward the door, then back at you.
âItâs really late,â he said softly. âHow are you feeling?â
You blinked, trying to assess yourself.
âTired,â you admitted. âLess⊠everything. But still tired.â
He nodded.
âOkay,â he said. âI can take you home.â
You hesitated for half a second, but it didnât feel like the same kind of hesitation as before.
âIâll just make sure you get in safe,â he added quickly, like he could see that thought cross your face. âI wonât leave until youâre inside.â
That made something in your chest ease just enough.
ââŠokay,â you said quietly.
ïž”âżïž”âżàšâĄà§âżïž”âżïž”
You woke up to the wrong kind of silence.
Not the calm kind.
Your head throbbed before your eyes even fully opened, a dull, heavy ache pressing behind your forehead. Everything felt too bright, too close, too real. You shifted slightly, expecting empty space beside you.
Instead, there was weight in the room.
You turned your head slowly.
And froze.
He was there.
Sitting at the edge of your bed like he belonged there. Like he always had. Your phone was in his hand.
Your stomach dropped so hard it felt like you were still falling.
âWhat are you doing?â you rasped, your voice rough from sleep and last night still clinging to your skin.
He didnât even look guilty.
Didnât even look surprised you were awake.
Just annoyed.
âWho the hell is Felix?â he snapped immediately, holding your phone up slightly like evidence in a case you didnât know you were on trial for. âHuh? You think I wouldnât see this?â
Your brain lagged for a second, trying to catch up through the hangover fog.
Felix.
The name landed slowly.
Last night. The room. The crying. The way someone had actually stayed. The way you hadnât felt like you were being judged for once.
Your throat tightened.
âHeâs just-â you started, but your voice came out weaker than you wanted.
âJust what?â he cut in, standing now. âBecause it looks like you were out getting drunk and meeting random guys behind my back.â
âI wasnât-â you tried again.
He scoffed.
âOh please. Donât start.â
He tapped your phone screen, already going through it like it was his right. Your messages, your contact list, no hesitation, no permission, just entitlement.
You pushed yourself up slightly, head pounding.
âStop,â you said, sharper now. âPut my phone down.â
He ignored you.
Then, right in front of you, he deleted the contact.
Gone. Just like that.
Something in your chest cracked, small and sharp and immediate.
It wasnât even logical, it was barely a memory, barely a night, but it hurt in a way you couldnât explain. Like the only person who had been gentle with you in a long time had just been erased on purpose.
You stared at him.
Your usual reflex kicked in.
Apologize. Soften it. Fix it. Smooth it over.
But your mouth didnât move.
Your head hurt too much. Your body felt too tired. And something deeper, something quieter, just⊠stopped.
âIâm done,â you said.
Flat. Deadpan.
No rise. No fall. Just fact.
He froze.
For a second, it was like his brain didnât process the words.
âWhat?â he said, slower now.
âIâm done,â you repeated.
Thatâs when his expression changed.
Confusion first.
Then disbelief.
Then anger, sharp and immediate.
âOh, so thereâs really something with you and this guy?â he snapped. âThatâs what this is? You meet some random dude once and suddenly youâre acting like youâre hot fucking shit?â
Your chest tightened again. You didnât wanna do this again.
Every time he twisted reality. Every time you ended up apologizing for things you didnât do. Every time you shrank yourself smaller just to keep him calm.
And now he was standing there trying to steal even this, this one night where you werenât miserable.
Your voice wavered.
âYou donât get to talk about me like that,â you said quietly.
That made him scoff again.
âOh my god, listen to you.â
Something in you snapped.
âStop talking,â you said suddenly, louder.
Your head pounded, but you didnât care anymore.
âYou donât get to come in here and go through my phone and delete people and act like Iâm the problem every time I breathe wrong,â you said, voice shaking now but rising anyway. âI am so tired of you.â
He opened his mouth to interrupt. You didnât let him.
âNo,â you said, stepping forward now despite the dizziness. âYou listen for once. Iâm done. Iâm done with you controlling everything I do, Iâm done with you isolating me, Iâm done with you acting like Iâm crazy every time I notice something is wrong.â
Your eyes burned.
But you didnât stop.
âIâm not fixing this anymore,â you said. âIâm not apologizing. Iâm not begging. Iâm done.â
For the first time, he looked like he didnât know what to do.
Anger flickered again, but underneath it, something else. Fear.
âYouâre seriously choosing this?â he said, voice lower now. âOver me? Over some guy you barely know?â
That was it. The last thread.
You let out a shaky breath, tears finally spilling, but your voice didnât break this time.
âNo,â you said. âIâm choosing me.â
Silence held for a second too long.
Then he scoffed.
âYou?â he said, almost laughing. âYouâre choosing you?â
Your stomach tightened, but you didnât step back. He shook his head like you were something disappointing.
âYouâre acting like youâve been some victim this whole time,â he added, voice rising again. âLike I didnât do everything for you. Like I didnât-â
âYou didnât do everything for me,â you cut in, quieter now, but steadier. âYou did everything for you.â
That landed. You saw it in his face, the flicker, the irritation sharpening into something meaner.
You swallowed, voice cracking slightly but continuing anyway.
âYouâve been hurting me for a long time,â you said. âAnd every time I tried to say it, you made it about you. Every time I was upset, I ended up apologizing. Iâm not doing that anymore.â
A pause.
Your hands were shaking now, but you kept them down by your sides.
âIâm done,â you repeated again, like you needed your own brain to believe it. âThis is it.â
For a second, he just stared at you.
Then he let out a cold laugh.
âAlright,â he said, nodding slowly like he was done entertaining this. âFine. Do whatever you want then.â
He grabbed his things abruptly, movements sharp, controlled anger leaking through every step.
âYouâll come back,â he muttered as he headed toward the door. âYou always do.â
You didnât answer. You couldnât.
Your throat felt locked tight.
The door shut behind him harder than necessary.
Everything was silent.
ïž”âżïž”âżàšâĄà§âżïž”âżïž”
You had no idea how long you cried for. Time stopped making sense, dissolving into a blurry haze of shaking breaths, damp sheets, and that heavy ache in your chest that refused to loosen no matter how tightly you curled into yourself. Your throat burned. Your eyes stung. Even your thoughts felt scraped raw.
Eventually the sobs quieted into something emptier, not peace, just exhaustion so deep your mind didnât know where to go anymore.
You reached for your phone out of pure habit, fingers moving before your brain caught up. Then you froze.
Felix.
The name hit you all at once. You sat up slowly, wiping your face with your sleeve, and opened your contacts with a sinking heart.
Gone. Deleted.
Of course he did. Of course he took that too.
Your hands dropped into your lap. For a long while you just sat there, blank and hollow, staring at nothing. You wanted to talk to someone, anyone, but there was no one left. That small, safe space from last night where someone had actually listened, had stayed without trying to fix or control you⊠it was gone.
The ache in your chest deepened into something tired and dull. Night fell without you noticing, the room gradually darkening around you. You were half-curled on the bed, lost in the heavy quiet, when a soft knock broke the silence.
You froze.
Another knock followed, a little more certain this time.
Your heart stuttered. Legs heavy, you pushed yourself up and padded to the door, peering through the peephole without really thinking.
Felix.
He was really standing there, shifting his weight nervously, long blonde hair catching the hallway light. When you cracked the door open, his eyes met yours and his whole face softened instantly, brows drawing together in gentle concern.
âHeyâŠâ he said, voice warm and a little uncertain, that deep Australian accent wrapping around the word like a hug. âI know this is probably really weird.â
You could only stare.
He let out a small, awkward laugh and rubbed the back of his neck, cheeks tinting just a touch pink. âI tried calling, but it wouldnât go through. I was worried about you. You gave me your address last night, so I⊠yeah. I just wanted to check if you were okay.â
Your mouth opened, but nothing came out.
Felixâs gaze swept over you: swollen eyes, exhausted face, the way you were barely holding yourself together, and his expression melted into something even softer, almost protective. He took half a step closer but stopped himself, clearly not wanting to overwhelm you.
ââŠAre you okay?â he asked, quieter now, tilting his head slightly like a worried puppy.
The feeling was overwhelming.
You pulled the door open fully and stepped forward without thinking, wrapping your arms around him.
He stiffened for half a second in surprise, then immediately softened.
One arm came up carefully, instinctively, holding you steady like he understood without needing explanation.
And you broke. Again.
You both eventually made it all the way in the apartment, he let you cry for a moment longer, you recounted what happened, and he did what he did then, listened.
Even after the crying slows, even after Felix gently guides you to sit on the edge of your bed again, thereâs this strange aftershock in your body, like everything in you has been shaken loose and hasnât settled back into place yet.
Felix sits nearby, not too close, just close enough that you know heâs there if you need him. The apartment is quiet now, not tense anymore, just peacefully still.
At some point you stop talking. The last words drift away and neither of you rushes to fill the silence. Felix doesnât try to fix anything or push for more details. He just sits with you in it, patient and steady in a way that feels almost foreign.
Your breathing slowly evens out.
Then you look at him. Really look.
With the worst of the storm finally easing, you notice things you hadnât before: the way his soft blond hair falls gently into his eyes, the freckles scattered across his cheeks like they were placed there on purpose, and the calm way he holds himself, like nothing about you, no matter how messy, is too much for him to handle.
It hits you suddenly how close he is. How real he is.
Your chest feels strange again, but not with pain this time. Itâs more disorienting, warmer. Your thoughts are slow and foggy, still tangled from everything that happened, and when Felix speaks, something soft about whether you need water, it barely registers.
You just keep staring.
His mouth moves gently as he talks, his expression shifting with quiet thoughtfulness. Everything about him feels so gentle, even when heâs simply existing in the silence. The way he watches you with those kind eyes, the small, reassuring tilt of his head⊠itâs like heâs silently saying âIâve got youâ without needing words.
And something in your body reacts before your brain can catch up.
It starts subtle, a quiet flutter low in your stomach, a warmth spreading under your skin that doesnât have a name yet. Not a clear thought, just a feeling. A pull. Something that makes your pulse quicken and your fingers twitch restlessly in your lap.
Felix notices the way youâre looking at him. A soft, shy little smile tugs at his lips, the kind that makes the corners of his eyes crinkle warmly. He rubs the back of his neck with one hand, a bashful habit, and lets out a quiet, gentle laugh under his breath.
âYouâre staring,â he murmurs, voice low and fond. âEverything okay?â
He doesnât sound worried, just sweetly concerned, like heâd happily sit here all night if it helped you feel even a little bit steadier.
Your heartbeat starts to feel louder than it should, like itâs suddenly become aware of itself. Each beat feels a little too present, a little too noticeable in the quiet room.
Felix is still speaking softly, something about you resting, but itâs like the sound is slightly behind glass. Youâre aware of it, but not fully processing it.
Because your attention keeps drifting back to him. To the way heâs sitting there so naturally close, without pressure, without expectation. You notice things you didnât before.
The faint scent of him; clean, soft, something warm underneath it that makes your head feel a little lighter in a way you donât expect. Not overwhelming. Just⊠there.
His presence feels steady in a way your body seems to lean toward without asking permission.
It confuses you.
Because your mind is still tangled in everything from earlier; the crying, the breakup, the fear, but your body is reacting to something entirely different.
Felix shifts slightly, adjusting his position, and your eyes track it automatically.
He notices.
âHey,â he says again, quieter now. âYouâre staring again.â
That makes you blink, like youâve been pulled back into yourself for a second.
âOh,â you say softly, almost embarrassed. âSorry.â
But you donât look away immediately. Your chest still feels tight, but not in pain anymore. Itâs something more complicated. Unfamiliar.
Youâre suddenly hyper-aware of how close he is again. How the space between you feels smaller than it did before. How easy it is to notice the warmth of him just being there.
Felix doesnât move closer. Doesnât take advantage of the silence. He just watches you carefully, like heâs trying to make sure youâre still grounded.
âYouâre okay,â he says gently. âYou donât have to do anything right now.â
That steadiness in his voice should soothe you. It always has, in the short time youâve known him. But tonight it does the opposite, it loosens something deep in your chest while making every other feeling burn hotter, sharper, more impossible to ignore.
Your thoughts feel slow. Foggy. Like your brain has finally given up trying to sort through the wreckage of the day and is just⊠floating.Â
Everything inside you is too much and not enough at the same time. The leftover ache from crying. The sharp, humiliating echo of your exâs voice. The quiet relief of Felix still being here. And underneath it all, a new, liquid heat pooling low in your belly that you havenât felt in so long it almost scares you.
You donât want to think anymore.
You donât want to analyze why your body is reacting like this, or whether itâs too soon, or what it says about you that the first gentle person to show up has you trembling for entirely different reasons now.
You just want to feel.
Your fingers twitch again in your lap, restless and restless. Felix notices immediately, the way he seems to notice everything. His expression softens even more, those freckles shifting with the small tilt of his head.
âYouâre still shaking a bit,â he murmurs, voice low and warm, that deep Australian accent wrapping around the words like velvet. âDo you want me to get you something? Or should I just stay here?â
The question is simple. But it lands heavy in the quiet room.
You swallow, throat tight. Your eyes trace the line of his jaw, the soft fall of blonde hair against his forehead, the careful way he keeps his hands relaxed on his thighs even though you can feel the attention radiating off him. Heâs so close. Close enough that you can smell the faint clean scent of him, something warm and a little sweet, like vanilla and skin after a shower.
âI donâtâŠâ Your voice comes out smaller than you mean it to, a little hoarse from all the earlier tears. âI donât want water. I donât want you to leave.â
You shift on the edge of the bed, knees brushing his accidentally. The contact sends a spark racing up your thigh, bright and electric.Â
Felix stays perfectly still, but you see the way his shoulders tighten just a fraction, not pulling away, just⊠aware. His dark eyes search your face, patient, waiting for you to finish the thought.
âI just-â You let out a shaky laugh that sounds more like a sigh. âEverything hurts. My head. My chest. And Iâm so tired of hurting, Felix. I donât want to think about him anymore. I donât want to think at all.â
Your hand moves before you can second guess it, sliding slowly across the small space between you until your fingertips graze the back of his hand. His skin is warm. Steady. You trace one light circle there, almost absentmindedly, and feel the way his breath changes.
Felix doesnât pull away, but he doesnât move closer either. He just watches your fingers with quiet curiosity, that small tilt of his head making his blonde hair fall softly across one eye.
âWhy are you still here?â you whisper, the question slipping out before you can stop it. Your voice cracks a little at the end. âIâve done nothing but cry to you⊠twice now. You donât even know me. Not really.â
He blinks, clearly caught off guard by the shift. His thumb brushes lightly over your knuckles, instinctive, soothing. âBecause you needed someone,â he says simply, like itâs the most obvious thing in the world. âAnd I didnât want to leave you alone like that.â
That answer should feel kind. It does. But it also makes the heat low in your stomach twist tighter, sharper. You donât understand why your body is reacting like this, why the gentle stroke of his thumb is suddenly making your pulse throb between your legs, why just the low rumble of his voice is making your thighs press together without permission. Itâs confusing. Embarrassing. You barely know him, and yetâŠ
You swallow hard, eyes dropping to where your fingers are still touching his. âItâs⊠itâs making me feel things I shouldnât be feeling right now,â you admit shyly, barely louder than a breath. Your cheeks burn. âI donât know why. My brain is all foggy and my body is just⊠itâs confusing me.â
Felixâs brow furrows slightly, concern flickering across his face. Heâs still not quite catching on, still thinking this is about the breakup, the exhaustion, the leftover tears. âHey, thatâs normal after everything youâve been through today,â he says gently, voice deep and careful. âEmotions get all tangled up. You donât have to figure it out tonight.â
But you shake your head, the words tumbling out in a shaky rush. âNo, itâs⊠itâs not just that. I wanted support. Thatâs all I wanted. And now my stupid brain is ruining it, making everything feel⊠different. Making me want things I definitely shouldnât want from someone whoâs only been nice to me.â Your voice wavers, eyes stinging again. âYou should probably just leave. Iâm sorry. Iâm making this weird.â
You start to pull your hand back, suddenly mortified, but Felix catches it gently, not letting you retreat completely. His grip is loose, you could pull away if you really wanted to, but the warmth of his palm against yours sends another unwelcome spark racing through you.
âWait,â he says softly, searching your face. He still looks a little lost, like heâs trying to piece together what youâre not saying. âIâm not going anywhere unless you actually want me to. If somethingâs confusing you⊠let me help. Let me be a distraction, yeah? Whatever you need right now, talking, silence, whatever it is, Iâm here.â
The offer lands like a quiet shock. Your eyes widen, heart stuttering. Thereâs no way he means it. He doesnât fully understand what youâre feeling, not yet, but heâs offering anyway. No pressure. Just that steady, patient presence.
You let out a small, nervous laugh despite the butterflies exploding in your stomach. âA distraction,â you repeat, the word sounding far too intimate on your tongue. âThat sounds dangerous when you say it like that.â
Felixâs eyes sharpen just a fraction, dark, captivating, the kind of gaze that makes you shiver even though heâs barely moved. Thereâs a new awareness there now, like heâs starting to read between the lines of your shy rambling. His lips curve into the smallest, softest smile, but his voice stays low and calm.
âDangerous how?â he asks gently, thumb still tracing slow, soothing circles on the back of your hand. He doesnât push. He just waits, giving you all the space in the world to decide what comes next.
You bite your lip, pulse racing. The heat in your belly has only grown heavier, warmer, more insistent, and you still donât know why your body is betraying you like this. Part of you wants to hide. Part of you wants him closer. The contradiction makes your head spin.
âLike⊠I donât know if this is a good idea,â you whisper, honest and trembling.
Felix doesnât look away. His thumb keeps up those slow, steady circles on the back of your hand, grounding and maddening all at once. For a long moment he just studies you, dark eyes soft but focused, like heâs weighing every small tremble in your voice and every nervous flutter of your lashes.
Then he leans in just a fraction closer, voice dropping even lower, that rich Australian accent curling around the words like warm smoke.
âIf you want to use me for this⊠if letting go for a minute, if letting me distract you, will settle that storm in your head even a littleâŠâ He pauses, giving you time to breathe, to pull away. âThen Iâll do it. No questions. No expectations after. Just whatever you need right now.â
The offer sinks into you like honey and gasoline at the same time.
Your breath catches hard. The contradiction is dizzying, part of you screaming that this is too fast, too soon, too dangerous after everything that just happened today. The other part, the one thatâs been starved for gentle touch and genuine care, is leaning toward him like a flower toward sunlight.
An angel or temptation from hell?
Right now it feels like both.
You let out a shaky, disbelieving laugh that borders on a whimper. âFelix⊠you canât just say things like that.â Your voice cracks, shy and overwhelmed. âI barely know you and youâre offering to⊠to do that?â
Your free hand twists in the fabric of your shirt, knuckles tight. The tug-of-war inside your chest is brutal; no, this is wrong, you just got out of a toxic relationship, youâre emotional and raw and half-drunk on exhaustion; yes, please, touch me, make the noise in my head stop, make me feel something good for once.
âI⊠I donât know,â you whisper again, eyes flicking up to meet his. His gaze is steady, patient, but thereâs a new depth there now, a quiet intensity that makes another shiver roll down your spine.
The silence stretches for a heartbeat, then another. Your mind is spinning faster now, clarity cutting through the fog even as your body burns hotter.
This wonât fix anything.
Itâs just a temporary bandage, a sweet, dangerous distraction that will probably leave you even more tangled and confused tomorrow. Youâll still have to face the breakup. Youâll still have to deal with the emptiness your ex left behind. And now youâll have the memory of Felixâs hands and voice layered on top of all that mess, making everything more complicated.
Guilt twists sharp and sudden in your chest. This is too soon. Youâre raw, vulnerable, and using a kind stranger to numb the pain feels selfish. Wrong, even.
But the other voice, quieter, hungrier, the one thatâs been starving for so long whispers that you deserve this. Just one night. Just a moment where someone touches you because they want to make you feel good, not because they want to control you or take from you.
You want to take a bite out of the poison apple.
You want the devil on your shoulder to win tonight.
Your breath trembles as you finally speak, voice barely above a whisper.
ââŠOkay.â
The single word feels huge. It hangs between you like something fragile and electric.
Felixâs eyes search yours carefully, giving you one last chance to take it back. When you donât, he nods slowly, something soft and almost reverent crossing his face.
He hesitates for just a second, like heâs still making sure this is really what you want, then lifts his free hand. His fingers brush lightly up the outside of your arm, slow and deliberate, barely more than a whisper of contact. The warmth of his palm trails over your skin, raising goosebumps in its wake. He stops at your shoulder, thumb stroking gently along the curve there.
âIâll only do what you want me to do,â he murmurs, voice low and steady, that deep accent wrapping around every word like a promise. âWherever you want my hands⊠wherever you want my mouth⊠just tell me. Iâll oblige.â
His touch stays feather-light, patient, waiting for your direction. His eyes never leave your face, reading every small reaction, the way your lips part, the quick rise and fall of your chest, the way you unconsciously lean just a little closer to him.
The heat in your belly flares brighter at his words, slick and insistent. Your thighs press together again, a helpless little movement you canât quite hide. The guilt is still there, sharp and whispering, but itâs being drowned out by the overwhelming want flooding through you.
You swallow hard, suddenly shy all over again, cheeks burning as you try to find the words.
âI⊠I wouldnât know,â you admit quietly, voice shaky with nerves and need.Â
Felixâs eyes stay soft, but the smallest, warmest smile touches his lips. He doesnât laugh at your uncertainty. Instead, he leans in just a fraction closer, his thumb still drawing those slow, soothing circles on your shoulder.
âWeâll find out together,â he murmurs, voice deep and steady. âBut first⊠I need you to tell me what youâre sure you donât want. Set the firm lines. Anything that feels like too much right now, tell me. I wonât cross them.â
The request is so careful it makes your chest tighten in a different way. Even now, when youâve already said yes, heâs still checking, still making space for your limits. Itâs disorienting how safe that feels.
You bite your lip, thinking through the fog of heat and guilt swirling inside you. Kissing feels⊠big. Too intimate. Too close to something that could crack you open even more tonight.
âNo kissing,â you whisper, the words coming out softer than you expected. âOn the mouth, I mean.â
Felix nods immediately, no hesitation, no disappointment flickering across his face. He just accepts it like itâs the simplest thing in the world.
âOkay,â he says gently. âNo kissing.â
The words settle between you like a quiet promise. Felix watches you for another heartbeat, making sure the boundary feels real, then gives your hand a soft squeeze.
âCome here,â he murmurs, voice low. âLetâs get you comfortable.â
He helps guide you backward onto the bed with careful hands, never rushing, until your head rests against the pillows. The mattress dips as he follows, moving over you slowly so you can feel every inch of the shift in gravity. He settles on one elbow beside you, close enough that his body heat wraps around you like a blanket, but not so close that you feel pinned.
One hand hesitates at your hip, fingers brushing the hem of your shirt, then slides upward in a slow, exploratory path over your clothed torso. His palm is warm and broad, tracing the curve of your ribs with light pressure that makes your breath hitch. The other hand moves from your hip to your waist, sliding beneath the fabric just enough to rest skin to skin, fingers splaying wide to keep you grounded against the mattress.
His face hovers inches from your neck, breath warm and steady against your skin. He doesnât connect yet, but the closeness is devastating. His mouth is so near that every exhale ghosts over the sensitive spot just below your ear, sending slow, delicious shivers racing down your spine and straight between your legs.
Youâre surprised by how into it he seems already.
His breathing has grown heavier, deeper, like the air between you has thickened into something syrupy and charged. When he reaches up with his free hand to rake his long blond hair back from his face, tucking it behind his ear so nothing blocks his view of you, the simple motion feels unbearably intimate. The strands fall messily anyway, a few soft pieces brushing his cheek, but the way he does it, focused, almost hungry, makes the air feel heavier.
His mouth stays deliciously close to your neck, hovering, teasing without touching. The heat of his breath, the faint scent of him, the way his chest rises and falls a little faster now⊠itâs making you dizzy in the best and worst way. Your thighs press together helplessly, the ache between them growing slick and insistent.
You feel embarrassingly close to begging already.
The last fragile thread of hesitation snaps.
Your hands move before your mind can catch up, fingers curling tightly into the front of his shirt, gripping the soft fabric and pulling him closer with a needy tug. The sudden movement presses his body more firmly against yours, and the shift in mood is instant. The careful, gentle air thickens into something hotter, heavier, almost electric.
Nothing else exists anymore. Just Felix, his warmth, his breath, and the overwhelming need burning.
Felix lets out a low, surprised hum at the way you pull him in, but he doesnât resist. His hand on your torso slides higher, palm pressing more deliberately over your ribs as he finally closes the distance.
His mouth connects with your neck, soft at first, just the lightest press of lips against your pulse point. Then he grows bolder, placing slow, experimental open-mouthed kisses along the sensitive skin, warm and wet, each one lingering a little longer than the last. The feeling is devastating. Every kiss sends sparks racing straight down your body, making your back arch slightly off the bed.
He seems to like the way youâre reacting.
You can feel it in the way his breathing gets rougher, in the subtle shift of his hips against your thigh, in the quiet, appreciative sound he makes in the back of his throat when your fingers tighten harder in his shirt.
Encouraged, he opens his mouth wider on the next kiss, tongue barely brushing your skin, and then he takes a gentle, experimental bite just below your ear. Not hard enough to hurt, but firm enough to send a sharp, bright jolt of pleasure through you.
A sound escapes you, a broken, needy whimper that you didnât even know you could make. Itâs loud in the quiet room, raw and desperate, nothing like the quiet, restrained noises youâre used to making.
Both of you freeze for a heartbeat.
Felix pulls back just enough to look at your face, his blonde hair falling messily over one eye again, lips slightly parted and glistening. His dark eyes are wide with a mix of surprise and heat, pupils blown. The hand at your waist squeezes gently, grounding, while the one on your torso stills completely.
Your cheeks burn with embarrassment at the sound you just let out. Youâre breathing fast, chest rising and falling quickly under his palm.
Felixâs voice comes out rougher than before, low and a little breathless, that deep Australian accent thicker now.
âFuckâŠare you okay?â he asks, searching your eyes. His thumb strokes slow circles on your waist, still careful even as the air between you crackles with tension.
You donât answer with words at first.
Instead, a fresh wave of need crashes through you, making your whole body feel hypersensitive, every brush of his fingers, every warm exhale against your skin, every tiny shift of his weight sends sparks racing straight to your core. The embarrassment from that desperate whimper melts away the second you glance down and see the obvious bulge straining against the front of his pants.
Heâs hard. Really hard. And you havenât even properly touched him yet.
The realization sends a thrill through you, confidence blooming hot and sudden in your chest. Youâre doing this to him. Just your sounds, your reactions, the way youâre falling apart under his gentle mouth is enough to get him like this.
Your hands move with a new urgency, sliding down before you tug your own shirt up and off in one swift motion. The cool air hits your skin for only a second before you reach back and unhook your bra, letting it slide down your arms and drop somewhere beside the bed.
Felixâs reaction is immediate.
His pupils blow wide, dark and hungry, lips parting on a shaky inhale. A soft pink flush creeps across his cheeks and the tips of his ears, making his freckles stand out even more. He looks like heâs in a complete trance, eyes drinking in every inch of newly exposed skin like he canât believe this is real.
âShitâŠâ he breathes, voice hoarse and reverent. âYouâre⊠fuck, youâre beautiful.â
You donât give him time to overthink. Taking his wrist gently, you guide his hand up to your bare breast, pressing his warm palm against you. His fingers instinctively cup the soft weight, thumb brushing experimentally over your nipple. The touch is electric, your back arches into it with a soft gasp, nipples already tight and sensitive.
Felix lets out a low, stunned sound, almost a groan. His focus stays locked on you, eyes flicking between your face and your body like heâs trying to memorize every reaction. His other hand stays at your waist, holding you steady while his thumb circles your nipple slowly, then pinches lightly, testing what makes your breath hitch and your thighs press together.
âYouâre so sensitive,â he murmurs, voice thick with awe, that sweet blush still staining his face. âLook at you⊠responding so pretty for me.â
The air feels thicker now, hotter, every touch turning steamy and deliberate. His hand explores with growing confidence, squeezing gently, rolling your nipple between his fingers, then switching to the other breast to give it the same reverent attention. His mouth returns to your neck, placing wet, open-mouthed kisses and soft bites along your collarbone, working his way lower until his lips brush the swell of your breast.
He glances up at you through his messy blonde hair, eyes dark and pleading, silently asking for permission even as his tongue flicks out to taste your skin.
You donât have the words to answer, you just tighten your fingers in his hair and pull him closer.
Thatâs all the permission Felix needs.
His mouth closes over your nipple with a soft, wet heat that makes your back arch off the bed instantly. He starts slow, gentle licks, warm and deliberate, circling the sensitive peak before sucking it into his mouth with just the right amount of pressure. The sensation is overwhelming, a sharp jolt of pleasure that shoots straight between your legs.
You let out a broken moan, hips twitching helplessly as he switches to the other breast, giving it the same devoted attention. His tongue is relentless now, licking and flicking, then sucking harder, cheeks hollowing as he draws your nipple deeper into his mouth. Every pull sends sparks racing through your body, making your thighs shake and your core throb with empty need.
âFelixâŠâ you whimper, the name slipping out like a prayer. âFelix- pleaseâŠâ
Youâre quickly turning into an incoherent mess beneath him. Your hands fist tighter in his soft blonde hair, back arching desperately into his mouth as he alternates between slow, teasing licks and deep, hungry sucks. The wet sounds of his mouth on your skin fill the room, mixing with your ragged breathing and quiet, needy whines.
He groans softly against your breast, the vibration sending another wave of pleasure through you. His free hand keeps kneading the other side, thumb rolling your neglected nipple while his mouth works you over. Heâs completely lost in it, eyes half-lidded, that sweet blush still coloring his cheeks, completely focused on every sound you make and every twitch of your body.
It starts to hurt in the best way. The ache between your legs is unbearable now, slick, swollen, and pulsing with no relief. Every suck and lick only makes the emptiness worse.
âFelix- please,â you beg, voice cracking, hips rolling up against nothing. âIt hurts⊠I need- I need you to touch me. Please, I canât- ah- pleaseâŠâ
Your words dissolve into another whimper as he sucks particularly hard, tongue flicking rapidly over your nipple before he pulls back just enough to look at you. His lips are swollen and glistening, eyes dark with heat but still so gentle underneath it all.
His lips are swollen and glistening, eyes dark with heat but still so gentle underneath it all.
âWhere do you want me?â he asks, voice rough and breathless, that deep Australian accent thicker than ever. His hand slides slowly down your stomach, fingertips brushing just above the waistband of your pants, waiting for your answer. âTell me, love. Iâll give you anything you need.â
Youâre too far gone to be shy anymore.
Your hand flies down, grabbing his wrist and guiding him lower, pressing his palm firmly between your legs over your pants. The heat of his hand alone makes you moan, hips bucking up into the touch desperately.
âThere- please, Felix, right there,â you gasp, voice breaking. âIâm so wet⊠it hurts. Touch me. Please.â
Felixâs breath catches sharply. For a split second his eyes widen, that sweet blush deepening across his cheeks, but the surprise quickly melts into something darker, hungrier. He doesnât hesitate.
He cups you fully through your pants, pressing the heel of his palm against your clit with just enough pressure to make your back arch violently off the bed. A broken cry escapes you as he starts rubbing slow, firm circles, the fabric dragging deliciously against your swollen, soaked folds.
âFuck⊠you really are soaked,â he murmurs, voice low and awed. He leans down again, mouth latching onto your nipple once more, sucking hard while his hand works between your legs with growing confidence. âAll this for me? Just from my mouth?â
You can only nod frantically, incoherent whimpers spilling from your lips as he increases the pressure, grinding the heel of his palm against your clit while his fingers press along your slit through the damp fabric. Every stroke sends sharp waves of pleasure crashing through you, making your thighs tremble and your hips chase his hand desperately.
The line is definitely being crossed now, fast and intense.
Felix shifts lower, kissing and biting down your stomach as he goes, his free hand quickly unbuttoning your pants and tugging the zipper down. He doesnât pull them off completely yet, he just slides his hand inside, past the waistband of your panties, until his fingers finally meet your bare, dripping heat.
The first direct touch makes you both moan.
âShit, youâre dripping,â he groans against your skin, voice thick with disbelief and lust. His fingers glide through your slick folds, circling your clit with perfect pressure before dipping lower to tease your entrance. âSo warm⊠so fucking wet for me.â
He pushes one finger inside you slowly, carefully, curling it gently as his thumb keeps working your clit in tight, steady circles. The stretch is perfect, the relief immediate, but it only makes you need more.
Youâre writhing beneath him now, one hand tangled in his messy blonde hair, the other gripping his shoulder hard enough to leave marks. His name falls from your lips like a chant; âFelix, Felix, please-â, louder and more desperate with every thrust of his finger.
Itâs dizzying.
You havenât felt this much pleasure in so long that it almost overwhelms you. Every curl of his finger, every stroke of his thumb sends sparks shooting through your body, making your head spin and your vision blur at the edges. The sensation is almost too much, way too intense, too good, but you love it. You crave it. Your body has been starved for this kind of attentive touch for years, and now itâs drinking in every second like itâs dying of thirst.
Felix looks completely entranced.
His dark eyes are fixed on your face, drinking in every flutter of your lashes, every broken moan, every desperate roll of your hips. His cheeks are flushed deep pink, lips parted, breathing ragged as he watches you fall apart under his hand.
Without breaking eye contact, he shifts lower on the bed. His free hand hooks into the waistband of your pants and panties together and tugs them down your legs in one smooth motion, finally pulling them off completely and tossing them aside.
When he sees you, fully bare, glistening, and soaked for him, he actually freezes for a second. His gaze drops between your legs, pupils blown so wide his eyes look almost black. A soft, stunned sound escapes him, almost like a whimper.
âFuckâŠâ he breathes, voice hoarse and reverent.
He looks like heâs practically drooling, tongue darting out to wet his lips as he stares, completely mesmerized by the sight of your slick folds and the way your entrance clenches around nothing.
Before he can even form another thought, your fingers tighten in his soft blonde hair and you tug him down gently but firmly, guiding his face exactly where you need him.
Felixâs eyes go wide with surprise, a soft, startled âoh-â slipping from his lips. For half a second he looks almost shy, like he didnât expect you to be so bold. But the surprise quickly melts into pure, eager excitement. His breath hitches, and a bright, boyish smile flashes across his face for just a moment, sweet and hungry at the same time.
âYeah?â he whispers, voice rough with want but still so gentle. âYou want my mouth on you?â
He doesnât wait for a verbal answer. The second you nod, he settles between your thighs. His hands slide under your ass, lifting you slightly as he presses a slow, open-mouthed kiss right against your dripping core.
The first long, slow lick of his tongue makes your back arch sharply off the bed and a loud, broken moan tear from your throat.
Felix moans against you, the vibration shooting straight through your clit. Heâs enthusiastic and attentive, licking broad stripes through your folds before focusing on your clit, sucking it gently into his mouth while his tongue flicks in perfect little patterns. Heâs clearly loving every second, soft, happy sounds escaping him as he tastes you, eyes fluttering shut in bliss before opening again to watch your reactions.
He eats you out like heâs been waiting for this moment, like making you feel good is the only thing that matters in the world right now.
Your head is spinning even harder now, pleasure crashing over you in heavy waves. The dizziness mixes with pure ecstasy as Felixâs tongue works you over, slow and thorough one moment, then faster and more focused the next, completely lost in the taste of you and the sounds youâre making.
Heâs so into it.
Felix moans openly against your core, the sound low and happy, like he canât get enough of how you taste. His tongue laps at you with genuine hunger, broad, wet strokes through your slick folds, then circling your clit before sucking it back into his mouth with perfect, rhythmic pressure. Every soft, pleased hum that vibrates against you tells you heâs loving this just as much as you are.
Without even thinking about it, like itâs the most natural thing in the world, he slides two fingers back inside you. The stretch is sudden and perfect, curling immediately against that sensitive spot deep inside while his tongue keeps working your clit in tight, relentless circles.
The combination nearly sends you over the edge right there.
A sharp, broken cry rips from your throat as the pleasure spikes hard and fast. Your hips buck against his face, thighs trembling around his head. The intensity is almost too much, dizzying waves of heat rolling through you, building so quickly you can barely breathe.
Your hand tightens in his soft blonde hair, tugging harder than you meant to as your body jerks with overwhelming sensation.
The tug pulls a delicious, guttural moan from Felix. The sound vibrates straight against your clit, deep and needy, making your walls clench hard around his fingers. He doesnât pull away. If anything, the hair tug seems to spur him on, his fingers thrust a little deeper, curling perfectly with every stroke, while his tongue flicks faster over your swollen clit.
Itâs too much.
The coil in your belly snaps without warning.
You come hard, a sharp, broken cry tearing from your throat as the orgasm crashes over you in blinding waves. Your back arches violently off the bed, thighs clamping around his head as your walls flutter and pulse around his fingers. Pleasure explodes through every nerve, white-hot and overwhelming, unlike anything youâve ever felt before.
Itâs not just release, itâs pure, shattering ecstasy. Years of feeling nothing, of lying there disconnected and unsatisfied, are obliterated in seconds. Your whole body shakes, hips jerking against his mouth as you ride the high, slick heat flooding his tongue.
Felix doesnât stop.
He stays right there, completely lost in a trance, like he physically canât pull himself away from you. His fingers keep thrusting slowly through every spasm, curling against that perfect spot to drag the orgasm out longer. His tongue never leaves your clit, licking slower now, but still hungry, still devoted, tasting every drop of you as you come undone.
He moans loudly against your core, the vibrations prolonging the aftershocks, eyes fluttering shut in bliss as he drinks you in. Soft, happy, almost greedy sounds escape him while he works you through it, savoring the way you tremble and clench around him.
Youâre gasping, whimpering, completely overwhelmed. The pleasure keeps rolling through you in long, powerful waves, far more intense and drawn-out than anything your body has ever experienced. Tears prick at the corners of your eyes from the sheer intensity of it. Your fingers stay tangled tight in his blonde hair, holding him there as your hips twitch with every lingering lick.
Felix finally slows only when your trembling starts to ease, but even then he doesnât pull away completely. He presses one last, slow, open-mouthed kiss to your oversensitive clit, then gently slides his fingers out of you, replacing them with soft, soothing licks to help you come down.
When he finally lifts his head, his lips and chin are glistening with you, cheeks flushed deep red, eyes dark and hazy with lust. His messy blonde hair is even more tousled from your grip. He looks drunk on you; breathing hard, that sweet, boyish smile tugging at his wet lips even through the heat.
Youâre completely fucked out.
Your body feels heavy and boneless, every limb buzzing with lingering pleasure. Your head is fuzzy and dizzy, like youâre floating in warm honey. Tears have built up in your eyes from the sheer intensity of it all, a few slipping down your temples as you try to catch your breath. Youâve never come that hard, never felt anything even close to this overwhelming wave of pleasure. Itâs left you dazed, overwhelmed in the best way.
Felixâs expression shifts the second he really looks at you.
The hazy lust softens into gentle concern. His eyes widen slightly, that sweet, worried look crossing his face as he quickly moves up the bed, hovering over you without putting any weight on your body. One hand comes up to gently cup your cheek, thumb brushing away a stray tear with incredible tenderness.
âHey⊠hey,â he murmurs, voice still a little rough but now wrapped in soft worry. âAre you okay? Did I go too far? Youâre crying-â
You shake your head hazily, a small, breathless smile tugging at your lips even though your thoughts are still fuzzy and slow.
âNo⊠it was perfect,â you whisper, voice hoarse and trembling. âIâve never felt anything like that.â
Relief washes over his face, but the concern doesnât fully leave.Â
Before you can even think about it, habit kicks in. You start to push yourself up on shaky arms, instinctively moving to clean up like you always had to before.Â
Felix stops you immediately, one gentle hand on your shoulder guiding you back down onto the pillows. He looks almost offended, brows furrowing in that adorable, protective way.
âWhoa, where do you think youâre going?â he says softly, that deep Australian accent warm and firm at the same time. âNo, no, no. Lie back down. Thatâs my job.â
He shifts beside you, one arm sliding carefully under your shoulders to pull you against his chest. His free hand reaches for the tissues on the nightstand, but he doesnât hand them to you. Instead, he gently wipes your thighs and between your legs himself, slow, careful strokes, making sure youâre comfortable without a single hint of impatience.
âYou donât have to do anything right now,â he murmurs, his voice so gentle it makes your chest ache in a different way. âYou just came really hard. Let me take care of you, yeah? Thatâs what I want to do.â
He finishes cleaning you up with the same devoted attention he gave when he was between your legs, then suddenly gets up.
You watch him through half-lidded, still-dizzy eyes, your body heavy and warm. A shy little thought bubbles up, and before you can overthink it, you murmur softly, voice still hoarse,
âDo you⊠need help too? OrâŠ?â
Felix pauses mid-step, his back to you for a second. He lets out a small, embarrassed laugh and rubs the back of his neck, that familiar bashful gesture.
âI alreadyâŠâ He stops himself mid-sentence, cheeks flushing even deeper than before. âAh, never mind.â
Curiosity wins. You push yourself up slightly on your elbows and glance down.
There it is, a very obvious wet spot darkening the front of his pants, the fabric clinging slightly to him. He came just from eating you out. No touching himself, no grinding against you, just from your taste, your sounds, and the way you fell apart on his tongue.
He clears his throat and gestures awkwardly toward the hallway.
âIâm gonna go clean up real quick. Stay right there, okay? Donât move.â
You nod, still floating in that fuzzy, post-orgasm glow, and watch him disappear into the bathroom.
Minutes pass. Longer than you expected for a quick cleanup. Youâre just starting to wonder if heâs okay when a delicious smell drifts into the room, warm, savory, comforting. Something frying, maybe garlic and butter?
The bathroom door opens again. Felix comes back wearing the sweatpants and black t-shirt that you stole from your brother and now lended him, hair still damp and messy from a quick rinse. In his hands heâs carrying a plate with scrambled eggs, toast, and some leftover takeout noodles he must have reheated. Thereâs even a glass of water and a small bowl of fruit on the side.
He looks a little shy as he approaches the bed, but his eyes are warm and caring again.
âI figured you might be hungry after⊠everything,â he says softly, sitting on the edge of the bed and setting the plate carefully on your lap. âYou havenât eaten much today, right? And crying plus⊠that⊠probably burned a lot of energy.â
He scratches the back of his neck again, cheeks still faintly pink.
âI know itâs not fancy, but itâs quick and warm. Eat as much as you want, yeah? Iâll get you more if you need it.â
He settles beside you, one hand gently rubbing your back in slow circles while you pick at the food. The smell is comforting, the gesture so unexpectedly sweet that it makes your chest feel tight in the best way.
Every bite tastes better than it should. The quiet clink of the fork, the steady warmth of his palm on your back, the way he occasionally glances at you to make sure youâre actually eating, it all feels so⊠safe.
Too safe.
You eat in comfortable silence for a while, but something heavy starts settling in your chest. This moment is perfect. Too perfect. The way heâs taking care of you, the soft smile he gives when you murmur a quiet âthank you,â the way his damp hair curls at the ends⊠youâre enjoying it more than you should.
He was only supposed to be the nice stranger who helped you through one bad night.
Not this.
Not someone who makes scrambled eggs at 2 a.m. and looks at you like youâre worth the trouble.
You swallow another bite, but it suddenly feels harder to get down. Your eyes flick to him again, to the gentle slope of his shoulders, the freckles across his nose, the way heâs still quietly rubbing your back like itâs the most natural thing in the world.
This canât last.
Tomorrow the real world will come back. The breakup. The loneliness. The fear that youâre too broken for anyone to actually want to stay. Felix was just being kind. He saw a girl crying in his room and did what any decent person would do.
Youâre already getting attached to something that was never meant to be yours.
