Helloo if I may ask can you do where kusuke makes a little device that removes saiki's x-ray vision and seeing that the reader is pretty?
Pls say yes AND thanks for reading my request beautiful person that i adore đ.
:3
This was a thought that once occurred in my head; whether I can verbalize my thoughts and write them down is another can of worms.
tiny drabble, may expand on this one, tbh. Not proofread đ (none of my works are)
Kusuo knew opening packages from his brother was a mistakeâthough his mother insisted. Good grief.
He half expected some weird prototype, or even some freaky gag giftâthe usual. What did he find? New glasses and antennas, which was odd. His glasses worked fine, maybe it was some sort of prank? His antennae was quite fine as well.
âTo my dear little brother,â
âI write and deliver to you, my newest prototype! I wish you enjoy my latest findings, and thank me for them. You must use the new set together, you cannot mix and match them!â
âWarm Regards,â
âS.Kâ
Just how annoying could his brother get?
With gentle precaution, Kusuo replaced his glasses and antennas. He didnât notice any initial difference. Maybe it was some sort of prank? Would he feel a shock? Would he realize that kusuke is monitoring him now? All questions were answered when his father entered. How strange, he wasnât muscle and tissueâŚbut rather his father. Kusuoâs eyes widened by a small margin.
âKu, your friend is downstairs, theyâre here to see you.â
It was you, you were the only one his mother let in without calling him down first. Perhaps his mother sent his father as a messenger. He merely nodded, he didnât need his father pestering him with his newfound sight. With his normal, silent grace, he followed his father halfway before she deviated to be in her room.
Nothing could prepare him for the first sight of someone that wasnât his family. What words could he use? He never used beautiful, handsome, striking, cute, or pretty to describe an organismâŚso how could he describe you? How do you attribute pretty and cute properly? Sure, heâs seen photos of people, more or less skin, with or without his consent, but theyâre not physical. You there and three dimensional. How could words describe you? Skin and eyelashes. Smile lines and crinkled eye corners. Pores and color. Your picture and your personality. Is this how attraction felt? Is this how boys felt when Teruhashi walked by?
No, it couldnât be. You were the real thing, to him you would be the only real thing.
Very light fake plastic trees mention!!!
suo lets you scream and rage at him as he watches, patiently, one ankle resting atop his knee. when youâre done, he spreads his legs, wide, and beckons you forward.
heâs always hard as steel, the bulge in his slacks jumping.
youâre never allowed to use your hands, or even your teeth. he makes you nose at his clothed cock like a dog, sucking on the fabric of his pants until his crotch is a lewd mixture of pre-cum and spit.
you never know when suo is satisfied, not until you feel his firm grip on your chin and his command to give him the panties youâve soaked through.
with careful deliberation, he folds your ruined underwear. his long fingers cup your face; his thumb pries your mouth apart.
âopen wide, sweetheart.â and then he stuffs your panties between your lips, eyes gleaming in triumph when he hears the ruined groan trapped in your throat. âi think weâve heard enough from your pretty mouth tonight, donât you?â
he thumbs away the drool already gathering at the corner of your lips, eyes skating down your body. you jump when he palms your pussy, thighs clamping around his wrist to hold him in place. suo just laughs.
âi think Iâll talk to her for a while while you remember how to behave.â
â Borrowed time, part 4
âźď¸Caleb x reader x Sylus. Reader not MC. University AU. Modern AU. Angst angst angst!
Everyone knows Caleb is in love with MC. Everyone. Including you. But that does not stop him from flirting with you, teasing you, keeping you close. And it definitely does not stop you from falling for himâeven when you know youâre just a stand-in, a place holder.
âUse me.â

part 1 | masterlist
Peace has never felt more profound. Wrapped in the quiet hush of evening, the cool hum of the air conditioner, and the soft duvet cocooning your body, the weight of the world loosens its grip. The storm of thoughts, the heaviness pressing against your ribsâit all quiets, dissolving into the stillness.
Only when left alone, surrendered to the depths of sleep, do you finally feel light. Free. At ease.
But of course, peace was never meant to last. Not when you agreed to this trip.
Three knocks at the door. A soft beep of the lock.
âYn? Are you still sleeping?â
MCâs voice pulls you from the haze of slumber, gentle but insistent. The mattress dips slightly as she steps closer.
You groan, turning away from the sound, but she only huffs.
âItâs already seven. You havenât eaten anything all day.â Concern laces her words as she reaches out, pressing the back of her hand against your forehead. A soft smile tugs at her lips. âYouâre not burning up anymore.â
Blinking against the lingering blur of sleep, you rub your eyes, squinting up at her.
âMhmm,â you mumble, barely coherent.
The tension in her shoulders eases at your response, the worry fading as a familiar brightness returns to her face.
âHereâeat.â She sets a bowl in your hands, warmth seeping through the ceramic. Steam rises, carrying the scent of something unmistakably familiar.
Dark green seaweed sways in golden broth, delicate strands floating between pieces of soft tofu.
Your brows furrow. âWhere did you get this?â
âCaleb made it.â She grins. âHe was adamant about you finishing every last drop, so you better eat up.â
The words settle heavily in your chest.
You know this dish.
Itâs the same soup you once made for him when he was too sick to get out of bed, voice hoarse, fever clouding his mind. The same one he had groggily murmured was the best thing he had ever tasted.
The warmth of the memory seeps in before you can stop it.
Back then, his voice had been hoarse, barely above a whisper, thick with exhaustion.
âCaleb, you should eat.â
âMmnh⌠not hungryâŚâ He mumbled, shifting away from the dish in your hands, cheek pressed against the pillow.
You huffed, exasperated but unwilling to let him get away with it. âI promise itâll make you feel better. Seaweed soups are the best for colds. Trust me.â
It took a few more tries to convince him. A few more weak protests before you had enough.
âBzz, the airplaneâs coming!â You guided the spoon toward his lips, making an exaggerated motion.
A smile flickered across his face, slow and lazy, before it stretched into something wider. âPfftâStop acting like Iâm five!â
His laughter was bright, warm. It tugged at your heart in ways you didnât want to admit.
âYouâre acting like one, so I must treat you as one,â you countered, puffing your cheeks. âNow open up!â
His shoulders shook from suppressed giggles, but he relented, raising a mock defensive hand. âOkay, okay! Pfftââ
His laughter was cut off by a fit of coughs, his body curling in on itself slightly. Your expression immediately shifted, a deeper frown settling between your brows.
âStop playing around. This is my secret recipe. Itâll stop you from starting another pandemic,â you scolded, pushing the spoon toward him again.
He groaned, but finally obeyed, letting the warmth of the soup settle in his mouth.
His eyes widened, lips parting in surprise.
âYou werenât joking,â he muttered, almost in awe. âThis is really good.â
Fatigue seemed to lift slightly from his face, a softness settling in its place.
âSee?â You huffed, victorious.
But thenâhis gaze softened in a way that made your heart skip a beat.
âThank you, shortcake,â he murmured, reaching up with sluggish movements to ruffle your hair. His touch was light, absentminded. Familiar.
Your heart had tuggedâjust slightly.
Now, staring at the same soup, the warmth of the past curling in your chest like a ghost of something you no longer recognize, you swallow down whatever unspoken feeling rises in your throat.
âWell?â MC grins, nudging you. âEat up before it gets cold.â
You hesitate, just for a moment, then lift the spoon to your lips.
It tastes the same.
And yet, somehow, it doesnât.
You take another spoonful, swallowing the warmth down along with the lump in your throat.
MC, oblivious to the thoughts stirring in your head, plops down beside you, stretching her limbs dramatically.
âGod, today was exhausting,â she groans, tilting her head back. âI swear, if I have to redo that crying scene one more time, I might actually start sobbing for real.â
You hum absentmindedly, stirring the soup with your spoon.
âAnd Calebâugh, donât get me started on him. He seemed really out of it today.â she continues, rolling onto her side to face you. âLike, he kept missing his queues, kept dazing in the middle of the shoot. Kept asking me if you ate, made me go shop for the soupâs ingredients with him, double-check the soup, even told me it was your favorite like I didnât already know that.â
Your hand stills over the bowl.
MC doesnât notice.
She sighs dramatically, propping her head up with one hand. âHe even snapped at me earlier. Like, Caleb snapped at me. Can you believe that?â
You glance at her, arching a brow. âWhat did he say?â
She huffs. âI was teasing him, you know? Asking if heâs finally realizing heâs in love with you or whatever. And he just looked at meâlike, seriously looked at meâand said, âSheâs sick, Michaela.â Like, what?â
Something sharp presses against your chest, but you donât acknowledge it.
MC groans again, stretching her arms before flopping back onto the bed. âI get it, though,â she sighs, rolling onto her side to face you. Then, without warning, she grabs your hand, squeezing it tightly.
âI was worried sick about you too, Yn.â Her voice softens, the teasing gone. âDonât go fainting like that again, okay? You gotta tell me if youâre too tired. I need you to be okay.â
You stare at her, her fingers warm against yours, grounding you in a way nothing else has. The weight in your chestâthe anger, the ache thatâs been gnawing at you since this trip beganâfades, just a little.
Because this is MC.
Bright, infuriating, golden MC, who always means it when she says she cares.
And you love her for it.
You love her.
You always have.
So despite everythingâdespite the storm in your chest, despite the way the world has been tilting under your feetâyou smile.
âYeah,â you murmur, squeezing her hand back. âI know.â
Her lips curl into a grin, her eyes gleaming like the sun itself. And just like that, just for a second, the world feels a little lighter.
âAnyways, enough about that. You need to catch up on all the drama you missed today. Andââ
She launches into a rant, animated as ever, filling the room with stories of the âearth-shatteringâ events you somehow survived without.
Somewhere between her exaggerated retellings and her scandalized gasps, you find yourself laughing.
And just like that, the fatigue melts away.
You only realize youâve finished the soup when MC casually plucks the empty bowl from your hands, setting it on the table without missing a beat.
She keeps talking, her words tumbling out in a steady, animated streamâuntil they donât.
You notice it immediately.
The slight stutter. The way her voice falters mid-sentence. The way her fingers suddenly fidget with the loose threads of the blanket. The way a soft, barely-there pink dusts her cheeks.
Your brows furrow slightly. âMC?â
She clears her throat, forcing a casual laugh. âSorry, I justâuhââ she waves a hand, trying to dismiss whatever just flustered her, but you catch it. You always catch it.
The way her lips press together. The way her eyes flicker away, focusing anywhere but you.
Suspicion creeps in. âWhat?â
âNothing.â
âMC.â
She groans dramatically, covering her face with her hands before peeking through her fingers, her voice dropping ever so slightly.
âItâs justâI was practicing lines with Sylus today, andââ
She hesitates, the words caught somewhere between reluctance and amusement.
Your brows lift.
Sylus?
Of course, you know heâs popular. Youâve seen the way girls linger around him, how they find excuses to talk to him. But MC?
Your lips part slightly, but before you can say anything, something else creeps inâunbidden.
The warmth of his body on the tip of your fingers.
The sharp scent of rain clinging to his skin.
The steady grip of his hand, pulling you away from the storm.
The way he leaned against the wall, damp silver strands falling over his eyes, a towel draped over his shoulders, sharp and unbothered.
The quiet turn of a page, his presence steady, grounding, when everything else felt like it was slipping through your fingers.
You swallow.
The memories pass in a flash, leaving behind something you donât quite understand.
MC doesnât notice your silence. She groans again, shaking her head.
âUgh, never mind. Itâs not a big deal,â she mutters, but thereâs a warmth on her face she canât quite hide.
Your lips twitch.
âOh my god,â you gasp dramatically, eyes widening as you lean in closer. âAre you blushing?â
MC swats at you with a pillow, groaning into her hands. âI said never mind!â
That only makes your grin widen.
âNo, no, this is important information,â you tease, nudging her shoulder. âMC, do you have a crush on Sylus?â
She groans even louder, flopping onto the bed in defeat.
âShut up, Yn. My character has a crush on his character. Iâm just way too immersed in the acting!â
You laugh, the sound light, genuine.
â˘
The next few days go by like a blur.
You wake up to MCâs blaring alarm.
You get ready.
You practice your part.
You film.
You watch MC film.
You watch her cheeks flush a little more in scenes she shares with Sylus.
You watch their characters develop.
You eat.
You listen to her rants.
You enjoy the sunset, alone.
You sleep.
Like clockwork, everything plays out like it did yesterday.
And just like everything else, he is on replay, too.
His voice weaves itself into your routine, persistent and unrelenting. A teasing remark over breakfast. A lazy greeting when he passes by. A nudge here, a comment there. Always casual. Always acting as if nothing happened.
âStill mad, shortcake?â
âDamn, I didnât know you had this much endurance. Impressive.â
âLet me make it up to you.â
You donât respond.
âWas today tiring?â
You donât acknowledge him.
âAre you hungry?â
You donât even look at him.
âSomeoneâs making a full-time career out of dodging me.â
Itâs almost comical, how hard heâs trying to act like things are fine. Like you didnât stand there, glaring at him with every ounce of anger you could muster just a few nights ago. Like you werenât left in the rain, stranded in a memory of him choosing her, again.
But thatâs Caleb. Always brushing things off, playing it cool, making it seem like nothing ever really matters.
And maybe if you werenât still seething, it wouldâve worked.
And to an extent, maybe it has.
Because the desperation in his eyes seems to seep out a little more with every interaction.
And when he leans a little too close one afternoon, when his fingers brush against your wrist as he tries to catch your attention, your heart still skips. But the scene of that night haunts you. The line cutting, her laughter, his tender eyes looking at her. So you snatch your hand away, sharp and final.
The laughter in his eyes dims, if only for a second.
âDamn. Harsh.â His playful tone faltering a little.
You donât answer.
And after each of these interactions, your eyes always somehow find its way to the man lingering on the side. And more often than not, you meet his gaze. His ruby eyes pierces through you with a smug smirk plastered on his face.
Oh how much you hate that smug face of his.
Itâs a look that says heâs watching. That heâs amused.
Like youâre the most interesting thing in the room. Like he already knows how this game ends.
You tear your gaze away, but itâs too late. That smirk is already burned into your mind, curling at the edges of your thoughts, creeping under your skin.
Sylus never says much. He lingersâalways just far enough to be uninvolved, yet close enough to witness everything.
Though every single time, he holds your gaze just long enough to let you know that he sees you.
And maybe that should feel comforting.
Maybe it should make you feel like youâre finally being seen.
But with himâwith the way his eyes glint like heâs one step ahead, like heâs entertained by something you donât even understand yetâ
it doesnât feel like comfort.
It feels like a warning.
â˘
âHey! Can someone grab more drinks?â
âOn it!â you shout.
Being done with all of your scenes, you try to help out around the set where you can. You walk away from the beach and to the parking lot where the tents and coolers are set under the treesâ shades. The bickers and chatters fade into the heat as you approach the swaying canopy. The air is heavier hereâthicker, still carrying the scent of salt and sunscreen but now mixed with the plasticky cool of stored ice.
You crouch by one of the coolers, popping the lid open, letting a gust of chilled air wash over your arms.
The silence here is different.
Less alive, less buzzing.
You should be relieved.
But instead, all you can hear is the echo of their voices.
âSheâs pretty good at acting,â someone says.
âShe does her job well,â another agrees.
âWe shouldâve given her another role. She couldâve pulled off a character with more significance.â
âNah, I donât think so. She acts well, but she doesnât shine. Not like her.â
You exhale, pressing your lips together.
Something inside you tenses.
The other laughs in response. âOf course, I wasnât comparing her to Machela. Their auras are very different. Oneâs the main character, the otherâs a decent supporting. You canât compare them.â
Your brows knit together.
You keep your hands still, your breath steady. You donât react, donât turn, donât acknowledge the way the words settle against your skin like grains of sandâlight and fleeting, but impossible to shake off
Itâs fine. It doesnât matter.
Theyâre just opinions, just talk.
You donât care. Youâve never cared.
You know your role. You know your place.
And yetâyour gaze betrays you.
Before you can stop yourself, your eyes flicker to the beach, to her.
MC stands effortlessly at the center of it all, bathed in the golden afternoon light, surrounded by the main characters, the ones who make the scene come alive.
Even among them, she stands out.
She doesnât try to shine, she doesnât try to call for attentionâshe just does.
And then thereâs you, just there.
Blending so well into the background that no one even notices you listening.
You swallow, pushing away the uncomfortable weight creeping up your throat.
A breeze stirs the trees, making the tents flutter. You reach into the ice, grabbing a handful of cans, the cold biting against your fingertips.
You exhale, force your shoulders to relax, and do what you always do.
You shake it off. You move.
You quickly grab as many drinks as you can hold and hurry back to the set.
âWho wants water?â Your voice bright, easy.
You step back onto the sand, the heat pressing down on your skin, the voices of the crew and cast swelling around you once more. The coolness of the shade lingers faintly on your fingertips, already fading as you carry the drinks back.
But the words silently follow your trails.
âOh my god, youâre a life saver!â
MCâs voice snaps you out of it as she practically lunges for one of the cans in your hands, tearing it open like sheâs been stranded on this beach for days. She presses it to her cheek, sighing dramatically.
âIâm dying,â she groans, tipping her head back for a long gulp. âWhy did I agree to film on a beach? Who thought this was a good idea?â
Before you can answer, another shadow falls over you.
A shift in the air. A presence that arrives so smoothly, so effortlessly, that you donât even notice until heâs already there.
Sylus.
He reaches out and plucks a drink from your hand, slow and deliberate, fingers brushing the condensation-slick surface.
Thenâhe opens it.
The sound is sharp against the hazy heat, a crisp hiss that barely lingers before he tips the can back.
And you watch.
The way his throat moves as he drinks, slow and deep, his Adamâs apple bobbing with each swallow. The way a bead of sweat drips from his temple, trailing down the sharp line of his jaw, catching in the dip of his collarbone before disappearing beneath his shirt.
For a second, the world feels too slow.
When he lowers the can, heâs already looking at you.
âWhat?â he says, voice smooth, amused, a smirk tugging lazily at his lips. âNot for me?â
Your face immediately scrunches up.
Not a word leaves your mouth, but the reaction is enough.
Sylus chuckles, taking another sip like heâs entertained by something only he understands.
Then, just as effortlessly as he arrived, he turns and walks off, the warm breeze ruffling through his hair, leaving behind nothing but the faintest trace of cool metal and salt air.
Silence settles between you and MC.
It takes you a second to notice itâthe fact that she hasnât moved, hasnât said a word.
You glance at her. The red dusting her face. The way she presses her lips together, eyes darting everywhere but where Sylus just stood.
Something tugs at your chest.
A feelingâsmall, unclear, curling at the edges of your ribs like an itch you canât quite scratch.
You donât exactly understand it, nor do you want to.
So you push it down, bury it deep, shove it away before it can take shape.
âOh,â you hum, forcing a smirk on your lips.
MC immediately stiffens. âNo.â
âOhhh.â
âNo, no, no!â She flails her hands in front of her face like she can physically push the accusation away.
âYouâre blushing.â
âI am not!â
âYou totally are.â
She lets out a strangled noise, shaking her head so fast her hair whips around her shoulders. âIâIâm not crushing!â she wails, throwing her hands up. âIâm justâugh, itâs the next scene, okay?!â
You pause.
The next scene.
The kiss scene.
With Sylus.
You blink, then grin. âThatâs what youâre nervous about?â
MC groans, dragging a hand down her face. âHeâs so annoying,â she grumbles. âHow am I supposed to do this with someone who justâoozes arrogance?â She gulps down the drink in her hands, turning away.
âTry not to melt, yeah? Would be real awkward if the crew had to scrape you off the floor after this.â A playful voice interrupts your conversation.
Caleb.
He strides toward the two of you, effortless as always, plucking a can from your hands and popping it open with a crisp hiss. His smirk is thereâlight, teasing, the same one he always wears when heâs messing around.
But it doesnât quite reach his eyes.
His gaze flicks to the spot where Sylus had just been.
Something in his jaw tightens.
Others might have missed it, but you know him too well. Youâre well too accustomed to watching him, seeing all his micro movements when he interacts with MC.
His fingers curl just a little too tightly around the can, knuckles faintly stiff.
Still, he plays it off.
âSo,â he drawls, turning back to MC, forcing that smirk back into place. âHow long are you gonna make us suffer through this? You practicing, or are we just skipping to the part where you swoon?â
MC snaps to attention, the red still fresh on her face. âI donâtâshut up.â
Caleb clicks his tongue, mockingly thoughtful. âHuh. So defensive. Makes you wonder.â
âYou wonder too much,â she fires back, narrowing her eyes.
âNah,â he grins, taking a slow sip of his drink. âI just have an eye for lost causes.â
And then, before she can dodge, he presses the cold can against her cheek.
MC yelps, jerking away. âCalebâwhat the hell!â
âThought you were overheating,â he muses, completely unbothered. âWouldnât want you fainting before the big scene.â
MC glares, rubbing at her cheek like heâs personally offended her. âYouâre the worst.â
âAnd yet,â he sighs, shaking his head. âStill a better option than him.â
MC groans. âAre you seriously insulting Sylus right now?â
âIâm just saying,â Caleb shrugs, casual. âThe guy looks like he bites.â
âYouâre so dramatic.â
âAnd youâre gonna let him lick your face in front of all of us.â
âItâs a kiss, you idiotââ
âSame difference.â
Before MC can strangle him, the directorâs voice cuts through the chatter.
âAlright, places, everyone! Letâs run the scene.â
MC freezes.
The teasing dies.
Caleb hums. âUh-oh. Thatâs your cue.â
She exhales sharply, smoothing down her clothes like thatâll somehow fix her nerves.
âDonât overthink it,â he says lightly, taking another sip. âItâs just a scene, right?â
MC glares at him, muttering something under her breath before stomping toward the set.
His eyes follow her form, watching her go.
Calebâs smirk lingers, but itâs hollow nowâmore muscle memory than anything else.
Then, without a word, he crushes the empty can in his fist.
You donât say anything.
You just stand there, staring at the crumpled metal in his hand, feeling the weight of everything he isnât saying.
The sharp crunch of aluminum still lingers in the air when you finally take a step back, about to turn awayâ
But before you can, his hand grabs your wrist.
Firm. Unrelenting.
Your breath catches.
âCome here,â he mutters, low, rough, before pulling you with him.
You barely have time to react before youâre being led away from the crowd, past the chatter, past the cameras and the blinding sun.
He doesnât stop until youâre tucked into the shadows of a secluded corner, hidden behind a wall where no one can see.
Only then does he let go.
Only then does he turn to you, dark eyes burning with something too raw, too intense.
âHow long are you going to keep this up?â he asks.
The words hit the air, heavier than they should be.
You blink. âWhatââ
âIâm sorry, okay?â His voice is frustrated, breath uneven. âI know I messed up. I shouldâve paid more attention. I shouldâveââ
He stops himself, exhaling sharply, dragging a hand through his hair like heâs barely holding something together.
Then, before you can moveâ
His hands press against the wall, caging you in.
Not touching you. But close.
Too close.
His scent fills your sensesâsomething warm, sharp, unmistakably him.
âYou canât convince yourself to hate me with every fiber of your being, wouldnât you agree?â he murmurs, voice quieter now, but no less desperate. âIâll eventually find a way to make things right. As long asâŚâ he pauses. His breaths are shuddering.
Your heart stutters.
âYouâre by my side,â he whispers.
His eyes flicker over your face, searching, waitingâ
And then, softer, rougherâ
âPlease.â
A breath.
âI need you now more than ever.â
The words sink into your skin, settle into your chest, and Godâ
It hurts.
Because you know.
You know this isnât about you.
Not really.
Not in the way you want it to be.
Heâs frustrated. Heâs angry. Not at youâbut at something else, at someone else, at the way things are slipping through his fingers.
And here you are.
Pulled into the scene like always.
Here to fill in the gaps.
Here to be the character he needs in this moment.
Your throat tightens.
Your fingers curl into fists.
You donât shove him away.
You donât give in, either.
You just look at him.
At the tension in his jaw. At the way his chest rises and falls just a little too fast.
âAction!â
The directorâs voice rings out.
Like a snapped thread, Caleb pulls away.
Your attention shifts
And you see it.
The perfect scene unfolding before you.
The setting sun drenches the world in gold, soft and warm, casting a glow over the sand, the ocean, the two figures at the center of it all.
MC and Sylus.
MC in the center, like always.
Sylusâs hands rest on her waist, firm but careful. His fingers trace along the curve of her back, pulling her closer, into him, into his world. His head tilts, his smirk faint, unreadableâlike heâs in control of every beat of this moment.
MC leans in.
Slow, hesitant, shy.
Like a girl falling into the gravity of a man she canât escape.
The light catches the soft parting of her lips, the uncertainty, the delicate trust in her expression.
Sylusâs fingers tighten, and he closes the distance.
Their lips brushâlight at firstâbefore she melts into him, hands lifting to his chest.
Itâs effortless.
Beautiful.
The kind of moment people will remember.
The picture-perfect romance.
A story falling into place.
Your stomach twists.
Itâs not the kiss itself that gets to you. Itâs the way the scene feels like fate, the way itâs framed, the way the world seems to bend itself around her like she was always meant to be at the center.
Like everything happens for her.
And, as if to prove your pointâyou gaze shifts.
And you see Caleb.
Heâs watching the scene.
Watching her.
His breaths are coming even more uneven than before.
Not obvious, not noticeable to most.
But, caged between his arms, you see it.
The way his chest rises just a little too fast, the way his fingers flex and release at his sides, the way his jaw locks so tightly you swear he might break something.
And your chest burns more than ever.
You hate it. You hate everything about this.
You hate how, no matter what happensâthis world, this story, this entire thing, bends itself around her.
That all of youâyou, Caleb, and even Sylusâ are just pieces in the grand design of her narrative.
That no matter where you stand, no matter what you doâ
MC is the one the light falls on.
She is the one everything happens for.
She is the one whose all her wishes come true.
You hate it. You hate how youâre just here.
Always here.
Always playing a role in someone elseâs story.
And you hate it most that your eyes are turning green looking at her.
That the jealousy creeping up your throat, curling tight in your chest, isnât just about the scene or the way Sylus or Caleb seem to orbit around her.
Itâs about the way the world chooses her, time and time again.
And the fact that youâre bitter about itâ
That you feel this way at allâ
God, you hate it.
âYou donât need me, Caleb.â your voice much weaker than you want it to be.
You push him out, and quickly turn away, walking off, leaving the beach, the golden sunset, the picture-perfect scene.
And if Caleb calls after youâyou donât hear it.
You donât want to.
â˘
The night air presses against your skin, cool but not enough. Not enough to wash away the tension in your chest, not enough to erase the way your own voice had echoed back at youâ
The long walk you took shouldâve made you feel lighter.
You should feel relieved.
But you donât.
Instead, the weight follows you, pressing against your ribs with every step, every breath, every slow drag of the tide pulling at the shore. The muffled sounds of the set fade behind you, swallowed by the darkness of the beach.
Only when you get closer to the resort do you start hearing the music.
It starts as a distant thrum, pulsing faintly through the heavy night air. A low bassline reverberating from somewhere ahead, blending with the sound of crashing waves. It takes a second to register, for your feet to slow, for the familiar heat of it to sink in.
The afterparty.
Itâs inside the main house, a sprawling beachfront villa that serves as the cast and crewâs retreat after long filming days. The windows glow golden and inviting, the silhouette of moving bodies visible through the sheer curtains.
You hover near the doorway.
Inside, the world is warmer, hazier, looser.
The weight of the evening still sits heavy on your shoulders, but no one else seems to notice. No one else cares.
People are sprawled across couches, tucked into booths, pressed against walls, drinks in hand, faces flushed from alcohol and laughter. The lighting is low, a mixture of dim lamps and fairy lights strung along the ceiling, flickering against the glass like trapped fireflies. The scent of spilled liquor, cheap cologne, and the lingering trace of bonfire smoke fills the air.
MC is somewhere in the center of it all.
You see her immediately.
Perched on the arm of a couch, grinning, draped in warmth and attention, her head tilting back in laughter as someone hands her another drink. She looks effortless, as if the day never happened, as if the weight of the scene she filmed with Sylus didnât still cling to her like it does to you.
She glows.
Like she always does.
And for the first time, you donât want to be anywhere near her.
Not tonight.
You turn away, slipping past the clusters of people, past the thrumming energy, and find a quiet corner.
A small table sits against the wall, lined with bottles, a stack of plastic cups haphazardly placed beside them.
You grab one.
Then a bottle.
The first drink goes down too fast. The second burns, but you barely react. The third is easier, a slow warmth spreading through your limbs, seeping into your fingers, dulling the sharp edges of your thoughts.
You lean back against the wall, fingers wrapped loosely around the cup, and watch as the night moves on without you.
MC is spinning, giggling, spilling half her drink as she sways to the music. Someone reaches for her waist, catching her just before she loses her balance. Caleb.
Heâs there, as always.
Steadying her, teasing her, watching her.
You tip your cup back, draining the rest of your drink.
The music swells, the bass thrumming against your skin. The alcohol curls deeper into your system, warm and heady, numbing the part of you that still feels too present, too aware.
You donât want to be aware.
You just want to sit here in this corner, where no one is watching, where no one is expecting anything from you.
And for a while, you do.
Drink after drink, until the night feels softer at the edges, until the sound of laughter no longer feels like it belongs to a world you canât touch.
But then, a loud clap pierces through the room and the music lowers.
The music lowers.
âAlright, listen up! Itâs time to bring some romance to life!â
The energy shifts.
People perk up, some groaning, some cheering, all of them gravitating toward the center of the room.
You barely react, swirling the last bit of alcohol in your cup.
But then, you hear it.
âSeven minutes in heaven, baby! Whoâs in?â
Your fingers tighten around your drink.
MC perks up immediately, eyes gleaming with the kind of reckless excitement that only comes with being several drinks in.
Caleb groans, rolling his eyes, but heâs grinning.
Meanwhile, you simply sigh as your gaze falls back to the cup in your hand.
Because of course itâs this.
Of course this night, like everything else, will find a way to make her the center of it.
âWeâre going to spice things up a little bit,â someone announces over the music, their voice dripping with amusement. A cup filled with rolled-up pieces of paper rattles in their hands as they shake it for emphasis.
âInstead of randomly drawing two names, only one name will be called.â
A pause. Anticipation thickens the air, curious murmurs rippling through the crowd.
The person smirks. âOnce that name is called, youâll be given ten seconds to either volunteer yourself orââ they tilt the cup teasingly, âyour friend to be their partner.â
A wave of excitement rolls through the room. Some people cheer, some groan, some exchange knowing glances. A few shove their friends forward, already laughing at the thought of throwing them into the game.
The first name is drawn.
Someone calls it out, and thereâs a brief, charged pause before someone steps forward, dramatically throwing their hands up. The crowd erupts as they disappear behind the door, laughter and wolf whistles chasing after them.
Then another name.
And another.
Each round follows the same patternâa pause, then cheering, then the shuffle of two people slipping into the closet.
Some stumble back out minutes later, flushed and breathless, met with hollers and teasing. Others laugh it off, shaking their heads, grinning like theyâve just escaped something ridiculous.
The alcohol, the music, the flickering lightsâeverything feels looser, bolder, dipping further into recklessness with each passing round.
People egg each other on, nudging shoulders, calling out names before theyâre even drawn, spurring the night forward like a challenge.
And thenâ
Another name is pulled.
The voice rings loud over the noise.
And your heart stops.
âYn!â
Heads turn. Conversations pause. A slow wave of curiosity and anticipation ripples through the crowd as people glance around, searching for you.
âThere she is!â
A pair of hands grab your wrist before you can even think about running.
Laughter spills around you as youâre dragged through the throng of people, the heat of bodies pressing in from all sides. Your pulse spikes, the alcohol in your system making everything feel sluggish yet sharp all at onceâlike youâre wading through a dream you canât control.
They stop right in front of the closet.
Someone swings an arm over your shoulders, grinning.
âSooo,â they drawl, their voice dripping with mischief, âwhoâd like to partner up with her?â
A beat of silence follows.
A momentâthick, expectant.
And thenâ
The crowd parts.
The shift is subtle at first, a presence cutting through the sea of bodies, slow, unhurried, inevitable.
Then you see him.
He steps forward with the kind of effortless confidence that demands attentionâshoulders relaxed, hands tucked into the pockets of his fitted black slacks, the faintest smirk curling at his lips.
The room reacts before you do.
A low hum of interest, a few knowing whistles, someone muttering âOh, shit.â
And God, does he know what heâs doing.
His stride is measured, each step slow and deliberate, the kind that makes you feel like heâs taking his time just to make a statement. The dim lighting casts sharp shadows along his jawline, highlighting the sculpted edges of his faceâthe messily tousled silver hair, the piercing crimson eyes that lock onto yours like a brand.
He doesnât blink.
Doesnât waver.
Just watches you as he approaches, like heâs already decidedâlike this was never even up for discussion.
Then, finallyâ
He stops right in front of you.
Too close.
The warmth of him seeps into the space between you, a contrast to the cool scent of his cologneâsomething crisp, dark, dangerous in a way that makes your stomach twist.
He tilts his head, the movement slow, teasing.
âWhat?â his voice is smooth, low enough that only you can hear. âNot for me?â
The words slam into you like a punch to the gutâbecause he knows exactly what heâs doing, and heâs enjoying every second of it.
The room erupts around you, people whooping, clapping, some downright losing their minds over the fact that Sylus fucking Qin just stepped forward for this game.
You swallow.
Your fingers twitch at your sides. Your pulse spikes, heat curling at the edges of your skinânot just from the alcohol, not just from the intensity of his gaze, but from the sheer presence of him.
Your eyes flicker around the room, anxious of all the cheering going on. Though, it lands on her. On MC.
Your breath catches.
She is staring. Not laughing. Not cheering like the others.
And for the first time tonight, she looks shocked.
Like this wasnât supposed to happen.
Like this wasnât part of the story she had in her head.
Your stomach twists, heat creeping up your spine.
However, you were quickly pulled out of your daze when someone claps you on the back, pushing you forward.
The crowd cheers louder and the closet door swings open.
Darkness yawns before you.
Sylus steps forward first, his hand brushing against your lower back as he guides you inside. Casual. Effortless. Like heâs done this before. Like heâs leading you somewhere only he understands.
The door clicks shut.
And the world is swallowed whole.
The music, the voices, the partyâit all fades, muffled by the thick wooden walls, leaving only this.
Only him.
Your breath comes uneven, your pulse a heavy drumbeat in your ears, because suddenly, the space around you feels too small. The darkness presses in from all sides, thick and stifling, and the only thing clouding your sensesâ
Is him.
Sylus leans back against the door, his presence unshakable, his scent thick in the air.
Woody. Dark. A hint of spice laced with something richer, smokier.
Cigar musk and worn leather. Something dangerously smooth, something that lingers.
You canât see him, but you feel him.
Feel the warmth of his body just inches away. Feel the gravity of him, the way he takes up space without even trying.
The realization of your positions slams into you, sharp and sudden, sending heat curling through your stomach.
You take a step back, but thereâs nowhere to goâthe closet is too small, too tight, too suffocatingly intimate.
A chuckle. Low, amused, sinful.
âAlready nervous?â His voice is pure velvet, thick with the kind of arrogance that makes your stomach tighten.
You swallow, your fingers twitching at your sides.
âIâm not nervous.â
âMm.â He hums, unconvinced.
The air between you is loaded, heavy, charged with something you donât know how to name.
And thenâ
A shift.
A quiet creak of leather. A faint rustle of fabric.
He moves.
Closer.
You donât even hear him step forward, donât see him in the thick darknessâbut you feel it. The way the space tightens. The way his heat licks at your skin, close enough to touch.
Close enough that if you just reached outâ
A warm breath skims along your jaw.
You freeze.
Not touching. Not yet. But so close it doesnât even matter.
Your own breath hitches, and thatâs when you feel itâ
His smirk.
You canât see it. But you can feel it.
The way the air shifts between you, the way the silence stretches, the way his head tilts just slightly, like heâs waiting.
Like heâs playing with his food.
The muscles in your stomach tighten.
âYouâre quiet,â he murmurs, voice dipping even lower, more intimate, like a secret meant only for you. âNot used to being this close to me?â
Your fingers curl into fists, nails biting into your palms.
And God, you hate him for this.
For the way he gets under your skin without even trying.
For the way he makes you feel like youâre standing on the edge of something dangerous, something uncontrollable, something that might swallow you whole if you let it.
The air between you is charged, electric, the kind of tension that makes your skin feel too hot, too tight.
A low chuckle erupts from his chest, its vibrations reaching yours. He leans down towards your ear, his breath tickling your skin.
âUse me.â
The words hit the air like a match against gasoline.
Your breath catches.
A smirk curves against the dark. He knows.
Of course he knows.
âUse me to make him jealous.â
Your stomach tightens, heat spreading through your limbs like liquid fire.
You swallow. âThatâsââ
âThatâs what you want, isnât it?â His voice dips lower, a soft, taunting hum, stepping closer, just enough that you catch the faintest trace of clean linen and something sharp beneath it.
You hate that your pulse spikes.
You hate that heâs right.
You hate how easily he gets under your skin, how effortlessly he peels you open without even touching you.
You part your lips to deny it, butâ
âOr,â he muses, tilting his head slightly, voice edged with something wicked, something dangerous, something that makes your knees feel weakâ
âIf youâd rather make it more interestingâŚâ
A pause. A shift. A fraction of movement, barely thereâ
But you feel it.
The brush of his breath against your skin, the slow, unbearable closeness.
ââŚUse me to make her jealous.â
Your breath stutters.
He sees it.
He feels it.
And the slow, lazy smirk that tugs at his lipsâitâs lethal.
Like heâs already won.
Like he knows exactly what buttons heâs pushing.
Like heâs daring you to say yes.
Your fingers curl into fists. Heat rolls beneath your skin, something dangerous, something reckless.
You should tell him to fuck off.
You should shove him away.
You shouldâ
But you donât.
Because in this moment, in this dark, stifling spaceâ
You donât know what you want more.
To prove him wrong.
Or to let him be right.
Perhaps itâs the pain youâve been swallowing for months, the way itâs settled deep in your ribs, pressing against your lungs like a bruise that refuses to fade.
Perhaps itâs the alcohol, heavy in your bloodstream, loosening your grip on restraint, making you weak to the things you never let yourself touch.
Or maybeâmaybeâitâs the way your stomach twists at the memory of her face.
MCâs wide, stunned eyes. The sharp sting of betrayal flashing across her features.
And as much as you hate it, as much as that look should send you crumblingâ
Some twisted part of you puffs.
Some part of you, buried beneath layers of resentment, self-doubt, and the endless role of being cast in the background, thrives on it.
Because for onceâfor onceâshe is not the one standing in the center of the world.
For once, you have something she doesnât.
And maybe itâs wrong. Maybe youâll hate yourself for this later.
But right nowâright nowâ
The weight of Sylusâs heat against you, the scent of smoke and clean linen and something sharp curling into your senses, pressing into the empty spaces inside youâ
Itâs stopping you from thinking straight.
And when his lips part, when his breath brushes over your skin, when the last thread of tension pulls taut between youâ
You stop thinking altogether.
Because before you can second-guess yourselfâ
You grab him.
Fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt, yanking him down, crashing into him like youâve lost control of gravity itself.
Heat.
Pressure.
It is all you can feel.
His lips crash against yours, and everything ignites.
Your lips slowly move, and his follow suit. You can feel the smirk on his lips.
That damned smirk.
But your mind is wiped clean as soon as he tilts his head, the kiss turning hungrier. The tension builds, unraveling into something desperate, something heavy, something neither of you have the willpower to stop anymore.
Sylus lets out a low, dark chuckle against your mouth, but you swallow it whole.
He recovers quicklyâof course he doesâbecause the moment you give in, heâs already taking.
His hands slam against the wall behind you, pinning you between him and nothing else, his body pressing in, heat bleeding through his clothes and onto your skin.
The kiss is rough, deliberate, his lips moving against yours with slow precision, dragging, teasing, tasting.
Like heâs memorizing you.
Like heâs proving a point.
Your breath shudders when he bites, just enough to sting, just enough to make your knees buckle.
You hate that he knows exactly what heâs doing.
Hate that heâs making you melt so easily.
Your nails dig into his shoulders, gripping him tight, using it as leverage when you press your body flush against his.
A sharp inhale from him.
A brief pause.
His fingers dive into your hair, twisting, tugging, tilting your head back as his mouth slants over yours, harder this time.
Deeper.
His other hand slides down, skimming over your ribs, tracing heat into your skin through your clothes before settling at your waist.
Firm. Possessive.
You donât even realize youâve been backing up until your back hits the closet wall and he presses in, caging you there, forcing you to feel every inch of him.
Your head spins.
The alcohol, the heat, the weight of himâitâs too much. But not enough.
A low groan rumbles deep in his chest when you tug at his hair, nails raking lightly against his scalp.
And then, his lips break away from yoursâjust barely, just enough to breathe against your mouth, the ghost of a smirk tugging at his swollen lips.
âDidnât know you had it in you,â he murmurs, voice thick, husky, laced with something dangerous.
You exhale, your own lips tingling, your chest rising and falling too fast.
âShut up.â
His teeth flash in the dimness, his breath hot against your lips.
Your grip tightens on his shirt, but it does nothing to steady you.
Sylus moves slowlyâdeliberate, like heâs savoring this moment, like he has all the time in the world to watch you unravel.
His hands dip beneath your shirt, fingers curling against your waist, his touch cool against the heat of your skin.
You shudder, a sharp inhale betraying you as his fingers start to moveâslow, teasing strokes, tracing along the sensitive dip of your spine, mapping you out like heâs memorizing you by touch alone.
His mouth hovers just over yours, his breath fanning against your lips, his smirk felt more than seen in the heavy darkness.
âYouâre shaking,â he murmurs, voice a low hum of amusement, his fingers pressing just slightly harder into your waist.
You bite your lip, hating the way your body responds to him, the way his touch burns through the fabric of your self-control.
âIâm not shaking.â
Sylus laughs, a deep, satisfied sound, his grip flexing slightlyâhis thumbs skimming just beneath the curve of your ribs, fingertips lingering dangerously close to places they shouldnât be.
âSure,â he muses, tilting his head. âKeep telling yourself that.â
Thenâhe shifts.
A slow, taunting drag of his mouth, skimming along the curve of your jaw, down to the edge of your throat.
You swallow hard, your pulse thundering beneath his lips.
âYou still thinking about them?â he murmurs, voice dropping into something dark, coaxing, his fingers spreading wider, pressing into the dip of your lower back, pulling you flush against him.
The sharp heat of his body bleeds through your clothes, overwhelming, intoxicating, making it impossible to focus on anything other than him.
His mouth brushes against your neckâjust barely, just enoughâand a low, approving hum vibrates from his chest when he feels your breath catch.
âGood,â he whispers, voice dark with satisfaction.
His hands trail higher, warmer, slipping beneath the fabric of your shirt, his touch searing against your bare skin.
His fingers splay over the curve of your spine, pressing in just enough to make you arch, just enough to remind you that he has full control of this moment.
âYou know,â he murmurs, lips grazing against your throat, voice thick with amusement, âwhen I said to use meâŚâ
His hands continue their slow ascent, fingertips tracing along the delicate line of your ribs, slipping under the thin strap of your bra, his knuckles brushing dangerously close to places that would mean no turning back.
âI was talking about simply making it seem like we did something.â
He pauses.
A teasing smirk curls against your skin.
âDidnât think youâd take it so literally.â
Your breath stutters.
A sharp mix of heat and indignation surges through you, twisting deep in your stomach, because heâs playing with you.
Like he knows exactly what heâs doing to youâand he loves every second of it.
Your fingers curl into the fabric of his shirt, gripping tighter, a silent warning, a desperate attempt to keep yourself together.
He just chucklesâlow, dark, sinful.
âGetting shy now?â His voice is all arrogance, his hands still skimming, still testing, still pushing you to the edge of losing control completely.
You hate him.
God, you hate him.
But you hate yourself more for the way your body leans into him, for the way your breath hitches when his teeth graze your pulse, for the way his heat drowns you whole.
And the worst part?
He knows.
He always knows.
His lips ghost over your skin, the smirk never leaving.
âTell me, sweetheart,â he whispers, voice velvet-smooth, âif I slipped my hands a little lower, would you stop me?â
Your stomach flips.
Your grip tightens.
But you donât answer.
And that silence is exactly what he needs.
Sylus hums, a low, knowing sound, his fingers tightening against your spine, dragging heat along your skin as they trail downward againâslow, teasing, excruciating.
And then, his lips move, lowerâtracing just barely along the column of your throat, hovering, not quite touching, not quite giving in.
âNo protest?â His voice is mocking, rich with amusement and something darker, something heavier.
His fingers skim along the waistband of your jeans, just a whisper of pressure, enough to send a jolt through your system, enough to make your nails bite into his shirt, into his skin beneath it.
Your pulse hammers, every muscle in your body coiled so tightly you swear you might snap.
His breath brushes against your ear, soft, deliberate, taunting.
âStill not stopping me?â
You should.
You should.
But your body betrays you, tilting into his touch, into his heat, into the danger of him.
Sylus hums, a deep, satisfied sound, his fingers hooking onto the waistband of your jeansâ
A knock shatters the daze you were in.
Loud. Sharp.
The closet door rattles slightly.
âTimeâs up, lovebirds!â someone calls, muffled through the wood.
Everything freezes.
Your breath catches.
Sylus doesnât move, not immediately.
For a long, tense second, his fingers lingerâjust barely pressing into your skin, his body still flush against yours, his lips hovering just over your jaw.
Though slowly, deliberately, devastatinglyâhe pulls back.
Just enough for you to breathe again.
Just enough to make you ache from the loss.
Sylus stretches, rolling his shoulders lazily before throwing you a look thatâs pure, wicked satisfaction. He runs his thumb across his lower lip, like heâs still tasting you there.
The door finally swings open, and light floods in.
His voice is low, smooth as silk, but dripping with mocking amusement, he whispers before he steps out of the closetâ
âShame. I was just getting started.â

Childhood trio Pt. Fake IDs and.. đś
Zayne: Iâm not mad, I just need to know why you two had a fake ID.
MC: *Incoherent mumbling*
Zayne: Huh?
Caleb: âŚYou need to be 18 to hold the puppies at the pet store.
caleb | 1:22 am
Your pillow is buzzing. Why is it buzzing? You groan and reach underneath your pillow, grasping at your phone. You pull it out, sit up in bed and blink at it. Caleb's name flashes across the screen. You swipe your finger across it.
"Caleb?"
There's a pause before the voice on the other end coughs awkwardly.
"Uh... is this... Pipsqueak?"
You're immediately alert. The voice doesn't belong to Caleb.
"Who is this?" you demand, your voice still thick with sleep.
"You were listed as this guy, Caleb's, emergency contact," the voice explains. "He's at the bar. We've had to cut him off. Can you come get him? We close in, like, half an hour."
You're immediately out of bed, pulling sweatpants and a hoodie on. "Oh my god, of course, I'm on my way."
You're stuffing your feet into shoes when you hear someone slurring his words in the background. "Hey, that's my phone, gi-gi-give it back!"
---
"You're too nice to him, my wife would have made me sleep and sober up outside."
You chuckle at the taxi driver's remark. You were lucky to flag down a cab at this time in the night. The driver had asked you were you were going so late, and you had explained everything to him. You and Caleb had been giving each other the silent treatment for two days now. It was over something stupid. He had left one of his unfinished models lying around on the floor in your apartment and you hadn't seen it - you had ended up stepping on it - on accident, of course - but you had never seen Caleb so upset. It ended with him storming out of your apartment and no calls or texts from him for the last couple of days. You had thought about apologizing first, but had decided he was being childish and that he would approach you when he was ready. But it turns out that he had decided to drown his sorrows in alcohol. You had known that he likes to drink socially once in a while, but he's never been totally wasted before - not like this. You wanted to seem calm and collected, but inside, your anxiety is tearing you up. Is Caleb okay?
The driver slows down and pulls up to the bar. He meets your eyes in the rearview mirror.
"Go get him, I'll wait here."
You thank him, and head inside the bar. The glass door is already locked, but you knock a couple of times, and a staff member appears from behind the bar and lets you in.
"Sorry," he apologizes, scratching the back of his head. "We would have sent him home in a cab but he wouldn't tell us his address. He kept saying he wanted 'Pipsqueak'. He's a regular here so we really didn't want to let him wander home by himself."
You nod at the bartender. "Thank you. Where is he?"
He points at one of the corner booths with his thumb. You make a beeline for it, and see Caleb, lying across the booth's cushion. His cheeks are flushed red and he's snoring lightly, his hand gripping his phone.
You shake him gently to wake him. "Caleb, let's go home."
He groans and lifts his head slowly. "Please, leave me alone. I have... I have a..." His eyes open and they widen when they meet yours. "Pipsqueak," he whispers.
You place a hand on his cheek. "Let's get you home, okay?"
---
It was a mission to get Caleb in the cab, even with the help of the bartender. It's an even bigger mission to get him into your apartment building and up the stairs. But you manage to do it, and get him inside the apartment without incident.
Almost there!
You practically haul him to your room, and push him onto the bed. He flops onto it like a ragdoll, one arm and both his legs hanging off the sides.
You stare at him, hands on your hips, panting quietly. "Well, that can't be too comfortable."
You take a few moments to catch your breath before you decide to tackle his jeans and shoes - they come off easily enough, and then you get to work on his shirt. His eyes are still closed and he's muttering something softly, but you can't take the time to figure out what he's saying. You start to put on some shorts for him, but it's awkward and you only manage to get one leg in.
"Caleb, Caleb." You squeeze one of his knees to wake him again. "I need your help, sit up for a little bit."
This seems to rouse him and Caleb lets out a low groan and rises slowly.
"Okay, let's just get these shorts on."
Caleb is still for a few moments, and you think he's fallen asleep again while sitting up. But he mumbles something almost imperceptible, and you almost miss it. He's saying your name.
You look up at him from where you're crouching next to the bed, and meet his bloodshot eyes. There are tears forming at their corners.
You're startled - you're not used to seeing him cry. "Caleb? What's wrong?"
"I'm so sorry," he whispers. You can smell the alcohol in his breath. "I was so stupid. I'm sorry."
A lump in your throat forms and you have to turn away before he can see the tears in your own eyes. You clear your throat before speaking again. "Let's talk about it in the morning, okay? Just get in the shorts and then we can go to bed."
Caleb nods, and pulls his shorts up so that they're on properly. You breathe a sigh of relief, and help him get under the covers of the bed.
You go about settling down for the night again, making sure the front door is locked, all lights are off, and placing a packet of headache medication and a glass of water on the nightstand next to Caleb's side of the bed.
You slide in under the covers next to him, and notice that he's still awake, his eyes struggling to focus on you.
"Pipsqueak," he mutters, his eyelids fluttering. "Please, don't be mad at me any more."
You smile at him, amused at the fact that he fought to stay awake to tell you that. You brush the hair away from his forehead with your hand and plant a small kiss on it. Caleb sighs, and he closes his eyes, surrendering to sleep.
"You're the one who didn't call or text for two days, dumbass," you mumble, knowing that you'll go unheard. You don't care. You continue raking your hands through his hair as he snores softly.
taking a shower with caleb, but for once, you're the one pampering him.
he's always the one washing your hair, but when you pout at him and threaten to leave the shower, he relents and sits on the shower bench in front of you. he sighs and tells you once more that "baby, you really don't have to, i'm okay," but you're having none of that. tilting his head up to meet your gaze, you press a kiss to his eyelids, and he tenderly places his hands on your hips â rubbing small comforting circles with his thumbs.
shielding his eyes from the water, you make sure his hair is thoroughly soaked through before squeezing some shampoo in your palms and massaging his scalp with it. caleb shudders a bit at first, your smaller hands much warmer than his. your touch is so soft, and for some reason, his chest feels like it's tightening a bit. when you push his hair back and laugh, whispering that "slicked back hair fits you, handsome," caleb looks at you as if you hung the moon and stars in the sky.
the feeling of your warm skin beneath his hands, your nails soothingly scratching his scalp, and your soft hums â this is love, he thinks. you're gazing at him with so much adoration, and you're treating him as if he was fragile. it's all so overwhelming, and caleb can't help the tears in his eyes. he was always content caring for you, never expecting you to do the same â your presence alone was a blessing enough. when he takes his hands off your hips to wipe his eyes, you grow concerned.
âcaleb, are you okay? did shampoo get in your eyes?â
in response, he just laughs and wraps his arms around your waist, resting his head against your chest. listening carefully to your heartbeat, he exhales deeply. your body heat is so grounding, and he can't help letting out a choked sob when he feels you wrap your own arms around him. you care, you care for him so deeply, and caleb never knew he could allow himself to be selfish in this manner.
oh, how lucky you were to have each other.
âjust thinking about how much i love you.â
đ pomme's notes â his myth damn near made me kill myself i need to love him so bad.. also inspired by that one reddit guy whose girlfriend washed his hair and he cried.. that's calebcore!!

[ spring kisses with them ]
featuring: sylus, zayne, xavier, rafayel, caleb
{ one smile, one kiss, two lonely hearts is all that i need now, baby | youâre on my mind every night, every day⌠}
you became drunk off the scent of flowers, giggling each time sylus teases you with their soft petals.
his gaze remain soft; rufescent eyes gazing down at your figure as they fill with adoration for you. holding the flower gingerly by its stem, he places the pink petals against your lips. a tickling sensation was felt on your skin, causing your lips to tilt up in a sweet smile that captivates your beloved.
the flowerâs petals shift in response to the wind, the petals breaking from its stem before landing against your parted lips. letting out an amused chuckle, sylus removes the single petal from your lips. he takes a moment to admire it before pressing a kiss against it.
warmth courses through your veins at the sight as you lean up to frame at his face. with the single petal now floating away, he captures your lips in a sweet kiss before landing with you against the pile of flowers-
a sudden memory resurfaces, of dragon wings and the scent of datura flowers filling at the air as the crimson petals danced in the wind.
caught in a sweet dance, zayne takes your hand and guides you around the gazebo. with your dress flowing around you, you felt as though you were living in a fairytale.
surrounding you were the dizzying scent of flowers coupled along with the cheerful chirping of the birds. unbidden joy courses through you, with your arms wrapped around zayneâs neck (like it was the most natural thing in the world.)
his hands wraps themselves behind the small of your back, bringing you achingly close to him. his eyes were brimming with an unspoken devotion to you as zayne leans forward to capture your lips in a sweet kiss. the faint taste of macarons fills at your senses each time zayne moves his lips oh so lovingly against yours-
making all of your dreams come true within that single moment.
you swore that you lived to see xavierâs pouting face each time you pressed a kiss against your favorite plushieâs face, holding the bunny so close to your chest even as xavier tackles you back against the cushions.
he hovers over you, half-lidded gaze taking in your playful expression while looking at your slightly parted lips. with a gentle sigh of your name, your beloved leans in closer to you, ready to share a sweet kiss-
only to let out a grunt of disapproval when his lips met with the toy bunnyâs face.
feigning a look of annoyance, xavier takes the plushie in his hand and embraces it for a few seconds before playfully punching it. his actions earn a gasp from you, and when you reach out to save your precious baby-
only to have xavier interlock your fingertips together with his, bringing you closer as your lips met with his. he kept you locked in a passionate kiss, with him silently begging you to open up to him. feeling the tip of his tongue pushing against your lips, you slowly open up to him-
the plush long forgotten now, you delve your fingers into his hair, pulling him closer to you as you lay back whilst surrounded by the scent of him and spring flowers in full bloom.
the scent of wisterias were thick in the air as the petals blew over rafayelâs open sketchbook. his sketch was forgotten the moment you lay down with him on the grass, your fingertips gently tracing at his features.
the lemurian finds himself leaning into your touch, eyes taking in the beautiful sight of your smiling face. turning away from you for a brief moment, he sees a tiny wildflower with white petals and picks it. holding up the gentle bloom to you, you half expected rafayel to fasten it above your ear-
yet was left pleasantly surprised when he ends up placing it on your lips. only catching a glimpse of his playful expression, you gasp upon feeling him kiss you, moving the soft flower against your lips to cause a gentle friction you had never felt before.
and you quickly became addicted to it.
with your eyes clenched shut, you bask in the sensation of his kisses, never wanting this moment to end.
caleb had never looked so happy-
so free before this very moment-
and you wanted to burn this memory into your mind, never wishing to forget.
the boat sways within the lake, yet you found it comforting to lay in it with your beloved colonel. you had no idea how many hours he spent making sure your spring date was perfect-
ensuring your happiness above all else.
your whispered promises of forever lingers within the air when caleb takes you within his embrace, placing a kiss against your hair while softly calling you by name. you meet his gaze, feeling your heart racing at the sight of his crooked grin.
moments pass, and when you kept looking at him with such a soft expression, something shifted within him,
with his gaze narrowed, caleb leans closer to you, capturing your lips in a passionate kiss while under the canopy of the moss and trees.
{ you can say that iâm a fool and i don't know very much | but i think they call this love | oh, i think they call this love. }

Warnings: MINORS DON'T INTERACT, 18+, sex pollen, affected to pollen and subtle reluctance, size kink, overstimulation, fingering, big leaking orcđ.
Part 2 here. 𩷠This is a completed 3-Part series that was once exclusive on Patreοn! Have fun reading.
The sun was setting over the dense forest, spreading shadows across the clearing that you and your orc coworker, Grom, had been exploring. He worked for you in the village, helping you in the business you owned, a shop that offered spices, herbs, and other medicines. You had headed out to harvest herbs during the day, like you had done numerous times before.
Only at that time had you ventured into an area of the forest that you had not previously explored. You wanted to study some uncommon flora, and despite your reservations, Grom had followed, insisting that you not go into untouched areas of the forest alone.
He was such a sweetheart. But you didnât dare tell him that or show your attraction to him.
Truth be told, you'd always been drawn to him, ever since he walked into your shop and asked for a job. Everyone warned you against it, but something about his dark gaze and velvety voice swayed you. And why should you hire him? Humans and orcs finally coexisted; after years of war and conflict, both races had begun to accept each other. You saw no reason not to try to accept that concept and support them.
He had since become your trusted assistant and a great coworker to have around. He gladly learned from you, and despite the initial terror he instilled in the customers when he first started working, he was now relaxed. Everyone had accepted him, swayed by your kindness and generosity to him. Grom was tall and muscular, his muscles were prominent even under his clothes. His look was slightly rough, with a rugged and scarred face and large tusks protruding from his mouth. However, he was friendly and truly engaged in his work.
He was precious and youâd never risk ruining the balance of your relationship because of your romantic feelings for him.
You smiled to yourself and returned your attention to the forest, exploring the flora and listening to the birds' songs. You bent here and there, touching plants, rooting out herbs, and carefully placing them in your basket. A weird violet plant drew your attention. It was gorgeous. Bright, pure purple with white dots and a rich, sweet aroma that floated to your nostrils.
He joined you with a grumble, and at that moment, a burst of pollen exploded from the plantâs petals, creating a thick cloud that surrounded you both. You coughed and waved your hands in the air to dispel the thick pollen. Grom cursed out and grabbed your elbow, dragging you as far away as he could from the plant. His hold was powerful, his face set in a grimace, his torso taut, muscles tight beneath his thick skin.
You hardly had time to act before you felt itâa peculiar sensation, like a thousand small sparks igniting across your skin.
"What⌠whatâs happening?" You breathed as he cursed again, his big hands brushing the yellowish pollen off your clothes.
"I donât know. Stay still," he rumbled, his voice deep and protective, though you could see the uncertainty in his eyes.
âThat plantââ You bit back a whine because the tingling grew stronger. âI thought it was a simple flower, butââ
This time, you couldn't help but whimper. Your body felt unusually hot, goosebumps rising on your skin. You rubbed your thighs together, realizing you were soaked, your pussy tingling and gushing slick. Grom was also affected; although he had stepped away, you could hear his rapid breathing. He didn't look at you, but he was sweating, and his green cheeks were flushed. His fingers rubbed his face, as if trying to understand what was happening.
A deep, rumbling groan escaped him. "Feels⌠strange.â He clenched his fists. "Like fire under my skin."
You felt the same way, a fact that added to the heat that had now soaked your thighs. The tingling gradually gave way to a warm sensation that extended throughout your body. Your nipples felt tight, and heat spread in your chest before moving down, making you weak in the knees. Your breathing quickened, your skin became hypersensitive, and every contact of the air against you seemed like a caress.
You wanted to take off your clothes; the mere scratch of your clothes against your flesh filled you with aching need.
"GromâŚ" You tried to stand up to distract yourself from the heat, but you staggered. He caught you before you could fall, his large hands wrapping around you. You sighed at the pleasant sensation of his touch.
"Something's⌠wrong. I feel⌠hot. So hot.â
"I know." His voice was tight, like he was barely holding on. "I feel it too."
For quite some time, neither of you moved. His deep green eyes fixed on yours, full of the same uncertainty and yearning that you felt. The air between you was charged, your bodies infused with the weird power of pollen. He was still holding you, but there was moreâsomething primitive boiling beneath the surface, something you both wanted to explore.
"We should⌠we should leave," he said, though his voice was a whisper.
You both nodded, but didn't move.
His breath came out in thick, labored pants, and you could see his eyes darken and rake over your body. His hands massaged your back slowly, causing your frame to melt into his. He growled low and menacingly, but you were not afraid. The warmth between you increased, and the tingling intensified, until every nerve in your body screamed for relief.
"Thisâ ahhâthis⌠is getting stronger." You gulped hard, your heart racing in your chest. "I think it's a sex pollen plant. They're so unusual and uncommon in book historyâ" you swallowed as another wave of warmth pulsed through your clit. "Its effects are overwhelming. The tension and need are unbearable."
âWe must go back,â he said, his voice barely more than a growl. Still, he didnât stop stroking your back.
"Canât⌠ahhhaâ" you whined, feeling your body betraying you, leaning toward him. ââM sorryââ
"Those sweet sounds you make," he murmured, his breath brushing against your neck. You closed your eyes, trembling at his warmth. Then he straightened up, releasing his grip on you and rising to his feet.
"We must leave,â he snapped. âSeek treatment.â
You chuckled. When it came to sex pollen, there was only one remedy: ride it out. And he knew it as well. You wanted to resist the pull of pollen. But you couldn't deny the heat and desireâthe portion that wanted nothing more than to give in. To ask him to touch you and let you feel his strength surrounding you. Allow the sex pollen to take you both.
"Can you stand up?" he asked, his back to you.
Humming at him, you triedâstruggledâto stand. You lost your balance when a sharp tinkling slammed against your clit, and fell down. The fall was gentle because his powerful arms had embraced you. You bit your lip to hide the delight at his touch, and opened your eyes to meet his ardent look. His face was now inches from yours, his pupils fully dilated, the warmth of his breath mingling with your own.
Damn⌠he was affected. Much more than you.
"If you can't moveâŚ" His grip tightened slightly, and you noticed a flare of green fire in his eyes. "Then we have to ride it out. Together."
"Yes. Please," you replied, your heart pumping in your chest. "Together."
Your fingers tightened into his arm, squeezing tightly as another wave of tingling warmth washed over you. It wasn't just warmth; it was fire, lighting up every inch of your body in ways you'd never experienced before. Every feeling was heightened, the air on your skin causing you to shudder with need.
âGromâŚâ your voice cracked, âI⌠I canât⌠PleaseâŚâ The word came out in a strained whisper, scarcely audible, but that was all you could manage. Your face flushed with embarrassment, but you couldn't stop the words from coming out.
"You don't understand," he grumbled. "I'm also affected, and it's too much. "I can't... I can't think. I can't stop it. My control is slipping, and I am afraid of..."
âPlease, Grom⌠I need⌠I need you."
"I know, love," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "I can feel it, too. I can smell your arousal. You smell so good, little one."
You whimpered when you heard the endearment. He never called you sweet nicknames. He was always professional and serious, but oh, how you loved the sound of "my little one" on his lips. You wanted to hear him repeat it every day.
Body on fire, you grasped him, every inch of you crying for release. More liquid warmth gathered low in your belly, soaking your panties and trousers while your legs trembled.
A rumbling growl sounded in his chest. "Fuuuck, you smell amazing. You're sure?" he asked, his composure melting. "You have to be sure, little one. I do not want to hurt you. "I'm bigger, different than you."
You nodded frantically, your nails digging into his shoulders. ââM sure,â you whimpered, trembling against him.
âYou can take my orc cock?â he drawled, thoroughly enjoying you dripping and shivering all over.
âHmm! Can and will take it. I need you⌠I canâtâoh gods, I canât hold on anymore.â
Gromâs eyes flared at your words, his hands gripping your waist tighter as if trying to ground himself. His jaw tensed and he inhaled deeply through his nose, his massive chest rising and falling with ragged breaths. Finally, the last shred of his restraint snapped, and his eyes darkened with a brew of desire and resolve.
His large hands moved up to cup your face, pulling you in closer. âThen Iâll help you, my little one. Iâll make it right.â
His lips crashed down on yours with a hunger that matched your own. You moaned lewdly and hugged him, squeezing your sensitive breasts against his chest, sighing at the pleasurable friction. Careful not to hurt you with his tusks, his tongue slipped in your mouth, tasting you. Your tongue played with his, dancing in a come hither motion. The kiss was rough, needy, and moist, with his hands roaming your body, your hands tangling in his thick hair as you kissed him back with fervor.
The haze around you thickened, the warmth from the pollen seeping deeper into your bodies. You fit together like puzzle pieces, the electric spark between you growing stronger, the pollen amplifying every sensation tenfold.
Unable to withstand the layers of clothes separating you, you dragged off your clothes, impatiently tugging at them while keeping your mouths fused. He assisted, his hands ripping fabric apart until you were both naked, heated skin against heated skin. Grom groaned into your mouth, his hands roaming your body, kneading the soft flesh of your shoulders, your breasts, your soft belly and hips before sliding lower.
Sitting back on his haunches, he lifted you easily, pulling you to straddle his massive frame, your legs spreading on either side of his hard thighs. His chest was warm and solid against yours, his heartbeat thunderous, matching the wild rhythm of your own. His cock jutted up against your belly, huge and veined, leaking moisture.
You were struck at the differences in your physiques, even with him kneeling back and you riding him, you could barely reach his shoulders, and his cock was just as large and proportionate to his size, pulsating up your heaving breasts and dribbling pre-cum on your nipples. Enjoying the same sight, he cupped your asscheeks and pulled them apart, keeping his massive cock snuggled against your breasts.
You moaned when a thick finger brushed against your heat, tickling the aching that had developed since the pollen touched you. As he circled your pussy, you could hear his finger making obscene sounds, teasing your dripping folds and tracing your hole. He opened your outer labia and you gasped, your body arching under his touch, desperate for more.
âGods,â he growled, thrusting his finger past the resistance of your body. âFuuuckâ so tightâŚYouâre driving me wild, little one.â
âPlease, Grom,â you begged again, wiggling your waist to urge him to pump that blessed finger that stayed deep in your depths. âI need you now.â
He chuckled and curled his finger inside you. âPatience, sweetheart. You are so little. Your pussy canât take me yet.â
âI can! I canât take you, always wanted toââ you stopped, realizing what youâd revealed.
âYou always wanted me to fuck you?â He filled your sentence as he fingered you slowly, gathering your wetness and spreading it all over your cunt and clit.
You swallowed hard. âHmm⌠always wanted you. I always feel so attracted to you.â
âOh, sweetheartâŚâ he moaned, kissing you sloppily. âIâve wanted you every day. Wanted to rip your clothes apart, lick you from head to toe and thrust my dick in that sweet-scented pussy of yours. Iâll fuck you todayâ more than once, and youâll be mine,â he whispered, his voice rough but tender. âMine. My mate.â
You nodded, your breath hitching when he added a second finger inside you. âIâm yours,â you whispered back, your voice trembling with need. âPlease⌠make me feel whole again.â
With that, the world around you vanished, leaving nothing but immense pleasure that surged up your body and burst forth in a fine explosion. You rode his fingers, kissed him, and held him for dear life. You could hear your loud moans, his rough groans as he finger-fucked you, and the lewd sounds you made with all the juices pouring down your thighs. It was heavenâno, it felt better than heaven. And all you wanted to do was lose yourself in it and let him transport you both into a world of pure, unmistakable yearning.
