paige bueckers x fem!reader hcs !
warning(s): none ! (sfw)
she's so attentive like you can obviously tell during her interviews so she loves listening to what you have to say. it doesn't even have to be a serious or heavy conversation. you could be talking about the weather and she'd be so tuned in like she's in love fr
date nights are mostly chill and cozy vibes. like you'll have movie nights or go to the beach if it's nice out. sometimes you'll stay in an do karaoke cause paige swears up and down that she can sing like sza. but then again paige loves spending quality time with you so she considers everything you do together a date
she'll point to you and say "this is for you" before she shoots the ball (she makes it of course) and then smooch at you
has a playlist dedicated just for you on her public apple music account with songs that remind her of you. it's mostly rnb vibes and "love" by keysha cole is the first song on there
calls you "princess"
like i said before she's big on physical touch so she likes to give back hugs and shoulder kisses
also clingy as hell... if she's had a busy day with school and/or practice and hasn't seen you in a while, prepare to be suffocated by her the second she she's you
paige always thinks she's right so you two are always arguing (nothing too serious just dumb stuff mostly)
"you did not just say drake's best album is 'thank me later'..."
if the argument is serious and she's mad at you or vice versa, it literally never lasts more than five minutes because she hates not seeing you happy. she'll even admit she's wrong
she'll wrap her long arms around you as you face the opposite direction with your arms crossed and a frown on your face. she bends down to place a kiss on the side of your face before her head falls into the crook of your neck. "i'm sorry..."
damn near forces you to play fortnite with her and hypes you up every time you get a kill. she'll be so proud of you too with a stupid smile on her face as she watches you play
all her tiktok drafts are full of those cheesy ass slideshows about your relationship but she makes sure to post the 'what's up riri/what's up rocky' one publicly for everyone to see how cute yall are
she's definitely not one of those people who controls what their s/o wears so if you want to wear something revealing, she'll be all for it
very protective but not to the point where it's consuming or overwhelming. like if you're walking on the sidewalk she'll always make sure she's on the side closest to the street
when it comes to gifts she loves to do the most. like she already loves spoiling you so if it's christmas or valentines day she'll be stressing about making sure your gift is perfect. she's lowkey a romantic too so she'll get you the traditional red roses and scatter rose petals along the floor in your bedroom, and then gets red faced when you tease her about how 'corny' it is (you love it tho)
on the more sensitive side she lets her guard down around you. if she's upset about anything she'll vent to you or cry it out as you rub her back and wipe her tears
calls you her "wife" especially when referring to you while talking to other people like yall are so locked in
pls lemme know if you want more or send some requests thru my asks lmao

something was different. neither of you could put your finger on it, but the atmosphere felt like you were crossing new territories. with your fingers tangled in lisa's hair and pulling at the roots (just as she liked it), you let out small breaths. you felt light and wet kisses being placed on your neck, reaching every crevice and vein that hid beneath your hot skin.
maybe it was the room temperature that made it feel different this time? after all, you did forget to turn the heat on before you decided to go off to bed.
but your girlfriend had other plans.
stressed out from work and a global pandemic that wasn't getting any better, you knew lisa needed a way to let out the stress that was slowly but surely building up inside of her. as she touched you, it felt as if you could feel the stress radiating off of her.
"tell me exactly what you want."
pulled from your thoughts, you now noticed that the kisses on your neck ceased. across from you, breathing heavily with messy brown hair and wet lips, lisa sat staring down at you. her hand resting against your marked neck, her thumb caressing the skin behind your ear. her eyes were dark despite the dim light in your room. you were still clothed, but she looked at you as if you were bare, showing her everything you had to offer.
you stared back with uneven breaths. you could feel yourself dripping with arousal between your panties with just one look from her. she had barely even touched you yet. matter-of-fact, it's been nearly a month since the both of you had done more than fingering. nothing more than a quickie at least. you've both been incredibly busy, especially because of lisa's hectic work schedule.
a sudden burst of confidence encouraged you to place your hands on your girlfriend's shoulders, switching positions so that she was laid beneath you. lisa didn't have any time to react before you were straddling her waist, one hand on the headboard above the both of you while the other softly gripped her jaw. you tilted her head up, not too far, but far enough to expose some of her unmarked neck. her hands surprisingly stayed by her side, normally she would be the one to dominate, but you felt like changing things up. for now at least.
"what do you want?." you spoke slowly. under her soft but messy bangs, you could see her pupils double in size. you could feel lisa slightly shift under you, her eyes still on you. she smirked, or at least tried to since your grip on her jaw was restricting some of her face movement.
"you think you can dominate me, huh?" she said with a smile, her eyebrows turned upwards in curiosity and humor. "that's cute".
letting out a breath, you shook your head. although lisa seemed to be letting you take control, you knew it wouldn't last long. She never shied away from telling you that she loved watching you come undone beneath her.
"shut up." you told her before leaning down and connecting her lips with yours. your grip on her jaw lessened, moving your hand to rest above her clothed breast. even through the fabric you could feel the cold metal that pierced through her hard nipple. with your mouths still moving together, lisa's hands slid up the side of your thighs and gripped your warm skin. you contemplated on letting her touch you, but decided to let her.
strawberries? or maybe cherries? whatever food lisa previously ate, you could taste it as your tongue heavily mixed with hers.
the pad of your thumb and index finger squeezed her nipple through the fabric of her shirt, making her hips grind up into yours from below. you did it again, this time including her whole breast in your hand and squeezed.
"mmh, more." lisa demanded between your kisses. you could even hear the neediness behind her voice. opening your eyes and slightly pulling away, you watched as she tried to chase after your lips with her swollen ones, her eyes were hooded and dark. a nearly invisible line of saliva hung from your lip to hers, before eventually breaking apart from your growing distance.
this look.
this look on her face is exactly what you wanted. you wanted more of it. more of her needing you and relying on you to make her feel good. maybe you should've considered dominating ages ago.
instead of kissing her again, you never broke eye contact with her as you slowly made your way down her body. your lips stopped right between her two breasts while you used your hand to slowly lift her shirt off. she lifted her arms and helped you get it off of her. finally off, the shirt was thrown above your head and somewhere on the floor. you leaned down, still keeping eye contact, and placed a few kisses in the valley of her breasts.
you continued watching as her cocky persona was fading away. her smirk was now replaced with open lips, breathing unevenly. her eyes watched yours in return, watching as you let your tongue swirl around her nipple. you could feel her shiver and you smiled lightly from earning a reaction from her. you repeated the action a few more times while your hand attended to her other breast, until you took the silver metal in her nipple and softly pulled at it with your teeth.
"fuck...", lisa whined from underneath you. she let her head fall back for a moment, eyes still half closed. "do that again."
knowing just how sensitive her nipples were, you obeyed and applied a bit more pressure this time. not too much where it hurt, but you're sure if it did she wouldn't mind at all. you secretly knew she had a pain kink.
you left a trail of saliva from your tongue, licking and sucking around her bud, giving the same attention to her other breast as well. her soft moaning and the feeling of her hands squeezing the covered flesh on your thighs sent heat waves that went straight between your legs. to ease some of the tension, you grinded down on her pelvis. your clit coming in contact with her naked thigh made you bite down a moan.
but you stopped when you felt a hand grab your chin, making you look up to face her.
"take your clothes off."
you didn't hesitate to listen and reach towards the hem of the grey shirt you had on, crossing your arms as you gripped the ends and pulled it above your head quickly. the look on her face didn't go unnoticed as she admired your body. you weren't one to be insecure and shy away from her looks because you knew how much your body affected her. you loved your body and so did she. that's all that matters.
with your shirt discarded, you moved onto your boxer shorts which you had no problem sliding down your legs. a second hadn't passed before you were flipped over, your back now touching the soft bedsheets. your eyes met hers again and you could see her dominant side slipping back in.
well, it was fun while it lasted, you thought.
lisa scanned your body underneath her, almost as if she was trying to take a mental picture of what she was seeing. as her sparkling eyes met yours, her fingertips traced your warm skin starting from your jawline and continuing downwards until her index finger touched your pierced navel.
"you're so beautiful", lisa murmured, stringing along more compliments under her breath.
you've known the thai girl for at least three years now, yet every time those words slip from her soft lips, the same tingling feeling erupts in the pit of your stomach. you were never one to get flustered easily and lisa knew exactly how to change that.
watching as she continued her movements, you let your eyes flutter shut when you felt her touch the inside of your thigh. you could feel her body shuffle downwards and settle between your open legs. she easily grabbed your legs and moved them up to hang around her broad shoulders. her hand rested on your belly while the other drew small random shapes on your skin.
"don't fucking tease me", a short huff left your lips.
lisa lightly laughed, her breath instantly hitting your sensitive cunt. a shudder ran through your body, not going unnoticed by your girlfriend. she didn't respond but instead advert her attention to between your thighs. without wasting another moment, lisa pressed a kiss to your exposed clit, starting off slow and steady like she always did.
eye contact was something you and lisa always loved during sex. lisa couldn't stand it if you dared to break it for more than five seconds. it was like neither of you needed to speak to understand exactly how you felt. and as you felt her flat tongue slide vertically against your slit, gathering your arousal, your eyes remained in contact.
it wasn't until lisa started to suck on your clit that you broke the contact with a loud moan. you threw your head back onto the pillow and blindly reached for your girlfriend's dark hair. your fingers gripped her roots and tugged, causing lisa to let out a moan of her own against your cunt. lisa could sense how desperate you were becoming the way your fingernails were dragging against her, trying to bring her closer to where you were craving her the most. a smirk grew on her lips as she used one of her fingers to play at your opening, teasing you just a little bit.
lisa watched as you continued to shudder at her movements, but frowned as you kept your hooded gaze on the ceiling. Quickly, she lifted her hand that was pressing on your stomach and smacked it against the side of your ass.
"eyes.", she warned you.
"more", you breathed out and finally lifted your head to meet her gaze. "fingers... need them."
Deciding to give in to your request, lisa let her middle finger slide through your slick arousal, and from that moment you knew you wouldn't last very long. Starting with two fingers, she slid them both in and out, bending them at the knuckles to find that spot she knew all too well. Her mouth found your clit again and sucked.
"lis- fuck", your stomach churned at the building sensation you felt at the pit of your stomach. lisa's tongue continued to thrash and lick simultaneously with the movement of her long fingers.
"you taste so- mmph", lisa began to pull away to speak until the grip your thighs had around her neck forced her mouth back to your pussy. hips grinding against her face, she fought back a smile as she witnessed you falling apart.
words weren't necessary. lisa knew every single inch of your body, how it worked, what it craved, and what it took for you to come undone. so the moment your hips stilled and your moans became inaudible, she kept her pace and flicked the tip of her tongue against your swollen clit. you watched each other as you came undone. lisa's hair was messy with her bangs out of place, her dark eyes watching you intensely, her mouth and fingers still helping you ride out your orgasm.
the wave rushed over you just as quickly as it began. your body starts to go limp and your heartbeat slowly begins to reduce. it wasn't until you felt a sharp but light graze against your swollen bud that you regained some of your consciousness. lisa had lightly bit your clit.
"lisa, what the hell?!" you aimed your hand to smack the side of her head playfully. your thighs had loosened their grip on her so she was able to dodge it quickly.
she laughed. "i'm sorry!"
her laugh died out shorty as she took in the sight of your body again. it wasn't long until the fingers that were slick from your gushing arousal found their way into her mouth. she moaned, sucking her own fingers and taking them back out with a 'pop'. she leaned down over you and placed one hand by the side of your head while the other touched your lips. "open."
you obliged and watched as lisa pushed her wet fingers inside of your mouth. she slowly retracted them, eyeing the string of saliva still connecting her fingers to your mouth. "i almost came just from watching you. you're so sexy."
you didn't say anything in response. well, at least not verbally. lisa's new position exposed her full torso and it was doing something to you. her prominent abs in full view, leading up to her pierced breasts. your eyes didn't linger long as much as you wanted. lisa's lips were back on yours within seconds. she maneuvered her legs in between yours and completely hovered over you. her hand blindly finding yours and guiding it between your merging bodies. she stopped when both of your hands cupped her soaking cunt.
lisa pulled your lips away by centimeters, leaving her just barely enough room to talk. "this is what you do to me."
a moan left your lips as you felt the impact you left on her body. you could see lisa's eyes fluttering close as your lingering fingers brushed past her aching clit. regaining the little strength you had left in your body, you switched your position so that you were on top of lisa. her black hair fanned out around her head against the colored pillows. she let you position her legs so that your pelvis was pressing right against hers. you held onto her thigh with your hand as she moved her unoccupied hands to your hips. her body shuddered as you began to move against her wet slick.
"ah fuck..." lisa breathed out. her face starting to turn a red shade as she felt the pleasure recoil from between her thighs. catching her in a raw moment of complete bliss, you stared in awe as you watched lisa. her eyes closing briefly after she shuddered in pleasure.
lisa's hip movement began to match yours as you both worked your way to a climax. both of your moans mixing together in perfect harmony. your eyes met again. lisa's mouth was left open and her eyebrows furred in concentration. your free hand reached down to grab her breast, giving it a squeeze before you pinched her hardened nipple. she pulled her bottom lip in between her lip and bit down. each thrust against each other became harder and you felt the all too familiar heat in the pit of your stomach.
sweat dripped down the side of your face as your movements quickened. "i'm gonna cum."
within seconds, lisa's thumb meets your clit once again. the pad of it rubbing against you in a circular motion and bringing you to a high. lisa watched you come undone as she did the same. her hips jutting upwards and meeting yours. you felt weightless. your body went limp for a second time as you rode out your high against lisa.
both of your movements stilled after a few more seconds. you let your body crash down beside lisa almost instantly. exhaustion was washing over you. as if she could read your mind, lisa turned towards you and pecked your lips with hers.
"one more."
immediately you shooed her away and turned your body to lie on your stomach. your response was almost incomprehensible due to your head mushed against the pillow. "i can't. too much."
"i know you can. you've done way more than two in one night", lisa teased.
your vision was still obstructed by your current position but you knew lisa had moved from her previous spot. you heard her opening the drawer.
once again you didn't verbalize a response.
the bed shifted from underneath you. lisa had positioned her legs on each side of your hips. she leaned down and used her hand to move your hair to one side of your face, exposing your ear. "i'll do all the work. just lay there and look pretty for me, okay?"
you shivered at her breath hitting the sensitive skin of your ear. her hand had started absentmindedly massaging random spots on your backside. turning your head to the side, you nodded in agreement. her raspy voice and the toy strapped to her waist that was resting against your ass brought back that throbbing sensation between your thighs.
lisa smiled and left a kiss on your cheek. her hand trailed down the spine of your back until it reached your ass. she didn't hesitate to give it a squeeze. her fingers found your wet cunt once again and began to spread your slickness around, preparing your body a little more for what was to come. a few moments later, you felt lisa's hand leave your body, only to return as you felt the toy push into you slowly.
your mouth fell open in a moan as you felt the girth of the strap open you up the more lisa pushed forward. "lisa"
she stopped halfway before pulling back and repeating her actions. her eyes watching you as you physically reacted to her slow thrusts. "feel good?"
it was a dumb question because you knew lisa already knew the answer. you didn't have to see her face to know there was a big cocky smirk on her face.
"yes- mmm fuck!", you felt lisa push deeper. her frontside nearly flush against your backside. "more."
lisa bent her head down and placed kisses along your shoulder as she began speeding up her thrusts. each one was harder than the previous one and you whimpered at each one.
you were trapped and lisa had you right where she wanted you. only your arms, which were currently gripping the pillow beneath you, were able to move without having to apply too much force. your eyes squeezed shut as you felt everything she had to give you. the power of her thrusts, the feeling of her nipples brushing against your naked back, the soft bites she was making on your skin; you felt overstimulated.
lisa lifted her head up and brought another kiss to the side of your mouth. "you're doing so good for me."
you responded in a string of moans. the ability to form english at this point seemed impossible as lisa continued driving into you. her flexibility allowed her to reach different angles. the same heat you felt between your thighs ten minutes ago revisiting again.
"สวยมาก (so pretty)" lisa reached up to grip the hair on the back of your head and pulled to expose your face. "คุณดูเซ็กซี่มากภายใต้ฉัน" (you look so sexy underneath of me)"
lisa's words sent more waves of pleasure to your pussy. the sound of it gushing against lisa's strap made that evident. a few moments later, her movements ceased and you felt her pull out. you felt a weird sensation as the cold air hit your pussy. an arm wrapped around your body as lisa turned you onto your back. her eyes meeting your watery ones. using her hands to keep your legs open, she slowly guided the purple toy back into your messy cunt.
"i want to see your face when you cum."
your hands instantly found their way to the sheets beneath you, gripping them tightly as you felt lisa fill you up all over again. this time, her eyes focused on yours. she leaned down and left a kiss on your nose before pressing another one to your forehead. it wasn't long before her lips started kissing nearly every inch of your face. her hips moving at a slower, but harder pace now.
your arms wrapped around her neck and legs tightly wrapped around her waist, aiding her with her thrusts. "i'm close, lisa."
"i know." lisa kept her steady rhythm while her one hand started caressing the inside of your thigh. her pelvis grinding against your clit which caused you to jerk against her. your legs began to shake and your head involuntarily fell back against the pillow.
"look at me", lisa was quick to reach up and grab the back of your head and force you to look at her when you hadn't listened.
you held eye contact again as you felt your third orgasm rip through your body almost violently. it took everything in you to keep your eyes on her and not let them roll to the back of your head. her intensifying gaze on you as you came made your orgasm a hundred times more powerful. your mouth left agape and a tear finally fell from your watery eyes. lisa wiped it before it could get any far.
still thrusting to help you ride it out, lisa watched your body's jerks lessen more and more as the seconds went by. when your body fell limp against her hold. she slowly pulled out and slid down your worn-out body. her face found its way to its favorite place between your legs and she took a swipe of her tongue against your wet pussy before you could comprehend anything. you jumped at the overstimulation.
"ah!", you still don't know if you can form any words after the orgasms you just had, so you played it safe with just one word at a time. "sensitive."
lisa smiled and kissed her way up your body. her reply was muffled against your skin. "sorry. just wanted to taste you one more time."

——————————————————————————
Hiding behind a mask was something you were accustomed to. Your friend group and family were clueless to the torment you endured from simply existing. You were confident your masking had convinced the world you were happy with yourself. Unbeknown to you, one other person saw straight through your façade.
You wanted to end your life.
He needed you to cherish your life.
Nothing looked familiar. The café you frequented was nowhere to be found. Your usual hangout was most definitely not on the side of town you found yourself in. You felt anxiety slowly curl its way around your body, you were frigid. You tried and tried but couldn’t find it in yourself to run.
You lived in the more friendly part of town (so to speak) – where houses were colourful, gardens pristine, warm-hearted neighbours who would treat you like family and white picket fences are what surrounded you. That was your norm, sure, you weren’t exactly loaded but you weren’t exactly poor either. It was a healthy balance in the middle. That’s not to say you hadn’t lived or seen this side of town before.
Your Mother and Father had grown up on this side of the fence. Two young people brought up in the rougher, more unfortunate areas. Your Mother was tough; she looked like a naïve, weak girl, albeit that was not the case. She was strong willed, used to life on the streets and doing anything she could to get money to make sure there was at least some food on the table. While your Mum was the leader, your Dad was more of a sheep. He was easily influenced and was dragged into the wrong crowd (had his fair share with drugs and street racing). That was their life for a few years till they crossed paths and your Mum helped your Dad get back on the right track.
They didn’t tell you much about their childhood and adolescence but they told you enough to make you appreciate what you have and to always work hard for it. To stick with the right people, be wise and conscious of your decisions. Be kind to those around you.
Your family owned a garage; your Dad was the head mechanic. This was the sole reason you were here. You knew it wouldn’t be simple when you agreed to go to this side of town to get a few bits for your Father’s shop. However, you didn’t expect it to be this difficult. How could you be so stupid? Why didn’t you just ask Hoseok and Yoongi to come with you like your father told you to? Or at least tell them where you were… yet you decided today of all days to be stubborn and venture on yourself, knowing full well how unsafe the area was. There were rundown businesses on either side of the road, beggars at every doorstep; drug dealings happening in broad daylight, no one even trying to hide it.
You felt your phone buzz in your pocket, you took it out and sighed a breath of relief once you’d read the texts.
14:37— From Papa: U ok munchkin ??? Did u get the stuff ?
14:39— From Papa: its ok if u didnt. Yoongs rang said hes got majority this morning lol so be safe n get home soon . Love u
14:40— To Papa: ohhh ok pops, i couldn’t find the shop anyway lol i’ll head back soon, love u too x
*LOW BATTERY*
“Fuck, trust me to forget to charge the bastard.” You rolled your eyes as you stuffed the phone back in your pocket.
Muffled shouting was heard around you. People ran across the street, bumping into you as they ran past. You gathered yourself and moved further down the path. “Great!” you exasperated, “honestly I’m so fucking stupid! Yoongi’s gonna kill me for this, I knew, I knew I should’ve told him I was coming over here but no,” your head was hung low as you dragged your feet across the pavement, “maybe I could tell Hobi, he wouldn’t be as angry right? I’m sure he’ll come,“ A sudden scream ripped you out of your chuntering. You whipped your head to the right, you could make out some figures bustling about in front of you, a group of men were quite clearly fighting… your anxiety struck you and you held your breath as you saw a man pull a knife from the waistband of his sweatpants. All thoughts and common sense seemed to leave all at once. Statue like, feet stuck to the ground. You watched on as the group rushed towards the brown haired man, you scanned his figure: tall, broad, confident… he exuded an intimidating aura even when you were this far away from him.
How could someone be so sure of themselves? It was one against five, surely the loner had no chance?
The glistening of the knife brought you back to your senses. Fucking hell. How do you always end up in these situations when you’re alone? Why me? Why? Good Lord, I need to run. Just as you were about to leave, the group who were arguing charged past you; one gripped his side as another supported his weight. Holy fuck, did he stab him? you stood frozen, yet again, your mind raced a mile a minute. Panic bubbled in your chest.
“You okay there Doll?” His voice was deep, velvet-like. It flowed so smoothly you doubted it was real, it was so soothing like it had wrapped itself around you, embracing your body. You heard his footsteps before he planted himself beside you. His shoulder reached the top of your head, his hand brushed yours. Swallowing your nerves you dared a glance up. He was fucking breath-taking, like a fallen angel. The stranger shot you a small smile that you would’ve easily missed had you not been staring at his features… a blush crept up your neck as you nodded. His smile slowly twisted into a smirk.
Cute, Taehyung thought to himself. Couldn’t help but adore the way you slightly trembled under his gaze, the way your hands gripped and twisted your sweater paws. Almost like a puppy. He cleared his throat and reached his hand to yours, “Sorry, I should’ve introduced myself. I’m Taehyung.” you took his hand into yours, apprehensively you greeted him, “I’m Y/N.”
“Ah, Y/N. I haven’t seen you round here before, you new or something?” Taehyung cocked his head to the side, his eyes seemed to stare right through you.
“Uhm, I don’t live here. I live over the other part of Town… I was just grabbing some stuff for my Dad but, my phones about to die. I have no idea where I am or how to get home, I’m sorry, I promise I didn’t see anything!” a deep chuckle cut you off, Taehyung smiled and beckoned you to follow him.
“Come on Y/N, you’re not suited for this side of Town, I’ll walk you back. A pretty little thing like you, you’re easy prey to these guys.” your feet fell into a cautious pace behind him, he glanced over his shoulder, “hurry up Buttercup, I don’t bite.” Taehyung flashed a boxy grin in your direction, which caused you to speed up ever so slightly.
You were unsure how you felt about letting a complete stranger walk you home, Yoongi would definitely kill you for this. Especially with the recent news of some serial killer named ‘Jigsaw’, Yoongi and Hoseok had been very stern and their usual, overprotective selves when the news had broken out. “It’s on every headline Y/Nie! No more leaving the house on yourself, you need to go anywhere you ring either of us. Got it? Don’t talk to anyone you don’t know either. There’s some dodgy fucks about recently.” Although, you loved them dearly, sometimes their protectiveness was a...little overbearing. You already felt suffocated from your parents (you didn’t need it from your best friends as well). They were happy and believed you to be too; but that was exhausting, faking happiness. You had a constant façade, acted like a happy normal teenager with a happy family; when that was far from the truth.
Drowning. That’s how you’d explain the way you felt. Breathing was difficult and brought you more pain than it was worth. Growing up was tedious, you had grown differently to your peers which only brought ridicule and embarrassment for you. You had struggled with your speech (sometimes you still do), you often stuttered, mispronounced words, the list was endless. That was one of the first reasons you were a castaway. As you grew, the ridicule worsened. Verbal abuse turned physical from your classmates. They made you feel like you were a waste of space. The names they called you, you soon started to believe them. Ugly. Weird. Freak. Stupid. They took root in your brain, slowly they grew and grew till your head was overgrown with twisted, rotten weeds.
Eventually, you sought comfort in blood. You didn’t care that it hurt you; you were almost happy to feel pain. Like you deserved to.
By age 14, you had started to skip school. Only ever there for exams and a couple of art classes you had with Jeongguk. He was what you would’ve called a best friend, he supported you and was by your side till you left school. He went away to college and like always with school friends, you drifted apart. Nevertheless, he still texts you now and then to check in.
Although you were (once) close with Jeongguk. He never knew of your inner demons, the same with Yoongi and Hoseok. You didn’t want to feel like a burden and worry your friends when they had shit to worry about themselves.
Why devastate flowers that flourish beautifully with weeds that manage to twist their way around every crack?
You had walked for a few minutes now, having chatted absentmindedly about anything and everything. The roads still didn’t look familiar to you and you just wished they did, you didn’t want to be away from your home any longer, your feet were starting to ache, your phone was on 10% battery and it was fucking cold. You just wanted to be back in bed tucked up watching Lady and the Tramp or 101 Dalmatians for the millionth time. You felt safe and content when you indulged in your comfort films. Far away from the real world and wrapped up in the false reality. They easily distracted you and that's when you truly felt at peace. Your mind was always too busy thinking about how cute it was when Tramp calls Lady, Pidge or how in love Pongo and Perdy were.
Majority of the time you fantasised about having a love similar, but then again, why would you wanna make yourself vulnerable like that? Is the risk of being hurt (more than you are now) any good? Of course it’s not. Fuck that, life isn’t nothing like those shitty romance films or novels… It’s real and painful.
As you and Taehyung rounded the corner, a little cafe caught your eye, a dainty blue and pink building. Fairy Lights strung up around the windows, you could see a handful of people inside, busy sipping their drinks and chatting away to one another. ‘Aroma Mocha’ hung above the doors. It looked so cute and simple. Your previous thoughts left your mind as quick as they had come. You wanted to go inside, it had an enticing atmosphere.
Taehyung hadn’t realised you’d stopped walking until he couldn’t hear the soft thud of your footsteps behind him, he turned as he called out to you, your eyes still fixed on the cafe. He chuckled to himself, “Fucking adorable, like a kid at christmas,” he walked back over to you. “Hey Doll, you wanna go in?” He felt his heart quicken when you looked at him with those pretty eyes, “We’ve plenty of time to get you back before it’s dark angel.” You answered him with a nod as you turned your head from Taehyung to look back at the alluring little cafe.
Not a second had passed before Taehyung grabbed your hand and pulled you across the road to the entrance; you ignored the warmth of his hand as it intertwined with yours; you ignored the way your tummy erupted with butterflies. Taehyung had stopped to hold the door for you, you murmured a small, “thank you,” looking up at him, the heat that crept up your cheeks making your face resemble that of a doll’s he thought to himself. Once he ushered you fully inside, he placed his hand to rest on the curve of your waist as he guided you to the back corner of the room, where a quaint table for two was unoccupied, a little pot of Daffodils sat atop. How fitting...
Taehyung was quick to pull the chair out for you to take a seat, you pulled it in as you sat down and sent a shy smile his way, “I’m sorry, I know we just met Taehyung but this place is so fucking precious! I hope I’m not bothering you, if I am we can just carry on walking or, I could ring a Taxi? Is this weird? Oh god, I can’t believe--”, Taehyung threw his head back as he laughed, a sound that seemed to wrap its way around your soul, twisting around your heart in the nicest of ways, it was almost like a killer to the weeds taking over your body. A temporary release. You felt like you could really breathe in those short seconds of his laughter.
“Angel, if you were bothering me, I’d have kept on walking. That, or I would’ve called you a Taxi myself, it’s no problem honestly.” You ducked your head as he sent a wink your way, fuck sake Y/N get it together! Why are you acting like a fucking schoolgirl?
“Well I uh, appreciate it so, yeah thank you?” You don’t know what to do, you’re here with the most gorgeous person you’ve ever laid your eyes on… yet you have no clue if what you saw was real, did Taehyung stab someone? Could someone have had the knife who wasn’t Taehyung? Was he even the person you saw in that altercation? Did you imagine everything that had gone off?
Before you had chance to overthink it, a light bubbly voice greeted your ears, “Hi! Welcome to Aroma Mocha, I’m Jimin and I’ll be your server today. Is there anything I can get you?” Jimin held his gaze on you as he flashed you a friendly smile, Taehyung turned around at the sound of his best friend, “Oh, Tae! I wasn’t expecting to see you today, what are you doing here? And who’s this pretty little lady?”
“This is Y/Nie, she was in the neighbourhood so we thought we’d nip in for something to drink before I take her back to hers.” you sent a warm smile to Jimin which he gladly returned, “I’ll have my usual and can you get Y/Nie a Strawberry Iced Tea? Thanks man.”
Once Jimin had disappeared to make your drinks, you shot your eyes to Taehyung, “Uhm, how’d you know I like Strawberry Iced Tea?” Taehyung didn’t even look in your direction as he scrolled through his phone, eyes glued to the screen. A minute passed by and he’d still not acknowledged your question so you let it slide, it wasn’t that big of a deal right? Your mind drifted. Your fingers rested atop of your lap, hidden from the sight of onlookers, picking around your nails as anxiety flooded your body. You felt like you were about to suffocate. You shouldn’t be talking to anyone, you shouldn’t let anyone close. You were only going to fuck everything up in a heartbeat. It’s only natural. Self deprecating thoughts devoured and made their way through your veins, poisoning yourself further; your whole body felt as though it was alight.
Jimin brought you your drinks, placed them carefully in front of the pair of you as you both said your thanks.
The click of Taehyung’s phone being locked and the clearing of his throat brought you back to your senses. “The drink I ordered for you is popular here so, I assumed you’d like to try it. You wanna talk about what’s bothering you?” your eyes shot up to meet his, your head tilted a little to the left as your tongue wet your lip, so puppy like...
You stared incredulously, “I don’t know what you’re talking about Taehyung.” You leant forward slightly as you wrapped your lips around the straw and took a sip.
Taehyung saw the way you sucked your drink up through your straw, his eyes darkened. Thankful to have worn sweatpants that day, he shifted himself discreetly, “I’m not stupid Angel, I know what you’re doing under the table. I’m here, so talk to me. I’ll listen to whatever you gotta say.”
You stuttered as you wracked your brain for something to say, “I-I only met you like forty minutes ago, I don’t even tell my friends what’s wrong. Not that there is, everything’s fine.”
You met me just short of an hour ago, he thought to himself, “You don’t have to lie to me Y/Nie…” he grabbed your hands that were laid near the cup of your Iced Tea. His thumb rubbing circles onto the back of your hand. You looked small and fragile, like the Daffodils on the table; one little pluck and you’d be ruined. He wouldn’t admit it to you just yet but, Taehyung fucking loved how delicate you seemed as you sat across from him.
How easy it would be to take your life away. How easy it’d be to pull those weeds up that are poisoning you, torturing you every single day. He shook his head, as he cleared those thoughts. No, only Y/N can make that decision. I’m just going to help her choose.
Live or Die.
You visibly winced, “You don’t know me. Think whatever the fuck you want about me, it doesn’t matter.” your eyes flashed hurt as you went back to picking your skin. You knew it, this whole encounter was too good to be true. A complete stranger (well acquaintance technically) had just presumed shit about you, the fact he was right is what hurt more. You didn’t want anyone to know how you were feeling. Or how you were dealing with it.
You couldn’t exactly tell him to piss off, you still needed his help home and so you tried to distract yourself from the unsettling gaze that watched your every move. You let out a breath as Taehyung went back to his phone. Your eyes drifted as you picked up the local Newspaper, your eyes skimmed over the headline, ‘Jigsaw Traps Continue’. Taehyung noticed you staring at the front page, and chuckled, “you scared of Jigsaw Angel?”
You shook your head, why would you be scared of some nutjob who’s targeted criminals and drug dealers? You’re a nobody. “Of some psychopathic puppet?” if anyone did anything to you that would threaten your life, it would be you. Taehyung just laughed in return as you skipped the article and skim-read the other pointless stories.
You were fucking clueless as to who he was while he knew every little thing about you. He had watched you for months… His precious little Y/Nie… Oh how silly you were, taking your life for granted.
You hated yourself that much, you were willingly marking yourself up. Tainting your skin… oh your skin, how fucking beautiful and soft it looked, even with all the scars it still looked perfect… Taehyung wanted nothing more than to whisk you away and lock you inside with him. Forever. He didn’t want anyone touching what was his.
He knew you wore a mask when in public, too afraid to show your real self. Little did you know, he wore a mask himself...only he wore it to better other people.
He had a plan.
And you’d soon find out.
Let the games begin.
