pairings. stepbro!jason todd x fem!reader
about. jason never thought much about you until the two of you bumped into each other on a night that was a product of sneaking out
warnings. swearing, stepcest but fr, underage drinking
ricky rocks. hm
jason was never someone you had ever considered to be close with until the two of you had accidentally caught one another sneaking out of the house at the same time.
before that, if you were ever asked who your favorite brother was, you probably would have said dick; which was understandable. he was your big brother, a role model and everyone knew without a doubt dick was a charmer. he had a natural appeal to him that just drew your attention to him. it was no secret and to say the least, it had jason jealous. he really never was one to care, especially of you, but when his body had slammed into yours on that late friday night at around one in the morning; everything flipped into a world he was unfamiliar of.
he became more aware of you. it was as if you really hadnât ever existed in his world due to you sticking to your own and him doing the same. hell, he wouldnât have had a relationship with dick if it werenât for patrol, and that was kind of out of question for the two of you due you not sharing the same interest in jumping off roofs and kicking bad-guys asses as he did. which he didnât understand; upon closer examination, jason came to the conclusion you would probably have no problem out on the streets from how physically fit you were and the amount of time you had caused tim and dick to fall on their asses in combat.
he only could come to the conclusion that you were scared, but like him, you put up a front that was hard for anyone to see through. that wasnât the only thing so similar about the two of you, and thatâs what killed him.
âcome here often?â he heard your pained, yet silent laugh fill the cold night air after the two of you had both came to realization of who each of you had knocked to the ground- well more or so you since the sound of your voice came out as unfamiliar to his ears until the moonlight highlight your face when you came closer to him, helping him to his feet.
he scoffed a little, recovering, âmore than i like.â he was referring to the fact that you both were just barely hanging on to the slanted roof; always finding this the most difficult part of sneaking out.
you laughed a little back, âyou and me both,â before continuing on with your escape route.
he almost caught himself dumbfounded, watching your figure easily maneuver down the gutter pipe making it obvious this was far from your first time sneaking out of wayne manor.
the next time jason had seen you was the morning after; with your school uniform neatly and tightly wrung around your body, drinking the glass of orange juice alfred had just poured you.
there was no sign of last nights mess on your body.
âgood morning, children,â bruce had entered the kitchen, slapping his newspaper on the island counter before making his way towards the coffee pot, pressing a kiss on the back of your head within the process.
it made jason smirk to himself. out of all bruceâs adoptive children, you were definitely bruceâs favorite. you made dick look like a fool with the amount of academic awards and pictures of you bruce had hung up in his study, all correlating to you and only you. there was no doubt you were a daddyâs girl and bruceâs little princess.
but at night, it seemed you were almost as low as jason was with sneaking out to god knows where in the middle of the night, only to come home in the earlier hours of the morning to put back up the facade your adoptive father loved so much.
jason couldnât suppress a laugh as he drunk from his own glass of orange juice, causing you to look up at him. you shook your head but couldnât help but smile at him.
âare you alright, master todd?â
jason nodded, wiping the corner of his mouth as he straightened back up into his full posture, âjust thought of something dick said earlier.. made me laugh.â he tried his best to play it off but timing wasnât his friend for dick walked in.
âwhatâd i say earlier?â
âyeah, dick almost never says anything funny,â you snickered causing dick to glare at you as he pulled a strand of your hair lightly.
jason coughed, âmâ donât remember.â
you narrowed your brows as they all did before mouthing ânice saveâ.
°â˘
he knew your laugh. he learned it well and he learned it quicklyâ recently. he couldnât miss it, not even in the crowded underground bar gothamâs grunge and grime hid. he almost thought he was delusional with seeing nothing but blurry faces with how fast his head shot up; but none of those faces were yours.
you knew jason was there. it wasnât hard to miss his tall, muscular, brooding figure the moment he walked through the door alone. even though he looked as if he didnât want to be noticed with his black attire. it made you smile into your beer as your eyes couldnât help but follow him as he walked swiftly toward the back of the crowded bar, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets.
it took awhile and you were surprised he didnât see you sooner as you glided through the crowd to the small booth he sat at in the corner; cradling a glass of whiskey. you held down your smile, thinking of how much bruce and jason were alikeâ even if jason didnât want to realize it.
âi want to show you something.â
he looked up at you, almost looking relieved, but frowned to cover any sign of lightness drawn into his face as he looked down at his drink before back up to you. your expression was unimpressionable as he attempted to examine what was going through your head, but your visage was blank and your mannerism was still until you smiled and turned away.
you were like a stranger. everything about you impenetrable, but that was only because his mind was in a haze. something not normal for jason. he was lost in a fog, in a chase after you and you called to him leading him further into obscurity⌠and onto a roof.
the gotham wind was hard and damp with the taste of rain hidden deep within it. the sky was as dark as it always was and nothing else⌠just dark with factory smoke and tall buildings covering the stars. you were always so grateful that wayne manor was planted so far from the city that not even the pollution could cover the bright stars.
but sometimes the dark was nice.
âyou always drink alone?â you looked back at him over your shoulder with a sly look, your hair swirling around your head, his mind going crazy, not being able to focus straight with you right in front of him. âyou know you could do that at home, for free.â
jason smiled a little, brushing his knuckle against his nose. he looked to the sky with the tilt of his head and he could suddenly only hear wind with his eyes put closed and mind suddenly desolated. you watched him for a moment, it was strange and you almost wondered if the right person followed you onto the rooftop because jason never had peaceful tendencies.
was he drunk?
âhey,â he was knocked to reality as you lightly held his forearm, smiling, almost concerned, âcâmere.â you tilted your head in the direction of the edge of the roof, still holding his forearm before it slid down to his hand.
oh?
you lead him right to the edge where a lining of brick railing kept the two of you from falling to your death since the both of you were practically leaning all the way up onto rail, just asking to die.
he watched you search for something as you were practically pushed up in your tiptoes. he could see it in your eyes how desperate you were with how wide your eyes were and how you gripped his wrist now instead of his hand, almost as if that was giving you an advantage to sight.
âthere it is,â you smiled, relaxing as you were now flat on your feet and you let go of his wrist, âlook right there.â you now extended out your arm, pointing to the left of the two of you.
now jason had to be blind or just plain oblvious because you were sure that where you were pointing was clear and what you were pointing at was hard to miss.
âwhat are we looking at,â he narrowed his brows as he adjusted himself quickly, attempting to see what you were seeing.
âjason,â you deadpanned, looking at the side of his face as he continued to look. you exhaled, shaking your head before dropping your palm flat, âgive me your hand.â he looked to you, raising a brow before slowly placing his hand in yours. you made his hand into a fist before pulling out his pointer finger, ânow follow your finger, jay.â
you moved it to the building, the big glass building on one of the many hills in the background of the city. it was clear like ice, it wasnât hard to spot, not if you had observant eyes. but right now jasonâs eyes seemed to be clouded and the only thing he really wanted to look at was you.
âyou see it now?â
he didnât answer, but you could tell he hadnât.
you got frustrated with him fast as you still held his hand pointing in some random direction, but now you grasped the side of his face with your right hand after planting yourself close and in front of him. there was little to no space between your back and his chest where you were now pushing the side of his head toward where you were looking and maneuvering his arm better so he was pointing where you wanted him to see.
âlook along the hillside, close one of your eyes if it helps.â
he couldnât even breathe. the smell of your shampoo and perfume was overwhelming. he could no longer feel the wind with the warmth of your body replicating on his, let alone could he hear it; it was only his heart beat and your breathing.
he tried hard, now looking where you were wanting him to look and he saw it. he didnât know how he missed it but he also saw nothing special about it. it was only glass, and he didnât get the point of it; everyone could see in if they wanted and the only reason the glass wasnât shattered was because of how far it was up on the hill side. because that was the thing, everything clear and pure was to be broken in good oleâ gotham.
âi always wonder⌠about what goes on inside,â you whisper, you body relaxing and pressing even closer to his warm body.
âdoes it matter?â
you hummed, âmaybe not,â you tilted away from him, hoisting your leg on top of the railing so that you were now adjusting yourself to stand at a higher ground. âbut i still think itâs nice.â
jason stared up at you with his brows furrowed.
âitâs something to think about.â
you begun to walk, your arms outstretched on either sides of you, carefully placing one foot in front of the other.
ây/n,â jason watched you, his steps following yours, now on edge with how careless you seemed to be. he didnât realize till now how tipsy you must be, otherwise he swore you wouldnât have been getting so close to the edge in your right mind.
ârelax, todd, i wonât go jumping on you,â you took his hand once he reached it out for you, hoping to pull you down, but you still trudged back and forth with a trip in your walk, increasing his anxiety. âyou need to relax, youâre always so fucking uptight and quiet and you donât say anything and-and-â
your foot slipped sending the weight of your body to the edge more quickly than you could process. you felt your whole stomach flip upside down once there was no stable ground beneath you and gravity ate you whole. and if it werenât for jason, your body would have been a little puddle on the busy streets of gotham.
âfuck, fuck, fuck,â you had him pulled up on the railing, reaching over and desperately making sure he still had ahold of you. he felt he had been struck; his adrenaline pumping and he suddenly became hyper aware of everything that was going on just between the two of you. he could see the shock in your eyes and how they were quickly swelling into fear. he could hear your breathing- he was surprised you were breathing- but it was quick and shaky and you were scared. ây/n, hold on for me, donât let go.â
your eyes were wide and they burned as the last thing on your mind was letting go. you were more concerned heâd be the one to let go of your body due to it practically flailing around; desperate, horrified. you could only hear your heart, and then the cars below, and then just barely jasonâs panicked voice.
âgive me your other hand,â he reached, âlook at me, give me your other hand, y/n/n-â
âjason-â
âyouâre going to be okay, just give me your other fucking hand.â
you tried to control your breathing, everything felt numb but the burning feeling of jasonâs skin squeezing around yours. you almost swore you didnât have another arm- but you swung your loose arm around before slapping it into jasonâs other grip. he let out a breath of relief, now hoisting you up quickly till you were on the roof safely and pressed against him.
his arm was strung around your waist while the other clutch your head almost cradling it as you hugged yourself to him tightly. he shook his head resisting the urge to scold your dumbass. jason no longer felt drunk off bliss of your presences but rather like he had been punched in the stomach with a reality check. he felt winded even as you were completely fine now, clutching his body like a cat.
°â˘
âsurprised youâre not roof top climbing tonight.â
you froze at the sound of his voice, slightly tipping your head in a wincing motion. you knew this moment would come, even if jason and you werenât close, there still was going to be moment where youâd run into each other, and this was it. jason was spread out on the living room couch with a book in his hand, his eyes still on the paperback but his attention on you; waiting.
it was 11:30 pm and you were still winded from two nights ago. mostly because you were embarrassed and you couldnât get through a dinner without your cheeks heating up in clear remembrance of foolishly climbing onto a thin railing and falling.. and so many other things that probably shouldnât have been executed with your stepbrother.
âuh, i think iâm probably going to refrain from climbing anything taller than six feet,â you scratched your neck nervously as you glanced at him. he snorted, extending his arm behind his head causing his bicep to flex.. fuck. âwhat?â
âhowâre you gonna see your glass house?â
youâre lips unintentionally lifted and you now walked closer to where jason was so comfortably laid out. he looked up to you, placing his book aside. you sat in the large leather chair across with him, no longer feeling embarrassment.
âmaybe when i donât get drunk after two shots, i can trust myself again,â you shrugged and there was a ghost of a smile on his face. âunless youâre willing to catch me again.â
it was a joke, but you could tell he was pondering it by the way his eyes diverted from yours for just a second and pressed his knuckle against his top lip. his eyes reached yours once again, and he didnât try to hide his smile this time, âanything for you, doll.â

pairings. mattheo riddle x fem!reader
about. you and mattheo have a relationship that runs on hypocrisy and toxicity.
warnings. swearing, uh
ricky rocks. this is one of my favorite neighbourhood songs. this is also everywhere, forgive meee
there were days where you swore he hated you.
and you almost werenât far off if werenât for how much he actually loved you, for how much heâd do for you.
âeverything i fucking do, you have something to say about! youâre a fucking hypocrite, mattheo!â
âdonât you fucking start, y/n,â mattheo would spat back.
ever since the two of you had gotten together you had rarely ever opened your mouth anymore, finding yourself more observant since if you did speak, youâd most likely get yourself in trouble. and it didnât help the pansy was always on your ass; like a little voice in the back of your head, keeping you in check and just waiting for you to slip up so she could go running to mattheo. but even without her, everything you did, mattheo still had something to say about it. and most of the time, it wasnât good.
youâd lose your mind some days, not even wanting to get out of bed if fear of the public humiliation heâd place on your shoulders in front of everyone. it was as if he found pride and enjoyment within your embarrassment, eating it up when your cheeks would burn and your tall posture would slowly shorten, and when your eyes would stray from the bright color they always synced up in, falling into an abyss of a dull color, almost as if you had become an old burnt out lightbulb.
it was toxic, sure, but you both had your moments.
you loved it when heâd wake you from the common room couch, beckoning for you to move over just so he could fit in right next to you, drowning you in his sweater clothed arms, smelling of his cologne and whiskey and cigarettes. heâd rest his chin or cheek on the top of your head, wishing you off to sleep, protecting you from bad dreams that would wander through your head.
you loved how heâd call you âloveâ and how heâd slow dance with you when it was dark and the only thing that kept the common room at light was the dying fire and sometimes the low glowing moon. he was always warm and always kept you close. he wanted to feel you, whether that was tugging a strand of your hair, pinching your cheeks, holding you, kissing your hand, anything, just to know you were right there.
but those moments and feelings only lasted for so long.
you could hear their snickering before you could even see their faces. you walked down the isles of the great hall toward your group of friends who were already live and bustling as they ate their food and talked their mischief with a somewhat low tone; something you knew you had to worry about.
âawh, the beast has finally been awoken,â you would have taken blaiseâs words with a laugh if it werenât for how wide his eyes were and the fact that they didnât meet yours, but rather the boys around him, almost as if warning them to call off all their talking.
it caused you to pause and slow your pace, a skeptical look on your face as you gave him a confused look, but mattheo wasted no time as he turned slightly, âlove,â extending his right arm out, wrapping it around your waist and pulling you in closer, âsit down, please.â
you did.
he pulled a plate in front of you, tipping his head, motioning for you to eat.
you did.
âyou guys planning on going to the ravenclaw party tonight?â draco subtly started the conversation up again as he reached across the table for a slab of butter, his shoulders were tense even though he was trying to relax them, but he was trying too hard.
you watched them cautiously as you filled your plate with breakfast food, your eyes moving from person to person slowly. mattheo watched you. everything seemed so tense no matter how hard they tried to play off whatever had happened seconds before you got there.
âdepends on whether or not mattheo can control himself this time.â
there was a shift at the sound of pansyâs words; eyes wide, low squeaks of surprisal, all their bodies moving like waves as they seem to lean away, from what? you werenât sure. but now, they all looked at you, didnât look at you, looked at you.
you turned your head to face mattheo who had his jaw clenched, glaring at pansy who only smiled back.
âwhat?â
âoh nothing,â pansy shrugged, âitâs just i got stuck on mattheo duty since you were sick and once he has a little fire whiskey in him.. well you know,â her face scrunched, still slightly smiling, âcanât keep track..â
â.. track of what,â you couldnât even think.
âoh, you know.â
oh you know⌠you know exactly.
your eyes searched each of the boys, but now they really werenât looking.
âno, i donât,â you shook your head slightly before turning back to mattheo who still didnât look at you. âwhat is she saying?â
itâs silent and tense and they only thing you can really hear is your heartbeat.
âfor fuck sake,â blaise broke his silence, extending out his long arm, âtell the poor girl.â
silence.
âalright,â you pursed your lips into a thin line, laying your hands on the soft wood of the dining table, thinking before pushing yourself up onto your feet, walking away. the familiar feeling of your chest tightening and head pounding begun to overwhelm you, only it felt worse as you slowly came to conclusion of what happened at that ravenclaw party that you had no idea mattheo even went to.
ây/n,â you could hear his voice call after you, his fucking voice increasing in volume as you continued to rush down the hall. âlove, stop for a moment,â he rushed now, his hand reaching for yours. âyou donât even know what happened,â he was now pressed against your side, pushing you into the bathroom that was conveniently right around the corner. you didnât even stop him, the past two weeks you could just feel this argument building up and you couldnât stop it now.
âyou donât have to tell me, for me to know what happened. it is always the same thing,â you pushed his hands off, backing away deeper into the washroom, âyou get drunk, you kiss another girl, and i am left in the dust looking like a fool once again.â
âwhy the fuck would you say that?â
âwhy do you think, iâm not fucking dumb.â
he no longer reached for you with his long arms that always made you feel loved and safe but stung at the same time. his mood flipped like a switch as he stared at you with eyes suddenly full of exasperation. he couldnât baby you anymore, make you feel better, he was tired of your distressed-havoc eyes, making him feel bad. âitâs not like you want anything to do with me anyways-â
âwhat?â your chest puffed up like a ballon as your posture straightened back up, completely disregarding the distraught you had been feeling seconds ago. âthat is bullshit mattheo. i was fucking sick that whole week, so iâm sorry if i didnât kiss you a little extra or give you fucking head because i was being a little more considerate of myself.â
âdonât fucking be like that.â
âlike what?â
âyou make me sound like iâm some asshole of a boyfriend-â
âbecause you are! you make me feel like an idiot mattheo, because some days i donât even think you give a fuck about me and then others i canât even say a fucking say a word without you condemning me. and then you go kiss another girl?â
his eyes.
they were so dark and he didnât say anything, it made you want to expolode. he was holding it back, whatever it was he had to say, he was biting his tongue with the clench of his jaw, holding it back because he knew itâd only make things worse but why not just say it?
âdonât look at me like that,â you winced, your head tipping as you couldnât look away from the hate whirling through his eyes no matter how much you wanted to.
the silence didnât help. you were going to start letting it all out if he didnât say anything and from what it looked like, the two of you were holding a staring contest and he wasnât going to lose.
you shifted on your feet, ready to walk out the door, âi canât even fucking do this with you because all it fucking is-â
âall it fucking is what? what, y/n, what is it like with me, huh? tell me,â his face was closer than ever now and he had you backed against the wall. his eyes boaring into yours with aggression as he let the silence settle before continuing, challenging you to say something; to finish your sentence. he grabbed your chin roughly, grasping it so tight your cheeks begun to burn as the feeling of embarrassment begun to consume you. âi goddamn dare you to say something bad about me. i fucking dare you.â
you clenched your jaw, gritting your teeth as you felt an intense amount of pressure on your chest. everything burned and a lump formed in your throat from the sound of his voice ringing through the bathroom.
âi donât want to hear a word from your mouth about how shitty of a fucking boyfriend i am. about how i donât give a shit about you when i would give you the whole fucking world if i could,â his fist slammed against the wall as he said âworldâ, as if he was preventing himself from hurting you. he would never, he couldnât imagine, but something times it got hard and his mind would just go blank and wander...
he analyzed the wideness of your eyes, fear soaking them to the point he could feel it. he cursed himself, now lowering his voice to a whisper and more sympathetic tone. âi would do anything for you. understand that?â
you wanted to cry.
his mind was a storm and you could see it right through his eyes.
âi wouldnât ever imagine hurting you,â his voice had a lace of shake in it as his eyes stared hard into yours, âi love you and your scars and your pain and your words,â he took your hand, slowly pressing it against his chest, as if not wanting to scare you away. âyou own me.â
he took your silence as answer of its own. he softly placed his hands on both sides of your face, thumbs stroking your cheek, wanting to calm you down. but he didnât stay long, leaving you to yourself where you buried your face in your hands, only thinking of what blaise had said long ago, something you could never get out of your head.
âsometimes y/n,â he had paused, unsure whether or not he should have said it, âit seems like you and mattheo are only made to break each others hearts more than anything else.â
you didnât want to believe it then, and you still didnât want to now, but the more time passed and the more arguments staked up like files, it seemed to be reality.
âyou two are so far from each other, itâs like you are oceans apart and nothing seems possible to bring you two closer together.â

UM UM ARR UR REQUESTS FOR ROBBY KEENE OPEN?!
YESS!
my boyfriend doesnât love me. slytherin boys x reader
summary : in which draco can no longer keep the secret of cheating on you, revealing it to his slytherin friends causing a whirlwind of anger
warning/s : swearing, credits to a tiktok i saw, lorenzo is nicknamed len, cat fight
slaterâs note : i always forget to finish this
the slytherin common room was warm and dimly lit with the small chatter between blaise and enzo filling the calm air. a nice, quiet background noise to ease you deeper into your studying, despite you longing to join their light laughs and conversations.
you tucked a strand behind your ear as your eyes continued to scan the small and long paragraphed words beginning to dance across the page with how tired your eyes began to get- and how they began to sting.
you blinked a couple times before wrenching your wrist under your eyesight, scanning the minute and hour hand. it made you blink back in surprisal, a feeling of grief filling your chest like a glass of water with the realization of it being three in the morning.. meaning you wouldnât be getting much sleep.
âiâm going to bed,â you mumbled hesitatingly, stretching your back out as you stood from the floor and before your six friends, all preoccupied in their own activities and thoughts.
âalready?â
âitâs five past three, len,â you gave the brunette boy who seised his conversation with blaise a sheepish look, before shifting over to draco who sat in a desperate chair, pressing your lips against his pale cheek, âgoodnight love.â
he hummed, seeming to grip the arms of the chair tighter when you had gotten closer, almost dreading and tensing at your touch and presence full of love for him. mattheo quirked a brow, picking up on body language unlike the rest of your friends, causing a feelings of confusion and amusing concern to enter his chest.
âiâll see you all in the morning,â you nodded off, heading to the path of your room while the rest of them all hummed their goodbyes and good nights quietly.
draco watched you up until you reached the staircase, his eyes then traveling to back to where they were before; the faded out patterned carpet. mattheoâs eyes stayed on him, watching and analyzing, trying to guess what he was thinking about.
usually draco would have followed right behind you after a couple of minutes, biding his own good nights, but ten minutes had past and he had stayed in the exact same position.
âi need to say something,â draco mumbled, adjusting himself up in the black leather chair to a straight posture. his abrupt movement had caused a chain reaction of sudden adjustments and looks of curiosity.
itâs silent then again, his eyes still on the carpet before pansy called for him to speak out.
âi fucked astoria over the summer,â he mumbled, his ringed fingers pressed against his forehead as he thought in shame and spoke unemotionally. âmultiple times.â
itâs silent and definitely none were expecting those words, especially enzo whoâs eyebrows raised and then once more lowered, allowing anger to overcome him, âiâm going to kill you.â
most eyes staggered to lorenzo, his words so sudden and almost seemingly in an unfit tone that made pansy cringe and clench her jaw with how stern and hard they were.
itâs silent again until:
âwhatâd you say to me?â
draco hadnât seemed to process it until then, his head turning slightly and finally looking away from the carpet, now to lorenzo who already stared back.
âiâm going to fucking kill you, asshole,â he looked as if he was about to fly from the leather black couch. his knuckles tightened and jaw clenched up to the point his jaw was shaping his skin sharply.
no one had ever seen enzo so angry. sure, he was easily upset, especially when drunk, but never had either of the five of them seen him so angry.
âyou cheated on her?â theo breathed out, putting out his cigarette on the ash tray sitting on the stool beside the couch. he suppressed his own anger. still very unsure of it and whether or not if he should have been so concerned. âyouâre telling me.. you cheated on the very lovely girl waiting for you upstairs that is willing to give you everything with the drop of a hand.â
he was trying to reason it to himself. trying to understand it the best he could and if he was hearing draco right. theoâs statement had made the rest of them think through the whole thing more deeply, now fully processing.
âyouâre an asshole,â mattheo laughed inappropriately, shaking his head with a cigarette in his mouth. he had never wanted to choke the fuck out of a person so much more than then.
âhow could you do this, how could you fucking do this,â enzo had always adored you. it was a different kind of love that he only found he could sum up for a sister. he felt obligated to protect you, kiss your boo-boos, and he was sure all the other boys felt that same way until this moment, seemingly proving otherwise with him the only one showing his concern and anger.
âit just happened. it didnât mean anything.â
âoh?â theo nodded his head, as if understanding. but really, he didnât.
he himself, like enzo, loved you. he just didnât know how to show it with the missing piece in his brain, never had learned to show affection for a lover or a friend. he would rather observe, and watch, and share small, educated advice made specifically for you, and only you. he had never known a female friend so well, or rather any female at all. not even pansy, he had never found any relation to her snobbish attitude even though he was rather similar to her in that way.
âit was truly an accident,â draco felt pressured to explain himself due to the silence and harsh stares filling his vision. âi love y/n. i love her. i would never try to hurt her.â
âwell you did. youâre going to,â mattheo hummed, shaking his head. he had never expected draco to cheat on you. the same draco who had practically made every one of them swear to never make a move on you, the same draco who filled your room with flowers from floor to ceiling after the first date, the same draco who had gave you a promise ring after your one year anniversary. âand youâre a goddamn fool for doing so.â
âlisten,â draco extended his arm in the direction of mattheo who sat far right across from him. his tone became hard and his eyes crinkled as mattheoâs short, but insolent words hit his heart. âi donât need to be lectured by the unfaithful himself, alright? i donât need to be lectured by any of you, i just had to say it.âÂ
âiâm not in a relationship, mate,â mattheo grinned like a sick dog while taking a hit of his cigarette. âcanât be unfaithful if i donât have a girlfriend. you.. on the other hand.â
âfuck you.âÂ
âyou are fucked, pal,â blaise shook his head, âyouâre gonna tell her, right?â
âfuck, why would i?âÂ
a look of astonishment crossed all of their faces as they stared at draco, not understanding his word at all.Â
âhow could you not?â pansy stared at him wide eyed, âyou drop that bomb on us and then expect everything to continue on like normal? fuck that draco, iâll tell her myself.âÂ
âfuck you wonât,â he gets to his feet fast just as she does, âsit down, parkinson.âÂ
âsuck my dick, malfoy,â she shoves him out of the way just as he grabs onto her arms, practically throwing her into the chair mattheo sat in; who caught her the best he could without inflicting pain on either one of them. âfuck is your problem?âÂ
she gets to her feet fast again, now prepared to sock him the face, âgrow up, draco. learn to deal with the consequences of your actions.â she takes two steps and he once again is on her, gripping her arm so tight to the point she makes a sounds of anguish.Â
âalight, enough,â mattheo pushes him back once to his own feet. âstep down, draco. we both know you wonât do anything.â
âoh really?â âreally,â he nods, his eyes going hard before looking behind draco to your figure that stood on the staircase, âespecially if you want to help your case in front of her.âÂ

- idk if i should keep tagging people for the general slytherin boys
secrets out. bellamy blake x reader
summary đ: alie gets under the skin of everyone, even the ones who seem the most shut off
warning/s đ˝: swearing, depression, talks of miscarriage, and gif not mine, angst
slaterâs note đŞ: season three truly was the best season. this is... dramatic? it has potential but i gave up.
it was your turn.
alie crossed all of them off like a list. one by one, mind fucking them until they couldnât handle it.
mind manipulation, you knew all about it and you were certain that it wasnât something you could be so easily affected by. you had met a lot of people, had a lot of boyfriends, and friends, and even your own parents who enjoyed getting into your head with simple words that made you feel guilty or sick to your stomach.Â
you were sure she couldnât get into yours.Â
âhello, sweetheart,â raven quirked her head, already analyzing you and your current mood. âsee they finally brought in the big guns.â
you humph in amusement with lips slightly twitching upward as you made your way to one of the boxes that sat close to raven. you were hoping to rest, put your mind to ease as you sat before her, not expecting much to come from her mouth since you were a closed book.Â
clarke and jasper were practically left open and begging to be read as they sized up to raven with their emotions still filling their eyes to the brim. they were easy targets, easy to tear down, and easy to extract a fit from.Â
and although bellamy seemed just as shut off as you, he really wasnât. bellamy had so many problems shoved in the back of his mind that they begun to pile and overflow. and with anger issues compiled from unsettled issues in his past; he was just as much as an easy target as they were.
everyone hits rock bottom, but not all get to face the humiliation of others also realizing and coming to spit in your face.. a plan alie was hoping to put in motion, she just had to bait you first.
âyouâve always been the smart one,â she slightly twisted her head, ravenâs eyes dark and filled with a conscious that wasnât her own. âalways thought for the better of others.. never yourself,â she shook her head and you could tell by the way her eyes slightly squinted she had something up her sleeve.
you were intrigued.
âso.. selfless and yet youâre always blamed for every problem that comes up. why do you let that happen, y/n?â
you tilted your head to the side, not exactly finding truth in the last of her words, you had never felt blamed, and if anyone was a scape goat, itâd be murphy. but you still found yourself listening, eating up the lie like a story.
âwhich is why iâm confused as to.. why you took the chip..â her face screwed up and at the sudden words you inhaled sharply knowing very well everyone heard her words just as you did. âi mean, y/n, as much as a smart decision that was, it was a rather selfish thing of you to do, donât you think?â
you kept your mouth shut, knowing this wasnât the last of her words. she had a plan of some kind, she was still trying to get into your head and she felt so close by the way she had just watched you adjust yourself in the slightest way possible.
âlike i said before,â you mumbled, âyour chip didnât work.â
âthatâs too bad, isnât it?â she whispered, almost taunting you, âwhateverâs hurting you must be something real bad with how brave and strong you are, orâexcuse me, seem to be.â
âsomeone should go in there,â jasper suddenly stood from his spot at the door, listening in, his mouth beginning to grow dry as he stood up anxiously, looking between bellamy and the rest of your friends listening with just as slack and uncomfortable expressions; taken aback.
he made a move to go in but bellamy quickly stopped him, âjust wait.â
âbellamy-â
âbut then again, the strongest of us always seem to carry the most. you would know wouldnât you?â
your mouth twitched from frowning deeper as you thought of all the past torment, from the moment you were born to the moment you landed on the ground.
âshall we talk about why you took the chip?â
âwe can talk about whatever you want,â you leaned forward with your elbows on your knees.
this couldnât get any worse than it already was.
âi want you to choose. bellamy or mount weather?â
you swallowed harshly, but your voice was still stern as you stared at her with narrowed eyes, âneither,â you leaned forward, thinking of the many flaws to weaknesses that centered in your heart just with the those topics. âi want to talk about you, raven, only you.â
âdeflecting the question wonât work, y/n,â she almost glared at you, âyou said we could talk about what i wanted and now i made a decision; i want to talk about what happened in mount weather after you got shot.â
your face dropped and you didnât even try to hide it, remembering exactly what she was talking about and the room suddenly felt hot and you wanted to leave but you felt completely sucked in like she was a vacuum, giving you no choice but to get swallowed.
âyou were pregnant, right?â ravenâs head dipped to the side, already knowing she had gotten to you despite your face no longer showing a sign of distress. âwith a little girl?â
jasperâs gaze, as well as everyone elseâs, landed on the side of bellamyâs jaw, eyes wide, holding their breath, waiting for him to step in, to stop it, do anything but freeze up like a stick, struck dumb with shock.. and hurt and a pain he couldnât distinguish, something he had never felt before to the point he didnât even know if it was all real.
raven tskâd, eyes landing on her lap, âsuch a shame really.â you could see the sick smile that began to climb up her cheeks, making you want to scream, shout, anything to get rid of the pain clawing at your chest. âdoes bellamy know?â she looks up, as if wanting to really know, as if she didnât already. âi mean he is the father after all, you think heâd deserve to know.â
he knew now.
âbellamy, do something,â clarke gaped at him, her hand tugging at his arm, begging him to snap out of the trance he was in. âbellamy, you need to go in there. you need to get her out of there."
âhe held you... thinking you'd die, completely unaware of the baby inside that really took the bullet," raven inhaled, sighing, her head shaking. "that really is sad, i don't know how you didn't end it-"
you got up and she smiled, anticipating this moment. but you don't do what she wished you'd do. you stood calmly, staring deep into her hazel pupils, amusement snowing around, almost encouraging you to inflict pain on her.
"you're not real," your voice is low and quiet, "you can't effect me. you promote a false devotion and promise a final happiness and safety from pain, but you're flawed and can't even bring the weak of us down."
your eyes dart back and forth in search of some emotion in her eyes, but it seems she goes blank and shuts down like a computer until her jaw tips up, pulling closer to your face, whispering back, "you think that you're so brave, y/n. you think that you're some courageous soldier just because of the luck you had of showing up in the right place at the right time," you feel a hand grip your bicep while the other wrapped around your mid section, slowly pulling you away from the words that ran out of her mouth fast, âbut you're wrong, deep down you're coward just like all your friends and my point is only further proven when you took the chip, because admit it y/n, you're scared, you're scared-"
you felt like you had been ripped from a different world once bellamy had spun you around to face him. your body shook internally as realization overcame you of what had all been revealed within that room. bellamy looked scattered as he stared into your eyes with his own wide ones. he didn't look himself; he looked worried and maybe even sad.
very sad.
"y/n, sit down for me, please," he grasped your arms lightly, pulling you down on one of the chair slowly and gently, afraid you'd break under his touch. he was completely disoriented and he wasn't even sure if what was all happening was real.
you stayed blank in the mind, feeling completely drained and distraught to the thought of what was running around in his head right now. it hurt that he now knew everything.
"talk to me," he slowly kneeled before you, "whatâbaby, what happened to you?"
you inhaled sharply, the feeling of tears beginning to form in the crest of your eyes as you begun to feel overwhelmedâyour chest tightened and it seemed like such a strain on your lungs when you tried to breathe, "bellamy, a lot happened in... mount weather that i can't even begin to explain. i'm not even sure what was real and what wasn't."
"i was in a dark spot," it was hard to force out and you could barely look him in the eye with the intensity he kept within his eyes. his heart hurt for you and he couldn't even begin to think straight with all that was revealed with raven. "i can't think straight half the time, bellamy and after everyone was killed at mount weather.. and i was shot... i didn't feel like the same person anymore.. nothing felt right..."
you choked. your voice caught in the back of your throat as you attempted to explain yourself but he stopped you, shushing your voice as your tears begun to slowly fall and paint your cheeks. he pulled you close by the back of your neck, stroking his thumb against your scarred skin while the other wrapped around your waist, pulling you to him and his warmth. he held you tightly and so hard, that his ribs hurt but he didn't care because he was afraid that you'd slip from his grip, like you had before.
but you stayed and you held him just as tight, allowing yourself to sink, because this was the only thing that truly felt right.
