Taglist: @autumn-lv @ann-non
Read the original story, If The Horseshoe Fits.
“You clean up well, stable boy.”
Mingyu’s eyes softened in surprise as he lifted from the gold-rimmed mirror that he was concentrating on while he was adjusting the last few buttons of his velvet blue military suit jacket. He pressed his lips into a tight line, in an attempt to suppress the shy smile growing at your words. Per usual, he couldn’t hold it for long, however; his infamous childish, yet handsome grin with his canines peeking out from underneath his top lip eventually broke through when his gaze settled on your again. There was a sanguine glint reflecting in his eyes. Contrary to the tales of the heart fluttering feeling you get when you fall in love he grew up being told, the sight of you always brought a sense of warmth and calm to Mingyu. Despite being in the castle for the past three years, it quite hadn’t felt like home yet. He wasn’t sure if it was the scornful looks from the passing nobles or awkward title of “sir” from his former colleagues. Your presence brought a veil of repose and security when uncertainty rampaged the depths of his mind.

back to high school. you vividly remember that one physical education session.
you were (annoyingly) on your period that day, after the warm-up, you could feel your entire body hurt. so you requested the teacher if you can rest back in class.
you walk back to the classroom. it was a sunny day, the sunlight streams into the window and onto a side of the classroom. then you see the boy.
Yoongi was always quiet and introverted, he sleeps through the morning lessons, and he continues to sleep through the afternoon lessons. he rarely moves around if he doesn’t have to.
you two normally have some small talk, and you two pair up if some work needs to be done in pairs. you help him with work sometimes too.
“not going to p.e?” you ask lightly, he shakes his head and leans on his folded arms. you nod in understanding.
you walk to the seat next to him, sit down quietly, feel a rush of sleepiness hit you, you close your eyes to sleep.
but the cramps continue, making it extremely uncomfortable for you to fall asleep, you try your best to not shuffle around, but the cramps are keeping you awake from sleeping.
…time passes, you feel a wave of hot air hit your neck and left ear. you freeze and feel yourself stop breathing. it’s a soft whisper under his breath.
“….i like you.” his voice was slow and quiet, yet still audible. the vibration of his vocal cords was playing with your mind. the ‘i like you’ repeated itself many times in your head as if someone toggled it to be on a loop.
you tried your best to stay calm, convincing your mind it was just a misheard. nothing happened.
the boy next to you shuffles, probably also in the same position as you, lying on the table. the silent classroom made it so much easier to hear each other breathing. his light breathing sound was in sync with yours too.
minutes pass. moments pass. you thought he went back to sleep, lifting your head from leaning on your numb arm, you slowly turn your head to your left. your breathing pattern immediately rising up.
eyes meet.
you lock eyes with another pair of eyes. Yoongi was also looking at you. a glimpse of hesitation and surprise appeared in his expression. you stop dead.
the next seconds felt like hours, the sun shifted, warm yellow rays shining onto his face.
you heard the sound of an afternoon breeze,
and the sound of his racing heartbeat.

Pairing: Hoseok x Reader
tags: Domestic love, lonely!Hoseok, roommates for lovers aU, secrets, mild angst, sooooo much fluff, literally I gagged while writing this several times. implied smut. Hurt/Comfort
A/N: I wrote this instead of studying, I hope you’re happy because I’m probably going to fail because of this fucking au love me
Wordcount: 3.4k
-Hoseok and the rest of Bangtan finally decide to get their own places- and its one of the conditions of the renewal of their contract because a few of the guys have significant others now.
- He passes up an opportunity to get a three bedroom with Tae and Jungkook, and decides to live by himself like Yoongi.
- At first he decides to get a big old nice apartment on the top of a sky scrapper.
- Its modern and lit up, and everything he ever dreamed of having when he was a trainee.
- But it gets really lonely really quick.
- It starts to feel like a cage in the sky- while everyone comes home to something- all he has is his view of the city and floor to ceiling windows that will never open.
- He’s gone for ages- he can’t even fill it with greenery let alone have a pet.
- His penthouse doesn’t really feel like a home- after half a year he gives up one it.
- He caves and asks Yoongi if he would like a roommate
- “Hell no- we finally get to have quiet to our selves dude- enjoy it before you meet someone and decide to have a family.”
- So he decides to move into this quiet space- but in a busier more grungy part of town.
- A two bedroom above a coffee shop with a wrap around balcony that’s a little ways away from Bighit.
- In a town where there are mostly bars and restaurants- the other apartments on the street catering to families or people that can barely make rent.
- He loves it more than his penthouse- how he can sit out on his street faceting balcony and people watch until he feels like sleeping.
- It always smells like baked goods from the café below,
- The little bathroom leaves a lot to be desired and theirs a stain on the ceiling from water damage but he loves it.
- It’s still too lonely though. The foot traffic only lasts till 1- which is nothing when he doesn’t get home until 12; 30 even on his less busy days. And he still doesn’t feel like he’s home.
- After a drunken night and a little convincing from Seokjin he puts an advertisement in the local paper for his spare room.
- He’s almost forgotten about it when he gets an email a few weeks later.
- And he meets you in the café downstairs. A sweet student a few years younger than him looking to get their first place away from their parents.
- He was worried that you would recognize him- that you could be a fan or at least know his face- but when he takes off his facemask in a moment of boldness he doesn’t get any reaction.
- And he realizes that shit he’s lucked out- because you definably don’t know who he is- or who bts are.
- You take a peek at his apartment after a nice conversation and almost swoon- because how the fuck is the rent so low when that place is so nice- and hella cute.
- He watches as you compliment the bathroom and the crown molding- which he hadn’t even noticed. And he realizes how disconnected he’s gotten from the general public.
- You don’t think much of Hoseok at first- maybe that he’s a little cagey and more than a little secretive- he wears facemasks everywhere and you hardly ever see him take it off if he’s not at home.
- His sudden hair color changes perplex you the most.
- At first you guys have such opposite schedules that you hardly ever feel like you’re living with anyone.
- Then Hoseok gets home at 3am to find you dancing in a extra large nightshirt and eating a tub of ice cream with the music blasting and he joins in- turning the music up ( the song was “fuck it” by big bang).
- It doesn’t matter that you can’t dance for shit- that you’re literally soo terrible- you dance with more energy and passion than half the idols he’s met.
- Breathlessly you comment on his dancing skills and he just smiles and say’s “yeah I dance a little on the side.”
- You never really ask him what he does- you just assume that it pays well after his entire closet is overflowing with Gucci and designer clothes.
- Which you totally steal out of the clean laundry.
- Queue some small domestic spats about him turning one of your white sweaters pink with a Gucci sweater right before you wanted to wear it.
- Which result in him letting you wear the offending Gucci sweater.
- Which you don’t give back until a month later when he goes too your room and demands it back.
- Your midnight dance party’s become more frequent- and when it finally gets a little warmer you guys take to drinking out on the balcony and watching the cars drive by and the glowing turquoise neon lights of Omelas pub across the street.
- You talk about everything and anything
- Sometime you’ll walk out a 4 am and find something keeping him up- or he finds you working on an assignment.
- And you’ll go downstairs to the café or across town to your favorite dinner to cheer him up with comfort food.
- After a while Hoseok starts to realize that this is the first normal friendship that he’s had in a long long time.
- Sure the boys are great but there are no expectations between you two- it’s just effortless. Your budding friendship only building when the both of you have time.
- He doesn’t have to wear a mask with you- at all. In fact- it almost seems like you can tell when he’s hiding something. Which is something that only the boys can do.
- And he’s not sure he would have this easy relationship with you if you knew he was an idol- so he does his best to keep it from you.
- He wants too keep the little slice of normalcy he has in his little apartment above the café.
- The two of you Lying on the ground in front of fans with you when the air-conditioning breaks on the hottest day of the summer.
- Going on runs together in the morning on his day’s off.
- Coming home to find that you made too much dinner. and him trying some to find out that “shit you’re a good cook.”
- shy smiles and thankyou’s over communally consumed cups of coffee on Sunday's
- Dance parties.
- Finding your colorful socks left in the washing machine.
- One day he comes back midday to find you just home from a run- and you’re making food while bopping to some music in a sports bra and a pair of shorts that look suspiciously like his.
- And he freezes when he starts to hear you rap part of cypher pt 4.
- His part.
- He yanks out your headphones when your eyes rise to meet his and he can’t tell if the feeling in his stomach is apprehension, fear, or longing to have all of it out in the open.
- “I didn’t know you liked rap music,” he says mildly, trying to keep his tone casual. You just shrug and keep cutting up vegetables.
- “I just found this song on iTunes and it’s totally my new work out jam- Wanna stick around for lunch? I’m making veggie stir-fry.” He snags a carrot off of your cutting board.
- “Can’t I’ve gotta get back.” You just shrug and put your headphones back in.
- He confesses to the boys that you still don’t know who he is and they’re all kind of shook.
- Half of them think he should tell you- after all you’ve found they’re music so you’re bound to get curious about them enough too look up their faces one day.
- But Hoseok just can’t- he can’t help but think the knowledge that he’s an idol will change everything for your relationship.
- And besides- he’s starting to get a twinge in his heart whenever he looks your way. And he knows what it means- even if he’s too stubborn and busy to confront it yet.
- Surprisingly Jungkook understands- and advises him too keep it a secret.
- So he does. But it gets harder day-by-day.
- He goes away for a short tour- and just tells you that he has to go away for a business trip.
- He gives you his number so that you can stay in contact about the apartment (in case there’s a problem or something breaks while he’s away for the month)
- But he’s not surprised that you guys just end up texting each other every day
- You mention that you have a really big exam and that you’ll be up late that night and he calls the café downstairs and begs them to deliver- after all he has a tab racked up anyway there.
- And you open the door too one of the cooks giving you a late and something sweet with a heart drawn on the back and just an “good luck –H”
- And you can’t stop smiling for the rest of the day.
- And you realize that you’ve begun to really miss him when he’s away- and you realize that all the little gestures he makes for you.
- When he comes back you cook together for a week- because he finally has time off and you have the final push before finals.
- You guys do everything together for that week. You watch TV. go too a few museums together, take walks at night when insomnia has both of you restless
- And yes- you have your famous dance parties (that have become almost routine at this point.)
- You even cuddle up on the couch together after a movie marathon. And Hoseok almost looses it when you fall asleep on his shoulder. His hands shake as he runs his fingers through your hair.
- He never wants this too end. This quiet peace he has with you.
- With you, he can take off his mask.
- He’s always careful not too sing in the shower anymore- after all these months you still don’t know he’s an idol.
- And he’s even more worried that you’ll find out one day.
- You decorate the apartment for Christmas. With garlands, lights, and a tree in the corner by the water stain. He has a big-hit Christmas dinner to go too Christmas eve- but when he comes home he finds you watching a Christmas special on the TV.
- You smile and open up your fluffy blanket for him and he sinks into the couch next too you- taking off his tie as you ask about his day.
- Your legs are warm and bare next too his silk dress pants.
- You hand him a little gift- wrapped in gold wrapping paper.
- “Just a little something for being a good roommate, and giving me cheap rent.”
- It’s a little bracelet with the Hangeul for hope attached too it. Small and silver.
- His heart stutters- and you take his silence to be something bad.
- “You’re always talking about hope- I just-“ “I love it.”
- He looks up at you- realizing how close your faces are. He takes your hand in his.
- “Thank you y/n- it’s perfect.” You just smile up at him.
- “I got you something too.” Really he’s had it for ages- since he first started to feel love sting in his chest and tug on the strings of his heart.
- He comes back too the room too the announcer blaring into your living room – “up next a pre-recorded performance of Bangtan Sonyondan! Performing their new Christmas song!”
- and he freezes because how the fuck could he forget. It had only been a few days ago that they had finished recording the special Christmas episode.
- He thinks fast- jumping on the couch “your Christmas present is tickling!” and he tickles you until you can’t breathe around your laughter.
- He barely manages to switch the channel before the commercial ends- turning it too a Christmas movie (love actually) that coincidentally he knows you love.
- Your laugh fills his apartment as you cry. “No fair! I was watching that!”
- But you forget about it when he finally presents you with your gift. You open it slowly.
- It’s a Gucci sweater- your favorite one that you always steal from Hoseok’s closet only this one is brand new tag still on it- the price scribbled out.
- It’s easily the priciest gift you’ve ever received.
- “Hoseok… this must have been so expensive” and you’re right- the sweater was several hundred dollars more expensive then one months rent.
- Hoseok just shrugs and teases “now you wont have to steal them from me anymore.” And you pull him down into a bone-crushing hug.
- And maybe its wrong- maybe it’s horrible for him too feel something for you when you’re his roommate.
- Maybe it’s horrible of him to feel his heart beat faster when he’s been lying to you.
- Maybe its because its Christmas Eve and he has no one but you.
- He lies there for a moment. Him on top of you his head pressed into your shoulder.
- The length of his body pressed against yours- happy for another person’s warmth on this cold night.
- He falls asleep for a little while- comforted by you, and wakes up to the luxurious feeling of your fingers rubbing down his spine underneath the covers.
- Cuddles become more of a regular thing for the two of you even after this as the winter slowly shifts to spring.
- He can tell when you’ve had a bad day- he’ll just pull you down, and you’ll do the same for him.
- Your first kiss happens a few weeks after that- when you’re both cooking a communal dinner and he you just look so cute when you laugh after he accidentally flips some chicken from a pan onto the floor.
- And he accidentally acts on his hidden feelings, pressing a kiss too the corner of your mouth so quickly.
- You’re a little stunned but then you kiss him back.
- If it seems at all possible you guys become even more effortless after that- pressing kisses too his lips when he leaves and the opposite.
- It becomes natural for you too sleep in his bed.
- But you don’t realize how serious you’ve both gotten until one month you go to pay rent and he just waves his hand saying- “don’t worry about it.”
- You still both haven’t had that talk yet.
- You know the one where you define your relationship- this domestic love that is slow and lovely and so hopeful.
- You still haven’t told him how you really feel- and though he’s made his feeling clear too
- You’re certain he wouldn’t put up with how needy you are sometimes if he didn’t want you around at least a little bit.
- It still bothers you that you can’t call yourself his girlfriend yet.
- But things pick up before you can talk about it- he goes on tour again- and he feels even more horrible for lying to you day by day.
- And your finals hit- and everything goes perfectly until you get one of your grades back and you failed- like flat out failed the class- you find out at the worst time.
- Hoseok isn’t here and as far as you know he wont be back until next week.
- You’re crying in the kitchen eating ice-cream when he walks in his suitcase dragging behind him- tired from his 15 hours of plane flights.
- At this point you’re basically balling about everything- you’re just so overwhelmed.
- “Y/n’ he calls quietly. And you turned shocked. Trying to wipe away your tears before he sees.
- But he does see, and he wipes away your tears before begging you to tell him what’s wrong and you tell him about your exam and he listens too you through all of it wiping away your tears with his thumb.
- When you’re done he just pulls you too your feet and takes your hand in his.
- And leads you too the center of your kitchen- taking you in his arms.
- A hand rubbing the small of your back while taking your other hand in his large hands.
- He slow dances with you- at 3 am in his kitchen.
- There’s no music like usual- Nothing but his quiet humming.
- You lean your head against his chest.
- And you hear him humming a song you recognize- it’s a song by bts,
- Which is surprising too you- because he’s only ever told you that he doesn’t really listen to them
- When it gets to your favorite part you stop moving.
- Because his humming- the pitch of it.
- How his vocal cords wrap around the tune- sounds exactly like the voice that you hear out of your headphones.
- You look up at him and he stops humming.
- “Hoseok are you-?” you just trail off- when you realize that you’ve never asked him what he does.
- He can see you slowly putting it together- his busy schedule- his cagey personality- his obvious wealth.
- “Please I can explain if you let me, y/n just- please don’t freak out.” He pleads.
- And he sits you down before trying to explain everything too you.
- You sit quietly listening too his story.
- He looks at you with baited breath when he’s finished waiting for your response. “Please I never wanted to lie too you- but after I while I just got so scared that you would leave or move out-“
- You start laughing - and it’s a little funny the impossibility of this situation.
- The guy that millions of girls probably lust after just ends up being your roommate because you answered a misspelled add in the newspaper. (he was drunk- so you don’t blame him that much).
- After you tell him why you’re laughing his faces looses his worried expression.
- “How could you ever think that I wouldn’t want to stay- Hoseok I admire everything that you do- you work so hard and I’m just- I’m astounded I didn’t realize sooner.”
-“So you’re not mad?’ you just grin at him and shrug “Maybe a little? Maybe I could see you perform and meet the other members as an apology.”
- He introduces you as his girlfriend too the boys- and you love all of them and they all love you.
- By the end of it he can’t imagine why he was so worried about it in the first place because you’re such a natural at this.
- Bighit talks too the both of you about keeping your relationship a secret- but it doesn’t seem too be much of a problem.
- Life continues as usual- only Hoseok has someone to come home too and love him and it’s more than he ever hoped for in his life.
- Dance parties start to end with your hips pinned against the kitchen counter and his hungry lips against your neck.
- Shared Showers after dance practice turn into tender lovemaking.
- Study sessions turn sultry when he pulled you on to his lap. “Come on you know it’s more comfortable.”
- Everything is absolutely perfect.
- You graduate from college. And Hoseok takes you to your first BTS concert. And when he gets off stage you’re just there beaming at him.
- When he looks at you he realize.
- Home was never an apartment above a coffee shop.
- Home was you all along.
Bonus – during the performance you totally shout, “that’s my man!” when he does a hip roll you’ve seen him do a dozen times in your kitchen.

SPLIT LIP
HARRY OSBORN X READER
Summary - Harry gets into a fight and emotions start to unfold.
Warnings - 18+, angst, lil fluff, smut, blood, unprotected sex
// masterlist // send me your thoughts //
HE KEPT his head low as he weaved through the bustling crowd, ignoring the low gasps that slipped from the lips of those who somehow managed to catch a glimpse of his face.
None of them knew what happened, not yet at least, but he figured it wouldn’t be long before it spread around. There had been at least a dozen people out on the balcony when it all started, and given his social status it wasn’t exactly presumptuous to assume that most of them had likely recorded the encounter.
It wouldn’t surprise him in the slightest if he woke up tomorrow with a bunch of angry voicemails from his publicist, likely accompanied by screenshots of people making fun of him on Instagram for getting his ass handed to him by some random no name guy.
But it hadn’t been some random no name.
Not to Harry, at least.
He hadn’t been aware that he was holding his breath until he finally reached the private salvation of his bedroom, his needy lungs leaving him gasping for air as he crossed the threshold, roughly swinging the door shut behind him.
It shouldn’t have surprised him when it refused to close, and it certainly shouldn’t have surprised him when he turned to see your hand pressed flat against the pine, holding it open.
But it did.
“What the fuck is wrong with you, Osborn?”
Harry figured the use of his last name wasn’t a good sign and it left a particularly sour taste in his mouth (though perhaps that was just the blood he was tasting). He hadn’t realized how accustomed he had become to the cute little pet names you used for him until now, or just how much the absence of them would affect him.
Of course he didn’t let that show though. Instead, he grumbled out a rough, “Stop following me,” before continuing to trudge towards the private bathroom.
But you had grown familiar with his evasive behavior, gotten used to his lack of vulnerability, and you rarely ever let him achieve the goal that stood behind his aloof persona; to drive you away.
So you marched right behind him, mimicking his past action by pushing the door shut as you moved. This time it met no resistance, immediately clicking shut.
There was no one else coming to check on him.
“Do you have any clue how stupid that was?”
You felt like you could barely breathe as your heart rammed against your ribcage, the sound of blood rushing loudly thrumming in your ears and making it difficult to focus. Your reaction wasn’t fueled by anger, though, rather an innate fear that consumed you as soon as Peter’s fist first collided with Harry’s face.
“Apologies, darling, but I’m already gonna get an earful from the board tomorrow about how this will affect my image as CEO, alright?” He pressed his palms against the cool marble countertop and spat into the sink. You watched as the blood-tinged spit crept towards the drain as he added on, “So, please, spare me the lecture.”
The polite phrase was laced with contempt, effectively removing any trace of its inborn goodwill. But that wasn’t what had caught your attention.
A dry chuckle ripped through you, and if he had bothered to lift his head up then he would’ve seen your eyes rolling into the back of your head. “Do you really think I give a shit about your image?”
Your jaw remained slack as disbelief washed over you, leaving your head shaking. Harry Osborn was one of the most intelligent men you’d ever met, yet it never failed to amaze you just how dense he could be.
Harry’s shoulders sank a little, failing to go unnoticed by you. His lip curled, a pang of nausea coming over him. He couldn’t tell if it was caused by his injuries or from the unfamiliarity of sharing even a shred of his emotions, his voice breaking slightly as he said, “What else is there?”
“Your face?!” You cried out without hesitation. It didn’t bother you that Harry still assumed you had any regard for his status, you expected that much. But it did bother you that he didn’t think there was anything else about himself worth caring about.
Still, even your well-intentioned statement sent another wave of panic rippling throughout him, his fingers gripping the marble even harder now.
You hadn’t meant it in a shallow sort of way, even he knew that much, but it frightened him anyway. Harry already felt like he was losing his grip on everything that made him important—that made him worthy of love.
He was losing his grip on all of it; his money, his status, his career. But now he found himself staring down at the scaly patch of skin accompanying his now-bruising knuckles, beginning to realize that as his disease progressed he would be losing something else too.
What would be left of him? It was an ignorant thought, one that he knew had been fueled by his fight with Peter, but he couldn’t help but wonder anyways. What would be left for you to love when once he could no longer rely on his riches, his rank, or his allure? He knew that you weren’t shallow enough to actually care about those things, yet it still made him feel sick to his stomach.
That’s all he had ever been to anyone. A symbol, a prize, an image. He had never really felt like a person before, at least not one that people cared about. After all, no one had ever treated him like one—not his friends at boarding school, not the women who chased him, not even his own father.
Sometimes he worried that maybe there had been a reason for it. Maybe they had taken the time to peer beneath the surface, only to discover that they didn’t like what they saw. Maybe, just maybe, there truly wasn’t anything good about him aside from what he could offer others.
You almost seemed to read his mind, your demeanor softening as you watched him lean further into the counter, his mind reeling as he absently stared at the drops of blood dripping from his nose spattering into the sink.
“You know what Peter said isn’t true, right?" You took a half-step towards him, slowly closing the few feet that stood between you. You kept your voice low and soft, careful not to sound patronizing.
Harry only scoffed, moving his hand from the counter to his face. He didn’t want you to see it, whatever traces of the fist fight had been left. He hadn’t even seen it himself yet, refusing to look into the mirror.
“I’m serious, Harr.” You cooed, now close enough to place a hand against his back. He stiffened at the touch—comfort still something that was entirely foreign to him, but the pet name still soothed some of the ache in his chest. “He was just pissed, okay? So he took a few cheap shots cause he knew they’d hurt you. But that doesn’t make them true.”
They were the truth though, weren’t they?
Peter wasn’t the first one to call him out. There had been a long line of women and men alike that had spewed the same insults at him, making note of his arrogant persona and the silver spoon that hung from his lips.
But he had been the first one that had been close enough to Harry to know what insecurities to prey on in order to cut him deep. He knew about Harry’s fear of failure, the loneliness that ate at him, the crippling self-loathing that never went away.
More than that, he knew just how terrified Harry was of you seeing him the way he saw himself. And Peter knew that in an entirely selfish and fucked up way, Harry was scared absolutely shitless that you would realize that you deserved so much better than him—that you deserved someone like Peter.
“Harry-” Your hand drifted from his back to his shoulder, gently grabbing it and intending to turn him towards you, to force him to look at you.
But he refused to move. His entire attitude turned on a dime, posture straightening, though his head remained low and turned opposite of you, interrupting you with a tone sharp enough that could cut glass. “This isn’t working out.”
Your eyes widened as his words registered with you, but you didn’t move aside from that, willing your body not to react. He didn’t really mean it, although that didn’t make it any easier to hear. You knew that he was spiraling, and any attempt to disagree with him would just add fuel to an already growing fire.
So you didn’t disagree with him. Instead you crossed your arms firmly over your chest and gave a curt nod, smacking your lips as you said, “Okay.”
Harry wasn’t sure if he had expected that response from you, but he did expect you to leave. He couldn’t quite imagine the hurt that would come with watching you walk out the door, though he knew it would likely be insurmountable. There was also a hint of satisfaction, though, as he recognized that you too would leave him.
Everyone left eventually, he figured, and so maybe it was best to just get it out of the way now. Maybe it was best that he stopped wasting your time, that he didn’t force you to sit around and squander your life away on a dying man.
But you didn’t leave, shocking him as you dropped to your knees beside him, beginning to rummage through a cabinet for the first aid kit you knew was hiding somewhere within it.
When you once again rose to your feet, first aid kit in hand, you grabbed a clean cloth from the linen closet before once again coming to stand directly beside him. You didn’t have to try and forcibly move him this time, finding no need in urging him to look at you for the first time since this conversation had started.
He did it on his own, forgetting about his desire to shield the evidence of the fight from you as he was overwhelmed with a mixture of both confusion and relief.
You weren’t leaving, you hadn’t turned to walk out the door, you weren’t going to do something stupid like chase after Peter—though Harry wondered if it was really all that stupid, as he doubted that Peter would ever act in such a self-sabotaging way. You were just standing there, running warm water onto the cloth with a bit of soap.
Why didn’t you leave?
You frowned as you turned the tap off, turning to look at him and cocking your head to the side. “Guess he’s not puny Parker anymore,” you hummed sarcastically, hoping to use humor to avoid having a more dramatic reaction.
The nickname certainly didn’t fit anymore, as Peter had clearly developed a hell of a right hook sometime after puberty. Blood still oozed from Harry’s nose, and a bit from his busted lip as well, but it was thicker now than before, finally starting to slow down.
Lightly pressing the cloth to his upper lip you began to slowly clean him up, careful not to apply too much pressure. He was gonna bruise, that much was obvious, and you knew that he had been right before. The board would give him hell for this.
“So what was it?” You asked as plainly as possible.
Harry squinted at you. “What are you talking about?”
“You threw the first punch.” You clarified. He flinched when you started to dab around his split lip, and so you tried to make your touch lighter. “So what was it that pushed you over the edge?”
He hesitated, sucking in a breath before mumbling something incoherent. Frowning, you lightly nudged against his leg with your foot. “Gotta be a little louder than that.” You teased him.
For a moment you could’ve sworn you saw his mouth twitch into a slight smile, his eyes rolling slightly. It made you smile, too.
“You know how Peter is,” Harry eventually spoke after another long pause, finally sounding a bit more like himself in spite of the animosity he held towards Pete. “he’s never known when to shut his mouth.”
It was more than he had spoken this whole time, but he still knew from the expectant way you were staring at him that it hadn’t quite been enough to satisfy you. He was holding back and you both knew it.
He sighed. “He was talking about you. Apparently Parker’s incapable of letting go of what could’ve been.”
You couldn’t help but grin at the way he sneered, although you knew it was probably wrong to indulge in him making fun of your friend. To be fair, Peter deserved it sometimes, tonight being a prime example of that.
There might’ve been a time in which you would’ve jumped at the opportunity to be with Peter, but that ship had long since sailed, whether Peter liked it or not. If anything, you were thankful that things hadn’t worked out between the two of you, because now you couldn’t imagine a world in which you were with anyone other than Harry.
“Pete’s always been a bit delusional.” You tried to suppress your laugh, still focused on cleaning Harry up. Somewhat satisfied with the amount of blood you’d cleaned from his pale skin, you sat the cloth down on the counter and reached for the first aid kid.
Another brief moment of silence settled over you both as Harry battled with himself again, debating letting another moment of vulnerability slip out. You didn’t dare say anything, allowing him time to process his thoughts as you grabbed a stack of gauze from the kit.
His tongue carefully traced over his bottom lip, his face screwing up as the subtle movement agitated the wound on it, the taste of copper overwhelming his senses. “Is he?”
Those two little words were all he was willing to share, but they told you more than enough, guiding you towards the type of comfort he needed right now.
You nodded, folding a piece of gauze over onto itself, your gaze fixating on the shiny spot of red dripping from his lip. You pressed the gauze against it, applying some pressure. “I think so.” You told him. “I couldn’t imagine being with someone like Peter.”
Harry’s brows snapped together at the claim, clearly unwilling to believe it. “Oh, you mean someone kind and caring and who literally has an IQ of two-fucking-fifty?”
It was your turn to react, donning a much more lighthearted expression than his as you struggled to contain your amusement at the sight of his cerulean eyes growing so wide. “Do you want to date Peter, Har?”
He practically growled at your joke, and admittedly the sound affected you far more than it should’ve. Your cheeks developed a slight red-tinge, trying to regain your focus on his wounds as you moved to replace the gauze you were holding.
“No,” he spoke roughly, “I’m just trying to say that he’s exactly the type of guy you should want to be with.”
Your nose wrinkled, making it clear that you disagreed with his statement. You halted your previous movements, leaving the gauze where it laid on the counter and offering your hand to him. He only stared at it. “Come sit down with me.” you urged, moving it a little closer to his. When he didn’t move again, you tacked on a desperate, “Please.”
Harry had never been good at denying you when you used that voice with him, his heart and brain simultaneously turning to mush whenever you’d flash your best puppy dog eyes.
So he obliged, careful to give you his left hand instead of his right. The one that hadn’t been affected by his disease just yet.
You led him out of the bathroom and back to his bedroom, stopping only when you reached the king sized bed that laid in the middle of the room, making him sit down on it beside you before you were willing to pick your conversation back up.
“Do you really think Peter is the type of guy I should be with?”
It pained you to even consider that Harry truly thought such a thing. For it to be a thought fueled by insecurity would be one thing, but for it to be a God’s honest belief of his would be something else entirely.
He didn’t answer you, only focusing his attention on your hand as it remained wrapped around his. You knew the answer, though, even if you wished you didn’t.
“Okay,” you breathed out, “then let’s talk about a world where I’m with Peter instead of you, okay?”
Harry scowled. “I’d rather not.”
“Too bad.” You shot back, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. “You’re right,” you admitted despite knowing the statement would make him squirm uncomfortably beside you, “Peter is all of those things you mentioned.”
“Great.” Harry grumbled through his teeth, cursing when you then elbowed him in the side for interrupting you.
“But Peter has faults too, Harr. Big ones.” You breathed out a weak laugh. Slowly you tried to piece together your thoughts, carefully choosing your words so they couldn’t be misconstrued by his trauma-ridden mind.
“I don’t like the way Peter makes me feel.” Your tone was cautious, sounding out each syllable with great care.
Harry didn’t bother to look up at you, fixating on the sight of your fingers interlaced with his, but you knew he was listening. He always listened to you.
“Don’t get me wrong, he’s my friend and I care about him. But… he treats me like I’m fragile. Like I’m something he needs to save.” You shifted slightly, suddenly feeling a little exposed. But you didn’t let yourself stop, not yet. “I never feel like a person with Peter. Not really, at least.” Harry’s breath caught in his throat. He knew what that was like, though he’s never shared it with you before. “He doesn’t actually see me.”
The admission hung in the air between you for a moment before Harry replied, his voice wavering as he said, “Do I?” You furrowed your brows at him and so he clarified, “Do I make you feel… I don’t know, seen or whatever…”
It was odd to hear Harry speak in such a casual manner, to see the ways in which he tried to come across as dismissive while still working on bearing his emotions to you. You put a great deal of effort into not smiling at it, not wanting your innocent amusement to create any additional insecurity for him.
“Always.” You answered swiftly, lovingly brushing your thumb against the back of his hand. “That’s why I’m with you, Harry.”
His eyes grew glossy, his head immediately dipping down as the tears threatened to spillover. Emotions had always felt like a weakness to him.
But you had grown tired of letting him hide himself away from you tonight. You pried your hand from his, crawling over so you were no longer sitting beside him, your knees pressed into the mattress as your legs settled on either side of him as you sat in his lap.
Tender hands reached to cup his cheeks, collecting the tears that had gathered on them as you gently forced him to look at you once again. At first he tried to fight it, but he soon realized there was no use. He let himself succumb to the comforting nature of your touch, instinctively nuzzling into your hand.
“I’m with you because I love you, Harr.” You hadn’t said those words before, and you refused to look away as you repeated yourself, “I love you. Not your money or Oscorp or anything other than you, okay?” He blinked, more tears escaping as he did, but he didn’t respond. So you repeated yourself again, needing to hear his confirmation, to know that he understood. “You know that, don’t you?”
He truly wanted to believe you, to have absolutely no doubts. But the dark thoughts crept in, filling every corner of his mind. The words of his friends, of past lovers, of his father.
His lip trembled. “But there’s nothing to love.’
You cringed as you felt the weight of that word—love. You’d dreamt of hearing him say it, and you knew that he felt it for you, but you had never imagined it sounding like that.
He said it like it was contaminated, like it was something to fear.
It broke your heart and stunned you at the same time, your mouth left agape as you fell speechless. You weren’t certain of what to say, of what to do to soothe him. You’d always known that Harry had been broken by his past, but this was perhaps the first time that you’d realized how extensive the damage truly was.
His name escaped your mouth, the only thought crossing your mind as you threw your arms around his neck and collapsed against him, nearly sending him tumbling back onto the mattress at the sudden weight. But he braced himself, his own hands moving to your back as he leaned forwards, instinctively balancing out your actions and keeping you both upright.
“There’s so much, Harr.” Your lips were pressed against his ear as you whispered, so desperate for him to hear you. The ache in your own chest grew stronger at the thought of him ever doubting your feelings for him, even for a second. “There are so many things to love about you!”
His body was unmoving against yours as you squeezed him even tighter, turning the tables and fighting against your own emotions now. You held in a sob, wanting your words to be as clear as possible, “You deserve love, Harry Osborn.”
And, for the first time, something inside of him snapped into place. He hadn’t forced you to be here. He hadn’t even asked you to waste your life on a dying man. If anything, he had pushed you away. He had practically begged you to leave on more than one occasion.
But you never did.
You wanted to be here. Not because of what you might gain from him or for what he could offer, but simply because you cared for him. You wanted to take care of him, to clean his wounds and call him out on his bullshit.
He bit his cheek hard enough to draw blood and you gasped as he suddenly mimicked your actions, his arms tightening around you as he buried his face against your neck.
“I love you, y/n.”
The word didn’t sound as harsh this time, as if he had begun to untangle the fear that had others have woven around it. It was light. Genuine.
“I’m bad at showing it—trust me, I know—but I really, really do.”
He let his walls down, forcing himself to swallow his pride right alongside his anxiety. He knew that he didn’t need to put on an act with you, that he didn’t need to cherry pick his words to ensure they wouldn’t be twisted in some malicious way.
With you, he didn’t need to be an Osborn, cruel and calculated.
He could just be Harry.
“I don’t understand it,” he admitted,”but it’s just–I don’t know, I just look at you and I love you so much. I see you and I know that there is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you, absolutely nothing. And you’re just so…” a particularly hard laugh vibrated against your skin, “crazy. Crazy to ever give a shit about someone like me.”
You laughed too. “And you’re an idiot,” you leaned back slightly, sliding a palm in between your bodies to try and push him back a touch, wanting to look at him, “for ever thinking that I’d give a shit about anyone else.’
And as soon as the sentence had left your lips, your eyes drifted to his and seeing the way they gleamed with a glorious mix of both love and lust, it was over.
Your lips collided with his, so fast that it was impossible to tell which of you had started to lean in first. There wasn’t much about it that was gentle, though, despite the innocent admissions that had led to this moment.
With your palms still pressed to his chest you shoved him back against the mattress, feeling it dip beneath your combined weight. Your lips never parted as you laid against him, the two of you locked into an endless hungry kiss that melded into another and another.
One of his hands slides from your waist to your stomach, fingertips delicately tracing your skin, and you felt as if you were on fire everywhere he touched. A soft moan slipped from your mouth and into his, only serving to encourage him further as he started to toy with the button on your jeans.
Your head was spinning by the time he finally pulled away from you, already leaving a wet trail of kisses against your jawline as you gasped for a breath. There was a faint taste of blood in your mouth, a sign that you’d agitated the wound on his lip, but neither of you cared.
It was all you could do to focus on his movements, edging towards your neck, his teeth lightly grazing against your pulse and eliciting a lewd whine. You felt him smirk against your skin at the sound, a firm hand pressing into your waist as he jutted his hips against yours, the friction making him groan before he nipped at your skin again.
“I love you,” he breathed out against your collar bone, his tongue delicately tracing against the sensitive spot, “so much.”
Your own breathing was uneven, entirely uncontrolled as you’d already turned into a writhing mess of moans, your only coherent thoughts fueled by your desire to feel him.
You pulled away from his assault on your throat, and you nearly melted when he looked up at you; darkened eyes pooling with desire, his lips gleaming with a mix of both of your saliva and a bit of blood.
As your gaze drifted south you realized that one thing was clear: he needed to be wearing far less clothing.
There was no hesitation in tugging at the hem of his shirt, urging him to help you remove it. Harry had already unbuttoned your pants, unzipped them, too, and so you quickly shimmied out of them and tossed your own shirt to the side as he worked on his own pants.
You moved to sit on top of him again but he stopped you, changing positions and forcing you to lay back against the mattress, hovering over you. He looked down at your body, admiring it, his index finger tracing along the curve of your waist, your back arching slightly as he moved towards your thigh.
“Needy,” he chastised with a low chuckle, but didn’t hesitate as he began to shift himself lower on the bed, clearly intending on first using his mouth to get you off. You stopped him, though, your fingers digging into his shoulders.
He paused, following your gaze as it settled just below his waist. You licked your lips, voice low as you barely managed to get out, “Please.”
Foreplay felt unnecessary right now, maybe even a touch cruel. You didn’t wanna waste time on it, desperate to have him closer.
Luckily, Harry was never one to deny you what you wanted, already guiding himself towards your entrance, his swollen tip pressing against you before—
There was a fucking knock on the door.
Your head jolted up from the mattress, both of your necks snapping in the direction of the sound, Harry’s dick still in his hand as you both froze.
“Hey Harry,” you nearly groaned, letting your head fall back against the mattress as you heard Peter’s muffled voice through the door. “I just figured we should talk, alright? I wanted to check on you. And apologize, ya know?”
You looked at Harry, his gaze meeting yours. It took every ounce of willpower you had to keep your hips still, your body desperately wanting to grind against him. “Tell him to leave!” You hissed, trying to stay quiet.
Peter knocked again. “Harry?”
You expected Harry to say something dismissive towards Peter, watching as his mouth fell open to speak. But no sound ever came, his blue eyes suddenly twinkling with something strikingly similar to ill intent.
Then, before you’d had time to even unravel his plan he had already roughly sheathed himself fully inside of you, fingernails digging into your hips as a guttural moan fell from your lips, loud enough that Peter surely heard it.
He leaned in close, his breath tickling your ear as he said–“I think he’ll get the message.”
