It started as a game.
"You seem to dislike me, but any girl here would like to go out with me"
"Any girl?"
"Any. I'll bet you, just say how much"
"Ok, 20 bucks on the blond one"
Then we kept going on this silly road, sometimes he'd leave with the girls he invited in the restaurant I work in, others times he didn't. And we bet every single time. I never really noticed he'd look at me every time he left with someone. We kept playing.
But sometimes we don't know there is so much more at stake.

I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Maybe Us. (Vance Hopper x FEM! Reader)
You had been attending the same school for over 15 years, obviously because you were born in the small town in North Carolina. You were living a pretty normal life, till all of the abductions started happening in 1977. But lets go back a bit. Lets go back to the year 1976. You had been on a night shift on November 18th, 1976. There were many more people than your previous shift. Really the only people there were dropouts, druggies, drug dealers, freaks, and alcoholics. All around the ages 14-22. Everybody was pretty chill with eachother, except for a few people, but that was just the minority. You had been zoned out while staring at the clock, then suddenly heard a DING! Some kid wanted to buy some cigarettes again. You looked at him and he said "Jesus kid, you in a mental insitute or something? Snap out of it." you ringed him up after he asked you for a pack of camels, and then looked at a familiar guy playing pinball. The same blonde that got over 100,000 his last time he came. Everybody started hyping him up, so he's trying to beat 100,000. You remember the mess you had to clean up after some kid accidently knocked over a bunch of beer. You like to not think about how it ruined your favorite pair of shoes. He messed up again, and kicked the machine. You yelled out to him "That thing costs money you know." then he looked at you. His face almost looked angelic. But he had been the jerk of your highschool, so he couldn't be that angelic. He looked away and picked at his pockets. He pulled out nothing. He started walking up to you and started asking for a dime. "Come on, I feed you guys this money all the damn time. Plus you will just get it back." "Then maybe don't waste all your money on pinball. We've gained around $200 with you coming here almost everyday. Thanks for that." and then you smiled while picking up your book. He looked at you in anger, then you looked back up at him. He looked like he was in a bad mood. "Here's a dime." you said handing him a dime.Complete

Mr. Bad And I
By sensing my presence, he sits up and faces me while that girl covers herself with sheets, and he asks with a smirk, "You want to join? We can do a threesome," looking up and down. I was frozen in my spot; he made his way slowly towards me, and I watched each of his moves carefully. He is so handsome. Blue eyes, they are so beautiful. Shaking the thought, I open my mouth, but no words come out. I shake my head as if to say no, and then I clear my throat and whisper, "N-No." He smirks, "Are you sure we can have double fun, kitten?" I shake my head with shock and mumble, "Y-Yes......." "Then why are you here, to watch me?" he asked rudely. "N-No...A-Actually I'm l-looking for a w-washroom." I stutter in fear and slowly take a step back. "Oh..." With sadness, he closes his eyes and exhales sharply.
