Good To Me | Dave East by Dedra_Tarese

Solani is the type of woman who lights up any room she walks into. She's single, fun, got her own job, her own place, and her weekends stay booked and busy. She's not pressed about finding love-if it happens, it happens. When her best friend and her fiancé plan a pre-wedding trip to Hawaii with the whole wedding party, Solani is all in. She's just there to have fun and maybe sip a few margaritas. But once she meets Demetri, the best man's best friend, all that "I'm just here to chill" talk goes out the window. He's fine, laid-back, and got that confidence that makes her nervous in the best way. What starts as playful flirting turns into something deeper. The two start spending every day together on the trip-late-night talks, laughing, and vibes that feel too good to be temporary. But once the plane lands back home, real life hits. Suddenly, those vacation feelings start to clash with the reality waiting for them both.

Taking the blame by ZuuranArt

Two people who only know how to hurt, until silence says more than their mouths ever could. When a drunken night pulls old scars to the surface, one lashes out in desperation, demanding closeness from the one person he fears losing..while the other, cold and quiet, becomes a mirror he can't read anymore. Through twisted words and clumsy touches, a bitter truth slips out, not just about what they mean to each other, but how much of themselves they've hidden behind pride and pain. A slow unraveling of trauma, longing, and miscommunication, until the silence breaks them both. It's time to let go.

You were able to move a little bit, but not more than a few feet. You could hear cheering through the concrete walls that surrounded you. What you couldn't see, however, was the mountain of a man watching you from the shadows of that room. (König x Reader)
