A/N: Hello friends! I took quite the hiatus from writing. I've had lots of ideas flowing but no motivation to actually write them :( but I am going to try and push some out for the holidays. I hope this idea/concept makes sense. Please tell me if it doesn't and I can add an explanation!!
<3 Billie
"if I didn't love you, it would be fine"
Can't meet you for dinner at the Italian place...
The table held the awkward space between you as you recalled the last time you were both at this restaurant. You stared off at the booth in the corner. It felt like yesterday that you and Matt sat across from his parents, meeting them for the first time.
"How's your mom doing?" you asked, breaking the silence.
"She's good. She asks about you all the time. She misses you," Matt responded looking in your eyes. You felt a pang in your chest.
"I miss her too," you said with a slight frown. The relationship you had with MaryLou while you were dating Matt was so good. She was like a second mom to you. You pitied the many women who hated their mother in-laws because you absolutely adored her.
"Why don't you come home and say hi for a bit?" Matt offered.
a few hours later
Your legs were tangled up with Matt's as you rested your head on his bare chest. Both of you were breathless and trying to figure out how meeting up to 'talk' ended up with you in his bedroom at his parents' house.
I'd suggest the jazz bar on MaryAnn Street...
The soft saxophone music played in the background as you and Matt sat at a small table in the corner. "I want to apologize for how things ended between us," Matt sighed. You fiddled with your purse strap as you listened to him talk. "It wasn't fair to you to not think about how my career was going to impact you and us."
"I feel like you chose your career over me," you spoke softly.
Matt's face softened. "I know. I have my priorities straight now. Can I buy you a drink?"
One drink lead to another. Somehow Matt's face ended up between your thighs as you gripped onto your bedsheets. You missed him and definitely missed this.
If we have wine...
Matt's lips were flavored with merlot. Even though you preferred a riesling, you couldn't get enough. Your lips chased his as he backed you up against the bed. You weren't sure where your clothes had gone but you didn't really care. "I want you," he whispered. Matt left open mouthed kisses along your jaw as his hand slipped down your torso. You moaned softly. The night started casually. Matt stopped by to have a chat and catch up over a glass of wine. A few hours later, there were two empty wine bottles on the table.
You said let's do the park 'cause I love the park...
The park swing held your body in a hug as you caught up with Matt. It felt like it had been ages since you saw each other, but really, just a few months. It started off a bit awkward, but you warmed up slowly. Then, the rain began. It poured on you both as you laughed running to his car for shelter. Inside the car, the two of you talked for hours until darkness crept in. It didn't take long for your heated kisses to make the windows to steam up as Clairo played through the speakers.
I'll meet you for coffee...
The warmth of the mug increased the perspiration in your nervous hands as you sat across from your ex. "How are you?" he asked.
You nodded, "I'm doing good actually. How are you?"
He gave you a genuine smile, happy to know that you have been doing well. Matt felt a lot of guilt around your breakup and was hoping that you were doing okay. You both chatted about his career and your schooling. The world felt at peace and almost back to normal. Both of you relieved to have the friendship back.
But the feelings in your heart crept out of hiding each time Matt laughed or recalled a memory between the two of you.
So let's not do coffee, let's not even try.

Rapper!chris x singer!reader Content: tooth rotting fluff, thats basically it Status: established relationship
Chris had been restless all day. You could tell from the way he kept bouncing his knee at dinner, his fingers tapping out a beat on the table while you tried to tell him about your studio session earlier. He wasnât being rudeânot intentionally. You knew his mind was elsewhere. It usually was when he got stuck in his creative process.
Now it was well past midnight, and you were curled up on the couch in his apartment, your legs draped over his lap as a late-night sitcom hummed quietly in the background. Chrisâs arm rested loosely on your shin, his fingers drawing patterns on your skin while he stared off into the distance.
âYouâre still thinking about that verse, arenât you?â you asked softly, breaking the quiet.Chris blinked, his gaze snapping back to you. âHuh?â
âThe one you couldnât finish earlier. Youâre stuck.â
He sighed, leaning his head back against the couch. âYeah. Itâs like... I can hear what I want it to sound like, but I canât figure out the words. Itâs just frustrating, ya know?â
You nodded. Youâd been there beforeâthose days when the music felt just out of reach,it was like trying to grab water with your hands.
âYouâre overthinking it,â you said gently. âYou always do it when youâre tired.â
Chris groaned, scrubbing a hand over his face. âProbably. But y'know I canât turn my brain off. Itâs like every time I close my eyes, the beatâs just there, looping over and over again.â
You shifted, sitting up a little straighter. âMaybe you just need to relax,â you suggested. âDo something to take your mind off it.â
âWill you sing to me?â he asked, his tone bordering on desperate. You hesitated and raised an eyebrow, your lips twitching into a small smirk.
âSure,â you said with a laugh. Chris stretched out on the couch, his head resting on the armrest, and you pulled a blanket over him. His legs were long enough that they hung off the other end, and you couldnât help but smile at how he lookedâa little less like the confident tough rapper the world saw and more like the teddy bear boy you knew.
It had to be something soft, something calming, something... meaningful.
You started humming first, letting the melody settle in the quiet space between you. Then, softly, you began to sing one of your favorite songsâa gentle one that had always felt like home to you. Your voice was low and steady, the lyrics flowing like a gentle stream.
Chrisâs eyes fluttered closed almost immediately, his breathing slowing as he listened. The hand rested on his chest that was tapping ruthyms, suddenly stopped.
âDamn,â he murmured after a minute, his voice barely audible. âYou sound good, ma.â
You smiled, pausing for a moment to reply. âItâs not like you havenât heard me sing before.â
âNot like this,â he said, his voice muffled against the skin of your thighs. âItâs...different.â
Your fingers brushed through his hair, the soft curls springing back into place after each pass. As the song ended, you switched to another.
âDonât stop,â he whispered, his voice heavy with sleep.
âI wasnât planning to,â you said quietly, the words like a promise.
You kept singing, your voice wrapping around the room like a warm blanket. And as you did, you noticed the way Chrisâs body sank deeper into the couch, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.
Eventually, his breathing evened out completely, and you realized heâd fallen asleep.
For a moment, you just watched him. He looked so peaceful, his features softened in a way you didnât get to see often. The weight of his public personaâthe cool, confident rapper everyone adoredâwas gone, leaving behind just Chris.
You leaned down, pressing a kiss to his forehead. âGoodnight,â you whispered.
There was something about moments like thisâquiet, simple, and unglamorousâthat made everything else in life feel a little easier.
Maybe tomorrow, Chris would wake up with the words heâd been looking for. But tonight, youâd given him what he really needed.
Rest.

Chris stifled a yawn as he padded down the hallway, bleary-eyed and only half awake. The morning sun was already filtering through the blinds, casting stripes of golden light onto the hardwood floor. As he made his way into the living room, though, he stopped in his tracks.
There she was, leaning over the coffee table with a coffee mug in one hand, a pen in the other, scribbling something in her pink, sticker-covered planner.
Chris blinked a couple of times to make sure he wasnât seeing things, but noâshe was definitely wearing his favorite sweatshirt, the one with a subtle logo on the chest and a hole in the left cuff. Except now, it looked completely different.
The hem of the oversized hoodie hung just past her mid-thigh, and somehow, sheâd managed to tuck the fabric at her waist so that it had a cute, cropped shape. Her hair was styled in her usual soft waves, a pastel pink bow clipped to one side, matching her cozy socks.
And, as always, sheâd accessorized: a delicate bracelet on one wrist and a small chain necklace with a charm heâd given her on their last anniversary. His hoodie wasnât just an old favorite anymoreâit looked like it belonged to her.
Chris didnât know whether to laugh, sigh, or tease her.âMorning, fashion thief,â he said, trying to keep a straight face as he leaned against the doorframe.
She looked up with a mischievous grin. âOh, hi! Youâre up early,â she replied, not missing a beat. âAnd what do you mean, thief? I donât see your name on it.â
Chris raised an eyebrow and walked over, flopping onto the couch next to her.
âI donât need my name on itâitâs mine. Youâve got an entire closet. Howâd you end up in my stuff?â
She shrugged, brushing it off casually but with a little smirk tugging at her lips. âItâs comfy, plus it goes with my vibe.â She tugged at the hoodie with both hands, making it cinch at her waist in a way that made Chrisâs heart flip a little. âBesides, it needed a little personality. You knowâfeminine touch.â
Chris chuckled, shaking his head. âYouâre lucky it looks good on you,â he said, trying to sound unaffected.
âLucky?â She leaned closer, tilting her head in mock suspicion. âAre you saying you wouldnât wear it if it was pink and had bows on it?â
Chris rolled his eyes but couldnât hold back a laugh. âI mean, I might. For the right person, maybe.â He pulled the hood over her head, tugging it lightly to mess up her hair.
She laughed, smoothing out her hair as she fixed him with a playful glare. âAlright, since you seem so attached to it, maybe Iâll just keep it forever.â
âOh, really?â Chris leaned in, challenging her with a raised eyebrow. âYou think you can pull off my style all the time?â
âPlease,â she said, scoffing playfully. âI make your style look good. Honestly, you should be paying me for the upgrade.â She struck a dramatic pose, as if she were on a runway, making him laugh even harder.
Chris watched her for a moment, admiring how effortlessly she brought her own style to everythingâeven his old sweatshirt. There was something special about seeing her blend her world with his, making his things her own. And honestly, he loved it.
Chris grinned as she kept playfully twirling in his sweatshirt, striking overly dramatic poses that were so far from his usual laid-back style that he couldnât help but laugh. She looked like a cute, rebellious version of herself, and he could see just how much fun she was having.
âAlright, Miss Fashionista,â he said, scooting closer on the couch and narrowing his eyes. âIf youâre so good at making my clothes look âbetter,â then I dare you to style a full outfitâhead to toeâin my clothes.â She stopped mid-pose, an eyebrow raised. âOh, you donât think Iâd do it?â
âOh, I think you would,â Chris replied, a teasing spark in his eye. âI just donât think youâd be able to pull off an entire outfit.â
âChallenge accepted.â She set down her coffee mug and folded her arms confidently, tilting her chin up. âGet ready, because Iâm about to turn âgrunge casualâ into something fabulous.â Chris leaned back, arms crossed, thoroughly entertained.
âGo for it. My closet is all yours.âA few minutes later, Chris was still lounging on the couch when he heard her rustling around in his bedroom. His closet wasnât exactly a treasure trove of optionsâhoodies, oversized tees, a couple of flannels, and a few beaniesâbut he had a feeling she could make even the simplest pieces look good.
After some rummaging and the occasional giggle, she finally emerged.
Chrisâs eyes widened as he took in the sight of her, now fully decked out in an outfit that was unmistakably his, but with a twist only she could pull off.
Sheâd layered one of his favorite oversized flannels over a plain white tee, which sheâd tucked into a pair of shorts sheâd found in his drawer (or maybe they were boxersâit was hard to tell).
Sheâd rolled the sleeves just slightly and even added a pair of mismatched socks to the look, one knee-high and one scrunched down to her ankle. A chain necklace heâd forgotten he even owned hung loosely around her neck, and sheâd topped it all off with one of his beanies pulled snugly over her curls, though her pink bow still peeked out from underneath.
She stood in front of him, hands on her hips, giving a sassy little twirl. âWhat do you think? Rocking the Chris Sturniolo brand or what?â
Chris couldnât help but laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. âI donât even look that good in my own clothes,â he admitted, gesturing for her to do a spin. She obliged, grinning as she gave him a little twirl before flopping onto the couch beside him.
âYouâre not so bad yourself,â she teased, nudging him with her elbow. âBut see? This,â she gestured down at the outfit, âis what happens when you add a little personality.â
Chris shrugged, trying to play it cool even though he couldnât help but be captivated by how cute she looked. âYeah, alright, you got me. You actually make my clothes look like they belong on someone famous.â
She feigned offense, placing a hand on her chest. âChris! Are you saying youâre not famous?â
âOh, come on, you know what I mean,â he laughed, trying to hide how his cheeks were probably turning red.
âBut seriously, youâre killing it. I think I might just let you keep this one,â he added, tugging at the hem of the flannel she was wearing.
âOh, thatâs so generous of you,â she said sarcastically. âBut you know what? I think I might just have to keep all of these,â she teased, winking.
He shook his head, though his grin stayed plastered on his face.
âFine, take âem all,â he said, pretending to sigh. âBut on one condition.â
âOh yeah? Whatâs that?â
âYou have to wear this exact outfit next time we go out,â he said, his expression suddenly serious. âLike, full on, head-to-toe Chris Sturniolo.â
She gasped dramatically, playing along. âAre you asking me to step out in public like this? I donât know if the world is ready.â
âOh, Iâm serious. The world needs to see this masterpiece.âShe rolled her eyes, leaning back into the couch with a playful grin.
âNo way. That would ruin my reputation and my ego. No offense but only you can go out in public and look hot as fuck dressed like Christopher Sturniolo.â
For a few quiet moments, they sat together in comfortable silence, her head on his shoulder as they both scrolled through their phones. Chris caught himself sneaking glances at her every now and then, still not quite over how she could take anything of his and make it look amazing.
Then she sighed, looking up at him with that mischievous sparkle back in her eyes. âYou know,â she said, biting back a smile, âif youâre that into my style, maybe next time you should try wearing something of mine.â
Chrisâs eyebrows shot up, and he immediately started to protest, but she just laughed, already planning out what she could make him wear.

Summary: Chris has been away for weeks and when he finally returns, he can't keep his hands to himself. Warnings: suggestive material, use of y/n Word count: 700
It had been two weeks since Chris had left for tour, and the separation was starting to take its toll. The messages, the calls, the video chatsâthey were all sweet, but nothing compared to being in the same room as him, feeling his presence, his warmth, his touch. The absence of him was starting to gnaw at you.
When Chris finally came back home, you knew it wouldn't be long before he was at your door, his scent and warmth filling the room, replacing the emptiness he'd left behind.
The moment you opened the door, he was on you, arms pulling you into his chest with a sense of urgency that sent your heart racing.
His lips pressed against yours in a kiss so desperate, so full of need that it made you dizzy.
He stepped back, his eyes searching your face, but his hands didnât leave your body, tracing the familiar curves like he was reacquainting himself with something he had been starved for. His voice was thick with longing when he spoke, "I need you," he rasped. "I need you right now."
You swallowed hard, caught in the intensity of his gaze. "I thought youâd be tired," you whispered, though your body betrayed you, leaning into him, craving the connection as much as he did.
Chris shook his head, a soft growl escaping his lips. âI havenât been able to stop thinking about you. Not once.â His hands roamed down to your waist, his thumbs brushing the skin exposed by your shirt, leaving shivers in their wake. "I need to feel you."
The urgency in his voice and the way his hands tightened on you made it impossible to resist. You could feel his need, raw and undeniable. His lips found your neck, nipping at the sensitive skin, his hands pulling you closer until there was no space left between you.
You let out a breath, trying to catch your bearings, but the moment he kissed you again, all coherent thoughts left your mind. Your body responded instinctively, pressing into him, hands running through his hair, pulling him closer.
"Missed you so much," he muttered between kisses, his voice was strained, as if saying the words was the only way to hold himself together.
You didnât need words. You could feel the ache in his touch, the desperation in the way his hands gripped you. The space between you had been too wide for too long, and now he was closing it, pouring all his pent up frustration, longing, and love into every movement.
He pushed you gently against the wall, lips still capturing yours with intensity. His hands slid under your shirt, skimming over your skin, as if reacquainting himself with every inch of you.
"Let me love you Y/N," he whispered, voice trembling with need. "Let me remind you how much you mean to me."
With a soft sigh, you nodded, already moving to pull him closer, hands desprately undoing the buttons of his shirt. The moment was dizzyingâlike the world had fallen away, leaving just the two of you, craving the touch you had both been deprived of.
As the minutes passed, the urgency only grew. Clothes were discarded, and soon there was nothing but the heat of his body against yours, his hands everywhere, caressing, kneading, claiming.
Each touch was like a promise, each kiss a reminder of everything you had both missed.
Chrisâs lips found your ear, his voice low and rough. "I'm going to make up for every second Iâve been gone," he murmured, as his hands guided you toward the bed. "I'm going to show you just how much I need you."
But now that he was back, he wasnât going to let anything stop him.
guys im sorry I would go further but I am terrified to write smut because it would be so bad. I guess if anyone has tips you should share themđ€
Warnings: use of Y/N Word count: 800
Y/Nâs life looked perfect from the outside.
A platinum-selling popstar by 21, her face was plastered on billboards, magazines, and perfume ads. She had a smile people called americaâs sweetheart and a wardrobe curated to matchâevery outfit was coordinated and perfected, delicate bows, nothing too bold, too controversial. She was the music industryâs golden girl, the dream they packaged and sold to the world.
But behind the staged interviews and perfectly scripted moments, she was exhausted.
"Sit up straight. Smile more. Donât laugh too loudly." Her managerâs voice rang in her ears even when he wasnât there. It had been like this since she was sixteen, when her first single blew up and the industry decided she was their next barbie doll.
She wasnât allowed to post without approval. Her interviews were filtered. Her dating life? Nonexistent. Or rather it was all manufactured for PRâfake relationships, fake drama, all controlled to keep the fake fans invested but never too invested.
"Scandals ruin careers," they told her. "Youâre not like those other artists. You have a brand to protect."
And she had listened. For years, she listened.
Even now, sitting in the back of a sleek black SUV on her way to a meeting, she could hear the same lecture coming.
"We have to talk about your image," her manager, Seth, started from the passenger seat. His clipboard sat on his lap, covered in notes she wasnât allowed to see yet.
"Your last interview was good, but the fans are picking up on some⊠discrepancies."
Y/N sighed and adjusted the black satin bow in her hair. "Discrepancies?"
"Yes. You hesitated when they asked about your love life. You need to be more firm when denying rumors. The last thing we want is people thinking youâre sneaking around with someone."
She bit the inside of her cheek. "But Iâm not sneaking around with anyone."
"Exactly," Seth said. "So letâs keep it that way."
Her grip tightened around her phone. It wasnât just dating. It was everything. What she wore, what she posted, even how she spokeâall filtered through a team that saw her less as a person and more as a product.
She wanted to scream.
Instead, she smiled. Nodded. Pretended she didnât feel the walls closing in.
Chris Sturniolo however, didnât pretend for anyone.
If Y/Nâs life was perfectly polished, Chrisâs was the oppositeâchaotic and unfiltered
A rapper who built his career from scratch, he was raw talent with a reckless mouth. The industry hated that they couldnât control him, and he loved pissing them off.
He didnât play by their rules.
He spoke without thinking, called out fake bullshit in interviews, and ignored every PR crisis his team begged him to address. The fans loved it. The brands? Not so much.
"Chris you gotta stop picking fights on X," his manager, Josh sighed as they walked into the studio.
"Youâre already on thin ice with nike after that last stunt."
Chris scoffed, pushing open the door. "Bro they started it. Iâm not gonna sit there and let some upper class business puppet talk shit about me."
Josh rubbed his temples. "You called him an upper class business puppet first."
"And?"
Chris didnât care. He didnât need sponsorships. He had musicâreal music. He wasnât some label manufactured star who needed to be told what to say or how to act. He wrote his own lyrics, controlled his own sound, and if people had a problem with that, well they could go fuck themselves.
"You remember that popstar chick I told you about?" Josh cut in, changing the subject before Chris could go on another rant.
Chris raised a brow. "Which one?"
"The one your label wants you to collab with. Y/N Y/L/N."
Chris stopped walking.
Her?
The name wasnât unfamiliar. He had seen her everywhereâperfect smile, perfect outfits, music that dominated the charts. She was the type of artist the industry loved to control.
Chris smirked. "They seriously think me and her make sense?"
Josh sighed. "Itâs strategic. Sheâs popâs prized posession, youâre the industryâs problem child. People eat up that contrast."
Chris chuckled, shaking his head. He knew how this game worked. Pairing them together wasnât about making good musicâit was about making headlines.
"Whatever," he said, pulling out his phone. "As long as the songâs fire, I donât care." But deep down he was a little curious.
Chris was about to find out if there was anything real beneath that polish.
