Cerulean Butterflies

Dabi x Good Girl Reader

You just can't help but let him in when Dabi comes calling, even though he's definitely out of place in your perfect little life

Angst? Idk kinda ,more like one sided pining

Words- 1.4k

Warnings- Sex is kinda eluded to but nothing graphic, just Dabi being a brat

A/N- Oh ho ho I finally posted some original work and OOP MY SECOND FIC. Anyway I’d love feedback. And I hope I got his personality right <3

You sighed, throwing your laptop off your lap and on to the other side of the couch. Looking around your neat apartment you were pleased at how productive you had been today. The group presentation that was due the next day was turned in. The assignment due next week could totally be put off until tomorrow. Your laundry was tumbling in the dryer, and you had meals prepped, so no more worrying about cooking for the next few days

Rubbing your eyes you decided could go on your phone or read a little bit before going to bed, so you hopped up to put on your pjs. But before you could reach your bedroom, you stopped at the open window in your living room. You covered your eyes and groaned.

You shook your head trying to undo your thoughts. Tonight had been going SO well. Of course he had to worm his way into it. For some reason, nights like the ones outside your window would always remind you of him. Nights where the moon was full and the sky wasn´t black but indigo. And you could see every cloud illuminated.

You needed to stop thinking about him. You knew men like him liked to chew up and spit out girls like you. He knew what he wanted, and there was a reason he was so good at it. But you couldn't help it, he could deliver you to heaven and cradle you as you fell back down. Dabi was addicting.

You made your way to your bedroom, trying to stop yourself from thinking of him. But as soon as you had put on your pajamas, you heard a knock on your door. Speak of the devil and he shall appear, and the most devilish motherfucker you knew was standing on your doorstep. You sighed and pulled on a cardigan, trying to come up with a good reason to send him away.

Opening your door, you lean against the doorway to block him from entering.

“What Dabi?”

You watched his eyes as he racked them up and down your figure, and suddenly every bit of confidence you had melted away. His gaze just held that type of power over you.

“Aw, no hello kiss?” He asks, cocking his head to the side.

You blush, and can´t meet his eyes. Pouting you say “No, I only give kisses to good boys.”

He scoffs. Yeah that was to be expected.

“Listen Dabi, I really can't help you with whatever you need this time...” You still cant meet his gaze, and you just hope, by some miracle he´d maybe turn around and leave.

He signs “Doll,” His sudden change of tone makes you look up in concern, and he meets your eyes.

His eyes always shocked you, the cerulean made you question how eyes that beautiful really existed. You shifted your gaze to his scars and staples, and you felt a pang in your heart.

No! You couldn't get soft now, not when you almost had a strong start.

“I'll spare you the details, but things haven't been going well for me recently, and I know you don't like when I steal...” Now he's the one who can´t meet your eyes.

Steal? What was he… Oh, he was hungry.

Well, now you felt like a dick. Looking in his eyes you tried to come up with a reason to say no. Really you did, but you couldn't deny him. So you move out of the door to let him in

He bussels into your home, suddenly a new man, “So what's for dinner?”

You purse your lips staring at his back. Fucker, he knew you couldn't say no when it came to stuff like that.

You made your way to your kitchen, rolling your eyes as you say, “Whatever I decide to make for you.”

“Aw is someone pouting? Just admit you can´t resist me.” He says the last part in a sing-song voice and you want to kick him out right then and there, he could go hungry for all you care. But when he looks away, his smirk drops and suddenly your ache to cradle his face and kiss every inch of it. He looked so tired.

Deciding against punching his already imperfect face, you start working on his meal. It feels like it takes forever as you cut food and stand in front of the stove, you can feel his eyes on your back the whole time. You try to ignore them and act natural, but it wasn´t until the very end when you were standing in front of the stove stirring the food when you suddenly felt a presence behind your back.

“So,” Dabi says as he wraps his arms around your waist and presses himself against you, “how will I ever repay you?”

“Don't go acting like a gentleman now Dabi,” you slap away the hand that was getting a little too close to your chest, “I know when I´m being exploited.”

“Good them we’re on the same page.” He chuckles and smacks your ass, making you squeak.

He moves to lean against the counter a few feet away, and you will yourself to not look up into his eyes until the food is ready.

When you finally hand him the plate, you sit side by side at the island. After a few moments he asks “What are you thinking about?”

You immediately look away from him. You had been thinking about something, but you couldn't bring yourself to tell him. You were even having trouble telling yourself.

In reality you were scolding yourself, telling yourself to stop thinking about what this thing right in front of you meant. Because it could never mean what you really wanted. Because what you really wanted was to turn to him and scream that you loved him. You wanted to shake him and yell hysterically and maybe just hurt him a little. To say ‘Can't you see that when you're here you're my everything. Can't you see me falling right in front of you, won't you catch me?’ But you didn't think you would ever be able to tell him.

You were also terrified to fall in love with him. Because even though you might love him, loving and being in love were separate things. And you knew that if you fell in love with him and he adored you like you wanted to be adored, he would have to ask you to do things you didn't know you could do. Things that any self respecting girl with a future ahead of her would run from as fast as she could. And you couldn't blame her. You could never abandon the future you were so delicately building for yourself.

So you would pretend that you couldn´t understand your feelings, that you didn't know how you felt about Dabi, that everything was a bundle of hatred, guilt and lust. But you knew yourself, and knew it was pretend. But how could you tell him? How do you tell someone like him you loved him?

So instead of telling the man you loved the truth, all you said was, “How obnoxious you are.” As you stole something off his plate.

“Me? The obnoxious one? Well that's certainly out of charter for a good girl such as yourself...” He began as you giggled, bumping his shoulder.

And so the night would go. It would go like every night before, and every night to follow. Unless one day you had the nerve to ruin it all. You would talk with him while he ate, making each other laugh, and roll your eyes. You would end up a blushing mess every now and then. Eventually you would fall into bed, where he would make you feel SO good, good enough to forget, to let the butterflies in your stomach consume you, to enjoy their frantic wings and how brave they made you feel. You would go back and forth from bed, to the kitchen, to bed. Until finally he would keep you warm as you fell asleep. He would warm your bed for long enough. And you would wake all by yourself, only to remember him in flashes that would make you blush. You would remember him until you could will yourself to stop, until you organized your life again, into its neat clean rows. But sometimes you´d slip up, remembering, leaving you alone with only a feeling. He would leave nothing but a storm of cureulian butterflies.

Headdress, Kiwai

Kiwai, Western Province, Papua New Guinea, 1800-1900

Feathers, wood, natural fiber, pigments

Width : 46 cm

Provenance : Loed van Bussel, Amsterdam

Acher Eskenasy, Paris

This rare frontlet originates from the kiwai-speaking peoples living on the coastal region of the Fly River Delta and on northern Torrest Strait.

Gunnar Landtman’s research, undertaken between 1910 and 1912, is the foundation stone for understanding the culture of the Kiwai. He made a comprehensive collection of Kiwai material culture now housed in the Museum of Cultures in Helsinki and a second, duplicate set for the Cambridge Museum. In Nya Guinea färden [New Guinea expedition], his detailed travelogue of his work and life among the Kiwai, he gives a description of the different types of headdress worn by the indigenous peoples. In his study of Gunnar Landtman’s collections held by the National Museum of Finland, David Lawrence reports that “The finest headdress worn by the Torres Strait Islanders and coastal Kiwai-speaking peoples was the dori (kiwai).

Its importance as a cultural item is still such that it is a most visible symbol of Islander culture, particularly for the eastern Islanders and the dari (eastern islands) is the most prominent symbol on the officially recognised Torrest Strait Islander flag.

The headdress consists of a woven rattan frame in either an “n” or “m” shape. (...) The feathers of the white reef heron (Demigretta sacra) or the Torresian pigeon (Ducula bicolor) were inserted into the frame to form a fan shape. (...)

The dori were often quite large and elaborate. When worn in night dances with the dance ground illuminated with small fires or torches, the actions imitating the movements of the reef heron could be pmost spectacular and effective. Like the dari used in “Island dance” the headdresses serve to frame the face and special dance effects are achieved by turning the head suddenly so that the image of the reef heron appears and disappears.

(...) Other items of ornamentation and dress included a large variety of stiff frontlets (makeso) made from rattan or fibre plaited on to a bamboo frame that were worn across the forehead and tied at the back of the head. Frontlets were made in a variety of designs : tringular semiovoid or even a lozenge shape. Landtman wrote that these frontlets could be used both with and without cassowary feather decorations.”

David R. LAWRENCE, Gunnar Landtman in Papua 1910-1912, The Australian National University, 2010, p. 156-157

World building info post

World building for Keleeqen:

-Rainy and dry seasons, depending on what section you live in the rainy season includes snow and hail storms versus hurricane type storms. The dry season brings long droughts and soaring temperatures.

-Keleeqeans collect water during the rainy seasons incase of long droughts. Labissi in particular, since they are surrounded by desert and centered around an oasis.

-There’s approximately ten weeks per moon cycle, five from “bright” (full) to “dark” (new).

-A solar cycle (year) consists of ten moon cycles

-The separate sections of the country have regional accents and languages but most people speak Common as ordained by the Royal Family while they still ruled

-the Royal Family no longer rules RIP

-The center region of Keleeqen is sparsely populated due to lack of resources, most of the major cities centered around the north streams or lower areas around the Spine mountains. Labissi is the only large city in the desert, but there are other tribes that live around smaller oases. The desert is probably more populated than thought but mostly unexplored as it’s hard to survive in the terrain.

-I need to touch up the conversations had between those who live in Labbisi and our mc’s Common because they wouldn’t have much exposure to each other

-Aurora has taught Meili Kebossi (the language of her home island) however they primarily speak Common to each other

-Konakaz also speaks Kebossi but hasn’t told her yet because he wants to drop that information on her at a really inopportune moment such as when she insults him in her language to Meili

-Why did this list turn into character development?

-I do have an official map for Keleeqen

-The northern forests are very much influenced by Ireland’s northern old fairytale looking forests

-Southern forests are sparser with more open spaces and slimmer trees

-Like the desert the Spine is primarily populated by small tribes living off the land rather than large cities

-What else

-The government used to be with the Royal Family but since they are presumed dead it’s become each city for itself lead by either the town Elder or Religious leaders

-I haven’t fleshed out the religious aspect very much yet but I like the idea of Old Gods versus New

-Due to the long lived rule of the Royal Family currency is regulated, basic currency is call bussels (a dollar), camis (ten dollars), and heffos (a hundred dollars), but since Meili and Aurora mostly live off the land or steal money they mostly have blussels

Obesity Declined Among Toddlers On Food Assistance After Obama-Era Reforms - But Now Enrollment Is Falling. Obesity rates among young children enrolled in a federal food assistance program have fallen in 41 American states and territories, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a report released this week, researchers found the obesity rate among more than 12.4 million 2- to 4-year-olds enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) dropped from 15.9 percent in 2010 to 13.9 percent in 2016. Obesity fell by more than 3 percentage points in seven states and territories (New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah, Virginia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico) and rose modestly in only three (Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia). The drop in obesity, according to the CDC, was significant across all racial and ethnic groups studied. This follows on national data released this summer that showed continued obesity declines overall and across all racial and ethnic subgroups. The cause for this good news? Starting in 2009, WIC state agencies were required to provide food packages that hewed more closely to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans as well as infant feeding practice guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics. This led to increased availability of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lower-fat milk for WIC enrollees. WIC is a federally funded program for low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children under age 5, providing healthy foods and nutrition education and promoting breast-feeding and supporting nursing mothers. It served approximately 6.3 million people in 2018, including nearly half of all infants born in the U.S. “Improvements in national, state, and caregiver guidance around nutrition and physical activity may be contributing to this decline in childhood obesity,” CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a statement. “We are moving in the right direction.” Coinciding with this new CDC study, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on Thursday released a special report called Obesity Rates Decline Among Young WIC Participants which includes policy recommendations regarding WIC as well as stories about how some are using WIC to help children grow up at a healthy weight. The CDC data shows that real progress is possible, said Jamie Bussel, a senior program officer at RWJF. “It reinforces the importance of early intervention and getting kids to a healthy weight by kindergarten,” she said in a phone interview. “Changes made to WIC are having a real impact.” The government’s other food assistance program, SNAP, has been embroiled in partisan issues in the Trump administration, which has proposed eliminating benefits for more than 3 million people and reducing access to free school meals, which would affect another estimated 600,000 students. ★Source: *https://ift.tt/2ldLEQZ ******************************************************************* In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Arise Sir Ringo: Beatles drummer knighted in UK honors list

LONDON (Reuters) – Ex-Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has been knighted in Queen Elizabeth’s New Year’s honors list, along with Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb and author Michael Morpurgo, while ballet dancer Darcey Bussell becomes a dame.

Ringo, 77, real name Richard Starkey, joined the Beatles as a replacement drummer for Pete Best in 1962 and occasionally sang lead vocals, notably in “Yellow Submarine” and “With a Little Help from my Friends.”

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Beatle in 1988 and again in 2015 for his solo career after the group split up.

Gibb, 71, is the British musician who co-founded the Bee Gees with his brothers Robin and Maurice and went on to record a string of pop classics including “Stayin’ Alive” and “Night Fever” from the film “Saturday Night Fever.”

English author Morpurgo, 74, is best known for children’s novels like “War Horse” and was Children’s Laureate from 2003 to 2005.

Bussell, 48, is a former principal dancer with the Royal Ballet and currently one of the four judges in the long-running BBC TV ballroom contest “Strictly Come Dancing.”

The New Year’s honors have been awarded since Queen Victoria’s reign in the 19th century and aim to recognize not just well-known figures but those who have contributed to national life through often selfless and unsung contributions over many years.

Britain’s Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge listens to children’s author Michael Morpurgo read one of his stories during a visit to a “Farms for Children” farm in Gloucestershire, May 3, 2017. REUTERS/Richard Pohle/Pool

In that category, Margaret Jamieson, of the Blue Door charity shop on the Scottish island of Orkney is recognized, along with Geoffrey Evans, a local councillor in Falmouth, Cornwall for over 40 years.

Actor Hugh Laurie receives the CBE medal, as does author Jilly Cooper and the former editor of British Vogue magazine Alexandra Shulman.

England women’s cricket captain Heather Knight is made an OBE while hip hop artist Richard Cowie, aka Wiley, is made an MBE, along with Paralympian athlete Stefanie Reid.

The biannual honors list is released on the Queen’s official birthday in June and at the end of each year. The list is published by the Cabinet Office and can be seen at http://ift.tt/2EhpvpR
