Inspired by this post

----

Lan Wangji didn't know where the rumor came from or how A-Yuan had heard about it but he supposed it wouldn't harm anything to give in (It had nothing to do with his son's pleading gaze, honestly it didn't it did).

The house from the rumor, if Lan Wangji is thinking of the right one, was just a few blocks away from the usual path they took home after trick or treating. It wouldn't be that out of the way.

"Alright. We can stop by that house on the way back."

A-Yuan screeched in excitement, "Yay! Jingyi is gonna be so jealous!" He hopped up and down, the bunny ears on his head flapping.

Lan Wangji really hoped this guy was as nice as the rumors made him seem. He'd hate to see his son disappointed.

---

The man was definitely as nice as the rumors said, he was also absolutely stunning.

Lan Wangji didn't speak much on a normal day but as soon as the man, Wei Ying, he'd introduced himself as, opened the door, all words fled Lan Wangji's brain except four–

'Oh no, he's hot.'

It got even worse (better) when A-Yuan eagerly wished the man a happy birthday and gave him a bunny drawing he made, gaining a bright, beautiful smile.

(A-Yuan informed him it would be rude to wish the man a happy birthday yet not get him anything. Lan Wangji wasn't gonna spend money on a stranger. They compromised on a drawing.)

"Aw, thank you! I will put this on my fridge! Front and center!" Wei Ying beamed, gently setting the drawing down on a small table by the door, "As a thank you, why don't you take a toy as well as some candy? If your dad doesn't mind, that is." Wei Ying glanced at him with a questioning look.

A-Yuan turned wide eyes up at him, expression pleading, "Please, please, please?"

How could he possibly say no when both A-Yuan and Wei Ying were looking at him like that?

"Mn."

A-Yuan jumped up and down with excitement, turning to Wei Ying with a happy grin.

"Okay, little bunny! Pick whichever you like." Wei Ying said as he grabbed a small bucket hiding by the door, it had a bunch of colorful little toys in it. Varying from, what Lan Wangji can identify, bubble blowers, tiny skateboards, small stuffed animals, bouncy balls, and a lot more. It definitely wasn't a small amount. He wondered how much Wei Ying spends on Halloween every year, considering he also had a big variety of candy on offer as well.

A-Yuan took a long moment, seriously debating which toy he wanted, eyes flickering back and forth between items before they apparently landed on the one he wanted.

A small stuffed butterfly.

"A great choice!" Wei Ying praised, his beautiful smile once more appearing. Lan Wangji would be lucky to leave this house with his heart intact. He wasn't sure if he even wanted to.

A-Yuan grinned right back, face flushed with happiness.

Wei Ying noticed his continued staring and looked at him with a, was that flirty?, wink.

"Now, Lan-gege was it? Thank you for bringing this cute little rabbit to my door. It was a wonderful birthday present!" Wei Ying ruffled A-Yuan's hair, right in front of the hood with bunny ears he wore, "Don't tell the others kids but—" he leaned down to stage whisper, "You're costume is my favorite of the night."

A-Yuan lights up like a lightbulb, clutching onto his new butterfly shyly. Lan Wangji felt a spark of pride at the words, they spent a long time debating which costume to get. The adorable bunny costume won by a wide margin.

"Really?"

"Definitely! It reminds me of my own little bunnies." He admits brightly.

"You have bunnies!?" A-Yuan all but screeched, immediately shooting his father a sheepishly look of apology afterwards.

"I do." Wei Ying shifted the bowl in his hands, letting it rest against one hip, "Two of them. They came as a pair, I couldn't separate them even if I wanted to." He laughed, a tingle of something Lan Wangji would rather not identify, but it felt warm and sharp, shot through him at the sound.

"Woah. Can I see them?"

Wei Ying glanced at Lan Wangji, then behind him, Lan Wangji didn't have to look to know there were more kids coming up the drive. He could hear their shouting and laughter getting closer, parents calling after them to be careful, they unfortunately needed to get going.

"Maybe another time, if Wei Ying is okay with that." Lan Wangji offered before he knew it.

Wei Ying was more than okay with that. As soon as the words left Lan Wangji's mouth, Wei Ying was already nodding, "Yes! I would love that! Uhm–" he looked once more at the approaching children, "Why don't you come over tomorrow afternoon? I work from home, so it won't be a problem." He said with a soft laugh, "And you already know where I live!"

Lan Wangji was supposed to have a meeting in the afternoon. He barely had to think before he replied.

"Of course. We will be here around 12."

A-Yuan nodded as well, happily taking his dad's hand as he made way for the other kids.

"And Wei Ying?" Lan Wangji said as Wei Ying started to turn towards the children crowding his doorway, "Happy birthday." he added, earning himself a truly breathtaking smile before gently tugging A-Yuan back down the driveway.

Maybe some rumors are worth listening to after all, he thought as he made a mental note to reschedule his meeting tomorrow, this one definitely was.

woozi boyfriend headcanons <3

a/n: posting jihoon's boyfriend headcanons next as requested!! i am SO endeared by him <333 i'd trust him with my life tbh and i just know i'd feel safe if i had him around like he's a top-tier protector while also being a silly billy :,-) pics not mine !

content: fluff | wc: 1.3k | warnings: none! | pairing: boyfriend!jihoon x gn!reader | requests: open

after writing this, i want nothing more than to see jihoon smile and give me an endearing head pat :,-( please enjoy <333

our music boy!!! hard-working king!!!! talented icon!!!!

he's so cool in every way except for when it comes to you

he just melts at the sight of you

like he's cool on the outside but anyone who knows him knows that he's losing it over how much he loves you

tbh even people who don't know him all that well can see very recognizable heart eyes

he just looks at you with so much adoration and fondness and it SHOWS <333

sometimes when you're speaking to him, especially about things you're passionate about, there will be pauses before he responds

it's not because he isn't listening. it's the complete opposite !!

he's so immersed in your thoughts, your voice, your movements, your words, that he has to find his way back to earth before he can speak

and honestly, if it weren't for the fact that it proves to you he is listening and encourages you to continue speaking, he'd stay completely silent during times like these

he's in awe of you and he wants to stay that way forever

jihoon gets flustered by you constantly

the butterflies he felt when he first saw you never go away

they actually get stronger over time because the more he realizes he loves you the more those butterflies of elation swarm inside him

this is one of the many inspirations he finds in you for music

he actually writes lots of songs about you but he is so nervous to tell you about it each time so he doesn't tell you beforehand he just plays the song for you when he thinks it's ready

while he doesn't directly say it's about you, you know it is about you because he slipped a phrase you two always say to each other in there or he references a favorite song/idea/sound/item of yours in the verse

in response, you give him a lil squeeze on his hand or a kiss on the cheek or a smile that shows him with certainty you love and cherish how he incorporated you into his work again

it all goes unsaid, be he can feel through these exchanges that you feel the depth of his love

his heart is FULL!!!!

he is blushing, but he fights with all his might to act like he isn't blushing

jihoon actually blushes any time you compliment him because he is so soft for you :,-)

he will also completely short circuit if he hears you singing or humming a song he made

it catches him off-guard and he's standing there like :-0

he's so precious <33333

jihoon's also the silliest boy with you

he laughs SO hard whenever you make a joke

like i'm talking open mouth, loud, PUAHAHAH energy

he cannot contain it he thinks you're so funny and delightful

loves teasing you so much. he knows it'll get a laugh out of you, which is one of his favorite sounds in the universe, and he just loves being playful with you even if it means roasting you

jihoon will also do slapstick, dad jokes, or other ridiculous humor antics to make you laugh

he's actually so funny like !!! you're never going to feel bored again you've got a true entertainer with you 25/8

the entertainment carries over to when he tells stories about you

they're so animated and his descriptions of you are so vivid that seventeen actually feel as though they know you before they meet you

a few members comment "wow, he got your voice exactly how it sounds!" and "he wasn't kidding. you do get that look in your eyes when you tell a joke!" and so on

i'm putting my money on soonyoung, seungkwan, and chan to expose him like this

you're shocked because ??? how often did he talk about you ???

when you turn to look at jihoon he's a blushing mess and waving his hand in the air and chuckling to act as though it isn't a big deal

when you turn away he is giving Death Glares to everyone else but they're just laughing because they've never seen him more enamored before and it's the perfect fuel for teasing him <3

his hugs engulf you

even the slightest of hugs leave you feeling completely wrapped up in his embrace. he holds you with so much care and attention that even a light brush of his hand on your shoulder makes you feel so wonderfully warm

when he's sleepy he is definitely nuzzling his head into your shoulder/neck/etc like he wants the world to disappear and you are his escape !!! his comfort !!! i'm sobbing now

he's often softly tapping your shoulder to get your attention without disrupting whatever you're watching/reading/etc because he wants your attention but would never take it without you being willing to give it

stop why is he so cute and gentle :-(

whenever you two are sitting, lying, or standing near each other, he'll mindlessly drum his fingers against you like he's playing the piano

woozi will always sing you to sleep if you ask

like yes he'll resist at first because he's a lil shy but he's not going to say "no" when he knows how much it'll comfort you

he thinks there are few things better than the sound of your contented sighs as you drift into sleep and the look on your face when you finally fall into a deep slumber

while he sings to you, he will play with your hair, give you sweet little pets, and soothingly rub your arms/back <3

he will never let you down

whether it's picking up every item on your grocery list

or being by your side during a hard time

he. is. there.

nothing would break his heart more than you feeling alone or unsupported

you always make him feel grounded, and he constantly works to reciprocate that for you

he is genuinely such a solid partner. he's your rock in the truest sense of the word, and the trust between you two is otherworldly

while there are always butterflies and new experiences shared between you, there has, from day one, been a sense of sureness there too

your relationship feels so real and so right

woozi's love is strong. through the ups and downs, his love for you never wavers, and he never lets you doubt his sincerity towards you

tbh i think he really desires security with you

one of the first times he's very vulnerable with you, probably late at night while in the studio because there's a specific intimacy you find together in that space, he admits to you that he really wants someone you to feel sure of him

you were sure of him before then, but, in that moment when he completely opened up, you knew, more than anything, you were sure of him

and all it took was the grasp of your hand, the look in your eyes, and the words i'm sure of you, jihoon for him to know that you felt everything toward him that he felt about you

from then on, so much of your relationship goes unsaid

because you two feel it and know it so deeply that it doesn't need to be expressed

however, jihoon never misses an opportunity to express his love and appreciation for you

he's very much the type to be lovey dovey when he's feeling soft

like this boy could give you a toothache with his sweetness

and he's smiling that angelic smile the whole time i'm biting my fist pLEASE

if you ask him to do aegyo, he'll do it in a heartbeat

you show this off in front of seventeen and they're DYING and they expect woozi to say something but he's not fazed like obviously he's doing aegyo ?? what else is he supposed to do when the love of his life asks him to act cute ??

the answer is do aegyo, obviously.

jihoon is simply the most romantic and sincere partner you could ask for. he's dedicated to you, heart and soul, and he proves that every day by being there for you

sorry i have to go and read some poetry because loving and being loved by jihoon would simply be the most beautiful thing in the world

i hope everyone gets the jihoon they deserve <3

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT GIRL DAD GOJO PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Eri…if I could go back in time and tell last month me you would be sending me this ask I would’ve thought I was sent into another dimension but I AM SO GLAD WE ARE HERE OMFG!!!!!!!

Girl Dad Gojo… goodness the two of them would be thick as thieves until she is older and utterly unimpressed by her father, the greatest sorcerer of all time, because to baby girl he is simply papa or aka the loser who cried when she learned how to ride a bike

The first time she get sick he is a total wreck. He just wants to keep her safe but her fever has her in tears and all he can do is hold his whimpering sick baby. He’s reminded of how human and small he actually is because of this tiny babe wrecking his heart. He stays up the entire night to make sure she sleeps good (he of course gets sick the next week and he’s even worse at being a baby about it than she is)

Anytime she tries to crawl he is lying on the floor right there besides her yelling outloud play by commentary of her movements like she’s a sports athlete and he’s the excited announcer cheering her on

The first time she takes her first steps, he’s away on a mission. Of course he’s so proud but he’s angry and hurt he missed one of the biggest moments of his baby’s life… but the minute he warps home and the second he sees her waddling to him with the biggest gummy smile all that anger and frustration just melts away, especially when you gasp seeing her walk more than four steps without falling, and of course it is to him. He doesn’t shut up about it for MONTHS!

When she’s a little bigger and has playtime Satoru is right there with her and taking every one of her ideas very seriously! If she tells him he is a pink feathery dragon that shoots out glitter then you bet your cute ass he’s going to be the best pink feathery glitter shooting dragon ever!

He loves tea time with her and has a secret stash of cookies for them that you don’t know about cause it’s just for them!

When she learns how to make friendship bracelets the first one she makes is for him and Gojo cries when she hands him the mismatched colored beaded bracelet. He wears it EVERYWHERE! He about beats the ever living shit out of a curse user for making fun of the colorful bracelet when they see it

They for sure tag team against you because as much as she is half yours, she is still a Gojo and learns from the Gojo considered to be the best

However, when you have to leave for a trip and leave the two of them alone they are having the biggest ball for the first hour. Until they both crack and are FaceTiming you crying about how much they miss you

He dramatically sings all her favorite nursery rhyme songs to make her giggle, he also does funny voices for all her stuffed animals

He doesn’t let her win at ANYTHING video game wise because as he tells you “it’s keeping her humble”

When she tugs at his pant legs he doesn’t hesitate to kneel down to her level to speak to her eye to eye or let her whisper into his ear because they are both AWFUL gossips and noisy as hell!!! They also argue about the DUMBEST things like which digimon is best and because they’re both stubborn and ridiculous they make you pick sides!

The first time she sees a curse and cries clutching him so terrified is when Gojo swears he understands all over again why he was born to be a sorcerer, born to be the strongest. Yes it’s to protect the world but he was born to protect his world, this little stinker who sticks her tongue out at him when he eats the last bite of cake and happily grins when she gets to cuddle you and he doesn’t

Because yes you are his gravity keeping him stable and so strong, but she is his universe

#OKAY I NEED TO GO BITE MY ARM OFF NOW 🤡#ERI WHAT HAVE YOU DONE #YOU UNLEASHED ME #but also wowowow I love you I’m gonna cry BCS HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS MORON!!!#Eri’s tag 🐝✨#cw kids #Gojo 🩵#asks and such things 💌#long post #just in case

Gale’s Top Ten: Least favorite episodes of Miraculous Ladybug (as of season 5)

With Season 5 finished and my posting of my top 10 favorite episodes, it’s time I crank the meter the other way. Now some rules

1. Like always this is my personal opinion, and if you liked these episodes, that’s great. I would love to hear your reasoning

2. I will be judging them SOLELY of what was shown in the episode, not by any leaks that came out before or after. I’m solely judging on what is seen and confirmed

3. Word of warning, I will be pretty vicious with my critiques. Also profanities will be thrown.

Now before I go into them, I should give some congratulations to some episodes no longer in my bottom 10

Captain Hardrock: You are still a lame episode, but not the worst you are actually decent in comparison to some of these.

Stormy weather 2.0: Clip shows still are awful, but there are worst things

Frozer: In the grand scheme of things this episode really wasn’t important and there are worst character writing

___________________________________________

10.Sole Crusher

Revisiting this, it really isn’t a good episode for ML. I don’t know what was more Shoehorned in, Zoe’s character arc of replacing Chloé or the lucky charm.

It also makes little sense that Marinette would be the one pushing for Zoe considering her experience with Chloé and her family (especially after Season 5 revealed her trauma).

Now Zoe isn’t a bad character, but she will always be seen as the replacement Good bee, and she deserves better writing.

Honestly it could be argued Queen banana should be here, but that episode is too much of a s***post that I get more enjoyment out of it. This is trying to play this straight and it don’t feel right.

9. Qilin

This episode has a some things going for it, great akuma design, decent action. But it also has a ton going against it. It’s in a series of episodes I like to call “Thomas’ gets political” and I will tell you this, he sucks at it.

I would try and explain further but I am aware I would butcher the topic, all that should be said is, racism tackled poorly and Marinette says she will pay for a ticket that her mother didn’t deserve to get in the first place.

Also the animation looks off in the episode, it just looks so bleh.

8. Migration

Remember that whole reveal that Luka knows both Ladybug’s and chat noir’s identities and how he kept that to himself?

Well that FINALLY gets addressed. And are Ladybug and chat noir mad at him? No. No consequences for him.

The whole episode acts like he is such an important character but this is one of 2 episodes he’s in where he has more than 2 lines.

Then he gets to travel the world with his dad because monarch found out he knows.

Kagami got akumatized twice and she knew Ladybug’s identity, step up your game Luka.

Also the fake out with Rose was bulls*** and everyone knows it.

Also the entire episode had everyone but Luka lacking brain cells.

I don’t rank it lower because while it annoyed me greatly, there are worse offenders on the list.

7. Animaestro

Astruc complains for 22 minutes that nobody cares about him anymore.

Also Marinette teams up with her bully which after watching Derision, WOULD BE THE LAST thing she would do.

This is the worst example of the Creator calling out the audience, There are other episodes like this but this one is the least entertaining. And if the ending of season 5 is concerned. “I’ve seen your writing, so I can FUCKING CRITIQUE IT YOU ARROGANT PIECE OF…”

Okay, I’m calm. Point being. It’s his call out the critics episode and it sucks

6. Furious Fu

I HATE Su Han.

He is a worse version of Fu in every stretch of the imagination.

The episode where Su han shows up and starts making demands is stupid. The only thing he has going for him is his fighting style which he never teaches the two people that could have needed it!

The episode isn’t lower because despite Su Han’s impact, he really doesn’t do much and he is just there to be a nag later on. Also Fu’s akuma looks dope as hell and gave Fu some slack.

5. Feast

So remember how Su han showed up in the last episode. Well he and all the other guardians were gone for over 100 years because they lost to a 4 Foot blue dog made by a hungry child.

This episode isn’t as bad as the others as a stand alone, but knowing the lore makes it sound so completely stupid. Like Fu was HAUNTED by his past and we find out it was because he was hungry when training and the guardians COULDNT handle that? All trained to fight miraculous users should they go rogue, couldn’t beat ONE DOG. The mysterious order is incompetent as heck.

It’s just so stupid. Also Fu was acting irrational af over all this didn’t help.

4.Reflekdoll

I want everyone to know how massive this is, Reflekdoll is no longer my least favorite episode.

For anyone that follows me, my SEETHING hatred of this episode is well documented.

I won’t go on about how the tropes were horribly done or ignored, how off the banter was, or even how stupid everyone is this episode. Because I’ve discussed it in length.

I will simply say, Thank God there is Passion, so if people want a GOOD kwami swap episode they can watch that one.

3. Miracle Queen

I’ve talked about this episode to death on here. But really the only flaws with it are the last half of the episode.

The drama of the first half is great. But the ass pull of a memory wipe, the clear degradation of Chloé’s character, and just the simple giving up of Hawkmoth, he could have easily still won if he pushed a bit longer. The ending was depressing but also a clear example of how the writers put themselves in a corner with no way out.

The only thing that makes it worse is Fu’s replacement (Su han) ends up being a worse teacher.

Also considering how they spent season 4 quickly getting Marinette and Adrien out of the relationships with the love rivals, even they realize it was a dumb call.

__________________________________________

2. Ephemeral

Hey, let’s make an episode to explain why Adrien can NEVER know his father is the villain.

This episode is the go to justification of the writers on why Adrien will always be sidelined. It was also the unofficial reveal of the sentimonster theory before it was said pretty much outright in season 5.

The worst akuma design. Marinette gaslighting, gate keeping chat noir at its worst.

Gabriel wins and gets his wish.

And none of it mattered and no one remembers it except I think Sass. So it was pretty much pointless.

Not even the ladrien and cute reveal could save it.

And don’t even get me started on how pointless and avoidable it is.

It’s almost funny because despite how pointless this was, it’s still better than number 1.

1. Re-creation

So many cool concepts, great designs. Marinette dropping a piano on Gabriel. So many great things. But it also had some flaws, like having Adrien sidelined, and the focus on heroes from the specials for practically no reason. But all of that could be forgivable if the ending lands…

It really shows how an AWFUL ending can fuck up everything.

Imagine having 5 seasons of fighting to stop a villain from getting the miraculous to make the wish only for him to WIN! Yes he wins. He gets to make the wish, you know the wish that was said should NEVER be used. Of all the stupid, asinine, Shark Jumping BULL SHIT. Who the fuck APPROVED THIS HORSE SHIT?!

So he gets his wish, and he gets a statue HONORING HIM. What the fuck? Adrien, who was ABUSED now sees his abuser as a hero and EVERYONE THAT KNOWS THE TRUTH IN HIS LIFE IS HIDING THE TRUTH FROM HIM. Nathalie, Marinette, Felix, Kagami. Even PLAGG!

And the whole utopia crap, everything is just perfect now, because the villain got what he wanted.

That’s a great lessons for kids! (Blatant Sarcasm)

But let’s really dig in, the ending left a LOT of things vague. And hilariously ALL OF THE POTENTIAL OUTCOMES ARE SHIT.

1. Emilie was revived and Nathalie got healed.

So Gabriel gets everything he wanted from the wish, justifying everything he did and he gets treated like a hero and another person hiding the truth from Adrien. Marinette knows everything that brought this about and is keeping that from Adrien, but is justified slightly because it could encourage Adrien to try and get his father back with a wish. Also brings up the question of who took Emile’s place.

2. Only Nathalie was healed.

Gabriel ended up with Emilie like he wanted, gets treated like a martyr, Adrien is technically an orphan, Marinette is knowingly lying to him about his father and Adrien continues to get Gaslit.

3. Emilie is revived, Nathalie is healed, and memories were altered

Gabriel’s wish basically shaped EVERYTHING how he wanted, meaning he is still in control of Adrien’s life even in death. Even his own wife. So while this removes Marinette covering for him intentionally, it just means Gabriel was so much worse.

4. Nathalie’s healed and memories altered

Gabriel gets to be with Emile and has shaped Adrien’s life even in death. Everyone basically puppeteer by him as he died. Sure he’s dead but he also retconned for his redemption, which is bullshit.

Now there are people that defend this ending/potential ending.

I’m sorry but, unless they revive Gabriel and he gets exposed, Adrien finds out the truth, and he gets held accountable for his actions. I can’t feasibly imagine this ending being good.

The writing staff aren’t going to do Anything about this, they are just going to move on to Lila as the main villain and say the Agreste plotline is over.

If they Do, do something, I’ll happily take back my words and alter my view of the episode but right now.

It’s one of the WORST season finale’s I’ve seen in my life.

“are you done yet?”

TLOU2! joel x platonic!reader (or pedro joel, whatever makes u happy)

warnings: nothing tbh, just joel being a grumpy old dad.

summary: after a shift of checking for hoards with joel, you guys decide to ride back to jackson a bit early. due to your curiosity, you end up talking to him longer than joel appreciated.

A/N: hi guys.. erm, this is a "found family" fic, so the reader is pretty much a teen. if this gets any recognition and you repost, don't repost as like a relationship type deal, plz and thx :p also, im like 14 so please excuse how awful the writing is, i'm still trying to get used to it lol

you walk close to joel after you did a few rounds outside of Jackson. with your earbuds in your ears, joel climbs onto the horse before lifting you to sit in front of him. clicking the pause button, you remove the buds and stuff them in your pocket. joel grabs the rein and kicks the horses side as it begins to gallop, slowly picking up speed. it was awkward between the two of you.

“soo..” you started off. “did you hear how dina and ellie are thinking of getting married?” it was painfully silent.

“yes.” he said. his voice was rough but quiet. you keep your grip around his waist the same. “i don’t know if she wants me at the wedding.”

the atmosphere was tense. it was obvious he didn’t feel like talking, let alone to a curious kid. you thought to yourself, should i keep talking? “well, maybe you should ask her. you’re like her dad anyways, right?” he nodded his head before keeping it low.

“you think you’ll get married, joel?” he whipped his head around and glared at you. his eyes said “what are you talking about?” it caused you to laugh. “kid, what are you saying?” you caved in and started giggling. “i didn’t mean it in a bad way! just.. ya know, curious. anyone back home that catches your eye?” he shook his head.

“of course not, son. i prefer being alone. i don’t need a partner.” you look at him. he hadn’t told you about his past, but joel was a handsome man. there was no way he didn’t have a wife before all of this. “you didn’t have a wife before? or even a husband?” he hesitated at first, but opened up. “i did. she uh, left me. so i just had to take care of my daughter alone. it wasn’t too hard.”

“by daughter, do you mean-“

“no, i had a daughter before ellie. sarah.” he rubbed in between his eyes. “i’ll tell you later, ‘kay kiddo? just.. stop asking me questions for right now.”

you looked at him, sticking your tongue out behind his back. the sky got darker and the cold continued to increase in temperature. you held onto him tighter to stay warm.

“what’s your favorite thing in the whole world?” you could hear him groan. “pure silence without the voice of an annoying kid.” you chuckled with pride. “come on, old man. just answer the question!” it was quiet before he spoke again. “ i guess..” he thought for a few seconds. “movies. loved ‘em since i was a little boy.”

smiling, you lay your head on his back. it started to get warmed now that you were closer to him. and he didn’t seem to mind the fact you were practically glued to him. “maybe we could watch a movie later? when you have time, of course.”

he silent nodded his head. “i would like that.” you could hear a smile form on his face.

after your trip with him, you leap off the horse and put your bag on. you holding onto the animal for support while you put on some sneakers. coincidentally, joel place his hand on yours as you meet eyes. “hey, before you go kiddo..” he gave you a soft smile. “uh, thanks for the talk. it was short but.. i appreciate it.”

“psh. no need to thank me, dad-“ you catch yourself. no way you just said that. you put your foot back down and stomped away without looking back. hearing joel’s chuckles from behind, you wave goodbye. so embarrassing.. “i’ll see you later, joel.. looking forward to that movie night.”

Disclaimer: I am not Catholic. Everything I know about Catholicism is from friends and internet searches. Let me know if I got anything egregiously wrong!

Every few weeks or so, Neil would decide that the family would be going to church on Sunday.

Billy hates it. It isn’t even just the fact that mass is boring as shit and Billy doesn’t even believe in god. It’s the fact that his dad makes the decision for all of them—him, Susan, and Max—that they would be going.

Susan was raised Catholic, but she doesn’t personally identify that way anymore. She hadn’t in a long time. And Billy knows, from snippets of conversations between Susan and her sister Deirdre that he overheard, that Susan fucking hates the Catholic Church. Even so, Susan had taken Max to church a few times before marrying Neil. Pretty much just for holidays though, and only for the community aspect of it all. To her credit, Susan always made sure that Max knew that the Bible was not to be taken literally and that most of the religion was bullshit.

Neil was raised Catholic. His father had been Catholic. His mother, on the other hand, had been part of the Eastern Orthodox minority in Hungary. Neil’s father had forced her to convert to Catholicism when they got married even though he wasn’t a particularly religious man. He had also all but forced her to speak only English in their home. So. Neil had been raised in the Catholic faith and only learning bits and scraps of Hungarian.

Anyway.

The Hargrove-Mayfield family rolls into St. Vitus one Sunday. The night before, Billy had missed curfew and Neil hadn’t believed him when he said that he had been studying with Nancy and lost track of time. To be fair, that story had been a total, blatant lie. The truth was that Billy had been at Steve’s house getting railed on top of his pool table, but obviously Billy couldn’t tell his dad that.

The logical thing to do when you know your teenage son is lying to your face is to make your family go to church and make your son go to confession. At least according to the Neil Hargrove Guide to Parenthood.

Neil walks Billy to the little alcove where the confessional is to make sure he gets in line.

“We’re sitting three rows from the back,” Neil says. “If you and Max behave yourselves, we can go to Waffle House after.”

The night before, Neil slammed Billy against a wall while he was demanding to know why he had missed his curfew. He probably would have beaten him, but he got distracted enough to snap out of his rage when Susan “accidentally” knocked a glass off of the counter.

Billy knows that sometimes, rarely but still sometimes, his dad feels guilty about getting physical with him. Guilty enough that his dad tries to make up for it with things like buying a pint of Billy’s favorite flavor of ice cream at the supermarket or taking the family out to get breakfast after church.

(Sometimes when his dad hurts him badly enough, he “makes up for it” by doing things like helping Billy pay for his car or taking the family to the animal shelter to adopt a dog)

Before Billy walks into the confessional, he watches Neil walk over to where Susan and Max are sitting. There have been times where his dad would stay in line with him, waiting for his own turn or just making sure that Billy actually went in.

He walks in the booth. It’s one of those that’s divided by a screen. When Billy had his first Communion, the confessions were done face-to-face. It had been awful having to tell a grown-up man—that he had to call “Father”—how he had pushed Lance Shepherd off the jungle gym at recess because he had put a wad of gum in his friend Amy’s hair.

Billy kneels and makes the sign of the cross.

“Bless me, Father, for I have sinned,” Billy says rolling his eyes. “It’s been, like, three months since my last confession. I think.”

“Unburden yourself.”

Billy blinks—he’s never heard a priest say “unburden yourself.” He’s only ever heard the standard “tell me your sins.” Billy recognizes the voice from the other side of the screen as Father Peter. There are two priests who preside over St. Vitus: Father Thomas, who’s old as fuck and rarely cracks a smile, and Father Peter, who is in his 40s and always greets people by their names.

“I let my friend cheat off my quiz in History class,” Billy begins. in his defense, it was a pop quiz and Jonathan’s grade in that class needed all the help it could get.

“I picked a fight with my sister,” he continues. That little spat with Max had been so fucking stupid; it was over whose turn it was to clean the bathroom. The fight had only lasted about seven minutes and they had both gotten over it quickly.

“I talked back to my parents...um...a fair amount,” he says. He stops speaking for a moment, wondering if he should just end his confession there to save everyone a whole bunch of time.

“Anything else?” Father Peter asks.

This was stupid. Church was stupid. Confession was fucking stupid. Catholicism was a nasty, fucking system invented to make people feel bad about shit like having sex and being gay.

“Yeah actually,” Billy snarks. “I missed curfew last night and lied to my dad about where I was. I told him I was studying with my friend, but I was really having sex with my boyfriend. Pre-marital, gay sex. ‘Cause I’m gay.”

Billy has no idea what Father Peter’s response to that is going to be. In a million years, he never would have predicted that Father Peter would say:

“Do you think that’s a sin?”

“I mean, isn’t it?” he asks, thrown off. “Like from a Catholic perspective?”

“Some people interpret Scripture that way,” Father Peter says. “But when you read the Bible, it’s important to consider the historical context. And important to remember that it’s been translated and revised many times over the centuries.”

“Do you think it’s a sin?” Billy asks. Even though he really couldn’t give a rat’s ass about what a priest thinks.

“No, I do not,” Father Peter says. “As long as it’s done with love and respect and not with malice, I don’t believe that any expression of sexuality is a sin.”

“Oh,” Billy says. “Um, cool.”

“God does not hate gay people, Billy,” Father Peter says softly.

Billy digs his fingernails into his palm. He didn’t think that Father Peter would recognize his voice.

“For your penance—”

“Wait, you just said it wasn’t a sin.”

“The sex is not a sin,” Father Peter clarifies. “But helping your friend cheat on their test is. And so is disrespecting your family.”

“I guess.”

Billy swears he hears Father Peter chuckle at that.

“For your penance, say three Hail Marys,” Father Peter continues. “Help your parents out around the house. Do an activity with your sister that she chooses. And help your friend study so that they’re prepared for the next test.”

“Okay,” Billy nods.

He listens as Father Peter intones a prayer of absolution and leaves the confessional to join his family in the pews.

Nothing’s really changed. Billy still doesn’t believe in any sort of god. He still thinks religion is bogus. He’s only going to say those Hail Marys because his dad is there and the promised trade-off of Waffle House for good behavior is too good to pass up.

But he does make a mental note to share his class notes with Jonathan and study with him. And also to take Max to the arcade and maybe let her win a game or two.

This morning I was in bed thinking about how awful Quite's whole situation was in conjunction with her death. Cause in a prior chapter we're given enough to infer that she's probably been overlooked by her parents in favor of Adement on the regular, and even tho the sisters love each other, we see Adement talk over her too. But then one day, Dad of the Year goes to her personally and tells her to come with him. Quite was probably concerned but also some part of her was maybe hopeful. Her father wants to spend time with her one on one. Maybe this is it? Only for her to be presented in front of some stranger. Then she likely had to listen to her Father talk about giving her to Edge. She probably found out that Edge wanted her sister instead and that this was just Jasper's ploy to not give away his "favorite". After finding that out she'd likely be just as concerned for Adement as she was for herself, but there's nothing she'd be able to do, suddenly Quiet would be attacked. Maybe it was quick, maybe Edge drew it out to prove some point to his associate. Regardless, the last thing she sees is either Edge or the father who only acknowledged her when it was time to try and secure something he wanted for himself.

Proof that you don't need an 18+ rating to present a truly horrific scenario in your comic for your readers to think about, and also that I need to squirrel some cash away so I can upgrade my Patreon tier to read the Quiet Au.

eee thank you so much, anon. This is such good analysis! What you're saying has two components to it:

You can make something for minors and have it be high stakes and "mature" in its execution. Bambi, for example, is indeed a movie with cutesy animals in it but it doesn't shy away from the brutality of nature and humankind. It just does things in a very subtle, artful way that isn't ramming such subjects down your throat. Which brings me to:

Too many folks out there take harsh subject matters and treat it with either insensitivity and carelessness. Which has a major impact on the characters affected. If you don't treat them with dignity, it's very likely that the audience won't and anything you have riding on their deaths is going to fall apart pretty darn fast. And that includes any "trauma" left behind.

We've discussed this before but I'll repeat what I've always said: a death doesn't have to be shown on-screen or on-panel for it to be effective. If anything, what's left to the imagination can be truly more scary than anything any artist can put out there, as anon here has pointed out. Poor Quiet indeed. - RJ

Get to know me~

Tagged by @itshannjisung

❣ Who is your favorite Kpop group?❣

These dorks! Stray Kids. I also love BTS and Block B. I haven't gotten super into girl groups yet, but I am inching my way with Itzy, Twice, and Mamamoo! If people have song recommendations please let me know!

❣ Which member sparked your interest first?

This artsy motherfucker. I saw a couple tiktok edits of this man and I needed to know why an anime character had come to life. Then I found out about SKZ, read some fanfiction, and by the time I looked up Chan had stolen me and I now am holding a wolfchan. Like you have to understand, I study art and dance and all of this stuff, I am going to school to work in museums, like this is my shtick! HE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN!! AND I'VE MET TOM HIDDLESTON

❣ Who was your first bias?

For stray kids its Chan, I am the mom friend, he is the dad friend and together we make a happy family.

NOW FIRST EVER BIAS?!

THIS DORK! EVERYONE SAY HI TO P.O (Pyo Ji-hoon) I love him with all of my heart, I will always be in debt to him as my first-ever Bias. I know he is an actor now BUT THIS MANS VOICE?!?! GAHHHHH He could give felix a run for his money like thats the vibe he is. Where normally hes this, like a college professor, suit-wearing dorky big grinned man and his voice is that of a rocker who smokes a pack a day

❣ Who is your current bias?

LOOK AT SASSY PANTS THINKING HES SO COOL! I-its chan guys. Im basic bitch I know. BUT LISTEN Ey ey ey, we all need a 5'7 man to tell us he thinks we're pretty. Even though he embodies being 6'1.

❣ What makes them your bias?

It is hard for me to really describe why. Not just because I picked him, or I like him the most, but being a fan of Stray Kids, meeting the people I have, all of the members but especially Chan make me want to be better. I want to be able to go up to them and say "Because of you and your inspiration, I now have achieved X" I want to participate in life and do things again. I want to go to therapy, I want to work out again and fight my eating disorder. I am creating art, and writing songs???? I've never done that before and they aren't awful! Life is brighter because Stray Kids and Chan are in it. I look at the moon every night and think of something Jin (bts) said, that its the same moon and look at it and think of him. Just these little reminders that while the world seems to feel so big and scary and nothing is going right, you are a speck on a floating rock in space. Just like them.

Also Chan says he doesn't love himself, he doesn't think hes attractive. So it makes me feel validated that maybe I'm not as ugly as I think I look??? Because if hes as prince charming as he is maybe im not as bad looking as I think I do?

❣ Who is your bias wrecker?

Uhhh all of them????? There isn't a wreck-ER its you are wrecked by all of them! It was Hyunjin for a while, now I think it's Minho??? It switches on the daily honestly??? I will take anything and anyone of them.

❣ Which member(s) are you currently obsessing over that aren't your bias/bias wrecker?

Felix/Han I love me some soft boys. Also I am 5'9, plus size, and very no-nonsense. The idea of these tiny men getting me to....do things...and uh trying to get me flustered just- yea does good for the soul. I love like reverse expectation fics? Like the big tall scary one is the subby sweet sunshine gf type and the tiny brightly colored talkative one is the super scary dominate teasing one. Its great.

❣ When did you first discover this group?

Last fall, I had just gotten out of a situationship and the band that brought me to it wasn't putting out music and I wanted to find joy again so I tried to find what I was into prior to rock music and that was kpop. Looked up groups that were popular, got back into BTS and then Stray Kids were in my recommended and the rest is history

❣ Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

No! But if they come to Washington you know I will be there. I am going to see Enhypen this month with a friend of mine though! First kpop experience

❣ What are some of your favorite songs by the group?

ITEM

Youtiful

Case 143

Red Lights

Comflex

Tortorus and Hare

Little sister watches ToH saga Ep 18-21

She watched episode 17 without me :( oh well

Ep 18

"Aww little Gus!"

"I don't like his friend." "Neither do I."

"FLAPJACK!!"

"Is he still your favorite palismen?" "Yeah :D" oh boy

"What's Hunter doing here?" "He's homeless right now." *giggles*

"I don't trust this." referring to 'Grey'

"Called it!"

"What is going on??"

Rambles to her about how strong Gus is to cover the entire school

Skip to the blush and I am all :DDDDDD while she's all "Oh?"

"So uh they have an instant kill spell apparently." "Why??" "No idea."

She loved the fight and the "Then how about just the two of us?" moment

Hunter runs in front of said moment "Dude you're ruining their moment."

"So uh... touch the bubble and all your bad memories come out." "I don't like that."

Second blush "Bruh." "THE EARS!!!"

"So now he's gonna tell them what's gonna happen!" "Yes!! Where's Luz though?" "Next episode."

Ep 19

"You recognize that voice right?" "The Collector."

"Aww she sent so many hearts." *cue eyeroll from her*

She's not homophobic, just a elementary schooler.

"So King's dad is.." "The Titan they live on? Yes."

"Nooo the Owl House!"

She really liked the little moments with King

"Steve!!!"

"Raine!!!" "Eda and Raine finally talk to each other."

"Nice save." Referring to Terra showing up

Man I do not remember the Eva/Luz fight hurting this badly.

"Noo they got captured!"

I know she was close to crying a little there with the transport scene where Luz was pleading with Eda. But she didn't.

"Everyone is here!" "Are they safe??" "Yes."

"She gets to carve her palismen??" "Yeah!" "Yay!"

Ep 20

"So... do we think Belos is gonna keep his promise and free the Collector." *looks at me* "No."

"She carved an egg?" "Yeah."

Still not used to Luz and Amity referring to one another as girlfriend but is pretty chill with it.

"Gotta remember that promise."

"HER FRIENDS! :D"

"They head bonked lol." "Boys be like that." "Yep."

"She broke the thingy?" "The Tamagotchi? Yep."

Was not ready for the kiss lemme tell you

Full on :O

"I was distracted by the animation-" "Same."

"Wait but kissing is only if you get married. Are they already doing that???" MY SIDES. No sweetie, no.

"In a bush." "Bush buddies."

"Does King not get a disguise?" "He does get a cloak." "Aww."

Noticed the Luz teleporting thing, but the ensuing fight made her forget it like seconds later.

*end credits* "Is... why is she flying to the Moon? Is Belos on the moon?" HELP-

Ep 21

Was awwing over King sleeping and the palismen huddled together.

"Food :)"

"Is this why you call me Mittens?" :O

"HOOTY IS SAD!!"

Tried to give her a sisterly head bonk during the Eda/Lilith moment but she was like "What are you doing lol?" :( I'm head bonking you! Goofball.

"I hope his pants do catch fire >:(" "Girl he's gonna catch more than that."

We cheered for Luz during her "Spicy Toss" moment. KICK HIS ASS!!

Okay she got spoiled by Youtube Shorts about the moment Belos got sigiled but nothing more, and I did my best to hide it from her so she was still cheering at that part.

Was upset at the crack on King's skull.

"It's like his horn :("

"Creepy monster thingy-" "I do agree-" Also this isn't the creepiest he can get lol

"So remeber how you asked how many clones Belos made?" "Yeah?" "So this" *referring to the GG Graveyard* "Is the full extent of it." ".... I don't like this." Kid neither do I, but, we stay silly :P

She sees the Collector for the first time

"THAT'S WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE??"

"Cool right?" ".... Kinda?"

"He's breaking King dad nooo."

"WAIT THIS IS HOW THEY?" "Yeah this is it." (Again, she got spoiled on them coming to the Human Realm)

"How are they gonna get back?" You'll have to see~~~

*points at Anne* "I know what that means :D"

*watching outro asking her questions, also stalling time so she can see the moment*

"Wait how's the door close-"

*rewind 10 seconds*

"Look at the doorknob."

Snow on the Beach

Outer Banks Masterlist | Full Masterlist

Summary: Falling in love with someone can land both ways, either the other person feels the same way, or everything goes downhill. You and Pope Heyward are a different story. The both of you have been falling for one another for a long time, slowly sinking into the pit of love. It was hard for the others to not tell the two of you that you were in love. It only took one nice walk on the beach for it to all come together.

Notes:

Y/N/N: Your Nick Name

Y/L/N: Your Last Name

Warnings: language

Pope Heyward x-reader

My legs stretched over the backseat of the Twinkie. I waved my hand around as Kiara played music loudly from the car's radio. The four of us waited for John B while he went to convince Sarah to join us down at the beach. Her dad grounded her for some stupid reason, so John B was going to help her sneak out.

"I'm starting to think Sarah isn't coming," JJ commented. He sat across from me with a blunt in one hand. We had been sharing it, but Pope and I never really smoked. Although, Pope would occasionally if he needed confidence or a break from life.

I sat up with my knees bent. My fingers played with the loose thread from my bracelets that hugged my wrists. "What do you think they're even doing?" Kiara peered through the driver's side window. JJ shrugged, looking out as well. "Oh, you know," I pointed the blunt at my mouth.

Pope (GIF Above) and JJ laughed while Kiara rolled her eyes. "I don't think they're doing that," Kiara disagreed. "You never know, Kie. Young love can do stupid things," JJ said.

She reached back and hit the back of his head. He scowled and looked back at her. Pope continued to laugh at my comment, causing me to softly chuckle. Pope and I always seemed to be the closest ones in the group.

When we were kids, we'd do everything together. I mean, taking baths when we were toddlers, everything. Our parents grew up together, so that helped with the bondage. Now that we're older, the feelings have shifted.

I used to see him as just a friend, but now I wonder if that's even the right word to use. We've shared kisses, but nothing passionate, a little kiss on the cheek here and there.

[Flashback: two months ago, third person view]

One night a few moons ago I saw flecks of what could've been lights But it might just have been you Passing by unbeknownst to me Life is emotionally abusive

The Pogues sat on the dock at the chateu. The sun had just set, and everyone was wasting the night away, drinking and listening to music. Y/N leaned against Pope's side. Their legs draped over the dock's edge, just a few inches from the water.

"You ever wonder what's at the bottom?" Pope referred to the water in front of them. The water looked pitch black, given the time of night. "I'd rather not think about that when we're sitting right above it," Y/N answered. Y/N rested her head on Pope's shoulder.

She could feel him tense up, but his reaction melted after a second. Pope set his drink beside him and put an arm around Y/N. He felt complete when she was with him. Pope wouldn't say it aloud, but he was utterly in love with Y/N Y/L/N. He couldn't figure out why.

Maybe it was how her eyes lit up when she saw her favorite animal. Or, maybe, it was how she spoke about the things she's passionate about. It could also be her ability to make his day when she looked at him or spoke to him. Pope Heyward just knew that he was in love with her.

Y/N also wouldn't say anything. She adored the way he'd 'fact-bomb' everyone by being him. Y/N loved how Pope would get energy bursts and want to do everything at once. He would go out of his way to ask her how her day was.

And time can't stop me quite like you did And my flight was awful; thanks for asking I'm unglued, thanks to you

[Present Day, Y/N's Point of View]

Fast forward to now, where I haven't told Pope. Usually, if I ignore these feelings, they would magically go away. But I've been told by my mom that that's not always the case. "Who wants to play a game?" JJ said. "No," Kiara shook her head. "What? Why not?" he sat up in his seat.

He reached over and handed the blunt to Pope. Pope stared at it for a quick second before taking a hit. I took it from him, letting the blunt rest between my fingers. "Because typically, when we play your idea of a game, either one of us gets into an argument," I blew the smoke out the window, "Or we get in trouble."

JJ snatched the rolled blunt from me, claiming I lost weed privileges for the rest of the night. "That is not true," he shook his head. "Oh, that is totally true," Pope said. Before we could start JJ's 'game,' Sarah and John B came into view.

They were running towards the Twinkie, hand in hand. John B waved for one of us to start the car. Kiara crawled into the front seat just as the couple got in. Sarah sat beside me as John B was in the driver's seat. "What took you two so long?" Pope asked. Kie pulled away from the Cameron mansion.

"Rafe knocked on Sarah's door, so I had to hide," John B replied. He breathed heavily, putting on his seatbelt. Sarah laughed with her chest rising up and down too. "Okay, we were just about to play a game. Who's in?" JJ leaned against the door of the Twinkie.

"No," Pope, Kiara, and I said in unison.

_____

(Later, at the beach)

And it's like snow at the beach Weird but fucking beautiful Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful You wanting me tonight feels impossible But it's coming down, no sound, it's all around

Pope and I decided to take a little break while the rest of the group swam as the sun began to set. Sarah continued to check her phone, so much that John B took her phone away, claiming she needed to live a little.

Since Sarah and John B started dating, Sarah has gotten out of the 'bubble wrap' and has been more carefree. Pope's head sat on his arms as we stared at the sky. I closed my eyes to feel the wind and hear my friend's laughter. I felt Pope's eyes land on me as I took everything in.

I looked at him. He reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. Pope's hand remained on my face before setting his arm back down. A tint of pink appeared on my cheeks. I hoped that my sunburn covered the blush. Pope sat up with his hands digging into the sand on either side of us.

Pope and I watched JJ tackle John B into the water. Sarah and Kiara roared with laughter at the two. JJ was always finding an excuse to tackle John B.

Like snow on the beach Like snow on the beach Like snow on the beach

"Please don't kill each other!" I exclaimed, setting two hands around my mouth. JJ reached up and shot me the finger. John B managed to rise up from the water before pushing JJ. Another splash occurred, and we were all laughing now. "How long do you think Sarah will last before she wants to go home?" Pope spoke.

He leaned into me as he spoke. I could feel his body beside me, making me shiver from the sensation. "I think she'll last a while. The cops haven't shown up yet, so, I think we're okay," I responded, "Did you want to go back in?" Pope shrugged and lifted his hands from the sand.

He brushed the sand away. He set his hands on the bright green towel. I looked at him and then at the sun still sitting in the purple and blue sky. "I can't promise you that JJ won't try to tackle you," I said. Pope laughed and sighed. He finally agreed. I stood up from my towel with his hand now with mine.

The two of us ran to the water. Goosebumps arose when the crisp waves hit my ankles. Sarah put an arm around me, separating me from Pope's grasp. We could still hear the music blasting from Kiara's speaker. "This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen. I searched aurora borealis green," Kie sang as Snow on the Beach by Taylor Swift played.

Pope turned to me with extended hands, gesturing for me to dance with him. I can't lie that Pope definitely enjoyed Taylor Swift's music. His favorite album was Lovers, no idea why, but it was his go-to. I didn't hesitate to set my hands on his. He twirled me around with the water splashing around.

I've never seen someone live from within Blurring out my periphery My smile is like I won a contest And to hide that would be so dishonest And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it 'Til you do, 'til it's true

I chuckled as JJ splashed Kiara before picking her up and threatening to throw her in. She cursed at him to put her down, but that didn't phase him. Pope began to burst into song. He didn't stop until I set my hand on his mouth. Pope's brows furrowed at my action.

"I'm sorry, but you're a terrible singer," I shook my head. "I am not," he said. "Hate to break it to you, buddy, but you really are," John B spoke.

I pointed to John B in agreement. He gave me a fist bump. A little bit later and we were all getting a little tired. "Hey, you want to walk on the beach for a bit?" Pope asked. I nodded and followed him down the shoreline. I watched as the waves swallowed the shells and seaweed that appeared on the sand.

Now it's like snow at the beach Weird but fucking beautiful Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful You wanting me tonight feels impossible But it's coming down, no sound, it's all around Like snow on the beach Like snow on the beach

"We never figured out what JJ's game was," Pope kicked up sand as we walked. I shook my head, thinking back to the ride here. "Part of me doesn't even want to know," I softly chuckled. Our hands brushed against one another. We stopped walking just where the sun aligned with some houses behind us.

I plopped down on the side, ignoring the sand as it found its way back to my legs. Pope joined my side with his arms resting on his bare knees. "You want to play a game?" he leaned to the side, tapping his shoulder with mine. I turned to him with my brows raised.

"Not JJ's game."

"Good," I sighed. "Let's play. two truths and a lie. I'll go first," Pope sat up straight, "I am terrible at painting, my dad has my name tattooed on his leg, and I was in that Pampers commercial when I was little."

I tapped my chin in thought. A moment passed, and I finally answered. "The painting one is a truth, and your dad does not have a tattoo," I said, "But you were in that Pampers commercial." He applauded me and rolled his eyes.

"You were so cute in that commercial. I remember going to set with your family, your mom was so excited," I said. Pope rolled his eyes and motioned for me to go. "I go to Pilates with my grandmother every weekend, I won a pie-eating contest when I was in elementary school, and I used to eat Plato when I was younger," I said.

"The pilates one is a lie. You won that pie-eating contest in fourth grade because your brother thought it might be funny, and you were sick for a week because you kept eating that stupid red Plato."

I pointed at him in agreement. The sun had completely set, with the moon now replacing it. I looked up and noticed the stars had begun to scatter. "How did you not get sick from eating all those pies?" Pope questioned. "No idea," I said. It was nice to reminisce, something the two of us have always done.

I can't speak, afraid to jinx it I don't even dare to wish it But your eyes are flying saucers from another planet Now I'm All For You like Janet Can this be a real thing? Can it?

It grew silent between us. Pope's eyes shifted from me then to the sky and ocean. "You know that feeling when you lock eyes with the person you like, and your heart skips a beat?" I stated.

Pope opened his mouth to speak but closed it. I could already tell he was going to reply with a fact, trying to find some response. "Yeah, that's Arrhythmia. You could die from that," he said. Yep, there it is. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. He agreed and looked out at the ocean.

The clouds started to fill with rain. Cold droplets fell from the sky, which created little indentations on the warm sand. I covered my head with my hands as if that would keep me from getting hit by the raindrops.

When I looked over my shoulder, I saw Kiara and Sarah holding hands as they twirled in the rain. My smile grew wider as I saw my friends dancing with the rain falling and the music playing. It was like a scene from a cheesy Rom-Com my mom enjoyed.

Thankfully it wasn't thundering, so we could stay outside. When I turned back to the view, Pope's eyes were on me. "What?" I said. "Nothing. You're just really pretty," he replied. We noticed that the group was starting to pack up our things.

The Twinkie wasn't parked too far away from the beach. So, we wouldn't have to be in the rain any longer. "We should probably get going. Don't want to be caught up in the storm on the way home," I stood up from the sand and brushed myself off. Even though I was trying to get the sand off, the rain kept making it stick.

Are we falling like snow at the beach? Weird but fucking beautiful Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful You wanting me tonight feels impossible But it's coming down, no sound, it's all around

"Wait," Pope grabbed my wrist. I was unprepared for the feeling of his lips on mine. It took me a couple seconds to comprehend what was happening. Was it really this easy? Was this all I had to do, to tell him how I felt?

Questions upon questions filtered through my mind, so much that I forgot what was happening. Pope's hand disappeared from my wrist as it laced with my hand. The rain slid from my skin onto the warm - now cold - sand.

Who would've thought that I'd ever have a kiss in the rain? Pope looked at me with a smile on his face. "No one's ever kissed me like that before," I said. "Is that a good thing, or...." his sentence wander. I bit my lower lip, nodding in reply. Pope grinned widely before leaning in for another kiss.

Like snow on the beach Like snow on the beach. Are we in a dream? Like snow on the beach Like snow, but it's coming down, no sound, it's all around

Kiara was the first one to cheer. The rest of the group followed along. "Thatta boy!" John B exclaimed, throwing an arm up in the air. Pope leaned his forehead against mine. He brought an arm in the air as well and hollered. Pope put his arms around me, hugging me tightly.

Do you listen to Johnny Cash? I know a few of his songs, but no I don’t listen to him. Like, I don’t have any of his songs on my playlist. If you could live on any other planet, which one would you choose? I’ll stay here on earth. Have you ever visited a haunted house? No. Is it currently nighttime where you are? No, it’s only 3PM. Pancakes or waffles? or french toast? Waffles and french toast.

Do you struggle with your weight or body image? Yes. I’m severely underweight and I really look terrible right now in the hospital. I’m very self-conscious and I already was prior to this, so. Is there anyone you can honestly say you trust with your life? My mom. What's one of your irrational fears, if you have any? Clusters/holes. What's something you'd like to tell yourself 5 years in the past? TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND DON’T BE A STUBBORN ASS. What's the best concert you've ever been to? Green Day was really fun. Have you ever seen a sinkhole in person? No. What's the first thing you'd do with $1 million? I’d have to pay off my debt first and I’d also pay off my parents’ and lil bro’s debts. What is something that people would be surprised to learn about you? I don’t know. What motivates you to get out of bed each morning? It used to be coffee, ha, but I can’t even have that since being here because of the breathing tube. And being in the hospital sucks, so there’s not much to look forward to. I was actually kinda starting to like mornings when I was at home prior to this. What does a typical day for you look like? Well, now my days are really the same. I’m completely bedridden for one, so I can’t do a whole lot. Good thing for my phone, laptop, and TV, otherwise I don’t know how I’d make it through. So, I still have those things, which is what I did at home. The nurses come in and give me meds or check stuff out each day around the same time. Otherwise, I’m just lying here. I may nap, which I’ve started doing more. At some point my mom will come and stay with me each day for as long as she can (either until visiting hours are over or she has to go to work). My dad and brother come a few times a week as well.

What has been your most memorable embarrassing moment? I don’t feel like thinking of one or talking about it. When did you last laugh until you cried? It’s been a very long time since I’ve had a good laugh like that. What is your motto or personal mantra? I don’t have one. Have you ever purchased something off of a mannequin? I might have, I don’t recall. What's one of your guilty pleasures? I don’t have one. What's something that's on your bucket list? I want to travel. Once I’m able to at some point, hopefully, I’d really like to try and go to more places. What makes you laugh the most? Certain people I watch on YouTube and my family.

What was the last gift you gave someone? I gave my mom and brother gift cards just because. What are you most known for? Uhh, I’m not known. I’m not anyone of importance. If you had to throw a themed party, what theme would you choose? Hm. I don’t know. What's a good karaoke song? *shrug* Name a random fact about anything. I’m hungry and unable to eat actual food, yet I’m watching a mukbang. WHY. What's your favorite animal? Dogs and giraffes. What TV show would you like to star in? None. I can’t act and I’m way too shy and awkward. I’d be awful. It would be fun to visit the sets of the shows I like, though. Do you ever meditate or do yoga? No. Do you ever forget where you put your belongings? No, I’m pretty good about that. What's something that gives you a lot of energy? Nothing. When was the last time you cleaned your bedroom? It’s been awhile since I’ve personally done it. Fortunately, I’ve had help from my mom and a couple of my aunts with that. They’ve done so much for me, like completely rearranging my room and sorted through things. They also helped me get rid of stuff. We had to make room for my special hospital bed and other medical supplies that I’ll need whenever I’m finally able to go home. Do you know any good riddles? No. Do you sleep with your door open or closed? At home I slept with it closed. Here, it stays open. Have you ever stolen a street sign or traffic cone? No. I don’t understand why people do that. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? At home, tucked in. I slept on top of my sheets and just used a throw blanket or my heated blanket if I needed something. My bed was always made because of that, so that was nice. When was the last time you used a coupon? I don’t remember. I haven’t done any shopping since being here, so I guess that’s something. I’m able to save up some money. When I was home I often got carried away with the online shopping. Ugh, I really want to, though. There’s been so many good sales and cute stuff that I’ve missed out on. I just don’t want to get anything I can’t even use right now and I don’t when I’d be able to cause I don’t know how long I’ll be here. I know I’m not leaving anytime soon. :/ Do you always smile for pictures? I’ll do a little closed- mouth smile. Do you count your steps daily? No. How many hours of sleep did you get last night? I think I may have gotten 5. I wake up a few times for a bit like when a nurse would come in or my body woke up cause I needed pain medicine. I’ve been able to sleep a little better since leaving the ICU, so that’s something. Would you ever pose nude for a magazine? Nooo. I wouldn’t take a nude photo at all. When was the last time you felt hot? I feel that way off and on throughout the day. What color are your sunglasses? I don’t wear sunglasses. Is it currently silent where you are? No, I hear a machine beeping (I’m SO sick of machines beeping) and the YouTube video I’m watching. Have you had a grey cat as a pet before? No. Do you own any pink sweaters? No. Do you prefer sitting or standing? All I can do is sit or lie down. Do you enjoy fruitcake? No. How about cherries? Nah. Do you like croc shoes? Nooo. I don’t understand how everyone went from thinking they were hideous to suddenly loving them, but somewhere along it happened and they became trendy. Those charm things you add to them, too? They don’t help, they’re still not cute. Do you mind if people pray for you? Not at all, I very much appreciate it. When was the last time you were sick? Now. Have been for a long time. Not in a cold or flu type of way, but other health reasons. It’s been a few years since I’ve had a cold. Although, I do kind of think I may have had COVID earlier this year. What is currently on your bedside table? I’m not sure, I haven’t been home and while I’ve been gone my room has been rearranged and cleaned up. Do you suffer from insomnia? Yes. What is your safe place? My home. What's something that makes you cringe everytime you see or hear it? Eating sounds. Did you ever used to play pinball? No. Do you miss phone calls often? I don’t receive many phone calls. When was the last time you lit a candle? I don’t light candles, I’m a scardy cat. Do you consume a lot of sugar? I started really getting into sweets this past year. I definitely had more than I usually did. Especially milkshakes and ice cream; I was obSESSED. Ugh, I want some ice cream so bad. I’ve missed out on all the new summer-y drinks. What was the last thing you misplaced? I don’t recall. How often do you wash your hair? Like every 2-3 days. Admittedly, I haven’t been able to wash my hair since being here. Who did you last smile at? The nurse. Tell me a story or fun memory. Nah. What scent is your current hand soap? I don’t have one, currently. Have you ever had a buzz cut? Not quite, but pretty close when I chopped all my hair off last summer. How much are you willing to spend on shampoo and conditioner? When I was dying my hair red I was buying this salon shampoo for red hair and it was like $10 bucks or so. My mom works at Walgreens and whenever stuff we need like that is on sale she buys a few of them, so I just use that.

Marriage. 95

Chapter 95: Valentine Day

As I get to the look out, I see I wasn’t the only one thinking this. As I see that Krillin had brought Marron, and Vegeta brought Trunks. “You got to be kidding me! This is not a daycare! You can’t leave your brats here! On top of that, when in hell, did I become a babysitter?”

The kids just grab Piccolo’s legs, and give him the puppy eyes. “But you’re uncle Piccolo. Don’t you love us no more?” Goten and Marron looked on the verge of crying, while Trunks pouted. Piccolo just started stuttering, and his cheeks had a hint of purple.

“I guess that settles that. We’ll be back tomorrow. Have fun kids.” We said bye to the kids, and I let Piccolo know that Gohan will be here later. With that we left. I wonder where would be an ideal spot, for me and Chichi’s first Valentine’s since I been back. Maybe by a waterfall? I haven’t done those. It usually in a meadow. Maybe we could go to the waterfall, that has that cave behind it. I’m sure she’ll love it. Thank goodness the boys aren’t going to be anywhere near home.

…

After we started video chatting at night, sometimes she would throw me off by wearing a towel. Is she trying to kill me? Ok, maybe one of twice I forgot about the camera and she may have seen me in just my boxers as I got ready to change. But in two days is Valentine’s day and I don’t know what I’m going to do. So, the hour before we usually called, I decided to search the internet. Maybe I could get an idea from there.

There were a ton of jewelry, and stuffed animals. But nothing seems like the right gift for Videl. There was also homemade chocolates. Not even that seemed right for her. Maybe I could take her somewhere. Then I thought back to that one-time dad took me and mom to an active volcano. That was super cool. Maybe we could go to a snowy region, and go ice skating. That’ll be fun. Mind made up.

…

I can’t believe it. Goku was so veg on where he’s taking me. All he told me was to pack a big picnic, and to wear a bathing suit. Well, I guess not that veg. Just enough to keep me on my toes. Now which bathing suit should I wear? I could wear his absolute favorite. Or surprise him with the new one, Bulma helped me buy. It’s almost liked my other bikini, but every little coverage. Oh, let me hurry up and put on my outfit, to hide what’s underneath.

When Goku gets back, he looks slightly disappointed. It’s probably because I’m wearing my traditional clothes. But what he doesn’t know, is what’s under. I’m getting so excited just thinking how he’ll react. As he flies us, to whatever location, we make small talk. Talk about how beautiful the view it, and how he can’t wait to dig into whatever I made for the picnic. When we finally land, I’m confused. We’re standing front of a waterfall, but there’s no space for a picnic. Then Goku tells me to follow him behind the waterfall, and it is beautiful.

Most of the time, we were just enjoying the food, and feeding each other. The whole thing felt really romantic. Even the part when he took off his shirt, and flexed his muscles. “You’re such a show off, Goku.” We started to giggle. He then pulled me closer, and asked if I was going to show him what was underneath. I started to feel my cheeks burning, as I remembered what I have under. I poked his nose. “Not yet.”

“Aw, how come?” He was pouting, and giving me those puppy eyes. “Please.”

“Stop whining. I just saying not now.” He pouted some more, and held me closer. He kissed along my jaw bone, and neck. “That’s not going to make me undress either.”

He then pulled away, pouting. “Then what is?”

“Stand up, and take off all your clothes, and flex very muscle.” At first, he looked speechless, till he gave me an evil grin. I was speechless, as he got up. Keeping his back side to me, he undid his belt, slack button and zipper. When they drop, I was dumbfounded, as I was now looking at his naked behind. So, he wasn’t wearing any underwear! That little cheater. “Actually, just stay still. I would like to exam you.”

I clawed up to him, and felt my way up on the back of his legs. I wonder how he’ll like it if I bite his butt. I bit him, and he tenses up. I couldn’t inward giggle at that. I then slowly make my way to his tail stub. I always did want to bit him here, but never got the chance. Well, now I do, and he shot forward in pain. “Hey.”

“Sorry.” He only pouts for a moment, before saying to try to lick him there. Guess I wasn’t the only own curious about that. Before long, he’s on his hands an knees. I’m not only licking, and sucking, around his tail stub, but also stroking his dick, while thrusting a finger in his ass. He’s down to biting his left hand, as I continue. And shortly he came a second time this way. He then turns, and gently sits on his butt.

“Let’s not do that ever again, unless it’s a special occasion. Ok?” I giggle as I agreed. “Now, come on. It’s your turn to show me what’s underneath.” I started to fully laugh, and crawled away from him. He grabbed my ankle, and pulled me into his lap. “What are you hiding?” I told him nothing.

“You have to open me like a present.” I started to laugh, as he gave me a puzzled look. Then he started to laugh.

“If you saw so.” He rubbed his hands together, and licked his lips. He then has me pinned down, and he rubbed my sides. “Can I rip you open?” I felt my cheeks burn, as I nod. Thank goodness I packed extra clothes. He rips my sash first, before he rips from my collar. When I was exposed to him, his mouth drops, before it becomes a huge smile. Then he licks his lips as he finished ripping my clothes away. “Is these new?” I nod. “You’re keeping them.” I start to laugh.

…

I’m so grateful Bulma has a cabin in the area. So, we didn’t have to worry about traveling to a warmer place, when we wanted a break. As we settle our things in the cabin, before we got ready to go skating. As we walked to the lake, we’re holding hands. It feels nice that it’s just the two of us. It was a bit embarrassing as Bulma teased me, about not doing anything she would do. I wanted to scream. What made it worst was that even Vegeta made comments.

As we get to the lake, I insist that I help her with her skates. “But I can do it myself.”

“I know, but I just want to do it.” She starts to giggle, as she lets me. Then when we got on the lake, it turned to be a nice time. Even trying to out do each other in a race. Before long, we’re both hungry, and head back to the cabin. We played rock paper scissors to know who would do lunch. I was so happy mom helped me learned to cook a certain dish, and glad I got the chance to make it today. Also, grateful I packed the ingredients this morning.

As I start setting up, Videl joins me in the kitchen. She asked if she could help, but I turned it down. Saying how I wanted this for her. Especially since this is our first Valentine’s, and that I wanted to make it special. Her face grew a pink shade, before she let me continued.

As I began to cook, I sense that she had returned to the kitchen. “You sure I can’t help?” I tell her how I was sure. As we let everything cook, we work on some of our assignments. She’s sitting super closed to me. Closed enough, that our arms were locked together, as we work. But every time I check on the meal, we have to unlock our arms. When everything is done, she had set the table. I hope I did a good job. As I watch her get ready to take the first bite, I started feeling anxious. “Mm. This is so yummy. Did your mom taught you how to make this?” I nod my head. I feel my face burning up, from the compliment. Almost half way through the mean, she makes a comment that it almost seemed that we were already married. Especially how I went all out for this.

I let out a nerves chuckle, and rubbed the back of my neck. “You really think so?” She started to giggle as she said yes. After lunch, we ended up on the couch, reading. She then suddenly gets up, and leaves to another room. I didn’t think anything about it. And that’s when I got a text. I was debating on checking on it, or leaving it alone. But curiosity got the best of me. When I saw what was the message I almost pass out. “VIDEL!” She happily entered the room. Her face was red. “Why? Just why?”

“Erasa said that what most guys like as a Valentine’s gift. You don’t like it?” She went from looking embarrassed to angry. Then she stormed over to me, and started throwing punches at me. I tried to block every one of them, and I could feel my whole body burning up.

“I was just completely shock! But I like it. I like it!” She still was trying to hit me. She then catches me off guard, and trips me. Now she was on top of me, and was ready to punch, till she paused. That’s when I realized why. Her anger was replaced with embarrassment, and she quickly gets off of me. I too felt embarrassed at what just happened. I turned away from her, as I felt my whole body burning, and took more notice of what was happening between my legs.

There was an awkward silence between us. Till she spoke first. “Did I over do it with the picture?”

“No. You look very…” I don’t know how to say it. What am I supposed to say? Beautiful? Sexy? Tasteful? “Nice.” I wanted to scream. Why did I say that? What am I supposed to do in this situation? I then hear her shift behind me, and I’m afraid to look. “So, Erasa told you to do that?”

“Well, since I didn’t know what I should do, I went to her for help. She suggested a lot of different things. And those were more embarrassing than the picture option.�� As I listened to her, I can’t help but wonder what was the other options. “Um. I actually have the outfit with me.” Now I have fainted.

…

“Are you sure I should try this? What if it scares him away?”

“Oh, calm down Videl. If this scares him, then something is wrong with him. For goodness sake. You two been dating like what, a year now. If he hasn’t run away from you by now, he could handle this.” I looked at the outfit she had placed on my bed. “Oh, be grateful I didn’t suggest nude pictures. And have you been doing what I also suggested when you two video chatted?” I felt my face burning up, from when Gohan first saw me in my panties. It took me everything to play it off. That first day I even caught him drooling, while I stood in my spandex, booty shorts, and tank top. The next day, he wasn’t able to look at me, and I felt really bad. But after a few more times, it became comfortable, to where even he had a moment of changing in front of me. And that imagine is burned into my memory.

I looked to Erasa, and told her I was ready. It’s a simple outfit. A little girly than what I normally wear, but hopefully he does like it. It’s a short red skirt, and a button-down black blouse. Erasa said I shouldn’t wear a bra, and to leave it unbutton, excepted for the last button. And she made me wear these glasses, and hold a book. We took many pictures, till I was finally happy with one.

As we read, I finally built up the courage to finally show him. He was being extremely sweet today, and even made a romantic lunch. But I still felt somewhat embarrassed, so I went to the bathroom and sent it. “VIDEL!” He doesn’t like it. I feel so hurt. I went through all that trouble, and he doesn’t like it. So, I started to try to punch him. How dare he! When I ended up on top of him, is when I felt something hard pressing against my privates.

“Um. I actually have the outfit with me.” That’s when I heard a loud thump, and looked to find that Gohan had passed out. I started to panic, as I tried to get the situation under control. When he finally came through, there was another awkward silence. It took us both a long time to finally look at each other. “Should we go back to ice skating?”

His face was turning red, as he tried to speak. When he finally did say something, it was asking to see me wear the outfit. “But only if you want to.”

…

“You’re keeping them.” She starts to giggle, as I lean in to capture her lips. I feel her breasts through the thin fabric. It’s so thin and small, that I could practically see through them. I gently take them off her, and take in the sight of my perfect Chichi. I then grabbed her hips. “You get the honors of choosing how I take you.”

She starts giggling, as she says standing. Mm. we rarely do those positions, even before I died. I held onto her hips as I start to slowly get on my feet. She’s still leading back, as I shove myself into her already wet core. I start at a slow pace, to get a good feel of this position. When she starts begging for me to go harder, I gladly do. With each thrust I feel as if I’m going in deeper. Keeping one hand on her hip, I use the other one to thumb play with her clit. It has her begging for me. When she came, I still didn’t let up. After she came a second time, I pull out, and let my seed spill onto her.

I then flipped her, to where I’m holding her by the wrists, as I take her from the back. As I let go of her wrist, one hand is on her hip, while the other takes hold of a fist full of hair. I keep ramming into her, and pulling her hair. My grip on her hip tightens, as she tightens around me, and her screams becomes louder. A few more and… “GOKU!” I let go of her hair, and grab the other hip, and continue ramming inside. She becomes even more tight and soon… “CHICHI!” I try my best to keep us standing, as I view my hand print on her lovely hips.

Once I redrew from her, I have her face me, as I pick her up. We share kisses, as she wraps her legs around, before I shove right back in. She usually doesn’t like when we do this; saying how sometimes it scares her. But I’m so happy she chose this for Valentine’s Day. We continue battling each other’s tongues, and as our bodies move together. She bites my tongue, as she comes all over me. And again, once more, and when I came, I bit her tongue, which made her come a third time. Man, do I love her.

I sat us down, while keeping her on my lap. “Aw. Does my big, strong Goku need a break?”

“Funny, Chichi.” I kiss her neck. “Wanna take a little dip, in one of the pools?” I felt her rubbing my shoulders, as I rubbed her back.

“Sure. Maybe there we could go another round.”

“And you say I’m the needy one.” We both laugh, as I carry her to one of the pools. We enjoyed the cool water, before I’m taking her once again. After a few more rounds, we finally decide to go home. When we do, we went at it again, in our room. Now she was drawing circles on my chest, as my fingers comb her hair, while we were enjoyed the afterglow. “I really do love you.”

“And I really do love you.” With that, we snuggled as we fell asleep. The next day, I went to the lookout, to pick up the boys. Comes to find out, the kids drove Piccolo insane, and making him beg that we don’t do that again. Sorry, but no promises. As me and the boys flew home, Goten went on how much fun he had. And how when Gohan got there, he had a super big smiley face. And that it took a while for him to look at Mr. Piccolo, when asked what he did. And Goten also said how Mr. Popo let everyone play in this clock room. Sounds like the little guy had a blast. And telling from how red Gohan face was, he too had a good Valentine’s day. I hope you didn’t do anything you’re not supposed to. No dad. I didn’t. Good.

…

“But only if you want to.” Her face became red when I asked her. I know my face is on fire, for even admitting that out loud. I watched her get up and grab her book bag. She headed to the bathroom, and a few moments later, she stepped out with the outfit. The picture didn’t do her any justice, for she looked way better in person. She at least kept the blouse closed, and I can tell she has her spandex shorts underneath. She then walked over to me and sat on the floor. She was looking at the floor, and her face was really red. My whole body was on fire, just looking at her.

I finally got some courage in me, as I asked if I could touch her. She said yes, and I timidly moved closer to her. The blouse had long sleeves, while the skirt reached her mid-thigh. I was now sitting next to her, and I touched just above her knee. Her skin felt soft. I rub as far as mid thigh, as I move closer to her. I use my other hand to hold her by the hip, and have her closer to me.

Our faces are inching apart, as I lose myself in the sea of her eyes. I don’t who moved but now our lips were touching. It started a gentle touch, to then exploring each other’s mouths. I’m starting to be happy that I wore short sleeves today. As my hands are rubbing her thigh, and her hip, her hands are rubbing rubbing my bare upper arms. As we’re kissing my nose catches the whiff something sweet, and it also smells like Videl. I have the strongest urge to find out about that smell, but then I suddenly remembered something dad told me. So, instead of end the kiss, to find what the smell is, I mentally smile.

It’s Videl that ends the kiss, and her face has a shade of pink. She looks so cute. She then surprises me, by sitting on my lap. But it’s how she’s sitting that got my face burning up. Her legs on either side of me, while she has her arms wrapped around my neck. And it’s having that scent become stronger, that I’m fighting to stay in control. To top it off, she’s currently pressing down on me. My whole body is on fire, and how she’s looking at me is not helping. My first reaction is just to kiss her. I try to not to move my hands from her hips.

When we part the kiss, I automatically burry my nose in the cork of her neck, and take in a deep whiff. I just enjoy this moment of insanity, that’s she’s putting me through, but try to go no further. Just then her phone rings. As disappointed that she had to leave my grasp, I’m also so relieved. I thought I was dying from the overwhelming sensations. Turns out to be her dad, and she has to go home. I finally get up from the floor, and we share one more kiss, before she goes to the bathroom to change. I then look at the picture she sent me. I’m so lucky.

After I take Videl home, we share one more kiss, before I head to the lookout. On my way there, I’m just full of excitement and overwhelming joy. If I go by what dad said, and how mom explain things, that scent I was smelling was Videl being aroused. I actually make her make her aroused. That’s a nice thought. I was starting to feel scared that maybe I couldn’t do that. But if today is anything to go by, we both have a huge effect on each other.

When I reached the lookout, I paid no mind to how the brats were fighting each other. They usually do that. I simply walked past everyone, and sat at the steps. Mr. Popo asked if I wanted anything to eat, which made my stomach answer for me. We both laughed, as I followed him to another area to eat. Once done, I went back outside, and came face to face with a very annoyed Mr. Piccolo. He was carrying a sleeping Marron, while keeping the brats from punching each other. I couldn’t help snicker at the sight, before I went to help him.

I got Goten, and asked him what happened this time. “Trunks pushed me off the lookout. All because I beat him at rock paper scissors.” Goten was just pouting, as he crossed his arms. This was just too funny. I tried to cheer him up, but doesn’t seem to work. “Besides, big brother, why are you all super duper happy?” I felt my right side of my face twitch, before I looked away, and told him no reason. That’s when Mr. Piccolo and Trunks came over, and started asking me the same question. I tried to get away from them, as my body began to burn up, with the memory of what happened today. It took forever for them to leave me alone about it. Well, so I thought.

When everyone went to a room, to sleep, Mr. Piccolo wanted to talk with me before I went to bed. “Aw, come on.” He told me to stop whining, and tell him what I did today. “I was just spending time with Videl.” He gave me a weird face. “No! Not like that!” I waved my hands in front of me. “We were just ice skating, and having lunch.” He gave me one more funny look, before walking out the room.

When I sense that he’s outside, do I hug my pillow, as I take out my phone. I look at the picture Videl sent me, and I replay in my head what we did today. Replaying how she felt on top of me. Replaying how she smelled. As I look at the picture, do I finally notice, she has a small birthmark on the side of her right breast, from what I could see. The fact I can see she has a birthmark brings a whole another level of excitement. The birthmark almost looks like a heart. So cute.

I hope you didn’t do anything you’re not supposed to. No dad. I didn’t. Good. My face became hot when dad said that, and I couldn’t look at him. When we got home, mom was cooking lunch. Goten quickly went to give her a hug, and I told her hi. I was going to go to my room, till dad pulled me back outside. Dad asked me was I sure nothing happened, and that I should be honest with him. “Nothing happen.” I couldn’t even look at him. All I could feel was anxiety and my face on fire, as he was making me talk about things. Well, it’s best I at least admit a few things, not like he asking for full details. “We mostly were just kissing, and I…”

“STOP!” I looked up at him, and he was waving his hands as if to say hold it. Even his face was red. Glad I’m not the only one who feels this is awkward. “Me and your mother just wants to make sure you’re not doing certain things. If you say you’re not, and you absolutely mean it, then I believe you.” That actually calm me down, and I gave a smile, as I nod my head. “But if something does come up, just know you can come to me or mother. Ok?”

“Yes dad.” After that, we walked back inside to enjoy lunch.

survey #124

Do you like pineapple on pizza? To be entirely fair, I don't think I've tried it, but considering I'm generally not a fan of sweet and savory combos, I'm doubtful I would enjoy it.

Do you like milk? I do, but only legitimate, mammalian milk. No oat, soy, etc. stuff; trust me, I've tried it because the dairy industry is actually fucking horrible and rooted in awful abuse & I want NOTHING to do with it, but I just don't like non-dairy alternatives, like in the way that I have to aggressively fight spewing it out - which I don't always succeed at. I just hate it. I am so, so sensitive to tastes I dislike.

Do you like syrup or powdered sugar on your french toast? Uh I guess a bit of both is ideal, but I could see me going for one or the other depending on my mood.

Do you put jelly or butter on your toast? I honestly don't really eat toast. But if I DO have it for whatever reason, I'm gonna want grape jam on it.

Do you like baking? Never done it. I really should learn, though... I just need to learn cooking in general.

What are you grandparents' names? Right now I only remember my mom's parents' tbh, which were Cecelia and William.

If any, how old are your siblings? Ashley is 29, Nicole JUST turned 25, Misty is 35, Katie is 39, and Bobby is... oh, he doesn't have his birth year on FB, so idk lmao, but younger than Katie. Full disclosure I looked up Misty's and Katie's too bc I'm awful and don't remember my half-siblings' birthdays/ages like a literal asshole <333333

What color is your dad's hair? So he was born blonde IF I remember his childhood pictures correctly, but it became totally black for the majority of his life. It's pretty much entirely gray by now, but you can see the hue kinda peppers in lightness in a sorta way where at least to me, you can tell his hair is supposed to be black, he's just old.

How old was your mom when she had you? FUCK my mom doesn't have her birth year on FB either, but I THINK it was 1961, so if that is the case she would've been 34. It's somewhere around there.

Do you live with any of your family members currently? Just my mom.

What is your favorite cousins name? I don't have a close relationship with any of my cousins, honestly.

Who are you closest to in your family? My mom.

How long have you and your partner been together? It's been around a year and a half now.

Do you live together? Not currently, but I'm aware that when he has his own place again, he wants me to come with him. His mom is in a stable enough place and has been for a long enough time where he's comfortable leaving her with the house, but because of just how fucking CLINICALLY INSANE the housing market is right now, he just hasn't found a decent place that's priced even remotely reasonably. It's just financially intelligent to stay where he is until the market gets better or an incredible deal falls into his lap.

What is the first movie you watched together? As a couple? Technically, I think it'd be Coraline, which I know we watched once at my place the first time we tried dating in '17. Oh wait... or it mighta been the remake of It, which we watched in theaters.

How old are they? He's 29 and convinced he's basically on this deathbed age-wise lmao sir your life has JUST started

What are some things you enjoy doing? Primarily computer-related stuff, like watching videos or listening to music, socials activities, RPing, editing various things, playing WoW, doing surveys... but I also like to take photographs, read, draw, play video games (these days primarily with others), and I would absolutely adore going on nature walks and things of the like if I was in better shape (one day!!), and it wasn't hot. I also love learning about and watching animals.

What is your favorite color? Pastel pink is #1, followed by... many other pink shades, haha, like coral, rose gold, neon, fuchsia, etc. etc. I also like deep, regal reddish-purple colors, like maroon and burgundy, and lighter shades of purple, like lilac, orchid, and such.

What state are you from? North Carolina.

Have you ever adopted an animal? I'm assuming you don't mean truly "purchase" from a breeder or something, in which case, yes.

Have you ever taken in a stray? That's how our outdoor cat infestation from my childhood started, haha. I know my family (myself 100% included) has ZERO regrets over rescuing Chance, but yeah, it was a massive problem. Even after her, when we'd entered a phase of having no cats, we took in two kittens (Aphrodite and her sister whose name I just can't remember anymore) that were LITERALLY thrown out of a car in a plastic bag. Aphrodite started a fresh chain of having way too many cats, but not nearly as many as we had with Chance's family. They were still taken by animal control, though, because of wildly shitty neighbors that never communicated "hey they keep wandering into our yard, stop this or we're calling somebody." Coming home from school to every single one of them gone was one of the worst days of my fucking life (I was literally shrieking curses and sobbing on the porch), and I still grieve Aphrodite especially; I adored that cat. BUT ANYWAY, DO NOT keep your cats outdoors, and even when solely indoor pets, spay/neuter them, PLEASE.

What is an animal you are scared of? Whale sharks. It's funny, I like them, they're such peaceful animals, but their mouths just REALLY freak me out. I'd actually like to swim near one one day, maybe kill the fear.

Have you ever been bitten by a dog? Not a serious bite, no. Just a couple nips from nervous ones, the kinds that never even drew blood. My sister has been bitten by a German shepherd though on the hand; it belonged to her friend, and for some reason I don't remember, the dog just attacked her. She wound up needing stitches, and bless her friend, poor girl was sobbing because she felt so bad. It didn't affect Nicole's love for dogs though, and later in life she basically owned a German shepherd named Zeke. Maybe she sorta still does, idk; he was her ex-boyfriend's, and even after the split I know she's always been allowed to see him and I THINK bring him to her place occasionally? That dog is literally the child of divorced parents lmfao

Is Halloween your favorite holiday? Concept and aesthetic-wise, absolutely yes. I LIVE for the vibe, but as far as celebrating the holiday goes, it's not; I really don't do anything, pretty much ever. Christmas is definitely my fave celebratory-wise, because my family gets together and I just love seeing Ash's kids be so overjoyed about it all. It's just one of those days where you really, really focus on the love you have for the people you choose to spend your life with.

Do you like to watch scary movies during October? Meh, I'm just not a movie person, at least when it comes to watching them alone. I'd totally be done for like, watching them with Girt. Primarily because he hates horror/is a total pansy about it and it's hilarious lmfao

What are a couple of your favorite horror films? The original The Blair Witch Project is #1 (I like the sequel too), and I also totally adore The Crazies; maybe tied with the former mention, actually, idk. I thought The Boy was EXCELLENT, that's actually a movie I'd love to watch again. You can't go wrong with The Shining, either! The acting is just historical, plus I'm really into the concept of hysteria building off of what is technically nothing; I think that's also why I love The Blair Witch Project so much, at least the explanation behind it (collective hysteria, overreacting to certain things). The mind is SUCH a powerful thing.

What is your favorite Halloween treat/candy? Pumpkin-shaped Reese's, haha.

Do you often find yourself eating just because you’re bored? I used to be really bad at this, but not so much anymore. I'm not gonna say it NEVER happens, but I've gotten way better about reinforcing to myself "no, you're not hungry, you're bored."

Are you a sex addict? lmao if you know me at all, you know I'm definitely not.

Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend taken from you? No. She tried, but I know Juan didn't date her after a lie she made up DID make me say "you know what fuck this I'm done with this whole drama bye" and break up with him. The lie she'd told was very believable for him honestly, and even though I DID know it could be a lie, Rachel had caused enough stress for me already and I wasn't confident enough of how into Juan I was to put up with it. To this day, I consider that lie a saving grace. I know Juan's done bad things that I don't know about (it's specifically stuck with me to this day that his answer to me asking about a stab wound scar he had was "I deserved it"), and bad things I do know about. It says something when your teacher pulls you aside when she noticed him visiting me a lot in art class to tell me to stay away from him. I'm pretty sure she did this literally twice, but for certain once.

If so, what would you like to do to the person who took them from you? Even in the hypothetical of Juan getting back with Rachel after that incident, Rachel is actually my friend now and I think she's fantastic (people grow, I will not hold her past against her). I wish her zero harm at all, only good things.

Have you ever been cheated on? If so, have you forgiven them? No. To mention my last survey, I DO sometimes wonder if Jason and the girl he dated after me (Ashley) had something stirring before we even split, but in total honesty, I don't think so, I really don't. I don't think that's the kind of person Jason was. But it WAS definitely alarming just how quickly he was onto someone else after we split following dating super seriously for over three and a half years.

Quick! Tell me the name of your favorite movie. The Lion King and The Meerkats 2008 documentary. I forget to mention the latter a lot, because it's an obscure movie barely anyone you will ever meet probably even knows, but it is simply phenomenal.

Do you wear water bras? ... What the fuck is a water bra?

Have you ever sent an anon hate message, be honest now. Nope.

Would you let someone give you a golden shower for a million dollars? I had to look this up and hell fucking no.

Name a band that you think is beyond overrated: I don't care man, let people enjoy whatever art they want. I really don't even know who's "in" these days anyway.

Who is the last person you said goodbye to? My PT therapist for today. She was new for me and is already tied with one other woman for my favorite, haha.

Who can you not live without? Nobody. PLEASE, don't adopt this mentality. I know it's hard to, but think realistically: you, in all technicality, CAN live without any one person, and I think this is so important to remember for when one day, you do lose them in one way or another, and you have to continue living without them. I totally used to believe this when it came to Jason, and I know it played a massive role in the severity of the breakup aftermath, but look at who the hell is living just fine - even happily - without him now.

What’s your favorite sea creature? Giant whales like blue whales top the list, but I also deeply love sea turtles, sea lions, seahorses, jellyfish, and dolphins. Sharks are also very cool and VERY unfairly villainized!!

What’s your favorite acoustic song? The "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" one by Sleeping With Sirens, I think. That's been a high wedding song contendor for years now, lmao.

What’s your favorite riddle? Okay so this is really just because of context/plot; it's from God of War: Ragnarök, where Brok asks, "What gets bigger the more you take away from it?," and Mimir realizes the answer near the end: a hole. You'd have to play the game to understand and feel the sheer weight of it, which I HIGHLY recommend, the game is fucking brilliant, I cried SO much through it.

What do you think happens after we pass? I just don't know. I know I don't believe in some perfect paradise and a wicked hell for suiting people, but I DO believe we're still... there somehow, but definitely not with the level of sentience and awareness that we do while alive. I like to think that it's a peacefulness, a feeling of wholeness with the world.

^ Is it different from what you’d like to happen? I don't know, really. It's like, on the surface, the idea of a Heaven sounds fantastic, but... to live in nothing but flawless harmony for all conceivable eternity? That just doesn't sound ideal for me. And I ABSOLUTELY don't believe in/want a Hell-like realm to exist, because like I mentioned earlier, people change, grow, and are ALWAYS (well, I suppose almost always) deserving of the chance to redeem themselves. Eternal punishment so severe that our human minds can't even interpret it is just purely fucking diabolical to me, I want that for nobody.

How do you feel about people self-diagnosing themselves with disorders? Hear me out: it depends. In MOST CASES, I absolutely hate this, especially when the person acts like it is stone-hard fact while holding an unconvincing amount of evidence. However, there are plenty of people who just don't have access to doctors capable of properly diagnosing, and then there's also worth mentioning that you know you more than anybody else does. Just depends on a lot.
