"No, don't - don't come any closer."
"Reg-"
"Please, please, I don't want you to see me like this, just let me - let me clean myself up and-"
"You're shaking."
"Sorry."
"You don't - Reg - Regulus, stop, hey," he takes the other boy by the arm as he tries to get past him, pulling him in.
"I'm sorry," Regulus says again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry."
"Sh, sh, it's alright, we're alright," Regulus is flush against his chest, head tucked beneath his chin.
"I don't know why I'm crying."
"You don't need to have a reason."
"You shouldn't have to come home to this."
"What are you talking about? I get to come home to you. That's all that matters."
Regulus shakes his head against James's shirt, sniffling. "I'll get myself together."
"I don't mind you apart."
"I meant to have dinner ready."
"I'm not hungry."
"James."
"Regulus."
"I don't know what's wrong with me," he says miserably.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," and then, after a brief pause, and in a voice so gentle Regulus doesn't know how it's even possible: "You're just depressed."
Regulus half-laughs and half-sobs into James. "You have no tact, anyone ever tell you that? No tact at all."
"You tell me all the time," kissing the top of his head and holding him more tightly. A few seconds pass before: "I love you, you know?"
Regulus's hands are all twisted up in James's shirt, a wounded noise coming out of his mouth. "I thought it might stop, now that..."
"That?"
"You and I are..that we're so good. I thought it might stop."
"Don't think it works like that."
"I'm sorry."
"No," kissing his head again. His temple. His ear. His cheek. "I don't mind Regulus, I really don't. You just need to tell me, okay? Tell me when you feel it coming on, and I'll know and I'll be here."

Velvette using Vox as bait to lure sleepwalking/inebriated Valentino away from her fucking clothing storage because the damn moth keeps chewing up the fabrics
Vox is unaware, he can do his work anywhere so she just wheels him around on an office chair and he can't be bothered to even ask what stupid game they've thought up to entertain themselves.

"In this world, I'm known as...the Winter King" 🌨❄️🌬
This cosplay was so so close to never seeing the light of day, as this was the aforementioned project I rage quit to procrastinate with Nekomancer on haha. I really adored the fionna and cake special (and adventure time in general) and wanted to cosplay from it for eons...although I will admit this project was intended to be "generic blue and silver winter regal outfit for a variety of characters" and it was a toss up on whether or not the first run was going to go to the Winter King/Simon or Jack Frost...but I couldn't find my jack frost wig so here we are!
This was my first time working a lot with velvet and low key....I loved it and would love to use it more.
