Can I request jealous nanu and larry hcs? they're so aloof it would be so cute to see them uncharacteristically clingy/frustrated

cw: jealousy, fluff,

characters: Larry, Nanu

💼Larry🏢

🍙 Truth be told, Larry could get jealous quite easily. He simply just suppressed the emotion, as he did with most things. It got in the way. The salaryman had long accepted it was best to just forget things that got in the way of his everyday. Many things, like finding a spouse and settling down, maybe starting a family, truly caring about his work. Unfortunately, one person in his life proved themselves quite an obstacle to that simply existence of suppression and endless masking. You.

🍙 He becomes a bit passive aggressive when he is truly jealous, acting strangely out of his usual motions and doing things that might seem harsh and cold. In the end, he will feel embarrassed by his actions. He will likely apologise or may even just try to pretend it did not happen depending on what it was. Larry does not like when he feels strong emotions like that. It is a rare and unpleasant change in him that he immensely dislikes.

🍙 Thankfully he is entirely easy to comfort and reassured. In fact, it can usually be ignored or go unaddressed, and it will still pass. Though, telling him that there is no reason to feel jealous as you really are into him may make any small lingering resentment fade. Larry does genuinely feel relieved at your words and even more embarrassed by his actions in the end.

This was yet another situation in which you utterly obliterated his facade with little prior thought or intention. You had joined him out to eat. Granted, Larry and you were in a relationship and this was part of your usual routine. It was less joining and more schedule. At first, it had been ordinary. You sat beside him at the counter and made light conversation with him. Yet, when he had stepped away only once to use the bathroom, he returned to find a change. A younger man now sat at your side, clearly flirting away. He seemed quite unaware of your solely polite behaviour as he kept on.

Larry felt a strange feeling pang in his chest. This fellow was clearly barely in his late twenties at the oldest and had a well-trained physique. Clearly someone who took care of themselves. His skin had a healthy colour, clearly reflective of the time he spent outside. He could easily win you over. It must have been easy for a guy like him. Yet… Larry felt strangely possessive over you. Nothing inside him dared wanted to lose you. His gaze was masked by his usual facade, but intense feelings burned inside him.

Your talking to him was interrupted by Larry sitting back down. His arm suddenly came around your shoulders. The guy seemed a bit startled by the by sudden movement, as did you. Your attention went to him, while his face was unreadable. A brow cocked up on your face, but Larry did not say a word. You noticed the strangeness in his behaviour. His second order of a beef bowl had gone ignored. “Is your food fine, dear?” Larry asked, clearly trying to pretend that he was not acting strangely. You blinked. Oh, was he jealous?

Politely, you managed to dismiss the flirty stranger easily with Larry now skulking around. The meal was seemingly finished as Larry paid, and you two headed out together. It was a mostly quiet walk home, but the man kept an arm around you still. His gaze had become distant, too. A sign that he was off in his own head. By the time you two stood outside the door of your shared abode, you pulled away from him to look him in the eyes. “… Were you jealous?” You tilted your head. Larry froze. Was there a correct response to that outside of the truth? He pondered it for a moment.

His head nodded. You wanted to laugh. Oh, poor Larr-bear. No wonder his behaviour had truly become so strange. “Larry, do you really think that I would suddenly want to leave you so flagrantly?” you asked him, leaning closer to the middle-aged man. He swallowed. No, he did not. Your feelings were more than apparent with how you worked to break down his carefully set-up walls. His jealousy felt ridiculous now, but before he could do anything, you quickly embraced him. A kiss was pressed to his cheek as he let out a sigh. “It was kind of cute,” you teased him, “… Should I remind you more of how much I love you?” Larry swallowed.

Work tomorrow would see an exhausted everyman show up.

🐈‍⬛️Nanu❤️‍🩹

🌑 Nanu really did not think he had a jealous streak at all. It simply felt like a waste of energy, and he did not wish to spend his time thinking about others. He figured the best way to live after leaving the International Police was quietly and peacefully. Sure, the Tapu might have deigned him worthy to be the Kahuna and he could not dare reject such a sacred title to his home, but he was not the sort to run around and inject himself into anything. Now, that had come to a change when you entered his life. Unfortunately, you liked to drag him along to do things even more than Acerola. And it was harder to tell you no since you lived together.

🌑 In the off chance he does, he becomes like a spited cat. Glaring and almost waiting to pounce. A harsh gave and an auea to just "leave" seems emanate from him. He will also likely become possessive over you in a rare show of PDA from him as he tries to almost prove himself. It feels so silly and odd to him in retrospect, but he really cannot control it. A frustrating thing for him. Strong emotions are a bother. He does not even want to acknowledge it afterward despite knowing that he likely will.

🌑 Nanu likely reassures himself almost. Though, having a few gestures of affection and loving words definitely speeds along the process. Of course, he trusts and knows his partner loves him and would not ever betray him, but he feels upset it even crossed his mind. In the end, he likely will try to make it up to you in a strange, Nanu-way. It works as both an apology and reassurance.

You had brought him out excitedly to Malie Garden for a date. Any complaints that he could have had were lost as you two simply enjoyed a quiet lunch together in the beauty of curated nature. He supposed he should have felt some pride, seeing as all this growth was with put a doubt thanks to Tapu Bulu, but he unfortunately had a call from a certain somebody and needed to step away from you to take it. It had lasted longer than he expected as the caller seemed to enjoy the sound of their own voice too much, but he managed to get away in the end and return. Which left him bewildered. A familiar black and grey haired man say across from you chatting away.

Nanu felt odd when he watched your face twist into a grin at whatever the white kimono wearing man's words. Certainly, he knew that man had an enchanting beauty to him. Especially here in Alola with his complexion rivaling even that of those Ultra Recon whatever had. The Kahuna felt annoyed that he even felt upset in the first place. Had he not tried to chase you off in the first place? Maybe letting you go off with the gambler turned was a better option. Nanu closed his eyes. No. He realised that he simply had become too attached to you.

Nanu sat down beside you and let his arm come around your shoulders to press you into his side. The strange man cocked up a brow at the Kahuna when their gazes met. Words did not need to be spoken. Intentions and meanings were simply understood with little verbal acknowledgement. A chuckle came from the white-wearing man. “So you're still lingering here, Grimsley?” Nanu asked, unsurprised, truly. To an outsider, it might have looked like two felines in a discourse.

Grimsley gave a nod and seemed to find reason to excuse himself. You could only wonder what just happened. Nanu also appeared ready to head out of the garden, since you had already finished lunch. His hand seemed to tightly hold on to your wrist as he led you through Malie and back towards the Po town police station. A few Skull grunts were clearly intrigued by the actions you two shared. Nanu's actions were utterly baffling to you. He had never acted like that before, as you tried to figure out what that was. Eventually, you could only settle on something after remembering the sight of two Meowths fighting over your lap. “Nanu?” you stopped him before he led you inside, “Were you… jealous of him?”

Nanu blinked a few times. Why, yes. Yes, he certainly was. He nodded. You almost had to fight back laughter. Really, you clearly thought, him getting jealous? “Grimsley seemed fun, but I don't think he's the type you can get a line on,” you told the Kahuna as you suddenly embraced him, “Besides, I like you. I don't want anybody else.” You moved in to kiss him, which he reciprocated despite a few eyes on you both. Something snapped in him, though. You had still complimented Grimsley. The door was opened as he pulled you inside and locked the door. He was still a man, after all.

Guzma preferred not to think about the sounds he heard walking home that night.

HOW TO FIX BISEXUAL WOMEN IN THE GAME

So you've read the title and probably just wanna get straight to this, so I will. If you cba to read my explanation as to why I dislike some of the women LI characters, scroll down and find some red text, that's when I get on with things.

DISCLAIMER: After a recent ask at the time of editing this, I just wanna add the fact that this is a friend's to lovers route, and just my opinion. There will be multiple of these, so keep that in mind when you read through.

Fusebox SUCK at writing Bisexual women, and couldn't do a proper wlw to save their life, in my own personal opinion of course. So far, we've had Talia, Marisol, Elisa, AJ, Yasmin, Lily, Najuma, Cora, Angie, Dana, Gabi, Lulu, Bella, Chloe, Flo and Bonnie.In MY opinion, only Talia, Najuma in a way and Angie are the only ones written well.

Talia still has a good relationship with Jake if you don't pursue her, Najuma has no issues with going after Youcef (though she is a little on me sometimes) and Angie has an absolutely amazing friends to lovers and is the only reason why I play S4 despite actually enjoying that season very much weirdly.

So now we'll move onto the bad, because that's what this post is for.

Marisol is such a pain in the ass to get, and I just think she comes across as a bit manipulative and shitty. I've NEVER done a route for her because firstly I don't find her attractive at all, but mostly I think it's just too much of a hassle to get her. And the fact that she continues to use Graham in an attempt to make us jealous is so goddamn stupid like babe, just say it flat out and take my answer.

Elisa is the better of the two, yet ofc I haven't done her route as you HAVE to be on a Marisol route for her. I think she's gorgeous, and I find her kinda amusing (I know, odd me) but I think she just needed to come earlier, or have her be an open route already. I can't comment much more on her as I barely see her much afterwards, but I think she was a waste of potential.

Then we have Aj. And I love my girl, I really do, but S3 is so forgettable to the point where I can't actually remember how pushy she could be? Same with Lily to be honest. BUT one thing I do remember about Lily is the fact that she can steal you at the end, and then Aj leaves which SUCKED because that's how mine ended up the first time round, so she's never been in my good book for that. And then there was also Yasmin, but I haven't done her route so I can't give an opinion unfortunately.

Next we have S4 with Cora as I've already touched upon Najuma and Angie. See, I don't think Cora's BAD but I kinda hate the fact that she's like a false LI. The fact that you can't stay coupled up with her is a little annoying since I would've enjoyed a route with her, but it is a nice change of pace having someone basically reject your MC after coupling up with them. So, not terrible, but not amazing.

Then S5. Oh dear. Lulu is honestly the only one really worth it in the end. She's sweet, and she isn't clingy. Neither is Gabi to be fair, so for wlw I would definitely go for them. I think Gabi is a better character than people allow. She has depth to her, and people always talk about "oh but her little tantrum with the ring" I'm sorry but if a guy was sleeping round my house and I find a ring, I'm gonna think it's for me and not the "other women" you've just found. So I understand why she did it. Besides, she also got a confession out of Suresh, so is it really that bad?

Dana on the other hand, oh dear. Not only can she not take no for an answer, she also cheats on you, and then acts really shitty all throughout casa amor. Honestly, it's really satisfying going after Gabi after being with her, because she brings my mental health further down than it already is. And not only that, she's ugly asf??? She looks ill, I'm more concerned than attracted. And- yeah, the shading is all off, and the hair colour isn't it.

Before I continue my rant about that, let's move onto S6. I think Bella, Chloe, and Flo are all really attractive. The only thing that frustrates me is A. The fact that you can only couple up with them at the final recoupling, and B. The fact that you basically have to pick and choose who stays and who goes. And I think that they're all kinda pushed onto you. Of course, that's a writing error, but it makes me like the characters a little less when they seem really clingy and on you like no-one else exists.

And finally, so far, S7 with Bonnie. To keep things nice and simple, Bonnie should've been an OG girl instead. Whether she stayed as Bonnie or her whole reasoning was pushed onto an OG girl instead doesn't matter. She just never should've been an LI. Having Joyo/Bryson (I think) take her back to the villa when they feel nothing is so stupid. And I know it was only because they wanted to keep her since she's an LI. Which is why she should've been at the villa in the first place, so that it didn't put them in an awkward spot. On top of that, her character doesn't serve much purpose if you're either not into her, or not into women.

SO NOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THAT OUT OF THE WAY, you can read on from here if you didn't care about that shit and just wanted to see how I'd do this.

So the female LI of the season (if they only added in one) should be an OG from the start. I think that you have to do specific things to unlock that route. For example, say you're into women, and have a high heart score with said character (that's based on the original app, idk how it'd work for the new one now that the emojis are mostly nonexistent). You should only be able to pursue said woman if it makes sense.It should start off with Woman LI saying how she's into both men and women, and can't wait to start her journey. None of this "oH iM eXciTEd To GeT tO kNoW yOU"

NO. The female LI shouldn't have the sole purpose of being an LI for the MC.Then we'd see her recouple with a guy at least once or twice. During that time, she can talk about how things aren't exactly feeling right for her, but she thinks it might just be the fact that they're in the villa. I don't want to be automatically pushed onto this character. I want her to either randomly come out and say it, or hint at it.

And then after a challenge or some really hefty drama that splits the villa in two (because we love some drama) I'd want this sort of scene to happen:

Note: All FEMALE LI'S dialogue is in YELLOW.

"Hey. MC? Can I talk to you quickly?"

MC would follow potential F!LI to the firepit because it's weirdly symbolic. Then it would either be one of two options depending on if the route has been unlocked.

LOCKED ROUTE: "I'm worried about my time here. I'm just not clicking with anyone right now. (Her partner's name) isn't quite who I thought he'd be. And after today, I'm not really sure if I can trust him or not. Or anyone but you really. I don't know what to do. Since I think of you as the closest girl I know in this villa, a best friend even, I was wondering if I could get your advice?"

This would be securing the fact that she is now locked, and won't be able to be an option later on. I think it's a good idea to lock her to keep things simple. And then you could even add in another woman later to be her partner. Whether the new woman is also an LI too is in the air.

BUT what if she was unlocked? How would that dialogue go? Well...

UNLOCKED ROUTE: "I'm sorry if this is a bad time. Is this a bad time? It feels like a bit of a bad time."

Option A: "No, of course not, what's wrong?"

Option B: "As long as it isn't another secret we don't know of."

Option C: "Yeah, it kinda is with all the drama going on right now."

I imagine this would be after a challenge that reveals things like movie night etc, so just go with me for this one. Of course, her answer and your answer would be different depending on the choice, but it would all lead to this set of dialogue no matter what:

"Listen, I just have something I need to get off my chest. It's been here for a while, and I guess I just didn't want to acknowledge it. At least, not until today. I like you, MC. As in I wanna couple up with you if we get the chance to."

"Are you serious? Why now? What's changed?"

"That challenge revealed a lot. At least, for me it did. You've always been there for me since day one. I've always found you attractive. I just didn't wanna seem pushy. I've tried hinting at my interest in you without seeming weird, but you never reacted. I couldn't tell if you'd even be interested in... Well, me? I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't. I..."

"Please, tell me, (F!LI name)."

"You just looked so infatuated. With him. The way you looked. How you smiled. It felt different to how you looked at everyone else. How you looked at me. Even when you two were bickering a little, I couldn't do that to you. I didn't want to look like I was taking advantage of the situation. I didn't want to get in your way. But, after today, after seeing how he treated you during casa amor? After his slimy hands touched those girls in there only to say how much he likes you, and only thought about you in those moments... It made me feel something else. The thought of you being dumped killed me. And I knew it was because I like you. But I didn't want to admit it until today. And if you need space, I fully understand. And if you don't feel the same, I get it. And I hope we can still be friends. But I need you to know before it's too late."

At this point, I feel like you'd have the option to accept, reject, or say you need some time. Accepting will fully unlock the route, rejecting will of course close it, but saying you need time will keep the option open until you only have the choice of saying yes or no during a later scene a few days later (about 9/12 episodes in the old format).

If you lock her route here, you'd notice a little change in dialogue until the end. How each word seems a little strained as if you can tell she's really holding back how she feels without it being pushy or obnoxious.And finally, I just wanted to add a little scene where she'd couple up with you. Before this, she'd ask if you'd wanna couple up. If you say yes, then she'll be the one who gets to couple up. If you say you're unsure, you'd get the choice. But if you don't, her route is locked again. And if you say no then ofc her route is locked and she'll be a little disappointed that you said you were interested, but she'll be a bit more understanding if your answer was "I need some time" during her confession scene. Because then it doesn't seem like you've led her on. ANYWAYS, coupling up scene.

COUPLING UP WITH HER: "I don't know how much of a surprise this will be. But I've been thinking about this a lot. And now that I know I can, there's no way I'm letting this opportunity go. I wanna couple up with this person because they make me feel as if I can be myself. All my insecurities and flaws feel like perfection with them. And I can't thank them enough for making me feel so... Happy. If I had known them longer, I'd even consider the word "loved." They've been with me from the start, and not only are they my best friend, but my ride or die. They've been there for me through thick and thin, and I wanna be there for them. So, that's why the person I wanna couple up with is MC."

And there we have it. Of course, I'd go more into detail but this post is SOOOOO long already. I hope you enjoyed and my fingers are really fucking stiff now, I've been typing for about 30 minutes, I'm freezing, and I'm tired. But overall, this was so worth it. Let me know your opinions too!

PERSONALITY —

BACKGROUND —

cerrus was born to eccentric performers, raised all over the world in their very own travelling circus. it was unconventional, but so magical for the young boy.

he became a performer before he could even walk, quickly developing his own skills, roles, and interests in each town they passed.

life on the road was as isolating as it was exciting; there were always pros and cons, but cerrus found it so much easier to love when he was so young.

the older he got, the more unconventional he felt, and the more trouble he faced from the kids in each neighbourhood he passed through that he tried to befriend.

at fourteen, cerrus experienced his first true feelings of hate for the lifestyle.

at this age, he developed his first crush, and while he had had to leave friends before, leaving somebody that he developed a much more special connection with was much harder.

unfortunately, this routine became his norm. each time cerrus met somebody who showed a real interest in him - something that was rare for the constantly picked on boy - he had to up and leave them before long.

he settled into an unhappy role in the circus until at twenty, he fell hard, and for somebody who reciprocated his feelings.

upon having to leave the town in which he found love, cerrus finally stood up and admitted to his parents that he could no longer live the nomadic lifestyle, and one that constantly had him labelled unpleasant things.

in his desperation to save his love, and due to his parents shock as cerrus had never voiced concerns before, the discussion turned into an enormous fight that ended with cerrus leaving on bad terms with his parents.

the fight was so ugly that cerrus developed an aversion for everything that reminded him of his old life; after not too long, this was what lost him his love.

saddened and in search of a life opposite to the one he had lived, cerrus found himself in search of the most mundane job in the most 'normal' place.

he moved into the city of new york, the closest city to him at the time, and he settled into what he tried to make the most mundane life possible - something that's proven hard, as it's as if cerrus is a magnet to those more peculiar, those like who he is deep down at his core.

WANTED CONNECTIONS —

ex love interest - the person that cerrus fell in love with at twenty years old; they eventually broke up as cerrus changed too much as he forced himself to be someone who he's not. i imagine they broke up with him, and he's still gutted about it. they met not too far from new york, but out of the city. any gender, similar age preferred, really open to plotting more together!

past audience - people who recognise cerrus from his time in the circus; they caught a show ( or maybe even multiple if they ever travelled themselves ) and they're shocked to see him acting as he is now. he likely pretended that he didn't know what they were talking about upon initially interacting.

oddballs - they could be friends, neighbours, roommates, enemies, anything! the only requirement is that they're a little odd, an unconventional person. cerrus tries so hard to live a 'normal' life, but he can't escape his true self - which is what i'm hoping they bring out of him more!

ex crush / flings from his circus days - cerrus travelled through their town with his family's circus aged fourteen to twenty, and either crushed on them, or had a fling with them before he had to leave town to go to his next destination. any gender, similar age required, open to plotting more together!

ex crush / flings / relationships in new york - cerrus hasn't been in any situationship or relationship especially serious, but he has dipped his toes into the dating pool in the city. it's hard as he's not being the most authentic version of himself, and searching for all of the wrong people, but maybe something interesting could have still come from it!

roommates - i don't imagine cerrus being able to afford his own place in manhattan ( can anyone ? ) so he's definitely got multiple roommates that he shares an apartment with. he's a relatively good person to live with, being considerate and caring to make good connections, but he is known to shut himself in his room for days on end when he's feeling blue.

friends - a big part of why he left his previous situation was to build connections he wouldn't have to leave. i picture cerrus having a group of close friends that he never takes for granted; they likely see his more authentic self more than others, and with them cerrus experiences true moments of happiness.

crush / love interest - similar to the friend connection, cerrus left the circus for a purpose, so it'd be super nice to see him romantically involved with somebody that he doesn't have to leave! unfortunately i think he looks for all of the wrong people, but it'd be super cool if he formed a connection with someone more like his true self ( an oddball, perhaps ) and if something happened real naturally.

customers - people who he consistently drives around, or delivers food to. maybe they don't get along, but he's the only uber driver who's always closest at the odd time that they need him, or maybe they've struck up a real friendship and he comes inside with their food delivery so that they can share meals together.

cerrus is also open to so much more, i'm happy to brainstorm or listen to any / all of your ideas !

I made a new Oc! I hope you all like him. He’s been sitting in my drafts for a while so I wanted to get his profile out. It’s still pretty rough and subject to change though. Anyway I present:

Maxwell “Max” Holt 🐺

Name: Maxwell Holt

Meaning: ‘Mack’s Stream’

Alias(es): Max, The Wolfman

Pronouns: He/Him

Age: 24

D.O.B: December 13th

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

Current Residence: A small but cozy bungalow. He lives in Downings, a small (fictional) town in Montana.

Occupation: Mechanic, maybe future Author?

Appearance Description: He is a young man who has fair skin, sky blue eyes, shaggy blonde hair down to his shoulders, with usually a bit of fuzz on his chin. he looks like a young James Hetfield

Hair Colour: Blonde

Notable Features: Wears glasses for reading. Quite a bit of body hair on his arms/legs/chest etc. He has a few ear piercings: mostly thin metal rings hanging from his earlobe. Jiggles his leg constantly. The cologne he wears unfortunately can’t really hide the smell of dog…

Personality: Friendly and enthusiastic, (although maybe not as much as he was when he was younger, before everything happened.) Kind and very loyal, manages to be quite intelligent with certain things and a himbo at the same time. Like he is sort of oblivious at times yknwim?

Sorta goofy too, likes to joke around and have fun! Stands somewhere between introvert and extrovert. He secretly has a darker side to him, though he speaks about it to no one, even those he trusts with knowledge of his lycanthropy. He’d rather ignore its existence altogether. His worst habit is definitely ignoring all his problems until they hopefully ‘go away.’

Rough Backstory

Tw: Death, Angst, sorta toxic friends/betrayal?

Max was born on a chilly December morning in Detroit, Michigan. He was the youngest of 3 brothers, and their working class status meant he tended to receive hand-me-downs a lot and depended a lot on his brother’s interests. His mother was a nurse and his father was a construction worker.

When Max was very young, his father got into a car accident and passed away from his injuries in the hospital. He was too young to remember much about his father at the time, but he did know his mother worked to the bone to provide for him and his brothers.

While he was an excitable kid, he was always the quietest of his brothers. He loved reading, generally fantasy and sci-fi books and always had the idea of writing his own stuff even from a young age. It didn’t take long for him to get involved in fandom in his teenage years, and he wrote for some time in online spaces. He also befriended some kids who he played d&d campaigns with for a good bit.

The brothers inherited their father’s music taste; classic rock and metal was the soundtrack to Max’s childhood and teenage years. He quickly became passionate about music and enjoyed playing drums the most. He ended up joining a metal band as well as a drummer.

He also got pretty good at taking apart cars and bikes, although he would nurture this talent more later on in life.

Max was 19 years old on the night when his life changed forever. He was travelling on a road-trip to go to a metal show with his friends and then girlfriend, having the time of his life. That night it was a full moon. He ended up separated from his friends, but he didn’t mind. He liked to stargaze. But then alone in the wilderness, he was attacked. All he remembered was it was huge and covered in fur, but he managed to escape with only a bite on his shoulder. He was rushed to a local hospital who assumed it was maybe a coyote or wolf, be he swore it was more than just a normal animal. Despite this, he tried his best to continue on as normal, both for himself and to not worry his friends and girlfriend. They insisted it was nothing, so he felt pressured to do so.

However Max started to experience changes he couldn’t explain. No matter how he tried to ignore it, it kept creeping up on him. Particularly the physical changes he was getting, he felt his sense of smell and hearing especially become very heightened.

The first transformation Max had he thought he just had a hangover. His memories were so fuzzy, he wasn’t sure why he was (he assumed he was) getting blackout drunk but it was the only explanation he could think of. The disappearances from last night on the news didn’t connect to him, surely they couldn’t be related anyway? He kept on ignoring the strange feelings he was getting as well.

Eventually this caught up to him and his friends and girlfriend discovered he was a werewolf who had been behind the killings. They struggled to fight him in his lycanthrope transformation and eventually defeated him, leaving him for dead. They believed they killed and buried him, but he was actually still alive. He woke up confused and very disoriented, only remembering some time afterwards what had actually happened to him. But by then it was too late.

For maybe a year and a half he spent in a limbo, terrified of himself and of his transformations. Every full moon he would have to find a place to chain himself up to prevent himself from getting out of control again. His previous skills in fixing up cars and motorcycles became useful and he got a lot better at it, using them to get himself around. He had a hard time holding down a job or really sustaining any sort of stable lifestyle.

This was until he met Jack Silver, an older lycanthrope. The older man sort of took Max under his wing and taught him not to be so afraid anymore. It was the fear that made it worse, instead he had to accept it. Once he learned to do that, Max began to heal again. At some point he started working as a mechanic in Montana and has kept it up for a few years. He’s pretty good at it, and the income allowed him to settle down in a small trailer and support himself.

It’s been difficult for Max to drag himself out of the dark place he’d been in, but he’s been working toward essentially restarting his life. Of course, despite this he is still a lycanthrope at the end of the day. He’s still got blood on his hands. And Max and found himself becoming far more comfortable with that fact. Accepting it. So now and again there are times when certain people still go missing on the news…

Fun Facts

His favourite book (series) is Lord Of The Rings

His favourite film is a difficult choice between Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and Terminator 1

His favourite bands are Metallica, Dio, KISS, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne

His favourite colours are blue, red and yellow

His favourite food is pizza (bacon and pepperoni)

His favourite drink is beer

Due to his Lycanthropy he’s gained a few… quirks even in human form. For one thing the very heightened sense of smell, and to a lesser extent hearing. Next is the extra body hair, which only grows back if he tries to get rid of it. His nails get long/sharp quickly if he doesn’t stay on top of them. He has sharp little canines too.

Max always loved dogs, but now he sort of has an innate connection with them. It’s the same with wolves too, although there aren’t many about in the wild anymore. He’s found himself becoming quite passionate about wildlife conservation now as he’s learned this. It helps that he lives closer to nature now.

He absolutely was/is a part of fandom and writes fanfics of his own. Mostly Star Wars because Luke Skywalker is like a self-insert for him lmao (blonde hair, blue eyes?)

Max now has his own book on the go, although it’s more of a collection of manuscripts so far. He has a lot of other things to occupy his mind, but he definitely still has his times where he’s obsessed with his writing and can be seen at his laptop focusing hard.

He’s lived in the city for most of his life as a child and teenager, but he actually prefers being close to nature now. He likes being able to see the stars better with less light pollution, and it’s just a lot safer for everyone with his werewolf transformations and all that.

Speaking of, he can control his werewolf form and transformations more now, and doesn’t suffer from memory issues anymore. Now he can actually transform and go back to being human at will, but the full moon still forces him to do so regardless. It can still be difficult to control his wild impulses at times though. That’s when he goes into the forest and just lets loose. It is always a pain the next day of course.

Max’s ‘victims’ are typically not good people, and generally men. It’s sort of been hard to admit to himself that there’s a certain hunger he has as a Werewolf that only killing can satisfy, so he chooses those that would probably be better off dead in his eyes.

He still hasn’t dared to contact his family or friends from his ‘past life’ so it’s an uncomfortable subject.

Max can play a bit of guitar too but he’s better at the drums by far.

His current vehicle is a motorcycle he picked up and fixed himself. He’s pretty proud of it! It’s definitely his baby lmao.

I literally heard Bark At The Moon and based his whole character concept off of that LMAO

He deserves the best this is a FACT

(Taglist: @rottent33th, @slaasherslut, @the-pinstriped-hood)

Kwon Eunbi (Solo) - Kinky

Full Name: Kwon Eunbi Stage Name: Kwon Eunbi Group: Solo DOB: 27.9.1995 Blood Type: A MBTI: ENFP Sun Sign: Libra Chinese Sign: Wood Pig Life Path Number: 6

Spread / Question: Kinky Deck(s): Dark Wood Tarot + Tarot of Casanova

Position - 3 of Swords

While at first sight the 3 of Swords might seem a bit unfortunate, in this context it’s not at all bad. Eunbi might have been through some rough times when it comes to relationships but those experiences made her more self-aware and she learned valuable lessons about her feelings. She might still be cautious in a relationship, keeping some healthy boundaries but now she knows how she wants her relationships to look and what types feel toxic to her. She’s not very likely to let things slide, no matter how much she’s in love as she’s no longer blinded by the rose coloured glasses. Now when she’s in a relationship, her common sense and logic are in it, too and she’s not relying solely on the first impression and she can moderate her responses. Eunbi is likely to be a sharp partner in the relationship, the type of a woman you don’t want to piss off. Same as the spider, Eunbi can sense even the slightest vibration of the relationship net and she can easily detect any lie or false. She’s likely to keep her home pampered, though, her little love nest.

Libido - 10 of Pentacles, Knight of Cups, 3 of Pentacles

While Eunbi is not blinded by love, she can become quite a seducer herself. She’s very well attuned with her sexuality and the cards even suggest she’s no stranger to using it in commercial activities (sex sells after all). She’s not shy about expressing her needs and wants to her lover, she’s likely to communicate her fantasies pretty openly and sometimes with even shocking details. She might actually be curious or even keen to try one-night-stand or maybe she even has an experience with it. It’s likely for Eunbi to particularly enjoy being given oral and her chest is also very likely her erogenous zone. She’s not really big on classic courting rituals as those seem slow and tedious to her.

Turn On - 4 of Wands

Eunbi might actually feel attracted to those mysterious or even outcast personalities. Not exactly dangerous types but those who live for their own sake and don’t try to stand out. A person who is confident and doesn’t need public approval to build their self-esteem. Eunbi is more likely to seek a long-term partner for dating, someone who’s serious about the relationship. They are probably not very obvious about their feelings, they don’t put their feelings on display and merely leave hints for Eunbi to decipher. It adds to their mysterious aura and attracts Eunbi even more.

Kink - 4 of Pentacles, 6 of Pentacles

Lol! This is really funny but it looks like Eunbi might have a thing for stealing lovers. She might find someone even more attractive when they are already taken. If she’s already in a relationship with someone, she might actually suggest playing scenarios where her lover goes to a bar and starts flirting with someone else, allowing Eunbi to come and steal them. One more option for her kink is voyeurism. She might be quite intrigued by watching her lover when they masturbate or when they take a shower. Or taken from the other side perspective, she might like to be watched by her lover when she’s taking a bath, teasing them and telling them how she’s getting all warmed up and soft in the water.

Dirty Secret - 6 of Cups, 5 of Swords, 10 of Cups

Oh dear! Dirty minded Eunbi. Lol. Okay, I can see the cards suggest she might actually prefer lovers who are younger than her. And she might like to play with fire there, like they might sometimes be freshly out of their minor age. All with consent. Eunbi might have a thing for controversy in general so if she thinks that someone is going to cause people to raise their eyebrows, she might consider them irresistible. She’s likely to instruct her lover a lot because she’s genuinely seeking her release and her partner better be able to deliver it to her or they might not remain in the position of her lover for long.

I would need someone to tell me whether I'm at least anywhere near accurate here as I don't really know or follow Kwon Eunbi.

I hope I haven't offended anyone, for some reason I'm always more worried about a negative reaction to my female tarot readings than the male ones. 😊

Hi! Please ignore this if you're not taking asks about the characters anymore! I need to know... how good is their fashion sense and what kind of clothes do they wear more often? more importantly, who would let my jordan dress them up for fun? xD thank you for your time!

Hi anon, we always accept new questions ^^ We thought that to make it a bit more fun... Why don't we show you some proposals of clothes that we would put on the characters? Unfortunately we don't have all the time to make all the costumes that we would put on them but here are our proposals.

Joe: She's definitely the most stylish, even though she's been in uniform for a long time. She'd be willing to be dressed by Jordan, but more importantly, she'd be eager to dress Jordan. You will never see her in tracksuits or very casual clothes. She likes very feminine clothes in soft colours. She adapts well to the circumstances, going from a more romantic style to a very classic and elegant one or a fun and very risky one.

Hasiel: He looks old-fashioned and out of step with the times, what would best define his style is dark academia or what would be understood in this century as dark academia. Full of jumpers, classic trousers and shirts. He would probably accept Jordan's choice of clothes, but if he strayed too far from his own tastes, he would probably complain.

Arael: She likes pastel colours, straight figures and trousers rather than skirts or dresses. All her clothes are full of colour and look very comfortable. Perhaps a bit girlish for some, but Arael is not pressured by standards. She would definitely let Jordan dress her. It would be a new experience and she loves to experience new sensations.

Kyeran: His style is a mix of bohemian with ethnic touches. A lot of his clothes are recycled or second-hand, although he never intended to have a deliberately vintage aesthetic. He wears things until they break and doesn't see himself as closed to gender standards either, so you might see him in a skirt or other feminine pieces. He would also let Jordan dress him and treasure the clothes they give him.

Maske: Their aesthetic is very much defined within darkware. They don't wear colours outside of black, grey and dark blue except for gold when wearing formal wear or in spotlights and the like. They wear a lot of clothes on top of each other, creating a lot of layers. Although they usually only wear tracksuits, they might have quite interesting taste if they weren't so afraid to show their bodies. Jordan could convince them to try something on, but probably not to buy it.

Akane: She doesn't think too much about her appearance, her everyday clothes are actually work clothes, as she doesn't do much else at some point her casual clothes were completely replaced by overalls and canvas clothes. As she loves sports, she has a lot of sports equipment. Although, maybe Jordan could convince her to wear something more interesting… She loves asymmetrical T-shirts, green, red and orange and she doesn't dislike skirts, but she prefers trouser skirts. She would accept to be dressed by Jordan, but with some things, she would die of embarrassment.

Pin: He wears oversize clothes, very youthful and with references to popular culture. It is quite clear that his favourite colour is red. All his clothes are very comfortable. On the other hand, Rubi has more serious and simpler clothes. He always says she would choose more daring things but with Pin's body they don't suit him. Pin would love to be dressed by Jordan and would be very curious to know what they would choose for him.

Zihel: Zihel's clothing straddles the line between grunge and military aesthetics, though none of it was premeditated. Almost all of his current clothes are Hasiel's clothes in a state of extreme disrepair. Partly intentional, partly through neglect. The formal wear was chosen by Valefar so that he doesn't make a fool of himself. Zihel has no problem trying on clothes Jordan tells him to, though if he's having a bad day he'd probably refuse just because he's in a bad mood.

Ariel: Any facet of rock suits Ariel and he has probably worn it at one time or another. He likes aggressive, dramatic clothes that are very striking and allow him to show off. If he's not the centre of attention, there's something he's not doing right. We felt like adding an alternative version. Although we have already warned you that Ariel wouldn't have been very happy being an angel… He would love to play dress-up with Jordan, especially if it would make Jordan look naked. He'd probably try to turn it into a sex game.

Well, that's about it. What did you think? is there a look that you liked the most?

Pokemon: Shiny vs. Default, 0058-0059

Alright, today we’re tackling a favourite of many, Growlithe and Arcanine.

I’ll be honest, I’m not as wild about this line as others. Growlithe really suffered from the Stone Evolutions Don’t Get New Moves rule from Gen I-VII. No Flamethrower until Lv.50 in the first few generations? Fixing that in Gen V but making its more desirable physical moves like Flare Blitz and Outrage take until the mid 40s? Thank fuck for Gen VIII upending that and massively buffing Arcanine as a result, I finally got to use one without it dying in the late 30s when its stats fall off too much for it to last.

Meanwhile Vulpix gets everything it needs by the mid 30s.

Griping aside, here’s Growlithe itself.

I don’t dislike the yellow, but that mucus-green colour is back, and looking as awful as ever. Default wins.

Now, Hisuian Growlithe’s turn.

That’s better. The green tinge is gone from its muzzle, and the floof on the head and tail stay the same as the default. That said, I still find myself preferring the default, as the red-orange looks great. No shade, I wouldn’t say no to the shiny, but I overall say that default wins.

Next up, Arcanine.

Unfortunately, this is the same as the base form. The yellow’s decent, but the tinge of green in the floof just looks terrible. Default wins.

Finally, Hisuian Arcanine.

Once again, the Hisuian form is a massive improvement via removing the green from the equation. I also think the yellow works even better, thanks to the contrast with the dark grey mane and smoky bits. Overall I’m going to call this one a draw.

Default: 50 Shiny: 24 Draw: 11

Heeeello! I hope you had a great day! How are you?

Can I ask for a mash up?

Physically: 5 ft, curvy, pale, orange hair (it’s dyed ;;), hair almost to cover the entire chest area, I use lots of coral, orange, red in the eye makeup, but my clothes are mostly black, warm coloured patterns and pastel colours, afab (she/they it’s ok to use as pronouns!)

Mentally: resilient, warm around kids, I don’t have a specific way to demonstrate love, cause I like to do a little bit of all! Introverted but when I’m comfortable I talk A LOT and maybe I can be a little bit too touchy (like touching the other people hair, face, stuff like that) but not in holding hands/hug kinda way; i like to take care of others but I also love my personal space, won’t let anything turn me down again!!!

Likes & dislikes: love studying, cute things, drinking chocolate milk :B, matcha, ghosts histories! Hate bugs, onions, dishonesty, and when people take advantage of others!

Thanks so much for even reading this!

Have a wonderful week, drink water, have a nice sleep, pet a cat/dog/cute animal, and stay safe!

Eventide

I match you with Lady Tamayo! Ft. Yushiro

•Rip Yushiro

•Lady Tamayo probably took a liking to you from your resilience

•Like her, you are not quick to back down and you keep persevering

•This encourages her to put her goal of killing Muzan to fruition

•She probably likes to assign you to entertain the children she heals to put their minds at ease

•Lady Tamayo is really motherly towards both Yushiro and you and though she has no preference, Yushiro takes it as a personal competition to make her like him more

•That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about you in any way

•See, Yushiro is such a big tsundere Sanemi and Obanai could never

•But at times when you’re feeling the blues, he brings you tea and sits with you in what he hopes is comfortable silence

•They both don’t mind you being introverted since they’d rather keep to themselves rather than being out in the open

•But they also feel proud of themselves for being people you can open up to and are more comfortable to talk to

•Lady Tamayo doesn’t mind your little acts of affection, she’s actually quite affectionate! But she doesn’t show it a lot

•Yushiro, on the other hand, will straight up pass out if you run your fingers through his hair

•Tamayo likes to have you as assistant when she’s researching medicines, and she will teach you everything she knows. She wants you to be able to keep treating people in case anything happens to her cries in manga reader

•Your love for taking care of others automatically makes you a favorite of her patients and she often assigns you to comfort them, if not to heal them

•Basically, your orange hair is like a vibrant flag

•If ever you accidentally get lost among the crowds of the cities they sometimes enter, they know to look for someone with bright orange hair, it’s very useful

•Lady Tamayo often helps you with your make-up and gives you tips on how to coordinate the colors. She really loves your style

•Never let Yushiro do your make-up(not that he would). He’s better at holding a paintbrush

•Whenever Lady Tamayo finds a kimono, yukata or haori that is in one of the colors that you love, she buys it for you much to Yushiro’s dismay

•You definitely have a collection of cute hair sticks from Tamayo

•And during the times the three of you take a break from your hectic lifestyle, they makes sure to brew you matcha tea

•Your love for studying also comes in handy as, like i’ve mentioned, Lady Tamayo likes to coach you in the art of medicine so if you’re willing to learn it makes the job easier

•At times, Tamayo has a hard time saying no to people and this might cause some idiots to take advantage of her kindness

•So you and Yushiro being there to defend her is appreciated with much love

•Yushiro tries to scare you by telling you scary stories, unfortunately for him you’re into that..

while shopping in my local ASDA during early September, i saw one of the RH dolls i've been hoping to get for a long time but have never seen in the UK. so of course i lost it and bought her immediately because i have a little extra money at the start of the semester. i'm glad i did, though, because i haven't seen her in ASDA since (but i've also not been in a toy shop recently, so for all i know they're selling her in regular toy shops now).

anyway!

right out the box, she's very pretty. i know some people disliked that her hair colour doesn't match the colour from the show, but i honestly really like how she looks. the colour blend of her hair is very pretty to me.

she's got some stains on her thighs from her clothing, but that's it for any stains or defects. her clothes are made really nicely, and it's so refreshing to see an RH doll with extra clothes again. changing their little outfits out the box is one of my favourite parts of unboxing them.

no comments for her first outfit really, i just think it's super cute. the strap on her shoulder is adjustable, so you can have her shirt tighter or looser as you'd like, and i am unsurprisingly in love with her stompy, spiky boots.

second outfit is very sweet - love the jacket in particular, and the structure of the dress is more interesting than i thought it would be. it suffers the same issues every RH dress and skirt does, where getting it over her hips is hell, but it's otherwise very nice.

love this outfit, and as i stated many moons ago i IMMEDIATELY stole the trousers for Jewel. they've actually got a really nice kind of rainbow sheen to them, too! the shirt doesn't actually fasten at the back, sadly, so i'm going to need to get some tiny, tiny bits of velcro to fix that.

and honestly, this last outfit is adorable. the skirt was super tight, and the sleeves have unfortunately wrinkled a little as i tried to get them up her arms. they have a really nice lining, though - in fact, all the little faux leather pieces do. it makes putting the clothes on easier, and i think might help stop stains from occurring, but that's just me guessing.

overall? love her!

The Wicked + The Divine: The Faust Act

Read this one last night. It's one of the ones I picked up from the library a few weeks ago. I'm trying to keep an open mind with regards to storylines/characters (i.e.: is it something I'd consider on the too weird side, like Saga or Ask For Mercy) - which mostly means picking up anything/everything that's not like the 10th volume of something (*cough* like the volume of Saga that the library has lol *cough*) and avoiding looking at it too much beforehand or reading the blurb because that may mean fighting my initial reaction of "urgh monsters/weird stuff no no no this is too weird" - tbf, a lot of the superhero stuff also leans into the 'too weird' side for me, and I'm doing mostly okay with that so I'm trying not to miss stuff I'd otherwise enjoy. But once that reaction kicks in, it's hard to stop it / go against it, despite the fact it's become obvious over the last year that I don't actually know what's too weird for me, really xd

So, yeah, basically I'm just grabbing everything that isn't Marvel off the shelf (they don't have a lot of DC, and I've read most of what they do have and/or just not interested in the rest - the Marvel stuff mostly falls afoul of the 'I vaguely know what this involves and it's too weird for me' xd) and chucking it at the librarians to get it checked out asap before I have time to change my mind xd.

ANYway. This one is about some gods who get reincarnated every 90 years or something and then have like 2 years to live before dying.

I read a review that said it's basically a superhero book, which I think I can see (though not yet sure I agree), even though they didn't do any superhero-ing (or, really, villain-ing) in this book.

I started off not sure about it, then really liked it, then finished it by not being sure about it again lol. I really liked the character of Luci (Lucifer). I think I'm a bit at a disadvantage reading this, as I'm very much not familiar with a lot of myth, and this obviously leans heavily on it. Like, I'm very familiar with Lucifer / Christian myth. Passingly familiar with Odin and Norse mythology. Vaguely familiar-ish sort of with Greek/Roman. And pretty much know nothing at all about any other myths. And I took a whole class on mythology in college! Although to be fair to me, that was 1 semester, mostly focussed on Greek/Roman, and it was also like 15 years ago lololol.

But even if I finished reading it feeling unsure about it, I still want to find out what happens next - so I guess they did their job lol. There are a few more volumes in the story - unfortunately, none of my libraries have them, so I'll have to wait until I feel like buying a book I'm not certain I'm into. But I don't dislike it. Like, if someone bought it for me for my birthday/Christmas, I'd be pleased.

The art and colours are gorgeous. I mean, look at this:

I also liked that it was a simpler comic to read. None of the headache-inducing, inscrutable fight scene panels like in some of the Batman-related books I've read. But it's still complex. I definitely do want to read it again and again, because I suspect there's layers and things I've missed in just one read.

Every so often, there was a page like this:

And it changed depending on what was happening in the story. I thought that was really cool lol. To be honest, the first time I noticed that that page was doing that, I immediately thought, "I have to buy a physical copy of this for myself," because it makes me want to just...study it (and the story) like a bug xd.

Sadly, I am, again, not well-versed in myths, so for the most part I don't actually know which symbols go with which gods, but it's fun that this book has made me interested in finding out - and in trying to see if knowing more gives me any clues about them / the story generally xd.

It just occurred to me that I also know nothing about Faust - know the name but never read or heard anything of the story - so I probably missed something there, too xd.

The very first page of the comic included a quote from Doctor Faustus, which I liked a lot and made me put that on my reading list:

Ah, Faustus, Now hast thou but one bare hour to live, And then thou must be damn'd perpetually! Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of Heaven, That time may cease, and midnight never come

Hi hi! I hope you're doing well!

I'm the anon who asked about designing an outfit for you, and I'm back with questions! I hope you don't mind, I took the list of questions you'd already put together and added to it, I hope that's okay! With that being said, here are the questions, hopefully the formatting isn't too terrible:

What are your favourite colours? Favourite colour combination?

What are your least favourite colours? Least favourite colour combination?

(Optional) What's your favourite pattern?

(Optional) What's your least favourite pattern?

(Optional) What's your favourite material(s)?

What's the style/styles that you tend to lean towards or love the aesthetic of? For example, cottagecore, goth, elegant, academia etc.

(Optional) Do you have any specific accessories that you always wear or like the look of? Please describe it/them.

What's currently your favourite outfit?

(Optional) What's something you've always wanted to wear but never had the opportunity to?

What's your favourite outfit/aesthetic for fancy occasions?

What's something you'd never wear?

Do you have any special requests or things you specifically want included?

Who's your genshin date, favourite genshin character, or genshin friend crush?

*TREMBLING CHIN* that for me? I still can't believe 😩💗 it is honestly so sweet I feel spoiled rotten

My least favourite colour must be orange. I'm talking this orange orange type of shade, pastels or more peachy ones are cute 💗

My favourite colours are pastels with pink and powder/baby pink shades as the ones I can wear all the time. Burgundy colours or magenta (darker pinks or purples) are also a big yes. People tend to compliment me a lot when I wear baby blue as well.

I don't dislike any patterns. I like lace, some sparkly glitter/sequins. In general I tend to gravitate towards clothes that have some cute pattern on it like cartooney characters or tiny hearts, stars, animals or some cute little buttons, ribbons, tassels, see-through fabric, frills, etc. All my outfits must have some "cute accent" otherwise I feel unhappy.

I like different aesthetic and tend to experiment a lot but like in general you could say my wardrobe consists of cute/adorable, a bit more elegant but still with some cute accents to make it look less boring, or sporty/casual. I work out a lot and I have some pretty sport bras, shorts/leggings I often wear out in summer paired with regular clothes.

I always wear platform shoes. Even my trainers have 10 cm platforms xD

I like some fancy accessories like a belt with a heart buckle or small heart earrings, scrunchie on my wrist that matches the colour palette I'm wearing.

My favourite outfit now? I bought myself a dress that looks like a night gown with white ribbons and it is all black and there is also white lace. I styled it with some plain top underneath and my platform shoes. Unfortunately it is kind of too sexy to wear it to work so I haven't had the opportunity to wear it yet 😭💗 plus it is so cold now in Poland.

For everyday thing I like some baggy oversized jeans that are low on my hips and some tank top, crop top. Again, not for work xD

As for my requests I'd definitely ask for platform shoes! The rest doesn't matter I'd gladly wear different things. I keep buying different stuff as a new outfit always makes me feel more confident.

Oh god 😩 my genshin date 😭😭😭 whom do I choose nxnuashsnhkzhbjsudbdksjsh

Fine, I want to go with Zhongli ❤��😌 daddy is always number one in my heart.

Also, please don't rush it! Take your time! I know how much it takes to draw an outfit like that so please, prioritise yourself first 💗🙏

Thank you again!

AU 12 trope 2 prompt 2

Babysitter!au, enemies to lovers, “fuck. fuck fuck fuck fuck this shit. Fuck.”

i don't think this is quite enemies to lovers but i tried

Izumi always got a little too excited whenever Zuko wouldn’t be home, because it meant he’d have to call her babysitter. And Izumi loved her babysitter.

Zuko didn’t.

(And it absolutely wasn’t because he was jealous that his daughter seemed to like this guy better than him, Mai, it wasn’t.

...Okay maybe a little, but come on, could you blame him? Whenever he had to part from his daughter she practically threw a party.)

But, he had a last minute work function that was apparently mandatory, and Sokka was basically his only choice whenever he had to be away because all of his friends worked with him.

And, as much as Zuko disliked Sokka, he still tried to be polite and always made sure the house was at least tidy when he was coming over. Unfortunately, when Zuko said the function was last minute he really meant last minute, as in i-was-going-to-watch-spiderman-with-my-kid-until-my-boss-called-to-tell-me-that-i-have-to-be-there-in-an-hour last minute. Izumi had even been upset when she’d heard, only managing a smile when he told her Sokka would watch spiderman with her instead.

So, Zuko was still trying to wash the dishes, get dressed, and put something on for dinner all at the same time when there was a knock at the door and he jumped in surprise, dropping the plate he’d been scrubbing back in the sink and splashing soapy water all over the shirt he’d just put on. And the bench. And the floor. Which of course he slipped on and barely managed to catch himself on the counter, where he promptly slammed his hip bone into it

“Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck this shit. Fuck.” He cursed, pressing a still-wet hand to his hip and feeling warm water soak through the material of his jeans, his hair coming out of the bun he’d carefully tied it into and falling around his face. The ends were damp, small foamy bubbles hanging on and smearing against his cheek uncomfortably. He could hear the faint hiss of bubbles popping in his ear.

Agni Zuko hated his life.

Distantly he heard Izumi letting Sokka in, the 11 year old traitorously admitting that “dad’s kinda stressed right now” but he didn’t really register it as he stubbornly swallowed back his tears of frustration and pain, finding himself wishing (not for the first time) that he wasn’t an angry crier.

He dropped his head onto the counter, wincing when his hair instantly soaked up any surrounding water and heaved a deep sigh, suddenly exhausted.

“Hey- woah, Zuko, you okay?”

Zuko didn’t even bother looking up, his hand still pressed to his hip despite the pain having faded to a dull throb. “I hate everything.” He mumbled, not sure whether to smile or scowl at the answering laugh.

“Do you need a hand?”

In an absolutely mortifying turn of events, the simple question had Zuko bursting into tears.

Agni, when was the last time someone genuinely offered to help him? Azula only ever seemed to come over to snark at him and judge his organization system, and Mai and Ty Lee had been busy planning their wedding so he didn’t blame them for not visiting.

“Hey, hey it’s okay.” Sokka’s voice was suddenly closer, warm and gentle, softening a bit when he asked Izumi to grab a towel for him, and maybe a fancy shirt.

But Sokka- Sokka was always helping.

Sure, Zuko kind of paid him to. But he paid him to make sure his daughter didn’t die or get kidnapped- not for washing the dishes when Zuko forgot to, or for helping Izumi change the sheets on her bed when she spilled water on them, or even for helping her put together a school project.

It had infuriated Zuko at first, feeling like Sokka thought he wasn’t capable of doing it himself, like it was some kind of passive aggressive way of saying “you’re a bad dad”. But after stumbling home one night, exhausted and cranky and hungry, and finding a plate of food that Sokka had made for him sitting on the bench, still warm like he’d made it in time for Zuko to get home, he’d had to admit that maybe Sokka wasn’t awful.

And now he was there, gently pulling Zuko into his chest and wiping the counter down with his other hand, and then asking Izumi something when she passed him a shirt.

“Hey Zuko? You grab this and go put it on okay?”

Zuko, feeling mortified and stressed, just took the shirt and left, peeling the wet one off once he was in the safety of his bedroom. Beneath the rustling of fabric and whispered curse, he could hear the clinking of dishes, water sloshing and dripping followed by the bright laugh of his daughter.

By the time he made it back out, shirt tucked into his almost-dry pants and hair a lot neater, the dishes were washed and put away, and Izumi was sitting at the bench, kicking her legs and chattering away about her science class while Sokka grated cheese - likely for the pasta Zuko had left on the stove.

Once they saw he was okay, and Zuko had awkwardly explained he’d just been overwhelmed, the two of them had practically shoved him out the door with promises to leave him some pasta for when he got home.

Several hours of boring small talk (and snide comments shared between him, Mai and Toph), Zuko finally crept back through the front door, tired and hungry because none of the food served at the function had looked edible. Other than the tv, the only light was in the kitchen, greeting him with a warm glow as he gently placed his keys down on the bench.

Sokka was curled up on the couch still when Zuko got there, saying something about pasta in the microwave and laughing when Zuko cringed at how loud the buttons sounded in the post-midnight quiet.

They sat next to each other in companionable silence, spiderman: into the spiderverse still in the process of wrapping up when Sokka shuffled a little closer.

"How was the work thing?"

Zuko looked up in surprise, fork paused part way to his mouth. "Uh- boring, mostly. Other than when my friend Toph tripped this jerk out of the door and pulled the blind card to get out of trouble."

Sokka snorted, shooting Zuko an amused look before turning back to the screen, the colours reflecting in his eyes and over his skin. Zuko was struck with the sudden realisation that Sokka was actually kind of beautiful.

Carefully, he turned his gaze back to his pasta, swallowing down the sudden unexpected yearning that filled him. It was almost jarring to go from hating someone, to kind of tolerating them because they were kind, to realising that they were beautiful and smiled nice and were willing to hug you just because you were crying over spilled dish water.

"Hey, uh, Zuko?"

Zuko looked up, raising an eyebrow at Sokka who was for some reason avoiding eye contact. Which, actually, was fair because Zuko fucking hated eye contact anyway.

"If this is totally out of line you can tell me to piss off but, uh, I was wondering if you'd maybe want to get lunch with me? Whenever you're free next. You can bring Izumi, obviously." Sokka glanced at him for a second before looking away again, clearly nervous. Zuko's heart tripped, and he realised he was just sitting there without answering.

"I-" yknow what? Fuck it. "Yeah, sure. I'd like that."

#yet another weak ending from yours truly #my writing #sorry it took so long to get to this i was struggling with how to end it before i just decided fuck it #zukka #zukka fic #zuko #sokka #izumi #babysitter au

what pets do you think the VDL boys would have in a modern setting? and what do u think the pets’ names would be? also i love you *kisses you on the cheek*

*swoons* I love you too anon <3

Arthur

Arthur is 100% a dog person. I could definitely see him volunteering at animal shelters and dog pounds at the weekend too.

It was when Arthur was helping at the dog pound, he saw a timid border collie. It took a while for the dog to start trusting Arthur but soon they became best friends and Arthur adopted her.

I think Arthur would give his dog a common but very cute name, like Maggie, Daisy or Bailey.

Dutch

Dutch wanted to get a pet but he was always unsure of what to get. Thankfully, Trelawny suggested the perfect pet for Dutch.

Dutch loves his pet parrot. He loves it when the parrot sits on his shoulder and watches the world go by. The best thing about having a pet parrot is that it can talk. Now whenever Dutch goes on a rant or says a speech, the parrot squawks "I have faith” or “nice plan”.

After going through a series of names, Dutch settled on naming his parrot after a historical figure. For a while he thought about calling him Caesar but in the end, he went with Shakespeare.

John

John adores his pet. He always wants to bring his pet with him everywhere but he knows that’s a bad idea. He did it once but he nearly dropped the bowl of water which would’ve been a disaster.

John has a pet goldfish that he loves dearly. He doesn’t have to do too much to look after it which makes it the perfect pet for John.

Unfortunately John isn’t that creative when it came to picking a name for his goldfish. Nevertheless, he chose a strong, caring and overall immaculate name... yes, John calls the goldfish John.

To stop any confusion, a lot of people call the goldfish Johnathon.

Charles

Charles was only going to get a simple, small pet. Nothing too extreme. When he saw the little guinea pigs in the pet store, he knew he had to buy one

...but he couldn’t just buy one. Guinea pigs are known for getting very lonely if they don’t have a companion so Charles had to buy 2... but he couldn’t pick out which 2 he wanted so he ended up buying the 5 guinea pigs they had in the store.

To make life easier, Charles decided to name them all after trees. So now Charles lives with Oak, Maple, Ash, Birch and Elm.

Bill

Bill loves his two pet mice. He doesn’t understand why some people don’t like mice, they’re surprisingly cute. Bill even made them little hats and coats.

He tried to train them to do tricks but they got too preoccupied sniffing and climbing things to actually try and do the tricks.

Bill’s a bit embarrassed when he tells you the names of his mice. He mumbles as he holds them up “This one’s called Sprinkles and this is Mr Fluffles”.

Javier

Javier knew exactly what kind of dog he wanted to buy. Javier wanted to find the biggest, fluffiest dog possible. It was his ultimate dream.

Finally, Javier bought a Samoyed dog, which is very fluffy and bright white in colour. Javier’s favourite thing to do is take naps with his dog because of how comfy he is. The dog’s kinda like a living blanket.

Javier named his dog Rio and bought about 4 different dog collars, a dog bed, 2 food bowls and a bow that all have Rio written on them.

Micah

Micah isn’t an animal person. He hates dogs, fish are useless and he dislikes all rodents. Animals are not his thing... until one day, Micah found a cat. They stared at each other for a moment and in that moment, Micah felt the cat look deep into his soul.

From that day on, Micah brings the cat everywhere with him. It’s his best friend and Micah truly feels like the cat understands him.

But Micah won’t give the cat a name because then it’ll be obvious he’s gotten attached to the creature. Instead Micah simply refers to it as ‘the cat’.

Sean

Sean doesn’t understand why people spend so much money on buying a pet. All he did to get his pet was go outside and dig around in some dirt.

Sean was very proud of his pet earthworm. He named him Tim and carried him around to show everyone.

Everything was going fine until about 2 hours later, when Sean lost him. He asked Jack to draw some missing posters but unfortunately Tim was never found. Sean still has hope though and believes Tim ran off to Canada to start a family.

#thank u for the kiss anon #it has made my day #also if anyone sees an earthworm called Tim pls let me know #headcanons #writings #rdr2 #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #john marston #bill williamson #micah bell #javier escuella #sean macguire

swipe left! smau - ♡︎the wedding

suna rintarou x y/n l/n

masterlist

27 // 28 // 29

a/n: super long writing, take a drink and have a seat☺️

(for the people on the taglist, all chapters are already up, use the masterlist or next button to find the new chapters)

“y/n. y/n. Y/N DROP THE BET DROP THE BET YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY ME ILL PAY YOU OH MY,” tendou screeched into his microphone. you just explained how you ended up in this situation where you’re going to a wedding as suna’s plus one to shiratorizawa and everyone, more like just tendou was in a sort of panic state.

“tendou-san, sweetie, CHILL IM JUST ACCOMPANYING HIM,” you screech back. you were currently at a hotel near the wedding venue getting ready for the wedding that was sort of last minute having it just 2 days after suna asked. while getting ready you decided to call the shiratorizawa squad but it went downhill quickly with tendou’s undying dislike for suna.

“accompanying him, what does he also need to be accompanied when he goes to the bathroom?” you could feel the aura of tendou rolling his eyes through the phone. despite his saltiness you couldn’t help but laugh a bit.

“tendou-senpai! why are you freaking out so much? it’s not like y/n-senpai ever falls for anyone, nothing will happen right?” goshiki tried to calm down the fuming red head. tendou wasn’t actually angry he just likes to provoke a bit. you on the other hand, would rather die than admit how you feel for suna.

“pft, yea,” you replied.

“oi y/n you didn’t say anything about you and suna sharing a whole ass couple hotel room,” semi said. you and suna were given a hotel room to share, you were sort of shocked but the suna’s seemed to be richer than expected and the wedding must’ve been a big thing.

“hoi there’s two beds it’s just like a sleepover sem-chan.”

“a wedding, y/n are you wearing a wedding gown?” ushijima asked confused on the situation. “BWHAHAHA SHE WOULD THO,” tendou shouted. “y/n would wear the maid outfit tendou got her, she has no morale,” shirabu coldly said.

“when y/n and i were younger she wore crocs to one of the weddings we went to,” semi brought up. “i did and USHIJIMA-SENPAI, I DONT HAVE ANYTHING ON RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN PICK THE COLOUR OF THE DRESS IM GOING TO WEAR” you excitedly spoke.

“y/n are you naked-“ “hey y/n you said suna would provide a dress, don’t forget that,” semi cuts ushijima off but reminded, what would you do without him. and you were actually wearing a temporary dress just waiting for suna to come back with the dress you’re meant to wear.

“put the circumstances aside, i would say you should wear a green dress, the colour of my crops at home.”

you were holding in your laugh as there was silence as ushijima continued “you can camouflage yourself in the crops.”

“ushijima-senpai, i’ll keep that in mind thank you so much.”

after awhile you heard knocks at the door and the familiar voice of suna spoke “y/n, may i come inside?”

“sHIT I THINK SUNA IS HERE.”

“tell him fuck you,” tendou says. “hey this is a no curse convo, goshiki is here.” you spat back. “what did he even do to you,” shirabu asked.

you ended the call and opened the door for suna.

“what’s up,” you smile.

“hey, sorry did i interrupt something?” suna asks.

“nope, no, this is your hotel room anyways, come inside.”

suna handed you your dress and told once you’re done you’ll go to the wedding venue. you followed through and went into the bathroom for privacy. you were already ready from earlier and just had to slip on the dress. you asked suna if you could go out and he gave you the okay.

there you saw him standing there, his body was muscular from volleyball and that showed through the fitted suit. this was the most tidy you’ve ever seen suna, minus the undone tie around his neck, he looked like this could’ve been his wedding.

“don’t know how to tie a tie now do you?” you softly chuckled. he jokingly pouted, “guessing you do?”

you gave the offer to tie it for him and when that was done you made your way to the venue. the venue was near the hotel so it was a small stroll.

the wedding went by quickly, you sat in the row that suna’s family was on. the wedding itself looking beautiful in the theme of light blue. unfortunately you and suna didn’t pay too much attention to what was happening since the two of you honestly just played imessage games the whole time.

towards the end at the reception, the people started the dancing. first came the hip music for the kids where they all just played around. suna’s sister asked you to join her after her brother told her no. you kindly obliged and joined her and just jumped and had fun, you’ve never felt so young. you didn’t see it but suna was covering his smile from how cute the two of you were.

in the end they had the having the typical slow dance for the people with dates to come. suna’s sister suddenly speaking and saying “nii-chan, y/n! please dance?” rintarou rolled his eyes and shook his head, you on the other hand wasn’t able to say no to her, so you pulled rintarou off his seat and and got on the dance floor.

you both didn’t really know what to do except place your arms around his neck. “you really had to pull me into this?” suna said as he placed his hands on your hips. you looked down and bit your lips trying to hold in your laugh since he didn’t seem to hesitant about this. his relatives started to tease and watch as the two of you sort of just awkwardly swayed together. “suna?” “yea?”

you wanted to have this conversation over the phone, it would’ve been less stressful but you couldn’t wait. “suna what do you think of me?” you asked. “eh? did i insult you or something?”

“what? no i just wondered, are you going to leave me once this is done?”

suna was speechless. he didn’t think you’d ask something like that. especially in the moment. “why would you ask something like that?” suna sounded almost offended.

“you said you needed a date for the wedding and that’s it, exams are coming close so our tutoring sessions would end, you don’t really need me anymore right?”

suna at the moment just felt sort of hurt but he gets the idea of you overthinking what your relationship is with him. he pulled you into a hug and spoke “y/n, you’re not this much of a dumbass, wedding, tutoring session or whatever, even if that wasn’t there i want you in my life. i’m into you, you know that?”

rintarou isn’t good with words. if he had to he could reply to anything with one worded answers but he knows what he wants with you. and for you, his say and do anything.

his words fell lightly into your ears, suddenly it felt like your surroundings disappeared and it was just the two of you. you moved a bit to face rintarou’s face, “you’re into me?” you needed to hear it again.

“so into you.”

you leaned your head into his chest and confessed, “me too.”

suna held your chin and made you face him, “putting all of the dumb bets we made aside, will you be my girlfriend?” you giggled and answered “fuck the bets i’m yours.”

funfact(s):

-the wedding was at a resort a bit far from the hyogo mainland which is why suna recommended that y/n stays at the hotel.

-the miya twins kept teasing suna that he purposely asked to share a room with y/n but no it was completed an accident.

-suna planned on asking y/n to be his girlfriend the night they were in the hotel together but already passed out from the fact he had to share a room with y/n.

-the day before, y/n met suna’s family and they all love her, especially suna’s sister.

-they’re official<3

Till it sinks in: Draco x Reader / Hurt-Comfort, Fluff Fic

A hurt-comfort fluff fic, with a slytherin Y/n being the girlfriend of the softie-who-hates-to-be-called-softie-so-he-bitches-all-day Draco Lucius Malfoy.

Where Umbridge uses her quill on you.

_____________________________________________

Dolores Umbridge, maybe the most hated teacher to set foot at Hogwarts, had a special dislike against anyone who disobeyed. And while that may be all teachers, not all teachers dismissed sobbing students from their detention. Every single student that got detention with Umbridge looked broken afterwards, but no one knew what she said to them; it was a mystery.

Professor McGonagall, for instance, made sure the students that misbehaved researched a wide topic for a few hours during the week, with the intimidating presence of her self. Professor Snape, on the other hand, locked students in the Potions classroom and let them out after the successfull brewing of a potion of his liking. Hence, it must be something similar.

Y/n strolled into class, her curls bouncing around the embroided slytherin crest of her robe. Defence against the dark arts was her worst subject, she only thought it was interesting when Professor Lupin taught it, and had done surprisingly well. Then, it was a hands-on, useful and fascinating module, while now, Umbridge followed the Ministry's policy to teach the students in a "risk free" way, by only reading through the theory. Not only were the lessons incredibly boring, the whole book was utterly useless.

"As if Voldemort will ask you the theory of Merlin's rule of categorisation of spells when he Avada-Kedavra's your ass", Y/n had scoffed when she saw the chapters. Draco had laughed, but told her that his father had owled him that Umbridge was a family ally, and hence he could not be out of line in her class.

"When did you become such a nerd?"

"Oh shut it Y/n", Y/n recalled.

She had also implemented some stupid rules, like "no touching between boys and girls, and a six feet distance at all times", and reduced the hours that students could go out of their dorms. While Dumbledore wanted the students to be at their dorms by 10pm, Umbridge thought that 6pm was acceptable.

As if.

Y/n entered the class, the only class she did not sit with Draco. Apparently, boys and girls could also not sit with one another, since they would eventually touch. And in a doomed world controlled by Umbridge, that was a sin.

Draco spotted his girlfriend entering the room, wearing a bored look on her face. He was not excited about DADA either. His parents might have told him that Umbridge was the best thing that could happen in this school, but he was not blind or stupid. The stuff being taught were useless and her teaching method was more boring than 5 hours of Divination with no breaks in his eyes. At least then, he could laugh at Trelawney. Now he just was supposed to stay silent and listen Umbridge reading the most basic book ever again and again.

He realised he got lost in his thoughts and was staring at Y/n longer than intended. She seemed bored as hell, but her eyes always intimidated him - yet, he would never admit out loud. Even the plainest of her looks had such passion beneath it, her deep dark orbs had a fire in them, surrounded by thick eyelashes, making her look coy and mischevious even when she was not planning to.

Y/n noticed him looking and smirked back at him.

"Stop staring, people might think that you like me" she mouthed silently to him. He grinned and shook his head. 'She is something else', he thought.

An unpleasantly familiar trotting of heels approached the creaking floor at the centre of the classroom, making students focus on the short, evil woman that was tormenting the school; Umbridge.

"Hello, my dear students" she smiled in a sickly manner. "Today we are learning about the theory of protection spells."

Y/n groaned, thinking other students would join her, however, it was this uncomfortable and awkward moment that everyone had decided to stay deadly silent, making her disapproving groan loud and clear to be heard.

"Is there an issue, miss Y/l/n?" Umbridge smiled in the evilest way she could.

"No, no, of course not. I always wanted to listen about the theory of protection spells." Y/n smiled in the fakest way possible.

"Is that irony I am sensing, Y/l/n?" Umbridge had a more serious look now, her smile not decieving anyone.

"Nope." She said, emphasising the "p" sound in her lips. Out of the corner of her eye, she quickly glanced to Draco, who had a warning glare. "Don't aggravate her!" He mouthed. Y/n rolled her eyes, and unfortunately for her, Umbridge saw that, taking it as it was directed at her.

She scrunched up her nose and stomped her heel lightly on the floor, when she exclaimed: "Detention after class, miss y/l/n! That attitude of yours is no match for a young witch!"

Draco did not know why everyone was saying Umbridge's detention was horrible, he had heard she only requested some lines. Even so, her detention had gained a horrible reputation, and he didn't like it one bit that his girlfriend would be the one going there.

Even so, he was angry at her, he had warned her so many times. She was such a brat every time she spoke to Umbridge, when he had told her that every student that was leaving her detention was crying.

The DADA lesson had finished, when Y/n saw Draco stomping towards her, stopping around the 6 feet limit, keeping his distance.

"Why do you never listen?!" His angry hissing voice aggravated her even more.

"I rolled my freaking eyes, Draco, chill."

"You were sarcastic. You know you were. Are you happy now?" His glare was piercing her soul.

"I am not, actually. I would prefer no stupid rules, but I guess my boyfriend is too much of a wuss to think for himself and see how ridiculous Umbridge is."

"She just wants order. Besides, its temporary!" He half whispered, half yelled.

"Sure. Tell that to yourself to feel better, darling." Now she was mad at him. "Now excuse me, I have a detention to go to." She closed the gap between them - breaking the rule- just to bump on his shoulder angrily, and stomped past him, going to detention.

"Fine! I don't give a fuck, then!" She heard her boyfriend's voice. She knew he didn't mean it at all, but she silently prayed he changed his mind after her detention, he had an hour to think by himself after all. She was hoping for an apology.

Y/n lightly knocked on her door, listening to Draco's advice for once. She should be polite, calm and collected no matter what she said to her. She couldn't risk an expulsion. Umbridge's sickly laugh was heard. "Come in, y/l/n."

Y/n opened the door, fighting back her urge to laugh or roll her eyes. Her least favourite colour, fuchsia pink, was plastered everywhere, cats trapped on the walls, and a heavy, sickly, sugary aroma filled her nostrils, she did her best to keep her pokerface.

"Sit", the teacher ordered. "You will do some lines today, Y/n."

Relief passed through her. That wasn't that bad. She grabbed a piece of paper and moved to grab her quill, when the fuchsia toad in front of her stopped her. "Oh no, dear. I'm afraid you wont need that." She smiled, and handed her a large black feathered quill from her own collection. "Use this, please. It is one of my favourites."

Y/n grabbed the quill and moved again to reach for her ink. "Oh, silly me, I forgot." She heard the professor giggle. "You won't need any ink, dear."

She looked at Umbridge confused, her tamed eyebrows furrowing to her words. Still, she went with it. She grabbed the quill and before she started, Umbridge directed her "you shall write the line: I must not be arrogant." Y/n resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

"How many times, Professor?" She said.

"Hm... let's just say... till it sinks in." Umbridge giggled once again, sipping her tea.

Y/n scoffed silently and started writing the lines, red ink magically appearing on paper. Her left hand was uncomfortable the whole time, but she ignored it. As soon as she finished the first line, though, the discomfort became a burning sensation, and hurt so much, like someone was creating small cuts in her skin. She looked at her hand to see what was going on, only to see the line she wrote engraved in her hand.

'You evil bitch' Y/n thought.

Every time she would rewrite the sentence, it was like the invisible knife digged deeper and deeper in her skin, twisting at each twist of the quill. She looked at Umbridge with teary eyes, a silent plea to stop this torture. Blood was seeping out of her wound uncontrollably now, staining her robe. Umbridge just glanced at her and said "one more page."

Through silent tears, a wrecked bloodied hand, trembles and gritted teeth, she finished her torture without making a sound. She excused her self, said goodbye to the professor, and closed the heavy door behind her, exhaling with a trembled sob escaping her lips. An exhale that she was holding for an hour.

She contained her tears and hid her hand from plain sight. She did not want to worry anyone, and she sprinted with all the energy she could muster to the dungeons. She just wanted to wash it off, wrap it in a clean cloth, and have a good cry.

As she was approaching the dungeons, it dawned on her: she could run up to Draco there. What should she do? On one hand, the thought of making him feel bad enticed her, she was still mad about his behaviour. On the other hand, she knew he meant no harm, and that he would make her start a legal war with Umbridge. She really didn't want to do anything right now, as much as she hated her guts.

She hid her hand better, wiped her eyes, took a few deep breaths and prayed that her boyfriend was not in the common room, as she opened the door.

Unbeknownst to her, Draco was waiting restlessly at the common room all this time. He didn't like the fact they fought before, he hated not being on good terms with Y/n. He didn't think he was entirely on the wrong though. 'Maybe if she listened to me once in a whi-'

His thoughts came to a halt when he saw a trembling Y/n enter the common room. Her eyes were red and glassy, and she was crouched in a weird position. He instantly forgot everything he was thinking of and sprinted towards her. When her eyes fell on him, she inhaled sharply, sttaightening her posture. He was terribly worried and she could feel it.

"Darling?" His soft voice was music to her ears.

Her eyes avoided his, refilling with tears just from his worried voice.

"I-I need to go to my room." She said with a lowered gaze.

"Tell me what's wrong please-"

"I thought you didn't give a fuck." Her voice was low when she said it, her teary eyes finally meeting his. She did not mean to snap at him, but everything was too much.

He finally locked eyes with her now, the emotion he saw in her overtaking him. He pursed his lips and looked down.

"I'm sorry. You know - baby you know thats not true. I want to know what happened. What did she say to you that made you cry? You don't cry easily, I know that. If you want I'll report her!" He was frantically searching for her gaze again, his grey irises full of concern.

"She said nothing bad to me. She instructed me through my lines." She avoided his gaze once again.

He lowered his gaze as well, and broke the -for once- uncomfortable silence, his voice slightly broken.

"Do you not trust me?"

His words echoed in her head. She did. She did with her life. She could not stay mad at him, no matter her anger. "I do. I'm sorry, I'm a-a bit of a m-mess, i'll tell you, j-just give me a few m-minutes..."

His hand grabbed hers to pull her into an embrace, to hold her close, to calm her. As soon as his hand grasped her own, though, a strong wave of stinging pain shot through her, a hissing sound escaping her lips as she yanked her hand away. She was holding it close to her heart, a few hot tears escaping her eyes. There was no escape now.

Draco looked at her wide eyed, a blank expression of confusion mixed with worry resting on his features. "What-"

He looked down on his hand. Blood.

He inhaled sharply. Blood? His heart was pounding in his chest now, his fury for Umbridge boiling. What exactly happened in her detentions?

"Darling." He spoke. His voice was low and steady, and Y/n could swear she could hear her own heartbeat. "Your hand. Please." He extended his own to signal her to give her hers. Slowly, she put her bloodied palm on his own.

"Did she do this?", he hissed angrily. Y/n nodded but winced at his tone, not ready for facing an angry Draco. He saw that, and his features calmed down.

He grasped her shoulders carefully, gently pulling her in a hug, lightly kissing her forehead and letting his lips linger there. He tilted her chin up, pressing a quick peck on her lips.

"Im not mad at you". He said steadily, to show he meant every word. "I'll kill her, honestly" he mumbled, as his eyes examined the wounds.

"I must not be arrogant?!?"

He felt his anger rise again, as he managed to read the cuts that were filled with blood.

"She h-had a black quill. I would write on paper and it would transfer the letters in m-my hand. Must be c-cursed." Y/n said between small sobs.

His one arm cradled her head and she felt him moving the other one on her waist, urging her to move. "Come on, lets get you cleaned up. I'll send a letter to my father. She will be out of her position tomorrow."

Y/n's eyes widened "No n-no I-"

Draco didn't let her finish "Y/n, I love you but please shut up."

For the first time in a while, Y/n giggled, music to Draco's ears.

He took his time being extra gentle on her wound, making sure it is clean, before putting a few healing spells on it, muttering apologies whenever Y/n would wince.

"Tomorrow your hand will be good as new. Trust me."

"I trust you Draco. Thank you."

His eyes looked up from her wound, and Y/n was sure she could melt. He had the softest gaze ever. They fell asleep in each other's embrace, soft kisses taking away the pain.

The next morning, Y/n could hardly stiffle a laugh at the annoucement of Umbridge being suddently fired. She turned at her boyfriend, who looked smug as ever.

His eyes glimmered and his eyebrows wiggled with smugness, as he said:

"She should not have been that arrogant. Guess karma is a bitch." He shrugged.

That Malfoy boy was your everything and you knew it.
