Therapy - Part 5
Tumblr media
💕 Part 1 💕 Part 2 💕 Part 3 💕 Part 4 💕
"I'm guessing you know what we're going to talk about today."
You're sitting on the familiar couch in Miss Heather's office, swaying nervously back and forth like a rocking horse at full gallop. Your breathing is rapid and irregular, escaping as squeaky little puffs from your frantically bobbing pacifier. You feel your twin French braids slap your bare shoulders with each heaving swing. You hug yourself with crossed arms, digging welts into your thighs with your glittery acrylic nails.
Everything had been going so well for you these last few months. Christmas had come and gone without too much distress; your gifts were all dumb things like patterned diapers and fluffy petticoats, but you had expected nothing less when you saw the sparkling pink wrapping paper. You had started going outside more, with Miss Heather taking you on a short trip or errand every therapy session. Other than a few snickering college girls or confused old ladies on park benches, your diapers and ridiculous outfits had rarely caused a stir, and you stopped whining so much about the excursions after returning to Miss Heather's office.
But now you've ruined everything.
You wait for Miss Heather to give you some words of comfort, to talk you down from your frenzy. But she simply observes you with an unreadable expression. Many minutes pass, and fatigue starts to set in. Your breathing remains heavy, but slows into a normal rhythm. Your violent rocking reduces to an unsteady shiver. You look into Miss Heather's eyes, silently pleading for her to make it better. To forgive you. She remains silent.
You think back to the very first time you met Miss Heather, when your step-sisters first started faking your accidents. She had been unlike anyone you had ever met -- clinical and challenging with her questions, but still deeply kind. You had assumed that as soon as you explained how your family was treating you, she would contact your step-mom and put a stop to the diapers that very day. Looking down now at the pony-patterned cloud of padding taped to your hips, you shake your head at how naïve you had been.
You uncross your arms and grab the end of one of your French braids. It's tied off with a bouncy pink-and-silver ribbon. You hate wearing ribbons, or anything else prissy, but the pink and silver parts have different textures you like to touch. The pink is soft and silky; the silver is coarse and lacy. You never used to care about little sensations like that, but in your constant isolation and boredom, you find yourself exploring them often. Miss Heather encourages it, telling you it's a way to discover the world all over again.
You've calmed down now, remaining tense but still. You close your eyes for a few seconds, then let them flutter open, tickling your brow with the comically long eyelashes Lauren had glued on. You realize your therapy isn't going to start until you speak. You let your pacifier fall out of your mouth and dangle from its purple clip.
"It was stupid. I was stupid."
Miss Heather remains unsmiling, but you swear her eyes soften. You love her for that.
"Why did you do it?"
You swallow hard, feeling a lump in your throat. "I didn't want to do this anymore. I wanted to go back to how things were...b-before the diapers." You catch yourself. "Before MY diapers."
Miss Heather crosses her legs. "And you thought you could do that by stealing?"
You quake a bit when you hear her say the word. It was just a pair of cotton underwear. On clearance. Your step-mom had wandered off to find some cartoon-themed snow boots in your size, and you saw them on the shelf. The shortalls you wore yesterday had little pockets at the waist you could hide them in.
"I said I was sorry," you whimper. This is true. When Olivia had found the underwear in your room, she held you down and twisted your arm until you confessed. Your step-mom had driven you back to the clothing store and forced you to apologize to the lady at the register. You're sure the old woman had never seen an adult sob so much.
Miss Heather leans towards you and rests her chin on an open palm. "When would you have worn the underwear? Would you have taken off your diapers and hoped your step-mom wouldn't notice? Would you have left home?"
"I don't knoooooooow," you moan pathetically, leaning away and flitting your pretty eyelashes towards the ceiling as you pull on your braids. "I just wanted to have them."
Miss Heather lets the thought hang in the air before she speaks. "It's normal to want things you can't have. But to feel so strongly about it that you're willing to steal is very concerning. Do you think what you did was wrong?"
You sniffle. "Yeah..."
"Do you? Or are you just saying that because you think it's the right answer?"
You meet Miss Heather's gaze, which still shows more severity than sympathy. You ponder the question for a moment. "It was wrong to steal," you begin slowly, then add quietly: "But some days...it's just so hard to wear my diapers."
Miss Heather pulls out her smartphone and gives it a few taps. The TV screen on the wall lights up with a cartoonish diagram of the human brain. Pulling out a laser pointer, she swivels it around the section labeled "frontal lobe."
"In psychology, there's a difference between moral judgment and moral reasoning," she says, taking on the tone of a schoolteacher. "You can decide that something is right or wrong, but make a different decision based on what your desires are. Usually these two things line up pretty well -- we try to do what we think is right. But when our choices don't match our values, we want to correct the imbalance. We do this by trying to associate the bad behavior with something unpleasant."
Your mouth hangs open stupidly as Miss Heather lectures. She notices your confusion.
"Like a punishment," she clarifies, taking the image off the TV and setting her smartphone down. "Did your step-mom punish you after you apologized?"
You shift uncomfortably on your padded butt. You had kicked and screamed and pleaded, but your step-mom gave you the worst spanking of your life. "Yeah."
"That's normal. But fixing those connections between beliefs and choices is much easier when you recognize they don't match, and you take steps to confront it yourself. This is how guilt helps us. I know you have an icky feeling in your tummy that you just want to go away."
You nod sullenly, shuffling your feet. You watch the butterfly decals on the toes of your shoes glitter in the light.
Miss Heather goes on. "There's an old expression, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' The best way to avoid that yucky feeling is to fix the imbalance before you engage in the behavior. If you had told your step-mom in the store that you wanted to steal that underwear, but didn't do it, how would things have worked out differently?"
You hold your breath for a moment, considering the question. "I wouldn't have done it, because she would have been watching me."
"Do you think she still would have punished you?"
The memory of your spanking makes you wince again. "Maybe..."
"And that would have been a good thing! The punishment reinforces that connection between actions and consequences. But instead of feeling yucky guilt, you feel pride that you made the right choice and asked your step-mom for help in a moment of weakness."
You slowly pump your toes up and down, making the butterfly decals dance and shimmer. "So I should get punished even when I do nothing wrong?"
"You should ask to be corrected when you know you need it," Miss Heather replies. "Look at me for a moment."
You tear your eyes away from the trance of your pretty shoes and meet your therapist's gaze.
"Let's say you were left at home for a week. Your step-mom and step-sisters go away on a little trip and you're all by yourself. Do you think you would still follow all of your rules? Would you still wear your diapers?"
You know there's only one way you can answer honestly. It's a fantasy you've described to Miss Heather too many times already. "No," you say, starting to tremble. "I wouldn't."
"Would that be wrong, to break rules when your family is away?"
A lump finds its way into your throat. "Y-yeah..."
"So what do we do now? You know what's right, but your brain wants to do wrong. If it ever happens -- and it may happen someday -- you know that guilty feeling will start eating you up. What should you do about it?"
You grip your braids again, feeling the coarse silver and silky pink of the ribbons more intensely than ever. "A-ask to be punished?"
"Good!" Miss Heather smiles for the first time this whole session, and your heart begins to melt. The tension evaporates, washing away like a sand castle in the tide of Miss Heather's forgiving praise. "Why don't you lie down on your tummy and explain to me why you need to be punished. You can hold Mr. Kazoo if you'd like."
You're terrified by what's about to happen, but you're past the point of being able to fight it. You stretch out on the couch, your fat diapered bottom wiggling in the air. You pull your giant stuffed teddy bear from his perch on the floor and wrap your arms around his neck. "Sometimes I think about not wearing my diapers," you begin cautiously.
You hear the hardwood floors creak as Miss Heather rises and approaches, outside your field of vision. "Do you think you deserve to be punished?"
The shivering returns and you clutch Mr. Kazoo closer. "Um...y-yes."
The floorboards fall silent. You can smell Miss Heather's perfume behind you.
"The rule is that you always wear your diapers now."
You can barely breathe. "I shouldn't break the rules."
You scrunch up your face in frightened anticipation. Miss Heather says something else but you don't hear it. All you can think of is Lauren sneering at you as she delivers one of her favorite taunts: "Good girl."
Good girl.
Good girl.
You're going to be a good girl.

1.2k words, FLUUUUUFF, kith for yeonjun?, barely proofread but it's v soft, except for beomgyu he's just hot.
a/n: ykw,, , i'm single asf.
Tumblr media
CHOI YEONJUN … treats you to a shopping trip! (retail therapy is incredibly important, everyone)
You didn't realize when Choi Yeonjun was going to tag along with you, that it would end up with him trying on just about a dozen lipsticks and glosses. The two of you were in the high-end cosmetics store at the mall because you wanted to pick up this one birthday gift set for your cousin. Somehow… somehow, Yeonjun had convinced you to let him drag you all over the store as he hopped from brand to brand, swatching lip products on the back of his hand in differing shades of red. 
"What about this one?" He asked you, and he turned around from the small mirror on the shelf to show you. He pursed his lips in an adorable smile as he showed off the shade of glittery scarlet red. "It's pretty, no?"
"It is very pretty," you agreed. You took the tube from him and examined it. Smooth, glossy, and most definitely transferable. 
"Hey Jun?"
"Hm," he hummed in reply while hunting for his next tester. 
You gently took his chin in your hand and turned his head to yours. His eyes were wide as you pressed your lips to his with just enough pressure to transfer the color onto your lips. 
The kiss was short-lived, and Yeonjun chased your lips when you pulled away. 
You smacked your lips to spread the color around. "What do you think?"
Yeonjun looked at you in what could only be described as pure fondness. If he were a cartoon, he might have had love hearts floating from his head and popping out of his irises. "Perfect."
Tumblr media
CHOI SOOBIN … holds a spa night for you!
"Sooobin-ah!"
Choi Soobin's head perked up at the sound of his voice as he shoved another slice of cucumber into his mouth. "Huh?"
You grinned at the sight of his slightly chubby cheeks, most likely filled with the five or so cucumbers he had just cut. You had just finished showering and brought down your little box of nail polishes from your upstairs drawer. "Bunny, if you eat any more of those, we won't have any left for our eyes."
Soobin pouted innocently as you came up to where he stood at the counter and gently took the knife away from him. "I was hungry."
"We had dinner thirty minutes ago," you quipped back with a laugh as you began quickly slicing the remaining cucumbers. 
He pouted even deeper, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind so he could tuck his head into the crook of your neck. His damp hair tickled your freshly washed face. "We only need four slices, though, honey."
You sighed, taking a couple pieces and holding it up to his mouth. He took them between his teeth and you ruffled his hair. "You're too cute, Bin. How can I resist you, hm?"
He giggled and hid his face in your neck. "Can you paint my nails blue?"
Tumblr media
CHOI BEOMGYU … serenades you by starlight!
Why play Spotify when you can have a live concert, baby? Was what Choi Beomgyu had told you when you had suggested firing up the Bluetooth speaker. Your fingers were deftly occupied with braiding the bit of hair Beomgyu had grown out into a dark wolf cut, while he carefully reached over to the electric guitar propped up against the end of his bed. 
"How's it lookin'?" He asked you softly from between your legs where he sat on the floor, and you the bed. He turned on the speaker hooked up to the guitar, tongue poking outside his lips as he turned the volume down just slightly. 
"It's…" your words faded from your tongue as he began to strum, the sound echoing off the walls of his bedroom and filling you with a sort of warmth. A shiver ran down your spine, and you knew Beomgyu was smiling to himself because he knew it, too. "You look good as always, Beom."
He let out a husky laugh. "Thanks, baby. You do a good job every time."
You finished up braiding as much as you could before securing it with a small, black elastic. As his fingers strummed his guitar—the tune was familiar, but you didn't really care to pin it with a name—you wrapped your arms around Beomgyu's shoulders and rested your cheek against the top of his head. 
He let you lay there, your bodies pressed together and swaying slightly to the music he made. 
Tumblr media
KANG TAEHYUN … takes you on a reading picnic!
There was something so soul-soothing about sitting on a grassy hill overlooking the calm waters of a lake. The weather was warm and comfortable, the tall trees towering around you shading both you and your partner from the sun's rays. 
Kang Taehyun had his eyes mostly focused on the pages of his book—mostly. He did, however, occasionally (frequently) cast a glance down at you. You laid in his lap, hair falling slightly in your eyes with the way you were lying, your eyes running across the page of your own novel of choice. 
There was a picnic basket on the opposite corner of the blanket, left untouched since you and Taehyun had cracked open your respective books. 
"Is your book not interesting enough for you, Tae?"
He blinked, snapping out of his daze. "Hm? What makes you say that?"
You smiled and laid your book face down on your stomach as you shifted to stare straight up at him. He did the same, setting his down on the picnic blanket to give you his full attention. "You've been looking at me more than the words on the page."
From your point of view, he looked nothing short of dreamy, with the gentle wind blowing through his strawberry blond hair, white button up sleeves rolled to expose his forearms. You could get used to this.
"Well, you're just a lot prettier than words on a page, darling," he replied with a smile curving up into his cheeks.
Yeah, you could definitely get used to this. 
Tumblr media
HUENING KAI … indulges you in fresh bakes!
The sound of "Fresh Bread!" rang true like a doorbell as you and Huening Kai stepped through the door of the 85℃ Bakery and Café on the block. You inhaled the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries as Kai went to grab a clean, plastic tray and a matching pair of tongs. 
"Doesn't it smell good in here?" You chirped to him as you helped line the tray with a blanket of parchment paper. 
Kai chuckled at the adorable way you bounced on your feet as you surveyed the dozens upon dozens of options surrounding you both. There were far too many pastries lined up in each glass case, all crafted to mouthwatering perfection. "It does."
Cute, he thought as you carefully lifted the glass door of one of the cases to pluck a loaf of brioche with the tongs. He balanced the tray for you to place the bread on top of. 
"Hey baby, can you get me one of those marbled taro buns?" He asked you, inclining his chin toward the respective glass case. 
"Oh, sure!" You shuffled over and grabbed the pastry, then set it down on the tray. "Maybe we should get two," you said upon further consideration of the pretty, little lavender and white colored pastry. 
"Why don't we share one?" He suggested. "Lady and the Tramp style."
You giggled, and the sound was marvelous to Kai's ears. "Hyuka, how do you Lady and the Tramp a taro bun?"
"There's just a lot more kissing," he grinned.

Tell us more about le cartoon version of Raincode you have please.
Like of other characters appearing and more dynamics, including episodes.
oh BABY you're in for a treat!!!
i have a whole google doc planned out for this thing, despite me having no animation experience gjgkhkh... this is gonna be the Public Lore Dump Post btw, and spoilers for all of rain code will be under the cut.
so the concept for this whole thing came about while watching the animations of youtuber OkayScreamingNow. super cool animation btw, their "psycho teddy" animation moderately blew up but i'm a huge fan of their "everybody likes you" video.
between watching those, a ton of aimkid videos, wince media's meat bun song, and nicktendo's mighty b review, i started feeling really nostalgic for mid-late 2000s animation, the stuff i grew up on. growing up creepie, yin yang yo, kenny the shark, all these were shows i adored as a kid. so, combined with my current rain code fixation, this little au came to be!
the general conceit of this au is that "Master Detective Archives" is a 2008 animated children's program that lasted for 20 episodes and is majority lost media. only a couple episodes exist in the bowels of shitty piracy sites, and even then those sites keep getting taken down. the more screenshots and concept art i make, the more is "revealed" about the show.
one of the things that interests me the most about children's media is how people worked around the censors. a lot of people are familiar with the story of the ren and stimpy adult party cartoon. for those who aren't familiar, when john "god's mistake" kricfalusi created an adult oriented reboot of ren and stimpy, the show was dogshit. with the new ability to rely on the crutch of whatever grossout sexual humor it wanted, it became a massive stain on john k's career (he has had other horrific stains both before and after apc, but i need to stress, no one liked apc).
for a more positive example, i love pretty much all of jhonen vasquez's work, but i find the humor and even some of the horror of invader zim to be more interesting than the same stuff in jthm, because iz was working under far stricter standards and practices.
what i'm trying to get at is that i enjoy the challenge of seeing how i can take concepts and make them more kid-friendly while still keeping the intrigue and interest the concepts originally had. i worked at a summer camp in 2022, and the driving force behind this little project was "keeping rain code camp-appropriate, but also keeping it interesting".
this ethos will hopefully explain some of the Big Changes i made to the story and characters. i do want to stress that i do not think i am improving on the original work. i think rain code is a story that, inherently, works better as an m-rated, gritty, cyberpunk-y murder mystery. i've just always been uniquely fascinated by this particular genre shift.
so, first major change: nocturnal detective agency has turned into nocturnal detective academy. this is a place where young minds, particularly those with supernatural powers, go to hone their craft. or at least... it was. now it's run exclusively by three people: headmaster Zange Eraser, school nurse and therapist Melami Goldmine, and teacher (and everything else) Yakou Furio.
i grew up with a book series called school of fear, which was about a small group of kids with severe phobias being sent to help conquer their fears at a highly rated school. however, it was actually just a kooky old lady and her massive mansion, and while she helped the kids get over their fears, she did it in unorthodox and occasionally darkly humorous ways. i remember a scene in the books where she put the claustrophobe and the kid afraid of death in a coffin for a few hours, and while that is absolutely NOT how exposure therapy works, the idea of a school that's just a few adults running a lowkey scam out of their house has always tickled my funny bone.
so the nda is a school, teaching detective skills and the like. of course, because yakou is my beautiful failwife, he mostly just sends his students out into the city of Kanai Ward to do their own investigative work and report back with what they've learned... as long as they don't get in trouble with Hecksmile or his goons, at least!
yeah, the other big change is that the peacekeepers are more like team rocket than corrupt cops. while i agree that the police suck, and a lot of older cartoons seem to share that sentiment (even some newer ones like gravity falls), having all the villains be evil, corrupt cops seems like a recipe to get s&p on your ass. so now, the cops just don't do anything, and Hecksmile and his goons just wreak havoc whenever they feel like it.
(i've already explained the hecksmile bit in a previous post, but i dont think any of the other names would need changing. maybe if this was the 90s, desuhiko and fubuki would get their names changed to something more eurocentric, but this isn't the 90s and that stuff was cringe even back then.)
there are only seven students at the academy, and i've de-aged these characters to be more relatable to the target audience: our main character yuma, halara, desuhiko, fubuki, vivia, pucci, and aphex. i'll detail them a bit here, because yakou, zange, and melami can all stay pretty similar (actually, melami doesn't randomly feel up strangers to get their clothing measurements anymore, but that's a pretty minor change).
yuma is still our main character, acting as the straight man and audience surrogate. the whole "number one" twist isn't really a thing with how this whole plot is set up, so his awkward and generally "scrunkly" attitude from the game is his natural state here. though none of the ages of the characters are specified, he's often called out as the youngest detective, probably in his preteens or early teenagehood. his coalescence is used for a lot of teamwork-based solutions to problems, but he isn't that great at actual mystery-solving.
this is where shinigami comes in! in the first episode, after some hijinks, yuma accidentally summons a death god. fortunately, he summons a teenage death god. she can only appear in her cool human form in her summoner's dreams, she can't interact with anyone in the physical world except her summoner, and she doesn't even have her reaper's license yet! regardless, she likes having a friend, so she helps yuma see things from different perspectives. i figured death spirits wouldn't be off the table, exactly (i mean, look at billy and mandy), but i think there's a certain humor in a death god not being able to do any soul reaping. i like to think she talks about it like her driver's license. "ugh, i'm not allowed to reap any souls until i'm 16 thousand years old! i'm only 14 thousand!!!" because of her teenagerdom, her human form is going to be far less sexualized. also because i think her canon outfit is a little ugly.
halara doesn't change much from canon. very mysterious and intimidating. no one knows their gender because everyone's too afraid to ask (and to find out, you'd have to pay them about $100 in cash). they still love cats but have an allergy to them, they still don't trust people, etc.
desuhiko changes a lot from canon. he's less actively creepy and more of a wannabe romantic. he has a tendency to fall for grown women, although he has absolutely no chance with any of them. this is played for laughs.
fubuki is another character who doesn't change much from canon. obscenely rich and super out of touch with everything around her. has occasional bursts of intelligence for comedy.
vivia is still everyone's favorite emo sadboy, writing poetry in the fireplace. his passive suicidal ideation, though interesting to explore in media made for adults, is very dangerous to put in a children's show, so we're nixing that. instead, he's just real sleepy and goth. he's also the least interested in doing actual detective work, so when he and yuma are investigating together, it gives yuma a chance to take the lead.
pucci doesn't change much from canon, but admittedly, we don't know too much about her. she's sensitive to noise, very thoughtful and introspective, but very awkward around people being nice to her.
and aphex. what to say about aphex. i don't like aphex for a number of reasons (anyone who played with jpn audio can back me up on this one), but the idea of someone who is initially violent and cruel becoming your (still somewhat violent and cruel) ally is a fun character trope to me. my go-to example is buford from phineas and ferb, and i think that's the role aphex would play. initially a threat, but eventually becomes softer and more well-developed. well, if the show got more seasons.
and that's our main cast! i could talk about kurumi, makoto, and martina, as i have a lot of cool ideas for them, but i have been writing this for like an hour and i think i need to chill ahaha... ty for the ask!!!

How ticklish would you hc each Sanders Sides character from 1-10? (Emile Picani and Remy optional)
Hmmm okay so PERSONALLY I'm a sucker for a good trope so I'm always feeling Virgil is the most ticklish.
so starting with Light Sides we have
Logan: 5 (average ticklish person, mostly have to be really keyed up to get a big reaction but ticklish none the less. can hide it the best out of all the sides)
Patton 5.5 (Slightly more ticklish then Logan, but despite that, he has some of the biggest reactions because he's having fun and the bigger the reaction, the more the others will tickle him!
Roman 8 (V ticklish!! despite being the primary Ler in the Mind Palace, he's actually the second most sensitive side. he has big hearty laughter that everyone loves if they dare to try!)
Virgil 9.5 (sweet boi, literally touch him ANYWHERE he at the very least giggles, and at the most screams. hates it with a passion ((not really)) but puts up with it for everyone else ((again not really)) )
Alt:
Remy: 4 (def ticklish in one very specific spot and no where else for some reason. will laugh alot and have fun with it but he's much more of a Ler)
Emile: (y'all don't kill me please I've never seen cartoon therapy I keep meaning to but still haven't so all I know is he's a therapist(?) so I can't really do him but for the heck of it I have him as 6.9)
TW DARK SIDES:
Janus: 6.5 (Fairly ticklish, mostly in obscure (?) places and almost none in the traditional "tickle spots". places like palms, ankles, wrists, face, and neck. He hides it well but if you're persistent he'll die)
Remus: 3 (in my personal HC I don't really like Remus all that much so I just hc him not at all but realistically I think he's a solid 3 cause that's like everyone on earth tbh. he hides it incredibly well tho)
anywho these are my personal HC thank you so much for the ask anon!!!!

This Fanfiction Of Sanders Sides Is Called "Bluey" Part 1: Roman
[olivia's note: hi everyone! this is part 1 of a fic submitted by the incredible, incomparable anne onymous! i absolutely adore bluey and this fic is so freaking cute i can't stand it. thank you so much! <;3]
chapters 1 (2) (3) (4)
Despite being a fatherly figure, part of Patton would always be a child at heart. That's probably how he found himself watching "Bluey". Sure, it was for kids but lots of older people love it too, including Thomas. He was watching the show in the living room when Emile walked in. "Good morning, Patty-cakes. Whatcha watching?" he asked. "Morning Emmy, I'm just watching this new show. Well, not exactly new, it's been out for quite a while, but you should watch it with me. It's so cute!" Patton explained. Emile sat next to him on the couch and immediately recognised the Heelers. "Oh, you're watching "Bluey", I love this show! How far have you gotten?" Emile inquired. "Actually, I finished it. Just having a little season one rewatch. Want me to go back to episode one?" Patton asked. "Sure, if it's no trouble." Emile said. Patton paused the episode he was on and went back to the episode guide to select "Magic Xylophone", the first episode.
"Oh yeah, I forgot this was on Disney+. I guess I got too used to watching those free episodes on TikTok." Emile said. "Normally I wouldn't encourage piracy, but it does make it a lot fairer for those who can't afford it or or just don't have access to every episode." Patton confessed. "Yeah, that's how I see it too. You know, if we're gonna have a Bluey marathon, might as well do it properly." Emile said, snapping his fingers. In an instant, he was wearing a Bingo onesie and holding a Bluey plushie, and Patton wore a Bluey onesie and had a Bingo plushie. Patton gasped in delight and squealed. "I love this! You can summon things too?!" Patton exclaimed, squeezing the toy. "Uh-huh. It's just not really needed in Cartoon Therapy. And when I do use it, it's almost unnoticeable." Emile explained, hitting play. After dancing along to the intro, Emile noticed Patton seemed to be fidgeting and blushing. "You ok?" Emile asked. "Yeah, it's just this scene." Patton admitted. Emile looked back at the TV and saw Bandit playing Bluey like a piano. 
"Roman did the same thing to me a few days ago. When I asked him what was that for, he said..." Patton started before clearing his throat and removing his glasses. "Really, Padre? I thought you of all Sides would know half as much about Bluey as I do." Patton continued in Roman's voice. "Oh my god, you sounded just like him!" Emile giggled. "Thanks. Anyway, that's how I started watching Bluey. After the first episode, I was hooked." Patton said, putting his glasses back on. "So you weren't looking for ways to get him back?" Emile inquired. "No, but I guess I could still do that since there's quite a few tickling scenes in this show. After all, no one gets away with tickling the tickle monster in this household." Patton replied. "That's it! We'll watch every episode we can think of that has anything to do with tickling and then that could get you some ideas!" Emile suggested. "Great idea, Emile!" Patton agreed. As soon as "Magic Xylophone" ended, so began the search for inspiration. They watched "Daddy Robot", "Hotel", "Butterflies", "Mount Mumandad", "Ticklecrabs" and even "Perfect". By the time they were finished, Patton had a few ideas in mind but wasn't sure which one to use for Roman. 
"Sure, Ticklecrabs is pretty teasy and that really gets to him, but surprise tickles work really well too and I could definitely surprise him by being a crazy pillow or crazy blanket. But "Poor Little Bug On The Wall" gave me a really good idea for a tickle game. Oh, why is this so hard?" Patton complained, burying his face in his Bingo plushie. Emile frowned. He hated seeing Patton like this and anyone could tell you that decision making can be a nightmare if there's too many options. Surely he can help somehow. Then it struck him. "Why not try all the techniques on me first? Then you can decide based on which ones felt the most fitting." Emile suggested. Patton looked at Emile and smiled. "Ok. If you're sure." he agreed, cracking his knuckles. Emile giggled nervously as he laid across Patton's lap. After almost 20 minutes of testing different methods, Emile's glasses were fogged up and he was a sweaty, giggly, panting mess. "Thanks for the help, Dr Giggles." Patton said, sneaking a few quick pokes to Emile's tummy before leaving. Emile yawned and went to his room for a well-deserved nap.
Patton knocked on Roman's door, ready to put his plan into action. "Come iiiiin!" Roman sang from inside. Patton let himself in, trying to suppress a smirk. "Hi Roman!" Patton greeted. "Hey Patt–aww, cute onesie. Bluey, huh? Thought for sure you'd go for Bandit since, well, you know." Roman remarked. "Well, we are both dads." Patton agreed. In an instant, he changed his onesie from Bluey to Bandit. As Roman looked down at himself, he realised Patton gave him the Bluey onesie. "Ooh. Thanks." Roman said. "You're welcome, kiddo. I thought Bluey suited you. Although there is one character I think suits you better." Patton replied, summoning a new onesie. Roman looked at his onesie and realised it changed from Bluey to Muffin. "Hey!" Roman protested, glaring at Patton who was already hunched over, laughing. "Sorry, Roman! I couldn't resist!" Patton chuckled, changing the onesie back to Bluey as Roman pouted and mumbled grumpily. "Awww, don't be grouchy. I think I know what'll turn that frown upside down, Mr Grumpy." Patton said, taking his phone out and selecting a Bluey episode: Daddy Robot. Roman smiled and the two sat together on his bed as they watched. 
After a few minutes, the scene where Bandit treats Bluey like a banjo was about to play and Patton was ready to strike. Without warning, he grabbed Roman by the wrists and started "strumming" across his belly. "Gah! Patton, what are you do–Ah! Hahahahaha! Pahahattohohon! Whyhyhyhy?!" Roman chuckled. "My oh my, this is one chatty banjo." Patton teased. Roman was internally facepalming right now. How did he forget Patton is the biggest tickle monster in the Mind Palace? He couldn't help himself when he did what he did last week. When he saw Patton napping in his room with his shirt ridden up, his exposed tummy was practically begging for tickles! And all the different laughs he makes when he's tickled are so cute, from his giggles and snorts, to his baby-like cackles. Curse his adorably misleading ticklishness! "Wait a minute, this isn't a banjo. Silly me. It's a piano!" Patton exclaimed as he released Roman's wrists, singing a tune as he started "playing" him across his ribs and tummy. Roman kicked frantically, curled into himself and even attempted to crawl away, but Patton wasn't letting him go. 
"Ladies, gentlemen and esteemed guests, my sincerest apologies. I seem to be having a bit of a struggle with this piano." Patton joked as he dragged Roman back to his lap. Roman tried to groan but was too busy laughing. He should've known that line would come back to haunt him. "Pahahahat, plehehease! I'm sohohohorry! Hahahahaha!" Roman cackled. "What's the magic word?" Patton asked. "Stohohohop!" Roman squealed. "Actually the magic word was "xylophone", but I'll accept "stop" since this is only fun for me when it's fun for you and you're getting tired." Patton said, stopping immediately. As Roman caught his breath, Patton summoned a glass of water and gave it to him. "Thanks." Roman sighed, gulping it down. "So, what have we learned today?" Patton asked. "Always expect revenge when you tickle the tickle monster?" Roman guessed. "That's there's only one tickle monster and it's not you, mister." Patton said, booping Roman's nose on the last word. "Can't you be THE tickle monster and I can be A tickle monster? Roman reasoned. "Are we gonna have to perform an encore?" Patton asked, wiggling his fingers threateningly. "Nope! Lesson learned." Roman assured, covering his stomach protectively. Patton giggled and got up to leave. 
"At least you're not worse than Remus." Roman muttered. "Huh? What does Remus have to do with anything?" Patton asked. Roman froze. "I don't know, what does Remus have to do with this?" he stammered hesitantly. "You just said I wasn't worse than him. What did you mean by that?" Patton inquired. "I didn't say that." Roman denied. "Roman, don't lie to me." Patton said sternly. Roman sighed. "Fine. Sometimes he randomly pops in here out of the blue and tickles me until I nearly pass out or wet myself. He doesn't care if I keep saying "stop" and I usually have to physically pry him off, if I even have the strength to." Roman explained. "That's horrible! Tickling is supposed to be fun, it's practically a game we're born with in our systems. I know Remus goes overboard with a lot of things, but this is where I draw the line. That kiddo needs a punishment and I'm just the dad for the job. Where is he?" Patton ranted. "How should I know? I'm not a dark Side. Ask Virgil, he used to be one." Roman suggested. "Good thinking, I'll go find him. If Remus comes in here while I'm gone, scream for me." Patton said, leaving the room. "Oh, I'll be screaming alright." Roman grumbled.
To be continued...

I Think I Might Be a Kidult
Just this morning I learned the term while listening to the Imaginary Worlds podcast episode called: Class of ‘84: Turtles, Transformers and Toys Takeover TV which introduced me to another term "toyetic". My goddess who knew think pieces, podcast and documentaries were being written about 80s toys and characters?
I was very tickled by this episode because from beginning to the end it held my total attention, they were talking about the sweet spot of my love of toys and animated television shows. This episode focused in on two of my favs one from then and one I discovered later. Transformers was the former and the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles was the latter, I had really gotten into that on YouTube watching the original series every week during my Saturday Morning Cartoons scheduled programming.
The fact that I designated a specific day every week to just watch cartoons totally ticked off one of the items on the list of things that made you a kidult. My reasons were layered, this was the time period when my mom was still alive, albeit I had faced quite a few traumas during this period, they would pale in comparisons to later ones. I also faced something as a child, which my therapist explained to me as parentification.
Tumblr media
Unbeknownst to my mom in trying to do her best to raise her three kids she did this to me. This behavior spilled over into my adulthood in me being overly-responsible and never really being as irresponsible and experimental as my peers during my developing years. Through much therapy and maturity I now actively rebel against adulting, and take every opportunity to regress to a simpler time, one unburdened by constantly having to make decisions and care for others around me.
One of the huge benefits of the inheritance from my father's mother is my no longer needing to work. I live meagerly not wanting for much, but am the master of my schedule not being beholden to anyone or anything. This was the biggest blessing after being the caregiver of a woman who psychologically abused me my entire adult life. The fact that her personal greed lead to my personal bounty was a major upside, giving me the time and space to heal my many unresolved wounds.
Kidulting is something I fully embrace as a place of safety, comfort and stability things I had missed through out my formative years and early adulthood. I could finally give myself the things that others couldn't give me and if this happens to include a bunch of die-cast, plastic and metal toys you know what, I have abso-smurfly no problem with that!

How to Conquer Your Fear of Bugs or Entomophobia
Entomophobia, often known as acrophobia or claustrophobia, is the unnatural and enduring aversion to insects. Learn more about entomophobia by clicking here. Entomophobia, or the dread of insects like ticks and other mites like scabies, bed bugs, and lice, is most prevalent during the summer. Acrophobia and claustrophobia are other names for entomophobia. Ticks regrettably thrive in this climate due to the abundance of lush foliage present in wooded areas and backyards as a result of wet winters and rainy springs. Although not all ticks transmit disease, tick-related ailments can be found in many parts of the country.
1. Entomophobia signs
Entomophobia people may suffer a severe itching or uncomfortable crawling sensation all over their body or just below the surface. They can be so worried about getting a tick bite that they won't venture outside. The symptoms of entomophobia are similar to those of other phobias. These signs could consist of:
.Quick heartbeat
.Trembling
.Sweating
.Quick heartbeat
.Shortness of breath and nausea
2. Options for Treating Bug Fear
According to Dr. Salved, exposure therapy can be extremely beneficial. According to her, "imaginary exposure," in which the patient simply thinks about ticks, maybe the first step in therapy. The individual may then be shown a cartoon depiction of a tick, a photo of a real tick, and finally a video of a tick. The doctor says, "It depends on the particular person and how much they can bear. "Exposing children to something they are not ready for is the last thing you want to do. You must proceed cautiously. Otherwise, she explains, if exposure therapy moves too quickly, the patient can be motivated to stop getting treatment altogether.
With exposure therapy, it is undoubtedly feasible to overcome a fear of bugs, but success depends on the patient's commitment to the program. According to Dr. Salved, "Some people are helped with just one visit, while in other cases, it could take 20 visits. She continues by saying that each person receives treatment differently.
3. Steps You Can Take to Take Action
Dr. Salcedo suggests that you educate yourself on the actual tick risk in your area. You should take more precautions than someone who lives in a room with few ticks if you reside in one with a high tick population.
lower the likelihood that a tickle bite you. When trekking, stay in the middle of the trail and stay away from shrubs and bushes because ticks like to hide in these. Avoid tick habitats as much as you can.
When you're outside, where ticks are known to be a problem, keep your skin covered by donning long sleeves and light-colored clothing. Long pants should be tucked into socks.
Use permethrin- and DEET-based insect repellents on your clothing and your skin.
Check your pets frequently for ticks and treat them if necessary, especially after they return inside from the outdoors.

My Elliott Headcanon/Story
(Warning for professional tickles. A consent waiver is signed.)
Elliot, while having made progress in valuing themselves after breaking up w/ their abusive ex Mitchell, still feels down some days. They get lonely + touch starved. While they do have a cat to cuddle with at home, it doesn't seem like enough. They feel tempted to get back together w/ their ex. Although aware of the cycle of abuse, they long for the positive attention they did get. Talking about it w/ Picani might help, they think, so they pay him a visit. 
Picani offers a form of touch therapy to soothe them. He'll give them a massage as well as tickles. And, if at any point Elliott feels uncomfortable, he'll stop right away. Elliott agrees to this, and reads and signs a consent form. It sounds like it could work.
In the session, Picani starts off at their shoulders, massaging gently, and works his way down their back. However, he does get a bit worried at noticing their squirming. Elliott may be uncomfortable and not voicing it. He inquires about it, hoping his patient is doing okay.
Elliott's face flushes. It tickles So Badly, but they don't want it to stop. It's embarrassing, but it's best to just get it over with. They admit to Picani that they're quite ticklish...
Picani sighs in relief and promises Elliott that he'll try another method that won't tickle so much. However, Elliott is SO DARN TICKLISH that no matter what Picani does, it still tickles!!
Finally Picani sighs and stops. 'No no, please!' Elliott says. 'I liked that!' They admit they enjoyed the tickly massage and that it's made them happier than they've been in months. Picani asks then if it would be therapeutic to continue. Elliott says 'Very much so!'
So Picani continues massaging their back. And while working his way up to their neck, he glides a finger along the back of it. Elliott scrunches up their shoulders and giggles adorably.
“Shall we start the tickles now?” Picani says, and Elliott nods. He wiggles his fingers in their armpits now too. Elliott squeals and almost tips over in their chair. "Careful there," Picani teases.
Now he turns the massage into a full blown tickle session! Picani wiggles his fingers along their ribs, never taking his hands off as he travels up and down. He plays them like a xylophone, going hard, then soft, and switches techniques, going in between the bones. Elliott shrieks and bursts into uncontrollable laughter. Feeling like his patient might need some air, Picani slows down and lowers the intensity. Now going quite softly but keeping Elliott in a giggle fit.
Picani stops, giving Elliott a break for air. The kiddo's grateful for this, as they're easily winded. Just when they've caught their breath though, Picani says, “I wonder how ticklish that belly is!”
Elliott blushes and curls up. Picani tilts his head to the side. He doesn't want to misinterpret, so he calmly and gently says, "Remember, we can stop any time you want." Elliott looks up gratefully, knowing they're safe. They ask him to continue. 
"That was just a rEFLEHEHEHEHEHEHEEX!!!" Picani targets that belly with ease. 
"Wow," he says. 'What an adorable, squishy belly!" Elliott squeals.
As he makes his way towards the navel, Elliott wiggles more and more. "Aw, is this a bad spot?" Picani says. Elliott buries their face in their hands. Picani swirls his finger around the navel teasingly. Around and around and... 
"Just get it over with!" Elliott cries. And Picani does so, his finger diving into that adorable navel, wiggling mercilessly.
Elliott laughs hard. They laugh and laugh until they can't anymore. Banging their fist on the table, they beg for mercy.
Picani relents right away, pulling both hands back and dropping them at his sides. Just as promised. Elliot rubs the sensations away themselves, worried that if Picani does it it'll just tickle more. Picani goes back to his desk, sitting down in his chair. He asks if that was good. Elliott nods, panting. They talk and decide to schedule another appointment. Shaking hands, they part ways. Elliott can't wait for next week. Especially if it means more tickle therapy!

The best form of therapy for me is watching the cartoons on my nostalgic cartoons list.
Some examples are Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb, Steven Universe, and Avatar The Last Airbender 💖

‘Sometimes’ Cute
Hey everyone! First time writing for Deceit and Dr. Picani both! Now I don’t really do Sympathetic!Deceit when it comes to in the same universe, but I’ve found I ship Deceit and Dr. Picani together so hard in many human AUs. I probably won’t write Deceit/side tickle fics just because it feels wrong and I don’t ship the slimey boi with any of the sides. But with Dr. Picani I think it’s fine, I believe they balance each other out in the way that I can see. Because this is a human AU expect them both to be ooc here. Also this is a tickle fic though, so I’ll put appropriate warnings! <3 u all!
(This is an illusionist AU, where Damien (Deceit) is a magician/illusionist for his job.)
‘Sometimes’ Cute
Ships: Decani/Piceit (Dr. Picani x Deceit)
Words ~ 1,319 ~
Warning: Mentions of storms, little angst at the beginning, but fluffy the rest of the way. Tickling, but again duh.
The wide open door held the first implications that something was terribly wrong. Damien saw it as he passed through the living room towards the entrance hallway where right in front of him lay his boyfriend, Emile, on the carpet and panting heavily. The door as stated earlier was wide open, letting some of the rain and wind into the house, the spray finding it’s way onto Emile’s shivering body.
It only took a second before Damien quickly scooped the therapist up in his arms and fought against the roaring wind to slam the door shut. He could feel just how little strength the figure had in his form. Judging by it all, the therapist must have walked in the treacherous weather outside. It seems as if the so called ‘ghost’ haunting the car enough to malfunction the security system had locked him out again.
Even if that had indeed been the reason, Damien was not thinking about it, because the illusionist quickly had his boyfriend on the couch with a cup of tea and a warm blanket in less than a minute. After he had stripped him of his wet clothes and brought him some warmer pjs to change into of course. Through it all, Emile could barely breathe and was shaking quite violently, the involuntary jerks only seeming to subside after he had finished his first cup of tea.
He brought his unoccupied hand up to Damien’s, who was currently drying his drenched hair with a towel. The illusionist only stopped a second to return the favor and add an additional affirmation of his thumb across his boyfriends knuckles. It was then some words were exchanged.
“It happened again.”
“The car?” Damien could feel Emile Picani nod once, after taking the second sip of his second cup of tea. The color began to return to his cheeks.
“It does this to me all the time. I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore.” Damien, continued to dry off Emile’s hair. Once finished he placed the towel down the laundry shoot and moved to sit next to his boyfriend. He already looked so much better than he had a minute ago.
“What this all comes down to is, we need to get you a new car.” Picani quickly snapped his head in the direction of him.
“A new car?! But that means I’ll have to part with Herby! My cute little love bug. I just can’t do that! I’ve had him since I graduated highschool!” Damien raised an eyebrow.
“You are twenty-eight Emile. And that was 10 years ago that we graduated. I say it’s high time that you do get a new car. Regardless if you’ve had the car for a period of time. And besides I thought I was your cute little love bug.” Picani gave a shaky smile that gradually grew into the cute little giggle that Damien had always adored.
“You are...sometimes-”
“Sometimes? Why only sometimes?”
“Well the other times you’re either sweaty from your work, or forgot to wash off your excessive make up after a performance and it just runs down your face....also from getting sweaty at work.” Damien gave something close to a whine.
“You just came in the door...wet...from work. And I thought you were cute! You should return the favor!” Picani laughed a little louder this time.
“I didn’t say I didn’t!”
“You just told me I was cute, but only sometimes!”
“Well yeah! I’m sure I’m not cute when I come home grumpy from a horrible session with one of my clients.” Damien quickly used a finger to the chin to turn Emile’s gaze back to him.
“Au contraire, I find your little pouty face to be quite adorable.”
“No you don’t.” Damien began to nuzzle his face into the disbelieving therapist’s neck, earning a couple adorable giggles.
“Yes I do.” Emile half-heartedly pushed against the sensitive but pleasing touch, but his lover persisted.
“Noooooo you don’t.” He emitted a gasp when a hand snaked itself up against his ribs, and when Damien’s whispers entered his ear.
“That’s not for you to decide, dear.” The hand quickly began tickling up and down his rib, earning immediate laughter from the therapist. It teased in between the rib spaces, and carefully plucked up and down his side, occasionally swirling a finger in the ticklee’s exposed armpit.
“Nohohoho stoooooohohohopp!!” He didn’t stop. In fact, he just tickled more. Clawing his way down to his boyfriend’s sensitive belly. He snaked his second hand around the other side so it could join the fray at squeezing the adorable muffin top just above Emile’s belt.
“Thihihihis ihihiss Uhuhihhuhuhunfairrr!!” Emile could feel Damien smirk into his neck, pressing a couple tiny kisses to the ticklish area there.
“Unfair? Well perhaps the issue with the car was unfair to you. Quite frankly, I’m just happy to have you home in one piece.” All attempts to escape from Damien’s clutches were fruitless for Picani, because it wasn’t long until he felt Damien’s hands carefully crawl their way under his shirt. Picani’s laughter quickly raised in laughter and volume.
There the devilish hands skittered across his tummy, but quickly stopped when Damien appeared to be searching for something. “Hmmm...where are my gloves?” Picani’s eyes widened through the subsiding giggles.
“Your...gloves?” Just then Damien spotted them from across the room sitting on the tv tray. Unfortunately, Damien could not grab them without releasing his hold on Picani and after a quick eyebrow wiggle, both boyfriends quickly ran. Picani away from whatever plan Damien had in mind, and Damien towards the gloves resting with the rest of his illusionist equipment.
Once he had grabbed his gloves, he quickly chased after his boyfriend, trying to put them on in the process. It was perfect timing, because just as Damien had found a way to put his gloves on while running, he had caught up to his still tired boyfriend and quickly encompassed him in a hug from behind.
“AAAAHhhh!! Nooo!!!” Damien picked up the beanpole and carried him back to the couch, despite the therapist’s half-hearted requests not to.
“Yeeeesss!” The illusionist drug his boyfriend onto the couch gently and laid down with him on top of him. The both could feel their cheeks heating up from the position, but the moment quickly subsided when Picani felt the velvet of the gloves brush their way back under his shirt and stroke even lighter on his ticklish tummy.
Picani about howled with laughter, thrashing just a little more, as the feel of the torturous gloves squeezed at his sides and his belly. His laughter became silent when the traitorous pinky he was afraid of, quietly entered his belly button and wiggled delightfully fast. The second hand only added to his torture and squeezed at his hips until tears were practically streaming out of Emile’s eyes. Only then did Damien slow his movements.
He gently rubbed the tickles away until it was one slow stroking glove, rubbing the other’s arms, torso, and stomach in what would be described as attempts to comfort and relax.
Finally, Damien broke the silence. “I didn’t tire you out too much did I?” Picani smiled lightly through the last of his subsiding giggles.
“Maybe just a little, but I’m a content tired now.” Damien pressed another kiss to his boyfriend’s neck.
“Hmmm...how ‘content’ tired, dear?” He watched Emile smile from the position they laid on the couch together.
“Content enough to fall asleep.”
“Not content enough to fall asleep before some cuddles though...right?” Damien grimaced hopefully, but it quickly dissolved into a kiss from therapist himself as he turned to face his ‘sometimes’ cute boyfriend.
“Nope. Never.” With a small squeal of delight, the illusionist quickly wrapped his arms around his lover and pulled him ever closer. And with Picani doing practically the same thing, the two cuddled the night away, until they finally fell asleep in each others arms.

Spencer and the kids used to go with you and then wait at the park across the street until you were done but you had decided that this time you could go alone. Spencer hugged you tightly before you left and said how proud of you he was, reminding you of your calming exercises for the waiting room, and to call him if you got too overwhelmed. Luckily, your anxiety had not gotten the better of you and your appointment went fine.
You could hear the opening notes to Golden by Harry Styles playing. Once the beat dropped, you heard Spencer say, “Okay, go babies, go!”
You rounded the corner to see Spencer conducting a dance party for the twins in their bouncy jumpers and Jo who was wearing her Rapunzel dress.
“Ollie,” Spencer crouched down to the rather stationary baby, “Look at your sisters! See, copy them! We’ll all bounce.”
While Ophelia was very audible and energetic, Ollie was more reserved. This concerned you and Spencer a bit because he would hardly cry and you had no idea what was going on with him or if he needed anything.
As Spencer backed up to start dancing as well, you pulled out your phone and hit record just in time to see Spencer accidentally bounce into the couch and trip and fall flat on his face.
Ollie giggled. Spencer shot up from the ground. Ollie had never done that before. Ophelia’s first laugh was a few weeks ago but nothing seemed to be funny enough for Ollie until his Daddy fell.
Spencer scrambled to get his phone, “Jo, can you record for Mommy? I’m going to fall again.”
You decided this was the time to make your presence known.
“That won’t be necessary,” you announced with a smile, ending the video you took.
“You heard?” Spencer beamed.
“Yep, got it on video too,” you walked over to the jumpers and lifted up Ollie, giving him a bunch of kisses, “You were really going to hurt yourself again just so I could have a video of our son laughing?”
“Absolutely, I was,” he grinned.
“You’re an idiot,” you chuckled.
“You’re the one who fell in love with an idiot,” he replied.
“I guess that makes us both idiots then,” you sighed happily.
“But idiots in love,” he kissed you.
You blew a raspberry and tickled Ollie’s little belly and he started giggling hysterically again.
-
Spencer was with twins on the floor on a blanket doing some ‘tummy time’ while Jo sat on the couch watching cartoons.
“Why can’t me and the babies come with you and Mommy for dinner like we usually do?” Jo asked.
“Because a year ago today, Mommy and I got married so we want to go out to a fancy restaurant and celebrate our love for each other. But, we’ll go out together as a family soon again and Uncle Derek and Auntie Penelope will be watching you tonight.”
“Okay,” Jo instantly agreed.
You clicked down the stairs in your high heels, carefully holding the railing. Spencer stood to help and offered his hand to you for support.
You were dressed in a midi A-line black corset dress with a white floral design.
“You look absolutely stunning as usual, my love,” he kissed your hand.
“As do you, my husband of officially a year,” you beamed.
He kissed you on the lips this time as the door opened.
“Kids night!” Penelope exclaimed, running into the house with Derek in tow. “I brought board games, ice cream, and every Disney movie DVD I own.”
“Auntie Penelope!” Jo hugged her and then Derek.
Then, Penelope turned to you both, “What are you guys still doing here?”
“Emergency numbers are on the fridge. We’ll both have our phones on the whole time,” you repeated the information you had told them many times before as you were pushed out the door by Penelope.
“Oh, also recent development!” Spencer added as he tried to resist Derek’s pushing, “The twins are avid crawlers now so if you set them down for a second and look away, they’ll be gone.”
“Good to know. Enjoy your night, you two,” Derek winked as he shut the door.
“So where are we going?” you asked as you walked hand and hand to the car.
Spencer opened the passenger side door for you, “We are going to the restaurant where we had our first date, my dear,” he smiled.
-
Spencer had rented a private patio for the two of you with lit candles, fairy lights, and a bouquet of wildflowers similar to the one you carried down the aisle a year ago.
You gasped when you saw the set-up, “I love you so much, Spencer Reid.”
“I love you more, Mrs. Reid.”
You and Spencer ordered the exact same dishes that you got on your first date for maximum nostalgia.
“There is something I wanted to talk to you about,” Spencer spoke mid-meal.
You set your fork down to show him he had your full attention.
“So I was thinking about what I want to do this summer. You’re off of work for the summer so we’ll both be home with the kids. I figured I should take up some sort of project to keep my mind stimulated,” he explained.
“Go on...” you took a sip of your wine.
“I think I want to become an author,” he stated.
“I think that’s a wonderful idea. Any idea what genre?” you smiled softly.
“At first, I was thinking about something related to my time at the BAU but then I realized I’ve had enough of that as is and I don’t feel like reliving it. Now, I’m thinking more along the lines of fiction because during all my years of schooling, I never really got to explore my creative side. I think a kid’s book could be fun for me to write. And I could work on it whenever the kids were napping or at school,” he explained to you.
“Whatever makes you happy, love. I can’t wait to read what that beautiful brain of yours comes up with,” you grinned, “This also makes my gift for you even better.”
“Y/N, we agreed no gifts,” he rolled his eyes playfully.
“It’s just something small that made me think of you,” you pouted, reaching into your purse.
You handed him something wrapped in a thin layer of pale purple tissue paper. Inside was a beautiful leather journal. It had a quote inscribed on it.
‘Do not be afraid; our fate cannot be taken away from us; it is a gift’ -Dante Alighieri
“You just saw this and happened to think of me?” he asked, amused, “How is it customized with our initials and wedding date then?”
“Fine,” you relented, “I ordered it off Etsy a while ago.”
“Good thing I also didn’t listen to our agreement,” he smirked, “But mine isn’t as sentimental and it’s really a gift for us both.”
“I’ll love it just the same,” you assured him.
“We are not going home tonight. The fairy godmother volunteered her and Derek’s services all night so I booked us a room at a bed and breakfast and I already packed you a bag in the backseat of the car.”
You started stuffing pasta into your mouth, “Eat faster. I want to go as soon as possible.”
Spencer chuckled at your eagerness.
-
Spencer felt you trying to sneak out of bed to get your phone.
“What are you doing?�� he mumbled at the loss of your warmth.
“I just want to check on the kids. This is our first night away from the twins,” you grabbed your phone, putting on Spencer’s button up, and facetiming Penelope.
She picked up on the second ring, “Hello, my lovely.”
“Hey, Pen. Are the kids behaving for you guys?”
“Yes. They’re all sleeping soundly now. Me and Derek are just binging episodes of The Bachelorette now.”
“That’s great to hear. No spoilers though!”
“How is your night going?” she inquired.
“It’s good, it’s good. Dinner was nice. The hotel is nice,” you tried to avoid the obvious.
“Y/N, your makeup is completely smudged and I can see the collar of Spencer’s shirt around your neck,” she replied.
You heard Derek laughing in the background, “Proud of you, lover boy.”
“Okay, we’ll see you in the morning,” Spencer hung up the phone for you.
“What did you do that for?”
“Round 2,” he smirked.

Steve with a pet rabbit
So I was writing in the tags as I do and I thought I was under the limit, but turn out I was definitely over since it cut me off so I decided to just give it its own post. So Have this headcanon for Steve and a pet Rabbit inspired by this picture.
  Steve with a pet bunny that he takes with him everywhere after Starcourt
 Like maybe Dustin suggests a pet after the Upside down shows up the second time and Billy smashes his face in because he can tell Steve needs something, he is not doing the best at coping.
 It leads to Steve and Dustin taking a trip to the local animal shelter, which goes fine for all of five minutes.
 As soon as they walking into the dog kennel Steve is panicking, he has to sit with his head between his knees, hands clutched over his ears outside for a solid twenty minutes before he can even think of going back inside.
 The cat section goes better as in Steve does not have a panic attack but he is only in there for a minute before blood is drawn.
 A playful kitten bites him and Steve decides he does not want a pet with so many sharp teeth or a carnivore at all, declares as much while Dustin smoothes cartoon bandages over the mark even though it has already stopped bleeding.
 Steve is ready to call it quits, what else is there other than cats and dogs, farm animals? Steve definitely doesn’t want to be cleaning up after a horse, where would he even keep it.
 The woman who works there offers to take him to the room they keep their less common animals, which for little Hawkins really just means not cats and dogs.
 Dustin is dragging Steve behind her before he can even think to protest.
 The room is not as big as the others, cages littering it and Dustin immediately abandons him to look at the small cluster of cages containing reptiles.
 She can read Steve's apprehension and instead directs him to the other side of the room, to cages containing an array of animals, various birds, ferrets, and guinea pigs.
 Steve keeps his distance, arms curled around himself, none of them speak to him not until they make it to the last cage.
 It is a decent sized tawny colored floppy eared bunny and Steve instantly likes it and it is the only one he has reach out to touch.
 The woman takes notice and is is quick to open the cage and offer the rabbit over for Steve to hold.
Steve hesitated for half a seconding unsure before he reaches out and takes it, clutching the fuzzy thing with care as he settles on the ground.
 It twitches and sniffs at him nose tickling his skin letting Steve pet it and when he settles it on the ground it does the same keeping close before settling against Steve’s knee and he is sold. 
He names it something dumb like Mr. Rabbiton and Dustin is like nope we ae not calling him that and scribbles the name out and replaces it with some name Steve is not even sure he can pronounce, refuses to even try.
 So Steve keeps calling him Mr. Rabbiton despite Dustin’s many protests.
 Dustin is right, having a pet does help, especially at night and when he gets lonely, Steve spends a lot of nights sleeping on the floor by the enclosure he set up for Mr. Rabbiton.
 After Starcourt though his anxiety gets even worse it is not just at night when it overwhelms him now, it is all the time.
So he starts bring his rabbit everywhere and people ask question and mock at first but Robin is nearly always around with a scathing remark that has them quickly leaving him alone.
 After the first time Keith helplessly watches Steve have a panic attack he never questions Mr. Rabbiton again and kicks people out if they do try messing with Steve.
 Steve totting his rabbit around become old news, people either ignoreing him or fawn over the fluff ball bringing snacks for him when they come in .
 Billy gets out of the hospital and government imposed quarantine after a year and a half quieter and more subdued, apologetic after therapy.
 He comes in to Family Video looking for Steve, one of the names on his list of apologies to make, Keith regards him with suspicion and Steve looks hesitant but pleased to see him up and about.
 Nervous sweat pricks at Billy's palms as he makes his way to the front counter, going over what to say in his head even though he rehearsed it in the mirror for hours.
 Steve is watching his approach and Billy breaks eye contact as soon as they make it, attention drawn to the rabbit Steve is petting to keep himself calm.
 Billy has heard all about Steve’s pet by now but this is his first time seeing it and he cannot help but find it cute.
Billy still has not worked up the nerve to speak, his own anxieties overwhelming him and Steve picks up on it.
 “Do you want to hold him? It helps, well it helps me" Steve offers with a shy little shrug gently nudging the rabbit toward Billy.
 Billy licks his lips and gives a short nod holding his hand out for the rabbit to sniff before moving in to pet when Mr. Rabbiton deems him acceptable.
 It takes fifteen minutes of holding and petting Mr. Rabbiton while Steve helps customers, joking around with Keith when he comes up to make small talk with Steve, more like keep an eye on Billy.
 Steve absently reaching out and rubbing Mr. Rabbiton’s ear, knuckles brushing Billy’s forearm before Billy finally works the shaky apology out of his throat.
 Steve accepts it because a lot has happened between then and now and Steve knows he was acting sketchy as hell that night.
 Billy keeps coming around after that using the excuse that he is just there to see Mr. Rabbiton and that might be a little true but mostly he comes in just to see Steve.
 Steve does not mind, likes Billy’s company now that he is not constantly looking for a fight and spitting poison.
 Mr. Rabbiton likes him and Billy is always good about making sure to give Steve his bun back before he gets real bad, develops a sixth sense for Steve’s bad days.
 It goes from just loitering at Family video to inviting himself to movie nights with Steve, Keith and Robin, and Dnd nights with the kids at Steve’s apartment.
 Billy spends more time with Steve and Mr. Rabbiton then he does at his own apartment, ignoring knowing looks from Robin and Keith who definitely give him a shovel talk despite the fact that he and Steve are very much not dating.
 Things shift when Mr. Rabbiton get sick, Billy right there with Steve holding his hand at the vets office, curling around Steve and holding him that night when the vet keeps the rabbit overnight for observation.
 Mr. Rabbiton is fine, just some stomach distress but Billy does not just leave.
 He keeps staying nights, keeps wrapping around Steve wishing it was as more than friends.
 Billy working up the nerve to take Steve on a date to finally tell him how he feels, invites Steve to a picnic up the coast.
 Steve lighting up like he is made of sunshine when Billy makes it a point to tell him to bring Mr. Rabbiton along.
 Billy is trying to work up the nerve to kiss Steve or just tell him how he feels, he has not decided on an approach yet, eyes on Mr. Rabbiton chewing on a wildflower, leash hooked around Steve’s foot when Steve makes the first move, hands going to Billy’s cheeks and pulling him close for a soft kiss.

Like a morning out of two, Beca wakes up to the steady beeping of her son’s heartbeat. She slowly sits up, wincing as she braces a hand over the painful twitch in her lower back from sleeping on that uncomfortable cot.
Her eyes fall on her sleeping son, so small and vulnerable in that large hospital bed. She pushes to her feet and leans over the railing, brushing her fingers through his auburn hair as she bends down to press a kiss to Dylan’s forehead.
The last year and a half has been an emotional whirlwind.
Dylan was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma right after his sixth birthday, and their whole world shifted on its axis. Chloe stopped teaching so she could take him to chemo and numerous doctor check-ups and Beca asked to only work part-time at the studio so she could spend more time with her family. Six months after the diagnosis, Dylan was in remission. Their happiness and relief were short-lived however, when signs of the illness showed up four months ago. The cancer was back. From LA, they moved to Philadelphia, where a doctor specialized in Hodgkin Lymphoma and Proton therapy.
Dylan’s body hasn’t been responding well to that type of treatment, and his body continued to shut down. He was admitted three weeks ago. The nurses and doctors on the peds ward are kind enough to let one parent stay over every night, so she and Chloe have been alternating night shifts at the hospital.
“Morning.” Beca’s pulled away from her thoughts by her wife’s voice. Chloe is standing in the doorway, two to-go cups balanced on one hand and a paper bag dangling from the other. The one who sleeps at home usually brings coffee and breakfast on the way in, as the hospital coffee tastes terrible. “How’s he doing?”
“Still asleep. Didn’t wake up through the night,” Beca says as Chloe steps further in, setting the items on the tray by Dylan’s bed before kissing Beca hello. Beca leans against her, releasing a sigh as she wraps an arm around her waist. Her eyes fall on the tote bag full of Christmas stuff set by the door. “What’s that?”
“I thought we should decorate, give this room a little holiday feeling.”
Beca smiles. “I think that’s a great idea.”
Once Dylan wakes up and the morning rounds are done, Beca and Chloe work around the room to hang the tinsels and Christmas lights, Christmas music playing through their portable speaker.
“What do you think, dude?” Beca asks when they’re done, lowering herself next to him and wrapping an arm around the seven-year-old’s shoulders as she takes in the newly-decorated room. “Did we do a good job?”
Dylan nods, a toothy grin spreading across his features. “Looks awesome.”
“I think so, too.” Beca presses a kiss to the side of his head. “I have to head to work, but I’ll be back for dinner, okay?”
“K.”
“Don’t destroy Mama at Mario Kart, alright?” She whispers, though she knows Chloe can hear her as she hangs the wreath on the door. “Let her win a couple times, at least.”
Dylan giggles while Chloe casts her a playful glare. Beca chuckles and pushes to her feet, brushing a quick kiss to Chloe’s lips on her way out. “See you later.”
It’s hard for her to truly focus at work when she knows her phone could go off any second if Dylan’s state suddenly worsens. She does her best to be present, but is immensely grateful when her boss assures her they’ll be fine if she leaves an hour early.
Like every night, they watch a movie or cartoon of Dylan’s choice while eating take-out, and read him a bedtime story before one of them has to leave.
“I love you,” Beca murmurs as she tucks the covers tighter around Dylan’s body. Leaving him at night is always the hardest, but they can’t both stay here.
“I love you too, Mommy.”
Chloe follows her out into the hall, where they have their only private moment of the day.
“I hate this,” Chloe whispers into their embrace. “I hate that one of us has to leave.”
“I know. Me too,” Beca mutters, her palm rubbing soothing circles over Chloe’s back as she soaks in her wife’s warmth. “I’ll be back early tomorrow morning.”
“You should get some more sleep,” Chloe says as she pulls away, cradling Beca’s cheek gently. “You’re exhausted, baby.”
Beca inhales sharply, cursing under her breath when a few tears escape the corners of her eyes. She can’t contradict Chloe; balancing work with their situation is exhausting, but they can’t afford to both be on leave. Bills still need to be paid, even when their son is extremely sick. “I’m terrified to miss your call if something happens.”
“You won’t,” Chloe murmurs. She catches the tear drops with the pad of her thumb and presses a lingering kiss to Beca’s forehead. They’re each other’s rocks. One is always there to anchor the other on tough days. “And he seems okay tonight.”
Beca nods. “I know. I just-- I can’t stop thinking of how unfair it all is. He doesn’t deserve any of this, Chlo.”
Chloe doesn’t say anything, probably because there’s nothing to be said. She hugs Beca a bit tighter, and they remain that way for long minutes, wordlessly giving each other as much comfort as they can despite the circumstances.
“I love you so much,” Beca whispers when she eventually lets go of her wife, taking Chloe’s hand and brushing a kiss to her knuckles.
“I love you, too. Send me a text when you’re home?”
“I will.”
The amazing team of nurses at Philly’s Children Hospital turn the pediatric ward into a Christmas Wonderland over the next few days. Service dogs come hang out with the young patients and Santa even visits to give out presents on Christmas Eve day.
It gets even better when Dylan’s favorite nurse swings by towards the end of the day to tell them that, since it’s Christmas Eve, they’re both allowed to spend the night at the hospital. Dylan gets to stay up an hour longer, facetiming with Chloe’s parents who are back on the west coast. Once he’s asleep, Beca sneaks in his presents and lies them in front of the tiny plastic Christmas tree they managed to tuck in the corner of the room.
She slides under the covers next to her wife a few minutes later, puffing out a content sigh. It’s the first time in a month that they get to sleep in the same bed, and Beca’s missed it more than she realized.
“He had a good time tonight,” Chloe whispers as Beca absentmindedly strokes her forearm while they cuddle on the twin sized cot.
“Yeah, I think so. Tomorrow is going to be even better. I’ll go get donuts and hot chocolates across the street before he wakes up.”
“Good idea.” Chloe smiles and nuzzles her cheek. “I wish we could get him a puppy.”
It was the plan up until Dylan was admitted. But the pet wouldn’t be able to stay in the hospital, and it would spend most of the days on its own in their empty house.
“Next year,” Beca says softly. Her heart physically hurts, because she knows another year is not guaranteed, but she can’t afford to let go of her hopes, or else she'll crumble. “We’ll get him one next year.”
Chloe nods, blinking back tears. “Okay.”
They wake Dylan up with a kisses and tickle attack in the morning, his giggles warming Beca's mind and soul.
“Merry Christmas, baby,” Chloe murmurs, letting up on the tickling as she kisses Dylan’s cheek. “Looks like Santa came by last night.”
Dylan gasps as he follows his Mama’s gaze to the tree surrounded by presents.
Beca pushes to her feet to get a couple, setting them on Dylan’s lap. They maybe went a little overboard with gifts, and some parents would probably call him spoiled, but after all he’s been through, Beca doesn’t give a flying fuck.
They play with his new toys for the rest of the day, and if Beca closes her eyes and shuts out the hospital sounds for a minute, focusing on her son's laughter, it almost seems like he's not sick.
It almost seems like things might be okay.
For a minute.
