heyyy! missed you a lot omg 😭😭😭💖 do you write for all jake characters? i was thinking of something like, detective loki has a very sensible and sweet girlfriend and she loses a pet and he comforts her while she's going through it. a very sad but also really soft and cute because of how much he takes care of her
Hii, angel!! I missed you too!! 🥺❤
I think the only characters I wouldn't write for would be Jack Twist (cause I only write female readers), like bubble boy lol, and Jeff Bauman (cause he's a real person, I think it would be weird). But except from those, I believe I would write for all! And I ADORED your request because Detective Loki is my absolute favorite character ever, the actual love of my life, think about him all the time <3
Warnings: the absolute cutest thing I ever wrote, hurt/comfort, pet death, sad as heck (my cat was making biscuits on my belly as I wrote it, I almost cried), a few swear words, buuut with tons and tons of fluff <3
Like 2k words
I named the dog Nugget because nothing makes me happier than pets with food names 😭
_____
Knowing that day would come couldn't make it any easier. You just lost your childhood best friend. Someone who has always been there and... the fact he won't be anymore is almost unbelievable.
David had been by your side through the whole process. When Nugget started getting sick, he rushed him to the vet countless times. On his last days, David would always come home with a million treats and pillows, and blankies, everything to make your baby as comfortable and happy as possible. When you and David started dating, Nugget was part of the package. He had never had a dog before, but once you moved in, bringing yours along, he went full dog dad mode.
"No, don't worry, you should get some rest..." he would say, as an excuse to be the one to take Nugget on a walk or play with him.
And it really went both ways, Nugget was absolutely IN LOVE with David. He would wait for David to come home for hours by the door, and never leave his side when he does. You were jealous at first, but it was really adorable... having a dog really helped Dave with his stress.
But now... now the house felt so empty. Even though David was extremely heartbroken, he knew he had to stay strong for you.
He helped you bury Nugget on a special place with all the things he loved, and have a little funeral, where he made sure to say a few words, cause he knew you couldn't.
The day after the funeral, you woke up after noon, and could barely open your eyes from crying all night. You heard noises coming from the kitchen. Weird... David should be at work.
You walked downstairs to check. You found him cursing at something in the oven.
"Dave?" You called softly.
"Love?" He answered, pretending he had everything under control. "Hi, did you... did you get some sleep?"
"I did. Shouldn't you be at work?" You asked confusingly.
"I... yeah, it's just..." He sighed. "I didn't want to leave you here alone, I took the day off."
"You took the day off?" Your eyes widened. "David, you worked on Christmas. And on Thanksgiving. And on your birthday. And..."
"I know." He interrupted. "I'm sorry, baby... I know I work too much. But I thought... you might need some company."
His words seemed to hit both of you at the same time. It was always Nugget who kept you company during David's countless working hours. Now everything would be so much worse... not only you would be without David, you would be completely alone...
Your eyes filled with tears. He rushed to your side.
"Hey hey hey..." he held you tightly. "It's okay, baby, you won't be alone, okay? We'll figure it out."
You allowed him to hold you, closing your eyes and trying to just feel that moment. You needed to cry, you needed to hurt, and he knew that. It's part of the process and he would be right there until you were strong enough to carry on. As he held you, you could feel his warm embrace. His heart beating softly as he breathed slowly. His soft belly and strong arms. The smell of... what was that smell?
"Dave?" You wiped your tears and looked at him. "There's something... burning?"
"Oh, FUCK!" He rushed back to the oven, quickly turning it off.
"What's going on?" You followed him.
"I was... I was trying to bake a cake. Just... to make you feel better, and you weren't eating, I thought that maybe... oh, fuck, I knew I should just buy something, but I didn't want to leave you here and go out, then..."
He stopped his rambling immediately when he looked at you. You were... smiling?
"Dave, you're the best, I swear." You hugged him from behind, giggling.
"Wait, hold on..." he chuckled. "I fucked up."
"You didn't." You explained to him. "I didn't need a cake, I needed someone to care this much about me."
"Y/N..." he turned around to face you, staying inside your embrace. "You have no idea how much I care about you... you are my everything."
"I love you, Dave. I don't know how I would do this without you."
"You won't do this without me, I'll be right here, okay?"
"I don't know..." you shrugged, feeling the pain coming back to your chest. "I feel like it's not gonna go away... ever."
"I know." He sighed, caressing your hair. "I'm gonna miss him too. But I just know he was the luckiest dog who ever lived. To be loved this much by you, to grow up by your side... I just know he lived his best life."
"He did." You allowed yourself to smile again. "He was so happy. Specially after you came along."
David had to fight his emotions. He felt a little sting in his heart. He loved his little family, but he felt so undeserving of all that love. He thought about how Nugget got attached to him so quickly and he couldn't understand why. Just like he couldn't understand why burning a cake was the only thing that made you feel better, after all he tried... maybe love was still a little bit of a foreigner concept for him to understand. But maybe that was the point... as a detective, he was always trying to understand everything, and maybe love wasn't something to be understood... all he knew was that it was all over that kitchen.
-----
Weeks passed and you were still healing. You still cried sometimes, but you were starting to accept it.
David had to go back to work, of course. Lives depended on him and keeping him home made you feel worse. At first, he took it slow. Didn't work as much as he used to. But as he started to go back to his normal rotine, you realized it would be harder than you thought.
After one particularly stressful day, around 1am, he went back to his car, ready to go home.
He started the car. Then paused. He could swear something moved on the backseat. He turned around and inspected it for a moment. There was nothing there, he was probably just exhausted.
He started driving. Something moved again.
"What the fuck..." he murmured, keeping his eyes on the mirror.
That's when a pair of yellow eyes looked back at him.
"Shit!" His eyes widened.
It was a kitten. As black as the seats, which is why he couldn't see it before. He left the car windows open and the kitten must have jumped in...
What the fuck was he gonna do now? He couldn't leave the kitten on the streets. But he couldn't take it home either... he had no idea how you would react, you were still sad about Nugget...
His mind raced until he got home, trying to decide what to do.
He had an idea.
As soon as he parked the car, he grabbed a box, put an old jacket of his inside it and placed it in the garage. He went back to the car and grabbed the kitten. He didn't realize how small it was before, but it fit in his hand. The kitten started purring as soon as David's hand made contact with it.
"Oh my god..." he murmured. He had never held a kitten in his life... he probably didn't even know they... vibrated.
He placed the kitten inside the box.
"Okay... I'll see what I'll do with you in the morning."
As soon as he turned his back, the kitten jumped out of the box, following him. It ran between David's legs, making him trip.
"Fuck!" He tried not to fall, at the same time as he tried not to step on the cat, that was the size of his boot. "Listen... you need to stay here, I'll figure out what to do with you in the morning, okay?"
He picked the cat back up, putting it inside the box again.
It jumped out. Of course.
On the 5th time that happened, David just sat on the floor, absolutely exhausted. He rested his face on his hands, cursing his luck. The kitten climbed up his legs and laid down.
David was starting to wonder if he was gonna have to sleep on the garage that night. That's when the door opened.
He and the cat looked at you with a terrified expression.
"I can explain." He said, with the most desperate look you had ever seen on his face.
"OH.MY.GOD." You gasped and brought your hand to your mouth.
"He followed me... I've been trying to get home for half an hour, I swear, he won't let me, I..."
"David." You looked at him with tears in your eyes. "You've been chosen."
"What do you mean?" He was trying to figure out if you were happy or upset. "I'm gonna take him somewhere tomorrow, I'll just..."
"David!" You kneeled next to the kitten, offering your hand for it to smell, and it immediately headbutted your hand. "Don't you dare say something like that, you're his father now..."
"Y/N..." he got even more desperate after hearing the word 'father'.
"This is the most affectionate kitten I've ever seen in my life..." you continued petting the small kitten, who was now loafing on David's leg. You picked it up to look for any signs that it might be hurt or sick. "It's a girl, by the way..."
"It's a girl..." he repeated, trying to process everything.
"You think...?" You got excited for a second, then calmed down. "Well, nevermind."
"Tell me what's on your mind, baby." David gave you space, as you sat beside him, holding the kitten on your lap.
"I... I was wondering if we could... keep it." You kept petting the kitten, who looked very relaxed. "But I understand if you don't want to... I mean, I know I've been a pain in the ass since Nugget is gone, and you probably won't want to go through that again..."
"Y/N, you haven't been a pain in the ass for a second in your life. I love you." He laughed. "I just... didn't know if you were ready yet."
"Well, I..." you thought about it for a second. "I didn't think I was. But... she chose you, it just... happened. I mean... I know it's hard to lose a pet we love, but... there are others out there who deserve a loving home too, you know? Like Nugget had. And there are so many animals suffering on the streets... specially cats..."
"You know what?" He smiled, really proud of you. "I think this is what Nugget would have wanted."
"DOES THAT MEAN SHE'S OURS?" You spoke excitedly.
"She's ours." He shrugged.
The kitten stood up, stretching and walking from your lap to David's, where she laid down again.
"She LOVES you..." you felt the tears starting to fall. It was so exciting that David would be there since day one for the kitten's life... with Nugget was different, and he deserved this. "She chose you."
"She's... vibrating again..." he raised his eyebrows.
"SHE'S PURRING, DAVID, YOU ARE HER DAD!"
"Jesus Christ..." he sighed, wondering what the fuck he got himself into.

SFW ALPHABET W/ DONNIE DARKO
༶•┈┈୨♡୧┈┈•༶
Hey everyone! decided to do the sfw alphabet thing, i got rid of a few that felt unneeded or like id already partially answered them. hope you enjoy my loves <3
Tumblr media
-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Donnie as a very socially awkward and emotionally repressed person would be awkward with affection at first, i think he’d want to hug and kiss you and be cuddly but get nervous of freaking you out or scaring you. He has the mentality that he’s abit of a freak so he’ll project that unfortunately. However as time goes on and he learns to trust and feel your love he will become very affectionate.
He definitely enjoys hugs from behind whether it’s from you or him, not only is it cozy feeling but he occasionally likes to surprise you and give you a little scare because he’s a tease
Donnie also and obviously enjoys handholding and kissing, he’ll make sure to hold your hand wherever you go!
He isn’t particularly scared of PDA, he won’t do anything extreme but i feel like he’s a little unaware of his surroundings sometimes so he’ll happily go for a kiss or a hug in the middle of the street.
Donnie feels most comforted at home, away from people and with you. He’ll be extra cuddly then, whether it’s laying on your chest or getting his hair stroked he’ll love the attention and warmth you bring to him and he’ll do the exact same for you.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Donnie would probably be abit emotionally unavailable as a best friend not going to lie, i think he’d have a hard time differentiating between why a best friend is different to a normal friend… “shouldn’t you treat your friends all the same?”
However after awhile it’d be clear to him that you’re a trustworthy and good person, he’d open up to you about a few of his more… complicated problems and may even impulsively tell you some weird things during his episodes
The friendship would begin probably with you initiating it through some sort of party or maybe at school, at first he’d be a little distant and non chalant but after awhile he would have a genuine interest in your hobbies, life, personality etc
He’d probably feel most comfortable just hanging out in his room listening to music or playing video games maybe even reading or studying together.
He’d be loyal aswell, and open to listening to your problems as he out of all people would know what it feels like to have problems.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
Cuddling with friends or family? absolutely not. But with a lover it’s a completely different story.
He’ll try to smoothly initiate it but end up accidentally saying or doing something silly and you’ll both laugh it off
He’s clingy aswell, not at first but as time goes on it’ll show, even during the hottest of summer nights he’ll try to link hands together as you sleep.
He looooves when you initiate it first, not just because he’s shy but it shows you want him and that’s all he needs to feel appreciated
I can imagine you two both standing together at a bus stop on a cold snowy day, cuddling together with his face buried in your hair to keep warm.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Donnie definitely wants to settle down at some point, i don’t see him having commitment issues but more so the complete opposite. Once he’s found the one he won’t let go and will do his best to be a good boyfriend OR husband despite his mental health.
Donnie would be a little messy about cleaning, he’s not lazy (most of the time) and i think he’d want the cleaning and cooking duties to be equal on both parts so he’d be happy to learn to cook for you.
During possible depressive or psychotic episodes he would require you to be a little more understanding on why he may not be perfect at keeping everything clean, he’d apologise in embarrassment but surely you’d understand <3
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Donnie would be terrible at breakups, i think he’s the type to dump and ghost and never speak again unfortunately.
He’d do the right thing by at least talking it out in person, but it would be an awkward conversation for sure and relatively fast paced as he wouldn’t know what to say afterwards.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Donnie would probably not really actually care at least too much about marriage, he wants it but he won’t be asking to marry you straight away.
That being said that doesn’t mean he’s not committed to you, he’s all yours and he expects the same from you!
I can imagine it wouldn’t take long before he pops the question out, maybe at a pretty looking park or dinner date where he makes the effort to have everything be lovey dovey and romantic.
I can imagine late night conversations in bed with him, and him suddenly bringing up the idea of marriage. “do you see us together in the future y/n?”
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Donnie is an absolute gentle soul towards you, he’s never violent or rough and is absolutely terrified of hurting or scaring you.
He gets easily frustrated and annoyed but is quick to apologise and stop if you tell him he needs to calm down
Occasionally donnie will enjoy a little play fighting or a little pinch to give you a shock, but most of the time he prefers to just be gentle with you.
Emotionally donnie tries his best to be gentle, however he’s filled with sarcasm and is a little bit of a meanie, it’ll show and if you tell him you don’t appreciate it he’ll try his best to repress himself. Otherwise if you enjoy it he’ll probably like that and ramp it up a little more for the banter factor.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Donnie’s hugs depend on where you are.
In public places his hugs will usually be casual and quick, he’ll probably give you a kiss on the forehead too during it.
In more private places he’ll be much more relaxed and give you long and heartfelt hugs, kind of bear hug like in a sense. He might rough up your hair and give you lots of kisses during it aswell.
Donnie is always happy to receive a hug from you too, he won’t mind how long they are or how intense you are about it. He just likes that you want to give him one in the first place!
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Donnie doesn’t really understand social norms like waiting 3 months to say i love you, if he’s with you in the first place that means he loves you. So it’ll probably take less than a week for him to announce it to you, maybe even on the same day you get together. He’s fast paced with his emotions and words and is quite blunt about it.
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Oh boy do i have opinions on this.
Donnie will get jealous and he’ll definitely ruminate and stress on it, HOWEVER he will not blame you for it unless you’re showing signs of cheating.
When he’s jealous it’ll take him a few days before he really admits it, in the mean time he’ll be a little distant and more sad looking than usual. He’ll ask for validation from you like a sad little puppy whilst not even being open about why he’s asking for it in the first place. The next stage will be him getting a little snarky about whatever’s made him jealous which is where you’ll realise what’s happened.
Donnie is a paranoid person, but for you he knows to try tone it down. If you realise he’s jealous and just comfort and explain to him that he doesn’t have to be, he’ll immediately feel comforted and better about it. Just don’t keep him waiting on it.
I think during his episodes he’ll be a little more aggressive about it but as i said all he wants is the confirmation that you only want him.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
It’s hard to tell with donnie whether his kisses are going to end up in a rough and steamy make out sesh or if it’s gonna be just a quick little peck. Either way he’ll make sure to kiss you on the regular!
Donnie’s favourite places to kiss you are
Your lips (ofc) your forehead your cheeks your neck your stomach and thighs and literally anywhere else. lol.
Donnie personally likes to be kissed in those exact places too, especially his neck. it gives him butterflies.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
Hmmm as a teen obviously he just likes to tease and make fun of them, especially his little sister.
But as he gets older and as he’s stated himself he definitely wants to have kids, he’d only have them if he was mentally well enough to handle them though.
That being said if he did have them and was mentally well, he’d been a kind of “cool dad” if you get what i mean. Not afraid to be honest and direct with his kids about the world, maybe occasionally make a silly more adult joke or swear around them. He’d want them to be emotionally intelligent and know how to navigate though their world, so he’d be cautious about the media and information they consume.
He’d also defend them against school authority probably lol. Even if they’re in the wrong and they’ve done something stupid he’ll be the first to say it’s not a big deal.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
“Nooo ten more minutes” type of energy here. you will not be leaving that bed until he’s ready!
If hes in his bed cuddling you he’s as happy as can be, he loves to stare and admire how you look when you’re sleeping so he always hopes to wake up before you.
Once he’s out of bed he’s abit of a grump for the next hour or so, he enjoys it if you happen to make breakfast for him but it’s not a big deal if you don’t.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
There’s a variety of things donnie wouldn’t mind doing at night, he’s kind of an all cards type of guy when it comes to it since the vibes of night just suit his needs perfect
Watching movies in his room or at the cinema Listening to music Reading Cuddling and kissing Other.. not so safe for work stuff.. Night walks and star gazing
Donnie loves any time he can spend with you really, he’s not in a rush to go to sleep so he’ll stay up all night with you if that’s what you want.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Donnie is not one too get easily angered, with you that is. Normally he’s very easily riled up about how the world is cruel and everyone in it sucks. But with you he has an unbelievable amount of patience, he’ll retort with sarcasm but is a natural problem solver and is always ready to talk it out.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Donnie comes off as absent minded, but he will remember every single little detail about you. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a little notebook or journal filled with information about you and your likes, dislikes, random facts and etc.
Donnie’s the type of person to know and remember facts about you that you’ve long forgotten, he’ll buy you a t-shirt of a band that you mentioned liking three years ago and haven’t said anything about since.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Donnie is definitely a protective boyfriend, it comes from his paranoid outlook on the world. He would never forgive himself if you got hurt and he wasn’t there to protect you.
Although he isn’t a bodybuilder or anything he’ll speak up for you and maybe even resort to a little violence. (or if he’s feeling really crazy he’ll pull a gun out like in the movie)
As for you protecting him.. he’d appreciate you standing up for him but insist he doesn’t need it, if anything it’d make him a little embarrassed.
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Donnie would definitely put effort into you, the fact that you’re with him in the first place amazes him and he doesn’t plan on losing you to laziness.
Most dates will be casual, if he feels like he wants to treat you to something nicer he’ll work hard for it. His love language is primarily physical touch and gift giving imo, so when he works he has a tendency to work just so he can provide for you since he has such simple needs himself.
As for everyday tasks, he believes in equality surrounding that type of thing. But if he notices you’re in a poor mood or feeling sad he’ll put in the effort to make sure you don’t need to strain yourself.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
The most obvious one here is his fluctuating and poor mental health, mental illness isn’t pretty. There’ll be times where he needs you at his lowest and he might push you away during it. That’s when you need to be there for him the most.
He also tends to be absent minded with your feelings, he might say or do something that makes you upset and not realise until you say something about it. This isn’t personal, he’s just very straightforward.
He’s definitely a little possessive too, not to the point where you’re unsafe but he’s terrified of losing you.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
This one is an interesting case.
He isn’t really worried with his looks but definitely has abit of a freak complex due to his illness and unpopularity at school, he’ll appreciate when you compliment him. he needs it.
He might ask you what he can do to be more attractive, or if you’re really into him, the answer is obviously yes but he really could do with an ego boost.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Donnie isn’t interested in superficial people, if you can’t have an interesting discussion with him he’ll be turned off immediately. He also enjoys someone who’s at least somewhat reliable, you can have your own issues and mental illness but at the end of the day if you’re a complete mess in all areas he may just end up feeling like he can’t give you what you need.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
Besides the obvious sleep walking, donnie is a heavy sleeper. He doesn’t snore or anything but he definitely mumbles and grumbles throughout the night, he also will unconsciously hug and cuddle you for warmth.
Donnie may also experience frequent nightmares, if he wakes up from a really bad one he might wake you up for comfort

I have a toxic ex I broke up with almost ten years ago. Periodically he has contacted me over the years. I've told him to stop. He did it again. Not going into much more detail, it's personal.
But now I really want to read fanfciton. And you know what would be great self fulfillment and self indulgent fanfic? A young Erik Lehnsherr, or a Bucky Barnes, or Loki Odinson, or David 8, or Walter (Alien: Covenant) or TASM Peter Parker fanfic about OC or reader's ex not leaving them alone, and how Erik or Bucky or Loki or David 8 or Walter or TASM Peter Parker (oh, or Wanda Maximoff, or young Charles Xavier, even) would deal with it and what they would do. Anyone have one? Or want to write one for me? Pretty please? Let me know. Comment below. Thank you!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Chapter 4 <3
The cold November wind bit at my cheeks as I walked down the street, tote bags in hand. I was walking down the street to the local grocery store. I had really underestimated how cold it would be up here on the northern part of the East Coast. Pulling my jacket closer to me, I look up at the sky and let out a shaky breath. 
After Detective Loki had left the other night, I made myself busy with house chores and ordered Chinese takeout for Mark and I. He came home and pretty much left me alone, which I was used to. I couldn't complain, though. It was easier to be left alone than to be pestered by a man-child that I wasn't even sure I loved anymore. 
It was a hard task, hiding all of my subconscious smiles from him when thinking about Detective Loki. I knew that if he saw me smiling to myself like an idiot for no reason at all, he'd know something was up. As much as I wanted to settle down and start a new chapter in this sleepy little town, I wanted so bad to get away from Mark. I needed to get away from him. I wanted to go to New York City, become a freelance writer and live my dream. Or just start it somewhere, at least. Some place where I couldn't be found.  And with the sea of bustling people in New York, it seemed like the perfect place. I would maybe even travel, or find love somewhere in the breezy countryside of Paris, France. It's a cliché dream, but it's what I wanted, and what I strived for. I smiled to myself thinking of traveling with Detective Loki, but I shot it down instinctively. I didn't even know the man. Before I met Mark, I had aspirations. I had a heart full of love and gave it to the first person who asked. And it got me nowhere good. I didn't want to make the same mistake again.
With my jean-covered legs being on auto-pilot and my mind elsewhere, I reached the main street pretty fast. Watching the bustle of the neighborhood brought me a small joy. I strolled past some city workers putting up Christmas decorations. I wondered if I could get out by Christmas. But as much as the thought of leaving to New York City so soon appealed to me, I wanted to take a break from being so on edge. Mark was working nearly all day, and I usually had the house to myself, to do whatever I wanted until I would start my new job. I made a mental note to myself to keep myself calm, and stay on Mark's good side if I wanted my temporary stay here to be the least bit enjoyable. 
I took a deep breath, and inhaled the crispy winter air that smelled of wet leaves and café food. Entering the market, I grabbed a shopping cart and headed to the first isle I saw. I planned on walking around for a good bit, getting to know the market and what I could bring home all by myself. I need to invest in a car, once I start working. I can't rely on him to take me everywhere. i thought to myself. 
Walking mindlessly throughout the isles, I reached the frozen section where I planned on rummaging. I loved to cook, I thought of it as an art. I cooked all the time when Mark and I first started dating. He loved my cooking, and that was one of the first things we did together once we made our relationship official. We loved to do it together. But now, I couldn't bring myself to put as much love into it as I used to. I missed it. 
I picked up some frozen garlic toast, pondering making Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner, when I heard a familiar voice behind me. 
"I personally like the New York Bakery brand. Or better yet, homemade." I turned and was face-to-face with Detective Loki. He was wearing a black winter coat, zipped up to his jaw, covering that neck tattoo that I liked to stare at. His hair was slicked back and neat as always, and his smell instantly drifted towards my direction. I remembered not to sniff so hard this time. 
"Oh! It's you" I say with a toothy grin and a chuckle. "Yeah, I make a bomb garlic toast from scratch, but I'm not in a huge cooking mood today, you know how it is." I toss the toast into my cart with a shrug, leaning on my shopping cart to face him. 
"Trust me, I understand." He looks at me with a sarcastic smile, motioning to his shopping basket, filled with instant ramen noodles and a case of energy drinks. I let out a hearty laugh, feeling heat rise up to my cheeks. As funny as it was, I felt bad for him. I could tell he needed a better diet, especially with the hard work and long hours he does.
"How's everything going? With the case, you know." I say, my smile fading. I couldn't even imagine the pain this case was causing everyone. Detective Loki included. It must have been why his diet only consisted of instant noodles and energy drinks. 
"Oh. You know. It's been rough on everyone. The first 48 hours always is. We're holding the first search party tonight, if you want to come on by and help the girls' families out. I'm sure they'd appreciate it." 
"Yeah, I'd love that. I'm sorry,  haven't heard about it on the news or anything. Haven't invested in a TV just yet, haha." I say with a light giggle. "What time is the search party?" I look up at his eyes, feeling a rush of heat through my body. He made eye contact with me, taking a second to respond, his eyes blinking a couple times before he spoke.
"At 6. It's about a quarter to. You can stop by at the station and we'll be handing out vests and gear and all that stuff." I was more than happy to help out. I wanted to try my best and help these families find their daughters. If it were my child, I'd want people to do the same. 
"Sounds good. " I smile and a nod. "I'll walk home and drop this stuff off and I'll be on my way. My place is probably a 15 minute walk from here." I say, tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. 
"Let me drive you." He says in a firm tone. I hesitated for a second, "No, I couldn't ask you to do that. I don't live that far." I say with a nervous chuckle.
"Don't mention it." He says, waving a hand in dismissal. "It's cold out, and you've got a lot of groceries to handle. It's the least I can do." He says with a gentle smile. "You can count this as a favor returned for that great coffee you made me." He says. I couldn't help but smile at his absolute charm. His vibe was so comforting. I wanted to give him a hug and never let go. 
"I'll go ahead and checkout, and I'll meet you in the front of the store. Sound good?" He says. I didn't even get a chance to refuse it. He was so persistent in helping me. I loved that about him already. I didn't feel a tiny bit guilty wanting to get into his car and talk a bit more, even if it was for a short time before he had to get back to work. 
"Alright then" I say in happy defeat. "I'm almost done here." I mention towards the isle of frozen foods.
"No worries, take your time." He says strolling away into the next isle.
...
Lugging my bags of groceries to the front of the store, I feel a hand on my back and a woman's voice speak out to me.
"Miss, let me help you with that. You've got an awful lot of groceries there for such a small lady." She says with a chuckle. I turn to face her, and I'm face to face with an average height woman, who looks to be in her fifties. She had frizzy graying hair, and some outdated glasses. What's with these people and their 80's glasses?  I think to myself. 
"Oh, it's alright, thank you so much. I've got someone to help me, but thanks so much for the offer, umm..."
"Holly. Holly Jones. And no, I insist. Let me help you carry this to your car, please." She was insistent on helping me, and wouldn't let me say no. Her persistence caught me off guard and put me off a bit, but I was stuck in a position where I couldn't leave, or decline her offer. I clearly wasn't able to carry them alone. 
"That's alright, Mrs. Jones. I can help her carry them." Detective Loki walked up to us, slightly waving a hand in dismissal in Holly's direction. She looked up at him above her glasses, a frown plastered on her wrinkled face.
"Ahhh. Detective...Loki, was it? The man who let my son be attacked by a deranged man." She said in a low tone. I didn't know what she was talking about, but I could feel the tension rising. "Say, Detective, did you arrest that man for assault? I would hope so, considering your reputation around here." She says, looking around. There wasn't many people left in the store, but the cashiers were starting to take notice of the situation forming. 
Embarrassed, I looked at Detective Loki, his eyes blinking rapidly and his brows furrowing. He bends down to grab my bags, and avoids eye contact with the woman. "Let's go, Cass." He says harshly. God, I loved the way my name rolled off of his tongue. I follow after him, looking back at the woman who had a smug smirk on her face, both hands gripping her shopping cart handle.
"He wouldn't be in this position if he kept his daughter on a tighter leash, Detective." She says in his direction. I look at him, the anger rising up to his face, and his eyes blinking. As he seems to do when he's thinking hard about something, or angry in this case. I instinctively put a hand on his bicep, trying to bring him back down to himself. I feel the outline of his muscles in my palm, feeling the sweat starting to rise in my hands. I give his arm a small squeeze, out of my own selfish curiosity. 
"Please, Loki. She's just taunting you. It's just pettiness. Let it go, okay? Let's go. We've got those girls to look for." I say softly, with sorrowful eyes. I placed a gentle hand on the space between his muscular shoulders. He seemed to relax into my touch a bit, so I gave him a gentle rub and let go. I felt extremely bad, feeling as if it were my fault that I had put him in that position. He looks at me, and then speaks. 
"You're right. Let's go." He took a deep breath, letting out a shaky breath. I could tell he was still angry, just trying to hide it as best as he could. Male rage was my specialty, and being with Mark taught me to learn the ins and outs of body language when it came to them about to lose control of themselves. 
We walked to the car in silence. It wasn't so much awkward, but it was a tension-filled moment that put us in a weird silence. As we loaded the trunk with the grocery bags, I looked up to Detective Loki. "Are you alright? I know that was...something." I say, trying to lighten the mood. 
"Yeah, I..I'm alright. Stuff like that just doesn't make this job easy when there's so much pressure. You know?" He says with a gentler tone, distancing his stare. "I'm trying my hardest here. I'm human too." His words made me want to wrap him in a warm blanket, and rip him away from all of his worries.
"Yeah. I get it. It's so hard on you already, I don't understand the lack of empathy some people have." I say, nodding my head in understanding. He looks at me and smiles, nodding his head also. 
"You get it. That's refreshing to know." 
We both get inside of the car, rubbing our hands together and scrambling to turn the car's heat on. 
"Thank you, Loki. You didn't have to do this, you know." 
"David. You can call me David." He says, pressing the Heat button on the dashboard. "And it's no worries. I'll be damned if I let you walk home alone in the cold and dark with that many bags. How would you defend yourself with your hands full?" He says quietly, looking directly at me. He looked my face up and down, his eyes landing on my lips. When he lowered his tone, I felt a tingle between my legs. His voice was so gentle, so charming. I wanted him to whisper sweet nothings in my ear. 
Still looking at me, he chuckles and puts the car into drive. 
"Don't know, David. Guess I'll need a knight in shining armor to defend me, huh." I say sarcastically. 
"I wonder who that is" He says invitingly. 
We both let out shy laughter and with that, we were off to my place.

Hi do you take requests for Detective David Loki? He was in the movie prisoners, if you do take requests would you write about him coming home after a long day to just want to lay down in bed with his partner. You can add anything else you would like.
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Light of My Life | Detective David Loki x GenderNeutral!Reader
Hey there! Okay, so, technically I don't write for him - or at least I didn't, lol (I am now). I didn't have him listed, but Jake Gyllenhaal was the reason I first watched the movie a few years ago, so I might as well! Anyway, thanks for the request, and I hope you like what I've done with it! <3
summary; See above.
notes; Gender Neutral!Reader; Implied/Referenced Murder; Implied Depression; Emotional Hurt/Comfort; Cuddling; Fluff; Short Fic.
Getting out of his car, opening the door, walking inside and letting his keys fall in place on the little table in the hallway felt like chore after chore. It was as though it all took a lot more effort than it really needed. He was drained. Exhausted. It had settled deep into his bones by then. 
David has had a tough case on his hands lately. He had solved it today, but not without any dead bodies. Not without any blood on his hands. He felt a piece of his soul die with it. How much of it was still left anyway? 
The only light in his life was you. 
Coming home to you was what kept him going. Helping people was what motivated him to keep working, to go outside every day. But you were the sole reason why he hadn’t given up altogether and why days like this hadn’t pulled him down and under with them entirely yet. He could only save so many after all. 
“David?” you asked, rounding the corner to the hallway, which he still stood in, frozen to the spot. 
Blinking rapidly, David nodded, swallowing thickly.
“Yeah, hi! Sorry, I was just- I was lost in my own head for a minute there,” he excused himself to you, rubbing his forehead tiredly. God, he just wanted to curl up and sleep forever.
“Hey, are you okay? Did something happen at work?” you prodded gently, coming up to him and stopping only mere inches away from him. 
Shaking his head, David sighed heavily, “I’m fine.”
In a way he hated himself for not being honest with you. No, he wasn’t fine. Yes, something did happen. He was tired and distressed, and he needed to be held and to be told that things were going to be okay; even if it may not feel that way right now. 
When he felt your hands on his jacket, he flinched for a split second. He hadn’t noticed you moving at all, let alone touching him. 
“Sorry,” you murmured, “I just wanted to take it off for you. Okay?”
David nodded.
Then you unzipped his jacket and gently took it off before hanging it up on the coat hanger. While you did that, he took his boots off. He felt a lot lighter already, like he left some of the horrors he’d seen and felt that day behind himself. 
“Come on,” you said, taking his right hand into yours and pulling him after you to the bedroom. 
Were you a mindreader? Or did you just know him so well that you knew that this was exactly what he needed and wanted right now?
In the bedroom, you both undressed down to your shirts and underwear. And then you laid down on the bed together.
At first, David just lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, while you shifted on your side to look at him. He could feel your eyes on him. 
“It’s okay if you don’t wanna talk about it,” you told him softly, putting a gentle hand on his chest. The light pressure and warmth put him slightly more at ease already. 
“I wish I could just tell you about it, Y/N. But I can’t,” David responded, turning his head to finally look at you, as he laid his own hand on top of yours, intertwining your fingers.
You gave him a small, sincere smile. 
“It’s okay. I know you’re not allowed to anyway and I understand that it’s hard for you. I was thinking that you should maybe see a counsellor then? Just a suggestion, though. I’m worried about you, y’know?” 
If it had been anyone else that had suggested this, he would have immediately blocked them off and refused. But this was you. And so he gave it a moment to sink in. 
Perhaps you were right. Maybe he should see someone about it. Captain O’Malley had often mentioned that he should and that there was someone specifically for police officers. 
“Okay,” he whispered, “I might do that. I’ll talk to the captain so he can give me some contacts.”
Shifting closer to him, you tangled your legs with his and stroked his hair with your free hand. 
“Thank you,” you told him quietly, pressing a short kiss to his forehead.
David closed his eyes and simply revelled in the warmth, safety and comfort you were currently showering him in. This was why he loved coming home to you so much. Every time you knew what to do and say to make him feel better, no matter what he may have seen out there, whatever he may have witnessed or done. None of it mattered here with you. 
And soon, he finally drifted off into a peaceful slumber, leaving everything bad behind himself.

Sometimes I just imagine these dumb snek boys together pretending to be intimidating but actually just being huge balls of anxiety. And then I consider Mobius and Aziraphale just fucking shit up and burning things down in the meantime.
Fanfiction writers, can you please make this happen??

One Short Moment (David Loki)
Pairing: David Loki x Lawyer!GN!Reader (romantic)
Word Count: 890
Tags: first kiss, lawyer reader, confession???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was another late night in the office. It was around 9:45 pm, and almost all of the other employees in the building had gone home, with the exception of you and Detective Loki. You and Loki held adjacent cubicles, so occasionally one of you would look over to watch the other work for a couple of moments. Once in a while, your eyes would meet and you would quickly look away only to look back a couple of minutes later. 
Loki was working with evidence for a particularly difficult and gruesome case, while you were also looking over evidence to create a case for a client on a separate case. You typically worked defense as you were the in-house lawyer at the police station, and tonight was no different. you took a deep breath, you were tired but there was still much you had to get done tonight. You sighed and stood up. 
“I’m gonna get coffee, you wanna come, Loki,” you asked, turning to your cubicle partner. He turned around and looked at you. He checked his watch and looked back up.
“Yeah, sure, I could use some,” Loki said, standing from his chair. 
It was only a short walk to the kitchen, one the two of you took leisurely. A yawn escaped from your mouth and Loki looked toward you. 
“Long night?” He asked, laughing slightly. You side-eyed him.
“You have no idea,” you said, stretching your arms above your head as you walked. “Things are really not looking great for this guy.” You two soon arrived at the kitchen. Lucky for you, there was still enough coffee in the pot to generously fill two cups. 
You took two cups down from the shelf, handing one to Loki. He took it, nodding at you in thanks. You let Loki get his coffee first, and then filled your cup three-quarters of the way when he was done. Loki took his coffee black, while you preferred to put in cream and sugar, a small comparison of the way the two of you handled yourselves. Loki leaned on the counter behind him as he sipped his drink.
“How are things going in your direction,” you asked before slowly sipping your coffee. Loki huffed, swirling his cup.
“This one is tough, I’ll give it that. I’ve never shyed away from a challenge, though,” he said in response. You smiled at his comment. You walked over and leaned against the same counter as Loki, he didn’t move away. “What about you,” Loki asked, looking down at you.
“Ugh, you would not believe this guy,” you sighed heavily. “Not only has he basically destroyed any remnant of a case in his favor, he’s also been a huge dick this entire time. Literally, when I walked in the door, he asked for a different lawyer, said I looked like bad luck. Like, geez, I’m trying to help you here, asshole.” You sipped at your coffee angrily. “Still trying my best though, I’m not gonna let some loser like him tank me,” you added, assuring both Loki and yourself you weren’t half-assing the case. 
“As you should,” Loki laughed in agreement. Loki had finished his coffee and had set his cup down next to him.
Noticing Loki had finished, you quickly downed the rest of your coffee. You sighed deeply. 
“Back to work, I guess,” you said. You turned towards Loki to find him staring at you intensely. “Everything ok, Loki?” He seemed to snap back. “Oh, yeah sorry, just spaced out a little,” he apologized, still staring at you. 
“No worries,” you responded, shrugging your shoulders. You could see a slight blush on Loki’s face as he looked at you. You felt one form on your face too as you noticed it. 
“You sure everything’s good,” you asked, seeing the contemplative look on Loki’s face. Loki suddenly got an intense look on his face before moving to stand in front of you.
“Can I kiss you,” Loki said softly, looking into your eyes with an emotion you couldn’t quite interpret. 
Your face blushed and you took a second to think. You really liked Loki and this moment made it really seem like he liked you too. Slowly, you nodded. You inched closer to the detective before he finally closed the gap. It was soft at first but as you pushed into him, it quickly became more heated. You brought up your hands to rest on Loki’s shoulders as he moved his to cup either side of your face. The kiss was full of a need neither fully understood until now. You licked Loki’s bottom lip and he welcomed your tongue into his mouth. 
You shocked yourself with how forward you were being. You usually found yourself to be quite timid, romantically and sexually. Loki moved one of his hands from your cheek down the small of your back, moving down even further to grab your ass. You wanted to stay here forever, but your need to breath soon conquered everything else. You pulled away a few centimeters to allow oxygen to greet your lungs. 
“David,” you panted into Loki’s mouth. 
“We should do this more often, maybe after work tonight?” Loki smiled at you, now taking on a deep, seductive tone. You nodded before you pushed yourself back onto the detective’s needy lips.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed! I actually rewrote part of this cause I realized that Loki was being super creepy, but that's also kinda in character I feel, but I still changed it. This has been in my drafts for a while so now it's finally leaving. Also, this concludes my drafts so when this is up, my inbox should be open again!!

An old Loki drawing from December 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the time I liked this drawing I thought it was amazing!! Loki in this Art was inspired by the style of Nikki Sixx and Damiano David and I tried to capture some of the traits of Mick Jagger and Conner Kent in the 90's comics but it seems that only I noticed!! someone offended my drawing saying that he looks like John Lennon even though Loki was once considered a villain and committed crimes he doesn't deserve to be compared to John Lennon No human being deserves to be compared to John Lennon and Jair Bolsonaro!!🤢( At least they didn't call him Justin Bieber because that would be so much worse!!) jokes aside I just don't like these guys and I wanted to write something that sounded funny and now it looks like it was offensive!! you who are a fan of these guys forgive me! after I read Agent of Asgard and other comics (also the movies!) I have a slight impression that Loki is a punk, emo, goth, metal guy who darks Heavy Metal, Death Metal and Classic Rock and who is also super fan of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande and dances in the mirror to Black Pink songs when no one is looking!! I need to immediately draw Loki with a plaid skirt dressed just like Arvil Lavgine but a little androgynous and masculine!! Loki is a rocker for sure the guy was emo in his teens!! I'm sure he dresses like a goth! he looks so much like Damiano David (both are so hot! Ew hot? I mean cool!) I liked DC better until I watched the Loki series last year because of a certain alligator and now I like Loki! These things happen directly to me!! does anyone read the crap I write about my art? no no kzkzkskz!! I really liked this drawing at the time and I was learning a painting technique that I don't use anymore because I think it's too simple!! my painting has evolved a lot!! I always make Loki's horn crown different from the original!! Is Loki a rebellious punk without a cause who scowls like an angry goth? who dances Britney Spears wearing a skirt when no one is looking!! I think that about Conner Kent too!! two gay punks mean hot not gay!do you notice the pansexual pride flag on Loki's Bracelet?? an acquaintance told me that I invalidate Loki because I'm heterosexual and I make him "date" my oc who is heterosexual!! that's why she's never read any of the crap i write and draw because he's totally queer in my art! he only goes with a straight girl that doesn't invalidate him at all!! yes my OC is Heterosexual because I am heterosexual and my OC is inspired by me so she is heterosexual!! Loki is more Queer in fanfics and fan art than in Marvel itself!! Conner is also queer in my "universe"marvel confirm my theory that Loki is a rebellious goth emo guy who records tik tok to Lady Gaga or wearing skirt or gothic clothes please!! he is a fan of death metal and Britney Spears for sure!! maybe this is the only "old" drawing I'll post here I just want to post current art!!HE IS GOTHIC AND HAS SEX WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND TO THE SOUND OF MÅNESKIN (AND ALSO ONE DIRECTION!)

I can't help thinking the best and easiest way for JA's company to make a hit production is to buy any original script abt two men in love (non-SPN), no matter how flimsy the story is, make JP & JA the leads, give JP executive freedom, throw in a bunch of jealous scenes where JA's character is possessive of JP's character (grabbing JP protectively & putting his hands in JP's hair etc; all the stuff JA added to Dean) & make JA lose the douchy long hair & give him sth close to S7 Dean's hair (the longest it ever got while staying Deanish).
J2's unparalleled chemistry will elevate the script. JP's excellent eye as producer will keep the company safe from its own incompetence & could even snag an excellent script in the first place.
The Wincest and J2 shippers plus every viewer hungry for man-on-man romantic scenes will bring in enough money & drool to rake in a very neat profit.
It'll have lasting cultural value because the Wincest & J2 shippers will fill all SM with gifs & fan vids from the movie as if it's from Sam & Dean's lives, and man-on-man viewers will do the same in non-SPN circles.
End it tragically & get the usual crowd braying abt bury ur gays, keeping it in everyone's minds nevertheless. Or end it happily & have all the viewers salivating & rewatching for J2 (SPN crowd) or for two hot dudes kissing or more (non-SPN crowd who do this anyway with man-on-man scenes; I dislike calling it gay scenes because men who sleep with men can be bisexual, and gays have been famously hypocritically biphobic to bisexuals like me).
Anyway what do you think? Would it really succeed or am I just a simpleton who would die to watch Sam and Dean kiss but has no understanding of what movies need to succeed? Love your blog btw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm posting your idea in full because it's a giant prompt for J2/Sam&Dean fanfic writers.
Your ideas had me thinking of a Good Omen reboot with Jared and Jensen playing Azri and Crowely. The scenarios you presented can all take place at different points in the past, making the series more of an anthology. In 10 years, J2 will be in their 50s, the same age David Tennant and Michael Sheen are currently. If J2 are game, it could work! One of the reasons why Loki is one of the better Disney+ series is audience like the chemistry between Tom Hiddleson and Owen Wilson. Going by the conventions, the chemistry between Jared and Jensen is still going strong.

Chapter 2 <3
"What the fuck, Cassidy." Here we go again.. I thought to myself. I can never catch a break. 
Mark gets out of the driver's side and slams the door. Hard. I almost flinch, but the encounter we just had with that Detective had to be the most humbling thing that had happened to Mark. And that pleased me. I was distracted in my own thoughts when Mark yelled at me to help him unload our belongings from the car. 
Well if you're the strong man you claim to be, do it your fucking self. I almost giggled. I was loving my newfound confidence. I was happy that I had something to distract myself mentally. I had some hope for my new start. 
As I get out of the passenger side door, I inhale the cold, crisp, misty air that smelled of grass and dew. I smiled at the freshness of the cold suburban air, glad that I can breathe again. While I missed the sunny, bustling climate of Miami, I won't say that it isn't congested and loud. And very hot. The winter quietness of my new little place was refreshing. 
"You seem to like it here already" Mark says. I didn't ask for his two cents.
"I do love it. It's so fresh and quiet. I'm glad we came." I say. I'd better stay on his good side for now if I actually want to enjoy it here. At least until I'm ready to haul ass away from him. 
"Now that's more like it. See how we have such good times when you're grateful for what I do for us?" He chuckles. He walks away from his side of the car where he's unloading, and approaches me. He puts an arm around my shoulders and kisses my forehead. Don't cringe. Don't cringe. I lean into his shoulder, and smile as we look at our quaint little house. The exterior paint was gray and white, with a rounded exterior window. I couldn't wait to get inside. Hopefully it had more than one bedroom so I can make one of them my space. Somewhere to de-stress and relax. 
While Mark and I were unloading the rest of our things, we saw a run-down RV slowly drive past us. I looked through the driver's side, which had tinted windows and was only cracked a smidge. Hm. With all of these nice houses, who would be driving that kind of RV? The window suddenly rolled down some more, and I got a glance of a kid with messy long hair, and outdated 70s glasses. How weird. I thought to myself. 
"What's an RV like that doing in a neighborhood like this?" I say. 
"I don't know, but it gives me the fuckin creeps. Hopefully he's just drivin' past. We don't need no creeps around here doin' some shady shit." Mark replies. 
"Yeah." Like he'd actually protect me if something happened. I want to chuckle, but I hold it. "Let's just get inside" I sigh. 
...
Unpacking is always an unwanted chore that I hate. I sat on the patio steps, getting as much of that crisp November air that I fell in love with just a few hours ago. The sun was setting, and I wanted to watch it set while sitting on my new, but temporary patio.
I didn't have much, but we planned on shopping for stuff anyway later on in the week. There wasn't much space to fit a lot of things in our Miami apartment, so we didn't bring much. Plus, Mark was too cheap to rent a movers van, and we only had a rinky dink pick up truck to hold us over.
I had lined up an office job before I got here, but wasn't starting until two weeks after today. I had some time to kill while Mark went to work at some office downtown in the bustling part of Conyers. 
"Babe, I start working at that new place downtown tomorrow. You gonna be alright alone here?" Speak of the devil, and he appears. 
"Yeah, I'll be alright. I'll just do some cleaning and setting up the house." I say nonchalantly. 
"Good girl, that's what I like to hear." 
Yeah, whatever, Mark. As if I do everything for him, and only him. I only want peace, tranquility, and my old self back. I couldn't wait for him to go to work, and leave me be. Back in Miami, he barely worked, and baited his parents into giving us money for a house. Mark's parents were filthy rich and provided him with what he needed, but wanted nothing to do with me or their freeloading son. If only they knew. I wasn't the bad guy here.
"Anna!" "Joy!" We heard distant yelling from a street ahead of us. It was a boy and the lady from the family from before, only missing the blonde little girl, and the tall, lumberjack man that was with them.
"I guess their little girl ran off to play somewhere. I hope she's alright. It's getting pretty cold for her to be outside" I say. 
"Whatever, not our problem" What an ass. It was a cold night, and they're calling out for their child. How dense can you be, Mark?  "You comin', or are you gonna sit here all night like a loner. You'll get sick or somethin' and then I'll have to care of you. Come on." He knees me in the shoulder, and that did it for my peaceful sunset watching. 
... 
I walk into the house, reeking of paint and the faint smell of our old Miami apartment floating off of our belongings. 
"I'm goin' to bed. I'll shower before work tomorrow. You comin?" 
"Yeah, I'll be up soon, I'll just sit here on the couch for a while." The house came with a couch from the previous owner, but it was corduroy, my favorite material. The couch looked relatively unused and didn't smell like anything really. Just fabric. 
"I thought you hated that material, Cass. Don't worry, we'll get a new couch soon. Just give your man some time to work for it." 
Was that his attempt at a gesture? What a man. Couldn't even remember that this material is my favorite.
I sigh, and lie my head on the couch's armrest. "I guess so, but I'll be good for now. See you soon." He approaches me and kisses my forehead. 
"Night, Cass"
Hopefully he falls asleep before I manage to get up there.
