#girl help I can't stop thinking about the food cubes

The star trek food cubes are haunting me again. I want to put them in my mouth.
So here are the theories on how to make them.
Tumblr media
[ID] Screencap from The Conscience Of The King shows Lt. Riley uncovering a plate of food cubes [end ID]
Tofu, diced.
Marinate in liquid(s) of choice (e.g, lemon juice). Cover with cornstarch. Add red, green or yellow food colouring to blocks as required. Roast and serve.
Suggestion: marinate the cubes in different flavours to correspond to their colours.
Prototype recipe
Melon, diced.
This one is low effort: Red cubes= watermelon, other cubes= melon. Allegedly, the original on-set props *were* dyed melon (but I don't have a solid source), so this may be the best fit.
Royal icing/icing sugar.
This one is just candy: make 3 batches of royal icing, one red, one yellow, one green, dice when half-set and leave to fully set.
Cake, fondant.
Possible, if we assume Lt. Riley was drinking milk in that scene from The Conscience Of The King (Pictured above). This one is also easy to make, assuming you don't object to fondant.
Jelly, cubed.
(Jell-O). Dishonourable mention; this one is too see-through for my liking.
Tumblr media
[ID] Screencap from Where No Man shows Kirk eating a green food cube, which looks blue here. [End ID]
Potatoes, Diced.
Roast Potatoes, Diced
This idea comes from CoolPete.com, and my first thought was "please don't put food colouring on the potatoes".
Cool Pete provided a photo of the finished results, and the natural colour of the potato offsets most of the food colouring to make them all look greener than intended. The red food colouring comes out the best. I suppose colour theory dictates that you should use blue food colouring on the potatoes in order to get green cubes, but don't quote me on that.
With this in mind, I'm going to tentatively suggest a horrible idea:
Roast Sweet Potatoes (Yams), Diced
In theory, the redness of the yams might allow the Yellow Food Dye to look more yellow, and make the red more vibrant. There's a greater chance that you will be able to use the green food colouring without it looking blue here, but use at your own caution, because the finished product may look oversaturated. Perfectly edible, but potentially unappetizing (the first bite is with the eye).
Closing Comments:
For uniformity of texture, tofu or melon seems to be the best way to go. If we are to believe that the "food cubes" in-universe are supposed to be fruit (according to that same trekbbs thread, they're placed in glasses in Journey To Babel), then watermelon and cantaloupe are begging for our attention, but we must ignore them, for melon alone does not a meal make!
Tumblr media
“I wonder if they were actually supposed to be some kind of fruit in-universe, too? IIRC, in "Journey to Babel" the copper aliens put them in their drinks, which seems a strange thing to do if they were supposed to be the 23rd century equivalent of tofu cubes or something.”
-Avro Arrow
This isn't the end, merely the beginning. I will test out a couple of variations of these meals and report back on which one I think is best.
My current hypothesis is that the tofu will allow for the most variation, as you can marinate it in naturally-colourful liquids of various colours. If it's colourful enough you could forgo the food colouring altogether, or marinate it in something colourless (like salted water) and then add seasonings and food colouring if you wish.
I intend to start by using tofu with diced potatoes as a side, though if I test out too many cube-shaped meals at once, my household will get suspicious, so I need to space this out over the course of a few months. I'm going to use the tag #Food Cube Trek, so filter it if that's not something you'd like to see.

Tea party
Summary: All it takes for you to fix your problems is a tea party.
Warnings: None.
Tumblr media
"You can't be serious, are you?" He says between laughs.
"I am. Stop laughing. "
"Oh please, you're being ridiculous."
You stopped arguing, feeling like your feelings are not important to him.
You turn around, not wanting him to see the tears in your eyes. As much as you try to control your breathing, you can't stop the sob that leaves your mouth.
The moment he heard you crying, he knew he fucked up, no matter the situation or what the actual fight was about he crossed a line.
The argument was accumulated tension, or maybe it was the fact that you felt ignored.
He tries to reach you, but as soon as you feel his hands on you, you back away from him, making your way upstairs, needing space to calm you down.
You take a few breaths and clean your tears, not wanting your kid to see you like that.
"Hi baby," you say as you enter your daughter's room, "was your movie good?" She nodded, dedicating you a sweet smile.
All the anger and the sadness you felt because of the argument was now put aside. The sight of your four year old makes you calm down.
"Are you ready for the tea party, Mommy?"
"Of course I am, baby. I even have a perfect tiara for the occasion." You kiss her cheek and start preparing the little table for the tea party she wanted to have.
Kylian gave her a tea set as a present, and she was obsessed with it, always asking you to have tea parties with her.
Today was not different. She made little invitations for the tea party, giving one to you, one to Kylian and one to Teddy, her special teddy bear.
"What tiara are you wearing, my love?" You ask her finishing the setting of the table, just like she likes it. "You want to wear your pink one?"
She's getting her teddy bears ready for the party, as they're the special guests. "Yes, please."
Fixing the tiara on her head without messing her curls, you kiss her cheeks, admiring her. She was a copy of her dad, the eyes as glowing as his, the smile as big as his. She was perfect.
She was Kylians whole life. If she saw something she likes, she'll have it the next day. He makes sure she grows like the princess that he says she is.
"Let me get the tea and the food for us to start, okay?"
"Can you tell Daddy we are waiting for him?"
You tried not to change your expression. For her sake, you were going to act as if nothing happened.
"Yes, I'll go get Daddy."
You exit the playroom and make your way downstairs. The kitchen alone.
You prepare the things quickly, putting them on a wood plate.
Before leaving, you walk over to his office, and the door is open, so it's easy for you to get his attention.
"Hey," you say bearly audible.
"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't."
you cut him off, not ready for this conversation.
"Not now, Kylian. Let's just go upstairs."
As you were about to leave he grabbed you arm.
"Please hear me out"
"Not now, our daughter is waiting for us. Let's go."
Your move your arm freeing you from his hands.
He follows you closely as you grab the things and walk upstairs back to where your daughter is waiting.
"Hi princess," he says, picking her up. "I love your tiara. You look beautiful"
You set everything while they talk. Kylian has his eyes fixed on your every move.
"You need your crown, Daddy"
He puts her down and takes a seat while she looks for his king crown.
You took a seat on the other side of the table, moving one of the teddy bears, not wanting to sit next to him.
He's trying to ignore the situation, not wanting to ruin the rest of the day.
Kylian helps your kid with the crown and helps her sitting at her "special place" the one she herself picks only for her to sit on.
"One or two cubes of sugar?" You daughter ask you serving some tea on the cup.
"Two, please."
The tea party continues, and neither Kylian nor you are speaking.
As much as you think your daughter is unaware of the situation, she's a smart girl, and she can sense how you're ignoring each other.
She's used to seeing you two being all touchy and loving, so now that you are not even looking or making conversation, she starts to feel uneasy.
"Daddy"
"Yes, my princess?"
The tears in her eyes make Kylian worry.
"What's wrong bébé?"
She doesn't answer, her lips quivering as she starts sobbing, Kylian picks her up from her seat and places her at his lap. "Don't cry, princess. Tell me what's wrong."
You get up and move to where she was sitting, your hand caressing her back.
"I don't want you to stop loving my mommy"
You exchange a worried look, not aware of the fact that she heard the argument.
"Don't cry, princess. That's never going to happen."
"Are you going to stop living with us?"
She was now crying uncontrollably.
"No princess, stop crying, please. I'm sorry."
Kylian lulls her into his arms, repeating her that everything was okay.
"Amour, please don't cry."
She calmed down a little as you both reassured her that nothing was going to happen.
"I'm sorry, princess. I promise you I'll never stop loving your mommy."
"Then why were you yelling?"
You feel like crying, not wanting your child to have to deal with the fighting.
"It was nothing, amour, daddy and I were just mad, but that doesn't mean we don't love each other. I love Daddy so much."
Kylian extended his arm for you to cuddle into him.
"I don't want you to end like Lola's parents."
And that's when it hit you.
You were Lola's mother shoulder to cry about her divorce. She spent days with you crying about all her marriage problems, and that was also affecting Lola. You never thought your kid was picking all the negative energy from that. But now you realize your mistake, talking about adult thing in front of the kids.
"Baby," you felt comical for a moment, wanting to even laugh at your daughter innocence, but you weren't going to, not wanting to make the situation worse for her. "Daddy and I would never end like that. That's a totally different situation. I'm sorry you thought that, I'm sorry you heard us fighting."
Her eyes are now on you.
"You promise."
She put her pinkie up, and you wrap your own with her.
"I do."
You kiss her cheek and dry her tears.
"I'm sorry, princess."
Kylian fixes her tiara and kiss her cheek.
"You love mommy?"
He laughs, looking at you now.
"I love your mommy so much I can't even explain to you. And I'm really sorry I ever made you think I didn't."
Your eyes water, feeling overwhelmed.
"And I love you so so so so much, Ky."
You close the distance, kissing him quickly.
"And we both love you, princess."
You both kiss her, making her laugh.
"Another kiss"
She laughed as you kissed each other and her again.
You stay like that as the evening continues, finishing the tea party.
When the night arrives, you go down to prepare dinner for your family.
After a few minutes, Kylian enters the kitchen with your kid in arms, laughing at something.
He puts her down as she go looking for her coloring book.
"I'm sorry, you know how much I love you, I never meant to dismiss your feelings, I understand where you were coming from, and I'm sorry about it. I'll promise to work on that."
You turn the heat off and turn to face him.
"I'm sorry too, I don't like fighting with you."
You hug him tightly.
"I want a hug too"
You both laugh, hugging your little bundle of joy.
Yes, you have your ups and downs, but that's life. At the end of the day, you were thankful for your little family, knowing that your wouldn't change a thing.

Guess whos back on earth!
No but forreal, I'm currently in what used to be the nevada desert? I guess it still is the nevada desert, but the state is kinda defunct at this point. They started building one of the domes actually, which is kinda wierd to see on the horizon.
Locals won't go near it, says its got bad vibes, Can't really fault them, giant rusty superstructures aren't a reassuring place to stand. Might check it out on my own time? But thats just for my own curiosity tbh
Anyway, the girls out here have been surviving this whole time? Turns out people survived outside of the domes on earth this whole time and Oz just.. forgot to mention it? Actually they hate Oz about as much as anyone I've met, the domes have these giant train tracks that take goods for trade across the continent at pretty terrifying speed, and they're well armed. And they make zero stops for the settlements out here that could use the supplies.
I'm thinking about all the goddamn nutri-cubes that go bad on the shelves and how much good they could do here and it's making us turn red.
Anyway there's a lot of infighting, various raider crews. It's pretty much battlewagons and fetish gear all the way down. Sincerely considering sticking around once all this is dealt with..
But we got some power cores to a few settlements that we borrowed on Mars, and also met one of the raiders crews that's trying their best to protect settlements, try and get some kinda support network going, food from places that can grow it to places that can't, you get it.
Also they're almost entirely trans women? I'm pretty much in heaven rn. Gonna be hard to leave. But they promised their help if we can do them some favors too, so the Anarky world tour is off to a flying start!
Also, it is SO HOT HERE

had a horrible time tonight 😭😭😭 it was "mandatory family dinner" night where I'm forced to go out to a restaurant w my family, I'm autistic (wow guess why "mandatory" became a part of the name) so during those times I can barely talk (best case scenario. Sometimes I'm completely mute) and I have to wear headphones while I keep my head down. My family are ASSHOLES to servers like their motto is "well its their job to get it down exactly how we like" so they're always asking for specifics or stuff like that. I don't like fruit or pulp in my drinks, I got that without knowing but if it's already done then you're just going to make it more of a problem than it is if you try to fix it for me, so I dealt w it, but my family just woULD NOT let it GO. They asked the server for a fruitless drink, a drink meant for fruit in it 😭😭😭 now I can't lie so when my family asked if that was good it was just THE MOST painful and awkward scene of me bluntly saying "I don't know. I don't care." I know I came off so rude and hostile towards the girl like I hadn't meant to so I just put my fidget cube on the table to try to clear things up NFJSJSMSKW people just automatically put it in their heads not to be bothered if I'm strange as soon as I show the fidget cube and honestly it's how I solve all my problems. anyways I'm sharing this because I only made it through that night because I was mentally thinking about how I was gonna tell you this
oh that's so shit that you had a stressful night love and im glad i could help in some way, i actually find myself doing that a lot when i have shit experiences i immediately start going 'okay but how am i gonna tell the cult about this' and it surprisingly really helps lmao. something about actually making you parse through it and communicate it methinks
can i just say that as a waitress and as someone who has worked in the catering industry since i was a mardy sixteen year old, the staff aren't evil. sure you'll get some waitresses that are bitchy and don't want to be there, but most of the time, they're actually very nice. floor work (so what this girl was doing in serving you guys and working a section) is the work every waitress wants to be doing. i know i myself actually - believe it or not - really enjoy working a section. other options are shit like running food or polishing cutlery or clearing tables etc etc, it's much less fun than generally interacting with other people. and if you had a waitress who knew anything about anything, i can guarantee you she wasn't bothered. you get rude customers. it happens. for me, i always have more sympathy for younger people clearly out with their family, MORE SO if their family are the rude kind. you can always always tell when they dont want to be there and are embarrassed by their family's behaviour, and i promise you that girl wouldn't have been cross.
but on the other end, if you did have a shitty waitress or she was just having a bad day and this tipped the scale, one thing about working in the catering industry is you genuinely stop seeing people as people. it sounds awful but a customer is not a person to me; they're their own thing. i will literally spend 5 minutes talking to one guy and turn around without even knowing what colour his hair was. it's actually uncanny how little i remember people's faces and if they came back again another time i would be none the wiser. so at least remember that. it probably wasn't as bad as it felt, and if it was, that waitress has already forgotten what any of you look like anyway lmao

My friend ana.
I get a text inviting me to a party, but no. It tells me I can't. You can't go there'll be a table full of numbers and an organ inside telling you to eat it all. The desperation in my voice when I say i've eaten today is unreal. I sit in my bed bored and alone, I reach to grab what used to be my wrist but is now used as a measuring tool to make sure I didn't gain any weight. I feel what feels about the size of a half dollar coin. Thank god, another pound means another 4 days without food. Right? It tells me to grab the pills, it tells me it's a diet and i'm fine, i'm not anorexic simply put i just want to be skinny. I go into the girls bathroom and it's like being congratulated for a race I didn't win. It's like they vomit comments about how I'm losing weight, but I wanted to hear it right? I stand up and feel myself fade to black and back again. It tells me that it's like a ribbon or a medal knowing that I'm working hard enough. Oh no. i feel it coming. It tells me to shut it up but I can't. The overwhelming urge to chew and swallow is coming over me. I'm sorry I can't control it.it won. I sit there and eat and eat and eat. Until it realizes what's happening. Throw it up. It chants in my head and it wont stop. It keeps going uninterrupted until I'm sitting there bent over a toilet trying to keep the noise level to a low, because if they knew what kind of freak i was it would be over it would be dead, nothing more and nothing less than a traumatic memory stuck in the back of my starving brain. No. i make a realization this needs to stop. I tell people what I ate that day hoping, wishing and praying that they'll tell somebody about it but I'm faking it right? it's all for the attention because every sane human being would put themselves through starving themselves for attention right? I walk up the stairs and fight the feeling of collapse. But I'm just out of shape right? I sucked on ice cubes for dinner but I “burned my tongue”. You can't see the floor in my room but I'm just lazy and messy. I brush my teeth non stop until my gums are bleeding but its just because I'm a clean person. I haven't had my period for months on end but it's the medicine. They don't realize my cries for help coming from the bottom of what used to be a full stomach and is now what controls my life, they don't understand. Just eat, it's that simple isn't it? Maybe it'd be that simple if i didn't grow up thinking skinny means beautiful, maybe it'd be that simple if i hadn't grown up getting called fat maybe it'd be that simple if people didn't praise my sick body everytime the number on the scale dropped, maybe if people cared enough to pay attention they would realize im killing myself slowly every second every minute every hour that ticks by. Maybe they would realize that every time i shower and immediately change into a hoodie it wasn't just because I was cold. Maybe they would notice that I'm always cold in a warm room. I swear it's like they tell me to eat so they feel better about themselves, but all it does is make me look pathetic.

say it right → t.h
Tumblr media
summary: you show a little contempt towards something tom loves. maybe somehow coaxing you into liking it will change your mind. in other words, he fucks you.
prompts: college (uni), porn without plot (?), small town.
warnings: fluff? + smut 18+ minors dni!! extended warnings below the cut.
notes: this ticks my boxes for the prompts on @rosyparkers’s fic bingo! also, no hate towards anyone studying history (i love it) just !! got stumped a bit with the plot but you'll see ;)
word count: 3.2k+ | masterlist
❀───❀───❀
ex. warnings: mentions of alcohol, dom!tom, bratty behaviour, a bit of ice play, fingering, slight degradation, dirty talk, kitchen (unprotected) sex (be safe!), one orgasm denial, pussy slapping, creampie.
❀───❀───❀
"fucking finally."
tom groans, tossing his backpack to the side after greeting you in the kitchen. settling back into the sofa, he exhales loudly; 'mentally drained' would be putting it lightly and the only reason to explain his pain is because university is stabbing him in the gut lately. however, it's fortunate that it was his last day of term; almost a month of no classes to deal with. and the smell of food wafting in the air is enough for him to forget his worries for a while.
luckily, you took your time walking back from the same uni an hour or two ago, having finished class earlier. tom was at a trip at the time you told him, the slightest bit of upset now that you couldn't get ice-cream on the way back home; only a little custom you both arrange at the last day, and to start the break on a high note.
with a text saying he was almost home, you prepared him some tea─just the way he fancies it. he'd be lying if he said he didn't notice the littlest things, one of them right now being the frequent clink of your ring when you pick your cup of tea. being married and in a six-year long relationship does that. and it subtly makes him smile at the thought of how far you've come. together.
after placing the mug in front of him, you see tom extending an arm around your midriff and before you know it, you're on his lap, his mouth brushing your hairline. then, your lips─meeting them in a sweet kiss. his grip on your bare leg tightens only focussing on how soft he feels against your mouth, how addictively you invade all his senses. like every other time, that same carefree warmth permeates his senses as you're within his hold.
once you hear the timer go off, you pull away, pecking him on the nose. tom releases you, nose ticklish and feeling almost intoxicated after such a short kiss.
"did you have wine?" tom asks you, tongue swiping his lip, savouring the flavour, "can taste it."
you wink in response. "m' mate gave it. left some for you if you want." at that, you head into the kitchen.
"what you making?"
"you know that extra pizza you made a few days ago?" he inclines his head in understanding at your reply as he gets up. "got it out the freezer and popped it in the oven. and can i just tell ya, smells fucking amazing."
he chuckles. the cooking class as an extra-curricular activity works then.
tom tags along behind you, shrugging his blazer off on the way there and hooking it on the coat hanger. he rolls up his polo shirt too and disregards it, the material making him feel stuffy. he feels under-dressed anyway, with you in just a silk robe and no bra─which is normal.
switching the oven off, you spin to see tom only in his slacks and black vest─a perfect fit, for sure. though you don't see a difference if he went shirtless; it's been a while where all of his tank tops, shirts included, have just been showing every crevice and defined structure of his abs and chest.
every time he comes in the room shirtless─now because of weeks of training with his mate, harrison─you've been left in somewhat of a dizzy state. he looks far more than sexy when he arrives home from the gym, in a way you can't particularly describe. you haven't mentioned it in fear of slacking due to the exams you had these past two weeks, knowing full well what would happen if you did. though, you admit it would've helped if you pointed it out, instead of him coming in front of you every now and again like... this. it's like he just wants you to say it.
as if his ego isn't inflated enough.
you roll your eyes at the thought. unbeknownst to you, he catches it, smirking.
it's working, he thinks.
but immediately the buzz of his phone effaces the thought of prompting you further. he'd have to leave flexing his biceps later in the evening.
tom gets distracted by the photos he's taken earlier on in the day, rather than harrison's text. you're taking the pizza out of the oven when tom asks you, making you whip your head around, "wanna see where i went to today?"
tom raises an eyebrow at you, waiting for an answer.
you hum, knowing briefly what he's talking about. he had mentioned it a week ago saying he was to go to a place nearby─somewhere in cirencester─as a treat from the history department and studying your market town.
"c'mere, look," his eyes light up, phone in front of your face as he explains, "this building, right, is the 'cirencester lock-up' where the criminals were kept back in the day."
you sit atop the table as he moves to come stand in front of you, examining the pictures-- for almost a minute. then, compelled to do anything but frown, with both your hands, you tilt his head with your forefinger so he could look at you. mindful of his love for the subject, you question him, "this... is the place you went to on your trip, is it?"
"yeah," his ruffled eyebrow furrows, "why? is it not what you expected?"
"well... thought it would be more... grand is all. looks a bit, dunno... shabby─"
you hear him gasp before you have the chance to continue. "─this is history!" he exclaims, before shaking his head at you; he couldn't believe his ears. "big or small... it means so much to this area. sure, it looks old, but they're literal gems of time's past."
the distress on his face is evident - that you can see. it's beyond him why you feel like this. but then again─the drama gcse he took in secondary school offered him the ability to stress a light situation far too much. up till the point, it looks a bit silly when he's being dramatic. to you, this was one of those times.
meanwhile, when you stare tom down, eyebrow raised, the brief aspect swims in the forefront of his mind─that being, you have a tendency to become a puddle whenever he hopes to cajole you into anything, regardless of what he wants. right now, either due to his boredom or you underrating history, it doesn't matter. tonight he decides that it's just going to be about you and him. with a little fun twist.
"i'll just pretend you didn't say anything for my sanity..." he trails off, a slight teasing tone present in his voice, "for now."
"thank god," you mutter. the light of the sun outside reflects on tom's rolex, the same one you gifted him on your anniversary, almost blinding you as its redirecting near your eyes; it's dusk, and the blinds aren't closed yet─also revealing a really beautiful sunset outside which you haven't had time to admire yet because of him. "can you also not blind me? much appreciated."
advancing towards you, he laughs dryly, head coming in level with your own. his happy demeanour from the moment he came home has changed: he's biting his lip, gaze boring into your own with his jaw tight shut.
but then, what really gets to you, the most poignant sound that makes your heart drop is that... he tuts.
you swallow; knowing tom, you feel like it's not really the end. with that in mind, you're not prepared for what's to come. yet immediately, your thighs squeeze together because of the electrical-like current that passes through your body─all the way to where you want him.
in short, you know you're his. heart, pussy and soul - his. and he certainly acknowledges that. your legs slightly go apart at the thought, ready to give any indication for him to bury his head where it rightfully belongs. it's hard not to - especially with the warmth that's radiating from him, his breath hot as he's a few centimetres away, as if luring you already.
the sudden change in atmosphere brings a chill to your spine. the control within his hands is powerful. and you're his victim.
tom gets the message. yet, he doesn't give in all at once. he wants to enjoy you, savour you, adore you. to simply rush would ruin doing all of those things.
"let's focus on how good you've been for me these past few weeks, yeah?" he starts, retreating back to the freezer. he dives in and then, shuts it, an ice cube at hand.
the confusion on your face doesn't go unnoticed; firstly, only one? second, he doesn't use ice except with gin. and there's none of that in the house. unless...
placing the ice cube on the table next to you to stop it from melting, he continues, "maybe after, i can fuck that attitude out of you."
it takes seconds for you to remark, "just because of history? seriously?" you resist the urge to roll your eyes, turning your head to the side, "for the love of fuck."
he shrugs his shoulders, "yep, that's me. i love to fuck," his arms come on either side of you, "any excuse to fuck you."
"so you're basically admitting that you're being a dramatic bi-"
at once, your bottom lip is captured with tom's, swallowing your words altogether when you deepen the kiss yourself. pulling away a little, his voice is raspy when he speaks, "my girl is always so ready for anything."
he knows you're wet, you suppose. it only burns the fire within you moreso at your implication. just as the belt of your robe is untied, your breasts are being caressed by tom's large and callous hands.
tom moves to kiss the underside of your neck, "my woman," a nip at your sweet spot, "my wife," another kiss at your clavicle, "my everything." the primal desire in his kisses grows with each kiss and the affection in his words is sufficient for you to bring him closer, crying out to him for more.
you plead, "tommy-"
"always ready for my cock," he starts again, making your breath hitch in an instant. you bite back a moan at his brazen choice of wording.
"what was that?" he presses, "you can't take it can you? my pretty girl can't take it."
"'course i fuckin' can't."
tom brings the ice cube from earlier over your clothed pussy, grateful for the cold weather. the extreme difference in temperature makes you hiss in delight, body quivering. already, water drips from tom's hands, and it's hard to tell whether it's your arousal or the melting ice.
after moving your navy blue panties to the side, he swirls it around your bundle of nerves again, hips jerking upwards. not only do you notice the cheeky glint in your husband's eyes, but the absence of the ice cube too as his own thumb replaces it.
"already melted?" tom chuckles, "this─" his middle and forefinger slaps your clit with a slight force that makes you yelp, "─warm for me, yeah?"
he doesn't give you a chance to respond, a finger entering your wetness in a heartbeat. whilst his thumb circles your clit, he adds another digit, starting to move in and out in a slow manner─watching you unravel before him.
"you feel so good for me, princess," he coos, leaving a sloppy kiss on your cheek.
darkness soon prevails the room, though not fully, as the street lamp outside only grants tom the pleasant view of your yearning state. a few minutes go by with your chest heaving─letting out aching breaths of air that sears the walls of your lungs. the only thing that treat tom's ears is the squelching sound your cunt produces. his cock twitches at the noise, feeling it pulsing the more the seconds tick by. he feels restrained in his boxers; it's a shame you're not witnessing how hard he is as your eyes are shut tight.
but it's not too long when he feels you convulse around him, because he starts going on a pace that would be considered merciless at this point. whines turn into loud moans, the pressure building up.
owing to this, your legs are shaking, unable to lay off the climax that's approaching. instantly, when at the same moment you become so close, the coil inside you on the borderline of snapping, your attention is averted towards tom's ridiculous belief. again.
"history is what makes us today, don't you believe that?" he pants.
you knit your eyebrows together, trying to focus on cumming first. yet, you snap your eyes open, to see him licking his lips, "t-tom, please─" you falter, chest heaving.
"no," tom responds bluntly, ceasing his movements then and there. his fingers─wedged deep inside your pussy─tense as you somehow suck them in further at his disapproval. you were so near to what you wanted. he goes on, "say it─"
"─gosh, you're insufferable, tom."
he responds by pressing his thumb harshly on your throbbing clit, making you whimper.
"i said say it," tom repeats, "say it right so you get what you think you deserve."
"say what, tom, huh?" you snap through gritted teeth, "history is great?"
"yes, for crying out loud."
"do i get bonus points if i act like i care?" you prompt, seeking to provoke him further; if irritating him will get him to fuck you, then so be it.
he flares his nose, reluctantly pulling his fingers out your dripping cunt. you gulp as you see him remove his trousers as well as his boxers, his cock springing out bold and unbound. you're enticed at his length, no matter how many times you've seen it─stiff and thick and his tip leaking pre-cum. tom catches you licking your lips and you're now more aware than ever of the hunger that lingers in his gaze.
as he strokes his cock, tom's eyes darken as he scans your figure. your body yearns for more, and it shows; the way your body arches up, the way your hands clutch the edge of the counter so tightly─you look so beautiful under his torture.
"just have to prove it to me, darling," he draws closer, "scream my name," he growls, his tip prodding your entrance to which you shakily gasp at the familiar sensation, "when i stretch your walls, i fucking want people to know that i make you feel good,"
"you gonna do that for me, princess?"
his free hand grips your hip, sliding behind to your ass to bring you closer towards the edge of the surface. after squeezing your bum, he slaps it─evoking a sharp jolt of your hips to move forward. the abrupt action causes the aching tip of his cock to slip inside your warm hole whereupon you both groan at the contact.
"reckon i could make you cum in five minutes?"
you shake your head, smirking, "two."
he grins, shutting his eyes and sinking in ever so slowly. he breathes out, "fuckin' ell."
your head falls back, moaning in agreement. fucking hell, indeed; he feels so snug, your pussy accustomed to his size easily as he reaches further. like it was made for him.
whilst your fingers claw into his shoulders, tom moves down to kiss you, mouth hot and wet as it explores every inch of your own and tongues moulding each other repeatedly. you take the chance to clamp around his hips, placing your foot below his ass─allowing him to drive into you deeper.
tom recedes, grunting, "oh."
forget seeing stars─you feel like you can picture planets as he rocks into you. it goes to show how long you've gone without fucking. long enough for your orgasm to be building so soon. two minutes it is. or maybe tom understands your body too well, bottoming out as soon as he sees your jaw going slack. the angle that he's pounding in at is beyond perfect.
soon enough, the shockwaves that edges nearer in your stomach compels you to shove your hips, meeting his strong thrusts without thought. tom's name rolls off your tongue over and over again, the volume of your voice amplifying the more he hits that spot deep inside you─up till the point you're screaming. just like he asked you to before. and there you are, cumming, clenching around his dick as you fail to remember your surroundings. and unfortunately, your neighbours, too.
it's rather quick when you hear tom crying out your name into your neck after you. his thrusts become sloppy, given that he's draining as much of his cum inside you─spending of what he has in him. eventually, he comes to a stop, as well as the harsh bite of his teeth below your jaw. you feel turned on again but not adequate enough for your body to want to come again; you're absolutely spent.
"were you teasing me the whole time?" he mumbles into your chest a minute or two later, still inside you, creating circles with the pads of his fingers on your waist.
the answer you give him lies in the glimmer of your eyes when he looks up at you. "of course i love history, babe," you tease, "glad i pissed you off, though."
"this is why we can't have nice things," he whines, "you're always fucking my feelings over."
"awh no," you murmur, "you know i love you and your inner-nerd of history."
a blush appears on his cheeks. "forget it, now the pizza's cold," he pouts, head resting onto your shoulder.
"your fucking fault, babe," you remark, palms smoothing over the sides of his head, "now eat it."
he has different plans. "wouldn't mind eating you out actually. much better," he murmurs, hands coming to sit on the inside of your thighs. he stretches them again, cock slipping out of your cunt. the whimper you let out is because you feel empty.
you crave to feel stuffed again.
"you really know how to change the mood very quickly. innit, tom?" you ask.
he ignores you; once he's in line with your core, his eyes lock with yours, your breath hitching at the prospect of him giving you head. even after fucking you senseless, you feel like you won't be able to take it.
tom's tongue is already prepared to dive into your hole─some of his cum he's dumped inside moments before decorates your thighs and dribbles onto the floor, though more of his seed seems to still be confined inside you.
it looks heavenly. all his.
"may i?"

precious — park jeongwoo
warnings: lowercase,grammartical error,mention of death,nightmare
words: 1.8k words
pairing: jeongwoo + fem reader
Tumblr media
it's nothing strange when jeongwoo stays with your family during holidays or school days. you guys' bonds are really strong, besides your parents are also best friends since high school so that's why both of you are close to each other.
it's usual summer breaks, jeongwoo hanging with you at your house, binging some netflix series. jeongwoo who is already bored watching the vampire diaries for thousand times, secretly glancing at his best friend.
he never thought of having a girl like you as his best friend (beside haruto of course) for him, you're perfect. sometimes he has a thought that he would never bored live in this world with you only. sounds creepy but that's how he loves his friendship with you.
turning 17 is a lot harder than jeongwoo ever imagine, he thought going through puberty is a lot easier. but trust him, it's not.
when he gets older, he realized that he saw you not as a best friend but as a girl he wants to date. he doesn't know when or why he fell for you but for sure he head over heels towards you.
"woo, stop looking at my pretty face"
"am i supposed to look at your damon then?" jeongwoo scoffed, flustrated you caught him looking at her
"um, yea?" you answer, grabbing a handful of popcorn from the bowl and stuffed into her mouth, without breaking the glance from television
jeongwoo let out a small laugh, seeing you, really into that show although this is their thousands time watching it
"im tired of these vampires, i'm bored" he confesses, lean back on the beige couch, once again he glances at you hoping you would respond to him
"you can't get tired of this, we're gonna binge this show until we're old," you said
"old? are you gonna be old with me y/n?" jeongwoo asked
without looking at the brown-haired boy, you nodded
"how about your future husband? doesn't he be jealous when his wife binge her favorite show with her guy best friend?" jeongwoo asked, when he sure his feelings towards you, he can't help but think about their future, if they ended up with someone else, does their friendship will last long? or they're gonna be like a stranger?
jeongwoo's question finally made you pause the show and turns her back to jeongwoo, staring at his relaxed face
"what?"
"i don't want to be married, no-one can't stand if i'm having one of those ruthless nightmares" you frowned and pout at the same time, jeongwoo can't help but smile as a response, he just wanna pinch your soft cheeks.
you suffer from nightmares, although it happens occasionally, when it's happened, you will call jeongwoo, face-timing the sleepy boy until the next morning because you're too scared to return to sleep and spent the rest of the night, crying. and jeongwoo is the one and only who accompany you till the next morning no matter how tired he is.
he never sleeps when you having a nightmare, he will take care of you and calm you down, you will keep apologizing to jeongwoo and treat him with good food the next day, and of course, jeongwoo didn't mind at all, because he hates seeing someone he loves suffering.
"so do you want to get married to me then?" jeongwoo asked, if haruto is here, he will screaming at the top of his lungs cause jeongwoo finally got some brave to make his move.
you let out a big laugh
"nope, i want to marry with damon" you stick out your tongue at jeongwoo, making the boy tickles your body.
the house filled with your and jeongwoo's laughter, although you guys didn't notice you guys are really at your highest of happiness now.
+.*
it's 4 am and you once again woke up because of the nightmare. however, this nightmare felt different, it made you shaking so bad and out of breath, your body all covered with cold sweats, tears slowly falling to your cheeks.
quietly you sobbing in your blanket, although all of your nightmares seem real, this nightmare felt too overwhelmed for you— usually, you would call jeongwoo but today you didn't, it because your nightmare this time is about him.
you never dreamt about anyone else, never! but tonight you dreamt about jeongwoo, you dream that he is dead. his soul left his body because saving you. all the scenarios from your dream keep playing in your heads and you want to forget it but you can't.
and that time you realized,
you and jeongwoo fit together like a puzzle piece.
+.*
you didn't sleep after the long night. you calmed yourself by watching some of your and jeongwoo videos together. you cried when you realized you fell way too deep at jeongwoo. his laughs are loud and annoying, he's too talkative, and he's too clingy. for others, he may be annoying but not to you, you could listen to his laugh, he's never-ending story while he clinging onto you every day and you feel weird if he didn't do that for a day. he also always put others first before him, he always cares about the people he treasure. how can you not fall for this boy!?!?
you grabbed ices cube from the freezer and put it on both of your eyes to get rid of the swollen eyes. although you knew so well jeongwoo would notice your swollen eyes but it's never hurt to try.
minutes later you heard jeongwoo's voice across the living room, greeting your mother. quickly you threw the ices into the sink and wipe your wet eyes using your sleeve.
you grab your mom's morning coffee and greet jeongwoo who already enter the kitchen, smiling widely as he saw you.
"jeongwoo, your voice is so loud my ears hurt!" you said trying to act normal.
jeongwoo grins and side hug you, jeongwoo frowns when he saw you drink a coffee? you hate coffee, even the smell made you mad.
"you drank coffee y/n? are you a real y/n?" jeongwoo look at you with a suspicious look and hit your head
"you ghost, get out from y/n's body, she sleeps and watching the vampire diaries all days it's no hope for you to control her body" he hit your head once again
"ouch! ya, park jeongwoo!" you slap jeongwoo's chest and put down the mug on the counter.
"that was my mom," you said making jeongwoo mouthing an 'o'
you and jeongwoo are now in your study room, studying for your guys' upcoming exam after summer breaks end. the room is so quiet, and it made you nervous. whenever you with jeongwoo, you guys are never this silent. usually, jeongwoo would sing or throw some stupid jokes that could lighten the darkroom.
you glance at jeongwoo, you lowkey surprised seeing the male is so focused on his study, jeongwoo is indeed a smart boy but you never see jeongwoo study so seriously???
"woo, you okay?" you asked
jeongwoo drops his pencil and finally look at you
"why?"
"um, the silence is too loud, you know"
"yeah"
jeongwoo continues his study after the short answer. his short responses making you shocked. never in your life he treat you like this
"woo, are you okay?" you asked again
jeongwoo sighed and his eyes bore into you.
"your eyes swollen, i thought we have no secrets at all? but i think we have now" he said and crossed his arms.
he felt upset when you didn't tell him why you were crying. he saw your eyes red and swollen in the kitchen but he didn't wanna ask, usually, you're the one who would tell him from a to z, what happens.
you bowed your head, you bite your lips. how you're gonna tell jeongwoo about your dream? you start picking your nails, all of a sudden you remembered your dream crystal clear, you recalled how jeongwoo's body full of blood, exited from his chest and his face so pale, mouth shaking while try to said his last words
'be safe y/n'
you shriek when the image of jeongwoo's death felt too real for you. you cover both of your ears and your face buried down between your knee.
"y/n are you okay?" jeongwoo asked, panic, he goes to your back and rubs your back, whispering 'everything is okay. he shocked and clueless since this is his first time facing this kind of situation but he copied everything you do whenever he felt blue.
after a moment you finally raised your heads and look at jeongwoo who worriedly stare at you. your face pale, trying so hard to forget about your dream and the fact that your dream feels too real not to help you at all. you quickly hugged jeongwoo, you buried your face in his chest, crying, and begged him to not leave you. jeongwoo froze at your sudden action but he still ensures you that he would stay.
"i got a nightmare yesterday" you finally speak up, your face still buried deep in jeongwoo's chest, too scared to face him.
"what? y/n why you didn't—"
you make a little space between you and jeongwoo
"the dream is about you woo! i dreamt you died last night and it felt too real! i scared, the dream wouldn't go away so i cried all night, i– still clearly saw your dead body in my dream. it all felt too real woo"
jeongwoo face become soft and his unsettle towards you faded away, he hugs you tightly and kiss your head
"i won't go anywhere, those dreams are devil trying to hurt my precious best friend," he said, rubbing your back to calm you.
you let go of the hug and look at jeongwoo with shy looks
"because of that nightmare, i realized something"
"what?"
"i don't love damon anymore, i love you" you confess making jeongwoo giggles
"finally i beat damon! come here bestfr—"
"no woo! i love you as a boy, man, or whatever it is. i love you not as a friend!" you said
jeongwoo froze, his smile faded
"i,i— you what? y-you love me?" he asked again
you shyly nodded
jeongwoo froze
his brain still processing all of your words. it's kinda strange when your crush has the same feeling as you
"woo, you're making me scared. say something"
jeongwoo looks at your red and swollen face, he smiled at how he is so lucky to have this girl as his girl?
"i love you too, i love you a lot and it's hard to keep it since you're my best friend," he said making you smile and tears falling on your cheeks
"please stay tonight i'm still scared," you said
"of course, now come here precious girl" jeongwoo said, wrapped his hand around you and kiss your head.

Rain Season
Tumblr media
Tw. Sex, a lot of fluff, domestic, porn with plot
Aizawa Shouta x Reader
Requested by: Anonymous
Anonymous: I would like to request an Aizawaxfem reader, where she is a pilot but decides to transfer to an office job for him, also, please do is very domestic, like... he had an awful day and is very grumpy, but she takes care of him, and then he takes care of her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) if you  know what I mean.
I hope you liked it!!! This was my first time doing a request!!!
+3.9k words
I didn't made the second check to see if I have anything wrong with the writting, sorry
...
"Fucking rain season" said Eraserhead while getting inside his home, soaked from head to toe, he saw your heels on the entrance hall and frowned at it, he just wanted to be alone right now.
You heard him going inside your house and by the sound of his wet boots his mood was just as bad as the weather.
Chuckle to yourself as you keep preparing the bathtub.
Shouta's footsteps were light, but you always had a good hearing, and that helped to not letting him scare the shit out of you.
"I know that you are there love" you raise to your feet and look at him with a smile, but turns into a giggle seeing him all wet.
"Why are you here?" his rude tone would set anyone off, but you knew he was just being grumpy.
"I can't fly with this rain, it's too dangerous for me and the passengers so~" you go to him and brush his bangs away to let you see all of his beautiful face.
His eyes glare at you, he didn't want to get his hopes too high, Shouta knew that having a relationship with a pilot wouldn't be easy, and the little bit of time you two had together was heaven but always too short.
So any time that you had a day off he wouldn't ask for more time, but fuck he missed his girlfriend, he didn't even know how he was so lucky to fetch such a catch, but you would always respond with 'the bait was just too good to let it pass'
Even so, even if he tried to not get his hopes up, maybe... just maybe you would stay for a bit longer than usual...
You kissed his cheek and petted his drenched hair "I also got a promotion!"
Shouta frowned at that "so why don't you go celebrate with your friends?" He pushes you away and started to strip.
Huffing, you help him against his wishes "How barbaric! Didn't even let me finish!" You hold his hands stopping him from taking his pants off "I got a promotion for..." you clap twice "AN OFFICE JOB!" And make jazz hands on the end.
He looks at you astonished "An office job!? You hate working on a desk, and you also hate doing the same things every day! That's why you love being a pilot!" He says angrily, everything was making him angry right now, even your voice, one of, if not the most thing, he likes about you.
You sigh "Yes but... I already traveled to most of the countries in the world, I saw so much but..." you blush and evade his eyes
Aizawa gets closer to you, making both chests almost touch "But?"
"But... every time I saw something new I would think of you... and how you would like this, or how you would smile eating that, I'm feeling more and more homesick with each trip so... I asked to be transferred..."
He just... looks at you, which makes you blush more each minute that passes "I-I was thinking... that I could... maybe... move in, since it's so close to the airport from here, and... I would be able to sleep and wake up with you by my side" your whole face is red.
Shouta smile and hugs you tightly, "Why are you even asking? I gave you the keys in hope that you would move in"
You smiled and hugged him back, but his skin was too damn cold! You felt like you were hugging an ice cube!
The sweet moment was interrupted by him sneezing, "OMG! Bathtub! Now!" You pull him to the tub and help him to take off his clothes
"What about you? You just got here, right?" He asked while stepping out of his pants and boxer.
"I will take a shower, you can take your time and relax" you kiss his shoulder (because it's the highest place you can reach without him bending)
Shouta nods and gets inside the bathtub, smelling a woodsy scent, the water was also a little green "what did you put in here?"
You take off your clothes "It's a new bathwater, it helps relax the body and all that shit" you take a hair tie and ties Aizawa's hair in a cute messy bun "today we will take care of you, okay?" finally being able to kiss his cheek you smile nodding to yourself and goes to take a shower.
He watches you for some time and then relax on the bathtub, now that he's calm and relaxed he can faintly hear the sound of the rain outside, the strong bathroom lights were annoying him by not letting him relax "can you please turn off the lights?"
You stop for a minute and get out of the shower, doing what he asked, but lighting a few candles first "better?"
"Uhum..." he sighs and close his eyes
"I will keep on watch, don't worry, you can take a nap" you dry yourself and take the stool you normally used to shave and sit on it while on Aizawa's side
He just mumbles something and start to snore lightly.
You smile at the scene, he was always a sweetheart with you, putting you first, even if you had to cancel a lot more plans than he had because of work, the day you two meet was while he was working, and you were on your way to your flight, it was out of a novel type of meeting.
________________
It was supposed to be a normal Friday, you were going on your vacation, and decided to walk to the airport, you decided that it was the only type of exercise you would do on your vacation, since you were going to eat a lot of everything no matter the place.
But while calmly walking and admiring the orange sky, some guys passed running way too close to you, the last one actually picked you up and started caring you!!!
"HELP!" you shouted and started struggling trying to get the man to release you, to no avail
"Calm down princess, we just want the cops to not shoot"
"YOU SHUT UP!" you screamed and punched his throat making him stumble and drop you on the ground.
You landed in a bad way over your arm, you heard something crack, but the adrenaline pumping in your veins made it impossible to feel any pain.
You heard footsteps coming to you and see that a pro was following them, one of the guys grabs you and point a knife to your neck.
"Stop or I'll slice her throat!" The pro stops a few meter away and glares at the villain.
The villain rise you to your feet and gives a maniac laugh "poor hero! I know that you won't forget her face after this-"
Since you had both arms free, and had a brain, you decided to not let him kill you, so as logically as anyone would think, you decided to grab his balls and squeeze them as strongly as you could, and sadly for him, you were really angry.
The villain releases you and falls to his knees, you take the opportunity to run to the pro.
The dark haired hero put quirk canceling handcuffs on both of them, he looks back at you and makes sign to get you closer, you do as told and, and he put his hand on your right arm, you scream at that and holds your arms close to your chest "FUCK!"
He nods to himself "the police and ambulance are already on their way, you shouldn't have done that, what would happen if he had cut your throat in impulse?"
"Then I would die" you look at him with a poker face "so what? Now I will have to get a license and won't be able to work for the next 3 months, GREAT!" you groan frustrated and glare at your own arm.
"You almost died and care more about your job?" He asks confused.
"Not exactly, I just got my vacation, and now I have to postpone for a few days, just so I can get used to the cast, this suck" you sigh and let your head fall forward.
"You just need to ask for your friend's help, why would that be difficult?" He looks back at the handcuffed villains and then looks the siren noise finally starts to be heard.
"I don't have friends" you say and look up at him "so again, it will be difficult to do things with a cast"
You two were silenced by the ambulance and the police car arriving almost at the same time, you were checked and told that you would go to the hospital, but before they closed the door the hero came back into view.
"You said you don't have friends so... would you like my help?"
______________
Since then, you both had so much fun together, you started to pass more and more time with each other.
Until you asked him out on a date, and here you are, watching him on the bathtub taking a nap.
You smile at the scene and goes next to him, and start giving butterfly kisses all over his face to wake him up.
Aizawa wakes up and looks at you sleepy, you smile at his cute face "the water must be getting cold, come on, I already ordered food from your favorite restaurant" you help him up and dry him when he steps out of the bathtub, giving small kisses all over.
"You don't need to do this... I'm actually quite against this..." you chuckle and shake your head
"You work hard every day and night, always finds time to go watch a movie that I want, or go to a place that I like, you stay at school until late to help your students, or to help Yamada with paperwork, you are also thinking about getting the temporary guard of that little girl Eri" you put his towel around his waist and ties it there "It's my time to help you" you kiss his shoulder "and take care of the man I adore"
He nodded, permitting your plans to pamper the shit out of him.
You take a hold of his hand and brings him to the bedroom, where there were some candles and light blue rose petals, some relaxing song was playing, and the few scented candles were weak and just enough to help him relax.
"You got my favorite ones... " he looks at the light blue petals and gives a sad smile "thank you..."
You know that he is thanking for the flower, since the color always reminds him of his late friend, but when you two talk about it, you never ask about the accident, and just ask about everything else about him and their time together, so to Shouta when you show or talk about his late friend only good memories surge, and not the dreadful one, which he is quite thankful for.
"You're welcome, now lay down on the bed, stomach down and ass up" he looks at you suspiciously "I won't play with your ass today, don't worry, I will give you a massage"
He sits on the bed "since when do you know how to make these?"
You huff and put on one of his shirts "I took classes, so that I could help you de-stress, now lay down and let me help you"
He sighs thinking how this is a terrible idea, but smiles and comply at the end 'she learned something just to help me...'
You start on his feet, massaging with care a trying to remember what he told you on the classes.
Aizawa closed his eyes and thought about the time before this relationship, he would probably have taken a quick shower, ate some leftovers and slept the rest of the time, then woke up and go to work.
Having you is a luxury he wants to have every day.
Shouta knows that it's selfish of him to think like that, but you are so good to him, always has been.
When he was tired it seemed like you had a sixth sense to know, you would tell him to lay his head on your lap and would pet his hair while talking about your day with a sweet a low toned voice, he would always wake up on the bed, you said that you woke him up and brought him to the room, but he doesn't remember waking up at all.
Your hair was beautiful, your eyes gorgeous, your nose cute, the way you tilt your head before asking a question, the little mole you have on your eyelid, that can only be seen when your eyes are closed.
He really adores you.
The massage is so fucking good, you said you took a few classes??? He doesn't believe you.
Your hands go gradually up to his legs, then his lower back, his upper back, and you finish on his neck, when you had finished the feet he was already napping.
You hoped that the massage was good and that it would help him, you were going to wake him, but your phone buzzed signaling that your food was here.
You get up, pick the phone up and go to the door where you greet the delivery guy.
"Having a good night?" You ask while hiding half of your body behind the door
"Yes ma'am! Here's your order" he gives you your package which you quickly put on the table and return with your cellphone showing the qr code
"Here, have a great end of day" he smiles back at you and goes away.
You lock the door and put the table for the two of you.
...
Shouta wakes up feeling extremely relaxed, but something was missing, he looks around and see that the candles were off, only the scented one was light 'smart girl' he smiles at the thought of you, and notices how his body is super light.
He gets up and adjust the towel around his waist, his mood is a lot better now, but while hungry his facial expression still was an angry glare, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and frowns, you always had a carefree and relaxed expression, and he was starting to get aging lines, were you really only 5 years younger?
He sighs and opens the door not bothering to put on clothes, he sees you putting the table up and sees the package for his favorite sushi place and frowns.
You look back at him and smile "I was about to wake you up"
Aizawa gets closer to you "You shouldn't have done that, my favorite restaurant is too expensive to order if it isn't an especial occasion"
You shake your head "We are celebrating my promotion, also I got a fat bonus~" you sit and point serves you both some wine.
"Let's celebrate and relax" you start eating happy for the high quality product.
...
After eating you washed the dishes against Shouta's wish, but he did put the plates away.
"So... is there anything else you wanted to do?" You look at your boyfriend and see his relaxed body and face, much better than the angry wet cat that had arrived earlier.
He steps closer to you and looks into your eyes "I want to do you"
You blush heavily "this isn't about me today..." you pout
He shakes his head "I love when I see your facial expressions, and your voice screaming my name is my favorite song, now please... let me hear you sing" he holds your face with both hands and give you a peck on the lips.
You nod and close your eyes, going with the flow.
His pecks turn into kisses, that he cover your face with it, very slowly "my beautiful. Kind. Sweet. And caring girlfriend. Taking such a good care of me. You think that I didn't notice how the house is cleaner than when I left?" His kisses start to go lower to your throat "always so caring... you also need to de-stress a little. Let me help you" his hand start to travel down thru your body.
You sigh from how kind he is being, normally he would kneel and eat you out like he was a starved man, then he would proceed to fuck your brains out on the dinner table, but right now he wasn't stressed from work, or angry about the villains attacking even in this bad weather.
You should do this more often...
"Stop spacing out and focus on me" he bites your earlobe, and you gasp focussing on him, you only now notice his hands on your thigh and on your breasts under the shirt, he gave both a little squeeze which made you whimper and tremble under his hands.
"S-sorry..." he kissed your collarbone and bite your neck
"Let's go to our bed, it's been some time since we used it for something that isn't sleeping" you felt a shiver going all over your body from how low his voice got.
"Y-yeah! Let's do that!" You turn around to go to the bedroom, but he stops you by picking you up, you hug his neck and blush heavily again "hey! You surprised me!"
"Good, that was the intention" as he walks to the bedroom you hear something falling, when you look behind him, you see that he dropped the towel, and now you have a perfect place to see his butt.
"Why is your ass better than mine?" You pout and notice that you are now on the bedroom
"If you exercise more you would also have a nice and firm ass like mine, but I do prefer pudding"
"Pudding?" He lays you down on the bed with your back to the ceiling and stomach to the bed.
Shouta give your ass a bite, and you laugh "oh! Pudding! Now I get it"
He chuckles and kiss where he had bitten "mine..." he says in a sweet voice and hugs your waist for some time.
Then he raises and turn you around, now facing him "would you allow me to make love with you?"
You blush and smile, caressing his face "of course" you take the opportunity to untie his hair, that had been tied since the bath 'next time I will wash his hair'
Shouta smiles and kiss you slow and passionately.
This was different from normal, and so good, so sweet, you feel his hands going down again and opening your legs.
His fingers caressed your entrance, he broke the kiss and brought his fingers to his face "so wet for me already, how kind of you" his fingers go down again but this time he makes circling movements on your clit.
You sigh from the stimulation and pull his face close to you again "please, I want more Shouta" you open your mouth begging for more kisses.
He complies and kiss you passionately again, his second hand come up and fondle with your breast, sometimes pinching your nipple.
Everything he did was so slow that you felt like drowning in him, his taste, his scent, his skin touching yours, you were drowning in him and him in you.
After 2 years of relationship you two knew what the other liked or needed, and this was something new, that both needed this very much and neither knew.
His fingers went inside you slowly and curved slightly, then he moved it at the same pace as before, slow enough to tease but fast enough to stimulate.
You part the kiss again "more... please! More!" You move your hips to feel more and put your hand over his that was on your breast and squeeze it asking for more pressure.
"Such a nice way to beg... do you think you can take it? I want to feel you around me"
You knew that you needed more preparation, since Shouta was the biggest you ever had, and he stretched you to your limit every time, you remember that the first time you two had the sensation was the same as losing your virginity, but he asked so nicely... and by the looks of it he will be very loving, so you nod in confirmation.
He smiles at you and lined himself on your entrance.
Now that you think about it, it looks like he was hard for some time now, the purplish head and the pulsating vein make it obvious that he has been holding himself back.
"My eyes are up here~" he mocks, and you look at him, like... you really look at him, and you decide to drop the bomb.
The L bomb hadn't been dropped by neither of you, even after 2 years, both afraid of the other leaving after they got attached, but... you were already attached, and he has such a dangerous job, you never know what will happen, so you decide to let it be known.
"Aizawa Shouta... I love you"
He looked astonished at you and gave you a wobbly smile "I love you too" as he said that he penetrated into you and gave you a deep kiss with a lot of tongue to distract you from the discomfort.
Aizawa keep pushing until all of him was inside, he part the kiss and sighs relieved "you are always what I need to make a shitty day much better"
You shudder from his deep voice and put your hands on his shoulder "I'm glad that I can put your mind at ease in though days" you kiss his nose and he smiles back at you.
He gives a small trust, and you respond with a small moan, encouraging him.
Shouta gives slow and shallow trusts, letting you get comfortable.
You lick your lips and wiggle your hips trying to get more of him in "please move! Your going too slow!" He chuckles and bites your neck
"I had totally forgotten this" he takes your shirt off "there, all mine " he said in a sweet tone and hugged you close, letting both chest press against each other.
Shouta starts moving faster, and the way his body squeezed you was suffocating in a good way, you start scratching him as soon as he's hips start clapping against yours, the pressure on your belly.
'So close' the position had his cock rubbing against your favorite spot deliciously you were taking short breaths with your eyes glossy from pleasure.
But the feeling of you around him, your nails on his back and your small moans and whimpers, everything about you was intoxicating, Shouta bites your necks, then your shoulder, and start to bite you all over leaving marks on you "mine..." he said again and started pounding on you.
It was so sudden that you couldn't hold back a high pitched moan followed by a whimper "Shouta!"
He bites your nipple and suck it while fucking you, holding your body against him by the hips.
Shouta was going to be kind and have a slow and sweet sex with you, but the way you drive him crazy with so little, he wants to ravish you, but decides against it.
One of his hands go to your clit and rub circles on it making your body tremble, and you arch your back wanting more "Shouta!"
His thrusts got sloppier, now going faster "close... so close" he laid his head on your shoulder.
The feeling of his dick kissing you womb hurt in a good way, the way he knew you loved "close!"
You came first, creaming on his dick while arching your back, his thrusts got sloppier he bites your shoulder and grunts while coming on your stomach.
He sits up and looks down at you, and your stomach covered in cum and your fucked out face with pride.

Painkiller - 1
Tumblr media
This is part 1 of my second, longer Henry Cavill fic. Slow-burn-friends-to-lovers again, I just like this kind of story and I hope you're gonna like it too.
One important note: I'm a curvy woman myself and the last OFC I shipped with Henry was curvy too, so I decided the OFC in this story should be different. She's lean and without curves and I hope I portrayed her and her thoughts on her bodily features, that come up in later chapters, well. I know you very slim babes out there have body issues too and I hope you find yourself represented in this story. 
Pairing: Henry Cavill x OFC (Ella)
Summary: Henry meets a woman that he really likes right from the beginning, but it starts with pain...
Warnings: None, I guess. Smut in upcoming chapters but not yet
Unbeta'ed! English is not my first language so please be warned. 
Taglist: @hell1129-blog @inlovewithhisblueeyes @willkatfanfromasia @lunedelorient @agniavateira @mis-lil-red

Here we go....
*****
1
It started with pain for both of them. 
"Oooof." The punch came unexpected and hit her hard right under her eye, sharp pain radiating from her cheekbone through her skull, leaving her dizzy and disoriented for a moment. It felt like someone had sounded a gong inside her head. Loud and hard. She squeezed her eyes shut and raised her hands reflexively up to her face, throwing away the cup in her hand without thinking about it.
"Ouch..." The glass mug hit his back almost the same moment he heard the woman that was sitting behind him on a barstool wince in pain when his elbow met her cheekbone only centimeters below her eye. A hot liquid ran down his spine leaving a burning trace that hurt like hell. The mug fell to the floor beside his feet, surprisingly undamaged.
He turned around, his face red from the attempt to suppress the pain, facing the woman he had just accidentally hit.
"Oh shit... I'm so sorry. Are...are you okay?" He stammered, waving his hands about wildly, unsure whether to comfort her through a touch or to stay away from her.
She blinked several times before looking at him, her hurt eye was watering and the skin below it was dark red. She started rubbing the aching spot, still blinking continuously.
"Hey, are you alright?" he repeated with a troubled expression.
"Yeah...yeah. I'm fine I guess." She shook her head to get rid of the blur and tried a smile, clinging on to the edge of the bar.
"I'm so so sorry. It really was an accident. I didn't see you. I was gesticulating a little too wildly, talking to my friend over here." He turned around to introduce her to his set assistant Marc but he was nowhere to be seen. So no support was to be expected from this side. How the hell has he managed to vanish this fast, he wondered.
"You have an invisible friend you talk to at parties?" she said looking at him suspiciously.
"I swear he was there just a second ago..." Now his face was red from embarrassment rather than pain and he ran his hand over the burning area on his back unconsciously.
"Oh no...my Darjeeling." she looked at the big light brown spot, that was spread all over the back of his white shirt.  "I spilled my tea on you. That must burn like fire. I'm so sorry." Her eyes were wide with shock...well at least the one that hadn't involuntarily got to know his elbow.
"Oh no...no worries. I'm fine...hardly noticed it. What about your eye?"
"Well, I guess I'm going to have a very pretty shiner tomorrow."
He turned around to the Bartender. "Could we have some ice please?" The man took a look at her and started shoveling some ice cubes into a little plastic bag immediately. With a nod he gave it to her and she pressed it onto the bruise carefully.
"Sorry. Again." He gave her a sheepish smile. "Let me order you a new cup of tea, okay?"
"I'd prefer something harder now to be honest. A coke please." She grinned and gave him a wink with her good eye which instantly made him feel less guilty and much better.
"You're a real badass, huh? A big party and you drink tea first and now even a coke?" He gave her a cheeky smile. "Not as badass as you. You show up with the invisible man and beat up innocent, unsuspecting women." she answered quick-wittedly and then they simultaneously burst out laughing.
"I'm Henry, by the way." He said when they had calmed down, offering her his hand.
"Ella." she said, shaking it. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. Though the circumstances are suboptimal."
"Nevermind. Tomorrow I can tell all my friends Henry Cavill hit on me at a party and it won't even be a lie."
He laughed out loud.
"Damn...you've recognized me."
"Yeah...you should have worn the Clark Kent glasses." She replied with a grin. "Without them it wasn't too hard to figure it out. Plus this is the Witcher wrap party so I was kind of expecting to see you."
"Fair enough."
"Is your back really ok? The tea was boiling hot, I bet you have a heavy burn..."
"I'm good...you know...Man of Steel...tea can't hurt me." he grinned widely.
"Uh-huh...and I thought you might use one of Geralt's magic potions to ease the pain."
"Maybe we should use something like that on your cheek."
"I'll be fine. Don't worry. A black eye will match my badass personality perfectly." She removed the ice bag and touched the area below her lower lid with her fingertips, managing to give him a nonchalant smile.
"You're not part of the team, are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before. Are you here by yourself or with someone?" Henry tried to sound as casual as possible when in fact he was dying to know whether she was single or not.
"No, I'm here with a friend. He's part of the props master team and I helped him to find some special antiquarian books and maps. That's why he asked me to accompany him tonight. As a treat and as a thank you."
"And where is your friend?" Henry scanned the room for someone who was looking for her. Fuming with jealousy maybe. But there was no one.
"I don't have a clue. He went to find the restrooms a while ago..." she shrugged. "He promised to be back soon but maybe he ran into the cute waiter he was drooling over earlier and now they're making out in the storage room or something." Ella grinned, rolling her eyes.
"I see." Henry laughed, relieved that her friend apparently was a gay friend. "Well, then I regard it as my duty to keep you company till he returns."
"How very chivalrous." she raised her eyebrows, an amused smile playing on her lips. "But I think you're already off the hook. There he comes." She nodded at a tall, athletic looking man that approached them with a guilty look on his handsome face. He was in his late-twenties and looked like a member of a motorcycle club, dressed in leather trousers, a white t-shirt and heavy black biker boots. His arms were both completely covered with tattoos, nose and eyebrow were pierced and he had tunnels in both earlobes. He held a black leather jacket in one hand, running the other hand through his thick black hair. Henry recognized him immediately. He had been on set quite a few times and his co-star Freya had a huge crush on him, talking about him almost non-stop. 
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." The guy said when he was in earshot, raising his hands defensively. "It wasn't my fault. I ran right into my boss and she insisted on having a drink with me."
"Only one?" Ella grinned at him. "You look a little tipsy."
"And you look fucked up. Shit, Elsie...what happened to your face?" He came closer, inspecting her eye, lightly touching the bruise, which made her flinch.
"He beat me up." Ella cocked her head, looking at Henry, wiggling her eyebrows.
"Accidentally!" Henry clarified hastily.
"How's that even possible?"
"It's complicated." Ella laughed. "I'll tell you later. You know each other?" She looked back and forth between them.
"Sure. You're Jackson, right?" Henry said with a big friendly smile.
"Um..yes. I am." The surprise was written all over Jackson's face. "And you are Henry Cavill and you know my name..."
"I saw you on set a few times and heard Fr...someone...call you by your name."
"Oh, wow...that's pretty dope." 
"Yeah...dope." Henry laughed. "Well... I'm gonna leave you to it then. I spotted my invisible friend over there and I really have a bone to pick with him." 
***
Henry just couldn't stop looking at her. He was standing on the other side of the room with Marc and some other members of the team, having a beer and some tiny bits of finger food. The others were chatting and laughing but he wasn't really able to follow their conversation. He rather watched Ella sitting at the bar, talking to Jackson, touching her bruise from time to time. To Henry's big relief she seemed to be alright but he still couldn't stop observing her. 
He probably wouldn't have noticed her under normal circumstances, sitting there all on her own, trying to stay in the background. She wasn't the kind of woman that turned everybody's heads when she entered a room. She was attractive for sure, but not in an eye-catching way. She had more of a girl-next-door aura than being a bomb-shell. More pretty than hot, more down-to-earth than extravagant, more being game for anything than drama queen and for all these reasons she was exactly Henry's type. 
She was quite tall, almost eye to eye with him, but then again she was wearing sky-high Louboutins. She wore her ebony-black hair in a cute pixie cut which matched her pretty face with the big green eyes perfectly. She was very lean but not skinny and though Henry normally prefered curvy women he liked her slim stature. It simply suited her really well. Just like the black pantsuit she wore, the tight trousers that showed off her long, well-formed legs and the short, waisted jacket that she wore open over a close-fitting red top that matched the soles of her shoes.
But what really captivated him was her personality. Henry liked the way she had handled that whole awkward situation. Instead of getting angry or behaving bitchy she had been so calm, understanding and humorous, so completely unpretentious, Henry was still impressed. She knew who he was but she didn't make a fuss about it. She could have easily tried to take advantage of the situation but she had not. She had simply treated him like an ordinary bloke and he appreciated that very much. Ella seemed to be a smart and interesting woman. A woman he wanted to learn more about, a woman who inspired his hunting instinct and at the same time there was something about her that made him feel insecure. Maybe because their first encounter was more of a meet-brute than a meet-cute and he was still embarrassed about it.
When he looked at her again he smirked, raising his glass a little. She laughed before she returned the smile.
*****
"He keeps on checking you out." Jackson said when he noticed the glances Henry gave Ella.
"He's not checking me out, Jax."
"So why does he look at you again and again?" 
"Maybe he's concerned I'm going to sue him for bodily harm." Ella grinned.
"I doubt that. I think he's into you."
"Oh come on...don't be silly. He's Henry Cavill and I'm...well, I'm...me."
"You seemed to get along very well when I watched you from afar."
"He was being polite, because he almost knocked me out."
"You laughed a lot." Jackson pointed out.
"Yeah, he's a funny guy. Very quick-witted."
"And handsome." 
"Oh yes. He's breathtaking. It should be illegal to be this attractive and nice." Ella sighed.
"Look! He's doing it again. He's glancing at you."
Ella turned to Henry's direction, locking eyes with him. When he raised his glass with a sexy smirk she laughed and smiled back.
"See?" Jackson asked triumphantly.
"Okay, okay. But I still think he's just being nice because he has a guilty conscience. If he was interested in me he would have asked for my number or something."
"Maybe he's a little shy." Jackson wasn't willing to give up that easily.
"Yeah...sure." Ella laughed giving her best friend a playful head slap. "Let's drop the topic, okay." 
"If you insist..." Jackson rolled his eyes.
"I do. Besides...I really have a bad headache. I can't think straight right now."
"Maybe a mild concussion. Let's call an Uber and get you home, Elsie. You have to rest."
"Yeah, maybe you're right."
****
When Henry realized that Ella and Jackson were about to leave the party he started to panic. If he let her go now he wouldn't see her again but he really wanted to. So he hastily made his way through the crowd, parting it with his body like Moses parted the Red Sea with his staff. He didn't know what exactly he was going to do or say but it shouldn't be that hard. A flirtatious line, a bright smile, ask for her number. Easy.
"Ella!" 
She turned around when she heard her name, surprised to see Henry, his gestures indicating to her that she should wait for him. She tugged at Jackson's shirt to make him wait too, nodding in Henry's direction. Her friend just raised an eyebrow meaningfully.
"Ella." Henry repeated when he reached her, almost tripping over his own feet.
"Yes?" she looked at him expectantly.
"I...um..." He gave her a lopsided smile. "I was wondering if you maybe want to give me your number so I can...um...check on you tomorrow. To make sure you're fine and...well..yeah...just in case your eye gets worse or something." 
That didn't come out half as smooth as planned. 
"Oh...yeah. Sure." Ella agreed without hesitation though she was pretty surprised. Surprised and happy that he wanted to stay in touch. Even if it was just to make sure she wasn't hurt badly. Henry gave her his phone and she typed in her number and her name, screwing up her eyes because her headache was killing her.
"Are you okay?" Henry placed a hand on her shoulder, a concerned look on his face.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just...my head hurts a little."
"Shit. This is all my fault. You might possibly have a concussion. I should take you to hospital. You need to see a doctor, Ella."
"No, it's okay. I just need a painkiller and a good night's sleep. My brother can take a look at me tomorrow, he's a paramedic."
"Really?" He didn't sound convinced.
"Really." She smiled at him, patting his hand that still rested on her shoulder, warm and soothing. Her touch made his body tingle in a way it hadn't tingled for a very long time.
"I'm gonna get her home and make sure she'll be fine." Jackson threw in. "I can stay the night, keep an eye on you, Elsie. Just in case, okay?"
"Okay." Ella agreed, turning to her friend with a grateful nod.
"Thanks, Jackson. That really makes me feel better." Henry was visibly relieved.
"Yeah, no biggie. And don't worry. I won't touch her. I would of course if I was straight  because she's really great. But I'm not and well...yeah...she's single by the way." Jackson blurted out.
"Jax!" Ella's cheeks turned deep red.
"That's...um...good to know." Henry grinned, blushing a little too.

The Daughter of the Sea - Chapter 5
Tumblr media
(Y/n)'s POV
I have weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.
I must've woken up several times, but what I hear and see makes no sense, so I just pass out again. I remember lying in a soft bed and spoon-fed something that tasted like (Favorite/Food), only it's like pudding. The girl with curly blond hair hovers over me, smirking as she scrapes drips off my chin with the spoon.
When she sees my eyes open, she asks, "What will happen at the summer solstice?"
"What?" I manage to croak.
She looks around, as is afraid someone would overhear. "What's going on? What was stolen? We've only got a few weeks!"
"I'm sorry," I slur, "I don't . . ."
Somebody knocks on the door, and the girl quickly fills my mouth with the pudding.
. . .
The next time I wake up, the girl is gone.
A husky blond dude, like a surfer, stands in the corner of the bedroom keeping watch over me. He has blue eyes - at least a dozen of them - on his cheeks, his forehead, the backs of his hands.
When I come around for good, there is nothing weird about my surroundings, except they are nicer than I am used to. I am sitting in a deck chair next to Percy - who was looking at me with concern - on a huge porch, gazing across a meadow at green hills in the distance. The breeze smells like strawberries. There is a blanket over my legs, a pillow behind my neck. All that is great, but my mouth feels like a scorpion had been using it for a nest. My tongue is dry and nasty and every one of my teeth hurt.
On the table next to me is a tall drink. It looks like iced apple juice, with a green straw and a paper parasol sticks through a maraschino cherry.
My hand is so weak I almost drop the glass once I get my fingers around it.
"Careful," says a voice.
Grover is leaning against the porch railing, looking as though he hadn't slept in a week. Under one arm, he cradles a shoebox. He is wearing blue jeans, Converse hi-tops, and a bright orange t-shirt that says CAMP HALF-BLOOD.
"You two saved my life," Grover says. "I...well, the least I could do...I went back to the hill. I thought you might want this."
Reverently, he places the shoebox in Percy's lap.
Inside is a black-and-white bull's horn, the base jagged from being broken off, the tip splattered with dried blood.
It hadn't been a nightmare. My mother was gone.
"The Minotaur," Percy asks.
"Um, Percy, it isn't a good idea -" Grover gets cut off.
"That's what they call him in the Greek myths, isn't it?" Percy demands. "The Minotaur. Half man, half bull."
Grover shifts uncomfortably. "You two have been out for two days. How much do you remember?"
"Mom," I say softly. "Is she really . . ."
Grover looks down.
I stare across the meadow. There is a grove of trees, a winding stream, acres of strawberries spread out under the blue sky. The valley is surrounded by rolling hills, and the tallest one, directly in front of us, is the one with the huge pine tree on top. Even that looks beautiful in the sunlight.
My mother is gone . . .
Nothing should look beautiful. The whole world should be black and cold.
"I'm sorry," Grover sniffs. "I'm a failure. I'm - I'm the worst satyr in the world." He groans, stomping his food so hard it comes off. I mean, the Converse hi-top comes off. The inside is filled with Styrofoam, except for a hoof-shaped hole. "Oh, Styx!" he mumbles.
Thunder rolls across the clear sky.
Mom had really had been squeezed into nothingness, dissolved into yellow light.
Percy and I are alone. Orphans. We would have to live with . . . Smelly Gabe? No. I'd live on the streets first.
Grover is still sniffling.
Percy says, "It wasn't your fault."
"Yes, it was. I was supposed to protect you."
"Did our mother ask you to protect me?"
"No. But that's my job. I'm a keeper. At least . . . I was."
"But why . . ." Percy begins and I suddenly feel dizzy, my vision swimming.
"Don't strain yourself," Grover says. "Here."
He helps me hold my glass and puts the straw to my lips.
I recoil at the taste because I was expecting apple juice. It isn't that at all. It's chocolate-chip cookies. Liquid cookies. But not just any cookies - Mom's homemade blue chocolate-chip cookies, buttery and hot, with the chips still melting. Drinking it, my whole body feels warm and good, full of energy. My grief doesn't go away, but I feel as if Mom had just brushed her hand lovingly against my cheek, given me a cookie the way she used to when I was upset and told me everything was going to be okay.
Before I know it, I'd drained the glass. I stare into it, sure I'd just had a warm drink, but the ice cubes hadn't even melted.
"Was it good?" Grover asks.
I nod.
"What did it taste like?"
"Chocolate-chip cookies," I reply and Percy looks at me knowingly. "Mom's. Homemade."
He takes the empty glass from me gingerly, as if it's dynamite, and sets it back on the table. "Come on. Chiron and Mr. D are waiting.
3rd Person POV
The porch wraps all the way around the farmhouse.
Percy's legs feel wobbly, trying to walk that far, and (Y/n), though her legs feel like Jello, had moved to support her brother. Grover offers to carry the Minotaur horn, but Percy holds onto it. I'd paid for that souvenir the hard way. I'm not going to let it go.
As the trio comes around the opposite end of the house, (Y/n) catches her breath.
Percy's POV
We must be on the north shore of Long Island because on this side of the house, the valley marches all the way up to the water, which glitters about a mile in the distance. Between here and there, I simply can't process everything I'm seeing. The landscape is dotted with buildings that look like ancient Greek architecture—an open-air pavilion, an amphitheater, a circular arena—except that they all look brand new, their white marble columns sparkling in the sun. In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school–age kids and satyrs play volleyball. Canoes glide across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover's are chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shoot targets at an archery range. Others ride horses down a wooded trail, and, unless I'm hallucinating, some of their horses have wings.
Down at the end of the porch, two men sit across from each other at a card table. The blond-haired girl who'd spoonfed (Y/n) is leaning on the porch rail next to them.
The man facing me is small, but porky. He has a red nose, big watery eyes, and curly hair so black it's almost poker. He looks like those painting of baby angles - cherubs. He looks like a cherub who'd turned middle-aged in a trailer park. He is wearing a tiger-patterned Hawaiian shirt, and he would fit right in at one of Gabe's poker parties, except I get the feeling that this guy could out-gamble even my step-father.
"That's Mr. D," Grover mutters to me and (Y/n). "He's the camp director. Be polite. That girl, that's Annabeth Chase. She's just a camper, but she's been here longer than just about anybody. And you already know Chiron . . . "
He points at the guy whose back is to me.
First, I realize he's sitting in the wheelchair. Then I recognize the tweed jacket, the thinning brown hair, and the scraggly beard.
"Mr. Brunner!" I cry.
The Latin teacher turns and smiles at me, then looks curiously at (Y/n), who is still supporting some of my weight. His eyes have that mischievous glint they sometimes got in class when he pulls a pop quiz and made all the multiple choice answers B.
"Ah, good, Percy," he says. "Now we have four for pinochle."
He offers me a chair to the right of Mr. D, who looks at me, then (Y/n), who is leaning against my chair, with bloodshot eyes, and heaves a great sigh. "Oh, I suppose I must say it. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. There. Now, don't expect me to the glad to see you."
"Percy, why don't you introduce me?" Mr. Burnner says, sending a soft smile towards (Y/n).
"Oh, this is my twin sister, (Y/n)," Percy says.
(Y/n)'s POV
I smile and wave shyly.
"It's nice to meet you, sir," I say. "Percy's told me a lot about you. Even said you were his favorite teacher."
A warmer smile spreads across Mr. Brunner's face and then he turns. "Annabeth?" Mr. Brunner calls to the blond girl.
She comes forward and Mr. Brunner introduces us. "This young lady nursed you back to health, (Y/n). Annabeth, my dear, why don't you go check on Percy and (Y/n)'s bunks? We'll be putting them in Cabin Eleven for now."
"Sure, Chiron," Annabeth replies.
She's probably about my age, maybe an inch or two taller, and a whole more athletic looking. With her deep tan and her curly blond hair, she is almost exactly when I think a stereotypical California girl would look like, except her eyes ruin the image. They are startling gray, like storm clouds; pretty, but intimidating, too, as if she's analyzing the best way to take me down in a fight.
She glances down at the Minotaur horn in Percy's hands then looks back up at me. She says, "You drool when you sleep." My cheeks take on a slight red tinge as she sprints off down the lawn, her blond hair flying behind her.
"So," Percy says, looking anxious to change the subject. "You, uh, work here, Mr. Brunner?"
"Not Mr. Brunner," not Mr. Brunner says. "I'm afraid that was a pseudonym. You may call me Chiron."
"Okay," Percy says, looking totally confused, then looking at the director. "And Mr. D . . . does that stand for something?"
Mr. D stops shuffling the cars. He looks at Percy like he'd just belched loudly. "Young man, names are powerful things. You don't just go around using them for no reason.
"Oh. Right. Sorry."
"I must say, Percy," Chiron - Brunner breaks in, "I'm glad to see you alive, and the chance to meet your sister. It's been a long time since I've made a house call to a potential camper. I'd hate to think I've wasted my time."
"House call?" I ask, interested.
"My year at Yancy Academy, to instruct Percy. We have satyrs at most schools, of course, keeping a lookout. But Grover alerted me as soon as he met him. He sensed he was something special, so I decided to come upstate. I convinced the other Latin teacher to...ah, take a leave of absence."
"You came to Yancy just to teach me?" Percy asks.
Chiron nods. "Honestly, I wasn't sure about you at first. We contacted your mother, let her know we were keeping an eye on you in case you were ready for Camp Half-Blood, and then we learned of Miss (Y/n), here." He nods to me. "But you still had so much to learn, Percy. Nevertheless, you made it here alive, and that's always the first test."
"Grover," Mr. D says impatiently, "are you playing or not?"
Percy's POV
"Yes, sir!" Grover trembles as he takes the fourth chair, though I didn't know why he should be so afraid of a pudgy little man in a tiger-print Hawaiian shirt.
"You do know how to play pinochle?" Mr. D eyes me suspiciously.
"I'm afraid not," I answer.
"I'm afraid not, sir," he corrects.
"Sir," I repeat, liking the camp director less and less.
"Well," he tells me, "it is, along with gladiator fighting and Pac-Man, one of the greatest games ever invented by humans. I would expect all civilized young men to know the rules"
"I'm sure the boy can learn," Chiron says.
"Please," I plead, "what is this place? What are we doing here? Mr. Brun— Chiron—why would you go to Yancy Academy just to teach me?"
Mr. D snorts. "I asked the same question."
The camp director deals the cards; Grover flinches every time one lands in his pile.
Chiron smiles at me sympathetically, the way he used to in Latin class, as if to let me know that no matter what my average was, I was his star student. He expected me to have the right answer.
"Percy," Chiron prompts. "Did your mother tell you nothing?"
"She said . . ." (Y/n) begins and I remember her sad eyes, looking out over the sea. "She told us she was afraid to send us here, even though our father had wanted her to. She said that once we were here, we probably couldn't leave. She wanted to keep us close to her."
"Typical," Mr. D says. "That's how they usually get killed. Young man, are you bidding or not?"
"What?" I ask.
He explains, impatiently, how you bid in pinochle, and so I did.
"I'm afraid there's too much to tell," Chiron says. "I'm afraid our usual orientation film won't be sufficient.
"Orientation film?" (Y/n) asks, quirking an eyebrow.
"No," Chiron decides. "Well, Percy, (Y/n). You know your friend Grover is a satyr. You know -" he points to the horn in the shoebox - "that you have killed the Minotaur. No small feat, either. What you may not know is that the great powers are at work. Gods - the forces you call the Greek gods - are very much alive."
I stare at the others around the table.
I wait for somebody to yell, Not! but all I get is Mr. D yelling, "Oh, a royal marriage. Trick! Trick!" He cackles as he tallies up his points.
"Mr. D," Grover asks timidly, "if you're not going to eat it, could I have your Diet Coke can?"
"Eh? Oh, all right."
Grover bites a huge shard out of the empty aluminum can and chews it.
"Wait," I tell Chiron as (Y/n) sits down on the edge of my chair. "You're telling me there's such a thing as God."
"Well, now," Chiron says. "God—capital G, God. That's a different matter altogether. We shan't deal with the metaphysical."
"Metaphysical? But you were just talking about—"
"Ah, gods, plural, as in, great beings that control the forces of nature and human endeavors: the immortal gods of Olympus. That's a smaller matter."
"Smaller?"
"Yes, quite. The gods we discussed in Latin class.
"Zeus," I say. "Hera. Apollo. You mean them."
And there it was again—distant thunder on a cloudless day.
"Young man," says Mr. D, "I would really be less casual about throwing those names around if I were you."
"But they're stories," I say. "They're—myths, to explain lightning and the seasons and stuff. They're what people believed before there was science."
"Science!" Mr. D scoff. "And tell me, Perseus Jackson"—I flinch when he says my real name, which I never told anybody—"what will people think of your 'science' two thousand years from now?" Mr. D continues. "Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo. That's what. Oh, I love mortals—they have absolutely no sense of perspective. They think they've come so-o-o far. And have they, Chiron? Look at this boy and tell me."
"Percy," Chiron says, "you may choose to believe or not, but the fact is that immortal means immortal. Can you imagine that for a moment, never dying? Never fading? Existing, just as you are, for all time?"
"You mean, whether people believed in you or not," (Y/n) says.
"Exactly," Chiron agrees. "If you were a god, how would you like being called a myth, an old story to explain lightning? What if I told you Perseus and (Y/n) Jackson, that someday people would call you a myth, just created to explain how children can get over losing their mothers."
My heart pounds. He's trying to make me angry for some reason, but I wasn't going to let him. I say, "I wouldn't like it. But I don't believe in gods."
"Oh, you'd better," Mr. D murmurs. "Before one of them incinerates you."
Grover pleads, "P-please, sir. He's just lost his mother. He's in shock."
"A lucky thing, too," Mr. D grumbles, playing a card. "Bad enough I'm confined to this miserable job, working with boys who don't even believe!" He waves his hand and a goblet appears on the table, as if the sunlight had bent, momentarily, and woven the air into glass. The goblet fills itself with red wine.
"You're Dionysus," (Y/n) says and Mr. D looks at her. "The god of wine."
Mr. D nods then stares at me as I say, "You're a god."
"Yes, child."
"A god. You."
He turns to look at me straight on, and I see a kind of purplish fire in his eyes, a hint that this whiny, plump little man is only showing me the tiniest bit of his true nature. I see visions of grapevines choking unbelievers to death, drunken warriors insane with battle lust, sailors screaming as their hands turn to flippers, their faces elongating into dolphin snouts. I know that if I push him, Mr. D would show me worse things. He would plant a disease in my brain that would leave me wearing a straitjacket in a rubber room for the rest of my life.
"Would you like to test me, child?" he says quietly.
"No. No, sir."
The fire dies a little; he turns back to his card game. "I believe I win."
"Not quite, Mr. D," Chiron says. He sets down a straight, tallies the points, and says, "The game goes to me."
I think Mr. D is going to vaporize Chiron right out of his wheelchair, but he just sighs through his nose, as if he were used to being beaten by the Latin teacher. He gets up, and Grover rises, too.
"I'm tired," Mr. D says. "I believe I'll take a nap before the sing-along tonight. But first, Grover, we need to talk, again, about your less-than-perfect performance on this assignment."
Grover's face beads with sweat. "Y-yes, sir."
Mr. D turned to me. "Cabin eleven, Percy Jackson. And mind your manners." He sweeps into the farmhouse, Grover following miserably.
"Will Grover be okay?" I ask Chiron.
Chiron nods, though he looks a little troubled. "Old Dionysus isn't really mad. He just hates his job. He's been . . . ah, grounded, I guess you would say, and he can't stand waiting another century before he's allowed to go back to Olympus."
"Mount Olympus," I say. "You're telling me there is really a palace there?"
"Well now, there's Mount Olympus in Greece. And then there's the home of the gods, the convergence point of their powers, which did indeed used to be on Mount Olympus. It's still called Mount Olympus, out of respect to the old ways, but the palace moves, Percy, just as the gods do."
"You mean the Greek gods are here? Like...in America?"
"The what?"
"Western civilization?" (Y/n) guesses and Chiron nods for her to continue. "It started in Greece, then spread to Rome, right?"
"That's correct, Miss (Y/n)," Chiron says.
"And then they died?" I ask, looking between my Latin teacher and my sister.
"Died? No. Did the West die? The gods simply moved, to Germany, to France, to Spain, for a while. Wherever the flame was brightest, the gods were there. They spent several centuries in England. All you need to do is look at the architecture. People do not forget the gods. Every place they've ruled, for the last three thousand years, you can see them in paintings, in statues, on the most important buildings. And yes, Percy, of course, they are now in your United States. Look at your symbol, the eagle of Zeus. Look at the statue of Prometheus in Rockefeller Center, the Greek facades of your government buildings in Washington. I defy you to find any American city where the Olympians are not prominently displayed in multiple places. Like it or not—and believe me, plenty of people weren't very fond of Rome, either —America is now the heart of the flame. It is the great power of the West. And so Olympus is here. And we are here."
"Who are you, Chiron? Who . . . who am I? Who . . . who are we?"
Chiron smiles. He shifts his weight as if he was going to get up out of his wheelchair, but I know that was impossible. He's paralyzed from the waist down.
"Who are you?" he muses. "Well, that's the question we all want answered, isn't it? But for now, we should get you a bunk in cabin eleven. There will be new friends to meet. And plenty of time for lessons tomorrow. Besides, there will be s'mores at the campfire tonight, and I simply adore chocolate."
And then he does rise from his wheelchair. But there's something odd about the way he did it. His blanket falls away from his legs, but the legs don't move. His waist keeps getting longer, rising above his belt. At first, I think he's was wearing very long, white velvet underwear, but as he keeps rising out of the chair, taller than any man, I realize that the velvet underwear wasn't underwear; it was the front of an animal, muscle and sinew under coarse white fur. And the wheelchair isn't a chair. It was some kind of container, an enormous box on wheels, and it must've been magic, because there's no way it could've held all of him. A leg comes out, long and knobby-kneed, with a huge polished hoof. Then another front leg, then hindquarters, and then the box was empty, nothing but a metal shell with a couple of fake human legs attached.
I stare at the horse who had just sprung from the wheelchair: a huge white stallion. But where its neck should be was the upper body of my Latin teacher, smoothly grafted to the horse's trunk.
"You're a centaur!" (Y/n) says in awe, and Chiron's eyes sparkle with amusement as he nods.
"What a relief," the centaur says. "I'd been cooped up in there so long, my fetlocks had fallen asleep. Now, come, Percy and (Y/n) Jackson. Let's meet the other campers."

[11.09AM]
"This is so weird, okay? I can't believe my friend is dating my older sister." Johnny nagged as he opened the door and found Jaehyun flashing a wide smile in front of his house.
"I love you too, Johnny," Jaehyun answered, chuckling and handing him over a bag of cheese burger. He entered Johnny's house casually without even waiting for the owner to let him in.
"Don't you think you can bribe me," Johnny said dramatically, yet his hands were already busy opening the paper bag. "Vivian! Jaehyun is here!" he called for his sister.
"I can hear you clearly, Johnny, you don't have to shout like that," his sister hissed as she went out from her room, being dramatic as well but less dramatic than her brother. "And, Seo Youngho, didn't I tell you to not call me Vivian?" She approached her giant little brother and gave him light slaps on his arm. She wanted to pinch his cheeks or ears, but Johnny was saved because he was much taller.
"Okay, okay. I get it, Ayoung noona," he whined that he gave Jaehyun eye signal to get his sister out quickly.
Jaehyun chuckled at the usual bickering scene between Ayoung and Johnny. Ayoung turned to Jaehyun who were ready to greet her with a smile that his dimples popped out. "You ready?"
Ayoung nodded, also smiling wide at her date.
"Speaking of which, it would be nice too if you call me with my real name, instead of Jaehyun," Jaehyun shyly said once they hopped into Jaehyun’s car.
Ayoung smiled at him. "Okay, Yuno."
Jaehyun, aka Yuno let his hand slowly reached Ayoung's before he turned on the car machine. His expression couldn't lie when he got to hear his name called with such a sweet, loving voice.
[11.42PM]
"I don't want to say good bye," Yuno muttered as he tightened his grip on Ayoung's hand. He stopped by at a park with playground nearby Ayoung’s house after spending a great time at an underground jazz café.
"Why don't you go with me upstairs? I'm sure Johnny is still wide awake."
"And let Johnny hyung beat me up? No, thank you," he joked.
Ayoung chuckled.
"This is perfect anyway," Yuno said as he scanned the surrounding. The playground was completely empty as the time showed past eleven at night. After making sure nobody around, Yuno slightly pulled her closer and sneaked his arms around Ayoung's waist. "And I can't do this if Johnny is around," he whispered as he, bending his lower body to match her eye level, put his forehead against Ayoung's.
Thanks to the night sky, Ayoung could hide her blushing cheeks. She only drew a shy smile as she tried to look at Yuno in the eyes, her hands holding onto his upper arms.
The lovebirds, drowning in each other's minds, spent minute after minute without words in the same position until their phones rang at the same time, startling both of them. Yuno let loose his embrace, but didn't completely let go of his girl. After taking his phone out of his pocket, he put one arm around Ayoung's shoulder and let her lean on him.
"Wow, the group chat is a mess at this hour. And Johnny is already threating me," told Yuno while scrolling up and down his phone screen.
"He is indeed. Should I tell him we're here?" she playfully asked as she found Johnny's rants via text in her phone as well.
"You gotta be kidding."
Ayoung chuckled as she hugged him from the side. "Aigoo, our Yuno~"
Again, he blushed from hearing his name called.
"It's almost 12. You should go back home, Yuno." She affectionately fixed Yuno's fringe. "Or... how about staying over?" she teased again.
Yuno chuckled this time. "If sleepover, I'll go with Doyoung and Mark so Johnny won't go after me."
"Okay, I'll invite the others for dinner tomorrow, and you can stay over."
[6.25PM]
Ayoung was busy cooking in the kitchen after managed to trick Johnny to go grocery shopping. She also succeeded surprising him that they were going to host a dinner with his buddies. So now he was made use for his labor to tidy up the living room and arrange the tables and plates.
"Remind me again why do we suddenly hold a dinner event?" he groaned as he pushed the sofa to one side.
"Just think of it as a late birthday party for you, since I wasn't around and you were busy as well," she blabbered.
"Okay, that doesn't make any sense. What's with the other guys?"
"It's just the form of my gratitude to them for taking good care of you." Ayoung basically just said anything. She knew everything came out of her mouth did not make any sense at all. "Anyway, our mom and Taeyong's mom just sent us a lot of food. You and I know very well we don't eat often at home. So it's best to share, right?"
Johnny shut his mouth, kind of agree-not-agree. "You're being ridiculously nice after going out with Jaehyun," he mocked, which got himself a loving silence treatment.
Taeyong, Doyoung, Ten and Mark came first. Both Johnny and Ayoung welcomed them cheerfully and gave them a big hug as if they hadn't met for so long, while they literally just saw each other 3 days ago. Taeil, Haechan, Yuta and Yuno came a bit later. Both house owner greeted their guests the same way, yet after Taeil, Haechan and Yuta, Johnny blocked Ayoung's way to Yuno. Instead, Johnny didn't let Yuno go from his bear hug. Ayoung just rolled her eyes and left her brother with her boyfriend.
"I know you miss me but can you please let go of me now?" Yuno spoke in the midst of searching for some oxygen.
"I'm not letting you go today," Johnny said with a scary aegyo as he slightly dragged Yuno to the living room with a bit force.
"He really gets jealous ever since you start dating with Jaehyun, Noona," Taeyong commented, giggling at the two giants fighting over nothing.
"You mean being overprotective even more than he already is," she scoffed as she took out fruits from the fridge.
Mark who was next to Taeyong went straight for the watermelon that Ayoung already prepared specially for him. Just because she was very fond of the baby brother.
"It is still funny that he never changes his profile photo, so everyone still thinks he's not single," Mark added as he stuffed his mouth with watermelon cubes. The photo Mark mention was pretty much a public secret. It was a picture of her and Johnny at a beach, taken several years ago during a family vacation, with a pose that didn't really portray siblings relationship. Johnny's arm circling around Ayoung's waist, his smiling face captured in candid, and Ayoung resting her hand on Johnny's upper belly while showing her side body profile but her face beaming directly into the camera. Anybody would absolutely misunderstand them for being a couple. Not to mention the outfit they wore in the photo had similar patterns.
Tumblr media
Ayoung could only let out a bitter laugh. Johnny intentionally put that picture as his profile in chat messenger, so he could make an excuse if there's anyone suggested him for a blind date. These boys knew Ayoung had the same picture as her profile, and they laughed at her and it was all thanks to Johnny who always changed Ayoung's profile, to the extent Ayoung was too frustrated to change it again. So she just let Johnny do whatever he wanted. It kinda 'helped' her in a way that no men messed with her. Same with her brother, at least nobody interfered her love life and told her to go for a blind date. If someone asked about the guy in the photo, she could just make up some stories that they were in long distance relationship.
And one day came Jung Jaehyun, boldly brought himself before her and asked her out while no one dared because of her brother. The boys were pretty amused because Johnny often joked that he wouldn't introduce his sister to any of his members. He preferred someone older and he always mentioned someone like Kim Suho or Do Kyungsoo. That was pretty much the history explaining the current condition of the complicated relationship between Johnny and Jaehyun.
"Yo, Jay," Ten greeted Jaehyun who finally managed to escape.
"Thank goodness Lucas and the little brothers rang the bell," Yuno exhaled deeply as he joined the others. He immediately approached Ayoung who was deeply engaged in conversation with Taeyong,
Mark and Doyoung. "Hey," he greeted.
"Yuno," Ayoung brightly greeted him back and went into his arms. He smiled warmly at her and totally forgot for a second that it wasn't only the two of them in the room.
"Omo.. did she just say 'Yuno'?" Doyoung gasped dramatically.
"'Yuno'?" Ten repeated loudly and he couldn't help but cackling. The others started to parrot him and the name 'Yuno' was echoing.
"Vivian Seo! I did not raise you to behave like this!" Johnny exclaimed from the other corner in the room. His hands were on his waist, officially starting the drama. But everyone in the room couldn't really hold their laughter, including Jung Yuno who was safe in Ayoung's care.
Ayoung herself? She pretended not to hear him as she scooted even closer against Yuno, publicly showing affection, cuddling with him just to make Johnny even more frustrated. She even merong-ed at her younger brother several times.

The focus will be on the tipo kids mainly when Po and Tigress die hope that's ok and you still like the story. There will still be tipo fluff in here till then and the focus has been on po and tigress and their love story but when they pass it will go to the tipo kids but now this is how their kids find love... So without further a due, the here's the first part of my story on fanfiction.net, copied and pasted and if you wish to read the whole story or just this chapter, click the link:
*The next morning at the Jade Palace*
It was a cool frosty morning at the Jade Palace, and everyone woke up from their peaceful sleep. The air was cool and crisp with a gentle breeze. A fresh layer of snow fell the night before, and everyone was sleeping peacefully. Soon the two lovers Po and Tigress woke up, shared a warm, sweet good morning kiss and then gently woke up their sleeping teenage cubs. After they hugged and kissed each one and told them they loved them, which they said back happily, they waited for the morning gong to ring. Shortly after the gong rang, Po gave them their training instructions for the day and they all headed to the kitchen for breakfast.
*In the kitchen*
The four, Po and Tigress, along with Hannah, Jade, Zhan, and Kara sat down at the table and peacefully ate their warm breakfast that Po cooked. Po also passed out some hot tea which everyone seemed to enjoy and thank him for. While they ate and causually carried on conversations, Po and Tigress were discussing who would be going down to the noodle shop to help Mr. Ping. The four cubs usually took turns and they loved to help out their grandfather in the family noodle business.
"There's a winter festival later today so who should go help at the noodle shop, kitten?" Po asked gently as he held her paw while they ate.
"Hmm..." Tigress hummed thoughtfully then she smiled at her handsome husband. "Why don't you decide, hun? We are all going later aren't we?" Tigress asked softly giving his paw a squeeze while eating a cube of tofu and then turning to the noodles.
"Yes of course we are! But I can't seem to remember who's turn it was... ah, I'll figure it out." Po said with a warm smile.
Tigress gasped and blushed slightly at the sight of his smile. Just seeing it still gave her butterflies even after over a decade.
"You always do, hun." Tigress cooed softly and then started to eat the noodles that she still loved.
Meanwhile, the teenage cubs Hannah, Jade, Zhan, and Kara overheard their conversation about who's turn it was to help out at the noodle shop. The four began to have a small dispute on who's turn it was.
"Dad, I think it's my turn." Zhan spoke up truthfully after swallowing a dumpling.
"No, I think it's my turn!" Jade stated with a smirk. Then her sister Hannah butted in.
"No, it's not! You went last time, sis! Besides, I think it's my turn anyway." Hannah said with a cheeky grin putting her chopsticks down.
Kara just rolled her eyes but knew it was neither of theirs or even her own turn. They all loved their other grandpa, Mr. Ping and even though they rarely argued, they did have disagreements over who's turn it was to help.
"Hannah! Jade, sweetie. Don't fuss over it, let your father decide." Tigress interrupted gently and they stopped and bowed their heads sadly in shame.
"Ok, we're sorry, mama." They both said sadly.
"It's ok, just let your father choose." Tigress said lovingly with a smile to ease their guilt and then turned to Po with a smile.
The two apologized to each other and forgave each other with a hug and turned to listened to what their dad would say. Po stroked his gotee thoughtfully and suddenly, Po remembered who's turn it was and he spoke up.
"Zhan, you were right! It is your turn today; so after breakfast you may go and help your grandpa Ping!" Po said happily with a smile at his son who just grinned in response.
"Awesome!" Zhan exclaimed happily and then he turned to his siblings. "Sorry you guys, it'll be your turns next time." Zhan said softly with a cute, cheeky smile that he always had.
"It's ok, Zhan we'll see him later anyways. Have fun!" Jade said with a grin giving him a dumpling as Hannah and Kara nodded in agreement.
Zhan happily took the dumpling with an eager expression in his eyes. "Thanks sis!" Zhan said and then ate the dumpling with a grin and turned to the rest of his food and continued eating happily.
Jade simpily smiled at her brother. Then Jade and Hannah resumed their conversation with Kara about girl stuff. Tigress then turned to Po with a grin.
"I knew you'd figure it out." Tigress stated giving his paw a squeeze.
Po chuckled "Was there any doubt, sweetie?" Po asked raising a brow with a heart warming smile that Tigress loved.
"Nope." Tigress chuckled warmly and Po simply smiled and then they all continued their breakfast in peace.
After everyone finished breakfast, Hannah, Jade, and Kara hugged Zhan goodby for the day and they went to the training hall with the four to do their normal routine. Po and Tigress gave their son a hug and a kiss, which he returned. The two also gave him a dark green scarf with a matching green winter shawl to keep warm as the breeze was starting to pick up making the air colder than it actually was. Zhan happily thanked them for the clothing and he wraped the scarf around his neck and fastened the shawl around his neck, covering his shoulders, neck, back and part of his chest.
"I love you mom and dad, I'll be home some time after noon." Zhan said with the cute, furry-cheeked smile he always had.
"We love you too, Zhan and ok be safe and don't catch a cold." Tigress said lovingly as Zhan reached the doors of the hall of heros to leave.
"I'll be ok mama, don't worry." Zhan said with a grin and Tigress just smiled at her son as did Po.
They waved him goodbye as he opened the doors of the palace and stepped out from the warmth of the Jade Palace to the cold of the outside and shut the door behind him. Tigress turned to Po feeling a few tears in her eyes and she held his paw.
"Our little son is growing up too fast, Po just look at him." Tigress stated as the two remembered how much he's grown over the years.
"Yes, he definitely has my sweet kitten. Remember the time when he was younger and he used to chase Jade’s tail?" Po asked with a chuckled and Tigress laughed as her heart was warmed at the memory.
"How could I forget?" Tigress asked with a chuckle. "Jade was so scared." Tigress said as they both laughed and remembered that day.
Flashback
Zhan was a curious cub when he was younger and he was a natural hunter so that led him to chasing his sister Jade’s tail. Although Zhan didn't have a tail, he was curious of Jade’s and she didn't like this one bit. Tigress remembered hearing Jade’s footsteps fast approaching, and the scared look on her face with Zhan on all fours in hot pursuit behind her. Jade ran into her mother Tigress's arms and hid behind her from her brother. Zhan stopped in front of them and looked sad afterwards, but the whole thing was just so cute, Tigress just laughed it off. Tigress didn't scold him, but gently told Zhan that her tail wasn't a toy, and that he shouldn't scare his sister like that. Zhan apologized to Jade and the two made up with a hug like they always did and Zhan didn't chase her tail anymore after that.
End of Flashback
Tigress smiled warmly at the memory and Po chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Yeah I'll never forget that, kitten hehe." Po said softly and then Tigress turned to him.
"Me neither... now let's go train, hun." Tigress said and gave his cheek a warm lick making him blush.
Po nodded and the two headed off to the training hall.
Meanwhile, Zhan was outside admiring the snowy scenery as he walked through the courtyard to the thousand steps. It was a beautiful day even though the sky was grey appearing like it would snow again. Zhan hummed happily as he started down the thousand steps to the valley below to the noodle shop. About halfway down, the wind picked up again making the snow on the ground swirl around him in a very pretty way. Zhan sighed blissfully and his breathe vaporized as it hit the cold air. He then adjusted the shawl around his neck and shoulders a bit to stay warm. Soon he got the bottom of the thousand steps and came to the valley below where there was decorations and banners everywhere. It truly was a beautiful sight seeing all the decorations and the people of the valley preparing for the festival later that day.
The streets of the valley were swept clean of the snow and so were all the stores. As Zhan came into the town, the villagers greeted him warmly as they always did, happy to see the son of Po and Tigress that they all adored.
"Good morning Zhan, nice to see you as always!" A goose said warmly from his marketplace shop.
"Good morning Mr. goose, it's nice to see you too!" Zhan replied mannerly with a charming smile.
An older female pig walked by him and complimented his scarf and shawl as she walked by.
"I like the scarf and shawl! It looks good on you, Zhan stay warm!" She complimented warmly.
"Thanks ma'am and I will!" Zhan replied with a smile as he continued down the street to the noodle shop.

This is the best time of your life: Report from a motherhood (2020) by Emma Bouvin
I rarely find myself enjoying books about motherhood since i kind of lack those parent instincts myself, but i found this book highly endearing!
Emma, the author, is blunt with us right away that at age 29, she felt an intense need of wanting to become a mother. She dated guys til she found someone who wasn't bothered by the idea of having kids either.
In this book, Emma takes us through the pregnancy up til the oldest kid (she births 2, a boy and a girl) reach age 6. She shares details about the changes in her body, how the everyday life is forever changed, to discussing stigma around parenthood in general.
Emma even tell us about that time her daughter almost died from "colon in thorax", which is when intestine crawl up a hole in the diaphragm and sets itself over the lungs, pushing the heart out of sync - which i had no idea even was a thing !! Scary!
This event lead to Emma developing a severe overprotective habit of her daughter, which also takes us through therapy that helped her overcome this fear of death.
What i really liked about her writing is how she was blunt and honest about the frustrating things kids do and act (understandably since they haven't properly developed yet til at least age 20), instead of sugarcoating with the typical "love overcomes everything", instead gives actually honesty about having to sacrifice pieces of yourself to make way for her kids future. It felt very helpful and enlightening in a way! 4/5 stars

I'll start on Monday (2013) by Charlotta Lithman
So this book sells itself as a blog-like journal about the author, a newly divorced dessert-copywriter mother, that with help of two health and fitness coaches aim to ..
• change her food- and fitness habits to the better
• get better overall health
• lose weight
However, if i would summarize the content of this book, they would be..
• Parmesan addict with cheese abstinence
• Wasting food is cool
• Single woman struggles to live without a M A N
Haven't been this frustrated with a book for the longest time, the amount i found myself sighing to keep myself sane was indefinite!
The book starts fine by introducing herself, her current state and goals. She then starts small by finding a love for running, which is very encouraging and motivating to read! But then at the food diet, the story kinda spirals out of control.
Everytime when dining out or buying instant food, the author uses a technique which she buys a dish - TOSSES big parts of it, to only eat the "healthy" stuff. Like when eating a pizza, she scrapes of the content and eat just that.
It's insanely frustrating to read about wasting food, and having it presented as something genius. I had to double check the publication year because it was so crazy to think this is a way to treat food today. Cooked pasta, potatoes and rice straight to the bin. She must have tossed serval kilos of good food just alone.
Beside food talk (she includes recipes, which is nice) there's a constant mentioning of her favorite food/treat - parmesan cheese. She can't for the love of herself stop talking about this stupid cheese, and it gets so frustrating to read this repetitive theme. Soon the recipes even have sprinkles of parmesan in them when it's really not necessary. She indulgence a cube almost every single day, and when she isn't - she simply talks about it. The book should have just been like, a parmesan cheese romance.
Another thing she have a habit of talking pages and pages about is - men. At first, you are understandable, because she's newly divorced and still have feelings for the ex. But then she lets her house literally fall apart and stresses it's because there's no man in the house to fix these things, ARGH.
She's also very clumsy, many times we are told of situations that is the very definition of clumsiness. This could apparently also only be neutralized if there were a man around.
She goes on dates and define each guy by these very shallow things of how she picture a man to be. Then mope and whine (in this uncomfortable deep emo-esque writing) when she doesn't click with anyone. The serval rants of "being single sucks" in this book is ridiculous, like get it together!! Your life doesn't crumble because of lack of men.
Maybe the worst of all, she's suppose to be guided by two health and fitness coaches. These professionals are introduced in the beginning of the book, making me very excited, only to then never be seen again. Which is crazy because this book project were suppose to use these people as guidelines. They're her pillars!
The only times she ever mentions these people, is when she asks if something is allowed. Like allowed to eat tacos, allowed to skip morning jog. Yes or No. I'm screaming internally, i want to hear what knowledge they can abide for the reader! But no, more cheese and crying over men.
Did she reach her goal? We don't know, she never mentioned any numbers, only that in the end her clothes feel "loose", and that she built up better stamina from running. So yes, i guess?
I wouldn't recommend this book to any of my friends that is on a weight loss journey, since this book would probably just make them sad about being single and develope some suspicious abstinence for parmesan. I didn't enjoy myself. 1/5 stars

I can't help but cry.. I can't help but cry right now. With what life chose for me, what others dictate. I am not truly in control. Not until I destroy who I was. Not until I'm gone, while anything that was annoying would dissappear like me. Maybe thats for the better. If I dissappeared. All together. Then the girl who I like could just talk to the boy who she has interest in. obviously more interested in me. I give up. I give up. Cutting can relieve the pain and drinking...
I'm going t start by saying that I am truly sorry you're going through that. Please don't hurt yourself. I understand that harming yourself and drinking are methods that help us feel something. Let me tell you: it's not worth it on the long run. I can't think of a single time when those methods have improved anything, ever, not in the situation that you're in. Some people enjoy trailing ice cubes where they'd normally cut themselves to cure the itch, so to speak. Stop, smell the air around you, observe the people in the room, take a minute to enjoy your food, understand your surroundings and it works. Little things like that make you feel alive and can help you realize that there IS more to life than where you are right now. Nothing can last forever. I don't know what kind of situation you're in (it's fine if you don't want to share, I'm not a professional) but it sounds like one of your problems derives from being in love with someone? Pain of that sort can be difficult to cope with; it feels like you can't breath and you can't seem to understand when will the pain go away or how you'll move on. The answer is: you WILL move on. You're still here, for your own reasons. That means you're still fighting. YOU care about what happens to YOU. So keep fighting for yourself, for the moment when things might improve. Love is beautiful but it's also intoxicating. It's like a drug we can't live without. It's a nice feeling when its reciprocated and accepted. Please keep that in mind. If you two can't be together right now, maybe it will work or in the future. If the other person is not actively trying to be with you, it's not worth it. And you're better off saving all that love for someone who truly deserves it. If they are, you'll find a way. Love always finds a way, as cliched as it sounds. But if you harm yourself, you won't be there to enjoy it when it happens. Hang in there. Nothing bad lasts an eternity. It's worth being around for the good things in life.
