Australian Rituals / Teeth of God Tour Bingo
Alroighte gwois, let's hear your predictions for the upcoming rituals. I *might* make another bingo (like on Wembley) - even if I don't, let's get them all in one place cus I think it's funny.
If you have something specifically for the Teeth of God Tour (because they are headliners and can do Coolerâą Fancierâą stuff) do specify. Same for strictly Australian Rituals. Some stuff may happen earlier (like when they debuted TMBTE and the new Espera masks), others may only happen on the Tour, so let's just put them all here and see what happens đâïž
Please reblog/put on the replies your predictions!! Whether serious or silly, please share!
Mine are:
One of the Vessels (Vessel or ivy OR Espera!!!!) singing onstage with Oli
Kangaroo/koala headbands / Aussie Explorer hat
EUCLID (more for Teeth of God but wouldn't be surprised if earlier)
The Apparition (PLEASE)
The Summoning pushups will return
Older song throwback (please please Sugar or Jaws. TNDNBTG for ToG)
Outfit change for the Vessels (only cus i think Australia is quite hot now innit? poor iv will MELT in that jacket)
NEW VESSEL JEWELLERY
This one I'm not super confident/keen on BUT new Vessel mask with Antlers (more likely on ToG but who knows)

from one leader to another
some skz x bts siblings x flirty fluff - @kayleefriedchicken hope u like it :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You roamed the city aimlessly, desperately trying to find the perfect present for your younger brotherâs birthday.Â
âFuck, fuck, fuckâ, you muttered under your breath as you noticed the time.Â
One hour left.
You had exactly one hour to find the right gift or else everybody at his party would judge you as the worst sister of the century. You didnât forget about his present, in fact you put a lot of thought into it but what do you get someone that already has everything? Why was this so hard for you?Â
Your inner pity monologue got interrupted as your phone rang.
âChannieâ, you greeted him, hoping he wouldnât notice your dismay.
âYou sound stressed. You good?â
Damn it. His little brother senses always tingled when you were in a crappy mood.
âPromise you wonât hate me?â
His laughter filled the line.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm going crazy because of your stupid birthday present!â, you whined in annoyance.
âY/N, my birthday party starts in an hour and you still have no present? Damn, do you hate me?â, he chuckled amused.
âStop making fun of me and help me instead?â
âHelp you how?â
âOh, I donât know - maybe actually tell me what you want?â
Chan laughed again.
âI did tell you!â
You sighed in exasperation.
âThe fuck you did! Every time I ask you what I can get you, you tell me shit like âI just want you to be healthy and happy. Oh, and find a boyfriend already and get married and have kids, so mom wonât pester me about itâ. Not helpful, Chan!â, you mocked him.
He burst out laughing, which pissed you off even more.
âIâm sure youâll figure it out, y/nnie. Iâm going to hang up, the boys are already here. See you in an hour.â
You angrily massaged your temples, not knowing what to do. Minutes after you hung up, Chan sent you a text - a picture of him with various presents from his friends, smiling giddily into the camera.
âThat little shitâ, you muttered under your breath.
Just you wait - Iâll figure this out!
 You had to be strategic about it - most of the shops were about to close anyway, so which one would you go to?
The ones with clothing? You shook your head as you recalled how much clothes he already had not only at his place but also yours.
The ones with books? Nah, that boy rarely reads, you argued with yourself.
Come on, think y/n. You can do this.
âOhâ, you jumped excitedly, as you had finally figured it out.
You walked straight to the biggest fragrance shop you could find, wandering in front of the menâs aisle.
âWhoa, those are a lotâ, you noticed.Â
The shelves were filled with various flacons - colorful or bland, minimalistic or eccentric, cheap or ridiculously expensive.
ïżœïżœïżœFuck, how am I supposed to find the right one before the shop closes?â
As your eyes scanned the shelves you noticed two teenage girls next to you, giggling and whispering about some guy close to you.
âHe is so hot, oh my godâ, one of them whispered.
âI know and he smells soooo goodâ, the other one agreed.
You cautiously turned your head, curious about the guy they were talking about.Â
âDamnâ, you whispered under your breath.
He was good looking! He was tall and built like a greek god, muscular yet lean. His dark long hair suited his handsome face perfectly, adding to his chic yet urban style. You didnât notice yourself wander closer to him, as you were too engulfed analyzing his features. You chuckled as you noticed his hair fall into his brown eyes, he clumsily pushed the strands away from his face but they fell back every time. He had a sharp gaze, observing the perfumes in front of him with precision.Â
âI bet heâs hella smartedâ, you mumbled silently.
Finally, you were standing right next to him. You closed your eyes, as you took him all in, his presence was mesmerizing. Shit, those girls were right. He smells amazing, you thought to yourself, lost in your mind altogether.Â
The stranger turned around with wide eyes, asking you bluntly: âDid you just smell me?â
You opened your eyes abruptly, embarrassed to the core.Â
âI, uh, ha, yeah, so, funny storyâ, you rambled shyly.Â
He crossed his arms in front of his broad chest and faced you, a sly smile on his lips.
âIâm listening.â
You cursed yourself internally but decided to spill the truth.
âYou see I am here because I need a gift. Not any gift but THE gift. And I was standing over there overlooking all these perfumes as I heard some teenagers giggle and gush about you.â
He averted his gaze to the right and looked at the two girls behind you who turned around abruptly, hiding their faces.
âGo onâ, he mumbled as he looked at you again.
âSo, yeah, they were saying how good you smelled and since I need that perfect gift I thought I would find out for myself.â
He leaned his head to the side as he was listening to you ramble.
âAnd you thought smelling me, a mere stranger, was the best way to go about it?â
âIn hindsight? No. But I am desperate, so cut me some slack. Please.â
He let out a deep sigh and uncrossed his arms, picking up the perfume he was wearing and handing it over to you.
âThatâs the oneâ, he pointed out.
You observed the package, it looked hella expensive but it did smell divine.Â
âThank youâ, you whispered.Â
âDo you need it for your boyfriend?â
You laughed out loud, not realizing that he was serious about it.
âNo. I donât have a boyfriend. This one is for my brother.â
âAhâ, he nodded.Â
Now, that the shock was gone, you noticed the strangerâs voice - deep and raspy, a melodic sound you would have loved to listen to for longer. Sadness formed in your gut as he turned around, ending this conversation now that you had what you wanted.
âHey, wait.â
He turned around again, looking at you expectantly. Damn, why did he have to be so handsome? Okay, focus, Y/N, focus.
âI kinda feel like owning you an apology for sniffing you, so uhm, sorryâŠ?â
âJoonâ, he replied.
âJoon?â
âYeah, actually Namjoon but you can call me Joon.â
Gosh, his name is just as pretty as he is.
âAnd whom does the sniffing nose belong to?â
âY/Nâ, you stretched out your hand, waiting for him to shake it.
Namjoon smiled warmly as he shook your delicate hand.Â
âNice to meet you, Y/N.â
Nice to meet you, too, Joon.Â
His presence made you feel warm, and comfortable.Â
âSo, whenâs the party?â
You took a glance at your wrist, cursing yourself for arriving late.
âStarted 30 minutes agoâ, you confessed.
âSo what, you forgot about the present?â
âNoâ, you exclaimed agitated.
âI just.. Itâs hard to shop for him, thatâs all.â
âSo, you were looking for the perfect gift, is that it?â
You nodded, not entirely convinced that a perfume would be it but you were left with no options.
âWhat about you? Shopping for yourself?â
âYeah, I was kinda looking for the next perfume that you would sniff on me, actuallyâ, he mused jokingly.
Wait, what was he saying?
âWouldnât your girlfriend be mad about that?â
Clearly, someone like him had to be taken already. Namjoonâs eyes widened in surprise - were you that oblivious?
âI donât have one. So sniff me all you wantâ, he smiled sneakily.
You looked down, cheeks rosy and shy from this playful banter.
âExcuse me but we are closing the shop right now. Please buy something or leave, thank youâ, the store clerk interrupted the two of you.
âOh sure, sorry!â, you marched to the front, paying for the ridiculously expensive perfume while Namjoon was following you. You stood outside the store for a while, getting to know each other and flirting candidly.Â
You learned that he was an artist, who worked with his hands a lot. He loved to read and rhyme on his own, often hanging out at public libraries and hidden bookstores. You bit your lip as you were right about him, he was a smart one.
Smart. Handsome. Funny. And into me. What were the odds?
âDo you think your brother will like the perfume?â
You shrugged your shoulders, not really sure if that was the best gift after all. You recalled his words in your mind âbe happy and healthy and get a boyfriendââŠ
Suddenly, a new idea flooded your consciousness.
âHey Joon?â, you asked out of the blue.
âHm?â
âWhat are you doing tonight?â
âNothing, actually. Iâm free like a birdâ, he cheered warmly.Â
Jackpot.
âWanna come with me? Be my date for tonight?â

hey love can you make headcanons about being pregnant with yandere klaus mikaelson's daughter (hope)
pregnant with yandere Klaus Mikaelsons daughter:
He is with you all the damn time. You donât get a second alone because what if something happened? what if someone tried to get to you? what if you fell?
You thought he was possessive before? Your only seat is his lap with one of his hands on your stomach and the other squeezing your hand while he sucks love bites into your neck
If anyone looks at you for a second too long his hand is wrapped around their throat. One time Elijah was complimenting your âpregnancy glowâ and Klaus snapped his beck before sweeping you off your feet and taking you out for lunch
To begin with Klaus tried to put you on a strict diet so your daughter would be healthy but when the pregnancy hormones kicked in, you bottom lip quivering and your eyes filling with tears because you wanted something else he couldnât handle the disappointment in your eyes and the thought of his baby hating him made him give in
When he found out it would be a girl he was overjoyed. His own little princess with your lovely features and his power, what more could he possibly want?
You fell pregnant shortly after being able to go outside. Since carrying his baby you no longer have that privilege, you are confined to the compound and sometimes a room when you threaten to leave if he doesnât calm down
He struggles to understand your hormones and ends up smashing things when you aggravate him which results in your tears and his apologies and promises of being better
Klaus has multiple wardrobes of baby clothes waiting for your little girl as well as a wide selection of âfun activitiesâ for her to take part in once sheâs big enough
There is a bookshelf full of parenting books all of which he has studied and is fully prepared for her to be born
Occasionally he realises heâs being too much and allows you half an hour alone before returning to you and laying with you under the covers
Sometimes you still engage in intimate activities which normally just means you being led there while he rocks into you and tells you how much he loves you. When your bump had started growing he began to take advantage of any position you could still get yourself into but once you were too big he worried heâd harm you or the baby so opted to just taste you and play with your breasts
When you go into labour he panics and screams for Rebekah. He holds your hand the entire time and has a heavy glare at the witches delivering your baby as they faff about
Once your daughter is handed to him he tells you how gorgeous she is and perfect she is, he wonât let you hold her to begin with worried you would try and run away with her like you had claimed you would in the heat of a fight
After you started sobbing to hold your baby he let you have her and climbed into the bed with you and put you both on his chest rubbing your arm and whispering âim sorry sweetheartâ and âi love you both so so muchâ on repeat
Only you or him were allowed with your precious little Hope for the first few weeks
You held her as much as you possibly could, Niklaus had to practically drag her from your arms so that you could do basic things like eat and wash
After a while Klaus asked Rebekah to look after her sometimes so that he could have time with you alone and show you how much he adored you, your dinner dates became regular again and he continued to share baths with you. He would massage your body knowing the stress you went through being pregnant and giving birth and he also helps you breast pump
He still probably takes care of you more than Hope but itâs just because he canât bare the thought of anything happening to you, youâre only human and he needs you to stay alive for him and now for your baby

I'm so excited to participate in your augtickletober! For number 28, please consider writing lee kirishima! with ler todoroki from my hero academia hehehe, a relaxing massage seems nice~
By the way if the number is already taken, feel free to change to any numbers (probably number 29 or 24 as backups just in case 28 got taken), thank youu!!
TickleTober Day 28 - Massage
Oooooh not a pairing I write for often! Still, the skrimblos must have their fun. Kiri would be the kinda guy to massage his friends, so nice! I hope you Enjoy!
Lee: Todoroki
Ler: Kirishima
Summary: A stressed-out Todoroki passes Kirishima, the boyâs mama-bear instincts kicking in. An innocent massage to help him relax leads to a rather tickly situation.
Warnings: none! This is a tickle fic, so if you don't like that, scroll away!!
Todoroki was stressed, to say the least. Working tirelessly to get his Provisional License, training hard to stay on top, and regular classwork had him going pretty much non-stop. Cold soba was his only escape, and even that was starting to lose its effect. It was all wearing on him, keeping his muscles tense and eyes sunken with dark bags.
The dual-quirked teen sauntered into the dormâs kitchen, in search of his comfort food. His shoulders ached from tension, his neck and back in similar condition. The cold soba was the only thing he wanted at that moment. When he opened the fridge door, though, he deflated. âDamn itâŠâ He had forgotten to make more the night before, exhausted from another night of rigorous training.
Kirishima walked into the room, a bright smile on his face. âHey, Todoroki! Howâs itâŠgoing.â He saw the other studentâs tired, saddened form, concern blooming on his face. âAre you okay, man?â
He sighed, closing the door and cutting off the cool air. Was he okay? He wasnât sure he knew the answer himself. âUhmâŠyes. Why do you ask?âÂ
That only made the bubbly teenâs brows furrow. âBecause you look very not okay. Youâre more tense than Aizawa sensei after dealing with Bakubro and Midoriya.â He smiled softly, a small huff of air escaping him. Though they didn't interact much, Todo knew he could trust the boy and enjoyed his company. âMaybe I am a little wound up.â
Kiri chuckled, getting a bit closer and opening the fridge. He noticed the lack of his classmateâs favorite dish. âIf you want, I could help. Iâm not the greatest cook, but I could try and make you some soba. Maybe a massage or something.â
The massage option caught his attention. He was stupidly tense; he could use a break. âI wouldnât mind a massage, if youâre willing to give one.â
âSo formal, Todobro. Youâve gotta loosen up a bit.â He was more than happy to help out his classmate, moving over to one of the dorm couches. âAnd of course, Iâm happy to. You wanna sit down and Iâll help?â
He nodded, following him and sitting down beside the red-haired teen. Normally, he wouldnât have been so accepting of the concerned gesture. Midoriya and the others had been working with him on asking for help, though; it was working. Kiri went right to work, rubbing circles in his shoulders. It was unfair how quickly the tension began to ease.
Eijirou moved methodically, working to ease his peerâs tense muscles. The sheer amount of knots he had to work out concerned him. âJeez, man. Youâve really gotta take more breaks. This isnât healthy.âÂ
A small hum came from the tense teen; he was too lost in the calming feeling to do much else. At first, when Kiri was working his shoulders, it felt wonderful. He could feel the tension leaving, the tight pains fading to dull aches or going entirely.
As time passed, Kirishimaâs hands wandered, moving to the base of his ribs and back. A small, annoying buzz came with the release, making him smile. Todoroki squirmed a little, trying to distract himself from the feeling.
Kirishima noticed the squirms, pulling his hands away. âYou good? Sorry if I hurt you, Iâm a little rusty.â Of course thatâs where his mind went. That boy was too kind. âNo, itâs fine. Just needed to move.â With a nod, the massage continued, right back at the dreaded spot.
Okay, that was fine. He could handle a little buzzing, no problem. At least, he thought he could, until Kirishima moved upwards again, gently poking his neck to feel for tension. Todo went rigid, a small giggle escaping him. Oh, he was screwed.
âTodorokiâŠare you ticklish?â Previous statement retracted. Kirishima wasnât nice at all for asking. He knew the answer already, and knew the other boy would lie. âUh, no. Just, um, thought of something funny.â
Bullshit. Kiri sniffed out the obvious lie, deciding to toy with his friend. âOkay then. Iâll be more gentle, just because.â He went back to massaging the other teenâs neck, making sure to scritch his nails on the skin every once in a while. Todoroki bit his lip, thankful his back was to the hero-in-training. Rosy cheeks and a poorly suppressed smile didnât really help his case.
This continued for about a minute; Kiishima gently massaging the other teen, occasionally letting his nails scrape the sensitive skin, and Todoroki trying desperately to stay quiet. The bright boyâs patience was wearing thin, and although heâd love to continue massaging his friend, the giggle was too enticing. He gave up on subtlety, going and simultaneously squeezing both Todorokiâs sides.
He muffled a yelp, jolting forwards and grabbing the crimson studentâs hands. There was no denying it now; Todoroki was ticklish, and Kirishima was gonna help him let loose. Kiri wrapped his legs around the otherâs torso, pulling him back and against his chest. It was a classic Kiri play-fight move, one most of the other students feared and loved; it meant that he was about to get it.
Ten fingers drilled into both his sides, pulling a few surprised giggles from the serious teen. He tried to squirm out of it, but he was essentially trapped in a hug; pinned both around the middle by wiggling fingers and waist by strong legs, Todoroki was trapped. He probably couldâve burned his way out of the hold, but he would never purposefully hurt his classmate.Â
âWow, so wiggly, Todobro. Iâm just trying to get you to relax! Like these sides, they must be tense if youâre fighting it this much!â He knew that wasnât why he was squirming so much, but it was an âexcuseâ to continue the tickling. Besides, teasing him was fun. He experimentally scribbled Todoâs navel, The results were better than he couldâve hoped for.
âK-KIHIRISHIMAHA! NOHOHO!â He practically squealed when he felt the boyâs nails on his belly button, his cheeks almost matching his left hair as he laughed. Kirishima adored the sound, happy that his classmate trusted him enough to cut loose like that. He didnât really have much of a choice, but still. âAww, there we go. You gotta release all that inner turmoil and stress, bro. Laughter is perfect!â
His well-meaning teases were completely unfair. Todoroki drummed his feet on the couch, twisting and shoving at his classmateâs hands. He didnât totally hate what was happening, but still, it tickled! He just wished Kiriâs nails were focusing anywhere but his belly button. âMOHOHOVE! COHOME OHOHOHON!âÂ
Feeling merciful, he did as he was asked, instead focusing his fingers on the candy-cane boyâs sides.Loud laughter gave way to sweet giggles, surprisingly bright for such a serious kid. âKihiri- Kihirishihihimaha! Whyhihihi?â
âWhy? Youâre stressed, thatâs why. Iâve never seen someone so determined to have an aneurysm before adulthood before. You could do with some giggles.â He squeezed his navel, making Todoroki emphasize it with a squeal. âLike that! Very cute, by the way. You should laugh more.â
Such a jerk! He wanted to protest anything Kirishima had just claimed, but he couldnât. Truth was, the tickling was helping. While giggly and flustered, he was much less tense than when heâd arrived. He also felt much happier, though he attributed that to human interaction rather than the goofy touch.Â
Kiri could tell he was enjoying himself, at least to an extent. He hadnât heard the actual word âstopâ once. A certain sound, though, made him halt the touch. Was thatâŠ?
*grrrrrrlm*
Todorokiâs cheeks somehow got redder, that time from embarrassment. His stomach had growled rather loudly, reminding him of his long day and skipped meals. Kirishima was the one to laugh then, releasing his friend from the tickly hold. âOhokay, your stomachâs got an opinion. Think we should get you some food, huh Todoroki?â
The half-and-half teen mumbled something under his breath, but nodded in agreement. He was hungry, and some cold soba would be nice. Kirishima chuckled, heading back to the dorm kitchen to prepare some grub for him and his friend.Â
Todoroki looked after him, a small smile on his face. He felt much better than he had before, his dampened spirits lifted by the other studentâs silliness. He got up, following to help with the dish. Heâd have to ask for massages more oftenâŠ

Could I request yandere hcs for Riddler from arkham knight vr?
đ„Yandere Arkham Knight VR Riddler hcsđ„
OOOO- this got ideas flowing! This was super fun to write! I feel as if it's an underused concept too.
!Warnings!: this content contains toxic/forced relationship dynamic, yandere trope, kidnapping, reality shifting, being trapped in a videogame, self aware character, paranoia, cyberstalking
Yanderes are OK in fiction. They should stay fiction. They are not example of healthy relationships. These behaviors are NOT okay in real life. This is for entertainment purposes
-----------------------------------------------------
âIt was all fun and games. Literally. You ran around the vr world of gotham with no thoughts of anything going on behind the scenes.
âWhen Riddler first popped up, taunting and challenging you like usual, it surprised you. Maybe even startled you a little with his greeting.
"So I've finally found you. Yes. You. The brains behind the brawn."
âYou figured it was just a clever voiceline detail. Making him self aware and all. RIddler had broken the 4th wall in the past, and Arkham Knight VR wouldn't be the first game to do this kinda thing. Take DDLC for example. It was just a gag. Right?
âYou found the riddlers secrets just fine, picking up little cube after cube, faster than most actually. It was fun, challenging rewarding. You'd talk throughout the game to yourself and make some witty jokes. You thought nothing of it, but something else surely did.
âYou notice.. maybe after a month. The voicelines seem- they feel, more personal. More directed. More specific, but they're still vague. It was just a coincidence right? Maybe the game was just reading off the information from your VR and connected accounts.
âSo the games coutinue! Nothing gets better. He starts talking during segments you know he isn't supposed be. You start to see glimpses of green out of the corner of your eye. Did you meerely get a buggy defective game? Was paranoia fogging your brain? Were you going insane?
âYou take a break from the game. Hoping it will relive the stress you were under. You do some chores, go out on a walk, and play some games on your phone or PC.. which are running slower than usual. Strange, you could have sworn it fine yesterday. You check for viruses, nothing. You turn it on and off. It helps a bit. You free up some storage and It's back to working order for the most part.
âYou find various electronics turned on when you could have sworn they were off. They're running slow again, barely working. The only thing that works is the VR game.. you reluctantly put the headset on.
âIt was fine at first. Then it wasn't. He was talking directly to you. Referring to you by your name. Taunting you. Telling you personal information he couldn't have gotten. Appearing in the darkness of the out of bounds area in front of you. Your heart and mind racing as he gets closer, you desperately reach up to pull the headset off-
âOnly to find nothing. There's nothing. No headset to pull off. No controllers in your hand. Nothing. Unable to go back. The only thing you're greeted which is the Riddler standing in front of you.. face to face. Only inches away.
"It's not so much of a game anymore is it?"

hi i hope your doing amazing !!! could i request one with pedri were the reader has a stutter and he helps her go through a day weâre she can barley talk without stuttering? i have a stutter and itâs pretty hard sometimes and it would mean a lot if u could do it but if not thatâs totally okay !! stay hydrated and healthy physically and mentally!!!<3
Hi dear! Hope everything's going well with you too, hope you like this, pls let me knowâš
Stutter Problems -P.G8
Summary: When your stutter gets too much, your boyfriend is there for you.
You remember when you met Pedro and his brother when they came into your family's bakery, slowly they made themselves loyal customers and eventually you developed a friendship with both GonzĂĄlez brothers.
You couldn't believe it when the youngest of the two brothers asked you out in a date, you thought it was a friendly date but eventually got surprised when he confessed his liking towards you.
And it was shocking to you... He could have millions of girls, pretty girls; maybe prettier than what you could ever be, more confident, with money, with the greatest body ever and mostly girls who didn't have the same little problem as you did. Stutter.
But he didn't gave up, you liked him too and eventually you gave in into him pushing your fear aside.
In the first months of dating him you were expecting in any moment an outburst from him saying how he couldn't handle your stutter and leave you like you pasts boyfriends have done.
None of that happened, in fact, it was quite the opposite. He helped you with it.
It wasn't that bad, you could say 20 words and only stutter in 2 of them and mostly since you have been taking care of it since little with the help of your family and now your boyfriend and his family but when you got nervous, stressed out or angry, your stuttering intensified.
But today, wasn't at your side. Ever since you woke up and struggled with a little "Good morning" you knew today was going to be awful for you and your problem.
A lot of persons in your class made fun of you but you tried to ignore them, you were glad your three best friends mocked them too and went that ahead to judge their size and mock them for it as they grew embarrassed for it.
You had a presentation and almost made a fool of yourself, thank god, that class understood your problem and they had patience with you.
When you were walking at noon from the bakery to your home a woman asked you for a direction and when you stuttered five times in a row to give the name of the street she smiled at you and left you there with the words on your mouth.
On top of that, when you made it back home, you saw in your phone a professor decided to do a pop quiz and you lost fifteen minutes of it.
You were at the verge of tears when you heard the door being open and you heard your boyfriend's voice.
"Bonita, ya llegué" (I'm home)
"Li-li-li" You sighed "Living ro-room" You covered your face with your hands and soon felt a kiss being given to your temple and one of Pedro's hands on your shoulder rubbing lovingly
"Hola"
"Hola" You said back still covering your face.
You heard his breathing and then you felt his hands pulling yours from your face "What's up?"
"Stuttering is wha-wha-wha-what's up" You groaned at the end of your sentence throwing your head back
"Is today one of those days?" He asked carefully his thumb caressing the back of your hand softly
"I ju-just fe-feel like the wo-world's against me"
"If the world's against you then it's against me too" You smile softly
"Cheesy"
"How was class?"
"A-awful. I stuttered like I've ne-ne-never do-do-done it in my who-whole life"
"You feel stressed?"
"I just hate the-the fa-fact I have thi-this thin-thin- Fuck!" You groan once more letting this time a few tears go down your face, you pulled your hands out of Pedro's hold but he pushed yours down and cleaned your tears.
"Let's calm down, okay? How about I make you some tea? Your favorite, uh? Lemon with honey?" You nodded crying "We can cuddle after that and maybe order some chinese food... It's your favorite and I bet you haven't eaten anything"
"I brought some ca-ca-cachitos from the ba-bakery"
"Gracias bonita, we can also eat them later if you want" You nod "But how do some lumpias with sweet and sour sauce sound?"
"Go-good"
"We can watch some of Moana, I know you like to sing along to You're Welcome" You smile nodding
"It's a really go-good a-and catchy song"
"It is" Pedro smiled "Is this saved?" He pointed to the work on your laptop
"It's done actually" You smiled to yourself
You made the first sentence of the day without stuttering.
"Well, then I guess we can do this" He turned off your laptop and put it to charge "I'll be right back" He left towards the kitchen but you wanted to hold him, so after a few seconds he left, you stood up and went to him.
"¿Me extrañaste?" (missed me?) You hummed hugging yourself to his torso and burying your face into his chest
"Lo siento si estoy siendo muy necia" (Sorry if I'm being too clingy)
"Nunca lo eres, bonita" (You are never)
You waited a few more minutes in silence just enjoying his hold on you as he waited for the water to boil and texted in his phone.
"Hold me this?" He asked giving you his phone and grabbing your mug of tea
"Wha-what do you ne-need to-AH!" He picked you up making your legs go around his waist "ÂĄPEDRO GONZĂLEZ!"
"That's me" He smirked when the doorbell rang, he set you on the couch and gave you the control "Set Moana up, I'll be right back"
"How much food did you asked for?" You asked watching him come back
"I asked three services of lumpia, two for you, one for me and some rice for us" He said shrugging his shoulders
"ÂĄAmor!"
"TĂș, tranquila. Let's relax" (You, calm) "Everything for mi niña bonita" You blushed as he got comfortable behind you so you could rest your back on his chest
"Anything I can do to pay for your calm services back?" He smiled
"Love me, take care of me and sing You're welcome at the top of your lungs"
"My stutter-" He cut you off
"We'll sing it and done! Your stuttering only makes me love you more"

Ooohh I'm late
How I am glad to know you have a "slow time" to breath. I know full well about that đ€Łđ€Ł
And the WIP lists look so intriguing!! Good luck đ„°
*cough* do any of that got a Yor whump in it? *cough* (a purely curious question)
Anyway, I totally love your art style. I can't wait to see more of your art đ„°
Also please do tell about your art sideblog if you already made one, so I can follow it đ„°
Thank you so much đ€ I hope you also have enough leisure time to relax after working hard too.
Yor's whump? To be honest, despite my hobby of putting Loidy in "situation"(TM) for fun, I don't feel comfortable doing the same to Yor.
... How do I explain this?
Unlike her hubby (and daughter to an extend), in my eyes, Yor is not really a gag character (aka a stress toy to mess around with). Yeah, she was included in many humorous scenes in the manga, but the way Endo-sensei handles her, if I'm reading his cues correctly, was meant to be more serious and very caring. So, unless I manage to think of a plot for it, I just like drawing her and Anya being happy and healthy đ
Now that's been said and out of the way, I think you will like the upcoming comic "Bad Omen", it's in Yor's POV and she's not happy in it. That's all I will say đ€Ą
Also, a bonus rough sketch for you as a thank-you for your ask đ€

Gwen with a girlfriend who gets hurt
Pairing: Gwen Stacy x Fem! reader
Tw: Mentions of self-harm, nothing really graphic but still don't read if you don't feel comfortable.
(English is not my first language)
Here's your request, I did my best to keep this interesting without being too extreme (I like lighter stuff), I hope you like it and enjoy @jas-the-shrimp
Gwen with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ Firstly and obviously, she would be super worried, so...likeâŠbasically panicking if she caught you in the middle of it, she would probably need a second to compose herself before she could actually help you; taking a few deep breaths and going to get the first aid kit, sitting cautiously next to you and very carefully starting to inspect your wounds.
Gwen together with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ Who will pay attention to every little wound, whatever type they may be; she will clean and dress quickly and efficiently, trying to make things easier, even if just a little; she would kiss each of her bandages, she would put colored Band-aids on the little bruises and if they were too big for that, she would simply put the Band-aids and small stickers over the bandages.
Gwen together with a self-harming girlfriend â------ Who would let you cry if you needed to or dry your tears, hugging you close to her chest and giving you the sweetest affirmations of affection.
Gwen with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ I would think a lot before actually saying anything about the situation, she doesn't want to pressure you and would completely understand if you want stay silent for a while. But assuming you want to talk, she'll be all ears, just letting you open up and sometimes talking back to you gently.
Gwen together with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ Who would do everything to create a welcoming environment for you, respecting your individuality, without ever invalidating or neglect your pains no matter what they are. She always makes a point of highlighting how important and valid two emotions and thoughts are, even if sometimes you may find them silly.
Gwen along with a girlfriend who self-harms â------ Who would care to know the things that can set off triggers in you, so that she doesn't end up accidentally slipping up; The last thing this sweet girl wants is to be the reason for her tears or worse, her bruises. She knows she won't be able to protect you from external events in the world, but she will try to do everything possible to keep you away from stressful situations or situations that she knows can trigger you.
Gwen together with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ God help the person who tells her that her pain is nonsense, she would definitely avoid making a big fuss or getting physical about it, unless the person does it first, but it would definitely give the idiot a piece of your mind.
Gwen together with a self-harming girlfriend â------ Who always makes a point of helping you find other healthy alternatives to resolve things.
Do you like painting, drawing or just doodling? This girl will make sure to always save a portion of her allowance to buy her things, never missing the most colorful and fun pencils of all, she bought white and colored sheets, sketchbooks, markers colors, paints, brushes and basically everything you need. She gave him a gift set with 12 colors of those colorful glitter pens and it was so adorable.
If you like writing a diary to express yourself I'm sure she would buy you a new one whenever the previous one was full.
Hot and relaxing baths??? It's a complete yes for this girl, she will reserve God's favorite bath products for you, she can come out and let you have fun or just sit on the toilet seat and talk to you quietly or just be silent (for you two, it's not something weird, it's just an intimate and affectionate way of showing how much she cares for you). Now if you ask her to take a shower with you, this girl will triple her efforts, washing your hair, rubbing and massaging your back, whispering words of affirmation in your ear and hugging you affectionately.
She is willing to accompany you and participate in any activity that helps you cope, she just wants you to be well, so: running, dancing, tearing something or screaming, all of this is a big yes for this girl, anything that can help you in a healthy way she would automatically accept.
Gwen along with a girlfriend who self-harms â------ If you take medications for this, she would make sure to always remind your doctors to take them; Gwen knows how medications can affect you and also always tries to be as understanding and calm about it as possible.
Gwen together with a girlfriend who gets hurt â------ It would collapse if you ever ended up in the hospital because of it, she would never yell at you for it, but she would definitely hug you strong at the moment when I saw you and I simply cried holding onto you. Seeing you like this just breaks Gwen's heart and she can't even imagine losing you, it scares her so muchđ
Gwen together with a girlfriend who hurts herself â------ Who would definitely accompany you to the psychologist or psychiatrist's office whenever she could, waiting with you at the reception until your time and still patiently waiting until the end of your session, probably buys you an ice cream after each session. Even when she can't accompany you, Gwen makes a point of sending you a message to know if you arrived at the office safely.
Gwen together with a girlfriend who hurts herself â------ Who would just be the sweetest and most understanding girlfriend of all, always willing to help and listen to you. She's so sweet and I just need one Gwen in my lifeđđ.

Your last 666 series installment is the best thing that happened to me. Its full of gore, somehow fluffy and wait-.. do I finally see some FRICKING COMUNICATION between the two idiots!?!?!
Ngl, Vox's 'Alastor not being able to love' statement hurt my soul. Your writing is brilliant and and let's just see what ending ya wro-..O MA LORD IS THAT VAL'S LOVE POTION!?!?!?!?
Now I need to know what's next!!!! And VOX I SWEAR IF U USE THIS SITUATION IN ANY WAY IM GOING TO SKIN YOU ALIVE.
This series is a blast⥠love it!⥠makes me weirdly passionate and excited hah!
Some communication, and some communication failure, hahaha. They're going to be talking a lot more in the next one, actually, because I meant to write some NSFW and they had to go and attempt a healthy conversation instead. What can you do.
Thank you so much, I'm delighted that you're enjoying! :D
And: Way more anon asks about the latest 666 getting answered under the cut! <3 I combined a bunch from the last couple of days.
prince, I'm going insane over the latest fic. so we know from Alastor's inner monologue that he knows the roofie was an accident, but considering the super stressful situation, the fact that Vox was the one to ask for a kiss and the fact that Alastor accused him of wanting instead of loving him not a few minutes agoâŠ. makes me wonder if Vox might not be at least a little worred that Alastor might think it was on purpose <3 gonna be rotating this in my head for the foreseeable future - âš
I am so glad that these things are on y'all's minds, hahaha. Because you can bet they are on mine. >:D And THANK YOU, very pleased to be dragging everyone down into insanity with me.
âShould I stitch together the scars your teeth left in me in a mirror of my own signature on your body.â
Fucking. POETRY.
đââŹ
I am always so happy when I write shit like this and instead of everyone pointing at me and going, "Look, what an EDGELORD!" the response is you people being VERY nice and leaning into the feelsy fun! đ
holy moly ??? i love the new 666 addition aaaah đđ the trials and tribulations of feeling scorned and ghosted by a loser who confessed his love to you and the next time you see him heâs holding your LITERAL heart in his hands by alastor ! OMFG this was too good esp the part where vox is like âbro why do YOU CARE ?? i thought you didnât love me huh?â and alastor is like well. maybe i.do. đ LIKE CMONN this really played out like some soap drama and i loved the neat details on resuscitative thoroctomy (learned a new word too so double bonus) the fact vel was on the line w her and valâs apparent surgeon for valâa little âincidents ??? GOLDEN I SAYY hope we see more of ur oc ⊠đ«Łđ«Ł btw ofc vox would love to an end an argument with a kiss OF FUCKING COURSE HE WOULD đ thank u sm for this chapter princeliest my dear <3 hope life is treating u well too !!
-đŠ
Vox is ahead of Alastor in terms of effective in-the-moment conflict resolution, but goddamn if he isn't fucked up in his own fun little ways. They're so not done with most of these issues, but at least they're on they're way to maybe be able to have a real conversation about them!
You know. If they chose to do that kind thing. Instead of whatever they will probably do instead.
Anyway, THANK YOU!! I had a great deal of fun writing this chapter and digging into some of the issues that have been slowly collecting underneath the surface of kinky radiostatic, so I'm happy you guys are enjoying as well!! :D
AS FOR MY OC... I WILL POST ABOUT THEM SOON. I LOVE THEM A LOT AND IT EXCITES ME THAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MORE OF THEM. Tysm for asking Q^Q
Just read the new addition to the 666 verse, and inside of me are two wolves:
The first is saying: Immaculate, artistry of the highest form. We finally get Alastorâs own confrontation with his vulnerability and him trying to figure out what exactly the relationship with Vox means to him. Cannot wait for how this all is going to develop.
The other part of me: THE BREADCRUMBS WORKED THE MUSE IS WRITING!!!
Followed by this image (since tumblr wonât let me attach it while being anonymous) https://i.redd.it/hx2shk642vs71.jpg
-đïž
LMAO THAT PIC. Amazing, flawless, thank you. The breadcrumbs DEFINITELY worked, please keep feeding. Digging into Alastor's shit is bringing me life and I'm happy to share it, hahaha. We're swinging even harder on the introspection in the next one!
As a sucker for medical gore and aroace angst, I lack the words to express my love and appreciation for your most recent installment of 666, but your writing of radiostatic's dynamic was captivating and proved to be such a lovely read as always! I loved that you touched on Alastor's relationships with the women around him as that has always been such an interesting aspect of his character to me! I never really put much thought into how Vox's apparent avoidance of Alastor in the show could mirror Alastor's disappearance, and now it will Not leave my mind.
My heart hurts for these two dorks, super looking forward to chapter 2!
"Medical gore and aroace angst" should be the title of my memoir. Honestly, this series has ended up a lot more edgy-bloody than I expected it to, since I usually tend to prefer to portray my whump/angst/violence/etc in a much more roundabout way, but it's actually kinda tipped over into, like... part of the point is how banal it is, how beside the point. The upsetting heavy-hitting bits aren't the blood, they're everything else that goes on around it. Anyway, thank you so much! <3 I think your heart will find some relief in chapter two, haha, I hope you enjoy!!
Meanwhile alastor, completely convinced that thereâs no situation where vox actually loves him and is happy with the way things areâeither vox wants more and is going to start asking for more, or he doesnât actually love him and just wants to have sex with him and thus either way he is a Liar. Theyâre so fucking bad at this. No one is capable of being the adult here. I think they need an auspitice.
It's really funny that you said that, because that is kind of exactly the role that [spoiler] ends up playing, though in a more roundabout way, hahaha. They certainly need someone to, like, get them to be having the same conversation with each other instead of two parallel ones. I think the fun thing about writing Alastor reacting to his own feelings is just how much his reaction can change based on how things are framed for him, and it leaves a lot of wiggle room for how differently I've ended up writing him reacting to the season 1 finale in 666 vs in Happily Ever After, and Other Shit Nepotism Can't Buy.
But, god, you really nailed the description of what Alastor is feeling. <3
Vox in the latest 666, my ENTIRE HEART. Literally nothing about how he read the situation was a bad take or a leap to conclusions, but alastor constantly says the opposite of what he means and refuses to admit vulnerability or friendship and what the hell else was vox meant to do with that, of course he backed off, they need to have this talk so badly
YES, PRECISELY! Like, I hope it came through that really neither of them was completely crazy to react the way they did! It's a result of how much of their communication has been nonverbal, implied, and talking around things - they'd been doing so well up until this point, but there's only so far that can take you before you start thinking that you're on the same page when really you're reading two completely different books! Thank you sm! <3
âBut I am capable,â Alastor says gently. âI love you very much.â
Vox gapes up at him. â...I. Fuck you.â His voice is tight, strained. âI donât fucking believe you.â
Alastor feels his smile thin. âWell. Thatâs just dandy, then, isnât it?ââ
I AM NOT OK GOING FUCKING FERAL
Probably one of my favorite lines to write, ehehehe. THANK YOU ANONNNN <3 It's kinda interesting to see how differently some people read this. Some folks thought Alastor was saying it to hurt Vox (which is how Vox read it). Some folks thought it was true (how Alastor intended it). Some folks thought Alastor was trying to fit into the mold that he thought Vox wanted from him (how I intended it). All of them make sense as readings! >:)

Dancing Queen
Pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley x fem!reader
warnings: alcohol drinking; foreplay? slight fingering; nothing too smutty but MINORS DNI; seriously, if you're a minor pls do not read.
wc: 2.2k
a/n: i'll edit tomorrow, but sorry for any typos!
---
You were pretty revered on task force 141. You were the youngest on the team of burly men but you were one of the most skilled members on the force. And, you took yourself very seriously, almost too seriously some would say.
But who could blame you? You were a woman in a male dominated field. You had to be serious, had to be cold. Especially in the armed forces. This line of work was just as bad if not worse than the financial sector, you know, with all the finance bros. Actually, it was worse, but just by a hair.
So, due to your highly stressful and sometimes misogynistic job, you liked to let loose, have fun on the weekends. It was really the only time where you could fully relax and let yourself go. Alcohol helped of course. You loved going to clubs, bars, restaurants, hell anywhere really. As long as it helped you forget the week you had, helped you soothe the aches and pains that came with the job.
Surprisingly you found that your internal team, therefore task 141, werenât such pricks after all. You thought they would be all misogynistic pigs, and treat you worse than their male colleagues. No, you were proven wrong. Something that doesnât happen often. You were smart after all.
Sooner than later, you found yourself growing fonder of your team, and you considered them your closest friends. You know, big shock. You werenât expecting your closest friends to be your work buddies as well.
You also sprouted a crush for one of your team members. Who could blame you? He was tall, dark, handsome, and mysterious. Always sporting that black balaclava, only leaving his eyes privy to your vision. You have only seen him without his signature mask a few times, most of them being when he was drunk, and out with the team. Â
But who doesnât like intrigue?
Fast forward to this Friday. You found that Friday is your favorite day to go out. You realized that you still have all of Saturday to relax, sleep, and recover and then itâs Sunday. The dreadful day in which work starts the next.
So here you were, getting ready to do out tonight with 141. You typically styled your hair your favorite way, did a full glam of make-up, and pre-gamed to make sure you would be a solid drunk by the time you had at least one drink at the bar. This was your time to shine, to have fun for once. You werenât going to pass it up. Hence, your lovely make-up and outfits that made any jaw drop to the floor.
By the time you were finished getting ready, you felt a slight buzz in your system, and you felt good, felt pretty. You were ready for a night out. Specifically, you were ready for a night out with Ghost.
You found it much, much easier to talk to the intimidating guy when you were slightly buzzed, or better yet, drunk. Was it healthy? Probably not. But whoâs perfect, right?
Even though you were a force to be reckon with yourself, the man still intimated you. Maybe it was because of the feelings that started developing in the pits of your stomach. You couldnât help it when your heart clenched every time you saw him, or every time his blue eyes met your own.
It was getting bad, and you were worried it was going to start to effect your performance at work, which was unacceptable.
So, what do you do to deal with all these feelings? You drink of course!
Hey, youâre still in your twenties, itâs a pass.
You get a text from Soap in the GM that your guysâ uber is at your place. It was decided that you would ride with Soap, Ghost, and Gaz.
You saw the uber in front of your building, so you made your way to the back seat. You figured that Ghost would be in the front, so you open the door and tease, âGaz, you need to take the middle seat because youâre the shortest out of all of us.â
However, you werenât met with Gazâs chocolate eyes when you swung open the door. No, you were met with Ghostâs large frame, and confused expression as you mistakenly talk to him instead of Gaz.
âYou want me to sit in the middle?â Ghost points a finger at himself.
You hear Gaz snicker from the front seat. Iâll get him later.
You disguise your embarrassment with a cough, âOh! No, no, no. I mean, we canât have the tallest teammate sit in the middle now can we?â You flash Ghost what youâre hoping is your best smile. Dammit why did I drink so much getting ready?
Ghost just grunts in confirmation and gets out of the vehicle.
You clamber your way in only to find Soap with a  shit-eating grin, sitting in the back as well.
âHello, Soap.â Your tone is clipped, which makes his grin widen even more.
Ghost gets in finally, but once heâs finally settled, you find yourself literally squished between Soap and Ghost.
âCan either of you move over or something? Iâm being squeezed to death.â
âOh, donât act like you donât like it, y/n.â
You really, hope Ghost didnât just hear what Soap said, but itâs unlikely. You hit him in the shoulder, âFirst rounds on you, asshole.â
Soap raises his hands in a truce. âAlright, alright. Donât get mad at me.â
You were only annoyed because Soap was right. You did like being squished up against Ghost. How embarrassing. Stupid feelings. Who even has time for feelings anymore?
You all finally make it to the club, and you make a beeline for the bar. As promised, Soap orders you, as well as Ghost and Gaz a round of drinks. You all cheerâs, then you down your shot. At this point, youâre definitely drunk.
The guys get another drink as you observe the dance floor. They take two more shots, and you take one more.
After your last shot, you let them know that youâre going to go dance. They all toast you, and then youâre off to the dance floor.
You start moving to the beat, letting the music take over your body, letting it carry you away from all your problems.
Itâs only a few minutes in when you notice that theyâre playing your favorite song. You rush back over to the guys, and excitedly shout, âTheyâre playing my favorite song! Do any of you want to dance with me?â
Before anyone could really respond, Soap is clapping Ghost on the shoulder, and pushing him towards you, âGhost would love to.â
If you werenât so drunk, you would have noticed Ghost send a glare to his friend. But not out of despite, more out of nervousness.
You clap your hands, so excited that someone is joining you, much different than your usually demeanor at work. Then you grasp Ghostâs hand in yours and lead him to the floor, leaving a grinning Soap and Gaz.
Gaz just sighs before saying, âWhy do you always have to butt in?â
Soap just shrugs with a knowing smile on his face, âBecause, theyâd be good for each other, and both of them need a little nudge from someone to get the ball rolling.â
Once you and Ghost make it to the dance floor, you turn around to face him. You have the biggest smile heâs ever seen on your pretty face, and he canât help but smile back.
You start moving to the music as before, but this time, Ghost wraps his hands around your waist and pulls you in close to him. So close, that your chests are touching. Heâs definitely buzzed, borderline drunk.
He leans his head down so his lips are brushing against your ear, âI didnât know you were quite the dancer.â
His breath tickles, and you let out a laugh, tightening your arms that have found their way around his neck.
âDonât you know? Iâm the dancing queen.â You let out a laugh, and pull him closer.
He laughs as well and you both continue swaying to the beat, that is, until a more up-tempo song starts to play. Before you know it, Ghost has spun you around, so now your back is facing his front.
His large hands make their way to your waist, gripping tightly. But not too tightly in which it hurts. Itâs more so a comforting hold. You feel secure, like you would never trip and fall in his embrace.
You lean your head back so itâs resting on Ghostâs chest, and you feel him dip his head to meet yours. The height difference is making you dizzy, making you want more of him.
You feel him kiss down your neck, his lips searing your skin as they map you out. He makes his way back up and nips at your earlobe, which has you letting out a small yelp. But you lean further into him, signaling him to continue on.
Your hands come up to rest on top of his, and you squeeze them. Youâve never felt this exhilarated, and Ghostâs touches leave sparks in their wake, igniting you.
As he continues to kiss down your neck, you take one of your hands thatâs grasping his, and start to lead it to the top of your skirt. He seems to get the idea, and continues his hand down until itâs grazing your upper thigh, lifting your skirt ever the slightest.
He subtly brings his fingers under your skirt to graze your underwear. The dance floor is so packed, that no one will notice.
The feeling of his fingers pressing on your bud has your head spinning and you let out a soft whine. Itâs just faint enough that only Ghost can hear it. His hand goes further and pushes your underwear to the side. He teases your entrance without entering a finger into you and he brings his thumb up to press down on your clit. Which makes you let out another low pitch whine.
Your hand trails down to find his, as if to ground yourself. From what, you donât even know. You just need to feel him more. More so than you already are.
All too soon, he removes his hand from your and brings it back up to cup your waist, then he spins you around so youâre facing him. What a fucking tease.
You crane your neck to glance up at him and you donât know who moved in first. But what you do know is that youâre kissing Ghost. His lips lock with yours and it feels like it was always meant to be.
You trail your hands up so they play with the hairs at the nape of his neck. Twirling the hair around the tips of your fingertips. The kiss you share feels infinite, like it was mapping out the very constellations around you.
You never wanted it to end.
All too soon he pulls away, and brings his hands up to cup your face. His forehead is pressed up against yours, and he holds you so gently.
âI just had to do that, at least once.â He sounds breathless, and you fight the urge to pull him down to you again, at his confession.
âWhy just once?â Youâre just as breathless, if not more as you ask him this.
You donât want this to end here, you canât let it end here. You like him too much, too much that your heart hurts at the thought of letting him go.
Ghost peels himself from you, but his hands are still ever so gently cupping your sweet face. His thumbs rub under your eyes, on the apple of your cheeks, as he looks fondly down at you. Heâs looking at you as if you created all the planets in the solar system, and hung up the stars as well.
âBecause I know you deserve better.â
His admission tugs at your heartstrings, âBullshit. You donât get to tell me whatâs good for me and what isnât.â
It was true. You had to decide for yourself.
âIs that so?â A smirk forms on his lips.
Youâre glad the air has turned back into something light, something teasing. Thatâs something you could deal with. Not the heavy shit that was threatening you before.
You bring your hands once again to his and grasp them, âYes, it is, so you better get used to it.â
Ghost just lets out a laugh and then swiftly pulls you into a bone crushing hug. He rests his head on top of yours. You swear you feel a faint pressure atop your head, almost like a kiss laid upon your hair.
His words get muffled into your hair, but you make them out just the same. âWhy donât we finish what we started, but in a more private place, hm?â
You tighten your hold on him, words stifled into his chest as your answer, âSounds like a plan to me.â

some argument angst to comfort with childe maybe? i ADORE the way u write childe
RIGHT HANDS MISTAKE
â childe x gn!reader
â angst to fluff
â childe
you closed the front door to your home and sighed. you'd been so stressed lately with your work that you decided to leave early today and deal with it all later; being the tsaritsas right hand had a lot of responsibilities and pressure on it. you were most sure you'd have even more things piled up for you tomorrow, but you didn't care.
slowly making your way through the house, putting down your belongings during, you found it was uneasily quiet. usually ajax would be sitting in the living room or would be somewhere in the kitchen cooking for the fun of it, and if he was out, there'd be a note somewhere but there was nothing to see.
"ajax?" you called through the house. you got no answer back so you were about to venture yourself up the stairs until you heard footsteps making their way closer to you. "y/n? you're home this early?" he walked down to you.
"yes, i decided to come back early because works been too much lately with the new fatui trainees and the traveller constantly on the move." you sighed rolling your shoulders back as you flopped onto the couch with him following.
"are you sure its about work? or is it just because you love me and wanted to see me?' ajax slightly tilted his head with a glint in his eyes. you let out a laugh, "you wish." rolling your eyes.
"oh c'mon, you know you love me so." he shrugged, leaning back on the couch confidently. "uh-huh, sure..." you trailed off with a teasing smile making him shoot his head back your way with an offended look.
his look went away as he studied your features over and frowned. "you look stressed. are you okay?" ajax grabbed your jaw to pull you closer and have a better look. you tatted his hands away from you and sighed. "i'm only a bit stressed, my job keeps piling up with so many things andâ⊠yeah."
he bit the inside of his cheek. "y/n, you know it's not healthy to do this type of thing. if you need a break tell her majesty, you're her right hand for archons sake, she'll let you and pause your work so it stops piling."
"ajax, you know its not that easy. right now its a difficult time. yeah, maybe she'd say yes if it were a usual day but no. with the harbingers out in other nations, there is nobody to handle their jobs here except for me." you crossed your arms.
"wait, what? you're handling the harbingers jobs as well as yours?" he almost let out a glare for your rash decision. "y/n, let me help you. i'll be able to handle the harbingers jobs well. i have nothing else to do anyways."
"no. ajax just don't, you can't help me. you're not allowed to do other harbingers jobs especially when they're many ranks above you." you chewed on your lip, standing up from the couch hoping to get away from the near soon heated atmosphere.
"okay.. well, what about your jobâ"
"you know you're not allowed to do my work out of all jobs, ajax. i've told you too many times to count. my job has confidential information that nobody but me and her majesty can know."
"i know that. i'm just asking to help with the work, not know it. there's a difference." his voice was stern as he got up from the couch too. "ajax, no. i appreciate the offer but helping me is the same as knowing the information. end of discussion." you opened up cabinet in the kitchen to grab a glass.
"what's so bad about me knowing the information? yeah, yeah, its secret info but i'm your boyfriend. you know i'm not going to tell anyone." he chuckled weakly. "who's there to tell anyways? i don't have anyone but you truly."
you ignored him and shrugged, putting water into your cup and downing it in a second. "i said end of discussion ajax." you slammed the glass onto the bench, though not hard enough to smash it. he gave you a look up and down until the realisation hit him smack in the face.
"you don't trust me, do you." it came out more of a statement than a question. you froze your steps to upstairs and stood still, refusing to look back at him. of course i trust you, you wanted to tell him, but why wouldn't the words form out of your mouth?
he swallowed, biting his cheek almost hard enough to draw blood. "why? why don't you trust me?" his breathing got shaky. "is it because i'm a lower rank than all the other harbingers? because i seem to dumb for my job? too young? what is it?" he kept pestering you with questions and all the words seemed to be filling your head to the brim.
your grip on the side of the staircase got stronger, you didn't know whether it was going to be your hand or the wood that was going to break first. he kept speaking, you could tell his stressing out was travelling to your stress, making it rise higher and higher.
"ajax, just shut up! for fucks sake." his mouth clammed shut and he froze. "i don't know why i don't trust you. maybe its because you don't tell your family shit and run around behind their backs pretending to be some silly toy maker. or maybe its because you never tell me anything until i find out for myself." your jaw clenched when you turned back to him and saw glassy eyes refusing to look back. "look iâ" your voice broke down. "i don't need help."
and to there, you made your way up the stairs and into the bathroom. closing the door with a slam and leaving the man all alone.
a shower is what would always calm you down, but as you were scrubbing yourself so hard that you felt like your skin might come off, you couldn't stop thinking about your boyfriend and your poor word choices.
how could you say that to him? you knew the reason he didn't tell his family was a hard topic and that he had trust issues himself, that's why he was afraid to tell you anything. though, even through the trust issues he had, he still trusted you enough. it was truly just fear of you rejecting who he really is.
you stepped out of the shower and dried yourself off. staring into the mirror, concentrating on the mirror, and not looking anywhere else. in the silence of the towel friction, you could hear quiet sobs from across the hall. you had almost dropped your towel when you realised. was he crying?
he never cries. yeah, he had glassy eyes near the end of your argument but he always finds a way to stay strong and suck those feelings up. shit. how big did you mess up with him this time?
you got changed into your clothes that you'd set out for yourself and groomed your hair down neatly. your hand grabbed onto the handle softly and you pulled open the door, making your way quietly down the hall to the shared bedroom.
you opened up yourself to the room, the light of the outside spreading onto the bed through the gap you made. "ajax?" you questioned the silence. the blankets rustled and not even a second later, someone's head popped out.
ajax's eyes widened and he tumbled himself out of the bed and rushed towards you, engulfing his arms around your torso. "i'm sorry. i'm really, really sorry. i shouldn't ofâ" his voice cracked as his grip on you tightened, "i shouldn't of pried into your business, andâ andâ"
you shushed him, slowly moving both of you towards the bed. you laid down and placed his body on top of yours so his head rested on your chest. "it's okay, baby. it's not your fault." you whispered quietly, feeling your shirt dampen from your lovers tears.
"it's all mine. i went too far and should've just explained nicely to you instead of my words becoming harsh. i know you struggle with telling your family and i know you struggle with opening up sometimes." you smiled softly as he looked up to you. "but i'm here, okay? i'm here to help you open up, i'm here to take care of you, i'm here to love you."
he sniffed and shuffled his face closer into your chest. "and i do trust you. i don't know why i couldn't tell you that earlier, but i do. you're the person i trust most in this world." you played with the ends of his hair. "though ajax," you grabbed his attention, he moved to look back up to you. "you do need to understand that i can't tell you anything confidential, or her majesty will have my head." you let out a light laugh.
he smiled small. "i, i know. i was just selfish because i wanted to use my excuse of 'helping you' even though i just wanted to spend time with you. it's lonely having barely anything to do because all the jobs are given to the higher ranks." he sighed. "it's silly but i do love working. well, working in a sense of having something to fight instead of lazing at home."
you tapped his forehead. "hm, well how about this. i'll talk to the tsaritsa about taking a well needed break so we can spend some time together and," you twirled his hair around your finger. "and then when i get back i'll ask her to give you some jobs to do. yeah?"
ajax hummed, going back to nestle into your chest. you moved yourself down to kiss him on the head. "i love you," he whisper-mumbled into your shirt. your face broke out into a soft smile,
"i love you too."
â i gotta stop doing these while i'm meant to be practicing for examsâ

Jealous - Brian 'Otis' Zvonecek
Request: I thought about Brianâs ex coming to town maybe Katie and reader gets jealous seeing how he reacted to her when she stopped by the firehouse. Fluffy ending of him putting her mind at ease that sheâs his future and he loves her. Tysm for doing thisâ€ïžâ€ïžÂ
A/N: I found this in my drafts and realized I never finished it.
One Chicago Masterlist
âłïž âłïž âłïž âłïž
âLook, I get it,â you stressed, trying to make your voice sound a nonchalant as you werenât feeling, âKellyâs dad died and thatâs awful and of course Katie is gonna come to the funeral...I just donât know why she had to come here. To 51. To see Otis.â Â
From the look on Stellaâs face you knew that your nonchalance wasnât anywhere near believable. And how could it be? You remembered Katie from last time, something that you knew Sylvie knew just from the sympathetic look on her face when Katie came walking onto the app floor that morning. You and Otis were just friends back then but youâd had a crush on him, one that you were fairly certain he had picked up on until heâd announced to you and Cruz that he was dating Severideâs sister. Â
âShe told him sheâs got a boyfriend back in...wherever. Iâm sure this is just a nostalgic trip down memory lane.â Stella tried, really she tried, but the words werenât going through. Sylvie had tried this morning when ambo got called out on a run before youâd even sat down for briefing. And Cruz had tried when you came back and found Otis in the common room laughing at whatever hilarious thing you were sure that Katie had said to him. Â
Probably something along the lines of âbreakup with your partner and date me instead. Remember how much fun we had together? And you didnât have to explain the inner-workings of Catan to me.âÂ
âIt better be.â You grumbled, slamming your locker door a little louder than you meant to. There hadnât been a call since the one that pulled you away from Otis and Katieâs initial reunion and in all honesty you were hoping there would be a call soon just to get you out of 51 and focused on work. Couldnât some uncoordinated Chicagoan have a slip and fall or something? Anything to get you away from them and all the thoughts swirling in your head. You didnât want to seem like you were lurking or eavesdropping on their conversation and you wanted to seem like the cool partner, the person who could let their boyfriend and his ex hang out without feeling any jealousy. But it was the exact opposite and if Stella knew, everyone else probably did too. Â
You left the locker room still somewhat aggravated, talking to Stella had helped you vent but it hadnât given you any peace of mind. You still didnât want Katie there and you were still annoyed that Otis had been so happy to see her. It wasnât really his fault and you knew that. If there was anyone in the world that was guaranteed to have positive, healthy relationships with their exes, it was definitely Otis. What wasnât to love about him? But knowing that just made the feeling in the pit of your stomach ten times worse. Why did he have to be so nice? Couldnât he just be an asshole? Or maybe just an asshole to Katie? No...you didnât want that either. Â
âHey, there you are!â Otisâ voice startled you as you turned to see him standing there in the in the hallway outside of the lockeroom. No Katie in sight, thankfully. Youâd heard him mention something about a tour of the firehouse (as if anything had changed since the last time she was here) before youâd snuck off to the lockers. Â
âWhereâs Katie?â You asked, glancing over his shoulder as if she would materialize. Â
âJust in,â he pointed back to the common area, âwanted to make sure you were alright.âÂ
âIâm fine.â Â
Otis looked immediately skeptical and you crossed your arms defensively, trying to play off you tension as calm, still hoping that the alarm would go off. Even if it was a fire, youâd rather everyone go than have to be stuck here one more moment with Katie and Otis. You definitely didnât want to go back into the common room and have to sit there at the table and listen to the two of them share stories and reminise about the past. Â
âAre you sure?âÂ
âYeah,â you nodded. It wasnât even like you were being rational in your annoyance. Otis had introduced you as his partner immediately. The practical second after he said hello to Katie he was dragging her over to you and introducing you as if you were the best piece of his life in Chicago that he could share with someone. But still, you hadnât been able to quell the voice in your head. âFine.âÂ
Otisâ skeptical look turned contemplative, as if he was working something out. âWait a minute...are you jealous?â He looked like he almost didnât believe the words when he said them. As if it was such a crazy notion that saying it out loud made him feel like he was being ridiculous. Â
You huffed, shoulders slumping. Otisâ mustache twitched as he smiled, correct in his analysis. âI really like Katie,â you defended, lowering your voice so no one would overhear. âShe seems super nice and I can totally get why you went out with her.âÂ
âCan you totally get why Iâm not interested in her now?â He asked, âCause I love you and thatâs not gonna change just cause my ex is in town?âÂ
âYeah, yeah...I know.â You replied, defeat evident in your voice. âI donât know I just saw her and you were so excited to catch up. Itâs totally irrational, I know that! I just...ugh god. I canât explain it.â You huffed. âStop smiling me like that.âÂ
Otisâ smile didnât diminish. He couldnât deny that you getting jealous felt like a bit of an ego boost. That someone could love him so much that they were bothered by the idea of him hanging out with an ex. âSorry, sorry, just kinda cute how annoyed you are.âÂ
âOh yeah, how cute would it be if I had an ex come to town and spent the whole afternoon with them?â You asked, hands on your hips.Â
Narrowed eyes, Otisâ smile turned to a slight grin. He knew what you were getting at and frankly, he knew you were right. Maybe it was silly that you were bothered by Katie but he knew if any ex of yours showed up at the firehouse he would be acting a lot worse. Less hiding in the locker room and more showboating. âLets just not have exes, problem solved.âÂ
âWell I doubt Iâll have any more.â You replied, the alarm finally blaring in the background. Â

â.àłàż*: âLess Work, More Playâ ~ Ways to connect to your inner child â.àłàż*:
Hello again, my dear Saplings! đ± I am back once again with another new PAC today that I hope you enjoy, take a deep breath, and choose whatever images resonate with your soul and heart, Happy reading! ËÊâĄÉË
 Being connected to our child-like energy does not mean to behave like a tantruming two-year old or to act naively in situations where you know it is necessary to have a sensible and mature head on your shoulders, no to connect with the child within us in a healthy way we should embrace wonder, never fear trying out new things and remember its okay to be silly and fun now and again, donât be afraid to laugh at yourself and never mind the unneeded judgements of others. If they refuse to look after the child within in and feel uncomfortable to see yours thriving that's a them problem!
I would love to hear if the message you received resonated with you, so donât feel afraid to comment, for it makes me so happy to connect with you all! đ Â
Song: Lost Boy - Ruth B.
Faery-Tale: Puss in Boots ~Â âPerhaps the greatest gift that can be left to you is something you already have withinâ
[ My Instagram ⥠/ Personal Readings †/  Faery Masterlist â  ] Â
Pile 1
[Cards: Ace of Cups, Eight of Swords, The Chariot & King of Swords]
Ways you can reconnect with your inner child include slowing down in life, instead of rushing from one goalpost to another try to appreciate the journey. Collect memories physically & mentally - make an album of photographs from both adventures and ordinary life and fill it with pictures of those dear to you too. Listen & dance to music from your youth or even scrapbook/Journal about your days if you're feeling creative. Don't become another victim of the belief that once you've reached a certain age all fun must die only to be replaced with responsibilities and strict rules! Keep dreaming, keep playing, and keep growing!
Oracle: Benedicta
Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zones, No one ever grew in stagnation - Just like a plant in a pot too small for its roots your run the danger of wilting. Be daring, be bold, and most importantly true to your soul!
Pile 2
[Cards: Four of Pentacles, Knight of Cups, Three of Pentacles & Four of Swords]
To connect more with your inner child within you I suggest some much-needed TLC & self-care. treat yourself, you deserve it! Think to yourself if your child's self suddenly appeared in your life and you were entrusted to care for them. How would you treat them? Perhaps you would give them all the nice things they were refused in life. Now is your chance to do just that. Another message I'm hearing is to not burden yourself with all the decisions if you run a business or are in a partnership/Marriage Lean on those around you (spouse/Work Colleagues) to carry some of the load it isn't your responsibility to carry it all - You don't need to feel alone.
Oracle: Rubi
Make time for your friends and family don't feel afraid that you might be missing out on work, or some other important chore on your to-do list, it won't end your world to slow down and appreciate all you've got. Wouldn't you rather make fun and exciting memories with those dearest to your heart rather than worry and stress yourself out over work? The decision is ultimately in your hands.
Pile 3
[Cards: Five of Wands, The Star, Ten of Pentacles & Nine of Swords]
The way you connect to your inner child within you may include singing along to your favourite tunes, but I'm also hearing a message to avoid conflict - don't go into situations heated and looking for arguments & if it is others not accepting you don't want to engage cut them off and take some time away from them for your own sanity. I would also advise against scrolling through social media or constantly watching content full of bad news or toxic drama. Please don't compare your life to perfect pictures online this is making you lose faith in yourself and your dreams. You're quite wonderful as you are and your inner child says they wouldn't change a thing! after all, no one but Mary Poppins can be perfect!
Oracle: Sir Norval & Elliot
Perhaps you are over due for an adventure somewhere quiet & far away from the noise and distraction of modern life. Somewhere that you can reconnect with nature and the joys of the simple every day. Put down your devices and go out there the next chance you get to fulfill the curiosity of your soul!
I hope the message you received from the child within was joyful and uplifting to you! Make sure to embrace each day with wonder and joy as that is how you can help begin the first steps to inner-child connection! For magic truly is everywhere is just depends on how you choose to view things.
-Love, Faeđźđ§đ»ââ

âMommy mommy mommyâ
âMinjung wait!â
You hear two voices scream from the hallway before you see their faces. Bursting through the doors are your two boys who look like they had a fun day doing outdoor activities.
âHey baby, why are you running?â you ask him, turning around to face the little guy only to be surprised when you see your sonâs smile. One tooth missing from itâs place.Â
Just then Mark arrives in the room, looking wide eyed between you and Minjung, âI can explainâ
âHuh? What happened?â
âDaddy and I were playing badminton then he hit me on the face then my tooth fell off!â you would be more horrified upon hearing your babyâs words but he was smiling so big like itâs the most exciting thing that happened to him next to receiving the bike he asked from Santa last year.Â
âMark honey?â you turn to your husband, waiting for him to further explain just what happened really
âI didnât hit him, that sounded bad. The ball the hit him, it was an accidentâ poor Mark, he must be feeling so guilty right now but looking at his son has helped him feel more at ease and at the same time he canât help but feel proud at how Minjung handled it.Â
He thought heâd start crying then heâd have to explain the whole thing to you, if heâs being honest heâs not so sure which is scarier: hitting his son in the face with the shuttlecock accidentally or telling his wife he hit his son in the face with a shuttlecock accidentally.
âDoes it hurt?â you ask Minjung, crouching down to meet him eye to eye. Silently checking for any other injuries just in case.Â
âNo, but look hereâs my tooth! will the tooth fairy visit me tonight?â Minjung asks,Â
âOfcourse bud, but only if you eat your vegetables and drink your milk tonight because that helps to keep your teeth healthy. The tooth fairy would like thatâ Mark says, walking over to the two of you before sitting down on the floor beside you
âAnd you have to brush your teethâ you add
âOkay! I can do thatâ Minjung smile at the two of you, hearing a chuckle from Mark before he reaches over to ruffle Minjungâs hair and pull him in for a bear hug
âDaaaaad I need to go wash my hands first, Iâll put my tooth away firstâ Minjung says, pulling away from his father before running out your room to his own bedroom down the hall
âNo runningâ the two of you scream after him. Letting out a laugh before you look over at your husband
âLong day?â you ask him, leaning over to kiss him on the cheek
âI think I just aged 5 years from thatâ letting out a laugh upon hearing his words, Mark chuckles too before he turns to face you. Moving until you were sitting between his legs and circling his arms around you.Â
âHey donât blame yourself, heâs goodâ
âI know, I didnât want to freak out too because then heâd freak out then weâll all freak outâ laughing at his words, you can see he really was stressed about the situation that happened before getting home.Â
âMinjungâs okay, donât think too much about it. If anything, itâs another cool story to tell his unclesâ
Mark canât help but smile at that then you. You really know just how to make him instantly feel better. His mind would be running thousand miles ahead but one word from you heâd be halting.Â
âWhen did our baby grow up to be that brave big boyâ he asks
âHeâs like that because thatâs what you taught himâ you tell him, booping him on the nose before giving him a quick kiss
âMe? Baby I think itâs all on you, you taught him everything, you care for him every day. From day 1 itâs all you, my loveâ
âI was only able to do that because you were with me. Weâre a team here, remember when he was just born and he wonât stop crying so we ended up driving all night? We were both freaking out so bad turns out he just had a bad case of gasâ you recall the memory, âthat he takes after youâ you tease Mark, earning a tickle on your side
âWonât even deny it. But all the good things, he got that from youâ
âNo way, he has your cute lil face. Heâs literally a mini version of you. Been telling you that since day one. I have two Markâs nowâÂ
Scooting closer towards your husband to give him a hug, âYou really never know what to do with this parenting thing. Weâre still winging it until now, and Minjungâs six now. But I say weâre doing pretty good, and I can say that with confidence because I have you as my partnerâ you tell him,Â
âGod Iâm so luckyâ Mark mumbles before leaning forward to capture your lips with his. He can feel you smile and let out a giggle, even after all this years you still do that when he kisses you. How can he not fall even more in love with you every day?
âMom, dad! Whatâs for dinner? Can I have Nutella with bread for desert?â Minjung scream from the other room broke the two of you apart, sharing a look with your husband before letting out a laugh.Â
âHe really is a mini you, do you believe me now?â

3.72 The ambassador
On our way to the Arboretum, I highlighted a few noteworthy features of the neighborhood, including a shameless plug for my yoga classes at the Celebration Center. Clear skies and warm sun made it the perfect day for this tour. Though, there was never a wrong time to visit San Sequoia. Every day was perfect.
"This is Gilbert Gardens," I said, vaguely gesturing around us. "It's my favorite place in San Sequoia because it has so much to do for all ages."
"I can't get over this weather. Is it always this nice?"
"Amazing, right? That's one of the best parts about San Sequoia."
The warm rays beamed down on us while a cool breeze whisked back and forth, ensuring we remained comfortable. Dub glanced around, shaking his head in disbelief at the gorgeous weather.
"Henford is usually covered in snow right about now," he said with a hint of snark.
I chuckled at a memory that popped into my head.
"I've seen snow exactly twice in my life. It doesn't snow much in Willow Creek. That's where I've spent the most time."
"I think snow is overrated," Dub huffed, waving dismissively again.
"You might be right. I mean, it's super cold...you can't see if it's too thick...and you have to clean it up!"
He slapped my arm.
"See? I knew we were in sync."
"Playing in it looks fun, though."
"That's overrated too! I don't like my hands being cold. There's no fun in that!"
He was hilarious and I know he wasn't trying to be, but the fake outrage amused me.
"I might have to agree with you there," I said.
We got halfway around the lake before I realized I hadn't shown him much. I made a terrible tour guide, but I think we both enjoyed the company more; I know I did.
"I teach at that spa over there sometimes," I said.
"What do you teach?"
"Yoga. I also lead guided meditations."
"So, yoga videos and classes? You must really love it."
"I do."
His eyes squinted a bit, like he was processing my words or something. I hadn't said anything too deep. Was he one of those yogi haters?
"A good friend of mine just told me she's into it too," he said. "She says it's for therapeutic reasons."
"Good for her. I think everyone should be into yoga."
"Why do you say that?"
"It's great therapy. I think everyone should learn healthier ways to deal with stress. Sims turn to so many self-destructive ways of dealing with their problems, only to make it worse. Having a healthy body leads to a healthy mind."
"I'm sure Maia would agree. She made me promise to try it with her."
"I hope you do."
I hadn't heard of many men who had platonic relationships with women. Even I had some sort of physical attraction and a bit of lust for my female friends. What was his relationship with this friend?
"So...Maia, huh?"
"Yeah, she's my friend I mentioned."
"I see... Well, I'm glad you'll try it. I think you'll find it helps a lot.
He didn't catch it that time, but I wouldn't let him miss it the next time, and there would be a next time. I was sure of it.
"Over there, you have the splash park. Mostly kids hang out there. We can swim in this lake."
"It's huge!"
"Tell me about it. My dad and I jogged around it once. I think I nearly killed him. There's all kinds of trails around here, but this is my favorite."
As we approached the trailhead, Dub looked around in awe, exactly like I did the first time I visited. The garden was what made it exceptionally beautiful. The way they expertly arranged the flowers and creatively teased the topiaries, it truly was a work of art.
"Woooow. I never would have seen all this back here."
"They call it the Arboretum. You ready to go?"
"Always."
We stretched, and I recommended we take it easy and pace ourselves, but Mr. Funny Man had other ideas. Good thing I was also athletic. I accepted the challenge, but of course, I had to flex on him a few times.
I asked about his family. The fact that he was the oldest of three boys amazed me. With no brotherly figure or close friends in my life, I found it difficult to imagine the dynamics of such a relationship. Would I enjoy little brothers? Would they annoy me? Maybe both because little sisters could be fun and annoying. Dub and his brothers grew up on a farm, and he hated it. Memories of the sights and smells of cleaning out chicken coops and milking cows disgusted him all over again. I would never laugh at anyone's pain, but he was so easily grossed out. I almost wanted to try it to see if it was really that bad.
Naturally, he returned the same questions, and I told him about our family dynamics and how my sister and I bounced between Willow Creek and Evergreen Harbor our entire childhood. I kept it casual and didn't say anything emotional, but he remained silent. Maybe he was contemplating my situation just like I was considering farm life with a bunch of brothers.
We took a few breaks, and he guzzled his water as if he were on fire. I shook my head, secretly laughing at him for dashing off like it was a race. Eventually we arrived back at our starting point, winded but feeling like a million simoleons.
"That was a good run," he said. "Maybe the longest I've done so far."
"Yeah, before I ran around the lake it was my longest too."
"And it was very scenic, like you said."
"You should see it in the summer! It's amazing."
I could tell by how golden the sky was, and the emptiness in my stomach, dinnertime was near. I had another idea I hoped he'd be keen on.
"I'm usually having dinner about now. If you have more time, you wanna go to the best restaurant in San Sequoia?"
"Yeah! Uhh, actually, let me check with Maia first."
See? I knew he'd bring her up again. This dude was in love and didn't even know it, and it was so fun to watch. Even the way he said her name had hearts all over it.
"Of course. I wouldn't want to get you in trouble or anything," I said in a cheeky way.
"Whatever, man!"
He may have sounded offended, but I did not forget that grin. One way or another, I'd get their story out of him. Ugh...I was unquestionably my mother's child.
