hihi!! i love your art sm !!
im curious on how you draw your chibis? they are so squishy and theyre like mochis and blueberry muffins (in the best way o m gee) !!
like hows the anatomy/posing work for you? tips would be super super helpful wow
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi! First of all, thank you! This is a hard one cuz I dont usually draw chibis ehe, but I will try to aid you with the few knowlegment I got. As you can see, I have a lot of styles when it comes to draw cheebs but I think i can resume it in one word: SIMPLIFY
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For example, here's a drawing of Gaming I did. Let's dig into it!!
First I tried to replicate the same pose Gaming has in his official art, notice that this not have to follow exactly the same guidelines. "Why?" Well because when drawing a chibi, theres some limitations since the body shrunkens, there is a variety on how cheeb anatomy works but I'll get to that point later-
Forget about detailing too much, like putting in the cheeb every wrinkle of the clothes, every strand of hair or every little costure. With this I am not saying that you have to get rid of ,for example, Furina's decorations in her hat, instead you can simplify them!! If you consider that detail important enough just draw it! (See the image for a example on how I do it)
Negative Space oh man my art teacher used to talk about this a lot and in chibis this is SUPER relevant. A good negative space always leads to clarity, and since cheebs are a really little thing,what we want is exactly that, clarity. Try to make a clear silloutte of what you are trying to convey in the chibi, this will make it look 10 times better for starters.
Lastly, dont forget that cheebs follow the same rules as a normal drawing(like line of action, perspective, etc) In case of cheebs though is usual for the heads, eyes and mouth to be bigger, I'll explain in more detail this below!
Here's the speedpaint for more detail:
Lets go now with Anatomy and Proportions, as I was saying above, there is a lot of variety in cheebs anatomy. I dont think there is a wrong or correct way to draw a chibi here, there is just a lot of ways to draw them altough usually it follows these points:
Chibis are no more than 3 heads in height, after that it just stops feeling like a chibi drawing.
Eyes tends to be bigger, generaly eyes occupies 1/3 of the head. In my case I like to make the ears also just as big as the eyes with the shape of a bean or simply a circle. Moving to the mouth, I draw a simple shape of a triangle, just including the teeths when they smile.
Depending on the proportions you choose, it will give you different results, here you have to choose what you want for your chibi, for example: A proportion of the size of 2 heads + It gives you the liberty of draw more details and complex poses. On the other side a proportion of 1 head or less makes the chibi simpler but at the same time more cute to look at(see my examples at the end of this post!)
Last but not least, use this chart just as a reference, you can draw the bodies roundier, taller, tinier. Its up to your liking!!
Tumblr media
Hope that this was not too overwhelming haha, I am not an expert on drawing cheebs but they are fun to try! I tried to summarize my own knowledge and mixed it with some google search(ehe)
Please dont hesitate to try as much as you want, there is a lot of ways to draw the tiny ones and none of them is incorrect. Hope this helps you and thanks for reading!!!
Here are the examples I mentioned above!!

꒰ things that make nct dream flustered 🍦 ꒱
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
synopsis: flustered dream ? and they're all a bit pathetic in a cute way genre(s): established relationship, romance, fluff, stuff that could make you cry if you were just that tiny bit insane warning(s): insanity, cheese author's note: double post !?!?! i feel like my writing style is repetitive which puts me off
Tumblr media
for mark it's definitely pet names. things like “love”, “sweetheart”, "darling” and especially “baby” but it has to have the “y” at the end. normally you’d say them so naturally, not thinking too much about it, mark on the other hand is a mess. a simple question could be asked with the additional “baby” at the end and he’s praying for strength as he tries to answer with incoherent words. he'll always try to argue that he doesn’t like it, but he’s in fact proud of the fact that he’s simply yours. it’s adorable to say the least, the way he’s simply at the palm of your hands, compliant to your words just because of a simple word.
if renjun catches you staring, he’s over the moon. hearing a “pretty” slip out from your lips as you admire him. you’re shameless about it, not bothering to look away after you’ve been caught. it’s more embarrassing for him than it is for you. your gaze is so attentive and so soft he swears he’s blushing and on the verge of passing out. he’ll give you a “what do you want?” but never gets an answer as you carry on admiring his ethereal beauty. he was never one for attention, and having your attention just seemed to have more of an effect. renjun's got such a soft spot for you - he’ll never admit it though.
jeno is a dead man when you feel him, but not in that type of way. you’re simply just feeling him up out of pure curiosity. yeah, you’ve felt the man a lot but you can’t help but poke, pinch, squeeze at his muscles. you’re practically in awe of his build. obviously, you don’t like him for his body only. it's just fun to just squeeze his muscles every now and then and watch how he reacts to your ever so curious touches. you’re soft and careful, but tend to be calculative, eager for a reaction out of him. you like how he’s shy under your touch, the way he tries to ignore it all, but you can tell, anyone can tell that he’s enjoy it despite his want to not do so. jeno's fingers fidget, his face turns away from yours to avoid your gaze, sometimes you can feel him become tense as you drag your hand along his bare skin. be careful of the power you hold over him because he might just lose all sanity.
your compliments have got the lee haechan ascending into another galaxy. he’s not necessarily flustered by your side comments, he’s actually rather cocky about it, whispering for you to say some more or pretending to tuck his hair behind his ear and bat his eyelashes at you as a joke to hear you laugh. yet internally it's utter chaos, he’s on his knees in tears, screaming in pure joy. he definitely giggles about your kind words later, trying to remake the whole scenario just to feel something again. he could never let you see how much of an effect you have on him with your words. he’s a lot better when it comes to the banter you exchange on a daily basis so he’d treasure your words forever.
jaemin adores it when you become a bit whiny, not in a slap deserving way. he’s normally the whiny one, begging for attention, a kiss, a cuddle, so when the roles reverse he’s simply gone and under your command. you want to hold hands, he’s dropping everything in his hands for you; you want to cuddle, he’s diving into your embrace with no questions asked. he gets giddy when you ask him for the most simplistic of things. he adores how vulnerable and cute you sound, whining for his attention, outreaching your hand for him to hold. it’s even worse for his heart when you’re doing it half asleep, calling his name as you lay side by side, asking for a hug to nestle yourself in. jaemin would do anything you asked of him, anything at all.
if there’s one thing chenle would say he loves about you most, it’s got to be your laugh. he doesn’t care if you don’t like it, every time he hears your laugh it seriously takes his breath away. he hates the way you’ll try and hide it, he loves it so much, and he definitely loves to hear it when he’s the cause of it. he likes the one where you’re fighting for your life in tears, laughing your ass off at a joke he’s made. chenle takes pride in them every single time. he’s normally laughing with you, glancing towards your beautiful smiling face. that is, until you're laughing at him. then he’s pouting and shying away. but he could never be angry for too long seeing you so happy. if chenle could, he’d get you to laugh everyday, simply because he loves you that much.
anything can mess with this poor boy’s heart. You don’t even need to be there in jisung's presence to have some sort of effect on him. a simple text message gets his heart flatlining. texting you has got him using all of his brain power to send the perfect text only for him to regret everything he says. he can be a bit more confident through the screen, using how you can’t see him act embarrassing in the comfort of his room to his own advantage. yet a “good night <3” has got the 6ft grown adult rolling around his bed, kicking his legs, crying and screaming into his pillow awakening everyone else. it gets worse when you send a picture of yourself just because you can. the rest of nct might as well just prepare for his funeral at that point. He’s just a lovesick loser but you can’t help but love him anyway.

Baji x his everything* ੈ✩‧₊˚
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Baji x Black fem reader
Spiderverse is to him as Sanrio is to you. You cannot tell me he didn't go see the Spiderverse movies and absolutely fall in lovee
Contents: Fluff!
Tumblr media
Spiderman bf x Sanrio Gf all the way. He made you binge the spiderman movies with him. He likes all of them, but specifically Spiderverse movies with Miles?? Yeah its over for him. You guys have matching spiderman x Hello Kitty inspired bracelets that he is NEVER seen without. He also loves to quote shit from the movie, even if it's corny and makes you side eye him.
"I'm going through a canon event rn" "Toman avoided a canon event" "Nah, Imma do my own thing" "I'll take it from here" "I'm literally spiderman wym"
Like....Ok Baji. But it's cute. He just adores Miles Morales and you fuel his spiderman addiction like he fuels your sanrio addiction.
He likes when you play in his hair. He relaxes with his head in your lap like a cat, and if you play with his hair long enough, you'll send him to sleep. By the way, he's the type of boyfriend to suddenly surprise you by just randomly leaning all of his weight onto you...Beware of that.
He loves your hair. He's pretty good at detangling, but he can't get the hang of styles. He comes over to hang out and bother you whenever you do your hair though. Or he visits you at the hair salon to bring you food. The same with when you get your nails done at the nail salon. However, if he isn't with you when you get your nails done and you don't tell him that you got them done, give him one to two business days to notice. In his defense, he's way too wrapped up in your presence and making eye contact with you to look at your nails.
Lots and lots of food dates. If there's one thing that boy can do it's eat. Also, while he does like to be romantic for you, you two find adventurous and interesting dates better than static restaurant dates. Im talking things like axe throwing, rage rooms, laser tag, arcade's. Things of that nature. Baji loves having fun with you, its when you smile the brightest.
The type of boyfriend that likes to snoop around your room. Not in an intentionally invasive 'trying to catch my partner cheating' kind of way, but he thinks you and all the stuff you have are interesting. He's always asking you what something is, poking at the books on your bookshelf, comparing your eyelash curler to mideval torture devices ect. He'll also place your plushies on your head, and he probably has tried to wear your bonnet at least once..
When he starts acting up during Toman meetings, they send him to you LMAO. Either to your house, or over to wherever you're sitting/standing at the time. They like to joke that when Baji hasnt gotten his daily dose of you, he starts tweaking and acting worse than normal, so they get you to remind him to be on his best normal civilian behavior.
Baji is proud of his ranking and involvement with Toman. He's proud to show you off to all his friends, and he likes to see his lover and his friends mesh so well. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. However, in times that tensions arise, he's a little more cautious with you. He's certainly had a nightmare or two that something happened to you. He's even given you his Toman jacket with his name on it to wear whenever you have to walk home from school if he isn't there for some reason to walk with you. He wants everyone to know that if they mess with you, they mess with him. And forgiveness is automatically ruled out if someone so much as lays a finger on your head without your permission.
He likes to eat your chapstick/lipgloss??? He immediately pounces on you whenever he sees you reapply, especially if he recognizes the little tube with his favorite flavors. He'll kiss you all over, but paying specific attention to your lips. He might even nibble on your lips. Not even in a sexual way, but it's like candy to him and you have to shove his face away if you want any remnants of your lip products to remain on.
It's the same when you wear cocoa butter. He learned from past experience that unfortunately, your cocoa butter lotion does not taste as good as it smells, but that doesn't stop him from occasionally biting you with his sharp ass teeth whenever he's bored or you aren't paying enough attention to him. He just does it to annoy you at this point, but never enough to actually hurt you.
He's the type of boyfriend to say 'no' when you ask him to do it, and then immediately do it. Also says shit just to mess with you.
"You know I went to juvie once? I gave two guys there a concusion." "Seriously? What'd you go for?" "I set a whole apartment complex on fire." "....Are you lying?" "yeah"
He will occasionally bring you flowers, but more often, he prefers to bring you other interesting trinkets. He doesn't like the idea that his proclamations of his love (the flowers) end up dying. So he takes to getting you other things. Plushie bouquets, lego flowers to put together, origami he made forced chifuyu to help him make ect.
He takes the sidewalk rule seriously. He doesn't want you get hurt at all, and he also stares down any guys that are up to no good. He's 10000% ready to fight for you.
However, if its raining and your hair is in a protective style, he's definitely gonna try and move the umbrella/pull you out in the rain to mess with you. He's like an orange cat that requires to cause mischief....constantly. He likes play fighting with you, and OCCASIONALLY will let you win. He tries and act like he isn't ticklish himself, but if you tickle him mid wrestling, its almost a certified win for you. He's also down for any tiktok trend you wanna try and film with you.
All in all, He's definitely an orange cat kind of guy. Whenever you tease him about his little k-9's poking out unconsciously, he WILL blush. But honestly, its one of the cutest things about him. He's a very physical boyfriend, and loves to roughhouse. Whenever you're not around, he gets pretty restless and bored....He's also more prone to getting in trouble. Even his mom notices you keep him in line. It's kind of cute.
Tumblr media
A/n: BAJI STANS RISE 🗣🗣🗣 I was rewatching tokyo revengers and the way his little tooth can be seen poking through is SO CUTE. We need to bring back an era with more baji x readers that aren't just straight smut
Rb's are appreciated! I'd love to reach a bigger audience &lt;3
My Requests are: Open!

What im hearing is:
Little crow feet outside my window bcs im feeding them- that’s besides the point!
Is there magic??? His shovel looks magic and they look magic
And do give me every detail you are thinking of for the series even if its in the distant future or not that relevant but you want to share
Tumblr media
Crows!! Cute!! Also sorry i didnt get to this sooner my laptop BROKE (still broken but usable) and my mom and i have been looking for someone to fix it. Ive been drawing with it sparingly to be careful.
YES there is magic. Of course im still working on this storywise but im getting characters designs n whatnot done right now. Dynamics n stuff. BUT i do have some refs i made before my laptop broke.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like to draw out certain stuff so that it helps with descriptions in the future; i have the worst memory so it helps to be able to do so. (More beneath cut)
Im so excited for moon's shadow form. Oh my god. Its probably my favorite thing right now.
Fun thing about it is that in this form he can touch you but you cant touch him. Something something you can be cast in shadow but you cant take it off yk? He's still light sensitive like this though, so if the area hes in isn't dark enough or he's hit with anything too bright he just reverts back. At that point he'd just have to rely on normal hand to hand stuff and his sand lol. The shadow form is just better for sneaking and speed. Really, he's some amalgamative idea of the sandman and boogieman. I thought it fit well with his whole "naptime attendant gone wrong" thing.
Sun's design, however, is more like if you mixed a cowboy, wizard, and gravedigger together. I made it a while ago on a whim with no intention behind it but then i ended up thinking "ykw would be so awesome".
The hat dips to cover the crescent side of his face (not intentional on his part) to symbolize his resentment towards moon and how he basically damned him to an hourglass. His eyes are easier to see bc of this which could seem more trusting (eyes are the window to the soul or whatever), but the thing is thats not normal for him (as we know) so it's meant to make him look suspicious and looming to 4th wall viewers. There's also the fact that i just thought it was cool too.
He also doesn't get a second form. Moon's sneaky and weird so i thought it would fit to give him some freaky thing iykwim. Sun, however, is a pretty "in your face" kinda guy, so his look and fight style is more extravagant and boisterous. Lots of swinging amd yelling and boom bang zap! Despite the showiness he's actually a longer range fighter. Mainly because unlike moon, thousands of years ago, he wasn't often one to get violent with his hands. His weapon is just obnoxiously large too though.
They are still one animatronic and their transformation is still triggered by light. Instead of an AI chip though (which is still in there but long dead), they live through the work of a soul. They're still physically inorganic but as far as spiritually they're as close as they're gonna get to being human. Their life and functionailty is derived from the magic itself, not the machinery. Like if for some reason they lost all their magic they'd just drop dead from a battery life long since drained.
The hourglass has a carousel-like design to it purely as reference to moon's level in Help Wanted 2.
Sorry for rambling so much but this is what i've got for you so far! I have a general idea for the plot but im tryna to make it more than what it is rn, so i dont wanna share too much of that just yet in case i change or completely toss away an idea.

Genuinely I would give anything to hear your thoughts or read more critical analysis of yours on other webcomics writing (*slides you Marionetta* I like the webtoon but there are some things in the writing that I'd like to see be discussed critically more often but the fandom focuses way too much on shipping. sighs..)
Anyway, you probably have been asked this before but are there any webtoons in particular you would recommend? :D
Oh lord, you don't know how many times a week I get asks in my inbox asking for my opinions on webtoons they're reading. It's really sweet that people wanna hear me talk about other works outside of LO, but unfortunately I just don't have the time to read as much as I used to, even keeping up on LO lately is getting really difficult 😅 I'm definitely keeping a list though of works to check out!
That said, I try not to read series on the basis of criticizing them because frankly I just... don't want to spend time reading something if people are only looking for me to rag on it? 😆 Of course I know that's not the only reason, I know there's also just the element of seeing me talk extensively about other works the way that I do with LO, but it's not really something I can turn on and off like that, I have to get really into a series to want to talk about it to that extent. So it often comes down to just luck of the draw :'0
Right now the series I'm keeping up the most on (or have completed and would absolutely 100% re-read):
Alfie (18+, it's porn with plot but the plot is REALLY GOOD , I SWEAR LMAO the art is gorgeous, the characterization is IMMACULATE, and it ironically tackles the subject of purity culture way better than LO ever has lol)
Theia Mania (the creator is often in my comment section / neck of the woods, she's been working on an Abduction of Persephone retelling for a long while now and has also tackled other myth retellings in her style! I always love seeing new pages of her work in my feed :' ) <3)
Tales from Alderwood (if you like fantasy and comedy, this one's great, the plot's really starting to get interesting and it's just got this really great sense of humor about it)
The Black Parade (this one's REALLY interesting, it's a comic-stylized version of My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade, using the songs as narration and sometimes even dialogue to tell a visual story, it's really cool and the art matches beautifully with the lyrics and style of MCR!)
A Tale of Two Rulers (this is a Legend of Zelda fancomic that poses the question, "What if Zelda and Ganondorf got married to solve their political crisis?" It updates a lot slower than most of the other comics I follow but the art and writing is so worth it <3)
Dogs of Future Past (and p much all of Lynx's Undertale comics which can be found in the link, seriously, THESE are the comics you wanna read if you wanna get into Undertale fanworks, they are PEAK)
Tamberlane (this one's an anthro comic, I normally don't read anthro but this one actually gripped me by the throat, the art is gorgeous and the character arcs so far have been great!)
The Mafia Nanny (okay it's legit so funny that I'm including this one here but I've been reading it the last couple days after seeing it basically beat out LO at the top of the trending tab for a couple days, so I figured I'd give it a shot, at first I was like "great more tropey shit" but the more I read it the more it's actually started to get pretty good, I'm holding out and hoping to god it stays that way LOL it's not especially deep or anything like that, but it's really fun and cute to read and the shipping of the main character within the narrative isn't too self-absorbed which I can always appreciate, I'd honestly be 100% fine with it if it didn't turn into a romance)
City of Blank (I talk about this one a lot here, but it's one of my favorite Originals right now, the art is super polished and the writing has gotten INTENSE, go check it out if you want some fun action / sci-fi storytelling!)
Time and Time Again (a time-travelling vampire and his werewolf boyfriend get into all kinds of misadventures, what more could you ask for?)
Touch of Divinity (like the Mafia Nanny, this is one I just started reading, it's got a very interesting premise so far and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes!)

Hi I really like your writing. It captures fuegoleon's character so well
Can I request for Fuegoleon with wife s/o who gets rill to make a a family portrait of them along with Leopold and marroleona and she hangs it up and shows fue when he comes back home? Fue sees there's a weird little space/blank spot between him and s/o and asks about it and s/o tells him that she's pregnant and once the baby is born, rill will add it in?
I thought this would be a really cute way to break it to fue that he's going to be a dad🥰
I think these Pregnancy reveal fics have been my favorite to write so far lol thank you for asking for another one!!

Family Portrait
You were extra giddy that day as you quickly carried something down the halls of the Vermillion family Manor. This "something" was not an item easily recognized, as most of the maids and butlers craned their heads to watch you go, all they saw was a large white cloth in the vague shape of a rectangle nearly the size of your body.
And you wouldn't let anyone touch it, even-
"Please, allow me my lady-" One young man reached out kindly to you.
"Thank you, but I got it!" You quickly danced around him and then went on your merry way.
-when they tried to help.
The people present watched you excitedly round the corner before glancing at one another.
"Wonder what that was about…?"
"Is she heading for lord Vermillion's office?"
"But he isn't home right now…"
And you were well aware of that. In fact, you had specifically planned it this way. You wanted it to be a surprise when he came home from work, and that means setting it up quickly beforehand. You giggled to yourself as you used your spare key to open up the doors to his office, slip inside and relock it.
You glanced around, as if to really make sure you were all alone, and once you confirmed the coast to be clear you took your precious item and leaned it up against the desk. With a wide smile and a flurry of your hand you snatched the cloth away to reveal a simple frame housing a detailed painting.
"It looks so good!" You could hardly contain your excitement. As you moved around the room to pick a good place to hang it up you thought back why you requested such an item.
Rill had been more than excited to do the painting for you. Especially after you told him why you needed it. He worked with you for days, constant back and forth contact to make sure every detail was perfect, from the clothing everyone wore to the expression of Mereoleona.
Rill had told you he was so excited to finish it he barely got any sleep, and for a brief moment you worried about his squad with a sleep deprived captain. But that feeling had quickly been squashed by pure excitement after he presented the finished product to you.
And with it now on the wall, above the couch by the door, you had to admire Rill's handiwork all over again.
It was a family portrait, painted on a canvas so large you could hide behind it if you crouched down low enough. You weren't one for such a large and flashy style (momentarily your mind drifted to the unnecessarily large image of Acier Silva that was the first thing anyone saw when walking into their home.) But with how many people were present in the painting, Rill said it would unfortunately have to be on the larger side.
It pictured the whole Vermillion family, with you and Fuegoleon right in the front, seated facing one another on a couch. Behind you was Leopold, with a hand on the back of the couch, looking like a dashing young man. And behind Fuegoleon was Mereoleona, with her staple grin, but Rill was kind enough to make it look less crazed and more cocky. It was better than nothing.
He had offered you a few samples of her with something more calm and normal. But it just didn't look right, infact it was almost creepy. This was much better in your eyes.
You and Fuegoleon looked elegant, happy smiles and loving eyes. Between you though was an empty space, and it wouldn't look quite so out of place if the two of you weren't positioned as if you were holding something. With your body leaning forward slightly and arms up, Fuegoleon's hand resting on your elbow to help support it. It looked more bizarre the longer you stared, and a small anxiety built up in you.
'What if he doesn't like it?' Were the thoughts slowly creeping their way into your mind.
But you quickly reminded yourself why you got this painting made at all and all of the excitement rushed back. You couldn't wait till he came home, and since you times it as well as you did, glancing at the clock yo check the time-
The door suddenly clicked as the lock tumbled open and Fuegoleon pushed on the door. He was barely inside when he noticed you standing there and his eyes went wide.
"My love!" He greeted you with pleasant surprise, wasting no time to close the door behind him and walk over to embrace you.
"Hello, Fuego!" You greeted him back. "Did you have a good day?"
"I did." He pulled back so he could look down into your face. "Though it's better now that you're here. I wasn't expecting this."
"I wanted to surprise you." You let out a giggle as you hugged him tightly. You wanted to hold onto his pleasant warmth a little longer before showing him his gift, which was currently to his back.
"I can see that. Some of the servants were telling me how excited you looked today?"
The moment of truth was slowly coming and your stomach was starting to bubble up. Like a child the night before their birthday.
"I was eager to set something up." You pulled back and you watched Fuegoleon give the smallest tilt of his head.
"Oh, what was it?"
You grabbed his arm and gently turned him around so he could face the painting.
"Oh-!" He tensed slightly in surprise. You could easily picture his wide eyes and slightly slack jaw as he stared at it. Taking in all of its details. You felt his shoulders relax and let him pull away to walk towards it so he could see it up close.
"My love, where did you get this?"
"Rill made it~" You grinned behind him.
"Rill did? I always knew he was talented but…"
"But?"
"Well lets just say, most of his paintings I've seen myself were magic related."
Ahh, you've only witnessed Rills magic a couple of times, but you agree with Fuegoleon that it could be abstract at times. The harpy woman was still an oddly vivid memory for you.
"But, my love…"
You quickly snapped back to the present. Nearly bouncing on your heels now.
"What's this empty space, are you supposed to be holding something?"
The moment of truth….
"Well that, my dearest~" you slid right next to him, wrapping one arm around his and leaning your head against his shoulder. "That is for our baby. But it's not here yet, so I had Rill leave the space empty."
It took Fuegoleon no time to pick up on your words.
"Baby?" His head snapped down to look at you with wide eyes. And you tilted your head back to look up at him, a big smile on your face with all of your built up happiness.
"That's right, our baby."
His mouth opened and closed a few times as if he was trying to get his thoughts straight enough to think. But actions speak louder than words, and so he snatched you up in a big hug, burying his face against you as you gleefully laughed.
"Congratulations. Dad to be~" you laughed.
"Congratulations to us!" He began to laugh with you, whole he spun you around and danced around the room, the pair of you on cloud nine.

“Wow.” You breathed out at the sight of your girlfriend, Velvet.
She looked stunning. Well, she always does, but especially now. Her fashions sense has always been the best, but she really knocked it out of the park with this outfit. She was decked out head to toe in purple and gold. Her dress and makeup were so sparkly, you could go blind. Luckily, your eyes were used to this level of brightness, as it was normal for Velvet.
She strutted over to you, fully aware of the stares she was getting from others. She was a celebrity, so it’s impossible to not be looked at. She ignored it this time though. The only person she cared about was you.
“Hey Velvet!” You said, a bit flustered. One hand fiddled with the hem of your frilly dress, while the other did the same with the strap of your bag.
“Hey (name).” Velvet said cooly. She flipped her ponytail from over her shoulder, to behind her. She was smirking, looking at the color of your flushed cheeks.
“You look beautiful!” You complimented.
Velvet chuckled. “Yeah, I know.” She said confidently. You assumed she wouldn’t say anything else. She wasn’t the most comfortable with showing affection. But she surprised you. “Same to you. That color looks good on you.” She avoided eye contact as she said this, and her cheeks turned a bit more pink.
“Oh, thanks!” You said, and Velvet smiled.
She held out her hand for you to take. “Ready to go?”
You nodded, and took it. Then the two of you began walking to your destination.
The purpose of this date was to celebrate you and Velvet’s six month anniversary. It’s a big milestone, so what better way celebrate than to do both you guys’ favorite thing: shopping? And to be sure you wouldn’t be interrupted, Velvet brought a bodyguard. He’d stay at a good distance, so you two would have your space. But he’d prevent anyone from running up to you guys, or even taking pictures from afar.
~~~~
You made it to the entrance of the mall, and you opened the door for Velvet. She thanked you, and you immediately clung back onto her arm. Velvet sighed, but not of annoyance. She didn’t mind your clinginess.
The first store you went to was full of things that peaked your interest. There were tons of cute clothes and accessories, you felt you could die from happiness! Velvet watched with a smile as you circled around the store, picking up and looking at various things. Each item, you made sure to hold up and show her. Velvet made sure to give an honest opinion on each of them. But none were really negative, as she thinks anything in this style looks good on you.
At the checkout, your arms were wrapped around her. “Thank you so much Vels!” You said happily.
“Oh, don’t thank me yet. We’re just getting started!” She leaned down for a kiss, which you gladly accepted. It was a bit of a surprise though, as Velvet wasn’t usually the one to initiate them, especially in public. Though, lately she has been getting better at showing affection, much to your delight.
~~~~
The sun was setting, and you and Velvet just got back to her house. The bodyguard carried most of the bags inside. But you insisted on carrying at least some, felling bad for him. After all, he was a bodyguard, not a servant.
Once everything was inside, you and Velvet cuddled up on the couch. You decided to put everything away the next day, since it was getting a bit late. With the TV remote in her hand, Velvet flipped through channels, trying to find a movie to watch. As she did so, you sneakily snuggled a bit closer to her. She noticed, and you expected her to just leave you alone. But instead, she copied your action. She wrapped an arm around your waist, and scooted closer. She then rested her head on yours, before continuing looking for a movie.
You smiled. Looking back to when you first started dating, Velvet really didn’t show any physical affection at all. You figured that it made her uncomfortable. But fast forward to now, she’s gotten much more used to it. While she’s still not the most affectionate, she shows her love in her own way. The two of you have come so far in the last six months, and now you can’t wait to have another go by so you can celebrate your one year anniversary.

Fuck Buddies - Harry Styles
Harry and Y/n are college friends. With benefits, rules set in place to keep each other at arms distance keep getting broken. What happens when Harry drops a bomb on her?
Warnings: none really. No smut yet. Some fluff I guess? Cute soft college Harry. Golden retriever Harry.
Word count: 2.9k
THANK YOU FOR 400 FOLLOWERS <3 I love you all so much and this really gave me the kick in the butt to finally finish this piece. Though I’m posting it from my phone cause I’m on vacation and don’t have my laptop with me so it’s a lil wonky <3 love you guys so much thank you.
Tumblr media
(I fuckin love prince Harry era. Almost as much as long hair Harry soooo that’s what we’re going for here. Just sayin)
Friends with benefits with no feelings doesn't really work. Not with Y/n at least. She caught feelings fast. Especially when the friend she’s fucking is the hottest. Cutest. Sweetest man she has ever met. Harry Styles. Haz as she calls him. And as seniors in college it’s not like they have much time for relationships anyways. But here they are three months into their arrangement.
If she ever told Harry about her feelings he would end the arrangement right away because that was rule number one. No feelings. Along with no dates. No sleep overs. And no cuddles. But they broke the no cuddles rules all the time. So here she was laying in bed after a very satisfying go around and he fell asleep. She wanted to savor the feeling of laying next to him before she woke him up. She traced the scratches across his back that she had just put there a little while before. His slightly longer than normal hair was swept in curls at the base of his neck. She ghosts her fingers up the center of his spine to the dark chocolate curls. She runs her fingernails along his scalp. A whispered groan leaves his throat.
“Haz you gotta get up, go home,” she whispered. He began to mumble and whine
“I’m so tired, go away,” he grumbled.
“No Harry. Now come on I have to get ready for my shift at the coffee shop,” she whips off the covers and expose both of their naked bodies. His body tenses at the cold he turns to look at her but his eyes are still closed. He slowly opens his eyes. The soft green makes her heart skip a beat.
“Just go I’ll sleep here,”
“No sleep overs,”
“Rules are made to be broken Y/n,” He chuckles.
“You better be gone when I get out of the shower,” He gives her a chuckle and wiggles back under the covers. She gets out of bed and drags herself to the bathroom. Closing the door behind her and clicking on the lights in one fluid motion. She stands in front of herself in the mirror and examines her body. Little marks scatter her skin. Barely noticeable but she sees them. Feathered kisses that turned into sloppy open mouth breaths and then to light bite marks down the length of her torso and down in between her legs. She lets out a sigh.
“Shoulda made no marks a rule too,” she laughs. Once she’s standing under the hot stream of water she hears the door click open and shut. She doesn’t look but speaks. “You better be in here to be taking a wee,” she mocks his accent. His arms then envelope her waist.
“That was going to be the excuse but I got distracted,” he hums into the skin of her shoulder.
“Mmm, well Mr.Styles,” she turns to face him and he immediately places a kiss to her lips causing her to quiet. He pulls back only to plant another one on her. He finally pulls away for real after a few more pecks.
“Got I love your lips,” her heart jumps at the word love. Like it’s telling her to say ‘HEY! HEY! HARRY I LOVE YOU TOO!! She runs her hands from his sides up to chest crossing over his inked skin. Coming to the back of his neck to bring his face to hers. The words at the tip of her tongue. His mouth collides with her causing her head to clear and make the need between her legs grow. His hands scoop her up and bring her to the edge of the shower. A yelp escapes her as she makes contact with the cold tile. Which sends the both of them into a fit of laughter.
“Holy shit that’s cold,” she laughs. He sets her down and smiles through the kisses he continues to press against her skin.
“Sorry baby,” the nickname sends shivers down her spine. She is now back in the spray warming her body. She then pushes him away from her. A frown etches itself into his face.
“I have to actually shower before I work so get outta here,” He goes to grab at her and she slaps his hand. “No, go home you horny bastard,” He just smiles and stays where he is.
“Shower then,” when he still didn’t move she just turned around and continued her shower routine. By the time she started to rinser her the shampoo from her hair he had left the bathroom.
. . .
Once she was done with her shower and dressed she made her way out of her single bedroom into the living area. Harry was standing in her kitchen wearing just boxers and socks. Music blasting in the sound system Harry said you just had to have. He is using the whisk as a microphone in between stirring the pancake batter.
“I have to open the coffee shop, Harry. I can't stay for breakfast,” she laughs.
“I know, these pancakes are for me,” He smiles.
“Well why are you making them in my kitchen? With my ingredients?”
“I don’t have any,” He points at her with the whisk. Flinging batter in a line across her body. The white of the batter contrasted against her black outfit. Harry holds back a smile.”Shit I’m sorry Y/n.”
“Harry!” she gasps. “I’m already late,” She whined. His lips are rolled into his mouth concealing a smile.
“I really didn’t mean to do that,” he clicks off the stove and puts down the whisk. She is just standing there with her arms frozen where they were when he doused her in batter. He grabs her hands and brings them down to her sides, not letting go just letting their intertwined hands hang. “I’m sorry, let me go get dresses and you can change and I’ll drive you so you don’t have to use the bus?” she makes her thinking face. “I know you like using the bus but this will save you time,”
“Okay fine,” she didn’t like Harry offering to drive her anymore because she hated to seem like a burden. Also why not use public transportation when you can? They made their way to her bedroom and began changing clothes. As she looked over at him buttoning and zipping his pants and her undoing hers his eyes caught hers and he raised his eyebrows with a smirk?
“You like what you see Y/n?” She catches her bottom lip in a smile. Shaking her head.
“You’re so annoying,”
“That’s not what you said last night,”
“Oh shut it Styles,” She laughs. She goes to her closet and grabs another simple outfit. Jeans and one of her band tees. Well it used to be Harry’s but he left it here one night after their escapades and she has since claimed it her own. After the fabric falls over her torso Harry comes up behind her in the mirror, his eyes finding hers in the reflection. He then eyes her up and down.
“Seeing you in my clothes gets hotter every time,” he places a kiss on her shoulders. His hands coming up to hold her waist. “Makes me feel things I shouldn’t want to feel,” He continues kissing up her neck. Her head falls and meets his shoulder revealing more skin he greedily attacks. Her heart skips a beat as the words leave his lips. Could he like her? Was he just talking dirty? She had no clue and didn’t wanna hurt her feelings if it was just talk. She pulls away as his hands were nearing her chest.
“I have to get to work Harry,” she groans. His shoulders slump as she pulls away. They shuffle out of her room. Out of her apartment and out into the parking garage to Harry’s car. An older camaro that he has been working on for years. His baby. The ride to her work is quiet and boring. As he pulls into the parking lot. He grabs her arm.
“Gimme your apartment key,” he grabs at her purse and she snactches it.
“Why?” she gives him a look.
“I wanna go clean my mess and make my pancakes?” she rolls her eyes and takes the key off the chain.
“Don’t leave a mess and just leave it in the doorframe spot when you leave,” he smiles at her.
“Thank you love,” she can’t help the smile that breaks across her face.
. . .
Her six hour shift was never ending. She got yelled at far too many times. She messed up far too many orders and got far too little tips. So when Harry came in when she had twenty minutes left of her shift she felt like she was gonna break down. His presence just does something to her. She had to take a minute before getting back to the rush. Harry got his black coffee and sat at the table closest to the counter. She could feel him watching her and it made the hairs on her neck stand on end.
“You okay Y/n?” her co-worker asks. “You seem like, on edge or something,” she just shrugs.
“I’m just feeling off, I don't know,” she shrugs again.
“Adriane just got here so you can head out a little early if you want?” Y/n nods and reaches up to untie her apron.
“I think I’ll take you up on that thank you,” you let out a breath. Make yourself a coffee before clocking out and you are in front of Harry.
“Whatcha doin?” she asks.
“Coming to pick up a friend,” he smiles at her.
“Oh really?” He nods and stands. Grabbing her bag off her shoulder and walking out the door. He slips the strap over his shoulder. She follows behind him grabbing at his coat sleeve when squeezing in between patrons. He reaches out from the fabric and laces his fingers with hers and her heart skips a beat. She suppresses a smile with a nose scrunch and squeezes his fingers. Once they escape the flood of people feening for their caffeine she takes a deep breath of stinging cold air. The tension releases from her shoulders and she sighs.
“Long day?” Harry asks. His hand was still wrapped with hers.
“Never ending,” she has the urge to lean into him and warm her body with his but fear of rejection stopped her. It’s always what stops her. He pulls at her hand dragging her down the sidewalk.
“Well talk about it,” he pulls her close to him causing the length of their arms to touch. “I couldn’t park anywhere close so we gotta go around the block okay?” she nods.
“Well I was yelled at like a million times. I fucked up way to many orders and we have been so busy all day i only got like one ten ish minute break,” she let out a big sigh. “I just want to crawl into bed and sleep for like a year,” he huffs out a laugh.
“Well we can do that,”
“We?” she asks
“I may have lost my keys. I have no idea where they went,” he held up her key between his pointer and thumb. “But I still have yours,” he smiles cheekily. She snatches the key from his hand and tries to put it back on her key ring. The cold caused her fingers to shake and made her unable to get the key on the ring. Harry’s hand comes over hers and grabs the key from her. “I got it,” his hands are warm and unshaking, letting him slip the key on the ring easily.
“Thank you,” he slips the key ring into his pocket and grabs her hand and slips both of their intertwined fingers into his pocket.
“I guess you can stay at my place until you can get into yours,” she shrugs.
“Good because Lord knows I don’t have anywhere else to go,” his cute dimpled smile can always coax a grin out of her. Usually complimented by a blush across her cheeks.
“What about Mitch’s place?”
“He just got a girlfriend and they,” he pauses and cocks his head slightly. “Have been going at it like rabbits,” causing both of them to chuckle. “I swung by the other day and they were just fuckin right on the couch. So I just turned around and walked out,” she slowly moves over and presses herself into Harry’s body. The cold chills her to the bone.
“Ah okay,” she nods. “You can sleep on the couch cause you’re a blanket hog,” he pushes against you and laughs.
“Yeah, so says the bed hog. You had me smushed into the corner all night. What self respecting adult has a corner bed?”
“I have a tiny room okay?” They had finally made their way to the car and Harry was opening her door for her.
“Well we will just have to see where we fall asleep love,” and with that he closes the door with a smirk.
“Honey.” she whispers to herself as he makes his way over to his door and gets into the car. He turns the key in the ignition and the air blasts sending a shock down her spine.
“It’ll get warm I promise,” He quickly pulled out of the parking space and off they went. The ride back to Y/n’s apartment is quiet but comfortable. The heat finally starts to kick in right as Harry pulls into the designated parking space for her apartment.
“So. I may have cleaned up the apartment a bit. Um,” he awkwardly twitches his neck. “I started with my mess and it just kinda spiraled from there,” he shrugs. She rolls her eyes at him.
“Why can’t you just leave my mess alone,” she laughs.
“Because I’m at your apartment more than mine and it drives me crazy,” the pair had made it out of the car and to the back entrance of the complex. Y/n unlocks the door and makes her way into the building Harry slowly trailing behind her. She stops at the wall of mail boxes and searches through her never ending key ring to find the mailbox key.
“How did you manage to lose your keys but still drive?” She asks as she finally finds the key and inserts it into the lock.
“I took it off to get a copy. Made the copy. Lost both keys,” he shrugs sheepishly.
“Why did you need a copy?” She closes the mailbox locks it up and starts sifting through the mail. They make their way up the stairs.
“I lost my spare,” she rolls her eyes.
“You know. You’re kind of a dumbass,” Y/n scoffs.
“Yeah but I’m your dumbass right?” She gives him a look.
“I mean I guess,” Harry shrugs. Once they’ve made it up three flights of stairs she lets them into her apartment. Once the door is open she can smell the pine-sol and cleaners.
The floor basically sparkles and not a stray piece of clothing around. All the dishes are tucked into the small kitchen. The dingy old couch has VACUUM LINES?!
“Harry what did you do? How long were you cleaning?”
“Your place was a mess Y/n. I had to do something,” he says as he dumps himself into the couch limbs flopping everywhere.
“I would've gotten to it!” She says. Which causes Harry to let out a laugh.
“When?! When your lease is up?” He smiles.
She grabs a pillow off the armchair and throws it at him. Then makes her way to the kitchen. Harry watches her open the fridge from his spot on the couch. She opens the door to a fridge stocked full of food.
“HAROLD!” She groans. “Why did you do this!” He smiles and drops his head back on the couch.
“So. Um,” he coughs. “We need to talk?” He asks more than commands.
“Harry?” She says. In a way that condemns him to speak. “What is it?”
“I may have been kicked out of my apartment yesterday,” she doesn’t say anything. She stands there with her mouth agape and her eyes wide. “Fuckin Chad,” he laughs at the nickname you had given his roommate at the beginning of the year. “He took my keys. Packed my shit and left it in the hall with a note saying. Sorry bro. Gotta find a new place,” he shrugs.
“Did you tell the RA?! That’s not okay! He can’t just kick you out of your dorm room. It’s not his to kick you out of?!” She has since closed the fridge and is now pacing the kitchen floor.
“No I just took my shit and put it in the back of my car and now I’m here,” he stands himself up from the couch and makes his way to her. Grasping her arms in his hands and stopping her from wearing a hole in the floor. “I mean I figured since I basically already live here I could crash with you for a bit?” She freezes. Her eyes stare into his. He can almost see her brain running one hundred miles a minute thinking about it. After what feels like a lifetime of silence he sighs.
“I’ll just go stay with Mitch then,” he lets go of her bus she grabs his shirt just before he’s out if her reach.
“No, you can stay here,” he looks at her with a raised brow. Almost like he’s asking ‘but?’ She sighs and rolls her eyes. “But we’re not fucking,” she lets go of him and walks to her bedroom. He rolls his lips into his mouth and breathes out of his nose. As her door closes behind her he shrugs and lets out a little.
“We’ll see,” and smiles.

Ok I just need to come here and say: got costumes were not that great. They were showing off with the embroidery, but it was made purposefully “rustic” which contributed to it looking unprofessional, and made Cersei look like an idiot. The embroidery was very detailed, true, but you couldn’t see it while watching, it just looked like a blob usually.
The colours were dull, and most of the costumes were not well thought through. And also I don’t really think they fit that well? what looked great on Lena, looked very questionable on Sophie, which was not supposed to be happening. I’m not even going to discuss the jewelry.
Wot costumes are much better, are clearly comfortable for actors to be in (remembering Sophie again and how awkward she moves in the dresses sometimes, and like compared to the way Madeleine and Zoe look and move, even though they have spent most of the second season in uncomfortable clothes), show status clearly without the insane classism of got “you are either wealthy and beautiful or literally live in a pigsty” and are weather appropriate. And they embody the “early 90s late 80s fantasy looks” much better than got. So in my book wot is definitely much better.
Sorry I’m the costume rant anon. Wanted to add that a lot of costumes in got and wot have a similar silhouette and the difference in quality is like. Obvious. I know it’s subjective but like. I think we have been gaslit that got costumes are THAT good
iiiinteresting! i only know GOT costumes from seeing them around social media, so i can't weigh in here since i haven't seen them in context while actually watching an episode, so it is interesting to get a perspective from someone who's watched both shows! (and who knows stuff about costumes and how to judge quality - i don't at all haha i just go "oh that looks pretty, i like it!")
but i definitely agree that WOT costumes look generally pretty comfortable in the sense that i buy real people would actually wear these clothes day-to-day (i mean, except for statement pieces like lanfear's TAR dominatrix outfit or siuan's ceremonial attire). one that jumps to mind right away is one of alanna's s2 outfits - super pretty, but also looks quite cozy for just a normal day at the tower teaching novices!
Tumblr media
and that's a really great point about how status comes across in WOT costumes. here, we can obviously tell that moiraine is upper class and egwene is a humble villager, but egwene's outfit is still pretty and well-made and colorful and clean, just simpler fabric & style than moiraine's (and she gets to wear jewelry too despite being a humble villager, just simpler jewelry than moiraine. and her skirt is a cute plaid pattern and she has a nice dash of simple, handmade-looking embroidery on her top - perhaps she added that embroidery herself to jazz up her Best Feastday Shirt!)

Kiss Kiss Fall into another old hyperfixation
Anyway, I randomly wanted to redesign the main cast of Ouran in my style/ with headcanons and my own embellishments
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's a screenshot redraw, I'll put all the redesigns below the break bc I did all the main characters & wanna talk about the choices I made. Also I made up that uniform redesign on the spot bc I when I was doing the characters I just put them in casual clothes lmao
(I might do some others later, like Renge, Kasanoda, Yasuchika, Benibara, etc.)
Going in order of my least favorite to top favorite. And dont mind that I didn't color the clothes, that's not whats important here lmao
Tumblr media
Mori is only at the bottom because I don't like the drawing that much, I still think the design is pretty good. Though, like right when I finished coloring, I decided a bun/top-knot would look better so it's a bit disappointing there. In my head, Mori is kind of struggling to figure out who he is & what he wants to do, which is why he follows Honey around and doesn't talk much. He does genuinely like being around the other hosts though.
Also, the undercut because A) he has the reputation for being the scary one & it kinda suits that, B) uh do I even have to say it? ...its hot He does lowkey look like Sokka from Avatar tho, especially with the blue accents
(edit: I accidentally deleted Mori's file so now this is the only copy so 😭)
Tumblr media
Honey is next because again I think the drawing itself is a little off and the design is pretty close to Basil from Omori, which i didn't notice until it was too late lmao. One of the main things I didn't like about his character in the show was obviously how childlike he was & how girls still flirted with him even though he looked and acted 6; So now he still acts a bit childish but doesn't play it up as much & definitely has a more normal voice, not a fckn child's.
Tumblr media
Haruhi! I definitely had to keep her glasses cuz they were really cute and kinda sold the whole 'commoner' thing in a way. But other than that I mainly wanted to balance out her femininity and masculinity to make her more androgynous/nonbinary/gender-fluid since she definitely has some of that going on in the show as is. I also gave her dark circles under her eyes to kinda show that she worked really hard to get into Ouran with low status.
Tumblr media
Next up is Tamaki of course, getting into the characters I'm most happy with the designs of. One small thing I tried to do for each of them was give them varying hair tones; so even though Honey and Tamaki are both blond, I went very platinum-blond with him. When I started drawing him, my only real thought was "he has to be a pretty boy" so I dont have much to say about my choices, but i do think I succeeded. Don't mind the modern mullet thing, I can't stop it
Tumblr media
Kyouya is definitely one of my favorite characters as is, seeing as he has one of the more fleshed out & heart-wrenching backstories in the show. I think the only thing I really wanted to change was getting rid of the Anime Bangs, so I just gave him this kinda sleek, kinda messy pushed-back look with a blue tint. Even though it's simple, I really struggled to come up with anything, until I found a page from the author saying smth like "I don't like the idea of him wearing neat clothes" with a picture of him in like a track suit so I did kinda the same outfit
Tumblr media
My absolute #1 favorites, Hikaru & Kauru. They're honestly the ones that started it all because Kauru has been my favorite since I first saw the halloween episode (iykyk).
I don't know why, but I wanted their hair to be fluffier/curly and more of a natural(?) ginger color. I knew I wanted Kauru's to be redder and Hikaru's a bit lighter/blonder, but only subtly. I also gave Kauru a scar on his cheek from that time in Karuizawa, but most notably, I gave them blue and pink eyes as their signature colors. Lastly, their expressions are slightly different, because no matter how much they are in sync and try to match each other perfectly, Kauru's a much gentler soul than Hikaru, so I made Hikaru's smile a bit more snarky while Kauru's is soft.
Thank you for looking at my art/ reading my thoughts, here's an extra little design edit & comparison
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(lol, I think they're mimicking Kyouya in this panel idek) (Also here you can see I tried the bun hairstyle w Mori, I think it looks good, but this is a really simple drawing so.)

Hey I got a request
So my request is that basically you and mason are dating and you go to a Chelsea match and you don’t know you are pregnant and you was having really bad stomach pains later turns out you in labour and next day you and mason had everyone round and everyone was like wow she is so cute hope that make sense x
Expect The Unexpected
You and Mason had danced a bit at a club one night, that's how you had met; and then a date in a quieter place a few days later had allowed you to talk and get to know each other better and all that had led to you dating.
So it's not uncommon to see you hanging around at a Chelsea game lately or sitting with his family as introductions were successfully made some time before.
And that's where you are when you start to feel a strange feeling, like stomach cramps. And at first you don't pay that much attention to it, assuming it's some symptom of your period, the atmosphere around you doesn't even give you time to allow yourself to do a few calculations to see if the date is actually approaching.
It's ten minutes to the end of the game when a twinge stronger than the others makes you literally bend over in your chair, attracting his mother's attention, who immediately turns to you concerned.
"I don't know... it just hurts" you almost gasp for breath, almost start to get seriously worried starting to think what it could be. It's not a normal pain, and at that point you don't even think it could be period cramps since you've never experienced such strong ones. You know something is wrong, you can feel it.
There's a bit of confusion, you manage to concentrate enough to hear Mason's mother ask a few more questions but not enough to answer them; at that point you're just wincing at the pain that doesn't want to seem to go away.
Mason had already been on the bench for a few minutes having been substituted around the hour mark and soon you find him at your side, panting slightly with a worried expression and one of his hands immediately clutching yours.
"How do you feel?"
"It hurts so bad" your eyes fill with tears and he strokes one cheek gently sighing, trying to stay as clear-headed as possible to really be helpful at that moment.
"Could it be your appendicitis?" he tries to look for a solution as someone from security approaches.
"No, I already had it removed a couple of years ago" you reply gritting your teeth, and frankly it hurt less you want to add but you can't.
"Okay you want to... ehm you want to go to the hospital?" and it's when you nod that he really seems to connect that this is something serious. On one of your many dates you had revealed to him about your fear of hospitals, that you would never want to set foot in one unless it was really really necessary. You always hesitated when it came to taking medication or something like that, trying to make everything pass as naturally as possible, but this time you almost didn't let him finish his sentence.
Mason snapped to his feet quickly then, his eyes locking with his mother's for a moment, before signalling to a security man who was approaching to wait. "Can you get up?"
"I don't know" Mason is always there to support you as you try to push yourself up on your legs and they almost give out for a moment. But you manage to stand, though bent in two from the pain you still feel, and after a moment of settling down he tries to get you to take a few steps.
"Mase I can't... the stairs"
"Okay we have to take the lift" and you don't have time to tell him it's far and you can't take it anymore that he picks you up bride-style and hurries down that corridor along with some security staff leading the way.
"Try to relax okay? It will be fine" he whispers to you when the lift doors have closed, as a few tears begin to roll down your cheeks more for what your head is beginning to imagine. And he doesn't let go of you, either standing in the lift or when you arrive in the car park tossing the keys to the guard and being careful as you get into the car not to bump your head.
"We're right behind you!" he hears his father yell before the door is closed and the car speeds away escorted by one of the police to avoid getting caught in the end-of-game traffic and gaining precious minutes.
-
He almost went crazy when they wanted to separate you, no way he would have stayed in the waiting room not knowing what was happening to you while you might have needed him. You had tried to explain to the doctor how you were feeling and where it hurt the most and when they had started talking about waiting and doing more detailed tests, they had finally made him stay.
The pain had never gone away or lessened in intensity and by then you didn't even know how much time had passed. The conviction that you had something serious was creeping into you more and more to the point that you had even tried to prepare Mason, to greet him in some way. And he had obviously shushed you, not wanting to hear any of this.
Shortly afterwards a doctor entered your room with a nurse and a machine in tow. "We're still waiting for the test results but in the meantime I just want to check something"
Mason returns to hold your hand after moving to the other side of the bed to allow the doctor to set up the machine, him making you lift your shirt and start pressing buttons to turn the machine on.
"It's a simple ultrasound" he lets you know before spreading some gel on your abdomen and starting to spread it with a scope.
"What are you looking for?"
"Okay (y/n) I have a question for you. Do you feel the need to push?" but your question is soon snubbed by the doctor's own question, who then turns to the nurse and asks her to call someone else.
"Why? What's going on?"
"(y/n) listen to me, there is a reason for all this. All you're feeling are contractions"
"What? - your gaze immediately seeks Mason's which mirrors your own - no it can't be. I am not pregnant. Look at me I'm not pregnant!"
"(y/n) hey, we'll have time to discuss this but right now the baby is coming. You have to be strong and push"
In an instant you are surrounded by doctors and nurses, you don't understand anything. It's all so fast, the doctor keeps encouraging you to push and to listen to your body and exhausted after a while you let go. No one has prepared you for all this, you are out of breath and have so many questions in your head that you simply cannot think.
"It's a girl"
The pain disappears as suddenly as it came, but the room fills with a wailing that becomes more and more persistent until it turns into a cry. You let go against the bed now dripping with sweat as the tears roll down your cheeks freely and the surreality of that moment sinks in.
"Mase" you whisper, looking for the boy watching the little creature being taken by a nurse with his eyes and mouth wide open.
"Would you like to hold her for a moment?" the nurse approaches with the little one wrapped in a cloth and your arms instinctively spread wide as tears still flow copiously down your cheeks.
"My god. My god (y/n)" you can't speak, it still all seems like a dream to you. One so vivid it feels real.
"Sorry, I have to take her with me now."
"What? Where-where are you taking her?"
"Just a routine check" and it's as if nothing has happened in the last ten minutes when the baby is taken from you, except inside you already have a different kind of worry.
-
"My birthday"
"Hm?"
"My birthday" you repeat as you see Mason get up from the chair he is in and approach you, "We might have conceived her that day"
"Weren't you asleep?" he asks with a smile on his lips, leaning down to leave a kiss on your forehead.
"It just crossed my mind"
"How are you feeling?"
"I probably need another three years of constant sleep" you sigh as he chuckles, leaving another kiss on your temple.
"I don't think we'll get them anytime soon"
"Did they say anything?"
"They should be coming to talk to us in a moment" your hand finds his, grazing it and causing him to shift his gaze to them.
"Sit with me"
"I don't want to hurt you"
"You won't. Please" after a hesitant moment he settles down beside you as gently as he can, hugging you awkwardly.
"Mase - the boy lowers his gaze finding your eyes already staring at him - do you think she's okay?"
"Good news always takes a little longer to arrive. Everything will be fine"
"It's just... how? I don't think I've fully realised what happened yet"
"You need the doctor for that, I know as much as you do"
"But we're going to make it right?"
"Together? Yeah of course" and that was what you wanted to hear at that moment, the reassurance that you wouldn't be alone in all that. "Maybe we need to speed up two or three things on our bucket list-"
"We have a bucket list?!"
"Sure. And anyway I was saying that no matter how crazy and scary this all sounds, together we'll get through this"
"Don't make me cry" you practically whisper on his lips before he brings them together in a tender kiss.
-
"I know you will certainly have questions, but I need you to answer mine first so that I can take action if needed"
"Is the baby okay?"
"With the various tests that have been conducted at the moment, we have found nothing to worry about. The baby was born full term but there was no pre-natal care, so you will understand that we need to take all the appropriate precautions" you lower your gaze as you can't help but feel guilty about that, Mason immediately finding your hand and squeezing it to give you confidence.
"Okay, be as honest as you can. No one's judging you, it's for your daughter's safety" you and Mason exchange a quick glance before paying full attention to the doctor, the worry that has once again risen overbearingly like a rock in the middle of your chest.
"Have you been drinking or smoking for the last nine months?"
"No I - you clear your throat running a hand through your hair - I don't particularly like to do either. Maybe a few drinks at a few gatherings but nothing excessive"
The doctor notes something on his pad before going on with another question and then another and another as you try to give each other a hand in remembering if there had been any important events to bring up in the last few months.
"Mason and I love running together so I've actually lost a few pounds lately. And my period has always been regular, nothing that really made me think about a pregnancy"
"It's called cryptic pregnancy, it's a rare condition but it can happen that a woman doesn't have any symptoms that connect to a pregnancy for the duration of it until she gives birth"
"And could it bring problems to the baby?"
"As I said at the moment we didn't find any. If all goes well in a few hours we will also be able to bring her to your room"
-
Mason takes one last look at the sleeping baby in your arms before pressing the call button. His mother doesn't take long to answer, he bets she's been holding the phone the whole time since he sent them off waiting for answers while they too searched for theirs.
"Mason, is there any news? How is (y/n)?"
"Mom gather everyone up, we have something to show you" he wanted to be serious but he's fighting with all the strength he has not to let out the huge smile he'd like to put on.
"Okay ready?" when he pulls the camera away framing all three the reactions are different, astonishment and confusion mostly.
"Mason where did you get that baby"
"It's a girl. It's our daughter" and finally that smile can make its way onto his face, excited and proud.
"Mason man, while you're in the hospital get yourself checked out okay?" you chuckle lightly at his brother's words leaning against Mason's shoulder, the baby stretching in her sleep and your gazes being caught by her.
"Oh my god she really is yours!" his mother coos excitedly, recognising that look in both of you; mesmerised by something bigger, looking at the little creature as if she were the first in the world to do certain things.
"Looks like we had a nice bun in the oven well hidden"
"It's beautiful. Oh guys, how are you?"
"Well grandma - you can swear his mother's eyes literally sparkled - the nurses were kind enough to give us this onesie, we're still in disbelief and mostly exhausted and -"
"And with so much to think about" you chime in.
"Tomorrow" Mason leaves a light kiss on your temple, tacitly reminding you of what you had briefly talked about earlier. 
"Yeah, tomorrow"
"Is there anything you need, that you want me to bring you?"
"The nurses have given us everything for the moment. I- um have no idea what we need honestly" you admit even a little embarrassed.
"I'll bring something then, for both of you when we come"
"Thank you" you smile gratefully at the woman knowing that right now you're going to need all the help and advice you can get from whoever is willing and able to give it to you.
After a few more glances at the girl you close the call, managing to convince them to wait at least until visiting hours the next day to show up everyone in there. You have no idea what to expect honestly.
"Tired?"
"Not mentally, but I know I'll collapse as soon as I rest my head on the pillow"
Mason smiles stroking one pf your cheek gently with the back of his hand, "How about some rest then mh? It's been a crazy day"
"Hmm just a little more" you murmur as a yawn betrays you.
"Alright"
"Can you take her?"
"Yeah sure" and you smile seeing the gentle way he settles her in his arms, making sure he's holding her as they showed him earlier and how he looks at her; absolutely captivated and completely off the grid.
"She-she looks like you"
"Oh stop it. She's not even twenty-four hours old you can't see similarities already"
"It is! I can see it" he argues, being careful not to raise his voice too much.
"Whatever"
"Oh I have to call Ben and Dec! They'll lose their minds I'm sure"
"Mason" you hint a laugh shaking your head as he is already waiting for the boys to pick up the facetime.
-
The next morning you and Mason have already been up and alert for a few hours when a knock on the door catches your attention, revealing family and friends with balloons and flowers and various bags.
"Oh boys what have you done?" emotional your eyes wander around as some are already starting to hug Mason.
"Where's the baby?" as is obvious the focus is all on the newcomer, everyone is aching to see her in person so Mason pushes her cot carefully towards the centre of the room to allow everyone enough space to admire her.
"Oh she's so cute. Is she all right?"
"Yes. All normal"
"And have you thought of a name yet?" his mom asks curiously.
"For the moment it's Mount, the only thing we're sure of. We have a few more days to think about the rest" just then the little girl stretches, opening her little eyes and making a group of adults melt like snow in the sun.
"Never seen a more beautiful little girl. Congratulations guys"
You look for Mason in the commotion and when your gazes meet a smile arises on your face, because this thing may have dropped out of the blue but you're sure that with him and all the people there in that room it will definitely be more sustainable.

I've revisited some of my old batman art seeing if I can improve both on style and design. I had this idea that Ivy should start off as a politician like Dent and I really liked the idea of her and Harvey being together, with eachother being a big part of the other's spiral into villainy. /// So here's the thought...Pam and Harvey are politicians who both want to see Gotham prosper though have different ideas of what that looks like, Pam thinks that by building more parks and public gardens they could start to pave a better future by making the city nicer for children as well as wanting to put out policies to control pollution. Harvey's approach to improving the city is by funding better education and social services to better empower the poor and put laws in place to protect workers. Both looking to tax the rich to fund these projects which get's the court of owl's attention. Both of them pay dearly for their views as Harvey gets kidnapped and tortured (half of his face is cut off) and he's given an options of either running away with Pam or doing exactly what they say if he doesn't want Pam hurt. Harvey tries to convince Pam to leave Gotham to drop it all and get away when they can. Pamela refuses after everything they've worked for and with Bruce backing them they're going to make Gotham a better place. Harvey tells her what really happened to him and why half his face is gone and why he thinks Gotham is a lost cause, hoping that it might be able to change her mind. Though the owls are watching and they take out Pamela for being too stubborn to leave and for knowing about them. When they take Pamela they murder her and dispose of her body in a swamp. Harvey knows Pam is missing though he's not sure if she dead or held hostage by the owls, all he knows is that it was likely his fault that she's gone. His paranoia of owls gets worse in her absence, without any way of communicating with them he has no way of knowing if he's doing right by them or if Pam can be saved if she's being kept as a bargaining chip. Harvey hates being made a pawn of the owls he wants to quit the political race but Bruce tells him he needs to keep at it, though he's not sure if he could trust Bruce or anyone for the possibility they might be an owl. So he choses to lock up a government building with a bunch of people trapped inside and set it on fire to eliminate any owls that might be there and to maybe see Pam again if she's already dead. When Pam is killed she is resurrected by swamp thing from there she's left confused, months (maybe little more than a year? idk) have passed since she was killed. She returns lost and confused and she goes to Bruce to figure out what happened since she was gone and Bruce turns her away at the door, so she's left to piece it all together herself.
She's heartbroken at the news that Harvey died in a fire and she makes it her goal to wipe out the people who hurt Harvey and killed her. She resents Bruce for being a bad friend and not looking out for Harvey when he needed him, believing that if he'd turn his back on her he must've done the same to Harvey while she was gone. /// I'm a big fan of the idea of villains starting off as normal to good people and then bad circumstances changing them. I don't like redeemable at all but resentful? vengeful? good stuff. I always felt like Harvey is kind of aimless after the transformation like the multipersonality bpd mr hyde takes over and that's it and Ivy just never had a legit evil motive other than "nature's great and men are trash" and her being paired with Quinn doesn't really do much for her character than making her "Harley's cute supportive not abusive lesbian girlfriend" Which no hate on gays but Ivy is really just an accessory to Harley's "men are trash I date girls now".

You never knew life could be this peaceful again.
With death looming around every corner, having peace of mind is a rare commodity these days, and it became even rarer after you’ve become an official pillar. Sighing to yourself, you crane your neck skyward, eyes gazing at the rays of sunshine filtering through the sakura pedals.
They say spring is a time of luck. Plants come back to life, little saplings breaking through layers of earth to greet the sun for the first time. Even animals celebrate a new year of life through some recreational activities.
You consider yourself lucky to some degree, surviving yet another year of hell. Life changed drastically after you joined the corps, even more so when you learned of your parents’ deaths. No, life hasn’t been graceful to you; it only holds false beauty, partial only to those who are innocent.
That…. You aren’t so lucky with.
To your side, Muichiro studies your profile, an unreadable glaze to his eyes. Out of your fellow pillars, he’s the most mysterious, hardly ever choosing to speak. When he does, however, it’s to berate others. It’s still a mystery how you managed to break through his icy exterior.
“You’re staring,” you murmur, not wanting to break the peaceful silence. In the distance, songbirds chatter, their voices carried through the gentle breeze. Chimes hanging from the manor’s ceilings tinkle.
“You think too much,” Muichiro is quick to say. You nearly flinch at the sharp edge of his words.
Looking to him, you flash him a small pout. “Muichiro…”
“Don’t,” he says, though this time he’s much softer. “Just… breathe.”
Your heart pounds harder than normal at his words. The hold he has on your hand tightens, his callouses rubbing against your own. He leans into you, head finding your shoulder as long strands of hair fall in his face. You watch as his eyes flutter shut, and guilt pangs your insides. Muichiro’s situation is no better than yours, and he underwent amnesia to boot. You doubt he’s had any time to truly rest.
From across the courtyard, the other pillars watch on as you lay your head upon Muichiro’s. Mitsuri whines her affection.
“Why do they have to be so cute?” She hastily wipes away her budding tears and clings onto Shinobu’s arm. “When will I have a love like that?”
Obanai coughs awkwardly into his fist.
“I wonder if we’ll get invited to the wedding!” Kyojuro comments. The others quickly shush him. “I wonder if we’ll get invited!” he says again but in a quieter tone.
“Will you move your rhino ass?” Sanemi hisses at Tengen. Between him and Gyomei, it’s amazing how they haven’t been spotted yet.
Tengen snorts as Sanemi shoves past him to catch a glimpse. “Vulgar language isn’t flamboyant! Watch your mouth and maybe you’ll catch a bride.”
To the side, Giyuu nods in agreement. “He has a point, you know. He has three.”
“Will you shut the fuck up?!”
“Tell me what they’re doing,” Gyomei pipes up.
“Cuddling,” the others reply in unison.
Nodding, Gyomei smiles despite a fresh stream of tears running down his cheeks. “My son… He’s grown.”
“Wait, your what?”
Muichiro grumbles under his breath. “Those idiots are watching, aren’t they?”
You hum. “Leave them be. They’re just wishing us a happy future marriage.”
Muichiro holds your hand even tighter. “…Good.”

Summary: Accidental confession of love, drunk style with Chuuya Nakahara
CW: Mentions of illegal activity, mafia people, mentions of violence/murder, alcohol and drunkenness
Pairings: Chuuya x Reader, Chuuya x Wine
Author's Note: I think this may be the longest fic yet.  As per the poll (which I had to delete as it wouldn’t let me edit it argh), Chuuya’s next.  I wanted to try my hand at the drunken confession of love trope because I think it’s super cute and what better person to write it with than our favourite wine-loving mafioso? :))))
Not proofread :P
Hope you guys like it.
Tumblr media
As long as you’d been in the mafia, you’d always ended a job by going to the bar. You needed something to take the edge off, especially after doing what you did for a living.  You didn’t drink to forget, it wasn’t like that, you just needed something to help you relax a little after the strain of your profession.
The Eden was a popular mafia haunt, close to the main headquarters and relatively free of normal civilians.  Aware of their frequent customers, the bartenders were discreet, never prying.  Plus, the drinks there were very good quality.  Usually, it was fairly quiet, allowing people to sit in their own thoughts, or have calm conversations.  Unless, of course, people were celebrating a particularly big job, or, a certain mafioso had had too much to drink.
It had been a quiet night when you had arrived at The Eden, having just come back from a job in the city of Osaka.  The job in question was attending a negotiation on behalf of the mafia, with a rival organisation.  The organisation had been causing the mafia more than a few inconveniences over the past few weeks, attempting to take some territory and establish themselves.  Keyword: attempting.  The group had so far been unsuccessful, but the Port Mafia’s resources were being wasted so you were sent to deal with it.  Your orders had been to try to negotiate a peace by absorbing the group, but, if that was a failure, to eradicate them. 
It had been a failure.  Not for lack of trying, though.  You really did try to get them to surrender, but to no avail.  So you spent the rest of the weekend getting rid of them.  A tedious task considering you had to find all the small bases the gang had all over the Osaka prefecture.  
So, as soon as you got back, you went straight to the bar.  Exhausted, you had sat down on a stool, hoping for a quiet night.  You ordered a drink.  You drank it all.  You ordered another.  As you raised the glass to your lips, your drinking was disrupted by a fellow mafioso sitting down next to you.
“(YYYYY/NNNNNN) hiiiiii,” the ginger man slurred, as he took a swig of the bottle of very expensive Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru.  He looked drunk out of his mind, completely pissed. You looked to the bartender for help.  He simply shrugged and started attending to the other customers, leaving you to deal with the inebriated executive, Chuuya Nakahara.
The two of you had been friends for a while now and, as such, it was often you who had to deal with his low alcohol tolerance.  Despite being from different factions, you working under Kouyou and Chuuya leading his own faction as an executive, the two of you managed to form an unlikely friendship, bonding over your mutual love of the drink.  You frequently met at the bar and, when you didn’t plan to meet up, you ended up bumping into each other anyway.
And that led you to where you are now. Seated next to Chuuya, who was clearly drunk as a skunk. Drunk Chuuya was never boring, but he was always a handful.  Sometimes he was an angry drunk (particularly when a certain bandaged idiot was mentioned), sometimes he was a sleepy drunk and sometimes, more often than not as of recent, he was a happy, excitable drunk.  He was like that tonight.
“You’re ba-” hic “back! It feels like aaaggggeeessssss since I’ve seen you”  He practically screamed in your face.  The people in The Eden barely even flinched, used to Chuuya’s outbursts and ‘merry’ state.  Even if they had been bothered by the fiery red-head, they would never dare stand against their superior, an incredibly powerful skill-user.  
“Yes, I’m back, but it’s only been 4 days since I’ve seen you Nakahara-san,” you responded curtly, formally, trying to calm him down.
“That is a REALLY long time.” Clearly, it didn’t work.  He didn’t even notice your formal tone or the fact you were not referring to him by his given name.
“I’m here now, though,” you offered, hoping to quiet him this time. 
“Yeah, I guess you are.” Chuuya smiled dreamily, eyes pointed not at you, but through you, his mind clearly elsewhere.  Suddenly, he became quiet.  Leaning in towards you, he rested his head on your shoulder.  “I missed you.”
That shocked you.  Chuuya was rarely vocal about his deeper emotions.  He could be openly angry all day long, but he was rarely so soft, so affectionate.  It threw you off, feelings you had been burying rising to the surface.  You admitted, if only to yourself, that you were quite fond of your drinking buddy.  Over the years, the two of you had become a source of comfort for one another and you could no longer deny the desire you had for him.  
You had learned to push those feelings aside in favour of not losing him as a friend.  Positive he did not like you in return, you were content being his friend, being a source of comfort for him as he was for you.  Besides, he was your superior, although not the one you worked under, which would mean that your relationship would be beyond complicated.
Yet you couldn’t stop your heart from racing at the tenderness in his voice.
“I missed you too Chuuya,” you replied in a similarly hushed tone, blood rushing to your cheeks as they exploded in a burst of crimson.
“Gah! You don’t get iiiitt!” The ginger wailed as he abruptly wrenched his head off of you, throwing it on the table in frustration.
What?
Confused, you took a minute to allow yourself to process his words.  Didn’t get what?  Was there something else you were supposed to be understanding? Or was the reaction just a result of his drunkenness?  It certainly seemed to be the case, considering the highly feared, highly respected executive of the Port Mafia was now throwing a tantrum, banging on the bar and mumbling nonsense.  He had become a toddler.
“Chuuya,” you started, again making an attempt to calm him down, “What’s wrong? What don’t I get?”
“It doesn’t matter anymore...” He slouched more, bringing the now-empty bottle of wine to his lips and blowing into it to make noises.  It seemed his frustrations had turned into a huff.  Chuuya was looking anywhere but at you.
“Chu, you’re clearly upset.  You have to tell me otherwise I won’t be able to help you.”  You brought your hand gently to his shoulder, thumb tenderly caressing it.  At this point, he was worrying you.  Not only had he never been this forthcoming with his emotions, you had never seen him this drunk either.  
“Forget I said anything. Doesn’t matter anyway.  I shouldn’t have said anything,” Chuuya whined, trying to bury his head further into the bar counter, still evading your gaze.  “You don’t care about me at all.”
That was it.  Time to cut him off and take him home and you told him as much. You called a car to take the two of you to his apartment. Although he protested, writhing out of your grasp any chance he could get, in the state he was in, he was too weak to put up any actual fight against you.  You knew he wouldn’t hurt you either, as you dragged him out of The Eden and practically shoved him into the backseat of the car before informing the driver of your desired location.  
The two of you sat in silence for the entirety of the ride.  Chuuya was sat, leaning towards the window, arms crossed, lips pouting, clearly still upset about getting set home.  You, on the other hand, could not take your eyes off of him.  He was clearly really upset, in a way you had not witnessed before, and you were unsure of what you could do to help.
The car came to a stop and, once again, you had to drag Chuuya all the way up to his lavish, extortionately priced apartment.  Once you got to the apartment, however, you faced a different problem.  While back at the bar and all throughout the car journey, Chuuya had been pushing you away, now he was reluctant to let go.
“Stay here.” His grip on you was iron, surprising you as moments before you were able to drag him about so easily.  The plan had been to leave once you had gotten Chuuya safely into his apartment, but now you felt the need to get to the bottom of his odd behaviour.  His erratic and odd actions were causing you to be frustrated now.
“What on earth is going on with you?” You raised your voice, probably a little louder than you should have, considering how drunk he was and how he winced at the volume of your words.  “I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what the problem is.  I know you’re upset and I know you’re not used to talking about this sort of thing, but we’ve been friends for a while now, right? You can talk to me about this, that’s what friends are f-”
“We’re not friends!” Your heart clenched at the words, not once did you imagine Chuuya ever being so cruel.  His eyes widened as he registered the shock and sorrow on your face.  “Wait, that’s not what I- I mean that I- I,” he struggled to get the words out, still clearly intoxicated.  “I just meant that I don’t want to be friends anymore.”
“Okay, if that’s what you want.” You meant it.  If that’s what would make him happy, you would learn to live without him.
Chuuya groaned beside you, banging his head against the wall.  “That’s not what I meant! GAH! Why don’t you get it? Why don’t you understannnd?” And he was back to whining like a child.
“Help me understand then.  Make me understand.” Suddenly, his lips were on yours.  It was sloppy and messy and he didn’t really get you exactly on the lips, but it was Chuuya and he was kissing you and your brain was pretty much no longer functioning.  He rested a hand on your waist, pulling you closer to him.  The other, he used to cup your face.  You rested your own hands on his shoulders, still dazed.  The two of you broke apart slowly.
“I don’t want to be friends anymore.”
Oh.
Oh.
It seemed you finally understood.  As you leaned into him closer, foreheads touching, gazing into his eyes, you let your arms wrap around his neck, holding him close.
“I don’t want to be friends either.”
