"of course i’m here. where else would i be?" for Xanlow?

"Of course I'm here. Where else would I be?" 1k, xanlow from this ask game

“Laslow?”

Xander is sitting atop his horse, taking a short trip around the riding grounds. He couldn’t stand the sight of his chambers anymore, of an empty bed and an unfilled silence. He took to his horse, not for comfort or relief, but only to make himself move forward.

Xander hasn’t slept. Exhaustion stings the back of his eyes and aches through his jaw. He wasn’t sober in the nighttime, though he is now, and he figures he ought to stay this way. He’s never had the time or luxury for grief. He only wishes his body would cooperate.

Laslow left him yesterday. He always said he might, that he has a home which expects him—but that it’s also a one-way trek. And it’s never been Xander’s intention to keep Laslow captive, and he’s told himself it may be better this way. But still, the warmth of Laslow’s hands have long left Xander’s skin, and there is nothing but void to replace it.

He didn’t leave in so many words. But it was unmistakably a farewell, one still fresh in Xander's mind. It hasn’t yet been long enough for him to recognize any regrets, even. Though he’s begun to feel them take form, brewing coldly in the back of his thoughts.

And as such, when Xander ran into Laslow while he was riding, he thought he was mistaken. A cruel but hopeful trick his imagination played, already longing for what’s far out of reach. Xander almost simply rode past—but as Laslow’s figure became more clear in the dark, Xander slowed his horse to a stop.

And sure enough, when Laslow turns around to the sound of Xander’s voice, those wide brown eyes are unmistakably his.

“Oh,” Laslow says, sitting on one of the low stone walls that outline the riding grounds. He twists farther around, swinging his legs to the inward side. “Milord. I—um. I was just trying to work up the nerve to go inside. But I—well. I can’t shake these jelly knees.”

Xander climbs down from his horse, not letting himself feel any relief. He wouldn't be able bear the weight of getting his hopes up, not now. And even if something begins to work its way into his throat, he calmly swallows it away. “You’re still here?”

Laslow gives a weak grin, if you could even call it that. It's hardly an upwards twitch of his features. “Of course I’m here,” he says feebly. “Where else would I be?”

Xander, now closer, can see the red in Laslow’s eyes. Not still wet, but bearing clear evidence of tears. “You don’t fool me,” Xander says flatly with a frown. “That was a goodbye, yesterday. What are you doing?”

“Ah.” Guilt creeps up Laslow’s expression. He shuffles his feet awkwardly in the dirt and grips the top of the stony wall tightly. And as his silence persists, Xander goes on.

“Why… Are you back?” Xander asks. Laslow’s face tightens, and he slowly begins to stand.

“I should go, shouldn’t I. I’m sorry, I—”

Xander strides to him and plants his hands on Laslow’s shoulders, sitting him back down before he may even stretch his legs. “That isn’t what I’m asking for,” Xander says, and Laslow shrugs into himself under the pressure of Xander’s palms. “Tell me—why did you return here. What happened?

Laslow licks his lips. And he stares down at one of Xander’s hands, still holding him steady.

“I… Threw my way home into a lake,” he says, with only a slight waver in his voice. “So. Unless it begins to drain, you may be stuck with me.”

Xander stares. He loosens his grip on Laslow, moving his hands from his shoulders down to his arms. “What?”

“Odin and Selena left. We were supposed to go together,” Laslow continues. He scowls down at his feet. “We had magic to use, you understand. Crystals to travel with, one use only. But I—well, I hesitated right at the last moment.” He gnaws the inside of his cheek with an irritation, eyes still away. “But they left. And I—I panicked, and I got frustrated, I was alone and I didn’t think. So… I threw mine into the lake we were by. Because I’m stupid. And—it seems I have a pretty good arm.”

Laslow’s distress looms over him like a blanket. Xander releases his grip and goes to sit beside him instead. “…Oh.”

Laslow nods. “I hope it’s okay I’m here. I don’t know where else I’d go.” He folds his arms tightly, closing himself off further. “You don’t have to take me back.”

Xander wraps an arm around Laslow regardless. They sit, for a moment, in silence. Holding him now, it truly begins to register in Xander that Laslow is here again. “You said you hesitated?”

Something begins to spill, and tears bulge over Laslow’s eyes. He gulps, and an ache comes out in his voice. “I… I kept thinking, um. Of you,” he begins, pinching his arms. “I didn’t know if I—if I was going to be able to love someone like I love you. If the way I’d love them would be anything compared to how I loved you. Love you.”

Laslow sucks in a breath, staring down at his knees. He sniffs, and some tears do begin to fall, dully wetting fabric and dotting his thighs.

“And I think—I’m more of a lover than anything else.”

Xander leans down and kisses him. Feels the warmth of his breath and the angular point of his chin as he presses back. Xander tries to savor every moment, in ways he never did before. And when he pulls away, Laslow lingers close.

“I’m sorry for saying goodbye,” Laslow says, just above a whisper. “Would it—would it be okay if I said hello, now?”

Xander gives a low and short hum. His kisses Laslow’s forehead, trying to relax into him, trying to take not a single moment of his presence for granted. He grazes his arm up Laslow’s back and rests on his neck, petting the hair on his nape.

“Hello,” Xander says, voice just as quiet. “Stay.”

[hyuckmov]

just came back to check on part 3 of rockstar!haechan but i read the tags on your most recent post, how are you doing? :(

anon thank u sm for caring 🫂

to share a bit more... it is kind of lame to say but i basically had my heart broken for real for the first time a few days into january. you guys can probably tell...but i think about love a lot, and love is something that is very very important to me, and in theory i've ruminated over so many different scenarios and outcomes surrounding love but i guess this was my first time really experiencing losing something for more...adult? mature? reasons. in theory 'right person wrong time' is something i'd love to watch on a screen or listen in lyrics or read in words, but when it actually happens and you're the one being left behind...i tried so hard to fight it but ultimately i just had to let it pass and feel it ache. the worst should be over, it's been three weeks and every day i can understand why things came to this and why this was the only outcome, but it still makes me feel really sad sometimes because i wish i still didn't understand. i know i sound like a kid 😭 wasn't in the headspace to do most anything (it was the worst possible time for this to have occured - my life was playing like a student film on breakups) and the moment i came back to school i was swamped with work (still am...) but i am feeling it less every day !

one thing i can say tho is that rockstar hyuck pt.3 will hurt because I GET IT even deeper now 🫂

Hi hi! Thank you for the ask!! Let me answer this for Tia, I miss my gremlin :')

She's a chronic perfectionist, what makes her stubborn and hard on herself. She doesn't like knowing something she did or created is below average quality 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tia's nearsighted! That's why she sometimes has her glasses on, some others not .

She dislikes onions just like her mother, but tolerates them in the sake of being ✨gourmet✨

[ash-and-starlight]

ash!! I see you often RIGHTFULLY get a lot of praise for your outfit designs, and I've been wondering if it's been a passion of yours for a long time and it you have any formal training in fashion? really the way you draw garments is exquisite

heyyy thank you oh my god this ask sent me into an Introspection Spiral djdhsj. drawing has been a passion of mine for as long as i remember, and since i guess i always strayed towards drawing people giving them nice clothes is something i always focused on? idk i just really like clothes in general, like,, they can show so much about a character’s personality and background!! it’s something i really like to focus on and i’d really love to study and improve on that in a more concept/character design way <333

#thANK YOU AGAINNNN OUHHDHGG #truly my art is just some guy but ur making it feel like the specialest girl on tumblr dot com thank you fkshdjkd #the only thing i’m trained in is graphic design lmaoo #it didn’t actually do much except giving me Opinions about fonts #u think the business card scene in american psycho is parody well it’s not that’s how i live #hell #ash replies

@caemthe asked :

🕯️ for cú and misaya uvu

send me 🕯️ to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character. || no longer accepting

─「美沙夜」─  one would think he had forgotten the promise he had made to her back when she was still human. the CHERUBIM didn't usually entertain the thoughts about the past. it felt like a long time ago as well as it just happened yesterday all at the same time. the days she spent with a shackle around her neck, and a countdown until her LIFE was no more. he was still waiting, she realized. misaya realized that very truth the moment she reopened her eyes as the VESSEL when she was first called upon. the way he rushed down to the summoning circle as though he had been waiting. why ? she didn't get it. or, perhaps, she did, but a part of her refused to come to terms with it even now.

                that she had summoned a servant who was LOYAL TO A FAULT. a servant who proved her wrong about her belief that servants would eventually betray their masters. a servant that refuse to give up on her.

                " what a stubborn pup. " she muttered to herself, words breaking the SILENCE between them yet the tone she carried was nothing of a COMPLAINT. there was a clear hint of tender affection others would not detect but the avenger knew that he would catch it. how was it that her words had bound him so deeply to her when she was sure he would be able to run free once she released him from the LEASH she had around his neck. those eyes when they looked at her, he looked as though he was telling her he would never fail her again.

                as though he spent CENTURIES beating himself up over the fact that he could not protect her. she cut him loose and instead of running off, he remained faithfully right where she left him, eyes still looking at HER. his master. she was and still is his master after all these years.

                misaya ran her fingers through his unruly hair.

                " you really are one of a kind. " her best hound yet.

gravity falls for the send me a fandom thing :3

thank you iota!!! <3 The first character I first fell in love with: dipper!! I know I'm basic, considering I keep answering main characters, but nerdy socially awkward and paranoid characters my beloved!! The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: hmmm... maybe pacifica? not only because she really did start as a stereotype, but also because I'm not a huge fan of both of the big ships for her. nonetheless, she is baby girl The character everyone else loves that I don’t: ... hmmmm. I don't think I have any? I don't think I really hate anyone. The character I love that everyone else hates: I don't know if I love him, but MORE GIDEON APPRECIATION. he's an underutilized character in the fandom!! also, she's definitely not universally hated, but I'm protecting mabel with my life The character I used to love but don’t any longer: n/a! The character I would totally smooch: looks at the two on my f/o list and sweats. other than the... controversial answer and the triangle demon, i'm giving stan and ford a big kiss <3 also the summerween trickster The character I’d want to be like: hmmm... I really admire wendy for her general chillness, and I'd love to be as smart as any of the pines. maybe mabel? It would be wild to be that outgoing and have that much energy for creative stuff :3 The character I’d slap: I love ford, but he can be a little irritating and hubris-filled (which is part of his charm!!!), so a little slap wouldn't hurt. I would slap bill, but I think he'd turn me inside out or something. probably pacifica's mom and dad, then? A pairing that I love: billdip, a ship I've been obsessed with for... 9 years??? disappears into pile of ash. other than that, any kind of pinecest (the classic mabel/dip, the stancest, the intergenerational stuff...). A pairing that I despise: I don't despise any, but I'm definitely not too fond of dip/pacifica, both because it just isn't my thing, and memories of interactions with the shippers XD

LOOSE SALUTE!!!!!! Snatched off eBay in a frenzy since it's super hard to find here in jolly north england innit. It's in extremely good condition save for being notched (indicating it was thrown in a bargain bin somewhere which needless to say is a travesty) and very slightly warped. It sounds like new in comparison to some of my more pre-loved albums, and looks it too! It's about to be very, very loved thankfully (and very cared for too i promise) :3

#THANK YOU AGAINNNN AMBER !!!!!!! #i can give a good guess as to why its warped even if not much. but also the sun wasnt like full-on hitting it so who really knows #<- stage 1: denial #rolling record review
