secrets preview by Natatat
Cameron was a guy I dated. He was just soft on all accounts. I hugged him and could feel that dough. He was handsome. He overate on our first date. After dinner we made out in his car and I squeezed his stomach as I kissed him.
“Did you eat before as well?”
He turned red. And tried to deny it. I pressed him until he admitted that he had been nervous and had eaten a lot before even eating the two huge burgers, the duck fries, truffle fries, s’mores brownie pie, two ipas and a coke. Plus my leftovers.
“I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry? I kinda like having something to hold on to.”
He had then stopped sucking in. His overfed belly spilled out a little over his belt.
“Can I feed you?” I had no idea why I was so forward.
“Right now?” He seemed surprised. I started tracing circles along his lower belly eliciting a slight moan from him. “Ugh you are going to make me cum in my pants.” He basically growled in my ear.
“Can you eat more for me?”
“Donuts. I can eat donuts.” We bought a box of chocolate donuts and some milk too from the store and drove to a secluded spot. I fed him the first one and then another. They were dense and filling. After the first two he drank some milk.
“How are you okay with this?” I reached to undo his belt while he answered.
“Well I have insanely sexy girl feeding me donuts and caressing me and ahhhhhh that’s so much uggggh owwww.” I had just tightened his belt. And then straddling him I brought a donut to his lips.
“There much better. Now what were you saying?”
“I have a sexy kinky girl feeding me donuts sitting in my lap and touching me. Why would I have a problem with that?” He ate the donut in one go grimacing as the belt tightened.
“Here let me fix this.” I lifted his belly so that he now had the belt under his small stuffed belly. “There we go big boy” I gave him the milk.
“Ahhh. Oh my god these are tight.”
“They aren’t tight enough.” I fed him a 5th donut. And then milk and pressed myself against his belly and flicked my tongue in his ear.
“Oh god no no no, too tight.”
“Your pants getting tighter.”
“Yes now for two reasons.”
“Really?” I pressed myself against him. I didn’t really need to press that hard as his belly was pressing into me the more I fed him.
“I can’t.” I fed him another and bit his neck lightly. “Mmmmmmmm.” I bit his ear.
“Such a sensitive one. When’s the last time someone touched you?” I fed him another.
“Aggghh milk please.” I handed it to him. “Gulp gulp. About a year ago.” I pressed against him getting him to moan in pain. “How many are left?”
“Hmmm 7 I believe.” He groaned and moaned.
“The belt is too much.” I leaned into him my cleavage in his face.
“Do you like it when I do this?” I asked as I swirled my tongue in his ear. He moaned loudly. I put another donut in his face.
“Mhhmmmmmmm.” He nodded his head furiously while squirming against me.
“I like the belt,” I whispered in his ear. “I like pain.” I stuck my fingers in my pussy and let him smell.
“Oh god!” He licked my fingers greedily. “More.”
“You have to eat more if you want more.” I picked up another donut. “Only a few left.” He crammed the donut in his mouth and washed it down. He did this till he fished and then drained the milk.
“Mmmmmm good boy. How’s it feel?”
“Ughhhh urrrp tight.” He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. “You feel that? My belly is so stuffed. Uggh it’s so tight.”
“Yeah? How tight?”
“I need to undo it. I can’t take it.” He tried to undo it. “I can’t get it off.”
“Haha oh well I guess you are trapped.”
“What no? Please help? I can’t handle it.”
“Okay big boy suck it in.”
“I don’t think I can.”
“Well then I guess you just have to suffer.” He whimpered and moaned as I teased him and tortured him.
“Please” I finally got it off of him.
“Oooooo ahhhh mmmmmm that feels good.” His belly surged out and pressed against me. “Such a big greedy boy.”
“Can I tell you something?”
“Sure.”
“I like being dominated.”
“I know.”
Date 3:
We went to the beach and He was practically drooling over me. His board shorts kept coming undone. I heard it rather than saw it. I kept hearing the velcro. He went red. He confessed that he had been trying to lose weight for a while but any time he dieted he caved the second he craved junk food and he would just stuff his face till he passed out.
“I have an idea on how to help.”
“Yeah what’s your idea?”
“Well you say you crave these foods. What if you never wanted to eat them again?”
“That would make it easy to eat healthy”
“Well what are you craving right now?”
“McDonald’s!” I laughed. He turned red.
“Did you already have McDonald’s today? Cause you smell like the fries.”
“I mean maybe a little. But I want more.”
“Okay then here is my plan. From now until New Years when you crave something you will stuff yourself with it and then I will feed you even more of it until you never want to see it again.”
“But won’t I get fat and really unhealthy? Also what if it doesn’t work?”
“You are going to exercise too and eat healthy food. This is just when you are about to cave. It might eliminate the temptations.”
“Okay lets do it.” He got up and put his shirt on. “McDonald’s here we come.” We got into his car and drove. In the car I found a receipt from that morning from McDonald’s $30 spent. I looked over at his belly spilling over and out of the flaps of his board shorts. I decided to not mention the receipt.
“You can’t have your pants open right now.”
“Well I can’t get them to stay.”
“Suck in.” I did up the velcro and tied the shorts tight. “There”
“Ugh I feel fat.” I poked his roll. “Well you said you wanted McDonald’s so just enjoy yourself. I know I will.” I stuck my tongue in his ear putting my hand on his crotch and then stroking the underbelly his tight shorts created. “I want you to stuff yourself. I am going to enjoy you eating yourself into a food coma and then feeding you more while teasing you. Maybe you will even get cookie.” His eyes lit up and his crotch twitched.
“Hi uh can I get one of everything.” Cameron burned with embarrassment as the lady handed him all of his food.
“Cameron can you actually eat all this?” I was shocked.
“Maybe, can you put the cold stuff in the fridge.” He turned on the TV and started eating.

(everything is made up including names, family members and text messages)
_________________________________________________________
you look at the message from vinnie and smile.
"what are you so smiley about y/n?" you mom says in a jokingly way
"she met a boy at the ice cream shop" jack says sounding annoyed
"soooo whats his name, is he cute, how old is he, where does he live, i wanna know everything"
your mom has always been a little nosey when it comes to boys, especially ones that make you smile.
"mommmmmm" you say
"oh come on i just wanna know"
"okay fine" you give in "his names vinnie and he lives next door, he came into the ice cream shop while we were waiting and he complimented me on my ice cream choice"
your mom laughs and says; "he seems like a very sweet boy, why dont you invite him and his family over for dinner tomorrow?"
"we arent moved in fully yet mom" jack interrupts
"oh vinnie offered to come over tomorrow and help move stuff in, you can invite him and his family over for dinner when hes here if you want to"
your mom sits and thinks about it for a second. she's never liked asking for help "you know we could use the extra hands, if you want to text him and see if hes willing to come over around 10 and help unload boxes that would be wonderful. i'll make lunch too depending on how long it takes"
"YES!" you scream in excitement, "i'll text him right now and see if he can. love you mom!"
you run upstairs and let out a squeal. you where so excited to see your dream boy again.
you text vinnie and throw your phone on your bed.
"oh shoot!" you yelled. "if he does come over i have to clean my room i can have it look like this." you look down at your floor and see all the laundry scattered everywhere.
"im such a mess"
you put on your favorite playlist and start dancing while you clean your room.
*BZZ*
"mom! he said hes coming over tomorrow!"
"sounds good!"
you keep cleaning your room but eventually fall asleep because you had a long day today.
when you woke up you checked the time.
"ITS 10:45??"
your alarm never went off causing you to over sleep.
"i havent showered, i havent gotten ready, i havent done anything! and my room still isnt clean UGHHHH!"
you quickly throw on a pair of pajama bottoms and a crop top you found in your closet, you put dry shampoo in and throw your hair into a bun.
you grabbed your glasses and run down stairs.
"well good morning sleeping beauty" vinnie says to you staring at you.
"OMG YOU'RE HERE!"
"yeah you told me to come over... your mom is an amazing lady i must say, i also didnt know you wore glasses"
"MY GLASSES NOOOO!" you panic realizing you didnt have time to put your contacts in
"calm down its okay y/n. i like them." vinnie smiles at you.
"his smile is so pretty, and his eyes, wow." you think to yourself.
"y/n?" your mom says
"huh?"
"you okay? you zoned out for a second"
"OH yeah no im great." you realize you zoned out while staring at vinnie who was in a white tank top and is wearing a baseball cap. you couldnt stop yourself from starring.
"hey mom.." jack says "i found this in with the books"
you look at jack and realize hes holding your old bra
"JACK THATS MINE STOP" you gasp. oh boy that's embarrassing.
vinnie starts laughing and looks at you.
"stop laughing"
you're so embarrassed that he just saw that.
"dont worry y/n its okay. my dog had my boxers on her head after she went snooping in my room."
you can't help but to laugh a little.
the thought of seeing his dog with his boxers on her head is something you would pay to see.
"alright so is there anything else you would like me to move Mrs. Anderson?" vinnie asks your mom
"i dont believe so unless y/n or jack has anything to move" your mom looks at you and your brother waiting for a response.
jack breaks the silence and goes "nope, i think everything is in my room already."
"y/n do you have anything you need help unpacking or anything?" he looks at you and his eyes are this beautiful chocolate brown color.
"yeah i do actually."
vinnie and you head up to your room
"im sorry its such a mess i was trying to clean it last night but i must have fell asleep."
"don't worry about it, my room is way worse than this"
he reaches for a magazine he sees and giggles
"whats so funny? HEY PUT THAT DOWN!"
he laughs and sets it back down
"you know i think its cute."
"whats cute?'
"you, everything about you."
you roll your eyes and smile
"you're dumb Mr. Hacker, but you're cute as well"
"thank you Ms. Hacker."
"what did you say?"
"huh? nothing, anyways is that all you wanted me to help with?"
"yeah thats it thank you."
vinnie walks downstairs and you follow.
your mom is in the kitchen with your brother.
"oh vinnie before you leave, would you and your family like to come over for dinner tonight?" vinnie looks at you and then at your mom.
"i think they would be delighted to come over for dinner tonight Mrs. Anderson, i'll text them right now."
you go into the living room to watch some tv. vinnie follows and sits next to you.
*BZZ*
vinnies phone goes off
"they said they would love to come over, do you have a time in mind on when they should come over?"
"does 7:30 work?"
"that will work just fine."
looking at the time you realize you and vinnie have spent 5 hours together already.
"i should probably get heading home, i have to shower and get ready for dinner tonight, see you then everyone!" he kisses your cheek and heads out the door.
"bye vinnie see you tonight!" your mom and brother exclaim
"what a sweet boy" mom says
*4 hours later, 7:00 PM*
"Vinnie and his family will be over in 30 mins please make sure everything is ready and make sure you guys are ready aswell"
your mom has always been one to make sure everything and everyone looks good before any guest come over.
the door bell rings.
"y/n!! can you please get the door?"
you rush downstairs and open the door.
"hey y/n, wow you look good"
you curled your hair, put makeup on, and are wearing your nice fancy dress.
"hey vin i could say the same thing about you."
both of you are dressed up very nicely. he's wearing his blue suit and has his shirt buttoned down showing chest tattoo.
something about his tattoos drive you insane. you love them.
he introduces his family to yours
"i never knew you had a twin brothers." you say as your brother and his run off to the backyard.
"yeah they are a real pain in the ass"
"i know what that's like"
the two of you laugh
"this is a beautiful house you have jackie and you have 2 beautiful children as well" vinnies mom says to yours
"well thank you sandy im very blessed with what i have gotten in life, your 3 boys are such angels especially vinnie here. hes been very helpful today and i really appreciate it."
he smiles at your mom and then at you
"dinner was amazing, thank you for inviting us over and introducing us to your family, we are going to have a bbq here this weekend if you guys want to join." vinnies dad offers
"we will be there"
"awesome, well we best get going its late and we both have work in the morning, thank you again."

So I decided I would participate in Holiday Hearts...not a writer.....sooooo this isn’t great 😅
The Perfec Present
☆Pairing: Sunghoon X Reader
☆Genre: Holiday, Fluff....?
☆Warnings: None
☆Synopsis: What is the perfect present?
Written by Admin Anna🦦
—————————————
“Ughhhh...” you groaned. “What am I gonna do?” You slumped down in the booth you were sitting in. You and Sunghoon had been dating for about eleven months. Now that December was here, it was your first Christmas as a couple. You wanted it to be perfect. Right now you were at a café with Jake hoping he could give you some ideas.
“Y/n, you know Sunghoon’s gonna like whatever you get him.” Jake stated, sitting across from you. “What did you get him for his birthday?” Jake sipped his drink.
“We spend the day at the ice rink, but I can’t do that every time.” Jake laughed, he knew how uncoordinated you were and the thought of you trying to ice skate was hilarious, “How did that go?” You rolled your eyes, “Not terrible....only three injuries....” Suddenly, Jake’s phone went off making the two of you jump, “Hey I gotta get to practice, but don’t worry about it too much. He’ll love anything. I promise.”
You sighed. How could you not worry. Christmas was one week away and you had nothing. Later that day, Sunghoon had texted you to come over to the dorm. As you headed up the door, you heard yelling. You raised your hand to knock. The door opened to an red faced Heeseung. “Hi Y/n” he smiled, “Jake, you can’t just come to my island and steal my flowers!” Heeseung yelled as he stormed back to the kitchen.
“There’s my love” Sunghoon engulfed you in a hug. “Hi, hoonie.” You gave him a peck on the cheek. The two of you spent the time lying on the couch watching Christmas movies. You were kind of getting distracted by thinking about what you were gonna get him. “Hey, lovey....what you want for Christmas?” You looked up playing with his hair. He smiled, “I don’t need anything.”
You straightened, “Seriously, tell me.” He pouted, “Don’t worry about it, just stay and cuddle pwease...” You sighed. Obviously you weren’t getting anywhere and you couldn’t resist his puppy eyes. You were just gonna have to come up with something.
When you got home, you looked up couple gifts on the internet. You saw a bunch of cute ideas like a necklace where you look in the heart and there is a picture of you two or a film roll with photos. But all of those you had to order and they would come too late. You knew Sunghoon wouldn’t want something he could get himself. Sunghoon liked sentimental gifts that had meaning.
What would be meaningful...? That’s when it hit you. Your first date with him. You two had gone on a picnic, even though it was January. It was an inside joke between you guys. You decided to paint the scene of your first date. You weren’t an artist, but you could try. You didn’t want to make it too big, since he lived in the dorm. You went to the art store and got a small canvas, one he could fit on his dresser and some water colors. You thought they would be easier and less messy than acrylic paint.
You headed over to the lake so you get a better visual. You remember how cold it was, but you were too busy having the time of your life. You started painting the water. You felt the cold air brush your face. You looked around, there weren’t many others around. Just a person walking their dog and a couple sitting on a bench. When you were done, you looked at it. You did better than you thought you would, but you knew you didn’t have a future in art.
On Christmas Day, you woke up the sun shining through the curtains. You started to stretch and ended up hitting Sunghoon in the face. You had slept over, since they wanted to open presents all together in pajamas. Sunghoon groaned, “Well...good morning.” He rubbed his eyes, “Getting hit in the face in one way to wake up.” He chuckled.
All of sudden, Sunoo shot up, “GUYS! WAKE UP ITS CHRISTMAS!” Niki took a pillow and threw it in his face, “Shut up....it’s eight am...” Sunoo huffed, “I would like to point out...you’re in MY BED!” “Both of you shhhhhhh!” Jay groaned.
Even though it was early, you wanted to give Sunghoon his gift in private. Mostly because it was special. You got up and took his hand, “Come on” He gave you a confused look, “Why are we getting up so early? All the other guys are still asleep...”
“Because it’s our first Christmas and I want to give you your present just one on one.” He smiled. He thought it was cute how much you cared. You two sat down on the couch. You went to the tree and crouched down and got his present. You walked back to the couch and handed him the box. “Okay, before you open it, I just wanna say...I’m sorry if you don’t like it.” Sunghoon rolled his eyes playfully, “I will love anything.”
He tore the wrapping paper and opened the box. He was speechless. Sunghoon knew exactly what you had painted. He didn’t say anything, so you assumed he didn’t like it. “I can get you something else.” He look at you with his beautiful deep chocolate eyes. Sunghoon took your hands in his, “This is the best gift, I am going to treasure it forever.” You smiled. “I love this so much, Y/n that day is one I will treasure forever because it was the day you became mine.” You cupped his face and leaned in. His lips were soft and perfect.
“I was really worried about what to get you.” You admitted. “Y/n, your love is the best gift I could ever get.” He leaned in and put his forehead to yours. You two heard shuffling from the bedroom and saw a sleepy Jungwon, “Get a room.”

Masklophobia: Chapter 6
Karl's Paradise- 02x04: My Webby Valentine
Now onto the 4th episode of the 2nd season. It's a... ...god damn Valentine's Day special. As you can tell by the title. Anyways, let's dive right in, shall we?
The episode begins with that hillbilly lizard, who's at the start of every episode, taking a nap by the "Welcome to the Paradise" sign. He then awakens, yawns, then a cartoon bee flew into his mouth. He choked for a while, then eventually spat it out. Next, the show pans to the Paradise town, festive in Valentine's Day decorations. We witness a lot of heteronormativity coming from the stock puppet characters. After that, we cut to the Paradise Critters.
More random puppet characters are fishing by the lake, when Fins popped up, holding a bouquet of roses, saying "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! *Chuckles*" The fisher puppets come to take a closer look at the roses, and sniff them, but then water had sprayed out. She laughed, then presented them with real roses as a "No hard feelings" apology.
Cut to Junior; He was in school, where his classmates were having a card exchange. A female student (named Shirley) was two seats away from him. Shirley was a dog puppet, with pigtail like ears, and she appeared to be checking Junior out. Ughhhh, forced romance on eight year-olds. She stared at Junior as she watched him sort through his box of cards, just carelessly shuffling and making himself a mess. The mammoth stopped as he picked something up: Chocolate candies with a card attached. Shirley seemed to be fullfilled, implying that it came from her. Unfortunately, Junior crumbled up the card, tossed it aside, then ate the candies. Shirley was left heartbroken. "Boys..."
We then now cut to the Happy Belly Diner. Yum-Yum was placing a bunch of Valentines Day treats, including a punch bowl, on the counter. Barkstone and Saxxo stared in awe. Mama LongLegs was in the background, hovering over a bowl of soup. Back to Yum-Yum, she said that King Karl had chosen her to be the caterer for this year's Valentine's Day ballroom party. She let Saxxo have a sample of one of them. After trying one, he commented with glee.
"Mmm, mmm mmm! This some hearty, heart filled goodness right here, Yums! Although... Maybe ah should try another batch-"
"Don't you dare, honey! These are for the Lovers Ball! But... ...if you're still hungry, I whipped you up a special Valentine gift."
Yum-Yum presented Saxxo with a small gift box. Inside the box were Valentine's Day sugar cookies, shaped like hearts.
"Aw, mama, this awfully SWEET of you. Wish ah had the time to make you somethin'."
"No need for that. Just keep up with them soothin', jim-dandy melodies."
"Oh! Perhaps ah can treat you to a personal, live performance. You gonna dig this tune! Ah wrote it specially for the Lovers Ball!"
"Interesting. Do you have a name for it?" Asked Barkstone.
"Yes indeedy, man! It's called 'Gonna Take Super Sticky Glue To Keep Me Close To You!'"
While Saxxo played some smooth jazz on his saxophone, the next segment transitioned. It was a beautiful, pencil drawn animation, with a harp score, about a cupid helping a sad, lonely boy cheer up by hooking him up with a girl. ... Apparently, romance is the key to find happiness. Good animation. Bad message.
We're back to the Happy Belly Diner scene, except it's filmed from the outside, with Van Goose coming up. Before she enters the diner, she ran into Mama LongLegs coming out.
"Hahppy Vahlentine's day, Meess LahngLegs!"
"Ohhhh, *Stomps foot down* bah humbug!"
The spider storms away angrily, leaving Van Goose confused. As she entered, Saxxo stops and greets the bird.
"Ees eet just me, or ees LahngLegs up een seex ahrms?"
"Mm. It ain't just you, babeh. She has been quiet around this room, sittin' all by herself while lookin' so gloom." Said Saxxo.
"I'll say. She ordered herself some soup, and told me to hold the fly." Said Yum-Yum.
"Fortunately, there is a basis behind this tale. The poor lady arachnid is faced with another lonely episode on the most romantic day of the year! The day where she once believed she had a chance to find the love she's been yearning for, but now accepted the fact that it would just turn out the same dull way as always. Well, it's not her fault for being so unattractive." Said Barkstone.
Saxxo and Yum-Yum both smacked the blue dog for that last statement. The four fell into a discussion on how they wanted to cheer Mama LongLegs up. Barkstone suggested that they let her be. Yum-Yum suggested that they find a man for her, who won't be repulsed by her looks. (Maybe a literal blind date) Saxxo suggested they each give her a gift to make her feel better. Suddenly, a lightbulb appeared over Van Goose's head, indicating that she had an idea.
We pan to the outside of LongLegs's cottage, then inside of her cottage, where we find her knitting webs. She made herself a sweater, complained about how ugly it looked, then dealt with the fact that she might as well wear an ugly sweater, since she would never catch true love anyways. The doorbell rang. LongLegs threw her sweater on the floor, then marched angrily to answer the door.
"Can't a lady go through an emotional state in peace?!"
Nobody was there. Well, something was there. On her doorstep, there was a basket, which contents were a bouquet of flowers, a heart shaped box, and an envelope sealed off with a heart sticker. She took the basket inside. The flowers were an assortment of different colors and varieties, and smelled like a breezy garden. Inside the box were chocolate covered grasshoppers. They looked yummy, and tasted like they came from an expensive candy store. The letter was a romantic poem.
"Each passing day and each passing night, I wish I could keep you in my sight. With your stellar talent, I knew you had broke the mold. All six arms of yours I wish to hold. Let's reprise Miss Muffet, add in a little twist. Whereas instead of running away, it ends with a kiss. You are the spice providing the flavor. I'd like to meet you sometime later. With love... ...your secret admirer."
Mama LongLegs was so delighted, she began to break into song. I am not gonna recite it for you. It's pretty forgettable. Anyways, it was about her wondering what her secret admirer is like. Is he tall, short, fair, or dark? Is he slender, or a brawny champ? Is he an elegant duke, or a wild bad boy? Throughout the song, we are taken into her cartoon visualizations. She imagined her man to be another spider of some sort. Marvel Comics' Spider-Man was deemed the "brawny champ" of the song.
"I don't know what he is, or what he looks like. All I know is that I finally found someone who admires me deeply. Wait, 'I'd like to meet you sometime later.' *Happily squeals* Ohhh boy! Ohhh girl! I betcha he'll be there at the Lovers Ball! Oh, but what shall I wear? I can't be seen in this old thing on a special night like this! How's my breath?! My hair is way too uptight!"
Meanwhile, watching from the window outside;
"'I'd like to meet you sahmetime lahtair?' ees zat whaht we wahnted hare to believe?!" Van Goose snapped.
"I'm sorry, babeh. Ah was runnin' low on time to tell a rhyme, so ah improvised. Is that a crime?" Saxxo replied.
"What if we just tell her that the Lovers Ball is probably not the time her secret admirer had in mind?" Asked Yum-Yum.
"Because zen she'd question us on how we knew zat hare secret ahdmeerair wahnted to meet hare sahmetime lahtair. eet just gives eet ahll ahway."
"You have a good point. What do we do now?"
Unfortunately for Barkstone, he had plans.
"I'd love to help you untangle out of this WEB, but I have to get ready for the Lovers Ball tonight. I have a date with a purebred Maltese!"
The magician dog disappeared in a puff of smoke. The three other Critters coughed, and started fanning away the smoke.
"Why, I don't believe him! There's only five hours away till the ball, and he just gave us the bum's rush! Boy am I surprised he managed to land himself a date."
Yum-Yum's complaint gave Van Goose a new idea.
"I sink I cahme up weeth a new nahtion!"
"Sink is right. We sure sunk."
"No, Saxxo, no! Sink! Sink! Idea! I mean I've gaht a new plahn!"
"New plan? Well, why didn't ya say so? Lay it on us!"
"You see: LahngLegs ees hahpeeng fahr hare secret ahdmeerair to be ze perfect mahn, right? Hut whaht eef we try to cahnveence hare zat he's naht whaht she'd expect?"
Yum-Yum and Saxxo liked the plan, and they slapped both of Van Goose's wings a high-five. We cut to the next skit, where it's a humorous cartoon that tells the tale about animals "expressing their love" in different ways than humans. I'm pretty sure that's what animals do before they mate. Of course, kid shows shouldn't let kiddies know that the animals fuck.
Now we're down to the LabRat segment. Same opening with the eerie enterance and organ music, blah blah blah. Pan to LabRat. It appears he is working on one of those chemical setups. I don't know science, sorry. All the chemicals are then transferred into this cologne bottle, then the rat seals it. Eger appears, and he has a potted flower on his head for no reason.
"Hello, master!"
"Why hi, Eger. How has- Eger, you have a potted flower on your head."
"Ohhhhh, that's funny! So do I! Anyways; Happy Valentine's Day, master!"
Eger gives LabRat a Valentine card, where it said "You blinded me with science."
"Awwwwww, Eger, you shouldn't have. Really."
"So, what did you get me?"
LabRat panicked for a moment, and searched around his labcoat to find something. He then pointed to a fake distraction so that Eger would turn his head. LabRat grabbed the potted flower, and gave it to him.
"It's lovely! Now I have a match for the one on my head! So, what have you been cooking up, master?"
"Oh, it's a device that will put an end to all loneliness."
"An ever-lasting pet rock?"
"No! Even better! *Turns the bottle around to reveal the labled name* A love potion!"
"Love potion? Love potion, master?"
"Yes, love potion! By just applying a small dose of this highly concentrated pheromone, the scent will lure in the love of your life!"
"Master, I don't think it's a good idea to force love on someone like that. Love takes time."
"Love takes forever. (Or in my highschool case, love takes never)"
"But master, it doesn't sound right! Love is too precious to mess with! A girl has a life of her own, you know? Why not just use the basic steps to winning the female species?"
Damn, this is probably the only time Eger had some decent sense. Also, I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear the term "female species." Eger then brought out a presentation board with all the steps.
"Try being nice to her, like she were a person like you. Talk to each other to find out what you like in one another. Give her some pretty flowers. Then that's it! You don't need no stinkin' love potion."
"You have pointed out some very good details, Eger. But with my pride, the heck with it! I need a date to the Lovers Ball!"
Dismissing Eger's advice, LabRat told his assistant to stand by the door. He dabbed himself with the love potion, only at his arms and behind one of his ears. Then he told Eger to release the test subjects. Eger opened the door, to let in a couple of female puppet characters. If they were standing outside of the cellar this whole time, how come we didn't see them in the segment's intro? LabRat freshened his breath with breath spray and he put on a bowtie.
One of them approached the rat. Instead of giving him affection, she slapped him across the face. Another one came over, and stomped on his foot. The third one pushed him over. Finally, they all joined together for a good rat beating. Can't say he didn't deserve it. When they were done, the ladies exited the cellar in disgust. We pan to LabRat lying belly down on the floor. Eger hovered over him. When LabRat asked Eger to help him up, he just hit him on the snout.
"Bad master!"
Eger left to join the ladies, leaving LabRat alone in his lab. Groaning in pain, the rat picked himself up, using the nearby counter for support.
"Ya know, I've truly learned something from all of this."
You may think he has learned his lesson on not to probe a woman's feelings, but no, he decided to relabel his new invention as "hate potion."
The last animated skit of the episode, we watch yet another lovely animation (stop motion) about candy hearts forming the word "Valentine," then into a beating heart. We then transition to the night scene, outside of the Lovers Ball. Pan to inside, everyone is having a ball. Dancing with their partners, eating, drinking punch. Saxxo was performing on stage. Slouch was the security, but currently sleeping on the job.
Barkstone was wearing a black tuxedo, Yum-Yum wore a skirt and some jewerly, Saxxo wore a sequin suit, Van Goose wore a white tuxedo top, and Mama LongLegs had a red dress, pearl necklace, and her hair tied in a ponytail. Speaking of Mama LongLegs, she was sitting at a table for two, all by herself. Van Goose was at the buffet table, getting herself some punch, while watching the poor spider await for her Prince Charming. A pig puppet approached her table.
"Is this seat taken, ma'am?"
"Yes!"
"By who?"
"My dreamboat, that's who!"
"Where is he?"
"He'll be here, eventually!"
"Has he arrived yet?"
"No, but he will!"
"Mind if I warm up this chair for him while you wait?"
"TO THE MOON, PORKCHOPS!"
Mama LongLegs raised her voice, causing the pig to scurry. Van Goose went over to Yum-Yum, who brought over another tray of hors d'oeuvres, and told her to act now. The bear came up to LongLegs' table, helping herself to a seat. LongLegs was confused at first, because she was expecting a man.
"Hey, LongLegs. How have you been, hun?"
"Ahhh, I've been doing fabulous now that I've found love on this day to celebrate! Heeheehee. Now please get out of that chair before he gets here and thinks I gave his seat away."
"Oh, you met someone? I'm very happy for you! What's this fella like?"
"Well, we didn't exactly met, but we're expecting to meet here, at the Lovers Ball. He implied it in the letter he sent me. *Gives letter to Yum-Yum* Along with some chocolate covered grasshoppers and fragrant flowers. Now, may you pardon yourself-"
"*Pretends to read note* Oh my goodness. Uh-uh, oh my goodness. Tsk tsk tsk."
"What is it?"
"Hun, I think I recognize this handwriting. I don't know his name in particular, but I do know who this came from. This dude dropped by the Happy Belly Diner a few weeks back. Gracious, I've never seen such a messy eater in my life. He slurps his stew, shoves his entire plate clean in one bite, and digs his face, literally, into his dessert. Talk about animal manners. Messy, messy, messy."
"Ooooooohhh, sounds like he has the appetite of a real predator! I like that in guys."
Well, that failed nicely. After being politely asked to move from the chair one last time, Yum-Yum excused herself. She then broke the news to Van Goose, on how LongLegs was excited to know that there's someone who eats more disgustingly than her. Van Goose decided to ask Saxxo next. Meanwhile, Yum-Yum found a sad, lonely old man. ...dog. Drowning his sorrows in punch.
"You seem under the weather there, Barkstone."
"Well don't rain on my parade."
"Had trouble with your date?"
"Like that's any of your business!"
"Okay-"
"She left me for this feeble, puny little Chihuahua. I'll never understand women."
Elsewhere, Saxxo was playing the tune he showed us earlier in the episode. Suddenly, Van Goose called him from behind the red curtains. The show still had to go on, so Saxxo put someone else in his place. A rabbit puppet that played the spoons. Saxxo went behind the red curtains, then came out covered in roller bandages, and walked with a cane. King Karl witnessed the whole affair, which got him to be suspicious. The tiger limped as fast as he could to Mama LongLegs.
"Oh jeez, Saxxo! What happened to you?!"
"That fella... Your secret admirer... Earlier that day, Ah was just all cool, playin' mah music to go, when ah bumped into HIM! He a bad dude! I'm not talkin' bout the good kind of bad!"
"HE did this to you?"
"Uh-huh. I wanted to pass by, and forget the whole thang ever happened, but this man got issues! He battered me to a pulp, and was well aware that ah was uncapable of defending myself. Look at dis body and say otherwise!"
"Golly! He must be such a strong, sturdy hunk! (I think I'm in love!)"
"What about me?!"
"Well, you did bump into him without saying 'excuse me.'"
That plan backfired as well. The only option left was to tell Mama LongLegs the truth. Before Van Goose got to say anything to LongLegs, Barkstone made a dramatic entrance with a puff of smoke. He was now sitting in that chair, wearing a ridiculous spider costume, and a false mustace.
"Sorry I'm late, madam! My limo needed repair. Might I introduce myself: I am John George Henry Lewis Raphael III! Owner of the largest oil company in the Paradise, and The First National Kidney Donor Bank!"
Van Goose tugged Barkstone by his false mustace and whispered into his ear.
"Bahrkstahne, whaht ahre you doing?"
"Helping out, of course. You owe me big time in this, by the way."
The dog continued to chat with LongLegs. You couldn't tell by her face, but her tone showed that she wasn't falling for it. ...and ready to kill.
"My, you sure are lovely on this fine night! Did anyone ever tell you that you look better in the dark lighting?"
"Barkstone... ...what is this?"
King Karl appeared and asked "Yes, what is this," but in a lighthearted manner. After Van Goose painfully tore off the false mustace from Barkstone's face, she explained everything. Since LongLegs' bad mood and losing hope in Valentine's Day, Van Goose decided to make up a fake admirer so that LongLegs knows that she is loved. Barkstone provided the flowers (magically), Yum-Yum made the chocolate covered grasshoppers, and Saxxo wrote the poem. Van Goose guided them.
She also explained that they never intented to have this secret admirer meet Mama LongLegs, but had no choice because Saxxo got carried away in the rhymes. King Karl lectured the four Critters. He told them that it's never okay to fool somebody's feelings, and quotes that love is too delicate to mess with. There are many alternatives to making your friends happy, especially on Valentine's Day. Van Goose timidly stepped up to Mama LongLegs, and apologized for all that has happened.
"We're ahll equally sahrry, LahngLegs. We just wahnted to mahke you hahppy, ahnd breeng your speerit een Vahlentine's Day bahck, because we cahre fahr you. We nevair meant to breeng such hahrm."
Mama LongLegs hesitated for a moment.
"As much as I want to be mad at you, it's just impossible knowing I have friends who love me so much. I guess the best Valentine a woman can ever have is her own friends."
Van Goose and Mama LongLegs hugged things out. The others joined in too, even Barkstone, only because the moment was too heartwarming to ignore. Before the episode ends for good, and the credits roll, it's Paradise Fun-Time, which Van Goose shows us how to make crafty Valentine's Day cards. Seems more relevant than any of the hacks from 5-Minute Crafts. Catch you later, loves!

Like a Love Song
This is a fan made Trollstopia episode with Rose as the main focus!!
———————————————————————
the day begins with Rose in bed
she was starring into space
then a loud knock banged at the door
Laguna: Rose? It’s me Laguna! You wanna study?
Laguna: Make a life breaking discovery?
Rose log rolls off the bed
she stands up again and makes the most awake face she possibly can make
she opens the door
Rose: Okay sure!
Short skip to when they were at Lagunas place studying
Rose: So what are we studying exactly?
Laguna: I don’t know...
She throws the book she had
Laguna: so what do you wanna talk about?
Synth was conveniently outside Lagunas window talking to Branch
Rose: ...
Laguna: Rose?
Laguna: Are you looking at Synth?
Rose: WHAT?! NO I DON’T!! STOP ASKING!!!
Laguna: 😐
Rose: I’m just...uh...
She gets distracted again because Synth looks her way and waves
She smiles some and waves back
Laguna: do you..?
Rose: maybe okay?
Laguna: *gasp* aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww~!
Laguna: Roooooooooooosssse!
Rose: 😒
Laguna: did you tell him?
Rose: of course-
Laguna: What’d he say?
Rose: not
Laguna: WHAT?! WHY?!
Rose: well uh...I don’t know if he feels the same.
Laguna: ooohhhhh I see. You wanna impress him!
Rose: yeah...
Laguna: I don’t think it’ll take a lot to do that. Synth’s a nice guy.
Rose: okay. What do you want me to do?
Laguna: don’t worry Rose! I have the perfect plan!
At the door to Synths house
Rose is standing with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate hearts.
Rose: I don’t know about this, Laguna. It seems really...Stereotypical...
Laguna: I’m sure that’ll get Synth to like you!
Rose rings the doorbell
Rose: you owe me big time if he...
Laguna was gone
Synth then opens the door
Synth: oh! Rose! A...Are those for me?
Rose: A...Eh...yeh...
Synth grabs the flowers and chocolate and puts them aside
Synth: uh...Thanks?
Rose: yeh...
Synth closes the door
Laguna: WHAT IN THE NAME OF MITOCHONDRIA WAS THAT?!
Rose: My mentality stalling
It zooms into her head showing her brain failing to start up a motor. when the motor starts up again her brain flips the “days without stalling” sign to zero.
Laguna: okay you obviously need some confidence
Laguna: and I know just the troll who can help us!
It cuts to Val
Val: No I’m not giving you romantic advise...
Rose: Please! I’ll never get his attention without you!
Val: who are you even talking about?
Rose: Uh...Eh...
Poppy: Who is it Val?
Poppy: Oh hey Rose what’s the issue?
Val: She’s got a crush on some boy and she wants me to give her romantic advise
Poppy: who is it?
Val: that’s what we haven’t got to yet...She’s sitting here STALLING instead of ANSWERING ME!
Rose: It’s Synth okay?!
Rose covers her mouth
Poppy: Awww!
Val: Ewww!
Poppy: I know exactly how you can get him to like you back.
Poppy set up a council meeting the very next day
Rose: Poppy! Why did you call all of the ambassadors?
Poppy: Because Synth is a ambassador! you can confess here!
Rose: But wouldn’t that be wasting all of the other council’s time?!
Poppy: Don’t worry! I told all of them about how you feel!
Rose and Laguna facepalm at the same time.
everyone arrives but Synth
Poppy: great! Everyone's here!
Dante: So, Rosanne...
Rose: you can just call me Rose you know that right.
Dante: Yes yes I know..
Dante: I see you have feelings for a certain someone?
Rose: Ughhhh...Yes...
Dante: and you don’t know how to tell him?
Rose: *sighs* No...
Holly: Well don’t you worry your absolutely adorable head off Rosie!
Rose: Rose
Holly: Yeah yeah what ever...We got this!
Synth finally arrives
Poppy: Oh Synth! It seems that all of the seats are taken! Except, this one...Right next to Rose...?
Synth: That ones free...
He points to a chair next to Val. Val immediately picks the chair up and yeets it out the window. it lands on Smidge
Smidge: I’M OKAY!
Synth: Ok...
Synth sits next to Rose
Poppy: So I called you guys here to talk about...Romance...
Rose: *whispers in Poppys ear* Where are you going with this
Poppy: *Whispers back* All of the talk about romance will heat him up and then you’ll confess!
Rose: *whispers* I don't think that's how it works...
Synth: Why Romance?
Poppy: Uh...When is the Techno mating season?
Synth: Summer...It just started...Why?
Poppy rambles on for 10 minutes about uniting all mating seasons to be during summer.
Poppy’s plan seemed to be working. So Rose decided to confess.
Rose: Psst..Hey...
Synth seemed to be focussed on Poppy
Val: *whispers* Tap his shoulder!
Rose: *Gulps* O..Okay...
Rose taps Synths shoulder and he turns to her
Rose: Synth...I have to tell you something...
Synth: Yess?
Rose: It sorta relates to what Poppy’s talking about...
Synth: Yesss~?
Rose: I...I..L..Lo...
It zooms into Roses mind. Her brain was struggling with the controls while there was an alarm yelling “Synth Alert!” The brain was repeatedly pressing the confess button but it wouldn’t work.
Rose: I...Lo..L..
Val: Get on with it!
Rose: I...Uh...I Lo...
Synth: You Love..?
Rose faints
Poppy: AH! ROSE!
Dante: ROSANNE!
Holly: ROSIE!
Rose: I...ts....Rose!
A few hours later Rose wakes up
Synth: Is she gonna be okay?
Poppy: yeah I’m sure of it
Rose: What happened
Synth: I don’t know, you we’re gonna tell me something and you just passed out...
Synth: Do you still remember what you wanted to tell me?
Rose passes out again. This time when she wakes up Synth was gone.
Rose: Where’s Synth?
Poppy: We told him branch needed him...
Rose: Uggghhhh! WHY COULDN’T I TELL HIM?! THAT COULD’VE BEEN MY ONLY CHANCE.
Dante: Nonsense! I have a trick up my sleeve!
Rose: Your gonna set up a date at that fancy restaurant aren’t you?
Dante: Of course! What else?
Rose: O...Okay then...Yeeey.
At Dante's Restaurant, Synth was sitting next to Rose. They we’re both silent.
Dante: I set up neon lights around their table to set a good... “tech” mood as they say.
Laguna: Nobody says that...
Synth: So...Rose...You invited me here for a reason I’m guessing...
Rose: Yeah uh...There’s something I need to tell you...But I’ll save it for after we eat
the food arrives
Rose: Look! Food!
Synth: You seem unsure about something...You okay girl?
Rose: Yeah I’m fine!
Synth intriguingly puts his head on his fist
Synth: Yeah alright...
he had a disapproving tone.
Synth: I’m gonna...Use the restroom...
Synth got up and walked away
Laguna: psst! Rose!
Rose turns around to see Laguna and Dante hiding in a bush.
Laguna: Amps don't like it when you lie to them!
Rose: Amps??
Laguna: *sighs* Male techno trolls! they don’t like it when females lie to them! they’ll think they cant trust them!
Rose: Why did I not know that! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! *she knocks her head three times*
Synth returns and they finish their meal.
Rose: So Synth...I’ve been meaning to tell you something...
Synth: Actually...I think I’ll just go..
Rose: W...Why?
Synth: I just dont like the aura we have around each other...It’s really...Awkward...
Rose: I swear that’s just me...I sorta cant help it
Synth makes a disgusted face.
Laguna face palms
Synth: I’m just gonna go...
Synth leaves the restaurant and Rose rests her head on the table.
Laguna: Okay that went horribly...
Rose: You think???
Dante: I’m afraid I can’t help you...But I do know someone who could...
Dante winks
Laguna: Oh yeah! Someone who knows who Synth is inside and out!
Dante: Someone who’s been freinds with him for a long time...
Laguna: Someone...Who’s gone through the same thing Rose is going through right now!
Rose: Poppy?
Laguna and Dante: No! Branch!
Rose: That’s right! He’s Synth’s best friend!
the next day Rose comes to Branch’s bunker
Branch: Who is it? Oh. Rose?
Rose: Hi...
Branch: What’s up...We haven’t talked in a while.
Rose: I actually need your help...You know Synth right?
Branch: Is that even a question?! He’s my best bud!
Rose: Great! Do you know how I could get him to like me?
Branch’s eyes went wide
Branch: Woah...I said i was his friend not his dad!
Rose: Please Branch! You’re my last bet!
Branch: Did you confess?
Rose: No
Branch: then i dont know how to help you, if you want Synth to like you then you should just tell him
Rose: I have nowhere near the confidence to do that!
Branch: Alright then...If i know Synth I really think you can just hang out with him.
Synth arrives behind Rose
Branch: Speaking of! here he is!
Synth: What’s she doing here? Emergency?
Branch: She wants to hang out with us
Synth: Huh..? O...Okay…Then..
Branch walked into the bunker but before Rose could enter Synth grabbed her arm
Synth: Rose listen, I’ve been passing by and stuff like…you know I just see you sometimes around the lagoon or somewhere up here and…You’re a really social girl, nice to, so…Could you please be that nice and social girl instead of…
Rose: The way I was at the da- dinner?
Synth: Hol’ up we’re you about to say date?
Rose: No…
Synth scowls and Rose remembers what Laguna told her.
Rose: I mean…Yeah it was just a slip of words…Sorry!
Rose began to push away the awkward behavior she had and began to show her true personality.
Synth: that right there…Is why I like you…
Synth smiles
Rose: Like uh…Like like?
Synth’s eyes go a bit wide.
Synth: I mean…If you want…
Rose: Uh- N...No thanks…
Synth: Oh uh…Right…
They both walk into the bunker.
The day was filled with bonding and the day finally finished off with a rave
Branch began to think this was a good time to confess.
Branch: Hey Synth.
Synth: Yeah?
Branch: Rose has something she wants to tell you.
Rose: No I don’t-
Branch: *whispers* She really likes you!
Rose: What?
Branch: *whispers* She’s in love with you!
Synth: She is???
Rose: NO! I DON’T LOVE SYNTH AND I NEVER WILL LOVE HIM!!
Synths heart shatters.
Rose realizes her mistake.
Rose: Synth I…It was a slip of words
Synth: No no…*sniff* I think you we’re clear…
Rose: I-
Synth: Crystal…Clear
Synth leaves the rave early and the crowd glares at Rose.
Branch: Real smooth…
Branch had his hand in his face
After the rave ended Rose ran out of the water and to a lonely hill. She balled up, she didn’t even feel like howling she was so sad.
Rose: Why would I say something like that…
Rose: I’m such a coward…and a jerk…and a-
Synth: You’re not all those things…
Rose: Synth?
Synth sits beside her. Rose blushes and avoids eye contact.
Synth: Rose…Listen…I like you…I really do…I…I don’t wanna hear you saying stuff like that about yourself…
Rose: It doesn’t matter if it’s true…
Synth: But it isn’t.
Synth: You’re kind, caring, curious, and absolutely adorable!
Rose blushes some more.
Synth: And even if you don’t like me…The guy you do like…Is awfully lucky…
Synth looks down. Rose has the compelling urge to comfort him
Rose puts her arm out to wrap around him. She slowly builds the courage and gently pulls him closely.
Synth: What are you doing?
Rose: Synth…Listen…I…I didn’t mean a word of what I said back there. I would never say such a thing, I…really…Would do nothing but give you all the affection and love you want cause…I love you…
Synths eyes went wide
Synth: I…I thought you said…
Synth looks down for a moment
Synth: I love you to Rose…
He smiles
They close up and close their eyes preparing for a kiss
Branch: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….
Synth and Rose scream and back away.
Synth: DUBSTEP YOU DANG NEAR GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!
Rose: YEAH WHAT DO YOU WANT???
Branch: I thought Rose needed some help but I see you two got yourselves wrapped up!
Synth: Like a gift…
He smiles back at Rose.
Rose: I think…I was relying on everyone else to the point where…I didn’t know how to deal with Synth…Independently…
Synth: Heh…Either way…You got me…
Branch: Uh…Yeah cool imma go now…
Branch leaves
Synth: So…What do you wanna do now?
Rose: Kiss..? Maybe..? Of course that’s if you want im not forcing you or anythi-
Synth grabs Rose and kisses her then backs away.
Rose: I see you…Wanted to…
Synth giggles and they both turn back to the moon. Synth then leans on Rose’s shoulder.
The end!

Echoes of You Ch. 17
Read on Ao3
Her heart pounds in her ears, echoing the sound of her footsteps on cobblestone. She forces herself not to run, even as panic and adrenaline urge her to hurry, hurry, but she knows nothing will draw his attention like a mouse scurrying for cover.
That is, if he even knows who she is.
She can’t be sure, but that monster, that thing, cornered her too close to home for her to rest easy. Her ribs still ache from how it surprised her. It’s terrifying, because it shouldn’t hurt, but in the end her bruised ribs are what spurred her to leave her house so late. They are a testament to her nemesis’ strength, an unavoidable truth that he is stronger than her and he will not rest and until he’s ripped her earrings from her ears and a name from her lips.
If it were anyone else, she might have been able to withstand the storm.
But love has made her reckless and desperate to change her fate. It may not be enough. As she passes through shadow after shadow she racks her mind for any other answer, any other hope. She wishes she could ask for advice, but she’s already relinquished her companion, hidden her away. Besides, she knows if she puts those earrings back on she won’t be able to take them off a second time. The plan is in motion; any disruption now could mean disaster. She can not hesitate. She won’t.
She stumbles to a stop as the mansion comes into view.
She hadn’t thought out this part. She pulls her hood closer around her face. Even so, it might be enough - but it has to be, or this is all for nothing.
As she watches, a figure appears outside the stone wall, half in shadow, like her. A glint of blonde hair catches the light off a streetlamp and she can’t believe her luck, though it’s been her domain for more than a year now. It makes sense; he should just be coming off patrol now. It’s careless to detransform on the street like he must have, but she knows how strict his father can be. She’s had three weeks to get used to the idea, but she still can’t quite reconcile it. If anything, though, his appearance out here on the street is proof. How else could he flout his iron-clad schedule?
This is it. The beginning of the end of everything. She has to stop him now, before he disappears inside the gate and she can convince herself she tried.
‘Adrien!’
She sees him stop, sets him turn as she she hurries across the street, stepping into shadow with him. She should tell him. It’s what every fibre of her being is screaming at her to do. Tell him, and figure out a new plan together.
But she knows he won’t let her follow through on her plan, and she knows she’ll let him stop her, because she would give anything for a different answer. In that moment, she commits to her course of action. She can do this for Paris. She can do this for him.
‘What - ’
‘I don’t have time,’ she cuts him off. She has to do this, now, before he realizes what she’s doing. ‘I… I wrote everything down in the tablet. Give the earrings to Chloe Bourgeois. I know it doesn’t make sense right now, but trust me on this. There’s good in her, and… I’m sorry. I’m sorry. If love were enough, I’d still be here. But it’s not, and this is the only way I can… I’m sorry. Goodbye…Adrien…”
She stretches up on her toes and kisses his cheek, the barest feathering of her lips on his skin. As she does, she shoves the box and the tablet into his arms, hard enough to make him stumble back. Then she runs.
She runs until she is sure he isn’t following her, until she is sure he would have gone inside, until she is fairly certain there is no going back. And then she gives it all up.
‘I, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, former Ladybug and guardian of Paris, hereby relinquish the Miracle Box and name Adrien Agreste the new guardian.’
Marinette groaned as her eyes popped open. They felt dry, and she blinked a few times as she reached for her phone to check the time. The display read 2:35 am. She let the phone drop as she twisted into a more comfortable position, but between the moon shining through her skylight and the flickering, fading images of her nightmare, her body had decided she was awake.
“Fine,” she grumbled, flipping the covers back. She climbed down to her room and flicked on the lights, careful to roll her chair silently across her floor as she settled down by her dress. Extra cash for extra fabric was all well and good, but it also meant extra hemming. Given the design, it all had to be done by hand. And that meant hours of extra work.
As Marinette threaded her needle, she couldn’t help but glance at her open window and the plate she’d left there. She knew what she’d see before she looked, but she couldn’t stop hope from springing up anyway. It frayed into frustration and embarrassment as she took in the untouched plate. She’d spent the better part of a year and a half chasing after Adrien, and as soon as she started to even think of someone else, they…
Well, they broke her heart.
It had been like that for over two weeks now. At first she’d thought Chat Noir just hadn’t had the time until four nights ago when she’d seen his silhouette bounding across the Notre Dame on patrol. He hadn’t even paused. Not that he had, to, she’d reminded herself. They barely knew each other, hadn’t made any promises.
So why did it sting so much?
“It doesn’t matter,” Marinette reminded herself as she took up the hem. “It was just a silly little crush. It wasn’t even real. It just makes things easier, really.”
Besides, it wasn’t his fault if she imagined something that wasn’t there. And anyway, Alya was always swearing up and down that Chat Noir was in love with Ladybug. When she’d shown Marinette the pictures, she’d had to agree with her friend. Even if it wasn’t obvious to the super heroine, it was obvious to her.
“Ughhhh!” Marinette jabbed the needle into the mannequin and leaned back, covering her eyes with the palms of her hands. “Why? Why am I such a disaster?!”
“I don’t think you’re a disaster.”
Marinette sat up so fast she almost fell off her chair. “You! What are you doing here?”
Chat Noir cocked an eyebrow as he slowly bit down on a macaron. “I thought I had a standing invitation? Or did I misread the open window and plate of goodies? Though I feel I should warn you, as far as keeping people out goes, that only officially works on vampires.”
Marinette bit her lip, taking a chocolate chip cookie from the plate when he offered it. “I thought you weren’t coming by anymore,” she admitted. “Not that you have to, or that I want you to; you can do what you want, it doesn’t bother me, it’s fine, I’m fine.”
Those impossibly green eyes darted to the ground, then back up to her face as his smile faltered.
“I was…afraid to come here,” he admitted, setting the plate down.
“Afraid?” She knew the heroes were just people, but she’d never imagined Chat Noir afraid of anything. “Afraid of what?
“Not ‘of what’,” he said, twisting on the sill so his legs were dangling into her room. “For you.”
The words sent a chill skittering down Marinette’s spine. “For me?”
He nodded. “Hawkmoth has been… no.” He ran a hand through his blonde hair in frustration. “You know the senti-monsters that have been popping up the past three weeks?”
Marinette nodded. “One attacked Alya and Nino.”
“One also attacked Chloe Bourgeois,” Chat Noir said. “I think Hawkmoth is trying to hunt down Ladybug.” All members of Paris’ super hero team.
“But why?” Marinette asked with a shiver. “You guys always show up when there’s an akuma, why would he be…”
“Because that’s not Ladybug.”
The precipice yawned in front of Marinette. This time it felt like the ground crumbled under her feet, and she was falling, falling, falling.
“What do you mean?”
Chat Noir dropped into her room, pacing silently on the floor. “It’s…complicated. But Ladybug gave up being Ladybug and gave the earrings to someone else in order to protect someone. I think Hawkmoth knows that, and I think he’s hunting her down by attacking members of our team, trying to find a weak point.”
Marinette flexed her fingers, trying to work some warmth back into them. “And…what does that have to do with me?”
“Don’t you get it, Marinette?” Chat Noir dropped to a knee in front of her, snatching up her hands as though he could convey the urgency of his fear through touch alone. “You’re part of that team. No one but me knows you’re Multimouse. And if I lead one of the monsters to your door… I would never forgive myself if something happened to you because of me. Not after everything…”
Marinette leaned forward and cupped Chat Noir’s cheek, running a thumb along his cheekbone. “It’s ok,” she said softly, wanting more than anything to ease the burden he must be feeling. “I’m ok. I understand.”
“I have to ask you something,” he said, “Even though I have no right, I…”
“You’re my friend,” Marinette said with a small smile. “You have every right. Ask me.”
He squeezed her hands once, then let go. “I don’t want you to wear a Miraculous again,” he said softly, unable to meet her eyes as he spoke. “It’s not about your skill. You’re one of the best team mates we have, and I can see why my Lady chose you, but…”
I’m afraid for you.
“Chat Noir.” She waited until he met her eyes again. “If the roles were reversed - if it were me out there everyday, fighting to protect Paris, and I asked you not to help, would you?”
Pain flashed across his face but he answered honestly. “No. Not if I could. But it’s different, Marinette. You don’t even know me.”
“I do,” she promised, pulling him to his feet as she stood. This close she could feel the warmth of his body next to hers. She was acutely aware of the few inches separating them. “I know you’re brave, and selfless, and kind. I know you’re funny, but you also use jokes because you’re afraid. You take on too much and you don’t like to ask for help, and when you love someone, it’s with your whole heart. I would guess the only thing I don’t know about you, Kitty, is your name.”
“How do you do that?” he whispered, searching her face.
“Do what?” Marinette asked. She tilted her head back, her heart skipping as Chat Noir laced his fingers with hers.
“See through everything,” he murmured, “See me.”
“Almost everything…” she said, reaching up to trace the edge of his mask. “Just lucky I guess.”
His lips crashed into hers, one arm around her waist, the other in her hair as he pulled her in, like he’d thought of nothing else for days. Marinette wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him tighter. Tingles raced over her skin. She couldn’t get a breath in, but she didn’t care. She tangled her fingers in his hair and heard him moan in response. She liked it. She wanted to hear more.
But he abruptly broke away from her, falling back against the window. Cold rushed in where his body had been pressed against hers moments ago.
“I shouldn’t have done that,” he said, but he ran his tongue over his lips like he could still taste her on them. “I was supposed to be making sure you were safe, not endangering you more. I shouldn’t have… I should go.”
“Don’t.” The sound broke from Marinette before she could stop it. “I…I know things are complicated. I don’t expect anything, but please. Don’t go. Don’t disappear on me.”
“I would never do that,” Chat Noir said. He straightened as though he would reach for her again, but seemed to think better of the idea. “I just…don’t want to be the reason you get hurt.”
“I understand,” Marinette said. She took one step, then another, until she was standing in front of him again. “I’m asking you to trust me. Do you?”
“More than anyone else,” he said softly. “Stay safe?”
“I’ll do my very best,” Marinette promised, “Though you should know I’m the clumsiest person in the whole city, so you’re kind of asking a lot.”
She leaned in, slower this time, giving him time to stop her if he wanted to.
Instead he tilted his face, meeting her half way in a kiss that was much more gentle than their first, a tentative beginning. She broke away after a moment, but instead he just leaned his forehead against hers, eyes closed, as though trapped in her gravity.
“Good night, Marinette.” He placed a soft kiss on her forehead, the faintest brush of his lips against her skin. “Sweet dreams.”
He pulled away again and disappeared through her window into the night. Marinette watched him go as long as she could until his shadow finally disappeared from view. She placed a hand over her heart as she turned back to her room and flicked off the light, suddenly exhausted, but paused to trace a finger over her lips.
So much, she thought, for things being easier.

Failed Surprises
“Hello, I'm really loving your blog and hope you're having a great day! I was wondering if I could please request Kokichi, Rantaro, Nagito, Gundham, Hajime, and Makoto with a male S/O who they're each trying to surprise (or maybe prank in Kokichi's case haha) but but their attempts end up going terribly yet hilariously wrong because the S/O was trying to surprise/prank them as well?”
I love this trope not gonna lie! Sorry if they seem a bit repetitive!
Imagine: Trying and failing to surprise their S/O because they also set up a surprise with M! S/O
Kokichi Oma
Kokichi was bored
Really bored.
Days like this where neither him or Y/n had anything errands usually consisted of laying around the house, watching t.v. or getting into a heated board game
They had been doing that for hours when Y/n decided he needed to go to the store and pick up a few things
Kokichi, being the mischievous kid he is, saw this as the perfect opportunity to scare him
When Y/n called to say he was on his way home, Kokichi went to their room and hid in the closet, ready to jump out when his boyfriend walked in
After a few minutes, he heard the door open and someone drop some bags near the door. He then heard some shuffling and some more doors shutting, before total silence
Kokichi tried to wait, but with how impatient he is, felt like he had been in their closet for hours
He had really been in there for fifteen minutes but
With a huff, he got out and swung open the bedroom door
“Y/n, this is no fun! I was supposed to scare you!”
He looked around, and realized he was talking to an empty house
“Y/n? Did you finally run away? Or maybe you were kidnapped by a rival secret organization!”
He heard some muffled laughter come from the kitchen, and went to investigate
“Did I hear someone? Maybe an assassin?”
He swung open the cabinet under the sink with his foot, and Y/n tumbled out
“Y/n! This isn’t fair! I was supposed to scare you!”
Y/n got up and brushed himself off, laughing. “I saw you weren’t in here so I wanted to scare you too!”
Kokichi sighed and gently leaned on his S/O
“Oh how could you ever?! I am but a sad, fragile boy!”
Y/n laughed, patting Kokichi on the back
“Sure you are. Now, help me unpack the groceries”
“Ughhhh!”
Rantaro Amami
Rantaro knew how much Y/n wanted to go see their favorite band in concert, but knew he could never afford the tickets
Which is why Rantaro bought them for him
He had planned the whole thing out, he would pretend to take Y/n out to a nice dinner date, and surprise him with tickets, which he must say, had some good seats
But everything halted when Y/n said that they had a family dinner that night, and that they both needed to go
To say he was disappointed would be an understatement, but knew that they had to go to family events
Except they weren’t.
Rantaro was actually pretty close with his boyfriends family, and called his mom and explained the situation
She laughed and told him that yes, it was fine
So when the night came, Y/n and Rantaro were dressed up nice for the family dinner, which they weren’t attending
Rantaro had brought a bag of regular clothes, which contained band tees and a few bottles of water, while Y/n had their overnight bag for the dinner
When they got in the car, Rantaro started driving, saying he needed to make a stop first to get something from the store
When they pulled into the parking lot of the concert, Y/n looked at Rantaro, eyes wide
“I know, we have to go to your family dinner, but I talked to your mom and-”
Y/n stopped him by rummaging through their overnight bag, pulling out two slips of paper
“This isn’t fair! I was supposed to surprise you once we actually got to my moms!”
Rantaro, is very confused.
“What?”
“I won two front row tickets! I made up the family dinner so you could go to my moms, where I’d surprise you there!”
“But...I bought two tickets, and called your mom and said we’d have to cancel...”
Y/n stared at him for a moment before bursting into laughter, Rantaro following them
“We’re idiots, huh?”
“Yep.”
After they finished laughing they both started pulling out the regular clothing so they could go change
Rantaro spoke up
“I hope you know we’re definitely using your tickets”
Nagito Komada
Nagito prayed luck was on his side today
It was his and Y/n’s anniversary, but his boyfriend seemed to have forgotten
Perfect
Since they hadn’t yet moved in together, Nagito wanted to set up a perfect dinner date in his own home
He recruited Teruteru to help cook the meal, and began setting up the perfect date for him and his boyfriend
Dim lighting, amazing food, their favorite movie, and all the pillows and blankets anyone would ever want for a perfect night of cuddling
After he had made his house perfect and wished Teruteru goodbye, he texted Y/n, asking him to come over
‘Hey, Y/n, can you come over and help me move my bed? I am super weak and I need someone strong like my S/O’
‘Nagito, I actually need you to come here. My dog got out and I cant find him!’
Crap.
Nagito knew how much he loved his dog, hell, Nagito loved that dog!
Nagito sighed and picked up his keys, this date would have to wait another hour
When he got to Y/n’s house all the lights were turned off and he didn’t see his boyfriend anywhere
“Y/n? Where are you? Did you find Sushi?”
He knocked on the door, surprised when it opened on the first knock
“Surprise!”
“What?”
All of their friends were there, streamers and a huge banner that read; ‘Happy Anniversary!’
“You thought I forgot, huh? I thought we could have a big party, since it’s also the day that we all first hung out outside of school!”
Shoot, he forgot about that
He saw Teruteru in the background, shit eating grin on his face
He’ll have to kill him later
“Y/n, I really appreciate this, but I kinda had a surprise date waiting at my house...”
Y/n’s face dropped
“Oh no! I’m so sorry Nagito”
“I-it’s fine! What better way to spend the evening than with everyone? We could always just go back to my house after everyone leaves here.”
Y/n smiled again and pulled Nagito into the house
‘this is a good day’
Gundham Tanaka
Gundham knew the perfect way to surprise his boyfriend for his birthday
What better gift than something they both love?
Gundham had been looking at animal shelters for weeks trying to find the perfect puppy to bring into their home
Until, two days before his S/O’s birthday, he found the one
A beautiful baby chocolate lab that practically jumped on him when he first went to pet it
This boy’s heart melted instantly
And he knew his other boy’s heart would too
He planned to get him the next day, but when he came back, the dog was gone
“Sorry, this dog was adopted by someone this morning, but we have plenty of other dogs if you want to look!”
Gundham thanked the nice lady at the counter and started his stroll home, sulking about his missed opportunity
‘Maybe I could him something else to make up for it?’
Gundham started towards the store, picking up ingredients to make a cake and banner
When he got home, he realized he, in fact, didn’t know how to make cake
He tried his best though!
Which was a little lopsided, and having put the icing on too early, a little melted.
He put the banner up, but having realized they had no tacks or scotch tape, he had to settle for duct tape
Finally, he just had to wait for Y/n to get home
When he got home, his boyfriend was sitting on the floor, holding cake away from his dark devas of destruction
“Gundham, what are you doing?”
“I wanted to get you a surprise for your birthday, but since I couldn’t get what I wanted to get you, I tried to make a cake and put up a banner but...”
Gundham looked down at Y/n’s feet, seeing a small creature
“Y/n, what is that?”
“Well, my birthday is tomorrow, and I wanted to get a gift we can both love!”
The chocolate lab jumped from Y/n’s grasp on his leash, bounding towards Gundham, and inevitably, the cake.
It jumped right on it, causing an impact of cake on Gundham, the dog, his hamsters, and the floor
Everything dead silent until the banner fell off the wall
Y/n was the first to break the silence, laughing and going to get a couple towels for his boyfriend
He helped Gundham clean up the cake explosion and hang up the banner once more
Gundham nearly died when Y/n hugged him tightly
“Don’t worry, this was perfect”
Hajime Hinata
There was no occasion, Hajime just wanted to do something nice for his boyfriend
He planned to go to the store, get some nice drinks, a good meal, and the perfect movie for them to watch for the night
Except when he went to the store to get the drinks, Nagito was there, and needed some help finding something
While helping Nagito, they ran into Mikan, quite literally, who crashed into an isle and knocked down dozens of boxes of macaroni and cheese
They helped Mikan up, and before Hajime could say a word, Nagito claimed that he was gonna go find Mikan a doctor and walked off, leaving Hajime to clean the whole place to himself
Right when he finished, he got a phone call
“...Hello?”
“Hajime? It’s Chiaki, can you come over? Akane and Nekomaru are sparring in my backyard and they keep breaking thi- hey! Stop! Please come!” He heard a crash, which was silenced with a ‘click’ of the call ending
He rushed over to Chiaki’s apartment, finding the door wide open, yelling coming from the back
“Chiaki?”
“Please help! Peko’s here too!”
He walked inside to see it looking normal, but the backyard looked like a tornado has swung through
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, watching Nekomaru and Akane spar, breaking vases and trampling a small garden
“Akane, Nekomaru, what are you doing?”
“We’re training, what does it look like?”
“Could you maybe do it in the park, or your own house?”
“You always need to learn how to fight in new spaces!” Nekomaru shouted, ducking a flying kick from his opponent
At that moment, Peko grabbed Akane midair and threw her to the floor, earning a huff of air from the fallen girl
“Foul move, Peko!”
Akane got up and brushed herself off, before running out of the house
Nekomaru followed, yelling for her to continue the fight
Peko said her goodbyes and left, while Chiaki and Hajime cleaned
“Sorry for the inconvenience, calling you over when you couldn’t help”
“It’s fine, I just really wanted to do something for Y/n today, but I guess I can try tomorrow”
“Well, how about I walk you home, and we can pick up some food on the way?”
“Thanks Chiaki”
They finished cleaning and they went back to the store, picking up some food platters and drinks
When they got to Hajime’s place, the whole house was dark
“Aw shoot, is he already asleep?”
Suddenly all the lights turned on, banners, streamers and balloons littering the house
“SURPRISE!”
“What?”
All of his friends were there, wearing party hats, a cake on the table that read ‘Happy Birthday Hajime”
oh
OH
Y/n broke through the crowd.
“Chiaki, did you bring the food?”
Chiaki held up the bags of food they just purchased “Yep!”
“Thank you! Happy birthday Hajime!” Y/n hugged him
“T-thank you...”
“Wait...don’t tell me you forgot your own birthday!”
He gave a sheepish smile and Y/n shook his head
“Dummy...”
“How about we get the party started!” Shouted Ibuki, jumping on the couch
“I don’t see why not!”
Makoto Naegi
Makoto his is boyfriend Y/n were officially in an all out prank war
They had done everything, from water guns to throwing flour bombs at each other
But today, Makoto planned to land the final blow
Having purchased the items needed to completely torment Y/n, which included lots of sticky notes, wrapping paper, and multiple alarm clocks, he hurried home to put his plan in motion
What he didn’t expect though, was to walk into the house and step onto a tarp, only to have a bucket of hot pink glitter fall on his head
He reached for the light switch, but instead of being greeted with light, he got the bright flashing on a disco ball and loud music
He stumbled into the house, only to trip on something resting on the floor
He fell and felt what seemed to be whipped cream hit his face
He heard laughing and the music and lights stop, only to look up and see his S/O, grinning and spraying him with neon green silly string
“Y/n!” He stood up and looked around, seeing the mess the living room was now in. “What happened?!”
“I finished this prank war, that’s what happened!”
He ran to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, seeing a mess of white, pink, and green all over him
“I swear...I am going to get you back!”
“Well I think you need a shower first!” Y/n swiped a bit of whipped cream off his face and ate it
“You’re so lucky I love you”
________________________________________________________________
Sorry is this isn’t what you wanted, but it was really fun coming up with failed surprises, though I think Gundhams is a little obvious :)

Ugh wow so I hate myself. I had to buy chocolates for my moms friend who’s doing my dress for free and making me dinner and the Russell Stover boxes happened to be bogo at Publix so the first thought that popped into my head out of reflex was oh cool I can get one for myself. Then my anorexic brain chimes in and was like skrrrrrt no box you just get two for her. And I’m like oh yeah you right you right. But that dumb chimpanzee brain was still inside of me thinking of how awesome it would feel to eat the entire box in one day and so fucking of course that brain won over and I hate half of the box on the way home from the grocery store. And then I was like well my diet today is already ruined so I might as well eat other food that tastes good and not the stuff I’ve been lying to myself about. So now I’m waiting on Uber eats to bring me five guys and it’s gonna taste so fucking delicious ughhh fuck I fucking LOVE five guys. I’m gonna hate myself but it’s fine it’s fine, right?? It’s fine??? Just savor the flavor. Fuck.
Fuck no I was just thinking I can starve myself during the week like I always do because that’s easy when I’m at work but then I remembered thanksgiving ughhhh FUCK!!! My family is a bunch of fat fucking pigs. I’m sure they’ll want breakfast and then thanksgiving lunch at my grandmas and then we’ll go out to eat for dinner somewhere really fattening. And then Friday I’m getting my hair done with my mom and we’re going to one of my favorite two local places but I haven’t decided which one yet. But it’s either gonna be my favorite local pizza or my favorite lasagna in the world (seriously their lasagna is fucking incredible).
FUCK honestly if I were rich I might just do fucking liposuction.

Winter Song
Ch: 7 Merry Christmas Darling
Chapters: 7/31
Word Count: I,707
Fandom: The Worst Witch (TV 2017)
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None
Summary: Sometimes, it takes some ice to thaw a relationship that’s been frozen for decades. Pippa invites Hecate to spend a holiday evening at a village celebration.
Notes: Only one day late! I hope to get back on track over the weekend, but I’ve hit the perfect storm of IRL holiday commitments and prompts I didn’t get done ahead of time.
This story is part of the B-Sides: Stories from the world of Hecate’s Summer Playlist series. It is a prequel to Hecate’s Summer Playlist.
Merry Christmas Darling is a great old Carpenters song.
Thanks again to Sparky, who only mocked me a little for sending her the draft at 4 am this morning.
Pippa hesitated, hand poised just over Hecate’s door. She was second-guessing herself again. Or third, or fourth or tenth-guessing herself. She already had her hand raised to vanish the pink hold-all when the door flew open. “Hecate!” She stumbled back, startled. “I was just about to knock!”
Hecate smiled, eyes darting to the bag and back up to Pippa’s face. “Do come in,” she said, wincing.
“Don’t mind if I do, darling.” She swept past Hecate, squeezing her arm just above the elbow. Pippa dropped her hold-all onto Hecate’s sofa before unzipping her powder pink quilted jacket.
“You’re looking different tonight,” Hecate said, wincing again. “I mean… Ordinary clothes suit you, ughhhh…” Hecate turned away, huffing out a gust of breath. “I’m sorry… I’m trying to say that you look very nice tonight.”
Pippa grinned broadly. “Thank you, Hiccup.” She wanted to say more but knew she shouldn’t push. Hiccup was trying - she’d offered a compliment on Pippa’s outfit.
“May I get you something to drink? Tea? Or a glass of wine?” Hecate asked, her voice rising.
Pippa could see that Hecate was getting flustered. “Not just yet, darling. In fact, I was wondering if you might be willing to forego our chess game tonight? I thought –”
“Yes… that would be fine, you’re busy – especially this time of year. I understand if you need to cancel; I’m only sorry you didn’t save yourself the trip by mirroring.” Hecate’s voice, though pitched higher than usual, was steady. She couldn’t quite hide the gloss on her eyes, though she tried.
“No, Hiccup. Darling. You don’t understand at all.” Pippa laced her fingers through Hecate’s and pulled her over to sit on the sofa. Holding Hecate’s eyes with her own, Pippa waited until she knew that Hecate was listening to her. “I don’t want to cancel our evening. Not at all.” She let that sink in until Hecate nodded. “I was just rather hoping you might consider a different activity.” She released Hecate’s hand and unzipped her hold-all, pulling out two pairs of ice skates, one pink, the other black. “I had such a good time when we went in to town the other night, so I looked up the goings-on in some of the other villages in the area. There’s a Holiday in the Park that starts tonight in Foxmoor Glen. There’s to be carolers, a tree-lighting and an ice-skating rink. What do you say, Hiccup? Would you like to go? It’s all right if you’d rather stay in and play chess. As long as we’re together, I’m pleased.”
Pippa could see Hecate mulling it over. She tried not to look too eager; after all, if Hecate didn’t actually want to go, she didn’t want to force her. Neither would have an enjoyable evening. Finally, Hecate nodded. “I think that would be quite pleasant.” She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I’d love to,” she tried again.
“Brilliant! Let’s find you some proper skating clothes, then.”
****
“Are you ready?” Pippa asked, double-knotting the lace of her skate. Done, she stood, balancing on the blades and letting her ankles get used to the wobble. “I don’t remember the last time I went skating. Maybe that time we went into town our fifth year?” She watched as Hecate finished tying her own skates, admiring the way she looked in smart black t
“That’s the last time for me, I’m sure,” Hecate said, drily. She pushed herself off the bench, testing her balance on the blades. “Are you sure you don’t want me to charm the skates to keep us from falling?”
Pippa’s laugh rivaled the tinkling of the sleigh bells jingling on the horse-drawn carriage nearby. “That’s half the fun, Hiccup, the risk of bodily harm. C’mon… we’ll stay by the wall the first few laps.” In spite of her bold words, Pippa stepped gingerly onto the ice, sliding her skates in short, awkward strokes, grabbing the wall after only a few feet. She turned around, expecting to find Hecate still outside the rink. Instead, she nearly lost her skates when Hecate was right behind her, off the wall, sure and steady on the ice. “Of course, you remember how to skate, why wouldn’t you?” Shaking her head, Pippa pushed off from the wall. “Let’s go then…”
They took a rickety first lap around the rink, Hecate’s muscle memory returning much quicker than Pippa’s – much to Pippa’s chagrin. By the second lap they were both moving much more confidently, though perhaps not as quickly as other skaters. Pippa watched a cute couple skating past, hands clasped between them. She must have been looking a bit too wistfully, because when Pippa turned back to Hecate, she saw the look of hurt flickering across her face. “Hiccup?” She skated over to Hecate’s side, careful not to get too close. “What’s wrong?” She placed a hand on Hecate’s forearm, pulling her to a stop. “What is it?”
Hecate grinned ruefully and kept watching the couple make their way around the rink. “It’s nothing, Pipsqueak, just… I want you to know that I understand if you’d rather be here with someone else; it would make a lovely place for a…date.”
“A what?” Pippa followed Hecate’s eyes, finally realizing that Hecate was focused on the now kissing couple. She couldn’t help it, she threw back her head and laughed, causing her skates to fly out from under her and landing her on her backside on the ice. Hecate was by her side at once. “Oh, Hiccup…” she gasped, once she could speak again, “I promise you, darling, I am here with exactly the person I want to be here with.” She held out a hand and let Hecate help her back to her skates. Once up, Pippa pulled Hecate into motion, keeping their gloved fingers entwined for the next three laps, dropping them only when some racing children spun them around.
“Merlin’s rusty cauldron,” Hecate growled, grabbing Pippa’s arm to make sure the blonde stayed on her skates. She looked at Pippa, shocked to find Pippa staring back at her, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Pippa steadied herself on her skates, lifting her chin in challenge.
Hecate raised one slender eyebrow, but shifted on her skates, digging one toe into the ice, preparing to push off. “Once around the rink, then first to the exit? Loser buys the snacks?”
“You’re on, Hardbroom,” Pippa said, pushing off “GO!” Both witches raced away, laughter trailing behind them.
****
“Not the worst job I’ve seen today,” the nurse said, smiling as she finished wrapping gauze around Pippa’s palm. “Don’t know what you were thinking, dearie.”
Pippa flexed her fingers, wincing as the gauze stuck and pulled against the raw, scraped ice burn covering her palm. “I was thinking I was going to win,” she chuckled. “Would have done, too, if that boy hadn’t cut me off.” Instead, Pippa found herself sitting in the first-aid booth, getting her hand patched up while Hecate was off somewhere with Pippa’s wallet, choosing snacks that would no doubt be healthy and sensible. She sighed. Too bad… she’d really hoped for some caramel popcorn.
“Here come’s yer friend now,” the nurse said, pointing through the crowd at Hecate.
Pippa watched Hecate weaving her way through the mass of people, hands full as she carried a cardboard tray with drinks and brightly colored boxes. “Feeling better?” Hecate set the tray down and handed Pippa a steaming cup of hot chocolate.
“Mmmm….” Pippa breathed in the heavenly scent of the chocolate. “I am now… I just knew you were going to bring back something healthy, like a spinach smoothie or kale chips.” She sipped at the hot chocolate, sending a quick, silent spell to cool it to just the right temperature. “Perfect.” She eyed the colorful packages. “And what other treats did you bring?”
Smirking, Hecate opened the boxes. “Cinnamon roasted pecans – still warm.” She held out the box, her smirk softening into a gentle smile as Pippa plucked out a few pecans and popped them into her mouth.
“Heavenly,” she said, munching. “What else?” The next box was filled with a rainbow of saltwater taffy pieces, wrapped in waxed paper. “Lovely, I’ll save that for later.” She eyed the last box.
“Oh, I’m sure you don’t want what’s in here,” Hecate teased. “Nothing you’d be interested in.”
Pippa batted her eyes furiously, “Please?” Hecate held out for a moment before opening the last box and revealing a tiny mountain of caramel popcorn. Pippa squealed and snatched the entire box off the tray. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” She shoved an entire handful into her mouth, moaning most inappropriately at the sweet, salty crunch. Mouth full, she winked her appreciation at Hecate, winking again when she saw the way it made her blush.
****
It was late when Hecate finally stepped out of her small bathroom, warm and relaxed from the bath, wearing the soft, fluffy robe that she would deny to anyone that she even owned. Walking towards the bed, she spotted an unfamiliar object on her nightstand. Out of habit she looked up, reaching out with her magic to check not only the castle wards, but her personal wards as well. Everything seemed to be in order. Stepping closer she could see that it was a snow globe. Pippa.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, Hecate picked up the snow globe and gave it a twist. Glittering snowflakes swirled around a cluster of ice skaters on a tiny, tree-lined pond. She noticed a key for winding on the base and twisted it, smiling as the melody to “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” began to play. As the music played, the skaters began to move around the pond, spinning and twirling as they circled. Hecate wound it a couple more turns before returning it to the nightstand. She crawled under her covers and rolled onto her side, magicking out the lights before resting her chin on her hand. There was just enough moonlight that she could still see the tiny skaters circling the pond. She fell asleep listening to the music and dreamed of hot chocolate, ice skating, and Pippa.

4. Your favourite weather conditions?
Idk why I read that as condoms at first omg I really am lonely lmao I’m very boring but I just like days where there is a nice breeze and it isn’t very sunny so that I don’t have to wear my sunglasses and can travel without the worry of having a seizure lol
5. What’s your forever childhood jam?
This entire playlist but if I had to pick one song in particular I would say Don’t You Want Me by The Human League because my parents always sang it together when we did karaoke at parties and for whatever reason they always sang the wrong parts so my mum sang the man’s and my dad sang the woman’s XD
6. Favourite disney girl?
Tiana, my hardworking queen <3
7. Would you rather be a fairy or a mermaid?
Fairy! I dressed up as one in Lourdes a few years ago and Mara (@plaisirgrief) even calls me a fairy XD
8. Which language would you love to be fluent in?
Honestly, Irish! Yeah, its not spoken anywhere except for the Gaeltacht areas but I’d love to be able to say I was fluent in it. Would have made school a lot easier hahah but also because it would be very special to me and like a secret language in a way since few people can call themselves fluent in it O.o
9. Favourite Pokemon?
I don’t like Pokemon but Eevee is very close to my nickname Niamhie so I’ll pick her XD
10. Is there a random talent you have?
I’m double jointed in my arms and can clap behind my back and touch my neck and shit but I don’t think its anything special, just handy for washing my back lol. I don’t think I have any talents tbh; I enjoy things but I’m not good enough at them for them to be considered a talent imo >.<
11. Would you rather take a tarantula on your hand or a snake around your neck?
Choke me daddy ughhhh neither??!!? D:

(For the Holidays You Can’t Beat) Home Sweet Home
To: @hardcoreprince
From: @pomegranate-belle
This was some of the fluffiest fluff I have written all year and I hope you like it! Happy holidays!
Ao3
It was 9:23am when Carlos heard the knock on his apartment door. He had been cleaning and gathering ingredients since 7:15 in preparation for that knock, and although two hours and fifteen minutes had certainly seemed like plenty of time at the start of it, the truth was that he was still trying to get everything organized.
With an unopened bag of flour still tucked beneath his left arm, Carlos tugged open the door to reveal Junpei and Akane, both of their faces flushed adorably from the cold. He smiled.
“Hey, guys.”
“Hi Carlos!” Akane chirped.
“Hey,” greeted Junpei with a crooked grin.
“You know, my place is pretty far for you two,” Carlos pointed out, quirking a brow as he leaned against the doorjamb. “Why did we do this here and not at one of your apartments, again?”
“Think of it like… A test run!” Akane said pleasantly, her arms piled high with bags of Hershey kisses.
Carlos laughed.
“What, so if you guys like my kitchen enough you’ll finally move in with me?” he joked as he held the door open for her.
“Pretty much,” agreed Junpei, sweeping past with a massive bowl of chilled cookie dough cradled to his chest.
A glance out at the street revealed that Junpei’s junky red car was still stuffed to bursting with baking supplies. And so, after dropping his sack of flour onto the kitchen table and dropping a kiss on each of his partners’ foreheads, Carlos headed down to the car to help transfer things to his kitchen. Even with all three of them, it took two round trips to get everything. The kitchen was overtaken, and the less messy ingredients like bagged candy, pretzels, and nuts were tossed onto Carlos’s bed to make room. Then the three of them washed their hands carefully.
“You couldn’t convince Maria to join us?” Akane asked as she cleared a space on the table to roll out cookie dough.
Carlos shook his head.
“No. Apparently the Klim family is doing a little holiday baking today too, and Phi invited her over. Can’t compete with that,” he explained with a wink.
“Are they actually dating yet, or are they still fucking around ‘not labeling things’?” wondered Junpei.
“Between you and me, I think Phi might ask her out today,” Carlos said. “With any luck. I’m sure we can trust Sigma to be pushy and embarrassing in our place.”
Then he picked up his bag of flour from before and opened it and began ladling flour onto the table with a measuring cup. Junpei pulled the cookie dough out of Carlos’s fridge and began peeling off the Saran wrap covering it. Meanwhile, Akane dug through one of the boxes and produced a plastic bag of metal cookie cutters.
She unsealed the bag and dumped them on a corner of the table that wasn’t covered in flour.
“That’s quite the collection,” Carlos noted, sifting through the pile. “Bells, wreaths, snowflakes… Are these gingerbread people?”
Side-by -side sat two vaguely humanoid cookie cutters, one of which seemed to be wearing a dress.
“It’ll be great!” Akane enthused. “We can make little cookie people that look like us!”
“I dunno,” said Junpei, studying the cookie cutter critically. “Don’t you think it’s a little disingenuous to make gingerbread people out of sugar cookie dough?”
“What I think is that you two are putting way too much thought into this,” Carlos said with a laugh.
That seemed to end the discussion. With the cookie dough unwrapped, Junpei went to lift it out and onto the table, but when he tried to release it globs stuck stubbornly to his palms.
“Ah, jeez, just—!”
Junpei flailed his hands, trying to shake the dough off.
“And that’s why we use flour, Jumpy,” Akane said primly, her palms already caked in a layer of it.
She carefully took the majority of the dough out of his hands. Though the dough didn’t come off onto her palms in big chunks like it had for Junpei, it still seemed to want to stick to her. Carlos dipped up another half-cup of flour and sprinkled it over the dough. Akane shot him a grateful smile. After coating the rolling pin in flour too, Akane began rolling out the cookie dough.
“Why don’t you two work on the cookies while I start some of the other things?” Carlos suggested.
Then he detoured into his rooms to grab two bags of pretzel rings and two bags of Hershey kisses. While Akane and Junpei cut out sugar cookies and placed them on baking sheets, Carlos set to work filling another with pretzel rings in careful rows. Then he unwrapped the Hershey kisses and set each one in the center of a pretzel. Almost the moment he had filled the tray, the oven dinged to alert him it was preheated.
Popping on a pair of oven mitts, Carlos slid his tray and one of the trays of cookies into the oven. When he turned back to start filling another tray with chocolate and pretzels, he caught sight of a head of brown hair coated liberally in white.
“Junpei,” Carlos said with a fond sigh, “you’ve got flour in your hair.”
“Ughhhh! It’s not my fault it gets everywhere!” complained Junpei, trying and failing to brush it out with his equally floury hand.
After a few seconds of his flailing, Carlos finally took pity on his boyfriend and, from his higher vantage point, ruffled Junpei’s hair until all the flour was out – or at least, as much as would be dislodged without a shower. There was still a faint stain of whiteness in his hair that reminded Carlos of snowflakes.
Smiling softly, Carlos set the microwave timer for two minutes and an egg timer for twenty, and set back to work filling a baking sheet. Two minutes later, the microwave beeped at him insistently and he turned it off, slipping on his oven mitts again.
“Could someone get the M&Ms?” he asked, pulling open the oven door.
“Got it!” cried Akane, wiping her floury hands on her jeans and leaving stark white handprints behind.
She hurried into the bedroom and returned, ripping off a corner of the M&M bag in her hands. Carlos slid the tray from the oven and held it out for Akane, who carefully pressed one M&M into the center of each melted Hershey’s kiss, squishing them flat and filling the small pretzel rings. After the final one was finished, before Carlos could turn away to set the pan on a cooling rack, Akane stretched up and pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose.
Despite himself, Carlos could feel his ears burn with heat at the unexpected kiss. He was comfortable with them, certainly, but having spent so much of his life single and not interested in more, he was still sometimes startled by such displays. While he was distracted, Akane drew a little heart on his cheek with the flour coating her finger. Then she danced away to do the same to Junpei, though he protested halfheartedly while cutting out a sleigh-shaped cookie.
Their morning continued in such a manner, filled with flour and silly kisses and the ding of timers, until at last the dough had all been used up. The chocolate pretzel rings were cooling on the counters, and Carlos was cooking a pot of caramel to coat their homemade Chex mix. Akane had rolled their dough for thumbprint cookies into evenly sized little balls.
It was only then, as Junpei went to gather supplies to mix up frosting for the cookies, that they realized something was missing.
“We forgot the powdered sugar?” groaned Junpei. “No way, I double-checked everything!”
“I don’t have any in the house either,” Carlos added sheepishly from the stove. “And with this much cooking at once I don’t know if we can afford to send someone out to buy more without burning something.”
The three of them fell silent.
“Two choices lie before us,” Akane said solemnly, her eyes closed, though neither of her boyfriends knew if she was truly consulting the morphogenetic field or not. “We could call Aoi for help and potentially invite disaster, or we could not call for help, in which case we will definitely invite disaster.”
Junpei and Carlos glanced at each other, and then back at Akane.
“Uh… I’m going to go with my gut and pick potential disaster over certain disaster,” Carlos replied.
“Ditto,” agreed Junpei.
Akane’s shoulders slumped.
Ten minutes and one embarrassing phone call later, there was a knock on Carlos’s front door.
But when Junpei opened it, instead of Aoi Kurashiki, in through the door stepped Santa Claus with a gray Wal-Mart sack slung over his shoulder.
“Uhhhhhhh…”
Junpei glanced from the Santa Claus in the doorway back to Akane and Carlos to see if they were seeing what he was. By their expressions, they were.
“I heard there was a good little girl around here who needed some baking supplies?” the red-clad stranger asked in a false-deep voice, and Junpei realized that they weren’t dealing with Santa Claus at all, but another Santa entirely.
There was a smack, and Junpei’s eyes darted to Akane again to find her hand pressed to her forehead.
“Ugh, please tell me you didn’t go to the grocery store dressed like that,” she muttered.
Aoi smirked back, though his sister wasn’t even looking at him.
“How else would I go?”
“It’s December fifth, Aoi!”
“I think you mean Christmas fifth,” he retorted, handing off his shopping bag to Carlos.
The bag was rifled through quickly to make sure it contained what they needed, and then set in the kitchen. Instead of rejoining the group, though, Carlos moved past them into his bedroom.
“I do not mean Christmas fifth,” Akane complained, making her way back into the kitchen with Aoi and Junpei on her heels. “Why do you have to be so embarrassing? I’m grown up now, you don’t have to pretend to be Santa anymore, you weirdo.”
“You know, Akane,” said Aoi, “insulting Santa Claus is a good way to get coal in your stocking. You might have to shift to a different timeline to get any presents.”
“How about I shift to a timeline where you’re not so annoying?” Akane huffed.
“Good luck finding one.”
Aoi and Junpei startled at having spoken in unison, then shared a quick fistbump. Akane groaned piteously.
“Please just take the beard off,” she said to Aoi. “I’m begging you. God is begging you. The entire morphogenetic field is begging you.”
“It’s not in the spirit of Christmas to ask Santa to take off his beard.”
“Aoi…!”
“No, no,” he protested. “Call me Santa!”
“You are the worst!”
Aoi planted his hands on his hips.
“If I was the worst, would I have brought you that powdered sugar you needed?” he asked, taunting his sister by shaking his head to wave his fake beard at her.
Akane puffed her cheeks out angrily. And then she shoved him.
“Whoa—!”
Aoi toppled backwards with a yelp.
Luckily for him, Carlos stepped back into the kitchen just in time to catch him under the arms.
“Hi Carlos,” Aoi said, looking up at Carlos with a grin that even the floofy fake beard couldn’t hide.
“Hey!” Akane protested. “No flirting with my boyfriends! I never flirt with your dates!”
Aoi didn’t deign to give that claim a verbal response. Instead, he leveled Akane with the flattest stare he could manage while wearing a Santa costume and still half-draped against Carlos. Akane glanced away, and had the decency to look a bit ashamed of herself.
A loud beep filled the kitchen.
“That was one time,” she muttered, turning back to get the paper bag of caramel Chex mix out of the microwave. “And she was really cute.”
Akane shook the bag violently, pretending it was her brother. Setting Aoi upright, Carlos cleared his throat and placed the bag of pecans he’d gone to get on the counter. As he did, his eyes glanced over the microwave’s digital clock, and he did a double-take. It read 1:03pm.
“It’s that late already?” he murmured.
Then Junpei was at his shoulder looking too.
“No wonder I’m starving. We should break for lunch.”
On cue, Akane and Aoi’s stomachs growled loudly. Junpei laughed.
“Want to join us for lunch, Aoi?” offered Carlos.
He shrugged in response.
“What’re you guys having?” he asked.
A glance around the kitchen told them all that, whatever it was, it wouldn’t be homemade.
“We can just order something from that burger place downtown,” suggested Junpei. “Cheap, quick, convenient. I don’t really care as long as I get food.”
“Oh, I want their crispy chicken sandwich!” Akane said. “But no tomato. And a small order of French fries?”
“They got wraps there, right? I’ll just take one of those with chicken in it, I guess,” Aoi added.
“Double cheeseburger and fries,” said Junpei.
Carlos nodded, rubbing his chin.
“They still have that burger with the swiss cheese and the mushrooms, don’t they? That sounds good to me, so I guess we’re all in agreement. But who should go order?”
“I’ll go get it, you lovebirds keep cooking,” Aoi insisted.
“No!” Akane raced past him and blocked the door, her arms spread wide. “No way! You’re not going out there dressed like that again!”
“And are you going to stop me, little sister?”
“Yes!”
The argument only devolved from there, into childish insults and mocking nicknames. Junpei watched with interest, nibbling on a leftover pretzel stick that hadn’t made it into the Chex mix. He didn’t seem to be in any hurry to intervene. Which, Carlos realized, meant it was up to him.
“I’ll go,” he said, then louder when the bickering siblings didn’t hear him. “Hey! I’ll go.”
“I will take the ring to Mordor,” Junpei stage-whispered in falsetto.
Carlos bit his lip to cover up a smile.
“Seriously. I’ll get the food, you two,” he said, placing a hand on each of the Kurashikis’ shoulders. “Just keep going with the thumbprint cookies for me, alright?”
Twenty minutes of work later, the caramel Chex mix was drying on wax paper, the small batch of thumbprint cookies had all been baked and thumbprinted, and the chocolate pretzel rings were boxed up in the fridge. Aoi had just finished pulling a tray of sugar cookies out of the oven when Carlos returned with a huge paper bag in his arms.
“Sorry I took so long,” he apologized. “The line was huge.”
“Just gimme the food,” Junpei replied, making grabby hands.
Aoi stripped off the Santa Claus beard at last, so he didn’t end up getting food in it.
“Let’s see…” said Carlos, digging through the massive paper sack and pulling out meals. “A crispy chicken sandwich for Akane, hold the tomato. A double cheeseburger for Junpei. A chicken salad wrap for Aoi… And a mushroom swiss burger for me.”
Akane went up on her tiptoes, peering into the bag.
“And one, two, three orders of fries,” she counted, pulling out her own little box of French fries. “That’s everything.”
Satisfied that everything was as it should be, they settled in to eat.
“Trade you a bite of my sandwich for a bite of yours,” Akane bartered five minutes into lunch, holding out her half-eaten chicken sandwich.
“Tempting,” Junpei replied sarcastically. “Unfortunately, I am already too… Chicken.”
The pun, paired with Junpei’s deadpan expression, caught Carlos so off guard that he snorted soda up his nose and started coughing.
Thankfully that was the only mishap, and once they had all finished eating and thrown their trash in the garbage can, Akane lugged Carlos’s mixer onto the table and started mixing up the frosting. It took several adjustments to get the balance of powdered sugar and milk right for the perfect frosting consistency, but in the end everyone was satisfied with it.
“And now,” declared Akane as she lifted the spatula in the air, “we frost!”
“What colors should we do?” Carlos asked.
“We have to have red and green!”
“Blue,” suggested Junpei, digging through the tiny box of food coloring for Akane’s picks and his own. “And yellow.”
“White,” Aoi said. “You should just leave some plain.”
Carlos nodded, accepting the little bottles from Junpei.
“And what about brown?” he asked.
The other three paused, and then looked at him with equally skeptical expressions.
“Who wants to eat brown frosting?” Junpei demanded, sticking out his tongue.
“But, you know it… I mean… For reindeer and tree trunks and stuff…?” fumbled Carlos.
Akane squinted at him. There was definitely something weird… Carlos could be a hell of an actor, but he also wasn’t good at keeping secrets from the people closest to him. What kind of secret he could have involving the color of frosting was beyond her, but something told her it would be a good surprise so she didn’t ruin it by trying to take a glance downstream in the timeline.
“That makes sense!” she chirped instead.
There was no brown food coloring, of course, so in the end they mixed a few different colors to get it. Carlos was oddly specific about the shade he wanted, and Akane reminded herself very firmly not to cheat with her ESPer powers.
Once five bowls of frosting had been mixed with color and the sixth left plain, Carlos rummaged around in his lower cupboards and pulled out a box filled with white piping bags, plastic rings, and metal tips. Quickly and efficiently, Carlos fitted six bags with the icing tips and secured them with the plastic couplers.
“Wait, you actually have piping bags?” Junpei asked. “What are you, a cooking channel chef?”
“How do you think I frosted Maria’s birthday cake?” retorted Carlos, spooning a glop of red frosting into the bag.
“Uh, I thought you bought it, like a normal person.”
Nonetheless, Junpei pitched in by filling another bag with green frosting. Akane grabbed a spoon and helped out with blue, while Aoi, predictably, filled another piping bag with white frosting. With all four of them working, all six colors were soon bagged and ready to frost with.
“Gonna help us frost cookies, Santa?” Junpei asked with a smirk.
Aoi snorted.
“No way in hell, I’m out. Santa eats cookies, he doesn’t make ‘em. I did my part and now I’m gonna go home and hibernate.”
With a quick half-hug around Akane’s shoulders and a wave for her boyfriends, Aoi was out the door with his Santa Claus beard in hand.
“I’d file that under not-disaster, I think,” Carlos said optimistically.
Akane gave an irritated huff, but made no verbal protest. Then she, Junpei, and Carlos sat down to begin frosting the sugar cookies.
Only a few minutes in, it was clear that the task would not be as easy as it sounded.
“Will it just…! Oh, come on!” Akane muttered, swiping another glob of yellow frosting off the tip of the icing bag with a finger after it refused to stick to the cookie.
Moodily, she stuck the finger in her mouth and ate the frosting off so it didn’t go to waste or make a mess. Junpei, sitting across from her, wasn’t doing much better. But instead of trying to get his designs as pretty as possible like Akane, he had embraced his lack of icing skill and just scribbled lines of blue across several of the cookies nearest him. Carlos, of course, was completely in his element, which Akane found particularly unfair. Still, even he had to occasionally scrape clumping frosting off the tip of his piping bag.
“We definitely made too many cookies,” Junpei groaned after a full hour, massaging his cramping hand. “We’ll never finish frosting them all.”
“If you need a break, you could take the red and start filling the thumbprints,” suggested Carlos. “The red frosting is kind of thin,” he gestured at the cookies with red frosting oozing off them and onto the plastic tablecloth, “so it should be the easiest to use.”
With a worn-out sigh, Junpei got to his feet and picked up the piping bag with the red frosting. But he didn’t complain as he started to fill the divots in the pecan-speckled cookies – Carlos had been right, it was easier. His fingers were still sore from trying to squeeze the blue frosting onto the sugar cookies earlier, but the ache started to ebb. And standing at the counter with the cooling rack full of thumbprint cookies gave him the perfect vantage for looking at his boyfriend and girlfriend. Akane, who faced him straight on, had a cute and familiar concentrated look on her face, the tip of her tongue peeking out of the corner of her mouth. And from the side he got a view of Carlos’s forearms, bared by his rolled-up sleeves and flexing as he worked. Junpei grinned.
Ok, he thought, maybe this was worth a little ache in his hands.
It didn’t take long to finish up with the thumbprint cookies, and Junpei settled back down between Carlos and Akane and dutifully continued frosting sugar cookies.
The next time any of them looked at a clock, it was after 7:00pm.
Carlos sighed, leaning back from the table.
“We should eat supper,” he murmured.
“Ehh, I’m not really hungry,” Junpei admitted.
“Me either,” said Akane. “I guess we’ve been snacking all evening, so…”
In truth, they all just wanted to be done. Seeming to realize this, everyone returned to frosting – this time with a little less creativity and finesse. Carlos even ate a few unfrosted cookies as he worked just to trim down the number they had to finish.
When the final cookie, a bell, was frosted, all three let out a sigh of relief and stood to stretch.
“That… Was a lot of cookies,” Junpei sighed.
Carlos nodded in agreement.
“Maybe next year we only need a half batch of dough.”
“But we did such a good job!” offered Akane. “We should at least take some time to admire them and show each other our favorites.”
Junpei smiled indulgently, leaning back into Carlos’s chest as the blond slung an arm around his shoulders.
“Why don’t you go first then, Kanny? Since it’s your idea.”
Akane gestured to a small forest of green tree cookies in one corner of the table, covered in red and blue garlands and yellow stars.
“Look how good they got!” she said proudly.
“That’s really something,” agreed Junpei, looking impressed.
“Yeah, they’re great!” Carlos said with a smile. “You picked up icing pretty quick, Akane.”
She beamed at them both.
“How about you, Jumpy?”
In reply, he leaned forward and pulled out a cookie from the lineup with a flourish. It was splattered with blue and white frosting in a seemingly random pattern.
“Uh… What is that?” Akane wondered.
“It’s a Funyarinpa, Kanny,” Junpei explained impatiently.
Akane squinted and tilted her head, trying to find any familiarity in the scribbles of icing.
“If you say so Jumpy,” she said at last.
“I think I can see it,” Carlos told them. “It looks good, Junpei. The frosting is really even.”
They all stared down at the Funyarinpa cookie for a few more seconds, thoughtfully.
“And which ones are your favorites, Carlos?” asked Akane.
At that, he moved closer to the table, blocking the cookies from view. After a little bit of shuffling, Carlos stepped out of the way to show the other two.
“Taadaa?” he said with a shrug, splaying his hands.
“Ohhhh, Carlos, they’re so cute!” exclaimed Akane, clapping and bouncing on her toes.
There, in a line, sat three gingerbread-person sugar cookies, carefully frosted. The first had several streaks of brown hair and a grumpy face; it wore a red shirt with a blue vest and blue pants. The second cookie-person was the kind wearing a dress. It also had brown hair, though it fell over the front of its little cookie shoulder in a ponytail, and its face was neutral, almost thoughtful. It wore a white dress with a brown belt, and blue pants underneath. The last cookie had yellow hair, a smiling face, and a simple green shirt with blue pants.
“Of course you blew the rest of us out of the water,” Junpei scoffed, but he was smiling too.
Together they packed up all the cookies into Tupperware and put them into the fridge so they wouldn’t get stale, then bagged the Chex mix. Though there were still plenty of baking supplies and tools scattered around, the kitchen looked kind of empty without the results of their work laid out everywhere.
The glowing numbers on the microwave clock told them it was 9:35pm.
“You can go, if you want to,” Carlos said, suddenly a little hesitant. “I’ll clean this up in the morning, it shouldn’t take too long, so you don’t have to stay if—”
“There’s no way in hell I’m driving home tonight,” Junpei declared.
And so, with floury stains all over their clothes and hands tinted by smears of colorful frosting, the three of them piled into Carlos’s bed for a good night’s sleep.
“… Love you,” Carlos said quietly, in lieu of a goodnight.
A soft yawn filled the air.
“We’re gonna move in,” Akane answered.
“Mmm,” agreed Junpei. “Yeah. But you have to cook breakfast. That’s what firefighters do.”
Too tired to laugh fully, Carlos just let out an amused whuff of air, smiling.
“It’s a deal.”

Aaron Judge Imagine R
"I can't wait for today!" I screamed happily. aaron planned a romantic picnic on the beach for us tonight. He wanted to watch the stars. I kept thinking to myself not to act like a total geek and creep because this is my dream date I've always wanted to go on. aaron and I have been dating for a while now but he never officially asked me to be his girlfriend. I don't know if I am his girlfriend or not because we do act like a couple. I really like aaron and usually I never get so close to people but with him it's different. I knew from the moment I saw him I'd be happy.
"Knock knock" aaron's here I smiled really hard and tried to tone my face down but I couldn't. I opened the door to see perfectly brown eyes staring right at Me. aaron then pulls me in a hug and say "hey baby ready to go." "Yeah let me just get my bag." I go into the living room grab my bag and head out the door. We get into aaron's car and he drives to the beach. He grabs my hand and locks them in his and plants kisses on the back here and there. He would look over a couple of times with an admiring look on his face. I couldn't help but blush.
We finally made it to the beach. He parks the car and gets out and tells me to wait. He then runs over and opens the door for me. "Such a gentlemen you are" "only the best for you Y/N." aaron then closes the door and wrap his arms around me from behind. He then moves his hand toward my face and ties something around my eyes making me not able to see. "aaron what are you doing" "shhhh it's okay I have a surprise for you just trust me" I hold onto aaron tight while he directs me toward the beach. He guides me into the sand somewhere. He then stops moving and removes the blindfold. When I opened my eyes I started crying. In front of me was rose pedals all over the ground spelling out "Will you be my girlfriend" in the middle was a blanket with Pizza and chocolates. I was so happy I just started crying. aaron then hugs me and says "I'm sorry did I do something to upset you I just wanted to make you happy." I look at him and kiss him and say "I'm not crying because I'm sad I'm crying because I'm so happy."
"Ohhhhh so Y/N will you be my girlfriend." "Yes yes yes yes a thousand times yes" aaron laughs and pulls me toward the blanket. aaron wraps his arms around my waist pulling me into his warmth. I nodded and nuzzled up against his shoulder to get comfortable. He opened the box and Pizza and said "you hungry." "Im starving." I grab a slice of pizza and practically swallowed all of it in one bite. aaron was staring so I blushed and stopped eating I didn't want him to think I was greedy or fat. I try to avoid his look feeling embarrassed. He then puts his slice of pizza down and grabs me and puts me into his lap In a straddling position. I didn't want to look at him but he grabs my face and turns it toward him. He then says "don't be embarrassed your beautiful, and I love you just the way you are." "You, you love me." I stuttered "Yes Y/N I love you and it's okay if you don't love ......" He couldn't finished his sentenced because I leaned in to kiss him. I wrap my arms around his neck and his goes around my waist. His lips were so soft and warm they were comforting. I pulled back and said "I love you too" he then leans in again and places 2 pecks on my lips. aaron then gets up and pulls me with him. He picks me up and start running toward the water. I scream for him to let me go but he kept running next thing I know I'm being plunged into freezing cold salt water. aaron through me in. He then jumps in with me and starts splashing water on me. We start to have a water fight that ends up leading to a makeout session. After about a half hour we get out and go back to the blanket. We were about to eat the chocolates but a security comes and kicks us out.
We ran back to the car with all our stuff so we wouldn't get In trouble. We were laughing and having so much fun. aaron drives me home and I become sad cause I didn't want tonight to end. When he parks in front of my house. I hop into the drivers seat and straddle him. “Y/n what are you......" Before he could finish I lean in and kiss him. Our lips moved in sink and it was getting heated. aaron then Insert his tongue in my mouth and swirl it around. I felt that aaron was getting a bit happy. I then pull away and say "my roommate isn’t home and we still haven't finished those chocolates. We don't want them to go to waste." I then open aaron's door and climb out walking all sexily toward the door just so he can come in. He gets out the car grabs the chocolate and make his way in my house. Before we can get fully in the house aaron pins me against the wall and start to nibble and suck on my neck. He wraps my legs around his waist and we were kissing for so long. He picks me up and whispers in my ear all huskily "where's your bedroom." That turned me on so much. I tell him 3 doors down to the right. After I tell him that he places his lips back on mines and walk down the hall. Once we've reached my room he through me on my bed and removed his shirt. I couldn't help but stare and admire his perfectly toned body. He smirks and hops on the bed and on top of me. He starts to nibble at my ear and say "you like what you see." That made me go crazy. I needed him now.
aaron removes my shirt and bites his lips to see my C cup bra. He then asks if it was ok for him to remove my bra. And I say yeah.
He bit his lips and gripped my left boob and sucked on the right one. I work my hands down to his pants and unbuckle it. He then stops what he doing and removes his pants leaving nothing but his boxers. He also removes my pants leaving only my panties. He then leans down and kisses my lips then my neck then my chest down to my stomach. He stops right at my panty line and looks up at me with those adorable brown eyes. I nod for him to continue. He then pulls down my panties and start to rub at my clit. "Your so wet" he says while sliding his fingers all around your clit." I couldn't help but moan and wiggle wanting more. He then leans down and starts to nibble on my folds and clit. He then inserted his tongue in me while using his hand to rub around my clit. I started moaning loudly asking for more. "aaron ahhh I ahhh need ahhh you now ahhh." I could barely finish a sentence with all the pleasure aaron was giving me. He then comes up and kisses me on the lips. I then flip him over and get on top of him. "It's my turn to pleasure you." I move down and remove his boxers. His member flopped straight up and it was huge. My eyes widen how was that going to fit in Me. I then wrap my hands around him and he moaned. I started moving my hands up and down. "I need more Y/N." I then wrap my lips around him and start to suck him. He was grunting and moaning. I try to go at a steady pace but aaron grabs my head and moves it up and down. He starts to thrust into my mouth faster and faster added more of him in me then I could handle. I started chocking but he was so into it he just kept going. A tear slid down my face he then stopped and said I need to be in you now. He gets on top of me. And just fully thrust into me. I screamed out in pain. aaron then stopped and looked at me with so much concern and says "im so sorry baby I didn't mean too." You say it's okay just go slow. aaron then moves in and out of me really slow. It was painful but soon started feeling good. "Ahhhh aaron go faster." aaron then picked up his pace and went a lot faster. You two moaned and grunted. "Ughhhh Y/N your so tight I'm gonna cum." After another five minutes you and aaron both cummed. After he explodes in you he falls to the side of you and wraps his arms around your waist. "That was amazing baby." "I love you aaron." "I love you too Y/N." After all of that fun you and aaron fell asleep wrapped in each others arms.
