Heat Waves

Pt 1 here.

Cw: ask to tag. Hurt/comfort

Only mutuals okay to rb

Summary: John finally acts on the need hes been having for years.

Taglist: @mercuryships @80sboyfriends @tex-treasures @malewifehenrycooldown

A mistake, thats all he made. One moment he reacted a bit too slow.

"But nobody was hurt..." homelander thought " then why are they hating me so much...?"

In the corporate world you cant make mistakes... is what they told him.

All the news were the same. Hate upon hate and hate directed towards him.

The reporters Didnt even hesitate to light a Fire under his ass. He was devastated.

Its late at night now, the hate has not died down even a little bit.

John tried to hold back tears as he got ready to head out, putting a jacket over himself and covering his face with the hood of it.

Coming out of the back entrance of his appartment complex he made his way towards Jericos house. His safe heaven from the shitstorm that was raining on him.

The last tumbler slotted into place with a "click" sound as he entered the appartment. Even though its been years she still let him have her keys. He chuckled sadly at the thought.

Suddenly a bolt of energy misses him by a milimiter, he was so scared that the hood Fell back to its original place.

--La puta madre!-- John heard jerico exclaim-- John you absolute fucking idiot! Dont scare me like that!

--I- im sorry-- he stuttered closing the door behind him and locking it-- I forgot to text ...

Jeri sighed biting back a sassy comment, she had seen everything that happened, she didnt want him to feel worse-- c'mon dinner's ready

He nodded, relieved that she didnt ask why he was there, he figured that she already knew, but he appreciated she didnt ask about it, he didnt feel like talking.

He set the table without anyone asking him to do it, the air of her home was tranquil, warm and soft.

--Did your favorite-- She commented serving a Plate of his favorite meal.

--I...thank you, you just know how to cheer a guy up huh?-- he joked, the sadness brushing off of him a little.

--Well I know how to make my best friend happy-- she joked back.

John stopped dead in his tracks. "Best friend" she still considered him her best friend. He choked back a sob as he kept eating.

--Youre too kind to me-- he finally said, his voice strained.

--John...-- she trailes off softly, grabbing his hand-- I....still care about you, even with all the years and things that happened...

--Why arent you hating me like the rest?-- he asked mildly angry. Not at her.

--'cause I accept something the others dont...and something that you dont accept either...-- jerico sighed-- Youre still human, John..., Wether you like it or not, for better or worse, youre still human

--Im invencible, I can fly and shoot lasers out of my eyes -- He sassed-- what part of that seems human?

--Well I dont see you walkin' around with a third eye or an extra limb Now, do I?-- Jeri said back with a cheeky smile-- youre right, you have powers but that makes you super human. But human nonetheless...

--I hate that youre right...-- homelander muttered.

--Look, John, just hear me out... ive known you since we were kids, just two rascals painting dumb graffties on the principales car and eating pizza like the world was going to end..., a mistake wont change my perception of you, John, Ive known you before you became homelander, and Wether you like it or not i can see through you..., I know theres something more. Just...tell me please...dont do this to yourself because I cant stand seeing you like this. --She made a pause-- I still care about you... I do every day, when youre John Vogelbaum, the wild patriotic kid that defended the other kids at school or homelander the patriotic superhero..., 'cause truth is...I still love you, every part of you, even those you cant stand to see...

Homelander has tears Rolling down his cheeks, hes silent, only some sobbing is heard from him-- Why do you have to be so fucking sweet, he grabs his hand and makes her walk towards him, hes still seated as he buries his head on her chest, letting her hands caress his hair-- after all these years. The things ive done, you still let me Keep the keys to your house, you let me stay at your appartment and make dinner for me like we are a couple..., what have I done to deserve you...?!-- he shouted against her skin.

--Just...being yourself John, your true self-- she muttered back, sniffing.

--Can we still make up?-- he asked absolutely broken.

--We can, we absolutely can John-- she smiled-- I wont ask anything of you...

--I know but I want to show you that im being serious...so-- he looked up with the most determined look she has ever seen him with.-- im going to pack my shit and come to live with you, im going to quit vought and--

--John! John! Baby slow down!-- jeri said grabbing him by the shoulder-- are you being serious?

He nodded looking up at her-- Deadly

--Are you sure?-- she asked again

--I am, dont worry-- he cupped her cheeks.

--yknow me...thats my job..-- she said back with teary eyes.

--I know...but if I cant even make a mistake that wasnt that serious in the first place without getting a shitstorm thrown my way... then fuck them-- Homelander stated-- fuck them, youre the only one in my life that has loved me for who I am...and its taken me this long to realize that..and im sorry... but I want to make things right by you, I... I love you

Jerico started crying with the biggest smile he has ever seen her with, in his joy he doesnt think it twice before kissing her and pulling her into his lap, both laughing in the kiss.

The Next day he packed up his things and moved with her, selling what he didnt need anymore.

--Im just glad youre here-- John said after resigning his job at Vought.

--im always going to be here for you -- jeri said with a smile.

--I know...-- he squeezed her hand and pressed his forehead against hers-- I know...

After that day Homelanders life was happier, the happiest it has ever been for a while.

There he was now, dancing awkwardly at south american songs with his beloved best friend now girlfriend, both laughing while the kept an eye on the oven.

--I think its safe to say that im not homelander anymore-- John stated-- I am John Vogelbaum, nice to meet you miss?

--Jerico Castro-- jeri said shaking his hand with a smile.

He pulled her in for a hug, smiling as she tried to hug back, her arms barely hooking around his back.

This was the life he deserved. This was the life that he wanted. And she was the woman he wanted most in his life.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy (2011)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

If Mortal Kombat: Legacy writer, director and producer Kevin Tancharoen sees my score for this movie, he'd surely object. “Come on, Adam! This isn’t a movie; it’s a YouTube series meant to lead into a game! It doesn’t belong on your movie blog!” He'd be partially right. This has no business calling itself a “movie”, but nobody told the distributors. I did not find this… anthology (?) film online. I found it on Blu-ray, packaged together with Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihiliation. How was I supposed to know that my next 90 or so minutes would be spent with a “story” that has no protagonist, plot or resolution?

Serving as a prequel to the 1992 arcade classic, Mortal Kombat: Legacy follows Sonya (Jeri Ryan), Kano (Darren Shahlavi), Raiden (Ryan Robbins), Johnny Cage (Matt Mullins), Scorpion (Ian Anthony Dale), Shao Khan (Aleks Paunovic), Kitana (Samantha Jo), her twin Mileena (Jolene Tran), Cyrax (Shane Warren Jones), Sektor (Peter Shinkoda) and others on their way to Mortal Kombat, a tournament that will decide the fate of our world.

Some of the criticisms I had as the picture began I’m going to declare moot. The special effects are so-so but considering this is a YouTube film, they’re impressive. While the camerawork in the first two segments make the action look phony, that’s the exception. Overall, the cinematography is well done and the action easy to follow and engaging. For those who know the Mortal Kombat lore and have always wanted more, this is what you’ve been wanting for. Sorta. I’ve never played the games but I have seen the other films. I thought this would be enough. I was wrong. Kitana has a twin sister, who’s actually her clone, but it’s half the same species as her, and half demon and then Kitana’s mother committed suicide so she could transplant her soul into her daughter. It doesn’t make much sense to me. More than once, backstories are needlessly convoluted. Almost as if these characters were just concepts thrown into a game with a thin story and were never meant to be developed further…

Some of the segments nevertheless work alright as mini stories. Others, not so much. The story of Jax, Sony & Kano is nothing but a barrage of action clichés, while the single animated segment, the story of Kitana and Mileena sticks out like a sore thumb. Then there’s the Raiden segment, which is preceeded by a message from Tancharoen. He explains why this story isn’t part of the normal continuity of Mortal Kombat. If they were worried fans would go ballistic over a tweaking of their beloved characters, why tweak it? Actually, I think it’s one of the best stories, as it feels genuinely inspired instead of a fanboy’s rendition like so many of the others do.

Things get real nutty, the mythology is this soup of random threads and the performances vary in quality. Matt Mullins as Johnny Cage entertains thoroughly. His story is the one that has a genuine – and welcome – sense of humor about itself. Ultimately, however, this is a big letdown because you have 9 episodes… which lead to NOTHING. I know there’s a second season, but what kind of series doesn’t have a climax? It sows seeds which never grow and, since none of the non-two parter stories connect with each other, it doesn’t matter in what order you watch these or even if you miss half of them.

I wouldn’t be as harsh but I watched Mortal Kombat: Legacy on Blu-ray with no warning. I know not everyone will have the same reaction as me, but I'm sure many will be just as stunned as I when Mortal Kombat: Legacy abruptly ends. Hopefully if this does interest you, your experience with it is better than mine. (On Blu-ray, October 6, 2018)

[technoturian]

I finally finished Picard. I enjoyed about 80% of it but felt like it stumbled at the final hurdle, tbh. My main issues below...

- For a show that started with Picard and Data, it felt like the show’s main emotional line was Data/Picard and Soji/Data and that it would connect Data and Soji as strongly as it started to do with Dahj before she died. But then after they left the Troi-Rikers it felt like Data was completely absent from the story and it became not about who Soji is as a person but who Soji is as a synthetic, a basic “synthetics vs. organics” argument rather than about what makes a person alive and an individual and what made Soji in particular so special. Soji became less about being Data’s daughter and more about being part of Soong’s collective of synthetics.

It was so muddled what the message even was beyond that very surface level debate, to the point where Soong found out his daughter killed one of her own he goes, “they’re just as bad as us” -- once again lumping them all together -- and chooses to “switch sides” and stop them by force. Instead of, y’know, *talking* to the rest of his children after the one individual that was clearly evil and influencing them was out of the way.

If anyone had told Soji that Narek hadn’t been the one to kill Saga, wouldn’t it have been much easier to convince her? But that would’ve undercut the big fight and their big message that.. to be honest just didn’t make sense to me at all. Soji felt completely lost as a character the second the homeworld entered the picture. Suddenly she knew things and felt things because the story needed her to.

- And let’s talk about this clearly evil android sister of hers. Why does she look just like Soji except because of all the heavy handed twin metaphors? I thought that face was like... specifically designed by Data in his painting? I’m so confused. I’m incredibly confused about the timeline of events at this point. And I’m confused as to why the Data-like androids are so capable of emotion and obviously far superior to Data, but Data could not be rebuilt. I’m confused as to why Soji and Dahj were made, superior even to these new androids, and then mindwiped and shoved off to chase shadows rather than just getting some actual humans to do that spying and protecting these incredibly precious creations. I’m confused as to why no others like Soji and Dahj were made afterwards. I’m confused as to how Narek and the others even heard about Soji or Dahj without knowing where they came from, yet they were certain there were more like them (spoiler, there weren’t even more like them, so why did Narek’s group have that impression?).

- Speaking of Narek, what even happened to him at the end? Did I just miss it? I’ve been waiting this whole show for his boring manipulative ass to die, please don’t tell me they’re going to try to bring him back. I don’t need a discount CW Romulan “I did murders but I also cried so I’m sympathetic” Kylo Ren who thinks having a British accent and a leather jacket is the same as having a personality showing up AGAIN and sucking the air out of MORE scenes.

- There were a lot of things that felt unearned in the last episode, but Picard’s “death” is a big one. Riker just goes “Okay bye!” and then Picard dies and they’re playing it off like this old man dying surrounded by his loved ones but as much as they tried to build it up with all of those goodbyes, he met half of them like a week ago. His second in command for years just nopes out of the scene so some kid he read Dumas to once over a decade ago can be the family in this situation? This is supposed to feel meaningful and earned? It wasn’t. It would have been better earned if it had been solely between Soji and Picard, as they had invested most in this relationship, and them ‘having each other’, and yet the idea of Soji finding belonging with Picard was practically thrown by the wayside in those last two episodes to ask “bigger” but less emotionally satisfying questions about her status as a synthetic. So in what should be the most emotional scene in the entire season, he just dies with a half-hearted “aww, you guys” to the new team and I felt... not much. And then it doesn’t even count! And then we’re having a funeral, but now it’s for Data? The same Data who y’all forgot to even talk about during most of that synthetics vs. organics dialogue??? It was nice to see Data again, but completely unearned by the events of the episode.

- Speaking of unearned... This show’s handling of its ‘romances’ is abysmal. It’s kind of sad that Agnes and Rios are the romance with the most buildup simply by virtue of the two of them actually having a FULL conversation with one another before making out. I really disliked Agnes and Rios in the end, partially because I don’t think they adequately built it up (even though like I said, it’s sadly the relationship they put the most effort into building), but also partially because I selfishly want Rios to die so Picard can captain and we can just have more of the great hologram Rioses because they’re way more fun. And also I love holograms more than people. Blame the Holodoc.

Soji/Narek was cringe-inducing garbage, an absolutely artless manipulation from a guy with zero charisma whose entire existence depends on him seducing a girl and him doing so by being evasive, distant and moody. Just the worst. And somehow that makes her like him instead of running for the hills, because he throws in the odd non-sequitur love confession two days into their relationship.

I thought Maddox was Agnes’ father in that old vid until she kissed him and that was. Woof. That was a real gross brain switch. In any case, not a fan, but I will say MAYBE this relationship should really earn the ‘most developed’ title because they were actually in a relationship. And she literally murdered him.

And don’t get me started on Seven and Raffi coyly threading fingers together in the final scene after, to my recollection, not even having a single conversation together??? Why do this? Why? *Why* do this. If you wanted to get them together but you know you’ve done no work on it, save it for a possible second season or *don’t do it at all*. Seven and Raffi being randomly paired off at the end made me wonder why they didn’t just throw in Soji/Elnor too for the whole set. Raffi/Agnes is more believable than Seven/Raffi because at least she gave her cake. Seven/Rios is more believable because they had that one shoe-horned heart-to-heart.

While we’re talking about alternate pairings, I personally think they all should be paired off with a member of Rios’ holosuite. Including Picard. INCLUDING RIOS. Because Santiago Cabrera is too hot for words and there are SIX of him on that ship.

- Another reason Seven/Raffi being thrown together was kind of infuriating to me is it felt the same as the scene where she said she had no one, and basically any scene that was like “Seven is completely alone and adrift and THIS is her new family! Just forget that she’s only had one random heart-to-heart with Rios and a few cute dialogues with Elnor and other than that absolutely no contact with any of these people.”

Where the heck are the rest of the Voyager crew? Okay, so nobody liked Chakotay with Seven. Okay, so Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan didn’t get along so it would be unlikely to ever see them together on-screen. But Janeway literally loved Seven so much she rewrote time just to save her life or whatever that series finale was about. The Doctor, who knows *exactly* how it feels to be disenfranchised and dehumanized, is her best friend. Naomi Freakin’ Wildman who Seven called family who would absolutely have been there for her if she needed her. Why did they make her so sad and throw away all the rest of Voyager’s crew to do it?

I loved a lot of the stuff with Seven more than I thought I would after some of the things I’ve heard. But when I read someone say how “sad” they’d made her life, I have to agree. And mashing her into this crew at the end without putting in the time to show how she can fit aside from a few scenes with Elnor feels wrong and sloppy. If anything I would’ve liked her to leave with the borg at the end and then she could make another amazing grand entrance near the beginning of season two. Because basically the best things about Seven in this show were her kicking in the door scenes.

Fantasy hospital cafeteria AU

What is this story? Necromancers, magic ladies, and nameless, faceless mentors? And uneaten sausage links? Yes. Yes it is.

They meet for … lunch. Or breakfast. Or supper. Something. Whatever meal occurs at 1:45am, after 7 hours of a shift with 6 more to come. They meet in the cafeteria, in a secluded corner, and keep their voices low. They meet once a week, when their schedules are compatible. More if they can. Less when they have to. Never less than once every month. She won’t let him go more than once every month. She is married, and he is young and handsome, but nobody pays them any mind, nobody whispers in stairwells or behind supply room doors.

She has a trick to help with that.

She has coffee in her hands, and he has a plate of sausage in front of him. He is miserable, and won’t eat. “I did it again,” he confesses, and then he sighs, and drops his face into his hands. “I brought them back.”

“Mm.” She sips her coffee, dark eyes calm and neutral. She watches him slump and let his hands fall, and push his sausage links around for a minute. She doesn’t flinch when he has a sudden outburst.

“But that’s the point, isn’t it?!” He looks up to her, imploring, black-brown eyes wide and worried. “I got into this because I wanted to - to help, to bring them back! I wanted to do what I’m doing!”

She nods, and a tendril of her steely-gray hair falls from her prim ponytail. “It’s isn’t always a bad thing. What happened this time?”

He groans. “She was dead. Stiff as a board, probably had been dead for hours. Her wife found her when she woke up. I started - you know, you have to start CPR even if you think they’re gone because that’s what they tell you, but then.” He runs a hand over his hair. “She had kids! Two little kids! They had to be like, five and eight, and I could hear them crying and I was just doing compressions this time, Ami, I swear I didn’t say a word and then whoop there it went.” He threw his hands up. “She took a big breath, opened her eyes …”

“Hm.” Ami nodded and stirred another sugar into her coffee. “You were emotional.”

“Oh, so I’m not supposed to have feelings, now?” He scowls. “Anyway, I brought her back. Resuscitation. The neurologists are calling the rigor post-hypoxia myoclonus or something. I dunno.”

“They’re having a hard time explaining why a woman with a massive aneurysm rupture and a skull full of blood is talking.” She sits back and crosses her legs. “There is a difference, Eric, between resuscitation and what you do. She will notice, eventually. Hopefully not before anybody else does.” She arches an eyebrow, delicately. “I will have my work cut out for me with this one. Kids, Eric.” She checks her watch. “You didn’t save them, you know.”

He hunched down, looked very small in his jumpsuit, untouched breakfast or lunch or whatever in front of himself. “They still have their mom.”

“Who will, eventually, have a thirst for flesh and an absence of a heartbeat. Plain death is easier to explain.” She finishes the rest of her coffee, and sets the empty cup on his tray. “I will fix it. Again.” The look she gives him is severe. “You’re lucky she came to my unit.”

“I know.” He hugs himself and averts his eyes. “Thanks, Ami. Will the kids - ?”

“No one will ever believe them. And you’ve given her a chance to say goodbye.” She fixes her ponytail. “Have you thought more about speaking with my friend?”

He shakes his head. “Just … I’m getting better at not doing it, Ami. Come on, admit it, it’s only happened, what, twice so far this year?” He forces a laugh. “As opposed to like, once a week? That was just six months ago! I don’t need to learn how to do it better, I need to just not do it at all. And I’m getting there!”

She sighs. “Eric, we have been over this. You are a necromancer. You will always be a necromancer. If you don’t learn about your abilities, you’ll never really have control over them.”

He shakes his head. “No. No, Ami, I get what you’re saying but I’m not … not like, you can fix people! Obviously you need control, and all that, but I don’t do that. I don’t want to know any more about it than I already do.” He follows her to the garbage cans, and dumps his untouched food into the bin. “I never asked to do any of this, if I just figure out how to stop it I can go back to normal.”

She pats him on the shoulder. “You can’t, Eric. You can never go back to normal. Hello, Jeri.”

Eric forces a smile at the specter that brushes between them, but it drops when the ghost shoots a couple finger guns at him and says “Make any new ghouls lately, kid? Ha, you’ll get the hang of it eventually!” They float away, before he can respond, and Ami smiles gently.

“Unfortunately, Jeri and their ilk will never go away,” she adds. “No matter what you do with your powers. You have the Touch, Eric. Just as much a part of you as your DNA.”

“Great,” Eric replies, sour and sullen. “But at least with DNA you can treat it with medicine.”

“Sometimes,” Ami agrees. “Sometimes not.” She watches him for a minute, and turns her head to one side. “What shift are you working tonight?”

“7-3.” He looks toward the ambulance bay, defeated, and sees his partner waving to him. “She thinks I’m some kind of wunderkind,” he adds, miserably.

“You are.” She takes a breath, and puts her hand on his shoulder. “Come back here after. I should be able to keep her heart going until then. You can help me with this one.”

“Do I have to?”

“No. But you should.”

He glares at her. “You want me to see the consequences of my actions? See what happens when my powers are out of control or whatever? Try to convince me to go like, study on the mountain with your wise buddy or whatever?”

“Yes. Exactly that.” She turns to go. “I promise you, Eric, that if you take my advice, we wouldn’t have these messes.”

He watches her go, and she can feel his stare on her back. Distantly, she hears him mutter, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Of course not, she thinks, as she pulls her phone from the pocket of her scrub top and opens a message thread with her wise, mountain-top mentor. ‘I have another ghoul,’ she taps out, and in spite of the hour, the ‘…’ appears almost instantly.

The reply: ‘kid talked into anything yet?’

‘Closer. Not yet.’

‘your not going to be able to hide him forever’

‘Nope. He’ll find out soon if he won’t listen to me.’ She thinks for a minute, and then adds, ‘I might try to bring him home with me this morning.’

‘I never thought you one for the ol seduction technique’

‘Hardly. Meet us there at 8.’

‘…’ And then, for another minute, ‘…’ Then, ‘you know i hate leaving.’

‘I do. But you could also let me try and fail to convince him in time to avoid the attention of the rest of the Community and then they will force you to leave for you trial for collusion.’

‘have i ever told you your my most annoying student? Ami, you are my most annoying student.’

‘Thank you, Sir. Please try to enter through the front door like a human.’

‘i make no promises.’

Hello everyone! After a really long break I'm back with a new post based on my personal experience with a toxical relationship. If anyone of you is not interested in this kind of information, please just scroll down and have a nice day :)

I want to share my experience there because I believe I'm not the only one who may have encountered with that. If this post helped or inspired even just one person, I would be very glad. <3

The first half of this year was very tough for me. After I finished exam period in February, I felt a relief. At that time I had a boyfriend and we were almost 3 years together. We had some problems but we were always able to solve most of them. I believed that those unsolved ones will become solved thanks to moving together we had been planning for a few months. Moreover, I had such a bad relationship with my parents that I started to consider moving together as a way to escape from that. My boyfriend didn't like my parents and they didn't like him for some reasons. I didn't take their opinions personally, because they never liked boys I was in a relationship with. I thought my parents didn't like me neither and most of the time I felt like a black sheep of my family.

We were searching for a suitable apartment. Fortunately we found an ideal one in the same city my parents live in. At the beginning of March, we started moving there. We were happy, worked on it and did everything was needed to make that place feel like home. One day I just came home, packed all my things, farewelled with my parents and left.

First month of living together was lovely. After that, everything started to become as shitty as possible but we were trying to work it out. For instance, I love roses and was wishing to get a rose as a gift from him, no matter if for birthday, anniversary or just to make me happy. He knew about it but didn't do it. So I told him it would make me really happy to get a cute lil rose but we got into a terrible row because he got terribly angry about why to do give me such a thing that "doesn't last long"... A few days later he actually suprised me with a rose. However, when giving me it he said with a terribly emotionless voice "Anyway, it will die."

Another day there was an incident between us that left me speechless: I was preparing lunch in the kitchen while he was unpacking shopping bags full of food and other supplies. I was talking about my friends, how they helped me with some kind of a thing, what were their opinions on that and so on. I mentioned unintentionally a name of my friend he was jealous of. At that moment he was holding a bar of soap and asked me.

"Do you know what I'm holding?"

"Umm, yes, a bar of soap?"

"Well in the past prisoners were beaten with that..." (I was shocked and didn't know what to say but he continued) "Yeah, people put it in a sock, spun it like this (demonstrated the move to me) and beat the prisoners' heads"

"Umm, okay. " He then came behind me and beat my head 3 times with it.

"What the hell are you doing?! It hurts!!"

"That's just for you to know." And then he left to our bedroom.

I was shocked and couldn't believe that. I was able to talk about that again two days later when I confrontated him with what happened during those two day. To my surprise he denied he had done that and claimed he remembered only that he was holding a soap and nothing more...

You can't imagine how frightened I started to get.  Normally I would probably leave it as it was but he was a person really interested into guns who also was a legal owner of five various ones. It was and still is his lifestyle and he subordinated everything to that. I was scared he would hurt me one day or sth like that and I wasn't feeling safe at all during his presence because he behaved really weird and argued a lot with me after the incidents. Moreover, my family was scared as well and wanted me to return no matter what.

Two and a half months after moving in I left him and returned to my parents while he was at work. I couldn't stand any longer and I was so tired of living in a fear. He behaved like an emotional freak when he returned home and realized there was no trace after me and all my things were away. A week later I collapsed and ended up in a hospital for a few hours because of a severe tetany seizure. Three weeks later I am here and I'm so happy because my relationship with parents is on its best, I finished my exam period even if with not so good results and nobody limits me and treats me the way he did:

He was too focused on money and rather bought himself a new expensive gun than make me happy with sth little and cute.

Argued with me many times because I wasn’t able to give him the certain amount of money he wanted (as a double major I wasn’t able to work so much and pay half of the apartment expenses as he wanted; he earned about 13 times more than I did)

When sth happened between us and he was the gulity one, a few days later he distorted what happene and made me overreacting and psychically unstable person

His parents mustn’t have known about my illnesses and the medicine I was taking because “I don’t know how they will accept it”. 

The same happened with my family background. Moreover, he was the only child and the only grandson for both his grandparents, so he got everything and all the attention he wanted whereas I am the older child from a family that sometimes struggled to make ends meet. Nothing to be ashamed of, it can happen to everyone.

He hated some of my friends and made a bad fun of them. Sometimes he even wouldn’t let me go out with them because he was too jealous he doesn’t have so great friends as I do. 

He even wouldn’t let me go to a cultural event where could be many people because he was afraid sth would happen to me and he was seeing danger everywhere and tried to protect me even when it was absolutely unnecessary. He was absolutely obsessive about it and I felt like I had no freedom.

He told me not to wear floral dresses because “You would look like an old farmer’s wife”. However, everytime I wear a dress like this these days my fiends and family call me pretty. 

Two weeks after splitting up with him he told me I’m not able to find anybody new because nobody would accept me. “But I will do it for you, please return.” 

He called me silly and stupid then because I changed my opinion of him fast. 

He confessed he knew about the incidents actually, he was just too ashamed to tell the truth. However I still don’t believe him enough and I blocked him on chat. Even though I am thankful for all the help I got from him during those 3 years, this isn’t the man I would like to spend the rest of my life with. 

Thank you for reading and plese reblog if you find this post helpful <3

Love, Jeri

Sin City

Spent the weekend blissfully lost in a group of beautiful ABGs. Nobody knew me, really. Other than my name, it was the perfect solution to the “my name precedes me” thing that I had been encountering after moving back home.

There was a blur of little moments, living so in the moment that not much was committing to memory. 

But I can feel the memories already blurring away. I just have to let this out somewhere, so here we go.

Friday, June 21st (the first day of summer, my period, and the summer solstice).

Jody’s flight got delayed by 4 hour (at least) and I found myself drowning in intimidation. These girls knew exactly how to do their hair and makeup, what to wear, etc. Found myself regaining some confidence as I successfully put on lashes (really well too, tbh) for the first time since I was 18yo about to perform at recital and was empowered to ditch my Spanx.

While we were waiting in line for Wynn’s XS Nightclub someone raised his voice at me, “Hey, I know you.” I subtly rolled my eyes, assuming he was the first creep of the trip. But then, “It’s Rochelle, right?” I passed along the velvet rope to get a closer look at him. “Arsenio,” he said. The name didn’t ring a bell. 

“I’m Annie’s cousin.” 

“Annie, who?” 

“Luspo!”

“Ohhh, Christy?!”

“Yeah, we met when I was staying at her house in Houston. I think we’re friends on Facebook.”

I quickly looked him up. He was right. Our mutual friends shook the cobwebs from the old connection. It had been TEN YEARS since he last saw me, completely crazy. We tried meeting up for shots in the club, but it didn’t work out. He said he was living in the Bay area now. I looked up his profile, he has a 3-year-old kid now. 

We spent the majority of our Friday evening tediously scouring XS for a table, waiting for Jody, and denying the inevitable fact that a group of 13 young women were not about to ALL get drinks at the same table let alone maneuver a dark nightclub without getting separated. 

We hunted for tables big enough for the majority of us, got half-assed efforts from promoters, and eventually some guy rounded us all up to his table for [free] drinks. It was there that we meet the “thirty-something” Miami guy. We danced, he twirled me, someone later told me they thought he was gay, it definitely didn’t feel like it (but then again, I literally have the world’s worst gay-dar). He even gave me a lap dance -- what an odd feeling to have someone’s nuts rub on your leg... blegh.

We eventually left their table and stopped like ten feet away (the crowd was thick enough to be out of obvious vision). My feet were screaming and I asked if I could sit. He had a sleeve of tattoos -- hello, talking points! At this point I could have talked for hours as long as it meant that I could sit. I don’t really remember his face, but it felt like I had him wrapped around my finger. At one point I was sneaking ice cubes out of their bucket because I was that desperate for some hydration. He said something about being warm, and I don’t know what came over me but  I instinctively leaned in and asked “Did you say you’re getting hot? Come here.” Our faces were close enough and just said “kiss me” before passing an ice cube into his mouth. It was the smoothest and sexiest I’ve ever felt in my life. 

I nonchalantly pull away and feel completely detached from the romantic gesture. He boyishly blurts out, “Thanks for making me look cool in front of my friends.” I’m glad it was dark so I could hide my chuckle. Finally, we head home and we recap the night over Chex Mix and Gardetto’s. Night ended around 2-3am.

Saturday:

Woke up around 8am (I think) and continued recapping the night. Realized my feet were insanely dirty from walking around the hotels and drop-offs sans shoes. We started getting ready for day club and I accept 

omg i’m tired of writing. here comes the word/phrase vomit.

AB&G smoothie, morton’s neuroma, small boob insecurity, “thicc” girl empowerment, big boob empowerment. lowkey strutting and hopping around the suite proud of the muscle on my legs, jiggle on my chest, and less fat at my abdomen than 7 months ago. looking like bougie bruno mars as a woman. fhearing those first beats at day club. USC med alumni. “what job would you have?” “I would enjoy being a PT,” “I’d be humans of new york,” “I’m just now starting to pay off my loans,” his name was Patrick, he’s a urologist either “operating or in clinic.” the exotic Mediterranean guy “She just like a fun, nice girl.” Billy was just one of the cute guys, idk i naturally kept tabs on him i think. Felt like I was successfully flirting with and then getting subtly rejected by Nikolai - with the twin friends (ft. dance move guy), he is an electrical engineer graduated from UCSB who would get a 2x4 lego tattoo if anything and taught me a few phrases in French - because I assumed he’d rather get with one of the girls in the group (Later on Payne would convince me otherwise - that he kept looking around for me and was just talking to everyone because I kept leaving, classic Rochelle scenario, no?). The support I felt when they all encouraged me to go after him. One of the doctors didn’t pick up on my sarcasm when I said he was the oldest (obviously the youngest), it was sweet to see all his friends play along and to have his thirsty ass wanna make me his girl hahah. Some guy named Ty who was turning 21, filipino with great tats - ended up asking for his insta bc i kept running into him. OMG the handsome, potentially gay Black man who stopped me as I got out of the pool and lowkey-strutted towards the bathroom with a “girl you are naturally gorgeous - and you know it!” ugh idk why but it was the most believable comment I’ve ever gotten from a passerby (along with the random ladies that would compliment me omg i cry).

For a while I thought everybody bailed on me and left me with Nickolai just as things were fizzling out. But thankfully we found Kim, Payne, and Mary. We weaved through the crowd, over velvet ropes, and just danced our asses off to Marshmallo’s set. As we were gathering our things at the locker, Jody happened to be walking by (I swear, technology is the biggest cockblock for serendipity). I hadn’t had enough of Day Club at that point so I stayed and saw Jody and Kathleen in action with these guys at their lounge area. Man they really committed to fishing. Finally the delirium of Day Club became a bit overwhelming and we made our way back to the hotel. At this point I felt natural and confident enough to shower naked in front of an also naked Kim. It’s amazing how much confidence I had on reserve strictly from a fresh bikini wax and the knowledge that I’ve been consistently active.

Freshly showered and freshly napped, we started getting ready for Night Swim. (Seriously, the partying never really stopped - just paused for attempts at nourishment/rest.) There was something even more heightening about this round. I played up my freshly-fallen bun-curls and took a FIRE selfie on snapchat (although it didn’t get that much feedback, whatevs bc who was i even hoping for feedback FROM?) 

Donning Kathleen’s kimono and my “naked” swimsuit... (man, looking back where did this person come from?) 

Started talking to this Filipino-Black guy in line and his friend in all white came back and asked if we wanted to join them in their cabana. None of the girls wanted to go, but I figured why not? (the guy was so tall, I think this was my subconscious, amateur attempt at jersey chasing LOL) Also they were from Brooklyn, and I’m a sucker for a good nyc story. Bopped back and forth with drinks form their cabana to our lily pad. 

In classic form, I eventually said goodbye to the cabana boys, grabbed someone from the lily pad, and headed off to do laps. This naive, potentially-gay gentleman at the dance floor tried teaching me how to salsa, as I kept reiterating, “honeyyyy, I’m from Houston! I know how to dance!” We met this Brazilian sounding guy literally because he was standing there an just put his hands up -- got us drinks and saw a poor attempt at line dancing in Vegas, encountered a PTA named Jery (classically shocked that I finished school already hehe). Kept encountering this older gentleman who was charming but creepy, gave Katy a lesson in public strutting, and finally circled back to lounge at the lily pad. 

Eventually Katy came over and whisked me away to a table in the pool. About six girls were already there. There were only two guys so of course I assumed my role as a poolside, go-go dancer. I looked down and realized that I recognized this guy’s dance moves from day club!! And sure enough Nikolai was there! I called him over asking why he wasn’t backstage at the Zedd show. Got in the pool and of course dealt with the same ambiguous vibe as earlier that day. 

(At some point during this, Kathleen came over and dropped off my things - holy shit i just looked it up, it was around 1am - and I asked her to take my phone and wallet back to the hotel at the risk of getting it in the water) Kathy had just offered me some WatEr and I ended up just chillin’, enjoying the vibes and visuals by the side of the pool. I vaguely remember seeing Nikolai leave and honestly just dgaf about it. Kathy explained that it was ok to want to feel physical touch so I just leaned the fuck in to the virgin experience and let everyone and their mother scratch my head, massage my back, and just love on each other hahaha we ended up closing the club at like 3:30am or something.

As we were leaving, one of the two guys (the half-Jap-half-Russian who I was initially told was gay - found out his name at like 5am, and then ended up not being gay) bluntly says, “you’re really pretty and I’d like to make out with you” - looking back, it was almost perfect... I was already comfortable with him because he had been [orgasmically] pulling my hair all night and massaging my neck. He said later that he thought he was being obvious in making a move, but i’m pretty sure he was doing that with everyone, esp considering Kathy was deadass wrapped around his back like a monkey lolol he later said he was only pulling my hair, my rolling ass had no fucking clue ahahah

Anyway, I hadn’t had someone suggest making out in so long and had been recently longing for that exactly, so after several minutes of inner turmoil (at this point i was still getting used to him not being gay, but also i was on my period, freshly waxed, and headfirst in my first Experience). I stayed back with Kim and James (literally a total ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ vibe with his british accent and her stunninnnggggggg looks), Kathy, and Mr. Makeout. There was a cool breeze accompanying us on the late night streets of the Strip and we just let ourselves walk and blow away with Mr. Makeout’s EPB/APL. We ended up at their room at the Palazzo and sure enough, when Kathy and Kim went to talk in the bathroom, he point-blank says, “are we gonna make out now?” 

He was odd in his own way -  a balance of nonchalant, poignancy, and just enough flirtation. Stolen smiles and glances had become our forte at this point, I was really wishing that Kathy could see what was happening, and that I hadn’t given my phone away. The three of us decided to leave to give Kim and James some privacy. Kathy lagged behind to talk to Kim and we continued to make out in the hallway. Kissing him was somehow so erotic yet so professional/respectful. 

The sun was beginning to come up as we headed to the guys’r extra room at Caesar’s and awkwardly laid in bed, in our swim suits, unable to sleep, just waiting for Kim to need us since we had a key card. Let me just say that damn Kathy is such a good friend. She had her phone out the whole time even though battery was draining fast, making sure that Kim felt safe and that she wasn’t ubering alone or anything.

There was a moment that Kathy was going to leave and I was going to stay back with Daniel (I now knew his name), I decided against it and as I got out of the bed he beautifully clung to my waist with his previously whispered “I’d like to make love to you” twirling through my head. I playfully tried getting away, knowing full well that he had me locked down (If I was smart at all, I would have remembered James’ subtle mention that Daniel brought a NCAA National Judo Title back to Harvard, i.e. their ALMA MATER, which I barely cared about at this point because I was so out of it haha). We convinced him to come back to the Venetian/Palazzo with us (and he paid for the taxi, bless).

We kept stealing a few kisses in various lobbies as Kathy essentially babysat all of us lmao. Before heading up to our room, I threw my number onto his phone internally plotting how I can sneak away to him. After all, it was only 6am at this point and everyone was deadass asleep. 

Immediately I realized how not sleepy I was in comparison to everyone sprawled out on their air mattresses. I updated Katy and Jody and replied to his immediate texts:

“Hello

OK come now.

Can we make out a little more?”

I trotted out of the room in a sun dress, no bra, and my bikini bottoms. I told you, it was the start of Cancer season. Walked through the adjoining hotels (seriously, how convenient) and eventually he found me. 

“You changed”

“Well I didn’t really want to walk around in a sheer kimono at 7am,” then alluding to the lack of bra underneath. 

He was surprisingly disciplined in the elevator, undoubtedly catching me smiling in anticipation for his lips to be back on mine. Thankfully, he deviated towards a corner wall to kiss for a bit before heading down a very long hallway. It was the most seamless a makeout has felt in a long time. We were eye to eye whenever I’d rise up onto the balls of my feet. I grabbed at his jet black hair and his hands ran all over me with an energy I’d never felt before - I had gotten used to greedy hands on me... his were appreciative, almost even respectful. I could feel him near the hem of my dress and he’d lightly lift it up, but never yanked at it or slid it up too high... we continued down the long hallway with the same style of kissing, even getting caught by a couple, oops hehe. 

We got to the room and decided to continue in the [pleasantly spacious and conveniently mirrored] full bathroom. Knowing fully well that we only had time to makeout, we started slow, just weaving back and forth. We took our time, taking turns unbuttoning each others tops, one by one, kissing to celebrate the each exposure of new skin (forgetting the fact that we were already half naked when we met or that we had already laid next to one another in our underwear). 

Eventually the clothes were off and he didn’t question when I said that underwear has to stay on. It was 45 minutes of bliss. He leaned against the counter for the majority of the time and our hands ran free, up and down each other’s bodies. His musculature perfectly balanced - I seriously don’t think I’ve ever been so dumbfounded, I literally had no critiques. But I couldn’t properly articulate myself because I was so shocked by his whispers and praises.

“You’re so pretty... You’re so cute... You’re so hot... You have the most incredible body,” as he appeared to blink in what looked like disbelief. For once, I actually believed a man’s compliments on my body...

 “I was trying to talk to you all night,” he said as I stared back in disbelief reminding him that his hands were on all the other girls as well. “You have so many dang friends, I didn’t know how to get alone... and then you disappeared, I couldn’t find you.” We continued kissing through all this recapping and sure enough, he blessed me with that same, firm hair pull.

We ended up laying on the floor towards the end, him teasing me with the words, “I really want to eat you out” - BUT OF COURSE, I was on my period at a time when I’d never been more willing to do it. His lips were so luscious and our tongues had already become well-acquainted at this point. He told me to lay on the floor and his hands just explored my lower abdomen and superficial pelvis... it felt beautifully similar to the scene in “Pretty Woman” where Richard Gere goes from playing the piano to playing Julia Roberts’ body....  it was just pure bliss, I’d never been so happy to be in a hotel bathroom at 7am. And as we ached over the fleeting minutes, eventually we heard James fumbling for the bathroom knob, I doubled over in giggles as I fumbled for clothes to cover my mostly naked self. “I’m not done exploring you yet...” he said with a tone of sadness as we departed, again not realizing that I was plotting to return to him. I wasn’t done either.

I’m going to stop writing soon, but I ended up going back to his room (sans James) after Jody left. We had about an hour, “You just always leave me. I booked my flight for 11:30 after you left. I didn’t think I’d get to see you again.”

We kissed slowly, obviously running on depleted energy reserves, and eventually ramping up to the same enthusiasm as earlier that morning.

“I wish I had a video of you doing that,” alluding to my practically-rehearsed minx crawl over his supine body. To which he countered with the masculine version when it was his time to be on top. However, I think I reached a completely new capacity of physical attraction as I laid on the bed with him standing, holding my hips. Every time his hips thrusted forward, his chest and delts contracted with each pulse.... I’d never been with a physique like that, ever. I don’t know what came over me but eventually I was going down with an enthusiasm I hadn’t felt in years, genuinely wanting to kiss him just everywhere. I was lasting a lot longer than usual. I could feel him squirming and just when I thought he was going to finish - he blurted “I just want to fuck you” as he simultaneously tossed me to the head of the bed and held himself over me - it was performed so swiftly and smoothly that I officially have a newfound sexual respect for guys who do Judo. It almost felt like a couples tango... I just laid there, sprawled out in complete disbelief, realizing that I reallyyyy wanted him back in me. We wrestled with the idea but there were no condoms left and I wasn’t on birth control - I had to bite my tongue to prevent myself from discussing the significantly decreased likelihood of getting pregnant when on your period, but luckily he reminded me that we’re a couple of strangers, a couple of mature adults. Eventually time caught up with us  and with rosy-cheeks we left his room. I lamely asked if we could hold hands to which he said, “of course.” I could feel his smile next to me in the elevator and gave each other a quick kiss before he headed to the lobby and I sped off to the Venetian to clean up my things before check out.

 At one point we were just laying there and he said those perfect words, “this is all I really wanted.” I didn’t fully believe him, but I nodded in agreement because it truly felt wonderful.

(Sidenote: I initially started this post because I was resisting texting Mr. Makeout. I caved and started drafting a message, but I kept backspacing because I didn’t actually know what I wanted to say. Finally got frustrated and gave up on keeping contact, phew glad that period of desperation is over with)

What mistakes Along with Public Schools?

He is healthyfit-blog.Com the absolute most politically highly effective banker, head of the biggest United States financial institution and world's 6th largest. It gives me great delight whenever i hear the label Dr.Zabaza because he is the excellent man that reinforce my partnership specifically when my fan concerned leaving me for one more female however through the aid of Dr.Zabaza my aficionado modified his thoughts and today our company are actually gotten married to all because of Dr.Zabaza i am completely happy to him as well as i will definitely want to offer his connect with particulars to those who assume they will actually require his help and the information are actually [phone] or even zabazalogan @. Sectarianism's awful director was all as well obvious in these video games and also fact be told this might incorporate a lot ambience to such an actually heated up protestant or affair-catholic, really did not concern, you had your songs and also you sang all of them as loud as you has actually chilled out now and so has the atmosphere some will point out, yet this is actually still electricity and this is why there is actually nothing at all like this.

Inning accordance with Jeri LaBahn in his short article titled Education and learning and Adult Involvement in High schools: Problems, Solutions, and also Results, Adult engagement is actually a mix from dedication and also energetic participation on the part of the moms and dad to the college and to the student" (1). Nevertheless, if a lot of parents cannot carry out that, numerous trainees could encounter difficulty. By time I prepared to enter my 1st year from secondary school, this became my selection for where I wanted to go. I picked the general public institution up the road off my home, instead of continuing my learning with the private school I would certainly increased familiar with some fifteen miles away.

The opportunities are quite higher, and boosting constantly, that you may be dealing with an accident of secondary school intimidation or secondary school intimidation at some time during the course of your youngster's time devoted in the exclusive or social learning unit. It was certainly not enjoyable for me. I was actually functioning full time, having a prerequisite training class (my consultant urged me to not take this a number of years earlier, yet she was wrong), and going through everything I can discover about physical treatment. If you asked me years and even months ago whether I will skip putting on university outfits, my answer would be actually 'NO FREAKING MEANS!' because I actually wanted our experts had flexibility from choosing just what to use to school. In relations to crucial social red flags, Iran rates more than its own arising market peers, with a literacy rate higher than 80% as well as high amounts of secondary and also tertiary institution application.1 Because of this, when needed structural reforms are actually applied, Iran can present an economical risk to bordering countries, like Turkey, whose production economic situations deliver little bit of in relations to market value incorporated due to their heavy dependence on importing basic materials.

The truth is, turnover in social institution administration has actually created a departure and may give - as well as our experts can easily deliver the leadership management services and also mentoring must enhance transport safety and security and performance. Keeping up levels in college is actually other coming from secondary school considering that nobody is actually evaluating the student's shoulder to view if they have actually accomplished their homework projects or read through the schoolbook sections before training class.

The night we met

Cw: gun mentions,scene of a character getting shot,alusion to a bad household. Lmk if I missed anything else. Implied age gap between s/I N Aaron (s/I is of age and goes to university)

Summary: Miles takes Jerico to a party so his parents stop asking who hes hanging out with. There,she meets miles' uncle and they hit it off. Staying through thick and thin together.

->Only mutuals allowed to reblog.

->Aaron aint dead fuck you sony.

--They gotta meet one of you guys! If not ill never get 'em off my back!--Miles complained at the rest of the spider people, which were all hanging off a ledge casually.

--Well...the only two of us that would come across as your Friends would be Jerico and Gwen--Peter B Parker said sitting on the floor.

--Well I have no issue going--Jerico added--I should go shopping though...

--Do you even have money?--Miles asked,now a little hopeful.

--yeaah Man. I have a job back in my dimention, its in my bag with the rest of my stuff-- she replied with a smile-- Sooooo eho wants to go shopping?

After a shopping trip that,admitedly, took a little too long, Miles allows Jerico to shower in his house and get changed. Since everyone was on the rooftop nobody noticed them.

Once she was done, she gets changed and both go up at the rooftop. Its loud with music and people, the smell of food permeated the air and Jerico felt right at home--Reminds me of Argentine parties! Oh I feel right at home

--Hey thats good!--Miles cheered shaking her hand--Mi casa es tu casa

--Ma' vale!-- she cheers too, putting an arm around Miles and walking through the crowd-- do I gotta reffer to your parents as "Sir" n' "Ma'am"?

--Yeah

--Cool, im getting some food after--jeri added, finally reaching miles' parents. She straightens up and lets her arm fall from her Friends shoulder.

--Mom, dad, This is Jerico, one of my Friends from that New friendgroup I told you about--Miles said gesturing at the woman beside jer

--Pleasure to meet you Miss and Mr. Morales--Jerico chirped, extending her hand

--Oh, pleasure to meet you too--Rio said shaking her hand, her husband soon following and doing the same-- Jerico is a really interesting name!

--Ah thank you ma'am. Its my chosen name-- the younger woman replied with a small polite smile.

--oh, i see. Thats good!. Can I ask how you And the rest of the Group met Miles?

--Oh of course! We met at comicon, its a convention for all things nerdy, movies,videogames,TV series--She explains,lying seems second nature to her-- And we were at a stand dedicated to Peter Parker and I made a comment about the merch there and it Turned into conversation and we all sort of got to know eachother

-- oh thats...Interesting--Jeff,miles' dad, said-- where are the others?

--Ah well, Penny is a little younger than us by a few years and shes got a lot of extracurricular activities, shes really into technology--She starts, gesticulating with her hands-- Peter has to take care of his university assigments and Gwen had ballet classes

--And you? Do you have anything else to do?--the Man asked,almost Interrogating her. Miles tries to tell jerico to let him handle it but she gives him a slight head shake.

--Yeah, I go to volleyball classes but on a different day. I also have acting classes but they got cancelled this week because the teacher called in sick. Shame, shes really nice

Río Gently slaps Jeff's arms and adds--Oh I see, well I hope your teacher gets better soon. Please go enjoy the party

--Thank you Ms.Morales-- jerico said politely-- nice to meet you! C'mon miles lets go get some food, im starving-- with a final nodd towards her Friends parents both her and miles leave for a less crowded part of the terrace.

--Why are you so good at lying?!--Miles whisper shouted-- They belived you! And mom certainly likes you!

--Look, when you live in a strict household you learn a thing or two--She shrugged, fast walking to close the gap between her and the table where the foods and drinks were. She grabs one of the glasses with juice and some of the food she places on a small plate-- now we can enjoy the party!

--Yeah...yeah youre right--Miles sighed in relief--you saved my ass back there,you know?

--Yeah, but thats what we are here to do. Youre my friend n' I look out for ya--She smiled pushing him slightly.

The rest of the party goes on without a hitch, Jerico gets to dance for a bit while Miles says hi to his uncle. He hugs him tight and smiles widely.

--Hey uncle aaron!--miles chirps--Glad you could make it!

--Me too kiddo. What have you been up to?

--Ah nothing much, school and all--He shrugged half lying.

--Really? 'Cuz your dad told me you brought a girl with you here--Aaron teased with a smirk.

--Oh no-- i mean yeah-- but not that way!--the younger Man panicked-- shes th-there on the dancefloor!-- he points at jerico, dancing to some salsa, the end of her Oxford jeans flailing about while she spins. Her baby hairs bouncing with her. She was wearing a croptop t-shirt with the logo of Harley Davidson on it,  her white leather jacket scattered on one of the Chairs, her tattoo covered arms on full display, and her black heavy boots hit the ground softly but still made a sound.

Aaron's eyes go wide, he looks at his nephew surprised-- And what the hell are you doing not dancing with her?! Go Man!--He Gently pushed miles towards the dancefloor.

--But--Uncle its not that way! I swear!--Woah!-- hes about to trip and fall before jerico catches him-- hey!

--Hey! Wanna dance?-- miles asked getting up.

--Yeah Man! Lets boogie!

Half an hour later, Jerico leaves the dancefloor to Miles so she could Grab something to drink, shes pouring some juice in her glass when someone steps beside her. She looks out of instict and she sees a Man, bald with a goatee and thin moustache,Brown eyes. Dressed in jeans, tshirt and leather jacket with boots,all black.

--You must be Miles' friend!--The Man said once he noticed she was staring-- Im Aaron Davis, Miles' uncle -- he extends his hand

--Jerico Castro--she replied taking his hand and shaking it, her eyes never leaving his. The music was being drowned out by the hard pounding of her heart, she looks away and says-- sorry for starin' you dont look like miles much

--Its alright,kid-- he reassured grabbing the jug of juice she sets down on the table,their hands barely touching-- He got his looks from his old Man

--Ye-Yeah he did huh?--She agreed trying to recompose herself-- But he evident got your personality

Aaron snorts, then he nodds while he pours himself some juice--Yeah, its that so obvious?

--Well, when I spoke with your brother it felt like he was interrogating me--She admitted biting down on some chips nearby.

--Yeah, that sounds like classic Jeff--He admitted--Sorry about that

--S'fine--jerico reassured, finally taking the courage to look at him again. She non-chalantly sits on the table, glass resting beside her, legs crossed-- but im glad Miles has someone to be himself with

--sounds like youre talking from experience--The Man comments, amused. He sits beside her on the table and looks at her.

--Ye-Yeah-- she cleared her throat and then repeated in a firmer voice-- yeah, I mean... I know whats like to have a family you cant crack jokes with or be yourself with... --She looked at her glass, as if remembering something unpleseant.

--I- sorry.. I didnt mean to bring up a bad memory,kiddo--He said Gently, putting a hand on her shoulder.

--Uh no no..its fine-- Jeri replied leaning into his touch a little-- I dont live with em anymore so.. truly Its fine

--If you say so... But, Im glad you got out of there-- He offered her a polite smile-- Lemme make it up to you by taking you out for a dance

--You dont have to buuuut-- she mused with a smirk, offering her hand-- Lets go dance

--Si señorita-- he chuckled taking her hand and guiding her to the dancefloor.

For the Next hour or so, Miles watches as his uncle and best friend flirt with eachother, never leaving each other's sides for more than ten minutes. Hes both impressed and mildly uncomfortable, not that he would stop them. Jerico was her own person.

Yet its endearing to watch his uncle be vulnerable. How he sits a little closer to jerico,how he holds her gaze and looks at her with a soft smile as she talks,fully inmersed in what shes saying.

In return,his friend looks at aaron like he hung the moon and stars, her eyes basically shinning when he talks, how she leans in quite a bit and pays attention to every Word he says

As the party comes to a close, and the final last slow songs play, the pair dances in comfortable silence under the late night Sky. He twirls her around and then pulls her flush against his chest. Theres a flirty undertone to their movements, And as the song reaches its best most dramatic part, their faces are barely inches away from eachother.

Jerico's heart feels like its about to explode right out of her chest, specially as she leans in a little and he does too. Though delighted as his lips meets hers, Like a quiet confirmation. She of course kisses back, hugging his neck and melting as his arms wrap protectively around her waist.

By the end of the party, jerico has to leave, but not before Aaron hands her a piece of paper--Call me,Will you? -- he flirted,winking at her.

--I will--She promised with a smile tucking the paper on her pocket and waving at him as he left.

As both miles and her go down the stairs towards the entrance of his appartment building, her friend says--Did you seriously spend the whole night with my uncle?

--Why? You have a problem with that?

--No. I just have never seen his charm up close-- He shrugged.

--Your uncle is very charming-- she agreed,voice low and face red.

--Dont break his heart Will you?--He teased elbowing her softly on the ribs.

--Me? Tell your uncle not to break MY heart--She teased right back pushing his shoulder forcefully but with no intentions of hurting him.

--hey, need a lift back to aunt Mays?

--No. Im fine. -- she reassured-- thank you though, I had fun today

--y'sure did-- he joked extending her hand-- Text me when you get back

She shook his hand, doing their little handshake-- Will do, night miles

--Night

Jerico starts walking away, making sure to be out of sight when she starts climbing up the walls of buildings and soon jumping from building to building. Doing spins and other stunts mid air.

She takes a breather sitting on the edge of one of the buildings, looking at the city below. Jeri doesnt notice the figure looming behind her hidden in the shadows, scanning her to see if she was a threat.

He inches closer and closer and suddenly that odd ripple feeling in her head makes her notice danger was nearby. She turns around and sees a large figure, mask and sharp claws, she jumps in her place and stands up hands ready to defend herself.

The prowler... she recognized him. But theres something oddly familiar..Like she had seen him before a short while ago.

--I mean you no harm...-- he stated, voice low and distorted.

--Sure. Thats why you were in the shadows staring at me like a creep--she bit back , hearing a low distorted chuckle come from. The Man.

--Touche...but you look like someone im looking for...or at least your jacket does

--Well...im sure theres plenty of people with white leather jackets-- she takes a step to the side and gestures at her previous spot-- By all means Keep going on your way!

The prowler walks up to her and ruffles her hair. --Arent you adorable kiddo-- he teased before jumping off to the Next building.

And then something connects in her brain as she leaves. Aaron called her kiddo a lot. But..it was far fetched,he was a good Man...right? There was no way he was the prowler...

Shaking off her flusteredness, she keeps going until she reaches aunt mays house. Just by the time the sun rises. Jerico collapses on her bed and sighs audibly,she had enough for one day.

Some days pass after that, between making a plan to return to their dimentions jerico had barely any time to call and text Aaron. But, thankfully, when her glitching wasnt that bad she managed to hang out with him, and go on some few dates that defenetly were not dates.

But it all comes crashing down when the rest of the bad guys follow miles into May's home. It all happens so fast,battle, fights, things being thrown all throughout the house, miles leaves as The prowler chases him.

The news that Aaron was ,in fact, the prowler hadnt finish setting in yet in her brain. But,she follows after him to make sure miles was safe.

Yet...it all comes to a stop as Kingpin shoots Aaron. Jerico yells her lungs out stopping him mid fall, and with her help Miles brings his uncle to an alleyway.

She takes off her mask as tears go down her eyes--No...dont...-- she beggs holding his face in her hands. Miles had his own little dramatic moment with him, she was desperate to see him one last time.

--So it was you..--he gasps out with his last bits of breath-- that night on that building

--Yeah...--She whimpers -- Please dont leave...stay

--Man...Youre even more beautiful upclose--He whispers leaning in to press his forehead against hers.

--Shut up...Keep your strength..--She begs again holding his hands.

--Thank you for the time we spent together

--Aaron shut up! Just Keep breathing...

--you're amazing, kiddo. Dont forget that-- he gasps out before going limp in her arms, she sobbs loudly and cries her eyeballs out. That is until they hear Sirens and police approaching.

Miles and Jerico have to leave as Jeff chases him from behind, both swing from column to building. Tears in their eyes.

Some days pass before they all leave. During those days jerico doesnt come out of her room, she only talks to Noir and sometimes Penny. She eats in her room and does nothing but sketch moments she spent with aaron.

"--In my world there is no M.Jane-- she told Noir once-- No romantic interest...just me, N' I thought I had found it here...but apparently..no--"

One night however, she sneaks into Aaron's apparment, hopefully to be with his things and miss him less. But just as shes about to close the door she had stepped in from, she hears the clicking of a gun and a raspy voice-- Dont you dare move, turn around..

Jerico does as shes told, ready to slingweb the gun out of her assilants hand. But as her eyes meet the figure threatening her, she stops...its...!

--Aaron?! --She exclaims and suddenly the lights go on.

--Jerico?!--A very bruised Aaron mimicked-- the hell are you doing here?!-- he lowers the gun and holds his chest, evidently he had a hard time staying on his feet

--How the hell are you still alive?!--She runs up to him and helps him stand up.

--I barely survived...but I couldnt stay in the hospital or Kingpin would come to finish the job...--He explained-- Sorry I didnt tell you sooner or

--Aaron,shut up-- she commanded guiding him to his bedroom-- youre in no position to even text me...lay down, ill make some food for you

--You dont have to-

--Aaron Davis...you fucking died in my arms-- she stated once he was fully laid down-- youre going to let me make you some food, cuddle up with you and spend the night here,you understand?!-- her voice was broken,but she tried to make it sound firm, tears threaten to spill and her eyes are wide.

--I am so sorry-- He apologized pulling her in for a hug-- I didnt know you cared about me so much

--Are you kidding me...?-- she whimpered crying against his neck-- I care about you so much... theres nothing to apologize for...it wasnt in your controll

-- Im really sorry kiddo-- his hand Strokes her hair and his lips press against her cheek-- Please,go make that dinner

She smiles and kisses his forehead--On it handsome, you stay right here

And as she crosses the threshold of the bedroom entrance she hears--does it look like I can go anywhere?!

Jerico laughed loudly shaking her head--Alright Point taken!

After a good dinner (which, was one of the best food Aaron ever had) Both lay down on the bed. He holds her tight against his chest, she looks up and without thinking she kisses him. He gladly kisses back hugging her a little tighter.

--I love you-- he whispers against her hair.

--I love you too-- She mutters holding one of his hands.

--I know you have to go back to your dimention but...come visit, please-- he Begged softly.

--You know I Will. I'll find a way-- she promised-- now lets go rest

--Night kiddo

--night

Troubled troubles

Ok to rb

Summary:Basically s/I and adler fluff, a bit of angst and a buttload of oc stuff

Gif by travellar on Tumblr

@romancologist @mycinnamonapples uwu

Another Slam of hands on the table announces jerico that adler is yet having problems with something, she sighs Rolling her shoulders back, and her two cats sit ontop of them.

--Oh boy I do love hearing my boyfriend mad--she said playfully leaning on the doorsill of adler's Office.

Russel turns to look at her, he smiles a bit --Hey princess, sorry for makin too much noise,I know you dont like that

Jeri shrugged and Walked over, sitting on her boyfriends lap--Okay let me see whats up

--Ive been trying to fix this radio for Woods, nothings workin

She takes the radio and looks at it--Did you notice some of the cables are broken? Like when your headphones cable is broken and you twist the cord around for it to work?

--...wait what?

--Yeah its broken see?

Adler internally facepalms as his cheeks turn red--How could I not notice that?

Jer kisses his scarred cheek and leaves the radio on the desk standing up--Anyway ill go chance, todays prayer Day at cycle coasts main temple,you sure you dont want to go?

--No babe,im alright you go enjoy your terran stuff

She chuckled and shook her head walking over to her room to change.

The Roaring of the motorcycle engine drowned out any other sound in the garage, jerico put her helmet on,both of her cats tucked in her backpack,peeking through the semi Open compartment.

Her black cat mewls and presses their snout against the back of her head--Im alright vica,I just wish Russ came with me whenever we have celebrations, its something I dont want him to miss...but alas...--Her cat hissed and she snorted a chuckle-- dont be mad at him,our culture can be hard to digest

The cat rolled their eyes and sunk back into her backpack.

The wind hit her visor as she drove to cycle coast, she looked at the cloudy Sky, and sped up.

The drums could already be heard, jer chained her motorcycle to a post and Walked to the beach,there people in traditional terran wear danced with fans,banners and sticks, she sat amongst the crowd listening to the old woman talk.

Her hair was long,braids sprinkled about her hair, white as the moon,the traditional pristess robe, blue and black touched the sand and her long sleeves draped as she talked.

--Jerico...nice to see you could join Us.

Jerico smiled--Id never miss it

--did you bring your handsome boyfriend with you?

Jeri looked away--no,hes not really into our culture

The old womans brow furrow--such a shame...I wanted to meet him--she then perked up at the audience --You see, jerico has come here since she was a little trouble making bean about this tall--she puts her hand against her shoulder--so she heard this tale Many many times

When humans and gods lived along eachother--the elder pristess said-- and demons Ran amok at night,our goddess of death fell in love with one of those creatures.

She had Fallen for the King of the black demon hell, and had a child.

This is the child we'll talk about,in our books hes named xazo kazlaz or bell, it says that then elementus got wind of their relationshipp and they had to split.

About deaths son however.. she raised him to be the one that would guide the people to the afterlife...or hell navigating through the vast ocean of the dead with bells to guide him and Open the Doors to each realm...

Does anybody know why hes represented as an axolotl?--

Jerico raised her hand, and the pristess let her talk--because hes both a god and a demon, hes half and half like the axolotl that is an amphibian creature

The woman nodded-- very good,now lets commune back at the temple shall we?

As the people left, both the priestess and jeri were left alone,both Walked a bit distanced from the crowd.

--Thats one of my favourite stories you know zaivelaz

The woman smiled--I know thats why when I got your letter of you coming I changed it, its more interesting that the story of our patron goddess fighting over a piece of cheese

Jer started to laugh--Yeah that day was one hell of a day

Zaivelaz shook her head--Being a goddess amongst humans is hard?

--Like you have no idea,specially with my boyfriend,two of the people gods in my family had human partners and they...they died,im scared something similar Will happend to him

Her companion put a hand on jericos shoulder--It wont...I promise

--Thanks...zai

The steps along the floating bridge were Many,jeri couldnt help but wonder how it would be if adler was here.

She struggled so much with showing him her culture that it made her feel sad,then again one of the moral rules in Terras was not to force anyone,and she wouldnt break it.

She sat on the floor with the priestesses and closed her eyes interlocking her fingers as she softly whispered.

--Hey ozi...Been a while...--she sighed-- I left you some offerings by your statues feet, I know you dont like this sorta stuff...but ive missed you, a lot, just...just..tell eryz and abbadon that I love em..and that same goes to you..i love you aunt ozi

After the prayers it was time for the festival, jeri Spotted a young Man wearing all black, white eyes,and black hair in a bun.

The Man seemed to notice her as he ran to her,hugging her tightly.

--Abbadon!--She said kissing her cousins cheek--Ive missed you

Abbadon put his hand in his pockets--Ive missed you too...what I could not miss is this festival! All because of our family?, wow!

Jer giggled and offered her hand--Wanna dance?

--You bet!

Their feet moved in synch,the flags spun in circles as they danced.

Abbadon threw his banners and jeri catched him, and he hers.

They were enjoying themselves when the music stopped abruptly.

They Turned to see the people around them that were equally confused.

The musicians pointed at the huge tide approaching them.

Both demigod cousins stepped infront of the tide and stopped it as its about to break, they both looked at eachother and nodded.

Jeri pushed it to one side, and abbadon followed, the water splashed them and them only and nobody got hurt.

--Your mom needs to stop sending tides that could literally drown someone when she wants to send a sign...

Abbadon crouched putting his hands on his knees,batting his hand at his cousin--i tried... no way talking her out of It

The celebration ended with no further altercations, jerico went back home and took a quick warm shower to then collapse on the bed.

--Hes still with that fucking radio isnt he?...--She sighed giving up--why do I even try anymore?

The sun filtered through the blinds jerico groaned and opened her eyes,only to find her boyfriends spot on the bed empty.

She grunts and sits up, her cats sitting on her lap-- I know I know..--she picks them up and walks to the kitchen where she gives both of them their food.

Jeri felt a pair of arms hug her from behind, she sighs nuzzling into adlers chest.

--Good morning sweetheart

--Hey...

--Watcha cooking there?

--Bacon and eggs for you and a healthy terran breakfast for me

--Oh...good

Both ended up eating their breakfast in silence, Russell could tell there was something wrong with his girlfriend, he took her hand and she looked at him,those beautiful eyes he loved looking at were filled to the brim with sadness.

--babe...whats up?--He asked concerned.

--I just...wish you could come with me whenever we have festivals here--she said taking a bite from her waffle that had cream and pieces of caramelized fruit--its something I really really want you to participate in...but I know you dont like this sorta stuff and I wont force you

Adler sits back realizing what he had done, hes been neglecting a part of her that is important to her,those were her roots and he was stepping all over them.

He finished his breakfast and Walked over to her, lifting her up and hugging her--Im so sorry babe--he kissed her cheek-- I know this is important to you and i--

Jeri smiled kissing him again and cupping his cheeks--How about you come to todays festival in time temple with me huh?you dont have to wear our traditional attire,but I tell you it gets cold there

--Id love to, do I have to bring something?

--Not really, im going to make an offering though,it depends on the person

--perfect then...cant wait

Both smiled and kissed again.

The end of the day arrived quickly between work and chores to do.

Adler was waiting by the door fixing his leather jacket.

--How do I look?

Russ looks up at jerico and gasps--Very pretty

She smiled playing with the hem of her green turtle neck that had her shoulders peeking, her roman sandals clicked and clacked with every step she made.

The drive to time temple wasnt long, and luckily they arrived just in time for the story.

The elder priestess smiled when she saw jerico and nodded, proceeding to talk-- a long time ago, the second generation of dieties were born, they were meant to regulate life, amongst the three of them we find our patron goddess...chronos the incessant pass of time...

Elementus tasked a human to build a machine that could measure time, that is when the first sun clock was born,the human handed it to the Creator and with a sprinkle of magic the clock changed into a small girl, with short black hair, she had pale skin and two pale blue eyes, and from there,she was born.

Trained by elementus sister, Ray,the god of war...she then moved to her Realm where she measures time and the life of every being in existence..., from humans to animals and even objects, some say that she collects clocks of all kind and if.you want to meet her youll need to bring the rarest of clocks,of course, its all myths...or...are they?--the priestess finished her tale,and the offerings began.

Adler uncomfortably stayed behind as jeri prayed,she then Turned to him and ushered him to come closer.

--And this is my boyfriend, Russell

--Babe what are you doing?

--Introducing my aunt to you

--Your...aunt?

--Yeah ive told you like a month ago im half goddess..and this is my aunt...chronos

--I...I thought you were joking when you said that --Jeri Turned at her boyfriend with a face of pure disbelief,he hunched his back--Sorry...

--Anyway..chronos...hes my boyfriend Russell, I wish you were here to meet him...hes very sweet sometimes

--Sometimes?

She chuckled and kissed his cheek-- sometimes--she then Turned at the statue--i wish you were here to meet him, I really miss you--Adler gave her some space and sat back on the chair--i miss you and dad so much...--she stood up--Ill..ill see you later auntie chronos--she smiled and Walked over to adler hugging him.

The festival inside the temple was full of music and food of all kinds, and both came back home exhausted.

Adler maybe got a solid six ours of sleep before hes awaken by her girlfriends voice--Babe...babe wake up...

He smiled kissing her--Morning princess

--There you are,change quickly my family came to visit

His eyes Open wide --What?

--Yeah they are here, come on change

She patted his chest and Walked into the kitchen, where abbadon was setting the table.

Adler Walked in a few minutes later only to find two men and three women talking with her girlfriend,who noticed him and hugged him--Okay everyone, say hi to russel,Russell this is abbadon, this is chronos--she said pointing at the woman with short black hair and glasses-- those are my aunts eryz and ozi, aka the goddeses of life and death--

Adler was baffled at the normalcy jeri used when talking about her family,he looked at ozi,her black Long hair fell down to the floor, a scar along her left eye and she was wearing a long blue. sundress,eryz had short brown hair, using the same glasses as chronos was, she had vitiligo and was wearing a white shirtdress with a green fitted blazer--and this is my Dad,Raymond.

To say adler was scared shitless was an understatement,his father in law was wearing a black leather jacket,black jeans and boots,a white t-shirt and aviator sunglasses, he was also way taller than him,with his black hair pushed back and two scars on each side of his face,one under his right eye and one right on the left side of his jaw in the middle between his mouth and the spot where both jaw and neck meet.

Chronos laughed and softly elbowed Ray-- Raymond youre scaring the poor human

--He better treat my daughter alright..

Jeri smiled and kissed russel--Dont worry dad he does

They all sat to eat breakfast, adler seemed intimidated by the dietys around him,but slowly let his guard down, they were a pleaseant bunch in their own way, more human than hed like to think.

Sadly after breakfast they all had to leave.

After saying their goodbyes russel and jerico end up cuddling on the bed.

--Your family is nice--russel said as he ran his fingers through her hair.

--nexts to meet yours

He chuckled--Maybe

They kiss, and he hugs her waist enveloping her in a tight bear hug.

--I love you jer

--I love you too russ

Mantainance

Ok to rb

--stop moving!--jerico said trying to fix up some of the circuits in revenants back The bot let out a grunt in response--oh dont come bitching to me,you were the one who collapsed on my damn bed,Sit,shut up and let me fix you

Rev rolled his eyes,hed never tell her why he was moving so much.

Truth was that he was incredibly touchstarved,and the soft delicate touches jeris hand were making as she fixed him up werent helping.

His bodys first reaction was to come closer to her hands,but being who he was revenant would violently lean forwards away from her hands.

Whenever jericos hand would press against him his hands would curl up in fists and grunt,at least to appear in pain, wich was less humiliating than leaning in like a cat who wants attention.

She finished and closed the compartment on his back, he was hesitant to stand up and leave,and jer picked up on it.

Her hand pressed against his shoulder,he wanted to shake it off with force but instead he just looked at her.

His gaze wasnt cold, jerico noticed, it was soft and hesitant,glowing a faint hue of Orange.

--is everything alright?--she asked worried.

He tried to look for the right words but nothing came out of his mouth, he just sort of leaned in her touch and sat closer, wishing for it to be enough of a clue.

And thankfully it was.

Jeri wrapped her arms around his waist, and put her head on his chest, revenants head ontop of hers.

His machinery hummed,sounding almost like a purr, he sighed and looked away,ready for the sassy quip to come.

--if you need a hug just tell me--jer said almost in a whisper.

He didnt answer and just hugged her tighter, eyes closed.

She softly pushed away, cupping his metal face with her hands and leaning in--im not gonna make fun of you

Should he let his guard down? Should he just shut up and leave?.

His walls were cracking, he knew it but fear held him back, he looked into her eyes trying to find the smallest of hints of malice in her gaze,and found nothing.

How much he hated it.

He hated the fact that she was so kind to everyone she met, always helping,always ready to make everyone feel happy, ready to support everyone.

She always told him she was there for him, always had her arms Open,he always declined.

But not today.

He pushed her closer, kissing her for a brief moment and falling on the bed,her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck.

His hands steadily on her waist and head on the crook of her neck.

Jericos cheeks heats up,letting out a soft coo, kissing the top of his head wrapped in the bandana.

He missed this touch,he missed this warmth,this closeness.

--if you ever need anything..come to me first,ill see what I can do

For a period of time,revenant thought nobody could do him any good,nobody could ever help him or do things for him.

Turns out, he was wrong.

He finally found softness in his life, and he'll protect it at any cost.

He hid his face further and whispered a soft "Thank you..." wishing to extend this moment for ever.

キツネと剣士 (Kitsune to kenshi)

●♤The Fox and the swordsman♤●

Summary: Samuel meets a girl while in town but as beautiful as she is a secret comes with her as well.

Chapter two: "Fox in sheeps clothing"

Wordcount: 977

Soft music plays as Samuel walks down on the road,after the last mission he asked for some days off,and after what happened you cant really blame him.

This place was busting with life,restaurants and foodplaces.

And the plaza was flooded in music and art, he liked the Calmness of the place.

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar gently weeps

His eyes search for the source, and land on a beautiful woman,playing her guitar while sitting on a bench.

He sighs softly softening his expression,she was truly beautiful.

I don't know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you

He sits with her and pulls off a flirty smile.

--Well hello~

And so they started to talk.

Every now and then they would meet in the plaza, and with each encounter he would be getting more convinced that the girl,jerico, was the one that saved him.

Those eyes he could never forget,she sounded just like her too, and all of his suspicions were made true once she saw the plushie he always carried.

--Its been a lucky charm,but I'd like it If you could keep it

Sam said,once again they met in the park.

--No no,please Keep it...

He took her hands and kisses her knuckles,looking up flirtyly.

--I insist...

Jeri rolls her eyes and holds his hands--Only on one condition....

--That is?

--Stay at my place?

--Of course

And like that they spend the whole day there,until night revelaed itself under the suns mantle.

Both go hand in hand as they go up to the womans appartment,really fancy, with an oriental theme that sam liked a lot.

--Make yourself comfortable Will you?dont go snooping around...I have my eyes on ya--Jeri comented as she went to the kitchen and he took a Seat on the sofa near the Window.

--I cant promise anything~

Both share a chuckle, the Mans chest was getting warmer and warmer with each day that he spend with her.

Its been more than maybe a month,work was calm,well as much as a private company of mercs could get, and he had few to None encounter with red Fox,wich to his surprise was getting him to feel uneasy.

You could never be sure.

He snaps out of his thoughts as the radio played music.

--Hope you dont mind !

-- not at all!

Still Curiosity took the best of him and he stood up silent as the dead and slowly Walked to her room, he was curious.

Her room was simple,a lot of paintings and art supplies, a big clóset and some gaming platforms.

A woman truly after his own heart.

Yet he noticed a little indent in one of the shelves.

A space small enough to fit a plushie.

He quickly takes out the Fox plush and places it on there,the whole wall surrounding the shelves turns around and his heart sunk.

red foxes armour stood there,sword,bow, the whole set

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar Gently weeps

He gets into a fit of rage, turning out of the room to see jerico standing there,staring at him in horror.

--Sam i--

--When were you going to tell me?!you almost got me Killed!

--Samuel please--

--Dont Samuel me jerico! Or red Fox, whatever your name is!

He starts to walk out of her room,the woman follows him trying to get him to calm down.

--Im so sorry I couldnt tell you before! You have to understand i--

Samuel feels two pair of arms around him before a head sinks into his back.

--i love you !

And he stops dead in his tracks.

I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you

i look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at you all

Still my guitar gently weeps

Then his back gets wet with salty tears.

--Oh sweet baby...

He mutters turning around and hugging jerico,putting her against his chest.

--I really really wanted to tell you...but please i--

He lifts her face up by the chin, leaning down.

--I wont leave you

Sam whispers.

--Y you wont?

--No...you stole my heart,and not even I am stupid enough to steal from the red Fox...

She giggles between sobs and kisses him, hugging his neck as his arm went around her waist and lifted her up, sitting her on the sofa and he on top of her,knees And arms trapping her.

--You could train me though,youre super lithe and fast

--Kiss me again and you got yourself a deal

--Thats your price? My my ~

And so he does.

His lips press against hers and hands caress her sides,gaining a soft whimper from her.

--Who would have thought that the infamous red Fox could be reduced to mush with one kiss....

--aight look i---

Her face gets one million kisses,she starts to giggle.

--Stop stop!!

--never! I got you trapped red Fox!nowhere to go now!

--Noooo!its my demise!

And they start to chase eachother around the house,culminating on both of them on the bed.

Sam rests his head on her chest,arms around her waist as she Strokes his hair.

--youre cute...

Both are sleepy,their eyes closing involuntarily.

--You too..

The Man giggles and lays besides her,making grabby hands at her to crawl closer,wich she obeys and wraps her legs around his waist.

--Night jeri...

--Night Sam...

Both fall asleep on their embrace, things were to come on a near future,but its nothing they couldnt deal with.
