Skipping
An excerpt, in which Ela drags a disgruntled Claude into skipping school with her. It's not like he wasn't already cutting class, anyways.
“Well, we’re outside. What now?”
“Hmm,” Ela hummed in thought. She didn’t answer.
“Elaaaaa. Where are we going? You know we can’t just go anywhere. If anyone sees us we’ll get in trouble. Worse, we’re wearing our uniforms. They’ll know exactly where to send us back if we’re caught.”
“Uh-huh,” she said. “Then don’t get caught? It’s simple as that.” She talked to him as if he was stupid. Maybe he was, for easily going along with this. For many other things.
“You know I don’t usually skip school like this, right?” They haven’t even done anything wrong yet he was already getting nervous.
“Then go back to school, good boy.”
“Ughhh.” That pissed him off for some reason. “The principal’s going to be so mad at us for this,” he muttered under his breath.
“…Let’s go to the city.”
“Wh-wha…?” He was surprised by the sudden proposition.
“That way we won’t get caught and nobody will recognise our uniforms. That should fit your requirements well enough.”
Ela dragged Claude behind her. Since they exited school grounds through the back, they had to walk all the way around to get to the front. There was a market just nearby the school and there were bound to be people there. Ela headed towards its direction. Realising this with a start, Claude pulled her back and kept her from moving forward.
“Stop, stop!” he said in a panic. “I thought we were trying not to get caught? Why are you bringing us there?!” Claude was in distress.
“We have to get to the city somehow. There’s bound to be more tricycles passing through where there are more people, and right now there aren’t any students waiting to commute back home by the school. Unless you expect us to get there by foot?”
“I haven’t even agreed to that yet!”
“You haven’t walked away yet either.”
That cowed him into silence. Sighing once again, she patted him on the back.
“Wait here,” she said before running off somewhere.
A while later, a passenger tricycle stopped nearby. Ela popped out from the cabin, waving Claude over. “Here, here! Come on!” she called out.
Claude reluctantly walked over. He heard the driver speaking to Ela.
“Really? You’re bringing another kid with you? I’m out there driving passengers so I could earn enough to attend night classes and you’re here cutting school. Worse still, you’re dragging another student with you!” The driver scolded Ela.
“Yeah, yeah,” she dismissed him with a wave. With the way they were acting, it didn’t seem to Claude like this was the first time they had this conversation.
“Come on, kuya, do me a favor here. Just take us to where the jeepneys are and we'll take one from there. It’s not like we’re not paying for the ride. I’ll even give you extra if you want?”
The driver sighed. “Fine, but I’ll take this as a regular ride. That means you’ll pay normal. Don’t try bribing me again.”
“Hehe, thank you~” Ela replied sweetly. It was a tone reserved for when she was sucking up.
Following that exchange, Ela urged Claude inside the cabin. The driver looked at him with displeasure and disapproval but didn’t scold anymore. After all that, Claude was too embarrassed to back out now. He went in and Ela followed after, closing the door. The tricycle sped away.

Sprout Fight Prompt 3: Umbrella | Dandelion Dreams Palette
Somewhat a continuation of my last art, though I wasn't planning on making this a 2 parter. Ron's just having a good laugh at how much of a sad wet cat Poiyo looks in the rain.

Clouds
“If you're going to lose your shape and disappear, then please take me with you.”
Words like that would sometimes come out from Ela's mouth. Mikah craned his neck to the side to look at him. A wistful look was in Ela's face, coloring him a sad yet soulful blue. Much like the sky that they were gazing at that day, speckled with fluffy white clouds.
“It’s a cloudy day today, let’s go cloud gazing,” Ela had suggested. It was one of the few pastimes he had that took him outside instead of staying cooped up inside all day. Mikah didn't mind it so much that he was so shut in, but any opportunity he had to get him under the sun to enjoy its warmth and the accompanying breeze was always a good thing. So he agreed, like he always would. Quiet moments spent together like this were always a treasure to be had.
‘Maybe it will help ease the burden in his heart, shifting gently in the wind until nothing but wisps remain.’ That was Mikah's quiet hope, that he would get to see the clear blue sky that was Ela's unclouded heart, free from the sorrows that always clung to him. Surely it was beautiful, even more so than it already was, shining brighter than the sky above them ever did.
“Like clouds in the sky, your sorrow won't always be with you. They'll pass right on by, sometimes without us even noticing.” It was a common metaphor, one they've exchanged multiple times, but Mikah believed in it and he wanted Ela to believe in it too.
He did not. “And just like clouds,” Ela replied, “once they've left, they'll come back soon enough. Sometimes as light and forgettable enough like last time, sometimes bigger and darker to blot out the whole sky. Will you drown in the rain that my sadness will inevitably unleash, or will you leave before that happens?” He asked him that, for what? To scare him, to get him to go away. But he won't.
“I'll stay with you like an anchor so that you don't get swept up by the waves.” That answer was enough for Ela to never say those words again, though Mikah knew it wasn't enough to fully wash away the sentiment. But at least he was always there to whisk away those thoughts whenever they cropped up.
This string of words, though. The words were simple and familiar, yet arranged like this, they were odd, almost foreboding. What did he mean, what did he want to say?
‘If you're going to lose your shape and disappear, then please take me with you.’
Those words weren't addressed to him, Mikah knew. Ela was always worried that the things he loved would disappear, leaving him even more barren than he already was—than he believed himself to be, but Mikah knew that wasn't true. How could it be true? Ela held so much love for him that even just that was enough to disprove that. And Mikah wasn't ever going away. He would stick by him until the end.
Mikah propped himself on his elbows so he could see him better. Lying down on the grass, Ela’s gaze remained still on the sky. He was aware that he was the one being watched now, Mikah knew. Ela was sensitive to being observed. But he kept his eyes trained on a cloud, not daring to let his eyes wander lest they lock in on Mikah’s own. The cloud was a huge one just a moment ago, almost a pure white by how thick it was. Now it had shrunk, the wind taking bit by bit off its soft edges and rendering it in two. If Ela looked away now, it would be gone without a trace.
But Mikah didn’t care about clouds, not really. He sat up fully, elbows getting tired. He leaned over Ela and blocked out the sky behind him.
“What are you thinking about?” he asked. If he couldn’t figure it out, he would just have to ask him.
Ela blinked rapidly at the sudden shadow cast over him. “I…” He was disorientated. His eyes had difficulty adjusting to sudden changes in light. It made him dizzy, unable to see.
Mikah leaned in closer, kissing him on the nose. When he pulled away, Ela’s vision returned to him. He was greeted by the face of the one who loved him most, smiling gently at him.
“Hmm, yes…?” Mikah pressed him lightly.
“I, I…” Ela bit the inside of his left cheek. He sighed. “Nevermind. Looking at the sky just makes me weirdly emotional, I guess.” He brushed it off like that, like how the wind blew away that cloud into nothing.
He couldn't say it anyway. It was an escalation of feelings that would only worry Mikah, and he didn't want to worry him.
Mikah wasn't satisfied with that answer, but he would get it out of his own mouth one day. He should know by now already anyway. Ela wasn't very good at hiding it from him, or he didn't bother much with hiding it.
Either way, Mikah shared his fear of losing that which he loved, and for his part, he had reason to believe it wasn't unfounded.

In another universe they are the friends ever . Why another universe? Because I uh, because I,, just BECAUSE . yeah...

There is exactly one girl in this group and it should be easy to tell who she is. Anyway boys in skirts is the balm for the soul (my soul at least!!) and I will be drawing more of them right after I remember how to draw again ajdhjwns
Anyway this is for the AU where nothing bad happens ever and they were all perfectly allowed to be themselves without worry. I imagine this is probably what they wear whenever they go to the city in the weekends since this is too overdressed for when they're just at home. Going shopping, eating at cafes, watching movies... Doing regular teenager things like hanging at the mall(?) instead of making deals with some kind of demon(??) in your backyard and killing people. Yeah. Ok tbf the deal thing and killing people only apply to Ela and Mikah but Claude is perfectly aware of that and just accepted it meanwhile Sun has no idea what they're doing and she's fine with it being that way. The only one with common sense here and she's noped out of the plot lol

My side of an art trade/collab with @blakerstreet !! In short we drew our magical boys together to make basically the same image but in our style (and here's his version of it!)
Left boy is mine (Pavlo) and the right boy is Blaker's (Sigurd). Coincidentally they're both green and blue with gold but have contrasting personalities, ain't that neat.
Below is the initial pose sketches I did that, while none of them were used, the two at the bottom were what we based our final poses on
