I gotta a request for you

TW: mentions of being sick (like a cold)

Ya girl is ill and in desperate need of fluff with Jake "Hangman" Seresin, Robert "Bob" Floyd (if your writing him rn), Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia like how they would be when your sick

Feel free to ignore this is you want

This is so cute! I have yet to write for Bob, it's on my 2024 plans don't worry. I'm ma just write some headcanons and not full stuffs cause I don't really have the time but I really wanted to do this now (it's getting late where I live)

TW: mentions of throwing up

Jake "Hangman" Seresin

first, he's clueless, he doesn't really know what to do. Is he supposed to cook for you? to help you blowing your nose?

if you get really sick to the point you empty your stomach at everything you eat, he tries to be as supportive as he can. holding your hair if it gets in your face? he can do that. rubbing your back when you feel like dying with your head on the toilet seat? he even kisses the back of your head and whispers sweet things to you

he desperately tries to cook you things you can keep; rice, chicken, whatever you need, he makes just so you feel better (spoiler alert, he's not really a great cook)

he even asks you if he needs to take a day or two off so he can take care of you but you promise him he doesn't need to (he respects your decision, he wouldn't have liked you missing work for him either)

he's a southern boy, he practically never gets sick so he takes that as an advantage to cuddle with you in bed and cover your face with sweet kisses

unfortunately, he does get sick and it's your turn to baby him all week

Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw

he knows what to do. he's been raised by the one and only Carole Bradshaw so he knows exactly what kind of food you need to get better asap

he surprises you with his cooking skills. he usually rarely cooks because he's not great either in front of a stove. but when you're not feeling good? that man turns into Gordon Ramsay for you

he even kept his mom's recipes from when he was not older than 15 when she used to cook him nice meals when he was sick

he's a cuddler, he doesn't care if he gets sick, he just wanna keep you safe and warm in his arms.

if you're feeling really bad, he even calls in sick with Mav to take care of you until you get better

Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia

that poor man goes full panic mode, he asks you if you're cold, if you're feeling nauseous, the whole interrogation

then he calls his mom, and you swear you hear him beg his mother for her secret recipes

I'm convinced this man is the definition of golden retriever energy, he just cannot stop running around. one moment he's wrapping you in his favorite star wars blanky, and the next one, he passing the front door, on his way to get some herbal tea

when you're all cosy on your couch, with Luke and Leia Skywalker wrapped around your shoulders, and the hot cup of tea in your hands, Mickey finally allows himself to calm down

even more when you ask him to pick a movie to watch together

Robert "Bob" Floyd

he's actually the one who notices you getting sick. when you start blowing your nose more often or clearing your throat with a grimace on your face

he looks up on the internet for some natural tips to dissipate a cold and it usually works without you noticing anything

but if you get really sick, he's a bit lost. just like Mickey, he'd call his parents for advice and his mom would help him cook you some food you can keep.

he doesn't care if you wake him up in the middle of the night when you flush the toilet or when you stumble on the bathroom floor to empty your stomach, as long as he's by your side through it, he's really doesn't care

maybe hell get sick with all the kisses he steals from you but he just can't get enough of the red flush of your cheeks and especially the tip of your nose

just a few scribbles of Cafe Owner!Reader x Yandere Dog!Gallagher. Honestly kinda wanna steal her away from Gallagher she's such a calming presence in my mind wijdjwks

Quick fluff-ish brainrots for an upcoming "WhoDrankIt?" (tentative title) coffee shop comic au utc. (cw: slight mentions of animal cruelty)

And no I'm not spoiling why cafe owner!reader went missing or any other major plotlines in these brainrots lmao

Kakavasha and Reader are very close friends ever since they heard each other complain about how hard getting a visa is lmao. The two of them admire each other's love for their family.

In this au, Kakavasha's family lives and he's happily venturing out to work for his parents' more smooth sailing retirement like his older sister. (Y/n), meanwhile, works abroad so she could be the breadwinner of her impoverished family. In a sense, they're very similar.

The two corporate slaves coworkers, Kakavasha and Jelena (Topaz) are regulars in (Y/n)'s cafe. Professor Veritas would sometimes drop by, not too often, to drink some herbal tea. Often claiming his visits are in moderation compared to Jelena, but when looking at the records in his bank account...

The three of them rarely pay by cash. Thankfully buying a card reader was a worthy investment...

(Y/n) just takes Gallagher to the cafe so he doesn't get too lonely at home.

And it's not a bad move. Gallagher is incredibly friendly, often mistaken as an actual cafe staff. He claims he is, but (Y/n) would correct people pronto. When Gallagher first met Firefly and Caelus, he immediately introduced himself as the cafe's security personnel... Which later earned him a proper taxi back home.

No matter how eager he is, (Y/n) really doesn't want people to think she's forcing her dog to work... Especially such an older looking one...

When getting pissed, (Y/n) would sometimes go to the backdoor just to heartily scream obscenities in a foreign language before coming back with a customer service smile. Gallagher thinks it's incredibly hilarious whenever she screams "HAYOP KA!" (you animal!) at the garbage bin.

Most of (Y/n)'s anger comes from her interactions with Sunday.

Won't go into detail to that yet but if their life was a fanfic, Jelena would tag it as "coffee shop au" and "enemies to ???"

Whenever (Y/n) gets too upset, it's Gallagher that brews something for her. 80% of the time, it goes on the menu. The other 20% are drinks Gallagher refuses to have anyone else taste but (Y/n). The recipes are also gatekept from her so she wouldn't try to tell it. Not that she would, anyways.

(Y/n) takes a very gentle approach to Gallagher. To her, he's no different than a roommate. Back home, it's common for poor families to neglect their pets- and that never sat right with her.

She still feels guilty about the time she had to watch her father abandon newborn kittens in a plastic bag because their family could no longer sustain them.

(Y/n) doesn't like recalling those memories. It's an era they couldn't help, given the economic decline. It's a period in her life where she's forced to mostly eat pure salt and boiled bananas due to their convenience rather than nutrition. Money was out of reach.

... She doesn't want any other creature to go through all that again.

#I think I'll just refer to Penacony as USA in the comics ejsjiwidjajw #I cant help but make a hamilton reference forgive me lmao #There's something comfy about php!reader and romani coded aventurine being pals idk what to tell you tbh is that controversial to say😭 /gen #yandere gallagher #yandere gallagher x reader #$ whodrankit #gallagher x reader #$ monthly reader's beloved

Doppo Kunikida & sick reader! (requested)

warnings: none! pure fluffy fluff. kuni has a crush

— So, Kunikida doesn’t think too much of it when you’re gone the first day. I mean, it’s strange you don’t leave a note, but.. Maybe you’re simply busy with personal matters? Then day two passes by, and you didn’t leave a single note or message or email to anyone at the agency

— Instant panic mode ™️ “Oh God, what if they’ve been kidnapped or injured? Or worse???”

— The first place he thinks to check is your home. You don’t answer your door, but he hears the loud groan from inside when he knocks.

— So, with a hasty “I’m coming in,” he damn near breaks down your door.. to see you, sprawled out on the couch with empty takeout boxes, tissues, and some pill bottles scattered across the floor near you

— Your poor face is flushed and feverish, and you look so miserable.. you can barely open your eyes to look at Kunikida

— His heart almost stops at the sight of you :(( He can’t not take care of you now, ruined schedule be damned! (Even if it does make his heart ache to think about all the work he’s missing,,)

— Kuni’s a whirlwind, tbh. He fixes up your living room in under 5 minutes, even dusts a little.. And then when that’s done, he’s crowding around your space like a mother hen

— “Hush, you idiot. I can’t believe you didn’t even think to message m- Anyone in the agency! Clearly you can’t take proper care of yourself in this state.. Just be silent and let me take over from here, understood?”

— He’s a sweet pea, he makes you herbal tea and hot soup to soothe your sinuses and your throat.. Kuni is a big fan of natural medicine (and he also wants to cook for you, but shh)

— Still, he makes sure you take medication that you need… All those pill bottles on your floor were a recipe for disaster if ever there was one

— He checks your temperature by pressing his hand to your forehead or cheek.. His heart melts when you lean into his touch with a pleased hum

— Stop! You’re gonna make his heart break if you keep being so precious >:( Kuni can’t focus on his obvious feelings for you rn, he needs to take care of you!!!!!

— Doesn't leave your side for even a moment. If you need privacy, he’ll be standing right outside the door of wherever you are or turning away to face a wall, but he won’t leave you

— He’s just there with you all day, nursing you back to health and giving you his undivided attention which is undoubtedly rare for him

— The day ends, and your fever’s gone down quite significantly… maybe you’re too dazed and sleepy to notice, but Kunikida is heaving a sigh of relief at this

— Still he insists he stay the night, just in case. You don’t seem to mind, and before long you’re laying in bed, passed out as Kuni dozes in an armchair in the corner of the room

— Maybe tomorrow morning you’ll both be well and calm enough to talk about how Kunikida treated you less like a coworker and more like.. Something else. But in that moment, you were both getting some well deserved rest.

Ayurvedic Secrets to Radiant Skin: Understanding Your Dosha and Simple Homemade Skincare

In the pursuit of healthy, glowing skin, many of us seek solutions in expensive creams, serums, and treatments. But what if the key to vibrant skin lies in ancient wisdom that's been practiced for centuries?

Welcome to the world of Ayurveda, where the holistic approach to skincare goes beyond topical treatments to address the root causes of skin imbalances.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, often called the "science of life," is an ancient healing system that originated in India thousands of years ago. At its core is the belief that our well-being is intricately connected to the balance of three fundamental energies known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Understanding Your Dosha:

Each person is born with a unique combination of these doshas, which influence not only our physical characteristics but also our mental and emotional tendencies. By identifying your dominant dosha, you can tailor your skincare routine to address specific skin concerns effectively.

Vata Dosha: If you have Vata-dominant skin, you may notice tendencies toward dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Vata skin often feels parched and is prone to premature aging. To nurture Vata skin, focus on moisturizing and nourishing practices.

Skincare Routine: Massage your skin with warm sesame oil to deeply moisturize and improve circulation. Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and rich, emollient creams to lock in moisture.

Homemade Recipe: Create a hydrating face mask by mixing mashed avocado with honey and a few drops of almond oil. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Pitta Dosha: Pitta-dominant skin tends to be sensitive, prone to redness, inflammation, and occasional breakouts. Excessive heat and stress can exacerbate Pitta imbalances, leading to increased oiliness and irritation.

Skincare Routine: Opt for cooling and soothing ingredients like cucumber, aloe vera, and sandalwood. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliants that can aggravate inflammation.

Homemade Recipe: Make a calming face pack by mixing sandalwood powder with rose water and a pinch of turmeric. Apply it to clean skin, leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Kapha Dosha: Kapha-dominant skin tends to be oily, prone to congestion, and enlarged pores. Kapha imbalances can result in dullness, blackheads, and a lack of vitality.

Skincare Routine: Focus on purifying and detoxifying practices to balance excess oil and congestion. Use gentle, oil-balancing cleansers and lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers.

Homemade Recipe: Create an invigorating scrub by mixing ground oats with yogurt and a pinch of turmeric. Gently massage it onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.

General Ayurvedic Skincare Tips: In addition to dosha-specific practices, there are some general principles of Ayurvedic skincare that benefit all skin types:

Practice Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm oil, to promote relaxation and improve circulation.

Drink herbal teas like chamomile or tulsi to reduce internal inflammation and support overall well-being.

Maintain a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep, regular exercise, and stress management to promote skin health from the inside out.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to skincare that emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit. By understanding your dosha and incorporating simple, homemade remedies into your skincare routine, you can unlock the secrets to radiant and healthy skin naturally. Remember, consistency and mindfulness are key to achieving lasting results. So, embrace the wisdom of Ayurveda and let your inner glow shine through!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance on your Ayurvedic skincare journey.

Simple Glamours

Today, I'll be going over four easy glamours. These are things that you can incorporate into your daily routine, if you're looking to work with them frequently. If you have questions about glamour magic, feel free to drop them in my ask box. I'll go into more intermediate and advanced glamours as time goes on, but I want to start with a few beginner-friendly posts.

1. Enchant an item that you will be wearing. This can be clothing or jewelry. Pick a quality or trait that you want others to see in you for the day. You'll then state your intentions into this item before putting it on. Remember that when stating intent, you're going go want to properly channel your energy. There are two ways that are common, the first being visualization of a color that flows through your hands into the object. However, this is not as powerful as letting your energy flow into the object via your Wellsource (think of it as the source of all your untapped energy & power, it is limitless). Let it come from that source of power within you, flowing into your desired object as you speak the words aloud. I will speak more about how to tap into this source in the near future.

2. Shower/bathe with moon water. Add a little into it, it doesn't have to be much. If showering, pour it over your hair and skin once. You can add a drop or two of rose or lavender oil to the bottom of your shower for the steam to rise and relax you. Create an herbal bag (tea bag) and tie it to your shower head to release. If you take baths, do the same by putting it in a tea bag for a mess-free clean-up. Make sure they are safe for skin contact. I also recommend doing a negative energy release visualization or meditation before exiting the bath/shower.

3. Wear makeup? You can draw sigils or intentions into your foundation before blending it in. I've seen people draw it into eyeshadow as well before blending but I'm not as talented with an eyeshadow brush. You can with your lipstick, for example, add intent to do a specific thing associated with the color (red for passion, attention, and lust, as an example). Do this with your eyeshadow, eyeliner, and blush as well. If you wear black eyeliner, look to it for protection as you put it on. Opportunities are endless in this area!

4. Make a few batches of anointing oils for different purposes. Draw sigils onto your skin that are not visible to others once it soaks in. You can enchant the oil to have others see you a particular way, if you wish. Use a come-to-me oil to attract things to you. Use a money oil when you go to work to generate more income. Use a self-love oil to boost your confidence. Have anxiety? Make a calming one to not only give a collected appearance but to help you get through the day in general. Need ideas on how to make these? Let me know and I'll post some recipes.

Glamour magic is a great thing to learn, even if you don't feel you'll use it much. There are times when it is absolutely handy and it comes unexpectedly. That being said, I hope y'all have some fun with this! Practice different variations, document it in a journal, and learn what works best for you.

You Are Loved

Hello tk community!! I wouldn't say I'm entirely new to the tk community but I have only just started interacting VERY recently. However, I feel like I need to start posting some of the fics I have in my head, so why not start it off with some lee!Thoma???

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Ships/Pairings: Thoma/Ayato (Romantic)

lee!Thoma, ler!Ayato

Summary: Ayato can't sleep again and finds Thoma sitting outside by himself. Wanting to cheer up his friend, Ayato decides to take matters into his own hands.

Contains: Sfw, Angst, Fluff

Word Count: 2128

====================================

Ayato can't sleep.

This isn't new for him. He's been tossing and turning in bed for the last three hours, and still isn't tired in the slightest. Just like always, he has so much paperwork to go through and event details to confirm that the stress is eating away at him, forcing him to stay up.

Usually he would fight it and try to meditate, but even that isn't working. It's on nights like these when Ayato goes to the kitchen to prepare himself some herbal tea to help him sleep, which is exactly what he's doing now.

Walking to the kitchen in his pajamas, he thinks back to the time Thoma introduced this remedy to him...

* * *

Ayato's stress and insomnia were keeping him up, so he decided to get some fresh air. Going outside, he saw Thoma sweeping the deck. "Thoma?" he had asked. "What are you doing up so late? And outside at that."

"My Lord! I was just finishing up some duties before I went to bed. I'd rather do them now than worry about them tomorrow." Thoma laughed. "May I ask...what are you doing up so late? I would have thought you'd be asleep at this time of night."

"Well, Thoma, I was trying to...but the stress of all of my paperwork isn't allowing it. I thought some fresh air might help." He smiled at Thoma, "And please, Thoma, call me Ayato when we're alone. We're friends, no?"

"Y-yes my Lor- Ayato. Yes, Ayato. Sorry." He laughed softly, happy that Ayato still thinks of him as a close friend, though still a little saddened that he would never be anything more than that.

"If you want," he continued, "I know a recipe for a kind of tea that help with sleep. Would you mind if I made it for you?"

"No, Thoma. It's far too late, I'd loathe having to delay your rest."

"It's fine my- It's fine, Ayato, " Thoma spoke, catching himself, "I don't mind! I want to help you. Its the least I could do."

Knowing Thoma wouldn't take no for an answer, Ayato answered, "Alright, Thoma."

* * *

Now that Ayato thinks about it, Thoma has helped him through so much. If he weren't afraid of his answer, he would even ask Thoma to be more than friends, but that doesn't seem too likely, considering their circumstances.

As the tea leaves and herbs steep in the pot, Ayato looks out the window, suprised by what he sees -- Thoma, outside sitting against the wall, knees to his chest, head in his knees.

He's never seen Thoma look like...this. He looks...sad. Ever since Ayato had first met Thoma, he's always been so positive and upbeat, smiling to anyone and everyone he could. It looks so odd to see him like this. It doesn't feel right.

Forgetting about the tea, Ayato steps outside into the cool midnight air, and walks towards him. "Thoma?" he asks softly.

Thoma looks up quickly, a look of panic on his face. "M-my lord! Um...is everything alright? Do you need anything?" He asks hurriedly. Ayato thinks he can almost hear him sniffling.

Ayato bends down to sit by him, putting his hand on his back and urging him to calm himself. "Thoma, calm down. What are you doing out here?" he asks. Though it was hard to tell because of the dark moonlit sky, Ayato notes that Thoma's eyes look a bit red and swollen. "And what have I told you?" he says softly, "Call me Ayato when we're alone. Okay?"

"S-sorry, m- Ayato. I- I just wanted to get some fresh air before bed. Why do you ask?" Thoma put a smile on his face, but Ayato knew something wasn't right. It doesn't feel like a real Thoma smile.

"Thoma...are you alright?" he asks softly, his hand still on his back, seemingly holding Thoma in place.

"Y-yes," Thoma's smile faltered for a moment, "Why wouldn't I be?" he asked, looking away from Ayato quickly.

"Thoma, what's wrong? Don't try and hide. It's okay, you can tell me." Ayato spoke calmly, making his voice as soft as he could as to provide some sort of comfort to his...friend.

"I-" Thoma doesn't know what to say. Everytime he's ever come out here to cry he's been alone. He's made sure that it was enough so everyone was asleep -- even if Ayato was having insomnia. So why was he out here now?

Unbeknownst to Thoma, while he was silently panicking, silent tears leaked out of his closed eyes, sniffling softly. Ayato heard, carefully putting his palm on Thoma's cheek, turning his head to face him. "Thoma..." he said, thumbing away at his tears, "Hey, its okay. I'm here, its okay."

With Ayato's soft words, the dam that Thoma had tried so hard to hold, broke. Thoma turns into Ayato, sobbing into his shoulder, staining his pajamas with his tears while his friend whispers sweet nothings into his ear while carding one hand through his hair while the other was rubbing comforting circles into his back.

After quite some time, Thoma's muffled sobs quieted to sniffling. Continuing his comforting movements, Ayato whispered, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Um...I..." Thoma said slowly.

"You don't have to," Ayato rushed. "If you don't want to, you don't have to. I'm just worried about you, is all."

"N-no, it's alright." Thoma started. "It's just that...when I went to Inazuma city today..." he said, tightening his grip on Ayato slightly.

"Yes?" Ayato continued comforting Thoma with his hands, playing with his hair and rubbing his back.

"S-some people...they said that I...don't belong here. They kept going on about how I shouldn't be in Inazuma and that the only reason I work for you is because you feel bad for me. They kept saying how an outsider like me doesn't belong here and how you only keep me around because I do most of the housework. They've always said these things but I just couldn't take it anymore and-" Ayato, noticing how Thoma's breathing and speech is starting to speed up, stops him before any more tears could fall.

"Hey, hey, hey. None of that is true, Thoma." He comforted. "You know that I don't keep you here because I feel bad for you. I keep you around because I..." Ayato paused. On the one hand, Thoma really needs to hear this, but on the other, Ayato's so scared of letting his feelings be known. He's scared that Thoma will reject him right there. However, comforting Thoma is what matters right now, so, continuing what he was going to say, he takes a deep breath, "I love you, Thoma. I love you somuch. So does Ayaka, and Yoimiya, and Itto. Thoma you are so loved. Don't take anything those people say to be true, because they're wrong, okay?"

"O-okay." Thoma frowned.

"Hey, where's that smile I so adore? Hm?" Ayato asked, a playful grin appearing on his face.

"Um..." Thoma tried to smile, but Ayato could still see the hurt behind his eyes.

"Oh come on Thoma, you can do better than that~" He said, playfully dragging a finger against where Thoma's sides meet his back.

Thoma squeeled. He squeeled. 'That was cute.' Ayato thought, becoming flustered for a moment, his sheeks turning pink before regaining his composure and continuing with his playfulness, quietly saying, "Oh? Don't tell me my dear housekeeper is ticklish. Is my dear Thoma ticklish?" Ayato added another finger to accompany the one already dragging up and down Thoma's backside.

Saying Thoma is flustered is a very, very big understatement. 'Did he just call me his dear?' He thought, giggling at the ticklish sensations Ayato's fingers was giving. "N-nohoho! A-Ayato! Wahahahait! Nohohoho!" He giggled, hiding his red face in the crook of Ayato's neck.

"There's that smile~" Ayato cooed, sneaking his other hand under Thoma's shirt and lightly scribbling at his sides. "Your laugh is so cute Thoma. It never fails to make me happy, and thats because whenever I see you happy, I instantly become happy as well. Does this tickle? Does it tickle here, Thoma~?" he teased.

"Ahh! Nohohoho! Plehehehease nohohot THAHAHAT! AYATO WAHAHAHAIT!" Thoma laughed, Ayato's other hand sneaking into his shirt and lightly clawing at his back. With the tickling and Ayato's teasing and complimenting, Thoma might actually die. Death by tickling. Actually, if it was because of Ayato, it doesn't sound too bad.

Thoma forced his mouth shut and smushed his red and overheating face against Ayato's neck even harder, trying to muffle his laughter while his eyes were screwed shut. "Mph! Mhmhmhmhmhehehe! C'mon stohohop!"

Ayato only smirked more. "Oh? Playing hard to get~? Well then, up we go!" Ayato laughed, easily picking up Thoma bridal style, one hand tickling behind Thoma's knee while the other was still working on his bare side.

"AHH! Ayatohoho nohohoho! Put me down! Ahahahaha! Nohohoho" Thoma hid his face against Ayato's shoulder now, not wanting to wake anyone up so they could see this...embarrassing...situation.

Tickling and carrying Thoma, Ayato walked them to his own room and carefully lowered Thoma onto his futon, straddling his waist, never letting up on his attack for even one second.

After he got on top of Thoma, who now seemed to flush even brighter, Ayato took both of his hands in one of his own and pinned them above his head, lowering his free hand to Thoma's armpit, not tickling, but just wiggling his fingers above it, teasing him.

"Hehehe noho! Dohohon't!" Thoma giggled, hiding his face against his arm.

Ayato lowered his face so his mouth was against Thoma's ear, smiled and whispered, "What? Don't what, Thoma?"

"Tickle me! WAIT-" With that, Thoma fell perfectly into Ayato's trap. Ayato lowered his hand into Thoma's armpit and lightly scribbled against it.

Thoma lost it. "NOHOHOHOHO! WAITWAITWAIT IHIHIHI DIDN'T MEHEHEAN IT! NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHERE!" He is sure that his laughter woke up some of the servants, but Ayato doesnt mind -- he'd rather see Thoma happy and have his workers woken up by his laugher than seeing him how he was just a few minutes ago.

"Not here? Hmm...? What about here?" Ayato teased, stopping his attack on Thoma's armpit and instead lowered a finger into Thoma's bellybutton, exposed by his shirt that has ridden up his chest.

"No! Nonononono plehease! Nohot thehEHEHERE! AYATOHOHOHO! NAHAHA-" Thoma's laughed turned silent as Ayato swirled his finger around his navel. Tears of mirth were now flowing down his face instead of the sad tears of earlier.

As Ayato was still wiggling his finger in Thoma's seemingly most sensitive spot, he felt a tapping on the hand pinning Thoma's hands, and he stopped, releasing Thoma's hands and asking, "Are you okay? I didn't go too rough did-" Ayatos question was cut short as Thoma leaned on his forearms and kissed Ayato. Ayato kissed back.

Oh.

Suprised and smiling after they pulled apart, Ayato stuttered, "T-Thoma! Hehe...uh..."

Thoma panicked, thinking Ayato was upset about what he had just done but didn't want to show it. "O-oh! I'm sorry my Lord! I- I didn't mean to-" He was cut short by Ayato himself.

"No! Nonono Thoma, don't be sorry! I...I liked it. Dont worry. I liked it." He said, cupping Thoma's face and kissing him again, smiling through the kiss and as they pulled apart. "I've liked you for so long. When I saw you outside I was worried that something had happened. I...I said I love you. And I meant it, Thoma. I do love you. And many other people love you too. You deserve to be here. Don't let anyone tell you or make you think otherwise."

Getting up, Ayato decided that he was going to bring that tea he started steeping and share it with Thoma. "I'll be back in a minute. You can change into a pair of my pajamas. Theyre in the closet. They might be slightly large for you, but they should be fine." he smiled, stepping out and shitting the door behimd him, making his way to the now lukewarm tea and pouring two cups.

Returning to his room, he was greeted by the sight of Thoma already asleep on the futon, softly snoring on his side. Not wanting to wake him, Ayato gently and quietly set the teacups on the table and went to get the blanket out of the closet. Blowing out the candles, he layed next to Thoma, settling the blanket over the both of them.

Wrapping his arm around Thoma and nuzzling into the back of his neck, Ayato sleepily said, "I love you Thoma. I'll see you in the morning." smiling against the nape of Thoma's neck, breathing in Thoma's sweet scent, both of the men drifting into a peaceful rest, cuddled together.

End.

(Part.1) (Part.2)

Summary: Since they had lunch together, Hunter thinks about Colin and can't help but smile like an idiot. Because everything about this guy is so natural and sympathetic. As well as being sexy...

Word count: 3135 words

Warnings: Language, mentioning high school bullying, a lot of blushing >.<

A/N: Hey! 👋🏼 Welcome back to this series! I really loved this Colin x Hunter duo and the chemistry between them. So here's a new episode for ya! Sorry for the delay, btw. I believe "Good things take time." is supremacy. So I have to give my 100% in everything I do. 🙈 Last but not least, I was inspired by Mare's mother when I wrote Hunter's. Cuz their cat-dog relationship was just gorgeous back in the show. 😭

I hope you like this hilarious part as much as I am! 💗

"Let's do this."

Hunter cracked an egg into the pan and began to stir it, a cheerful whistle escaping her lips. Her damp wavy hair fell over her shoulders and left small wet spots on her gray T-shirt.

“Oh my... look at that little savage!” Hunter’s mother appeared at the kitchen door with a raised eyebrow.

“Is she really smiling, or am I delusional?”

"What? What smile?" Hunter vanished her dreamy smile immediately and continued. "You're delusional!"

Frankly, she was thinking about yesterday, Colin's gentlemanlike manners, sweet talks, and prominent dimples. But of course, she was never gonna say these to her mom.

"My egg was nearly burning! Don't distract me." She warned her mother and quickly picked up his scrambled eggs with a spatula, placed them on his toast, then added a few slices of avocado & some spices. And voilà! It was ready to go down to her stomach. Hunter looked proud for a moment when she made an herbal tea for herself. It was definitely a delicious breakfast food with minimum effort.

"Are you a freaking Gordon Ramsy or something now?" Her mother teased her, laughing, but it didn't even bother Hunter.

"Oh, fuck off, Martha Stewart! This recipe is fire!"

She took a huge bite of her masterpiece and yelled, her eyes shut.

"OHH, YUMMY! That Gordan Ramsy guy can kiss my ass!"

Obviously, she was joking around. She is not a good cook but loves to pretend like she is. On the other hand, her mother was happy to see that Hunter had something other than cereal, bacon, or just bread for breakfast. But...

"Honey, you're a bit extra today."

Since Hunter started the day with unusual happiness, of course, this did not go unnoticed by her mother.

"I guess... I know the secret behind this joy." Her mother laughed meaningly and leaned against the door frame, observing her. At that moment, Hunter decided not to show her any color and ate her toast silently.

Yes, she woke up in a happy mood today. Because yesterday was pretty good. After a long time, she had a tasty burger & a large-sized cola. And also, finally, she had understood by a man after ages. So, Why shouldn't she be happy now?

"Go on, tell me about it. I'm all ears."

"What? What are you talkin' about?" Hunter slurred as if she didn't understand the question. She was nervously smiling.

"Oh, really?"

Her mother sighed and briefly rolled her eyes. Cause she knew pretty well that her daughter only smiles like an idiot if she catches feelings from someone. It was that simple yet quite rare for her at the same time. Cause Hunter usually prefers one-night stands and has never been in a relationship. But now, she thought it could be possible in the near future. Who knows?

"You know damn well what I'm talking about, young lady." Her mother continued. She was so curious about it.

"I'm asking, who was that eye candy beside you the other day? I saw you on my way home. And you two looked very intimate to me. So... I wanna know every detail."

Eye candy? Intimacy? Oh, come on, ma! She thought in frustration. Dammit! Sometimes this town is so freaking smaller than it is.

"Why the surprise face? Like you don't know him? How long have you been chatting, eh?"

As her mother started to wink mischievously, "OH, GOD!! STOP IT!" Hunter shouted with embarrassment, then shoved her last big bite into her mouth to avoid talking. She didn't want her mother to talk about Colin like he was her boyfriend or something. It was pretty embarrassing. Cause they didn't even friends in the first place.

But it looks like she will continue to deliberately embarrass her daughter.

"Oh, come on now! I'm your goddamn mother! And daughters always talk about their crushes to their moms! NOW, spill the beans already!

Hunter sighed. There was no way to escape, so...

"He was just a random guy," She replied casually. And then, "Actually... He's a police officer. A detective, like Mare." she added hesitantly, couldn't be sure whether to give her that information but...

“His name is Colin. And... He just moved into our town. Recently, he looked at Ms.Lange’s case with Mare. So yeah, I saw him a couple of times.”

She was suddenly acting timid.

"And yesterday... After visiting Ms.Lange at the hospital, he wanted to grab a bite somewhere. And... since he's a newbie and I'm a local girl, I took him to Apple Pie'rre. That's all. That's the story you hyped up about."

"Was that all?"

"Yeah! What else could it be?"

She looked like she didn’t believe her daughter one bit.

"Oh, don't even try to lie to me, girl! I'm your mother and also I’m a woman of love. I can sense these things. It was a date, right? Come on! Tell me the truth." Her mother said while wiggling her brows meaningly, thinking that she gave courage to her daughter to open up. But in fact, she was only embarrassing her.

"MOM, STOP IT!! You're being delusional again." Hunter wanted to hide her face from her mom but didn't do it. Because that would mean she accepted the allegation.

"God! Why are you blushing, then? You're being suspicious."

After a short denial session, she broke her silence.

"It was not a fucking date. Okay?" When Hunter threw a severe look at her mother, she felt compelled to step back involuntarily. Because she knew her daughter didn't like being backed into a corner.

"Alright... Whatever you say, cupcake. I believe you. Just let me know when things get intense, okay?"

Hunter didn't answer; she just took a sip of that herbal tea and continued to shake his knee nervously. She still couldn't believe she had let her mother interrogate her. Yet she had never told her mother about her love life (even her life) before. Why had she told her about Colin now? She didn't understand. It was a silly sloppy move of hers.

"Oh, sweetheart! I was just teasing you but okay, let's drop this conversation before your cheeks burn. Could you please hand me my water flask?" Again, her mother teased her one last time and immediately returned to their everyday conversation.

"I'm gonna go to my yoga class with the truck. So I hope you'll find a way to attend your sister's school meeting on time."

Hunter finished half of her tea and poured the rest into the sink. It got already cold, thanks to her mom (!)

"You know, I'll be there on time. I don't miss any of her school meetings."

"Alright, then. I'm off! Take care of yourself, honey."

She took the truck's keys and headed to the front door as Hunter lazily waved after her.

"Drive safely!"

Then, when the door closed, she couldn't help but scream at the kitchen walls in embarrassment.

"GOD! IT WAS JUST A LUNCH!!"

Hunter felt superheated in a way she didn't want to feel. But that was because of the stupid, unnecessary conversation just now. It had absolutely (!) nothing to do with last night's dream of Colin holding her. Not at all.

It's all because of that weird 'dating' talk.

“As if it could happen?" She spoke to herself, pressing her cold hands to her burning cheeks to cool them down.

Yeah… It was definitely because of that. Not the dream. She thought.

Not even a little bit.

Colin was happy for no reason that morning. He had woken up early, taken a hot shower, freshly shaved his face, and had an excellent breakfast with his mom. Before leaving the house, he had forgotten his coffee thermos, but it didn't bother him this time. Not at all.

"Alright, Zabes! Duty calls you." Colin talked to himself as he parked his car in front of the local high school. He had just visited here to talk to a teacher who had witnessed a stabbing incident last night and take his statement.

"Let's talk with that teacher and see what we got." Colin took his notepad and got out of the car by saying it himself.

The weather outside was much nicer today, and the sun warmly embraced his shoulders for the first time since he arrived in this town. So Colin did not regret not wearing his coat today.

He breathed in the fresh air and walked towards the school's front gate. It was almost lunchtime, but the bell hadn't rung yet. He didn't mind because it was a good thing the corridors were empty. So he could get to the teachers' lounge quickly to find the man. And that's what exactly happened.

"So... Mr. ...?"

"Calivanger."

"Yeah, Mr.Calivanger. Didn't you say you saw one more man at the crime scene?" Colin asked. The best thing he was good at was asking questions.

"Yes, I did, but I was confused back then. Cause, you know... It was pretty dark, and I was far from the crime scene."

"Where were you?"

"Oh, I was at my home and saw them from the window. When the man stabbed and fell on the ground, my wife told me to call the police. So..."

Colin slowly nodded when he wrote down what the man said. And suddenly, he missed the days when he was solving murder cases. In his previous station...

Here was a small town, and as he observed so far, generally, cases were just actual bodily harm. They were simple cases. But Colin didn't mind anymore. Because he eventually started to like this town.

Started to like the peace and closeness, the sunsets, the people, and especially a woman...

"Okay, Mr.Calibanger. Thank you for your cooperation. I wish you a nice day."

"Uh... Thank you, detective."

As he walked out the door, an angry shout was heard.

“Bitch, shut the fuck up!”

"Miss, can you please calm down? It was not a big deal. Let me tell you the scene all over."

A couple of girls and two women were discussing something over there. And Colin wondered what's the issue.

"What is happening there?"

"Uh... I don't know, but it looks like an angry parent." Mr.Calivanger replied anxiously. “I wouldn’t want to be there.”

Troublesome parents, Colin thought as he returned his gazes to them. Jeez... What is wrong with these people? It’s class time. Shouldn't they discuss it somewhere outside the building?

"Thanks again, Mr.Cali... banger," Colin faltered but continued anyway. "I'll take a look before I leave."

"It's Calivanger, dickhead." The teacher said in frustration, but Colin was already made his way to the end of the hallway where the fight was happening.

The closer he got, the more clearly he could hear their voices. And see their visuals... Unfortunately, there was a problem, and one of the actors in the scene was Hunter.

"Oh girl, whatchu doin' there?" He mumbled and stopped to watch them from a safe distance without making any sound.

They were still fighting over an issue. But what was the issue?

"Apparently, these bitches were bullying my sister the whole time. Unbelievable!”

Hunter held her sister's shoulder protectively and kept mercilessly roasting the teacher.

“How could you shut your eyes to this, Mrs.Markle? Look at that! Look at her face!"

Colin narrowed his eyes and saw the girl's blood stainted nose and red face, damaged by small scratch marks.

Oh my... He got shocked and felt sorry for the poor girl. Apparently, there was a HUGE bullying issue. And Hunter had a right to be overprotective right now. Although he was an only child, Colin knew what it felt like to see a loved one hurt.

"We didn't do anything! She wanted to care for my cat, but as you can see, she couldn't manage." One of the cheap Britney wannabes talked semi-crying. "My poor Wandle was literally terrorized by her. So stop yelling at us! We're innocent." And add a little sob at the end of her shitty speech. That was absolutely a play. And not even well-played.

"And also, we're minors. So you're technically bullying minors! You psycho bitch!"

Oh, girl... Colin thought, still watching the scene silently in the back. They're basically testing her patient.

"Oh fucking..." Hunter sighed and took a deep breath while she tried to keep her sanity. She looked so done at the moment.

"Okay, then explain the punch."

"What punch?" One of them asked while chewing her gum like she knew nothing about it.

"I'm talking about the punch your lousy cat threw at my sister!"

The girls thought for a moment, and one of them, the blonde one, broke the silence:

"Cats can't throw punches, silly."

"OH, MY GOD!! I'mma chop your empty head off!" Hunter yelled in rage and tried to walk up to them, but the school bell rang, and all the students started to run for their freedom. That way, Hunter's movement was interrupted.

"Please, calm down. I'm begging you. Let's talk about this in my office." The teacher suggested, but Hunter didn't even move an inch where she stood. She sure would turn those bitches 'slap maniacs' if they weren't at the school and were of legal age. Even Colin could assume that.

"Enough. Please, let's go. You're embarrassing me." Her sister begged her silently, but Hunter didn't reply or move. Instead, she stood there with her arms folded tightly across her chest, like a rock in a raging river. It was such an impressive pose that Colin could not take his eyes off her for a moment.

When the students vacated the hallway in seconds, the group was still there, and Hunter was ready to continue to fight as before.

"Just admit your quilt already, girls," Hunter suggested calmly. "I promise I won't hurt your pretty nails."

None of them spoke.

"We didn't do anything. Right, Lilly? Tell her." The redhead broke silence this time. It was clear from the timbre of her voice that they were putting pressure on Lilly.

"Y-Yeah, it's true. They didn't do anything to me. I just fell from a tree when I tried to save Wandle. Now, please, let's go. I'm hurt."

Hunter listened to her sister carefully and then -never wanted to but- decided to let it go. But of course, from now on, she would keep an eye on these three bully.

God... How long have they been using my sister like this? She thought in frustration. Why didn't I realize sooner? Also, they were only sixteen-seventeen. How can they be so cruel?

"Okay, Lily. I believe you. But if I see you like this again..."

Hunter threw dead glares at those three and continued, "I swear to God, I do what I gotta do."

The girls trembled with fear, knowing what Hunter was capable of, but they held their heads high and approved her. And Hunter's tantrum safely ended there.

"Good."

When the teacher and the girls almost ran away, Hunter hushed for a while. She was still taking deep breaths, trying to control the beast inside her.

"I'm sorry, Abe." Lilly's trembling voice was heard.

"Please don't tell Mom. I know I should've more-"

"Shut up, Lilly!" Hunter interrupted her, shouting. "Just shut your fucking mouth full of lies and go wait outside. I'll talk to you later at home when I calm down."

Lily didn't talk back. Instead, she just clenched her teeth and did what she was told. Her hair, blonde unlike her sister's, resembled a bird's nest from behind.

"Oh, God..."

As she left, Hunter sighed and stayed still for a few minutes. Then she turned around and found Colin right before her. The moment when she needed him the most... he was right there.

"Detective? Hi... What are you doing here?"

She realized her voice sounded fragile and weak but could do nothing.

"I... I just came to talk to a teacher about a case. But I gotta tell you, I didn't expect to see you."

"Yeah, me too."

As Colin watched her uncomfortable little moves, she averted her slightly full eyes. It was embarrassing for her to show her feelings to him again.

He's gonna think that I'm weak. She thought. But it was unnecessary thinking. Cause he hadn't changed his thoughts about her. She was still the strongest to him. Inside and outside.

"I wish it was a beautiful coincidence, but... I must say, though. You are a good sister."

"What?" Hunter blinked a few times in surprise and wondered, has he been watching them this whole time?

"I mean... It was bold of you to take on four people to protect your sister. And you handled it very well for a person with anger issues."

Colin wanted to cheer her up. Cause the tension and sadness around her were heavy that he could sense it.

"I'm not gonna lie. At first, I thought you would end up at the police station again, but you surprised me."

"I surprised myself too..." She giggled numbly.

"I'm sure you heard it often, but your sister doesn't look like you at all."

"Physically, right? Yeah." Hunter replied shortly. Her mind was a mess. She wanted to flee and find a hole to bury her miserable head like a fucking ostrich.

"She looked so angry when she left. Will she be okay? Not gonna check her?"

"Nah..." Hunter was so upset for scolding her, but what was done was done. "I... I don't think she wants to see me for a while."

"Why is that?" Colin asked like he didn't know the reason (like he didn't watch the whole scene). Basically, he did it to get her to talk. And it worked.

"I got mad at a couple of... girls." Hunter breathed to calm a little. "And I snapped at her, broke her heart badly. Well... I'm a hothead. Most of the time, I react without thinking and always regret things I did afterward. And I messed up this time too."

Colin was listening intently, trying to make sense of her every move. Hunter was a bit complicated woman.

"I guess... I wanted her to be tough like me at some point. I wanted her to be strong, confident, and even shady. That's why I'm outraged to see her beaten up by a bunch of Britney Spears wannabes."

Colin nodded to show that he understood her.

"I was very different from my sister in high school. Some said I was a bully too… but that's not the point."

No, that's the point. She thought. She was totally screwed up on this.

"I just... You know... I just wanted her to be strong. That's all."

She wanted to smile a little, but the lump in her throat didn't let her. Cause... Even if she's here for Lilly, her bad high school memories and triggered things were suffocating her again. And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape. It was just too much for her, and just in seconds, tears gathered in her eyes and blurred her sight.

"Can I..."

When she held up her arms a little, Colin understood the assignment, quickly pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. It was her relief moment cause the hug was precisely the same hug she had dreamed of.

So close, tight, warm, and full of intimacy...

"It's okay..." He whispered in her left ear with a low, reassuring voice. "It's okay to break your character sometimes."

Hunter felt safe when he patted her softly on the back.

"You've been trying to stay strong for a long time, right?"

As Hunter nodded, her tears fell on Colin's shoulder silently. She couldn't even remember the last time she had cried. It was a long ass time ago.

"Shhh... It's okay. I understand what you feel."

She couldn't help but let out a sigh. His low voice was just... so calming and soothing.

Ah... What has this man done to me? She thought.

How could he make me feel so good? With just a hug...

Hunter concluded that hugging was better than any migraine medicine.

"It felt so good."

She then responded to his hug with a pat on his back and gently whispered into his ear:

“Thank you.”

MOYONG X READER♡

Being in the black rabbit clan is a vast and positive decision to protect innocent valleys and people across the Chinese globe for you. hongshin is the type to bake for people that she helped out in in ilyang, so it went from recipes to baking for jaha to see what kind of dessert that crazy bastard likes dispite of him having dead men be his sweet treat. it was the medical office.

Beak , stirring a healing soup releasing and foundating the scent of the office, it was the funniest and the most weirdest life change ever when she met the master of the Black rabbit clan.

she was a beauty, taking care of fighter inns and also being known to being skilled in the aspect of martial arts. but all of that change in an instant after her system had been corrupted by a aphrodisiac, she saw the door of the office open.

It was Y/N with a pan of chocolate stuffed cookies and muffins to pay respect to the office that helps the fighters and even the master itself.

moyong pressed some bandages on a soldier of black rabbit and handed him some herbal tea to calm himself and the blood oozing from his wounds to heal.

"Now that's done, I'm going to check the main desk."

beak took a cookie from the pan, oozing with the chocolate from the bottom.

"how have you been?"

"I just been good♡ had to get hongshin to teach me how to bake, taking care of missions and errands and a lot of stuff."

"Moyong got done handling a patient, so he should be here soon-"

his soft, manly voice shook the window of conversation. He was actually happy to see Y/N not because of the treats but because of their relationship with each other.

"I haven't seen you in a while♡ how are you, moyong?"

the sweet scent embedded into the room.

"master jaha wanted to repay you for all the hard work you done, or I originally had to make my partner in battle, hongshin teach me how to bake and make handmade cookies. seems like she wouldn't be the type to do that since she's a kelpto-manic♡"

His sweet laughter and smile had your stomach flushed with butterflies.

"Thank you, Y/N, I really appreciate it."

a wink of a cryptic saying in an emotion gesture, "Make your move girl♡" it was onto the beak. This situation sucks because nobody in the black rabbit clan knew about romance in a knowledgeable way, and it had a disadvantage to speak to anybody. a tsundere spikes from you.

"S-shit."

"Is something wrong?"

His worried face made you awe in adorableness.

"N-no..I'm ok, thanks for worrying."

he grabbed your palm in such a calm manner. A calm touch like a soft kitten rubs your hand and takes you into his office. it smelt like mint and lavender in it.

"hm? It smells good in here-"

"Ehm..Y/N. I have been meaning to ask you something that I shamelessly hidden for the longest time.."

He looked pink and halfway consumed in the cycle of love.

"I can't seem to speak, so I'm going to express this in a specific way that I can.."

"Moyong hu-"

his hands went to your waist, and his soft, cold hand saved multiple soldiers, and fighters were on your warm cheek. The warm sensation signify blush.

"moyong??"

a kiss shut you up in an instant. It lasted for seconds, the poison demon. Right here. so innocent and so internally and spiritually dangerous, he removed himself from your quivering lips.

"That's how I can express what I'm feeling, I couldn't say it in words, but I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

"No..no...your ok, and plus I kind of enjoyed it coming from you."

"Are we official, or I'm ok with it if you need more time?"

your mouth tastes like chocolate and curry to him, probably something you ate, but even that. he did enjoy kissing you despite the taste.

"No no..I'm good. I can be with you right now."

"heh♡ ok, I'm happy, and it makes me smile that I have someone like you. this is a compliment but. you're so sweet and beautiful to me.."

he walked out of the office, but right as he did, it was a chuckle of not trickery or mischief, but it was laughter at how happy he was being in a legitimate relationship with you.

a screech of happy send an electrified explosion to your body. But beak came in. looking smug.

"SoOOo. what happened in here?"

"N-NOTHING!"

as soon as your tsudere attitude poured out of your aura.

"Oh, and I planned us a date in a new restaurant that opened in ilyang, i will be expecting you tomorrow night, it's ok if you don't want to, I have many options planned all for you♡"

"A-ah...YEAH♡"

he left once for all,

"Ha, this is your first boyfriend right?"

"YEAH. EEEEE♡"

(MY WRITING ERA IS HERE AAAAAAA)

"High blood pressure is our body’s response to the environment and the structural stresses we navigate daily. The body reflects the constant accumulation of stressors and their impact as they become integrated into our daily lives. It is sad to think that we may not even be familiar with how our bodies feel without stress. High blood pressure can also be the body’s response to going against the grain, swimming against the current, and not going with the flow. If we are continually directing everything that goes on around us, we cannot flow. Being a perfectionist reflects on heart health. Trust in your heart, and let it lead you to where you are supposed to be. In cases of high blood pressure, I remind my clients to center rest. Rest is radical in a world that rewards productivity. Often we are overreaching, overachieving, and overcomplicating our lives instead of just being. In my practice I have seen many people with issues connected to the heart have jobs in leadership or activism roles that lead to the heart’s overextension. To heal, the heart takes conscious work to develop new patterns that instill rest, sitting still, and finding and connecting to pleasure instead of constantly pressing forward. I remind my clients of this simple notion, the notion of being. [...]

Stress-Free Tea

This tea recipe is a preventative to stressors, and it is a great tea to relax the nerves and calm the heart when needed. It can be taken at bedtime, although the herbs do not have strong sleepinducing properties. I drink this tea throughout the day while working on stressful deadlines or needing to center myself when dealing with a heavy workload. It is a beneficial formula when healing high blood pressure. Yield: 4 cups (940 ml)

2 tablespoons (4 g) dried linden flowers

1 tablespoon (2 g) dried rose

1 tablespoon (2 g) dried hawthorn leaves and flowers

1 tablespoon (3 g) dried chamomile flowers

1 tablespoon (3 g) dried rosemary Honey (optional)

Place all the ingredients in a 1-quart (1L) wide-mouth mason jar. Pour boiling water over the herbs and fill the jar. Let the herbs infuse for at least 25 minutes, then strain off the plant material. Retain the tea, and discard the plants, or add it to a bath or footbath. If you desire, sweeten your tea with honey and enjoy it throughout your day. When stored in the fridge, herbal tea can last for 2 days.

Contraindications: Work with a doctor to use hawthorn if you are on heart medication, have ulcers, or have colitis. Do not use sprayed roses, or hybrid roses without scent or soul. Avoid long-term use of linden flowers, or if the user is allergic to it's pollen. If using rosemary honey, during pregnancy, avoid in large doses. Chamomile has no contraindications. However it does not support the first trimester of pregnancy. Be careful if taking antianxiety or other calming medications. More than 2 cups (475 ml) of the infusion can act as an emetic (make you throw up)."

Glow Naturally: The Benefits of DIY Facial Toner Recipes

In the realm of skincare, facial toners have long been celebrated for their ability to balance the skin's pH, tighten pores, and enhance overall complexion. The allure of DIY facial toners lies not only in their natural ingredients but also in the numerous benefits they offer. In this article, we explore the advantages of creating your own facial toner recipes at home, revealing how these homemade concoctions can revolutionize your skincare routine.

Personalized Formulas: One of facial toner diy advantages of DIY facial toners is the ability to personalize the formula according to your skin's specific needs. Whether you have oily, dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin, you can tailor the ingredients to address your unique concerns. From soothing chamomile for sensitive skin to astringent witch hazel for oily skin, the possibilities are endless.

Natural and Chemical-Free: DIY facial toners are free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and preservatives commonly found in commercial products. By using natural ingredients like rose water, green tea, and apple cider vinegar, you avoid exposing your skin to potentially harmful substances. This natural approach promotes healthier skin and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.

Cost-Effectiveness: Creating your own facial toner at home is remarkably cost-effective. Most DIY toner ingredients are readily available in your kitchen or at local stores, and they can be used in multiple skincare recipes. By making your toner, you not only save money but also reduce wasteful packaging associated with store-bought products.

Freshness and Potency: DIY facial toners are prepared in small batches, ensuring freshness and potency of the ingredients. Freshly brewed herbal infusions and freshly squeezed fruit juices retain their maximum nutritional value, providing your skin with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. The potency of these natural ingredients can positively impact your skin's health and appearance.

Hydration and Nourishment: Many DIY toner ingredients, such as aloe vera gel and floral waters, are hydrating and nourishing for the skin. They replenish moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and revitalized. Regular use of DIY toners can improve skin texture and enhance the skin's natural radiance.

Eco-Friendly Approach: Embracing DIY facial toners aligns with eco-friendly practices. By utilizing natural ingredients and reusable containers, you contribute to reducing environmental waste associated with single-use skincare products. This sustainable approach promotes a healthier planet while taking care of your skin.

Therapeutic Aromatherapy: DIY facial toners often incorporate essential oils, adding a therapeutic dimension to your skincare routine. Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and tea tree not only provide a pleasant aroma but also offer various skincare benefits, such as calming sensitive skin or combating acne. Aromatherapy enhances your overall skincare experience, promoting relaxation and stress relief.

Creating your own facial toner is a delightful and empowering journey into the world of natural skincare. With the right ingredients and a bit of creativity, you can craft toners that not only cater to your skin's needs but also promote a holistic sense of well-being. Embrace the freshness, purity, and effectiveness of DIY facial toners, and let your skin revel in the nourishing embrace of nature.

"Tell your sib what is upsetting you", Mingzhu said while pouring him some herbal tea. "Also give it a taste, this is a new recipe."

Junjie wiped his nose, then sipped a bit of the infusion.

"It's... really fresh."

"I know, right? I've tried cardamom in my mix, it'll give you a hit, like caffein but like, less addictive."

Mingzhu sat on a chair, and treated themself with a homebaked cookie.

"So, tell me, I'm all ears."

"Rawel proposed", he let with a sob. "And... I just... I just can't. I feel like I've thrown away my life, jiějie."

"You haven't. Dear, younglings are so dramatic these days!"

"I am just three years younger than you!"

"You're still my baby brother", they humoured him.

Mingzhu drank quite a bit of their own beverage, then spoke with a soft voice:

"While I agree he knew you have some... engagment issues, and that it really isn't the good time for you to think about getting married, Rawel is a good chap. And you love him. And he loves you. What did you do?"

"I... I ran away and ghosted him."

"Give me your phone."

"Whaaaaa-"

They waited for Junjie to hand out his phone, which he did eventually. They unlocked it, and texted a laconic "Here's Junjie's older sibling, Mingzhu. We've met before. Junjie won't be here for the next days, probably weeks or even months, he needs to deal with his own life. Here's my number to keep you updated on his state...".

"Read it, then send it."

Junjie sent it immediately.

"Now that he knows you aren't well, he will probs understand and connect the dots."

"Or he'll leave me because I am a horrible person."

"Kid, say that again about my brother and you won't have any more of my biscuits", they smiled.

"You're no fun."

"I am your elder, this ain't my job."

He sighed.

"I... want to go back in time. When it was easy. Rawel is a good man, but he is... too sweet. Too... too kind! I feel so overwhelmed, and then I am bored because this isn't as exciting as I am used to. And I feel guilty, I feel like I don't deserve it. I don't know, jiějie, I really don't know. He is so soft and caring and... I am just dirty and stupid, I suppose."

He blew his nose in another tissue, before getting another sipping from his brew.

"I don't understand how he works and I play mindgames all the time, trying to push his buttons to guess how he functions. But he just... He just... sighs, takes a walk and comes back never a tad bit angry at me! He sits me and then we talk and talk and talk and he makes me feel so vulnerable and I can't even tell him how miserable this makes me feel because he will hurt me if he knows!"

"I am sorry to break your illusions, Junjie, but he knows you are vulnerable. But - and this may shock you - that doesn't mean he will abuse you", they said. "You had... quite your share of unhealthy relationships, and I know how this is and- Oh wait, I have a text from your boyfriend."

Rawel sent her a long message they found quite endearing, telling them in substance "I am so worried, but if he is with you it puts my mind at ease. Thanks for being here and taking care of him, and you are very nice to keep me updated."

"What a sweetheart", they noted.

"He is. He has been bringing me flowers every week since he knows I love plants, since I am living with him, you know. Since he saw I flinched every time he put on some music at home, he has been putting on music I like and take my hand to dance in the living room, to get me used to enjoy music again. And..."

Junjie couldn't help but weep like a child. Gross, ugly cries, the lost hopes and dreams over the years choking him now he had the chance to realise them all. Mingzhu took his hand, looking at their brother with compassion.

"I love him so much, jiějie."

"I know."

"When we are having sex, he always asks me if it's okay, if I'm feeling good, he stops if I ask him to... We don't argue loudly even when I am the worst human being on Earth. He just takes the time to calm down and he talks, gently, kindly, he never throws things at me, nor hits me, never never never! His touch is always so gentle... I feel so nasty all the time, jiějie, I am feeling so guilty to... I don't know, corrupt him..."

"I know, Junjie, I know."

"He makes me feel safe. And loved. And worthy of love. I am not, I-I am scared he would discover it and... and..."

They gave him another tissue.

"Listen", they sighed, "stay here until you're ready. Once we're done with our tea, we're going to look for a good therapist for you. We both know you need it, and this is the best moment to start working on your issues in my opinion. We don't have to schedule an appointment today, we'll do it when you'll feel ready, sounds good?"

Junjie ate a second cookie, and whispered "yes" so softly you couldn't hear it without paying attention.

"Want a hug?" they offered.

He jumped between their arms, weeping. He was safe. He was at home. Mingzhu and him had always been in the corner of each other, for best and worst. They wrapped their arms tightly around his body, to make him feel protected, and murmured him some words of reassurance.

"We'll make it, you'll make it, Junjie."

It felt like a rainbow after the most violent thunderstorm.
