Tumblr media
It had been two weeks since New Years. You still couldn't believe what had happened, that you had your New Years kiss with him. You play over and over again how intense it was. The feeling of his lips, nose, hands and body imprinted on your brain. His taste, his smell, those eyes...
You tried not to become obsessive over it but it was hard when you had never experience a kiss like that before. Something so simple but now your expectations had risen tenfold.
The kicker was that you had even made it onto celebrity news briefly, solidifying that it really happened. Turns out there were some people in the crowd that had taken pictures and videos of you and Pedro but to your luck you were unidentifiable and didn't have to deal with any online harassment.
Not wanting to upset yourself you didn't read the comments and gossip articles, knowing the internet can be cruel. Though Syria did take it on for herself to read some and show you the nice ones. For the most part people were just curious about who you were, if you and Pedro had any history and a lot speculation about your age.
Despite being in your later 20's, there was some people bashing Pedro for getting with someone much younger than him. It annoyed you a little. There may have been a 20 or so year age gap, you were both adults having a harmless fun pash. Hopefully this wouldn't put a stain on his career.
"These girls acting like they wouldn't be over the moon if they were in your positions." Syria reassures you. "I literally seen a 14 years old thirsting over him. 14. Years. Old!"
You chuckle at her frustration. "Who cares, they'll forget about the whole thing in a couple days."
"He's still in Australia, by the way...." she sing songs.
"Have you been stalking him?"
"Someone's got to." she shrugs and you give her a playful shove on the shoulder. "There's always a chance you could bump into him again."
Rolling your eyes, you get back to your show on the TV and Syria continues scrolling through her phone.
Tumblr media
The weekend had rolled around and your friendship group has a night out planned. You all meet up in the CBD and make your way together to a hidden rooftop bar that you all frequent. It's popular enough that there's a good amount of people but low key enough that you're not packed like sardines.
it's edging close to 9pm and the sun is setting over the horizon. Lingering heat from the summer sun is simmering in the air and you thank yourself for choosing to wear a simple, short, halter neck dress and a pair of heel boots while dancing along with the live DJ.
Double parked with glasses of your favourite alcohol, taking sips of each as they spill a bit while you move along with the music and getting buzzed. You're giggling and smiling ear to ear with Syria and Nicola as the dawning sky turns to night.
"Shots, we need shots!" shouts Syria running over to the bar followed by Nicola. You follow suit chugging the last of your two drinks so you can join in with the shots.
You place your empty glasses on the bar and watch as the bar tender pours into the shot glasses for your group. You focus on the bottle and see the bold 'Vodka' text written on the bottle's label and begin contemplating whether you are willing for the night to turn wild or not. Though Nicola doesn't give you a choice and shoves the glass into your hand.
'Cin cin' is chanted out in your group and you all simultaneously throw your heads back, swallowing it whole. Another glass is shoved into your hand.
"Cin cin!"
Another gulp and you feel your throat burning followed by the warming sensation travelling down your chest.
"God that's awful" coughs out Nicola, her face screwed up and disgusted from the vodka.
"Gets the job done quicker and cheaper." Syria calls out.
As everyone hangs around chatting loudly over the music, you feel a soft brush rubs along your back and something familiar invades your senses. A scent. That sweet musky scent. Where have you smelt that before? You try to focus on the familiarity but the Vodka is working its way to your brain quicker than you can comprehend.
Before you can look around your hand is snatched by Syria, Nicola and a few other girls as they lead you back on to the dance floor. The more you move the more you feel the mixed alcohol taking effect over your body. The girls are all dancing close together, hanging off each other and sharing affectionate hugs and kisses on the cheek as you drunkenly announce your love for each other. You know your group is gathering some attention, like second nature you can feel eyes burning into you no matter what state of mind you are in. Feeling a little on edge.
Some guys close in on your friends just as you feel a pair of hands slither their way onto your waist. It feels icky and you can feel your body stiffening.
You spin around to see some guy with blonde hair around your age giving you a sloppy smirk. Through blurry vision you see his blue eyes but his iris's are blown out. Without much warning he goes down to kiss you, taking you by surprise as your eyes stay open in shock. His grip hardens on your waist and forces his tongue into your mouth, pressing his face into yours and that's when you can taste it. Whatever drug he had can consumed chars your mouth and the vile taste makes you want to vomit.
Placing your hands on his shoulders, you firmly push him off you releasing the kiss he looks at you dumbfounded.
"What the fuck man?" you almost spit out the words as the taste lingers and you wipe his saliva from your mouth. "You taste like shit!"
"Its just coke you bitch." his words are slurred.
All you can do is give him your most confused and disgusted face till he turns around and walks off with his mate towards to the toilet, probably off to have another bump. You check on your friends and they seem to be more successful with their hook ups.
Eager to be rid of the bitter taste you get to the bar and order a water and chug it but is useless. You order another drink along with another shot of vodka instead in hope the alcohol can burn the taste away. Another body joins next to you as you wait for your drink to be made. You peer in your peripheral vision to make sure its not the same guy but you see brunette hair and internally sigh in relief.
He orders a drink as well, waiting beside you.
"Hey there." The guy next to you says in an American accent.
You turn your attention to him, everything a blur you only just make out a nice side smile accompanied by a dimple on his right cheek. His energy was different right off the bat, much calmer and nicer, but you couldn't be bothered with a potential repeat like before.
Your drinks is placed in front of you, tapping your card to pay, sculling the shot and lever yourself off the bar. "Sorry not interested."
Drink in hand, you head towards an empty booth to catch a breather. As you pass the guy, your nose is again engulfed by that smell. He must've been the one who passed you earlier. Not thinking much of it other than just a guy with nice cologne you plop yourself down on the seat to people watch. Well the best you could in your state and in dim lighting.
Sipping your drink and looking around, but like a sniffer dog following a scent hot on its trail, your eyes fall back on the intoxicatingly good smelling guy. He moved his way on to a table, sitting on a stool talking to his friend across him. His blurry silhouette starts to become more detailed the more you stare at him.
The messy brown hair, the glasses, puppy eyes, hooked nose, pouty lip... firm arms...
(Highly recommend listening to Glue - BICEP for the next part, for the vibe and bonus points if you listen to the Nelly Furtado remix *chefs kiss*)
The brunette peers your way mid conversation and you lock eyes. You're not sure if its the weighty bass of the song the DJ is playing that makes your heart beat heavy, the sweat from the hot summer air causing goosebumps to form along your skin or the buzz of alcohol but you feel a lightheaded-ness consume you as realisation sets in.
And judging by his face, a subtle eyebrow raise and a cheeky smile he's trying to hold back, he knows you realised too.
You scull the rest of your drink for that last bit of liquid courage, jump out of your chair and bee line to Pedro, his eyes never leaving you.
"Actually I'm very interested. Wanna dance?" you blurt out and shove your hand out for him to grab, slightly embarrassed that was the first thing you could think of saying to him and his friend giggles near by. But that embarrassment quickly subsides as he smiles wide, making his eye crinkle slightly.
"I'd love to dance." He excuses himself to his friend and they nod back. Placing his hand, entwining your fingers together it sends an electrical jolt through you that makes you inhale deep.
You lead the way to the dance floor gently pushing your way through people to get to the middle. You swivel on your heel to face him and a sense of DeJa'Vu overwhelms you. The loud bass-y music pounding around you, the crowded space, eyes locked and your crazy beating heart, you're almost frozen on the spot because you can't believe this is happening again. Like as if you've dreamed up this fantasy to relive the euphoric feeling that was New Years Eve.
Pedro starts dancing to encourage you out of your frozen state. He starts bouncing and flailing his hands around making you giggle and you start to dance more rhythmically. He looked goofy but you really appreciated his self-confidence to not care how he was dancing.
Dance lights are flashing rapidly making it look like everything is in slow motion and as your moving around you can really feel all the alcohol you had consumed, warming you up and giving you a new sense of confidence and cheekiness. Pedro starts moving more rhythmically and grabs your hands, bringing them to his mouth and kisses them.
Letting the music take over you both, like magnets, you're pulled together connecting bodies once again intensifying the vibe and the yearning at your core. His hands pull yours around his back so you're hugging him and his placed his arms around your neck. As he leans in for the kiss, you take the opportunity to be playful.
Turning around but not losing the space between you two, you lean your back on him. You keep dancing but purposefully rub your ass against him and his hands are quick to slide down your arms onto your waist firmly flushing his body to yours as you feel something growing against your backside.
Pedro dips his head into the crook of your neck, planting kisses along it making you rest your head on him, staring at the starry sky. He moans your name into your ear and lowers his left hand to the hem of your dress, circling your upper thigh, building a pulse down below and making you hum excitedly.
The fact he remembered not just your face but your name as well made you want you to kiss him so bad but you were having to much fun playing with him and instead pressed harder against him.
"Mierda.." he breathes out and nips at the skin of your neck, sliding his righthand from your hip to your breast and groping a hand full. "Putting on a show for your friends are we?"
Your eyes snap forward not realising how into it you were to see Syria and Nicola and a few other friends a little ways ahead of you. Most look confused but Syria is excitedly throwing a double thumbs at you with a cheesiest smile her cheeks can handle and mouthing 'get in' to you.
You burst out laughing, maybe a little too hard, struggling to keep control of yourself and nearly toppling over. Maybe you shouldn't have had that last drink.
"Why don't we take a break, get some air. I think that alcohol is catching up to you." He hooks an arm around you for balance and leads you away from the dance floor back to the high table.
He places himself on the stool and gestures you to stand between his legs and you follow. Head heavy and dizzy you slump your forehead in his neck and nuzzle in, inhaling a deep breathe of his scent. You are met with a warm embrace as he wraps his arms around you and you feel like you could fall asleep right then and there.
"I didn't think I'd see you again."
You slowly raise your head up to look at him through heavy lids. "Me either... Honestly I didn't believe it happened untill seeing myself plastered on the internet."
"I hope you didn't read what they had to say." he looks at you a little worried, brows pinching together and enhancing his puppy eyes.
"Nah, I just tried to ignore it."
"Good girl."
Such simple words but they sounded like music to your ears. Music that reverberated in your body making you feel like your body belong to him and couldn't go a second longer away from his touch.
Closing in your face to his, you ghost your lips over his, so close his moustache tickled you lip. He moves a hand to your jaw line and strokes your cheek, you're not sure why he's holding back now, especially after essentially dry fucking on the dance floor.
"I just need to make sure before I completely give in to you... how old are you."
You snort. "You ask me that after feeling me up?"
"I know... My publicist was concerned when those pictures got out and she reminded me the legal drinking age is 18 here. Even 21 is too young for me."
He's looking at your lips and you can see he's struggling to hold back. You know he knows you're old enough for this to not be weird but you give him peace of mind.
"I can assure you I am older than that. Nothing questionable going on here." You reassure him with a smile and within a second his lips are planted on yours, his hand gliding its way to the nape of your neck to pull you in.
As soon as it begins, your kiss ends, being interrupted by a gyrating voice you've heard before. "Hey man, sorry to jump in but are you Pedro Pascal?"
You both turn to face the male. Its the coke guy from before. He squints at you still cut from your previous interaction and you just roll your eyes.
"Yes I am." He gives the guy a courteous smile but keeps a firm hold on your hip bringing you in close hoping the guy takes the hint that he is preoccupied right now.
"Sick I thought so, my girlfriend is massive fan and I have her on facetime right now, can you say hi to her? Her names Jenna." He stammers, chewing aggressively on a piece of gum.
That asshole.
Pedro politely grabs the phone screen being shoved in his face and talks to the girl on the other side. You look at the guy straight in the eyes and notice a glistening sheen form on his forehead not sure if its from the drugs or he's shitting himself. He's eyeing you back begging you not to do anything but if you where her, you would want to know if your boyfriend was a cheating dog.
"Hey Jenna..." you say into the phone and his mouth drops and he goes pales. "As a girls girl, you deserve to know that your boyfriend is a cheating coke head."
You hear a shocked gasp come from the screen and funnily enough Pedro turns the phone to face you, amusement in his face.
"Yeah, he forced a kiss on me earlier-" You feel Pedro's fist clench on your hip, "-and then called me a bitch when I pushed him away."
The poor girl looks devastated and begins apologising profusely.
He turns the phone back on to himself. "Don't apologies darling, dump his a-" Before he can finish the phone is snatched from his hand, the guy frantically hangs up the call and looks at the both of you pissed off.
"Who do you think you are? And you're just some slut hooking up with this old man."
Pedro's body shifts beside you and before it escalates you place your hand on his should holding him down on the stool before turning your attention back to the asshole looking at him dead in the eye.
"Fuck off mate." you spit it out, doing your best to get him to back down. After a few seconds he finally backs seeing you hold your stance and Pedro's angry face, brows pulled together and tight lipped.
As he storms off, you notice some people around you had notice the commotion and were staring. Some were already taking pictures and videos because of who was involved.
You felt guilty that you had drawn attention around Pedro when he was flying under the radar and enjoying the night. You look at him and he realises that his night out has ended as it was likely people would start crowding around him.
His friend shuffles over to him and they start exchanging words.
'...probably go'
'right...'
'...do you need'
'be fine...'
'...stay'
He manoeuvres you so he can get off the seat, you expect this to be good bye.
He dips his head to your ear. "I have to go before I get horded. I'm not expecting anything from you but would you like to come back to my hotel with me and we can get to know each other without the distractions?"
No matter the situation, he was still polite as ever.
You nod your head a little too vigorously and it makes him chuckle, giving you his hand to take. All eyes on you two, you make your way to the elevator with your head down and Pedro using his body the best he can to shield you from onlookers.
Once the elevator doors closes, he lets out a big sigh. Leaning against the metal wall he pulls you in to rest against his chest and you do so diligently. Using his nose, he nudges your head to move aside and give him better access to your neck to peck at, arms hugging you securely making sure you're not going anywhere and leaving him this time.

Buzzing Lights (Noco Ficlet)
“I can’t believe your dad kicked us out,” Heather stated.
It was just past sunset. The park had a faint smell of rain from earlier that day, the pavement was ever-so-slightly wet, and the lights above the baseball fields buzzed quietly. It was dark, dark enough that the sign listing the rules, one of them being the park is only open dawn to dusk, was unseen.
“Duncan literally stole his wallet. I don't know what more you want from him,” Noah responded blankly. “Would your parents not kick us out? Because if they wouldn’t that says a lot about your family.”
“Well, he could’ve just thrown Duncan out, but he had to take all of us out. I mean, I guess being slow runs in the family.”
“I’m actually a very fast runner,” Lindsay argued. “But my dad is a little slow.”
“See what I mean?”
Noah rolled his eyes. He couldn’t believe Owen managed to drag him to another party with his homeroom, one at Lindsay’s house no less. What he also couldn’t believe is the fact that Lindsay would actually invite Duncan to her house. Of course, after Duncan decided to go and start robbing the family, effectively getting all the kids kicked out. Now, they were walking around a local park aimlessly.
Duncan just shrugged at the conversation. “You gotta do what you gotta do.”
“Well hey, it’s a nice night!” Geoff smiled, optimistic as always. “I think me and Bridge are gonna go find a place to watch the stars.”
“Hey, not a bad idea,” Duncan grinned as the two blondes departed from the group to find somewhere to sit. “Courtney, would you-”
“Not in a million years, Duncan,” Courtney responded. “Especially not after you robbed Lindsay’s parents.”
“Worth a shot,” Duncan replied.
“Courtney, let’s go on the swings!” Gwen suggested, pointing at the swing set standing on its own separate from the playground.
“Sure,” Courtney smiled.
“Don’t you leave me here with these crazies,” Leshawna called, following them. After a moment, Trent followed them as well.
Heather, Lindsay, and Beth headed to the bleachers to paint their nails. Alejandro, Duncan, DJ, and Tyler headed for the field where they saw an abandoned soccer ball. Everyone slowly split up from the group, going off with their own friends, leaving Cody and Noah heading to the woods.
“You sure we should go in there?” Noah asked.
“I know my way,” Cody argued. “I’ve been here a million times.”
It wasn’t like Noah had anything better to do, anyway. Eva, Izzy, and Owen went climbing fences so he wouldn’t want to hang out with them. Going for a walk in the woods was tame and required little effort. Plus, Cody knew what he was doing.
Well, not really.
After about twenty minutes of walking and Cody ranting about anything and everything, they decided to turn back. It was even darker than it was earlier, and Noah could barely see Cody.
He heard a clunk. “Wait, where are we?” Cody voiced.
“Are you serious right now?” Noah responded. “I thought you knew where we were going.”
“I just hit my leg on something and I have no idea where we are. Sorry.”
Noah let out a sharp sigh. Great.
Lost in the woods with Cody of all people. Maybe Izzy or Eva would be able to find their way back being the crazy people they were, or Owen could find his way back with the promise of food, but Cody?
Then Noah felt another hand touch his.
“I just don’t wanna lose you,” Cody justified the action, lacing his fingers into Noah’s. “In the woods, that is.”
Noah felt his heartbeat speed up, but blamed it on the fact that he was lost in the woods at night. He wasn’t scared, but what else would it be?
And he tripped.
“Ow, Jesus,” he exclaimed, letting go of Cody’s hand.
“Woah, sorry.” Cody crouched. “Are you okay?”
“I just fell really hard.”
“Are you bleeding?”
Noah felt the area directly below the knee he fell on. “Yeah. A little.”
“Okay, um, we’ll get band-aids when we get back. We can wash your cut in the bathrooms.”
Noah nodded, but then remembered he couldn’t see Cody. “Uh, yeah.”
Cody took Noah’s hand again and began walking slowly, not wanting to fall again. Noah stuck his free arm out so he wouldn’t run into anything again.
“Man, this would be a lot easier if Izzy was here,” Cody stated.
Noah snorted. “Yeah. The girl has night vision.” His hand hit a bush. “I guess we have to turn here.”
“Wait. Stick your foot out to the right.”
Noah did so. “Okay?”
“So there’s two paths here. I think we need to go left.”
“I guess you know better than me. If you’re not right though, I’m going to be mad.”
“No no, I know where we are now.”
Noah sighed. For the rest of the walk they didn’t talk much. There wasn’t much more to say.
“Oh hey, we’re back,” Cody smiled. The buzzing lights were visible and shone light on the path. “We can make it to the bathrooms from here,” Cody grinned and let go of Noah’s hand.
Noah nodded, following him, but longing to hold Cody’s hand again.

Forever fall
A short story based around my OCs; Perry and Buck. I mentioned a while ago that I wanted to write how they met and give my readers a general idea of their relationship, and with Spooktacle coming up, I saw it a fitting time! Hope it isn't too boring - it's mostly just for me, lmao
Tumblr media
The ship grew closer and closer to its destination. The sun had begun to settle into the ocean, the cool waves tucking it into sleep as if it were a cozy blanket. The sweet scents of fall spilled over the traveling monsters as they finally arrived, moving from the floating boat to soft grass covered in crunchy leaves. Music echoed through the land, monsterlings wandering through the streets and celebrating the holiday.
Among the arrivals was a group of fire monsters, each chattering on about their plans during their vacation. They considered themselves too old to trick-or-treat, now in their later years of high school, and their minds were set firmly on the park - exactly where the grand Spooktacle party will be held in a few hours. It was tradition, set every year, and for every age and monster. Many say you haven't had a good Spooktacle until you've participated in at least one of these wild celebrations. For the friends, this is their first. Their parents agreed to let the younger ones lead their own night, and they would lead theirs.
They come from Amber Island, where travel is minimal. There wasn't much to offer on that part of the world, whether it was due to its small size or low population. Most fire monsters moved to Fire Oasis or Haven as they progressed further with the technology humans had brought to them all that time ago, but the island was still home for many. Now, with easier transportation, the fire monsters get to celebrate like there's no tomorrow!
"We should stop by the old castle at some point," one recommended. "That place is totally haunted!"
"Didn't that one woolabee die in there?" Another questioned.
"Rachel, they came into school the next week. Are you stupid?"
The newly named Rachel shook her glowing feathers, remembering the classroom the following morning. It was all anyone would talk about, and there were no doubts that the woolabee had been exaggerating their story. Right. They didn't die.
"Don't be mean to 'em Dawn," another voice rose up. "It was years ago. Besides, ain't you the one who almost cost us the whole trip tryn'a give yourself a piercing?"
Dawn, the Thrumble, crossed xeir arms. Her parents were stubborn, and if xey weren't allowed to go out and do something, it wasn't new for her to try and do a little D.I.Y-ing.
"Ok, Ms. never-does-wrong, lead the way."
"Happily," she snapped back. They flooded out into the island, making sure their costumes looked their best. Sadly, none could decide on a certain theme for the whole group, and they each went as their own thing.
Rachel went as a Fire Haven critter, her wings decorated to echo the creatures look and a simple headband with ears. Dawn went as an ice cream, inspired by Jam-boree's delectable looks and a waffle cone hat xey had made years prior. The last monster, a Barrb, dressed herself as a scarecrow. She decorated her neck foliage with straw and fall leaves, matching fall cuffs around her wrists, painted fake patches on her cheeks, and a straw hat. It was a simple but effective idea. In her opinion, at least.
They agreed to head to the park first and get a taste of the upcoming party. They still had around an hour or two until it properly began. Upbeat music, trees covered in lights, chattering monsters galore - it was like walking into a movie! It was a tad bit hard to think there could be more, but according to the many advertisements, Punkleton himself were to make an appearance with DJ Epic.
The group stuck around a table with a plentiful arrangement of snacks and drinks, unsure of how to squeeze their way into the crowd. It was overwhelming, completely different than what they had on their home island. There, everyone sort of knew everyone, and no one was left out due to the smaller population. There was just too much here.
"Well, it won't get any better til one of us goes in an' meets someone!"
"Perry, these monsters will tear us to bits!"
"Not if I tear 'em to bits first. If we're gonna be here a few days, we ought to make a few memorable faces."
Rachel and Dawn didn't have much to say in response, instead hoping Pereskia's meeting of new monsters would make the stay less awkward. She introduced herself to a few Plant Island residents, who seemed rather open to her and her friends' visitation.
Casual conversation carried on for an admittedly long time, only growing quiet as the two long-awaited faces take the stage. They began the show by greeting each island individually, having the monsters cheer as they were called. For once, the Amber Island monsters felt acknowledged. Dj Epic started the music back up, adding her own spin on it - pun intended. The crowd became rowdy, the ground below them felt as if it were shaking. The hidden power of music and singing coursed through every monster as they threw their hands up in a wave.
Pereskia stumbled back at the raising of hands, taking a sudden hit to the face. Her face paint smudged, her staw hat falling onto the ground and being trampled before she was able to get it back in her grasp. Pereskia looked around for the monster, only recognizing them by the paint smeared on their hand. It seemed to be a Flowah, who ignored any of her attempts to get their attention. Finally, she grabbed the collar of their shirt and dragged them aside.
"What do you want, woman?" The voice growled. His expression changed a bit quickly at the fierce look in Pereskia's eyes.
He was dressed as a stereotypical cowboy, even having fake plastic guns on a giant belt. He seemed like any other flowah, apart from two tusks poking from his bottom lips.
"Excuse me?" Perry hissed back, crossing her arms. "That is no way to speak to a lady, and especially one you've given a damn bruise to!"
"I- excuse me?"
"You ain't excused. What's ya name?"
"Uh- Buck," he answered hesitantly.
"Buck. You owe me something!"
"Owe - owe ya what?"
"Another hat."
She dropped her ruined costume piece onto the ground, which now was stained with mushed candies and dirt. The other monsters eyes flickered between the hat and the barrb before him.
"And until you do," she snatched the stetson from his head, putting it on her own, "I'm keepin' this."
He was a bit taken back, losing the tough act for a moment before nodding, visibly pissed off. He admired the bravery, at least. Pereskia left the scene, returning to her group of friends in a much more sour mood.
"Perry!" Rachel greeted, relieved to see her ok. "Where did you run off to? What's with the hat?"
"Took it from some jerk after he messed up mine. Not givin' it back til I get my own hat. Eye for an eye rule."
"That's petty, I love it!" Dawn chipped in, pushing the glowl aside. "You think you'll run into him again?"
"Nope. This is mine now, I suppose."
They went back to enjoying the party, eating mass amounts of candy, and encouraging Dawn to enter the costume contest. Xey ended up winning third place for her craftsmanship; something no one expected but welcomed! Xey got a gift card for the best bakery in town as a reward.
They did a bit of karaoke, a bit of dancing, the expected. Long after the streets were emptied of trick-or-treaters, the group of monsters were called to their hotel rooms where they would be staying for the night. They ran around in the halls a little, joking with one another before getting comfortable in their beds and drifting off into a deep slumber.
The following day began very late. Pereskia swapped out her costume for a cozy pink sweater, Dawn into a blue hoodie. Rachel's feathers kept her as warm as she needed.
They debated where to go first, knowing Plant Island had many places to offer. Due to their parents' rules, however, they were forced to stay in one area. A late breakfast or early lunch sounds good right about now - brunch! Perhaps they could find the bakery Dawn had gotten the gift card for? The glowl of the group took to the sky, leading the rest down the many twisted streets in search of their needed destination. They met a few more kind faces along the way, including an adorable young bowgart and his little sister. Rachel wondered where their parents were.
Unsurprisingly, the bakery was quite busy. They chose to sit at an outside table while the crowd thinned out, chatting on about last night's antics. They wondered if Amber Island would ever have a holiday of its own. There have been rumors of a new monster arriving on the island, though it has never been confirmed.
"I don't understand why we can't just have Gobbleygourd like the other fire islands do," Rachel pondered. "It wouldn't be too hard of a trip, would it?"
"You've got a point," Perry agreed, "But don'cha think that would be too much Feast-Ember? They already have two islands celebrating it. Wanna be original, don't we?"
"How about we make a new holiday? What's stopping us?"
"Monsters payin' a lick of attention. Besides, I'm sure - huh?"
Pereskia's vision blurred, the weight of something coming over her head and eyes stealing it. She lifted it off - a hat?
"Gotcha somethin'," a familiar voice spoke.
"Who.. ain't no way."
Dawn covered xeir mouth with a snort, Rachel's feathers puffing up as her friend was bothered.
"I expect you t' have somethin' of mine?"
"It's- I can- Buck? How did ya find me?"
"This is th' most popular spot for mornin' treats," the Flowah answered, pulling up a chair for himself and taking a seat. "Made a lucky guess, it seems."
The three shared a look, debating. Buck wore a casual red flannel, was around their age, and despite being somewhat intimidating, he didn't appear to have any ill intent. Dawn moved Rachel back into her seat, giving a small nod of approval. The council has decided.
"So.. ya got it?" He asked.
"I do," the barrb answered, pushing her new hat up a bit, "But you're gonna have to wait a lil longer. We planned on spendin' the whole day out. Guess you're stuck with me."
"Ah, guess I am."
The other two narrowed their eyes, looking to one another. They didn't agree on that. Did they?
"What's your name?" He finally asked.
"You're gonna have to wait til you get that too, sugar."
Oh. That makes sense.
"I'm Dawn," the Thrumble introduced herself. "This is Rachel."
"Buck Dixon," the Flowah said with a nod.
The glowl sunk into her seat, keeping a keen eye on Buck. Once the line began to fade, they finally got their hands on fresh baked goods for lunch. They were worth the wait, and Buck was able to get himself his own snack. Next stop: the park! Might as well help with the cleaning.
"Where ya from, big guy?" Perry asked.
"Fire Haven. My pals and I come 'round here for th' holidays sometimes, but they couldn't make the trip this year - just me and my parents. How 'bout you?"
"Amber Island, born an' raised. All of us were, really."
"That island's the small one, isn't it?"
"It is, it is. Th' monsters there are real nice, though. I'd say that makes up for it!"
"Other than Dawn," Rachel teased. The two bickered with one another, speeding the walk up.
The park had already been relatively cleared, multiple others having chipped in to restore it to its old beauty. They decided to enjoy the afternoon with a calming walk through the many trees, though the friends fell behind as Buck took lead with Pereskia.
"Oh, she definitely likes him," Dawn chuckled. "Barrbs always go for Flowahs."
"That's a stereotype," Rachel mummbled. "They've only known each other for less than a day! Our lives aren't a fairy tale, you know."
"Faerie Island."
"Shut up. I meant she doesn't know him as much as she knows us."
"Perry's always been a flirt. Let her have some fun!"
"I'm not having fun."
"What's up with those?" Pereskia asked Buck, pointing to the tusks poking from his mouth. They weren't a common trait among Flowahs - that's for sure.
"Not too sure, really," he shrugged. "I never met my birth parents - I was adopted by a Bisonorus couple. I like t' think I inherited them."
"Oh. that's neat!"
"Hehe, wanna see what they can do?"
"Slow down there, Buck."
"Pardon me."
Buck was more familiar with the island than the rest, partially giving a tour and partially giving commentary. He wasn't all too fond of the cold weather, something that most fire monsters could agree on, but he enjoyed the scenery quite a bit. He wished Fire Haven would keep the Feast-Ember decorations up longer. Something about the colors just felt homey - felt right. The colors were reminiscent of the flames that fire monsters once carried, of their late celestial. It was a shame how chilling the world got before the fall leaves came around. Perry couldn't agree more. She fell into every word being said, losing interest in their meaning and soon focusing more on his voice. It was raspy but soothing enough to lull someone to sleep.
They spent the afternoon wandering the nearby area, losing track of time and meeting other faces. The two friends were relieved when Pereskia called it a night, only to be told that Buck was staying at the same hotel. He walked them to their rooms, narrowly avoiding the eyes of their parents. Galvana knows what they would think of him!
"Here's ya hat back, Buckaroo," Perry joked, tossing the costume piece to him. Buck caught it, dropping it onto his head.
"Am I gonna get that name now, Dew Drop?" He asked, leaning against the doorframe and nearly falling.
"Hmm.. Pereskia Marigold Streams. Though, if tomorrow is as fun as tonight was, perhaps the last name can change."
Whoa. The Flowah took a moment to cool off and simply comprehend what he had just heard.
"So there's a tomorrow, eh?"
"I suppose there is."
"Close the door!" Dawn yelled, tossing a pillow at them. Pereskia chuckled, moving back.
"I'll see ya soon, Buck."
"See ya soon, Dew."
Mercifully, the three were left alone with one another. The glowl's hostility never settled, instead growing as time passed.
"Are you done?" Dawn growled.
"What's got your fins in a fit?"
"I'm tired!"
"You've only known him for a day! He never apologized for ruining your costume, either," Rachel added.
"I'd say he made up for it. How 'bout you guys trust me this time, hm?"
"I just don't want you to get into something serious so quickly.. You don't know him yet."
"That's what tomorrow is for, Feathers."
The barrb took a seat next to her friend, assuring her that she would be careful. She understood their concerns and took them to heart, agreeing to slow down. Still, she wanted to at least befriend the guy - he seems nice. They would allow that. Rachel rested her head on Perry's shoulder, giving a tired huff.
"I'll be fine, honey. I promise."
"You better be."
The following days remained the same. Meet with Buck, explore the island as far as their parents would allow it, learn about one another, and get into a bit of tasteful trouble. The adults eventually met Buck, and to Dawn and Rachel's surprise, they approved of him. His parents were, as told, a Bisonorus couple, and they seemed as if they expected him to find someone.
"It isn't new for our Buck to find a lovely lady," the emperor Bisonorus spoke to Myrtle, Pereskia's mother, "But it's rare for one to give him a chance."
They exchanged addresses, and around a week of eager waiting later, Pereskia received her first letter from him. Another week later, he received one from her. Each note carried a part of their lives, whether it was a Polaroid picture of their island life or a leaf fallen from a common tree that told the oncoming weather. They shared their dreams, their nightmares, their wishes, their falls. As Feast-Ember rolled around, they met up at the flowahs home island.
Dawn and Rachel chose to stay behind, and as the school year came to an end, so had their company. Perry never stopped them from moving on - she trusted them all the same. Dawn moved to Bone Island with xeir girlfriend. Rachel migrated to Fire Oasis to get away from her parents. Once Buck and Perry felt they were financially stable, they moved in together. With her father's blessing, Buck gained the privilege to call Pereskia his wife.
Every afternoon, if she were strolling alongside her husband, she was reminded of the last fall they spent together. She wondered if they blamed her for the groups falling out. They never talked about it, and to this day, she worried over what could have gone wrong. Even as they never speak, as they never see one another, their friendship hadn't ended. It simply paused, forever in the fall.

Graves Likes Soap
Chapter one on ao3!
Music
The Shadow base smelled like sweat and beef and Soap crinkled his nose when he didn’t think their host, Phillip Graves, was watching. Ghost was looking over some security information before they headed back to their own base which left Soap to kind of meander aimlessly as he attempted to avoid Graves. Soap wasn’t sure if it was a professional thing or, fucking Christ forbid, a crush, but Graves would not leave him alone. Ghost was being about as helpful as someone who found the whole thing funny could be. He didn’t leave Soap alone with Graves if he could help it (“It’s not that I don’t think you can’t take care of yourself, you’re just so small I worry if I turn my back long enough he’ll tuck you in his pocket and walk away.” “Fuck you”) but he sure had fun standing quietly next to Soap while Graves did his flirting or networking or whatever. 
“Oi,”
Soap turned around and hailed his Lt as Ghost strode up to him and they matched step on their way to the car park. “All done ‘ere, Johnny.” 
“Thank god, let’s get out of here.” 
“Why? You don’t want to–?” 
“MacTavish! There you are!” 
Soap shot a look at Ghost that screamed you did this before turning around with a fake smile to greet Phillip Graves. 
“Graves.” He greeted. 
“Well damn, son, I knew you were supposed to be here, I had planned to give you the tour.” 
 “Ach,” Soap said, “We were just leaving, sir.” 
“You sure you can’t stick around for a bit?” 
“No, we have orders to get back as soon as we finish up here.” Soap lied. They were free for the rest of the day, he had been planning to see if they could find a place to eat before they got back. 
“Ah well, next time don’t be a stranger, alright?” Graves reached out and clapped his arm, his hand lingering for just long enough that Soap had to shake him off, next to him he felt Ghost shift closer. “Oh, by the way, I took the liberty of setting aside a Jeep for your use while you’re here, the gas is on my dime, of course.” 
“That’s very generous of you,” Soap said. 
“Hey listen, Shadow can afford it, you boys enjoy,” He nodded to Soap, his eyes barely passing over Ghost before leaning in and whispering “By the way I, uh, left a little present in the Jeep for you, just something to make you feel a little more comfortable.” 
Soap was saved from having to say something by Ghost loudly saying “Come on, Johnny, you can make friends later.” 
Soap made a face that he hoped could be interpreted as apologetic and not relieved as he trotted after Ghost. 
The moment Soap thought it was safe he hissed “Do you think he shit in the jeep?” 
“I don’t know, I didn’t see him while I was shitting in the jeep.”
Soap yelped a startled laugh and punched Ghost on the arm. “Lord, I do not like that man.” Soap said, shaking his head. “Makes me feel slimy.” 
“Mmh,” Ghost grunted in agreement as they opened the doors to their Jeep. It appeared to be free of shit and Soap patted down his seat before climbing in. “Nothing weird on my side, you?” 
“Nah,” Ghost climbed into the driver’s side. “What are the odds the car explodes when I start it?” 
Soap tensed up dramatically when the engine turned over but nothing happened… at first. 
“They may take our lives!” A horrible Scottish accent suddenly yelled, causing the two men to jump, “But they can never take our freedom! Heh, just a little taste of my scottie, MacTavish.” 
There was a dawning horror as Soap realized Grave’s voice was coming out of the speaker of the Jeep. For a chilling moment Soap thought this might be a talking to them via a radio that couldn’t be disconnected, he’d be their permanent JARVIS for the duration of their stay. And then, somehow, it got worse.  
“Anyway, the radio stations here are all pretty shit so I figured I could be your own personal DJ, I was able to pack the 20 best songs onto this CD so enjoy!” 
The transition into Centerfold was drowned out by a violent swearing streak from Soap and the loudest laugh he had ever heard come out of Ghost’s mask. 
“FUCKING TURN IT OFF!” Soap yelled smacking at the console until the CD mercifully stopped. Soap threw the CD into the glove box like it was a spider with a gun and kicked it shut. 
“Bloody fucking hell.” He gasped. 
In the driver’s seat Ghost was still choking on laughter. 
“We can’t fucking stay here, man. He’s going to skin me or something.” Soap groaned and rubbed his eyes. 
“D’you think he’s gonna call Price?” Ghost asked through bursts of laughter, “Ask if he can take you out for milkshakes?” 
“Price better say no!” Soap yelled.
“I’m sure he will,” Ghost reassured, his voice still breathless with laughter, as he reached to fiddle with a pocket on his chest, “I don’t think Graves can pay your dowry.” 
“Sure, right,” Soap rubbed at the headache that was blooming behind his eyes, “I’m worth a few goats, aren’t I?” 
There was a moment of quiet and then, softly, Ghost said “If he bothers you let me know, alright?” 
Soap started to say he could take care of himself, he didn’t need Ghost to be his guard dog, then he sighed, felt himself relax a little and nodded. “Yeah, thank you.” 
“Good lad… now do you want to listen to some music?” 
“Ghost I swear to god–” 
He made an aborted reach for the CD Ghost pushed into the player and then stopped, a smile creeping across his face, as Take It Off by Kesha started playing. Soap sat back in his seat, his smile widening by the second. 
“I love this song.” He said, his voice giddy with surprise. 
“I know.” Ghost replied, handing him a jewel case that had a printed track list in the front. 
“I love all of these songs!” Soap laughed, “Where did you get this?” 
“Made it.” 
“What?” Soap fully turned in his seat, leaning across the gear shift to make sure he heard right, “I’m sorry what? ”
“I’ll throw it out the bloody window if you’re going to be a prick about it.” 
“Don’t you dare,” Soap caught his wrist mid reach, “Do this,” he said, redirecting it to the volume dial and using Ghost’s hand to turn it up. 
“Don’t make me regret this.” 
“Can’t hear you!” Soap yelled back, already bouncing in his seat and pointing at the speaker “Kesha!” 
Headache forgotten and slimy feeling under his skin dissipated Soap yelled along to girl pop the whole drive back.

Character Info below the cut
1. Mnyah: A "Goddess", for lack of a better term. Mnyah is big, tall, and very chill. She rarely speaks, but would go anywhere and do (just about) anything with you if it meant being in your wonderful company. If you decide to stay indoors and have brunch or take a walk somewhere private and secluded, Mnyah can tell you stories from her past adventures, and you can tell her your own stories. However, seeing this woman go white water rafting in a ball gown is also one hell of a sight, and she WILL be good at paddling.
2. Meldria: A honorable mercenary who fights more for the good for the world than for the money. Strong, tough, and loves to have fun. Meldria tries to act chivalrous, but if she thinks you're hot, it just turns into fancy-worded flirting. She loves to eat, drink, and will accept near any challenge offered to her. Staying indoors isn't much her thing unless its with a big group of friends.
3. Novox: The most powerful Dark Mage in Adrinirda. He is a member of the Council of Magic, acting as the head for Dark Magic. He is smart, calculated, and cares deeply for animals, his heritage as a Dark Mage, and his loved ones (including you!). Novox prefers staying inside, either reading or practicing magic, but he also loves to dance. With a little coaxing, you could get him to go out somewhere.
4. Na'an: A thief with no name, Na'an named herself after her favorite bread. She's excitable, laughs loud, loves going on adventures big and small, and is down for pretty much anything as long as its fun. She does suffer from anxiety, so she might do a 180 here and there and get cold feet, but if you're really into into the activity you two are doing, she'll feed off your energy and keep going.
5. Current: Jordancia's resident technophile, Current loves two things: technology and music. During the day he tinkers in his shop, and at night he's the head DJ at the Arcade Cabinet Club in Jordancia's Arcade Disctrict. If you're a night owl, Current will gladly put a robot in his place at the turntable to go hit the town with you. Hit the dancefloor, hit up bars, hit up the 24/7 shops and museums, or just hit the road on his hover-scooter and watch the city lights blaze by. Whatever you choose to do, the two of you will have painted the town red by dawn.
6. Loelle: Ranked the #1 pastry baker in Jordancia and a skilled Nature Mage, Loelle mixes her two passions to breathe new life into her cooking. Literally. Stay in and make some yummy cupcakes as the cookies dance along the countertop, or spend some time out in the gardens, smelling the flowers, picking fruits, or toiling in the vegetable garden. The compost bin might try to follow you guys though. Loelle likes to take it slow, and prefers to spend time with few friends rather than large groups.
7. Valorn: A Summer Fairy cast out of the Eternal Forest, Valorn's magical capabilities encompass all of the elements, and she has the skills to prove it. She may be struggling with her depression and have self-doubts because of it, but a nice day spent window shopping, visiting the park, or just wandering the streets in the warm sunlight is good enough for her. If its raining or you just don't want to go out, Valorn has a nice sunroom just for those days, where you two can sit on plush beanbag chairs and just hang out until the sun sets and you have to play games by the light of the fairy lights lining the room.
8. The Reckon King: A Dark Mage with great and terrible potential, The Reckon King suffers from a lot of insecuries and depression. He won't tell you the details though, unless you two are very, very close, and even then you'd have to wrestle it out of him. He loves the night, and you two can burn moonlight taking walks by the river, stargazing, going to the movies, playing games at the boardwalk, or attending a concert. If you ask nicely, he'll even show you a few of his favorite dark magic parlor tricks.

And right now I'm ready to present to you my fic, on which I spent about 3 days in total on only writing, although I actually spent much more time at all
I just really wanted to describe the first meeting (well, except for the fact that they would most likely saw each other in the events of 12-13 episodes of season 3…) Chris and MMK
(the funny thing is that the illustrations for this fic appeared even earlier than the fic itself - haha)
In general, anyone interested - please read ~(I tried, and plus I had to translate all this, so sorry for grammar mistakes)
It's about… 12k characters (with spaces) i guess?
Tumblr media
"Leave me alone, Pseudo-Cat!" The Joker was trying to unhook Hoshi, who decided that now was the time to start acting like the most clingy Pseudo-Cat. "Hachi, take it off me!"
Christopher, who was sitting nearby on the couch, looked at this situation comedy, sighed, and turned back to the TV. There was another summary from the Underworld News Network.
"This night with you again your permanent reporter, DJ Peacock!", was heard from the TV, the news anchor in his habitually bright image was glowing with enthusiasm. "And I'm broadcasting the latest news from the Underworld News Network! One of the paintings from The Paintings for the Temple was stolen from the Serpentine Gallery in London this night."
A report from the scene was shown on the screen, among other (quite controversial for Chris' taste) abstract paintings on the wall, one place was empty. The reporter appeared on the screen again.
“And a Mini Mini King was spotted at the scene!” Immediately, in confirmation of the words of the presenter, a recording from the camera appeared on the screen, where the phantom thief approached one of the paintings without any problems. A flash of light, and now he is already hiding the reduced picture in his pocket. "Without minimizations - this is an exciting and incredible happening!"
But Christopher did not listen to further news. He just stared thoughtfully at the screen, realizing that Sky Joker was just now flying over London, and come to think of it, they weren't that far from Hyde Park. Jumping up from the couch, at once turning off the TV, Chris quickly disappeared behind the doors of the room. The Joker and Hachi (with Hoshi in his arms) just looked at him in confusion.
Tumblr media
Mini Mini King walked along the park street with a satisfied look. He no longer worried about being followed, as he had gone far enough that the phantom thief could afford a quiet night's walk.
"Hey!"
Which was still interrupted.
Right in front of him, a guy in a tailcoat and mask jumped out, with such an unexpected appearance almost knocking the phantom thief off his feet. The guy barely had time to catch him by the hand and help him not to fall completely.
"Wow, I just showed up, and you're already fainting," he remarked and smiled slyly. Mini Mini King didn't come up with an answer. And as soon as he stood firmly on his feet again, the phantom thief moved away from the stranger, looking at him with obvious indignation.
In response, the guy smiled even wider and bowed manneredly.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?" he asked, despite the gap, he smiled quite charmingly.
In response, Mini Mini King assumed a fighting stance, holding his Shrink Ray gun at the ready. He looked in disbelief at the stranger, who seemed vaguely familiar to him. The guy immediately threw his hands up, he seemed to feel guilty.
"Sorry, didn't really mean to scare you," he apologized.
Then it dawned on Mini Mini King how he remembered this guy.
"Hey, you… You're one of the Joker's henchmen!"
It's not like it makes things any clearer. To be honest, it didn't clarify anything at all.
"Oh, you even remember me!" the stranger beamed with joy.
The phantom thief stared at him in confusion, surprised by his reaction.
"Um… Yeeeah? What's your…"
Tumblr media
"Oh, right, I didn't introduce myself then," obviously remember the guy.
He cleared his throat, made himself as presentable as possible, and bowed again.
"Before you is the March Hare - a phantom thief and your colleague," the guy squinted slyly, "Nice to meet you."
Mini Mini King nodded slowly, still looking wary.
"And what do you want from me?" he asked.
"Nothing like that …", the "Hare" thoughtfully stretched out, straightening up. "How about a night walk in the park?"
"What?" Such a trivial request puzzled the phantom thief and made him think that he had a hearing problem.
"Night walk in the park," repeated the guy, and held out his hand to Mini Mini King.
The phantom thief looked in bewilderment, then at the guy's hand, then at his face. The March Hare did not rush things and patiently waited for an answer. Mini Mini King thought this was very strange. This guy has tracked down and is now standing in front of him, and just for the sake of a night walk? With him? It was unexpected, and strangely flattering. But what if there was some trick?
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your picture," the guy suddenly declared, lowering his hand, apparently trying to calm the phantom thief.
Mini Mini King incredulously put his hand on the pocket in which the said painting was, as if checking its safety. In response to this gesture, the Hare only grinned.
"Did you hear what I said?" he squinted. "I don't need it, I'm here solely for you."
The guy made a complaisant face and winked at the phantom thief. He did not find an answer to such a statement. And Mini Mini King mentally came to the conclusion that this guy was strange, but kind of harmless.
"So", after a pause, and yet agreeing, "Fine?", to the guy's offer, he answered, while thinking that anyway the guy seems to not leave him until he gets what he wants.
"Excellent!", the March Hare was clearly delighted with this answer. And even allowed himself the liberty. "You won't regret this decision!" he declared, squeezing the thief's phantom in his arms.
Mini Mini King clearly didn't expect this and reflexively pushed the guy away from him with obvious displeasure. The Hare only up his hands guiltily in front of him.
"Right, I'm in too much of a hurry, my bad"
Tumblr media
After 10 minutes, the topic of the weather still exhausted itself, and the March Hare decided to change the subject.
"Listen, Mini Mini King, of course I said that the picture doesn't interest me…" The guy narrowed his eyes as he saw how quickly Mini Mini King's face changed from neutral to suspicious. "But I'm just wondering why this one?"
The phantom thief did not have time to answer, as the Hare continued.
"Like, have you always been into mini-minimalism?" and chuckled at his own pun as Mini Mini King changed from suspicious to outraged.
"I. Not. Small!", he immediately declared.
"It seemed to me that you decided to expand your horizons and not get hung up on your "small" problem", the guy smiled in response, which confused the thief's phantom, because he was telling the truth.
The Hare put his hands behind his head.
"Although it's okay, it's not so easy to get rid of the complexes, right?", he thoughtfully drawled, looking somewhere in front of him.
This surprisingly correct remark clearly told Mini Mini King that this guy was not so simple as it seemed. The phantom thief silently checked the Hare with his eyes, trying to understand what was on his mind.
"Oh, look!" the guy suddenly exclaimed, pointing somewhere further ahead. "Playground!"
And now the Mini Mini King is already bewilderedly watching the Hare, as he ran forward, to the hanging swing. With slow steps, the phantom thief followed him.
"Haven't been on a swing like this in ages!"
Tumblr media
"You're very strange," Mini Mini King remarked aloud as he approached.
The Hare stopped swaying and looked at the phantom thief in bewilderment.
"What?"
Mini Mini King folded his arms, "You literally jumped out at me in the middle of Hyde Park at night and asked me to hang out."
The guy did not have time to ask another question, as the phantom thief continued.
"And I don't understand why at all!"
The hare blinked absently.
"You don't like hanging out with me?"
"That's not the point!" Mini Mini King waved his hands, looking annoyed.
"So you like it?" concluded the guy and grinned again.
Mini Mini King sighed in annoyance, walked past the Hare and sat on a nearby swing.
"Doesn't matter," he snorted.
The guy's grin widened. He seemed to count it as another win in an argument or something. After swaying on the swing for another minute, the March Hare broke the silence with a thoughtful statement.
"And yet we are somewhat similar"
"Yeah, of course, why is that?" Mini Mini King asked indignantly, turning his head towards the guy.
The Hare paused thoughtfully before answering. He looked somewhere in front of him and looked surprisingly mysterious.
"Complexes," he spoke anyway. "Some specific fad that constantly haunts and at the same time constantly makes itself felt, no matter how hard you try to ignore it"
Now the guy looked sad. Mini Mini King looked at him with wide eyes. Now the Hare for some reason really looked like a man who understood him. True, one thing was not clear to the phantom thief.
"And what is your… fad?", he tried to express himself in much the same way as the guy before.
The March Hare finally turned to face Mini Mini King. And he smiled, pointing his finger at his face.
"A gap," he explained through gritted teeth. The smile seemed like a melancholy for phantom thief.
At the bewildered look from Mini Mini King's side, the guy shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment.
"Yeah, I know it must sound silly," and turned away again. "I myself constantly forget about it. But then it just… is remembered, and I feel embarrassed"
Mini Mini King looked at him silently. This truth was something familiar to the phantom thief. He looked at the guy with a shadow of regret, noticing that now he was not smiling as before — not a smile with confidence, but much more modestly.
"Apparently I was right, and you seem familiar with it too," said the March Hare, glancing sideways at Mini Mini King.
The phantom thief looked down awkwardly, but agreed anyway.
"Yeah", but still allowed himself a brazen remark, "although in your case there is an opportunity to correct your "fad""
"Are you talking about braces?" the guy asked with a frown. "It hurts, it's expensive," he explained, "and in general, who would agree to put braces on a thief?"
"That's also right…" Mini Mini King agreed in confusion. "Seems like…"
"Yeap, every second one tries to advise me this," as if having read his thoughts, Hare interrupted the phantom thief.
"A familiar importunity," Mini Mini King admitted involuntarily.
"That's why I said that we are alike," the guy narrowed his eyes rather, there was no trace of the previous irritation. "And that's why I wanted to hang out with you"
Now the situation looked much clearer for the Mini Mini King. They really looked alike. The March Hare watched the phantom thief's pensive expression as they listened to the silence of the park at night. They both needed a moment of peace and quiet.
Tumblr media
"You know what…" the guy drawled thoughtfully, breaking the moment of silence. "Mini Mini King - too long to say…"
The phantom thief stared blankly at the Hare. He continued.
"Would you like something…shorter," the guy chuckled at his casual pun, drawing a displeased look in his direction. "What about MMK? Can I call you that?"
Mini Mini King showed with his whole appearance that he didn't like this "minimization" of his pseudonym. Looking at him, the March Hare involuntarily laughed as the phantom thief continued to glare at him. Laughing, the guy lifted his mask to wipe away the tears of laughter. Putting the mask back in place, the guy said:
"I'm glad you agreed to walk with me, MMK."
Mini Mini King, even though he looked dissatisfied, admitted to himself that he also did not regret this decision. Although it cost him a few unfunny puns about him.
Finally getting up from the swing and stretching, the March Hare turned to the phantom thief.
"But fine, it's probably time to leave," he said, "don't want to keep you too long," the guy smiled guiltily.
"Yeah," Mini Mini King stood up after him, not knowing what to do… Shake hands? Just say "See you later" and leave?
The March Hare decided everything for him, finally once again squeezing the phantom thief in his arms.
"I hope we meet again, MMK!" he said and disappeared from sight.
Mini Mini King looked around in confusion, still not fully understanding what exactly had happened. Obeying a strange presentiment, he absentmindedly rummaged in his pockets. The reduced painting was in the same place. But something else was found.
The phantom thief looked with bewilderment at a piece of paper in his hands, on which a phone number was written in black and white in an untidy handwriting and:
"Call me maybe? Your Hare ♡"
Tumblr media
And a small tag here because @misaki-tsukamoto helped me mentally, for which I am very grateful to her ♡ ♡ ♡
