#YOU CAPTURE THAT DAWNING 'something's off' FEELING SOOOO WELL

🥹 I love seeing one of my favourite blogs talking about one of my favourite groups!!! You understand seventeen so well!!
What do you think was their least impressive musical era and on the flip side what do you think is their best so far?
ahhhh!!! thank you so much!!! i love seventeen so this brings me a lot of joy!! and i love talking about them.
i think their least impressive musical era was your choice and their most recent comeback. your choice was, compared to what seventeen can do musically, very lackluster and just ... sort of one very narrow soundscape? there wasn't much excitement or reinvention going on. anyone was clearly the stand out track and heaven's cloud has really grown on me, though. i see hot as their conscious break from the freshteen/seventeen-teen concept, so i cannot fault them for trying something like this. i just think it's executed poorly. in my opinion jihoon needs to rest and take a break to return fully charged to the drawing board. hybe is putting them into a tough position, i feel, with the introduction of a lot of american co-writers and their clear focus on the american market when seventeen is a group that flourishes in korea, especially with the gp.
their best eras so far have been: teen,age, an ode to heng:garae and semi;colon. i feel like teen,age was very important in their development as a group and it really captures that fresh seventeen sound, and you could already tell that this is a group that can do pretty much any genre. an ode to heng:garae is the definition of all killers no fillers. like, those two albums are so good and from HIT as a prerelease and fear as a title, this was such a good era. i personally love left & right as a choice to visualize heng:garae because that old-school hip hop styling was soooo cool. like, truly just beyond cool. seventeen is the only group that could offer an answer to the retro concept perfected by shinee with 1 of 1, and they did it with a completely different look and concept!!
semi;colon is in my opinion one of the most exciting kpop minis ever and the fact that jihoon basically wrote a whole musical number as the title track and still made it fit the requirements of a kpop song is ... absolutely insane. the big band/theatrical sound of the album is so exciting. i don't think any other group except maybe .... tvxq! could have managed that. in my opinion home;run as a title track really sets them apart from any other kpop group. no one else has ever attempted this or pulled it off quite as marvelously. and then, you have light a flame, all my love and hey buddy on that same mini ... seventeen are truly aces in every regard.
i personally love their our dawn era as well, but i think that served more as reinforcing what the public knew seventeen as back then. it's a very beautiful era and concept, though. and honorable mention to attacca because i love that album.

Tumblr media
Flavor: Cherry Vanilla
Your currently trying to get ready for bed with Shinsou, his purple hair cascading against the pillow as he’s scrolling through Insta
defintely looking at cat vids
Youre just BEAT from the day- work, school, practice, whatever your life entails it just felt so incredibly tiring today
Of course, Shinsou seems to have other plans
Once he sees you come out of the bathroom, your hair wet, your skin dewy from washing, your body only wearing one of his oversized shirts and some small shorts....
man is gonna wanna be allllll over you
“Damn, kitten who allowed you to look that hot,” he’d purr, his eyes drinking you in as he propped his body on his elbows to get a better look
You’d roll your eyes, a smile on your lips-
Lowkey a perv for his s/o fight me on this
Once you sit down on the bed, its over
Shinso’s hands are all over you, his palms trailing under your shirt as he leaved lazy kisses on your neck
“Cmon, baby, lets have a little fun before we sleep....”
Just tell him your tired, and he’ll comply, turning super fluffy and cuddly in a matter of minutes
Reluctantly tho this boi is horny when hes horny
“Ahh my kitten’s tired? Fine then, you need your rest.”
He’ll lean in to give a sweet kiss, unknowingly of how flavorful you taste now with your chapstick
And OHOHOHO after that its OVER
The taste of vanilla bursts in his mouth, the scent of cherry becoming more prominent-
When did you start tasting so good?
He honestly wont know how to react- he’ll shake his head and blink a few times, “The hell-?” spilling out of his lips
He grabs you buy the chin, his thumb swiping against your lips gently
Once he sees the faint red sheen on his digit, it kinda dawns on him whats going on
You catch on to his confusion, a small giggle spilling out of you as you tell him its just chapstick you bought since your lips felt dry
He’ll just give you a lazy smirk, his lilac eyes a royal purple as he eyes you
This man cant HELP HIMSELF
He’ll lean in for another kiss, this one lasting much longer and more passionate as he tried to capture that taste again
“Do me a favor and keep wearing that kitten,”

Flavor: Birthday Cake
Im so proud of fidning this picture im sorry it just matches so well
Anywaysssssssss
You had just gotten out of the locker room, your UA uniform a little wrinkled from being balled up while you were training
You walked out the metal doors, your lips feeling much softer than usual- you were in desperate need of chapstick after that particular lesson
Thanks UA for having training grounds that blow up every 5 seconds and spray dust everywhere
But thankfully Neijire is the best person ever and hooked you up with some super cute chapstick
Since it was new and just sitting in her book bag, she just told you to keep it
NEIJIRE WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO SWEET?
You had to admit though, you really liked it- the packaging was pretty cute, it was nice on your skin, but the SMELL
OMG
You felt like a bakery was near you every step you took
And everytime you licked your lips it tasted like sweets, which was an amazing addition
Makes ya wonder how safe it is to consume makeup 👀
Mirio is the cutest boyfirend though-wherever your class is, he waits for you outside and walks with you until you have to go your seperate ways
So, as usual, he’s waiting for you outside the locker room, a wide grin plastered on his face
Once he sees you walk out of the doors, he’s already bounding over, his arms swinging cause hes always just so happy to see you 
“Hey sunshine!” he greets you like any other day, his voice just radiating happiness
Some days though, Mirio will kiss the top of your head as he grabs your hand and walks you to his class
Other days, he’s a little more bold, instead leaning down to give you a kiss on your lips as he snakes his hand around your waist
TODAY BABE 
IS THAT DAY
You can tell he’s feeling a little more *frisky cause he’s got this mischievous glint in his eyes
ehhhh why not indulge him?
So you get on your tippie toes, leaning in to him and planting a quick kiss on his lips
But thats when Mirio gets confused- did you eat something?Is it cake? CInnamon roll? Cookie? But whatever it is, it tastes GOOD
“Sweetie, did you buy something from the vending machine?” he asks, a confused grin on his face as he eyes you
You laugh, not realizing that Mirio would be affected by your new chapstick too, 
“Oh no, its just a chapstick Niejire gave me, I think its cake batter flavored- do you like it?”
Mirio licked his lips , savoring the lingering flavor on his skin
“You batter belive it!”
*cue the groaning

Tumblr media
Flavor: Pina Colada
So Mina, bless her little music crazed heart, somehow won a pack of tickets from a radio station to a new water park opening up not too far from UA
It was superrrrr expensive to get in, but the music station hooked all you guys up with VIP tickers, a private cabana, food, THE WORKS
You had been running around with the group all day
(except Bakugo- he either went to the lazy river or the surfing simulator thignie cause Kaminari said he would wipe out and wanted to prove him wrong)
Everybody else wanted to do everythingggg, from ride the craziest rides to trying all the food the park had
By the end of the day, you were completely beat and just wanted to rest
Mina was sitting beside you in  the cabana (again, thank you radio station for hooking some teens up!), just searching it for snacks the boys hadnt eaten
“Aww cmon, really?! We have chapstick but no food?!”
Your head instantly perked up at the sound- chapstick? God, you could deifnitely use some right now from all that chlorine and sun...
You asked Mina to toss you one, the pink skinned girl throwing you a tube as she grumbled about how “piggy” boys were
You checked the flavor on the tube, the fruits on the side label instantly telling you it was something tropical
As you were putting it on, the boys of Bakusquad were bounding up the steps, their feets covered in sand-
“Guess what?! We got Bakugo to go in the wave pool! Isnt that crazy! It had sand on the bottom, like a real beach-”
Kirishima was just gushing and super excited, Bakugo looking like a pissed off wet cat next to him
You sat up quickly, happy to see your boyfriend, his spiky hair all wet from the day and his boxers dripping
As Kirishima and Sero were messing with an extremely annoyed Bakugo, you went and grabbed the boys some towels, giving the last one to your boyfriend
“Aww thanks babe,” he gushed out, his hands grabbing the towel gingerly as he leaned to kiss you
But wait- you tasted- really sweet?
Kaminari pulled back slightly, a small smirk on his lips, cause damn, that tasted really good
“Did you eat some fruit or something? Cause you taste super yummy babe-”
You  pointed to your lips as you told him how Mina found some free chapstick lying around in the cabana
Kaminari just gave you this really blissed out stare as he sneaked one more peck from you- he was kinda wishing his friends weren't here, cause hed totally be making out with you with that yummy stuff on your lips...
“Do me a favor and dont take that stuff off, okay? Until we get back to the dorms,”
He sent you a small wink, weaving behind you inconspicously, and giving your bottom a playful pinch
WHY YOU GOTTA BE A FLIRT KAMINARI
(Also before you left Kamianri most definitely dumped the whole jar of chapsticks into his backpack)

Flavor: Peppermint
You and Sero had just gotten coffee from a little cafe when it starts to rain
Like alottttttttttt
And of course it happens when your right outside, waiting for your ride to take you back home
So you two are just standing there like weirdos with the rain POURING, Sero holding up his jacket over both of your heads
But honestly, it’s not doing much to block out the rain, so honestly-why not have some fun?
You run out of the fabric, instantly feeling your whole body get drenched as you start twirling and laughing
“He-hey wait, babe!”
Sero’s gonna be laughing, and now y’all playing a wierd game of tag
Aghhhhhh so cute tho 🥺🥺
He catches you pretty quickly, his tape grabbing your waist and pulling you to him,,,
You instantly collide with his chest, your cheeks rosy from running around so much and your hands resting on his chest
Sero gives you the biggest grin, his finger under your chin and raising it to look at him
“You know your the biggest tease I know?”
“Yup!”
He laughs, placing a kiss on your lips-and omg why are you minty? and it feels soooo good to him, cause honestly mint isn’t a bad flavor-
“Hey babe whatcha got on your lips? Did you eat-gum or something?”
You just laugh and tell him it’s some chapstick you got (imagine the mint eos U KNOW THE ONE)
He asks if it’s the egg chapstick OML 💀
Yes Sero the egg chapstick
His lips are parted a little, his eyes wider than usual cause he’s lowkey confused on how he liked that so much
But he send you another huge grin before he kisses you again-
“I think your gonna need to wear that more for me, yeah?”

Flavor: Cinnamon
Bakugo has ben practically forcing you to wake up at ungodly hours with him to train
He says its cause “youre getting weak” but really he’s a total simp for having such close contact with you
Also he’s a little brat and put his all into it  so you cant ever beat him, which boosts his ego for some reason?
“Hah, that really the best you got?” he scoffs down at you, his calloused hands pinning you to the ground as his body cages you in for the umpteenth time
Honestly, its hard to fight when your 1) annoyed about loosing and 2) have your hot as hell boyfriend pining you to the ground
But thankfully
THANKFULLY
He was starting to overheat, his breathe coming out in low pants as  strands  of hair began sticking to his forehead
You felt one of his palms begin to slip ever so slightly near you, and on instinct you knew you had to do something, you finally had an opening-
so you caused a distraction 
Your hands quickly flew to the nape of his neck, pressing his head down to your so you could kiss him square on the lips
Bakugo was completely confused in the best way possible- he didnt expect that to happen, but hell, hes not complaining-
until his lips start to tingle
“-the hell?!” he sputters out, his mind trying to figure out what was going on just before you successfuly flip him over, with you now on top
You stared down triumphantly at your boyfriend, not knowing how well that worked- until you noticed how shiny Bakugo lips look
He begins mashing his lips together, trying to rub it off since you had his hands pinned down
“The hell is on my lips? Agh, dont tell me its that weird ass lip stuff that supposed to make your lips bigger or something-’’
Ummmmm how does he know about lip plumping lip gloss? Question for a another day-
“Its chapstick silly,” you giggle, “-cinnamon”
Honestly, he’s gonna like it-this boy likes spicy things and the fact that “spicy” sensation came from his s/o....shoooottttt he is in love
But
Of course
He’s gonna act like it’s wierd or something, cause HES wierd
“Cinnamon? You couldn’t get something normal like cherry or grape?”
You scrunch up your nose, cause yeah your not for those flavors AT ALL, and Bakugo finds his chance
He quickly flips you over, your back now against the floor and his body on top of yours
“Cmon, baka don’t tell me thats seriosuly all you got-“
Don’t remind him that you were able to flip him over tho he’ll turn red and tell you to shut it

                        [~*~]
“I need help.” He tried to not grimace with how the words dried even further his hurt throat as they left his lips, shivering when a sudden breeze from night’s cold froze the sweat on his skin. Remy - at least that was what he said his name was, but trusting in a pirate word could lead you to not so pleasant storms - snorted, moving his cuffs and pressing their backs closer.
 “Yeah, no shit.” His voice was raspy, tired, and not for the first time Emile wondered for how long he had been there, since his presence was already a constant when the amateur sailor’s boat had been plundered and he got captured, thrown on the darkest part of the ship and finding his company.
 “That makes two of us.” The last part came out as a bitter whisper.
 A peaceful wave hit the hull, making the ship stumble and rock under the moonlight that gazed pieces of their skin through a few cracks in the highest woods.
 “No. I mean, yes, but…” Emile sighed deeply, tired awareness washing over him as the sailor realized the full extent of his next words. He rested his head on Remy’s shoulder, a move which led the other to untense his muscles and be more open to conversations.
 They didn’t have much more time before the moon hit its highest spot in the sky and Emile wasn’t sure if they would make it to another full moon. Remy could only distract the crew so much. “I need your golden necklace.”
 The other stiffed, breath hitching, stiff pose. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
 “Yes, you do.” Calm voice, free of any accusation, his brown eyes stared at the ‘ceiling’ picturing stars and constellations and the unstable clouds and how it feels when the salty breeze hit his skin freely. “I know it’s probably an important possession for you given how long you’ve been hiding it, and I’m really sorry I am asking for it but we really need a good offering.”
 “Are you going to beg Neptune to save us?” Sound of fabric being ripped, the metal’s clicking making itself known. “He has islands and ships of gold being given to him right now, goldenfish. This may be a preciosity, but isn’t that worth it.” 
 Goldenfish: Breakable; Pirates who didn’t experience the true nightmares of surviving in the ocean; Naive; Fragile;
 “If I’m going to go in a shit way, at least let a captain die with the last of his treasures.” His voice choked in the middle of the sentence, but both pretended to not notice it.
 Emile felt dread fill his stomach, tightly closing his eyes as tears pricked their corners. Their captors never held their tongue, always discussing all their possibilities to get rid of their prisoners during parties and meetings on the main deck, voices loud enough to be heard by them both. Besides, the sailor was sure the crew wouldn’t stop themselves from making morbid remarks whenever Remy was called to ‘amuse’ them, even though the other refused to say anything to him when he was back, playing it off with some sarcastic sentences and ironic expressions.
 (Emile attempted to be interesting one time, trying to pry their attention from Remy at all costs. His light-hearted efforts and humored puns were rewarded with nasty bruises and more chores to deal with. There were no sarcastic phrases that day.)
 Still… It was the first time they talked about it out loud. Ignoring their eventful end made things more forgettable, easier to look away. But, now Emile was sure he wasn’t the only one sensing the impatience clouding and suffocating the air around them as the days went by.
 Emile wished they had more time. “We’re not going to die and I’m not going to pray to Neptune. Not today.” Remy scoffed, yet listening. “I have a pink pearl with me, it can…” His sentence trailed off, his tired mind trying to find an easy way to explain his family situation. “Some spirits own me a favor.” 
 Emile had seen Remy’s eyes when he was dragged, barely conscious, to his prison for the first time. They were black and deep like the bottom of the Ocean, full of untold beauties and unseen mysteries. He could almost feel their glare on him.
 “Do your spirits happen to be friends with the sea nymphs? The Thunder Damsels? Because that is the only fucking way we’re getting out of this.”
 “They can help.” Emile stayed firm, trying to buckle their conversation out the way it was heading.
 “Because…?”
 “Remy, we don’t have much more time, please, give me the necklace.”
 “Oh, of course, I am sorry for trying to know who my last possession is going to. What a bitch, am I right? Wait! Thinking better about it, why don’t we go up there and ask for the crew to help us? They’re full of gold, too!” He hissed. Because he couldn’t even shout out his irritation. Because it has been days since he last slept due his haunting nightmares, but the possibility of this being a dream freezes his blood and tights his throat. Because Emile’s hope was beginning to make its way to his soul and he knew how dangerous that could be.
 “Ghosts, ok?! They are ghosts!”
 Remy stared the wall in disbelief, seconds passing by. Emile closed his eyes.
 “My stars, are you trusting our lives to haunting ghosts?” He barked a laugh, despair and astonishment dripping from his words. 
 But Emile didn’t laugh, seeming to shrink behind him.
 So, Remy stopped, convincing himself that it was because of the coughing fit that hit him, molesting his dry throat, and not the soft heart he so fiercely denied to have.
 Someone dropped a cup on the upper floor, curses immediately following suit. The sound made them both jump a few inches in the air, unable to stop the squirming, the shivering. The other’s whisper cut the silence.
 “If you can’t trust me now, I don’t know when you will.”
 Remy sighs, pressing their backs closer and lightly elbowing his ribs. 
 “Drop the pout, starfish.” As he got up, his chained hands maneuvered to grab his necklace from the hidden pocket on his boot, dropping it on the cold floor and carefully pushing it in Emile’s direction. “If this doesn’t work, I’m getting you back later.”
 “Thank you.” The sailor’s smile only increased as Remy scoffed. Although, he didn’t have too much time to rest in the warm feeling blooming on his chest, quickly getting the pearl from his own hidden place. He gathered the two objects on his hands before sitting in front of a small hole he opened on the lower part of their cell, a glimpse of the ocean shining behind it. 
 Deep breaths. Ok. He could do this.
 The well known chant sea flew from his mouth. It sounded like sunny afternoons and picnics, and nights embraced on the dimming dark, and soft hugs, and loud laughter with the feeling of freedom and dances around a wooden, crowned table. It was melodious, it was memories and his last shout of hope. His energy, his gratitude, his fear, his last chance, his last treasure, everything was offered.
 The objects fell from his palms and were engulfed by the deep, incessant waves. 
 For a moment nothing happened and Remy regretted all his life choices, a not new habit of his, however at least this time he had a different reason, especially as Emile continued the tunes of that old song, apparently unfazed by the clear failure of his attempt.
 Then Remy realized.
 Besides his voice there was…quiet.
 A life dedicated to explore and navigate the seven seas could be a lot of things. I could be dangerous, it could be difficult, lonely, adventurous, memorable, exhausting and even boring. But never quiet. There was always something. Always the melody of the waves carrying your ship, the wind slapping the sails, the mermaids whispering in your ears, a curse daunting your dreams… Silence could be present, but not for long and never as absolute.
 But now…?
 Now everything was quiet.
 And that made a run shiver run across his spine, muscles tenses, instincts shouting. “Emile?”
 The sailor didn’t respond, didn’t even stir as the temperature turned unbearably colder.
 “Emile,” His dark eyes widened as his breath became visible in the air. “Emile, stop singing!”
 “I already did.” He whispered, his stranger soft voice muffled, with something missing.
 The ex captain noticed the truth behind his words as he concentrated. His senses could notice the melody coming from nowhere specific, echoing on the walls in a steady, patient pace. 
 A soft high pitched giggle cut the song. And, no, Remy did not shriek. Shut up.
 “They’re here.” Emile’s voice was filled with something he couldn’t quite place, nor did have time as, in the middle of the room, a silhouette started to form, trembling and bending the light around it.
 [...]
 Aaron didn’t believe a lot of things, which, in itself, doesn’t mean that the amount of things he did believe was in any way whimsy. 
 Actually, he considered himself a very rational, plain figure. He believed in what he saw, touched and experienced. That is why he was on the nocturn security duty. His mind wasn’t easily fooled and his instincts were something he had plenty of capacity to control. 
 He prided himself on the moments of dinner and drinking, the hours of dawn when the crew would be a tad too drunk, playing and saying that, if any day Aaron stumbled on the feathered singer - because even on the fog of the rum, they knew best than say the name of the creatures out loud and pull bad luck onto their travel - he would be controlled enough to laugh at them, spit some curses and them navigate away while appreciating their nice melody in the background.
 That was the memory which clawed on him as the mist involved the masts, swirling in a calm manner to the wooden floor, a whispering beginning to take over his eardrums. It was a song that made his bones ache and muscles tremble. He closed his hands on fists, nails tearing the epidermis to stay firm. 
 Even when a not-quite red, not-quite translucid figure appeared four feet away from him. Sitting in front a mesmerizing pitfire, carefully rocking the silver liquid in the golden chalice held firmly by his fingers, his lips parted, the chant pouring from them.
 And the fire? The fire danced under his control, at each musical note it contorted and expanded, inch by inch, flame by flame. It got higher, vivid, swirling wound the translucid form who extended his hand and let the element run freely across his palm, petting it as if it was a domesticate, harmless animal.
 The calm melody hit its climax, the high, vibrant note was prolonged, taking over the air, stealing all the attention and all the oxygen from the viewer.
 He got up and the flames continued to travel from his hands through his body, burning his clothes which dissolved in brilliant ashes and left behind a gleaming trail of a completely new vestment being formed.
 Under Aaron’s – mesmerized – attentive gaze long crimson sleeves involved his arms, crawling across his shoulders and leading the way to his chest, a warm white fabric shining under the moonlight, the fervent grooves that cut it in the form of limpid waves flowed through the petticoat from the gorgeous dress from the figure that couldn’t be named as translucid, anymore.
 The song stopped.
 The flames, much higher, much larger, raised like curtains behind the mysterious being, and his scarlet screaming eyes focused on Aaron, stealing his oxygen, again, and demanding – commanding him to show - every slight drop of his attention. His lips parted, one more time.
 The song was back.
 And he began to dance.
 The fire accompanied the synchronized movements of his arms, also performing its own dance on the ship, spreading across the floor on the rhythm of his footsteps, sliding from the vestment’s veils and taking over all the space, climbing the ratlines, burning the masts, consuming the emergency boars and dancing together with the red figure and his frenetic melody, which overflowed and inundated everything around, attacking and drowning Aaron, who didn’t allowed his glare to deviated from the moves before him for one single second, all the others things being forgotten.
 Beautiful. Everything was beautiful.
 “And wouldn’t it be even more if you could dance with him?” A velvety voice – that wasn’t his – whispered on his mind in golden shades.
 “Yes…” Aaron answered, hoarse. When did his throat get so dried like this? Why didn’t he realize it sooner? Why wasn't the oxygen coming back?
 “Then go.” The gold thought was fast in cutting his line of thinking, leading him to focus one more time on the figure in front of him. “He will love to guide you through the steps.”
 And Aaron agreed quickly, wondering how the other’s hands would feel under his touch. If they would be cold for his previous translucent state or hot just as the fire that accompanied him. He questioned himself if the flames would follow his pace, dancing with him, as well. He wanted. He wanted to be so beautiful like this. Maybe if he controlled the fire, maybe if he showed himself so skilled like this the being before him, he would be the one mesmerized. He would be the one to bow and to ask him for a dance.
 He got closer and closer from the fire, extending his hand, about to pet it.
 Perhaps…
 A splitting pain spread like an explosion through the length of his arm and Aaron moved away with a scream, tears falling from his eyes with the painfully beat of his burned hand capturing all his senses, the song and dance disappearing from his mind.
 And suddenly the frightened screams filled his eardrums. Sounds of pleas for help, of kicks and punches and wood crackling smacking him in an only one hit that destabilize the pirate, leaving him coughing and gasping and loud, so LOUD-
 His eyes widened. Hot. Hot. Everything was burning. He was burning.
 He wanted to scream. His throat was dry, but he needed to scream, needed to warn everyone, needed to-
 “Rest.” The calm, velvety voice came back to his mind, offering peace, a safe space to where he could flee.
 (An illusion made especially for him.)
 However, he couldn’t. Everything was hot and burning and it shouldn’t be like that. He knew it shouldn’t be like that. This wasn’t normal. Wasn’t good. Screams.  He also needed to scream. Because he was hot and the ship was hot and he was-
 “-With a fever. You’re burning from sickness. Just a small fever isn’t something worth waking and alerting the others, right? You’re so clever, so strong, you sure can manage to ignore such futile, delirious dream alone. Maybe the rest of the crew wouldn’t be able to, but you’re braver. No one can ever fool you.”
 Yes. This was true. He was intelligent, reasonable. That is why they always choose him to be on the night duty, because no one could do a better job than him.
 A very known song begins to ask for his attention, one more time.
 He can do it. He knows how to take care of the danger, so-
 “-so there is no reason to worry, because there isn’t any danger here. It’s just a dream. A beautiful dream.”
 His eyes rise and meet again with the dancer. Beautiful. So beautiful.
 “Yes. That is true. Then why don’t you just relax and enjoy your wonderful, special dream?” The yellowish, velvet aura involves his body and suddenly the hotness stops to bother him, just like the ship dismantling in flames and the screams of help of the pirates locked on their rooms, terrified by the illusions taking form and life in the middle of the darkness.
The red eyes, for a second, focused on something behind Aaron, smiling, before finally sticking on his, the smile still on his expression as his hand went in his direction and rested on his forehead, a melodious tune following his acts.
 “Sleep and dance on your dreams.”
 And then everything disappeared in soot and ebano.
 [...]
 “Oh my stars!! Martin! It’s been so long!” Émile controlled himself to not laugh at Remy’s astonished expression – even if the shorter tried to hide it in a nonchalant behavior, - which proved itself to be simpler when the sky-blue ghost dashed until they were face to face, squeezing his cheeks and alternating between smiling at him and frowning at the number of old and new bruises that covered his skin. “You’re so tall now!! You kiddos grow up so fast!! Do these hurt? No worries! Roman, Remus and Janus are taking care of everything so we will be able to properly take care of you and your friend in a bit, okay? It’s been so much time since they saw you! I bet they also can’t wait to hear all the news!”
 Picani stared deep into that shiny gaze, couldn’t help himself but smile back at Patton, a faint, almost erased memory of the blue figure helping him and his grandpa to make cookies in one of the docks they used to visit, they all whistling happily the known melody shining on the back of his mind. The memory was blurred, mostly consisting in laughter, songs and a warm feeling.
 “Pat,” he gulped, mindless playing with the chains that locked his wrists on the walls of the cell, a frown in his face. Patton lightly hit the side of his own head, dislodging a bit his glasses’ frame, letting go of his face and heading to the keys poorly hanging on a rusty nail on the other side of the room.
 (A constant reminder from the others of the freedom they could achieve if they only would be able to research the keys…)
 “That is right, that is right!” He carried a happy aura on his steps, floating to them in a fast pace, unlocking their cell, kindly glancing at him and Remy, who eyed him for a few seconds before having his attention claimed by smoke descending from the cracks on their ceiling. “We should probably be heading out here just now!”
 “Pat,” Emile tried again, holding his hand when the ghost freed him, ignoring the goosebumps running across his arms in a protest about the coldness of the other’s skin. His tune was careful. “I am Emile. Emile Picani. My dad gave me the pearl.” Patton’s smile faltered, a glint of understanding and something else taking over the gleam on his eyes. “It’s been twenty three years.”
 “Oh,” he muttered, squeezing his hands back, eyes looking for something in his gaze. Something Emile couldn’t quite place. “oh, kiddo… I am sorry.”
 Emile gave him a kind, sad smile.
 “Me too.”
 “You really grew up fast, didn’t you, kiddo?” Remy deviated his eyes from the scene, partly because the feeling of twist on his guts meant that he was probably intruding on a private moment and partly because his attention was again held by the sudden, growing hotness which didn’t cease to expand across the entirety of the ship. Muffled screams coming from all the places and nowhere at the same time. His body started to get absurdly antsy with adrenaline, sweat dripping from his forehead.
 A flaming part of the ceiling fell in the middle of their cell, jolting the two from their conversation, the blue ghost blinking a few times at the flames.
 “Ah.” He speeded his pace to free them from their cell, smoke and soot starting to paint and took over the air. “Well, guess this is our clue to get going!! Come on, come on! This way!”
 “Fucking heck finally.” Remy only didn’t shout his displeasure due how hurt his throat was, however he made it sure his voice wasn’t low enough so the others wouldn’t be able to notice, even though none of them opted to point his reaction, deciding instead to nearly dash through the doors and stairs of the ship until finally arrive at the handrails, ignoring the way flames danced and deviated from them, a red figure smiling brightly at Patton’s direction when he waved, yellow eyes from another golden person staring them as if he could read their souls.
 Remy ignored both as another ship arrived, medium size, well conserved and barely noticeable, his eyes feeling the urge to look at everywhere except it every time he tried to concentrate his efforts to capture all the details, but he kept himself firm, noticing how it doesn’t own any visible treasure, the only thing more catching being the navy fog covering all its extent, flowing in abundance from the form in the main deck, his hands moving with precise, fast gestures.
 A dark purple ghost popped from absolutely nothing in front of them, inquisitive, wary glare.
 Remy narrowed his eyes back, his guts screaming to not trust the wooden board thrown at their current position, making a not very secure path from one ship to another. The purple being smirked at his expression.
 “V! We’re back.”
 “Good. The princey and the snake right there are almost over and Logan is growing restless. Remus is already on his room, resting.” His face lost its softness when he stared right back at the humans. “Get in. Fast.”
 Emile nodded, wanting nothing more than to leave this nightmare and maybe get a good night of sleep, but his arm was held in a warm, firm – yet gentle – grip.
 “Is that bitch even safe?”
 V’s smirk grew. “Define ‘safe’.”
 “Things that I can touch and embark without fucking dying.”
 “Death is inevitable,” the purple – V, as it seems, looked smug with his words, - any choice is just a pathway to this end.”
 “I’m going to fucking show him the pathway.”
 “Remy, please no.” Emile sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
 “Think I can’t punch a motherfucker ghost? Fight me.”
 “I know you can’t. Bring it on.”
 “Virgil.”
 “Remy.”
 Patton and Emile said at the same time, with the same hard tone that made both of them deflate in a very similar way, still glaring dangerously at each other, but clearly putting more physical space between them. Emile patted the ex-captain hands, warm eyes.
 “Can you go first so I can hold on your cape? My balance is not very good.” Because he realized, somewhat, how he was trembling and that holding him was the one thing assuring Remy that none of this was just another crazy dream.
 He gulped, then nodded, his usual snarky remark already falling.
 “If I die, no offer will get me out of your back.”
 “Noted.” The sailor replied, chuckling lowly.
 And then they both walked to their first of many future nights, after so many tears and tears, of being able to watch the stars and feel the sea’s breeze.
 Safe.

Matters of the heart S2 ep 12
Matters of the heart
Season 2 Episode 12
The alley girl {OPENING CREDITS} {Open to a slow zoom on Varian’s house as thunder rolls in the distance; lightning flashes and we cut to the bedroom where Varian tosses and turns} Varian: ngghh...no… {We see his nightmare; Isaiah falling off the cliff; Cassandra being tortured by her power; Quirin being devoured by a black mist in the shape of a wolf; everything fades to a black void with only Estelle in the room; her back is turned to him}
Varian: E-Estelle? {She turns to him with pink and green eyes and the cut on her neck visible; when she speaks it is Zhan tiri’s voice} Estelle: Is this your happily ever after, child? {Varian jolts up in bed with a shout and wakes Zapada in the process} Zapada: mn? Iubriea mea? {Varian gets up from the bed and pours water from the pitcher into the basin on the dresser} Zapada: Another nightmare? {Varian splashes his face} Varian: Probably for the best...it’s almost dawn and I have to be at the castle… {Zapada gets up and walks over to him; she takes his hand and he looks at her} Zapada: You have barely been sleeping…and it is falling rain outside. Varian: It doesn’t matter...what matters is finding that cult and destroying them. Zapada: Varian how do you expect to do that when you look like death himself? Varian: Zapada, please… Zapada: No! You will catch your demise! Varian: and they are causing people’s demise! They took my friend, destroyed an entire kingdom, killed Estelle, my dad, my son-! Estelle: Who was no less of a son to me than the one within me, Varian!...but very well. If you want to perish before you’ve even obtained victory...then be my guest. {She walks over to the bed and lies down} Varian:...fine. {He leaves and shuts the door; Zapada’s eyes water and she quietly cries into her pillow; Cut to the morning in the Dark Kingdom; Isaiah rolls over in his cave with a groan} Isaiah:...ugh...I can’t wait to have my bed back… {A distant scream rings out in the forest and Isaiah jolts up} Girls voice: NOT AGAIN! AHHHHH!! Isaiah: H-Hang on! I’m coming! {Isaiah runs through the trees and hops over rocks; he rushes as fast as he can and arrives at a clearing; cautiously he steps forward} Isaiah:...hello? Girls voice: Up here you pillock... {Isaiah looks up to see a young girl hanging from a tree branch by her foot} Isaiah:......*snerk* Girl: Snicker one more time and it’ll cost your tongue. Isaiah: heh...sorry, here let me help you dow- Girl: no I got it… {She takes out a shiv and starts cutting the rope} Isaiah: If you have everything under control why did you scream? Girl:  you ever heard of frustration?  also, I was yanked up into a tree anyone would scream! Isaiah: I-... I can't argue with that… {she cuts through the rope and starts falling} Girl: AH! {Isaiah lunges and catches her} Girl: Hmph! Get off me! Stinky boy! {She gets up and fixes the bandana on her head} Isaiah: Soooo...i’m Isaiah! {He puts out a hand and she stares at it for a moment before going to pick up her bag} Isaiah:....ookkkaaayy… Girl:...Verbena. Isaiah: huh? Verbena: my name is Verbena. Isaiah: O-oh! Okay! Cool! So what’cha doing out here? Verbena: Foraging. Isaiah: oh..cool..yup…… {She stares at him and then groans} Verbena: ...if your coming along, keep up and shut up. Isaiah: R-right! Got it! {he runs up and stays next to her} Isaiah:...so what are we foraging? Verbena: ugghh… {Cut to Catalina walking down into the dungeon; she looks disturbed and angry; she stands in front of Noremoths cell}Catalina: I’d like to talk to the prisoner in this cell, please. Pete:...you’re sure? Catalina: just open the door… {Pete goes over and unlocks the door; Catalina walks in and bares her fangs in a growl; Noremoth looks up} Noremoth: Catalina! {She slams the door closed} Noremoth: Cat I can explain! Catalina: Oh I’m all ears! But lets review! You lied to me, you’re part of a dangerous cult, you killed people, and you attacked Corona multiple times. Did I miss anything? Noremoth: nope that’s uh...pretty much it. {She throws her hands up and walks to the other side of the cell} Noremoth: ...I never meant to hurt you. Catalina: No you only meant to lie, kill, and steal. Noremoth: Technically I never lied- {She gets close to his face, baring her fangs and eyes turning red} Noremoth: BAH! Okay! Okay! Relax! Catalina: You don’t get it do you!? Noremoth: What!? Catalina: I trusted you! I..I liked you! And you betrayed me! You hurt my friends! You hurt my kingdom! And I hate you for it! I honestly wish I had the strength to end you I would gladly tear your throat out for my friend and family! Noremoth: Cat… {Catalina shakes her head and runs out of the cell and slams the door} Noremoth:...smooth ol’ boy...smooth. {Fade to the cult HQ; Larkspur sits in her room with messy hair and a disheveled appearance; she takes a knife and throws it at a Coronian flag she has on her wall; a knock sounds at her door} Vergus: Mistress? {She tumbles out of her bed and fixes herself} Larkspur: C-Come in! Vergus: Mistress,  we were badly battered from the recent battle.  we have many wounded and we're running out of supplies. Larkspur:  and our vessel? Vergus:   despite the doubtless psychological harm that she suffered she appears to be in good health. Larkspur: That is all you needed to say I really don't give a rat's arse about her “psychological harm” Vergus:  regardless mistress, we must obtain more supplies.  the dark kingdom has a trade port. it's about two days’ time from our hideaway. Larkspur:  then what are you still doing here? get together a small group of those that aren't wounded and go obtain things to replenish our supply. Vergus:  well there's one more thing mistress. Larkspur: of course there is. Vergus:  we wish to know what you plan to do now. Noremoth has been captured.  and he didn't exactly leave on the best terms.  he's a serious threat and could easily be giving away information.  we wish to know your orders. Larkspur: hmm.. well it is true he could be a threat.  but we can't just go barreling into Corona.  as you said before we're all wounded and need time to heal,  on top of everything we're low on supplies.  I suppose we should plan for a battle then. if we don't attack they surely will attack us. looks like this little war is at a standstill. Vergus: Mistress? Larkspur:  take a small group of the members that aren't wounded.  go to the dark Kingdom, obtain the supplies that we require,  but also try and recruit some new members. look for the lowlifes of the town.  people who are desperate, weak of heart, there should be plenty.  if we're going to fight a battle in the future we should have more able-bodied men and women. Vergus: Yes mistress. Larkspur:  and Vergus? don't disappoint me. {cut to Verbena walking into the kingdom gates with Isaiah in tow} Verbena: So let me get this straight.  you got separated from your family and you're here for at least another week until you can find enough reserves for a four day trip on foot back to Corona. Isaiah: That pretty much sums it up yeah… Verbena:  well you're doomed. Isaiah: Wait wha-Verbena! Benny! May I call you Benny? Verbena: no. Isaiah: Benny,  what do you mean I'm doomed!? Verbena:  look I've been surviving on these streets by myself for 2 years.  I have survived starvation, infection, and almost dying of exposure.  I’m a big girl and I can tell just by looking at you, you wouldn't last a day. Isaiah: oh ho really? How so? Verbena:  do I really have to explain?  from what you've been telling me you relied too heavily on the grown-ups around you. you can't do that when you're living on the streets. a street kid has seen no lesser than a rat.  you have to do what you can to survive which means doing things that you aren’t gonna be happy with. Isaiah:  how old are you? Six?  who hurt you? Verbena: actually I'm this many! *holds up fingers*  7 almost 8. my parents died in a house fire. I’ve been living on my own ever since. Isaiah:  why don't you just go to an orphanage? {She grabs his face and pulls him down} Verbena: I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO THAT MEAN PLACE! Isaiah: Okay! Okay! Geez! {she lets go and starts walking before they both hear a grumble; she turns and looks at him} Verbena:  are you kidding me? when was the last time you ate? Isaiah:... on the ship. Verbena: ugghh.. helpless utterly helpless.  come on stinky let's find you something to eat. {Fade to Lily looking out a window from the seat in her room; she sniffles and wipes a tear before a knock is at her door} Cyrus: Lily? It’s me!...it’s all of us really. {Eddard opens the door} Cyrus: Wow rude...she didn’t express we could come in! Eddard: Lily? You okay sis?{Her sister Rosie sits by her} Rosie: Your handmaiden said that you've been turning away all sorts of food even your favorite. Cyrus:  you love lemon meringue pie. Lily:  I just don't feel it… {They all look at each other concerned; Eugene walks in} Eugene: don’t worry guys...I got this. All: Dad! Eugene:  if you guys could give us the room I think your sister needs some one-on-one with her awesome dad. Cyrus: Yes father. {all but Eddard walk out of the room before Cyrus goes back and pulls him out} Eugene: Lily?...sweetheart you can’t keep doing this.  I know it hurts but- Lily:  no you don't know! You can’t possibly know! {Eugene jumps} Lily:  I should have gone with you. Eugene:  no.  that would have been ten times worse.  you could have been killed then. Lily:  maybe then I could have stopped them from killing my best for him. Eugene: there was nothing we could have done.  Lily none of this was your fault. none of this was anyone's fault. it wasn't supposed to happen this way. Lily: I liked ‘saiah… Eugene: I know princess… Lily: no I...I like liked him… Eugene: wait, you...OH...ohh… {Lily sobs} Eugene: oh princess c’mere… {Eugene picks her up and holds her in his lap; she snuggles into his chest} Eugene: It’s gonna be okay..it may not seem like it now but..it..it will...it will {he holds her tighter as it zooms out on them; cut to Varian tiredly exiting his Lab in the castle; he walks a bit before stopping and look up at the giant door he’s passing by; Zapada’s words from that morning ring in his head; he sets his stuff down} Varian:...Herz Der Sonne’s journal. {He looks around before he places a hand on the door} Varian:...I must be outta my damn mind. {Varian opens the door to the room and walks up to the journal; he sighs} Varian: I can’t believe I’m doing this… {He opens the book and flips through it; he stops at a page and stares at it before running his hand over it: he sighs} Varian: ….I really screwed up, huh?  failed to protect you...failed to protect our son.  Seems just yesterday we were here. {He smiles sadly and scoffs} Varian:  I really was still a stupid kid wasn't I?   thinking all of our problems would be solved because we signed a stupid book. {Fade to a flashback of him and Estelle sneaking in the room; Estelle runs over to the journal as Varian closes the door} Estelle:  has anyone seen us? Varian: not from what I've seen. Estelle: Good.  in my opinion, this has to be a private affair. Varian: indeed your grace. Estelle:  Ew don’t call me that. {they chuckle and Estelle opens the journal to a blank page; She then takes a quill but hesitates} Varian: …Estelle? You okay? Estelle: Oh! Y-Yes! Right as rain! Varian: we don't have to do this if you don't want to... I'm not going to hold it against you. Estelle:  no!  I want to do this. the last journal existed for hundreds of years.  I don't want there to only be a record of me being tied to that... Pompous duke!. Varian: won’t people find out? Estelle:  nobody goes back and looks at the other Pages until it's been decades maybe more.  please...Varian. I want to share a page with the man I love. The man I choose. {Varian looks stunned for a second but then his face softens; He takes a Quill and both sign the journal; Estelle kisses him; they stay in each other’s arms} Estelle: Well...it seems to be official now. Varian: yeah… Estelle: for better or for worse… Varian: No matter what happens… {Fade out and cut to the page with their names on it; a tear drips on the page; Varian sniffles and wipes his eyes before staring blankly at the page; with a cold stare he tears the page from the journal and stuffs it in his vest; cut to him walking out of the room and stopping to lean against the wall} Rapunzel: Varian! There you are! We’ve all been looking for you! Varian: for me? How can I help Rapunzel? Rapunzel:....you’re...not gonna like it. {Lance walks forward with a drink bottle} Varian: What is this? Eugene: a drink to share with Noremoth. Varian: ...Excuse me!? Rapunzel: Now Varian, please… Varian: No Hold up! You want me to share a drink with the man that murdered my family!? Eugene: Varian I know your upset with him but- Varian: Upset? you think i’m just UPSET with that man!? i’m 1000x more than that, Eugene! Rapunzel: okay enough! Both of you! Varian, We need information from him. from what we've heard him say he seems to be innocent of most of the crimes here. Varian: what!? Rapunzel:  from what he's been telling us it was mostly Larkspur giving the orders.  Quirin's death was an accident according to him,  he didn't know that Estelle was going to be the first target,  and Isaiah fell off the cliffs when Noremoth wasn't anywhere near him. It's the only information he was willing to give us. Lance:  he just keeps asking us to kill him and be done with it. Keira: and why don't we!?  okay so my Quirin's death was an accident but that means he still tried to kill Varian! And look at Catalina! Rapunzel:  I promise you, there will be consequences for him but right now his information is invaluable. If we're going to avenge Isaiah and anyone else that was killed at the cults hand we’re going to need his help. {Varian eyes the bottle before walking off with it} Catalina: Varian just...just don’t hurt him too bad… Varian:...no promises. {Cut to Isaiah in the marketplace of the dark kingdom} Isaiah: geez... bread here is so expensive. Verbena:  that's cause wheat doesn't do well here so we have to im-..im… Isaiah: ...Import? Verbena: yeah! import it from other kingdoms. Isaiah: seriously how are you alive? Verbena: I guess i’m just smarter than you. Isaiah: you little- Verbena: shh!...look! Isaiah: what? {She points to a small bag of moldy bread} Verbena: It's all we got. Isaiah: how are we going to the new convince him to sell us- {Verbena rushes in and grabs it before taking off} Baker: STOP! THIEF! Isaiah: BENNY!? Verbena: Lets go! {they both run through the street weaving around people as the baker chases them; At one point Benny trips and picks up as much of the bread as she can; The baker goes to grab her but Isaiah picks up an apple from a cart and throws it, hitting him in the nose} Baker: Filthy street pest! You broke my nose! Augh! {Isaiah runs up to her and pulls her into the alleyway} Verbena:...well...that could’ve gone better. Isaiah: Yeah i’ll say! What in the hell was any of that!? Verbena: I was getting us food! Isaiah: By stealing it!? I have coin! I could have bought food! Verbena: if I knew that I would have let you but like I said before, You gots to do things you don't like! Isaiah: Screw that!  I've never once even considered stealing food! if need be I would have gone to the forest and searched for food or dug in a trash can! I never would have stolen from anyone! now look what I did I broke some poor man's nose for you! Verbena:  and because of that we have dinner.  when it comes to survival sometimes you gotta be bad. Isaiah:  I would rather risk everything than hurt someone again! Verbena:...Again? {Isaiah jumps at his own words and gently touches his scar; Verbena sighs and hands him a stale roll of bread from the bag} Verbena:  ...here... just eat it. {Isaiah swipes the roll and takes a bite; Verbena grabs her own roll and picks the mold off before eating; she hears sniffles and looks over to see Isaiah wiping his eyes as he eats} Verbena:...why me? {She walks over and plops down by him eating her bread; Isaiah looks over to her leaning on him} Verbena:...sorry... {he smiles and leans on her as they eat; cut to Varian outside Noremoths door at night; Pete unlocks it for him and he walks in} Noremoth: Well.. this is a surprise.
Varian: be quiet… Noremoth:  did you really just walk in here just to tell me to shut up? Varian: and if I did? Noremoth: well not like I can do anything except call you a massive jerk. Varian: you see there's a lot of irony in the idea of you calling me a massive jerk. Noremoth:  whatever... what's that? Varian:  this? {he holds up the bottle} Noremoth:  no the Dancing Cockatoo on your head.. yes the bottle! Varian: thought you could use a drink. I can't imagine the water down here is very sanitary. Noremoth: What is it? Varian: I have absolutely no clue but all I know is it doesn't smell very good. Noremoth: then it is my kind of speed. {Varian pours two glasses and goes to hand him one} Varian: oh...wait… Noremoth: Yes Varian... I'll just levitate the glass with my unicorn powers. Varian: oh shut up… {He goes to unlock his wrists; Noremoth rubs them; Varian hands him the drink and he sits down on the ground with him} Varian: well this brings back memories. Noremoth:  drinking in a Cell brings back memories? Varian: the cell itself dingus...  I forget...it's been what.. 18..19 years… Noremoth:  yes I've heard your story.  I believe we only met after the death of Zhan tiri.  you went traveling right? Varian:  I was gifted the title of Royal engineer. but I needed a break from Corona after everything that happened.  I decided to go on a scientific Expedition.  I wanted to learn how the Sun Drop , the Moonstone, and the black rocks had affected other kingdoms.  I also wanted to learn more about me and see if there was a more scientific explanation for all of it. perhaps a new branch of science that we hadn't even discovered yet. Noremoth:  and then we came in and screwed everything up didn't we? {Noremoth smirks and sips his drink} Varian:  you can say that again. instead of a scientific expedition, I found myself trying to thwart you guys every time I entered a new kingdom. Noremoth:  we were very diverse with our recruiting.  Misfits of all the Seven Kingdoms joining together to create a new world order with help from the power of Zhan tiri and a vessel hosting the magic for us. Varian:... why Cassandra? Noremoth:... that was larkspur's doing. I grew up in Corona. I was here for that great battle. Varian:...What? I didn't see you at all. Noremoth: I don't know where I was born but I do know I grew up in an orphanage not too far from Corona.  orphanages paint such a pretty picture.  oh we care for orphaned so therefore we're Saints! puh!... I left the orphanage when I was 12 I couldn't stand it anymore and then I was a street child in Corona.  therefore I was useless.  I was here for everything. Varian: Everything? Noremoth:  yes... everything. how did you make your raccoon that size? Varian:  Okay moving on!  you never answered my question. Noremoth:  right... I told her about how Cassandra was the wielder of the Moonstone and how I saw her come into Corona many times.  I even told her about the time she practically destroyed the whole Kingdom with black rocks.  Larkspur insisted that that was who we had to have his The Vessel. I don't know why but I think it's because she thought she can handle it. Varian:  so why did you join the cult? Noremoth: I left Corona once I was old enough same as you. I met t Larkspur and she told me her ideas. I was sick of being treated differently for things that I couldn't control.  people assuming that I was filthy, uneducated, and just overall waste of space because I was an orphan Street child.  I want to spare future generations of that that's why I joined.  I've always had a code. never hurt women or children. Varian: BUT- Noremoth:  I was never near your son when he fell and that wasn't supposed to happen.  I didn't know that Cassandra’s first kill was Isaiah’s mother.  as for your father... I want you to know that I gave Larkspur hell for that.  I'm sorry. I tried to do good things for the world by joining this cult but it seems that I've only brought misery. I’m...truly sorry about that. {Noremoth picks up his cup; Varian watches him with a despondent look} Noremoth: ...Salut 
Varian:......Salut. {They clink glasses and both take a sip before Varian coughs and sputters and Noremoth laughs; fade to Isaiah leaning against a barrel in the alley asleep; Verbena walks over and kicks him} Isaiah: OW! Hey, what the- Verbena: Sh! C’mon! I gots to show you something! {Isaiah rolls his eyes and follows; she leads him out into the dark barren street} Isaiah: ...Okay, I'm out here now what? Verbena:  any second now… {They stand for a minute or two; Isaiah goes to say something to her but then notices a glow; He looks up to see colours dancing in the sky} Isaiah: Whoa... aurora borealis… Verbena: what? Isaiah:  Aurora Borealis is also known as the Northern Lights I read about it in my books back home.  I didn't know the dark Kingdom had such a cool view of it. Verbena:  I overheard some grown-up say that the lights only started appearing after the black rocks disappeared. that was way before I was born. Isaiah: and how old do you think I am? that's before I was born to! Verbena:  you're old and stinky! {Isaiah smirks and tickles her; she squeals and giggles} Isaiah: Oh am I!? I’m old and stinky? Well, you’re tiny and spiteful! {she squeals and giggles; Isaiah smiles and looks up at the sky with a sad smile} Verbena: do you miss your family? {Isaiah turns to look at her} Verbena:  I miss mine too. I miss my mommy. Isaiah:...me too squirt...me too.

How the Lights Shine So Colorful and Bright
Tumblr media
I hope that this satisfies. It just ended up being a bunch of cute fluff. This is actually two parts. Part one is just Rami X Reader and some quality time, the second part is Dad!Rami X Kids X Reader. Fyi, they have four kids in this one. :) Whoops. Busy little horn dogs. 
Warnings: implied/mentioned sex, and just a lot of cute fluffiness. I cried writing a part of this. 
These are just two separate HC’s totaling about 2k words
Rami X Reader
For the record I am not from NY, nor have I ever been to NY, so anything that is listed in here is sourced straight from a quick Google search.
Word Count: 1060 words (Part One)
You and Rami had escaped to New York in early December. He had some promotional work that he had to do, and he also said that you were overdue for some one-on-one quality time
You stayed behind in the hotel sleeping in for the first time in nearly six years, having four kids is exhausting, while he went to work. The twins, your toddler, and the baby
When he finally came back from fulfilling his work obligations he found you still in bed, dead asleep and he couldn’t help the quiet chuckle that escaped him.
He shrugged off his coat, and took his shoes off before he carefully climbed into the bed with you.
“Hey sleepyhead.” he says, as he gently brushes your hair back from your face.
“If no one is bleeding, dying, or the house isn’t on fire then please leave mommy alone!” you mumble out.
He laughs loudly and you open your eyes. 
“How was work?” you mumble out.
“It was fine. It’s always kind of fun doing the initial promo stuff. Buttttttttt, now that I’m free for the rest of the day I was thinking that maybe we could go get something to eat, and then maybe you know... because it’s been awhile since we’ve... ya know. I have plans for us tonight though.
Your day passes by all to quickly between shopping, eating, and having the hot sex you two were so overdue and that next thing you know it’s getting late. 
You had both taken a brief nap after one particular round of vigorous sex, so you were both charged up and ready for whatever he had planned.
He gets into the closet and pulls out a garment bag, and tells you to put the dress that is inside the bag on. 
You draw in a sharp breath, and then almost start to cry as you open the bag.  “Baby, where did you find this dress?”
“I found an old picture of the two of us and you were wearing it, and you know, I know people. So I had this dress made for you. I know how much that dress meant to you. You were wearing it when we first met, on our first date, when I asked to be my girlfriend, the first time we kissed, it’s also the dress I took off of you the first time the we had sex. When you lost everything in that house fire, you told me how that dress and your grandmother's copy of Pride & Prejudice were the only things that meant anything to you.”
You threw your arms around his neck and brought your lips to his. That is just how amazing your husband is, he would do anything like this for anyone that he loved. 
“So get dressed YN, because we have plans.”
You got dressed really quickly and taking his hand you both headed out the door of your hotel. 
Usually when you visit the city you both take public transportation, but not today. He had hired a car with a driver. You try to ask him what he was up to, and then it dawns on you.
“Baby are we.. are we going to go look at the Christmas lights?”
“Yes.”
“That’s just like-omg-I love you so much!!” you feel the tears wanting to start again, as you lean into his shoulder.
“Yes, just like our first date.We were both so broke, and I was so excited when you didn’t want to ditch me after that. That other guy that really liked you was rich, and I thought that there was no chance in hell that you’d ever want to see me again.”
“Oh baby. I had the biggest crush on you and we’d just never met, only ever seen each other from a distance. I never thought that I had a chance in hell because you were and still are the most beautiful man that I’ve ever seen.”
He kisses your temple, just as the car pulled over.
We’re at Rockefeller Center. You got out,and walked around for a bit. Admiring the giant Christmas tree and all of the other sights and sounds around us. 
When you were standing as close to the bottom of the tree as was possible, he took out his phone and angled the camera to capture you both in a selfie. 
An older gentleman and his wife were walking by and they stopped and offered to take a few pictures of the two of you. 
He presses another kiss to your temple, and then takes your hand in his. 
Your husband was so caring and gracious, that when a couple of fans spotted him, he happily agreed to take a few photos with them. You offered to take them and they declined and asked you to be in the picture too.
After spending a little while in one location, he’d have you back in the car and off to the next.
This time he shuffled you off to Bryant Park. The skating rink, with the NY Public Library looming in the distance, and all the little ways that the area was lit up. The random decorations around, the cool night air wanting you to just lean into him. The different vendors that were set up along the way.
The last location of the night was for a stroll down Fifth Avenue, mostly just so that you can look at all the displays in the windows, and the way things were decorated so meticulously. 
Your night ended with dinner at a restaurant close to your hotel, walking back in the chilly night air.
Walking, hand in hand, just like all those years ago. You really couldn’t have asked for a better date night. 
“YN, all the bright lights could never shine any brighter than you, or my love for you.”
He stops you in the middle of the sidewalk, others around you huffing in irritation as they had to maneuver around you; he reaches up to cup the back of your neck as your body practically melts into his. The kiss you shared was so sweet yet full of passion.
You rest your head on his shoulder. “This was the best date that we’ve had in a long time. Maybe we should strip it down more often, and just do things the cheap and simple way like we used to Rami.”
“I couldn’t agree more.”
***********************************************************
Part Two
Dad!Rami X Kids X Reader
Go to the LA Zoo Lights - for the record I’ve never been there, never done that, I hope it’s not disappointing. I did a basic Google search and got some information about this. I hope for those of my readers that have been, that it is accurately described.
Word Count: 1056
“Daddy!!!! I wanna go to the zoo!!” your oldest two started yelling repeatedly, in unison
“We will go in just a minute, mommy is just finishing changing the baby.”
The sun had just barely set, everyone fed, and now you two were getting ready to round up your crew of kiddos to get them in the car.
They had been excited about going to the zoo in the dark for a week. It’s all they’ve talked about.
The twins were bouncing off the walls, your toddler was having a meltdown because she wanted to wear her pink sparkly shoes, but they were nowhere to be found, so she had to wear her purple sparkly shoes instead. 
The baby had just pooped after being fed, so you were finishing changing him and then everyone was set to go.
Sometimes you and Rami joke about how crazy you had been to have kids so close in age, but parenthood was something he wore just as well as he wore those fancy suits.
Rami was trying to keep your three oldest entertained as you dealt with the baby.
Walking into the living room, you couldn’t help but to laugh. Rami was on the floor with three kids on top of him.
“Heeeellllllllllllpppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeee!!!” he dramatically cried out, waiting for you to come to his rescue.
With a loud sigh you set the baby down on his play mat on the floor before walking over to your husband. 
You grabbed your toddler and one of the twins and began to tickle them.
“My heroooo!” Rami laughed, as he gave you a kiss, standing up. Scooping the other twin into his arms and tossing him in the air. 
“Soooo… who is ready for some zoo lights? And maybe some ice cream after if it’s not too late and you behave?!”
The two oldest stopped in their tracks and started screaming, which caused your toddler to start screaming, which made the baby cry.
Rami just laughed, as he scooped your infant off the floor and into his arms. 
Grabbing the diaper bag that was full to bursting with everything that would possibly be needed for an evening away from the house, along with the stroller, baby carrier, and the backpack, you grab your small army and head to the car. 
You are a minivan family. Rami hated it at first, but once he realized there was no way in hell that you were all gonna fit in the small SUV you had, he had begrudgingly agreed and bought the minivan
You were strapping in the twins, while Rami was wrestling with your toddler, the baby having already been strapped in to his car seat and snapped into the base of his car seat.
Rami drove you all to the zoo, where the twins excited screeching was just getting louder by the minute, the toddler just jabbering away about who knows what, God bless your infant son who was blissfully asleep amongst all the chaos.
You two learned the hard way about 6 months ago, to keep everyone strapped in until you were ready to go. Rami was on twin patrol, and you would handle the stroller and wear the baby. 
You climb into the van and get the twins out, they had their instructions to stand next to the van, and hold hands. Next came the toddler who was promptly situated in the stroller, and lastly the baby that couldn’t be bothered to wake up, while being strapped into the carrier, grabbing his blanket to cover his tiny body. 
Rami took the twins ahead, to go get everyone’s tickets, while you got the two youngest taken care of.
You could hear your twins Oooohing and Ahhhhing at the entrance already, and you smiled sweetly, knowing that this was going to be a great decision.
Rami let the twins lead the way, as only certain parts of the zoo were open during the zoo lights.
Watching the kids faces light up in wonder and amazement at what they were seeing.
The lights were bright and fun, the lighted tunnels were a favorite. 
You never would have thought that this would have ended up being your lives, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. 
Rami only got upset once during the evening when a fan approached and asked for a photograph, to which Rami politely declined stating that he was out with his family. You almost stepped in and offered to allow him to take the picture, but he was firm in his ‘no’ because he didn’t want them to accidentally snap any pictures of the kids.
He would get so mad when someone would catch photos of him and the kids, and post them online.
He was always so adamant that he wanted the kids to be as far removed from his ‘celeb’ life as referred to it, as possible. 
The kids knew their dad didn’t have a normal job, but they didn’t know exactly what he did, and he wanted it that way, until they got a little older. 
He never allowed the kids to live a ‘jet set’ life, choosing to allow them to have as much consistency and normalcy as normal childhood allowed. The only time you all traveled was when Rami’s job took him away from home longer than a month, and that was because he always insisted that he hated being away for so long. He used to just travel back and forth, but that became incredibly taxing on him, after the first couple of times, it was decided that travelling as a family unit was for the best.
The kids still got to see various parts of the world, and he always made it a learning adventure. Learning about different cultures, food, history, and languages. 
The adventure at the zoo was only supposed to take somewhere between 60-90 minutes, but of course, the twins and their never ending curiosity made the whole evening end up lasting about two and a half hours. By the time you were all heading back to the car all the kids were definitely exhausted and ready for bed. 
You barely made it out of the parking lot of the zoo and all four kids were out cold. 
You and Rami just smiled at each other, and high-fived, another successful family adventure for the books.

A Happy Birthday Indeed
Johnny Martin - Band of Brothers
THIS IS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR THE LOVELY AND AMAZING @warmommy WHOM I LOVE SOOOO MUCH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RACHEL! 29 NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD, BABE ;) 
Warnings: ***SEXY TIME***
Tag List: @warmommy @gottapenny @croatianbagudna @wexhappyxfew @scissorsfordoc @curraheev @mayhem24-7forever @one-who-hunts-eagles @bandofmarvels @i-am-a-lost-girl16 @wildwilliamguarnere @majwinters @theonetryingtolive @higgles123 @those-dusty-jump-wings @medievalfangirl
Tumblr media
With a box full of rations that you were supposed to be taking to the kitchen in your arms, you jumped from the sidewalk and onto the grass when you heard the familiar sound of stampeding footfalls behind you. Moments later, Easy Company jogged past; dressed in their PT gear with looks of exhaustion and frustration on their faces, it was obvious they were heading to run Currahee yet again. 
If there was one company at Toccoa that got it the worst, it was without a doubt Easy. Their Captain, Sobel, was an absolute jackass and on more than one occasion you had witnessed him handing out tasks and punishments for no other reason than to fuck with the men. 
“Have fun, boys.” you waved as you waited for them to pass. Shifting the box into one arm and letting it rest on your hip, you kept your eyes peeled for the one trooper you knew you wanted to give a very special and personal hello to. 
Bringing up the rear, Johnny Martin spotted you and his face lit up. With a quick check to make sure none of the other guys were watching, he jumped from the path as well and pulled you back between the two nearest buildings so the two of you were out of sight. 
Martin couldn’t risk the other Paratroopers knowing that he did indeed have a soft side. As far as they knew, he had never smiled once in his entire life. You knew differently, however. 
Letting out a small, surprised shriek, you dropped the box of rations to the ground as the man pinned you against the exterior of one of the wooden barracks and pressed a soft kiss to your lips. “Happy birthday,” Martin whispered, his face dawning a mischevious smirk all the while.
Your eyes widened slightly and you cocked a single brow. “How did you know it was my birthday today? I never told you.” you let out a small chuckle. “Did you read my file or something?”
“Nope.” Martin was still sporting his smirk. “I cannot reveal my sources though.”
You rolled your eyes playfully. “Of course you can’t. That would make it too easy for me. Anyway, we don’t have to make a big deal about it. I’m not really a birthday person.”
Knowing he only had a few more minutes before someone noticed he was missing, Martin hooked your waistband with his fingers and yanked you flush against himself. “Well, maybe I’m a birthday person.” he began to pepper your neck with quick, open-mouthed kisses. “When I’m done with this fucking run we are gonna celebrate.”
“Okay,” you felt the agreement slip from your lips without even thinking about it. Martin knew how to make you putty in his hands in mere seconds, and that moment was no different. 
“Okay,” he echoed before letting you go and beginning to walk off.
“Wait,” you called to him before he could leave, your eyes narrowing at him as you licked your bottom lip. “If you’re gonna find me later, make sure you’re wearing the PT gear. I find the short shorts extremely sexy.”
Martin let out a small laugh and shrugged. “Whatever you want, babe. It’s your birthday.”
                 __________________________________________
An hour or so later you found yourself in the kitchen. After dropping off the box of rations you had found that the cabinets had been left in a mess and had decided to stick around for a while to clean them out. 
You weren’t sure how long it would be until Martin was finished with his day, but the sun was already beginning to set so you figured he would be looking for you soon; you just hoped he thought to look for you in the kitchen. 
Thankfully, your hopes were fulfilled because about ten minutes later the back door of the kitchen that was mainly used for delivery men and kitchen staff flew open. A gust of the cool evening breeze drifted into the room, and with it, Martin. 
Still dressed in his PT gear, just as you had requested, and practically dripping with sweat, Martin stormed over to you with a look of lust and determination on his face. 
“You look like-” you started, but before you could even finish your sentence, Martin captured your face in his rough hands and kissed you hard. 
Before you knew it, your lower back was pressing into the edge of the counter and you were snaking your arms around the hot and sweaty man’s neck. “Happy birthday, gorgeous,” he muttered into your mouth before backing away a step or two and pulling something out of his pocket. 
Presenting the small, rectangular box to you with a hopeful smile on his face, Martin panted hard, obviously still tired from whatever Sobel had put them through. “I hope you like it,” he told you.
Taking the box from him, you flipped it open and immediately gasped. Your free hand flew to your chest to grasp at the area over your heart as you stared down at the beautiful, glimmering necklace that sat inside the black box. “Johnny.” you had to pause for a second to find your words again. “This…this is beautiful. Thank you.”
“It’s okay?” he asked. 
“It’s more than okay.” you smiled wide, a sudden realization wiping it from your face moments later. “Oh, but this must have cost a small fortune. I-I can’t accept this. This is too much.”
You closed the box and tried to hand it back, but Martin refused to take it. “No, no.” he pushed it back to you. “I want you to have it, really. Happy birthday.”
“Martin-” you started to feel guilty about the extravagant gift. 
“Y/N.” Martin opened the box in your hands and plucked the necklace out before spinning you around. “I knew what I was doing when I bought this for you.” he began to put the necklace on you, the cool metal making you shiver as it brushed against your neck; Martin’s fingers have much of the same effect. “You’re not some temporary thing for me.” he secured the necklace around your neck before pressing a kiss to your shoulder. “I plan on spending many more birthdays with you where I will shower you with gifts just like this.”
Turning back around, you glanced down at the jewelry before meeting Martin’s gaze. “I love it.” you could feel your heart bursting at the seams. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.” he took the empty box from your hands before tossing it onto the counter behind you, his eyes suddenly darkening. “Now, it’s time for your second gift.”
“Second gift?” you questioned.
“Yes.” Martin nodded. “It will require something first, though.”
“What would that be?”
“You to be wearing nothing but that necklace.”
Stalking towards you, Martin reached for the hem of your shirt before pulling it over your head and throwing it to the floor. Once your skin was exposed his mouth went right to the top of your breasts while his hands moved to work on the clasp of your bra. 
Letting your head fall back slightly, you let out an airy moan that turned into a sharp gasp when his tongue flickered over your already hard nipples. As his mouth worked on your breasts, Martin’s hands relocated to your ass, giving the pliable flesh a squeeze before picking you up and placing you on top of the counter. 
Martin’s eyes drifted up to look at you while he worked his mouth down your stomach. With one hand steadying yourself and the other in his hair, you watched the man before you intently as he left saliva trails all over your body. 
Sensing what was about to happen next, you kicked your boots off and let them tumble to the kitchen floor below you. 
Fingers hooking your waistband, much like they had done earlier that day, Martin yanked your pants and panties down your legs in one quick motion, discarding them on the floor just like he had done previously with your shirt and bra. 
Then, just like he had wanted, you were in nothing but the necklace that he had gifted you. “I think you should be like this always.” he bent down, his arms hooking around your legs and pulling you to the edge of the counter as he started kissing and nipping his way up your inner thighs. 
“I think you should be like this always.” you retorted in between ragged breaths, thoroughly enjoying the sight of him between your legs. 
Martin didn’t speak but instead decided to move up and lick a single stripe between your folds as a response. Gripping hard onto the edge of the counter, you had to bite down on your tongue to stifle the cry that nearly escaped. 
“John,” you warned him, fully aware that he knew what he was doing to you.
Lifting his head, he looked up at you with his best impression of puppy-dog eyes. “What? Should I stop?”
“No…” you answered.
His expression switched back to devious in an instant. “Didn’t think so.” he dipped his head back down and captured your clit between his teeth lightly, flicking his tongue over it again and again. 
Throwing your head back once more, you smacked your skull into the cabinets by accident, but you couldn’t even feel the pain because the pleasure was so overwhelming. “Shit!” you cursed anyway as a force of habit. 
“Shhh!” Martin spoke into your core, the vibrations of his voice sending waves of euphoria through your body. 
Just as the familiar sensation began to build inside of you in the pit of your stomach, Martin stood up straight again, drawing a whimper out of you due to the loss of contact. 
“Don’t worry, Doll.” he began to untie the drawstring of his shorts. “We’re nowhere near done yet.”
Dropping his pants and boxers, Martin kicked them into the quickly building pile of clothes before wrapping a hand around his already stiff member. With his free hand, he stuck two fingers into his mouth — his eyes never leaving yours — and then approached you. As soon as those two fingers pushed their way between your folds and inside of you, you had to throw your palm over your mouth to keep from being too loud. 
It really wouldn’t be a good thing for something passing by to hear you. Technically speaking, you weren’t really supposed to fuck in the kitchen, believe it or not. 
Martin’s hands worked tirelessly, one pumping his own length while the other pumped two fingers in and out of you. His skin was still shining from the sweat of running Currahee, but the sight of him in his PT shirt and nothing else and covered in sweat was something you couldn’t get enough of. 
“God, I’m gonna miss you so much when you go away,” you spoke softly, not able to trust your voice enough to speak any louder.
“Then I better make sure you have some really good memories of me.” he pulled his fingers from you suddenly. He didn’t leave you empty for long though, because before you could even complain about the absence of contact, he was standing between your legs and pushing his cock into you slowly, inch by inch. 
Feeling a shock course through your body, your hands moved to grab onto Martin’s biceps for stability. “Johnny.” your face was millimeters away from his. “Please,” you begged without even having to be asked. 
“Are you having a good birthday?” he stopped as soon as he was buried all the way inside of you and refused to move again until you answered.
You nodded, but that obviously wasn’t good enough. “Yes.” you finally spoke. “Yes, this has been the best birthday ever.”
“Good.” he smiled before closing the gap between your mouths. With your bottom lip trapped between his teeth, he grabbed onto your hips hard — his fingertips digging deep into your skin — and he began to fuck you just the way he knew you liked it; fast and rough. 
Allowing one hand to leave your side, Martin reached up and tangled his fingers into your hair, collecting a fistful of it so he could hold your head in place. While Martin pounded into you over and over again, his pace relentless, he made sure you looked him in the eyes the entire time. 
“Look at me, baby,” he ordered even though his tone was anything but aggressive. “Look me in the eyes while I fuck you.”
You did as he said, and within a matter of minutes, you could feel the pressure building up in your core again. “I’m getting close.” you encouraged him. “Please, don’t stop.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” he assured you. 
Grabbing your legs again, he lifted them both up so they were resting on his shoulders. In that new position, he was able to hit your G-spot every single time he entered you. 
Holding onto Martin for dear life, you let him fuck you into ecstasy. While you came, your body shaking with the tidal waves of pleasure that ran through your entire being, Martin reached his own high and buried his head in your neck. 
Biting down hard on your shoulder to muffle his grunts, he gave a few more sloppy thrusts before falling still, his breathing even more labored than it had been after his trip up and down Currahee. 
“Happy birthday.” he pressed a kiss over the teeth marks he had left. 
Glancing up at the clock on the wall, you took note of the time and smiled. “There are still three hours left of my birthday.” you hinted with a suggestive wiggle of your eyebrows. “Let’s put that good ‘ol Paratrooper stamina to the test, shall we?”
“God, I wish every day was your birthday.”

A Buncha Tag Games (and yet not all of them)
tagged by: @eggyukhei mwah
tagging: this is a LOT of games so i’ll only tag @atinyphobe @nsheetee and @veonjun for the SECOND (2nd) game. if they or anybody wants to do any of the other games, absolutely go for it and say i tagged you <3 i’d love to see what you guys say!! (also, tk if you felt like you wanted to answer my questions from the second game i’d be interested to see!)
One:
tell me the first song that made you stan your current fave group and why did your faves attract you so much?
ok SO the song that probably got me into rv 100% (also yes ik this blog is 99% nct but rv is my forever fave no question) was probably ice cream cake!! i had been a casual listener of many groups up until that point and had never really stanned anyone, but icc was so infectious i found myself watching it over and over. i had heard happiness and be natural before but hadn’t really listened too closely, so icc was the song that captured me. after that, dumb dumb only cemented my love for them more, and the red is still one of my favorite kpop albums to date. rv attracted me primarily because of their incredible vocals and their versatility in genres and concepts. i still get so excited wondering what they’ll tackle next!! they’re just soooo unique and have one of, if not the best discographies of any group. i cannot stress enough, I. Love. RV!! also they’re funny and gay so. anyway stream monster once it drops uwu
Two:
rule: answer the ten questions and write your own!
1. what is your favorite song that’s been released during quarantine? ooooo honestly??? probably something off of Sawayama. literally every song bangs so hard i highly recommend that album to anyone!! i can’t pick a favorite off it but who’s gonna save you now is awesome and xs is just,,, chef’s kiss
2. what is your greatest mishap when you tried cooking? (or something you’ve witnessed) one time, while making soup at my late grandmother’s house on her like gas stove, i put a lid on a pot and somehow that led the pot to be engulfed in flames. IN MY DEFENSE i was like 7, and i’m great at cooking/baking now
3. what’s your go-to outfit or article of clothing? oh i love a nice dress. they can be casual or formal, and you look like you put effort into your outfit except i didn’t because i didn’t have to match anything yo!!!! also shorts have trouble fitting me cause i’m a weird body type so dresses tend to be very comfy for me
4. what is your comfort food? am i allowed to say like all food??? eating in itself is comforting,,, that sounds depressing but also i just like eating yummy food. i guess i’d say like my dad’s fried rice?? its my fave and no one makes it like him soooo
5. what singular moment in your life would you like to relive? i couldn’t tell if this meant like, a good moment you want to re-experience or go back in time and redo a moment and fix it. it’s kind of a hard question so i might cop out and go with a bit of a silly answer: i want to relive the hi touch with astro...... i wanna look at rocky’s beautiful eyes and touch moonbin’s hand ok,,,,
6. what is your favorite line and/or character from a movie, show, or book? i got a bunch but a few off the top of my head are genie lo (the epic crush of genie lo), ty lee, suki (atla), klaus, and ben (umbrella academy) 
7. if you could only choose one ice cream flavor and pizza topping/style for the rest of your life, what would it be? ice cream flavor: this very specific one from a local store that is banana ice cream with strawberries and oreo mixed in. it is heaaaavenly. as for pizza topping, i love a breakfast type pizza with an egg on top and like sausage and stuff!!!
8. what is the worst injury you’ve ever had or witnessed? funny enough, i’ve actually gotten badly injured quite a few times, and always on the face!! god hates me. the worst was probably when i hit a metal bench with my face and it took a chunk out of my cheek. i still have the scar! as for “witnessed” i accidentally broke a grown man’s rib once as a child, so i guess that would count.
9. would you rather explore the unknown of space or the bottom of the ocean? oceaaaan!! i answered this in some other game, but i like how mysterious and yet close the ocean is. like proximity wise it’s so near, yet there’s an insane amount we know nothing about. that’s so frightening but so intriguing
10. if you could be any cartoon character, who would you be? my first thought was literally “kirby. eat fast” GOD my followers are gonna think i’m just a glutton and they’re not even gonna be wrong im dying. but uhh idk mulan or smth?
my questions:
what is your go-to feel good movie?
are you the type of person who’s indecisive about buying, or the type to impulse buy once you see something you like?
do you prefer chocolate-y or fruity candy?
what idol do you think is most similar to you? (not your bias necessarily)
do you have any silly dealbreakers? if so, what are they?
what do you do to unwind?

Seon Adventures Episode 10: “Family and Friends and Fond Farewells.”
Soooo, stuff happened last session, huh?
Coming right back from the heartwarming moment, of a group hug and concilatory pat, the party now must dispose of the elf wizard, Felaern Krissel,’s charred remains.
After a quick round up discussion, they come to the conclusion of weighing the body down into a nearby bog. Really, planning it out takes much longer than actually doing it.
With Luctan gearing himself up again and disguising himself, Belli has to wonder how the ring actually works, since once he puts it back on, he returns to the shaven human look , no peachfuzz on his face, no nothing. From what Luctan could guess, there is a specific recorded charm to it, but he is no magical expert, so he cannot be so sure.
They decide to leave town. But not at once. They first must make some appearances, look around, ask for a possible job opening or something. Look as little suspicious as they can.
Returning to Victrum, part of the party goes back to the Silver Hammer’s Inn, where they try to dissuade Gorruk from even an inkling of an idea that they may have done something to one of his tavern’s patrons.
There follows a lot of bluffing and headaching, faceplanting on the bar and groaning on the subject of shattered perspectives on people and heroes. And yet, somehow??? Luctan lives up to his chosen previous name and bluffs Gorruk into believing them (i.e. the DM was rolling low during the conversation).
A question comes up regarding the meaning of “suggar daddy”,and Gorruk just. Doesn’t answer the disguised tiefling.
With a successful negation of a disaster, the gang get some drinks and Luctan plays matchmaker for Mournimar and Gorruk, which leaves the half-orc man a-blushin’. Gorruk does show interest in a possible date. But Mournimar evidently was not in the right mindset to get together with the man, who’s customer he only recently saw on fire. But he does promiss to return eventually and have that date with the saddened and confused hunk of a man.
We also learn that Gorruk has had this bar for 4-5 years now, having it passed down to him by a man called Medive, who currently resides in Sa Doma, coincidentally, having opened a different establishment called the “Queen Nightingale”. Should the party meet him, they will be sure to tell the man that Gorruk and the Silver Hammer’s Inn are doing wonderfully.
Or. As a Nat 20 Deception Luctan put it: “ What do you mean, Gorruk? This place is a Palace. “
The party reunite with Samson, who had been cuddling up to Morgan, the Dire Wolf, during all this drama, non-the wiser of what had transpired. The lot of them get on the carriage and take off on a long road trip to Sa Doma, where Belli is to meet with Kit and her Brother.
And where Samson is to split from the party and fulfil his own, personal quest.
Night 1: 
As everyone gets to their sleeping time, Luctan finds himself having a dream. Feeling his hand get warm, due to an item he had collected about a month prior... And in his dreams, things occur.
Back in the waking world, Burk is the reigns holder as the others sleep. Rimefang happily at his side.
Felaern Krissel’s personal belongings:  89 gold pieces, 75 silver, expensive robes. Luctan holds onto these... for now.
On the second day of their travels, the highest perception people in the party notice something. A sign. Faded words spell “Love Shack, 50 miles away”.
There is not much discussion as the lot agree to follow the sign...
Along the way Belli helps Mournimar with his hair.
They reach the opening to an empty field with a small shack in the middle. As the tiefling two leave the carriage for the shack itself, everyone hears whooping and cheering coming from a carriage, coming close behind them. Lead by 3 horses, the carriage’s passangers  They’re dancing, singing, playing instruments and are all around having a good time.
The in-coming patrons look the party over:
- Like half the people wink at Mournimar
- barely few show interest for Belli.
- Luctan soaks in all of the attention once eyes fall on the “human” fighter.
- Amelia gets none of the spotlight, sadly, but Burk does get at least two people to show interest.
The enthusiasting group wave and gesture for The Cultbusters to come along. But Luck and Mournimar are way ahead of them as they are down right swaggering towards the entrance of the Love Shack.
“Stay away fools, ‘cause love rules at the Love Shack.”
Luctan rushes in, Mourni follows.
“IF you’re looking for fun, you’ve come for the right place.” A very funky tune is coming from the shack as the duo come on in.
This place is a hot spot for Ebriosus (Banned God of Forbidden Mortal Pleasures) worship . As well as for some of Fornas (God of Luck, Fate and Destiny)’ more lenient followers.
While the boys have their fun inside, Amelia and Belli keep to the carriage with the others...
Though Samson does eventually join in the shack, looking quite relaxed and blazed by the time he comes back with Luctan (wearing a Flower Crown) and Mournimar. Double thumbs up are thrown in the air. Friendship with Samson, acquired in the most weirdest of ways. High five between the tieflings.
And on that day, Luctan became a man (TM).
(There’s a green half orc, who yells “Eldritch Blaaaast” inside the Shack).
As the party takes off, Luctan blows an air kiss to the building. And a  half-elf dude catches his air kiss. Luctan swears to return one day. Maybe. Totally.
By the night of the 5th day, as the party is settling in for the night, around a campfire, they get joined by a wild looking woman, carrying three rabbits.
Thaks to Belli’s Zone of Truth, used with the woman’s consent, we learn that her name is Elouise and that she is a hunter, of sorts. She’s definitely not a serial killer or a cannibal. NO siree.
Not a townie, she is someone, who prefers life in the forest, as her appearance expresses, evidently.  Elouise is about as tall as Amelia. Ruffled hair. They introduce themselves and talk of Sa Doma. According to her, there’s a rampant problem with people of the trade. Something illegal? Criminals of all variety. Thieves, assassins, forgers, counterfitters.
As they go on in their talk, the party offers her a spot at their campfire. In exchange, and in grattitude, she prepares the rabbits and the party have a nice feast with this new friend, who they encourage to try the adventuring life out.
They discuss their journey so far and surprise Elouise with the tale of how they met a representation of Dyunificus; a golden stag. She eventually believes them (and Mourni gets the piss taken for giving away his gift from Dyunificus).
Shifts are taken during sleep. During Luctan’s, he takes the 75 silver pieces he had collected and Sleight of Hands them on Elouise’s person. Having decided not to let the opportunity of helping out someone, who was kind to them.
After Belli’s wonderful Breakfast making skills, the party and Elouise part ways. (AND WE LEARN OUT OF CHARACTER THAT SHE WAS A WEREWOLF! MY INNER TRAVIS WILLINGHAM IS SO DISAPPOINTED IN ME!)
“On the road again!”
About a week has passed since the Solstice festival. By now Luctan and Burk have spent some time training with each other. Sparring matches, working on strength and blade work. Or axe work, in Burk’s case.
They reach Baborum. The starting point of this whole journey that brought them together to begin with.
It is the Eve of The New Dawn (New Year’s Eve).
There is nostalgia in the air. It hasn’t been long, but they’ve accomplished so much since they met. And so much to come. 
In the sky, Mournimar can see them. There are many a constillations. Chuckling gnomes scurry about, doing their thing, everyone gathering i nthe center of the town and prepare for what comes next. 
There’s a brief thick silence as everyone stops speaking, before a flash of light, a crack , shimmer and fireworks. Purple, yellow and green. The sleepy eyed kids look in wonder.
“You’re doing alright, kids. You’re doing alright.” (Our DM)
As the fireworks are going off, Amelia checks for a child she had seen when they previously had been here. A boy, who’s father had passed. She sees him, with his mother. The boy sits atop the shoulders of a man, familiar to the mother, surely.
The boy is healing. For tonight, at least, he is happy.
And they are all content.
Belli makes eye contact with the tavern owners that capitalized on their capture of the cultist. Said tavernitestry to avoid eye contact with her. So much nostalgia in the air.
Samson learns from Luctan about the party’s start.
And that is the New Dawn celebration.
The morning of the 11th day, Kevin and Killer bring the carriage to Sa Doma, a massive city. FREAKING HUGE, OK?!
We make our entrance from the South-Western gate, passing by the evident buildings between the outside and the city walls. Temples, quite evident from the outside alone.
And when they go in... Half the party, all the boys at least, have certainly never been to a town like this before. So big. So thick. So filthy.
Pulling his hood up, Samson tells his fellows to keep an eye out for their stuff, lest pickpockets rob them blind.
They make their preparations and go on in. 
The others notice that this portion of the city is littered with Qorin and Embriosus symbols... Keeping an eye out, they can tell that shadyness is the norm. And anything outside of it, will catch attention. Like most of the party.
Goblins, Tieflings, Golliaths, Centaurs... Yeah. Burk is the “normal one” here.
Someone bumps into Belli as they go along. She receives a parchment from Kit. “The Lean peacock, north-east.”
They walk past some guard barracks, a dodgy looking tavern called “The scattered heart”, a guild hall for the DarkbBane Army. “The Brave Fighters standing against evil” and past the “Warmaster’s office”
There’s a city hall, currently being guarded by two almost identical tieflings. Luctan takes note of them. The male and female tieflings are red skinned, they have long black hair both. One has a figure, the female?! The male one’s got his arms folded and being way more macho than usual.
They pass through Peppery Pete’s, they spot the guild hall for the Lawyer’s Guild.
It is here, where they part with Samson. There are hugs, there are handshakes and there are salutes.
And there are finger gun genstures. Whatever a “gun” is, anyways. (We seriously question whether Luctan is The Fonz by this point, with his “Eyyyyy!”  routine).
Luctan offers Samson their services if trouble arrises.
The last place they pass by is “Liliana’s Bath house.”  (Jokes are made, as we wonder if it’s an actual bath house or just a kink thing).
They make it to the tavern. There’s a very elegantly painted bright bird. “The Lean peacock.” Anxiety is in the air. They can feel it. Hell, Belli and Mournimar embody it.
They scan the room and see Kit with the pink ribbon. A very inconspicuous looking redheaded half-elf. Sat next to her is a face they seem to recognize, but not sure where. (It’s Ficus. He looks similar to Belli. They are siblings after all.)
Ficus is a tattooed gray half-orc with red and blue tattoos on his person, a number of rings on his fingers and blue highlights in his darker shade of brown hair.
They recognize each other, Bellia and Ficus. They recognize each other.
Belli goes over to Kit and Ficus, being awkward, while the rest of the party go to the bar. Mournimar takes a seat nearby and just watches, willing to jump in the conversation if things go bad.
Kit smiles up, but she gives a half-glare, a negative emotion directed towards Ficus.  She gestures to Belli to sit. Ficus looks terrified.
“It’s nice to see you again, Kit.”  - Belli.
“It’s a fantastically tense surrounding, isn’t it?” - Kit.
“it’s certainly been a while. That was a bad start, that was a bad start. Oh God.” - Ficus.
As they talk, Kit, sitting beside Ficus, becomes something of an awkward intermediary
Tumblr media
I thought you were dead. We thought someone had kidnapped you in the middle of the night and you were dead.” - Belli speaks, her voice evident with a mix of emotions.
I tried to leave some kind of note. I don’t-I guess-“
“Yes, a rock and you think a note is a good thing to disappear with.”
“If they had known I was going to go, they wouldn’t have let me.”
“They did everything to try and find you. They never stopped looking. Why did you leave? You’re family and you just left?! Didn’t eeven say goodbye”
“I was scared. Is that so hard to believe?”
“I was scared and I never did what you did.”
“I didn’t want what they wanted me to be.”
“They didn’t want me as a son. They wanted someone lively and fun, someone who could play the instruments and I was not this.”
“We’re bards, Ficus.”
“I’m not.”
As they continue, Mournimar subtly moves closer, by a table. Luctan keeps his eyes on the other tiefling, giving him a look of pure “WTF-ery”.
Ficus didn’t want to be like them. He didn’t want to be a “clown”. He wanted to do something bigger than perform.
“There’s more to being a bard than performing and throwing glitter about.”
He wanted to be there, be at the front. And he did. He fought in the wa of years prior. And left. 
He admits he became a thief, after being pressed to answer, by Belli. “I’ve taken contracts to hurt-to kil people. I’ve killed people.”
It’s what the bands on his neck mean.
“If you were that desperate for money, why didn’t you go back home and ask for help?”
“Because they wouldn’t understand.“
Ficus wants to make amends. He’s hidden for too long and needs to see them again. He was selfish to leave, but couldn’t take it anymore and had to go.
And it is with this OOF. That Belli spills the beans on her own witnessed OOF.
On the story of how she found her parents frozen in stone, when returning with supplies to fix the carriage.
Ficus’ face goes through many negative emotions. But the superior one that bursts through like a damn dam is grief and sorrow as he starts to cry.
Belli’s had to do a lot of things to survive. She is angry with him. BUT!
As pissed as she is at Ficus, she still wants him in her life.  He is openly weeping. There is sadness in the air. Kit doesn’t know how to comfort people. She uses one of Belli’s hands and pats Ficus with it.
At this time, Mournimar joins the conversation.  Belli introduces Mournimar to Ficus. In a hell of a way. He’s better than Ficus. But Belli still loves him and doesn’t want to lose him.
Ficus immediatelly goes invisible, much to Belli’s frustration with her older brother.
From below the table, a small tabbycat hops on the table.  Mournimar pats it, but it feels like Ficus is petting it.  Belli demands he show himself again. And he does. He is a total mess.
Kit is panicking by this point, the poor Changeling, as she doesn’t know what to do. But she will see this through. For both Narahs’ sake, she must!
Mournimar tries to encourage Ficus, but man, it doesn’t go well for the drow born tiefling. Luctan has to pull him out of the conversation and scene itself, much to Mournimar’s dismay as he desperately wants to comfort the two half-orcs.
But ultimately, he submits and steps out, towards the  “Obnoxious Bee inn”, opposite of “The Lean Peacock”. As they leave, Burk hands Rimefang over to Mournimar for emotional support, (aww), while Amelia has not stopped drinking since the whole conversation started.
The poor Air Genasi has been stressed out beyond words.
The boys go in and look around the place, but don’t find anyone recognizable.
Mournimar drinks, while Luctan gives him a sober pep talk, giving him assurance that everything will turn out well with the Narahs. After all. They’re family.
Mournimar mentions a drow named Lazarus and Luctan seems to recognize that name... Strange.
Mournimar elaborates on his history with this person and why they’d evidently be in this town.
2 years prior to all this, Mournimar got in a relationship with a drow-elf named Lazarus. Tall guy, charming, very nice to him and they hit it off. He ended up distancing himself. Next thing he knew, he found him passed out, bloodied at a shrine to FUCKING POTENCIA, after he knew what she did to Mournimar...
“He had the balls to say “It wasn’t Potencia’s fault!”“
Once the older tiefling gets this off his chest, Luctan drops another pep talk. He may not be the brightest yarnball in the oven, but even he can see things from a certain perspective.
Mournimar sighs and is getting his composure back together.
Back with the Narahs.... Emotions are a bitch.
By now, Ficus starts to calm down.  “Well, where are they?”
Belli explains that she had left them at home.  Ficus has a lot to make up for and it may  take him the rest of his life to make up for it. 
Do you kind of understand, or was this all for nothing?”
They talk well and Ficus almost smiles. He elaborates that he’s had friends keep tabs on Belli, during her recent travels.
“Do you remember what today is?”Belli’s 17th Birthday
Ficus remembers, of course. And even has a present for Belli. A necklace container shaped box.
“Yes. You’re not completely hopeless as a brother, then.”  The Sibling bonding is exciting and cavity enducing as we learn about their past shenanigans, involving pools of water, mud pies and the like.
Kit asks if they’ll go to Keemas for Night Cap?
Ficus shares that he has a place, somewhere in town. But isn’t that good with words, the poor awkward half-orc.
(From their interaction, this player can only discern that Kit is Ficus’ Belli as Mournimar is Belli’s Ficus.)
The cat that Ficus has with him is, as he puts it, his Fae familiar. One very pettible boy named “Bumpkin”. Which surprises Belli, to say the least.
There are kazoo puns made and laughter is had between the siblings as they hug it out. They missed each other.
Belli proceeds to introduce her brother to her friends, startign with Amelia and Burk. Amelia is drunk, but constute enough to handle herself. She gets to meet Bumpkin, who’s form is that of a tabby cat.
Burk is not impressed with Ficus and lets the evidently scared half-orc know this fact. And he asks if Ficus threw a rock at him.  He makes sure to let Burk know that omeone else threw a rock at him. Ficus doesn’t want Burk to kick his teeth out.
Belli drops some truthbombs, while Ficus tries to explain that the necklace he got her can do the same thing that brought Bumpkin to the Material plane.
Belli basically gets to have her own familiar! Belli has a friend necklace, which she is very excited about. A very drunk Amelia points out the boys went to the other tavern and that’s where the gray half-orcs take to.
Amelia has an emotional breakdown. Existential crisis.
Amelia gets more Rum. Burk gets another Tequila slammer.
There is further sibling bonding as they head to the Bee inn. Talk of chair theft. So much chair theft. It’s wild.
Mournimar hasn’t drunken that much, thus he is but tipsy as the two enter. Via belli kicking the door in, to announce their presence.  Mourni freezes immediately. “Oh, Fuck!” He panicks.
But the situation looks much resolved, compared to earlier. very much resolved.
The two meet Ficus and shake his hand.
Luctan having to shake it in motions to where it looks like a normal one, countering th shiver the taller man has. He oozes that charisma in ways to calm down the male Narah, while Ficus apologizes to Mournimar.
The awkward handshake ensues between the awkward boys and Mournimar asks of Sa Doma.
“To summrise it politely, it’s a shithole.” There are lovely people here. The lady at the bathhouse is one of them.  Liliana is a lovely old lady. The bathhouse is nice. 
Mournimar asks about Lazarus  When he mentions the sword, Luctan just stares, his interest peacked.
Ficus hasn’t seen this guy. Nor heard of him. His surname is fairly common.
There are sex jokes that ensue. Yes, things have definitely gone to a good vibe again.
Ficus then proceeds to tell them about sights they could partake in, depending on their disposition. And on things to avoid.
There’s a battle axe and a half woman around. Don’t tangle with her.
A brewery.
He mentions The “Queen Nightingale”, Medive’s place, where he apparently gambles???
And, should they look for them, there are many a brothels.
There are temples and the like.
Belli mentions their meeting with Dyunficus. But Ficus doesn’t believe them.
Somehow. Someway the conversation leads them to Belli barring Ficus from having a “go” at Luctan. (Yes. In ;)  way).
Much to her bro’s dismay. Ficus finds Luctan attractive. That 15 charisma, man. It’s really something.
Should they be interested, there is a school of the arcane to look into for study.
At the temple of Keemas there’s some good shit that’s not exactly legal. (Light the previously mentioned stuff).
There’s a market and there are many a shops. Including a library/tavern mashup.
And should they look for it, there is a fight club. Around the corner, behind, if you come out a door and go straight past 3 buildings, there’s an open area, where fights occur occasionally. Something to share with Burk, definitely. 
After some accidental and “accidental” flirting with Ficus, the boys return Rimefang to Burk, having decided to go to that library tavern, afterwards.
Amelia, by this point, is pretty out of it. No barfing, but she does throw a glass across the room. Luctan decides to carry her to a room, tries to buy one and is told to take her out of the establishment.
So he goes back to the Bee’s inn and tries there, with better luck as the brunette half-elven woman running the bar points him to a storage closet, where Amelia can take a well deserved nap.
“Everyone’s a little fucked up.”  - The Half-Elven woman.
“Mood, sister.” - Luctan.
Ficus even lends her Bumpkin as a cuddle buddy.
Tumblr media
(YES, HE HAS A B! IT IS MY HEADCANON!)
As the boys leave, they agree they are horrible to Amelia, accidnetally as it is.
“This is our truth. We are horrible.”
And as the two head to the library, we reach an ending point.

I Hate You, I Love You
Note: Another great idea form @avengersrulez1536​! based on the song ‘I love you, I hate you.’ by Gnash- I was thinking a love triangle between the reader, Pan and Baelfire instead of the line ‘I'll never be her, it would be ‘never be him’. Baelfire has a crush on the reader but the reader and Pan are in a relationship so when Balfire prepares to leave he tells the the reader that he loves her but hates her but hates that he is in love with her and she doesn't know how to react but hates herself for letting Balfire fall for her and she gets upset then a cheesy moment between her and Pan and he lets her go :D
Note: So this is my first time trying to incorporate a song into the story so I apologise if this is nothing like what you were expecting. When the lyrics are in italics they are in Bae’s mind. The other ones are spoken out by him. I didn’t include all of them just the ones I felt would fit the story more. Again I am soooo sorry if this is terrible!
Reader x Pan x Baelfire
Words:1567
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: None of the GIFs are mine. All credit goes to their creators. Also the lyrics to the song are not mine <3
Tumblr media
Things on Neverland were amazing. In fact your time here had been something you could never have imagined up in your own mind. You were in love, head over heels as a matter of fact, and it wasn’t just with anyone, oh no, it was with the King of Neverland himself. Peter Pan. He could still be just as mean towards you as he was his boys, he had a reputation to keep after all, but at the end of the day his arms would always be wrapped around you lovingly. That was what mattered to you.
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for everyone that resided in the camp. Not that you or Pan would ever notice given the happiness you both felt.
Baelfire, or ‘Bae’ as you liked to call him, is one of the few Lost Boys you would consider your best friend and the reason why the place that had once been his dream come true had become a living nightmare was because he was in love......with you.
He was sat around the campfire, just as you all did on an evening when the catch of that day had been prepared and cooked, but he wasn’t his usual joyful self with the other boys. He had sat himself away from them so that his eyes could remain on you without the campfire obscuring his vision, well, it blocked his view of Pan (luckily) but not of you.
Feeling used But I'm Still missing you And I can't See the end of this.
Even when darkness had enveloped the island and the only source of light was from the flickering flames of the fire he could still see how much your eyes sparkled. The life inside of them was the most beautiful thing this island had to offer and he couldn’t get enough of it. He could quite happily drown in them.
But then Pan, as always, quickly made his way into his line of sight as he leaned forward and captured your lips with his. The lips that Bae was so desperate to taste and yet would never get. Why would you ever choose a Lost Boy over the King Of Neverland?
Just wanna feel your kiss Against my lips And now all this time Is passing by But I still can't seem to tell you why It hurts me every time I see you Realize how much I need you.
He couldn’t do this anymore. Night after night it was the same thing. You would all sit around and eat while Pan had his hands all over you, touching every inch of you that he could, and it knotted his stomach to the point where he really did think he was going to be sick. He had never experienced heartbreak before but he was beginning to think that this is how it must have felt.
Love should have been simpler. There should have been no grey area. Yet here he was looking at the very thing that was making his feelings more complicated than they should have been.
The person he had once had the utmost respect towards was now someone he just wanted to disappear. But he knew he would never be able to achieve such a feat and so he stood himself up from the fallen log he had been sat on and he headed into the forest and away from the laughter of the camp.
Pan’s lips broke away from yours at that moment and when you saw something moving in the corner of your eye you instinctively turned to see what it was and when you saw Bae disappearing into the darkness of the jungle your brows furrowed in confusion. Where was he going at this time? You had never known him to wander off like that.
“I’ll....I’ll be right back. Why don’t you play some of that beautiful music of yours for the boys until I get back?”
He was about to protest, not wanting you to leave his side, but the soft kiss you placed onto his cheek was enough to stop him from saying any more and before he tried to again you were gone. Following Bae in the direction you had seen him going. There was only one place this path led to which was good in the sense that you wouldn’t need to worry about getting lost or not being able to find him; however, there was only really one reason anyone went to the shores of the island.
“Bae?”
You pulled the last overgrown branch out of your way and felt the soft grains of sand wrap around your bare feet as you walked towards him. He was stood so close to the water that each time a small wave rolled in the water would cover his feet for a few brief moments. Even though you knew he had heard you he didn’t turn to face you when he spoke.
“[y/n] go away. I’m not in the mood.”
There was no feeling to the words that he spoke, They were just cold and flat and you simply refused to listen to them. He knew you well enough by now to know that you were quite the stubborn little creature when you wanted to be.
“Well you’re just going to have to be in the mood. You have been acting strangely for weeks now, you’re not yourself.....what is going on?”
By the time you had spoken the last word you had closed the gap between the two of you and the first thing you did was place your hand onto his shoulder in a comforting gesture. One that you had been convinced was a perfectly innocent thing to do but just seconds after your hand connected with his shoulder he went off like you had just pulled a pin out of a grenade.
“I hate you! I love you! I....I hate that I love you.....” You had frozen to the spot at this point, in shock from what he had just admitted, but it was clear that he wasn’t finished although his initial anger and his sheer nerves had managed to calm down a little as he continued. “Don’t want to but I can’t put nobody else above you.”
Tumblr media
You couldn’t have been hearing this right. He loved you? You were best friends and there had never been any moments when you had thought there was a possibility for something more. You had always loved Pan.....you always would.....and yet now you could feel your own heart aching as you realise that you had missed the signs from your friend and he was now declaring his love to you.
This whole time you and Pan had been flaunting your love for one another while Bae looked on in pain. Already the tears were rolling down your cheeks as you tried to get close to him again. You wanted to hold him, to make him know that everything would be okay, to tell him how sorry you were. The last thing you wanted was for your friend to be hurting.
“Bae I-“
A finger pressed up against your lips cut your words off as Bae stepped closer to you and now looked at you rather than frantically pacing around on the sands of the shore. His free hand reached up to tuck a stray strand of your hair back behind your ear. His voice now no louder than a hushed whisper.
“I hate that I want you because you want him. You need him.....and I will never be him.”
“[y/n]! [y/n]! There you are!”
Clearly the boys had decided to raid the stash of rum they had stolen from Hook and his crew that day because a drunk Pan had stumbled his way over to where both you and Bae were stood, causing your friend’s touch to leave you completely as he stepped away and tore his gaze from the sight of you.
“I’ve been missing you. I...I want to dance with the most beautiful thing on this island.”
His arms immediately wrapped around your waist and despite the serious tension still hanging in the air around you the laugh escaped your lips before you could stop it as you just went along with it and let him dance with you. His lips constantly showered your neck with kisses and you allowed him to do it as you manoeuvred him to a position where he had his back to Bae but you were able to look right at him.
You could just pick out something above your friend, hovering almost in a menacing manner, and when it dawned on you that is was the Shadow your eyes widen. No. Don’t do it.
“I’m letting you go [y/n]. Pan needs you more than you know.”
You couldn’t stop him. You wanted to, in fact you wanted to run over to him screaming for him to stay, but Pan’s grip on you was too tight and so you watched helplessly as the Shadow lifted him into the air and took him out of your life.
“I love you [y/n].”
Pan’s words were bittersweet for you, having just witnessed your best friend choosing to leave Neverland, but a small smile managed to make its way onto your face as you nuzzled your face into his neck and muttered your response back to him.
“I love you too.”
