Sometimes Raymond was a little boring. Not in any insulting way, only that he tended to be more stern and strict, and he always had to have things in control. It was probably something about being a timekeeper. That’s how they all were, at least the one’s you’ve met. But with Ray it was a little different, more . . . old. You didn’t know how to describe it. He wasn’t out of touch with anything, but he just had that sense of dullness in his personality that he carried around with him like a raincloud.
It wasn’t physical or anything — sex was great, and the stunts he did when he was out policing the timezones proved he was in great shape. He was twenty-five, after all, everyone nowadays was. But he was fifty or something mentally (what age exactly, you didn’t know, and didn’t dare ask). 
You loved him, so it wasn’t a major problem, but you did have to admit, sometimes you wished he would so something unprovoked, unpredictable, hot.
Deciding to take matters into your own hands (literally), your reached over and placed your hand on his thigh. Raymond noticed, but focused his attention on driving, not making any move to push you away. It wasn’t until you crept closer to his crotch did he say something about your behavior. 
“What are you doing?” he asked sternly. He glared at you, something you learned not to take personally. 
“Nothing.” You shrugged innocently. “Just tryna have some fun.”
Your fingers brushed over his crotch.
Keeping one hand on the steering wheel he took off the other and grabbed your wrist.
“Stop that,” he growled. “Can’t you see I’m driving?”
“Yeah. That’s why it’s fun.”
You gave Ray’s cock a little squeeze through the fabric and he let out a little gasp, one you wouldn't be able to hear unless you were listening for it.
To your surprise, he didn’t say anything after that. He just stared dead ahead at the road, not giving you any indication he wanted you to stop.
So you didn’t. You continued to tease him thrugh the fabric, waiting for him to get hard, and when he finally did, you unzipped the zipper and pulled his hard length out.
You caught your boyfriend glancing at the side of the roads, looking out for other cars. But it was night and no one was there, like they could see anything in the darkness even if they were. 
“Relax. No one’s gonna see us,” you reassured him.
“I know that,” Ray breathed out as you rubbed his precum all over the tip of his cock. He shuffled a little in his seat. “Are you really going to do this? Now?”
“Do you want me to stop?” you asked, halting your hand movements.
“. . . No.”
“Say the magic word,” you teased with a grin.
He sighed, not wanting to prolonge the foreplay. “Please?”
“Please what?”
“Touch me,” he said, exasperated. 
“Good boy,” you said, giving him a long stroke.
He threw his head back, in annoyance or pleasure, you could not tell. He always denied it, but you knew he liked it when you called him your ‘good boy’.
“Go slow,” he pleaded, when you picked up the pace.
You chuckled. “Loosen up, Ray.”
You and Ray tightened your grips, yours on his cock, pumping with precision, and his on the steering wheel, desperately tyring to stay in control. 
You took your hand off for a brief moment, prompting Ray to glance over at you, only for his breathing to hitch in his throat when he saw you lean over spit on his cock, resuming your pumping.
“Fuck,” he moaned. “Yeah, that’s good.”
You fondled his balls, giving them a little pinch. He squirmed in his seat.
“Don’t move,” you demanded, taking off your seatbelt to fit his entire length in your mouth. 
The car swerved a little, but it immediately got back on track.
You gagged, but kept yourself down for a bit, before getting up for some air.
Ray groaned loudly. “Oh, don’t do that, I can’t focus.”
You both knew that he could easily push you away. He was stronger than you, but his desire was getting in the way of reason, and all he wanted to do was relax in the car seat, you here to give him a blow job like there wasn’t anything else the mattered.
You ignored his words, continuing to suck of his cock, hollowing your cheeks out and timing your breaths so you didn’t choke as much. You bobbed your head up and down, revelling in the way he wriggled away from you. 
Ray had enough, and pulled the car over to the side of the road, parking it on some grass. He stopped the engine and spread his legs, relaxing his arm on your back.
He came soon after with a whine. You swallowed his seed, making a disgusting gulping sound. 
You took the paper wipes from the backseat and wiped his cum off your face, leaving his now soft cock out of his pants. He tried to put it back in but you stopped him, wanting a nice view of his length. You put on your seatbelt and playfully slapped his thigh.
“Well? I wanna get home. Start driving.”

One of your favorite lessons growing up was the time your class learned about plants. You and your fellow classmates all sat at your desk with a little pot of soil to call your own. It didn't mean much to you at first, but as the class went on and the teacher her lesson it began to sink in.
This was life.
You remember going starry eyed as she pressed the smallest little seed into the dirt and poured a little water onto it. This woman had introduced you to something so simple yet so beautiful. How a little sunlight and a little bit of water could grow into something so gorgeous. So, you dedicated the next few months to that little seed. Staying awake late at night whispering secrets to it like an old friend, making sure it was nice and watered.
Needless to say, you cried when your little plant didn't sprout as quickly as everyone else's. You didn't understand what you were doing wrong. Your teacher tried to reassure you that you were doing fine.
Your name falls from her lips as she helps you wipe the tears from your eyes. "You're not doing anything wrong. Plants can be complicated. Some take a little longer than others but there's nothing wrong with them or with what you're doing!"
At the time she was talking about the plant, but as you got older the words stuck with you. And maybe she really was just talking about the little seed, but as you got older it got harder to not apply it to people.
You watched as people took to their own colors, growing and being shaped by the world around you. Some grew thorns, others grew branches. Most planted their roots, souls intertwined with the small town of South Park.
So why did it feel like you were the only one still in the ground, barely sprouting?
You're not doing anything wrong.
God, you wish you could believe her.
But it was hard when you were so overwhelmed with comparing yourself to the others. You weren't athletic like Stan or Red. You weren't top of your class like Kyle or Wendy. You didn't have the charm of Jimmy or Nichole. No, you were just you. What was special about you?
Kenny McCormick could. The blond could write a book on all the things that made you special. Pages filled with how kind you were, how you lit up every room you walked in even if you didn't realize it. If he was a smarter man, he'd probably find a way to compare you to some sunrise. Something beautiful!
Instead, all he can come up with is a dandelion. You may not be the most exotic plant in a flowerbed, but you were beautiful. Like dandelions you were everywhere to him. Under the gentle rays of the sun, pushing through the cracks of the sidewalk; brightening up his day. He saw you on the side of the road waving to him with a gentle sway, yellow petals beckoning him over. He saw the way you stretched up and up past the others eventually changing to those puffy little white balls.
But he's not a smart man, and on top of that he had a reputation. Kenny loved people, he loved that people loved. He loved his three asshole friends; he loved them more than they deserved. He loved his sister, the best thing to ever come from his parents, and that included him. Sometimes that love came out a little too much, he just had so much of it to give. Because like you, Kenny never really felt like he was good enough.
In a world of soulmates, love was hard. If Kenny caught ink on skin that seemed to change, or paragraphs of words on people's arms, he knew that his love would just be temporary for them. He often wondered if you had anything like that. Maybe a tattoo somewhere on your body that would indicate who your soul was bound to. The thought would keep him up at night because no matter how many times he checked; Kenny never saw ink. Never saw pictures or words with someone's thoughts. Stan and Kyle always were the lucky ones.
Lucky people don't lie in a dirty alley with their sides split open. Lucky people don't have to clench their sides to try to stop their blood from slipping out of them.
How could he be so careless? He'd done this song and dance for years now, ever since he was old enough to throw a fist and really make it hurt. Some nights it felt like this was the only thing he was good at, taking a hit and getting back up. Kenny McCormick was the world's punching bag.
He closes his eyes for a moment, and God it felt so good. To just let his eyes rest for a moment, he's been running on Monday's sleep, and it was fucking Wednesday. A small part of him thought about just letting sleep take him, how would it be different than his room?
Oh, but Karen.
And those guys trying to mug that poor woman, yeah, they were still a thing.
Kenn- no Mysterion pulls himself to his feet, the long purple cape hides his shaky legs. Yeah, Kenny might be the world's punching bag, but Mysterion fucking hits back. The dark purple gloves, now stained with a dark red, press into the wound trying to staunch the flow. His vision was getting dizzy, but he wasn't seeing black yet. He still had time before he'd wake up in bed again. Just enough time to break a few bones.
Meanwhile across town you sat in the living room of your small apartment, whatever YouTube video playing in the background. A nice little book rests in your hand, it was a quiet night for you. Most of them were as your apartment was just you and your little cat, the chunky little lady rest by your feet happily purring, just content to be around you. Well, you, your cat, and your plants. Right beside you were pots filled with various plants you'd grown over the years. From seasonal flowers to three different shaped bonsai trees, to various colored succulents, and finally your favorite Orchid. The beautiful purple flower had bloomed recently, and it was your pride and joy.
Everything was perfect, no stress about having to be better than you are. No deadlines or classes that made you feel dumb. No obligation to socialize and try to entertain people you didn't exactly call friend. That is until the sharp pain in your side made you scream out. Your cat jumping away from you and cowering on the other side of the couch, she looks terrified.
Right along your side, just below your rib, felt like it was being ripped apart. Like someone was taking their nails and pulling your skin apart. You lift your shirt and stare down in horror, as bright red spider lilies sprout from your skin. Thick green stalks wrap around each other and soon the crimson petals sprout out, it would be gorgeous if it wasn't in your skin. You feel like you're about to pass out, the sudden act was enough to make your body start shaking.
"W-What the- what the hell?!" You want to scream, want to cry out but all that comes out is a hushed whisper.
Luckily the pain stopped as soon as the flower finished blooming, the pain dulled down to a low buzzing around your skin. Your hands were shaking as your fingertips traced the flowers, unable to comprehend what was really happening. You blink, and then you blink again and again. They're still there and the velvet petals under your fingers were real.
Impulsively you moved the flowers apart until you found the base of the stem, there you saw how your skin meld together perfectly with the plant. It was like they were always a part of it. With a deep breath you grab the plant by the stem and pull. The pain it shoots through your body is unlike anything you've ever felt before, but it offers no resistance as it comes out of your body.
You squeeze your eyes expecting blood or at least a wound, but you don't feel your skin rip open. Instead, it feels like something has slipped from your skin, like pulling string through a closed fist. Through heavy breathing you open your eyes, and you felt your heart start to settle, the beautiful flowers were now tightly clenched in your fist roots and all. On closer inspection they had little drops of water on the petals as if they had just been watered. It was only then you realized you had been crying.
You couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, tossing and turning as your hand kept coming up to your sides. The area was numb, it didn't hurt but you couldn't get the image out of your head. It made your skin crawl and the shiver down your spine felt sharp, sharp enough to make your back arch. As the morning sun greeted you letting you know it was time to get up and start the day, the first thing to greet you were the spider lilies sitting next to you. You don't know why you didn't just throw them away, get rid of them and never think about it again, but they really did look so beautiful.
Now they were sitting on your nightstand next to the window, dancing back and forth as the little draft that entered your apartment led them in a waltz. As you pull back the blankets and your feet hit the cold floor of your apartment, your fists clench around the blankets as you stare down in horror.
Your knuckles were covered in poppies, little sprouts pushing in between the dips of your fingers. On your right hand they were much larger blooms and more prominent on the knuckle itself. You hiss at the way it parts your skin, much less clean than the spider lilies were. The poppies wiggle a bit making room as another one pushes up and breaks your skin. This time there is a little blood, not more than a paper cut would give you but still it was alarming.
Rushing to your bathroom you run your hand under the water, the fast-running water slamming down on the little red petals. Another red flower. Another flower meaning pain or death. You're much more careful this time, gently plucking the poppies up from your skin and placing them to the side on the wet counter. They come up just like flowers last night, with ease and when you inspect your knuckles there's nothing as if it was never there.
"Guess I'll get a pot for you guys..." You mutter to the flowers, rubbing your hand over your knuckles.
There was a part of you that thought about emailing your professor as to why you wouldn't be coming to class, but what would you even say?
Good morning Professor,
I won't be able to attend class today, I am not feeling well, and I was wondering if I could get the notes for today's class from you. I sincerely apologize and hope that I will recover soon.
Good morning Professor,
I won't be attending class today as I had a family emergency come up! I hope you understand, and I will be in class when everything settles down.
Hey Professor,
I've got fucking flowers growing out of my fucking skin! You know anything about that?!
You let out a loud groan and lean forward on your desk, pushing your laptop to the side. Your sweet little roommate jumps up and meows at you in response, she nudges her head against yours and puts her paw on your cheek. A small attempt to make you feel better, she's trying. When you don't move, she meows again only louder this time, her head smacking into yours.
"Ow! Okay! I know I can't just sit here all day." She looks at you when you lean up and snap back.
She sits all prim and proper as you get up from your seat, she watches as you pace around the room and gather everything you need for the day. When she meows again you stop and look back at her, conversations with your cat weren't uncommon some days it felt like she was the only one you could really talk to. It was sad but it was better than spending nights alone talking to your plants.
"Look, I've got to go. I'm paying for the stupid classes I might as well just go. I just have to hope that whatever happened last night, doesn't happen again!" You grab your coat and throw it over your arm, giving her one last look. "Maybe I can talk to someone there? Maybe someone knows what this is, until then you're in charge of the house! No eating the plants while I'm gone!"
When she doesn't meow back at you, you narrow your eyes at her in suspicion. "I'm serious!" She jumps off your desk and walks over to the couch where she rolls on her back. Not a care in the world.
Curse that cat and her adorable behavior. You've got no choice but to trust that she'll behave. On your way out you grab your keys and make your way down the steps of your little home. Days where it was nice and sunny out made you happy you live so close to your college campus, other days it was a drag to get out of bed.
The rest of the day went by quietly, just how you like it. You couldn't help but fidget in your seat out of fear of spontaneous flower growth. What if a really large plant came out of your back while you were sitting in front of someone? If it was like the spider lilies last night, you'd most definitely scream out in pain and that would be embarrassing. Once class let out you were the first one out of your seat, practically bolting to the door.
This was getting to be too much, you had to find someone to talk to about this. The anxiety of when it would happen again was overwhelming. As you pass the little library you stop and check the inside, maybe you didn't have to talk to anyone about this. Maybe it would be in a book or at the very least you could try googling it.
As you walk into the quiet little domain you spot a few other students standing around talking to one another. Some sitting by the common tables, others tapping away on the public computers. Just as you're about to make a beeline for one of the computers tucked away in the corner, a soft voice stops you almost making you leap out of your skin.
"Hey, are you okay? Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" The voice was so gentle and soft, you turned to see Heidi Turner smiling at you.
Heidi Turner was one of the sweetest people in the school, she went through leaps and bounds to be a better person after high school. Most days she keeps herself either in the library offering to tutor other students, or volunteering around town in various ways. She was always kind to you, and you always wanted to call her a friend but something stopped you. Even though she was a sweet girl, that fear of bothering her was still there.
"Oh um...it's okay! Really, I was just uh...going to use one of the computers. Is that okay? Am I allowed?" God, you want to find a hole to crawl into and just die.
"Of course you can! I was actually coming over to see if I could help you find something, but it looks like you've got it all figured out!" She beams up at you with a little giggle.
You think for a moment, if you had to tell anyone about the situation you were in Heidi was a good person to tell. She wouldn't go around telling other people and it wasn't like you had anyone else to really confide in. So, you take a deep breath and go to stop her from walking away. "Ac-Actually Heidi, um could you help me with something? Real quick."
Heidi stops and turns back to you; she cocks her head when she sees the nervous look in your eyes. Now she looks worried, not scared you think but concerned. She walks closer to you and gestures for you to follow her towards the computer, when the two of you are far enough away from the other students she whispers.
"I had a feeling you were looking for a friend, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."
A friend? She thought you guys were friends? That alone was enough to make you relax a little and let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. You rub your arms a little and look behind you before responding.
"I'm really freaked out Heidi and I don't know how to talk about it."
"Hey, it's okay. Take it slow, I'm right here. Is someone hurting you?"
Your eyes widen at that, and you quickly shake your head at her. "What? O-Oh no no! It's not someone it's- well it's something?" When she looks at you confused, you groan and shake your head. "I mean something happened last night and it's really freaking me out!"
You tell her the events that transpired last night, avoiding the gruesome details as to not freak her out. You expect her to call you crazy or to laugh in your face, but she doesn't.
No, instead she stands there and nods along with you. Even offering her hand to you to take when you start to tear up, the fear of it happening again came crashing down mid-story. She offers you a gentle smile, rubbing your back as you try to calm down.
"It sounds like a soulmate thing." You rub your eyes at her as she speaks, trying to get the tears spilling from your eyes out.
"A... soulmate thing? But why now, and why this?"
"It takes some people a little longer before their soulmate signs trigger. I run a support group for people who run into theirs a little late, or for people who don't have any at all." Heidi says it as if it's the most normal thing in the world to her.
You stare at her in awe for a little while, clinging on to every word with such desperation. She was like an angel, a guardian angel telling you there was nothing to worry about and that this was normal.
"As for why your trigger is this...I don't know. Triggers manifest differently for each person, there's a lot of studies on soulmates. I'm sure someone at the school is much smarter than I could tell you." She pauses for a moment and her eyes light up with excitement. "But hey! This means you've got a soulmate, I'm just sorry it's so painful for you!"
On the other side of the library Kenny was lying on one of the little bean bags chairs the school threw in for comfort. Tucked away in some corner, his plan was to take a little nap in. Somewhere where he knew his friends wouldn't come looking for him, well Kyle might but he'd never thought to find Kenny here. But when you walked in with that look of panic on your face he sat right up, like he had just gotten a full eight hours of sleep.
Why did you look so terrified? What was going on? Did you need someone? You were looking around the library like you were being followed.
These thoughts began pounding at the front of his mind and just as he was about to stand up and walk over to you, Heidi beat him to it. He couldn't make out everything you were saying, but from the way you whispered to the smaller brunette it sounded serious. His lavender eyes follow you into the other corner of the library, the one right across from him.
He should look away; he should mind his own business and try to shut out your conversation. But he can't help it, he knows it's rude, but he can't get the image of your scared face out of his head. So, he closes his eyes and tries to hone in on your conversation with Heidi. It takes everything in his power not to get lost in the way you speak; your voice was so soothing. Kenny imagined it was what honey melting in tea would sound like if it had a voice.
That's when the topic of soulmates came up. He jolts up again and his eyes widen over at you as you describe the flowers sprouting from your skin. The hands resting in his orange patchy parka shuffle over to the wound on his side, or at least where it was. Like every time he died, he'd wake up with his body fully healed with no scars or signs of his life being taken from him.
However, if he didn't die his body would keep the scratches and little wounds on his body. Earlier this morning he got a little careless and split his knuckles, maybe he was putting into many hours as Mysterion here of late but if those stalkers didn't want to be punched, they shouldn't be stalking people. He nearly leaps from the bean bag when you talk about poppies growing from your knuckles this morning, telling Heidi the exact location where he had split his.
His heart was racing, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. There was no way he was that lucky, that he was that deserving that someone like you would be his soulmate. Just before he can stand up the universe reminds him just how unlucky he really is.
"Kenny! There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you dude!" Any other time he would have been happy to hear Stan's voice, happy to see the others following right behind him.
"This is so sad you guys.... Kenny is sleeping in the library now. Is your cardboard bed that uncomfortable?" Any other time Kenny would have shut Eric down with a comeback of his own, but all he could muster was a glare. "Whoa what crawled up your vagina this morning?"
"God damn it Cartman quit it and stop waving that fishing pole around! You've got fucking hooks on it!" Any other time Kenny would have ignored Kyle's yelling, the ginger looked for any excuse to yell at Eric.
"Guys! Look I'm really not in the mood to-" But before Kenny could finish, Eric swung around to face the man yelling at him.
The metal hook at the end of Eric's fishing rod that he was carrying around for god knows why, slammed into the side of Kenny's face. The sharp hook caught the side of his cheek and pierced through the flesh. Instead of screaming out in pain he bit his lower lip and muffled it, once you've been stabbed in a dark alley trying to fight off a group of people it just becomes second nature.
"Dude!"
"Oh, shit Kenny!"
"Sick! You're getting blood everywhere!"
Kenny didn't have time for this, not when you were-
Oh god you.
His eyes dart over to where you were standing with Heidi, silently praying to whatever poor god that would listen to him that you were alright. He watches as you cup the side of your face, hesitating for a moment before your fingers met the cluster of clovers growing on the side of your face.
It doesn't hurt this time. Not like the last few times, in fact it feels gentle. Fingers that aren't yours caressing the side of your face, a whisper of something more, that clumsy first kiss, all of it wrapped up in one little moment. The three leaf clovers bloom across your cheek stopping just at the edge of your lips where finally a single six leaf clover sprouts.
He doesn't wait another moment; with his gloved hands he takes the fishing line that connects the hook in his face and his friends fishing pole and snaps it. His friends watch in horror and awe how he breaks it like a dried twig, like it was nothing to him. Kenny's on his feet before they can stop him again, moving across the library floor with purpose. The pain in his face is nothing compared to what he'll feel if he lets you slip away from him again. His reputation be damned, his pain be damned, all of it damned!
The library went quiet, and any hushed whispers were stopped when Kenny made his way over to you. He didn't even seem to care that he was leaving quite the blood trail behind him, and if anyone in the library cared they quickly changed their minds from the look on his face alone. The sound of his footsteps behind you made you turn to face him, but you don't have much time as he takes your wrist and drags you away from the many eyes and ears of others.
The school grounds are quiet right now, most people either have already gone home or are in class. Kenny doesn't slow down when walking and you don't stop him from dragging you across campus. He takes you further off school grounds, back near the many hills of South Park where the grass is peeking out from under the snow. The first signs of spring being crushed under your heels as you walk. Turning to face you, he doesn't get a word out before you're already looking up at him ready to talk.
"I'm sorry." He almost doesn't pick up what you say, the way you whisper it so softly. The clovers on your face can't make it easy but he can't help but admire how you make them look so ethereal; a painting come to life. Timeless and within reach.
"Why are you sorry?" Kenny struggles to talk as blood pours from his mouth and down his chin.
You don't know why you chuckle or why you smile at him, you should be terrified. Horrified for him that he was standing there talking to you with a fishhook in his mouth like it was the most normal thing in the world. Yet, with him it did feel normal. Unlike the other times you've interacted with the blond. This time it felt right.
If this was the work of him being your soulmate at play, you didn't really care. For the first time in your life things felt peaceful, you didn't feel the pressure of others. Because there were no others, just Kenny and you on a rolling hill. Just two dandelions growing next to each other and basking in the setting sun.
"That you're stuck with...me?" Your voice breaks through the little fantasy in your head and reality comes shattering back around you.
Kenny shakes his head and grins down at you, the gap between his front teeth that he hates now, bare to your eyes. Suddenly he doesn't feel so insecure about it. "I was just about to say that to you. You're the one who's got a plant growing out of your face."
"They were spider lilies and poppies yesterday." When you laugh Kenny has to resist the urge to grab you and pull you in for a kiss.
"If I get to hear you laugh like that always, never apologize to me again." You go to laugh again and look away from him, but he takes the sides of our face and turns you to back towards him. He's so gentle with you, shaky hands being careful not to crush the clovers on your face.
'Anyone else would have.' You think.
"I'm serious. Never apologize to me for being you again. You have no idea how thrilled I am that it's you. That I finally get to have someone to call mine and it's you." Those purple eyes bare down into yours like rain in a thunderstorm. You can even feel the water rolling down your cheeks and he's brushing them away with his thumbs. Whispering soft hushes, telling you not to cry.
"Kenny..."
"Shh, it's alright. I'm only saying it because I get it. I know where you're at but... maybe...maybe this is the universe telling us it's time to love ourselves. I'm not saying we've got to figure this out now I know I've got a bit of reputation of-"
You cut him off, for the second time today Kenny's been cut off, but he doesn't care when your lips are pressed so gently against his. The taste of copper doesn't even seem to bother you either. His eyes flutter shut, and his hands drop from your face to your waist where he pulls you in like he's always wanted to.
"I don't... think you're as bad as you think you are." You whisper against his lips and Kenny feels like he's going to melt.
"I don't think you're as bad as you think you are." He throws your words back at you with a playful purr behind his tone. "Baby I could tell the world just how perfect you are."
You scoff at that and roll your eyes, but the shy smile that plays on your lips tells Kenny exactly what he wants to hear. He reaches up to wipe the blood of your face, but you stop him and take his hand pressing a kiss into the palm of his gloves. You run his fingers through the clovers and take a deep breath, taking in everything around you.
"One step at a time Ken. For now, let’s worry about getting that hook out of your face."
"Huh? Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about it."
"How?"
"Was too busy getting lost in your eyes~"
You snort and push his hand away from your face, but it doesn't go far. Instead, you intertwine your fingers with his and pull him towards the school. Kenny follows you down the hill with all the love in his eyes he can muster.
Kenny McCormick had so much love in his heart to give, and now it was all yours. Maybe in the days to pass you’ll fill your apartment with the various plants and each little bud and flower would remind you of just that. That you weren't alone, you were surrounded by his love. That you were enough. That too him, you were words he couldn't put together and express. Other than...
I love you.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ niragi + fireworks [post-borderland] yes i'm late
Tumblr media
The night is getting loud. As the world approaches the end of yet another year, people on the streets are getting wilder and louder, and even if there's still plenty of time until midnight, some of them are already shooting off fireworks. The pretty lights sparkle in the night sky, lighting up the night.
Niragi's never been one to appreciate things just because they’re beautiful. Yet for some reason, each New Year’s Eve he stands on the balcony of your apartment and watches the sky erupt in colors. He seems to be looking past them, though, lost in thought.
He’s never told you about the scars on his body, how exactly he got so badly burned, and you don’t push. You have your theories, of course. After years of knowing him, at times almost analyzing his behavior, you’re pretty sure you know - and you suppose he’s aware of it too.
You were fortunate enough to avoid the whole catastrophe that happened in Tokyo, but you were fascinated and read about every article and interview with the victims out there. Most of them, if not all, mentioned seeing fireworks. In hindsight, of course, it is apparent that that’s not what the lights were, but it explains a lot. It explains the lost, almost longing, look on your boyfriend’s face as he stares at the night sky.
You open the doors to the balcony and shiver in the chilly night air. You’re sure he’s heard you come out, but you still move cautiously to avoid startling him as you wrap your arms around his waist and rest your head on his left shoulder. After all this time, he still prefers you don’t look at the burned half of his face. He makes an annoyed noise when you resist his attempts to pull you to his side instead.
“Just a moment, I promise,” you whisper. You can feel him rolling his eyes. His body tenses and relaxes under your touch, as if it can’t decide whether to enjoy it or shrug you off. You hope one day he’ll learn to accept it. It’s not your fault his back is so comfortable and it feels so good to hold him.
Eventually though you relent and let him guide you to stand in front of him. He seems much more comfortable having you trapped between his body and the railing. You can’t really see him now, which you suppose is another bonus for him.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you like the fireworks so much and say it’s cute,” you hum as you carefully cover one of his hands with yours. He scoffs, stepping closer until your back is pressed against his chest and the railing digs into your stomach.
“Good thing you’re smart,” he bites back.
Another firework blows up in the sky, huge and majestic. It colors the world in hues of red for a few seconds, as if it was splattered in blood. You want to see Niragi, but he’s made it clear he doesn’t want to be seen. You’re grateful he’s accepted your presence at least. 
“Are you thinking about it?” whatever it is, you ask quietly, softly rubbing your thumb across the back of his hand. He stays quiet for a few seconds.
“Doesn’t matter,” he responds reluctantly, and you don’t push. There’s tension in his voice and body that wasn’t there before and you feel vaguely sorry that you’ve asked. It’s not like you need to know every little thing about him, but you can’t help being curious - especially since this is kind of a big deal.
“Alright, but I’m here if you ever need to talk. I can just sit and listen,” you reassure him, again. Sometimes you’re tempted to try and count all the things you’re dying to hear about.
“You don’t need to hear about my fuck ups,” he sneers. In response you hum and tilt your head back to rest on his shoulder. He allows it.
“I don’t but I want to. I’m already yours, Niragi. I’m not going anywhere no matter what you tell me,” you try to look at him, but he gently takes your jaw between his fingers and tilts your head back down to look straight in front of you.
“Just watch the fireworks,” he doesn’t sound upset, which is rare and surprising and works well in making you listen to him.
He doesn’t speak afterwards, but one of his arms snakes around your waist and pulls you closer to him. He holds you tightly, possessively, and you wonder whether maybe you should’ve worded your response differently.
That’s one more question to ponder in the new year.

Attention Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction Enjoyers!!
I have a snack for y’all!!
Tumblr media
I’m in the process of writing the first chapter of my new Hazbin fic and I wanted to give you, my Lovelies, a sneak peek of the dialogue. (Although, it looks more like a script at the moment). Eh, whatevs.
——————
It’s going to be mostly centred around Lucifer, Michael, Sera, and Emily (although, other Hazbin characters, both canon and non-canon, will be in it as well).
For example, I will be including God in this fic. And I will say right now that my characterization and representation of God is NOT meant to be taken as religiously accurate or anything like that. You don’t have to like it, but I do ask that you please remain respectful in voicing your opinions.
Anyway…
Once I have most of it (or at least a few chapters) finished, I will be posting it on Archive Of Our Own (Ao3). I may also post it here for those who don’t use Ao3.
But without further ado, you can find my sneak peak under the cut. It’s a bit long but I hope you guys like it.
Enjoy, Lovelies!
START OF PEEK
Sera: Come now, Michael, pick up the pace. We mustn’t be late.
Michael: *Groans and yawns* Sera, where are we going again? Why are we going anywhere so EARLY? Heaven’s not even awake yet.
Sera: *Sighs quietly* I told you five minutes ago, Michael. This is the third time you’ve asked me now. *slighty raises an eyebrow with a frown*
Michael: Oh… right. *Looks down at the ground, looking a bit crestfallen*
*Sera turns back away from Michael as they continue walking, seemingly oblivious to his saddened state.*
Sera: Michael, this behaviour cannot continue. You must improve your listening. As Father’s Angel of Justice, one of His most important angels, someday you will be part of the Heavenly Council, the ones who are responsible for keeping Heaven safe and balanced. So, you need to take your role seriously. You should know that by now.
Michael: *frowns and stops walking, feeling embarrassed* I was listening. I just… kept forgetting. I’m sorry. *tears form in his eyes as he fiddles with his sleeves* I-I do take my role seriously, Sera. I r-really do.
*Sera’s eyes widen as she realizes what she said to him. She had forgotten how sensitive he could be when it came to criticism and how much he often took things to heart. How could she be so blunt? Yes, he would need to learn to take criticism, but was still just a young child.*
*But most of all, how could she forget? She knows what Michael is like. Other than God, she’s been the one mostly raising him.*
*A couple tears begin to trail down Michael’s cheeks as he looks to the ground in shame. A frown washes over Sera’s face as she kneels down in front of Michael.*
*She sure feels guilty now. She made him cry. How dare she.*
Sera: Oh, Michael. Please don’t cry.
*She cups his face in her hands and wipes away his tears with her thumbs.*
Sera: Shh, it’s okay, honey. It’s okay. I’m sorry for getting upset at you. I didn’t mean to be so harsh. I just want you to be prepared to help govern Heaven in the future.
Michael: *sniffles* I know…
Sera: *Sighs* But even so, that is no excuse for accusing you of not listening and being careless on purpose.
Michael: *sighs and sniffles as he looks at the ground* I try act mature like you and the other angels. I try to listen when you all tell me things. I want to listen, but… I’m just too stupid.
Sera: *Gasps quietly* Oh… no, Michael… Michael look at me. Please. *He looks at her* Don’t say or even think anything like that ever again. That train of thought stops this instant. You are not stupid. You are smart, determined, and caring.
*Sera sighs slightly shamefully and closes her eyes*
Sera: You are also quite mature for your age, and I sometimes forget how young you are. That as much as you’ve grown, you are still a young fledgling.
Michael: *eyes widened* You forget things, too?
*Sera opens her eyes again and looks at Michael with a small, reassuring smile.*
Sera: Of course. Angels are some of Father’s greatest creations… but even we are not flawless. As much as we may try to avoid it, we will make mistakes. That’s just how it is. However, what’s important is being able to admit to our mistakes and to do our best to fix them. That is true divinity.
*Sera takes Michael’s hands in hers.*
Sera: So, again, I’m sorry for what I said and for getting upset. It was not your fault and it was not kind or fair of me to be hard on you and make you feel less than. You’re a child. You deserve to be treated with patience and dignity and shouldn’t be expected to behave as if you were an adult.
*A smile quickly spreads across Michael’s face as he finishes drying his face with his sleeve.*
Michael: That’s okay, Sera. I forgive you. *Jumps into Sera’s arms for a hug*
Sera: *smiles* Thank you, Michael.
*Sera hugs him back.*
Michael: Thanks, too. I’ll do my best to make Heaven proud.
Sera: You’re welcome, my little angel. I know you will bring honour to us all.
*More hug I guess lmao*
Michael: I love you, Sera.
Sera: I love you too, Michael. *breaks the hug with a smile and strokes his cheek lovingly before standing up* Now, come along. Father is waiting for us.
*Sera holds out her hand, offering it for Michael to take, which he quickly does. Realization then dawns on his face as his wings flap excitedly a couple times.*
Michael: Oh, yeah, that’s where we’re going. Father wants to show us something, right?
*Sera looks down at Michael with an endearing smile and nods.*
Sera: That’s right.

The Ending
Last Morpheus x Hob!Reader. A bit hard to read, and with spoilers from the comics, careful. 
Tumblr media
Y/N Y/L/N couldn't die.
Not if she didn't want to.
Lord Morpheus repeated this to himself over and over as he continued to search for her everywhere. He refused to think that his sister might have changed her mind or that his immortal lover might have decided to leave without telling him.
Something else must have happened, and though it might be horrible, Dream told himself that he would find her, that she would be alive, and that he would help her get better, for as long as necessary.
She had told him about her long life, he had seen some of her nightmares. Y/N had experienced a lot of things, she was strong, smart. Everything would end well.
Her disappearance dated back to a few days now. If he hadn't learned to control his rage, Lord Morpheus would have punished Johanna Constantine for causing all this trouble. She had come to seek the help of Y/N and Hob for a dangerous mission, thinking that it would be better to be accompanied by people who could not die.
There are fates worse than death, Dream had once told Robert. You can be injured or captured.
It had happened to him soon after, like a premonition, and now Y/N might be stuck somewhere. Maybe she was being tortured, and if he didn't move fast enough, if she lost hope, then she might call his sister to end her suffering.
But no, she couldn't die, he refused that.
Despite his best efforts, traveling the waking world and dreams, dispatching Matthew and his most loyal subjects, he was unable to find her.
The Hecate didn't give him any help, answering with riddles and mocking him. Lost, he did something he hadn't even thought of doing when he was captured : he called his family. It wasn't as helpful as he would have hoped.
As always, Destiny couldn't do anything, saying whatever was supposed to happen would happen. 
Death only reassured him, promising him that Y/N had not contacted her, and that if she did, she would take him with her to save his beloved. She looked strange, but said nothing. 
Destruction didn't answer.
 The twins were a little surprised by his request, savoring this moment, happy to see him so weak in their domains, desperate and in love.
     "We'd be willing to help you just because we pity you and you finally seem to realize you're no better than us..." Desire began.
     "... But we can't do anything for you. An ancient magic seems to have taken your lover." continued Despair. "She's too far from us. Sorry."
It was out of sheer politeness, knowing how susceptible she could be, that Dream went to Delirium. Poor Delirium, his youngest sister would probably not achieve more than the others had already done.
She jumped up when she saw him, saying that she had missed him, before saying a lot of nonsense, but listening all the same to the reason for his coming. Delirium looked serious for a moment, thinking hard, before jumping up again.
     "I dON't KnOw wheRe Y/N Is. BUt I knOw whO I CAn Ask !"
     "Come find me if your friend brings news." sighed Morpheus who wasn't really listening.
     "He'S nOt MY fRIenD, BUt OkAY !"
A few hours later, someone showed up at the gate of the realm, and Matthew flew as quickly as possible to his master to tell him that Y/N had returned.
In an instant, Dream appeared beside her, hugging her, asking her if she was hurt, wiping the tears from her cheeks, touching her bloody hands.
     "... I'm fine." she whispered without looking at him.
     "Obviously not. If those who hurt you are not dead yet, I will find them and lock them in an eternal nightmare."
     "Forget it, Morpheus. I don't want to talk about it."
     "I cannot leave unpunished those who have dared..."
     "Nobody hurt me." Y/N said more firmly, but still avoiding his gaze. "It's not my blood. I lost myself, in limbos. It was impossible to find my way, I was alone, and I was afraid of arriving in hell, or of dying without doing it on purpose. Then he... I do not want to talk about it."
     "He ? Who is he ?"
Y/N initially refused to answer, continuing to cry, before falling to her knees and beginning to ask his forgiveness, as if she had committed a crime. The pleas came next, her love saying that she would understand that he hated her, that he never wanted to see her again, but that she had no choice. She was shaking, as if she was afraid of him.
     "He asked me... He was so tired, so kind. His voice... His voice..." she sobbed, taking Morpheus's hands. "He had such a beautiful voice."
Then Dream understood. And after having focused his attention only on Y/N, he contemplated the universe and whispered the name of his son who was no longer there. That was what his sister had hidden from him. What his brother had meant.
Y/N was alive, and Orpheus was dead.
Delirium had had the idea of going to ask her nephew for help. She had never thought of it before, but he was a oracle, so he knew everything, and he didn't have to keep quiet like their big brother. She wanted to ask him where her dear other brother Destruction was, but Orpheus had smiled, saying that his uncle didn't want to be found, that there was more important matters to deal with at the moment, and that he wouldn't be here afterwards.
Using his link with the Limbos where he had lost Eurycype, he had found Y/N and he had guided her to the exit. He had, however, asked her for a favor.
     "He said he wanted to join his wife. He couldn't stay like that anymore. He was already dead, or almost. He was staying for his mother, and you, even if he was convinced that you didn't love him anymore and that you would never come back to see him. He would have wanted to see you, and at the same time, he was afraid. Afraid that you would reject him, or that you would accept his request. He knew the rules, he knew what he would happen to you if you released him, so... He asked me. I didn't want to do it. I said there had to be a solution. I didn't want you to hate me."
     "My love..."
     "He said it would be fine. That you would understand. He sang to calm me down. A lullaby you made for him. It was beautiful. Oh, Morpheus, it was beautiful. Forgive me."
Unable to speak, he took her in his arms. His son was right, he didn't hate Y/N. He would never hate her, he was glad she was back, that she wasn't hurt. Yes, Orpheus was long dead, though none of them wanted to accept it.
     "My love..." he whispered again, continuing to rock her, trying to calm her crying, as he had done with this little baby that Calliope had given him. "There is nothing to forgive. You granted his wish, you did nothing wrong. You gave my child peace, something I could never have done. I wanted him to live, I was not here for him. At least he's with his wife now. He's happy."
Y/N continued to cry and apologize for several hours, hugging him and letting him kiss her until she was too exhausted to move.
It was not necessary to warn anyone. Once his partner was calmer, although still feeling guilty despite all his reassuring words, the family came.
Morpheus was afraid that they would be violent towards Y/N, that they would insult her, curse her, try to kill her.
The meeting was very strange.
Destiny didn't speak much, only repeating that what had to happen had happened. He quickly added that the other option would have been difficult, for everyone. Death hugged his brother, then Y/N, without saying anything, because it was not necessary. Destruction did not come.
The three youngest were the most surprising. Very serious, very solemn. Despair offered her condolences. Delirium apologized if she had made a mistake. Desire remained in a corner. It wasn't time for teasing, but none of them were mad at Y/N. Their nephew had been on the borders of their domains for too long, it was good that he was free.
Calliope arrived last, calm and serene, but with tears streaming down her cheeks. By stupid reflex, Morpheus stood in front of Y/N, but the muse smiled sadly at him, before passing and taking his companion's hand.
     "Thank you." she said. "Thank you for helping my son."
Not considering that she had helped him, Y/N just nodded trying not to cry again. She couldn't, and Morpheus took her back to their room as soon as everyone had left.
Of course, there remained the dreams and nightmares, curious and worried, who wanted to check that everything was alright for their creator, but also for his lover. They all adored Y/N, they didn't like to see her so sad, but above all, they wondered if their master might not blame her for what had happened.
     "I do not understand what you mean."
     "Well... She... She killed your son, boss." muttered the raven as if he had just said an insult. "Yeah, he asked her, and she's sorry, and I understand, but… You might be upset, and angry."
     "I am not."
     "Not even a little ?"
     "I'm not saying that the loss of my son doesn't cause me any pain. But Y/N is safe and sound thanks to him, and I've only felt joy since her return." he said, stroking the hair of the immortal, who was starting to wake up. "Excuse me, Matthew, but I don't want to leave her alone during this moment. I'll join her in the Waking World, tell Lucienne to watch over the realm while I'm gone."
     "Yes, boss. I'm sorry."
     "Don't be. If anyone is responsible, it's me. I had minimized my son's suffering. If Y/N had died today... Maybe I would have gone to hell for her. My sister would have laughed at me, saying that I was selfish. I could have helped him, I didn't. My brother is right, things happened as they were supposed to , and now I have to follow my own advice. Accept that he's gone, and savor every moment with Y/N, my Y/N, that he brought back to me."
The raven refrained from answering. He wasn't really satisfied, but he couldn't do anything. It wasn't a nice ending, like in the fairy tales, but it wasn't a bad ending either. Life like stories, their master well knew, did not always have happy endings. They had endings. And if in his Y/N was at his side, that was enough.

could u do a scenario with kunigami and a reader who has a perfectionist mindset and ends up breaking down bc they dont feel pretty or smart enough? i’ve honestly been feeling like shit for not feeling perfect and i just want my comfort character to help me escape </3
if u need more inspiration listen to pretty hurts by beyonce
hi anon! i tried to write this one as fast as i could after the previous request for u..i hope ur feeling somewhat better!! just in case no one has told u recently im soso proud of you and you can get through this! i hope u enjoy,, lots of love 🫶🩷
character: kunigami
Tumblr media
- kunigami had gotten used to your perfectionist attitude
- in fact, he barely struggled getting used to it
- he was always there to try to comfort you or take your mind off of whatever was bothering you
- he definitely struggled with reassurance at first, however. he actually still isn’t good at it
- he’s only good when you start degrading yourself and his mind just kinda takes over
- if you ever tried to brush him off with an “i’m okay” he would definitely back off
- he would instead try to do other things for you, such as getting your favorite food or making sure to pull you in to rest on his chest
- if u did brush him off he’ll probably learn not to comfort you that way and won’t really approach you, he just continues doing stuff that would hopefully make your day better
- all of that aside he actually loves your perfectionist side
- he loves the way you continue to strive to be better
- mostly because he can relate, he has to work hard to be everyone’s hero!!
- he tries to help if he can too
- he feels as if it’s his role as your boyfriend
- he also thinks your beautiful
- duh, you might be thinking. but he always tries to remind you with some sort of compliment
- he’s just as bad as giving compliments as he is at receiving though! so be patient
- but back to the moment you breakdown
- he’s probably not the best at detecting how stressed you are
- he didn’t even notice. he only knew when he saw you crying in bed while looking at your phone
“y/n?” your name rolled out of his mouth with worry, catching the attention of your widened teary eyes. “y/n, what’s wrong?” the question immediately left him once his concerned eyes met yours. he dropped his bag on the ground, his long legs extending to reach you fast and pull you into a comforting hug.
his heart broke at your released sobs and the way your body slumped into his, your hands clawing at the fabric of his shirt in desperate need of comfort. his finger pads gently made their way to your scalp, each spread out to gently massage your skin. he felt stupid, unable to come up with any comforting words at the moment and only being able to hold you close. he wanted to do more, he wanted you to feel better.
once your sobs lessened and you finally gained confidence in your voice you started sputtering what was weighing your heart down. the moment kunigami heard the words ‘i’m not pretty enough’ or ‘i’m not smart enough’ is the moment he decided to interrupt, not being able to hear anymore of your painfully wrong thoughts.
“hey, don’t say that.” he pulled away from the hug to lift your chin and make you look at his stern eyes. the hand still softly resting on your waist told you he wasn’t mad at you. “you know none of that is true, you’re just in a bad mental state right now to see. you’re the most beautiful person i’ve seen, and you aren’t anywhere close to dumb. you’re damn near perfect.” he stated, confident in each word he was saying while making sure to hold eye contact throughout the whole time.
“come on, take a bath with me and once we get back you’ll have to tell me who made you feel that way.” he gently took your hands, pulling you off the bed with him. once you were standing on your feet he cupped your face in his hands, giving you a soft kiss on the lips before pulling away with a reassuring gaze. “i’m so proud to be your boyfriend, i can’t have you feeling like you’re not enough, because you’re way more than enough for me.” he stated, giving one last final kiss to your cheek before his hand found your back and started pushing you to the bathroom.
Tumblr media
unedited thanks for reading!

Hi I saw the match up event recently but I gotta ask who would be a perfect match for me?
I’m a female and I’m not sure about my sexuality at the moment since I’m a bit confused what gender I am interested in but I don’t mind who it is, as long I’m given love and affection, then I won’t mind who it is.
About me, I’m an ambiverted female since i tend to be very shy at first and a little awkward, since I can’t keep up an conversation but there are times I will try and be social and talk to others while I’m trying not to be embarrassed or anything, but once I open up I’m very talkative and kind, i usually put my friends/family/loved ones first and then me most of the time, I don’t really get upset as often but I know deep inside I know I’m hurt since I tend to bottle everything up in short terms, I tend to mask it all with a bright and kind personality, I don’t know how to say no to others but I’m slowly learning and healing myself, but overall I’m very kind to others who respects my boundaries but overall I’m a kind hearted person, and I’m a very comforting person too, I’m basically an uncertified counselor too and not to mention I’m somewhat motherly to my friends since I always worry about them if they ate or something is wrong with them but I also get insecure most of the time because I feel like I’m not good enough or anything, I’m my friend group, I’m the mom friend who worries about their well-being or giving them mom advice (I’m not a mom because I’m single) but also I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m very delusional at times (kinda like mitsuri in a way😭😭) but I’m not a mean person in general!!
And another thing about me is I’m not very smart in a way since my ADHD and possible dislexia
but as for my style and appearance I’m a bit skinny and chubby with a curvey figure with a few small or medium belly rolls and skin marks too but I like to wear sweaters with zippers and a tight crop top tang too with spaghetti straps or thick ones and playboy bunny sweatpants because I find them comfortable since I have a big butt😭, and I like to wear my moccasins (slippers in indigenous culture, since I’m Canadian) but overall I don’t mind what clothes I’m wearing as long I’m comfortable
My main interest is listening to music that comforts me, I listen to Frank Sinatra or Songs from adventure time like everything stays or drift away from Steven universe since it kinda relates to me in away too, I love drawing and creating things like knitting or painting sunsets or landscapes!
And lastly for my main love languages, they are physically touch and Quality time, I’m very touch starved and quality starved too, I love being hugged a lot or even being near someone makes me happy, and maybe gift giving since I like giving people gifts but I sometimes like receiving gifts because I feel bad that people spend money on me either it’s expensive or not but I do like receiving small things that were crafted!! I like reassurance the most since I feel comforted when I’m sad or feeling lonely but also I have a hard time for asking for help in any situation
Thank you for listening and take your time!!!
heyy, autumn (i think this is you), in any case, i pair you with…
Sir Pentious !!
Tumblr media
Pentious is very soothed by your soft yet cheery energy haha it makes him feel at home and at ease and he really craves that in a partner tbh
Although you tend to bottle things up, it makes him very sad, as he’s very open about his feelings with you, and it makes him feel like he did something wrong :(
He will hug you for hours on end if you’d let him. Please let him hug you. He won’t ask, but he really wants it.

Hi! I'd like to request something where Joel is dating a bookworm (the reader) and one day he asks her to read out loud, which leads to him discovering that it helps him fall asleep. Because of that the reader reads to him every night, even when he's on tour. Firstly, the boys tease Joel about it but when they learn it's actually helping and his mood is better, they can't thank the reader enough.
this was extremely cute 😭😭😭 hope you enjoy!
“How do you even keep your focus on that for more than ten minutes?” 
Joel’s words take you back to the here and now. He’s lying next to you in bed, on his side, phone face down by his chest on the mattress as if he’s just put it down. He’s watching you with his head resting on his hand, propped up on one elbow. 
“You spend much more time on your phone than I do reading.” 
“It’s not the same. When I’m on my phone I’m never focused on one thing only. How can you read such a long ass story to the very end?” 
His question makes you snort. You close the book and turn to face him. There’s genuine curiosity in his eyes. 
“Books are more interesting than scrolling down social media. That is, if you find the right book.” 
“Maybe for smart people like you. I could never,” he laughs. “If anything, I’d grow impatient after two pages and spoil the ending within the first five minutes. What even is it you’re reading now anyway?” 
You show him the cover. “Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Fits your aesthetic, doesn’t it?” 
Joel looks at you with big eyes. “You know horror movies scare me. And books too, I guess.” 
“I think you’d like this one. Don’t you call yourself a vampire all the time? For example when you point out how Joonas has smile lines and you still don’t?” 
“Stop that,” Joel looks down. You reach your hand and caress his cheek. “Dracula is scary.” 
“Is not,” you insist. “Want me to read a passage to prove it to you? There’s nothing to be scared of, babyboy.” 
That seems to wound Joel’s masculinity, judging by how he stiffens and frowns. “I’m no babyboy. Go on and read. I’ll show you!” 
You smile at him - he’s so predictable it’s endearing. 
Feeling merciful, you choose a paragraph you know won’t upset him - a chapter from Doctor Seward’s diary, where he’s talking about his experience at the mental institution, when he still doesn’t know he’s dealing with something paranormal. 
You read the passage out loud and Joel listens silently. So silently, in fact, that you find it suspicious, and when you glance over at him, his chest is rising and falling slowly and his eyes are closed. 
A rare sight, him peacefully asleep at a decent hour. The tranquility of it makes you smile fondly and you reach out to remove a strand of hair from his face. You close the book, putting it on the nightstand, and turn off the lights, ready to join your boyfriend in dreamland. 
*** 
It becomes a habit. You reading out to Joel makes him fall asleep in no time and in the morning he’s well rested and overall in a better mood than usual. It’s incredible what a full night of rest can do to one’s mental health and you love seeing him energized and happier. 
That is, until Blind Channel needs to go on tour again. 
Joel was biting his nails, worried that he wouldn’t be able to sleep without your soothing voice reading the most diverse stories to him, and as much as you tried to reassure him that probably his circadian rhythm had adjusted by then and he’d be able to doze off just the same, or that he could still listen to audiobooks, he didn’t listen to reason; it was not about his sleep schedule, he could be exhausted and still find it impossible to sleep; it was not about having someone reading him a story, it was about you reading him a story. 
After a while of searching for a solution, you agreed to join him on tour for the first week (when you’re not busy) and later join the band again for shorter periods of time as often as you can. 
Now it’s the first day of tour; the first gig is over, it was awesome, the afterparty was just moderately alcoholic and now it’s silent, the bus already on the road to the next city. 
It’s crowded in Joel’s bunk bed - you, him and your suitcases. The little light is on and you’re half sat up, half reclined, as much as the bunk allows; Joel’s head is on your chest as he’s listening to your quiet strings of words, telling him a story about a man beating up other men  until he finds out he’s been beating up himself all along. Soon Joel is fast asleep. 
*** 
“Dude, what the hell was going on last night?” Olli asks as soon as he leaves his bunk the morning after, walking to the front area of the bus where everyone else is hanging out. He’s rubbing the sleep away from his eyes, hair all messy. 
“Yeah, someone was talking and talking. Had to go take a leak in the middle of the night and then I couldn’t go back to sleep,” Aleksi says. 
“Do you happen to know anything about it?” Joonas is addressing you and Joel with a knowing smirk. You blush - you thought you were being quiet enough. 
“I - she reads me to sleep. It helps. It’s all,” Joel is blushing even harder than you, toying with the ends of his hair. 
“Yeah, sorry, we didn’t mean to disturb. Maybe we can sleep in the lounge area tonight?” 
Niko and Aleksi are trying hard to keep from laughing, but just can’t resist any longer when they exchange a glance. 
“Dude, when you told us your girlfriend was joining us on tour I thought I’d be woken up by another kind of sound, not this,” Joonas says and now everybody is laughing. Joel flips him off and curls up in his seat, knees to his chest and head on his knees. 
“It helps me sleep! It’s not my fault I suffer from insomnia.” 
“Have you tried jerking off like everybody else?” Aleksi asks. 
“Fuck you too!” 
The conversation just turns into playful teasing after that, ending up with Joel and Joonas playwrestling in the seats by the small table and the others cheering them on. 
You and Joel sleep in the lounge area the following nights, keeping the little tradition going. And the day after you leave, at work, you receive a text from Niko during your lunch break: 
we forgot how grumpy joel can be when he doesn’t sleep. please come back! we’ll pay you 
You snort to yourself and then text Joel. 
facetime tonight? <3

Fuck it Friday
Sharing a fluffy fic fic that was popular enough but not widely read so giving it an airing, Tagged by @monsterrae1 thanks honey
Tagging @shortsighted-owl @bekkachaos @rogerzsteven @lilbuddie @dickley-buddie @loveyourownsmiilee @ajunerose @megslovesbooks @elvensorceress @the-likesofus @hetrez @jacksadventuresinwriting @blaidddrwg1982 @sibylsleaves
The Consequence of Sleeplessness 2.8k T
Eddie gets more sleep these days but he doesn’t often sleep well and sometimes, still, he can’t sleep at all.
Tonight is one of those nights. He can’t get to sleep, not for the same reasons that tormented his nights before, nothing like that, tonight it’s just regular insomnia, he can’t quiet his mind enough to drift off.
Regardless of the cause it’s been almost two hours of twisting and turning and trying to get comfortable. His phone catches his eye and not for the first time either. He wants to pick it up, wants to dial a number but he shouldn’t, it’s an indulgence he shouldn’t allow himself.
His fingers twitch anyway. Eventually they twitch all the way to his phone and slide and press buttons that lead to a sleepy voice saying his name as a question.
“Eddie?” He can imagine Buck pushing himself up in his bed bleary eyed and confused. “Everyone ok? You ok?” He can hear the slight edge of panic in Buck's voice too.
“Yes, sorry I didn’t mean to wake you.” He’d hoped Buck would still be up, he feels a little guilty now “Everyone’s ok” he’s quick to apologise and to reassure him.
“Couldn’t sleep then?” Now Buck sounds sympathetic, his voice warm and soft and Eddie’s weak because even this small piece of Buck, just his voice over the phone soothes him. He rolls onto his side and places the phone on the pillow, puts it on speaker, if he tries hard enough he can pretend Buck’s actually here with him.
It’s a fantasy he’s had more than once.
“I can’t switch off, nothing’s actually wrong, it’s just….” He pauses because what he really wants to say is, it's just that I missed you today and I wanted to talk to you, but he can’t say that, those are inside thoughts, not to be shared with the world, just kept secret and safe in his heart. What he says instead is
“Can’t settle that’s all.”
“I could read you a story?” Buck laughs softly and Eddie echoes it.
“Why don’t you just tell me what you did today.”
So Buck does, voice rising and falling as he gets more enthusiastic about his day with Jee-Yun. Eddie listens carefully to every word and smiles in the dark. It’s safe to do that in the dark where no one can see him.
Buck’s been enthusing about how smart Jee is and how he’s been doing research into the best ways to help babies learn new words when he stops suddenly, “Sorry I’m probably boring you but hey at least that’ll cure the insomnia huh?”
Eddie disagrees strongly, Buck is constantly doing that, underestimating his value, he needs to stop it. Eddie’s tried to tell him, show him how much he matters more than once. He’ll keep trying though.
“I like listening to you.” Eddie rolls his eyes at himself, it’s almost embarrassing how he sounds.
Buck laughs softly, his disbelief clear “Well you’d be in the minority then.”
“Don’t do that, don’t put yourself down.” He’ll make him see one day, probably not today judging from the scoffing noise Buck just made down the phone. He tries again.
“I really do like listening to you.”
“Yeah?” Buck's question is soft and wistful. Maybe Eddie is getting through to him after all.
“Yeah” Eddie responds just as softly. He reaches out to touch the phone, the closest thing he has to Buck right now.
“One of my favourite things actually” that was very honest of him,he’s surprised himself, it’s meant to be one of the inside thoughts, how’d it slip out? He thinks it’s being in the dark like this, it feels like you can be more honest in the dark.
He risks a little more “I missed you today.”
It’s quiet but he can hear Buck’s quick intake of breath through the line, his voice sounds tentative when he speaks again, “maybe, maybe next time I have Jee you and Chris could come too, we could take her somewhere fun.”
Like a family Eddie thinks. The family he almost but not quite has with Buck.
“I’d like that, maybe the zoo, Chris would love to show her all the animals, share all the things you’ve taught him.”
That sets Buck off again and he’s listing the best exhibits for a preschooler and the ones he thinks Chris would like to show Jee. Eddie listens, feeling happier than he has all day, he knows why, he can hide it from the world but he can’t hide it from himself.
Buck talks and Eddie relaxes, too much because he forgets himself again, forgets to run the words in his heart past his brain and says another one of the inside thoughts out loud.
“I wish you were here.”
Before he has time to panic Buck’s replying, his voice is a little breathless as if he wanted to get the words out before Eddie could stop him.
“I could be.”
Eddie’s heart rate picks up, he should say no, it’s a ridiculous, dangerous thought to say anything except no but he wants to say yes, he wants to say yes please, please be here.
“That’s … you don’t ..” is as far as he gets.
Buck’s voice is quiet, he says “I could. If you need me” then even quieter “if you want me?”
Buck’s asking a question they’ve been avoiding. He knows the answer, he needs Buck like air, he wants him like he’s never wanted anything but it’s selfish to ask for it. Isn’t it? He says,
“It’s late” which is no answer at all.
“I don’t mind.”
“Where will you sleep, my couch isn’t that comfortable” Why on earth did he say that? It makes his heart trip and stutter. The same heart almost stops entirely when Buck replies.
“Eddie I’d sleep wherever you want me to.”
Buck’s voice sounds different, it makes his heart thud against his ribs faster and faster and he can't talk past the sudden lump in his throat; something’s happening, maybe it’s finally happening. He gets one word out.
“Buck.”
And Eddie thinks if Buck’s really listening he’ll hear what he can’t say out loud, he’ll hear the longing and fear contained in just that one word.
His voice hovers between a warning and an invitation. An invitation to be more than they are but a warning not to offer something he can’t give because Eddie’s survived a lot but he won’t survive reaching for Buck and missing.
“I know what I want Eddie.” He sounds so sure, but his next words are less confident, “maybe, maybe you want that too?”
Eddie can’t answer his voice stolen by the sudden pressure in his chest.
Buck’s voice carries on, filling the dark spaces in Eddie’s life, just like he always does. “I think, maybe you do?”
He needs to say something, anything, he started this he can’t leave Buck hanging with his heart on display.
“Eddie? “ Buck carries on, he’s so brave, braver than Eddie’s ever been. “We could do this, if you want to…” but Buck’s courage fails him with a humourless huff of laughter, already resigned to what he thinks is coming next “or we can just forget this conversation ever happened, pretend it was a dream.”
And isn’t it just heartbreaking how Buck puts his heart on the line and immediately expects to be sent away. Buck knows what he wants and he was brave enough to say it. Eddie knows what he wants too, he’s just not as brave.
Darkness and silence fill his room.
He’s going to tell Buck how he feels, the other man has just revealed his heart, he can do the same. Except he still hasn’t and Buck’s drawing his own conclusions.
“I mean it Eddie. It’s ok.” Buck sounds tired and a little sad. “Just, just try to forget what I said, it’s late, I’m half asleep, I don’t even know what I'm saying.” He sighs, “Can you forget it please, it doesn’t matter.”
Eddie takes a deep breath, air returns to his lungs, he doesn’t like it when Buck sounds like that, he’s heard him sound like that before but this time it’s Eddie’s fault because he’s too slow and too scared. Of course it matters how Buck feels about him it matters more than anything else right now and the sudden realisation that he’s losing his chance makes the words burst out of him.
“No I can’t forget it.”
Now Buck sounds worried.
“Eddie please I don’t want..”
He interrupts him, “I know what I want. I want you. I always want you.”
Buck’s gasp of breath is clear over the phone but Eddie’s not done. Now he’s started asking for what he wants he can’t stop.
“Can you come over, please. I want you here, please. Please be here, it’s where you belong.”
He can tell Buck’s moving when he answers him “I’m already on my way. I’ll see you soon.”
Buck hangs up.

"how do you know that i’m out of his league if you’ve never met him?” there’s still a small smile on her lips regardless of the finer details because even after all this time, it’s reassuring to hear from people who couldn’t disagree with her ex’s words more; especially when it’s a person she respects so much. the sad truth is that if someone spends enough time telling you that you’re not very smart, you’ll eventually start to believe it, and there are some tougher days at work where riley will start to fall back into that pattern. she swears she’s trying, but learning how to deal with failure without shouldering the full blame has never come naturally for her. “you say you don’t have much experience with it and that might be true, but whatever articles you’ve read seem to be pretty accurate. i can barely remember what not being anxious feels like.” when was the last time they were genuinely entirely carefree, with no nagging thoughts at the back of their mind or something lurking beneath that causes their stomach to twist itself into nervous knots? it must have been around their early school years, back before anybody had managed to figure out just how advanced her little brain could be in comparison to her classmates. once they did, it was all downhill from there. if she asked for assistance with something, what if the adults were disappointed? she was the clever one, after all. surely she shouldn’t need to be talked through the process like everyone else. sadly, she knows not everyone thinks the same way hayes does. not everyone is so willing to help.
“yeah, i know… although i’m starting to think there might be such a thing as caring too much.” imagine how much easier life would be if they could just shut off the limbic system in their brain for a little while and coast through the day without getting caught up on every minor mistake or overthinking every conversation hours after they've already ended. what a dream that would be. “that’s probably the smarter choice in the long run. but for what it's worth, i think you deserve all that praise you don't listen to.” it seems like feeling undeserving of flattery is just another thing they have in common. "i suppose if it was easy, anybody could do it, right? but you're the one in that position for a reason. you said you're doing the best you can and if everyone can already see that when you've barely just begun, i'd take that as a sign that you're moving in the right direction. so don't worry, i don't think you'll disappoint me either." realistically, they aren't even the one he should be afraid of letting down — what does their personal opinion really matter in the long run? "oh, ouch… are you trying to tell me to get a life right now?" being so directly called out would be woefully embarrassing if the initial surprise hadn’t made her laugh. is she that predictable? it's not like she never sees the light of day and spends the time in between shifts at home, staring blankly at the wall until it's time to leave again; she just tends not to do stuff that most people would deem as particularly adventurous or exciting. it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone to learn that she's not much of an extrovert. “hey, if you don't have confidence in your love life, someone has to. whatever form it ends up taking, yes, i'm willing to bet that you’ll get there. is that so hard to believe?" riley of all people giving out any kind of relationship advice is incredibly ironic, but she has a feeling about this one. he's so stereotypically perfect, it's close to frustrating. "yeah, that's what i thought… but then again, how else do you plan on meeting someone if you're exhausting all your other options?" at the mention of dating essentially getting in the way of work however, a knowing smile settles on their lips. ah, that sounds familiar. “i'm sorry, what was that you were saying earlier about me needing to work on my work-life balance? i'm afraid you might need to start taking your own advice." at this point, it should probably be considered a miracle that they aren't both still at the hospital right now.
“oh, i see… i suppose i didn’t think about that part.” she hadn't even thought that a member of staff would be an option for him, but it makes sense in hindsight; it's where he spends most of his time after all. the downside to this information is that now, their mind is running at a rapid pace trying to figure out who exactly has managed to capture his attention. they’re not one to gossip — especially not while at work — but they’d be lying if they said their curiosity wasn’t piqued. “as long as it’s consensual though, i’m sure there’s a way to work around the rules somehow, right? it may technically be frowned upon, but it’s not like you’d be breaking the law… i doubt you’re the first person to ever develop feelings for an employee.” aren’t there hundreds of cliche romance books out there about dating your boss? it must be a pretty common line of thinking for some people. as soon as it becomes clear that he's finally going to tell her why they're really here, riley's spine straightens and she tries not to lean forward in anticipation. she hadn’t the faintest idea what she was actually expecting him to say, but it wasn’t… that. her mouth opens the second the words leave his lips, but no sound comes out yet and she has to quickly shut it again. is he positive he hasn’t gotten her mixed up with someone else? “um, the clinic sounds like a great idea,” she begins, trying to find the best way to voice her confusion. this day has taken so many unexpected turns, she's shocked she's not dizzy. “but… why would you want me? you have plenty of other doctors who are far more experienced and capable than i am. giving me that responsibility... it feels like a risk.”

hey luv , here's your matchup, hope you like it
I Ship you with
Tumblr media
Sugawara
you two first meet in the halls of Karasuno , you were running late and hurried to class
he stepped out of the classroom to get chalk
you bumped into eachother and at first you two thought it was just this one incident
but you started seeing eachother in the breaks , at first little waves which turned into handshakes and talks which turned into hugs and being friends
now suga is someone who takes care of a lot of people , so it's nice for him that you started caring for him (because let's be honest he puts himself at the very last place of caring )
and so it goes a long time , caring for eachother , you come over to his Home or he comes to yours
but one time , when you were meeting up, something seemed of about him , it was like he was holding back
it didn't take long for you to notice , so when you started talking to him about it he opened up to you quickly
turns out someone told him, he was to bothering for the members and said they found it annoying how he was always spinning around them like a helicopter Mom
so you reassured him that he is a great Person and that its a good trait to be caring
after your little speech to motivate him , he blurted something Out which you didn't understand at first but then he repeated it " your special to me and i think i like you as more than just a good friend"
at first you didn't believe the words that came out of him but soon told him that you thought the Same was about him
you both decided that you take it slow, and not call it anything yet , so you were basically friends with kisses
then one time when he took you out for a date he asked you to be his girlfriend offically and you said yes
so from now on you were the highschool-sweethearts in karasuno
you met up even more than before and watched movies and always cuddled up to eachother
always checking up on eachother over texts with things like have you eaten today and drank enough water and make sure to take care of yourself
you two call almost every night to fall asleep in eachothers presences
you come to his games and support him
your the reason he keeps goin so you Always motivate and reassured him and ist's also the other was around
all in all it's a very comforting , reassuring and motivating relationship
So that was it for your matchup , i hope you liked it and i would appreciate Feedback , so i know If i can do any better

After going through the description given, I believe that you best pair well with Silver!
Silver is a gentleman through and through, so while he appreciates your figure, he doesn’t ogle it mindlessly like some other students might. Although, if pushed, he would find that you are adorable and quite eye-catching, what with your curly black hair and chubby cheeks. And because you’re so short, he may endeavor to help you with fetching things like books or cups from high places—provided, of course, you ask for assistance because he still is a very polite young man.
Silver doesn’t often think about romance or any other feelings relating to that particular emotion. Most of the time, he’s trying to better himself as both a knight to his prince or to become a worthy mage that his father can be proud of. That said, he appreciates your kind and caring nature. As a student of Night Raven College, most of his peers are not as willing to bear vulnerability or compassion so openly. If nothing else, he finds your attitude refreshing because it is also a reflection of himself.
Silver believes in you despite your awkward and clumsy nature. Everyone has their faults and yours is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s rather endearing; almost as if you were one of those deer he would find near his childhood home or in the forests that surround the school. 
In addition, if he ever finds that you are feeling doubtful about your talents and abilities, he is quick to reassure you and lay any doubts to rest. It takes a while to become confident, but like all things, when you want to become better at someone, you have to continue to practice and work hard to better yourself. 
Silver is straightforward and serious. Although he is far more adept at interacting with his peers when compared to the rest of Diasomnia dorm, that doesn’t mean that he’s loads better. Therefore, don’t be too discouraged or saddened if Silver doesn’t quip back with his own sarcastic retorts or laugh at your sass. He’s an earnest, polite soul; it’s best that if you want to communicate with little miscommunication, you are clear and concise with your words. 
(That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any moments when he can’t be funny or crack a smile at your humor. Give him time, he’ll get there eventually). 
Don’t blame Silver, but he also thinks that you’re rather adorable. It’s a mixture of your mannerisms and your physicality, but it’s also because you remind him of his woodland creatures that he talks to sometimes. It doesn’t help that you’re rather soft spoken and that you share his love for animals!
Speaking of animals, you can join Silver whenever he decides to take a walk through the forest surrounding Night Raven College. Even though he’s usually busy because of club meetings, schoolwork, and a plethora of activities that he must complete as knight to Malleus, he’ll still make time for you. Sometimes, dates with him will culminate in a lovely picnic underneath a great oak tree. There, the both of you can talk about your wants and dreams, pet the animals that will eventually swarm Silver, or even take naps together. 
(You can even ruffle or comb through Silver’s hair whenever he takes an impromptu nap. Just be sure to wake him up eventually). 
Whenever Silver sees that you are not taking care of yourself —especially when you should—he’ll offer to lighten your burdens. If you need help cooking healthy meals, he’ll take over the kitchen for you. If your living space needs cleaning, he’ll freely get cleaning supplies and get to work. Whatever you need help with, he’ll do his best to uplight you and make it so that it’s easier to enact self care. 
If you are ever worried about not getting listened to, don’t fear! Silver isn’t very talkative, but he’s always willing to listen to others. There may be times when he may not have words of advice should you need them (he might have to refer to Lilia for worldly advice), but his comforting presence more than makes up for it. 
As for your listed love languages, Silver appreciates all three of them. His favorite, however, is acts of service. He’s a knight and had to spend most of his childhood learning how to be self-sufficient. To know that there is someone out there who can share some of his responsibilities lightens his heart. He’s a little confused when you give him gifts (it’s not often that he’s spoiled like this), but will accept them nonetheless. As for physical affection, he’s more than fine with it! He doesn’t often initiate, but won’t stop you if you reach for his hands or pull his face in for a kiss. 
As for you, Silver is not always outspoken, but you can be assured that whatever he says will always be the truth. No matter how blunt his words, know that he means all of it and that he would never directly hurt you with words alone. Again, he’s not great with initiating physical affection, but if you inform him that you would like him to start, he’ll gladly do so. He’s not exactly as shy as you, but he’ll be very gentle, almost hesitant to touch you. After a while, he’ll become bolder and offer you physical affection whenever he sees you.
All in all, your relationship with Silver is pretty mellow, but filled with quiet affection and love between the both of you.

Thank you
hi lovely! thank you for doing this! it’s been super fun. also, apologies if i get something wrong it’s been forever since i’ve played fe3h.
i match you with… ashe!
Ashe is genuinely one of the most caring and kind people you’d ever met. You met your first day at the monastery and accidentally tripped up the stairs going to the library. Ashe saw and immediately asked if you were okay, making sure you had no injuries and reassuring you if you were a little embarrassed.
You mentioned that you were new, and he offered to take you on a tour of the monastery. You’d already been given one by Seteth, but Goddess knows he was difficult to pay attention to, so you agreed. It was way more fun than studying, and Ashe’s company was a lot better than being alone in a new place.
You grew accustomed to having him by your side—whether it be in the Blue Lions classroom, the training arena, or the dining hall. You were inseparable.
Sure, the rest of the Lions were amazing company, but it just didn’t compare to Ashe.
You both kept the other Lions out of trouble, making sure they do their best in school and training as well as each other. Ashe uplifts you in every aspect of your life, whether it’s your academics, talents, training, or just being your best self. He’s genuinely your biggest supporter and this is still before you get together. Imagine how he is once you actually do.
Ashe is like, the sweetest boyfriend to exist. He wants to do almost everything for you just for the sake of taking care of you, but also respects your boundaries. No PDA or affection that is too much for you to handle. Keeps an eye out in case you do get shy, but thinks it’s super cute so he might do it on purpose here and there. Never too far, though.
It gets rough when Lonato dies, and even harder once the war begins. With Dimitri and the Professor’s return, the war becomes serious and your relationship is put under a lot of strain. There are stressful times and hard conversations about your lives on the line. But never once does he want to leave you or think that you’re not worth the added stress.
If anything, Ashe trains harder to be able to protect both him and you, even though he knows you’re fully capable of protecting yourself. You do the same, ready to risk your life to save him even though you promised him you wouldn’t.
Luckily for the both of you, it doesn’t come to that. The war is won, and it is time for peace.
You and Ashe find peace in Faerghus, where he takes over Lonato’s lordship and works closely with Dimitri and Byleth to rebuild Fodlan. You help him, supporting your now-fiancé to the best of your abilities.
Your life has been up and down since the day you met Ashe, but you wouldn’t change it for anything. Especially when you see the tears in his eyes as you walk down the isle, all of your former classmates and friends around you. Life is good.

Hello! Could I get a matchup for Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Obey Me?
PRONOUNS: She/Her
SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
Zodiac/MBTI: Aries, INFP
APPEARANCE: I’m 5'2"/160 cm, have a long wavy hair. I usually wear a soft girl aesthetic clothes. Short skirts and a crop top / loose shirt plus 2-inched sandals. But if I'm not in the mood to search for outfits I go for short shorts and t-shirt / tank top with flannel on top.
PERSONALITY: I always have this resting bitch face and quiet when alone and only smile to people I know. My friends are always amused to my sarcastic and sassy personality. They always find my words funny even if I don't intend to joke. I may be sarcastic and sassy, but I am also a cheery type of girl. I'm a fast learner plus book and street smart. Have high grades even if I'm a laid-back type of student that loves to procrastinate. I rarely review for exams, but I still get high scores.
LIKES and DISLIKES: I love to listen to J-Pop and K-Pop music. I also love sweets especially chocolate (that makes me a sweet tooth and also a chocoholic). I’m not fond of sour food. I also hate complete darkness; I need a bit of light. I also hate it when I’m already doing a chore or a task then someone had to tell me I need to do it (like, I’m already doing it, now I’m not in the mood to do it anymore)
HOBBIES: Writing, reading, listening to music, watching anime, play league and genshin as well as some rhythm games.
~⛅️
Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while. I hope you like your matchups!
In Genshin Impact, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Thoma would love making sweet treats for you. He’s great at cooking so no matter what you’re craving, he’ll be able to make it.
He loves spending time reading with you. He doesn’t get a whole lot of time to relax so any time he does have free, he wants to spend it with you.
If you share your writing with him, Thoma will always read it carefully and give you good feedback on everything he liked about it.
Thoma completely understands how annoying it is when people ask you to do something you were already doing. He’s had that happen too many times so he knows that feeling all too well.
He’s also really good at knowing when you’re doing things so he’ll never ask you to do something you’re already doing.
He loves it when you smile. He knows you only smile around people you know so he likes that you smile around him. It makes him feel connected to you.
In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Caelus loves playing video games with you. I see him as a fan of rhythm games so he’d love playing those with you.
I think he’d also be a fan of J-Pop and K-Pop. He’d love to dance with you while listening to your favourite songs. If there’s a dance routine that goes along with the song, Caelus would absolutely learn it.
While I don’t think Caelus has a sweet tooth himself, he’s always on the lookout for treats when he gets to a new planet.
He will always do his best to make sure there’s some light wherever you go. If it’s unavoidable, he’ll hold your hand and give it a reassuring squeeze whenever you need it.
Caelus loves your sarcasm. There are a lot of things he thinks when people ask him to do their menial jobs for them. He’s glad you vocalise those thoughts sometimes.
In Obey Me, I match you with...
Tumblr media
Levi absolutely has a sweet tooth to rival your own. During gaming sessions, he would absolutely share any chocolates or sweets he has stashed in his room with you.
Video game dates are an absolute must! Levi plays pretty much every game under the sun so whatever you feel like playing, he’s happy with.
Likewise, he would love to watch anime with you. Of course you’re going to watch The Tale of the Seven Lords but Levi’s pretty open too watching most things, especially if you like them.
His room is a bit dark but the soft glow from the fish tank means it’s never properly dark.
Dance parties where you’re both just goofing around listening to J-Pop and K-Pop songs. Levi would love it if you enjoy Sucre Frenzy’s music but he’s also more than willing to listen to stuff you like as well.

Never Be Lonely
@flashfictionfridayofficial prompt - "meeting of the minds"
London, 1655
Aziraphale shuffled aimlessly through the pages of his book, unable to focus. It was the fifth one he’d tried to read today, and he simply could not pay attention to it. Because of the past month, life had seemed rather empty.
He’d finally given up at sitting alone in his house or the bookshop he managed these days, and had squeezed down London’s crowded streets until he found himself at one of the marvelously popular new coffeehouses. Sometimes when he felt a bit listless, it was nice to be around humans for a while.
And the coffeehouses were wonderful. Packed with scholars, businessmen, and ordinary folk with an interest in learning. Vibrant debates and discussions bounced between the tables, aided in their energy by copious amounts of bitter coffee. Tea and chocolate, too, fueled the exchange of ideas.
Usually, the intellectual environment and meeting of minds buoyed Aziraphale’s spirits and stimulated his own interests. He loved to hear the latest theories about the world, and to take part in lively discussions about politics, philosophy, and religion. It was so exciting to be around passionate people.
Today, though, it hadn’t helped at all. He still just felt quite sad.
Lonely, in fact, even surrounded by humans. It was a temporary problem, though, and one that would be resolved in time. He simply had to be patient, and everything would be okay again in time. It never lasted too long.
Sighing, he picked up his bowl of chocolate and sipped the hot drink. It wasn’t enough to soothe the ache, but it did taste quite good.
He was on his fourth serving of chocolate when he became aware of something else warm and comforting. A fiery presence in the metaphysical realms, so familiar that he relaxed into it at once. Yes. This was precisely what he’d missed so badly these past weeks.
Crowley was back in London.
Aziraphale reached out with his own mind, the coffeehouse fading into the background as his focus slid to the astral planes. He found the beloved smokiness and iridescent serpentine coils—Crowley—and brushed against him in greeting.
When he and Crowley communicated like this, their True Forms meeting, it rarely took the form of distinct words. Aziraphale’s questioning hope for a physical meeting was met with immediate reassurance and warmth, and he returned his focus to the coffeehouse. Smiling, he ordered tea for both of them.
As promised, Crowley arrived within minutes. He paid his entry fee with a miracled coin, then sauntered over and flopped down on the bench beside Aziraphale. “Hey, angel. Thanks for saving me a spot.”
“Oh, always.” Aziraphale beamed at him. “It’s wonderful to have you back. I see you acquired a few things between assignments?”
Crowley was wearing a smart new doublet—black, of course, with red embroidery on the collar—as well as a new leather bag, and his fiery hair spilled across his shoulders in carefully arranged ringlets. He set the bag on the table and rummaged through it, then pulled out several pears. “Yep. And I picked these up for you.”
“Goodness, you do spoil me.” Delighted, Aziraphale moved his book out of the way and examined the pears. “The perfect ripeness. You chose very well.”
“I’d bloody well better be able to choose well, after how much time I’ve spent listening to you complain about the ones at the markets.” There wasn’t a scrap of real irritation in Crowley’s voice, only deep fondness. “You all right? You felt sad.”
Of course he’d picked up on that. Even just a brief moment of contact between their True Forms was rather intimate, and any strong feelings would resonate. Crowley was particularly observant, which made it difficult to hide anything from him.
Aziraphale gave a little shrug. “I was, yes, but I’m much better now. Afraid I was getting a bit lonely, even with all this lovely company.”
Frowning, Crowley tilted his head. He reached up, fingers brushing against Aziraphale’s cheek in a delicate caress. “Listening to arguments about the morality of playing football didn’t cheer you up, huh?”
The gentle humor in his tone made Aziraphale chuckle. He leaned into Crowley’s touch for a moment, then captured his hand and clasped it tightly in both of his own. “I’m afraid that Puritan morality does not cheer me up, no. Although I don’t believe that ‘cheering up’ tends to go hand in hand with Puritanism.”
“Not so much.” Crowley’s slender fingers curled around his hand in a reassuring squeeze. “But you do seem loads happier now. I guess something else musta cheered you up, hmm? Maybe those pears?”
“Well, the pears were certainly a helpful ingredient for mood improvement.” Aziraphale gazed into the affectionate golden eyes, basking in the familiarity. He and Crowley would spend the rest of the day together, drinking and talking and simply enjoying themselves.
And, thanks to the company of his adversary—his best friend—who always returned to him, Aziraphale would no longer be lonely.

Ideals, Reality, Compromise?
“You can’t always get what you want…”
“…but you get what you need…”.* Sometimes
Ya got your high minded ideals; ya got your personal expectations and standards; ya got what you want(demand?) life to be like…then, you got what really happens. To quote the venerable Mick Jagger again you cry, “I says, "hey, you, get off of my cloud,”** when the unplanned happens. You realize that no man is an island, nor can you build walls high enough to keep out those events of reality that make you say, “oh shit!” Yes boys and girls for all of the high minded expectations and philosophies that you can crank out, you can’t fight city hall (i. e. the real world).
Case in point, Brent, moi, has the commandment: THOU SHALT NOT ENGAGE IN OLD MAN TALK. Old man talk is defined as: old man talk
/ˌōld ˈman/ /tāwk/
noun
1. 1. 
an elderly(MIDDLE AGED) male person’s self defeating dialogue that deals with aches and pains of his or any other acquaintance; illnesses or the keeping up with who has passed away
Oh it’s a reoccurring topic in these articles man, it just detracts from the harmonic vibrations dude. I avoid it. Unless it’s concerning immediate family, I don’t want to hear about who died, who is in the hospital, who contracted this disease or that one. It kills the chill. To be able keep such alerts at bay forever? No way, man…the world goes on in ways that pop your high ideals in the jaw. This occasional reminder hit me twice in one day Saturday. One of my friends of the Great Triumvirate alerted me via text that one of our friends from high school, a fellow member of a clandestine fraternal group to which we belonged, had passed away in his sleep. This particular person who had just left us, I had not literally spoken with since high school. It was a clear breech of the NO OLD MAN TALK PROTOCOLS! I lamented to my wife that I wish he hadn’t told me, because now I’d be down the rest of the day. I’m certain that by now you’ve picked up that my NO OLD MAN TALK standards border a bit on being somewhat of a selfish p***k at times. I can’t deny that. Later that evening, I’d be made aware of why maintaining strict adherence to that rule is not totally a good thing.
That night, my wife and I had gone to see a jammin’ blues band at the Granbury Live Theater. It was an awesome night. As we were leaving, my heart stopped and I froze in my tracks. Memories hit randomly and provide lessons to learn. As I’d mentioned were having a huge time at the show when my heart did it’s thing. A gentleman sitting in front of us looked like what my best friend, Fant Smart, I imagine would look like today if he hadn’t been stolen from us violently twenty years ago. He was gracious enough to take a picture and listen to my heartfelt tale. I thanked him and said, ”if you knew Fant you’d consider my compliment to be high praise indeed!”
Tumblr media
It hit me as to why a complete keeping of the Old Man Talk Standard can do more harm than good. My spirit traveled instantly through the ethereal void and brought my good friend back, if only for a moment. The moment was magnificent and made me happy and …sad, again. I realized that the compromising of a standard or “ideal” needs to happen perhaps not for you, but for people around you who need momentary comfort and reassurance that loved ones are remembered and are valued. Taking a moment to let your guard down needn’t be just an exercise in self defeating melancholy. At its best, such remembrances, are a universal bonding of our need to belong and to be remembered. “What are the pains of this brief mortal life, but for legacy?”*** My friend who texted me earlier that day, simply wanted a token acknowledgment that though our mutual friend was gone, his place was not going to be soon forgotten. What’s the value of that? The emotional and spiritual magic that came my way took me back to my best friend now twenty years gone. Surely, I can allow myself a little discomfort to give some heartfelt reassurance that we were here and people care and remember that we were. I will live my days around positive thoughts and pleasant states of mind as often as possible, but a toast to fallen comrades can be indulged from time to time to grant to others what I seek myself.
This is a gift that I have, simple; a foolish
extravagant spirit full of forms, figures, shapes,
objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions,
revolutions; these are begot in the ventricle of
memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater,
and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion.
William Shakespeare
