i'm so glad your requests are open!!! could i please request “Friends can kiss each other a little from time to time, right?” for nct's mark?

a fairy king and an elven warrior walk into a nerd convention;

mark lee | “Friends can kiss each other a little from time to time, right?” cosplay!au. | 4.4k words. | fluff, humor, v awkward mark lee and v awkward u as well.

a/n: because I received this prompt a few times, I’m doing my best to change each one up somehow so here’s a lil cosplaying with markiepooh

“I’m sorry, (Y/N),” Donghyuck’s words comes through the phone after a cacophony of violent coughing and groaning, voice drenched in regret despite the strain to speak clearly at all, “I don’t think I can stand around a crowded con for hours in plastic armor today. I can barely walk to the bathroom without getting dizzy… I have to bow out.”

“W-What?” You really hate how distinctly sad your voice sounds even as you muster all your might to stay calm. You were supposed to march into that convention center today in five pounds of armor that you’d meticulously spray-painted and tweaked to look just like your character’s, your face caked in makeup to create that flawless elven look that only existed in the world of warrior elves and demon fey, and your suffocating wig trimmed and styled to defy gravity itself with Donghyuck at your side. You and Donghyuck were famous for cosplaying as the married brave warrior elf Greer and dark fairy king Egi (respectively) at many conventions across the country, spending months on top of months perfecting your costumes and winning contests for your spot on depictions of the characters, but now you were a Greer without an Egi, and you didn’t know if you could do this alone. “Donghyuck, we’re a team. We always cosplay together.”

You hear Donghyuck sigh and feel instantly terrible for making him feel bad when he’s already suffering so much. The stomach bug that came like a thief in the night took your poor best friend out before the morning of the con came, and you were left sitting dumbfounded on the edge of your bed, half a face of concealer and heavy, heavy contour having to take a backseat to the bad news. You had been in such a good mood today, too.

You’re about to reassure him that it’s alright, that you’ll clean up and stop by his place to check up on him later and, if he’s up for it, maybe even bring your laptop so the two of you can binge watch the new anime you’d both started together when Donghyuck cuts in suddenly, “I figured you’d say that, so I got to thinking… how would you feel if, say, someone else took my place?”

“Someone? Take your place? You sure whatever you caught isn’t invading your brain right about now?” Your nervous joke falls on deaf ears as Donghyuck’s wheels begin to turn.

“I’m serious. Have someone take my place as Egi at the con. Granted, you won’t find anyone with nearly as much charisma and personality as me but… it’s worth a shot, isn’t it?” “But who? People will know it isn’t you!” You honestly don’t mean to sound so indignant. Hell, you grimace right after complaining, but if there’s one thing you can’t warm up to, it’s the idea of a stranger taking Donghyuck’s place today.

You and Donghyuck had been doing this for years together, the two of you inseparable. Granted, there were times you did cosplay as other characters, but your interpretations of Greer and Egi were always top notch. Many a time would you find yourselves being praised on other cosplayers’ instagrams, people gushing about how realistically you both portray the characters compared to any other cosplayers they’d ever seen. You were a package duo always; anything that could disrupt the dynamic you both had was subject to distaste… until you were both two hours away from having to cancel a con you’d been promising your online following you’d be at for weeks. “I know people will know it isn’t me, but that’s not the point. It’s the characters that are the point. People are gonna be more focused on the costume than the person underneath anyway.”

“No, no… no. Do you remember all the different movie versions of Batman, Hyuck? Who plays the character matters.” Snorting, Donghyuck shifts the phone around while you whine. “This isn’t canon, edgelord. And it’s only for a few hours!”

The reminder of how long you’ll really be out there, half-heartedly cosplaying and meeting your followers only to have to inform them that no, that isn’t Donghyuck with you and yes, yes you are on the verge of an emotional breakdown because it feels all kinds of off looms over your head like a metaphorical storm cloud.

Maybe you were being dramatic?

…nah, not likely.

You’re so deep in your pity party that you just faintly pick up tapping on the other end of the phone, your attention quickly grabbed, “What’re you doing, Hyuck? What’s that sound?”

“I’m sending help your way, oh great warrior Greer. If you see a big dork in my outfit dawdling outside on your front porch in half an hour, don’t panic and let him in.” “But-” “(Y/N), you’ll be fine. And hey, he’s better than a total stranger.”

He? Donghyuck has already left the conversation by then, your next calls for clarification going straight to voicemail. Even your texts go read and ignored, the plotting little bastard. You had a plethora of cosplay friends but none of whom you could recall who were both not already cosplaying as someone else today and around Donghyuck’s size to wear his costume. For all you know, he could be sending someone like Jaemin or Jisung to your rescue.

Yours and Donghyuck’s cosplay life was no secret to your small group of high school friends, though it was fairly clear none of them were quite interested in it either. No one would bat an eyelash if you and Donghyuck had to cancel plans to go to the movies on the weekend because a con was coming up and the two of you wouldn’t miss it for the world. Aside from what you’d both upload on your instagrams, your friends didn’t delve too much into the world you two were enveloped in. In fact, the only one of them that actually did show interest was Mark.

Mark was the eldest of all your friends, sometimes out of place when he tried to act like it. Deep down he was just like all of you, just as confused about life as the rest of you. You would never go as far as to say he was a mature friend, far from it even, but he did always have such a calming aura about him that you didn’t often find in the rest of your group.

He was simple, sometimes incredibly naive, and easy to have fun with. He was also Donghyuck’s punching bag from time to time, but you’d seen the eldest snap back once in a while too. Where the others might tease you and Donghyuck about your cosplaying and be done with it, Mark would be attentive. He wouldn’t know the terms or the lingo but he’d always perk up when you’d mention how your outfit for (insert character he’s never heard of) was coming along, would even dare to ask you what it looks like so far. When you’d show him side by side pictures of the original and your creation, he’d always praise you on how identical they looked. Mark liked to see that spark in your eyes when you felt listened to by someone besides Donghyuck for once.

And maybe you liked Mark a bit. Maybe more than a bit.

Your crush was small, easy to hide and even easier to deny if the troublemakers of your group ever deigned to point out your lingering stares and unconscious smiles when Mark was in the midst of a story no one else was listening to. If it was that imperceptible, then you were confident Mark was none the wiser, and that’s all that mattered. God forbid you liked someone like Jaemin, what with his sixth sense being reading you like an open book.

You spend the next half hour in a fit of anxiety, forcing yourself to finish your makeup and getting dressed. Every moment you’re doing something repetitive, you find your thoughts drifting to who Donghyuck might have sent to go to the con with you. With each possible choice, your heart thumps louder in your chest. Who could he have possibly picked, and moreover, who would have even bothered to say yes to him?

You’re just about finished with setting on your wig when the doorbell rings, and you’re quick on your feet to go get it. Just as you get to the front door, you pause. You haven’t got the faintest idea what might be waiting for you on the other side of that door, of what might be lurking and deciding your fate for the rest of the day. You don’t know what you’re in for, and the only thing to do now is get it over with.

Tugging the door open tentatively, you’re met with the back of a head of shaggy chestnut hair haphazardly tucked into a bleach-blond braided wig. It’s clear that whoever Donghyuck had sent your way couldn’t have been able to get ready in half an hour on such short notice. They’re dressed in the armor that Donghyuck usually wears, and you can see the tiny details that had since been added to complete the look more. You’re unsure why they’re faced away from you, that is, until you hear a muttering voice saying “you can do this, you can do this” on repeat.

Your earlier anxiety is replaced with curiosity. You clear your throat to catch their attention and- oh.

With the makeup Donghyuck applied (heavy eyeliner, glimmering cheekbones doused in golden highlight, dramatic mascara), you almost don’t recognize Mark as Mark until his familiar voice reaches you, “H-Hyuck said you’d help with the wig…?”

“This place is so awesome- another Deadpool! That’s the third one we’ve seen since we got here!” You feel momentarily glad that a train of Spidermans (Spidermen?) haven’t come through yet because you’re fairly certain Mark would lose his absolute mind if they did. In fact, just as you think you’re in the clear, a cluster of them enter from one side of the con and you begin tugging Mark in the other direction before he can notice.

Honestly, showing Mark his first con is a bit like showing a baby their first “magic trick”; he’s all wide eyes and squealing, and while it’s freaking cute (I mean, how could anyone be that adorable while gushing over how realistic the fake blood looks on someone’s samurai sword?), you’re unfortunately in a perpetual state of worry, a feeling you haven’t felt since your first few conventions with Donghyuck. You worry that people will notice you, will want to take pictures of you, and you worry that those who recognize you will then recognize that the boy beside you is definitely not Donghyuck and be upset.

Mark had made it very clear on the ride to the con that he was more than happy to accompany you and take Donghyuck’s place, but he also placed great emphasis on the fact that he had absolutely no idea who he was dressed up as and would be more of a dead weight at your side than part of a complete pair. He’d stressed time and time again that he’d be willing to get on his bike and head home if you decided to go in alone, but by then you were receiving threatening texts from Donghyuck that promised more than just a royal smackdown if Mark turned up at his door before the day was over.

Why Donghyuck was so insistent on you attending the con with Mark was beyond you, but you very well couldn’t turn tail and run now.

The firecracker made an apologetic post before you arrived detailing the reasons he wouldn’t be attending, encouraging others to still seek you and your new “friend” out for pictures. He even asked to be tagged in them. It was almost like he was… no, that couldn’t be right, could it?

Whatever diabolical plan the kid had up his sleeve, you had other things to worry about.

“I know some of these characters,” Mark points out as you both stroll through the large room, completely tuned out to the shouted compliments he was receiving on his outfit, “maybe I should come to these things more often… but I don’t really have the talent to dress up like you and Hyuck.”

You just finish greeting a few people who recognize you when he says this. Glancing up at the boy, he doesn’t pay any mind with his arm hooked around your own, still surveying the room for things he’s familiar with.

“You don’t have to dress up to go to cons, Mark! They’re open to everyone.” You even point out a few people in jeans and tees, all having a fun enough time just being around people who like the same things they do, “It’s about having fun. Some people have fun in costumes, others not so much.”

“Well, yeah, but…” Mark trails off a little, making eye contact with you for a moment. You read him as being nervous, those gentle eyes not daring to look your way. You wonder if you’ve said something wrong. “…I don’t know. I wouldn’t mind going to something like this with you… and Hyuck too, of course… but I’d feel so out of place. You know? You guys go all out, like really all out.”

You aren’t able to ask him to elaborate on his thoughts because a pair of girls rush up to you immediately upon spotting you, calling your name with a mix of excitement and nerves. You shoot Mark an apologetic look for leaving him hanging and quickly greet the girls, the both of them asking if it’s alright to take photos. You grant them the permission, doing your character’s signature poses and even doing some silly selfies with the girls just for fun. Your nervousness of not having Donghyuck there is starting to melt away a bit, but leaving Mark all alone nudges at the back of your mind while you have all the fun.

You’re sending the girls off finally when you turn to find Mark standing like a deer in headlights, more than a few people standing around him and applauding his outfit. Some mention how he looks so much like Egi, others saying how he plays the stoic king perfectly. You’re glad they can’t tell because Mark is having a brain fart over what to say or do without you present and it’s really kinda cute.

You sidle up to the boy and he immediately slackens his tense shoulders when you start to speak, “Our friend made the outfit!”

One guy in leather pants and and slicked back hair is really impressed, shifting to the side while a greatsword hangs off his shoulder lazily, “That’s so cool. Can we get a pic of you two?”

Your knee jerk reaction is to say yes; you’re always proud to take photos in your costumes. After all, you put so much work into them. However, you quickly remember that this isn’t just you and Donghyuck right now, con veterans who get their pictures taken at every con like usual. Mark is new to this and has already voiced his uncertainty with “playing” the role of Egi.

Readying yourself to turn them down, you’re surprised when Mark suddenly chirps in instead with a “Sure!”

There’s a shaky smile on his face, the nerves very clear in his eyes but he does his damn best to hide it when you give him a concerned look. You ask him with your eyes if it’s really okay, and his answer is an almost too-tight grip on your waist with one hand while the other rises to make a peace sign. You and the others know that his character would never make such a gesture, but the entire group bursts into giggles at it anyway. They snap pics of you in a few more silly than serious poses and are on their way, thanking you for your time and disappearing to find the next cosplayer to talk to.

Mark doesn’t remember to release your side, his smile bordering on beaming, “That was actually really fun!”

How the mousy boy has suddenly found all the confidence in the world isn’t totally beyond you. You remember your first times cosplaying in public and being approached by so many kind people boosting your self-esteem that it made your nerves turn to mush and your excitement skyrocket. Even though Mark is red from his neck to his ears, he’s also grinning like an absolute fool. You can’t help but return the same enthusiasm, “Wanna walk around some more?”

He nods vigorously, tugging you along and bursting with questions about Egi all of a sudden (”How long has he been king? He’s in love with Greer, right? How did they fall in love?”). In between canon and non-canon explanations for it all, you get stopped by all kinds of people. You’re starting to lose count of the amount of pictures you’ve had taken, and Mark is so much more relaxed than when he first came in. You almost forget you’re not with Donghyuck… keyword: almost.

“Do you mind reenacting the kiss from season 3, episode 12? I always thought the kisses you and Donghyuck shared were so cute, but I haven’t seen you do this one yet!”

You’re aware that Mark is looking at you, but you’re frozen still. You had an inkling that you’d forgotten to tell him something important while showing Mark the pictures of you and Donghyuck cosplaying as Greer and Egi. Of course, the one thing you’d forget in your haste to get Mark all caught up on what he’d have to do was the one thing that actually mattered.

Every kiss you shared with Donghyuck was always innocent in nature and intention; never had you indulged in the fact that you and Donghyuck had lip-locked on more than one occasion all for the sake of the cosplay and staying in character. Silly kisses and reenactments for fans and photoshoots was all that it was, and at the end of the day, it meant nothing. Tons of cosplayers did the same all the time!

But, knowing that the others still followed your cosplay accounts to be the good friends that they were, neither you nor Donghyuck would ever post those kinds of pictures on your accounts. Ever. Which is why, when showing Mark your collection of photoshoots and the like, you had completely forgotten that some fans would ask for a quick kiss or two.

The fan’s smile seems to fall the longer it takes you to answer and she hastens to fix the atmosphere, “I-I’m sorry! I realized you’re with someone else this time but I still wanted to ask… I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you or anything.”

Desperately, you want to tell her you’re not offended at all. That it’s not her fault. That if you had remembered this tiny detail about your cosplaying (in your defense, it was always such a nonchalant part of the entire cosplay that you didn’t find the need in making a big deal about it anyway) and warned Mark about it or even let Mark go back home in favor of attending by yourself, you wouldn’t be stuck here gaping at her like a blowfish at the very thought of kissing Mark Lee, your Mark Lee, your crush-who-doesn’t-know-he’s-a-crush-and-neither-does-anyone-else-but-goddamn-Donghyuck crush. Well, at least the thought of doing so in a situation where the opportunity is actually there and not just a daydream of yours again.

The words refuse to leave your lips and now it’s just getting awkward. Are you sweating? You’re pretty sure you’re going to perspire right through the pound of makeup it took to give yourself Greer’s battle scars and shining skin.

“…episode 12, you said?” You hear Mark ask. You make out the fan showing him her phone with a picture of said kiss. You probably also remember watching that episode and fawning over it with Donghyuck over text when it first aired but now the entire thing is lost on you.

Next thing you know, Mark is carefully turning you around by a hold on your hips and you’re completely pliant as he does. A few people are standing around now, looking on, and is he…?

“Is this okay?” Mark asks, setting one hand on the back of your neck while his free arm hooks you around the middle loosely. He’s in position, but he isn’t putting in the work until you answer.

It’s okay, you find yourself thinking instead of actually saying, this is so okay. I also might have a stroke if you really put your mouth on mine so I hope that’s okay too.

In that moment, you’re absolutely certain that this was on Donghyuck’s mind since this morning. You know that he was prepared for it, picking Mark for more than just being available. No, you know he picked Mark because he knows you like him, and he knows you wouldn’t tell him that you and Donghyuck kiss in costume sometimes for people because you’d forget under the pressure of being alone with Mark like that and you wouldn’t have the heart to send him home when he was so excited to go with you, would you?

Damn you, Lee Donghyuck. Damn you for helping fulfill even the nerdiest of my fantasies and damn you Mark Lee for playing along without a worry in the world (and for looking so… kissable).

You give him the go ahead, a small nod and a fluttering of eyelashes. The arm around your middle tightens and wakes you from your dazed state just in time to feel the absolute wave that washes over you when Mark Lee kisses you. You’ve forgotten how to breathe, you think. Maybe it’s because Mark is taking all of the air when his lips meet yours and he kisses you like he was the one who’d rewatched that stupid kissing scene over and over. You aren’t deaf to the hoots and hollers of the crowd; no, you never kissed Donghyuck like this and anyone who’s ever seen you cosplay with him would know that well. But even if you and Mark are total strangers to this crowd, everyone who stopped to watch is cheering you on like you’d just slain the dragon and won the heart of the handsome fairy king like all those heroes in the cheesy fantasies.

Mark pulls back, still holding you to his armored chest, but it’s only then you realize that the things are super huge and really in the way when he’s not kissing you anymore. Despite his feigned-cool expression, he’s totally shy and redder than ever. He turns to the fan who is covering her mouth in surprise, “Was… that okay?”

“More than okay…” She breathes, and then sends a flurry of thank you’s your way and promises to tag you in the photos later. Somewhere in the midst of your after-kiss shock, Mark had given her his handle and she’d been on her way. The crowd of people watching began to disperse, though a few hung around to ask for pictures as well, politely waiting for the stars in your eyes to disappear. You really couldn’t focus on much when your lips still tingled the way they did.

Mark starts to get concerned when you continue to stare at him like he’s grown two heads, “Hey, are you alright? I’m sorry for how forward that kiss was but… I uh…” The poor boy begins to forget how to speak halfway through, glimmers of the Mark you know and love coming through, “Well, you know. Sorry.”

He looks away from you, absolutely shameful. “Why?”

He looks up again, lips parted, “Oh… because I kissed you like that.”

“But I wanted you to,” you say softly, hands furiously wringing each other out behind your back, “and… I wouldn’t have given you the go ahead if I didn’t.”

This was starting to sound a lot like a confession.

Mark studies you as you study him, the world around you practically nonexistent otherwise. Licking his lips, your eyes immediately follow the movement and you start to really miss them on yours. “I see.” He answers simply, at a loss. “Well, did you… like it?”

You nod, forcing yourself to look in his eyes for this part. Your mouth is moving on its own accord even as every cell in your body feels like it’s on fire. “Hyuck doesn’t quite kiss like that.”

Mark’s eyes widen at the sudden mention of Donghyuck, “Oh, um, that’s- that’s good. I mean not good! Interesting, I meant interesting. God, um… I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with the fact that I just… did that to you. You’re my friend! Though, friends can kiss each other from time to time, right? I mean, I like you too so there’s that but- I- wait. Uh. Sorry.”

It’s comforting to know that you’re not the most awkward person right now at least, but you know that if you aren’t careful, you might confess to more than just liking him back, “Would you… would you like it if we kept… doing that… between us? Because I wouldn’t mind that. At all.”

“What about your cosplay with Hyuck? That girl said it’s your thing… I don’t want to get in the way of that.” Mark, bless his soul, is more worried about your hobby than the fact that you want to kiss him and him only. You couldn’t fall more for this boy if you tried.

You twist back and forth in lieu of having something to do with your body that isn’t falling to the floor in a fit of nervous giggles and disbelief. If people got a photo of that, you’re certain you would be no more, “If I’m being honest, I’d really rather kiss you more than Donghyuck anyday.” “Oh? That’s good. That’s… that’s… good. Yeah, I’d rather you kiss me too.”

☂️I received these products for free from @influenster & @elfcosmetics in exchange for my honest review. ☂️I really liked the makeup packaging here, but lets see what I think of the actual products…👀 💗ELF Big Mood Mascara: $7 💗Liquid Metalic Eyeshadow: $5 💗Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow: $5 💗Enhancing Lash/Brow Serum: $8 ☂️My Thoughts: 💗Lets start with the mascara, cause for me it’s a HOT MESS. Starting with the size of the brush, it’s ridiculously huge, making it impossibly to not get clumpy/spider lashes. The formula is super thick which I hate. When I used this (wiping MOST of the product off), I could FEEL how stiff & thick it made my lashes feel, & it looked awful. I couldn’t get them even, just super clumpy/cakey. I tried this 2 times & had to immediately remove it I hated it so much. Also the amount of flaking, even within 5 mins of applying, is INSANE. HARD NO. 💗The liquid eyeshadows didn’t wow me either. Now it could be I’m not using them correctly but I tried them both on their own, & as toppers. I noticed that the applicator makes it hard to control, 7 when I tried to blend, it just slid around loosing it’s pigment & getting splotchy. 💗The gold metallic was ok, but not very good. The purple glitter made me feel too much like 90’s-00’s & it just moved all over the place. 💗The serum is something that takes time to notice, so I’m not sure if it even did anything, I think I noticed my eyebrows ever-so-slighty thicker, but nothing with my lashes sadly. ☂️Overall this is probably the worst makeup set I’ve tried. I’ve always liked ELF but I wasn’t into these at all. ☂️My Rating: Mascara: 0/5 Gold Shadow: 2/5 Purple Glitter Shadow: 0/5 Serum: 2/5 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3BcCPrL

"Awww look at my little elf!" (Rumbelle + Gideon)

Elf Esteem

Summary: Belle is delighted with Gideon’s special Christmas outfit, but Rumple is less than enthused.A/N: Winter/Holiday Prompt#7: “Awww look at my little elf!” (Rumbelle + Gideon) Hope you enjoy this bit of Gold Family fluff!Rated: G Word Count: 1300+

ON AO3

Gideon yanked on thelittle brass bell at the tip of his shoe, then giggled at its merry tinkle forat least the twenty-fifth time. “Giddy do!” he cried, and rewarded his mamawith a huge, gummy smile that flashed four pearly, tiny white teeth, two on thetop and two on the bottom.

“Awww, look at mylittle elf!” she cooed. “So handsome in his Christmas outfit!”

He clapped his handsand squealed at her praise. At fifteen months, he was big enough now tounderstand almost everything they said—and he was particularly attentive wheneveraccolades were involved.

Climbing to his feeton unsteady legs, he toddled from the coffee table where he was playing withhis blocks over to the towering Christmas tree in the corner of the den.

“Giddy do?” he asked,blinking liquid chocolate eyes framed by ridiculously long, thick lashes thatmost eyelash-curling, mascara-wielding women would envy.

Belle could barely contain her chuckle at the hopeful expression on hislittle face as a chubby palm cupped one of the red glass ornaments on thebottom branches of the tree. “Ooooooh,” he gurgled, and Belle stifled anothergiggle; she knew laughing would only encourage his antics.

“No, sweetheart.” She gently pried his fingers loose from the shinybauble. “Don’t touch.”

As a compromise, Belleoffered him a stuffed Santa bear holding a festive felt replica of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, andGideon grabbed onto the fluffy white pom-pom on the top of his cap and stuffedthe ball of fur in his mouth.

“Belle?” Rumplecalled. She tilted her head, listening for the light thump of his footfallscoming up the basement steps. “Sweetheart, where are you?”

“The den,” she shoutedback. “Playing with Gideon.”

“There you are,” hesaid with a smile, “and there’s my-” He pulled up short, skidding to a halt infront of the sofa when he spotted Gideon chewing on his bear.

Belle beamed at hisobvious surprise and gazed at their son as he gnawed on the fluffy Santa hat.Gideon’s green velvet jacket and shorts were trimmed in gold, as was his redand green hat. A little red bow tie, peppermint buttons, and petite elf shoeswith tiny brass bells at the tips completed the look. Perhaps the white and redstriped tights were a bit much, but it was the holidays, and extravagance wasthe name of the game. “Don’t you love it?”

Gideon flung the toy bearacross the room. “Fly!” he shouted, “like wain-deew.” He took off one of hiscurly elf shoes and shook it, giggling again at the little bell’s high-pitchedring, then took off toward the toy box in search of another treasure.

“It’s…well.” Rumplepinched the bridge of his nose.

“Yes?” Belleencouraged, her smile widening.

“It’s a little whitetrash is all,” he said, picked up the discarded elf shoe and giving it a shake. “And is this what was producing that annoyingtinkling noise? I could hear it all the way down in the basement while I was atthe wheel. I could barely spin!”

Her good moodevaporated like snow on a warm winter day. “Oh. Well excuse me, Mr. Gold.”

He winced at her haughtytone. “Belle, no, you’re getting the wrong idea. What I mean to say is that Iwould prefer to see him in something a bit more dignified.”

She sent him a glaredesigned to melt the lights on the Christmas tree. Him and his dignified blue pinstripe suit and his patheticexcuse for backpedaling.

“Dignified, is it?” Shemarched toward the toy box and scooped Gideon up in a huff. “Don’t hold backfor my sake, Rumple.”

He winced again. “Sweetheart,you asked for my opinion. You said, ‘Don’t you love it?’”

“I was being polite!”

“So you don’t want to know what I think?”

Belle shrugged,feeling hurt and confused. “It wouldn’t hurt you to lie once in a while.” Shepatted Gideon’s bottom and tried to rock him, more to soothe herself than him, buthe squawked and squirmed in her arms, so she set the little bundle of energy onhis feet with a longsuffering sigh.

“Giddy do, Da-da!” he hollered, then chased down the stuffed teddy andhurled him across the room once more.

Belle turned back toRumple, a ball of anxiety curdling in her gut.

“Lie? he repeated, hisbrow furrowed in confusion. “But I thought honesty was ‘the foundation of asolid marriage.’ That’s what Hopper always says when he’s droning on and on inthose interminable sessions.”

Tears stung her eyesand she sniffled. “You know I love Archie, and counseling has done wonders forour family, but fantastic as he is, he’s a single man who’s never had a baby.What the hell does he know about hormones?”

“Hormones?” Alarm flashedin his eyes, then it quickly dissolved into compassion. “This conversation isn’treally about the elf outfit, is it?”

“No,” she said,beginning to cry in earnest because he was so damn clueless and brilliant allat the same time and she couldn’t decide if she wanted to smack him or kiss thebewildered look off his stupid, handsome, wonderful face. So she settled formore tears. “It’s about the fact that we’re going to have another baby…” shehiccupped “…and you don’t think I make good choices!”

“What?!” His mouthdropped open in shock.

“See? And now you’re looking at me like I have twoheads. I’ll just be your fat, silly, undignified wife person who has two heads!”she wailed, giving into sobs and collapsing on the sofa.

“Oh, sweetheart,” sheheard him say, and through her blubbering, she felt the cushion beside her dipas he sat down beside her. “My darling, precious Belle.”

He gathered her intohis arms and she melted against him. For long moments he held her, stroking herhair, his warm breath against her temple and his brogue soft and melodic. Againand again he told her how special she was, how happy she’d made him, and howvery, very much he loved her.

A while later, helifted her chin and she rubbed her wet eyes. She was sure they were red-rimmedand that her cheeks were smudged with mascara, but it didn’t matter. His owneyes were glistening and his mouth was stretched into an outrageous grin. “When?I mean, how long have you known?”

“I took the test thismorning.” She took his pocket square out of his suit jacket and wiped her nose.“It’s upstairs on our bathroom counter.”

“And you’re sure?”

She huffed an unamusedlaugh. “I swear my ankles are already swelling like marshmallows in a mug ofhot chocolate.” She looked around,suddenly realizing she’d lost track of Gideon. “He fell asleep next to the toy box,” Rumple said, following her gaze. “Look.”

Their little cherub wascurled up in a ball, clutching the abused stuffed bear against his chest. Hereleased a deep, dreamy sigh, the kind only a slumbering child could make.

“Lucky thing he’s notreally one of Santa’s elves,” Rumple said. “Sleeping on the job the week beforeChristmas? It just isn’t done.”

She giggled. “Rightyou are. I’ll take the outfit off as soon as he wakes up. We’ll get himsomething proper and gentlemanly for Christmas.”

“Please don’t, Belle. Ithink I was wrong about the elf ensemble.” He grinned. “He looks ratheradorable, actually.”

She narrowed her eyes.“You’re not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?”

“I’m really not, love.And I do think you make good choices.”He drew her head back down to his shoulder. “Other than that rotten husband ofyours. You should throw him out on the next trash day.”

“Never!” she whisperedfiercely, grinning against his neck. “He’s the most amazing, supportive husbandin the world.”

“You’re not justsaying that to make me feel better, are you?” he echoed with a teasing smile.

She blinked innocently.“I always tell you the truth.”

“Indeed.” Rumplesplayed his hands over her still-flat tummy, and the look of wonder in his eyesmade her heart skip a beat. “I have a feeling this one’s going to be a girl,”he confided. “One with a spirit as beautiful as her mother’s.”

6, 16, 13, 20, 10, 9, and 7

Oooh chile she loong long,,,

6 (describe your personality in 3 words or less)

Hmmm... motherly, yet chaotic. Lol

16 (favorite makeup brands):

I love elf’s mineral infused primer, it’s affordable and it works super well AND it’s good for ya skin. I have a couple of maybeline mascaras I like a lot, revlons color stay skinny eyeliner, I don’t actually own the James charles x morphe palette (I’m poor lmao) but my friend does and I’ve used it a few times and WOW she pigmented!!! I usually stick to elf’s mad for matte summer breeze palette and a tiny Clinique neutral glitters sample one. And the maybelene fit me foundation! And I have a Bobbi brown creme blush, but it’ll slide off if you put it on your nose and keep it in too long. Nyx also has great eyeliner pencils, normally I’m more of a liquid liner gal but they’re really smooth and pigmented

13 (any siblings?)

I have a half brother (literally a brother from another mother) and a family friend has a daughter whose two years younger than me who’s basically my little sister. (That’s jo🥺)

20 (how tall are you)

... well, legally I’m 5ft2... because I tiptoed... but I’m 5ft1 (give or take 155cm) (again...supposedly...)

10 (how would you describe your style?)

Honestly? I wish I could... I don’t have a set aesthetic... I can’t stick to one thing. I dress kinda cottagecore witch-meets disgruntled emo lesbian-meets six year old child with a dash of urban, like, street fashion? With k fashion sprinkled along in and granny-chic. It’s.. I’m all over the place. Depends on the mood I wake up in.

9 (where do you shop?)

Uhhhhh it depends, honestly. For food? Heb and Costco. I’ve gotten some socks from Costco but not actual clothes, for clothes it’s usually a combo of amazon, target when I get gift cards, when the like 60-80% sales go on at jc penny’s or Dillard’s I’ll go sometimes, I thrift very rarely but I do, and I get like plain tshirts or things to diy from Walmart. And shoes (HUGE shoe addict here) dsw has sale racks at insane low prices for name brands, or I’ll hit up again sale racks right after like a big holiday or at the end of a season when things get marked down.

7 (what color hair do you have?)

Ajsjdnxjid this question is the bane of my existence mainly Bc I would LOVE to dye my hair but my hair is naturally really pretty in summer?? Like I have “brown” hair or whatever right, but whenever I’m in the sun for 0.2 milliseconds, the top layer turns blonde? And like the bottom layers are always a rlly dark brown but sometimes I get like... naturally red hairs too? Some people call it coppery but it’s not like a penny.. it’s like a really old gross parking lot penny. Brown but with pizzaz.. if that makes sense lmao

#get to know me!#ask game #get to know your wife LMAO #i ate a faaaaaat lunch now im full and i have another class so i cant nap :(((#fanks fo playin luv♥️#fate💍

Permanent Makeup: The Freedom of Permanent Cosmetics

You will love waking up each day with the color in your lips, on your eyes, and your eyebrows perfectly in place. No smudging, smearing, or washing off after showering or swiming. No wearing off at the end of a long day. Imagine the time you will save in front of the mirror in applications and touch-ups. Permanent cosmetic procedures should be performed by a master certified cosmetic artist for best results.

This is a state of the art method of appling natural pigment to the dermal layer of the skin. This technique was medically developed and specifically designed for the complete safety of various procedures such as eye brows, eyeliner, lip liner, lip color, scar camouflage, areola restoration, vitiligo, freckles and stretch marks.

Permanent cosmetics can be applied to look natural for the enhancemnet of your own personal features. This allows you the freedom to achieve a more dramatic look with the application of regular makeup as your mood dictates.

This new technology of makeup will impress those of us who are so busy, as well as the client with oily skin, who's makeup had faded or rubbed off by the end of the day. Anyone allergic to the use of regular makeup will find this procedure extremely beneficial.

Both men and women will look their best at all times, no matter how busy their lifestyles have become. Prices range from $400 and up per procedure. Many upscale Spas, including Jon Tomas Salon & Spa in St. Louis,MO, have a permanent cosmetic artist on staff.

Experience the freedom of permanent cosmetics for yourself!

Makeup Review: E.L.F.'s Eyeshadow Duo

Ordering makeup online is risky. You don't know how the product feels on your skin, if you like the quality, and so much more. There are questions that you want answered before you throw money into a product. I try to answer your questions about makeup products before you purchase. I have personally purchased and tested each product I review to optimize your overall opinion.

Right now we are going to take a peek at e.l.f.'s eyeshadow duo. This is a product recently developed by e.l.f. During this review we are going to take a look at the colors, texture, and application life.

Colors:

I had purchased e.l.f.'s eyeshadow duo creams a couple months back and got each color. When I was buying these eyeshadow duo's I noticed the colors were identical to e.l.f.'s duo creams. There's a total of six duo's available for purchase right now: Butter pecan, olive, mocha swirl, blueberry, berry mix, and black licorice.

I was very pleased with the colors because they were highly pigmented. Unlike most other e.l.f. eyeshadow products, these shadows were actually rather matte. There was a little shimmer to each color, but not a lot. The eyeshadow duo's were actually a breath of fresh air.

Texture:

Texture is a very big part of an eyeshadow to me and it should be to you as well. Skin around the eye is very sensitive and can easily be damaged by the slightest pulling, poking, and prodding. You want to ensure the makeup you apply to the eye area is very gentle and mild.

E.l.f.'s shadow duo is a friendly bunch to the eye. The texture is very soft and subtle. I like to test shadow products on my ring finger before my eye, and, needless to say, I was very happy with the results on both my finger and eyelid.

This shadow did not crease and it did not flake. It is very easy to work with in the blending area. Since each shadow comes partnered with another shadow of the like, you can easily form a new look each day.

Application life:

I was very impressed with the application life of these shadows. Most shadows I purchase online turn out to be very cheap and an overall waste of money. Not with these.

I judged this shadow in three different ways: with concealer, with primer, and on bare skin. Each of these application processes are used on a daily basis.

· On bare skin - I got approx. four hours of full application life from this duo. There was a little fading on the lighter shadows during this time, but not too much.

· On concealer - I applied a concealer before application and it only caused creasing, so I would not recommend doing that.

· On primer - I put the primer on before the shadow and got a lot better results. I got approx. five hours of full wear.

All-in-all, it's a good shadow for the price and I would recommend adding it to your makeup collection.

You can find this product starting from $5.00 at Amazon:

e.l.f. DuoEyeshadow, Butter Pecan, 0.34 Ounce - $5.95

e.l.f. DuoEyeshadow, Black Licorice, 0.34 Ounce - $5.90

E.L.F. Duo EyeshadowBlueberry - $5.00

e.l.f. Duo EyeshadowSet with Brush and Pencil, Night - $8.90

How to Pull Off the No Makeup Look Successfully

Ever wanted to try to walk out in public without wearing any makeup and not feel embarrassed or even almost naked at the same time? Don't be shy anymore, here are a few tips to get you started in the right direction of letting your face be "au naturale".

First of all make sure your face is cleansed thoroughly. Any dirty residue can make your facial skin appear dull or blotchy. I would recommend using the facial bar soap by Clinique that fits your skin type to make sure your skin is squeaky clean without drying it out. Afterwards follow up with a toner and moisturizer (I would also recommend using ones by Clinique as well). If you have fairer skin or are going to be outside for a longer period of time, make sure you use a moisturizer that has a good amount of SPF for protection against the sun's damaging effects, especially on your bare skin.

Do you have dark circles on your eyes or have puffy eyes? Soothe them with a de-puff eye gel such as the all natural Yes To Cucumbers brand. It goes on clear and leaves no trace of residue behind and does an excellent job of calming down the eye area. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before to prevent this from happening in the first place.

Make sure everything is neat about your face, especially your eyebrows. Keep your eyebrows tame with a tweezer, but try to do this the night before to avoid red, irritated skin on your upper eye area.

You hair plays a major part in giving you that fresh look. Make sure hair is not messy and all over the place or else it will contribute to a disarrayed, "I don't really care about my looks" appearance. A simple neat ponytail or your hair combed neatly will simply do the trick.

Do you have acne prone skin and simply cannot risk walking out showing off your blemishes for the whole wide world to see? Invest in a concealer specially formulated with salicylic acid that matches the exact skin tone of your skin and lightly dab it on to your blemishes, but don't over do it or else it will be obvious that you something foreign on your face. You can follow up with a tinted SPF moisturizer to make sure your skin tone looks even. Do you have sparse eyelashes and don't want to appear tired? Brighten them by using clear mascara on your lashes to still achieve the natural look.

Makeup Additives - Do You Know What You're Putting on Your Face?

In today's society many women apply makeup every morning before they leave the house but how many people really know what they're putting on their face?

Do you know what each additive does in your cosmetics? These are six additives found in makeup that you may not know their purpose: benzethonium chloride, candelilla wax, cetyl alcohol, para aminobenzoic acid, propylene glycol, and triethanolamine.

When you buy makeup you should always check the label to make sure that there is some sort of preserving agent that will prevent germs from growing. One of the most common preservatives and antiseptic compounds found in makeup is benzethonium chloride.

Candelilla wax is found in lipstick and lip balms and is what allows them to harden. Candelilla wax is derived from the leaves and stems of the candelilla shrub found in the southwestern states and northern Mexico.

The majority of additives that are used in makeup are found in foundation. Cetyl alcohol is an emollient, meaning it is used in makeup to soften and smooth the skin to which it is applied. This is used in foundations to create a soft look on the face.

Para aminobenzoic acid which is sometimes abbreviated to PABA used to be commonly found in foundations that offer sunscreen protection from UV rays. But according to the National Institute of Health: National Library of Medicine (2007), this compound isn't commonly used anymore since it has been found to increase the risk of skin cancer in certain people whose bodies are not able to repair cellular defects caused by this acid.

Another additive found in many foundations is propylene glycol which helps prevent your skin from drying out when applying makeup by retaining it's own moisture. This organic compound is also commonly used in body and facial moisturizers, not just makeup.

Triethanolamine stearate is an emulsifying agent used in foundations and other cosmetics to combine oil and water for a smooth appearance. This organic chemical compound can also be used as a pH balancer and is found in other beauty products, besides makeup, it is found in lotions, shaving foam, and shampoos.

These six additives are only some of those which you will find in the makeup you put on your face everyday and now you can feel a little more confident about what you're using. If your makeup has other additives in the ingredients, don't worry, cosmetic manufacturers use different products but FDA regulations prohibit the use of additives which may be dangerous in US produced makeup.

Hmm... Glanni being grumpy and Ithro being sweet and cuddling his moody bf to make him feel better? :3c (prompt)

“Do you need anything else, gentlemen?”

“Ah, no, we’re good. Thank you very much, Miss. Have a good rest of your day.”

Once their dinner bill had been paid, Ithrottaalfurrin got up, holding his hand out for his boyfriend to take before they headed back outside.

He was pleased when Glanni silently took his offered hand, and they were out the door.

As they got in the car, the elf smiled softly while he buckled his seat belt, reflecting on their evening. He would say that tonight’s dinner date had been a success. Although Glanni hardly ever turned down the hero’s proposals for a night out together, getting Glanni in just the right mood for it to be enjoyable for the both of them was a bit more tricky.

His lover was…a character, alright. Anything between prickly or completely apathetic, depending on the weather and the position of the stars. But today had been good. He didn’t just sit there tonight and pretend to listen to him, seeming to just go along with everything for the sake of it like he sometimes did. And he had to say, Glanni did a good job behaving today. They went through dinner without any “incidents”, and were able to hold a nice conversation throughout, without any temper flares or inappropriate behavior.

Glanni really had been getting better, in these past couple months.

He turned to look at the other man, putting the keys into the ignition. “Do you want to watch a movie when we get home?”

Glanni shrugged. “Sure.”

“Alright.” The elf nodded. “What are you feeling tonight? Comedy? Or would you rather watch something more-” just then, he froze, catching eye with something that Glanni was holding in his hands- “…Glanni,” he sighed. “What is that?”

“This?” He blinked up at him, holding up a little green coffee mug. “It’s a mug,” he answered simply, as if there were all there was to it; that it was JUST a mug, just HIS mug. But Ithro knew the wiser.

He sighed again, making a short, quiet noise of disapproval. “That came from the restaurant, didn’t it?”

“Yeah. So?”

“Glanni. That’s NOT yours to take.”

“Oh come on, it’s JUST a mug.” The ex-convict rolled his eyes a little, as if it were the ELF who was acting unreasonable. “They’ll hardly notice it’s gone, let alone miss it.”

At that, Ithro shook his head somewhat tiredly, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “…Having little monetary value doesn’t make taking things any less unacceptable,” he explained to him. He felt a bit like a broken record, as he told him what he had told him a couple times before. “Now I have to go in there and give it back to them.”

Glanni’s nonchalant attitude quickly faded away as the elf snatched the mug from his hands. His brows furrowed and he glared daggers at him, letting out a string of explicit curses. “DON’T-”

“I see that they’re full; empty your pockets.”

The man in mascara huffed as he emptied his pockets of all its contents, throwing each object he had swiped at the other’s feet- two spoons, a butter knife, a small decorative wooden figure, …and someone’s cell phone.

Ithro would’ve lectured his boyfriend on his deft hands, if this were the first time something like this had happened. But no, he had thought too soon that tonight had went without a hitch and was all too used to such incidents creeping up on him when he thought that all had been going well. Once again, he scooped up the stolen items, giving the other one last tired, albeit disappointed look. “Stay here.”

He got out of the car and hurried for the restaurant, and even from outside, he could still hear his boyfriend screaming inside of the car.

********************************

Several embarrassed apologies for his boyfriend’s behavior later, Ithro climbed back into the car, to find Glanni still sitting in the passenger’s seat with his shoulders haunched and his arms crossed, not bothering to look at him when he turned the engine back on. Actually, Glanni turned his head AWAY from him, choosing to stare out the window instead. But Ithro could still see Glanni’s face in its reflection, contorted into a sour expression.

He sighed. “Glanni…what was I supposed to do? I HAD to give everything back. We didn’t even need all of that stuff-”

“Just SHUT UP!” Glanni snapped, shoving the elf in the arm. “S H U T U P!”

He shoved him again, and although he never actually hurt him whenever that happened, Ithro still knew that it would be best not to press further until they got home; Glanni was more likely than not pretty bent on not wanting to listen to a word he said right now.

“Fine. I’m just saying…I just needed to do what was right-” He said, beginning to back out of their parking space.

“Oh my GOD, I told you to SHUT UP!” Glanni threw his hands in the air, and then unbuckled his seatbelt, getting out of the car as Ithro was STILL backing out, and he began to walk off.

“GLANNI!” He rolled open a window, calling out his name, but he kept walking further and further away. “Where are you going?!”

“Home. FUCK YOU,” he shouted from across the parking lot, before stepping through some bushes and out of sight.

But Ithro did not have to wait even a minute until Glanni’s return, storming right back into the car.

“Home is too far away,” he grumbled, putting his seatbelt back on. “Take me home.”

Ithro had to stifle a snort as he drove out of the parking lot.

Glanni roared, LITERALLY ROARED at him, and they drove the rest of the way home in dead silence.

**********************

Not a word was spoken between them the rest of the ride home, with Glanni remaining in the passenger’s seat seething and with his arms crossed all while sitting in a dramatic and childishly angry position, and Ithro behind the wheel, trying not to grip it too hard. This wasn’t their first quiet ride home, but it didn’t make it any less awkward and uncomfortable.

As soon as they got home and out of the car, Glanni made an immediate bee-line to their bedroom, slamming the door behind him.

Well, he made it pretty clear that the elf was NOT to come in- at least not yet, anyway. That was fine; he’ll give him some time to cool down. Hopefully, he’ll listen to what Ithro had to say once he did, and he’ll try explaining to him again why he needed to return everything he stole from the restaurant, and Glanni may or may not listen to him and actively try to control himself a bit more next time- …or he could just say “yeah yeah,” and brush him off- he was a bit of a wild card when it came to things like that. …But still, Ithro felt like he had to approach him a bit more carefully this time. His reaction to being caught this time around was even more severe than usual tonight, for whatever reason.

After half an hour of patient waiting, he finally approached their bedroom door. “Glanni?” He knocked a couple times, opening it ajar, JUST enough to peer inside.

“Go away.” The taller man had taken refuge underneath the covers, his long legs appearing to be curled up underneath in a fetal position. The blanket covered him completely, save the very top of his head, with just his hair sticking out.

Despite the fact that he still acted like he didn’t want to be talked to, the hero still took the fact that he was back to using an inside voice as some sort of progress and quietly invited himself inside- after all, this was HIS bedroom too. “Glanni…can I just sit here?” He replied with nothing but a grunt, and since Ithro couldn’t accurately pinpoint what that meant, he decided to take it as a yes, and sat down at the edge of the opposite side of the bed.

Glanni groaned even louder. “Sit somewhere else. I’M using the bed.”

“But this bed is big enough for two people to be on,” he replied. He looked down at the man curled up underneath the blankets and he sighed. “Glanni dear, PLEASE…” he pleaded, tugging at the blankets and trying to pull them away from his face so he could talk to him, but was only met with a hand slapping him away.

“Fuck off!” He growled at him for a second time that day, glaring at him with red eyes that took the elf aback before pulling the blankets all the way up over his head once more.

…Why were his eyes red? It almost looked as if…as if Glanni had been CRYING. …But that didn’t compute to him. Crying was something that Glanni never really did often, something he’s hardly witnessed in all this time that he’s known him. Actually, ITHRO could be considered the bigger crier of the two, even. But alas, it must be so, …considering that he noticed that his eye makeup had smeared. …Was Glanni really THAT mad at him? To the point of tears?

He sat criss-cross atop the mattress, fingers running over his mustache in contemplation. …Dating Glanni had proven to be quite a ride. It wasn’t entirely a bad one- after all, he’s stuck around in the long-run for a REASON. But, it did have its bumpy roads. There was a lot that has been thrown at him throughout this relationship, but this time…he wasn’t really sure what came next.

“…Glanni,” he finally began, taking a deep breath. “I understand that you’re upset, but we couldn’t just-”

“Just SHUT UP!”

Glanni popped his head out from under the covers, causing the elf to jolt in surprise.

“I KNOW what you’re going to FUCKING SAY, and DON’T even START,” he snapped, his eyes condensating, but he fought to keep it at the corners of his eyes. “I’m TIRED of your SHIT, Álfur! STOP trying to be my fucking keeper all the time!”

He took back to hiding, and realization slapped Ithro straight across the face. He saw a whole new look in his eyes- not one of anger…but of GUILT. As he saw him ball himself up tighter underneath the sheets, Ithro bit his lip, feeling one part of his heart melt, and another part break. For once, the elf was not the wiser, making assumptions about him and acting on his behalf without even giving the other a chance to think for himself, …for having underestimated his lover when he thought he was overestimating. There were SO MANY things that he expected from a wild card like Glanni, …but feeling bad about what he had done for once was something that Ithro had never considered.

“Oh, Glanni…” the elf laid down next to lump hiding under the covers. “…Do you really think that I only see you as someone to keep watch of? Glanni dear, you’re not my responsibility; you’re my BOYFRIEND- ….please come out and look at me?”

“No,” the lump mumbled, scooting further away from him, only for the elf to wrap his arms around it, not caring a bit when it began to squirm.

“Please Glanni dear, ithrottir nammi of my eye?” He settled himself right on top of him, giving the blankets a gentle tug. “I’m sorry if I frustrated you by rubbing this in your face at all…I promise that I’ll stop acting like your keeper, alright?” Glanni peeked up at him through the covers, and Ithro offered up the warmest smile he could manage. “…But you need to promise me that you’ll put a little more care into thinking about what you’re doing, okay? Put just as much care in yourself as there is care that I have for you. Okay?” He asked him. Glanni grunted, not pulling the covers off of himself, but not pulling them back up either.

“Is that a deal?” He asked again, leaning over to plant a nice smooch on his boyfriends forehead.

Glanni grunted again, neither nodding nor shaking his head in response.

“Oh come on. You’re still not going to talk to me?” The elf pouted, tugging the blanket down so that he could see the rest of his face.

The moment the elf whipped out the puppy-dog eyes, Glanni didn’t even blink twice. “Suck a cock.”

“I’ll do it, if it’ll make you feel better,” Ithro offered, tugging the blanket halfway off of the taller man’s body. “Glanni, I just want to lay down and talk with you…” he said, splaying himself across the other’s body, arms and legs down wrapped around him.

Glanni whined and grumbled underneath him. “Stop…”

“No,” the elf replied shortly, sticking out his lower lip again. “It’s MY turn to say no now.” he told him, nuzzling his head against his chest. “No.”

“Ugh, now you’re just being annoying-”

“You know, …I actually thought our date tonight went quite nicely,” he ignored him, planting a row of sweet kisses across his jaw. “I love it when we just TALK. …I think I even caught you smiling for me once or twice. And you got all dressed up too and did your makeup and you looked AMAZING-” “Álfur-” He scrunched up his face.

“The best part though,” he went on as he continued assaulting him with kisses, “was that I got you to eat a cherry tomato-” he grinned. “That was HOT- Watching you eat well is my kink-”

“ÁLFUR-”

“Kiss me.”

Glanni just shook his head at him, but Ithro wouldn’t stop. After what was about 50 wet, tickley mustache kisses too many, Glanni finally rolled his eyes and caved, turning his head slightly to give the elf a little kiss on the cheek.

“Mmm, thank you Glanni, that was very nice.” He settled his head back on his slim chest, pulling the blankets over the both of them so that they were nice and snug.

Glanni snorted. “Congrats, you cuted yourself into what you wanted AGAIN- you happy?” He asked the elf, petting the sweet spot behind his ears.

“Mmm~” He purred. He was indeed, glad that they could just put this behind them for now and not let it completely spoil their date night.
