Deco my tree
Tagged by the lovely @supernovasimplicity!
How to play:
Decorate the tree in the post you were tagged in (and you can leave a little message in there for the OP, that will be opened on Christmas Day);
Create your own tree, post it and tag others;
Tell us how you'll be spending the holidays (or don't tell us, also fine);
Link to the post(s) that tagged you so that others can decorate their trees too!
No pressure to do anything at all but I'll tag @c-l-y-d-e @starrla89 @investingingrayhairs @snake-and-mouse @annundriel @notheretoperch @upside-down-roses @stardustyspringfield-o-flowers @lelephantsnail @betweenbutterflies @antaresia @adanceinasnowglobe @classycoffeecat @andorianimpostor @awff7
My holidays are different than usual this year. I already did Christmas with my family on Sunday since I'm seeing one of my best friends in Arizona over Christmas weekend! Since my job gives all of us the week between Christmas and New Year's off without needing to use PTO I'll also be going to San Diego on the way back home. It'll be a nice way to end what was a shitty year for me tbh, but having you all here on tumblr has definitely helped a lot! ♥

For your silly Descendants prompts, the core four see Ben's room?
And they find out he can play the drums apparently?
So, yeah, here it is!
Core four visiting Ben’s room! Carlos, Jay and Evie being mildly chaotic Isle menaces, and Mal, unfortunatelly, well on her way to her D2 breakdown. They also start the process of getting more Isle kids off, starting with the de Vil cousins and Jade.
I realise that the characterisation might be all over the place, but I hope you enjoy anyway! ♥
Ben’s bedroom
It’s Carlos’s first time ever visiting Ben’s dorm room, as far as the young king and the campus guards are concerned anyway.
But come on: Carlos is an Isle kid.
And saying „You can’t go there,“ to an Isle kid? You could as well wave about a giant flag proclaiming „Free real estate,“ and „It’s a dare!“
Now, all of this is not to be discussed, though, as neither he nor Evie didn’t nick anything,and Jay surely isn’t gonna get caught.
(Look, with the insane amount of stuff that is just laying around here, practically asking to be stolen? Hardly anyone is gonna notice anyway.)
And Mal? Well,Mal apparently has a blanket approval to visit Ben’s bedroom whenever she wants.
Carlos wonders what the school staff has to say about this, and decides that if they are smart, they probably won’t say a word. When they might be overheard anyway.
But enough empty talk about nothing!
Carlos steps over the threshold with a practised polite smile at his face, and doesn’t bother not looking around, as he and Evie agreed that it might be more suspicious.
If anyone in Auradon cared, that is.
Speaking of Evie: She walks in just after him, followed by Jay, and she briefly touches his hand, letting the touch linger just a tiny bit.
Mal is already waiting inside, smiling, and clearly excited to be spending time with both her boyfriend and her friends.
Well, Carlos doesn‘t want to crush her dreams, but what happens, happens, right?
He smiles back at her, and then turns at Ben:
„Nice room you have here, man,“ he says. He can’t help but to be impressed, and honestly, little jealous.How could he not, having grown on the Isle? How could he not, when he knows that his cousins are still at that hellish place?
The Isle is always at his mind, in more ways than once.
„Love the colours!“ adds Evie. He, personally, finds the favoured Auradon combination of dark blue and gold a bit plain, not to mention: Pastels? Really?
He knows what Ivy and Diego would have to say about those, but he just wrinkles his nose and looks his other way. No insulting the king right now, remember?
„Wait, is that a walk-in closet?“
Of course Evie would get distracted by that.
„Um, yeah?“ Ben says, blush creeping up his cheeks.
Evie immediately sets off to explore it, and Ben awkwardly follows behind.
„Cool,“ says Carlos off-handedly, „I used to sleep in one of those.“
Coincidentally, at the same moment, Jay manages to knock something over and distract the prince. Pure accident, you see.
Evie, however, isn’t feeling like being a diplomat today.
The difference between Auradon and Isle is really grating on her nerves, she complained about it just yesterday.
And the day before that.
And the day before that.
Well.
You get the picture.
„Oh!“ she pipes up, already half-way in the closet, „I hope you won’t try to kill me in this one, Mal! It would be such a pity – I mean, look at this suit, that is a work of art!“
„Thank you, Lumiere made that one for me. I’ll give him your compliments,“ answers Ben before his brain fully catches up to his mouth, „Wait, what?!“
Mal just blushes, and stammers something like: „I wouldn’t do it again,“ to which Evie doesn’t even answer. She just giggles, her voice like jingle bells.
„Jay! Say something!“ Mal turns at the last member of their group.
„Yeah?“ he looks up from Ben’s Tourney and Roar trophies, oh so shiny, and, „It was pretty subpar murder plot, I must say, but fun anyway. Say, did LT give you an A for it?“
Mal buries her face in her hands: „You are not helping. Besides, she almost failed me, for balking out before the end – Not that I would want to finish it, E! Really! I already told you–“
Carlos chuckles, as Evie chose exactly this moment to emerge from the wardrobe and calm down the situation, and especially Ben. With soft and sweet smile on her lips, she says that „It’s just how the Isle children make friends, isn’t it?“ and „We didn’t know any better,“ and that she is so glad she is in Auradon.
The implication of the other Isle children is both unsaid and well received.
„Well, ehm, so, anyway,“ says Ben, „What would you like to do? I was thinking we could play some video games?“
Carlos, Jay, and Evie beam at that proposition, while Mal pouts. She is not the queen yet, and she is clearly outvoted.
Besides, as Evie would put it, Ben’s console is a work of art.
So, they play.
They try not to cheer too much at each kill and swallow at least the most disturbing remarks of how they’d react on the Isle.
Though, honestly?
They got so lost in the game and the debate – even Mal – that Ben was staring at them with mouth agape, wondering why on Earth do they know so much about back alley assaults.
(He didn’t ask at which side they were, that sweet fairy tale child. They will not tell him.)
Instead, he suggests if they’d perhaps like to do something else?
Carlos swats Jay in the arm as he attempts to swipe the controller to his pocket, and points at the drum set the prince has at a mini podium.
(A drum set! At a podium!)
„You play?“ he asks casually.
„Yes!“ Ben beams, „Well, not so much anymore, but I used to! It’s really fun – do you play?“
Carlos ignores Jay scoffing and him and Evie muttering „Who the fuck makes a sixteen years old a king?“ in languages they hope said sixteen years old king won’t understand, and Mal glaring at them.
„Worked out, didn’t it?!“ she more gestures and hisses than says, and, yeah, as far as Carlos is concerned?
There is still some work to do.
So he puts his smile back on and says: „I don’t, but my cousin Diego has a band. Maybe one day, you could play together!“
(If he added „That would be awesome, right?“ he’d be laying it on too thick, wouldn’t he?)
„Your cousin has a band?“ Ben repeats, „That’s pretty cool!“ and „Wait, I didn’t know you had a cousin.“
„I have three,“ informs Carlos with a stony expression.
„I also have a cousin,“ adds Jay, „Jade, my aunt’s kid. We grew up together.“
„I… I honestly didn’t know that. You see, the records, well, they are a bit spotty–“
„Oh, don’t worry about it,“ smiles Evie sweetly, and if Carlos didn’t trust her that much, he’d choke her right on the spot. Mal looks like she wants to do that too.
„We will take a look at your records, won’t we, boys? Jay, Carlos?“
They smile at her, Isle smile, too much teeth and no love in the eyes. They can see some interesting times ahead, already.
„You can start the process of pulling Diego, Ivy, Hunter and Jade over; You can also add Dizzy, that girl is like a little sister to me, and Claudine Frollo.“
„Frollo has a daughter?“
„That’s what you take from this, man?“ asks Jay, leaning against the doorframe, ready to leave.
„I mean, yeah, good for you. But, Jade? Hello?“
Evie smiles at Ben, her mirror-smile, and he nods:
„Cousins. Got it. Claudine Frollo.“
He shakes his head.
Carlos can still see Mal pouting, and she will likely throw a tantrum later that day, gods know what got into her lately, but that’s a problem for his future self.
Now?
He has a faulty system to look at.
„Let’s go,“ he says, and they go, because you didn’t think they didn’t know where the records are kept, did you now? They are Isle kids, after all.
Evie only stops for a bit to make Ben give them an official pass, but she catches up soon enough, she smiles and takes both of their hands.
Carlos feels like everything is going to be okay.

♥ - family headcanon
for bradley and sweet girl (love's of my life, my best friends, my parents, my idols, my everything) - i'm curious about her mom and how she fits into sweet girl and bradley's lives after they get together? what about her dad? i know her parents are divorced so really curious about that too!
Jordan! I don’t think you understand how happy it makes me that you love them as much as I do!
❤️- family headcanon
Bradley and Sweet Girl’s mom have always had their own special kind relationship. She cares for him not just out of love for her forever best friend, but because of how he’s always taken care of her daughter her. There’s A Moment™️ in the ‘This is Me Trying’ fic that really solidifies their bond. And she’s the one who helps him get his feet back on the ground and into UVA after he imploded his life.
And when her mom got remarried, she paid for Bradley’s plane ticket for him to come home for the wedding 🥰
So when they get together, I think her mom is genuinely shocked when they tell her. And probably like them, she probably had also thought if it was going to happen it probably would have already happened. It snuck up on everyone. But she is so happy for them because she love him, and knows his track record for caring about her daughter.
Her mom and step-dad are definitely the river cruise type. So they’re always sending little packages of things they picked up to them. (And we know she sends Bradley a cake every year in Carole’s birthday to celebrate.) They come to San Diego a few times a year to visit, and then SG and Bradley always go home for Christmas. (Mav is always extended an open invitation too.)
SG has more of a complicated relationship with her dad. After the divorce, he moved on so quick and got remarried. And there were times she felt that he prioritized his new family over her. So there’s love, but they’re not as close as she wishes they could be. Like when Bradley asked for permission to propose, he asked her mom first and then her dad the next day on the golf course.

@scumbag-the-hedgehog [Get to Know Me!]
Send me a ♔ for me to describe a favorite rp character of mine.
OUGH Ok so while I LOVE all my muses here, I do miss the Undertale fandom. I used to rp Underfell Sans and he was my first ever villain-adjacent character. Love him to BITS little snarky bastard. I also greatly enjoyed rping Morty Smith since at the time the fandom was very intertwined with the Gravity Falls rpc. Fun times.
Send me a ♕ for me to describe favorite rp character of someone else’s.
@familylightfox's Volt and Harmony got my heart something CRAZY. @emeraldtied's Arrow as well. Their muses are so well fleshed out and interesting, they're both so very inspiring and i look up to them writing and friend-wise quite a bit!
Send me a ♥ for me to describe a favorite rp ship of mine.
To be a little selfish, Diego and Volt have such a special place in my heart. It makes me so happy to not only have someone be into my muse as a character, but that the in-character interactions are genuinely healing to my oc after all he's been through. UGH could gush about it all DAY.
Send me a ♣ for me to describe a favorite rp ship of someone else’s.
Very similarly to a previous question, Volt and Arrow's relationship is adorable. 10/10 love reading those threads. ScourgeAmy between Winter and Missle is one of the earlier favorites from when I first started coming around.
Send me a ☮ for me to describe an amazing rp experience.
Any time someone appreciates or even just notices my ocs, my heart explodes. I hold them very very dear and it's always lovely when others take interest.
Send me a ☠ for me to describe a terrible rp experience.
I'd been kicked out of a server without warning because my character 'was too depressing' and it was 'making others uncomfortable' when zero people came to me (especially as a mod) about it, and then the person who ran the server (a friend at the time) also deleted our own private server with just the two of us because of things they genuinely could have spoken to me about. Especially when I told them several times they could talk to me.
I have very little tolerance for people who make me out to be the villain when I don't even know what's going on. If I'm doing something that is hurting you or making you uncomfortable, please speak up. I'm tired of people claiming I'm either hard to talk to or they wanted to spare my feelings, only to hurt me far worse when the truth eventually comes out because things were left to fester. I'm not some fucking villain or narcissist, I can fully admit to being wrong. And if brought to me in a RESPECTFUL manner, I'm more than willing to speak things out like adults. I'm damn near 30, I don't have the energy or bandwidth for nonsense anymore.
It wasn't the first time someone just completely 180 on me, but it was years ago, so it is what it is. Sorry, this got rambly.
#don't yell at me i'll cry {ooc}#look to the stars for what you seek {answered}#scumbag the hedgehog#negative tw#just a bit at the end there. sorry about that

idc if people ship alluther or if their relationship is acknowledged ic. it's canon in all sources and it doesn’t squick or trigger me.
slightly related, if you think depiction always equals endorsement, please hard block me.
critique is healthy, hate is not. no viktor, luther, or allison hate, please. i acknowledge the umbrella sibs’ issues and love them anyway.
my tagging convention for sensitive and triggering content will be #___ for ts.
i have no triggers and no notable squicks, but please let me know if there’s something i should be mindful of in our threads for your own comfort.

K, N, T, and U for the ask game. feel free ot just answer a couple, or all of them :)
Thank you so much, Fisher, for the asks ♥
K - What character has your favourite development arc/the best development arc?
Woah that's a tough question. I might go with Holger here, since I disliked him first but he's growing on me since I started writing fics about him :D Same goes for Shapo, he really wasn't my favourite at the beginning (first noticed him at AO22 in the match against Rafa where he didn't collect many sympathy points) but with the things he's recently saying/posting (for example equal pay) he's definitely growing on me. Not really a development arc per se, but that is what comes to my mind.
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
First: People being more chill about everything and not cancelling athletes over minor disagreements. Yeah, I know it's an RPF fandom where you need to be more critical in general but, man, chill guys. It's just a fandom and definitely not the responsibility of writers or fangirls/boys to get things right that go wrong in real life. These are not issues that can be solved by tumblr rants or cancelling fangirls/boys who ship xyz. Sure, it's good to be aware of all the shit that's going on, but please, let the fandom be a fandom more often.
Second: There are never enough Fedal fics.
Third: Or RuRu fics.
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
Rafa has had a crush on Roger since the first day he saw him and with time, it evolved into something deeper.
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
Okay, so my non-Tennis fandom faves are:
Lewis Nixon, Band of Brothers - He's my favourite because of how much he loves Winters, his humour and how relatable it is that he's not exactly an early riser.
Tony Stark, MCU - he's misunderstood, his sarcasm is gold and all the things he's been through really make me have pity on him. I just wanna hug him.
Johnny Marcone, The Dresden Files - The mob boss you can't hate. He's just such an interesting character, you never know what he's up to, and he's sexy af.
Also, Loki (MCU), Ezio (Assassin's Creed), Diego Hargreeves (Umbrella Academy) and Geoffrey McCullum (Vampyr) deserve to be mentioned.
Ask me about my current fandom :)

Huh, this is an interesting mix and a pretty good representation of the range of songs in my main playlist, lol. It's one I've been adding to (and occasionally removing from) for a decade now. I could play it for an entire 24 hours and never repeat a song. :P
low-key, no-pressure tagging some folks from my recent activity: @illustrious-paladin-lesbian, @librarianladyx, @catty-words, @weatheredskies, @annaandtheicecream, @shoes-that-cut-eyes-that-burn (v. appropriate, given number 7 on the list), @feeisamarshmallow, @violetren, @unbestedmartell, @itjustfeels, @acesexualspock, and @fooferah of course. ♥︎

Diego/Patch, for the ship bingo?
I 1000000% ship them, but my feelings are complicated. I think that Eudora was healthy for Diego, but Diego wasn't quite mature enough for Eudora. I could see them working if Eudora was more willing to bend the rules, and Diego was a little more readily vulnerable (which! honestly it says something about their level of trust that he feels comfortable to open up even a little bit to Eudora when Grace dies, and not only does she listen to him, she listens to him despite the fact they're currently butting heads... but we need more of that, and maybe some proper communication in general).
I'm also very weak for the ship dynamic between a by the book cop and their consultant/vigilante/morally grey partner whom they love but have to occasionally wrangle like a toddler. I'm slotting Diego/Eudora right next to Jane/Lisbon and Wilde/Hopps; they fill a niche corner of my heart. ♥
#s4 won't do it but i'd love to see diudora make a return...#merri answers#thank you nonnie!#anonymous

This is not a cover of the Katy Perry song. That would be ‘The One Who Got Away.’ You only remember that one ‘cos it stars Diego Luna as a beautiful, tortured artist… (✿ ♥‿♥)
I think vocalist Katie Gavin put it best when she says the LA trio’s latest single is all about ‘just rubbing your hot ass in the face of someone who messed up their chance of being with you.’ We all know the feeling.
The clip for the track has it all: money laundering, Rachel from Neighbours, allusions to the hit FX series The Bear as the LA trio channel their inner gangsters. With its punchy synths and sleek, crystal-clear production, the song feels very reminiscent of Control-era Janet Jackson, which only makes me love it even more
Says Gavin (via Stereogum):
‘It’s a bit vengeful and mean, but also fun. Fuck it. Once I sent Naomi and Jo the demo they really took the cockiness in the lyric and vocal performance and carried it to the extreme with the production of the track. It became this super bombastic, Janet Jackson-era track. Ally Pankiw, who directed the music video with Taylor James, then came up with the idea of putting the music video in a criminal underworld, which we thought fit perfectly. Plus we wanted an excuse to dress Jo up like The Bear.’
MUNA’s self-titled album is out now via Saddest Factory Records. Read the review for their 2019 album, Saves The World, here.

it is once again my oc diego’s birthday so here are some scenes of him and mana kissy
There’s a long scar crossing Mana’s collarbone. When they wear that one boatneck shirt they have, you can see the tip of the scar peek out.
“Oh, that?” Mana rubs at their eyes, waking up from a nap. “I got in in a car accident as a kid. Dunno how it’s stayed so long without fading…” They yawn, stretching their arms above their head.
“Do you have any others?” Zero asks.
“A couple,” Mana mumbles, getting out of bed. The sheets tangle around their legs, and they tug at them futilely. Zero reaches out to free them. The shift of Mana’s shirt reveals more of the scar, as though it’s looking out for attention, and Zero presses his lips to it. Mana laughs, and throws their arms around him.
♥
Mana sighed, a wobbling sound like their unsteadiness reached into their throat. Sniffling, they rubbed at their eyes, still red from crying. Diego didn’t touch them, not yet. It was awful to feel like he couldn’t comfort them, but he didn’t know what would be too much.
“I’m tired,” Mana said at last, in a small, fragile voice. Diego nodded. “I need to…” They gestured vaguely with their hands. “Brush my teeth.” Slowly standing up, they made their way to the bathroom. Diego stared at the spot where they sat on the couch, listening to the sound of running water. It stopped, and he heard Mana’s soft footsteps as they crossed the hall. Their drawer rattled as they opened it, and their clothes rustled as they got changed. Diego finally stood up, and walked over to Mana in their room. Their eyes landed somewhere slightly to the left of his face, maybe on his ear.
“Do… do you want me to stay?” Diego asked carefully. Mana swallowed, their Adam’s apple bobbing.
“...Can you lay with me?” Mana asked, wringing their hands together. Diego nodded quickly, going to the closet for his spare clothes as Mana got into bed. He turned off the lights, and Diego carefully got underneath the covers with them. Mana was staring at the ceiling. “Thank you for being so patient with me,” they said quietly. “It really meant a lot that you were just… there for me.” Lights from cars on the street slid across the ceiling.
“Of course,” Diego said. Mana turned slightly towards Diego. He was starting to see their face in the darkness.
“Can I kiss you goodnight?”
Diego felt his heart beat against the inside of his chest, pressing against his ribcage as if reminding him it was still there. He loved Mana, with everything he had.
“Yeah.”
Mana leaned in, and pressed their lips against his forehead. Their lips were a little wet, and slightly cool against his skin. Diego felt himself holding his breath subconsciously, staying completely still. As Mana pulled back, Diego breathed out slowly.
“I love you,” Mana murmured.
“I love you,” Diego echoed.
♥
“Diegooo…” Mana peeked into the bedroom. “Breakfast is ready!” Diego shifted slightly, eyes still closed. Mana walked over to the bed, and brushed Diego’s bangs out of his face. “Are you still sleeping?” Leaning down, Mana kissed Diego’s forehead. Pulling back, they saw him watching them with one eye, which he quickly shut. Slowly, he smiled, like he was thinking of a sly joke. Mana poked at his cheek. “Come on, I saw that!” Diego mumbled something, rolling onto his side.
♥
It’s hot. Diego’s phone says today’s temperature will be 101°F. He sinks back into the couch, feeling somewhat sleepy in his contentment.
Maybe having fallen asleep for a moment, Diego wakes up when the door unlocks with a click. He hears Mana come in, plastic bags crinkling and rubbing together. His eyes slide open and he takes them in, slipping off their shoes, wearing a green tanktop and white running shorts. They look up at him, mouth half open mid-sigh, and smile.
“I brought snacks,” Mana says, somewhat breathlessly. “And a few drinks?” They shuffle into the kitchen to put everything away, and Diego barely see them over the counter basking in the cold of the open fridge for a few minutes.
Mana never complains about how hot Diego’s apartment is. If they think it would be overwhelming, they don’t come over.
“I’m not gonna complain about something that makes you happy and comfortable,” they once said. “It makes me glad when you can go along with my specific ways of living, you know?”
“Mana,” Diego calls out. They look over, and he beckons them over with one hand. When they get closer, kneeling down to be face-to-face with him, he can see the sweat on their forehead. Gently, he wraps an arm around their shoulders and pulls them in for a kiss.
♥
Mana was handing over a packed lunch to Rei, smiling up at him. Rei noticed Diego first, scowling and half rolling his eyes. Mana noticed his reaction and followed his gaze, then broke into a wide grin.
“Oh! I didn’t know you were working today!” They half jogged up to Diego, taking his hand in theirs. “How are you?” Diego smiled gently back at them, and squeezed their hand.
“I’m good. Are you just dropping by?” Mana nodded.
“I gotta go back soon,” they said, checking their phone for the time. “It was just for my lunch break.”
“Mana,” Rei called for them. “If you’re gonna leave, I have to head back too.”
“Oh, okay!” Mana ran up to Rei and hugged him. “I’ll see you later.” Rei gently ruffled their hair before walking off back to his office.
“Talk to you later, Mana,” Diego said, approaching them. Glancing over, Rei’s back was still facing Diego. “Mana,” Diego whispered, drawing their attention.
“Hmm?” Leaning in, Diego pressed a quick but firm kiss against their lips.
“Text me when you get home,” he said with a wink. Mana blushed a little, eyes darting over to Rei’s still retreating back, and they broke into laughter.

Being part of the extermination division has never been fun and games. Well, except for division game night, but with how competitive some people are, even that’s not fun and games. But the point is that working in the extermination division means fighting monsters, and no one is ever completely unscathed in a fight.
“I know that,” Mana mumbles. “It’s like being a firefighter. But against shadow monsters.” They mutter something to themself maybe not entirely in English as they rummage around in their bag.
“Sure,” Diego agrees.
He had taken painkillers early to make sure they were in effect by the time Mana visited, but his body still feels awkward in bed. His knee is bothering him, like his leg is twisted funny. Looking over, Mana is still digging through their bag, expression increasingly distressed.
“Hey,” Diego calls, reaching out his hand but not quite touching them. “It’s okay. I’ll get better. It’s gonna be okay.”
Mana looks at him. They sigh, and can’t quite say something. Taking his hand in theirs, Mana kisses the back of Diego’s hand, and closes their eyes. Pulling their hand over, Diego kisses theirs in return.

Rui looked up from her phone, tracking Diego coming out of the bathroom and approaching the kitchen. A quick glance, his hands seemed dry. Still, a bold move.
“Mana,” he called, reaching a hand out, gently touching their shoulder.
“Muh.” A warning sound, like the growl of a lion.
Mana was still mixing the batter for the muffins, so Diego wasn’t trespassing onto holy territory yet. Mana could probably make muffins in their sleep. Rui craned her head to see over the kitchen counter. She hoped Mana was putting chocolate chips in them.
Diego reached out, going for the waist. A gentle elbow to his chest. Back off. Mana was not to be confined in the kitchen. Diego looked up, catching Rui’s eye. She slowly shook her head. He gave her a thumbs up.
“I’ll be sitting on the couch,” he said.
Leaning in, he kissed the side of Mana’s face. Not looking away from their batter, Mana tried to kiss him back a little, their lips brushing his skin. Diego made his way to the empty couch, where he kind of draped himself in a position where he could relax and watch Mana. He would learn someday, Rui thought.

“Oh, it’s midnight…” Mana turns their head, looking up at Zero and blinking slowly. “Happy birthday,” they say softly, cuddling closer to Zero. He holds their gaze for a long moment, and they smile. “What is it?”
“Sorry. You’re just… so adorable,” Zero says, and Mana laughs. Zero leans in to kiss them, and Mana wraps their arms around his waist.
“Were you gonna go see your family?”
“This weekend.”
“Mm… what do you wanna do today…?” Zero presses his lips to Mana’s hair, taking in the scent of their shampoo.
“I just want to sleep in with you for now.”
