#like lumi realizing she fucked up
Text
Thoughts on how Mondstadt went [2]:
yk how Lumi and Paimon try to steal the lyre and almost get caught??? then she runs off to the Angel's Share right, and all that.
u can't tell me kaeya doesn't know she totally tried to steal it, right???
like he hears abt a blond stealing the lyre and like??? yk????
me personally, i like to think that Kaeya's like 'sigh i knew she was up to no good. but why tf is she after the lyre?' and he's a lil hurt by it but he'd never say that ever at all no.
confrontation while she and paimon go to get the excess tears to power the lyre, Lumi's like "no wait hear me out PLEASE i know this looks bad" and Kaeya's like "yk what i'm curious, i'll hear u out"
proceeds to learn abt all the shenanigans she's been up to, and all that jazz.
this may just be me silly goofily explaining why/how he's in my party while i'm doing things he arguably wouldn't be there for, but yall can SUE me, i love these two and i think it's silly.
#kaelumi#kaeya genshin impact#kaeya gi#lumine gi#lumine genshin impact#genshin headcanons#i just like the idea that he's like a little disappointed#like they've hung out a bit from Lumi bugging him#and he's kinda a little fond of her except totally not bc he's gotta keep an eye on her#then hears abt the whole lyre shit#the confrontation has some juicy stuff too if u think abt it#like lumi realizing she fucked up#panics and wanting him to listen to her??#worried that he won't#uGH#i lOVE them#they're so baby

HEAVEN AND BACK
sum. after a tough breakup, you find comfort in things you never thought you would do.
fem!reader with she/her pronouns
warnings: drug usage, very rushed, angry katsuki but the usual, y/n is a mess lol and kinda a crybaby srry I was pmsing when I wrote this…
inspo: heavily inspired by Heaven and back by chase Atlantic I love that song sm gn
not proof read sorry I’m lazy I’ll edit it later, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED
She was always dealing with the devil
She was always into taking those chances, yeah
“Thank you, have a wonderful day.” You smiled at the customer as they grabbed their cigarettes and left the convenience store you worked at.
It was currently 7:47 PM, and all you wanted to do was be at home with your cat and sleep.
But it’s never sleep when it comes to you. It’s always work, study, work, work, repeat. Living alone was stressful, especially when you didn’t have a support system like you used to.
Your support system..your precious katsuki. Gosh how much you missed him. That night of your breakup was one of the worst things you had ever experienced.
It wasn’t like the time when you lost your pet turtle and it crawled into your father’s work boots, leading to its awful death.
It wasn’t like the time you lost the charm bracelet your best friend had gotten you for your birthday in 7th grade.
No, nothing could ever compare to the way you felt like your heart was yanked out of your chest and tossed aside like a rock.
“Being in a relationship with you is exhausting.” You remembered saying to him as he was ranting about god knows what. You didn’t remember why you two argued, or how you two got in that position.
“Are you fucking serious?” You finally realized what you had said, going up to him to apologize.
But all you remember is him scoffing with tears in his pretty ruby eyes and yanking his jacket off the coat rack, slamming the door harshly. That was the last time you seen him.
“Hi is your lane open?”
You looked up, seeing three girls who were dressed in tight dresses, fur coats with huge smiles on their faces. You caught a whiff of the familiar green plant many would find relief in and their bloodshot eyes as they looked at you in excitement.
“Yes of course. Is this all?” You scanned the bottles of Pedialyte, chuckling as the girls began to ramble.
“You’re really pretty to be working at a place like this?” One girl with brown hair and pink highlights said, holding onto her phone.
“Oh uh thanks?” You blinked at her, looking back down as you scanned the Tylenol.
“We’re going to a party later, you should definitely come! When does your shift end?” You sighed, looking at the clock. These girls didn’t even know you and they wanted to party with you?
“It ends now, but look I don’t really go out at all though so-“
“Even more reason to come! Come on! It’ll be fun!” The shorter girl with curls said as she shoved her pixie stick in her mouth.
“I don’t even know your names.” You tried to explain, shaking your head in disagreement to this idea of theirs.
“I’m Yei, this is Lumi and Honey. We already know your name,” Yei the girl with blue hair pointed to your name tag giggling. “So there’s no other excuse. Please come with us.”
“I think that’s an amazing idea.” You felt a soft shove, looking over to see your coworker Ley looking down at you smiling.
“But I-“
“Go, Y/N. You’ve been working too hard and I know Layla asked for you to cover her shift for tonight but I refuse. As your boss and your friend, go have fun.” You sighed, nodding as you handed Ley your work apron.
Some would say it was pretty weird to have a boss who treated you this way, but you’ve know Ley since middle school. He was basically one of the reasons you still had a job here.
“I don’t even have anything to wear though.” You walked next to the girls as they dragged you along.
Said she met a couple other women
Who were into going late night dancing, yeah
You side glanced at the numerous people that were dancing along with the loud music, smoke overtaking the air as you clenched onto one of the girls’ hand, following them as they led you in further into the party.
You sighed a deep breath, feeling anxious as you watched everyone pushing and grinding on one another.
Gosh you wished you could call Katsuki to be here. Or even to just take you home.
“Hey, have a drink you look stressed.” Lumi laughed as she passes you a red cup. You gulped, smiling as you clenched it in your palm.
“Hey leave her alone, she said she’s not one to party so maybe she’s just not used to this environment.” Honey gave you a side hug and rubbed your shoulders in comfort.
‘I want to go home.’ You thought as you started to sip on the drink, making a small face at the sweetness of the alcoholic beverage, but still not putting it down.
“Mina said she was coming over with her friends.” You tensed up as you heard your old friend’s name from Yei who put her phone back in her small clutch, going back to downing the small shot glasses that were scattered around the counter.
“Mina as in-“ before you could finish, you felt warm soft arms grab your hands, squealing in your ear as you turned around to see the familiar pink girl looking at you in excitement.
“Y/N what are you doing here?!?” She asked, grabbing her hands tightly again smiling widely.
“Oh I was just-“ you looked up for a second and took a double take as you saw him.
Katsuki, standing in all his glory. His large arms in full display in that black wife beater tank, the chain that hung on the side of his loose jeans and your favorite gold chain that laid so gorgeously on his neck. You saw that he got an eyebrow piercing along with two more ear piercings and with pretty gold rings that hugged his fingers perfectly.
The fingers that were wrapped around a girl’s waist tightly.
Your breath hitched as you watched the way he smiled smugishly into the heated kiss with the girl who looked like an angel.
She was the complete opposite of you. So perfect.
You stared back at Mina with wide eyes, making her frown as she slightly turned around to see what you were looking at.
Her deep sigh of disappointment was all you needed to know.
You pulled away from Mina, walking to the bathroom as a loud sigh escaped out of your chest.
“Stupid stupid stupid.” You kept repeating to yourself as you started to put cold water on your face to cool down.
A loud knock interrupted your mini crisis. “Hey we need the bathroom!” A girl yelled, twisting the doorknob annoyingly.
“Sorry.” You whispered as you walked out, seeing two girls drag in a boy with blond hair with a lightening streak who was smiling dumbly. You now realized it was Denki who was dragged into the bathroom.
Good for him. You thought with a small smile. You began to make your way out, only to be caught by the wrist.
Looking back, you saw the face you were dreading to see now.
“Let me go, Katsuki.” You spoke sternly, yanking your arm away. You saw a small glance of hurt in his eyes that was quickly overtaken by the look of anger.
“What the hell are you doing here?” He asked, looking over your shoulder and back at you.
“Who are you with?” You rubbed your face in annoyance and frustration. “That’s none of your business.” You heard a small huff from him, seeing the way he licked his lips in irritation.
A habit you used to love because he looked so good doing it.
“It is my business when you-“ you felt another pair of hands grab your shoulder, being shoved back into a rough chest.
“Is this guy bothering you?” You looked up, feeling your breath hitch at the gorgeous man that stood before you.
He had a tight compressed black shirt with gray sweatpants. Pretty green eyes and raven black hair as he looked at Katsuki.
“Uh what?” You asked to yourself, looking back and forth as you soon realized you were in a muscle sandwich.
“Who the fuck are you?!” Katsuki barked, feeling a vein pop out of his forehead.
“Katsuki.” You spoke softly, looking up at him as he laughed softly.
“Whatever, Y/N. Do whatever the fuck you want. I’m sick of worrying about you and your stupid decisions.” He brushed you off, walking back to the girl from earlier as he grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the party.
You felt your heart hurt a bit, gulping at the way he tenderly talked to her as they left, without a second glance.
“What a crappy ex huh?” The guy joked softly, looking back down at you.
“You seem like you need something to get your mind off things.”
Then she fell in love with a pill, that could take away all her pain, yeah
“What is this?” You twirled the pastel rainbow pills in the small shot glass, looking up at the guy whos name was Kyle, in curiosity.
“I like to call them my happy pills. Come on, try it. Let it course through your veins as all your worries leave you.” He sat back in the raggedy couch that was in the basement as he smoked a joint.
You scratched your neck, feeling a bit tense and bothered as you saw the gray sweatpants that hugged his waist as he man-spread.
“I’m not gonna die, right?” You never did anything like this before, and you had no idea why you were even trusting this man with anything he was giving you.
But you were a whore for a man in a tight black shirt that showed all his good..qualities.
Then she fell in love with a whole new drug
That could fill her veins
And then
An hour later, you were laughing hysterically as you drank, looking around the room.
You felt like you were floating, never had you felt so alive before. This was a new sense of happiness you haven’t felt in all your years.
You started to feel addicted to this feeling.
She's high
She lives in the sky
Tonight, she's satisfied
Rolling back her eyes
You put your hand up, turning it as you inspected it in curiosity. Giving a side glance, you saw Kyle talking to his group of friends, smiling over to you.
You fell on the couch face first, groaning as you felt your vision start to blur.
“What?” You asked, seeing blobs looking down at you, shaking for you to stay awake.
“I’m having fun, leave me alone.” You giggle, pushing one of the face’s away, humming a song softly.
“Katsuki, please take her home.” Honey was looking down at you in worry, wiping your sweat off your forehead as she spoke in the phone.
There were incoherent voices in the background that you happily blocked as you sipped on another drink that was passed down to you.
“Get up.” After a good fifteen minutes of pure bliss when honey hung up the phone, you looked up confused to see him staring down at you completely pissed.
You looked around as Lumi helped you stand, seeing the girl who Katsuki was with looking at him annoyed but she was now sitting on Kyle’s lap drinking.
“Huh?” You asked, pushing his face aside when he tried to help you walk.
You limply looked up at him, seeing him even more mad than before had you sober up a tiny bit.
But then she starts to cry
Everything is turning to black
He lead you outside to his car, his keys jingling around while he helped you to sit inside.
You nuzzled up to the familiar texture of his seats that you used to sit in countless times before.
It was silent the whole ride and you began to cry.
Not just a normal sniffle cry. But a gut wrenching wail, the endless tears falling down your cheeks.
“Don’t be mad at me. Please I’m sorry.” You said clearly extremely intoxicated, watching him clench the steering wheel.
“I’m not mad!” He yelled, making you tense up and cry again.
“I-I’m not mad at you…okay? Whatever happened before….i forgave you for it. I’m mad at myself because I fucking left you!” You could hear the way his voice sounded so distraught and upset that it made you scotch closer to the car door a bit more.
“And what the fuck did you take?! How fucking stupid are you to do something like this? Did you even know that fucking guy?? You’re fucking smarter than this, Y/N what were you thinking??”
You felt your cheeks burn from the alcohol, the embarrassment, and the frustration.
“I wasn’t okay? I wasn’t thinking.”
“Fucking clearly. What the fuck happened to you?” You sat up, looking at him completely heartbroken as he spoke those words to you.
“It’s you! It’s all you!” You cried out. Katsuki looked at you, extremely pissed now as he slammed the car breaks which made the car shriek.
“Oh so it’s my fault now?!” Katsuki now turned his whole body to you, pushing the driver seat back so he was more comfortable as he faced you.
You scoffed, trying to open the car door only for him to reach over and slam it shut, along with putting the child locks on.
“You’re not fucking leaving. We’re going to talk. What the hell is going on?”
You looked at him as your head limply fell back, lightly hitting the seat as tears streamed your face.
“I was doing fine. Then these girls picked me up after my shift and then I went to that stupid party! Then I see you there, making out with the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. I was so upset i ran to the bathroom but then denki and some girls came in so then I left only to bump into you! After that you started being a fucking asshole which made that dude come over! The-then he gave me these pills. They made me feel fucking incredible!!”
Katsuki’s mouth opened like a fish out of water, his eyes wide as you rambled.
“So there! That’s what’s wrong with me!” Reaching over his lap, you unlocked the car and got out.
As soon as you did, the cool fresh air hit you instantly, making you hunch over as you started to throw up everything in your system.
You heaved, throwing up even more as you clenched onto the tree that was on the side of the road.
You heard the door slam and a comforting rub on your back the more you threw up.
“It’s okay. Let it out.” You turned around, feeling your legs get wobbly as you pushed his hands off.
“You said you could care less about me so leave me alone.” You spoke drunkenly, only for your head to roll back and everything going black for you.
Katsuki sighed as you plopped on the dried orange leaves that luckily saved your fall.
All in one night
She just went to heaven and back
You slowly opened your eyes, seeing that you were in the back of his car, laying across the seats with his jacket that used to be your favorite to steal.
You watched him skip through songs, groaning at the annoying stations that played.
“Who was she?” You almost laughed at the way he jumped, turning to see you sitting up now.
“Jesus fuck, you scared the hell out of me.” you could practically hear the way his heart was racing and ponding from the tight grip he had on the steering wheel.
“Answer my question.” Katsuki stayed silent.
“Just…a girl I started talking to.” Humming in response, you leaned your head against the car window.
“That’s why I did it. As pathetic as it sounds, I took those pills to forget about tonight. To get that imagine of you kissing her so lovingly out of my fucking head.” You didn’t realize just how much you started to cry, only seeing your tears landing on your hands that were laying on your lap.
“Y/N-“
“It’s my fault though. I was so stressed with school and making sure I had enough money for the week that I was so mean to you when you tried to talk to me that night. I’m sorry I said you were exhausting. I’m sorry I’ve been a shitty girlfriend to you, I’m sorry for everything.”
Silence.
You wanted to bury yourself in embarrassment at the way you had rambled your apology, overthinking that maybe he didn’t give a shit about you or your relationship anymore.
“I can see you having a fight with yourself, stop it.” Katsuki gave you a deep sigh, thinking for a bit before he gave himself a small nod.
“Don’t…apologize. I was being an asshole too and pushing your limits when you were saying you weren’t in the mood to speak. I should’ve given you your space. I’m sorry I fucking kissed that girl.”
Before you could respond, he parked the car and you finally realized where you were at now. You were parked right outside his apartment.
The door opened and Katsuki sat next to you.
“Look at me,” he grabbed your hand. “I’m sorry. We both were…really shitty with each other and I’m sorry. I want…to work things out. Maybe it isn’t our time yet, but I just want you.” Katsuki looked down at you, wiping your cheeks.
“I love you. So much. But I can’t…not right now. Not when I have so much regret and resentment with myself for letting this shit happen to you.”
You hum, looking down at your hands as you were thinking of what to say.
“It’s crazy how much shit can happen in one night huh…but can I ask a favor from you?” He looked at you, waiting for you to continue.
“Can we stay like this? Just for tonight like old times? Before I lose you again?”

Lumiharem and their Endearments
Dilumi
"my love" / "love"
It just slipped out so naturally from Diluc's lips that he didn't even realized what he called her until he caught Lumine gaping at him. She still teases him nonstop about it.
Lumine has no problem using such endearments in public although Diluc only does it when they're alone or close enough that no one else could hear. Unless of course he gets jealous or someone tries to hit on Lumi
Kaelumi
"starlight"
The idea just came to Kaeya one day it just grew over time, Lumine often wonders if he's only using the endearment to tease her and thinks nothing of it. But the way Kaeya called her starlight when she was silently crying in her bed one night was nowhere near playful, his tone was so warm and painfully intimate that Lumine couldn't help but hold on to him as she lets everything go.
Zhonglumi
"Darling"
Lumine said it as a joke and Zhongli was more than happy enough to take it seriously.
I don't know what else to fucking say other than the fact that these two are like an old married couple that won't stop showing how in love they are in public. They're shameless.
Zhongli adores it, but his favorite is when she calls him "my darling Morax" when she's writhing and moaning underneath him.
Chilumi
м��я дорогая (moya dorogaya) / "my dear"
Lumine has no fucking idea what it meant and thought it was another way of him calling her his partner and Childe never did correct her. Every time he calls her that in front of his co-workers, they'd always try and steal a sneaky glance and Lumine keeps wondering why.
She only found out when she asked one of the Fatuus in Northland Bank.
Enjoulumi
"Princess"
He just wanted to get on Lumine's nerves to be quite honest, but as he kept calling her that, it gradually just stuck over time. Lumine hates to admit it out loud but she started to like hearing the way he called her princess every time they'd see each other.
Ayatolumi
"Wife"
Ayato just straight up called her his wife one day and no one had the guts to say anything about it. Lumine was too busy processing whatever fuck just happened.
It gets to her. Every. Single. Time. And Ayato loves how she always ends up getting flustered.
When Lumine jokingly called him husband to get back at him one day, she had to physically stop him from telling the entire estate to prepare the ceremony.
Thomalumi
"Honey" / "Hun"
Lumine couldn't help it, she's been wanting to call him that ever since she realizes how sweet and wonderful he was. When Thoma heard heard it he almost dropped an entire tray of food, his face resembling the same color as his vision.
It took him some time to get used to it but when he did, oh how the tables were turned.
Every time she announces that she's heading out, he always replies with "Take care honey!" And Lumine could only scream internally.
Ittolumi
"Babe"
THIS. I don't think I need to explain this.
Lumine either loves it or hates it, there's no in between.

idk if anyone has requested for the summary of dormmate!nayeon yet, but I would like to! It’s been a while since we have got an update about them🥺
thanks in advance and have a great day, lumi!
made this a filler drabble to give context to the next request for this au!
-
getting to know yeri shifted something between them. jihyo slowly realizes that nayeon has been sweeter with her, trying to redeem herself, knowing she was the reason why jihyo had to deal with that.
if only nayeon had resisted the urge to have jihyo, they wouldn’t be stuck in that situation. jihyo could’ve found someone nice. someone who would take care of her, always put her first and wouldn’t make her pretend she doesn’t know them when they’re not in between four walls.
this time, when the guilt begins to consume her, nayeon doesn’t drink. after the last time she drowned her sorrows in alcohol and everything went downhill, nayeon promised she wouldn’t do that again, resorting to less harmful things.
that included spending quality time with jihyo, and sometimes helping sana and momo out. there was an extracurricular project of which the two were volunteers, and while sana and momo were there for the money, nayeon wanted time for herself, keeping her mind busy while teaching kids the basics of basketball.
that way, she didn’t have to think about the mess that her life had become. the moments where she was alone at the dorm, waiting for jihyo to arrive, were the worst hours of her days. as long as she was away, either helping out on the project or taking classes at college, her problems would vanish.
even if temporarily, she could finally breathe.
“since we’re letting you participate, you should give us the money,” sana says when they’re leaving college. momo agrees with her. “you don’t need it! besides, if it wasn't for us you would never know about the project, and…”
“you can have it.” nayeon sighs, already sick of having the two around. they had become closer with time, and they certainly knew how to keep nayeon from thinking about her problems, but they talked too much. “can you just keep quiet?”
“that easy?!” sana blinks, confused, hugging nayeon’s shoulder with a smile on her face. “look at you, im. you’re such a good friend now.”
nayeon scoffs, offering her a halfhearted smile. momo was clueless to the whole nayeon and jihyo subject, and none of them were planning to tell her. nayeon still hates the fact that momo tries to reach jihyo, the jealousy stopping nayeon from accepting momo as a friend. sana finds it entertaining for the most part, an amused viewer.
when she gets home, nayeon feels a scent that calls for her, fresh and sugary, filling the entire dorm. jihyo leaves the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her, and nayeon knows she will rightfully complain about what she plans to do, but she can’t help but engulf her in a hug, her front meeting jihyo’s back, her sweaty arms involving her.
“you’re late,” jihyo sighs, her hair being pulled aside, soft lips kissing her neck, a familiar gesture that made her stomach burn, anticipating everything that came next. “and sweaty.”
“i took the girls home today,” nayeon pushes jihyo’s body gently, making her walk. while she wouldn’t mind to fuck her in the hallway, right there and then, her legs ached after spending the day running on a court. “and now i’m taking you.”
jihyo’s back hits the mattress as soon as nayeon manages to undo her towel, and then she’s trapped in one of those moments where she thinks she should be saying no. meeting yeri made things become more real, the guilt close to palpable, but it feels so good, even when it’s bad.
nayeon’s kisses carried uncertainties that even the roughest touch couldn’t make jihyo understand what nayeon wanted behind the obvious lust. kisses shouldn’t feel that way — empty and hungry at the same time, and nayeon shouldn’t be silently telling jihyo she is hers when she couldn’t live up to the promise.
“about our date…” nayeon inches away, taking off her muscle tee and dropping it to the floor. “there’s a festival happening out of town this weekend, i thought i could take you there.”
jihyo takes a while to process what nayeon had told her, eyes locked on her tummy. the top part of her boxers was showing, nayeon entirely too lazy to fix it. the shirt had been covering it anyway.
“you’re taking me out of town so nobody can see us?” jihyo asks, bringing her hand to the belt around nayeon’s waist, unbuckling it easily.
“what a smart girl,” nayeon mashes her lips together, only letting out a small laugh. “there’s nothing interesting for us to do here. at least not this weekend… just thought you would like to do something different.”
it was true.
not entirely true, but it was still true. nayeon was taking her out of town because it was dangerous to walk around with jihyo when nobody knew she shared her dorm with her, but she wasn’t lying when she said there was nothing interesting to do around the town.
“too sweet, unnie.” jihyo sighs, pulling nayeon’s pants down to her thighs along with the boxers. she moans softly when nayeon’s cock springs out, hard from the moment she saw jihyo. “planning to take me to bed afterwards?”
nayeon shrugs, letting jihyo guide her inside, supporting herself on her arms as she leans into her neck, nibbling the smooth skin just slightly. jihyo was already covered in marks, and those needed time to heal without nayeon trying to give her more of them.
“obviously.” nayeon tells her, amused. “but i want us to have fun, too. just you and i,” she pulls away just barely, nose brushing against jihyo’s. “my pretty girl.”
wasting no time, nayeon starts to thrust. she had always been fond of giving jihyo a little praising, knowing what it did to her, combining them with searing thrusts that would make jihyo cry out beautifully.
nayeon keeps a hand on jihyo’s cheek tenderly, another holding her thigh, groaning at how jihyo claws at her ass under the pants, subtly asking nayeon to put it all in and go impossibly deep, her way of making nayeon hers, an arbitrary sense of accomplishment growing in her chest.
the same passion that put them in their current situation comes back stronger when they’re together like that — losing themselves together, bodies pressed against one another, fulfilling a need that would never be truly sated, drowning into each other’s mouths even when they could barely breathe, forgetting about the world outside.
despite everything, there's nothing to regret when it feels that good.

on my hands and knees begging u to say your words about xiaolumi… i want to hear them… i’ll pay you back in art i prommy—
WHY WOULD YOU ENABLE ME LIKE THIS no need for art i literally owe you my fucking Life just for that one piece like oh my god. ohhhh my god. the amount of times i have linked that to my friends and waxed poetic and maybe cried a little. ANYWAYS. i am about to be So Silly And So Disorganized
so here's the thing right?? it depends SO heavily on how you interpret lumine. the traveler definitely has their own personality and agenda ingame but there's still SO much wiggle room in terms of what you do with that. if i really wanted to i could probably make it a Lot More Accurate by focusing on the traveler in canon and going from there however i will in fact be completely ignoring that and focusing on my interpretation of lumi specifically light and love <3 <- thats my little disclaimer ANYWAYS
they are So Similar in a lot of ways. young adults who are also centuries old. stubborn bastards who would give their lives protecting those around them even if they got absolutely nothing in return. so quick to throw themselves into the line of fire for the sake of friends and strangers alike. such a strong instinct to protect. not mortal, not by a long shot, but not quite gods either, something uniquely inhuman and in between. a centuries worth of weight on their shoulders. reaching their breaking points and pushing further still, refusing to let themselves crumble. and, even with very close companions, i think they're very lonely. there's no one quite like xiao in teyvat, no one quite like lumine without aether there by her side- maybe no one quite like lumine at all, anymore.
i think its about sharing. i think they'd find it easy to talk with and be around one another, even though they're typically so slow and so careful with trust. i think fighting together comes as easily as breathing, that their urge to protect lines up perfectly with the others and leads to them doing so much for those around them as well as each other. they will not let the other fall. they share the weight on their shoulders, share the centuries of bloodshed and horrors seen and caused alike, share in the unique brand of loneliness that comes with knowing that where someone was once by your side there's no one like you left.
vulnerability does not come easily to any of them. they can always push themselves further, always be a little stronger, always run a little faster. but its exactly that, i think, the recognition of someone so like themselves that makes it easier for them to trust in one another. lumine can call xiao's name when she needs him, xiao can find lumine if he needs her. i think that for all they would shoulder the world on their own and know the other would do the same in a heartbeat, they trust one another to come to them when they need help. it would be so, so easy to ignore it, to press forward, to remain alone. but they made a promise, and they intend to keep it.
i like to imagine that lumine's presence has a purifying effect on xiao. something she could control and channel should she realize, but for now something small, just enough to ease that weight. just enough to make sure he won't succumb.
i think a big part of it is about learning how to live again. they both carry that weight, that stubborn mindset, but wanting to see the other happy helps. knowing the other understands helps. when it hurts they can breathe together, and the type of pain they feel may never truly go away but they dont have to experience it alone.
every snowflake, every sunrise, every flower is just a little bit different from the rest. xiao's favorite quiet places are nicer with her there. they live so very differently but lumine's teapot is always there and xiao is no longer bound by his contract, learning ever so slowly how to let himself go. they have spent so, so long surviving. now, though, they remember to taste the fresh air, learn to indulge in the smallest things. lumine experiments with recipes until her almond tofu is catered to xiao's tastes exactly, the perfect texture. at night in liyue xiao tells her stories of the constellations and she remembers every word, at night in the teapot lumine will lift a hand and the sky will match her memories, her turn to tell stories about stars he's never seen.
they are both so, so tired. and i think that they would trust the other enough to let themselves rest. you can put your strength down. im sitting here with you at the kitchen table. you dont need to say anything. <- that quote is so them for real its shared silences mutual understanding and comfort always having each other's backs its twin moons twin stars two beings caught in each other's orbit and choosing every day to stay. sitting side by side on the mountaintop, hands entwined, lumine's head on his shoulder. breathing. loving. living.
#feeling so normal right now#um. um. um.#yeah i have no excuse im just out of my fucking mind#currently being plagued with post-chasm thoughts where zhongli saving xiao lent him energy and that energy Fades#and xiao is fucking exhausted and still hurt and completely burnt out#and lumine is there and its the first time he enters the teapot because if she says theyll be safe there he trusts her#if lumine says no harm will come to them here he believes her#very 'you took care of me now let me take care of you'#washing the dirt and debris from their skin from their hair shielding his face with a hand so she doesnt get shampoo in his eyes#every movement gentle and careful and precise and purposeful. i love you on purpose i care about you on purpose that quote is so them too#making both of them food because neither of them need it but it helps with their energy regardless#making both of them sleep because they desperately need the rest#and its a little selfish of her to wrap her arm around him because she needs the reminder that hes there and safe and whole#but he doesnt stop her. and everyone has to be selfish at times#spending hours and hours laying there beneath the stars breathing deeply existing together remembering that theyre alive#idk. like i said. the quiet moments the unconditional trust#im so tempted to try and think of more but i am Stopping Myself finally. we're done we are DONE#one day i will be normal about them but until then.#aly.genshin#aly.writing

SHADOWS OF SORCERY | Part 18 | “Shadow of Hostility” | 1,758 words
Content Warning: Blood mention
Jaelin gestured toward some of the articles pinned up.
"Those ones have times," he said. "So I made a list of all the people my grandfather knew and I cross referenced his old planner on those dates and times. If they had an appointment with him at that time, I crossed them off." He showed them both the old planner on his desk, flipping through the pages to give them an idea of how detailed it was.
"He was meticulous."
"I'd say." Imogene said.
He's not the only one… Elora thought, seeing Jaelin's thinking process spread out all over the room. Imogene had to keep a straight face after hearing that.
Elora glossed over the list, and surely enough, the regional extractor was still there. He hadn't crossed him off. But there were still at least a few dozen other names too.
“Well, we came here to show you this —.” Elora held up the single newspaper article she had found.
Jaelin reached for it in a daze.
“When was this?”
“This morning.” Elora said.
Jaelin took his pen from his pocket to cross off the names of the employees listed in the article. He started to talk, distracted as he searched for names down the list.
“A lot of big magic companies contracted him… Maybe they want to take their magic and rewrite the security systems.”
An unsettled look crossed their faces. The extractor had already stolen so much magic. If this was really all the same person, what exactly were they going for? Why did they want so much magic?
They all went to grab something to eat shortly after.
They met Charlotte in one of the dining halls. She was already sitting at a round table waiting for them. She had a small notebook open and watched as an invisible stroke of magic wrote across the page—the lettering lighting up bright purple. It glowed the whole time it was being written. But Charlotte closed it as she saw her friends walking toward her.
“Hey.” Elora said, grabbing one of the chairs.
“Hey. I was just writing to my father… he said they had a spare luminess core they can give to the school. I asked him if they could give you one too, but he said they only had that one right now. But he’ll put you on a waiting list to get one as soon as they find another one.”
How fucking convenient, Elora thought. Of course he doesn’t want to give me a healing core.
“Oh, thanks. That’s really thoughtful… I didn’t think of that.” Elora said.
Of course she already thought of that.
The luminess core was the whole reason she was in this mess. But they were rare and didn’t bloom in abundance. They required a great deal of shade and ambient tree magic to grow.
“He said the school told him they’d probably resume exams tomorrow then.”
“Oh.” Jaelin slouched back in his seat. His exam would be tomorrow in that case. “I don’t have any exceptional abilities like you two… I’m probably going to get wrecked.” He was talking about Imogene and Elora, but his gaze drifted to Elora. “What about you? Are you average too?”
Elora had strategically bitten into her ham and swiss sub as soon as she realized where the conversation was going.
“Actually,” Elora said, still chewing, “I can kind of read thoughts too…”
“What?!” Jaelin sat up straight. “No way. What am I thinking?”
Imogene laughed politely before she cut in.
“It’s actually kind of annoying when people ask that…”
Jaelin sighed, letting it go.
“So I’m the boring one?”
Charlotte and Imogene giggled. Elora just smiled. Thankfully, he didn't press her.
Then a little while later into their conversation, Imogene caught sight of Kaden Brush walking down the aisle between the tables. He headed toward them with a dazed look in his eyes, holding a tray in his hands.
“Hey!” Imogene waved.
Kaden snapped out of his trance and lifted his gaze to acknowledge her. But he kept silent as he sat down with them.
“Oh, hey, how are you doing?” Charlotte asked. She had been wondering how he was doing since she healed him.
Kaden stared at his food. He wasn’t particularly a conversationalist.
“Fine.”
“Elora mentioned you guys practiced together this morning. How do you like being a caster so far?”
I hate it. I literally can’t stand it.
“It’s fine…”
“I’m sure it’s hard to get used to a whole new magic type though.” Charlotte said.
Of course it’s fucking hard. I’m learning how to do magic all over again. I never even had half of these abilities before.
“He’s doing a really nice job though!” Imogene said. “He’ll be a casting pro in no time!” Imogene nudged his arm with her elbow.
Kaden looked down at his food.
“Thanks…”
Imogene sensed his fondness for the reassurance. Mixed in with the heaviness of self doubt and anxiety.
The luminess core was delivered to the school that night.
The next day, initial progress monitoring exams resumed as normal. Imogene and Elora practiced casting with Kaden in the morning for some time. But when they were finished practicing, Elora looked over at Kaden carefully.
“Do you want to come see Jaelin’s match with us?”
The question sparked a sudden dazed look in his eyes; Elora had commanded him to agree anytime she invited him somewhere.
“Is that a yes?”
“Uh, yeah, I guess?” Kaden said, not really knowing why he had agreed. But there was a sinking feeling in his stomach as he recollected his own match just two days prior: being impaled with a dagger straight through the stomach. And hearing that the healing room’s luminess core had been stolen while he lay there bleeding out.
Imogene’s smile fell slightly as she read his mind.
They went to the stadium and found Charlotte and Jaelin in the stands. Exams had been running all day without incident. It was still a little while before Jaelin’s match started. But in time, his turn approached and he stood across from his opponent in the ring. He was matched against a caster named Isabelle Hayze.
“Oh, she’s a CARD type,” Charlotte said, recognizing her. “She has a really good reflex ability.”
Once the buzzer went off, Jaelin conjured daggers and threw them at her before they blew up in an explosion of purple light. She switched from defense to offense the next instant, blasting at him fast and hard so that he had to form a shield to block her. This wasn't good. He had to get her off attack mode, even just for a second.
So he threw one arm out to blast a gust of wind at her–his realist ability–and that tripped her up enough for him to whip the shield at her like a disc.
She twisted to the side, out of the way, blasting at him while she dodged.
“Jaelin has an aiming ability…” Elora said.
They had pitted impeccable reflexes against impeccable aim. As the two sorcerers battled on, it unfolded into a long series of near hits and misses. Jaelin’s aiming ability helped him guide his shields every time she fired at him—and Isabelle’s reflexes, of course, helped her dodge his hits.
It went on for a while before they both decided to switch solely to their respective environment magic: wind and light. Jaelin waved a strong, ongoing blast of wind at her while she formed a white orb of light in front of herself and it flashed across the entire arena.
Blinding him. He shut his eyes and turned his head away, keeping the winds going so she couldn't throw anything at him. The light was too blinding to look her way. Even all the staff and students in the audience looked away.
Imogene was squinting as she looked away, looking toward the back wall past the stands.
The squinting let her core magic sight slip though and–
Imogene’s eye caught on a student with three magic cores glowing from the center of her chest. Imogene blindly grabbed Elora’s wrist, somehow knowing exactly where it was, and squeezed it to convey her fear without saying anything.
All the while the match continued.
The blinding white light mixed with a purple casting light as Isabelle Hayze switched abilities, forcing back Jaelin’s wind with pure energy. It broke straight through the wind like a violet tornado, spinning right into him. The blinding white light hadn’t broken for long enough for him to see it coming.
The purple light tornado thrashed him against the wall and he collapsed the instant he dropped down. Jaelin groaned at the wave of pain. He wasn’t getting back up and fighting after a hit like that.
The buzzer sounded.
The audience cheered for Isabelle Hayze. Imogene shifted to glance at the back wall again and the student was gone. She scanned the crowd frantically. She could see everyone else’s light. Everyone around them only had a single magic core. Where did that student go?
Imogene held her hand over her bracelet charm anxiously. In the next few seconds, there was a shift among the teachers at the assessment panel as they received the message. A couple of them were already tending to Jaelin, but the other teachers got up and moved with urgency toward the stands.
An announcement came over the speaker for all students to remain seated:
We are going into lockdown. This is not a drill. I repeat: we are going into lockdown. This is not a drill.
"What's happening?" Kaden looked over at Imogene.
Imogene forced an anxious smile. Before she could say anything, she saw Professor Hawkins on his way down to her row, pacing to get there.
"Miss Imogene—."
Imogene got up and went to him.
"Can you identify them?"
She nodded. Elora started getting up to follow them, but Professor Hawkins cut her a look and said:
"Just Imogene."
Professor Hawkins and a few other teachers led her to the one of the exits where they were able to bypass the lockdown and head out to the foyer. The school had already apprehended the student she had seen–or so it appeared. The young student stood there shaking at the accusation.
The girl only had a single magic core.
It wasn't her.
Imogene shook her head.
Regents Academy of Magic did a sweep of the whole school, having called the Power Authority to send someone with core magic sight like Imogene.
But whoever it was, they were long gone by now.

inyvat asked: Aether had left HOURS ago. He’d made her seaweed soup be he’d left. She’d eaten it without tasting it. She wanted to throw it at him though he wasn’t anywhere in sight or on the ground but, her twin had made a lot and the thought of having to clean up a giant mess while she was heartbroken was less than ideal.
She laid in bed on her side, facing the door, all cried out. Those usually bright golden eyes of hers were now dull and dead looking. There was no life in them. Her arms were wrapped around her middle as if she were trying to protect her baby. Though all cried out; tears still clung to her lashes, they swelled in her eyes but didn’t fall.
When Ajax finally, FINALLY, came home after she knew he called and texted several times over, which would have made her laugh bitterly if she had way of laughing at this, she knew he’d panic. She wasn’t responding to him. She could actually see the terror in his eyes as his mind went straight to their baby’s well-being. She was obviously in a dangerous time right now with the chances of losing their little one very high.
She flinched though as he went to touch her. Those hands that had held her… they’d held her brother too. Those lips that had kissed her and smiled at her and promised her the world… Aether had received all of those too hadn’t he? “I KNOW.” she croaked, her voice breaking as she raised it just so she could be heard. She’d screamed and cried for a long time. If he called Aether, that homewrecker brother of hers would confirm this. Her voice hurt. She hurt. “I know about Aether.”
What was he going to say? she wondered. Make up excuses probably. “You have two choices right now. And only two. You either leave, go be with Aether like you apparently want to be, but we’re through and you will NEVER see me or this baby ever again. I will be the one raising it. You won’t be in the picture at all. That is your first choice. Your second one is this: and this is your ONE AND ONLY chance to make it up to me and this baby. Break it off with Aether if he hasn’t broken it off with you. Permanently. No more sex, no nothing from him. Then you and I will be going to counseling together. There will other hoops you’ll be going through of course, like going to every single check up with me for this baby for example, but you will be WORKING your ass off for this. You SHATTERED my heart and broke my faith in you as well as my trust. You DON’T deserve me or this baby and yet I’m willing to give you one final chance to make things right. But if you cheat on me again, and it doesn’t have to be with Aether, we’re through. Everything is canceled and you will be telling your family why. Do I make myself perfectly clear on this?” she asked, her voice hurting more and more as she spoke. But it had to be done. She wasn’t even looking at him. Her eyes were completely unfocused as if this was the only way she could even say anything without making to break something or crying again. “I hate you so much and yet I still love you, you fucking bastard. So those are the two options that I came up with. Either leave or stay and repair what you broke.”
today was different. it was odd, more than any other he'd experienced. at lunch, he'd tried to call lumine but she hadn't answered. he kept checking his phone throughout the rest of his shift, waiting for a text to let him know she'd been busy at that time, but nothing ever came. he even text her, and nothing. when he finally got off of work he tried calling and texting her several more times, and still nothing.
huh.
he was growing increasingly concerned, and because of that he opted to rush home, concerned for the safety of his betrothed. it couldn't be anything too bad though, right? he would've been contacted if she'd gone to the hospital for anything. such a realization calmed his nerves a bit, but still, this wasn't like her. even when lumine was busy, she would let him know right away.
✧ — ❝ oh lumi baby, there you are. i was so worried about you all day. you didn't call or text back. was something wrong with your... ❞ he'd gone to hug her the moment he walked in the door and noticed her sitting at the couch, but upon former inspection he'd realized her eyes were red and puffy, as if she'd spent a long time crying. she even flinched from his touch, and instantly, he knew. her words confirmed it.
well, fuck.
in an instant, he felt his world crashing around him. obviously, he never wanted her to know. he wasn't sure what he'd wanted to do about this whole predicament, but he knew he didn't want to resolve it so suddenly like this. he knew he had no room to mope and lament his problems because they were all self-caused, but still, he remained delusional in his belief that he'd find a way to mend things without anyone getting hurt.
( or he would've just kept at it forever, as that was easier than the confrontation. )
he trembled, tears gathering in his own eyes, listening as she spoke. he could hear easily how her own voice trembled and cracked as she spoke, as if she was gathering all of her strength to speak. he wanted to hold and comfort her, but he had a feeling she didn't want to be anywhere near him. what shocked him most, though, was the second option she presented him with. really? despite everything, she still wanted him? she was heartbroken, and he'd betrayed her in the worst way possible, and yet she still gave him another chance. he almost couldn't believe it. he knew it wasn't for him, it couldn't be. it was because of how much she loved him. it wasn't easy for her to just let him go. he realized that. that's why it was even an option. and despite everything, he really loved her too.
he felt lucky, almost, that there was a chance for him when he didn't deserve it. they both knew he didn't, and yet... the answer was obvious.
✧ — ❝ lumine i... i'm so sorry. i know there's nothing i can say to make things right, but i do mean it. i didn't mean for things to... spiral out of control. it was stupid. i'm stupid, and you don't deserve this. you're so wonderful and sweet. you've been nothing but good to me... ❞ he said, words trailing off as he looked at her. his fingers twitched with the desire to reach up and caress her cheek, to offer her some sort of reassurance. sure, they had their rough patches and he'd literally cheated but... he loved her. he wouldn't have proposed to her her if he didn't. the issue remained that he loved her brother, too. he didn't know who he loved more, but there was only one choice he could make.
✧ — ❝ i'll stay. i want to raise our baby, lumi, and i want to make it up to you... i know i don't deserve it. you're too good to me, even now. anything you say, i'll do it. i'll be better. i promise. ❞ he said, but his promise meant so little. how could it work, even with counseling and his promises. he didn't see how her trust in him could ever be repaired. and her relationship with her brother...
✧ — ❝ are you really sure you still want to be with me, lumine? ❞

CONFESSION
Prompt: Y/N is having some trouble with Dexter’s new storyline, and he will have to use all of his tools to make her admit her feelings
Word Count: Long-ish
Pairings: Dexter Lumis x Reader
Warnings: +18, smut, dom x sub dynamic, brat taming (slightly), bondage (limb restriction), dirty talk (a shit ton), spanking (light), jealousy
Editor: @thenightmareismyreality
Tag: @moxgirl , @theworldofotps , @galens-mistress , @sassymox , @yungbludjazz360 and the lovely anon (who just like me) is a part of the “Thristy for Lumis” club 😈🤣
Notes: I wanted to “keep it light” with my first fic (hopefully first of many!) with this beautiful blonde man, so here we go. If you’d like to check out my other stories, you can find them on my Masterlist
Yes, I am a little jealous, ok? I’ll confess that to you, but to him? Never!
“Hey babe, I was thinking maybe we should-“ He stopped talking once he realized I was zoned out
“Y/N?” He asked, a little louder “Are you listening?”
“Yes” I spat
“Jeez, are you ok?”
“Peachy, just peachy” I mocked, applying the moisturizer on my skin, which was still damp from my shower
“You’re angry...and you’re angry at me, I presume” I could feel his blue eyes staring at me “What did I do? Did I say something? Do something? Or maybe, it was something I was supposed to do but didn’t?”
In the short amount of time since Dexter and Indi’s storyline started, it already irritated me deeply! I like Indi, she’s nice, funny, a good friend to me and a damn good actress! The way she convinced people that she was actually in love with Dexter was insane. Even I had a little trouble remembering that she isn’t.
But I’m...territorial, I don’t like people trying to get what’s ‘mine’ , so needless to say that the plot vs. reality is starting to get a little blurry for me (although it wasn’t for them)
I love Dexter, and I’m happy for him! I was also happy for Indi, but my brain was having a smidgen of trouble processing it.
“Hello? Earth to Y/N? Peanut...please talk to me?” He sweetly asked
I sighed “You’ve done nothing wrong, Dex. I’m just...it’s me ok? Don’t worry about it”
He sensed my insecurity and crawled to the very end of the mattress, kneeling when he reached the foot of it, staring at my still-standing figure.
Placing both of his hands on my hips, he trailed his nose up my neck and collarbone, saying
“You smell so fucking good” He tried to pull me towards the bed but I declined
“Dex, not right now” I took his hands off my hips and took two steps back
“Not right now?” He tilted his head to the side, in confusion, knowing I never decline to have sex with him “Something is wrong, what is it? What happened?”
“Nothing! I just...I’m not in the mood right now” I said
“You’re not in the mood?” He chuckled, in disbelief “Peanut, you’re ALWAYS in the mood! Fuck, even when I’m not in the mood you get me in the mood! So that excuse will not work for me. Tell me, what’s going on?”
“Dexter, please, not right now, ok? We’ll fuck as much as you want to later, just not now, damn it!” I said, angrily
“I’m not pushing you to talk because I want to fuck you, I’m pushing you to talk because there’s something on your mind, and instead of talking to me, your husband, like a grown woman would, you’re just pushing it to the side like a fucking teenager!” He grabbed my hands, asking “Don’t you trust me?”
I nodded, and he continued “So tell me what’s bothering you! I love you and I wanna help you! But I can’t do it if you don’t tell me what’s wrong, peanut”
“I don’t want to say it, because it’s dumb” I murmured
“Baby” He cupped my cheek “If it’s bothering you, it’s not dumb. Tell me, what is it?”
A muffled and inaudible ‘I’m jealous’ left my lips
“I’m afraid you will have to say it a little louder” He cackled
“I wish that storyline with Indi would be over soon” I looked up at him, to find a smug smirk
“You’re jealous?” He asked
“No! I’m not jealous! I don’t get jealous!” I crossed my arms in front of my chest
“Yes, you are!” He teased “I like when you get jealous, that way I know you still have the hots for me” He tried to grab my waist
“Stop it!” I shoved him away “The reason I don’t like the storyline is because you always receive a script with too many lines to memorize and…” I trailed off
“Babe, my character doesn’t talk!” He laughed “You will have to find another excuse for your jealousy”
“Stop saying I’m fucking jealous” I pouted
“Come here, my lil peanut” He beckoned me
“No, I don’t want to”
“Y/N, I said, come.here” His eyes were turning into a cold shade of blue
“And I said, no!” I stomped my foot
Dexter quickly grabbed a handful of my hair, and pulled me towards him
“When I tell you to come here, you better come here, do you understand?” He asked, with an icy tone in his voice
When I didn’t respond, he tugged on my hair harder
“Yes, sir” I said, nonchalantly
“Oh, she’s bratty today, huh?” His other hand wrapped around my neck “I’m sure we can fix that, can’t we?”
Part of me was mad at him for teasing me because of my jealousy but the other part was getting slightly turned on with his attitude. So I decided to test the waters
“Let me go” I yanked his hand off my neck, but Dexter stared at me amused, as he kept his grip firmly on my hair
“You don’t want me to let you go, do you?” He teased
I huffed in response, which made him laugh loudly
“Of course you don’t! You want me to fuck the jealousy out of you, don’t you, baby?”
“I’m not jealous” I tried to wiggle away from him, but that only made him tug on my hair harder
“Y/N, if you wanted me to make the jealousy go away, you just had to ask nicely”
“I don’t want anything from you” I spat
“Na ah” He slapped my face lightly “Don’t you fucking talk to me like that!” He warned “Ask for it nicely, like a good girl” He teased
“Fuck off!” I tried to push him away, but he was faster
Dexter pulled me towards the mattress, I landed on it facing down and he quickly straddled my hips, securing both of my wrists behind my back with one of his hands
“Such a dirty mouth for a pretty girl” He chuckled, dragging his cloth covered bulge against my ass
“You look so cute when you’re all mad like this'' Dexter bit my shoulder and scraped his teeth against my neck “So my lil peanut is jealous, huh?” He cackled “You think Indi will steal me away from you? That’s why you’re so angry?” He took my hair away from my face, so he could look into my eyes
I stared deeply at him, with something in my gaze making his blue eyes soften
“Baby, neither Indi nor anyone else could take me away from you, you’re the woman of my dreams! I don’t want nor need any other woman in my life. The storyline is just that: a storyline, pure fiction. I like Indi the same way that you do, as a friend! She’s never tried to cross that line and if someday she or any other woman crosses it, I know what to do. I love you and I’m more than happy with our marriage. You’re my best friend, my lover, my wife, you take care of me, support me, you’re my everything! My intelligent, sexy, funny and gorgeous everything! Do you understand what I’m telling you, peanut?” He asked softly
“Yes, Dex. I understand” I smiled
“Good, now” His eyes began to get mischievous again “About that attitude...” He trailed off, reaching down to his sweatpants and undoing the drawstring
“I’m sorry for my behavior, sir” I said sheepishly, with my eyes glued to his hand
“Oh, what a drastic change!” He smirked “If I knew that at the mere thought of a dick inside of you, you would change into a good girl so quickly, I would’ve shoved it in you earlier”
Dragging my oversized t-shirt up, Dexter began to slide one finger through my wet folds
“Please, sir” I moaned “I’ll be a good girl, I promise you, just please give it to me” I whined
“Such a greedy little whore for cock, aren’t you?”
I nodded, but that didn’t suffice to him
“Say it! I wanna hear you begging for it, I want you to say the words”
“I’m a greedy little whore for cock, sir. Please, give me your cock, sir. I need it so bad...please, I’ll behave. Can I have it? Please, let me have it” I begged
Dex knelt in between my knees and placed himself on my entrance, sliding only the tip in before he stopped
“You need it? So get it, it’s all yours!” He slapped my ass “C’mon, take it”
I moved back towards his dick, as much as my restricted arms and position would let me, but I couldn’t slide him as deep as I wanted nor could I move as fast as I wished, which made me whine in frustration
“Awww, my poor peanut, what’s wrong? You can’t go as fast as you want to, can you?” He teased and I shook my head
“Do you want me to do it for you instead? Do you want sir to fuck you deep and hard?”
“Yes, sir. Please!”
I gasped loudly when he finally gave me what I was begging for...hard, fast, rough and so deep.
“Is this what you wanted?” He asked
“Yes, thank you, sir”
The familiar burning was already starting to rise inside of me
“Are you gonna cum around my cock like a good little slut, Y/N?”
“Yes, sir” I said, breathlessly
“So what are you waiting for?” He chuckled in my ear, and that was the only confirmation I needed
Dexter slowed his pace as I came down from my high. Noticing he didn’t cum, I asked
“Why didn’t you cum?”
He slid out of me, released my wrists and turned me around, so I could face him
“Who said” He slid back in “I was done with you?” Smirking, he began to increase his pace bit by bit “I still need you to confess that you’re jealous” He winked
And I knew that this little game wouldn't finish until dawn..
Please, if you’re comfortable with it, let me know your thoughts on this? Feedbacks are always appreciated 🥰😘

a humble assortment of fluffy Illumi scenarios 🤍🖤🤍
My headcanon is that Illumi´s nickname in a romantic relationship is “Lumi-chan”
I´m taking Japanese classes atm so this headcanon just feels really intimate and cute
Also I saw on Instagram how someone called him Illumi “one braincell” Zoldyck and honestly... yes. I can see that. I can see that very well.
Support me on Ko-fi | Masterlist | My AO3
The first time it happened:
Illumi showed up to the café you had agreed on.
The green scarf looked cute and cosy on him.
“I am here on time. This is the right place.”
You had started laughing, carefree and light.
“Don´t be so serious, it´s a date!”
Whatever he thought of it, you had already started excitedly browsing through the menu. Maybe this wasn´t so bad after all.
“What would you like to order, Lumi-chan?”
It took him a few moments to reply, as his system had shut down with the Microsoft error noise.
“Don´t call me that. It is inappropriate.”
You pouted, leaning back in your chair.
“Why? It sounds cute. Don´t you like it?”
Illumi blinked.
“That is not decisive. If other individuals take notice they could mistake our relationship. “
“It´s common for couples to call each other nicknames! This way they would only know that I like you.”
Silence.
You beamed.
“Okay! Then I´ll just call you like that when we´re alone.”
Illumi didn´t respond. But when he turned to study the menu, maybe he held it a little too high to hide the blooming blush on his face.
`Only when we´re alone... why must she say things like that´
---
“Just five more minutes!”
Your arms tightened around his broad shoulders, determined to prolong your precious time together. Illumi however was an unyielding force as he ascended from the couch with you clinging to him koala-style.
“It is time, I have to leave now.”
He carefully placed you back onto the pile of pillows and blankets as if lowering something made of glass. Always so gentle with you.
Accepting your faith you nevertheless wanted to try your luck, winking cheekily.
“For real? Then... how about a goodbye kiss?”
Illumi halted in his movements, only partially influenced by you clasping his wrist. Unblinking flawless pools of darkness stared back into your eyes, searching for clues as to why you wanted to part with something initiating intimacy.
“You know, to take off the edge. To store some love so that I don´t miss you so much~” You flirted, twirling a strand of his ebony hair. Illumi nodded slowly, not really able to decode your words, yet understanding that what you searched for was comfort.
So, naturally, he took your chin in between his fingers and kissed you.
In fact, he kissed you so passionately that you let out a small squeak in the back of your throat as his clever tongue infiltrated your mouth.
Releasing you after minutes to inspect your face, with your kiss swollen lips and flushing down to your neck, Illumi went back into thoughts. Was this what comfort looked like? The watch however called his name.
“I got to leave. I´ll return right away when it´s finished.”
Reassuring himself one last time, he gave you a genuine pat on the head. Nodding internally, Illumi left, leaving you behind hot and flustered.
“What kind of parting kiss was that....”
---
Warning: NSFW
Maybe it hadn´t been the best idea to sneak you in for a secret sleepover.
Illumi held your mouth tightly shut, controlling a steady amount of pressure as not to accidentally cut off your oxygen. It was meant to keep in your hot noises of absolute delight, panted and whimpered against the barrier of his fingers while he moved in a set rhythm.
The Zoldyck estate was deathly silent. No music, no conversation. Every single noise violating a certain pitch could lead a household of power–hungry assassins your way.
Illumi knew he couldn´t let the two of you be too loud. But as the seconds ticked by, it became harder and harder to contain his own pleasure. You were gripping and squeezing him so tight, just the thought of it caused him to shut his eyes tightly as to rule out the overwhelming force of pleasure.
While you were constantly riding up to a cliff, Illumi looked more and more like he was suffering. The intimacy brought him closer to the edge with each thrust, yet he knew he couldn´t let himself fall. You were so tight and wet and warm. He didn´t trust his abilities this time.
You whimpered against his hand, warm breath hitting his skin and just a second later he realized that it had been his name. He shut his eyes from anew, a wave of shivers chasing down his spine. His cheeks glowed in the limited candlelight, head pounding as if in a throw of fever.
“Illumi”
He growled faintly, narrowing his eyes at you in warning. I must not, I must not -
Yet unbeknownst to him, you had a plan to make him do exactly that.
As you brought his face up close to whisper those devilish words into his ear.
“None of that, Illumi. Come now. Right fucking now.”
Your fingers weaved into his hair and before your lover could keep up, you pulled - Illumi´s eyes flashed open before he violently shivered. The sweet pain rushing through his veins right to his core.
With the force of a wave crashing into the stormy sea, Illumi´s body clenched and released and he came in a silent scream.
Later, when the candles had burned down, taking the unbelievable heat of his body with them, Illumi dared to move.
His dark eyes spoke of deep satisfaction, never mind the tiredness that weighed on his eyelids. You silently chuckled to yourself, stroking his hair and placing a kiss on his forehead.
“Sleep, my darling.”
And against every reflex trained into him, Illumi let his eyes slipped closed. Here, holding your warm body close and tight, he let exhaustion take over.

Betrothred Ch. 1 - Illumi Zoldyck x Reader
Chapter 1: Bride
Summary: After making your choice, there’s no going back from it.
Warnings: Blood, Murder, Threats, Angst
Words: 2390
Story Masterlist
A/N: This first chapter is kinda angsty but it gets better, I swear!
Today is the day.
Even though only mere hours would separate you from becoming a part of the Zoldyck family, the whole situation still felt very much surreal to you.
To be invited and welcomned on their property was one of the greatest honor of all, but to be considered a fitting consort for their eldest son was just unimaginable.
One of the butlers was harshly braiding your hair, trying to get it in a position you’d usually never wear. Another one would be working on your make-up, something you’d usually find unnecessary considering your profession.
Why would an assassin care for their physical appearance anyway? Well, all of this was probably part of some kind of tradition or ritual.
No matter how roughly they were tearing and tugging on you, trying to modify your body until you wouldn’t even recognize yourself in the mirror, you’d take their invasion of your personal space in a calm demeanour.
Because that’s how you were raised.
Obey, endure and function.
Your bloodline had a long history of both feared and powerful Head Hunters, for decaded being third place of all known assassin families - with the Zoldycks claiming the indisputable top.
Torture, poison and death were your fellow comrades throughout your whole youth, even though there were limits:
Only the most promising children would be chosen to become Head Hunters. The others were free to choose their way as they wished.
Your upbringing was strict, yet loving. And it was forbidden to break your free will. Serving the family should be an honor, not a burden.
Other than the Zoldycks, your family believed that emotions could become the surce of strenght.
There were other moral standarts: Murdering children was off limits, for example.
And your ‘carreer’ was just about to begin when it took this unexcpected turn.
You had met your soon-to-be-husband after finally completing your formal training, now allowed to take on the Hunter Exam.
Already accustomed to the basics of Nen, it was easy for you to see behind the disguise of the man calling himself Gittarackur.
At first being rather passive, even as the two of you completed the Trick Tower together, he soon stated to be impressed by your exceptional strenght and capability.
Truth be spoken, you always thought yourself to be mediocre at best. So that sudden compliment hit you off guard, especially after he casually revealed his true identity and heritage.
Immediately after the exam, you gathered all of your courage and asked Illumi to teach you in the ways of a true assassin - so you could grow and become the next leader of your clan.
And much to your surprise, he instantly accepted, not even wanting anything in return. You were useful to him and his missions, he stated. That would be enough.
After that, it wouldn’t take long until the stoic man announced that you’d make for a formidable spouse, asking your father for your hand in marriage.
Even though you weren’t quite sure if you made the right decision, his proposal alone the greatest honor for your kin and you just couldn’t disappoint them.
Illumi had always been very reserved about anything else than his work, making you doubt he was even capable of feeling anything else than the joy of killing.
Yet he was a reliable ally, both smart and strong - and admittedly very good looking. You were convinced that he wasn’t the monster most people saw in him: He had just been molded to be the perfect assassin.
And because of that, he would make for a good husband as well.
“Well, don’t you look beautiful?” The voice behind your back was Kikyo, dismissing the servants with a single gesture of her hand.
You wanted to stand up and make a curtsy as a sign of respect, yet felt her palms on your shoulder, pressing down so you’d remain in your seat.
Looking in the mirror, you saw your mother in law behind your back, her visor making it hard to read her intentions. Her aura gave it all away, though.
Illumi’s proposal surprised her just as much as yourself, and she obviously wasn’t content with it. You actually doubtet that she’d ever consider someone good enough to marry one of her children, so you didn’t take it personal.
The pressure would only help you grow.
“You’ll become the perfect partner for my son, won’t you?” Her fingernails dug deep into your flesh, but you didn’t even flinch. “Of course, honorable mother.”
“Good.” Apparently your answer didn’t calm her fury, since her fingermails only turned in the wounds they dug into your flesh. She only stopped when she realized that the blood was staining your clothes.
“I don’t expect any less from a lowlife like you are.” Seems like you should stay alerted around her. But that was no surprise, and it didn’t scare you either.
You knew what you were getting yourself into. And it was worth it.
To prove your worth, you’d go even beyond your limits.
“It’s time, Y/N.”
Up until now, you hid your emotions very well - but hearing that familiar, monotonous voice, you couldn’t help but smile.
“Illumi!” Kikyo shreeked out, “You’re not allowed to see Y/N before the ceremony!”
“Unnecessary superstition” he retorted quite unaffected, approaching both of you.
Kikyo stepped back, revealing you fully. He took in your appearance, rather observing than anything else. “Is that your blood?”
“Nothing worth mentioning.”
He grabbed your ankle, forcing you up from his seat to look at him. “How did this happen?”
You didn’t dare answering. It was not your place to drive a wedge between your fianceé and his mother, even though you highly doubtet that he would care at all.
Illumi turned around, his blank stare now directed to his mother, who defendingly put her hands into the air. “I-I was just advising-”
“No need for that” he cut her off. “I can take care of any business concerning my partner myself.”
Now she got all hysterical again, just as you got to know her. “B-but-”
“Never touch them again, or I’ll kill you.”
Kikyo relented, then having a mental breakdown for excactly 5 seconds, screams and cries filling the room.
The air had gotten incredibly thick, the unsettling atmosphere making you wish to just disappear right on spot.
“Oh, Illumi!” she exclaimed, sounding jubilant all of a sudden. “Being so cruel to your own mother...You’ve grown so much!”
What a weird fucking family.
“Show me your arms” Illumi demanded after he told his mother to be left alone, yet you flinched away.
“I apologize for having provoked an argument” you spoke all humble, “My wounds are of no concern. Don’t worry.”
“Starting today, I’m expected to take care of you. So you should obey and let me patch this up.” You sat down with a small sigh, exposing your shoulders and presenting them to him. “It would be a shame if you get scarred by something else than a honorable battle.”
Eventually you found time to appreciate your fianceé’s exterior: Illumi had his hair braided back, wearing a fully black suit with a white shirt and a bow tie.
It was the first time you ever saw him in formal wear, and it actually suited him very well.
“You’re very handsome, Lumi” you absentmindedly blurted out as you watched him bandage the wounds on your shoulder.
And Illumi would acknowledge your looks in his own way. “Your appearance is very adequate for this occasion as well.” That counts as a compliment, right?
“Glad you like it” you smiled, “But sadly the stains won’t get out. And we have no time to clean off the blood.”
Illumi swiftly helped you on your feet once again, vaguely explaining “Don’t worry. It won’t stand out after the ceremony.”
You linked arms with Illumi, who led you to the main room as you still pondered about what exactly he meant with that statement.
The celebration would be a small one, not even your own family being allowed to attend. When you entered the generously decorated hall, there were only Silva, Kikyo, Zeno, Kalluto and Milluki.
“Welcome, Y/N” Silva spoke in a way more welcoming tone than his wife earlier. You bend your head as you stood in front of the table where the family had gathered, greeting them politely before making your way to the altar.
Zeno would be the one to confirm the bond. You were actually glad that it was him, because he had already grown fond of you.
“Are you ready?” the old man wondered, noticing how you were trembling.
“Far away from it” you chuckled without doubt, adding “But I’m prepared to do anything.”
“That��s a honest but brave answer, young adult” he paised in an attempt to calm you down, then arranging both you and Illumi to stand facing each other. “And just what you need to become part of this family.”
One sign of Silva and the door swung open, a Bunch of butlers dragging in a terribly inured human.
Much to your shock, the person was not dead - not yet.
“So it begins” Illumi whispered as he saw the man wince in pain, begging for his life, and he almost cracked something like a smile.
“Wha-” Before you could even comprehend what was happening, it hit you like a brick: You were supposed to finish that person off.
That was what Illumi meant. A few blood stains on your wedding dress really were your smallest problem considering what awaited you from this day on.
“That man invaded our property with the intend to kill us” Silva explained to you, his stare bringing across his demands. “You’ll prove your loyality through ending his life.”
At that moment, you knew that you’ll disappoint them - because you were frozen in place.
You had taken and destroyed so many lives, yet always had the full information on them and could decide through your own standarts. But now?
What if it was a lie? You didn’t know that man, why he was here or if he deserved death.
Maybe he had family or came for revenge. Goddamn it, he could even be a reporter who just sneaked in to snatch a photo! Or they had presented you a completely innocent man, seeing if you were the undoubting slave they wanted to have!
Madness runs in this family, apparently.
It was a test. You knew that much. Quite fitting for someone from a family which was only rank three, known for their rather humane way of working.
“No Nen allowed” Kikyo completed the task, “No guns or similar either. You may only use your bare hands or close combat weapons.”
Yes. It was way harder, imprinting your soul to kill that direct way. How you’d deal with the situation was crucial for the outcome of this wedding.
But were you really ready to throw all of your morality abroad just for your own sake?
“We won’t kill you if you decline the order” Illumi cut off your brooding. Was it out of sympathy? You had no idea. “You’ll be considered unfitting, but you are free to leave and no one will ever bother you again.”
“N-No” you stumbled across your own words, “I’ll do everything for the family.”
“Interesting” Zeno stated. “I never doubtet your spouse, Illumi, but I thought they'd take longer to decide.”
"I think Y/N will make for a great companion.” Silva’s wide grin streched across his face, making his eyes wrinkle a bit. “In both family and business.”
When all was said and done, Illumi grabbed a knive that was placed on the altar. “Let’s do it together, then.”
You almost felt guilty that you became flustered in a moment like this, but couldn’t help it as Illumi genuinely smiled at you, taking your hand as you took firm steps towards the enemy.
“P-Please have mercy!” the man pleaded to no avail, and determination swelled in your chest at that intense moment.
Taking someone’s life together - it would connect two people in a cruel yet beautiful way.
Whatever else could be more fitting for the marriage of two assassins?
It would be an easy kill. He was unable to flee or fight back. Just a single strike, ending his life quick as act of mercy.
“You should’ve known better than to mess with my new family.”
Both of your hands intertwined, wrapping your fingers around the handle of the knive before thrusting it into the victim’s chest.
And then it dawned to you.
“A needleman?” you sulked, ripping out one of Illumi’s needles out of the stranger’s head, while the others broke out in boisterous laughter.
“Yeah. He was already dead” Illumi shrugged. “I know you don’t like burdening yourself with victims you didn’t choose yourself. But we needed to test you anyway. It’s a tradition.”
Was he actually respecting your boundaries?! What the-
“I like your guts!” Silva attempted to pat your back, but it felt rather like he was going to break your spine. “Sorry for our harsh methods. I know it can be a bit much at the beginning. You’ll get used to obey our rules slowly, don’t push yourself.
Even Kikyo embraced you, now almost convincing motherly. “Reminds me of my first kill for the family!”
It almost felt like those people could actually feel compassion for others. They at least had undoubtingly strong bonds with each other, even if their way of living together was rather unusual.
Stiff movements as always, Illumi placed his hand on your head, almost as if a robot was trying to mimick human interaction. “I’m proud of you. I knew I chose well.”
The rest of the ceremony was just as you expected it: No vows, no rings, no music, no kiss. Just you and Illumi hearing to whatever Zeno had to say about bringing honor and wealth to the family, bearing strong offsprings, and other things that were the exact opposite from romantic.
“Blood for blood” Zeno stated now instead of “You may now kiss”, and every family member repeated it.
You took the knife from the altar once again, cutting your palm until it drew blood without any hesitation. Illumi would now do the same, then reaching out his hand for yours to hold.
As your fluids mixed before dropping to the floor, you unsucessfully searched for any hint of emotional reaction in your husbands expressionless face.
His eyes however would never leave yours, his hand firmly squeezing yours before Zeno announced:
“Your fates are now inextricably connected.”

Emergency
TW: Blood, Vomit, Fainting, Not Breathing, etc.
While making small talk Dark glanced ahead
“I have a very bad feeling”
Dark said rubbing his arm
“Like what?”
Anti asked curiously
“Not sure, just feels like…something is happening”
Dark said confused before glancing up at the sky
“I guess…it’s night? It’s so hard to tell when the sky looks the fucking same”
Anti said and glanced around
“Do we just…sleep in the forest tonight?”
“Yeah I guess, the forest seems safe enough”
Dark said and the two made way to a small clearing to sleep for the night
Well into the night Dark was woken up by a sudden force hitting his body
He groaned and opened his eyes as he started to process things again
“Answer your fucking phone I’m about to break it”
Anti groaned in annoyance sitting up clearly annoyed his sleep was interrupted
Dark rubbed his eyes and answered putting it on speaker
“Hello?”
He said with a hoarse voice before glancing down realizing Faith was calling him, it was silent
“Faith?”
He said confused
“Home…please!”
Her voice broke up as the signal was getting weak
“Home? Faith you’re breaking up I can’t hear you”
He said
“Please get home!”
Her voice yelled through the phone causing both of the men to jump
“Why? What is going on Faith?”
Dark asked
“Pandora’s throwing up blood and we don’t know what to do!”
She said with clear stress in her voice
Dark glanced at Anti who hesitated
“Faith I need you to tell me who’s with you”
Dark said and static came through the phone before he lost signal completely
“Let’s go”
Dark said standing up
“That’s a long way back how do you expect us to get home”
Anti said
“Use your brain you fucking glitch, get us there”
He grumbled
“Aye you have similar powers you can do it”
Anti grumbled glitching them back to the apartment building
Dark glanced around as the halls were quiet
“She didn’t say what room she’s in”
Dark said thinking before he started to walk towards Pandora’s bedroom
Opening the door he blinked in shock at the sight
Pandora was curled on the floor with her head basically in the bucket she was holding, Alex rubbed her back and held her hair worriedly
“Dad!”
Juliette said at the sight of him
“W-we don’t know what’s going on, we were just asleep!”
Juliette said worriedly holding her sister who was almost crying
Dark moved and knelt beside Pandora, he gave a nod to Alex and they moved back letting Dark replace them
“Pandora?”
He said softly moving his hand above hers, she gripped onto his hand and it was tight
He hasn’t seen Pandora cry in years but tears streamed her face as her eyes were shining a bright purple and blue
“What’s…happening to me”
She groaned holding his hand tighter, her body jerked forward a bit as she lets out a sudden gasp
He rubbed her back glancing down into the bucket noticing the bits of blood
“Someone go get Edward”
He said and Anti nods leaving
He glanced at the others and noticed Luca in the room, he tilted his head and glanced back down at Pandora
“I’m not even going to ask why you are in my daughters' room”
He grumbled as he fixed Pandora's hair
“I….yes sir”
Luca said quietly as he shifted on Juliette’s bed uncomfortably
Hearing Pandora gag he held her hair as she started to vomit again
“Anti you better hurry”
Dark grumbled and glanced at the room again
Lumi was comforting Faith as Alex sat beside Luca, Juliette was staring at Pandora with clear pure worry in her eyes
Edward walked into the room surprisingly still working in his doctors' outfit, he knelt down and took over
“Was he…”
“Asleep at his desk? As usual”
Anti grumbled
After a second he puts Pandoras’ hair up into a bun as he was observing the crystal that was still broken
It was fading in color and more pieces were starting to fall off
“I think her crystal being broken is starting to have severe effects”
Edward said thinking
“But…aren’t the crystals only for communication?”
Lumi asked confused
“It’s connected to their entire system, a major protector against illnesses and harm…without it, I do believe Pandora can be put into a serious medical emergency”
Edward said before glancing at Dark
“You need to fix this now”
“I need Wilford we did it together”
He said thinking and teleported Wilford into the room
Wilford fell to the floor sound asleep surprisingly just in his boxers
Anti chuckled
“He wears themed boxers?”
He said in amusement
“Just get clothes on him!”
Faith groaned as she and the other girls were just looking away
Dark sighed and teleported clothes onto him before waking him up
“Hmph?”
Wilford opened his eyes tiredly
“We need to fix this crystal come on”
“Mmm…okay”
He said clearly not processing anything, Dark stared at him as Wilford didn’t move starting to fall back to sleep
“For fucks sakes just…”
Anti said and slapped Wilford
Wilford jumped and sat up
“I’m awake!”
Wilford said and shook his head crawling on his knees over
Dark took the crystal pieces from his pocket and puts the small pieces into the hole that the crystal has created
Wilford took his hand and they both covered it as it began to shine
Both staying focused it was deafening silence within the room
That until a loud crackle echoed the room as the two quickly pulled their hands back
“Agh”
Dark grabbed his hand in pain glancing down at the burn mark
“Her body’s rejecting the crystal”
Dark said
“W-what does that mean?”
Faith asked hesitantly
“I…don’t know”
Dark said as he stared down at Pandora worriedly
Her head leaned forward as her body started to relax
Edward moved his hand into her hair and pulled her head back slightly to see if she was ok
While he did something made a small noise and Darks eyes widened at what he saw
A piece of Pandora’s horn broke off and fell next to her leg
“H-her horn…”
Juliette said in shock
Edward suddenly stood and picked Pandora up
“Office now”
He said and he started to run with Pandora in his arms
“All of you stay here”
Dark said
“But-“
“No buts just stay!”
Dark said and took off after Edward worried about his child

👫 for ardbert & venat
Venat: (for fun we have two points in the canon timeline and one au)
Hestia met Venat when she was a teenager; this is when Venat decided to take her on a pupil in preparation for nominating her as her successor to the seat of Azem. Hestia flailed at her for a week about it.
in the twitch gamer modern day au where lumi and hestia are twins, venat is one of hestia's classmates at culinary school and sometimes joins hestia's cooking videos. these videos usually include at least one segment where venat offers zodiark something progressively more spicy each video just to see what he does. lumi thinks she is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
lumi got super fond of venat during the days she was in elpis, and was super upset venat sent her back and didn't allow her to stay and help or anything. she's held a slight grudge about that forever since even though she knows venat was right.
hestia was very upset with venat when she told her what the plan with hydaelyn was going to be; mostly because by that point she considered her a good friend and she realized she was going to lose her
Ardbert:
mock fighting's their thing; they flirt via insults. the more they insult each other, the more likely it is they're gonna need a room soon
ardbert's suffering Eternally when it comes to adventuring with lumi, because she can and will just eat an aoe to finish a spellcast so more than once he'd had to sprint across an entire fucking field to shield her from an aoe she probably shouldn't be eating
lumi likes to rub her cheek against his dumb scruff little beard and he just has to put up with it honestly. he'd rather die than admit he thinks it's cute tho
sometimes he just smothers her under blankets bc she's being annoying. it's fine.
#bladeshowers#hcs#{it's your reflection looking back to pull you down;; pre sunder verse}#{now my heart is electrified;; twitch gamer au}#{telling stories of us; we’ll live in the stars;; main verse}

Oh Lumi I love "You take the bed, you need it more than me" 🥺 Can I request that one with felix pls? Im so sorry if you get too many felix requests, but you write him so well!!
This is 1.4k words I don’t even know how I did that but like 😳 (thats why it took me ages because adhd brain inhibits me from just knocking it out in one sitting)
I hope y’all like it 🥺
—
Silent Travels || Felix Fraldarius
The clouds grew dark and weighed heavy above, tentative drops threatening to fall more with each passing moment.
Felix Fraldarius was called for by his father to return home for undisclosed reasons. In an even more surprising move, the young lord had asked you to accompany him when the professor insisted he not go alone.
Why had he asked you and not, say, Sylvain? No one could say, really. Well, perhaps some could, but they didn’t, which perplexed you even more when you had asked.
But now it had been well into your travels, threats of rain looming overhead, and an unbearable silence had fallen between you. It was a 2 day trip on the fastest route, so you silently hoped that it wouldn’t be this painfully quiet the whole time.
“Felix? Why’d you ask me to come?” You finally pipe up “why not... like... Sylvain?”
The man sighed, though he didn't look in your direction. “Really? He’s more of a nuisance than anything. Especially since he’d just flirt with my house maids again.”
That’s a fair point. You probably should have considered that.
“I didn’t ask you because you were an obvious choice, you’re just far less annoying than anyone else.”
The icy tone of his voice warned you not to dig further. You knew he wasn’t interested in small talk right now.
“So, where will we be—“
“There’ll be an inn on this road eventually.” He interrupted.
“Okay.”
Another long hour of quiet befell the two of you before arriving at the aforementioned inn. It hadn’t become significantly darker considering the gray clouds overhead, but it still had grown much colder.
In truth, Felix had been averse to banter not because he found you annoying, but because he was annoyed he fell victim to the professor’s meddling. They hadn’t just told Felix not to go alone, but specifically told him to bring you.
The thing was, he didn’t want to outright tell you this... it would raise more questions than answers. The ravenette treated you with significantly less poison in his words and with significantly more gentle gestures. Significant for him wasn’t much, really, but the ones who knew him well caught on fast. Dimitri, Sylvain, and Ingrid knew it, and now supposedly the professor too.
You waited outside with your two horses as Felix went inside to pay for a room. The rain that threatened to fall all day was beginning to leak from the clouds in heavy drops. Good timing.
Felix emerged with a huff and brows furrowed together angrily.
“My father neglected to send along travel expenses, and the professor didn’t give me much either. It seems we can only afford one room if we want to eat in the morning.”
“Oh.. hm.” You reply, though not fully processing the logistics of the situation “what about the horses?”
“Did you not see the stable?” He all but snapped at you.
“I meant the cost, Felix.”
“Oh, er, boarding them is free. It’s feeding them that’ll cost us. Luckily that’s something the professor thought of.”
“So she packed food for the horses but none for us? Funny that.” You snicker, effectively lightening the mood.
“Funny.” Felix parroted. “Now let me take the horses to a stall before the rain starts falling steadily.”
“I can do it.” You insist, but Felix quickly takes the reins from you and doesn’t acknowledge your statement.
Without another word, the ravenette walked away with the two horses. He didn’t give you the room key in return, but you hadn’t noticed until you stepped inside.
The inn seemed lively, despite the gloomy weather. Drinks were passed to and fro and many were engaged in lively conversations. A complete 180 to the past few hours of travel you experienced.
You took a seat at an empty table whilst waiting for your travel companion. It wasn’t in the center, but it wasn’t exactly too far from all the action either. The time spent idle you couldn’t help but think that Felix was likely having a hard time untacking the less cooperative of the two horses. That was precisely the reason you offered to do it, but you weren’t going to mention it now.
Suddenly, and less than gracefully, a clearly inebriated man had sauntered his way up to your table.
“Ohhh! What’s a pretty little thing like you doing all alone here, hmm?” He slurred, slamming his tankard of beer down on the table as he took a seat
“Um, well I’m just waiting for—“
“Waiting? Oh, no no no!” He shook his head “No one should keep such a woman waiting!”
“Well I... he’s just—“
“Fuck off old man.” Felix had reemerged, ice in his tone and fire in his eyes.
“Ohhh, so your man makes an appearance!” The man taunted, seeming less and less sober as he chose to insult Felix.
“He’s not my—“
“And what about it? What were your intentions if I hadn’t shown up? Can’t you see how uncomfortable she is?” He spat, not letting the man get in a single word.
“Well, I was just—“
“Just nothing. Fuck off!”
You had stood at that moment, concern riddled across your features and a hand placed on Felix’s shoulder to keep him from lunging at the man. Tugging a bit at his shirt, you managed to pull him away from the fight waiting to happen.
“Let’s just go to our room and get some rest, okay?” You suggested, leading away the still furious boy away from the crowd of people.
The two of you moved in unison over creaking floorboards down the hall to find the room which the number on the door matched the engraving on the key Felix had received.
It was a small room, modestly decorated and, in your opinion, quite cold. It wasn’t necessarily what you had in mind, but it didn’t disappoint considering it was their only lodging option.
After a long moment, Felix broke the silence. “You take the bed, you need it more than me.”
Right... that was a prominant feature of the room: one bed.
Unthinking, you blurted out “Couldn’t you have gotten a room with two beds?”
Silence met your words as Felix thought this over. He hadn’t outright mentioned he was not a lone traveler, but he assumed the inn clerk had seen you outside. Clearly they had just assumed the two of you were a couple. And that man from before had too...
Felix attempted to clear his throat in a nonchalant manner, but it seemed to backfire as he almost choked. If you looked clearly, you could see the pink that dusted his cheeks.
“What’s done is done,” He tried to shrug it off. “I wasn’t thinking. Just take the bed.”
“Do you plan to sleep on the bare floor?”
Your tone was lighthearted, poking fun at his mistake. Had anyone else made such comments Felix surely would have snapped at them. Instead, he just shook his head.
“Seriously, at least take some pillows and blankets. Or we can go ask the inn worker.” You insisted.
“I’ll be fine.”
“Stop being so stubborn! I don’t want you to get bad sleep and be even crankier than usual.”
“The hell do you mean by ‘even crankier’?!”
You gestured vaguely as if to imply “you’re literally being cranky right now”. He turned away from you and crossed his arms, clearly understanding your meaning but ignoring it nonetheless.
“It’s not a small bed. We could probably both fit.” You finally say, breaking the long held silence
“I’m going to act like you didn’t just say that.” He replied dryly.
The realization that you spoke your thoughts aloud hit you like a ton of bricks. You hadn’t thought much of the implications at first, but now your face had become noticeably red.
“Whatever. I’ll be back.” Felix exited the room, presumably taking your suggestion.
Flustered, you allowed yourself to flop down onto the bed. You moved your hands to your face and felt the warmth of your cheeks.
Felix returned not long after with news of the two of you switching to a more accommodating room. He didn’t mention the disappointed look on the inn clerk’s face when he had explained the situation to them...
The rest of your travels were met with the same degree of silence as before, though now it was a much more awkward silence. Rodrigue later brought this up, but Felix denied any implication that the older man threw at him.

WARNING! VERY LONG! AND ALSO TALKS ABOUT ABUSE AND MANIPULATION AND ALSO MENTIONS OF ALCOHOL.
Please don't read if that triggers you!
ALSO MAJOR AND I MEAN MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DRAKENGARD 3 AND POSSIBLY EVILLIOUS CHRONICLES TOO. — Submission
It has been like a millennium since I have sent you any sort of things about a character (or in this case, characterS) but as I recently revised the story of this very fucked up pair of twins, I decided to show them to you. They are specifically characters in an RP of mine with my friend Jade which is a crossover between Evillious Chronicles and Drakengard 3.
Here's a bit of context:
The Intoners are beings that can use the power of song, but their true purpose is to destroy the world. The original Intoner was Zero, who became an Intoner after the Flower, some sort of being that the Gods created to destroy the world, took root inside of her corpse and effectively 'revived' her as an Intoner; also, Zero wasn't always called Zero, previously she was named Rose (which wasn't her birth name, as she has no birth name), but she changed her name to Zero after she became an Intoner (it's unknown why). After Zero tried to kill herself when she realized that she'd eventually be forced to destroy the world by the Flower, the Flower, sensing her hostility towards it, birthed five beings from her as sort of 'backups' in a sense to ensure it would succeed in destroying the world: One, Two, Three, Four, and Five. These beings are all in some way like Zero, as they were created from fragments of her memories, personality, and resemble people from Zero's past; e.g. One resembles a rebel girl who Zero was tied up next to as she was left to die in town's square of some village as punishment for her crimes of murdering hundreds of people; Five resembles a nun who Zero had killed at some point before she became an Intoner; etc. The Flower did this on purpose to make Zero hesitate in killing them, which...on paper it would seem to be a good idea, but Zero's not the type to hesitate in killing anybody, unless it's someone she cares about (which, the only people she cares about are not even really 'people', their dragons), and she don't give two fucks about the other Intoners at all, so, yeah.
'HERS' is a acronym for 'Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome' and its a fictional disease in Evillious that when your infected you become compelled into doing violence, as the goal of anybody whose ends up with HERS is to destroy the world and everybody in it; well that's an oversimplified explanation of it.
The Climb One is a ship that the last Earthlings from the Second Period used to escape their dying planet.
The First Period was the very first world in Evillious, which heavily resembled our world; the Second Period was a virtual reality created by the people of the First Period which also heavily resembled our world. At some point the First Period died (it's implied that a nuclear war happened there which is why everybody there died) and thanks to Behemo the Earthlings on the Climb One were taken into reality and they found the ruined First Period planet and on its ruins was built the Third Period (which was a world of its own). Oh and the humans from the Second Period are referred to as Earthlings in order to differentiate them from First Period/Third Period humans as they were originally not even 'real'.
Sickle is a robot built by an Earthling named Luna Hazuki and eventually he becomes a god and takes the form of a bat who observes the people of the Third Period.
Medora is another OC of mine from my RP with Jade. Her story is a story for another time ^^'
Aurende is an original kingdom of mine, not a country that's canonly in EC.
Why are Lumina and Eliora Romanian? I dunno I found out Lumina means sunshine in Romanian and just went with it; it's an insignificant detail anyways that's not exactly very relevant to Lumina and Eliora's stories but is just there.
Alright the context dumping is done with ^^''''' go onto the Evillious Chronicles and Drakengard wikis, they can give you a lot more less simplified context for this stuff but I think I told you the bare minimum you need to understand whats going on? I hope I gave you enough context to understand ^^'

Background + Personality: Lumina is a prideful but vengeful girl, whose been irreversibly scarred by the events of her and her twin sister’s childhood. Her mother died giving birth to her and her sister, which caused her father to blame her and her sister for their mother’s death, giving him an excuse to constantly beat her and starve her and her sister. Lumina did her best to protect Eliora from their father, taking most of their father’s beatings. Due to their father being an alcoholic and his alcoholism only causing her and Eliora to be abused even more horribly and brutally whenever he was drunk, Lumina developed a hatred of alcohol, especially beer and wine, which her father drank often. Her father eventually got a girlfriend, who also often abused the two girls, and ironically, this girlfriend heavily resembled Five, the youngest Intoner sister, which caused Lumina and Eliora to often be uncomfortable whenever she is in Five’s presence later on.
Lumina one day discovered her mother’s diary and found that her father had in fact heavily abused her mother when she was alive, like he did to Lumina and Eliora, and that her mother had been a way for him to take out all his anger and pain, and her mother believed that that was ok, because this way she had a meaning, this way her ‘worthless’ life had a meaning. Lumina realized her father was not upset about her and Eliora’s mother’s death because he was in love with her mother, he was upset because he had lost his main coping mechanism to deal with all of his problems, and so had replaced her mother with her and Eliora. Lumina became enraged by this revelation and confronted her father about it, but only found herself battered to near death.
The next day, her father died of an alcohol overdose, and she and Eliora ran away and ended up on the streets. From there they were constantly beaten yet again, except not by their father, but by people they had never even met before.
Lumina continued doing her best to protect her sister from the abuse and often took care of her, leading to the two sisters becoming starkly different in their world view;
Eliora’s world view will be stated in her info, but nonetheless here is Lumina’s world view:
Lumina, sick and tired of all of the pain she went through because of the world, developed a hatred of the world and a desire to destroy it all and start again, as well as to punish humanity for being ‘sinful’ creatures, believing that starting from zero again was the only way to end the cycle of abuse. Ironically, Lumina found herself also enjoying watching other people suffer, as she believed that other people deserved it for being ‘cruel, sinful humans’, which made her no better than her abusers and only showed she was a hypocrite in what she believed, as she began actively inflicting harm upon others just like how she had been hurt.
Eventually, Lumina and Eliora by unknown means managed to sneak into the Second Period, where Lumina ended up unknowingly being infected by HERS, which only served to make her desire to destroy the world stronger; Eliora, however, remained uninfected. Lumina and Eliora then snuck onto the Climb One, where they would then end up in the chaos somehow reincarnated into Gods and trapped inside the Climb One with Levia and Behemo, who questioned who they were until Behemo recognized them as the two homeless girls he saw often wandering the streets. Lumina and Eliora would manage to escape the Climb One within a few years thanks to their bodies being intact, and they soon found that they had become gods, which gave Lumina an idea; they enact a plan to destroy the world. Despite Eliora’s hesitance, Eliora went through with it and so the two sisters began their experimentations which would eventually lead to the creation of the Flower and the concept of Intoners.
One of their prototype Intoners was Medora Aurende, a princess of the Kingdom of Aurende, who was later deemed a failure due to not being strong enough to destroy the world, and so the twins disposed of her, leaving her for dead in a forest in the Beelzenian Empire.
Eventually, the Flower was finally complete along with the concept of Intoners, and the twins enacted their plan to destroy the world. They went to the city of Alicegrad in the country of Holy Levianta and infected a human who had been left for dead in the city square named ‘Rose’ with the Flower, and she was soon revived and turned into an Intoner. Rose changed her name to Zero soon after. Eliora began to become more and more hesitant and concerned with Lumina’s plan to destroy the world, but in response, Lumina slapped her and told her
“I’ve protected you for your entire life, you know. It’s time you repaid me a bit by helping me destroy the world that hurt me so much. And this will only serve to benefit you anyways; after all, this world hurt you so much too, despite my attempts at protecting you. Why wouldn’t you want to destroy it as well, Eli?”
Eliora afterward meekly nodded and never questioned Lumina again out of fear of what she’d do to her if she dared to question the plan again, even though Eliora could tell the Flower was slowly growing out of their control.
Lumina’s overall a very hateful, vengeful, hypocritical woman who at this point constantly contradicts herself, claiming that she wants to break the cycle of abuse whilst continuing to harm others. Yet deep in her heart, it seems she does genuinely still care for her sister, although it appears as time passes she slowly becomes more and more obsessed with hurting other people and punishing humanity for its sins as she gradually succumbs to her HERS instincts, and her care and empathy slowly wither away; even her love for her sister and feelings of kinship with Zero is slowly dissipating; until all that remains is her hatred of the world and humanity overall. Sickle mockingly calls her a ‘hypocritical strawberry’ due to her hypocrisy and strange obsession with strawberries.

Hates: Seeing People Suffer, Her Father, Her Father’s Girlfriend, Five, The World (To A Much Lesser Degree Than Lumina), Alcohol
Weapons: Magic
Background + Personality: Most of Eliora and Lumina’s backstory was covered in Lumina’s info, so most of it will not be stated here except for any parts unique to Eliora.
Eliora is a meek, weak-willed girl who does as her sister tells her, secretly wishing to deviate from her sister’s will but being unable to as she is blinded by her ‘love’ for her sister and by what Lumina constantly tells her about their plan with the Flower and Intoners being “for the best”, that it’s “better for them to destroy the world here to stop humans from continuing to sin and hurt each other”, that “humanity is a sinful, malicious race that should be annihilated along with this cruel world they created”, even though Eliora knows deep inside that Lumina is merely manipulating her and forcing her to go along with what she wants.
Eliora’s world view is vastly different from her sister’s, as Eliora, who often could only watch as her sister was beaten and hurt constantly, found herself believing that revenge didn’t do much but perpetuate the cycle of abuse that she and Lumina suffered from, and so believed that the only way to end the cycle was to help abuse survivors not repeat the actions of their abusers. But Lumina heavily disagreed with her and forced Eliora, whether through physical harm or threats, to go along with Lumina’s plans and act the part of an ‘evil god who wants to destroy the world’.
Eliora also feels as if she’s indebted to Lumina for her protecting her from most of abuse of their childhood, and so feels obligated to help her even though she really believes that what Lumina’s doing is wrong.
Sickle pityingly calls Eliora a ‘pitiable strawberry’ due to her strange obsession with strawberries just like Lumina and because she’s a person who is very pitiable.
Whenever Eliora is able to, she often spends her time dancing, singing, or reading, loving all three activities immensely and secretly wishing she could have become a dancer or writer or singer or something of the sort rather than a mere instrument in her sister’s plans to destroy the world, and hopes that in some other life she could go follow her dreams rather than be forced to help her sister.
Also unlike her sister, Eliora is a very empathetic person, and despises killing and hurting others, although pretends as if she does enjoy such activities in order to please her sister.
So yeah, that's Lumina and Eliora's story. *me torturing my characters again and again goes brrrr-*
For reference here's their official designs (btw I probably should redo their arts considering their older as I made them back in April so yeah- oof) as well as sketch I made of them I may never finish but who knows:
Left girl is Lumina, right girl is Eliora ^
Oh, wow.
Okay. You’ve really edited and revised a lot of the story. The girls are looking really good, too. Angst can be a good device to help you channel your emotions in a healthy and constructive way. I think you’re building a really fun universe that just works for you and all of this design, planning and care takes a lot of time and effort. Never discount that work you put into it.
They are foils of each other.
They suffered but they handled it differently. That makes for an interesting arc for the both of them as they try to make sense of reality.

The Eve: part 5 (1713 words) - when pigs fly
• • • • • •
Lumi is down on her luck. After graduating university with a business degree, she has yet to secure a career in that path, reluctantly working and living at an old motel instead.
Kim Jongin is on the run. He’s been framed for embezzlement, and someone faked his death while he was out of town. With only a handful of bills and a false identity, he had been only able to survive for so long until breaking down in front of an old motel, hoping that whoever found him wouldn’t report him to the authorities.

It had been a long, long day inside the lobby of the motel. There were now three people (excluding Lumi) occupying the 12 rooms…but that still made it slow. She got a call from the owner of the motel that she’d be coming in today for a surprise visit, so Lumi had to make sure that everything was in its place. Granted, she never let things get out of hand either way.
The handsome man that had come yesterday called Sehun had said good morning to her when he exited her room. He had been sitting at the table outside his room with a big winter jacket and a coffee. She had no idea who would want to have their morning coffee like that in the cold, but she wasn’t going to judge him.
That night, after the long few hours with the owner and having to stay in the lobby in case any of the guests needed something, Lumi fell asleep. It wasn’t the first time she’s let her head rest on the desk, and she doubted it would be the last time. The only sound that could be heard was from the crickets outside, which were surprisingly still alive in this transitioning weather.
She was only asleep for about half an hour when she shifted and almost fell off the chair, waking herself up. Looking around and deciding that there was nothing that she missed, she headed to bed. She locked the lobby and sneakily made her way back into the room, where she found Jongin sleeping. Actually, she wasn’t sure, but she guessed from his deep breaths.
She kept her pyjamas in the bathroom now that Jongin lived with her so she tiptoed there. A warm shower felt nice against her muscles as she stood under the pouring water for longer than necessary. Lumi thought about how she was starting to suffocate. And by that, she knew that she needed to stop thinking about Jongin the way that she was. Now that he was looking more healthy, eating, and actually smiling, she knew that she was royally fucked. Unfortunately, the deep thinking mixed with the hot water made her almost fallen asleep in the shower. She even still felt groggy as she walked out of the bathroom.
Lumi stumbled towards the bed, completely forgetting the fact that Jongin was even in it. In fact, she didn’t remember until she lifted the comforter and plopped herself right onto his chest. He grunted, clearly, as her weight knocked some air out of him. She was there for a full second before realizing and scrambled to try to get off of him.
Jongin’s arms slid around her waist before she could, however, and he whispered, “you shouldn’t be sleeping on the chair, Lumi. The bed is big enough for the both of us.”
She didn’t know if it was because of her fatigue or because of being this close to him, but she let herself relax in his arms. It was as awkward as it sounded because a moment after she calmed, he twisted, pulling her body to the side on the bed.
“I can’t sleep with you Jongin,” she argued, yet still didn’t move. She couldn’t see any bit of him, but his arms were still around her waist. When she finally made a move to lay on her back, he must have been convinced that she wasn’t going to sleep on the chair once again because he took his hands back to himself.
“It’s been three days and you still wanted to sleep on the chair? That can’t have been a very good sleep at all,” he commented, taking a deep breath. Lumi felt him turn over to turn on the lamp. She was met with a muscular back, perfect in its entirety. When he turned back to her, Lumi answered his question, “I can’t really sleep that well anyways.”
“Well you have to be sore?” His eyes didn’t leave hers as he asked her another question. She wondered what exactly was going on. If someone would have told her last week that she would be in this close proximity with him, she would have told them that it would have only happened when pigs fly. But here she was, breathing the same air as the most beautiful man in the world.
She was too distracted by her thoughts, ideas from earlier in the shower coming to mind. She had to look away from him before she broke her own heart.
“I’ll take that as a yes then,” he chuckled. His voice brought her eyes right back to his face. She looked at his mouth in fascination. His smile was adorable, and his eyes were crinkled. It was as if nothing serious was going on and the two of them were just casually sharing a bed.
It was a dangerous situation both outside the doors of this motel for him and emotionally for her. What made it even worse was the fact that she had no idea what he was thinking about. He clearly didn’t think of her as gross or he wouldn’t have told her to stay in bed with him, but there was still her underlying lack of confidence that she acquired from Suho.
All Lumi could manage was a nod of her head. She didn’t even know at that moment if she was sore from the chair or sleeping in the lobby. “Can I tell you something, Jongin?” She whispered, grabbing at her shirt to stop herself from reaching out to grab him.
Jongin stared at Lumi as he waited for her to continue. He was staring at her with his full attention. He shifted and brought his arm up and under he is head, laying on his elbow. “Mmm, go ahead.”
Lumi gave his a small smile and then started, “Have I ever mentioned a man named Suho to you?”
His answer was automatic, “No.”
“He was my husband,” she admitted, eyes not leaving his to gauge his reaction. His face twitched, and she could have sworn that a small frown appeared on his face for a millisecond.
“Emphasis on the past tense,” she continued, scrunching up her face in disgust just thinking about him. “I met him in university, the very place where we heard about you and Kyungsoo. Actually, I do have a degree.”
Jongin’s facial expression perked up at Lumi's clarification. “You have a degree?” He questioned. She knew he probably wondered what she was doing here.
Lumi nodded her head. “I do. But that’s where Suho comes in again. After we got married, he didn’t want me to use it. He wanted me to stay at home, which I did. So, I didn’t make any money for myself. I found out that he had a second life with someone else, and so I decide to divorce him. But I still didn't have a penny to my name and a whole load of student loans. Rent in the city is too expensive, so I’ve been living and working here to slowly pay off my students loans. I still have a long way to go.”
“Why don’t you go back home?” His voice was soft, lips barely moving with his words.
“My parent moved to Europe to pursue what they’ve always wanted, and I didn’t want to take away anything more from them. They had me when they were still in high school, so I’ve already ruined their lives enough,” she admitted.
“Do you still talk to them?”
“We write each other letters because they can’t use technology,” she smiled. She did love her parents, and if they wanted to write her letters, she would let them. “Actually, they still think I’m married to Suho because their letters come to this town.”
“You deserve to get out of here,” he admitted, moving his hand under the covers. Lumi thought he might have been moving to hold her hand, but he stopped before he did.
“I actually wanted to work for you,” she admitted with a laugh.
Jongin smiled with her, and she revelled in how nice it felt to talk with someone like this again. She didn’t have anybody else really at all. “Tell you what,” he started, moving a piece of your hair from in front of your face to behind you ear, “once my name is cleared, I’ll hire you as a thank you for saving my life.”
“But,” you tried to argue but he quickly placed his hand over your lips, stopping you from talking.
“No buts…it’s the least I can do. You’re lucky I don’t offer to pay off your loans as well. But I won’t because I know that you don’t want to have to owe me anything more.”
Lumi was surprised that he understood that she didn’t want anyone ever taking care of her expenses ever again, and she silently thanked him for that. “Well, byun better tell us some good news then!”
“Byun’s my only friend now. His real name is Baekhyun,” Jongin admitted, turning onto his back. Lumi thought about how weird it was that she felt cold now that his gaze wasn’t directed onto her. “Goodnight, Lumi. You deserve better than what you settle for.” His voice was barely audible, and as soon as he was finished talking, he turned his back completely to her. She didn’t know if it was something she said, but he seemed sad now.
Lumi realized that falling asleep on the motel desk was easier than falling asleep beside Jongin. His scent was everywhere—on her pillow, on the blankets, and even in the air. She wouldn’t complain because it was amazing, but as soon as she was about to fall asleep, probably twenty minutes after him, he turned to her completely and grabbed at the loose material of the hoodie she was wearing. He looked peaceful as he was mumbling to someone in his dream. His whimpers from the previous nights turned into talking, and even though he was still audible, she was glad that he was no longer sad as he slept.
He pulled her closer to him by her sweater, and she wasn’t going to object—not only because she didn’t want to wake him up.
