grateful - gojo satoru
Tumblr media
"whatever you're thinking of, save it for tomorrow. go to sleep."
you release a heavy exhale, before pulling your arm from under your pillow and flipping over, eyes meeting stark blue ones.
you've always been mesmerized by how sky-like his eyes are, but even more so when even with the lights off, they still manage to glow. as if heaven itself lied behind those orbs.
satoru is blessed, you think. but you feel even more blessed than him for being the only one who gets to see him like this—so at peace and laid bare for you.
"you're not asleep either," you reply with half-lidded eyes.
you're tired, sure, but there was no way you'd find sleep anytime soon. not with the war waging in your head right now.
"tell me what's going on in that beautiful head of yours," satoru says, bringing his hand up to tuck back a lock of hair behind your ear. he rests his hand there, too.
you suck in a quiet breath, not sure how to proceed.
ever since he came back, you've been holding him more dear than usual, afraid he'd slip past your fingers again. you don't tell him that, though. sure, he knows it anyway, but saying it out loud seems like it'd jinx everything to hell again.
"i'm thinking of you."
he blinks up at you, silver eyelashes fluttering against his eyelid. god, he's beautiful.
"what about me?"
you should be grateful.
grateful that you have the strongest as your other half. grateful that he doesn't need to look over his shoulder. grateful that you never had to truly worry if satoru was going to make it home some nights.
grateful that unlike most other sorcerers, satoru never had to walk hand-in-hand with death. grateful that death hasn't knocked on his door even when the world fell to chaos. grateful that he's still here with you, breathing and warm and alive.
but you're not grateful tonight. not with the battle he's announced in several hours.
you don't want to say it, but you say it anyway, "don't be a hero."
a silent pause, before, "baby, you—"
"no, let me say it, satoru. i have to say it out loud," you whisper.
his hand leaves your cheek and slides down to rest above your waist. you relish the feeling as much as you can, commiting to memory the weight and warmth of it. you wish you two could stay like this forever.
"okay," he nods, shifting closer.
it's quiet enough that you can hear your own heartbeat, maybe even his, and you hope he can hear them too.
"i would never tell you not to go and save megumi," you start. you hesitate for a moment, but continue, voice quivering ever so slightly. "but you have to remember your life means just as much."
satoru's listening, but doesn't say anything. instead, his hand finds yours and he brings the back of your hand towards his lips, pressing a soft kiss to your knuckles.
"thank you for worrying about me, but you can stop now."
"are you hearing me, satoru?" your fingers grasp his tighter, a silent demand for his full attention. he gives it to you. "i'm asking you to please come home tomorrow night."
"i will, baby." he plants a quick kiss on your nose. "i'm the strongest, or have you forgotten?"
you clench your jaw slightly, wondering if you believe him or not.
you decide you don't. not enough.
but you're not going to ask him to promise you anything either. not when he already carries so much burden alone. not when you know how easily promises get broken as of late.
"i just—." you pause to look at him, really look at him. and you pray to god that you remember each and every delicate feature of his. every flaw, every dip, every scar. "i just want you to remember that i love you, always. and i won't make you promise it, but i hope with every piece of my soul that i see you tomorrow. and the day after. and the day after that, too."
satoru huffs out a short laugh, lips pulling apart to form a smile.
"you underestimate me, again." he plants another kiss, to your forehead, now.
"i'm not," you murmur.
"yeah, you are." he raises both your hands, fingers intertwining in the air. "you're underestimating my abilities, you're underestimating how much i love you, and most of all, you're underestimating the lengths i'd go to just to come back home to you."
it's not often that the satoru gojo shows raw emotion, but... here he right now doing so. he's offering you his still beating heart in his hands—and you take it. you swear you'll keep it safe with you forever.
"just—when you're out there, remember i love you, more than anything."
you're holding satoru's gaze intently, before his' drop to your lips, then back up again.
"and i love you even more than that, my girl." satoru presses one last kiss, to your lips this time. “i’ll make it home to you, i swear it.”

Trailer park Steve AU part 16
part 1 | part 15 | ao3
cw: unsympathetic religious discussion, mentions of oral sex (istg if you’re under 18 i will send such a sternly worded letter to your legal guardian, go aWAY)
“So just, to recap…” Eddie says dully, digging a thumb into his brow bone like he’s got a headache coming on. He’s sitting on the floor with his back against a work bench — one knee drawn to his chest, the other stretched out long, nearly tripping Steve where he's pacing a hole into the concrete. He lets his head fall against the bench with a thunk, looks up at Steve and continues, “we just got abducted by two asthmatic freshmen—”
“Pretty sure Dustin's the only one with asthma.”
"Okay, and I’m pretty sure that doesn't fucking matter when we've just been kidnapped and forced to play the world’s shittiest version of Seven Minutes in Heaven!"
Eddie takes a shuddering breath, brings his voice back down an octave. "Sorry,” he says, then sighs morosely to himself. “Imprisoned by my own sheepies…”
What a goddamned drama queen.
“Sheepies?” Steve asks.
"Never mind,” Eddie huffs. “Just... I mean, Jesus Christ, is this really what's happening? This? This is really where my life's at right now?”
Steve’s been wondering that himself.
“It's an intervention!" Dustin screeches. "It's for your own good!” “I’m gonna intervene your head from your body!” “That doesn’t even make sense!” Steve gives the metal above him one final, fruitless shove, then sinks down on the steps and puts his head in his hands. Pinches the end of his nose. His voice is hoarse from yelling, his temples starting to throb. Eddie’s shaking beside him like a cat that fell in an ice bath. “Seriously,” he pleads, lowering his voice. “Let us out; this isn’t cool.” “We will, okay? We promise. Just talk to each other first. Please? Just fifteen minutes.” Aaand he's yelling again. "Fifteen— are you out of your mind??" He's about to say 'hell no,' or maybe 'go fuck yourself,' but then Dustin yelps, “U.S.S. Butterscotch!” 'U.S.S. Butterscotch.' It’s basically the Scoops Troop's 'Olly olly oxen free.' “Goddammit, dude, FINE!”
“....Yeah, that about sums it up." Steve runs a hand through his hair, sweeping his bangs back off his forehead.
Eddie gives him a worn-out stare. “Well, shit.”
“Yep.” He goes back to his pacing — back and forth, back and forth, like it's actually doing anything to calm him down. (It isn’t really. If anything it’s just making his lower back damp with sweat.)
On the floor, Eddie shivers and draws his other leg to his chest, chin resting on bony knees, arms wrapped around his legs. "Christ, it's freezing," he complains, rubbing a hand over his shins. "If we die of exposure before I get to exact my revenge on those little assholes I'm gonna be so pissed."
"Here—" Steve starts to shrug off his jacket to give it to Eddie, but then he remembers the pills he still has stashed in the left pocket and abruptly changes course. He turns to the storage shelves, scanning for anything that might be useful, and— "There we go."
He makes his way to a messy pile of old camping supplies, scoops up an armful of whatever he can find: sleeping bags, flashlights, a lantern, some old citronella candles. They won't do much for warmth, but they'll make the place a bit less Russian torture chamber, at least.
Eddie eyes him a little warily as he sets up a spot right beside him on the floor. He spreads one sleeping bag out for them to sit on like a picnic blanket; offers the other one to Eddie, who drapes it over his shoulders like a cloak, his long, dark curls spilling over the edge.
"You got a light?" he asks, arranging the candles and the lantern in a half-circle around them.
"Sure do,” Eddie says. His face lights up when he slips a hand inside his pocket. "Oh, hell yeah, baby! Look what else I got."
He pulls out a silver flask, flashing it at Steve, and Steve ignores the way the words 'hell yeah, baby' bounce around his skull like an echo through an empty cavern.
"A little insurance policy in case the dinner party was a bore." Eddie unscrews the lid; takes a wincing swig. "Would have taken boring over this, though. Think I might’ve gotten a little more excitement than I bargained for." "Yeah,” Steve laughs under his breath. "You think?"
Eddie passes him the flask, sets to lighting all the wicks while Steve takes a shot. The whiskey is cheap, and it stings on the way down, but it's nice. Warm. Liquid amber in his chest, glowing like the candlelight Eddie sparks to life.
Eddie settles down beside him. With the workbench at their backs and the warm tint to the room, it's almost cozy. Reminds him of backyard sleepovers with Tommy; a little fortress built for two.
“Do you think they’re still listening?” Eddie's eyes flit to the stairs.
“Probably." Steve takes another swig, gesturing to the shadows beyond their makeshift camp. "He probably got Suzie to help him bug this whole place."
"Ah, yes. The crazy hot, crazy smart summer camp girlfriend who totally exists."
"She does, actually,” Steve laughs, “if you can believe it."
"No shit?"
"I know, right? I mean, like..." He scratches the side of his nose. "She's Mormon and lives all the way out in Utah, so it's not exactly like... but, whatever. He's super into her, so—"
"Hold up. Dustin's dating a Mormon?" Eddie says it like he’s spitting sunflower hulls. "That's almost worse than her being fake."
“What, you got some kinda history with Mormons?”
“Oh, yeah," Eddie snorts derisively. "The Mormons and I go waaay back."
"Wait, for real?" Was Eddie in a cult? Because that would actually explain so much.
"Dude. No. Hell no. Those fuckers love to solicit the downtrodden, though. They show up at the park all the time.”
“Great,” Steve deadpans. Another wonderful amenity of the Forest Hills experience.
“Don’t worry. Wayne usually just crosses himself at them until they go away.” He makes the sign of the cross, his rings glinting in the light. “Catholic middle-aged men and LDS teens, now there’s some quality petty drama.”
“So you’re Catholic, then?” Steve asks.
“Jesus, Harrington. We’re supposed to be kissing and making up and you want to start a religious debate?”
No, he absolutely does not. He wants to make fun of Eddie, because, "That’s the second time you’ve mentioned kissing." Eddie’s cheeks go horribly pink; peach tint in the deep orange glow. “First you wanna suck my blood at dinner, now you’re talking about making out. What next?” Steve teases. “You gonna offer to suck my dick?”
He means it as a joke — a slightly rude one, sure; insinuating, but still. He expects Eddie to get it, to roll his eyes and play along. Ha ha, Harrington.
When he used to say shit like this to Tommy, Tommy would always just laugh and shove him off, tell him to go suck it yourself.
Only Eddie doesn’t laugh.
Eddie goes quiet. Runs his tongue over his teeth. He fixes Steve with one of those looks; the kind that make him feel like a burglar caught in a flood light’s beam. “Why?" he teases back. "Did you want me to or something?”

Hi I saw your Astarion x Tav HC recs are open and personally my Tav is a half elf Selûnite cleric.
I just think its a really sweet matchup- a vampire, a creature of the night, and a cleric that always preferred the night to the day. I’m forever mad that we don’t get to tell him that we prefer the moon to the sun when he apologizes for the fact that he’ll never be able to spend time in the sun with Tav.
Just my two cents I needed to share with someone haha
(can't stop thinking about Astarion praying to Selune. I don't think he will become a devoted selunite but he can find some faith within him)
The text of the prayer comes from Selûnite Prayer Book
Astarion x Cleric of Selûne! Tav
Masterlist
Headcanons
Astarion is beaten and tortured.
His flesh wounds bleed and his bones are broken.
It's a neverneding hell he can't escape, because he is already dead.
Silently, Astarion prays.
His split lips whisper the words of prayer he once heard in a temple.
Dearest Selûne, our fair maiden, weave our hearts with threads of silver, guide us with the light of the moon, and quench us with the purest of tears.
Astarion doesn't have much hope.
Besides Selûne a human goddess, and Elven gods have long abandoned him.
But-
His prayers are heard this time.
A human woman suddenly feels the urge to go outside. There she meets a young elf - and spends a night with him.
She never asks his name and, in the morning, they part ways forever.
But the woman doesn't leave alone.
She carries a half-elf child in her belly.
Probably, the woman never wanted to have a child, maybe she doesn't want to have a mixed baby or she simply can't care about the newborn.
Or maybe she dies at childbirth like many women do.
Anyway, a little half-elf finds their family among the Clerics of Selûne.
You grow up, knowing no other family but your brothers and sisters in Selune.
With a very firm belief, you are born to serve Our Lady of Silver.
Eventually, you are sent to Baldur's Gate - to join the fight against the Shar adepts.
But you never manage to get to the city as the Mindflayers kidnap you.
Astarion lost all his faith years ago and he doesn't remember ever praying to Selûne, though seeing someone so devoted rubs him the wrong way.
Gods never heard him when he was tortured and abused. Why bother?
But you catch his attention. Maybe it's your willpower, your leadership skills. Maybe your looks. You kind nature.
At first, you are scared of Astarion. Selûne condemns the undead and necromancy - vampires are considered the pure evil who desecrate the world.
But-
No one objects that Cazador is a monster. But Astarion?
He is a thinking feeling creature! He didn't choose this "pure shit". What are you supposed to do him?
No. You know the answer, though some of your sisters would consider it heresy.
Astarion has a choice. If he chooses the path of evil, you will be his enemy. You are a Cleric. You know what is right.
But should he choose a good path, you will be on his side.
And you will do anything in your power to help him.
You give Astarion you blood. You give him your body. Your compassion, your kindness.
You mention him in your prayers.
Astarion doesn't say anything to you about your faith but you know he isn't fond of it.
"I prayed to all the gods, including the Moonmaiden. No one saved me."
You made a deal, as people of different religious views do. He respects your faith, you respect his right not to have one.
Post-game you keep being a Cleric planning on rising through the ranks in the church.
You are a half-elf - you inherited ambitions from your human ancestors.
Astarion is still hesitant - he doesn't want you to spend your life in shadows with him.
"Astarion, I am a Cleric of Selûne, not of Latander. I love night more than day and the Moon more than the Sun. I will be fine"
You will forever remember the shock on his face as he realizes Moon shines for the undead, too.
You travel, helping the Selûnites to restore their organization.
One day during your prayer you notice Astarion standing on his knees with his hands in a gesture of adoration repeating the words after you.
Shadows taunt us. Hear our prayer! Shadows stalk us. Hear our prayer! Shadows wound us. Hear our prayer!
He mostly does it because he knows you like it.
You like when he joins you in your rituals and prayers, when he visits temples with you.
It makes you happy seeing him praying and he does it more and more often.
But one day a weird idea comes to his mind.
He prayed to Selûne once. Many years ago. After one especially brutal torture.
What if-
What if she heard him?
What if she sent him his savior? Her servant, her cleric, her devoted Selûnite?
What if is this half-elf he loves so much, whose body he worships, whose blood is so divine - is the answer?
You wake up to him kissing you. His face is red with tears and he mutters the words of gratitude.
From that day, he changes a bit. It's not like he is a man of god - he is still too rebellious to be a part of the church.
But every cleric of Selûne knows that Astarion the Undead is the man any Selûnite can rely on.
There are many rituals he can't partake in but as they say - Moon shines for everyone.
Astarion starts wearing the Selûnite light armour which looks very beautiful on him. Together you go into the most dangerous places - because you have your own undead to save you.
And every time you go to sleep (even if before that you've had the wildest sex possible). You pray while holding each other in your arms.
Selûne, thou with radiam loom, mend our hearts with threads of silver, heal us with drops of morning dew, and sooth our souls with softest starglow.

I saw your post about some characters nobody had requested for the event yet. If it's possible, could I request and imagine with Malleus (he was one or the three you mentioned, right?), Azul, and Leona for something? I thought you said 3 characters was the limit, I apologize if I read that wrong. 🙇‍♀️
Can I request what those three would do if their crush / Y/N accidentally confessed somehow (like letting it slip that they liked them) and instead of facing the consequences of their actions, Y/N just freakin' bolts. Nobody has ever seen them move that fast before.
Thank you in advance, and I apologize if this doesn't make sense or I did it wrong.
𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲'𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭
| Notes: ANON I LOVE YOU
The first request featuring Malleus at last! lmao Okay so, since I made something similar with Ace, Cater and Kalim but because there’s other characters this time, I made a twist (yeah, that’s the joke). If you don’t mind, I wrote this in a more funny way. At least it have a complete ending lol
And Diasomnia stans, pls ask me more for Malleus and Silver, I beg you! 
Thanks for the request <3 |
Malleus Draconia, Azul Ashengrotto, Leona Kingscholar x g!n reader who runs really fast / headcanons / fluff & comedy / use of “you” pronouns
Cherry's Harvesting event 🍒 Masterlist
My Baby Runs Like the Wind
Tumblr media
“People may not understand why I love you, but...!,” you interrupted yourself halfway through, missing the point you wanted to get to. You simply wanted to assure Malleus that someone in the world really liked him, but your deepest feelings just revealed themselves unexpectedly;
Malleus stopped for a moment and stared deeply at you. In any other situation, he might have let that jumble of words go through his head without noticing anything special. But, it seemed that in this very specific momento he understood what you meant. Malleus’ eyes shone bright, he could feel his own heart beating fast;
Nothing that you could repair for a long time because you jumped up and ran out of there like lightning. Malleus was startled by your speed. He was always amazed at how fast humans could run even though they weren't as skilled as fairies and you seemed to almost disappear into thin air;
But... why did you run away?! Malleus shook his head, pulling himself together. Usually people would run away from him without saying anything or after being rude so they wouldn't suffer the consequences, but you said something good and genuine. You declared your love for him!;
You may have even thought that simply running from your problems was the best of solutions, but when little green lights surrounded you and suddenly, Malleus transported himself in front of you, you realized how wrong you were. You were in the middle of the hallway and the only way out was the side courtyard. Not understanding that you were still in auto-escape mode, Malleus reached out to you to lead you there;
You didn't know what to do. Your head was spinning, confused by the attitudes of your good friend Tsunotaro. Maybe he wanted to reject you more formally? Or perhaps did he not understand what you said and was apprehensive about your escape? You didn't want him to think that way. You weren't running away from him... well, you were, but for another reason;
One way or another, you walked together through the garden and silence was everywhere. Little birds used to avoid Malleus, fearing his draconic aura. In contrast, more crows approached you although they remained courteous in respecting your silence through the way;
You were so restless that Malleus didn't know what to do to help you. He remembered a book that Lilia borrowed for him a few weeks ago, an unusual literature in their land called “teenage romance”. You seemed to be in a very similar situation of misunderstanding between your true feelings;
“Child of Man, do you love me?,” Malleus asked you directly. It took you by surprise and you stared into his glorious jade eyes, expectant for an answer. Your heart started to beat harder and you almost wanted to run from there again;
But you remained and, unable to answer with words, you took Malleus's hand and squeezed it tightly. You nodded, plucking up the courage to face whatever his response to your feelings was. You felt like a knight facing a dragon. However, as admirable as your courage was, there was nothing to worry about;
“Oh, precious joy!,” surprising you again, Malleus gave you a huge smile. You were able to perfectly see his immaculate fangs. “My heart rejoices to hear this. You know why, dear? For I love you as well.” It was like waking up from a nightmare of uncertainties to the reality of sweet life. You were so happy with his response that you threw yourself on top of Malleus to hug him and you both fell off the bench. His good laugh ended up scaring the crows away.
Tumblr media
“Loving you is insane, honestly,” you blurted out unintentionally after listening to Azul talk about his favorite coin collection for fifteen minutes. It was accidental, with no prior intention, completely unprepared. The favorite kind of information that Azul would like to receive. But this one caught even him by surprise;
For a long time, there was no noise other than the movement of the fish in the aquarium of Octavinelle's communal room. The little ladder of coins that Azul was making fell but he didn't take his eyes off you. He felt like he heard you wrong. Yeah, maybe that's it. But your face was flustered and this was an indicative counter;
So, for better or worse, you just bolted from there. You ran away so fast you almost ran over the Leech twins in the process. Floyd even joked about changing your name to “Black Marlin” — a fast fish he had bet on racing once in the Coral Sea. But when they turned around to Azul, his coins were already collected from the table and he went after you;
Azul would have asked Jade or Floyd to help ambush you because they were a little faster but, if you had said what he thought you said, he didn't want to involve the Twins unnecessarily in this situation. Things are hard enough without them laughing and teasing him;
Unluckily for Azul, you were on a good day and your run was fast. So fast that he couldn’t get close to you even without the lack of obstacles outside Octavinelle’s main building. He saw you beam out of the dorm and cursed under his breath. If you arrived in the halls of Night Raven College, it would take a lifetime to find you. As if he would give up so easily…;
Meanwhile, on your side of the ship’s bow, you arrived at the Hall of Mirrors and took a moment to catch your breath. You weren't sure if Azul was actually following you but there was a lot of adrenaline running through your veins at the moment;
You couldn't believe what had happened. You confessed yourself to Azul like that! Don’t you think about your own well-being? What if Azul didn't like you the same way? Now he could use that little slip for his own benefit. Well, the real truth was that you wouldn't want to know if Azul was going to reject you and you hoped he just hadn't heard anything;
“Ah, there you are... if you really loved me, you wouldn't make me run so much,” Azul's voice sounded in the hall and you took a fright, especially since he almost collapsed on the floor from exhaustion. You were about to run away again but the worry made you put your feet in place like an anchor;
You went over to Azul, who was leaning against the wall to rest, and when you made mention of touching him, he held up your hand. If you two were at sea, this action would be much more effective with his tentacles, but his grip was strong enough to hold you there without necessarily hurting you. He just didn't want you to run away again;
Nicely, he convinced you to repeat what you said before and without much else to run to, you could only finish confessing your love properly to him. When you finished and looked at Azul in the eyes, he looked weak again, his face was on fire and his heart beating just thinking how much you love him with such devotion and affection;
He almost cried. Almost. He wouldn’t weaken so much in front of you at that moment. Azul took a deep breath, adjusted his glasses, and said, “I suppose I should also confess something. I love you, too.” This statement alone was able to make you jump in Azul and hug him with all your might. Not that he complains much when he thinks about it.
Tumblr media
“You are sometimes lucky that I love you, idiot...,” you were about to try to strangle Leona when you noticed what you said. It was already a very complicated situation. You were forced by Crewel to hunt down Leona and demand to him to do a homework he should have turned in yesterday but apparently didn't, culminating in you finding him sleeping in the Botanical Garden;
Trying to wake up a lion here, vain attempts to drag him out there, you were at the limit of your patience. And, by the way, from your own guard because that phrase escaped more naturally than you would like. Because nothing couldn’t get worse, that actually made Leona wake up. He was semi-sleeping these last fifteen minutes but hearing that you love him gave that special snap;
You exchanged a look for a moment, one more surprised than the other. You only noticed at that moment that you were practically on top of him. And like a prey that has noticed the awakening of its predator, you ran out of there as fast as you could. Leona remembered the antelopes of his land, running like the wind;
He only needed a moment to pull himself together and stretch out, not considering that running after you would be a problem. So... you loved him, huh? How cute, he chuckled to himself. But it was so meaningful and good to hear, something that Leona would hardly admit out loud to you. And to think that you have reached this stage;
Meanwhile, you still ran like a wild beast through the fields of Night Raven College, not knowing exactly where you were going. You were worried about what to do from there. How could you face Leona again? Would he let it pass like it was nothing? No one would know?;
You stopped suddenly, thinking better of it. Was that the conclusion you wanted? Well, that might be better than a rejection, but it would be just as sad. You sighed, tired. It was quite a race and you were sure Leona didn't move a muscle to follow you;
Bam! That's when you felt a little bump in your head and there was Leona behind you, yawning as if finding out your position from your trail had been nothing. He had that sassy look in his eyes, relaxed, really treating the situation like it was nothing. So handsome and gallant that you felt like you could fight him and kiss him at the same time;
This thought knotted your stomach and made your blood run faster. You turned around, ready to do the same thing when Leona held you by the collar of your shirt, preventing your escape in any direction. Now that you were face to face, it was time to talk seriously;
“Herbivore, do you love me?,” Leona asked. Despite his stance, you didn't find anything that represented hostility in that question. Which, again, was good and bad at the same time. Worse for your heart was finding out that Leona didn't care about you at all. But since you were there — and you couldn't even get away anyway — you had to admit it;
You hadn't realized because you were looking down but Leona's expression changed many times as he listened to you declare your heart to him. It was such touching words and to think that you almost ran away from him because of shame and fear only made him feel stranger, like he never felt before;
“I'm in love with you too... either that or you give me a lot of headache for no apparent reason,” Leona confessed. You were surprised but, out of habit, you gave him a light punch on the shoulder. Not that he cared. Behind you, the sun was coming down magnificently and you almost wanted to run again. Not to escape but to announce to the four winds that Leona Kingscholar loved you too.
| Special Notes:  Lilia gave Malleus a bunch of shojo manga, that’s the only truth I know. |

"T-Toru? What is it?" you asked looking at the silver pocket watch in his hand.
"Cursed item." He said with the same smile.
"I thought I told you not to bring dangerous items home." You said looking at him sharply.
"If I brought Sukuna's finger it would be even worse. This finger is dangerous. However, this item is made by humans. By sorcerers like me."
"Like you? I thought you were going to say something else..."
"Fine, created by sorcerers much older than me who could do only that. They probably lived 200 years ago and none of them are alive now."
"Now better. Now, please, put this in a safe place and take it to school tomorrow. I don't want curses in our house when you're not around."
"My son will protect you!"
"Your son? What if it's a daughter?" You raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe even a daughter! Gender doesn't matter ! My child will protect you! Because I feel the energy changes in your body."
"Who would have thought my husband would be a walking pregnancy test..." you muttered with a smile before heading to the laundry room to pick up the laundry Satoru was supposed to do this week.
"Be careful. I'll take it. You can't overload yourself." He said grabbing the clothes basket.
"Satoru, three weeks ago we found out I was pregnant. I can do household chores."
He ignored you and took the clothes to the dressing room.
"And then you tell me you're not overprotective at all..." You smiled with your head tilted slightly.
"Can't I take care of you?" he asked, shouting from the room.
"Of course you can, but I can see you're being overprotective now."
"Hey! I don't want anything to happen to you, okay? Is it that bad that I do this?" he asked as he entered the living room where you were.
"I have nothing against. Now, calm down. Big baby." You patted his head.
Then you hugged him.
"So what was this watch about?" you asked.
"There are two in the world. One gold and the other silver. Gold brings you into the future, and silver into the past . I just wanted to show you this. Because, you know, I'd like to see what our baby will look like..."
"You're impatient. Wait a few months."
"I know. But I was curious. Because, you know, when I was a teenager, I remember going to the future, and when I came back, I knew you would definitely be my girlfriend. Because it was such a belief combined with the fact that in the future I saw that it was."
"What does it have to do with it?"
"I don't remember anything that happened when I was in the future then. And now we met me from the past. So it must be true. Even though he probably remembered as much as I remembered after that trip. I wanted to see our baby at least for a while. And maybe then I would know what gender it is now? Or does it have my eyes?" He laughed.
"Then why do you have a silver watch and not a gold one?" You asked as you pulled away.
"The past self must have put it somewhere where I don't know. Maybe in another place? Because I only found this. I was thinking about going back in time and looking at your virgin ass during training."
You hit him on the head as he laughed.
"You're perverted!"
"I am your husband."
"But you're 28 and I was 16 at the time!"
"Will I be that even if I look at you as my wife? Come on. I already know every inch of your body."
"You're not going back in time to look at my ass!"
"It's the same now. I know. Or even better?" He leaned down to punch you in the buttock. "Much better now! The only thing different about your body is that you were a virgin then and now you have my child inside of you. You don't know how cute it is!"
"Or would I like to travel back in time to look at you when you were a virgin? And you probably acted like a perpetually horny animal."
"You weren't wrong about that. Every time I looked at you." He laughed, waving his hands.
"Give me that watch." You said. "Maybe I'll tell myself in the past not to marry you as long as you're such a pervert."
"But baby, you love me! That also means you love me as a pervert!"
"You finally admitted it. But maybe it would have been nice to see old school when we were young."
"We're not old, (y/n)."
"Okay, but we were teenagers then."
"Fine... Even if we don't remember much of it, we can do it. Hold on, I'll go get a blindfold." He handed you a silver watch.
You felt the coldness of the metal, and you weighed it with your hand. It was probably real silver...
To check this, you clicked the button, slowly counting the seconds.
And when the watch showed 12 seconds, you stopped it.
"Mochi, we were supposed to move in together!" cried your husband sadly when he saw the watch lightly shining.
And your image began to wave before you disappeared.
"Halo! Mrs!"
You heard a voice calling you.
You slowly opened your eyes.
You saw the girl's face. You from your younger years...
"Where am I..." You muttered quietly.
"At Jujutsu High in Tokyo." Said the girl sitting next to you on the bench.
"Are you -." you started.
"Do you know me?" She asked, pointing at her.
"I certainly wouldn't mistake myself from the past..." you laughed.
"From the past? Wait, are you me from the future? Is that why you look like me?!"
"Yeah... I couldn't really click that button myself."
"Button? Oh... Time-traveling watches?"
"Do you know about them? I don't remember learning about it here."
"Recently, Satoru was talking about this. That he had heard that they were here and that he would look for it to visit the future."
"Oh... I know something about that..."
"Let me guess, he made it?"
"Yes. But he doesn't remember anything after that. Probably. What year is it?"
"2006."
"So I moved 12 years, huh... When I get home, I'm going to be lectured about how I should have moved with him."
"With him? With whom?" Suddenly, the girl looked at your hand, seeing the wedding ring. "Ohmilord!! I got married?!?! Who is it???" she screamed.
You smiled looking at her face. Shocked and almost scared.
"Sorry, I can't spill." You said with a small smile. "You'll live a few more years and you'll find out."
"Ugh... Now I'm going to live in suspense..."
"Don't worry. You will have a boyfriend who will later be your husband and you will be pregnant by him. It's nothing that terrible."
"I will be pregnant?! Are you pregnant?!" She looked at your belly.
"I am, but only recently."
"Should you use cursed items while pregnant? You know... Even Satoru knows that using it in a state where you don't know what's going to happen is inappropriate."
"Even Satoru?"
"Yes. Although I know he would probably do something irresponsible. Besides, what is he doing in the future?"
"He's still a sorcerer."
"He had a girlfriend? Wife? Kids?"
"Hmm..." You thought for a moment what to say. "Yes. He does."
"Oh..." The younger you mumbled sadly.
By the time you were 16, you had feelings for him.
Poor, you thought he had a wife and kids with some other woman.
Well, you didn't say it like you loved him very much.
So she thought your husband was someone else.
"Can you tell me what are you doing in the future? Or what will our relationship be like?"
"You care about him, don't you?"
"...Yes... You were me after all...
"You love him..."
"I... I-I..."
"All right. I know it is. After all, I was you." You laughed.
You saw a watch in your hand that suddenly appeared.
It showed you had two minutes left here.
Why when you go to the future you get hours to stay there and when you go to the past you get minutes?
Because it's already happened, and you've already been through it.
Therefore, you have less time.
You had 12 minutes. It was enough for you to talk to her.
"I have little time. But I can tell you that our relationship is still close." You told her.
And the moment you had a few seconds left, you showed her your hand with the wedding ring engraved with his name.
You don't know if she saw it, but you gave her a quick signal of what she might expect before you disappeared.
Straight to the living room to be grabbed by Satoru who immediately started hugging you, saying that he wanted to be there too and now you have to wait for the watch's energy to recharge.

Dating Eddie Munson HC [part two]
pairing: Eddie Munson x female!reader
fandom masterlist: Stranger Things
note: can't get this boy outta my head, so, here's a few other headcanons about boyfriend!Eddie Munson.
warnings: cursing, female descriptions / pronouns (i think), this one's pretty tame. still proceed with maturity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• you cannot convince me this boy doesn't, like, do everything in his power to put a smile on your face. cracking a (bad) joke, pulling a funny face, or acting like a klutz just to see that smile on your face.
• Eddie writes poems for you. maybe not full songs (even though a few have been about you) but he likes to write you actual poetry. it was the one unit he excelled in during English because he had an array of poems at his disposal.
• some poems were left in a journal, some on scrap pieces of paper then taped on his dresser's mirror, others written to you and sent in a letter.
• this man is big on hand-written letters. you like to read? he likes to write? it fucking works for you!! he'll write you a letter for anything, too.
• bullies got him fucked up? he was writing a letter to you that he might not send for weeks because he's still adding to it. it's therapeutic. and it's not that he's not telling you when things happen but it's sometimes hard to verbalize everything. so, he writes and one day, he'll slip it to you, "you don't have to respond to it, but I want you to know these things."
• and later that evening after you've read the letter, you're at his trailer, and crawling into his lap. he might be sitting on the couch because Wayne's at work already, hands holding your thighs and up to your hips as your hands smooth his hair back, off his face.
• and you'd tell him, "I love it when you're open with me. and I want you to know, your feelings are safe with me, however you need to express them." and all sorts of reassuring things, because you didn't want to offer too much sympathy because he didn't want pity, but instead assurance that his feelings are valid, and safe.
• but he sends you letters for other reasons, too! he doesn't need much of a reason to pick up a pen.
• you save each one. i don't need to explain this, right?
• he gifts you a silver ring of your own; maybe gets you one for every year you're together. but that doesn't stop you from stealing his on the occasion, let's be clear on that.
• because in my head, Eddie doesn't do short-term. he's in it for the long term, so, he likes to go all out for anniversary's. hence the rings.
• and he loves seeing your style and his meshed together in your outfits, remember? seeing you in some ripped jeans, one of his shirts? hair done, make-up poppin', nails manicured, with - oh - what's those? shining silver rings he got you? he might swoon a little.
• and holding hands when you're wearing your rings isn't 100% comfortable at first but you both get used to it. and he even might start to fiddle with your rings sometimes, too; either when anxious or just lost in thought, he'll gently spin one of your rings around your finger.
• skin to skin contact is still a must, but laying face-to-face while gently petting over his face as if to map out his features is just soul-soothing for the both of you. "everything's quiet when I'm with you," you tell him softly, voice barely above a whisper.
• and he smiles lightly, "what do you mean, quiet, sweetheart?"
• "everything in my head, all the bullshit going on in the world," you sigh as you trace over his chest tattoo, "it's quiet when I'm with you. everything's just... so much better with you, baby."
• ah, man - he melts. you hear me? he melts. he can't help but bring you in closer to press an excited kiss to your lips. and when he pulls back, he takes only a nano-second before he's kissing you again, and again.
• because he's elated to hear those words. and you make note of that by making it a habit to reassure him of his place in your life. his insecurities run deep but he's making real progress on that because you take deep satisfaction in assuring him of your love.
• I know I said stoner!boyfriend Eddie lets you paint his nails, but can we agree that boyfriend!Eddie in general will do that? great - so, you like to paint your nails, right? and sometimes, you can't choose a color and Eddie thinks it's really cute when you get that concentrated look on your face while trying to get an even coat.
• so, he doesn't mind you painting his fingernails. he'll often have to decide the color for you because you "just can't!"
• he might try his hand out with painting your nails, too. look, Eddie can get a few tattoo sketches down, why can't he master nail art?
• don't tell anyone but he definitely has a shoe box full of photos of you guys. he got a polaroid camera when you started dating and he tries to take at least one photo every date. it's a nice homage to your relationship.
• he leaves the camera in his car so he doesn't forget it. plus, he has his own personal collection of pictures of you in his passenger seat, so, win-win. oh, there goes my heart.
• when he's missing you or after you guys have a fight, he looks through that photo box. and oh, look! he's writing you another letter! he's a simp and my mind can't be changed.
• your heart gets warm when he calls you sweetheart. you're used to him calling you baby, and don't get me wrong, it's adorable. but when he drops sweetheart in lieu of your name, you're the one melting a little.
• and you're both always holding hands or your arm's around the others shoulders. like, constantly. he's not overly adamant on PDA but that boy doesn't feel right if you're close by and he's not touching you.
• there's a height difference. and he likes to pick on you for that. he's lanky, so let's say he's taller than you; and he never, ever lets you forget it. you'll try to reach something in the cabinet above the stove while you're cooking at your house, and here comes Eddie!
• he'd let one hand move around your waist to squeeze you into his side while the other grabbed whatever you needed, "woah there, small fry, careful! you might knock yourself over stretchin' like that."
• "you think you're funny, don't you?"
• but he is funny, the little shit. his jokes are mostly corny but because you guys have history, there's a lot of inside jokes that make you both go lightheaded from laughter.
• Eddie has social anxiety that's hidden behind this macho bravado but you can tell when he's feeling uneasy.
• it's sometimes easier to just slid your hand into his and mutter quietly, "squeeze my hand if you wanna go."
• you were always quick to come up with some excuse for your abrupt departure the moment you felt him squeeze your hand. it ranged from some excuse over dinner with your mom, maybe you have a sibling that needs picked up somewhere, or there's some extended family member coming into town. no matter what, when he squeezes, you're getting him out of there.
• when the anxiety passes, he's realizing he's dating his best friend and silently thanks God because you both just read each other. you both just get it.
• he calls you his little problem solver because it doesn't matter what's going on or what he's feeling, he can turn to you. confide in you. and you know it goes both ways because he's there for you no matter what.
• when you're sick, good luck getting Eddie to go to school. you'll phone him early in the morning and tell him your symptoms before insisting you'd just stay in bed; but he's already packing a bag to hang with you for the day.
• he'd come over with snacks and Gatorade (or something) because your parents already left for work. he doesn't care if he'll get sick, too; he'll crawl in bed with you and gently massage your scalp.
• Eddie doesn't like going to school if you're not there, so, he doesn't mind playing hookie. and he gets you anything you need because he's a sweetheart like that.
• yeah, you like forehead kisses - but he likes kissing your forehead.
• mixtapes! mixtapes! mixtapes! Eddie makes you mixtapes! just imagine he's out somewhere and finds himself bobbing his head along to some song, specifically asks for the name, so later, he adds it to a mixtape 'cause he thinks you'll like it, too.
• look, sometimes his emotions get the better of him and he communicates through music.
• so, sometimes, after a fight, you'll find a cassette tape left in your mailbox when you collect the mail that day. you know it's from him without a signature, but there's usually a scribbled note on the front of the case.
• I'm sorry for what I said. I hope this can help?
• and you listen to it all night. he'll come to pick you up in the morning for school and feel anxious you wouldn't want to see him, but just as he comes to a halt, you're heading out your door.
• you spend the morning talking about whatever upset the both of you before telling him how the music made you feel. he'll tell you what the songs made him feel, and that's how you sort through your feelings over certain fights.
• we know he kills the spiders but let's face it - you probably kill the rest of the creepy crawlies. you just don't do spiders... so, he's brave for the both of you, so as long as you're brave the other times and handle other bugs.
• Eddie stops to pet dogs. (so, you both stop when you're together).
• you like to bake. and Eddie likes your creations, so, he sometimes lets you rope him into helping if you promise him the first few bites of baked goods. he can burn water but under your eye, he actually kinda likes being in the kitchen - but he likes making you sweat, so, he'll continue to give you a hard time.
• younger siblings adore him. they think Eddie's funny, and he does those goofy voices when playing with them or reading them some story. Eddie doesn't mind getting down in the dirt with them. they want him to sit next to them at dinner.
• older siblings don't approve at first but they come around because let's face it, he tries to charm them since he's intimidated by them. and they think his efforts are cute that they cut him some slack.
• does Eddie let you braid his hair? only after a joint.
• maybe you first meet 'cause you're looking for a dealer.
• maybe you meet in middle school.
• maybe you meet his first senior year.
• maybe because it's both of your favorite holiday, you meet at a halloween event wearing either accidental matching costumes (so you kinda have to hang out all night and get to know the cutie) or you're wearing perfectly opposite costumes. so, again, how can you not hang out with him all night? it was fate, you were sure of it.
• or maybe you meet because you used to babysit Mike and / or Dustin, promising to give them a ride home after Hellfire and there's Eddie, waiting to make sure the newest members get in their ride. looking too cool for school as he leans on the side of the building, and he's not as smooth talking as he wants to be but you think he's still endearing.
• look, how common was it for Eddie to find you in his hoodie? pretty freaking common. they smelled like him and he started using that fabric softener you told him about that made the material soft, so, he was used to you entering his room, dropping your belongings, and snuggling your way into a hoodie.
• Eddie is the type of boyfriend that when you pass by in the lunch room, he's wrapping his arms around your waist to tug you into his lap; greeting you with kisses on the cheek. no matter if he saw you that morning, or an hour ago, he's just happy to see you.
• all right, so, about his smell. Eddie is overly conscious about his smell - so, daily showers. and he uses that cologne you complimented because his clothes smell like cigarette and weed smoke, and together, you think it smells kinda like home. when your nose is pressed to his skin, you don't really notice the smoke smell.
• you like both coffee and tea, so, Eddie learns how to make your favorite of both. he's cute. very, very cute.
• okay, so, he likes scary movies. he jumps at all the jump scares but he laughs after. you don't mind scary movies because it's an excuse to sit in Eddie's lap and press your nose into his neck.
• man, throw a blanket across across you fools and you'll actually fall asleep during a horror movie.
• okay, when you go out to eat, you both take turns ordering something neither of you have tried before. it's a simple way for you both to try new things and push your comfort bounds.
• he goes with you when you get your first tattoo, too. holds your hand, reassures you that you're doing great, has an opened bottle of water for you, and takes peaks as the tattoo progresses. he'd make cute jokes to distract you when you'd wince in annoyed pain.
• oh, man, the dates are just cute. they're not always conventional but you both look for any excuse to hang out.
• he likes to pinch your jaw and lift your attention up to your eyes (that height difference, man). then he'd kiss you and mutter, "don't know what I did to deserve you, but good job me."
• and yeah, I mentioned it before, but he's close with your family. like, to the point when you need an extra team member for family game night, Eddie's rolling in with more flowers for your Mom and maybe a pack of candy for your sibling(s).
• let's just imagine Eddie at family meals please. he's offering to fill your plate when the peas come your way, refilling your Mom's wine glass, and teasingly taking your Dad's side during arguments.
• he'd be invited to the Christmas vacation! and he'd blush because wow - your family really accepts him. he has heart eyes the whole time.
• he's the type that takes whatever is in your hands to hold for you, too. backpack, binders, shopping bags, (sometimes) your purse, that one time he came into your job and saw you moving an inventory box - he swooped in and took it from you.
• "what're you doin' movin' something this heavy, princess? I got it, I got it."
• this boy melts when your nails rake over his back, shoulders, and obviously his scalp.
• and Eddie's the type to kiss you at any given opportunity. we know he reminds you he loves you constantly but he also looks for any opening to kiss you.
• when he gets angry, he worries that he's scared you. you never are, and you tell him as such, but he still knows that he can get intense. so, he'd take some time to just be in your presence (usually with his hands somewhere on you) before he's trying to explain why he had the kind of reaction he did.
• you appreciated the communication, so, you listened and tried to understand, empathize. your job isn't to judge him.
• he often uses his fingers to press into your cheeks. he likes to poke and hold them, sometimes squeezing to pucker your lips. oh, man, this boy is almost always touching you - it's so cute. damn it.
• Eddie's perfect, okay? cool.

Lim! It’s me! I request 8 please 🥺
So, umm, I got a little carried away?
There'd been a shelf of cookbooks in the condo, before it burned down.  Cookbooks that Carlos had bought when he was in college and experimenting with learning how to make Indian food and Thai food and pasta from scratch, books he'd bought at school fundraisers and church Christmas markets, books he'd been given as housewarming presents when he moved into the condo.  
When he moved into the loft he realized that Carlos had never replaced them, and even though Carlos hadn't left a space for them in the kitchen, he felt like he could see it anyway, where they would have sat.
He goes on a quest after that.  Some of them are easy to replace from alibris or bookfinder: the 1964 edition of the Joy of Cooking - because apparently the new edition had fucked around with all the recipes, Carlos's words, not his, and he'd stared at Carlos shocked when he'd said it because Carlos doesn't swear all that often unless he's in bed; a soup cookbook from some celebrity chef from the 90s that he's seen Carlos make exactly two recipes out of; a copy of the Silver Palate cookbook that someone at work had given him at a holiday gift exchange.
The church cookbooks and Junior League cookbooks are harder to find, and he takes to scouring second hand bookstores and antique stores and thrift shops on his days off when Carlos is at work.  Sometimes he drags Nancy or Marjan or Paul with him.  
"Why are we doing this?" Nancy grouses once.  "I've never seen Carlos use a recipe for anything."
"That's not the point," he snaps, and Nancy backs off with sympathetic eyes.
And, it isn't.  The point is that this is something Carlos had lost that he could maybe give back.  He's never going to be able to replace the pie bird that Carlos bought at the farmer's market when he was 12, or the old wooden rolling pin that had been his abuela's, worn smooth with time and use, or the butter molds his cousin Anna had brought him back from a trip to France.  But this, is something he can do.
It takes longer than he expects, and he ends up with more books than had been in Carlos's collection originally.  But he hadn't been able to resist them, the ones with cheery titles like "Nightingales in the Kitchen" and "Charlottesville: Cooking for Compliments", or the ones filled with someone else's handwritten edits that say things like 'never make this again' or 'add orange juice' or 'your husband will thank you'.
He meant to wait for Carlos's birthday, but he gets impatient, and packs them all in a banker's box and sticks a huge red bow on it, and makes brisket for dinner.  Carlos sniffs appreciatively when he comes home, and doesn't even notice the box on the table until he's coming back from hanging up his coat.
Carlos looks at him, clearly trying to remember if he's forgotten something, and he shakes his head.  "No reason, baby, just because."
"It's not a lizard is it?"
He snorts.  "I wouldn't do that to you, I promise.  You'll like this."
Carlos lifts the books out slowly, turning them over in his hand, stacking them up on the table.  He finally looks at TK.  'I had these at the condo."  He nods. "You bought them for me?"  He nods again, worrying his lip a little, suddenly nervous.  "Why?"
"You kept them, they meant something to you, they had memories for you.  I hate that you lost everything."  He waves a hand when Carlos starts to deny it, or point out that TK did too.  "I know, I was there too, I lost things too.  But, I'd only just moved in, I still had stuff at Dad's.  That was a home you built, and you lost it, and we don't talk about it."  He shifts on his feet, fidgeting with the couch cushion.  "We don't have to talk about it now, just, I wanted you to have something back."  He gestures around the loft. "You give me so much.  You deserve to have everything too."
Carlos kneels up on the couch, wrapping arms around him, kissing him breathless.  He smiles into the kiss.  "You like them then?"
"I love them."  Carlos kisses him again.  "I love you."  And then he pulls back to look speculatively at the kitchen.  "We'll have to rearrange some of the cups to make space for them."

You'll always be my boy.
Please note this is about my oc Arthur, who is the father to Ingo and Emmet, and about Ingo coming out as trans(FtM) to his dad when he was in his teens.
If you aren't comfortable with that please scroll on and block. (Id also like to apologize if it's off, as I wanted to write this more happy than my own experience.)
Double note, this will likely be the last thing of submas I write.
-

-
It was clear as day to Arthur that his kids were up to something, but when aren't they? He wants to laugh about it, as he finds the 'trouble' they usually get themselves in is often humorous.
But this time feels different, something feels serious, as if they are scared of his reaction. He can't imagine why, though he knows sometimes they get into their own heads a lot, so he will wait until they come to him.
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months, the more time passed the more worried he grew. The man replays everything he's ever done, trying to figure out if he did something to upset them or show he isn't to be trusted, but nothing comes up, even if he did he always made sure to talk to them about it and apologize.
So what happened?
The day finally came as his eldest came into the living room where he was, encouraged by her brother who stood peeking behind a wall for emotional support.
"Hey dad, can I tell you something?"
Arthur instantly sits up and pauses his show, giving her his undivided attention.
"Of course. What is it?" He pats the spot next to him on the sofa, gesturing her to sit next to him, which she does though hesitatly.
"Take your time, if you don't feel ready I understand."
He offers a crooked smile, trying to be patient, though is shocked when she starts tearing. He's quick to place a hand on her back rubbing soothing circles.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
That seems to only make it worse but he blinks at what comes next.
"I feel fake, I feel like I've been putting on a mask and silly title just to please everyone! I can't keep living like this, I just want to be your son..."
His eyes widen trying to wrap his head around this, he maybe in his mid 30's but he's heard about these things, even if he doesn't fully understand it himself.
"I love you no matter what, you're my little train conductor no matter how old you get. I made a vow the moment I held you and Emmet that I would love and support you in any way I could, no matter what.' He brushes some of his son's silver hair out of his face.
"You're still my baby boy."
His son lets out a loud sob, hugging him tightly and burying his face into his father's chest. Arthur just hums, wrapping his arms around his boy, giving him a firm hug.
Arthur lets him cry for as long as he needs, clearly needing this more than anything. He looks over to Emmet and gestures him to get a thing of water, which the youngest quickly does.
It takes sometime for his eldest to finally settle down, but when he does, Arthur has to ask him.
"So, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Well....I was actually going to ask if you could uh...pick my new name?" The young boy looked so hopeful "I remember you telling us you had a lot of name picked out before we were born."
Arthur feels himself tearing up, he tries to fight back the sting of tears in his eyes but he easily give him a smile, leaving both twins shocked at seeing their father give a full smile for once, even if it's shaky.
"Ingo, it was one of the names me and your mother adored the most."
"Ingo..?" Those alabaster eyes look back at him with renewed tears.
"Do you like it? If not I can find the list in the photo album."
"No! It's....it's perfect."
Emmet hands his brother a thing of water, letting his brother drink, but he chuckles a bit.
"Now we are the ultimate duo!"
Arthur watches them laugh and playfully bicker. He will look more information up later tonight, but right now he just wants to enjoy this moment with his sons.

Freya darling ♥️ I’m struggling with the worst period cramps of my life!!
I don’t know if you’ve done this one, but how would our lover boys comfort their partner in their hour of need?
Oh darling, I am so sorry, I myself was in a lot of pain last night! I hope you are feeling better right now. 💖🥺
So, first of all, I did write a couple of stories about this with Henry Marshmellow Flavour and with Sy called Peachy Pink and as always ,ore headcanons can be found here.
But since we've both been under the weather, allow me to elaborate!!
Tumblr media
Henry
First thing first, you are not allowed out of bed today. If you need anything, he is going to make sure it's served to bed.
It's actually almost embarrassing because at one point he even offers to carry you everywhere you go.
So expect a silver tray filled with your favourite brand of chocolates, snacks and hot cocoa with some whipped cream and teeny tiny marshmallows and sprinkles.
He makes sure that Kal doesn't leave your sight, though it's not that hard really as Kal can sense your ache right away and the moment you open your eyes he is by your side, pressing his wet snout to your belly.
All plans are cancelled today, the only work he has to do is take care of his baby. Stripping to his sweats, he enters the bed beside you and wraps his large arm around your shoulders while the other presses to your lower belly.
He puts on your favourite comfort film, no matter if it's the 200th time you both watched it. Nothing makes him happier than spending his time taking care of you.
Tumblr media
Syverson
What? You think big burly grunts like him can't take care of his girl when she is on her period? Well prepare to be amazed!
Actually, the first thing you need to know about Sy is that he is tracking your period, and not just for the sake of breeding (yes, he wants to knock you up at some point, but first he actually cares about his lady's cycles)
And to be frank, being a military captain, remembering and timing things is a part of his routine.
So when the 28 days mark hit, expect him at the door with all the treats you can think of.
He orders you to sit on the couch while he meanders to the kitchen
Soon the house is infused with the scent of one of your favourite dishes. But every time you try to sneak into the kitchen, Sy forbids it by clicking his tongue.
Less than an hour later, he serves you your portion and then grabs his guitar and plays you a sweet, relaxing tone, singing along while you eat.
Tumblr media
August
August doesn't like it when his princess is not feeling well and if August is anything, it's a giver.
Every hour or so the doorbell rings and more followers, candies and gifts arrived. From fancy bottles of perfumes to outrageously beautiful dresses, he will give you the moon if he must.
But of course, it's not just about the gifts, it's about you knowing how important you are to him.
He calls in sick and spends the rest of the day with you.
He knows that you must be feeling lousy right now, maybe body dysmorphia is hitting, maybe you feel bloated, so he makes sure you realise how beautiful you are.
And one thing that August learned is that no matter how hurting you are, you should always pamper yourself.
So at first, he sits behind you, letting you press your back to his torso and then starts fixing your hair while humming in your ear.
He helps you strip off your jammies and dresses you up in one of your favourite attires, so you can feel yourself again.
Tumblr media
Walter
First thing first, he is practical. Knowing you are in pain, he makes a quick jump to the store, getting you pain killers, tampons and chocolate.
Then it's time for some self-care! He runs a hot bath, putting extra soap for bubbles and foams.
"Come here, pet," he calls you to the bathroom.
He is already bare as you join, his beautiful, naked body put on display to your hungry eyes.
But sex is the last thing on your mind at the moment with these terrible cramps making your entire body ache.
Moving toward you, he strips you off your clothes, being extremely tender and running his fingers across every curve of your figure with silent admiration.
Finally, he slips into the tub and offers you his hand to help you in.
Once you are both inside, he snuggles you and splays sweet butterfly kisses all over your neck and begins by telling you some silly stories from his childhood to make you forget about your misery.

I can't speak for anyone else, but one of the reasons I'm reluctant to start Kyle's stuff is because of how badly it fucked over Hal - I'm not even a Hal fan, but a Wiki thumbnail of Emerald Twilight reads like Cassandra Cain's assassination under Beechen.
This is actually really funny to me, because the first Green Lantern comics I ever read were the 1990 series, since I'd heard about Kyle and wanted to read his comics - but what I didn't realize was that the first 50 issues of that series are Hal, leading into Emerald Twilight, and Kyle (who first appears in #48) takes over from there.
And oh man, did those comics make me hate Hal. He is domineering, entitled, and cruel. He combines being a huge asshole with being so completely convinced he knows what's best for everyone around him that by the time he decides to remake the world in his own image, I was like "Yeah, this tracks."
Now, having gone back and read every Green Lantern comic since 1960 in order, I know that this didn't start with the 1990 series, and it certainly didn't start with Kyle. Hal telling Guy's fiancee that he's dead and then almost immediately asking her out? Pre-Kyle. Hal dating a 13-year-old and then being incredibly cruel to her? Pre-Kyle. Hal mooching off of John indefinitely, and then when John tells him to get a job, robbing a diamond mine in apartheid-era South Africa and letting John take the fall for it? Pre-Kyle. Hal dismissing every woman he's ever dated as "crazy"? Pre-Kyle.
In other words, Hal is really only this shining golden hero in the Silver Age proper. From the start of Green Lantern/Green Arrow in 1970, you have about 20 years of a really fascinating narrative of a man who was once totally confident in who he was and how the world works, and what happens when it all crumbles away beneath him - when his girl doesn't need him to rescue her, when his sidekick doesn't want to be treated like a supporting character anymore, when his country and his politics aren't what he thought they were, when his faith in the Guardians is eroded more and more with every revelation. And then, of course, Hal's world crumbling becomes literal with the destruction of Coast City. It all dovetails really interestingly with the shifts in American pop culture away from 1950s homogeneity and towards diversity and inclusivity - culminating of course in the debut of Kyle, poster child for a new kind of sensitive, urbane masculinity that was popular in the 90s.
(I can't remember where right now, but I'm almost positive there's a comic somewhere where Barry says that Ollie ruined Hal because he made him question everything. But idk, maybe when you're part of the most dominant demographic in society and also a fucking cop, you should occasionally question things, Barrence?)
Anyway, this is all a really long-winded way of saying that when you read the previous few decades of Hal comics, Emerald Twilight feels pretty inevitable. This man was going to break, and it was going to be ugly. The dominant narrative that you'll find on wikis and in fandom and in the comics itself was that Hal's fall from grace was sudden and out of nowhere (which it has to be depicted as in modern comics thanks to the Parallax-is-a-giant-space-bug retcon), but it really, really wasn't.
And it's actually Kyle who starts the process of redeeming Hal. Kyle has sympathy for Hal during Emerald Twilight itself. Kyle is basically the only person who sees not just the destruction that Hal is causing, but the pain he's in. Baby boy is Team Hal almost from the beginning, and Hal responds by...well, okay, by trying to kill him, but like five minutes after that he's fully in "I've only had Kyle for a day and a half, but if anything ever happened to him, I would kill everyone in this universe and then myself" mode. Hal stans in the 90s HATED Kyle, but actual Hal Jordan loves Kyle very very much and it is completely mutual.
Also then DC fell all over themselves giving Hal three redemption arcs in a row (Final Night, Day of Judgment, and GL: Birthright). Four if you count the Spectre series.
So yeah, basically, please don't avoid Kyle because you think he does Hal dirty! Hal did himself dirty, and he did it for decades. It's only his, like, three deaths and four resurrections that pull him out of the tailspin he was in long before Emerald Twilight. (And then he immediately goes into like eight other tailspins, because the man is a mess. But he is much more fun after he comes back to life than he was for a long time before he died.)
Also, Hal would want you to read Kyle's comics. Kyle's his favorite.

Several titles caught my eye, but let's go with "I can't tell you but it lasts forever" and "Johnny 'hope this doesn't awaken anything in me' Lawrence" for now! ❤
Eeeeee okay here we go!!
i can't tell you but it lasts forever
This one is a semi sequel to how do i know when it's love, a Daniel character study fic I wrote a while back which deals with him coming to terms with his sexuality after the events of KK3. Haven't written too much for this yet, but essentially the premise is:
Early 90s, Daniel's a little more sure of himself, but between his lingering internalized homophobia and working full-time, he hasn't quite ventured into the dating scene. The only person who even knows he likes guys is Mr. Miyagi--even the thought of telling his ma is too much for him. So he tries to ignore his feelings, no matter how lonely and isolating it gets.
But, through everything, Daniel keeps in touch with Jessica, who confesses to him one night that she's a lesbian and has a girlfriend back in Ohio. She's so self-assured and confident about it, and always so understanding, that Daniel finally tells her that he thinks he's bi. And naturally, Jessica immediately makes it her mission to kick his internalized homophobia's ass by teaching him to put himself out there.
(And if at some point while she's visiting California, they happen upon a certain blonde from Daniel's past, well...😉)
Basically the 90s canon au in which confident lesbian!Jessica takes baby bi!Daniel under her wing.
johnny "hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" lawrence
This one doesn't have too much of a plot yet (and probably won't, tbh. It's pretty much been in PWP territory since I thought of it lol). Basically, scruffy, pent-up, pissed off season 5 Daniel has been living rent free in my head for months now, especially that one scene. Y'all know the one, if my profile pic didn't make it clear ;)
And I can't help but think that Johnny would be just as enraptured. You're telling me Daniel showed up at his apartment calling him a pussy and he wasn't at least slightly into it?
So I've been playing around with a post-season 5 (sans unnecessary canon plot point I will not mention out of spite) established lawrusso thing in which Silver's gone, the karate war's over, and Johnny and Daniel can finally breathe. But even though Daniel's not nearly as frantic and unhinged as he was, he's got this confidence that wasn't there before that Johnny can't help but find hot. There's something about seeing him just be...him, without trying to conceal it with his stuffy car salesman persona, that really gets him going: that's the cocky, smarmy kid from Jersey he remembers.
In short: After defeating Silver, Daniel finally lets his bratty, confident side shine through, and Johnny's really fucking into it. Which leads to him realizing that he maybe wouldn't hate the idea of Daniel shoving him around a bit. 👀
Thanks for the ask!! These are two fics that I've actually been tinkering with a bit lately (when I can find the time and motivation lol), so it was nice to stop and think through them.

Twitter showed me sone terrible takes on AM and Izu, nothing new here. But here I'm to rant about this.
I have to say....I get it. No, really, I do. When people make fics where AM is either malicious or too dumb to live...I get why rhey they are doing this...I get where they formed this wrong idea.
For example, when we had a fic where AM is racist towards quirkless- note how those fics skew away from AM being quirkless himself- is bc in canon we never had an in depth on AM's life.
Was his childhood rough or easier? Did he always wanted to be a hero or was a fateful meeting with Nana that lead to his career?
Tumblr media
Yeah we don't know. So I get why people would make fics where he is racist towards quirkless bc is easier and....the fic writer can prop up fanon dadzawa "I don't need my quirk to be a hero" (forgetting canon Aizawa usea his quirk 100%)
But ok...let's go to another type of fics. "AM is too stupid to live" and YES. I get this one. It's the basic plot where AM own stupid allows Izu to fall from grace and be a villain ...
And while I do have issues with AM's canon intelligence here (not about if he can do math or science) we would have to take in account the intelligence of every staff in UA.
I mean....BK is clearly hostile with Izu ( he doesn't hide at all) and tried to kill him several times. Please, HE HAS TRIED TO KILL THE MC MORE THAN SHIGARAKI (Like shigaraki is the villain and all that, but aside the war arc...he never tried to kill Izu or call him "useless" hey....guess who does it?) OR ANY VILLAIN! Why AM can't at very least make him stay away from Izu?
Answer: Hori and his love for the most useless and hateful character I ever come across.
The same question goes to all teachers. No one in UA tries to do anything- Aizawa gives no fucks to Izu and others and the others teachers, while I do think they don't care that much...don't have screentime- I remember seeing a post saying how maybe no one steps in bc "kids with powers can be rough"
Ok fair. But this is not the boys being boys. This is BK being 100% hostile and murderous with his victim.
And even if it was boys being boys...they won't step in? If Izu and Sero fight....UA will shrugs?
I do write fics where either UA is a terrible school milking on AM's good name or is trying to do god but there are forces blocking them.
And all the while I think AM being a teacher in UA- he has no qualifications but lets be real...Aizawa shouldn't be one and "Dadzawa!" Is popular- maybe wasn't necessary. Like, if it is to be part of Izu'a life....why not be a Consulting or smth else? Hell, AM have (?) An agency...why not take advantage of that?
"AM is a bad mentor"
I understand why people have this idea. Hori refuses to let AM be a good mentor. He is so crazy in "humble Izu" that goes against his story. The number 1 hero of all Japan wants to help Izu....but Izu needs to be humble....and Hori's defination of humble is to make his mc still think he is worthless.
Which leads to the last take I saw "Izu is a nepo baby" and like....
Tumblr media
"Izu has everything on a silver plate while BK..."
"Izu never had to work hard while BK"
My guys....Bk never work hard in his life, Hori gave everything for his fav. Izu? He was abused, his father is MIA (I get the fathers in Japan have the costume to work overseas but Hisashi is never once mentioned and please, note how among all the fathers, even the bad ones, they are there) his house indicates he is from poor background....he had no friends...and his abuser was after him for 10 years.
Inko has no friends "ah but Mitsuki and Inko are bffs" is 100% fanon...and I think is a creation of a BdDk fan.
Izu had to work harder than everyone else...even more bc he got a quirk which breaks his bones. Everyone in UA knows how to use their quirks. They were born with it...Izu? He got recently and Hori still goes on "humble his mc"
So...please if anything BK is a nepotism Baby. He is priviliged. He shouts he wants a perfect victory but his victories are given.
Hori refuses to make any plotline that may make people see his bk in a bad light....which is impossible at this point...he is the most hateful and useless character out there.

Jeepers Creepers- disclaimer and character info
Tumblr media
=
-I don't own anything but one of the oc's which is my oc Nemesis (named after the Greek Goddess of Revenge, Retribution and Fortune) -This is dsmp but imma change a few things plot wise, take out some events that happened and such. Some of it will be pre-dsmp events -This is for entrainment purposes. -No sexual content (may allude to sexual stuff however and there may be sexual jokes, making out intensely, and groping) -16+ -Strong Language -Cringy and corny = [onto Nemesis ]
=
-As said before, Nemesis is named after the Nemesis the Goddess of Revenge, Retribution, and Fortune. She is an Anthropomorphic creeper like Sam, she wears a mask like him occasionally but most of the times wears which is the skull of a dear with horns.
-Nemesis is 24 years old
- Her parents are unknown, just that they're creepers. However, not long after her parents died when she was about 5 years old (she doesn't remember them) she was adopted by Philza and Mumza (Kristin) making Technoblade, Wilbur, and Tommy her siblings. Also Tehcnoblade and Wilbur are twins (both of them including Tommy are the biological children of Philza and Mumza). She has a biological son who is also a Anthropomorphic creeper named Zephyr of Wind (West Wind). She is his only biological parent as well, he has no father. Baby creepers make a variety of sounds while adults can only chuff, roar, and hiss. Zephyr is also 2, almost 3, years old so he’s still considered a baby.
- She is described by those she meets as "The most prepossessing woman to exist". She has long, fluffy, and beautiful green hair that's slightly wavy. She has pale skin, and her eyes consist of a pitch-black sclera and red glowing irises with long, thick, dark eyelashes. She has a beautiful figure as well (her measurements are Bust 94 cm (37) Waist 58 cm (23) Hips 93 cm (36) Bra Size 37 H Cup. She is also 6'5 ft in height (she a tall bitch). She wears a mask like Sam occasionally but most of the times wears which is the skull of a dear with horns which makes her scary and intimidating. She also has a lot of scars, mainly her stomach and back. She also is jacked, and I mean jacked. She's extremely strong and has both abs and big strong biceps.
Tumblr media
[This is her outfit, I made it with images I found on google]
- Nemesis is a rational, wise, and incredibly intelligent individual. She is an introverted, patient, and quiet person who wears a solemn, seemingly emotionless, and reserved expression, rarely showing outbreaks of emotion. She is quite cold to you when you first meet her and doesn't hold trust, but she warms up eventually. She is seen as emotionless because of her lack of reaction, she's just good at hiding them. Generally, Nemesis has a matching low and serene disposition. She is very scary and intimidating, just like Technoblade maybe some fear her more than him. Because of her reserved and calm disposition and unchanging facial expression, most can't tell what she is feeling: the only person who can read her feelings without difficulty is her partner/lover Sam and her son Zephyr. Nemesis can be hostile and has a thirst for blood. However, despite having a thirst for blood and fighting she isn't quick to anger nor irrational, she doesn't act upon impulse and thinks her actions through. That's how she and Tehcnoblade can differ at times where he can act on his thirst and impulse. It's a reason why she's hard to defeat in battle. Nemesis is also very resentful, she holds grudges and never forgets when someone wrongs her. She can be quite revengeful and extremely unforgiving, willing to kill those who've wronged her, she seeks Retribution and blood. She's very resilient and doesn't give in easily. She is quick witted and clever, having a sharp and silver tongue. While she is rational and can manage to not give in, she does have weaknesses that make her do so at times. Nemesis is not afraid to get in harm's way, protecting friends and family from harm's way. She loves and cares deeply for her friends, family, and especially her partner/lover Sam and her son Zephyr. This is a weakness of hers that might make her act on impulse and irrationally, act on Retribution and blood to spill. Despite being emotionless, cold, and opposed to affection, she secretly likes it. She is a softy secretly on the inside. She is also quite motherly and while bad at affection and comforting, she makes do. In simple terms, she's a conflicting person but that's what makes her so lovable to those around her. - She also kinda adopted Ranboo so he is also her son and he's completely fine with it, even calls her mom. Michael has called her nana and mama (he calls her this as his grandmother not as in his mother, I know people who call their grandma mama so he will do that as well)
- She also has a large trident like Sam, they're twinning
- That's it for now, enjoy!

DAO has really helped me be more inspired to do creative stuff. I'm actually really disappointed by the idea that later games don't have the Origin stories! But since I'm here, I just really wanna brag about my girls.
Aleandria Cousland is my main storyline. I finished her story all the way through Witch Hunt (though I haven't done the GoA yet). She's a baby, just 19 when her world falls apart, and full of optimism and faith and love. She grew up with a silver spoon and she knows it, so she tries, with every choice and judgement she has to make, to pay that privilege forward. She is the epitome of Lawful Good, with just a little bit of veering off the path of annoying righteousness thanks to her grey-moralled biffies. She and Alistair fall in stupid goofy love, obviously, and he trains her to use Templar abilities (she becomes better at it than him🤣). In the end, she becomes Queen of Ferelden alongside her devoted King. She chooses to ally with the Architect, and, while she doesn't quite regret it, she is uneasy with her choice for the next decade. (Then, Witch Hunt made me sob because she spent all that time and effort just to find her friend, to tell her she trusts her and loves her, and Morrigan doesn't have to do this alone! But Morrigan leaves anyway and I fell down sobbing at Morrigan's last look over her shoulder. Spending the time to get up Morrigan's approval as high as possible in DAO was so so worth it for the scenes with Morrigan calling Aleandria her friend and sounding like she was about to cry)
Lanil Surana is my elf mage and she is also Babey. She's aroace spec and her story is unfinished. Thus far: She's been in the Circle so long she doesn't remember anything else, and honestly doesn't care. Why do people keep asking about her elf heritage?? It means nothing to her. She's a mage. She's not exactly smart, but she's bright and strong-willed and confident to the point of arrogance. She is talented at magic, very rarely struggles, and all she cares about is more magic. And (what leads her into trouble) wanting her friends to be happy. Jowan wants to be a farmer and get married and give up his magic? Gross, but okay. She'll help if it'll make him happy. Ofc he's not a blood mage, he wouldn't lie to HER. She knows her friend, there's no way he could hide something like that--oh. oh no. She's still unsure of how she feels about being a Warden; a part of her remains in the Circle, where she feels like she will always belong, even if it meant being made Tranquil for what she truly believes is her own mistake. Going out into the world, seeing something bigger than herself, will hopefully help her learn empathy and perspective. There is more to the world than the Circle, and not all apostates are evil or deserve punishment. Morrigan especially is a good influence on her. Going back to the Circle to save it was the most heartwrenching and terrifying experience of her life and she struggles between her trauma and her growth when it comes to blood magic and freedom. (Extra: everything with Cullen still lingers in the back of her mind. WtFUCK was that?? What was he... talking about? Did he love her or something? No way. Maybe?) In the future, maybe she'll even find a connection to a heritage she's never bothered to care about.
Danae Tabris is a city elf. And she's ANGRY. Her whole life has been about being made smaller, quieter, and scraping by for survival. She is pragmatic and cold to strangers (esp humans), but not unnecessarily cruel. When the Arl's son ruins her wedding day, a day she only half-begrudgingly accepted for her single father's sake, despite having zero interest in her would-be-husband (or any man), Danae's anger is unstoppable. Saving the young elf women around her, protecting them from the monsters masked in human skin, gives her, for a moment, power. True Power over her fate that leads to beheading the Arl's son while still dressed in her wedding finery. Being killed for it feels more like a reward than a punishment, there is true pride in her when she steps forward, it was worth it to save the other elves and end the life of even one oppressor. But then Duncan offers her a life in the Grey Wardens. While she can't truly trust him, she latches onto the idea of more power, the ability to be stronger, faster, and FREE. That freedom and power is all that matters to her, at first. Could Leliana be the one that shows her that she can forgive the world for letting her down? And that humans can, in the end, be good and true and... worth loving? She can not only save a few young elves, she can save the entire country and love wholeheartedly, unreservedly. She will be capable of wielding power, yes, but also capable of Greatness. (Though, she'll never be comfortable with the idea of being a "Hero" and definitely disappears so people will please forget her face.)

i have pokemon on the brain tonight 🧍
“Yo, Suki, hurry up, the Professor is waiting for us!”
Suki flittered about her room in a frenzy as she shoved anything and everything into her already bulging backpack. Her best friend, Ethan, who idled at the bottom of her stairs only added to her stressing and she let out a childish noise of frustration as she searched for her other sneaker.
“I’m coming, okay?” she bellowed back to him, loud enough for her mother to scold her from downstairs, before lowering her voice. “Ugh, c’mon, where is it?”
After an extra few minutes of tearing her room apart, she finally finds her other shoe, and silently thanks Arceus before throwing her bag over her shoulder. Before heading out, however, she made sure to stop in front of her many posters of Johto’s current champion, Lance.
“Wish me luck, fabu-Lance!” she beamed cheerfully before rushing to greet Ethan, who let out a breath of relief when he saw her.
“Yeesh, I thought you were never gonna come down. Too busy staring longingly at your photos of Lance, huh?”
Suki rolled her eyes before playfully punching his arm. “Glad to see you too, stupid.”
Suki’s mother emerged from the kitchen as Suki was putting on her shoes, their pet Meowth, Penny, snuggled into her arms. Her mother smiled warmly.
“Good luck, both of you, and remember: I’m on the other end of your PokeGear if you're ever in trouble.” She held Penny in front of Suki’s face. “Say goodbye, Penny!”
Penny only struggled as Suki planted numerous kisses on it’s forehead before she groaned.
“Mom, I know, I'm not a baby! Ethan will be with me so I’ll be totally safe, okay?”
“I know, I know, I'm just worrying like a normal mother would,” she sighed, setting the Meowth down as she adjusted the string of her apron. She turned to Ethan. “Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid!”
“Mom!”
“You know me, Mrs M, I'm the most responsible guy in New Bark Town,” he grinned as he scoops Penny up and scratches under her chin.
Suki only snorts, and Ethan responded with a gentle shove, causing Penny to wiggle from his grasp and run upstairs.
“Alright, alright, enough. You two should get going, Professor Elm is waiting!” She pulled Suki into an embrace, perhaps maybe a little tight for her daughter's liking, before kissing her on the cheek. “Good luck, my little butterfree.”
Suki smiled as she wiped her cheek with the back of her hand, and she barely had time to reply as Ethan was dragging her out the front door.
“See ya later, Mrs M!” Ethan yelled, and Suki pairs his goodbye with a wave.
The pair eagerly made their way through New Bark Town's residential area, chatting about the starters they were going to pick, as well as debating who was the best one.
“Yay, we're here!” Suki squealed, clasping her hands together as she skipped ahead of Ethan up to the front gate, but stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed a figure looming in front of one of the windows to the lab.
Ethan caught up to her, unaware of her trepidation of the individual loitering at the side of the building.
“What's the hold up? What are ya waiting for?” he asked, but as he followed her gaze he stops too. “Who's that?
Suki shrugged, replying, “I don't know, he's not from the neighbourhood. Maybe he's new. Let's go say hi!” She doesn't wait for him to say anything, and she jogged up to the stranger who was muttering something under their breath. “Hey! Are you here to collect your starter pokemon, too?”
Startled, they turned to her, their red hair whipping at their face, and Suki shrinks back a little when their silver eyes pierced straight into her. Instead of responding, they simply pushed her, and she stumbled into a now-concerned Ethan who had since caught up to her.
“Hey, man, not cool!” Ethan yelled as he catches Suki from behind. The boy only grunted, and ignored them. “C’mon, Suki, let's leave this weirdo.” He loosely grabbed her arm, guiding her to the entrance of the lab.
Suki rubs at her chest where the boy had pushed her, turning to Ethan and asking, “Gee, I wonder what his problem was?”
“I dunno,” he shrugged, before the pair greet one of Professor Elm's assistants who escort them to him.
“Ah, Suki, Ethan, I hope you've made your decision. I did send over a pamphlet about these three pokemon, I hope you had time to read–”
“Yeah, yeah, I read it hundreds of times, professor, I know exactly who I'm picking.”
Elm pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with the pen in his hand. “Uh, well that's good to know, Ethan.” He turned to Suki, “what about you?”
Suki scrunches up her nose. She'd gone over the pamphlet almost religiously ever since she got it, and she still couldn't decide. “Um, I think so."
Elm heads over to a table with three poke balls, and grandly gestures to them. Ethan doesn't waste any time following him.
“Well, mister professor man, I already know who I'm picking so I'll go first.” He keenly pointed to the middle ball. “I choose you, cyndaquil!”
Elm nods, as if he agreed with Ethan’s choice. “A good pick, I'm sure it’ll be very happy with you as its trainer.” He turnedto Suki, who has since then joined Ethan’s side. “I hope that wasn't your choice.”
In fairness, cyndaquil hadn't appealed to her much; fire types scared her, especially after that incident involving a rogue growlithe in the park a few months ago. Bold and temperamental, it fit Ethan perfectly. The two remaining were totodile, the water type, or chikorita, the grass type. Both interested her more than cyndaquil, and she bit the inside of her cheek as she pondered the selection.
“Come on, Suki, I wanna start training with my pokemon like, this week if possible.”
“Okay! Quit rushing me,” she frowned, before turning her attention back to the pokemon. After much deliberation, she finally settled on her choice. “Professor Elm, I think I'm going to choose chikorita.”
The professor hummed, seemingly not convinced by her decision. Nonetheless, he released it from its ball to make sure she was happy with it. “Are you sure this is who you're going to pick?”
The chikorita stared curiously at Suki with its wide eyes, and Suki smiled.
