sooo i'm on a seminar for the whole week and i bring you kny modern au characters going on a six hour canoe trip because that's what i'll be forced to do tomorrow

hi hello btw how's life :D

super excited for the trip: mitsuri (it's all she talks about for days), kyojuro (has never been canoeing before and is really eager to learn it), douma (hopes to see boats capsize), akaza (his gymbro brain is trained to be excited about every sporty thingy ever), nezuko (she's an otter she's a mermaid, the real challenge is keeping her out of the water and inside the boat)

prepared to the point of paranoid: aoi (aggressively reminds everyone to put on suncream at least ten times), tanjiro (brings water for the whole group and then some), shinobu (a first aid kit for you! and a first aid kit for you! first aid kits for everybody!)

lowkey scared of the trip: zenitsu (i'm lying, he's highkey scared of the trip), sanemi (deep water be kinda sus okay), senjuro (kyojuro talks him through it tho), kanae ("something will go wrong i can feel it")

capsizes ten minutes into the trip: muichiro (wasn't paying attention and paddled right into the reed), genya (had the great misfortune to share a boat with muichiro), sabito (was too busy laughing at genya and muichiro to pay attention to where he was paddling), makomo (saw the obstacle coming and gladly let sabito paddle into it just to wipe that grin off his face), inosuke (it's a miracle he didn't take the whole fleet down with him)

chilling at the beach: tengen (if you think he's getting his hair wet for this you're out of your mind), gyomei (some risks shouldn't be taken), kanao (busy preparing the picnic for when the others return), giyuu (going into a tiny shaky boat when you can't swim is just. not a great idea.)

fakes a migraine and stays home: obanai (thank you but no thank you)

KJRKJEKJRJEK REY I LOVE THESE! (Oh goodness canoeing! Hope that's going well/gone well for you friend! Here's to you being a pro and not ending up like Sabito and co akjrkjearjke)

Oh gosh team all in makes me laugh akjrekajrje Mitsuri's absolutely delighted- she's got a waterproof camera so they can take pictures for her scrapbook; Kyojuro's a fast learner and ends up helping Akaza after the redhead struggles with it (gymbro brain ajkrekrjej I love it!) Douma's got his own waterproof camera so he can make a powerpoint presentation of everytime someone capsized over but ends up taking lots of pictures of Nezuko just living her little mermaid life cause she's so freaking cute! (Granted things get a little messy when she almosts gets into a fist fight with a tuna but that is neither here or there)

KJRJERJE THE BUTTERFLY GIRLS KJERKJEKJ Aoi's got that industrial sized can of spray on sunscreen and just coats everyone like it's a game of Splatoon- meanwhile Shinobu's forces them all to watch a CPR/First aid video so they're all informed on what to do if someone goes down (does it accidentally turn into that scene from the office? Yeah. It does) Tanjiro on water duty with his aggressive kindness being all "TAKE THE WATER!" and then sweetly saying "Thank you!" when they do is EVERYTHING KREJRJKERKJ

Oh God I feel Sanemi on that kjarkaejrkej He's seen all the deep sea scary movies and documentaries to know he doesn't mess with deep water- that plus Kanae having her sixth sense that something will go wrong is enough to have him almost back out of the trip altogether. I like to think the only thing keeping him in is Genya- the idea of him getting snatched away by the Kraken makes him sick ("Sanemi the Kraken isn't real-" "I SAW IT! I saw it at the aquarium! It was huge!" "Sanemi that was squid- and a statue of one at that.")

ERJEJKRJE SABITO! He's such a dork- he'd go "HAHA!" before absolutely capsizing himself. Poor Genya gets Muichiro's hair on him and is all "THE KRAKEN!" while said boy is just trying to untangle it from the paddle. They're not even five feet from the beach and still on shallow water so they all just kinda sitting in chest high water panicking while Makomo laughs. Inosuke's likely just floating by on his back like a castaway, someone has to tie a rope on his ankle so he doesn't drift out to open sea.

KJREKJRJKEKJ Tengen is all out in a speedo on the beach getting a tan- someone draws a dick on his chest with sunscreen that he doesn't realize is there until the next day (it was Sabito. Giyu might have helped.) Gyomei's the guy who walks along the water in a big sun hat like a traveler from another world- just enjoying himself but ever confused when people come up to him asking what world he's from. Kanao's making lunch with Shinobu and Kanae while Senjuro's pulling Inosuke back to shore via the rope, etc. etc. They're all just so cute AH!

Obanai is me akjreakjreakjkjre I love the beach but put me in a group that big and I'd fake a migraine too and stay curled up in my bed kjarkjekjreakj He'd absolutely love the pictures Mitsuri sends him though- they plan a little one on one vacation to the beach together down the road.

Thanks for sharing friend! I'm doing alright! Life's good, I'm good- it's storming as I type this (yay!) and I'm feeling my best self! I hope you're doing alright!

#squiggily speaks #ask #myreygn :3 #Hey it's Rey! :3 #modern!demon slayerAU #demon slayer AU #canoeing #I didn't know you could canoe at the beach ajkrjkaejkr #I always assumed it was a backwoods thing; like rivers and streams and whatever #that's pretty neat! :D #This was delightful!#long post

Switch Pt 6

A/N: Okay! This part is a little shorter and if you’re following the actual story, then this is for you. If you’re not here for the story and only here for the smut (I won’t judge, I do the same thing), you’re free to skip this part. It’s a little angsty but a little hopeful. I’m also posting the next part quickly after this so we can get back to more of the good stuff *wink wink*

Find the masterlist here!

Synopsis: Kami and Katsuki go on their date.

Warnings: I’m not sure that I really have any for this one. Maybe some cursing? I dunno. Still barely proofread like always.

Kami didn't know what to wear for this date. Not because she wanted to dress to impress. She kind of didn't. But her mixed feelings were catching up to her. She was unenthusiastic about the date, knowing what she already did about Katsuki so that made her want to dress down. She was also hurt and wanted to dress to the nines to show him what he was missing. A small part of her wanted to believe that he was trying to make it work just because this whole situation could not end well. Why couldn't they just continue to be happily married? She shook her head. This wasn't her fault.

She decided on dressing down a bit, opting for a loose red blouse and a pair of black leggings and red flats. She put her hair into a bun and put in small diamond earrings. She went down into the front hall where Katsuki was already waiting in a white button down and black jeans, scrolling through his phone. He looked up when she stepped closer.

"You look great, Kami," he pecked her on the cheek. "Ready to go?"

She nodded and he took her hand.

It felt familiar and strange to be with him like this. He kept a hand on her thigh as he drove, like he used to. But he wasn't giving her those sly smiles she used to like to see. He was present, they made light conversation but it still seemed like he was preoccupied.

"So where are we going?"

"Our favorite restaurant." Finally he cocked a half smile.

She tried to return it. The place that he was referring to wasn't necessarily her favorite anything. It was the best restaurant that either of them could agree on at any moment. It was where they had their first date after spending an hour wandering the streets just looking for somewhere to stop. It was cute to her initially the playful banter between them. But looking back it was cold, and she didn't care for how picky he'd been. She tried to be cute in kitten heels but she definitely wouldn't have worn them had she known they’d be waking so long. He didn't have a car yet. All his money went to anything hero related and his independence wouldn't let him take up his parents' offer for a car. When they got there, the food was good for walking around hungry for an hour and he was satisfied and so it came to mean something to them.

They pulled up and already the few people littering the sidewalk recognized them and his car. It was a flashy deep red sporty thing Kami didn’t know the name of but plenty of people knew it. He had even been featured in an article about heroes and their vehicles.

After parking, they brushed past a few excited fans. Luckily, Katsuki turned down any pictures and autographs. The only thing she really liked about this place was the low lighting so they would be harder to notice.

They approached the hostess who lit up seeing them. Kami didn't recognize her, she must've been new but they must've told her about them.

"Mr. and Mrs Bakugo!" She had some sort of accent. "What a pleasure to have you dining with us tonight. Your table is ready specifically where you requested it." She grinned and winked and normally Kami wouldn't care about such a small gesture but this woman was beautiful. Long dark hair, thin sleek figure, big eyes, big smile. She glanced at Katsuki, trying to gauge his appraisal of her. His face didn't really show anything. Just pleasant awareness.

She seated them right at the same table where they had their first anniversary, which was also the same night he proposed. It was set towards the front of the restaurant right in front of the window that faced the street. Although it didn't seem like it would be very private, it was tucked into a bit of an alcove. It was separate from everyone else.

For a moment she thought maybe he was trying but she didn't want to read into it too much. They sat down and they took time to look at the menus even though they already knew what they wanted. But this time Kami decided to order a drink.

"What's the occasion?" He asked after they ordered.

She shrugged. "I don't know, you tell me. Our special table?"

He chuckled and looked away from her. "It's just nice to get out every once and while."

She had no reply for that but at the same time she was a bit tired of not trying to enjoy herself. Her mind drifted to Deku and how he always made the best of every situation. She really liked that about him. And even though he was who she'd rather have been on a date with, she thought she might try to enjoy the night because Deku would try.

It was going well after she got her drink. They caught up. Katsuki talked about the security center they were working to open. Even though Kami was involved with most of the work at the agency, she kept away from the budget which he let her know was close to getting approved by the city. He asked about her, said he felt like he hadn't seen her in forever. He was right. She stopped trying to guess where he was or what he was doing or if he was going to sleep in their bed even though he always did. She had just been doing her own thing, talking to Deku and wishing for greener grass. She wasn't necessarily lonely or miserable. They'd started behaving this way weeks ago, even before she found out about him cheating. But the already substantial gap between them made her leave it at that. No questioning, no begging, no arguing. Even here with the opportunity to discuss it, she knew she wouldn't bring it up. She wasn't ready to address what he'd done and then what she'd done. Sure she was curious but she didn't even know what she wanted yet.

So instead she asked what he wanted to do this summer. It was her favorite season and his favorite hero season. He liked getting shit done in the summer. This topic of conversation excited him and for a moment it felt like old times. She found herself chuckling at his animated hands as he described his many lined up projects.

It seemed like the date was turning around until she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She ignored it at first but when she saw it again, she turned and looked out the window. Cameras were flashing.

"Katsuki!" She hissed.

"Hmm?"

"There's paparazzi outside!"

"Oh. Yeah." He offered nothing.

She sat in silence for a moment. "Aren't you going to get rid of them?"

He took an unhurried sip of his water then cleared his throat. "Nah."

"What the hell? Why not?"

"Well that's part of the reason we're here. It's been awhile since we made any public appearances."

She couldn't believe this. She knew it was too good to be true. This date wasn't a date at all. "You…brought me out here to get our picture taken?"

He shrugged. “Two birds, one stone.” Again, he offered no other explanation.

She set her fork down. The rest of the night was lost on her. She stood up then.

“Kami?” He spoke with his mouth full.

“Bathroom.” She rushed away from the table. She was glad to find the four stall restroom empty. She stood in front of the row of sinks and stared at herself until her vision blurred. “What the fuck am I doing?” She looked away, putting her fists to her eyes. She had the urge to cry but her anger burned that away. He doesn’t care, she thought. He can’t care. HIs mind was set on someone else and that left no room for her anymore. As she mulled over her misery, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out automatically to see the text.

Deku: How was the date?

She huffed a laugh. What perfect timing.

Kami: Terrible. I wish I was hanging out with you instead.

She decided to be honest and his response was swift.

Deku: Where are you?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVELY🎂🎉🎁

I hope you day is wonderful and everything goes great!!!

What I'd ask for from Overhaul: obviously, I know that he has very set limits on what he'd be willing to give but honestly, if I could persuade him to go out to dinner. A small romantic little date, which he would probably be super sceptical of unless I had been with him for an insane amount of time. If he said no though, a nice candle lit dinner would suffice, one where it's actual food and face to face at the same table. And maybe a bath, together, and some cuddles.

What I'd ask for from Rumi: Where Rumi is overbearing, in my opinion, she's also a giving lover. If asked correct, I'm sure she would be willing to give nearly anything, and if I ask for a night full of passion love making, I'm sure she could be convinced. However, I feel like she would make me regret that on several different levels. It would be mind blowing to the point of it being blown stupid. She's a rabbit after all and most definitely has the stamina of one so she only stops after she's been satisfied (way after a normal person is) even if the night is supposed to be about me.

What I would for Overhaul: Honestly, I'm not sure. He's a funny little man. I'd do my best to make him happy and everything I could, no matter how humiliating or dehumanizing it might be since it's his birthday after all.

What I would do for Rumi: it's more more like what I wouldn't do is the easier questions. Depending on what I'm allowed to do for her though, I'd start off by making her dinner and a cake like a normal birthday. As the night went on however, I'd start off by giving her a bath as there is no way we are getting there after fucking, and a massage which I probably what leads to sex. I'm sure she would have plans of her owns so it would be simple to follow along like a perfect little doll for her.

Eeeee anon thank you!!! And omg @ what you typed out 🥺💕 So, so much love in there and just. So good. (Also me and a friend brainstormed a little for the Rumi portion lol)

mini birthday ask game

100% agreed on Kai. If you've been together for some time (and you've been good according to his standards) I can see him giving you a little tête-à-tête, no problem. I think he'd gift you jewelry or something nice to wear as well - even if you didn't ask for it (and it's suitable for your dynamic). Just a little something to show he cares and values you (probably ironic considering this dude, but... that's how he is)

And I honestly think he wouldn't ask for much/anything at all - I don't peg him as the guy who cares for his birthday or would use it to make you do despicable things. He makes you do these anyway, birthday or not 😂 (But seriously I think he'd be touched if you got him something/baked him a cake/cooked him a nice meal - he wouldn't really show it, but it's very much appreciated)

I think Rumi would love to spend a good chunk of money on you, it's your special day after all - I think she can be quite flashy, especially when it comes to you. Loves to spoil you, loves to see your eyes light up with wonder as she takes you somewhere expensive and then (when she pulls out a nice new wristwatch) loves to see your eyes turn into dinner plates 🤭 And don't be shy asking for gifts - she doesn't think less of you (as long as you don't overdo it) for wanting something nice for your birthday - she views it as some sort of memorabilia, something you can wear and insteadly think of her. And yes, if you go and ask for sex - you better come prepared 😏

For her gift - I think she'd love that. It's from you, all for her (no one else) - that's more than enough. But. You know what I think she'd also love? Something sporty, maybe a nice hike for you two or something a little more exciting like windsurfing (might be a little too cold in March, but you get my drift hehe). If you can manage to organize all that (talking about a non-yan context here haha) and keep it a secret from her (while also ensuring it doesn't mess with her actual plans) - she'd be so, so happy. She gets to make new memories with you, how special! (And even if you're all tuckered at the end of the day, she's still going to fuck you silly once you come home)

#ask #anon #i kept this one for so long bc it was so nice and i wanted to take my time #so much thought!! kith #and thank you again!!#so lovely

What do both of these episodes tell us, everybody..........two Louds get to be adorable and have an awesome time with the elderly!

"OH NO, A LYNN EPISODE!!! EVERYBODY RUN, WE'RE GONNA BE IN FOR A BAD TIME AND-" *AHEM*........That episode wasn't terrible, you're too hung up on it, Lynn has gotten better. There, are we done with the common formalities? Great, let's all try to be "Good Sports" here and take a nice look at this Lynn episode, shall we?

It's game time everybody, and Lynn Loud is in hype mode! It's the world championships in football (because Nick would have to pay the NFL money to say Super Bowl I'm guessing lol), and she's hoping to see her Lions win it all. However, it seems she's left without anybody to watch it with (guess when you're one of two sports junkies in the house, that can happen a lot), that is until a rather unexpected sound rings her ears during the game. Turns out it was good old Mr. Grouse cheering on the Lions as well, prompting LJ to pay him a visit! Turns out he's as big a Lions fan as well, and Lynn figures he'd be a good watch buddy for the big game! This sounds like fun, but is it everything Lynn expected it to be?

Yes to this episode, as this was just Lynn being incredibly good in it! She was exciting, cute, and was humble to a degree all in one, which of course is a good thing to have for her. But I must say......thank you TLH for adding even more background to Mr. Grouse cause good gosh he's rather underrated at times! Sure he throws some barbs at the Louds time and again, but even he has layers and I guess it took our lovable sporty girl hanging out with him to show us that! The halfway point also is as relatable as can be and any sports fan will totally understand why that is. Gotta say, it's quite nice to see Lynn have another episode that shows she's got a soft and humble side to her, as well as give Mr. Grouse time in the spotlight too. A good one to watch often and no doubt this was enjoyable in my eyes.

From one Loud hanging with an elder to another, it's time to take a look at Lisa's side in some fun "Geriantics"!

We join our super genius Loud child being read a scientific bedtime story by her dear Pop-Pop! After a discussion about bringing human teleportation to reality in 73 years (can ya speed it up child, I wanna have the powers of Nightcrawler from X-Men), Albert notes that he won't be around long enough to see that, which prompts Lisa to try and find a way to prolong Albert's lifespan to ensure he'll be around! Will she succeed?

Okay wow.......an episode that brings to light the fact that yes, Albert is in the later stages of his life and won't be long for the world at some point. While death isn't an unfamiliar concept in the show as we've seen it acknowledged a number of times, to see it talked about a loved one of the family like Albert is a bit more hard hitting. Having Lisa be the one to go through a plot like this works even more because as young as she is, the thought of Albert not being alive for her later years is quite saddening. Seeing her go through many lengths to keep him going for longer than ever shows us just how much Lisa actually cares for people (contrary to what fans may say, hehe). Sure her methods are a bit much, but at least it's coming from a good place (tho the latter half was.......stupidly funny). I will say that episodes like this are NEEDED for Lisa because my goodness does she need her child side to show more often. Often times it's ridiculously easy to forget that she's only a 4 year old kid......with a PhD and has invented time travel......yeah. At least Albert is still entertaining as ever. I'm glad we got to see him hang out with Lisa Really this was a good episode that I wish had much more heartwarming moments, but it delivered on what it did give us so I can't complain too much. This one did well and I loved it.

Also some math for ya: 3 × 5 = this number per day.......you'll find out.

Well I guess that's it for this batch of episodes! I'm not sure if we're getting any more for the rest of this year, but you'd be surprised as to what could come up. For now I'll gladly take some time to prepare for the next new episodes, and I do hope they keep the Saturday slot as it's been working super well! Until next time, stay Loud......stay proud!!!

New Beginnings

Hello again my fellow shippers! Today's day three of Ulquihime week and I'm not gonna lie, this theme was giving me a bit of trouble, since I had an idea for it but used it last year with another prompt. So instead I just made a sort of sequel to that particular entry. If you don't want to go back and read that one I'll just give you a mini summary here.

Basically this is a canon divergent AU in which Orihime dosen't marry Ichigo and runs away from the wedding when she finds out he's not truly in love with her. After her escape she reunited with Ulquiorra and he helped calm her down. That's where the first prompt ended. So here's what would happen after. Hope you all like!

@ulquihimeweek

Ulquihime Week- Day 3- Reunion/Caught

New Beginnings

"Ulquiorra, you've been glued to that phone for almost three hours now. Please stop before you go blind." Halibel chided him.

"Leave him be Hali, he's still waiting for pet-sama to reply," Nnoitra told her. The comment earned him a cushion to the face, courtesy of Zommari.

"All of you be quiet! I am not waiting for a reply. Orihime answered already."

"Would ya look at that, Ulquiorra's finally getting some!"

Once he silenced Nnoitra with cushions Ulquiorra went back to the chat. It had been almost a month since he last saw Orihime.

After she ran away from her wedding and they met by chance, he had allowed her to spend the night in his house. The next day one of her friends came to pick her up, and the redhead promised to keep in touch with him. He hadn't seen her personally since, but they messaged each other very often. Last week however, the messages had abruptly stoped, and he'd gotten worried.

Today those worries ended, as Orihime not only wrote to him but she asked to meet him in a cafe tomorrow.

"She says she's got a surprise. Should that be concerning?"

Halibel was standing nearby. She chuckled at the question. "Not really. I'm sure she's just happy to finally see you. From what you tell me, the girl needed comfort desperately."

"I'm still enraged at Kurosaki for what he did. A part of me wants to get revenge."

"That's not gonna be possible. Unless you want to get smashed against the wall again." His friend replied sarcastically.

"A small price to pay, but the woman told me not to get in 'trouble' for her sake. So I won't interfere unless she asks."

"Good. It's nice to know someone in this house isn't a reckless moron." The green-eyed blonde glared at Nnoitra, who rolled his eyes.

"I only tried to fight a cop one time!"

Ulquiorra decided to ignore the bickering and concentrate on hid phone. Being a human might've gotten easier, but not dealing with his old comrades.

***

"Now remember, be nice, let her speak but don't stay too quiet, and for the love of all that's good just ask her out properly."

Halibel and Szayel had been helping him get ready for the meeting. Ulquiorra was still nervous, but he hoped for the best.

"You two are going to ruin his chances of scoring. He looks like he came out of a band Tesla likes."

"Says the man who looks like the lovechild of a sewer goblin and Slenderman." Szayel didn't even turn to look at Nnoitra as he finished brushing Ulquiorra's hair'. "Done! Now the princess won't take her eyes off of you."

"Thank you Szayel, thank you Halibel."

"At your service!"

"I'll get going then, I want to be early for our meeting."

"Just make sure that if you bring the cutie home, you put a sock in the door."

Ulquiorra ignored Nnoitra's comment. Letting Szayel deal with him.

"I'm beginning to understand why I am the only one with a boyfriend here," Szayel commented. "You need an intervention, Jirga."

"Me? You're the one dating Starrk!"

As the bickering began Ulquiorra headed for the door and waved goodbye to Halibel.

The cafe was near his house, and from what he could see it was not too busy. Orihime's hadn't arrived yet. He picked a table and was ready to sit down, until he noticed someone skating right towards him.

"Watch out!"

He recognized Orihime's voice, and caught her before she could crash into him.

"Orihime?"

"Hi Ulquiorra! It's been a while. You look great!"

When she smiled Ulquiorra went speechless. He recovered quickly, and let her sit with him.

"I take it you work here?"

"Yes. My friend Riruka is the manager and I've been working here for a week now. That's why it took me a bit to reply, sorry if you were worried."

"Don't apologize. I'm glad you've found a job you like. The uniform suits you as well."

"Really? I didn't think black was my color."

"To be fair, you look good in any clothes."

Orihime blushed from the compliment. "Thank you. So, what have you been up to? Are the others still around?"

He sighed. "Regrettably so, Cyan and Tesla moved out a while ago, and if Starrk proposes to Szayel soon then it's likely they'll move out as well."

Orihime giggled. "I know they drive you mad sometimes but I'd love to live in house that lively."

"Tell me that after you spent a week with Nnoitra as a roommate. Speaking of which, are you still rooming with Arisawa-san?"

"Not exactly, Tatsuki-chan is traveling due to competitions, but she did leave me the apartment. Once I get a place of my own I'll move out, being on Karakura it's a little draining."

He knew what she referred to, it was clear in her voice. Ulquiorra found it hard to hide his rage, still, he managed to calm down.

"You know that if you cannot stand to stay in Karakura any longer, you're more than welcome to stay with me."

"I know, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. But when I finally settle in Naruki, I want it to be on my own. I can't keep depending on others forever. Besides, you dealt with enough of my crying, that night, already."

Yes, that fateful night when they met again. It was supposed to be her wedding that to the man she loved, and instead, all she could do was cry.

And yet, a part of him was happy things turned out the way they did. That he got to see her again, and even establish a friendship. 'But at what cost? This isn't what she wanted and you know it.'

"Ulquiorra? Are you ok?"

Orihime must've noticed his change in mood, so he hid it away yet again. "I'm fine."

"You're thinking about the day we met again, aren't you?"

"My apologies. You probably don't even want to think about that night but I can't seem to let it go.

It's selfish of me to be happy about this when you lost the man you loved."

Orihime put her hand over his. "Ulquiorra, you're not the only one who's happy things turned out this way.

I did love Ichigo, and I was fully ready to marry him, I gave up college and internships to stay in Karakura with him, but he burned that away in just a moment. I refuse to be the one grieving.

He's the one who lost out on a devoted loving wife. Let him carry the grief if he has any at all.

I'm immensely happy to have gotten out when I did. My life's not going to be wasted on a loveless marriage, and I'm happy that you're a part of my new life. So don't be angry on my behalf."

Ulquiorra smiled. "I've always known you were a strong woman, but this is far more than I expected. You've grown a lot Orihime. You should be proud."

"Thank you. It’s nice to know that someone thinks of me as such.” Orihime smiled. “Now, let’s go onto more cheerful matters. I got you a gift! Here!"

She handed him a small dark blue box, Ulquiorra opened it to find a replica of the bracelet he had given her when they were enemies, only this bracelet was made to fit him.

"Do you like it? It's not real silver but it matches the one I have. So we can both wear them at the same time."

In the past six years he'd been a human Ulquiorra never felt moved to cry, until now. "I shall treasure it forever. Thank you." He immediately put it on, the bracelet was a perfect fit. "Now, I'll be the one to spoil you for a while."

***

The evening only had so many hours, but he intended to make good use of them all. After having a nice dinner at the cafe, he took Orihime to the movies. It was about a SciFi story he had yet to read, but seeing how happy Orihime was while watching he knew he made the right choice. After that he let her pick the activity.

"We could go skating. Would you like that?"

"I have no problems with that, but aren't you tired of skating at work?"

"Not really, I love doing it. Besides it's different when you skate carrying food and when you do it with a partner."

"Alright then, let's go to the skate park."

Relief washed over him when the park was almost empty. Truth to be told Ulquiorra wasn't proficient at any sport, including skating.

While Orihime was busy putting on her skates, he went over to nearby post and got a bouquet of hibiscus flowers.

When he got back she was done with her skates and had tied her orange hair into pigtails. He thought she looked even cuter.

"Here. I thought it would be fair to get you a gift as well." Ulquiorra handed her the bouquet.

Orihime was almost gentle when holding the flowers. She took a deep breath, enjoying the secent. "They're gorgeous, thank you. How did you know this was my favorite flower?"

"They're the flower on your headpins."

"True. I like that you always notice things like that. It's one of your best traits."

That made him flustered. It didn't matter how much time they spent together he would never get used to Orihime's cute compliments.

Once the the two were ready they headed for the track and began skating. His balance wasn't the best but thankfully he didn't slip.

"Ulquiorra."

"Yes?"

"Thanks for tonight. It's been the most fun I've had in a while."

She gave him a kiss on the cheek, that almost made him fall. Orihime held on tightly to him.

"Caught ya!" she chuckled. "You don't skate much, do you?"

"Busted. I rarely do anything sporty. Although that's likely to change."

"Really?"

"Yes. If I am going to be spending time with you, I'll learn in no time."

"Are you asking me out?"

"I am. Would you accept this invitation?"

"Yes, absolutely."

Lady Tigra

Just a small entry about how Charlie ended up with a tiger.. because why not. Literally, that's all that happens lol.

Owning a tiger wasn't technically legal in California, nor is it on the east side where I come from. That was fine and dandy, however because technically.. I didn't nor do I own Tigra. We simply have a mutual respect.

The Past

"Some take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world." That's what Cyndi Lauper said. I sang this song to the female tiger locked away and chained like a pitbull behind a fence in a small enclosure. The yard was way too small for a tiger to thrive. They needed a basset hound or a golden retriever, but that wasn't what they were in the business of selling. Tigers were their product with no questions asked. It hurt to be at a bbq in North Carolina on a Turn Up Tour, partying while a whole sluggish tiger laid smacked by the sun and ignored with nowhere to go. I barely knew the hosts to make excuses for them. As far as I was concerned, this was normal to them. This is why I made the impulsive bargain and purchased the $500 freedom of the Bengal/Siberian tiger mix with the intention of taking her to a tiger sanctuary where she could be free to live her tiger dreams.

"You don't wanna stay a pet. You want to be a real tiger and live a real tiger life, don't you? I can help you." I spoke evenly, standing a foot away from the enclosure so not to appear threatening. I wanted to build trust because this tiger didn't know me from anyone else who handled her. The big cat's ear twitched as it laid watching me, so I kept speaking to her until she turned and stood, coming closer curiously. Sitting on the ground, I continued speaking. Eventually, I was able to inch closer and closer with minimal vocalization from the tiger. Twenty minutes passed with me feeling out the tiger's mood and level of receptiveness before I took a major risk and put my finger lightly on the fence ready to snatch it back at any moment. The tiger didn't react at first, and then she licked my finger briefly.

"Yeah, yeah, visit when you want. Food and all that is covered. The donation will cover it," the sporty caucasian man waved referring to the hefty sum I gave for him to house my new buddy. "So you just impulsively bought a tiger after seeing it at a bbq," he grinned. It was quite a story. I knew it was impulsive, but I had to.

The caucasian man was a big cat enthusiast by the name of Derrick. The man had four tigers already living in blissful luxury with a pool, a climbing structure, a tiger house, and lots of trees and open space. This tiger fit right in happily.

"Do you have a name for her?" Derrick stood by and the the tiger roamed, pushing between us as if sensing that the white definitely wasn't right. Derrick backed away immediately when the tiger growled, threatening him with her long fangs. He didn't want the smoke. She licked her lips, walking around me protectively and I didn't come against the behavior. Not at all. She sensed what she sensed and if she was protective, then I appreciated the care. Derrick remained a few feet away as the tiger explored her new space unhindered.

"Tigra. Lady Tigra. This is a special tiger, Derrick. I want this tiger to have space and lots of tiger memories. No breeding! I will be back."

"She's in good hands," he confirmed and based on how well the other tigers looked, I knew she'd be fine.

The Present

"Look at them go," Charlie and Aly'sha grin watching Frost run like hell after slapping Tigra. She was on his ass. It was just a little pounce, harmless roughhousing. The tiger sanctuary at the mansion was a Godsend and as soon as Charlie had moved in, she'd had Tigra brought over. This was now her permanent home and she'd adjusted well. They had that in common. Charlie would talk about it with her all of the time. Of course Tigra was still mildly aggressive, especially when it came to her food. No one messed with her food. However, she never once attacked. She played a little rough from time to time, but it was all love. Erik loved to wrestle with her and teach her maneuvers, having a highly intelligent jaguar of his own.

"She's as protective over you as Preyy is loyal to me," he'd said one day while working with Charlie to train Tigra how to attack on command and recognize dangerous situations opposed to harmless ones. "Should you need her in time of trouble, she'd be there," Erik nodded, watching as Tigra stalked around waiting for her IN so that she could playfully jump on him. Charlie hoped that would never be necessary, but it felt good to know that she had a second protector who would be loyal to her to the death.
