if fans wanted to include peach in stuff they write, would that be okay? and how would they write peach's personality? aside from "FIGHT ME" anyway, i think that much is a given lol. i only really write the anime characters 'cause that's what i know, but it sounds like it'd be kinda fun to try making a version of ash that fits into this blog's universe! nerf'd Obviously, but i think she'd probably appreciate how hands-on he gets when training his pokemon!

Ok, I get a lot of these messages, and I often hear folks wanting to throw peach into their stories and comics and writings, and I will always simply ask that if it’s published online publicly, to be linked to it so I can snoop and enjoy the content too. If someone asks about her in your work, let them know about the blog I guess? But literally I love that people take this stuff, these characters and stories, and make new stuff with it. No ones making money off my work here? So where’s the issue? Go for it buddy, knock yourself out, I’m all for it.

For you, and all the others out there who want to add peach, and other characters to your world building, I will give you a detailed rundown of the main lot, and how they behave, what they do, how they function. You can use that, use bits, or use none of it, I do not mind at all. If you’re creating something, you’re in control, not me.

So, peach doesn’t actually fight people as much as you’d think. She’s very aware most cannot and do not want to do that, and so she likes to keep to herself with regards to that aspect of her life, she doesn’t ask to spar with people, or even bring it up at all, but people ask her all the time, even if they clearly would lose or become hurt should she miscalculate during the fight. She looks at people like they usually create problems, and often has a somewhat reserved nature to other humans. You have to work quite hard to get anything more than formalities out of her. She will dead-pan handle people with blunt and very to-the-point statements, aid whenever possible, but very quickly get back to handling the Pokemon she so carefully tends. Her focus is clear, she’s all about hard work, her very small select family, and the Pokemon.

Her brutal, loud and brash personality only comes out with friends, family, difficult humans, OR any Pokemon. She will joke and laugh and play with Pokemon, but clam up around humans, maintaining tight body language and generally will be a little cold by regular standards. She does however have some weaknesses in this emotionless shield she puts up. When peach was young she was always angry, which swung so fast to sadness, back and forth. Her teenage years it just got worse and worse, it was crippling at points. She is to this day, full of fire and rage, even sadness, but now she has learnt to control it, to use it. When she sees that in others, it’s familiar, and she is pushed to drop the front, and be very real with the person. Underdogs I suppose, people who get bad reps, but deserve the same as everyone else. She can’t ignore it.

Once you start to pry open her personality, you’ll find she’s a lot more laid back and fun than originally appeared, you just have to work hard to find that side of her. She will meme reference, can’t dance to save her life, loves her coffee, and can be caught in quiet contemplation while gardening. This hobby is her calmest, and often is why she can stay so level headed when her quiet rage boils up again. Without time outside she will become grouchy, a little snippy, and lethargic. Will not go in the ocean for any reason other than life or death, is fine with ponds and rivers, or water at wading height. Likes the rain.

With regards to her training others, they usually have to tolerate her somewhat strict nature. She is a little....unforgiving, holds a grudge if you make a lot of mistakes, and has no tolerance for ignorance in the age of information that we all live in. In previous posts I’ve mentioned she’s only recently selected two students, after many years of testing kids who want to learn from her. Hundred tried out, only two have ever been approved. How she teaches is very fast paced, be prepared to get some scrapes and bruises, she will test your physical and emotional tolerances with intense tasks, carefully watching students like a hawk. Bad posture in your stance? She’ll be the first to tell you to sort it out. Not hearing your Pokemon partner? Right, now you spend the day without using words trying to communicate, let’s see how you like not being listened to.

This is a woman who has spent her life saying very little, and watching everything, she watches Pokemon and can see an issue from a mile off, and in battles, her observations are why she can react fast, and chose effective strategy to avoid damage and achieve results. Don’t let her body fool you, her strongest asset is analysing, watching, planning. Those skills have over the years transferred to people too. As a student, mistakes don’t go unnoticed with this professor.

Her methods are harsh but fair, and should you prove yourself, she will protect you with her life.

Because of her disinterest in kids and lots of noise, she does pass the training of students on to the other staff members whenever possible. Grey takes on the lions share of battle lessons, he is far calmer, more open and friendly, with patience for people, and an empathy that peach sometimes struggles to have. When you go through a lot of harsh training, and difficult events, it’s hard to change how you feel or think, with peach, well, she’s been through it. Most do not come out the other end in one piece, but she did, and it made her strong. You may think I mean strong like buff and big, and yeah sure she is, but I mean it mentally more than anything. Peach will not quit. She has learnt to destroy the boundaries that stop people getting hurt, gone is the fear that freezes you in your tracks, that feeling that you’ll pass out if you go one more step. She’s learnt to ignore it.

This means she’s a little forgetful at how it is to be normal, to be vulnerable and soft and squishy like students so usually are.

She has her issues, but for the most part, visitors get a laugh, a smile, a calm assertive confidence, and facts. She will indulge those who have genuine interest, or show a connection with nature, an understanding of the balance that needs to be struck for everyone to live well together.

Despite her many flaws, she’s fiercely protective, and will go above and beyond to defend the island, it’s staff, the Pokemon and the visitors. Injustice is her biggest gripe, along with littering, and she doesn’t stand by quietly if something happens that seems unfair.

You will not see her without Valka, her vulpix, close by. That Pokemon doesn’t like to be touched by strangers, at all, and will run the second someone comes at her with that intent. Peach will scold you for pushing yourself onto her, should you persistently try to get close to pet Val. They are in sync, if peach is sad, Val is sad, if Val is stressed, peach is stressed, and so on. They are inherently connected, it’s just been that long, the psychic bridge between them has been built, and reinforced over the years.

The only other Pokemon who follows her so endlessly is Booker, a teddiursa who’s pretty rough looking. He quietly trots behind, grouchy and stoic, they fight closely together a lot. He lost his mom a long time ago to poachers, and peach took him in, and changed her whole life for him. Not many people know, but Booker was the reason she left the rangers, changed career, and got so strong. Will tolerate people petting him but isn’t keen at all, grumbles a lot and tries to move away.

You may also need to know about the others, for the sake of writing, she here a few more bits that may be important to you, or others wanting to do this.

Grey is very tall, very burly, composed, tells bad dad jokes, is a bit of a goof if allowed to be. If he sees a pun, he’ll say it. Can’t help himself. Very nice guy to work with, good at keeping people calm and grounded. Pokemon are drawn to him like a moth to a flame, he gives off warm energy, and has inhuman amounts of patience. If you wrong his family however, he will snap back.

He grew up in the city, loves to swim and hike and cycle, can snowboard, is really sporty. A total brain box with held items, and boosting stats. He will explore many paths, to make sure visitors and students get the information they need, in a way that can be remembered and retained for later. Is a huge guy, but will get on the floor to play with a tiny Pokemon. Treats big “meaner” looking species like babies, very good with all pokemon.

His free time is spent either tinkering, swimming, or trimming his bonsai trees. This guy stares at screens a lot, so appreciates time away from them. Peach built him his own little greenhouse for his trees and tools, which he keeps clean and loves dearly.

His methods as a teacher are built around fun and games, he makes hard work easier to do by distracting trainers from the difficult bits, and focusing in on something more interesting or compelling.

His most commonly seen Pokemon would be a houndoom, Saxon, old battle veteran, retired now to herding and being a good boy. Very gentle, loves a pet.

Pari, now a fully fledged nurse, often oversees the labs front desk and pokecentre features, such as healing pokemon, and informing trainers who come to visit. Her skills with eggs and hatchlings is high, she’s great with younger Pokemon, and hands out good advice to trainers a lot. She’s not a fighter, never was, but can find any file, any study, any book, and any refrence you may need. A true bookworm, loves her romance novels, chat shows and upbeat celebrity gossip mags. Will cry at a lot of stuff, be it sad or happy.

She’s got a seriously upbeat personality, but if caught off guard or shocked, she gets a little flustered. Too much chaos will overwhelm her, but usually she’s on top of things. The years spent on the island have made her better at maintaining composure in emergencies. With lots of siblings, she’s very competent with others, and has a good ability to disarm cagey people with her jolly nature. Because of this, she can sometimes gain information from trainers that some of the more harsh professors may not have access to. Charming is a word for it.

Her partners are an eevee, and a happiny. They are quite sweet and well adjusted, the eevee gets a bit bouncy if you get it too excited.

Hiii Jahn!🌙 I’m just a new follower. I discovered you while searching for D9 asks. I was amazed by your in-depth explanation on each placements. 🤍 I’d like to send in my D1 & D9 charts also for future spouse reading to understand more about it.Thank you so much!!🤍 Please take your time. I’ll patiently wait. 💕 Hoping you’ll have a lovely day/night! 🌹

Hello there

This, my love has been a longtime coming. First off I'm gonna introduce you to an intuitive read and then present it in a more formal, bulleted manner. You seem to ha e chosen quite a challenging path in this lifetime. Props to you for bravery. And a hug + some tea to help you brave it 💕 your life could be a beautiful movie on love, healing, growth, spirituality and personal power.

Future BAE seems to be stable, practical reliable with service being his love language. He is down to grow together, and help you walk in your power.

Taurus rising.

Scorpio 7th house. + Pluto + moon.

Wow. Lots of shadow work involved when it comes to close personal relationships. You need to turn that critical eye inwards.

Untill you work at managing or integrating your inner child issues, any partners you end up with will continue to trigger you. At its best, this is someone who helps you work through your feelings. Breakdown. Confront reality. Breakdown and rebuild yourself stringer than ever. A hades and persephone kind of love. Lots of sexual allure. Strength, protectiveness, passion, push and pull, makeup sex? Specially since the ruler of the 7th house (Mars) is in the 5th house. You're not the kinda person who'd be happy to marry just for stability. Passion and mutual attraction, love is a must.

Mars and rahu. Service. Over exerting for those you love. Days spent in bed. Service kink. Lady in the streets, freak in the sheets.

You're definitely attracted to people who help you better your place in the world. They have to have a little bit of ' I wanna do good / change the world in them'. A friendly leader kinda figure. Disciplined.

Your darakarka Mars is retrograde. Controlling. Dominant. Future BAE is definitely gonna overthink themselves into a worry when it comes to dating and wooing. Or they could think that only their way is the right / best way to do soemthing. Poor lil baby( I say baby, but as a Virgo Mars they're probably the person who takes charge, plans, overanalyzes things has a set way of doing things.) this could be someone who is an advocate for universal free education, teaches children for free or some such. Could second guess themselves when it comes to taking action.

Mars Rahu conjunction: sub kink. They'd want a lot of adulation. Could be from a different culture from you or have studied in a very different environment.

I think your fs gets better at dealing with overthinking after you guys tie the knot. They learn to be more at peace with themself, letting their intuition guide them instead of focusing too hard on trying to do the logical thing. Okay with being messy. May like to act and arrange things behind the scenes. Imagine coming home tired to find that they've already called the restaurant, arranged for your favorite food to be dropped off, warmed, alid out on the table. Gives me the vibes of a puppeteer(katputli - a rajasthani folk dance)pulling the strings. You can't see them, but the show goes on.

From being ficusssed on accumulating wealth your focus goes towards doing things that boost your sense of Self confidence. You could also grow more tactful as you learnt to seek out harmony. You probably become more direct and assertive as a result the peopep you attract are more easy going / Libra like.

I'm seeing a house for a wedding present? Or moving into your spouse's ancestral home. They could also come from a matrilineal lineage.

Your household could be supported by one or both of you working in tax, insurance, financial industries. There could also be soemthing related to life insurance.

Pluto and Saturn in the 7th is a tad concerning. There's a very heavy sense of some kind of karmic duty. Saturn is exalted in Libra.

Way too controlling. Narcissism. Moon Mars mother. Karmic ties. Moon 8th house.

U must learn to stand up for yourself.

If you're meant to have any babies in this lifetime, they'd probably visit you in a dream or a psychic trance before they come down to earth. Call it mothers intuition. This is just a gut feeling wrt your moon in 8th house in Scorpio in the D9. I say this because the moon rules the 4th house of home, and children are an important part of the house if you're a mom. The 4th house is also the home/ heartland what you'd protect.

You suppress your emotions. Emerges as a volcano. But a cold one. U turn to ice and grow aloof.

Out of body experiences

You need to learn to be more dominant and combative. I'd suggest watching the teal Swans video on creating a zero sum game in relationships. Strengthened by Aries ascendant in d 9. This life u gotta learn to fight for yourself, and not sit quietly because people attacked u or kept u under their thumb when u were younger by a strict dad.

OK, now let's look at the placements and aspects

D1 lagna (ascendant) VS D9 lagna

You go from comfort stability minded to taking more risks and initiative. Self Confidence increases. Assert your needs better.

Vargottama Moon

The moon is quite dominant as it does not change signs between d1 and D9. You're super cooperative and hate to disappoint people. I'd suggest reading up more on Anuradha Nakshatra.

Moon - Pluto - 7th house

Could indicate karmic ties or past life connections to FS. You work through a lot of your own inner insecurities, self doubt, lack mindset related issues in close romantic relationships. There could be some mother wound related issues. You can only love as deeply as you allow yourself to love yourself. In order to attract people who inspire positive growth in you, you must first sit with your shadow, examine why people trigger you, and make peace with yourself or, perhaps your mom?

Mars Rahu - sextile moon

Mars and Rahu are both impulsive action oriented Planets. Them sextile your Pluto and moon could lead you to feel quite triggered and attacked by the slightest hint of advice or suggestion from someone else. Sex with the wrong people can really mess with you. In a better manifestation good sex has you feeling liek you can change the world and also that you're super safe and secure.

Venus combust - 10th house

You need to feel appreciated for your uniqueness. Ego battles could arise and get in the way of finding, expressing love.

Saturn- Ketu Pisces

The ruler of your 7th Nakshatra this is someone who loses themself to community service, could do too much for the wrong cause. Money could come in from fish farming. Seduments or other aquatic culture.

Anuradha 7th house

This is a Nakshatra that focuses on achieving success by working with a group. Your fs is collaborative and good at managing people. Someone who shares success. And is hence likely to go far ahead in life. Major success may come later in life.

Mars 7th house

Expect healthy amount of frank, direct communication. Some arguments with FS. But there's also protectiveness, concern, and the will to do the best by someone. Mars and moon aspects indicate a healthy sex life. They're probably enamored by you. You in turn would find them super sexy.

7th Nakshatra lord and Ketu

Your fs and relation with FS is a highly spiritual one. You could both be looking for a soulful connection. There is love, there us duty there is a need to help each other value time, focus on the future. They could have been a strict disciplinarian figure Ina past life. You both probably have a knack to look down at your phone just in time tos ee an email / message alert from them? Perhaps you two run or help/volunteer at an institution for the mentally challenged.

7th house relation to pieces

OK, so this is where we have a lot going on. Mars opposes saturn. And is placed with Rahu. Mars here feels restrained. Your fs could feel blocked in their creative gifts. In the sense that all they want to do is focus on it, create, post, gain fame but saturn and Ketu try to restrict their creative time. They could be perfectionists. Having to redo things. Since Rahu is also in virgo there's a focus on creating things with the hands and fine tuning every single detail. Directed towards you, this is someone who is always encouraging you while trying to micromanage a lot of details because they think they're being helpful. This is sosmrhtinf you two could have in common so

Mars Darakarka: they teach u to fight for you. Opinionated. Honest. Perfectionist. Service before self. Hardworking. Have integrity. Very active mind.

Mars conjunct Rahu-venus D9 creativity

The 5th house rules creativity and with your venus in the 9th house in D9 your fs is someone who encourages u to be more creative and follow or take up a course to be better at your hobbies. It's like full creative freedom to be you and do you.

D9 Exalted Saturn

Justice. Duty. Not very affectionate but they make sure you have everything you need. Balanced approach. Someone thoughtful. They're fair in a fight.

Libra, venus ruled 7th house

Beauty, peace and harmony in thr relationship. You're not gonna feel like you're being taken for grated. They will treat you to nice things and probably have a schedule for dates and other such romantic leisure activities.

Jupiter rules 9th, in 2nd house

Philosophy. Art. Culture. Museums. Travel coudk be a key focus in your married life. This is something you two bond over. Could also strike God fortune when u do travel or go on pilgrimages. Luck and money via foreign sources.

Rahu in aquarius

Social media influence or you get better at making friends just make sure that they're not provoking you into taking uncalcukated risks or actions that are wya too bizarre. Could denote some kind of breakthrough with technology, a love for a high end gadget driven spaces. An interest in Photography. Any couples pictures posts would be well received. Like you're the couple that looks exotic in their photos. Radiant. Aloof, intellectual, stimulating and even more appealing together.

Jupiter Taurus in 2nd house of D9

Debilitated Jupiter 9th house- religious issues - venus 9th house - conversion?

You may have struggled with religious ideologies being forced on you, or the one you were born into didn't quite feel right. Your fs may follow a different religion or show you that being religious does not mean you feel bad about some of your lifestyle choices.

Pisces Mars d9: he is either tactful and charming or a bit manipulative. You may feel like you prefer to act behind the scenes. It may be a little hard to be recognized for the things you do untill you get really really angry.

D9 Cancer 4th house: the home is a serious source of pride. Beautiful interiors and you'd be quite guarded about who you invite over. The best meals. Soothing interiors.

Pilgrimage within the 1st year of becoming a mom ( Jupiter's aspect on the 9th house)

Venus in Sagittarius D9: future BAE is gonna love his freedom. He could be a workaholic.

Alrighty, that's all I've got today. I hope this helps. I wish you the best on your healing and integration journey

🌅Found Peace In Your Violence 🌅

Dean Winchester x Castiel

..... ..... ......... ....... ............ ....... .......

Moving to a new place for a new start was always hard for Castiel . He wasn't really a people person , not because he didn't like them . It was just that his " people skills " are " rusty " as he likes to say .

His mother and Father liked to adopt & foster until they divorced .

Father had gotten custody of everyone and got remarried to Becky , my mother used to call her the annoying , crazy ,bitch etc , etc . He wonders how she's doing , she wasn't quite the best mother but he still remembers everyone that comes and goes from his life .

His family was weird , they weren't like other family's. It always seemed to be a competition among each other . It even caused almost half his siblings to leave and never look back . Anna is probably living the craziest life with no rules .

Balthazer is probably running a fashion line . Or maybe there all with Lucifer breaking the rules and rebelling to everything. Although he thinks Balthazar would have gone far away from those three . He was the one he miss the most .

Father doesn't like talking about them , maybe he doesn't cares . We were after all kids he took in his home to create a batallion of soldiers that's what Gabriel says all the time . It was now 9 members of the family that was left . His Father , Becky , their son Alfie , Michael the oldest , Gabriel the trickster, Eileen Leahy his favorite sister , she was the last child to be recruited from the foster house . I was the youngest one from the rest of the herd .

..... ..... .....

His Mother was the first to go , should he still call her that . Once the divorce papers was filed , Naomi packed her stuff and slammed the door shut . Castiel waited for her to come back that night . Hours went by but she never came back .

Anna soon left after , She had left in there middle of the night .

Father wasn't upset he just announced that we should move soon .

3 week before moving , dad and Raphael had a fight . Father faced him and gave him ultimatum, it had seemed for a while everything was alright . But Lucifer had other plans ,he had managed to convince raph that he shouldn't listen to father .

The move was cancelled , and when Gabriel had started prank wars against everyone Father wasn't even there to ground him . Balthazar told his siblings that he would soon move out he was 18 after all . He talked about his dreams , plans and adventures . Michael and lucifer didn't sticked around to listen only Gabriel, Eileen, and him .

He promised that every time he would go visit a different place he would bring back souvenirs . And once he was stabled they would take a family trip together .

In their last hug castiel didn't want to let go , something told him that he wasn't gonna see him anymore .

When he was 15 , standing near the porch in front the house waiting for Balthazar to appear until father shouted his name . They had to get on the road to head to their new home . All he could do was hold Eileen and Gabriel's hand .

..... ... .....

Everything was calm , other than the fear of not knowing if you were the next victim of Gabriel's prank list .

Eileen was teaching him to get better at sign language . Michael was going to college while Lucifer was only 17 but seemed no to be interested in school . Becky had Alfie. Silence didn't exist in the household .

. And for once he had a friend , He was kinda surprised she stucked around.

Her name was Kelly Kline , she was in the debate team and a Straight A student . He met her through Eileen . He understood why they both got along . Both were strong minded girls and didn't let anybody tell them shit .

Kelly wanted to make a change and she wanted both Eileen and him to help her . And to this day he doesn't understand why the world took her away soon .

She was pretty , she had raven hair and had a kind smile . She taught him good things can come out of the bad things . She made him want to do things he normally wouldn't do .

So he honestly didn't understand what she saw in Lucifer. They would constantly bicker but yet they were together . Eileen would just let him rant about bees because she preferred that instead of seeing him wallow .

Gabriel would often give him advice that would make her be interested but it usually involve some porno Gabe once watched . And Castiel usually didn't know If he was kidding or not .

But then suddenly His brother and best friend broke up . Kelly wanted to go out and forget she ever dated an asshole . Lucky for her They were invited to a party .

He doesn't quite remember that much of that night .

" Are you sure you want to do this . I think we are extremely intoxicated and not in our right minds . And we might doing a mistake that we will regret , I'm not saying I regret making out with you cause your an amazing girl I have ever meet besides Eileen but that's different cause she's my sister and I don't think of her that way , And now I made this so awkward by bringing up m- "

A hand covering his mouth making him stop ranting . looking up to see her , and the fear he once had just vanished just by looking at her smile

" Castiel ! There are alot of regrets that I have done including that I ever got involve with that douchebag . I just want to make a choice that I know won't end up as a mistake . "

..... ...... .....

That choice was inevitable to hide , not because both Kelly and castiel started a somewhat relationship . It was revealed on a Thursday that Kelly was pregnant .

Lucifer was never one take responsibility for his actions , so he told her to get rid of it .

" yeah I'm not planning to do some father bonding or give up my plans for a baby that might not even be mine . Hey you can't lie and deny that you haven't been jumping back and forth with Novak brothers . But wow really castiel , but look at the bright side you can dump all that responsibility to him . He will believe anything - ".

The sound of the slap that Kelly gave him echoed but it wasn't enough so she kneed him on the balls and lastly punched him .

" I hope you rot in hell , "

That was the last conversation she had with him when Eileen told her he had left the house .

... ..... ..... ..... ....

Father never showed how it affected him when his children left . But now that Lucifer left , he started to drink again and he looked sad .

He shook it off when it had been a week later . It seemed a good time to mention someone pregnancy. Father didn't think the same , he was quite mad , especially when it was revealed that they weren't sure who the father was . He remained calm afterwards when they all agreed it was 90 percent Lucifers .

Castiel was only 18 and now left with the mess of his own brother .

Once he graduated he stopped seeing Kelly for 5 months . Eileen would lecture him how he was being a bad friend , how he should be more supportive. He let 2 more months pass by and he couldn't help but ask Eileen how was Kelly doing .

That's how he end up in her room , Kelly was glowing . She had belly bump , He apologized for not being by her side , for letting their friendship tumble down the drain . She forgave him , discussing what they had missed . Avoiding the topic of the elephant of the room , until the baby kicked .

Castiel loved the baby already .

..... ..... .....

They never really tackled in depth of truth of who was the father . Castiel didn't put mind into it , since he felt the baby move he doesn't know how to explain it . it was like epiphany , a connection.

So he soon took the role , he read books , used the internet , asked some questions from Becky that rambled on and on but he still got information he needed . In favor that he would learn and be ready when his baby would come . He helped Becky with Alfie , at first it was hard but then it was fine

" your gonna be alright , you got this castiel . "

" I hope so . "

... .... ..... .... .... .... .....

It happened so fast , his mind was so confused one second he's in bed and then he's at the hospital . Every time she would scream of pain he felt bad . his hand was hurting from the way she was holding it .She held a grimace from every contraction .

" It hurts so much , I don't think I can't do it . Ahhh baby you have to go easy on mommy . "

She screamed again of agony , she hold his hand tighter as if it would help from the pain .

" You can , your strong and soon we will be at home I'll be taking care of our baby while you rest and sleep . How does that sound ? "

" That sounds like the best idea "

..... ...... ...... ....

He feels like he failed , he could've done something or maybe done something different . He didn't think Kelly would leave him , she promised no to . He guess it wasn't a coincidence, life seemed to take everything from him .

Today was supposed to be the happiest day in his life . Now he's holding onto his siblings , crying seemed it would help but the feeling wouldn't go away .

" Its gonna be alright cassie , it's gonna get better . "

He really hoped Gabe was right .

...

He was following the nurses that was leading him to his baby . He didn't even got to see his newborn , it just happened to fast .

The nurse open the door wide to let him pass , his hands were shaking waiting for her directions .

" Here they are , seems like they were waiting for dad to come see them . Congratulations Mr Novak and I'm sorry for you loss ."

stunned he couldn't answer , he had his eyes only for them . he heard the door close he assumed she left to give him privacy . Tears started to build up but of happiness.

" We're gonna be ok , I will do my best because your all I got . I love you so much , Mommy loved you so much but she had to go rest . I think she deserves it , how ironic how she always said there was an angel watching you over . Now you do , . "

Chuckling , as he wipes away his tears trying to compose himself . Letting out a shaky breath he starts speaking again .

" I guess is time to give you a name , bear this in mind when the time comes be thankful I didn't give you a horrendous name . You in the other hand are lucky because Kelly had already picked out one for you . "

Smiling as they both made a noise that seemed they were going along with him on the conversation.

.... ..... .

" I'm so ready to meet my nephew !! , I'm so excited !!! "

" shhh " " shhhhhhh"

"shh " " Shhh " "sHhhh"

It wasn't like Gabriel was screaming , sheesh these people sometimes , ready to respond he stays quiet when he sees his brother motioning his family to come closer .

" Say Hello to Jack and Claire Novak . "

.... ..... ..... ..... ... .....

His kids were his pride and young , he will admit he struggled at first but with the help of his siblings he catched on . They had already turned two , they were growing so fast . Both are so smart and beautiful .

Claire with her beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair that were in pigtails in the moment . She was a troublemaker but love her endlessly. Jack is his small bee , he was tiny and adorable . The kid loves nougat , he blames it on Gabriel. He also had blonde hair but he had golden eyes .

He wants the best for his kids , thats why he was contemplating on Gabriel's plan to move .

Gabe was planning to open another bakery ,

since his last three was successful and was trying expand his work . Father was quite happy with Gabriel , he helped with everything he could do . As usual Gabe took advantage and stacked up on candy , his response was always with

" he won't even notice , he has enough and more . So shut up and help me decided between those two , who am i kidding Im taking both . "

Eileen was going with Gabriel, something about a fresh start . Michael was only going to keep an eye on his siblings , Fathers orders . And his big brother isn't one to disobey , he was gonna get paid for babysitting gabe . His study's are kept on hold until father says so .

Castiel didn't know what to do . He was a highschool dropout , father of fraternal twins , relying with the money of his father and it wasn't like someone is waiting for him here .

Maybe this would do him good and for his kids .

Gabriel went full on screamed of joy that he had accepted, screaming that they were gonna have a blast . Michael was boxing their stuff fully knowing the trickster of his brother wouldn't do it , he turns to look at the youngest giving him a pointed look .

..... ..... ..... ...

Gabriel was full on rambling of why he choose the location . He wanted a challenge and one of the many things he loves to do is

1: Himself

2:Candy

3: Pranks

4: proving Dad wrong

Once the trickster told his father his plans , he told him no . To him is practically a Yes , he wasn't planning getting him self involved , oh well you gotta do what you gotta do .

Michael was pissed but hey he could just for once say no to dad . Eileen and Castiel and his nephew coming along was the best thing of the trip . He might even admit that he's kinda glad dad forced his big bro to come along .

The perks of having a wealthy father is that they had everything solved . Airplane . Check . Ride CHECK. House check . Moving Truck . Check . Schelduing everything on the same date ...........

It wasn't his fault , who would in their right mind would leave him with all that responsibility. They got to their flight , the ride into country , House was there and with their boxes surrounding it . Hey they got Michael might as well put use to his muscles .

..... .... ... ..... ....

" Only you would do this Gabriel , I don't know why I let you drag me into this "

" Look at the bright side , were surrounded with some hot cowboys " Eileen spoke and signed with a mischievous smirk .

" see cassie , even Eileen not complaining , just relax . Take a deep breath and - Ok you grab that box and I will take the heavier one . "

Gabe said as to fool Michael they were helping but as the annoyed glared they were all receiving it was obviously the 3 younger siblings were just resting .

" Your doing well Michael keep up the good work "

They all burst out laughing when the oldest retorted with a angry 'Shut up ! '

" Maybe we should help " She said & signed to both of them .

" yeah , I'm gonna go check on the kids , they might wake up any --- . "

Turning around to see where the noise was coming from , he took in the sight of a sleek black jaguar . Squinting to block the sun , he hears the person above signalling the horse to halt .

" I wasn't informed new people were moving in , Welcome . "

Removing his stetson , he looks at them but his gaze fall onto the bluest eye he had ever seen and the cutest head tilt . Making his Voice huskier and putting on his best smile he asked .

" Dean Winchester .

Need A Hand , Angel ? "

As always Feedback is appreciated and Constructive criticism is encouraged. Flames will keep the plot bunnies warm this winter.

___________________________________________________________

Chapter 4: Confrontation

Two days later Willa was back in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. She’d gotten in the night before late and crashed at Becca and David’s house. This morning she had an appointment with the realtor at 9 and was meeting Tony for lunch at 12. She was ready for this all to be over with. Becca and David were heading to the house when Willa met with Tony for lunch. They were going to pack up as much of her stuff as they could and take it to their house. She’d be crashing there for a few days until she got a new place.

Getting ready for the day, Willa put on a pair of black skinny dress pants, a blue silk blouse and a black leather jacket. She wanted to exude confidence and power. Adding in a silver necklace and black booties she left her hair down and kept her make-up muted with natural colors. She didn’t want to overpower anyone, but she had to let Tony know he wasn’t in charge anymore. The past couple of days she had realized she was allowing him to much power over her. She was tired of crying and feeling horrible. Yes, she was still heartbroken, it had been 5 years together. However she was no longer feeling numb. Now she was feeling absolutely angry and ready to end this shit for good.

Willa’s phone rang and when she looked at it she didn’t recognize the number. Confused she answered it, “Hello?”

“Stay away from him. He doesn’t want you. He is with me now.” a female voice said with malice dripping from her tone.

“I don’t know who you are or how you got this number, but you can have him. Once a cheater always a cheater. Remember that. Also never call me again.” Willa said as she hung up and tossed her phone to the side. She shook her head and resolved to get a new phone and number. She also was going to give Tony a piece of her mind about giving her number to the women he is sleeping with. Of course he’d never have her number again after today. Checking the time Willa headed downstairs and grabbed a cup of coffee as her phone went off again with a series of text messages, all from an unknown number. They all basically said the same thing. Leave him alone. He wasn’t in love with her. He was with her now. He’d never loved her. She treated him better than Willa ever did.

Laughing at the stupid texts she showed them to Becca and David as she sipped her coffee and put a bagel in the toaster. “Who does this stupid bint think she is? I seriously don’t want his nasty cheating ass anymore. If she seriously thinks she can keep him from cheating, she is deluded.”

Grabbing her bagel, Willa slathered it with butter and cream cheese as she pushed all thoughts of Tony’s side piece getting all up in arms over her. She had more important things to think about. Like how she was going to break the news to Becca and David that she wasn’t staying in Ohio after this week. She’d talked to Uncle Bob and he told her to take off some time and come visit for awhile and then move to a different state to start over. He was hoping California, but Willa was leaning more towards New York. She had lived there a decade ago and she’d loved it, but after the incident she’d never gone again.

She missed New York. The great deli three blocks from his apartment. The cafe they would always stop and get coffee from on their way back from a run. Spending the weekend at his mom and step dads place. Willa shook her head. She had to stop thinking of him. It wasn’t doing her any favors right now. It isn’t as if she’d ever get back together with him. That ship sailed years ago, when he walked away with the worst excused she’d ever heard before. He told her he didn’t love her, but Willa knew that wasn’t true. He’d loved her then. Something or more likely someone made him walk away.

“Alright I’m off. See you guys in a few hours. I’ll be a free woman again. Be careful getting stuff out of the house. I don’t want much other than my laptop, clothes, make-up and jewelry. If you can grab the box of stuff in the garage. Becca, you know which one I’m talking about right? Black box, red roses on the lid. Everything else can be left.” Willa said as she pulled herself out of her thoughts and headed to the door and her car. She had 30 minutes to get to the realtors office. Luckily traffic was light today and she arrived with ten minutes to spare.

After a couple hours, Willa was tired and ready to be done. She had explained why she wanted to sell the house to her realtor and they had promised to get the paperwork sorted in the next week or so and give her a call as to when the inspector and appraisers would be by to see the house. Willa smiled, stood and shook their hand as she gathered her purse and headed to her car. She had just enough time to head for the phone store to get her number changed. Hopefully it wouldn’t take too long. She had been getting a constant barrage of text messages and a few voicemails from Tony’s side piece. Willa had ignored them all. Hadn’t even open them. She didn’t want to hear or read the vitriol spewing from this delusional chick’s mouth. She was ready to cut ties and start to move on with her life. It wasn’t going to a quick process, she knew that. It was 5 years that she was moving on from, but damn if she wasn’t going to do it.

45 minutes later Willa walked out with a new phone and a new phone number. She had her old phone in her purse, but turned off. She would transfer all the pics and music over another day. Right now she had to hurry to get to lunch. Getting into her car, she merged smoothly into traffic and headed for the restaurant. Pulling into the parking lot Willa noticed tony standing next to his car waiting for her. He had a confident smile on his face.

Groaning Willa got out of her car, straightened her jacket and walked over to Tony. She didn’t stop next to him, but kept walking towards the door causing Tony to curse lightly and jog to catch up. He wasn’t about to let Willa go willingly. He was confident he could sweet talk his way out of her anger and back into her good graces. He help open the door for Willa as she reached the door.

“Reservation for two under the name Malstrom.” Tony said as he smiled at the hostess. The hostess giggled lightly as she showed them back to their table. Willa just rolled her eyes at the display. She was so over it all. Tony pulled her chair out and pushed it back in as she was sitting down before sitting down himself.

“Hey baby. Thanks for having lunch with me.” Tony started, trying to lay it on so Willa would forgive him. He needed her connections in Hollywood to help get his book published.

“I wanted to do this in public to avoid a huge scene. This is over Tony. Our life together is over. I can’t forget seeing you in bed with another woman.”

“Baby that wasn’t what it looked like.” Tony was starting to feel a little nervous. He couldn’t afford to lose her and her connections. They were the only reason he’d stuck with her for so long.

“Oh? Then what was it like?” Willa asked genuinely curious as to how he was going to spin this.

“Alright, yes I was in bed with her, but she seduced me. It didn’t mean anything. I love you baby. I don’t want to argue. I refuse to allow you to break us up. We are perfect together. Everyone says so. We will get past this. After all we are getting married in two months. Now that this is settled, what do you want for lunch?” Tony said with finality. He wasn’t letting her get away from him.

Willa laughed out loud as she stood up pulling off her engagement ring and setting it on the table between them. “You’re not allowing me? I have news for you, I am breaking this off. We aren’t getting married in two months. The wedding is canceled. You are nothing more than a liar and a manipulator. I can’t believe I was blind to it all these years, but you have always done no wrong. It has always been someone else’s fault. No more. Time for you to man up and accept that you aren’t the victim in this.”

“Stop being so dramatic and sit back down. I’m not letting you go. Not like this. It was one mistake and you want to throw away 5 good years over it. Now put your ring back on and sit down. We are going to have a nice lunch and then we are going home, where I can prove I love you.” Tony said as he narrowed his eyes at Willa and purposefully stared at the chair across from him. This was getting ridiculous. She needed to relearn her place. He was definitely going to teach her once they got home.

“No. I won’t sit back down and have lunch. I am done. Done with you. Done with this situation. Done with all of it. We are done.” Willa said as she started to walk away, but tony grabbed her arm tightly and hissed, “Sit down now and have lunch. We are going to have a talk about this when we get back home and you will listen to me if you know what’s good for you.” Willa looked down at Tony and gulped. She nodded and sat down again. The look in his eyes told her that she would regret not doing as he said right now. She would follow through with lunch and then leave in her own car afterwards. Maybe by playing nice right now, she could deescalate the situation.

After an extremely tense lunch, Willa and Tony were headed for their cars. Tony had his hand wrapped around Willa’s forearm in an extremely tight grip. Willa was sure she’d have bruises by morning. Exiting the restaurant found Willa being pulled in the direction of Tony’s car and away from her own. “Tony, my car is over there. Let me go. I stayed for lunch. Time to go our separate ways.” Willa said as she tried unsuccessfully to extract her arm from his grip.

“No. You’re riding with me. I told you, I wasn’t letting you go. We are going home to talk. Once we sort everything out we can come back and get your car.” Tony said as he drug her to his car and opened door. He practically shoved her in and slammed the door shut. Willa thought about opening the door and making a run for it, but it was a fleeting thought. She knew he’d catch her and it could be worse. Sitting back Willa tried to think about how she could calm Tony down and she could walk away safely.

Tony drove them back home and once there pulled Willa out of the car and forced her into the house. Closing the door behind him, Tony threw off his jacket and started to roll up his sleeves. Willa stared at him waiting for him to speak. She was going to listen to him and then leave as soon as she could. She’d call Becca and David to come pick her up and drive her to get her car.

“Tony, look I know this is a shock and you’re upset, but acting like this isn’t the way. I am not going to stay with a cheater. You don’t get to play the victim. You don’t get to lie you way out of this. I am 1000% done with you and us.” Willa said as she crossed her arms and leveled a glare at Tony. He just turned away from her and curled his hands into fists.

______________________Trigger Warning_____________________

Willa wasn’t paying attention to him and had just closed her eyes, when the first hit landed on her left cheek. The second hit landed on her ribs knocking the wind out of her and doubling her over. The third and fourth hits were both to her face and after the fourth hit, blood started flowing from her nose. The fifth hit was to her ribs again, knocking her to the ground, where he kicked her hard twice. She was gasping for breath as Tony leaned over and grabbed her hair and dragged her to the living room. He sat on the couch and threw Willa on the floor in front of him.

“Now look what you made me do. You have always been so obedient and I’ve never had to punish you like this before, but you had to go and say horrible things about me. I won’t tolerate that kind of behavior from you again. Is that understood?” Tony said as he took in the bruises blooming around her eyes and nose. He knew if he’d lift her shirt there would be bruises to her ribs as well.

Willa nodded quickly and turned her face away from him. She was in survival mode now. She’d never thought he’d be capable of doing something like this. Never had he given any indication that he would ever physically abuse a woman. She was hoping and praying that he’d just leave her alone now and she could leave. Tony smiled and reach out to caress her hair and face as he gripped her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “Now why don’t I go run a bath for you and then we can spend the rest of the day in bed.”

____________________End Trigger Warning____________________

“Y-Y-Yes. Th-That sounds lovely.” Willa stuttered out as she stared into those cold, brown eyes. All she could see in them was rage and hatred. She smiled through her tears and the pain trying to convey to him her submission. Nodding, Tony stood up and left the room. Willa listen as he walked up the stairs and into the bedroom closing the door behind him. He was confident that she wouldn’t leave now.

Willa struggled to her feet and softly walked to the door. She grabbed her purse from the floor and opened the door. She ran outside and down the street. Lucky for her, she was three blocks from a bus stop. Running there she was just in time to catch it. She paid and sat down. Pulling her phone out she scrolled through her phone looking for a number she had never thought to call again. She wasn’t even sure if it still was his number, but it was worth a shot. She pressed the call button and held the phone to her ear. It rang several times before his voice came through, “Hello?”

“Baz.” Willa said as she broke down sobbing on the bus.

Klaus AU

Ok so I have this headcannon that I really want written: In which Klaus gets sober a year after living on the streets. He goes to cosmetology school or is found by a celeb and then becomes a makeup artist and slowly goes up the food chain with his creativity and lovable personality. He paints celebrities faces until he has the money to eventually create a makeup line that becomes a multi million dollar beauty company that is like #1 in the world.

His colors and formulas are revolutionary and he is successful as fuck, but no one really knows the face behind the company. No one even knows it is a male who is running the company. (Think like pre-2000s). Before men wearing makeup was a norm) He is engaged to Modern!Dave( who’s a policeman? Simple farmer boy? Army guy?) and can summon Ben, who is beyond proud of his brother. The three of them live together in a big farm house out of the city with animals running around and a set of baby twins that have curly black hair and green eyes.(Ben gets to name them).

He sends letters to his family all the time throughout the years and tries to keep a connection with them because he loves them even if they are all dicks. Only Vanya (and sometimes Diego and Eudora)responds. The rest believe he is just reaching out for drug money because of that one time he stole some from Luther(because “hey he’s just sitting at the house with no job and it’s really dads money isn’t it?)even though he paid him back.

He builds up a relationship with #7 until the point that he calls Vanya almost everyday, visits her almost weekly and sees all of her shows. With the money for a car, a place for visitors, and a telephone, he convinces her to get out of the city and move closer to him( he may have offered to build a second house on his property). It’s around this time that he notices his sisters pattern of taking her childhood medication and how it affects her confidence. He and Ben notice how sketchy her pills are and immediately they beg her to slowly stop taking them. He is with her to flip out when they realize what their “father” did to her. He teaches her control and helps her learn about herself. (And shows her the beauty of fashion and makeup.) He lets out a collection of makeup called the “Vanya” line.

#3 never talks to him after he leaves and never responds to him when he reaches out. He waits for the day she calls or writes back to him. Meanwhile, it is a well known fact in the celebrity world that Allison Hargreeves loves his makeup line and it’s all that she will wear. Secretly his sister has tried to hire the mystery artist to do her makeup for award shows and when he blows up in popularity, she even talks in interviews about wanting to do photo shoots just for his makeup line. She tries to grab the secret artists attention buuuut.. Klaus promised himself (at Bens prompting) that he wouldn’t let the sister who ignored him until he was more famous than her, take advantage of him even though he feels guilt at basically ignoring her whilst trying to get her attention.

Diego was always Klaus’s favorite silbling(next to Ben of course) and it was the same for Diego. #2 distanced himself for awhile but always picked up the phone for his brother and tried to keep track of him. When he made the connction that Klaus was no longer on the street he was overjoyed but didn’t seek his brother out because he wanted to keep him away from the dangers of being a famous police officer (and secret vigilante). Eudora picks up the phone one day when #4 calls and they secretly become fast bffls. Klaus helps his brothers relationship when he explains Diego’s actions in life and prevents Diego being kicked out of the Police Academy. Eudora and Diego stay together(she doesn’t die). They keep more in touch and Klaus is happy just to hear about his favorite living brother’s life. #2 himself doesn’t really know what’s new in his brothers life because Klaus won’t say anything until he is asked because he is petty like that. (Eudora gets a lot of makeup sent to her and Diego just wonders where it comes from and where to put it.).

Luther is Luther and then he is Luther on the Moon.

Fast foward to March 24, 2019:#4 has conquered his telekinetic and showing Ben off powers. He struts in fashionably late to Reggie’s funeral with his makeup on point, a sexy dress with sharp heels, his hunky fiancé Dave, his twin toddlers, and his confident tiny sister.

Five was gone obviously but, when comes back, he is happy that his brother has his own family and has helped Ben and Vanya.

The rest of the siblings are stunned when they see how put together he and Vanya are. And that Klaus actually has a loving relationship with #7, his husband, and kids. (No Allison bashing buuuuttt..... she is jealous as hell that her brother has a future hubby looks like he worships the ground the Klaus walks on and not one, but two!!!kids that look so well behaved and love Klaus to death.Parenting just looks so natural for him).

Then #4 stops the end of the world with his big heart and queer powers alone.

Most recent update!

Chapter 14

Pidge POV

Shiro takes a deep breath in and says, “When I first saw you, you looked familiar like I saw you before. But, hey, I see a lot of people in my line of work so I didn’t really think anything of it. Not going to lie, with the people you were hanging around with I just figured I’d seen you on some database of criminals. Plus the first time I saw you I was more concerned about Keith’s reaction to you than your per se. So I was pretty slow on the uptake. But between things Keith told me and what I put together on my own, well, seeing you in person in regular light…I think you need to meet our own personal tech genius, or the man in the chair.”

He opens the door and an actual guy in a wheelchair rolls in. I look into eyes that are startling like mine. I can’t think any more, rational thought is beyond me at this point, and I think I’m just staring. This…guy. He. Me. Shit. I think I must make some kind of sound, maybe even words, but I don’t even know what. It’s like I’m in a tunnel. All I can see is this guy and blackness surrounding me. I think I’m losing it but that when that I feel Keith holding tight and grabbing my hand. He pulls me close and whisper, “Katie, babe, stay with me.”

I instinctively hold on. What the hell?! He looks, a lot, like me. Scarily so.

It’s only as I register Keith’s hand that I notice the guys eyes are filled with tears as well. He’s staring at me and the room is deathly quiet. Finally, he whispers, “My God, Pidgey is that really you?”

I don’t answer. I can’t. That name, that voice, make me choke up. He looks like a younger cooler version of what I think is my… dad? Or a older, male, version of … myself. That makes. No sense. Because I’m alone, an orphan. They said I had no relatives. I blink but he’s still there. I must squeeze Keith’s hand even tighter-that he must take that as an indication that I want him to answer for me.

“Yes?” Keith queries for me.

God he’s a man of few words. I let out a huff of breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. Eyes closing I focus on his hand on mine. He’s not going to give any more information that he has to. He really does have my back. I can feel his muscles tense, ready to react to anything. And I know he’d protect me. Without a second thought. I also can see his mom at the ready too. Silent and deadly.

Unfortunately, Keith’s friends are NOT like him.

Lance yelps. “Aye Dios mio!!!! Why do you look like her??? Doesn’t he look like her?! You look like Keith’s girlfriend!! Were you adopted too? What the hell Shiro? EXPLAIN!!!”

Hunk moans, “Lance! Shut up! Um, Shiro, I hope you know what you are doing. Cuz, um Pidge here is an orphan. And um, who is this? What is going on??! I’m starting to get worried. And I’m feeling the need to make a cake. I’m feeling very stressed.”

The man in the chair gasps, “Shit, Shiro. I’m going to kill that mother fucking asshole. You can arrest me when I’m done. I don’t care!” He moves his chair forward, closer to me. OMG. What should I do. I freeze and lean away.

Shiro closes his eyes, “Well before you commit any crimes, ANY of you, how about you explain what you think you know. I think we all need to compare stories first. Okay, everyone, this is MATT, or the Rebel, the police force’s secret weapon. He can hack into anything and is a genius at engineering just about anything folks in the field could need. I met him when we were in high school. He helped me graduate and we both joined up with the police force after a stint in the Garrison. We stayed close and well, um, Matt? Can you continue?”

“Oh, um, yeah, sure. So I was in a really bad accident when I was a kid. So bad that I was told my entire family died…I was the only, sole, survivor. After I got out of the hospital, I went to a home for boys, and eventually they registered me at the local high school. I was a natural at science and computers, and it was there I met Shiro. The Garrison is basically a military type of organization that is let’s say off the books. But I made some great connections and got some needed experience. And eventually when we wanted out it wasn’t a problem. I, I never thought anyone lied to me. Because why? Why hide my family? Why say I was an orphan? I don’t understand how you are here but God dammit, you have got to be my baby sister-Pidge-Katie Holt!”

He rolled his chair even closer, looking deep into her eyes and she could see the unmistakable truth. But it was heart breaking. All she could think of was years, YEARS she missed out. On his life and visa versa. But to what end? She bit her lip and tried to control the tears that were threatening her. Family? Brother? Is it true?

Hesitatingly he reached out for her arm and she just sobbed. “Mattie, really?!?”

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, practically picking her up and onto his lap. And as he held her she felt a little part of her soul regain its hope, love, and trust. This couldn’t be bad, she just got her big brother back! Mattie?>! No this was good, she found her other half, her love and it just hit her, it had to be fate. It was meant to be.

And inadvertently, it was all due to Keith…

Keith’s POV

Keith’s mind is racing. Fuck if this is her brother, then there was a whole conspiracy to have people believe Katie was dead AND for her to think she was the sole survivor! And why?! To what end? That means that asshole being her friend, or whatever he made himself as-savior, boyfriend, fiancé, was not a coincidence nor an accident. They used her. From..the… fucking… beginning. Who does that? To a fucking kid?!

Who kills someone’s parents, their brother… and then replaces them with themselves. A child. They manipulated her and hurt her. That… no… good… dirty… bastard. He feels his hands clench and he wants to find Lotor and his father and teach them a lesson. Slowly. It’s then that his head is smacked and he looks up into his mother’s eyes.

With one head shake, she reorients him back to the present. Shit there will be time for that later. Right now he needs to support Katie. This isn’t about him. It’s about Katie and what she must be feeling. Crap he can’t even imagine.

Refocused on his girl, he waits for her to indicate she needs him or what she needs of him. He doesn’t want to pull her from her brother but at the same time wants to be ready just in case she needs him. And after a few minutes she leans back from Matt and frantically turns, breathing fast and uneven. He makes sure to move into her line of vision. Trying to reassure her, he initiates contact by grabbing her shoulder but she launches herself at him. He quickly adjusts her weight in his arms and pulls her closer. Keeping her close. His girl. His. Everything.

“You’re okay, you’re okay. I got you.” He holds her close and even with all his friends and her brother around, he kisses her. Softly, trying to get her to focus just on him. Once he feels her muscles relax, he adjusts her even closer.

Finally, she slumps against him and he finally looks up straight over to Matt. “Can you fill in some of the details. Because I know Shiro and you didn’t just guess. You both did some intensive research in a very quick turnaround of time. Dude, I know you.”

Shiro nods, “Yeah, we did. Or well Matt did. He was in the hospital when the funerals happened and he just took what they said as truth. His family was gone. But not just in death, Katie was just gone but strangely no body.”

Matt interjects, “After a while, I felt a need to know everything about everything. And the information wasn’t easily accessible which was not a big problem for me. But, oddly, nothing really made sense. So I dug. And I dug. This has been a project since, well, high school.”

Katie finally interjects, “ I didn’t go to the funerals either but I have visited your.. grave. Graves. Shit, have I ever really been where they were buried? Oh my, what the hell? What about-!”

“No! Sorry mom and dad, they are gone. But dad was working on a case, a big one. I remember him being even more absentminded and more distracted. But we were just kids and well back then I didn’t realize.”

Keith figures this was expected but not welcomed. He murmurs, “Hey it’s okay, you got brother, just focus on that! Plus you got me and mine. Your ours now, no question.”

It was then Lance, in all his exuberance, interjects, “Yes, you are ours, nuestra familia!”

Keith looks down at Katie, “You compressed? You are mine. So, what do you need?”

She stares, at him, then looks to Matt, “I…dunno. This is a lot to take in. Keith?”

He holds her, “I know, but we have TWO geniuses here, we can figure something out. Right?”

With a watery smile, she nods. “Ok, yeah, let’s come up with a plan.”

Keith smiles, “A kick ass plan.”

Matt watery grins, “A grand, kick ass, Holt plan. Honestly nothing stands a chance.”

CO 1103: A Duggar Bachelor Pad

The Duggars engage in hurricane relief efforts. Jessa & Ben take their kids to Kansas City. It is Felicity’s first swim lesson. Jed & Jer show off their new place, and Duggar Family Fun night is a competition at a corn maze.

-T

Hurricane Dorian has hit the Bahamas, and many of the Duggars are trained in relief efforts, so they headed to the Bahamas to help where they can. The region was devastated, and the Duggars are organizing and distributing supplies. They helped connect doctors to people in need. Jana and Abbie are there and helping support the efforts. John says no one is ever really safe from natural disasters, and you have to help where you can. Jason says being able to help with aid has been a blessing and he is glad to be able to help others in their time of need.

At Jessa & Ben's, they are preparing to take a road trip to Kansas City. This is their first road trip with 3 kids. It is a three and a half hour drive, and they are hoping the kids will nap. Spurgeon says he usually naps but sometimes he stays awake. Jessa says they have some mom hacks: traveling with snacks, traveling in PJs and getting dressed when they're 15 minutes out. They are looking forward to an apple orchard and maybe the zoo. On the ride, they sing songs like Amazing Grace. Ivy is napping. Spurgeon says he likes looking out the window and singing songs on trips. Michelle always had a plastic tub she called a "survival kit" for long trips. Jinger said on their long trip, they would go for 3 hours and then let Felicity run around and that would tire her out for the next 3 hours. Jessa has wrapped some toys for the boys so they get to open them up and play with them along the trip. Spurgeon liked the wrapped toys, but Henry gets frustrated. Henry and Ivy nap, but Spurgeon doesn't.

Ben and Jessa arrive, and meet up with their friends the Chapmans. Brandon & Jenna Chapman were friends of the Seewalds from Church, and their kids are close in age: Spurgeon is close in age to Isla, Henry to Judah, and Ivy to Zion. They arrive at the orchard, and Jessa and Ben try to figure out whether the apples on the ground are ok. Some of them look ok, but generally Ben thinks the low hanging fruit is there for a reason. Ben and Brandon start trying to get the apples down from the top of the tree. They jump, lift up kids to get them, and climb on the wagon. After collecting a lot of apples, Jenna says they will have to look up apple recipes while the Seewalds are in town. The Seewalds and Chapmans are so happy to be reunited.

In LA, the Vuolos are heading to Felicity's first swim lesson. She is 15 months, and they want her to be comfortable with the water. Jinger says there are a lot of pools in California and she feels safer with Felicity being able to swim. Jeremy asked if she did lessons as a kid, and Jinger says not really, but her younger siblings do all the time. The oldest kids learned to swim, and so did the younger kids, but some in the middle are not as big of swimmers, and that includes Jinger. Jessa says she is also a terrible swimmer, and Joy says she can't really swim. Kendra is a good swimmer, but Joe isn't. Jeremy also learned as a kid, but isn't anything special. Jinger has been getting lessons from a friend who was trained by an instructor. They arrive at the pool, and Jeremy gets in the water with Felicity and Instructor Kenneth. Jinger thought it was a good opportunity for dad and daughter time. They go a few different things to get her comfortable in the water, and eventually do a little dunk. Felicity starts crying, and she is not a fan of dunking in the water. Felicity sees Jinger on the side of the pool and wants to go to her. Jinger goes and hides behind a post. Jinger wishes she could comfort her, but knows it is good to get her comfortable in the water. Jeremy said he has learned more than Felicity, but it was a good start.

Jed and Jer have moved into their own place. The living room just contains a ping pong table since they don't have couches. It has a little kitchen and plan on getting a small table. They share a room with two twin beds. They have their own bathroom and closet for the first time. Jed and Jer say that they aren't the first to move out before marriage: John did for a while to pursue his pilot's license, and Joe went to college but came back. They have an office as well. The twins say it is up to the older kids whether they want to stay or move out, and a lot of them love living with their family. Jed says this is just the next spot for him to go, and his parents are excited for him. The other bedroom has a bunk bed and is a guest room. Joe and Josiah arrive to check out the new place. Josiah brought some patio chairs along for them to sit in. Joe says it is nice, but a small house. Everyone jokes about what you should give as a housewarming gift for a bachelor pad: trash cans, air fresheners, home-cooked meals, restaurant gift cards. Jed and Jer have only been out for a week and a half, and haven't cooked yet. They're making burgers for dinner for their brothers. They preheat the oven for fries. Both twins are not good cooks, and Josiah steps in to help. The twins say their brother's have wives who can teach them how to cook. They miss living with their brothers and mom's cooking. Both the twins are waiting for Mrs. Right, and don't have anyone in mind now. Overall, it was a great night they say.

The Seewalds and Chapmans arrive at the zoo, and Jessa is breastfeeding while walking, something she only does on group activities. They go to a lorikeet exhibit- most Duggars don't know what they are, but Jeremy does- they're little birds, in the parakeet family. The parents thought feeding the birds would be fun. There is a callback to when Jessa & Ben had the brother help build a deck at their place ad a bird pooped on Ben. One bird comes and lands on Ivy's head, and this baby is entirely unbothered by the bird on her head. Henry, Spurgeon, Isla and Judah enjoy feeding the birds. It starts to rain, so they head inside to Stingray bay, where you can touch stingrays. As they pet the stingrays, they realize Henry is gone- apparently he's a bit of a runner. They find him quickly, but while looking at monkeys he goes for a run again and Ben goes after him. After the zoo, it is nap time and it was a great visit to the zoo and fun trip to Kansas City.

Instead of the usual Family Fun Night, the Duggars have family fun day at a corn maze. The family will divide into 6 teams with a timer each, and the fastest team out of their maze wins. John & Abbie have the two of them and Tyler and Josie. They head off into the maze, trying to walk fast and make their way through the maze. Jason's team- Johannah, Anna, and her 5 kids with a stroller. Joe's Team is himself, Kendra and Garrett. Kendra is pretty pregnant, so they don't expect to win. She is 36 weeks and feeling big with some aches and pains, but feeling pretty good overall. John's team is out of the maze in 11:37. Joe took a picture of the maze, and drew a map on his phone to get though it. Jason's team does it in 8:38 with Anna, pregnant, jogging to the finish. Joe & Kendra do it in 10:32. Kendra is contracting after going through the maze. Joy, Austin and Gideon are the next team in. They carry Gideon and just run the maze. Austin thinks that with the pregnant ladies and strollers, that will get them through this. Ben's team is next: with Jessa, their kids and Jordyn. Ben gives them a pep talk before they go in, trying to get them to win. Jessa also took a picture of the map, and she has a route planned. Joe & Jessa have plans, but John and Joy don't- which Kendra thinks fits their personalities. Jeremiah has his parents, Justin, Jackson and Jennifer. Joy's team is struggling to find the route out. Austin says if it wasn't for all the corn, they could see the end. That was his first corn maze, apparently. Joy's team finishes in 15:30. Jim Bob's team finishes in 7:48. Ben's team finishes in 6:25. Ben is proud of their win, and Jessa needs water. Jim Bob says everyone made in through and was a winner. They all clap, and talk about how much they value weekly family night and this was a fun way to do something new.

The Demon Next Door, Chapter 6

Previous / Next

Marco woke to the sound of his alarm clock, initially panicking as he scrambled off the floor only to realize it was the weekend, placing himself on the bed and taking out his phone to text Tom. Maybe he could ask him for advice before the due date was up? Though before he could finish he heard laughter downstairs, laughter that didn't sound like anyone in his family. He shoved the phone into his pocket and forced himself to get up and check it out.

He shut his bedroom door behind him and wiped at his eyes to get the sleep out as he headed down the steps.

And there at the dining table, was not only tom, but tom's parents, eating a breakfast of cinnamon rolls with marco's parents and sister, his mother waving at his arrival. "Ah marco! You're finally up! The Lucitors brought us breakfast to celebrate tom being allowed into your class! Isn't that great! C'mon, come join us!". One look at tom's face was enough to tell marco this was as sudden for him as it was for marco, most likely brought about him that very morning.

Marco awkwardly headed over and filled up his plate, taking a seat as the parents seemed well to actually be getting alone better then he thought?

When his parents first met star's...it took a little time for them to get used to them, here...well thankfully it seemed tom's parents were a little more...normal. Though Tom's mother wasn't speaking, his father seemed to do better well on speaking for the two of them and upon seeing the couple holding hands he got a pretty good idea why they instantly connected. Nothing like being the most overally affectionate parents ever to bond over, hopefully tom's parents were a little less affectionate then his own.

Ms Lucitor happily waved to Marco who waved back awkwardly, taking a bite of his breakfest as their parents droned on, he tapped marco on the shoulder and pointed to his phone. "I've been looking up some of the moves you guys learn in karate to help me practice, I mean...like...I kinda don't want to make a fool of myself...if possible.". Marco looked down to see videos on queue of some old guys showing tutorials on karate moves and smiled, "You're getting really into this huh?".

"I need a hobby...otherwise i never know what to do with myself.".

"Hey, same thing, I was just really into kung fu movies when i was little so i decided i wanted to learn how to do martial arts. Plus my parents thought it would help me make a lot of new friends, though yeah i didn't have a lot of friends before star, but hey...it'll be good to have a friend in my class. Especially a friend who can take Jeremy down.". Tom elbowed him, "Yeah he's left you mainly alone since the day I showed up and exposed him huh?".

"The only reason sensei doesn't just kick him out is because he's rich, we need him to keep the place going..".

"Really?".

"Really, I guess the place just doesn't do too well...it's not exactly popular.", Tom suddenly looked to the table, a look or worry on his face. "Uh...if that's the case then you don't think...with what i did, I put the dojo in danger now do you?". Marco quickly patted his shoulder, "What? No no no, turns out, jeremy kinda is happy to stay if you're joining, i guess to get revenge on you for exposing him, who knows, maybe you could give this place more life and attention.".

"Really? You think so? I just think if I may of ruined your hobbies i'd feel well...bad...like at the time i was just trying to teach that kid a lesson for messing with you.", he scratched at his neck, his green eyes diverting from marco, "Like i'm still new here, if jeremy really keeps the place alive...then what's to say I improve anything? I might just make things worse, especially if i can't resist teaching him a lesson every time he messes with you in front of everyone...like your crush is coming and...".

"Tom, no, c'mon...I want you there, I mean with you taking down the rich kid, just imagine the attention that could bring. I've never been able to stop him so I can't do much, but people are already talking about the fact you called him out and got him exposed. No one's ever been able to really do it before...especially not to some rich kid like him.", the boy's face shifted, a smile creeping across it, "So...you think having me there against jeremy would actually help?".

"Kid's have been trying to take his snobby butt down for years, i think it's a good start to see someone finally get the drop on him and give the place more attention. Besides, it was really awesome seeing you expose him and do that for me...".

"You really mean it?".

"Yeah, i love star, but she's never stood up for me like that, i think it's cool you're willing to stand up for someone you haven't know for all that long. I don't know if i'd have the same courage as you there, half the time i was worried the dojo would kick me out...I mean like dude, how are you so good with this kinda stuff?". The taller boy simply blinked at marco, his mind warped into confusion, as if he had no idea what marco was talking about at all.

"I mean, you talk to your crushes well, you can take down bullies, you're easy to really talk to and get along with...I mean, you're...way cooler then me.", Marco's voice got soft and Tom grabbed marco's hand, motioning for them to talk in the kitchen alone. They quickly slipped out of the view of their parents and Marco felt the counter behind his back as Tom stood in front of him, hands on his shoulders, "Marco...Am I...do you feel like...i'm better then you?".

"Well...".

"Marco...look i'm...i'm not that cool dude, like...i'm not...ok...like I wasn't...always like this. I-I used to blow up at people dude...I...people didn't even want to be around me, I got jealous and I lashed out at people and...dude you're so easy to get along with and to make friends with, you don't lash out at people and make them hate you...marco i...I wasn't like this before. You...you're so good at karate and people don't look at you like you're weird...and you have friends and marco...you're way cooler then me...".

"Really?".

"Yeah, I wasn't lying about anything I said yesterday in the cafeteria to jackie about you being fun and charming and talented, marco, c'mon...honestly...look, you...don't wanna be like me...be yourself...I'd rather you were yourself.", Marco thought for a second briefly and nodded. "I'm sorry, Maybe everything going on has just made me feel like...i'm doing something wrong, I wanna be able to talk to jackie just like you did, I wanna feel more...confident...".

"Marco, you just have to ask, it's ok...I can help you...".

"Really?".

"Yeah, of course...you teach me karate, I'll teach you how to not be so awkward, sound good?".

"Think you can start now considering your parents are here?", Marco was half joking but after that nice visit the last thing he wanted to do was embarrass himself in front of them, and his parents were already making that hard by just being in the same room.". Tom smirked, "I'm not a professional by the way, I...uh...I kinda sorta do embarrassing stuff sometimes...it's um...well the best way to start is to not think too hard about the person you're talking to...or even picture them as someone else...".

"But what if I did that and said something stupid to someone I thought of as someone else?!".

"Well uh...hmm...I don't mean to THAT extent..."

Marco sighed, "I'm sorry Tom, look, i'm kinda used to not really being that great with people most of the time...", but Tom seemed more then sympathetic to marco's cause. "Hey it's...a learning process, you don't have to start off good at it right? You get better over time...and then you'll be just fine.". The boy nodded, "Yeah, yeah, you're right...though...just try and help me embarrass myself at least a little less if you can...ok? I don't wanna end up talking to your parents like i want to with jackie...".

"Uh yeah, let's skip out on that part...", Tom snickered, "Don't worry marco, we're both unsocial weirdos...probably why we're cool friends.". Marco smiled along with him, "Alright alright, enough teasing, our parents are probably wondering where we went...and i'm still hungry.". Tom agreed, "I dunno, it's kinda nice to not have my parents go on about my baby antics for hours...but i'm probably way too hungry anyway so..yeah, let's go before the rolls are all gone.".

Breakfast was quickly scarfed down and the adults moved into the living room, and marco was relieved to see they were getting along just fine.

No tension, thank god.

In fact tom's parents seemed oddly comfortable with the place...for the most part, Tom's mother was smiling but considering she apparently did not speak english, it was obvious she was upset not being able to talk to them and instead having to talk through dave. Though he seemed to notice that himself, holding her hand and trying to comfort her and reassure her. They seemed sweet together, and even Tom seemed to agree instead of feeling some embarrassment for his lovey parents.

That was what marco wanted, someone to comfort him like that and have his back, and made him feel heard and comfortable.

Looking at them in the kitchen as they laughed and talked in the living room, as mariposa chewed on her stuffed rabbit.

He must've been spacing out cause Tom tapped his shoulder and almost spooked him, marco getting into a karate pose in defense and making Tom laugh as he backed off. "Whoa whoa...sorry marco, didn't mean to kinda spook you...", marco sighed and caught his breath, "S-sorry, force of habit...". Tom looked between him and his parents, "You know...they had a hard time getting together, it's a miracle that I'm even here today when you really think about it...".

"Really?".

"Yeah, dad's parents were uncomfortable with her family, and dad basically abandoned them to be with her...learned to speak her language adapted to her culture. I mean i've had some people ask me if i thought that was a good idea but well...i wouldn't be here otherwise. I think he's much happier this way then he would've been otherwise...all because he did everything in his power to be with someone he really cared about. I hope my relationship is like that...".

"You seem to really love your parents despite the embarrassing stuff...", marco noted, tom shrugging. "I mean, they're embarrassing sometimes but they've been pretty supportive of me and everything and well...mom's good to talk to when i need to talk about things i can't with others...". He seemed to be thinking about something, perhaps his last relationship he had told marco about before? But Tom shook it off, nodding to upstairs, "Wanna...teach me some moves to prepare for our first class together? I'd like to go in with some knowledge if possible.".

"Oh, ok, probably a good idea...", Tom quickly headed up as marco followed after.

Tom excitement was admirable, heading inside marco's guest room where his family normally had exchange students stay whenever they hosted one. The place was empty enough that it was perfect for practice for the time being, tom taking off his boots and chilling on the bed. "So tom, how much have you picked up on in terms of watching me?", marco closed the door behind them as tom shrugged, wiggling his toes in his socks, "A little...seems like mostly kicking and robotic arm stuff kinda..".

"Robotic arm stuff?".

"Yeah like you move it like a robot does!", to demonstrate, tom put his arm in an L shape and pretended to do a chop. "Funny, but no...karate is not like a goofy imitation of a robot, it's a form of self defense and shows your strength and power and-". Marco showed off a few moves as tom stared at him blankly, "Well I guess we got a lot to go through since you're still pretty new to it, maybe we could start with your stance maybe? Your arm was all wrong there...".

"It was?"".

"Yes, of course it was! C'mon...let me show you how it's done..".

Tom got up and he quickly felt marco adjust his body behind him, grasping his arm and his waist gently before adjusting him to be in the right pose. Tom felt himself stiffened at marco's touch, especially as marco held his hand and fixed it to where he wanted it. "See, we're trying to get it like that...you're going to wanna hold that pose and...tom?", Marco quickly noticed tom wasn't entirely looking at him as he tapped his shoulder, "Hey C'mon, i thought you wanted to know how-".

"Yeah yeah...uh...sorry..", tom seemed red-faced in embarrassment as he got a hold of himself to listen to marco's instructions.

His eyes focused highly on marco's face, who went on and on about instructions that tom was only halfway paying attention to. To be fair, tom could've done way worse on his first attempt at a chop, at least according to marco, who seemed more then surprised at tom's strength when he asked tom to chop at him and marco blocked it. He thought tom's father seemed strong but yeesh, tom had a lot more power to him then the skinny boy he seemed to be.

At one point marco even fell to the floor from one of tom's hits on him, catching marco highly off guard compared to tom's other failed kicks and hits. Tom almost immediately worrying and rushing to marco's side to make sure he wasn't injured. But Marco not only was fine, but seemed actually impressed, tom was a fast learner it seemed. He was quick to get an understanding of the moves he was trying to learn and the stances he was going for...for the most part.

Tom also seemed to get a little...distracted, if only because tom was too busy looking at marco to focus on his own actions.

Marco had to snicker, tom was kinda a goofball.

Well, he did seem to get a little grumpy every time he screwed up but he shook it off and tried to almost make a joke out of it if he could, laughing it off as best he could.

God, tom was more of a dork then he was.

Tom took a break on the free bed soon after, catching his breath as marco approached, crossing his arms like a stern parent. "Jeez tom, you're like that one kid in class who who acts like they're gonna fail and then gets straight A's, though some of your posture could still use some work...". Tom snorted into the sheets, "It wasn't easy marco, trust me, it only worked out so well because you're such a great teacher and helped me have some idea about what i'm doing...".

"Really?".

"Yeah, duh!".

"Thanks tom...keep this up and you'll be a green belt like me in no time!", the taller boy smiled and gave marco a quick hug, "Thanks marco. i'll keep practicing this, I promise, just work on how to talk with jackie...maybe with a mirror is a good start...or you could even test it on me sometime if you want.". That was an good idea actually, if he tested it on tom it'd probably be 10x less awkward then if he were saying it to jackie herself for the first time.

"Yeah, thanks..".

"Thomas!", Dave suddenly headed up the stairs, catching tom off guard a little, and he looked...anxious?

"Dad? Is uh...everything ok down there?".

"The casserole is burning.", his eyes wandered downstairs and back to Tom, panicking but incredibly serious, he seemed as if he was incredibly used to dealing with bad situations. Marco however, seemed confused, it was breakfast time, why would they have ever made casserole? Not even here, at their own home? But Tom seemed to know exactly what his father was talking about, nodding and more serious then he was just a minute ago, "Sorry, marco, we gotta get going...i'll text you soon! Then we can prepare for our kinda date!".

He quickly started heading out and making sure he didn't leave anything behind as his father ran downstairs and marco called after him.

"Tom!"

'Huh?", tom stopped in his tracks, though his eyes told marco he needed to make it quick.

"Can...i come over again...sometime...to practice?".

a grin appeared on the boy's face, "Yeah, i'll see you then...bye marco!".

And quickly after tom and his family had left the building and to their own house across the street, marco heading down the stairs to find his confused parents scratching their heads at their guests's sudden leave. "Marco...did tom tell you why they were leaving, Mr Lucitor said something about a casserole? And we were just in the middle of talking about my new art too!". Marco shrugged at his dad, picking up his baby sister from the floor and taking out his phone, "You'll have to ask him next time...".

Meanwhile across the street Mr Lucitor was looking at his son who had been staring at the Diaz's house since they arrived.

"So what's this about a "Date with marco?".

leaving Tom to stiffen, before his face turned bright red, "Just a double date with star and marco's crush jackie...we hope...". The man looking over his face, smiling, "Alright, oh and...marco...his family's nice...you found yourself a pretty great friend it seems...".

Tom's eyes turned back to look at the diaz house and ponder, "Yeah...I did didn't i?".

"STAR!", marco was quickly tackled by the blonde's hug as he was shoved onto the ground. Star seemed to be feeling a whole lot better, which was a good thing, especially now. Marco needed some pep in his step if he was going to get through his first real kinda date with jackie, maybe double date. Though tonight was a bit of a homework session with star, and hopefully she would do her own work this time and not copy off his homework sheet.

"So? Tell me!".

"Tell you what?", marco pushed her off as he got to his feet, fixing his outfit.

"What did jackie say about you? You never told me!".

"Oh...", now that he thought about it, he never really did tell Star how the Jackie thing went, he kinda got distracted by her mood at the time and never got back to her on what had happened. "Well tom talked to her and well...I think he really got her kinda sorta interested...maybe?". He simply shrugged, blushing and laughing, "It's a lot better then the plans i came up with. i'll be honest...I'm not sure i could've done it without his help actually.".

"OOOOOOOOO MARCO YOU BABE MAGNET!", Star said, as she squeezed his face in excitement, "I KNEW SHE LIKED YOU! Aw heck yeah, this is going to be AWESOME! You and Jackie are finally going to hang out, you're gonna show her how hot you are, it's gonna be awesome~". She was practically bouncing around the room in excitement, same ole star. Honestly she had been getting so impatient with Marco's lack of progress with the girl this was like Christmas to her.

If Tom hadn't helped, Marco was sure Star would stomp over to Jackie and ask her out for him herself.

"Yeah and Tom will be there to help and make sure things go smoothly...hopefully...",Marco brushed himself off and fixed his hair, "I mean, she doesn't know i like her like that...but i can tell her later...when y'know...she and i are...getting sorta closer maybe...maybe...". But Star was too busy fantasizing and snapped out of it quickly as something came to mind, "Oh! Maybe you could ask to get food with her later, or a movie maybe? Movies are always fun!".

"Maybe...and tom could-".

Star stopped, "Wait Tom? Why do you want him there?".

"Well, Tom could surprise me, maybe sure i don't fail the date?".

Star looked baffled.

"Marco Diaz, you didn't go through all that hassle to be babysitted on your dates for the rest of your life did you?", Star looked mad and Marco didn't really know how to respond, yeah he didn't want to be babysitted, but it felt...comforting, having tom there to look over him and keep him in check so he didn't screw up. Without him there it was just going to be him and Jackie and what if he screwed up in front of jackie? What if she left him in the middle of the date? Alone?

Was it really that weird that Tom seemed like a comforting person to reassure him and make him feel less nervous around his crush?

"Well...star, it's just...".

"No protests Marco Diaz, you gotta march up and ask her out on a date, alone, just the two of you, no tom's creeping around...", she crossed her arms before wagging her finger playfully at Marco, in all fairness, it wasn't like star to really understand, she rarely felt that anxious talking to anyone. The only person she got nervous around was her parents and that was widely different then how Marco felt trying to talk to Jackie and trying to impress her.

It gave him butterflies.

"We'll see how the karate thing goes...you...excited? You rarely come to my lessons...", star giggled, "Well of course i'm excited! I'm gonna see you finally ask Jackie out on a proper date! Most of your lessons kinda go the same but THIS time, oh it's gonna get spicy!".Well, at least Star was excited, hopefully things actually went well and Jeremy didn't decide he wanted to make things any worse or anything, which was a viable option right now.

"Well, we'll see...oh! How have things been at home recently? Your mom off your case yet?", Star froze, stopping in her tracks before coughing into her fist, "Oh uh...yeah kinda sorta...whatever, she's not mad anymore about you helping me cheat...she's mad about...other things right now. She's also been trying to keep dad from doing anything crazy, which is a good thing because he is...". She swayed her arms widely around her face to describe him.

She was pretty accurate on that.

"Work stuff?".

"Something like that...", she drawled off, "But don't worry! She's probably got it...probably...".

"You've never really told me where your mom works, is she like a business woman or something?", Marco plopped onto the couch and rested his feet as star took a seat next to him, "Eh...yeah, something like that...sure...". Star didn't really have the best poker face out there, sometimes she was able to hide stuff, other times her lies were so blatant marco was annoyed beyond belief. You'd think Star could be super honest with her best friend but she had her secrets to keep still.

It was just weird because sometimes they were simple questions.

Was her mom apart of an illegal gang or something?

Actually did marco even want to know?

"Why is she so uptight with you anyway? I mean i know you're a troublemaker...but you always talk about it to me like she gives you little to no freedom at all...i'm surprised she didn't make you sign up for clubs or give you a earlier curfew if she's like that. Some really strict parents keep you for doing anything, but she seems nice enough to kinda let you do almost whatever you want. At least, from what i can tell...i mean, you get to hang out with me.".

"She's...well...she's just uptight...but not THAT uptight...it's...hard to explain actually.", she played with the bottom of her dress, "I wish i had your parents...they're always so friendly and open and don't make you do private lessons and all that junk. Plus you get to go almost anywhere you want and ughh...it's just not fair marco. I really get tired of her sometimes, she complains about everything, and tells me to do this and that and...ugh i'd rather live with you!".

"Honestly Star, maybe it does you well to have rules...keeps you grounded, otherwise you might be getting yourself into things even i can't stop you from doing.", He seemed amused but Star less so, even he had to complain about his parents sometimes...but he couldn't deny the fact to some degree he kinda appreciated them. As long as star's mom wasn't locking her away and keeping her from doing anything she wanted, star was probably exaggerating.

He'd met Moon Butterfly after all, she was strict indeed, but pleasant.

"Ugh...you don't get it Marco!"., she groaned so loud in annoyance she might as well wake up the whole neighborhood.

"C'mon Star, it's ok, things'll work out...who knows, maybe you and your mom will come to an understanding soon...", Star didn't seem so sure but it was Star after all, Marco patted her shoulder as he stood up, motioning upstairs, "Let's get started studying, maybe we can play some video games after if you want...ok?". This livened star up a bit, but only for the later and not the former, the girl racing up the stairs before Marco even could reach them.

The study session actually mostly seemed to go alright when marco could get star to stay still at least.

Though Star did seem to glance at Marco whenever he stopped to text Tom, which seemed to happen literally every minute, making star surprisingly the less distracted studier for once. She'd never seen Marco like this before, so distracted and so..happy about it? Marco was laughing and smirking and talking to himself as he sent Tom stuff and Star rolled her eyes. "Gee Marco, are you sure tom isn't the one you have a major crush on instead of Jackie?", she was joking of course but Marco suddenly got flustered, shoving his phone into his pocket.

"W-what?".

"You kinda look...well...".

Marco suddenly became more flustered, "What? NO! We're just talking, he sent me some funny stuff...". He pulled out his phone again, avoiding star's gaze as she went back to kinda reading, she huffed but didn't press the boy any further.

Game night was always a blast, though Marco seemed to beat star at almost every game that she couldn't make up rules for. Though during the event he kinda wished tom was with them, and he had a feeling star knew he was thinking that as well. To Marco though, asking tom to come over when Star was over was like telling star he didn't think she was as fun to be around alone anymore and he needed someone else to spice their hangs out up these days.

And he didn't want star thinking that.

Though as he won another match, Star groaned into the carpet, laying on her front with her controller lazily in her hands.

She was clearly sick of being beaten at this point, and marco was sure she'd probably drop out to watch movies instead at this rate.

"Ugh, marcooooo...stop being so good!", But marco simply laughed it off, "C'mon Star, i'm not good, you're just out of practice...outta spend more time working on your gaming skills, when you're not studying of course.". Star looked up, her face squished against the floor like a sad puppy, "I bet you couldn't beat Tom...". Her face was moody still, and that was probably meant to snap back at how much she was tired of losing against marco but it put marco off guard.

Tom? Was she thinking about tom? Marco had been thinking about him as soon as he left through their door earlier that day, he hadn't expected star to be thinking about him as well. Well, he did assume she might possibly like the boy didn't he? Of course in that case she'd be thinking about him.

So why was he shocked?

She sent him a challenging glare and Marco simply raised a bushy eyebrow and tried to ignore her face, "Tom? Well, I mean, he tells me he's great with games but i highly doubt it...".

"Well if you're so good then, invite him over and show me!".

Star...wanting TOM over?

Was star still broken?

"Wait...right now?'.

"Yeah tough guy, invite him right now, we'll see whose the best then!", Star must've been desperate to beat marco out if she was inviting tom over, the guy she supossibly hated. Then again, marco rationalized, if she liked him of course she'd ant him around. So it wasn't that weird right? And Marco had wanted tom to come back over to since he had been thinking about him ever since he left right? Star eyed marco up and down, "C'mon, invite him over, otherwise you'll text him the entire time instead and at least with him here you might focus more.".

Marco awkwardly took out his phone one more, sending Tom a text as Star smirked at him mischievously. Of course he could beat Tom at video games, was she crazy? Tom played a fair few of games but he never seemed to be an expert or anything.

At least, as far as Marco could tell.

And before Marco could even bat an eye, Tom had entered the room, only a few minutes after sending out the text. He looked thrilled in fact, though he had clearly ran over and through marco's door without so much as knocking. Though granted at this point, he might as well enter whenever he wanted, janna and star already did that. Even for once Star kinda seemed excited to have him there, even if it was just for petty reasons like wanting to watch him fight marco.

"I hear you wanted me to game?"

"How...what...?".

"Don't worry, my mom thought your family was so cool, they said it was ok if i stayed for dinner, so what we playing?"

"Super Speedster 3, Star's a bit of a sore loser...", He was teasing of course, but it was true. Though despite Star's pouts and eye rolling, she seemed to be more then happy to see marco go against Tom, Tom himself taking her controller. "Sweet, i love racing games...I never really had a lot of people to race against though so i was always racing against the computer...so this'll be kinda nice...but...don't expect me to go easy on you diaz...because i won't.".

"Oh, you're the one who should be worried...lucitor.".

These two were birds of the same feather, just a bunch of nerds.

Marco couldn't hide how happy he was to see tom again, as if they had been apart for years instead of hours, and tom seemed quite similar. His focus more on marco then star and teasing him as he took up the controller and jabbed on about anything, marco following. Most of it was about tips to help the other, but some of it was goofy jokes and what else they could come up with. The two playing the game and star watching right next to them as they laughed together.

Though Star found herself paying more attention to them in the game despite her wanting to watch Tom defeat Marco, which...was exactly what was happening with Tom being in the lead with marco close behind. Marco was quickly getting mad about meeting his match, but Tom seemed to find it funny, teasing and butting marco with his elbow. Marco and Tom seemed to get along really well, they seemed genuinely comfortable around each other naturally and Star couldn't help but feel...happy.

Marco was rarely this happy, even if he was pretty mad right now at having his butt handed to him.

Though Marco wasn't paying too much attention to Star right now as Tom finished before him, effectively beating his long streak of wins after so long. Tom laughing, then Star laughing, and Marco, despite all his frustration, seeing his two friends...getting along well. Star wasn't being weird to Tom, and Tom was actually comfortable around her, granted, it was because they were both laughing at Marco, but marco couldn't help but choke out a laugh too.

"Fine fine...he beat me...guess there is someone out there who can beat the master...", Tom bumped him playfully, egging him on, "C'mon...let's do another round...maybe we can swap with star every game so we all get to play? Don't wanna leave anyone out right?". Tom was way too nice considering how Star had been to him before this point, but Star took him up on his proposition, marco watching as they faced off, then he and star again, then back to him and tom.

Star booing at the screen when marco passed tom, playfully of course.

Tom cheering on marco when he got past star.

And Star looking between the boys as they teased each other over and over.

It was almost like...normal, as if there never had been any weird conflict at all.

They had subs that night, munching them down together, laughing and smiling. Tom and Star actually kinda talking to each other, nicely, about school and other things. Marco felt so much relief that he never knew he needed so badly. His best friends...were now becoming friends for real, they were talking and smiling and laughing. When he thought about it, while looking at them, they looked like a pretty good couple. Maybe the sorta date with jackie might work out better then he thought.

Maybe if tom could work with star, he really could work with jackie.

Maybe.

Though as star and tom parted from his house that night, he felt a little sad, tom promising to come over tomorrow as well.

And marco watched him go inside his home, till tomorrow.

And the thought of that alone provided him nice dreams.

jambud week: Alone/together prompt

Alone/ Together

"And that's how I got the red and black."

"Oh my god!"

It was a beautiful setting; Sunset in a field of sunflowers under a large tree casting shade over the two dream jam buds. Connie was sitting up, back to the tree with Steven laying his head across her lap, telling her about his travels. Particularly, how he got his new red and black star shirt; it involves a goat, a flame, and a game of extreme hopscotch with an old man. The story had Connie in hysterics, doubling over in laughter. Just low enough for Steven to..

" Chu!"

"Ey, Bisky!"

Steal Connie lips for a second, making her blush before, pushing her hair behind her ear and giving him a bit longer one that his thieving move. When they broke apart Connie rested her head upon his.

"Is it foolish to still not believe this is real? To be with you here, like this."

"After 10 months. Maybe...Heh, but take into account everything that happened before...Can't really blame you, Dream Berry."

Connie couldn't stop the giggle that erupted from her from the new name. ten months,they have been meeting and seeing each other like this for ten months..and it's been wondrous. Meeting in their own personal dream once or twice a month. Trading stories with each other.

Connie told stories of her college studies in STEM and archeological studies, as well as her internship at a technological lab in Empire, and her part in creating a R&D in Little Homeworld. In her own words; She was doing her part to connect human and gemkind.

Steven told stories of his travels. The misadventures he had. The people he met, the people he helped, the people who helped him and the lessons he learned. The most important one was accepting and embracing all of himself; the good, the bad, the surface, and the hidden.

Steven found her stories to be amazing. The things she were learning were completely over his head, but still it made her eyes glow with such vigor when she spoke about the robotics exhibition she went to, and her intro to physics class. He mentally decided to study it up himself, just a bit. If she really was gonna use technology to bring Humans and Gems closer, the least he could do was understand a bit of it.

Actually tonight He also found himself surprised though when she spoke of her archeological studies. Her professor seemed to be someone who was big the mysteries of the world. Myths, legends...Conspiracies. In one particular tale her professor brought some items from their personal collections. They happened to be discarded gem weapons, and one inactive but intact gem artifact, that he was going to officially reveal at a museum event.

Connie held her head in embarrassment, as Steven laughed as she told the story of getting the gems to run a heists to steal her teachers prize possession and switch it with a fake. It seemed like it was a disastrous..but hilarious night.

"I missed a caper! A heist..You guys, even went undercover as staff"

"We almost got arrested."

"But you got away with it! Dream Berry! You lead a gem mission, cleared your objective and no one got hurt."

"Physically...the museum director's reputation took a hit...Still thank god, for that rat like gem mutant..Gave us a perfect chance to make the switch through all the commotion."

As for Connie, she was enthralled with Steven's tales of his world wide search for humanity, as he called it. So much more exciting and wondrous than her day to day. He's been to all types of locales; the Amazon, Stonehenge, the Great wall, Victoria fall, The castle of nobunaga. He went to Sri lanka, Maharagama to be exact and stayed with one of her Uṟaviṉar (cousins) for a few days.

That particular story had her flushed and embarrassed, since it was one of her cousins who treated her like a niece; turns out Connie's one of the babies of the family.

Still his most telling stories were his visits to his mother's palanquin; he had visited a few times actually… The first time he went was out of blind rage..He left as soon as he came..The second time was just out of drunken coincidence. He told her about how he lashed out over her memory. Screaming how he hated everything she did and how cruel and untrusting and selfish she was, to not take any responsibility and to leave it all to him. He doesn't remember when he left but the next time he visited, there was a two feet crater nearby..

That time...He was tired and feeling a bit sick after getting out of a fight with a gem mutant. He didn't have the energy to do anything but step in the device and sleep. He did it for five days.

During that time he got to experience it...His mother life as Rose quartz….All her choices, all the guilt, all the hollow victories..All the self- detrimentally and hate. For all the gems that were corrupted, for all the humans who got caught in crossfire, for her actions and inactions towards Bismuth and Spinel.

He experienced her failures. Failure in trying to cure corruption. Failure In trying to understand and imitate human nature. Failure in trying to release and apologize to Bismuth. Failure in trying to reactivate the galaxy warp to get Spinel. Failure to heal the earth. Multiple failures on all ends. Enough to make Rose self-dissipate and him to wake up.

From that point on, he would always sleep in it when he was in Korea. Every time he got new information. He discovered that she actually spent a good decade playing as a human named 'Diamond' after her self poofing. Blending in with them and going on her own journey of self-discovery. Falling in love with the earth and its inhabitants more, keeping them safe from the shadows from her own (while purposely allowing herself to be cracked), while invading her Crystal Gems.

He also experienced two very important meetings in Rose's life. Her first meeting with Lion....She was there for his birth. A few years later she would meet, heal, and forge a strong friendship with an orphaned teenage girl.

For two years they would be inseparable, almost family and learned from each. Rose would teach her how to fight, how to care and outsmart people, and to take care of herself.

The young girl; Sheva, would teach Rose how to face her failures, to deal with the results of an irreversible situation, and how to live for those who can't. Two years in Sheva found love from a man, that Rose approved of...As for Rose, she would be missing her own family; their separation was tearfully, but happy..

This would not be the last time they would meet, though. His mother would find that Sheva had lived a fulfilling life, gave birth to three kids and still loving her husband from the Maheswaran family, He unfortunately got to see Sheva pass as well and his mother second self-dissipation, the only way she could keep herself to resurrect her friend.

From there the visions became pretty standard to what heard from the gems and dad. Her victories, gentle and flighty behavior, her overflowing love for all, completely earnest and true...except for herself. She still hated herself. He saw what she didn't show. The times in her room. where she shattered her image over and over and over, using the full, horrifying destructive power she held inside.

For the corrupted. For the war. For the earth. For humanity. For The Crystal Gems. For Homeworld. For the Diamonds. For Bismuth. For Spinel. For Sheva. For both Pearls. For Garnet. For Amethyst. For Greg.

For being unable to save them. To heal them. To be like them. To convince them. To apologize to and live up to her expectations. To get her from the garden and be the friend she deserved. To forgive herself for not bringing her back. For hurting one and silencing the other. For lying to them. For being unworthy of him. She did it because she loved them, all of them.

Never did she strike for herself though. No for her, destruction was her penance to them all. Which is why she smiled when she dissipated for the third time.

"I was in Korea two weeks ago...I don't think I'd be going back to mom's palanquin anymore "

Connie looked surprised at the sad yet serene tone of his voice. She nodded, as she began to stroke his scalp, running her fingers through his locks. "You wanna tell it, Dreamscuit?"

"It's..Heavy."

"Everyone of these stories has been heavy..I can take it...Though I don't want to force you to.."

He kissed her to stop that thought. "I'll tell, but can we get into the right position first?"

Connie gave him a smil before letting him sit up and allowing her to stand up, wiping the hem of her night gown as she did. He moves to the tree and sits straight up crossed legged arms open. Connie gently sits in between his thighs as he envelopes her in his loving, Steven-y hold.

" Ok So…"

The last vision he got..Was short but probably the most important..His birth. He was told that he was born in a hardlight Rose that bloomed and broke away leaving him with her gem and that took about five minutes total. The Vision was everything that happened within that rose.

His mother was tired, teary, but for the first time was generally happy as she spoke.

" My boy..My son, my extraordinary Steven. You're so human...You're so much more than I ever was. I love you..I adore you so much..Not even a minute year old and you did the impossible.."

She shifted from Rose to Diamond before continuing with a tender weak kiss to his crown

" Your mother is a horrible failure...I hurt a lot of people Steven, whether it was indirectly or directly, For a good cause or my own greed, It happened and I never was able to correct my wrongdoings..I tried so hard but failed in the end.. I failed at being a diamond, a leader, a rebel, family, a friend, a mentor, a lover, a human, a gem, and in the end, I hated myself. Thought myself, a worthless shard.."

She let a strained laugh out as she shifted from Diamond to Pink.

"Until now. This moment. Until you. You're proof that gems are capable of change. Of being more than what they were programmed. You...You are the proof of that, someone so beautiful and brilliant being born from a janked clod like me, that's proof enough. "

She shifted again back to Rose. She broke down again as she heard for the first and only time her sons laugh.

"I love you so much, you're gonna be amazing and I'm so sorry that I won't ever get to be here for it...But it's alright..I actually don't deserve such a gift.. Seeing..you..Your curly hair, bright brown eyes, button nose, happy bubbly laughter. It makes everything worth it, even if it's at the end of my life.

You've changed my life and the only thing I can leave for you is a magic pink diamond untarnished by me..and my defects, yours and yours alone. I'm sorry your mother can't give you anything better."

She shifted again to Diamond.

"I'm selfish still, shapeshifting just to spend more time with you. I'm sure a good mother would've already given their form and lives up. Of course, I have to want to have you and live.. See you grow and blow the universe away..Find a good partner to spend your life with..preferably someone like your father or Sheva. A nice, smart, strong Maheswaran person would be perfect for you…"

She painfully shifted to Pink

Still whomever you bring into your life...Whether it's as a friend, a lover..as family. Make sure they are worthy of you..and if they prove that they are...Take care of them. Those people who care for you, cry for you, keep you from going too far and make sure you know just how special you are because you're you...The people who treasure you..Take care of them no matter what.

She shifted slowly back to Rose Quartz for the final time. Trembling, tearfully giving her son one last kiss on his cheek on his cheek. She was surprised when he grabbed her finger and squeezed.

"One more thing...Take care of yourself Steven. Always take time for yourself. If you ever need to leave and be by yourself you do that. It'll help more than you think.. and Never hold back..Be angry, be happy, be loving, be spiteful, be however, whoever you want and need to be. Whatever you do don't hide yourself from those who love you...Don't be afraid to show them your hurt and pain. Don't become self-destructive as I was...Most of all..live happily..Live truthfully….Live your life Steven, with your gem and your family. You're human, You're extraordinary..You're, you ...and that more than enough."

Rose smiled though deep sobs as she fell from her form glitching as was the dome.

"This is it.. I hope that you never hear my name, Steven. I don't deserve such a gift..but If you do..if you find out about wrongs and decide to discard me, I will still love you..My wonderful son..My truest love of all. Thank you for being you. For allowing me just for a millisecond to feel worthy of something, and I'm sorry you were born of a mother like me, at least you'll have those who are truly worthy of you around."

As she was about to kiss his cheek one last time, she and the dome vanished in a brilliant light. Leaving A newborn Steven crying and reaching towards, where his mother once stood.

He woke up from his dream reaching out, and for the first time since childhood, begging for his mother.

By the time he was done telling his story, Steven was already in a hold by tearing Connie. His tears soaking her nightie, while her ls rained on his head as she kissed his head and caressed his trembling back. Hearing him call for his mother, to apologize for his bereavement towards her with a sorrowful love was both heartbreaking and hope bringing, but it was welcomed. It was a sign that he no longer felt lost, confused, or alone. It was proof that he was like her in some ways..but it was not her worse ones and he could move on from her knowing that.

They didn't move for a while as Connie hummed sweet tunes in his ear. Easing him to relax breathing. He reluctantly moved from her hold and sat up looking at his Dreamberry, whose eyes were just as teary as his. He cupped cheeks and tenderly kissed her beckoning a melty moan from her. He broke away before resting his forehead to hers

"Thanks Connie. For being here."

Seeing that glow in his eyes made her heart skip a beat. " Of course. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else but with you. Even if it's just a dreamscape for now."

He smiled as she kissed his neck before resting against his chest. Looking down at his Dreamberry he brushed her head as she fell into a small slumber..She'll wake up before she wakes up here….

"For now but not much longer."

Growing Pains. Part 15b (NSFW)

It wasn't long before all that was left of the cake was a few crumbs and the bottle of wine was almost empty.

“You’re so beautiful.” He whispered.

"And you're very handsome and charming."

“I try to be.” His hand ran up her dress. “That dress will look better on my bedroom floor.” He whispered.

"You mean there's room on the floor for it?" She hiccuped, giggling.

“Yes.” He ran his tongue over her earlobe.

"Lead the way handsome." She held out her hand.

He took her hand and led her to the bedroom.

"Clean sheets and everything! You really did go to a lot of effort."

“Of course I did, it’s your birthday.” He kissed her gently.

She slid off her shoes and wrapped her arms around his neck.

His hands rested against her hips, pulling her closer to him.

"I love you so much Peter."

“I love you too. I never thought I would fall in love again,” He admitted.

"I'm just glad we got everything sorted out."

“Me too.” He lay down on the bed and pulled her on top of him.

"Its made me realise something though..."

“What’s that?” He asked his hands running up her sides.

"I do want kids. Not yet though." She smiled. "I'd like us to have a house together and be married first."

His eyes widened and he didn’t say anything.

"Sorry, that probably sounds really freaky given we've only been together a few months but after everything that happened with Sarah..." The wine she'd drank was starting to make her babble.

“No. Not at all. I...” He smiled brightly, “I want the same Holly. I want me and you to have a house, to get married, to have babies.”

"You do? I'd thought you would have been put off the idea."

“No.”

"I'm glad." She smiled and kissed him.

He smiled and returned the kiss.

She moved her fingers to unbutton his shirt.

He pulled her dress off over her head, his hands groping her breasts.

She let out a giggly moan as she heard the dress hit the floor.

“Much better.” He whispered.

"You're overdressed now though!"

“But your body’s much more gorgeous than mine.”

"You've got nothing to be ashamed of trust me." She whispered, running her finger up his bare chest.

He moved Holly onto his stomach as he wriggled out of his trousers, “You really are so beautiful!”

"I can see that you think so!"

Peter laughed softly as he reached around and undid Holly’s bra.

"That's one area where you have no reason to be shy!"

“That’s reassuring to know.” He reached up to kiss each breast.

"Like you weren't already well aware of that!" She giggled between moans.

“No.” He chuckled as he continued to kiss her breasts, his tongue eventually making contact with her nipples.

Her moans got louder as his tongue moved across her skin.

He grabbed her breast and began to suck hard against her nipple.

Her moans encouraged him on.

He moved to suck against the other breast. His erection pressing against her bum. He was getting so horny!

"I want you now!" She moaned.

He shifted her so he could enter her.

She closed her eyes as she savoured the feel of their bodies connecting.

He moaned loudly as they became one.

Their lovemaking was sensual despite them being mildly intoxicated.

As he climaxed, he reached up and kissed her passionately.

They continued to kiss for several minutes.

“We should do this more often.” He whispered against her lips.

"We should." She smiled, settling into his arms, the duvet wrapped around them both.

“I love you gorgeous.”

"I love you too. Thank you for the best birthday."

“Every birthday is going to be the best birthday, I promise.”

"That sounds perfect."

“You deserve it.” He kissed the top of her head, “Night night gorgeous.”

"Night." She replied before falling into a deep slumber.

It took him a little while longer but soon Peter was asleep too.

Holly was up early the next morning so decided to make them both breakfast that she brought back through to the bedroom.

Peter sat up in bed, “Shouldn't I be the one making you breakfast in bed?”

"Its ok, I was awake anyway." She smiled.

“You’re not a great sleeper, are you babe?”

"I've just always been an early riser."

“Not like me that can sleep the day away.”

"Yeh, I've never understood how you can do that!"

“I like the peace and quiet.” He laughed gently.

She giggled as they tucked into their breakfast.

He watched her over breakfast as they ate together.

After she finished eating she hesitated slightly before speaking. "Can I ask you something?"

“Of course you can.”

"Are you sad that it's not your baby?" She asked nervously. It was something that had eating away at her ever since he'd told her about his mother's discovery.

He didn’t answer for a minute, “Is it wrong that I only feel relief?”

"No. That's how I felt."

“I was worried a stupid mistake when drunk would always be there.” He sighed, “I didn’t want a baby with Sarah.”

"But there was a time when you did?"

“When I was a kid. When I thought I knew what I wanted."

"But it wasn't?"

He shook his head.

"I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a kid so it's probably a good thing that we're not held to our childhood ideas."

“I thought I knew everything there was to know about life. Didn’t understand how you could possibly love more than one person.”

"That's one thing I miss about being a teenager is knowing everything!" She giggled.

He laughed gently.

"It'll be fun to see when your sisters realise that."

“Tilly’s mum. And mum does know everything so...” He shrugged with a giggle.

"I still can't believe she told everyone that your mum was pregnant though."

“That’s really not funny.”

"Yeh, bit poor taste when your mum ain't well..."

“I don’t think the twins know about mum being ill.” A thought suddenly occurred to him. “Wait, shit!”

"What?!"

“You don’t think she’s making herself throw up, do you?”

"You said she's anorexic. Anorexics don't make themselves sick..."

“No but those with bulimia do!”

"Is it even possible to have both?"

“I think so. You can cross over, have traits of both eating disorders.”

"Is she in a treatment program?"

“She was when I was a teen but not recently.”

"Hopefully she'll go back to it."

“I hope so too.”

"Maybe we should pay them a visit?"

“Yeah, maybe we should.” Peter agreed.

"We can say we've come to check on the kittens to see how they're settling in?" Holly suggested.

“Sounds like a good idea.”

It was late morning before they arrived at Charlie and Duffy's house.

Peter knocked on the door.

The sound of someone fumbling with the lock could be heard from the other side along with the familiar giggles of Peter's youngest brothers.

“They’re so cute.” Peter commented referring to his younger brothers.

Finally the door opened. "Peter!! Holly!!" The boys yelled excitedly.

“Hello troublesome pair” Peter and Holly replied.

Charlie entered the hallway to see what all the commotion was about. "Well this is a nice surprise!" He declared.

“We came to check on the kittens.” Holly explained with a smile.

"They're in the dining room with the girls."

Holly and Peter moved into the dining room.

Holly grinned as she watched the twins attempting to teach the kittens tricks. They were completely uninterested of course! "So have you given them names yet?" She asked.

“Simba and Shadow.” Lottie replied as she looked up at Holly.

"I'm guessing Simba is the ginger cat and Shadow is the black cat?"

“That’s right.” Tilly grinned.

"Did you have a nice birthday Holly?" Emily asked.

“It was lovely thanks, I really loved the drawings on the cards I got from you.” Holly replied.

Emily grinned, a slight blush colouring her cheeks. "I'm glad."

Holly sat at the table and began to talk to the girls, whilst Peter pulled his dad into the living room. “Dad?”

"Everything OK son?" Charlie asked, a little confused.

“Is mum ok?”

"She will be." Charlie sighed.

Note

What are your headcanons for Izuku and All Might’s father-son, master-student dynamic, and how do Inko and Hisashi fit into that? The other students? I love the world you’ve crafted in Butterfly and am desperate for more of your ideas, as I wait patiently between chapters.

My dude you have come to the right place.

- As mentioned in a previous headcanon post, All Might heard the advice, “be the person you needed when you were their age,” and took it to heart. He was also a quirkless kid without many friends or family, and what helped him was Nana’s casual praise. Moments where she pulled him aside and explained to him in-depth how important he was were rare, instead favoring the technique of tossing “you’re a good kid,” and “I’m proud of you,” into everyday conversation. All Might does that for Izuku for a while, but after their talk at the sports festival he realizes it’s not enough. Izuku had been misinterpreting his casualness as dismissiveness, and that was not ok. Now, during their little tea sessions (which are probably once/twice a week), Izuku rambles about his concerns and self doubts, and All Might do everything he can at the time to ease his boy’s worries, then help formulate a plan for how to tackle the problems. Basically, it’s a much more collaborative effort.

- Eventually, Izuku gets comfortable enough to ask All Might’s advice on stuff not related to heroes or One for All. It’s probably stomething super basic at first, like running a paper topic for another class by him. It escalates from there. Maybe he wants a second opinion on a gift for his mom. Maybe somebody on a hero forum said something weird about Izuku, who’s not sure how to feel. Maybe he gets into a disagreement with a classmate, and asks how best to resolve the conflict without jeopardizing a friendship.

- One day, he confesses that someone, and he won’t say who, told him to kill himself back in middle school. All Might would give quiet support and advice in the moment, maybe a shoulder to cry on, but as soon as Izuku leaves, he loses his shit. Some sick punk could have ended his successor’s (his son’s) life before it even truly began. He uses his crazy All Might money and Naomasa to dig for evidence as the what happened, and finds nothing of the sort. Instead, he finds clearly biased reports how how much of a “distraction to other students” Izuku was. In private, he uses his connections to eat Aldera Middle School alive. In public, he makes a sizable donation to one of the last quirkless’ rights groups in Japan, and politely dares anyone to say anything about it.

- I also mentioned before that All Might kept a lot of old fanart and pulls out some of Izuku’s to tease him in private. Well one time, Izuku snagged one back, and All Might thinks he’s crossed a line. But a week or so latter, Izuku come back with the old art, a crayon drawing of All Might and Izuku in his hero costume flying through the air together from when he was five, and a new one. The same scene, rendered with Izuku’s current artistic experience. He’s no master illustrator, but All Might still frames it.

- All Might has a bad habit of spoiling Izuku with stuff. Free hero merch from some conference? Give it to Izuku. Books he’s read over and over? Izuku might like them. Cool old clothes that don’t fit anymore but are still in decent condition? Izuku might grow into them. The clothes are especially fun to give, because the fanboy extreme himself will probably recognize some fight All Might wore them in back in the day. His face lights up while asks if it’s really okay to have it, and Toshinori’s heart melts.

- there’s a betting pool in class 1A as to when Izuku’s going to call All Might Dad. Joke’s on them, because Izuku already did and Naomasa had to buy Gran Torino lunch.

- Todoroki still genuinely believes Izuku is All Might’s son. After the I-Island mess, he asked Melissa about it, to which she jokingly replied that yes, she and Izuku were cousins. He took it seriously, and now half the hero course and a couple teachers have considered the possibility.

- Speaking of Todoroki, besides Izuku and Bakugou, he’s the one that All Might dads at the most. Izuku didn’t tell him about Endeavor, because 1) he doesn’t think it’s his story to tell and 2) letting the cat out of the bag might make things worse. But he did let on that Todoroki wasn’t super happy at home, so All Might offers his support where he can.

- most of the students trust him with their problems, especially after they moved into the dorms. Some kids are away from home for the first time, or don’t have the most stable situations in general. All Might has become sort of the official class 1A life coach.

- Inko gradually softened to All Might, particularly after the cultural festival, believe it or not. The school put up a recording, and she thought Izuku dancing in the footage was fake at first. She couldn’t imagine her son doing something so outgoing and outside his comfort zone before going to U.A. And All Might helped him get there.

- All Might probably told her about the suicide thing in private, believing she already knew. He was shocked she didn’t. After the initial shock and crying session, she became one of the greatest assets behind the scenes for the case against Izuku’s old middle school. The school may have covered their negligence up, but she’s got nearly a decade of screenshots of parents talking shit about her and her son.

*gonna creep into minor spoiler territory for Butterfly so be warned*

- much like Izuku, Hisashi was a huge hero fan from a young age. Also like his son, he was told from an early age that his dream wasn’t feasible. He’s an asthmatic with a fire breath quirk, it was never going to work. Unlike his son, he made his peace with it and moved on to a different career, while still being a fan.

- when izuku was diagnoses as quirkless, it was like his world came crashing down too. Seeing his son, his baby, go though the almost the same thing as him was torture. Luckily, he knew all the right things to say from experience.

- he’s away at his translator job in America most of the year. His knowledge of local heroes makes him popular with international hero chasers who need a guide.

- He and Inko are still married, and they videochats all the time, and sends emails and letters to Izuku since he doesn’t want the calls at weird hours due to time zones to mess up his son’s sleep schedule.

- he used to make sporadic trips home throughout the year, but recently has only been able to make it back for New Years. The last time he visited, Izuku told him he was training for UA’s hero course. Hisashi took him aside, and explained that once he accepts himself for who he is, he’ll be happier.

- once he heard Izuku not only got into the hero course, but got a quirk too, he was over the moon. Hisashi is the founder and president of the unofficial American branch of the Deku fan club. He keeps up with all the UA action and watches all the videos they put out like any good fan, not to mention he’s doubled the amount of emails and letters (fanmail) he sends. Maybe that’s why it feels like his son responds a lot slower.

- he knows that All Might teaches Izuku at UA, but has no idea the man has chosen his son as his successor. If he did, he’d never shut up about it. Heck, he already never shuts up about it. Like son like father, once he starts rambling, it’s hard to stop. At least Inko is a good sport about it in their calls.

- he was planning on flying back home and surprising Izuku at some point during the school year, but stuff kept coming up.

These posts are fun to make, please keep sending prompts! Thanks again!

((I’m really sorry if I’m becoming too annoying with asks and all that!!! U don’t have to respond!!)) Kind of random, but out of curiosity, do you have any A/B/O AU family headcanons?? I honestly would LOVE to know more about all of them!! Thank you sm!!

!!! NOT AT ALL I ACTUALLY GET SUPER HAPPY WITH YOU LIKING THEM SO HUSH YOU’RE NEVER A BOTHER ASK WHATEVER YOU WANT

legit i have a shit ton of notes in my notebook with my horrible hand writing and basically nonsense notes and while writing the edited ver a) like the dingus i am i accidentally clicked a thing and lost all the answers b) the internet dies haaah

SO YEAH THERE’S A SHIT TON UNDER THE CUT

MIDORIYAs

mido worries about his mom getting overwhelmed by paparazzi so as a pro hero he doesn’t really give off his name to the public and the name midoriya kinda just fades over time

i’m guessing heroes give birth in secluded hospitals who won’t give off their info yeah? but mido’s location got leaked somehow and yu got kidnapped by villains which then todo fucks shit up and got her back so since then they’ve been kinda worried about safety and shit

inko stands in as guardian for school related stuff most often since todo and deku are mostly busy

idk why i kinda hc todo’s mom as an ice dancer or something (look at how that boy works with ice that does not come from endeavor) she used to take the kids to the ice rink and teaches them to skate. todo still holds that place as a safe space and goes to the one a few train stations away from campus after he gets his shit together. he took deku there for their date and ends up also taking the girls there too.

rei gets out at some point, as she gets used to being in society again she stays with inko (and all might//SHOT) at deku’s old room when he got a place with todo. she gets along with them and also mitsuki. they have tea together and share embarrassing stories about their kids it’s great

yu and tsumu plays mostly at tsumu’s house which was closer to the school, they hit it off super well and they even talk about each other to their families, todo and deku are super relieved to know their girl has another friend. yu actually met mirio and tamaki already but are not aware they know her parents

so tsumu one day just “hey you wanna come over for dinner we’re having bbq you should bring your family over!” and they do come over cause why not i guess and then the 2 families meet and damn

their balcony is filled with potted plants courtesy of inko. there’s also a small bottle with a single morning glory flower, wrapped in a blue ribbon and a duck cutout stuck into the dirt

no one uses watashi in the house, yu uses boku, chi uses ore, yu calls them oka-sama and otou-sama and generally uses more formal speech while chi uses the more common -san honorific, not sure if this is relevant of anything but yeah. also todo calls deku bunny from when they started courting (2nd year)

they have a thing with nicknames. obviously deku uses -chan, but also

BAKUGOUs

baku and kiri works as partners tho sometimes kiri helps out with the fatgum office, they have an office at home and basically a small gym

meat. so much meat. there’s always meat in the fridge

baku and kyou both eat with so much fucking spice and chilli kiri’s basically kinda used to it to a point. but if they have the girls over (like when deku’s in heat//SHOT) they have to have extra of the low impact portion. one time chi took the spicy portion by accident, apparently she’s immune

they’re an outdoor family basically. whenver they can they go mountain climbing when kyou is old enough. baku’s chili peppers kept getting stolen by animals, he tries every time to blow them up

baku and kiri dated and courted first, but deku and todo mated first cause of a quirk related accident. but then they got engaged and married first because baku is fucking petty.

baku’s parents fucking love kiri he’s a good boy he’s glad baku somehow ended up with someone so great. baku however have to holds himself back to be a good boy™ to kiri’s more traditional family. he managed somehow

when baku’s parents meet kiri’s they’re shocked to find how they find baku as a charming and wonderful young alpha and they’re glad their eijiro found someone who accepted him. SO MITSUKI OUT OF SPITE INVITES THEM A LOT AND BAKU HAS TO ENDURE SO MUCH SHIT

BAD NEWS FOR HIM CAUSE THEY GET ALONG

“MRS KIRISHIMA WOULD YOU LIKE TOO SEE KATSUKI’S BABY PICTURES?” BAKU, INTERNALLY DETONATES

baku ended up basically deaf so he has to learn sign language, kiri the ever supportive bf learns too, as well as their families, and they also thought it to kyou

friday nights are mario kart nights, no holds bar

the rest of the baku squad (and camie) often visits but since they converted the extra room to baku’s office and their couch isn’t all that big they have to sleep at mido’s place, or borrow their extra futon

kiri, when asked if he wants another kid, “holy shit no it was so hard to get my body back into shape ok and also how the heck do you even hold yourself as a hero not to save people IZUKU SOMEHOW DID IT MORE THAN ONCE IM STILL SHOCKED”

when kyou got his quirk he accidentally burned his bed, then screamed to dad and pop hOLY SHIT I GOT MY QUIRK

he was so proud of it at first and shows it off at schooltho when it's found out that he has little control with it, as lava often seeps through his skin and out of his mouth at random times, almost hurting the other kids, the at first popular kyou was feared by his peers, until yu got her quirk late in the year and was able to put out his lava whenever

"you're not scared of me? even before you got your quirk?" "why would i it's not like you did it on purpose" also like she's used to baku. that goes along for years until kyou presented. yu comes over after school with meds and stuff, but kyou, out of his mind and his body out of his control, attacked her, trapping her in a cascade of hot burning lava. she managed to escape with some mild burn and they kinda got awkward for a while. they're cool eventually

however when yu presented the fear of that happening again got way fucking worse

YAOYOROZUs

momo and kyouka wants to be independant yeah, so they got their own apartment (more of a penthouse if anything) with their own money

a note, dams are gender neutral pronouns for moms, sires for dads

itsu calls momo dad, kyouka mom

since he’s mute since birth, in addittion to sign language, as his interest with music grows they make a system for basic stuff he can make with notes and sequenses as answers where he’s unable to use signs

momo however also makes a list of codes for specific teas

he carries around at least a whistle or kazoo, mostly he uses a harmonica

momo’s parents worries at first about enrolling him into a normal school but momo and kyouka themselves are convident their kid can get along with the other kids

they right, even without his connection as their kid

is he a goth? not really, he just really likes the color black

he also like birds, he has a bunch of photos and encyclopedias of birds in his room

kyouka often holds charity concerts, momo and itsu always comes to support her

IIDAs

it surprised everyone when iida, the rule abiding iida, had ochako pregnant before they got married, so with the power of the iida family they got engaged and married so fucking quick

tho really it was an accident, ocha misscounted her birthcontrol pills during her heat and they’re already courting anyway and their familes are already aware of each other and get along well so whatever

HE WAS ALSO LATE FOR HIS BIRTH BECAUSE HE HAD TO FUCKING OBEY THE GODDAMN TRAFFIC LAW

also i need someone to get me like, you see iida and ura, they cute right, pure and soft. but holy shit when ocha’s in heat she takes no shit and is basically a goddamn dominatrix

they, deku and todo shares a hero agency, so basically when tenma was born they made a baby space for him in their shared office with toys and shit and the sidekicks can play with him, they’re putty in his chubby hands. same thing happened with the tododeku kids. the sidekicks are all okay with this

there’s not many support and rescue heroes, so ocha often gets called in as an instructor at ua, she brings tenma for lessons for her students to safe

tenma likes to hang around the future heroes, he likes to play hero

“senpai senpai do you need help!” “ooh ye see i think i accidentally blew my shoe way up that tree can you get it for me?” “YES!!”

he takes martial arts lessons as early as from 3 years old, as a teenager he’s able to fight midair

TOGATAs

so like not sure yet, tamaki’s either an omega or beta so tsumu is either theirs biologically or adopted so

either way if she’s their biological kid, during his heat tamaki used his quirk when doing the dirty so the genes stick and mutates and shit

aNYWAY

tamaki doesn’t really like making appearances on tv and in public, he even rarely sign for merch deals, tsumugi often finds knock off merch of him and she likes to get it as a kind of joke cause the design was actually kinda funny, mainly this actually

she also likes to find show cameos of him, that too was hilarious

she loves hanging out with aunt nejire they often go shopping, she’s the one who bought her the knock off suneater shirt

“lol you wanna know why your dad’s hero name is suneater?” “what?=D” “tha-” tamaki: NEJIRE I SWEAR TO GOD

also like mirio totally acts like the protective big bro to eri when someone likes her

she likes buff/big bodies, mostly to sleep on, she sleeps on mirio and mr fatgum

she has a bunch of miruko merch cause she’s a rabbit and has strong ass legs and she may or may not have a gay awakening cause of that

here is, in fact, said bootleg shirt

she likes the giant gaping mount

SHINSOUs

SHINSOU’S AN UNDERGROUND HERO FIGHT ME

he teaches the hero course and LIKE HIS DAMN DAD IS A LITTLE SHIT TO HIS CLASS

so he’s the one who changed the entrance exam to make it more fair for kids with quirks that are not flashy his, so the robots are then deligated to the recomendation exam kids while the regular ones gets a basically game of hide and seek with his hero buddies and the older students

i actually have this for his hero costume back from goddamn january i dont even know

i, i have nothing for fuyusei they met at the hospital and they hit it off and that’s….. it

i have even lESS SHIT FOR OJITOORU

ALSO LIKE I FUCKING LOVE THE IDEA THAT ALL MIGHT RUNS A VILLAIN REHAB FACILITY OR SOMETHING WITH ALL HIS MONEY, YOU KNOW, FROM BEATING VILLAINS TO SAVING VILLAINS, AND LIKE INKO HELPS WITH TALKING TO THEM IM WEAK

Bellow the cut are my spoilery thoughts after watching season 2 of the Tick

I’m kind of glad Dot turned out to have a super power because being the only hero with no powers is sort of Arthur’s whole thing. I also like that she didn’t outshine Overkill and just step over him, but still looks up to him a bit and appreciates his approval. They feel like equals, and he’s still an awkward turtle socially.

THEY WERE SO CUDDLY AND AWKWARD ON THE COUCH, Overkill is def the kind of guy who can’t move if there’s a pet on his lap. He’s so soft I can’t...

I LOVE that we get to see more of Joan and her relationship to her family, she’s awesome and I love and support her. She’s just doing her best, and I hope those lobster babies come to visit.

Superian and Larry’s relationship continues to baffle me just a bit. Larry seems to just be a willing servant to cater to his whims I guess. I kinda hoped they were more buddy buddy than that. Apparently it makes Superian feel better to toss him way up and catch him lawl

The way Hobbs reacted when Tick broke the arm wrestling machine thing makes me wonder if Tick is actually the strongest superhero in the world, maybe second only to Superian ??? Or at least the strongest ever registered with AEGIS.

I really, REALLY like Sage. He’s fantastic. He’s also really attractive, is it just me? DAT VOICE THO. [take me on a wild nipple ride! jk omg I’m sorry]

That twin woman who was impressed with Arthur’s nerdy organization came off as REALLY OBVIOUSLY flirting with him, and his reaction was to just shrug it off like he wasn’t in to her, even though she was gorgeous, and Tick immediately picked up on it that she was flirting and got DEFENSIVE AS HELL like she was taking Arthur away and I just-- that’s pretty gay guys. That’s really... wow. And then she comes back and continues to hit on Arthur and he never once acts like he’s in to her, I don’t... I don’t know what to say but if Arthur suddenly starts pining over her in season 3 out of no where I’m gonna kms [not because he’s not gay but because it’s pretty clear he’s not interested in this woman. Don’t establish this and then force romance after we’ve seen there’s none.] Also when Arthur was picking out fancy clothes Tick had REALLY specific fashion descriptions and opinions on what looked good on him. He was like enjoying Arthur modeling clothes ajdlfdjas

Someone needs to draw Overkill being lovingly rescued by dolphins STAT

I honestly, unironically, think Edgelord’s entire look is cool and he’s very handsome. I think he looks like if Johnny Depp and Adam Driver had a baby.

SUPERIAN FEARS THE TUMBLRS. We’re his kryptonite.

Dangerboat... plane... whatever he is, kinda deserved a little more attention toward the last half of the season. The episode centered around him was the most emotional and it brought everyone together more, I really dug that. It made me cry. ALSO WE STAN MICHAEL, HE WAS TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD. I’m so proud of Arthur for seeing Dangerboat more as a person and making an effort to connect to him as a friend. <3 good job Arthur-- at the same time--

I HATE they way Arthur acted like Dot has a specific thing she should or shouldn’t be that was out of character. It’s like the writers wanted the female character to undergo some sort of oppression to rise up against, some form of misogyny from her male family member that she had to point out. You shouldn’t have to tear down a good character because he’s male, to make the female look good. If misogyny was gonna come out of Arthur, let it come out another way other than “this isn’t want you’re supposed to do” like mother fucker, she’s been taking care of you your whole life, she’s done martial arts training, she’s a paramedic, she is way more qualified than you. He’s the last person to talk that way to anyone and it’s pissing me the fuck off. He’s the one struggling with mental illness and no phyical ability to fight anyone, it makes no sense.

Arthur’s actor Griffin Newman, he just does such a fantastic job. The whole undercover scene was so perfectly on pitch, like... just the right level of second hand embarrassment and pride came outta me. He was so close to blowing it because he’s an anxious person by nature, but he pulled it off and came off more as just an awkward criminal with tons of money that was just believably nerdy. I loved it, it was so funny. Please give him all the awards. And that scene where Tick is on one side of Lint, way too close to her, and Arthur is on the other, and they just work her forking nerves was so hysterical. I died. I think they need to play up that comedic chemistry more often because Tick and Arthur bounce off each other really well when they’re not busy trying to solve serious problems.

Ok so the whole human furniture thing caught my eye immediately. The pose we are first introduced to is an infamaously disturbing pose by a real life serial killer who ate people and posed their bodies in weird positions and used them for sex and I forget what else. Anyway I tried to brush that off as coincidence, but then later on Dot and Overkill go to where they think this Duke guy’s lair is, and his house looks exactly like John Podesta’s house that had a statue of that EXACT same serial killer’s victim in that pose, and podesta’s walls were covered in creepy pedo art of little girls and drowning women. And the walls of Duke’s lair were covered in creepy human furniture art. I mean there are all kinds of parodies this season that are in your face, but I don’t think anyone who didn’t follow pizzagate carefully would catch this one.

Speaking of parodies OMFG I lost it when Superian reenacted that Superman scene where he’s like “Can you read my mind?” as he’s dragging the screaming guy across the night sky.

Ugh, I’m so sad that Tick and Arthur don’t get to keep those precious baby lobsters, and where did they get all the cute toys?? I wanna think Joan picked those up for them. Kawaii lobster voice: “Joaaan!” Tick is such a good dad... A family can be a giant Tick man, a moth boy, a hobo, a mimaw, and a bunch of singing lobsters. "SHE'S THE MOTHER OF OUR CHILDREN!" Tick drinks respect woman lobster mom juice.

I think I don’t know what to make of the reverse Green Goblin twist going on with Ms. Lint. The creepy voice is telling her to become a hero I guess, but not really? I think the joke is we think it’s telling her to be a hero, but really it’s teaching her to be a better villain LMAO

I’m glad kevin has a power and he was welcomed to come help even before said power was revealed.-- woah wait where tf is Karamozov?? I gotta tweet his actor he loves this show and he wasn’t in this season ???

I don’t blame Dot for being upset they want to defrost The Terror, but at the same time due process is a thing. I don’t know how that would work in a society full of super powers though. Because the moment you defrost him he’s going to find a way to escape. He’s the oldest, and the worst super villain of all time. This is why I’m ok with the death penalty and killing villains lol

I was expecting Walter to be some sort of MK Ultra sleeper agent, but the plot twist was, that’s what Overkill would become I guess. And Lobstercules. OH BTW I think she’s voiced by the same actress who played Captain Liberty in the old Tick sitcom! “Walter isn’t Walter? My feet don’t feel so good.” Aw Tick

Ty Rathbone drinks respect mothers juice.

Acting agent commander doctor agent Hobbs, honestly I suspected he was the main villain like the moment he was headed toward Lobstercules because something about the lighting and the camera work seemed to telegraph that.

I bet the reason Ty Rathbone feeds his black hole heart monster mice, is because it requires frequent blood sacrifice and that's the smallest sacrifice he can think of that he can quickly just put in there and placate it and go on with his day. I don’t know if he’ll be season 3′s villain or if it’s the aliens that just came back to reclaim Superian.

Which btw, I called that shit from season 1 episode 1. Superian showed up crash landing inside Big Bismuth which is the only thing that could trap him. He was a prisoner, probably because he did some bad shit, and he told Arthur he helps humanity because he just wants to be a good person. Like he wasn’t one before and now he wants to try to be one.

I want to talk about these, nearly involuntary dance parties Overkill rewards himself with... but I uh... I still can’t compute that that’s actual canon. That that’s a thing Overkill and Dangerboat enjoy together and he... he can’t seem to control himself when the music plays... And also that Dot AND Overkill both know how to floss dance... I just... wow...

Oh and that hug with Overkill made me an emotional mess, he just... he really needed that, thank you Dot.

This concludes my rant and ramble.

Coffee breaks

How did Felix ended up being friends with Sam?

It was a winter day in Chicago at my friends work place where you'll find me taking a cat nap on the blue couch. I had a long morning and noon time from my line of work and my lawyer friend and comrade, Sammuel Toutsaint, also known as Sam Toucan for short, was kind enough to let me be. I could have done it at my house, but then there's always something or someone to prevent me to do so.

Apart from what really mattered, I need my time to relax just for a little bit.

I then started to dream about the past... of how I've met him and how he became one of our best assets against the corruptions and mafias like Alfonso's.

----- two years ago -----

I was anxious. This is my first case as a OFFICIAL detective! I've may have three months of police experience after I joined, but this is my time to shine and I want to make the best impression by solving this mysterious cases of bizarre circumstances.

At first, the first thing I got was just the name on the attorney business card along with an address and a phone number. It was attached on one of the report files when they handed to me. I did at first tried to call him twice at work, but it didn't answer. So I decided to go at the address on the card.

My first visit at the attorney's headquarters... I've probably had worst....

I walked in and I've asked the receptionist of the person I was supposed to meet. She said that he's not in now, but she had an idea of where he is and asked me to wait a bit. I had no problem with that. That is until I've met one of the attorneys there. Judging from the type of badge, he must be a prosecutor.

He looked well polished and may have that air of arrogance...

Depending of the character's behavior, I need to be on my best behavior and my guard up. But not even my police and my 'parental' training wasn't prepared for this. Upon the first glance we exchange, he looked at me like I was just a kid playing a detective star...

Look, I know I may be small and still have the baby face, but I'm a full pledge adult with nephews to look after! Although sometimes I needed to show my I.D. To prove it... But even then I'm still not safe from those kind of prejudice.

Thankfully, the receptionist was able to track down my mystery person at a local cafe place he recently hangs around to avoid certain people he didn't get along. I can understand what she meant and why that person goes there.

After she handed me the address, I wasted not another minute in there with that fancy, nicker pocket guy who was starring at me with arrogance. My late father once told me that whenever there's someone who had an expensive suit and talks to you, they tend to have an attitude to match and lawyers are a prime example of the worsts...

At least, that what he used to say and... I do hope that mine would be at least be nicer... Even if it's just for one time.

Once I've arrived at the cafe shop, I was surprised that it's one of those usual yet unique place. The place feels like it was almost completely made of wood yet it had some modern design, but it kept its original settings. It feels like just an ordinary coffee brewery yet it feels like it had that second home feeling... Like dad used to take me and sometimes my sister for a drink and he'd be teaching about the coffee tips and other stuff... Man, these sweet memories takes me back.

Ah, no. Get back in reality! Where is he? I don't see anybody except for the barista employee which I believed is the owner and there was three high school kids that appeared to be jocks judging from those red football team jackets... How unusual for them to be in a place like this.

Then again, I was pretty unusual person myself back in my high school. I was either at the library, on a soccer field or occasionally at a museum on most week days compared to the 'popular kids' hangouts.

I decided not to pursue the matter and asked the guy in charge. “Excuse me, I'm looking for someone named Sammuel Toutsaint. Would you know who he is?” The man simply nodded. “Ah, great! Can you tell me where is he?” I asked another question and he just simply pointed the restrooms for men as I looked at the direction he aimed. “Ah, ok. So...” I then noticed two coffee cups and he then pointed out a really ideal seating area next to the entrance of the store with a big window. “Alright, I'll... wait for him there.” Huh. Not much of a talker this guy... yet he somewhat understood what I was gonna do.

I sat at the appointed table and I glanced back at the jockey kids. I noticed that they were mocking at the owner cause he wasn't a talkative type and some other remarks while they finished off their pastries. I gotta admit that I admire his resistance to those kinds of teasing... I did at one point in my life that I was bullied for my eyes that was in an unusual golden color until I got into high school and I was able to solve my 'first' case at the bakery sales...

I then noticed a figure passed by me and he plot down on his seat across me. He had black hair with an Elvis inspired bangs, a deep blue colored eyes, he wore light blue dress shirt, a yellow over-sized sleeveless sweat shirt, navy blue pants and the most distinguished character trait that I've first noticed it myself was that he had THE most ridiculous rainbow tie I've probably seen.

“Are you... Sammuel Toutsaint? The new ace defendant attorney?” I nervously but politely asked the guy. “Yes but please, just call me Sam Toucan for short. Don't think too hard about it, kid. I don't like to beat around the bush so much unless I had to.” So he's the straight forward type of guy... I don't sense any malicious intend from him, so I guess honesty is a surprisingly a rare trait from him.

Ok, so I need to get straight to the point of this first encounter. “I've been assigned to solve this mysterious case of odd thefts which involves the statues being taken from the victim's homes and then were broken into pieces just outside of their homes.” I told him a short brief and then he questioned me. “If that's the case, why would it be a robbery if the items them selves were found just outside of the victim's home only broken?”

“Well... 'They' say it's a variety of odd vandalism, but I believed it was actually a sort of a robbery. in a way.” I told him on what I believed to be right. He just looked at me with dead in the eyes like he was saying 'what the heck you think you are, some kind of a upstart, naive, kid who wanted to be the best of the best by bragging?'

Luckily for me, I have my evidence to back me up before I decided to claim it. “I studied carefully of the details and what they all had in common. Upon each crime scene, I noticed that there were a few that was from a wealthy home. Yet despite of all of the treasuries they held in each places, the perpetrator was keen on selecting only one specific object and left the rest of the room untouched. Speaking of the item at hand...” I then took out a sketch of the item itself. “There was only about five so far that were smashed to pieces and they were all found under a nearby street light. All of which were these black busts of the ancient deity, Anubis.”

He raised an eye brow at that. “Why would our 'culprit' would steal only these type of busts and then broke it in the streets, worst of all under a street light that would obviously let him be detected?”

“I would say that it might be a theory that our thief was looking for something inside the busts. The bust itself was made from some cheap plaster that was solid enough to harden but easily break if thrown hard enough.” I answered.

“Alright, but still, why would they throw it under a street light?” He asked again.

“I believed that there's something rare and valuable hidden in one of these specific busts. Most likely about the value. Money is a golden standard for most cases that involves stealing. I believed that there's a precious shining object at hand, still determined what it is that so small, would required some lightning to be seen. No normal human eyes can see it in the dark.” I gave my second answer. So far I did well... I think.

He then rested his face on one side as our barista handed over a coffee pot along with two cups, sugar cubes in a small container and cream. “I'm pouring for ya, how do you take it?” He lifted the coffee pot and suggested it.

You know... it's been a few years since I had a hot cup of coffee... Maybe I should try it....

“Black?” Was my first option. “Don't try to sound tough, you sissy.” He saw through my first awkward response...

“Cream?” I tried to sound it a bit more social elite. “Oh, coming right up, madam.” He then pulled a gentlemen accent and sarcastically mocked the slightly lighter, second option.

“Cream and sugar?” I sounded like I've been grown down. “What are ya, twelve? Never mind, what else do you wanted to talk about?” He just poured in his own cup and then placed the pot at the center, but I lost my taste for coffee after that.

Guess I needed to wrap this meeting up quickly. “I've been looking a bit deeper on my own searching and I did came across one particular home decor shop that specialized on their home made brands. I did talked to the owner at the time but he couldn't help due to my... inexperience and his lack of trusts to the law enforcement. However, I did manage to meet his brother, who was like a second in charge, did mentioned more details I wanted to hear after the first one left. The first was that there WAS a connection between the busts that were sold, did indeed were from that place, and the second that there's six in total, included the ones that were broken. Which leaves whoever have the sixth, must be what the thief is looking for. I did asked for the sales registries but... He mentioned that the owner kept it very privately and that it would be really hard for anyone to get it. But then... he handed me your card and he said that it could help me. I wanted to met you after that, but by then the courts were closed for the evening so... I was wondering if there was a way to get access of those sale records without causing so much trouble.”

“What about your badge?” He pointed out the obvious.

“If I used my badge, that would only fueled the fire to his hatred against the law, probably spreading rumors like we're the bad guys who would do anything they wanted like the Alfonso mafia. You know them, right?” I doubt that there's isn't a single person in this town that doesn't know this notorious group.

“I've heard and saw some of their handy works when I moved here a few months ago.” Oh? He's from out of town? That explains that certain English accent that's a bit different. It's not exactly American, yet not quite English. Where have I heard it before? “You're actually new too?”

“If you meant by moving here a few months ago from here and Montreal and started out weeks after, it might be. But my bar license is proven to be legitimately professional. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know?” He then sounded like a middle aged men with experience. But what really caught me was how he pronounced 'Montreal' in a more french accent and that's when it hit me. “Are you originally from Canada?” My eyes widen and I smiled at the guy with excitement. I feel like I'm making a new foreign friend and that I hope that I will learn about their cultures.

But he didn't responded cause he was eyeing on the jocks that had their fun and that they were leaving the shop. I glanced at them too until my eyes gave a sensor warning. I blinked once and it showed me that one of them had hidden a few bags of assorted coffee beans and some sugar while the others were acting like their bodyguards. Not on my watch even if you're in high school. I quickly stand up and placed myself between them and the door before they exited. One of them with a black slick hair spoke. “What are you doing, punk? You're in our way.”

I showed them my badge and stated. “I am Detective Felix Lockheart and I'm asking your friend right there to open up up his jacket. I don't believe any kid would gain that size after eating just a small danish pastry.” I pointed at the middle guy who hid the goods. The third one who had blond hair then mocked me. “Oh, how stupid! Did you hear him? Do you need to call your daddy at work to pick you up?” They all laughed until I made my move. I moved like lightning and I snatched one of the coffee bag that was hidden from his left pocket. They were all surprised, including Sam, who I think he whispers something with tabernacle or something french.

“Now, I do believed that this shop doesn't sell these individually and that I didn't see the money you've handed out to pay it. Return the rest and I will not report it.” I gave them a chance to slip, but the red head, who was the one who had it, wasn't compromising. “Man, who do you think you are punk? Jimmy, get him.” Then the blond grabbed me by my white shirt and slammed me against the side of the door. “Not so tough now, are ya? Mr. Holmes.” Then it was the black haired one that spoke. “If you wanted to play detective, go play with your sis...ter.” Suddenly they all turned a bit pale when they looked on their left. I turned to my right and see Sam standing up straight with his hands in his pockets.

I was just as shocked as they were. I mean, I've only seen him passed me but I failed to noticed that he was REALLY tall! He almost reached the ceiling with his head. Did I also fail to mention that he had that average jock built that wasn't like a heavy bodybuilder but just enough to have those abs?

Sam then spoke with an intimidating glare. “Now, I would let him go unless you wanted to make medical history.” He pointed at me with his right hand and then the blond gently puts me down. “Good choice. Now see, I noticed from your upbringings that your parents are paying for your college, when they asked me for 'advice.' Now see this guy here-” He pulled me closer to him in a way that says 'this is my kid.'

“Is a respectable human being that serves our city. He is even merciful with this minor incident and will not report it if you return the sh!t you've stolen. Last I've checked with college submissions your parents are sending you three, they don't allow kids with criminal records in 'easy' and I'm a good friend of the head master there. Now... don't judge this guy here cause of his looks. It's not the uniform that makes a man, it's the man in the uniform AND the man in THIS uniform... Can break your face with his sharp claws and he has back ups if ever he needs to.” He even lowered his head a bit just to glare straight in their eyes as they trembled. This guy could make the roughest thugs of the abandoned docks look like decent folks!

It didn't took long for them to emptied all of the stolen goods and placed them on the counter as 'we' watched. I didn't 'detect' anymore so I nodded. “Alright, I'm letting you kids off this time, but next time I will not go easy.”

The one with black slick hair then said with fear from Sam. “Yes sir, we were wrong and we won't do it again. Can we go now?”

“Oh yeah, I think you three learn enough lessons for one day, eh? We don't want to overload your brains, eh?” My big new 'friend' somewhat came to 'friendly' terms with them. “Why don't you kids just 'walk' right out of here and be done with it?” They all awkwardly smiled at him as they leave. As soon as they were half way through the door, Sam just jerked his head forward and they were sent scattering. I've seen this kind of technique with guys with his height and stature, but very few of them can pulled it off.

He then looked down at me and asked. “You ok?” “Yes! Yes! Um... Thank you for helping me.” I thanked him. Where were my manners?

“Wake up.” He then said.... Wait. That never happened nor said that.

He then shake me again and my vision started to blur.... “Wake up, Félix.”

---

“Aweille! Wake up, Félix! It's almost our coffee break at the usual spot!” I was woken up by Sam's big hands in my hair and messing it up. “Ack! Sam, no! I told you not to do that! It took me a while to groom it this morning.” I quickly got up and fixed it. I hope he didn't have anything that would stick in it like he did with his 'favorite' attorneys who he had a huge dislikes apart from we now know they're in Bendy's pocket roll.

“If you don't wake up the first two times, j'men criss! and you needed to be at your house in two hours.” He pointed at the ugly owl clock he found at a garage sale that 'miraculously' still works...

“Why do you have weird things in your office? I don't wished to be rude or anything but-”

“The idea of having weird things in here is to ward off people with stupid bullsh!t. You'd have your own personal space too if you follow my lead at your work space.” He tried to persuade me.

“No thanks, I've had my share of craziness.” I responded until I realized I needed to tell him something.

“Oh yeah! That clock reminds me of something!” I reached over the arms of the couch to grab my yellow leather brief case that had black X's and dots covered on it. That used to belong to my father too which had a unique charm that I couldn't resist. I rustled in it, but I couldn't find it...

“Where is it?” I mumbled to myself. Then Sam started to make conversation in a deep voice. “I don't know.”

“It's gone.” “That's true.”

“It's lost.” “Now I know.”

“Where could it be?” “Could be anywhere.”

“Maybe it will turn up.” “Maybe, but not yet.”

“It's gone.” “That's true... Are we going through this sh!t again?” He then fired that stupid, sarcastic question that I've unintentionally set myself up. I forgot that I'm friends with a smart a&&.

I just looked at him with a straight face, since I've pretty gotten used to this, and asked. “May I borrow the coffee table for a minute so that I can sort it out?” He gestured and I carefully dumped out all of the continent. Since it was a pretty big bag and I've rarely carried it, I've sometimes forgot to sort out the papers, tickets, outdated documents, and some books...

“Man, I really do need to sort out my bag one of these days. I really need to practice what I- aha! There it is! I knew I did brought it!” I finally found my book! It was entitled 'Lamplight City' with a blue cover and it was the first volume.

“That one? It was a New Year gift. No need to return it. Even if it WAS lend, I don't care if I ever got it back, I just want to know where the f#k it went.” Sam being a 'practical' guy, he wasn't the least bit shy to tell me that.

“I know it's just... I wanted to thank you again after I've finally finished reading it. I know it took me a while, regarding my busy schedule, but this is a really interesting story. The great Britain from the eighteen fifties, a steam punk themed technologies, a former private investigator who still helps the innocent victims like Sherlock while he did so with the voice of his long time partner who got killed in the first chapter and... I've never felt this exited over a fictional detective story since like ages!” I held it with both arms crossed like my nephews would do to their stuffed toys.

I was so lost in words that I didn't noticed him getting dressed up for winter weather. “That's cute and all, but I'm late for a cup of real coffee. Shove those all back in and you can sort them out there. Anything that's no use can still be used to lit the coffee pot or a fire insurance fraud.” He waited for me. Even the most 'holy' person isn't gonna change him to take a compliment nicely.

I quickly shove it all in and dressed for this chilling weather. Thank God that I'm blessed to have a such nice warm coat along with mittens and a scarf. Sam wasn't affected to the cold and said that the winter time here is no competition from where he came from. Not even our snow storms were a challenge to him, despite he swears religiously in french whenever he had to shovel his driveway. I hope that he count that as HIS blessings that my kids doesn't understand french... at least not yet or we're gonna have a serious problem here.

As were passing through the main entrance, I noticed Sam's most hated rival, Jerry, was there. He was the one who snubbed me off when I first went here too, ya remember? He was with his 'underlings' that Sam called them and he noticed us leaving. Being the 'famous' lawyer in this place, he called Sam out. “Leaving so soon? I was wondering when you'll ever live your life right.” His followers were responded to this by chuckling and giggling. “You're right, life's complicated. We get up, we go to work, we eat three meals, we take one good sh!t and we all go back to bed. What a f#king mystery to me!” He said and ignored them as we passed by. He knows that if he gave him more attention, he's going around in circles with their conversations... So he decided to end the conversations with anything he can think of, including throwing them off.

Not the one that almost got this guy through a window, once upon an incident a few months ago. I mean, we can't control the people that walked through our lives but that doesn't mean we can choose to throw them out of a two story window, Sam!

But that story is for another time. Right now, we'll just enjoy our coffee and our bro time. In peace if life could be generous this time.

------------------Author’s Notes---------------------------

Here’s a decent, short but simple story of how My OC Sam Toucan met with Marini4′s Felix the Cat.

I wanted to type a plausible story of how they met since I’ve first created this character. Now to be fair, I keep on adding, subtracting, or redo his bio since he’s not an ‘official’ canon to the BBTIM universe.

Some of Sam’s origins will still be kept in the dark, but I decided to start on how they met and give you readers a good idea of his character.

If you saw my art of him, you’d probably read his description that I got that look from the Phoenix Wright game series and that his attitude is based from that legendary comedian, George Carlin.

I wanted to give him that character who’s honest but doesn’t give a sh!t at the same time. But I want to give him an impression that he still has that ‘family instinct’ when it comes to Felix and his nephews, just he’s not willingly to show that side to most people.

I feel like I’m giving him a complex character... Sorry if he’s out of it.

Anyways, I did do a reference of one of the recent games I’ve discovered on Steam. The title from Felix’s book is indeed, Lamplight city. THAT game is very interesting if you’re a fan of what I’ve just typed by Felix’s description and if your’re a fan of solving mysteries and pixel art styled.

I’ll let a link to the Steam shop here and if you just wanted to watch it from a game play, here. I hope you all enjoy it.

BBTIM universe and characters belong to Marini4 and OC Sam Toucan belongs to me.
