#Kalen your so sweet <3

Kalen waits outside Rove's door with a trey of treats in his hands, balloons tied to his wrists, decorated gift bag balanced on his head— he winds up using his foot to knock on the door.
“ Hey, Rove! Happy Birthday, man! Or, uh, early birthday. ”
It's the day before Rove's birthday, something Kalen points out with an apologetic grin.
“ I wasn't sure how busy you'd be tomorrow, seein' as how you probably have things to do for the party, so I wanted to drop by and get ya' all to myself! ”
He barges into Rove's room, setting the trey on the desk. Set upon the trey are a bunch of plastic cups, decorated with spider stickers, filled with icecream, crumbled chocolate cookies, and gummy worms.
Once his hands are free, he unties the balloons on his wrists, wrapping the string around one of Rove's chairs.
“ Aaaand this is for you! ” He announces, taking the bag off his head, and giving it to Rove. “ I sure hope ya' like it! ”
Inside the bag is a green and purple weighted blanket, an orange sweater (a pumpkin on the front, with the words "Let's get smashed" on the back... something Kalen, at the time, found hilarious), and a tiny, wooden Dollface.
The sculpture is a little clumsily made, and a bit rough around the edges, but the colors painted on are spot on.
He was tired and stressed. Working so hard to make sure it was a good halloween for everyone he sat in his room doing some repairs on the costumes while playing online dice on the side. Sat in his chair sideways, legs hanging in the air as he hand stitched away humming to music he hadn’t expected to hear a knock at his door. Pulling off the headphones he raised a brow. “Ka-kalen?” He stood up confused, placing the costume down on the desk and walking to the door. “You're here for my birthday?” He genuinely looked confused. As he opened the door quickly stepping aside flabbergasted at the sight. So much effort for him? He stood confused staring at the bag now pressed in his hands. Slowly as if it would break he took it out and carefully unwrapped it The blanket soon finding it’s way draped over his shoulders as he held the carved Dollface Fingers gently gliding over the details taking in the work someone put into this. “Did you make this?” He asked as the Real Dollface Fluttered over to inspect her statue, her fluffy antennae twitching clearly pleased with the offering.  After a moment he walked over to the desk placing the wooden figure down between his monitors he hugged the sweater to his chest half using it to his flushed cheeks. Maybe it was because he was tired…maybe it was because of the time of year but after a few moments he reached out hesitantly to Kalen. Big grey eyes staring up at his friend for a moment before the sweater lowered a little revealing a small smile. “Thank you Kalen,” He said before smiling wider, eyes closing as he let out a happy breath face flushed with happiness before he turned to pick up one of the ice cream cups. “Want to watch a movie?” He asked.

“Father please, you can’t be serious…! You expect me to go there alone? But they’re pirates… What if I’m kidnapped or killed… or worse!” You protested with defiance in your voice after what he had just told you. “Are there really no other alternatives?”
He informed you that beginning that next morning, you were to take over in his place taking his deliveries to the Baratie, commandeering a small transport ship that had been your small family’s main source of income for as long as you could remember; selling produce to pirates and marines alike, but mostly to the Baratie restaurant since it offered the best compensation. At least that’s what your father always said when he’d set sail, reassuring you he would return home safely every time. He usually did, which never did manage to ease your distaste, not even when he’d come home with leftovers of the best things you had ever tasted in your life. It just unsettled you with all of the stories of the ruthless, pillaging, heartless pirates you had spent your whole life growing up hearing — you couldn’t understand how any amount of berries would be worth it, and now it was your turn.
“Oh calm down, y/n. You act like I’m sending you off to a slaughter house or something. It’s a restaurant for god's sake.” Your father said with an amused guffaw that sent him into a flurry of phlegmatic coughs, urging him to grab the handkerchief off of the side table so he could cover his mouth. After he regained his breath he looked up at you with an extremely worn and rugged expression that he tried his hardest to hide with the warmest smile he could manage given the pain. “Please don’t argue. I understand how you feel, but you’re the only one that can do it. When I’m gone you’ll have to handle all of the business, not just the Baratie deal. I just want to make sure you won’t struggle sweetheart.”
You were bubbling with frustration, especially when he told you to calm down, and more than ready to pop like an overheated kettle about to boil over but were immediately snapped out of your streak of rebellion at the sound of his health issues acting up again. It always sent a wave of worry through your heart whenever he got like this and your body propelled you to his side, helping him up from his padded rocking chair and towards his bedroom for the night. “Okay fine I won’t argue, just please take it easy father… I understand. I’ll do it alright, if that’s the price for your peace of mind. Now go lie down and I’ll fetch you some tea and your medication.”
The past few years had been a steady decline for him, but you grew up learning all of the basics to get by from how to farm and how to haggle with merchants, all the way to hosting your own little fresh produce stand planted right next to his when you were younger until you were old enough to handle the flood of clientele that visited his on your own and learning how to handle and save household and business funds. It was a lot to learn and came with many conflicts between you and your father when you brought to his attention that other young women were out searching for potential marriage candidates and having fun with their friends instead of having a business thrust upon them. Still, your love and respect for your father kept you close to home and working to take over since he didn’t have any sons to pass his business onto. Love and familial obligation were your ultimate burdens to carry just like raising and protecting you alone all of these years had been his to carry.
So with great reluctance, when it finally rolled over into the early hours of the next morning, there you were loading up the little transport ship and cross referencing the corresponding item checklist.
It somehow bothered you that it was playing out just like a usual run of the mill delivery. There were no stormy clouds or end of times type of catastrophes foreboding a dangerous trip or stopping you from setting off, instead you were faced with the usual misty early morning fog that hugged the water before dissipating when the sun made its arrival. However, you would already be well on your way to the Baratie before the sun peaked, needing to have the goods delivered so they could be received by the kitchen and prepped before the restaurant opened up for that evening's diners. You just hoped they didn’t decide to put you on the menu since this was your first time engaging with pirates. It was silly to think of sure and possibly a bit outlandish for cannibalism to be your first fear out of all of this, since even pirates were still just people, but surely some of the stories had to hold merit. Despite these lingering fears however, you had promised your father that you would handle it so he could rest and that was a promise you weren’t about to break.
The seas themselves were relatively calm too as if to add salt to the wound of your overactive imagination, and any other trade vessel would’ve been praising whatever gods there were for the easy travel, but you stood at the wheel of the ship with knots in your stomach. The waves lapped at the boat and urged you closer to the restaurant, the fish shape of the ship immediately catching your attention. If you hadn’t known any better you would have assumed it was a fisherman’s boat, but the closer you got the clearer the word ‘restaurant’ became and your nerves were now at an all time high. You navigated your vessel towards the floating docks attached to the larger ship, docked, and began to tie up the safety rope just like your father taught you. It was a pretty easy task but it was made longer due to your trembling fingers.
When you were finished you gave the rough rope a good tug to ensure it’s stability before making your way back onboard to grab a few of the crates to carry them towards what you assumed to be the back entrance. Part of you wondered how your father had even made the deliveries as long as he had all by himself as you carefully walked along the creaky wooden dock so you wouldn’t drop any of the produce. All was well with only a few close calls as you levied the weight of the boxes between the wall and your frame as you lifted your hand and timidly tapped your knuckles against the door. It only took a moment of waiting before it swung open, the lively sounds of an already busy kitchen falling upon your ears as a portly, normal enough looking man in a standard white chef's outfit came out to assess the disturbance with a raised brow until he saw the boxes.
“Oh that’s right, I forgot it would be a new person coming today. Thank you kindly. We were wondering if we’d be able to stay on schedule today or not, but you’re just on time.” The man said with apparent relief in his tone as he wasted no time in helping you, grabbing the boxes like nothing. “I’ll go ahead and take these in and send some men out to collect the rest. Just go ahead and go through the kitchen and wait inside at one of the tables, I’m sure Zeff will be right with you with your payment.”
There wasn’t really room to protest and you recognized that name at least from what your father told you so you nodded your head with a polite but somewhat stiff smile. “Of course! I’m glad I wasn’t late. Oh okay, sure, I’ll go in then…” You said as you steeled your nerves once again to enter the pirate restaurant. You expected to see chaotic disorder and a mess of drunken old men, but what you saw was instead a very clean and professional kitchen with everyone already attentively prepping meats and vegetables of all sorts and colors. Everything smelled so good, especially when she walked behind a man opening an oven containing a fresh beautiful fluffy cheesecake. It looked like a pretty cloud on its own and you could already imagine what it would taste like melting in your mouth with a sweet cream topping and strawberries, but this wasn’t the time to think about food. You had to get your fathers payment and go home, back to where you felt in your own element.
It was a little calmer when you pushed past the service doors into the main dining room of the Baratie. The main doors weren’t open yet so it was just you and the staff getting the room ready, which somehow made you feel both at ease and also on display as you ogled the decorative room around you. The outside had been impressive enough, but the inside was intricately designed with paintings of far away places and long gone people adorned with golden inlaid frames on beautiful crimson walls, tables topped with plates of the finest hand painted china, beautiful centerpieces to accompany the arrangements, and majestic pillars holding up a secondary dining area. It was a far cry from the uncultured barbarians you had heard of and left your head swimming as you made your way to a table out of the way of the hustle and bustle, shrinking down into the nearest chair as you tried to make yourself less of an eyesore and obstacle for the workers. If anything you felt underdressed now.
“…” A soft sigh left your lips as you kept your hands on your lap, fingers fiddling with the little charms on the bracelet clasped on your wrist to pass the time as you watched people walk in and out of the kitchen. You had begun to wonder if you had been forgotten about in the process after you had grown weary of gazing around the establishment, but just as you were about to get up from your seat and look for someone who looked to be in charge, someone approached your table and set down a steaming cup of what appeared to be a decorative coffee with adorable little whipped foam hearts. “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t order this. I’m not here to eat, just to get paid—” Instead of another homely waitstaff, or perhaps even the elder peg legged whiskered chef Zeff you were told about, before you stood a gentleman who looked not much older than yourself who wore a dazzling smile that was only rivaled by the sparkling deep blue of his eyes as he looked down at you. Truthfully it made your heart skip to suddenly be under such an attentive gaze.
“I know madam, this is just because I saw you sitting here by yourself and couldn’t help but bring you a little something sweet since you’ve already sweetened my day.” The charming young blonde man said with a wink as he refused to pick up the pretty steaming cup of enticing coffee until you gave it a try. “Please go ahead and drink it, it’s on the house. And here to be paid, you say? Ahh I’ll be right back. Don’t you go anywhere now sweetheart.”
You watched him turn on his heel and leave toward the kitchen again with a bewildered but intrigued expression on your face as your hands finally left your lap and held the piping hot cup with a light grasp, humming with delight as it thawed out your chilly fingers. “Well that was nice…” It seemed that the small show of kindness was enough to dispel the silly fears you had previously harbored because the cup was quickly brought to your lips, gulping down some of the creamy liquid experimentally and sighing happily as the delicious caffeinated beverage laced with caramel warmed you to the core. The cute little hearts dispelled against your lips, but it was a small price to pay for the delicious taste. “Mm, I’ve never had anything this good.”
You finished the drink quicker than you realized—an adorable pout adorning your lips when there was no longer a drop of your beloved coffee lingering. There wasn’t much time to be disappointed though, the kind stranger that served you before was already heading back towards your table.
“Sorry about that my lady, please allow me to take care of that for you.” He began with another charming smile, taking the cup from your hands and setting it on the tray he held placed off to the side of the table. “Chef Zeff was regrettably a bit busy so he told me to go ahead and give you your payment this time, I hope that’s alright. I promise it’s all there.” He said as one of his hands sunk into his pants pocket to produce a sizable stack of berries. He placed it in your hands gingerly, and he seemed trustworthy enough that you just nodded and carefully tucked the money away in your bag.
“Thank you, Mister, um… Sorry, what was your name?” You asked with a sheepish smile in return, feeling bad for not having already asked the first time around when he had brought you the coffee, although you hadn’t really had the opportunity to to speak much to him before he had left to get the money from Zeff to give to you for the goods.
“My name is Sanji, and it has been my pleasure to help you out this lovely morning. What shall I call you, sweetheart? Unless you’re fine with being called that.” The cheeky blonde man you now knew as Sanji asked with a playful and flirtatious smirk pulling at the corners of his lips as he waited for your response without a shred of shame; going as far as taking your hand in his and pulling it up so he could press a chaste kiss to the back of your hand.
“T-Then thank you, Sanji. It’s nice to meet you,” You stammered in surprise, being reasonably caught off guard by the suddenness of the action and the continued casual flirtation. “-you can just call me y/n.”
“Y/n… Now that’s a perfect name for a stunning angel like yourself.” He tacked on with a seemingly ceaseless supply of butterfly inducing charm that you weren’t entirely sure what to do with. Your cheeks burned from the compliment yet you couldn’t seem to avert your gaze from the man. “So tell me y/n, will you be sticking around for breakfast? You just name it and I can head back to the kitchen and cook it up special for you. I promise it’ll be the best thing you’ve ever had.”
“Breakfast…? Oh I wish I could stay longer, but I’m afraid my father is waiting for me back at home. Perhaps next time I can stay and eat here.” You said, not even sure if a place like this would really fit into your expendable budget, but also not wanting to tell him no when he had been so kind to you. “I look forward to getting to try your cooking, Sanji. If it’s as good as the coffee you made for me I’m sure my savings will be in danger…” You added on with a warm laugh. “But I really must be going, I wouldn’t want to be in the way when customers start arriving. It really was nice to meet you Sanji.”
Sanji was going to protest that it wasn’t possible for you to be in the way, but you had already gotten up from your seat, smoothing your dress down before flashing him a smile that made him hope you really would come back; even if it was just so he could see you when you came to make a sale again. “My cooking is definitely better than the coffee, sweetheart. You’ll just have to find that out the next time you’re here then—which is soon I hope.” He said as he reached forward and gently untangled the charm on your necklace that had gotten wrapped around the chain when you stood up. “There you go, and I hope you don’t mind if I ask to walk you out? Couldn’t very well call myself a gentleman if I let a woman sail off unaided.”
Needless to say you couldn’t refuse and found yourself being escorted back to your ship, safe and sound just like your father had said you would be.
You shared a little bit more back and forth, telling him when the next shipment was to be expected and assuring him that it would be you delivering it again the next time, much to his evident delight. Eventually you realized he had managed to trick you into staying longer than you planned with innocent questions and with reluctance reminded him you had to leave before it got too late. He seemed disappointed but conceded knowing he had no real reason to keep you, even helping to untie the boat from the docks while you made your way to the wheel. You waved each other off, and that morning you took home with you more than just berries; a changed perspective and a desire to come back with enough cash to taste his cooking.
Present Day
Delivery days to the Baratie had become your favorite days of the month the past three months much to your fathers amusement, not that you’d told him the real reason you had warmed up to the job. It didn’t take much for an old man to figure out though when he saw his usually glum and disinterested daughter putting more effort into her appearance for a simple delivery looking to be in much higher spirits. His daughter being happy was nothing he would ever complain about, so he wasn’t too concerned. If anything it was nice to see you unwind and enjoy yourself more often.
“Y/n, why don’t you go ahead and take out what I owe you when you get paid today, huh? Stick around the Baratie for a bit. Treat yourself and eat there and tell your old man what you think of the food at the restaurant, eh? You’ve been working too hard lately. I appreciate it, but you need to take a break too.” Your father said as he walked you to the front door of your shared home to wave you off. “I insist; and y/n…? You look lovely today, honey.”
“Thank you, but what’s gotten into you today, dad?” You said with a laugh as you gave him a tight hug before boarding the little transport ship like usual. “If you’re sure you’ll be okay, I’ll stay for breakfast at least. I have been meaning to for some time now. Do you want me to bring you something back?”
“What, I can’t compliment my daughter?” Your father grumbled as he tossed the rope onboard before supporting his weight with his cane. “I’ll be fine! You worry about me too much, I have food here at home. Be young, go enjoy yourself.”
The boat trip was as usual pretty uneventful, but you were thrilled to finally be able to stay for once instead of leaving after being paid and stealing whatever few precious extra minutes with the handsome cook that had effortlessly gained your interest that you could. You didn’t even mind unloading the boxes today, but you took extra care regardless since you had worn a pretty white dress that shimmered like stardust when the light hit it and you didn’t want to get it dirty before he could see you all dressed up in it.
The delivery went off without issue, and now you sat at your usual seat in the dining room as you waited for Sanji—heart thudding nervously in your chest as butterflies danced in your stomach and throat. Despite the flirting over the past few months, you still never got used to seeing the way he smiled when he saw you, and you were certain that today’s smile would inflict critical damage to your heart, but it was only fair since you were sure to do the same. It felt a bit silly dressing up just for these moments, but every smile and compliment was well worth a few lingering moments of feeling a bit ridiculous.
The moment he appeared in your peripheral vision you straightened in your chair and subconsciously began to fix your hair, but stopped fussing when you could tell that he had seen you. Then there it was, a breathtaking, awestruck, toothy grin like a kid being allowed to open their gifts early on Christmas that sucked the air right out of your lungs.
“Y/n sweetheart, you look absolutely ethereal this morning!” Sanji gasped as he wasted no time in showering the back of your hand in soft kisses; something that had become a usual greeting between the two of you yet never failed to set your heart rate pounding sky high. “To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing an angel in my presence…?” He cooed softly, laying it on thick as per the usual, but today you wanted to see what would happen if you let the casual flirting teeter into new territory.
“Aw Sanji, you're too sweet to me, thank you...!” You smiled shyly as you let your hand stay captured in his gentle grasp, enjoying his warmth. In your desire to see what would happen though, you squeezed his hand and rubbed your thumb over his while looking him in the eyes to answer his question. “Well, I wanted to see you of course; and I just had to finally see what your cooking tastes like.” With the incoming payment today, and expressed permission from your father to use the funds, you were more than prepared to pay whatever price you had to for the ‘best meal you’d ever had’ as Sanji had promised you the first time you had met.
It was clear for a split second that you had completely flustered the poor man by reciprocating even a fraction of the attention he was giving you from the adorable shade of pink that dusted his cheeks, but his happiness at hearing you would finally be dining on the Baratie and eating his food helped his temporary brain override right itself, instantly widening his smile and seemingly just encouraging him to go further with his affections.
“Just for me? Well in that case I can’t refuse, can I?” Sanji said as he carefully pulled you up from your seated position and began to lead you into the kitchen where everyone was working away. It earned you a few curious gazes but they ultimately said nothing as they watched Sanji take you to one of the industrial stoves to show off. Being Zeff’s adopted son had its privileges every now and then. “So what are you in the mood for today, my angel?”
“Are you sure it’s okay that I’m back here? I could’ve just ordered at the table, Sanji…” You asked anxiously, but were taken off guard when he plopped a hand on your head and gently ruffled your hair in a show of affection to make you stop worrying, but still making sure not to mess it up.
“Don’t worry about it y/n, no one’s gonna say anything to you for being in here.” Sanji said with a laugh before smiling brightly down at you. “Could’ve ordered at the table? Nonsense, I won’t have it. Don’t worry about the details, love. I’m going to be cooking for you personally, so don’t worry about paying, okay? Just let me know what sounds good to you and I’ll see what I can do. It’s the least I can do to make your day a little better after you brightened my day so easily.”
You were a bit baffled when he told you that you didn’t need to pay but you weren’t about to question him, especially not when he continued to make your heart skip with those pretty smiles of his. So you nodded in agreement, but it didn’t completely sit right with you to just let him do it by himself when you had come here to spend time with him. “Okay fine, but can I at least help you cook…? I would feel a lot better about not paying if you let me help out. Also, I was thinking maybe some strawberry crêpes? I know it’s simple, but I’m craving sweets.”
Sanji had been looking forward to wowing you with his culinary prowess, but hearing how cute it was that you wanted to help make something to satisfy your sweet tooth had him wholeheartedly agreeing to let you without any hesitation. “Sure, of course you can help me sweetheart. Follow me to the fridge so you can help me grab some things we need? Then I’ll make sure my sweet gets her sweets.” He said as he held his hand out to you, which you then took without a second thought.
“Mhm!” You hummed happily as you kept closely behind him, taking the items he handed you without a fuss or a worry in your mind. It was nice not to have to stress about rushing right back home, especially when things seemed to be going so well between the two of you right now. You even wondered if you could get him to eat with you as you carried the necessary ingredients to the nearby countertop. It wasn't anything too crazy, but it made your day knowing you got to share this time with him, helping him doing what he loved to do. “What would you like me to do next, Chef Sanji?” Your tone was happy and playful with a hint of flirtation.
“Ideally I’d love for you to just sit here and look gorgeous while I serve you, but since you insist on helping you can go ahead and slice some strawberries and make the whipped filling for the crêpes if you don’t mind.” He said as he began making the batter, then fired up the stove with an audible click of gas before flame started to lick the bottom of the pan and warm it until it was hot enough to make the layers of batter he poured into it make beautifully browned thin crêpes ready for the filling—more than plenty enough for just you.
You had finished slicing the strawberries into a neat bowl and were in the process of whipping the heavy cream and cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla when Sanji came up behind you to check on your progress, placing a hand innocently on your hip and letting his chin rest on your shoulder. The close contact made you freeze for a moment before relaxing against him and enjoying it for as long as it would last instead. “I’m almost done too! But it would be a shame to have to eat all of this by myself... Won’t you share them with me, Sanji?” You asked while running your finger along the edge of the bowl to collect the excess fluffy cream on your index finger, bringing it to your mouth for a taste. “Mm… Please? You definitely have to taste this.”
Sanji found it too cute to resist your persistence on sharing your special meal together, so he didn’t say no. In fact, he was definitely tempted to have a taste for himself—just not entirely what you were thinking. “Don’t mind if I do, my angel.” He said with a smirk as he gently turned your chin to have you look at him, leaning in to steal a quick kiss to taste the sweet cream lingering there from your own stolen taste of it. “Just the right amount of sweetness.”
At that moment you were certain that if anyone looked up ‘flustered’ in a dictionary it would surely have a photograph of you as its subject. Your cheeks burned hot, lips parted in shock and you almost thought you imagined it when he let go of you and took the bowl of sweet cream to begin filling the crêpes like nothing had just happened. Given the setting you didn’t want to question it, figuring you’d get a chance to ask about it later.
After everything was dished up onto two plates he grabbed a fork and cut off a reasonably sized piece, lifting it to your lips with an expectant expression. “Now it’s time for the ‘look gorgeous while I serve you’ portion of our morning.” Sanji said quite cheekily and didn’t relent until you gave in and ate from the dainty metal fork obediently. “That’s a good girl. There’s no better compliment you could give me than just seeing you enjoy the food we’ve made together, sweetheart.”
It almost made you choke hearing him call you that, but you attributed it to his tendency to use terms of endearment with you and tried to focus on the taste of the food in your mouth instead. It was by all means perfect just like he said it would be. Sweet but not too sweet with the buttery crêpe and freshness from the strawberries, but you had to admit that it paled in comparison to the sweet kiss he had stolen from you just a few moments ago. In the cheesiest way possible, that had been enough to satisfy your craving; not that you would say that and ruin how happy he looked when you took another piece that was offered to you without fuss and then another until it was gone. You’d eat whatever he offered without question, especially if he kept smiling at you like that.
“So tell me, was it as good as you had hoped it would be?” Sanji asked as he gently dabbed a folded napkin against your lips like you would shatter if he wasn’t careful with you. It almost made him laugh though when you looked a little disappointed, which he deduced was from his use of the napkin instead of a suave smooch, but he rationalized that the morning wasn’t quite over yet until you’d stepped on the boat to leave; and he had his own clever little agenda at play. If another kiss was what you were after, you were sure to get it and more as long as you just said yes to a separate question he had for you.
You immediately nodded but cleared your throat so you could contribute more than that—he certainly deserved praise for even bringing you back and cooking for you in the first place. “It was amazing Sanji, I definitely wouldn’t mind coming back and paying for a meal next time, especially if you’ll be the one cooking it for me… How can I repay you?”
“There is really no need for you to repay me for any of this sweetheart. I only request that you’ll allow me to accompany you back to your boat again? I’ve really come to like our time together you know, so I hope you don’t mind.” He said with another jello leg inducing smile that only allowed you to profusely agree, suddenly regretting eating the crêpe so quickly upon realizing it meant it was getting around the time to head out so he could get back to work.
However, all good things eventually had to come to an end so you reluctantly nodded and allowed him to escort you back to your ship. Once you got there he handed you a container with the leftover crêpes under the promise that you’d give it to your father as a thanks for not minding you staying out a bit later.
“Are you sure I can take this…? Aren’t you hungry? You didn’t eat any of it at all, just fed me…” You said with a concerned pout that only made him smile at your sweet consideration of him. “I just feel bad—”
Sanji gently pressed a finger to your lips with an amused shake of his head. “If you’re so worried about me eating something, why don’t you come back later tonight and we can have dinner together when I get off, my angel? If your father doesn’t mind letting you run off again that is.” He said with a smirk as he removed his finger from your lips in favor of caressing your cheek. “We’ll have a proper date, if that’s something you would like y/n.”
You subconsciously leaned into his touch and nodded, knowing that if anything your father would be annoyingly supportive and take the chance to remind you that you had once been practically quaking in your boots about even going to the Baratie once upon a time and now you couldn’t get enough, wanting to go of your own free will to see one of those pirates you had been so afraid of.
“I would love that, Sanji. I’ll be here, I promise.”
After that Sanji didn’t hesitate to cup your face with both of his hands and lean in to press one more kiss to your lips and then another, letting his lips linger against yours instead of pulling away right away since there weren’t a bunch of eyes on the two of you out here. It only made you even more certain that you would face whatever teasing you had to so you could make it back here tonight for a chance at receiving more of his addictive affections.
He eventually pulled away from the kiss and rested his forehead against yours with a soft sigh, pulling you into a tight warm embrace before he had to send you away like he didn’t even want to let you go. “I’ll see you tonight then, my sweet angel.”

hello, I really like your drawings and your oc and I wanted to ask you how Thomas and Kalen met, I hope I was polite and didn't ask too much, have a nice evening
Lil lore dump for ya <3 So Kalen originally didn't live in Texas, he moved there looking for quick/needed work. He knew it wasn't the best place to move due to being transgender and gay but he tried his luck! He met Thomas while driving into Texas on the road, looking for the nearest town (which is near where Thomas works, ect) Thomas didn't help that much apart for point in which direction xD Kalen however was mesmerized by Thomas before knowing him, seeing him as a big man, bold glaring eyes and an unusual aura he couldn't help but keep passing Thomas in his car on a daily basis on the road that Thomas walks to work. This then pushed Thomas to look at Kalen more, show some attention towards him than before (which was just silence). What really pushed them to being closer was Kalen always asking if Thomas would like him to drive him to work than him walk all that way. Ofc Thomas refused MANY times but one single time he allowed it, it was a change for Thomas, he was nervous to get in Kalen's car for this ride but once he realised Kalen wasn't a threat and just was nice to him, it made him feel emotionally confused as his whole life he was isolated for his appearance and actions. Kalen didn't know he was dangerous though Thomas looks it. He knew he was working at the Slaughter house and would also visit Thomas there at Lunch time after Thomas began taking car rides with Kalen. Kalen would bring him sweet things like cake, cookies, even home made things when Kalen felt flirty. Thomas was shocked by these gifts, it would only make them more closer as "friends" until Thomas invited him over to his home to see the family. Kalen did meet the full family and didn't end in the basement thankfully, he just ended up in Thomas's room >:)) (mostly cos Kalen is h*rny)

— a complete and total list of birthday gifts given to riddle rosehearts.
1. FROM COUNSELLOR FROLL — A BRIDLE AND MARTINGALE SET 
a beautiful gift. vorpal has always enjoyed our rides, though i find that there is merit to the idea that the quality of one’s gear adds to the quality of one’s ride. i will have to thank counsellor froll again for the bridle and martingale set. perhaps i will invite him out on a ride, after the halloween season. 
sent to counsellor froll  — a thank you card, written with an impeccable hand on bone-white stationary. there is a single, blood red ribbon affixed to one corner of the card. the inside reads: 
Dear Counsellor Froll,          Thank you for the bridle and martingale set. They ride beautifully, and Vorpal seems well pleased with them as well. Perhaps, if you should have the time and inclination, I could join you for a ride on the trails surrounding the campus.         Thank you again,                RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS. 
2. FROM KALEN ROCA — VARIOUS STRAWBERRY SWEETS, TEA BAGS, STATIONERY, AND A PINK AND WHITE STUFFED BEAR. 
perhaps i ought to have expected kalen roca to go above and beyond what is thought necessary by the bounds of propriety. he is effusive, in every meaning and occasion of the word. but it was sweet of him. and i did appreciate it. it is long past time i invited kalen to take tea with me, i think. 
sent to kalen roca — a card, written on a soft pink piece of cardstock, smooth and satine to the touch. in the light, it gleams with a pearlish sheen, which reveals a subtly embossed rose pattern. the card reads: 
Kalen,          Thank you for the well-wishes, the sweets, and your generous gifts. I understand that as the semester whiles on, we all have less time for leisure — rightfully so, as I would expect you to be devoting ample time to your studies, as befits a member of Heartslabyul — but, should you have the time, I would invite you to come take tea with me on the weekend. 
3. FROM ROVE BOGGE — A JAR OF ORGANIC HONEY AND ROSE-SHAPED HONEYCOMB CHOCOLATES 
i will admit that this gift was unexpected. rove bogge and i do not necessarily...get along, so to speak. it is, of course, likely because i get along with very few members of ignihyde, sans ortho shroud — but, this was a thoughtful gift. i do appreciate it, and i shall remember to pay it back in kind. perhaps during the winter holidays. though...perhaps i’m seeing things, but is the embroidery on this ribbon crooked...?
sent to rove bogge — a two-fold card, written on pale yellow stationery. there are small bees drawn on all four corners of the card, enchanted to fly in loops around the edges. enclosed within is a small packet of milkweed seeds, meant to attract butterflies to a garden. the card reads: 
Thank you for the gift, Rove. I will use it well. I hope you will also make good use of what I have left, enclosed within the card.               Best,                  RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
4. FROM MOTHER — A CARD, WRITTEN IN FAMILIAR HAND
    Thank you for your well wishes, Mother. I remain devoted to my studies as ever, and will endeavor to do you proud while I am here, at Night Raven University.          Please give Father my love.                Your son,                         Riddle

Legacies seasons 1 & 2 had such fun monster-of-the-week things but the main big bad of Legacies have been such major FLOPS.
Still better than Teen Wolf's weird pacing issues but that's not saying a lot.
Golden Trio version 1 (Hope, Lizzie, and Josie) with bonus squad: Kalen, MG, Raf, and Landon were great and Triad as the main big bad for s1 was Great Actually. Tapped into the Legacies theme of the show bringing in MG's connection to the group via his mother.
The happy days before we realized that the show would continue to re-use Malivore and the Necromancer over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Plots and characters threaded together.
Except for the part where I wish Hope was there during the siege more.
Season 2 had a great build-up to the Dark Josie arc with bonus Kai Parker providing more chaos. Building more relationship dynamics between Hope and Lizzie (my favorite!), I did actually like Josie and Landon. I know that's unpopular but they were sweet together.
Raf, unfortunately, is just reduced to re-living his traumas and then used as a puppet for Necromancer shenanigans. I hate it.
I know fans hated season 2, which I still find confusing since it felt like a fun season to me.
And then season 3 happened. The first time I watched in real-time and the season was plagued with the covid stoppage, and they were off to a bad start where they did the thing where 'Hope didn't wake up because she felt Landon was dying'.
Started out stupid, continued to be stupid culminating with Hope killing Landon. Also, I guess that was an advertisement for safe sex and how everyone should have protection during sex.
It's like when D'avin temporarily killed Sabine in Killjoys because they had unprotected sex.
Cribbing with Buffy in all the wrong ways and ensuring that Hope will never have a healthy relationship with sex again. A weird thing for a show set in a universe where it didn't have a weird hang-up over sex.
And now their strongest character in the TVD 'verse has that hang-up. I would never guess the one thing Hope would have over Buffy is a bigger hang-up regarding sex, but the Legacies writers did that.
Also doesn't give me the greatest confidence the episode where Hope a) has sex for the first time and b) kills her first love with her sex was written by Brett Matthews, current Legacies showrunner.
In season 2 they had a much better take on having sex for the first time. Maybe Barbara Brandon should've directed that episode instead of the white guy.
I miss Marguerite McIntyre (sheriff Liz Forbes) writing for Legacies.
Finally, in season 4 they're getting their groove back and I love, love how the show is setting up Hope and Lizzie on the opposite sides of the war. First by choice, and now because of the brand with Aurora, by coercion. It's some good food.
Unfortunately, Landon is still stuck in limbo and I like the kid he doesn't deserve to be there and every time it goes to the limbo scene I zone out. Because it's so Damned Boring and disconnected from everything else. I know they might connect it in some way but god, is it such a snooze fest.
I'm not a fan of Josie leaving the show but I loved Josie and Lizzie's last scene together because it broke my heart but also gave me such strong first Doctor to Susan goodbye vibes: "One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."
I do like they're changing Cleo's powers in a way that they won't always rely on Cleo to give inspiration or save the group's ass in a way that's reminiscent of how the MF gang relied on Bonnie. (In a highly negative way -- Bonnie deserved better).
HIRE VARDEMUS FOR THE SALVATORE SCHOOL PLS.
Alaric needs another adult (who isn't Ted and the Necromancer) to talk to and it showed in 4x14.
Plus real!Vardemus actually worked a lot better than Clarke!Vardemus, which isn't a surprise.

Returning the Flash Drive
By: SassyShoulderAngel319
Fandom/Character(s): DC/BatFam - Jason Todd/Red Hood
Rating: PG
Original Idea: An AU prompt list I found on Pinterest but was from Tumblr.
Notes: (Masterlist)(By Character)(About Me) The italic blocks of text are parts of the original project. And that original project is actually an actual original project of mine. @welovegroot @batboys-and-other-messes Posting way early today because why not and I have no self-control
^^^^^
Jason plopped down at the library computer, fully intending to just search the catalog for Sense and Sensibility, check it out, and leave.
But he got distracted by the bright blue flash drive sticking out of the USB port. There was a piece of blue masking tape on the side, with a heavily worn-out name written on it. But it was so worn, all he got was a T and maybe an e. Though it could have been a g. He wasn’t sure.
Curious, he clicked out of the library catalog window, and found the drive on the desktop. It was named, “Bat-Drive.” He couldn’t help but snicker as he opened it up.
There was a long list of Microsoft Word docs immediately there with weird file names. Angst Galore, Crimson Poison, Duct Tape and Safety Pins, For What I Love, and Winter Went Down to Georgia as some of the ones he noticed. At the very top, though, was a file that read, !!!IF FOUND PLEASE READ!!!
Jason clicked it open.
“Hi there, stranger! If you’re reading this, that means you found my flash drive. This thing is my life. Thank you so much for finding it. Please text me at ###-###-#### and say you found it and where I left it. I’ll promptly come back and get it! Thank you so much! I appreciate it!”
Jason blinked and got out his phone, already typing the person’s number into a new text message box. He closed the file.
SUPERNATURAL HIGH—DRAFT 3
Another file name caught his eye.
Knowing he shouldn’t, he opened it. The person’s little note for whomever found the lost drive didn’t have a name. Just a phone number. But the file name implied it was some form of fiction. Maybe there would be a byline.
Supernatural High
By: Me
Well that wasn’t helpful. Jason narrowed his eyes in frustration.
Chapter 1—My Roommate is a Vampire
“Welcome to Supernatural High School!” the banner read over the huge front door. I looked at it, reading the same five words over and over again.
“Wow,” I said to my mom. “I’m here.”
Jason tilted his head, attention caught. He leaned forward, laced his fingers under his chin, and started to read.
He knew he shouldn’t be reading this. He knew that someone else’s writing was a private thing until made public, but it was good. The writing style felt like someone around his age wrote it—probably a girl if the main character being a first-person narrator female character was anything to go on—and it was engaging. Creative and with an interesting premise.
Jason poured over the third draft of the story—and glanced at the page count. 102. Single-spaced. Wow.
Enraptured, he continued reading.
Vicky pulled open the A-G Freshmen filing cabinet. It took her three seconds to find Adamaris, Aaralyn (the name of the protagonist) in the front of the drawer.
Vicky snatched it and flipped open the light-yellow file folder.
“What in Hades is an aquatic hybrid?” Vicky hissed to Carrie and Vinnie.
“What?” two voices asked quietly. Carrie left the computer where she was trying to erase Aaralyn’s name from the teachers’ rolls and Vinnie left the door so they could both look at the file over Vicky’s shoulders.
Species: Aquatic Hybrid.
“Huh,” Vinnie grunted.
“Yeah… what is an aquatic hybrid?” Carrie whispered.
The light flicked on. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” a voice said from the doorway.
Jason paused reading for a moment. Who was writing this? He needed to return the flash drive to its owner…
Opening the file explorer window again, he scanned down the file names.
Me—Facebook Profile.jpeg
Eureka.
Jason opened the picture.
Weirdly, the girl looked like the kind of girl who would write the piece of fiction open on his screen. A wide, sparkling smile. Eyes full of sweetness and intelligence. A few wisps of hair caught in a breeze. She was standing on top of the Wayne Enterprises tower on the observation deck, arms thrown in the air and one leg popped behind her, obviously excited. A Batman beanie was hanging out of the bag on her shoulder.
Jason smiled and looked around the library. He couldn’t see around corners or shelves, but in his line of sight, the girl in the photo was nowhere to be found around him.
So he kept reading. When he was done, he’d turn it in to the lost-and-found or go searching for her through the shelves—and maybe even down in the children’s section in the underground level.
He was so entranced by the words that flowed so naturally, so casually, down the page that he really didn’t notice time was even passing. He didn’t notice his back muscles growing stiff or the occasional buzz of his phone in his pocket.
When he finally reached the end of the document—“Kalen’s arms found my waist as the disco lights swirled over our skin and the music beat its gentle rhythm into the floorboards and our hearts. I smiled and”—he almost flipped the desk over. Why did it end in the middle of the sentence? Why did it end at all?! Where was the rest of it? That couldn’t be the end!
In a frustrated state, he closed the document, and the picture, ejected the drive, and yanked it out of the computer. He logged off and roughly shoved his chair back. Holding the drive lightly in his right hand, he started to wander the library, looking for the girl to return it to.
^^^^^
I’d been sitting in the same spot in the library for hours. My apartment’s electricity was off for the day while some wiring was getting fixed and my laptop had broken. Not to mention the library was the only place my sister wouldn’t look for me and I’d been avoiding her for two days. Long story.
I was sitting in a worn-out old velvet armchair with Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Titan’s Curse in my hands. My water bottle was halfway empty—I’d need to get up and refill it before I left… if I ever left.
Something hit me in the chest.
“What the—?” I muttered, looking down.
It was my flash drive. Bright blue with my smudged-out name in masking tape on the side.
“Why did you stop there? How’s it supposed to end?” a voice hissed.
I looked up, one hand closing around the drive.
The man in front of me was so ridiculously handsome that my mind went blank and my breath went away. Tall, muscular, black-haired, blue-eyed, chiseled face with a jaw sharp and strong enough to cut glass. Wearing skinny jeans that showed off exactly how powerful his legs were, a white T-shirt with what appeared to be Red Hood’s red bat symbol on the chest, and a red hoodie.
I didn’t even process that he’d asked me a question. My brain was going more along the lines of, “Oh hot dang he’s handsome. How is a man that handsome even allowed to exist? Wait. Hang on. Did he say something? Shoot.”
When I didn’t answer, and just stared blankly, he sat down in the long-vacant armchair across the tiny coffee table from me, and continued, “Your Supernatural High story. Why did you stop writing in the middle of a sentence?”
I realized what he was talking about. “Oh. You read… my story…” I trailed off.
“Yeah, missy. And listen, I get that Kalen and Aaralyn totally have a thing goin’ on, but c’mon lady! He’s too old for her at that stage in their lives and he may be the hot, bad boy type but she’s so bright and sweet! What about Conan? I know he and Zurie seem to have a small flirtation but everyone knows werewolf-vampire romances are doomed so why not just give him to Aaralyn? Though, I do appreciate the whole Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers vibe they have since you mentioned that the Wolfes and the Addingtons don’t get along,” he ranted.
I blinked but didn’t say anything. This handsome stranger wasn’t finished yet.
“I also really liked the Pride and Prejudice, Much Ado About Nothing feel between Aaralyn and Kalen. Especially with Zurie, Lyric, Conan, and Ryker contriving to set them up in a very Lady-Beatrice-and-Lord-Benedick way while the Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennet thing can be slyly represented by the fact that he’s a pureblood fairy and therefore more respected in the community while she’s a hybrid that others distrust for being half-human. What’s she even a hybrid of? A-hundred-and-two pages and you still haven’t revealed what her other half is.”
Someone in the library shushed him.
I opened my mouth, trying to come up with something to say. I hadn’t really intended for there to be all those classic literature parallels, per se, but it was nice to know someone could pull something out of what I’d written.
“I don’t even know your name,” I finally managed to say, whispering because we were in a library.
“I'm Jason. And why isn’t this published?”
“It’s not done, genius. Why do you think?” I retorted.
“Fair point. But seriously, what’s Aaralyn’s other half? What even is an aquatic hybrid?” he asked.
“A-hundred-and-two pages of implications and you can’t figure out what she is?” I joked. “With everything I’ve mentioned and every not-so-subtle clue. From her singing at the dance to getting pushed in the pool to what happened when those three boys drowned at the school decades before she even attended and you have no idea?”
^^^^^
Jason thought hard for a second, trying to puzzle through everything he’d just read. To be fair, he’d read quite a lot in a short time and it had almost overloaded his brain.
He glanced down at the book in her hands. He’d never read the PJO series but he’d heard a lot about it. His eyes also searched the ceiling, as though still reading the text on the computer screen up there.
An idea popped into his head. He looked back down at the writer girl.
^^^^^
Realization dawned on the man—Jason’s—face. His jaw dropped. He mouthed one word. I smirked.
“There you go. You got it,” I said, a little louder than I intended.
The librarian shot us a dark look.
“Look, I don’t even know your name, but I have to read the rest of this story. Please. It’s really good and I was really enjoying it and you ended it in the middle of a sentence!”
I smile lightly. “Thank you,” I said before offering him my name. “And if you really wanna read it, give me your email and I’ll send it to you as I work on it. I’d love a beta reader.”
“Absolutely. Please. I have to know what happens,” Jason said.
I pulled my notebook out of my bag and passed it to him, tucking my flash drive securely into a zipper pocket and zipping it up. Wasn’t going to lose that again.
He handed me back my notebook with his email address scrawled over almost an entire blank page.
“Can I take you out to lunch or something and you can tell me more about your stories? Especially this one but what else do you write? I saw a bunch of titles on your flash drive but I only read the one.”
My jaw dropped open. “Uh—I mean—yeah. Sure,” I said.
Jason got to his feet and offered me his hand to help me up. “I'm sorry if I'm freaking you out. I'm just a… voracious reader—” I could tell by that vocabulary word. “—and I’ve recently been getting into more contemporary stuff. There’s only so much classic you can read. It’s a finite genre.” He pulled me to my feet. I scooped up my bag and put PJO back on the shelf. Before walking next to Jason out the door.
“It’s okay. You freaked me out at first because you never expect someone to approach you accusing you of not finishing your story when you don’t know them and don’t realize at first how they even read your story, but I'm so unused to having someone so enthusiastic about what I’ve written that I was just surprised,” I replied. He smiled.
“I really look forward to the finished product,” he said.
“Thank you. I'm excited to have someone who’s excited,” I said as we left the library.

5 Tips for Social Media Basics
Social Media is the forefront of business in toady’s digital world. Whether it’s new business or current buyers, customers will consistently head to your pages on social media to get to you know. Developing those social outlets and staying consistent is vital to creating a lasting impression for your customers. Check out a few tips to advancing your social media to the next level and get in touch with the experts at Kalen to push you even further.
1. Lead with objectives
Start with your top three marketing objectives, then evaluate how social media may help you achieve them. Too often business owners buy into the idea that ‘I have to be there. I have to be in all these new places or I’ll be left behind.’ But social media has to help you reach your objectives or you’re just wasting time. Don’t think of social media as just a megaphone for your business, but think about how it can help you reach your goals.
2. Start a conversation
The key thing with Facebook is to remember that the algorithm they use rewards posts that have interaction. If a business posts something but no one responds, then Facebook won't show it to anyone. They're trying to keep people on their website, and they can only do that by showing posts and stories that people find interesting. It's going to get more difficult, as Facebook announced they're going to be changing their algorithm. They'll now favor content from friends over companies and other pages.
The key is to ask questions and respond to the answers. A car dealer could post a picture of someone buying their first car and, sure, it's interesting enough. But if they turn around and ask people, ‘What was your first car?’ they have a chance to get people to answer, and then they can respond. Now, to that person who answered the question, it's not a car dealer, it's a car dealer who knows his first car.

Now, to that person who answered the question, it's not a car dealer, it's a car dealer who knows his first car.
4. Dominate on one platform
Find out where your target customer spends time online. Then pick one social platform and dominate on that one. Claim your profiles on the other networks, but focus most of your time on that one. Listen first. You need to be ‘friend-raising’ online. I started out (on Twitter) just sharing other people’s content for six months. When you share your own content, do it on a four to one ratio—share four pieces of someone else’s content for every piece of your own that you share. On Twitter, where I have over 324,000 followers, my advice is, ‘Be sweet, retweet.
5. Be visual
Attention spans are short so be sure to add photos and videos to your social content. It will boost engagement and is perfect for businesses with products to show off. If you have a service-based business, consider a photo with words or a photo that complements your text. And don’t overlook visually-oriented platforms like Instagram and Pinterest.

A Time to Grow 85
Chapter 85 - Never Grow Up 
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger And it's so quiet in the world tonight Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret I'd give all I have, honey If you could stay like that
"There you are." Maks said finding his wife curled up on the back porch swing.
"How is she?" Peta said as she moved what she was looking through and waited for Maks to sit beside her. He did and she automatically shifted into his body as his arm wrapped around her holding him tight.
"Pretty sure she's going to cry herself to sleep but she's calmer than when we came home. She's got Addie's sweater and she's curled up with a movie and Sampson." Maks said softly.
"I can't say I blame her." Peta whispered.
"Me either. It's going to get easier." Maks said as his hand coasted up and down his wife's back.
"I guess." Peta said as tears filled her eyes again. He decided he'd go with distraction rather than fixing it. This wasn't one of those fixable things.
"What were you looking at?" He said motioning to whatever was next to her.
"Addie's scrapbook." Peta said reaching for it and pulling it over to them.
"Babe, is that helpful?" Maks said chuckling as he shifted them so she could open the book.
"Yes and no but look." Peta said pointing to one of the first memories in the book. The picture was one that Maks had taken of Peta and Addie a few months after her first birthday.
"Oh I remember that day. I came home from everything at the studio that day and couldn't find you two." Maks said smiling thinking back.
"Oh, sweet pea, you're supposed to be sleeping now." Peta said softly as she rocked her tiny girl in the rocker one night. Maks had some things to do at the studio in preparation for the Summer Invitational so she was on bedtime duty on her own. Addie had other ideas about her bedtime though.
"Ma, Book?" Addie asked as she snuggled into her mother. She wasn't fussy or upset or anything, she just seemingly wanted cuddled. Not that Peta minded but it was late and she knew that no matter what time Addie went to sleep she was going to still wake up early, therefore giving her and Maks a grumpy Addie for the next day.
"Sweetheart, its sleepy time." Peta said gently. She had already read her four books.
"Peas?" Addie said as she fluttered her eyelashes at her mother. Peta looked at her for a moment and decided to say screw it. Her baby was only going to be little for so long and she needed to enjoy those moments while she had them. They could deal with grumpies tomorrow when it came.
"Go ahead and pick one sweet pea, but then it's snuggles and sleeps okay?" Peta said smiling as Addie's eyes lit up and she squirmed until Peta put her down. She toddled over to the bookstand and found Goodnight Moon before bringing it to Peta.
"Nigh Moon." She said as she snuggled back into her mother's embrace. Peta handed her Bunny and Blankie and curled her in tight. Addie gripped one of her fingers as well. It had been a new thing she started recently whenever they taught her pinky promises. She didn't quite understand them yet but it was oh so cute. It then translated into her wanting to hold one of their fingers when she was sleepy.
"Goodnight Moon, it's one of your favorites huh sweet pea." Peta said pressing a kiss to her head before getting them situated. She began to read, she went slowly at first and noticed Addie's eyes drooping by the end and decided to just repeat it. By the end of that time, Addie was out. Peta set the book on the end table and put some music on. She decided she'd just enjoy these moments for a bit. She closed her eyes and just snuggled Addie in as they rocked.
Maks arrived home around that time and started to search through the house for his wife and daughter. Normally Addie went to bed an hour ago so Peta was usually in the living room or on the porch. He didn't find her any of those places though so he headed to Addie's room to make sure there wasn't anything wrong. And the sight he walked in on completely melted his heart. Peta was holding Addie tightly to her as they rocked slowly. Peta's head was resting on Addie's while Addie held tightly to Bunny & Blankie as well as gripped Peta's finger. The finger thing made him grin, he had been the one who started the pinky promises with her. The sight was just something that was beautiful to Maks. So he decided he'd run the risk and take a picture of the two before moving over to his wife. He snapped a few before getting one he liked and then headed over to his girls.
"Pretty girl." He said in a whisper as he bent down next to her.
"Hi handsome." She said as her eyes opened.
"Extra cuddles tonight?" He said as stroked Addie's curls lightly.
"Yeah, she was just in a lovey mood. I was going to fight with her to sleep but then I decided it wasn't worth it." Peta said as she watched her daughter's eyes flutter gently in her sleep. She must have been dreaming.
"I understand that one. She's growing up too fast." Maks said as he pressed a kiss to her head.
"Yes she is. So after she needed cuddles and fell asleep, I decided I needed cuddles, so I just kept her." Peta said sheepishly.
"Nothing wrong with that." Maks said as he stood up and kissed Peta as well.
"Let me tuck her in and then I'll come with you. I may need some of your cuddles too." Peta said with a wink. She stood up and tucked Addie in making sure she kept bunny and Blankie before gently easing her finger out of her daughter's grasp. She turned on her bunny nightlight. She tucked her favorite sleeping blanket from her Aunt Sharna around her before leaning down to kiss her goodnight. Maks did the same and the two headed out of the room.
"I wasn't ready for this Maksim." Peta said as she burrowed into his shoulder.
"We had 18 years, pretty girl. But I'll have to admit, I didn't think today was going to be as hard on me as it was. I had planned on keeping it together for you and Clara. However, telling her goodbye did me in." Maks said. They had moved Addie into her dorm for her first semester of college that afternoon and it had hit the close knit family super hard. Clara had cried the whole hour drive home while Peta had barely kept it together. Maks had ended up walking away from the group as they were saying their see you laters since Addie had deemed it out of line to say goodbye. Needless to say, this first night without their baby under their roof was going to be a hard one.
"It's going to get better." She whispered quietly as pressed her lips to his chest.
"Exactly." Maks said as he kissed her head.
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart And no one will desert you Just try to never grow up, never grow up
"Look at that one." Maks said deciding to distract them. He saw a picture of a 3 year old Addie standing next to a 4 year old Kalen on his birthday at the jump park in the city.
"Oh my god. I thought you were going to kill that little boy that day." Peta said as she started to laugh remembering that day.
"Well, don't mess with my baby." Maks said laughing as he thought on that day as well.
"He was 4!"
"Manners baby!"
"Oh my god." Peta said laughing as she thought back to that poor kid's face that day at the jump park.
"Momma, we jump?" Addie asked from her spot between her & Maks in the taxi on the way to Kalen's 4th birthday.
"Yes, we're going to jump sweet pea. There's going to be lots of trampolines and things to play on." Peta said smiling at her daughter.
"Baby Kelsi be there?"
"Yes, baby Kelsi is going to be there. I don't think she's going to be jumping though, she's too little."
"Oh, I give her hugs?"
"Of course you can. Remember we have to be gentle though, okay?"
"Otay. Papa you jump with me too?"
"Of course Addie Girl, we're all going to jump and then you can play with all the little kids too." Maks said. Nicole and Ilya had rented the jump park for the afternoon for Kalen's birthday. There was a trampoline zone as well as a bunch of inflatables that the kids could play on. They had invited kids from Kalen's kid group as well as family and friends. They had decided on renting out the place just for peace of mind as well as the fact that their group was so large.
"Tay." She said smiling happily. They pulled in then and headed into the building. They found Nicole and Ilya and said their hellos before moving to get their wristbands and learn the rules for the afternoon.
"K, sweet pea. Now, you can play but we need to make sure we can see you all the time." Peta explained as she helped Addie changed into the provided socks for the afternoon.
"Okay. I stay wif you and Papa. K?" She said as she hopped off the bench.
"Thank you baby." Peta said giving her a kiss.
"Now where are we going first miss?" Maks said taking her hand.
"To the lines!" She said dragging Maks and Peta over to the trampoline. They helped her on and began jumping with her. Maks helped her do some tricks and made her giggle. They spent the next hour playing around before they were all collected to do lunch, cake, & presents. Then they were turned back loose to play.
"Addie, you want to come play with me and Leo?" Kalen said as he took Addie's hand.
"Uhhh..." Addie said looking at Maks and Peta.
"You can play with them sweet pea. We'll be able to see you." Peta said encouraging her.
"Okay." Addie said as Leo took her other hand and they ran off to the trampolines next to the ball pit. Maks and Peta followed so they could stay near Addie. The kids were having a great time however Leo was being a little rougher than Maks would have like.
"Maks. Just wait." Peta said catching her husband's hand. Leo had just gotten a little rougher with Addie than Maks was okay with.
"But...." Maks said growling.
"Wait, Addie is telling him. Just give her a moment." Peta said as she watched Addie tell Leo something with her hands on her hips.
"Anything else and I'm going." Maks said with a growl.
"Okay. Calm down baby. He's 4." Peta said reminding her over protective husband.
"And she's my baby." Maks said fiercely. At that moment Leo pushed Addie backwards into the ball pit. Kalen dove in after her and Maks took off. Peta was caught off guard for all of ten seconds before she took off after her husband. By the time she reached him, he was giving Leo the lecture of his life while Kalen helped Addie out of the ball pit. She came over with tears streaming down her cheeks as Peta scooped her up.
"Shhhh, its okay sweet pea. You're okay. I know that was scary but you're safe." Peta said consoling her daughter.
"Papa." She sobbed however Maks didn't hear her as he was stilling yelling at Leo.
"Maks." Nicole said appearing next to them. She had seen what had happened as well and came over as quickly as she could. He didn't hear her either. "Maks!"
"What?!" He said spinning around.
"Addie wants you. I got this."
"He needs to apologize." He growled.
"He's going to. Go see Addie." Nicole said pushing him away from Leo as she stepped in.
"Come here Addie Girl." Maks said taking her from his wife. She buried into her father's neck as she held tight to him.
"I telled him to be nice." She whimpered.
"I know baby, he needs to learn some manners. And how to treat people." Maks said angrily.
"Maks." Peta admonished. Addie just needed loves right then not Maks's protectiveness.
"It's alright Addie Girl. Let's go get a drink and take a mini break before we play some more. Momma and I will take you on the slide again okay?" Maks said diverting her attention to the inflatable slide she had loved so much earlier.
"Apple juice?" She murmured with a slight yawn.
"Sure." Maks said as he started over to the drink table with his baby. Peta followed. They calmed her down before they took her to play some more. Leo came and apologized at that point. Peta keeping Maks from going off on the little boy again. Eventually it was time to go home and have some naps.
"That poor little boy that day." Peta said laughing hard as she remembered Maks's face and him storming over to the ball pit.
"Damn kid needed a lesson in manners and how to treat a girl." He said grumpily in response.
"You've always been so protective handsome."
"She's my baby, they both are. Hell, you all are. But those two. I swear, if anyone ever hurts them. No matter how old they are, they are going to have to deal with me." He said intensely. Peta cracked up as she leaned in to kiss him. He was such a great dad.
You're in the car on the way to the movies And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off At 14 there's just so much you can't do And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots But don't make her drop you off around the block Remember that she's getting older too And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little Oh darling, don't you ever grow up Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred And even though you want to, just try to never grow up
"Oh hell, I remember this one. I swear to god she hated me that day." Peta said pointing to a group picture of Addie with 4 of her best friends from 6th grade.
"Oh! I remember that fight. That was kind of the first time you two really fought." Maks said with wide eyes. He could see Peta and Addie yelling at each other in the hallway of the house that morning.
"Thank god it was one of our only ones. That was not fun." Peta said as she thought about that day.
"I can't believe you won't let me walk! You treat me like I'm Clara's age!" Addie screamed at Peta that day. She had just graduated from 6th grade the day before so she and a group of her friends were meeting at the movies.
"I don't understand why in the world you would even think that I would let you walk in the first place! We've never done that before, why in the world would we start now."
"Because I'm older! I'm 13! Why does my mom have to drop me off everywhere! I'm old enough to walk there."
"Right now you are acting like you're 4. So I suggest you either make a choice, let me take you or you can stay here and not go at all. You're choice Adeline." Peta said before walking away. Maks tried to catch her since he had been watching the fight from the kitchen however she waved him off and stormed out to the patio.
"She is being ridiculous Papa." Addie said turning and crossing her arms looking at him.
"Come here." Maks said beckoning his daughter to the kitchen.
"Are you going to lecture me too?" She said sassily.
"I was going to talk to you like an adult however if you want to continue the way you just acted with your mother, I will second her statement and you can spend the rest of the day in your room." Maks said sternly.
"Sorry." Addie said sheepishly. Maks very rarely raised his voice or talked like that with her. In reality they very rarely had any issues with the young girl however she did have her moments.
"It's okay. However, we need to talk about what just happened in there with your mother." Maks said as he leaned against the counter and watched his girl.
"I....I just wanted her to drop me off around the block. No one else gets dropped off right there or picked up right there. Their parents trust them that it's safe."
"Okay, first off. I could start with telling you that I guarantee you that not all those girls get dropped off around the block. I know for a fact Grace doesn't and I'm quite certain Lily doesn't either. You all may just get dropped off at different places of the theatre but I can guarantee you their parents don't drop them off and let them walk."
"Well, they told me they do."
"And have they ever lied to you before?"
"Not Grace."
"Okay, well Grace may have been doing what you were doing and been trying to look cooler."
"I wasn't..." Addie said but Maks stopped her.
"You were. I get it, trust me I do. It's okay to want to fit in, but it doesn't give you the right to yell at your mother."
"But she wouldn't listen to me."
"Because you were screaming at her. You know very well that if you scream at either of us no matter the reason, it is not going to get you very far."
"Fine." She said with a huff.
"And furthermore, you forget that as much as you hate it, you are our baby. And sometimes we need to hang on to that for a little bit longer than you're wanting us too. We aren't ready for you to grow up baby."
"But I can't stay little forever Papa." She said looking at him.
"I know, your mom knows, we all know however there's little things like this that really aren't that big of a deal in reality."
"But Christel says it's childish for our parents to drop us off."
"Do you agree?"
"I don't know. I really don't care. I don't mind Mom. She doesn't embarrass me." Addie said with a sigh.
"Exactly. So you need to be the cooler person and say that it's okay for her to drop you off. That it's cool to have a mom who you can hang with and not be embarrassed of." Maks said.
"You're right." Addie said softly.
"Now there's someone else you need to talk to." Maks said nodding towards the patio.
"Do I have too?" She said with a grimace.
"Addie Girl." Maks said laughing. He moved over to give her a hug.
"I know, I know. I'm going." She said hugging him back.
"One day, you'll believe us when we say we want to keep you little forever for many reasons."
"I know. It's just hard sometimes."
"We get it baby, we do. You just have to keep the sass at a lower level." Maks said hugging her once last time.
"I'll try papa." She said giving his cheek a kiss.
"Thank you. Now go talk to your mom." Maks said pushing her towards the patio. He watched as she slowly went out and leaned on the door frame before making her way towards Peta.
"Papa?" Clara's voice echoed from beside him.
"Yes little one?"
"Are they done fighting?" She asked with wide eyes. Maks chuckled and scooped her up before setting on her on the counter.
"They are. Addie just wanted to be a big girl and Momma wasn't ready for that."
"Oh. I'll stay your little one always okay?" Clara said hugging him.
"Thank you baby, I'll keep you that way. I'll have to take you to Never, Neverland so you won't grow up." He said tickling her and making her giggle.
"Can I meet Tink?" She said with wide eyes making Maks laugh. He could also hear laughter from the porch so he knew everything had went okay out on the porch as well.
"You never told me that part about Clara." Peta said as Maks talked about that day.
"I think we were so focused on you and Addie that we just let it be. It was definitely so cute though." Maks said smiling.
"Papa." Clara's voice came from the doorway.
"Hey little one, I thought you were watching your movie?" He asked looking up at her.
"I miss Addie." She said as her eyes filled with tears.
"Us too. Come here sweetheart." Maks said calling her over. She came over and settled on the other side of Maks with Sampson at her heels.
"Can't she just go to college at our house?"
"Well, that would defeat the purpose of college, little one."
"Well, but...I like when she's in the next room." Clara said with a huff.
"I know, but I promise it's going to get better. Remember she promised you she'd set aside weekends for you so you two could still have time. And you can text and facetime and call her. She's coming back next weekend for your meet remember?"
"I know...but still." She said grumpily as she just buried into Maks a little more mimicking her mother on the other side of his body.
Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home Remember the footsteps, remember the words said And all your little brother's favorite songs I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
"Maybe this will help." Maks said pulling the scrapbook closer to Clara.
"What is it?"
"Our family scrapbook." Maks said allowing her to flip through some of the pages.
"Whoa! We haven't looked at this forever. I didn't even know you still put pictures in it Mom." Clara said excitedly.
"Oh yeah, I definitely kept it up. I have some special ones in the house like our family trips and holidays but this was just simple memories. Papa and I were flipping through it because I was wishing your sister was still little again."
"Me too. Let's take her to Never, Neverland." Clara said making Maks laugh. She looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"We were just talking about a time when Addie and your Mom were fighting and I told you that you couldn't grow up and that I was taking you there. You were just excited to meet Tink."
"I love Tink."
"We know buttercup." Peta said with a wink making Clara scrunch her nose at her.
"Too bad it wasn't a real place." Clara said with a sigh as she flipped through the book.
"Yeah, that would be awesome."
"When was Addie's room all in the Tangled?!" Clara said as she flipped to a picture of her sister's room when it was done in full Tangled style.
"Probably when she was 3 or 4? Right Maks?" Peta said as she looked at the picture.
"I think so."
"Wow, I didn't know she had a whole room like that. Or that you took pictures of our rooms mom." Clara said as she saw her Little Mermaid room, Addie's flower room, her kitten room, and then their rooms they had now.
"I figured it would end up being something that we wouldn't always remember and it was a special part of the stages that made you guys you."
"This is from that time Papa went to help Baba after Deda's surgery isn't it?" Clara said as she found a photo of her and Addie holding a Welcome Home sign. Sasha had to have knee surgery when Clara was 4 and Maks ended up going to stay with his parents for 10 days while his dad initially recovered. At that time it was the longest the family had been apart and the girls were so excited for Maks to come home.
"It is. You two were so excited that day. I ended up letting Addie skip school because I knew there was no way for her to concentrate."
"You helped us bake that cake we burned before we went to the bakery and just bought cupcakes instead."
"Clara!" Peta said laughing.
"What?! It's what happened!"
"Yeah, but we never told your father that!" Peta said as she was laughing so hard that tears were falling down her cheeks.
"I knew you didn't make those!" Maks said as he looked at his wife indignantly. She and Addie had convinced him that by some miracle their welcome home cupcakes had turned out amazingly. Maks had doubted it ever since. Addie could could however it always seemed if Peta was near the kitchen it spelled disaster.
"Damn it. Well we had you believing it for 8 years." Peta said giggling as she wiped her eyes.
"Sorry momma!" Clara giggled some more before they continued through the book. Maks and Peta told Clara stories about the two of them that she hadn't heard before or didn't remember. There was the time that her and Addie had gotten into a tub of sugar and covered the kitchen in the sweet sugar. The day they had surprised the girls with Sampson. And when Clara had her first gymnastics meet the same day as Addie's dance competition but they managed to surprise Clara with Addie and Peta making it for her final event and awards.
So here I am in my new apartment In a big city, they just dropped me off It's so much colder that I thought it would be So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on Wish I'd never grown up I wish I'd never grown up
"Think there's room on that swing for me?" A voice came from the doorway. They all looked and saw Addie standing there in her pajama pants and hoodie. Her hair was tied up on her head and it was clear she had attempted bed.
"Addie!" Clara said jumping up and nearly tackling her sister. Sampson followed behind his ears flapping with his scampers.
"Hey Clar." Addie said holding her sister tightly.
"I'm so glad you're back." Clara whispered.
"Me too. Hey Sampson." Addie said bending down to pet their dog.
"Baby, is everything alright?" Maks said as he and Peta stood up looking at their daughter in concern.
"I'm okay. I just, I wasn't ready, and I needed one more night with you guys." She said sheepishly.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you sweetheart but you have orientation in the morning." Peta said as she moved over to hug her daughter.
"I know, I have to be back at 10 but I just...I needed one last official night here in my bed." She said clinging to Peta for a bit longer.
"Alright." Maks said moving over to his girl as well and pulling her in tight.
"Tomorrow, I'll grow up okay?" She said as she held tight to her parents for a moment. Truth be told she had gotten everything situated and was fully prepared for this new chapter in her book. However when she went to settle down for the night, she couldn't fight the homesickness. So after a huge mental battle she had decided to return home for one last night. Thankfully her college was only 25 minutes away. However when you really hadn't been away from home 25 minutes suddenly becomes oceans apart.
"Alright, but you always remember, no matter what, you never have to grow up with us. We'll always be here to catch you or back you up when you need." Peta said kissing her cheek and rubbing her back.
"Thanks mom." Addie said as she rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
"Let's show Addie the book." Clara said as she reached for her sister's hand and pulled her to the swing. The family settled down and started going through the book again, squeezing in one last night before Addie officially went off to college in the morning, for real this time.
**Hope you guys loved this one. This was a fun one to write for sure. I love doing the little snippets of this family. And to be quite honest, the thought of Addie in college chokes me up as well as silly as that sounds. Don't forget to like this one up and let me know what you thought in the comments. Love you guys. Thank you so much for keeping this story alive and allowing me to write this family for so long.

The Happy List 1/3
Hi, friends! How are we? Are we ready for another year? Or still wearing onesie pajamas around the house breaking down boxes from Christmas? I’m a little bit of both, but I’m excited to dive in to what plans to be a very exciting year. After polling lots of followers on Instagram Stories, I found that you’re most excited to see everyday DIY ideas, more savory options, and a good mix of recipes and tablescapes. Ask and you shall receive! While I’m gearing up to shoot lots of new content, I wanted to pop in with a new happy list. A simple list of things that make me happy – one of my favorite series here on the blog.
Kalen Reacts. He reacts to cooking videos and will have tears streaming down your face.
SO many of you messaged me that you received the book for Christmas. Thank you to everyone, especially those that took a moment to leave a review on Amazon (they really help, friends)!
I’m currently reading The One Thing and The Wisdom of Sundays (from Oprah). So far so good so if you’re in the need for a little motivation, these are winners!
I adore motivational quotes. The copper foil quote above is from Etsy, you can find the print here!
Splurged on this Bobbi Brown set (I’m not one to ever spend a lot on products like this) but it’s genuinely amazing. Worth it!
This was a dinner winner this week for the family!
This sweet little video gives me all the feelings! A+ UPS!
Also, this Dad taking his little one to get shots. So cute!
These earrings continuously make me happy. BEST GIFT EVER.
I love a good home tour!
Making this for the Super Bowl this year. Yes, I KNOW it’s still a long way away, but I start thinking about the food very early since that’s the only reason I watch it anyway.
This post is going nuts on the blog lately, lots of husband’s must have birthdays coming up?!
I’ll leave you with a little more motivation to dive right into this new year!
“You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.” – Mark Victor Hansen
“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” —George Herbert
“Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.” —Sam Levenson
