Sanders Sides Secret Santa Gift

Surprise @canadiantardis​!!! I’m you’re secret Santa for @sanderssides-secretsanta​ event! I’m very happy I was able to complete this gift for you as it was a very fun time. I will say it was a bit rushed, hehehe, but I still hope you like them. :3 First is the Soulmate AU you wished for. Ship is Moxiety since I also like that one as well. I’ve never written a fanfic on this kind of topic, but I had a few friends help me brainstorm. 

A Promise to Love You In this world you can always tell when someone has found their soulmate because their hair has changed to the color of an anime protagonist. Like straight up neon green for some people. Virgil just shivered at the thought of being stuck with such a bright color for the rest of his life. No thanks!

He was chilling on the sofa as he scrolled through his social medias’ waiting still on his new roommate to show up. The other guy had finally graduated from university and was moving back home to be with family. So now Virgil had a spare room to rent out to hopefully someone that could remember to clean the dishes at least three times a week. Virgil gave a huff leaning backwards over the sofa arm to check out the clock in the kitchen behind him. 1:34 PM...whoever this new guy was he was not the punctual type. Which wasn't the worst thing since sometimes this Stormcloud needed a big gust of wind to even get himself out of bed.

Usually, in the form of one of his peppier friends not knowing how to knock or his Nightmare Before Christmas alarm clock blaring at him. Whatever, he thought as he continued scrolling. There were a few articles trending about how soulmate encounters were increasing this holiday season. People finding that special someone and pressing their pinkies together to form their symbol. He looked at his and frowned. “Cute...yeah right. Not like I’m ever going to find my soulmate.”

For as long as Virgil could remember strangers would gush over his symbol. It was half of a purple colored heart. They’d say things like, “Wow, I wish I had a heart as my symbol” or “You’re so lucky! I heard a heart means your love will be really special.” Crap like that really made Virgil uncomfortable. He barely went outside as it is, how in the world was he supposed to find someone who’d like a recluse like him? For the time being he avoided those tags related to soulmates and went to listening to music as he waited.

--------- Patton, poor, poor Patton had been stuck in a taxi for the past hour and a half; squeezing the life out of his small bag of essentials, while the rest of his items shuffled in the back trunk. Now he never considered himself an impatient person, but the trip here had been riddled with flight delays, lost luggage, and helping a little girl with her cat being stuck in a tree. So this situation was just the tip of the iceberg. If anything he was probably one of the most considerate people on the planet as he got ready to jump ship. “Here, please take what I owe you. I’m already running late and I don’t have time to wait anymore. Sorry.”

The taxi driver, luckily, understood as he took his payment and let Patton out. Now he was a lone man with a bag strapped over his shoulder and an additional three to each side of him. All those days he skipped exercising came flooding in from his memories and regret was setting in as he trudged his way to his newly rented room a couple blocks away.

--------- Now staring at a clock resting at 2:15 PM, Virgil finally heard a knock at the door. “Finally!” He huffed exasperated. A million thoughts about chewing this guy out or acting cocky with him swirled in his mind, only to instantly vanish as he opened the door to an exhausted man gasping for breath on his front porch. First thought was, what? Second thought was, is he okay? Third thought, oh he’s pretty cute!

Patton was a little shorter than Virgil. His hair had curled ends and looked soft to the touch. Freckles painted his reddened face from the hiking trip he just took to get here as he worked on putting a smile on his face. “H-hi there. If y-you give me a minute I can...introduce myself.”

Virgil froze, his social anxiety crawling up his back as he debated with himself whether to let Patton in first, just grab his things, say hi back, get him some water, ask him out, etc. He was staring at the ground feeling anxious when suddenly a hand appeared right before his eyes. A hand? Oh shoot this was the guys hand right?

Patton was now smiling softly at Virgil with his hand extended out towards him in a friendly gesture. He had picked up on Virgil’s indecisiveness and decided for himself to initiate the greeting to keep things simple. Also so neither of them were awkwardly stuck on the porch all day. Now all Virgil needed to do was shake Patton’s hand like regular people do when meeting others face-to-face. Gingerly, he raised and took the hand in front of him to shake when a spark made him retract instantly. “W-what was that?!”

Both of their eyes were wide as they examined their hands. Nothing seemed weird, just static electricity? That’s when Virgil could hear a tiny gasp escape the other man’s mouth. “What? What is it?” “Y-your hair! It’s turned kind of purple at the tips.” “It’s done what now?!”

Virgil quickly pulled out the pocket mirror he always had on him in case his eyeliner messed up as he tilted it upwards to the tip of his bangs. The strands really had turned purple, a really nice deep purple too. He was kind of mesmerized by it until the reality of the situation set in. His hair had just changed colors...did that mean that him and this guy?

Immediately, Virgil glanced at the strangers hair and there it was; Pink! Pink strands of slightly curled hair bouncing along with the slight breeze outside. “No way.” He whispered as he took his new roommate's hand and examined it. Patton didn’t move a muscle. He knew what was going on after seeing the color appear in Virgil’s hair. Although, it was all still sinking in for him as well. Was this cutie really his soulmate, was this really happening now when he’s covered in sweat and looking disheveled? Patton blushed feeling embarrassed as his new roommate kept touching his hand. Finally the silence was cut between them as Virgil found what he was looking for.

“You...you’re my...wow...um, sorry...I.” This was so unreal, like a freaking movie or something! Virgil was lost for words as he blushed. “I-It’s okay...I’m also really surprised. My name’s Patton by the way. I’m so sorry for being late to move in today. It’s been...crazy.” Patton gave a chuckle at his choice of words. This was indeed crazy.

Virgil laughed along, feeling more at ease as he finally let go of Patton’s hand and started carrying in his things. “Understatement of the year.” He teased carrying them up into the vacant room. Though, quickly coming back down to sit with Patton on the sofa.

“I’m Virgil and I guess...your soulmate too? Damn, sorry this is really new and strange to me. It doesn’t even feel real honestly.” He was mumbling to himself until he felt that familiar soft hand touch his. “Like you see in the movies right?” “Right.” “Then, like in the movies, we should finish the connection between us.” Patton then held up his pinkie, in the same manner one does a pinkie promise. But, Virgil was hesitant. “A-are you sure you want someone like me? I mean we’ve just met and…” “And?” “It’s just really fast is all. I’m not the most confident guy.” He curled up into his hoodie trying to hide his expression. Patton found this cute though. In his eyes Virgil was like a big cat that hadn’t gotten enough love in its life. “I’m not going to force you Virgil, but that first moment we shared at the door. That feeling when our hands touched for the first time. It was special. You’re special, I could tell that in an instant.” “I’m special? You really think that?” “I do. I also felt like I may never find my soulmate because I’ve always given a lot of my own love away to others who needed it, but never really had any luck in finding someone who could return what I gave. With you Virgil, I feel like you have a lot of love to give and receive.” “T-then are you saying you like me?” Patton smiled and gave Virgil a slight peck on the cheek and giggled. “Yeah I do. I like you Virgil. I’m your soulmate after-all.”

Virgil blushed bright red, but relief swept over him as he got his pinkie out and smiled. “Okay then.” Feeling more secure from Patton’s words, Virgil pressed the side of his pinkie into Patton’s to form a heart shaped symbol that turned the rest of Virgil’s hair purple and Patton’s pink. Both now had a full heart, matching their colors on their pinkies. “Guess I’ve upgraded from roommate to boyfriend huh?” Patton smirked, hugging into Virgil’s chest. He nodded feeling shy; this was going to take some getting used to.

The End

Second, please also enjoy some art I did for the ending scene: 

Happy Holidays!

Quarantine Q&A

I was tagged by @queenrisa14 which whaaaaaaa!? God when will the Sally Fields "they like me!!!" feeling go away when ever I am tagged in anything? Does it ever? I'm always stunned people are aware of my existence. Thanks girl! Anywho!

Are you staying home from work/school?

Soooooooo, about this. Hehehe. I was working. I was considered essential. To the point that my 4 day a week job turning into 7 days a week, 12 hours a day for TWENTY days straight. It took a toll. On me and my kids. So, because my kids are now out of school for the rest of the school year, my schedule not allowing for any flexibility or a leave of absence, I put in notice last week and my last day was Monday night. I felt really good about it, felt free, came home tuesday morning and filed for unemployment on grounds of childcare needs (which was immediately flagged 🙄😭) and slept. Today was a new day, started cleaning my house for the first time in over a month...... and it went down hill from there. Horrendous night and not feeling great about the uphill battle that will be getting my kids (and husband) back on track. TL;DR yes I'm home, it's a mess.

If you're staying home, who's with you?

That would be my 5 children, my oldest daughter is 11 (dear God tween hormones are no joke!) and my 4 sons, who are 9, 7, 5, and 3. My husband is still working and I miss him during the day and wanted to boot him out tonight. Sigh.

Are you a homebody?

Yes!!! I'm an introvert. If I was well and truly alone, I would never need to leave my house. I have no issues with the idea of ordering groceries online, I just ordered my first ever iPad online and I'm trying to navigate buying glasses and contacts online (PM me with links of websites if you've done this and had a good experience). I just need Amazon to get their shit together and ship my stuff! This isn't the 90's it doesn't need to take a month to get me something. Gah! Also, if I could figure out how to get my ADHD diagnosis from home via telemedicine that would be greeeeeeeeat. Seriously never want to leave my house again.

What movies have you watched recently?

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!! Omg you think I watch movies... That's adorable. Yea, noooo. The last movie I watched was Frozen 2 when it hit Disney+ a month ago. I am, however trying to gear myself up emotionally for watching Avengers Infinity War and Endgame this Sunday. It's been a year..... I'm still not ok. And I haven't watched since that fateful day in the theaters. No seriously, I cried last night just hearing the opening notes to the IW TRAILER! The trailer y'all. "There was an idea....." 😭😭 Ugly sob.

Shows?

Umm, I was watching Outlander at work. I binge watched the first four seasons in like a month back in January. Couldn't wait for season 5 and lost all steam once it started. I dunno. I think it's the Brianna story line. Other than that I honestly throw on Downton Abbey or Victoria again when I need something to watch. (can you tell I have a thing for accents...) I'd love to binge watch in order from the beginning The Big Bang Theory! If anyone knows where I can get the series to stream, let me know. I've watched it out of order for years and years and love it so much but seeing it start to finish sounds like a perfect quarantine activity.

What event was cancelled that you were looking forward to?

My kids going to school on a daily basis?? Lol. No, you know what's funny. I've never gone, didn't have plans to go, but I actually shed a tear when they cancelled Comic Con 2020 in San Diego. I was hoping to go next year so it was a mix of disappointment over not streaming this year's panels/the historical significance of there not being one and feeling like next year is now unattainable because all the 2020 ticket holders will get that one? It's weird and all hypothetical and stupid. Honestly I'm a mom and I don't get to do anything. The most exciting thing on my "to-do" list that was postponed was the Black Widow movie. I have waiting 10 goddamn years for my girl to get a solo movie! TEN YEARS!!!! I needed this to distract from the 1 year anniversary of losing Tony Stark Endgame. Gah. I'm also holding my breath that Sailor Moon Crystal the movie doesnt get postponed from September to God knows when. And my October trip to Orlando for Girl Scouts USA Convention isn't canceled. I'm going to Disney World!! If Florida isn't stup.... Yea ok. 😑😒😞

What Music are you listening to?

My Seiya playlist. I have a playlist of music that I think Seiya would sing. Cuz I love him and he's cheeky and in my head he's a weird mix of Adam Levine and Brendon Urie and that's what the playlist is full of. And this one song by Dermot Kennedy called Outnumbered that is just, IMO Seiya's parting words to Usagi. That and I'm kind of obsessed with Dance Monkey by Tones and I.

What are you reading?

Other than articles about the CARES act regarding unemployment benefits, reviews of cases and accessories for my new iPad Pro (it's the 12.9 and I had no idea I bought the big one and that it's basically a touch screen iMac and I'm overwhelmed with trying to find something to protect it from my children....) or homeschool tips and tricks for kids with autism.......

So help me God, I am reading The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru if it freaking kills me. It's been on my to-read list for freaking ever and I am dying that I haven't read it yet. And kind of hating myself. Come on KT, get your ish together sis!!! I'm sorry @floraone !!

What are you doing for self-care?

I quit my job for one. That was the ultimate self-care move. That and for my kids.

Also, Online shopping? I have purchased things for myself that I have never done before. Makeup which is so fun. Like I bought the whole Sailor Moon makeup collection from Colour Pop. I got my first Morphe palette. And big girl concealer from Tarte. Yaaaaas! My iPad and all the pink accessories I can find. A pink throw blanket because my kids have a million blankets but we have no throw blankets for the couch. What the hell? And my favorite thing, I bought a bunch of stuff from teepublic with my profile picture on it from the artist @briannacherrygarcia (seriously her work is amazing! Go check her out, I can't get enough) that created it. I mean, how cool is that. I'm usually too poor to support the content creators for which I am so grateful for. After working three 84hr weeks, I figured I deserved to splurge on something that wasn't in anyway shape or form a need. A pure joyful want. Cant be excused as anything else. It felt so good. I got stickers and an art print and a coffee mug (because coffee mugs are my favorite thing and I somehow do not have enough of them so if anyone wants to send me pretty coffee mugs!) And a hoodie!! I'm so excited.

That last question is amazing. I was feeling so down and overwhelmed by just how bad my home and everyone in it was doing after I was working so much. I am not exaggerating saying it going to take weeks to put this back together and help my kids get used to having rules and structure again. Because it wasn't gonna be a quick fix I was hating life. But listing all the ways that I managed to take care of me, something I never do, because that's what I needed the last month to literally survive, reminded me that I am in a good place and that I have time now to get this done. It took a month to get to this level of chaos it only stands to reason that it's probably gonna take a month to put it back. And shit it's not like we're going anywhere. What's the rush? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks @queenrisa14 for this! This was great and fun and so needed for my psyche. I tag anyone on my follows list who hasn't done this. Do it and say I tagged you.

MamaLK says take care of you and the rest will fall into place! 😘

Illyrian Fae AU - Damian Wayne x Reader Headcanon

Summary: Most humans should be indoors before the sun sets, but you, on the other hand, get held up at work. Will you make it safely back home or does certain doom come into your future.

A/N: Hello hello hello, it’s been a good minute since I’ve done a headcanon let alone actually post anything in over a month. Hehehe... I’m sorry. I’ve been working on other stories, one you guys have been asking me to post for the past six months. ( It’s Tim’s version of WttDCU, I swear I haven’t abandoned it, just that story I’m doing a little differently, and it keeps getting longer the more I try, so maybe I’ll make it two parts? Maybe 3? IDK perhaps longer?) But anyway I’ve been mulling this idea over in my head the past few months, and so I’m doing another series, but this time the boys are all different mythical creatures. Plus if you’ve read A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, then you’d know this is where I got the idea to make Damian a fae with bat wings. I’m very cheesy. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you guys think! Love Y'all! Also, I don’t think this needs to be said but I’m doing so anyway, this is an Older Damian Wayne.

Most days you can make it home with enough time to make sure that there was still sunlight outside so you would have enough time to buy groceries if you wanted and make it back in relative safety before things got bad.

Tonight was not one of those nights.

Plus you needed to get a bag of dog food because you ran out the night before and you didn’t have anything else for the big German Shepherd that is probably snoozing on the couch at this very moment.

You had got out of work fairly late today, but the sun was still out, so you prayed to the gods that you’d make home before any creature, beast or ill-intended human, were out and about.

But as you walked outside the doors, plastic bags of groceries hanging in each of your hands, the pink and now mostly purple hues of dusk were there to welcome you.

Cursing under your breath, you now wished you had gone to the apartment and brought along Ember with you, he’d be able to ward off any unwanted attention.

Sadly, you didn’t have your dog, and you had to take the walk home alone.

Oh how you wished you just went home, you thought.

Walking along the sidewalk, you watched the sunset, your pace along with your pulse hurrying the more it fell in the sky.

You weren’t fast enough.

You were a mere few feet away from your apartment complexes entrance before you were pulled into the dark alleyway, head banging against the brick wall you were pushed up against.

Too stunned to move you felt your assailant’s body press you up on the wall, breathing along your neck.

A vampire, you thought, your fight or flight response flaring up as you now struggle as hard as you could.

Which did absolutely nothing to release you from his grip.

”No use fighting, Little Morsel,” The male takes a good whiff of your neck, opening his mouth to reveal his pointed fangs. “I’m starving.”

Just as you thought that he was going to stick his teeth into you, a force pulled off the vampire and without anything now holding you up, you slid down the wall watching the scene in front of you with shocked eyes.

The vampire was now aggressively fighting against your rescuer, but he was no match for the sheer power he was up against.

The fight was too fast for your human eyes, other than a few glimpses of the two going across the whole alleyway.

And as fast as it started, it ended with the now limp body of the vampire being haphazardly thrown away from your rescuer, a piece of wood from a crate at the dead end of the alleyway poking out of his chest.

The male's back was facing you, looking at the body of the vampire.

But your eyes weren’t looking at that, but the large memberous black wings of a bat that were folded neatly to his back in the tight alleyway, but they trailed upward, your mind going a mile a minute as you saw his pointed ears.

Fae. Illyrian.

Strong by blood and warrior by culture and species, oh man what did you get yourself into?

Usually, they’d stay as far away from humans as possible. Why the hell did he help you?

Slowly pushing yourself up on the wall, you were about to high-tail it out of there, but then you see a large gash on his leg.

And you hesitate.

Oh, you were going to regret this.

”H-Hey, are you okay?”

Turning his head slightly his electric green eyes give you an odd look.

”Shouldn’t you be running home now, girl?” His face held a deadpan expression.

”You’re the one bleeding here, not me,” You said, a slight bite sneaking into your voice.

”And you’re a walking blood bag out in the open at night.”

This male has got to be joking.

”Dude, you are literally bleeding,” You motion to his leg with your hand, “I know that the Vamps don’t like the taste of Fae, but the starving ones will eat just about anything,”

He turned around, his mouth opening to say something else but he stumbles slightly as he uses his injured leg.

He catches himself on the wall, cursing under his breath.

Sighing, you slowly step closer, “Look, my apartment is the next building, I got a first-aid kit that you could use.”

”Why.” Was his emotionless response.

You could feel your eye twitch, “Because you are bleeding out in the open, Vampire Chow.”

He lets out an amused chuckle, ”Heh, look at who is talking, human.”

So this is how you end up helping a 200 something pound mass of muscle and wings, up the staircase and into your apartment.

Ember was shocked and terrified of the Illyrian Fae that was now taking his spot on the couch.

You had left to find the kit in your bathroom, and when you came back to the living room, where you found them in the same place you had left them, staring each other down,

There was a lot of malice coming from Ember’s end.

None was coming from the Fae’s, just a hint of confusion as he sat with his wings hanging off the back of the couch.

Geez, he was huge.

”He’s just protective,” You say, putting the supplies on the couch next to him, “Most of the time he’s a couch potato though,”

He lets out a grunt in understanding, so you take this time to get the wound cleaned out.

”Hey aren’t these things supposed to heal on their own though?” You say starting to disinfect the wound.

”Vampires have a venom that makes it harder for a wound to close,” His voice was condescending as if you should have known this by now.

”Huh,” Was all you responded, now putting an ointment that would close the wound in a couple of hours.

You have got to love a witches’ potion that helps instead of harm.

Once you finished wrapping up his wound, he didn’t stay long; he left saying that he would be fine since his wings were just fine.

He didn’t even say thank you.

But whatever, you just were ready to put this day behind you, grateful to be alive.

A couple of weeks pass, and unfortunately, you find yourself in the same predicament as you did before, stuck out in the night alone.

”You seriously are as stupid as you look.” A voice says less than an inch from the back of your ear.

You let out an undignified yelp, turning around to face the smug look of the Illyrian’s face.

”D-Don’t do that!” You squeak.

”Well don’t be out at night, stupid human.”

Your eyes narrow, “FIrst off I ain’t stupid, I just have the worst luck ever, and what the hell are doing here dude?”

”Making sure you make it back in one piece, wouldn’t want Ember to be left alone.”

This took you off guard. “Okay Bats, my dog was giving you the stink eye the whole time you were there, why would you care?”

”There are only two truly innocent beings out there, animals and children. Last time I checked your dog counts as one,” Again he goes with the whole attitude bit

That left you speechless and motionless.

You only snapped back to reality when he grabbed you by the arm and started to drag you to your apartment.

”Yo, I don’t need you to walk me there!” You say, surprising yourself when you were able to pull yourself away.

He turned his head slightly, “Well I’m the best bet you got from the two humans waiting to mug you just around the next block.”

”Wait- How-”

”Fae ears, girl.”

”Of freaking course…”

So the two of you now set off towards the apartment, and when you pass the block, you see two men at the entrance of the alley, who back up once they see the Fae’s strong wings displayed defensively.

Rolling your eyes, you mutter, “Got to love Gotham…”

Bats’ only reaction was a smug half-smile that stayed on his face as he made sure you made it to the apartment safely.

This cycle continued every time you had to work late and weren’t able to make it home before the sunset.

Hell one time he just lifted you and flew you home.

You weren’t happy about it, and you might have given him a good kick in the stomach.

He was an ass for the rest of the night.

Though he never just up and carried you away, he learned his lesson.

But unfortunately, it was happening more often than you were leaving work late.

And he noticed.

”Seriously, why do you keep doing this to yourself, stupid human?” He questioned, clearly annoyed.

You groan in exasperation, “Can you stop calling me that?! I’ve got a name, and I don’t have a damn choice.”

”What do you mean you don’t have a choice,” He questions, pulling you to look at him. “And you’ve never have given me your name.”

”If I don’t do what I need to do then I get fired, do you know how hard I worked to get that job? Extremely!” You yell, yanking your arm from his grip and walking away from him, “Plus, you never gave me yours so why should I give you mine?”

You hear him growl behind you, walking to catch up.

”It’s Damian, are you happy now?” He said, standing in front of you.

You stop, looking into his fiery green eyes, not able to hold their gaze for long, the rest of the walk spent in silence until you make it to the door of your complex.

But before you do, he stops you by grabbing your wrist and with the other, he puts a card in it.

”Call this number, tell them that you’re looking for a position and that I recommended you to them.”

You stand there, looking at the card until you feel him pull him away, turning his back to leave.

”W-Wait, Damian!” You stutter, “It’s (Y/N),”

He turns around a surprised expression on his face until a small smile grows across his face as he extends his wings and with a powerful thrust, he’s gone.

The next day you call the number on the card, and before you knew it, you have a job interview.

A couple of days later you were now the new employee at Wayne Enterprises.

And while there was a lot of work, you were a lot better there than you were at your old job.

You would miss the nightly walks that you would have with Damian though, oddly enough.

But you didn't have to wait long before you saw him again.

This time though, he was knocking at your fire escape window a couple of hours after you got home.

Laughing slightly, you opened the window, “Guess you missed me, Dami,”

”You know what, I prefer Bats better.” He says, getting himself in.

”Too bad, this one has now stuck to you.” You joke.

Rolling his green eyes, you felt a sort of fondness from them.

”You look better by the way, less stressed,” He states plainly, sitting on your couch.

”Yeah, thanks for that by the way.” You say next to him, “You didn’t need to do that,”

”It’s safer for you.” He says plainly.

”Still, thank you, Damian.” You smile towards him, feeling at ease with him with you.

”It’s no problem, (Y/N).” When his eyes meet yours, you felt almost an electric charge by the way he was looking at you.

Then a question pops into your mind ”Oh by the way how did you-”

”That is for me to know and you to find out.”

Ugh, how you hate the whole mysterious and cryptic crap.

For the rest of the night, you guys talked, watched a movie and Damian even got to pet Ember for once.

But throughout the night he took glimpses of you, sometimes you’d catch him, but others you didn’t.

Oh if only you knew what was going on in his mind.

He left before dinner, said he had things to do before the night was done.

This was now the new tradition you guys had he’d come to your house and chill out, and then he’d leave before dinner.

Then came the day of the Wayne Gala that all the employees were invited to.

After your lunch break, you found a jewelry box on top of your desk.

Inside, you found a silver necklace with a silver chain and a pendant with a green stone in the center and surrounding it were clear crystals, making a circle around it.

Plus there was a matching pair of earrings.

And they looked like real diamonds and emeralds, but you were kind of too scared to think of them as real because who would give them to you????

Looking around there was no one else there as you were the first one there back from lunch, so you put it in your purse and got to work.

Anyway, the event was held every year at the Wayne manor, and you were nervous as you got ready for it.

Standing in front of your mirror, in a beautiful but simple black dress with the short sleeves hanging off your shoulders.

It was sexy but elegant, and something that you would typically not wear, but you were rocking it.

After putting on your makeup, you eye the jewelry box, debating on wearing them or not.

The next thing you knew, they were on you, and you were ready to go.

At the gala, you were talking to one of your coworkers, a Were who was a mother of two who took this opportunity to take a break from the kids when you felt an arm tap your shoulder.

Turning around, you see a man with bright blue eyes and a roguish smile, holding out his hand. “Would you care to dance?”

Before you could answer a no, you felt a muscled arm wrap itself around your waist possessively.

”No Jason, she wouldn’t,” Damian said, pulling you closer.

To your surprise, the man smiled knowingly and with a joking undertone said, “Oh man, Dami, look at you growing up.”

With a growl Damian walks the two of you away, his hold never faltering.

Okay, you were in need of answers, and now.

He must see it in your face because he stops you guys in an empty part of the manor.

”Okay, Damian talk.”

And to your surprise he does.

Turns out Damian is only half fae, his father is pure mortal, while his mother is Illyrian.

He has a crap ton of siblings, all of then a different species.

But the thing that freaked you out the most didn’t even come out of his mouth but from two spying brother’s who knew what Damian was avoiding trying to tell you.

”You guys are mates!” You hear a male voice say, then a clear “OW” right afterward.

Both yours and Damian's eyes widen, and you can physically see Damian pale in horror, which was a first for everyone in that room.

He wanted to tell you, but he didn’t think you’d want to be with him, at least like that.

He felt something the night he rescued you.

He grew suspicious of it when he’d grow protective while walking down the street.

And for awhile he knew that the connection between the two of you was there when you told him your name.

But the burden was his to bare if you didn’t accept it.

He just wanted to you to be happy, and if wasn’t with him then he’d find a way to live with it.

You were shocked, you had heard about how some faes had a connection snapped with a female, how they’d form a mental bond if they both accept each other as theirs.

But it made sense to you, it just felt right.

Damian didn’t speak much after that; you saw evident anger in his eyes that wasn’t directed at you but towards the voice around the corner. (It was Jason with Dick by the way.)

The two of you didn’t stay long after that.

You were about to order an Uber before Damian just lifted you off and flew you off to your apartment.

This time you didn’t kick him.

Again it was just an unsettling quiet between the two of you.

It was off-putting.

Once he landed on the fire escape, he let you down, but he wouldn’t meet your gaze.

”Damian…” You say, not knowing where to start.

”Look, if you don’t want anything to do with me like that,” He lets out a shaky breath, “Then I’ll leave you be,”

”But Damian-”

”I just want you to be happy (Y/N), even if it’s not with me-” He was interrupted by your hand on his cheek, pulling his face to look at yours.

”Damian, I want to be with you,” You state, caressing his cheek. “Come inside, I haven’t eaten anything all night, and I’m pretty sure you haven’t either.”

”(Y/N), you know what that means, right?”

Yep, you did, it means that you’d except the bond.

”I wouldn’t be offering if I didn’t.” You say, a smile growing on your face.

He kisses you, pouring his soul into it, and that night you guys finally became one.

» navigation 

what it’s like to date chan from stray kids (based on my assumptions)

──────✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ──────

─ • OVERALL:

- soft and cuddly and constantly “annoying” you with hugs

- so much pda in private and around the members but barely anything on v-live (he’s still shy)

- always checking up on you and asking if everything is okay

- “do you like this place? do you like me doing this? are you happy if i-”

- “chris, for the hundredth time, yes.”

- he converts your style into all black, just like his (he didn’t even try, either)

- constant pick up lines because he is a dad

- flowers. teddy bears. the corny stuff.

- can’t wait to bring you home to meet his family and berry

- POUTS. A LOT. usually bc you aren’t willing to cuddle him and you have work to do

- doesn’t distract you from work or school. he understands that if you give him space then he should too, which he does naturally since he has such a workload on his back already

- speaking of work, he sure is a workaholic

- like literally everyday he just comes to the dorm or your place and just falls onto the bed, and it’s usually at 3-4 a.m.

- well, that’s what he wants to do. oftentimes he phones you because you can’t don’t want to fall asleep without him (and even though you tell him he doesn’t have to do that since he’s tired he always call you to hear your voice since there’s no better way to end his day than that)

- he’ll wait until you’ve fallen asleep or if you need to go to end the call. other than that he rarely ends it himself

- when you finally meet up he just holds you. constantly

- like you’re always on his lap or under his arm or just touching yk

- deep inside he’s scared to let go - what if you leave? though it’s silly to him, that’s the way he views it. and the numerous times you’ve said that you won’t only makes him hold you closer

- but yeah when you are on his lap, though, you’re usually resting your head on his shoulders or tracing shapes on his chest or both 

- bringing takeout to the studio for him is a routine

- and lets you wear his chains and bracelets

- as much as you want to stay you get that he needs to be alone to focus better so after you bring him lunch you’d chat for a bit, possibly eat if he has the time, have a few kisses here and there and then go watch the other boys practice or somewhere else

- he’s so chill about you being friends with the members though like

- well yeah he does cuddle and touch you more around them but like obvs let him show off

- felix is jealous he’s found someone who speaks english lol (assuming that’s what you’ll speak with him)

- and chan, as much as he doesn’t want to admit it, gets jealous too (and it’s very obvious) just not with the members 

- but man if he finds out your previous bias was someone that wasn’t chan, he’ll be (jokingly) on the look out

- after the day is done you’ll give him a massage <3 usually it was only after long days of work but now long days became ALL days instead

- his neck’s always so tense. that’s where you kiss him the most, too.

- true AuSSiE accent comes out when he rants. he’ll do it in korean too but the swearing is ONLY in english. “sounds more effective” according to him. huh.

- but still shy to swear around you. you keep calling him pure and he’s waiting to show you how little innocence he has (just..not yet)

- asks your opinion on songs. you’re always the first to listen hehe

- is your best friend, basically

─ • DATES YOU GO ON:

- honestly, to get away from his hectic life you’d usually take a stroll in the park or take a walk by a riverside or somewhere nice and calm to stray away from his endless thoughts

- probably end up at a coffee shop, too. sitting by the window you’ll chatter away or simply enjoy each other’s presence in calm. he’ll be holding your hand and tracing circles on the top of it

- he occasionally treats you to expensive dinner dates and as much as he wants to do that more often he really can’t

- and can’t in general he’s got such a workload

- but most of the time you’re either in some park or at home, chilling

- also a lot of cuddling on his stupid creaky bed. felix joins you, too, he’s like your pet at this point

─ • PET NAMES:

- will pout and whine ‘babyyyyyyyy’ while smothering you in a hug

- ‘babe’ ‘princess’ ‘honey’ ‘darling’ ‘baby girl’ literally anything bro

- will also think of cringe shit like ‘honey buns’ and ‘cinnammon apple\ because he saw it in a vine once

- you call him king, baby, babe, prince, pup (he dies at the last one it does something to him)

- instant cuddle mode if you call him pup like genuinely the sub comes out (just look at the gif below oh my days)

─ • WHILE ON TOUR:

- i honestly don’t think he’ll change much? like he continues with the pet names and calling you until you fall asleep

- just he’s more confident in the jokes and pick up lines he says since you can’t see him blush

- but he’ll also check the timezones and text you good morning and good night if he wasn’t able to call

- when you don’t call, he sends you messages on how his day went and you do the same so both of you know what’s going on

- will make lil videos and send to you as well uwu

- and the other members will interrupt your calls, especially 3racha and hyunjin

- and they keep teasing you allllll the tiiiimeeeeee (but you love it, obviously, hehe)

─ • ARGUING/MAKING UP:

- as calm and collected and cool and chill as chris may seem he can and will snap.

- he tries not to, believe me, but little things tick him off, especially after a long day at work

- “oh my god y/n/ can you please...just...” he’ll begin but trail off when he realizes he sounds mean, then groans and rubs his temples

- like maybe you put his folded laundry in a different space than usual or toasted the wrong bread and yes its silly but thats what the sparks it

- will bite his tongue and the inside of his cheeks to stop himself

- like that’s the worst feeling tho - when u make him mad (even though he’s undeniably hot)

- he isn’t mad, he’s disappointed. at you if it’s evidently your fault, and at himself if its anything else. he wants to seem strong and collected but he sometimes can’t help but get ticked off

- he gets quiet, usually leans onto something/his arm onto the table or wall with his head slightly hanging down, thinking

- if its too much pressure he’ll leave, more for his own sake than anything else

- doesn’t like going to bed angry but will if he needs to prove a point. he believes the morning is clearer than night

- will never kick you out or tell you to ‘fuck off’. ever. that’s a different type of low for him

- you both end up talking it through, but it takes a little bit for him to go back to how things were before the argument, or rather how HE was

- does take a walk to clear his head or goes to the studio to let it out if its serious

─ • NSFW:

- pretty vanilla in practice, but in theory...this guy’s head is everywhere. he wants to try everything 

- takes control. a natural leader. usually a soft dom

- probs expect a comforting hand around/next to your neck, on your shoulder, or holding onto your own

- likes looking at your face but very much likes your ass so a lot of position switches throughout

- can definitely go rough, and sometimes prefers it, especially when you’re a moaning mess and hiding your crying face in the pillows as he’s pounding into you from behind and causing bruises to form on your hips

- barely speaks, but if he knows you like dirty talk he’ll have a few lines in store

- voice gets croaky and husky, will chuckle and smirk a lot

- buys you pretty lingerie and hopes you wear it, especially under his big shirt or hoodie

- has a thing for you in his clothes and chains, if that’s not obvious heheh

- will say i love you before, during, and after constantly. because he does, and you do too.

- the cutest baths and aftercare, and a lot of pillow talk and cuddling as you fall asleep. he’ll be stroking your hair, whispering sweet nothings as you fall asleep

- or it will be the other way around if he subbed that time, which is pretty often considering he’s tired and just wants someone to take control

- he’s so into being cuffed up and you taking control, not letting him touch you as he whimpers 

- “be quiet pup” “did i say you can touch me?”

- leash him up please 

- scratch him and mark him when he’s being subby it’s all he wants

- a lot of praise but throw in some degradation as well. he’ll do whatever you want omg

- but either way there are always safe words that you remind each other of, and a lot of care and love throughout <3

Day 4 & 5 ~

In the name of DJing and shopping.

Day 4

Again went on the East coast. The original plan was to go hiking but the weather went up to 42C which is unbearable and dangerous. So instead of that we went to a new complex where you could craft your own thing and I made a bracelet lol (also bought a lot of tea and small cups).

Then we drove along the coast to a beach, cold spring and up to mountains back to Taipei. My friends got used to my kpop DJing and even had requests. They really enjoyed B.A.P, some Block B followed by GD.

SHINee’s Ring Ding Dong will remain in their brains forever tbh.

Day 5

Due to a not so pretty weather I went for a walk to look for some cosmetics. However,...

First of all... my feet freaking hurt. Second of all, I found this music shop by an accident while looking for postcards. I was leaving... then I spotted this:

Unbothered me continued to walk to a shop where I wanted to and after not being able to buy what I wanted I realised, that in this place might be a music store with maybe kpop.

It was. Of damn course.

So I walked all the way back. Yep, stupid me.

For inspiration how diverse it is... one Block B album only (Montage), lots of Wanna One, Big Bang and SHINee even had older albums (including Amigo). I also saw some Super Junior (they had many posters tbh) Infinite, Highlight, B.A.P, VIXX but those had mainly the newest releases.

Since my fav group (Block B) had just one piece (also VIXX... aka why damn it), I focused on SHINee.

Japanese releases (From Now On and the newest DVDs) were there. Jonghyun’s work was well represented and also some Taemin including Flame of Love. As for TSOL, only EP. 2 was available.

Unfortunately, not what I wanted. So let’s check other store one day.

Also tons of posters. At least here I found Block B and took it, hehehe.

What did I buy? Not much. However, it was really funny. So after not being able to buy what I wanted, I moved to the posters. Took the nicest one with Block B aka black/white Blooming Period. They had some SHINee too but I couldn’t see which of those they were most of the time and didn’t want to risk getting... some really crazy era.

What surprised me was how much ToHeart they had. I couldn’t resist. So I got small cards and A5 file cover thing which has on it only for promotion rofl.

Interesting purchase was a paper thing which I thought would be only emo Kibum on a paper.

But turned out to be:

Popular Korean music in Taiwanese stores? I heard 2PM, Monsta X, Golden Child, Teen Top, EXO-CBX and VIXX! Interesting is that only 2PM had their old songs played but the rest was the newest or so.

#personal #travelling #kpop #taiwan #no queue this time #haha #2018

[daysswithyou]

how's the talks previously? it makes me more confused tbh coz most mods sound cool and i wanna try them all hahah. but dang, my body wasn't used to going out so it kinda aches the next day lol. btw i've been watching day6 perf while writing and ngl tho, my eyes are wet as i imagined myself in their concert. it sucks when i couldn't go for nct 127, sam kim and epik high so i really wish day6 to be my 1st concert exp :')) btw, i didn't get to know how you started stanning day6 heheh -sg myday

i have the exact same thoughts as you with regards to the talks. it’s harder to choose which modules to do because i’m now considering social work and eng lit modules when previously before the talks i would have never even thought of them. i also want to learn korean under CELC... and this is on top of the psych, soci, hist and SEA studies modules that i want to take /.\ the reality is that i simply do not have that many UEs or time to spare attempting all the modules i want so i really have to pick and choose. (but honestly this sucks because i really really want to use my last chance in uni to do all the things i have never done before sigh >

oh no! i hope your body aches less now >

ah i started stanning day6 because of their soundtrack series! my friend was playing a playlist of their soundtrack songs and the “bad boy” cover stood out to me so much because it was so different from big bang’s style, but it sounded so soulful and still as heartwrenching :’) and right around that time, day6 announced the everyday6 project so i decided to check out i wait. 

and i’ve never looked back since. 

jae’s “a-wae” pulled me in, wonpil’s pre-chorus got me curious and when sungjin started the chorus with his powerful voice, i decided “this is it. i am going to pay attention to them more.” and with the everyday6 project i got the chance to fall in love with them more and more, and i’ve been a myday for the past 3 years now :’) what about you? i’m quite sure i don’t know about how you became a myday too! ^^ 

#sg myday #del replies #asks #wow this is so long #pardon my rambling

[my-bobohu-blog]

[170401] a personal update and a very detailed list of my future plans that give me a reason to keep living

so... i’ve been having a rough time again. i don’t even remember if i wrote it down or not? if i recorded it anywhere... but these past couple of days... or weeks i guess... it just felt like i was thrown back into the dark and it felt... terrifying. there was a day when i just couldn’t get out of bed because i just couldn’t? i tried and i wanted to but it just... wasn’t working... i couldn’t function and it felt like i was falling apart but i couldn’t figure out why no matter how many times i tried to walk myself through my emotions. it just felt like i was turned off. and now being back at school at that godforsaken school... it feels 100x worse. i just... i hate being there so much and it makes me feel so empty inside. 

sigh. i wanted to journal about all of this but the words never come out right and it takes so much more effort to format it correctly where it’ll work with my brain. but this works too because i can edit things quickly and cleanly without scribbling all over my cute little journal. and sometimes it just takes to long to write everything i want to say and my hand can’t keep up with my thoughts and i don’t want to leave anything out because my little plans for the future are important to me and even the smallest plans bring me a lot of joy so i just... i want to keep track of them all, mm? 

okay... so... i guess i’ll start listing off my future plans one by one in chronological order because it brings me a kind of peace and it makes me happy knowing that i’ll be capable of achieving these things one day...

for this weekend:

start my poetry readings (homer’s iliad) and idk just be a bit more active in my learning instead of trying to just run away from it

check canvas for any global health readings too so i can plan time to do those readings before monday’s class

watch ep 12 of swdbs (hehehe tonight hopefully after i take a nice shower and put my hair into braids)

for this coming week:

i will go to all my classes this week. no more skips. and i’ll get on top of my work (which isn’t much i don’t think) but i will be prepared

go bowling with hai maybe? i don’t know. we’ll see and i think i should be more honest with myself when it comes to him too

i wanna start a drama (the one with joy and lee hyun woo) and also keep watching grey’s anatomy and running man 

the weather is supposed to be nicer on monday through wednesday so maybe i’ll go to the zoo one of those days and see my baby otter pups

i should get my genetics and a&p credits transferred before something miraculously stupid happens like uw expels me for kicks and giggles

deposit money into the bank account to pay off my bills and to make up for all the shit i spent money on these past couple months (no regrets)

look cute one of these days and go take some selfies by the cherry blossoms @ the quad... which would be cool, hmm?

buy some more strawberry milk bc it makes me happy :) 

for this month:

go to the zoo at least twice to visit the baby otter pups and to just... enjoy the zoo whether it’s on my own or with company

no skipping classes in april to the best of your ability... because may and june might be hard and i need to keep it together at least one month

make sure to have a bad day preparedness plan just in case the bad days are bad and skipping isn’t an option

figure out a schedule to start working out on a weekly basis- but at the very least start working out at home or something

buy some cool socks and make hai a picture ornament for his birthday that’s coming up

fly to la to see fey, exo, and some sunshine LOL~ remember to have a good time and to just enjoy life as it comes

trim bangs 

for this school year:

pray like there’s no tomorrow that i got into the MLS program because it means the world to me and i want to stop being disappointed by life

pray some more just in case and just... pray a lot, hmm? just... lots of praying tbvh

apply to the biology major (ba bc bs is a pain in the ass even if it’s just one more physics class- fuck that)

do my best to just finish this quarter strong and to just get through it no matter what it may throw at me

drive to the beach on a really sunny/warm day and just feel the wind blow through my hair and enjoy life

transfer every single one of my credits and just get that taken care of so that i can figure out my next steps at this godforsaken school

go to oshian’s graduation and get her the most kickass present i can think of/make because she deserves it more than the world

for the future and beyond:

get into the mls program and totally kick ass by being motivated to learn new shit and making friends with my small cohort

get into the bio major and kick ass at that too because biology is just in my blood and engraved in my heart at this point

take a shit ton of challenging classes that make life worth living and do my clinical rotations and kick ass at that too because it’s lab and i love it

graduate with a bs in mls and a ba in bio and a minor in chem and if i’m feeling ambitious lets just tag on a minor in microbio too if i can

but really, graduate with at least a bs in mls because that’s what matters and i’m gonna do great with that too

apply to hospitals in seattle and boston and move to boston if there’s a place for me there

go on a big ass trip of joys and wonders after i graduate and before i move for my big senior solo trip

visit south korea, japan, and taiwan~ (maybe schedule it around the time of an exo concert, mm? and go to hot springs in japan~)

visit sm coex, go to pet cafes, run through the taiwanese night markets, eat all the delicious foods, just... live and be happy and explore

move to boston (hopefully) and start over with a new life with a job at a wonderful hospital~ live there for 2-3 years and see how it goes

go to farmers’ markets and buy myself fruits and flowers, learn how to cook more, live on my own, drink wine and watch netflix on my own

get a corgi and name it bubby and love it more than anything else in the world because it will be my lil love and my lil bub and it will own my soul

travel to europe and visit england, spain, france, and germany and idk anywhere in between wherever my heart takes me

apply to graduate school (maybe u of maryland) and get a masters in the pathologists’ assistant program 

become a freaking pathologists’ assistant??? and make $100k+ a year??? and kick fucking ass??? 

open up Bubby’s Bookshop (latter half of name still pending) as a safe space for ppl to go and be at peace

oh and adopt lola (or lolo) and my cat sparkles~ and shower them with all the love in the world

make special spaces in bubby’s bookshop like lola’s library and sparkles’ safe space w/ lil themes for ppl to seek comfort in

maybe get my phd??? so that i can be the lab director of a lab one day and just... still totally kick ass? because... that would be awesome

dr. elaine~ ayeeeeee LOLOLOL but really... that would be kind of really great and cool and exciting

buy a beach house or something... maybe start small and just rent a beachside apartment ya know? but... i’ll get there ;)

live simply, humbly, and happily

for everything in between my life plans:

remain flexible and have back ups and don’t be afraid to let go of certain future plans simply because they aren’t gonna work out

if i don’t get into the mls program, then i’ll get my bio degree and get a certification program in mls and i’ll go from there and adjust accordingly

if i choose a path different from pathologists’ assistant, then that’s cool too as long as i enjoy whatever path i take

hope and pray that my heart still belongs in labs and that truly where i am happy and where my soul resides

if not, then i can figure out something else from there too. there will always be time

for the bad days and the good days and life in between:

tell someone (oshian probably bc she’s my person) whenever those bad waves come before i start to drown too deeply

do not be afraid to reach out and to just... ask for help no matter how much of a burden i feel like i am... because i still matter and i need help

go to the zoo often and go to the beach often and just go places often. try to avoid holing myself in my room if i can avoid it

take advantage of good opportunities and try to put myself out there every once in a while- like good internships

keep friends. don’t push them away... because they matter and they’re important and they are everything

dude, go out to eat with other people. like literally anyone and not just by myself bc sometimes it’s a tad depressing and company is fucking gr8

take care of myself and know my own limits because those are essential to my sanity and my health and hopefully it will get better

but if it doesn’t, at least i’ll still have me and i will get myself through every single bad day in life and i will persevere and survive

even if this is the longest shit i’ve written it still feels so incomplete? like i’m missing something or that i’m leaving out some small details that really matter... but... i think that’s okay, hmm? i hope... i hope i can achieve these things or at least still remain true to the heart and soul that is striving after these things. 

i want to be better. i want to be a better elaine that little-elaine can look up to and be proud of. i want big-elaine to look back and think, “you did good little one. thank you for the strength to get us to this point. you did good.” because that matters and because... because even if i make all these plans, i’m still scared that something is going to go wrong with my heart and my soul and that somewhere underneath all of this is someone who is rotten at the core and... and i hope that’s not true... but i’m trying. i’m trying my best and i’m trying to be the best i can be even if that just means buying strawberry milk on a wednesday to help me get through the rest of the week. and i don’t know if that made sense... but it matters to me. because... because i’ve gone through a shit ton and i don’t always think i’m a good person... but goddammit i’m trying and that has to count for something... it has to matter to me that i’m trying. 

sigh. 

none of my future plans really have people involved specifically... except osh bc she’s my best friend and i will fight like hell to keep her in my life even if i’m living across the country. but... there’s no plans for a boyfriend or a husband... because... because i feel like if i do that then i’ll be weak and that somehow having plans will break my heart when they don’t come true because they never do. so idk... i don’t even know why i wanted to mention this but i also kind of know because i told myself i’d be honest with myself today. and the truth is... i’m scared of being alone and i’m scared of settling and i’m scared of being with someone i’m unhappy with so i’d rather just be alone because i can control how i feel about myself and i can control those aspects of my future because they’re my future and someone else’s future isn’t a part of that- not really. and... and i’m scared of someone walking in and changing my plans and then walking right back out after damage has been done... and i’m scared because i can’t control their feelings but... but i don’t want to have to pick up all my broken pieces each time someone walks out of my life either. i’ve grown so tired of it. 

but... but i won’t lie. i want someone who is gonna hug me at the end of the day and kiss me on the forehead and hold my hand and tell me that even on my worse days, things are going to be okay... that i’m going to be okay. because they’ll know that only me telling myself those things isn’t always enough so they’re there to support me too. and... and i want to love someone. really love someone and just... link arms with them and let them cuddle up with me in bed and tell them about my future plans and ask about theirs and maybe make future plans together. my goodness i don’t want to end up alone but i feel like i will just because i’m too fucking scared to include anyone in my future... but... i hope... i really hope that i won’t end up alone. which is a stupid sentiment by the way bc i have osh and my family who love and adore me and would do anything for me... and i’m still trying to figure out what i mean when i want someone to love me... and i guess i mean that in a s/o kind of way but... but still... it just... feels weird. like i want someone special but osh and family are still special and i don’t know how to specify what i want in words but i think it’s understandable but i wish i could just break it down and really make sense of what i want... sigh. idk... i’m just rambling at this point.

alright... i’m growing tired because i’m still not sure what the point of these last few points were. anyways.

to my little love (aka me), you are doing great and i’m proud of you. even if the depression feels like it’s eating you alive- you are going to survive this. you have goals and plans and it’s going to be okay because you’re smart and you’re going to fight and you’re going to survive this and it’s going to get better. even if life decides to screw you over at every corner you turn, you’re going to persevere and make it through. even if you have to suffer, you will fucking persevere because that’s just what you do and that’s what your heart is made of. it was meant to persevere even in the toughest times that test you and make you want to give up- you never will. even if there are smaller things that occupy your mind and your time- even if there are things that make you more vulnerable than you ever anticipated despite you knowing it shouldn’t- you’re gonna be okay and it’s going to be okay. you are going to accomplish all your goals in the best of your ability and you’re going to have a bright future because that’s just who and what you are. you are light and you are meant to live simply and brightly and it’s going to be okay. and even if you find yourself in the darkness, you will light your own way and figure your way out. you are strong my little potato bud. you are going to be great and i am so proud of you.

Alola ke Ola: Beginning

(Mild NSFW warning - no lewd, just some nude, similar to that vent oneshot I did last year.)

“Thank you, sir, everything should be mailed to you by next week. And next... mister Bill?”

My ears flicked, the call of my name rising above the muffled sound of the rain pouring down outside, and I slowly looked up from my seat, peering around the room, spotting a middle-aged Persian lady staring right at me from behind the front desk. I turned to glance at my partner when I felt her pat my shoulder, and the Ninetales and I shared a brief smile before I got up and walked over, wiggling my footpaws against the smooth, cold floor. Other Pokemon wandered around in the back rooms, dressed up in suits, carrying stacks of paper, quietly chattering into their phones. I half-grinned as I saw them zip every which way – the folks of city hall were as busy as ever.

“That's me,” I said sheepishly, nodding a silent greeting at the gray-furred feline as I stepped up to the desk, a faint nervousness starting to tingle through me; I idly scratched at my jeans, the fresh-washed denim suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable. “Has all the paperwork gone through?”

“Yes, it has!” She smiled slightly at me, then plucked a pen out from a nearby mug, sliding it and a small card across the wooden paneling. Her round face seemed to get even rounder as she let out a chuckle, whiskers shaking from the motion. “Hohoho, don't worry, dear, everything's fine. Just sign here, please.”

I looked down at it, then smiled wide, quickly taking the offered pen and hunching forward somewhat. I gave the license a once-over, scanning across my photo, the company logo and all the information I had filled out already, before spotting an empty line at the bottom; with a quick flick of my wrists, I jotted down my name, trying to write as carefully as I could despite my nerves. “Good?”

“Yup!” The Persian replied, shooting me a toothy smile as she leaned back, and I let go of a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding, pulling my wallet out and slipping the now-official card inside with trembling hands. “You're now an officially-licensed Ryder!”

I nodded confidently at the cat – then furrowed my brow a bit when her words sank in, reaching over and drumming my fingers against the countertop. “You make that pun to everyone?”

“Maybe,” The Persian replied jokingly, her tail flicking towards a nearby Machamp as he sidled behind her, and she turned and winked at the fighting type before looking back at me. Slipping the pen back into the pocket of her dress, she grabbed a clipboard and flipped through a couple of pages. “You can start providing rides starting tomorrow, so we hope to see you getting out there as much as you can, okay, sir? Now, next up is...”

I didn't even hear her as she called out for the next Pokemon in line, the loose ends of my checkered shirt flapping audibly as I practically spun on my heels, looking back at my partner. The cream-furred fox smiled warmly at me, brushing a few wrinkles out of her hoodie and skirt as she stood up, and she slowly walked over, her expression brightening more and more at my good mood.

“Ready to go, Bill?” The Ninetales asked, a sparkle playing in her ruby red eyes.

“Yeah, Rose,” I replied, tucking my wallet back into my pocket and glancing out towards the doors, chuckling awkwardly when I heard the falling rain thump onto the roof. “Time to head home.”

Alola ke Ola! Ho'omaka!

“Finally, we're home!” I said wheezily, carefully pushing the door open as I stepped into the apartment, a blast of cool, air-conditioned air hitting me head-on, cooling the countless droplets that clung to my fur. I shook my head and chuckled, practically ripping my checkered shirt off as I strode down the hall, past the mini-kitchen, until I reached the main room. The lights above flickered on, helping to illuminate the otherwise-dreary surroundings, and I glanced over my shoulder at my partner, tossing my shirt onto the nearby table. “I guess a little storm can't stop this good mood, huh?”

“I'd be a little bit worried if it did!” Rose replied, stepping away from the lightswitch and ambling up to my side, her footpaws softly padding against the tile floor. I rolled my eyes and reached out to affectionately tousle her headfur, and she leaned into my touch, beaming sweetly.

“Hoo... it feels good to get that finished.” I let my arms drop back to my sides, a couple of my aura tassels slipping in front of my shoulders as I shook my head. “Honestly, I'm excited. Compared to working at the Pokemart back in New Bark, this is a big step up, huh?”

The Ninetales hummed an 'mmhm' in response, leaning in and giving me a gentle lick on the cheek, and then she stepped over to the window-wall, bringing a hand up to the glass and gazing out at Hau'oli City. Gray clouds blanketed the sky, the sun barely visible behind them, and numerous, colorful umbrellas milled down the sidewalks, Pokemon going here and there as the rain poured down. Despite the weather, a few swimmers – and even surfers – were still visible against the foam-filled ocean, locals and tourists alike testing their mettle against the waves.

“So, what now?” I spoke up after a few minutes had passed, leaning back and wiping at my ruffled torsofur. Light glinted against my pawspikes and blunted chestspike both, and I folded my arms, taking a deep breath and letting myself relax. “Did you have anything else going on, Rose?”

“Mm-mm,” The cream-furred fox shook her head, her ponytail of headfur waving, and she looked at me out of the corner of her eyes, smiling coyly before reaching down and tugging at the hem of her hoodie. My tail wagged once as she slowly started to disrobe, rising up onto her tiptoes and stretching out, and I started fiddling with my jeans not long after. “We could talk about how the job's going to work, if you want, but otherwise I think I just want to take it easy today. After all... you got the job, so we should celebrate, right? Maybe order a pizza?”

“That works for me,” I replied with a grin, undoing the button and letting my pants drop to my ankles, shivering slightly as a draft breezed past my sheath and ballsack. I couldn't help but smile wider when Rose fully tugged her hoodie off – her ample breasts dropping out with a slight bounce – and I took a step forward, leaning against a chair as I watched her strip. “Hopefully I won't need to look for another job for a while, unless they can find some way to make paperwork processing exciting.”

“Aww, I'm sure they did the best they could...” Rose said gently, folding her hoodie up and setting it aside. My eyes lingered longingly on her curves, and a pleasant twitch ran through my nerves when the fire type dropped her skirt, giving me a quick peek at her lacy, orange panties before her tails waved down to hide her rear. She turned around afterward, her muzzle curling into a soft smile as she walked up and closed the distance. “Besides, it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun! I bet you'll get to see all sorts of neat stuff, driving Pokemon around the island.”

“Hah, true,” I wrapped my arms around the cream-furred fox and drew her into a hug, her body heat washing over me like a hot bath; she let out a happy sigh before snuggling in close, smushing her bust into my chest and lightly swaying back and forth. We stood there for a couple seconds, and then I scooted over to the chair, pulling Rose along with as I sat down. “Still, I bet it'll be even better for finding places that all four of us can visit together. At least, if I end up driving for anyone outside of Hau'oli, anyway.”

“Oh, hush, I'm sure you will!” My partner gingerly swatted at an aura tassel, shifting sideways to settle onto my lap, her nine fluffy tails curling over the armrest and brushing against the floor. She leaned over to rest her head, and I nuzzled into her scruff of neckfur, her sidelocks tickling against my nose. “I really am happy for you, Bill... I'm happy for all of us. We got through moving to Melemele, and now you, me, Cyan and Erin have jobs, so we really are getting back to normal, aren't we?”

I peered across the table at the far wall and looked around the apartment, going from our hanging plant to the pencil mug sitting on my writing desk, then to the kitchen nook back the way we came in. My ears flicked as Rose trailed off, the sound of the rain filling the room again. “Yeah. Yeah, we are. And it feels good!”

“Hehehe...” All my muscles seemed to relax at once when the Ninetales snuggled up with me again, giggling under her breath. I eased even deeper into the chair's cushions, unable to keep one leg from twitching as I felt the lace of Rose's undies rub up on my leg. “Maybe we can both try to work on that, huh? I'm sure there's plenty of local guidebooks at the library I could check out...”

“How've things been over there, anyway?” I asked, shifting away a bit to look at my partner, and she cocked her head in curiosity, bringing her hand up to brush her bangs out from in front of her face. Scooting to the side, I leaned against the other armrest, managing to leave just enough room for the Ninetales to sit next to me. “With all the stuff I've been dealing with, I haven't gotten to hear much about how your work's going.”

“Well... it's been really good so far,” Rose said, scratching a bit at her scruff of neckfur, and I snaked my arms around her midriff, sliding them up to her underboob and giving her tits a bounce; they jiggled slightly, feeling heavy against my wrists. She smiled playfully and stuck her tongue out at me, reaching down and tracing a couple fingers over the blue stripe on my thigh in return. “It's way bigger than New Bark or Humilau's libraries ever were... mmm, it's kind of crazy to think about. But all of my coworkers have been really friendly, and it's been really relaxing to work the desk, too.���

“That's a shocker,” I quipped airily. When she gave me a confused look in return, I shrugged. “What? Don't think I forgot how much you seemed to hate checking things in and out for everyone back in Humilau.”

“Hey...” The cream-furred fox murmured, letting out a slight huff, her tails slowly curling up to her back, then uncurling down to the floor again. “That's just because nobody ever really came to the Humilau library, and they wouldn't let me help reshelf stuff when I was working the counter. Everyone here in Hau'oli seems a lot more relaxed, though... not just with the library, either, but in general, you know?”

“Yeah, I get what you mean.” I nodded. “I mean, I was stuck having to wait a week before I could even get a job interview set up, and the guy who interviewed me just told me to let him know. That always seemed rare back in Unova, hah!”

“Mmhm, exactly.” Looking back at Rose, I shrugged a second time, prompting her to scritch the fur around my blunted chestspike. I grinned cheekily, bouncing her breasts a little bit more before scooting her closer to me, and she leaned in, pressing her muzzle against my cheek. “I think it's a really, really nice change of pace... I loved Unova, and I'm sure Cyan and Erin'll miss it, but aside from a few things, Alola seems like it's a lot more easygoing.”

“At least the ocean's still the same, heheheheh.” I glanced out the window-wall again at the city, the rain having died down somewhat. Some of the clouds had broken up, blue sky visible through the gaps, and a few strong sunbeams shined through, glowing yellow against the gray – there were even a handful of parasailers visible amidst the gloom. My tail wagged at the sight, audibly swishing back and forth. Parasailing... Cyan had mentioned that before, the other day. “Actually, I'm surprised that Cyan and Erin are getting on as well as they are. They seemed to take to moving a lot better than we did.”

“They didn't have a whole lot to bring with them, remember?” Rose remarked, glancing towards the ceiling, her ruby red eyes glazing over in thought as she looked up at the ceiling lights. “It's just like how we were when we moved from Johto to Unova. Besides, you saw how excited they were! Even Cyan, and he's usually too frumpy to show it! If they were nervous, that made them forget about it.”

I raised a hand and gestured at nothing, licking my lips as I mulled the comment over... and then I lost my train of thought when a couple sharp knocks echoed in from down the little entry hall. My ears twitched at the noise – one of them flicking right into my partner's headfur – and we both sat up a little bit straighter. Rose tilted her head slightly, trying to listen harder for the sound, and she slipped down off of my lap, taking a few steps away from the table when a second series of knocks rang out through the apartment.

“Hey, Bill, Rose!” A rough, youthful voice called out from the door, his words tinged with a heavy accent. He paused for a split second, then spoke up again, knocking a third time. “Y'there? Erin thought she saw th'two o'you comin' back from city hall, so she wanted t'come by an' check in!”

“Speaking of...” My muzzle curled upwards, and I slowly got up from the chair, walking up next to my partner and placing a hand on her shoulder. She glanced at me, then smiled, combing her fingers through her headfur. “Think I should go and put on some underwear?”

“I think he might be a little embarrassed either way,” She giggled in response, a faint blush rising onto her face, visible even through her fur. She leaned in and pressed her lips onto mine for a moment, then ambled towards the door, her tails wagging from side to side as she turned the corner and vanished behind the wall. “At least we can tell them the good news, though!”

Shaking my head, I turned around and waltzed over to our dresser, pulling open a drawer and quickly grabbing a pair of boxerbriefs. I hastily leaned against the edge of the bed and pulled them on, letting out a mild sigh as the tight fabric wrapped around my crotch. Then, I briefly gave myself a brush-down with my palms, feeling the chilly apartment air sink in as the warmth from Rose's inner fire faded away. My tail thumped a couple times against the bedsheets as I heard the door open.

“Bwah-! R-Rose, wh-what th'hell!?” There was a startled yelp, followed by someone else laughing merrily, and my grin grew even wider.

“Heeheeheehee! C'moooon, Cyan, don't get so antsy! It's okay!” Dusting my hands off, I gave my pawspikes a couple of idle taps before heading back towards the little hallway, slowing to a stop just a few short steps behind Rose as she opened the door a little wider to let our two friends in. The first one to make it in was a lithe Mienshao girl, clad in a sleeveless shirt and shorts, bouncing up and down as she ran right into Rose and wrapped her into a tight hug. “Hi Bill, hi Rose! How're you two doing today, huh, huh?”

“Heh, we're just fine, Erin.” I walked over to the two girls, reaching out and flicking one of Erin's ears with a finger. The pink mink pulled away from Rose and smiled widely at me – then perked up when Cyan stomped into the apartment, ducking his head somewhat so his horned helmet wouldn't leave a notch in the doorframe. The Samurott crossed his arms against his black tank top, trying very hard not to look flustered despite the cherry-red blush on his face, and I kicked back, leaning against the wall. “Seems like you're doing alright too, huh? You both finish your shifts for today?”

“I didn't have one!” Erin piped up, cutting Cyan off before he could speak, and she quickly zipped past Rose and I, scuttling into the main room, her tail and fur sleeves – the latter tied around her wrists as usual – flapping all along the way.

“D-Do th'two o'you have t'be hangin' 'round in nothin' but your damn skivvies...?” The blue-furred sea lion murmured under his breath, giving us a half-hearted glare, and I stretched an arm out, lightly clapping him on his back as he moseyed forward. Rose smiled gently at the younger Pokemon, giving him a pat on his helmet before wiping down the fur on her neck and breasts; Cyan tried his best to avoid looking at my partner's bare chest, managing to get a grin out of me in the process. “A-And I'm doin' good! I had a shift in th'mornin', so I'm all done, yeah!”

“Good! Now, go ahead and make yourselves cozy, okay? Bill and I have some news for the both of you,” Rose said, taking my hand in hers as we followed after Cyan, and she waved her other hand towards the chair opposite the one we had been sitting in just a few minutes earlier.

“Ooh, is it about the job? Did you get the job, Bill!?” Erin happily asked, bounding over from near the living room nook and grabbing my shoulders, giving me a bit of a shake in her excitement. Cyan brusquely pulled the seat out from the table, his cargo pants wrinkling as he 'fwump'-ed right down onto the cushion; Erin happily hopped into her friend's lap, eliciting a gasp, then a huff, out of the winded water type. “C'mon, tell us! You got it, didn't you!”

“Yeah, out with it,” Cyan added, somehow managing to forget his embarrassment as he looked between Rose and I, his fan-shaped tail thankfully slipping through the hole in the chair. He scrunched his nose for the briefest of moments when he took his helmet off, his stubby ears poking up into the air as he set the armor down onto the floor. “Y'said that y'were plannin' t'go t'city hall today, right? How'd it go?”

“It went decently enough...” I deliberately trailed off, and Rose smiled softly, then slowly plopped down into the other chair, her tails spilling out underneath the armrests as she loosened up; I walked up behind the chair and leaned against the back, casually tapping my footpaws against the floor. After a moment, I chuckled, shooting Cyan and Erin a wink. “Heh, yeah, I got the job. Even signed the license and everything.”

Erin nearly leaped out of the seat, pumping her fists happily, dimples forming in her cheeks as a huge smile wound its way onto her face. Her whiskers twitched as she fidgeted around, and even Cyan let out a small snicker, tapping his hands against the empty, shell-plated scabbards on his arms, even as he scooted sideways a little to give his friend a little extra wiggle room.

“Aaaaaaaah! That's really really great!” The Mienshao cheered, scooting around so much that she nearly slipped off the edge of the seat. “When do you start? Do they have you assigned anywhere? Show me your license! I wanna seeee!”

“So y'actually managed t'land somethin'?” Cyan leaned forward, resting one arm atop the table and stroking his mustache with the other. I walked over to my pants in the meantime, fishing my wallet out from the pocket and pulling out the newly-minted card, and I tossed it over to Erin, who snatched it out of the air and looked it over. “For Arceus' sake, it's 'bout damn time! Good t'hear they hired you after all! They took long enough t'decide, bah!”

“I think city hall might have a tiny more on their plates than your usual personal trainer does,” I snarked back, sitting down with Rose and crossing my legs. The Ninetales giggled softly at the remark, her ponytail of headfur swinging as she shook her head, and she leaned into me, her breasts shifting ever-so-slightly against my chest. “And it isn't set up like that, Erin, I just have to turn the app on and wait for someone to text and ask me for a ride. I'm going to have to figure out a schedule and all that on my own.”

“That's so cool, though!” Erin said brightly, rocking back and forth on her backside as she stretched her hands out, holding my Ryde license under the light. After a few more moments, she slid it back over to me, fluffing her fur sleeves and glancing out the window-wall afterward. Just a second later, the younger Pokemon looked back at me, excitement welling up again. “Oh oh oh, what if you get Pokemon going on their island challenges? I bet you'll have more chances to come and visit me at the center, heeheehee!”

“Yeah, that is somethin', now that y'mention it!” Cyan chimed in. I glanced at Rose when she slowly got up from the chair – her nine fluffy tails swishing as she walked over to the mini-kitchen – then looked back at the Samurott as he snapped his fingers impatiently. “There've been a few new folks over at th'gym th'past couple o'weeks, an' they said they're stayin' here in Hau'oli until they can head over to th'other side o'th'island for their trial. Maybe you can ask 'em 'bout what it's like, if you end up goin' into Kekona City...”

“Hey!” Erin replied, letting out a mild, playful huff as she put her hands on her hips. “You should be the one to do that if you're so interested in the island challenge, you big grumpy gus!”

“An' what's that supposed t'mean, eh?” Cyan shot back, giving the pink mink an annoyed look.

I briefly peered outside as the Samurott and Mienshao crabbed at each other; the storm had mostly stopped, but the gray, dreary clouds remained, hanging still above the apartment grounds. I leaned to the side, peering past some of the buildings at Ten Carat Hill, the top of the peak hidden behind the lingering mist. If nothing else, I didn't envy whoever had to drive out there today.

Then again, if the front stopped and sat here for a few days, it might be me after all.

The sound of clinking glass and a running faucet caught my attention, and I shook myself out of my trance, turning my head towards Rose as she slowly walked back over to the table with a few glasses of water held in her arms. The nine-tailed fox smiled warmly at the two younger Pokemon, setting the drinks down and wiping her hands on her panties, the cream-colored fur around them getting ruffled somewhat from the moisture.

“It'll be the last big change for all of us, but...” She wondered aloud, reaching up and shyly scratching behind her ears afterward. I smiled, grasping her other hand and giving her a comforting squeeze, and she chuckled to herself. “Hehe, it means that we'll be back to normal, right? Well, mostly normal, anyway.”

“Yeah, yeah...” Cyan replied; Erin looked at him and gestured at one of the water glasses, then took it for herself when the sea lion shook his head. The fighting type quickly downed it all in just a couple gulps. “So what're you two plannin' t'do now? If y'don't start 'til tomorrow, does that mean you've got nothin' goin' on?”

“Eh?” I grunted, grinning and reaching back to scratch at my aura tassels as the Samurott's comment sank in. Rose slowly walked back over to our chair and folded her arms on top of it, and my tail wagged a couple times when I felt my partner's breasts squish my ears down a little bit. I stole a quick glance at the Ninetales, who was gazing quietly out at the city, before replying. “Er, Rose and I were probably going to take it easy and celebrate for dinner, but yeah, we're free this afternoon. What's the deal?”

“Celebrate for dinner? What, y'mean order a cheap pizza or somethin' like that? Bah!” Cyan barked, rolling his eyes dismissively and shuffling around in the seat, smacking his fanned tail against the woven wicker. I sheepishly sighed and nestled my head a little more comfortably underneath Rose's bust, opting not to tell the Samurott that he was exactly right. “How's 'bout you two come on next door later in th'evening! I've got a recipe I've been wantin' t'test out anyway, so it's a good excuse!”

Erin gasped at that, then tittered cheerfully, hopping up off of the chair and rocking back and forth on her heels, only to look back at her friend when he tugged on her tail like a leash. She blew a raspberry at him, then looked back at Rose and I; my partner chuckled at their antics. “Oooh, yeah, that'd be lots of fun! Please, Bill? Rose? It's been such a long time since we had a big family meal together, too...”

“Yeah, now that y'mention it, when was th'last time th'two o'you came over?” I sat up a little straighter, briefly looking up at the ceiling in thought at the question. The water type kicked the heels of his boots against the tiles a couple times, cracking a toothy smirk and snorting. “Heh, I guess that's another excuse t'have y'both over. Does seven o'clock work for you?”

“I don't know,” I said, glancing up at Rose, nudging her with the flats of my pawspikes to get her attention. “What do you think? It would be a lot better than what we were thinking before.”

“Mmm...” Rose tilted her head from side to side, ponytail slipping over her shoulders as she mulled the offer over. The fire type peered down her nose at me for a moment, then smiled in agreement, her tails waving up and down as she continued. “That sounds great, Cyan. Bill and I were just thinking of doing something... um, simple, before, but it really would be great to have a proper get-together... Erin's right, it's been too long.”

“That settles it, then!” I reached my arms out, rapping my knuckles on the table as I grabbed the other glass of water and took a sip. Licking my lips, I grinned cheekily at the Samurott and Mienshao sitting across from us, shaking my head towards the kitchen nook of the apartment. “I'm already looking forward to it, hahahah!”

“Woo hoooooo! Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun, heeheehee,” Erin cheered, spryly bouncing off of the chair and skipping down the hall, waving her arms at Rose and I as she vanished down the hallway, her small pink tail wiggling all along the way. “I'm gonna go preheat the oven, okay, Cyan? Seeya later, Bill, Rose!”

“Hang on, Erin-!” Cyan blurted out, his eyes going wide as the pink mink fled out the door, and he quickly got up, dusting himself off and shaking his head irritably. Light glinted off of the shell plates on his arms and shins, and he snatched up his helmet, set it back atop his head, and let out a gruff grumble. He took a couple steps forward, boots scuffing against the tiles, then turned back towards us. “Ah, Arceus dammit, not again. See y'in th'evening, alright? Sheesh, Erin, will y'wait up-!?”

I hopped up and slid my way away from the table, giving the two younger Pokemon a short wave as they departed, tapping the tips of my footpaws on the floor; the tiles sent a chill through my pawpads, and I briefly shivered, folding my arms against my blunted chestspike to keep warm. My ears flicked as the door creaked open, then swung shut, and I turned to look at Rose... only to balk when I found her standing mere inches away from me, our noses nearly touching. The Ninetales looped her tails around my back, gazing kindly at me, and she let her head droop, resting her chin on my shoulder.

“Hehehe...” She giggled under her breath, letting her hands wander down to my hips, and I sighed pleasantly when I felt her slip her hands down towards underpants, the waistband bending over her knuckles. Licking my lips again, I nuzzled my partner's cheek, her headfur tickling my nose. “Mmm. To be honest, a home-cooked meal does sound like a fun way to celebrate. We all deserve to have a little down-time, after all!”

“What if I tried making something?” I said, muzzle curling into a joking smile, and she hunched forward, poking at one of my aura tassels in response. Letting my fingers rest on the small of her back, I pulled the fire type in close – her bare breasts squishing into my torsofur – and laughed, a tingle of arousal running down my spine. “I take it that's a no?”

“Maybe if it was breakfast for dinner,” Rose replied, pulling her head back and deliberately wiggling her boobs against the fur around my blunted chestspike, fluffing the sensitive spots to tease me. My tail swished back and forth from the sensation, and I trailed my fingertips all over her back, eliciting a shaky coo from the cream-furred fox. “Besides, you're the one who's supposed to be celebrating! You of all Pokemon should be taking it easy tonight.”

“Eh, that's true.” I shook my head, looking towards the window-wall when the pitter-pattering of the rain began to pick up strength again, water spattering against the glass and trailing down the side of the apartment building. Rose's tails tickled against my sides, and I nudged them with my hip, chuckling. “Heh, still, that means we're free for a good few hours... anything you want to do?”

The Ninetales smiled coyly, her ruby red eyes shining in the light as she brought a hand up and curled a few locks of her headfur between her thumb and forefinger. “How about a movie?”
