@intxlligentminds / @elxgantcaptain asked; When Hook was usually summoned by Malificent, he was usually STRAIGHT OFF THE BAT and raring to go with whatever she needed, what she wanted was his. But today.. He stepped through the portal and he looked rather TIRED.
The moment he stepped forth, she knew something was off. His posture was not upright and proper, his face sagged in exhaustion, and even the lack of pep in his step at the prospect of another round of their agreement. She should be offended. That is... If she hadn't grown to care about Hook beyond their arrangement. But her face didn't say as much as she stared at him, almost about to scold him...
Until she rolled her eyes and sat on her bed, beckoning him closer and allowing him to lay his head in her lap. Nothing more. Simply allowing him to rest there as she peered down at him, her face softening as she began to gently caress his face.
"All right. Out with it. What's happened that's started making you lose sleep? You look dreadful. This is no way for something I own to treat itself."
There's a prolonged hug as they met in the middle of the hall, eyes closed as he was finally engulfed in Laxus' warmth again. They were both more than capable wizards but there was no way in hell and heaven that he would be able to not worry about all the perils their profession brought along with it when they were away for a long time, on separate jobs, or one of them waiting for the other at home. Not when he loved him that much. And he didn't care how long the embrace lasted, for all he cared he'd stand here forever like this or make out with his husband right here and now with everybody watching. He didn't care. They were both safe, that's all that matters.
It was a shared desire; finally returning after one of these jobs.
The man that actually prefered to not show any weakness or emotion at all faltered – his strong arms got limp, slightly trembling by the sight, feel and – that smell... of this specific man.
It was a craving that lingered for way too long.
But now it was time. Time to embrace it, not letting go anytime soon. Finally – his grip gained more strenght, on again.
Laxus leaned over –"... I missed you... Freed..." the name had a slight specific undertone for a moment. The slayer kissed his man's forehead. Gently. Lovingly. Caring.
@hifimuses asked; ❝ i love you. don’t forget that. ❞ Wolf to Diane
“ Whoa ! What’s with the sudden sappy stuff there, Wolfy? ”
“ You aren’t trying to get something out of me, are you? Did you break something that important? ” . . . Despite her casual response, her face is red. And her tail is wagging.
one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
@intxlligentminds/@elxgantcaptain asked; “M’lady,” Hook bows dramatically. “I’m here to serve you, as required, what assistance did you need from me today?”
"I'm glad you got my summons, James. You see, I am... In somewhat of a predicament. A royal party is being held, and I am unable to make one of my grand entrances as... It's completely nullified with a spell that forebodes fae magic from being used. It's the royal family's attempt at keeping me out... So I must attend in disguise so I can still stir my usual trouble."
"And you, my darling, are going to be my date. I'd bring Diablo along, but the poor bird's caught a slight cold and can't be my partner for the evening. And since you are technically... Mortal... I need you there with me as well as telling me how to... Keep my facade accurate. It's been quite some time since I've had to blend in with the usual crowd, you see."
She seems rather excited for this. And now Hook seems to be along for the ride whether he likes it or not....
@levecoli asked; Diane your opinion on the Bad Guys?
“A group of people who work well together. Wolf is great to have some banter with, Snake has a heart of gold even if he doesn’t want to admit it, Shark has some GREAT fashion taste, Piranha is the loose canon we all need in our life, and Ms. Tarantula is great for some girl nights every now and then. And I’m proud of how far each and every one of them have come.”
