part 3 of that uni mizu
she walked you to the bus stop that night and even went on the bus with you just to make sure you'll get home safe
You didnt talk much on the way there
The gang didnt really react much when you both said you're leaving
They all just shared a look (it was like they're telling each other "holy shit did our plan work??") then said goodbye
When you asked mizu what was bothering her
She just glanced at you with a really soft gaze paired with a gentle smile
"nothing. I thought there was, but i was wrong."
Then it ends there.
You're both just comfortable in your shared silence.
The kind of comfortable silence that's distinctly just for the two of you. Always shared by nobody else except the two of you.
When you reach your place, you turn to her.
"do you think you'll be able to get home? There's barely any busses at this time."
"i'll manage." then she smiles again, you cant help but notice how much she's smiling so softly today, "dont worry."
You shook your head and took her hand, dragging her in the lobby of the apartment
"you're staying."
She looked like a confused puppy when you dragged her to the elevators, but does not complain. She just lets you.
Honestly its pretty cute
Right now, you look and act like the most responsible between the two of you
Anyways when you guys get to your apartment she lowkey standing by the doorway, awkward and stiff af
You just glance back at her confused because why hasnt the door shut yet??
Then she just standing there like a damn scarecrow
"uh, are you going to come in? You've been here like- before?"
"oh- right." she said and closes the door behind her.
You snort.
"whats up with you? Are you tipsy?"
She doesnt say anything, just smiles (like she knows something you dont know) and waves it off
Mizu's zoning out because shes internally panicking about whether or not she should just tell you she likes you right here, right now. But you think she just drunk or something 😭
Anyways
Its fucking awkward 😭😭😭😭😭😭
You dont know why it suddenly got awkward
mizu CANT even tell it got awkward (still internally panicking, her mind is literally just: oh god should i tell her? What if she rejects me? Its a lot harder not to tell her than to wait 3 hours for a bus outside, should i tell her????????)
"mizu."
"(y/n)
You two called each other at the same time
Mizu has this expression, like a shy/surprised/nervous expression- which, by the way, is so not llike her cheeky, sly, teasing, aloof, serious, and sometimes cold face
You couldnt help but chuckle
AND MIZU'S FACE GETS EVEN MORE SHY/SURPRISED/NERVOUS (she's tryna get the courage to confess to you and you laugh at her 😭😭 how you expect her to react)
"i'm sorry, i'm sorry!" you quickly said when she looks away from you (now looking kinda defeated, it takes you back to the time she asked you a random question and you practically howled in laughter- its not your fault you find everything hilarious) "you just looked so shy and flustered earlier, it's cute!"
Mizu doesnt respond, shes just frowning now
Now you dont know what to do
"i'm sorry, what were you going to say?"
Mizu pauses for a moment and she just groans and holds her face in her hands
"i dont know anymore, it was a lot easier in my head but now-" she sighs, and she just sounds kinda sad. "i dont know."
Then she looks at you, with that soft gaze again
"how about you? What were you going to say?"
"oh, i was just going to ask if you want some tea or coffee, i'm going to make one."
"tea is fine."
When you leave she's just sitting on your couch, thinking.
This isnt how she wanted this confession to go.
She wanted to tell you somewhere else. Maybe outside during spring. When the trees are blooming and everything is shrouded in pink.
Or when it's winter, when you'll be covered in the thickest jackets. Maybe she'd ask you to go ice skating.
What she envisioned... Wasnt here.
At your place.
But as much as she wanted to wait it out, it was a lot harder than she thought.
So when you come back and give her a cup of tea, and you sit beside her on the couch
She just couldnt take it anymore
"I think I'm in love with you."
And 😭😭
She chose the worst fucking moment because now you're coughing up coffee all over your rug
Mizu immediately takes your mug off your hands to place it on the table. She pats you on the back.
she was super embarassed
When you recover, your face was whole red and your eyes were watery. not from her confession but because 1.) the coffee was hot 2.) you think it went in your lungs 3.) cleaning that rug is gonna be such a pain
Oh fuck
you look at her wide eyed
"You what?!"
"Are you okay?"
"No!- i mean yeah,- but forget about that for a sec, what did you just say?"
Mizu purses her lips, and looks at you
"I think I'm in love with you, (Y/n)"
You were unresponsive for a sec
Then there goes your beaming smile and eyes
"really?" you say
Mizu returns the smile and nods
I dont know what mizu was expecting to happen after but you were just really happy to hear her say that
So you went up to her and hugged her really really tightly.
You didnt say it back, but its so obvious. You're a grinning mess and she's a flustered mess.
She returns your hug and buries her face at the crook of your neck.
then you ask her when she had feelings for you
"Since the start." she said. "I just never realized it."
____
I think you let her sleep in your bed
😭😭imagine just saying
"you can sleep with me if you want to."
She turns to you with an eyebrow raised, her face saying "???????????"
"NO NOT THAT WAY-" you panic, "I MEAN LIKE," you deflate and you just sink in the sofa. hoping it'll swallow you whole. "...I meant sleep next to me." you say, embarassed
Now its her turn to laugh at you
"depends. what's your favorite position?"
Your jaw practically fell on the floor, you hit her over and over on the shoulder
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up! I take everything back, you're sleeping outside."
She easily (and achingly gentle) blocks your hits and somewhat loops her arm around your waist to hold you in place (you might fall off the couch).
"But I thought you love me back?"
"Not anymore, you're an asshole."
You're frowning, while she's smiling triumphantly.
Then she fixes your hair, and holds you by your head to tilt it down so she can press a kiss at the top of your head. She rests her chin on your head after she pulled away.
It was... so sweet and somewhat longing that it made your heart ache.
it finally crashed on you all at once how much she've been waiting to hold you like that.
So you wrap your arms around her waist and buried your face on her neck.
It feels right.
To be with her, to be around her.
It feels so natural and easy.
you dont have to put in so much effort for every interaction with her to work, same goes with her to you.
And when you two went under your sheets to head off to sleep
It was so domestic
She didnt feel like a stranger in your bed
It was like she was always meant to be there beside you. To be with you.
And you know what's the most interesting?
Mizu fell a sleep quicker than you did.
You just knew when her hand that was threading through your hair slowly grew lax, until it stopped moving.
So, you carefully undid the ties of her hair and let it cascade on the white sheets of your pillow.
You can only hear her low breathing and it was enough to lull you to sleep.
____
Expect that she won't be beside you when you wake up. But she did make you breakfast (you kinda wish she didnt). You just smell something burning and you just know 😭😭
Honestly, the scent of something burning was what made you get up
"mizu, i know you mean well but what even is this." you say staring at the egg she tried to fry that's practically black as coal at the edges.
"...an egg?"
"Wha-??? This was the first thing i taught you???Weren't you paying attention when i was teaching you???"
She pursed her lips
"no, i was looking at you the entire time."
You didnt know whether to face palm or to be flustered. But you were chuckling.
"mizu, i swear to god. You cant cook an egg without oil!"
"but i did it. i cooked an egg without oil." she said, genuinely confused
"that's not cooked, that's burned!"
It's a miracle that the fire alarm didnt sound off
Also btw, the same day, you saw your rug hanging on your laundry line. You just saw it after you got back home after walking her to the bus stop.
She cleaned it while you were asleep 🥺🥺
____
Ever since mizu became your girlfriend, she started showing you her chaotic, and playful, but sweet, caring, domestic, and loving side
She loves LOVES putting all the stuff you use on the TOP shelf or anywhere high that she can reach but you can't
Imagine your remote suddenly missing for WEEKS. she comes over to your apartment and she goes
"you dont want to watch netflix?"
"no..." you say sadly. "my remote is missing."
then she stands up and fucking- pats the top shelf and pulls out the remote
"What do you mean? It's right here." she said with a cheeky smile
You were just staring at her with your mouth open
"I almost disassembled my couch to look for that!"
"well, you weren't looking hard enough."
"oh, fuck you."
"i love you too."
Okay, that made your annoyance dissipate. She really knows how to get you.
____
Also fun fact, you and mizu kissed during winter. Your face was super cold and you told her about it, so she kissed your lips because your blush would be enough to warm up your face (it worked).
Mizu giggled while you stopped functioning.
___
Usual confessions i read end with nsfw, ive always wanted one that starts innocent and stays that way until the end. its super cute right??
Anways, I ran out of ideas during this time but i really wanted to get this out there 🥲

hi! i literally love how you write❤️
could you write a fluff with a little bit of nsfw (if you dont take nsfw requests, just do it all fluff, i love fluff so i doesnt bother me) with a fem reader x cloud?
here's how i want the story, but you can obviosuly change it to your preferences.
y/n was a childood friend of cloud,and she didnt see him in A LOT of years. then she encounters him and they basically talk about rhe the good old times. a month passes and it's y/n's birthday, they all celebrate at the bar and give y/n a present. then it's cloud turn to give her the present, and he gives her a boquet and a letter with some photos from much years ago. after that, he kisses her and she kisses back. after the birthday party, cloud was a little bit drunk so y/n took him at her house to take care of him and cloud gets all clingy and says things to y/n. (if you want to add some nsfw, you can add it in this part of the story)
thank you❤️
Happy Birthday Slowpoke
Tumblr media
pairing : cloud strife x fem! reader
description : an unexpected reunion leads to birthday wishes, unspoken love confessions, and drunken kisses.
warnings : small make out sesh but no smut, drinking alcohol (clouds gets drunk)
Tumblr media
Sector 7 gets quieter at night. Never silent. But quiet. Walking through the streets is much nicer at night when there aren't so many people pushing to get through. It’s easier to think. Easier to take in your surroundings. 
There’s a certain hum that brings you comfort as you walk through the nearly empty streets. You remember when you first came to Sector 7, nervous and scared, and still dealing with the aftershock of Nibelheim. 
Nibelheim. Cloud.
God. How was he still stuck so deep in your head after years? 
You missed him. Him and his stupid blond hair. 
It was embarrassing how fast your head would turn at the sight of any blond man. Any. Even children sometimes. You had to catch a second glance to make sure you hadn’t just seen your childhood friend run past you as he giggled with his friends. It was never him, but you hoped. 
The peace of your walk was disturbed by a man walking past you. Bright blond hair fluff led up like the feathers of a chocobo in black clothes, and heavy footsteps. He pays you no mind as he walks past you, but you force yourself to do a double take. 
But this man is different. Even with his back turned to you he feels familiar. His hair stands up, the way Clouds did when he was a child. He’s dressed in the garb of a SOLDIER with a big sword on his back, Clouds always promised he’d become a SOLDIER. And he even walks the same way Cloud would as a kid, trudging along his path, god forbid someone think of him as anything but independent.
It all feels too coincidental. And without thinking your lips open to speak, “Cloud?” 
“Hm?” The man turns, only his head and shoulder so as to not pay you too much care, to face you. And your mind is flooding with nostalgia.
Tumblr media
You're running after a young boy, blond haired, breathless laughs leave yours and his mouths. 
“Cloud!!! Wait for me!!” You squeal after the older 
boy whose legs carry him much faster than you can keep up with. And your tired legs, mixed with your lack of available air, are making it harder to match his pace. 
For a minute you think he doesn’t hear you, or maybe, that he doesn't want to listen. But soon enough he skids to a stop, looking back at you as he pants lightly. He wears a stupid smile on his face, cheeks flushed.
“Sorry y/n.. I keep forgetting I’m too fast for you. Your little legs can’t keep up,” He teases and lets out a juvenile giggle.
Finally you meet his side, matching his breath, “They can so!”. 
“Yeah right slow poke.” A childlike pout appears on your face, fitting for an 8 year old you. Always pouting. Always following after Cloud. 
You were never really sure why Cloud kept you around. But when you were kids, it never really mattered for more than a second. You just liked being around him, and him you.
“It’s not fair. You're older, your legs are longer!” He smiles down at you, laughing between heavy breaths.
“Only a year older.” 
“Still!” He stays quiet for a minute, letting you catch your breath without teasing you further. 
When you finally straighten back up, he’s still showing a giddy smile on his lips. Without a word, he grabs your hand in his, and takes off running the same way he had been before. Only this time you can keep up with him, pulled behind him.
“Cloud!” 
“Hm?” He turns to look behind him, a wide smile full of teeth on his face and eyes bright and blue. Still hopeful. 
Tumblr media
His eyes meet yours and you realize the same blue eyes are looking into yours, only they are tired and the hope of his youth has been long gone. Yours probably look the same, usually. But right now they are wide and beginning to tear up. And his pupils, blown in recognition, are nearly as wide as yours.
“Y/n?”
“Cloud!” In an instant you latched onto him, arms wrapped tightly around his torso. Your face squished against his hard chest, probably wetting the front of his tank top from the tears slipping from your eyes.
He’s hesitant, but eventually one hand lands on your back and the other grabs onto your waist, pulling you in impossibly closer to his body. When you were kids, hugs were nothing out of the ordinary, but this one feels so different. You’ve been longing to hug him since you were 13, longing to see him since you were 17.
It’s overwhelming, the amount of emotion flowing through your body. You're happy to see your best friend again. You're sad that you haven’t seen him in so long. And you're angry that he left without ever saying goodbye. 
“Y..you.. are you real?” 
You look up to find his voice, wiping away the wetness from your face. His hands move to touch your face, then to your shoulders and finally fall to his sides. 
“Yes, Cloud. I'm real. When..how.. It’s been years Cloud.” 
“I know.”
There are a million things you’d like to say to him. You’d like to scream at him and punch at his chest until he bruises, not likely you could hit him hard enough to leave any marks but you’d try. But then you want to hug him, and run through the streets with him hand and hand like when you were kids. You don’t know what to say to him, where to start, or if you even should. 
“I missed you.” 
“I know.” He doesn’t say it back, and the lack of emotion that he shows is almost aggravating. But you don’t make it known to him how annoyed you are at him for his underwhelming reaction to this reunion. 
You invite him back to your apartment and, with a lot of convincing no and many ‘pleases’, he agrees to join you for an hour tops. His hesitancy hurts your feelings, you don’t admit that to him though, god forbid he realize that you hadn’t changed much since you were young. Since he clearly had. 
“You can sit down, you know.” He raises his brows, your acknowledgment of his awkwardness unexpected, but he takes a seat at your small table. The chair he sits in is the perfect size for you, and while he’s not the tallest man you’ve ever encountered, he almost seems to not fit on it. 
He is so silent, it stirs up years of pent up sadness and frustration deep within you, and inside you deeper still a fury of anger festers. But you push it away, locking those emotions up for another night when you haven’t just stumbled into your best friend of 10 years after 4 years of being apart. And you offer him a drink. 
“Are you gonna tell me what you’ve been up to for the last 4 years?” He is silent, stoic, hides his face by taking a sip from the glass of water you offered him.
“Not tonight.” Your teeth grind together inside your mouth, holding back your tongue from spewing words better left unsaid. He must see the clench in your jaw, the anger and disappointment in your eyes, “But another time. I will.” 
You fill the rest of the night with slow, and awkward, conversation. He doesn't make much effort to initiate it, but he answers your earnest questions without any complaint. At least the ones that don’t involve his work, his past, his lack of a goodbye. So the night moves slowly.
It doesn’t feel like very long has passed at all by the time he tells you he has to leave. 
“Already?” 
“Yes. I’m sorry, my days are busy.” 
“Are you staying in Sector 7?” He nods, you're not appreciating this strong and silent thing he has going on. 
“Working?” Another nod. “Well..if you find yourself free next month, we’re celebrating my birthday at the Seventh Heaven..uh.. it’s Tifa's bar actually.!”
“I know.”
“Oh.. yeah I guess, you would’ve gone to see her.” 
“I didn’t go t- .. I’m sorry. I should go.” He walks to the door, posture straight and stoic expression broken by a look of pity for just a moment. You walk him out. 
You can’t help yourself from speaking as your eyes meet his back, your mind is lacking in self restraint tonight, “Will you come?” 
He faces you, mouth parted before a small smile plants itself there, “I’ll try, y/n, goodnight.” And he’s gone into the night with quickened steps.
Tumblr media
“Hey! Have some faith in him. I’m sure he’ll make it.” Tifa leans over the counter with a bright smile, sliding a drink into your hands. 
“Yeah, I’m sure.” 
The bar isn’t full, but the people that matter are here, most of them anyway. 
Biggs and Wedge, probably already tipsy based on the volume they're producing, are playing darts in the corner. Barret sits on the other end of the bar, Marlene seated beside him as they whisper between each other. And Tifa stands in front of you, a positive grin lingering on her face. 
“Y/n!” Marlene springs off the barstool, with the help of her father, and rushes over to you with a clumsily wrapped gift in her hands. 
“For me? Well thank you, Marlene.” You smile down at her, gently taking the gift from her hands and unwrapping it to find a bracelet made of beads and charms. 
“I made it for you. And I have one too! See?” She holds up her wrist, which you hadn’t realized was hidden behind her back, to show you the matching bracelet she wears. You lift into your arms, holding her in a tight hug. 
“They’re perfect Marlene, thank you.” 
With her still in your arms, you resume conversation with Tifa, and are promptly joined by Barret. You love them, like family of course. But you are so focused on the lack of Clouds presence that you forget to fully no appreciate the ones around you. 
Tifa reaches behind her, into the fridge and pulls outs an obviously homemade cake. “We decorated it together,” She slides a wink Marlene’s way and begins lighting the candles. “Make a wish y/n.” 
You think for a moment, it’s childish that you're hoping for your wish to work so genuinely, but you take a deep breath and blow out your candles with a heavy breath. One sweep. 
“What’d you wish for y/n?” Marlene’s voice is loud beside you. 
“Hey now.. you know the rules, I can’t tell you or else it won’t come true.” She pouts for a minute but her smile quickly returns when Tifa hands her a piece of cake. You take your own piece in your hands, sharing a smile with Tifa and Marlene. 
“Hey man! Good to see you. Glad you could make it.” 
Your eyes are moving faster than you can focus on the sound of Biggs’ words, finding the one person your wish standing in the doorway. In his hands he holds a bouquet, flowers of your favorite colors wrapped with paper and a pink bow.
He approaches you with a sheepish smile on his face, “Sorry I’m late. I didn’t know what to get you as a gift, I hope I got the colors right. Oh! And there’s this,” He reaches into his back pocket and hands you a sealed envelope. On its cover, your name is written in messy writing.
“These are ..beautiful, Cloud, thank you.” 
“Drink?” Tifa is cheery, as always, if not more so. 
“Yeah, thanks.” He takes a seat beside you and you try to hide the way your eyes linger on him. The muscles in his grown arms. The familiarity of his spiky hair. You're not so angry anymore, now that you've had time to process his return, rather longing for the relationship you had as kids. The closeness you’d been lacking in your friendships since he left.
“Are you gonna open it?” 
“What?” His voice brings you back to the moment, and you realize you’ve been ogling at him.
“The envelope..” 
“Oh! Yeah, right. Yeah.” 
You reach for it and carefully open it, trying not to rip the paper too badly. Tucked inside the envelope is a photo of the two of you as children and a folded up letter, reading : 
This is stupid. But I tried to write something so I wouldn’t have to say all this out loud.
I haven’t been around for a long time, so I don’t really know where we stand anymore. But as far as I know, you’ve been the only person I’ve been able to open up to about everything. 
Without you, I probably would’ve spent my childhood alone. 
When we were kids, I swore I’d be a SOLDIER. But to be honest it wasn’t all I thought it would be. And I’m sorry I left you for shinra.
And I know I should’ve said goodbye, and I probably hurt you when I left. But I’m here now, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. 
You were my best friend or you are my best friend, doesn't matter. 
Happy Birthday Slowpoke.
He looks at you intensely as he tries to gauge your reaction. It’s a simple letter, and could be written by a child with a little effort. But it’s Cloud, and it’s the most you can ask from a man like him. It still has your hands wiping at your eyes.
“Hey, did you make her cry? No crying on your birthday!” Tifa returns, leaning over the counter to slide Cloud his drink, looking over at you. “Y’alright?”
“Yeah I’m okay. I’m really good actually, thank you.. for this, Cloud”.
He nods, and you swear his cheeks redden, but he looks away before either you or Tifa can comment on it.
Cloud's drink is gone in moments, and he is asking for another, whilst making comfortable conversation with you. A ‘happy birthday’ ‘how’s your day been’ ‘what do you do for work now’ kind of comfortable. He doesn’t ask anything personal, does not dwell on the past, you almost wish he would. 
But you indulge him and his calculated questions, being satisfied with any conversation at all, and let the night flow.
It doesn't take long to realize that Cloud is not a drinker, or at least that he does not know his limits. It’s dark out now, and music plays from the jukebox, and Cloud sways drunkenly to a song. You can’t help but laugh, whilst also feeling weird seeing him be so free and not high strung. Not a SOLDIER, just a man.
He stands up, grabbing onto your arm to pull you over in front of the jukebox where Wedge is dancing with Tifa. 
“Careful Cloud!” You stumble after him, bumping into his chest as he pulls you. He doesn’t seem to notice, grabbing onto your hands to spin you and move you around. 
“You're a pretty good dancer now,” He moves you to face him, moving to the music still with a goofy smile on his face, “Do you remember.. when we..when we were kids and you would step on my feet ..everytime we danced.” 
You giggle at his slurred words, “You're so drunk right now.” 
“And you’re ..sso pretty..” He moves in closer, close enough that you can smell the liquor lingering on his lips. 
“Oh wow.. you're really drunk.. haha.” You make no effort to move away from him, but you laugh at his actions to relieve the awkwardness flowing from your body. 
“Mhm..” He closes the gap and places his lips against yours. Your hands find his chest, eyes falling close as you kiss him back. Your self control is weak, and you want to keep his lips against yours. But he's drunk, and your head is starting to spin.
Somehow you find the strength to push him away and he moves away with a pout on his puffy lips. 
“Let’s.. uh.. get you home, yeah?” 
“But I’m having fun!” He attempts to spin you, but he ends up making himself dizzy, “Actually, yeah.. that’s probably a good idea.”
“Yeah.” You laugh at his flushed face, holding onto his arm as you say goodbye to everyone and leave the bar.
“Can we go to yours?” He doesn't let go of you, even after you’ve walked halfway down an empty Sector 7 road, but he has instead moved his grip to hold your hand to keep you close to him.
“My apartment?” 
“Mhm.”
“Yeah..yeah sure.” He leads you to your own apartment like he knows the route by heart, he’s only been there once and yet he acts like he lives there by the speed he finds it.
Once inside he collapses onto your bed, not much space in the apartments, so you suppose that was normal considering there was no couch. 
“Do you want some water?” He shakes his head, laying on his back to stare up at the ceiling. 
You move towards the stereo on the opposite wall, turning on the radio so there is noise for you to focus on instead of his arms as they rest underneath his head.
“I missed you too .. y'know.” Clouds words barely make their way to you, his voice quiet and music humming just loud enough.
“Hm?” You turn to face him, moving to sit on the ledge of the bed in front of where he lays. 
“The night I saw you,” He leans on his elbow to hold himself up, “you said that you missed me. and I didn’t say it back. I did. I missed you. I just didn’t know what to say to you then.”
You don’t say anything, you're not sure what to say anyways. 
He looks into your eyes for a few minutes before pulling you by your arm so you lay beside him, but he shifts positions so he holds himself above you with his hands. 
“Can I kiss you?” 
“Yes.”
His lips meet yours once more. But unlike the bar this kiss is calculated, not clumsy and childish. He is drunk, and it’s obvious by the taste that remains on his lips even after he has licked them clean multiple times.
Your fingers find his hair, his knee finds its way between your legs and your chest begins to move quicker. He moves to latch his lips onto your neck, sucking spots that will definitely be purple and red tomorrow, while his hands find their place under your shirt on your hips.
And while you’d love for Cloud to continue his journey, the fact remains that he is drunker than a teenager on their 18th birthday, and you want this moment to be one enjoyed sober. So you pull his head up to meet his eyes, and very puffy lips. 
“Your drunk Cloud. I think we better save this for another night.” 
He pouts, face flushed, but he nods with a sigh. Getting comfy he finds a place to rest his head, on your chest, but his hands don’t move from your skin. If anything you feel his grip tighten, keeping you close as he practically lays on top of you. 
“I missed you, a lot. I thought I'd never see you again when you left.” Your fingers find his hair once more, rubbing at his scalp and playing with blond strands.
“I know. I didn’t think I’d see you either.” 
The room is quiet, except for the soft hum of music flowing from the stereo. His fingers tense and relax again in sync with his slow breaths, moving to trace the softness of your skin. But eventually his movements stop and he seems to still. 
“Cloud?”
There are still a million things you’d like to ask, like to say. And so many years of words you’d like to catch up on between him, months of love confessions that you had admitted to Tifa that you’d like to share with him. But the soft snores that begin to leave his mouth tell you he’s in no mood to talk right now.
“Goodnight soldier..”

Please love me is Jimin's line today
The hardest few seconds for me to watch, were these...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jimin was absolutely dreading appearing on screen without his trademark beautiful hair.
We know he left it as late as he could and didn't want to show anyone.
Tumblr media
He looked like he was barely holding it together when he called attention to his hair being shaved. He must have genuinely been scared of the reaction he would get, even from Kook.
"It looks good on you"
Jungkook, you absolute fucking LEGEND 💜
He knew exactly what to say.
When Jungkook told Jimin he looked good (even with no hair) Jimin turned his face away <those feels choking him up> and when he turned back, the almost desperate look of gratitude mixed with relief was so clear.
Please love me is Jimin's line today.
Tumblr media
This is not about vanity, ego or pride.
It brings home how fragile his confidence is. His need for approval and the assurance of being loved is strong. It’s so heartbreaking, but we know he hasn't had an easy road.**
Thankfully he did stand a little bit taller once JK reassured him...
Tumblr media
But it wasn't an easy moment for Jungkook either.
Whether because he had to witness Jimin's fear and could do nothing more than pet his head, or because he was facing his own misgivings (probably both) he looked equally lost in that moment.
Remember that these boys have left their home once before and journeyed to a place that was less than welcoming. They've had to face the grim, disproving faces of unkind critics and a system that didn't support or value them.
I don't doubt there were echoes of that feeling on this day, that same sense of trepidation they've known before.
We know how the military treats men like them.
Tumblr media
And then...
we got this:
Tumblr media
You can take the boy out of Busan but you can't take Busan out of the boy.
(People say this about my home town too...)
The shadow of fear is still there in his eyes but.... he looks like a (very hot) backstreet thug who will absolutely fuck you up no questions asked.
It does occur to me that MS might be the reason Jimin has been learning to fight.
I mean really learning to fight.
Yes he's probably doing boxing too but i suspect something more than that ... you shouldn't get torn knuckles from boxing lessons unless you aren't wrapping your hands properly, just saying.
Tumblr media
<Gotta love a person who can hold you and cradle your head, and also knock down an aggressor when they have to.>
If all else fails (words before fists, right?) I hope he can handle himself.
If he must defend himself, and someone (not him) looks like they've had a close encounter with his fists, I saw nothing.
I hope for both of them, their background will serve them well. In any case they will support one another and their love will see them through this. It's exactly why they are enlisting as companions.

This is no easy journey, for these young men (all seven of them) or for their families, their friends, and their loved ones. Yes, it's reality of life for every person in Korea, but that doesn't make it easier when it's YOU or YOUR person who is going away.
I am seeing them off with an in ache in my chest - I know we all are. But I'm toasting their successful military service, and their quick return.
짠 지민아, 정국이! We love you 💜💛
See you soon, Angels.
Tumblr media
** 'Hurry up and be me soon' ...
Some of us know how much it costs to put our authentic self out into the world. The sacrifices you have to be willing to make are huge. You're not only exposing your own vulnerabilities, but the flow on effect for your family and friends is real.
<talking specifically about Jimin here... how many times do you think his parents will have to say 'no, Jimin doesnt have a girlfriend, and no he isn't looking for one... No he doesn't plan to marry'.>
It's a long journey to self love and acceptance...
We know Jimin has been through a number of iterations of himself. He's been through the tough guy phase, the closed book, the siren, aloof and sophisticated, and the gently feminine.
The image he presents to the world is as much a construct as any person's is - and whether you're aware of this or not, all our public selves are social constructs.
"One size does not fit all" for queer people
For cis gendered heterosexual people, society has a few different ready-made constructs you can adopt, and the rest of society automatically understands the message you're sending. Most of them maintain the status quo of heterosexual cultural norms.
For anyone who DOESNT fit those norms, it's honestly never going to feel good expressing an image that isnt really you. Its like trying and make your circle self fit in a square box.
But theres nothing else that's readily available...
You really have to construct your public image from scratch.
When you aren't part of that typical demographic, figuring out how you want to be seen by the world can be an arduous and complex process.
How much do you reveal? How much do you risk?
You'll experiment with styles, behaviours, and social groups until you find a safe space you can occupy.
Jimin's safe space is with ARMY or his members, but it requires looking perfect.
Think about Jimin's hesitance to appear on camera without makeup. How carefully he chooses his clothes - whether for airport appearances, stage performance or out on the street. He usually has a team of people making sure he looks perfect. His hair is a trademark feature. It's always beautiful.
Remember that he's used to EVERYONE LOOKING AT HIM, ALL THE TIME.
Imagine how it feels to go out in public - against your will - with a shaved head.
Without hair, he would have surely felt naked. Plus, he's no longer in the safe embrace of ARMY, and his buffer of security and managers keeping him out of danger is gone.
He's immensely famous, but not universally loved (don't even go there) and bald, and small, and an IDOL, and very gay ... lets go with unlikely to be heterosexual.
No wonder he was feeling vulnerable.
Ngl, it broke my heart to see him so afraid but I'm sure he'll have a substantial group of supporters around him. I can only hope.
💜💛

Their ideal partners
Silly little hcs because ive been thinking what each of the lads look for in a s/o
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Slenderman;
Given I'm aiming for the "he's been observing humans for centuries and has grown used to their antics," vibe with him, I feel like he'd like someone who keeps him guessing
Nothing TOO crazy, because he can be irritable, but if you intrigue him he'll definitely stay around
Does he have any peculiar icks? Tastes?
Can't stand messy people... doesn't mind if its unorganized, or a chaotic system, but if you live in muck it's a deal breaker
Doesn't care what you look like, or what gender you are; he sees beyond that because, again, ancient being that's been watching humans for a long time.. kinda desensitized to that sort of thing
Tumblr media
Laughing Jack;
He WANTS someone who can match his energy; but he NEEDS someone who can mellow him out
As much as I hate the "I can fix/change him" thing (well I dont HATE it, it really matters on execution and all), Jack needs someone who can make him chill out a bit
Icks? You know those people who kill the energy in a room? Like total buzzkill + downers? He doesnt like those. Not like the "he hates depressed people" way, obviously, but in the way that
Okay so idk if this is just a me thing but I come across a lot of people who do it on purpose for attention/quirkiness, those are the kinds of people he doesnt like
Like slenderman, he doesnt really care what you look like; bros gonna slip himself around you like a snake (affectionately)
Tumblr media
Eyeless Jack;
Right off the bat he needs someone who's understanding
It ain't easy being a cursed man who's forced to eat human meat
Someone who's willing to listen to what happened to him, and help him see the brighter side of things
Basically a "storm cloud x sunshine" ship dynamic
Icks? As long as you're not too chaotic or hyper he's fine with it; Jack is more quiet and reserved energy wise, stress tends to make the curses symptoms worse
Prefers short people; he himself is also short (I hc hes about 5'5), and he's a lil insecure, but he's not totally opposed to dating taller people
Tumblr media
Masky;
Writing for specifically masky for this one instead of the usual tim, hope that's alright!! I just wanna flesh out him n hoodie more
Bro is kinda..... whouf... rough around the edges; kinda feral
Not like FERAL feral, but this is the kind of dude who tunnels on someone during his work and wont be afraid to body slam into stuff full speed/force
So naturally, he gets hurt a lot. So a caring and soft partner is an immediate go to; especially since in my hc/au tim still exists, just as a different.. persona? Headspace? I really dont know the correct terms <\3
He likes observing as well, but he'll occasionally join in on whatever activity you're doing!!
Icks? Loud people... I would say spontaneous people as well, but considering my take on him, he kinda falls into a softcore version of that category
Tumblr media
Hoodie;
Very similar to masky, but also not... between the two hes more.. calm and calculating; whereas Masky tends to dive straight in, in most cases
Should not that neither of them verbally speak; so they both need a partner who's fine with physical touch since that's one of their main ways of communicating/showing affection
Especially with hoodie; dude always has a hand on you and guiding you in some way
Unlike all the others, hoodie does not have ANY preferences for partners. Doesn't matter the personality, body type, and he doesnt have many icks
Like
Probably doesnt like arrogance, kinda just annoys him.... but hey, makes his.. job.. easier

hihi!! i hope tumblr doesnt delete this req cus sometimes tumblr req dont go through all the way so im praying this one works 😭
may i request a fic where reader constantly gets headaches (especially after a party or gathering) and leon takes care of them? i swear, every time i go out, my head always ends up hurting afterwards and i get nauseous on the way back home. tea and tylenol are like my best friends whenever this happens and i feel like having leon there with you to comfort you and help you through it would be nice and sweet :) thank you!
-Leon Kennedy x reader
Hiya lovely!! Hope I did this justice!! 💕💕
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
Leon knew the moment he picked you up from Claire’s house that you would have a killer headache, it was something that happened almost every time you went anywhere, you were used to it by now, but that doesn’t mean it made it any easier.
He frowns slightly, putting his seatbelt on, as he watches the way you rub your temples letting out a shaky sigh, his hand rests against your thigh trying his best to provide you with some kind of comfort.
“Here, let me help,” he says, leaning over to pull your seatbelt over your body, clicking it into place before he starts the car.
You rest your head against the window as you whisper a small ‘thank you’ entwining his hand with yours, “Did you have fun?” his thumb smoothes over your knuckles.
“Mhm, yeah it was fun, Claire’s getting another cat, it’s the cutest little fluff ball” you smile trying your best to ignore the sharp ache in your head, but that smile quickly turns into a grimace when Leon turns a corner, and you’re overtaken by sudden nausea.
Your arms wrap around your midsection as you slightly curl in on yourself, “We’re almost home angel” he says, his hand gently placed over your thigh.
Leon pulls up into your driveway, his heart aches at the painful expression that contorts your face, and how you let out a pitiful whine, you knew what was coming. Still, it never lessened the overwhelming pain that numbs your head, if anything you swear it gets worse each time.
“Have we still got Tylenol?” You mumble as Leon opens the car door for you, guiding you into the warmth of the house with his hand against the small of your back.
“Yeah I brought some” he presses a gentle kiss to your forehead before bending down to undo your shoelaces.
Leon was so attentive when it came to you on a normal day, so when he found out about your frequent headaches he wanted to do anything that would help, even the smallest things, to levitate the stress, and obviously you can’t say no to that.
“I put this on the radiator for you before I left” he says as he hands you one of his jumpers, you give him a grateful smile as you lean to press a kiss to his cheek before you climb into bed nuzzling into Leon’s pillow.
He takes a seat next to you, “How bad is it angel?” He asks with a soft tone as he brushes your hair out from your face, your knees curl up into your chest.
“It’s terrible” you hiss at the way your head seems to pulse with sudden sharp pain, “It wasn’t that bad this morning” you mumble, enjoying the way Leon’s hand rubs the expanse of your back.
“Why didn’t you say anything this morning?” He asks, his eyebrows furrowed with genuine concern as you take a shaky breath.
You glance up at his worried expression, an odd sense of guilt pinching your heart, “Because I didn’t want you to spend the whole day worrying about me” you confess, wincing slightly at the hurt in his eyes.
He leans down to press a kiss to your cheek before muttering a quiet ‘silly girl’ the back of his fingers graze along your cheek, “I always worry about you, you should have told me” he says and you nod against the cotton pillows as he pulls the blanket over your waist.
“I’ll get you some Tylenol sweetheart” and before he can stand up, you grab a hold of his hand.
“Could you also make me some of that tea you brought too? Because you love me” you weakly giggle at the way he playfully rolls his eyes.
“Of course, I will- I’ll be back in a minute, love you” he whispers keeping his voice down to not make your headache worse, you whisper back a quiet ‘love you too’ and you watch as he leaves the bedroom, closing the door after him to block out the landing light.
A minute passes by and you can feel yourself grow heavier with sleep, and you want nothing more than to close your eyes and drift off into dreamland, but the numbing pain that barges through your head is doing everything in its power to prevent that, and you can’t stop the build-up of tears that flood your eyes.
Leon comes back into the room, placing the warm mug on the bedside table along with a bottle of water and some medicine, and it’s only when he sits back down next to you does he notice the way your shoulders shake slightly and the soft cries come along with them, and his heartbreaks.
“Hey- hey, sweetheart you’re okay” he whispers as he gently wipes away your stray tears, he helps you sit up against the headboard, “Here take this and you’ll feel better” he promises as he pops out two of the pills, his hand holds yours as you take them with a slight groan.
“Thank you” You sniffle and Leon is quick to join you underneath the blankets, his arms wrapping around your waist and you gladly nuzzle yourself against his chest.
He presses a kiss to your forehead as his hands dip under your shirt to settle against the small of your back, “You don’t have to thank me, it’s what I’m here for angel” he whispers, pressing another kiss to the corner of your mouth.
His fingers trace mindless patterns against your back and you can feel your eyes slowly close at the calming feeling, “It hurts so bad” you whimper squeezing your eyes shut.
“I know, just give the medicine time angel, you’ll feel better soon, promise” You nod against his chest as your legs entwine with his under the warmth of the blanket and you eventually drift off to sleep, and Leon makes a mental note to call your workplace to give you sick day.

needy series : choi yeonjun
Tumblr media
needy bf!yeonjun x fem!reader
warnings: manhandling, choking, teasing, dirty talk, marking, swallowing/cum eating, oral, pet names, fingering, begging,
may or may not have blacked out writing this one… oops…
~ arisa ~
NSFW UNDER THE CUT , MINORS DNI
you’re at a party that is thrown by all of the groups from Hybe. though you are not an idol, you are friends with a large majority of them through your own line of work, so naturally you are invited to all of the parties that are held, which is also where you met your now secret boyfriend Yeonjun. keeping a secret like this is frightening, knowing that it could affect his career, as well as your own life in many ways. all of the members of Tomorrow x Together know about the two of you, but outside of them, nobody has any idea, and usually the two of you are great at hiding this secret from the world. however, it gets a little bit harder when Yeonjun looks at you the way he is tonight.
from across the room, you can feel his eyes burning holes into you from his intense stare. he knows that he has to keep your relationship a secret, not only for his sake but for yours too, but something about that little black dress hugging your hips perfectly, has him thinking about exposing the two of you, yet he still keeps his composure. well, he tries to…
he sees you make your way to the restroom and discretely follows you there, making sure not to cause any suspicion. the loud music and the lights strung around the room make it easier for him to sneak away for a few minutes, as he makes his way to you, waiting outside for you to open the door. Taking care of what you needed to take care of, as you open the door, you see him standing there waiting patiently, just to move you right back to where you were. closing the door, his hands find their way to your waist, holding you against the sink, as he stares deeply into your eyes, “you have no idea how bad i need you right now.” he says as his hands are roaming your body in that pretty black dress. your hands work their way up his back, running your fingers along his toned muscles, till you find your way to his hair. his weakness. the feeling of your hands running through his hair is like pure ecstasy to him. “do you now? then why are we still here?” you reply giving his hair a light tug, earning a moan of pleasure from him. before he can say anything else, you open the door and work your way back to the party.
disbelief written all over his face, as he watches you walk away, already planning all of the ways he will make you understand not to tease him like that, but for now, he returns to the party.
after another hour or so, you look at him from across the room, sending a gentle wink his way, before you start saying your goodbyes to your friends. immediately, Yeonjun picks up on your cue, and says that he is getting tired, and going to head home for the night. Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Kai all exchange confused looks with each other, considering it was his idea to go to the party, but let him escape for the night, saying that they would be home in a few hours.
you are the first to exit the house, taking off your heels before you start walking, but it doesnt take long for Yeonjun to catch up to you. another successful night of keeping your relationship a secret. you know your little tease is going to lead to an exciting night, so why not keep it going, just a little longer? as soon as you see Yeonjun leaving the party behind you, you take off running, hoping that the head start you have is enough to get you home first. as you are running down the road, trying to make sure your dress doesnt ride up too much, suddenly, you feel a pair of familiar arms wrap around you. “why are you running, princess?” he says as his hands start to explore your body in the dress that hits your figure perfectly. “just thought it would be fun” you reply with a smile. now that he has you, there is no way hes letting go. the rest of the walk home, he refuses to let you out of his grasp.
opening the door, you enter first, dropping your shoes, but before you can make it any further, you are pressed against the wall, Yeonjun already attacking your neck, making a point to mark you as his. “you think teasing me like that was a good idea?” his deep voice ringing through your ears, and his lips already leaving you speechless. “come on princess, use your words” he has you right where he wants you, speechless and under his control, unable to hide the fact that you want more of him. he picks you up, and you instinctively wrap your legs around his waist, as he slams his lips back to yours, filling your mind with passion. He walks the two of you to his room, and locks the door behind you, pressing you back up against the door when its closed. your feet reach the floor, as he presses his hips against you. you feel his cock growing against you, more and more with each kiss that is shared. he suddenly pulls away, leaving you chasing after his lips, as he just watches you in amusement. he grabs both of your wrists, bringing them above your head and against the wall, gripping tightly, refusing to let you move. “you sure you want to tease me again, pretty girl?” he says as his hands wander to your breasts, giving light pinches to your nipples. you let out light moans, unable to hide the fact that you want more. “not so fun when you’re the one being teased, is it love?” he taunts you, loving the way he has full control over you, knowing that he can do whatever he wants, knowing that you want him as much as he wants you.
continuing to tease you, he grabs your hair, tugging your head to the side, giving him access to your neck. thinking he would dive in and start marking you, you are left breathless, as he gently glides his lips across your neck, sending chills down your spine from feeling his breath against your skin. his hands still in your hair, he tugs again, earning a moan of pleasure from you, and that was all it took. unable to hide his composure anymore. his hands are up your shirt, groping your breasts, while his lips are attached to your neck, leaving deep purple marks. he swiftly lifts your shirt over your head, and moves his lips to your tits, again, leaving deep marks that are going to take weeks to disappear. the moans of pleasure leaving your mouth only entice him to go harder. his hand quickly dives into your panties, and his fingers immediately are working their way inside your soaking wet pussy.
“more baby, p-please, i-i need you” you stutter, finally able to make even a partial sentence between moans. he takes your panties off, and gets on his knees. shocking you from the sensation, as your eyes were closed, you let out a gasp when you feel his tongue slip into your pussy. his hands on your ass, pushing his tongue into you as far as he can, leaving you a moaning mess. “feel good baby? let me hear you” he says before entering you again. the pleasure of his tongue has you ready to cum all over his pretty face, but he abruptly stops, as you whimper for more. “what baby, tell me what you want?” he says with lustful eyes, “use your words princess.” but he has left you speechless, yet again. as quickly as he went down, he’s back up, pressing himself against you. he knows exactly what you want, but he wants to hear you say it with that pretty voice of yours. he wants to hear you beg for him, and he won’t deliver until he hears you.
“i-i need you, jjunie. please, i n-need you inside of m-me, p-please” he attacks your lips with his, as his tongue slips between your lips, biting at them and leaving little bruises. finally, he takes off his own clothes, as he presses you against the wall again. before you can even make a sound, he spins you around and pushes you up against the wall again, hands gripping at your waist. he enters your soaked pussy with a deep thrust, as you yelp from the pressure that is suddenly inside of you.
he continues, hard and deep, as your moans grow, filling the room, motivating him to thrust into you faster. he takes himself out and lifts you up again, and you wrap your legs around his waist. he enters you again, and presses your back against the wall, supporting both of you, while fucking you senseless. he carries you to his bed, and throws you down before climbing on top of you, spinning you around again, and lifting your hips up. hitting you from behind, he can see your ass bounce against his cock, while you are screaming from pleasure, gripping the bed sheets, as if that would help you. “god you’re so sexy when you’re screaming for me” he says as he grips your hips harder, slamming his own into you.
he can tell you’re close with the way your walls grip his cock, and he’s doing everything in his power to keep his composure. “you’re so fucking tight, are you gonna cum for me pretty girl?” he says as his thrusts begin to lose their rhythm. still screaming from the pleasure, he exits your pussy and spins you onto your back. before you can even comprehend what happened, his dick is back inside of you, both of you moaning, you from his size, and him from your walls closing in around his cock. “cum for me baby, let me see your eyes roll” he says, as his hand reaches to your neck. a gentle grip, just tight enough to make you look at him, as he continues to slam his cock into your pussy. before you know it, the knot in your stomach begins to unravel, and the small bit of composure you had left is gone. your eyes roll, and your back arcs, as he continues to slide in and out of you. “fuck baby” he says, indicating that he is also at his limits. he pulls himself out of you, grabbing his cock, and giving himself a few more seconds before he grabs your hair, and brings his cock to your mouth. instinctively, you open, and let his seed fill your throat, making sure to swallow all of it, before the two of you collapse onto the bed.
after a few minutes, he gets up out of the bed, and makes his way to the bathroom. shortly after, you hear the water in the bathtub start, and know immediately that he is preparing a bath for the two of you. he may tease you, and he may be a little rough with you, but one thing is for certain, he will always take care of you after.

thinking about how gortash keeps emphasizing how he and durge “always knew we had to work together to avoid the failings of our predecessors.” like he knew infighting and petty betrayals are why an alliance between the dead three never worked before, so he was probably the one trying to defuse any arguments with durge by being like we TALKED about this, we HAVE to stand together!
but they overcorrected. previous alliances might have fallen through because the chosen couldnt get along, but this one fell apart because the chosen of bane and the chosen of bhaal fell in love. and i bet he tried to deny it at first. “we just work extremely well together, we know the value of alliance, thats all” until durge goes missing.
and he tries to convince himself he doesnt care. “we still have a chosen of bhaal, i can still make this work. if i miss durge it’s just because they were easier to work with, thats the only reason.”
and then he finds the prayer of forgiveness. and i dont even know how he would continue to delude himself after that, heres proof their feelings were becoming more than just a working relationship. and he lost that. :)
Gortash: democracy is bad. people need to be forced to do things for their own good. the world needs a dictator. i don't think i can take it over on my own, though, so i'll get a co-tyrant, and just get rid of them later. hey, scion of bhaal, let's work together.
Dark Urge: ok.
Gortash: fuck, you're so hot for that. oh no. maybe i don't want to get rid of you.

What do the proxies think of each other?
this is gonna be kinda messy and disorganized but i got it HANDLED
again, THIS IS ALL MY AU!!! there is a streamline, detailed plot that intertwines, so these characters mingle and grow in ways they probably wouldnt in canon, since different events follow them here O/S Syndrome = Operator/Slender Syndrome, aka slender sickness
Toby: He thinks of Brian and Tim kinda like shitty uncles who only come around every now and again . they used to taunt him a lot cuz toby was always like. annoying, selfish, sarcastic - so it would piss them off, and they'd piss toby off, and then it would be pretty bad. but as toby gets older and calms the fuck down, it gets better between them . he gets pretty sad when they eventually cut him(and everyone) off to move to like, canada or oregon or something.
he likes kate. theyre both outcasts even in a group of creeps and killers and literal monsters.... so toby's always been nice to her. when she refused to come to the cabin, he ended up dragging a mattress over to the mines for her. brings her food, gallons of water, t shirts. she owns random band t shirts that she doesnt even listen to cuz toby gave it to her LMFAOOO . he's the reason kate starts coming and staying at the cabin
Kate: she hates tim. completely cannot stand him. she hates when slendy makes them work together. he's been a dick to her since he met her, because their first time meeting was um. her dragging tim through the forest while he was unconscious. and she was generally part of what tormented him during the events of marble hornets (IN MY AU OBVIOUSLY). he's also uncomfortable because when she kills people she does it with her bare hands. will lick the blood and dirt and grime off her fingers. generally freaky.
she's better with brian. he doesn't remember her tormenting him so much during MH, but he still knows - but he's better at empathizing with her situation. he kinda pieced together what happened to her, while tims just blinded by like. anger and trauma. dont get me wrong, brian is still uncomfortable around her (again, she acts really scary when working), but when she's not working and she just sits there. she looks so tired, and she's so quiet, and its sad. he feels for her.
she likes toby, too. first person to treat her fully like a person after becoming a proxy without her having to like, beg for it (directly or indirectly). again, he brings her things, he's kind to her, laughs with her. he'll tease her and make fun of her but she can tell it's not with ill intent so she'll do it back - she considers him her best friend for a while.
Tim:
HE'S A HATER HE'S A HATER HE'S A HATER ok i know i call him an asshole and say he's mean a lot but i legit am not mad at him and i think he is within reason (like 60% of the time) since like. kates dragged his unconscious body through the forest and left him covered in scratches/bruises, toby's almost always throwing the first punch, he's had his entire life derailed for so fucking long, and these kids don't make it any easier- he could've been in kates position, which is the one thing that makes him kinda hesitate when he wants to say smth mean. he usually isnt an asshole unprompted, but he'll always take it the second step.
a lot different for brian. he wanted him dead for a while too. blamed him for a lot of stuff, but at this point he........... has nobody else. brian is his friend. i feel like writing too much about the complication of their relationship kinda takes away from it. theyre roommates, they leave together, they'd fight tooth and nail to stay in eachothers lives. despite everything
Brian:
i feel like i dont have a lot to say about brian since I already described everyone else's relationship...
just to sum it all up with him, he cares more about all three of them then he lets on. but he's also a lot better at showing he cares. he brings some basic groceries and beer and shit over to the cabin pretty frequently, he'll hang around toby and if kates there, ask if she needs anything. she usually just shakes her head, but on the off chance she says she wants like. a specific drink. he kinda feels like he got +1 friendship points with her LMFAOOO . and obviously he jokes around and messes with toby when they're not fighting
and again, same thing with tim. that's his friend. he's missing a LOT of memories from the events of MH, but tim hasn't hesitated in telling him how he feels about it... and he feels bad. it all sucks. even now, he says things he doesnt mean, just because all of the guilt and anger and trauma gets him and tim both riled up. then they go get a drink together and move on
overall, the proxies are pretty messy. brian and tim arent very present anymore, toby and kate are sort of taking on their 'in charge' roles. their relationship slowly mends itself over time, since my AU largely focuses on improvement and recovery and redemption (HOWEVER MUCH THEY CAN ALL THINGS CONSIDERED...), but its still pretty bad

hi hello! any tips on composition? yours is just breathtaking!
so what i like to do is to come up with the main element at first! usually its a character doing something they might be standing/sitting honestly just draw them however you want they might be holding something etc you can think of a background if you want to..and then i like to think about all the things thay i think "match the vibe" of the main element and of what i wany to achive and with every other element it kinda just gets easier...honeatly with my sea drawing i knew from the beginning that i want to put a few things in boxes but i wasnt sure what i wanted to add but the more i thoughy about the sea the easier it was to come up with things its honestly just an association game tbh it doesnt always have to make sense haha honesyly just try to have fun sometimea i draw every element separately and then glue them together however i want to and sometimea i add or change things while im mid rendering hahah composition is a struggle for me too but i try my best sorry that was a long response😭 also i know it takes time but its worth it figure out by yourself what works for you, i think you alwats have to keep in mind that digital art is digital art and it has soo many possibilities sorry if thay was too chaotic im to lazy to read it all again...

Moment of Peace
sorceress!reader travels with geralt and ciri as their healer and ciris mother figure as geralts wife. one relaxing day, reader shows ciri a little party trick that geralt doesnt know yet. ends with geralt and reader play fighting about why she didnt show him but showed ciri; and them all acting like a family
Tumblr media
(not my image)
As we finally settle in a meadow, surrounded by forest, I let out a sigh of relief. The feeling of sun against my face and the soft soil beneath me feels amazing.
"Ciri! Y/N! Go collect water. I'll be right back." Geralt commands, but before he can leave to collect wood and sustenance for the night, you stop him and give him a quick kiss.
"Be safe."
"Always am."
Those simple four words are all you need before you walk off into the forest for a few yards, before you come upon a clear water stream. You see Ciri standing in the water and feeling the sun while collecting water. As you join her in the water, she looks up.
"So... why do you allow him to order you around if you're his wife?" Ciri, blunt as ever, asks, not understanding that this is Geralt's way of showing his love.
"He doesn't 'order' me around. It's his way of keeping us safe. I'm a mage and can keep you safe. You're training and can keep me safe. Plus, he goes off and does the dangerous hunting, so we don't have to. It's his way of showing love." I explain his actions and why I react without losing my patience with the way Geralt talks to me.
"Oh. I didn't think about it like that." Ciri ticks her head to the side and continues to collect water.
"Geralt isn't conventional. But he is exactly how I want him. I wouldn't want it any other way." I start towards the bank of the river and continue walking along the greenery of the forest.
As Ciri looked on as you walked, she watched in mystery. The forest seemed to bend to your will. The trees would part to make a path for you and the stones would roll out of the way, leaving only soft soil for you to walk on.
As you both reached your camp site, Geralt was dragging a large deer, and a cloth behind him that was filled. Probably with wood.
You and Ciri both put your jugs down as Geralt drops the sack of wood off near you and walks to the trees to skin the animal for food & it's hide.
You have the sense to build the fire and let Ciri light it later. She's normally sleepy when you build the fire. Makes it easier.
As you both run around, you find a good size patch of daisies.
"Ciri!" You call over the girl, "Come here!"
The blonde girl runs over to see what you're looking at.
"Would you like to learn how to make a daisy chain? You can even put one on Geralt, if you'd like." You throw out the tempting offer to make the Witcher seem silly.
And Ciri quickly agrees. You sit down, careful to avoid the daisies, and show her how to make a daisy chain/flower crown.
As the sun is no longer at its nice, warm heat and enters the baking heat, you take Ciri down to the stream again to clean up. 'The sun will dry us faster' was your reasoning to drag the girl with you.
As you are cleaning your clothes and yourself off, you see Ciri doing the same. Perfect.
"Hey, Ciri! Would you like to see something?"
"Um... What is it?"
"I promise, no harm will come unto you from me. It's just a little party trick."
"Ok..." She waded closer to you as you met her in the middle of the stream.
You magically gathered the sweat and water from Ciri and yourself, throwing it into the air and condensing the clouds around the sun to have more water, allowing the clouds to form a sort of circle around the sun. As the sun continues to shine, the clouds begin turn colors... briefly pink, then a light green, and there's a light blue! (Refer to the picture at the top)
Ciri looks at the sky in awe. "You can do this?" She points to the clouds.
"Yes. When I was at Aretuza, they taught not just politics and magic. They taught basic sciences. This was one of those. I had asked my teacher why there as a rainbow after every rainfall. She explained it to me. Since then, I had been practicing it until I was able to perfect it. Took a couple tries, but it came one day, and it stayed."
"And you never showed me?" A deep, hulking voice inquired from the shadows. Of course, the yellow cat-like eyes gave him away.
"I'm sorry, Geralt. I thought of it as a mere party trick. And it's not like it is helpful when we are off on adventures." I laugh and 'apologize' for not showing my husband sooner.
"You better be sorry!" He charges out of the woods and into the stream, getting both you and Ciri wet again, before lifting you by the waist and carrying you back to base on his shoulder. Everyone was laughing and peace was covering the three of them.
Just a moment of peace.

so 358/2 days, amiright? heres my thoughts
this game is just. god its an emotional rollarcoaster
i guess ill start with the things i dont like!! which is mostly the gameplay. i dont really mind the mission structure shockingly (i like being able to roam around but having a clear goal makes things easier for my adhd ass, and i think the miniature storylines are very good for the most part) but i simply could Not get into the combat. especially coming off of kh2 it feels so stiff and unfun to play the only part of the game where i enjoyed the combat was fighting riku at the very end. i think the panel system is okay but i dont like that levels take up space. why did they do that.
story-wise, i dont like the retcons!! a lot of the ones i take issue with are very minor but things like roxas only fighting riku once instead of the implied multiple times (even the dialogue doesnt make sense when you change that, why does roxas say 'how many times do i have to beat you' when theyve only fought once?) are the kinds of inconsistencies that just annoy me.
im also a little bit annoyed at the very concept of this game at all. i think roxas worked just fine as a character without this game. it feels sort of unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. also, xion. i love xion, dont get me wrong, but i dont think she adds anything to the series over all. thats not to say she doesnt add anything to this game because shes a great character and i love her, but shes just. kind of like this game in that if you got rid of her i dont think it would really change the narrative so much.
BUT DESPITE THAT ALL!!!!!!!! i fucking ADORE this game. it is genuinely so full of charm and soul that i just cant bring myself to dislike it. i think this is one of the best written games in terms of dialogue. every scene (at least for me) hit exactly as emotionally hard as i think it was meant to. i was laughing at demyx's antics and crying at xions death and yelling at saix and i think thats exactly how the game is meant to be seen.
days at its heart is a slice of life. its working a 9 to 5 its going through a depressive episode its losing friends its grieving its making fun of your coworkers its living. its a game about life and i love that.
this game really did make me forget that axel roxas and xion dont get a happy ending. i spent so much time looking forward to them making up that i forgot that roxas ran away. hell i almost forgot that xion died.
days is emotional and its story and its characters are just so fucking good. the conflicts all felt very real and you can tell exactly where everyones coming from. the way axel roxas and xion fall apart hits so fucking close to home. but god damnit if axel had any good communication skills like half of this could be avoided
its also one hell of a love letter to axel's character. hes always been one of my favorites (he recently earned first place) and i think this game does him a lot of justice. hes trying to do good. he wants to keep everything together he wants to be there for his friends he wants to make things right but he just cant. its just AUGH its so fucking good
that thing about axel's characterization really also applies to roxas. i dont have much to say about him beyond the fact that i think it does his character very well. also tism. hes so autism.
i kind of like the very limited graphics too. sue me i enjoy low quality games. the hands are not animated and they all have two expressions (blinking and not blinking) and their weapons are flat and im living for it. the very few fully animated cutscenes are good too!!
the (real, i dont count riku) final boss is unfortunately very easy. you can just stand directly in front of her and mash a she wont hit you its too easy but vector to the heavens did mess me up a bit. also earlier scene but "ill always be there to bring you back" with the other promise playing over it? fucked me up man. yoko shimomura is once again killing it
i cant believe roxas didnt get to go to the beach.
i have to give this game a 9/10. its writing is incredible but the gameplay could use a lot of work. its just not fun to play. but again the characters, emotions, and music all make up for that tenfold.

glad to see u back ! ^-^ take your time writing this, you must be tired
general relationship sfw and nsfw hcs of jeff or / and liu with a reader that is pretty rude and quiet with people except their boyfriend? (feel free to choose one of them or maybe both ! <3) they can be rude to people sometimes, but with their boyfriend theyre just so much softer. they are still a bit quiet, but the cold and mean attitude is kind of gone (they can still be sarcastic sometimes.), they listen to them carefully and make sure to be patient with them. the reader is just an observer. gn or male would be nice!
take care!! >_<
Jeff the Killer and Homicidal Liu with male observant reader!
➥ Hi hello love!! Im back im here!! here you go sweetie! No NSWF im so sorry dove but just no thoughts head empty! T^T
I wrote something similar for Jeff so you can see it here if you want more! :)
Tumblr media
.•┈••✦ 🖤 ✦••┈•.
☆ Jeff the Killer
Same!! Jeff is meanie and a tease to other people (to you sometimes too!) but you are kinda special - maybe becasue you are his boyfriend? Who knows! He just cant help but have soft spot for you! You and Jeff will be partners in crimes 100%, both causing chaos and misery! Anyways, your personality make him melt - he loves the fact that he is this special person and only he can see you like this. I believe Jeff would be pretty jealous and possesive partner, so you definitely make it all easier! He is also pretty sarcastic person to everyone so he finds himself pretty well in your company. Jeff also appretiates how patient you are with him. There is no suprise that he is an asshole and his mood can switch pretty fast and deep down he is many many issues, so its important to him to have understanding boyfriend! Also definitely overuse th fact that you are such a observer and wants to know what did you learn about someone - he will use it later against them lol.
★・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・★
☆ Homicidal Liu
Liu also adores that! The only thing he need in life is feeling safe and loved, and you are the best person to do that! Loves hearing you out and be heard, and due to his mental health issues, he needs someone patient and soft. No worries, you got the same in return! I believe Liu would be pretty cold too, maybe not mean but just..distant? when hanging around people he doesnt really know. He is either just quiet or his answers are pretty short. Also used to sarcasm, he uses it on daily basis. Doesnt mind you being quiet, he is on more calm side too! Not to the point when he will be like 🧍standing and just staring, not making any noise, but he isnt the most crazy and spontanious one. He loves the fact that he is so special to you that you are way softer and arent a meanie, man you feed his ego so much. Amazing boyfriend for amazing boyfriend!

This may be specific but I also think it would be kind of cute
Okay so Eyeless Jack x reader who is like pretty intimidating looking and always keeps a stoic expression on and also really tall
Then he gets to know them and it's like "Oh you're not scary, just ✨️traumatised✨️" because they only show emotions to those they trust
Like they will glare at someone who said something mean then be all lovey dovey to Jack but still a little reserved cause they're still new to the whole "wow someone actually loves me"
Could you make 2 versions? One being platonic and the other being romantic (also reader just straight up denying that Jack is insecure cause how could he? He's the definition of perfection in their eyes)
Eyeless Jack x stoic!reader whos sweet to him (?)
i must admit it took me a little while to think of some ideas for this prompt, my apologies for the delay </3 i also wasnt too sure what to title this TToTT but regardless i hope you enjoy this! even through the struggle for ideas, i gotta admit, this idea is adorable esp since i personally write jack to be more self loathing mainly written as platonic but there is a segment at the end for romantic hcs ! easier than to write two separate full fledged sections!
uhuh light CW for implied SH on ejs part since the admin thinks that while jack is slowly descending into his whole.. demon thing hes physically and mentally fighting with himself to remain lucid; nothing explicitly written but id rather be safe than sorry
Tumblr media
honestly i think it might take him a good hot minute to really let you treat him like hes deserving of anything more than a scowl, especially if he sees how you act around other people... because why him, of all people? there are people better for you
yet he doesnt stop you from coming to his cabin in the woods, he doesnt stop you from doing some work around the place so its safer and more habitable for him, he doesnt stop you from patching up his clothing and washing them. why doesnt he stop you? he knows he doesnt deserve it...
he almost hates the way you look at him sometimes, if you look at him with pity. like hes some lost dog needing someone to take care of him
he doesnt need help, hes been doing this whole thing by himself for a long time now and he hasnt needed anyone
and yet
he doesnt push you away when you go in to clean his face after a particularly nasty fight with himself
you even run a warm bath for him
its been so long since hes been warm
i like to think that he tries to seek you out when you dont come to visit him for a few days.. did something happen to you? were you hurt? sick? did someone do something to you? did you move away? where did you go...?
wont ever admit it but i think hes at least a little starved for a connection, sure hes a hermit and he was already closed off before he started turning into this man eating monster, but deep down he still has his human roots in there kicking, and humans thrive on connections... in the truest sense, he needs you. not sexually or carnally or romantically, he just needs someone to talk to him to keep him from going truly mad
finds himself thinking about you more than hed like to admit, even if he doesnt have any romantic feelings for you hes going to beat himself up. he came here to his silly little cabin in the woods to get away from people for everyones sake; only coming out when he needs to 'hunt'
its like befriending a stray cat, i think. they hiss and swipe at first but overtime they try to cuddle up to you if you give them enough time to build up that trust
admin likes to think he has pointed ears, and i think that they would twitch a little if he sees a smile forming on your face...
as for romantics....
i think he would look at where you walked off to, to go home... longing, almost daring himself to go after you or say something because he cant stand spending another night alone in the woods
leaves you gifts, anonymously, but leaving them none the less. if you ask if he was the one who left them hes not going to admit it, you can imply that you know it was him, but he will hold firm in his denial
building off of the ear idea, he totally gives himself away when he starts blushing... he looks like the type to have his blush reach his ears... not too mention the flicks dont make it any less discrete,,,
even he doesnt notice it, but he tries to make excuses for you to stay around longer during hang out sessions, stopping just short of offering to watch the grass grow
i think this would feed into his self loathing, though. in my eyes, jack was dragged into a human sacrifice unwillingly and unknowingly. his life was robbed away from him, he was robbed of ever having a normal life with you... you deserve better, he thinks. very heavy shit, you know? i think it leads to his mental state being even worse than before
god i had intentions of going into this with fluff but this just came out angstier than my middle school ocs TToTT

tell me more about tbgo poppy creek rivalry 👀
ok this got kinda long sorry LOL i have some thoughts on how itd work
so, i think instead of creek deliberately antagonising branch bc he gets some sick kick out of it, its creek trying (and failing) to worm his way back into the snack pack, and more importantly into poppys life. poppy would struggle with wanting to grab him and shake him and throw him off a cliff AND wanting to set a good example to her kingdom, to follow the mantra of "no troll left behind". in public she has to put on a brave face, and pretend like she actually tolerates, maybe even LIKES creek, but if theyre alone (or just with branch. branch still hates creek hes just not the focus) poppy actually lets him have it
since creek episodes would focus on poppy instead of branch, more of the snack pack actually get involved with the creek situation. they are treated as actual characters, and most of them dont like creek either but ALSO have to pretend to tolerate him: it wouldnt look very good if the queens friends dont follow her lead, right? creek becomes the one guy of the friend group that no one actually likes. obviously he wouldnt be an ACTUAL member of the snack pack and he still wouldnt be used nearly as often as guy diamond and smidge, but he still ends up "part of the gang" several times, and its made VERY obvious that they cant stand him. creek probably notices, and then we get some of that delicious twerpitude he shows with branch where he gets all touchy and mocking because he knows they cant do anything about it
creek week would be about poppy struggling to figure out how to deal with creek. her dad always said "no troll left behind", and even though creek wanted to leave EVERY troll behind, poppy cant deny that he is still a troll. she lets him back in the village, but says she will keep a very close eye on him. he says oh hes sure she will, she always used to when she thought he wouldnt notice 😉. poppy shudders. the rest of the episode is poppy watching, and hating, how creek reintegrated into the village. since the snack pack are the only ones who really know how creek acted, other trolls find it much easier to forgive him: theyre sure he really DID feel like he had no choice! its not like he looked super smug while telling them or anything! maybe branch also suggests the waterfall test (still using himself as bait), and poppy is desperate enough to go through with it, except instead of being cast out from the snack pack (they would not be present in the scene) poppy instead sees creek look all sad and pathetic. and she knows she shouldnt, but she feels bad. hes still a troll. she says hes sorry, and he says he forgives her because thats what friends do, then reaches out for a hug. branch shakes his head. poppy hugs him. the camera focuses on poppy, looking torn and uncomfortable, then on creek, looking smug, then on branch, who pinches the bridge of his nose and groans. episode ends.
haircuffed, this might be controversial but i think its peppy who ties them together. he thinks they used to be so inseparable, and whatever lovers spat (poppy tells him thats not what this is. he laughs it off) theyve got going on can just be solved by spending some quality time together. poppy is horrified, and says dad, no, you dont understand, its a difficult situation! creek is unbothered, but he says hes looking forward to spending a loooot of time with poppy. hes really wanted to catch up :). throughout the episode, creek acts exactly like he did when they were dating (ie, manipulative and controlling with a pretty icing coating), and poppy cant believe she ever saw anything in him. poppy would still pretend to get along with creek, just like branch did in the actual episode, but instead of them both agreeing to "act so close that it creeps poppy out into releasing them", poppy doesnt make any plan with creek. she just pretends that she actually forgave him, that theyre actually close, until peppy decides theyve buried the hatchet and releases them. branch, who had spent the whole episode brainstorming ways to reverse the haircuffs (explaining his absence), arrives with a chainsaw (the same one creek pulled out) and chases creek into the distance. peppy asks if shes gonna stop branch from attacking her friend. and she says no, dad, i hate that guy. ill fill you in.
the fast and the friendliest, instead of it being mentor vs mentor, poppy just doesnt want creek mentoring ANY of the children. shes seen what hes capable of! he has an utter disregard for anyone elses safety! and creek says "wow, poppy... i thought you really believed i changed... i guess you dont trust me afterall..." and otherwise lays it on really thick, until poppy gives in and says he can mentor priscilla, since shes the smartest and could probably tell if hes about to endanger her. throughout the episode, poppy sees creek work with priscilla and, wow, hes actually being very responsible! and priscilla seems like shes having a good time! maybe... maybe he really HAS changed. maybe he IS trustworthy! then, on the day of the event, creek finds out that branch is one of the other mentors. he didnt know, since he was so focused on poppy, but he still wants to show up his "competition" of course. he tells priscilla he has absolutely no doubts about her ability to win, but... just to make sure theres no chance she gets even close to second place, he attaches a booster bug to priscillas flyer bug. then it happens exactly how it does in canon, with priscillas flyer bug malfunctioning. branch and keith save priscilla, and even though theyre both tied for last place they look like they had fun. priscilla thanks creek for mentoring her, even if she ddnt win. creek loses his temper a bit, and says the only reason he volunteered in the first place was so his pupil could WIN! he wanted to prove he could be a GOOD mentor! he wanted to impress POPPY! he didnt care about this childrens event, he didnt care about PRISCILLA! priscilla starts crying, and poppy is pissed. she says this was supposed to be a fun event for the kids, and she thought he really wanted priscilla to enjoy herself. she thought he really changed. she thought he was trustworthy. she leaves, followed by branch (who sticks out his tongue) and keith (ditto). creek looks sad and pathetic. priscilla has calmed down a bit, and now shes with her parents, who say something about pursuing legal action against creek for the child endangerment. someone throws a tomato at him.
unsure about how bad luck branch could work with this new dynamic since... it is very specifically about branch. maybe instead of biggie being his partner, poppy is (and biggie is the presenter)? and creek talks about how branch is Clearly ruining everything for poppy, really love i dont know what you see in this jinxed troll. and poppys angry, because that is HER boyfriend youre talking about! poppy is the one who gets fixated on clearing branchs bad luck, but by the end of the episode she realises that SHE was the one causing the "bad luck" by getting in her own head and stressing branch out. she says shes sorry, and branch forgives her because theyre "best friends", and they agree to try their best for the rest of the event no matter what happens. the ending is exactly like in canon, with creek ending up eating shit and losing the game for himself and aspen. sorry aspen!

REUNION
Part 5: an End and a Beginning
Tumblr media
*yawwwnnnn* uhhww good morning Sequoia.
Good morning Ren. How do you feel ?
I feel alright, apart from a slight headache. Damn those two .... eheheh. Where are they anyway ?
Oh they were up early already and wanted to go outside for some running and training. A good thing they do that, otherwise they get too excited during the day later.
Ahhh.
You seem still to be absolutely not a morning viera, gahahaha!
Uhhh, not at all. But I guess we have something to discuss ?
Yes.
So what's the plan?
Tumblr media
Sequoia sipped from his tea and placed the cup back on the plate.
I want to send Koori and Kaen on a mission. The last one.
Oh? What mission would that be ?
Well, Dorian and Faunus went to Thavnair. Ash and Akane went to Hingashi. Dawn, your mom and sisters are somewhere near the Range still. We all had to leave home bc of the war with the Empire. I want to bring them all back and live here with you in Eorzea. I know i said i want to disband the Treehouse Club. Now, our friendships are forever, but we also should have a proper life for ourselves. Our tribe doesnt exist anymore. The only tribe we have is our friends. I want to see us all together just one more time.
That would be nice, to see my friends again, and my family. But i have one question. How will the twins travel and find them?
They know the way back.
You know Sequoia... those lands are not really near...
I know.
Maybe i can help in some way. There is someone I know who can take the twins with him and make the trip much more efficient.
Oh? How do you mean? Sequoia asked this with great interest and looked at Ren.
Tumblr media
During my time here in Eorzea I took part in many travels, and many adventures. Some of those took me to places that are not reachable by foot, nor by any transport overland. In every major Eorzean city there is a special bay for airships.
Airships?
Airships. Vessels that float in the sky, and can travel at greater speed and reach destinations much more faster then any horse or carriage. I know this guy, Cid who has one of those airships and might help me with taking the twins on their journey. If he agrees then their journey will be much more easier and very short.
That actually sounds like a goo-!
Sequoia and Ren's conversation suddenly got interrupted by the door swinging open and loud laughter.
Tumblr media
Kaeeeeeennnnnn!
Kooriiii, you are the loser! nah nah naaaaahh!
Oh you two are also awake yet ?
As the twins catched their breath and saw Ren and Sequoia standing there they walked slowly towards them.
What are you two talking aboouutttt ?
Tumblr media
Ren was explaining to me a possible route for your mission.
Sequoia stepped closer to Ren and placed his hand on Ren's left side. This made Ren startle a little bit. While it was the touch of Sequoia he wasn't used to this kind of touches. It gave him a very nice feeling however. Like he was warming up. He felt also that his cheeks started to warm up... blushing! The twins noticed this and looked at each other with a surprised and excited expression.
Tumblr media
Sequoia motivated Ren to explain the rest of the journey to the twins, and their mission.
Yes Sequoiaaaaaa, all good and well but is this safe and can we trust this Cid ?
If Ren trusts him, the I do.
Tumblr media
We also will need to travel a little bit to New Gridania from here. Cid will await us there. Or rather you two, Koori and Kaen.
Wait!? You're not going with us ?
No.
We stay in Eorzea. I want to stay with Ren in this new land for a while.
OOOoooowwwww.
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing Sequoia, nothing. The twins answered in unison. When do we leave? It's a beautiful morning.
Hm, maybe we should enjoy the advantage of that and travel to the Castrum right away ?
I suggest that you, Ren, and the twins prepare to leave. I clean up the cabin here and make sure there are no visible traces of our presence here.
Mere moments later the group was ready to leave and set out to Castrum Oriens. The walk there was nice. They exchanged some stories about their adventures. But one thing that was very noticeable was the fact that Sequoia could not keep his eyes off Ren and he seemed to walk very close to Ren. This detail did not go unnoticed for the twins.
Tumblr media
Noooo ???? Haahahagha!
Yes Sequoia, this is something that really happened.
I want to see these fluffy Moogles for sure. They seem very funny.
We will see it all Sequoia. Followed by a giggle from both Vieras
Tumblr media
Pssst, Koori! whispered Kaen.
Kaen ?
Do you see what I see ?
Hmhmhm.
If those two are not madly in love with each other then no one is.
Heh, i wonder how long they will keep dancing around each other before they dare to admit that to one another.
Me too. They have been like that back in the Range too.
Tumblr media
The group entered Castrum Oriens, and with that they were about to leave The Fringed behind them.
We need a map first.
There is a big table with maps! That's for meeeee Koorriiii! Kaen bolted away from the group towards the map table.
Tumblr media
Kaen!
Koorrrrriiiiiiiii, everyone knows i'm the better navigator here.
EEEHHHH??? EVERYONE knows that you even can't read a map! Come give me that map!
Boys!
Koori, Kaen... calm down please. We don't need a map here. I know the way to Gridania.
Ren tried to explain to the twins that they would make use of Chocobo's to travel through the Black Shroud and reach the city of New Gridania. Soon the four Vieras left this area for good and traveled to New Gridania. Overal their journey was uneventfull as they used the main roads. Kaen and Koori had a few bickerish fights during their trip, as was to be expected from the twins. They also complained a lot about things they were not used to. Sequoia and Ren mostly ignored them and talked about home, adventure, Eorzea, every now and then a little innocent flirt. Occasionally the group stopped to rest or eat or take in the sights. One thing was sure: Ren was so happy and excited with the future prospect of travelling with Sequoia alone.
The four Vieras arrived at the city of New Gridania. After getting a little bit aquainted with the city and the area they made for The Roost where they enjoyed some refreshments and a hearthy dinner. Cid would soon arrive at the airshipbay.
Greetings Ren! shouted someone with a familiar voice,
Hah Cid! How are you doing these days ?
I'm well enough, can't complain. Ironworks keeps me busy, or improving the Enterprise. You know. So what is this cargo you mentioned?
The twins there.
Tumblr media
Twins?!
Hello! said Koori and Kaen in unison again.
You never mentioned I had to transport twins, Vieras ... when you said "precious cargo" i expected something more ... material?
Hahaha, well these two are VERY precious to me.
Alright... you seem serious about it. What's the destination?
Sequoia you want to do the honor ?
Tumblr media
So ehhh, mister Cid. These are Koori and Kaen. They are very close friends of me and Ren. I tasked them with visiting old friends of us and bringing them here to Eorzea.
Sounds easy enough.
Two destinations are sure: Thavnair and Hingashi. They will provide you with more details soon as you depart. There will be a third destination but I don't know where that is. It depends. I suspect Akane will know more.
I hope the laddies are not afraid of some manual labour ?
Eeeehhh ???
I will need help on the way there, those are not very close-by destinations. And we will need to make some stops for resources and food. But yes, i can take them there and i assume bring them back too ?
Yes please, in ONE piece hahaahah.
Koori an Kaen, for the first time in their life were silent and seemed to have a rather difficult moment.
S... Sequoia ?
R ... Ren ?
Can we get a hug ?
Tumblr media
Right, I linkpearl Biggs and Wedge to prepare the Enterprise for departure.
Ofcourse you can get hugs!
Ren ... i'm afraid.
Don't be Kaen. Don't be. I would trust no one else other the Cid with this task. He will get you there safe and you will be back in no time again. And when you do, we have a grand party to celebrate.
Hehehe, I trust you Ren.
Take care of Koori please, be kind to Cid and help when he asks it.
I hope you take care of Sequoia too ... When Kaen said this he couldn't help but give Ren a meaningful smirk and a wink.
What do you mean Kaen ? I always take care of my friends.
Friends ... yeah yeah ... Ren Ren Ren ... are you sure you are just friends ? Koori! come on we need to go!
Tumblr media
Sequoiaaa, i will ... *sobs* ... will ... miss you.
Oh Koori come on, its only a few weeks. You'll be back in no time.
Koorriiii!!! come onnnn!
Yesss!
Sequoia, can i just whisper something to you?
Hm ?
The Sun needs the Moon as much as the Moon needs the Sun. Both need each other to shine and have a purpose. I hope that in our absence you do the right thing.
Koori ? what do ...
Byeeeee, take care you two and we meet again soon!
As the twins shared a very meaningful hug with their dear friends Sequoia and Ren, they also tried to push in a sublte way, Ren and Sequoia a bit in a certain direction. The dance was about to end ? Ren and Sequoia waved the twins goodbye, bid them safe travels and returned to the waiting hall.
***
EPILOGUE
Tumblr media
What now Sequoia ?
Hm ?
Yes, what now, what will we do ? where will we go ?
Oh! Sequoia let out a giggle.
Ren, you saw Eorzea already. You also told me about your adventures, and how you became the Warrior of Light. It's so cool and fascinating! But -
Sequoiiaaaaaaa, pleaseee. Warrior of Light or not ... please ... i'm just Ren.
Sorry. I know you asked to not-
Its okay. Ren only could smile and think that Sequoia looked so damn attractive when he went all cute on him.
Say, Ren, in your travels, did you found this place where you had the feeling of being somewhere in absolute peace and tranquility, where it feels like you are in a paradise, where you feel like all your sorrows go away, where you feel its just you and nature ?
Ren felt like being engulfed by Ifrits infernal flames.
I ... I ...
You, you ?
Eheheeh! Yes, as a matter in fact i know such a place.
Where is it ?
We need to go to another city for that first.

Love me in the dark
(chapter 2)
DBF Simon Riley x OC

Warnings - trauma dumping, smoking, arguments, self hate, age gap ( 12 years), smut- voyeurism, self pleasure, pet names.
He’s still in my head, circling my thoughts every single second I breathe, those eyes haunt me in my sleep so full of pain. Dragging myself to deal with the day scheduled of course as if dear old Dad could cope without complete control, probably have a heart attack. Padding into the kitchen only for my breath to hitch. Mother of fuck. Simon’s standing, boiling the kettle in grey sweats. Just grey sweats. Sweet Jesus I’m salivating, my eyes are glued to his tattoos on his back the ink details that litter his back, song with areas of white skin. Between his shoulder blades is an interactive drawing of an angel with tattered wings that spread the blades of his shoulders. I’m physically choking on air while I stare, I can't stop.
And then it clicks, in a childish fit last night- at 2 in the fucking morning when his face was making me weak in the knees and electrocuting my skin- I decided to act like a spoiled child. Stomping into the kitchen, my glare zoning into the kitchen where he stood making tea only a few hours ago, I quickly ripped the sugar container from its place, dumping the contents in a spare bowl. My fingers search for the salt. His words about me being a daddies girl as if he knows our relationship, the fact ‘daddy’ left with no answers because it was easier than admitting his career destroyed our relationship and the phone doesnt go both ways when your fucking ten.
I rip off the salt lid and pour it into the original sugar jar and then pour the sugar into the salt container. Cleaning the mess in a haze of glee and popping it all back I practically hopped into my room. 
Shit do i tell him? Yes, that's the mature thing someone my age, with a big girl job, would do.
“Princess if you stare at my back any harder it's gonna leave a mark,” he teases, turning around as he stirs his tea smugly. The smirk on his face angers me to unrivalled levels, but also forces me to pull together from the nickname. Of course he fucking notices this but can’t seem to notice a car moving. Fuck it, he can drink the salty tea.
Simons pouring unknowingly salt into his tea as I turn back to my room and yell out.
“Enjoy your tea Simon!” I sprint the second I’m out of his view, locking my door instantly.
It doesn’t take long for me to hear my name being bellowed by Simon
“Maevis get your ass out here now!” He practically threatens standing in front of my door.
“Sorry Simy can't pop in the shower, need anything?” inquiring as innocently as I can. I'm dying inside knowing the hissy fit this man is about to pull.
I begin to undress for the shower when I hear him.
“Maevis.”  I see Simon as I peek out of the shower. “Simon.”I'm waiting to see what he will do.
“Now Maevis.” “No thank you I’d rather not,” I quip and slam the shower for him to hear and carry on. 
Fuck him.
Simon’s pov- 
She is nothing like her father, she's reckless and childish, changing the sugar for salt? Is she 10 years old for the love of fuck.
The buzz of voices in the garden as people socialise, moving in fluttery movements unsure of who to chat about their waiting for the crappy wine to be soaked up and the fuzz of being drunk fogs their fears of being judged. I remain in a corner, feeling the rose thorn prick me ever so gently. I observe the guests hop from one group to the next, wondering how I ended up here. I'm here because my ex-captain when I was a recruit helped me out, and now I'm here as his best man around people I don't know asking questions i dont want and having to see her. 
The air smells like the nearby vineyard filling my head with the sweetness, the bitterness from the salt is still on my tongue even with the whiskey. my eyes scan the groups of people and the moment my eyes land on her finally my mind is consumed by her once again. She is the most beautiful person I've ever seen. The green dress hugs her curves with a side slit showing the thigh tattoo that curls its way on her flesh, inked flowers. pretty. My eyes rise to dress, my god. My eyes nearly fall out when she turns around to talk to someone. In her hair her body again. I'm stuck and for the first time in  my life I'm flustered, until she smiles slightly and sticks her tounge out at me. All those thoughts of her die and leave me remembering how childish she is. 
Still watching her, she turns her body back to the stranger laughing and it warms a part of me I don’t want to think about, her chatter distracts me from her now pointing her finger at me and moving away pushing the stranger in my direction. For fuck sakes Maevis, wanna play? Let's play princess.
Maevis pov:
God he’s gorgeous, the white linen shirt he has on is open at the top and cuffed at his elbows showing off those tattoos but catching him staring at me is making me force my legs together from the warmth that is developing. ive pushed a very enthusiastic old lady towards him hoping to push his temper if it meant he’ll come find me and tell me off.
Walking away, weaving through the herds of people and reaching an outer corner to hide where the sun warms my skin and calms my mind. Until I hear my father, I love him but when I see him it's like a slap in the face. I want to scream at him and cry and ask the questions the child in me wants answers to but I can't so I turn and smile. 
“Darling, why are you here? Come, I have people for you to meet!” pulling me by my elbow to follow him to the gaggle of older men who make me feel sick with their stares. I'm used to it, it doesn't take a genius to work out why but god it still makes me feel ill. They start to speak to me asking all the questions that all have the same underlying meaning, which is that i've filled out in all the right places to be stared at like a prized doll in the shop window. Goosebumps begin to form along my arms as I try to control my tongue for my dad and not be snarky.
A warm hand slips around my waist and I jump whipping around to see Simon dead staring at the old men with a look that could kill a man.
“I’m sorry gents but I need to steal Maevis away, and I think your wives are wondering where you are.”
I sink into his touch on my hip, it's warm and soothing. His thumb makes circles, the creeping feeling between my legs starts again and I want to hide my blush but I'm frozen. He begins to pull me with him, staring at them and glancing at my father with what only could suggest annoyance and disappointment in the man. Whisking me away even when we are out their view, his hand still on my hip. His body bends his head to reach mine and moves his mouth to my ear whispering.
“Are you alright, love?” The kindness strikes me, so soothing yet shocking how the gruffness rasp of his voice holds the words and makes me melt.
“I’m fine, thank you Si “ I whisper back, catching his eyes as I turn. We are too close, so close I can see every etch in his skin and those pretty lips that I want to cover my skin with.
“Good. Now good luck,” he begins to smile as he twists my body back and pushes me back into the hoard of people.
Confusion only lasts a second when it clicks, I see about 5 ladies dressed like colourful birds smiling at me and calling me to go chat with me. Oh fuck, this is karma from before. Simon's warmth disappears from behind me and I feel my dark hair fall into my face. Positioning my hand to go tighten my ribbon I find it missing. It’s gone? I spin around checking the floor in despair. Did it fall out? But it's gone and I'm consumed by too much old lady perfume and loud chatter. 
“Maevis ? Gosh dear haven't you changed! Do you remember me dear, I'm your aunt?” one of them speaks holding me, she smells too strongly of perfume i cant breath, pulling me aware from finding the ribbon.
“Ah yes of course, how are you?” I respond too slowly because I  have zero clue who this lady is, i smile and hope it's believable and no one points it out.
The rest stare at me like a group of hawks and I don't know how to hold myself, these strangers who I'm related to and would persecute me if I mess up. 
“I'm fine sweety just at the point in my life where I move and pray I haven't pulled a muscle, it's such a shame we haven't seen you in such a long time, why is that ?” she inquires and the air in my lungs catches because the sentence in my head unravels  the second she ends her sentence.
“Oh um school and work became a priority and it was easier to stay with my mam” every word is a lie but no one is asking for the truth, they want to ask because i disappeared and i don't blame them, my heart hurted every day i couldn't see them but eventually i got used to it and time moves on enough that my brain couldn't remember their faces just the nostalgia.
“Ah such a shame but I understand darling it's okay just know that we’re here if you need us,” squeezing my arm just as much as my heart because I want to swallow up in my sadness, i feel like a traitor when I stand around this warmth. 
Simons pov:
If those fuckers look at her again I’m going to kill them, how could her father not see it? My grip on the ribbon in my hand tightens. No reasons come to my mind of why I took it from her hair other than a way to carry on our little war. 
Shoving it in my pocket panic sets in that my rage will break it also if I stare at it for too long my mind gets clouded by her and tightness in my trousers fills me with guilt. Her dad is quite literally the man I respect the most, he taught me everything I know. At the same time I see her I swear it's like she's the sun. It’s intoxicating to just be near her, the danger signs in my head go berserk like a reminder that I'm a war criminal. I've killed more people than I could count. I've got people killed, good people. I don't deserve that kind of happiness. Not in this lifetime. 
“Private riley!” my head whips around on instinct the station so far below me yet still my reaction is the same as the 17 year old kid who just joined the military. 
“Yes sir.”
“Ah shit its lieutenant now isn't it, come have a beer with me” her father calls me over to come sit with me and hands me a beer. fuck of all people to talk to me right now.
the cold bottle held in my hand feels like a fucking lifeline when he starts talking, blabbing drunkenly about how grateful his kid is back in his life, drilling into me that its his kid, she is nothing to me and gushing over her achievements at 25 fucking hell she is too young for me to want her like this im 37 christ i feel guilty. 
“It's a shame i couldn't see her with all her graduations but ah work came first, that's probably why i would never want her to end up with someone like you simon,” grabbing my shoulder kindly but my heart drops and I can't breathe. The words stick in my head painted in red, reminding me that I would only hurt her.
“Um yeah mate wouldn't want her with a bastard like me” I replied the words taste like bleach on my tongue.
“Exactly you get it kid, the shit we go through god it ruined my first marrage I was never home, not to fucking mention the PTSD from all that shit wouldnt want Maevis to be dragged down by all that shit people like us go through,” he carries on, every word is stabbing me and holds me accountable for even thinking of her as more than my ex captains kid. 
“Yeah definitely, will you excuse me sir? I need to check in on my task force," I mutter as I stand, I need to leave before he says any more shit.
“Yes go on son, thank you for listening”
“Of course sir,”  I mutter, quickly striding away from the conversation to the empty space from people by a pool.
I can breathe now that he isn't here, but the words are still dragging me into some pit. Gripping tightly the glass I drain all the alcohol the burn soothes me for a secon.The reflective lights of the pool let me reminisce about a calmer point in my life. And for a bit my solitude is comforting, I cannot hurt anyone if there is no one to hurt. Until I hear familiar footsteps moving towards me I instantly check, her ribbon is out of view and it's not, shit.
She needs to leave.
Maevis’ pov:
  Whatever my dad told Simon must have been bad from the way he so crutley left. Exiting the ladies I had searched for my ribbon where I was standing earlier, my hair is in my face and it's pissing me off, tickling my skin and making me sneeze when it brushes my nose. Walking directly into a view where I could see my dad and simon talk or more my dad yapping, and Simon gripping his glass. Just from the look he’s giving to my unbeknownst dad I think the glass was going to burst and his jaw locked, his eyes had diminished any light I had seen in them.
Staring at the two of them, I catch a glint of green in Simons front pocket, my fucking ribbon. that little shit. An deniable urge to beat him with my shoe till comes over me. Storming towards them in the most calm way a crazy lady could until my arm is caught by someone, urging me to come meet family members agin for the 50th fucking time. The old lady said how great it is that I’m finally around everyone, again. I look over my shoulder to check his glaring daggers, only to see Simon walking away from my father who is plastered in his chair.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Simon Riley give it back,:” rushing towards him, after searching the grounds to find him tucked away by an empty pool, standing alone just staring with an empty glare at nothing.
“I'm not in the mood.” he responds curtly, it's so cold, there is nothing in his voice not even wit. and all the warmth he has begun to make me feel starts to ebb away. What did my father say to him?
“Si? Are you being grumpy because of the little pranks today? “ laughing awkwardly because the coldness of him is making me panic. Did I go too far? my heart is my throat, the idea he may be so angry he won't speak to me again makes me panic and I don't know why but i step closer. His blonde hair in the sun glows saintly halo, I wish it didn't distract me.
“Why are you here? I don't even know you. We are strangers, you and I. Go talk with your family before you get seen with me,” again with the coldness that holds in my heart.
“Si….?” I question, confusion floods me. I step forward. 
“Stop. You don’t know me and I don't want to know you. You’re- you’re like some lost puppy leave me the fuck alone,” and like that those words are a spark to my anger and all the sadness and confusion is wrapped around my annoyance.
“You can say that shit but hand over my ribbon. I want it back,” my hands reach out. I step closer again, close enough I can smell his cologne and the hint of whiskey.
His hand quickly wraps around my wrist and twists me so I'm on the edge of the pool and away from his pocket. I’m too close to the edge, but the thumping in my ear as my blood rushes to my ears is because he is so close. 
“No,” he stares at me, he's so cold my heart feels like it has frostbite.
I see his eyes quickly dart to my lips, as I breathe in shallowly from my mouth. His eyes darken, it’s like I can read his mind but can he read mine. Images of me naked and him on top of me flash through my mind. Without thinking I go to kiss him I see his face turn into panic as I use all my weight to twist us back around. I try to shove him in. I’ll make him see what happens when he fucks with my feelings and steal my accessory to a kickass outfit fuck no you dont. only as his body moves to the water his hand is still on my wrist and forces me to topple into the water after him.
My head is spinning too much from the alcohol given to me all day to process the change from land to water. stress sets into my muscles and i try to swim up. 
A strong grip of rough hands does the job for me, pulling me through the water forcing my head up to the surface, gasping. I turn to Simon, his grip still on me.
“What the fuck Maevis.”
Turning to him I swim closer, my arm reaches for his shoulder to use, or so he thinks my mind reels still pissed at his change in mood and refusal to give me my stuff back. Trailing my arm down his torso now on show from the water making it see through, his abdomen twitches from the sudden touch. My eyes remain on his lips and watch as his chest rises and falls rapidly as my hand trails closer to his crotch. Leaning into his ear I hear his breathing stop completely as my hand lightly grazes his cock already growing hard. Turning so my lips are close to his ear I wait a second, my hand cupping him gently.
“Strangers huh Si?” I whisper, quickly moving my hand from him into the pocket where my ribbon is and grabbing it. Turning away, I swim to the exit. Leaving him barely breathing and dead staring at my back as I leave the pool and walk towards our room. 
Soaking wet I move through the villa to our room leaving a trail of water that I'm praying no old family member slips and cracks a hip on. 
I head straight for the shower, absence of Simon and the breeze causes me to shiver. All the fury is melting into something that warms my stomach and stirs something inside me. I need it out of my system, then I can go back to hating him.
Maevis’ pov:
I don’t wait to enter my part of the room to strip down. I’m unbearably cold and my nipples hurt from the friction of the wet dress. I hurry to the shower letting the water run till it’s scolding hot, hopefully hot enough to flush my feelings and thoughts. I scrub and scrub trying my hardest to forget him, forget how he grew harder as I straddled his hips. It felt amazing to feel his arms securely around me, that and the look on his face as he saw the opaque dress.
“Fucker.” I detest how much I need this relife. I lean my head back, closing my eyes as I imagine him kissing me, from my mouth to my tits. I slowly creep my hand down between my legs sighing in relief. I imagine him clearly on his knees slowly parting my legs and looking up at me through his eyelashes. Feeling his hands grip and travel up my thighs, and as he reaches my cunt he slowly circles my clit, teasingly. I begin to breathe heavier, the water blocking my nose causes me to open my mouth slightly and a moan escapes me. Dear god, I hope he isn’t back. I can feel my orgasm build up ever so slowly. I picture him, slipping his fingers between my pussy whispering, “keep your legs open for me princess. Like the good girl you are.” I push in my fingers, quickening the pace, the friction killing me. 
Simon’s pov:
In the bathroom I hear the shower running. That brat took her ribbon from me and thinks she can hide from me in the bathroom, pretending to shower? Right, not going to fool me. I storm over to the bathroom door cracking the door ajar pausing when I hear her moan. I shouldn’t. I really fucking shouldn’t, any gentleman wouldn’t peak but I’m anything but. I look in curiously and the sight before nearly makes me groan in desperation. There she is water running over her beautiful body, plastering her long hair to body. I follow the stream of water running from her head, down to her perfect tits, all the way to- 
Fuck me.
I feel the blood rush straight to my cock. Hardening instantly, at her fucking herself, moaning. her breathy gasps say something. “Simon.” Holy shit. I can’t think straight. I'm focused solely on how her hands work her to an orgasim. I envisage how magnificent she’d look as I look up at making her come with my mouth. 
“Yes, god fu-” she hitches shuddering under the steaming water. She pumps in and out a few more times and slumps down. 
It takes all the will power in me and years of training not to go in there and make her scream my name, not just say it. To not pick her up and rail her over the bathroom counter, gripping her hair so that she can see me pounding into her and see how her eyes tear in painful pleasure. 
I’m not helping my situation, I shake my head rubbing my eyes snapping me back. I head straight back out onto the balcony, I need a cig or twenty.
I knew she was going to be trouble.
