ignore this i just wanna ramble in the tags for a sec i’ll probably delete it in a bit 🤪
#did an escape room with the fam on my sister’s birthday two days ago and my brother made me feel stupid the entire time#wouldn’t listen to me wouldn’t share or let me help and then act like i wasn’t helping (??? let me then)#and because he’s Loud my whole family was following his lead and ignoring me#but in the end i was the reason we won bc i was the only one who immediately understood the word riddles AND the one who wrote down#all the numbers he said we wouldn’t need. i was the only one who could connect the past information with the current problem#the only one who listened fully to the cd and decided to write down the locations without it being relevant yet#the only one who thought the tiny details might be relevant and the only one who automatically fixed his mistakes bc i noticed a pattern#and in the end still got no credit for anything (except from my mom) even tho if they had listened to me from the beginning they would’ve#been less stressed and finished sooner#then at the restaurant he didn’t listen to me again and we ordered too much even tho i told him we wouldn’t need it#THEN after dinner my grandma started texting me all frustrated telling me i need to keep my aunt updated on what’s happening thru the day#so she doesn’t feel left out. bc she’s having a rough time lately. bc it’s my job to make everyone feel better#FIRST of all this woman ignored me for years when her ex husband decided i wasn’t worth it#and now suddenly it’s my job to keep u informed on my every move so u don’t feel left out?? text me urself. ask what i’m doing.#ask HOW i’m doing??? do u even care beyond a ‘what colour is your sturdiness today namaste’#every time my aunt complains about the tiniest thing and starts crying about it it my grandma blames everyone else#no one even knows or cares if i’m having a rough time#she came to ‘help’ when my mom was sick and i did everything for her instead. and then she threw a fit when i wouldn’t eat her salad#when i was too exhausted from staying up all night with my mother to go on a run with her the next day#my mom finally got mad at her for implying i’m lazy all the time and told her i’m ‘neurodiverse’ and do things my own way and she didn’t#even know what that meant so my mom was like ‘on the spectrum ‘ and my aunt just got mad that she had never told her#would it have made a difference at all? would u have expected different from me?#meanwhile i’ve done so much for my cousin… including taking care of luca the entire time she stayed with us. i had him all the time#i didn’t mind. i love that kid more than anything. but everyone expects everything from me like it’s just a given#i talked her through every problem every breakdown walked on eggshells to keep her happy and then what does she do when she leaves?#ignores me. doesn’t come back when she said she would. complains that i don’t include her in things#bc sometimes i have quiet conversations with my sister so i don’t bother everyone#and then gg wants to know why i won’t come see her? why i won’t drop everything to fly there? my aunt wants to know why i don’t call?#because despite loving me u have made me feel inadequate my whole life. some of u more than others#and i’m tired. and it’s time for me to Be me For me without justifying it to everyone else.

hdl separated at birth au hdl separated at birth au hdl separated at bir-
i can always count on you to ask abt the separated at birth au. ok this is long af so im gonna post most of it under a read more
basically: when della steals the rocket and disappears, the eggs disappear too. donald and scrooge still get into their huge fight and stop speaking to each other, but without the boys to ground him, donalds a wreck, assuming his sister and nephews are all dead. well, not quite
about 6 years after della disappears, donald gets mugged by some beagle boys who realize that hes scrooge mcducks nephew and decide to try and ransom him. they take him back to the junkyard where he meets a little duck kid. turns out the beagles found him as an egg and took him in (why? idk! because i need them to!) and hes lived with them ever since. donald can see that the kids in bad shape--all the beagles are older and bigger and even the ones that are nicer to him are still. pretty mean. the kid doesnt even have a name, they all just call him “duck”. donald feels bad for him and says if he helps him escape he’ll take him in, and the kid hesitates but agrees. the two escape, and if scrooge ever shows up to rescue donald, hes long gone by the time he arrives.
the boy needs a name, and he likes donalds suggestion, huey. to avoid any retaliation from the beagle boys, they decide to take the houseboat out of duckburg for a while, sailing it along the coast from town to town for about a year. huey is kinda nervous and tends to lash out, but he opens up to donald over time and once he does sorta latches on. when hes around seven, they settle in cape suzette for a while. donald formally adopts him, and theyre doing pretty well for themselves, even if huey is still anxious a bit and doesnt get along well with others. hes pretty grown-up for his age, as a result of being mistreated for so long and now being an only child with a pretty open adult (donald answers a lot of hueys question. he never goes into detail about what happened with scrooge and della but he does allude to it).
when huey is nearly 8, he and donald get into a scuffle with sky pirates (entirely by accident, but you know how it is). don karnage and his crew had just returned to cape suzette, and donald and huey are kinda dragged into an adventure dealing with them. as part of that, they meet the youngest member of the skypirate crew, dancin’ dewey, whos lived with the pirates as long as he can remember, and of course he and huey notice that they look exactly the same. dewey helps them avoid don karnage and crew as they plan to get to the houseboat and get out of cape suzette. along the way, they run into a few members of the crew, who encourage dewey to go with them--don karnage really doesnt like dewey, and definitely wont like him any more when he finds out dewey helped donald and huey escape. dewey loves a lot of members of the crew, who were like family to him, but he knows its best to leave, plus now hes got a mystery to solve, ie what the deal is with he and huey. so the three leave on the houseboat, and celebrate huey and deweys 8th birthday back in duckburg.
donald adopts dewey, too, and the three of them get along pretty well. dewey schemes more than huey ever did, and huey gets dragged in because theyre all “pretty dumb” and he wants to make them work. donald enrolls them both in the junior woodchucks to help them make friends, and while dewey quits bc its boring (donald doesnt mind, bc hes very social and makes a lotta friends at school anyway) huey loves it and comes out of his shell even more. he still prefers hanging out with adults (and dewey) to kids his age, but hes getting better at socializing.
2 years after meeting dewey, theyre 10, and the pilot happens. donald leaves them home alone during his job interview (theyre more self-sufficient in this au, and donalds better at listening to them when they say they can handle something), but when he gets hired he gets them a babysitter, since he’ll be gone for a few days. turns out, that doesnt matter, because they stowaway on glomgolds ship bc his job sounds cool. donald decides he has to hide them or risk getting fired, and he shoves them into a cabin only to find yet another, identical duck their age. surprise!
basically, this kid spent most of his life in the duckburg foster program, since he was found just on the street, but glomgold took him in as his nephew in hopes of recreating scrooges formula. “flinty jr”, as glomgold calls him, (or louie, which is what he went by until glomgold took him in a year ago) is... pretty salty, and doesnt really care that he looks the same as these two other kids. hes really jaded from growing up on his own and now living with glomgold, whos always dragging him places only to ignore him or yell at him when things go wrong. donald, being donald, tries to sell him on the whole adoption thing, but hes really not interested. in any case, most of the pilot plays out the same--instead of donald trying to protect scrooge and fam, hes trying to hide the kids and keep them out of trouble, but they all come together in the treasure room with scrooge, launchpad, and webby. glomgold reveals his nefarious scheme, they all make it out, great. the houseboats fine, donald and scrooge dont really make up (they actually fight a little bit more), and the boys (louie included, hes been won over) arent super interested in moving in with him, so they just. dont. the new family of four goes back to the houseboat and settles in.
thats the basics, really. donald and scrooge start to fix their relationship bc HDL stay in touch with webby and hang out all the time. this timeline pushes back the adventures/magicas schemes until the boys are 12, at which point they and donald actually have moved in with scrooge. i havent decided yet how they finally find out that theyre related to donald and scrooge, but i want it to happen around shadow war? idk. the other thing to note is that the triplets are all a bit different, personality-wise, as a result of growing up in different environments, and their relationship w donald is pretty different too, but beyond that it all sorta falls into place eventually??
if you want to hear any more, send me an ask! this is probably my most fleshed-out au so i have a lot of thoughts about it!

Light Down Low // Jay Park Series
Tumblr media
Happy birthday to this hardworking inspiration.We know you don’t know what a break is but I hope you had an incredimazable day and that you enjoyed it to the fullest.
14. Wine Slow.
“Family Vacation?”  
“Yeah,he’s off school for two weeks and it’s Hawaii. You can bring Ronnie and his fam along too.Its been awhile since I’ve seen him.”
“Are you forgetting that you start tour soon? You don’t have time. I don’t have time.We have to get these tracks finished and your girl gon throw a tantrum if she knows what you’re up too.”
“She’s gonna be in California for Coachella along with some other things and I know that your boyfriend is gonna be away for games so really it’s a win win situation.” He states. “Please Leya,I know we have a lot of work to do and I promise not to play around if you agree."
It's not that bad of an idea,the shows were days apart and then the other week Kai was heading to Cali with Ronnie and Jas while we worked.What's the worst that can happen?
"Fine,because we both know you won't leave me alone until I agree to this.I'm working choreography with Hyolyn today so you're working out the technicalities of this family vacation as you call it as well as picking Kai up from school and taking him to your parents before bringing your ass back here to record the vocals." Jay salutes at me before I pick up my bag and leave his office,heading down to the dancehall to meet up with Hyolyn.
---
What's the worst that can go wrong?
"You planned this didn't you?" I point to Jay accusingly.
"How is it my fault that they don't have enough rooms? I'm not telepathic, I can't read minds." Somewhere in the corner Ronnie snickers and I turn my glare towards him.
"What's so funny Ron?"
"Oh c'mon Leya.You're behaving like you both have never shared a room before."He says slinging an arm over my shoulder,pulling me close to him."Let's not give the people a hard time,with all of the crew he has working,it's understandable that they're overbooked." He says innocently before leaning into me and whispering in my ear. "Everything's fine that is…until you jump him."
"Ronnie!" Jas smacks him in the chest before I could."Leave ya sister alone boy,I'm sure she can control those hormones." She teases and I remove myself from Ronnie's arms,sticking both middle fingers up at them.
"I swear you both are annoying as fuck."
"but you love us," they say simultaneously.The show was in five hours and I am so not in the mood to deal with these two.Given the fact that Gregory behaved like a bitch about the entire situation and we weren't on speaking terms,Jay's girl apparently gave him an earful as well before she left,so all in all we were both a bit on the grumpy side.
"We gotta go get ready for the show,take care of my baby." I say to them both,leaving Kai with a kiss on his forehead before heading over to Jay who was waiting on me.
"If you really don't wanna room with me,I'll just crash with one of the guys or something.I think Shawn and Austin got space."
"Look,about that…I'm sorry.I didn't mean for it to come out that way.I don't have a problem rooming with you.I'm just grumpy because I fought with Gregory before we left and I'm hungry."
"So we good?" He smiles at me.
"Yeah we good,just as long you get me food." I smile back at him.
---
"Sooo how are we doing this?" Jay and I both ask each other as we stared at the bed.It's almost 2am and we're trying to figure out who's sleeping where.
"you've got shows and interviews,so you need your sleep and the couch isn't gonna give you that so I'll crash there seeing as Youjin gets in tomorrow and I don't gotta dance anymore."
“Leya you know you don’t have to sleep on the couch,”
“I’ve slept on a couch before Jay.It’s fine.” I cut him off.
“Would you stop cutting me off? Wait when did you sleep on a couch and we can share the bed.It’s big enough and I promise I won’t touch you.Trust me.”
“After we broke up and I went back to L.A and trust me it’s not you that I don’t trust,” I mumble the last part to myself.If he heard me then he acted like he didn’t because he’s shifting pillows and making a wall down the middle of the bed.
“See problem solved,now get in and get some sleep.We got a long day ahead.” Jay says before he gets in on his side.Arms crossed behind his head, he looks at me expectedly. “Leya get in the damn bed before I put you in it.”
“Fine,fine.”  
— Day 3  
Today has been quite eventful.Jay rented a yacht and we spent most of the day at sea.Kai had a blast and to be honest that’s all that really matters.Gregory still wasn’t speaking to me and neither was Jay’s girl speaking to him but we decided not to let that dampen the mood.
Kai and Mimi knocked out right after dinner with Jas and Ron opting to stay in while Jay and I got some work done.
“Bum,c’mon.” I whine.We are currently sitting in the now empty rehearsal space trying to get another track down and he won’t stop goofing off.
“We been at this for hours Leya,we both know that we aren’t getting anymore done tonight.Pack up and come dance with me.” He says.He had a point,given the amount of time I’ve been working with Jay I knew we weren’t getting anything done if he wasn’t feeling it and right now all he wanted to do was dance.
“No thank you,” I reply while packing my equipment away.
“You’re behaving like we haven’t danced together before.”
Again he has a point but I know Jay and I know myself.Dancing is our thing.
“The last time I danced with you we ended up with Kai.”
“That was years ago though,aren’t we friends Leya?”  
“Yeah,but…”
“No buts.It’s just two friends having fun.” He says before he’s pulling me by my hands to stand in front of the mirrors.Once the beat starts and I recognize the song I immediately try to back out but he isn’t having any off that.Jay’s arms wrap around my waist holding me in place.His eyes lock on mine in the mirror and he leans in close to my ear. “I hope you remember the moves.”  
youtube
Sweaty,pushed up against the mirror with Jay behind me.Fingers interlocked with mine,head tucked into my neck as the song started again.
“Leya,” he mumbles and I can feel his breath tickle my skin.
“Hmmm,” I hum back to afraid to use my words.
“Tell me to stop,”
“We..we should probably…stooooppp,” the last part comes out as a moan as Jay presses his lips to my neck.His lips trail up my neck and across my jaw before he’s spinning me.Both hands above my head trapped in one of Jay’s while the other travels down to my waist and over the curve of my ass as he cups a feel of the flesh.
“We really should stop,” he whispers,lips hovering over mine.
“Yeah,we should..” I mumble before capturing his lips with mine.Call me naïve,call me stupid but I was through denying myself of Jay.No matter how much we tried to convince ourselves that we’re just friends,just co-parents to Kai,we know that there’s underlying tension.
Breaking your hands free from Jay’s hold, you kiss along his jawline and to his neck.Fingers running along his clothed chest as you slowly sink to your knees before him.His body shook in anticipation as you palmed him through his sweats,pushing his shirt up and licking a broad stripe up his stomach.
For some reason Mia didn’t like giving head so he never really pushed for it.She didn’t like a lot of shit so he settled for what he got and seeing you so eager and ready has him twitching in your grasp. You pull his length free from its confines,looking at him as it rests against your cheek.
You lick up and down the underside of his shaft before wrapping your lips around his tip and sucking hard.
“Fuckkk,baby,” Jay groans gripping a handful of your hair and tugging your head backwards.He leans down and presses a kiss to your lips before he directing your head back to his leaking tip. “Open up and stick your tongue out.”
You do as asked and Jay grips his cock and guides it into the awaiting wet,warmth that is your mouth.Hands behind your back,you keep your mouth open as he uses your mouth for his pleasure,just the way you know he likes it.Somewhere in the back of both y’all minds you both know that y’all shouldn’t be doing this but neither gave a single fuck. You can tell his orgasm is near as you feel him pulse when he buries his cock down your throat and you swallow around him.Jay’s quick to pull out and lower himself onto the floor,pulling you on to his lap.
Jay was thankful you wore a skirt because lord knows he didn’t have the patience to deal with pants today. You waste no time sliding your panty to the side and aligning his dick with your entrance before you’re sliding down on him until he bottoms out.
Hands gripping onto the flesh of your ass cheeks,you start a slow bounce,picking up the pace every time you rise until just the tip is in then sinking back down onto him.From this angle Jay had a perfect view of the way his dick slid in and out of your wet cunt as well as the way your face contorted in pleasure in the mirrors on the opposite side of the room.
Jay knows that your close,so is he but he needs you to get it first but with the way your walls are gripping and clenching around him,he feels like he’ll bust at any moment.Forehead resting against his,he slips a hand between both your bodies and goes straight for your clit.Your body arches into his as you come undone with a scream of his name.He helps you ride out your high before he’s getting to his feet and holding you up against the mirrors.
Legs wrapped tightly around his waist he fucks into you rapidly and sloppily until your nails are digging into the fabric of his shirt and his neck is hidden in your neck as he buries himself deep in you,coating your walls with long ropes of his his warm seed.
He pulls out once he catches his breath and puts your feet on the ground.No words are spoken as he fixes your panty back in place and you tuck him back into his boxers and pull his pants back up.
“Can we order room service when we get back?”  
Jay nods before kissing me.Both his hands grabbing onto my ass.A slight moan escapes my mouth before he’s tugging on my bottom lip,licking it in the process. He pulls away before I could deepen the kiss.
“Let’s go.” He says grabbing our bags and leading me out of the building.
I woke up the following morning to Jay’s head under the covers and between my legs. I know I should regret this but I can’t find in me to stop.My body’s so in tuned with Jay’s that it’s like we’re connecting for the first time all over again and if I’m being completely honest… I haven’t felt this good in years nor in the months that I’ve been with Gregory.
"Go shower,we have places to be.” I say to him once he comes up from under the covers.I honestly thought he’d change his mind but judging by the smirk on his face, I know exactly what idea came to mind as he lifted me and threw me over shoulder softly smacking my ass as he walked to the bathroom.
"Jay put me down."
"Nahh,we got places to be.Save water,shower together." He turns on the shower before putting me down on the counter and stepping in between my legs. He kisses my cheek down to my neck,my legs tightened around his waist pulling him closer when he bit down and sucked on a sweet spot.
My hands made work of his clothes the same way his did mine throwing them haphazardly on the bathroom floor.Lifting me up, he carries us both into the shower.Back up against the wall as we kissed under the water while rolling his hips against mine.My hand reaches up and let his hair out the tie as he teased me by putting just the tip in.
"Jaebum I swear now is not the time for teasi-" my back arched against the wall as I get cut off.Jay pushing his entire length into my awaiting heat in one quick stroke.Nails scratching at his back,my lips worked his neck leaving a trail of purple marks as I went.  
Jay  
I knew she wasn't a virgin but the way her walls wrapped around my dick gripping me tightly has me just about ready to bust.Had me wondering if homeboy even knew what he was doing with her body.
Her moans filled the bathroom along with the slapping sound of our skin as I deep stroked her pulling out till only the tip was left in then driving right back in.Her legs began to shake in my arms,I let her down turning her around to face the now fogged up shower door. I got in between her legs from behind bending her over both her hands on the glass door as I held onto her waist with one hand while the other fisted in her hair,pulling as I rocked in and out of her roughly.
"Fuck,daddy!! shitttt right there..." she moaned out the rest of her sentences coming out in Spanish.
Her walls clenched around my dick tightly as she screamed out."shit stop before you make me squirt.” As those words left her lips I couldn't help the smirk that graced my lips as I sped up knowing exactly what was about to happen. I could feel my balls tighten as I continued hitting it hard. I hit one particular spot and her entire body became undone as her legs shook uncontrollably as she squirted all over my dick,her pussy squeezing the fuck out of my dick,triggering my own release. I held onto her waist tightly releasing into her as we both rode out the high we were on.
We washed up well more like I washed us up because Leya kept dozing off in the shower."Come on ma keep them eyes open." I coaxed her as I slipped one of my shirts over her head onto her body before changing into some three quarter sweatpants.By the time I returned from the bathroom Leya was out like a light cuddling a pillow.Sliding in next to her and removing the pillow replacing it with my body.I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my social accounts before checking my dm’s on Instagram and stumbling upon something that I’d suspected for a while but had no proof.
We still had a couple of hours left before we had to head down for breakfast and so placing my phone on the bedside table, I cuddle into her body and close my eyes.
“Mia,” I call out as I enter my apartment.Her bags where by the door so I know she’s here and hopefully she won’t hate my ass for what I’m about to do.
“Mia..”
“I’m in here.” I follow her voice to my bedroom and what I see has everything I planned on from the drive from the airport stuck in my throat.This has got to be some sick form of karma.
“Surprise!” She says all excited as she gets off the bed and makes her way over to me.
“Is this for real? You not playing with me right?”  
“It is.I’m not.We’re gonna have a baby.” She smiles and presses a kiss to my lips.
Fuckkkk! How the hell was I supposed to handle this? I’m this close to getting Leya back and now this. I couldn’t leave Mia now,not like this. I already messed up when Leya was pregnant and I refuse to let another child of mine grow without me.
“Greg??” I call out once I step into the apartment.Most of the lights are off with the exception of the light in the hallway and that’s when I notice the flower petals lining the floor. I swear this motherfucker better not have some bitch in my apartment.Kai was with Ronnie until next week and right now I couldn’t be more happy,just in case I had to drag two hoes.
Upon entering my bedroom I’m frozen in my tracks at the image before me.Greg on his knees in the middle off a circle made out of candles and the words ‘marry me’ spelt out with flower petals.
Overwhelmed and shocked I bolt towards my bathroom door and lock it behind me once I enter.Pulling my phone out my bag, I quickly dial Jay’s number only to get his voicemail. I keep trying until it finally picks up.
“Jay-” I start but stop at the words that I hear next.
“So you’re definitely pregnant? I’m gonna be a dad?” I hear him ask and she says yes.
She’s pregnant? Does he know she’s been sleeping with Greg? Is he even going to believe me if I tell him? He’s already ignoring me so I guess he’s made his choice.Hanging up the phone, I open the door and slowly step out into the bedroom.Jay’s made his choice and now I have to make mine.
Greg looks up from his place on the edge of my bed with a smile on his face.
“I’m sorry.. I”
“Kai,you coming to dance with us today?” Chase asks as they eat lunch.
“I can’t,it’s ma’s rehearsal dinner tonight.”
“What for?”  
“She’s marrying Greg.” He replies with a roll of his eyes and Chase almost chokes on the water in his mouth as his eyes drift to Jay.
It’s been about six months since Jay has seen you. He wanted to talk to you but he had a feeling that you already knew what was up and that’s why you took your piled up vacation days. He however, was not expecting this. You were getting married to the man that is the father of Mia’s baby.Did you know they’d been sleeping with each other? Would you even believe him if he told you now? Why would you? You’d probably think he was just trying to ruin your relationship? Why didn’t he just break up with Mia that day and come back to you? Why didn’t he just answer his phone when you’d call? Maybe then he wouldn’t be sitting here feeling like shit and you both would be happy.
It was too late for all that now.He had to live with the fact that you’re getting married to the man that’s the father of his ‘girlfriend’s’ baby and that he was stuck with said girlfriend.
Both hearts knew where they wanted to be but the truth is Jay couldn’t find it in him to strip you of that happiness so in the end you both end up without each other.
The end.

I thank the universe, for letting you be mine
I’m sorry fam I got super sick yesterday i didn’t even logged in orz. I hope this little drabble will make up for it! All the love for Ai-chan
Ritsu wasn’t one to remember about dates, too lazy and uninterested in the world around him to even try. Unable to understand the heart of others as he was, oh so different from them, Ritsu felt as if his destined position was as a mere observer of the world. He never related to anyone and hardly interfered with anything. And so, time lethargically passed by, day after day, night after night, the sun and the moon taking turns over the sky.
However, from the moment in which the vampire had cut himself off from the rest of the world, to the present day something had changed.
There was now one person -and only one- that was able to make his heart beat like that of a human and that awakened his desire to understand. To relate. He had met her not so long ago in the tea club, as she was an idol from another unit, and in the concealed sadness of her eyes, he found a reason to try to understand. To wish to know and feel.
He wished to feel like a human does, and he learnt a lot just for her.
A birthday. He had never thought to much of such a date. A day like any other. Hardly caring about his own, he had no interest in remember that of anyone else.
Yet in seeing the hopeful eyes of her suddenly show sadness as his forgetful nature -for this even though she would usually forgive his lack of memory- he realized he had made a mistake. That there was a reason for this date to be different from any others.
‘Hah? Are you an idiot? of course a birthday is important. Its the celebration that someone was born you idiot’ Izumi’s words were rough but true, letting Ritsu with a bitter taste in the back of his throat. A taint of guilt at his own actions.
The next day, he followed her trails until he found her to be alone. Sneaking behind her back, he looped and arm around her waist and covered her eyes with his other hand.
“Guess who~” he whispered softly against her shoulder, lips soon finding the soft skin of her neck to leave tender kisses one after the other. After leaving a trail of sweet ministrations over her nape, he finally pulled away, hands guiding her into a tender twirl so they would be face to face.
“Ai-chan” he whispered, noticing the taint of hurt in the color of her eyes. He had made a mistake and it was time for him to correct it. Holding her hand out, he kneeled to the ground, and like the Knight of his Queen, he left one solemn kiss over he hand.
“Your knight has made a mistake. Because you’re always with me, and because your heart fits so well with mine, I felt destiny had brought us together. That no matter what happened, we’d always find each other. I can’t even imagine a life in which you aren’t by my side. In which you aren’t here. I never thought about it this way, but if your birthday is the celebration for the day in which you were born, then I also wish to celebrate it. To thank the universe for making you and bring you to my side. For letting me love you. It’s one day late, but if you allow me, I want to spend this day with you, thanking the world for bringing you to life, and you for giving that to me.”
Another soft kiss to her hand and he was now up to his feet, bringing her close to his arms to kiss her cheeks. Lips soon finding lips, he allowed himself to taste the soft flavor of her mouth in his own before parting, a soft smile in him.
“I made some desserts specially for your birthday” he commented, now leading her by the hand, in the middle of the darkness of the evening to a little table with two chairs, prettily decorated, surrounded by roses and illuminated with candles. On the table there were many different desserts, all made from her favorite flavors, and some tea ready to be served.
Once Aika had sat and started to eat, Ritsu sat as well, bringing from his pocket a little box in red and black.
“This is your present” he commented with a smile, opening it in front of her eyes to reveal a beautiful necklace, a silver chain with a red rose hanging from it. Reaching forward he surrounded her neck to put on the little piece on it “Next time, it’ll be on your actual birthday. And if you still love me as much as today, and if you have obtained the freedom you don’t have yet… let my present be a ring” as he spoke he reached for her left hand, kissing her ring finger “One I’ll put right here”
It wasn’t strange to see the youngest member of her unit solemn. It had become her natural state, something she didn’t bother fighting against. She had went along her days, keeping her voice locked away in the cage it was placed in, accepting her silence as her fate. But...there was someone who bothered to try. He was lethargic most days, but there were still days where he would try to coax her out of her defenses.
Most called him uncaring, but she knew better. He did care, in his own ways. He was forgetful some days, but she always forgave him. It was how he was, and she had accepted it, just as he accepted her without a voice. There wasn’t a problem with it, the way that they existed. However...there was one day in particular that stuck out to her.
Her birthday, a day she didn’t usually celebrate. It was difficult for people to forget what they didn’t know. And she was certain that the topic was never spoken of. Nonetheless...she couldn’t help but feel...sad. It was a different sadness than what she was used to. Abandonment was too strong of a word, but forgetfulness didn’t seem to fit either.
She had avoided contact with most people the following day, even considered skipping school to lock herself away in her room and feign illness...but she was too guilty to follow through with it. She hadn’t seen Ritsu at all that day, assuming that he was sleeping somewhere as he was usually.
But he had found her later that day, and while she didn’t want to avoid him...she still felt pain in her chest. She was stiffer now, much more doll like than she had been since she met him. She was reverting to her old ways, the ways of being just a puppet for her sister’s bidding. But he always...surprised her in ways she never expected.
His words...they were genuine. She knew that, but still she couldn’t break free of the chains that held her body so perfectly still. Relenting to his motions, his words struck something in her. He felt guilty...and his actions were speaking to her. He really was truly a blessing to her...and she thanked whatever deity was watching over her that he was brought into her life. But...this was...special.
He had taken the role of her knight, the knight that saved her. And his behavior now suggested that he really did take this seriously. He wanted to make amends for forgetting, and she thought it honorable of him, even though she thought he didn’t have to. And that made her...want to cry. She held it in, following after him to find...the most beautiful display she’d ever seen. He really did all this...just to make up for missing her birthday? It was...everything she wanted.
After he set her at the table, he presented her with a box as she munched on a few sweets he had made. They all tasted so good, and she loved them all very much. Confused and curious, it was opened for her, and she had to drop the sweet in her hand. It was gorgeous...something Aika wasn’t sure that she deserved. But he placed it around her neck anyway.
And then the world seemed to stop for several long moments. Time...space...the world seemed to still as the final words of his declaration hit her. A ring...that would be placed on her finger...a very special finger. Unable to stop herself, silent tears peppered her cheeks, trying to get them to stop. Still unable to speak freely, her hands moved...shakily but they moved once he had released her hand from the delicate kiss.
“I forgive you. I never expected...anything. I don’t want to demand things of anyone. This is the most beautiful birthday I’ve ever had, and I want you to know how much it means to me. This necklace, your display...I love it so much. It’s difficult to remember something that you didn’t know, isnt it?” A pause in her motions, she used her hands to wipe away the tears still escaping her eyes. “I really am blessed by the world to have such a caring knight to stay with me. I love this, just like I love you. Nothing in the world would make me happier than to spend my life with you, and I would be honored if you’d have me.”
Still sniffling a small bit, she held his hand tightly, now that she had finished. She would remember this day for the rest of her life, this Aika was sure of.
