Hello!!!

First off, I absolutely ADORE your art! It is some of the finest work ive ever seen and is just a joy to see! Secondly, i am equally upset about the abrupt rqg feed ending and would like to ask, if you are still taking requests, for any Grizzop and/or Vesseek doodles? Or just anything involving our favourite goblins! Hope you have an amazing day💜💜

  RQG request #21! oh, friend, thanks so much for your words, you’re always so ready to support everyone 😭💙 and yes, same, it’s been months but i’m still salty. doing this one was funny because i did the sketch before you commissioned me, and the rendering after, so it was cool to draw them twice with different vibes!

  i did very much cheat and made this one self-indulgent because, at the time when i was going to sketch this one, i was working on the chapter of my fic where they’re introduced, so... here they are! the mean girl supreme of the art world and his endlessly patient star assistant!

  the rendering didn’t come out quite as i’d hoped, but the lineart is on point. like, that was Exactly how grizzop was supposed to look. well done, me. this is a cool one. thanks so much for your request!!! <33

 mechanical pencil on yellow paper and digital color.

 ID under the cut!

[ID: an illustration of grizzop and vesseek. it's drawn traditionally with a mechanical pencil, and rendered digitally with dark sepia tones. it's a low shot that shows them both looking down at the camera, with high windows to their back, leaving them mostly in shadow. grizzop is to the left, leaning against the side of a wooden table. vesseek is in front of him, to the right, sitting on a wooden crate. grizzop has his arms crossed and is looking down with a dismissive eyebrow raised. he's wearing a plain button up with rolled up sleeves, trousers, and an apron. there's a rag hanging from his belt. he's lean and wiry, with long, pointed ears from which three arrow piercings hand. he's bald and freckly, with narrowed eyes and a rounded nose. vesseek is dressed the same way as him, and they smile relaxedly at the viewer. their left leg is dangling from the crate, and their right knee is up, with the corresponding hand resting atop of it. the left hand is on the front edge of the crate, towards the camera. they're smaller and fatter than grizzop, but a little closer to the camera. they have shorter ears and short, messy hair. they're slightly fuzzy. the windows are bright behind them both. end ID]

It’s okay, I’m sure when you do paint him, it’ll be the right timing for you (I’m a believer of divine timing) - your art is incredible by the way! I’ve been wanting tattoos since I was a teenager, neck tattoos, rib cage, hip, sternum, spine, collarbone, inner lip. I haven’t quite decided if I should cover up my scars with them or if I’ll start to see my scars more positively without them in time (from surgery). I used to have a cat who was like a child to me, because we got her at a time when I wanted to have children but I was too young etc (she passed), I want her name on my wrist at some point too. What tattoos are you thinking of? I also want more piercings. I was always drawing/writing on my arms and hands in school 😂 and writing my exes name in cursive over and over, people thought I was obsessed 🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you so much! 

I was also always drawing on my arms in school. I want a tattoo that symbolises all of my dogs, a sunflower somewhere and a little ghost buddy with my best friend. I love small little black lineart tattoos and have some more in mind too, but these are the ones I’ve been thinking about forever

[franeridart]

Merry Christmas!! I hope you are happy, and have a good New Year! 😁

Thank you!!! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year too!!

Anon said:aaaaawwwnnn the good ol' platonic (or not, depending on the interpretation) bak*deku

I’m not anti anything anon, so you never gotta worry about that! I have ships I like and ships I don’t and ships I’m indifferent about, but I’m a firm believer in the ship and let ship principle~ sadly bkdk is strictly platonic for me (I see them too much as sibs for it to work in a romantic way, at this point), but I do adore their relationship and the way Horikoshi is writing it TT^TT it’s def one of my favorite Bakugou relationships, such a wonderfully complex story 💕

Anon said:Have you ever thought about drawing Bakushima as different ships? Like, from different shows. Put them in their outfits and such? I thought that wouls be pretty cool. Sorry if someone has already suggested this! I thought maybe Black Butler style ? Fruits basket, Death note, ect. ❤

I have in the past drawn them in AUs inspired by characters from other fandoms, if that’s what you’re asking! At the top of my head I can remember drawing them as Black⭐Star and Tsubaki from Soul Eater, Doumeki and Watanuki from xxxHolic and Jacuzzi and Nice from Baccano!, but I’m sure those are not the only ones... I’m never against that sort of AUs, if you have anything you’d like to see ask and I’ll see if I know the fandom you’re thinking about! :D

Anon said://squints// did your.... Did your lineart imPROVE??? holy maples Fran ur killing me with ur art I wanna survive my last 7 months of high school--

If you think so, then I’m seriously happy and glad to hear it! Thank you so much!! I feel like I’ve been getting sloppier actually, ngl, but I have been trying new tools for the line, so maybe that’s the difference you’re seeing!

Anon said:Gonna say anonymously caz' i'm too embarrassed to reveal myself for now, but I love your blog and art so damn much!!! Been following you for two years and you really inspired me to draw and really to stay in touch with bnha. Again, love you so much and hope you a merry Christmas!!!

Ahhhhh anon thank you so much!!! I’m happy I can make you keep up with bnha, ngl!! And I hope you’ve had a wonderful amazing christmas too!!!

Anon said:Sero with the long hair can murder me

He wouldn’t!

Anon said:what do you think of bakukamijirou 👀

I don’t ship it, sorry :( as far as shipping Bakugou goes, I only ship him around if Kirishima is involved - I do have a few Baku ships I like just for the aesthetics (like with Jirou, or Todoroki!) but I wouldn’t really call it “shipping”, I just like to see them next to each other cause their designs work well together haha

Anon said:Hello? Yes. Hi. Dave I love. Thank you.

I’m so happy to hear that!!! TT^TT thank you so much!!!

Anon said:Kamijirou cures my depression :3

WELL IF THAT ISN’T A MOOD!!

Anon said:Have you every considered a voltron au for your ocs? I know youve made a voltron au befores so i was wondering if you ever did it for anything else (i really love all your art have a lovely day

I’ve never, actually :thinking: the vld fandom is very scary to me so I try to keep away from it, ngl! I’ve also not watched past the first season of the cartoon itself so by now I don’t think I have the necessary information to make AUs based on that fandom, but the concept of my kids in space or piloting mechas is a wonderful one nonetheless haha

Anon said:Ah man I love dav so much. It makes me so happy when you post your sweet green haired boy. Day: brightened.

:sob: thank you SO MUCH!!!! TT^TT it makes me so happy to hear you like my boy!!

Anon said:I love and appreciate every variety of your ocs

THANK YOU!!!💕💕

Anon said:You: This is my boy. | Me: I love him so much and his hair and his shirt- 👌

Thank you so much!! His hair and clothes make less sense every time I draw him, but I have fun with it so I’m glad you like them anyway hahaha

Anon said:Hey! Who is he? He looks cool

Thank you so muuuccchhhh!!! His name is Dave!! He doesn’t really have much of a story, but he’s a uni student and likes music, philosophy and cats! He has a bunch of friends I draw him with now and again, and they mostly spend their time avoiding studying and being generally ridiculous :D

Anon said:Just wanted to let you know your art style is GORGEOUS. You're one of the few people on this site whose art always makes me excited to see it. I'm a huge Bakushima fan to begin with but your Bakugou is just...oof. lol I don't know if it's the hooded eyes or the undercut but you make him HAVE it!

That’s such high praise oh my god! TTOTT I’m glad you like how I draw my boy, he makes me so happy to doodle !!!!! 💞💞💞

Anon said:The two art post with "An unexpected sappy thought" and "Bunch of stuff from yesterday I finally managed to finish" were both flagged. i tried to send them to u, but couldn't. Just thought you should know if you haven't been notified yet! sorry that i cant be much help. (also the protest starts in like 10 min for me, so youre probably off already if youre doing it) sorry for bothering!

Anon said:hey your post (a colored fanart) of kirishima and bakugou cuddling w/ song lyrics as the caption got flagged, just thought i’d let you know if you didn’t see it :( stupid tumblr

These are pretty old asks at this point but I wanted to thank you for the heads up anyway! I have gone through my posts twice already and new flagged things always pop up, so the fact that you took the time to let me know was seriously huge help! Thank you so much!!

Anon said:hi i just saw your year summery-thingy and i just realized that i have followed you for more than a year now and i just want to say thank you for all the beutiful art i have seen !! you are truly one of my favorite artist i hope that you are well

Ah man thank you so much!!! I’m so so happy to hear you’ve been following me that long, it’s incredible to me!! I hope I’ll manage to get out of the slump I’ve fallen into soon enough orz meanwhile thank you for sticking around!! 💕

Anon said:Seeing your art summary makes my soul feel the urge to have your beautiful kiribaku art in a book. Have you ever thought about making a little zine with some of your illustrations? Or selling prints ;___; You're absolutely amazing!

Oh heck thank you so much for being interested in something like that! I’ve actually thought about something of the like, but if I ever did it would be a small zine with pieces made specifically for it! I have to research the whole thing a bit more, but in case I’ll reach a point where it’s a concrete possibility I’d first post something to check the actual interest in it between everyone! ;^;

Anon said:... Why BakuJiro tho?

Why not! They are good friends, have a nice dynamic, and their styles match together well! And Jirou’s so tiny next to him, I like the idea of Baku hugging her a whole lot as it might have become obvious by this point haha

Anon said:7w7r I see you there

I dunno what this is about but !!! neat!!

Anon said:Soooo,,, DabiHawks or Hawks single? I have curious for how would a drawing of them be made by you

I’ve said this a couple of times before, but I’m really only interested in dabihawks if Dabi is Touya at this point! I might change my mind if Hori develops their relationship more, but right now that’s how it is... and until I have more concrete proofs of Touya and Dabi being the same person I don’t wanna get too involved with the ship, in case I end up disappointed haha

Anon said:Fran, have you ever posted a selfie before? For some reason, I imagine you looking a little more like Kuroo from Haikyuu!! Haha.

I haven’t! I prefer being behind the camera instead of before it hahaha a couple years ago you would have been right! By now I have too much hair for it, tho lol also, I wear glasses and have a bunch of piercings and earrings that Kuroo doesn’t have (but should have, cause it’d be hot 👀👀👀)

#fran answers #i wanted to post something colored today but my health said no #*sad* #instead i finally got around to answering the asks #a lil bit of productivity is always better than none at all haha #anonymous

[image descriptions under the cut]

well, you heard it here folks! wheelchair wheels are expensive!

whaddup i’m arty and i desperately need new wheels! the ones i currently have are secondhand and extremely worn down, and while that was fine when i was rarely using my chair and only inside the house, i’m now permanently confined to my wheelchair, and it’s just not feasible to have bald tires anymore. i was going to use my tax refund to buy new ones, but after looking at how much it would cost to buy a pair (because the price i thought was for two was actually only for one wheel) i know i won’t be able to afford that, even with my refund.

SO. i decided to open up commissions.  

for $10, i’ll draw a bust of one person. for $12, i'll draw one person from the waist up. for $15, i'll draw one person full body.

each additional person is +$5. all art will come colored because frankly i prefer my art that way.

i will draw:

fictional characters, even from fandoms i don’t know (provided i can have a physical description if i don’t already know/can’t find what they look like) 

dnd characters

ocs

ship art

light gore/blood

i will not draw:

abusive ships/dynamics of ANY SORT

sexually explicit art

animals or robots (i just can’t do it)

if you’re unsure if i’ll draw it, just ask! since i’m unemployed i should be able to fill commissions within 1-2 days. i’ll keep an open line of communication with you and send you a screenshot of my progress once i’ve finished the lineart to make sure you’re happy with the pose upon your request.

(NOTE: there are some characters/ships i simply will not draw for my own comfort, and i will let you know that’s the case if/when it comes up.) 

if you don’t want to commission me but still want to help out, my paypal is paypal.me/arvandor or [email protected]

if you do want to commission me, email me at [email protected]

thank you!

[ID: five digital drawings. 

the first image is a long banner with the words “Arty needs a new set of wheels!”, a drawing of myself, a pale dark haired person with glasses, green eyes, and a nervous expression, saying “yikes!”, and a wheelchair wheel, all on a pale green background.

the second image is a  drawing from the waist up of a male drow with purple skin, white hair that’s longer on the top, and top surgery and battle scars. he has multiple ear piercings and a silver ear cap and is wearing a red mesh tank top. he’s looking up and to the left of the image and appears to have his hands on his hips. the background is light blue and the lineart is sketchy.

the third image is a bust drawing of the fullmetal alchemist character envy, a pale androgynous person with long dark green tendrils for hair, with their chin resting on their hand. they have violet eyes and multiple piercings, and are wearing a black headband with a red upside down triangular symbol on it, a black binder, and a long black fingerless glove. they are staring at the camera while licking their lips, and the background is a dark red and the lineart is sketchy.

the third image is a 3/4 image of the yu yu hakusho characters kuwabara kazuma and hiei. kuwabara is a light skinned man with an orange pompadour and grey eyes, with an upturned nose and emphasized cheekbones. he is wearing a white t shirt with rips on it and blue jeans, and is carrying hiei piggyback while looking back at him with a concerned expression on his face. hiei has a medium skin tone and is extremely short, with black hair that’s styled up in a style similar to a troll doll, with white outlining his bangs. he has his arms loosely around kuwabara’s neck and a dissatisfied expression on his face. two of his eyes are crimson while the eye on his forehead is purple. he’s wearing a black tank top and black martial arts pants with multiple white belts, has his ankles wrapped in off-white wrappings, and black shoes. the only parts of hiei that are visible are his arms, his face, his left leg, and his right knee and toes. both of the boys have dirt on them and look battle-weary. hiei has a speech bubble that says “if you drop me, i WILL bite you and give you rabies. the background directly behind them is a dark green, and the rest of the image is transparent and the lineart is sketchy.

the fifth image is a drawing from the thighs up of the yu yu hakusho character hiei. he has black hair that’s spiked up, with white outlining his bangs and a medium skin tone. his eyes are crimson, and he has a headband covering his forehead. he’s wearing a bright pink tank top that appears to have the sleeves and collar torn off, and says “we all have demons / and sometimes / THEY WIN”. he is also wearing flowy high waisted black pants with four thin white belts with bronze fastenings on it, and has his right arm covered in off-white bandages. he’s wearing a hiruseki stone necklace (a chain that has what appears to be a light blue pearl on it). he has one hand in his pocket and the other hand is slightly toward the onlooker. he has a dissatisfied expression on his face and is looking to the right of the image. the background is multicolored.

{ always accepting :D }

  Smell of polished wood. Little green eyes peeking through a crack in the door. Freckled ears eavesdrop in silence.

“ Mr. Wilson, you know full well that I can’t call child support without your permission.”

 Golden sunlight pierces through the office window, reflecting on her blonde head.  It grants her silky waves a golden sparkle as they gently caress her shoulders; a discreet halo. Vivid blue regards the man sternly,  as a small pour forms on her rosy lips. Soft wrinkles form on her satin white shirt. Her face is clean and her voice is honeyed, radiating an aura of hope. Her presence comes in stark contrast with the headmaster’s gloomy office ; in the child’s eyes she’s like an angel in the middle of a funeral.

“ Do you really want to start a fuss with circus people? ”

The headmaster’s voice is firm and rigid. Even his tone betrays how conservative his thought is. Thick-framed glasses sit on top of the eggplant he has for a nose. A little freckled nose scrunches up in distaste at the sound of his voice, hiding behind the door. 

“ If it is to help a child that’s clearly suffering,  then yes.”

 She sounds determined. The headmaster huffs loudly in response.

“ I understand that Valeska needs special attendance,  but our school doesn’t offer such services. Why don’t you go to the municipality and ask for a social worker? ”

“ Because I need your written permission for that. ”

“ I’m afraid I can’t do that, Sorkin. ” He shakes his head.

“ Why?  Because your name will be on the paper? ” The response comes sharp as a blade. Her voice is trembling as she starts to lose her temper.

“ Because,  as I said,  I’m not a social worker,  I’m a headmaster. And I’m not gonna step into other people’s field. Valeska is not a registered student. It’s not in my jurisdiction to interfere. We’re already being generous by letting him attend,  despite all the trouble he’s causing. You know it well yourself that your colleagues can’t wait to say goodbye. ”

 A pause that seems to last forever; tension reaches its climax as they stare into each other’s eyes, both unwilling to back off.

“ You’re in the wrong profession, Mr. Wilson. ”

  The teacher finally comments, her gentle voice laced in bitterness. His bushy brows furrow at her response. But Ms.  Sorkin has already pushed herself off the table with a small scoff,  as if she couldn’t care less what Wilson has to say.  She probably doesn’t, Jerome thinks.

“ And you’re not being realistic,  Ms. Sorkin. ”

 She heads for the door without another word. Small feet quickly retreat to the middle of the hall. Black heels tap behind them, echoing down the empty corridor. The woman starts to head in the opposite direction; but her blue eyes seem to have caught sight of the red head staring at her intensely.

“ Oh. ” She turns around slowly. Her features soften, as if she purposefully hides the tension from her previous conversation away from the eyes of the kid. “ Hi there,  Jerome. ” She still sounds a bit more stiff and awkward than usual. Her eye darts to the side. She’s nervous, Jerome concludes, because she realizes he might have overheard something. “ I- aren’t you supposed to be in class? ” The scold has a hint of playfulness, as it always does with Ms. Sorkin.

 The child approaches slowly, then extends both hands to display the paper he’s been carrying all the while. It’s an A4 drawing paper, ripped off from a coloring book. The picture depicts a clown holding a balloon, drawn in thick black lines to help kids stay within the lines. Though in Jerome’s case, they didn’t do the trick;  the clown has been painted a solid red, but he completely failed to stay within the lineart. He hands it over with a serious expression. Ms. Sorkin’s face lights up with a beautiful smile.

  “ Ah,  right I totally forgot about your project! I’m so sorry! ”  After a brief inspection, she offers the child a thumbs up. “ You did a great job on this one. Maybe next time you could try mixing some more colors, that might be fun. Don’t you think? ” Ms.  Sorkin’s voice is so full of life. She buzzes with energy.  So does Jerome, but hers seems to be more controlled. The vibe is not as rough and jagged as Jerome’s sudden  fluctuations,  it’s a smooth soundwave. When she speaks,  the birds’ chirping becomes more melodic. Yet, her smile falters when she notices how quiet her student is ; unusually quiet, in fact.

 “… Everything okay? ”

  He decides to swallow the words for once. It’s not easy to do. He wants to yell and tear the papers apart,  scratch the walls and throw eggs at Mr.  Wilson’s car.But at the same time part of him has already grown accustomed to this learned helplessness. His can’t help his face falling, though. After a while, Ms. Sorkin makes a weird expression - the child can’t comprehend if she’s pitying him or if she’s annoyed - and kneels before him. Her face is now on his level, where he can stare right into her sparkling blue eyes; she really is enchanting.

 Why can’t she be his mom instead ?

“ Don’t listen to him,  Jerome. ” Her warm hand rests on his tiny shoulder, expression tender and full of something the boy is unable to understand; affection. “ You can do great things. ” She gives him a light pat and tucks a few strawberry strands behind his ear. Freckled cheeks are tinted a light pink. Ms. Sorkin’s smile grows tender. When she speaks again, her voice is smooth and exerts a nurturing warmth. It almost unsettles him. “ Hey,  don’t forget we have a rehearsal after class tomorrow! Have you memorized your lines?”

“ Yes Ms. Sorkin. ” The response sounds robotic. His discreet nod is very unlike the usual cheerfulness; Ms. Sorkin knows he’s a bomb when he wants to be. But, unlike the other teachers, she appreciates that.

“ Great!  I’ll see you then.” She offers a warm pat on the back and stands straight up again. The boy still looks down in the dumps, but perhaps not as upset as before. Ms. Sorkin doesn’t seem satisfied with that outcome though. She purses her lips and offers yet another kind smile, before pinching his cheek. “ Hey, come on. Give me a smile. ”

“  … ”

Merry Christmas, @compulsiveshipper!

Alec wasn't a big fan of cafes, especially since they'd get really busy when university would start, but there was that particular one just across the street from the main building, and it was perfection and more. Not only was it cozy, warm, looked friendly and relatively empty, but whenever he'd sit there, he could always set an alarm on his phone five minutes before a lecture starts and still be there on time since the cafe and his university were so close to each other.

Since one of the professors had fallen sick that week, he had more free time than expected but still struggled to save any of it, overflown with assignments and inventing new ways to get enough money to stay alive.

He soon discovered another advantage of buying drinks in that specific cafe - it was cheap, and nobody bothered him upon noticing that he was knee-deep in textbooks.

So that day he walked in during a free period and, without paying much notice to the young man behind the counter, requested softly, "A small Irish coffee, please."

The barista cleared his throat and rested his hands on the table. His nails were painted, Alec took subconscious note on that, but focused on reading until the man spoke.

"Excuse my intrusiveness, but are you old enough for that, sir?" His voice was much like a purr of a cat - it could mean anything, unreadable, really.

"What-" Alec's head shot up and his clear eyes were met with dark eyes of the stranger. Probably the darkest ones he'd ever seen, the brunet thought. It seemed like the blackness would roll down his cheeks any second like ink, it looked like if you stared at them for too long, they'd take up your entire world and swallow you like a galaxy of dying stars releasing their last screams.

Or, OR those textbooks on how exactly to draw a person's butt were so up in Alec's throat that literally anything not related to painting lower body parts seemed awfully attractive to him.

"Err, yeah. I am." He replied finally, and the barista tilted his head as if waiting for something. The strange stones braided into his equally black hair tinkled as they brushed together.

"Very well. Do you have an ID card or anything that could confirm it?"

"Uh, no." Alec gulped and took a quick breath, cornered. "But I've been ordering that nearly every day, you can ask-"

"Ah, it's alright, I'll just have to trust you." The man raised his hands cheerfully, fingers splayed. He was wearing a ton of rings for somebody that looked almost Alec's age, he noticed. The barista smiled and squinted at him. "Besides, you do look like you need a double round of that whiskey - uni struggles?"

"I guess." Alec frowned after a pause. "Wait, was that an insult?"

"For once, nope, not really. After all, it takes one to know one." The dark-eyed stranger chuckled lightly and shook his head in disbelief, pouring steaming black coffee into the cup. "Man, I, for one, have never seen somebody look so bored while looking at pictures of, err, body parts before."

"M-hm." Tired eyes found their way to the graphs and lineart again.

"Wow, you really are exhausted." The barista clicked his tongue as he grabbed the whiskey. "Might as well just give you the whole bottle of the thing."

"Can you even do that?" Alec raised his eyebrows in legitimate curiosity.

"Oh, if I could, they'd be out of alcohol the very day they gave me this part-timer." The other man laughed whole-heartedly and tilted his head again. "I study medicinal chemistry, what about you?"

"Fine arts."

"Oh! I should've realized that nobody looks at pictures of butts in public unless it's their field of study." He sniffed, barely holding back a grin. "But don't let me get in your way, that definitely sounds difficult. You don't look like an art kid, though."

"Well, you don't look like..." Alec squinted at the barista's uniform, finding the nametag in a blink of an eye. "You don't look like a Magnus."

"Ouch." He gasped dramatically and clutched at his chest for a second before cracking a smile. "Well, what do I look like then?"

"I don't know." He shrugged.

"Come on, pretty boy." The barista put a tiny sugar cube into the drink and reached for a spoon. "You're artistic, make up a name for me, won't you?"

"For all that is good in this world, don't call me that." Alec looked away, avoiding those piercing black eyes.

"Alright then, I'll attempt to guess yours." Magnus put the cup of coffee on the table and pushed it in his direction. "Here's your coffee, and... Thomas?"

"No."

"James?"

"Not even close."

"At least tell me the first letter!" Magnus complained.

"Nah." Alec attempted to take a sip of the coffee, but almost burnt his tongue.

"Please?" The other man sat down on the stool behind the counter, seeing there were no more customers to attend to, and propped up his chin with his elbow on the table.

"It's an 'A'." Alec revealed quietly.

"Hmm... Austin?" He guessed again.

"Alex?"

"Close, but nope."

"Al--" Magnus started, but the alarm went off in Alec's pocket. He took out his phone, eyes fixed on the warning that only five minutes were left until his next lecture starts, and the professor was not the warmest person in the world.

"Aaaand that was the bell for me." He sighed and closed his textbook. "I'm going to go now if I want to make it back on time."

"Don't forget your coffee, Angel." Magnus smiled and tapped the lid of the cup with one of his painted nails, taking the last guess at the same time.

"Nu-uh." Alec took the coffee and shook his head, finally gracing the man behind the counter with a smile.

"Well, perhaps next time I'll get it." He sighed in disappointment and crossed his arms.

"Will there be one?" Right before opening the door, Alec raised his eyebrows.

"You did say you order here almost every day, didn't you?" Magnus smiled and stood up, turning to the chalk menu on the wall and erasing a few coffee names with his hand, probably the ones they'd run out of ingredients for.

The smirk on his face indicated that whatever conversation they just had, he had won.

Alec held the cup close to his chest as he walked back, secretly thinking of it as a tiny heater and smiling thinly. Perhaps that was just a short conversation in a coffee shop, nothing to make of it, but he felt like he wasn't as tired anymore - and he hadn't even begun to drink.

Right before he entered the building, he remembered that if a customer gave no name in that shop, baristas usually wrote a cheeky nickname on the cup or doodled something silly on the lid. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to see what Magnus scribbled on for him, but curiosity took over and he glanced down, only to silently chuckle to himself.

Pretty boy, it said on the paper cup. The words were somewhere there in his head the entire day, making it unexplainably difficult to hold back a smile. Pretty boy.
