#i’ve gotten good at doing it Way Less hahaha

[writhe]

i feel like it’s kinda dumb but i’ve ALWAYS been weird about touch even when i want it…there’s always been some aspect of exchanging touch casually / familiarly that has never really “clicked” for me. like, i remember being young and seeing people/friends casually lean on or touch each other’s arms or pull each other close and it always felt like a language i couldn’t speak or learn. i think a lot of this had to do with being a closeted / kinda repressed kid / teen but it felt & sometimes feels frustrating. i felt very monstrous for a long time. i think there are years that have passed in my life where the time spent touching or being touched could be condensed into a handful of hours, if not less. much less the case now because i’ve got to a point where i’ll crawl around on franklin for fun & i get friends to roughhouse sometime. anyway, this problem exists to a much lesser extent today but i still notice & feel it but last night during a song a bar friend who i’ve known for, hell, five years peered over my shoulder and we leaned our heads against each other and sang and it, like, did something to me. also hugs are easy but i got kind of a long one from a new friend!

anyway, i am maybe not entirely made of spikes and fire

#exception to this was in middle school we’d punch each other playfully and it kinda became the only way i would do this and #i still do this #it catches people off guard sometimes and i’ve had people be like “ow? hello?’’ #i’ve gotten good at doing it Way Less hahaha #the first time i did it to someone outside of my middle school friend group someone got kinda upset with me i felt bad #exception in adult life is mosh pits lol #omg wait i remember a couple years ago when i was getting my first covid shot my housemate held my hand and it was such a massively #impactful way to be cared for bc i’d come to feel like my body was an uncrossable barrier (outside of like. sex really) #anyway #i am happy and excited this morning! it’s been a hard week i’m happy to feel this way today #and i’m thankful for yesterday and the way it played out

Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Husband — Dark 02

ㅤCW: Blood, blood sucking and mention of bats / sangre, succión de sangre y mención de murciélagos.

English ver.

Location: Romantic’s Room •  Night.

Romantic: Finally, some time alone after a long day...

It seems ridiculous, but I can’t remember the last time I was able to have my own time since I got home.

It seems that on that afternoon, everything in my life changed, and I can’t even say that it was for the better. It’s a really sad thing, but true.

( At the end of the day... All I ended up finding were Ayato-kun’s fangs. )

( And it wasn’t just once, not twice, but several times now. )

( Go to hell with his hunger, his shortcomings and his complaints. All I want is to return to that good bargain apartment I rented.)

( It was not an aesthetic place, much less welcoming, but I preferred to eat and finance my research during my stay here. )

( ...Although in the end, it would be exactly the same because of Reiji-san’s decision. )

...Ah. Well, let’s take this off...

—At least an hour later.—

Romantic: ( This is absurd... )

( Haa... I don’t understand. For some reason, I can’t sleep... I haven’t managed to rest even a little... )

( Insomnia? It rarely happens to me. Maybe I’m still a little upset after what happened... or maybe it was the dose I took. )

Oh... I must try to be calm. I can’t keep altering the prescription any longer.

...

Eh...?

Oh no... Stop it! W-what just happened?!

( S-something touched my stomach! I’m sure! )

What...?

...Kyaaaaa—!

❁ㅤAyato bursts into the room.

Ayato: Hey, hey! What’s going on?!

Romantic: Aah, Ayato-kun...!

❁ㅤ Romantic clings to Ayato, very tightly.

Ayato: ——!

...What the hell is wrong with you? Running up to hug me... like this. I can’t tell if you’re being quite coward or bold today.

You screamed like a little girl—

Romantic: S-stop joking! There’s something... black creature in my bed!

Ayato: Haah? Something black you say...?

❁ㅤ A bat flies from the bed covers.

Ayato: Why make the big fuss? It’s just a bat.

Romantic: A bat...?

( Of course, of course. How could I not have guessed from the house of some vampires... )

I-it’s not a good thing, it looks like a vampire bat... I’m pretty sure bats carry rabies.

Ayato: Rabies? What’s that?

Romantic: ...Forget it. If that bat touched me, I should go check it out to make sure it didn’t bite or scratch me.

Ayato: Hey, do you really think that bat could have touched you?

Romantic: ...I mean, yes? After all, it seems to have snuck into my bed without me noticing.

...But it’s already gone. There shouldn’t be any other problem, right?

Ayato: Hey! Where do you think you’re going?

Romantic: Oh?

Ayato: You can’t leave yet, I have to make sure that bat didn’t touch you.

Romantic: But... it’s okay, really. You should go rest, I can do it on my own.

Ayato: No way. Do you want me to leave you with this «little friend» alone? Hehe.

Romantic: No, don’t bring it closer!

Ayato: Then show it to me.

Romantic: Ah... No! Ayato-kun!

S-stop! Leave me alone...!

( This is extremely embarrassing! It’s terrible! )

Ayato: Uh-oh, it doesn’t look good.

Romantic: ...What do you mean? It’s bad...?

Ayato: Well, there’s scratch marks. Didn’t you know that those bats’ nails are poisonous?

Romantic: ...!

( No, it can’t be... Can it be? There’s really no way for me to know, I’m not from here. )

Ayato: Haa... I think that little guy was drawn in by your blood as well? It seems like he’s still after you. ♪

Romantic: No, no!

Ugh...!

Ayato: Oops!

Hahaha. It seems like you’re not aware yet, right? The type of situation you’ve gotten yourself into...

Romantic: Huh?

Ayato: Exposing your neck right in front of my eyes... You’re asking for it, aren’t you?

Romantic: What?! No!

Ayato: ...I will bite you just as you wish. Even if I’m not really hungry right now...!

Nn... Mmh...

Romantic: Ow... I-It hurts...!

Ayato: ...Heh. Your blood really whets my appetite.

I’ve only had one bite, but instead of filling me up, it’s only making me even more thirsty.

Romantic: Please... P-please don’t bite anymore...

Ayato: It’s easy for you to say. You’re the one who invited me, right? It’s not necessary to be so reserved.

Right. I’ll suck the bat’s poison as well for you, so take that face off.

Romantic: ...Ayato-kun, really, I—

Ayato: Let’s see...

Romantic: Oh!

Ayato: Around here...?

Nn...

Romantic: Hyaa! D-don’t bite there... Sucking out... the bat’s poison... is too dangerous.

Ayato: Haa?

Romantic: If you do, you’ll drink some of the poison as well...!

Ayato: ...Haha. Are you really worrying about me in a situation like this?

Romantic: It’s not about you, silly! I’m just saying...

Ayato: Yeah, sure.

Don’t worry, Chibimushi. I’m not as weak enough to be affected by some poison.

Romantic: Yes?

Ayato: Just trust me, okay? Nn...

Romantic: Uuh...

( ...Ah! Ayato-kun is touching almost my entire body, I feel like it’s almost on purpose... )

( But the place where the bat touched me... )

( It’s not one of them. It was somewhere else. )

( This is quite suspicious... It embarrasses me. )

Wait...

Could it be that...? No!

Ayato: Haha. What’s happening? Have you finally realized?

Romantic: ——!

As I thought...! That bat didn’t actually scratch me, did it?!

Ayato: That’s not all, those bats aren’t even poisonous.

That’s a pity, Chibimushi. I thought you were the smartest in the class, didn’t you?

Romantic: You—! W-wait a minute...!

Get away, don’t go any further! This is...!

Ayato: Yeah, yeah, this is completely shameful and indecent, I know.

Romantic: ...

Ayato: I’ll listen to your complaints later.

Romantic: A-ayato-ku...

Ayato: For now, let me enjoy the feeling of this soft flesh and…

...Maybe even more than that.

Romantic: Ah...!

( I won’t be able to take it... I-I can’t do it. )

Ayato: Let me enjoy the taste of your blood...

Versión en Español.

Lugar: Habitación de Romantic •  Noche.

Romantic: Finalmente, algo de tiempo a solas después de un largo día...

Parece ridículo, pero ya no recuerdo la última vez que pude disponer de mi propio tiempo desde que llegué a la casa.

Pareciera que en aquella tarde, todo en mi vida cambió, y ni siquiera puedo decir que para algo bueno. Es algo triste, pero cierto.

( A fin de cuentas... Todo lo que terminé encontrando, fueron los colmillos de Ayato-kun. )

( Y no se trató de una, ni dos, si no varias veces. )

( Váyanse al diablo con su hambre, sus carencias y sus quejas. Yo lo único que quiero es regresar a esa buena ganga de departamento que rente. )

( No era un lugar estético ni mucho menos acogedor, pero preferí comer y financiar mi investigación durante mi estancia aquí. )

( ...Aunque al final, diera exactamente lo mismo por decisión de Reiji-san. )

...Ah. Bueno, a quitarnos esto.

—Al menos una hora después.—

Romantic: ( Esto es absurdo... )

( Haa... No lo entiendo. Por alguna razón, no puedo dormir... No he logrado descansar ni un poco... )

( ¿Insomnio? Raramente me pasa. Quizá sigo un tanto alterado después de lo que pasó... o tal vez, fue la dosis que tomé. )

Ay... Debo procurar estar tranquilo. No puedo seguir alterando la receta médica por más tiempo.

...

¿Eh...?

Ah, no... ¡Basta! ¡¿Q-qué acaba de pasar?!

( ¡A-algo me tocó el estómago! ¡Estoy seguro! )

¿Qué...?

...¡Kyaaaaa—!

❁ㅤAyato irrumpe en la habitación.

Ayato: ¿Qué rayos? ¡¿Ha pasado algo?!

Romantic: ¡Aah, Ayato-kun...!

❁ㅤRomantic se aferra a Ayato, muy fuerte.

Ayato: ¡Oh!

...¿Qué demonios te pasa? Que tú me abraces tan... así. No sabría decir si estás siendo cobarde o bastante atrevido.

Gritaste como una niñita—

Romantic: ¡D-déjate de bromas! ¡Hay algo... algo negro debajo de mi cama!

Ayato: ¿Haah? ¿Algo negro dices...?

Romantic: ¡Sí! ¡Ahí abajo! ¡Justo ahí!

❁ㅤUn murciélago vuela desde debajo de las sábanas.

Ayato: ¿Por qué armas tanto escándalo? Es sólo un murciélago.

Romantic: ¿M-murciélago...?

( Claro, por supuesto. Cómo no lo supuse de la casa de unos vampiros... )

No es algo bueno, parece un murciélago vampiro... Estoy casi seguro de que los murciélagos transmiten rabia.

Ayato: ¿Rabia? ¿Qué es eso?

Romantic: ...Olvídalo. Si ese murciélago me tocó, debería ir a checarlo para asegurarme de que no me haya mordido o arañado.

Ayato: Oye, ¿de verdad crees que te pudo haber tocado ese murciélago?

Romantic: ...Quiero decir, ¿sí? Después de todo, se metió adentro de la cama sin que me diera cuenta.

...Pero ya se ha ido. No debería haber algún otro problema, ¿verdad?

Ayato: ¡Oye! ¿Adónde crees que vas?

Romantic: ¿Ah?

Ayato: No puedes irte todavía, tengo que asegurarme de que ese murciélago no te toco.

Romantic: Pero... está bien, de verdad. Deberías ir a descansar, yo puedo hacerlo por mi cuenta.

Ayato: De ninguna manera. ¿Quieres que te deje con este «amiguito» a solas? Je, je.

Romantic: ¡No, no lo acerques!

Ayato: Entonces muéstramelo.

Romantic: Ah... ¡No! ¡Ayato-kun!

¡D-detente! ¡Déjame en paz...!

( ¡Esto es sumamente vergonzoso! ¡Es terrible! )

Ayato: Aah, no tiene buena pinta.

Romantic: ...¿A qué te refieres? ¿Es grave...?

Ayato: Pues, te arañó. ¿Sabías que las uñas de estos murciélagos tienen veneno?

Romantic: ¡...!

( No, no puede ser... ¿Puede ser? Realmente no hay forma de que lo sepa, no soy de aquí. )

Ayato: Haa... ¿Puede que este amiguito también haya sido atraído por el olor de tu sangre? Parece que todavía va tras de ella. ♪

Romantic: ¡No, no!

¡Ugh...!

Ayato: ¡Ups!

Ja, ja, ja. Parece que no eres consiente todavía, ¿verdad? El tipo de situación en la que te encuentras...

Romantic: ¿Eh?

Ayato: Exponer tu cuello justo enfrente de mis ojos... Estás tratando de tentarme, ¿verdad?

Romantic: ¡¿Qué?! ¡No!

Ayato: ...Te morderé tal como deseas. ¡Incluso si ahora no estoy tan hambriento...!

Nn... Mmh...

Romantic: Basta... ¡D-duele...!

Ayato: ...Je, je. Tu sangre realmente despierta mi apetito.

Con que te muerda una sola vez, más que sentirme saciado, aumenta mi sed.

Romantic: Por favor... P-por favor ya no muerdas...

Ayato: Es fácil para ti decirlo. Tú eres quien me ha tentado, ¿no? No es necesario ser tan reservado.

Ya sé. Te extraeré el veneno de ese murciélago, así que quita esa cara.

Romantic: ...Ayato-kun, de verdad, yo—

Ayato: Vamos a ver...

Romantic: ¡Ah!

Ayato: ¿Fue aquí?

Nn...

Romantic: ¡Hyaa! N-no muerdas ahí... Extraer el veneno es peligroso, Ayato-kun...

Ayato: ¿Haa?

Romantic: ¡Si lo haces, beberás parte del veneno también...!

Ayato: ...Ja, ja. ¿De verdad te estás preocupando por mí en una situación así?

Romantic: ¡No se trata de ti, tonto! Sólo decía...

Ayato: Sí, claro.

No te preocupes, Chibimushi. Mi cuerpo no es tan débil como para verse afectado por el veneno.

Romantic: ¿Sí?

Ayato: Sólo confía en mí, ¿si? Nn...

Romantic: Uuh...

( ...¡Ah! Ayato-kun me está tocando casi todo el cuerpo, siento que casi a propósito... )

( Pero el lugar donde el murciélago me tocó... )

( No es ninguno de ellos. Fue en algún otro lado. )

( Esto es bastante sospechoso... me avergüenza. )

Romantic: Espera...

¿Puede ser qué...? ¡No!

Ayato: Ja, ja. ¿Qué pasa? ¿por fin te has dado cuenta?

Romantic: ¡——!

¡Como pensaba…! Ese murciélago no me arañó en realidad, ¡¿verdad?!

Ayato: Eso no es todo, esos murciélagos ni siquiera son venenosos.

Qué pena, Chibimushi. Creí que eras el más inteligente de la clase, ¿o no?

Romantic: ¡Tú—! ¡E-espera un momento...!

¡Apártate, no sigas más! ¡Esto es...!

Ayato: Sí, sí, que esto es completamente vergonzoso e indecente, ya lo sé.

Romantic: ...

Ayato: Escucharé tus quejas más tarde.

Romantic: A-ayato-ku...

Ayato: Por ahora, déjame disfrutar la sensación de esta carne suave y...

...Quizá un poco más que eso.

Romantic: ¡Ah...!

( No podré aguantarlo... N-no puedo hacerlo. )

Ayato: Déjame disfrutar del sabor de tu sangre...

How have both of your careers been going?

Hunter: [very red with his fist covering his face] I-I have a successful career.

Willow: [laughs] You’ve been Mr. Del’s apprentice for at least three years now!

Hunter: [blushes] Y-yeah! And I’ve made hundreds of thousands of palismen for tons of witches.

Willow: [winks] Your very first palisman was a real special one.

Hunter: [Smiles as a tiny blue jay lands on his shoulder] I remember that! Could never forget it. Del told me I was ready to carve my own palisman. He told me I’ve done enough healing to try.

Willow: [she says in a sing-songy knowingly voice] To which you took three weeks hyping yourself up for and stressing about what to carve.

Hunter: [smiles and turns to Willow] Well, I just wanted to make sure I carved something right for me and a proper predecessor to Flapjack.

Willow: [smiles and leans in towards Hunter] Well, I remember coming in and staying up with you for many late nights where you ranted on and on about possible palismen.

Hunter: [leans in more with a little sparkle in his eye] Well, I remember someone saying she “doesn’t mind one bit” and she was “super excited” to help me make a new best friend.

Willow: [leans in more with a sparkle that mirrored Hunter] Well, I remember someone saying he “just wanted it to be perfect” and asked for my help because I kinda “act like a model for the perfect life long pal.”

Hunter: [eyes dropped down to Willow’s lips but in a quick second he jumped back and laughed while scratching the back of his neck] Hahaha, yeah…

Willow: [fell back in her own seat with a confused face and closed her eyes. After 10 seconds, Willow’s eyes opened and she sighed] I haven’t gotten a chance to really start my career. Perks of deciding to continue your education, right? [Willow elbowed a visibly red and frozen Hunter] But hey, at least I get to continue Flyer Derby and winning against other teams!

Hunter: [shakes head and clears throat, sitting back in his seat as well] Wouldn’t you want to continue Flyer Derby? Like professionally? I know you cheer for the Flying Fiends team. Couldn’t you see yourself getting on that team?

Willow: [shrugs shoulders] It really depends on what the future holds. I mean, I wouldn’t want to give up Flyer Derby. But I also don’t know if I could make it to the big leagues.

Hunter: What?! You absolutely could!! You’re WILLOW PARK!! You’re Captain of the Emerald Entrails, you’ve almost single-handedly won back to back championships, and you’ve been voted Most Valuable Player no less that five times!!

Willow: …six, but who’s counting?

Hunter: Exactly!! What makes you think you wouldn’t make it to the big leagues??

Willow: “Make it to” wasn’t exactly right. More like “survive as” a big leaguer. I have a ton of talent, that part was true! [Willow flexes her arms, Hunter’s entire face went red in that moment] But I also am not super great at balancing my social personal life with the socialite stuff.

Hunter: [stares at her confused]

Willow: What’s wrong?

Hunter: [motions to the computer] What in King’s good green Earth do you mean?!?!???! What is THIS then?!???!!! ARE WE NOT SHARING OUR SOCIAL PERSONAL LIVES WITH STRANGERS IN THE HUMAN REALM?!?????!!!

Willow: [chuckles while covering her mouth. She clears her throat to stop the laughter] Well, this is different. But maybe I could look at this as a way to prepare for the big leagues!!

Hunter: [pushes his shoulders back, crossing his arms, and smiles proudly]

Willow: …Although!~~ [she smirks at Hunter]

Hunter: [deflates] Although?

Willow: [sits up and nods her head] Although, I guess I should start getting used to having to travel a lot and not have enough time to continue my research on rehabilitating palistorm trees if I’m gonna make the Big Leagues!~~

Hunter: [stands up quickly and speaks even faster with each syllable] I mean on second thought! All the work you’ve been doing for your thesis on how to rehabilitate the palistorm forest and finding ways to germinate more palistorm seedlings that can survive the current climate!!

Willow: [looks directly into the computer and gives a knowing smile with a little wink] I knew you couldn’t get rid of me that easily! You’d miss me too much!

Hunter: [laughs] Yeah, I really would.

Willow: [hand on his shoulder] Well, luckily for you, I have at least a year and a semester left to think about that part of my life!

[parcequecestnotreprojeeeet]

Hello! It’s Winter! I really liked the sleepover prompt so I decided to write a story too. I hope everyone likes it.

The Sleepover

“Why do you look so worried? I won’t bite you,” Emmanuel laughed at his lame joke. He was hoping his good mood would be contagious; unfortunately, his girlfriend didn’t feel the same way. He had been looking forward to their first sleepover all week. After 5 long days, the weekend was finally here. However, Brigitte’s reaction was scaring him.

“This is the first time you’ll be seeing me without my hair styled,” Brigitte whispered, suddenly feeling self-conscious and wishing she never agreed to this sleepover. “I don’t look my best in the morning without makeup.”

He wrapped his arms around her waist, “I’ve seen you without makeup countless times in the swimming pool. You’re always beautiful! Besides, I don’t care how you look in the morning. Do you think I look desirable at 6 AM with this lion head of hair?”

She couldn’t help but giggle. His lion hair was one of her favourite things about Emmanuel. Brigitte placed a tender kiss on his lips. “I’m sure you look very sexy in the morning.”

“And I know you will too. Brigitte, I think you’re one of the most beautiful women in the world. I love you and I’ve been looking forward to sharing a bed all week. Ever since you invited me, it’s all I’ve been able to think about. Anyway, you better get used to it because I plan to sleep next to you for the rest of my life.” Emmanuel said with the utmost confidence.

Her fears were slowly fading away with his reassuring words. She told him to get comfortable in the bed while she got ready in the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror, she removed her makeup, tied her blonde hair in a loose ponytail and changed into one of his oversized t-shirts. Brigitte didn’t need his shirt tonight, but she had gotten used to wearing it. Here we go. She told herself before opening the bathroom door.

Emmanuel was sitting up in bed, anxiously waiting like a young child on their birthday. “Wow!! You look so pretty! You’re naturally beautiful, chérie.”

In less than one minute, this goddess would be his bed partner.

She pulled back the covers and joined him. Immediately, he cradled her in his arms and she felt his arousal against her back.

“Emmanuel, I thought we were just going to sleep!”

“We are, we are, but try explaining that to him.” He joked. “This will be very hard for me. In more ways than one. You smell so good too.”

She released herself from his arms. When she invited him, they had agreed to no sex. “Just try to go to sleep. I love you. Goodnight.”

“I love you too. Goodnight Brigitte.”

He stared at the ceiling until, eventually, sleep took over his body, not believing how lucky he was that this wonderful woman chose him.

Helloo Winter! ❤️

I just love how you all three wrote about the same subject giving us all 3 different stories and perspectives. You are all just truly amazing ❤️

Manu’s lion hair waking up, all messy, oh my heart 😩🫠

Aww so sweet of him trying to reassure her when he probably was feeling as nervous!

Hahaha Manu just wanted to sleep, but him definitely had other plans 😂 Oh the poor him hahaha I’m sure it was a long long night for him 🤭

Thank you so much, Winter! ❤️❤️❤️

Sacrifice◆Resurrection Sunday of the Undying Chapter One

Cast: Adonis, Souma, Koga

Author(s): Akira

Season: Spring

Proofread by: Gelyan

(I let myself indulge in him… I shamelessly came closer to him, as if nothing had occurred)

Chapter One Regeneration: Souma: Adonis-dono, I have finished my writings for my journal.

Adonis: Aah, just as I’d except of you, Kanzaki. You make fast work, yet your penmanship remains as brilliant as ever.

Souma: Hahaha! Our homeroom teacher, Sagami, does not seem to share the sentiment. “Your handwriting is way too good to read,” he rambles. Ever since I was but a young child, I have had a fondness for calligraphy, so it is safe to say I have a certain confidence for it.

Adonis: I see. I’m envious. I’m still no good at writing in Japanese.

At fan signings, I’m always the last man standing when it comes to giving autographs… It’s always a bother for everyone there.

Souma: Ah, likewise I have made a similar mistake. I always begin to carefully stroke each singular inkline for perfection, much to the dismay of Hasumi-dono and Kiryuu-dono.

They tell me to be mindful of “Tea Pea Oh…” 

However, what is this “Tea Pea Oh” they speak of?

I attempted to search the corners of the dictionary for it, but had no such luck. Adonis-dono, perchance, do you know what it means?

Adonis: It’s an acronym for words in English, you’ll better know them as the words “Time,” “Place,” and “Occasion.” 

Souma: Aah, I suppose I understand.

Why would someone go through the trouble of saying something shorthand, of an English word no less… I wish they had said so from the very beginning. Not to mention, just the first letters of English words, yes?

Adonis: Mhm. Shortening longer phrases to just their initials can save time, useful in situations where you’re in a hurry.

Your senpai in AKATSUKI must think you're talented enough to handle such first class work.

I can’t help but be jealous, everyone at UNDEAD treats me like I’m a child.

Especially Sakuma-senpai. Everytime I’m worried over something, he seems to coddle me. It seems like he’s going to say, “there, there” and start patting my head if I try to brush him aside.

Souma: Are you unhappy, Adonis-dono?

Adonis: It’s more like, I am grateful.. But I’ve gotten stronger.

I want to be seen as someone who can be dependable, someone who can support others and not be the party who has to be supported by everyone… No… I wish to be seen as their friend.

That’s why I’ve been increasing the weight loads of my workouts. I want to work my biceps to their ultimate form. Being reliable is to be strong, and to be strong is to have muscles.

Souma: Oooh… You have such, well developed biceps. But do not forget yourself, as muscle is just meat, as it is in the name. Excessive exercise will just wear you down overtime and limit the range of your movement.

And, if your muscles kept expanding and expanding… They would only get in the way when you dance. Do not force yourself in the name of “torainingu,” you can naturally acquire the strength you are in search of on your own.

Such is the workings of the human body. It is why I have a distaste for Western training methods, for they are too extreme in their ways.

We are still growing, training yourself too much may impact you later as well.

Adonis: Mhm… I do see your point. But I still believe it is necessary to train in preparation for future threats.

Souma: Mhm, that remains true. However, we are still fairly inexperienced, so please hear my plea, Adonis-dono.

Well, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Come, let us finish up our daily duties. You must stay vigilant in your work.

Adonis: Aah, yes, All we have left is to lock the doors and deliver the class journal to Sagami-senpai.

Souma: Fufu, because our names are close by on the attendance, I was blessed by the God’s to be able to work with Adonis-dono for daily duties.

We are quite compatible with one another, for we can compensate for what the other lacks. Our relationship is truly wonderful… Adonis-dono ♪

Adonis: Is that so? If Kanzaki thinks so, that makes me really happy…

(I’m glad. I can talk to Kanzaki normally…)

(I, or rather… UNDEAD, rebelled against the student council in the DDD, and the S1 lives)

(We were one of the factors for the reason of them losing their power)

(In the S1, we faced off face to face with AKATSUKI, and in the DDD it was fine… We fought against the lord that Kanzaki cherishes, the lord he has served for so long)

(We became his enemies. I wouldn’t blame him if he resented me, but… Kanzaki has always, from the day we first met to this very day, been a refreshing presence in my life)

(I let myself indulge in him… I shamelessly came closer to him, as if nothing had occurred)

(I hurt my friend, and I didn’t even apologise…)

(I’m… Weak)

Souma: …Hm? Something the matter, Adonis-dono? Is there something on my face?

Adonis: Er, no… Uhm… Kanzaki, can I talk to you about something?

Koga: Booyah! Move it, comin’ through. Yo, Adonis? Ya in here? Let’s go to lessons together!

Adonis: …Oogami. This isn’t a good time.

Souma: This… You must be Oogami-dono, yest? Open the door with more care, quietly. Be polite.

Koga: Eeeeh? Oh, yeaaah, where’s my manners, eh?

‘Scuse me for being a stray dog that ain’t potty trained, eh? Wait what are ya calling a dog? Imma damn wolf…!

Souma: No one is saying anything of the sorts… You are a brute, are you not? I suppose one’s conduct is a reflection of their family’s.

Koga: …Oh? Is the only things ya proud of are yer upbringing? I don’t like that shitty grin you’re wearing, ya spoiled brat!

Adonis: …o-Ogami. Why are you always looking for a fight? Get along.

Koga: Tch. Like I’ve got any reason to ! This dude’s our enemy. The moment he lets his guard down I’m going to rip that throat of his out with my own damn mouth!

Souma: …Do not be mistaken, I am not so out of practice that I would lose to a ruffian like you.

Bows Only: So, I Finally Did The Ascension Quest...

[IDs in alt text]

Hey, so, I wrote this post three weeks ago, saved it to my drafts, and then forgot to post it until now. Whoops...

So, uh. Here’s the post. That should’ve been posted three weeks ago. TTwTT

To start off, we’ve got some more Tartaglia pulls...

Another Stringless, huh? Technically even an R1 stringless is better than an R5 Raven Bow, so the logical thing to do here would be to build this as an upgrade for Fischl. But... hmmm... refinements for our current Stringless... mmmm...

I haven’t done it yet but it is certainly tempting. right now I’m just leaving the Stringless at lv. 1 and I’ll decide later whether to use it for refinement or not.

Still no sign of Childe, so we need to get some primos. And what better way than to do some story quests? It’s not like I’m still in the middle of the Inazuma Archon quest and have made barely any progress since 2.8. Hahaha. No way.

We still hadn’t gotten around to Xingqiu’s story quest, and all you do in the character trial bits is fight enemies, no element-based puzzles, so our lack of a hydro bow character was no issue.

And then, what do you know, we actually reached BP 50 in v. 3.2!

This is the first time I’ve reached BP level 50 on this account, so I’m very pleased.

And then, after days of grinding primos from daily commissions, events, and even briefly venturing back into the Spiral Abyss, the last day before Tartaglia’s banner ended:

He finally came home, at 75 pity!

We tried to get him up to speed, fighting the oceanid for his ascension and hunting down some Agents to level up Rust (a weapon which is not only good for him gameplay-wise but also really matches his design aesthetically, btw), but the most challenging thing was probably the starconch hunt... And to think Yelan uses starconches, too...

Then, server maintenance started, and the 3.3 update dropped. I made a couple of wishes in hopes of getting Faruzan, or at least perhaps some Gorou constellations, but...

Bruh...

I went to the crafting bench, because I had things to craft, and accidentally started a quest I meant to do on my main account first:

At first I was confused, but then I realized: of course, Genius Invocation TCG! That’s what this is about!

And this is just the plot of Yu-gi-oh isn’t it. Gosh

Anyway. I got both Gorou and Tartaglia A4, so it was finally time to do the ascension quest! Boy, I sure hope I don’t jump straight up to AR 50 and have to do another ascension quest!

Our boy Childe even lead the charge! And I only very briefly wished I had brought Amber instead after realizing that dendro and cryo can’t destroy the revival prism in a single charged shot like pyro can...

(except that I’m looking at the wiki right now and it says all three of those elements should take the same amount? maybe it has something to do with the level of the hypostasis then, or the individual characters applying more or less of their respective element in a charged shot than another... idk... look the point is every other time I’ve fought this thing both in ascension quest and open world Amber could take out a revival prism in a single shot and neither Diona nor Collei were able to do that this time around)

Regardless, I beat the thing easily enough and completed the domain.

And while it wasn’t quite enough to go straight to 50, it was near enough...

Oh, and DavidBowie is C6 now! How useful!

Either way, it’s time to start working on ascending and leveling up our character more (especially because people I match with in artifact domains keep thinking I’m trolling when I try to bring my lvl 60 Amber and kick me...)

Starting, of course, with the OG, our favorite Outrider Amber!

And now for the rest of them... not to mention everyone’s weapons and talents and artifacts and... ugh...

yet another mun meme || [ open ]

@orderbourne​ sent: 1, 2

1. how do you feel about reblog karma? 

I follow it, and to a degree I definitely expect it as well. In particular when blogs who aren’t writing with me are consistently pulling memes without sending things in (ESPECIALLY ooc ones) I feel more or less... idk, slighted? Used? It’s really not hard to send hc/mun asks. As with most of my rules I’m more lenient the more I’m writing/talking with someone. But when it comes to blogs who aren’t interacting/responding I’m inclined to softblock over it. Definitely so if it comes from someone who I’m not mutuals with.

Obviously less of a problem when the source is deleted when it comes to most asks like prompts or whatever. But. I dunno, I mean, even when it comes to reblogging from the source instead for ooc/mun memes it feels stupid not to send something in turn. 🤷‍♀️

2. is it hard for you to write with characters you don’t know/don’t know well?

I’ll put it this way- when I first made my Armstrong blog I got so fucked up with anxiety when writing responses I actually had to take a break. And I’m still nervous with him now mostly because he’s such a beloved character. But that aside, I do have a harder time with muses I don’t know well and try not to do much writing until I’ve gotten a good enough grasp on their source material/vibe. Crazy how so many people can make blogs for characters that aren’t even.... out yet???

Anyway.

I’ve gotten much better in recent months. I finally hit a point where I stopped caring about how ‘good’ it was. And that was mostly because I came across so many blogs that were just bad hahaha. It was like. there are people out there doing this to canons with their ‘divergence’ why am I fretting so much? Fuck it.

#orderbourne #inbox :: answered ooc #thanks bro #i care too much hahaha #when I really shouldnt #but it still keeps me from diving as deep into muses as I should #also the mizuki thing haunts me

🎶 Bloc Party - So Here We Are

g, in less than a month we’ve gotten so many versions of each other but here we are. that night I came over uninvited because I learned you’d say one thing then act on another. you’d say you’re tired, then ask me to come over. and you’d throw a fit when I wanted you to get rest. the stuff we put up with just to see each other is bewildering; somehow you’ve piqued my curiosity. you started tearing down my walls the moment we met and saw me for who I really was. I didn’t get why. you’re way out of my league—you’re the team captain and I’m the last to be picked haha. but you paid attention to me anyway.

I am so curious about you and like you so much, I don’t know what to do with myself. but I’ll start with telling you why since I might not get a chance to ever again. I really like kissing you. a lot. I’m anxious as hell but you know how to make me feel good. you can be grumpy, but it’s only because you hold yourself and others to a higher standard. I think it comes from a place of love, or the pursuit of it. when you smile so big that you get doublechin—I die a little inside. you play it cool but I’ve seen you lose your shit followed by the cute way you pull your pants up. the way you say my name like you’ve known me forever and the way you try to cop a feel at work just makes me lose my shit a little, hahaha. damn, I’m really going to miss you. when you can tell I’m anxious so you ask me to smoke, I just wanna bear hug you and stare into those soft brown eyes. when I live in the other direction and can Uber, you take me home anyway even when we don’t say a word to each other. then we get home only to have two *TWO* convos with each other over instagram and text while in bed haha. you have a warm, cozy feeling about you that relaxes me so I can just be me. and I like how we’re so competitive with each other although we both know I’m always right. (still standing by that it’s jack hair-er.) I can be so carefree at times, and it’s so grounding to be around someone who is rooted in who he is. it turns me on that you’re a hard worker. you help me see how I can be a better person. also, your learning sign language, wanting to be a pilot, and going to magic school (haha, dork)…your aspirations really amaze me <3.

remember you told me, “abre tus ojos”? you helped me face what I couldn’t see myself. because of you, I’ve stopped telling half truths to get by. I think we’re all a little lost or running from something. it felt so free walking down the pier and driving to the edge of the earth with you. that night we argued in my rental car…you stayed and tried to understand even when I didn’t. you gave a mile when I only gave an inch. and, you respected me even when you were angry. I couldn’t do the same. but kissing you after… that night was a huge wake up call for me. I didn’t want it to end. I wanted to show up better, for you. thank you for being you, and for spending time with me. for showing me all your colors. and for liking me for me. you know you’re a little crazy too. but I like you way more for it. it hurts me to leave you with things still in the air. know that you mean so much to me. how you see me, care for me and show up for me will always be in my heart.

yours, m.

40 Questions with PAX: Marius Edition

Describe yourself in a hashtag?

#theprinceofstellis#

What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

Hm, I suppose people don’t really know that I enjoy inventing. I like all forms of creation—painting, sculpting, inventing new toys, but the last one is less reported on. Well, now you know!

What’s your wakeup ritual?

Jiejie, what kind of question is that? I naturally always wake up this handsome.

What’s your favourite time of day?

Morning. I love the sunrise.

Dream country to visit?

I’ve been to Italy before, but I’ve never managed to forget it. Definitely first on my list of countries to visit again. Have you ever been? If not, I’ll make sure to whisk you away with me for a week to Venice. 

Vintage or new?

New. I like vintage things every now and then, but my eyes are set forward. I’m always looking to the future, eyeing new trends, figuring out what’s next in line for all industries. Don’t you like a well-rounded man?

What are three things you can’t live without?

Your eyes, your smile, your voice. Hahaha, stop hitting me! Come on, jiejie, I won’t tease anymore. I can’t live without my phone, my sketchpad and... can I say Vincent? Vincent it is.

Favourite piece of clothing you own?

My necklace. It fits every outfit. 

Superpower you would want?

I think being able to teleport would be good. There’s so many places I want to visit, but travel takes so much time. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could bring you coffee brewed straight from Brazilian coffee beans, without the dip in quality from exporting it?

What’s inspiring you in life right now?

Someone in my life who works very hard. I’ve always worked hard to achieve everything I have today, but I think I’ve gotten slightly complacent. To see someone working so diligently day by day—it’s humbling.

... Jiejie, don’t give me that look; I didn’t name you, so if you think it’s you then... hehe.

Best advice you’d give your teenage self?

Just wait it out. The person you’ve been waiting for will come into your life. You just have to be a bit patient.

What would you like to be remembered for?

My work. Not for the PAX Group per se, but... I want to go back to art, some day. And the works I make then... I want to be remembered for them.

How do you define beauty?

A fleeting moment. I think beauty is best encapsulated in seconds; the sudden change in the colour of a sunset, the abrupt brightness in your eyes, the moment fireworks explode in the night sky as the moon hangs over a lake. It’s the seconds that matter. Those are the most beautiful moments.

Best way to decompress?

Take out a sketchbook and paint. Get my hands dirty and start sculpting. It always takes my mind off things.

Favourite place to view art?

Anywhere. There’s no one fixed place to view it. 

If you could master one instrument, what would it be?

The violin. I can play the piano and the guitar, but I never learnt how to play the violin. Do you know how to play the violin? Maybe we could perform a duet one day.

If you had a tattoo, where would it be?

Somewhere subtle. Maybe the inside of my wrist. I want it to be easily visible from my perspective, so I can see it every day, but not so obvious that others can see it at first glance. It’s probably going to be something about you, so it’ll be our little secret. I won’t let anyone see it.

What’s your favourite colour?

Usually, purple. Lately, I’ve been feeling quite inclined to a light red. 

Diamonds or pearls?

Both. If I can afford both, why should I choose? That’s the beauty of being a rich man. Which do you prefer, jiejie?

Coffee or tea?

Coffee. But I enjoy a good tea latte every now and then.

Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?

I like dark chocolate. Most milk chocolate I’ve tried is way too sweet for my liking. Of course, I’ll eat whatever kind of chocolate you give me, jiejie.

Stairs or elevator?

The stairs. Unless I’m running late, then the elevator.

Summer or winter?

Summer. Winter is too cold.

A skill you’re working on mastering?

How to get someone to fall in love with me at first sight. Hm... I’ve already missed out on the first sight moment, so I guess the new skill I’m learning is how to get someone to fall in love with me. As soon as possible.

Best compliment you’ve ever received?

That I was good-looking. The substance of the compliment doesn’t really matter. It’s about who it came from, you see? Jiejie, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how you told me I—okay! I’ll stop, I’ll stop, don’t point that recording device at me, I can’t afford to hurt this face that was praised as good-looking by you!

Hugs or kisses?

Both. I like both.

Favourite smell?

Fresh paint and rain. 

Lipstick or lip gloss?

I like seeing you with lip gloss. Does that count?

Sweet or savoury?

I prefer savoury food. 

How do you know you’re in love?

What a funny question, jiejie. I look into the mirror and I know. I’m just waiting for the person I love to give me a proper reply. Let me know your answer after this interview is over, okay?

Okay I’ve decided to do a single rec after I finish one novel hahaha because if I wait to get around to it all it’ll never happen! Anyway because @sarah-yyy​​ has been reading it and I’ve gotten a lot of asks/replies on this, I’m just going to do one huge list for one of my faves so everyone knows what’s going on and where to find things XD

- Part of Min’s ‘Why You Should Read’ Series -

Summary: 

This is set in a historical setting where men can marry other men, but it’s usually reserved for sons who were not borne by the official main first wife of the patriarch of the family, i.e. a son born by a concubine in a family may be forced to marry a man to keep him from being able to become the next family’s patriarch for example. This is because any family’s next leader needs to be able to have children with a wife who married in as a zheng shi (lawful wife), and not a ce shi (second wife) or any other concubines/mistresses etc. Most of these men who marry other men have to take them as their zheng shi and lawful spouse in a sense, and the same goes for the royal family.

The story starts with third prince Jing Shao, who was forced to marry Mu Han Zhang, a Marquis’ second son, by the Empress and Emperor, thereby officially and effectively cutting him out of the race for the throne. He’s mocked by the public as everyone knows what this means, and for the next 10 years, he neglects Mu Han Zhang, blaming him for his predicament, and deliberately showers his three other concubines with affection in front of him, but 10 years later, when Jing Shao is accused of treason, everyone leaves him except for Mu Han Zhang. They are chased to the edge of the cliff by soldiers, and Mu Han Zhang dies in his arms having taken an arrow meant for him earlier, and Jing Shao jumps off the cliff with his dead body, and promises that if there’s a next life, he will do everything Han Zhang says, and love him.

He wakes up immediately on the night of his marriage with Han Zhang, and realizes that he’s been given a second chance to make everything right. Han Zhang is definitely afraid of him, humiliated and angry when he first wakes up after how rough Jing Shao was with him earlier on their wedding night, and he has no memories of their past life. Jing Shao then sets to SHOWER HAN ZHANG with affection, love and basically everything, because he realized that this is the only person who stayed by his side until the end, and then he falls in love with Han Zhang properly this time, and also deals with every single person who maligned and schemed against him in his previous life, with Han Zhang by his side.

Read: 

Novel (Online) | Novel (Print) - Not Available | Novel Translations | Manhua (You’ll have to download the KuaiKan app, the chapters are currently all free)

Characters:

1. 景韶 Jing Shao - 3rd Prince and is the first out of his three other brothers to be given a title 成王 (cheng wang). He’s referred to as 王爷, and also 小勺 (xiao shao) by Han Zhang. Went out on his first war when he was 14, and was thus given a title before any of his brothers. He’s known for being a merciless, cold and fierce army general/commander, but this was before his second life with Han Zhang, where he puts on like his doting mode and is basically a dumbass XD who listens to Han Zhang with a lot of trust, which is cool and all.

He marries Han Zhang when he’s 19, and in his first life he was very reluctant and resistant, and neglected Han Zhang for 10 years, until he was charged with treason and hunted down. 

In his first life he wanted to snatch the throne, even from his blood-related brother Jing Chen, but more out of spite than anything else because he felt he was dealt an unfair hand by having to marry Han Zhang. Not only that, but Jing Shao is not his father’s favourite son, and he always felt that the emperor was biased against him. Anyway, a huge accumulation of daddy and anger issues, which is fair.

When he realizes that Han Zhang died for him, he decides he will be good to Han Zhang if they are reborn in their next life.

2. 慕含章 Mu Han Zhang - The 2nd son of Marquis Bei Hou’s, born to a concubine. He’s called by his 表字 which is 君清 (jun qing) by Jing Shao. Official First Wife Bei Wei Hou-furen and her son (who is in line to inherit the Marquis title from his father) has bullied him all his life, and wanted to push him into greater desperation by marrying him to Jing Shao, knowing he will suffer at the hands of the supposed merciless/heartless wangye. He has a weak body because of an accident when he was younger, and in his first life he was really sick after being neglected for 10 years, and knowing this in their second life, Jing Shao does everything he can to take care of him.

He is incredibly smart, has a brain for business and sales, and is also very good at handling people, especially scheming ones. He aids Jing Shao in the beginning of their second life, and then Jing Chen later as well, as both brothers begin to fight to put Jing Chen on the throne, against the 1st and 4th Princes. Is an incredibly good tactician in war as well.

3. 景琛 Jing Chen - 2nd Prince, Jing Shao’s blood related older brother who is handsome af too. His title, given later in the novel, is 睿王 (rui wang). He was misunderstood by Jing Shao in the first life as Jing Shao thought it was his brother who led to him marrying Han Zhang, and because he’s not very good at expressing himself and shows his concern to Jing Shao by nagging at him, Jing Shao always thought he hated him. In their second life, Jing Shao already knows that Jing Chen loves him and did a lot for him in his first life, and so trusts his brother and supports him right off the bat, because Jing Chen is indeed the most suited person for the throne.

He has a wife and a concubine, 3 sons and 2 daughters at this point. He ends up helping Jing Shao a lot, and when he realizes that Han Zhang is way more adept at politics and the whole scheming thing than Jing Shao is, he begins trusting Han Zhang a lot more as well! There’s a surprise with Jing Chen hahaha which I loveee and could see, but wasn’t sure until they confirmed it in the last few chapters AHAHAHAHA.

Other Notable Characters:

1. Song Ling Xin (Second Wife) on the left, and two other concubines on the right

They’re pretty much vying for Jing Shao’s attention, but at this point apparently he hasn’t slept with any of them before. Song Ling Xin is the daughter of the Military Department’s Head Song An, and Jing Shao married her initially out of interest. The right most concubine (I forgot her name oops) was a gift given to him by his oldest brother, the 1st Prince. The two of them played a huge role in Jing Shao’s downfall back in his first life, and so in his second life, he especially detests Song Ling Xin. Plus the three of them keep bullying Han Zhang in the beginning, but thankfully Jing Shao is like: “Anything my Jun Qing wants”. They don’t stay around for long either, watch as Jing Shao gets rid of them like he’s swatting flies.

2. Xiao Yuan & Zhou Da-Ge

This is another male couple who’s been married for 7-8 years if I recall. Xiao Yuan is one of Jing Shao’s important allies and friends in the second life, because in Jing Shao’s first life, this was one of the only young officials in court who spoke up for him when the accusations of treason came about. Zhou Da-Ge is his husband, who is a cook running a restaurant in the city. Whenever Zhou Da-Ge bullies Xiao Yuan in bed a little too much, Xiao Yuan punishes him by making him wear colourful clothes out (pink, bright yellow, purple, etc.) and thus he has a reputation for being eccentric and a weirdo, but oh well, all for love.

3. Gu Huai Qing

One of Jing Shao and Jing Chen’s most powerful allies, and he becomes blood-sworn brothers with Jing Shao without realizing who he is. Later he takes a liking to Jing Chen.

(Will update with photos when they come out, but they’re a bit further into the story so we won’t have them for a few months yet ahahaha)

Amazing Scenes:

Jing Shao & Han Zhang first looks in the manhua

Jing Shao being THAT clingy husband and helping Han Zhang to wear his clothes properly so cute!!!!!

Han Zhang and Jing Shao in their first lives (10 years later), about to die, sad and then Jing Shao jumps down the cliff with Han Zhang’s corpse, regretful cuz he a dumb bij

Jing Shao unable to resist kissing Han Zhang’s cheek, realizes what he’s doing, and gets embarrassed LMAOOOO 没出息!!!!!!! (This is different from the novel, because in the novel Jing Shao just kisses and is done with that, the embarrassment part is drawn in only in the manhua hahaha)

Other Things I Like in the Novel:

Jing Shao is like, he does a 180 entirely and he is very cognisant of all his faults and what he did wrong previously, and how badly he treated Han Zhang, so he legit forces his brain to go “I will listen to Jun Qing from now on” and he really sticks to it!

Loves kissing and teasing Han Zhang, but doesn’t force him into bed after their wedding night, and instead goes to Xiao Yuan and asks for tips on how to make his partner feel less scared about sex

The both of them end up with a pet tiger?!! That’s called Xiao Huang (little yellow) LMAO

They nap together a lot which I love <3333

Jing Shao knows he’s bullied at home, so when they go back to the Marquis Bei Hou manor, he holds Han Zhang’s hand in front of everyone to let them know Han Zhang has someone to back him up

Brings Han Zhang to war because he “cannot concentrate if Jun Qing isn’t with me at all times” - and asks for special permission to do so

Han Zhang notes that since he married Jing Shao, as the ‘wife’ he is supposed to serve Jing Shao, but it’s always Jing Shao serving him - Getting water for him, bringing him to baths, putting clothes on for him, putting food in his plate if it tastes nice, massaging his back and waist etc. - and best is he doesn’t have to deal with any in-laws?!! HAHAHA

Jing Shao gets revenge on those who hurt Han Zhang when he was younger for him, and the outcome is pretty hilarious but well-deserved

EPILOGUES are cute af!!!!

[butwhyduh]

Can you write something with Cassandra Cain/ Black Bat and the prompt ‘sexy training/sparring’ with supersis!reader?

Ooooo Interesting idea.

Warning: suggestive but no smut

Another complete mission done and the post mission meeting was coming to a close and you just wanted to take your shower and go to bed. Nightwing finally nodded and you started walking up to your room along with everyone else.

“Hey, can I talk to you,” he asked and you turned around. The others filed out around you.

“You were reckless. You could have gotten hurt today-“

“I don’t have a scratch on me-“

“And if they had Kryptonite or magic, you’d be dead,” he finished his sentence. “You need training before I let you go back out in the field. You’ll get someone hurt. Mandatory remedial training starts tomorrow.”

“Wing- really?” You protested.

“Yep! And I have just the person to punch you into shape,” Dick said with a positivity that was purposefully annoying.

“Who?”

“Black Bat,” he said while leaving the room.

“… Black Bat?” You mumbled after he left. So you’d worked with her a few times. She’s an insanely good fighter and her outfit is super scary. And you might have a tiny huge crush on her.

The next morning you were surprisingly nervous. Was it the fact that your heart beat a little faster when you thought of spending all day with her? Maybe. Was it genuine worry that she might find a way to actually hurt you? Maybe. We’re you gonna get your ass beat? Absolutely.

Cassandra and Dick walked in together and he rubbed his hands together happily. She was wearing black Lycra clothing and no mask. Her black hair was chin length and brushed back from her forehead.

“Okay so Cass is gonna train you with some defensive and offensive maneuvers but first we just want you to spar. No powers from you,” he looked at you. “No speed, no flight, and definitely no super strength. Cassandra is still a regular human. Even though she kicks everyone’s butt,” Dick said in a false whisper. Cass had a small smile.

“I’m not worried,” she said and her smile grew. You smiled nervously. You were gonna die.

“Alright, let’s spar,” Dick said.

“Okay,” you squeaked out.

Cass got in a fighting pose and you held your hands up. She immediately swept your legs from beneath you and you landed on the mat solidly. You tried to jump back up but a kick to the side had to landing on the ground again with a small oof of air puffing from your chest and if actually hurt. That was a new sensation.

“You are.. durable,” she said conversationally as she danced around you and you barely dogged most of her punches.

“Uh yeah, part Kryptonian,” you answered and another kick landed on your ribs and you were wincing in pain. How was she actually hurting you?

“That kick would have killed anyone else and she barely reacted,” she told Dick. He nodded. “But she is not trained to fight. Only strong enough to be hit,” Cass added.

“I’m right here,” you protested. “Wait, killed??”

She kicked your legs from beneath you and you landed bodily on the ground. Cass quickly wrapped her legs around your arm and shoulder in a hold and pulled. It didn’t quite hurt but you weren’t able to move either.

“Do you tap out,” Dick asked and you kinda pulled your arm for Cass to go along with it. You tried to sit up and was rewarded with a kick to the same spot on your side as before. It dropped you back to the floor.

“… yeah,” you groaned. She immediately let go and got back in a standing position. You rolled to your feet slowly.

“No super strength,” Cass reminded you.

“Again? You beat me easily,” you said.

“Make it less easy,” she smiled widely and your heart pounded in your chest at the sight, even though it meant she was going to beat you up again.

Dick’s phone went off and he walked to the edge of the room to answer. You took the break to grab some water. You weren’t tired exactly but it was something to do. He came back with an apologetic look.

“I’ve got to go. But you two keep it up. Cass knows what she’s doing. Sorry,” he said.

“It’s okay. We’re having fun,” she said.

“We are?” You said surprised.

“Yes, I don’t have to hold back.”

“Great,” Dick said as he left the room and you up Cassandra’s mercy. Your nerves went sky high. You were way too attracted to her to act normal in this situation.

She stood back in a fighting pose and motioned for you to attack her. You gave a punch far from full strength and before you could blink, she had hit you twice in the ribs with the side of her hand and pulled your hand behind your back and upwards.

“Don’t leave yourself open. Hands up,” she commented while releasing your hand. You nodded.

You started again with a punch and this time you blocked one hit but she kneed you in the stomach instead and you groaned. How hard could she hit?? She knew what areas to hit. You tried to punch her and she knocked your legs from beneath you and you hit the mat again, this time on your back.

Cass straddled your waist and started hurling you with a barrage of punches that you could barely dodge. You tried to hit back only to have her tie your wrists with a rope you hadn’t even seen her grab from some pocket. She was lightning fast. You pulled at them before stopping when you realized you couldn’t use your super strength in the fight.

“Do you tap out,” she asked and you could only stare at her. Holy shit you were too gay for this. Way too gay. She was straddling your waist ffs.

One of those things that wasn’t public knowledge was her increased abilities to read body language. Cass studied you and the way you moved and looked at her and it didn’t take much to learn what was on your mind.

She increased the pressure by pulling your wrists. You gasped. “Do you tap out?” Cass repeated, looming over you.

“I- uhh,” you stuttered. Your mind was gone. Smoke. A pretty girl was on top of you.

“Why are you… flustered,” she asked. She was staring at you like a detective. Was she bending closer? Her heartbeat wasn’t louder, you realized. But that didn’t mean much to a bat who probably trained that away.

“Well- you’re, I mean,” you stuttered again. She was definitely bending down towards you and you froze. Cass bent by your ear and your skin tingled at her breath.

“You find me distracting,” she whispered. It wasn’t a question. “You often watch me train.” She ran her teeth along the edge of your earlobe and you loudly inhaled. Your hand wrapped around one of her wrists lightly as best it could. Cass turned her head and you couldn’t help but look down at her lips.

“You’re brash. And reckless,” she stated and you gulped. She looked your face over before continuing. “But you have a kind heart.”

You turned your face to better accommodate a kiss if she wished. Hopeful but certainly not expectant.

“Too bad you can not fight,” she mused before pressing her lips against yours. You melted in her touch. You tried to cup her face or hug her or anything to only feel the rope around your wrist. She nibbled on your lip and you ripped the rope to thread your hand in her hair.

She pulled back. “No super strength.”

“But-“

“None,” she said tilting your chin up towards her. You put your wrists back where she had them. She pressed her lips back against yours and you couldn’t help the soft sounds you made. You pulled away at the noises in the hall.

“Nightwing,” you breathed and Cass was up and standing like nothing happened within a second and right before Dick opened the door. You, of course, looked like an idiot laying on the ground.

“Any progress,” Dick asked as you stood back up.

“Uhh,” you started.

“She will learn,” Cass answered. Dick was looking at you and Cass grinned like a cat at you from behind you.

“Yep,” you said and he smiled.

“Good. We’ll schedule it a few times a week,” Dick said while typing on his phone. Probably making the schedule already. “Just until Cass decides you’re ready. Now you have flying training with Koriand’r. You’ll be in fighting shape in no time.”

————————————

Hours later:

“So how is Y/n doing?” Clark asked Dick.

“Good. She’s training to be a better fighter before I put her out in the field.”

“Who with?” Clark asked with a frown. “Even though she didn’t grow up fighting, she has super streng-“

“Don’t worry. She’s training with Black Bat and to be honest, she probably won’t get a single hit in,” Dick said with a grin.

“I’m surprised she didn’t faint,” Clark said jokingly. Dick’s smile dropped.

“Is she having an health problems or anything-“

“No no. She’s just a… big fan,” Clark said. Dick nodded casually before realization hit him.

“Like that?”

“Hahaha yeah,” Clark said with a laugh. “Anyways, I’ve got to go. Talk to you later.”

TRACK 3: I WILL SUCK YOU DRY

*Cling cling* 

“Now tell me...What did they do to you? Aahn!?”

*Cling*

“Tsk...Ah, haah, haah...This pisses me off! In that case, I’ll just check myself…”

*RIIIIIP*

“Hahaha...I’ll rip off all of your clothes…Ughー!!”

*RIIIIP*

[00:41] “...Haah? What’s the matter? Gettin’ embarrassed' now? Just how many times have I done this sorta thing to you? Get used to it already. Usually I wouldn’t mind that kind of flustered reaction, but right now...I’m not in the mood!!”

*RIIIIP*

*Rustle rustle*

“Come on, gimme a better look...You shouldn’t mind showin’ me everythin’ if you’ve got nothin’ to hide, right?”

*Cling*

“Let’s start with your nape…Come closer!”

You hesitantly scoot closer.

“More!”

*Rustle*

“Exactly. You better behave, ‘kay? ...Or else, you’ll be in a world of trouble.”

*Sniff sniff*

[01:44] “Hahaha...You reek. It’s their scent. The smell of multiple men. I didn’t even need to strip you out of your clothes to check. I knew all along. ...Fuck!!”

*Cling cling*

“Haah, haah...Dammit...My body feels heavy...I haven’t had anythin’ to eat or drink this whole time...So I can’t even find the strength to do anythin’ to you…”

*Rustle*

[02:28] “While I was goin’ through hell and back...You were havin’ the time of your life, weren’t you? Hahaha...What a joke!”

You flinch.

“Aah...I feel like I’m gonna puke...Their stench gets stuck in my nose...Almost as if they’re still closeby... “

You look at him with tears in your eyes.

“Hahaha...Ahahaha! Why are you givin’ me that look? Are you hurt ‘cause I’m appalled by you?”

*Rustle rustle*

[03:12] “Don’t get all teary-eyed…Kuhーー!! Ugh...Haah, haah…!”

*THUD*

“Haah...I can’t believe tryin’ to tease you only makes it harder on myself...I’m disgusted with myself. Lame...Kuh! ...Dammit…! I’m definitely gonna beat those guys to death!”

*Thud*

[03:56] “...What’s wrong, Chichinashi? I don’t have the time to mess with you right now.”

You ask Ayato if he’s okay. 

“Ah? You’re worried? Have you lost it? Maybe you should worry ‘bout yourself instead, huh? If they took a likin’ to you, who knows when they’ll come for you again.”

You reach out for him but he shakes off your hand. 

“...!! Don’t touch me!!”

*Rustle*

[04:29] “Didn’t I just tell you to leave me the fuck alone? ...Shit! I’m hungry right now and extremely irritable. So much so I fear I might just suck you dry, no matter how hard you cry or scream...even if it means flat-out suckin’ you to death. I’m beyond parched. 

Haah, haah, haah...It feels like the inside of my throat might stick together...Since you’re still here... I guess that means you don’t mind things turnin’ out that way if you continue to pay mind to me..”

*Cling*

[05:15] “Although, I want nothin’ to do with you while you reek of those other dudes.”

You give him permission to suck your blood. 

“Hahaha...What do you mean ‘I don’t mind if you kill me’? Don’t play with fire when deep down, you don’t have the balls. ...Kuh! Fuck…I’ve seriously gotten dizzy…Haah, haah…”

*Cling cling*

[05:57] “...! You really never learn, do you? Didn’t you hear me just now? I wouldn’t be able to hold back right now, nor do I have any interest in you right now…!!”

He attempts to push you away.

“...Or do you want to be sucked dry and die maybe…!?”

You insist.

“Aah…? ‘Suck’, you say? ...Chichinashi. ...I’m not jokin’ ‘round right now!!”

You look at him with serious eyes.

[06:32] “...Che. You sure have some nerve...Spoutin’ that nonsense when you have no idea how I feel right now.”

You explain.

“Ah…? You feel bad for me? Your pity won’t work on me. Do you think all it takes is that sweet, meek attitude to wrap me ‘round your finger? ...Fuck! This seriously pisses me off!”

*Thud*

*Rustle rustle*

[07:05] “Don’t...trigger me...Haah, haah...Get out of my sight!! NOW!!”

You shift around on the spot.

“What part of ‘go away’ did you not understand, aah!? You can’t just find some way to get rid of these chains, no!?”

*Cling cling*

[07:31] “In that case, how ‘bout I just chop off your leg?”

Your eyes widen in horror.

“Hahaha…That’d get rid of the shackles. I’d say it’s a much better option than remainin’ locked up down here.”

You protest.

[07:51] “Fuck...That expression...You really don’t understand the danger you’re in, do you? I bet you’re convinced I’d never do such a thing, aren’t you? ...Fine. Seems like persistent hypocrites only learn the hard way. ...You’re spreadin’ this disgustin’ stench all ‘round...I’ve had enough of it.”

*Rustle*

[08:23] “Even though you’re my prey…! ...Now brace yourself!”

*Cling cling*

*Rustle*

“ーー Chichinashi. I’m gonna suck you dry.”

TRACK 4: PARCHED

*Cling cling*

Ayato bites you.

“Mmh...Nn…Hah...Hahn...Mm…”

*Gulp*

[00:19] “Hah...Should I just rip your throat apart with my fangs like this? Hahaha...Hahn...Mmh…”

*Sluuuurp*

“Fuckー ...I can’t get enough...I know I talked shit earlier...But your blood is still hella delicious...Hahn...Mmh…”

*Gulp*

“Hah...Mmh...Nn…”

*Gulp*

“Hahn...Mmh…”

*Gulp*

“Nn…”

*Rustle*

[01:10] “Your blood drives me mad. Hahn…”

*Gulp*

“Nn...Hah…”

*Cling*

“Haah, haah…”

*Rustle*

[01:33] “Fuck…! I’m playin’ straight into their hand...I’m sure they hurt you, ‘cause they predicted I would do this..I realized as soon as I sucked your blood.”

You tilt your head to the side.

“...How can I tell? Beats me. I’m sure they tampered with your body in some way. I bet they did it while pretendin’ to suck your blood. This fuckin’ pisses me of…! So everything’s goin’ exactly accordin’ to their plan, huh? Shit!”

*Cling*

[02:19] “But still...I can’t suppress this thirst...Haah...I need more...More...I haven’t had nearly enough...Give me more and more!”

*Rustle rustle*

“I don’t like how I’m basically dancin’ to their tune...but right now, I could care less ‘bout that. Haah...Haah, haah...Up next...is this place.”

*Rustle*

[02:58] “I’ll suck from your earlobe. Seems like those guys missed this spot. Hahaha…”

Ayato bites you again.

*Sluuuurp*

“Hahn...Mmh...Nn...Hah...I want to just devour you whole...Hahn…”

*Sluuuurp*

“Hahn...Mm…”

*Gulp*

[03:37] “Nn...Hah...Tastes great...When I realize they got to savor this blood as well...It seriously grinds my gears. Like my head’s ‘bout to explode or somethin’...”

*Cling cling*

“Ughー ...Now don’t get the wrong idea, ‘kay? I don’t like havin’ to repeat myself a million times. I have zero interest in you as a person. I just can’t get enough of your blood...That’s all.”

You whimper, completely dazed by the pleasure. 

[04:18] “...What’s wrong? Did it feel that good? You’ve totally got that dumb look on your face. ...Do you want more? Hahaha…”

*Rustle*

“Don’t try and hide it. You should realize that’s pointless already. Haha. Well, I also said a bunch of shit earlier, but I don’t feel satisfied yet, so I’m still gonna suck more of your blood. ...I’m so parched, it’s killin’ me…”

*Cling*

[05:01] “I’ll bite your other ear next.”

He bites your other ear.

“Mmh...Nn…”

*Gulp*

“Hah…”

*Gulp*

*Sluuuurp*

[05:21] “...Hahaha. Look at you twitchin’...What? Do you want more? Don’t get all worked up when I’m only tryin’ to enjoy my meal over here. Hahn…Mmh…”

*Sluuuurp*

“...Hahaha...Aahー Thanks to your blood, I feel somewhat brought back to life. However, I still haven’t had nearly enough…”

*Rustle*

[06:05] “Haah...My body aches even more than usual. What kinda shit did those jerks put inside of you…? Fuck...Oi, Chichinashi! Tell me what they did!”

You go quiet.

“Che. The silent treatment again, huh? Is it somethin’ you can’t say? Hahaha…”

*Cling*

[06:38] “Guess I’ve got no other choice…”

*Rustle*

“In that case...I’ll loosen your tongue this way…”

Ayato kisses you deeply.

“Mm...Nnh…”

*Smooch*

“Mmh…”

*Smooch*

[07:03] “...How’s that? I parted your lips for you, so now you can talk, can’t you? Hurry up and tell me.”

You look up at him. 

“When you look at me with those greedy eyes, your inner desires are clear as day. ...Now tell me, what kind of trap did they put on you? If you won’t, I’ll have to punish you harshly.”

You flinch. 

[07:36] “Hahaha...That terrified expression is pretty sweet, you know?”

*Cling cling*

“You want to know why I’m coiling these chains ‘round your neck? Isn’t that obvious? I’m goin’ to strangle you with these bad boys until you almost suffocate…”

Your eyes widen in horror.

[08:00] “I won’t tighten them all in one go, don’t worry. Instead, I’ll slowly rob you of your oxygen…” 

*Cling cling*

“I need you to tell me how they’re hopin’ to use you to their advantage after all…”

You shake your head.

[08:19] “Haah? You can’t tell me regardless? I see. ...Chichinashi, seems like they’ve captured both your body and soul by havin’ their way with you. That’s why you’re goin’ along with their plan and tempted me into suckin’ your blood, correct? Right!?”

You deny it.

“...I’m wrong? Then tell me! If you lay yourself completely bare and come beggin’ me to suck your blood more, I wouldn’t mind believin’ you.”

You hesitate.

[09:06] “You can’t, can you? You’re the type of chick who is in constant denial of her own inner desires after all.”

You protest.

“Shut up! Cut the crap! ー Also don’t cry! ...It pisses me off. I’m tempted to bite you to shreds right now and throw you out in front of them.”

You sob.

[09:34] “If you cry any more, I’m seriously gonna do it. ...Oi, understood?”

You nod.

“Hahaha...Look who’s being obedient now. You’re scared of these chains, aren’t you?”

*Cling cling*

“...Or is it all just an act, perhaps? Do you think I’d enjoy seein’ you shiver in fear like that and hurt you in return? 

ー You try and reason with him.

[10:05] “Haah…? I’m readin’ too far into it, you say? You really are an idiot, Chichinashi. Even before this whole ordeal, I never trusted you.”

You seem shocked.

“Hahaha...I can’t get enough of seein’ you hurt like that. I think you look the cutest when you make that expression.”

*Rustle rustle*

[10:41] “Human logic doesn’t apply to us Vampires. The fact that you’re gettin’ the wrong idea and lettin’ things get to your head proves that you’re nothin’ but a fool.”

*Cling*

“...Whatever. I rambled on for far too long. I’m thirsty again. My body is like a desert right now. ーー I became parched once more in no time.

Christmas Greetings from them [Genshin Impact]

Characters Included: Aether, Albedo, Amber, Barbara, Beidou, Bennett, Childe, Chongyun, Diluc Ragnvindr, Diona & Fischl.

Notes: .. AYE- TIME TO START WORKING- :DDD the child-like characters (qiqi, klee, diona, and paimon—) are all platonic. so no worries there- i also have to randomize Diona’s and Sucrose’s ;;w;; i’m just gonna imagine what’ll like if the two characters interact- some of this are long, some are short. So sorry abt the inconsistency :pp hope ya’ll like this! (Bc this is the first time i’ve done something like this- 🤧)

Ps: I have to cut this into several parts bc there is a maximum word count in one post- ;;w;; so i only added the ones that appeared here.

Additional Notes: based on the “wishes” thing. So like,, ya know, how we believe that if we make a wish on a star it’ll come true kind of thing? So,, when making a wish or prayer or something, they do it in a prayer position and think of it- and that person somehow receives it?? (I’m still not sure abt this part ;;w;; but let’s wing it-!). Also,, I refer “wish” as a prayer- 🤧 sorry if its confusing- hshs

Warning: some of the characters are OOC ;;w;; sorry-

Aether

With Paimon

“Oh? Is it already that time of the year again?”

“Of course it is! Don’t tell me you forgot-!”

“Oh-! Of course not, Paimon. Not with you constantly reminding me..”

“C’mon! Say your wishes! Oh.. also! You should probably say your wishes for your s/o!”

“Hmm.. you know what, Paimon. You could be useful sometimes.”

“Hey! What does that suppose to mean?!”

“Wishing stars.. this is for my beloved [Y/N], I wish that we can get to spend every Christmas season together. Though I may travel a lot, and may leave you one day, I hope that you’ll still love and cherish the limited time we have together. Always keep smiling that brilliantly for me, even if I’m gone. As much as this is becoming cheesy, keep me in your heart, okay? I’ll keep you in mine in return. Merry Christmas, [Y/N].”

Albedo

With Sucrose

“Sir Albedo-! Are you still busy with your research?”

“Hm..? Oh, Sucrose. Precisely, I’m almost done with it.”

“You should probably get some rest, sir! It’s almost Christmas Eve!”

“Christmas? Eve? Eh..? Is it already that late?”

“D-Don’t tell me you didn’t notice the time..?”

“I suppose so..”

“You should probably make your wish now! The stars are still out, so it’s not too late to make right now.”

“Ah, I forgot about that. Thank you, Sucrose.”

“Y-Your very welcome, sir Albedo-!”

“Stars that grants wishes, hear my wish. This is for my (princess/prince), my muse. How are you faring? I hope that you’ll come back soon so that we can celebrate this season of Christmas, and possibly more. Can you see the stars from where you are? Can you see how bright they are right now? I really do miss your presence.. I miss the sparkles in your eyes when I discover something new. I wish to see those again. Keep shining brightly for me, okay? Merriest of Christmas, my love.”

Amber

With Jean

“Amber? Are you still patrolling?”

“Acting Grandmaster Jean! Yep! I was about to head outside to patrol the area-!”

“You’ve been working very hard. I praise that trait though please don’t overwork yourself.”

“Hehe~ don’t worry, acting grandmaster Jean! I’m doing okay!”

“Well then, have you already wish?”

“Wish..? Ah! I forgot!”

“*chuckles* Of course. Better make that wish now before the stars vanish.”

“Okay! Thanks for reminding me, acting grandmaster Jean!”

“My pleasure, Amber.”

“Wishing Stars. I hope it isn’t too late to make a wish now-! I kinda forgot, so sorry.. hehe. Anyway, this is for my partner! How are you out there? Actually, where exactly are you? I kinda forgot where you went.. hehe, sorry. Make sure to eat plenty of food, okay? It’s important to eat 3 times a day to maintain a healthy body-! Also, you shouldn’t mind your weight! As long as you’re healthy, it doesn’t matter if you weigh alot! I’ll still love you no matter what! Merry Christmas, [Y/N]! Come visit me again!”

Barbara

With Noelle

“Oh? You’re still awake, Barbara?”

“Hm? Oh, Noelle! Good evening! Hehe, yeah. I was thinking of what wish I should make.”

“Ah. The legend of the Wishing Stars. I’m surprise that you believe in that sort of things.”

“Well.. it isn’t bad to dream, right?”

“I suppose. If I may, why not wish about your s/o?”

“[Y/N]..? Hm.. actually, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea-! Thanks so much, Noelle! You’re truly a good friend!”

“Hehe.. I’m just glad that I’m a help to you, Barbara.”

“O Wishing Stars, hear my wish. This is for my beloved [Y/N], of whom I wish to see again. Please let them be unharm. I wish I could accompany them in their journey but I have my role here as well. So I wish them the best in their travels. Please come visit though, I wish to see your face again, [Y/N]. And I wish to heal all the wounds that was cast upon you. Though I cannot heal the scars, you shouldn’t be afraid to show them. For they tell a tale of an adventure you went through. Come back in one piece okay? Merry Christmas, my beloved. Sweet dreams.”

Beidou

With Ningguang

“.. huh? Oh, what a surprise seeing you here, Ningguang.”

“I suppose it is quite a surprise, seeing as we coincidentally bump into each other in a hill. Tell me, what business do you have here?”

“I could say the same with you. It isn’t everyday you bump into a Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, in a secluded place like a hill no less.”

“I believe it’s the same reason as yours, peace and quiet.”

“Ah, same. Though, there’s another reason why I’m here.”

“Oh? And what is that?”

“To see the stars. Have you heard about the legend of the Wishing Stars?”

“Ah, I’ve heard about it but never really took an interest on them.”

“Well, the simplest explanation is that when you wish upon a star, it’ll come true or be sent to that person.”

“Interesting. It is quite interesting what a human mind can come up with.”

“Hm.. myth or not, I was thinking of doing one anyway.”

“Go ahead. Don’t mind my presence.”

“Kinda hard when you’re the Tianquan..”

“Do you wish to make me leave then?”

“Nah, you can stay.”

“Alright.”

“I have no idea on how to do this but- o wishing star, hear my wish..? Can you send this wish to my second mate? I wish you were here, to celebrate the holidays with me and the crew. It’ll be a blast if you were here.. Though I understand that you can’t be here because of your personal reasons. Though it would be nice to see you again.. I hope that wherever you are, they are treating you well. Your health comes first, okay? Stop thinking of others for a change.. though that’ll be impossible knowing you.. just keep smiling, okay? Your smile is a treasure afterall, a treasure that I selfishly want to keep. Merry Christmas, my second mate. May we cross the seas together again.”

Bennett

With Barbara

“Oh, it’s you again, Bennett. Are you injured again?”

“Hey Barbara! Nope, not today!”

“Thank goodness. I see that lady luck decided to give you a break atleast.. anyways, if you’re not injured, why’re you here then?”

“Ah, I came to ask you on how to send a letter or something to [Y/N]! I don’t know what to get them, and I don’t have a clue on where they are either-! Besides, it’s almost Christmas..”

“Hm.. I’m not sure if this is true but why not give her a wish from the stars?”

“Wish? From the stars?”

“You know.. the legend of the Wishing Stars.”

“oh.. Oh.. OH! I see! That’s brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?! Thanks Barbara! I owe you yet again!”

“*chuckles* I’m happy to help you whenever, Bennett. Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas too, Barbara!”

“Wishing stars, can you please send this to [Y/N]? I know I haven’t gotten anything for you this year, but next year, I’m gonna make it up to you! I’ll give you the best gift ever! Hope you’re doing well! Fischl is doing great, along with the people in the Adventurer’s Guild. Oh, and guess what? I didn’t get hurt today! I guess lady luck decided to give me a break.. hehe.. you know.. it isn’t the same without you. But take your time! You don’t need to come back immediately! I’ll wait for you! Even if it takes years for you to come back, I’ll wait! So please, come back okay? Me and the Benny’s Adventure’s Team will be waiting for you! Eat healthy and smile more! Merry Christmas! Love ya!”

Childe

With Teucer

“What are you thinking of, brother?”

“! Teucer! You know it’s rude to sneak up on people-!”

“Actually, I’ve been calling you for the past minute. You just haven’t responded to any of them.”

“.. really?”

“Really really.”

“Well, now that you have my attention, what do you need?”

“Mommy is asking when we will meet your s/o.”

“Eh? They want to meet [Y/N]?”

“Yep! Their curious on who they are after you mentioning them a dozen times in the letters you sent for them!”

“.. I guess I’ve been mentioning them a bit too much.”

“So, when? When?”

“Well, not anytime soon I’m afraid.”

“Aww.. what gives?”

“Their on a journey afterall. When they get back, I promise I’ll let them meet [Y/N].”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

“Okay..”

“Goodnight, Teucer. It’s almost your bedtime.”

“Goodnight, brother..”

“Stars above, would you listen to my wish, I wonder? Will [Y/N] even receive this? Oh well, couldn’t hurt to try. How’ve you been? Hope you’re still alive. Actually, I’m pretty sure you’re still alive. You’re strong afterall. Anyways, my family wants to meet you. You’ve already met Teucer which made the rest of my family jealous because, for some reason, they also want to meet you. I mean, who wouldn’t want to meet you? You’re amazing in every way, [Y/N]. When you return, I’m gonna ambush you and kidnap you to meet my family. That sounds like fun actually.. hm.. might as well do that. Also, you better be getting some sleep. I don’t want to see any bags under your eyes. Hahaha.. Merry Christmas, [Y/N]. May the Tsaritsa protect you from harm.”

Chongyun

With Xingqiu

“.. oh, it’s you.”

“Eh? Aren’t you atleast excited to see me?”

“Not really..”

“Boo.. and here I consider you a close friend-!”

“Well.. you are certainly a friend. But are we really that close?”

“That’s cold coming from you, Chongyun.”

“.. did you just made a pun?”

“Yes. And I have no regrets.”

“*sigh* why are you here?”

“I came here to inform you about something I found!”

“If its a prank, then leave me out of it.”

“It’s got something to do with your s/o~!”

“..”

“I got your interest, didn’t I?”

“*sigh* on with it.”

“So, one of the books I’ve read contained a legend called the legend of the Wishing Stars.”

“The legend of the Wishing Stars? Sounds like a fantasy that someone came up with during story time.”

“Well, anyways. It says, if you wish upon a star during the night, your wish, or prayer, would be heard.”

“And how is this related to [Y/N]?”

“Well, since [Y/N] is out and about, why not make a wish for their safety?”

“But how would we know if that’s true?”

“Couldn’t hurt to try now, would it?”

“.. how would I know this isn’t one of your pranks?”

“I promise it isn’t! Most people know of it actually-! Even the traveller!”

“Traveller? Oh.. I guess it can’t hurt to try it out.”

“Hmhmm! I gotta go now though. Afterall, I just escape from home. See ya!”

“And off he goes. *sigh* he really does do what he pleases.”

“Xingqiu didn’t actually tell me how to do this so I’m gonna guess instead. Stars in the sky, is it true that you’ll grant my wish? Well, it’s not like you can answer so I’m just gonna guess that’s a yes. How are you, my snowflake? I presume that you have a safe journey in wherever you are. If you ever feel peckish, just eat some ice cream, it always works. Nothing exciting is happening right now. Xingqiu and Xinyan are their usual annoying selves, and Xiangling tried to feed me a new recipe she made. Say, when are you coming back? Where exactly are you? Maybe I can follow, wherever you are. But my duty as a exorcists lies here. I hope that pendant I gave you serves its uses to repel any ghosts that dare to haunt you. Oh, it’s almost Christmas. Merry Christmas, snowflake. I hope that next year, you would be here with me instead of somewhere else. Until we meet again.”

Diluc Ragnvindr

With Kaeya

“And what exactly are you doing here?”

“Is that a way to talk to a regular customer here?”

“Shouldn’t you have duties to fulfill, Cavalry Captain Kaeya?”

“Oh? We’re using our titles now, master Diluc?”

“Don’t call me that.”

“*laughs* alright alright. I surrender.”

“Are you really here for the wine? Or are you here to annoy me as usual?”

“Well, I will admit that I initially came here for the wine but I brought a present for you, for Christmas.”

“I hope it isn’t another vase.”

“*laughs* of course it isn’t. Do you know the legend of the Wishing Stars?”

“Doesn’t everyone?”

“So..”

“So?”

“Aren’t you going to make one?”

“Why would I participate in a childish myth?”

“Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try now.. especially to your beloved s/o.”

“.. you’re just trying to provoke me.”

“And it’s working~”

“Hrm..”

“C’mon~ don’t you want the best for [Y/N]?”

“What’s your end goal?”

“.. pardon?”

“What will you gain in the end if I do make a wish? Don’t tell me you’re doing this out of the ‘goodness’ of your heart.”

“... hm.. I still wonder that.”

“You’re just playing around with me, aren’t you?”

“Look, we all want the best for [Y/N]. If you want to do it, then do it. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t. I just came to inform you about that silly legend.”

“.. do you even believe in that?”

“Who knows?”

“..”

“I gotta go now. Merry Christmas, sir Diluc.”

“...”

“I can’t believe that I’m participating in a silly legend but, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try. Wishing stars, shining brilliantly in the night sky, would you hear my wish? I wish the best for [Y/N]. I wish they are faring well and that they aren’t having any problems with enemies like Hilichurls or Treasure Hoarders in wherever land they are in. But, won’t you guide them back to me? I admit that I miss them dearly and I worry about them constantly. I miss everything about them, their smile, their laughter, their eyes, their hair, their warmth, everything. I want to hold them in my arms again and kiss them. When I meet them, I’ll remind them of my love again. Hopefully, next year, they would stay by my side in the winter season. This is a wish I hold dearly. May Barbatos.. or that bard.. keep you safe. Merry Christmas, my love. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

Diona

With Mona

“.. who are you?”

“Me?! Why, I’m Mona! The famous Astrologer of Teyvat! I have mastered and know astrology more than anyone in Teyvat!”

“Yeah.. and I’m a dog.”

“I- You don’t believe me?!”

“Nope.”

“Urgh-! And who are you?”

“Hmph. I’m Diona. One of the bartenders in Cat’s Tail.”

“... how are you working when you look so young though?”

“It was honestly just a joke at first but big sister Margaret decided to hire me for real.”

“.. ah, I see.”

“So, why are you here?”

“Well, this is the best view of the stars of all of Teyvat.”

“Ah, I guess so..”

“Say, do you know of the legend of the Wishing Stars?”

“My dad used to tell me stories about that.”

“Well, I supposed it could be use as a bed time story.”

“Wait, it isn’t just a myth?”

“Who knows? There’s no proof of its existence but some people swear they could hear the person’s voice in their head. It’s still unclear on how this things happen, but that’s what makes it wonderful, don’t you think? So many mysteries yet so little answers..”

“.. I don’t think like that.”

“Really?”

“Hmhm.. All I wanted to do is to make a wine so disgusting that nobody would want to drink it. I don’t really see anything else besides that.”

“Ah.. I see.”

“Say, if I make a wish right now, would they receive it?”

“Well, it’s not certain but it wouldn’t hurt to try. Afterall, we humans just keep trying, never giving up. That’s one beautiful thing in humanity.”

“...”

“Why don’t you make a wish right now?”

“Hrm.. okay.”

“Just put your hands in a prayer position and close your eyes and wish in your mind.”

“O shining, wishing stars. I’ve only heard about you through dad and this random lady. But would you hear me out? I just want to know if my friend is okay. Their name is [Y/N]. I wanted to know if their safe and alive. It’s only been a few days, but I’m already missing them. They better be alright or else they’ll be in trouble when they get back! I want them back so that I can finally achieve the dream of ruining the wine industry! Hehe.. I hope they aren’t overexerting themselves out there, I know what their like and I’m honestly worried. Please bring them back to me in one piece. I still have to teach them the bow-! I want to give them the present I have for them. I made it myself, a bracelet! Dad help me make it! Merry Christmas, [Y/N]! Come back and be my partner in crime again!”

Fischl

With Bennett

“Hey! Fischl!”

“Hm? Ah, why isn’t it Bennett from the Benny’s Adventure Team. To what I owe a pleasure to?”

“I was just wondering if you’ll be going to the party that the Adventurer’s Guild is hosting. So, are you going?”

“Hm. If one has time, then perhaps. Not everyone has free time afterall.”

“Ehh? You’re still busy? Shouldn’t you relax for a bit? Whenever I talk to you, you always seem busy.”

“It is, afterall, a Prinzessin der Verurteilung noble duty.”

“Ah.. I suppose.”

“Is there anything else you would like to say before we part ways?”

“Oh yeah! Do you know of the legend of the Wishing Stars?”

“I am aware of it but how does this have any interest in our current predicament?”

“.. uh..”

“What mein Fraülein is saying is, how did this legend became an interest to you?”

“Ah! Well, it’s becoming popular among the people around this time of year. Maybe you can make a wish for.. [Y/N]?”

“.. perhaps.. we’ll try to find some spare time later on to do the wish.”

“Alright! Well, I gotta go. See ya later, Fischl, Oz!”

“Farewell, young lad.”

“Farewell..”

“Are you, perhaps, planning on making a wish right now, mein Fraülein?”

“There is no impending dangers around us, correct? Then perhaps, I can spare some time right now to get it off my mind.”

“Whatever you wish to do is what I’ll abide to, mein Fraülein.”

“O great, shining Wishing Stars, hear thy wish, one that is coming from heart. One wonders how the other fares? Have the Gods and Goddesses gifted them protection in wherever they are? Because making the Prinzessin der verurteilung worry like this is unheard of. Still, I would be utmost be grateful to find any sign of them still active. I, Fischl, Prinzessin der verurteilung, want them to return immediately in whatever journey they are in. Though I would still understand if they need more time to search for what they need to search. I.. honestly miss them and their warmth. I want them to hold me again, to reassure me that I don’t need to be perfect always. Ah-! I broke off of character! My apologies-! Anyways, since it is the season of winter festivities, I wish them a merriest of Christmas. May next year come and let us celebrate it together as one. I’m forever in love with you, please come back to me in one piece.”

**Requests quietly into the mic**

Feysand as werewolves💀

Hahaha anon I love it okay, I'm gonna do like maybe a 3-parter angst fest (werewolves necessitates angst, right?) but I am doing a sort of shapeshifting power type rather than a loses all control at the full moon type, I hope that's okay. Here we go!

Afraid of the Dark pt 1

Feyre didn't know why, but of the many things Tamlin had taken away from her, this bar was the one she'd fought for.

At his behest, she had stopped seeing her sisters, lost contact with a number of friends, and quit volunteering at the art school. It had happened gradually- the things that Tamlin had liked about her at first, suddenly felt threatening to him and over time, she left them all. It was just that he was so insecure. He had had a terrible childhood, didn't know how to relate to other people sometimes and he loved her so much that it hurt him to see other people hang off her. Other men hang off her. He was just so protective.

Or at least that's what Tamlin said.

But Verlaris bar was Feyre's favourite place. She did not make it there often, but she was there today, and walking through the door felt like coming home.

"Feyre!" a familiar voice greeted her. She looked up at found Rhys, with the same broad grin that he always had when he saw her.

Rhys, who wore black leather jackets and onyx rings. Rhys, who had been a regular at this bar longer than Feyre had. Rhys, who seemed to frequently have blood on his knuckles and a dimple in his cheek. She probably should have been scared of him, but he had always made her feel so welcome.

"Hello you," she said with a soft smile.

"Hello prick," Tamlin said, walking up behind her.

Of course Tamlin hated Rhys. But to be fair, Rhys was as provocative to Tamlin as he was sweet to Feyre. He met Tamlin's gaze now, and grinned wider, which she knew would infuriate Tamlin more than his frown.

"Oh hello to you too, sunshine," he said, and waggled his fingers. Tamlin just growled, and stalked to the bar. Feyre sighed, and followed him.

"I don't know why you always want to come here," Tamlin said.

"This is the bar we had our first date," Feyre reminded him. "I've always liked it here." She ordered a drink, and then was surprised when Tamlin pulled her into his arms.

Less surprised, when Rhys walked up and leaned his forearms on the bar next to them. A show of possession, then.

"What are you drinking, Feyre darling?" he asked her. "The usual?"

"She's not your darling," Tamlin snarled. Rhys just looked at him with mock sincerity.

"Don't be jealous, Tamlin dear," he said. "You can be my darling, too."

"And you can fuck right off," Tamlin snapped. "Or I'll come over there and make you." Rhys just rolled his eyes.

"Tip number one," he said. "The new scotch they've brought in is delicious." He winked at Feyre, motioning for the bar tender to pour her one. "Tip number two." He leaned toward Tamlin, and suddenly his voice was low and velvet. He looked right into his eyes as he spoke. "Don't threaten a man in his own bar."

Then he pushed off the counter, and returned to the pool table where his friends sat.

"Feyre," Tamlin said tightly. "Why does that dickhead always talk to you like that?"

"Like what?" Feyre asked, warily.

"Feyre darling," Tamlin mimicked. "The usual?"

Feyre shrugged. "He's known me for as long as you have, I guess."

"I don't like it."

Tamlin said nothing else for the next hour. Just sat and drank, and drank some more while Rhys's friends tried to talk to Feyre. The more they talked, the more hunched over Tamlin got, until Feyre started to worry and sent them away.

"Let's go," he growled, and pulled Feyre out the door.

When they got home, Feyre sat down on the bed to take her shoes off, and Tamlin sat heavily next to her and put his head in his hands.

"Do you hate me?" Tamlin asked her roughly.

"What?" Feyre said. "No, of course I don't hate you."

"Then why do you always need all these other people?" he asked. "Why am I not enough for you?" Feyre sighed. They had had this conversation so many times.

"Of course you're enough," she said. "I just like to have different people in my life."

"I don't," Tamlin said. "I don't need anyone but you. And I wish you loved me as much as I love you. Maybe you just never will."

"No, that's not it, Tamlin of course I love you."

He looked at her, with searing eyes. "Show me," he said.

So Feyre got up, and sat back down in Tamlin's lap. Straddled him on the bed and put her mouth on his. Kissed him until his arms were wrapping around her waist and her fingers were in his hair and he was pulling off her shirt.

"I love you," she murmured.

"Don't go back to the bar," Tamlin pleaded. He smelled like beer. "Promise me. Promise me you won't go back to the bar."

"Tamlin."

"Promise me. We don't need anyone but each other. Otherwise I swear, I could just burn it to the ground." Tamlin's hands tightened as he said it, squeezing her sides too tightly. He shook her once, and her teeth clicked together. "Promise," and this time, there was an edge to his voice that had never led anywhere good in the past.

And so Feyre closed her eyes, said "I promise," and let Tamlin pull her backward onto the bed.

Later that night, after Tamlin had fallen asleep, Feyre crept out of bed and out the back door. She pulled on a coat and shoes, and walked all the way to the edge of the forest near their house, before she sat down on a fallen tree, put her hands over her face, and cried.

This was not the first time Feyre had been out here. Tamlin didn't like it when she cried, so she had gotten good at bottling up the need and only letting it go when he was not around. Passed out drunk and sated in bed was a fairly safe bet.

So here she was, in the forest at midnight, with no one to witness her tears but the moon. It was strange, Feyre had been so afraid of the dark as a child. And now, the empty night was her only comfort.

After a few minutes, Feyre had cried enough to feel calmer. Exhausted, in fact. She stayed though, seated on the log and staring at nothing, not ready to go home yet.

It was in this empty, numb space that she saw it.

Thought it was nothing at first, fireflies maybe. But no, when she peered closer, two violet eyes peered out of the darkness. She gazed at them for a moment, and as if realising it had been seen and not bothering to hide anymore, out of the shadows stepped an enormous, black wolf.

"Hello," Feyre said softly. She wondered vaguely if she should be afraid. But she was so tired, and so emotionally drained that she couldn't quite muster up enough feeling to care if it did eat her right then and there.

The wolf took a few steps forward, and then, wondrously, sat down opposite her. Lay on the ground, and rested it's muzzle on the toe of her sneaker. Feyre sniffed.

"Oh, not hungry then," she said. "And here I thought I was alone." She stared down at it, and wondered why it was interested in her.

"I've made a dumb promise," she told it. "I promised Tamlin I'd leave Velaris for good." The wolf just watched her with its strange, purple eyes.

"I feel so sad, and alone, and I don't even have anyone left to talk to about it and now I'm here talking to a wolf." She laughed bitterly to herself. "Well, I suppose you're here. And you haven't eaten me yet, so I may as well tell you."

Feyre looked out into the forest.

"Velaris was the last place I felt like I had friends." She looked back at the animal. "Would you like to be my friend, Mr Wolf?" The wolf gazed back at her, and of course said nothing.

After a while, Feyre got up, dusted herself off, and walked home. The wolf didn't move, just watched her go and she waved at it as she went.

/

After she had disappeared, and her scent faded, the wolf got up. Shifted back into its human form, and took Feyre's place on the log.

Rhys put his chin on his folded hands, and frowned.

Another concept I would never have thought of on my own, thanks nonnie! Part 2 now up.

[discotreque]

hey, if you're up for talking about it, what about cap. freeman do you like that much, to declare her you fave star trek captain? (love your episode notes, thank you for those)

Aw, thanks!

As to your question... Red alert! Incoming wall of text! :P

First off, she’s legitimately like super badass? LwD is a show that’s extremely into “body horror, but for starships,” and I’ve lost count of how many catastrophic situations she’s gotten the Cerritos and other ships through with no—zero!—loss of life.

That said, she’s an obviously flawed character too, and her imperfections are so well-written. She’s not really less of a hothead than Mariner, just (usually) better at controlling it, but you can still absolutely see where Beckett gets it from. And it’s sort of a liability for Freeman on a Cali-class, but (something echoed more explicitly with T’Lyn) I truly believe it would be an asset if Starfleet were to give her some more boldly-going type missions.

Those flaws also aren’t permanent: in just 20 episodes we’ve seen her learn and grow as both a mother and a Starfleet captain, and that goes a long way with me in both fiction and real life. (In my experience, you learn infinitely more about someone from how they behave after they fuck up than you do from the actual fuck-up.)

I also really really like Freeman’s ambition vs. her insecurity. She feels like she’s better than her current circumstances give her the opportunity to demonstrate, and I relate to that frustration in a big way vis-à-vis my own lacklustre professional career.

Likewise, this one is almost certainly down to my own… complex relationship with my mother, but I think Freeman is a realistically good-but-not-perfect mom and captain to Mariner, who is an objectively difficult (though not impossible) person to either parent or command, and I love how sympathetic the show is to both women: neither of them is ever really “the bad guy” to the narrative or each other.

Finally, I admit it's possible she gets a few extra points from me because of how far she exceeded my initial expectations. Lower Decks is as much a workplace sitcom as a Star Trek series, and going in, I thought Captain Freeman was going to be a one-note “Clueless / Annoying Boss” archetype. She was of course so much more than that by the end of the first episode, and has barely even been used in that role since early S1, but it’s still hard not to compare Awesome Actual Freeman super favourably to the Annoying Imaginary Freeman who was in my head, hahaha

(...dear lord, I meant that to be “a few brief notes”—you caught me as my coffee was kicking in 🤦🏽‍♀️️🤦🏽‍♀️️🤦🏽‍♀️️)

[magma-queen]

I got into a crazy writing mood after writing that fix yesterday, so here’s some Hardenshipping fluff that no one asked for! 🤣 Enjoy! This was inspired by the brilliant @ticklepinions

“Maaaaaaaax..” Archie groaned, collapsing on their bed, head first. “Maaaaax…”

“Oh, for the love of God, Archie..” Maxie sat up, whacking him on his back with his book. “I am RIGHT HERE. What is it that you need?”

“Ubbles.” He said, muffled from laying against the mattress and covers.

“Uh, one more time?”

Archie twisted himself around and laid on his back, reaching his hand out to his husband.

“Cuddles. Now.”

Maxie smirked at him. “Well, why didn’t you just say so, then?” He scooted himself over to his side of the bed. “Come here, you big softy.”

Excitedly, he hopped over next to him and practically melted, enjoying his husband’s attention and loving touch. He laid his head in his lap.

“What the hell has gotten into you tonight? I’m used to you being all cuddly, but not THIS cuddly.” He blushed. “N-not that I’m complaining. Is there something wrong, Archie?”

“Nah..” he replied. “M’ just stressed out, that’s all.. I just needed some quality cuddle time with me hubby.”

Maxie chuckled. “I see.” He pet his head affectionately, then stroked his chin like a Skitty.

“M-Maxie!” Archie squeaked. “Ack- No! Bwahaha! Stop it!”

He raised an eyebrow. “But why? You look like you’re having so much fun~” He teased, keeping up the tickly touches at his husband’s neck and chin.

“Gahahahaha-!” He scrunched his neck up, pushing Maxie’s hands away. “Quit it!”

*chuckle* “At least I get a smile from you.”

Blushing, Archie sat back up, got into the covers, and wrapped his arms around Maxie’s waist, returning the cuddles.

“Mmm… Yer so damn warm…”

“I’ve literally spent most of my life near volcanoes, Archie. But you love it, anyway.”

Archie guffaws. “I sure as shit do..” He held him closer to his chest. “Hey, Max..?”

“Yes, Archie?” He questioned, looking up at him with curiosity.

His grip on him was gentle, but tighter.

“I know this is gonna sound really random… but I gotta tell ye… yer just like a stress ball.”

While he was telling him this, Maxie was grabbing a cup of water. (Yes. Water lmao) and he almost spit it out.

“*cough* A-A what??”

“A stress ball.” Archie repeated.

He just tilted his head in more confusion. “Archie, love of my life, I don’t understand. How am I like a stress ball? *snicker* I don’t stress myself out THAT much.”

“Well… it’s because ye calm me down every time I’m stressed.”

“Oh. I see. How sweet of you to say.”

Archie then smirked. “But….”

???

Maxie knew what the look on his face meant. “What are you-“

“Heh.. the only difference between ye and a real stress ball…” He grasped both of his sides.

“AAAEEEE!!!”

“Is that ye squeak when I squeeze ye!” He cackled, continuing to squeeze his sides.

“N-Nohohohohohoho! Dohohohohon’t!!” He fell back giggling, trying to squirm out of Archie’s arms. Ahahahaharchihihihihie!!!” He squawked, flailing back and forth.

“Haha! I gotcha!” He teased, pinning him down and squeezing his hips next. “Yer beautiful laugh is what puts me at ease, babe.”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! AHAHARCHIHIHIHIE!! ST-STAHAHAHAHA-!” He wrapped his arms around his stomach, cackling.

“Mm? What was that, babe?” He teased, nuzzling his beard into his neck while squeezing his sides once more. “Didn’t hear ye. What did ye want?”

“STAHAHAHAP!! ST- *SNOOOOOOOORT*

Archie immediately halted, devious fingers pulling away from Maxie. His mouth was open wide, in shock and amusement. Maxie on the other hand was HORRIFIED and slapped his hand against his mouth.

“What… was that..?”

Maxie’s face turned beet red, and he covered his face with his hands. “N-Nohohothing!! J-Just stop!! You’re embarrassing me!”

He smirked even more. “Didn’t sound like nothin’.. I think I wanna hear that again.” He said as he dove his fingers up his husband’s armpits.

“ACK- GAAAAAAAH!!!! NOOOOHOHO ARCHIE GOD DAHAHAHAHAHAMN IHIHIHIHIHIT!!! AAAAAH!! NOHOHOHO!! *SNORT* ST-STAHAHAHAHOP!!!”

“Oh my god.” Archie was almost in tears, his husband was so fucking cute. He gave his hips another squeeze.

“F-FUHUHUHUHAHAHACK!!! *SNORT* AAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!! *snort snort* STOP!! PLEHEHEHEHEASE!!!” He begged, arching his back and trying to wriggle his skinnier body away. No such luck. (Suffer, nerd)

“Hehe.. what’s the matter, Max? Ticklish?” Archie chuckled, easing his tickles a bit so he could answer him. “There’s no way that the leader of Team Magma could be this ticklish.”

“Lehehehehet mehehehe go, Archihihie…” He gasped, clenching his hands at his wrists, thinking that it will stop Archie from tickling him further.

News flash, it won’t. (Lmao)

“Or ehehelse…”

He smirked at Maxie and kissed his forehead. “Or else what, Max? You can’t stop the tickle monster, never can, never will.” He growled, tightening his grip on him, near ready to pounce again. “Damn, ye look so precious like this… I love ye so much..”

This embarrassed the Magma leader to no end. He thanked God that no one could see him so vulnerable, well… except Archie. He struggled, but it was no use. Archie was too strong and he was too weak.

“Me little stress ball~” The Aqua purred, nuzzling his beard into his neck once more, and giving his sides one more gentle squeeze, making Maxie squirm even more.

“No- St-Stohohohohop!” He giggled, trying to turn his head away from his rough, fuzzy beard. “A-Archie-! Hehehehehehe-!”

“Aww, c’mon… Don’t be like that… Ye know ye love my rough beard~ *nuzzle*

The man could only choke out giggles from his mouth, and at this point, he’s completely given up on trying to escape. He was too exhausted. Archie added kisses, which definitely did NOT help it tickle less.

“Hahahahaha- hehehehe A-ARCHIE! No!! Th-Thahahahahat tickles-!”

After a good while, he finally stopped, letting Maxie breathe.

“Ye alright, hun?” Archie finally asked, after nuzzling and kissing him to death. “M’ sorry… yer laugh is such a wonderful sound to me ears… *kiss* Forgive me?”

“Perhaps…” Maxie sighed. “If only I can do one thing.” There was playfulness in his tone.

Archie looked at him and raised an eyebrow. “What’s that, Max?”

“THIS!”

And with that, Maxie practically tackled the bigger man onto the bed and shoved his hands into his armpits.

“GAH-!! F-FUCKAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Archie’s boisterous laughter filled the entire room. “MAHAHAHAHAHAX!!! *WHEEZE* WAHAHAHAHAIT!!!”

“Oh, I’m done waiting, dear.” He smirked. “You deserve this more than you think you do.”

Tears had already sprang in Archie’s eyes, clamping his arms down only trapped Maxie’s hands, making his demise much worse.

“ST-STAAHAAAAHAHAAHAAHAP!! MAX PLEHEHEHEHEASE!! I’M BEHEHEHEGGIN YEHEHEHEHEHE!!!”

“Mm.. I don’t think so.” He smiled, lowering his hands to Archie’s sides and tickling faster. “Now that you had mentioned it, your laugh is just as wonderful~ why would I stop now when I can make you sing such a sweet melody?”

Flustered, Archie covered his blushing face, laughing harder.

“HAHAHA- GAHAHAHAHAHA!! *WHEEZE* STAHAHAHAP TEHEHEHEASING MEHEHEHE! HAHA- THAHAHAT’S NOT FAHAHAIR!!”

*smirk*

“Who said anything about teasing? I’m only speaking the truth, my love.”

Their fight continued, and neither of them noticed Shelly walk into their bedroom, yawning.

“You two are being so loud in here, I swear to god… Courts and I can’t sleep.. Tab and Matt neither.” She groaned, but she immediately found it amusing to see her best friend and leader getting his shit wrecked by Maxie of all people. “You, uh.. you okay there, Arch?” She’s never seen him laughing so hard.

“SHEHEHEHELLY FOR THE LOHOHOVE OF GOHOHOHOD HEHEHELP!!!”

“Help?” She grinned. “Okay, then.. I’ll help.”

She walked over to them and whispered something into Maxie’s ear. This made him chuckle evilly and grab both of Archie’s ankles.

“NO! DON’T YOU DA- GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

Maxie clawed his fingers at his husband’s feet. And Shelly was watching back, laughing.

“You said to help! And I did!”

“I MEHEHEHEHEANT HEHEHEHELP ME!!!!! NOHOHOHOT HIHIHIHIHIM-! GAH- MAHAXIE!! STAHAHAP!!!”

Maxie just smiled and kept up the attack. He began mocking him. “What’s the matter, Archie? Ticklish?”

“GAHAHAHA- FUHUHUCK YOU- AAAAAH!!!” He screamed when Maxie attacked his knees.

“There’s no way the leader of Team Aqua could be this ticklish.” He continued to mock.

“OKAHAHAHAY OKAHAHAHAY!! I’M SAHAHAHARRY!!! JUHUHUST STOP!!!”

Maxie decided that Archie had had enough. He released him and let him fall back on the bed, gasping for air.

Shelly walked out the door. “Now Goodnight, goofballs! Don’t make me come back in here, or you’re BOTH going to get it! The rest of us need beauty sleep! Especially me!” Then she closed the door.

Maxie leaned his head down and kissed his husband’s cheek.

“Are you alright, Archie?”

“Yeheheheheah…” He laughed, letting Maxie lay down next to him. “M’ okahahay..”

“Is it alright if we fall asleep like this?”

“Heh, whatever you want, babe..” Archie held him close. “Max?”

He looks at him. “Yes?”

“I love ye.”

“I love you too.”
