Missasinfonia, songs and QSMP…
Hello!! Well, since we all continue to miss Missa, I want to share a little thought.
I don't know if it has already been talked about here, but in the Hispanic fandom of Missa we have his songs very present and some people have not been able to avoid talking about how some of them adapt perfectly to the QSMP.
I want to talk about two in particular whose lyrics I think are perfect for describing Missa's relationship with his family.
The first one is called "Privilegios" (privileges) and I think it describe what Missa is currently going through with Philza. Well, it talks about the anxiety of feeling insufficient for the other and trying to improve but feeling afraid of moving forward (the young Missa from 2014 wrote very deep lyrics). I remember that in a stream he told us about how several of his songs came about and said that he wrote "Privilegios" thinking about us, the people who follow him, because he didn't feel enough for us and is why he always try to do things better. Either way, I think he's perfect for describe his situation with Phil.
The song:
youtube
Lyrics
Sometimes I forget my sorrows and things I should do Because ideas slip away, they do not allow us to see Well creating something new means forgetting I would like to be like before and go back to the past
I know how to write the word mature very well But my thoughts don't let me act I don't want to forget, I don't ask for your mercy Because honestly I can fix it.
Chorus I don't know what to do if you're not okay (you're okay!) I don't know whether to lie to me or throw myself at your feet I wonder if I can deserve you Because I didn't earn the privilege.
How can I destroy damn anxiety? If outside my mind is my reality It is not so easy to wish others ill. just so I can free myself
The second song I want to talk about is called "Tarde para el plan B" (Late for Plan B) and I think it could be a message from Missa to Chayanne, some of the things he mentions remind me of what Missa told him in that day of fishing before travel to Japan. He talks about how it's okay to fail and that he shouldn't be overwhelmed by his mistakes, and encourages him to keep going and get better. There is also a phrase that I like to think is very much theirs, since it infers that even if they are not together, he will always see him. Now every time I hear that song I think of them and I can't help it u.u (It's a song created 10 years ago, but I think it's fits perfectly).
The song:
youtube
Lyrics
Have you ever wondered… what could happen if after the years, you could come back to the past? Would you have the chance to see what is wrong the bad memories you would be able to erase.
Enjoy moments you didn't see coming feel from the beginning what you should feel but remorse can cut you and repenting would be the final act
Look for alternatives, see how to improve May you know how to handle your situations You don't always get a second chance. you must take advantage of what time gives you
If they give you their hand, don't take our foot don't ask for the moon when it's barely dawning You don't run when you want to calm down do something your soul can bear
[PRE CHORUS] And it's not that it's bad, it could be worse. What doesn't kill you makes you better.
And listen to me, here I will be, watching your actions wherever you are.
sometimes the reasons chase me but they don't want to catch me Sometimes actions are what will count, but you won't count. I prove that what I say is true It's your problem if you don't want to change but honestly sometimes everyone can fail
In the hope that everything is fine There are ideas within your being that grow and create the bad decision than wanting to correct what has already happened
Do what you need to make you feel better. Defeat your demons, destroy that pain Errors exist to know what someone else could fall into
and it's not that it's bad, it could be worse What doesn't kill you makes you better
listen to me, I will be here watching your actions wherever you are
My favorite phrase from this song is: "don't ask for the moon when it's barely dawning" (I just like how deep it sounds xD)
And that's all for now, I've never created a post here, I hope it's okay. Thanks for reading my crazy thoughts. Greetings!!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As the both of them waited for Yn to fetch them. Ni-ki's heart felt like it was jumping out of his chest. The woman who birthed him and the same person he had longed to hug are within arms reach and not a dream. He wondered if she would like him or not, but all of those thoughts went away when they heard a voice just a distance away calling out Jungwon. A beautiful woman came out of the car wearing a simple black dress and waved in their direction. They walked towards her, and she immediately hugged Jungwon, while Ni-ki was silently looking at the mother and son having their moment. This is when Yn noticed Ni-ki's presence and asked him to come near her. He now had a clear view of his mother, whom he only knew through a ripped picture from years ago.
 
"Hey sweetheart, are you Jungwon's friend?" she asked him, "Yes, I'm his friend. Nice to meet you Ms. Park" in which she replied, "No need to call me Ms. Park, just call me "Aunt Yn" and also does your dad know that we will be with you?" — "Yes, he's aware that i will be with you.", "Okay, thats sounds great and boys go ahead and sit on the car" and while Jungwon sat inside, Ni-ki finally had the courage to ask her for a hug, in which she immediately did as she gave him the tightest hug. He had never felt so happy to be able to see and hug his mom after all these years.

Hello ooohs! I just wanted to say that I adore your AU and just can't get enough of the change in dynamics for Rise!!
Your designs are incredible (( especially Leo's!! He is so adorable <3 )) and I get so excited each time you post!
So I have a question I want to ask: I have a huge soft spot a mile wide for Leo/Splinter family bond dynamic. I just turn to mush every time their familial bond is portrayed in comics/fanart/ and fanfiction.
Anyway! My question is: do Leo and Splinter develop a close relationship with each other later in the AU after meeting for the first time? I mean it has been shown how much of a fan boy Leo is for Splinter XD. Can your provide more insight into it and what Splinter thinks of the other three kids?
I also wanted to bring up a small error in The Cell part 3 that I noticed
For Donnie: "that's " was it supposed to be "that" ?
Tumblr media
If not then I'm sorry for nitpicking your work. I just figured I'd help but my apologies <3 I still want to stress that I adore this AU so much and in extension; platonically adore you!! Keep being the best that you can be and take care!
Love,
🌹
Thank you!
And skfskbdwlskdisj yessss I love Splinter's and Leo's dynamic you're so real for that. And yeah, out of the of the Drax Bros, Leo is the one who ends up growing the closest to Splinter, both because he's been a secret Lou Jitsu fanboy for years at this point, but also because Leo was the first to change his mind on the evil world domination plan. Leo freed Donnie from imprisonment and tried to help him stop The Foot and The Shredder in the season 1 finale, and I imagine Splinter would be quite appreciative of that.
Not to mention, after Leo technically betrayed his family (even if it was for good reasons) Leo's and Draxum's relationship is a bit tense to say the least. And we see in the show that Leo has a tendency to seek out extra father figures, so in the AU Leo would be quite enthusiastic to recieve any positive attention from Splinter.
Splinter I imagine would feel rather guilty about not being able to rescue any of the turtles aside from Donnie when he fled Draxum's lair. He'd wanted to prevent Draxum from raising them as soldiers, so in failing to do that Splinter would continue to worry about how they were doing even years after the incident. After encountering the Drax Trio again years later, he'd be relieved that they don't seem to be TOO traumatized or anything, but they ARE still child soldiers, so that's a yikes.
That being said, while Splinter would've liked to find a way to get the other turtles away from Draxum, his priorities very much lie with Donnie. Considering how powerful Draxum is, and how Big Mama would also be looking for him, Splinter couldn't risk going back to the Hidden City to try to get Donnie's brothers without risking both his own and Donnie's safety. So he decided to cut his losses and play it safe by laying low in NYC and putting as much effort as he could into only protecting Donnie. This stays the same even after Donnie runs into his brothers as a teen, Splinter feels no ill will towards the other three turtles, but they WERE raised by Draxum so he does not trust them. Leo gains his trust after helping Donnie in the season 1 finale, but it takes some more time for him to start fully trusting Raph and Mikey because he wants to be sure that they're not gonna switch back to being evil or something and try to kidnap Donnie again.
Splinter's relationship with Draxum is the same as in the show, Splinter hates Draxum, Draxum hates Splinter, and there is NO underlying homoerotic tension between the two of them WHATSOEVER!
... Anyway, with that concluded, that IS a typo goddamit. I do appreciate people pointing out spelling and grammar mistakes in the comics I make, so thanks for that. But also it's a small enough mistake that I'm probably just gonna leave it be, I'm to lazy to fix it XD

read part two.
Tumblr media
YOU’VE BEEN BETROTHED TO prince aemond targaryen since you were a child. however, you have never meet him. but you know exactly who he is: prince aemond targaryen. the one-eyed prince.
and although you have never meet the prince, you feel the need to defend him every time someone dares to speak ill about him. after all you yourself wouldn’t like people talking behind your back.
aemond targaryen is going to be your husband and, duty or not, you're going to have his back.
for the first time in your life, you're on king's landing. and ever since they announced to you that you were leaving home, you've been a nervous wreck.
you've heard stories and rumors about the targaryen siblings but you chose not to believe anything. you know how mean and awful people can be, not even their rulers are safe.
you straighten your clothes when the carriage stops, your eyes widens and your heart starts beating incredibly fast.
"all will be well, my lady." your lady-in-waiting and close friend, the only friend you have, helps you fix your hair.
you feel the urge to vomit the minute the carriage door opens and you are meet with three silver heads and the queen's serious face.
sighing, you count to seven while you descend, being very careful with your movements and where you're stepping, the last thing you want is to embarrass yourself in front of them.
"your grace," you smile, bowing before her and her children but not daring to look to her right where you know your future husband is standing.
she smiles and, forgetting all about protocol, her hands find your trembling ones.
"i am delighted that you could make it." one of her hand goes to brush a strand of hair out of your face, and ends up resting on your cheek. it makes you feel strange, no one has ever treat you with such fondness, much less someone you've only seen a couple of times. your own mother died giving birth when you were only four years old, and you have no memory of her. "may i introduce you to my children?"
your throat tightens as you turn to them, goosebumps all over your body. you bow to prince aegon, who only nods in acknowledgment, and to princess helaena who gently smiles and moves so you can fully see the reason why you're there.
the first thing you notice is his long silver hair and the leather eyepatch in the place where his missing eye should be, then your eyes travel along his sharp jawline and his great high cheekbones, lips pressed into a thin line. his stance exudes power and confidence, and you can see his muscular body hiding under his coat.
and you know you are staring too much when he clears his throat, your cheeks instantly turning red in embarrassment. the second your eyes make contact with his big violet one, you stop breathing.
he's beautiful.
and he's waiting for you to bow, so you do it, feeling too ashamed and barely bearing the idea of him thinking badly of you for your boldness.
after that everything is a blurry.
you are too exhausted after the long journey, just wanting to sleep in your new chambers and forget all about the embarrassing moment in front of prince aemond. and the queen has been thoughtful enough to send dinner up to you, hoping for you to have a good rest mostly because you have to start with all the wedding preparations.
at the mere thought of your wedding, your stomach hurts. you don't have a say in the matter, never had and never will. and it's not that you want to. you would do anything for your house and the realm, and if marrying the king's second son would help strengthen the bonds between the two families, then so be it. you wouldn't even hesitate to go into battle, if given the case. duty comes first, that's how you were raised, and you are very proud of that. even if sometimes you wish to experience a life without so many complications and responsibilities.
night passes quickly and soon you find yourself in front of the queen's chambers with sweaty hands and unsteady legs.
when the doors open you're meet with a maiden smiling shyly at you. "my lady, the queen apologizes but she will not be able to join you today," you frown, ready to turn around and leave to your chambers, but the girl stops you. "but she insists you stay and have a cup of tea." then she moves to show you a small round table, just in front of her balcony that has the most wonderful sea view.
you can't refuse and, honestly, you really don't have anywhere else to be. so you silently thank the maiden and walk to take a seat, pouring yourself some of the warm liquid, ready to enjoy a few minutes alone. and you will enjoy any minute you have alone, knowing perfectly well that there will be only a few once you get married.
"my lady, prince aemond is here." you immediately stand up, almost dropping the tea all over you.
the prince stands in front of you, his signature stance making you feel small.
"my prince," you greet him and he nods, his face showing no emotion. "i am sorry but your mother is not here."
"i know." he answers, walking around you and sitting at the small round table. "you are going to be my wife and, sadly, i know nothing about you."
you smile, taking a seat. "i could say the same thing about you, my prince."
"aemond. just aemond."
you don't dare to address him by name, you don't have that kind of relationship.
“we will have a lifetime to get to know one another,” you say, pouring some tea for him.
“forced.” he mutters, looking out the window. you wait for him to elaborate and, when he doesn’t, you understand what he is saying.
“yes, my prince. we are forced to spend a lifetime together, we are forced to a marriage we do not truly want,” there is no hurt or anger in your voice, you feel what he’s feeling too. “i am sure we would be doing a different thing if we could, but we both care about our families. and family means duty.”
you leave the cup of tea in front of him, hoping he doesn’t find you disrespectful. but when you look at him, he’s just staring back, lips parted slightly.
“i did not mean to sound rude,” he explains, his lips curling upwards. “but i am glad to know my wife knows the meaning of duty and what is expected of us.”
you blush at hearing the word ‘my wife’ coming out of his lips, hiding the nervous smile behind the cup.
“duty or not, i want us to be–” he stops, like looking for the right words, and you listen intently. “friends? i want you to know that you can count on me.” he reaches for your hand, gently placing it on top of yours, violet eye looking directly into yours. “just as i know i can count on you to defend me from those people that dare to say hurtful things.”
your eyes widen in surprise, you really didn’t think the prince would know about it. but it seems rumors fly really fast, even when you are far away from king’s landing.
“i must say,” you witness how his cheeks turn into a pretty shade of pink, a smirk that makes you feel like you could pass out just by looking at him on his face. “i felt really proud hearing all those lords and ladies talk about how my wife-to-be defended me with such courage and determination.”
“nobody should say those things about you.” your voice is soft but you have a hard expression on your face. “about anyone, really.”
“i appreciate it.” he smiles, withdrawing his hand that was still on top of yours. “there are a lot of things i want to talk with you, i… i really want to know you.” you know your face will hurt later, because of all the smiling.
you have never felt this way before, much less with someone you’ve just met. prince aemond may look scary and serious on the outside but you are sure in the inside hides someone kind and caring, the way he is speaking with you a clear proof of that.
“but i think we will have a lifetime to do that, don’t you think, my lady?” you laugh, nodding. “well, then, maybe we can start right now.” he stands up, startling you, and holds his hand out for you to take it. “do you trust me?”
do you trust him?

Hello! If you aren't busy could you try writing about an mc that looks identical to Lilith and maybe even has a similar name example: lily, Lillian etc. (If you can maybe mc that has a similar personality with lilith) And Ofc its platonic. (sorry if you don't understand this is my first time requesting on tumblr(⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠;⁠)
Wassuppp I'm back on the roll even though my internet is still not fixed.
And hey Anon! I hope you don't mind small angst :')
--------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
The demon brothers reaction to an MC that looks and acts like Lilith
Warnings: Implied suicide, toxic behavior, slight horror, Lilian is used as your other name, Lilian uses she and her pronouns, no proofreading, grammar errors, spelling errors
Parts: One, Two
Links: Masterlist
--------------------------------------------------
It has been complete year ever since that human exchange student, MC, arrived and it has been three months after that same human died.
The government released a statement saying that the human suffered a heart attack and died but the note that human left says the other way around
"You all are the worst beings I've ever met... No wonder you all are demons and I'll say it again IF YOU ALL WILL NOT ADJUST, IF YOU ALL WILL STAY THE WAY YOU ARE AND REFUSE TO COOPERATE OR EVEN CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE THEN THIS PROGRAM HAVE NO WAY OF SUCCEEDING!"
Maybe the student did die because of a heart attack... But maybe, just maybe, it's because the students heart aches so much not because of the illness but because of the disease like beings around them.
Them ignoring you on the daily basis and even refusing to give you food that will actually help you get nutrients.
Them comparing you to their dead sister saying, there will be no way you can replace her.
Remembering all the things they did...
"I swear it upon my name... I WILL COME BACK AND BRING EVERYTHING YOU BUILD UP FOR YEARS DOWN AND CAUSE YOUR DEMISE!"
They got scared...
Because maybe the hatred of a human is indeed enough to warp the time...
And enough to bring everyone that treated them wrong on their knees...
Begging for forgiveness.
LUCIFER
Finally
Months after that incident
A worthy exchange student!
Yeah, he hasn't seen this new exchange student yet
So what?
The fact that Lilian look exactly like her is enough affirmation that she'll be a good candidate
And when she arrive...
She look exactly like her...
She act exactly like her!
It's like Lilian brought his sister back to life
He truly is glad to have her in this program...
But whenever she smile...
It's like...
Someone else's figure appear behind her...
A figure
A figure similar to yours...
MAMMON
He must admit that your death bothered him a little
But seeing the new exchange student...
It's like all of his problems dissappeared
The moment he saw Lilian, actually, he ran up to her and hugged her.
But there's something wrong...
This Lilian smells familiar...
This Lilian smells metallic...
Like how your room is like the night they found your dead body.
LEVIATHAN
He doesn't care about you at all
You're just so annoying and you like getting yourself involved in someone else's business
But this exchange student is different!
This exchange student...
This exchange student is his sister...
When Lilian touched his back to comfort him after he broke down and cried after he saw this new exchange student.
He felt something is wrong
Like Lilian's touch is similar to someone else...
Similar to... MC..?
SATAN
So that's how Lilith looked like...
He doesn't know what to feel
Something inside him loved to have Lilian around but he's sure it's just because a part of Lucifer's emotion is inside him
But the way Lilian smirk whenever the others left after complementing her is different
Saying Lilian look like, act like, sound like their sister
If he was in Lilian's place he would have lost his mind
But Lilian...
Lilian seems to like it..?
No,
Lilian despised it because they like it.
ASMODEUS
He doesn't care about your death at all.
Why should he?
The fact that he, someone who can be friends with anyone, hates you just proves that you really is despisable
But now Lilian is here!
Why should he pay attention to that weird feeling in his chest after you died?!
The feeling of guilt... Why should he care about it..?
Waaa! This Lilian is like Lilith..!
So fragile...
So lovable...
So much like... MC...
BEELZEBUB
He doesn't care about you but that doesn't mean he needs to disrespect you
After you died
His rose is the only thing left for your grave
It seems that your death brought something better though... So he can't just help it...
He just can't help but be grateful that you died...
It's like the world brought you, the problem, in this world to see if they can handle it
And when they surpassed it they got the reward, Lilian.
But he feels uncomfortable somehow...
When you cooks he feel full...
But when she cooks he feels... You?
BELPHEGOR
He laughed
He laughed when you died
He laughed when you got buried
And he doesn't feel bad at all
And now she's here?
He's thinking like his twin
He thinks that you're just the antagonist in this story that when you die the reward comes
. . .
Why is Lilian acting like this..?
Why is Lilian acting like you..?
Could it be...

Kaltxi sa'nu, sempul : Hello mother, father
'itetsyìp : a name for daughter
Mawey: calm down
Irayo: thank you, thanks
Fnu: be quiet
I see you | Chapter One
Tumblr media
As (Y/N) grew up she could tell something was wrong with her father, Every week it seemed that he had gotten weaker and weaker.
It had gotten so bad he eventually was on permanent bed rest having to be cared for by her mother at all times.
Having such a close bond with her parents she never left their side unless she had to run an errand for her mother.
Through the years of being by her mother's side and the frequent healers that could come and help, she began to study and learn from them
Taking mental notes and practicing in her own time she learned what things mixed with what, and what you should and shouldn’t use.
It was the only thing that kept the little girl's mind off of the terrible situation.
As time continued to pass, on (Y/N)’s 12th birthday just when it had seemed like everything was getting better and her father had seemed like he was healing just fine
It seemed to immediately shoot back down and he had fallen ill once again now even worse.
His body turned immune to the medicine that he was given.
The girl's mother was deeply frustrated and in pain from seeing her mate in this state.
Her mother began to shut down, hardly talking to anyone and never leaving her mate's side. Focused on one thing which was taking care of her mate, making sure he was getting the help he needed.
When (Y/N) tried talking with her mother she would only reply in short responses. It hurt the poor girl, she now finds herself wishing she had a mother again.
Soon enough the healers decide to talk your mom into traveling to the nearby village where they had more healers and the Tsahik that was able to see what was exactly going on.
It did not take long for your mother to decide on an answer and immediately began packing up bags. (Y/N) could not complain and only helped her mom pack.
Traveling to the village took about a day and by the time the family arrived in Awa’atlu, it was night.
The only light sources were the torches that were scattered around the Marui huts, the bioluminescent plants in the water, and the bright stars that were shining above.
(Y/N) was swimming on an ilu next to her mother who was on her skimwing with your father laid in front of her.
When they had come into the village's view, a loud horn reached their ears announcing their arrival as they continued to move closer.
Finally, they reached the land and immediately her father was carried away by some men, which (Y/N) would assume they were taking him to the healing hut. Her mother quickly followed shortly leaving (Y/N) all by herself.
The little girl stood there unsure of what to do, her mother and father were out of view so there was no way she would be able to find them without getting lost, this village was much bigger than her previous one.
Tears begin to cloud over her eyes piling up, threatening to spill down her aqua cheeks.
This whole journey she tried to put a strong face for her mother and father, she knew they were already dealing with a lot and didn’t want to worry them.
But once her parents were out of sight, that wall that she so bravely built up slowly began to break down.
Tears were now sliding down her face as they dropped into the sand below.
A gentle hand was laid on her shoulder. (Y/N) looked up and with her blurry view she could make out a woman in front of her slowly crouching down.
The woman’s hands move from the girl's shoulder to caressing her cheeks, using her thumbs to wipe the tears that slipped out.
“Hello my child, please do not be sad. Your father is in good care now.” The woman’s words reassured (Y/N). “I am the Tsahik, may I know your name sweetheart?” Ronal asked the small child in a soft voice, afraid of startling her.
“(Y/N)... (Y/N) te Ftxey Aman’ite, Tsahik” She replies shyly with quiet sniffles, using the back of her hand to wipe the tears away from her eyes.
“(Y/N), You have a beautiful name..Let's grab your bags and I will walk you to new Marui. It’ll be close to the healing hut so you can see your parents then.
Ronal smiled and stood up grabbing the bags that were sitting in the sand. Ronal swung some of the bags over her shoulder and then looked back at (Y/N) who was doing the same actions.
Ronal reaches her hand out to the little girl, (Y/N) hesitated at first, I mean after all this was a stranger, but then grabbed the Tsahik’s hand, and they began to walk further from the water and into the village.
“You will like it here, I promise”
Tumblr media
"Ngaytxoa Tsahìk!" You said to the older woman once you had arrived in the healing pod where there stayed your father along with some other injured and sick members that the healers were helping with.
On the way to the pod one of the aunties had asked you for help with carrying a basket of dried kelp for weaving and it took a little longer than you thought.
"It's alright (Y/N), as long as you're here now. I have a list of herbs I need you to collect for me really quick and then we began the lessons" Ronal said as she was finishing wrapping a younger boys arm then proceeds to grab a list off the table handing it out to you.
"Of course, I will be back shortly!" You say smiling, grabbing the list before leaving the pod.
You began to walk down the paths to collect herbs from where ever they stay. Some were different fruit and roots where you had to scavenge for and others were stuff you could get from different farmers around the island.
Once you finished you waved bye to the farmers with your filled basket you had been carrying, having all the herbs from Ronal's list in it, making your way back to the Tsahìk.
On your way back you stop for a second as you watched some of the Metkayina girls the same age hanging out together, some were braiding each others hair while others were talking probably gossiping about the newest drama that had rumored around the village.
You let out a sigh with a small frown.
You wanted to make friends but it was as if they avoided you like you were the plague.
You hung out with Tsireya a couple times but her other friends always pulled her away from you or Tsireya was busy taking her own lessons from her mother so you guys never had an actual hang out without someone coming to interrupt.
Shrugging off the sad feeling that began to rise, you begin to continue your way back.
As you were about to walk in the pod you accidentally runs into someone almost falling back at the impact.
Catching yourself, you stands straight and looks at the person you ran into about to apologize before your eyes widen as you realizes who it was.
It was one of the girls who Tsireya was always hanging out with.
"Ngaytxoa.. I didn't see you there." You say say embarrassed and looks down as if the ground was the most fascinating thing.
The girl could only scoff in annoyance and roll her eyes not bothering to pay attention to you before walking off muttering some words that you just barley heard purposely hitting your shoulder with hers.
"nari si skxawng"
You could only brush it off and continue to walk inside.
"Tsahìk I'm back! I have all the stuff you asked for." You announced as you pushes past the door to the table about to set down the basket.
"za'u (Y/N), with the basket" Ronal motioned as she was sat down on a mat with Mortar and pestle in front of her along with some water.
Turning back around you follow the orders and sets the basket down by the Tsahìk before sitting in front of her.
"Let's get to work shall we?" You could only nod her head and with that Ronal began to teach you.
Tumblr media
"Alright, thats enough for today. Did you understand everything?" The older woman asked while standing up with the new paste you both had just made in a bowl
"Yes, thank you for teaching me" you say responding before helping Ronal clean up.
"Do you want me to walk with you back to your Marui?"
"No, I'm gonna stay here for a little bit. Thank you." And with that Ronal nodded as her eyes softened with her smile faltering before leaving the healing pod back her to own Marui.
You let out a weary sigh before walking to the back of the pod to a more secluded area where he father stayed.
"Kaltxi sa'nu, sempul" You greet your parents knowing you wouldn't get a response back, only a small nod of acknowledgment from your mother who had her back towards you while laying a new cloth on your fathers forehead.
"how is he doing?" You crouch down next to your mother sitting on your knees as you observe.
After a long pause of quietness, your mother finally spoke up looking at her daughter.
"he's getting better now, thanks to you and the Tsahìks help" Aman (her mothers name) spoke to her daughter as she reaches forward and brushes a stray hair behind your ear before caressing your cheek.
You could only lean into your mothers touch.
Aman had gotten better at talking to her daughter again after the Tsahìk had scolded her for not paying attention, neglecting, her own child. She needs a reality check.
"It's getting late, you should head back to our Marui" Aman spoke to you bringing back her hand before checking on her mate once again.
"Will you be coming back with me this time? You asked with hope in your eyes that her mother would finally come home for once but once yoy looked at your mothers face with a sadden expression, you knew it wasn't going to happen.
"I'm sorry 'itetsyìp. Not tonight.."
You say nothing and nod. You got up and gave your parents both a quick peck on the cheek before leaving making your way back to your family's Marui.
You could feel tears fill your eyes but you refused to let them fall wiping them with the back of your hand letting out a shaky sigh.
Before you reached the Marui a hand landed on your shoulder startling you causing you to jump letting out a quiet yet loud shriek.
"Woah, mawey (Y/N)!" A familiar female voice said as you turned around to see Tsireya.
"Sorry for startling you, my mother asked me to grab you to have dinner with us! My father and Ao'nung had caught some extra fish and we can't eat it all~ come on" Tsireya said while grabbing your arm locking it with hers not waiting for an answer before pulling you in the direction of their Marui pod.
The two girls reach the pod and Tsireya walks in holding the door open for (Y/N) to walk in.
You mutters a quiet thank you giving the girl a smile before greeting everyone that was now sitting down getting ready to eat.
"Irayo Tsahìk, Olo'eyktan for having me over."
"No worries (Y/N) come in sit down next to Ao'nung" Ronal says smiling before telling Ao'nung to scoot over to make more room to which he only rolled his eyes before moving.
You sit down and everyone began to eat while the family made small talk with eachother while you just stayed quiet listening, only talking if they asked for an opinion or a question.
While eating you swear you could feel a burning gaze watching you, when you lifted your head and turn you meet Ao'nung's eyes staying back into yours.
Waiting for his eyes to pull away he never did and continued to stare, with what look in his eye? You couldn't exactly tell but you swore there was an extra sparkle.
Finally getting the hint he wasn't going to back down you quickly look away with blush creeping on your cheeks and continue to eat.
"(Y/N) have you been making any friends, you know the girls that Tsireya hangs out with?" Ronal asks looking at her causing all of them to go quiet and listen.
"Uh...well..not exactly...I guess they are always busy when I try and hang out with them.." you says now playing with your food in awkwardness.
"What? Tsireya I thought I told you to take in (Y/N) and make sure she was not being left out" Ronal questions her daughter in disappointment.
"Well...Ngaytxoa sa'nu...I thought they were hanging out with (Y/N). Ngaytxoa (Y/N)" Tsireya frowns upset that her friends weren't being nice to you.
"It's alright, I don't really need to hang out with them anyways I'm good with just hanging around with you Tsahìk" you could only smile reassuring the family theses no need to worry.
"Nonsense! (Y/N) you are still a kid. As much as I like having your company You need to go hang out with people your own age sometimes." Ronal replies to you.
"Why don't you hang out with Ao'nung and Rotxo! Rotxo is a good boy. Very respectful and I'm sure Ao'nung would be happy to have you hang out with him, right Ao'nung?!" Tonowari speaks up looking at Ao'nung.
Ao'nung's mouth is open astonished that his father even suggested that. "What? Why does she have to-"
Before he could finish his sentence his mother interrupts him with a harsh glare making him immediately shut up.
"Right Ao'nung?" Ronal says smiling yet still glaring at the poor boy who could only nervously avoid his mothers fiery gaze.
"Yes. She can hang out with us tomorrow..." he grumbles out shoving the last bit of food in his mouth no longer paying attention to the conversation that was going on.
"See (Y/N) there you go, You have some people to hang out with." You could only smile with a nod before going back to eating.
A little bit later everyone was finally done eating you began to help Tsireya clean up the plates.
"(Y/N) you don't have to help Tsireya. Ao'nung will walk you to your Marui" Tonowari told you with a hand on your shoulder grabbing the dishes that were in her hands.
"Oh no it's alright-" (Y/N) began to speak but was cut off with Ronal shaking her head telling you no before pushing you toward the door where Ao'nung stood muttering words under his breath that you couldn't make out.
"Okay then...goodnight, thank you for having me over for dinner" You smiled waving bye to them as you exits the Marui with Ao'nung following behind.
You and Ao'nung walk to your Marui in silence.
While you were in your own world thinking to yourself , you didn't notice a certain boys eyes on you.
Ao'nung couldn't help it, He found the Metkayina girl beautiful. But the boys ego was too high for him to talk to you and confess his attraction.
He could only play it off with being annoyed. I mean it sorta annoyed him. He never had a full conversation or even looked at you straight in the eyes..So why was he attracted to you so much. It made him frustrated.
He remembered the first time seeing you was when he got in an argument with another Metkayina boy that resulted in flying fist and so there he sat with a bloody lip and a cut on his cheek.
And out of all the healers he gotten (Y/N) to patch him up. The whole time she was making the paste she never said a word and he was thankful because the last thing he needed was another person asking what happened.
When it came to the girl applying the paste all he could think about was how her soft hands gently applied it to his cheek muttering apologies as he hissed from the sting.
But if he was being honest the butterflies in his stomach distracted him more.
He didn't realize until she was done that he had been admiring her face. Staring mostly at her darker aqua marking that were scattered framing your face, and the bioluminescent freckles sprinkled all over. How her hair was done in traditional Metkayina style (picture whatever you like) and it complemented her well.
Ao'nung snaps out of his thoughts and comes to a halt as you both stand in front of your empty Marui.
"Thank you, I'm sorry for causing you trouble.. I can just say that I'm busy tomorrow so I don't have to hang out with you" You say thanking him as you shyly stare at the ground.
While Ao'nung wanted to tell you 'no don't be! I actually want to hang out with you and get to know you' before he could think, all that came out was a
"Fnu" Ao'nung shouted and it came out a lot harsher than he meant. His eyes slightly widen with his ears lowering in embarrassment.
It made you jump a little taken back from how harsh his words came at you.
"Ngaytxoa. I'll see you tomorrow." Ao'nung said, this time in a softer voice. And with that he quickly walked away back to his Marui pod and you enter yours.
Yet another sigh of disappointment left your lips as you rub your face in frustration.
'Alone once again..'

Summer's Finale
Carlo x Reader
The reason I deleted the previous post because I found so many spelling errors in it(like, Carlo became Calro or Caro; stalker become Hunter or something). Damn the translator.
Tumblr media
Every summer, your parents would send you to your grandparents' house up in the mountains during the school break. Their reasoning was that the air up there was cleaner than in the city, and breathing in some fresh air would be beneficial for your health.
You were always frail and prone to illness since childhood. It seemed like you were either catching one illness or another throughout the year. Your parents had to take care of you while managing their work responsibilities, so summer vacation was an opportunity for them to take a breather by leaving you in the care of others. At least, that's how you perceived it.
You didn't dislike living in the mountains. Every morning, you would venture into the forest, playing and making friends with small animals and flowers. Sometimes you would go fishing with your grandfather. When you got tired, you would return home and relish the delectable dishes prepared by your grandmother. In the evening, you would sit on the backyard swing with your grandfather, gazing up at the vast expanse of the starry night sky. The stars were so big and bright there, a sight that couldn't be compared to anything you could see in the city. Your grandfather would point out constellations and share their stories with you.
Although your days in the mountains were joyful, you missed your father and mother who lived in the city. And now, you longed for your grandparents who resided in the heavens.
You didn't attend your grandparents' funeral back then because you didn't like shedding tears in front of others. You believed it would only make your grandfather and grandmother sad to see you cry.
Since your grandparents' passing, you never returned to the mountains.
You don't know when it started, but the house became so quiet, eerily quiet.
One evening, your parents sat at opposite ends of the couch, resembling two books, without much interaction. Just a while ago, as long as the door between the kitchen and the living room was left open, you would hear laughter. Sometimes your father would crack jokes, making you burst into laughter, and even your mother would smile. You didn't always grasp the jokes, but because everyone was laughing, you laughed along.
But somehow, your parents gradually reduced the frequency of their conversations, and sometimes they wouldn't even glance at each other. You tried to continue being the book and engage them in trivial chatter, but it felt cold. Coldness emanated from both ends of the couch, and your defrosting mechanisms couldn't handle it. You had to leave because that coldness would freeze your cheeks, causing tears to well up in your eyes.
A few months ago, you tried once: "Would you like to hear a joke I heard at school today?"
Your parents remained silent.
Your father was reading the article in his hands. He glanced at his daughter, his expression somewhat surprised, then lowered his head and continued reading.
The article he was reading was about a mysterious stone called "Ergo," with complex content that you couldn't comprehend. Your father was a member of the Alchemist Guild, busy with work and shrouded in mystery. He never told you what his work exactly entailed, nor did he allow you to enter his study.
Meanwhile, your mother didn't even lift her head, her eyes fixed on the sheet music, occasionally making amendments. Your mother was a musical composer, currently putting all her efforts into her comeback piece (she had given up her work previously to care for you when you were young).
"Why don't skeletons fight?" you decided to stick to the plan.
"Why?" Your father casually replied, flipping through the article.
"My dear, what did you just say?" your mother asked. She had just written what she believed to be her best lyrics yet.
For some unknown reason, you sat there motionless, drenched in sweat yet shivering with cold, a chilling sensation that penetrated to your very core. In the end, you had no choice but to escape from your distant parents and seek solace in your own room. There, you lay on your bed, burying your head in the pillow, weeping. From that moment on, you often closed the door, retreating into your own world.
Your father had a demanding job that frequently took him away on business trips to distant places, sometimes for an entire month. The last time he returned from an overseas trip, he brought you a cute little cat. You named him "Spring" because he arrived in your home during the springtime.
At that time, Spring had just turned one month old. He was merely the size of a palm, with sparse orange fur that made him resemble a little old man. But his eyes were large and round, with a small nose and soft, tender pads on his tiny paws. You loved squeezing them.
Spring was fierce towards others; if someone reached out to touch him, he would hiss, warning them that if they dared to touch him, he would not hesitate to sink his sharp fangs into their hands. However, Spring showed no aversion to your touch. Every time you approached him, he wagged his tail happily, greeting you. He intentionally rubbed against your hand, indicating his desire to be petted. And when you stroked him, he emitted a contented purr, as if thoroughly enjoying the moment.
Sometimes, he would jump onto the windowsill and gaze outside, lost in thought. Observing his increasingly mature figure, you couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. You thought to yourself, if you were taken away from your mother at birth, you would also feel heartbroken.
You loved Spring, and you loved your father for giving him to you. You believed that your father loved you too, but he didn't understand you, and you realized you didn't understand him either.
Although you had some friends at school, you still felt an indescribable loneliness. It wasn't the absence of people around you, but rather the absence of someone with whom you could share the depths of your innermost feelings.
Loneliness is like an unfathomable abyss, without end, without a destination, only darkness and emptiness. You stand alone at the edge of this abyss, gazing into its bottomless darkness, feeling as if you are plummeting into it, unable to escape. Loneliness is your deepest fear because you are alone in the midst of a crowd, and there is nothing more terrifying than that.
In school, it is inevitable to encounter troubles at times, but you never speak up about them. You portray yourself as cool on the surface, but deep inside, you are fragile. Sometimes, you also want to show vulnerability, to seek comfort, and to cry in your mother's embrace, pouring out the injustices you have faced. However, your self-esteem prevents you from doing so. At times, you also wonder when and how you became so awkward.
But home is not always peaceful either. Sometimes, your parents argue fiercely, unabashedly expressing their hatred for each other through their words. During those times, you would hide in your room with Spring, covering your head with a pillow, as if it could shield you from the unbearable insults.
At the beginning of the new semester, your parents, who care for you flawlessly, send you to a boarding school. There is another boy who transfers alongside you. He has curly black hair, chestnut-colored eyes, and a few freckles on his fair face. When introducing himself, he only mentions his name and refuses to say another word.
He is reserved and never initiates conversations. Classmates perceive him as peculiar, and they all find it difficult to accept him, but you, on the other hand, don't mind. Sometimes, you also dislike talking. Even after a long time since the start of the school year, he remains solitary, often seen nestled in the music room, playing the piano alone, completely immersed in his own world. When it rains, he doesn't use an umbrella, yet he never falls ill. You envy him for that.
Perhaps there is some hidden force at work, as you always seem to encounter him here and there. When you meet each other's gaze, you see familiarity in the eyes of this boy named Carlo—a familiar loneliness that you also see reflected in your own eyes when you look in the mirror. Yet, when you pass by each other, you always want to say something to him, but the words fail to escape your lips. So, you lower your head, avoiding his sorrowful eyes, pretending not to have noticed him.
Lonely individuals stand out too prominently in a crowd, attracting some unscrupulous individuals. One day, you witness a group of senior students bullying him. Without a second thought, you courageously step forward to confront those individuals. However, relying solely on your and Carlo's strength, you are no match for the powerful and imposing senior students. You both end up being at a disadvantage until another boy comes to your aid. Only with his help do you manage to defeat those students, although the three of you sustain injuries. But you believe that after this incident, no one will dare to bully him again.
The helpful boy who introduced himself as Romeo had a ghostly mane of golden hair and fair skin, resembling a prince straight out of a fairy tale. He carried himself with grace and elegance, and his voice was gentle and soothing. However, he was the most valiant among the three of you. In the recent altercation, he single-handedly defeated a senior student.
"Why did you help me?" the boy asked in the infirmary, his eyes fixed on the bandaged hand.
After contemplating for a moment, you replied calmly, "There isn't any specific reason. I simply detest injustice and unfairness."
"Same here," Romeo said. "How could I stand idly by when I see someone being bullied?"
Carlo remained silent for a while, then spoke up, "Why did you come to Monad Charity House?"
Romeo shrugged indifferently and replied, "I'm an orphan. I was sent here a long time ago."
You couldn't bring yourself to reveal the truth as candidly as Romeo did, so you spoke in a low voice, "My parents didn't have time to take care of me, so they dumped me here."
"Me too," Carlo chuckled self-mockingly, but there was a tinge of sadness in his tone. "My father is a puppet maker, and he invests more energy in his puppets than in me. Sometimes I wonder what my purpose of existence truly is. Why didn't he just make a puppet son instead?"
"Perhaps we are all just accidents," you muttered.
Instead of feeling offended by your words, Carlo burst into laughter. His hearty laughter infected both you and Romeo, and you couldn't help but laugh together until the nurse warned you, and the three of you stopped.
From that day on, the three of you became inseparable friends. Despite the whispers and gossip of your classmates, you paid no mind because you had each other's company.
The pressure of schoolwork often made you yearn for an escape, but you didn't know where to go.
"Learning all these things that I won't need in the future will rot my brain," Carlo complained. "I want to be a stalker, not an alchemist. Why do I have to study all this unnecessary stuff?"
"If you want to be a stalker, you still have to graduate from here. But right now, you can't even pass a simple quiz. You better just dream about it," Romeo taunted.
"That's my dream, alright. Can't I have dreams?" Carlo retorted with annoyance. "What about you? What's your dream? What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Romeo rested his chin on his hand and lightly tapped his lips with his index finger. "I also want to be a stalker."
Carlo narrowed his eyes. "How despicable! You're copying me."
Romeo rolled his eyes. "No, I did not. Don't make things up."
"Alright then. Y/n, what about you? What's your dream?" Carlo turned his head towards you, who had been diligently working on your math homework.
"Huh? Well..." Caught off guard by the question about your own dream, you couldn't answer immediately. After pondering for a while, you finally spoke up, "I want to be an alchemist."
Carlo and Romeo exchanged glances at each other, then turned their gaze back to you without uttering a word, just staring at you.
Unaccustomed to being the center of attention, you felt somewhat uneasy. So, you asked them, "What's going on? Why aren't you saying anything?"
They continued to silently stare at you for a while longer. Carlo was the first to break the silence, sighing before saying, "Ah, what a bore."
Romeo followed suit, sighing as well. "I thought your dreams would be more grand, like becoming a stalker."
"If word of that gets out, it wouldn't surprise me if you end up dead in the streets one day," you calmly retorted to Romeo. "And what's not great about being an alchemist? Sofia's father is an alchemist. He discovered the Ergo and supports this charity house. I think he's quite remarkable."
Carlo shook his head. "Alchemists are a bunch of hypocrites, driven solely by greed. Of course, I'm not targeting Sofia's father specifically, but all alchemists in general."
"Ah, typical Carlo! Saying things I dare not say," Romeo laughed.
"If alchemists are truly as you describe, then I'll be a breath of fresh air in the alchemy world," you half-jokingly, half-seriously said. Then, with long eyelashes lowered, you spoke in a detached tone, "I want to find a cure for petrification disease. Both my grandparents died from it."
You lowered your head, reminiscing about your departed loved ones, and a hint of bitterness welled up in your heart.
Carlo paused, no longer using sharp words to challenge you. He placed his hand on your shoulder and smiled faintly, saying, "Then I'll become your stalker, protecting you."
Romeo exaggeratedly shivered and rubbed his arms, saying, "Ugh, you're so cheesy, Carlo."
"Shut up," Carlo blushed, avoiding Romeo's gaze. However, his actions only made Romeo more eager to tease him.
Romeo leaned closer to Carlo, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Could it be... you have feelings for Y/n?"
"Uh—!" Carlo let out a sudden, awkward yelp, perhaps realizing his own indiscretion. He pretended to cough a few times to cover up his embarrassment and stammered, "Wh-who, who likes her? I'm just protecting her out of knightly spirit!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Romeo raised an eyebrow, looking at Carlo skeptically.
Romeo snorted. "I see. Well, just don't spout nonsense! I'm leaving!" With that, he picked up his assignment and quickly turned to leave the library.
Romeo turned to look at you, and you could only shrug helplessly.
"What about you? What kind of feelings do you have for Carlo?" he suddenly asked.
Caught off guard by the question, you hesitated for a moment before stammering, "I-I feel... what I feel towards Carlo..."
Deep down, you had always admired Carlo's talents and character, but you wondered if you had developed romantic feelings for him, the kind commonly referred to as love. You weren't entirely sure yourself. Although you couldn't be certain, you had similar emotions in your heart.
"I don't know either," you softly replied to Romeo.
Besides studying and doing assignments together, the three of you often wandered aimlessly, doing nothing in particular. Even though you didn't do much, you felt content because the feeling of companionship was wonderful.
Through your interactions with Carlo, you gradually understood why he enjoyed being in the rain. Standing there, allowing the pouring rain to drench you, there was a indescribable feeling. Under the relentless downpour, all worries were washed away, leaving only a pure sense of connection with nature.
When you were completely soaked by the rain, with your clothes sticking to your body and your hair softly clinging to your face, an unprecedented sense of liberation would envelop you. In that moment, you felt so light, as if all burdens had been washed away along with the rain.
Perhaps that was why Carlo was so fascinated by the feeling of rain. Only through the powerful impact of heavy rain could you both escape from the mundane world, briefly forgetting the realities that couldn't be avoided in daily life. Even if it was only for a short while, this experience of freedom far surpassed the ordinary.
Just that alone was enough to fill the emptiness and monotony in your heart. And perhaps, it was because of this that Carlo allowed himself to be engulfed by the rain time and time again.
Even though you would catch a cold after getting drenched in the rain, you had no regrets.
When the mid-semester arrived, your parents separated.
From that day on, you felt exhausted, unable to muster any energy to do anything. Whenever you thought about the fact that your parents no longer loved each other, an inexplicable sense of suffocation welled up in your heart.
If possible, you just wanted to sleep forever, to escape the weight and pain that burdened you.
Perhaps you could never regain your composure. You despised yourself for being so lifeless, yet you couldn't summon the strength to change that. You didn't know how to deal with these emotions, so you allowed yourself to drift along, at the mercy of the tides. You thought, if you couldn't rise above, why not sink beneath?
You spent quite a long time in this state of despondency until Carlo and Romeo uttered those words to you.
"Let's leave this place together!"
On that midsummer night, the three of you packed your bags and secretly escaped from the Monard Refuge. You traveled by train, a farmer's truck, and walked along mountain roads for a long time until you reached your grandparents' ancestral home. Apart from a bit more dust and the absence of two adorable old people, the interior remained unchanged, as if time had ceased to flow here, and your grandparents were just out for a walk, about to return any moment.
Carlo discovered grandfather's piano and began pressing a few keys, transforming the fragmented notes into a beautiful melody. Inspired, you picked up grandmother's violin and accompanied Carlo's tune with your fingertips and the bow.
The piano's unrestrained melody flowed like a free-spirited river, while the violin's delicate and melodious notes sailed alongside, like a small boat adrift. They journeyed side by side, chasing and evading each other, intertwining and leaning on one another, yet leaving enough space for the other to shine, completing a graceful composition.
As the piece concluded, Romeo sitting nearby applauded and handed you a bunch of freshly picked bluebells. You closed your eyes and smelled the flowers, but all you could detect was a faint scent of rust.
"Strange, why does it smell like blood?" an indescribable unease arose within you.
You opened your eyes again and noticed that the blue petals were covered in dark red streaks. Panicked, you lowered your head and discovered that the back of the hand holding the flowers was already stained with fresh blood.
Only then did you realize that the tingling sensation deep in your nasal cavity was due to your own nosebleed. You tried to wipe it away with the back of your hand, but the blood continued to flow incessantly, staining the entire bluebell. Startled, your hand loosened its grip, and the blood-soaked flower slipped from your palm and fell to the ground.
"Are you alright, Y/n?" Carlo looked at you with concern, his brown eyes filled with worry.
"I'm fine," you managed a weak smile, attempting to reassure him.
"Sit down for now, I'll go get a towel for you," Romeo said and walked away.
"Are you really okay?" Carlo asked, his expression still filled with doubt.
"Don't see me as so fragile. It's just a nosebleed," you said with a smile, trying to ease his concerns.
Carlo nodded, although he didn't seem entirely convinced.
When night fell, you wandered through the serene forest. At the end of the forest lay a beautiful lake. In the past, you often went fishing with your grandfather in a small boat.
In the stillness of the night, the lake appeared pitch black, adorned with stars that resembled scattered golden dust. The radiant moon hung high in the sky, its reflection resembling a jade disc sinking into the water. You paddled the small boat to the center of the lake and lay down, gazing up at the starry canopy. In the profound darkness, the starlight shimmered like a vast sea, captivating and captivating the imagination. No words were spoken, as you immersed yourselves in this mystical and enchanting starry night.
You wished time could freeze in this moment.
After this brief journey, you fell seriously ill, even more so than before. Throughout the day, you were only awake for one or two hours, spending the rest of the time in a semi-conscious state.
The dreams concocted by your feverish mind were terrifying and distorted. You dreamed of endlessly falling into an abyss of darkness, much like the protagonist of that well-known tale who fell down a rabbit hole in pursuit of a rabbit. However, she arrived in an incomprehensible realm after landing, encountering a group of peculiar individuals, while you simply continued to descend endlessly.
You struggled to grasp onto something, but found nothing around you. Your descent resembled a runaway roller coaster, with suffocating fear filling your chest. Finally, you woke up, drenched in sweat, gasping for breath.
At that moment, a small hand reached out immediately. You strained to open your heavy eyelids and saw a seated figure in blue, albeit blurred.
Your lips curled slightly upwards as you spoke with your frail, broken voice, "Oh, Carlo... I fell."
"Hey, but I caught you." Carlo said with a smile. "Would you like some water?"
"No, drinking water makes me nauseous now. How long have you been here?"
"I came right after school. I begged the principal for a long time to let me come see you."
You remained silent. Speaking was a laborious and unbearable task for you. So, you simply held onto Carlo's hand. But as you gazed at him, your face slightly lifted, you noticed a glimmer in his clear, wide eyes. You couldn't help but ask, "Did you cry?"
"No," Carlo denied vehemently.
"I saw your tears."
"It's just... some sand got in my eyes."
His actions only confirmed your suspicion. Thus, you said, "Did you think I was going to die, so you-"
"No, it's not like that," Carlo softly interrupted. "It's just that seeing you in so much pain made my heart ache. I was upset with myself because I couldn't take away your suffering or become you to bear it for you. And then, tears fell without me even realizing it. But I'm not crying."
"You fool."
Carlo looked up, his face filled with astonishment.
"You don't need to blame yourself at all." you said. "Even if you could become me, I wouldn't want you to endure this pain. I'm already grateful that you can be here with me."
Carlo didn't say anything, and neither did you. Words turned into a clear pool of water, with one teardrop after another gently sliding down from your eyes. And then, nothing remained.
※※※
As the summer drew to a close, she vanished.
It was a few hours before her passing when Carlo last spoke to her.
At her request, he wheeled her wheelchair and took her to the garden outside the hospital.
"The weather is lovely today," she said, gazing at the sky, her face slowly breaking into a gentle smile. "But I truly wish I could take another walk in the rain with you and Romeo."
Carlo listened perplexed, unsure why she was saying such things.
"There will be a chance, so you must live well," he replied.
She silently gazed into his eyes. "I'm sorry... but I am happy because I had the chance to know you all, and I truly like you all. I really like you. Become an extraordinary stalker, Carlo."
She smiled faintly, no longer saying anything more, and Carlo felt that he had been waiting a long time for these words.
Then they fell silent, just quietly observing the scenery.
Suddenly, the view before them became radiant. Thin clouds in the sky parted, allowing sunlight to pour over the earth, and the green grass and trees stood tall as if blessing the world.
This conversation became their final exchange. A few hours later, she passed away.
At the beginning of September, during a rainy autumn funeral, Carlo once again played the song they had performed together on the mountain during the summer, but this time without the accompaniment of the violin.
The melodies of summer, long gone, soared through the autumn, seeking their old fortress.

Random mammon headcannon i want to share
He gets bad nightmares about you dying so sometimes he wakes up in a cold sweat and crying. He normally cleans himself up as he sprints to your room in the middle of the night, needing to know if your ok.
Once he sees you sleeping and alive, he fixes your blanket and sits by your bed, resting his head on the bed as he stares at you. he eventually falls asleep looking at you, you have found mammon sleeping next to your bed multiple times but you he never tells you the real reason he was there
@ezracorner1
First off, I'm sorry. Honestly, I'm still figuring out how Tumblr works and realized late how to see Asks, and then I took my time to respond to you. I hope you can forgive me. I'm on my 20s, but I act like an old woman, apparently. Lol.
I took the liberty to make a short story about thiiiiissss!!!! After all, my sweet demons were on a war, they have some unresolved things to talk about and heal. They are obviously overprotective; so with a sweet little and weak lamb like us, they probably go over the top. I LOVE THE IDEA! Although I HATE the fact they probably live with PTSD, hence where the nightmares come from 😪

Warnings: Flashbacks and topics related to war and death. Hints to mental illnesses. Obvious attraction, but not an established relationship (yet). Angst at the beginning, but also, tenderness and care. I took some creative liberties since I haven't read some parts of the story (struggling to get UR cards), so some details might change from the OG storyline. Finally, I didn't check the syntaxes of the paragraphs so much. Sorry if some stuff doesn't make a lot of sense.
*I apologize in advance for what y'all might read, I absolutely love to write, but I'm not such a good writer. Lol*

Nightmares and dreams
Mammon looks at his right, familiar faces, that he once called "siblings", shattering his other loved ones forever. Their comrades and family's expressions suddenly realize that their existence, one that could be eternal, are brought to an abrupt end at that exact moment. And some of them, many even, look at Mammon with despair, lost and afraid of their own death.
His almost extinct battalion, who he commanded, conformed by his little brothers and sisters that he once witnessed brought to life in a blow of Father's breath, forever gone. Some of them he watched grow up, hugged, played, spoiled, and then... trained. Not anymore. No clue will lay in history that they existed, no irrefutable proof of who they were.
Mammon's eyes widen in horror, mouth open in surprise.
He then looks around and catches in a glimpse a spear that falls graceful and fairly as a punisher of the traitors, hovering over Asmodeus, unerring.
—No. Not Asmodeus, not him!—
Mammon runs faster than the light and slides himself with his younger brother in his arms, successfully saving him from the imminent death. Mammon sighs and thinks it's fine now, but immediately, a penetrating scream is heard, and Beel and Belphie shred tears. The time freezes: all of them stop, every single one of the angels stops, the arrows fall to the green grass, and a new flurry of arrows never comes.
—Lilith... No!—.
Lucifer takes her in his arms, but the ground immediately opens, and both fall. Lucifer's wings turn black, and horns come out of his head as he descends in rapid speed; his halo is lost on the battlefield until Michael takes it with him as a prize for nothing.
Mammon follows them without a second thought, loyal as always, worried like the second brother he is, launching himself to a fall to a who-knows-where place.
As he falls, flames consume his body, his wings burn down to his core, his white robe dissipates, his halo turns in ashes and his head throbs in pain while he feels two horns that grow from it. But he doesn't lose sight of Lucifer and of Lilith's face. Except now is not Lilith's is yours.
Mammon loses his mind: the abyss he falls in turns pitch black, swallowing Lucifer and Lilith in his arms. He has a sinking feeling in his gut and screams, not scared of his own life, but scared of Lucifer's, Lilith's, and yours until his slim body finally bursts against the ground. The room is still completely dark. Shyly, he stands up, —Lucifer? Lilith?—, he calls.
Suddenly, a reflector light turns on. You are right below it, lighted up like a star. The yellowish rays touch your silhouette gracefully as if you were an angel yourself. Beautiful. Candid. Endearing.
—MC? —
You turn around to look at him and smile tenderly, like you usually do. His heart melts. For a short moment, his worries dissappear and he smiles back. He walks to you, enchanted by your bright soul.
Until a pair of claws dig in your back. Your scream never heard. In a gasp, you fall to the ground, bloody, and a set of glowing purple eyes withdrawn into the emptiness of the never-ending darkness of the room.
—NO!— Mammon screams and rushes to you, your face now lifeless, while blood scapes your body. He cries your name, but there's no response. Suddenly, a familiar voice chants: —This is your fault! She died because of you!—. A new figure emerges from the blackness.
—Lucifer?—
—No—, finally revealing his identity, —I'm you—. Mammon's own face responds back.
Mammon's eyes open wide suddenly. Awake, gasping and panting, scared, drowned in his own sweat. He sits in his bed and takes his forehead in his hands. A nightmare.
Mammon feels his heart pace altered. And he tries to calm down.
—It was just a nightmare... right? It felt too damn real. They're here, they're just asleep, they ain't death, right?—
Rationally, Mammon knows he had a bad dream, but a part of him drags him to unreality, so he jumps out of bed, leaves his room, and makes his way to yours. On the short path, he takes his shirt off and notices that even his torso is dripping in sweat, but he manages to clean his face with his wet shirt.
Slowly and carefully, he opens the door of your room, still gasping for air, now in a much more stable breathing pace. When the door is open enough, he peeks inside your room, there, you lay in bed tranquil, your face expression at peace, and your chest slowly moving up and down, asleep.
—Thanks Lilith...—, he whispers and lets himself in your room, knowing that once again, as usual after dreaming your passing, he might be violating your space and the sanctity of your placid sleep. But, he does it anyway. You're his human, after all.
Mammon stands for a short while, looking at you, making sure you're real and safe. He fixes your blanket, covering you well. Then, quietly, he drags your desk's chair to your bed's side and sits, watching you dream your own dreams, snoring softly, comfortable, and even happy.
—I love ya—, he whispers and observes you until his eyelids can't stay open, his head resting right next to your hand.
When you wake up in the middle of the night, Mammon is lying right next to you, uncomfortable. You sigh, thinking that it's happening again.
Gently, you reach to his hand, and he wakes up in a jump, confused and scared.
—MC?—
This time, you don't ask a thing. You just pull his hand to you, and he gets the hint, half asleep, not sure if you inviting him to share the bed is another dream that feels too real again or reality itself.
Mammon nuzzles against your chest, and you throw your arms around him after covering him up with your blanket, too; then, you kiss his temple, trying to convey all your emotions in one little peck.
—I have no idea why you do this— you admit, —but I don't mind sharing my bed with you, Mammon; after all, I love you—.
Your love confession, unheard. For now, that's okay, as long as you can hold your best friend and crush on your arms as if you were lovers already.

Multi chapter -> Yes
Read time: Slow Reader -> 1 Hour/Fast Reader -> About 30 - 40 minutes
Tumblr media
♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧
You were flying down from Skypeia desperate to get to land to activate your waypoint, when you fell asleep. Been working yourself to the bone non stop havent slept in a week, now you had to find a husband. Giving the Skypeia people what they want. Causing you to fall like a meteor out of the sky landing into grass impacting like a crater close to a big building.
~Three Days Later~
Fluttering your eyes open you hear a womans voice yell
"Master Katakuri! Shes awake!" Sitting up you realize youve been changed from your short sleeve white and silver tasseled short dress robes from Skypeia into blood red silk pajamas. Looking around you see your in a fancy mansions bedroom room but everything is ginormous meaning the walls, furniture and ceiling.
'Does a gaint live here?' you think as you hear a knock on the door sliding out of the enormous bed.
"Yes?" You answer. The door opens as your pick up your headphones putting them on. Turning around you see a very very tall man probably around fourteen or fifteen feet tall wearing all black vest with it unbuttoned showing off his chest and abs, black leather pants, black boots with cowboy spurs, his mouth covered in a black and white fur scarf, also he has pink tattoos.
"Your finally awake (N) The Electric God. I have to take you to see Mama. Get ready"
"Wait whats your name?" You ask.
"Charlotte Katakuri" He turns and leaves closing the enormous door. Changing into your Skypiea robes clipping your golden crown to your handphones putting them on. You head out the door and a servant leads you to Katakuri in the living room. All the furniture was enormous. You transform your size to ten foot tall, since you were made out of electricity you could grow or shrink sizes but your biggest was a ten foot tall limit. You accommodate yourself to the size of the furniture and sit on a chair across from him. Him seemingly not phased by your size change.
"How long was I-" He cuts you off.
"Three days" He says staring at you.
"Ahh You have future sight th-"
"Yes" He responds.
"You could at least let me finish my sentences." you say crossing your arms pouting.
"Allright any more questions?" he asks as you respond.
"Im assuming your the one who saved me?" You ask as he nods his head yes, somehow his scarf still covering his mouth.
"Awe well thank you You could have just killed me in my venerable state." you smile at him as he tenses up.
"Why so tense Katakuri? I am not an enemy even if I am a Yonko" stating you stand as well as him.
"Im fine. Mama said to keep you safe. Lets go" he says walking out of the room as you follow him. Following Katakuri to the throne room you look out windows in ah at the kingdom. He slows down for you to cetch up as you assume his silblings walk past. You had researched Big Moms territory before heading out but had exhausted yourself before you fell out of the sky. Once to the throne room you assume Big Mom had allready been briefed on your awakening. Katakuri, Perospero and Oven were standing listening to the conversation.
'They must have the big bounties around me to make sure I dont declare war or let me escape or something.' you think as Big Mom speaks.
"What brings you here Electric God Yonko, Queen of Skypiea?" Mama asks as you respond.
"Ah so youve done your research Linlin good to know. Makes things easier for me to talk about. I am here for marriage on behalf of my people. They wish to see me married. Though I have my reservations and conditions." Stating she says
"Linking to all of Skypiea would open up a lot of possibilities for the Big Mom pirates along with your technology. How old are you if I may ask?" She asks.
"Forty."
"Ahh, I must admit having another Yonko and Logia type spouse would benefit the Big Mom pirates as well." She states as you nod in agreement.
"So what are your conditions?" She asks you.
"Courtship of at least three months. Staying here and in Skypiea an equal amount of time. What I say goes regarding while in Skypiea. I may have the freedom to come and go as I please while in any part of your territory." She looks upset.
"Thats too much!" she sqeals
"Well those are my conditions since, I now have a waypoint of yours I can just teleport back to Skypiea if you dont agree with my terms." You stand firm smiling liking this banter as the others watch you, tensed when you say youd escape.
"Soul or death?" Linlin asks as you scof
"Dont waste my time Linlin" You state crossing your arms. After a minute of nothing happening she seems to think as the others in the room seemed shocked and tense that your not afraid of their mother.
"Im not budging on my conditions" you say uncrossing your arms. She deep sighs and says
"Very well Ill accept your terms. Allow me to draw up a candidate for you Yonko of the sky. Meanwhile you must stay put at Katakuri's home. Itll take one week" She admits defeat. With everyones mouths dropped open except Katakuri's at your successful bartering you nod and say
"Thank you Big Mom. Glad to know your so..... flexible."
"Katakuri you will watch her for the week make sure she doesnt escape. Take her away now." Big Mom grumbled.
"Yes Mama" he says then leading you out of the throne room as you look through the windows again on the way back.
"Your not very talkative are you?" Asking Katakuri.
"No" he responds as he opens the door of his mansion for you.
"Thanks" saying as you walk into his mansion.
"Make her some food" Katakuri says to the kitchen staff as your stomach grumbles. Giggling
"Its gonna take a little bit to get used to you" saying to Katakuri as he heads off with you following into his office. You sit in a chair as he sits at his desk writing on paperwork you assume. You start floating because of your electricity as you relax while singing Bring Me The Horizon - nihilist blues (Lyric Video) ft. Grimes
He seems to relax as well eventually as its now noon. You stop floating when you hear the staff. The kitchen staff comes inside the room setting up gaint food but small relative to your gaint body now, onto the table in front of you. Everything from desert to breakfast was placed on the table. Smiling you chirp
"Thank you" to the staff as they dont say a word and leave making you worry you have done something wrong. About to ask him if you did anything wrong he says
"You didnt do anything wrong. They are told not to speak." you hear from him as you start with the fruit.
"Everything tastes soo sweet here haha but I unfortunately cant eat all of this. Dont you want some too Katakuri?" you giggle as you eat some handmade deserts then a chocolate doughnut. He freezes at your voice saying
"Im not hungry" then continues writing on his paperwork.
'Man this is gonna be boring' you rest your palm to your face elbow on the chair as you go into a food coma. Suddenly waking up after hours of sleep you realize your in bed again but still in your robes under the blankets.
'He must have carried me to bed the staff are too small to carry my big self' a blush rises to your cheeks.
~A Whole Week Later~
You and Katakuri didnt talk much, as he was to just keep you from escaping with his future sight haki. He would always dissapear around mid day though for what you couldnt possibly know since he was supposed to be watching you.
Back in Big Moms throne room. Katakuri standing next to you and Perospero further behind you.
"Katakuri step forward" Confused you see him step forward then tense up, while you wait for Mamas response.
"You will be (N's) candidate for courtship, Perospero will draw up the papers" Mama says as you blush hoping noone could see you.
"Are you sure Mama?" he asks like it was a mistake.
"There is no mistake Katakuri. (N) do you accept this proposition?" She asks as you respond
"Yes thats fine with me it has been an intresting week so far anyways hehe" you giggle as she smiles
"Gather what you need Katakuri you will both start courting immediately starting in Skypiea first thing tomorrow. Perospero take on Katakuri's job, while their away on Skypiea. Is that fine with you (N)?" She asks as you cross your arms then shrug.
"Yes Mama" Perospero says from behind you.
"Its not like I have a choice anymore. I used up my bargaining chips allready you know that better than anyone Linlin" You say as she laughs.
"Sharp as ever (N). Wait in the hallway while I talk to my son." She asks as you nod then head out to the hallway not really caring what they talk about as your easy going. Looking out a floor to ceiling length window at the kingdom your patiently waiting for what seems like awhile as you lean on the wall your ten foot tall self relaxed. Suddenly the door opens revealing Katakuri as he walks up to you.
"Lets go" was the only thing he said as you obey walking behind him. Following him back to his house. Your both in the living room when you get a call on your snail phone. Answering it cheerfully
"Hello this (N)"
"------"
"Ahh hi Kai whatsup?"
"------"
"I allready told you this is not a vacation" You huff
"------------"
"Send the troops to take care of it. Yes ive found a suitor. Ive been just fine they've taken care of me yes. Well be headed there tomorrow morning."
"--------"
"Its really cool here. Theres all kinds of people here."
"-----------"
"Dont embarrass me when we get there okay."
"------"
"Tell the chefs to get prepared in the morning to start practicing recipes that ill have them cook or bake for my suitor in the morning"
"--------"
"Okay bye now see you soon."
*Click* Putting the small snail phone into your pocket your startled by Katakuri's voice.
"Whose Kai?" he asks
"Ah finally intrested in my life now I see haha. Kai is my childhood best friend and part of my personal knights squadron at my palace" You giggle as you put both hands behind your head yawning.
"Hey have you been putting me in my room this whole week when I fell asleep somewhere?" You raise an eyebrow as he responds
"Yes."
"Awe how sweet of you" Giggling you place your hands back into your lap.
"Oh before I forget have your chefs write down any recipes and give them to me, for what food you like to eat and drink." he nods then pulls out a snail phone
"I need you to write down the recipes, and bring it to my mansion before tomorrow morning."
*click* he puts the snail phone away as you notice him shift his weight in his chair.
"Is there anything else I should know about you Katakuri? I know your mouth is a sensitive topic but just know I fully respect you and your decisions." He seems to tense up at your words but says
"Thank you and I just need my paperwork" he says the tips of his ear turning red.
'Hes so cute when hes shy! I didnt think this billion berry man to have a sweet side ... though he is a Sweets Commander after all' You think as he stands and walks to his office as you follow. Looking out the window shows day turning to night time. After some time...
"Allright im headed to bed goodnight Katakuri. Have the deliverer leave the papers on my bed"
"Goonight (n)" Giggling you ran to your room and once you threw the silk pjs on the bed hopping on it you shrank in size back to your normal size. Having holding your bigger size takes some of your power but only very little since you are a Yonko after all. Changing into the clothes you soon pass out. Night becoming morning as the suns rays poke through the window waking you. With groggy eyes you stir sitting up seeing a stack of papers on your bed at the foot. Getting dressed in your special silver robes putting on your headphones, white boots and golden crown you go to the papers there your small size so you read through them.
'Ahh so he loves doughnuts and tea how cute' you think as a knock comes from your room door.
"Yes?" you say as the door opens to reveal your suitor he says
"We better get going" he states as he approaches your bed. Sliding to the edge of the ginormous bed that would most likely fit him, you expand in size to your ten foot self to accommodate him. You hear
"How did you sleep?" emanate from him. Turning to give him a smile you beam at him
"I slept like a rock. Also Katakuri I wanted to thank you for letting me stay with you. Even though it was your job." He just nods in affirmation then says
"Your welcome. Are you ready?" him holding a duffle bag slung over a shoulder. Standing you gather the papers from the bed as you nod opening your pocket dimension made of electricity (like Doctor Stranges portals but it leads into a private bedroom dimension) you set the papers down on the desk then emerge out of your pocket dimension as it closes. He seems shocked for once.
"I can create a pocket dimension with my electricity though, it only has my private bedroom in it" Your answer seems to sedate his appetite as he nods.
"Allright lets go!" squealing you grab his hand and point upwards with the other hand. Transforming into electricity you teleport the both of you to the steps of your palace. Turning back into regular form of your ten foot self letting go of his hand you open the doors yelling
"Im back!" Suddenly the staff and two of your personal knights Dido and Kai with devil fruit powers come to greet you.
"Your back my queen! The queens back everyone!" Kai yells. Smiling at your trusted servants, their used to you changing sizes. Gesturing to Katakuri you introduce him to everyone at once.
"This is Charlotte Katakuri from the Big Mom pirates he saved me when I first got to the land of Totto. He will be my suitor treat him well or your fired. Always knock on his door no matter what he likes his privacy." All your staff and knights nod as you go to the kitchen while Katakuri is led to his room to unpack, across from yours, Knights gaurding the doors. Opening your portal grabbing the recipe papers you hand them to the chefs
"I expect perfection by midday." As you turn around Katakuri is staring at you. Taken aback a little as you didnt hear him.
"Haha silent and deadly I see" You giggle as your personal knight Kai frowns but remains quiet probably gauging Katakuri like he gauges anyone who come to the palace. Headed to your bigger office you sit in the huge chair as Katakuri sits also, meanwhile Kai stands at attention in half mail suit of armor. Dido patrolling the halls.
"Oh before I forget you may roam the islands if you want Katakuri but id like to show you around myself tomorrow. To tour all the islands would take about a week"
"Allright I will wait for you." he says as you feel Kai look shocked that Katakuri spoke. Kai being of normal size. You have Observation Haki as well just yours is feeling others and where and who they are though, while your relaxed though you could get spooked. Starting on paperwork you size up your reading glasses put them on and begin paperwork as youve been lacking for a soild week. Katakuri finishes his paperwork that he brought. At mid day Katakuri dissapears as you stand entering the kitchen.
"So hows everything going? You all better have prepared everything." Kiki your head chef nods saying
"Everything is prepared your highness." She says.
"Allright Dido said he was roaming around outside go take it to him continue this schedule while he is here. Actually ill take it out to him Kiki" You grab the enormous basket and head out of the palace with Kai following you. Once you see his Mochi house it clicks in your mind
'He must be extremely sensitive about his face' you think as his voice emanates from the mochi house.
"Leave it there" you hear as you set the basket of huge ass doughnuts and tea pot with cup down.
"I like your lil house. Anyways my chefs tried their best to mimic your regular doughnuts and tea. Let me know if anything is wrong Katakuri"
"Thank you (N)" he says as you and Kai leave back into the palace to your office while your chefs bring your regular tea and tuna sushi and cake. After eating you put on your reading glasses again and continue working. after awhile
"(N) Why would you invite someone like him here?" Kai asks as you feel Katakuris gaze on you both through a cracked door.
"Kai your on thin ice this is your only warning. He isnt bad if I hear one more negative comment your fired. Besides I actually like him even if he is quiet." Kai frowns as you finish your sentence then shrink down to his size putting a hand on his shoulder to reassure him everything was fine.
"(N) I must confess to you I love you. I have ever since we were children. Please break the courtship and be mine? What can that monster offer you anyways?!" he leans in to kiss you almost landing it when you pull back slapping him in the face it echoing off the walls.
"Thats it youve tested my patience Kai! Your fired! Pack your things and leave the Palace at once. I wont stand for such talk about my suitor. You disgust me judging him when you dont even know him. This is why I wont be yours you judge others without knowing who they really are. I wont cheat on him with anyone! I may not know him that well yet but I do know he is so sweet and kind in his own ways. Unlike you. Now leave before I hurt you" you say somewhat yelling as you size up to ten feet again pointing out of the opposite door that Katakuri was behind. Throwing your hands to your face rubbing your face. After five minutes of Kai leaving Katakuri knocks on the door. Looking up you see him enter the room closing the door then sit on the sofa.
"How much did you see Katakuri?" You stare at him.
"Enough."
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks. Shocked you reply
"It pains me to throw him out but I cannot have a knight whose in love with me. This is the first I've heard of it" You admit as he says
"Im not experienced with romantic feelings..So I cannot comment..." he trails off the tips of his ears turning red.
'Awee hes so shy its so cute!' You think as he asks
"Did you really mean everything you said?"
"I meant every word Katakuri. Lieing isnt my strong suit." He stares at you seemingly looking for insincerity but finds none. Unable to help the tears bursting from your innards, silent sobs came from your frame as you placed your face in your hands. After a minute, you feel yourself be picked up and placed on a bigger lap. Knowing its Katakuri, you bury your face on his scarf muffling your cries your hands resting in balls on his chest. Him unmoving. You feel him tense slightly as he turns his head to the cracked door suddenly wrapping his arms around your back. He turns his head back to you as your cries slowed then halted.
"How do you feel now?" you hear as you pull away to meet his face. (C) eyes meet magenta eyes as you realize your position making heat rise to your cheeks. "I feel embarrassed honestly. I had told him to not embarrass me..."
"Do you have many ... loyal... subjects?" he pauses at loyal which makes your face contort into a frown.
"Im so sorry about him Katakuri. I promise there will not be anymore surprises. Your not a monster either im so sorry you had to endure that. Also no hes the only one I believe." Saying he unwraps his arms from you, seeing beforehand that you were going to get up off him. Looking at his magenta eyes saying
"Thank you very much for comforting me Katakuri. It means a lot." Him just nodding as you sit at your desk again. After awhile you hear your kitchen staff knock on the door unmoving you could tell it was just Kiki with your afternoon tea.
"Come in" you coo not looking back as she opens the door revealing a gaint teapot and gaint tea cups. Kiki had a devil fruit that exclusively lets her change size whenever she wants allowing her to go up to nine feet tall. So she can use the big side of the kitchen. She places the teapot and cups on the glass table in front of Katakuri which was some feet away from you.
"Thank you Kiki"
"Of course (N)-Sama. I shall take my leave now." She says as she walks out closing the door with a click. After a couple minutes
"Did you not enjoy the tea in your mochi house? How were the doughnuts also?" Questioning him he replies
"They were delicious not quite the same as Totto lands but still good. The tea complemented them."
"You may drink if your thirsty. I wont look, im too busy with paperwork." Saying you feel him tense up at your words.
"I promise Katakuri" Enforcing your words you could hear him pull down his scarf and sip the tea." Keeping your word you keep your eyes on your papers as you feel his gaze on you the entire time.
'I wonder what he really looks like. Dammit im so curious!' You think but keep your word.
"Im done." You hear him say as you finish writing your sentence then turn to the table pouring yourself a cup of tea sighing then sitting back in your chair setting your teacup on your desk.
"Whats wrong?" you hear emanate from him.
"Should I implement the Eye For An Eye law or not?" You feel him stand and walk over to you as he asks
"May I?" pointing to the paper to which you nod. He picks up the paper reading it then says
"Usually Mamas children are in charge of punishing others. Though in your case, I would inact it to prevent travelers from harming your citizens. What if travelers come to wreak havoc? Without this law it would leave your citizens vulnerable." He states as you nod then sigh
"Your right Katakuri. Id hate for something to happen to my citizens." You sign off on the document stand holding the paper, then call for your other personal knight Dido. Katakuri goes back to sitting in his chair.
Knocking on the closed door you say
"Come in." Revealing Dido
"Milady you called. Where is Kai? Milady you must not be unsupervised"
"Yes rush over to the law building to have this inacted right away. Kai? I had to fire him he crossed the line between professionalism and personal affairs. Dont worry Dido I have Katakuri here to protect me. Hurry along and turn that law in then come back." You say shrinking the document for Dido. He salutes then closes the door with a click. Katakuri raises an eyebrow which you notice but dont look at him.
"Is it often that your subordinates talk back to you?" Katakuri asks with concern in his voice and maybe distain.
"My subordinates are my family and yes they have the rights to ask questions and talk back. I dont want to be a dictator like your mother." He tchs at your sentence before you say it crossing his arms staying silent.
'That must have struck a nerve. I better apologize.' thinking as you say.
"Im sorry to call out your mother but its not like its not true is it? Shes know far and wide for her wrath and dictatorship." He just nods staying silent as you sigh. You head to the kitchen smelling a wonderful aroma with him tailing you.
"I assume youll want to eat in your room tonight?" You ask him as he nods silently. Opening the kitchen door you announce your presence to your staff.
"Hello everyone whats cookin?" Kiki turns to you saying
"A full three course meal and his chosen desert for your suitor along with one of your favorite deserts (n)- Sama" She says as she continues cooking with the rest of the staff.
"Allright good work everyone. Katakuri will dine in his room tonight remember to knock first."
"Okay (N)-Sama!" They all cheerfully say as you go back to your study. Soon its dinner time. Katakuri retires to his room as you stay in your study/office leaving the door cracked as always you hear a knock then Kiki enters the room with a cart of food. She places the dishes on the glass table as you stand thanking her as she exits the room closing the door. Salad, sushi and chocolate cake for desert. Once finished eventually Kiki comes back to collect the dishes.
"Tell the staff to retire early tonight and wake earlier tomorrow to practice making doughnuts for Katakuri any left overs they may eat as usual."
"Yes milady" She says taking out the cart closing the door. Working late into the night you feel disheartened that youve barely made a dint in the paperwork. Eventually you pass out head hitting the desk pen in hand.
~The Next Morning~
Flickering your groggy eyes open.
"Ahh back in bed Katakuri must have put me back in bed again." Getting up you shower, brush your teeth, use the bathroom, then put on a different set of robes with silver tassels. You put on your headphones with crown. Headed to your office you open the door revealing Katakuri sitting reading a book. You noticing it's one of your romance novels. Blushing you ask
"Do you like romance novels?" You ask him as he looks up to you
"Im indifferent on them, I thought I would do research." he says with one leg over the other flipping down the corner of the page he was reading. As you go to your desk looking it over.
Deciding you need a break you turn to him
"Wanna see the islands today?"
"Thats what you said yesterday." He replies.
"Okay DIDO COME HERE!" You yell as Dido enters through the open doors.
"Yes milady?"
"Accompany us to see the islands today." He nods as you walk out of your study with both of them in tow. Outside the palace you grab both their hands and teleport to the first island.
"Welcome to Fluff Island the main tourist destination Island" Dido says mainly to Katakuri. You all were teleported to the top of the stairs of where the air ship would have landed.
"This way!" You excitedly chirp walking down the stairs. Suddenly you felt your foot slip about to fall but feel an arm around your waist steading you.
"Watch yourself" Blushing, you hear Katakuri say as he releases his grip on you.
"Thanks I think am too excited. I havent had to give a tour in many years, mainly due to how hard it is to get here from the sea." Laughing you are more careful down the stairs.
"Allright Welcome to Fluff Island the biggest island of my nation" Intrigued he asks
"Whats the population?"
"Around one million people live here." You explain as one of the citizens comes up to you.
"Im impressed. Thats a lot of people." He says.
"(N)-Sama there are pirates attacking the capital!" A lady yells up to you as you hold onto Didos and Katakuri's hands you teleport to the capital building with the bank right across from it. You all see havoc as the Beast pirates were attacking the bank and capital building. Immediately going into action you create a lightning bolt grab and throw it as it splits into multiple bolts frying the pirates bodies into ash as you target and attack mercilessly.
"Whose your captain?!" you yell enraged as the citizens try to fight back.
"That would be me!" You turn to see King of the Beast pirates.
"Kaido sends his regards!" King yells down to you as he looks to see Katakuri.
"What are you doing here Katakuri of Big Moms pirates?" King asks him.
"I am (N)'s suitor. The Big Moms pirates and Skypiea are about to become one. You sure you want to continue?" you hear Katakuri say as you split to attack the smaller pirates who were pillaging your precious capital.
"I will alert Kaido of the situation but I must complete my mission here." After most of the pirates are ashes you look to King and Katakuri who have been locked in battle.
"King you can tell Kaido to shove it up his ass! I dont want a war!" You say throwing a bolt of lightning which he dodges.
"(N) lets take this to the sky" King says as you flap out electric wings. An unhappy Katakuri as he cant fly watches you.
"Katakuri help protect my citizens please." You say to him as you take off higher in the sky. Turning into your god form with wisps of clouds around your nape you encapsulate you and King within an electric cage to prevent him from escaping feeling Katakuris eyes on you. (Like Doflamingo's bird cage your cage but a sphere and it also shrinks faster though) After some clashes of sword to electric sword King says
"Kaidos going to hear about your union with the Big Mom pirates. You were supposed to have union with the Beast pirates"
"Fine by me! And im never going to side with you animals!" You yell as you teleport behind him frying off his mask revealing his face. He seems agitated as he lashes behind him but you teleport again. Slowly chipping away at his ego you slash at him with an opening wounding him easily. Teleporting behind him again you grab his left wing and slash at his joint where the wing meets his back ripping off his wing making him fall to the clouded ground blood everywhere. Dropping to the ground floating slightly above the ground you stab King in his liver as hes down making him yell out in pain. Slicing your sword out of his body you feel Katakuris eyes on you.
"Tell Kaido to never come back!" Picking up King off the floor as hes bleeding out as you teleport to the edge of Skypeia and throw King off the edge. Teleporting back you turn back into your normal gaint self and scan the damage. Katakuri has finished off the rest of the Beast pirates.
"Citizens gather round!" you yell as they crowd calms down in the plaza listening to their ruler.
"King of the Beast pirates was the one to attack us. For now clean up the wreckage and rebuild. I have dealt with the problem for now. If there are any more problems call the emergency line to the palace and I will come. I will have a commander, supplies and knights come to gaurd the capital."
"Dido stay here for today and answer any questions that the citizens may have. Help them rebuild also.You can take it from here. Call up a squadron of knights to help out and call builders to help rebuild."
"Yes milady" Dido says as he pulls out a snail phone calling. Turning to Katakuri you speak
"Its around mid day lets go back to the palace to eat then ill continue the tour which will probably take a week to complete." He nods and grabs your hand gently as you teleport inside the palace to your office. Letting go of his big hand you head to the kitchen opening the double swing doors.
"Is everything ready?" Kiki turns to you with a big basket of doughnuts saying
"These should be better than the first batch (N)-Sama." You take the basket and tea pot but Katakuri takes the basket off your hand so you just take the teapot and tea cup.
"Thank you everyone!" As you walk out side he follows you. Him making his mochi house setting the basket inside as he takes the tea pot and cup he says
"Thank you for accommodating me (N)" His sentence makes you beam at him smiling making his ears turn red.
"Of course silly I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. And I should be thanking you for helping me during the fight."
"Anyways I hope you enjoy your quiet time. Ill be in my office eating." He nods stepping into his mochi hut closing the door. Teleporting to your office you start on paperwork while Kiki knocks on the door.
"Come in"
Kiki enters and places your sushi down with some tea.
"Thank you Kiki cutie~" You can tell shes blushing as she always does when you call her pet names.
"Go have a break and eat with the staff."
"Yes (N)-Sama" she chimes happily and rolls the cart out as you eat lunch. Once finished you go back to working as eventually you feel Katakuri enter the palace headed to your office. Knocking you say
"Come in Katakuri" He enters the room closing the door sitting in his chair as Kiki knocks on the door
"Come in" Kiki enters taking the plates and tea set leaving the room and closing the door.
"Katakuri how was your treats and tea this time?" You ask him as hes sitting with a leg crossed over the other in his chair.
"They were better than the last batch. Thank you." You nod stretching then standing.
"Shall we continue the tour?" Asking he responds
"Yes im very intrested."
"Yay! Me too!" you giggle then hold his hand teleporting to Fluff Island on the beach this time. You release his hand and run into the sea of clouds. Floating on the sea clouds Katakuri sits on the beach while some of your citizens come up to the foam of the beach yelling for you.
"(N)-Sama! How are you?!" Noticing them you swim back to the beach getting out. It was a group of children shrinking to your adult small regular size they glomp you making you fall over laughing.
"Hello everyone haha!" you pet their heads and some ask you.
"(N)-Sama whose that?" they point at Katakuri.
"He is my suitor everyone say hi to Katakuri" all the children say
"Hello Katakuri" at the same time. He chuckles seemingly amused at your interaction between the children.
"Hello" he replies to them as they wave.
"Allright allright thats enough children. I have to show him around Skypeia still" They all whine getting off of you while you stand. Allright go back to playing kids" They wave at you as you size up and start walking with Katakuri following beside you. You walk with him through the boardwalk with rides and everything as citizens look at you both occasionally waving, you waving back smiling. Walking to the gaint airship you both sit as you ride the technologically advanced machine ship to the next island.
"Welcome to Pearl Island Katakuri. This is where our science team develops weapons among other devices and technology for our military and citizens. I bet your going to have to report about all this to Big Mom but im not worried." you say with a smile entering the science building that was enormous. Tall enough for Katakuri to stand comfortably. Walking to the high tech room you knock on the soild steel door.
"This is (N) open up" suddenly the gate opens and a scientist greets you.
"(N)-Sama welcome back. And who is this with you?"
"This is Katakuri from the Big Mom pirates he is my suitor. Were touring all the islands." The scientist nods glancing up at Katakuri's face then leading you both to the experiment room.
"We have been developing a teleportation door so citizens can go to other islands quicker than the airships. We have allready finished the door and it works perfectly. We are going to implement it on Sundial Island where the military base is soon as next week. Then we have developed a Particle beam cannon thats portable that shoots an electric beam to harm attackers. We just finished Particle pistols as well. Were in development of suits for the knights and troops that will improve training their haki by fifty percent." You feel Katakuri tense up at the scientists words but choose to ignore it.
"Excellent work tell the rest of the team they can have one week off to spend time with their families. Add creating a solar power generator to make electricity for each city to the list. Once back from vacation make sure everyone goes hard on developing the rest of the list. We will take our leave now to continue the tour." The scientist nods
"As you wish (N)-Sama im sure the team will thank you have fun you two." He waves as you nod and start walking out of the science building. Walking with Katakuri beside you you ask
"So what do you think so far Katakuri?" he looks at you smiling at him hands behind your back.
"I think Mama will be happy about the technology you have here. Implementing them at Wholecake Island and the rest of the territories would greatly improve the civilian and military lives." You giggle at his words.
"Thats not what I asked cutie. I asked what do YOU think of it?" Seeing heat in his ears he answers
"Im very impressed by your technologies and rulership... Your a kind ruler."
"Awee hehe thank you I try" you say back as you both sit in the air ship headed to Floral Island.
"Well be arriving at Floral Island soon."
You say as he nods waiting to land.
"What is this ship powered by?" He asks
"Electricity. Every so often I have to go to the battery coil for the nation and give my electricity to the coil battery. If your good I may show you hehe" You giggle as some citizens glance back at you both murmuring about you both him rasing an eyebrow. Once to Floral Island you stand walking onto the island then say
"This is the romance Island since there are so many flowers. This will be the last island for today." You say as you ask
"Do you have a favorite flower Katakuri?"
"No." He replies as he walks beside you into the enormous glass green house. After awhile Katakuri was dragging behind you.
"(N)." You hear your name turning around you see Katakuri holding a flower out to you his ears red as you blush taking the flower holding it close to your chest.
"Thank you Katakuri its beautiful" You say as you go over and give him a quick hug. You giggle at his red ears him looking to the side.
"Whats so funny?" He asks crossing his arms.
"Nothing your just cute when you blush." He blushes deeper looking at you with slightly wider eyes then returns to normal. Headed to the beach you both sit staring at the sunset as you both see couples holding hands and kissing. You yawning he speaks
"Lets head back" Your stomach rumbles as he stands holding out a hand to you. Taking his hand helping you up you say
"Thank you and allright lets go." He holds out his hand as you take it teleporting to your office. Conveniently Kiki knocks on the door.
"Come in" Saying as you release Katakuri's hand, she walks in with your dinner as Katakuri leaves to his room. After eating you work on paperwork till you pass out again.
~Seven Days Later~
During the week Katakuri would put you in your bed every night, because you would over work yourself and pass out at your desk. He finished that romance novel and would read through your other romance novels. Hes become more talkative slowly. Every day youd look at the flower Katakuri gave you but its wilted now and the maid threw it out after a week. Today is the last day touring the Sky Islands.
"Are you ready Katakuri?" You ask as he nods yes.
"Today Ill take you to the military base on Sundial Island." You hold out your hand as he stands walking over grabbing your hand. Teleporting to Sundial Island in front of the base he lets go of your hand, catching some stares you both walk up to the training squad. The squadron salutes you them all saying
"(N)-Sama" at the same time.
"At ease everyone this is a social call. Sky Commander Riko hows everyone doing?"
"They all are passing their marks and enduring gravity training very well. milady" He says in a white and silver uniform. (That looks like a police uniform but white and silver)
"The science devision is on a one week break but once they resume they will be implementing special suits to increase haki use by fifty percent for the military devision."
"Ouu thats exciting milady good to know thank you. Whose this with you?"
"Ah this is Katakuri my suitor from the Big Mom pirates hes the number one Sweets Commander of whole cake Island. Todays the last day touring all the islands. Katakuri this is Riko hes also a logia type." You state smiling.
"Nice to meet a fellow commander sir" Riko says saluting as Katakuri retorts
"Likewise" You wave at Riko and head into the base with Katakuri beside you. Luckily the base is enormous so size so doors arnt a problem. Your immediately greeted by Koko, Kikis twin but who has a different devil fruit used for fighting.
"Hello (N)-Sama nice to see you who is this?"
"Hey Koko. This is Katakuri first Sweets Commander from the Big Mom pirates and my suitor. Were finishing the tour of the islands today. Get me Jozu will you?" She nods and after a short amount of time, Jozu and Koko walks up to you he stands at ten foot tall naturally.
"Im training a squadron right now. I made them take a break. What do you need (N)-Sama?" Gesturing to Katakuri you say
"Jozu this is Katakuri the first Sweets Commander and my suitor from the Big Mom pirates. I just wanted you both to meet. Katakuri this is my First Sky Commander of Skypeia. Hes also a logia type." Jozu holds out his hand to shake Katakuris hand. They shake hands as Katakuri says
"Nice to meet you"
"Likewise if your staying in Skypeia for awhile maybe we can spar eachother or you could spar with Riko or Suna hes the Second Sky Commander and Suna's the Third Sky Commander Haha" Jozu chuckles.
"Perhaps ill take you up on that offer, it depends on what (N) says." Katakuri looks to you.
"That is fine just dont kill eachother and not today though. Just let me know so I can watch. Ill let you get back to training Jozu"
"Of course (N)-Sama. See you both later." Jozu walks off while Koko says
"So is there anything you wish to know Katakuri sir?" She says with a smile.
"What kind of weapons do the normal troops use? How many commanders are there?" He asks quizzically.
"The normal troops carry electric swords that are able to be recharged. The advanced troops use sea prism granades that when explode release shards of sea prism and a electric shock around them. Also they have electric swords and electric guns that shoot electric bullets to paralyze and hit far enemies. All troops in our military use haki and are trained to the advanced haki stages regardless if they have devil fruits or not. There are twenty Sky Commanders but only the top ten train squadrons. The top three Sky Commanders are as follow First is Jozu, Second is Riko, Third is Suna. Today is Suna's day off however. Jozu is a metal logia type. Riko is a gravity logia type. And Suna is a wind logia type." Koko finishes her speech.
"I see thank you Koko" he says then you say
"Yes thank you Koko we will be touring the base so you are free to go now."
"Yes (N)-Sama" She says as she goes back to probably paperwork. Walking around the base you tell Katakuri that the bottom ten Sky Commanders patrol ten different Sky Islands unfortunately their wasnt a commander at the capital but they have hence switched up patrols so that the strongest Sky Commander in the bottom ten is at the capital now. You talk about the advanced technology and how each troop and commander has the white version of electric boots to fly up to hundred feet in the air.
"Your military is so well organized and obedient." he says
"Why thank you Katakuri that means a lot since, I basically built everything from the ground up." Smiling at him he says
"Its time to head back." he says as your stomach growls you giggle.
"I dont know if ill ever get used to your haki but yea lets go eat then continue the tour" He holds out his hand allready used to your touch to teleport as you take hold of his hand you teleport to your office as Kiki knocks on the door.
"Come in Kiki" You say as Katakuri heads outside to make his mochi hut.
"Hello (N)-Sama here is lunch" She sets down the tuna sushi, chop sticks and tea. Then she leaves closing the door. Once finished you continue your paperwork. After awhile,
"Dido!" You yell as you hear the door open turning you see Katakuri and Dido.
"Yes milady?"
"Here take these papers and deliver them to the proper places today." You state shrinking the papers handing them to him.
"Yes milady. Oh when are you going to find a replacement knight? You really shouldnt be alone."
"Dont worry Dido im working on it. Katakuri's here also dont forget that. Now hurry and deliver the papers."
"Yes (N)-Sama" He says then heads out of the door closing the door. Putting your reading glasses on your desk you turn to Katakuri asking
"Are you ready to continue? Were almost done." He nods as you both stand then you open the door walking out of the palace with Katakuri following you.
"Where are we going next?" He asks as you reply
"First lets go back to Sundial Island. I want to give you a present." He looks shocked before you finish your sentence heat rose to his ears.
"Allright" He says holding out his hand as you grab his hand teleporting to the front door of the military base. With him following you, you both walk into the military base. Koko spies you both walking up to you as she mainly does paperwork in her glass office by the front door.
"Hello (N)-Sama. What brings you in here again?" She asks
"Could you get me an extra pair of Flight boots in black? Then replace them from the science devision once their back from vacation and say sorry for me"
"Yes (N)-Sama." Koko walks off then comes back after ten minutes holding black winged boots handing the small boots to you.
"Luckily we just got in these brand new from the science devision a couple day ago (N)-Sama."
"Thanks Koko do you have a message for your sister?"
"Oh yes (N)-Sama! Please ask her out to lunch this Wednesday for me?"
"Ill let her know Koko see ya"
"Goodbye (N)-Sama and Katakuri-Sama" She says as you both walk out onto the beach.
"You dont have to take your boots off Katakuri just step into these as I size them up" As you enlarge the boots with your electricity they puff up then shrink around his spurs seemlessly.
"Are these ones different than the white versions?" You hear him ask. As you stand up you look into his eyes.
"Yes these are the upgraded version. These ones dont have a flight limit and can fly as far as you want until the batteries run out. Ill charge them for you when were back at Whole Cake Island if you want to use them."
"Thank you (N)" You beam up at him seeing his ears turn red saying
"You are my suitor. Its no problem at all Katakuri. Besides you cant get to the battery coil without flying. Also I can't teleport to the battery coil because of the type of technology used, id mess it up and it would probably explode." You smile upward at him.
"I see. How do you activate these?" He asks as you reply.
"Theres a seemless button on the inside ankle on both boots. My troops can fly with just one boot but since your so tall youd need both boots." You lean down pressing both buttons activating them.
"Ill just wait until you get the hang of them before we head out." You say as he starts hovering above the ground.
"Have you ever skated before its kinda like that but you skate upwards to fly." You say sitting down silver tassels flowing around you due to your electricity. Katakuri walking around trying to skate.
"Here let me give you a lesson lets first skate forward then backwards then left then right." He copies your movements.
"Now skating upwards." Still obeying you. After about an hour or so your guessing he seems to have gotten the hang of skate flying. As you were sitting he flies up to you.
"Im ready now." He says floating above the cloud ground with his black winged boots with spurs. You float above the ground then start hovering taking a path around the military base to a cloudless sky with a whinding rainbow as a path.
"Dont go off the path or your probably fall out of the sky. This is called Rainbow Road it may look soild but its not" Saying behind you as he speeds up to fly beside you.
"I understand." He says. After about an hour of flying on Rainbow Road you reach the end which turned into actual grass and trees with a whole forest in front of you. Hovering above the ground you continue forward trees towering over the both of you like Red Woods.
"Weve entered Gods Sacred Woods now. No one besides me and the four guardians are allowed to enter butttt ill make an exception. Their all a billion berries eac-"
"(N)-Sama turn back now, your breaking the law" Voices emanate from the forest. Turning into pure electricity you shout
"Lets make an exception Guardians. Thats an order"
"We cannot allow you (N)-Sama to bring outsiders to the battery coil under ANY circumstances" Hovering gently jogging in place, Katakuri seems intrested as you shout
"Fine come at me with your best shot"
Slowly raising your left arm once all four jump to you obviously using haki you *snap* suddenly they all fly into the tree bases knocking them out in a single move.
"I didnt even see you move" you hear Katakuri say shock in his voice behind you as you turn back to human form. Looking at him
"Thats because its impossible for humans to see lightspeed my dear Katakuri" He just looks shocked with wide eyes. Grabbing his hand you say
"Alright they wont stay down forever lets go fast!" flying off deeper into the woods at a faster speed. You both finally come up to a clearing with a metal bridge. Hovering across it you both come up to a gaint twenty foot (Tesla coil that absorbs electricity) metal battery.
"This is Skypiea's Nations battery." he looks up as you turn back into electricity and place your hand on the coil it automatically absorbing your electricity. A led panel shows the coil blinking red before you started. After twenty minutes the battery panel shows half green.
"How long does the battery last once its charged?" You hear Katakuri ask as hes staring into the woods almost like hes gaurding you.
"It honestly depends on how much electricity is used by the nation. Estimating id say about two to three months per charge. Jozu helped create the bridge, coil, and battery along with the science devision." You say turning your attention back to the coil pumping more electricity into the coil.
"Ah I see." He says. After fifteen more minutes the battery panel shows fully charged. Taking your hand off of the coil you hover next to Katakuri.
"Theyyy probably want to kill you, by now they've definitely woken up." Glancing at him he gives you a look as he asks
"So how many billion berry people are there in Skypeia?"
"Total? Hmmmm... there are nine well ten if you include me though im well above one billion, the Guardians and the top five Sky Commanders of the military." You say grabbing his hand again leading him through the forest at a fast pace. You stop suddenly letting go of him, turning into electricity raise your hand and *snap* Sending all four flying into the trees again.
"Haha they fell for it again! Im gonna have to scold them later. Their supposed to attack without mercy. Though I understand attacking your ruler can be hard." You giggle as you fly passed them deeper into the woods with Katakuri following you. Once an hour passes you pass through Rainbow Road and see clouds again as you both come out in front of the military base.
"(N) isnt your bounty four billion eight hundred million even higher than Kaido's?" He asks as you turn around shocked.
"I didnt know you knew or that anyone knew besides the marines. Your not wrong handsome" He blushes at the word handsome as you say it, then grabbing his hand you both teleport to in front of your palace him turning off the boots, you standing on the ground. Opening the doors you yell
"Were back!" As Kiki and Dido come out to greet you both.
"Welcome back (N)-Sama and Katakuri-Sama." They both say as Kiki says
"Dinner will be finished shortly."
"Yay food! Also Kiki your sister Koko asked if you wanted to do lunch on Wednesday? You should give her a call." You state plainly.
"Oh thank you (N)-Sama" She says happily as she heads back into the kitchen. Headed to your office with Dido and Katakuri in tow you both sit in chairs Katakuri to your left by the glass table and you in your desk chair doing more paperwork. Eventually its dinner time and Katakuri resigns to his room as you stay in your office finishing up paperwork when Kiki knocks.
"Come in Kiki" She opens the door with the food cart then places your dinner down, leaves then closes the door. Once done eating you continue your paperwork then eventually pass out.
~Katakuri's POV~
You awoke seeing no light through the windows again due to not being used to staying where you are. Getting dressed you head to (N)'s office her desk lamp still on. You see (N) laying on her desk again.
'Another night of her overworking herself.' Letting out a quiet sigh you go over to her and gently pick her up bridal style as you hear a whisper.
"...Kata-Kun..." Blush creeping to your face.
'I wonder what shes dreaming about? She does look cute sleeping in my arms..' you think. Shaking your head slightly you shake off your blush but then she leans into your chest gripping your black vest her hot breath on you abs making your face turn red again.
'Well I cant release her grip without waking her up.' Thinking you go sit on the big sofa laying her down while she rests on your lap still holding your vest. Picking up a new romance novel you begin reading doing research on love.
"Kata...kuri..." She stirs but doesnt wake.
~(N)'s POV~
You feel something warm on your upper half of your body cuddling up to it as you keep your eyes closed. It moves slightly. Confused you stir awake flickering your groggy eyes open to see abs in your face with pink stripes down the abs, and a black vest your holding onto part of the vest as you breath on abs close to you. Looking up you blushing meet magenta eyes with your (C) eyes.
"Goodmorning." You hear Katakuri say as you let go of his vest and say
"Goodmorning Katakuri. Did you um... get any sleep?" You ask as you sit up slide your feet off of the sofa then see hes reading one of your romance novels.
"Its hard for me to sleep in new places. I woke up early." He says as you lean on his shoulder.
"Im sorry Katakuri. Hopefully youll get more used to things as the days pass. Do you dislike me for being your suitor?"
"Hopefully. I dont dislike you at all it was bound to happen eventually if not with you then itd be someone else why bring it up?" He says
Looking up at him as he meets your eyes you say
"Well I just showed up then Big Mom said you were to be my suitor... Usually there are reservations on the other parties end...I mean thisll most likely become an arranged marriage... And its hard to tell what your thinking most times..." You say quietly as he seems to think before speaking.
"You allready sealed are fates when you asked for a suitor. Theres nothing to have any reservations about anymore. She will want us to be married as an arranged marriage now regardless of your three month courtship rule. I dont dislike you for it though. I think your a good person. Ill try to speak more and accommodate for you (N) when were in the territories." He replies as you just nod listening to him.
"Well if theres anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable let me know" You say to him.
"You have been really accommodating thank you. ....Im just.... shy.... with being..... romantic...Ive never had to deal with it before.." He pauses a lot but gets his words out. You sit up and press your lips to his temple making him flinch regardless of his future sight. Giggling you pull back saying
"Whats wrong? Its only a kiss"
"... Noone has ever kissed me before...Im too intimidating....." he whispers seemingly unsure of what to do. Giggling you whisper in his ear
"Well im not other people. I find you attractive, sweet, and intelligent. I mean since our fates are sealed allready." Your breath tickles him as he shivers.
"I find you to be beautiful, sweet and intelligent as well." He says as he looks into your (C) eyes making you blush deep red.
"Now look whose blushing." He says poking fun at your face. Putting your hands up to your face covering yourself you poke an eye through your fingers. Seeing him lean forward and kiss your forehead through his scarf making you blush even harder.
"Whered you learn that?" You ask as he replies
"I learned it from your romance novels."
"Ahh sorry their the only things around here" your blush fading as you take your hands down then lean on his arm again. He picks up his arm so your now leaning on his chest, as he wraps his musclely arm around your waist pulling you closer to him.
"You can sleep more if you want. Its early. Sorry I woke you." you blushing again he holds the book in his free hand continuing to read as you take his advice and gently fall asleep again.
~A Total Of A Month And A Half Later~
Waking up on the sofa with Katakuri under you has become a routine every day since it happened the first time. Eventually he spared with your commanders, ending up in a tie and with against you , you won against him obviously but not without extra effort due to the fact that hes made of mochi. Today you both go back to Big Moms territories. You both have grown closer, enough to cuddle on your sofa. Fluttering your eyes open you wake seeing him reading again with his warm arm resting on your waist.
"Kata-Kun.." You whisper looking up at him from his lap. He glances down at you folding the corner of the page setting the book down.
"Yes (N)?"
"Today we have to go back to Whole Cake Island dont we?" You ask in a whisper.
"Yes we do. Are you scared?" He asks resting his arm back on your waist.
"Well.... maybe a little nervous. Im unsure if your mother will keep her word that I may come and go as I please. Because I wasnt allowed outside during the week that you were watching me so everything will be new to me." You admit as he responds
"Dont worry ill show you around once we get back."
"Oh right you must be happy to be going back to your home." You whisper as he pulls you closer.
"I got used to being here. But I wont deny im looking forward to going back." He says as you sit up him pulling you onto his lap making you blush as he hugs you. Hugging him back you feel his warmth as you feel his eyes on you.
"Ill have to introduce you to my siblings too once were back." He whispers loud enough for you to hear. You just nod into his chest as he starts to rub your back. Giving him a kiss on his chest makes him shiver slightly. You giggling he says
"Ill never get used to that."
"Noone said you had too handsome." You reply as he lets go of you, you sit up getting off the sofa standing and stretch yawning. Headed to your room you do the necessities then put on a clean robe and start packing your suitcase. Headed back to your office you pick up your huge stack of paperwork and glasses then head back to your room putting them in the suitcase with the rest of your things. Opening your portal you set your suitcase in your pocket dimension then close it and walk back to your office where Katakuri was. "Are you read-" You cut yourself off as you see his dufflebag next to him on the sofa.
"Ah good your ready, its up to you when we'll leave today." You state as you look around.
"Unfortunately the earlier the better when it comes to Mama." He says making you frown.
"When can I have cuddles?" He chuckles at your question.
"Whenever we get back home from reporting to Mama and touring."
"Yay! Well first let me say goodbye to my staff." You say to Kata as you walk out to the hall calling for Dido then headed to the kitchen as Dido follows behind you. As you open the kitchen door you see them cooking breakfast for themselves.
"Allright me and Katakuri are headed to Whole Cake Island in Big Moms territories. Make sure to feed everyone. Goodbye everyone ill periodically come to Skypeia to see how things are going. I probably wont be able to leave the territories for a month and a half though. Call me if you need me or there are emergencies." They all say
"Yes (N)-Sama"
"Okay back to your posts." You say as you walk back to your office seeing Katakuri reading. He flips the top corner of the page to bookmark his place then puts the book in his duffle bag. Standing he picks up his duffle bag holding out his hand to you. Taking his hand you point downwards then turning into electricity you long teleport to in front of his mansion. Letting go of his hand you follow him into his mansion as he opens the door for you, you enter saying
"Thank you Kata-Kun." He nods then a servent leads you to your room. Unpacking and putting away everything, holding your huge stack of paperwork and walk to his office. Seeing Katakuri sitting at his desk you set your papers on the glass table.
"Are you ready now (N)?" You just nod as he stands. Following him to Mamas throne room you both enter hearing.
"Ahh Katakuri and (N). Your finally back. How was everything?" She asks.
"Everything was okay except Kaido sent King, his subordinates to attack Skypiea on like the second day we were there. Other than that I showed Katakuri around all of Skypeia." You state as she says
"Kaido?! Why is he meddling with our affairs?!" She yells angrily.
"King said that I was supposed to marry within Kaidos territory but I hadnt even said anything to Kaido about marriage. So im assuming he has spies in my kingdom. Ill have to rut them out when I head back." You state.
"Hmm Interesting. Ill have to talk to Kaido about you and talk to him of our union. Would you wait outside while I talk to Katakuri." She says as you nod then head out the door into the hall looking out of the window.
~Katakuri's POV~
"So tell me Katakuri what did you learn about while in Skypeia?" Mama asks you and you describe all the technologies that Skypiea has and are implementing in their nation. How (N) has been treating you, the science devision and military devision among other things. After about an hour of giving your report she seems pleased saying
"Weve stuck gold with (N) and Skypiea. You may leave now Katakuri and give her a tour of all the territories." Mama says as you walk out of the throne room opening the hall door to see (N) staring out of a window.
~(N)'s POV~
You were staring out of a window at the tiny specks of people who looked like ants when you heard the hallway door to the throne room open then close. Looking over you saw Katakuri walking to you then say
"Lets go back home (N)." He says as you were about to ask about the tour he cuts you off saying
"Ill start giving you the tour tomorrow." As he walks off in the direction of his mansion you running to cetch up.
'Is he upset?' You think as you follow him all the way back to the mansion him opening the door for you again walking in following him to his office. He sits at his desk as you sit in the chair by the glass table starting on your paperwork. After it becomes mid day you hear Katakuri stand and leave the room as you continue with your paperwork as the staff enters the office with food for you placing the dishes beside your paperwork on the glass table.
"Thank you" You say as you continue working then taking a break eating some waffles with syrup and drinking tea. Eventually you sense Katakuri come back him opening the office door to you finishing your waffles.
"This is the first time Ive ever seen you eat something sweet." He says raising an eyebrow.
"Well thats because you always hide your self away during food times silly." You giggle finishing the waffles. His ears just turn red as he goes to sit back at his desk. You stand and go up to him slightly nervous. Turning to you he asks
"What are you thinking (N)?" he asks quizzically as youve been standing there for a minute as your about to ask but then he pulls you onto his lap you blushing cherry red. Looking up to him you smile then hug around his waist snuggling his chest as he continues to do paperwork. Soon the kitchen staff knock then come in colleting the plates and leave as you sit on Katakuri leaning into his chest. After some time you start snoozing in his lap.
"(N)~....(N)~...." You wake from your deep slumber to hear Katakuri cooing you awake.
"Kata-Kun?" Opening your eyes to look up and meet magenta eyes.
"Its dinner time." He says
"Oh sorry."
"No need to be sorry, I let you sleep." He says sweetly to you as he chuckles from you yawning. Sliding off of him you go sit on the chair by the table as he retired to his room. You stay in the office working on paperwork when the staff knock and enter with dinner for you. Eating you eventually retire to your room sliding in bed falling asleep.
~The Next Morning~
You flutter your eyes open the morning rays poking through the window. Getting up you get ready and switch into a clean robe and panties putting on your white boots headphones and crown. Heading out of your room into Kata's office you see him writing on his paperwork going up to him.
"Goodmorning (N) How did you sleep?" He asks looking at you.
"I had a bad dream honestly." You say as he asks
"What was it about?"
"I was asleep then captured by some other pirates and they kept me prisoner in a faraway land then I woke up." Rasing an eyebrow he says
"Well its a good thing your protected here. Ill kill anyone who messes with you. Besides they must have a death wish capturing a Yonko."
"Awee thats the sweetest thing anyones ever said to me." You coo to him making his ears turn red.
"Awee is someone blushing?" You poke fun at him hugging his arm nuzzleing his scarfed neck. He pets your head then pulls you onto his lap kissing the top of your head through his scarf making you blush.
"Kata-Kun..." Giggling you look up at him face flushed.
"Hmm?" He hums
"You make me blush everytime you do that." You say as he pets your head
"Your very cute."
"Are you ready for the tour?" He asks as you nod
"Will you hold my hand through it?" You blush asking as the tip of his ears turn red.
"... Sure (N)." He pauses but then agrees.
"Yay! Thank you Kata-Kun!" You chirp then hug him giving his chest a peck. You feel his arms wrap around you holding you closer.
"Allright we should get going." He whispers as he slides you off of him. Whining you shrug.
"You can have cuddles later. Lets go" He says as he stands and opens his office door as you follow him out of the mansion. Slipping his hand into yours he holds your hand leading you along as you both blush. Walking down a road with him he leads you to town as people stare at you.
"Why is everyone staring at me Kata-Kun?" Looking up at him he replies
"No one has ever seen me with a woman especially holding their hand. You have to also remember that I am the First Sweets commander as well." You blushing walk with Katakuri to a fancy looking cafe. He lets go of your hand turning to you.
"I need you to shrink down and go inside, ask for Pudding to come out." He says as you obey shrinking down you head into the cafe. There were a lot of people in the cafe but you went up to the the counter and saw a pretty brunette haired woman with bangs and twin tail hair.
"Hello how may I help you?" She cheerfully asks.
"Um.. Katakuri asked for Pudding to come outside." Her eyes widen.
"Big brother is back finally?! Lets go" She yells then pulls you out of the cafe. Once out of the cafe you size up clearly shocking her as she says
"Big brother how are you? Where were you all these days? Who is she?" He chuckles and says
"Im doing good. We were in Skypeia for a month and a half courting, now we will be courting for a month and a half here. Pudding this is (N) The Electric God, Queen of Skypeia. Im her suitor. (N) this is Charlotte Pudding one of my little sisters."
"Listen here (N)! You better treat my big brother good or ill have all of us kill you!" She threatens as he chuckles
"Dont worry she has treated me good Pudding. I like her a lot" he says as you put your free hand up to your cheek
"Awe Kata-Kun I like you a lot too." Pudding smiles up at you both
"Ah looks like you two are in love~ Im so happy for you big brother! So you were finally chosen for an arranged marriage. Oh let me go get your regular order!" She chimes running back into the cafe.
"This is Pudding's Cafe shes very proud of it." Kata explains.
"I would be too its soo cute inside and out!" you chime as you suddenly see Pudding come out with a gaint basket of huge doughnuts you take them letting go of Katakuri's hand opening your portal setting them onto your desk then closing the portal with her looking shocked.
"If big brother likes you then so do I, feel free to come to my room anytime during the day to talk or hang out. Well I would love to stay and chat more but im the clock. I have customer's to attend too. Take care of my big brother (N)!"
"I will dont worry Pudding." you wave as she heads back inside and Katakuri holds your hand again.
"Sooo you like me a lot now do you?" He turns his head to you with red ears he repsonds
"Yes I do.. why?"
"Nothing I think its super cute your crushing on me." Your comment makes his ears turn even more red as you could tell hes trying to calm down. You squeeze his hand gently.
"Theres nothing wrong with that Kata-Kun." You giggle as he leads you out of the main town to the residential area. He stops in front of a cake house leans down and knocks on the door. The door opens revealing a pink hair woman in her mid twenties with pink hair in twin tails.
"Big brother what brings you here? And whose this pretty lady your holding hands with?"
"I wanted you to meet (N) The Electric God, Queen of Skypeia. Im her suitor. We were in Skypeia for a month and a half courting now we will court here for a month and a half. (N) this is Charlotte Chiffon another one of my little sisters." He explains as you shrink down letting go of his hand to shake Chiffons hand.
"Its so nice to meet another one of his siblings!" You says cheerfully
"Its nice to meet you too (N)! Who have you met so far?" she chimes.
"Just Pudding and you so far" You reply as she nods.
"Pudding tends to have a split personality so watch out for that but shes normally sweet. Its so nice to see you again big brother and nice to meet you (N) but I something cooking right now I have to go. If you ever want to come over we could hang out (N) sometime. Heres my number." Shes goes then writes down a number and hands it to you as you open your portal setting it on your desk with the doughnuts.
"Do you happen to have Puddings number too?" you ask as she nods then writes it down handing it too you as you place it along with Chiffon's number on your desk then close the portal.
"Okay we'll let you get back to cooking thanks Chiffon!" You chime as she says
"Nice to meet you have a good day you two bye!" she says as she closes the door and Katakuri drags you off showing you the rest of the town.
~Around Mid Day~
"Kata-Kun we should go back to the mansion its lunch time." He nods as you teleport to in front of his mansion. You both split up him going to his garden you headed to his office to do paperwork. Soon the staff knocks then comes into his office setting down some doughnuts, vegetable and meat soup and fruit. The staff exits as you eat the fruit and eat the soup while doing paperwork. Eventually Katakuri walks in as your eating differen flavored doughnuts. You look up at him looking at you.
"So you like doughnuts too?" He asks as you chime
"Yea there one of my favorite deserts!" The tips of his ears turn red as he asks
"What are your five favorite deserts then?" You pause then think hard as he sits in his chair.
"No ones ever asked me that before. I suppose Mochi is my number one then chocolate chiffon cake, then doughnuts, then chcolate pudding, then chocolate gelato!" You say making him blush.
"Im made of Mochi you know... are you trying to say that im your favorite?" He asks chuckling as you giggle taking a bite of doughnut chewing then swallowing.
"I suppose thats one way to think of it." Blushing you say as he takes a glob of mochi from himself making something then tossing it to you. You open your hands revealing a tiny model of his usual mochi house that he makes for lunch.
"Awee its so cute!" You coo poking the mochi as it bounces back.
"Try it." He says as you look up at him shocked.
"Dont worry it wont hurt me. Im not a logia type." He responds to your shocked expression. Blushing hard you put it up to your mouth and take a bite.
"Ahh best mochi ive ever had! Hehe you taste so sweet and good Kata-Kun~" Cooing making him sink into his scarf blushing. Finishing the mochi house you say
"So yummy!" As you stand and walk over to Katakuri you wrap your arms around his scarf and kiss his forehead nuzzling his head.
"Someones cuddly come here then." He wraps a strong arm around your waist dragging you onto his lap with you giving a yelp of surprise then smiling up to him. He wraps his big arms around you as you place your hands flat against his abs, head resting on his chest smiling. Inhaling in his mochi scent you smile against his chest as he rubs your back. After ten minutes of staying like that he says
"We should get back to the tour." Looking up magenta eyes meet (c) eyes as you just nod, him releasing his grip on you as you slide off of him.
"Where to now cutie?" You ask as he stands walking out of the office with you following.
"I want to introduce you to Brulee my closest little sister to me." He states as you see him pull out a small snail phone calling someone.
"Brulee are you busy?"
"------"
"Yes come to my mansion theres someone I want you to meet."
"-----"
"Okay see you soon"
*clicka*
Turning to you he grabs your hand leading you to a floor to ceiling length mirror in the hallway and waits. Confused about to ask whats up with the mirror he says before you can speak
"Brulee has the Mirror-Mirror Fruit shes also an officer."
"Ohh makes more sense now haha" You laugh and flinch as a woman slightly taller than you woman comes out of the mirror.
"Hello big brother! Your back finally!" Your assuming she was Brulee.
"Hello Brulee nice to see you again and yes im back. We were in Skypeia for a month and a half courting. Were here now courting for another month and a half. Meet (N) The Electric God, Queen of Skypeia. (N) meet Charlotte Brulee my younger sister."
"Your courting now?! Wow I cant believe Mama picked you for an arranged marriage. How are things going between you both? I see your allready at holding hands."
"I like her a lot Brulee. Mama will turn us into an arranged marriage after courting yes. Things between us are good right (N)?" He raises an eyebrow seemingly unsure at you. You nod
"I like him a lot as well and yes things are going good between us." You respond as Brulee puts her hands up to her face in awh.
"Im so happy for you big brother! Its so nice to meet you (N). Im so glad to know that he will be marrying such a sweet woman who understands him." She says
"Its so nice to meet another one of his close silblings~" You coo shaking her hand smiling.
*Ring Ring*
"Excuse me I have to take this" You and Katakuri nod.
*Clicka*
"This is Brulee."
"-----------------"
"Yes Mama im coming"
*Clicka*
She turns back to you both saying
"Mama needs me so I have to go now. Im happy for you both though! See you later." She enters through the mirror and dissapears. You put a hand to the mirror feeling it be soild in ah. Turning to Katakuri you say
"Shes so cool Kata-Kun thanks for introducing me to her and the others so far!" Smiling at him he replies
"Im glad you like my siblings since your going to be their sister in law soon."
"Well whats not to like?" You retort as he asks you
"Could you teleport us to in front of the castle please?"
"Sure anything for you Kata-Kun" You reply with the tips of his ears turning red as you teleport to in front of the castle doors gaining stares from some of Mamas other children you assume. He leads you into the castle eventually running into one of his siblings.
"Smoothie can we talk for a minute?" Katakuri asks as she turns to face you both.
"Sure Katakuri. Im assuming she is your suitor for an arranged marriage? More importantly why are you walking around the castle with her? You know suitors and spouses arnt allowed to see everything in the castle." Smoothie says as you stiffen at her coldness which Katakuri already noticed him squeezing your hand gently to reassure you.
"Mama has allowed (N) to be given a tour of all the territories. Smoothie this is (N) The Electric God Queen of Skypeia. (N) This is Charlotte Smoothie my little sister and Second Sweets Commander. Were not engaged yet Smoothie were courting. We were in Skypeia for a month and a half now we are to court for another month and a half here. Be nice Smoothie." He says as you look up at her she says
"Ahh alright then. Its nice to meet you (N). A queen huh? You better treat my big brother good or its your head."
"She treats me very well Smoothie." He defends you then you say
"Its very nice to meet you Smoothie your very pretty. I will continue to treat him well dont worry. Ive already been threatened by other siblings too haha" you giggle as she nods saying
"Well I need to report in to Mama so I better go." She replies as he nods leading you around the castle. Eventually you both toured the entire castle and the sun has set. Teleporting to in front of his mansion he lets go of your hand when opening the door for you.
"Thank you Kata-Kun~ your such a gentleman." You giggle as you both split for the night. You open your portal picking up the basket of huge doughnuts and giving them to the kitchen staff to give to Katakuri for dinner. Your now in his office doing paperwork as the kitchen staff come in with dinner. Tonight it was steak and mashed potatoes with tea, a vegetable plate and chocolate pudding for desert. After eating you work on paperwork for a couple hours then head to bed.
~A Month Later~
Katakuri showed you around all of Big moms territories except for the Seducing Woods. He said that you werent allowed to see it. Which made you confused because he showed you around everywhere else, which made you want even more to go to a place you werent showed. Over the month you hung out with each Brulee the most, then Chiffon, then Pudding, and occasionally Smoothie every once in a while, while Katakuri went back to his usual jobs and was away. You met the majority of his siblings. You and Katakuri have grown closer enough that he calls you his sweet girl or baby girl. You both cuddle in his or your bed still with his scarf on though when theres nothing beckoning both of your attention. Mama has grown fond of your electric skills and teleportation to the throne room. Periodically you would go turn in and get more paperwork from Skypeia. You had given Katakuri part of your vivre card too. Today Katakuri had to go to work at the Ministry of Flour and would be gone for hours. You have decided to go against what he said and go explore the Seducing Woods after all they were just woods right?
"Goodbye Kata-Kun be safe even though I know your strong!" You say hugging him as he pets your head.
"I will be back in a little more than a couple hours my sweet girl." He cups your face in his big hand as you lean into it then kiss his palm. Looking up at him he lets go of your cheek then walks out of the mansion towards his destination. After wasting half an hour working on paperwork you head out of the mansion in the direction of the Seducing Woods eventually you found the begining of it as you explore not realizing that the woods kept changing behind you. After a couple hours of exploring you come to a river cross then continue deeper into the woods taking another couple hours then finally coming to a clearing seeing a gaint biscuit man with many swords?
"Biscuit man with swords thats a new one" you say as he suddenly moves startling you.
"Umm hello biscuit man?" You call out as he yells
"Who are you? Anyone who enters these woods must be asking for a trouble!"
~Katakuri's POV~
After working you made your way home opening the door to your mansion but (N) who usually greeted you at the door was no where to be seen or heard.
"(N)!! Im home!" A servant comes up to you
"Katakuri-Sama your suitor (N) left shortly after you left this morning she hasnt returned yet." Alarmed with a pit in your stomach for what you didnt know why. You just had a bad feeling you nod grabbing your Sky boots froom your room put them on and head out side only to see a bolt of electricity fall from the sky into the Seducing Woods.
'Only one person controls electricity. I told her not to go there! Dammit (N)!' You think to yourself as you activate the Sky boots flying above the tree line towards where the bolt landed.
~(N)'s POV~
"Im Katakuri's suitor im not your enemy!" You yell to the cracker man.
"Ouu ive heard of you. Ive heard your beautiful and they werent wrong. So your Katakuri's suitor well thats just to bad for him think ill have you for myself first then return you." He proceeds forward as you warn him
"Im warning you stay away from me! I just came to explore ill leave quietly!" You send a electric bolt downward landing in front of him as he laughs continuing forward. As you back up but fall backwards on to the ground you see the trees, plants and flowers are alive and evily singing. The trees curl around your ankles and wrists holding you up for the cracker man as you turn into electricity you electrocute the trees. Making you fall from their grasp but too much time was spent getting free as the cracker man grabs your wrists you struggle to get away.
"Dont make me electrocute you cracker man!" You yell as he just chuckles
"Go on try it pretty woman. And the names Charlotte Cracker." he teases. You summon a lightning bolt to you and it lands its mark on him but he just chuckles regenerating his cracker form some of him was toasted though. You had saw part of his face, he had purple hair and pink eyes.
'Dammit I cant teleport either or ill bring him with me. And I cant hurt him or Mama will hear about it. Im not supposed to go into the seducing Woods either. I hope Kata-Kun isnt back yet or ill be punished.' You think as Cracker lets his cracker form fall from him revealing his true form. As he holds your wrists up with one hand now, you off the ground swinging your legs. You summon another lightning bolt attacking him but he regenerates.
"Tsk tsk be a good girl and stay still through this" He says menacingly pinning you to the ground making you cough from the impact. As he slowly starts pulling his pants down you both hear
"Cracker release her at once!" Cracker pulls up his pants then says
"Aw come now Katakuri I was only going to have a little fun with her before returning her, spouses arnt that close here anyways, unless you actually care for this woman" Cracker exclaims chuckling evily
'I cant see him but Id know that voice anywhere its Katakuri! Im in so much trouble too with Cracker and with Kata-Kun' You think as Katakuri punches Cracker backwards a good amount of meters away then helping you up. Cracker laughs creating a cracker armor turning into the previous cracker man you saw eariler.
"(N) teleport home now!" Katakuri yells at you and you obey still holding his hand you teleport in front of his mansion. He turns off the Sky boots landing on the ground letting go of your hand.
"I told you not to go there! You deliberately disobeyed me! Then you almost got raped by Cracker!" he yells clearly upset.
"Im so sorry Katakuri! I just wanted to explore..." You say with tears begging to overflow you looking down.
"You may be a God but your not invincible (N)!" He states and hes right during your and his sparing match in Skypeia your lightning had little effect on him, you had to rely on your combat skills even though you still won it was close since you rely on your electricity heavily and have little muscle mass and dont work out often. Tears started streaming down your face as you kept your head down.
"I said im sorry it wont happen again...." you whisper trying to compose yourself. He brings a couple fingers to under your chin tilting your face up as you pulled away from him, him seeing your tears. As he was about to say something you teleport to your room slamming the doors shut putting a singular golden candle stick holder through the door handles so no one could come in. Then jumping onto the huge bed you let it all out crying for hours before passing out.
~The Next Morning~
Awaking to light spilling into your room you sit up looking at the door.
'The candlestick is still there in the door.
'Good.' You think, undressing into your birthday suit you draw a bath relaxing. Once pruney you get out draining it then drying off changing into clean clothes. Going to the door you undo the candlestick from the door as you hear a knock. Slightly opening the door you see him.
"(N) Im sorry for making you cry yesterday. I was upset at Cracker and took my anger out on you. You didnt deserve that. I know you may be a God but your not invincible. Please forgive me? Did he hurt you?" Katakuri asks
"Im okay. I just have bruises on my wrists....." You say as he gently opens the door entering your room then closes the door. Picking up your hands he examines your wrists.
"I forgive you Kata. But will he tell Mama? Im also sorry Kata-Kun that I disobeyed you."
"No he knows not to mess with me. And I forgive you too (N)." He says
"What about your work arnt you supposed to go in today? Why are you still home?" You ask quizzically
"I called off today. Your feelings are more important to me." You blush as he leads you to the bed taking off his boots your follow taking off yours then slide into bed with him. He holds his arm open for you. You snuggle up to him, head resting on his chest, hand on his abs under the blankets. He wraps his arm around your waist as he pulls you close then tenses up at your question before you can ask.
"So when am I going to be able to see your whole face Kata-Kun?" You ask. He sits up and you do the same.
"You really want to see my face that bad? It is.. only fair to you...." He replies as you shake your head yes.
"Just dont run away promise me?"
"I promise Kata-Kun. Im not a child you know." He nods as you wait patiently he slowly unwraps his scarf from his face to reveal that he has fangs and scars on his face going upwards from his mouth. Him looking at you but you unmoving for a minute.
"Kata-Kun I dont understand why you hide yourself from the world. Your just as handsome as before" You finish saying then up on your knees hug his face boobs to his face. You could tell he was blushing hard. You could feel his heat in your breasts. After a soild minute releasing him, hes still blushing as you ask
"May I kiss you now?"
"My-My fangs though I might hurt you..." He stammers.
"Hehe dont worry so much my silly Kata" You reply
"Allright... just be careful." He crumbles. Sitting somewhat down but eye level to him you lean in and plant a gentle kiss on his lips both of you closing your eyes then depart leaning back opening both of you opening your eyes. (C) eyes meet magenta ones as hes blushing like mad now his whole face is as magenta as his hair. Placing both you hands on his cheeks you say
"Your so cute like this Kata-Kun!"
"Thank you...." He reaches for his scarf about to put it on but you hold his hand with the scarf in it saying.
"Dont hide your face when your with me please Katakuri?" Still blushing he replies
"Im not used to this but alright (N). For you I wont cover my face when with you." He says softly as you caress his cheek with a scar running up his face. Sitting back down you cuddle up to him wraping your arms around him as he wraps his musclely arms around you softly kissing your head. Staying like that for a couple hours eventually he stopped being so tense.
*Ringa Ringa* You both hear a snail phone going off making you jump a little but he saw it coming.
*Clicka*
"This is Katakuri"
"-------------------------------------"
"Okay we will be there soon Mama"
*Clicka*
"Get ready Mama wants you to teleport me to the throne room." He says letting go of you putting his scarf back on then getting his boots on. You sliding out of bed put your boots on then he grabs your hand gently. Teleporting to the throne room you see Oven, Perospero, Smoothie, and Cracker.
'Gathering all of the Sweet Commanders? But for what?' You think as Mama speaks
"Ive gathered you all here to erase Hachiko from the map. They have refused to continue our agreed terms in order to protect their cities. Set sail immediately. (N) Since your not yet part of the family you stay here. Dismissed!" You just nod as you feel a hug. Looking up its Katakuri, wrapping your arms around him he says
"Ill be back sooner than you think (N). Hachiko is nearby at the end of Mamas territories. Itll probably take around four days." You sigh releasing him as he lets go of you.
"Be safe. Ill see you when you get back Kata-Kun" you say as he pets your head.
"Ill see you when I get back." He says as he turns to converse with his siblings. As you teleport to your room in his mansion.
~On The Third Day~
You were in Katas office doing more paperwork for Skypeia when the staff knock on the door.
"Come in" You say melancholy as they open the door setting down dinner for you.
"(N)-Sama you must try and eat something its the third day you havent eaten. Katakuri-Sama will be back in one more day." One servant says as you say
"Thank you for your concern. Ill try. I just miss him so much!" You blurt out causing the staff to look at eachother as you bury your face in your hands. They leave closing the door. As you just move the food around on your plate.
'Just get through today and tomorrow and Kata-Kun will be back soon (N)' You think as you eat a bite of mochi the staff left you. They had been making your favorite dishes in order to coax you into eating but you were to love deprived to eat.
'My mochi man ....Everything reminds me of him. It doesnt help being in his mansion either.' Thinking to yourself as you up and head to bed early slowly falling into a deep slumber.
~Brulee's POV~
You were viewing your mirrors patrolling the castle and various other things when you figured youd go check up on your good friend and your big brothers suitor (N). Headed to her mirror that views her bed you look in at her sleeping in bed. Seeing an unfamiliar figure one even taller than big brother Katakuri with gaint wings one was made of metal the other wing was black and natural. He sticks (N) with a syringe then waiting a minute before picking her up and leaving Katakuri's mansion as your looking through the different mirrors as the gaint figure takes (N) away.
'I need to call big brother immediately! (N) has been kidnapped!' Getting out your snail phone you dial up his number.
*Ringa Ringa* *Clicka*
"--------"
"This is Brulee. I know its late big brother but its about (N)!"
"-----"
"Shes been captured by a taller than you man dressed in all black with a gaint black wing and a gaint cyborg metal wing with a black beak! He stuck her with a syringe!"
"----------!!"
*Clicka*
'He just hung up on me!' You think with a huff.
~Katakuri's POV~
"Shes been captured by a taller than you man dressed in all black with a gaint black wing and a gaint cyborg metal wing with a black beak! He stuck her with a syringe!"
"What? Thats King the Wildfire from Kaidos crew!!" You yell as you click the snail phone ending the call.
*Clicka* After calling up Smoothie, Cracker, Perospero, and Oven everyone was in agreement that they would make Kaidos subordinates pay for invading Mamas territories and especially kidnapping a soon to be spouse of their top Sweets Commander. Though you had told Oven to stay behind and finish up the job on Hachiko which he could do easily. The rest of you set out with your fleets following (N)'s vivre card.
~Four Days Later~
"Katakuri-Sama weve spotted a ship on the horizon!" You take a troops telescope looking through it seeing Kaidos Beast pirates jolly roger.
"Follow that ship!" You yell with authority as everyone adjusted course to follow the ship of the Beast pirates. Eventually your ship and fleet cetches up to the Beast pirates ship and you jump across to their ship attacking the grunts. Easily defeating them a fat wide and tall man about as tall as (N) comes up from under the deck.
"Who are you?!" He asks.
"Where is King The Wildfire?!" You yell calmly holding your lance.
"First who are you!" The fat man yells.
"Charlotte Katakuri from Big Moms pirates and you are? Where is (N)?! What have you done with her?!" You yell back.
"I am Holdem from Kaidos Beast pirates youll have to defeat me if you want that information!" He says as his lion appears and roars. In one quick motion you close the distance between you both and slice through his lions head as he screams falling to the floor.
"Alright alright your much stronger than me! King stopped here but he left not long ago flying carrying a (C) haired sleeping woman in a white and silver robe! He said he had to report to Kaido!" You knock him out with a single hakied punch over the railing into the water then hop over to your ship. "Were headed to Wano!"
~In Wano Before Kaido's Castle~
You, Smoothie, Cracker and Perospero fought your way to in front of Kaido's castle. Then heading into the castle you all fight the grunts making your way up the floors. Finally revealing King and Queen from Kaidos Beast pirates you all proceed with caution as you hear King say
"So you finally made it here Katakuri and youve brought backup. What? Not man enough to fight me on your own?" More like a statement King says as you say
"Where is (N)?" King picks up (N) by her sea prisim chains holding her up while her eyes closed and her head droopy.
"What did you do to her?!" You yell to him as he chuckles then retorts
"I made her go to sleep for a long time but she should be waking up soon as a matter of fact. In perfect timing for her to see me kill you! I wont forgive you both for what you did to me on Skypeia." He yells back. Then drops her to the floor hes standing on, flying to the stages floor where you and your siblings were.
"Queen gaurd my woman!" King yells up to Queen which you grunt at.
"Yea whatever!" Queen responds.
"Seems ive struck a nerve" King says to you as you tch at him. He makes the first move slashing at you with his shitty swordsman skills as you easily dodge then counter with your lance striking him in the back drawing blood. He turns around as you stare intensely watching him with your future sight. Letting him strike first again he swings but misses as you shoot out your mochi from your hand around his legs making him fall as Queen joins the fight but your siblings step in fighting Queen.
"Just focus on your fight big brother!" You hear Smoothie yell to you as King starts hovering instead his feet covered in sticky mochi. You quickly activate your sky boots hovering also.
"So our God gave you the gift of flight interesting" King says as he swings again you dodging striking him behing on knee slashing his muscles drawing more blood. The fight drags on as you glance at Queen whose on the stage floor attacking your siblings. Their working well together however causing lots of damage to Queen as Queen shoots his laser beam at them which they all skillfully avoid.
"Katakuri!!!" You hear looking up to the platform where King and Queen first jumped off of.
~(N)'s POV~
Waking from a deep slumber you flutter your eyes open immediately hearing fighting. Slowly getting to your feet steadying yourself you shake the sleep away as you notice your handcuffed in sea prisim cuffs. Looking over the edge you see Cracker, Perospero, and Smoothie fighting Queen as you turn your view to King you see hes fighting Katakuri.
"Katakuri!!!" You yell as you see him look up to you. You seeing King fly behind him yell to him
"Behind yo-!!!!" Katakuri sliced with his lance behind him meeting Kings sword cutting clean through his sword. The fighting continues as you see Katakuri get cut by Kings blunt sword. Katakuri uses a frenzy of haki punches with spikes on his fists drawing blood from King.
"You wont take my woman away!" You hear King say as Katakuri yells.
"Shes mine! Shes never been your woman!" King attacks but misses Katakuri as Kata is mochi to stick to one of Kings hands with his broken sword. You watching hear a voice behind you.
"Ill unlock you in exchange, youll take me with you." You turn around to see the pirate X Drake. Before thinking about what Mama may say you figured bringing him along it couldnt hurt.
"Okay I accept your terms just hurry!" He nods then unlocks your handcuffs feeling strength return to you. You grab his hand teleporting to the stage floor flashing to Queen kicking his laser beam away saving Smoothie who was at point blank range of his laser.
"Thanks (N)!" Smoothie yells to you. Point blank shooting a massive electrical shot into Queen paralyzing him. Teleporting to King you create an electric sword cutting his black wing off making him scream out in pain. Shooting him with a enormous bolt of electricity you also paralyzing him as he falls to the ground.
"Come on everyone hold on to me and one another! Lets get out of here before Kaido comes back!" Katakuri and X Drake hold onto each side of your hands as Kata-Kuns siblings link hands with Katakuri. Its a good thing that when Katakuri was giving you the tour of Mamas territories he showed you his ship otherwise you wouldnt know to teleport to it. You teleport to Katakuri's ship.
"Hurry lets go!" You yell as Katakuri gives his troops the command to leave calling the other ships giving the other to set sail as Smoothie asks
"Whyd you bring him with us??!" Her pointing at X Drake.
"He freed me I figured it couldnt hurt to have someone whose on the inside of Kaidos crew. Youll tell Big Mom and me all you know right? Or ill drop kick you into the ocean." he holds his hands up in defense.
"Of course Sky Yonko anything you want!" He says as you shout to Katakuri's troops.
"Someone handcuff him with sea prisim cuffs!" The troops dont listen to you as they await what Katakuri will say.
"Listen to (N)" Katakuri says as his troops go get the cuffs, cuffing X Drake. He goes and sits on the deck as Katakuri grabs you and brings you in for a hug tightly. Hugging him back tightly he places one hand on your back and the other on your head.
"Im so glad your safe" he whispers to you as his siblings give you both your own moment of reunion.
"I didnt even know until I woke up!" You say in his chest as he says
"Still it was terrifying when Brulee called saying King kidnapped you. Not only did he invade Mamas territories but he kidnapped my spouse to be." He kisses your head through his scarf.
"Well you all saved me! So thank you" Saying as he releases you but still holding your hand as if youd dissapear.
"Wait Brulee called you? The last thing I remember is falling asleep in bed. What has happened since then?" You ask him as he sighs the commanders ships and fleets leaving Wano now.
"Well Brulee called saying King had injected you with im assuming a heavy sleeping shot and kidnapped you from my mansion while I was with my siblings doing the job on Hachiko. Then we all except Oven set sail and came across a Beast pirates ship a pirate from Kaidos crew named Holdem said King had landed on the ship but had taken off with you before we arrived at the ship. We sailed to Wano after that, fought our way inside to King and Queen when you woke up." He filled you in on what had happened while you were asleep. Hugging him tight again you bury your face in his chest.
"Ive missed you so much Kata-Kun!" Chuckling he replies
"Ive missed you so much also (N). Would you kindly fly my siblings back to their respective ships?" Looking up at him you nod letting go of him. Going up to Smoothie and Perospero you say
"Ill fly you back to your ship" They both just nod as you follow Smoothies directions then fly back after dropping them off. Going up to Cracker and you say
"Ill fly you to your ship Cracker"
"Oh is that an inventation? Haha you finally come around to me?" Slightly irritated you just hold his hand in his cracker form and fly him to his ship then fly back to Katakuri's ship. Landing on deck your swooped up bridal style and carried to your assuming the Commanders quarters his troops staring. After inside Kata-Kun closes the door and sets you down on his bed. He takes off his boots and scarf as you take off your boots and slide into bed.
"Come cuddle with me" He says in bed as you obey scooting up to him cuddling his side. Leaning up you plant a soft kiss on his lips making him blush.
"Im yours Kata-Kun." Sliding back down putting a hand on his abs, he wraps an arm around your waist as your head rests on his chest.
"Its felt like an eternity since I woke up but im still sleepy." You whisper to him yawning as he chuckles.
"Ahh my baby girl go back to sleep. Ill watch over you." He whispers back.
"What about you? You need sleep too."
"Ill eventually fall asleep dont worry my sweet girl. I just am relieved your safe in my arms again." He whispers in your ear making you slightly shiver. You feel a kiss on the top of your head making you giggle.
"Allright if you promise youll get some sleep eventually?" Chuckling he replies
"Okay I promise (N)" He says as he gently rubs your back lulling you to sleep as you clutch his jacket.
~Once You All Reached Whole Cake Island~
Standing on deck with Katakuri you anxiously wait as the ship stops setting anchor.
"Yay were back!" Exclaiming as you hug Kata's waist him chuckling.
"We all have to report in to Mama." Letting go of him you go to X Drake.
"Okay time to get going" You state as he gets up and starts walking off the ship with Katakuri following you both, keeping his eyes on X Drake the entire time. Once to the throne room you see Oven as the rest of you all file into the room.
"I heard from Brulee what had happened. I see you all were successful in bringing (N) back. Oven has allready filled me in on what happened at Hachiko. Now fill me in at what happened in Wano." Big mom states to you all. You wait patiently till its your turn to speak.
"So (N) you brought X Drake back with you as a prisoner? Im intrested in what he has to say." Big Mom says.
After X Drake spills all of Kaidos secrets that he knows about he asks
"Big Mom will you let me join your crew please?" Big Mom looks at you and asks
"What do you have to say about him (N)?"
Thinking for a minute you respond
"Well he released me from my handcuffs so im biased. Haha" You state as she laughs.
"Well since you betrayed Kaido and helped the soon to be spouse of my son Ill let you join. But if you ever betray us itll be your head X Drake!" She warns.
"How kind of you Big Mom of course I shall serve you for the rest of my life."
"Thats what I love to hear!" She laughs
"Unlock him." Katakuri unlocks X Drakes cuffs handing them to a troop.
"Now your all dismissed. Smoothie show X Drake where he is to stay put."
"Of course Mama." Smoothie replies then shows X Drake out of the throne room. Once you and Katakuri leave the throne room he asks
"Mind teleporting us home?"
"Of course Kata-Kun!" Holding his hand you teleport to his office.

Hello! how are you? i hope you have a very nice and pleasant day/night! :D
i have an idea about.. e1610 Miles with a Childhood bestfriend reader, the reader thought that Miles were avoiding them which makes the reader upset when in reality Miles were busy with his duty as a spiderman
And Miles makes it up by comforting the reader and cleared the silly misunderstanding, then they ended up spending their time together again like how they used to be.
hehe! i just thinks its cute, im so sorry if it was too detailed! 😭
“TALK TO ME, PLEASE.”
Earth 1610! Miles Morales x GN! Reader
Author note; AWWW this is so cute omg. I’ll fix the grammar errors and stuff later. I’m on a roll rn
Tumblr media
You — had been friends with Miles since kindergarten, you guys were even friends outside of school. You guys would go to the park together and hang out, always on the swings together. That all changed as life went on and you guys matured, Miles began being distant and it pulled at your heart strings to see it. You guys were close, he knew it something was wrong he could always talk to you, yet he never told you anything.
It started with him answering messages late to him not showing up to plans at all, he didn’t come to the mall when you guys were suppose to go the mall. You had texted him several times, no answer. It dawned upon you to stop bothering him, you yourself started being distant cause why would you text him if he’s gonna answer late or not show that he cares. All kinds of emotions strung out of you but it all came down to you laying in your bed, letting fat tears fall down your face as you sniffled and blew your nose into tissues as you put them in the trash can.
Your phone rang as you couldn’t bring yourself to answer it but decided to answer anyways. Miles voice filled your ear “I’m so sorry for being so inactive with you lately, things have been busy lately”.
You sniffled and you didn’t know if you could talk straight “W-Well, why didn’t tell me that?” you could hear Miles let out a low groan “ill come get you and we can talk about it face to face.” You didn’t even get to say anything before he hung up. You looked a hot mess as you walked to the bathroom and began to clean your face, letting the warm water touch your skin as you checked yourself after drying your face.
Shuffling quickly as you stumbled to your room to change into something presentable, you could hear a knock at your door as you were getting your shirt over your head before finally getting it on and sliding your shoes on with a slight struggle that almost made you fall. “Commingg!!” You say as you make it to the door to reveal Miles as he rubbed the back of your neck. “You ready to go?” Slowly nodding as you stepped outside and closed your door behind you
“Soo, what’s been keeping you so busy that you’ve been ignoring me and acting as if I don’t exist” Miles knew he had to tell you, he told you everything and it hurt him to see you like this as you walked along the bush sidewalk of Brooklyn. “I can’t tell you out in public but when we get somewhere private, I can tell you.”
“Alright.”
You two were in an alleyway and Miles looked at you as you were leaned against the wall, he was chewing at his bottom lip as he came clean. “You know Spider-Man right?” You looked at him “uh huh?” Silence slowly filled the air as the last two words left his mouth “I’m Spider-Man”. You thought he was joking as your brain processed it but it started to make sense, that costume in his closet, the small little marks you use to see on his skin.
“Well, why didn’t you tell me sooner? I would’ve been more understanding Miles”
“I know that, it’s just I don’t wanna put you in danger”
“I guess that’s understandable ” you mumbled as you couldn’t help yourself as you hugged him, you missed him so much. “Wanna get some ice cream, I’ll try my best to make it up to you.” You guys were making your way to an ice cream place as you had got your favorite ice cream flavor as Miles had cookies and cream while you guys strolled the sidewalk before hitting up the park just like old times.
“Aren’t we too old?”
Miles said as you giggled “never too old to have fun” as you got on the swing and he joined on the swing next to you as you guys swung on the swings. “I’m sorry once again” Miles apologized again as you looked at him “I forgive you Miles, just at least text me about it geez”
You and Miles sat on the swings as you watched the sun go down together.

Your Code Is Hard To Read!
This is one of those posts I make not because I think my followers need to hear them, but because I want to link to them from Discord from time to time. If you are a Moderator, Contributor or "Helpfulie" on the PyGame Community Discord, I would welcome your feedback on this one!
"You posted your code and asked a question. We can't answer your question. Your code is hard to read."
Often when we tell people this, they complain that coding guidelines are just aesthetic preferences, and they didn't ask if their code followed coding guidelines. They asked us to fix the bug. That may be so, but the problem remains: If you ask us to fix your code, we can only help you if we can read it.
Furthermore, if there are many unrelated bugs, architectural problems, and hard to understand control flow, the concept of fixing an isolated bug becomes more and more unclear.
In order to fix unreadable code, you could:
eliminate global variables
replace magic numbers with constants
replace magic strings with enumerations
name classes, functions, constants, variables according to consistent coding standards
have functions that do one thing and one thing only like "collision detection" or "collision handling". If your function does two things at the same time, like rendering AND collision detection, then it must be refactored
rewrite deeply nested and indented code to be shallower
rewrite code that keeps a lot of state in local variables into special-case functions
use data structures that make sense
write comments that explain the program, not comments that explain the programming language
delete unneccessary/unreachable code from the question to make it easier to read or from your program to see if the problem persists
My own programs often violate one or more of those rules, especially when they are one-off throwaway scripts, or written during a game jam, or prototypes. I would never try to ask other people for help on my unreadable code. But I am an experienced programmer. I rarely ask for help in an unhelpful way. Almost never ask for help in a way that makes other experienced programmers ask for more code, or less code, or additional context. I post a minimal example, and I usually know what I am doing. If I don't know what I am doing, or if I need suggestions about solving my problem completely differently, I say so.
Beginner programmers are at a disadvantage here. They don't know what good code looks like, they don't know what good software architecture looks like, they don't know how to pare down a thousand lines of code to a minimal example, and if they try to guess which section of code contains the error, they usually guess wrong.
None of this matters. It may be terribly unfair that I know how to ask smart questions, and beginner programmers ask ill-posed questions or post code that is so bad it would be easier and quicker for an experienced programmer to re-write the whole thing. It is often not feasible to imagine what the author might have intended the code to work like and to fix the bugs one by one while keeping the structure intact. This is not a technical skill, this is a communicative and social skill that software engineers must pick up sooner or later: Writing code for other people to read.
If your code is too hard to read, people can't practically help you.
It gets worse. Unreadable code is sometimes unreadable because it is un-salvageable. It is hard to understand because there is nothing to understand, it would not work, and you need to go back to the drawing board.
Defensive Responses
This is not where the problem ends. Often, after a couple of rounds of back and forth, after questions like "Well, you say there is a bug, but can you tell me what you would want the code to do in the first place?", or "Is this a class or an instance? If it's supposed to be an instance variable, could you give it a lowercase name?" or "Could you give that variable _obj a more descriptive name? It looks like you are assigning different things to this variable in different parts of your loop. Perhaps you could use two variables with different, more descriptive names", you see a defensive response. The original question asker is not interested in making code easy to read, just in making it work. As I explained above, this is a confused way of thinking, because ill-posed questions and unreadable code make it difficult to impossible to make the code work, or to even understand what making it work would look like.
"Style is irrelevant." – This is by far the most common one. Since coding style, comments, variable names, and even re-factoring code into smaller functions do not affect the output, and thus not the correctness of the program.
"I asked for help with bugs, not style." – This is a variation on the first one. As long as there is no concrete and discrete bug, style feedback and questions for clarification can be discarded.
"This is too much work." – The original poster explains that making the code more readable is too much work for them, and fixing the bugs would be easier for others.
"Nobody will see the code anyway" – Nobody will see the code of the finished product, so it's irrelevant. Sometimes there are variations like "We aren't graded on code quality, only correctness" or "This is for a class project, nobody will depend on the code, so we don't need robustness."
"This is just throwaway code, it doesn't have to be good." – Like the previous one, this is frustrating to read because somebody posted the code on a forum for other people to read and asked them to understand it, and then said he doesn't care if it's readable or debuggable.
"I asked you for help." / "I am asking the questions here." – The original poster refuses to answer questions, because he asked, he expects answers, not questions in return.
"Don't blame me, I didn't write it" – We have completely left the realm of correctness and style now. The poster knows the code is unreadable, or doesn't make sense. He tried to protect his reputation. But he doesn't like the tone of the responses. Its not his fault the code doesn't make sense. It's not his fault if it doesn't work. Common variations are "This must be correct, it was the accepted answer on StackOverflow", or "I copied this from a tutorial", or "Don't blame me, this was written by GitHub Copilot". Often part of the problem is that the code has different parts written in different styles, or uses different data structures in different places, and both parts could benefit from a re-write to make them more consistent with each other. At other times the problem is that the code from the book is "correct" for certain purposes from the book, but not really suited for the problem at hand.
"I apologised already" – The poster is frustrated because he said "I am sorry I am a n00b" or "I am sorry for my bad English" already. Then somebody said his code is unreadable or his prose makes no sense. The poster sees readable code, or at least code that is readable enough to understand what the idea was, as a courtesy, as a social custom, not as something necessary to make the whole question and answer thing work. The same goes for a firm grasp of English. The poster apologised already that his English is bad, and you should just see past it. Dealing with this is especially difficult, because Q&A is framed as some kind of status game, and the poster is trying hard to save face already. Push-back will make him feel like he is losing face, and he will only get more defensive.
Causes
So where does the problem begin? Why do people write unreadable code, post it online, and get defensive? I think the answer is a combination of programming skill, social skill, and simplistic mental models.
Software Engineering is Difficult: Obviously, one root cause is that beginner programmers can't already write readable code from the start. Writing readable, well-factored code that is easy to debug, re-use, and adapt is something that comes with experience. Writing code for other people to read can only be learned after one has learned to write code.
Magical Thinking/Limited Cognitive Empathy: The most common and most direct cause of this phenomenon – the refusal to help others read your unreadable code – is not the unreadable code itself. It is the belief that it should be easy for experienced programmers to understand the structure of and intent behind a piece of code, even if the person who wrote it didn't. If you see software as basically magic, and don't see computers as soulless automatons that do what they do because they are built that way, then this is an easy trap to fall into. A variant of this works for language. If somebody is bad at English, or bad at the technical jargon needed to ask his question, he will often think that the question he thought up in his native Klingon was perfectly well-formed, and that other people should have no trouble reading his words, because they also think in Klingon, so they would translate it into a question that makes sense anyway.
Status-Consciousness: Many beginner programmers feel the desperate need to distinguish themselves from other beginners, and if they have been learning JavaScript for two moths now, they want to be seen as real programmers, not as children who play with Scratch and build Redstone contraptions in MineCraft. They want to be taken seriously. This reminds me of a five year old boy who stretches out his arm and tells me he is THIS BIG, and he is already FIVE, going on SIX, and he will go to SCHOOL soon.
Naive Mental Model of De-Bugging: Every program has a certain number of discrete features bugs, and when you remove all bugs, you end up with a program that works. This is of course nonsense. You can write a program that has an indeterminate number of bugs, or a program that implements an algorithm that doesn't quite work, or a useless program, or a program that does random nonsense.
With any luck, sooner or later, programmers will learn the technical side, and the social and collaborative side of software development.

masterlist | previous | next
Tumblr media
The pregnancy wasn't easy, nor were her cravings, but Heeseung always managed to do everything she told him to do or get, even if it was ridiculous, like cooking her spicy noodles and feeding them to her little brother because she wanted to see him eating well. Time flew quickly as the twins were born several months after their graduation. It was indeed hard to be first-time parents, especially to twin boys, but they stuck through and learned how to navigate parenthood despite the struggles. The pregnancy was hidden from Yn's parents for the sole reason that her mother didn't like Heeseung for her daughter. Although she told her little brother, Sunghoon, about the news of her pregnancy and the birth of the twins, He was ecstatic to meet the twins and to become their uncle. Heeseung's parents were there throughout the entire journey and never once left their side. She was beyond grateful to his parents for being so loving and caring towards her throughout the years, and she couldn't thank them enough for the things they had done for them. The happiness bloomed even more after he asked her the question, to which she quickly said yes. This was the happiest she ever was, from the birth of her twins to marrying her first love. She couldn't ask for anything more and wished for this happiness to continue. But good things always come to an end when her mother learns about her marriage to Heeseung, and on top of that, she didn't know they had conceived twins prior to their marriage. She was angry not only at her daughter but at him as well, not only for hiding the marriage but also the twins. This is when everything started to fall apart.

Hi Hi!
Can you do a Norm Spellman x male! (Or gn!) omaticayan!reader?
(I genuinely haven't seen any norm fanfics and I'm so sad about it. )
Have a wonderful evening<3
norman spellman x gn!reader.
Tumblr media
◗pairing's :: norman spellman x gn!reader.
◗ warning's :: tiniest avatar 2009 spoilers.
◗ author's note :: this is my first time writing a gn!reader, so their might be errors on how i referred the reader to. if you see any mistakes, please point it out, ill fix it right away<3 might write another norm spellman post too bcs i don't really like this one<\3
Tumblr media
"What's that?" You peered over Norman's shoulder as he flipped over a ginormous book. He turns at you, looking at the side of your face as he was also confused. "It's a book. I thought you knew what those are?" He questioned.
You were another na'vi from the Omaticaya clan, a friend of Neytiri, Jake's mate. You learned the english language with Neytiri back when sky-people hadn't attacked the clan back then, and you've learned a lot from Kìreysì, who was also known as Grace Augustine.
Like other Omaticayas learning from her back then, you loved the woman and even called her your closes friend. You've never blamed her for what happened, and you even forgiven her unspoken apology.
You awed at the sight of the smooth, white papers, finding interest in it. "Oh, a book! Kìreysì taught me about this, but I kind of forgot." You chuckled nervously, sitting beside Norman. He notices your gaze on the book, and decides to give it to you.
Norm noticed how you sometimes stare at things you find interest in, and it gives you the curiosity and urge to learn more about it. You smiled at his actions, grateful you didn't have to ask to let him know.
Your eyes scanned the english dialog written on the pages. Some were far too deep for you to understand, but some you found familiar with. You flipped over the page, being extra careful with the object as you were scared you'd accidentally rip it.
You let out a sound similar of a coo when you saw the pictures of technologies plastered on the book. You pointed at one of it, and looked at Norman. "I know these, I saw you bring one here!" You smiled.
Norman fondly smiled at your speech, happy you're making bigger progress. "Yep, but if you see someone else bring it, it means danger. Okay?" Your ears twitched at the sound of the word, and suddenly you felt numb.
"Danger?" You frowned, "Why dangerous?" Your head tilted, confused. Norman licks his lips slightly, slowly forming his words in a nicer way to explain to you.
"Well, (nickname). These technologies aren't really safe, and they can harm you. It can even kill you," he notices your ears dropping down at his forwardness, but he continues. "These people carrying these are bad. They're not here to make friends, and they're only gonna harm you. You know about sky-people, don't you?" You nodded at his question.
"I'm one of the sky-people, but my human body is connected to an Avatar body right now, that's why I dont look human."
You frowned, "You're not sky-people. You're far more different from those cruel demons." You stated, brows furrowed as you were upset by his words.
"But I am sky-people. I'm human." You incredulously shook your head as he continued to tell you he's a sky people. You obviously knew about the man being human, and his body being connected to a na'vi Avatar. But you'd never put him in the same category as those merciless demons.
You liked Norman because of who he was, and how he was so different from the species he was related to. You even had to admit that you even had a soft spot for him.
"So you think I'm na'vi?" You also shook your head again at that question. Norman looks at you, confused as to what you're getting at. You noticed his look, and decide to explain yourself. "I know you're not na'vi, and i know where you came from. What I'm saying is that I don't consider you as those demons, because you're different than them."
"I'd rather shoot myself in the leg with an arrow than describe you in the same category as those creatures. You're far more than them, Norm." You grasped his hands with your own, watching as a small fond smile crossed through his face.
"Please don't shoot yourself in the leg."
You hummed, booping his nose with your pointer finger. You sat beside him, your shoulders leaning against his as you leaned your weight on him. "Dou you wanna go ikran flying with me?" You perked up, watching as he closed the book her was holding and placed it back inside his bag.
"Alright. But don't you remember the last time we did that?"
"You almost fell, yes. But that was partly your fault, you weren't holding on to me." You frowned, vividly remembering how the second Norman wasn't holding onto you, he was almost pushed off your Ikran's back.
Norman shrugged at your words, "i guess you're right." He admits, outstretching a hand out for you to take, hoisting you up fom the log you were both sitting on. You cheered happily, holding his hands as you lead him to the direction Hallelujah mountains were.

— just some random scenario of my favorite boy
Tumblr media
The cold seeps into the thin cloth of your cardigan. The heater was of no help since it broke down earlier. Folding it flush around your body for the nth time today, you rush towards the printer, almost tripping on your own feet. You gathered everything in a rush, muttering curses under your breath, almost dropping the stack of papers.
Never had you cursed someone off far more than you did with a coworker. Your grandma would be truly petrified if she was still alive at how vulgar her precious granddaughter had become over such trivial matters. She’ll understand… hopefully.
For several weeks, that coworker of yours had tenaciously turned down the heater despite the many complaints of those occupying the room. For what reason, they could not even begin to bother thinking of it. At some point, a few of them in the room had grown tired of having to stand up every time to adjust the heater— yourself being one of the few.
But not everyone felt the same, some had chosen to emulate his energy by only lowering the temperature as he sat down and could not stand from the piles of paperwork sitting in front of him. For hours on end, they battled for who would hit the button last. The never-ending competition between the ones who preferred the obnoxiously cold temperature and not— well it’s actually just him vs everyone else— had caused the button on the unit to malfunction.
This had forced everyone to work in the extreme cold as the repairman had called back in to say that he would only be able to come in a few days after the whole stunt occurred; on Wednesday next week, he said. Even though they could fix the machine by themselves, it wouldn’t start up again.
This whole ordeal had even caused some minor illnesses to the others in the past two weeks due to the constant changes in the room temperature. Select employees choosing to work remotely since their work does not necessarily require them to show up at the office.
However, as the day went on, your work pile seemingly not getting any less, you slowly became thankful for the cold. Mentally apologising to the man in your mind for the very bright words you’ve used earlier as the cold was indeed helpful in its own way. It really helped in reducing the ever-growing drowsiness that crept in your every blink.
The entire week has been a whirlwind of meetings and calls, and apparating and running from one end of the building to the opposite had become a norm. Barely giving you any time to sit down and take a breath.
Scanning the papers for any errors, you then proceeded to file them in a folder to be handed to the logistics department Monday morning. Pinching the bridge of your nose and landing a big slap on both of your cold cheeks, startling the remaining people in the stalls surrounding you at the loud sound it emitted. You take a glance at the time on the small clock on the far left of your table and see that it’s only around a quarter to 5.
You quickly proceed to check if there is anything still left to do and seeing that there is none. A few minutes of rest should do the trick, you think not wanting to have a repeat of yesterday when you went home with your eyes drooping already, almost causing an accident because you had crossed the road with no mind to your surroundings.
Thank the heavens that you were able to catch the midnight train.
Sitting upright for a second to stretch your arms above you and then slumped in the chair. Throwing your head back, rubbing the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes.
Tumblr media
You must have fallen asleep sometime after you took her break, seeing as it’s already past 8 on the clock when your eyes flutter open. Still a bit disgruntled from your heavy sleep, you simply stared off at the dark surface of the ceiling with your head still laying on the headrest of your chair.
Making up for the short hours of sleep you had reluctantly allowed yourself the past week. You stare outside the huge window, turning to lean your cheek on the headrest. The sun has fallen early giving way to the night, with countless bright dots that littered the sky. The moon along with the city lights illuminated the otherwise dark office in an ethereal glow.
“Miss Y/LN, what are you still doing here?”
A low but authoritative voice makes you jump on your seat, almost sliding down the chair. If it weren’t for your fast reflexes which made you instinctively hold on to the table, your bottom would be glowing red for the whole night.
That would have been another addition to your ever-growing list of things that went wrong this week. You swivelled on your seat and whip your head in the direction of where the sound came from, “Fucki-”. Slapping your hands over your mouth, eyes widening as you finally see who it was.
His body was cast by the faint warm amber glow of the outside city lights. A being that you had grown accustomed to for the past two months of working directly for him. Hovering around you at all times, brushing against your affinity. His face has become familiar for way longer, staring at him with little peeks during meetings, when you were still under Sky, his previous secretary.
Hadn’t he already left the building hours ago? You remembered seeing him at the parking lot after dropping off something. It was around 4 o'clock then, a bit earlier than his normal off time, but you had dismissed it as him being tired after the hectic week everyone had been subjected to.
Not a single person had been exempted from the busy week, including Remus himself. But today is considerably an easy one for him since his schedule only consisted of handling the paperwork of his latest mission with a rally of Voldemort’s followers.
Remus raised his eyebrows at you, seemingly shocked by the sudden shout that was cut off. You shake your head and stood up, bowing right away.
“I apologise, Sir. I was just bit startled when you called. Could I help you with anything?” You say with a tone of respect, oblivious to the nest like-hair of yours from the hurried bow.
He blankly stared at you before turning his head side to side, shifting the bag he was holding to his right hand. “I was just about to leave. I saw a faint light from your table which was why I decided to check.”
Your eyes swept over the entire room as he said so, it really was only you left in the office now. The others have probably already left shortly after you had slept. Why didn’t they bother to wake you up, you think to yourself.
“Fix your things, Y/N. I’ll drop you off at your place since it’s already dark out.” a strict instruction left his mouth as he swung around, pivoting on his heel as he left the room. Not leaving you any room for discussion.
You scramble to gather all of your belongings, hastily throwing them all in your bag. Almost tumbling as you slipped your heels back on, you rush to follow him, fixing your hair as you catch a glance at your appearance in one of the glass windows.
“Mr. Lupin! I could just call for a taxi. You don’t have to bother driving me all the way back, my apartment’s way too far.” You call out, your voice an octave higher in order for him to hear you.
Screw those long legs, how had he already walked this far ahead?
After being appointed as his secretary, you have completely halted any form of exercise in your daily routine. Running around all day trying not to lose him while also simultaneously taking note of everything he’s saying was more than enough.
He ignores your call, pushing the elevator button down to the lobby. Leaning your hands on your knees, panting heavily after catching up to him. He doesn’t seems to be bothered by your panting, eyes still staring straight ahead. If he were to have a laser shooting out his eyes, there would be a clean tiny hole formed in the elevator doors right now.
“Oh, before I forget, please clear my schedule for the entire 1st week of June. I will be leaving for Osaka to visit a friend.” He curtly says, glancing to his side to see if you got it.
Once again, the strong urge to push him through the glass windows of the elevator creeped on you. This man must think that abruptly cancelling schedules must be so easy.
You inwardly sigh, another day of bearing the numerous insults and annoyance of those with appointments, long hours of trying to alter and rearrange everything for when he comes back.
Feeling his eyes on the side of your face, still waiting for your confirmation, you give him a stiff nod and your best smile— which is most probably a straight line.
The metal doors slide open and the two make their way outside. You wave goodbye to the night watcher, mirroring the smile he gave you. You hear someone clear their throat, looking straight ahead in your boss’ direction. Remus, similar to what he did at the elevator, was holding the doors wide open allowing you to swiftly slide out after him.
Tumblr media
The cold breeze sends goosebumps down your spine. The click clacks of their shoes and loud exhales are the only sound that comes from both of them. Silently making their way to his car parked out front, save for the late-night city noises. There was still no response garnered from him from your earlier statement, fixated on his phone as they walked.
He opens the door to the passenger’s side for you with his hands over the door frame, “Get in.”
Stepping in, sneaking a glance at his side view, seeing his eyelashes flutter after a strong wind gushes by. You didn’t expect him to suddenly look at you, swinging your legs inside the car. You feel your heartbeat increase, the unusually fast thumping rhythm sending heavy pangs to your chest. Something that has become a common occurrence over the past two months with every time his brown eyes make eye contact with your own pair.
Each time his eyes make contact with yours, all else that you could see blurs and all that’s left is him. The man has never shown any sort of emotion as he did so you often wonder why you even get flustered by it. Always a blank slate behind those glasses that he wears.
Patting your cheeks, trying to quickly get rid of the heat that permeated through them before he joins you in the car. You tuck your hands into the pockets of your blazer after hearing the sound of the door opening.
His dark, blank eyes stir towards you, his hands quickly fixing your seatbelt. In your shock and embarrassment at completely forgetting to buckle yourself to the seat in your flustered state, he starts to drive, not even the slightest bit affected by his actions like you were.
Tumblr media
Silence shrouds the air inside the car, a suffocating quietness that a needle dropping will be heard. A question bites at your tongue, pushing for itself to be said out loud. You try to swallow it down but with every second that you feel your ears strain at every noise, the more it tempts you.
Forgoing your initial question, “You could drop me off by the corner near my house.”
He settles back into a comfortable position, without moving his eyes away from the road, “No, I'm already driving you anyway. Why would you wanna still walk?”
You search in the depths of your brain for any excuse, “I still have to buy something at the convenience store nearby. I don’t want to make you wait.”
He taps his fingers on the steering wheel in a fluid motion. Praying that he won’t insist and just let you walk home alone, you unconsciously let out little “please’s” under your breath.
He pulls to a stop next to a 7-Eleven. The little you dances in circles inside your mind, rejoicing at the fact that Remus hadn’t pressed further.
You bite your lower lips to control the smile that was carving its place on your face. You hurriedly took hold of your bag and was about to place your right hand on the door latch, waiting for him to unlock the door. Moving to unbuckle your seatbelt with great speed.
“What are you gonna buy?” The question catches you off guard, halting your movements.
“Oh! It’s nothing, some food for dinner and maybe a drink also.” Waving your hand at him. You let out a sigh of relief when he nods. “Alright.” proceeding to unlock the door, allowing you to step outside in the cold.
You take a big breath, turning your head to thank him for the ride. Letting out a gasp, you uttered his name in surprise.
“Are you that hungry already? I wasn’t even done with what I was saying. Anyway, here's a jacket, it’s too cold out here.” Talking to you with a faint smirk on his lips that you almost missed.
He closes the door behind him, jogging to your side. Extending his hand so that you could hold his wallet before he went behind you. Feeling a flush on your cheeks again when he assists you in wearing the garment.
Remus leads the way to the remaining lit-up building in your neighbourhood. You nod at the cashier who greets them, eagerly making your way to the ramen section.
An exasperated sigh leaves you at the thought of spending more than your usual allowance all because of a stupid lie. The excuse of buying from here was only supposed to be a way to get him out of your hair.
You really should’ve thought about it more and did not take the first thing that came to mind. God, this is so annoying.
Grabbing the first one you see and turning on your heels to search for Remus. You stroll along the aisles, humming along to a song you heard on the radio earlier, grabbing cheese bread as you do so.
Just as you turn the corner, you find yourself taken aback when the items are suddenly snatched from your arms. Shifting your eyes to the perpetrator ready to rattle their ears for their insolent attitude.
You are greeted by the sight of a brunette man’s tall figure, grabbing some more items as he passed by as you had done. Jogging after him when your eyes catch his hands about to pay on the counter, “Hey! I could pay for those myself.” a loud shout came from you when you reached him.
He simply stares at you with his eyebrows furrowed and looks down. You also looked down, confused as to why he suddenly did so. You were then engulfed in internal panic when you spotted your hand gripping his forearm. You hurriedly pull your hands back to your side and avoid Remus’ eyes.
Settling your sight on the woman in front of you two, a small woman probably a college freshman with long brown hair that cascaded down her shoulders and dark eye bags. Giving her a sheepish smile, before playing with the hem of your sleeves.
The weight on your shoulders grew with your self-inflicted embarrassment. From the corner of your eye, you see him proceed with paying for the rest of your items.
Tumblr media
Thanking the young lady, you both walked out where the cold had settled down to a comfortable breeze. Right as the park comes into sight, you see him shuffle around with the plastic bags in his hands from the corner of your eyes.
Grabbing two of the bottles inside the plastic bag, he gives one to you after loosening its cap. “You mentioned that your apartment’s nearby right?” you nod, a bit shocked at how he still remembered something that had only been mentioned in passing.
“Let’s take a walk to your place if that’s fine with you. I feel like my legs are about to release creaking sounds after sitting all day in the office.”
You lead the way, taking a sip of your drink. A milky but carbonated substance made its way down your throat, a tingling sensation following.
Surprised by the sudden feeling, you take a second look at the bottle. “It’s a carbonated milk drink, my sister likes it a lot so I thought maybe you would too. The both of you have a lot of similarities with food.” You feel a small smile adorn your face, trying to control the bounce on her steps after hearing that.
Taking another gulp of the drink, you stare up at the sky. The night sky hangs overhead in hues of blacks and blues. You decide to keep your mouth shut, letting silence envelop the air surrounding you.
You keep your eyes straightforward, flickering to the side every once in a while. After some time, the feeling of being watched prickles at your skin. Only moving your eyes, you catch the brunette’s eyes on you with an unusually soft expression painted on his face.
His eyes catch yours and hold them for a moment. He mutters something that you weren’t able to get, “What did you say?” you inquire, genuine curiosity filling her. “It’s nothing.” He shakes his head, subsequently stuffing both his hands inside his coat.
Your lips stretch into a soft smile before silence takes over the space again, a much more comfortable one now. When did he suddenly let his walls down in the short time since they left the store and now, you think. Not that it’s anything to complain about. It’s just a first for you since the guy has never let his cold stoic mein go even with his family— well, there was this one time when his friends came over to visit him in the Ministry. It was the first time, since you started working with him, that you saw anyone pull a reaction with just their appearance.
“You’re infuriating, you know?” You choke on your drink, face contorting akin to perplexity.
Averting your sight back towards his direction, seeing him also do the same but in avoidance of your gaze instead. “What do you mean?” You shift your gaze from his lips to his eyes and watch as he takes his time in his search for the words to explain himself.
“For starters.” He begins, defeat and nervousness laced around his tone of voice. “I hate seeing you. “
With your eyes locked in on him, you almost tripped at his response, fortunately you were able to catch your balance. You give him a wide-eyed glance. He just keeps giving you a shock tonight and your head already feels like it is on the verge of bursting.
The two of you make eye contact and there must’ve been something in your eyes that made Remus’ widen. Quickly shaking his head from side to side, extending his arms in alarm.
“No! Whatever you’re thinking, that’s certainly not at all what I meant.” You fake a cough, pointing at a bench a few steps away from them. He fervently nods, ushering you to sit with his hands unconsciously making its way to the back of your shoulders.
You take a seat on the left side of the tiny bench, shuffling to give him enough space to sit. Seeing him still on edge with his mistake, you give him a small smile as reassurance to continue. “The first time I saw you, a quiet curiosity became planted in my chest and from there on, I knew it was only a matter of time before it piled up on me.”
“And as I was saying, I hate seeing you because every time I do, my brain stops working as corny as it may sound. Even just a glimpse of your shadow, I’m distracted by everything you do; your every breath, especially the ones you do when you find something hilarious, that one short exhale after not being able to control yourself.” He pauses, letting out a chuckle.
“Every single tap of your fingers when you’re waiting for me, how your feet bounces whenever your lunch tastes good, hell even the slightest tilt of your head I notice. All that and so much more of you flash through my head like a bloody revolving lantern and I have no fucking idea why it’s happening. I could write up a 10-page word document of things I’ve noticed in only two months of personally knowing you and that would not even be enough.” His voice increased with every word.
He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees, pausing from his rant. For the first time in a while, you find yourself at a blank, shocked at not only how he has allowed you to see him in such a dishevelled state but also at each word that slips from his mouth.
“Then, as much as I didn’t want to, I asked Sirius about this– whatever this event is and guess what he says? I’m in love with you! So then I’m sitting there, mouth gaping open because I had no idea why he thought of that.” He has stood up somewhere in between his words, arms raising and swinging around as if he’s trying to prove a point.
You come to be once again when he continues after a short pause, taking long and deep inhales and exhales. “Since he has proved to be useless, I decided to go ask James. Maybe he could give me an answer that makes sense which wasn’t all that helpful anyway since that guy has been helplessly in love with Lily since forever, so of course he would think the slightest interest would mean that I liked you already. But then, I’m sitting in my office, thinking that maybe, just maybe, they’re right you know and I should just accept it. So now I’ve sat there for what seems to be like hours until the sun’s gone down just second thinking everything, stupid visions of you flying across my mind with every second that passed.”
Turning his head at you, offering a small pathetic smile. “Sorry.” He roughly drags his hands down his face. “I just dumped this all on you.” He ends with a bleak voice.
You purse your lips into a thin line, trying to find the right words, not wanting to say something that would make him any more smaller than he looks right now.
Remus sneaks a glance at you, hoping to hear even an utterance from your lips. Praying that you won’t think worse of him. After all, how could anyone think he was being genuine when all he’s done was be indifferent towards you?
You lower your head, pondering on your words, how to perfectly articulate a response. Something that you find hard since you don't even know how to begin, your mind was completely in shambles.
The man surprisingly knew you well since he was right on the line. All that’s been running through your mind was the thought that Remus was no doubt playing with you.
There was just simply no other reason as to why he’s saying all these. A myriad of possibilities caged you in. Maybe he’s bored from all the auror and war talks and needs some sort of entertainment in his life, or it might be because of all the conversations of his colleagues that have annoyed him to no end for the past few months.
“Y/N?”
You’re pulled out from your trance when you hear someone call your name. Feeling his piercing gaze at the side of your face, you couldn’t find it in you to look up and meet them. Knowing that you would be a babbling mess with your thoughts all jumbled and a complete and utter shamble.
You drop your head to the palm of your hands, fingers slowly clenching tightly on thick strands of your hair. You feel a faint sensation resting against your arm, almost hesitatingly.
The cold fingertips barely grazed your arm, attempting to pull your hands away from its tight grip on your hair, before pulling it away.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done this. Just forget what I said— forget this whole night actually. You probably don’t even believe me, I mean, who would?” He mumbles the last part to himself but you were still able to hear it.
From your peripheral view, you see him leap to his feet. “We should go, I took too much of your time already. You should be resting and not staying out in the cold for any longer.” You glanced up at him, only moving your eyes, and saw him as tense as a rock.
Shaking your head side to side, “Sit down, Remus— Could I call you that?” He nods and follows your heed.
“I should be the one panicking, you know? All this time I thought you had some sort of animosity towards me because I could never seem to make you content with anything. You had me doubting myself, my abilities, I don’t think you have ever missed a chance to give some sort of comment; from how I arrange the files and down to how I spoke with the other people in the office. And now you’re telling me this? I- I don’t know what to say, to be honest with you.” You say, trying to succinctly explain yourself.
“I did?” A surprised tone laced his voice, eyes widening.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to come out that way! I was trying to compliment you on your work, make you grow since I see a lot of potential in you and I didn’t want you to be stuck as a secretary when I know you dream to be an auror yourself. I suppose I should have just not said anything when I’m well aware that type of thing isn’t for me.” His eyes never settled in one place for more than a few milliseconds, refusing to look in your direction, terrified that if he did he would somewhat make the situation worse.
Seeing him like this made you feel weird, an unusual sight. Trying to cut the tension that has formed, you let an amused exhale escape your lips.
“You are in desperate need of some lessons from your friends.” With a soft expression, you place a hand on his jaw, turning it so that he would face you. His electric eyes that usually leave your knees quivering have turned gentle.
The two of you share eye contact and together seemed to have lost the ability to breathe. Not able to force their eyes away. You observe the way he stares at every spot on your face, lingering on your eyes, searching for something.
Seeing his shoulders slump comfortably, you think that maybe he found whatever it was and you find the corner of your lips rising. An act that made Remus’ lips twitch which developed into a grin when you boo his nose.
“I can’t give you an actual response to everything right now because frankly? My brain is a mess right now since this is all so unexpected. I’d rather not say or do something that I’m sure I’ll regret. Maybe after this long weekend, I might be able to get a hold of myself but please don’t hold on to that, I am way too much of an overthinker.” You both giggle as you joke. He simply nods and stands again, now with a look of content and genuine happiness, to offer her a hand. Making joy ripple through her entire being.
“But Remus,” You trail off, catching his attention, “I think you will be happy”
It would be nice to get used to that sight, you think. He looks a lot more carefree, and light— and to be honest younger but let’s not mention that. His face goes flush, evident even in the dark, when he catches you staring intently at him.
You felt like your feet were floating above the ground when you put your hand on his and stood face to face with his chest.
He cocked his head towards the path in front of them, before taking your hands in his and placing them on the inside of his elbows, tucking them safely; giving them a pat. You think there’s no longer debating with yourself anymore about him.

The Fourth | Jeremiah x Fem!Reader
---------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
summary: its the Fourth of July and Jeremiah sees you watching the fireworks with Conrad, he's loved you for as long as he can remember, how is he going to react? is he going to see the situation different than it really is? (belly basically doesn't exist and youre in place of her)
request: yes/no (that was really fast lol)
word count: 1k
warnings: hurt/comfort, angst, fluff, and that's all I can think of!
(not proofread and I wrote this late, ill fix errors later :))
----------------------------------
Jeremiah's pov:
it was the fourth of July night at cousins beach. we had all spent most of the day down at the beach playing drinking games and eating a bunch of food. and all I could do the whole time was watch y/n. only mom knows but I have loved her basically since I was twelve... I stayed home with her for a week while she was sick and I took care of her, and when I got sick two days later she took care of me. I've always seen her as beautiful. even way before this summer. but guess who also did. Conrad. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up going for Conrad rather than me. I mean yeah he's older, taller, mysterious, but he would never truly care for her as much as I do. Conrad likes the idea of someone needing him and wanting him so he will take that to his advantage until he no longer needs it and then he will push them away, and im not letting that happen to y/n. I can take care of her.
y/n's pov:
I was standing down at the dock watching the fireworks out in the distance smiling to myself at how great of a day I had. I couldn't help but smile when thinking back to every time I caught Jeremiah glancing over at me. he's always been the flirtatious type but recently he's been seeming more sincere about it. that's why I think ill always pick jer. he's taken care of me since we were twelve. all the way back to when he stayed home with me when I was sick. I've loved him ever since and have always promised myself to look after him.
I noticed a figure walk up next to me.
"oh! hey Conrad" I smiled in his direction before looking back to the fireworks
"hey y/n/n" he said slightly monotone that made me look back at him
"Is everything alright?" I turned my body to face him completely and tilted my head to get a better look at him
"um, yeah yeah. I just have something ive been meaning to talk to you about."
"what's up?" I look at him slightly concerned
he looks at me for a few moments, seemingly nervous. instead of speaking he only moves closer to me, taking one of my hands in his. I shift uncomfortably, not liking where it's seeming to be going.
don't get me wrong I love Conrad. but I have and will always see him as a brother. my heart belongs to someone else.
before Conrad could get any closer, a firework flies right by the both of us causing me and Conrad to jump.
"um, I uh, I think im going to head back inside. I think im going to call it a night. goodnight Conrad." I start heading back up to the house quickly, wanting to get out of the situation.
"right, um, goodnight y/n" he clears his throat, glancing back down at the ground before turning back.
----------------------------------
once I got back inside I walked upstairs and headed to my bedroom, I walked in the door but stopped and walked towards jers room. I wanted to make sure to say goodnight to him before heading to sleep, and see if he had as good of a day as I did.
"knock knock, its me" I opened the door and peeped a head inside. the lights were off but her was sitting on his bed facing the opposite direction. "I wanted to see how your day was, I had a lot of fun hanging with all of you and I- jer? are you listening?" I walked over and sat next to him, moving his chin so he was looking at me.
"why him y/n" jer said with a tear stained face.
"woah woah jer why are you crying? what are you talking about?" I turned to face him fully and took one of his hands in mine.
"Conrad." he scoffed. "I seriously should've known that it would end up being him. I saw you both down at the dock together" he let another tear fall as he looked me dead in the eyes with so much hurt.
"no no no jer you're seeing this all wrong. I didn't know what was going down back there. I was just watching the fireworks and he came up to me like that. if im being honest I think he had one too many drinks tonight and didn't even know what he was doing himself." I gave him a sympathetic smile as I rubbed his hand softly
" so you didn't kiss him?" he asked as his gaze softened "and you didn't want to kiss him?"
I laughed and placed a hand on his cheek "jer. no I didn't want to kiss him and I definitely didn't. im honestly glad that definite accidental firework went off. "
"yeah uh that's my bad." he glanced down tugging a smile grin
"I thought so.." I smile softly "look, jer. you are honestly one of the sweetest, and most caring people I have ever met in my entire life. since day one. you have always been the one to look out for me and take care of me. no matter the situation you were the one the came to my rescue. I was drunk? you were the dd. I was sick? you took care of me. I was crying over something dumb? you were my shoulder to cry on. someones messing with me? you'd beat them up in a heartbeat. I can go on and on. jer. it's always always been you and I don't know have you haven't seen that. I wouldn't choose anyone else but you." before I could let him get a work out of his mouth I cupped his cheeks and pressed my lips onto his in a soft kiss. his eyes widened in shock before he melted into it, bringing his hands to hold my waist. i pulled away slowly after a few moments and smiled at him.
"will you stay with me tonight" he asked as he rubbed my sides softly
"of course jer." I smiled and laid down with him, my head resting on his chest and his arms wrapped around me holding me close.
"my moms gonna flip when I tell her about this."
"nah honestly I think she sees everything coming." i look up at him. "and probably this too, we both go to her about everything." we both laughed and not long after fell asleep. gosh this is going to be the best summer yet.
