∑ foolish fondness ➛ reo.m

reo was definitely, absolutely, entirely, not jealous.

not when you called this guy ‘cute' 一sure he clenched his fist into an aggressive ball shade, but nothing crazy. not when you dubbed him as you 'bodyguard’一as if reo can't secure you a whole army to watch over you like hawks 24/7.

and definitely not when you called that ‘mister x’ handsome.

Maybe his looks were enough to kill an entire generation, but no, he wasn't jealous.

to be accurate, he was burning alive.

yet reo forced himself to smile, despite the flames eating him to bits, it was all worth it for you. swallowing the lump that was clogging his throat, trying so desperately to not let out a piercing cry when you keep up on ranting about him when he一your boyfriend, was right there!

“he seems fun to be around, I guess.” uttering ever so bitterly, the words left stains of venom on his tongue.

“very, I also feel safe anywhere near him.” you went off giggling, while reo was on the edge of letting the earth swell him down, because witnessing hell freeze over with everyone dancing flamenco would've been something he could cope with more than hearing you say that another man was making you feel safe一and no. he wasn't being dramatic, at all.

“He even scared a bunch of creeps off my back yesterday, isn't he just the best?”

that's all? well, reo could easily ban them from 12 countries. ‘mister x’ has to get his games up.

He also has a large backyard, but that's for another story.

“Sure he is. ‘mister x’ seems like the most interesting guy to ever exist.” he spat out, hands shaking deep in his pockets. At this rate, he thinks he's all ready to cease a running train with one hand.

“just because you refuse to acknowledge his name doesn't mean you can call him ‘mister x’, it's mr fuji.” you pointed out, as if reo had offended you with his misspelling. oh now you were defending him? just marry once and for all一please don't.

“Anyway, I gotta meet him for lunchtime. you wanna tag along?”

to be bland, reo was infuriated. he wanted to be mad at you, but oh一how could he when you looked so happy? with the most enthusiastic smile and he swore he could define preciousness underneath it alone. Unlike him, you never liked to swim between a myriad of people, always drawing a line when it came to your own personal space. so it's safe to say that reo, aside from being your boyfriend, was the first one to be this adjacent, the one that tackled your personal space wholly. then he wouldn't have to worry about sharing you一all for him to love and cherish.

even if it hurts seeing someone mimicking his steps to your warmth, where he wanted to be the one and only there. Even if it meant wounding himself, reo didn't have the strength to stand up against your glee for his own gluttony of your attention.

“of course,” reo would utter undertone, concealing what he had of dreads with a tight smile.

and yet, reo can feel your glances of doubt on him. He wasn't trying hard enough to hide his grimace when the first thing you snatched was a warped up raw meat, was he taking reo’s spot of being the first one on your mind?一and seriously, raw meat? what kind of epoch did this man colonize? when cannibalism was normalized?一 Still, he acted nonchalant. including two warped up sandwiches and just paid with his lips pressed on to a thin line.

Even when the grip on the card was unyielding to the point he might just twist it if it wasn't for your hand to pat him up on the arm一he found himself easing up. just a little. and maybe his heart skipping a beat for the shortest time possible.

halfway walking, reo had to fight the urge to turn around and take a step back. Perhaps cry himself to sleep while he's at it. although, he found it in himself to straighten up. walk by your side with a stiffened shoulders and a heavy heart.

and when you two stopped, a nearby ditch, he figured that you two were in the place一the place his greatest nemesis of all time settled in.

unwittingly, he asks, “Can he fight?”

“what?”

“I asked, can he fight?”

you shot him a look, tilting your head to the side in confusion. “You can say his name, y’know?”

“only if he won.”

you had to palm your mouth, suffocating your laughter. your boyfriend narrows his eyes at you, “what? you think I'd lose?” reo ranted, now you had both hands to stifle your chortle. and he could feel neck crimson sheepishly to a shade of red, whatever it was embarrassment or pure bashfulness under the tune of your laugh.

“Since when were you after someone's blood?” you managed to let out, wiping your fake tears. leaving reo to wonder how you directed to shone like clockwork一 glistening a smile he’d go to war for一dammit, this wasn't the time to act like his usual lovelorn self.

“I am not. but if he wanted to dig a hole for himself, I'd be the last thing he'd see.”

and before you could make out a witty response, a low bark echoes throughout the ditch. deliberate steps of an old dog come to view一if reo may guess, it was a Newfoundland dog breed.

he sees you leaping up to the senile dog as if he was your longtime aibou. ruffling the feather black fur, the animal leaning lazily against your affection. reo almost awed at the sight.

“reo, this is mr fuji. mr fuji, this reo. my boyfriend.”

reo blinks.

“it's.. a dog?” he slips out, ever so hesitant.

“not just any dog, the cutest, most handsome dog in the world.”

Suddenly, he's able to breathe again. He felt like the world's burden just lifted off his chest. He inactively watched as you unfold the raw meat and fed the aged dog. giving it a gentle pat in his head before standing back up to your boyfriend’s side.

“So it was a dog all along.” he acknowledged once again, a relief chuckle came from him as a soothing spring’s breeze.

by his side, you lean onto him till your arms are touching, reo could feel your warmth against him一or maybe that was just his body heating unintentionally. “Is that why you were jealous earlier?” you asked, sloping your head to the side as you observed him. his face painted in the slightest hints of red.

“I wasn't.” he tried objecting, tipping his head to the opposite direction of you.

“you were.”

“woof.”

“see? even mr fuji agrees.”

you knew he was a terrible liar when he was around you, it's always his cheekbones, ears and neck betraying him to unfold the chaste truth. with you squeezing the flesh of his arm gently, eyes keening on him. you were so unfair, you can't pull the ultimatum cunning he cannot find it in his heart to turn a blind eye on.

“So what if I was? Is it bad that I ache to be the only person you could consider?”

there it was, it was a mythical pull一with all his three spies flushing out. “you know that's almost impossible, right?”

“ the only man then.”

“go easy.”

“fine, the only man that'll get eulogized by you.”

“only if it's mutual.”

“trust, it has been biased for a while now.”

with that, you take his hands in yours. weaving farewells to mr fuji, with reo just side-eyed him while muttering something along the lines ‘geezer’ leaving you to question if it was your own mirages playing tricks on you. dog or not, reo will still count him as his rival of all time.

yet when you tend towards him, interlocking your hands as you walk side by side. from the corner of his lilac hues, he could tone your affluent reddish skin when tucking a lost lock of your hair behind your ear. his knuckles would linger on your cheekbones to flavor the warmth till you had to force him away.

reo would observe you for a while before saying, “I won.” circulating to the world, and to himself. with the stupidest, lovesick smile glued to his lips. you ought to kick his leg slightly, while he would let out a long, fake whine. asking you to kiss it better.

and you would, despite the grimacing peers around you two. it was hard to tell the one who fell harder.

#reo... reo... sniff...#blue lock x reader #bllk x reader #reo x reader #reo mikage x reader #reo mikage x you #reo x you

Matchup Event

Matchup for: @woman-simp

Matchups: Elysia, Lisa, Kokomi

Contains: maybe ooc, fluff, nsfw, alcohol consumption (lisa), mommy kink (lisa), impact play (lisa), whipping (lisa), tentacles (kokomi), guided masturbation (elysia), phone sex (elysia), underwater date (kokomi), possessive sex (kokomi), cunningilus (kokomi), marking (kokomi), dacryphilia (kokomi)

A/N: So, so sorry for taking so long! I think this is the longest thing I've written. I hope you like it!

Elysia

╰┈➤ SFW ;

: ̗̀➛ You two are so different, yet so similar at the same time! You complete each other's flaws in all of the best ways, and neither of you can imagine a life without the other.

: ̗̀➛ As much as Elysia wants to wrap herself around you and cling to you at any chance, she's very understanding with your boundaries when it comes to that sort of stuff. Besides, it'll only make your shows of affection that much more meaningful— or so, Elysia says.

: ̗̀➛ She'll definitely be holding your hand 24/7, though! Elysia would either drag you to every interesting thing she sees (mostly boutiques and small food stalls on the street) or squeeze your hand tightly if you're getting overwhelmed by crowds or loud noises.

: ̗̀➛ Elysia doesn't mind when you act "mean" to her. She can easily see through what you're doing, and in fact, she thinks it's cute! She'll act all dramatically hurt, but that's really only one of her many ways to "trick" you into giving her a kiss to make up for what you did.

: ̗̀➛ Whenever you're talking about your interests, Elysia is torn. She just can't decide if she should learn about them to match your enthusiasm or stay uninformed because you are extremely attractive in her eyes whenever you're explaining something you're passionate about.

Dates with Elysia are... spontaneous, to say the least. Most of the time, neither of you are prepared nor do you have anything planned. You and Elysia are just walking aimlessly, stopping across anything that piques your interest.

: ̗̀➛ You don't need to worry about cuddles— Elysia will gladly provide as much of them as you want, and more! She was a bit shy about it when you two first started dating, but now, you've accepted your fate as her personal pillow to hug, lay on, and hold as much as she wishes.

Even on your first date, you were only spending time together as usual before the elf suddenly asked you out. You had no time to prepare, but you would never refuse her. "Ooh, look! I didn't know they had such a cozy cafe in this part of the city!" Elysia suddenly exclaimed, hurriedly speed-walking to what seemed to be a small, homey coffee bar with your hand in hers. Before she can even reach the cafe, she's already talking about going there for your next date until she spots a small stall on the side of the road offering tarot card readings. And then someone selling animal balloons. And then a cute cat. It doesn't take much time until you're getting dragged from place to place. Elysia is like a small kid walking into a store with all of the toys they could only ever dream of, and you have to admit, seeing her all excited has your heart racing and blood rushing to your cheeks.

It's like she's seeing the world for the first time. And it is when she's with you— your presence somehow makes the world that much more of a positive and colorful place in her eyes. Normally, you'd be tired out of your mind from running around so much— and frankly, this is probably the most you've walked in a single day— but Elysia somehow manages to make even the most draining and mundane things enjoyable. You can't imagine wanting to spend your life with anyone else.

╰┈➤ NSFW ;

: ̗̀➛ Elysia is surprisingly more on the vanilla side. Sex for her is more about being vulnerable and open and showing your love for each other. Still, that doesn't mean she doesn't have any kinks.

: ̗̀➛ She's mostly into overstimulating and/or edging, whether she's the one receiving or giving. Being able to give and take away her partner's pleasure as she wishes gives her such a power trip. You're just so cute, all teary-eyed as you beg her to make you cum like you know she can easily do.

: ̗̀➛ Elysia isn't cruel at all, though! Sure, being edged for hours on end might burn, but she somehow makes the orgasm you'll feel by the end of it make all of it worth it.

: ̗̀➛ On that note, Elysia isn't much of a fan of rough sex. She wants to feel loved and safe during it, and she wants the same for you as well. The last thing she'd want is to hurt her precious sweetheart. Light choking and slapping are definitely on the table, though.

: ̗̀➛ Oh, and if you happen to mention that you'd let her use you any way she wants? Good luck because there's no way Elysia would have any need to masturbate when she has such a pretty girl willing to service her on those nights when she wants you most.

: ̗̀➛ Expect endless praise while you're having sex. You're just so beautiful and pretty and gorgeous in her eyes, and Elysia just can't shut up about it! It's not even a conscious decision— she's merely saying whatever comes to her mind.

For the first time in your relationship, Elysia is away. Far, far away.

Her job had an emergency and required her to travel for a week. It took many "fights" (aka Elysia refusing to leave your side, even going as far as to offer to somehow fit you inside of her suitcase), but you finally managed to convince her that what she wanted just wasn't possible.

It's only a week, after all. You've survived a decade or two being single; one week away from your lover isn't going to kill you. Or so, that was what you thought. As much as you didn't want to admit it, you had gotten used to her beaming smile greeting you first thing in the morning. Your days don't seem complete without her by your side. You were missing her. Badly. Hearing her voice only made you miss her touch even more, and the elf was quick to pick up on that. What you had intended to be an innocent phone call quickly turned into Elysia telling you with her voice smooth as honey how to finger yourself. "That's it, pretty girl... You're doing so well for me, aren't you?" You nod, even though you're aware that Elysia can't see with the camera's position. As your fingers start speeding up, she can tell you're close to orgasm. "Turn the phone up, hm? Let me see your face as you cum." As your facial expression contorted with pleasure, Elysia wouldn't want anything more than to come home right this second and give you orgasm after orgasm. Being able to make you cum without even touching you might just be her proudest achievement. "I miss you so bad, baby... I'll make it up to you ten- no, a hundredfold when I get home." She sighs. With most people, you'd think this would be an exaggeration, but Elysia isn't just "most people." She's completely serious, and you know that she's more than capable of fulfilling that promise. Just a few more days. A few more days, and you'll be able to spend as much time together as you want. After all, you missed her too.

Lisa

╰┈➤ SFW ;

: ̗̀➛ This librarian thinks you're the cutest little thing in the world, and she doesn't hide it in the least. Your walk? Lovely. Your sneeze? Adorable. Your eyes? Absolutely delightful.

: ̗̀➛ Lisa isn't crazy for cuddles, but whenever the two of you sleep in the same bed, she's the type to pull you back in for them as soon as you try to get up. If you're a morning person, that's too bad because you don't have any choice but to stay huddled up with her until she eventually decides to wake up.

: ̗̀➛ She calls you a bunch of terms of endearment, mostly using "cutie," "sweetheart," or "darling." At first, this was only Lisa's way of showing her love, but after seeing your flustered reactions, she practically abuses these just to see you blush. She knows the effect she has on you and she takes full advantage of it.

: ̗̀➛ Whatever you're interested in, Lisa is knowledgeable about. She'll easily match how fast you're talking, as she's also just as excited as you are. Conversations where she can talk about these niche topics are rare, and it can't get much better than having them with her favorite person.

: ̗̀➛ Afternoon tea is Lisa's way of rewarding herself with a few minutes of leisure, and she always has them alone. Her inviting you to join her is basically her telling you that just you being there is enough to put her at ease. She'll often play with your hair, running her fingers through your scalp while reading a book.

: ̗̀➛ Lisa prefers to keep her desk mostly clean other than a some books and a tea set, but over time it's gotten filled with all the little gifts and trinkets you've given her. Now there are flowers that she takes very good care of and a framed picture of you two that she can't help but smile at.

Being the more quiet and introverted type, Mondstadt's library seemed to be the perfect place to relax. There are little to no people, and occasionally, you could hear who you assumed to be the librarian humming almost inaudibly from the restricted section.

Whether you're into reading or not, there was nothing quite like listening to the soft voice of this mystery woman. It was hauntingly beautiful, as was her appearance itself.

Lisa was attracted to you, and she made that obvious with every chance she got. It didn't take long before she just decided to outright ask you out to dinner.

You were curious where she'd take you as there aren't many options in Mondstadt, but you didn't expect her to invite you to her house. Most of all, you didn't expect her to take you there as soon as you said yes, but hey, it's not like you have anything better to do anyway. At least, nothing better than having dinner with such a gorgeous woman. Her house is almost as elegant as she is with the classy, yet also cozy furniture along with the relaxing ambient lighting. It's not very organized, but she keeps it clean. The whole place, down to the smell (which was very good, by the way) just screamed Lisa. She'd do mostly everything by herself like lighting the candles and setting up the table, but she'd gladly accept help for the more complicated and time-consuming tasks like cooking. The food is great, and the atmosphere is romantic. You're honestly surprised since Lisa doesn't seem to be the type to put this much effort into dates. Or anything, for that matter. Even her table manners are perfect down to the smallest details. "The night is long. Allow me to use this time to get to know you better, sweetheart." Lisa smiles, pouring you a glass of finely aged wine. As you see your own reflection in the glass, you get the feeling that tonight is going to change the direction of your life.

╰┈➤ NSFW ;

: ̗̀➛ Oh, she's freaky freaky. Instead of asking what she's into, it'd be better to ask what she isn't. She's dominant both during sex and outside of it.

: ̗̀➛ Lisa can be gentle, especially if it's your first time, but if she knows that you can take it then you will take it. Expect to wake up with your body littered with whip marks and hickeys. She generally tries to avoid spots that often show, though.

: ̗̀➛ She'll combine the dirtiest words with the sweetest voice, teasing you for being so filthy and desperate while calling you her sweet angel. She loves seeing your mind turn into mush from the mixture of praise and degradation.

: ̗̀➛ Has a huge mommy kink. Calling Lisa that is a surefire way to get her to bring you to the bedroom and fuck you. Or any surface and location works, really. She's not picky.

: ̗̀➛ Doesn't use strap-ons much. Lisa thinks they're a hassle to put on. She's more than capable of making you squirt with a few careful movements of her tongue and fingers anyway. If anything, she'd much rather use a double-ended dildo or make a strap using her electro vision.

: ̗̀➛ She's an absolute god at aftercare. Massages, refreshments, a fresh bath... anything you can think of, Lisa is prepared to provide, especially after a particularly rough session. You somehow end up feeling lighter and more energized than you did before having sex.

"Already so wet for me, and we haven't even gotten started yet." Lisa chuckles darkly, whipping your ass. The pain makes you yelp and arch your back even more.

As much as you want to grip the sheets, your hands are bound together tightly behind your back. All you can do is squirm and whine helplessly in Lisa's grasp, and you love it. She knows that you do.

"Yeah? You enjoy being a filthy whore for Mommy?" Soft hands gently rub over the spot she had just whipped almost apologetically, until she harshly slaps the same area.

Her free hand grabs onto your hips, and you hear electricity crackling behind you. You don't have to look to know what she's going to do next.

"Do you want it inside of you?" Lisa asks, her tone almost mocking. It's more of an order rather than a question, really. She already knows what your answer is going to be, she just wants to make you beg for it.

"Please, Mommy... I swear I'll be your good girl, so plea- mmpf...!" Your words turn into a moan as you feel the tip rub against your clit, electricity coursing throughout your whole body.

"So cute when you beg all nice for me..." Lisa coos. Her strap is warm and big, the electro making it feel as if it were vibrating as it bullies itself inside of you.

"You know that Mommy can't resist cute little bunnies like you."

Kokomi

╰┈➤ SFW ;

: ̗̀➛ You two are the type of couple to generally just enjoy each other's company, no matter what you're doing. There's no need for words, just your mere presence is enough to provide her with respite.

: ̗̀➛ That said, Kokomi shoulders a lot of responsibility as both the Divine Priestess and supreme leader of Watatsumi Island, often leading to her spending an ungodly amount of hours working. She's very apologetic about not being able to spend much time with you, and she appreciates it a lot whenever you visit her in her office. You often end up massaging her shoulders as she takes a much-needed break.

: ̗̀➛ If Kokomi has the time, she'd much rather take a stroll through Watatsumi Island with you. Taking in the beautiful scenery and clearing her mind with you by her side is no doubt her favorite way to relax after a hard day's work.

: ̗̀➛ Like you, she's not big on PDA in public— just for different reasons. Kokomi is aware that she may have enemies lurking in the shadows even after the Shogun's Vision Hunt Decree, and she doesn't want her beloved to get hurt because of her selfishness.

: ̗̀➛ If you're feeling down or tired, Kokomi would make little water replicas of your favorite animals and sea creatures. Sometimes, she'll even make them do little tricks to cheer you up. It's hard to control her vision so precisely, but it's all worth it once she sees your eyes light up again.

: ̗̀➛ The biggest reason why Kokomi fell in love with you was because you don't put her on a pedestal like everybody else. They always expect her to be able to do mostly anything when in reality, she's just a normal girl. Her hands also shake whenever she's about to give a speech, and she also sometimes feels like giving up whenever she sees the pile of work on her desk. It's only with you that she can be vulnerable because only you see her for who she truly is.

"Lian," Kokomi called out to you, rubbing a pattern of soothing circles onto the back of your hand. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright." Her voice gives you the courage to open your eyes once more, and you're met by the sight of all of the sea creatures you thought you'd only be able to dream of seeing this close. The whole experience was like something from a fairy tale with how magical it was.

Kokomi loves listening to you talk about the things you're passionate about! She's always eagerly paying attention and taking note of everything you say, already thinking of date and gift ideas. Hence why she had this idea for your first date. As Kokomi stepped into the water, it separated and diverged as if to make way for her. "Shall we?" She turned to face you, offering her hand. You don't know what you were expecting when she asked to meet by the shore, but it wasn't this. Still, you believed in Kokomi. You always have and you always will. The smile she wore at this moment was different from all the forced ones during those business meetings you know she loathed. It was a smile that, without any words, told you only one thing: "Trust me." You take her hand. The water formed a bubble around the two of you as she led you further into the sea. It didn't take long until the two of you were completely underwater.

You take a deep breath, squeezing your eyes shut. Honestly, you were scared, but as long as you had Kokomi by your side, you knew that you'd be safe. She wouldn't let you come to harm.

Bioluminescent jellyfish lit up the waters. Sunlight shone through the surface of the sea, its light dispersing to make everything look that much more beautiful. Resplendent corals decorate the sea floor beneath you. Soon after, a school of the most colorful fish you've seen started swimming circles around you two. The bubble you were in felt like it was in a different world, and with how you felt like this moment was the only thing that mattered, it may as well have been. Kokomi takes out a pearl necklace and speaks, her voice filled with utmost devotion and love, "Will you give me a chance to make you happy, my dearest?"

╰┈➤ NSFW ;

: ̗̀➛ Dominant switch, mostly tops. Sex with her is always about intimacy and/or claiming each other rather than just for pleasure, though that's also a big part of it. She's the definition of the phrase "treat her like a princess, fuck her like a whore."

: ̗̀➛ Lots of kissing and hand holding during it. It doesn't exactly give the two of you more pleasure per se, but she finds her hands seeking out yours to intertwine fingers. Both of you are much better at communicating through actions than words, anyway.

: ̗̀➛ If you make her jealous, you better start praying to Orobashi that you'll keep your ability to walk. Kokomi knows very well what the limits of humans are, and she's more than capable of bringing you to its very edge. This woman might look cute, but she is not to be underestimated.

: ̗̀➛ Tentacles. For everything. Restraints? Yes. Gags? Sure. Penetration? As long as you're up to it. She's particularly into tying you up with them: tight enough so you can't get away, but loose enough so she can still watch you struggle helplessly.

: ̗̀➛ She's probably the most sadistic out of everyone on this list. Kokomi doesn't want to hurt you physically, but whether she's topping or not, she'll edge or overstimulate you to the point you're crying for mercy. Seeing tears run down that pretty face of yours just does something to her.

Slimy, translucent tentacles wrap themselves around your arms and legs, effectively immobilizing you. For some reason, the grip they have on you feels... rougher than usual.

Kokomi walks towards you with a smile, but it's neither warm nor inviting. If anything, it was similar to a predator looking down upon its prey. Sensing something was off, you were about to ask when a tentacle covers your mouth.

"Shh... I'm sorry, my love, but I need this." Your legs are spread involuntarily, and she brings herself face to face with your weeping cunt. A messy mixture of kisses and bites are left along your thighs before she dives her tongue head first into your folds, lapping you up like a starved man.

You want so badly to close your legs, but you can't. You can't even moan her name. You can't do anything. All you can do is let out muffled moans and cry as you're helplessly brought to orgasm after orgasm.

Really, she feels bad for this. Kokomi trusts you, but she just needs to convince herself that you're hers. That only she can make you squirt until you genuinely feel like you're going to pass out if you cum one more time.

That doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy it, though.

Love and Deepspace Timeline: MC, Philos, and the Aether Core

Look I finished Xav's myths card. I don't regret waiting until I was done with it to post his timeline because the last two nodes have more to do with MC than him, but I am in a state so we are making this to cope.

This is all speculation and should not be taken as fact, I have done two other posts, one on Zayne and one on Xavier and I will not be doing one on Rafayel please see this reddit post by u/joonmin for relevant information about his myths card blah blah blah.

This post is less of a timeline and more here to answer questions you very likely have if you: A) decided to browse reddit and saw people saying Xavier feels like the "cannon ro" [this is a gacha game there isn't one] but have never read any of his memories, moments, or dates B) read chapter 8 and went "none of this makes sense I feel like I am missing something" or C) just generally are confused about L&D's world building and what's up with MC. I have answers for you. Wibbly wobbly soupy answers. This post also has a TL;DR in case you don't want to see me break out the string board and just want the relevant bits of information about MC you won't get from the msq.

SPOILERS FOR ALL IN GAME CONTENT UP TO CHAPTER 8, VARIOUS MOMENTS, AND ANECDOTES RELATED TO ALL 3 ROS, PROCEED WITH CARE.

Current Timeline MC (i.e. The one we are playing as)

The game starts with MC's graduation from the Academy and first day as a fully licensed hunter. We learn a few things in this first chapter, namely that MC is combat trained, has a rare heart condition known as Protocore Syndrome that has no known cure, and that her decision to become a hunter has something to do with what she experienced fourteen years ago during the Catastrophe when the Deepspace Tunnel opened and Wanderers started invading earth.

Specifically MC describes something burrowing itself into her heart. She feels helpless, like prey, and has a strong desire to never feel anything like this again. Which is unfortunate because I have a feeling a lot of someones are going to be on her trail sooner rather than later.

In Chapter 5 it is revealed that MC has an Aether core fused to her heart. This sort of human experimentation is highly illegal and it is unknown who did this to MC other than our beloved Grandmother was directly involved. Grandma appears to have taken MC away from wherever this happened after the tests started to threaten MC's life.

This is known to Dr. Zayne and Dr. Noah, though neither seem to know more than what Grandma told them. Neither of them seem to fully understand what an Aether core is or what it is doing to MC's heart. Zayne in particular seems to find this extremely concerning.

Uncovering the mystery of the Aether core seems to be what will be driving the first arc so we will not be discussing it at length here. I do want to note that Xavier absolutely knows what it is, while Zayne does not but does seem to know more of the technical aspects of how it is effecting MC, and Rafayel is at least aware of it being valuable and maybe why exactly the people in the N109 Zone want it.

At some point in the past MC met and made a promise to Rafayel. It is my personal theory that this likely took place on Hat Island during the field trip MC talks about due to some of the comments made in Chapter 7.

MC and Caleb were friends with Zayne in childhood. MC's exact age is a bit fuzzy, but the game does seem to suggest she is younger than Zayne. She does not know why Zayne disappeared from her life or what led him to become a doctor.

Comments in Chapter 4 suggests that Caleb encouraged MC to become a hunter. He seems to be very supportive of her, but Grandma seems more interested in trusting MC's protection to Zayne.

On the surface MC seems pretty normal. Her memories from before the Catastrophe seem to be gone, if she had a mother and father or other blood relatives, she doesn't remember them anymore.

Philos MC (i.e. What is Going on in the Myths)

It is revealed in Xavier's When Shooting Stars Fall anecdote that Philos is Earth in the distant future. This has confused numerous people in the notes of my Xav's timeline so I am going to be insufferable and attempt to assist with a graph:

The MC you play belongs to the game timeline, the MCs (plural each myths card features a different one) in the Myths cards come from the Philos timeline. I have tagged the Game timeline as a "potential tangent" as the events that take place in game are entirely reliant on the existence of the Deepspace Tunnel, which is created in the Philos timeline.

At some point in the Original/Philos Timeline, Earth's core ceases to function. Humanity replaces it with a new, artificial core that causes noticeable weather changes and fuses all of the tectonic plates together, and begins a new calendar counting forward from the years since Earth ceased to be and Philos was born. As a result, we don't know what exact year Earth's core giving out happened in the Original Timeline. The artificial core allows almost all humans to "live eternal." They seem to be like Tolkien's elves in the sense they can live for an eternity but they start to get tired after a while and give up on life. This is why there is a royal family that needs a line of succession. Xavier is the Crown Prince of Philos, he meets MC in school and learns she has a rare disease called Protocore Syndrome which will not allow her to live forever. He attempts to cure this by finding a specific protocore she mentions, but fails to reach her in time and is forced to watch her die. This all happens in the year 214.

At some point MC is reborn and assigned to the same teacher as Xavier. She is to train to become his knight and serve as the leader of the Lightseekers, an order tasked with killing Wanderers. At some point during or before Xavier's coming of age ceremony, he learns the truth about Philos: the planet is dying due to the artificial core never having been meant to sustain the planet this long. The Royal Family's solution for this is to occasionally feed humans to the heart of Philos in Starfall Forest. When they do this, it creates Wanderers. As if that wasn't bad enough, Xavier learns that his father and the royal family have found what they think could be a permanent solution: there is a girl who has achieved true immortality. She is the only person on Philos who can die and be reborn constantly, and while they don't seem to know why she does this, the royal family believes this girl is the life force of the planet itself.

This girl is MC and Xavier does not want this to happen. He has a plan that he does not explain to MC, but it involves traveling back in time. He says they have specific places in time picked out, but we know from Xavier's Passing By anecdote that something went wrong with his team's attempt at time travel and now there is no guarantee that the MC he left on Philos as its Queen is still there.

So now we have two timelines: Original/Philos Timeline and Game/Tangent Timeline. But all of that is just taking Xavier's anecdotes and Myths card into account... so what happens if we try to plug in the other two ROs?

Rafayel

In u/Joonmin's reddit post they mention two very important bits of information: 1) It has been 30,000 years since the sea dried up and 2) MC is a member of the royal family of Philos, not by birth but because "she has a heart that’s been blessed by the gods" and has "awoken from the depths." If all three myths cards take place in the same Philos timeline as the one Xavier leaves, we can reasonably place Raf's myths card after Xavier's backtrack mission.

So the Philos timeline would look like this. I have a note for Zayne's card there as well, but if I had to get picky with it I'm slightly tempted to place his Myths card between MC's first death and her being reborn to meet Xavier again. The other explanation would be that there are three separate Philos timelines created because the MC was successfully scarified to the Heart of Philos. In Xavier's Myths 6 MC briefly takes a dip in the space time anomaly at the center of Starfall Forest which could also explain MC scattering across different timelines, but the in game spacepedia makes a point to say that there is a chance that life still exists on Philos:

So it could simply be that MC over there has been stuck in the exact cycle of death and rebirth that Xavier was trying to prevent. It could also mean that when they add that mystery fourth love interest there is an explanation for a fourth possible myths card. Anyway all this information leaves us with a set of timelines that currently look like this:

This still leaves a lot of unanswered questions. For example, if the Philos timeline is where this all starts, what version of it is? What caused Earth's core to give out in that original timeline? Is Rafayel and Lumeria's existence the consequences of clashing timelines or are mermaids cannon to this universe? What effect on the space time continuum did Xavier's actions have? And how much of this is actually going to be answered in game?

TL;DR

Philos is Earth in the future with an artificial core that started running out of power, and never should have been made in the first place.

The royal family fed some of their long lived humans to the anomaly in Starfall forest to keep the planet running, but then they found out about a girl who could constantly be reborn each time she died and had an idea.

An idea Xavier wasn't very keen on but who cares. They thought that "when the time was right" they would sacrifice her to the rift and leave her there to die and be reborn forever. They also did not think to ask her.

Oh yeah when they fed people to the rift they turned into Wanderers. So wanderers = people as mentioned in Zayne's Still in the Dark anecdote.

Whatever makes MC reincarnate might have something to do with Lumeria, or at the very least the Lumerians in Rafayel's myths card seem to think it does.

In game MC, current timeline MC knows none of this, and has no memories from her lives, past or future. This is consistent across all her incarnations.

Final Thoughts

The only reason why I think this way about timelines is because I watched Donnie Darko in a college theater class. People like to argue about that movie and how it is supposed to be interpreted, but generally speaking they all seem to think that Tangent Timelines and the Tangent Universes they spawn get deleted very quickly, so maybe that's why the game starts by talking about "being able to leave this loop" and why Xavier seems to think something bad will be happening to Linkon City soon.

Chapter 8 ends with Xavier attempting to send a message back through the Deepspace Tunnel to make contact with someone. Interestingly enough he calls this "Traceback II." This sounded familiar to me and sure enough the game starts by mentioning that exact same thing, it is going past a black hole and is what says that line "we are stuck in this loop."

I thought in previous posts that the Aether Core is what could cure MC... but now I think the Aether Core is likely what Philos's artificial core is called... so who created it in the first place? ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)

The Deepspace Tunnel is a spacetime anomaly likely caused by Philos's existence since it was "never meant to exist." So why was it created? And by who?

PICK A CARD: what's your genshin impact life like, and what vision would you have based on it?

DISCLAIMERS & CONTEXT: this is important so don't skip it.

Since genshin has 7 types of visions, it felt unfair to me to just do three options to choose from like I normally do, that being said, I'm doing 9 options, with (hopefully) a short backstory, and then based on that, choose a vision. That means probably some visions would be left out of the post, and/or one or two elements could appear a lot. I could try and control that all the 7 elements appear but it wouldn't be a genuine reading since it'll be some manipulation, and that'll be dishonest and I'm not about that. Also in case anyone want to know what I took into account for selecting the visions, unless stated otherwise, I used this as a guide.

Anything said here about your life/ideals/past events is ONLY related to the hypothetical scenario of you living in genshin, DON'T take the reading as guidance, and DON'T feel that you HAD to experience the things said in real life to be able to relate and have that vision. This is just a fun what if based on your energy right now.

With the explanation and disclaimer out of the way, pick whichever picture you feel more attracted to and skip to that pile.

click on the picture to get a better view if necessary. rant and poll at the end.

Pile 1

the moon, ten of pentacles, ace of pentacles.

So, right of the start, without the interpretation of the meaning of the cards, the moon is in 2/3 of them, and what is the moon associated with? exactly, water. So right when I pulled the second card I knew y'all vision was hydro. I have this feeling that in genshin you would be from a kinda rich family, of course you're not feiyun commerce guild rich, but your family is well off and you don't need to worry about money. Talking about family, it seems that you have a good relationship with them, and they just support you and want you to live a fulfilling life.

So, for how you got your vision. It was at night, you were in your room, laying in bed or looking out the window, and you were thinking about your future. You wanted to continue the family business, how could you not?, your family has always done so much for you, and asked so little in return, this had to be right the way to repay them. At this point someone from your family close to you entered your room, I'm getting father figure vibes, definitely a masculine energy. One thing leads to another and you confide that you want to continue inherit the family business, but something deep within you is toughing at your heart strings, as if to trying to tell you something. This father figure tells you to really think this through and that the feeling you have might be because you are not fully convinced in what you want. Before leaving he reassures you that the family business is not that important, that you don't owe them anything, and that all they've done for you has been out of love. Then when you are all alone again and finally realize that you don't want to stay in the family business, but to do your own thing; a hydro vision appears next to you, and you know you've made the right choice, in wanting to pursue what you are passionate about.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 2

three of swords, king of cups, the empress.

This pile is giving me a lot of mixed messages, like in your genshin life y'all are a kind, compassionate person, and also a very wise, but something tells me that is not dendro wisdom, but more like leader wisdom, if that makes sense. With the empress I see that you have children at you care, could be your actual children, but I'm getting more of a head of an orphanage type of vibe.

For how you got your vision, I'm picturing that you are in some kind of meeting with important people, and they are pressuring you sell the orphanage, so they can close it and make something else where it's located. This is a negotiation they've been trying to make for quite some time now, and are trying to convince you with any way possible to sell it, and at this point you were tired of them showing up to the orphanage trying to convince you; probably some of the older kids starting to piece things together and are worried you might abandon them. So you agreed to go to their company headquarters to negotiate, away form the kids so they can't listen. So once you're there they start to bring up the fact that you're the only staff in the orphanage, and don't have anyone to help you finance and care for the children, and after some other valid arguments you start to doubt if you should just sell it and use the money to open a new one some other place. But something doesn't feel right and you stand your ground, telling them that the property is not for sell, that is your home and the home of all the children, you just can give that away like nothing. When you go back to the orphanage the first thing you see is the kids waiting for you, and you figured that everyone was aware of the rumors of you abandoning them, since you could see some of them had been crying. When you tell them the good news, they run to hug you, and only when one kind complains that they hit their head with something that was hanging from your waist, you realize that the gods had looked at you, and granted you a geo vision.

Pile 3

wheel of fortune, the high priestess, queen of swords.

Something about this pile gives me anemo, but at the same time it feel too different from it. In your genshin life, you went through many hardships, and there was a point were you ended up in a situation where you couldn't defend yourself, and needed help to overcome it. This brought a big change into your life, an that's how you were able to obtain a vision.

Now, the story of how all that happened, actually started long before you got your vision. When you were on your lowest, a feminine energy help you, someone intelligent, witty, honest, and strong. She saved you from some monsters that were attacking you, and even tho you tried to fight back, they were way more stronger than you, so when she came to your rescue you felt ashamed for relaying on another person that happened to pass by and were kind enough to help you. You ended up asking them to teach you how to fight, so you could become stronger and better defend yourself. At first she refused and point out that your intentions weren't pure and that you just wanted to become stronger for selfish reasons. After some meditation on why you wanted to become stronger, you reached the conclusion that you actually wanted to be someone reliable, that everyone could depend on if they ever needed your help. After you told her that, she agreed to train you. You spend day and night learning from her, not only things combat related, but also how to be a better and more kind person. By the ending of your training, you viewed her as a mother figure, even to she wasn't exactly caring and gentle, despised her cold and serious face, you knew she cared for you. When you finally finished training and she said you were ready for anything you wanted to do, she gave you your first weapon as a gift, along with a box that contained a another gift she prepared. When you opened the box, next to the bracelet she bought for you, there was a pyro vision placed next to it, although no one knew how it got there.

Pile 4

ace of pentacles, the emperor, queen of swords (reversed).

I'm getting this strong feeling that you would be some business owner, although I don't get a feeling for anything specific. You also probably come across to others as someone really intelligent on the art of business even if you follow these unorthodox methods that look like they are meant to fail, but for some reason for you it always work out. I feel that some might see you as a stubborn, maybe even ruthless person, like you are definitely a serious type.

For how you got your vision, you were probably in your office, just when you started to see profit from your new business. You went through a lot of challenges to get where you were, but you still weren't satisfied and had a lot of goals in mind, so you never let yourself take a break and were always working. You were drowning in paperwork, quiet literally, you couldn't even see the surface of your desk because of all the papers scattered. At this point you had too much in your mind and were starting to get a headache, so you decided to take a short break to eat something. Before leaving you decided to clean your desk and organize all the papers on it, and while moving them, that's when you realized that there was a dendro vision on your desk.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 5

the sun, page of swords (reversed), queen of wands (reversed).

I'm getting really positive and playful vibes, almost childlike, so my guess is that y'all are really young, or that are in touch with your inner child so much that even in a hypothetical scenario about a video game, you still are coming across as someone curious, with and adventurous spirit, and overall really happy and someone comforting to be around, definitely someone who is always playing with kids and helping those in need. With that being said, it may come as a surprise that y'all are involved in a bad organization, and not bad as in "they don't pay extra hours" bad, but more like "we control all the city and we decide what are the rules and the only valid law is ours" bad. The thing is, I don't really have any information about what the organization does, or what is the thing that you're supposed to do in it, so I think you actually don't really know either, and that's why I can't see it, OR there's too much hidden things around you that you want to keep a secret. Like I feel that you want to bring justice to bad people, and that you joined the organization because they basically lied to you and made you believe that they were good guys. I really have a feeling that you found out about what the organization really does but you're unable to leave so you are ashamed of being part of it or are ashamed of what the organization asked you to do, so you don't want anyone to know. Anyway, this is funny because I can't see how you got your pyro vision either, just that it happened near the time you joined the organization.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 6

ace of wands, four of swords (reversed), ace of cups.

Something happened to you that made you isolate yourself from the word, in the literal sense. I feel that the was a heartbreak, not necessarily romantic, that made you so sad that you decided you needed to go get yourself lost in nature, to meditate and work on yourself. I don't have a clear answer on who that person was, but I'm getting the mixed signal that was a lover or a really close friend that betray you, and your trust, and then not long after they got out of your life, either by death or by moving really far away.

So, how you got you vision is a little interesting. Remember I said you went out and got lost in nature? Well I'm not sure if it was 100% true, I can feel that for quite some time you actually were living in this sort of cave, with a river nearby and some sources of food, but also I can see that some weeks before getting your vision you were living in a really really really dark cave and I believe is some kind of metaphor on were you where mentally at the time. But then this beautiful moment happens where you decide you've been lamenting and torturing yourself emotionally for a long time now, so you gather courage and decide to go out of the cave. and of course at first the sun is too blinding, and you have to close your eyes and cover them with your hand at the same time. Then you start to thinking about going back to the comfort of the darkness, but really want to feel the warmth of the sun in your skin again so you continue forward even with your eyes closed. After some steps you can feel that you are outside but are too afraid to open your eyes so you just keep walking until to feel your feet touch something metallic, you look down and open your eyes to see what it is. And the first thing you are able to see is an anemo vision, and at that moment you know is yours, and it feels as if you've been born again.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 7

the magician (reversed), wheel of fortune, king of swords (reversed).

I don't know how much y'all are gonna like this but listen, someone from this PAC had to be the bad guy, surely from 9 piles not everyone was going to be good people... it's you guys, y'all are the bad ones, and you know it and you aren't ashamed of it (remember this is about your genshin life and that I'm not actually saying that in real life y'all are bad people). So, how do I put this. Y'all actually don't have a vision right now, you will, you will soon, I promise, just not right now.

Okay so, give a chance to explain. Y'all are power hungry, ruthless, tyrant, or at least that's how the others perceive you. They see you like an authority regardless of your ethics and morals not aligning with what everyone considers as "good", and they trust your judgment in a way, since you seem so disciplined and don't allow yourself to doubt on what you believe. That being said, I so feel that there's some major event that is going to shake your foundations, and send you on a spiral of some kind of identity crisis, and realizing that the things you believed in were wrong, or weren't even true at all. When that happens and you try to seek support on someone you trust, they're gonna deceive you again and betray you, which in return will amplify all the negative and complicated emotions you are feeling, and somewhere along your journey of change and acceptance is when you're going to get a cryo vision that's going to make you company for the rest of your life.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 8

ace of cups (reversed), four of swords, ace of wands.

So, you guys had a lot going on, that left you in a really bad mental space. With the ace of cups we can assume it was something like a wedding or engagement getting cancelled, but that doesn't have to be necessary it, since I'm also seeing that there was some type of social event where there was something you did and people didn't approve that left you so anxious and/or embarrassed that you had to leave early, so if you're not vibing with the wedding/engagement thing, it could be that. The point is that that event made people single you out and start to be more wary of you and more hostile. This left you feeling overwhelmed since you always thought that you were well liked in the community, like at the end of the day it wasn't that serious to them, but for you it hit really hard and made you see that maybe the world wasn't really like you believed.

At the end you allowed negativity to really set in your life, until at some point you decided that you needed some peace and quiet, make some introspection, relax and really think about how you are going to life your life from now on. Thankfully you found a solution once put your mind into it, and made a plan of moving somewhere else, to start again, so actually in that same day you started looking into it and by the end of the day of the day you had almost everything sorted out. You went to sleep really excited to the though of finally having your life back in control again, and there was definitely this new spark in your eyes and this feeling that almost didn't let you sleep, thankfully you did, and when you wake up you'll start this new life and the first thing you'll see will be this electro vision that accompanied you on your sleep.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Pile 9

two of swords, the high priestess, the devil.

So uh, a lot to unpack here. First things first, like pile 7 based on the story that the cards are telling me, I don't see you having a vision right now, but you will have one in the near future. Funnily enough, you guys also share with pile 7 that you will have a cryo vision. So yeah, I just wanted to be straight forward with it in case you don't care about your backstory that much because it doesn't really mention how you got the vision, I just a very general idea of how it happened.

So your story is that you're feeling trapped, and like if things are out of your control, and that you have to make this big decision between two friends. I feel that one of them is trying yo leave, it could be from town, or organization/institution, or isn't happy with the friend group anymore and how it has changed. And they're your best friend so of course you want to support their decision, but you have another really close friend that isn't happy with they wanting to leave, and this ideals they have, so both of them start fighting with each other. And you are such a loving and caring friend, you don't want to see them fight, so you're trying to mediate the constant argument, and trying for them to reconcile, and it's very stressful because none of them wants to give in and compromise. And this is pretty much what the cards say, except for the high priestess, that is encouraging you to trust what you believe, and take action, follow your intuition, etc. So my guess is, you guys realize that the argument is pointless, and let your friends know, and kinda distance from them yourself from them because you realize they're not the friends you've always loved anymore, and that their change is not really the best thing for you right now, and then when you do that and you accept it and really embrace and believe in your decision, you'll be granted your vision.

**As in all the PACs, just take what resonates and leave what doesn't, this is for entertainment only, so have fun with it!

Thanks for reading!

I usually write this notes before doing the readings, so I don't really know how it went, BUT I can already tell this is gonna let me feeling really tired.

So yeah, I'm drained, it's been two days and a lot of hours spend on this so future me can worry about spelling mistakes to fix. If I ever do a PAC this long again, I better get paid or something this felt like working 12 hours straight, I had so many issues with the formatting it's not even funny, and don't get me started with pile 5, or that error I had with the poll, or the fact that the cryo users didn't have a vision yet. Anyway, this will be my only 9 option one in a while, the next ones will be back at 3 options, 4 if I'm feeling generous.

All jokes aside, it was really fun and I really wanted to do this PAC, so it's still worth it. Can't wait to read what you guys think, lot's of love! 💕

You can find more of my PACs on my master list, and if you have any suggestions on future PACs you want to see me do, you can send me and ask.

Bye byee ✨

Ranking the Miracucast by good they are at playing UNO

Marinette: She has a strategy. She plays to win. Her family has been playing UNO since before Marinette was in nursery school. She is ruthless and takes no chances. There are no allies in UNO. ...She still ends up losing more often than not because that's just how UNO is. 7/10

Alya: She's mostly just at the table for fun, and really enjoys how into it her friends get. 4/10

Adrien: Yes. 10/10

Nino: You would not expect this man to be good at UNO. But everyone just kind of... ignores him? He just casually goes along causing no drama, until he's the first person to call "UNO!" and everyone wheels around in their seats to face him with shocked looks on their faces. Adrien, however, can see right through Nino's facade and the moment Nino says "UNO!" both of them know that it's on like Donkey Kong. 9/10

Chloe: She has no idea whatsoever how to play, but she refuses to lose to Marinette. There is drama. There is house rules. There is drama about house rules. But they keep inviting Chloe back to the table because when she plays she also *hosts* the game at Le Grand Paris, and while they may not be good at much the Bourgeois family DOES know how to host events better than anyone else. 5/10

Sabrina: Initially didn't participate and was just there to act as Chloe's valet. Then one day she joined the table and curbstomped everyone, then went back to helping set up the snacks like it never happened. This has happened a couple times since then, and nobody understands it. Adrien and Nino have begged her to teach them, and she acts like she doesn't know what they're talking about. The only person to ever match Sabrina in a game of UNO was Marinette's mother Sabine, and all the players that were involved in that game signed an NDA stating they can't reveal who won. I have no justification for any of this, but I can feel it in my bones. 11/10

Mylene: Surprisingly vicious, but experienced players have no difficulty dispatching her. 6/10

Ivan: Unfortunately he is not very good at this game. There was one time he actually won though, with a pretty good strategy, and his smile was brighter than the sun. Since then everyone has wanted him to win again, but none of them are willing to sacrifice their own chances of victory for it. Ivan doesn't mind. He's just happy to be included. 2/10

Rose: Everyone expects her to be secretly good at this game for some reason. She doesn't understand why. She's pretty average at the game, but enjoys when she plays a card normally and everyone else glances around in a panic. This is fun! 4/10

Juleka: By herself she's a little better than average, but she's a real menace when Luka is also in the room. She knows all his tells and micro-expressions, and since Luka is Luka (see below) that means she knows everything. There have been talks of banning the Couffaine Twins from playing in the same round as each other, but such a ban was pretty impossible to enforce. 8/10 by proxy

Kim: In regular UNO he's a complete failure, but when the group is playing with large amounts of house rules he starts doing really really well. Not on purpose. Most of the time, however, he just shows up to eat snacks and arm wrestle with Ivan in the background while everyone else plays. 3/10

Max: Like with every game he's played, he knows ALL the strategies. Card percentages, color probabilities, the works. He should, by all accounts, be an expert at this game. But he does not understand the Heart Of The Cards and so he keeps losing. 6/10

Alix: Is definitely cheating. All the time. Everyone knows it. And it hurts, because Alix is legitimately good at the game too. Her classmates are begging for a regular game, but she just loves seeing what weird stuff she can get away with. Alix/10

Nathaniel: He wasn't particularly interested in the game originally, but then someone (Chloe maybe?) commissioned him to make a massive custom deck with original art based on the superheroes. Since he makes the cards, he somehow also became the judge on what can and cannot become a permanent house rule, since that often leads to new cards being made. He's still really awful at the game itself, but everyone showers him with praise and view his title as Deck Keeper as worthy of unparalleled respect. And since he made the cards, he's the only one capable of countering Heart Of The Cards bullcrap. 5/10

Lila: Has literally never played UNO before, though she will never admit it. 0/10

Luka: The jury's still out on whether or not his inner music hyper-empathy counts counts as cheating or not. Since they can't prove he's using it to know what everyone is feeling about their cards and plays, he's still permitted at the table. But the fact remains that he's very good at this the game. 8/10

Kagami: She has absolutely no idea what she is doing. The amount of cards in her hand sometimes gets so large Felix or Adrien has to provide one of their hands to help hold them. But she is also having the most fun she's had in a long, long time. So let's focus on the positives, shall we? -10/10

Marc: He swears the deck is not rigged in his favor. Nathaniel asserts there's no way he COULD rig the deck in Marc's favor, and Max ran the numbers to prove it. But somehow every time the group starts a new round Marc draws his cards and yup full of wild cards again. 6/10

Ondine: This was Kim's idea of a date. Ondine was not impressed. But she did stay for the snacks, and at least gave it the old college try. UNO just isn't her vibe, and that's okay. 1/10

Aurore: Doesn't usually play with everyone else, but she DOES know how to play, and one time she was asked to join a game when most of the group was unavailable and they needed more players. It was a bit awkward because she's a big Adrien fangirl and is used to playing with a different set of house rules, but they made it work, and fun was had. 4/10

Felix: He tries. He tries so hard. Everyone was wary when he joined the table, but there fears were unfounded because Felix is absolutely pathetic at UNO. He has the rules memorized. He keeps track of all the house rules meticulously, which interestingly means he's very good at keeping the game running smoothly. Everyone turns to him when there's uncertainty about a particular situation. But he just can not win. Ever. He doesn't even get close. He's managed to call "UNO" a grand total of once in his lifetime, and that was because the rest of his cards ended up in Kagami's hand instead somehow. It's awful. It's mortifying. He's a chess prodigy, an expert tactician, how has he been reduced to this? 1/10

Zoe: Was really excited to play, and let out a squeal of joy when she saw Nath's custom cards. She knows how to play really well, and was really quick on the uptake when it came to all the house rules, too. Since she's around technically the group no longer needs Chloe to host, but Chloe took that as a challenge to be an EVEN. BETTER. HOST. Zoe is not complaining, less work for her. And she still beats he sister most of the time, so it's all good. 7/10

NAMJOON:

art galleries, raspy laughter, late-night bike rides with your hands wrapped tight around his warm waist is what you must be thinking

and well, it is true

but the first thought that crosses his mind is:

"shit"

he's kind of a goof and the universe has conspired to make his life an utter hell

so mostly his grand romantic gestures crumble like a tower of wet, rotten cards

bike rides? ends up driving into a bramble

bought you flowers? ends up tripping and hurtling the bouquet underneath a car

but enough about Joon taking L's

so obviously the situation is not ideal and halfway he doesn't even understand these feelings he's slowly gaining knowledge of

has probably googled "heart fast rate why???"

(it's because you fixed his shirt, drama queen)

asks you to be travel buddies!

Switzerland, Chicago, Amsterdam, wherever he goes, he asks you to join

"It's normal to ask friends on a trip, right," he reasons to himself

loves to have you hanging around his hotel room

lays back on the bed with the TV in the background and talks to you about anything that comes to mind then

often has meals with you

late night snacks in the hotel room, dinner in a cafe abroad, breakfast brunch squeezed in between his hectic schedule

giggles a lot

giggles x 10 when drinks, say, on one of those late-night dinners

oh, 100% a giggly, blushing mess when dining with you and intoxicated; the whole world becomes so fuzzy and nice because he's with you and even if you're not together you're friends and enjoying each other's company

does get more nervous around you, to the point you can definitely spot the difference

becomes more silly, is more concerned about making you laugh

touchy

uses any and all possible excuses to grab you by the waist

bike comes too near? grabs you by the waist to "protect " you

you're in a crowded place? grabs you by the waist so you don't get lost

if you got a special interest and or hobby, does his due research and often brings up said topic

then gets that dopey look in his eye as he watches you rave on excitedly

like the kind that has cartoon hearts in his eyes

everyone can tell he has a thing for you

you're so present in his life that people have started calling you mini Mon :(

when he catches feelings begins to call you cute 24/7

because he likes cute things :(

even if you two are around common friends, sticks to your side the entire time and talks with you more than anyone else

asks you to take his Instagram pics mostly because if he's on a walk, you're there with him

if you've got social anxiety, frequently checks up and lets you know you can use him as a "get me out of here quickly" card

will immediately fake a yawn and go "this has been fun but I've got a busy day tomorrow, see ya"

you're breathing the outside air in under a minute if that happens

always assures you that it's completely fine if you want to leave; you shouldn't torture yourself for the sake of other people

(always wants to rub your back when this happens but he restrains himself, keeping his palm to his side even as it burns on and on to just reach, to just feel your warmth)

doesn't go to your place often but when he does it's healing

late-night talks with a drink of your choice

he doesn't want to trouble you too much but with a little bit of nudging he ends up spilling his worries and anxieties

listens thoroughly to your advice

if you don't know something, let's say about an art installation or how one specific tax works, always frees the time to explain it

you could have problems with registering for something and once he sees the message, puts things aside to voice message you on what to do

he doesn't call all that often but if he does you know he's missing you like crazy

doesn't say it, of course, he's not there yet to confess quite so soon but you can tell - his voice is gentle and deep, and he doesn't enunciate his words properly cause he's just so tired, but he couldn't sleep without hearing your voice

if you have the hots for someone, where before he would tease you about it, make some (savage) fun about it, now he's choked by jealousy

"you're constipated or something?" you ask him, peering dubiously over the table

"No, why?" with furrowed brows, he sputters.

"You're making a face. That face," you gesture vaguely around his envenomed expression. "You usually make that face when your gut stops working."

"It's working just fine," he scoffs. "You're just a gross little gremlin."

"Jeez, all I said was that the waiter is hot you don't need to - THERE'S THAT FACE AGAIN!"

if you have a partner...

please, just don't, 'cause this has been fun and it won't be any more

Namjoon gets sullen, he feels like he's doing something wrong, the very act of falling in love with you as he knows with unshakeable certainty you return home to someone you call love...

well, he'd rather just lay down in the snow and wither through the ground

so just, please, don't have a partner, he won't stop you, of course, Namjoon is perfectly aware he can't ask anything of the kind from you when he's keeping quiet about his feelings but still...it'd break him, not completely, but enough to make it hurt

plays with your fingers :((

always cuts it short with an awkward cough as though to suggest he'd done it without realizing it, because he's too wrapped up in himself to tell you that he's in love but still does it time after time

if you get along with Monie, he sulks

"He likes everyone more than me."

and if you don't...

then just scolds the poor thing lmao

"They mean well, why you're such a spiteful dog (-_-)"

[..]

has masturbated and thought accidentally about you before realizing his crush

afterwards, he couldn't look you in the eyes for 3 to 7 business days

not so rarely fantasizes about you while getting off and then immediately feels guilty about it

probably moans your name with praise as his eyes scrunch shut and he gets lost in the unfolding scene of his frenzied brain

ngl probably thinks of blowjobs a lot

favourite go-to fantasy is you making eye contact as your mouth is wrapped around him

sometimes he forgets about all the technicalities of what could be, what is and what he wants to be and lets himself slip

that usually involves compliments, tugging you onto his lap, giving fleeting kisses anywhere except your lips, saying he's better than whomever you find hot

straight up asking would you sleep with him

(has done so only once out of fear of scaring you away)

when hit with unbridled jealousy, puts his hand around your shoulder, and refers to you as "mine" despite knowing you will have questions about this he can't help himself

subtly checks you out especially if you're wearing something more revealing than usual

if you're showing signs of being flustered...

oh, boy, you're in a world of trouble

"come here," in that deep ass voice

if you want his opinion on an outfit, he 100% leans back and asks you to give him a twirl

likes to stare at you, not even thoroughly sexually but he just likes to zone out and admire you from a near distance

sometimes calls you "baby" mostly when thinking of something else and forgets you're not officially his baby, just one in his mind

YOONGI:

either takes the longest time out of seven to fall in love with a friend or the shortest, there's literally no in between

the type to find everything you do cute

he doesn't verbalize it but you can see it on his face

the enraptured smile he has around you!

might as well scream to the entire cosmos he's caught a bad case of feelings

incurable one at that

the easiest how to tell of his feelings is his enthusiasm to contact and/or meet you

calls out of the blue and plays it off completely casual

confused, you see the ID and pick up the call on one unassuming late evening

"Did you sit on your phone or something?" you frown

"Can't I sometimes check if you're alive or not? Is it a crime?"

ever think he's too cocky for his own good?

pull up the picture of him in the maid outfit - instantly humbled

but this works only once, afterwards, he just leans into it and says his legs look sexy or something

roasts you

he's in love with you but Yoongi will remain Yoongi

he's soft about it however and secretly enjoys if you give him back the same attitude

sneaky yet deliberate hand holding

frequently lets his hand brush up against yours

it's like a drug to him

does things for you (acts of service king!) like say, peel tangerines for you, cut up fruits, peel shrimp

shares his food with you, especially the things you like

if you're out eating somewhere makes sure they have your favourites

praises might be rare but you know he believes them whole-heartedly

once in every blue moon arranges a get-away, particularly if you've complained about being stuck at home too much

the boys all inspect him with big, wide eyes wondering what could he possibly need the weekend free for

"______________ wants a change of scenery."

"oooOOooooooooOoo _______________ wants a change of scenery ~~~"

they rip into him without mercy for being such a simp

and if anything goes wrong, when it's supposed to be p e r f e c t

he becomes genuinely upset

"Can I not get nice things just once? Just this once can something not go to shit!"

doesn't, of course, flip out often, if ever, just sometimes it occurs and he's very sulky

you can reach him 24/7 (he's always on that damn phone T-T)

will scold you if you have bad eating habits

"Turns out I have not one Holly, but two," he grumbles, shuffling through your door with a takeout in hand. "I have to make sure you're fed and with enough liquids. At least, Holly has cute ears."

"I'm not your pet!" peeved, you turn to glare at him, but Yoongi only shrugs.

"Could've fooled me."

hOld hIs HaND nOw

it legitimately twitches if yours is anywhere near

if he's not super tired, is constantly cracking jokes around you

definitely lets himself be more playful with you than at the start

when he's jealous, he just looks disgusted like on the brink of vomit

obviously, you don't receive an explanation as to why his face looks as though he was just forced to lick a toilet bowl

proper gentleman

patiently waits for you to get ready

subtle but frequent touching

fidgets a lot and stares awkwardly away, cause he's just so shy when it comes to you

"how many stares until marriage"

he'd rather die than admit that question is in his google search

off-handedly, tells you you're pretty

sometimes ties your shoes??

[..]

darts his tongue over his lips when he finds you sexy

also, gets this zoned-out look in the eye

like his soul leaves his body for a second

if you wear something rather fitting or revealing, he swallows nervously and rasps that you look good

it's not that he doesn't ever think of you in that way, wondering how would it feel like or that he doesn't not want to jack off to the thought of it, but more like he doesn't allow himself??

like he can let his mind wander and then realize the direction of where this is winding up on and he goes: "No! No."

this is the one aspect I think he would oppress quite hard

mostly because it feels weird for him to make these hypothetical scenarios and then look you in the eyes all without saying a word

almost in a way he pushes these thoughts off until and if you get together

that said has had a session with himself in which the main fantasy was eating you out on a piano, legs quivering around the sides of his head as you yanked harshly on his hair

JIN:

winks

constantly

subtly touchy

say, instead of holding your hand he shakes it

every time you meet, he's just like "welcome, hello." *shakes your hand*

lame jokes and wordplay about you lowkey dating him

clings to you like a koala if it's cold

particularly fond of back hogging

not hugging, hogging

try and get rid of him when he's in the clingy mood

does the absolute most if you're not paying attention to him

if you're on the phone when he's talking - will pinch you

sometimes breaks into your house

you wake up one day, wondering why the hell is TV going off at full volume

and you see Jin lounging on the couch, eating cereal (yours ofc) and tossing a casual greeting:

"You took your time. If I'd been a burglar, you'd be so dead."

crashes at your place when is his drunk giggly self

imagine JK's birthday live

but he doesn't leave lolol

so the thing is, he has joked about wanting to kiss you for a long time

teasing before, just being silly, without meaning quite anything

which guarantees him a sort of immunity now

as he still jokes about wanting to kiss you, maybe even puckering up his lips just to see your reaction

but where you think it's a joke, he means it oh so earnestly

responds with "you're cute" when you say something gross

"oh, I'm going to hurl all over these fucking stairs"

"ur cute" *cue drunken swaying*

constantly is hounding to get some drinks

maybe because it’s less conspicuous than dinner

maybe because if he’d see you, cheeks glowing in the candle light across the table

he’d have to have an untimely funeral

but jokes, of course, on him

cause you’re no less lovely sitting by a bar, laughing at his jokes, face and gaze flushed with inebriated joy

avoids eye contact like his life depends on it cause it does

you know of “hyung will do it” now get ready for “honey will do it”

quite possibly squabbles with you as he instantly jumps into things to help you out

shamelessly uses you as an excuse to not go out or get away from a social gathering

“Ah, you see,” he smiles, the fake little bitch. “__________’s tummy is making funny noises, better to avoid unnecessary evacuation.”

presses you for a crumb of affection but when you give it, vehemently protests - ears, neck, face bright fucking red

politely yet savagely rips apart any love interest you might have

“But who am I to judge?” he says smugly once finished destroying some poor stranger who made eyes at you

repeats your whining in a cutely mocking tone

goes off in your texts and calls if he’s even mildly annoyed

which is how you get the learn the precious knowledge of how Jungkook had his toe stuck in Jin’s asscrack for a fleeting second

the more resistant you are to play along with some of his jokes, the eager he is to make them

yes, your mortification provides him much needed joy

can and will literally come over just to do dishes and dip without any explanation

okay, so he’s over a lot

has a fruitless ongoing debate of why should some of his things be at your home

It’s for cOnVeNieNcE, says he

and not at all because he has the delusional idea that he can move in first and then become your partner

he’s your little house husband

constantly has gifts for you

especially when he visits, which, as mentioned, is all the time

often comes bearing fruits and snacks, but the presents have included and not been limited to - a jumper, a jacket, fridge magnet, shitty freebie, matching couple bracelets, tickets to a show and, of course, the most noteworthy - his own signed selfie

he hangs it up in the entry hallway

and, despite how many times you remove it, it’s always somehow there the next day

along with heavy stream of complaints about how unappreciative you are of being friends with a superstar

jokes this time on you, he thinks you’re the star

nap in his presence and be prepared to be made fun of, bothered and getting air blown in your ear

sometimes lets his intrusive thoughts win and bites your hand

cooks for you and makes such a fuss about it

even as you point out he’s not fucking invisible and you can, in fact, see his grin spreading from cheek to cheek

[..]

much like Yoongi, it’s not that Jin’s the innocent soul out there and lives without harbouring a single impure thought about you

that’s not the case

but more so he simply does not allow himself to often venture there

it’s not polite first of all and second, he doesn't wield the best poker face against you

but if he lets himself wander…

oh boy, imagine it nasty, imagine it wild, and with no small amount of soft domming

just for the sheer torture, he might not touch himself at all and just think of scenarios

is particularly fond of overstimulating fantasy and you pleading out to him in soft whimpers, clutching at his broad shoulders

that fantasy wholly fulfils his wish to be needed and it’s a secret pleasure of his

hearing fantasy you praising him about how he’s taking care of you like no one else…

well, it makes his entire skin burn as though fevered

sometimes his fantasies include light bondage and food play, both on you and him

has cracked a sharp smirk imagining how would it feel like to be tied to the bedpost and be had in your way - scratched, marked, absolutely drained dry and punished

in those scenarios, he always imagines you jealous

he likes thinking about you being jealous

it ties back to the being needed wish fulfilment of his

Jin himself doesn’t often get jealous but when he does he becomes authoritative

guides you away from the conversation; firmly puts down all your protests and points out why that person is no good for you

sometimes whispers in your ear to do something without whining

that is the riskiest he’ll get

but that inquisitive line of whether you’d obey his order or be a brat fuels him like no other

HOSEOK:

the only one whose feelings are not in fact typed in 108-size letters on his face, in bold print, mind you

so out of all the boys, he would be capable of keeping up the front for years

and quite believably so

he thinks about it a lot - what would happen if he did confess, what if he didn’t, would it change anything?

but that currently is only for him to know

what he shows to you is exactly what you make him - the best of himself

sometimes you see how sulky and depressed he becomes, but it’s not as much as he puts a facade in front of you when that frown turns it to smile

(well, partially it does but he also knows you can see right through his masks, that’s why you’re so scary; so scary and lovely at the same time)

it’s not so much of a pretence as much as he genuinely feels his heart lighten whenever you’re around

is deathly afraid of disappointing you and maybe it does make a foundation on why he doesn’t come outright about his feelings

but that’s the story for another time

in this situation, it means, however, you are an exclusive guest of his world

no, not guest - citizen

quietly consults you on things that he struggles with and in return earnestly listens to yours

becomes a glue in your life

whenever something threatens to chip off, be it your confidence, your stability or financial state, he’s first in line to help

holiday periods are the most stressful time

because he’s always searching for the best possible gift for you

it has to be p e r f e c t

perfect gift for his perfect person

which is why he collects detailed mental notes about everything you say you want and/or need

and along with that never fails to gift something handmade

pots, jewellery, even if it’s something stupid like a worm figurine, you know he meant it explicitly for you and tried his very best

actually doing those things in his free time is a stress relief

because when he’s there, in the dark studio, alone and buckling under pressure, the thought of your smile is the only thing that keeps him from snapping completely

has picked up knitting solely to make you some mittens

now, look me in the eye and tell me that the image of Hoseok dripped out in an absolute rockstar of an outfit knitting a bright yarn with a focused expression doesn’t melt your heart

often calls you after award ceremonies, shows, concerts, flights

voice tired and fragile; he just needs some comfort

so largely a late-night phone call is a semi-routine

but when you meet, Hobi has no time to rest - it's time to feed and care for you

has a thing for offering you food

doesn’t flirt often but when he does…

…loses all shame

usually laughs afterwards to brush it off

at times, gets really nervous around you

notably in settings that make one think this is a date

bounces his knee like crazy if you’re sitting near him and he can feel the warmth radiating off your body

*opens up one button of his shirt* you’re interested in this ;)?

pretty much allows you to do anything you want

loves to style you

falls for your traps all the time

you can pout and whine, and he’ll get anything

will drop everything if you call him crying

pays so much attention to all your details he prepares things before you even arrive and/or ask for them

say, you’ve been sneezing a lot, has tissues nearby

say, you’ve got a hydrating schedule, pours you a glass of water before you even get up to do it

invites you to places all the time

even if he knows you’re going to decline

the point is he’ll always be there to greet and hang out with you

actually battles with you when you put yourself down

all the things you point out as ugly, he reframes as “cute”

has taken about a thousand of your pictures

for one week he made one as his lock screen but then changed it out of fear you’d notice

at times, he holds your face in his palms

for a short amount of time but it makes both of you feel butterflies

gives the dryest, most judgmental look to whomever tries to make a pass at you

he doesn’t even say anything merely one look can make a person lose all their self worth

often invites you to dance, always assuring that you don’t need to be coordinated or anything, he just wants you to enjoy yourself

[..]

gets off on the thought of you quite regularly

has literal library of fantasies about you

most of them downright nasty

filthy and rough is his go to

including but not limited to, fucking you in doggystyle and holding your arms crossed behind your back

has a thing for smudged mascara streaks

and probably spitting in your mouth

at his horniest, imagines a sloppy blowjob, pushing your head down on his cock and hearing you gag repeatedly

very much is driven by hard domming and allowing himself to feel like you’re his

which, of course, does hollow him out a bit when he realises the stark opposite in reality

he doesn’t exactly have a problem about picturing you in various dirty scenarios

as, no matter what he imagines, he never ever projects it onto you - he fully realises this is his own mind and he’s intended to keep all these fantasies there

even if you got together I don’t think he would confess what he thought

he’d just brush it off casually - that yes, he has had some sexual thoughts about you but he wouldn’t get into it

likes mostly to jack off on the bed as that’s where his fantasies revolve around

he knows he can’t shake off these thoughts as he has tried and failed so he leans into them but this is a very private and secretive part of himself Hoseok never wants to share

JIMIN:

no matter where or when, is always ready to meet you

at times, you’re the only thing that gets him out of the bed

good old fashioned Jimin things - shameless, needy for touch and with a big whooping praise kink

fail to compliment him and you’ll get those upset eyebrows, pout and whining combo

has a kink for your thighs

doesn’t matter what kind they are, big, thin, hate them or love them, he’ll have his hand there and be damned if anyone tries to remove it ;)

you can suggest any plans and he’ll happily join you

you want to stay home? he’ll stay in your home too lmao

kisses, so many kisses

and it’s only because it’s Jimin that you don’t notice because he’s affectionate to everyone, right?

particularly fond of neck kisses

and hickeys, the possessive little bi-

oh, and nosing at your neck, he loves it all

constantly piles up food onto your plate

sometimes he wakes up and is extra in love with you

on those days there’s nothing past his lips but rows of giggles

at other times, he wakes up pissed off and tired

he doesn’t speak at all then but still holds your hand

to let you know he’s not mad at you but at the world

you’re his happiness fairy how could he ever be mad at you

when he falls in love he becomes uh…gentler

like before his method of waking you up would be to toss a pillow into your face or just jump on top of you, now he’s a tad calmer about it

never ever get sick

he loses his mind then

gets jealous quite easily

he’s well aware of it but, damn it, sometimes the sharpness just slips

“Why don’t you run off to your other friends if they’re so wonderful?”

crawls back in like 5 minutes afterwards

but if you piss him off…

…still forgives you

the longest he’d been mad at you was two days

he wholeheartedly believes you can do no wrong

the literal embodiment of: “I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life. “I know this and I love you.”

someone could complain of how you cussed them out and punched them for good measure and at most Jimin would arch an eyebrow, and ask dryly: “what were you doing provoking them?”

speaking of, doesn’t shy away from saying “I love you”

will show up on your doorstep if you don’t contact him for like…a day lol

“so…like…” he pants, out of breath. “You’re busy or something? What’s going on?"

mentioned before, but it deserves a spotlight - constant touching; rarely his hands are completely away from you

loves to squeeze you like a stress ball, especially, how to say it, if you’re curvier in some places

doesn’t function well (re. at all) if you have a love interest on the side

literally doesn’t matter how great they are, Jimin thinks they’re below you

has probably been confronted by many of your possible dates, love interests, and partners, because it’s so obvious he’s in love with you

MOREOVER, he just acts like such a boyfriend thus most people stay far away from you as Jimin glares daggers across the distance

another one to designate you as a travel buddy

has schemed the evergreen “there was only one bed” trope

the only thing it lead to was him having atrial fibrillation for several hours as you snored softly by his side

will sit in your lap, will tug you into his lap, literally doesn’t matter, either way, is heaven

hour-long conversations occur with alarming frequency

without fail asks often how much you like him

he just needs to hear that confirmation

gorges on your snacks >:(

so incredibly focused on you, he can almost read your mind

you don’t even have to say it, if you’re sad, he’ll understand and will begin to comfort you

prefers to watch you without you realising, be it right by your side or across the room, he’ll have a small, proud smile blossoming on his face wherever you should be

fond of dragging - by the waist, by the hand, will lug you around if he wants to :)

might just be your biggest fan

practically lives at your place lol

“Just trust me!”

usually, you end up getting into some shit after he says this

hounds you to cook for him

probably sets his own selfie as your lock screen

add a heart to his contact number or face the consequences :)

sings at you often

has somehow gotten a hold of your childhood pictures and does treasure them like his own heart

has tried to kiss you a thousand times but always chickens out at the very last second

what if he ends up losing you? that’s just not a thought he can ever bear

[..]

insatiable thirst

another one who doesn’t feel all too guilty about thinking of you in that way lmao

he just reckons that these thoughts will happen so instead of pretending he can stop them, Jimin just lets them unfold in his own privacy

doesn’t have set roles like either he wants to dom or be dommed

he just wants you, so it ends up switching a lot

has thought about you scolding him, tying him up and leaving pretty nail marks

has also thought about tying you up and them overstimulating so much tears are running down your cheeks

probably has had both of these fantasies in the same night

that said, has some kinks that appear frequently

praise

cock worship

the way his ego gets stroked thinking of you going haywire about his ehm…endowment

you professing you’re his is a must in every scenario

sensual BDSM is also one of his faves

blindfolds, silk bondage, wax play

everything that asks for equal trust and submission (on both sides) drives him nuts

might even edge himself with these fantasies

picture them in clear detail and not even touch himself

so that eventually the relief is so overwhelming, he gets dizzy

definitely moans your name

blatantly checks you out

holds intense eye contact just to see you get flustered

gets inappropriately and insanely hard when you’re mean and fired up

going to a club with Jimin, means a lot of grinding and whispering in your ear

presses your delirious, intoxicated figure into his, so close that at one point you could swear that the point of where you ended and he began was obliterated

has lowkey sent you his nudes and asked which one looks better

probably has had hookups with other people and couldn’t get off if he didn’t pretend it was you

that’s the only thing he’s ever gotten conflicted about

TAEHYUNG:

Bold, with a capital B

acts like your boyfriend, no question about it

good night texts

weird, cryptic, out-of-context selfies and videos sent in the middle of the night

your gallery has 1001 pics of Tannie

and also his fe- *gunshot*

gets so giggly if you’re jealous

it’s honestly hilarious that you feel the need to worry about him not being enamoured with you

lives to tease you

if you’re more a tsundere and/or reserved type…

…lord help you

he will make it his life mission to smother you in love

lowkey kidnaps you for car rides and to accompany him on the chores

shameless about asking for attention and affection

he’ll just take it if you’re stubborn T-T

sends you love songs passed off as music recommendations

loves to surprise you with little gifts

wants to be pampered and will fight for it to happen

has millions of your pictures in his camera roll

…..

and YES MOST OF THEM ARE BLURRY

not only set your pic as his home screen, but it’s also his MF LOCK SCREEN

permanently

has one picture of you framed in his house

speaking of - always finds excuses for you to hang out in his house

“Stay,” he whispers, catching you by the elbow as you try to leave. “Just a bit longer.”

misses you constantly

invites you to slow dance

is the most confident *cough* delusional about you both ending up as a couple

has made people blush with the way he stares at you

“He doesn’t even blink,” someone laughs, the sound falling thin and awkward. “It’s like he wants to eat you or something.”

gives those types of hugs where he envelops you fully, resting his chin on your shoulder

has lowkey obsession with linking arms as you walk

if you’re fighting can’t think straight until it's resolved

though, of course, he’s very stubborn about it cause Tae will remain Tae

you might naturally ask - if he’s so brazen why doesn't he just confess

well, it’s more so for your sake than his own

'cause while Tae is ready to commit, he treasures your comfort

so for the time being he’s okay with all of this; as long as you’re happy

probably carries some sort of token of yours wherever he goes

will fight for your honour until his last breath

doesn’t allow anyone to tease you, not even the boys, that’s only for him

singing matches in the car

regular movie nights during which no one is even watching the movie lmao

entrusts you with Tannie

though not before completing a two-hour-long presentation about how to properly care for the guy

mentions you constantly

the members are probably exhausted from hearing about how great you are

says “I love you” often but always becomes wistful

‘cause you’re not his yet properly

uses all of your shit >:\

from shampoo to dishtowel, what’s yours is his lmaooo

is honestly so annoying

and cOckY

he knows you love him (even if it’s just as a friend for now) so he just gets on your nerves a lot

purely because he can

and then gives that shit-eating grin

because what are you going to do about it? ;)

pull his hair? ;)

scold him? ;)

oh no ;) what a nightmare ;))

he doesn't much interfere with you getting a side fling (he thinks of himself as your main man)

but he won’t pretend he’s happy about it

will visibly sulk and get upset when you mention someone else’s name

generally have the foulest of moods if you’re attention is grasped by another

wants to go to the gym, just to impress you

with little success

matching shirts and accessories, notably while on vacation

if he cooks for you and you don’t like it, pouts for an entire hour

watches out for you constantly

ropes you into ridiculous games

always accompanies you with his gaze

when travelling pulls up your picture and stares at it, will do so even in a crowd

[..]

doesn’t often let himself slip in sexual thoughts

in his mind that’s just for the future

as it’s simply inevitable you’ll end up together

however, when he does, he solely fantasises about you getting off

how would you do it, would there be toys, would you moan, would you bite your lip that sort of thing

sometimes in those fantasies he imagines you know he’s watching you and put on a show

Taehyung loooves a good show

has a thing for voyeurism

wears shirts that barely cover his chest and then sits on your bed, saying nothing but meaning everything in the half lidded stare, in the slow way he moves his hips…

if you wear shorts to bed, will check you out while biting his lip

loves to be all over you when intoxicated

has probably kissed you drunkenly once

and now it’s referred to as “the incident”

JUNGKOOK:

a literal fucking SIMP T-T

prepare to be bugged every time, all the time

does and says the most ridiculous things just to be noticed by you

does your chores and/or accompanies you on grocery runs

will scoff if you give him attitude but secretly enjoys it

is unintentionally bold

he could completely say “love took shape when I first laid eyes on you” without breaking a sweat

but holding your gaze for longer than 5 seconds? nah, find someone else to do it

actually don’t

Because, and you knew this was coming,

p o s s e s s i v e

but in like a healthy way

(...partially)

he would never think of prohibiting you in any sort of way

baby wants you to grow and flourish :(

but others are a fair game lmao

your little storm cloud glaring left and right, brewing and just wanting to be left alone with you

“That’s mY bUsInEsS,” he huffs when asked about this

obedient

and also not??

it’s hard to explain

ig depends on whether he wants to be praised or be granted your blissfully annoyed attention

scared shitless of telling you how much he loves you but he’s also so obvious it’s really doing him no favours

no. 1 back hug enthusiast

and I know I said this a lot already about the other boys, but Jungkook is really the no. 1

likes to hold you and from the side, it looks like he’s holding you down so you can’t escape

“Jungkook, would you ease? They’re not running away.”

“No.”

usually follows your whims and wishes (‘cause of the SIMP status)

but at times he can get so obstinate about particular topics

no amount of arguing or reasoning can persuade him

“No, and that’s final (-_-)”

usually, it revolves around your health or going out with someone (or sharing food lmaoo)

big on gestures of affection, both from you and from him

think of like peeling a perilla leaf, or putting something on his plate that you know he likes

literally swoons over these things

because they’re so domestic and so important to him

it’s proof that you’re close to him

you’re like a star in his sky so he just assumes everyone is out here trying to marry you

even if it’s not remotely true

hangs out at your place and invites you to his 50/50

sharing takeout or dinners at random places is a must

whatever stupid joke comes to his mind, it’s shared with you

doesn’t cook for you often but enjoys the hell out of it lmao

look at him being a good husband material

protective

spaces out on you a lot

can forget to talk and listen because he’s just staring 0.0

shamelessly abuses the power of his doe eyes

anything to make you forgive him lol

will steal your food

you can come home and find entire cupboards absolutely annihilated

loves to gift you cute things

while he may not understand some of your hobbies or interests, especially if they’re the polar opposite of his, he always tries his best to make you feel heard and be respectful

teases you a lot

pokes and pinches you if he feels like it’s been too peaceful for too long

imitates you, endearingly

kiss his cheek and watch him self-destruct from inside

when abroad often sends you little voice messages just before falling asleep

with his voice all groggy he confesses how much he’s missing you

…and your cereal

smells your hair, especially when cuddling

you can be laying peacefully

and then you hear the “pfffffffff hmm pffffffffffffffffff”

may even gift or suggest some shampoos and shower gels whose scent he enjoys

has to physically restrain himself from slapping your butt

[..]

he’s in the middle level of tapping his spank bank if you know what I mean

it’s not rare but he prefers to distract himself in other ways

otherwise looking at you afterwards is just too damn awkward

that said, his favourite fantasies are different than others because he’s not actively thinking about sex

(well, sometimes he does but that’s another story)

however, he’s really into groping

into soft and lazy makeout during which he can grope you all he wants

it’s domesticity for him

taking things slow as well as having your agreement to everything he’d suggest

he loves to fantasise about that freedom, that should he want to he could just take you on the couch

have your legs shaking and arms clawing at his back

it’s just comfortable

has a thing for fucking you while you wear only his shirt or hoodie

he likes to think about how he’d be kneading your ass, teasing and turning you on

how soft and warm you’d be

how you’d taste and feel

has a small brat-tamer streak within him as ironic as it is given who the og brat really is

so occasionally he’d dip into those fantasies of playfully subduing and edging you till begging comes up ;)

Hii, i have been occupied and wanted to come back to watch BLS, my last one was naughty babe. So what's are your current obsession!?

Anon, you have missed a lot in the last six months! BL Land has had several shows in that time, and, of course, I've consumed most of them. My capability to become obsessed with a show is unparalleled, and as I mentioned in my last obsession list, I can be obsessed about several things simultaneously. Since you've been out for a minute, let me recap some of the shows I sent a Valentine's Day card too.

Note: These are NOT recommendations.

Shows I liked for color reasons but wasn't obsessed:

Twins

Pit Babe

Middleman's Love

My Dear Gangsta Oppa

Bake Me Please (* I AM obsessed with the lead actor, Guide)

Shows I liked for the colors AND the plot but wasn't always obsessed with:

The Sign

Perfect Propose

I Cannot Reach You

7 Days Before Valentine

I Became a Lead in a BL Drama

Shows I should've been obsessed with if I was normal:

Cooking Crush

Love for Love's Sake

Cherry Magic (Thailand)

So now that we recapped some of the shows I was mildly normal about, it's time for me to reveal the shows I'm currently so obsessed with that I cut off some of their hair while they slept and now I'm attaching it to a cloth doll in hopes of binding us together.

For. Ev. Ah.

Dead Friend Forever (forever, forever, ever, forever, ever?)

Obsession Level - Buying us matching BFF necklaces with vials of our blood attached to them after my therapist tells me my relationship with it is unhealthy, and I need to take a step back from it.

It just ended, and it isn't a BL, but I have no words. If I tried to explain why I'm so obsessed with this show, people would be really worried about my sanity. I can't stop thinking about it. I don't want to stop thinking about it. I hate all the characters. I love all the characters. I want them all dead. I want to raise them from the dead and make them do it all again. I want to heal them. I want to make them worse. I want to be in that house with them.

Unknown

Obsession Level - Holding pictures of it close to my heart while I lay in bed even though it is laying right next to me in the same bed because I need it to fully grasp just how crazy about it I am and have been.

It's Taiwanese. It's color coded. It's about "brothers." And if you looked at my previous obsessed list, you know those three items are a clear path to Obsession City for me (Looking at you, Kiseki: Dear to Me).

Anti Reset

Obsession Level - Baking all its favorite sweet treats and sitting them on its porch early in the morning then running away even though I know the security camera is filming me each time (which is why I wear cute outfits when I do it).

It's Taiwanese. It's color coded. It's about a robot. It doesn't hit all the points on my obsession scale, but it's part of Vidol/VBL's universe, so it has my attention and a little bit of my heart.

Lady Boy Friends

OB. SESSED! Level - Knowing it's expired and toxic, but I can't stop eating it because if ending up in the hospital is the price I have to pay and possible death, then I guess that's the sacrifice I gotta make.

It's a remake of a 2015 series, it dropped with no promo, and only one episode has aired, yet this show is hellbent on being a whole ass problem, so of course my trashy ass loves it. There is transphobia, homophobia, sexual harassment, colorism, elitism, and every other -ism that it could pile in because the entire show is begging to be everyone's trigger warning. There is a love story in there somewhere, but I don't give two shits about it when the skinny femmes and the fat femmes are fighting, and the one pictured above is about to enter her villain origin story. The subtitler is doing the Lord's work, and I feel truly blessed with this hot ass mess.

But please remember, one person's trash taste is not another person's treasure, so THESE ARE NOT RECOMMENDATIONS!

#my current obsessions #dead friend forever and ever and ever ever #unknown #anti reset #lady boy friends #NOT RECOMMENDATIONS #I'm trash and I know it

Your wish is my command, @failedcrow

HOW EPITHETS WORK:

BASICALLY ive come to the conclusion that depending on how general or specific a word is when it comes to an Epithet, the more 'powers' you have (which ive deducted is part of the creativity portion of the epithet reveal card)

For example, if you had an Epithet thats very specific to one thing, like Blizzard, Barrier, etc, you can only do that one thing and thats your whole deal. But if the word is way more general, like Winter, Protection, etc, the more the person can do.

I also dont think hyphenated words count for Epithets, since its technically a 2 in 1? Which I would say isnt fair, but then again Zora is super fucking op for no reason. But I do doubt that someone could get Immortality as their epithet.

I think in the lore you're born with your Epithet, but the way the "word tied to your soul" thing works is kind of like a Witch's bile sac in TOW (with the sac being the word you get your magic from)

FOR THE EPITHET REVEAL CARDS:

I've done a fair share of thinking and eventually came to a few conclusions that all depend on both DND stats and common sense

Proficiency: Strength, Molly made a comment abt Mera and Indus having REALLY high Proficiency, Id i were to look at this from a dnd perspective, Proficiency is a bonus to one skill, which doesn't exactly make sense in the context

Stamina: How long you can last in battle, this just feels obvious tbh

Creativity: I'm torn on this one, cuz I'm thinking its either how many moves a person with an epithet can have OR how interesting/how much thought is put into their movesets. But im leaning more towards the second option since my first theory i technically disproved myself

ERASER CUFFS:

Ok im gonna be honest, the whole way Eraser cuffs work is stupid. Just.... forgetting the Epithet? That raises more questions then answers for me, the ending of episode 7 shouldnt have been possible considering what couldve happened in episode 5 (when Mera and Indus got arrested)

And how does Percy remember her Epithet stamina??? Look, I understand RAMSEY remembering HER Epithet, but I think I have a better idea;

Basically, the cuffs click onto your wrists (feels like a spike color) and it locks off your Epithet until the cuffs come off. After that its a few minute delay to get your Epithet flow back, since its connected to your heart and normally body parts take a while to get blood circulation if cut off, Epithet circulation is gonna be like that too.

"BUT NOAH!!! IF THATS YOUR LOGICAL REASONING WHAT ABT THE ARSENE AMULET?"

For me; it'd work in a similar way, its just that when the cuffs are removed your Epithet comes back. In the case of the Arsene amulet, I say an Epithet user gets their cool powers sucked out from the chest area (Mera did that with Slyvie in ep 4) and then the sac, and the word in it just- schwoop! Gone!

Of course, because of plot, you can get it back. But I have a feeling it has a limit on how many Epithets it can hold before it expells yours. And also before your body just- straight up deflates/gives out from all the Epithets. Pretty sure you can only handle ONE considering it's a ONE WORD ABILITY!!!!!!!

So thats my Epithet Erased rant! Enjoy >:)

If you had to recommend a starter pokemon game for someone who has never played a single pokemon game, nor watched the anime, or owned the cards ... which would you pick?

just for context really quickly, when i say "gen [x]" i am referring to the sets of games that all came out at around the same time and are capable of communicating with eachother directly without transfers.

gen 1 = pokemon red and green (originals), red and blue (international releases), and yellow (third version) gen 2 = pokemon gold and silver (originals) and crystal (definitive edition) gen 3 = pokemon ruby and sapphire (originals) and emerald (definitive edition), pokemon fire red and leaf green (gen 1 remakes) gen 4 = pokemon diamond and pearl (originals) and platinum (definitive edition), pokemon heart gold and soul silver (gen 2 remakes) gen 5 = pokemon black and white (originals), pokemon black 2 and white 2 (sequels) (no pokemon gray) gen 6 = pokemon x and y (originals), pokemon omega ruby and alpha sapphire (gen 3 remakes) gen 7 = pokemon sun and moon (originals), pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon (remakes)

i would say pokemon black / white because to me they feel like the pokemon gen 1 of "modern" pokemon to me. they feature an entirely original set of 156 pokemon without any of the ones from prior games available until the postgame so it's kind of like a fresh start for the series almost?? which i think would make it good for someone just picking the series up for the first time because in my opinion it kind of feels like a second attempt at a first instalment

i also think that they're really immersive games in general. the music is really well done (they have different tracks for each in-game season which is really cute) and since they're like.. the 3rd set of games made for the DS i feel like like were just able to make it look really good graphically.

i also feel like it just has a really strong story compared to some other pokemon games like character-wise. the "rival" characters are really really cute and i find them just so endearing. you also get to see N throughout the whole story and he's probably one of the most popular pokemon characters of all time LOL

i recommend black and white over black2 / white2 only because. as a first game the original black and white aren't sequels LMAO. even though black2 and white2 feature more pokemon and some quality of life improvements i feel like they would be better played as sequels...

otherwise i would probably recommend like... pokemon omega ruby / alpha sapphire? the gen 3 games are really solid and while i would normally recommend emerald as the definitive edition over the remakes there's a lot of features in gen 6 that i really love that i feel make up for the story differences (alongside it adding some plot stuff absent in the original games? but then again that stuff doesn't make a huge amount os sense without playing x and y so idk..) you can pet your pokemon and play minigames with them, there's way more pokemon available, a lot of mechanics are way more transparent, the day/night cycle is visible (in the original gen 3 games you could set the in-game clock but the overworld wouldn't change appearance) etc.

also pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon are apparently really good. i haven't played them but i heard that they have like an extended storyline and additional features compared to sun and moon which seem to be strong games on their own from what i've played?

and pokemon platinum.... gen 4 games have probably the best music in the series and the plot is kind of grand which makes it fun to play. it is the definitive version of the gen 4 games and is treated as wildly better in most circles than the original diamond and pearl which is why i wouldn't recommend the switch diamond and pearl remakes over them (i only talked about gb -> 3ds games anyways but yknow). pokemon platinum can be played independently of any other games in the series but the caveat for me is that it introduces a lot of cool pokemon as evolutions to previous ones that are just really difficult to get 😔 beautiful games still

How (some of) the Freds respond to being flirted with :D

this is simply my pov of them so read more under the cut!! >:DD

1. Normal Fred: Depending on how close the two of you are, he'd either give you a curious eyebrow raise, before smirking and chuckling, looking away with an eye roll. or he'd scoff, glaring at you. no two ways about it. 2. Toy Fred: he didn't hear you. he was busy playing Mr. Hugs because he's been on night 2 for ages and he just can't seem to win!! 3. Withered Fred: He'd look surprised, no matter how close you were. probably flushing a little if he's seen you around a little. I feel like he's the type to be a hopeless romantic, so he's probably thought you were cute since you started working there. how you two knew of each other's existence without the threat of being mauled to death is beyond me but that doesn't really matter. And if you two were closer and there wasn't the anxiety of the other animatronics finding out about you two being friends anymore he'd probably be flirty back. and by God is this man bold. 4. Phantom Fred: ...What? 5. Nightmare Fred: Refer to 4. 6. Funtime Fred: Immediate witty response. especially if you two get along really well. like, if he was just your favourite character and you wanted to 'shoot your shot' while either working there at night or being out with them all to watch over them as they were rented out, he would give you a grin and immediately shoot back with some 'careful, cupcake. or you're gonna distract me from entertaining the kids.' And if you guys are close?? this man will not let you live. if you flirt with him he's coming back at you with TWICE as much force. not stopping until you're shy and flustered 7. FNAF world: ...Refer to 5 8. Rockstar Fred: If you guys don't know each other well he'd probably just assume you're boosting his ego. which would work but he wouldn't really take the flirt to heart. but if you somehow got around his balloon head and were able to have a conversation with him. hed more than likely fall quick. near the beginning of this, he'd probably get cocky, and flirt back, maybe not very good ones but he's trying his best. and if he's fallen he's fallen hard. And, if you were to flirt with him he'd probably flush, look around slightly, then slowly walk away, stammering as he did so, not wanting to embarrass himself. 9. Lefty: If you didn't know him all too well I feel like he wouldn't even respond, just looking at you blankly. and it would probably be awkward between you two for the next week (but he did appreciate the comment) you would probably end up becoming better friends if you played your cards right. and if you guys were already friends I think he'd flush, and a small smile would end up on his face as he looked away shyly. and if you two were close? hed get this mischievous smirk on his face as he boldly flirted back. bonus points if it's in front of other people. he liked to see you flustered and embarrassed. it was funny. 10. Glamrock Fred: Not knowing each other well, he'd probably smile, say thanks, and then move on. and that was his usual for most if not all flirting. if you guys were friends and you said that he'd probably flush, smiling widely before saying something corny like 'Right back at you' or 'I could say the same for you!' and maybe even flirt back if he felt like it. now, if you were close? this could go one or two ways. he could either blush and flirt back. Or, he would start talking to you with this teasing tone, and slight smile. and wouldn't back down till you did. and yes. he would continue to do this around the others. and no, he wouldn't care at all.

Valentines with the 7 Brothers

Fandom: Obey Me! Shall we Date?

Pairings: All 7 Brothers x MC (separately)

Categories: Headcanons, Romantic, Self-insert

Pronouns used: none

Warnings and notes: No warnings other than my lack of proofreading. Ya boy hasn't done ANY writing for, like, 2 years, so... I'm back!! On a whole new account!!! The old one was, like, fandom shenanigans or something and "shenanigans" was spelt wrong? But yeah-

Lucifer

He probably thinks it's an arbitrary thing to start, Devildom mythology is different from human realm mythology, so I'm not sure if they'd even have a celebration like it before the exchange program.

Either way, once he knows how much it means to you, he's going to make a point of spoiling you however you'd like.

Want to go out? He's asking when and where. You would rather stay in? Absolutely, he's getting you blankets.

You can try to get him a gift, but know that he's going to make it a competition and try to get you something "better"

One of the very few times he'd just be soft. He's already very affectionate in public anyway - you're his and everyone should know that - but for once he'll admit that he's yours too. You have this man in a chokehold.

In terms of his preference for a valentines date, I think he'd want to go out to somewhere fancy for the evening. He would absolutely get you flowers and a sentimental gift (a ring? Maybe).

He also seems like the kind of man to dance with you. Not necessarily in some event, but the car park after you finish your meal or the kitchen in the HOL if you wanted to bake something together.

Mammon

Man is SMITTEN and very much looking forward to Valentines.

This is his chance to spoil you and (maybe) not get in trouble with Lucifer for spending money! He's absolutely getting in trouble with Lucifer.

He'd absolutely get some very lavish gifts for you and is very much willing to accept any gifts you give him.

Even if you're already a couple, he would feel the need to ask you. He doesn't realise that, for couples, it's usually implied that you'll be together on Valentines day.

He's happy to go out, but he'd prefer to stay in on his date with you. He feels it's more sentimental and he's more comfortable to be affectionate when the two of you are alone.

He seems like he'd give you breakfast in bed (or at least try, he also seems like he'd struggle to cook) and spend most of the day cuddling in his bed with you. And if you needed to go somewhere, he'd carry you there. You are not leaving his side all day.

Leviathan

He consumes what may be an unhealthy amount of romance animes and mangas, he already knows what valentine's day is.

He's got no clue what to do really, but he's trying his best.

He'll get the traditional red roses and heart chocolates for you. It's already halfway through the day when he does and he's been so anxious that he's avoided you all day.

He's staying in. You're not even pulling him out of his room, let alone to a restaurant of any kind.

Cuddles and anime binge/marathon though. That's peak romance for this man tbh.

He'd struggle with gifts, I think. He'd probably get a game for you to play together, a small console like his if you dont have one or matching gaming accessories for the two of you.

Asmodeus

It's Asmo... Yes, he knows what Valentines day is and yes he loves it.

He's going all out for the whole day and buying you literally anything you want, he's so excited and so in love.

He's happy to go out or stay in or whatever you want. He just wants to spend the whole day with you and doesn't care who's around to see how affectionate he is towards you.

He is so close to you all day, always linking arms, holding hands or cuddling. He just needs to be touching you at all times.

While he does normally flirt with others (only if its been ok-ed between the two of you), he's cut all of it off today. His attention is on you and you only.

At the end of the day, he'll show you the cards he was given from other people so you guys can laugh about the poetry and different messages.

Satan

He's well-versed in all kinds of mythology because he loves to read, so he knows the history and stories behind the holiday but didn't realise how important it actually was to you before you told him.

A cat cafe date and mystery book exchange is his ideal date and he won't budge on doing that, but he'll leave enough time in thr day to make sure you get to do exactly what you want (if you dont already love his date idea).

He's not any more affectionate than normal, at least not in a way that's obvious, but every now and then you'll catch him staring at you with a smile on his face while you're reading together.

Spending the whole evening reading together in his room or in the living room by the main fireplace.

He doesn't necessarily strike me as the kind to do crochet or knitting, but I think he would at least try to make a cosy blanket for you as a gift.

Beelzebub

He had no idea what Valentine's day was before you told him. He still doesn't really get it, but he wants to make you happy so...

He would prefer to go out for a nice meal, but he's happy to stay in with you if you want.

He would at least try to bake something for you as a gift, but he can't promise he won't eat it before it gets to you...

All else fails, you guys bake together because he just really wants to make something for you.

Puts his usual routine on hold for the day - the gym can wait because today is special to you.

He's carrying you literally everywhere, no questions asked.

Belphegor

Doesn't know about valentines and says he doesn't care, but honestly? He does care, because he likes how excited about it you are.

Forgets to get anything for you until last minute, he ends up asking Beel to pick up a bouquet for you. For the sake of his feelings, you pretend you didn't hear the phone call or see Beel walk back into the house with the flowers.

He's not going out. At all. You've got no chance of dragging his ass on any kind of outdoorsy date or fancy dinner.

However, sleepy cuddles and kisses in the attic room with him, only because his shared room with Beel isn't as private.

He's normally quite clingy if you're already dating, but if this is the start of your relationship his clinginess is actually pretty surprising. For how much he sleeps, he's quite strong, so you're not leaving his bed.

CHASING THE GAMBLER

KOKONOI HAJIME X GAMBLING ADDICT

CW: MNDI*GAMBLING*RUSSIAN ROULETTE*ADDICTION*SUICIDE*ANGST

"ROYAL FLUSH MOTHER FUCKERS!" You showed them your cards and their jaw dropped. The money at stake was too high and Kokonoi couldn't afford to lose to anyone. Not to the old fucks around the table and certainly not to you. But he did.

"Ey, suck my dick stupid ass bitches!" You cheerfully yell before pulling all of your opponents chips closer to you.

"H-how what the fuck...." Kokonoi Hajime couldn't believe he just lost to you. He was more baffled compare to the others. It's the first time he played with you and he didn't expect you to hit him with a royal flush.

"I'm a good poker player, my daddy taught me. My brother is a professional poker player too." You explained to him.

"N-no. How? You just won 29 million you-" He couldn't form a sentence making you chuckle. He underestimated you. He didn't think you had a chance of winning. Hell! He was confident no one had the chance of winning against him.

"One more game." He says panicking over his 7 million lost.

"You already lost 7 million are you ready to lose more?"

"I'm not gonna lose again."

"Oh, darlin' I bet you all of these chips you're going to lose again." He shakes his head not believing that you're challenging him.

"S-sure, let's play again." You smirked and snapped your hands three times catching one of the servers attention. He served you a bourbon and you chugged it at one go before returning your attention to Kokonoi.

"I only play one game every night but I'll make an exception if you agree to play Russian roulette with me." Kokonoi doesn't like Russian roulette but he was too absorbed and pissed at you to back out now. That's how the two of you ended up facing each other with a revolver on your hand. People gathering around curious to see if one of you will blow their own brains. What was at stake? Well, 36 million and your own life. What more could you ask for? You look like a normal human being outside but inside you're twisted. Having a loaded revolver on your temple would make a sane person tremble from fear but you? Having it on your temple makes you tremble from arousal. Being close to the other life is your pleasure. It gives you an unexplainable adrenaline and euphoria. That's the main reason why people who knows you well refuses to play games with you. They know you'll go further and further until death finally opens the door you've been knocking at since you were 13.

"She's fucking crazy." Someone from the crowd says as you pull the trigger of the revolver four times in a row pushing your luck or simply just asking for death.

"What the fuck!" Kokonoi shouted at you. You only left him with three more slots to go through. One bullet filled one slot and his chance of survival is low but if he manage to pull it off he'll win. He was about to take the gun from your hand but you pulled the trigger once more.

The crowd was petrified. Only two slots remaining. Kokonoi froze his chance 50/50. You were fearless and didn't hesitate to risk your life. After the first pull of the trigger his heart got eaten by fear but yours weren't. It only lit up your darkest desire and it made you pull the trigger four more times. You sighed disappointed that you didn't get your brains blown off and you hesitantly push the gun towards him. He was shaking from fear. If he pulls this off... He'll win. But 50/50 was his chance... You exceeded the odds of dying. Pulling the trigger five times was out of the ordinary and he was sure that you'll get yourself killed after the second pull but like earlier he was wrong. You are not normal. It seems that even though you're running towards Satan he refuses to let you enter hell. It shows how sick and twisted you are.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TAKE THE GUN!" You screamed at him after a minute passed and he hasn't taken the gun from you yet. His breathing fast and his throat dry. His eyes that are engulfed with fear fell on the gun on your hand but still. He refused to take it. You got impatient and in a swift move you were straddling him. Your eyes wide and psychotic not liking the fact that he's refusing to play the game.

"Take the gun and pull the trigger."

"I-I I...."

"Why don't I pull the trigger for you!" You came up with a good idea. You alinged your head with his and placed the gun on his temple. He tried to push you off but you didn't let him. You keep a firm hold to his body.

"Isn't this beautiful? Two strangers dying together. A beautiful end for the two of us..." He felt your fingers slowly move towards the trigger and he knew he messed up.

"YOU WIN!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"YOU WIN! OKAY! STOP!"

Kokonoi screamed stopping you from pulling the trigger. A dark chuckle came out of your lips.

Coward.

His chest rapidly rose and sank. Diamond shape sweat drips from his forehead, iron grip on your waist. You moved your face in front of him the gun still pointed on his temple.

"STOP! YOU WIN!" He yelled again wanting the gun to be away from him. You pulled his chin down and made him look into your bored light pink eyes. You were unimpressed and dissatisfied. And he was fearful. Fearful of a girl he barely knows.

"You fear death?"

"GET OFF!" You only laugh to his commands.

"See? I was right. I'm never wrong. I warned you but you didn't listen to me. Now.... you lost 14 million." You mocked him as you moved the gun from his temple down to his throat making his tension rise.

"I'm a Bonten executive you won't get away if you kill me." He yells desperately wants to be away from you.

"Kill you?" You chuckle.

"What's fun of killing someone who did nothing to you?" Kokonoi can't understand you. Not one bit.

"Your fear of losing money will someday kill you." You said before putting the gun on your temple pulling the trigger.

But once again. Death didn't want you. Yet.

The crowd gasped both in fear and amazement. 6 in a row. You escaped death.

"You could've won if you didn't chicken out." You tell him before shooting the ceiling. Kokonoi was immediately relief when the bullet was finally shot. The crowd backs away as fragments of the ceiling falls down.

"I don't like seeing fear. I love seeing fearless opponets." You pat his shoulders with your hands before getting off of him.

Kokonoi. He's... surprised? It's the first time he wasn't able to read someone. And it's the first time after years his heart beat weirdly. It's stupid. You were just a second away from killing both of you but he can't help but to feel an attraction for you. It's a strong one for him because he wasn't able to take off his eyes off of you as you walk away disappearing through the crowds of shocked people leaving all of the chips you've won. His eyes landed on them and he realized money meant nothing to you. Another reason for him to-

You're not Akane- you're far from Akane. She was.... gentle, delicate, kind, she's not someone who will play games of death. She's someone angelic and perfect and his one love. And you're the girl who... You're the girl who almost sent him to his death. The girl he lost 14 million to. That's it... That's all you are. He kept telling himself as he walks around the casino trying to find you. Hoping to see your long raven black hair and light green eyes. That's all you are his opponent. You're just a psychotic girl he needs to take revenge to. You're not someone who will make him happy. You're just a gambling addict. He forcefully punch those thoughts into his mind while grabbing the girl he thought was you.

You're just a gambling addict.

He repeats as his heart sank realizing he got the wrong person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If he met you again, what would he say? What would he do? As he keeps searching for you every time he goes to the casino those thoughts run to his mind.

He tried asking for your name. Going as far as starting a man hunt but no one could ever find you. People around him says you're not worth the trouble and you'll just leave him in a dark place but he didn't care.

He felt sick to his stomach when he realized satan might've finally opened his door for you. He dropped his cards on the table not minding the money on the line.

He ran towards the bathroom and threw up. He was scared. Scared for a girl he barely knows.

"You were looking for me?"

His tired and restless eyes widens as he saw you through the mirror. Leaning on the wall with your arms and legs crossed looking beautiful as ever.

"You shouldn't be looking for someone like me."

"You didn't take your money." He tried to mask his excitement not wanting you to think of him as pathetic.

"I don't mind the money baby, I'm fucking rich as fuck. What I do mind is you starting a man hunt for my head and me not being able to play for my death." You pulled out a pocket knife and tapped it on your head 3 times.

"You misunderstood- I I want- would like to get to know you." An amused smile appeared on your face as you uncrossed your arms standing straight.

"Wash your mouth and come with me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You led him to the rooftop and you sat on the egde.

"Come." You motion him to sat beside you and he did. Not remembering the fact that you're suicidal.

The night skies are pretty and you couldn't help but to admire them. Hajime watched you his heart slowly getting warmer and warmer despite of the cold night.

"Why do you live?" Your sudden question stunned him.

Why do I live?

He has no answer.

You softly smile before tossing the diamond dice on your hand he didn't noticed in the air.

Finally.

He was confused. He didn't know why you tossed the dice and he didn't know why you looked so happy when it showed 3 golden dots. But he didn't questioned you. As long as your happy he's content.

"I'm Ayaka." He nods taking off his jacket and draping it on your shoulder. You thanked him and handed him the dice.

"What's this for?"

"Token of our friendship."

"You're odd." You laughed and rolled your eyes.

"I am."

"Are you free around 3 pm tomorrow?" He asked you hiding his red face.

"I am. I'll be free anytime starting tonight."

"Great, let's go on a date."

"Sure."

He was surprised that you agreed. He thought you'll reject him but he was happy you didn't.

"Don't lose that dice for me will you? You'll definitely need it someday." You made him promise before asking him to bring you your favorite drink. "Pina colada."

Kokonoi was overjoyed for the first time in years. He was happy. And his happiness faded as soon as it started.

"A GIRL JUST JUMPED!"

His body froze. He was climbing the stairs when he heard the frenzy about a girl's body lying limp in front of the casino.

He went out with your requested drink still in his hand. The crowd parted as the Bonten executive made his way to you.

You look so peaceful lying in front of the casino. Blood oozing out of your body.

His heart shattered for the second time.

Why do you live?

Your question echoed in his mind. He had no reason. No reason at all.

You were just alive and you were just warming his freezing heart. Now you're rapidly chilling. He slowly kneeled in front of you moving your head onto his lap.

Even after witnessing deaths of multiple traitors and even after causing death. It was a disturbing sight for him to see.

It was disturbing for him to see you happier now that you're lifeless. It was so disturbing to realized you've always been in misery, and death was the only thing that helped you achieve peace.

Kokonoi placed a kiss on your forehead before looking at the dice you gave him.

"Token of our friendship."

You could've been the reason he lives. But he'll never be yours.

I CANT HOLD IT IN ANYMORE BUT LEONA SMELLING MALLEUS’ FAINT SCENT ON HIS OMEGA BECAUSE READER HANGS AROUND TSUNOTAROU A BIT TOO MUCH 😃😃👍

☾︎ 8:02 𝐏𝐌 ☽︎ 𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚝𝚎..

𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝙻𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚊 𝙺𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚕𝚊𝚛

warnings: nsfw because i'm going to make this cockroach eat cacti for dinner for a whole month (possessive leona!!!, mild choking, slight manhandling, and rough!!) ahah, sem...tsk tsk tsk... 📸

leona had always fucking hated ruts.

he hated not being being to rest well because of his erection. he despised having to wake up being pissed, irritated, and ready to punch someone. he doesn't enjoy having to masturbate nearly the whole day to calm down his hormones — he would take rut supressants but he doesn't like the side effects which can give him a headache or something.

and he fucking loathes not being around his omega.

that was before he was mated. he always had to tend to himself during ruts. ruggie doesn't want to come close to him sometimes because he just snaps. either way, leona doesn't want to be around anyone for a week.

but now that he's bonded, where the fuck is the person that SHOULD — no, MUST be around him for 5-7 days?

nowhere.

and that just stimulates too much vexations in him that he's ready to tear up the whole night raven college just having to look for his omega. plus, if his normal pheromones are already strong enough to dominate a room, then his pre and inter rut scent can make you weak.

"i-i'll go get them for you. just stay he— leona—!"

"shut the fuck up."

ruggie halted. now, he's terrified. leona could literally KILL just by looking at you. his pupils are dilated and, visibly, the way his face scowled meant he's ready to murder someone. this is no joke; kingscholar is going feral.

the whole savanaclaw dormitory is, miraculously and terrifyingly, quiet when leona went out of his room. it seems like the vigorous magical shift training he went through wasn’t helping anymore. alpha, beta, omega, they can all smell the heavy scent he was emitting. they would sigh in relief if he wouldn't glance in their direction. after all, he had one objective in mind and that is to get YOU on his BED.

and you pissed him off with your absence, alright.

you knew he was going into rut any time soon. you could smell it, sense it, see it. it was still his pre-heat week, that's what made you so comfortable to be away from him. that's what you kept as an excuse in your head. for what? to be around malleus? an alpha that could make YOUR alpha go feral?

you're playing a dangerous card here, y/n.

two of the nrc's most powerful alphas, most known rivals.

the moment he stepped foot inside the main building, the petrifying strength of his scent has made nearly every student step away, hide in their classrooms, cover their nose, and stare as he walked by.

he has heightened senses, as an alpha, being in a rut, and being a lion. it didn't take long for him to find you in the library. you didn't even have to see him to know he's coming, before he could enter the library, you could already smell him.

the omega in you nearly had a heart attack. you can smell how pissed he is, how he's ready to teach you a lesson. your heart was beating faster stronger you can smell him and you gulped. his smell was affecting you already. standing up, you ran inside the maze of bookshelves.

you know how leona won't hesitate to carry you back to the dorm. he's strong; you can't talk him out or calm him down with that strength of his.

the door to the library slammed open. students mumbled and whispered as they watched leona go within the aisle of bookshelves. why are you even hiding? he can easily smell you. he can smell the pooling arousal in your underwear after whiffing his scent.

"omega." he growled.

the predator has caught his prey.

you were frozen, a dear caught in headlights. did you really think it was clever of you to run to the corners? the deepest areas of the library? no. you can never outsmart the alpha of alphas.

"l..leona..." you whimpered, pressing your back to the shelf and placing your hands out to him. "okay..okay i'm coming back to the dorm with you—"

and he smelled him on you.

malleus draconia's SCENT was on HIS OMEGA.

that was the final straw, y/n.

he growled, so audibly it made goosebumps crawl your arms and for more slick to come out of your sex. he slapped your hands away and, with just one hand, gripped your neck, pinning you to the shelf (it wasn't enough to hurt or choke you).

you gulped, breathing turned into light pants as you continued to whimper. "a-alpha, i'm sorry—"

"where were you?"

"here—"

"i dare you to lie, omega," he snarled.

don't make him go feral, y/n. he might go for malleus. we don't want a war happening anytime soon.

you whined, "diasomnia.."

leona released your neck, leaving you seconds width to breathe. though, with a step forward, with your sentence abruptly cut off again, you were swung on his broad shoulder and dragged back to savanaclaw.

"wait wait, please i'll behave!" you begged, embarrassed as you watched students stare at you. cheeks feeling hot while you can feel your slick dripping down your thighs. your are engulfed by his scent. you wanted to drool, to bite, to just submit.

"silence." he ordered.

your lips immediately shut.

by the time you arrived to his bedroom, you were thrown on his bed, leaving you no room to escape.

"legs open, omega."

and you willingly obeyed.

To Be Alone | Tommy Shelby x OC | Chapter 7

[ PREVIOUS CHAPTER ] [ MASTERLIST ]

Pairing: Tommy Shelby x OC

Summary: A tense meeting has Celia in her thoughts about Tommy. Then, while preparing for her date with William, Celia receives a warning. And later, her and her mother share a moment that is too soon broken up by her father’s usual antics.

Warnings: smoking, language, brief descriptions of familial arguing

Word Count: 2899

A/N: this is a bit of a set-up chapter for the bigger things that are happening soon. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless! :)

Celia didn't see Tommy for a straight week after that night at the Garrison. Although she was happy seeing Arthur and John again when they came to pick up their suits at the tailor’s, she'd be lying if she said that her ears didn't perk up each time the door's bells rang in hopes that he’d entered the shop.

Today, she had been entrusted with a special task. Edith had given her a garment bag and an address, which she realized belonged to Ms. Polly Gray when she glanced down to see where she'd be going. Edith also told her that it was important that she get this piece today, as she needed it for an event she would be attending that very night. So Celia set out, traversing the streets of Birmingham until she got to Watery Lane.

After glancing down at the card in her hand and back up at the number beside the wooden door several times, she fisted her hand and knocked on it. Only seconds passed before the door opened and Arthur stood behind it. "Celia! To what do I owe the honor of seeing you today?" he was as chipper as ever, a smile on his face. Celia smiled just looking at him.

"Hi, Arthur, is um..." was all she was able to get out before he interrupted her.

"You're probably looking for Tommy, right? Oi, Tom! Celia's here!" he stated, screaming for his brother before Celia could say otherwise. Her heart started to beat faster as footsteps were then heard, and she subconsciously clung tighter to the garment bag in her arms as Tommy Shelby appeared from the stairway. It all happened so fast, she didn't have time to prepare. The sight of him dressed down for a change made her mind swirl. In only his dark trousers that were being held up with a pair of suspenders and a white undershirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, he didn't look like the commanding gangster that could have his way with anything he so pleased. He looked...human. Like some normal man whom Celia had stumbled upon when he wasn't thinking she would. "I'll leave you two to it," Arthur grinned then, probably sensing the air between them as his cue to get out of the room.

Celia was pulled back from her thoughts when she realized that she would need to make conversation with him because she was currently standing in his doorway. "I have something for your Aunt Polly," she mustered out, still inwardly gawking at the sight of him. He had his hand gripped onto the door now, the piece of wood holding his weight as he stood a few feet from her.

"Polly doesn't live here," he responded simply, his eyes trailing over her before they fell to the garment bag. She felt shy under his stare. Like she had done something wrong. Had she?

"Oh? Well she gave me this address on the card that was left at the shop," Celia stated, holding out the card with the exact address they were currently at printed on it. Tommy squinted his eyes to look at it before nodding his head.

"Fair enough. I guess she'll be over later to pick it up," he said as he took it from her arms and set it on the table in the house. Then he came back over to her with a few banknotes in between his fingers.

"Oh no, I can't," Celia tried to deny the money he was giving her, but he was insistent.

"Please, take it. For coming over here," he pushed her and she listened, taking the money and putting it into her purse. It got quiet between the two, Tommy standing with his hands in his pockets and Celia standing with hers clasped in front of her. "Do you want to come in?" he asked then, looking at her once more.

"I shouldn't. I need to be getting back to the shop," Celia turned his offer down, jerking her thumb in the direction opposite of the home.

"Fine," Tommy replied, and instead of shutting the door between them, he stepped forward and shut the door as he stepped out of the house. He now stood about a foot away from her, his back leaned up against the door after it had been closed behind him.

"What are you...?" she trailed off as he grabbed the pack of cigarettes that he seemed to have on him at all times out of his pocket, placing one between his lips before he struck a match and lit it.

"Needed to smoke," he responded to her half-asked question, blowing out the smoke before placing the cigarette right back in between his lips.

Then it was quiet again. Until Celia decided that she needed to clear the air between them, "I'm sorry for what happened at the Garrison that night," she said, desperately trying to look anywhere besides Tommy. It had been a moment that she’d been trying to get out of her head ever since it happened, but she just couldn’t seem to be able to.

"You shouldn't be sorry, love. It was me who came onto you," Tommy shook his head, letting more smoke out as he spoke.

"Yeah, I know, but...but I just left so abruptly. I didn't give you a chance to explain yourself," she continued to make it make sense in her head. To make it so she was the one at fault.

"I had already explained myself before you left. I had nothing more to say," he stated so simply, so nonchalantly that she didn't know what to say. "Did you think about the type of conversation we could have had before you acted upon coming over here, Celia?" he asked her then, his eyebrows raised as he intently waited for her answer. She knew he was calling back to the conversation they had a short while ago. Where she said that she wasn’t the one who sought out trouble. Maybe it was true that ‘trouble’ was actually standing a few feet from her.

"No, but in my defense, I didn't even expect to see you here, Mr. Shelby. Such thoughts were not in my mind until you stepped down those stairs," she said to them, feeling frustrated that he was speaking so coolly, like this was any other conversation. Although maybe it was to him.

"Well I'm sorry my presence fills your head with 'such thoughts’," he stated, the corners of his lips creeping upwards to form a smug smirk. Was he enjoying seeing her twist under his gaze and questioning?

"I didn’t mean to...I wasn’t referring to you when I said...I need to be going. Thank you for taking Ms. Gray's dress in for me. Do make sure she gets it before too late. I was told she needed it for today," Celia was the one to shift conversation topics after trying to form a plausible answer to his statement, her mind reeling from his cunning words.

"It was nice seeing you, Celia. I'm sorry for being absent over this past week. Business has been building up," he said then, looking at her sincerely for the first time since he stepped outside. One look into his ocean-like eyes and she had forgotten their previous conversation and how she was frustrated at him. How did he have this power over her? How was he able to dissolve any distasteful thoughts or feelings she had towards him just like that?

"I'm sure it is. Best of luck with it. Good day to you, Mr. Shelby," she nodded before stepping off of his house's stoop to make her way back to the tailoring shop, leaving Tommy standing there in the middle of Watery Lane. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Sophia questioned, staring down at Celia, who was sitting criss-cross on the floor with her hand splayed out against the coffee table. She had her eyebrows raised at her friend, who was attempting to paint her fingernails.

"Yes, I know what I'm doing. Do you see how good these look?!" Celia exclaimed proudly, holding up her hand once she was finished so that she could show her friend her work. She sighed when her friend's expression told her what she needed to know. She failed. "Ok, so maybe I don't, but I really need to paint my nails. William told me he likes this color and I thought that if I would paint them then he would take notice of me more," Celia explained the reasoning behind her attempted feat.

"Trouble in paradise, huh?" Sophia asked, kneeling on the floor next to the other woman as she poured out a bit of the alcohol they'd been casually drinking onto a piece of cloth so that she could wipe the polish off and start over.

"I guess so," Celia sighed, "he just...you know...hasn't made any advances with me," she felt slightly ashamed to admit it. What if she was the problem?

"Maybe he's being a gentleman about it, waiting until marriage and all. There some of those people left in the world," Sophia hypothesized, tilting her head slightly when Celia disagreed.

"No, not even that. He's not even kissing me or anything. And when he does, he doesn't seem like his mind's in it," she tried to explain the frustration she was having towards her relationship roadblock with William. Maybe it was her fault. Maybe she's just a terrible kisser.

"Well maybe he's just got other things on his mind. I'm sure you're not the problem, Cel," Sophia assured her as she grabbed the bottle of polish and then put some on the applicator. "Now, let's get these nails done right!" she exclaimed, making Celia smile. What would she do without her friends?

"He's taking me to the pictures tomorrow," Celia spoke after a few silent moments.

"Yeah? What are you going to see?" Sophia asked, tongue showing slightly through the part in her lips as she concentrated on painting her friend's nails.

"I think the newest Chaplin feature," she responded, making Sophia look up, her mouth in an 'o' shape as she sent Celia an excited expression.

"That sounds exciting!" she cheered, feeling happy that even though her friend was having doubts about this man, she was still willing herself to go out and spend some time with him. Who knows, maybe time would fix their problems.

"I am excited," Celia smiled to herself, peering down at the progress again, a giddy feeling inside of her when she saw the lilac colored polish being applied. William was going to like this. She just knew it.

“A friend of mine said that they saw you out at Tommy Shelby’s house,” Sophia stated then, switching the topic of conversation yet again. Celia furrowed her brows as the two women looked at each other. “What were you doing at Tommy Shelby’s house?”

“I was delivering a finished piece from the tailor shop,” Celia shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. That’s all there was to it.

“Oh so he’s getting special deliveries now?” Sophia asked, a grin on her face.

“No,” Celia shook her head, “it was for his aunt. She needed it for an event that’s happening tonight, and Edith had me run it there. She put that address on the card.”

“Tommy Shelby and his family aren’t the good kind of company to keep,” her friend said then, her words sounding more like a warning than anything. Oh if she knew the type of things that had happened between Celia and Tommy so far. This would be a whole different conversation.

“Our relationship is strictly professional,” Celia swore, although she had to admit that she felt sort of sad while saying those words, and she hated herself for it.

About an hour and half of a bottle of alcohol later, Celia was ready to head out. Although they wanted to spend more time together, Sophia needed to head into the hospital because she was on the schedule to work the night shift. So they said goodbye to each other, and Sophia made Celia promise that she would tell her all about the date she'd be going on the next day. Celia rolled her eyes, but agreed nonetheless.

Back at home, Celia was up in her bedroom. She was busy rummaging through her wardrobe, trying to find the perfect outfit for her date tomorrow. Something that would accentuate her freshly painted nails. Not letting up when she heard the door downstairs shut, she only stopped when a knock sounded on her bedroom door. "Yes?" she called out, spinning around as it opened to see her mom standing in its threshold. "Hi, Ma," she greeted her, waving her into the room. Her mother obliged with a smile, coming to sit on her bed as Celia turned back to rummaging.

"How are you doing, lovely?" her mom asked, her hands crossed over her lap as she watched her daughter who went back to looking in her wardrobe.

"I'm doing well. Looking for a dress," Celia stated, fingers flicking through the possible options.

"Any one in particular?" Eliza asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Not necessarily. Just one that would accentuate my nails," she responded, not letting up on the search.

"Your nails?" her mom questioned, her voice coming right from her side as she had stood from the bed to help join the search.

"Yeah. Sophia helped me with them today. They're done in William's favorite color," she disclosed with a smile, flashing her nails to her mother, who also smiled as she nodded in approval.

"How is William?" Elizabeth knew the man that her daughter had been seeing from him coming over alongside his sister, Vivian. He was a nice man in her eyes, but she still wanted to know how he treated her daughter.

"He's nice, mom. Really nice," Celia nodded, although it sounded much like she was trying to convince herself. She wouldn't dare tell her mother what she told Sophia though; about the kissing problems. That would be far too awkward.

"He's treating you right?" she continued with another question and Celia really wanted to laugh at the situation. Usually the father would be the one to ask questions about the men in their daughter’s lives, but that wasn't the case here. Her father, instead, had been at the bar since the beginning of the evening.

"Yes, he is. I enjoy spending time with him," she nodded once more, again hoping the words she said would convince herself as well.

"So long as he's honest with you. And that he's always gentlemanly," her mom stated, flipping through the clothing in her daughter's wardrobe. "How about this one?" she asked then, pulling a dress out that was a bit darker of a shade of purple than the color on her fingers.

"That's it! The one I was looking for!" Celia exclaimed, a wide smile on her face. She took the dress onto her arm before she pulled her mother in for a hug. "Thanks, ma," she smiled as the two women pulled away.

"You're welcome, sweetie," Eliza smiled back, their moment being interrupted by a loud knock on the door. "I'll get it," she stated, releasing her daughter before she moved out of the room and to the steps. Celia followed behind. It was now night, and she couldn't trust that a knock on the door could guarantee something positive. That, after all, was a rarity in this city.

"Are you Joe's wife?" a man with a gruff voice asked as soon as the partition had been pulled aside.

"Yes, I am. Has something happened?" Eliza asked, her eyebrows furrowed in worry. Celia's heart hurt for her at that moment. That man had drug her through so much shit, yet she still worried for him. Guess that's what love makes you do.

"No. He's just drunk and acting belligerently," the man spoke in a matter-of-fact voice, not too pleased to be involved in this conversation at the moment. "You're going to need to come down and get him."

"Oh. Ok. I'll be down as quickly as possible," Eliza nodded and the man left without any further words.

"I'll come with you, mom," Celia was speaking before the door was closed.

"No, sweetheart. He's not your problem. I'm going to go get him," Eliza responded, her voice not giving Celia much room to argue.

"Ok. Just be safe, mom," Celia told her as she watched her mom grab her coat and purse.

"I will. I love you, Celia," she smiled, waiting only until she heard her daughter repeat the sentiment before she left the house.

Celia went back upstairs and got ready for bed. She had only just started reading her book when she heard the door open downstairs. She knew the kind of night it would be just by how the door was shut. So she set her book down on the bedside table and turned off the light before sinking underneath the covers of her bed. The fabric of the blankets didn't offer any help in blocking out her father's yelling, so she pulled the pillow over her head and pressed it down. The argument occurring became muffled and she was able to slowly descend into sleep.
