hi caro!!! I wish you would write a fic where...FORCE GHOST REUNION! anyone! everyone! happy! angsty! pick your own poison, my friend! just...dead people hanging out.
(this feels like a fic exchange request ahahah)
hello it has in fact been an hour and I did in fact just realise that was supposed to be anonymous. OOPS. 🤪
asdfsdfasdfs you got it abi, and we’ve all been there!!! thanks for the prompt!! 
When the Force took Ahsoka, it was not in the abrupt, cold way that she thought it would be. She was not taken away in a gasp or in a sigh or in a gust of wind. She was taken away on…a ship.
She didn’t know why or how—just that when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer surrounded by the new younglings or by those other children, even though she knew they weren’t really children. They were older than Ahsoka had been when she joined the fight, older and hopefully a little wiser, even with Ahsoka gone—she knew they would be fine with her gone.
And she was gone, she knew that for sure, even though she was standing in the middle of what looked like a ship. She brought her hand to the wall, watched her hands pass through in a shimmer of light as the ship sped along, through the blanket of darkness that she knew wasn’t the sky or space.
When Ahsoka opened her eyes again, the ship doors were already opening, a ramp lowering. She knew this wasn’t really a ship, and she knew the doors in front of her weren’t really doors, and she knew the ramp below her wasn’t really a ramp, but it didn’t matter: they were there especially for her, just for her, and for a moment, she just marveled at how some things changed, but some things just had to stay the same.
When the doors fully opened, Ahsoka found two people already waiting for her.
Anakin and Obi-Wan stood at the bottom of the ramp, their own ghostly forms shimmering and winking in the starlight around them. They smiled.
Ahsoka smiled too, and she walked down the ramp.
Anakin and Obi-Wan grew clearer with each step—the shimmering and the winking fading, replaced by something solid, something so much more solid than they had ever been whenever they managed to talk when Ahsoka was left behind.
Ahsoka felt more solid too—with each step towards them, she could feel herself taking form, the Force weaving in and around her as it welcomed its daughter home. Solidified her, warmed her, and Ahsoka let her steps quicken into a jog, then into a spring down the ramp, then a sprint towards the men before her, and—
When Ahsoka reached Anakin and Obi-Wan, their arms were already waiting for her. She flung her arms around the two of them, heard and felt their laughter around her as warm arms wrapped around her back.
“Welcome home, Snips,” Anakin said thickly.
Ahsoka smiled into Anakin’s shoulder, turned briefly to Obi-Wan. He smiled back at her, mouthed, Welcome home.
Heat welled behind Ahsoka’s eyes, and she managed to disentangle herself for just a moment. Rubbing at her eyes, Ahsoka smiled.  “I hope you guys didn’t wait too long,” she said. “You wouldn’t believe the traffic.”
“Should have let me fly,” Anakin said, and he was smiling too, eyes reflecting the light around them.
“You would have just crashed,” Obi-Wan said.
At that, the three laughed—laughed and laughed, and that laughter floated out to the stars, and the stars carried that laughter to those left behind: their family was reunited at last.

Face up - Chapter 2
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Epilogue
Finally!!!
I wanted to finish the fic following the rest of the song from Chapter 1: ‘Face up’ by Lights (Lyrics in bold), which would have been easy and quite short, but then I had a little drama / misunderstanding idea and when I asked @ladyfreya123 she said me to go for it soooo... this turned out to be way longer than expected ^^; There’s also going to be an extra short epilogue.
Thank you @livrever​ for checking this for me!
AO3
_____________________________
Chapter 2
The next day Marinette did something totally out of her character: sneak out of her apartment, neglect her work, and go to the ‘Liberty’, that bar ship she went to the previous evening with her friends. She hoped to see the blue haired guitarist that picked more than her attention again. She got on the ship and moved to the bar counter, where the purple-haired waitress from the day before was arranging some bottles.
"Hi… May I ask you something?" Marinette asked, earning an affirmative nod from the tall woman. "When is Luka performing again…?"
"Sorry, nothing until next Friday" the goth waitress answered.
"Oh… Is there- Is there a way to contact him…?" she blushed.
The tall young woman let a tired sigh as if thinking 'not again' before giving her an answer. "Sorry Miss, but we don't offer this kind of service. We like to keep our staff's privacy"
"I- of course… I understand. I'll come again next Friday…" the blue eyed lady apologized, with a depressing look returning her face- a look the waitress recognized.
"Wait, you're the girl from yesterday aren't you? The one who had been feeling down"
"Ah, yes… That's right… I'm the one" Marinette awkwardly admitted.
"Hmm…" The tall woman analyzed her for a few seconds, her fingers touching her chin. "I see” she raised her eyebrow with a faint smirk. “Luka had never done anything like that before. I think you piqued his interest"
"Eh? His interest…? Re- really...? How?" She opened her eyes in surprise, her cheeks getting warmer.
"I don't know" the waitress shrugged. "Look. Luka is not here, but I'll give you something special if you buy a drink" she signaled the grey haired middle aged woman to take her place. "Wait a minute, I'll be right back"
"Ok…"
"Hi. What will it be?" The bar owner asked.
"Oh… One mango soft drink, please"
"WHAT!? A real pirate doesn't drink that! Have some rum!" The woman almost scolded her, violently pouring the drink in a glass that pushed towards the perplexed young lady.
Marinette nervously gulped as she looked speechless at the drink. Noticing how the owner's gaze was urging her to take it, Marinette felt intimidated under her stare. Luckily, the blond-haired waitress called her and she could recover her breath.
"Captain! Official Roger is asking for you"
"Argh!! Not again!" the grey-haired woman groaned.. "What's his problem now? My music is too low if I follow his 'law'. So annoying… Rose, I leave you this customer to you"
"Yes, Captain" she answered, focusing on Marinette and shoving the rum glass aside. "Hi, excuse the owner. What would you like?"
"Anything sweet, please" she sighed, grateful and relieved with a faint smile on her face.
____________________________
A few minutes later, the goth waitress returned. "Sorry for the wait" she said, her eyes attracted by the rainbow colored drink on Marinette’s long glass. "Rose, don't tell me you gave her your crazy original cocktail?" She sighed.
"Yes, Juleka! She loves it!" Rose grinned happily.
"Really…?" Her eyebrow arched in doubt. "I bet she's only faking it to not hurt your feelings… Anyway, here" She offered a DVD case to Marinette. "I don't usually do this, but we record all our performances and I'm making an exception and letting you have a copy of yesterday's live"
"Can I really have it!?" The designer's eyes glowed in hope.
"Only if you erase this terrible depressed expression from your face" she flicked Marinette's forehead with her finger. "Luka hates unhappy faces"
"Ouch!” she complained, touching his forehead before her grin became wider one second later. “Thank you so much! It means a lot to me!" She jumped, hugging the DVD case while the waitresses exchanged smiles. "See you next Friday! Oh, how much is the drink?"
"Nothing. I could never let you pay for Rose's disgusting original cocktail" Juleka teased.
"Hey! It tastes good!" Rose pouted.
"It tastes like strawberry syrup but with triple the amount of sugar." Juleka rolled her eyes.
"That's not true!" Rose complained. "Tell her, Marinette!"
"Yes, I like it. It's good"
Rose was now showing a proud smile while Juleka shrugged in defeat, one of her hands patting the blonde's shoulder.
"Rose, you're lucky a pure soul is willing to drink that sugary cocktail." Rose giggled at the tall woman's comment. "Feel free to come anytime. Uhm… Marinette, was it?"
"Ah, yes. Thank you so much. For the drink. And for the DVD. And for having me. See you soon!" She giggled while waving goodbye.
"Oh.. wanted her to taste my sparkling unicorn special drink too…" Rose pouted in a low voice.
"Oh Rose, it's ok. I'll take your sweetness later for you instead, how is that?" Juleka spoke close to her ear with a smirk.
"Yes!"
'I think I wasn’t supposed to hear that' Marinette thought, rushing out the bar with flustered cheeks and hugging the DVD.
_________________________________
It was just Wednesday and she was at the bar again. 'Why do I keep coming every single day? I know he only comes on Fridays…'
Marinette felt lonely. After awakening feelings of love again, she noticed how lonely she actually was. When did her loneliness start? Was it something that comes together with growing older? She didn't even realize how single and solitary she was before Luka's performance. She seemed fine on her own, she mostly was... but last Friday proved her wrong.
It had been hours alone at the bar, ignoring her work and phone calls and, as expected, the guitarist was nowhere to be found. The bar was not as crowded as last Friday. In fact, it wasn’t to the point that it couldn't even compare- she almost felt bad for the blond guy performing. When the clock on the wooden wall turned to 11:30 PM, she sighed in defeat. She took her wallet out of her purse to pay for her 'sparkling unicorn drink' and her mango soft drink and got ready to go home, expecting to have better luck tomorrow. She raised her hand slightly to call the waitress.
"Excuse m-"
"Hey. Didn't I mention no sad faces were allowed here?"
A familiar voice cut her from the side, close to her ear. It startled her, making her gasp, but her pupils lit up as she turned and her gaze met the blue eyes she had been eager to see for days. She couldn't help to blush at his closeness, unable to control her wide but shy smile. He smiled back at her and her reaction.
"That's better" he winked, resting his arm at the bar counter. "So you've come back, huh? Did you enjoy your time here last Friday? Are you feeling better?" Luka attentively asked.
He kept smiling at her, melting the young woman's insides. She flustered in realization. "You remember me?"
"Of course. Not many people come here looking as terrible as you did. You seem better now. I'm glad"
"Oh- Uhm- Thank you…" she lowered her head to hide her blush under her bangs.
"What brings you here? Today's performances are Electro-pop, but you don't look like you're interested in those?" He curiously asked.
Marinette looked back at the stage. "I guess you're right… I've never really liked XY…" she confessed and Luka snorted.
"Wanna know a secret? Me neither. We just keep him because his father pays us"
"We? Us?" she blinked twice.
"Ah, crap." He noticed his mistake. “I mean the owner- Anarka" he answered.
"Oh…"
"Lu, it’s fine. You can tell her" Juleka approached, and Rose nodded in agreement. Luka seemed uncertain, but that didn't stop Juleka. "You see? Luka is my older brother and the bar owner is our mother.  We all live together here, except for Luka when he's out studying abroad"
"Jules…" Luka glared at his sister. "You can't give customers private information about us, you know that. Mom is going to kill us if she finds out…"
"She's not a customer, she's our friend. We can tell a friend. Especially when she's-" Juleka's words were cut by Marinette in panic, scared she would let him know about her feelings for him.
"Aaahh! It's ok! Thank you for telling me, Juleka. I'm not going to tell anyone! Not even my best friend!" she promised. The women were smiling while Luka let a deep sigh out.
"Anyway, may I join you?" Luka asked Marinette, titling his head to get a better angle of her face.
"Her name is Marinette," Rose interrupted and winked at him.
"I think he already knows by now, Rose. Especially after-"
"Shh…" Luka signaled, his index finger in front of his lips in a warning. "Don't continue Jules, or I may spill the beans about you know what…"
"My bad" Juleka apologized under Rose's confused expression and Luka's knowing look.
"So… Marinette? Fancy a drink with me?" The young man returned his attention to her, making her blush as he pronounced her name in his voice. Marinette stared at him in awe. She short-circuited. "Marinette?"
"Ah- yes! I mean- Really? Is it really ok...?" She blushed.
Luka looked back at the designer after shushing his sister and her girlfriend, who giggled at the scene. "Yes, it's fine. I want to have some drinks too and I'm sure it's going to taste better with company"
"Oh… ok… Let me remove my jacket from this seat..." She offered.
"No, not here" Luka stopped her movement by placing his hand on her jacket and getting closer to whisper close to her ear. "We're starting to get looks on us. Go outside, turn left and go upstairs. It says staff only, but you have my permission to go. Wait for me there. I'll come in a second". He moved farther and lifted her jacket. "Don't forget to put on your jacket. It's cold outside"
"Oh- Ok…" Marinette blushed while rushing out to follow his directions. She tripped on her feet when walking up the stairs, still flustered by the unexpected invitation.
After Marinette left, Luka waited for Rose and Juleka to prepare some drinks, and kept unavoidably smiling while seeing Marinette turning left once out the door. The ladies smirked at his rare expression.
"Lu. We like her. Don't mess up, ok?" Juleka stated and Rose nodded effusively. Luka rolled his eyes with a subtle blush on his cheeks until he eyed the glasses Rose had just handed him.
"Are you really planning to make Marinette drink that?" He looked at Rose's original cocktail raising an eyebrow in disgust.
"Why does everyone complain about it? It's delicious! Marinette thinks so too!" Rose pouted.
"Think about it, Rose. Luka isn't much into sweet drinks. How can he kiss the girl if you make her drink that?" Juleka teased.
"Oh… Oh, no! You're right! Let me prepare something else!" Rose excitedly exclaimed and Juleka smirked triumphantly at Luka, who rolled his eyes in response.
"First she would have to want to get kissed, you know…? And what makes you think I-" he could foresee Juleka's counterattack before it happened, so he surrendered beforehand. "Nevermind"
"Oh, she would be more than happy to kiss you, I know that much" Rose grinned, handing him the new drink while sharing a knowing smile with Juleka.
"Whatever" the musician sighed, grabbing the glasses and a pair of bottles of his favorite liquor and moving upstairs. Juleka knew her brother well enough to know he had a smile on his face even if she could only see his back.
___________________
The upper part of the boat was nicer than Marinette had expected. The decorations there were fancier than downstairs and despite it kept the pirate theme, colorful flowers surrounded the space, like a little garden in the middle of the river. It was chilly since it was late September, but the breeze felt nice on Marinette's flustered face (perfect to help her cool down).
Marinette moved to the river side to enjoy the view of Paris at night time. The city was shining bright, beautifully, she has seen it multiple times from her apartment. And despite that, the view from the ship felt more special and even prettier and magical, she couldn't seem to find light inside of her. Her monotonous life was draining her, and her lack of inspiration didn't help her either.
Why…?
She shouldn't be thinking about that. Luka had invited her! And that was clearly the first spark she felt in a long time. She should be happy! Why was it always negative thoughts that stand out the most? She knew it was wrong, but her negativity kept spiraling... She had given Luka a bad first impression and he had probably invited her just because she looked pitiful. Why would he be interested in a workaholic and depressing woman like her, anyway? Someone plain and boring, more like a heartless robot than alive most of the time. It was impossible, wasn't it? Plus, he was going to find popularity and fame soon and he may have so many beautiful fans around him, definitely a better audience than her.
She sighed again. She knew she was being crazy- acting like one of those fangirls from the previous week. Because, in the end, she knew almost nothing about him. 'I'm not special. I'm not amazing as he is'. But she still wished, hoped, for this new found love to not end like her previous one. She wished to feel alive again, like last Friday night when he was on that stage and his eyes met hers.
And her crush on him was making her feel alive again, which was exactly what she wanted. But she was afraid everything could end in a blink before it even started. And with those thoughts in mind, some tears started forming in her eyes. What if he rejected her? It was crazy to think he would accept her feelings just like that. They had just met. Geez- it was the first time they even talked! What was she even expecting? He was out of her league, she convinced herself, and the thought alone made her feel lonely again. Back to her lifeless life.
"Sorry for the wait." Luka arrived, and when her face turned to him, he noticed her tears. "Hey, what's wrong? No crying allowed here, remember?" He emphatically said, placing the drinks on the table and approaching her.
"Sorry... I don't know what's gotten into me..." she tried to stop her sobbing, with no results.
"Easy. Shhhh... A beautiful face like yours shouldn't get tainted with anything, especially not tears" he said, offering her a handkerchief she hesitantly accepted. "Listen"
Luka took a few steps away to get some space as he took his acoustic guitar from his back and started playing a familiar song. When her eyes locked on his, he started singing the lyrics she had listened to hundreds of times on the DVD Juleka gave her.
The times you don't wanna wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
"Sing with me, Marinette"
"Luka…" she whimpered.
"C'mon!" He encouraged her, and she started singing with him. At first, she just babbled the chorus between sobs, but after a few repeats, her voice started making sense as she sang in unmatching rhythms. His music dragged her face to smile faintly.
Alive again.
"There you go," Luka smiled tenderly, making her blush. "Your bad times are just a phase. This bad stage is going to end. Take it easy and be yourself. You are good enough"
"Am I really, though…?" She furrowed her eyebrows.
"I have no doubts" he assured her with a bright smile that made Marinette's heart throb. But doubt and fear still remained.
"How can you say that? You don't know me. Or my life. Or my feelings! How can you say that so lightly?" She gasped at her own words,  immediately regretting them. Why was she even getting angry? She was making Luka pay for her frustration and that was horrible. Before she could apologize, he interrupted her.
"Because you're sincere, Marinette. Your heart, your eyes, your gestures, your voice, your whole aura- they all tell me about you." He stared at her eyes. "Not only verbal language can communicate. I myself work better with music rather than words. And with those pieces of information together, I can tell you're going through a bad phase, lost motivation, maybe you're not even sure about where you want to go or your purpose in life, but that's normal. As the song says, everyone goes through that at some point. I did have one myself too"
"You… You did?" She asked, incredulous.
"Is it that surprising? You can ask Juleka, if you don't believe me. I'm not perfect- nobody is." He shrugged with a sympathetic smile. "But that's not the point. I can see your potential whenever I look at you. The Marinette from last Friday shone brighter than a diamond to me. I've known you were special from the first time my eyes landed on you, and, the more I see you, the more convinced I am. You're extraordinary, Marinette, and your heart song is the most beautiful I've ever heard." The young woman couldn't help but blush and show a hopeful wide smile at Luka's words. "Now, that's a beautiful smile! There's no way anyone can deny you anything to that" He smiled while staring at her eyes.
"Even you?" She involuntarily asked, and his eyes opened wide. "Ah-" her hands rushed to cover her mouth.
"I would be the first to fall for it" he laughed, but kept the second part to himself: 'if I already hadn't'
Marinette blushed even harder. Luka was even more impressive than she thought. Wasn't it too good to be real? Too incredible. Especially for someone like her.
This wasn't a crush, she realized. The spark in her heart was something more- the warmth she felt and the butterflies in her stomach… all of it made it obvious.
It was LOVE.
Was it even possible? So fast, so easily.
"It pains me to see how you don't believe in yourself and your potential," Luka continued. "Besides, Juleka and Rose like you, and let me tell you, that's already a big accomplishment."
Marinette's smile became even brighter but shy. "I like them too. Do you think they'll want to become my friends?"
"You heard them downstairs. I'm quite sure they already consider you that. Just how much time have you spent here since last Friday?" He teased, and Marinette flustered red, mumbling something incomprehensible that made Luka smile even wider before returning to the topic. "Anyway, don't put fences or walls to yourself. Life itself will already do that, there's no need for you to add more unnecessary difficulties. Try to give more credit to your positive features instead of blaming yourself for the negative ones. Flow with it"
"What if I can't? Or what if it's not a fence, but an unbreakable wall?" She asked, thinking of her neverending work routine and Audrey Bourgeois.
"Nothing is unbreakable, Marinette. You just need to believe you can do it. And if you can't go straight through it, then you can go around it, or even jump over it. Maybe get help too. There is nothing wrong in getting support when you need it. Definitely nothing to be ashamed of" Luka strummed the strings of his acoustic guitar lightly, in an unknown melody that spoke to her heart. She could relate those new tunes more than to any song she had ever heard. She closed her eyes to enjoy the notes that ran from her ears to her heart. Luka looked at her smile, pleased. "That's my favorite part of playing music, you know? Help people feel better and put smiles on their faces. And it's specially rewarding when is someone as beautiful and pure as you"
Marinette stared astonished at his fond expression. His smile was so perfect she wondered if it was even real.
"Marinette?" He called. "Let's enjoy this moment, this view, the breeze. Forget about all bad things for now. Take it easy and relax. Have a drink with me?" he suggested,  pointing at the glasses on the table with a welcoming smile.
Marinette’s eyes glowed in awe. She had thought she would be fine with just a little bit of Luka, even if it was only during his performances. But now? She wanted it ALL. She wanted to feel as alive as she felt whenever he was close. She wanted her love- this electric feeling to be mutual and last forever.
With those feelings in mind, her face rose up to meet his blue eyes with conviction.
"Thank you, Luka. I won't be looking down anymore," she proclaimed, and took the glass Luka offered her. Once in her hand, Luka lifted his tall glass, encouraging her to cheer with him.
"Face up?" he smiled, satisfied as she confidently bumped her glass to his. "Face up" she replied, and drank the alcohol while staring at his eyes and returning him a shy smile under his gaze.
With their empty glasses on the table, and without even noticing, naturally, they started leaning towards each other, lost in the deepness of their eyes. Their faces were barely a few centimeters apart, his fingertips brushed her skin and her hands moved to his chest. Their lips were almost touching when two voices interrupted them.
"OMG!! Isn't that Luka!?" "OMG, yes he is!!" "LUKA!!" KYAAAH" Two fangirls called from the nearest bridge.
Marinette jumped and backed away, nervously, and Luka turned around to awkwardly wave at them from afar after giving Marinette an apologetic look.
"Lukaaa!! Let's go have some fun?" "Yeah, like old times!" "Yeah, come have fun with us"
Luka turned to Marinette in alarm, and her mouth twisted.
"Sorry, girls! I'm not interested. Go have fun on your own" he told them off, somewhat angry, and they protested.
"Shh… He's already with someone!" One of the girls said to the other. "Hey! Didn't you say you didn't do that anymore? Liar!" "Oh, c'mon! She looks boring! Come with us instead, you'll have more fun!"
Marinette's expression turned into a mix of betrayal, sadness, anger and embarrassment.
She felt like the spell he had casted on her just faded away and Luka's heart ached in guilt and frustration.
"Shut up! I told you I’m not interested! Stop insisting! Don't you know what NO means!?" Luka finally yelled, losing his usual cool. But the fangirls continued.
"Oh, we may be scaring the lady! Poor thing, thinking she can have Luka all by herself..." "Have fun with your boring catch. How disappointing…" "What a shame…" "It's his loss, girl! Let's go" "Yeah, whatever" the pair of fangirls finally walked away.
Luka exhaled deeply and nervously turned to Marinette. "Sorry, Marinette. It's not what you think. Fangirls can get very annoying..."
Marinette's eyebrow arched, both demanding and hurt. "Not what I think? You owe me no explanation..." she was more hurt than she was willing to admit, and her face was at the lowest yet.
'It was my fault for having expectations… of course it was too beautiful to be real… Why did she even think she could be special to someone like him? To have him all by herself? She didn't know him! She thought he was amazing and sweet and caring… but her first impression has been proven wrong- absolutely wrong' she thought.
"Marinette! You're misunderstanding! I don't date fans, that's my policy!"
"So you just play around with them? Is this why you invited me? Am I your toy for tonight?"
She wanted to cry. She had fallen in love with an illusion. Of course someone that perfect couldn't exist. What was she thinking? She should have learned her lesson with Adrien, but this time was even worse. It hurt. A lot. More than a heartbreak ever hurt her. Because, this time, it also took hope away with her.
"No! Of course not-! You're getting it all wrong! That's all in the past! I was young and stupid- and... I don't do that anymore." He sounded so desperate Marinette almost believed him. "I wouldn't have invited you if I didn't genuinely mean it. Believe me, please" He pleaded, but she directed a glacial glare at him.
"Right… so that's what you say to all your fangirls, huh? No wonder they all fall for you. But I guess I have nothing else to do here: I know your policy now. I won't make you break it. Goodbye"
'How stupid of me to have hope something magical or exciting could happen to me. All that time invested for nothing. Not only out of his league, but also a playboy who had taken advantage of her weak state to seduce her with pretty words and music. How pitiful she was!
She wouldn't have minded to be his even if it was only for a night until moments ago. But now, she had decided she wanted it all- mutual love. And it was obvious he didn't feel the same.
Before leaving, her eyes darted to the empty glasses of alcohol. She grabbed one of the bottles Luka brought with him and refilled her glass violently. Luka was too late to react, before she drank it in one shot.
"Marinette, wait-"
Too late. The alcohol was already making her feel dizzy. That wasn't the soft drinks she used to drink, neither water: it reeked of alcohol. Logical, since it was something strong Rose prepared for Luka, not for Marinette. And her tolerance was incredibly low (which is why she always went with soft drinks in the first place). Luka rushed to catch the young woman when she slowly fainted.
"Marinette? Hey! Wake up. Open your eyes. C'mon! Don't do this to me" he lightly shook her small body. "Come back, please. You've got it wrong" he insisted, but Marinette left a light snore that made him calm down in relief. "Why are words so complicated…?" He sighed in worry.
After confirming she was deep asleep and nothing made it seem like she would wake up anytime soon, Luka carried Marinette in a princess style downstairs in concern.
"Marinette!" Rose gasped and rushed to her friend in Luka's arms.
"What have you done, dumbass? Is she ok?" Juleka slightly hit his arm, before checking on Marientte.
"Yes… Yes. She's just sleeping. The alcohol was too much…” He lamented. “Do you know where she lives? Or any relative or friend?"
The waitresses shook their heads in negation, and exchanged a worried look. "Lu… What happened up there?"
"I guess I'm still not good with words…" he shrugged, after a long silence, letting the Marinette's body rest on his bed. Juleka and Rose exchanged a worried look watching Marinette sleeping in distress, mumbling Luka's name in her dreams.
________________________________
The next morning, Marinette woke up in an unknown room. 'Where? What? How? Why? When…?'
Music coming from the next room startled her. 'That song…?' It was a song she had never heard before, yet it felt familiar for some reason. 'Who is playing it?' stepping out of the room, she realized where she was: the Liberty.
She jolted in realization and she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked horrible, but her clothes were still the same. She sighed in relief. 'What happened?' before she could think more, her eyes met Luka's in one of the couches.
"Good morning. How are you feeling?" He asked her with a soft and apologetic smile.
"I- ugh… my head… what happened?"
"You don't remember?" He asked and she shook her head. "You passed out," he explained, signaling for her to take a seat. She complied. "You seriously startled me, Marinette. It was so sudden... And since you didn't seem to wake up, I let you sleep on my bed"
"Oh- sorry… and thank you…" she muttered, looking down, embarrassed.
"Hey. No more looking down, remember? Face up" He raised his own face in encouragement.
"Face up" she repeated, following his lead with a shy smile.
“You know? About yesterday… I want to-” Luka started, breaking the silence, but Juleka interrupted them.
"Lu, the label called you. You better say yes this time or-" Juleka noticed her friend. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were still here, Marinette. How are you feeling?"
"Better, thank you," Marinette answered. 'Label?' She wondered.
"Jules. Marinette's got a headache. Could you give her some medicine while I'm on the phone, please?" Luka asked Juleka and she smiled tenderly, aiding her friend to the counter.
"Here" Juleka offered her an aspirin and a glass of water, and Marinette accepted. Juleka noticed how Marinette kept staring at Luka's direction with curiosity.
"Luka had an appointment 10 minutes ago. Jagged Stone's label wants him to sign a contract with them" Juleka explained, proudly. "He has been turning them down for weeks, but this time he seemed to have decided to sign. That's why he came back one day earlier than usual, actually. Isn't my dumbass brother amazing?"
A contract… with Jagged Stone's label? Luka was going to sign it? Marinette remembered Nino's words: 'he's gonna be big in no time'. She had agreed with that affirmation… She just didn't expect it so early. So sudden. Where would their chances be if he became famous…? With all his fangirls- wait- what was that about fangirls?
She remembered.
"Fangirls" Marinette mumbled to a confused Juleka. "Why did you lie to me, Juleka? You said I was special, but Luka just thinks of me as a fan! And he doesn't date fans! Were you making fun of me?"
"What? Of course, no! Where did you get those ideas from?"
"Those fangirls from yesterday said it, and Luka confirmed"
"That dumbass…" Juleka's tongue clicked and Marinette started to cry. "Hold on, Marinette. You're misunderstanding everything. It's true Luka had a 'rebellious stage', but that's part of the past now, he's different now. If he invited you it's because he is really interested in you. I promise. He ditched the meeting with the music label so he was there when you woke up and he even-"
"How can I know you're not lying?" Marinette demanded in a yell and Juleka looked at her in shock.
"We hate lies, Marinette. We may be chaotic and a bit crazy, but we're always honest. Luka too." Juleka explained, hurt by her friend's distrust.
At that moment, Luka returned. "Sorry- I have to go now. Will you be- Marinette?" Luka cut them, and the fashion designer showed him an enraged expression and took her things and rushed out.
"Marinette, wait!" Both siblings called, but she didn’t stop. Luka ran and somehow caught her by the wrist and Marinette was finally letting go of the tears she had been holding. "Marinette…!"
"Let me go, Luka!”
"You remember the misunderstanding," Luka realized. "Let me explain, please," he begged.
"No! I don't want to hear it. Do you want to make me look even more pathetic? I'm sick of it! I'm sick of my own stupidity. Falling in love with you was a mistake!"
"Love...?" His jaw fell, leaving him puzzled with his mouth open.
"You have fun with your fangirls, you don't date fans as per your policy and you'll soon be famous internationally and forget I exist! Coming here every day was a waste of time. Goodbye, Luka. Good luck with your life" she freed herself from his weakened grip and started running away.
Luka's feet were glued to the floor in shock. Did she really say love?
"What are you doing!? Go after her, stupid!" Juleka shouted and Luka snapped out.
"Shit!" Luka ran, "Marinette!" but she was nowhere to be found. "No… Dammit!" He cursed.
When he returned to the Liberty, Juleka and Rose scolded him. "You better pray for her to be here tomorrow evening for your performance. But now go and sign that contract before they give up on you.  Hurry up!" Luka nodded, took his guitar with him and started walking, deep lost in his thoughts.
____________________________
As soon as Marinette arrived at her apartment, she let herself fall on the bed and started crying uncontrollably. She received some phone calls and messages, but she didn't feel strong enough to check. She was supposed to be working at Audrey's at that hour- of course she would call. Her boss was going to kill her. But she didn't care. Instead, she played again the live performance of the previous Friday, when she felt more alive than ever. Music to accompany and silence her tears- tears of heartbreak and betrayal.
Once again, she let her negativity win. Again… And without listening to his excuses.
She felt at her lowest yet.
____________________________
And just with that, in a blink of an eye, Friday arrived.
Marinette coped with heartbreak with stress working- she had a lot to catch up after the time she had spent in the Liberty the past days, and she worked better under stress, anyway. At 6 PM a message from Alya arrived on her phone.
'Girl, we're going with Nino to Liberty again. Wanna come? Your hot guitarist will be playing tonight! We'll be waiting for you there!'
She ignored the message.
________________
Just before 11PM, the Liberty was absolutely crowded. The last performance had ended, and people could already feel the rush in anticipation for Luka's performance. But the musician wasn't feeling it as he usually did. He had been rewatching past Friday's performance in loop, focusing on Marinette exclusively. He felt terrible. An unfortunate misunderstanding due to the past he was ashamed of, had come to chase him at the worst possible moment- the moment he had finally found the person with the heart song he had always wished for.
It was past the time for Luka's performance, so Juleka knocked and entered his cabin to call for him. "It's time"
"Marinette…?" He asked and she shook her head in negation, biting her lip. He sighed deeply.
Once at the stage, he looked at the empty chair he had reserved for Marinette in the first row, and then he looked around to confirm she wasn't there, indeed. He was sad, more than he had been in a while, but the Liberty was a place to be happy and he was a professional, so he had to give it his all, like always. Only those who really knew him (or really devoted fans like Nino) would be able to notice something was wrong with him.
"Good evening, everyone! Thank you for coming. Ready for some rock & roll?"
"Yeah!!" "Woohoo!"
_____________________
Marinette checked the clock on the wall of her apartment: 11:58 PM. Despite her efforts, she couldn't take Luka and the Liberty out of her mind.
Luka's performance would be ending right now, she thought, moving forward the DVD recording to the moment he thanked the audience and fans had asked for an encore. At that moment, he had asked her and only her, if she wanted one too, and she raised her voice like she never had before. It felt great, she remembered. ALIVE. The video ended when Luka left the stage, mentioning a new song. Did he play it tonight? She wondered, but she had no way to know, because she hadn't been there and his performance had already ended...
The clock pointed past midnight when she buried her face in the pillow, tears finding their way out.
________________________
At the same time, at the bar, Alya and Nino were talking at the counter.
"Woah Alya! It was amazing! Too bad Marinette didn't come. I thought she enjoyed last week?"
"I know… She's been stress-working since yesterday, it seems. Something must have happened, but she's keeping it for herself. I wish I could help her more… She should be enjoying her youth! Falling in love and-"
Suddenly, fangirl squealing started and Alya and Nino felt a hand on their shoulders that startled them. Neither expected to find Luka when they turned.
"You two- You're Marinette's friends, aren't you? From last week-" He asked and they nodded when their voice refused to come out, shocked and processing what was happening. "I need a favor, please." Luka asked.
Alya and Nino exchanged a look and followed him to his cabin, shoving his fangirls away as they walked through the crowd.
_________________________
‘Girl. You better tell me what's going on asap, because I'm losing my mind’
Marinette stared confused at the screen as a new message arrived on her phone: a video. Marinette was a little unsure to play it seeing Luka in the preview image, but her longing feelings for him and her curiosity won over her fears.
She played it.
"Hi again, everyone. Ugh" Luka looked unexpectedly nervous. "I know it's way past the time we're allowed to 'be noisy', so I'm going to make it quick before agent Roger comes and gives the owner one of his fines." Some people laughed at the back. "I composed this song for a special lady who, sadly, isn't here today- which is why I asked these amazing people to make it reach her. Thank you, guys!" 'He called us amazing!' Nino fuzzed and Alya laughed at her boyfriend. "Anyway- I hope I make myself more clear with this song than with words. This song is for you, Marinette"
Marinette's eyes opened big and she audibly gasped. A song for her…? She knew that melody- the one he was practicing and that reached her heart. And the lyrics…
A confession of love…? Could it be…? She felt tears in her eyes, moved by the perfect harmony between the acoustic guitar's melody, the lyrics he sang with his beautiful angelic voice and the conveyed feelings through it… His feelings for her- his love and his wish for her to be confident and shine.
The song ended and he looked directly at the camera.
"Marinette, I'm sorry for our misunderstanding. I hope I made myself clear this time. Whenever you want, if you want- of course-, you know where to find me. I'll wait for you."
Marinette let out a restrained cry as she pressed the replay button.
______________________________________
Luka was at the upper part of the ship, alone, with a tall glass in front of him. He had only taken a sip, and had focused on his guitar instead, playing 'Marinette's song' tunes.
It had been hours since Marinette's friends- Alya and Nino- had sent her the video, but she didn't appear or reply to them. Being almost 4 AM, he wasn't expecting much. 'So my feelings didn't reach her, huh?' He sighed in defeat.
"Didn't you say no sad faces were allowed here? Or do you have privileges? Because that's unfair"
Luka turned his head and met Marinette's eyes, who had just seated next to him, bringing out all her courage. His face immediately lit up in relief.
"Marinette. You came" he smiled. "Did you-"
"Did you really mean it? The song… those feelings..." she asked in determination. Her heart was about to burst out in both fear and expectation.
"All of it" Luka didn't even flutter, no doubt in his voice.
"Hmm…" Marinette secretly smiled under her bangs and soon, her eyes darted to his drink. She blinked in surprise. "Rose's unicorn special drink? I would have never expected you would like it."
"I don't. I have no idea how you can drink this, actually. It's way too sweet" he stuck his tongue out in disgust and Marinette's lips curved wider.
"Then…" her hand moved to cup the rainbow colored glass. "I hope you don't mind it if…"
"Go ahead- sorry it's not very cold anymore..."
Was she doing it on purpose? Licking her lips, so teasingly after taking a sip… He was feeling all hot out of the sudden, so he rolled his sleeves up. His throat felt suddenly dry.
Still seated next to him, Marinette moved her head to rest it on his shoulder. "Could you sing again...?"
"Of course. Which part?" He strummed his guitar's strings, but she didn't answer and just hummed, as if she was telling him to guess it. "Ok, let me guess. Maybe that you're…
'An extraordinary girl. Clear like a musical note, sincere as a melody. The song that's been playing in my head since our first encounter'
He sang and she blushed, shaking her head. "Not this one? What about this then?" He continued.
'Clear all the fog around you and raise your voice to shine, like the diamond you are. A bright smile no one can deny. Don't be afraid to feel ALIVE'
She shook her head again, and he sang another part, hopefully.
'You're the one in my heart, the perfect melody to admire'
Marinette's smile widened, but she shook her head once again. It didn't pass him how she looked at him from under her lashes.
'Face up, so I can see your glowing eyes and your dazzling smile'
Always up, never behind, don't be afraid to take my hand. A new love story to write, the clock no longer in standby. Give me a second chance and I'll never say goodbye'
Redness found its way to Marinette's face, as she hummed happily. Luka smiled back at her, equally happy, but Marinette didn't have enough yet. She stood up and yelled loudly to the river: "Encore!"
Luka laughed, remembering their first meeting one week ago. "You want an encore? Any requests?" He asked, confidently.
“I want to listen to something PURE” she blushed. “Something that tells me your feelings are genuine as mine. Something that tells me that I’m special to you. Something to clear all the uncertainty I may have left…"
Luka listened to her attentively, and after giving a thought, he knew exactly what to play. He left his guitar aside and took a step closer to Marinette- very close. She was trembling but expectant when he held her hand, exhaled deeply and pressed the palm of her hand on his chest.
His heartbeat.
"This. This is new, even for me. It only happens when you're around, Marinette. And if you allow me to kiss you, I'll prove it right. Shall I?" Marinette opened her eyes wide and her face flustered again. Next, she nodded, and looked up so he could brush his lips to hers softly, carefully, treasuring the feeling the contact gave them… With her hand still on his chest, Marinette noticed how their heartbeat soon beat as one. In unison. Matching tempo, same feelings of love. And that was the best encore she could have ever received.
She was certain now: like the song said, she had cleared up all the fog and was ready to hold his hand without ever looking back.
And with that, all her fears vanished. No more redness on her face. No more stammering. No more nerves. No more negative feelings. She just felt as she always wished.
ALIVE.
More than ever.
Confidently, Marinette raised her glass and drank it whole while staring at Luka’s eyes. Luka gulped, feeling thirsty out of the sudden.
"Marinette. I think I made my feelings clear now. Will you give me an answer? Or at least say yes to a date?" Luka asked, a little impatient.
"I thought you didn't date fans…?" She teased.
"You're not a fan, Marinette. What kind of fan would miss their favorite artist's live performance on purpose? You're the one my heart chose and the most beautiful person I've ever met. You inspire me to compose a thousand songs"
"I can't be your fan, then?" She tilted her head to the side, playfully.
"You can be whatever you want, Marinette," he assured, and her smile brightened.
"Even your one and only official girlfriend?" She said, reaching for his arm.  
"Please be?" He almost begged.
Marinette felt shy out of the sudden. "Yes… I really want to" She nodded and hid her blush burying her face on his shoulder.
"Marinette. Face up" Luka reminded her, happily, and she raised her head to meet his eyes directly, lost in its blueness and his loving smile. One of his hands moved to her hair, brushing her bangs to have a better look at her face, while the other held her hand steadily. Her face flustered and her fingers squeezed back at his. Slowly, they moved closer until their lips melted in a tender kiss. A slow, longer kiss followed.
"That drink sure is sweet" Luka mentioned, licking his lips and making Marinette smile. "But it's not that bad, I guess. I think I could get used to it…" he said, and Marinette giggled.
"See? I told you it was good!" A high-pitched voice yelled from the stairs, followed by a loud gasp.
"Rose!" Another voice called.
"Ah-" the blond lady covered her mouth. "Sorry, keep going! We're not looking! Or listening! We're just here- chilling- we won't interrupt! Go on!"
Luka rolled his eyes and Marinette giggled again. Soon, Juleka excused Rose and dragged her downstairs, giving the new couple some privacy.
"They were worried about you, you know? Don't get mad at them"
"I know" Marinette smiled widely. "I have to apologize to them later, especially to Juleka. What I said… I'm sorry I didn't listen to your explanations…" she lamented, looking down.
"Shhh… That's for later." Luka shushed her and tilted her face up with his hand under her chin. "Do you have more spare kisses to share or are you tired?"
"I- I do have them… a lot, actually" she blushed at his closeness. "And you?"
"For you? I don’t think I could ever get tired of them" he gave her a short kiss, before continuing. "But next time drink something else, please. You're sweet enough, I don't need the extra amount of sugar" Marinette laughed and pressed her lips to his. And he immediately kissed her back. "I love you, Marinette"
"I love you too, Luka" she embraced him closer, her face finding comfort in his arms.
And like that, they kissed until the sunrise.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas Time [Part 1]
Merry Christmas to all those folks who celebrate today! This one is dedicated to those of you of who are perhaps not spending Christmas in the way that you would like this year. I hope this brings you a little bit of Joy. Please note that this fic is filled with happy Christmas people so if that is going to make you feel worse then please avoid. I’m hoping to have a Coops instalment up for those who celebrate on the 25th and O’Knutzy on 26th for all those who have boxing day and second Christmas.
CW: CHRISTMAS AND FOOD TALK
Rating: T, there are some sexual implications but I’m pretty happy leaving this at a T. Let me know if you think that needs to change. 
And finally, to @lumosinlove. Thank you for creating the sweater weather universe and in particular the fabulous OC’s that feature in this fic. They really have been a light in the darkness of this year. 
Anyway, let’s get on with this show.
P.S. Yes, we are just ignoring the fact that hockey players most definitely do not get two weeks off at Christmas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alex had bitched for days about spending his Christmas in the heat of Mauritius - he wasn’t supposed to be opening presents in shorts, dammit - but he’d been willing to concede that he may have been wrong from the very moment that he had stepped through the door of their beach front villa.
He was tired and groggy from the day of travel. The recycled air of the plane had made his throat scratchy; he needed a long, hot shower, and he was generally miserable. 
“Almost there now, sweetcheeks,” Natalie reassured him as the taxi rounded a corner. “You’re going to love it, I promise.” 
The villa was one that Natalie and Kasey had stayed in a few times before, boasting of it’s view and proximity to perfect waves. Right now, Alex didn’t really care about those things. As long as the villa had a comfortable bed and a large shower, he’d be satisfied. 
Natalie was right, and soon the three of them were piling out of the car, hauling bags of luggage behind them. They were only there for two weeks but somehow had five large suitcases between them. 
“I swear, I’m going to sleep for two days,” Alex grumbled as Kasey keyed in the number to obtain the keys. 
“Try and stay awake for a few more hours,” Kasey said. “You’ll feel way better tomorrow for it.”
“Yeah, yeah, jetlag, blah, try to acclimatise to local time, blah -” Alex’s rant was cut short as he stepped through the door. “Wow,” he gasped. 
The villa was gorgeous. He’d expected the large expanse of open plan luxury; a haven of polished metal and glass windows that showed panoramic views of white sand meeting a crystal clear sea. What he hadn’t expected was the giant Christmas tree, at least a few feet taller than himself, and the rest of the expertly placed decorations. 
“Do you like it?” Kasey asked. Alex saw the glance that he and Natalie shared. They were probably worried, he’d been frozen in place for the last 30 seconds. 
Alex nodded, taking a moment to find his words, “It’s incredible. Just like home. Better.”
Everywhere he looked there was something new. A wreath on the wall. Faux furs draped over the seating. A garland that snaked all the way up the spiral staircase. 
“Are those?” Alex stepped towards the stockings that hung on the wall. Each one had a name sewn into it. Natalie. Alex. Kasey.
“Yeah,” Natalie nodded. “One for each of us. Lils made those.”
Alex let himself be pulled into Kasey’s arms, feeling a bit overwhelmed. 
“We know that Christmas with your family is very important to you and we just want you to know that we are incredibly grateful that you decided to spend it with us this year,” Kasey said softly. 
“Finn already bailed anyway,” Alex gave a small laugh. He felt Natalie join them and her arms were also there, enclosing Alex between his two favourite people. 
“We told them to leave the tree. Thought we could decorate it together?” Natalie told him.
“God, I love you two.” Alex breathed. 
That had been ten days ago. Now, a cheesy Christmas movie played on the TV but Alex wasn’t paying it much attention; enjoying the memory and being curled into Kasey’s chest. His fingers played idly with Natalie’s blonde waves as she snored softly in his lap.  
It was the perfect end to a perfect day, a delicately balanced mixture of tradition and newness. Alex saw how hard his partners had worked to give him a Christmas day that rivalved those of his memories with his family and Alex couldn’t wait to thank them properly for it tomorrow. For now though, he was content to just bask in the moment.
“Al,” Kasey whispered. “Do you want to head to bed? I’m not really watching this.”
Alex looked up at Kasey, a gentle smile resting on his lips, “Yeah, bed sounds good to me.”
“Shotgun, not waking Natalie up” Kasey laughed.
“No need to wake her up. I’ll carry her,” Alex said. "Besides, she’s not that bad.”
Kasey frowned, “She bit me once.” 
“Yeah, and did you clap in her ear like you did to me that time?” Alex replied. “Because if so, then you deserved it.” 
“Not my fault you both sleep like the dead.” Kasey mumbled under his breath, switching off the TV and taking their dirty glasses to the sink. 
Natalie gave a small grumble as she was picked up, wriggling in Alex’s arms before settling herself into the crook. 
“God, she’s so cute.” Alex spoke quietly. 
“You both are.” Kasey said with a grin, pressing a kiss first to Natalie’s cheek and then Alex’s. He led them the short distance to the bedroom, pulling the thin sheets on the bed back so that Alex could lie Natalie down. 
“I’m just gonna brush my teeth,” Alex started to walk towards the en-suite but suddenly his phone was vibrating against the bedside table. The noise seemed extraordinarily loud in the quiet room. “Fuck, that’ll be Finn. Get that please, Kase?”
Kasey grabbed the phone and Alex heard a snort as he read the contact name, Fillet O’Fish. 
“Hi!” Finn’s voice boomed a few seconds before his face appeared. 
“Sssh.” Kasey hissed, rapidly hitting the down volume key. 
“Oh, hi, Blizz,” Finn said. “Don’t know why I wasn’t expecting you. You’re naked. Why are you naked? Am I interrupting something? Is Alex naked too? I don’t want to see that.” 
Alex plucked the phone from Kasey’s hand with a laugh. “He’s not naked, we’re just getting reading for bed,” Alex replied, panning the camera down and showing Kasey’s plaid pyjama pants to prove his point. 
Alex pecked Kasey on the lips, “I’m going to take this to the other room.” 
“Alright,” Kasey returned the kiss. “Merry Christmas Finn,” he added, giving the camera a wave. 
“Merry Christmas, Kase!” a chorus of replies was heard. 
Alex wandered from the bedroom, settling himself into a seat that gave a stunning view of the beach that their villa was sat on. 
“Wait, isn’t it only 9 pm there?” Finn asked. “Why are you going to bed already?” 
Before Alex could answer, Logan appeared in the frame, leaning over the back of the sofa to wrap his arms around Finn’s neck, “So nosy, Fish. Maybe they tired each other out, eh?” 
Finn’s nose wrinkled with a look of disgust, “eww.”
“Nothing like that,” Alex laughed. “Not this evening anyway,” he continued, a slight twinkle in his eyes.
“Get it, Alex,” Leo teased, flopping himself onto the sofa next to Finn. 
“Look at this view,” Alex said, turning the camera so they could see the idyllic scenery in an attempt to change the subject. It only served to trigger a memory from earlier that day, one that he probably shouldn't have been thinking about whilst on the phone with his brother. 
Alex sighed happily to himself as he looked down at the watch on his wrist. It looked out of place against his bright blue and pink flamingo shorts, but Alex had received it from Kasey earlier that morning and he refused to take it off. 
It was barely 11 am. However, it was Christmas day, so Alex didn't feel even the slightest bit guilty about the cosmopolitan balanced between his fingers, as he waited for Natalie and Kasey to come back from their surf. Alex wasn’t the biggest fan of the water, preferring to stay in the shade of the giant umbrella they had set up despite Natalie’s playful chirping. 
Alex had pointed the watch out on his and Kasey’s first date without Natalie. They'd been heading to the aquarium when Alex had spotted it in the window of the jewellers. He'd made the briefest passing comment about how beautiful it was and it made Alex's heart sing that Kasey had remembered. 
As if they knew that he was thinking about them, Alex saw the sun bronzed figures of his partners making their way towards him. They looked good; fitted wetsuits showing off their toned bodies and their faces brightened by laughter. Alex loved Kasey’s laugh, people thought it was rare but he just saved it for those that he thought truly deserved it. Apparently, Alex was one of those people now. 
“Close your mouth, O’Hara.” Natalie teased, grabbing a towel and piling her hair into it. 
“Hmm,” Finn nodded, pulling Alex from the memory too soon. “That is beautiful. I think mine has been better though.” His brother's eyes glanced back towards Logan with a smirk and Alex had a sneaking suspicion that Logan's torso wasn't the only thing that was bare. 
"Yeah, you can keep that one for yourself," Alex retorted. 
“Hey Haz! Did Kase like his present?” Leo asked. 
Alex had enjoyed getting to know his brother’s second boyfriend. He offered a stabilizing presence to Finn and Logan’s chaos and to paraphrase shrek, “he was like an onion, he had layers.” Leo had been Kasey’s secret santa and Alex hated to admit it, but he had done a great job. 
“Unfortunately yes,” Alex pretended to glare. “I suppose I have Finn to thank for helping you with that?”
Leo shook his head, “Your mom actually. She was more than willing to send many photos of baby Alex.” 
Alex barked out a laugh, “Of course she was.” He couldn’t really be mad. The three of them had spent an age flipping through the scrapbook of his childhood photos, laughing at the annotations that Leo had added in his delicate script. 
The alarm on Leo’s phone blared. “Sorry, that’s the timer for the potatoes,” the blond apologised. “I better go and check on them.”
“I can come and help.” Finn said.
Alex saw Leo visibly wince before he replied, "No thank you sweetheart. Y’all stay and talk with your brother.” 
Alex raised an eyebrow, “Do I even want to know what disasters you are causing?”
“You cannot talk, Alexander,” Logan defended. “You nearly burnt your kitchen down making toast.”
Alex didn’t have an argument to that, it was true. He hadn’t been much help with Christmas dinner either. 
“Are you sure that you don’t want me to do anything?”  Alex asked for the thousandth time. Besides setting the table, he really hadn’t done much to help with the meal and he didn’t feel great about it. 
“Yes,” Natalie insisted. “We really do not need a trip to the ER today. Just sit down and look pretty.” 
He protested a little but did as he was told. He watched Natalie and Kasey work, moving seamlessly around one another. And then Alex was standing again. He went back inside, ignoring his partner's queries. He was only going to be a moment anyway. Alex reappeared with his camera. He may not be able to cook, but he was excellent at photography. He remembered how they had found so much joy in looking at the photos of himself earlier and wanted to document their first Christmas together. Hopefully, in years to come it would bring them similar joy. 
He took photo after photo of the meal coming together. Kasey flipping the steaks on the BBQ. Natalie glazing the prawns in sauce. The private glances they shared. 
The camera was taken out of his hands and he heard the shutter snap as Natalie fed him pieces of peach. 
He beckoned the two of them over and took a few shots of the three of them together, Santa hats perched on their heads, until Natalie was cursing about something burning.
He’d go through the photos later but he doubted there would be many that he wanted to delete. 
“Earth to Alex!” Finn shouted and Alex blushed as he realised that they had been trying to get his attention for a little while.
Logan rolled his eyes, “You and Finn make the same stupid faces.”
“Oi!” Alex and Finn exclaimed together. 
“C’est Vrai,” Logan chimed.
“I’ll admit to being a hopeless romantic.” Alex shrugged. “It’s part of my charm.”
Finn snorted at that, “It’s not my fault that you and Le are so cute.”
“Agreed.” Alex nodded. “Nat and Kase should be less perfect. It’s all their fault really.”
“You’re both disgusting,” Logan groaned, but he was pressing his lips to the bare flesh on the back of Finn's neck, and Alex had known those two long enough to know exactly where that was going. 
“On that note, I am going to bed. Have a fantastic Christmas, boys.”

i am in a storytelling mood and you all will now be forced to listen to it
So back in sophomore year, I had this final project for the end of the year. We had to make a book trailer with a partner, and our book was Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay. It's about this high schooler who goes to the Philippines to investigate why his cousin died.
Our school was not an art school; it was just a regular public high school, and so we were not expected to draw the whole thing. We were expected to find some videos, or film ourselves acting stuff out, or use Ken Burns effects on stock images in iMovie. My partner certainly thought that using stock images would be a good idea, and she legitimately saw no problem with the original "final product" of our iMovie low budget shitty production.
However, my dumbass was excited, because I liked animating and the plot of the book allowed for some very interesting imagery. I had ideas, oh so many ideas.
I was a fool.
Because the one fatal thing my dumbass forgot to take into consideration was that I was, and still am, a serial procrastinator.
(the trailer is below the cut)
So, after getting pretty much nothing done, midnight arrived on the due date. And I was terrified, but in that "eh it doesn't really matter" kind of terrified way because I was an emotionless husk and couldn't feel any emotions other than “welp”.
I had maybe 10 seconds done of what was roughly supposed to be a 1 minute and 30 second long video.
My English class started at 10:05.
“Well you had 10 hours, Soro-“ NO I DIDNT
because i had to LEAVE for school at 6:30 and i had chemistry, java, and health between 7:30 and 10:00 so i couldn’t do any of my work during those periods.
So I had about 6 hours to make an entire book trailer. Whoop.
I started off well enough with the Gising Na Ph! posts. Except I didn’t start off well at all and I spent at least two of my six hours trying to figure out how hands worked before finally letting go of any honor I had left in my being and just tracing stock images.
Now, my partner had gotten a few good images on her version of the movie, which she’d graciously sent to me so that I could scrap most of it. And I wasn’t intending to use any of them in the slightest, but by this point it was about 2 am, and I figured I should hustle a little bit. I was planning to import her iMovie into my iMovie and take the photos from there. Easy enough, right?
NO
The file got corrupted somehow and I had to reverse image search every single image that I wanted to use by screenshotting them from the movie rather than having the photos themselves. And for some inexplicable reason, I wanted to try to resemble my partner’s movie as closely as possible, which meant using the same photos. Could I have just found different stock photos? Yes. Was I in my right mind at the time? No. Did I even consider trying to find different photos? Not until 5 am.
Now, along with the movie being corrupted, that also meant that my partner’s recorded voice lines were inaccessible to me. That meant I had to record my own. At 5 am.
I have several friends who are very talented voice actors. They live in Britain, so it wasn’t too early for them. They’d already expressed that they were willing to help two weeks prior, back when I thought I wasn’t going to procrastinate. Should I have asked them? Hell fucking yes. Did I? Well, I just so happened to ask the only one of them that wasn’t awake at the time. Luck and reason are on my side, clearly.
5:30 am, I realized that my friend probably wasn’t going to answer on time. And it just so happened that one of my irl friends had woken up, for some ungodly reason like sleeping on time or something. I quite literally begged him to record two voice lines for me, and lo and behold, he actually did it. He sounded deader on the inside than me, but his character just so happened to require being dead inside, so that ended up working out. He recorded the voice lines on Notability. That was pretty funny.
(around 6 am my british friend saw my message and he was like oh shit whoops ill do it now and i had to awkwardly explain to him that i found a replacement. that wasnt a fun conversation to have at 6 am)
6:30 am I was in the car. The movie was almost done; I just needed one final image of Jun and Jay together, and I wasn’t going to find that on Google Images. I drew it during health class. My teacher definitely noticed and was probably pissed.
10:00 am. I actually went into the bathroom stalls during the 5 minute transition period between classes, pulled out my headphones, and listened to the whole thing just to check it over. (I’m overly paranoid about how loud my voice is in recordings due to a certain incident that won’t be explained in this post) It sounded fine. Everything was fine. It was all good.
10:05 am, English started. A few other groups went before me. I was ready to present. I had the movie open on my iPad, and I was resigned to my fate. I tried my hardest, somehow. That was enough. My partner hadn’t gotten to check over my movie at all, so she had no idea what was about to happen. That was fine.
11:00 am. Class...ended?
waiit shit that isn’t right. i spent all night working on that movie trailer and i didnt get to present it???
WELL, as it turns out, my AirPlay wasn’t working or something and the method of sharing to Google Drive was apparently too time-consuming, so I had to present the next day. A whole nother 24 hours, just handed to me like that. I could do anything I wanted with the movie in that period of time.
What the fuck.
“So you definitely removed the stock photos and made your movie even better in that time, right, Soro?” oh FUCK no dude i got home at 3, yelled to my friends for an hour about how mad I was, and then fell asleep at 4 pm and didn’t wake up until 6:00 am.
I presented this movie the next day.
I got an A+.

𝙻𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸𝚗 𝙼𝚢 𝙼𝚒𝚗𝚍
Genre: Soulmate!au, fluff, slight angst?
Word count: 6k
Warnings: swearing
Requested: Yes, for my friend Kenz ♡
*****Important note before reading: when words are italicized during conversations, it is Mackenzie’s thoughts //// when words are italicized and bolded in conversations, it is Changbin’s thoughts*****
Tumblr media
In this world, everyone has their ‘person’. Someone to spend the rest of their lives with. Someone to love them forever. Someone chosen specifically for them. In this world, everyone has a soulmate. But no one knows who they are until they discover them through certain abilities. Some soulmates share matching tattoos from birth. Some are able to communicate through the writings on their arm. Some even see in black and white until one day, they meet their soulmate and finally see in color. There is a wide variety of connections that people share with their soulmate. 
In Mackenzie’s particular case, she can hear her soulmate’s thoughts. It all began when she turned twenty last month. She’d woken up during a nap because she kept hearing a voice. Thinking someone was outside her apartment. However when she opened the door, nobody stood outside. That’s weird. She shut the door before she heard the voice again. Where the hell is that voice coming from? she thought to herself. Terrified that someone had broken into her apartment, she began to panic. I’m about to die aren’t I? The voice rang out again, making her stop in her tracks.
Calm down, it’s just me, the voice spoke out. 
Turning her head all around, she looked for the source. Nothing. “Who’s there?” she whimpered. 
Will you please relax? You’re giving me a headache, the voice spoke again.
“What’s going on?” Mackenzie rubbed her face in distress.
It’s me. Your soulmate.
After the confession, she went silent. Afraid to speak. Afraid to think. Was this really her soulmate? It’d been five minutes and she’d already annoyed them. This was not how she wanted her first interaction with her soulmate to go.
________________________________________________________________
1 month later...
Even as the days passed, she’d been too scared to acknowledge them. Too worried she’d only annoy them further. Still, they could hear her thoughts as she could their’s. She began to wonder just how long they’d been able to hear her. Had it been for a while or had they only started hearing her recently too?
Suddenly the voice rang out, acknowledging each other for the first time since that day. I’ve been able to hear you for a little over a year now.
Her eyes grew wide as she apologized, Oh god I’m so sorry. I know I'm annoying.
She could hear them snicker, Relax, it’s cool. It’s been quite interesting.
Immediately she groaned. I don’t even want to know the type of things you’ve heard. She recalled all the times she complained about period cramps and the stress from school to quoting vines and fangirling about boys on a regular basis. At this point, she wanted to crawl into a hole and die alone from the embarrassment.
I’ve heard it all. Especially your little fascination with Stray Kids. 
Okay. For one, it’s definitely not little and two, we’re absolutely not going to discuss that. You’ve already heard too much.
That I have Mac.
Exac—wait what? How do you know my name?
Do you not realize how much you talk to yourself?
Point taken. What’s your name?
Bin.
Cute.
Please don’t.
Damn okay.
I’m off to work now. I’ll talk later.
Bye Bin.
Bye.
“Well they seem like fun” Mackenzie pursed her lips together as she got in her car and drove to work.
________________________________________________________________
2 days later…
“Don’t forget your paper is due Sunday night at 11:59 pm” the professor announced. Everyone gathered their things as they exited the lecture hall. Mackenzie sighed heavily. She had two days to complete a paper that she hadn’t even started. Between her other classes and work, she didn’t really have time for it. Now her busy schedule was catching up to her as she would more than likely have to pull all nighters to finish it. Walking through her apartment door, she tossed her bag on the couch before grabbing a couple snacks from the kitchen to get her through the night.
“Only the power of god and anime will get me through this paper” Mackenzie groaned as she opened the bag of chips and her laptop before beginning her paper. About four hours later, she’d gotten a little over half of the assignment done before she had to take a short break. Looking at her phone, the clock showed, ‘11:46pm’. Yeah, it was probably going to be a long night but she was determined to finish the assignment before work tomorrow night. Resuming her work, she spent another hour typing away at the laptop when a voice interrupted her thoughts.
You’re literally making ME stressed out and I’m not the one even writing a paper.
I’m sorry.
Are you okay?
If I say yes, will you leave me alone so that I can work?
I would but that doesn’t seem like the right thing to do. Now what’s wrong?
I’m stressed and exhausted.
Why don’t you stop and finish it later? You shouldn’t overwork yourself.
Because I have work tomorrow and the next day so I literally have no other time to do this but now.
Just don’t overwork yourself please.
Why? Are you worried or something?
Considering you’re my soulmate, yes I am.
Mackenzie’s heart skipped a beat. Sometimes she forgets that the voice in her head wasn’t hers and that it was the person she was destined to spend the rest of her life with.
Okay. I won’t.
Good. I’m going back to work now. Good luck Mac.
Thanks Bin.
Afterwards, Mackenzie set her mind to finish as soon as she could. Closing her laptop not too much later. She checked her phone again as the clock struck ‘2:00am’. She lifted her tired limbs from the couch to tread to her room. Changing into something more comfortable, she collapsed into bed and immediately knocked out.
________________________________________________________________
3 hours later... 
A voice stirred Mackenzie from her sleep. Was she dreaming or----?
Bin?
Yes?
It’s 5am, why are you awake?
Because it’s 6pm for me.
Oh. So he lived across the world.
Did I wake you?
Yeah but it’s okay.
I’m sorry.
You sound stressed. What’s wrong?
It’s nothing, go back to sleep.
Do you really think I’m going to buy that? Spill.
I’m just stressed about work and took it out on one of my roommates.
Why are you stressed?
My project’s deadline is in a week and I’m still not finished with it.
What kind of project?
They hesitated for a moment. Mackenzie waited patiently for an answer.
Producing a song.
You work in the music industry? That’s pretty cool. Mackenzie could hear them sigh, slightly relieved.
Yeah. It’s fun but stressful most of the time.
Understandable.
What do you do?
I’m in college but I work part time at a clothing store.
That’s--
Not exciting I know. Look, as much as I’d like to learn more about you, it’s almost 6am and I have to work tomorrow, so I should probably go back to sleep.
Okay, sorry again for waking you.
It’s cool. Goodnight Bin.
Goodnight Mac.
________________________________________________________________
1 week later…
Over the past few days, Mackenzie had more interactions with her soulmate. Granted, it wasn’t very many because they both had very different and busy schedules, especially with the time zone difference. However, they’d managed to learn a few more things about each other. So far, Mackenzie had learned that Bin was a twenty one year old boy from Korea who worked in the music industry and lived with several obnoxious roommates (his description, not hers). Bin learned that she was a twenty year old girl who lived with her best friend Allie in New York and was in college. 
“You know the tickets go on sale in a month right?” Allie asked the girl, bringing her back to reality. The two girls were currently trying to pass the time at work as they folded clothes and reorganized the racks.
“I know. You’re still going with me right?” Mackenzie asked, holding a shirt in her hands. Allie looked at her dumbfounded.
“As if I’d ever miss it. I’ve been saving up for like four months now” Allie laughed.
“I’m just worried that we won’t be able to get tickets. You know how fast they sold out last time” Mackenzie expressed worriedly.
“I don’t care what I gotta do. We are seeing Stray Kids and that’s final” Allie huffed in determination. Mackenzie just laughed at the girl, moving behind the counter to help the customers in line.
God please let us get tickets, Mackenzie thought to herself, wanting the day to be over with.
I’m afraid I can’t help you with that, Bin’s voice startled her.
With what?
The tickets. Who are you trying to see?
Stray Kids.
Holy shit.
Don’t tell me your a fan of them?
And what if I am?
Omg. Who’s your bias?
Who’s yours?
Changbin.
Eh, mine’s Felix.
Are you going to see them?
Would be kinda hard not to.
Exactly. I hope I can get tickets. Allie and I have been saving for months.
Good luck. I hope you can get them.
________________________________________________________________
30 minutes before the ticket release…
“I’m so nervous I might vomit” Mackenzie announced. In front of her, laid both of their laptops and phones with the ticket website open.
“Please don’t” Allie paced around the room, biting her nails anxiously. They’d both been a nervous wreck all day due to the concert tickets going on sale tonight. After several months of working their ass off and saving every penny possible, the moment had finally come. If they didn’t get tickets, they’d be absolutely devestated.
“Holy shit. Only 5 more minutes Kenz” Allie threw herself on the ground next to Mackenzie, ready to spend all her money.
“Just stay as calm as possible” Mackenzie told the girl, also trying to do the same for herself.
5……..4….….3……..2….....1
The clock struck 7:00pm as the girls refreshed the websites. The website immediately crashing due to all the people trying to do the same as them. Quickly after, the website recovered as they searched for tickets. In a matter of six minutes, Allie turned to Mackenzie and she did the same, both girls speaking at the same time.
“They sold out.”
“I got them.”
“WHAT” Allie choked as her eyes doubled in size, shock spread across her face, “Kenz don’t play with me like that.”
“Al, we got VIP” Mackenzie grinned at the girl as she showed her the purchase confirmation on her laptop. ‘2 VIP tickets for Stray Kids in New York on December 16th’
“Holy shit” Allie began to tear up, “WE’RE GOING TO SEE STRAY KIDS HOLY SHIT!” The girl tackled Mackenzie into a hug as tears streamed down her face.
“I’M GOING TO MEET BINNIE” Mackenzie all but screamed as the girls jumped up and down in excitement. Immediately, Allie froze in place.
“Oh my god I’m going to meet Jisung” Allie began screaming again, as if she just realized they’d be meeting them. After their excitement died down, the girls watched netflix while they ate dinner together before splitting off into their own rooms.
Congrats Mac.
Thanks! Did you get tickets?
No. Sold out immediately.
Oh no, I’m sorry.
It’s cool. I’m at work now, I’ll talk later. Bye Mac.
Bye Bin.
Three months until her and Allie would be seeing the boys in concert for the very first time. How is she supposed to sleep now?
________________________________________________________________
2 weeks later… 
Mackenzie sat in class, bored out of her mind as she listened to the professor ramble on and on about whatever topic they’d been discussing. Completely zoned out, she started humming I am You to herself.
It’s 3am. Please stop singing.
I’m bored, sorry.
Are you in class?
Yep. I don’t even know what the professor is talking about.
Maybe if you paid attention.
Maybe if you stanned Loona.
Um what?
Nothing. Go back to sleep.
I can’t.
Why?
I want to talk to you. Mackenzie’s heart fluttered at the thought. How sweet.
About what?
Are you excited for the Stray Kids concert?
YES. I’m going to meet Changbin!
Why do you like him so much?
Isn’t it obvious? The boy can fucking rap better than anyone else. He’s pretty badass but he’s also a cute baby.
Cute baby?
The cutest. I also admire his love for music and his members.
That’s…..really sweet.
It’s the truth. I have to go now, class is over. Bye Bin.
Bye Mac.
________________________________________________________________
1 month later…
Mackenzie and Allie wandered around the department store, looking for the perfect outfits for the concert that was two months away. They were currently in the fifth store today. All the others proven to be unsuccessful.
“What do you think of this?” Allie held a dress up to her body. Mackenzie gave it a glance before shaking her head.
“Too bright. Find something darker” Mackenzie recommended, looking through the various racks of clothes. An item caught her eye as she grabbed it from the rack, walking around the store to find something to go with it. Quickly finding what she had envisioned, she found Allie holding up two jackets to her front, comparing them. She turned to her friend.
“Help” Allie asked, internally struggling as she couldn’t decide which jacket she liked more.
“The green one” Mackenzie said without hesitation as she walked towards the dressing rooms. Allie placed the other jacket back before following Mackenzie. The two girls walked into the rooms next to each other. Prepared to show the other their selection. 
“Are you dressed yet?” Allie asked the girl. Tying the laces on her boots, she answered the girl by opening her door. Stepping out of the room at the same time, the girls looked over each other before Allie clapped her hands excitedly.
“You look perfect!” Allie shouted in glee. Mackenzie adjusted her hat. She’d chosen an oversized black and yellow flannel paired with a black t-shirt dress, black knee high socks and black combat boots.
“You don’t think it’s too bland?” Mackenzie asked worriedly. It’d already taken most of the day to find something and if this wasn’t it then she didn’t know if she’d ever find the right outfit.
“Omg no. Changbin’s gonna freak when he sees you” Allie stated confidently, making the girl smile. Mackenzie then took notice of her friend’s choice of clothing.
“Did we really get the same shoes?” Mackenzie stifled a laugh. Allie had chosen a pair of black denim high-waisted shorts with a black top, an oversized olive green jacket (Mackenzie’s choice from the two), black combat boots, and a cheetah print beanie.
“Soulmate things” Allie replied as if it wasn’t already obvious. 
________________________________________________________________
2 weeks before the concert… 
The day couldn’t get any worse for Mackenzie. First, she’d gotten back her history test, finding out that she’d failed it. Then her car wouldn’t start so she had to get it towed and because she was short a car, she had to walk home. Just when she was ten minutes away from her apartment, rain had begun pouring down as it soaked through her hair and clothes. Once inside her apartment, she was met with silence as Allie was working the night shift that night, leaving her home alone. Peeling the wet clothes from her body, she took a warm shower to ease her stress before climbing out and getting dressed. Mackenzie sighed as she crawled into bed.
The stress of the day had finally hit her as she broke down, sobbing into her pillow. She was pretty good about controlling her emotions but after the events from today, there was no way that was happening. Fifteen minutes had passed when a voice broke through Mackenzie’s sobs.
What’s wrong? Bin asked you after hearing your upsetting thoughts.
I’d say nothing but you’re not stupid.
Do you want to talk?
It’s just been a really shitty day and I want to forget about it.
Alright then. Ask me something.
Ask you something?
Yeah ask me a question. I’m trying to change the subject.
What’s your full name?
Okay anything but that.
But… 
You know I can’t answer that.
Okay then. When will we meet?
A lot sooner than you probably expect.
What’s that supposed to mean?
It means we’ll have to wait and see when that day comes.
Are you kidding me? Mackenzie groaned, earning a laugh from the boy.
Sorry Mac. Just be patient. 
Yeah yeah, like I have a choice.
I know it’s late there, you need to go to sleep.
I don’t wanna.
Omg go to sleep.
Okay damn I will.
Goodnight Mac.
Goodnight Bin. 
________________________________________________________________
The day before the concert… 
Work had been slow as Mackenzie and Allie tried finding any little task to pass the time. Mackenzie had been staring aimlessly at the people walking past the store just as Allie sat next to her.
“Can you fucking believe it? We’re seeing Stray Kids tomorrow night!!” Allie hollered in excitement.
“Could you be any louder? You’re scaring the customers” Mackenzie apologized to the customer walking by.
“Actually I could but you’d slap me” Allie retorted. 
“I’d slap you regardless” Mackenzie snickered, making Allie roll her eyes.
“I hate you sometimes” Allie groaned.
“Likewise” Mackenzie winked playfully at her friend.
“You’re pretending to act cool but I know you’re freaking out on the inside” Allie commented.
“Of course I am. We’ve waited forever for the moment” Mackenzie started before adding, “I just have this gut feeling like something will be different.”
“What do you mean?” Allie questioned her friend.
“I’m not sure. Something in me just feels different” Mackenzie answered, confused as well.
“Good different or bad different?”
“Definitely good” Mackenzie grinned brightly.
“What if one of them falls in love with you!!!” Allie all but screamed, once again scaring the nearby customers. Mackenzie threw her hands over her face as she groaned.
“As if that would ever happen” Mackenzie quickly shut her friend’s idea down.
“You never know” Allie winked at the girl before assisting a customer in need.
Alone with her thoughts, Mackenzie couldn’t help but wonder what was causing her to have this feeling. Maybe it wasn’t the concert that was giving her this feeling. Maybe it was the fact that Bin said they’d meet sooner than she expected. How soon was soon? She was afraid that she’d never meet him considering he wouldn’t share his name. Mackenzie understood that he kept it hidden for safety precautions, just as she did her own identity. If only she could shake this feeling so she could focus on the excitement of the concert with her best friend.
Why are you always so stressed?  Bin thought, making Mackenzie huff.
I could say the same to you, Mackenzie retorted.
Touche. So…what’s on your mind?
Too much.
Do you want to talk about it?
Not exactly. I’d rather just not think about it at the moment.
What DO you want to think about?
The concert tomorrow night.
It’s tomorrow night?? Bin asked, somewhat panicked.
That’s what I just said.
Wow. I didn’t realize it was so soon. Are you excited?
Of course I am. I’m just extremely scared to meet them, especially Changbin.
Why especially him?
You know how it goes, everyone wants to be remembered. He’s my favorite so of course I’d like for him to remember me. I just don’t want to embarrass myself or for him to be disappointed.
Why would he be disappointed?
There’s plenty of other girls who are much prettier than me so I can’t be that exciting to meet.
I know for a fact that’s not true.  You’re a beautiful girl Mac.
Bin, you’ve literally never seen me before.
I don’t have to see you. I know your personality, how kind your heart is, how hardworking you are. Looks aren’t the only thing that makes you attractive.
You really think that?
I don’t think, I KNOW.
Thank you for cheering me up.
Anytime.
I have to go back to work now.
Let me know how the concert goes. Bye Mac.
I will. Bye Bin.
That feeling in her stomach only intensified after the conversation came to an end. Instead of thinking about it more, Mackenzie focused all of her attention into little tasks at work, hoping for the day to come to an end as soon as possible. If only she knew what would happen to her the next day.
________________________________________________________________
Concert day… 
“I’m so glad we have seats because there’s no way I could stand in that line all day” Allie commented as they’d arrived at the venue with only five hours to go until the concert.
“Seats or not, I still can’t believe we got VIP. Like, we’re gonna meet them in less than eight hours” Mackenzie remained calm and collected on the outside, but on the inside she felt like she would vomit any second now thanks to her anxious nerves. Allie, however, was a different story as she grabbed ahold of Mackenzie’s arms and started jumping excitedly.
“I’m gonna meet Jisung and you’re gonna meet Changbin!!!!” Allie squealed loudly. There wasn’t any point in shushing her as she wasn’t the only one acting this way.
“Promise me when we do that you won’t scare the poor boys” Mackenzie begged, making Allie laugh.
“I promise…maybe” Allie grinned. That girl really had no shame. Mackenzie figured that’s why they made such a great pair. They were both similar and different in every way. Mackenzie shook her head.
“After we get our wristbands, let’s grab some food at across the street and hang out there until it’s time to get in line again” Allie pointed at the cafe, Cozy Cup,  in front of the venue as Mackenzie agreed. Both of the girls proceeded to get in line for their wristbands, only having to wait around thirty minutes before they walked to the cafe. Cozy Cup was a small cafe that’s menu consisted of coffees, smoothies, and baked goods. Mackenzie ordered an iced caramel coffee and a scone while Allie ordered a pineapple smoothie and cookie. They’d both eaten a large breakfast so they weren’t in the mood for much at the moment, waiting until after the concert to pig out. Food on a nervous stomach was never a good idea. Sitting down with their purchases, they spotted a few other fans sitting around the cafe, probably doing the same thing as them.
The two girls chatted for the next couple hours, having to get refills on their drinks, before the clock struck ‘6:30pm’ signaling that it was time for them to get back in line as the concert would begin in an hour and a half. Throwing their trash away, Mackenzie and Allie headed back across the street towards the venue, noticing how the lines had grown at least three times in size. After forty five minutes of waiting, the two girls were finally ushered inside the venue after going through security and getting their tickets scanned. Even though they had seats, they made sure to get as close as possible to the stage, scoring seats in the front row.
Watching as more fans continued to pile into the venue, it was now five minutes until the concert would begin. Suddenly, Mackenzie’s head filled with anxious thoughts as her soulmate had begun to freak out over something.
Bin are you okay?
I will be soon, don’t worry, Bin rushed out before adding, Enjoy the concert.
Talk to you later.
Oh you have no idea, Bin accidentally thought. Mackenzie furrowed her brows in confusion.
No idea about what?
Nothing. Have fun, Bye Mac.
Bye Bin, Mackenzie thought just as the lights when down and fans began to scream.
In one moment the stage was empty and then the next, nine boys filled the empty stage as the noise from the fans intensified. Mackenzie and Allie would, without a doubt, have sore throats the next day as they joined the rest of the cheering. Never in her life did she believe she’d ever get the chance to see these boys live, much less with her best friend next to her. It really was a dream come true. The odd feeling still remained but she pushed it into the back of her mind as she focused on the boys on stage. Halfway through the concert, they took a break to talk to the fans before Changbin spoke up.
“Who’s ready for the next song?” He asked as fans screamed in response.
“This is….. Voices.” The moment he announced the title, that feeling in the pit of Mackenzie’s stomach grew stronger as she grew silent. All she could do was listen and watch as they performed the song. She wanted to sing along but something told her not to. She started to feel overwhelmed, having to sit down for a moment. Her actions caused Allie to glance over, asking if she was okay. Mackenzie reassured her that she was fine and Allie turned back to the boys. The moment Mackenzie lifted her head, she noticed Changbin searching into the crowd, looking slightly worried. I wonder why, she thought. Changbin quickly recovered, continuing with the concert as he searched the crowd. 
Sooner than anyone wanted, the concert came to an end as the boys bowed goodbye on stage before exiting, probably going to get ready for the hi-touch event. Mackenzie watched as the fans who didn’t have VIP exited the venue while the fans who did remained in their seats, waiting to meet the boys. Everyone was split into three groups, Mackenzie and Allie being in the second group. As the first group was called to enter, the next group stood to go next. A few minutes later and then it was their group’s turn to go. Allie was in front of Mackenzie as they followed through the halls, security directing the fans the right way.
And then she saw them. First up was Seungmin. Everything happened so fast, she couldn’t process it quick enough. The order of the line went: Seungmin, Felix, Woojin, Minho, Jisung, Changbin, Jeongin, Hyunjin, Chan. While greeting the first few members, Mackenzie watched as Allie stood in front of Jisung, the girl freaking out when Jisung winked at her. The line continued to move as it was Mackenzie’s turn to greet Jisung. The boy flashed her a bright smile, thanking her for coming before moving to the next fan. Mackenzie looked up at the next boy, heart dropping in her stomach as she noticed Changbin already looking at her. She moved closer, smiling nervously at him.
Holy shit it’s really him, Mackenzie thought excitedly.
Time seemed to freeze as Changbin’s eyes went wide, “Mac?”
The smile that once painted Mackenzie’s face, dropped instantly after hearing the nickname fall from his lips. “Bin” Mackenzie gasped, watching as the boy panicked when security rushed Mackenzie to greet the remaining members. She couldn’t help but glance back at the boy the further she moved down the line, catching his eyes on her more than once. 
Please don’t leave.
No response.
Let’s talk after I’m done. Please Mac.
Okay. Meet me across the street at Cozy Cup.
After one final glance, Mackenzie followed behind Allie as she moved out of the boy’s sight. Stopping just outside the venue, Mackenzie dropped to her knees in shock as everything finally hit her.
“Kenz what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Allie continued throwing questions at the girl as she crouched down in front of her.
“No” was all Mackenzie could get out before looking up at her friend in horror.
“You’re scaring me” Allie panicked, grabbing Mackenzie’s hands.
“I need to tell you something” Mackenzie rushed out, “but it needs to be in private.”
Allie nodded her head, helping the girl up as the two walked across the street to the cafe. Choosing a booth near the back, away from other customers, Mackenzie took a deep breath before beginning.
“I met my soulmate” Mackenzie admitted for the first time to anyone. Allie’s eyes grew wide in shock.
“You WHAT? Omg!!! Who is he????” Allie sat on the edge of her seat, waiting for an answer.
“Changbin.”
“What? How? When? WHAT?” Allie threw questions at her left and right before Mackenzie stopped her.
“I’m trying to explain woman! It started a month after my birthday. I started hearing things. I thought I was being crazy but turns out that was my connection with my soulmate. I could hear his thoughts and he could hear mine. At first I was freaked out because he’d been able to hear me way before I could him, but then we started to warm up to each other. We didn’t share names, only nicknames, just to be safe. I knew a few things about him like how he worked in the music industry or that he lived with several of his friends in Korea. He knew I lived in New York with my best friend and that I was still in college but that’s all we shared.”
Allie looked at her friend confused, “Wait, so how do you know it’s Changbin?”
“When I got to him in the line, the first thing he said was ‘Mac’” Mackenzie announced, still in shock from it all.
“Mac?”
“He called me Mac and I called him Bin. That’s how we knew.”
“Holy shit” Allie leaned back in her seat, also in shock before smirking, “I fucking called it.”
“What?” Mackenzie stared at her friend dumbfounded.
“You said you had a weird feeling about something happening today and I said, as a joke, that one of them would fall in love with you and now look” Allie grinned excitedly.
“I---”
“Hold up. Are you going to meet him?” Allie wondered.
“If it’s actually him, he’ll be here soon.”
“He’s coming here? To the cafe?”
“Yes.” Allie squealed quietly, excited for her friend. “After you start dating, introduce me to Jisung.” Mackenzie smacked the girl’s hand playfully as she laughed.
“Take the car and meet me back at the apartment. I’ll find a ride home” Mackenzie stated, handing Allie the car keys.
“I can wait for you” Allie offered.
“No don’t. There’s no telling how long this will take. I’ll call you after” Mackenzie promises, pushing Allie out of the booth.
“Be careful” Allie told her as she exited the cafe. Mackenzie remained in the booth, alone with her thoughts as she waited for any sign of the boy’s arrival. Maybe he wasn’t coming. Maybe he’d forgotten. Maybe this was all some sick trick that her mind was playing on her. So much had happened in the past hour, she felt overwhelmed. Laying her head against the window, she watched as people walked by. So consumed in her thoughts, she didn’t notice the person slip into the booth in front of her. After a few moments, Mackenzie sighed to herself before turning her head forward, jumping in her seat.
“Holy shit you scared me” Mackenzie gasped, earning a laugh from the boy in front of her.
“Sorry” he laughed. Both of them stared at one another, waiting for the other to speak.
Is it really you? Mackenzie thought, watching the boy closely.
Changbin removed the mask from his face, before nodding his head, “It’s really me.”
Tears welled up in Mackenzie’s eyes as Changbin hesitantly reached for her hands, holding them in his own.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you” he apologized, all the guilt weighing down on him, “I just didn’t know how you’d react.”
“No it’s okay, I understand” Mackenzie nodded her head. Then it dawned on her.
“Oh my GOD I talked about you TO you!” Mackenzie wailed in embarrassment, throwing her head into her hands.
“I thought it was cute” Changbin smiled at her. Mackenzie lifted her head, giving him an ‘are you kidding me’ look.
“Cute? I probably sounded so stupid” Mackenzie whined.
“No you didn’t. I appreciate everything you said about me” Changbin mentioned, “The way you said you admired me for my dedication for music and the way you always helped me when I felt stressed. I got to know the real you, not just the side of you who’s a fan of Stray Kids.”
“I knew I picked you as my favorite for a reason” Mackenzie grinned making Changbin laugh. A comfortable silence washed over them as they gazed at one another.
“Bin?” Mackenzie whispered.
“Yes?” 
“What does this mean now?” Mackenzie wondered. She’d waited her whole life to find the one she was destined to be with. And now that she’d found him, she wasn’t sure what would happen next considering her soulmate was a member of one of the biggest boy bands in South Korea.
“I’m not gonna let you go” Changbin mentioned as Mackenzie gave him a confused look. “Just because I’m in front of you doesn’t mean I can’t still hear your mind.”
“You’re an idol Bin. How is this going to work?” Mackenzie worried. Changbin grabbed ahold of her hands tightly.
“It’s going to be hard but we can do this. You just have to trust me… do you trust me?” he asked her. Mackenzie held his stare for a brief moment before nodding her head.
“I trust you.”
“Good” Changbin smiled brightly, “How do you feel about moving to Korea after you graduate?”
“And live with you?”
“I don’t see why not” Changbin answered. Mackenzie felt the familiar feeling in her stomach return as the butterflies erupted in her stomach.
“On one condition” she bargained. Changbin quirked a brow at her, waiting for her to continue.
“Allie comes too.”
“She was the one Jisung winked at, right?”
“How did you--”
“You were thinking about it” Changbin replied immediately. “Considering Jisung wouldn’t shut up about her, I don’t think either of them would have a problem with it.”
“Wait” Mackenzie realized something, “Do the others know about me?”
“Of course. They were the ones who helped me figure out why I was hearing voices in my head that didn’t belong to me.”
“Lucky you. I thought I was getting robbed the first time I heard you” Mackenzie shuddered at the memory.
“I know” Changbin snickered, causing the girl in hit his arm. “So” he began.
“So” Mackenzie repeated him.
“Do you want to meet the guys?” he asked.
“You do know I just met them less than two hours ago, right?” she giggled.
“Yeah but they didn’t get to meet you as the girl who’s also my soulmate.”
“It’s so weird hearing you say that” Mackenzie commented.
“Why’s it weird?” Changbin wondered.
“Because you’re you” Mackenzie announced as if it was the most obvious thing. Changbin just laughed in response.
“So do you want to meet them?” he asked once more. Mackenzie just nodded in response, watching as he rose from the seat in front of her before extending a hand her way. She grabbed ahold of his hand as he helped her from the seat. She followed behind the boy as they exited the cafe. Waiting to cross the street, Mackenzie could sense the nervousness radiating from the boy as he turned to face her.
“Can I ask you something?” Changbin gazed into her eyes as the girl nodded.
“Can I kiss you?” His question made her freeze in shock. She remained silent as Changbin began to panic, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have--”
“Yes” Mackenzie interrupted the boy, taking one step closer to him. Placing his hands on either side of her face, Changbin gave the girl one last moment to back out, but seeing as she only moved closer, he took that as his chance. Gently placing his lips upon her own, the kiss could only be described in the way they do in movies. It was like a spark was ignited the moment their lips connected. In that moment, everything felt right. Changbin knew she’d felt it too as she smiled against his lips. Shortly after, the two parted as they tried to catch their breaths.
“I’ve wanted to do that the moment I laid my eyes on you” Changbin confessed. It’d only lasted for a few seconds and yet she was already addicted. Already craving for more. 
“Do it again, the boys can wait a little longer” Mackenzie encouraged, making Changbin smile as he leaned in again.
Or maybe they can wait until tomorrow.

Current Time : 11:00 pm ---> 11:00 am
I Woke up to the sound of my phone ringing
I Answer it
Then I heard the voice of my sunshine
"Tsumu did I wake ya up ?"
I Stiffle a Yawn and Rub my eyes
"Kinda but ya know I don't mind If it's you,Shoyou-kun"
I imagined Shoyou smiling from the otherside of the phone
"You're being flirty in the middle of the night Tsumu, but I called cause I have a great news for you"
Shoyou couldn't hide the excitement in his voice
"What is your news Sho-kun"
Then I heard him laughed
Oh I miss him so much I thought
"Can you open your camera so I can see your reaction on what I'm about to say"
I open the lights and sit myself up
Then I open my camera
Then I saw is a tanned man with orange hair
Smiling at me
His hazel eyes have the same longing look as mine
Wind brushes his hair
He must me sitting on his apartment balcony
"Hi Tsumu" and then he smiled at me
"Hello Shoyou"
We stare at each other for a long time
And then we both laughed
The sound of our laughter filled the room
"So Sho-kun what is the thing that you wanted to say to me " I asked him

Finally Shoyo is coming back to japan
He is finally coming home to me after a year of him being in Brazil
This dull apartment will be filled with his light again
The sun will finally rise again after a long night
"Tsumu are you all right?"
He was waving his hand in front of the camera
Then I smiled a smile that reach the corner of my eyes
"Sho I'm so happy I don't know what to say I'm so surprise, wanna give you a hug so tight right now"
If only I could do it I thought
"Hehe Tsumu do it when I came home, Will you not ask when I'll go back"
I was confused at first but I asked anyway
"When are you coming home Sho-kun"
Sho-kun gigled and he sudden rotate his camera to show me his Luggage and bags
Luggage
Bags
NO WAY
"Eh You're coming home today ?" I shouted
"Surprise Tsumu, Actually its Tomorrow and My flight is at 3am."
I couldn't process evrything I'm still in the state of shock
"So I'll arrive on March 7 at 2pm , Tsumu you better pick me up at the airport"
I regain my composure
"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world"
We both smiled and can hide our excitement to see each other

I went started my day

Eating Breakfast
When I check again the time It's only 9:00 am
5 more hours I keep chanting
I couldn't sit still
Then an Idea came to my mind
I look for a Cardboard and I try to write something in it
When I'm done with it

1 more hour and His plane will land
I was holding a white Card Board with words written on it is
" ���り���日�翔陽"
(Welcome Back Hinata Shoyou)
He'll be here in a few minutes I keep chanting in my head as I walk back and fourth
March 7, 202x
Current Distance: 237 km
Hyogo, Japan ( Airport )
Current Time : 2:00 pm
He's already here
His plane just landed
I was walking near the arrival area to look for Sho
For a Tanned man with orange hair
A man with a brightest smike
The love of my life
Thirty Minutes passed and I saw the glimpse of his Orange Hair
My heart skipped a beat
I kept grinning like crazy
I held the cardboard up high for him to see
When he looks my way
He gave me a beaming smile
He run towards me
And he jump at me
And I catched him and the board fell to the ground
We look at each other niether one of us wants to looking away
That expresses all the longing and love we feel for each other
His hands starts playing my platinum blonde hair
We stay in each other's embrace
His arms atvthe back of neck and his legs crossed on my waist
My hands on his back
He suddenly close the distance of our face until our lips meet in a passionate kiss
We pull away from each other breathless
"I miss you so much tsumu" he said as our nose touch
"Me too Sho I miss ya so much"
March 7, 202x
Current Distance: 0.00 km
Hyogo, Japan ( Airport ) -- Hinata Shoyo in Atsumu Miya's arms
Current Time : 3:30 pm
We were walking hands intertwined
As we head out the airport
I tightened the grip on his hand
"You know Shoyou sometimes I don't mind that we're oceans apart you know why?"
I look at him
There is a confuse look on his face
"So you really don't miss me that much Tsumu"
And he pouted at me
"Of course I miss you Shou , It's just that I feel even though were miles apart You'll always come home to me"
I'm kinda embarassed that I said thag so I looked away
"Cause I'll always come home to you Tsumu eventhough it may take months and years I'll always always come home to you"
I look back at him and saw the man that I fell in love since I was in highschool
We smiled at each other understanding all the unsaid words between us

survey by lets-make-surveys
1 - What’s your average grocery bill for the week? How many people/animals does that have to feed? Could you cut it down if you had to? Around P10,000 every 1-2 weeks, which feeds five adults and two animals. I think it can definitely be cut down, considering a chunk of that bill comes from snacks or other fancy ingredients/condiments that we could technically do without.
2 - When was the last time you were woken up in the middle of the night? Two days ago, from the typhoon’s winds. It’s a good thing I woke up because my windows had been open through the night and they could’ve smashed against the pane and into a million pieces if the wind proceeded to push them.
3 - Have you done anything out of the ordinary so far today? I charged my phone through my dad’s car twice so I can stay aligned with what was going on at work today. I ended up having to file for an emergency leave (...four days into my role, how embarrassing) because the electricity didn’t come back until 4 PM today and because I was also unable to leave home to work in a coffee shop or mall with my village still submerged in flood for all of today – which meant I wouldn’t have been able to keep up with my tasks and meetings. It was so irritating to miss out on things and I felt really guilty for having to be absent less than a week into my new job. UGH. Better days, plz.
4 - How long is it until your birthday? Five months and a week exactly.
5 - Do you have a lot of debt? How long do you think it’ll take you to pay it all off? No debt.
6 - When was the last time you had to take time off work or school to attend an appointment? Last Thursday and Friday. I got my job offer last Wednesday and was expected to submit a mountain of requirements and government IDs before reporting for my first day this Monday, so I had no choice but to devote the whole of Thurs and Fri to completing those reqs.
7 - Do you get paid if you’re off sick from work? Do you think the number of sick days would change if you did or didn’t get paid? No. Not yet, at least.
8 - What colour was the last animal you saw? White with black eyes, nose, and pawprints.
9 - When’s your next payday? Do you have anything you need to buy when you get paid? Around a week and a half from now. I have to start buying Christmas presents, for sure.
10 - What kind of face mask do you prefer to use - re-usable or disposable? I don’t really have a preference but because my mom buys boxes of the disposable kind, it’s what I use.
11 - If someone told you five years ago, that you’d be living through a global pandemic, do you think you’d believe them? Absolutely the fuck not lmao. We were all so excited about 2020 and it being a new decade, and people even made a shit ton of memes about “20/20 vision” for years - there was no way anyone could’ve predicted a global pandemic, at least one of this scale.
12 - Is your state or country under any form of lockdown or “stay at home” order at the moment? Are you following the “rules” of that? People under the age of 21 are still prohibited from going out, as far as I know. But generally, the rules are a lot more loose now compared to the last few months. Everyone’s still required to wear face masks and face shields and practice social distancing while all public places have temperature checks, floor mats, and alcohol/hand sanitizers, of course; but it’s no longer out of the ordinary to hear of people going to the mall again or even dining out at restaurants. I follow the rules, because it’s really not too hard to keep myself and thus other people safe.
13 - What flavour were the last potato chips you ate? Sour cream and onion, but I didn’t like them. My parents got me salted egg flavored chips today though and I’m excited to open them :)
14 - If you have pets, do you let them sleep in or on your bed with you? Kimi never liked the bed, so he’s always slept under mine instead of beside me. Cooper’s a big ball of energy incapable of settling on a bed, and he needs to be in his crate to let him know it’s bedtime.
15 - Would you rather watch a sitcom, a reality show, or a documentary? I love all of these and I’m always open to watching any of them as long as I’m in the right mood for them. I don’t have a favorite and some days I’ll just be in a documentary mood, some days a reality TV mood, and other days a sitcom kind of mood.
16 - Do you have a favourite celebrity chef? Gordon Ramsay 100%. He’s entertaining across the board; his Hot Ones interview is my favorite, haha.
17 - When was the last time you did a load of laundry? Not in charge of that chore.
18 - Do you have anything interesting planned for tomorrow? What day is it tomorrow, anyway? Nah. I think I’ll have to do work tomorrow considering I had to go on leave today, which is okay. It’s nice to be busy on a weekend for once. Tomorrow is Saturday.
19 - Have you ever been in therapy or counselling? Did you find it useful? No but I’ve been considering it for a while, especially after the events of September lol. I do believe it will be useful and plenty helpful, yes, that’s why I’m finally warming up to the idea.
20 - What was the last film you watched? Is it one of your favourites? I didn’t finish it but I watched the first 20 minutes of a local movie called That Thing Called Tadhana. I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorites, but it’s definitely a significant movie for me.
21 - Would you say you're an organised person? In what ways are you organised or disorganised? Eh, I’m right in the middle. I’m organized at work but I’m not super strict with myself when it comes to my personal space. Like if I’m able to keep my room organized it’s great, but if I’m unable to maintain it it’s not the end of the world. At work I like keeping my things color-coordinated and filed neatly in different folders or spreadsheets; at home I always seem to know where everything is, no matter how messy my space has gotten.
22 - Would you rather read a fantasy novel or an auto-biography? Autobiography, for sure.
23 - When was the last time someone paid for something for you? My parents bought groceries today.
24 - Do you have an open fire? If not, would you like one? I don’t know what this is. Is this a fireplace? Because if it is, we have no use for that here.
25 - What do you do with your old technology once you upgrade or get something new? Keep it around for emergencies, or hand it down to a sibling.
26 - If you were given the choice, would you solve a problem by speaking to someone on the phone, in person or via e-mail? Depends on who they are, tbh. The closer I am to someone, the more likely I am to take a more personal approach in handling an issue with them.
27 - Do you have an alarm set for tomorrow morning? What time do you need to get up? Nope, because it’s finally Saturday.
28 - What are you wearing at the moment? I’m wearing an old shirt from high school and a pair of shorts.
29 - Is there anyone else in the room with you? What are they doing right now? Just Kimi. Sleeping.
30 - Do people in real life know that you take surveys? If they don’t, is there a particular reason that you’ve never told them? Nah, there was never a reason to tell people...it just never comes up, really. Even if it ever does, it’d take too much explanation and I never feel like going through that, especially if they won’t be able to see what exactly I post anyway.

(( Ending what is probably going to be the last chapter of the year with Malkhai’s revelation to LaChance, that I think should not be too surprising at this point. I, or she rather, have been throwing out hints about it the whole time lol. I’ll be taking a long break so that I can focus on Christmastime stuff and enjoy the season with the fam. Thanks to all who are still reading and all of your encouraging feedback!! LOVE YOU! <3 ))             An invitation to Lucien's home struck me as being different than the prior times we had met privately. My heart drummed in my ears while my mind traveled in several different directions at once. Lost in an emotional and hormonal fog again, I realized too late that I had been staring at the note longer than I should have, and this piqued Farwil’s curiosity.
            “What is it?” he asked me.
            “Oh, it’s just my list for the market. Nothing really important,” I answered with a shrug. I folded the paper several ways and tucked it deep into one of my belt pockets. “I was debating about whether or not I wanted to bother with it tonight.”
            Farwil leaned forward with a hand stretched out. “Why don’t you give it to me and I’ll get everything you need while you stay here and relax,” he said.
            “That is very kind of you, Farwil. Thank you for offering, but I imagine the markets must be closed by now anyway. I’ll just take care of it tomorrow.”                         “Actually,” Gabrelle chimed in, “due to the festivities, the markets here in Sentinel won’t close until midnight! You’ve plenty of time yet to get all that you need.”
            “Oh-ho! Eh-heh… great!” I replied with faked enthusiasm and a forced smile, then wrapped an arm tightly around Ocheeva and said to everyone, “Hey, why don’t we all go out!”
            “Malkhai, when LaChance ‘suggests’ that we don’t stay up late, it’s usually his most polite way of ordering us to hit the pillows early. It’s already after ten o'clock— I’m not going out tonight, and you shouldn't either.”
            I permitted a loud, frustrated groan to bellow out as I dropped my head into my hands. “Yes… you’re right… I suppose I should follow his orders,” I growled through clenched teeth, tapping her on the arm and pointing to the pouch I put the note in. I kept the pointing hand out of Farwil’s sight, but where it was perfectly visible to Ocheeva. What a relief it was to see an understanding fill her face as she mouthed: “Oh!”
            “Then again,” Ocheeva said, “if he expects us to be here at 9:00 am, then going to bed at midnight is really not too late! I’ll go with you, Malkhai!”            “But it might be too late for her,” Farwil argued, then turned back to me. “I know he didn’t say anything about it, but he might want you to train with him at the usual time. Just give me the list and settle down for the night! That’s an order!”
            Panic wrapped around my chest and squeezed tight, but then I started to laugh in a slightly maniacal way as I remembered what he had said a while back in the Imperial City.
            “What’s so funny??” Farwil asked.
            “I recall you saying, and I quote: ‘This time, I promise you, I will do as the Lady commands.’ It wasn’t a written agreement, but everyone was there to hear that declaration.” I then addressed the rest of the group. “Isn’t that right?”            There were smiles and nods all around the circle as they confirmed that truth. Some of the Family members were understandably unsettled by this boldness— an angry Farwil could mean an angry Andel, and that would not sit well with the Listener. But the gamble was necessary.
            I focused on Farwil again and said to him, “You put me in command, which means you can’t order me around!”
            Farwil shrank back. “But… but I…”
            “A knight does not go back on his word, right?”
            “Um… right,” he huffed.
            “Good.” My whole being inflated with restored power and confidence. I stood up straight, with my head held high. “Oh-ho-ho! Why didn’t I remember this a long time ago when I could’ve—? Bah! Never mind!” I crossed my arms as I looked at Farwil sternly and continued, “I am going out with all who wish to browse the markets for necessities—and, perhaps, some stupid, shiny, pretty stuff that collect dust on shelves. You’ll cool your head and either join us, or sit here and sulk about—either way, you’ll not utter another word of protest!” I turned around and started marching towards the stairs, with half of the Family coming along—Teinaava, Ocheeva, and Antoinetta, and Vicente. I could’ve made it easier by ordering Farwil to stay at the guildhall while we went out, but it just wasn’t in me to abuse my authority and deny him the choice to join us. I had to show him that part of being a good leader is treating even your subordinate comrades like grown adults.
            “Aaaaagh-fine!” Farwil growled as he shot up with his arms raised in the air. He followed us as he grumbled some things under his breath. Naturally, Bremman was right behind him.
            “WAIT FOR ME, CHAMPION!!” Dorandil hollered as he bolted from his seat to catch up with us, “I’ll carry your things for you!”
            Oh great. Now there are two latchers that I have to shake off, I thought. I can’t tell him ‘no’ because that would be unfair. After all the work he’s done, without complaining once, he earned this treat.
            Out with another groaning sigh I replied, “Alright, kid… but only if you promise to get to your usual chores when we come back.”
            “Yes! Yes! Yes! I will! You know I will!” He cried, bouncing around and clapping like a wind-up toy.
            “It’ll probably mean you’ll be kept up most of the night. Are you sure?”                  “YES! YES!”
            “Alright then, come on!”
            Dorandil did another little happy circle-dance and followed us down the stairs.
            As we left through the doors, Ocheeva closed the gap between us and whispered, “I’m not going to ask you what your orders are, but I’ll do what I can to ensure that you follow them.”
            “Thank you, Sister,” I whispered back, putting an arm around her again and giving her an affectionate squeeze, and explained at a careful volume, “The Speaker instructed me to meet him alone at 11:30 pm. I’m going to just kill some time in the market until a quarter after. I know Farwil intends to stay on my heels the whole time, so I’ll need one of you to distract him so that he won’t follow me when the time comes for me to be where I need to be.”
            “Will do, Sis.” Ocheeva patted me on the back and looked out at the market. “Looks to me like the streets are still crowded and busy, so that shouldn’t be too hard.”

Broken Promises Pt. 3
Tumblr media
I hope this part is good, I worked pretty hard on it. Let me know what you think!
Warnings: some swear words, mentions of a panic attack.
Shawn has gone back to the studio, but making sure he’s going after he’s dropped Stella off at school and back in time for dinner every night. Your relationship has become better, actually using words instead of icy glares. And Spencer...well he’s just a happy baby boy. 
~6 1/2 weeks later~
“Do you need anything? I’m heading to the store, I’ve got a list started.” Shawn says as he comes into your shared bedroom. Spencer laying on your chest as you feed him, the baby fighting his nap.
Blanket tucked around him while he tries to play peekaboo with you, even as you adjust the blanket again. Looking down at him with a slightly stern expression, letting him know that now is not play time.
 “Mm I think I need tampons.” You respond, he nods a bit and goes to the bathroom. Opening the cupboard and seeing the unopened box. Furrowing his eyebrows he grabs the box while trying to remember when you had last complained of cramps.
 “Honey...when did you buy these?” Shawn asks coming out with the box, you look up. Eyebrows scrunching in confusion as you look at the small box in his hands. 
 “Uh...a month and a half ago.” You mumble, sharing a look with your fiancé. A slight sense of panic arising in your chest as you think of all of the possibilities.
 “I’ll be back.” He tells you, heading out of the door without another word. While your brain is left to catch up with what he’s said and his actions.
“Well buddy...your daddy is gonna lose his mind...again.” You say softly, your son kicking his legs slightly. Gently touching his cheek which results in him pushing closer to you. 
Eyes fighting to stay open, you adjust his body a little more snuggly against your chest. Kissing his forehead gently, you sigh softly and look at your phone. Smiling as you see the picture of Shawn, yourself and the kids on the beach. 
~20 minutes later~ 
“Okay, I’m back. I got two different kinds.” Shawn says carrying the pharmacy bag in his hands. Cheeks slightly rosy like he ran all the way there and back, what with as much energy as he seemed to have, you wouldn’t be surprised if he had.
 “Well...I don’t think I can generate that much pee, but sure let me try.” You respond with a slight sass to your tone, he rolls his eyes slightly and sits on the bed next to the sleeping 10 1/2 month old. 
Resting his hand on his belly and feeling his chest rise and fall. Sighing softly as you stand in the bathroom opening the boxes. Pulling out all four tests and staring at them, feeling your heart do a stutter.
 “Baby? Are you okay?” Shawn asks after almost 15 minutes of you being locked away. Looking down at your son and biting his lip before sliding pillows around his body to keep him from rolling off of the couch.
 “I uh...yea I’m good.” You respond, he slowly opens the door to see you standing by the sink. Adjusting your leggings and running a hand through your hair. He sits on the side of the tub, gently pulling you to sit on his thigh. 
“What are you thinking about?” Shawn murmurs, resting his chin on your shoulder. His slight scruff that he deems a beard rubbing against the delicate skin of your neck.
“How young Spencer is...how he won’t really get to be a baby...” You say honestly, he wraps his arm around your waist tighter. His body seeming to nuzzle farther into yours. 
“Sweetheart...he’s still gonna be a baby. He’s gonna be one in a month and a half. It’ll be okay.” 
“Shawn...you go on tour again in 7 weeks. And this tour is lasting for almost 8 months with only 3 actual breaks. I would have the baby while you’re on tour.” You state, a soft frown on your face. He smooths his thumb between your eyebrows, rubbing gently.
“It’ll be okay honey.” You pull his watch up to check the time. Both of you standing up, picking up all four tests to flip them at the same time. Turning the sticks over you see either one line or a negative symbol. Your heart skipping beats as you try to focus your vision on the little window on them all.
Letting out a quiet breath you rest your palms on the marble of the counter top. Stomach slowly unknotting itself while you breathe a little easier. Shawn stares at the tests, a sinking feeling of disappointment in his stomach. You turn to look at the tall curly haired boy, seeing the look on his face
“Shawn...you can’t be telling me you want another baby already...” You say, suddenly feeling trapped by his arms and body. He doesn’t say anything, before pushing away from you slightly. Trying not to be offended by his sudden need to put space between you two.
 “I’m um I’m gonna head to the studio for a bit...I’ll be back later.” He murmurs, dropping a kiss to your forehead before walking out of the room and doing the same to Spencer’s.
 “I...Shawn what are you?” You rush to get out, following him to the door. You look back at your sleeping boy, then at the retreating form of your lover. Once again your brain trying to catch up with all of the activity. 
“Goddammit.” You whisper to yourself, picking up your phone and sending Haley a text. Asking her to pick up your little munchkin from school at 12:30. Sitting back by the sleeping boy on your bed, you feel your heart sinking.
 ~2:30 pm~ 
“So he just left?” Haley asks as she looks at you from across the table. Both of the kids down for a nap, the baby monitor sitting next to you. Crackling every now and then as one of the kids move in the living room.
 “Yea I don’t know what his problem was...it’s like he wanted me to be pregnant again. He knows that wouldn’t be good right now, I mean for God’s sake our youngest isn’t even a year yet.” You groan, burying your head in your hands. Mussing up your glasses and for sure smudging your mascara.
 “Well I mean...maybe he’s going through some shit. You said yourself he’s been amazing the past few months. Maybe there is something eating away at him, I’m sure he’ll come talk to you. He usually does.” The blonde reasons as she looks at you worriedly. 
“This is why you’re my best friend.” You say, looking up at the blonde. She smiles widely at you, before taking a serious face.
“Bitch...we’re sisters by now.” Haley states causing both of you to laugh quietly. While you nod in agreement with her statement, thinking of all of the things you’ve done in your 8 years of friendship. 
“Mama? Can I have a drink? I’m thirsty.” Stella murmurs as she comes into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes cutely. You smile and stand from the table, heading for the cabinet. Grabbing her small camelback, filling it with some ice and water. You sit back down across from Haley, accepting your oldest into your lap. 
“Is daddy comin home soon?” She asks sleepily, you bite on your lower lip. Heartache starting to fill your chest again, not wanting to upset the little girl.
“I’m sure he’ll be home in time for dinner.” You tell her, she nods a bit and yawns again. Curling her body into yours more, her bunny tucked under her arm. You rest your chin on her head and sigh softly, looking across and seeing your best friend. A slightly sad smile on her face while she looks at you both. 
~11:45 pm~ 
You jump slightly as keys get tossed onto the small table by the front door. The door being caught before it can slam shut, instead gently being clicked and locked. Rousing from your spot on the couch, yawning quietly you look up to see your fiancé. 
“Do you not want more kids with me?” He asks in a soft voice, sounding dejected and hurt. Eyes slightly red rimmed, and cheeks a light pink color like he’s been crying off and on. 
“Come sit?” He takes the cushion next to yours, not looking up to meet your soft gaze. Not trusting himself to not start crying again or worse not letting you talk the way you always let him.
 “Of course I want more kids with you S, I just don’t know if now is the right time. I mean think about it eh? Spencer is only going to be turning 1 in a few short weeks here. And tour is gonna start.”
“Don’t use my tour as an excuse, because we’ve made it work with both Stella and Spencer.” Shawn interrupts looking at you with anger bubbling up in his honey eyes. You sigh softly, biting down on your bottom lip. Mulling over your words carefully, trying not to sound cold hearted. 
 “I don’t want anymore kids until Spencer is at least 2...maybe even 3. It’s hard on me Shawn, to chase after them both when you’re gone. It’s hard because I know how much you hate being away from them...could you imagine if there were four of us you’d have to leave? It would kill you...and maybe I’m being selfish. But it’s my body and I decide what happens with it.” You tell him softly, he looks away from you and takes a deep breath. You stare down at your hands, sucking on your cheek.
Shawn sits and ponders your words for a second, letting them sink in while he thinks of his own sentences and feelings. Feeling his chest tighten slightly as more emotion comes and hits him.
“I was so excited about the thought of you being pregnant again...but then those negative tests showed and it reminded me of trying with Spencer. I’m scared that we’ll never be able to have more kids and I know you want a house full of them. I want to give that to you but what if I can’t?” Shawn whispers, tears collecting in the corners of his eyes. You scoot closer to him, taking his face in your hands.
“If we only have our two perfect babies then what bad could that be? It’s okay...I don’t blame you at all. It’s okay honey.” You say before he breaks down, tears staining his face now. Arms wrapping around you tightly and tugging you as close as he can. You ‘shh’ him softly, kissing his curls and squeezing around his shoulders. 
“I love you...love you so much.” Shawn murmurs, hiccuping quietly and nuzzling into your throat. You smile softly and run a hand through his hair gently. Feeling him press closer to you, like he wants to be under your skin.
“I love you too S.” He sniffles quietly and takes a deep shuddering breath. His breath catching in his throat as he looks at the custom watch you and the kids bought him for his birthday last year. 
“Oh fuck...I missed dinner.” He says pulling away from you with wide, worried eyes. Heart cracking as he pictures Stella’s upset glare, and your frazzled state of anger.
“It’s okay, we had pizza with Hales and then read a chapter from Harry Potter. They’ve been in bed for awhile now.” You tell him, he looks at you before leaning in and kissing you. 
“I don’t know what I did to deserve you...but I am so fucking lucky.” He whispers before kissing you again softly. Both of you rising from the couch, heading for the stairs.
“I’ll meet you in there honey.” Shawn murmurs, squeezing your hip gently. Before walking down the hallway, stopping at his daughter’s room. Smiling softly as he sees her sprawled across the purple sheets. 
Mouth slightly ajar and letting out the smallest of snores. He tucks the blanket around her a little tighter, tucking her bunny under her arm. He kisses her forehead softly, and brushes her curls back.
“I love you my little bunny.” Shawn whispers, before going to leave the room. He heads down the hall for his son’s room, biting his lip. Looking at the pictures of your small family lining the walls.
He smiles as Spencer lays in his crib, pacifier stuck in his mouth and blanket gripped in his hand tightly. The father steps over to press his lips to his cheek. Taking in his Aveeno baby wash, smiling at the memory of you insisting that that be the only baby wash you ever use because you had read an article about the others.  
“I love you bubba.” He murmurs, before standing tall and smiling down at the little boy. Spencer letting out a quiet sound as he stretches and turns his face towards his father.
Shawn slowly leaves his room, going farther down the hall for your shared room. Stopping outside of the doorway and seeing you already crawled into bed. Hair in a messy pony tail, blankets pulled up to your rib cage.
“Are you asleep yet?” He whispers as he crawls into bed, dressed in his pajamas. Teeth brushed and curls fresh of their normal paste. His body slightly chilled from not being under the covers with you for so long.
“Mm what’s wrong?” You ask sleepily, blinking your eyes open slightly. Turning your head towards him more, your body slowly following.
“I love you...thank you for giving me a beautiful family.” He leans down and kisses your lips gently, nuzzling closer to you. Breathing in your familiar pineapple body wash, something he always misses when he’s away.
“I love you too bubs, and you helped make them. So thank you too.” You respond, stretching your legs slightly. Before Shawn moves to his back, tugging you into his side. Your knee coming up onto his thigh, arm slinging across his stomach. 
“G’night sweetheart.” 
“G’night honey.” 
~Spencer’s party~ 
“Where are gifts going?” Brian asks as he comes into the kitchen. A medium sized bag with Paw Patrol on it, blue and green tissue paper sticking out of the top.
“There’s a table out there...or there should be.” You respond, finishing filling the tray of fresh fruits. Moving the watermelon over to fit more strawberries and blackberries on it. 
 “Oh yea, I see them now. Need help?” He asks you, slinging the bag around his arm. You look up to meet the ginger’s kind gaze, smiling at him softly.
 “Can you grab the mini plates and silverware?” You ask nodding at the stacks of said items. He nods grabbing both before shrugging the door open for you. Following you out into the expanse of your back yard.
“He’s gotten so big!” Aaliyah cries as she holds Spencer, the baby smiling at people passing by. The birthday boy bouncing on her legs happily while chewing on a teething ring.
“That’s what happens when you feed them.” Shawn says with a slight sass in his tone as he brings more chairs out. Making a sweet face at his little boy that earns him a happy squeal.
“Oh shut it. I’m excited to see my nephew.” She retorts, kissing Spencer’s cheek and making him giggle. You smile as you set the tray down, looking around at the kids running and playing. 
Stella giggling as Geoff runs around with her, lifting her above his head. Spencer squeals excitedly when he sees you, making grabby hands. You gently lift him up, brushing some grass from his pants. 
“When am I getting another niece? I feel like we’re out numbered here.” Aaliyah says as she stands up, brushing her own pants off. Standing close to you as she pulls off the baby’s sock for him. The other one in Shawn’s pocket already, as Spencer had kicked it off earlier.
“Uh well.”
“Not for awhile.” Shawn interrupts you, before turning to help Ian bring out another table.
“What the fuck is his problem?” The teenager mutters, scowling at her older brother. Arms crossing over her chest as she does the signature Aaliyah annoyed look as you had dubbed it.
“First of all, language, just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean I approve. And second I have no clue.” You murmur the ending, looking over at the tall boy. Confusion filling your chest, before feeling your son tug at your necklace filled with all three of their birthstones. 
You gently take it from his slobbery grasp, not missing the disgusted look from your soon to be sister-in-law. Smiling at her sweetly you gently hand Spencer a mini soccer ball to play with instead. 
“Grandparents are here!” Manny calls as he and Karen come out, a few gift bags in their hands. Wide smiles on their faces as they survey the festivities getting ready to take place.
“Vovô!” Stella calls excitedly as she sees Manny, squirming from Geoff’s hold to run for him. Brown curls blowing in the wind that she is causing as she runs as fast as her little legs will carry her.
“Hi bunny! Look at you!” He says catching her and smiling at her choice of a fairy costume. Karen dropping a kiss to her head and smiling at her first born grandchild. Before making her way over to you and Aaliyah.
“Hi honey.” Karen says smiling as she hugs you, before hugging her daughter. Looking around at the familiar faces in the yard, smiling at some of Shawn’s friends, before Spencer lets out a squeal at the lack of attention.
“Oh you’re such a big man aren’t you?” She coos at Spencer, he giggles and reaches for her. You hand him off before heading after your fiancé as he disappears into the kitchen. 
“Shawn? Will you wait up?” You ask huffing quietly as you try to catch up with him. The boy seeming to use his long muscular legs to his advantage, something you usually admire now an enemy.
“I’m just grabbing more drinks for the cooler.” He replies turning to look down at you, you tuck your hair behind you ear. You take a deep breath, playing with the ends of your hair gently. 
“You kind of snapped at Liyah...don’t you think? She was just asking a question.”
 “Well it’s none of her business.” You sigh softly and look at him with a scowl on your lips. Anger bubbling in your chest momentarily, wanting nothing more than to tell him off. 
“Stop being an asshole, she doesn’t know and yes she doesn’t need to know. But she doesn’t deserve to be treated like that by you.” You tell him before turning to walk to the counter. Picking up a bowl of cookie dip and graham crackers. 
Shawn groans softly as he watches you step through the sliding door. Grabbing some wine coolers and beers, slipping a box of juice pouches under his arm. Following you out the door, sliding it close with his foot, watching you make your way across the yard.
“I think everyone is almost here.” Haley says as she helps you rearrange presents. Your bodies hip to hip and arm to arm, both of you agreeing that boxes should go on the ground.
“Just waiting on my parents and Brian and Matt to come back from the store.” You respond nodding your head, looking over at the kids running around your yard. Bubbles flying and different sets of giggles being heard from afar.
Catching sight of Shawn holding Spencer, the baby playing with his chain. Slobbering on it, his father seeming to be none the wiser as he talks with his mother. The baby looking content with the cool metal against his gums.
“Papa!” Stella calls, seeing your parents coming through the sliding glass doors. Running across the yard yet again for her next set of grandparents, a wide toothy grin on her face.
“Hi princess!” Hank says smiling as he lifts her onto his hip. Balancing the gift box under his other arm. Your mother coming towards you with the cake.
 “Hi mama, oh my god it’s perfect.” You say smiling widely as you see the two cakes. The smaller ‘smash cake’ having dinosaurs designed in frosting on it and the bigger filled with toy dinosaurs for each child.
“I thought so too, hi big boy.” She says smiling as Shawn comes over with Spencer. The baby kicking his legs as he looks around at all of the people bumbling about in his backyard.
“Hi mama Nora.” Shawn murmurs, smiling softly at the cake. The baby in his arms squealing excitedly. You look over as Brian and Matt come back, bags of ice in their hands as they head for the coolers.
 “Well everyone is here now...lets get this show on the road.” You say clapping your hands, heading over to the bigger group. Helping your mom with the cakes, Haley and her deep in conversation about the blonde’s new business.
~few hours later~ 
“Well I think it’s safe to say he likes it.” Haley laughs as she films Spencer smashing his cake even more. Frosting covering his face and hands, some dropping onto his chest.
“At least he didn’t cry like Stella.” Geoff says chuckling as he looks at the little girl in her Vovô’s lap. Rambling on about her newest adventure at her preschool, while he nods enthusiastically.
“Hey she was scared, everyone was staring at her.” You defend, gently scooping some of Spencer’s cake into his mouth. Letting him suck it off of your finger, holding in your grimace and replacing it with a  smile instead.
“She wasn’t born with the star gene like Shawn was.” Brian sighs dramatically, making the adults laugh softly. Your boyfriend smiling at his friend before looking down the table as his daughter.
“Speaking of, Shawn when do you leave again?” Nora asks as she looks down the table at the curly haired man sitting on the other side of Spencer. His body tenses slightly, while wiping his suddenly sweating hands on his jeans. 
“Uh next Wednesday is my last full day at home.” He murmurs, you keep your face neutral the best you can while feeding your son. Trying to ignore the tugging feeling at your heart strings.
“How long are you gone? Are you gonna be back for Y/N’s birthday?” Hank questions looking at him. Looking over questioningly, a slight protective streak coming up in your father.
“I uh...I come back a few weeks after.” 
“And he’s taking us away for the week he’s home.” You say with a hint of finality to your voice, giving your parents a pointed look. Both of them sending you apologetic looks as they realize how their ‘grilling’ questions must have come across.
“I’m gonna grab more napkins.” Shawn mutters getting up to go to the kitchen. Karen sets her fork down and gets up to follow him. His head hanging low as he disappears into the house.
“Sweetheart? Oh honey what’s wrong?” The mother asks as she finds her son leaning against the wall of the living room. Head tipped back slightly, mouth open as he tries to catch his breath.
“I I can’t breathe.” He gets out, she gently leads him to the couch. Holding him against her chest, kissing his head softly. Trying to console her son as best as she can, nothing having dealt with this as much as you have.
“Breathe with me sweetheart, it’s okay.” She tells him, he blinks tears away, trying to focus on her rising and falling chest. Karen rubs his back gently, kissing his hair softly. 
“What’s wrong? Talk to me, you’ve been off all day. You should be happy, it’s a happy day. You survived another year with a new baby.” She says the ending jokingly, hoping to get a smile on his usually bright face.
“I I don’t know. It feels harder to leave them than it has in the past. I feel like I’m deserting them and leaving Y/N all alone.” He says in a barley there voice, staring at your hard wood floor. Rubbing the toe of his Chelsea boot against it slightly.
“Have you talked to her about this? I’m sure she’d love to know what’s going through that big brain of yours.” He shakes his head a bit and groans into his hands. Resting his elbows on his knees and taking another deep breath.
“She’s already mad at me. I snapped at Aaliyah earlier and I’ve been a dick all day.” He mutters, Karen pinches his ear slightly. Making his head pull towards her more.
“Ow! Mom!” Shawn whines holding the side of his head, pressing his ear against it. She sits back away from him, a scowl on her lips. Arms crossing over her chest, much like her daughter’s had earlier that afternoon.
“You plan on marrying her yeah? Then you need to open up and tell her about your issues, things don’t get resolved when you’re both fighting your own battles Shawn. You know that, you two are a team. And even if you’re across the world she knows she can call you and vent. Even if you can’t be there to help her, she knows you’re still there to listen. And she does the same thing for you, it’s hard on her too for you to leave. But she knows how much you love your fans and performing for them. You two have been through so much already, do not blow it because you’re clamping that big mouth shut.” She says to him, he laughs softly and smiles at her. 
“I love you mom.” He murmurs, hugging her tightly and accepting a kiss to his forehead. Feeling her shake her head slightly at his antics, before she squeezes him tighter.
“I love you too you crazy child of mine.” She responds, sighing softly and hugging him back. They both make their way back out to the party, Shawn taking his seat across from you. 
Your eyes looking up to his, worrying behind the soft orbs that he has fallen in love with more and more over the years. He picks up his fork, spearing a piece of his green frosted cake.
He slides his boot covered foot over and gently touches yours, smiling at you shyly. You smile back at him, hooking your ankle around his. People talking and kids giggling around you, none of that seeming to faze either of you. 
Your minds trapped in the world you’ve had since you were 19. ‘I love you.’ Shawn mouths at you, biting his lower lip. ‘I love you too.’ You mouth back, rubbing your foot against the side of his leg gently.

It’s a small world after all...
Good morning!
As predicted, I didn’t get to update my blog yesterday anymore, because  it did indeed get a little late, haha. Thankfully it was for good reason: yesterday was Disney day!
I just finished trying to stuff all my souvenirs into my bags to see if it all fits, so I’ll give you yesterday’s report without further ado. Today’s report will follow later, as will yesterday’s photos. There’s a lot to sort through ;)
We got up early to get the 8:30 AM train to Tokyo station, from where we took the Keiyo or Musashino line down for Maihama, the closest station to the Disney Resort. However, the Keiyo had a delay of about half an hour (!), so when we got there, the train that was supposed to leave 25 minutes ago just entered the station. Lucky for us, and not entirely unsurprisingly, it was a rather full train, haha.
Fifteen minutes later we hit Maihama station, and off we went for Disneyland!
My friend really likes roller coasters, so we first went to Splash Mountain to get her a Fast Pass. The park had barely been open for an hour and a half, and the fastpasses were already at the return time of 5 PM, whoa. We secured her one and then moved over to It’s a Small World, which had a queue of 45 minutes. That sounds rather ridiculous for It’s a Small World, but it’s been closed for over 8 months for rigorous restorations and for some very important additions. You see, this year marks Tokyo Disneyland’s 35th anniversary. For the occasion, they’d renewed It’s a Small World and inserted new dolls, all of Disney characters placed in their home countries. They went up as recent as Moana, and it was a lot of fun spotting all the characters. The ride looks mint new now too – I couldn’t go last year, but from what I remember from 2016 and earlier, it did look rather old compared to other attractions. Can’t say so anymore now!
That was super fun, so with that earworm stuck in our heads for the rest of the day, we decided to take a rest with an ice cream and figure out our plan for the rest of the morning. We were approached by a cast member, who told us about this being the anniversary year and then decided to reward us with special medals for the anniversary year. To top it off, she also gave us a fast pass for whichever roller coaster ride of choice, no time slot or waiting time required!
So that was really super neat, and as it turned out later, we really were lucky, since we spotted maaaaybe 2 other people in the entire park with the same award. We kept being congratulated by other cast members too, so we felt very special all day, haha.
My friend had become interested in the Star Tours attraction – we could use the fastpass for it, but it was only a 30 minute wait, so we took the bystander entrance and walked on. I have to confess I eventually noped out, since only the very final warning before boarding warned for sudden drops, and I really don’t do well with those. The attraction was apparently very nice, though if you’re, like us, not a Star Wars fan, it’s probably not going to be your favourite.
I was very happy when my friend mentioned she wanted to try the Philharmagic attraction next, because that one is one of my favourites, haha. It’s a 4D attraction of what was supposed to be a concert conducted by Mickey Mouse, except Donald Duck takes over and messes up, taking you on a wild journey through various Disney songs. It’s really tons of fun, and luckily my friend really enjoyed herself too.
We had lunch then and my friend went into Space Mountain, for which she thankfully also managed a fastpass, because I noped out there as well, haha. I strolled around to do some shopping and we met half an hour later, which was well-timed for the both of us, so that was good!
We were in time to catch the full daytime parade Sansui, which eh, has a lot of water. It was fun, but I wanted to take photos, and I really had to take refuge under the trees. The wind was picking up and Donald Duck had sprayed me with his water hose before,  but I could avoid it this time and managed to take some pictures while my friend just enjoyed getting splashed with this weather, haha. (It was sadly 33 C again and sunny. Sunny’s nice! The temperature less so.)
Next up was Pirates of the Caribbean, which I’m sure was underwhelming for my friend after those wilder rides, haha, but it’s still fun. When we got out, she went on to use the free fast pass for the Big Thunder Mountain while I went to find a place for the next big event: the Dreaming Up! Parade, which is new and should be very spectacular.
My friend made it back in time and we settled in. I eventually got up for better pictures, which was a shame, because I got sandwiched between someone who made pictures with her iPad still in one of those book-like covers, and someone else who felt compelled to wave at every single person passing, which is nice, but less so when you keep getting that hand in your frame.
Either way, the parade definitely lived up to the hype. There was even a float for Big Hero 6, which is a rarity and maybe a first for Disney parks, as far as I know. I think I managed to take a couple of decent pictures despite my place and the setting sun, so you’ll get to see those later.
While my friend made it to Splash Mountain, I did some more shopping and made it back so early I was fairly sure I could still catch her. I thus went up to the ride, switched to my big lens and managed to indeed take a picture while she plunged into the watery depths of the ride, haha.
So we both had lots of fun! We walked over to the castle to take some much needed pictures with it as a background before the sun completely set (I’d scored mouse ears by this point, so clearly I needed to pose with those), and then we went out for dinner. We learnt a wise lesson there about leaving food out in Disneyland, because out of nowhere, a huge crow swooped down onto the trays with trash and scooped up a piece of bread, whoa. I’m almost tempted to think it was a raven, it was that big.
So uh, don’t leave your food out unguarded in Disneyland, kids!
My friend was happy she’d done all her roller coaster rides, and I was happy with the attractions I’d been on and the shopping I’d gotten done. We went on a repeat next: Philharmagic. Luckily it wasn’t as busy as the first time around (it really was a busy day considering it was Wednesday), and once we got out, it was almost time for the nighttime parade, so we caught that one because we could, haha. They updated it last year and it’s really gotten lovely. (But I’m biased, I really love the Rapunzel float.)
Another repeat as we rushed to It’s a Small World – the queue was at 20 minutes now, but a lot of other people had the same idea, hohum. Luckily it did still turn out to be 20 minutes, more than enough to get the song stuck in our heads again, haha.
We still had some time left, so we went over to Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek, which I’ve never been to because it’s one of the most popular attractions, but the waiting time was down to 50 minutes now and we were planning on being swept out of the park by closing time anyway, so what the heck, haha. I haven’t actually watched Monsters Inc., but the ride is very fun. You get thrown into a car with 2 or 3 people and you get flashlights. The ride itself is pretty fast and drives you through all kinds of scenarios featuring blue helmets with eyes on them. You have to hit the eyes with your flashlight to reveal monsters, or in some cases, the little girl Boo.
So that was super fun! We still had about half an hour left, so I dragged my friend into Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, which is unique for Disneyparks and also one of the more popular ones here. The wait was still about half an hour, but that’s much better than the average of 90 minutes during daytime. Pooh’s Hunny Hunt doesn’t have a set track, so every time you ride it, your trip is different. Mine was a lot different from the previous couple of times too, so we had a lot of fun and it really was a nice way to end the day.
Even if we did get chased out by the announcements kindly but sternly reminding us that the park was closing, oops.
The train back to Tokyo was busy as expected, but we could sit on the Yamanote line to Ikebukuro (still busy though, despite it being 11 PM at this point), and we made it to our hotel rooms at 11:30 PM.
So yeah, that’s why I didn’t update my blog yesterday, haha.
The pictures will take some time to sort through, so I’ll get those to you tonight. For now, I’m logging off to go into Ikebukuro one last time. We’re already checked in for our return flight tomorrow, but I really don’t want to think about that…
See you later tonight again!

Yo, so let me preface this: I used to watch the 2003 4kids TMNT when I was a kiddo, and I've also been watching TMNT2012, and I'm also pretty hype about Rise tbh, but it got me thinking about the weird rabbit-holey SI/reader being in a relationship with one or more or all of the bros- and like, made me think back to the one I wrote a few years back when I was sick. It also made me think of Raphael having the Hebrew version of his name instead of the Latin/Italian version, Raffaello, and of course because Angelology is its own dark rabbit hole of research, yeah, I was thinking about the archangels, the Hamato brothers and a SI/OFC. Also a bible-thumping, born-again bus seat neighbour.
Then I decided, I have to write this glorious mess.
Tumblr media
(It's for 2012, 'cause I'm most familiar with that incarnation atm)
__
There's something crappily unlucky about getting stuck in New York City after 10:30 in what many, if not most people consider the bad part of town.
It was a reprieve at first, honestly, but after the first 10 minutes, it just was such a drag.
Want to know what happened? Well, the Greyhound broke down, and the driver couldn't fix it, so he called another bus to pick his passengers up, which would be coming. Eventually. Some time after 11:30. Wonderful.
Great. Well, I wasn't beside a born-again Christian Evangelist Bible-thumper trying to shove her brand of religion down my throat, so plus.
On the flipside, minus: I don't know NYC, like at all, I was daytripping. So I wandered off because I was rather sick of my benchmate, the Bible-thumper, and, haha, of course, got lost.
Now I've heard some shit about the Big Apple recently, and like, it's wacky. Ninjas? Aliens? Oh get real. That's a movie publicity stunt.
But ho boy, was I wrong.
So while I was wandering, trying to find my way back to the bus shelter, I hear footsteps approaching me, and like these suited Pod-people clones with these gnarly laser rifles are following me. My eyes go wide, 'cause holy shit, this is either a ballsy as fuck publicity stunt or I'm about to get murdered or worse by these plug fugly clone rejects, and to be honest, either choice sounds kinda shitty.
So I'm there, speed walking the FUCK outta there, when I hear whooping, jeering and clanking metal, I turn, lo and behold: ... Uh turtles...?
I blinked a couple times, nope. Not a stress-induced hallucination, okay, that's good? Yeah, a quick pinch to the arm also verified it wasn't a dream, because oww... And uh, my stare was being returned, and I barely withheld a squeak of startlement, with a no-doubt awkward look I gave my rescuers a smile-and-wave combo. And immediately regretted it.
Between one blink and the next the turtly-shaped anomalies, there were four of them, all around 5-ish feet tall. All sorta staring- like what happens when you stare too long at the abyss, it stares back.
"Um, hi..?" Mouth engaged before brain rebooted, great start. "Thanks for saving me from those creeps..." I think I nervous blabber, that's gotta be the only reason I'm still talkin'. "My name's Daphne, you, uh, fine fellas see a bus shelter 'round here? Think I got a little turned around.." Finally, my mouth ran out of words to spew out, and I was left to get a closer look at my rescuers. I mean, outside of 5-ish foot tall turtles.
Decked out in domino mask-like bandanas, the quartet made for a fairly imposing image, weapons adorning them and blank eyes. Fairly imposing at least until the shortest one, in the orange, spoke, baby blue eyes glittering at me. My mental image of my knights in tortoiseshell armour tarnished a bit,. "Whoa, bros, she's kinda pretty."
She's also right here, I snorted, taken aback, god he sounded like a teen- oh shit, could he actually be a teen? Huh, that's not something ya see everyday, teenage ninja mutant turtles.
The one with the red bandana smacked the one that had spoken upside the head. "Why don't you think before you speak?!" ... Okaay, that's, uh, new.
He spoke again, absolutely unfazed by the whimpering, teary-eyed stare he was receiving, "Bus shelters about five blocks that way." And he pointed in the direction I'd come from, ah nuts, I'm probably getting more lost in the seedy part of an already dangerous city, great. I smile at them a bit wanly, "NYC's got my internal compass a little on the buggered side, but eh, thanks for the directions." I move to push past them, when a blast of pink energy from a nearby alley slams into the pavement in front of me, and I leap back with a choked off curse.
The one in blue grimaces, and barks out, "Let's take care of these pests first, Mikey, Don, can you cover for..?" I'm assuming he's the leader, but it still startles me a bit when he looks at me amidst the blaster fire. Holy shit, my day's just become an episode of a comedy sci-fi anime.
So Blue told Orange, 'Mikey', and Purple, 'Don', to cover me, the civilian liability, yeah, fair, but I was planning on booking it back in the ensuing chaos, nuts. Right, he asked my name again, "Daphne."
"Sure thing Leo!" Next thing I know after Orange chirps that is the sound of a facepalm, ah, that sweet sound of exasperation. I see Blue grit his teeth, and Red poorly hold back a bark of laughter. Ah, I assume they were going for subtle and mysterious. They failed. Oh well.
I fished my phone from my hoodie pocket, 11 pm, oh good. I had time. I put my phone back and sat crosslegged on the ground, and propped my head up. Makes both less and more of a target, I'd wager, plus with all this cloak and dagger, haha, ninja b/s maybe I'll make my bus before they drive off and I have to find a hostel or something.
Again I find my mouth running off before my brain can process, "So... Come here often?" Of course I had to imbue as much sarcasm as I could, raising my voice so all four could hear me- probably not my best call, but I was tired and getting quite cranky. All but Blue were at least amused, Blue, eh, ya can't win 'em all. "So, eh, what are these pod people supposed to be anyway? Rejected robot clone Men In Black?"
I flinch as a silver robot with a smirking brain goes to reach for me, but man am I glad I took a a few years of various martial arts. With a spot of grace, and it beint close enough to use it's brain as a spring board, I do a back roll, and end up knocking into Purple on the get up. "Sorry man, didn't mean to, ugly over there caught me by surprise." He turns to see where I rolled from, and spots a KO'd 'droidy bastard. "That'd be ugly then?" Giving him a cheeky smirk, I humm, "Mmhm, that's him, warts and all!" I stretch, mutterjng to myself as I do, "Ah man, it's been a bit since I've done that..." The four of them by this point have have taken care of the robo-menaces, and Blue still looks extraordinarily unimpressed. Almost like what happened was my fault.
"What are you even doing out here so late? Most people aren't." My eye twitched, yeah, that was equal parts tiredness and irritation, "Like I said, New York buggers with my internal compass and I got turned around. I don't want to be a target for less-than-savoury people, so I learned a helpful tip, called look like you know what you're doing. I'm pretty fucking lost right know, so some help would be much appreciated. If you want incentive, I've got some artisan dark chocolate, and some low-sweetness white chocolate, that ok?"
Eventually, after 10 minutes of bickering, a bar of white chocolate lighter, I was able to get an 'escort'. Red who I found out was properly called Raphael, who was equal parts volunteered and voluntold to make sure I was able to see the bus shelter before buggering off. As I walked the last couple of blocks, an errant thought popped into my head. Raphael was classically an Archangel. There were classically, at least in bare-bones Christianity, four of them. Micheal, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. That- oh boy, did that give me an idea if that lady was gonna try and make me change my beliefs and spirituality.
Plot twist, or maybe not, my favourite person in the world decided to sit rihht beside me. Again. For the long ride homewards. I think she took my silence as license to gab. Oh joy.
Putting on my most awed, touched by God face, from the shadows of my hood, and the most dreamy voice I can manage I put my plan into being.
I flip my hood down, and turn to face her a little bit more, "You know," I cut her off mid-I'll-be-damned-if-I-don't-convert speech, "I think I was visited by the Archangels, you see, I got a little turned around, and I think they guided me back safely." She was gaping like a fish, "One of them even spoke to me," I continued blithely, "He introduced himself as Raphael. That's after they scared off a group of muggers." She looked like I slapped her with a particularly slimy fish, "I-I, bwuh?" Eloquent, lady, very eloquent. "They were so kind and helpful, I can't believe they appeared to this sinful daughter..." After a beat or two, "Miss are you okay?" The fanatical lady was still a bit BSoD, which was a-ok by me, so I flipped my hood back up, and went back to trying to sleep.
I didn't think much of the whole incident for a while, until my friend flipped me a vid of a radical upstate New York lady losing her shit upon being interviewed by a televangelist. I wanted to laugh, I wanted to cry. She was talking about me.
Not quite in so many words, of course, since she wasn't there for what actually happened, but she flipped out when the 'pastor' questioned the validity of her, by extension, my story, through my phone speakers I could hear the question being asked, 'how do you know she was sober?' and the lady just loosing it. I wheezed. What?

Objection! Against Humanity: 7/3/18
Summary: A small smattering of a prosecutors, defense attorneys, bystanders, and one prisoner gather together to play Cards Against Humanity. Miles faces his past (literally). Few can find Bali on a map. Nobody likes Kristoph Gavin, but prison let him borrow a computer to play. Phoenix and Miles are WAY too candid about their bedroom life; Apollo and Athena have a surprise idea in response to this.
Content warnings: Sexual content, implied alcoholism, murder.
Notes: If you would like to join in the fun, we will playing again on July 5th at 5 PM Eastern! Also, click the permalinks to see which cards were played.

WHATEVER I AM REVEALING WILL BECOME REALITY IN YOU.*FIRST: PHYSICS OF CONSCIOUS SOVEREIGNTY. *CONSCIOUS SOVEREIGNTY IS THE ULTIMATE OF LIFE. *PHYSICS OF CONSCIOUS SOVEREIGNTY IS, BUILDING A BODY WITH THE SPIRITUAL STAMINA.*EVERY WORD NOW I UTTER CAN BECOME YOUR REALIZATION, YOUR EXPERIENCE; SO LISTEN.*ACTUALLY, BUILDING A BODY WITH THE SPIRITUAL / CONSCIOUS STAMINA, IS VERY EASY, A JOB TOO EASY. *I CAN GIVE YOU JUST SOME 15-15 SIMPLE TIPS.*IF YOU START FOLLOWING FOR FEW DAYS, AUTOMATICALLY YOU WILL BUILD A BODY WITH CONSCIOUS STAMINA, WHICH CAN MANIFEST PARAMASHIVATVA*BECAUSE MY GURUS HAVE DONE IT FOR ME, I KNOW THE PRECISE METHODOLOGY. *WITHOUT WASTING MUCH TIME, I CAN TEACH YOU.*MANY INSTRUCTIONS, TIPS, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU, LIKE: ADD ONE TEASPOON CASTOR OIL. DON’T ADD TOO MUCH, YOU MAY FEEL DEHYDRATED.*IF YOU ARE TAKING ONLY ONE MEAL A DAY, TAKE ONLY ONE TEASPOON. BASED ON THE FOOD INTAKE, CHOOSE.*THESE ARE VERY SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS. IT'S NOT SOMETHING VERY DIFFICULT, COMPLICATED.*THIS IS VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE,LIFESTYLE THAT SHAIVITE LIFESTYLE, THE EASIEST, LAZY MAN'S METHOD TO BUILD CONSCIOUS STAMINA SPIRITUAL BODY*THE CONSCIOUS STAMINA SPACE, THAT STAMINA BODY, WITH THAT STAMINA, ONCE YOU START MANIFESTING, YOU WILL FEEL SO HAPPY TO LIVE INSIDE YOUR BODY!*I WILL GIVE YOU 2 SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS AND FEW TRUTHS TO BUILD THE PHYSICS OF THE CONSCIOUS STAMINA.*PHYSICS OF THE CONSCIOUS STAMINA IS, BUILDING A STRONG PHYSICAL BODY WITH SPIRITUAL STAMINA THAT STARTS MANIFESTING THE RIGHT PHYSICS AND EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR MANIFESTING CONSCIOUS STAMINA. *I CAN GIVE YOU 1 OR 2 EXAMPLES.*WHEN YOU START HAVING SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUS STAMINA, YOU WILL CARRY SUCH AN AMAZING SPACE, THAT ANYONE CAN ASK ANYTHING, YOU WILL NEVER FEEL IRRITATED; YOU JUST KNOW YOU ARE SO HAPPY THEY ASKED YOU! *YOU WILL NEVER FEEL DEMANDED.

I AM VERY SERIOUS. IF YOU START DOING IT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND - WITHIN SIX MONTHS.*IF YOU ARE A PERSON CONSTANTLY IRRITATED, EASILY TRIGGERED, JUST USE CASTOR OIL.*YOU MAY THINK: ‘WHAT? CASTOR OIL TO REMOVE IRRITATION?’ YES! I AM TELLING YOU!*CASTOR  OIL WILL REMOVE THE PARASITES SITTING INSIDE YOUR STOMACH WHICH TRIGGERS IRRITATION CONTINUOUSLY. *THE CASTOR OIL AND PARASITES ARE ANTI. THEY DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER.*I AM A DHYANA SIDDHA BY BIRTH, BECAUSE EVEN WHEN I ENTERED THE BODY, I CARRIED THE NIRVIKALPA SAMADHI. *EVEN I HAD A DIFFICULTY ONCE: IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, DURING THE DEEPAM FESTIVAL, THEY WOULD SELL THE ROADSIDE KULFI ICE CREAM. THEY WOULD SELL THESE ONLY DURING THE BIG FESTIVAL TIMES. *SO RAGHUPATI YOGI ALWAYS TAKES ME FROM HOME TO TEMPLE TO TEACH YOGA AND BRINGS ME BACK HOLDING MY HAND ESPECIALLY DURING FESTIVAL, BECAUSE OF A LOT OF CROWD.*THE KULFI ICE GUYS WILL HAVE A BELL IN THEIR TRICYCLE AND SELL THE KULFI ICE.*I WAS LISTENING TO THAT BELL AND LOOKING AT IT*RAGHUPATI YOGI THOUGHT I WANT THAT ICE CREAM, THAT'S WHY I AM LOOKING. HE ASKED, ‘DO YOU WANT TO EAT THAT?’ I NEITHER SAID YES NOR SAID NO. BECAUSE I NEVER TASTED IT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. I WAS ONLY LISTENING TO THAT NICE BELL SOUND, BUT HE THOUGHT MAYBE I WANT BUT FELT A LITTLE SHY IN ASKING.*SO HE BOUGHT AND WHEN I ATE IT, I REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT WAS TASTY AND THE WAY I ATE, HE UNDERSTOOD I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND BOUGHT ONE MORE. TILL THE SECOND ONE, I DID NOT ASK. THE THIRD ONE, I MYSELF SAID, ‘GET ONE MORE.’ THEN HE STARTED LAUGHING AND SAID, ‘EH MORE THAN THIS I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WILL CATCH A COLD’ BECAUSE USUALLY THE DEEPAM FESTIVAL COMES IN THE COLD SEASON - NOVEMBER- DECEMBER TIME. FINALLY, I ATE 5!*NEXT DAY HE WAS MAKING ME DO SOME PROCESS AND I COULD SEE THE IMPACT OF THAT COLD WEATHER AND THE KULFI ICE CREAM! I HAD LITTLE KAPHA. HE WAS ASKING ME TO SIT IN A CERTAIN POSITION AND DO MY SPIRITUAL PROCESS. USUALLY HE WILL MAKE ME DO ANY RITUALS, YAJNA, HOMA, HAVAN, PUJA, AND HE WILL INITIATE ME INTO PRANAYAMA OR KRIYA WHICH I AM SUPPOSED TO DO.*HE DID THE RITUAL AND INITIATED, BUT I WAS MISSING A FEW STEPS ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE PRANAYAMA AND KUMBHAKA. USUALLY, IF I HAVE TO HOLD THE BREATH FOR 60 SECONDS, HE WILL TELL I HAVE TO HOLD TILL HE COUNTS 60, AND I WILL JUST HOLD THE BREATH. THERE WAS NO QUESTION OF MISSING THE BREATH EVEN AT 58. THAT DAY AT LEAST 2 TIMES I MISSED THE COUNT.*SOMETIMES JUST TO TEST ME, AFTER 20 OR 30 HE WILL MISS AND, HE WILL SAY, ‘NO NO NO I WILL START AGAIN!’ HE IS AN EXTREMELY AMAZING, LOVING, PATIENT, GURU. *WHENEVER I NEED TO WORK WITH MY KIDS, I ONLY VISUALIZE MY GURUS, THEIR LOVE FOR ME, THEIR PATIENCE FOR ME, THE WAY THEY WORKED ON ME.*I JUST HOLD THEM IN MY INNER SPACE. THAT IS WHY I KEEP ALL THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS AND I WANT ALL THE ASHRAMS TO KEEP ALL THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS JUST FOR THE AMOUNT OF TYAGA THEY HAVE DONE.*HE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE KAPHA BECAUSE OF THE 5 KULFI ICE CREAMS IS INSIDE.*HE JUST GOT THE KARISALANKANNI LEAF AND PUT IT IN HIS THUMB AND PUT IT ON MY UPPER PALATE AND STARTED RUBBING WITH HIS THUMB. *THE WHOLE PITTA AND KAPHA CAME OUT THROUGH ALL 5 HOLES - 2 EYES, 2 NOSE AND EARS. FROM THE EARS IT WILL NOT COME AS A LIQUID/SOLID, IT WILL COME LIKE AIR.*HE MADE ME SIT. NOT ONLY I COULD DO THE WHOLE PRANAYAMA, I COULD SEE THE WHOLE VISUALISATION I AM SUPPOSED TO HOLD DURING PRANAYAMA.*AFTER THAT, DURING MY LIFE, EVEN DURING WANDERING, I NEVER SUFFERED NOR TOOK ANY ALLOPATHY MEDICINE FOR PITTA OR KAPHA. *ANY AYURVEDIC DOCTOR WILL UNDERSTAND:*PITTA MAKES YOUR MIND FEEL THE MENTAL SUFFOCATION. *KAPHA MAKES YOUR BODY FEEL THE PHYSICAL SUFFOCATION.*PITTA BINDS YOU, CHAINS YOU MENTALLY. *KAPHA BINDS YOU, CHAINS YOU PHYSICALLY.*EVEN NOW I DON'T ENJOY EATING ICE CREAM. RARELY IF DISCIPLES WANT TO EAT, JUST TO GIVE COMPANY I EAT. BUT I DON’T HAVE ANY LIKING FOR IT.*BUT EVEN DUE TO WEATHER CHANGE OR ANY REASON, NEVER EVER I SUFFER DUE TO PITTA AND KAPHA.*IN YOUR LIFE, SO MUCH OF SUFFERING YOU GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF PITTA AND KAPHA AND DON’T EVEN KNOW IT IS BECAUSE OF PITTA AND KAPHA.*WHEN YOU FEEL SUFFOCATION IN YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS DUE TO KAPHA, YOU SCREAM AT EVERYONE.*WHEN YOU SUFFER THE PITTA, EVEN YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR FUTURE*AFTER THAT SO MANY TIMES I USED THE KARISALANKANNI AS A PASTE, POWDER, AND APPLY IT WITH MY THUMB ON MY UPPER PALATE, SO THE WHOLE PITTA AND KAPHA WILL COME OUT.,*BECAUSE PITTA AND KAPHA IS CLEANSED AGAIN AND AGAIN, NOT ONLY I NEVER SUFFERED THE COUGH / COLD AND IT'S IMPACT, I ALWAYS FELT VERY STABLE ABOUT MY FUTURE.*YOUR PITTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING YOU DOUBT YOURSELF AND YOUR FUTURE.*MANY TIMES YOU FEEL, ‘IF I TAKE SANYAS, WILL I BE HAPPY IN KAILASA?’ ‘IF I TAKE THIS COMMITMENT, WILL I BE HAPPY IN MY LIFE?’*NOT BEING SURE OF YOURSELF, YOU DESTROY YOURSELF SO MUCH.*SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS OF YOUR LIFE IS LOST BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL SURE OF YOURSELF ESPECIALLY SPIRITUALLY, CONSCIOUSLY.*I HAVE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY THINK, ‘WILL I BE HAPPY IF I TAKE SANYAS? WILL I BE HAPPY IF I CHOOSE TO BE WITH SWAMIJI IN KAILASA?’*ALL YOU NEED IS THIS KARISALANKANNI LEAF. EVERYDAY APPLY IT TO THE PALATE AND MAKE YOUR BODY SAMATVA SHARIRA.*NOT ONLY MY GURU GAVE ME 5 KULFI ICE CREAMS, HE GAVE ME SOMETHING GREATEST IN MY LIFE TILL TODAY, THAT IS TAKING KARISALANKANNI AND TAKING OUT ALL THE PITTA AND KAPHA AND MAKING ME BALANCED.*WHENEVER YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS ARE STRONG, YOUR BREATHING BECOMES STRONG.*STRONG BREATHING BUILDS STRONG INTERNAL ORGANS, STRONG BODY VERY EASILY; YOU WILL BUILD STRONG MUSCLES. *TAKING KARISALANKANNI POWDER IN YOUR THUMB AND APPLYING IN THE UPPER PALATE AND CLEANING ALL KAPHA AND PITTA IS SUCH A SIMPLE ACT. *KARISALANKANNI IS AVAILABLE EVEN IN AMAZON NOWADAYS. EVERY VILLAGE HOME IN INDIA IN EVERY EVERY VILLAGE YOU WILL SEE HAS KARUSALANGANNI PON MURN THOOTHUVALAI*STRONG INTERNAL ORGANS WHEN THE KAPHA IS CLEANSED YOU GET THE STAMINA IN YOUR BREATHING WHEN PITTA IS CLEANSED, YOU GET THE STRONG VISUALIZATION; YOU WILL NOT HAVE DOUBT ABOUT YOURSELF*PEOPLE SAY, ‘SWAMIJI I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARRY ON IN MY LIFE, I MAY HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN. I CAN'T HANDLE, I AM FEELING SUFFOCATED.’ IF YOU HAD THIS PROBLEM, YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY PITTA. APPLY KARISALANKANNI AND CLEAN YOUR PITTA, YOU WILL HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE ABOUT YOU.*YOU MAY NEVER IMAGINE SUCH A SIMPLE ACT CAN SOLVE SUCH HUGE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE.*YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO DO THIS CLEANING OF PITTA AND KAPHA EVERY DAY. *BUT ACTUALLY IF YOU START DOING, YOU MAY REALLY ENJOY AND MAY START DOING EVERYDAY! *EVEN IF YOU DO 3-4 TIMES A DAY, YOU WILL START FEELING SO MUCH CONFIDENCE ABOUT YOURSELF*YOU WILL  BE SO SURE OF YOU. YOU WILL FEEL, ‘YES I CAN HANDLE MY LIFE.’ *SAMATVA MEANS DECIDING: ‘AT ANY SITUATION OF MY LIFE, I AM ONLY GOING TO DECIDE EVERYTHING AS PER DHARMA AND LIVE IN THE SAME WAY AND LEAVE THE BODY WITH THE SAME DHARMA. IF NEEDED, I WILL TAKE ANOTHER BODY, STRENGTHEN MY DHARMA TILL I REACH MOKSHA.’ OVER!*IT IS BEING SURE ABOUT YOURSELF AND ADOPTING DHARMA AS THE STRATEGY FOR LIFE. IT IS THE MOST ULTIMATE PEACEFUL DECISION YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR LIFE*ONCE YOU DECIDE, ‘COME WHAT MAY, I AM GOING TO HANDLE EVERYTHING BASED ON DHARMA’, OVER. *THAT MOMENT YOU ARE ENLIGHTENED, LIBERATED, FREE, BECAUSE AFTER THAT YOU DON'T NEED YOUR CUNNING STRATEGIC KULLANARI MIND.*EXTREMELY VIOLENT, SELFISH, STRATEGIC MIND, MAY BRAINWASH YOU THAT IT IS VERY USEFUL AND BRINGS A LOT OF BENEFITS. BUT IT TAKES AWAY YOUR PEACE BY MAKING YOU DOUBT YOURSELF AND LITERALLY DESTROYS YOUR CONFIDENCE ON YOURSELF.*IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO ALWAYS HAS  EXTREME CUNNINGNESS AND CALCULATIVENESS, ALL THE TIME YOU WILL HAVE A SELF DOUBT: HAVE I BEEN TAKING RIGHT DECISIONS IN THE PAST, PRESENT, REALLY MAKING THE WORLD PRODUCTIVE FOR ME?’ *IN THIS CONSTANT CUNNINGNESS, YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF AND THIS CREATES SO MUCH OF STRESS, SUFFERING, SUFFOCATION INSIDE YOU. *YOUR WHOLE LIFE BECOMES A CUNNING STRATEGY AND EVEN YOU ARE AFRAID AND YOU WILL BE ATTRACTING ALL CUNNING PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND EVERYONE AROUND WILL KNOW YOU ARE A CUNNING STRATEGIST.*A SIMPLE SWEET BEING ATTRACTS ONLY THAT TYPE OF PEOPLE AND ECOSYSTEM AND EVERYONE FEELS YOU ARE SWEET AND YOU CREATE THE RIGHT ECOSYSTEM FOR YOU TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE! AND THAT GIVES AN ULTIMATE PROTECTION.*GREATEST GIFT IS, BEING LOVING CAN GET YOU BEINGS WHO ARE LOVING.*BEING CUNNING WILL GET YOU BEINGS WHO ARE CUNNING FOR YOU; THAT IS THE WORST HELL.*YOU CAN CREATE HEAVEN OR HELL; IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DECIDE FOR YOU.*IF YOU DECIDE FROM NOW: ‘AHIMSA PARAMO DHARMAH’ DHARMA IS THE CENTRE WITH WHICH I WILL MAKE ALL DECISIONS,’ THEN NO QUESTION OF CUNNING, SELFISH, CONSTANTLY EXPLOITING STRATEGIES, BECAUSE THOSE STRATEGIES MAY GET SMALL SMALL BENEFITS IN THE INITIAL LEVEL BUT WILL START DEVELOPING DEEP SELF DOUBT IN YOU AND THAT FEELING OF YOU NOT BEING SURE ABOUT YOU AND HOW YOU WILL BEHAVE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE IN THE FUTURE, AND FINALLY IT WILL LEAD TO IMPLOSION - YOU COLLAPSING INTERNALLY.*DECIDE, ‘SWALPAM APYASA DHARMASYA TRAYATE MAHATO BHAYAT’. KRISHNA SAYS, EVEN IF YOU PRACTISE WHAT I AM TEACHING A LITTLE BIT, PROBLEMS OF MOUNTAINS’ SIZE WILL BE DESTROYED.*EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW GURU VAK A LITTLE BIT, TONS OF PROBLEMS, GREATER PROBLEMS JUST DISAPPEAR. YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY PROBLEMS YOU AVOIDED, ESCAPED! *WITH JUST THIS ONE KARISALANKANNI, CLEANING THE KAPHA AND PITTA, HOW MUCH I BECAME SURE ABOUT ME!*WHEN THE KAPHA AND PITTA IS BALANCED, YOU DON'T FEEL SUFFOCATED MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY IN YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS. *SO YOU WILL ALWAYS TAKE VERY DHARMIC DECISIONS, NOT IN AN IRRITATED, AGITATED, AGGRESSIVE MOOD.*ALL DECISIONS DURING HIGH KAPHA AND PITTA, ARE DANGEROUS TO YOUR LIFE AND EXISTENCE. *KEEPING THE KAPHA AND PITTA BALANCED WILL MAKE YOU ALWAYS TAKE VERY SWEET DECISIONS. *LIFE WILL FLOW IN SUCH A POWERFUL WAY. *YOU SIMPLY KNOW, EVEN IF YOU OBEY GURU’S INSTRUCTIONS 1000S OF BIG BIG PROBLEMS WILL NOT EVEN COME TO YOU AND ANY PROBLEM WHICH COMES TO YOU, YOU WILL SIMPLY DISSOLVE IT!*THAT IS WHY EVEN NOW I HAVE THE HABIT WHERE I WILL NOT CALCULATE MY GURU VAKS TO THE DIRECT BENEFIT IT BRINGS.*IF I CALCULATE, THEN I MAY THINK, ‘OH IF I BRING KARISALANKANNI AND APPLY, I WILL NOT CATCH A COLD AND I WILL BE ABLE TO BREATHE FREELY.’ IF I CALCULATE, ONLY WHEN I HAVE COUGH OR COLD, I WILL USE KARISALANKANNI. *BUT MANY TIMES I WILL SIMPLY START APPLYING MY GURUVAK. IN MY WANDERING DAYS, WHEREVER I SEE KARISALANKANNI, I WILL SIMPLY TAKE IT AND APPLY IT.*BECAUSE I LISTENED TO MY GURUVAK, I ALWAYS HAD A BALANCED DHARMIC DECISION MAKING INNER SPACE WHICH BROUGHT TREMENDOUS STRENGTH ABOUT ME, BEING SURE ABOUT ME.*WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY HOME, I NEVER HAD INSECURITY OR NOT BEING SURE ABOUT HOW I WILL HANDLE MY FUTURE.*SAME WAY, IN 40, LITERALLY AFTER ESTABLISHING KINGDOMS, EVERYTHING I NEED FOR MY LIFE, I JUST WALKED OUT OF EVERYTHING. *I HAD THE SAME SPIRIT, COURAGE, CONFIDENCE THAT I CAN REBUILD; I CAN CREATE WHAT I WANT; I CAN FACE MY LIFE; WHATEVER MY LIFE BRINGS, I CAN HANDLE IT! I WAS SO SURE ABOUT IT.*ME BEING SURE ABOUT MY ABILITY TO HANDLE MY FUTURE, WHATEVER MY FUTURE MAY BRING, THAT IS WHAT I CALL MY SHRADDHA TOWARDS MY GURU PARAMPARA.*I WILL OBEY MY GURUVAK. COME WHAT MAY, I WILL HANDLE IT.*WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF MY ADI KAILASA CAMPUS, PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE WITNESS... I JUST SAID, ‘IT IS TIME TO MAKE HINDU SAMRAJYA - HINDU NATION!’*I JUST KNOW WHATEVER LIFE BRINGS I CAN HANDLE WITH THE GRACE OF MY GURUS - GURU PARAMPARA, AND I MADE IT. *ACTUALLY THEY MADE IT! THEIR GRACE, THEY MANIFESTED IT!*YOU BEING SURE ABOUT YOU TO LIVE THE GURU VAK IS THE GREATEST SPIRITUAL STAMINA. *CASTOR OIL, APPLYING KARISALANKANNI EVERYDAY WITH YOUR THUMB ON YOUR UPPER PALATE AND CLEANING THE PITTA AND KAPHA... ALL THESE SIMPLE ACTS WILL BRING SPIRITUAL STAMINA IN YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL BE SURE ABOUT FOLLOWING THE GURUVAK, THE HIGHEST VISION FOR YOU.*YOU WILL BE SO SURE ABOUT IT; YOU WILL HAVE SO MUCH OF SPIRITUAL STAMINA, CONFIDENCE; SIMPLY YOU WILL MANIFEST PARAMASHIVA.*THE BIGGEST NEGATIVITY IN YOUR LIFE IS, THE FEAR: ‘WILL I BE ABLE TO HANDLE MYSELF IF I JUST GO WITH MY GURUVAK? IF I JUST GO WITH MY GURU'S WORDS, WILL I BE ABLE TO HANDLE? WILL I COLLAPSE AND HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN?’*HOW CAN YOU DIE BY DRINKING NECTAR?*SOME PEOPLE ASK, ‘IF I DO UNCLUTCHING MEDITATION, WILL I HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN?’ *THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF PEOPLE HAVING DEATH BY MEDITATING UNCLUTCHING*BY NOT UNCLUTCHING THERE ARE MILLIONS WHO DIE VERY CHEAP DEATH!*EVEN IN DEATH THERE SHOULD BE DIGNIFIED DEATH. I AM SEEING NOW, IN THIS PRALAYA, PEOPLE ARE SO SUFFOCATED TO KEEP THEMSELVES INSIDE A ROOM. *JUST FOR FRESH AIR THEY GO OUT AND GET CORONA AND GET FRESH BODY ITSELF NOT JUST FRESH BREATH!*NOW THE NEXT LEVEL VARIANTS - DELTA PLUS AND LAMBDA CORONA... HIGHLY INFECTIOUS AND HIGH DEATH RATE...*EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE KNOW ALL THIS INFORMATION, JUST THE IMAGINARY SUFFOCATION, UNABLE TO MENTALLY HANDLE THE PITTA AND KAPHA, THEY STEP OUT.*PITTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MENTAL SUFFOCATION. *THEY GO OUT AND GET THE REAL PROBLEM CALLED CORONA*PITTA, THE MENTAL SUFFOCATION IS ONLY AN IMAGINARY PROBLEM. BUT CORONA IS THE REAL PHYSICAL PROBLEM!*NOT HAVING THE CONSCIOUS STAMINA, SPIRITUAL STAMINA, CAN EVEN KILL YOU. *ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO DUE TO MENTAL SUFFOCATION GO OUT AND GET CORONA AND DIE ARE DYING JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT TAUGHT THE SCIENCE OF UNCLUTCHING AND MEDITATION. IF THEY KNOW THE UNCLUTCHING AND MEDITATION IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THEIR MENTAL SUFFOCATION.*UNCLUTCHING IS AS SIMPLE AS APPLYING KARISALANKANNI IN YOUR UPPER PALATE AND CLEANING YOUR PITTA AND KAPHA*PEOPLE ARE ASKING OTHER NAMES OF KARISALANKANNI. I KNOW ONLY THIS NAME AND THE NAME BHRINGRAJ. YOU CAN GOOGLE AND FIND OUT.*JUST NOT ABLE TO HANDLE YOUR SUFFOCATION, YOUR INNER SPACE, YOU GETTING THE REAL PROBLEM LIKE REAL CORONA *IT IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE BECOMING CRIME ITSELF.*YOU UNABLE TO HANDLE SUFFOCATION - PITTA, IS CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE FINALLY IT BECOMES CRIME ITSELF WHEN YOU GET CORONA.*KARISALANKANNI IS CALLED ‘FALSE DAISY’ IN ENGLISH.*ACTUALLY IT SHOULD BE NAMED AS ‘TRUE DAISY’! *LET ME GIVE YOU BASIC FEW REVELATIONS TO ACHIEVE SPIRITUAL STAMINA:*YOUR BODY WITH THE SPIRITUAL STAMINA IS THE FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENT FOR MANIFESTING CONSCIOUS SOVEREIGNTY -  PARAMASHIVATVA AND IT IS NOT DIFFICULT, IT IS TOO SIMPLE.*JUST APPLYING KARISALANKANNI AND CLEANING THE PITTA AND KAPHA, HAS MADE ME FEEL SO SECURE ABOUT ME, SURE ABOUT ME, AND MY ABILITY TO HANDLE, COME WHAT MAY.*MY ABILITY TO HANDLE COME WHAT MAY IS MY SHRADDHA TO MY GURU PARAMPARA, PARAMASHIVA ,ARUNAGIRI YOGISHWARA. *YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY INITIATED THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE IN ME: I SIMPLY OBEY THEIR WORDS AND THAT GIVES ME SO MANY BENEFITS, SO THAT MAKES ME SO SURE ABOUT MY FUTURE AND THAT IS THE TRUST ON MY GURU PARAMPARA. *LOVE FEEDS TRUST, TRUST FEEDS LOVE, MORE LOVE MORE TRUST AND THIS VIRTUOUS CIRCLE BECOMES ONENESS, ENLIGHTENMENT, PARAMA ADVAITA, THAT’S ALL!*GETTING INTO THAT VIRTUOUS CIRCLE IS WHAT IS THE CONSCIOUS STAMINA, SPIRITUAL STAMINA.*I NEVER STRATEGIZED AND OBEYED MY GURUS WORDS. I WILL SIMPLY OBEY MY GURUVAK. I'LL DO IT, OVER.*EVEN NOW I AM SEEING MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT CORONA IS SETTLED, IT IS NOT THAT BAD. *BE VERY CLEAR, IT IS NOT OVER.*ALL THESE PEOPLE ROAMING IN THE MARKET... SO MUCH CROWD IN CHENNAI, LIKE A FESTIVAL - UTSAVA!*I DON’T KNOW WHY DRESS AND JEWELS ARE IMPORTANT THAN LIFE ITSELF. OR ARE THEY BUYING DRESSES FOR THEIR OWN DEAD BODIES?*PEOPLE GOING TO GET FOOD OR GROCERIES I CAN TOLERATE BECAUSE WITHOUT FOOD THEY WILL DIE. BUT PEOPLE GOING FOR CLOTHES JEWELS OTHER THINGS, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!*I AM TELLING YOU, THE SOCIAL SETUP OF INDIA IS GOING TO TERRIBLY FAIL INDIANS IN THIS CORONA TIME. *PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, NEPAL...ALL THE COUNTRIES WITH THE SAME MENTAL SETUP, EVERYWHERE THIS COLLECTIVE INTEGRITY IS MISSING. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHERS DYING BY THEM SPREADING CORONA, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT MASK, ABOUT PEOPLE DYING.*SOMETIMES PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET CORONA, THEY GET SO VENGEFUL THEY GO AND SPREAD WITHOUT TELLING THEY HAVE CORONA.*I SAVED JYOTIKA...SHE IS ALIVE, NOT DEAD; SHE IS SAVED, BUT STILL NOT RECOVERED COMPLETELY. STILL I AM WORKING. STILL SHE HAS NOT BECOME COMPLETELY HEALTHY. I AM NOT ABLE TO MAKE HER TRAVEL FROM CHENNAI TO BENGALURU, BECAUSE THE OXYGEN LEVEL ARE GOING UP AND DOWN.*SHE IS ALIVE WITH CORONA NEGATIVE, BUT NOT HEALTHY. *EVEN AFTER SHE BECOMES HEALTHY, I HAVE TO WORK AND DETOX HER BECAUSE CORONA DOES LARGE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL ORGANS. *IT TAKES SUCH HUGE EFFORT TO RETRIEVE THEM TO NORMALCY. *EVEN FOR FEW MORE OF MY DISCIPLES WHO GOT CORONA, LITERALLY I HAVE PUT A CONSCIOUS BLANKET OVER THEM AND RECOVERING THEM, HEALING THEM. *IT IS LIKE A SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUS SUPER VENTILATOR. *EVEN WITH THAT I COULD ONLY SAVE THEM; THEY ARE ALIVE BUT NOT RECOVERED COMPLETELY. *UNDERSTAND CORONA. DON'T TAKE IT LIGHT.*ESPECIALLY IN INDIA, PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND AND INVITING THE THIRD WAVE AND THE WORST PART IS: IT WILL BE DELTA PLUS AND LAMBDA CORONA VERSIONS THIS TIME; THE WORST UPDATED VERSIONS.*I DON'T WANT TO MAKE FURTHER STATEMENTS ABOUT CORONA. *I ONLY WANT MY DISCIPLES WHO OBEY ME TO STAY HOME, STAY HOME, HAVE MULTILAYER QUARANTINE, IF YOU CANNOT GO TO ADI KAILASA. *SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE.*ESPECIALLY COUNTRIES LIKE NEPAL, BANGLADESH, PAKISTAN, MALAYSIA... NOW I HEARD THE GOOD NEWS THAT EVEN FROM MALAYSIA PEOPLE CAN TRAVEL TO INDIA!*IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF, SIMPLY GO TO ADI KAILASA WHERE YOU ARE GIVEN MULTILAYER QUARANTINE. GO THERE, SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE IT BECOMES TOO LATE. MULTILAYER QUARANTINE IS TOO IMPORTANT.*LET ME REVEAL MORE AND MORE SACRED SECRETS TO BUILD CONSCIOUS STAMINA.*HAVE HARITAKI, THOOTHUVALAI, MORINGA LEAF IN YOUR FOOD REGULARLY.*JUST THESE SIMPLE 10-20 INSTRUCTIONS ARE ENOUGH!*I CAN PUT IT ELABORATELY AND SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL. *WHATEVER I SHARE TODAY, START DOING VAKYARTHA SADAS ON IT.*I CAN ONLY SAY WHEN PEOPLE ARE MOVING AROUND, THEY ARE INVITING THE WORST THINGS BECAUSE COLLECTIVE INTEGRITY IS NOT THERE. PEOPLE DON'T CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WHOLE SOCIETY.*IT IS NOT THAT EASY, SIMPLE, WHEN THE MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IS BROKEN, FAILING, BY OVERLOAD. *SO MANY OTHER THINGS ARE FAILING DUE TO OVERLOAD: THE SOCIAL, ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL INFRASTRUCTURE, EVERYTHING GETS OVERLOADED AND THE ANARCHIAN CHAOS WITH UNJUSTIFIED NUMBER OF DEATHS AND LOSSES AND NO VALUE FOR LIFE...*DON'T LISTEN TO ANYBODY'S OPINION ABOUT CORONA. JUST PROTECT YOURSELF WITH MULTI LAYER QUARANTINE. THAT'S ALL. JUST PROTECT YOURSELF WITH MULTI LAYER QUARANTINE.*NEITHER GET CONSTIPATED BY CONSPIRACY THEORISTS NOR GET CHEATED BY POSITIVE IDEA BAKWAS. JUST HAVE MULTI LAYER QUARANTINE AND PROTECT YOURSELF BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE; ESPECIALLY PEOPLE IN THE ASIAN COUNTRIES.*IN THE US, THE SOCIETY STRUCTURE IS QUARANTINE STRUCTURE. *IN INDIA, ANYONE WILL WALK INTO ANY HOUSE!*I STILL REMEMBER, IF THE MAIN HOME DOOR IS LOCKED, PEOPLE WILL ASK, ‘WHY ARE YOU KEEPING IT LOCKED DURING DAYTIME?’ IN DAYTIME YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KEEP IT LOCKED!*ESPECIALLY ALL MY DISCIPLES, MY ADHEENAVASIS, IF YOU HAVE ANY IMPORTANT PEOPLE YOU NEED TO PROTECT, EITHER GET THEM OUT OF ASIAN COUNTRIES - INDIA, BANGLADESH, MALAYSIA, NEPAL, PAKISTAN, INDONESIA….OR GET THEM TO ADI KAILASA WHERE THEY CAN HAVE MULTI LAYER QUARANTINE.*PREVENTION IS THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CORONA BECAUSE THE THIRD WAVE MAY BE THE WORST WAVE. THE DEATH RATE IS TOO HIGH. WITH THE DELTA PLUS AND LAMBDA CORONA, BEFORE EVEN YOU REALIZE OR GO TO THE HOSPITAL, THE PERSON IS KILLED.*THAT'S THE WAY IT IS GOING. SO THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF INDIA IS GOING TO FAIL INDIANS DURING THIS PANDEMIC. THIS FREELY MOVING AROUND, TOUCHING, GOING TO LUXURY SHOPS, GOING FOR SHOPPING, I JUST DON'T KNOW….*WHEN I SAW THE CROWD IN RANGANATHAN STREET IN T NAGAR, I WAS SHOCKED! IN THAT CROWD, CORONA MAY GET KILLED!*MULTI LAYER QUARANTINE IN YOUR HOME IS NOT POSSIBLE. IF IT IS REALLY POSSIBLE IT IS ONLY IN ADI KAILASA. *SO GO THERE AND SAVE YOURSELF AND IF YOU ARE ALREADY IN ADI KAILASA, YOU ARE DIRECTLY PROTECTED BY PARAMASHIVA. ENJOY THE SAFETY GIVEN BY HIM DIRECTLY.*SO WITH THIS, I BLESS YOU ALL. LET’S ALL RADIATE WITH INTEGRITY, COLLECTIVE INTEGRITY, AUTHENTICITY, RESPONSIBILITY, ENRICHING, CAUSING, LIVING PARAMADVAITAM, SHUDDHADVAITA SAIVAM, THE STATE, SPACE, POWERS, BEING, SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS AND KAILASA OF PARAMASHIVA. PARAMASHIVOHAM. OM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVOHAM. THE ETERNAL BLISS, NITHYANANDA. THANK YOU, BE BLISSFUL!

Get to know me
Tag ten followers you want to get to know! 
Tagged by @aod4909 (Thank you ♥♥ You just brightened up my day, which so far has been pretty bloody miserable...) 
Name :  I only that to people who I know closely (cause I hate my name lol), so pm me if you want it. But you may call me Lilith or Lily. 
Gender : -shrugs- .. Genderfluid I suppose... Not really sure how to put it in words so.
Star sign : Capricorn
Current wall paper?:
Tumblr media
(I’m guessing this refers to computer wallpaper... My phones wp is of the same show so...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )   μ's cause I love them...♥♥♥  I don’t even know why I still have portal 2, Oddworld or Doki Doki installed...I’ve never started any of them. They just sit there...waiting... I still have the “Removed apps” thing here since the great computer fuck-up I had September 2016. My computer went berserk and the only thing I could do was reset it...and I lost so much stuff during that. Thank god the majority of my savefiles survived. (Note the “Gamla sparfiler” - it means “Old savefiles” lol) 
Ever had a crush on a teacher?:  Omfg no... Most of them were assholes tbh, so having a crush on them? Lol, no ty. Some were really nice though and I didn’t like not having them around anymore but you know... None were crush worthy. They were all kinda old too so... like 30+ so.. ewww...
If you could be someone else right now, who and where would you be?: I unno. I don’t know someone particular I would be. I wouldn’t mind having money to do something fun though.. God I would love to travel or shit like that...but yeah I unno. 
Coolest Halloween costume?: I have never once had one... so eh... none? Halloween isn’t really that big of a deal here. Easter is waaaay bigger. 
Who was your last kiss? : My dog... It wasn’t very great. 
Favorite book: I unno really... Probably the Harry Potter series, but a specific one??? eh..yeah no idea. I used to read a lot but now a days I just can’t relax enough to actually sit and read a book. 
Fav 90’s TV show : Unsure...No wait! Family addams. (You know the animated one?) That was my shit as a kid, although we sadly didn’t have the channel for it so I couldn’t watch it as much as I wanted. I still catch it sometimes on our boomerang. I still love it so much. 
Every been to los Vegas? Eh...no... I’ve never been to america? (I guess this is about las vegas??) 
Favorite shoes?: I don’t think I have any tbh. It used to be my summer ecco but right now my feet just can’t seem to adjust back to them, so I probably need new ones. They are usually amazing though, my feet are so sensitive and I usually struggle with most shoes so I love my ecco shoes because they usually don’t create issues... except now ofc. 
Favorite fruit?: Hm....I mean strawberries is technically a fruit and I looooove those, but if we’re gonna go with fruit in a more traditional thinking maybe..Passion fruit? it’s really fresh tasting. 
Whatvisthwatipidest thing you’ve ever done?: Well I’ve done a lot of stupid shit in my days... Most of them has probably been related to trusting the wrong people to be honest. I have to say in the end though, letting a certain person whos name starts with an E be close to me for as long as she was, was the dumbest thing I’ve done. That bitch deserves nothing... You were only there to please her and nothing else and she didn’t deserve my time. Maybe also not telling my abusive mom to fuck off. Took her like 11 more years to actually be worth having in my life so... not really worth the shit in between.
I’m going to tag: @itzdare @heckborkin You guys don’t have to do it of course! Sorry if I bother you with it.  Also anybody else who may want to do this can consider themselves tagged.
