Max smiled as he tucked in the edges of the small, blue shirt; its miniature size almost comical on the child’s small frame. Gabriel was surprisingly still for him, though his hips wriggled when he got to the back, rocking from side to side in his likewise scaled-down boots which Cassandra had tied carefully for him earlier, making sure to double-knot. Looking up, he could only see the back of her head; her long, dark waves cascading down the back of her dress where the ends skimmed the edge of her waistband; the navy garment cinched in with a tie belt. She was waiting at the window, fingering the edges of the plain, dark curtains expectantly and it wasn’t until Max drew up to his full height and touched her shoulder gently she turned around with a little, startled jolt. Her eyes moved from him to her child, almost apprehensively. 
“Is he ready?” She asked. 
Max nodded. “Looking smart. Is his bag packed?”
She nodded, gesturing towards the hallway. “All ready.” Looking back, she drew away from the sill quickly. “I think that’s his car.” 
Automatically, Max bent down to address the child, knowing full-well the shirt would likely be covered in food by the end of the day, but appreciating the amusingly formal attire Cassandra had picked out for him. Despite his age, it already suited him and he undeniably looked stylish, or as stylish as it was possible for a three year old to look. “Are you ready to go?” He asked with a smile, an exaggerated excitement evident in his tone. 
The child grinned, clutching his hands together at his chest. “Yes!”
His expression was contagious and Max smoothed his dark hair lightly, teasing a curl. “Good boy. You’ll be good for your dad won’t you?”
His arms outstretched, holding them out to the taller gentleman. “Daddy!”
Max’s expression softened as Cassandra moved between them, reaching for his hand and steering her son towards the hallway. 
“Daddy’s waiting outside for you.” She corrected, giving Max a knowing look as he held back, allowing her to answer the door. He busied himself in the living room as he heard the twist and click of the lock, wanting to give them some privacy. There was a clutter of toys on the floor and he scooped them up one by one as Cassandra’s voice drifted through the gap in the door. 
“He’s got everything he needs.”
“How’s he been?” A familiar voice said, stifled a little by the sound of the street outside as a car drove past. 
 “...up all night. You’ll probably get some quiet time.” She sounded tired and Max wondered whether that had been the primary cause for her anxious demeanour this morning. After making them breakfast she had been pacing a little, running her hands through her long locks as she watched the clock. Then again, they hadn’t been on a date in god knows how long, if ever. He wasn’t sure whether those brief coffee breaks had counted as dates, while Cassandra watched Gabriel in the play area of the cafe with one eye. Nor those classes he ran after hours, where they both had time to talk, while the baby, only a year old at the time, had sat asleep in his car seat in the corner; tucked in tightly the way he liked which seemed to prevent him from waking up and crying. Being alone together was a luxury they had only been granted recently, while his father took him out for the day, and often it involved them cleaning the house before crashing on the sofa together until it was time to pick him up. Overnight stays had been a lifesaver, allowing Cassandra the time to sleep off her exhaustion from the day before and giving them a chance to be intimate. She had been cautious at first, worrying the child would ask for her and not wanting to leave him for so long, but she had been getting better at that. Taehyung was reassuring and Gabriel always returned with a smile on his face. Perhaps she was fretting needlessly. 
“Has he eaten?” Max heard the man say, but her reply was cut off by another passing car.
“...some snacks.” She paused. “Just wait until he’s hungry.”
He could almost picture the man’s sombre nod, he always seemed so serious. “I got a new car seat.”
“Good, he was outgrowing the old one.” 
Max detected the small smile in her voice before she hesitated, growing quiet. 
“Is that her?”
He didn’t hear the response but his ears pricked up interestedly, suspecting he knew who she was talking about. He was a little surprised; the other man only spoke of her briefly during conversations and she had never, to his knowledge, accompanied him on his visits. 
“Is she shy?” Cassandra asked, not unkindly. 
“...better if she waited.” Taehyung said, the first half of the sentence obscured and lost as the pair moved away from the doorway and into the street. 
“I don’t bite.” Cassandra said softly, her voice clearer; the lilting rises and falls of her accent more familiar to him. “She can come and say hello.”
The door was left open but he could no longer hear the exchange as they seemingly walked away, towards the car. Max considered moving to the window to catch a glimpse of the young woman in question; suddenly curious as to what she looked like, but decided against it, distracted instead by the throw on the sofa which had come loose from its tucked-in confines and the scatter of pillows which had fallen to the floor. When he straightened up, satisfied the room looked presentable, Cassandra’s voice returned as she handed the other man the small rucksack she had packed earlier. 
“Have fun…” She said gently, the tone of her voice unreadable among the background noise, followed by the sound of the door closing. He turned to the hallway door as she walked into the room, his eyes drawn to the fabric of her dress which wrapped around her body elegantly. The belt, tightly drawn in accentuated her hips and bust; the small glimmer of cleavage attractive and a little sexy. It was different to what she usually wore around the house; though her plain blue jeans always seemed sexy to him too, in an understated way. He sometimes wondered how she managed to pull them off so effortlessly. She smiled appreciatively, noticing he had tidied up, and he felt a shift in her mood. Perhaps having Gabriel dressed and out of the house had put her more at ease. 
“Do you want to get changed?” He asked cheerfully, feeling his own emotions lifting along with hers. 
She looked down, brushing the edge of the fabric with her long, spindly fingers. “Should I dress up?” Her eyebrows knitted together and he shook his head softly. 
“I was thinking you might want to wear something you don’t mind getting messy.” He clarified.
Her smile widened. “I don’t tend to get messy.”
Max laughed, walking over and talking her hand in his. “But I’m not so good.” He admitted. “You can wear something of mine.”
She hesitated, fingers loosely wrapped around his, but eventually she nodded. “If you insist.”
***
She had taken him up on the offer and paired one of his plain, band tees with her dark skinny jeans; hair tied back in a long ponytail to keep it out of the way. Max had been grateful, when his first attempt on the wheel had caused somewhat of a mess to the point he drew away from the spinning device and turned his attention instead to creating something a little more modest. Cassandra peered at the table in front of them with an amused smile.“What’s that supposed to be?”
He looked up, moving his palms away from the clay so she could see. “A turtle.” He blinked seriously. “Can’t you tell?”
She laughed at his expression as it changed, dropping the act. “Maybe if I squint.”
His smile widened and he leaned over to peck her cool cheek, lips tingling at the contact. “You’re too cruel…”
She turned her attention back to the wheel which she started again with a press on the pedal, smoothing the edges of the pot artfully and with an ease he admired. “It’s head looks kind of phallic.” She added mischievously, casting a playful glance in his direction.
He sighed dramatically, eyeing the misshapen lump between his hands with mock disappointment. “Maybe you’re right.”
Her eyebrow crooked. “An ex lover perhaps?”
He grinned easily. “Never this crooked.” He admitted, turning his attention to her as he watched her hands move, almost sensually, along the vase she was creating. It was beautiful to see, how it formed so easily beneath her palms, like she had been doing it all her life. “Have you seen one like this?” He cheerfully asked, a little mockingly. 
She shook her head, turning to face him dead on. “Not for a while.”
His head snapped back in laughter, causing a few glances from the opposite side of the room where a few students worked at their own wheels, thankfully at a distance where he doubted they could overhear their conversation. He vaguely wondered if they could speak English. He noticed that despite their formal overgarments, their skill paled in comparison to hers and he voiced his approval happily. “Yours is coming out beautifully.” The corners of her lips upturned in a thankful smile and he pressed on. “I’ll get you some flowers.”
“Thank you.” She murmured gently. “It’ll be spring soon. Tulips would be nice.”
The sound of her voice made his stomach warm pleasantly and he edged his seat a little closer to her. “You’re good with the wheel.”
She paused her movement, bringing the wheel to a stop as she offered him a place. “Why don’t you have a go?”
He paused, a timid smile on his lips. “You saw my attempt earlier...”
Reaching down, she moved the stool aside, giving him room. “I’ll show you…” She protested lightly. “Sit here.”
Hesitantly, he moved the small stool in front of her and sat down, realising he was blocking her view and moving aside a little to give her space beside him. Her hands moved to his, touching them gently as she moved them towards the tall vase, its sloping curves almost echoing her own, and encouraged him to press down with a little more force than he expected. Feeling more secure, he activated the pedal which allowed the smooth clay to spin between his palms, allowing her to guide his hands where needed. They fell silent for a moment; the low chatter from across the room fading into the background, though he noticed a few quick glances in their direction. Perhaps his appearance was novel to them; an unusually tall, pale-haired man with the first, stubbly shadow of a beard being led by a woman who managed to make a pair of jeans look like the epitome of fashion. 
“Isn’t this romantic?” She commented, a little dreamily, breaking his trail of thought.
He looked up, a shy smile on his lips. “Maybe if we were alone.”
“They aren’t paying attention.” She dismissed, moving his hands down smoothly; the clay running slipperily between their connected fingers.
“I’ve got it.” He reassured, encouraging her to move away as he took hold of the vase and continued to shape it on his own. She moved back, and he thought he sensed a twinge of disappointment in her expression. Either way, it quickly disappeared as she adjusted the stool next to the table and picked up the diformed turtle distractedly. 
“I used to have my own wheel…” She said quietly, thinking. “I don’t know what happened to it.”
He slowed down his movement, bringing the machinery to a stop before looking at her. “Maybe you could get another.”
She shrugged, looking disinterestedly at the object in her hand. “I was attached to my old one…they are quite expensive.”
“Did you make many things?” He asked. 
She was quiet for a moment, before shaking her head to herself. “I must have misplaced them.” 
The sound of footsteps made them both turn towards the female instructor who walked past their table, signalling she was ready to collect the vase. 
“When will they be ready?” Cassandra asked politely in Korean. 
“You can collect next week.” The older woman replied, allowing Max to give her space as she worked on the wheel. 
“Why does it take so long?” Max asked Cassandra, sticking with English.
“They have to allow it to dry.” She explained in Korean, almost automatically. 
“If you want to glaze it you can attend our class next week.” The lady offered. 
Cassandra turned to Max hopefully. “That would be nice.” She gestured towards the table, picking up a small ball of the dough-like substance and kneading it against the table with her fingers. “We still have a little left. I might make something quickly.” 
Sensing the removal of the vase would take more time than anticipated, Max got up from the chair, allowing the instructor to sit down as she worked on trimming the edges around the bottom with a little wooden tool while he went to wash his hands in the large basin at the other side of the room. Looking down, he observed he had been right to dress down that day; his old jeans were covered in clay and he hoped he had remembered to pack some black garbage bags in the trunk of his car to line the seats when they returned home. Cassandra was chatting away to the instructor as she shaped the ball of clay with her hands, crafting it into a round dish and using a flat-edged tool to create a pattern around the rim. He took his time at the sink, making sure he cleaned his fingernails with the brush at the back before finally heading back towards Cassandra who looked at him with a pleased smile.
“What is it?” He asked. 
She shrugged. “Just for trinkets. I like the edges.”
He peered at the pot amusedly. “An ashtray.” He commented, making her laugh. 
“I haven’t seen those for a while.” 
He shrugged. “Maybe you could start a business.”
She raised an eyebrow to herself, quickly finishing the last of the waved grooves in the brim “How very 90s…”
He took a spare seat beside her. “Are you having fun?”
“Yes.” She looked at him happily. “Are you?”
He smirked. “I think you are better than me.”
“That doesn’t matter.” She dismissed gently and he could see she meant it. His chest once again seemed warm beneath the surface of his skin as he realised how happy she seemed to be in the studio. He remembered seeing that look when they first met; how he had noticed it among his other students; her standing out like a bright star as she painted with the baby on her lap. “It’s nice being out together.” She continued. “Maybe you could start pottery classes at your art centre. That way we could come more often.” Cassandra asked hopefully. 
“Mmm.” He murmured, appreciating her suggestion but already thinking of the mess he would have to clean up once the clay ended up in the more unskilled hands of his usual patrons. Looking back, he could see she had already turned her attention back to the sleek trinket tray which she was studying with interest. 
“I think I’ll take this one home.” She murmured, getting slowly to her feet. 
He picked up his own design, which seemed lumpy and juvenile in comparison. “Do you think Gabriel will like this?”
“The penis turtle?” She quipped dryly. 
He smiled good naturedly. “Maybe he could paint it.”
Cassandra nodded. “That’s very sweet of you.”
***
Max had been waiting for her to finish her shower while he got changed into the clothes he had neatly folded in the bottom of her wardrobe. While he had not yet leased his apartment on the other side of town, he found himself staying with her more often than not, and the tall, flatpack piece of furniture was large enough to store both of their clothes along with some of Gabriel’s which no longer fit. Leaning back against the headboard, he checked his watch and was surprised to find it was only four in the afternoon. He had been up early to run the breakfast club at his centre, before returning home once the schools kicked in, and he felt drowsy from the long day. He closed his eyes against the bright light drifting through the window, napping lightly while he waited for Cassandra who he thought was taking longer than usual to clean herself up. Then again, she had been a little more enthusiastic with the clay than he was. 
The sound of the bedroom door opening caught his attention and he looked up from the pillow, first noticing her shapely silhouette before his eyes focussed and he realised she was clothed in lingerie; an ivory bralette and suspender belt hugged her curves, while her legs were stockinged in sheer material; the garter a jewel-toned green which complimented the silk robe she wore loosely around her shoulders. The attire was old fashioned, but undeniably sexy; he had seen nothing like it, but she pulled it off as she had done the pottery; with an ease and comfort only she could. He was unable to help his grin as she walked towards the bed, her long, wavy hair framing her face and body as she came to a halt. 
“Wow!” He exclaimed, resting his weight on his elbows as he sat up. 
Her fingers touched the edge of the robe, easing it away from her breasts. “Do you like it?”
“I can’t wait to take it off.” He let out a long breath, already feeling himself stir as she paused at the foot of the bed, a smile tugging on her lips. 
“I thought you might like to see me in it longer.” She shrugged.
 Max laughed softly, adjusting his position to sit comfortably against the headboard. “Your body is too beautiful.” He explained, holding out his arms when she finally crawled on the duvet, welcoming her body in an embrace. She straddled his hips and he kissed her, opening his lips against hers as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck. 
“I’ve had a nice day.” She mused, pulling away to look at him. He captured her cheek in his palm, nodding.
“Me too.” He whispered, one hand moving to cup her covered breast tenderly. “I think it could get better…” 
She smiled, leaning into his touch as he squeezed down; her nipple hard beneath the silky material as they kissed once more. He felt her tongue touch his lip and he opened his mouth invitingly, brushing it with his own as she rocked gently in his lap, encouraging him to swell in the tight confines of his jeans. He let out a groan and moved his other hand to her bra, massaging both breasts with his long fingers as he pushed them together before reaching around, beneath the robe, to unfasten the clasp. The material dropped between her arms and he felt beneath to touch her skin, brushing her nipples with the pads of his thumbs as she gasped into his mouth. Almost desperately, he eased the thin material from her shoulders and removed it along with her bra, dropping them both to the floor. The coolness of the room hit her skin and she pulled away; light goose pimples visible on her bare arms as she stopped her movement against him.
“I don’t think…” She started, speaking almost in a whisper. “I can’t remember taking my pill.” 
There was a sense of urgency to her voice that encouraged him to move away from her breasts, instead placing his hands firmly against her waist. He thought for a moment, a frown burrowing across his features, before he nodded. “You did.”
She hesitated, biting her lip anxiously and shook her head. “I don’t remember…” She admitted, almost defeatedly. “I was packing.” She explained. 
He thought back to this morning, trying to replay the scene as he got home from work and watched her get dressed. “I’m sure you did.” His forehead wrinkled, though he felt certain he had seen her take it. 
She fell silent for a moment, before murmuring apprehensively: “Do you have a condom?”
He looked around automatically, eyes moving to the bedside table. “Somewhere.”
She nodded in relief. “I just want to be safe.”
“Of course.”
She pulled away, moving her weight from him as she got off the bed and searched through the chest of draws, raking through bobby pins and half-filled pots of moisturiser before she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a single packet, holding it delicately as she returned to the bed, dropping it on the covers where she could reach it again. “Do you mind?” She asked, looking straight at him. He sensed the worry in her voice and shook his head easily, confused as to why she would ask. 
“Why would I mind?” He shrugged. 
Satisfied, she smiled; changing her expression as she gestured to him with a single index finger. “Come here…” He sat up, moving forwards to grasp her hips and kiss her passionately as her palm brushed the centre of his crotch. “You’re so hard.” She whispered breathily against his lips, her voice sensual as she squeezed the shape a little roughly. 
Max groaned, allowing her to unfasten the button which tied the material together. “You make me hard.” He admitted, lying back when she started work on the second button and eased the fabric away from his waist, pulling his jeans down enough to free his underwear which bulged heavily beneath her touch. Looking up, she met his gaze; tilting her face at an angle which made him twitch. 
“Do you want my lips?” She asked, tugging eagerly at the waistband. He nodded, mouth parted as she freed him and wasted no time in wrapping her lips tightly around his reddened tip; her tongue getting to work on licking the precum which was seeping from him. His groans changed pitch at the contact, becoming almost a whine as she massaged the head with the flat side of her tongue; grasping him firmly in her hand which she twisted against her mouth. His groans turned to a series of pants as he watched her take him in more deeply, moving down his shaft which disappeared an inch at a time into her warmth. Almost guiltily, he uttered a cry, signalling he was about to overboil and she quickly withdrew, lightening her grasp and pulling away to remove her suspenders. The clasp on her garter belt was fiddly and Max took the time to calm down, grounding himself by looking away as she slid the sheer stockings down her legs and folded them neatly at the foot of the bed. 
When he turned back, his breaths finally slowing, she was unwrapping the condom, tearing the packet carefully and unravelling it from its confines. He eyed her carefully, not wanting to get too worked up again, but couldn’t help casting a glance over her long legs, now bare, and the space between her thighs, where her dark pubic hair stood out against her otherwise pale skin. He sighed as she reached for him, pinching the tip of the condom and rolling it down with a firm hand. 
“You should let me kiss you…” He protested, eyes still fixed on her cunt. She smiled, moving closer as she edged her body over his lower half. 
“I want your cock.” She whispered, taking him in one hand while the other gently parted her lips. He watched, almost in fascination, as she lowered herself against him; his tip and shaft slowly disappearing into her warmth as she moved down, eyes tightly closed and mouth parted at the sensation. He threw his head back, partially in response to the sight of her biting her lip which sent a shiver down his spine and a moment later, she moved against him; raising her hips as she fucked him. “Do I feel good?” She asked, watching him lay back against the pillows; the sensation overwhelming.
“Yes.” He groaned, brow furrowing as she switched movements and began rocking against him, grinding her clitoris as her own breath grew heavy. He couldn’t pull his eyes from her as she worked herself to orgasm, letting out a few cries as her eyes bolted shut. A blush spread across her cheeks and bare chest; the contractions of her walls pulsating against him, squeezing him through the condom until he couldn’t take it anymore. With a cry of his own, much louder than hers, he felt himself let go; a sharp, shooting sensation milking him of his energy as he came inside the condom. Cassandra helped him ride it out, not moving against him until he sucked in his breath, a little sensitive as he felt himself soften inside her. 
“You’re so beautiful.” He whispered breathily as she carefully moved up, pinching the base of his cock lightly between two fingers as he slipped out of her, almost regretfully. 
“Was it good?” She murmured, allowing him to remove the condom while she sat back on her knees. 
“It always is.” He nodded, knotting the slippery latex and discarding it with some energy in the trash can across the room. He looked back as she stepped off the bed, fully nude and glowing with her blush. Max joined her side, kissing her lips lovingly. “I’m so lucky.”
Cassandra watched as he pulled away and sleepily perched on the edge of the bed. “I should go pee.” She mumbled, leaving him alone in the room while he rubbed his tired eyes, trying to focus on the room but failing massively. He heard the sound of the chain flushing, followed by the running of the bathroom tap and he leaned back against the covers, tucking his legs onto the bed. His cock, now deflated, lay slightly curved against his thigh as he settled against the covers, closing his eyes for just a moment. 
The sound of the draws opening beneath the wardrobe made him open them again as Cassandra slipped into a fresh pair of underwear; plain black and unfussy. 
“Are you napping?” She smirked, looking up. 
He nodded lazily, holding out his arms. “Join me.” He gently urged. “It’s been a long day.” Before he had time to see her response, his eyes had already shut, though he felt her weight against him some minutes later; her body warm and soft as she turned away to face the magnolia wall. He thought about spooning her, though couldn’t be sure whether his arm had actually moved before sleep enveloped him, drawing him down into the darkness. 
Unlike Max, her orgasm; a little forced but pleasurable nonetheless, had caused her body to waken even more and she watched the shadows on the wall move with interest as the sun slowly changed positions in the sky; moving down as twilight drew near. His gentle snores eventually started behind her and she tucked herself closer to him, feeling his chest against her back; urging herself to join Max and to make the most of being able to sleep without the bedroom door creaking open every few hours as Gabriel tried to crawl into bed with her. It was sweet really, but meant she was only getting a few hours of shut eye at a time, and eventually he would have to learn how to sleep quietly on his own. Her mind turned to Taehyung and she wondered if he ever let Gabriel sleep in bed with him, or if it was only her who got the unique pleasure of interrupted nap time. Her mind pondered the thought for some time as Max shifted against her, adjusting his position before falling back asleep. She could feel his cock against her; stiffening in the place where it met her lower back, though her acknowledgement of it was vague. The wispy hairs on her arms and legs were raised in the cool temperature of the bedroom as the sun started to set, and she automatically hugged herself tighter, placing her hands between the warmth of her thighs, against the curls of her hair, as her mind drifted. 
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to her that Taehyung let Gabriel sleep with him. After all, he satisfied his every other whim. The thought should have made her angry; after all, he often went against her wishes when it came to treating him to things she herself had forbidden. Chocolate, it seemed, was never off the menu in the Kim household, nor were expensive gifts or trips to the zoo. But instead, there was something comforting about it. At the very least it meant he wasn’t immune to his tantrums and demands. Sometimes having a small child felt like she was being held captive by some miniature monster who wanted to cause her as much stress as was humanly possible. But also, she loved him, and wouldn’t have changed that, she realised, even if she had done certain things differently.
Wide awake, her mind continued to turn and she realised, somewhat reluctantly, that wherever Max had gone, she wouldn’t be able to follow any time soon. With some effort, she got to her feet and padded, light-footedly, across the floor towards the wardrobe, opening it as quietly as possible where she found the dress she had worn earlier, before she had been talked into changing, folded haphazardly on the bottom shelf. She slipped on a bra, followed by the dress and, realising how cold she was, reached for the silk robe lying on the wooden floor. 
Behind her, Max stirred once more, rolling over on his side and giving a disgruntled snort. Her stomach churned guilty as she thought of him waking up alone, wondering where she was, and she padded back over to him lightly, giving his bare shoulder a gentle squeeze. “Max?” She whispered, having to repeat herself and tighten her grip a little before he grunted in response. “I’m going out for a bit.” She murmured, keeping her voice low. 
He opened one eye groggily, offering a small moan. “Do you want me to go with you?” He eventually asked, voice thick and gruff. 
“No…” She let go of his shoulder, wrapping the robe around her body. “You sleep.” 
***
The traffic seemed to match her mood; absent and distant. She drove carefully, though got to her destination quicker than anticipated, looking around as she locked the car and walked around the corner. The porch had been painted since her last visit, some time ago, and she looked at the wooden reliefs with curiosity; the floral shapes tipped with subtle goldleaf in places where it had no right to be. Only someone eccentric or incredibly rich would choose such decoration in Seoul; it looked as though it belonged in some Georgian country house in the heart of Derbyshire. Still, the woodwork was undoubtedly oriental in design, and true to its origin. Perhaps the architect would have approved of the change. Her knock was light, and she wondered if he would hear it in such a lofty place. The walls were thick and ceilings tall in his house; just as he liked them. Music was bound to echo tirelessly. Still, she waited before trying again, a little apprehensive at showing up unannounced and wondering if he might still be out at the park with Da-eun; the small, politely timid girl she had met earlier. For the first time that evening, the thought became solid in her mind and suddenly her chest sank. She hadn’t considered she might be interrupting them and she almost turned to go, tucking her little handbag beneath her armpit, when the door opened softly behind her. 
“Cass?” His voice was low and cast in doubt and she turned back, seeing him through the small crack in the door which he widened at once, revealing himself fully to her. He had changed since earlier. His black t-shirt was remarkably casual and at once familiar; the Joy Division print on the front one he had worn countless times before, when they first met. She wondered how he had somehow managed to keep hold of it, while all her belongings seemed to grow lost as easily as odd socks in the washing machine. He stepped aside. “What are you doing here?” Looking around, he gestured to her. “Quick, come in.” 
She hesitated, almost frozen by the panic in his voice, before following him inside where he shut the door heavily. At once, she looked around - finding the hallway decor likewise unfamiliar. “Am I interrupting?” She asked. The gentle sound of music drifted from a distant room, signalling a moment disrupted, but he seemed confused by her comment. 
“What?”
“Is Da-eun still here?” She clarified. 
Realising what she meant, he shook his head. “She went home.” He confirmed, voice softening a little to match hers, though still laced with paranoia. “Are you alone?”
“Max is asleep.” She nodded, watching as his eyes moved across her robe where her hands were folded against her, still a little cold from the chilly evening air. 
He frowned. “You know that’s not what I mean.”
“I didn’t see anyone.” She confirmed, a little stubbornly. Her stomach seemed to churn at the tone of his voice, knowing he was protective but finding it all too much. 
“I have neighbours Cass.” He hissed loudly. 
She turned to him, eyes fixed against his as she raised her own voice. “And don’t you trust them?” 
He sighed, realising what was happening and letting it go. Arguing with her now was the last thing he wanted to do and he lowered his voice, hovering awkwardly in the long hallway. “That’s not the point…” His folded arms mirrored her movement. “If there was a problem you could have called me. I’d have come.” 
They fell silent, facing each other before she turned to the floor, realising she would have to explain her unexpected visit. He was waiting patiently, looking down at her until she spoke. “I just miss him.” She untucked her arms, looking up to read his expression. 
Taehyung blinked, eyelashes long. “He’s asleep.” He murmured, almost apologetically. 
“Oh…” She uttered, suddenly feeling at a loss. 
Taehyung was silent for a while, before he turned towards the hall. “You’re here now.” He accepted, walking down the corridor without looking to see if she would follow. It wasn’t until they reached the door at the end she realised she had even moved. He pushed lightly on the wood and the music grew louder as he led her into the sitting room, where the space was cast in shadows by the two dimly lit lamps in each corner. 
“Da-eun went home?” She asked again.
He nodded. “It’s her dad’s birthday.”
She saw the source of the tinny jazz; a record player, old and surprisingly battered, perched upon a table too small for it, beside the recognisable sofa where Taehyung had clearly been sitting. He moved aside the paperback on the chair to give her room, but she waited, looking around the space as she set her bag softly down on the floor.
“Did she get on with Gabriel?” Cassandra asked with some curiosity, eyes drawn to the busy wallpaper which seemed to cascade rather than hang across the room. 
His lips twitched in a smirk. “Like a house on fire.”
She nodded with a smile, not really hearing him. “That’s good…you finished your decorating.”
He looked up, blinking. “Do you like it?”
She nodded. “It’s William Morris isn’t it?”
“I thought it would go with the curtains.” He confirmed, drawing her eye to the heavy, thickly lined drapes. She walked over to them, touching the fabric in appreciation. They were coloured a deep, almost tarnished gold; tied back with thick ropes which added to the look.
“They’re beautiful.” She nodded, slowly walking back across the room. 
He watched her closely, eyebrows furrowed. “I could get you some.”
A doubtful sort of smile tugged at her lips as she joined his side, pausing a moment, before sitting on the colourful fabric. “I think they’re a little old fashioned for Max’s taste.” Cassandra admitted sheepishly. “He likes a more…” She tried to think of the word in Korean. “Contemporary look.”
“Sterile?” He offered seriously, and reluctantly she gave a smile, biting the inside of her cheek. 
“You could say that…”
They fell silent for a moment, keeping a distance between them, though the stray thread in the middle of the tapestry pattern kept her distracted. She tried hard not to tug at it. 
“How was your date?” He asked softly. 
“Fine…” She turned to him. “How was yours?”
He gave a small laugh, thinking for a moment. “Our son did most of the entertaining.”
She nodded, looking up automatically, to where he was sleeping above their heads. “I was looking forward to getting to know her a little better.” Cassandra admitted. 
“I think she was nervous to meet you.” He said gently, making her turn back towards him.  
“Me?” She frowned. “Why?”
He grew silent, casting his eyes to the wooden floor before shrugging. “Maybe I left it too long.” 
She sensed a touch of regret in his voice, and she touched his hand briefly, encouraging his gaze back to her. “I hope she knows I mean no harm.” Her voice was quiet, almost a whisper and his eyes met hers as they both stopped talking. The sound of jazz played in the background, turned down and not distracting from the otherwise silent room. She tucked a strand of hair neatly behind her ear, a question seeming to tingle on her tongue until she allowed it to escape. “Have you?” She asked cryptically, not needing to finish. 
He nodded, his dark eyes cast in shadow by his long lashes in the softly lit room. “Yeah.” He admitted. 
She didn’t know what answer she had expected, or whether she should have been surprised. Without thinking, her fingers moved to the stray strand on the sofa, running it absently between her fingers. His eyes followed her movement, knowing she probably hadn’t noticed, and he got slowly to his feet. 
“Did you want a drink?” He asked. 
Cassandra looked up and nodded. “Tea.”
She waited patiently for him to finish in the kitchen, watching the record spinning softly on the deck and wondering where he had picked up such a battered looking thing, before she remembered her bag. When he came back in the room, holding the small china mug carefully between his fingers, she was reaching into the tote and pulled out the small dish. “I made you something.” She said, holding it out to him once he set down the mug on the floor, finding there was no room on the table. “You’ll have to cure it yourself, do you still know that man with the kiln?”
He took it from her with both hands, turning it over but holding it with an appreciative delicacy.  “What is it?”
“Max and I took a pottery class.” She offered in explanation. “I thought you could keep it on your vanity.”
He ran his fingers carefully along the edged rim, before setting it aside on the floor, careful to keep it away from where it might be trodden on. “Thank you.” He said, watching as she reached for her cup and blew on the liquid gently. “Did you want to take him back with you?” He asked, suspecting that this might be the purpose for her visit. He tried to hide the disappointment in his voice, but she shook her head, surprising him. 
“No…I don’t want to disturb him.” She said. “It’s your time with him.”
He nodded thankfully. “I wish you could come around more…see his nursery.” Taehyung admitted, realising she had not seen it finished. 
She looked at him beneath, a little blankly. “It’s you that’s paranoid.” Cassandra took a sip of the fragrant liquid, thankful for its warmth. 
“For good reason.” He reiterated. 
She shook her head. “You shouldn’t punish yourself.” She sighed. “We both made the baby.”
Her words made him fall silent and he sat back as she drank from the cup, his own fingers finding the stray strand as easily as hers had, and plucking it absently. “There’s a spare bedroom, if you ever wanted to stay.” He eventually said, wondering why he had never thought of it before. 
“Max too?” She peered at him. 
He nodded calmly. “Yes.”
Not knowing how to respond, she set the finished mug back on the floor, sitting back. “Maybe I could have you and Da-eun around too.” She suggested. “For dinner.”
“If you’d like.” He nodded. 
Cassandra watched him get to his feet as he picked up the ceramic pot and walked over to the table in the corner, setting it down next to an oval-shaped mirror. She suspected she might have overstayed her welcome, but found herself finally starting to tire. The sofa was comfortable, despite its age, and the song on the player was one she vaguely recognised though couldn’t quite place. “What’s this one?” She asked, gesturing towards the device when Taehyung looked her way. 
“Do you not like it?” He asked, moving to turn it off. Despite being upbeat, the song seemed a little melancholy and reminded her of the past. She wondered if she might have heard it back in Belgium. Her parents liked to play jazz and there had been one bar they enjoyed frequenting with her which played it incessantly, allowing her a solitary sip of wine despite her young age. 
“Leave it.” She requested, waving her hand dismissively. There was something nostalgic about it, and she felt her heart begin to race, almost in excitement. She could imagine people dancing to it during the war; carefully-patched dresses and painted-on stockings filling a simple looking dancefloor as the women waited for the men to return home. 
The music swayed in a quickening beat, and Taehyung smiled in acknowledgement. “It’s one of my favourites.” He admitted, hesitating, before moving his arms in time to the music. She laughed softly, realising he was dancing to it, a little bashfully at first, before becoming less self conscious. He moved across the room, feet tapping against the hardwood floor as he gestured for her to join him. She smiled, shaking her head. 
“It’s been a while since I danced.” She admitted, though took his hand when he offered it and got to her feet. He moved his shoulders, letting go of her as he moved back across the floor. “I’m not joining in!” She warned, unable to help the smile in her voice at her second hand embarrassment. Had they been in public, she’d have chastised him for such shamelessly cringey moves, though being alone made it all the more awkward. 
“You always join in.” He teased, and she sighed heavily, realising that if history was anything to go by, he was right. There was never a time where she had passed up the opportunity to dance when the occasion or track called for it. 
“Am I that predictable?” She asked, making him cock an eyebrow knowingly. The music grew faster as the trumpets pumped along with the honky-tonk piano and she found herself moving along with him, bending her knees a little as she moved her arms in time with his, removing the robe and dropping it to the sofa to allow more movement. Like him, she felt embarrassed at first, but his own lack of awareness inspired her, and soon she was spinning on the spot, swaying her head and moving her hips. 
He kept his distance for a while, but the crashing conclusion almost begged for a spin and she offered her hand to him, allowing him to twirl her around until she felt dizzy. Her laughter filled the room as the song switched over, the upbeat sound replaced with something a little more slow and dreamy. He hushed her, pressing his finger to his own lips, though he was laughing too. “You’ll wake the baby.” 
She calmed down, fixing a strand of hair that had fallen from behind her ear, tucking it back in neatly. “He’s not a baby anymore.” She admitted, a little soberly. 
Taehyung’s smile dropped along with hers, though his expression was soft. “He’ll always be my baby.”
She nodded. “Mine too.”
Her breathing a little heavy, she turned towards the sofa, sitting down heavily and smoothing down the front of her dress, tucking it between her knees. He watched her, their faces equally flushed with warmth. “Do you want another?” He eventually asked, not knowing why. 
Cassandra looked at him, knowing at once what he meant and thinking for a long time. “I don’t know.” She eventually said. 
The room suddenly seemed more dim and he looked to the window, where an overgrown tree mostly blocked the view to the outside world. The sky had grown dark and it looked cold outside, a direct contrast to the glowing warmth and cosiness within the room. “Won’t Max be wondering where you are?” He asked quietly, making her follow his gaze. 
She slowly nodded, giving an involuntary shiver. “I should probably go.” She slipped the garment over her shoulders, hugging it closely to her as she got to her feet and collected her bag, suddenly realising she had no idea why she had come in the first place. Looking at Taehyung, she recognised he too was asking the same question, and she found herself awkwardly feeling a little stupid.
“I’ll kiss Gabriel for you.” He reassured her, waiting for her to lead the way. 
She nodded gratefully. “Let me know when you’re ready to bring him back.”
Realising he was waiting for her to make the first move, she stepped out of the room and walked down the hall, trailing her small bag absently behind her until she reached the door and turned back. 
“Be careful driving.” He warned and she knew he was talking about more than just the traffic. 
“I will.”
He smiled, opening the door for her. “I love the ashtray.”
Looking down at her feet, her cheeks reddened but she laughed in response. “It wasn’t supposed to be an ashtray.” She admitted. 
“I’m sure I can find a use for it.” He touched her shoulder lightly before pulling away.
“Thanks for the company.” She nodded. 
“You’re welcome.”

Alec tugged at the front of Max's sailor suit. "That's a lot of ribbons there, buddy." Max nodded sadly.
"Too much ribbons."
"What happened to your sweater?"
"That's a fine question, Alexander. Allow me to unfold to you the tale. Max rolled his sweater in cat litter," Magnus related. "So he could look like daddy. Thus he must wear the sailor suit of shame. I don't make the rules. Oh, wait, yes, I do." He waved a reproving finger at Max, who laughed again and tried to grab for the glitter of rings.

Look I'm just gonna continue the chain - if your OCs were given the choice to swap with mine, who would they choose?
This one should be easy because you have way less OCs than I do so I'm just going to match as many OCs as you have so the answers don't get too repetitive
Liah chooses to swap places with Mira, since she's used to taking care of a non-human body and she'd be scared to severely injure a human by doing something that her normal body wouldn't be able to handle.
Cassandra switches with Rae. Her shields are extremely useful, and Cassandra, being an extremely pragmatic person, would only want to switch places with someone who had a good power set.
Meredith chooses to switch places with Robin- after all, she's been nearly totally deaf her whole life, and it wouldn't particularly like to be overwhelmed by a completely new sense.
Max chooses to swap places with Madison- he's always wanted superpowers, and having venom and turning invisible sounds like a great way to take out some billionaires and redistribute their wealth.
Siv would switch places with Ophelia, since she knows Ophelia's always wanted superpowers anyway, she can have fun in Siv's body. Meanwhile, Siv relishes in the fact that they can finally reach the top shelf and she grabs down anything from where they can't reach before they have to turn back.
Athena would love to swap places with Eris, since she's definitely the most chaotic figure in her universe, and living as a being who thrives with that chaos would be ideal for her. Have fun dealing with Athena's absolutely horrendous reputation, Eris.
Khalil would switch with Nikoletta, mainly because he'd be curious to see how her shadow magic differed from his own. Nikoletta could enjoy being able to touch things without being worried about spreading her shadows onto them (my recommendation? she should go visit and pet Jay's therapy dog, Stella)
Pyrrha would probably choose to switch places with Indigo, since I don't think she'd particularly want to go to a universe that was too different to her own. She'd probably also enjoy having a full sense of touch again too.
Torryn would swap places with AJ, since they're already pretty used to living with one eye (technically he can see with both eyes, but their left eye is like a glowing ice blue so he covers it with an eyepatch in order to stay under the radar). He'd also prefer to stay in the body of someone who's used to doing undercover work and all the stunts necessary to do so- Torryn as a secret agent, and AJ as an assassin.
Pippa switches places with Quinn, for completely altruistic reasons, because Quinn in Pippa's body will get a taste of what being a speedster in the best shape of her life is like. Quinn might have a little trouble adjusting to Pippa's body proportions (short and stout rather than tall and lanky), but I think she'd enjoy it.
Onnie would want to switch places with Katherine, solely for Katherine's connection with the gods. Onnie would love to manipulate the hell out of that, fuelling their own god complex even further. Have fun with eldritch horror powers, Katherine.
Jay would love to swap places with Jasper, but only with their consent, since Jay's physically disabled, but he would love to be in a body that was free from pain for once, and he'd probably end up doing a lot of good with Jasper's empath abilities.
Hailey would want to switch with Prometheus, since as a dream, Prometheus is vaguely similar to Hailey's ghostly status, and it would be really hard for her to adapt to being in a living person's body again.
Arya would probably want to switch places with Kestrel, since they honestly couldn't imagine living without the ability to shapeshift whenever they feel the need to. They'd probably use it as an opportunity to look for other Fae creatures, since they haven't talked to anyone from their realm in centuries.

Your top 5 non-canon ships on this blog😁
I dunno if it's okay to include the OC ships. I'm assuming it is because that technically counts as non canon and considering you're saying on this blog specifically, of course I'm gonna.
(Ranked from Most Fave to Least Fave)
Number 1 - Daximus. This ship makes me FERAL, I fucking love them. Arguably the healthiest ship on this blog, too. Like Daniela and Max have open communication, they cater to each other, there's no feeling of "One protects the other", they put in equal effort. (Plus their Start Point to Relationship timeline is my favourite)
Number 2 - Zia. A classic. Two women just trying to live their lives during/after a horrifically traumatic event. I love this ship. It's full of angst and major hurt/comfort. I have so many thoughts about it. Plus I just think Mia and Zoe are cute together and I'm upset they don't really get to speak to one another in canon. (I like to think they were talking while Lucas had them tied up in the boat house).
Number 3 - Miacina. The classic. The ship that started me on this crusade and still goes hard. Love it. It's cute, it's sweet, and I think Alcina deserves a wife and so does Mia. I forget… why I started shipping them, but that doesn't matter. Has kind of a strange "Beauty and the Beast" vibe imo. Also lets Mia have a bit of a corruption arch (very attractive) (On par with Zia, but slightly lower)
Number 4 - Belena. Adorable, beautiful, they deserve happiness. I know they kind of just exist in the background of things, but I really do love the pair. I feel like they're the most "domestic fluff" of all the ships. Which is probably why they don't get brought up much (considering the blog runs on angst and I just haven't thought up any good Bela or Elena angst in a while)
Number 5 - Mecassa. Again, adorable, very sweet, I love the "Tough bitch is emotional for her smol girlfriend" thing. This one's the lowest because... I dunno. I guess I haven't thought about them a lot. Still love it, though. (Canadian AU Mecassa is THRIVING in my head more than Main AU Mecassa. No I don't know why.)

Eu terminei a primeira temporada de "enrolados outra vez", e simplesmente a d o r e i !!
Pontos que gostaria de elogiar:
O primeiro detalhe são as personalidades dos pais da Rapunzel, achei eles cheios de camadas. A mãe sendo sábia e quem apoia os sonhos da filha e por outro lado, um pai traumatizado que só não quer perder sua filha de novo (um pai babão tbm), achei ambas relações muito bem construídas.
Segundo que a Rapunzel teve um desenvolvimento muito bom de ver, adicionou coisas novas sem perder a essência, fora que ela tbm comete erros e n é só a "perfeitinha". Esse ponto serve para o José (embora eu quisesse mais desenvolvimento dele..), e a Cassandra (amo muito o tipo de perso que ela é, totalmente humana!)
A amizade da cass com a raps é linda, mas eu queria ter visto elas se conhecendo. Contudo isso não tira o brilho delas duas, acho fofo como ambas se respeitam e fazem de tudo pela outra.
EU AMEI O VARIAN ELE É MEU PITICO NGM ENCOSTA NELE AJDBEJDKWNXBSK SE ELE ERROU, ELE ERROU TENTANDO ACERTAR. *passando pano*
Algumas coisas foram respondidas no último ep, mas ainda falta bastante coisa, ta em aberto e sem profundidade 🤔 (vamos pra segunda temporada)
O max teve destaque, e o pascal tbm, boatos de que eu chorei nos eps deles...
Relação de sogro e genro de milhões? Temos aqui tbm!!
Enfim, achei tudo ótimo, não perfeito, mas como fã do filme, a série entrega bastante!! Fora que só a relação do José com a Rapunzel é um ponto muito forte e POSITIVO na série, eles são a coisa mais perfeita!! A relação deles é tão pura e bela a a a a a a

DC x DP Prompt *10*
It had been a relative uneventful day in Gotham, the new Week just started and most of the big rouges were still in Arkham after the last big breakout. And even tho the nightly patrol wasn't done, Batman send most of his charges that were still somewhat injured home. He, Orphan and Robin would be able to handle the rest.
They had stopped some muggings and one break-in by the time patrol officially ended. His children made their way back to the manor on their bikes, while the Bat made one last round through the docks.
He had a feeling of foreboding, not necessarily a bad feeling, but he was cautious. Even if Cassandra and Damian weren't hurt that badly, he still wanted them home. He wasn't entirely sure why, but he didn't had much time to think it over.
A swirling green Portal opened in front of him and a figure started to emerge from it. Bruce got into a fighting stance, his eyes trained on the unknown.
The Portal vanished after a young man, almost still a boy, stepped out of it. He had white hair that seemed to sway as if he was under water. Green freckles glowed in the dark, just a little muted in contrast to the vibrant green eyes. The boy - because the longer Bruce looked, the younger the being seemed - floated a few inches in the air. In his hands he held what looked like a type of thermos.
"You are Batman, right?", his voice seemed to echo a bit, even in this open space. Bruce just gave a little nod, still in his fighting stance. Just because the other seemed young, didn't mean he wasn't dangerous.
"Good, good... ahem... So my name is Danny or Phantom or Danny Phantom and I know this might come a bit suddenly, but a friend of mine - well more like my mentor - said that I was on the way for the best possible timeline and I think he really needs someone like you - you know with all those contingency plans - and a different dimension than ours and he is already 3 years in the thermos, well minus the bit he was out for a moment where Clockwork sat his Bodytime a bit back, so that he can have a childhood again, but that was like five minutes max. so that doesn't really count, because ha was also in timeout, so for him it was more like a few seconds, but ahem, what I wanted to ask you Mr. Batman, sir... Would you take my evil self from a different timeline, so that he can have a better childhood and maybe be not evil anymore?", Danny rambled and Batman really wished in this moment to have any of his children here, just to make sure that he did indeed hear correctly.
Even if everything had came out in one breath, the things he could piece together didn't paint the best picture. But it seemed like his brooding had taken to long, because the child folded into himself and started do fidget.
"I understand that you don't want to, you don't know me or Dan or anything about us, but you seemed to be the one most capable of handling him and I looked through so many dimension in the hope to find a good place for him... I can understand why he is like he is, but I will never be able to talk sense into him. His actions are unforgivable, but his timeline doesn't exist anymore, the things he done never happened and he is alone in a dimension that would just remind him of everything that happened if he would life with us... But I can totally just look into some more dimension if you don't want to! It's not your problem and I shouldn't have bothered, sorry!" Phantom started to raise his hand and a green line became visible where his finger cut through the air. If Bruce didn't do anything the being would go with a child that needed his help.
"I want a list with all his abilitis, his weaknesses, his potential triggers, dietary needs, allergies, a way to contact you, your mentor and a third trusted person in case of an emergency and a weekly check in system from your side", Bruce knew his kids would make fun of him when he brought another child home, but someone said he was the best possible guardian for this boy, so he would take him. And if he felt pleased about Danny's surprised and relieved face, than no one needed to know.
"Of course! I think Clockwork gave me a folder with everything!", the boy exclaimed, before he led the riff he started to open close, just to open another one. He seemed to rummage in the small Portal, until he showed him a folder full of papers. This would take a while to go through, but at least the boy was prepared.

Urban Wyatt x Reader : JUST ONE
A/N : I know I’m late with the Christmas fics but this was in my drafts and I’m trying to clean it out lol so enjoy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were just a few hours away from Christmas so you were running up and down trying to get everything for dinner. This year you were hosting and you were stressed to the max, to say the least. Your best friend and her mother-in-law always go all out for the holidays, so you wanted to make it just as special as ever.
Just your luck, you had forgotten the most important ingredient for the dish you were making tonight, so you had to run to your local mercado in hopes it was open and not crazy packed. Luckily for you, it was open but it was filled with crazy people running around.
You made sure to go in and grab only the things you needed so you could get out quickly and make it back in time to prep everything. Once out of the store, you drove quickly- but safely back home.
“Please, daddy.” You hear your four-year-old daughter whisper, as you’re making your way inside the house.
“I don’t know Princess, your mom will kill us both.”
“I tell her I dids it.”
Urban chuckles, “No lying to your mom, baby.”
Cassie groans “But there's a bunch, just one pretty please.”
You couldn’t help but chuckle quietly, trying hard not to give it away that you were overhearing them.
Urban looks between Cassie and the gifts under the Christmas tree. “Fine, just one but it has to be a small one.”
Cassie immediately shrieks in excitement “Thank you, daddy.”
Urban reaches for a gift so you decide to make your presence known, “I know you two aren’t being naughty.” You look at them with a raised eyebrow.
Cassie gasps “Mommy, ¿cuándo llegaste?”
You smirk “I’ve been here long enough to hear what you two naughty Wyatt’s are planning.”
“It was all her fault.” Urban points to Cassie.
“DADDY.” she glares at him, “It was him mommy.”
You smile and shake your head, “You two are something else.” you make your way to the kitchen to put down the groceries on the counter.
You start taking out the different spices, dough, and meat for the posole you were going to make for dinner, you go wash your hands and rinse down everything you just bought. You grab your apron and notice a shadow by the entrance of the kitchen, you smile and ignore them.
“You ask her.”
“She's your wife, you ask.”
“Yeah but she’s your mom, so you ask her,” Urban whispers back, pushing Cassie all the way into the kitchen.
“How about you both ask me?” You suggest, turning your head to look at them while peeling the chiles.
“She wants to open a present,” Urban says, picks her up, and heads towards you.
“Hmm.” you look at your daughter. “Have you been naughty or nice all year?”
Cassie smiles, “If I was naughty, why Santa bring all those goodies?”
You’re left speechless, “She got you there babe.”
You glare at Urban, “Tell you what princess.” you smile at her, “I’ll let you open just one.”
“Yayy”
“Only if your dad helps me peel these.” You point to the pot you had filled with water and chiles California.
“Daddy, get peeling.” Cassie pats his shoulder.
“Ugh.” Urban groans, sets Cassie down, and goes to wash his hands. “Can I get some gloves?”
You nod and point to the cabinet next to him. “On your right babe.”
“Only because I love you, Cassandra Wyatt,” Urban says.
Cassie gasps, “Not because you love mommy?”
“I- you know I do.”
You can’t help but laugh at that.
“I know, just messing with you.”
Urban shakes his head, “You need to stop hanging out with The Harlow spawns”
“Not uhh.” Cassie shakes her head. “They my best fwens.”
You smile, “Cassandra, I bought some stuff to make cookies.”
“Oh yum.”
“Want to do that while daddy does his job?”
She nods “Yes please.”
******************
Urban had taken a few pictures of you and Cassie while you two were baking and having fun. After a few hours of baking and prepping everything, Cassie was growing impatient and wanted to open her one present that you had promised she could.
Urban and you were now seated in the living room, waiting for Cassie to pick the present she wanted to open.
“Okay, this one,” she announces, blows the hair out of her face, and sits down in front of you two.
“Wow look at that wrapping Cass,” Urban says, admiring the Hello Kitty wrapping paper.
“It’s so cute.” she nods.
“Okay, open it,” you tell her.
“What is it?” Urban leans towards you and whispers into your ear. “ I didn’t see you wrap this one.”
You smirk. “She’ll love it. You’ll both have fun.”
Cassie gasps. “OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT.”
You smile but Urban sits up and tries to look at the box, “What is it Cass?”
She smiles and looks up at her dad, “A camera.”
Urban quickly sits down next to Cassie and pulls it out of the box, “Oh this is neat Cassie.”
She nods, “I wrote Santa a letter.”
“Yeah? And what did you say?” He asks her.
“Camera to be like you daddy.”
Urban smiles and kisses the top of her head. “Want to test it out?”
She nods. “Say cheese mommy.”
You smile, throw the peace sign, and wait for her to snap the picture. After a while of messing with the camera, she finally gets tired and is ready for her nap of the day.
You start picking up the wrapping paper from the floor when Urban grabs your hand and stops you. “W-what?”
“That shit tugged at my heartstrings and you knew it would.”
You shrug, “Maybe.”
He smiles, “Since when did she want to take pictures like me? It was always sing like her Tio Jack Jack or her mom.”
You smile, “She’s been saying that for a while now, she would always try to use my phone for pictures but she claims the quality sucks.”
Urban chuckles, “You were right you know?”
“About what?”
“We’re gonna have fun with that, even if it’s a Polaroid,” he says.
“Thank you,” you tell him.
“For what?” He asks, confused.
You wrap your hands around his neck, “For coming back to us.”
He smiles, “I wasn’t going anywhere.”
“Promise me, Wyatt.” You close your eyes and place your forehead against his. “Promise me that you’ll stay.”
“Baby, look at me.” he places his hand under your chin. “I promise you that we’ll make this work, I promise that I’m not going anywhere. I’m here to stay even when you want to throw a cup at me, I’m here to stay.”
“I love you.” You whisper.
He gives you one last peck and smiles, “I love you more.”
You raise your eyebrows, “You know what else Cassie wrote on her letter to Santa?”
“What?”
You smirk, “A baby brother or sister.”
He looks shocked, “Wait what?”
You shrug, “I know we said no more kids, that we’re happy with just Cassandra. But we can always practice.”
Urban smirks right away, “Oh you got yourself a deal Mrs. Wyatt.”

Sibling Showdown!!!
Tumblr media
This showdown consists of 64 sibling sets facing off against each other, as well as a few one-off polls of sets who didn’t make the actual bracket but who I wanted to include in some capacity.  Polls will last a week.  Round One of section A will go live on April 16, with section B going live the day after, section C the day after that, and section D the day after that.
Propaganda is allowed!  I just ask that it be kept positive.  Argue for your faves instead of against someone else’s.  Every sibling set who made it in the showdown is there because someone wanted them to be, so keep it kind.
Will the winners be the siblings that love each other the most?  That are most capable of killing other sibling groups with their bare hands?  That have the most sibling swag?  It’s up to you to decide!  You get to choose the manner and parameters you judge each sibling set for.

Watched the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer like five times now. No idea if this movie is going to be good but it sure looks fun.
Spoiler-ish thoughts after the jump.
Stoked for the premise of Buddy Cop Mad Max in the Void at the End of Time. It took me a couple watches to realize that was where they are for like half of the scenes in the trailer. But that is definitely where they are for like half of the scenes in the trailer. You can even see Alioth in two shots.
Makes sense given that the T.V.A are such a heavy presence in the marketing up to this point. Have Wade and Logan been pruned? Is that why Wade's world is in danger? The T.V.A. aren't supposed to be doing that anymore. I'm very interested in seeing where the film is going with this.
That the 20th Century Fox logo has been pruned is such a... Never change, Deadpool movies. (Also that Feige cocaine bit. XD)
Only vaguely familiar with Cassandra Nova. I think I've read one arc of X-Men she was in? The wicked sister of Charles Xavier or something like that?
She seems to be in the Void too. So she's probably not what's threatening Wade's world. (Probably the T.V.A.)
Trailer doesn't give away much details but gives a basic idea of what to expect. Like The Marvels, it looks like this is a movie that's going to be carried by the chemistry of its leads more than anything. At least, that's how it's being marketed. The twin "Let's fucking go" recitations gave me chills.
Be interesting to see how this movie does at the box office. Deadpool films have been pretty stable; $782m and $786m respectively.
On the one hand, Logan's presence may provide a crossover bump; Crossover films typically sell like hotcakes in Marvel's market. Though Wolverine's never made the kind of money Deadpool does; Wade is actually the X-franchise's biggest seller. Even Logan, critically acclaimed though it was, never reached the heights of either of Wade's films. But that doesn't change the fact that crossovers sell.
On the other hand, it's been six years since the last Deadpool film so some of the momentum may have been lost; Deadpool and Deadpool 2 only had two years between them.
So it's a toss-up as to how well this film is going to perform.
