Calling them your skrimblo
yeah so skrunklybrain struck me n now i wanna call Levi and Belphie my skrunkly and see how they react +w+bb
~500 words, 50% bulletpoint-style 50% story
Levi (she/her):
Just as she was walking down the hallway to get to the dinner hall, Levi heard Lucifer ask mc to go get Levi out of her room for dinner. Just before she could reach the handel, she heard mc yell “Ofcourse!!”. mc let out a giggle and Levi is totally not blushing about it. Then, in a sing-songy tune, mc said: “Off to go get levi, my skrunkly, my babygirl!!”
Panic. What. 'Skrunkly'?
Levi knows what it means. Ofcourse she does.
She has so many skrunkly’s herself.
But to be a skrunkly? This was new
And especially to mc??? Levi’s head is in the clouds
Does she really mean that much to mc? Skrunkly is a pro-level status! Is her intimacy with mc already that high?!
(she skipped over the 'babygirl' part. It would be to much so take at once. Levi will actually die trying to process that)
Once mc opens the door, Levi is standing still in the hallway with a ten-mile grin on her face. I'm afraid you've broken her :). Only way to fix her again is to cuddle her and listen to all the blorbo thoughts she has about you!!
Belphie (they/he):
Once again Belphie seems to have fallen asleep in a rather uncommon place. Today it's under one of the desks in the school library. The floor here isn’t too bad, 6/10. After about half an hour of peaceful rest, they were awoken by the one voice that could do that consistently. Mc. Apparently mc was also accompanied by a certain sorcerer. “C’mon Sol, you’ve got to spill!! I’m sure Asmo would love to indulge me about you guys’ relationship”. Belphie could practically hear your wink. He rolled his eyes, but didn’t hide his smile. “Enough mc, please. Why dont we talk about you, hhm? I’ve seen the way you and Belphie are together.”. Silence. Suddenly, mc responded. “OH MY GOD. You know, i’ve been like… dying to talk about them!! He’s so skrunkly!! My scrimblo!!”
Not what he expected at all.
Not to familiar with the term, but has listened to enough of Levi’s rant to understand its a term of endearment.
Embarrassed but very much not ungrateful.
Is so much more awake now!! 100% bonked their head on the underside of the desk.
Theyve always been one of the younger kids so they know what its like to be spoiled but hearing this from mc of all people makes them feel extra special. In a way theyve never even felt before
Will ask mc to call him that again in front of his siblings, just to be a little shit (he’s to embarresed to admit he really fucking likes it. It’s so silly!!)
If Belphie ever decides to take their relationship with mc to the next level, they will not except any other term than ‘my skrunkly’. Say goodbye to ‘boyfriend’ ‘partner’ and even just ‘belphie’, they will not respond until you call them your skrinblo.

Hi, thanks for sending these in! <3
This one's from a You Like What's in My Head sequel/series part 3 from way back when. I still wanna finish this draft, one day, if it ever cooperates.
Thoroughly annoyed and only marginally sure he’s not having a nightmare of some kind, Bucky hisses an admittedly hysterical, “What the fuck am I supposed to do, play bridge with Dernier? He’s like a hundred years old, what if he croaks on my watch?”
Steve laughs at him, an infuriating habit Bucky swears one day will be the sole reason they end this glorified tryst, and drags him by the foot to the edge of the bed for an overlong kiss goodbye. “Don’t let Jacques hustle you in chess.”
Bucky’s nothing if not contrary, so of course he joins Dernier out by the garden for a game.
send me a 🌹 for a sentence from a wip

A Simple Thing
It was a Friday when Keziah told Laelia.
It was a Friday, and the sun cast a warm aura through the city. Laelia had dragged Keziah outside, hand in hand, as they pranced through the streets of their home. Sunlight trickled in through the skyscrapers, and though it was chilly as ever, Keziah could almost feel the fleeting warmth wash over her. Laelia took her hand, and she pulled Keziah along, nails biting into her skin.
Keziah had smiled, and had gone along with it. This is nice, she had thought, and had pulled Laelia into a café. Then, just as quickly as it had arrived, her smile faded, and her heart clenched as she looked down. Her chest tightened. The café was dim, decorated with neutral colours, and Keziah eyed the menu.
“I have something to tell you,” she said. “Coffee on me?”
“Sure,” Laelia replied. “Iced latte?”
“Of course.”
After the drinks were bought and received, they found a small booth by the window, laid with soft, blue cushions and placed on either side of a long oak table. They sat across from each other, sipping at their drinks. Keziah took a breath. Everything is going to be okay, she told herself.
She frowned. She looked at Laelia—at her friend that she was going to see very little of from now on. “I…” She blinked in quick succession. “I’m not staying here with you.”
There was nothing but the sound of cups clinking and people chatting away in the café now. Keziah grimaced, looking away. Why did there have to be a choice? Her heart thumped erratically as she fiddled with the sleeve of her dark blue jacket.
“What?” Laelia whispered. “No. No. You can’t do this to me. What happened to being friends forever? After all these years, you’re just going to leave me?”
“We can still be friends!” Keziah reassured her. “I’m not going to be gone forever. I just need to find out who I am, away from–”
“Me.” She tapped the rim of her coffee cup. “You want to get away from me.” The cup made a horrible screech as Laelia snatched it up, turning away.
“Laelia, wait!” Keziah leapt up, hands reaching for Laelia, but she was already walking away.
“You’ll regret this,” she promised. “You will regret this.”
Keziah had slumped back down in her seat, a force burning through her lungs and threatening to tear her apart. There she had waited, in the café, sitting there and ignoring the chimes of her phone. There she had waited, until the sun was once again obscured by the clouds and there she had waited, until Laelia had come storming back in.
“You can’t leave,” she begged, a wild look in her eyes. “What’s so wrong staying here? Is it me?”
“No, it’s not…” Keziah raked a hand through her hair, undoing her carefully done braid. “You’re not listening to me!” Then, she dragged Laelia away, away from the angry glares of the disturbed patrons.
“Well, what is it?” she demanded. She grabbed Keziah’s hands again, her nails digging in so painfully that Keziah thought that it would draw blood.
Keziah shuddered. You never listen to me, she thought. Why don’t you ever listen to me? What about this is hard to understand?
“Tell me,” Laelia begged. “Tell me why you’re going to leave me here, after all we’ve been through.”
Keziah stared at the ground. “This isn’t where I belong,” she whispered. She wished Laelia could see that. “I need a change of scenery. I need to figure out who I am, what makes up me. I need something that’s unfamiliar.”
“That’s away from me,” Laelia echoed. “What about what I need?”
A wave of frustration rippled through Keziah. She doesn’t get it, she told herself. When does she ever?
“Yeah, well, not everything is about you.”
Laelia flinched. Her hands slackened, drawing away from Keziah’s hands. She mouthed the words, eyebrows furrowing as she trembled. Then, she reached for Keziah again, nails biting into her skin again as she pushed up her sleeves and grasped her wrists, like shackles of flesh and blood. Her perfectly manicured nails pressed in painfully.
Keziah hissed sharply. “Ow!” She tried to tug back, but Laelia’s grip only tightened. “Laelia, let go!”
There was blood. It stung. Laelia was hurting her. When had it gotten to this point? When had things gone so wrong?
Laelia was supposed to be okay with it, she thought. Laelia was supposed to accept it and promise to stay in touch. It was supposed to be such a simple thing.
When had things gone so wrong?
Keziah tugged back one final time. Laelia’s nails left their final marks on her, and Keziah backed away, inspecting her arms. There were pinpricks of blood, but she wasn’t bleeding, not really.
“Not everything is about you,” she repeated.
Laelia drew back.
“And we’re done here.” She turned away. “We’re done here,” she muttered.
“So, this is it?” Laelia said softly. “No more us?”
“There was never an ‘us’. Only you.”
“This is it, then.” Keziah could almost hear the bitter smile. “We’ll never see each other again. You’ll never see me again.”
“No.”
“Goodbye, then.”
The jagged towers of the city blocked out the sun. The fog wrapped Keziah in a chilly, unforgiving hug. She shivered. The city’s skyline was sharp and claw-like, and Keziah shivered, tracing the scratches on wrists.
Maybe Laelia had always been like that. Maybe Keziah was just too blind and naïve to notice. Maybe that would be forever the nature of people, to want only what is best for themselves. Maybe selfishness would forever be an inherent part of everyone.
Keziah shivered once more, and tugged the sleeves of her jacket down. She smiled once more, looking down as a force tugged at her heart.
“Goodbye, Laelia.”
