The Other Shrimp

Summary: Floyd x gn!reader You go to Floyd's highschool reunion and meet his ex, who happens to be a shrimp mer.

Cw: I'm spreading my bisexual Floyd Propaganda and no one can stop me! Also, reader is referred to as tiny by Floyd, but I hc he's ginormous in his mer form, so do with that what you will.

Floyd had made you come to his high school reunion. In his words, "I want to show off that I captured the best Shrimpy in the entire world."

While you weren't sure if you appreciated agreeing to date him being referred to as him "capturing you", you appreciated the sentiment. So after receiving a potion that would allow you to breathe underwater for the three day trip, you were now in an underwater venue surrounded by merpeople of all shapes and colors.

You'd left Floyd momentarily to grab a snack from a table. When you turned around, you saw a gorgeous mermaid hugging him, and running her hands up and down his arms.

She had orange hair, and two long white antennae that would have blended with her hair if they were an inch shorter. Her lips were orange and her skin was a blushy pink. Along her torso and arms were orange stripes, leading to an orange tail. She shone like the sun, and you were immediately upset that she was touching your boyfriend.

You swam over to them, snack in hand, and Floyd's eyes lit up when he saw you. Good, he was bored with her. 

"Shrimpy!" He giggled, pulling you into his side. "What took you so long, I was getting bored." He pouted.

"Oh!" She said brightly. "Are you a shrimp mer too? I'm a banded coral, what are you dear?" 

"Nope, shrimpy is my human. But," Floyd wrapped his tail and arms around you and gave a light squeeze. "Look how tiny they are!"

"Floyd," you wheezed as he squeezed tighter.

"Here let me help you," the mer said, extricating you from your again pouty boyfriend. "Believe me, I know just as well as you how tight Floyd's grip can be. Why, when we were dating…"

"Huh?" You choked.

"That was so long ago, let's talk about something fun!" Floyd sighed. 

"Some things never change," she laughed, playfully hitting his arm. You wanted to tell her to keep her mitts off your man, but you didn't want Floyd to think you were unreasonable. Luckily for you…

"Shrimpy, I wanna go back to the hotel and squeeze you," Floyd "whispered", wrapping himself around you again. "I'm not feeling this party anymore."

So with as polite of a goodbye as you could manage, you both left the party.

                                      ….

You were back in your room with Floyd wrapped tightly around you, and you were still thinking about that mermaid.

"Shrimpy, your worrying is ruining my squeeze time. What's wrong?" 

You hadn't realized you'd been that transparent. Then again, Floyd was exceedingly insightful when it came to those he cared about.

"How long did you date her?"

"Who?"

"That coral banded shrimp mermaid," you said nervously. 

He looked at you, confused, and said, "About a month. She wanted to get at her parents by dating someone "dangerous and risky" and I thought she was squishy. So that's that."

"Why'd you break up?"

"Cause I got boooooooored that's why. I didn't love her," he rubbed his face against you with a playful smile on his face. "But I looooooooove my Y/N." 

His face turned stormy for a moment, and he said, "So don't even think about breaking up with me, or I'll have to turn you into a real shrimp."

You giggled, "I won't break up with you Floyd."

"Good," he changed positions so he could flop on top of you. "Why are you asking about her?" Then he got a wicked smile on his face, and burst out laughing. "Wait, you're jealous, aren't you?"

"I am not," you pouted.

"Yes you are! You're so silly, Shrimpy. You're jealous of someone I dated for only a month, but you're fine with me hanging out with goldfishie? You're hilarious, I love you so much," he buried his face in your neck, still giggling.

"Look, I know it's silly, but she was so beautiful, and her voice was like listening to an angel chorus, and she's a mermaid, and an actual shrimp, so I was…"

"Shrimpy," he propped himself up on his forearms so he could hover over you. "Y/N. I love you. Not anyone else. Not someone I used to date. You. And that's never gonna change. You know why?"

"Don't say because I captu…."

"Because I captured you!" He leaned down and kissed you softly, then lowered himself to cup your face. "And I'm not gonna let you go."

You felt relief fill you, and initiated your own kiss. Then it hit you.

"Wait, what do you mean I'm 'fine with you hanging out with goldfishie'?"

Thanks for the tag, @angelasscribbles​! From this ask:

I have so many versions of Riley throughout my AUs, and NONE of them like baklava … so Liam’s safe there. They will however eat vanilla ice cream.

Platinum Riley/Raleigh Carrera: chocolate eclairs, spicy beef empanadas, chicken salad, chips and queso.

Object of Affection Riley (Mermaids): She likes barbecue, chili, and gyros. She and Liam will fight over bacon. And a good cheeseburger never killed anybody.

Riam Riley: FOOD. She said what she said. But if forced to choose, extra spicy Hunan chicken with onion and egg fried rice (don’t forget the bean sprouts!), jalapeno cheddar Cheetos, snickers bars. She also makes a mean potato salad.

Divorce AU Riley: With two teenagers, a pre-teen, and a (ex) husband with a large appetite for everything, she’s just living for the times she can sit in a McDonald’s parking lot with a McFlurry, hot salted fries, and her phone on vibrate.

Discontent Riley: Now that the gin bottle is gone, she’s rediscovering her appetite for well-done steaks, apple pie, and hummus with pita chips. Liam likes to surprise her with fresh fruits and imported chocolates.

UnRomance Riley: Whatever Liam tells her she likes. This can change on a daily basis, but the chocolate on a monthly basis rule remains in effect.

Best Friends Riley: Crack rocks, salted peanuts, Coca-Cola. It’s the meal of champions.

Riley B.: Spaghetti with spicy sausage, ground beef, and covered with cheese. Liam tends to throw some pepperoni in for good boyfriend points. Sweet potato waffles (but only if Liam makes them for her), Chinese food, French fries, deep fried shrimp, chicken breast cutlets, pizza, ham, potato salad … basically anything as long as she gets to share with Liam.

I believe everyone I know has been tagged, so if this comes across your dash and you want to play, PLEASE DO!

sebek zigvolt

scenario : your boyfriend gets caught in the rain and manages to get sick.

floyd leech

“You’re burning up,” Jade says, pulling his hand away from Floyd’s forehead. Floyd curses under his breath then falls back into the mountain of fluffy pillows on his bed, grumbling about the rain.

Jade suggested that he should stay at home but Floyd brushed him off, insisting that staying at home alone would be boring. “I don’t want to!”

Floyd isn’t used to being sick in his human body. It’s an entirely different experience when compared to being sick in his mermaid form. Getting out of bed was like lifting a 1000 ton dumbbell and the excessive sweating makes his clothes feel ten times stuffier than it usually does. He was honestly tempted to prance around naked the whole day at school just to keep himself cool.

Unfortunately Fortunately, Azul convinces him to wear his uniform.

He tries to hide his fever from you. Not because he doesn’t want to be babied (believe me, he wants to be babied) but because he knows you’d probably suggest the same thing Jade did.

For a while, it seemed to be going smoothly. He hid away his coughing and sneezing and you hadn’t suspected a thing— 

Until he accidentally pulls you into a hug.

He hadn’t meant to but after seeing you so oblivious to his approach, he just had to mess with you a little bit. After all, how could he let such an opportunity pass? You were like a little shrimp waiting to be eaten! So, he lunges at you with arms spread out and yells, “Boo!” Your yelp disappears into his shirt as he pulls you in and wraps his arms around you. “Squeeeeeeezzeeee~!”

There was a singular moment of bliss for the two of you; You eased into his chest with a smile, quietly murmuring his name and he lets himself savour the feeling it brought to him.

The moment ends as quickly as it started with you looking up at him, eyes crinkled with worry. “Floyd?” you started, “Are you sick?” 

Uh oh.

He doesn’t try to deny it. 

Instead, he pulls away and starts booking it, forcing you into a troublesome game of tag. “FLOYD YOU NEED TO BE IN BED!”

You managed to catch him after he accidentally bumps into Jade, who saw you running towards them and put two and two together.

Even after getting caught, Floyd continues to stubbornly resist you, claiming that he didn’t want to stay in bed all day and rest.

Unless...

“Y/N, Y/N~ I promise to rest if you take care of me~”

He manages to convince you to skip class and head back to Octavinelle with him.

Like flicking off a light switch, his bright-eyed and bushy-tailed attitude disappears the moment you two arrive at his dorm and is instantly replaced with weariness.

He also immediately starts taking his clothes off. It doesn’t matter if you act unfazed or end up a blushing mess, he’ll be too drained at this point to entertain you. The problem is that after being completely stripped of his uniform, he refuses to put on some clothes. You couldn’t leave him like that i mean you could so you ended up bathing him and forcing him into his pajamas.

After that, you pulled him under the covers and made him a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

“Say ahhh!” “Ahhhhmn~!” “F-Floyd, you’re eating my hand.”

When he finally gets comfortable in his bed, he’ll start whining like a big ole baby.

“Y/N, I need more blankeeeettssss.” “Y/N, the rain is too loudddddd.” “Wah, this sucks. I shouldn’t have left schoooooooolllll.” “Y/N I’m thirrrrsssttttyyyy.”

He’ll only shut up if you give him kisses.

You’d probably end up sleeping next to him because he’s never going to let you leave. “You promised you’d take care of me!”

If you end up getting sick with him, he’ll probably just laugh and say, “Yay sick buddies!”

kalim al-asim

Kalim was already feverish the moment he got back home, dripping wet; He couldn’t keep his food down and his head was throbbing. Jamil had to put him down after making sure he was in a different set of clothes (comfy and dry) and drank his medicine.

When you came by in the morning, trembling with exhaustion after having to run over to Scarabia to check up on your boyfriend, Jamil couldn’t keep Kalim from hopping out of bed to greet you at the entrance. “Y/N, you’re here! You’re— woah!” 

He loses his balance and stumbles forward. You catch him just before he hits the ground. “Aha, my hero!” he exclaims before nestling himself in your arms and passing out. You watch him for a second, stroking his light hair and smiling to yourself until his skin grows unnaturally warmer and you remember why you came by in the first place.

After helping you carry Kalim back to bed, Jamil leaves you to take care of him and goes off to finish his and Kalim’s assignments and dorm leader work.

Kalim wasn’t finicky when sick. Most of the time he was coming in and out of consciousness and if he stayed awake, he’d usually make you take care of yourself more than him; he’d tell you that you’ve been worrying too much and that you should relax and take a break. He’d even suggest that you take a quick nap, assuring you that he won’t be going anywhere.

“We all deserve to take a load off every once in a while,” he says to you, smiling. His voice raspy and forehead beaded with sweat. “Come on, I’ll have pillows and blankets brought for you! I’d offer you mine but they’re damp from my sweat.”

He almost got you with that. 

Be strong Y/N. Don’t let his genuine concern waver your determination to take care of him!

At the end of the day, he’d slowly walk up to you, all bundled up in his blankets and thank you for taking care of him. “Thank you for everything Y/N.”

sebek zigvolt

No! How could he possibly be sick?!

He made sure to take a hot shower and drink medicine after dropping you off in your dorm. Even slept earlier than the Lord Malleus just so that he could get enough rest.

But for some reason he was in the infirmary with you during lunch break, face flushed and nose runny because of his fever. 

He didn’t want to be there - refused to admit to being sick and raved deliriously on how he should be at the cafeteria by the Lord Malleus’ side, fulfilling his duty as his bodyguard. 

The school physician had to force him to sleep with a spell as a safety precaution when things started to get a little out of control (but we all know they did it so that he could shut up and rest). They then left you alone with him to contact his dorm leader and inform them of his indisposition.

You were reluctant to leave him alone so you stayed with him for a while. As instructed by the school physician, you took a basin and a clean white cloth from one of the cabinets near his bed, filled the basin with water, dipped the cloth into the water and wiped down his sticky face. You smile when he giggles after swiping the cloth under his  nose.

After that, you make a lot of wonderful discoveries while watching over him. He looks peaceful when he’s sleeping, he drools and he talks in his sleep. You spent like half an hour trying to make sense of his nonsensical mumbling.

“Y/N…” Sebek murmured, his brows knitting together in concern. You inched your face closer to his, studying his twitching mouth with wide curious eyes. “What about Y/N?” you asked his slumbering form. His face rumples as if he were deep in thought. “Raining.. Should bring… Umbrella…” You pull away from him, bringing a hand to your face to stifle a laugh. Though a little bit silly, you found it endearing for him to worry over you while he was currently passed out in one of the infirmary beds, sick as a dog.

When Lilia and Silver come by to pick him up, you shake Sebek awake.

“Sebek, wake up,” you say softly as you shook his shoulder. Sebek’s eyes spring open, suddenly alert, “H-Huh?!” he exclaims, abruptly sitting up, “Y/N, what’s happening? Are you alright?” He then spends the next few minutes fussing over you like the doting boyfriend that he is.

After that, you take him back to his dorm with Lilia and Silver.

[presleepthoughts]

Hi dude :) if you're still taking prompts, I have one! All of Chloe's relationships with all the guys she's dating go south bc of her and beca's "platonic" relationship

Sorry, I haven’t written this story until now. I had it in my inbox for a few months. But I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and start writing again frequently. 

I hope you like it because I had a fun time with it. Thanks for the request.

This may have been the third or the fourth time this has happened. The first two times was in a coffee shop, the third was in a movie theater (which was more awkward then when her father showed up to Christmas with her new girlfriend unannounced last year) and now in a restaurant. 

Chloe is possibly buzzing in front of her with excitement and Beca can’t possibly understand why. 

It became a routine of some sort. Chloe would date a guy for a month or two before inviting Beca along to “get to know” him. They would sit there silently while Chloe chatted along, trading stories back and forth about them to the other. Beca would dutifully observe the guy and at the end of the day would give her opinion. 

Usually a bad one.

 And for some bizarre reason, the guy wouldn’t last for another week. 

Chloe’s smile can’t be bigger when the guy finally shows up and Beca grimaces when she kisses him deeply. He’s tall, blonde with blue eyes, masculine with broad shoulders. Basically a walking Ken doll. And Beca can’t even deny the fact that they look good together.

He introduces himself as Colton before they sit down and Beca tries to smile. 

“So, umm…” She speaks up, trying to think of one of the questions she usually asks. “What do you do?” 

He answers with a nod. “I’m a professional surfer.” 

Of course he is. Beca snickers internally but keeps a straight face. 

Chloe grins and pats his arm, before turning her attention to Beca. The waiter walks up to the table and the three of them grab the menus. Beca orders some pasta, keeping it simple but before Chloe can open her mouth Colton interrupts her with a smile. Beca notices his hand disappear under the table and probably settling on Chloe’s thigh. 

“I’ll get it, babe.” He says with a charming smile, way too confident.

Beca would crawl out his eyes. She hates when people try to order for her. Jesse tried to do it one time, in some kind of lame attempt to be romantic but when Beca “joked” that she would stab him with a fork, he stopped. 

His eyes skips along the menu before he turns to the waiter. “She’ll have a shrimp salad - “

“She’s allergic to shrimp.” Beca says unexpectedly and Colton frowns slightly at her. 

“Tomato soup.”

“Hates it.”

“BTL?” Now the question mark at the end of the sentence amuses Beca. It just means he lost his confidence. 

Beca frowns judgingly. “Dude, she’s a vegetarian.” She suddenly questions if he actually knew Chloe or if it’s their first time meeting. 

The guys looks ashamed for a second before nodding. “Right, right, I always forgot.” He grins clumsily at Chloe like he’s trying to play it off as goofiness and Beca’s jaw clenches when Chloe smiles back uncomfortable, forgiving him in an instance. 

Beca may not be the best at expression her feelings for people, especially to her friends but she won’t let anybody take advantage of them either. Chloe’s an amazing person, who’s compassionate and loving - sometimes too much for her own good - and it attracts douchebags like that jellyfish eater in front of her. She just opens her mouth to unleash some perfectly crafted sarcastic comments on his ass when Chloe’s hand sneak across the table and settles on her hand. 

Beca’s eyes shifts to her and scrunches up her nose when Chloe’s eyes practically beg her to stay quiet. Beca doesn’t miss Colton’s eyes zeroing on the action. She raises her eyebrows in amusement and throws gasoline on the fire by turning Chloe’s hand over and swiftly intertwining their fingers. Chloe’s brows draws together but she smiles pleasantly at the surprise.

The waiter’s subtle cough makes them realize where they are and Chloe lets go of her hand before smiles apologetically at him. “Sorry, I’ll just have the house salad. Without tomato, please.” 

The boyfriend - Beca wants to gag - orders bass with potato chips. Can he actually live without the ocean or is he a mermaid? Either way, Beca longs to throw him back. 

“Aright, Beca. What do you do?” He asks with a light tone, pretending that he can still manage to turn this thing around. Beca’s ready to prove him wrong.

She purses her lips together. “I’m a music producer.” She keeps the answer short. 

“Cool.” He nods, his bottom lip in a pout like he’s impressed. “What studio? Maybe I’ve heard of them.”

Chloe chimes in. “She’s freelancing at the moment.” Colton looks at her before turning back to Beca.

Beca’s jaw clenches at the reminder. “Yeah, my last job didn’t really work out like I’d hope it would.” 

Colton nods and Beca notices his arm moving up and down Chloe’s thighs and she wants him to stop. 

“It must be hard not having a job right now. Especially in this century where being financial stable is the most important thing.” He explains and Beca fights  the urge to wait until he’s finished. “Plus, I wouldn’t imagine that spinning records would quite pay the bills.”

“Yeah because surfing on water is a stable job. God forbid there’s a shark and - “

“Yay, the food is here!” Chloe jumps in before Beca could continue but the brunette’s eyes flashes with fire as she swallows her words. Chloe gently kicks her in the shin and warns her through her eyes to play nice. Beca takes a deep breath and keeps her mouth shut, only speaking when spoken to for the rest of the dinner.

“Shut up.” 

These are Chloe’s first words when the pair walks through the door at the end of the day. Beca grins teasingly at her and she can see that Chloe’s trying to hold back a smile as well. 

“I didn’t say anything.” Beca protests as she takes off her shoes and falls back on the couch, watching Chloe from the living room. 

Chloe points an accusing finger at her as she rounds the couch and settles beside Beca. “But I know you want to. I know you too well.” But she’s smiling and Beca takes that as a good sight. 

Silence wraps around them for a second before Beca makes her last comment.

“Did you fish him out or somethi - “ 

She let’s out a belly laugh when a pillow hits her square in the face. 

The End.

Luck

“All of ‘em? Okay...uh, here we go!.” (2 have already been answered: 3 and 17, so those can be found under my tags “ask” and “lady luck”. We will skip those ones for this reason.)

1. “’Lady Luck’ is not actually my real name, but a stage name! But, I don’t usually tell people my real name, and very few people actually know. Who does know? Welll, some old childhood friends of mine, King Dice, the Devil, and the Casino crew, as well as a couple friends I’ve made in Inkwell. What is my real name? Hahaha - not a question I’ll answer to just anyone ;)” (Lady Luck’s real first name is Merina, a portmanteau of “mermaid” and “marina”)

2. “I got a lotta friends, but my best-of-all-friends would be Delilah Demon, and Whitney Sinnett, from that club on Isle 3.” (Whitney Sinnett belongs to @miss-twila )

4. “Hm, hm, I’ve always loved pink, used to have a huge collection of pink seashells as a kid, though nowadays I’ve come to love purple equally as much! I’m bettin’ King Dice had a hand in that, huhu~❤"

5. “Happily datin’ King Dice - I know people warn about his danger, and sure, I was a little nervous at first, but...it worked out, somehow. We just...seem to find the better sides to each other and bring em out from within us...I guess we kinda balance each other out!”

6. “Right now? I can’t say I have an ideal mate anymore, since I’m happily working with him and being with him. But when I was a small fry I dreamed about, eh, a handsome prince from above the surface. I guess you could say I got somethin’ better than a prince.”

7. “Oh my, Dice charms the heck outta me, he can be a gentleman, he sings beautifully, treats me like his queen....that’s only the tip of the iceberg. For the Devil’s second-in-command, Dice really knows how to court people. 😍”

8. “Growin’ up, I loved this pasta-dish with noodles made from seaweed flour, and a sauce made with cod roe. Funnily enough, a similar dish exists on land, they call it ‘tarako spaghetti’, and it’s even topped with nori flakes! But that’s not my only favorite, the creamy shrimp scampi is my favorite food from the surface. I guess you could say seafood pasta, that’s my favorite kind of food.”

9. “I did in fact have a crush on King Dice long before we started dating, but prior to the casino, I’ve had crushes on: a mermaid (not Cala Maria), a human man, a cat lady, a mummy, and a man of my kind. I actually did date that guy, but it didn’t work out.”

10. “I mostly sing jazz and swing, and it’s the kind of music I like to hear most. Give me that really crazy, fast-paced, time-signature changin’ jazz you can dance to.”

11. “Oh uh....I...really don’t want to lose my job and end up in prison. Or the Devil to lose his casino. I’ve heard rumors of this legendary Chalice ghost coming back to life...and I don’t want her to end our careers.”

12. “Maybe get married someday...though, I dunno about kids. I’m not sure I’d make a good mother. That’s a ‘maybe’ for me.”

13. “I smoke and drink....some may consider that a bad habit. And, sometimes I pick at dead or loose scales on my body. Ew, that may have been too much.”

14. “In my childhood I may have made some mistakes I regret doin’, such as playing too close to some stalagmites. I have the scars to show for it.” Luck pulls off one of her gloves to reveal the damaged webbing between her fingers. “I would wear webbed gloves for the rest of my childhood and teenage years when I lived underwater, but I stopped after living on the surface. I found not havin’ much webbing between my fingers to be useful! Holdin’ cigarettes between your fingers, wearing rings....those are nice. So it’s not all that bad.”

15. “You know I ain’t tellin’ my best kept secrets. Then they wouldn’t be secrets no more!”

16. “Somethin’ work related. It was about a shipment of bourbon being delayed.”

18. “Um...hehh.....wh-why would I have one? Or er, share it?” She looks a little nervous, and maybe a little in denial.

19. “I got a singin’ voice that’ll get the listener to do whatever I want! Or, in most cases, what the boss wants me to make them do. When I weaponize it, I can make my opponent do my bidding, fall asleep, or just get lost!”

20. “When I was younger I looked up to an old friend of mine - both metaphorically and literally. She was brave despite her own insecurity. I wonder where she is now....Since then, I’ve come to admire my coworkers, boss, and boyfriend. There’s also Pirouletta, who helped show me the ropes of performing at the casino when I first started out! She has a grace I adore.”

harrison is 6′0″! tall king!

how do they tend to dress?

vry lazy aes…. shreya please he loves u but he’s most comfortable lounging in sweatpants and one of griffin’s t-shirts/hoodies at home… he kinda has a very casual athletic aesthetic? considering he is a bit of an athlete, but aside from that lots of pop culture shirts, basic jeans & plaid overshirts! sometimes he likes button ups with fuckawful patterns too

do they like how they look?

yeah! he tends to be a bit uncomfortable when he has to dress up since he’s not really used to formal events but i refuse to acknowledge the male mc formal wear options for the ball and the fancy gold outfit he wore with a golden sun crown was super cute and he loved it!

are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

harrison has a twin brother named atlas ofc! i don’t hc him having any siblings from his parents and obviously his bio parents never had any other children so it’s just him and atlas!

are they a morning person or night owl?

a morning person! harrison is a sun att so he feels closely tied to the sun and even if he is a morning person more than a night owl, he’s not a particularly early riser and is often most happy curled up in bed in warm sunshine!

are they a cat person or a dog person?

u can’t make him choose man… he and his parents have a cat and a dog at home and he loves them both very much, but after attending penderghast his answer would be TOAD PERSON because we are tim stans first and people second

got any favourite foods?

none of that weird wizard shit that’s for sure. he LOVES sour mix candies and he’s actually a really big fan of seafood! his mum taught him how to fish and so he loves fish & he can make some really good meals with crab and calamari even if his parents don’t let him have it often. he would also kill or seriously maim for garlic shrimp.

how about favourite drinks?

harrison rlly likes fruit-based teas, and milk tea as an extension of that! he’s also a big fan of fruit juice in general but he specifically really likes blackcurrant juice and pineapple juice!

what are their favourite movies/tv shows?

contrary to what u might think haz really HATES harry potter. he used to love it but then he grew up and got disenfranchised and now he’s gonna throw hands with joke rowling in the streets. what he DOES actually like is buzzfeed unsolved and he had a supernatural phase that he is deeply, deeply ashamed about. his favourite movie is legally blonde because he has taste and also he loves rwby because i love projecting and he thinks sun wukong is hot

do they have any hidden talents?

not so hidden but he ran track in high school and he got a scholarship to hartfeld for that, which is why it’s so easy for him to get into thief! he can touch his nose with his tongue, and he’s really, really good at whistling.

do they believe in love at first sight?

harrison is a romantic and so yes! he loves romcoms even if he acknowledges they’re shitty, but he loves romance and he wants to be absolutely swept off his feet and he definitely believes in love at first sight and the idea of soulmates. he’s just a sweet boy okay.

who is their love interest?

griffin!!!!! they’re jock boyfriends! and griffin has suitably swept harrison off his feet! they’re really mushy and sweet with each other and they’re very in tune with each other’s moods + they support each other implicitly! griffin is taller even still than harrison which makes him a bit 😳💦 ahskshsks

what are they afraid of?

losing atlas, primarily!!! second of all is losing his humanity! it really weighs on him the fact that someone hated him so violently that he had to kill, and he has violent ptsd from it! pixelberry let me send my son to therapy challenge. other than that he’s afraid of spiders and of wasps because he’s allergic to wasps & bees like. really badly. but bees r friends tho they’re chill.

what are their guilty pleasures?

harrison loves a bit of like…. the scooby doo: mystery cove series. he loves scooby doo in general and people were big mad about that series and he’s like… yeah… but also… it’s fun…. fred proposing to daphne with an onion ring…. baelor hotner….. an evil parrot… he just loves it it’s fun!

what was their dream job as a kid? is it still their dream? 

when he was little he wanted to be a mermaid and now he can breathe underwater so i guess he’s halfway there! he doesn’t really know what his new dream is, he just wants to be happy, and he’s on his way there now!

have they ever broken a bone?

he broke his arm when he was little when he fell off the swing in his back yard but other than that he’s been pretty lucky!

have they ever been in trouble with the law?

no he’s a good boy! the troublemaking one is atlas “be trans and bi and do crimes” hwang

+ three other random facts about them!

harrison is a trans man which is half why he didn’t recognize atlas when he first saw him, since he assumed any identical twin he had would have been fem/fem presenting! atlas is transmasc nonbinary and uses they/he pronouns!! harrison’s favourite colours are yellow and pink! last fact is that he loves to bake and his favourite thing to do is make and decorate cupcakes with his moms you will NOT convince me his adoptive parents are a traditional family unit they are lesbians and they love their sons very much yes sons plural they adopted atlas too since theia is a shit mother

ask me about my choices mcs!

I’m Home||Daniel Seavey||Why Don’t We Imagine||Part 2

The last part in @avanunez13‘s request. Enjoy!

The rain taps on your windowsill as you sit on the nook window seat in your dorm, the clouds dropping a storm on your campus. You watch it pour and pour, not a thought in your mind. You listen to the sound of the rain, the thunder making your walls shake. As much as you missed the sunny skies of Los Angeles, you had grown to love the rain. It reminded you of Daniel. 

The puddles on the ground reflecting the blue sky of the following day made you think of Daniel’s eyes. The droplets of rain that fell on your skin made you think of the water fights you two would have in the kitchen of your apartment. The smell made you think about Daniel’s scent; always fresh and welcoming. The thunder was like Daniel’s laugh, piercingly loud. 

You missed him immensely. You’d been at Berkeley for four months now. He texted you good morning and good night every single day without fail. The number of ‘I love you’s’ exchanged between the two of you had exceeded your ability to count. He was your everything, and you were his. 

“When are you going to visit? I’d give anything to kiss you right now.” Daniel pouted. You had just gotten back from your last class of the day and had automatically FaceTimed him. 

“As soon as I can, babe. Flying there and back for Thanksgiving and Christmas took a lot of money.” You shoot him a sad smile and turn away from him, changing into your pajama shirt. When you turn back around, his cheeks are the cutest shade of pink, his eyes wide. You giggle and grab a bag of makeup wipes. This seemed to have become your daily routine. You texted Daniel right when you woke up, went to class, came back from class, and FaceTimed Daniel while getting ready for bed. 

He watches as you took off your makeup, telling you about his day and the projects he was working on with the boys. Just hearing his voice made you smile... but it wasn’t enough. You wanted to hold him, to kiss him, to wake up next to him in the morning. But with 400 hundred miles between you, it had to be enough, for now anyway. 

You hear the door to your dorm open and you peek your head around your bed frame. 

“Y/N/N! I’m home!” Your roommate, Ashley calls from down the hall. She walks into the bedroom, dropping her backpack on the floor. She has he curly brown hair unbound, it hanging down her back. Her glasses perch on the bridge of her nose, making her brown eyes look smaller than they are. A beauty-spot stands out on her lip against he tan skin. 

She kicks of her Adidas and plops on to her bed. She closes her eyes, covering them with her forearm. “Hey Daniel.” She says sweetly in her Colombian accent that you’ve grown to love. 

“Hi, Ashley!” He cheers, waving to the camera even though she can’t see him. You let out a little laugh, and smile. 

You and Daniel stay on FaceTime until you can barely keep your eyes open. On some nights, like this one, he would sing you to sleep. 

“You told me not to cry when you were gone But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong Can I lay by your side, next to you, you And make sure you’re alright I’ll take care of you, And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight “

You drift off to sleep before you could hear Daniel whisper, “Goodnight princess. See you soon.” 

“Where are you going?” You walk into your dorm on Friday after your last class to see Ashley packing a backpack with clothes and other essentials. She looks up from her bag and back down again. 

“I’m going home for the weekend for my brother’s birthday. I’ll be back in time for my night-class on Monday.” You watch your new best friend pack up the rest of her things and walk her down to her car. 

“You gonna be okay by yourself?” She asks, wrapping you in a big hug. 

“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry ‘bout me.” You smile at her as she pulls away. 

“Why don’t you get dinner with the girls? They’re going out to sushi, your favorite.” She grins, making you laugh. Daniel said he couldn’t FT you tonight because he had a dinner-meeting with some of the band’s producers. 

“Guess I’m filling myself with raw fish tonight.” You giggle as Ashley drops herself into the drivers seat of her car. “Text me when you get to your house.” You hold the car door open, leaning against it. 

“Yes, Mom.” Ashley says, rolling her eyes. You smile as you close her door. She rolls down the window as she starts up the engine. “Love you. See you on Monday.” You blow her a kiss and watch as she pulls out of the parking lot. 

Ash stops at a red light down the street and pulls out her phone. She scrolls through her contacts and hits Daniel’s number. 

“You’ve got the time you asked for. She doesn’t suspect a thing.” He can hear the smirk in her voice.

With a stomach filled with raw salmon belly and tempura shrimp, you hobble to the door of your dorm, waving goodbye to your friends down the hall. You sigh as you fumble in your purse to find your keys. After digging, more digging, and deciding to add ‘clean out purse’ to your to do list, you unlock the door. Opening it, you’re greeted by hundreds of pink, yellow, and white roses. You gasp, dropping your keys on the ground. You know they’re from Daniel. You know he had sent them. And you know, that he had finally found you. 

You push the door closed and lock it. You lean down to pick up your keys, still in awe by Daniel’s gesture, but when you look down at the floor, you find your keys are gone. 

“I believe you dropped these.” Your eyes widen as a voice fills your ears. You bolt upright and search for the source of the voice you love so much. You find Daniel leaning against the wall, throwing your keys in the air and catching them with one hand. Your face breaks into a huge smile as you launch yourself into your boyfriend’s arms. 

“Dani!” You yell as you bury your face in his shoulder. 

“Hi, princess.” He smiles, tightening his arms around your waist. You feel tears threaten to spill from your eyes and do your best to hold them back, knowing that Daniel wouldn’t want you to cry. He pulls away and frames your face with his hands, pushing your hair away. His eyes scan your face, landing on your lips. You throw your arms around his neck and pull him close, kissing him deeply. When the two of you break apart, you rest your forehead against his, smiling like an idiot. “I’m home.” He mumbles under his breath as he holds you in his arms.

 The two of you stay like that for a moment, your arms around his neck, his around your waist. Every part of you touching him burning with an undeniable fire. You push him playfully, a smile still on your lips. 

“You lied to me! You said you had a meeting.” He shoves his hands in the pockets of his denim jacket and shrugs. 

“If I hadn’t, my surprise wouldn’t have been very surprising.” You shake your head as you take him in. He was wearing his green beanie, hiding, what you can  only assume is his bed-head. You loved how in the morning Daniel’s hair looked like the head feathers of a palm cockatoo. 

He’s wearing a grey hoodie underneath his white-wash denim jacket. Daniel reaches out and takes your hands in his. Looking down at your intertwined fingers, you notice that he’s wearing the ring you had given him. It’s a black band with a single line of midnight blue running along the middle. You remember being worried that he wouldn’t like it. 

He matches your gaze and smiles down at the ring. “I wear it everyday,” Your wide eyes find his. “Never take off really. It’s like my good luck charm in a way.” He shrugs casually when it’s anything but to you. 

“Well I’m glad you like it.” You voice breaks as you say it, the tears once again pooling in your eyes. Daniel just gives you a sad smile, pulling you into his chest. 

You lay in bed next to Daniel, cuddling close. You rest your head on his bare chest, looking at the roses he had spread around you dorm. Daniel pulls the blanket up over our shoulders and plants a gentle kiss on your forehead. 

“Go to sleep.” He whispers, drawing invisible circles on your lower back. You turn on to your stomach, resting your chin on his shoulder.

“But I don’t want to miss a second with you.” You smile, your eyes bright in the darkness of the room. 

“I’m not going anywhere.” 

EPILOGUE

*five years later*

“Are you ready?” Your dad asks, his hands in his pants pockets. 

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” You take one last look in the mirror. You straighten the sparkling tiara in your hair and run your hands down your sides, flattening your mermaid wedding dress. You place a stray lock of hair behind your ear and take your bouquet from Ashley. 

“You look beautiful, Y/N.” She says, hugging you tight. “I better get out there. Good luck.” Letting you go, she scurries off to Jack’s side, the two of them walking down the aisle as your maid of honor and Daniel’s best man. When they disappear from view, you take your father’s arm and wait in front of the double doors. 

You step outside into the rose garden, your dad holding you tight. Everyone attending the wedding stands on the grass, watching your graceful decent down the aisle. You smile at everyone, but that smile couldn’t compare to the one that spreads across your face when your eyes land on Daniel. He looks so handsome, his blue eyes shining in the sunlight, his black suit crisp on his shoulders. 

When you get to Daniel, you kiss your dad on the cheek, his eyes glossy. He places your hand in Daniel’s and takes his seat next to your mother. You hand your bouquet to Ashley, and look into the eyes on the gorgeous boy you saw at the concert. His eyes are equally has wet as yours. You smile, taking a deep breath. You’ve been waiting for this day ever since you were a little girl. 

Daniel’s father performs the wedding ceremony, his voice smooth as he addresses everyone. “....I believe the bride and groom have prepared their own vows.” He looks at you and you clear your throat,  focusing on Daniel. 

“Daniel, I’ve loved you for five and a half years. And in that time, you’ve made me a better person. You supported me, you built up my confidence, you encouraged me to be the best version of myself. You make me smile when I’m at my lowest of lows. You make my laugh when all I want to do is cry. You’re my light in a sea of darkness. 

“The truth is, I had given up on love until I met you. That night at the concert, I was lost. I didn’t know what my purpose was, and that all changed when I laid eyes on you. You complete me in a way that no else can. You make me feel wanted, loved. You opened my eyes to everything good in the world with your goofy smile and ridiculous laugh. You, Daniel James Seavey, are one in a billion, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Daniel blinks away tears as you finish, wiping one away with the back of his hand. He clears his throat and glances at the sky before continuing with his vows. 

“Wow, I don’t know how to top that but here we go,” You let out a breathy laugh, smiling broadly as Daniel looks into your eyes. “Y/N, you are like no one else that I’ve ever met. You’re beautiful, you’re smart, your sarcasm rivals even Jack’s. You follow your dreams; no matter how hard you have to work to get to the top. You inspire me. 

“When I saw you that night, I knew you were special; I knew I had to make you mine. Ever since our first date, you made me laugh harder than I thought possible. What we have is an unbreakable bond that I’ll never, ever find with anyone else. People spend their whole lives searching for this thing that I’ve been blessed enough to find with you. 

“I promise that I’ll be the best husband I can be; buying your favorite ice cream, bringing in the mail, and catching spiders. And in return, I know that you’ll welcome me home from tour with your horrible cooking and by reminding me that you’re always right when we argue. 

“Loving you has been the single, best thing I’ll ever do in my life. And I thank God everyday that I’ll be able to continue to love you until my last breath.” Tears stream down your face as you say your ‘I do’s’. You shake your head in disbelief as Daniel slides your wedding ring on to your finger. 

“You may kiss the bride.” Daniel takes your face in his hands, using his thumbs to wipe away your fallen tears. He gently pulls you toward him until you’re in his arms, and he kisses you. 

You hear the boys performing in the main hall of the venue. You had just changed into a baby blue dress with a long trail. You slip on your white, open-toe heels and wait for Daniel. You don’t hear when Daniel opens the door or his footsteps on the carpet. He snakes his arms around your waist and rests his chin on your shoulder. You flinch, letting out a small yelp. He chuckles into your shoulder and you smile. You were married to the man of your dreams and nothing else mattered. He takes you by the hand and leads you into the main hall. 

“Now introducing Mister and Missus Daniel Seavey!”

never let me go

series: yuri on ice pairings: Victor/Yuuri tags: romance, fluff, alternate universe notes: this might be the sappiest thing I’ve written. Ever. Anyways, Victor lives in some unnamed coastal town in the US, somewhere in New England probably. There’s another story in this universe I’ve dubbed the Yuri Incident, mostly because I had two ideas for a mermaid!au, one which was this, and the other a whacky story about Yuri’s summer vacation when he discovers his cousin Victor is dating a fish, but the local coal plant has been dumping waste into the ocean (causing Yuuri to get extremely ill), so Yuri goes on a hare-brained plot to bring it down.

summary: Victor’s boyfriend might have a tail instead of legs, but they make it work. 

read on ao3

-- 

At least once every month, Victor takes his softest, largest quilt and drives during the latest of hours to a secret cove hidden by moss and old overgrowth.

It didn’t used to be so secret – back before all the tourists noticed the small coastal town, it used to be known as Lover’s Nook. Someone had even laid out stones for a path, where it was worn smooth. Then the tourists started to come, boosting their economy and letting the spot fade away from memory in the excitement that followed. Now there is a fallen tree in the way, where moss and ivy hangs from the branches and obscures the stone path.

There are names, initials, and little messages that are carved into the trees as you walk down it. Inside the cove on the rock itself are years of love letters.

Victor has once taken a sharp rock, drawing a heart and wrote: VICTOR + YUURI. It was so cliché, so cheesy and he’d smiled giddily the entire time. Yuuri loved it too; he traced the lines with his precious fingers and smiled so pretty. Victor wants to see that expression on his face forever.

Tonight, Victor parks his car by the road as he always does and walks the rest of the way there, using his phone’s flashlight so he can see through the dark of the woods. He steps carefully over the branches, brushing green out of his way, and onto smooth stone. The path of love, as he likes to call it.

When he finally makes it down into the cove, he sits by the water with the quilt in his lap and waits for Yuuri.

--

Yuuri’s tail is showy with varying shades of blue that freckles with tiny pale spots. His fins veil-like as it trails, fine as lace. It used to make him self-conscious – such a flirty thing – and during performances he wouldn’t know what to do with it. But, Victor once caressed his hand down the side of his tail and murmured that it looked as if someone had painted the galaxy onto it. The memory makes him smile now, a dark thrill he takes to his dance which proudly shows in seductive flares.

Victor is always careful when he wraps Yuuri up in the old quilt. He kisses skin and scales, tucking every little bit of tail inside the blanket with such gentleness that it makes Yuuri just a little flustered. He knows Victor is scared of tearing the delicate membranes of his fins, which is such a cute fear, honestly. Yuuri’s already ripped them so many times on reefs and from plastic in the ocean so it’s not a new thing for him. Fins heal quickly. But the way Victor furrows his brows in concentration and worry is so sweet.

Victor inspects him one last time to make sure nothing is sticking out. Then, he puts his arms under Yuuri’s arms and tail, lifting him. Yuuri delights in this show of strength and Victor shows it off, even as his muscles tire and his face turns red with exertion under his weight as he walks them up the path.

“My dearest fisherman,” Yuuri sings the whole time with a pat to his cheek. “How far will he go when his arms shakes me so?”

“This fisherman would carry you across mountains,” Victor manages to wheeze out and Yuuri laughs.

He tells him, “You dropped me the first time.”

“And I kissed you better!” Victor smooches his nose. “Just like this. And this.” A wet smack to the neck and another to the blanket-covered shoulder. Yuuri shrieks through his laughter.

“Stop! You’ll drop me again!”

“This fisherman has the strength of a hundred – no, a thousand men. I will never drop you.” Victor adjusts his grip when they get to the fallen tree, maneuvering carefully through the branches even as he teases Yuuri.

Somehow, they make it to his car with no incident.

--

There are stacks of books and even more Internet bookmarks on ocean mythology at Victor’s house. He’s read so many, but his attention always turns to the old Hans Christian Anderson tale of The Little Mermaid. The story bothers him on so many levels, and he reads it to Yuuri just to complain.

“He just treats her like a pet,” he says. He’s sitting on the floor and leaning against the couch, facing the inflatable kiddie pool that’s set up for Yuuri. It’s too small to accommodate all of his tail so it drapes over one side where the fin trails out. “And how could he not notice the amount of pain she’s in when she’s dancing? Then this bastard goes and falls in love with some other woman.” He’s so offended every time he reads it.

“He was in love with the princess from the start,” Yuuri reminds him with small amusement. “They loved each other and the Mermaid saw it and let it go.” He studies Victor for a moment then asks, “Why does it make you so sad?”

Victor crawls forward to the plastic pool. He cups Yuuri’s face. “If I were the prince, I would drape you in jewels and kiss your feet. I’d carry you so your feet wouldn’t have to touch the ground. I would show you off and everybody would know how gorgeous you are.”

“My fisherman prince,” Yuuri says dryly, but he’s smiling. Victor traces the contours of his face almost absent-mindedly with his thumb, and commits this moment to memory. The way the morning sun lights up the flecks of red in his irises and how it makes the water sparkle around him. Yuuri always shines, but like this, he looks so soft and warm and inviting.

“How can he think of anything else?” Victor says softly. He never wants Yuuri to feel forced to change himself for him.

Yuuri leans forward and nuzzles into his hand. “You’re projecting.”

“Maybe just a little.” Victor closes the final distance and breathes him in.

--

After the first time, Makkachin learns not to jump into Yuuri’s pool, but she still tries to get as close to him as possible. She’s always confused by his tail and likes to bark at it. But she’s smart enough to realize that it’s a part of his anatomy so doesn’t bite.

She keeps him company on the days Victor is at work, bringing him toys and affection. She brings her leash once and is so despondent about not being able to go on a walk that she just collapses onto the floor with a low whine. Yuuri feels terrible about it and wonders if he should bargain for legs, just for her.

But the old girl gets up, and goes to the windows to bark at squirrels. Yuuri loves her immensely.

When Victor comes back, he has a plastic bag of something delicious. “Honey, I’m home,” he sing-songs. Makkachin howls with excitement, rushing him, and her tail is wagging so fast that it’s a blur. Yuuri snorts with laughter and admires Victor in his suit.

“Welcome home,” he sings back. Victor leans down to peck him on the lips. “Mm. What did you get?” His stomach grumbles.

“Pad-Thai,” Victor says. “Noodles. I got yours with beef and shrimp. How was our girl?”

“Brave as always. She certainly taught those squirrels a lesson!”

Victor coos at Makkachin as she whines and rolls on the floor for him. “Such a good girl,” he tells her. “Who’s a good girl? You are, you are our good girl! Makka-Makka-Makkachin!” He gets her so excited that she barks and wriggles her butt.

But he sees the leash and freezes. He glances at Yuuri who sighs and waves his hand.

“I can handle being hungry for twenty more minutes,” he says. Victor nods, but he stares at him for a while. Yuuri tilts his head, curious. “What is it?” he finally asks when Victor doesn’t say anything.

“It’s just,” Victor starts and trails off.

“Just…?” Yuuri prompts. There’s an odd smile spreading across Victor’s face.

“It just occurred to me that I am a lucky man.”

It’s sentimental and adoring – Yuuri covers his face and squeaks out, “Just go walk her!” Victor laughs, kissing his hair before leaving. When he hears the door shut, Yuuri finally uncovers his face.

He’s smiling so hard that his cheeks hurt.

--

Yuuri is fascinated by humans dancing and Victor’s YouTube recommendations is now being overtaken by various dancing videos along with funny cats, Gordon Ramsey, figure-skating, and space documentaries. Yuuri has such eclectic taste.

If there’s one aspect of his anatomy that Victor doesn’t like, then it’s how he can’t personally take him dancing. Victor wishes he could twirl Yuuri around and dip him. He wants to engage in a passionate tango and other times, he dreams about slow dancing in the rain. Yuuri’s tail is long and heavy, and even if he picks him up, it’ll drag on the floor. So to compensate, Victor holds him in a bridal carry and spin him around or sway. He’s lighter without the added weight of the quilt so it’s easier, but his arms will scream at him after a while.

Still, it’s worth it to hear Yuuri’s melodic humming in his ears and feel his arms around his neck. His shirt is completely drenched with water at this point but he doesn’t care.

Victor manages to do a small dip sway and Yuuri sighs happily. “How do merpeople dance?” he asks.

“I’ll show you one day,” Yuuri answers.

--

He likes to take baths with Victor. After washing each other’s hairs and bodies, Victor will fill the tub with new water and fill it with bubbles. They manage to fit both of them in the cramped tub somehow with Yuuri laying against Victor’s chest in an embrace. Victor’s legs are splayed on either side of them awkwardly and Yuuri’s tail has to drape over the side, but they make it work and cuddle lazily.

“Did you know Yuri is famous at school now?” Victor murmurs into the crook of his neck. He’s referring to his younger cousin who met Yuuri a few months ago. It was an interesting time, not one that either of them thinks of too fondly for Yuuri had almost died from water pollution.

“Is he?” Yuuri yawns as he strokes Victor’s arms. Behind him, he can feel Victor nodding. He feels sleepy with content.

“His classmates figured out it was him who got arrested during the summer and now they think he’s in the Russian mafia. They’re more terrified than they ever have been.”

Yuuri laughs incredulously. Yuri is a good kid at heart, even if he is a little shit. He saved his life after all. Victor expresses his agreement with a deep kiss.

--

It always feels a little bittersweet when Victor wraps Yuuri back up in the blanket and drives back to the cove. He won’t be coming home to Yuuri everyday anymore, but he’ll come down to the sea or to the cove instead.

There is a small boat in the cove that Yuuri had found somewhere and stashed ever since. He slips back into the water with ease while Victor rolls up his sweats and wades out, pushing the boat further and further until he can climb in and let Yuuri take control of it.

Yuuri steers the boat out through a narrow opening and into the sea. Victor takes a deep breath, revels in the caress of the salty wind.

He’s deep out into the sea now, but he’s not worried. Even if Yuuri suddenly loses the boat, the local colony knows him. The human man that loves one of their own and more importantly, brings him back to the ocean. They like his cousin Yuri more of course, but Victor is still accepted and they will help him should he ever need it.

Beside the boat, Yuuri pops his head out of the water, eyes sparkling. He pulls his upper body to the side and touches his face.

“Hello, fisherman.” He’s being coy and Victor leans forward.

“My, what a lovely creature. Do you come here often?” He punctuates this with a wink, which makes Yuuri roll his eyes. He moves his hands down to Victor’s arms.

“Dance with me, Victor,” he sings and pulls him under. The water is cold and the salt burns his throat. A tingly kiss is pressed between his brows and Victor can open his eyes. Another kiss to his lips, chaste, but something warm passes into him and he can breathe.

Floating in front of him, Yuuri is smiling. “It only lasts for an hour, but it’s enough,” he says. His voice sounds strange under water. Eerie. Haunting. Melodic. Victor is reminded of the way Yuuri’s face warps sometimes, the way it goes alien when his eyes gets too sharp or his lips too full, or even the way his face becomes too beautiful and terrifying. It’s a reminder of his nature, but Victor will never avert his eyes.

In the water he can’t speak, so he nods instead. Yuuri’s eyes flash gold. “Watch,” he says. “Watch.”

And Victor does, as Yuuri dances around him. It’s subtle and seductive. It makes Victor breathless and he moves with him, feels the way Yuuri’s tail sensually brush against his legs. Close, intimate. Passionate, and then slow as Yuuri cradles his cheeks with both hands, looking right at him, and sways. His fins are spread out around them like lace, like ruffles on a dress, like a wedding veil, and the way it moves in the water is absolutely ethereal. Divine.

Gods, Victor never wants this to end.

--

Afterwards, Yuuri pulls himself and Victor into the boat and curls against him. They lay, staring at the wide, glittering sky above. Yuuri blushes at the memory of their dance and hopes no one tells Victor it was a rendition of another certain dance.

“The stars reflect your tail,” Victor says, still breathless. Yuuri wants to kiss him and so he does.

“Isn’t it the other way around,” he mumbles into his lips and he feels it curl. “You said someone painted the galaxy on me.”

“Clearly I was wrong,” Victor assures. He moves his hands to Yuuri’s hips and strokes there adoringly. “The galaxy was made because of you.”

Yuuri can’t even laugh. He rests his head on the other man’s chest, closing his eyes and listens to the sound of a beloved heart beating. He wishes Victor could stay all night. He’s happy Victor could trust him like this.

“That is so cheesy. Movie-worthy.”

“Is my darling blushing?” Victor sounds delighted and Yuuri nips him in warning. Victor’s chest rumbles when he laughs, and he moves his hand over Yuuri’s wet back.

Yuuri sighs, thinks of a pair of golden rings he’d found in a shipwreck. Next time, surely.

Ed. Note: If you’re looking for healthy food in Memphis, contributor Stacey has started a list of places to eat healthy, with a focus on salads that aren’t boring, that are filling, and most importantly, delicious. This isn’t everywhere to get a great salad, of course. If you have favorites, please put them in the comments!  I like to think of salads as nachos made with lettuce instead of chips. Doesn’t that sound nice? But really, I could – and should — eat a salad every day, and I almost always end up wracking my brain trying to remember who has a good one. Now I’ve made this lovely list of my tried-and-true go-to salads, so all of us to can refer to it as needed. Chicken Salad Salad at Edge Alley Edge Alley is one of my favorite places to get a salad. They have several good ones to choose from, they have awesome window seating and best of all, I get to have a second coffee of the day. (Carbonated cold brew FTW.) I really like the Shrimp Cobb (below) but lately the Chicken Salad Salad ($8) has been my go to. It’s a tad heartier and has great flavor. All of the salads are made with arugula so they don’t feel massive. Made with local chicken, mango, peanuts, tomato, onion, and radish, the Chicken Salad Salad is a winner. Also very important to note: You can add bacon, avocado and/or a fried egg to anything for $2 each. Read more about Edge Alley here. Gaspacho Salad at Maciel’s Look, I know it’s hard to bypass the taco menu at Maciel’s, but they have what is probably my very most favorite salad ever – the Gaspacho Salad ($7.75!!!). I really don’t understand the name as it has nothing to do with cold tomato soup, so just put that out of your mind. It’s a heaping portion of grilled steak, diced mango, chopped cilantro, tomatoes, onion, sliced avocado and shredded lettuce. It’s served with chipotle dressing and you can spice it up with one of the other house made sauces if you like. Ok, sure, the shredded lettuce is not providing the highest nutritional content a salad has ever offered, but it’s not a fried tortilla, right? And yes, the other salads at Maciel’s are pretty freaking good too. Read more about Maciel’s here. The Memphis Cobb at Carolina Watershed Pulled pork on a salad? Yes, please. According to the menu, the Memphis Cobb ($12.50) includes a nice serving of pulled pork, Carolina Watershed smoked applewood bacon, blue cheese crumbles, roasted cherry tomatoes, sweet onions and avocado. Our version also featured grilled corn, pickled onions, a hardboiled egg and a nice toast…your mileage may vary. Still a very solid choice. Be the Chef at Cheffie’s For those of you who like your salad the way you like it, then Cheffie’s is for you. (They have several signature salads to choose from if you don’t want to do the hard work of deciding too.) For $9.95 you can create your own masterpiece from a choice of greens (romaine, baby spinach, kale, or mixed greens), proteins (chicken, turkey, ham, roast beef, pimento cheese, tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad), and more cheeses, fruit & veggie toppings, crunchies and dressings than I can list here. A basic bowl comes with one of everything, except toppings—you can choose up to four of those. There’s a small charge for double meat and any extras if you do not want to be constrained by any rules. The key at Cheffie’s, no matter what you get, is to let them CHOP IT ALL UP for you. It’s just somehow better that way. Shawerma Salad at Casablanca The Shawerma Salad ($10) is another one of my very most favorite salads, and I am amazed every time when I order it because it means I had the willpower to forgo the delicious falafel, hummus and pita. I do not pass up the tea though. I’m not completely crazy! Now, I do need to state for the record that there are two ways to get the Shawerma Salad. One is to just order it off the menu. The other way is to order a small Greek Salad ($5) and add lamb ($7). What’s the difference? The latter option gets you feta cheese and banana peppers. Both are key in my opinion and only the Greek has them. Lettuce, tomato, onion, black olives and cucumbers are on both. There’s also more meat options if you go with the Greek. It can be complicated, if you want it to be. Ha! Grille 901 (http://bit.ly/2F5fXSH) also has a fairly good approximation of this for $8.98 ($5.99 Greek Salad plus $1.99 for lamb) if you want a grab and go option, or something a little more casual. Get in the Chopper at City Silo Table + Pantry I want to eat EVERYTHING at City Silo. I love it so much. I wish it was in Midtown or Downtown. The Buffalo Tempeh and Sesame Cauliflower Bowl is my boyfriend, but sometimes I cheat on him with a salad. The Get in the Chopper ($11) is the most popular, and yes, it’s all chopped up and easy to eat. It features arugula, quinoa, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, roasted pepitas, raisins, balsamic, pink salt, parmesan (if you want) and comes with cashew basil aioli. I add tempeh ($1.50), because where else can you add tempeh? You can also add avocado, egg, and/or chicken. Live it up! Memphis Belle at Tamp & Tap Tamp & Tap has overhauled their menu to give it a fresher, healthier feel. There are several new salads and The Memphis Belle ($9) makes a great lunch. The base is fresh spinach and the toppings are top notch –strawberries, feta, pickled onions, candied pecans, HALF an avocado, and in this case, grilled chicken (add $2). The chicken was served warm and gave the whole salad a really nourishing feel. The balsamic vinaigrette was the perfect final note. This seemingly simple salad will surprise you. This is also another great spot to sneak in a second coffee. Read more about Tamp & Tap.  Beef Salad at Bhan Thai The Beef Salad ($11.25) at Bhan Thai hits all of the right notes and lights up your mouth. Tender filets of beef are doused in a spicy mixture of lime, onions, and roasted chili pepper sauce; garnished with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers; and served atop a bed of fresh greens. Simple and delicious and you don’t miss having rice. Read more about Bhan Thai.  Portabella Salad at Central Barbecue For some it may seem blasphemous to go to Central and not get barbecue, but the salads at Central are worth a trip of their own, and they also provide an option for any vegetarians visiting Memphis who want to experience this local favorite restaurant. Central’s salads all build off of the basic House Salad ($5.25) which is romaine lettuce, carrots & red cabbage, served in a sun-dried tomato-basil tortilla bowl, topped with shredded colby-jack, tomatoes & pepperoncini peppers. If you want to add meat, it’s called a BBQ Chef Salad ($9.99). And if you want to add a portabella, and trust me, you do, it’s simply called the Portabella Salad ($7.35). Central grills the 7-8″ portabella mushrooms and marinates them in balsamic vinegar, olive oil & spices and makes them taste SO good. Grilled Salmon Nicoise at Majestic Grill If you are looking for a salad to fill you up, then the Grilled Salmon Nicoise ($11) is the ticket. A really nice serving of perfectly cooked salmon rests on a bed of greens and is surrounded by an amazing supporting cast – a hardboiled egg, artichoke hearts, black olives, green beans and tomatoes. Not surprisingly, this is one of many fine salads on the menu. You could spend a work week trying them all – the Majestic Cobb, The Seared Tuna, The Chophouse Salad, and The Old Post Office Waldorf are all just as worthy of their own starring role.  Shrimp Salad at The Cove For a dive bar that specializes in oysters, the Cove has a pretty nice selection of salads. There’s the Classic Caesar, the Mermaid (a wedge), the Port (featuring a portabella mushroom) and my pick, the Shrimp Salad ($12). It’s basic, but the five large seasoned grilled shrimp are flavorful and not too filling. Placed atop romaine lettuce and decorated with grape tomatoes, goat cheese and purple onion, the whole thing is lightly tossed with house made garlic lemon vinaigrette and topped with croutons. Goes great with a nice can of Wiseacre or one of their signature cocktails. And gives you a great excuse (“You had a healthy dinner”) to order Not Wings or Stoner Pie later in the evening! Field Trip Greens at Lunchbox Eats I’m not going to lie. The Field Trip Greens Salad ($10) with avocado ($4) and fried tenders ($4) may be the most expensive salad I’ve ever eaten ($18). And, I’m hoping I went on a day that they accidentally only put the teeniest amount of chicken tenders on my salad (accident?) But, having said that, this salad has good bones. There are homemade pickles, a tasty corn muffin, grilled corn, roasted peppers, and fun crunchies. I say no avocado is worth $4, but advocate for a nice serving of tenders and absolutely get a giant tumbler of lemonade. Made fresh each day, it’ll put a smile on your face no matter what happens to your salad! Holly here. Stacey and I had a few more we wanted to add in… Make Your Own Salad at Pyro’s Pyro’s is a local chain that is all about fast and affordable. Most people know them for their fast pizzas that you build yourself by choosing proteins, veggies, and other toppings. But, I actually love them for their salads, which are similarly constructed to order. It it my number one go-to when I’m in a hurry and need something filling and healthy. I get a large salad topped with shredded Cajun chicken, marinated zucchini and peppers, sliced almonds, feta, broccoli, and poppy seed dressing on the side. (The photo here is a slightly different version, also Pyro’s bread is now served in little rolls rather than like what’s pictured.) Mama’s Real Greek Salad at Rendezvous  Another salad from a barbecue restaurant?! Yep, I’m going to tell you the truth: the Greek salad from the Rendezvous is underrated. It’s colorful and fresh, with cucumbers, green peppers, tomatoes, olives, red onions, pepperoncinis, and feta, all tossed in some kind of magical Greek-seasoned vinaigrette. I’d eat it by itself, or with a side of brisket. Build Your Own Salad at Wild Beet Salad Co.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Wild Beet Salad Company (@wildbeetsaladco) on Dec 8, 2017 at 9:35am PST Wild Beet (originally known as Lettuce Eat) is a make-your-own salad place where you go down the line and have the attendants build you a delicious meal with the ingredients that you choose. They have a huge selection of options for proteins, including shrimp, quinoa, chicken, turkey, and more, plus just about every vegetable or other topping you can think of.

September 16, 2017 AH so today is essentially my last day in Singapore cause I’ll be at the airport at 3am the next day. And wow it was amazing. Throughout the entire day though, I was just thinking about you and how amazing it would be if you were there. Travelling with people who aren’t that close to your heart is just really different. But nonetheless, its an experience that I will be thinking about for quite some time. Singapore really captured my heart today, cause I actually got to explore more and see what it has to offer. The sights from practically anywhere is beautiful, and the whole city is just so well run. Our day started off with a tour of Chinatown! It was a 2.5 hour tour starting at 9:30, and it was really cool. I felt like I learned a lot about the history, and our tour guide was amazing! She spoke fluent English, and always stopped to give witty and funny comments. She also went extremely in depth when describing each event that had happened. However, the one Canadian girl, shes white, thought the tour was boring l o l. typical. I was kinda annoyed because shes just kind of culturally insensitive, so this tour was just not a good overall choice I guess for her. Oh yeah, jonghong also didn’t come on the tour with us because he was too tired, so we ended up meeting him after the tour was over at Maxwell Food Center again for lunch! I got the Hainanese chicken rice again hehe, and omg the line was so long this time. It wrapped around the building… yeah but it was worth it as expected! I also got myself a mango juice, and that was really good!! I think mangos are a huge thing here.. everywhere I go their specialties will always include mangos haha. After lunch, we decided to go to Gardens by the bay. Gardens by the bay has two main components, the cloud forest and the flower garden. Both were incredible. My favorite one was probably the cloud forest, because it was really green and misty and basically you would take an elevator up and then walk in a spiral back down. That waterfall picture is at the cloud forest! It was just overall really pretty to be in. everything felt really surreal. I was kind of annoyed, because celine always asked me to take pictures, and I don’t mind casue I know how it feels to want cute pictures? But omg I would always take the best pictures for her, and then her pictures for me would be crooked, blurry, and etc. and im just literally like girl. If you take another shitty picture, I will do the same.. like bruhhhh UGH it was just really annoying for me. LOL I need my expert photographer boyfriend basically. It was also kind of frustrating because everyone just had such low energy, so everyone was just super tired, and Idk maybe I just had too much energy? I just wanted to have conversations and talk and laugh WHILE exploring Singapore, but it was more like just walking from place to place in silence. The flower garden was also beautiful, it was much more colorful and its where I took the cinderella picture! Im still waiting on my carriage!! But yeah it was also quite cool, ike they had mini gardens with themes for each one. Like there was a small patch of different kinds of aloe, so they called it “aloe in wonderland” and decorated with characters from the story. That was quite cool. Afterwards, we headed off to Sentosa Bay, because celine wanted a picture of the merlion, it’s the giant lion statue that has the body of a mermaid. According to the stories, the merlion is supposed to protect Singapore from floods and typhoons. Its really big, like we took the picture from a block away so that we could get the whole thing in LOL it was really annoying tho because celine was like super adamant about finding this statue, and when we got here she was like omg this isn’t the one. Turns out the one that she actually wanted a picture with was the one back in Marina Bay…. Like omg did you not do your research???? Confused af. But we still took a good amount of pictures, and then we went to walk around the mini park the lion was in. we stopped by hard rock café for a snack because we were all hungry and I was still craving some good fries. LOL everyone got nachos which looked good but I just wasn’t feeling it so I got some garlic fries. Meh…. Ive had much better but I guess I just have to make do. After going to hard rock, jonghong wanted to show us this one beach that’s manmade I honestly forgot the name..im gonna have to look it up lol but it was pretty ugly. I think its funny cause everything is manmade, even the beaches. Like normal beaches are sloping ya know, so like if you walk out in the sand you’ll be slowly getting deeper, for this beach, it slopes for like 2 feet then drops straight down LOOOL so like if you ever go walking in the beach, if you take like an extra step youd just fall all the way in. LMAO smh smh we also saw a peacock getting chased by a little girl…. Smh Asians control your kids. And celine was annoying me again cause she just refused to go anywhere and sat on the ground, so all of us were like ok lets go back. So we decided to head back to the hostel. At this point it was probably around 6:30-7? So we got back to our hostel around 7:30, and we decided to meet up again at 9 to go out. We were supposed to shower but we were all so tired we just laid down and talked. Thank god celine was in a different room and it was just the three of us or I might have just been so done with her. Shes so high maintenance ugh. We met up again at 9, and decided to go try the really famous satay place in Singapore, its at the Telok Ayer Center, and its outside in stalls 7-8. Its actually quite cool, its like an outdoor satay restaurant, but if you look around theres like these TOWERING skyscrapers. I just thought it was cool to have someone as low scale as outdoor bbq, and then have these massive modern skyscrapers surrounding us. The satay was AMAZING. I don’t think ive ever had such good grilled prawns. That was probably one of my favorite things ive had. It was sooo good, and it was like 41 for 4 people, so I mean 10 per person is pretty worth!! I just loved it. I wanted to order more shrimp but I don’t think they enjoyed it as much as me. They liked the beef/lamb skewers more LOL Then after that we walked along Marina Bay, where we saw more amazing night views. I think I might have to post two different posts with more pictures because I cant show you everything… I think Singapore just looks so beautiful at night. Everything is lit up. We also found the actual merlion statue that celine was looking for, the one that shoots water and we took some photos there too. Whats really annoying is that there was a grand prix car race this weekend, so most of the walkways were closed so we had to take a lot of roundabouts and trying to get a taxi was also a bitch too l o l After the pictures, we headed to Clarke quay, at this point it was like 11pm at night? And we just found a nice bar to sit down in and drink a bit before going clubbing. I really wanted a gin lemon, which was a drink that my friend ordered for me? It might have been called something else, cause hes Spanish so what he told me could’ve been wrong. But the drink I got this time def was not it andit tasted like shit lol so didn’t drink it. And then we went to the club, and while we were walking across the bridge, this one drunk white guy pushes past Vivian and walks towards me and says “wait, hold up” and im like …? And then he tries to reach for my waist so I just back away and I kind of froze up when he came up again. Thankfully Jonghong was there, and kinda shielded me while I darted around him. Bleh drunk people. Entrance to the club is typically 30, but our waiter was nice and just told us to order a drink and they’ll let us in. so our drinks were like 22 dollars? So a little bit cheaper. I got something called the Queen of Hearts, and it was raspberry flavored? And it was actually pretty good. Lmao im so lame, I drank like half of it, and then my cheeks instantly flushed my head began pounding. But we went dancing for a bit, and it was really nicee!! The music was bomb and we were all in a good mood to dance. Everyone was pretty nice overall, no bs guys, and they had a lot of rave lights LOL we danced until 2:30 before jonghong started to feel sick again so we had to go back. We got home around 3, and we decided to lay down for 30 min before leaving for the airport. And that basically summed up my last day in Singapore!! oof what a long post. ^___^
