trick or treat!!!! + weather report >w<

Cold Hands from Cozy Autumn Prompts

There was something that really warmed your heart on the days when Weather took your hands in his. He stared into your eyes as he held your hands in his, you couldn't help but notice how his hands completely covered yours when he cupped his over yours. It was comforting... It made you feel safe and warm.

You watched as he made an opening between his cupped hands to gently blow warm air into the space to warm your hands up. He rubbed his hands against yours, you could especially feel the way his thumbs rubbed against the back of your hands as he did so.

You watched Weather's movements carefully... You were in awe of everything he did. He was just an interesting person to watch. There was something about his movements that seemed too perfect, or maybe it was because you were so enamored with him. Either way you tilted your head to the side a bit to get a better look at his eyes as he continued to attempt to warm up your cold hands.

"Better." Weather finally spoke up again as he gently rubbed your hands a bit more before bringing your hands up to his lips and gently kissing them.

"Thank you. I feel much warmer now." You said with a smile. Not only were your hands warmer, but your entire body felt much warmer too.

"I would've told you to wear mittens, but I prefer warming your hands this way." Weather admitted with a small smile.

It always caught you off guard when he said sweet little things like this. You couldn't help but lean against him a bit, wanting to feel more of his warmth against you.

"I prefer it when you warm my hands this way too."

SUMMARY: you were summoned to stop the crime spree of the renowned group The Boyz by hacking into one of the systems to retrieve information about a specified location before it's too late. what you did not expect was that their leader has been spying on every move you make from the shadows and eventually confronting you about it, which then turns into your biggest nightmare.

PAIRING: criminal Sangyeon x hacker f!reader

GENRE: smut (18+ MDNI!!)

WARNINGS: kissing, petnames (sweetheart, baby, princess), mentions about violence/illegal business (stealing), size kink, voyeurism, dirty talk, public sex, rough sex, fingering, handjob, p in v sex, unprotected sex, they went for rounds, mean dom! Sangyeon

WORD COUNT: 3,235

A/N: let me explain. it was the ✨stare✨ from the concept pic itself that gave me ideas for this fic 😭 huge thanks to my bubba @juyeonszn for beta reading this & convincing me to change my theme ily forever 🥺💜 also shoutout to @daisyvisions @snowflakewhispers for fueling me with ideas / validating my horniness oops— (but ily both so much 😘)

“Agent Y/N, are you in position?” 

“Yes, sir. I am waiting for the right moment to jump into the enemy’s territory.” 

With one click on the earpiece, you immediately turned off the buzzing sound from the headquarters as you needed to focus and ensure that you were all alone and secure as you entered the place of interest.

As you flung your backpack onto your back, you quietly peeked through the few trucks parked in the parking lot right outside the abandoned building. Given that your job was to hack into the system and you needed good internet service, conducting it outdoors would be much more ideal than inside the building itself. 

You and your team received a transmission hours ago about how this group of individuals has been conducting illegal business, such as stealing information from multiple laboratories—specifically ones located on the outskirts of Seoul to avoid detection and arrest. According to your team’s analysts, they have also discovered how they had been stealing chemical solutions that were pretty much hazardous to the public, and god knows whatever they will be using them for.

In other words, they are a pretty suspicious gang, and someone has to look into their spree of crimes before things get out of control. Being one of the best hackers on the team, you were sent to the actual location to hack into their system as best as you could. 

So here you were, in the depths of the night, staking out the parking lot alone, hoping that all goes well and that you can quickly do the job and get out of there as soon as possible. Frankly, it all felt super eerie, especially when it was this late at night, and there weren’t many street lamps to provide enough light to make you feel safe by yourself. 

After looking thoroughly and confirming with your eyes that you were alone, you slowly moved towards the multiple trucks parked in the middle of the parking lot. You managed to squeeze yourself through them and get to a well-lit area; that was when you finally took your laptop out of your backpack and started hacking away. 

To the best of your abilities, you were able to sneak into the laboratory’s system fairly quickly, and you ran over their live security camera footage to check if the criminals were within the building. Immediately, the security camera footage popped up on the screen, and you could quickly identify several men scattered throughout the different labs within the facility. 

“They were probably looking for the right chemical, " you thought, as they were all split up and divided into three groups in each laboratory. While they were trying to find the liquid, you had to quickly hack into the database to retrieve all of the information regarding the facility and the chemicals produced over the years and quickly send them back to your headquarters for analysis. 

After about 10 minutes of transferring all of the files, it was time for you to get out of there and return to let the other agents that were on their way to take over and confront the criminals themselves. You weren’t a field agent, so you couldn’t do much physical combat against the criminals themselves. As much as you wanted to, you weren’t ready for your title as an agent to be stripped off you anytime soon; hence respecting the laws and just doing as you were told would be the wisest decision for now.  

You quickly phoned the headquarters, letting them know you had retrieved all the necessary documents and would finally return to report. As you were permitted to do so, you got up and were going to keep all of your belongings back in your backpack until one of the security cameras began flashing. 

You quickly got back down again, trying to see what was happening. That was when you remembered a crucial detail. 

According to the information you guys have had so far, you knew that the group of criminals consisted of 11 members, so you decided to do a headcount one by one on the screen, starting from 1 to 11.

“8…9…and 10.”

10? 

Someone was missing, but who?

Just then, a deep husky voice broke you off from your attention on the screen, and you looked around to see where it was coming from. Finally, you landed your eyes towards one of the vehicles right across you, and there he was—one of the criminals sitting right on top of the truck with both his legs spread wide apart, looking down towards you. 

“Aren’t you pretty good at your job, sweetheart?” 

Oh no. You were busted. 

“U-umm…sorry…it’s just that…I was supposed to write a report regarding this facility, so I am here to look around.”

“At this hour? Close to midnight? I highly doubt that, princess.” 

Immediately, he hopped down from the vehicle in one swift movement and began approaching you slowly. You instinctively shut your laptop, hugged it close to your chest, and backed away. 

“I-I’m sorry! It seems I came at the wrong time! I will take my leave now, then. I’m sorry to have disrupted you!” You bowed down profusely before turning your heel and tried to run as quickly as you could until he grabbed your wrist and pulled it upwards, turning back in his direction. 

There was this smug yet dangerous look on his face, contradicting the pure and innocent look he had on before. That sent a chill up your spine, and you quickly gulped before he slowly pushed you till your back finally hit against one of the trucks. You closed your eyes upon the impact and elicited a quiet yelp with his movement. 

Suddenly, you felt his fingers lift your chin, and he commanded you to open your eyes to look straight at him. 

“Now sweetheart, we weren’t done having our little fun conversation yet, were we? It breaks my heart that you decided to take off running before we even started.” 

You were panicking as his grip slightly tightened around your wrist, pushing it back against the truck, signalling that you would be dead meat if you tried something funny again next time. You were stuck, and there was no way you could ring the headquarters as that would blow up your cover and the location of the base of operations. 

The only thing you could do was to pray that the field agents would make their way over to you soon until you heard a mild static and a voice calling through the earpiece.

“T-there isn’t much ser-service here, b-but we will be sli-slightly late d-due to the he-heavy traffic. H-hang in t-there, a-agent Y/N! W-we’ll surely be c-coming—” 

And then it all went silent. 

Your only hope was lost, as the enemy threatened and pinned you with little to no help coming your way anytime soon. You could use your physical combat skills to fight against the man before you, but something in your gut told you that it would be a horrible idea to try anything funny with him right now. 

With that, you could only take a deep breath and try to talk things out with him for a bit, stalling some time before help eventually arrived. 

“W-what…what do you want from me?” You questioned, or more like stammered. It was clear that you were trembling in your voice. 

The man chuckles slightly as he smiles back at you. “See, sweetheart. I’m afraid I can’t let you off that easily, knowing that you were spying on us and retrieving crucial evidence and information that would hinder our mission.”

This time, his fingers on your chin slowly travelled down to your neck and chest. It was the way he took his time gently sliding his finger down and touching your bare skin that made you let out a gasp. 

“I’d like to play a little game with you, princess.”

“W-what do you…” You were beginning to lose your mind as he brushed his fingers across your lips, smudging the lipstick that you’d put on prior. 

“I’d like to see how much you can handle, and trust me, we will have so much fun. I’ll make sure that you won’t be heading back to your headquarters anytime soon.”

Within seconds after that last sentence, he crashed his lips with yours and began savouring them as a tingling sensation ran through your body. He quickly deepened the kiss, his lips moving against yours with urgency. 

It was wrong. This was all so wrong.

You knew how bad this situation was because he was your enemy. But then, something about his lips made you crave more. His kisses tasted like honey, and the way he moved his lips against yours drove you insane. 

Without you knowing, your grip against the laptop slowly loosened, and eventually, he took it away from you and gently placed it on the ground, his hands quickly moving back up to your cargo pants, rubbing the spot in between your thighs, earning a gasp from you. 

He smiled as you gave him the reaction that he wanted, and he began to untie your pants before pulling them down, his fingers now brushing over your sensitive spot through the lace underwear that you were wearing. Slowly, he began to feel that you were starting to get wet, and that was his cue to hook his finger under the seam of your underwear before pulling them down, revealing your now wet clit all exposed. 

You hissed as the cold air from the atmosphere came in contact with your clit, and it took the enemy a moment to reconnect his fingers to your wet sensitive spot, rubbing it again before slowly inserting two fingers into you. 

“Aah…aaah…”

“I’ll be a dear and tell you my name, princess. Call me Sangyeon, moan for me,” he leaned towards you and whispered. 

“S-sangyeon….”

“That’s it, baby. You’re doing so good for me. I shall grant you your next reward now, hmm?” 

As he removed his fingers from your clit, he quickly moved them to his pants, unzipped and shoved them down rather hastily. It was the way you immediately noticed the erection through his boxers, and your eyes widened from just that alone. Sangyeon smirked at your reaction and reconnected his lips to yours to give you a few pecks. 

“Look at you already can’t stop staring at my big cock. Oh, baby. I’ll make sure that you won’t regret playing with it.” 

Immediately, he grabbed your free hand and guided you to touch his erection. You gasped from that alone while Sangyeon let out a soft groan. You couldn’t help but naturally start rubbing his tip, which made Sangyeon moan for you. 

“Touch me, baby.” He commanded. 

Guiding your hands again, he allowed you to pull his boxers down, and your mouth watered at the sight of his massive bulge. You wrapped your hands around his cock before you began gliding your hands up and down his member. In return, he inserted his fingers back into your clit once again, and the both of you were now a moaning mess.

“S-sangyeon…kiss me…please…” you whined, wanting to taste his sweet honey-like lips once again. 

“Oh, honey. You love the way my tongue twirls around yours?”

“Y-yes…very much…aaahh—” 

Just like that, he was now back to kissing you breathless. As his tongue slid into your mouth, he began sucking your tongue, and you shut your eyes tightly from the sensation. It made you forget entirely about how you were supposed to escape this guy as soon as possible, trying to find a potential hideout place to wait for your fellow agents. 

It seemed as if Sangyeon had wrapped you around his fingertips, just as he had planned to, and he would make sure that you wouldn’t be leaving this place anytime soon. He would proceed to the next step of his plan anytime now. 

He gently removed your hands away from his bulge as he took it himself to align the tip towards your entrance, and you knew that you were in big trouble. Now, you tried to move forward when his hand, still grabbing your wrist, tightened again and pushed it back towards the truck again. 

“Oh no, princess. We’re just getting started. Stay here with me, and I’ll give you the best fucking sex you’ll ever have.” 

As soon as those words slipped out of his mouth, he immediately slid himself into you, and you all but screamed, a teardrop falling from the corners of your eyes. Sangyeon didn’t even give you enough time to adjust to his huge size fully and eventually began slamming into you hard. 

“Fuck—fuck.” It was all that you could’ve said because you had already lost your mind ever since he kissed you for the first time. Now that he was within you? Oh, you were far, long gone from reality. 

Given the way he was fucking you so hard, even the truck that you were leaning against began rocking back and forth following your pace. 

Your eyes watered as he hit every single spot within you, causing you to cry out loud. If you were to be honest, it actually did hurt, especially which such a large and hard dick like his. But the pleasure far exceeded the pain, and you cried out for more. 

“Sangyeon…sangyeon…”

“Tell me what exactly you want, baby.”

“Keep it going…please…”

“Just like that? Are you sure that is enough?”

“I…want you to fuck me faster and harder—”

“Anything else?” He was now picking up the pace, and it was visible that his chest was rising up and down much quicker than before as he tried his best to catch his breath. 

“I…want you to fuck me till my legs feel numb, give me more and more…aaah—”

“That is what exactly I like to hear, sweetheart.” 

As he slammed into you hard, you felt a tight knot form around your stomach, signalling that you were about to reach your high and cum. Sangyeon noticed your demeanour as you buckled your hips and spread your legs wider for him to gain more access to you. 

“I’m cumming! I’m cumming!” You screamed.

“Do it, baby. Cum all over my cock, I want you to be dripping wet just for me.” He growled. 

With a few more pushes, you eventually released and spilled all of your juices all around his cock, so much so that it was oozing out of you, and it all splattered on the ground. 

You breathe in heavily before Sangyeon gives you a gentle kiss on the lips, reassuring you that you have done so well for him.

“That’s it, princess. What a good girl you’ve been. But unfortunately, there is more to come baby.” 

He grabbed both of your shoulders before turning you around rather aggressively, so now you were facing the truck instead. If you were to be honest, that rough act of his turned you on more than it was painful. It was a few seconds before you felt his grip return to you on both sides of your hips, as you felt his cock rubbing up and down once again on your dripping wet clit.

Sangyeon leaned forward to whisper in your ear, sending you a chill down your spine. “Give me some more, baby. You know you can do it.”

As he pushed his cock back into you, an immense moan spilt out from your mouth as he began pounding into you again. You had already had sex and felt his member all around you just a minute prior, yet you were still struggling to adjust to his bulge. 

“God, sweetheart. I’ve already fucked you hard, and yet you’re still so tight. I guess I wasn’t rough enough.” 

As he pounds into you, your hands that were pressed against the truck begin pushing the vehicle once again. If only there were someone around, you swear to god that the car's movement would be more than enough to prove that something wasn’t right and that there were people everywhere in the empty parking lot. 

But your comrades are still nowhere to be seen, and you were still bounded by the criminal himself, fucking you till you were sore to the point that you would not be able to walk on your own after this. 

“S-sangyeon…I-I wanna cum again for you so badly…” You whimpered. 

This time, he moved one of his hands up to grab a chunk of your hair and pulled it back; that firm sudden grip caused you to scream once again for him.

“Do it then. Cum with me this time.” He commanded, pulling your hair and pounding into you even harder. 

“Fuck—fuck—fuck—Sangyeon!! I’m cumming!!” 

With one final hard thrust, both of you released your liquids before slowing down the momentum and catching your breaths together. He removed his grip from your hair before he grabbed your chin and turned your head back for him to kiss you again. You snaked your hands up to his neck to return the favour. 

Just then, you heard sirens coming from afar, and you heard static in your earpiece again. 

“Agent Y/N, please respond! We’re finally here to infiltrate the facility; please head out, return to the back of our vehicle, and stay put!” 

It was your cue to leave now, and there was no more extended point in you staying here. 

You gulped before you pulled away from Sangyeon, mustering up the courage to reject him for good this time. 

“S-sangyeon…I have to go…I can’t stay here any more.” You stammered, hoping that he would finally let you leave this time, especially since he had already gotten what he wanted. 

But you should’ve known better because his familiar dark and dangerous look was plastered on his face again, and he pushed you back against the truck. 

“You know, now that your comrades are here, I’m afraid there’s more reason for me not to let you leave now, hmm? I’ve been stalling time for my boys to get what they want in the facility before your agents arrive to ruin our plan. While they were doing that, I was out here guarding the area, making sure nobody was to sabotage our plan.” 

So that was why he played this little dirty game with you.

“Knowing my boys, I’m pretty sure that they have gotten everything we need, and all they have to do is defeat your fellow agents, and then we will leave. And while they are doing that, you will keep me company until they’re done.” He threatened. 

This time, he grabbed your wrist and dragged you towards the front of the car, directly where you could see clearly how your fellow agents were confronting the criminals. Within seconds, a fight has broken out between them across the facility, and you have no choice but to stay here helplessly and be unable to provide them with any aid. 

Before you could say anything, Sangyeon yanked you down towards the hood of the car so that you were lying on top of it, and he prepared to go for a third round with you.

“I want you to watch closely with how you and your fellow agents are going to fail this mission terribly while I fuck you real good till you’re begging for more.”

Unraveling the Wonders of the Neuron and Brain (Part 1)

Hey there, Tumblr fam! Today, let's dive deep into the intricate world of neurons and the brain. 🧠✨

Anatomy of a Neuron

Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting information throughout your body. They have a unique structure, consisting of three main parts:

Cell Body (Soma): This is like the neuron's control center. It contains the nucleus, which houses the cell's DNA and controls its activities.

Dendrites: These branch-like extensions protruding from the cell body are the neuron's antennae. They receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors, transmitting these signals to the cell body.

Axon: Think of the axon as the neuron's transmission line. It's a long, slender, cable-like structure that carries signals away from the cell body, toward other neurons or target cells.

At the end of the axon, you'll find axon terminals, where neurotransmitters are released to communicate with the next neuron or target cell.

Physiology of a Neuron

Neurons are all about transmitting information through electrical impulses and chemical signals. Here's a quick rundown:

Resting Membrane Potential: Neurons have a resting state where the inside is negatively charged compared to the outside due to the uneven distribution of ions (like sodium and potassium) across the cell membrane. This creates a potential difference called the resting membrane potential.

Action Potential: When a neuron receives a strong enough signal (usually from dendrites), it can generate an action potential—a rapid change in membrane potential. This electrical signal travels down the axon like a wave.

Synaptic Transmission: When the action potential reaches the axon terminals, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the tiny gap between neurons. These chemicals bind to receptors on the next neuron, initiating a new electrical signal.

The Marvelous Brain

Now, let's shift our focus to the brain—the command center of your entire nervous system. 🌟

Your brain consists of various regions, each with specific functions. Here are a few key areas:

Cerebrum: This is the largest part and is divided into two hemispheres, each responsible for various cognitive functions like thinking, memory, and sensory perception.

Cerebellum: Located at the back of your brain, it plays a crucial role in balance, coordination, and fine motor skills.

Brainstem: Situated at the base of the brain, it controls basic life-sustaining functions like breathing and heart rate.

Hippocampus: Essential for memory formation and storage.

Amygdala: Involved in processing emotions and emotional memories.

And there's so much more to explore!

What is the origin of how Janus got his cat? (Did they have to go through a bonding arc like Hiccup and Toothless from how to train your dragon?)

it was time for the ✨Cat distribution system✨

Tiramisu was discovered by Coriolanus as a kitten at the end of a date night with Lucy Gray. Despite his attempts to shoo away the lively creature Like a true gentleman, Lucy Gray intervened and picked it up. Holding it with the pure bliss of excitement and awe.

Upon finding the stray kitten, she made the decision to bring it home despite her husband's objections. She believed the kitten would make a wonderful companion for six-year-old Janus. However, Coriolanus remained unconvinced and prohibited Lucy Gray from allowing the stray near their son until it had been examined by a veterinarian, fearing the risk of illness or disease transmission.

On the 4th of July, a few weeks after Janus received Tiramisu as the best birthday gift in his opinion thanking his parents excitedly.

There was a bonding arc but it wasn't Janus and Tiramisu XD Lucy Gray had to make sure that Tiramisu and Coriolanus went along.

______

Little fact, Tiramisu slept for a while in Coriolanus and Lucy Gray's bedroom with Janus in between them. Wherever little Sejanus went the cat followed. Coriolanus wasn't having it-

#tbosas #snowbaird #lucy gray baird #coriolanus snow #coriolanus: Lucy Gray NO- #Lucy gray: Lucy Gray YES! #Xanthos was still boring and sleeping way to much for Janus liking #Tiramisu was a feisty one #but only with Coriolanus #alternate universe #CapitolAU #the hunger games #hunger games #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes

THE 5:5 ENERGY PORTAL ✨ MAY 5, 2024 Dear friends, on Sunday May 5 we will be passing through a special energetic resonance: the 5:5 gateway. With all the intense current solar winds still moving around us, the energy of this portal may actually feel more intense to some of you, specially if are energy sensitive.

The vibrations of this particular 5:5 portal resonate with all the attributes of number/s 5 and 55. Similarly to the single number 5, 55 brings with it an energy of independence, and a need to freely explore new areas of our human multidimensional experience. We have five physical senses—sight, smell, hearing, touch, and taste— to experience the physical world. We also have five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. Number 5 also connects us with the five universal elements that support our human existence on Earth: air, fire, earth, water, and space/ether/spirit. Along similar lines, number 5 is connected with the five “Platonic solids”, known to be the basic energetic templates supporting physicality on Earth.

When our awareness and consciousness focuses on the vibratory essence of the 5:5 energy portal, this connection gives us an energetic momentum for our exploratory journey ahead. The frequencies of 55 are outward looking, forward looking, triggering our desires and anticipation of new experiences and new learning. This type of energy feels adventurous, self-sufficient, and ready for step out of the comfort zone.

The number 55 renders the foundation number 1 (5+5=10=1). Therefore, the 5:5 portal energy contains both, a dose of 1 energy as in independence, initiative, and self-sufficiency, plus a dose of 5 energy leading to the expression of a self-perceived sense of freedom, versatility, and sensuality. Imagine being truly self-sufficient and independent with the freedom to do and explore and experience anything and everything you are curious about. This is what the 5:5 portal is showering us with: the infinite possibilities of outer and inner exploration and discovery.

However, if there are any limiting barriers preventing you from reaching your desired level of freedom and forward movement, the 5:5 lightcodes will be showing you exactly what these issues or situations are. You may be faced with a few conscious or unconscious uncomfortable truths at this time. Are there any situations stopping you from moving forward with your desired path? Are these limitations external or are they being self-generated? Am I engaging in a few self-sabotaging behaviors? Are there any fears that prevent me from leaving my own cocoon and expand myself? The evolutionary journey never stops, and cosmic evolution is both a teaching and a learning process. And these 5:5 energy codes are here to show you exactly this.

You may want to work with the “Releasing Emotional Fears” activation found in level II of the 3D to 5D Library as we absorb the 5:5 lightcodes this weekend. This activation will begin untangling the energetic pathways that keep sustaining our fears and preventing us from evolving into our full human potential. Please keep a journal next to you to write down any insights during this transmission:

As I mentioned earlier, solar activity will stay at moderate levels throughout this weekend so please listen to your body and give it the rest it needs. We are still processing a lot of solar information we have received on the last few days with the X flare. Some mild headaches, fatigue, ear ringing, chest pressure, and lack of concentration, may be felt as our energy fields continue recalibrating. We are healing and clearing old memories, be loving to your Self at this time.

The 5:5 portal energies will be also working on our energy fields for a few days afterwards. Do pay attention to any dreams or insights you may receive as they will be signs guiding you to a more expansive and freer way of being. Set your intentions, allow yourself to be flexible, and release old structures that are preventing you from moving forward in your cosmic journey of exploration. The time for change and new discoveries is here. Have a great weekend! Much love!

WE ARE ONE ♡ Diego E. Berman 2024 Ⓒ www.diegoberman.com

Trick or Treat with Johnny Joestar, please?💕

"I hate horror movies, can't we watch something else?" from Spooky / Autumn Prompts

“I hate horror movies, can we watch something else?” Johnny said this with a sigh as he tried to reach for the remote to be able to put another movie on.

You couldn’t tell if Johnny hated them because he just thought they were boring or if he actually found them to be scary. You’d try your best to get an answer out of him.

“But horror movies are the most appropriate for Halloween season.” You turned to the side to keep the remote out of his reach. 

“I know, but they’re all kinda the same.” Johnny was still reaching for the remote.

“If we don’t watch a horror movie, then what do we watch? I mean, sure some horror movies might be cheesy but they’re still fun to watch.”

“Can’t we watch a regular movie? Or at least something more like… a thriller, maybe? I guess if you find them fun to watch though I guess I can bite my tongue for the next hour and a half.” Johnny stopped trying to reach for the remote. He figured he’d just let you do your thing. Even if he didn’t care much for horror movies, the most important thing is that you two were spending time with each other.

“I mean, a thriller can count too. I think that’s a fair compromise… We’ll do something more thriller and not really horror. It still fits spooky season.” You changed the category from ‘horror’ to ‘thriller’. 

That put a smile on Johnny’s face, “You’re always so considerate…But you know what, it’s fine. Let’s watch a horror movie this time and then we can watch a thriller movie next time. I know how much you enjoy horror movies. Even if they are cheesy.”

“It’s all about compromise. I don’t mind watching a thriller one this time.” You scrolled through the ‘thriller’ options, now resting your head against his shoulder. 

Truthfully you weren’t really focusing on what movie to pick, you were more focused on how comfortable you felt leaning against him like this. You enjoyed little moments like these where the two of you stayed in and enjoyed each other’s company. 

“Are you listening?” 

“What? You said something?” You gave an embarrassed smile as you sat up. You were so focused on how you felt resting up against him and his scent that you hadn’t heard what he said.

“I said… What about this one?” Johnny asked as he pointed to the screen.

“Oh, sure. Yeah. That’s fine.” You said and rested your head against his shoulder once more. Truthfully you didn’t care what the two of you watched as long as you remained cuddled up like this.

"I'm not doing matching costumes" from Spooky / Autumn Prompts

Risotto raised a brow as he watched you hold up the matching costumes you had picked out for the two of you.

“I’m not doing matching costumes.” He said with a grumble. Sure, he was fine with the holiday but he always thought matching costumes were kind of lame.

“Aw, not even for me?” You asked with a small pout. You figured he might have this sort of reaction, but you still wanted to try your luck.

You knew trying to convince Risotto to doing most things with you was like pulling teeth. He was reluctant about wanting to do most things, but in the end he usually ended up agreeing to these things on his own. You always were patient with him when it came to these things, but you’ve really been wanting to do matching costumes with him so it was difficult for you to back down on this one.

“You know I don’t like doing stuff like that.” Risotto said with a sigh, he did his best to avoid making eye contact with you. Your pout was so cute and you probably already knew that a cute pout like that would get to him.

“I know, but…I just thought it could be cute. Maybe.” You set the costumes aside. You didn’t want to push the issue further if Risotto really didn’t want to do matching costumes. You took a moment setting your disappointment aside, “It’s ok if you don’t want to.” 

Risotto sighed to himself… He knew he was going to give into you. He was just being a bit stubborn about it. It shouldn’t be such a big deal - couples did matching costumes all the time, and now that you two were a couple this was part of ‘boyfriend duty’. 

“….Alright. Fine.” Risotto admitted defeat, but he didn’t sound too thrilled about it.

“Wait, really? I mean, only if you really want to… I don’t want you to be mad at me.” You were still worried he was annoyed about this.

Risotto shook his head, “Nah. It’s OK. It’s what couples do for Halloween… I’ve never really had anyone to match costumes with me before, so this is just really new to me.” 

“There’s a first time for everything.” You said with a small smile.

“Yeah, I guess so. I guess it’s not so bad if the first time doing this is with you.” Risotto said with a small shrug.

You couldn’t help but smile more at this - you knew that Risotto could be a bit stubborn sometimes, but it was always nice when he gave in and showed his softer side to you. 

“I appreciate that. It means a lot to me.” You said now going over to give him a kiss. 

“You’re lucky I love you.” Risotto said teasingly as he kissed you back.
