#sitting on a fountain k-i-s-s-i-n-g

[hellyeahomeland]

Building off the anon ask about Carrie having sex, do you think she and Yevgeny will have sex now or will we see it in flashbacks? I’m so curious about their relationship cause he seemed really close to and protective of Simone last season even though he was gonna kill her during the season finale. I like the idea of comparing this relationship to her relationship with Brody and his with Simone. Is it possible he allows himself to get so close to his marks or do you think this is all his game?

I think we’re going to see them hook up in the present. Their relationship in flashbacks (so far) does not come across as sexual at all. 

Their relationship in the present... is everything I never knew I wanted.

Camerlengo Patrick McKenna Fluff ABCs | Camerlengo x Female Reader

Il camerlengo deserves more love ❤

Notes: These take place in an AU where the Cardinal Strauss and Commander Richter are guilty of the attacks on the Vatican. 2K words.

A = Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

There are so many things about you Patrick adores: your beautiful, soft smile; the curiosity and warmth your eyes convey; the feminine lilt of your voice. But most of all, he loves you for your heart. The kindness you show towards others makes you an angel in his eyes.

B = Baby (Do they want a family? Why or why not?)

Despite his vocation to the priesthood, Patrick would love nothing more than to start a family with you. He views the love you share as a gift from God, not something that should be disgraced or vilified. The arbitrary man-made rules of the Church which prevent him from realizing this longing—your own little family—frustrate him to no end.

C = Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

With the utmost care and gentleness. He holds you against him, reverently stroking your hair, face, and body with his warm fingers. He especially loves to admire the suppleness of you, softly kissing each and every glorious inch he can reach. While these moments are few, they are precious to him.  

D = Dates (What are dates with them like?)

Because your relationship with Patrick is technically “forbidden,” you can’t go on dates in the normal sense. When he can, Patrick will use the secret passage between the Vatican and Castel Sant’ Angelo to discretely travel to the outside world in order to visit you. Because you really can’t be seen alone with him, you instead spend time with Patrick in your apartment, often cooking dinner, talking, and just enjoying each other’s company. Even if you can’t confess your love to the world yet, all he desires is to spend every moment he can with you.

E = Everything [“You are my ____________.” (e.g. my life, my world)]

“You are my heart.”

“You are my treasure.”

“You are my life’s greatest blessing. You are a gift from God.”

F = Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

When he imagined his life without you. The pain he felt even entertaining the notion was too much for him to bear. He knew he needed to tell you before it was too late.

G = Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

This is one of the main reasons you fell in love with Patrick—he is truly the gentlest soul you have ever met. He treats you as if you were a priceless relic, practically worshipping the ground you walk on and swearing to defend you from any harm. Not that he won’t stand up for what he believes—he is a fierce defender of his faith and possesses the ability to inspire millions with his commanding oratory. But the look of love in his eyes when you catch him watching you makes your heart flutter rapidly in your chest like a schoolgirl’s.

H = Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

Secretly and with all the affection he can possibly give. He especially loves to brush his thumb across the back of your hand, squeeze them lightly, or bring them to his lips when they are intertwined. When you are alone together, he always wants to maintain this type of intimate contact.  

I = Impression (What was their first impression?)

When you first met Patrick, the always-charming young priest was left speechless. Not only was he enamored of your beauty, he was mesmerized by your intellect and eloquence. At first, he chided himself for such foolish and boy-like thoughts—he was a priest, after all! But after slowly getting to know you, he realized how much you embodied perfection to him: your poise, the uncommon kindness you showed to all those you met, your deep devotion to your Catholic faith. And you couldn’t help but feel the same strong attraction to him.

J = Jealousy (Do they get jealous much?)

Patrick is not the jealous type—he would never have any reason to be. Your love is built on trust and truthfulness, and he alone holds the key to your heart.

K = Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

You were the first to kiss Patrick. You had gone to him for guidance after suffering a deeply personal anguish. His words were so gentle and reassuring, you couldn’t help but softly kiss his cheek in gratitude as tears slipped silently from your eyes. You were too numb to even feel ashamed, let alone prepare for Patrick’s response: taking your hand and kissing it lovingly, a gesture meant to assure you your feelings were reciprocated.

Because of Patrick’s profession and his constant presence in the public eye, you can’t be together as often as you’d like. But when you are, you nearly die and go to heaven from his mouth’s attentions alone. Patrick’s kisses are gentle, reverent, and full of love. He is never aggressive or rough; instead, he worships you with his lips, laying them everywhere like a starving man put before a feast.

L = Love (Who says I love you first?)

Patrick did. He was running to the helicopter to dispose of the antimatter chamber, willing to sacrifice his life for the safety of the faithful gathered in the Square and his beloved St. Peter’s. As he prepared to take off, he saw you standing on the steps at the entrance to the basilica, tears in your eyes. He silently mouthed to you, “I love you. Pray for me.” You were distraught but could do nothing but nod as tears clouded your vision and watch as he ascended from the plaza into the night sky.    

M = Memory (What’s their favorite memory together?)

One night you begged Patrick to go for a walk around the city together, like a normal couple would. You couldn’t brush away the romantic childhood notions of strolling through Rome with your beloved. He finally acquiesced to your pleas (your doe eyes and breathy implorations being of great assistance to you) and the two of you slipped quietly out into the dusky night. You frolicked at the Trevi Fountain, gazed at the enormity of the Pantheon, and shared a sweet treat from the gelateria while nestled on a bridge overlooking the Tiber River. Although the ancient city was beautiful, the sight beside him was what truly took his breath away.

N = Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Priests are sworn to a life of poverty, so Patrick does not shower you with expensive presents (nor can he afford to). But none of that matters to you because all you care about is Patrick and your love for him. Of his few earthly possessions, Patrick gifted you his late mother’s golden crucifix necklace inlaid with emerald, despite your attempts to dissuade him. He gave you the look of utmost adoration and smiled. “Angelo mio, you are the only one worthy of wearing it.” You wear the necklace every day as a secret declaration of your love for Patrick.  

O = Orange (What color reminds them of their other half?)

There are two: light pink (it is your favorite color and the color of your favorite flower, the gardenia) and white. White symbolizes purity and peace, as it is the color of the angels, and to Patrick, you are his angel on Earth.  

P = Pet Names (What pet names do they use?)

Angelo mio (“my angel”); cuore mio (“my heart”); mi amore (my love); “beloved”; “dearest”; “my treasure” ; “sweetheart.”

Q = Quaint (What is their favorite non-modern thing?)

His rosary, made of olive wood grown on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. It was a gift from His Holiness.

R = Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Ideally, he would spend the day curled up together on the sofa with you, reading, talking, or just basking in the other’s presence. Two mugs of tea and a plate of delectable pastries you had baked for him would sit on the table but would remain uneaten because of the sustenance you provide to each other. When he cannot be with you, he enjoys spending time in his study, doing research, reading Scripture, or writing his weekly homily.  

S = Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

Prayer—he always turns to God and the Saints for guidance.

Naturally, being by your side and in close physical contact immediately quells even his deepest fears. He relishes listening to your soft, sweet voice, lulling him into a sense of profound comfort and eventually, sleep.

T = Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Patrick is an intellectual at heart and loved the time he spent in seminary. He is incredibly well-versed in a variety of topics, including literature, history, science, music, art, philosophy, and theology. You could listen to him for hours and never lose interest.

U = Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

You. Patrick can be himself around you, let his guard down. He knows that he can tell you anything. Sometimes when he has a lot on his mind (responsibilities, the welfare of his Church, your future together), he simply gazes at you lovingly and observes the subtle movements you make when you’re engrossed in a task like cooking, reading, or playing the piano.

When he’s anxious and you are not around, prayer provides him a deep sense of comfort. He also relishes in your sweet scent—a small vial of your perfume you gifted him.  

V = Vaunt (How do they like to show off? What are they proud of?)

Vanity is a sin! 😉

But in secret, he loves showing off his Latin skills to you! You find it incredibly sensual when he speaks to you in that ancient tongue.

W = Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

On a dreamy spring night, Patrick led you up to a secret balcony near the base of St. Peter’s massive  dome—a hidden observatory shown to him by His Holiness when he was a young boy. The view is breathtaking; you can see the whole city bathed in golden light, the inky blue darkness above cut by the silver caresses of the moon. You turn to Patrick in complete awe and could hardly articulate how beautiful the view was. He pulls you close to him and whispers that he would be happy if he could never see this view again if it meant he could spend the rest of his life with you. You turned to him, overwhelmed with love, your breath hitching at the significance of his words. He then knelt down before you, taking your hands in his.

“Y/F/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, of all the blessings God has bestowed upon me, none is more precious than you. From the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew that we were meant to be together, in this place and time.” His eyes were sincere and insistent, his tone earnest as he held your hands tighter and continued: “My mind told me that we could not be together, that my vows of celibacy and chastity forbid this. But my heart tells me that if a love so pure as ours exists, is it not a gift from God, meant to be treasured? And though I may not deserve to understand, all I wish to know and feel is my love for you.” His eyes shone softly with tears.  

“Y/N, my love, will you make me the happiest man on Earth and spend the rest of your life with me? Will you be my wife?”

X = Xylophone (What’s their song?)

Patrick loves the ancient hymns from the early days of the Church, their melodies hauntingly beautiful yet powerful. “Ave Maria” also has a special place in his heart after he heard you singing it softly to yourself one evening while preparing dinner.

Y = Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Every day! Patrick is so torn between the duties of his priesthood and his intense longing to spend the rest of his life as your husband. He prays to God often about this personal conflict, but finally decides to propose to you before Him alone, indifferent to anyone else’s judgement.

Z = Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Because Patrick is so easygoing and affectionate, he would do really well with dogs.

[ultimate-cinephile]

Can I PLEASE request some Viktor Licht fluff!! I'm completely obsessed with this little weirdo and cannot get enough 💕 I loved your kissing headcanon's btw

You 100% can! I've been wanting someone to request for a month now. Tysm Nonnie!!

And I'm glad you enjoyed them! Also, I had no idea what to do for a plot, so I decided to do this again seeing as how I had a lot of fun with Joker's.

VIKTOR LICHT FLUFF ALPHABET

A- Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

He definitely admires that you don't judge him for anything. You completely understand that he's devoted to his mission (and you of course, but you didn't hear that from me) and you understand why he does what he does, and he absolutely adores it.

B- Baby (Do they want a family? Why or why not?)

In truth, I don't think he thinks about having a family much. He most definitely wouldn't mind having one in the long run (especially with you), but you'd have to be the one to bring it up.

C- Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

Viktor loves spooning. By the time he goes to bed, you're usually asleep, so he crashes into bed next to you and pulls your back to his chest and he just sort of curling you because he's that tall. It's quite comfortable for the both of you.

D- Dates (What are dates with them like?)

It takes Viktor awhile to get used to the idea of dates. His idea of a date was just two people spending time together. So for awhile, you two just sat in his office while he worked. Then he did some research (watched some romance movies with maki and iris; he r e a l l y liked The Proposal) and decided to take you out on a proper date.

This being said, dates with Viktor are usually a spur of the moment thing and happen when you both have time, but they almost always open you up to a new experience and they're always fun. Sometimes you do something crazy like going to a casino for no reason and sometimes you do something peaceful like just walking around the city and sight-seeing and window shopping and all that cool jazz.

E- Everything (You are my ___; e.g. my life, my world)

"You are my reason for everything. You remind me everyday why I do what I do. Thank you."

F- Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

It was just after Company 8 finished an Infernal. You had slipped away from the rest of the group and Viktor, being the curious boi he is, went after you. He found you comforting a crying child.

It turns out that the kid's parent had been the one to turn Infernal, and you refused to leave their side until they we laughing and smiling again.

Something about that made his heart melt.

He had no idea what was going on and later googled his symptoms (after consulting any sort of reliable medical book/website he could find) and nearly had a heart attack when he found out what it was.

G- Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how so?)

Viktor isn't really a rough man. It's just his nature (I want to make fun of him for being a pacifist, but I can't because I'm one D:<).

Anyways, he isn't overly gentle with you either. He knows that you're more than capable of handling certain things by yourself and he's happy to let you do those things, but if he sees you struggling, he won't hesitate to help you out.

H- Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

He's very fond of linking pinkies. He's not a fan of PDA, but that doesn't make him uncomfortable and he likes holding you in some way. Though if he gets jealous, he wraps an arm around your waist (more on that later though).

I- Impression (What was their first impression?)

Well, since you are a part of the Fire Force (sorry to just assign you a role like this) he naturally thought you were a bit reckless, running into fires like that, but he can't really judge since he kinda did the same thing.

J- Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Oh, he does. He's much better at hiding it than Joker. Licht is very rarely intimidating, and the man cannot glare to save his life. A telltale sign that he's jealous is that he gets more affectionate in front of others. He'll wrap his arm around your waist and pull your back into his chest while resting his chin on the top of your head.

K- Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

Even though they're an expression of friendship, he adores eskimo kisses (when he can bend down to your height) or he likes gently kissing the top of your forehead.

Even though kisses with Licht are usually short-lived, they always communicate how much you mean to him and the words that he so often can't find to say himself.

You 100% had to initiate the first kiss. He was staying up late to work on something and you had to go to sleep or else you'd pass out on the floor so in your tired stupor you gave him a quick good-night peck to the lips.

He did not get any work done the rest of the night.

L- Love (Who says ‘I love you’ first?)

Surprisingly??? Viktor.

Just before he goes to the Haijima lab with Shinra (i'm waiting on the dub, but i sWEAR IF THEY KILL HIM-), you run up to him and kiss him.

"I swear to Sol, Licht, if you die there, I'm gonna kill you. I love you too much to loose you."

Shinra probably had to slap him cause Viktor.exe had crashed.

M- Memory (What’s their favorite memory together?)

You and him were watching the Sound of Music, and you, being a dork, pulled him to his feet and started dancing around the room with him. Both of you fell back on your bed, laughing like a couple of idiots.

N- Nickel (Do they spoil? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Sometimes. He buys you stuff a lot, and sometimes if he's out in town and he sees something he knows that you'd like, he'll 100% get it for you. He loves seeing you happy and he's more than willing to spare a dollar or two to see you smile.

O- Orange (What color reminds them of their other half?)

Red. The first time you two had a proper conversation, you had accidentally cut your finger while cutting up something for dinner. He offered to help you after he saw you cursing yourself and wrapping your injured finger in a bandage.

P- Pet Names (What pet names do they use?)

I feel like Viktor isn't big on pet names but he sometimes calls you 'love'.

Q- Quaint (What is their favorite non-modern thing?)

Okay so, this is gonna sound weird, but he has a genuine fountain pen that belonged to some famous writer. He's quite proud of it.

R- Rainy Day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

He loves to work on rainy days. He loves it if you sit there and watch him or if you sit in his lap. If you manage to drag him away, he'll do anything with you. Sometimes, just for the heck of it, he takes you outside and you two just walk around with an umbrella shielding you from becoming drenched.

S- Sad (How do they cheer themselves/others up?)

Viktor just stirs his problems into coffee. He has no idea how to solve his own problems, so he has no idea what he's doing if he comforts you. He usually just lets you cry and rant and scream until you feel better. He'll hold you in his lap if you want. He has no idea what to do, please help him.

T- Talking (What do they like to talk about?)

Viktor will gladly talk about his research or if you manage to get him to watch something with you, he'll geek out about that with you. It's so cute watching him freak out about the ending to Rogue One, it isn't even funny.

U- Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

A nice, hot cup of coffee or tea and you

V- Vaunt (What do they like to show off?)

His fountain pen, you, sometimes his research

W- Wedding (Where, when, and how do they propose?)

It takes him awhile to even consider marriage. Honestly? It takes him long enough that you propose!

It was on a leap day, since that's traditionally the day a woman can propose, you had a nice ring in your back pocket. You tried seven times in one day to propose, but every time you got ready to pop the question, something would come along and you had to wait a minute.

Eventually you just got fed up with going through reports so you asked Licht then. He thought you were kidding when he said yes, but then you chucked a box and his head and he'd never been more happy for a mix-up in his life.

X- Xylophone (What’s their song?)

I know it doesn't ask for a relationship song, but the only song coming to mind right now is The Reason by Hoobastank.

Y- Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

As I said before, he doesn't really think about it until after you get engaged. After that though, he admires the ring with a smile as he counts down the days until you're married.

Z- Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

Well, animals are uncommon, but once Vulcan showed him a picture of a gerbil. He has no idea what it is, but he wants one.

okay! that's it! i hope you enjoy it Nonnie!

WELCOME TO OJIRO ARAN’S GREENHOUSE !

the last thing you’d expect to find in a glass dome that’s breathing life into each other is a large, bulky man tending to a tiny little flower by the fountain in the middle of it all. he didn’t register your presence at all. in fact, someone else does.

they’re clad in a plain white shirt and plaid pants buckled by a dark brown leather belt. black locks are messily strewn all over the place, round glasses sitting atop of their nose as a white mask shields the bottom half of their face. their gaze is intense and you can’t help but feel slightly unnerved.

“hiya there.” however the second you hear their voice, it calms you down a little bit. “i’m sol, i keep things running around here while the big guy tends to the flora. how can i help you?”

“i just wanted to take a look before picking a bouquet,” you answer with a small smile.

“oh, well, say less. i’ll take you on a guided tour. but before that, i’ve gotta conduct some mandatory checks.”

C H U U Y A

When the weather got warm and the sky became a beautiful curlean blue, there was nothing you enjoyed more than to spend your days sun up and sun down outdoors. Whether you were sun bathing, whether you were taking a walk, whether you were simply just out and about running errands, you absolutely adored the sun. Above all, you loved to garden. You loved planting flowers, you loved growing life, you loved being one with the earth. Nothing fascinated you more, and nothing fascinated Chuuya more than watching you engage in your special hobby. Currently as he watched you, he couldn’t think of anything more breathtaking than the sight before him. The way the sun bounced off of your body, your skin scintillating from the magnificent rays. The way your messy hair flounced around your face, your soft lips pursed in concentration. The mud would be coating your body, your clothes, your everything but strangely enough, Chuuya would STILL find it cute. That is until you would spend more time on the garden than you were to him. “Y/N-ah. Almost done?” He would whine, approaching you in the soil where you were sitting cross legged planting a variety of wild flowers. “Not quite, patience is a virtue, love.” Your lopsided grin would bring him up short, making his heart falter then speed up all over again. “You’ve got three minutes before I make you though, consider this your warning.” Kissing you on the crown of your head, Chuuya ruffled your hair playfully before walking off. Make you stop? Hm, you’d like to see that happen. “I’d like to see you try to make me stop, Chuuya!” You called as he walked away from you. He then, however, paused at your words turning around with a devilish grin. “Oh, you will.” He winked before continuing to walk away from you ominously. ‘That was weird’ you thought before turning back to your work, innocently examining your plants. You loved how the color looked under the rays of the sun you never got over how much joy gardening brought you and-“COLD!” You interrupted your own thought process when your backside was suddenly being drenched with freezing cold water. Scrambling to your feet, you would turn sharp on your heel only to be blasted in the face by another cool jet of water, nearly falling back onto your behind. It took you a minute to realize what was happening and then you saw it: your ornery boyfriend with the gardening hose in his hand. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that one!” You snickered before running full force at him, arms held open at arms length. Charging at your boyfriend with massive speed and giggles escaping from your lips, you chased your boyfriend who sprinted with the hose still in his hand. Finally, catching up to him you would jump on his back, somehow managing to grab the hose and give him a good shoot of water up his nose.

“That burned!”

“Good!”

Chuuya toppled over, taking you down with him. The water sprayed above you like a fountain, your chests heaving up and down as you laughed wildly. It was the moments like this that made him fall more and more in love with you everyday.

“Looks like I made you stop.” Chuuya would laugh slightly out of breath, his nose skimming against your own.

“How is it you always get your way, Chuuya-San?” You would hum, the space in between you closing, your lips merging together in a wet, passionate kiss.

D A Z A I

“Are you sure we won’t get in trouble?”

“Would I ever do something to get you in trouble, Y/N?”

“Nearly everyday, Dazai.”

The agency had a boat that they took out for emergency cases. It wasn’t anything fancy, it wasn’t anything extravagant, it was strictly for business and business only but Dazai wanted to take it on a ride. Not alone, however, that wouldn’t be any fun. Of course, he wanted to take you with him. How romantic, right? Except for the fact that you really weren’t supposed to use it for pedestrian reasons. “Don’t you trust me?” He asked, his lip jutting out as he reached out his hand for you to step on the docked boat with him. “Dazai, that’s not fair. You know I trust you with my entire being.” You whined crossing your arms. “If you trust me, you’ll join me on this boat. How can you deny this offer on such a beautiful day?” Dazai held his arms out wide motioning to his surroundings. It really was a beautiful day, there was no way you could deny that even if it meant getting chewed out by Kunikida. Why must Dazai be such a bad influence on you in the workplace? Letting out a defeated sigh, you motioned your hand to your cheeky boyfriend silently asking for his help onto the rocking boat. Wordlessly reaching out for your hand, Dazai would yank you onto the boat with far too much gusto, causing you to fall into his arms. You would let out a shocked squeal as Dazai being his romantic self, would dip you so that your head was nearly touching the floor of the boat, your faces inches apart before you could even steady yourself. “I love you.” He would hum, kissing you softly on the lips before lifting you back up making your head whirl. “I’ll say it back when we return safely.” You chided, sitting right next to the drivers seat. “You worry far too much Y/N. You’re perfectly safe with me.” Turning the key with a crooked smile the boat would roar to life. Rather than easing it out of the dock carefully, however, Dazai would make you squeal by suddenly shooting out of the dock with tremendous speed. Where it would make you slightly apprehensive to be moving so fast, you would feel free and very much alive. The wind rippling through your hair, the salty smell of the ocean filling your nostrils, the feeling of just living and being free; you were so incredibly in love with the moment. In love with the moment, in love with your life, and in love with having a boyfriend that pushed you outside your comfort zones and convinced you to go on these wild adventures with him. “WOO!” You would yell out, spreading your arms out and closing your eyes. God, Dazai knew he loved you a long time ago but it was something about the way you looked right now; the happiness oozing from you, the freedom that you wore so proudly on your face. He felt equally as grateful to be here with you that you did about him. Probably even more, though Dazai had always been in love with you from the moment you met. “Dazai, I love you!” You would bellow from the deepest pits of your core, turning in your seat to grin at him. Staring at you with complete adoration, Dazai wouldn’t have to answer you for you to know that he loved you just the same: his smile said it all.

A K U T U G A W A

“Er, babe...” Aku would mutter, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. “You got some sun today.” Furrowing your eyebrows you would frantically look at your exposed arms, eyes widening in alarm as you stared at your red blotchy skin in the bathroom mirror. Yep, it was definitely a sunburn and brewing to be a painful one at that too. Of course it was, you had had an absolutely amazing day outside with Aku today, something bad was bound to happen . “Ouch.” You would say surprised, brushing your fingertips across the ablaze skin while holding the towel that was still wrapped around your body from your shower. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.” Aku would assure you sweetly, examining your skin with the touch and pressure of a moths wing. Moving his fingers to your hair, Aku would comb it up to a messy bun on the top of your head so he could examine your burning shoulders. He couldn’t help but to cringe as he stared at your fiery skin, knowing too well that you had the worst luck. Slowly leading you out of the bathroom and to your shared bed, he would leave you for a short moment, returning with a bottle of lotion, hopeful that it would help to take the sting out due to its proactive ingredients. Though he would nearly drop the bottle when he would see you laying flat on your stomach, your towel dropped to your lower back, revealing a decent portion of your nude body. Gulping he got over himself, climbing on the bed to straddle your body, knowing you needed him. “Might be cold.” He warned beginning to rub the lotion into your skin. He tried his best to be gentle with you knowing how bad a sunburn could hurt with applied pressure. He didn’t want to hurt you further afterall. “Maybe I should get sunburnt more often, your hands feel good.” you would sigh contently, making Aku blush. Although the sunburn sucked at least this was a decent way to end your beautiful day. Truthfully, you were already feeling better under his gentle touch. And to think your sweet, considerate boyfriend was feared by practically the whole city. ‘Some bad guy’ you thought to yourself as his fingers continued to massage your skin gently.

Hello, can I request a A-Z SFW alphabet (2) Lancelot of IkeRev. Thank you and congrats 😊❤️🎉

Title: Lancelot SFW Alphabet

Fandom: Ikemen Revolution

Character: Lancelot Kingsley

Genre: hc!

Warnings: none

Word Count: 1151 words

POV: second person

Other comments: oof this was long hope u like tho

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Give him love! He is not outwardly affectionate, especially in terms of PDA

However, hand holding makes him a bit more confident if he is trying something new 

Lance would otherwise show his affection with small kisses when no one is looking (or is, he’s the King, he doesn’t care) 

Thoughtful compliments - not just “you are beautiful” but more deep things like “I value your opinions” and “You being here means the world to me” 

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You’d probably be the mom friend and have to remind him to get some sleep once in a while

He’d be super loyal though: he doesn’t want to lose you as a friend after what happened in the past

Going off of the Alice game theme, it is likely the two of you would bond over pure stubbornness

ie you won’t stop pestering him about doing something one way and it ends up working… so now he thinks very highly of you and considers you a good friend (even if he won’t say it aloud)

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Occasional cuddles; he’s not a cuddle bug but he’s not against it either

Maybe he’s had a long day and the first thing he wants to do is lie against you

Pet his hair while he’s complaining about Edgar and Jonah and Lance will absolutely melt

Or, if he’s the big spoon, he squeezes you tightly for good measure

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Lance values his duty as king and likely would not revert to a country home on the side of a hill 

Cooking… is edible… 

Knows how to keep neat, but he does not consciously clean

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

It would be painful for him, please believe that 

He thinks that you will be safer and better off without him

Lancelot is not the best at saying goodbye, so he will probably avoid you at all costs… 

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Originally saw marriage as a political alliance, but really does want to get married

He’d plan the proposal and make it as magical as he possibly can

The wedding would be elaborate in decoration and detail, but smaller in terms of attendance (he wants the people important to him to attend)

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Physically? Depends, but he tends to be gentle because he’s worried of hurting you by accidentally being too rough

Emotionally? He needs some work before he’s “gentle” 

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Same with cuddling, not the biggest hugger, but appreciates an embrace from time to time

His hugs envelop you with a sense of serenity and safeness 

When you press against his chest, Lancelot feels at peace and it is a good way to reduce stress! 

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Not going off of canon, but it will take him some time

Lancelot still feels like he has to go a long way to prove himself, so don’t pressure him into saying something 

It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you, he just has to learn for himself how he defines love

When he does say it, it comes naturally and it feels natural too

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

JEALOUS BOYO

Especially if you’re talking with Jonah, Sirius, or Harr. Or anyone. 

If he’s next to you though, he feels better about it

When he gets jealous, expect him to try to leave the situation (with or without you)

To remedy this, you only need to squeeze his hand and help engage him into the conversation! 

Not that you would purposefully ignore him, but that would make him a bit jealous too

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

He can do soft kisses to heated kisses to not-appropriate-for-a-sfw-hc type kiss

Lancelot prefers to kiss your lips, but he does not mind exploring your jaw and neck

Adores temple kisses and occasionally palm kisses (makes his fingers tingle a bit)

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

A bit weary at first, but comes to kind of like playing with them

Who else is going to ask about his fourth favourite robe to wear???? 

He hasn’t considered that like ever 

But Lance is not the best person to handle kids if they get antsy or misbehave

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

If it’s a soft sleep-in-late morning, Lance will either sleep through it, with his leg over you, or he will sit up and read a bit until you wake up 

He likes it when you nuzzle against him

In which case, he will set the book down to hug you and make sure the blanket is covering you well 

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Lancelot is probably doing paperwork/organizing things for the next day, so he’ll need some coaxing to turn in for the night 

Nights might include showers/baths together, you brushing his hair gently, maybe a spa night sometimes 

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

It’s cannon that it takes Lance a bit of time to open up properly

When he does trust you, Lance will sit you down and explain that he has a long story to tell you

He doesn’t want any secrets between the two of you, and so he wants to set an example and clear the air

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Depending on the situation, he can be patient or not 

Try not to anger him, he won’t lash out on purpose but he doesn’t like being wrong in a situation

Lance is good at weighing his options and coming to his own conclusions

Furthermore, he’s used to doing things alone, so don’t force him to suddenly have patience that he’s not used to practicing 

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

REMEMBERS EVERYTHING 

Or, at least, he tries to 

he likes to remember the small things and then surprise you with it later 

for example: if you mention your fav flower, he’ll plant an area in the garden a month later 

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

it was an ordinary date, just the two of you and the full moon

you stopped at the fountain to splash him with water and he thought it was cute 

when you spun around, hair fanning out, he swore you looked like an angel for a moment 

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

HYPER PROTECTIVE 

wants to shield you from everything in the world and hopes that you never have to see the horrors of things 

specifically wants to shelter you from the past

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

A LOT OF EFFORT 

Especially if it is an anniversary date, he will plan it at least a week in advance (depending on what anni it is)

Gifts are always meaningful and unique

Dates are never repeated 

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

When he gets stressed, he picks at his hair/runs his fingers through it 

Sleeps super late and sometimes wakes up with heavy under eye bags 

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Depends, but can be medium vain? Not as much as Jonah but more than other members? 

Likes to look put together

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Absolutely

Once he’s attached to you emotionally, he’d feel like he’s lost something if you ever left 

Not clingy per say, but really likes having you at his side and would not want it any other way

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

??? is nervous when the two of you meet with Harr and SIrius after everything 

He’s… not shy, but he’s nervous because he doesn’t really want to talk too much

But he opens up a bit more and all of you get some good laughs

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Someone who is not loyal or does not follow through with their promises

As king, qualities like loyalty are really important to Lance, so if his partner betrays him, it will crush him

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

What is sleep 

When he does manage to sleep, it’s usually light sleep (wakes up easily) 

Sometimes has nightmares! Hold him please

Swerve X Reader – Changes - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

A/N – Welp, this is the best I can do after that trip to A + E. It’s great being off work to write this.

Warnings – Mild Swearing.

Rating – T

Swerve grinned at his holo-form’s reflection, enjoying the winter look he’d just added. It was finally time for a visit to the next planet, Enpluam. The planet itself was said to be something of a winter wonderland, and as such, all of the crew had been ordered to adapt their holo-forms to have warm clothing so none of the natives got suspicious.

Swerve’s smile faltered as he caught sight of you behind him, failing to hide your frown. He spun around, suddenly insecure about his new outfit. “You don’t like it?”

You held up your hands defensively, “No, no, I love it, it’s just-” You shook your head, smiling instead, “It’s nothing.”

Swerve hugged himself self-consciously, “Please (Y/N), if you don’t like it… If you don’t like me-”

“Swerve,” You almost hissed, hurt by his suggestion. “It’s not your outfit, I love it. I love you. I just- I don’t understand why all these stupid bloody planets have to hate Cybertronians so much. I get that the war was horrible but it’s over now, it should be entirely up to you whether you want to go as a Cybertronian or not.”

Swerve reached out to caress your cheek lovingly, “(Y/N), it’s alright. We’re used to it. Besides, you know how much I like playing dress-up.”

You had to smile at the joke. Using it as an opportunity to change from your previously bitter thoughts about how Cybertronians were treated, you replied, “Yeah, well maybe you can dress up as a doctor tonight. I can think of a few places you haven’t examined on me yet.”

Swerve blushed, his vocaliser crackling with static like it always did when he was flustered. He swore to himself that one day, he would have a witty retort for your seductive comments.

You pecked his cheek, “Better not make that sound on-planet, or they’ll see right through you’re disguise.”

“Yeah,” Swerve finally managed to laugh, though he was already planning a doctor outfit in a sub-folder of his processor which he aptly named ‘Dr Sexy cosplay.’ “You looking forward to this planet?”

“I will be if you tell me what you’ve been planning.”

Swerve became rigid, “Plan- Uh planning? I- I haven’t been planning-”

You smiled knowingly, “Oh I know you’ve got something up that parka sleeve of yours Swerve. You’ve been quiet this week, so I know you’ve been hiding something. Want to tell me what it is now or save it for later? I promise I’ll act surprised if you do.”

There wouldn’t be much acting involved when Swerve told you about the mini-con shell he’d had built for you, he was sure about that. Swerve knew he had promised himself that he would tell you this week about his plans for you, but now the moment had been laid in front of him and he was too anxious to say anything. He’d planned to tell you on the icy planet below after taking you on the perfect date, which would hopefully serve as a reminder of how much he loved you so that you wouldn’t leave him after the news. He needed that extra time to tell you, and it would only be one cycle’s difference.

“Can you wait one more cycle?” He asked solemnly.

You raised your eyebrows, “Oh, a serious tone? Must be important.”

You pulled his hand towards yours, hooking your little finger around his own, “I pinkie-promise that I can wait one more day.”

Swerve vented a sigh of relief and pulled you into a hug which somehow felt less intimate than the silliness of the pinkie-promise. “Good. Great. One more day, and you’ll know.”

While you laughed, Swerve felt nauseated. Sure, you would know what he had been planning for over a year, but would you still love him afterwards.

The alarm beeped incessantly and you shot up unusually quickly from your sleep. “I’M UP! I’M AWAKE… I’m regretting setting this so damn early.”

Swerve couldn’t help laughing at your owl-eyed expression as you stumbled from the berth, barely keeping your balance when you landed. He hadn’t slept that night, not needing to as often as you did, but he had stayed with you because you made him promise to, though you’d neglected to tell him why.

“We’ve got a few hours before we get there you know,” He told you. “You can sleep a little-”

“No,” You said, running to the bathroom to shower. “No time. You and me have to be the first off this ship.”

“Loving the enthusiasm, but that’s usually me. The last time I woke you up this early, you threatened to petrol-bomb my bar.”

“MOLOTOV!” You yelled from behind the shut bathroom door. “I THREATENED TO MOLOTOV YOUR BAR. NO PETROL HERE. HAS TO BE BOOZE.”

“All the same, why the early wake-up?”

“Megatron and Ultra Magnus.”

“Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G?”

“No.” You came from the bathroom dripping wet and wrapped in a towel that had Brainstorm’s face printed on it, blowing a kiss without his mouth-plate. You shook your head energetically, “Not kissing. Yelling. At me specifically. Before we go to any planet, they pull me aside and give me a lecture like I’m a kid. Don’t mention Cybertron, (Y/N). Don’t start a bar-fight with Whirl (Y/N). Don’t eat that weird fruit (Y/N), it could kill you. You don’t get any of those talks.”

“Okay, but in their defence, you did do all of those things on the last planet we went to.”

“Hey, first off, that dude should not have been listening, it was a private conversation and I could have been saying that Cybertron sucks for all he knew. Second, Whirl started that fight, after he dropped his holo-form and locked me in his cockpit, so that wasn’t me. And third, that fruit-guy said it was a grape and it looked just like one, how was I supposed to know it wasn’t one? Besides, I was with Velocity and she managed to save me so no harm, no foul.”

“Wow…You’re so cute when you’re irritated. Like a tiny chipmunk whose sole-purpose is to defy Dave in his quest to become the best singing Chipmunk of all.”

“Bite me,” You growled, walking into your wardrobe, looking for winter gear.

“Gladly, just take off that towel and I’m sure I can find a spot,” Swerve replied smoothly, glad he had the chance to be the cool one for once.

Stepping out of the wardrobe momentarily to tease him, you lowered the towel giving him a bit of a show. He wolf-whistled and you had to laugh, before changing into your clothes and attempting to speed dry your hair. Once you were ready, you were happy to find that Swerve had transformed into his alt-mode and was waiting to drive you to the hanger doors where the two of you would hopefully be the first to get off the ship.

In a crowd of disguised Cybertronians, you and Swerve found it easy enough to bypass Ultra Magnus and Megatron who were clearly looking for you. The second the hangar doors opened, the two of you ran outside hand in hand, laughing as fresh snow crunched underfoot.

“You know they’re going to talk your ears off when we get back,” Swerve said.

You shrugged, admiring the view of the icy covered town below, underneath a dark purple sky. “Who cares? Right now, all that matters is that the town is down there, it’s just you and me and… I’m in front.”

Swerve didn’t have a chance to respond as you started running down the hill towards the town, cheating in a race he wasn’t prepared for. His mouth stretched into a wide smile, ‘Joke’s on her, I don’t run out of breath.’

Despite that thought, you put up a good fight, almost beating him to the bottom before some snow gave way underfoot and you fell the rest of the way down.

“(Y/N)!” Swerve called frantically, catching up to you.

Although you were shocked by the fall, it didn’t stop you from laughing as you got up and wiped the snow off your clothes.

“Are you okay?” Swerve asked, grabbing your arms to check if you were alright and breathing a sigh of relief when he was sure you weren’t injured; for something so soft and squishy, humans certainly were resilient.

“I’m fine, but you’re not.”

“What-”

You shoved a handful of snow in his face and continued running.

“Oh, you can run but you can’t hide,” Swerve called, chasing after you.

There was plenty more time for fun and games as the two of you explored the world in the little time you had. Every so often, you would be reminded just how cruel the universe could be when you saw signs that warned against non-organics, but Swerve would quickly shrug it off and draw your attention to something else.

Finally, after exploring icy caverns, tasting new foods that didn’t spark any allergic reactions, watching a few of the locals, delighting in a spot of star-gazing, and generally experiencing things you never could have back on Earth, it was time to head back to the ship. Although Swerve was ready to finally tell you about the mini-bot shell, he opted to wait until he could take you to it so you could ask Perceptor and Brainstorm any questions that he might not be able to answer. There was a countdown on his visual feed that was a reminder of how long he had left in his promise to tell you; it was a relief knowing it would be gone by that night.

You walked hand in hand with Swerve through the cobble-stoned streets of the town, on your way back to the Lost Light.

“I just don’t get it,” Swerve grumbled. “How did you find that comedian funny? He was terrible.”

You thought of the comic who was in some kind of talent show by a sculpture of a frozen fountain. Then in a low voice so nobody would overhear, you said, “It’s an organic thing. Face it sweetie, you just wouldn’t get that kind of humour.”

“Fine. You just wait till we get back to our room, I’m going to find you some of Cyber- Uh, my home’s comedians,” He corrected as you crossed paths with another family. “Then we’ll see if you get my kind’s humour.”

You chuckled at his stubbornness, stopping when the two of you came to a short bridge that had three men on it. Two were human, the other was some kind of rock-like humanoid. Swerve tried to lead you on but you held onto his hand tightly, tugging him back. You knew what drunks looked like when you saw them, and the trio in front of you were clearly intoxicated.

“We should find another way back,” You whispered, unsettled.

“(Y/N), this is the fastest way back, trust me,” Swerve said, confident that after owning his own bar, he could navigate his way through a few overcharged organics.

Although you were still uneasy, you placed your trust in your husband and let him guide you towards the bridge. Upon seeing the two of you, the humans jeered. A sound like rocks being ground together let you know the other organic was doing the same.

“Oy, oy, lookee what we have here. Ain’t this a charmin’ pair?” A red headed man, with an almost blue tinted face from the cold chuckled.

“Alright gents,” Swerve grinned confidently. “Mind if we pass? Our ship’s leaving soon.”

“Oooh, is it now? You hear that Darren? Their ship’s leaving soon.”

Darren, the other human, an unremarkable man with a pock-marked face stepped forward, “I did hear. I also heard when he called us gents. I’m not a gent, are you a gent Al?”

“I don’t think I am. Nor is our mate here. He ain’t got the stones to be a gent.”

All three of them laughed at the awful pun, apparently finding it hilarious in their inebriated state. You felt your heart start beating faster, and once again you tried to pull Swerve away. This time he complied, realising his mistake in approaching the group.

“Nah!” Al called. “Don’t go, we was only having a laugh. Right lads?”

“Swerve!” You cried as the rock man grabbed Swerve and pulled him back for Al and Darren to mock.

“Listen guys, we’re all people here,” Swerve started to babble in his overly-friendly way. “We don’t have to fight and- oof-”

Darren punched Swerve’s stomach and Swerve doubled over in pain that he wouldn’t have felt outside of his holo-form, falling to the floor when the rock man dropped him.

“GET AWAY FROM HIM,” You screamed, running in front of Swerve.

“(Y/N), no,” Swerve groaned, trying to stand up.

“Aw look, he’s fond of his lass,” Darren laughed.

“Aye,” Al sneered, “I’m fond of her too. Tell you what, we’ll just take her and leave, yeah? Then you won’t miss your ship, will you, Swerve? Stupid fuckin’ name.”

The rock man reached past his human companions to lift you up over his shoulder, and you screamed in outrage, punching, kicking, hissing, doing anything possible to free yourself. Upon seeing you in danger, defending him of all things, Swerve snarled. Disobeying all the rules, he freed himself of his holo-form and mass displacement.

“THAT’S MY WIFE!” He roared in all his robotic glory, slapping Darren and Al to the floor.

The rock man, apparently panicked by the sight of a non-organic, dropped you and fled back into the town.

“(Y/N)!” Swerve rushed to your side and held you close, checking you for injuries. “Are you alright?”

While Swerve fussed over you, Al pushed himself up to stare in mute disgust at the scene of pure love before him. An organic and a non-organic married? It was an abomination that made him glad he hadn’t had his way with you.

‘Spoilt goods,’ He thought cringing as you and Swerve walked away from the fight, if it could be called that.

Abhorred and repulsed by you, Al decided to make the universe a better place. “Fuckin’ robo-whore,” He whispered, reaching into his belt for his pistol.

Just one headshot and it would all be over. Drunk as he was however, Al would not have made a headshot in a million years.

“You were right,” Swerve said, shaking his head and holding you close. “We should have never crossed that bridge.”

You didn’t say anything but you did gasp and lurch forwards as a bang erupted from behind you. Everything after that seemed to happen in slow motion. Swerve screaming. You looked down to your jacket, finding that it had changed from white to red. You tried to speak but couldn’t. Darkness kept clouding your vision. You were on the snow. Light again and you were in Swerve’s alt-mode. Darkness. You opened your eyes to find Ratchet and Velocity hovering over you.

You could hear Swerve shouting something, though you couldn’t see him.

“-NEW BODY- PERCEPTOR & BRAINSTORM- SINCE THE WEDDING-”

The next time darkness overtook you, you didn’t wake up for a long time, and as Ratchet and Velocity hung over you, they wondered if you ever would again.

Drugs Suck

Season 3 spoilers-beware!!

Sorry for the wait, my dog is scared of thunder and its been storing all day so I haven't been able to upload till now. Thank you guys for all the love being show and the requests! I love you all!! The prompt list is here if you wanted to request from that! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ Request-anonymous asked: Steve x reader where she comes in with Dustin and Erica to get Steve and robin and Steve get's super giddy about seeing her like even more giddy than he already is And he constantly holds her hand while they are excaping because he secretly loves her and the drugs the Russians have them just make it all spill out but the reader doesn't believe him and gets all huffy and annoyed that he's saying this stuff while drugged? Im sorry if that's a lot ~⭐ ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ As Erica, Dustin and I unlocked the cell door to get Robin and Steve out, I couldn’t help but shake. Steve is my best friend, and knowing what the Russians probably did to him, made me furious. I started to have more than friends feelings for Steve right before the summer started and I knew he didn’t feel the same, so I was slowly coming to terms with my feelings. I'm sure I’m not the only girl in Hawkins that had to come to terms with Steve Harrington not loving her. As soon as the door opened, I ran to Steve who was smiling wide at me with blood all over him. This was a image I would never be able to get out of my head. “(Y/N)!! Sweetheart thank god you are here!! How did you know you were what I was wishing for?” He cheered as I tried to untie him. I have never seen Steve like this not high Steve or drunk Steve. It was nice to hear him calling me one of the names that I wished he would for so long but he didn't mean it. “What is wrong with him?” Erica asked making me shrug, not knowing what the Russians did to him and Robin. I would feel Steve's gaze on me as I tired to untie him, making me get nervous. As soon as I got Steve untied, he stood up, and interlocked our fingers. Making me blush slightly before pulling him towards the door. “I missed you!” He shouted making Robin giggle behind him. What the hell what’s wrong with them? As we all ran down the hallway toward the guard cart that we were going to have to drive back to the elevator, I noticed how tightly Steve was holding my hand, it was beyond strange. I pushed Robin and Steve into the back of the cart earning a yell and cry from Steve. “Steve, quiet, oh my god are you thing to get us killed?” I asked him and he shook his head no before pouting. “You let go of my hand.” He groaned making Dustin, Erica and I look at each other, we had never seen Steve act like this, it was beyond weird. “Dustin, can you drive this?” I asked him, knowing that Steve wouldn’t stop until I got into the back with him and Robin. “Yeah, just silence baby Steve back there.” He reassured making me laugh as I hopped in the back, Steve grabbing me by my waist and pulling me to him tightly, dot get me wrong the attention from Steve was great but he wasn’t himself, he was wasn’t thinking straight. “(Y/N) and Steve sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G” Robin sang making Steve kiss my cheek over and over again. “Steve, stop” I tried, not wanting to deal with him apologizing for saying things he didn’t mean when we was drugged. “Nooo, I love youuuu” he wooed making Robin applaud and making me rip my hand away from Steve’s. This was going to get old, really fast. “Stop talking, you are not yourself and you don’t mean what you are saying. Talk to me once the drugs are out of your system. You don’t love me, you are just on drugs.” I swore before Dustin stopped the cart, everyone silent from my outburst at Steve and we all pilled out. Once we got back up the mall, Erica, Dustin and I put sat Robin and Steve down in the movie theater, he hadn’t said a word since I yelled at him. "Sit, watch movie, eat." I said as I handed Steve a bag of popcorn that I took from outside the theater. Robin and him just nodded, the drugs taking them over. Dustin, and I went to try to call for help while Erica watched the drugged pair. As soon as we got of the theater, Dustin looked over at me, shaking his head. "Steve may be drugged, but he meant every word." Dusting defended making me stop dead in my tracks, Dustin wouldn't have opened his mouth unless he knew something. "What do you know Henderson?" I grabbed his arm and bending down to his height making him face palm with a sigh. *Steve's Point Of View* Once I had puked all my guts out, and the room stopped spinning I immediately groaned. "You are so dead." Robin laughed from the stall next to me, remembering the same thing that I was, my drug induced love confession for (Y/N). She is my best friend, we do everything together, she makes me laugh, does stupid things just to make me laugh, she is beautiful even when she cries, she has been there for me through so much and it only took Russians drugging me to tell her that, shit. "Drugs suck." I groaned, getting off the bathroom floor and walking to find (Y/N). I clutched my ribs as I walked, eye gaze meeting (Y/N)'s as she paced by the water fountain that Robin and I had drank from, moments before. She heard me groan softly making her look at me and pushing an hand towards me. "Don't come over here, I'm trying to process what Dustin just told me, without killing you." She explained making my eyes go wide, he told her. He swore that he would never tell her, not unless he had to. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, a scared smile on her lips. "You're my best friend, it doesn't make any sense. Dustin told me that you like me and you have had feelings for me since the summer started, the whole time that I had been trying to ignore and get rid of my feelings, you had the same ones. This is weird, wont it ruin our friendship? What if we break up? What about Robin? What about how the kids will react?" She rambled making m e walk towards her, cupping her face in my hands and connected her lips. My heart soared as she kissed me back, her hands in the bottom layer of my hair, my lip stinging slightly from how many times that I had been hit. If it wasn't for being drugged, I don't know if I would have anything to (Y/N), maybe the Russians, did me a favor.

yo. idk what i'm doing but i'm too d i s t r a c t e d to be p r o d u c t i v e hahaha..... it's k i l l i n g m e!

Aww I'm sorry to hear that, nony!! This happens to me as well, so I can share what I've done to stay on task this week! @tododeku-or-bust suggested this and it's worked for me so far! Its like time for Zen. Use a timer on your phone and set it for 20 minutes. That way you cab concentrate on something for that time. Then when the time is up, you take a small break, 10-20 minutes to let your mind rest. Then start the timer for 20 minutes again for work. Its been really helpful!

What I also like to do is listen to noises that are relaxing, like cars driving in the rain, rain falling with thunder, nature sounds, waves on the beach, being underwater, soft piano music, this on going lo-fi music on YouTube that's pretty cool for studying, and I pair it up with background noise that I can get used to and sort of ignore like a radio station in Spanish (those help me more than stations in English). I also go to places that help me feel more productive. I can NOT be in my bedroom. I don't focus. So I go to the kitchen or the living room. Even my parents bedroom is better for me. So find a place where you can sit down and feel relaxed and able to work. I remember @trenchcoatkitten told me about a cute fountain they have, so you can try to have decorations and things like that to help you feel better, too. @red-white-n-daddyissues has also suggested to make a schedule with your tasks! And my therapist has suggested to make a To-do list of the things you need to do in a day.

Hopefully this helps you!!! I know it's hard getting to do things and being distracted. I spent all day on my phone "resting" after a long week of studying, but I needed the break. So make sure you take breaks as well!! Make sure to stand up, stretch, drink water, and eat!

[voiceofreader]

I had a request for this, but mobile fucked me over and deleted it when I opened it soo... *insert shrug emoji here*

I had some troubles with this just because I made Todoroki sound so stale and boring so I tried not to.

But also, hey, this is my take on what he would be like, so :P

Shouto Todoroki A-Z Fluff

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Shouto likes cute dates.

He loves taking you out to dinners, movies, walks in a beautiful park.

He wants to be a cliche posh couple

Besides dates, Shouto just loves being around you in comfortable silence.

He can and will just sit next to you and watch you read a book silently to yourself.

He just loves being in your presence.

He loves doing homework with you.

Even if you two are on different intellectual levels, he doesn’t mind.

If he ends up spending most of study time helping you understand a subject/topic better, he is happy just because you’ll do better in class now.

He also likes to go shopping with you because he has daddy’s credit card and doesn’t give a fuck.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

The one thing he loves the most about you is your acceptance of him.

He also loves your support of his dreams and goals.

Absolutely in love with your smile and will feel the butterflies go wild if he’s the one who can make you smile/laugh

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Shouto might be a little slow at understanding your quirks/triggers, so if anything he’s going to do more damage control than preventative help.

If you can really hide your emotions well, or don’t tell him what’s wrong, he’s not going to catch on right away.

He’s also going to be really guilty and disappointed with himself because he’s going to think it’s his fault you’re sad or anxious because you apparently don’t trust him enough to go to him for help. He’ll think it’s all his fault you’re in trouble.

But if you do reach out to him, he’s going to use every resource possible to help you.

If you’re chronically depressed, Shouto will offer to help you get professional help.

Not because he doesn’t want to help you personally, he just thinks it’s better that you get professional help because they’ll do a way better job than him.

If you don’t need/want professional advice or care. Shouto will let you vent to him all you need to, or make you feel better.

Shouto will mentally freak out with your first few anxiety attacks, just because he doesn’t know how to fix it and he doesn’t understand them.

He will then ask for advice from your friends and family on how to help you or how to look for signs that an attack will or can happen.

He’ll also read up on anxiety disorders and tips because he needs to be as knowledgeable as possible to help you.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Shouto is a bit hesitant about hoping for/imagining a future with you just because he doesn’t want to get let down if you leave him.

He thinks you could do way better than him and will realize that yourself eventually.

But he does want to take care of you and make you happy.

If you want to be a house spouse, he’ll happily let you never work a day again in your life.

If you want to a big lavish house, or want to move literally anywhere in the world, Shouto is on that.

He is scared of having children with you because he is so scared that he’s going to let you and the kids down.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Shouto is passive.

He’ll be happy if you want to take full control of the relationship because he doesn’t care what happens as long as you’re both content with the relationship.

If you let Shouto be the complete dom of the relationship, he’s going panic a bit because he doesn’t know how to boyfriend and he’s not sure if he’s boyfriend-ing right.

But he’ll eventually get the hang of it and stop fretting so much

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

Shouto will forgive you almost every time no matter what.

It’ll take a lot to really make him angry at you.

I mean, it doesn’t, but why would you purposely try to do that?

If you two somehow find yourselves arguing and cannot come to an agreement, or someone refuses to apologize or admit fault:

Shouto will still talk to you and be around you, he’ll pretend you two aren’t kinda annoyed with each other, but he’s going be a bit tense and stoic.

Shouto will usually be the first to apologize or try to come up with a resolution because he misses you and he usually always puts the fault on himself no matter what.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Shouto was grateful the moment he started falling for you and you weren’t even weren’t together yet.

He just thought you were so beautiful and he was so thankful he was able to live in the same timeline as you, and witness such perfection.

Shouto will constant be aware of what you do for him.

He’s a polite boy who says thank you and is constantly wanting to repay you.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

Shouto hides his insecurities from you.

He may eventually share these problems with you.

But if you voice that you feel sad or are worried for him because of his self doubt/self esteem, he may keep his struggles to himself to keep the burden off of you.

Shouto is a suffer in silence type and you will have to break him of that.

He most likely won’t know that you want him to come to you for help.

He’ll act as if you just invented therapy right there when you ask him to vent to you.

“What is this “talk my feelings with you” thing you’re suggesting? I can do that? Genius.”

But when he shares his feelings with you and he sees how understanding you are, he’ll feel way better, and he’ll start doing it more often.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

You will help him with his daddy/mommy issues.

You’ll make him see that his fire is beautiful and his own.

I mean, sure, Midoriya was the first, but you’ll really hammer it in better and make Shouto stop feeling like he’s just doing what his father wants.

You will introduce him to so many different places.

Sports, music, art, foods, date ideas, activities.

He’ll have so much fun trying out so many new things with you.

He’ll trust people better.

He’ll start opening up to his friends more.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Shouto is really level headed, and trusts you to make your own decisions and judgements.

Shouto only steps into something if you’re getting uncomfortable with the person hitting on you, or they’re getting too handsy.

Shouto will come over and hold your hand, pulling you closer to him and away from the threat.

He might also kiss your hand to show that you’re his.

Shouto will do what he has to, to keep you safe and scare off people.

But this doesn’t mean he doesn’t get jealous.

He tries his best not to let him get to him.

He also doesn’t want to bother you with his jealousy because he doesn’t want to sound controlling or insecure.

You’ll know if Shouto is jealous because he doesn’t hide it well.

Shouto will watch someone closely if he feels like they’re trying to come between you and Shouto or what Shouto thinks “better than him and will take you away.”

If Shouto has to interact with said person, he’s very reserved and short.

When Shout is jealous, and you two are alone, he acts different.

He’s more clingy; Showering you in affection and compliments.

He’ll bring up who is bothering him and he’ll ask you what you think of that person, to see if he can get any clues from your answer to see if this person really is a potential threat.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Shouto is a shy kisser.

His kisses are soft and start off hesitant.

But they will get more rough, or intense when Shouto gets really into it.

Shouto’s first kiss with you was cautious and quick.

He didn’t want to overwhelm you or push boundaries.

He’ll gain confidence with his kisses when he gets more comfortable and experienced.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Shouto may not understand that what he feels for you is something more than friendship.

Some outside force will have to intervene and show him that he’s into you.

Once he figures this out, he still might not confess to you.

He’ll try to leave you hints. Either it be small gifts, favors, or just spending time with you.

He’s hoping that this woos you and you confess to him first instead.

If you’re not getting his clues he’ll have to eventually tell you.

He’ll want to take you out and give you a good time, and then confess.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Shouto is a bit intimidated by marriage, because of how his parents ended up.

But nonetheless, Shouto wants to spend forever with you.

Shouto wants to go all out in his style.

A lavish date, at an expensive restaurant, maybe go to some big fancy event or show, a walk in the park under a bright, clear starry night. Maybe ask you during a fireworks show, or maybe some fountain light show.

He wants everything to be perfect.

Marrying Shouto is just like dating him, except living with him and sleeping in the same bed.

He’s still going to be himself except more happier because he’s just so grateful.

His gifts may get even more expensive or extravagant.

He wants to spoil the hell out of you.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

Shouto calls you by your name.

Might even be so bold as to refer to you by your first name *gasp*

You might be able to get him to call you some names you like.

But he’ll feel ridiculous if they’re too cliche and embarrassing.

But on the brightside, he’ll let you call him whatever you like.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

Shouto is far more happier.

He is on cloud nine.

If Shouto is still a stoic boy when you two start dating, no one will really see much of a difference in him unless they really really pay attention.

Shouto likes to express himself with material items or just focusing on you.

He’s willing to do anything to make you happy.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Unless someone asks specifically about your relationship, no one will know you and Shouto are dating.

Shouto likes to keep his private life secret.

He also isn’t the bragging type.

Shouto doesn’t like pda.

If you show him affection in public, he’ll get too embarrassed to reciprocate.

He’s okay with hand holding.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Shouto is a great listener.

He’ll stay silent and let you talk and talk all day and night.

He’d nod along and reply when appropriate.

He’s just so focused on you and he loves your voice.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Shouto is textbook, cliche, rom-com romantic.

He’s the perfect gentleman, getting you beautiful bouquets of roses or flower arrangements.

He’s getting you something every anniversary, and he never forgets a special date.

Shouto doesn’t know how to boyfriend so he learned from the media on what a perfect boyfriend is and he is trying his best.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Shouto is your biggest fan/supporter.

Whatever you wanna do, he’s there cheering you on or helping you reach that goal.

He believes in you, 100% because he knows you’re smart and absolutely amazing.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

If Shouto thinks there’s something wrong with the relationship, or he thinks you’re losing interest in him, he’s doing everything he can think of to fix things.

Outlandish date ideas

Expensive vacations

Lavish gifts

He’s asking for advice from everyone as to what he should do.

He’s even asking Bakugou for help.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

Shouto is the world’s best listener

He remembers every little detail you tell him even if you forget you told him.

He knows things you didn’t know because he’s just paying that much attention to you.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Your relationship is everything to him.

You’re the one person in this entire world he trusts the most.

You’ve brought him out of his shell

You’ve built up his self worth

You’re his biggest fan

Without you, he feels like the world’s loneliest person.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Everyone knows this headcanon about Shouto’s hot and cold side.

During the winter, you cuddle up on his left side for warmth, and in the summer, the right side for coolness.

And Shouto finds it very amusing.

But also, when you’re cold and seek his warmth, he gets so happy that his left side can make you happy.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Shouto can be very affectionate in private.

When you two are alone, he has his arms around you the majority of the time.

He loves to kiss your hands and all over your face.

He thinks it’s so cute how flustered you get over such little sentiments

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Shouto is far more reserved from his friends

He’s also constantly lost in thought, thinking of you.

Shouto isn’t big on technology, but when you’re gone, he is glued to his phone waiting for any responses from you.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Shouto will go the extra mile for you.

You are the love of his life.

But when comes to how far he’s willing to go to keep you, it really depends on how far in the relationship you two are, or what point in his hero career he is.

The Christmas Fiasco || Part 5 || The Boogie Kids

As the mystery begins to unfold further, the Boogie children come to a chilling conclusion, but can their father finally put their minds at rest?

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed across the square, alarming a few of the residents who were wandering around and talking to one another. From the Town Gates, Thorn, Storm and Shadow came tearing into view, while at the Residential Area Gates, Icelyn skidded in.

"Ice!" panted Thorn, sitting at the edge of the fountain to catch his breath. "You're never gonna believe what we found!" "You're never gonna believe what I found!" she cried. "Y-You first!" decided Shadow courteously, placing his hands on his hips.

"The writing on the plans was Uncle Jack's!" she exclaimed. "The Mayor told me that he once took over Christmas and became Santa Claus!"

"What?" blurted Storm. "Holy shit!" laughed Thorn. "Great minds think sorta alike, I guess?" Icelyn frowned. "What? Why?" "D-Dad once took over C-Christmas Town!" explained Shadow. "Shut up! No way!" Icelyn covered her mouth with her hands. "You think it was the same year?"

The twins both looked at Shadow who was scuffing his shoes against the cobblestones. "I-I don't think so…" he admitted awkwardly, scratching his neck. "I r-remember it only b-being Dad in Christmas T-Town, and when J-Jack came, he wasn’t dressed as Santa Claus."

Icelyn responded with a slow nod. Shadow’s body language suggested that they were still enemies at the time that this event occurred, which only added to her initial feeling of unease.

“We found some plans!” prompted Storm, cutting the tension short before it could manifest. “Show her, Shad!”

Blinking out of his daze, Shadow smiled sheepishly. “O-Oh, right!” He placed his hand out of his side, dragging a blueprint from Thorn’s shadow as if it was a magic trick. Even if it wasn’t intended as a stunt, Thorn looked suitably impressed. Catching the plan in his hand, he passed it to Icelyn.

Unravelling the plans, she squinted over the scribbled letters and sat on the edge of the fountain. “Is this a train?”

“Not just any train!” Thorn leaned over and pointed to the diagram on the page. “It’s a replica of the Christmas Town train, but more...Halloween Towny.” “Still can’t think of a word to describe it, huh?” chuckled Storm, folding his arms. Thorn glared at him.

“Wait...the writing there-” She pointed to her father’s smudged scrawl. “- does that say Present Winch?” Thorn squinted, practically pressing his face into the paper. “Huh...I thought it said Pretend Witch, but that makes more sense.” he muttered.

“Hold on a sec…” Storm drew up and sat at her other side, tilting his head to read the page. “Present winch...cutting a rope? You don’t think-!”

Icelyn swallowed thickly. “Yup,” she exhaled. “If this plan is right...Dad was hoping to tie Santa to the present winch in Christmas Town-”

“And the t-train would c-cut him d-down…” Shadow’s arms slowly unfolded, the whites of his eyes glimmering in the flickering candlelight. “...so he’d f-fall and-”

“Holy shit!” exclaimed Thorn, jumping to his feet with his hands clamped to either side of his face. “Dad tried to kill Santa?” “G-Guys, I really t-think we should s-stop, now.” advised Shadow warily, tugging at his sleeve. “I say w-we should put the p-plan back where we f-found it and just ask Dad the r-rest.”

“Are you kidding? We’re so close to solving the mystery!” whined Thorn, pushing his beanie back to comb sprigs of his hair out of his eyes. “What if we ask Uncle Bone Man next? Or one of the other citizens?”

“I-I’m serious, Thorn!” Shadow’s voice cracked as he tried to raise it, clearing his throat. Storm looked up at his older brother. “What is it, Shadow?” he asked carefully.

Shadow scratched the side of his nose with his thumb, looking around with restless yellow eyes. “N-Nothing…” he stammered. “I-I just don’t think i-it’s a good idea.” Thorn’s stance relaxed ever so slightly. “Do you...remember something about Christmas Town?”

There were a few moments of silence, the howling wind whipping through the square and rattling the skeletal leaves into spirals in the frozen air. Shadow shifted on his feet, looking anywhere but at his siblings sitting at the edge of the fountain, his mouth dry with words he couldn’t vocalise.

Icelyn felt her chest clench. The twins exchanged a brief glance of concern, momentarily wondering if they’d pushed their brother too far; just as they’d done during their heated argument in the forest cabin after Halloween.

Shadow clenched his eyes shut and took a breath. “A-All I remember...is that D-Dad took over Christmas T-Town because he had an...old debt to...repay S-Sandy- I mean, Santa Claus.” confessed Shadow disjointedly. “And I think it h-had something to do with the f-first Christmas.”

“The one where Jack became Santa Claus?” prompted Icelyn gently. Shadow nodded, swallowing thickly. Icelyn looked at her older brother for half a moment before she got to her feet and wrapped her arms around him in a hug.

Thorn hung his head, taking his beanie off and running his fingers through his hair. “Okay, that’s enough...we can leave it there for now.” he conceded. “I’m sorry, Shadow.” “I’m sorry, too…” Icelyn pulled away, looking up at her brother and then turning to face the twins. “Me too.” agreed Storm, looking between Shadow, Icelyn and Thorn. “Me too.” added Shadow, lifting his chin. “B-But, we can’t give up yet. We g-gotta help Dad. If we c-can get to the bottom of this, m-maybe we can have a r-real holiday together.”

“Kids?” Oogie was standing at the top of the stairs leading out of the town hall, an expression of confusion etched on his brow. Icelyn’s eyes flew to the plan in her hands. Shadow grabbed the end of it, letting it dissolve into darkness between her fingers. She shot him a thankful look.

“Pops!” exclaimed Thorn, throwing his beanie back on and immediately reverting back to his usual bravado. “Fancy seeing you here!” Oogie’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. “I know that look...” he said, jogging down the steps and striding across to them. “What are you up to?”

Storm tutted and folded his arms. “Our own father suspecting we’re up to no good!” “Shameful, really.” sighed Thorn, shaking his head. “First, he can’t tell us apart and now this?”

Oogie raised a skeptical eyebrow at the twins, placing his hands on his hips. “Shadow? You keepin’ ‘em outta trouble?” Shadow nodded firmly. “Y-Yeah, of course! We were j-just looking for...decorations!” Oogie tore his gaze away from the twins to look over at Shadow in confusion. “Decorations? For what?”

“For the Christmas Tree!” Icelyn chimed in, placing her hand on her hip. “See?” the twins chorused. “W-We wondered if J-Jack would have any?” tried Shadow, tilting his head. Oogie hopped between his feet. “Your Uncle Jack might have a couple things, but why don’t ya just get ‘em from Christmas Town?”

“We wanted more Halloween Towny decorations this year.” Thorn gave Storm a cold look out of the corner of his eye. “Y’know, like the way they decorate it in the town square here, rather than the way they do it in Christmas Town.” Oogie sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Okay, what’s really goin’ on here?”

“What do you me-?” “It’s okay, Storm…” sighed Icelyn, taking a step forward. She bit her lip and looked up at her father. “...it was my idea.” “What was your idea?” asked Oogie dejectedly, running his hand through his curls. “To ask about the first Christmas in Halloween Town.”

Oogie’s tired expression receded into one of shock, standing to the side to look at his daughter better. “You...what?” “Don’t be mad at her!” implored Thorn, jumping in front of him. “We helped, too!” “Yeah! We all got involved!” insisted Storm, sidestepping to stand beside his twin. “W-We just wanted to k-know why you d-don’t like Christmas.” Shadow sighed, looking at his feet.

Oogie paused, looking between his children with a stationary expression of shock parked on his face. The siblings all looked horrified, awaiting his next sentence with bated breath and hammering heartbeats. Oogie exhaled sharply through his nose.

“Meet me back at the Lair in five minutes,” he advised them. “You ain’t in trouble...I promise.” Thorn blinked. “Boogie promise or-?” “Boogie promise. Now, get goin’! I’ll be right with ya!” he encouraged, shooing them away from the square.

Kiss Prompt #26!!! Planceeeee UwU

MY FIRST EVER REQUEST!! Thank you so much Anon! Hope you enjoy!

#26: Jealous Kiss

Canon-verse. Lance’s POV. Post Season 7. ~1200 words.

Lance hated himself a little bit.

He hadthought he was doing really well. He had found his place on the team and feltmore valuable than ever being Keith’s right hand and the established sharpshooter.He had even come to terms with the fact that Allura would never love him in thesame way he loved her, and after coming to that realization, his feeling hadstarted to wane.

He had hisfamily back, and was actively involved in both the salvation and restoration ofhis home planet. He was the hero he had always wanted to be.

But as hewatched Pidge and James Griffin share lunch in the Garrison lab (something evenhe knew wasn’t allowed), he felt the little greenmonster start to thrash in his chest again and hated himself a little bit more.

He had neverthought of himself as someone who was the type to want something that theycouldn’t have, but he figured that he had never come across something that could have been his, but was now out of reach.

It wasn’tlike Pidge and James were even dating! They were just friends who had a lot ofcommon ground, and lots of stuff to talk about, and similar worldviews… Lancewas sure they were be dating soon if he didn’t do something about it.

The questionwas: what could he do about it? It would have been easy enough to be petty andmean to him… If the guy hadn’t ended up being kinda likable in the end. Besides, he knew that James was also good friends with Veronica, and Lance definitely wasn’t planning on burning any bridges with his newly recovered family anytime soon. There was also the small fact that Hunk and Keith could see right through him.

Hunk hadrealized that Lance was jealous of Pidge’s quality time with James before Lancedid himself. They had all been in the cafeteria, eating their lunch, when Pidge, who was sitting across from Lance, started trading food items with James. He traded his peanut butter cookie for her yogurt cup, and she traded her extra corn dog for his fried okra. They were giggling and fake arguing throughout the whole exchange, and it all looked so much like flirting as they swatted each others’ hands away from the food they wanted to keep that Lance could feel the jealousy consuming him. At the time he hadn’t recognized it, but Hunk had, and Lance still remembered the sly look the robust man had given him over the edge of his juice box. 

That experience had been especially humiliating because after the whole exchange, Lance had tried to trade her his peanut butter cookie as well. “No thanks.” she had said, although she did blush heavily. Lance still wasn’t sure what that was about. 

And once Lance had figured it out, it wasn’t long before Keith hadsomehow found out. Lance was still trying to figure out who to blame for that. Now the two were constantly teasing him about how much heloved Pidge, and singing that silly childhood rhyme, “Lance and Pidge, sittingin a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Sometimes they even made harmonies, and at one point performed a fully choreographed dramatic interpretation which they somehow dragged Coran into. 

Needless tosay, it was definitely starting to grate on Lance’s nerves.

He didn’teven like her like that… Did he? He had never really considered Pidge as aromantic option before the given situation, and that only caused him to kickhimself even more because of course she was an option. She was beautiful, andfunny, and loved video games, and her family, and could hand him his own ass on a platter and he would say thank you, and… Quiznack. He liked her a lot.

This went on for weeks, with Lance pining after Pidge, having just realized that he fell forher at some point, while Pidge and James only got closer. Lance started seeingless and less of Pidge, until the only times he was guaranteed to see her weretheir scheduled game nights with the old Mercury Gameflux they had bought atthe space mall by stealing coins from the wishing fountain. Thinking back on itnow, Lance realized that could have easily been considered a date. He wonderedif Pidge had ever thought of it that way.

One nightduring their traditional weekly game nights, Pidge was kicking his butt atKillbot Phantasm I, as usual. At the same time, almost as if she was showingoff, she was talking his ear off about the new enhancements that her and Jameshad been working on for the MFE fighter planes. Lance felt his agitation grow slowlyevery time she mentioned his name, and when she transitioned from talking aboutthe professional aspect of their relationship to a funny story he had told her,Lance couldn’t take it any longer. He pressed pause on the game.

“And thenLeifsdottir was like… Hey! Why’d you pause the game?” She whipped her headaround to look at him with a surprised and slightly angry expression.

“Pidge? Am Iyour best friend?”

Pidge blinkedowlishly at him, her face aglow from the light of the screen in front of them, and she was obviously surprised by his question, “Well, best friend is a strong title, Lance.” He thought hemight have seen a hint of red on her face, but he couldn’t be entirely surewith the strange lighting. Plus, what reason would she have to blush? “You’redefinitely one of my best friends, but I’m also really close withHunk and Keith… Allura’s starting to make her way up there too. Plus I’mstarting to get really close with James…”

To this dayLance isn’t entirely sure what possessed him, but when Pidge mentioned freakingJames Griffin in the running for who could be her best friend,he lost it, feeling himself go green with envy and red with ragesimultaneously. He jerked forward, totally catching Pidge off guard and cuttingher off mid sentence (which she would most definitely chew him out for later).He grabbed her by the face and kissed her.

…

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

There was nothingbut screaming inside of his head. Screaming because why would you do that you idiot?Screaming because why is she not responding? Am I doing something wrong?Screaming because it felt so very amazing to be kissing Pidge.

Lance wasabout to pull back and try to save face when Pidge finally responded, snakingher hands up his chest and gently moving her lips against his. They sighedalmost simultaneously in bliss.

When theyfinally broke apart, they were both breathing a little heavily, despite thefact that the kiss hadn’t actually lasted long enough for them to be short ofbreath. Pidge was smiling up at him, and Lance felt the corners of his mouthturn up just at the sight of her smile.

“Pidge?”Lance whispered, and she hummed contentedly in response, “Tell me I’ll alwaysbe your best friend.”

Pidge lookeddazed for a second or so, before she raised an eyebrow teasingly. Lance felt his heart skip a beat at her expression, “I don’t know, Lance. How manybest friends do you know who have impromptu make-out sessions during gamenight?”

THE PROPHECY OF BARUCH - From The Douay-Rheims Bible - Latin Vulgate

Chapter 3

INTRODUCTION.

Baruch was a man of noble extraction, and learned in the law, secretary and disciple of the prophet Jeremias, and a sharer in his labours and persecutions; which is the reason why the ancient Fathers have considered this book as a part of the prophecy of Jeremias, and have usually quoted it under his name. Ch. --- The frequent Heb. idioms shew it to have been originally in that language. Baruch wrote by inspiration of the Holy Ghost the letter comprising the five first chapters, which he carried to the Jews from their brethren at Babylon. The martyrologies place his death, Dec. 28. The sixth chapter contains a letter of Jeremias, to which allusion is clearly made 2 Mac. ii. 2. The Church still recites the works of Baruch under the name of Jeremias. Sab. Pent. proph. 6. C. --- Many Fathers did so formerly, though they doubted not but Baruch was the author. See S. Iræn. v. 35. S. Aug. de Civ. Dei. xviii. 33. &c. Others, with Origen (Prin. ii. 3.) specify the writer; and the Councils of Laodicea, Florence, and Trent, decide that it is canonical. S. Jerom alleged it not against the Jews, as they denied its authority. W. --- See Jer. xxxii. 44. H. --- In his preface on Jeremias he testifies that "it contains many things relating to Christ and the latter times." W. --- Grotius in vain attempts to represent some parts as interpolated (C. iii. 38. &c. C.) and L. Cappellus has left some posthumous notes, which would represent the author as a stupid impostor, though he acknowledges his great learning. Houbigant.

The additional Notes in this Edition of the New Testament will be marked with the letter A. Such as are taken from various Interpreters and Commentators, will be marked as in the Old Testament. B. Bristow, C. Calmet, Ch. Challoner, D. Du Hamel, E. Estius, J. Jansenius, M. Menochius, Po. Polus, P. Pastorini, T. Tirinus, V. Bible de Vence, W. Worthington, Wi. Witham. — The names of other authors, who may be occasionally consulted, will be given at full length.

Verses are in English and Latin. HAYDOCK CATHOLIC BIBLE COMMENTARY

This Catholic commentary on the Old Testament, following the Douay-Rheims Bible text, was originally compiled by Catholic priest and biblical scholar Rev. George Leo Haydock (1774-1849). This transcription is based on Haydock's notes as they appear in the 1859 edition of Haydock's Catholic Family Bible and Commentary printed by Edward Dunigan and Brother, New York, New York.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Changes made to the original text for this transcription include the following:

Greek letters. The original text sometimes includes Greek expressions spelled out in Greek letters. In this transcription, those expressions have been transliterated from Greek letters to English letters, put in italics, and underlined. The following substitution scheme has been used: A for Alpha; B for Beta; G for Gamma; D for Delta; E for Epsilon; Z for Zeta; E for Eta; Th for Theta; I for Iota; K for Kappa; L for Lamda; M for Mu; N for Nu; X for Xi; O for Omicron; P for Pi; R for Rho; S for Sigma; T for Tau; U for Upsilon; Ph for Phi; Ch for Chi; Ps for Psi; O for Omega. For example, where the name, Jesus, is spelled out in the original text in Greek letters, Iota-eta-sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma, it is transliterated in this transcription as, Iesous. Greek diacritical marks have not been represented in this transcription.

Footnotes. The original text indicates footnotes with special characters, including the astrisk (*) and printers' marks, such as the dagger mark, the double dagger mark, the section mark, the parallels mark, and the paragraph mark. In this transcription all these special characters have been replaced by numbers in square brackets, such as [1], [2], [3], etc.

Accent marks. The original text contains some English letters represented with accent marks. In this transcription, those letters have been rendered in this transcription without their accent marks.

Other special characters.

Solid horizontal lines of various lengths that appear in the original text have been represented as a series of consecutive hyphens of approximately the same length, such as ---.

The half symbol (1/2) and three-quarters symbol (3/4) in the original text have been represented in this transcription with their decimal equivalent, (.5) and (.75) respectively.

Unreadable text. Places where the transcriber's copy of the original text is unreadable have been indicated in this transcription by an empty set of square brackets, [].

Chapter 3

They pray for mercy, acknowledging that they are justly punished for forsaking true wisdom. A prophecy of Christ.

[1] And now, O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the soul in anguish, and the troubled spirit crieth to thee:

Et nunc, Domine omnipotens, Deus Israel, anima in angustiis, et spiritus anxius clamat ad te.

[2] Hear, O Lord, and have mercy, for thou art a merciful God, and have pity on us: for we have sinned before thee.

Audi, Domine, et miserere, quia Deus es misericors : et miserere nostri, quia peccavimus ante te :

[3] For thou remainest for ever, and shall we perish everlastingly?

quia tu sedes in sempiternum, et nos, peribimus in aevum?

[4] O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, hear now the prayer of the dead of Israel, and of their children, that have sinned before thee, and have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, wherefore evils have cleaved fast to us.

Domine omnipotens, Deus Israel, audi nunc orationem mortuorum Israel, et filiorum ipsorum qui peccaverunt ante te, et non audierunt vocem Domini Dei sui, et agglutinata sunt nobis mala.

[5] Remember not the iniquities of our fathers, but think upon thy hand, and upon thy name at this time:

Noli meminisse iniquitatum patrum nostrorum, sed memento manus tuae et nominis tui in tempore isto :

[6] For thou art the Lord our God, and we will praise thee, O Lord:

quia tu es Dominus Deus noster, et laudabimus te, Domine :

[7] Because for this end thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before thee.

quia propter hoc dedisti timorem tuum in cordibus nostris, et ut invocemus nomen tuum, et laudemus te in captivitate nostra, quia convertimur ab iniquitate patrum nostrorum, qui peccaverunt ante te.

[8] And behold we are at this day in our captivity, whereby thou hast scattered us to be a reproach, and a curse, and an offence, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, who departed from thee, O Lord our God.

Et ecce nos in captivitate nostra sumus hodie, qua nos dispersisiti in improperium, et in maledictum, et in peccatum, secundum omnes iniquitates patrum nostrorum, qui recesserunt a te, Domine Deus noster.

[9] Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life: give ear, that thou mayst learn wisdom.

Audi, Israel, mandata vitae : auribus percipe, ut scias prudentiam.

[10] How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land?

Quid est, Israel, quod in terra inimicorum es,

[11] Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell.

inveterasti in terra aliena, coinquinatus es cum mortuis, deputatus es cum descendentibus in infernum?

[12] Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom:

Dereliquisti fontem sapientiae :

[13] For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou hadst surely dwelt in peace for ever.

nam si in via Dei ambulasses, habitasses utique in pace sempiterna.

[14] Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding: that thou mayst know also where is length of days and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.

Disce ubi sit prudentia, ubi sit virtus, ubi sit intellectus, ut scias simul ubi sit longiturnitas vitae et victus, ubi sit lumen oculorum, et pax.

[15] Who hath found out her place? and who hath gone in to her treasures?

Quis invenit locum ejus? et quis intravit in thesauros ejus?

[16] Where are the princes of the nations, and they that rule over the beasts that are upon the earth?

Ubi sunt principes gentium, et qui dominantur super bestias quae sunt super terram?

[17] That take their diversion with the birds of the air.

qui in avibus caeli ludunt,

[18] That hoard up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and there is no end of their getting? who work in silver and are solicitous, and their works are unsearchable.

qui argentum thesaurizant, et aurum, in quo confidunt homines, et non est finis acquisitionis eorum? qui argentum fabricant, et solliciti sunt, nec est inventio operum illorum?

[19] They are cut off, and are gone down to hell, and others are risen up in their place.

Exterminati sunt, et ad inferos descenderunt, et alii loco eorum surrexerunt.

[20] Young men have seen the light, and dwelt upon the earth: but the way of knowledge they have not known,

Juvenes viderunt lumen, et habitaverunt super terram, viam autem disciplinae ignoraverunt,

[21] Nor have they understood the paths thereof, neither have their children received it, it is far from their face.

neque intellexerunt semitas ejus, neque filii eorum susceperunt eam : a facie ipsorum longe facta est;

[22] It hath not been heard of in the land of Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman.

non est audita in terra Chanaan, neque visa est in Theman.

[23] The children of Agar also, that search after the wisdom that is of the earth, the merchants of Merrha, and of Theman, and the tellers of fables, and searchers of prudence and understanding: but the way of wisdom they have not known, neither have they remembered her paths.

Filii quoque Agar, qui exquirunt prudentiam quae de terra est, negotiatores Merrhae et Theman, et fabulatores, et exquisitores prudentiae et intelligentiae : viam autem sapientiae nescierunt, neque commemorati sunt semitas ejus.

[24] O Israel, how great is the house of God, and how vast is the place of his possession!

O Israel, quam magna est domus Dei, et ingens locus possessionis ejus!

[25] It is great, and hath no end: it is high and immense.

magnus est, et non habet finem : excelsus, et immensus.

[26] There were the giants, those renowned men that were from the beginning, of great stature, expert in war.

Ibi fuerunt gigantes nominati illi, qui ab initio fuerunt, statura magna, scientes bellum.

[27] The Lord chose not them, neither did they find the way of knowledge: therefore did they perish.

Non hos elegit Dominus, neque viam disciplinae invenerunt : propterea perierunt,

[28] And because they had not wisdom, they perished through their folly.

et quoniam non habuerunt sapientiam, interierunt propter suam insipientiam.

[29] Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?

Quis ascendit in caelum, et accepit eam, et eduxit eam de nubibus?

[30] Who hath passed over the sea, and found her, and brought her preferably to chosen gold?

Quis transfretavit mare, et invenit illam, et attulit illam super aurum electum?

[31] There is none that is able to know her ways, nor that can search out her paths:

Non est qui possit scire vias ejus, neque qui exquirat semitas ejus :

[32] But he that knoweth all things, knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore, and filled it with cattle and fourfooted beasts:

sed qui scit universa novit eam, et adinvenit eam prudentia sua qui praeparavit terram in aeterno tempore : et replevit eam pecudibus et quadrupedibus

[33] He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth: and hath called it, and it obeyeth him with trembling.

qui emittit lumen, et vadit, et vocavit illud, et obedit illi in tremore.

[34] And the stars have given light in their watches, and rejoiced:

Stellae autem dederunt lumen in custodiis suis, et laetatae sunt :

[35] They were called, and they said: Here we are: and with cheerfulness they have shined forth to him that made them.

vocatae sunt, et dixerunt : Adsumus, et luxerunt ei cum jucunditate, qui fecit illas.

[36] This is our God, and there shall no other be accounted of in comparison of him.

Hic est Deus noster, et non aestimabitur alius adversus eum.

[37] He found out all the way of knowledge, and gave it to Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.

Hic adinvenit omnem viam disciplinae, et tradidit illam Jacob puero suo, et Israel dilecto suo.

[38] Afterwards he was seen upon earth, and conversed with men.

Post haec in terris visus est, et cum hominibus conversatus est.

Ver. 13. Peace. There is none for the wicked; but only for the observers of the law. --- For ever. Many read, "upon the land," conformably to the Greek.

Ver. 15. Treasures? How few are truly wise and virtuous! The great men of the world have missed their aim. Israel has received the law. Yet where is the fruit of it? This is developed in the sequel.

Ver. 16. Nations of Assyria? &c. They esteemed themselves as lords of nature, and delighted in hunting. The beasts and birds are subject to them. Gen. i. 26. Jer. xxvii. 6. Dan. ii. 38. C.
