#sleep well my little sweet

[sysig]

Gosh, it's almost october already? Time flies! For a Vargas request: its quite a fluffy one for the spooky times (and the source material haha), but I've always found the idea of Edgar from And Also With You sleeping on his wings quite endearing. They're built in blankets! Great for some rest (which this man desperately needs lmao).

Day 5 - Heavenly rest

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #But you and I both know he's not gonna Stay asleep for long haha #Phew I feel out of wing practice too! All these reminders! It's good to come back haha #I yet again lined all those chains by hand - who can stop me? Lol #I also think it's a bit funny that I drew his halo like that lol - I've previously just done the super-sharp disc style #This is more on-model! But I'm not used to it! How/why did my brain default to this?? Lol well it works #Imagining him curling up on his lonesome ah it's sweet and sad #A little Edgar-cocoon but he's already got beautiful wings! Would he turn back into a caterpillar? #All his eyes look so strange closed as well! Almost more like scars on his skin #Or the one on his forehead looks like an eyebrow haha #Like he's grimacing in his sleep but no! He's quite restful in the moment <3 #He'll get a rude wake up call in no time ♪

Haiii! I love your work :D

Could you possibly do a gaz x reader? When him and reader are celebrating their anniversary:), that would be really cute :’))

Hello! Thank you, I hope this is enjoyable as well! I went with a more fluffy route this time, I just wanna see Gaz happy and healthy and as far aways from any and all danger as possible! This request was really cute, I love Gaz! I'm glad there are several of us who do! Though I think I went a bit overboard with this, but how could I not when people are requesting best boi!

Celebrating Your Anniversary with Gaz

For the sake of this request, we’re gonna go with the idea that Gaz was able to be with you during your anniversary and didn’t end up being somewhere in the world, having to fight tooth and nail for his survival. We’re gonna go the fluffy route with this!

His memory is really good, Gaz would never forget something as important as your anniversary. Doesn’t matter if you’re together, doesn’t matter if you’re married. He has it memorized, he wrote it down on his phone, he noted it on several loose papers lying around just about anywhere. Trust me when I say he’s the last person to ever forget something like this. Although he would appreciate it if you remembered as well, he’d probably love it even more if, just once, you forgot about your anniversary, that way he could properly surprise and absolutely spoil you rotten. He wants to make your anniversaries days you can remember, so he will tailor them to your liking. You like going to arcades or amusement parks? A bookshop date? You just wanna go to McDonald’s? It’s all yours, and don’t you dare even think about paying, your wallet will not be strained on such a holy and sublime day.

The day would start off simple. You’d sleep in, if you can, cuddling for as long as possible, until one of you needs to get up for whatever reason. He’ll nuzzle into you, holding you as close to him as possible. He wants you to feel his warmth, how alive you make him feel, he wants you to feel how his heart beats for you and only you. Gaz has a beautiful voice, it’s fairly low and very calming to listen to. He’d hum your favorite tune that’s a bit calmer. He wants you to be as relaxed for him as possible, maybe even fall asleep in his arms again, even if he definitely wouldn’t mind you staying up to chat a bit with him as well. He’s gonna be all over you, making sure to touch you wherever he can so you feel secure with him. And when you’re drifting off to sleep again, that’s when his plan begins.

Gaz will plant a kiss on your neck or your forehead, whatever he can reach as he excuses himself to the bathroom. However, this sly dog will actually head for the kitchen to make you some breakfast. He’s a good cook, so whatever it is you like, he’ll make it. French toast? Scrambled eggs? Eggs and bacon? Your wish is his command, even if you never uttered a single order. He just hopes you won’t wake up or, even if you do, will at the very least stay in bed. This breakfast isn’t for you to enjoy in the kitchen or the living room, you’re to eat it in your bed. He even got you a nice tray so he can carry it to you without making a mess. Orange juice and all. You will be spoiled.

It’s then that he’ll wake you with another soft kiss to your temple, maybe shaking you awake a bit, so you can enjoy your breakfast together. Might even feed you a bit, just to be embarrassingly cute while he’s at it. The more content you look, the better. Afterwards, he’ll leave for the kitchen again, putting the tray away and decorating the living room a bit. There will be the most gorgeous roses you’ve ever seen in a vase, alongside several other flowers, each of which tells of a different kind of adoration. And when you finally follow suit and spot the flowers, he’ll just smile and claim that they looked very pretty. If you understand flower language, then you can tell he just really wanted to say he loved you in as many different ways as he could.

It’s then that he’ll ask you to get ready for the day, to brush your teeth and hair, and put on some clothes. You don’t need to look particularly fancy, he wants you to be as comfortable as you could possibly be. This is when he’ll take you to a place you like which, as mentioned before, could be just about anything. Waterpark, roller skate rink or just a lovely walk in the park, he’s open for everything. You will be accommodated accordingly. Those places are where you’ll be spending the majority of your day, grabbing something simple to eat for the time being, such as some fries or maybe some toast at a good cafe or pub.

When day meets night, he’ll take your hand in his, taking you to a fancy restaurant you’ve been to a few times. Preferably one where the both of you can look down at the city and see all the beautiful lights it has to offer. You’ll spend another two hours or so there. At the very least, you’ll be there until it gets dark, eating good food, having a good drink, maybe some wine as well. It doesn’t matter what you choose, all Gaz wants is to see the twinkling city lights dance in your eyes afterwards. When the evening is starting to roll over into night, he’ll take you to a ferris wheel. A big one where you can see the entire city from.

He’ll watch you as you excitedly look everywhere, taking in as many sights as you can, hoping that the ferris wheel stops at just the right time. Ideally, that would be right at the top. But he won’t be too picky if it’s somewhat to the side as well. As long as he gets to see your mouth agape at all the pretty lights, he’s content. While the ferris wheel stops, he’ll shoot his shot. If you’ve been together for a few years but aren’t married yet, he’ll propose to you. If you’re already married, he’ll still get down on one knee, take your hand in his and kiss its back tenderly, like a knight in shining armor. It’s embarrassingly sweet, but he knows no one but you is going to see it, so he does it anyway. You’re royalty in his eyes, you’re his to protect and care for, and he needs to show his loyalty however he can. Once he’s done kissing your hand, he’ll get up, holding your hand still and pulling you up with him, just so he can hold you close once again. Another tender kiss to your lips, and then he’ll get out a small box. Either the proposal ring or, if you’re married already, he’ll gift you a lovely little necklace made of pure silver. Something you can wear that will always remind you of him.

Once you’re down on the ground again, he’ll take your hand in his and lead you home, conversing with you about how much he loves you, how happy he is to have you in his life and how he hopes he gets to spend many, many more years like that with you.

If it’s not too late yet, you might watch a movie and cuddle on the couch. But you’ll likely both be tuckered out after today and just snuggle up in bed, ready for the next day.

And this is how Gaz’ ideal anniversary would go.

Kirishima: All good! Besides, you've been working ten days in a row, right? Good on you!

(word bubbles - Very, Very Tired)

M: Alright then, our first letter of the night...this one comes to us from BlueMackerel-san, who asks, "How did you spend your last day off?"

I'm going to lose my fucking mind

#For context: I was going to make a post complaining about how lesbians don't have enough good musical theater duets #(like we have the love songs from 'The Color Purple' which're alright but doesn't match the passion or desperation present in the book imo #'Changing My Major' which is a great love song but doesn't hit that sweet duet spot #'Dance With You' and the last verse of 'You Happened' from The Prom are sweet but the girls barely get to actually sing about each other #Honestly 'Oh Well' from Love In Hate Nation comes closest to what I want but it ends on a bittersweet note unless you see the show live #If only Elphaba and Glinda were canon... #But anyway. I can't believe that there's an adaptation of The Color Purple coming in the year of our lord 2023 and this is #how they're talking about Shug Avery. Her *role model*. Lock up your *husbands*. Ick. Pfaff. #I mean they're going to be gay. You can't get around that. But Shug is the love of her life. Can we please talk about that in the character #Don't mind me I'm just over here overreacting #From what I've read one of the biggest adaptational changes in the musical is her reaction to Shug's affair. #Like in the book Shug is the one light in her life. I sobbed myself to sleep over her nosedive in self-worth when they took a break #In the musical she's just...fine with it? I get why that's more satisfying emotionally but I still think it undermines their relationship #I don't get the curse thing either. I'm a little fuzzier on this part but in the book doesn't she just leave him and she's able to thrive? #Then when he asks her to get back together she's able to just know that the worst with Shug or alone is better than the best with him? #This book man. I hate that there isn't an adaptation as devoted to the Celie/Shug relationship as the book is. #Hate that the only recommendation I've seen calling it a sapphic book was from someone who thought that Celie's letters were to her lover #I remember watching this steamy adaptation of a Shakespeare play in soph Eng and seething because they only kiss once in the 1985 movie #Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it! #This was all to say I wast a lesbian 'Green Green Dress' a lesbian 'Home' a lesbian 'Natasha & Anatole' a lesbian Legally Blonde finale #The list goes on #I'm sure The Color Purple (2023) will be a good adaptation and movie. I will not pop blood vessels while watching it. #Maybe I should just avoid press releases and the movie will surprise me in a good way.

It’s my middle child’s 3rd birthday today 🥺

3 years ago my partner was deployed overseas and couldn’t come home for the birth because the military didn’t want to spend so much time quarantining their soldiers. Fortunately I had help as my parents were watching my son (at the time just a month shy of 2) for a few days before my due date and we had moved across the street from my partner’s parents when we found out about the deployment. So I had his mom with me at the hospital holding up her phone while we got to have a rare video call with my partner as we welcomed our daughter into the world after a very quick labor. I then had two months with our two very little kids by myself before he came home. It was an incredibly hectic time and I’m still not quite sure how I was able to get through all of that but here we are with the sweetest little 3 year old (let’s call her C) we could have asked for 🥰

C loves to play dress up and she has specific characters she’ll play as where you can’t refer to her as her name or she’ll get mad. She’s not C she’s Dr C or Baby or Baby Kitty or Princess Bucket (this was her first character and yes she does put a bucket on her head as a crown). Her favorite game to play is hide and seek and she loves dance parties and drawing and she’s obsessed with her 1 year old sister. We love C so much and I’m so excited to see how she grows and changes and learns over this next year ❤️

#personal #tonight her and her little sister are sleeping in their beds in their very own room for the first time #they’ve had their beds in my bedroom since we moved in and very often just ended up in our bed #but I’ve spent the past few days getting the room we’ve used for storage ready for them #and they’re doing really well so far #I’m sure they’ll end up in my bed again at some point but this is at least a step in the right direction #our crib that we’ve used for all 3 babies turns into a toddler bed and as I was taking it apart and putting it back together in the new room #my son started crying because he didn’t want his sisters to be big girls in their own room #he wanted me to put everything back and make the 1 year old 0 again so she could keep being a baby #I should point out that he is also obsessed with his baby sister #I told him that’s not quite how it works and kids are meant to grow up #and then he asked yet again for a baby brother because he loves babies so much and then he’d have a brother just like him 😅 #he’s very sweet but also…. that’s not happening lol #I’m slowly becoming a person again and being able to focus more time on hobbies #and my partner and I now have our room back #all of that would be reset again with another baby not to mention another year of nursing and diapers and sleepless nights…. pass lol #I’m emotional about my babies growing up but I’m also so excited to learn who they’ll become as time goes on #sorry for rambling I get sappy on their birthdays

One thing I absolutely adore is when people call inanimate objects 'she' or 'he' or 'they', especially when talking about things they hold dear.

Like someone could say "I love her so much. She whines a lot when we gotta do something, especially if it's important, but she's a good one; been with me for 10 years." and they're literally talking about their laptop or their guitar they've had since they were fifteen. They've got so much love and affection seeping out of their pores that they personify things they like and that's so beautifully human to me

#random thoughts #my mum refers to her favourite bookshelf as 'he' and anytime its gotta get fixed she starts giving it affirmations like when is it my turn #or my roommate talks about their CD player they've had since they were 12 like it's their best friend #according to my roommate his band-mates do it all the time with their instruments as well #it's all so incredibly sweet and soulful in the simplist way #little bit of a rant #sorry to all the people who follow me for Sleep Token and Phantom lol

i hope i am not only a mutual to you all but also a semianonymous benevolent presence that wishes you well when you’re online and going thru it <3

O yea therapy went pretty well actually. She gave me some resources for getting in touch with psychiatry. Also gave me some fidget toys hfkdhxj bc I kept fiddling with my own fingers and she was like "Don't worry, I got U"

She was really sweet. Also has adhd so she was super understanding. Talked me through some things. Put some things into perspective. Also talked about getting me in with a trauma-trained therapist bc lol

It went well. Feeling tentatively hopeful again

#speculation nation #bc i was there for the adhd but The Problems also exist #this was technically less therapy and more for referrals. but shes still a trained therapist #she asked me about things with my habits and why i do them. asked me if there were any traumatic things from my past #& was like 'well yknow what your drinking habit makes sense when you look at all the rest of this stuff' #my troubles with sleeping and general stress and pent up aggression & how alcohol lets me Slowww Downnn #i do love the fidget spinner she gave me. it looks like a little blue snowflake #i also got a black and white bubble pop thing. less satisfying than the fidget spinner but still cute #i own a fidget spinner now and it's bc of a sweet lady. shes so nice #aaaand now i have a bit of time before work. let's see if i can use it to write.

[softquietsteadylove]

Hi! I have a request about the Thenamesh AU :)

After the first shock when Gil lost his powers and Ajak healed his arm Gil is very much human for a short duration.

How about a little accident when someone (it can be Thena or someone else. you choose) hurts him accidentally like grabbing his arm too hard or giving him a hard pat on his back. Normally it would be nothing but being a human it’s impact would be 5 times more painful. Thena takes care of him and they share a soft moment?

I think it would be interesting since they have to be careful around the strongest eternal!

"It was an accident."

"Hm," Thena let out in acknowledgement, although it was hardly accepting of it. She wrung out the cool cloth and raised it again.

Gilgamesh sighed as she pressed the cold linen to his arm. His skin was dotted and flushed with red, where his blood vessels had burst under the skin after an impact.

He wasn't allowed outside of Babylon Temple at all in the wake of his 'injury'. Not even just in reference to his still-healing hand, but to his still-human physiology. He hadn't woken up cured, or even improved. Ajak could not heal it out of him and Phastos could find no cause, let alone a cure. He was human until further notice.

Thena hadn't left his side unless absolutely necessary. And even when it was, she would finish the fight as quickly as possible and rush back to him, daring anyone to stand in her way.

Gilgamesh let Thena move gently, trying to reduce his swelling and redness with the cool water. He got human injuries now, which received human treatments. Thena didn't trust Ajak to know what Gil's new pain threshold was after the gruesome scene of her healing his broken hand.

Ajak had stated that she knew very well how to heal humans. Thena had argued that if that was how she healed humans, then maybe they weren't the brave protectors they thought they were.

Thena was stressed, to say the least.

"Hey," Gilgamesh whispered, hoping to pull her out of her mulling. She pulled the cloth away and ran the back of her fingers over his arm. He raised his other hand, injury be damned, and placed it over hers, "hey."

Thena finally looked at him, her eyes so muddled with thoughts they almost seemed to be a different colour than normal. She sighed, "hey."

Gil smiled, although getting Thena to follow it was hard. He knew she had been nothing short of hypervigilant since his condition arose. "I'm okay."

"Are you?" she whispered in return, her eyes flicking away from his and to his hand and now his arm, too.

"Sure," he smiled, even laughed quietly. He gave her hand a squeeze with his, "I'm with you."

Thena shook her head at him, but her smile did emerge. She stood from her kneeling to sit beside him on her bed. Not even his own quarters were safe enough for him, as far as she was concerned. "You are in pain."

"Not much," he shrugged.

One friendly slap on the arm from Kingo - forgetting his strength - had sent him flying to the ground. The bruise was sure to be an ugly, angrily coloured thing. Kingo had rushed to apologise and help his brother up, of course.

Thena had rushed over, ready to snap the sharpshot's arm clean in two in return for the injury.

It had taken Makkari rushing between them as well as Sersi and Ajak both pulling at Thena to keep her from it. And ultimately, she had only left to tend to Gilgamesh.

Thena touched her forehead to his cheek, letting their breaths become one, "any pain at all is more than you deserve."

Gil smiled, leaning his head against hers. He snuck his hand away from hers, only so he could wrap his good arm around her from behind and hold her against him properly. "How could I be in pain when I have the Warrior Eternal to take care of me?"

"Gilgamesh."

"Thena, really," he insisted, pulling his head up and tilting it to pull her gaze up to his. "I'm okay."

She accepted his words, although they both knew she would still be hovering around him protectively until she had decided for herself that it was unnecessary. She took in his smile, touching her fingers ever so gently to his cheek.

Gil crossed the distance, pressing her palm flat against his cheek and leaning into it. "I won't break."

"You already have," she lamented, although she let him revel in her touch all he liked.

"Not from you," his smile grew as he happily nuzzled into her palm. "You're nice and gentle with me."

Thena tilted her head at him and his cuddling, allowing it without question. She watched him the way Sersi watched the sunrise. "I have learned from you."

"Hm?"

Thena moved, adjusting her position next to him and moving both her hands over his cheeks and to his chest. She tapped her finger against his chestplate, "you are the Gentlest Eternal. I know how to treat you softly because you are so very sweet with me."

Gilgamesh blushed, looking down at their brushing knees bashfully. "Like I could be anything else with you?"

Thena finally smiled genuinely, leaning in to kiss his cheek as firmly as they could afford. "No, nor I, you."

Gil's eyes closed, savouring the small but also immense touch of affection from her. He sighed, "maybe I should get injured more often."

"Gilgamesh."

"Okay, okay," he chuckled, returning to leaning against her. He sighed, "y'know, I'm getting really used to having you around so much."

"I am always around you."

"What if I don't want you to go on watch anymore?" he lifted his head and pouted at her, making her laugh. He wrapped both arms around her (despite the ache in his right one). "What if I just want you to stay here and cuddle me all the time, now?"

Thena indulged him, raising her hands to his cheeks again. Her thumbs brushed over the full apples of them, pushing up the tilt of his eyes, "you are deprived of my touch, are you?"

He sighed morosely and nodded, widening his eyes to give her the impression of a sad little stray.

Thena shook her head at him again. She leaned forward, needing no practice to leave the gentlest of kisses against his lips. He returned it, and perhaps in this way she could feel just a hint of his usual strength and fervour.

He leaned forward, wanting more.

"Gil," Thena pulled back, putting a hand on his chest as his tongue pursued hers. She held his eyes and shook her head.

He gave her a pout and those eyes again, "Thena."

"Gilgamesh," she pressed. "Not until you are well again."

He sighed genuinely, flopping backwards on her bed (her hand shot forward, keeping him from banging his head on the wall behind them). He chuckled, "now you really are depriving me."

She leaned over him, kissing him again even more softly than before. "Then concentrate your energy on healing, and you will be deprived of me no longer."

He leaned up again, kissing her as hard as he could. "You really know how to motivate a man."

#Thenamesh Human AU #Gilgamesh really said I will heal at the speed of light if it means I get to kiss my wife again #but really #Thena would be so protective of him #they already have that element to their relationship #if she thinks he can get hurt because of someone not thinking when they nudge him or give him a pat on the back? #she is going to be a monster until he's well again #everyone knows it too #gives her a wide berth #I think that's part of what has Gil a little mopey #everyone is so avoidant of him #partly for his own protection and partly because Thena won't let anyone anywhere near him #especially now #but he can still cuddle with her at night at least #She tried to just stay up and keep an eye on him at first #worried she could hurt him in her sleep #but as always #he lured her in with his warmth and his sweet whispers #so at least he can cuddle with her at night now

also on the topic of trying to be who he’s Supposed To Be both his main crushes read so easily as comphet. and I get it, limitations of tv, they had to establish this shit fast and that doesn’t leave a lot of space for bonding over time, but on an in-universe level it feels like he’s got a mental checklist of ✅ girl ✅ my age ✅ pretty ✅ single thing in common. like I believe that he thinks he’s in love but when you don’t have friendships to compare it to you might not realize you’re actually connecting with someone strongly as a friend.

FOR REAL… the ONE thing i will give props to tng for actually giving wes love interest his age lol (LOOKING AT JAKE!!!! LOOKING AT WHAT THEY DO TO POOR JAKE) . But they were so comphet. He’s so fucking silly… actually you know I can’t blame him for not having common interests or anything with the girls he’s with because he Doesn’t Have Interests. He literally just…. works. My man literally has 0 friends 0 prospects 0 hobbies. He puts on that gay af uniform everyday and goes to work and is subject to extreme psychological horrors and then goes home and says “Ah I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and experience the horror s !” and goes to bed. every single day. Most Repressed Thing in Existance . 10/10

#getting off track here but me and my brother were talking last night about Where He Even Lives in season 2….. #cuz we see him sleeping in his little lab once? but the other option is him just living alone in the crusher unit . WHICH IS SO FUNNY. #GOD HE’S SO MISERABLE!!!!! ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY. #it’s so funny #i did. like robin lefler a lot … but also… that was more wow it’s nice to see wesley having a positive interaction with soemone. FOR ONCE . #they were sweet tho… :) i think they could’ve stayed friends. for . well. until like 3 minutes later when first duty happens #talk #tng

selections from my one and only nightmare

#id in alt text #i could have done something more original on the second page #the first one is straight from the dream; i woke up to my clock but it was blue and not red; and then a hundred other displays blinked on #showing different times #and then i had to walk down my hallway toward the living room where #Something deeply fuckin evil was waiting for me #emanating dread and just. idk it was like a dense point of Bad #like. so dense it had a little gravity well of evil or something. i was taking my sweet time getting there because i did Not want to #encounter this thing. whatever it was. #and then when i was close to being close enough to set eyes on the thing around the corner i realize i’m not wearing the pajama pants i went #to sleep in. it’s a dream. and then i wake up and see my red digital clock display and no others at all and i just kinda lay there #idk what i did maybe that was the night i woke up from a dream and didn’t fall back asleep. i don’t know #anyway #journal painting

Thirteen

Word Count: 968

(The vibes of this are inspired by the song, “Thirteen” by Big Star. Simple and comforting.)

————————————————————————

To no one's surprise, Ava was the first person Lilly ever confided in about her identity, the first person she'd ever came out to.

Her own parents would undoubtedly become the most difficult to tell, but Ava, being the first, was difficult for her own reasons.

Both of them are thirteen years old when it happens.

Officially teenagers.

All the hormones of teenage-hood creep their way in.

Lilly's feelings for Ava burn more intensely in her heart, thanks to the hormones.

The feelings aren't a part of a childish crush anymore, they are something solid and real.

Love, strong and long-lasting.

Lilly has tried to get over Ava, to put her heart in anyone else's hands, but to no avail.

Boys, as she's quickly learned, have no appeal to her at all.

The idea of dating a boy, then marrying a man, makes her stomach churn as if she is going to throw up.

Other girls in her classes, while pretty and quite smart, do not have the same affect on her that Ava does.

They don't create the same butterflies in her stomach, they don't make her face burn up and her hands shake with nervous excitement whenever she so much as looks at them.

As time has gone on, since Ava has stolen Lilly's heart, Lilly puts the pieces together, coming to the realization that she only likes girls, possibly- definitively- only likes Ava.

She's a lesbian, plain and simple.

It's a word that's hard to say at first.

But it sounds right with time.

One weekend, both their moms drop them off at their old elementary school playground for a little while.

Lilly wants to tell Ava her revelation, she wants to tell someone.

Her best friend in the most important person to her, she wants to tell her first.

Though, telling Ava is, ironically, trickier than what telling her parents will be like, or what telling Rose and Lucas will be like.

Ava, unknowingly and to no fault of her own, sparked all of this.

By God, Lilly isn't ready to tell her how she feels, that she's in love with her.

But she is ready to tell her half of the whole story.

"Do you ever think about, y'know... people at school?" She starts awkwardly, taking a seat on one of the jungle gym's platforms, near the spinning monkey bars.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you ever think about people in a... different way than friends?"

Ava stands above Lilly, reaching forward to grab ahold of the closest monkey bar.

"No," She states, swinging herself around to face Lilly. "Do you mean the, the boys in our classes?"

Lilly grimaces, Ava doesn't understand why.

"I guess so." She sighs. "You don't think about them?"

Truth be told, Ava hasn't thought about boys at all.

Her mom often asks the light-hearted question of, "Are there any boys you think are cute?", to which Ava always shakes her head.

She has no interest in boys.

She has a few great friends and Lilly as her bestest friend in the whole-wide-world.

Ava doesn't need, or want, anyone else.

"Nope. Do you?" She asks in return.

Lilly looks at her, pushing down the nerves that are rattling around inside of her.

She gets the answer out quickly,

"No... I think about girls."

The words hit Ava's ears. a new concept she'd been vaguely aware of, but never heard of with with someone so close to her.

"That's- you- you do?" Ava asks bluntly, spinning herself around and jumping off the monkey bar, ungracefully landing on the platform next to Lilly.

She doesn't ask it in a judgmental way, she's more intrigued by it than anything.

Her lack of judgment allows Lilly to breathe calmly.

"Yeah, I do. You're the first person I've told."

"Oh, wow." Ava says. "Do you feel, um... better that you, that you told someone?"

Lilly nods, then shrugs, uncertain of herself,

"It feels weird to talk about it with someone else, but it feels good, too."

"That's good." Ava smiles at her for a moment.

Lilly smiles faintly back at her.

It feels weird and good and terrifying to be out to someone, all at the same time.

"How, how long have you known?" Ava asks.

She back-pedals as fast as she can when Lilly looks like she's seen a ghost.

"You don't have to tell me if, if you don't want to. You don't have to tell me anything, I, I won't... dig into your thoughts."

Lilly is grateful for that sentiment, that Ava won't beg for answers to her questions.

Some things can, thankfully, go unanswered.

At least for right now, while they're only thirteen years old and where Ava has just discovered the concept of two people of the same gender being in love while on the monkey bars of their old school playground.

Lilly sighs and it sounds like a faint laugh.

A sound of relief and gratitude.

"Thank you. I'm still figuring things out, it takes time."

In part, that answers Ava's question.

Lilly has known for some time and discovering that fact of her life takes time.

"I'm here if you need help figuring anything out." Ava tells her earnestly.

Lilly has a million ways she could respond to that, more than half of them would tell Ava the truth of how she learned that she doesn't like boys.

Her heart swells with joy and love, she's incredibly lucky to have a best friend like Ava.

She settles for a side-hug and the calm reply of,

"I know."

Telling Ava is the first time she'll have to explain things to people, to explain it to her parents and tells her friends about it.

But she feels hopeful, now more than ever.
