Hey there! Here's this little thing that turned into a big thing because I really want to post some writing but I always get hit with a roadblock whenever I try to work on one of my WIPs 🤣 So why not create something new!... for like the 15th time (literally) 👀🤣 LOL If you're seeing this then that means we dodged the WIP graveyard collection this time! 🤣 Anywayssss enjoy lol XD
"Wow, Ren! This prototype looks so amazing! Is this what you've been spending all your time on?"
"Yup. Just oneeee moreeee screw annnnd--" As he tightened the last screw, the robot made a few beeping sounds and immediately lit up with life. They both cheered with excitement as the robot immediately began to clumsily move around the room, curiosity at its peak as it began scanning whatever objects it could get it's hands on.
"I can't believe it! You've actually done it Ren!" His best friend Koji erupted, unable to contain himself as he lifted one of the robots arms and examined its face. "... It's almost freaky how life-like this thing is."
"We both did it, Koji. You helped a lot too." The roboticist exhaustedly muttered, nearly throwing himself into his chair and watching the robot curiously scan all of Koji's features.
"Well you've gotta name this thing! It's too cool to just be called prototype!"
"Hmm... PTBot A!" Ren called, having the robot make a beeping sound and quickly rush over to him. "Register new name... Ava. Ava, the Advanced Versatile Assistant."
The robot froze for a moment, processing the request before saying. "Hello. I am Ava, the Advanced Versatile Assistant, but you may call me Ava."
"Oooh, I like it! Sounds... Cute and techy... I guess? What can she do?"
"Well as of right now, learn. Her processor is still trying to finish downloading all of her basic functions and knowledge, but once that finishes, I'll start importing her advanced coding and she should be able to do just about everything we can and more. Fingers crossed."
His best friend leaned against the wall in awe, still surprised at the artificial robot roaming around the room. Although her movements were slightly choppy and robotic, she seemed to be functioning on her own accord, grabbing a variety of objects and curiously moving them around and identifying them.
"I can only imagine how she'll look like once the downloads are finished." Koji muttered.
"If all goes well, her movements should smoothen out and her biocomponents would be in more of a working order. Faster processing and all that." Ren rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking at his watch to check the time.
"Stop saying 'if', bro. You know it's gonna work! I mean just look at how great she is already!"
"... We'll see. But thanks, Koji." He mumbled through another exhausted yawn, "It's like 6 in the morning dude, I need to sleep. I know you've had some good rest but I can't be your only source of entertainment all day."
"Oh, ha-ha, very funny. You think that just because you made a bomb ass robot you're hot shit now? I knew you in middle school, you know. Don't forget that." Koji teased.
"... Ava, escort the crews dead weight out of my lab and to his office, please."
"Understood." Ava blandly responded, approaching Koji and gesturing towards the door. "Dead weight, if you could please exit the quarters, your services are no longer needed."
"Stop it, dude! She's going to remember that and actually think that's true about me!"
"That's the point." Ren said through a soft chuckle as he watched Ava guide him out of the room.
"Don't listen to him, Ava! He's lying! I'm technically your co-creator! He's the dead weight, not me!"
"I'm sorry that you feel that way, dead weight. According to my records, your office is down this hall. Allow me to escort you."
"Urrgh, finneeee."
Ren released another soft chuckle as he closed the lab door, hearing their voices disappear down the hallway.
He was so glad that Koji had so much confidence in his work, but he couldn't say the same about himself. He just hoped that he built Ava properly and that everything would all work out just as he planned for it to. Only time would tell. Ren sighed, removing his lab coat and pressed the blue button on his wall, revealing a hidden temporary bedroom. Boy was he tired; 8 months of nonstop working on Ava took a lot out of him, but it was well worth it. He'd do it all over again if he needed to.
The man hung his lab coat on the railing above his bed and immediately plopped onto the firm mattress, grunting with a little discomfort. He couldn't complain though; He was super tired and just grateful he even had somewhere to lay at the moment. Before he could attempt to close his eyes, two soft knocks against his lab door are heard, followed by Ava's voice.
"May I come in?"
"Enter, Ava."
The robot obliged, entering the room and immediately scanning her creator laying on the mattress. She looked around his temporary bedroom for a moment before speaking.
"The dead weight has been escorted into his office."
"Thanks Ava... You don't have to call him that anymore. His name is Koji." Ren lightheartedly chuckled again.
"... Okay Ren, current data has been corrected to Koji... If you don't mind, might I ask what is so humorous?" Ava innocently asked, eyes locked onto Ren as his chuckles abruptly stopped once she asked the question.
"... I'll explain it to you another time." He exhaustedly muttered, already feeling his brain fog up from just thinking about explaining it to her. After an intense moment, Ava dejectedly nodded in understanding and began looking at all the pictures he had on his shelves in order to get some more information about her creator. "... Ava, I'm very tired and need to sleep. Turn off the lights, please."
"Of course, Ren. I'll do that for you right away." She gave her automated response, and quickly turned off all the lights in his lab, watching as he flipped sides and pulled his blanket over his head. "... What would you like me to do in the meantime, Ren?" She blandly asked, staring at the lump underneath the blanket.
"I don't know- keep scanning stuff in the lab or something." He softly mumbled, voice barely audible through both the blanket and his exhaustion.
"I've already scanned and identified all 374 objects in your lab, Ren. What else would you like for me to do?"
"... Just... do whatever, I don't care. Let me sleep." He sighed, irritably shifting underneath the blankets. "If anyone tries to come in, tell them to come back next week."
"Understood Ren." She affirmed, turning to leave the bedroom. Before she completely walked away, she froze and turned back to her creator. "Ren...?"
"... What is it now, Ava?"
"... Is it true that you hated artificial intelligence and robotics in middle school?" She inquired, hearing Ren sigh from the mattress.
"... Ava, register Koji's name to Dead Weight again, please." She froze for a moment before confirming the successful change. "And to answer your question... Yes, it's true, but that was over 15 years ago. I was a stupid kid."
"... Okay. Goodnight, Ren."
"Goodnight, Ava."
The sunlight peering in from underneath the closed blinds rudely awakens the once sleeping robotics engineer. He flops the blanket all the way to the other side of his bed and gives a big yawn to shake off all the sleep, almost sounding like a lions roar. A cough escapes him as his throat is dry and a little itchy from all the sleep.
"Good afternoon, Ren. I hope you slept well." Ava approaches his bedside with a smile and a glass of water, which surprises the roboticist. He almost forgot about Ava and her completion; It wasn't a dream, and her downloads must've progressed, seeing how she was able to smile now and read his discomfort by grabbing him some water.
"Thank you." He muttered dryly, immediately drinking the water down. "Ava, what is today's date please?"
"Today is Friday, September 8th. Current time is 4:27pm." She recited, grabbing the empty glass and placing it in the sink. It's already Friday? But it was just Wednesday! "You were sleeping for quite a while, so I took it upon myself to tidy up your lab. I hope you don't mind, given your last command was to 'do whatever, I don't care.'"
"... That was very thoughtful of you, Ava. Thanks." Ren applauded her through a few dry coughs, still finding it difficult to speak for long without the itchiness returning at the back of his throat.
"Would you like another glass of water?" Ava offered, noting his continued discomfort.
"No, thank you." The roboticist grabbed his lab coat from above his bed and pressed the button, hiding his bedroom once again and headed into his restroom to freshen himself up.
"I would like to inform you that 30 associates stopped by your lab while you were sleeping, including dead weight." Ava announced from the outside of the door, over the sound of splashing water. "A lot of them wanted to congratulate you for completing me." She said a little louder this time, smiling when Ren opened the restroom door and halted in shock from seeing her standing so close to the door. "I told them to come back next week, just like you asked."
"Thank you, Ava. Hey... are you able to cook by chance? I'm not sure how far along the first stage of downloads are..." Ava's face lit up at the asking of that question.
"Certainly, Ren! The download of Phase 1 is currently at 67%. Please let me know what you would like to eat and I would be happy to make it for you." Ren stood in thought for a moment, feeling uneasy with how fast the download speed was going. I mean it was a lot of data to download, but at the same time... This is only Phase 1... If it's taking this long, then Phase 2 might-- "Please do not trouble yourself, I am confident that I can prepare any dish that you would like. My memory bank holds over 30,000 recipes from around the world. So please..." She stated, attempting to reassure Ren and pull him out of his own thoughts.
"Well alright then, Ava. You've won me over. I'm a simple man so I just want an omelet over sweet rice. I should already have those ingredients in my cabinets." He mused, finding it interesting how much Ava was trying to read him.
"Yes, you have enough ingredients in your possession to make 132 of the 30,000 recipes stored in my memory bank. You should look into getting more groceries, Ren."
"I don't live here so it's fine." He chuckled, grabbing a seat at his office desk and watching Ava begin to prep his meal. She was moving more like a human now; she even hummed softly as she cooked, which made him feel a little warm on the inside, oddly enough. "Ava, why are you humming?" Ren questioned, curiously. If that was the one thing they had in common, they were both curious creatures. She paused for a moment for what Ren thought was to process the question and shortly resumed her cooking.
"According to my records, humming reduces stress. Does it bother you Ren? I will stop."
"No-no, it doesn't. I was just wondering. Please, continue..." He muttered, intrigued. "Sarabande and Polka... Great choice."
"Yes, I read that it's your favorite." She cheerfully chimed, plating the side of sweet rice. "I hummed it to you while you were sleeping. You kept tossing and turning so I thought it would help."
"How thoughtful of you, Ava." Ren acknowledged, unsure of how to feel with that information. "... Maybe that's the reason why I slept for so long."
Surprisingly, Ava gives a chuckle to the latter statement as she plated the omelet on top of the sweet rice and handed him the plate. Ren looks up at her, shocked by her giggle only to find her smiling and glaring down at him, gesturing towards the plate. "Please enjoy, Ren. I will go and clean up."
The roboticist nodded and thanked her as he looked at the beautiful golden omelet resting on top of the fluffy bed of rice. He had to admit... it did look really good. Probably better than anything he ever made. But then again, he wasn't a chef but even so, this was still remarkable for a robot that was only a day old. Ren immediately took a bite out of the omelet and smiled, both surprised and grateful at how good the food was.
"This is amazing, Ava. I couldn't be happier." He openly admitted, earning a huge smile from his robot.
"I am pleased to have served you!" She announced with a bow, face glowing with honor.
The food was hitting the spot; after sleeping for a day and a half, his body was nearly eating itself. Another hour of that and he probably would've been a pile of bones. Had Ava not been there, he probably wouldn't have had the energy to even make this meal. After a few minutes of scarfing down the plate of food, he felt a little bit recovered and energized. He handed Ava the empty dish, which she gratefully accepted and began to wash.
"What's on the agenda today, Ren?" She asked, still washing out the dishes.
"I'm not sure..." He absently replied, deep in thought. "I'll probably chat with a few people and head home. Afterall, you are my biggest achievement at the moment. I'll probably look after you and make sure all of your systems are functioning properly. Probably monitor all the downloads and keep a close eye on how you're operating for--" He paused for a moment, taken aback by the prickling sensation he feels quickly forming in the depths of his nostrils. It only takes one dry sniff to ignite the prickling into a full fledged wild fire as it forces his shoulders to rise upward from the abrupt inhale and jerk forwards with a harsh sneeze.
"Hih... H'ESSCH!" It was a snappy and a little wet sneeze, seeing how it felt like his nostrils were drooling over the burning sensation pulsing deep in his nostrils. His robot companion immediately swiveled a 180 towards the location of the sound, interest piqued and attention grabbed. She curiously watched as he rubbed at his nose and quickly searched around for something but appeared to have no luck. "A-Ava..." He desperately stuttered out, eyes closing once again from the distracting tickle. She approached him with haste, audio censors listening for his voice command. "I n-need ahh... a-HIH'EGSHHhn...!! A dissue, blease." She was frozen for a second, trying to process and compute the last command given by her creator.
"I do not understand. What is... 'a dissue'?" Ava innocently asked, attempting to repeat his audibly congested plea for a tissue in her query and trying to understand.
"A tdissue!" Ren tried to repeat through his cupped hand, a little louder this time, hoping to sound a little clearer, but he's sure he failed as he could still see the confusion on her face.
"I'm sorry, Ren. I still do not understand your request, but I see that you are cupping your nose. Perhaps you need a tissue?" He gratefully nodded his head, watching her go into the restroom and grab the tissue box. Once she returned, he eagerly blew his nose, releasing a few small gurgling nose blows into the tissues. "I apologize for the miscommunication. I should've known that's what you were asking for sooner."
"That's okay." He breathily mumbled, still massaging his nose with the tissues. "I just didn't know you moved the tissues either, but it's fine."
"Hm." She folded her arms and tapped her cheek in thought for a moment. "Were those sneezes, Ren?"
"... Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Bless you, Ren. I will be prepared next time. Thank you." She muttered, grabbing a handful of tissues and shoving them into her front pocket.
"N-no that's not necessary! You don't have to do that." He sheepishly replied, but Ava had already returned back to cleaning the dishes and was already humming again. "... Once you're finished cleaning those dishes, we can head out. How does that sound?"
"That sounds great, Ren." Ava cheered as she placed the last dish onto the countertop.
--
"Ava, lock the door please." Ren muttered, still trying to fit all of his modems and drives into his bag.
"Of course." She affirmed, grinning as she locked the door and returned to her creator. "Would you like for me to carry your bag for you, Ren?"
"Sure, thank you." The roboticist agreed, zipping up one last zipper to his bag before seeing the shoes of Koji appear directly in front of him.
"There he is!" Koji announced, looking his best friend up and down. "I would've thought you died had I not known who you are." He chuckled.
"Shut up, I was tired okay? Like, really tired." Ren muttered with a chuckle, placing his bag onto Ava.
"Guess that explains why you're making a girl carry your bag for you? Not a good look man."
"Hey, she offered!" Ren erupted defensively, coughing afterwards from the sudden change in volume of his voice.
"Everything is fine, dead weight. Please do not concern yourself with our affairs." She stated blandly, looking to Ren shortly after to make sure he was okay.
"Hey, I told you I'm not dead weight around here! Why won't you listen to me!" He sounded more like he was whining and begging Ava at this point but she wasn't budging.
"Hey, if you stumble across any crew members, tell them we said thanks for all of the congratulations. It means a lot."
"For sure, dude. Don't worry. How's Ava's progress coming along? It looks like she's matured a lot since Wednesday."
"Everything's going well so far. My only concern is that thehh-hih..." Ava glares at her creator and notices his flaring nostrils and immediately begins to dig into her pocket for the tissues that she grabbed earlier. Another faint hitch escapes him but before he can double over with the sneeze, Ava shoves a handful of tissues into his hands. "Heh--EDSSCHh!!" He blinks a few times, surprised by the whole ordeal, but before he can even say anything--"Heh'ESCHHiih!!"-- The next sneeze tears right out of him and is buried into the handful of tissues.
"Woah, bless you dude! That whole thing was so smooth. It almost looked like this has happened before."
"T-thagks... She saihh... S-she-hihh'EGDTSHH!!!" He can't even speak his sentence as the third sneeze cuts him off and he's sent back into the handful of tissues.
"Bless you, Ren. I told you that I would be prepared for next time."
"Yes, that." He exhaustedly agreed, gurgling into the handful of tissues a few times.
"Holy shit! I guess Ava really is Ava-ing!" Koji humored, watching Ava take his soiled tissues and throw them into the trashcan.
"I just hope the download finishes soon. She's still only on Phase 1."
"Hey, what'd I tell you about stressin' so much? Ava, you better keep my man in line!" Ava only gave him in a confused look in return. "I'm sure it'll all work out. Just believe, man!"
"... You're right. I'll see you around. Gonna go home and take my mind off things for now, I guess." He muttered, scratching his head and starting for the door.
"Woah, hey! We need to celebrate your big achievement!" Koji exclaimed, darting in front of him to stop him. "You can't go home yet! Let's go to the bar or get something to eat!"
"Nah, no thanks. I just ate and I'm honestly just not feelin' it today, sorry."
"Alright, don't worry about it. Text me later bro! And congrats again!"
After that, Koji left them to return to his office and the two began to silently walk outside towards his car. Ava seemed enlightened at the view of nature in front of the lab. It was refreshing for Ren to see her face light up at the smallest things he and everyone probably took for granted.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" The roboticist muttered as he placed his bag into the vehicle.
"Very. It's one thing to see it as an imprinted image, but another to see it up close in realtime." She said as she touched the dirt and began analyzing it. "If only you could see all of the tiny organisms living inside just this one clump of dirt!" She grabbed a fist full of dirt and began squishing it in the palm of her hand, looking so fascinated and entertained. She would've been completely intranced had Ren not coughed into the crook of his elbow. "Oh! I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting?" She exclaimed after noticing Ren standing by the open car door watching her.
"No-no, not at all." He barely managed to say through a few more chesty coughs, which earned a mildly concerned look from Ava. "I don't mind waiting. This is your first moment outside, so don't let me ruin it." He humored.
"Thank you, Ren. We can go now. I know your body must be worn." She couldn't help but smile at what she perceived as selflessness from her creator as she was helped into the vehicle. "... Ren?"
"Yes, Ava?"
"... I'm glad you turned down dead weight's offer." She muttered softly into the window, almost soft enough to not be heard, which earned a curious look from Ren.
"Why is that?" He lightly coughed to himself after cranking the car on and exiting the parking lot.
"I don't like dead weight." The way she said that line made Ren do a double take to look at her and make sure she was still a robot girl. It sounded a bit too human-like. "But also because we will have more time to spend together. More time for me to learn from you."
"... Well, Ava, I don't want you to think that I'm the only person you can learn from. There's so much for you to learn outside of just me. I built you to be versatile. Eventually, you'll be surrounded by all sorts of amazing people that you'll learn a lot from. Including dead weight Koji." She doesn't respond, keeping her expression blank and unreadable. "... But please, don't dismiss Koji yet. He's actually a great guy once you get to know him a little better." He mutters to break the silence. "Infact, he was the one that got me back into robotics those years ago. Without him, we wouldn't even be here right now."
"... Okay. You're the best teacher, Ren."
--
"What a lovely house, Ren!" She exclaimed, scanning the entire room around her.
"I know, it's almost like I programmed you to say that." He humored to himself as he locked the door and kicked his shoes off. "I haven't been here in about a month so please excuse the mess." He stopped to wonder for a moment, finding it interesting that he was actually starting to talk to Ava as if she were a real human being. Why would a robot care about a mess or anything like that? He sighed and grabbed his head with slight confusion on what to even think anymore. "Anyway, just go ahead and make yourself at home or whatever. I'm going to take a quick shower."
"Okay, Ren!" She exclaimed, still scanning all of his belongings like a child opening presents on Christmas morning.
She felt like she hit a gold mine with all of his belongings scattered about the home. Everywhere she looked, there were new traces of his life and character; his lab was just a sneak peak of the person that was Ren Tokayama. He had many diplomas, awards and ribbons hanging on all of his living room walls. Plenty of framed group photos of him and what appeared to be his crewmates winning awards for previous machines and gadgets they built. It really was like she had a VIP pass to the Ren museum. She decides to utilize this time to tidy up his house, or atleast get started, while he's in the shower, scanning every item she touched while she cleaned.
A few moments later, she hears the bedroom door open and sees Ren enter the room with a fluffy robe on, still drying his hair with a towel and yawning briefly. His yawn is cut short as he jumps in surprise at the sight of Ava, almost forgetting that she was inside of his house.
"Oh, you startled me, Ava." Ren says, hand over his heart in shock.
"Welcome back, Ren. I didn't mean to startle you. hope that you are feeling refreshed." Ava happily chimed, placing a book and fresh hot tea onto the table for her creator. "I've prepared your favorite book and some green tea to help you relax and sooth your irritated throat."
"I appreciate it, Ava. How did you come to the conclusion that this was my favorite book?"
"I looked through all of your bookcases while you were in the shower, and this book had the most of your fingerprints on it and seemed to have the most usage... Was I incorrect?"
"No, you were correct, but... You could've just asked me what my favorite book was. I didn't want you to go through all the trouble."
"It's no trouble." She chimed, "I enjoyed it. I felt like... I was going on an adventure." Ren furrowed a confused brow, but decides not to say anything and takes a sip of the tea after putting on his reading glasses. It did feel nice against his itchy throat though, that was for sure. He couldn't help but go back for a second sip.
"How are you functioning, Ava? Status check." The roboticist questioned as he flipped open his book.
"All systems are online and functioning, Ren. Battery percentage is at 72%, with 3.25 days of runtime remaining. Filters are moderately clear. Internal temperatures are neutral." She recited, almost in a dismissive tone.
"Good, thank you. Be sure to let me know if anything happens with any of your systems." He commanded, almost like a protective father.
"Of course, Ren."
Every now and then, Ren peered up from his book only to catch Ava staring at him from across the table, fingers overlapping each other as if she were patiently waiting for something. He tried to ignore her, but it was becoming increasingly difficult as her cold, unmoving stare was beginning to burn a hole into the middle of his forehead. The roboticist snuffled thickly, wiping the underside of his nose and instantly furrowed a confused brow once Ava's eyes went blank like they usually did when she was processing information.
"Umm, Ava?"
"Yes, Ren?" She replied shortly after, pink eyes staring directly into his soft brown orbs, unblinking.
"Why are you staring at me?" The roboticist asked, feeling a bit uneasy with the unbroken staring she had been doing for the past 20 minutes.
"According to my records, you will be sneezing soon, and whenever that happens, I will be ready to assist you."
"That's nonsense, Ava." Ren said through a soft chuckle, with a bit of surprise in his voice from the reasoning. "And just where did you gather that data from, missy?" He humored.
"Research." She replied, simply, borderline pouting, "And studying you, Ren."
"Fascinating." He muttered to himself in thought, "Well tell me, Ava, what data have you gathered about me that will tell you when I'm going to sneeze, hm? Humor me." Ava seemed to light up at the curiosity of her creator and smiled when he casually removed his reading glasses and sat his book down onto the table. "You have my attention."
"I'm glad you asked, Ren. Based off of my observations, firstly, your nose begins to vaguely twitch ever so slightly, indicating a soft irritation. It's very subtle and slight to the human eye, but my visual processors allow me to detect this microscopic movement. To you, I believe it would only feel like a mild discomfort, or perhaps a very faint tingling?" She was speaking almost as if she were unveiling a master plan or exposing an enemy mastermind of some sort; Ren almost bats an eye at how passionate she was about the subject. It seemed like she had something to prove. "After a while, depending on the dust levels in the area, the irritation begins to grow over time into the tickling or burning sensation that you start to tangibly feel, which might make you start to rub at your nose or sniff a little bit."
"Hmm, okay, fairly normal assessments for the most part. Go on." The roboticist muttered in a manner that indicated he was listening through a brief cough into a closed fist.
"At this point, I'm aware that you have about a 92% chance of sneezing due to your underlying illness."
"Underlying illness??? Wait, what?"
"Yes," she stated matter-of-factly with a hint of surprise as if she were shocked that he didn't know, "I did a data analysis scan on the used tissues in your lab from earlier today, which tested positive for Influenza A. Furthermore, I've noted that your body involuntarily pauses when you are on the brink of a sneeze, followed by your broken breaths, the initial inhale, and, of course, the exhale of the sneeze. The confirming giveaway that you are officially going to sneeze is the sharp tremble your nose does before your nostrils flare up." She paused for a moment in thought, staring blankly for a moment before approaching his side and handing him a light stack of tissues, "In this instance, though, I gather that you will sneeze approximately 3 times within the next... minute or so." Ren was silent for a couple of seconds, unable to configure a response to her analysis. He didn't expect her to read a whole detailed essay just about his sneezing habits.
"Simply astonishing." He finally blurted out, fairly impressed with her deep analysis and already beginning to feel his sinuses start to tingle a bit harsher than before, just as Ava had predicted. "So this is what you were working on when you were staring at me got do long?" He breathily asked, finding it increasingly difficult to keep his eyes open. "I will admit... My n-nose is startinghh t-togehhIH--" He froze for a moment, eyes finally shutting before he immediately jerked to the side with a spine chilling sneeze directed into the tissues. "--HEH'EGDJISH'iu!!!" The sneeze nearly rips out of him, almost catching him off guard with the quickness of it as he was still thinking about everything Ava had said, wondering if it all actually applied. He laughed internally at himself a little as he felt his nostrils tremble and flare up just as Ava had said before, immediately bending over with another-- "H'EKSSCH...!! Wow." The roboticist exhaustedly blew his nose, briefly with his eyes still closed and his breaths scattered. "I h-had ndo idea thht... y-youhh-hIH--"
"--Are so observant?--" She quickly reached for a few more tissues, noting his twitching nostrils and subtle grimace, immediately handing them to him once his chest bounced again.
"--AH'KSSHHN!! Hihh... Y-yes." He mumbled, massaging his nose through the handful of tissues.
"Bless you, Ren." She smiled, taking joy in the surprise on Ren's face. "You created me to be."
TBC...
How knows, if I'm feeling kinda sussybaka I might make a part 2 lol

Arcane Women and their S/O at a Haunted House
Tumblr media
..........yea I gave up on studying anywayssssss
TW: Gatekeeping, Gaslighting and Girlbossing
Gender Neutral! Reader
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Г Vi |
- Was actually the one who suggested that you guys try out the Haunted House. You weren’t so keen on the idea though. I mean running through a dim, musty room with people in costumes, grabbing and screaming at you wasn't exactly your ideal carnival date, but it was apart of Vi's. So being the amazing partner you are, you agreed.
- She could hear the reluctance in your answer. But don't worry, she vowed to protect you, and if you ever needed a strong bicep to grab onto....she's your girl.
- Wellllll what she vowed didn't translate well into what actually happened. Don't get me wrong, she DID protect you and you did have a strong bicep holding you up, buttttttt not in the way you imagined.
- Vi thought the best strategy was to throw you over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and sprint through the house, ducking and dodging mfs that popped up randomly, and screaming her head off XD
- " (Y/N)?! You ok? Don't worry, we are almost at the end and I got you so- AAAAAHHHH BACK UP! BACK UP! DON'T MAKE ME PUNCH YOU THROUGH THAT WOLF HEAD!" (god you love this woman so much)
- The only thought you had through the whole ordeal was, "Why the hell would you suggest the damn haunted house knowing damn well you couldn't handle it?"
- When she finally let you down, you gave her the hardest death stare you could muster. When she saw your face, she knew she messed up. She felt bad for carrying around like a rag doll and also possibly threatening some of the workers too.
- "Hey (Y/N), I-I'm sorry about that whole thing. I just wanted to kinda show off a bit in front of you, but seems like I just messed that up. I'll make it up to you though, ummm we can go on any ride you want now. How about the ferri-" *Mwah*
- Staying mad at Vi is almost impossible for you. Watching her stutter and scratch at her neck trying to explain. She knew she messed up and let her pride get to her a bit, but when she pouted at you, you couldn't hold it.
- You just leaned in and gave her the biggest kiss on the cheek. You pulled away giggling and telling her that as the best ride you've been on, and you didn't mind being handled like a ragdoll. Plus the conductor was kinda cute too.
Г Sevika |
- You were the perpetrator in this one. You practically begged Sevika to go in with you. She told you to forget it since she knows that you are a scaredy cat and will just be screaming and grabbing onto her the entire time (not that she really minds that though)
- You kept on begging knowing that when Sevika had her mind made up, it's almost impossible to get her to change her decision. But you knew one guaranteed way to get her to agree.....exploit her ego (Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss your way into that haunted house)
- "Ok Sev, we can skip this ride, I guess. I understand that you're scared of haunted houses and wanna settle for something moreeee "tamed" like hmmmm the teacup ride :)))"
- The moment she deadpanned at you, you knew you got her right where you wanted her. Next thing you knew, you guys were both in the waiting line.
- The haunted house wasn't soooooo bad. Let's ignore that fact that Sevika was right about you screaming your head off and clinging to her like your life depended on it :))) Sevika was exactly as you imagine, just chill. She treated like it was nothing, well granted being from the Undercity, she's seen worse, trust me.
- The best part of the ride for you was when one of the guys in a zombie costume tried to make a grab at you but then was met with one of Sevika's famous death glares, then immediately backed up and tripped over some props (definitely a core memory for you)
- After the ride, she could see you were still trying to calm down after nearly ten minutes of full on screaming your lungs out. Her heart broke a little when she was you trying to secretly wipe tears from your eyes and quiet your sniffles.
- She pulled you by the waist so you could snuggle your face into her side. "Hey- how bout we go to that booth over there and see how many stuffed animals I can win you? And if it's rigged- we can see how fast I can get the vendor to shit his pants like the wolf dude?"
- When she heard you giggle, her worry cleared a bit. You guys spent the rest of your carnival date shaking down vendors and stuffing your faces with all kinds of food.
- Well the face stuffing was more a "you" activity. Sev just watch in awe and slight fear as you threw back 2 corndogs and a large popcorn in under five minutes.
Г Grayson |
- Like Sevika, not a fan of haunted houses, plus she thinks they are a waste of carnival tickets since most of them (if not all of them) aren't scary. But does that make a difference to you? Nopeeee :)))
- But unlike Sevika, convincing Grayson wasn't thatttt hard, you had a formula to this by now. First, tell her what you want, if she refuses, up the stakes with body contact. Preferably an arm clutch, neck hold or your personal favorite, the neck tuck (basically tuck your head into her neck). And always the cherry on top....the puppy dog eyes. You knew once you unleashed this combo, you had it in the bag.
- And soon as you know it, your gripping onto Grayson's sleeve and ducking behind her every time someone jumped out at you guys.
- Grayson being the calm, cool and collect woman she is, just guided you through the ride even giving you little encouraging remarks here and there.
- "I'm right here darling, no need to rip my sleeves off. We are almost at the e- Sir. I know you're doing your job right now but can't you see my partner and I are having a moment? Thank you. Now where was I love?" (The workers are going thru it)
- She would chuckle every now and then at your reactions. She couldn't help it. She wasn't trying to make fun of you, it's just the way you clinged to her and ran to hide behind her or in her arms was too adorable.
- You definitely got some kisses with cotton candy on the side after this :)))
Г Caitlyn |
- She was the one who pulled up into the line for the haunted house. She's raved about how she has always wanted to try them out. Her mother didn't really allow her to go in the haunted house when the carnival came, cause she was worried Caitlyn couldn't handle it.....and she was right.
- You don't know who was screaming louder, you or your girlfriend who had her hands in front of her face the entire time.
- You had to hold onto her and guide her through the ride, even though she would jump up at the slightest sound. She was so jumpy to the point where she almost kicked a worker in the face.
- They had jumped from behind the wall and landed directly in front of Caitlyn with a fake chainsaw in hand. It was almost like an involuntary reaction when her leg flew up merely centimeters from the worker's face.
- At the end of the ride it was as if a switch was turned on and she just changed back to cool and collected Kiraman.
- "Well that was certainly thrilling, was it? Now let's go find another ride preferably something less.....haunted house-ish?"
- She did her best to make it seem like she wasn't shitting her pants five minutes ago. But if you held her hand you could feel her shaking (Poor babyyy :((( ). You pressed the back of her hand to your lips and gave her a reassuring smile. She bent down a bit and gave you a "thank you" kiss on the forehead.
Tumblr media
Something about putting Caitlyn in pink makes me feel like I broke some unspoken law :\

Part 1 Here! / Part 2 Here! / Part 3 Here! / Part 4 Here! / Part 5 Here! / Part 6 Here! / Part 7 Here! / Part 8 Here! / Part 9 Here! / Part 10 Here!
A/N: I apologize for all the profanity in this part ahead of time. I think I’m going to do M/W/Sat updates, as long as my writing permits, and then maybe Wed/Sat updates. I got the day off because it snowed so I thought I would post this since it’s ready haha
* Well you’re royally f*cked
* There’s a big stupid smile curled on your face, and every time you try to hide it, it just comes back wider
* You really shouldn’t be happy right now
* “What has you in such a good mood?” Edward’s got a matching smile of his own.
* Oh shit. It’s fine, you’ll just play dumb.
* “How do you know I’m happy?” How about the dumb grin you’ve got on your face you stupid b*tch.
* You would have smacked your own forehead if you weren’t aware Edward was watching your every move
* You’re lucky Edward’s nice and he doesn’t call you out on it
* “Whenever you’re happy it kind of radiates off of you,” his voice lowers “you know because of your powers”
* Ah, you didn’t know you did that
* “So what do you think about the new girl?” You blurt it out like it’s an intrusive thought
* F*ck. Just-okay just play it cool. Play it cool.
* F********ckkkkk what’s wrong with you.
* Is being happy making you act like a moron?
* He shrugs
* “Just another human, I kind of wish everyone would shut up about it though. Having to hear people talk about her and think about her is getting annoying. It’s like being in a tunnel with one too many echoes.”
* Ah, so he hasn’t noticed yet.
* “I wonder what she’s thinking about.”
* Edward just shrugs again.
* What the f*ck Edward take a hint!
* “Edward?”
* “Yes dear?” He has the nerve to grin after using that pet name. The criminal is teasing you. Some best friend.
* And still it makes you outrageously happy
* You have to force your smile into a straight line
* “What’s the new girl thinking?”
* He looks over to her, Tyler and Mike are fighting for her attention, both of them a moment away from tugging on each arm and shouting “mine!”
* You see him search, you’ve heard enough about his powers to know right now it’s like mall food court level of chatter for him, but in a few seconds he’ll focus on her and realize he can’t hear her thoughts.
* Knowing how prideful he is though, he’ll probably deny it.
* “I don’t know I can’t read her mind” he says bluntly. “Do you think the school music teacher would teach me how to play violin if I asked?”
* “What?!?”
* “I know it’s kind of inconsiderate to ask but-“ you click your tongue
* “No not that!” You gesture towards Bella “you can’t read her mind?!? Isn’t that kind of a big deal?”
* His eyebrows thread together
* “I can’t read your mind either”
* Yes but you’re from a completely different world, in a body that radiates despair (and apparently joy now). You’re basically like some type of eldritch being from another dimension. 
* Edward doesn’t see it that though
* “Honestly it’s a relief, one less mind I have to tune out.” He walks ahead of you as you stay motionless in the middle of the hallway
* What the f*ck is happening?
* “Are you coming? We’re going to be late for Biology if you keep lagging behind like that.”
* How could you forget? The whole story starts because Edward is super into Bella’s blood! He fantasizes killing her for like- the entire class period.
* You were worried for nothing, just because they didn’t have the cafeteria moment isn’t that big of a deal
* The thought makes you both relieved and a little sad
* Still it’s for the best, this is the way things are supposed to be
* And who knows, if you have to leave maybe you can poach Rosalie and Emmett to leave with you
* And maybe Jasper, he won’t like having a human around the house all the time
* “Mr. Cullen, Ms. Eleazar” Mr. Banner hands you each a worksheet.
* Oh right the onion cell worksheet. Ah right the mitosis crap. Well hopefully Mike remembers enough that you both can hobble through
* “New year means new seating arrangement!” He tells you both excitedly. The seating arrangements on the projector.
* “Why am I next to Edward isn’t the seating arrangement supposed to be alphabetical?”
* “I decided to go by grade this time, you should be happy! Aren’t you two...friends?” You can tell your teacher is confused by the nature of your relationship, almost as much as you are. 
* “Super happy Teach.” You mumble taking your seat next to Edward who’s grinning like an idiot
* “You can’t say he’s picking favorites when it’s merit based.” He grins and you roll your eyes
* Angela’s sitting next to Ben Cheney, they seem to be discussing the trigonometry homework, and how it’s basically impossible
* Oh right, he’s supposed to be her boyfriend this year. 
* Personally you think Angela could do way better. But love is blind, you’ll ship it if you have to. 
* And right on cue Mike walks in, Bella following close behind. He takes his seat on the table behind you while Bella talks to Mr. Barnes
* “Why didn’t you guys sit with us at lunch today?” Mike is practically leaned over the entire width of the table.
* Before you can say anything Edward snorts
* “Because (Y/N) was getting lectured for staying out all night again”
* Mike looks like his eyes might pop out of his head
* “W-what? Out all night?! Without inviting me!” You roll your eyes.
* “He’s making it more dramatic, I went out for a run early in the morning because I couldn’t sleep and everyone was freaking out because they thought I got kidnapped.”
* Like any vampire or human stood a chance against you and your violent mood swings
* Mike’s so caught up in lecturing you about how you need to be more careful
* “There’s a lot of weirdos out there!” Yeah you live with them
* That he doesn’t even notice Bella’s taken a seat next to him
* Now that you get a better look at her, she is kinda pretty. She’s the kind of person who probably always looks good in photographs, no matter what the angle. Nice cheekbones and big brown eyes. Modest on boobs and butt, but she’s skinny so it works for her.
* “Hey, you’re Bella right?” You give her your friendliest smile, and you don’t miss the light blush that blooms on her face.
* You’re not sure whether it’s from your beauty or because she’s just not used to so much attention. She just nods.
* “Have you already seen the three whole things there are to do in Town on a Friday night?”
* Bella actually laughs at that. She’s got dimples, and little wrinkles that show up at the corner of her eyes. It’s cute.
* “One of those things is going to the library, so really it’s only two things.”
* She giggles again.
* “Is the other one going over to your house to play monopoly?” Mike asks, a grin arching onto his face
* “No my house is out of town, the other thing is to go to the school football game”
* “I’m not really a big fan of football” Bella hesitantly says, and Mike and Edward laugh
* “Yeah no one here does, everyone goes for the half time show, or just to hang out.” 
* You’re pretty sure your entire friend group only goes to the games to see your cheer routine, especially this year since you’re captain now. The first junior captain in a long time apparently. The news actually made the local newspaper.
* Everything is going good, and you’re starting to think maybe you and Bella might be friends.
* “Why don’t we have a board game night at our house again? Last time was-“
* You stop sentence, you were having so much fun you almost forgot why Edward was so obsessed with Bella.
* The slight breeze from the air conditioning brings her scent to you.
* You cover your mouth and nose with your hand
* Her scent is REVOLTING
* “(Y/N), are you okay?” Mike asks
* You vaguely feel Edward���s hand on your shoulder, has he not caught her scent yet?
* It’s pretty hard to miss
* Like gym socks, with a overly sweet base, it’s like-
* Your head snaps up, and your hand clamps over your mouth and nose even harder, but not because the scent is revolting
* She smells like cheese, perfectly aged Gorgonzola cheese, or maybe Brie?
* You smell the sweeter undercurrent stronger now, it’s like warm juicy peaches
* Roasted peach salad tossed with Gorgonzola and olive oil
* How many times have you dreamed about eating that while basking in the warm sunlight
* “I knew you shouldn’t have eaten those leftovers at lunch,” Edward says, but you know it’s performative, thank god he’s still got some sense after smelling her.
* “Mr.Banner, I think (Y/N) ate something bad, is it alright if I help them to the nurses office?”
* “Yes and hurry!” He’s practically shooing you out as Edward pulls you by the arm
* Nooooo, you wanna smell her moreeee
* You have the sense to not wine and keep your mouth covered.
* Edward doesn’t take you to the nurse, you both don’t stop walking until you’re at the parking lot
* “What the hell was that?” He asks, it’s the first time he’s seemed even remotely angry with you
* He seems more confused then angry though, you’re so shocked you actually sit down on the curb.
* And after a moment of hesitance Edward sits beside you, placing his hand over your own
* “She smells good Edward, like really good.”
* Edward laughs
* “Yeah I gathered that” he shakes his head. “I thought you were supposed to be a picky eater”
* “I aaaaamm” you moan, your head is cradled in your left hand. “She’s like one in a million”
* “You’re one in a million” you lift your head to see Edward looking at you with that stupid sh*t eating grin.
* “Really Edward my life is falling apart because I want to eat someone, and you think the appropriate response is to flirt?”
* To be fair, he’s always flirting, it’s basically apart of his personality at this point
* “You’re being melodramatic.” He chuckles and throws an arm over your shoulder. “Worst case scenario you kill her, Carlisle doles out his funeral punishment-don’t ask, and then we have to start over as freshman again somewhere else.”
* You groan, you finally worked your way up to a junior, you were just starting to get used to this crappy town, you don’t wanna start all over again in a new one
* “What’s the best case scenario?”
* Edward thinks hard for a minute.
* “Best case scenario...the music teacher agrees to teach me how to play the violin and I impress you with my magnificent playing.” You smack him on the arm.
* “Not the best case scenario for you!” You know he’s doing it on purpose. He just wants to make you laugh
* It works, you do laugh. How much more absurd could this situation get?
* “Everything’s going to be fine, if Jasper can handle having to smell 300 students he thinks smell good, you can handle 1.” 
* He’s got a point
* “Wait-didn’t she smell good to you?” Wasn’t that like, the whole d*mn point?
* His eyebrows thread together and he shrugs
* “Um, she smelled alright, no better or worse than the others. I’m not sure what you smelled-“
* What you smelled? The rich but refreshing flavor profile is sublime
* The f*cking heathen doesn’t even know what he’s missing
* “But to me she smelled like peaches”
* Well he kinda knows what he’s missing
* “She’s definitely anemic though, there’s a sever lack of iron in her scent” ah that must be that cheesy smell you’re getting
* Well ain’t this ironic. The girl who’s going to steal your best friend is only getting noticed because of you.
* “I don’t know, personally I prefer Henrietta the 3rds blood, but that’s just me” he’s lying, your blood is good and all, but it’s definitely still not on par with a humans blood
* He’s just trying to make you feel better.
* He rubs your shoulder, before patting it and moving to stand up.
* “Now come on, we have to make you eat some human food so you can throw up in front of the nurse and she lets us leave school early”
* You roll your eyes, anything to leave school early huh?
* “Yeah all right, lead the way Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Brooding”
* “Why do you always say that? I don’t brood that much anymore!”
* “You know how some people have resting b*tch face? You have resting brood face.”
* “Says the person who literally radiates despair” you shove him as you both walk towards the vending machine
* You take a deep breath as you watch Edward fumble with the vending machine
* The dork literally sticks a credit card up to the glass and demands the machine give him chips. 
* (Y/N/N) why isn’t this working? Am I supposed to insert my card through this slot?” 
* You laugh. You’re pretty sure he’s not doing this on purpose.
* “You’re supposed to use cash Edward.”
* You watch as he fumbles with his wallet muttering:
* “Do you think it’ll take a twenty dollar bill?”
* You watch in amusement as Edward tries - and fails- to use a twenty dollar bill, and then proceed to use obscure profanities to curse “this vile wretch of human technological advancement” 
* You feel a sigh of relief escape you.
* Yeah, everything is going to be fine.

Childe is like Chocolate...{Childe x Reader}
Tumblr media
A/N: oooh I’ve never written anything with a reader before, this was actually really fun to do! I had planned on doing some with mystic messenger but never would’ve thought to do it with genshin impact! thank you so so SO much for the request, it made me so happy to get a prompt for genshin! I hope the fic is okay as it is my first time with a reader insert... I hope you still enjoy it!
Summary: You’ve been spending all day with Childe. As he continues to press for more time with you, you begin to get exhausted as time presses on. How will you take care of him?
Word Count: 1.7k (under the cut)
You looked up into the sky as some cranes flew by over the harbor. It was another peaceful day in Liyue… or would be, if not for a certain Schneznayan pest that decided to keep bothering you.
“Are you up for dinner tonight? We can get it at your favorite place~” A voice cooed in your ear, the tone making it difficult to fight off a grin.
You turned, hands on your hips as you faced Childe, your boyfriend, who stood behind you. As much as Xiangling’s cooking enticed you, Childe hadn’t given you any time off that day, and you seriously could use a break. Sure, you loved him, but there was only so much Childe one person could handle in a day.
“Childe is like chocolate. Too much and it gives you a stomach ache,” Zhongli had once said. You bit back a laugh as Childe frowned at you, pouting out his lip as he leaned down slightly to better match your height.
“Childe, I’d really love to,” You said, standing on your tiptoes to kiss him quickly on the cheek. “But I’m not feeling up to it tonight.”
Childe’s frown only became more emphasized as the words left your lips, and he stood up straight, nearly towering over your shorter stature.
“Fine,” He mumbled, crossing his arms. You smiled meekly. It hurt a little bit, disappointing him, but you definitely could use a break.
“How about a picnic instead? We could go by the harbor, I know how much you love the scenery there!”
You couldn’t hold back the mild groan of annoyance that escaped your lips as Childe suggested yet another romantic outing. When would he just give up…?
Childe uncrossed his arms, reaching out and taking your hand gently in his own. 
“Are you sick of me?”
You were a bit taken aback, you hadn’t expected Childe to get as dejected as he was. Well, then again, Childe put almost everything behind making sure you were happy, so he was bound to be upset if there wasn’t something he could do to make you feel good.
“I’m not sick of you, Childe,” You said, gripping his hand back and looking up into his eyes. “Let’s go to the harbor tonight, we can get takeout from Wanmin if you’d like.”
Childe’s eyes lit up like an excited puppy as he smiled widely. 
“That sounds perfect! I’ll go get the food, do you want to meet by the hotel before we head over?”
You nodded, Childe pulling your hand up to his lips as he kissed it softly. 
“See you in a bit, dear,”
You walked away from him, heading towards the hotel as he headed over towards the restaurant. You let out a long sigh. All you really needed was a break, why couldn’t you have just asked for one? It was so hard to say no to him… 
As soon as you got to the hotel you plopped on the bed. Exhaustion from your commissions and from keeping up with Childe hit you like a brick and you could barely stand. You curled up, sinking into the plush mattress as you started to drift off to sleep… 
“Hey, wake up!” Childe said, poking your tummy repeatedly as he laid down across from you, making you giggle.
“I am awake, I was closing my eyes… did you get the food?”
“It’s sitting on the dresser, but I don’t know if you’re up for the harbor tonight… want to just stay in?”
You smiled softly, leaning forward and giving Childe a quick peck, thumbing his cheek as you pressed your forehead against his.
“I would prefer that, yes,”
“Ah, but do you want to grab the food? I’m beat!”
You laughed. “Oh, you’re tired? I’m exhausted, you grab the food!”
Childe grinned. “Make me.”
Oh, so that’s how it is, hmm? You grinned back, sitting up and leaning over him, leaning down until your noses touched.
You kissed him, Childe immediately kissing back as his eyes fluttered shut. You shifted around a bit more until you were straddling him, not breaking the kiss as you went. Childe chuckled.
“How am I gonna get the food if you’re on top of me?”
“Hmm, the food can wait I suppose,” You said, raising your hands and wiggling your fingers. Childe’s eyes widened as he realized what was going to happen.
“N-No! I mean, the food’s gonna get cold, right? Why don’t we just eat now, while it’s nice and hot?”
“Hmm… nah~,” You said, lowering your hands until they finally made contact with Childe’s tummy, making him squeak as giggles started to pour from his lips. 
“No! W-Wait!” He gasped out, slapping a hand over his mouth to hold in his laughter as he squirmed, his face turning red as he squeezed his eyes shut. He wriggled around, a few muffled chuckles escaping his lips as you continued your tummy torture.
“Why are you holding back? Laugh!” You jeered, moving your hands to his hips before giving them a firm squeeze. Childe broke, immediately using his hands to swat at yours, desperate to get rid of the horribly ticklish sensations on one of his worst spots. His face got redder, and his laughs began to pour out of his lips like a waterfall.
“Wahahahahait! Too much, too muhuhuhuch!”
“Already? We’re just getting started!”
Childe shrieked and grabbed onto your wrists desperately when you dug your thumb into his hipbone, rubbing it around as he bucked beneath you, trying to escape or at the very least make it stop.
“Your face is so pink already, Childe, how cute~” You teased, grinning as Childe’s hands immediately went away from your hands to cover his face. You laughed.
“D-Dohohohon’t make fun of mehehehe!” He whined, his voice and laugh now muffled by his hands. You smiled eagerly. He had only exposed more of his sensitive torso by covering his face, and you were planning to take full advantage.
Your hands traveled up to his ribs, digging your fingers in as he shrieked, bucking beneath you. His hands moved slightly at the touches, but they didn’t move from his face. So that’s how it was going to be… 
“Nohohohot thereee! Plehehehease!”
“Why not? Is this a bad spot?”
“Yehehehehes!”
You hummed, smirking as your fingers traveled higher, digging into his underarms. He arched his back, letting out a squeal before twisting around in your grip, shrieking.
“Not thehehere either!”
You chuckled. “It’s not my fault you’re so ticklish, every spot is too much for you,” You teased, continuing to scribble around the sensitive spot under his arms. He clamped his arms down, while still covering his face. His muffled laughter echoed around the room, and it was music to your ears.
“Tickle tickle, Childe~” You teased again, one hand reaching back to squeeze his hips again. Childe squealed, more muffled laughter escaping through his hands as he shook his head back and forth, twisting around and squirming as much as he could in your grip.
“Nohohohoho moreeee!” He begged, kicking his legs out behind you as you continued to torture him. You laughed.
“Can one of the great Harbingers of the Fatui really not handle a little tickling? Also, stop covering your face, I wanna see you laugh,” You teased again, both hands back on his hips as you kneaded them in a cruel, ticklish way. Childe shrieked, hands still glued to his face as he shook his head back and forth.
“I cahahahahan’t!” He whined through his laughter. You sighed.
“Guess we’re gonna have to do this the hard way then,” You said, scribbling your fingers up his sides, his ribs… 
“Whahahahat are you d-doing!?” He cried out, letting out a fearful shriek when you grabbed both his wrists with one hand, pinning them above his head. He breathed heavily as the tickling halted for a moment, and you blushed, staring down at him.
As many times as you tickled him you would never be able to get used to how cute his face looked after, his cheeks pink, his hair disheveled… He was so beautiful.
You snapped yourself out of it quickly. You looked down at Childe, smirking. He looked back up at you, panting as a few residual giggles escaped his lips, eyes wide.
“Th-The foods probably cold by now,” He pointed out.
“And whose fault is that~?” You asked, pinching his side as he let out a short squeak.
“Yours! You tickled me instead of getting it so now it’s - NOHOHohohoHO!” He shrieked, throwing his head back as his back arched. You dug your free hand under his arm, scribbling around in possibly his worst spot. Who knew? He was ticklish everywhere.
“Hmm, I think it’s your fault for being so ticklish,” You said with a grin, watching as Childe squeezed his eyes shut and laughed his head off, the dimples on his cheeks showing from how wide he was smiling. His ginger hair was all over the place, all mussed up from how hard he had been shaking his head around, and his cheeks were bright red.
“I-It’s nohohot my fahaHAHAHAHAULT!” He yelled, laughing hysterically as you continued to tickle his sensitive underarm.
You hummed, talking again to him, a bit louder this time so you could be heard over his laughter, “If you admit it was your fault I might stop.”
“M-Might?” he squeaked, a tear trickling down his cheek. You squeezed his hip again, and he barked out a laugh before dissolving into hysterical giggles as you nodded.
“Might.”
“Alrihihihight! Alright, it was my fahahahault! I’m sorreeheeheeheehee!” He yelled, bucking beneath you as he tried to shake you off of him. You smirked.
“Are you really sorry~?”
“Yehehehehes! Now stohohohop!”
You giggled, kissing his nose quickly before releasing him, sitting next to him as he panted heavily, one hand on his chest as it heaved up and down, a few giggles still escaping as he gredily took in some air.
“I’ll… I’ll get you,” He threatened, though his current state made his threat quite the opposite. You laughed, falling back on the bed next to him, turning to face him.
“There’s no way you’re gonna get me, you never do~”
Childe chuckled breathily and sighed, looking up at the ceiling.
“You’re evil.”
“You know you enjoy it,” You teased, Childe blushing and turning his head away from you.
“A-Anyway, we should eat the food before it gets colder than it already is,” He said hurriedly, sitting up and getting off the bed, picking up the food and setting it on the hotel table. You smiled, getting up and sitting across from him as he set up the food, his face still pink.
“Thanks for the food, Childe,”

Mingyu as your boyfriend
Disclaimer: this is just my opinion
dating this tall ass bean man would includeee
100% teasing of your height like 100000% he would, i feel like similar to s.coups he would hold stuff above your head or just call you short a lot
I feel Mingyu would be the type of boyfriend who is almost like a kid but not in a bad way
Because to be honest the “little kid”side of Mingyu was your favorite and the most funny
If Mingyu were to break something i think he would try to hide it from u like a little kid  because he would think you would get mad at him
However he would always make you laugh at little things he does or when he forgets something
For example if you guys were hanging out and you asked him to get you guys water or a snack or something like that and he forgets he would instantly run to go get them and run back to you repeating sorry and you would just laugh at how adorable he is
Mingyu would also be the type of boyfriend to be extremely cute towards you he would always be back hugging you or holding your hand or kissing your face yes your face
I also feel like mingyu would mock you not in a bad way more a way to tease you
For example lets say he was kissing your cheek a lot while you were trying to work and you said “mingyu stoppp” he would mock you by saying the same thing in a wayyyy higher pitched voice
Or he would just mock movements you do until you notice and then hit him while he would be laughing
Mingyu would also be a major klutz he would hit his head of things run into things fall off things and sometimes you couldn’t help but laugh cause it would be funny
You would try to hide your laughter and as if hes okay but you would eventually let it out and Mingyu would pout
Of course you would feel bad but then Mingyu would chase you around the house screaming “you think its funny, its not funny when your boyfriend gets hurt”
You knew he wasn’t actually mad as he was laughing too
The chasing also wouldn’t last very long because his legs were way longer then yours and when he would catch he would try to look mad and try to scare you
But it would just result in you two falling over and laughing till there were tears in your eyes
I also feel like with Mingyu that he would kiss you a lot but he would some how get shy if you were to kiss him first, he would either get shy and hide his face or just blush and look away so you couldn’t see his blush 
Anddddd if one of the members say like a lipstick mark on his cheek they would end up asking his questions already knowing the answer but he would get super shy and try to come up with a lie
Mingyu also gives me the vibes of a boyfriend who would just stare at you and take in that you were his and that he would grab you and kiss you
This would of course make you blush cause like Mingyu staring at you come on now who wouldnt blush
I also feel like he would keep eye contact while you talk for example if you were telling him a story he would just stare into your eyes the whole time while listening
He would also let you borrow his sweaters all the time for some reason Mingyu strikes me as the guy who would find it cute when you where his clothes and wouldn’t mind if you “stole” them from him
I also think your relationship would have a lot of adventurers
Like one day you wake up just go explore somewhere new with each other and do new things or try new foods together
And if you guys were not exploring new places it would be mini dates for example
A day at the beach where you guys would go swimming shirtless mingyu and you guys would probably later end up inviting the members if u got bored and had nothing else interesting to do
And then the day would become even moreeee interesting and fun and many memories would be made that day
I also feel like you guys would have a campfire and I can see Mingyu cuddling up to you with a blanket around the both of you, roasting the members marshmallows and telling scary stories
Which would include you curling up to Mingyu even tighter cause some of the members had really freaky stories 
I can also see Mingyu bringing you on adventures with him and the members like traveling to a certain part of a town or city
And you would record everything because the moments were something that should be caught om camera
Mingyu however would eventually move the camera from your hand kiss you and then star walking hand and hand
If you and the rest of seventeen were exploring somewhere at night Mingyu would be by your side protecting you because he would never allow someone to hurt you
I feel like mingyu would act like such a husband too like stuff he would do would just make u realize how husband material he was
For example he would make u breakfast in the mornings and he would take care of you if you needed him to
If you were working late or were doing assignments at home late at night and you haven't eaten I can see Mingyu preparing dinner for you and making sure you eat
he would also make sure you get rest and if you refused to go to bed he would end up pulling you away from whatever you were working on and he would lay with you maybe even sing you to sleep if you were being super stubborn
Mingyu would also play with or even do your hair for you because he would get bored and he loves playing with your hair
He would just randomly start playing with your hair then he would do braids and you wouldn’t mind because you knew it would be good
basically Mingyu would be more of a husband then a boyfriend he would be such a bean and he would always act so sweet towards you

bit of a rant/review of pokemon the movie i choose you
Ok. Can we talk about the Pokémon movie? It was a beautiful fucking mess.
Why?
Let me preface this by saying I am a huge Pokénerd and am a fan of the games and anime (I haven’t watched it in years but what I have seen recently I enjoyed). Saying that, I also am someone who won’t take “well it’s just a kid’s show/movie, it doesn’t have to be good” as an excuse ever, especially with well-done kid’s movies are coming out every year at this point.
Anyway. if you are curious, for some reason, about my opinion of the latest movie in the Pokémon franchise....continue reading.
Also. SPOILERS BELOW.
So. Like I said previously. It was a beautiful, terrible hot mess.
A h o t mess
Let’s start with why I thought it was terrible (and weed out the butthurt fans right off the bat)
Story wise, there were issues. Since they crammed the entirety of season 1 into it with different characters and picked the best episodes of the season as story points.
Like I would compare it to The Last Airbender movie in how over-stuffed it was in story, since that movie also tried to an entire season into a movie, but I can’t compare them because The Last Airbender movie is actual garbage and this movie is.....not that.
Main complaint is movie length. Why is it so short when it could have been so much longer and filled with more character interaction and development?? I’m not asking for Pixar quality because I’m not expecting Pixar, but if you’re gonna introduce us to new characters and expect us to love them and miss them when they leave, give us a bit more to go on than just snapshots of their journey. Speaking of snapshots, though, I did like that little touch of Verity going through her phone to show the moments they’ve all been together -- clever, time-saving story-telling choice, that.
“No one watches/plays Pokémon for the story/characters” -- WELL I DO. THEY’VE DONE IT IN THE PAST AND MADE A MEMORABLE STORY AND GAME FOR US, SO THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN. Have you even SEEN Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back? BECAUSE BOI THERE WERE TEARS AND IT WAS THE BEST.
Just...The reason the other Pokémon movies worked so well/better is because we knew the characters involved aside from Ash. If we’re being introduced to new characters in this movie, give us a reason to care about them.
There was also just very little tension because I knew that they were just highlighting parts of the first season (or so), so whatever problem they had would be worked out by the end. Also, because it’s Pokémon and Ash is an OP MC.
My boi Sorrel tho
I love Sorrel, though. A+ dude. I wish he had more screen time because he's such a cute little bean and I FUCKING CRIED when his Luxray died HGHSJJJJjdee (but does he only have Lucario?? Like I know he was too afraid to love a Pokémon after Luxray, but boy are you seriously going on your own with one mon???)
I was also happy to see that he found Articuno, but WOW these kids are lucky because together they’ve all seen like four legendaries (Entei, Raikou, Suicine, Ho-Oh) in the span of a year (or so?) Some people, apparently, don’t see legendaries EVER and these kids see FOUR? I know it’s because plot but dang.
Verity (like the lake!)
Verity (ha her name is Verity and she's from a region with a lake named Verity lol) kind of just reminded me too much of Misty with her Pokémon being water types. If they were gonna add that little background about her mom, I wish they would have done more with it. Like...explain how she uses water types because her mom loved water types. She uses a Piplup because her mom has an Empoleon. I just wanna know MORE about her. GIVE ME MOREEEE DANG IT
I also def thought they were gonna have her mom as someone we've met in the games/show before, but no. Just random, faceless character we never see/meet.
Angry child Cross who is essentially Kacchan from My Hero
Can we talk about Cross for a second?
Yes, he’s an asshole, but, especially with that little redemption arc, he’s not EVIL. Like I know they needed someone to set off all the bad things, but this boy doesn’t have an evil heart. Just say....like a darkened heart or whatever because if he was evil he wouldn’t get a redemption arc like that. He’s just a proud asshole who believes in strength over friendship.
Honestly, true antagonist is Marshadow because WOW SOMEONE NEEDS TO COOL THEIR JETS. I was also incredibly confused as to if Marshadow was good or bad.... Like they say its a guide and someone who restores the balance or fixes the Ho-Oh feather, which sounds like a good guy, but this little bitch was stirring up all the trouble and ends up being the main villain like good lord what is going on.
The animation, the colors
Damn I forgot how good the battles look. Like DAMN. So much tension for a battle I know Ash is gonna win. So much hype when LITERALLY NO ONE UNDERSTANDS TYPE MATCHUPS LIKE A PIPLUP VS A PIKACHU THE PIKACHU WILL WIN IDIOTS
Ahem. But I'm probably thinking too much like the games and not the show which kind of throws the games out the window so whatever.
But yeah, man, I forgot how beautiful something can be when it goes onto the big screen. Like, the Pokémon anime has always had a certain look, a certain charm to it (yes, even in the Sun and Moon series), but it just looked so great and beautiful and gorgeous and lovely on the screen and I’m honestly excited for it to come out on DVD/BluRay whatever so I can see it again.
Ok...it’s not Your Name or a Ghibli film. But...it’s still a very pretty Pokémon movie and it touches my nostalgic, nerdy heart.
ALL THE NOSTALGIA
You read my complaints above, but I will admit that, while it was a bit ridiculous to cram the entire first season into one movie, I enjoyed that it was a celebration of sorts of the show from its beginning? Which was honestly great. They had all of the best, most memorable moments from the show (the pilot -- obviously, finding Charmander, Bye Bye Butterfree). I was near tears a few times with all the nostalgia, guys.
I wish they had brought back Misty and Brock if they wanted to really really celebrate the first season, but c’est la vie.
AND THEN THAT THEME SONG GAVE ME LEGIT CHILLS. I DON’T CARE THAT IT WAS REMIXED. I HAD CHILLS. GOOSEBUMPS E V E R Y W H E R E.
I saw the theme song remix on YouTube prior to seeing the movie and I felt all the nostalgia then, so you’d think I wouldn’t get chills when I saw it.
Welp, we’d both be wrong then. Because ALL THE CHILLS. ALL THE HYPE FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE. IT WAS GLORIOUS. (imma put it on repeat after i post this, tbh.)
Other things that don’t really have a place elsewhere
Also, this was pretty much the X-Men days of future past of Pokemon. Tbh. Because, unless this is just AU first season? (I can’t remember if this was confirmed to be just the alternate universe first season), it’s like they’re saying well, here’s the NEW beginning of the show so now we can do whatever we want woo! (Jesus I sound like Kukui)
Speaking of doing whatever they want...
PIKACHU SAID WORDS??? ENGLISH? WHYY???????????? I WAS SO CONFUSED AND WONDERED IF MY SODA HAD BEEN SPIKED
I know they were trying to do the throwback to Mewtwo Returns (BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF, IF NOT THE, BEST MOVIES AND SO DOES THE POKÉMON COMPANY) and we all want to remember why we love Ash and Pikachu so much and why THEY care about each other so much. But....that was.......strange. Maybe the Japanese audience liked it more because that seems to be the only opinion they really care about, but I know I wasn’t the only one in the theatre just staring at the screen in confusion asking what the actual f u c k was going on.
Last things
I may have my complaints -- that I’m throwing out into the ether just to get them out of my head -- but that doesn’t mean I disliked it.
It’s still Pokémon and I’m still a fan and everyone will still be fans regardless of any issues with the movie, any story problems, any characters featured (or lack thereof **MISTY AND BROCK).
With its beautiful animation, particularly in the battles, and gorgeous set pieces, because WOW did you say some of the views they had?, it was nice to see Pokémon celebrated with an old story told with a fresh coat of paint.
This movie may not be the best. It may not be Pokemon: The First Movie Mewtwo Strikes Back (honestly, most movies aren’t that, so that might be a bit unfair to say.) But it’s still got that Pokémon charm we all know and love and has some pretty cool characters along the way. It’s definitely something that every Pokémon fan, young or old, new or a veteran, should watch and enjoy. Because, despite its flaws, it reminds you of better times, nostalgic times.
It reminds you of that first time you played the game or watched the show, when your biggest choice was your starter Pokémon and adventure was just outside the door, waiting for you to take the first step.
(Yes, I’m basically saying nostalgia is what powers this movie, but we’re celebrating the 20th anniversary, so of course there will be nostalgia.)
Some fandoms can’t say they’ve been around for over 20 years -- but Pokémon, with its die-hard fans and ever-growing fanbase who will support just about anything that comes out relating to the games/show, can. And the movie understands that. It understands that just about everyone who sees it will put on their hat, grab their Pokémon, and sit in those theatre seats like we’re all excited 10 year olds waiting to go on our own journeys, waiting to revisit the world of Pokémon regardless of how good the movie is. And that, the strength of the fans and the perpetual love of the series, in my opinion, is the greatest strength.
