DID SOMEBODY SAY VIRGIL ANGST?? *Ahem* Can You Do “Nobody’s seen you in days.” With Prinxiety Please?

Gods how was he so stupid?.

It was only a matter of time before Janus got accepted.

Only a matter of time before he had to confront the facade he'd so masterfully crafted.

A facade that had worked so well even the Lord of the Lies believed it as a truth.

Virgil wasnt ready for that, Virgil would never be ready for that.

Well, they hadnt needed him last video, he only got in the way when Thomas had gone to the mall.

They wouldnt miss him, he could just stay in his room safe and sound and never have to confront anything ever again.

Tears were very salty, a lot more so than how they were usually described, almost bitter.

His were black, almost like he cried ink, Roman had always though of it as rather poetic.

He wished he'd never let Roman see him cry.

Wished he hadnt stopped insulting and berating him.

Wished they hadnt stopped arguing.

Wished they hadnt fallen in love. . .

It was a lot hard to sequester yourself in the abyssal depths of your room if you loved someone beyond it.

But Virgil would try, and he'd try as hard as possible.

Nothing was getting him out.

"Kiddo? I brought you breakfast. . ." Patton was the first routine visitor after the sides finally figured out where Virgil had been for the past week.

He'd heard them screaming about it the whole time, like chickens with their heads cut off.

Though he supposed headless chickens didnt scream.

"You can eat with us today if you want," Patton continued.

Virgil gave no response.

"Or you can eat it by yourself," Patton said, tone resigned and sad.

Vitgil waited until he heard footsteps, and for good measure sent some spiders out to check that he was really gone.

He heard both Patton and Roman scream as they fled.

Once he was sure they'd gone and hadnt brought anyone or anything else, he took the plate inside and shut the door, locking all three padlocks for good measure.

He didnt eat anything except the strawberry garnish on the toast.

He hadnt been hungry for days, and it wasnt like sides needed to eat, the only sides to get malnourished were the twins if Thomas was in a bad creative block, and even then they only looked it, they were never actually starving.

But still, no one took it as a good sign.

And if Virgil was honest the stench was starting to get to him.

But he didnt snap the trash bin away, he couldn't really, his magic was weaker by the day.

As Anxiety, his magic was tied to emotion.

And he hadn't felt anything but empty for weeks.

He heard another knock on the door.

"Virgil. . ."

Roman

His voice was hoarse and raspy, he'd been crying.

"Virgil nobody's seen you in days. . . I- We all miss you terribly so, please. . . Come back to us. . ." Roman whispered.

Virgil gave no response.

"At least let me take your trash out, I can smell it from out here,"

Virgil obliged and opened the door ever so slightly to remove the trashcan, not looking at Roman for even a second before slamming it back shut.

Roman let out a sigh, and went on his way.

It was a full month before Virgil got another visitor.

"Virgil."

Virgil froze as Janus' voice breached the door, his parent voice.

"I know why you're hiding," Janus continued.

Virgil raised his head off his pillow ever so slightly.

"I've tricked you into thinking you've tricked me, which simply isnt an accurate statement, I'm well aware of your fabrication and fantasy as a result of the perceived status quo on the light side," the floor creaked slightly as one of Virgil's feet slipped off the bed.

"We've abolished the differentiation within the mindscape, each side may come and go as he pleases, there is no need for worry about reputation,"

Virgil let out a slight hiss as he opened the door just a sliver, light catching in his eyes.

"You're not mad?" he said, feeling like a child who'd been caught adjusting his own report card.

"Never was," Janus replied, extending a hand. Vitgil took it, his own now feeling smaller than usual.

"VIRGIL!" Roman practically knocked the wind out of his boyfriend as Virgil and Janus rounded the corner.

"Oh Virgil it's been ages,I almost thought you'd shrivelled up like a prune and died in there!" Roman continued, barely letting Virgil open his mouth before sprinkling his face with kisses and locking their lips together.

"I- I'm sorry-" Virgil said, Roman's face went visibly gentler.

"You didnt do anything wrong, you were just afraid," he said, running a thumb along Virgil's cheek.

"Now come along, you need to eat something other than a garnish for once,"

"You're not going to baby me are you,"

"Dont push it,"

Sweet Temptations

Izuku Midoriya X Reader

Summary: The rain certainly provides the perfect atmosphere to nap in.

WARNINGS!: none

Category: Fluff

Word Count: 3.8k

A/N: It was raining a few days ago when I was taking a nap, so I decided to conjure up a self indulgent fic >~<

Just To Clarify:

Izuku is your fiance

you both live together in a house in the mountains

commute to work is probably a pain but oh well

The sprinkle of rain pitter-pattered gently on the roof of your shared home, dribbling off of the sides and thumping against the flat, smooth rocks strategically placed beneath.

Drip.

Drop.

Drip.

Though it was faint, the splashing of its drizzle in the koi pond just beside you could still be heard, even through the paper shoji dividing the two seperate spaces. The fresh yet blissfully familiar earthy scent of it seeped in through an open, wood-framed window not too far from where you sat, rain splattering noisily onto the vibrant red maple leaves just outside of it. The sweet sound molded together with the soft jingle of chimes swaying in the light breeze to create a beautiful melody that soothed your soul more-so than any show ever dreamed of doing.

Downpour was always best in the spring, the cool atmosphere welcoming it with loving arms. It always gave you a good excuse to stay bundled up on the plush couch, sipping at a freshly made cup of herbal tea.

The wide TV just in front of you idly played something you couldn’t quite remember the name of, becoming more of background noise as your eyes always seemed to travel back to the droplets lazily flowing down the foggy glass of the window, dripping down onto the wet frame.

Surely the water would seep inside soon, traveling slowly down the wall just to puddle on the tatami mats, but the fresh air it provided was too good to pass up for something so mundane.

Besides, it would take a long time for that to actually occur.

Days like this were the ones you found yourself loving the most.

A day to relax your bones stiffened by adult duties, letting the sounds of nature wash over your tired being.

A day to not have to worry about anything.

No responsibilities, chores are already taken care of, work all done.

There was absolutely nothing of any importance that needed your immediate attention.

The lack of work wasn’t the only good thing on this fine day, though.

It was the peace and quiet.

A perk of moving into a home a ways away from the bustling city was the relative stillness, as well as the much-needed privacy.

That, and being surrounded by wildlife.

The place was a traditional Japanese home, or similar to it as the realtor had said. Surrounded by trees, flowers, well-placed stones, and babbling brooks.

Living in a house like this was always a dream.

Perhaps thats why you were able to convince your lovely fiance to live here.

Tatami floor mats cushioned your near every step, the woodwork filling the interior the house becoming a sight for sore eyes every time you happened to notice the beautiful craftsmanship.

Everything was pristine.

New, yet held that comforting sense of tradition you always wanted.

A place where you could build a life with your handsome husband-to-be.

Yawning, you placed your tea cup onto the coffee table before stretching out on the couch you had lounged around on for far too many hours, arms rising high above your head. A satisfied groan left your lips the moment your back popped, the sickening crack being far louder than you had originally anticipated.

Boy, was your posture in true shambles.

The bone king quaked at your very feet.

You snorted at the thought, hopping off and stretching your legs out for a moment.

A quick press of the button turned the forgotten television off with a jingly bleep.

No point keeping it on when a new quest had opened up for your curious soul.

The quest of: Finding Izuku and annoying him.

Honestly, who would you be if you spent too long willingly away from him?

His sheer presence was far too calming and therapeutic for you to ever even consider such a foolish option.

Or perhaps you were just as love-struck with him as you were when you first had met.

Besides, knowing him, your big man probably desired your company as much as you suddenly did his.

So, grabbing your cup of tea, you slid your tan slippers on over your Christmas-themed fuzzy socks, wrapping your cozy (F/C) blanket around your shoulders before setting out on your little adventure.

It was around noon, the sun high in the sky shining as brightly as it could behind a plethora of darkened clouds. He always seemed to like reading around this time, his internal clock making his fingers itch for something to grab and run his eyes over.

Oftentimes his fingers swept through news articles on his phone or turned a delicate page of a random book that previously caught his brilliant green gaze at that old book store at the edge of the city that felt, in many ways, like a home you never knew you needed.

The store's calming ambience was the key inspiration for the fairy lights and various decorations scattered about your home, especially that kotatsu that sat in the middle of your living room.

Your feet padded gently on the tatami as you made your way around the house, first checking his little office hidden away in the back. It was hard not to cringe at the state of it. Papers were scattered everywhere and overflowing from the poor trash bin, random maps sprawled out on the desk, notebooks filled with notes and ideas to the left of his old, squeaky chair. It was a mess. Did he ever clean this place?

You were tempted to do so yourself for a split second, before realizing everything was in a specific place for a reason. A reason unknown to you, but known to him, as he explained sorrowfully the one night you did clean his office. He was a messy boy, forever and always. At least with his work. His mind ran too fast for his hands to keep up half the time, resulting in.. chaotic messes only he could comprehend.

Blinking, you slid the door shut with your foot, sipping at your drink as you carried on your search.

The house was quiet, save for the ever-present pattering of rain against it, giving no real indications of his true whereabouts.

Typically you could rely on his persistent muttering to swiftly locate him, but today was as silent as ever. No doubt the atmosphere got to him as well, making him want to relax somewhere and listen closely to the soft rainfall whilst doing whatever he pleased.

Humming, you checked each and every room you came across upstairs first, looking for the man you loved oh-so-much.

As time ticked on and minutes flew by, you found yourself getting pouty, fingers thrumming against the now empty mug as you continued searching.

Where on earth could he be? Sure, the house was a bit big, but you had already managed to cover the entire upstairs floor and the majority of the bottom. Calling out to him would be easier, he’d no doubt reply in that cheery tone that graced his voice whenever he spoke to you, but you wanted to find him on your own. Surprise him to a degree.

His senses were sharp, and he’d hear you the moment you came a few meters near him - no matter how quiet you were, but that wasnt going to stop you from trying to surprise him.

Plus, calling out his name didnt quite seem appropriate. The still, chilly air would be ruined by your voice, and you couldn’t help but subconsciously want this search to go on until you yourself found him with your own eyes, and not use his voice as an aid.

After checking a few more rooms, you sighed heavily, head thumping against the wall as your resolution crumbled beneath your feet.

Was it really worth it? Being silent?

You weren’t even a ninja or some vigilante, you were just a bakery owner who never needed to sneak around, especially their own living space.

With a huff of aggravation, you walked to the kitchen. Holding an empty mug was pointless and served no purpose other than getting in your way, so naturally you decided to get another drink.

Oh, what to choose?

There were so many options to choose from other than tea.

Well, not really. More like, an endless amount of tea and three other things. Probably.

Coffee? No, no, even if you were feeling a bit sleepy, now was not the time for a caffeine high.

Oh!

What about hot chocolate?

Yes! Absolutely!

This cold weather certainly called for a nice, hot cup of a sugary sweet, chocolatey drink to warm your tummy and renew your resolve.

As you were mixing the cocoa powder into your warmed up cup of milk, watching with childish glee as the dark brown swirled with white for a moment until it mixed into a nice tawny brown that reminded you of delicious brownies, a distant noise caught your attention.

Your head instantly perked up, eyes flying up to peer out the large window in front of you.

Rain continued to pour softly down onto the wet and muddy ground, momentary water halos forming as they splatted down onto the darkened pathement.

A car zoomed past, throwing muddied water up onto the far away end of your driveway.

Ah.

So it was a car.

It was hard not to feel disappointed at that, partially because you had hoped it was Izuku giving away his location by accident.

Though he could be quite loud at times, that man had the power to be quieter than a kid told to wake their parent up in a bit to do chores.

With a discontented sigh, you placed the spoon into the sink, sprinkling some tiny marshmallows into your drink before walking off to continue the man hunt.

There weren’t too many places left inside for you to check, and you managed to do so in only a minute or two.

Truly, you were dumbfounded.

Where could he possibly be?

Did he take his car and go somewhere?

No, no, he would have told you if that were the case, and you would have seen him exit the front entrance as well.

So where?

You stopped in your tracks, being slapped upside the head with sudden realization.

Of course he wouldnt be inside huddled away like a lonely hermit on a day like this, no, he’d enjoy it! Breathe in the earthy fresh air as it enveloped him.

He loved the rain far more than you did, so it made sense.

You smiled, taking a big sip of your hot chocolate as you suddenly knew exactly where he was.

It was hard to say you didn’t feel like a complete idiot for missing something so simple as you walked back to the living room.

There was always one place he liked to hang out at during a nice day.

On the engawa hovering over the koi pond.

You stopped just in front of the shoji screen, excitement already sparking in your system.

You rocked back and forth on your feet as you took a breath to calm your racing heart, the goofiest smile etched upon your face.

Your fingers dipped into the slots used to open the door,

One.

Two.

Three!!

“BOO!” You screeched like a banshee down at the man relaxing on a cushion by the edge of the wood, glasses tipping off his nose as his focused eyes stayed glued to the book in his hands.

“Ahh!” He playfully shouts in response, a smirk upon his lips as he notices your exasperated state slinking down onto your knees on the polished floor with a look of utter defeat upon your cute face

“I was trying to scare you..!”

Came your complaint, eyes boring into his own as you pouted.

“I was scared. I screamed!” Izuku chuckles, shoulders shaking as he couldnt control that goofy smile of his.

If he was trying to look convincing, he was failing horribly.

You huffed at his antics, he was far too cute to even pretend to be mad at.

You should have known better, though, trying to scare the number one hero in his own home was like trying to scare someone who knew you were coming from a mile away.

Plus, you knew that before you even realized where he was.

It was to be expected of such a talented guy.

After sliding the shoji shut to keep the warmer air in, you crawled over to him. His upper back rested comfortably on a wooden support beam as his legs sprawled out in front of him, a leather book perched on his lap.

“So, what are you reading?” from the looks of it, it seemed to be an older book of sorts, the pages a yellowish-white and the cover boring no text.

You were now sitting beside him on your knees in what would’ve been shoulder to shoulder if he wasn’t so much more taller than you, sipping at your drink once more.

It was simply too good to resist.

“It was described to me as a ‘classic’ at the store. It’s a book filled with multiple fairy tales, each having a sort of.. theme or moral told in ink at the end. There's got to be at least twenty or so in here..” he spoke with enthusiasm, eagerly showing you the one he was currently reading.

“‘The Little Mermaid’?”

It grew increasingly rare for children to know the tale of The Little Mermaid, or at least, the adaptation of it that was shown on a screen. It was a fairly old film, one you remember your grandparents speaking briefly about with joy, but still a very beloved one. A joyous little tale of a red-haired mermaid seeking the love of a prince. How cute.

But why on Earth was he reading a children's book, then?

Not that you’d ever judge him, it was just that his taste was generally more.. Sophisticated. To a degree, of course.

“Yes. But this is the original one. The true tale of ‘The Little Mermaid’, the one filled with pain and gore.”

“P-pain.. and gore?” Well now that certainly didn't sound like a children's book. Is that why it's called a classic?

He hums, thumbing through a few pages, “It’s kind of inspiring. Each step she took felt like she was walking on glass, but she never gave up on being with her prince. I think, at least, I haven’t really finished it yet.”

“Are all the originals that horrifying?” you looked down at the book with disbelief, certainly not expecting each dream-like fairy tail to revolve around a horror story.

“Some are worse, some are better, but it’s a nice read.” he shrugged, going back to his original place in the book and nudging his glasses back up on his nose.

They always did make him look so gosh darn cute.

His eyesight was as perfect as the sky was blue, but for reading? He needed glasses. They were those cheap kinds found at bookstores, but damn if those black frames didn't pull his handsome face together.

He looked so attractive, even in this dulled lighting.

You’d expect someone to look gloomy when it rains, the shadows casted by the caliginous sky and stormy clouds bringing out the sadness buried deep within someone's soul and causing them to frown. Something mystical yet scientific. The rain always brought misfortune and sorrow, but Izuku has and forever will be that sun that never stops shining brightly no matter what. That optimism despite even the toughest situations always affected the way he looked, and boy did he always look irresistible. Even in this rainy overcast, he still smiled and sparkled with enthusiasm

Just another thing to love endlessly about him

You couldnt tell, but you were currently staring at him with lovestruck eyes and the dopiest smile that ever existed plastered on your chocolate coated lips.

Izuku found himself grinning along with you as his face stayed forward, peaking at you from the corner of his eye.

Your mug of hot chocolate was seemingly forgotten as you hugged his large, muscular arm, an act he certainly didnt mind if the light flush on his cheeks were anything to go by.

“You’ve got a chocolate moustache, princess.” The boy pointed out, lips pressing into a thin line to push down any giggles rumbling in his chest.

“W-what! Really?” oh, how embarrassing. How the hell did you get it on yourself? You weren’t a kid, only kids got those, right? Oh dear.

Just as you were about to wipe it off with your blanket still draped around you, Izuku turned, gently cupping your cheek and gazing deeply into your wide, (E/C) eyes.

Oh man.

His eyes.

Up close, they were the most beautiful thing you ever did see.

Age certainly did affect them, but not in a negative way. No, they were still as captivating as ever, but now there were tiny specks of brown you’d only truly see if you were this close to him, but god did they bring those eyes together. It was like staring into a forest coated in morning dew and shimmering with the blinding light of the sun.

Addicting. You’d certainly be the first to say you could stare into them for hours and never get bored.

“Here, let me.” his tone was softer than ever, yet held a bite of playfulness.

Eyes slipping closed, you nuzzled your rosey cheek into his scarred palm, an act the man you loved couldn't help but find utterly adorable and innocent.

Honestly, you were expecting him to wipe it away with his thumb or something, but the moment you felt something warm and wet lick across the top of your lip, you erupted with laughter.

“Eww! Izukuu!” you nearly choked on the words from how hard you found yourself laughing, weakly pushing his face away.

“What do you mean ew~” That teasing tone he always seemed to use on you during moments like these resurfaced, “i’ve done much ‘grosser’ things to you than just licking your lip, darling.”

Face burning from embarrassment, you whined loudly as he gingerly pulled you into his lap, your thighs on the sides of his own, placing the book down beside him just so that he could hug you close to him.

It was impossible not to relax instantly into his comforting embrace, the blanket previously doing next to nothing to protect you from this chilly air, but his body was like a heater in itself.

So, so warm.

“You’re forgiven.” you mumble against his neck, unintentionally sending sweet shivers down his spine.

“You s-sound tired..” the bashful man stuttered in that cute way he always seemed to do when flustered, hand idly rubbing up and down your blanket clad back.

“Mm.. just a little.” You didn't even realize how tired you were until you had a chance to sink into his warmth. Perhaps searching all over the house for the past half hour wore you out more than you’d like to admit.

Plus.. the calming rain certainly wasnt helping.

It was much more intense out here than it was when inside, the splatter of it hitting the pond not as muffled as before, mainly due to the fact that the pond was so close you could reach out and touch it if you so desired.

Which you didn’t.

Because then you’d get wet.

The sheer thought of getting cold water on your warm skin made you cringe, huffing through your nose just to nuzzle it into the crook of his neck.

Breathing in his scent was like being slapped with all the good things in your life.

He always had a bit of a musky scent. It was hard to tell if it came from his sweat or just natural scent, either way- it wasn’t all that bad when paired with his shampoo and conditioner.

Always one to use, for lack of better words, green scents. Planty scents. Scents that made you just want to bury your nose in his dreamily soft, fluffy green hair and stay there all day, carding your fingers through the locks just to hear his satisfied hum.

In a short conclusion, not only did he radiate manliness, but he also smelled manly.

Isn’t that what his friend, Red Riot, would say? Manly?

It was hard to describe him as anything but that.

He certainly grew up quite a bit after his years at UA, growing taller and becoming even more buff as he got to work on the field more. Age 18 was certainly a convenient time for him to have a growth spurt. And here he was now, 25, littered with scars you always pressed loving kisses to whenever you got the chance, and as handsome as ever.

But he knew you liked his scent, because you would often tell him that. Especially when he got out of the shower. It was actually hard for him to get dressed because you were clinging onto him, enjoying the lovely smells as he desperately clutched at his towel and whined.

It was very easy for him to compare you to a baby sloth, something that always clung to another. It was cute, and he always adored the attention, something he lacked growing up.

Even now, he knew exactly what you were thinking as you sighed happily. Your body seemed to slump against his, fitting into his arms like the puzzle piece he had always been looking for. He’d be damned if he ever lost it.

Pressing a tender kiss against your temple, he smiled the moment he noticed your breathing slowly getting deeper.

“Falling asleep, hmm?” he whispered, “I guess you do nap around this time.”

As expected, he didn't quite get a response other than a simple hum.

You really were too cute.

But he couldn't blame you anyway, it was the perfect weather and place to take a nap.

It wasn't often he was able to nap with you, so you must be inwardly jumping for joy as his heartbeat and soft thumps of rain against the roof lulled you to sleep.

You always felt so.. protected and safe in his hold. And that wasn’t just because he was a hero, no, it was something more primal, like whenever you were in his arms you were always drowning in the feeling of love and safety.

Maybe it was something more than that, but you were far too tired to actually come up with any logical explanations.

So instead, you finally let yourself drip into dreamland in the warm embrace of your beloved, letting gentle chimes swaying in the wind and the relaxing sound of rain be your guide.

And Izuku?

Well, he went back to reading his book, using your lovely ass as a place to rest it.

I was in desperate need of some beel fluff, so i wrote some. As one does. Uh, ive never done this,(posting fanfic, i normally jus write small things for myself tbh😅) before so please have mercy lol

I hope ya like it though, it put a smile on my face so im hoping it does the same for you♡

____________________________

You started filling the hem of your shirt with snacks, as many as you could fit in the scrunched up fabric that is, a tired but playful grin on your lips, as you thought over what you planned to do, mentally prepping yourself.

Normally, you're not so bold about seeking out comfort and such, feeling shy about showing vulnerability...but today, ugh, today had you particularly worn down. You needed something, affection preferably. You'd settle for a warm bath and some melatonin if you had to. Though, you really didnt want too.

You were tired of self soothing all the time. And Asmos care packages could only help so much. But you knew how to make it all magically better. There was only one option in times like these .

You worked quickly, excitement bouncing around in your gut, making your hands a little shaky.

Having grabbed all you could you carry, you practically dashed from the kitchen. Your mind set on finding a certain big demon. Last you heard, he was headed to his room for a bit. You hoped he was still there.

When you finally reached his bedroom door, you found yourself in a tad bit of a pickle. Your eyebrows furrowed, the realization that you wouldn't be able to open the door making you frown at the closed door briefly. You cursed yourself slightly, for not thinking that far ahead. You forgot in all your excitement.

Briefly you considered trying to use you feet before dropping the idea. Guess you've got no choice.

Dang it! You felt kinda bummed that you'd be losing the element of surprise, but the grin soon returned, thinking about seeing Beel always you happy, regardless of the circumstances.

"Beeeeellllllllllll!" You called out, letting a bit of a whine into your voice, hey, who knows? Maybe it'd get him in front of you faster?? He tended to be on the slower side of answering his door, sometimes he simply didnt hear it. Especially if he was working out or watching tv.

Apparently, whining his name did not speed him up:(

You were about to call out again, worried he hadn't heard you, when the door clicked open. The mere sound making you feel slightly giddy. Your eyes snapping up to meet his briefly. You soaked in as many details of him as you could, without just straight ogling him, before flicking your eyes back up to meet his.

"Y/n?" He seemed pleasantly surprised, dressed in a black tank top and grey sweats (you were happy to see him wearing them, because while he looked like a whole ass meal in them, it also meant he had no plans of leaving the house tonight).

His eyes were quick to find the odd lumps wrapped up in your shirt, as well as the bit of tummy peaking out. The position you held your shirt in had caused the bottom of your stomach to show, something you had worried about on the way here, anxious about a different brother catching a glimpse of you. You could feel his stare burn against your skin, he was about to say something, but then his nose twitched, and his eyes fixed on your bundle of snacks instead.

Not that you minded his staring your stomach, not with Beel.

The others...maybe.

Your tummy was one of his favorite parts about you, he's hands finding their way under your shirt to touch and squeeze the soft flesh more often than not. Always gentle and non intrusive. I think he'd full on cry if he accidentally upset you somehow tbh.

Boy had absolutely no shame about it, once he learned you didnt mind much.

Especially when you seemed to be a bit shy about showing your stomach, with the others, or just in general. He made sure to let you know how much he loved your squish. Be it at RAD or just casually in the house.

The only person who ever raised a fuss over it was Mammon, although, he tended to fuss over everything you did anyways;; His protests did absolutely nothing to deter you or Beel, much to his dismay.

Sometimes, if Beel was hungry and needed a distraction or a quick 'pick me up', he'd scoop you up and just shove his face into your tummy. (Much like what I do with my cat when I'm bored and/or sad) Then he'd just hold you there until he absolutely had to let you down.

Relishing in the feel of your softness and you heart racing under your skin, fluttering so delicately under his lips, pressing his face against you was an instant mood lifter for him.

You loved it, a surprised but delighted laugh always ripping from your chest, almost subconsciously. You couldn't hide your happiness in his affections, not that you would want to (thats a lie, you cant help but be embarrassed at the end of the day by the intensive joy you felt whenever you looked at him). Which only seemed to motivate him even more, and soon each time he scooped you up, he'd kiss all over your tummy, making you giggle because it tickled, before hugging you close with a small sigh.

"I brought snacks, and some cuddles. So uhm, can I nap on you for a bit? 'M tired. Unless your busy or something..." you beam up at him, starting to hesitate toward the end, suddenly a little unsure.

"Pretty please?? I wont bug ya, I promise." You plead, pulling your best puppy dog eyes, shifting from one foot to the other nervously. His eyes widened as his brain processed what you said, and the cute sight in front of him. If he was being honest, it made his brain stop for a split second.

He chuckled at you and lifted you up by the back of your knees, holding you carefully to his chest, mindful of your full shirt. A small startled squeak coming from you as he did so, a sound he never got tired of hearing.

You glanced in the room as he closed to door, he had papers sprawled over the small coffee table in the middle of the room, and a few (you spotted more in the trash bin in the corner) empty food wrappers around his work space. He plopped down in front of the table again, taking only a few steps to reach it. You were kind of jealous, your short legs never being a fair match against his. Luckily he enjoyed carrying you, which solved that issue right quick.

"You can keep me company while I finish my homework." He says, shifting you into his lap and keeping a loose hold on your lower stomach, fingers splaying out to get a small feel of your exposed skin. Glancing around, you dont see belphies mop of hair in his bed, he was probably sleeping in the attic or the observatory, you quietly hum to yourself, abit happy to have Beel all to yourself for the moment. Shifting forward, Beels hands refusing to let you go and setting on your waist, you hold your shirt above the edge of the table, and let the snacks spill from your shirt before smoothing the garment back down, missing Beels frown as he looses sight of your tummy. Quickly moving to organize the snacks a bit, so that they were within reach and not scattered all over his papers and in the way.

"Thank you, your the bestest!!" You say, the dull ache in your arms more than worth the effort in your opinion.

You tilted your head back so you can look up at him. Making eye contact with him made your brain kinda just...mush. Your hands slowly squeezing his on your waist, lifting them so you move a bit.

You tore you gaze from his, before turning around and wrapping your arms around his nack and your legs around his torso,(like a koala in his opinion).

Scooting as close as you could get away with, (your not as stealthy as you give yourself credit for, he knows, he just too nice to tease you for it, and he doesn't want you to stop), so you could snuggle up to him and be comfy at the same time. Which wasn't all that hard to do with him, being the teddy bear he is.

Your eyes glazed over slightly, and you were distracted as you mind pulled your attention away.

Ah, you were in pure bliss, you could die happy like this~

You had grabbed plenty of snacks, being sure to vary in your choices, knowing Beel would like to have options, and hoping to be able to buy some extra time with him and a cute Beel smile as a reward for your effort. Tho, youd do it anyways.

Not that you'd ever admit to that. Nuh uh, no way. Unless he asked nicely, you'd give in embarrassingly fast if he ever did, the realization making your face heat up.

But...

Embarrassment be damned, youd never tell Beel 'No'.

He looks down at you, face going all blushy and soft at your slightly dazed and flushed expression. Your thoughts getting the best of you for a moment. Shaking your head slightly and letting out a resigned sigh.

"Of course you can," you snap out of it when he speaks up, looking up at him, quick to give him your full attention. "I love when you cuddle up with me, it helps me focus a bit. You didn't have to bribe me, though, as long as its you, my cuddles come free-" wrapping his arms around your shoulders, giving you a snug hug, he moves to continue. "Not that I'm complaining-" you cut him off, feeling slightly guilty about it. You were already flustered, and his sweet words weren't helping your predicament one bit. That was until your eyes actually focus on his face, oh sweet hell, hes so precious!!! Your heart thumps nearly painfully for a moment, nerves biting into your thoughts.

Your face was definitely beat red now, you could feel it at the tips of your ears even. Yet you refused to move, your eyes locked on his. A rare occurrence, one you could tell he was basking in, his eyes were glued to your face, studying it. His flush deepening slightly.

Squishing his cheeks and "shushing" him gently. Your basically cooing at him, to tired suddenly to care much about how your words or actions came off. The nervousness slipping away from your voice and movements. "Its not a bribe hun, I just felt like seeing you smile before I fell asleep on you. Heh, your smile is my goodluck charm for good dreams, ya know?" You tiredly rub his cheek with your thumb, eyes lit up happily and content. Giving him a small breathless laugh at the end.

He really did calm you down, your mind slowing down as the excitement started to fade, a fact you became overly aware of quite suddenly, your eyes feeling quite heavy now that you felt safe.

You yawned, your weariness catching up to you.

Beels quick to notice, taking note of the bags under your eyes. Dont worry, he'll make sure you get some good sleep, no bad dreams were gonna plague you on his watch. He glances over at the snacks you brought, unbelievably happy. Seeing you so cutely curled up to him, the fact that you brought him as much food as you could carry(a sight he nearly died from when he saw it) and your sweet sweet words, it definitely warmed his heart to say in the least.

He loved that you actually came to find him, just so you could cuddle. His adoration for you is bottomless, just like his hunger.

So, Beel wraps you inna big bear hug, pulling you closer and peppering the top of your head and face with kisses. He gives you a big grin, his eyes sparkling happily. "Nap, I'll wake you up when I'm done and we can hangout till dinner."

You tiredly nod, relaxing against him.

Grabbing a baggy of chips, he smooches your forehead, before tucking your face under his chin so he could munch, and see his work(not like that was much of an issue, beels a big boy after all👀), without completely covering the top of your head in crumbs (you'd told him you didn't mind, especially since he always ruffled your hair to get then out, and you loved that...but he still feels bad about it and tries to avoid it to some extent) and being able to rest his chin on top your head was just the cherry on top for him.

💗Happy beel mode activated💗

Sighing happily, you close your eyes. Beels cuddles making all your stress melt away, just like they always did. Slowly, you start to drift off, listening to the soft scratch of his pen as he starts to work and his deep breathing, letting it lull you into sleep.

I dont know why my brain wanted me to got all out on this. I literally jus couldn't stop tweaking with it. Imma post if before i decide to change it. Imma just conveniently forget i wrote this now, maybe ill like it more after a week or two... :/ also if theres any spelling or grammar issues plz tell me, its like 2am rn so im sure i missed something

My Universe

A Disease

Pairing/characters- reader x Galaxy-and-star-collector

Word Count- 1235

Warnings- blood, hanahaki disease, self doubt, body horror

A/N- All mistakes are my own. I do not own any of the photos. This drabble is for Mel’s 3k celebration my prompt was “Give it back!” @fictionalabyss

You stared down into the sink looking at the mess in front of you. You tentatively lowered your hand picking up one of the red stained petals. Wiping away the blood as best you could you were amazed at the blue and purple petal. You racked your brain trying to remember what this flower was and it hit you, forget me nots. You chuckled sadly staring down pitifully at the rest of them. “Of course…I don’t want them to forget me and I want to make more memories with them…yet I can’t ever tell them.” You had loved them with all your heart for the past few weeks. You imagined you loved them longer than that but you only now let yourself truly accept your feelings for them. Your own self doubt and self hatred clouded your mind though, and stopped you from believing they could love you too. You quickly gathered all the petals save for one into the bathrooms trash and tied the bag up. You grabbed the one petal that you left behind and put it in your pocket before grabbing the bag and leaving to go toss it.

“Oh hey there (y/n).” They said as they placed their keys on the hook by the door.

‘Shit.’ You silently cursed at yourself, you hadn’t looked at the time and of course it was time for them to get home. You had hoped you’d have enough time to dispose of the bag before they got back but lady luck was not on your side. “Hey Z… I didn’t know it was 4 already I guess time flies when your having fun.” You gave them a closed smile not sure if there was any evidence left behind in your mouth and tried to walk past them to rid yourself of the bag. They held a hand out in front of you stopping you before placing a hand on their hip. “Excuse me am I forgetting the day of the week here or something?” They glanced down at the bag in your hand and then back up at you with a raised eyebrow.

“N-no? It’s Thursday…oh yeah your turn for trash this week right?” ‘Shit shit shit shit…’ Lady luck really enjoyed fucking with you didnt she you thought miserably. “I just thought I would be nice I spilled water in the bathroom and had to clean it up so I figured I would be nice and get rid of it for you.” You closed your eyes and gave another closed smile hoping they would take it as you just being nice and not hiding something.

“While I do appreciate it…” they grabbed the bag out of your hand and smirked running out the door while yelling back at you, “it’s my turn for trash doll face.”

You stared at the empty space in your hand in horror for a moment before rushing out the door after them. “Give it back!” You scream at them in a panic, your emotions running into overdrive. You catch them at the dumpster before another coughing fit overtakes you. You grasp your waist and cough, it burns to take breaths liquid and petals bursting from your mouth after each cough. ‘No..no no no,’ you scream at yourself in silence as tears stream down your face and you fall to your knees as your coughing gets worse whole bushels of the flowers coming out at this point. You felt them stare at you for a minute before hearing the plastic bag hit the ground and their feet running towards you. You black out with the last thing you hear being them shouting your name.

You wake up your body stiff your lungs on fire in a hospital bed. You groan softly at the sudden blossom of pain that ignites in your stomach. “Oh gods…” you hear followed by a sob. You turn your head softly and see them sitting their their face in their hands as violent sobs shake their body. You can’t help but start to cry too your body was tired, your mind exhausted it had all come about too soon.

“How long?” You heard them ask softly without looking up at you.

“…today was my worst episode but for a week now I’ve been coughing up petals.” You say softly bringing your gaze to the ground. You wouldnt be able to handle seeing their disappointment or their anger so you stared at the off white tiles instead.

“I’ll kill them for doing this to you…how could they not love you back? You’re so fucking amazing.” You hear them growl out. You glance back up at them in confusion.

“Who are you talking about?” Your brows knit together in confusion, did they not know it was them you loved?

“Whoever made you feel unloved.” They ground out anger and fury in their eyes, but you noticed something else there too, something you couldn’t place your finger on. You couldn’t bring yourself to say it was them that had started the blossom of flowers in your lungs and so you stayed silent.

Later that day you were discharged from the hospital, they said you had a week at best if the person didn’t return your feelings. Z had demanded and begged you to tell them who it was or to get the surgery to save your life as to them you were more important. Yet you didn’t want the surgery, you just couldn’t stop loving Z even if you wanted to. Things were tense in the house that night and to avoid another shouting match you retired to your room early and fell asleep.

You woke up to the sound of the front door opening and closing. You glanced to the clock on your desk and noted that it read 3 am. 'Strange,’ you thought, 'no one should be coming in or leaving at this hour.’ You slowly got out of bed ignoring the burst of pain in your lungs and left to go check on Z. You didn’t find them in their bed so you opened the door hesitantly to see Z round the corner towards the garbage bins. You started after them and noticed a bright pink petal on the ground that stood out against the gray concrete sidewalk. “An apple blossom?” You mused to yourself out loud. You glance around you, in the 6 months both of you had been living here together you never noticed any apple trees and that’s when it hit you. You ran after Z only to catch them throwing the bag into the trash and turning to see you a mortified expression on their face.

You ran into their arms and pulled them into a deep embrace crashing your lips into theirs. They hesitated but slowly kissed you back, and you both felt a shock run through your body. It was as if you could run a marathon your lungs no longer ached your heart swelled with love. You were finally home right where you belonged.

You pulled back slightly and saw the tears in their eyes as they grinned at you. “How long?” You asked them softly.

“Today was my worst episode…but for about a week” they grinned at you repeating the same words you had said to them in the hospital. Forget me nots and apple blossoms, flowers that would bring your two universes together until the end.

What chapter are we on now? Is this one long story with chapters, or a bunch of episode? Heres another one whatever it is.

"This is so unrealistic." Cinder said, tossing the book aside into the Atlas trash bin. "No one would ever vote for such a buffoon."

"He is such a corporate overlord." Adam added.

"That is all you can say about him? Hes a creep, an idiot, and a bigot." Argued Cinder. "Then again... Not so different from certain boys on our side."

Adam growled. "Whats that supposed to mean?"

"You, using the Schnee catchphrase Adam? Surprising."

"Are you going to get me out of here or not!?"

Adam was sitting in a cell in Atlas Prison Co.™ While Cinder and Emerald and Mercury were there dressed as guards. To anybody who came in, emerald would make the illusion that they were normal guards. The fact that they were wearing the uniforms made it easier for her to. It was all clean and white and bright and spotless in this prison, and Adam was in solitary confinement.

"Of course Adam!" Cinder said, unlocking his cage. He stepped out proudly. "I was merely contemplating on the Monarchists Anti-Democratic Propaganda, aka the 'Make America Great Again' novel."

"Oh by James Orvell? The guy who wrote the Brexit story? I loved that!"

Cinder smiled sinisterly at Emerald. "Yes Emerald. The man whos life mission is apparently to teach us that democracy is bad."

"It is bad!"

"According to one fiction writer."

"Look, does it matter?" Mercury said. "Salem is going to wipe out humanity, or humanity will be ruled by The All Powerful Cinder (he chuckles) or Adam here is going to make humanity into faunus slaves... So what does it matter what politics they use?"

"Yes, it is not up to them!" Adam said, grinning.

"Its not up to you either Adam." Cinder pointed out. "You are still under my charge."

Adam had nothing to say about that. "Lets just get out of here... And anyway, other than the fact that hes a billionaire, I think Trump would be cool."

"You would think that."

"Whats that supposed to- Grrr!"

_________________________________

Meanwhile, in a secluded little room at beacon...

"Do you like the bed I made us Ruby? Isnt it beautiful?"

The bed was large and structurally sound, but it actually looked kind of plain and geometric with no curving angles in the design. But it would do. Penny was wearing a hard hat and holding a wrench. There were other tools piled up on a shelf, including a blowtorch. Where Penny had gotten the materials to make the bed, Ruby didnt ask.

"You did a great job Penny!"

Penny made a cheerful face. "Thank you! Ruby my friend"

"Hehe... Penny... You know youre my girlfriend now dont you?"

Penny nodded. "Yes! And that is sen-sational! You look VERY beautiful today Ruby!"

Ruby blushed and moved close to Penny. "A-And you know what we could do on this bed, right?"

"Oh, I love cuddling with you!" Penny scooped up Ruby and gently squeezed and nuzzled her.

Ruby failed her legs so fast they were a blur. "Penny, put me down thats not what I meant!"

"Oh. Ohhhh..."

"You know what im talking about right?"

"Yes I do Ruby. You want to... Do the birds an bees... With ME?"

"Right! Do y-you want t-to Penny?" Ruby was blushing a lot and she was having trouble asking for what she wanted, but she was getting through it.

"Of course! I love making you happy!" Penny flomped Ruby onto the bed, and got on the bed to sit on her knees between Rubys legs.

"What would you like to do first, Ruby my girlfriend?"

"I... I was thinking I would... Do... You first... Actually... Hehe..." Ruby looked like she was about to faint from excitement and fluster.

"Do me? In what way?" Penny looked just about up for anything. She was taking this much calmer than Ruby expected. Ruby thought she would have an error and crash, but she seemed to be functioning well.

"I... I was gonna..." Ruby was having difficulty saying it. "Okay... Look... First things first, we should take off our clothes right?"

"But why? My clothes are cute and cool looking!"

"Yes they are Penny... But... To... Um... To do this... You need to take some off... Okay?"

"Youuuuu got it Ruby, I would be happy to do that for you!" And she started rolling her stockings down.

"N-No! Um... Penny! Keep your stockings and bow on, just take everything else off okay?"

Penny did so, until she was just wearing her stockings, bow, and underwear.

"Okay... Stop me whenever penny..." Ruby said nervously as she put her shaking hands on Pennys waistband. "Uh.... Grr... Why arent they coming off?"

"They are glued on Ruby... I couldnt tell you before..." Penny explained, looking embarrassed.

"What? No problem, ill get some scissors."

"Dont cut my underwear Ruby! I dont..." Penny covered her face in embarrassment. "I have a-a-any thing under th-th-there for y-y-you... Its just smooth synthetic skin..." her voice was glitching a little.

"Wha... Why not?!"

"n." Penny explained, explaining nothing. Then she shut off in embarrassment.

Ruby sat there for several minutes. Apparently Pennys father did not give her any sexual parts for some reason. Ruby thought that was mean of him.

Just then, Jaune came in. He always used this obscure mostly empty room for crying about Pyhrra, which he had been doing more since the attack from the white fang a few weeks ago. He turned and saw the two girls sitting on the bed, one of them wearing very little.

"AHHH!"

Ruby and Jaune yelped and Jaune rushed out of there, breathing hard. "I- I- didnt see anything!" He shouted before running off.

Ruby hurriedly dressed Penny and hid her under the bed before anyone else showed up.

__________________________________

"Aha! Got you now, Neo!" Yang put a card down. "I use Silver Eyed Sis!"

The card was really called Silver Eyed Ruby, but Yang was her sister.

Speaking of Ruby, she came stumbling in with her face all pink and worried looking.

"Ruby! Whats up? Wheres your 'Roomba?'" Yang asked, laughing a little.

"Pennys fine! Shes just... Off doing... Stuff with Ironwood! He came to pick her up! Hehe... See you guys tonight!" And Ruby scurried off to bed.

"That was weird." Yang said. Neo nodded in agreement.

Ruby lay in her bed, using her scroll to research how to restart Penny. But since Penny was one of a kind, only a few people knew and they didnt seem to say.

Ruby felt a weight in her stomach. "Ohhh... Im in trouble now..." She thought. And she was in a bit of a pickle. But dragons dont like pickles very much.

5 Days Of Living Plastic Free | Try Living With Lucie | Refinery29

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/5-days-of-living-plastic-free-try-living-with-lucie-refinery29-2/

5 Days Of Living Plastic Free | Try Living With Lucie | Refinery29

Im Lucie Fink and this week is 5 Days of dwelling Plastic Free. Hey every body, and welcome again to check out residing with Lucie. We’re back with new episodes this year, and weren’t gonna have videos a week this yr, however we do have an whole new season coming at you, so keep tuned. Im above all excited for this subject due to the fact its something that i myself had been diving into in my view over the final few months, and that is dwelling plastic free. If youre an avid are attempting dwelling with Lucie viewer, you might don’t forget that years back I did five days of no trash. I didnt produce any waste for 5 entire days and this subject of residing plastic free is kinda equivalent, but the essential change is that this time i am specializing in plastic.So why plastic, you would ask. Good, in keeping with a Refinery29 article, plastic takes at least four hundred and fifty years to break down, and a few doesnt ever spoil down. Ever. With the aid of the 12 months 2050, its estimated that there might be extra plastic within the sea than fish. In contrast to what I discovered from Spongebob back in the day, the smallest creature within the sea, Plankton, shouldn’t be absolutely all for consuming Krabby Patties everyday. However plankton are genuinely consuming the small particles that drift by means of the ocean. And in todays world, those small particles comprise microplastics. In actual fact, ground down plastics or small bits of plastics from matters like the microbeads in face wash. So the plankton devour the microplastics, then the better fish devour the plankton, and sometimes larger fish additionally consume better pieces of plastic, after which we as humans devour the larger fish.So the plastic that had been utilizing is slowly making its method back up the food chain, to us. Earlier than diving into this episode, I knew simply the girl I had to visit, Lauren Singer. Shes the zero waste guru who I featured in 5 Days of No Trash. Three years worth of trash, right inside of this jar. So on Sunday, I went to her bundle Free save in Brooklyn, and she or he helped to guide my five day venture. What Ive learned through this approach of casting off plastic from my existence is that I used to be making use of some distance more products than I truely wanted.Society form of tells us that we’d like 4 hundred things to appear and suppose our great, and what I realized is that thats no longer proper. I will have one bar of cleaning soap that i use for shampoo and my physique, i can have one face product. I can be more with much less. On Monday, we are going to focus on the kitchen and seem for objects that we can to find multi-use, non-plastic possible choices for. The kitchen is the discipline of my home where I in the beginning assumed that I used the most plastic. I sincerely had already made many of those swap outs months ago. However on Monday, I went through my entire kitchen to make sure that I was overhauling the whole lot. So pause the video, get out a pen and paper and write these swap outs down.Number one, cut out all plastic wrap and dangle wrap, and replace it with reusable beeswax wrap. The one that i exploit is washable, reusable, and compostable. Two, not ever use a plastic straw again. For those who love ingesting from straws, replace them with stainless steel straws. That is now how I drink. If you want to use a compostable paper straw, thats better, however just make sure youre no longer utilizing any plastic straws on the grounds that these are rather dangerous to marine lifestyles.Number three, stop buying paper towels that come wrapped with plastic or are themselves filled with chemical substances and rather use reusable rags or cloths to your kitchen. And number four, cut out all plastic meals storage containers and as an alternative use glass or stainless steel containers. If you want some recommendations of different kitchen swap outs, which you could change ice dice trays or popsicle molds with stainless-steel or silicone trays. That you could pick to make use of a glass blender as opposed to a plastic one. That you could making an at dwelling composting bin in your freezer so that they can lessen your want for plastic rubbish luggage. And one more factor you are able to do is eliminate your utilization of plastic cups, plastic plates, or any napkins that come wrapped in plastic. Many of the gadgets that youve already visible and are going to look within the leisure of this video came from package deal Free keep, and the first-rate information is they present international shipping, so for everybody out there that wishes to buy these items, Im gonna put a link to their keep in the description field.Start making a checklist for yourself, and as quickly as youre done gazing this video, begin shopping those zero waste swap outs. On Tuesday, have been going to center of attention on the place I started my zero waste journey, which is with personal care objects. I had at the start assumed that the kitchen used to be where most of my plastic usage was coming from, but because it seems, its certainly the lavatory and my private care routine. Even within the first thirty minutes of many peoples day, theyve already touched a plastic toothbrush, a plastic toothpaste tube, a plastic soap dispenser, disposable plastic razors, face wipes in plastic wrappers, dental floss in plastic containers, and the record goes on and on and on.So listed here are some plastic free swap outs in your toilet. Swap those plastic razors for a metal safeguard razor. Discontinue buying makeup remover wipes or single use cotton pads that come wrapped in plastic. As a substitute use a average make-up doing away with oil with reusable cotton rounds or reusable cotton face wipes. Eliminate all physique soaps, shampoos, and conditioners that are available in plastic bottles, and prefer physique soap bars and also shampoo and conditioner bars, or find shampoos and conditioners that are available in 100 percentage recyclable and refillable aluminum bottles. Swap out your plastic loofah for a ordinary bathtub sponge. No more plastic deodorant sticks. Instead use glass jars that have cream deodorant. Restrict all plastic dental floss containers which absolutely incorporate synthetic dental floss, and alternatively use one hundred percent silk refillable dental lace that is available in glass jars. And of path, say goodbye to your plastic toothbrushes and choose a bamboo one instead. If youre something like me, at the finish of this process, youre gonna have plenty of empty bottles and containers that you simply dont understand what to do with.I take advantage of the personal care and grace recycling application from TerraCycle which is thoroughly free. You simply comply with the recommendations on their internet site which in actual fact has you separate out the suitable waste which winds up being simply a lot of caps. Then they acquire it for you without spending a dime, and its made into new recycled merchandise. On Wednesday, were gonna take this to the streets and observe plastic-free residing out within the wild. So what are some hints and tips for humans who’re simply dwelling in the real world, they wish to be semi-typical people on the go, how can they scale back their plastic? The first thing that I think about is the right way to prepare.So if youre ready for your day, its a lot much less seemingly that youll come across a situation the place you dont have the instrument that you just want. My basic everyday tools are quite a reusable bag, my reusable espresso cup which can be utilized as a water bottle, after which I consistently have a bit of package of a fork, knife, and spoon with me and that helps quite a bit on account that if I do get food on the go, I dont have got to use a plastic set of utensils. I will use my possess and it feels lots nicer to consume off of bamboo or chrome steel than it does plastic. Its the going out and about part that makes residing plastic free extra complex for the reason that various the time, single use plastics are there for our convenience when had been on the go.For instance, if were on the transfer and we dont wish to carry meals with us we can simply opt for up food on the go in a plastic container and eat it fairly speedily using plastic utensils. If were thirsty on the go, we will just take hold of a drink in a plastic bottle. If were out there browsing on the go, and we dont have something to hold our new gadgets dwelling in, the store will supply us a plastic bag to place our stuff in. So these single use plastics are making things a little bit less complicated for us, but a whole lot worse for the planet. And surely, a whole lot worse for us too ultimately. So on Wednesday, I just tried to reside a common day trip and about without utilizing plastic. And then I came up with a entire record of matters that should remain prime of intellect for you if you want to take a look at residing plastic free on the go.First, convey your possess reusable cup around with you. Whether its for refilling water on the go or handing it to a barista and asking them to make your drink proper in it, Tip #1 is to literally by no means purchase a plastic bottle again except its an absolute emergency and youre gonna faint of dehydration. On Wednesday, I went to Dough, which is my favorite donut shop in New York city. I surpassed them my mason jar, I asked them to make me an iced tea proper inside it. And no straw, please. After which I received 4 donuts in a compostable cardboard box, and it was once a pleasant morning.Tip #2 is take reusable bags with you anyplace you go. That manner if youre shopping, you can at all times simply throw the objects within the bag and you by no means ought to get a plastic bag again. If youre a type of folks who normally forgets to carry the luggage with you, preserve them in rather handy places round your home. Under your sink, keep them round your desk at work, tuck them into the bottom of your backpack so you invariably have one when youre out and about.And if youre a relatively forgetful man or woman perhaps are attempting having the tote that you carry your telephone and your keys and your pockets in be a reusable tote bag that you need to use to place groceries and other objects in. Number 3, for foods at work, preserve a collection of reusable utensils on your desk drawer. Ive had the same set of bamboo utensils for 2 years now and that i just handwash them after each and every use. Number four, begin shopping in bulk instead of buying matters that come wrapped in plastic. This zero waste market package is from package deal Free and it comes with the whole thing that youre seeing proper here. And lastly, if in case you have any plastic luggage just stashed away at house from earlier trips to the grocery store, or if youre like me and you have got baggage of bags, simply deliver them again to the shop you got them from for recycling. And an additional tip that I already stated in 5 Days of Going Zero Waste is if youre ever eating out, ask your server or your barista to serve you your meals with out a coaster, and no serviette.There are plenty of tiny changes that you would be able to make. Matters like getting your ice cream in a cone as an alternative of in a cup with a plastic spoon, and even switching to all ordinary chewing gums that dont come wrapped in plastic and dont without a doubt include plastic themselves. Yes, most gums have synthetic plastics in the gum. The pleasant way to making these alterations is to identify the areas of your life where the alterations must be made. So making a plastic tracker. Any time you come upon plastic for your every day existence, jot it down and then begin making swap outs. On Thursday, good center of attention on plastic free and secondhand apparel. So can we speak just a little bit about what is actually occurring and the way rapid fashion is affecting landfills? So the typical American sends about seventy pounds of textile waste to landfill every year which, for all american citizens, thats about sixteen million tons of textile waste which is a significant quantity of trash.One thing that I do to restrict that’s retailer secondhand. Theres even condominium choices like appoint the Runway which makes it really high-quality and handy to get cool clothing without collaborating in this like single use rapid fashion culture. Speedy fashion is a primary drawback in relation to plastic. Ive in reality been looking to do an entire 5 day task round sustainable fashion, thrifting, and looking secondhand.So remark below when you wanna see that. But in the meantime, on Thursday I took one small step towards lowering my artificial microfiber pollution. In case you havent heard the term rapid trend, it refers to development chasing and low cost clothing thats produced fairly quickly via mass market shops. Im very guilty of purchasing these clothes considering the fact that number one, theyre adorable. And two, theyre low-cost. But on top of the negative working conditions for the makers of this clothing, most of the textiles and artificial materials utilized in speedy fashion simply dont ruin down. Thankfully, in line with a Refinery29 article, the fashion enterprise pendulum is establishing to swing toward the desire for more aware clothing. And even as theres still an extended technique to go, a few matters you can do right now are: quantity one, start shopping for garments which can be made with recycled materials.Quantity two, when youre completed with garb, rather of throwing it away, donate it. And then if you wish to substitute those objects on your closet, change them with secondhand gadgets. And number three, while you order garments on-line, to find on-line stores that offer plastic free cargo choices. One other tip is to scrub your garb much less most commonly due to the fact for those who do have artificial apparel, each and every and every time you run that washing computer, youre releasing extra microplastic particles into the ocean. As a substitute, simply are attempting doing spot contact-u.S.A.By hand to the areas that have to be cleaned. On Thursday, I went by way of my closets and that i donated two baggage of garb. And every time Im in a position to top off these items, in poor health be shopping at a secondhand retailer. On Friday, good talk about whatever that makes me particularly, relatively excited, weirdly. Which is a plastic-free interval. Durations! Im getting a bit of bit personal now, but it surely in order that happened that on Friday, as I was capturing this episode, it occurred to be that time of the month for me. And generally, throughout my interval id be using a tampon with a plastic applicator or a type of panty liner pads that has a plastic piece that you simply peel off to make it sticky.I know that there are cardboard tampon applicators and organic cotton tampons, but on Friday I wanted to head all in, no pun intended, and check out the least wasteful choice. Menstrual cup. Menstrual cup. What is it? How do you utilize it? So a menstrual cup is a bit silicone cup. Its about that tremendous. And also you basically squeeze it in half, after which fold it again.
