Derek Week Day One: Pinky Promise

Entry for the first day of @derek-week-event ‘s Derek Week! I wanted to just start with something moderately simple that also visually portrays the warmth and coziness that I associate with Luella and Derek’s relationship. The other pieces will probably have their actual faces and appearances LOL

I also liked the idea of giving Derek a bandaid because I personally think that, given all the sports he was in, and his active family, he’d get quite a bit of scratches and cuts.

Also I think Luella’s chipped nail polish is very cute for her younger self…

I apologize for tumblr tanking the quality ahh

I decided to be insane and drew another comic page

Derek x MC Week Day 3: Pining

And a little bonus (after successfully driving over and spiriting him away from football practice)

Day 3: Pining!

Sometimes you just want to run away and stay at the same time

Is the line too cheesy lol

Anyway, "Soiree" (is this the right name??) is such a great moment in my opinion, especially if you're coming with Derek!

Once again, a huuuge shoutout to @derek-week-event :3

Btw the anatomy ended up a bit wacky since I really like to challenge myself with hard poses and angles I guess

[ Day 2: Hanging Out ]

Taking the bus back to Prism Vista City after the whole father’s day ordeal… MC’s first father’s day :))

The DLC was so cute it definitely pushed Derek to my favorite after playing it :(

Day 2: Hanging Out Wren is pretty competitive and really into sports, like Derek! So it makes sense why they would really get along when they were younger. @derek-week-event One day I'll spend more then a minute on colouring and rendering... Also shoutout to the clipart soccer ball because I couldn't be bothered (((°▽°)八(°▽°)))♪ Also yes, that's Cove and my Cove MC, Kel, in the background. Cove: Why are we even here?? Kel: IDK but do you wanna make daisy chains? *Wren and Derek playing some serious soccer*

Also shoutout to this pic because I could NOT figure out how to draw kids playing soccer... Like my brain is limited...

Derek x MC Week Day 2 - Hanging Out

Hosted by @derek-week-event

Set after Step 4

In the early hours of the morning, before the sun had made itself known to Prism Vista City, Patricia Smithe took her first steps out of bed for the day. She looked back and smiled at her boyfriend, Derek Suarez. The both of them were early risers and being the first to wake up had become a point of pride for each of them. After accepting her victory she slipped out of the room. She decided to make herself a cup of tea and relax on the couch before getting ready for the day.

Just as the first rays of the morning sun peeked over the horizon Patricia could hear the sounds of another ray of sunshine walking up behind her. Derek slipped his arms around her shoulders, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and said, "Good morning."

Patricia kissed him back and returned his "Good morning." With that Derek made his way around the couch and got comfortable next to her.

After a few more minutes of watching the sky light up together Patricia asked, "Aren't you going to get ready for your morning workout?"

Derek responded by snuggling up closer and saying, "Nah. I think I'd rather spend this morning hanging out right here." At that they returned their attention to the rising sun and the warmth of each other's company.

Day 2: Hanging out!!

(THE QUALITY UGH- click on the art to make it better😞)

Again, can't thank @derek-week-event enough for hosting this event :33

A little silly continuation of the image above (and a bit of MC info...)

Derek: "So what do you say about doing summer homework tomorrow? If you are free, of course!"

Aoi: *drops dead* "...no :("

Aoi always tries to somehow impress his crush (Derek) and his love language is quality time. He is great at sports, but has one of the lowest grades in school, even though he tries to study properly (it doesn't help). And so when Derek asks to do homework together Aoi is usually torn between not wanting to embarass himself so pathetically in front of his crush by not understanding maths and... everything else... and wanting to spend time with him😔

Day 3: Pining Step 3 Wren and Derek are dumb... If only they talked to each other??? Emotions are weird... Also I'm more seeing Wren as a side character and not the main MC of the OLBA game (aka being raised by Noelani and Pam). Their story keeps coming to me in DROVES. One day I may write it out. :))) @derek-week-event

Day 3: Pining (Derek Suarez x Larisa Last (MC))

@derek-week-event

summary: Larisa has a phone call with Derek which in turn, leads her to think about the deal that had made right before summer ended.

if you’d rather read it on ao3 it’s right here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59182804

It was Friday, and school had just ended for the day. Larisa opened the front door to her house, relieved that the weekend was here. She quickly closed the door behind her and kicked off her shoes.

Larisa hurriedly greeted her moms before heading upstairs to finish her homework—who gives homework on the weekends? Larisa’s worst enemy: her math teacher, Ms. Woodstill. Once she reached her room, Larisa tossed her backpack onto her bed before flopping down and groaning a bit. After her groaning session, she pulled herself up from her comfortable bed, grabbed her backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out the worksheet that was stuffed inside.

After placing the worksheet on her desk, she smoothed out the wrinkles caused by carelessly stuffing the paper into her bag. Larisa then plopped down in her desk chair and got to work.

—

It took her a while, but she finally finished her assignment. As Larisa stretched her back, she stood up and stuffed the worksheet back into her backpack.

Guess all that smoothing out was for nothing, huh?

Anyways, Larisa rushed out of her room, making her way to the home phone downstairs. As she did, she crossed her fingers, hoping no one got to the phone before her.

When she made it to the living room, Larisa let out an internal sigh of relief, seeing the phone in its cradle. She lifted it into one hand and quickly entered a phone number, bouncing her leg excitedly as she waited for someone to pick up.

“Hello, Suarez residence,” she heard a familiar feminine voice say.

“Hello, Mrs. Suarez! This is Larisa! Um, is Derek available?” She tried her best not to sound too excited. “Hey, Larisa!” Mrs. Suarez hummed, “Yes, he is. Hold on a moment; I’ll get him.” Larisa grinned and started to play with the hem of her skirt. “Thank you!”

Larisa made sure to call Derek every week, eager to keep him updated on everything happening in Sunset Bird. Well, it’s more like she was eager to talk with Derek.

Soon, Larisa heard Derek’s voice come through the phone speaker. “Larisa, hey!” She returned his greeting and made idle chatter with him as she went back into her room. “So, how’s school been so far?” Derek asked as Larisa sat on her bed. “It’s been… okay,” she began. “Some of my classes are really stressful, but I’m Larisa Last; I can handle it.” She chuckled, laying back on her bed with the phone still in hand. “Right, you can! Just know that I’m here to support you no matter what. We’re still Team Last, after all!” Derek’s words made Larisa’s smile grow softer and her stomach flutter. “Right!”

For some odd reason, Derek’s words made her think back on that deal they had made—about getting married if they were still single when they were older.

Larisa imagined wearing a beautiful, colorful wedding dress and what Derek would look like dressed in a tasteful suit. Well, if they do get married in the future, Cove has to be Larisa’s best man. Er, butler of honor?

‘What’s the masculine version of maid of honor?’ she wondered to herself.

Anyways, the wedding cake would be chocolate because chocolate is the best flavor of all time, obviously. The cake would be covered in pastel frosting with white edible decorations. It would take place somewhere fancy.

Oh, yes! Larisa was getting excited just thinking about it! She just had to be patient and wait ten years, then she and Derek would have their perfect wedding.

Her daydream was soon interrupted by the man of the hour speaking up. “Uh, Larisa? Everything alright?” he asked, concerned.

“Hm? Sorry, I was lost in thought…” Larisa responded, embarrassment creeping over her. “Anyways, how’s school been for you?” She tried to keep her voice as neutral as possible.

“Don’t sweat it!” Derek said. “School’s been alright. I’ve mainly been focusing on sports and stuff.” Larisa acknowledged this before continuing to talk with Derek.

Unfortunately, their conversation was cut short by the familiar sound of stomping. The stomper opened the door, and there she was—Elizabeth. Larisa’s giddy smile was replaced by a small pout, realizing that she had been on the phone for too long.

Elizabeth smirked at the sight and stated matter-of-factly, “Time’s up.”

“Sorry, Derek, I gotta go. Bye!” Larisa sighed as she said her goodbyes. “I understand. Talk to you later!” he replied. Larisa pressed the end call button, but before she knew it, the phone was whisked out of her hand, and Elizabeth was out of her room.

Thankfully, she closed the door behind her.

—

Larisa was finally alone in her room—alone with her thoughts.

She hopped off her bed and grabbed her sketchbook and pencil that were tossed on top of her dresser. With her sketchbook in hand, Larisa flopped back onto her bed. She smiled to herself and opened up her sketchbook to a blank page.

Holding the pencil properly, she began to sketch a figure similar to herself. After cleaning up the sketch a bit, Larisa carefully drew out a wedding dress.

She pulled the pencil away from the paper and looked over her drawing. The dress was fitted at the top and then flowed at the bottom; it was sleeveless and floor-length. Larisa put the eraser part of the pencil to her lips, pondering what color the dress should be.

Purple? Light blue? Or would a passionate red be more suited? Or should she stick with pastel?

‘Whatever,’ she thought, closing her sketchbook and sitting up to stretch. ‘Ten years is a long way away; I have enough time to decide.’

Larisa hoped that no one would steal Derek’s heart before then.

She put away her sketchbook for safekeeping as she continued to ponder her future with Derek.

‘If we get married, I want Derek to take my last name. Derek Last… would he be okay with that?’ Larisa smiled to herself as she started to head out of her room. ‘I guess I wouldn’t mind being Larisa Suarez.’

She twisted the doorknob, opened the door, and left the sanctuary of her room, thoughts of her and Derek swirling in her mind.

Derek x MC Week Day 3 - Pining

Hosted by @derek-week-event

Set between Steps 3 and 4

Mario's tires squealed as he drifted around the corner. A built up boost rushed him towards the finish line. First place was his for sure! But little did he know that Waluigi was right behind him with a green shell prepared. With the precision of a sniper Waluigi threw the shell and hit Mario square on. Mario's kart spun out and Waluigi passed right on by. Then DK, then Toad, then a red shell hit Mario, then Bowser, Rosalina, and Toadette passed him, then Wario hit Mario with a bullet bill to pass by too, then Ludwig and Dry Bones went past as well, finally Mario was allowed to move forward and claim tenth place.

In real life Patricia fell back on the couch in her dorm and groaned. "How could you do this to me?"

In his apartment, miles away, Derek responded, "Sorry, but all's fair in love, war, and Mario Kart."

Patricia laughed at that. "Man... You're lucky you aren't sitting next to me. I would pull out some of your dad's tactics next race."

"Then I would have to borrow some tricks from Nico," countered Derek. That got the two of them laughing again.

When the laughter calmed down Patricia said, "It would be nice to see you in person again though."

"Yeah. That would be nice," said Derek, "That would be nice." Neither of them could break out of their thoughts to say anything else. Derek broke the silence by saying, "It sucks to be busy adults, huh?"

"It does!" said Patricia, "Do you think you'll be able to make it down to Sunset Bird this summer?"

"I'll try my best!" said Derek. A response that had become an unfortunately familiar trend when it came to discussing breaks. After that they returned their focus to the game.

PULL UP THE TRUMPETS- cause it's the royal au for today's @derek-week-event 's theme, AU.

Okay please get my visions, as kids they used to see each other during royal banquets but grew with distance as this events stopped to happens frequently, keeping contact through letters and pinning for a decade before they could meet again....
