Gimme ur best Takeomi headcanons, relationship or not, let’s go

I love u, and him too, and I will now take all my pent up frustration of today and output it into these headcanons. Have fun

Takeomi Kuroiwa

Slight NSFW

When he was a small boy, he accidentally broke a lot of things and always felt really bad about it, until his father told him it wasn’t his fault.

He’s allergic to fur, but really wants a bunny or a hamster. Takeomi really loves fluffy animals (and watches cute cat videos regularly, in secret).

His favourite colours are Orange and Purple.

I feel like he wouldn’t have the best relationship with his father, because he always fall into his shadow rather than being his own person. It hurts him.

Takeomi is a very family oriented person! He likes children and loves the idea of having two or even three of his own.

He has a soft spot for chocolate cake and sugar cookies; or sweets overall.

I headcanon Takeomi as Bi or Pan. I feel like he doesn’t mind what gender his s/o is as long as he loves them and they love him.

I think he really likes board games.

Once kuramoto helped him with the concept of Snapchat and Instagram to them understand better, he made an account where he posts cool dishes he gets at restaurants in his spare time and likes taking pictures of his friends and cute animals.

Takeyori:

Not a fan of this ship so don’t expect much

Takeomi really loves how kindhearted and genuine Yoriko is.

He occasionally tries to help her while cooking.

Yoriko is the one who always does his tie in the morning because she really enjoys it, even if Takeomi can do it by himself.

She is good at picking up on his emotions even with the blank look he usually has.

Takuki

comfort ship time, I love them my favourite ship in the entire series bye

It takes a lot of time and talking for Urie and Takeomi to get together.

But once they do they’re practically inseparable, especially due to how much Urie has lost in his life - he is afraid of losing another person close to him.

Urie can get jealous quite easily.

Takeomi really likes cuddling Urie close to his chest, and even though Urie won’t admit he really likes it too.

Urie really dislikes sweets, but has such a soft spot for Takeomi he is willing to heartily eat anything sweet Takeomi makes for him.

Takeomi loves cooking for Urie.

Urie is way too stubborn to be a bottom. But once, he gives in and becomes the very definition of a power bottom.

Takeomi is extremely loyal to Urie and often verbally reminds him of that.

If Urie is getting any more obsessive thoughts or having another breakdown - Takeomi always rushes to his side to be a steady force in his life.

With a s/o

Takeomi is a very loving boyfriend and an even more loving husband.

Once again, he is very loyal and treats his s/o with so much respect at all times.

He appreciates anything his s/o makes for him, whenever it’s food or one of their hobbies, he will be very thankful for it and will cherish it greatly.

Because of how much time he spends at work usually, he’ll feel slightly bad for how long he’s leaving his s/o on his own and will text them throughout the day. When he comes back, he often gifts them flowers or chocolates and give them any missed affection they wished for.

He’s extremely patient with his s/o in everything, any situation. Takeomi is willing to take any situation slow and help them ease into absolutely anything. He is there for them at all times and tells them that often.

His work is dangerous and he is aware he may die, so he cherishes his moments with them a lot and often tells them he loves them. A lot.

He takes things very carefully and gently in bed, he’s aware of his own strength and does not want to accidentally hurt them when he’s lost in the grips of passion. Takeomi is very loving and considerate in all his actions.

He makes the dictionary meaning of making love pale in comparison to how he takes things with his s/o.

Takeomi is naturally very calm, and if anybody is harassing his s/o he will try to talk things out and sort them fairly; but god forbid anyone raised their hand onto them or tries to physically harm them and he will not hesitate to jump into their defence immediately. He swears no harm will be done onto them.

He really wants children with his s/o; adopted or their own he really doesn’t mind.

Caramel Skin Under A Purple Rain prt 41 full draft

Nursing his broken heart, Lance kept his tears inside. After quintants of being paraded around as “The Red Paladin”, with a gruelling roster of 3 days planet side, one day recovery, then 3 days again, he’d lived through the start of the tour. He’d shut down the things that caused him pain. He shut down the side of him that hurt with each stare or whisper. He shut down the panic that hit each time he was separated from Keith. And foolishly, he’d started secretly looking forward to his birthday after Keith booked them a table at what was supposed to be Daibazaal’s finest restaurant. Quiznak knew they deserved it. Some races were very “handsy”, as in they showed a lot of physical contact with those trusted. Dining had been an experience in itself. The third or fourth planet they’d been to had served them a huge celebrity meal, where they all sat on the floor around the low tables and feasted. With the members of their ruling government interested in getting to know each of them personally, they’d been split up around the table. Two heavy perfumed aliens spending vargas brushing against him repeatedly as he was questioned over he fell pregnant, and how mating customs differed between their races. He hated every tick of it. On another planet they’d insisted they change clothes because “they wanted their guests to be comfortable”. The sheer robes exposed too much of his breasts and belly for him to be completely with the outfit. Keith having the same concerns as he did, for entirely different reasons. He was soon in trouble for keeping his boots on. There was no way in quiznak he was taking them off, but they hadn’t separated from his husband’s side, so they’d jumped in his mental rankings for that. Keith had been especially happy that they got to keep the robes they’d been lent. Then there was the last planet they’d been on. The one he was supposed to be on. It was arid. Arid. Hot. Sandy. And plain gross when you’re 20 weeksish? pregnant and riding in the back of a “camel pulled wagon”. The beasts were massive hulking things, covered in thick fur that served to keep the heat out... and trapped every dead thing on the planet in it by the scent. The back of the wagon was largely uncovered, leaving them melting in the burning heat of twin suns. With his body unable to read the temperature properly, he’d ended up dehydrated with what felt like half the desert down his throat. They’d all ended up in various shades of dehydration. Their thirst going unquenched until they reached the oasis that was their planet’s capital. Daehra and Lucteal may have come from a desert planet, but visiting them didn’t require the long trip through the desert. No that was a nice trip with visit parking right outside. The recruits were allowed to land the pod, they’d take from the oasis back to the Atlas, by the city gates, waiting for them to arrive in relative comfort beneath the shade of the wooden walls. This “desert thing” was some honoured tradition they’d brought back to life after the Galra were defeated. Being so busy, Lance found it understandable that Keith would forget his birthday. He hadn’t broached the subject. He hadn’t reminded Keith the night before. The whole morning when they getting ready for the day, he’d said nothing as he waited for Keith to turn it a joke over forgetting. Krolia hadn’t. She was the only one to wish him a happy birthday before the party left to join up with the Atlas. Keith was concerned when he mentioned he wasn’t going with the rest of them, Lance smoothly lying that he needed the rest. It as more something he’d been trying to deny rather than a real lie. He was exhausted. Keith was constantly telling him that he didn’t need to stay for every bit of the talks, but bailing felt rude. Their hours were long, Lance barely conscious outside of the hours he had to play Paladin. It’d only take a varga or two for him to start falling asleep. He was pretty sure he’d fallen asleep mid dinner talks the night before, possibly offending their hosts as he did. “Lance, we’re ready to see you now” There went his last silent prayer that Keith would be there for the scan. He’d already asked reception if it was possible to find out the sex of the twins, wanting to surprise Keith and it was kind of his birthday wish to know. Gathering his jacket, he climbed to his feet slowly, one hand on his bump as he did. Walking over to the nurse, he forced a smile to his lips, which wavered as she tried to make conversation “Keith not able to join us today?” “Uh, no. He’s in negotiations with a Coalition planet today” “Oh, that’s right. You’ve been touring. The children have enjoyed watching your travels. You’ve always been a favourite of theirs” “They’re good kids” “They miss your visits. Just in here...” Reunited with the obstetrician from hell, his doctor was waiting as Lance was shown into the examination room and directed over to the bed. Setting his jacket at the end of the bed, Lance climbed up, laying back and exposing his stomach. He would have preferred to go to Erathus for the scan, had he known he’d be alone. The nurse starting to set the scanner up as Lance tried to get comfortable. Keith was supposed to be here for this. He was supposed to be holding his hand, and standing by his head, waiting to see their children... “Lance. How you been?” Rolling over in his chair, apparently he didn’t warrant the his doctor getting up. Manoeuvring the holopad in his hands, the man looked up at him until he realised he was actually supposed to reply “Alright. Stressed. Tired. Sick. The usual” “I’ve heard. I heard you were drugged and spent a few days in a pod. It’s reckless to act in such a way while you’re pregnant” He was attacked. He didn’t go looking for the damn fight “I also see you took it upon yourself to make some modifications to your medication” “I couldn’t keep the pills down” His doctor shot him a scathing look over his holopad, then continued “I also see you’ve developed allergies... you’re clearly still underweight. I assume you haven’t been eating properly?” “I have” He had too. He’d been making an effort, especially with all the alien food he’d been made to eat. He’d run out of ration bars, but avoiding the things he was allergic too had helped keep his stomach settled. More settled than it had been at any rate “Right. Now. Today you want to know the sex? Is Keith aware of this?” “Yes. He did want to be here, but negotiations for the Coalition are ongoing” If Lance had sounded anymore salty, the universe’s supply of tequila and limes would have been in trouble “Very well. I’ll be taking blood samples then we’ll do your scan” “Blood samples?” “For genetic testing purposes. I assume you wish to know if your children are genetically disformed?” “I thought they were fine” “They may have been but you’ve been abusing your body” Lance clamped his mouth firmly close, grinding his teeth as he did. Tears prickled in his eyes, but he wasn’t going to give this arsehole the satisfaction of seeing him cry. He just wanted to go home. He should have brought Kosmo with him, or messaged Coran. He couldn’t handle being treated like shit by someone who was supposed to be a trained professional. He didn’t even know what he’d done to warrant such a cold attitude. Blood samples were taken from him and his twins. The needle horrifically long, and Lance didn’t understand why the DNA of his twins couldn’t be processed out of his blood. They could pretty much get a whole genetic profile from a single drop of blood, so why did he have to be stabbed in the stomach twice and put his twins through the pain? When his sample was being taken, the nurse missed the vein, leaving his elbow tender and rushing to bruise. She wasn’t to blame. He’d jumped at the prick against his skin. She’s apologised profusely. It felt as if she was also scared of her bosses bad mood, which made him feel that tiny bit better to know he wasn’t alone. As his doctor went about processing the blood samples to be sent for analysis, the nurse set the scanner and projector up. Casting a quick glance to her boss, to ensure he was busy, she looked back to him and raised a finger to her lips. Pulling the image of the twins up on the screen, she zoomed in for him. They’d grown so much since he’d last seen them. Their tiny chests moving, their heads and noses so well formed his heart ached. Moving into the spot where Keith should of been, his nurse manipulated the image, whispering to him “We’re lucky, we’ve got two very nice clear shots already. Do you still want to know what you’re having?” “Yeah...” “Baby one, on the left is a little boy. You can see his genitals here...” Never in his life had he ever been interested in the genitals of a child. Yet their son... they were having a boy... “Wow” “It is something, isn’t it?. I’ve sent the photos to be printed so you can collect them from reception on the way out” Fuck. He wished he could remember her name so he could thank her properly “And baby number two... is also a boy. Congratulations. Both your babies look nice and healthy, a bit big for weeks. You can see here, they’re a healthy 29 centimetres and 27.5 centimetres long. They seem to have suffered no obvious signs of trauma from your attack” If Keith was there, he’d make some joke about being relieved because “girls were scary”. Two little boys... that hopefully looked more like his husband than him “The pod... they said there was womb damage” His nurse moved the image on the screen “I can see some light scaring on your uterine wall, hmm... I’m not completely sure. You may want to monitor that further along. Your blood pressure up. Though that may be due to the tour. If possible, maybe see if you can cut back your hours. Exercise is great. Your Earth Yoga will help keep you flexible” “Now, let’s see what we have here” Returning to his roller chair, the nurse moved to hand his doctor the holopad “Ah, yes. Two boys. You can tell by their genitalia. Weight and size are unexpectedly good. Heartbeats are strong. Right there you go. Two healthy boys... There is a slightly anomaly, I’ll need to review these scans. It’s a shame Keith couldn’t be here for this. I’ll book you in for another scan 5 movements. Your blood work, should I forward that to Daibazaal?” “Yeah... I guess?” Anomaly? The scar tissue? Couldn’t he say “scar tissue?”. The nurse had. Now he had his worry about with no answer. How could they be healthy and there be an anomaly? “Right then. You can go ahead and get organised. Take today easy. I’ll contact Daibazaal in regards to any changes in your medication” “Alright. Thank you” Collecting his jacket and straightening out his clothes, the nurse walked him out the reception. He still hadn’t remembered her name, but thanked her nonetheless. Confirming his next appointment, he took the small envelope of prints, and headed for the door. His tears forming as he walked. Keith was supposed to be here. He was supposed to be there when they learned what they were having. They’d thrown the idea of finding out around, but he’d just found out. Two tiny boys. Their sons... their twin boys... twins that Keith couldn’t even be there to see. It was his birthday and his husband had forgotten. He’d forgotten their kids... his promise to be there. He couldn’t count the number of promises Keith had been forced to break. So why did he get his hopes up each time that’d it finally be different? Why did it have to fucking hurt so badly? Keith was working. He had to work. The Coalition was filming everything they could of the tour. This wasn’t tour related, hence it’s unimportance to everyone. Their twins weren’t important... Emerging outside, Lance was momentarily blinded. Rubbing his watery eyes didn’t ask things better as all it did was reveal Keith and Shiro jogging towards him. He didn’t want to see either of them. Slowing as they reached other, Keith went to hug him, Lance pushing the envelope into chest firmly, so firmly that Keith stumbled back as he grabbed the envelope before it could fall “Babe...” “They’re boys. They’re both boys” Brushing past his husband, his jacket fell from his hold, Lance leaving it where it lay as he continued towards where he’d parked the pod Krolia had lent him for the trip out. Coming up behind him, Keith caught him by the arm, Lance tearing his arm out the hold “Don’t fucking touch me” “Babe...” “Leave me alone, Keith” “Hey... what’s going on with you?” “With me!? You broke your promise to be there! It’s my birthday, and you couldn’t care less if you tried! My one wish, and you couldn’t be bothered! If you can’t quiznakkig understand, Red!” Shrieking at his husband, he then turned to continue storming off “Lance...” Turning on Keith, Lance’s eyes narrowed as he snarled “Shut up! I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to see you! Don’t bother coming back to your quarters either. Sleep in your fucking ship for all I care!” He did care. He did but he was so fucking hurt. If Keith was going to be late, why hadn’t he or someone from his messaged him? Shiro could have messaged Coran. Anything would have been preferable to the endless and hopeless waiting... He felt so stupid waiting alone. He felt stupid because he’d said a hundred times he didn’t want something done for his birthday, but when it came down to it, it turned out he did. He wanted to be wanted... by Keith. He’d wanted his husband to be the first to wish him a happy birthday. Then for him to be annoying about it as they waited for the scan. He wanted to see Keith’s shocked happiness over the gender... be stupidly happy as they came out the appointment, then spend the rest of the day cuddled up in bed with Keith being an adorable idiot about it all. Now he wanted to go home. He wanted cuddles with Kosmo, and to escape his own stupidity. He wanted his Telula home. To lock himself away where no one would laugh at him for being the lovesick idiot he was. * Lance’s birthday wasn’t going how Keith planned. Mostly because he may have slightly thought it was the following week. He didn’t think it fell mid visit. The tour had been rough on all of them, the continued visits and attempting to follow all the local customs which he only seemed to get a hand of shortly before they’d leave the planet. Lance had been pushing himself so hard to make it through. He’d thrown up a wall between them that Keith thought would fall once Lance adjusted to their new schedule. He’d spent the morning stupidly clueless that it was his husband’s birthday that morning. His room wasn’t like their room at the outpost where Lance crossed off the Earth days that passed. He’d forgotten that his husband had organised the scan for the same day, believing his husband when he said he needed to rest... instead of... No, how could he expect Lance to bring up his own birthday when Keith hadn’t. He’d forgotten right up until Shiro was asking how Lance’s birthday was going. By then, it was too late. They’d already wormholed out to the Atlas, changed ship and made planet fall. Lance didn’t want a fuss made of his birthday as it was. He wanted a quiet day without a celebration. He wanted to go to his scan and then out for dinner in the evening... and Keith has forgotten all of it. He should have known when the recruits came to him the two quintants prior that it was coming up that week. He should have made a note in his comms. Somewhere. Anywhere. He’d fucked this up so badly. Then... then everything had been messed up further. The planet they were visiting had taken a liking to him. Drinks were brought out with the meal served while they negotiated what the planet needed in aid. Loosing track of time hasn’t been planned. They kept filling his cup and he kept drinking without thinking. His absentmindedness leading to him making errors with calculated aid amounts. His mother forced to apologise for him, explaining that Lance had a scan that Keith needed to leave to attend. Shiro offered to fly him, seeing the world had decided to spin as he was way drunker than he thought. By the time they reached the pod, he was already late. He knew Lance had issues with his obstetrician. He also knew he didn’t want the man alone with his husband. His internal angst continuing to grow over the fact he’d forgotten Lance’s birthday... which constantly smacked him in the face no matter how hard he tried to change his train of thought. Shiro's opinion was that he should apologise and talk it out. Lance wasn’t talking anything out. His husband wouldn’t even look at him properly, then glared at him so coldly Keith felt sick. This wasn’t... He knew Lance would be upset... He’d fucked up. He’d missed Lance’s scan... the scan where he found out they were having twin boys... boys... Lance was carrying their sons... and now he hated him. Burying his face in the jacket his husband had dropped, his body shook. He’d ruined the whole day for both of them. They were having boys... he’d been scared of having a girl. He didn’t know how to look after a girl... now he was having two sons. Not just... not just twins... their sons. They felt somehow even realer. Like they had all that more to lose if something was to go wrong. Wrapping his arms around him, Shiro rubbed his back “He’ll calm down” “He shouldn’t have to! I forgot today was his birthday!” “You’ve been...” “He was off last night. He was off this morning. Even the fucking recruits remembered” “You’ve been distracted. Lance made it clear that he didn’t want a fuss. When we get back to Daibazaal, you’ll sit down and you’ll talk to him” “He’d having twin boys... I missed his scan again...” “Boys...” “I missed it, Shiro. I missed the scan. On his birthday... I can’t fix this” “You’re still going out to dinner tonight...” “He told me to sleep in my ship. He doesn’t want to see me. You heard how upset he was. His obstetrician is horrible. He’s a jerk to him for no reason... He’s sent him into tears before” “Why hasn’t he transferred his medical care to Daibazaal?” “I think he can’t trust them... he’s suffering as it is. He’s still dealing with so many scents around him” “I thought he was doing better with what happened?” “That’s because he’s trying. You found it hard too... on Daibazaal. He doesn’t blame all of us for what happened, but that doesn’t mean he’s not scared. Especially after he was attacked. He’s trying... while I’m getting drunk on some planet that means nothing to me” “I noticed you were drinking fairly heavily” “I didn’t. I mean, my glass was always full... He said he’d leave if I hurt him again, and he stayed last time. What if he doesn’t stay this time?” “You’re not going to know, unless you talk to him. He’s not going to understand unless you talk to him” “I don’t have anything for him... I was going to get flowers... and... and have his ring ready... I was going to be able to tell him what happened... and... I was going to have a nice box for it. To surprise him with over dinner. I wanted to make it special for the right reasons” “We can still make it special” “No. Because he... he’ll know it was your idea” “You’re the one who told me you wanted to buy him flowers. I didn’t know you’d actually found his wedding ring. I thought it was still missing” It had been. Right up until the recruits had found it in pawn shop in the city. Listed at an exuberant price due to it being genuine, they’d contacted Kolivan who’d come down to personally retrieve the hair clip. The chain was still coated in Lance’s dry blood, confirming the item against Keith’s matching hair clip “Krystaal and Nerlo returned it. Well, they called Kolivan who had it examined then returned to the them so they could return it to me. The recruits were birthday shopping for him. Nerlo is like his biggest fan, so wanted to gift him something from all of them” Keith had been confused as quiznak when Krystaal has come up to him. He’d been so wrapped in Lance that he’d neglected his recruits and friends. Fiddling with something near his nape, Krystaal had taken the necklace off and Keith had nearly cried with happiness and shock. Keeping it from Lance had hurt. First he needed to clean it, he wasn’t returning it covered in his husband’s blood, thankfully Lance only wanted to sleep on their day off. He knew how excited he’d be to be reunited with it. Keith had been going to take his own off, but Lance preferred he kept wearing it, so he had. “And Lance didn’t want a party or any fuss” “There’s forgetting your husband’s birthday, and then there’s not making a fuss” “Well, we still have time to pick up the flowers, and get you a box for the necklace” “It’s going to be too little too late. He won’t...” “He’ll understand when you explain to him. So you’re having boys? That’s pretty... wow” “Quiznak” Tearing out of Shiro’s hold, the envelope was slightly soggy and crumpled from where it’d been smooshed against his face “It’s fine. We can flatten them back out” “I shouldn’t have to flatten them back out!” “Keith. You need to calm down. You can’t change the past, but you can make things better for him today” “I don’t think it’s going to work” “You won’t know if you don’t try. Let’s hit up Earth then I’ll drop you back on Daibazaal” Nodding was all he could. What kind of miserable arsehole forgot his husband’s birthday? * Alone in his misery, Lance had resisted the temptation to return to the outpost. Marco would make a fuss of his birthday. He didn’t want to see anyone. He just wanted to cry. So he was. Curled around his fur son, he cried until he’d cried himself to sleep, waking to the sound of someone knocking on the bedroom door with no idea of the time. Growling, Kosmo didn’t want to let him up, licking at the trails of tears on his cheeks “‘m ‘k, boy. If it was your father, he would have let himself in” Kosmo followed him off the bed, Lance’s left hand resting on his head as they shuffled over to the bedroom door. He knew he looked a mess, having changed into his pyjamas before climbing into bed with Kosmo. Hitting the hand reader, the door revealed Hunk on the other side, a small present in his hands “Happy birthd... Lance, what’s wrong?” Lance shook his head, wiping under his eyes as he sniffled “Hey, man. You didn’t have to come see m-me” His voice cracked. Hunk hated him... maybe not as much as he had... but they’d barely talked while on tour “It’s your birthday. Keith told us you didn’t want a big party. I made you a box of cupcakes. The same recipe as the ones at the baby shower” Choking on a sob, Lance took the box as Hunk offered them over “They were so good... but why are you doing this for me? I thought you were disgusted with me” “I’m not disgusted with you, bro” “I announced I was pregnant... and you left...” “Didn’t Krolia or Keith explain? I couldn’t serve you raw fish” Dabbing at his runny nose with the heel of his palm, Lance sniffled harder “I thought you were using it for a cover. I thought you hated me because I’m a freak” Choking out his words, Hunk pressed the tips of his fingers together “Um... maybe we should sit and talk? You don’t look too good” Kosmo growled at Hunk as Lance stepped back to let him in. The day couldn’t possibly get worse “Come in. Keith’s not coming back today” “He’s not?” “No. No. It’s ok. Sorry. I wasn’t expecting company” Their room wasn’t messy. No more than normal. Their normal at least. Keith had stopped picking up his clothes as he stripped off at the end of the day. They’d ended up piled up in the corner of the room to be washed, only to they lived there. Kosmo was loving dragging random bits of clothing into his bed when he wasn’t allowed to sleep on theirs. Sitting on the end of the bed, Kosmo clambered back up behind him, curling up and dropping his head in Lance’s lap with a disgruntled huff. Ruffling the fur between Kosmo’s ears, he huffed again. It was a hard life being so loved and spoilt “You wanted to talk?” “I’m sorry. I’m sorry you thought I was disgusted. It was a lot man... and I started realising how far apart we’d really drifted. I’m still confused... but I want to understand. You were my best bud, but I didn’t know what you were going through” Now Hunk was getting teary... “You weren’t supposed to” “Why? I thought we were friends” “We were. We were until life happened...” “Why didn’t you call?” “I did. I called and I messaged until I realised no one was responding, then I gave up. I stopped trying. I only answered the team calls because I didn’t want anyone knowing my business” “You could have told us” “Told you what? We all have jobs. What was I supposed to say? That I’m sick? That I have a permanent brain injury that causes seizures. I don’t want anyone’s pity. I don’t want you all treating me differently. I’m sick of it” “That you could get pregnant. Did you know?” “It was a surprise for both of us” “You... you don’t think it’s too soon? You and Keith say your married. You’re suddenly married and you’re having a baby. Is it safe? You’re not going to die because Keith...” Lance felt his top lip curling with offence “It’s not suddenly. I’m over 20 weeks. Keith and I have been married for over a year now... carrying his children might kill me, but I don’t care. I can’t get rid of them. I won’t get rid of them” Hunk held his hands up “That’s not what I meant. I wanted to know how you felt about everything, bro. You always wanted the big wedding, then you eloped. You’re both working such dangerous jobs. Barely seeing each other for phoebs... You ran away, then he ran away, then you were kidnapped and he was kidnapped, then you spent phoebs missing, only it wasn’t phoebs to you, then when you came back you both were in hospital for movements, and it’s a lot, man” Lance didn’t need a run down of what happened last year, no matter how fast Hunk rushed through the details. He’d been there. He’d been there and nearly gotten Keith killed over it. Leaning back, he rubbed his swollen stomach as his back complained over the position “This is nothing compared to what I’ve been through. I’ve changed. I’m not the same person I used to be. I cut out my own sector of space. I built my outpost from an abandoned outpost, and turned into a safe haven. I took a seedy club and turned that into the safest place on Erathus. The pregnancy was a surprise. The fact that we were married, was too. But so what if we’re married? It’s what we wanted” “I miss my friend, Lance. My best buddy. I miss game nights and training. You were always there, and now you’re so far away” Lance wanted to point out the truth of the matter, that they’d never have what they used to. They weren’t teens sharing a room. They weren’t Paladins trapped with no one else around. He didn’t want to be thrown away again when Hunk got busy. He didn’t want any more conversations where his friends asked Keith how he was doing, despite the fact he was standing right there “I can’t be that person again. I don’t know how. I know you’re scared. You’re scared that if we hang out I’m going to have seizure. If we hang out, there might be some pregnancy complication or I might have a panic attack, that you don’t know how to handle. Until you can figure out how you feel about that, we can’t fix this. I can’t handle fussing. I don’t want fussing. I don’t want you to be constantly on edge around me, or giving me special considerations because I’m damaged. Plenty of people get pregnant. Altean men can get pregnant. No one knows what’s going to happen, even with a “normal” pregnancy” “How am I supposed to not worry?” “Trust. Faith. Whatever you want to call it. Keith deals with this every day” “Isn’t that why you’ve been fighting?” “We’ve been fighting because he’s a colossal douche. Because he gets scared and forgets his words. He forgot my birthday. That’s why he won’t be back today. I don’t want to see him” “I’m sure he didn’t forget...” “He did. He did and he broke his promise. Thank you for the cupcakes, but I think I need rest. It’s tiring growing two humans” The sting of Keith forgetting hurt too much. Hunk was pissing him off. He was acting too concerned and he couldn’t take it. Both he and Hunk couldn’t take it. Lance couldn’t take being fawned over. Being treated as if he was weak. Hunk couldn’t stop treating him with kid-gloves, despite him asking him not to “Oh. Uh, yeah. Sure man. You’re welcome. I’ll let you get some rest. They don’t need to be refrigerated... Um... Happy birthday, man... I’ll see you tomorrow” “Yeah. I’ll see you then” The cupcakes were a welcomed treat, Lance waiting until Hunk was gone then opened the box to reveal four perfect cupcakes. Sharing with Kosmo, he’d taken a bite out the first one when he gagged. There was nothing wrong with the cupcake. No. His mind went to what his doctor said about him not eating. About him being underweight. He didn’t know how that was still possible. He ate for the sake of peace. The enjoyment he felt from eating had been stripped away. Some people found it erotic or arousing, but the idea of eating right now was rolling his stomach with disgust. He probably looked like a fat pig guzzling from a trough as he bit into the delicious sweet. Trying to chew, he found he couldn’t swallow. The word “disgusting”, deciding it has to be the fixation of his brain. He was disgusting. He ate wrong and did the wrong thing by his children. Returning the cupcake to the box, he then rushed to the bathroom where he spat out the bite in his mouth. Washing the evidence away, he brushed his teeth until his gums bled. Not that it was hard to make his gums bleed these days. Maybe this was the anomaly? His fat ugly stomach didn’t want him eating anymore because he was already gross... His doctor hadn’t called him disgusting, yet he obviously was. The man hated him. He hated him so much while Lance didn’t know what he’d done. Maybe he’d believed the rumours about him? Maybe he thought the killed Klearo’s child intentionally? That once he was done using him, he didn’t need the baby to secure his position? He shuddered to think of bringing the child into the world. People were quick to point out that the child was innocent in all of this, but he couldn’t separate that maternal love from the constant reminder of being raped. And what about the child? If they were to ever learn their heritage, they’d never be able to make peace with it. They’d always know the sins of their parent. They’d always know they’d be a reminder of that fear and terror. He wasn’t strong enough to love through all of that. Not himself. Not his attacker. Not his innocent child. It hadn’t mattered then anyway. He’d lost it before he’d understood. Was it his selfishness that his doctor hated? He didn’t know. He didn’t want to see him ever again... He didn’t want to see anyone ever again. He wanted the world to stop until he was ready for time to restart, when his head wasn’t filled with so much misery. * The lights were off when Keith entered his quarters. Earth had taken slightly longer than he’d planned because every little thing reminded him that Lance wasn’t there with him. He was sure he must have attracted the attention of more than one person as he and Shiro wandered around the shopping centre. He couldn’t stop crying every time he saw something he thought Lance would like. Shiro had stopped him from blowing every GAC in his bank account on a mountain of presents. One heartfelt present meant more than a hundred bought to ease his guilt. Flicking the lights on, his husband was curled up around Kosmo in the middle of their bed. His distress clogging Keith’s nose as he grew closer to the sleeping pair. His steps hesitant, as he grew teary again, nearly panicked over the thought of how to tell Lance how sorry he was. Sitting on his side of the bed, Lance woke with a start as his weight shifted the blankets. Rolling over, his eyes first widened then narrowed, before filling with tears “I don’t want to see you” “I know. I want to explain something first, then I’ll leave you alone” Turning his back on him, Lance wiggled closer to Kosmo. Dropping his gaze to the dozen red roses in his hands, he took a deep breath before summoning up his courage “You’re right. I did forget your birthday was today. I’m not going to use the tour as an excuse, I thought it was next week. I had it all planned. I knew how much today would secretly mean to you. I was going to wake up with you. Be the first to wish you a happy birthday. I was going to have flowers delivered to our room while we were taking a bath. Then we were going to go to your scan. I know you didn’t want a fuss made, so we were going to spend a few hours on Altea in the grass fields above the city, just us. When we came home, I was going to dress up in a suit, because you love that. Then I was going to take you out to dinner and give you your surprise. We... we found your wedding ring. It... I cleaned it up and I was going to have this really nice box... and I was going to slide it across to you at dinner. I wasn’t going to miss your scan... the tick I remembered, I wanted to come back... I made so many mistakes in the meeting today that I kept making it longer because I know I fucked up. I thought about playing the whole day cool, but I couldn’t do that on your birthday. You mean too fucking much to me... it was supposed to be perfect” Lance kept him hanging through several very pregnant moments of soul crippling silence. Keith feeling as if he’d been punched in the solar plexus as he struggled to breathe under the heavy silence “You didn’t even message me. You didn’t message me when you remembered... or after you figured you were going to be late. I was alone... I... I wanted to have you there... I asked and confirmed that we could find the sexes out because you were supposed to be there. It-it was the one thing I wanted for today... He told me there’s some anomaly. He treated me like shit... and you weren’t there... he said they’re healthy... but how can they be... when something’s wrong. He didn’t think they’d be healthy because I’m a bad parent... I’m too thin and I don’t care... and I work too much and I haven’t been working that much at all... and I’m not even good enough for him not to question why I was there alone” Keith was instantly infuriated. He wanted the man’s head on silver platter and an apology of mammoth proportions “Babe...” “Just leave me alone me alone. I can’t take hurting any more today” Placing the flowers on the bedside table, Keith forcibly pulled Lance off of Kosmo, grabbing him by the chin to force him to look at him. His husband looked wrecked. He looked sickly with his red rimmed eyes and washed out complexion, both of which came from his prolonged crying “You are not a bad parent. He doesn’t see how much work you’ve put into all of this. He doesn’t know how hard it’s been for you. He’s not the one going through this. You are. You’ve been working your arse off to take care of yourself and our twins. He is full of shit and shouldn’t be a practicing doctor. Not when he doesn’t treat you with the respect you fucking deserve. I fucked up so badly today I know it. I know it and I know I can’t ever make it up to you. You are doing everything right. You’re eating more. You’ve put on weight. I know you have because I see your body every single day. And it makes me happy to see how much healthier you look. You take your medication and you’ve... you’ve tried so quiznakking hard. I don’t know what this anomaly was, but right now, we can go to the medical wing and get some real fucking answers because not telling you is fucked up and cruel. I will be complaining to Coran about this. You are a great father to our boys. A better father than I have been. Even when you spend vargas at a time throwing up, you don’t break down and cry, you keep moving forward. You are strong, and they’re going to be strong like you” “It’s not good enough” “It is. It is you know it. You love our boys. You forced down those horrible ration bars when it was the only thing you could eat. You talked to mum to understand your pregnancy better. You stayed in the infirmary when mum insisted you have those allergy tests. You... why can’t you see it?” “Because I’m not a doctor. Apparently none of this matters because I’m still not doing anything right” “You don’t know that. Please, babe. Please, let me take you to see a doctor here. Someone who can tell us what’s happening properly. They said you were fine when they dismissed you. If something has happened in the last three movements, we need to know. I won’t risk your health or your mental health over some Altean arsehole” Lance started sobbing, Kosmo growling at Keith as he moved to curl back up against his favourite human “I don’t want to see anyone. I don’t want to be alive. I’m so sick... of being forgotten and thrown away” “Babe, that’s the depression...” “He probably thinks everything in the news was true. That I killed Klearo and his baby when I didn’t have a use for them anymore” “Then he can die in a ditch. He’s seen your medical history. He knows you were raped. He has absolutely no right treating you like this. You did nothing wrong. You did not deserve what happened to you. What happened does not change the fact I love you” “I don’t know what to do... I... I...” “I know. I know today has been horrible for you. I wish I could go back in time. I wish I wasn’t such a horrible husband. This tour... it’s not as important to me as you. I should have realised something major was happening when you said you needed rest. I should have put two and two together” “I don’t know if I can... I can’t...” “Shhh... you’re going to throw up at this rate. I’ve got you, babe. I’ve got you. Let’s go see the doctor...” “I don’t want to see them here... please... I don’t want it getting out... I don’t want to be treated differently” “I’m not taking you back to Altea. Not to him” “Then take me to Erathus. Set me free.. I can’t... I’m still scared” Scared of what? It felt like Lance was back at square one. That first time when he’d brought him home after finding out the truth... and set him free of what? Of him? Of them? Or out of his hold? Keith wasn’t sure he wanted to know. “Alright. Alright. You don’t need to explain. Whatever you need” They could have gone to the outpost. Daehra would have been able to give them all the answers they needed in a heartbeat. She was constantly improving her medical knowledge, especially after everything Coran had set her up with. Yet, that wasn’t what his husband wanted. Lance was lethargic, Keith dressing him comfortably with very little struggle. He didn’t particularly care if Lance was wandering around in his pyjamas, but the Galactic Media were arseholes, always nosing into their personal life when they didn’t need to be. Falling silent, Lance kept his mouth shut the whole walk to Keith’s ship and out to Erathus. Keith on the other hand had to call his mother to inform her that they needed an emergency wormhole out to Erathus, then he needed to call through to Erathus to let them know he was coming, his mother patching him through as he didn’t know the hospitals comm address. Erathus wasn’t filled with fond memories for him, Lance still silent as he hid in the jacket Keith had provided, hands on his stomach and bottom lip bleeding from where he’d chewed it bloody. Taking a hover-taxi to the hospital, Lance knew where he was going better than Keith did. There was a certain relief to knowing that his husband was still able to process their surrounds, even if he was silent. Following Lance through the halls, he faltered as he reached a sterile white room, labelled with a thin silver sign telling them they were in the right place. Taking Lance’s hand, he led him over to the reception desk, his husband breaking his silence to whimper as Keith explained the situation of what had happened earlier on Altea. The receptionist was wonderful with Lance, getting him both a drink of water and some tissues, before directing them to sit in the office staff room so he could have some privacy as they waited. Their status had got them an appointment amazingly fast, keith assuring them that a small wait was perfectly fine. Waiting was better than not having an appointment and leaving Lance in limbo over what this “anomaly” could be. He hadn’t exactly explained things to his mother, only that something had come up and they’d needed to leave as soon as possible for the hospital. He’d lied to her. He’d lied when he said that was ok. He wasn’t ok in the slightest. His scent was still rotten and offensive. Harsh to those who didn’t know what it meant, and even harsher on he who did. Sitting cuddled into him, Keith kept nuzzling into his husband’s hair as they waited, one arm holding him close as his other hand rested on Lance’s belly. The word “anomaly” continued to give him no peace. Their twins had to be ok. Their twins had to be ok, and his husband had to be ok. There was no room for negotiations and he wouldn’t accept anything less than the three of them being healthy and safe. Called through by a female doctor, she was careful and gentle as she directed Lance to lay on the examination table. It occurred to him that once she’d received the request, she’d likely requested his previous records, adjusting her conduct to suit his needs. All this was assumption. It may have been a racial thing too, her yellow skin was something new to him, her hair short almost most like fur, but her eyes were gentle. He took an instant liking to her, despite his stupid instincts. Fussing over his husband, Lance clung to him, head turned towards him rather than focusing on the doctor. With his husband falling mute, Keith explained that an anomaly had been detected earlier that day and that they were both searching for a second opinion on what it was. There was something even more magical in knowing their twins were boys. He could see two mini-Lance’s in his minds eye. Those big blue eyes, with that soft caramel skin. Part of him was twinged with the wonder of if Lance was excited as him over them being boys. He knew how to be male... but maybe his husband had wanted a girl...? Krolia would have loved a granddaughter... Profession and kind, the obstetrician took her measurements with minor fuss, before enlarging a black spot on the screen “I’ve found your anomaly. Here, there’s a small amount of scar tissue close to the placenta. Now, there does seem to be signs of a slight separation, that black dot indicates bleeding. I’m unsure why they wouldn’t simply inform you. Have you been told the risks associated with a placental abruption?” Keith nodded. Of course he fucking knew them. Lance had ended up in that stupid pod because of it. Lance wasn’t up to talking, but Keith wasn’t sure that the question wasn’t directed at him “I know them” “And the signs and symptoms to watch out for?” “Premature birth, risk of birth defects, risk during labour, risk of haemorrhage... bleeding. If he’s bleeding he need to be checked” The woman smiled at him “Good. It’s refreshing to hear that you know the signs and symptoms. You’re a good partner to your husband. Your boys seem to be nice and healthy, a solid 21 weeks by your Earth time provided I’m doing the calculations correctly. You’ll also need to pay attention to what he’d feeling. Pain and foetal distress are also symptoms that you might not notice or see. Especially tenderness in the groin area. Sometimes there may not even be bleeding. I know you’re currently located on Daibazaal, but if you’d prefer, you can transfer his obstetric care to Erathus. Now, he is slightly beneath weight, has his morning sickness been severe?” “We found out he’d developed allergies. He’s been doing better now that he’s avoiding what he’s allergic too” “That’s perfect. Every pregnancy is different. Some mother feel awful over being able to keep food down, though they try. More than once I’ve seen a mother devastated after being hospitalised. Now, I don’t have your history from your obstetrician, has he given you anything to take?” “He takes a few things. For nausea, seizures, depression and folic acid...” “That’s a good start. His blood pressure is high, though from how upset he is, I can understand. I also understand you’re currently on tour. I would recommend he spend as much time resting as he can. I also want you to make an appointment in three movements time” “I need to talk to Lance about this. His obstetrician on Altea has been less than... the nurses have been great, but...” Tugging his hand, Keith leaned down. His husband’s voice was rough, his throat sore from crying “I like her better...” “So do I. Are you sure?” “She’s not an arsehole” Keith snorted, Lance was right. The woman had been nothing but kind and professional towards them “He likes you” The woman laughed softly “That’s an excellent start. I’ll go ahead and organise things on my end. As you said, I’m not arsehole, I’m assuming you don’t have a great relationship with your current obstetrician. That’s a shame. This should be an exciting and magical time for both of you. Now, I’ll make you an appointment with me, and if you have any concerns at all, you can call through. I’ll give you the direct line through to my reception. If you do want to explore your options, we have another 4 obstetricians on campus, or I can refer you to a private clinic” Lance shook his head. That was a firm no to someone else “I think his mind’s made up. Thank you for being honest with us” “I find being honest saves a lot of confusion and pain. Now, I need a couple of signatures authorising me to have your files transferred. Payment, etc. I’ll familiarise myself with your files, then I’ll be able to offer you a better plan the next time you come for your appointment. We’re going to get you through this, and you’re both going to be fathers to two beautiful boys” “Thank you” Lance’s voice was soft, their doctor’s ears twitching at the sound. Keith suspecting she had heightened hearing... not that that meant anything in particular “You’re very welcome. Take your time sitting up, don’t rush it if you’re feeling dizzy. Take it slow today. Relax and let your husband take care of you” * For no other reason than that he felt like it, Keith carried Lance back to their quarters from his ship. His husband was still mad at him, but knowing what was happening was a thousand times better than not. Sitting Lance of the edge of their bed, his husband promptly got up and shuffled off to the bathroom while Keith stripped off his jacket and boots, then went about dealing with his comms. He had a new message from his mother, who’d left hanging for the past couple of vargas. Opening the message, she was simply checking in and asking how Lance was doing. Pausing, he wasn’t sure what to say, before deciding that the truth was the best. Explaining that there’d been an anomaly on Lance’s Altea scans, and that he’d taken his husband to Erathus, he hoped his mother wouldn’t be too offended. The flight, all though brief, had given him a moment of clarity where he’d realised that Lance was still coming to terms with Galra touching him. Keith could pass, because he looked human. To his scared husband, having someone the size of Sendak touching his pregnant stomach was terrifying, despite the fact they meant him not harm. Lance only ever went along with their examinations because he knew that they were necessary and didn’t want to cause a scene. He working through his trauma, yet there was obviously going to be some hiccups along the way. This was one of them. This was why he didn’t want to transfer his care here. His love was alright with Krolia touching him because of who she was. Because he’d built up that relationship with her. Lance didn’t know the hospital staff. They flicked that “fight or flight” impulse to “flight” each time he was forced to endure their touches against his bare skin. Returning from the bathroom, Lance moved to sit back next to him. Scrubbing his face tiredly, he let himself slump against him “I’m...” “Don’t. Don’t say you’re sorry” He knew Lance would apologise. He always apologised “I am” “You don’t need to be. I get it. I get it more than I did before. I’m just sorry today had to go so badly for me to get it” “I hate my birthday” “I know. I don’t though. I could never hate the day you were born” “I feel stupid. I feel... like I haven’t accomplished much of anything. That everything I’ve ever started has always failed. I hate my birthday because it’s just another reminder of how stupid I am” “Babe. You’re not stupid” “I am. I’m so fucking stupid. I never get it right” “That’s not true” “It is. It is true! I deserved for you to forget. I don’t deserve to be happy” “That’s not true at all. I’m so sorry I forgot” “It’s fine... I’m not that important” “That’s a load of quiznak. The recruits found your stolen wedding ring because they wanted to get you gift. Mum’s been asking about you. Shiro wanted to have party, but he wanted to respect your wishes...” “I haven’t heard from anyone... no one cares. Wait... Hunk came around and I was awful to him. Why was I born Keith? Why can’t I be good and normal?!” Hunk’s visit was news to him. He hadn’t suspected that at all “You are good. You’re a good person. You aren’t normal, but I’m not normal either. If anyone here is stupid, it’s me. You’re the love of my life and I forgot. I’ve been thinking about this for movements and the day it mattered, I forgot” “You had work. It’s more important” “No. You’re more important. I spent the day making mistakes because you weren’t there. You’re my strength. My rock. My stability. You always have my back... and I fucking failed you” “The tour’s more important” “Nothing is more important. Nothing will ever be more important to me, than you. Today’s scan... I was excited for it... I know your obstetrician was an arse, so I wanted to be there. I wanted to make sure you were getting the best possible care through all of this” “The... the nurse noticed the scarring. I think she noticed the bleed too... but he called it an anomaly. We’ve come this far... I don’t want to lose them now” Keith felt sick to his stomach thinking about the implications of the small bleed. Obviously the pod had healed what it could... but they were supposed to be a magical cure all. Not... not cure most of it... “You liked today’s doctor, didn’t you?” “She was nice... didn’t make me feel so stupid... and she didn’t make a fuss because I’m a nut job” “You’re not a nut job... She’s right. This should be a magical time for both of us. For you. For our boys... I fell in love with them all over again” Lance shuddered, his emotions causing his voice to crack. Keith nearly crushing him as he gathered him closer “I wanted you to be there so badly. I wanted to find out with you. It hurt so much” “I know. I know and I love you... Dios, babe...” Lance sniffled “Your Spanish is terrible” “I want to work on it. I want to learn more about you. I want to understand your family better. I want to understand you better” “Me? What about you? You lost so much” When Keith had lost his father, he felt like he’d lost everything. Shiro has tried his hardest and he’d be eternally grateful to his brother until the day he died... but Lance... Lance was the love of his life. Their stupid rivalry had grown to so much more, more than he’d ever thought it could be “And I gained so much more when I met you” Keith’s comms chimed from a new message. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with anything or anyone else that day. It most likely his mother anyway “You’re not going to answer?” “It’s probably mum” “Then you should check it” “Lance, everything in my life that I need to be prioritising is right here” Lance shook his head “No. It could be some kind of emergency...” “Babe. It can wait” “Keith, please. I can’t not have you check. I can’t handle that right now” “Alright. Let me just...” Lance was squashed against his chest so he could see his comms screen over his husband’s shoulder. The message was from his mother, and somewhat cryptic “Come to this room, and bring both Lance and his wedding ring”. They didn’t need this right now. Even if there’d been some kind of break through with the attack, Lance wasn’t up for people “What is it?” “Mum wants to see us both. If you’re not up for it, that’s fine. We don’t have to go. I can message her” “No. No. Whatever it is, she wouldn’t message us if it wasn’t important” “Babe, you’ve met my mother. You know she’s got a varied idea on what’s important” “We should still see her. It could be about the tour... or maybe the press has gone and made more stuff up about us” He didn’t want to bring up the ring. Lance hadn’t asked for it back... “Will you be ok? She told you to rest” Lance sniffled loudly, leaning back to wipe his eyes “It’s not like I’m running a marathon. It’s Mumma K” “You’ll tell me right. Any of those symptoms? If you’re hurting? I don’t want you to risk yourself because you feel like you can’t talk to me” “I’m tired... I’m hurt and I’m scared... please stop apologising. I can’t take it anymore” “I could apologise for the rest of my life I’ll still be sorry” “I can’t take that. I can’t... I don’t want to think about it. We’ll go see mum and see what she wants then go from there” Krolia had added the location, so clicking on the enclosed coordinates had brought up an easy follow map. Keith knew he really should know his way around the palace, but with everything being hues of grey and purple, everything looked the same. Waiting by the door, his mother had Kosmo by her side. Keith hadn’t noticed that he’d disappeared, yet he yipped happily at the sight of them “Mum, what’s going on” “I’m sorry for calling you out, there’s something special that needs to be discussed. Head on in” That wasn’t any help, nor did it explain anything. Opening the door, the room was lit by small lanterns, a single dressed table in the room, with a chair either side. In the middle of the table was a vase of purple flowers, silver cutlery shining against the black table cloth and white plates. Dressed in his chef whites, Hunk had a cloth bent over one arm, and bottle of something in his hand. Shay stood next to him, a smile on her face. Beside him, Lance had taken half a step back, leaving Keith to pose the question “What’s going on?” Hunk couldn’t help himself as he rocked back on his heel, confidence wavering for a fraction of a tick “After talking with Lance earlier, I thought he might not feel like dining in a fancy restaurant. It seemed like such a shame that you’d miss taking him to dinner, given it’s all you’ve been talking about for last movement” Lance gasped softly “You have? I didn’t... when?” When indeed? “After every dinner we’ve eaten off world. I don’t think he realised he was. You were so upset earlier... I’m sorry, I asked Krolia if this would be possible. She told me that you and Keith had gone off world. We thought about setting this up in your quarters, but we didn’t want you to feel ambushed. Now, I’m Hunk and I’ll be your chef, and waiter, tonight. If you’d like to please take a seat, I will pour you both a glass of this fine non-alcoholic sparkling wine” It fell into place. Why his mother wanted him to bring Lance’s ring, and why they’d been directed to a room he didn’t know. Turning to his husband, Keith didn’t want Lance to feel pressured. There was no way he could take him to their reservation. Lance’s anxieties would stress over everything. Not that that mattered. If Lance had still wanted to go to dinner, Keith would dropped everything to take him “Babe... Do you maybe want to have dinner with me?” “How can I say no? You... why?” The question was for Hunk, not him “Because you’re still my friend. I want you to still be my friend. Our friend. Now, sit. Tonight let us make you happy” “I’m not dressed for dinner” “Babe, you’re beautiful. It might not be that fancy restaurant, but we both know Hunk’s cooking is probably better than it anyway. So, do you maybe want to have dinner with me?” “I don’t know how much I can eat” Any food was better than no food. That was his take away from today’s appointment. That and a whole lot to be scared of... with a dash of hopefulness “That’s fine. Absolutely no pressure. Just two idiot accidental husband’s eating dinner” “I think... I think maybe I want to” Keith had very nearly ruined Lance’s birthday but thanks to their friends, and his nosy mother, he could at least create one good memory for him today. Tomorrow their tour would continue, he’d have to apologise to the planet they’d been visiting. If they couldn’t forgive him for being more worried about his pregnant than their alliance, then he wasn’t sure he wanted to be an alliance with them.

FFVIII fic, “Liberation”

Pre-game. Slightly AU. Lots of odd snippets of headcanon about the Forest Owls/Rinoa’s life in Galbadia/the animal liberationist movement in Dollet. 

Summary: Rinoa wants to be useful. She also wants a dog. 

She had never before experienced the sensation of wanting to be useful. 

 In her old world there had useful people everywhere. There had been valets and maids for doing her hair and maids for making her bed. There had been chauffeurs who never smiled, gardeners with dirt under their fingernails, cooks who made perfect toast. 

She tried to recall to her mind all the moments she had thanked the help, all the moments she made sure to refer to them by their first names or ask them how their day was going. She must have, she thought, must have. 

She had never wanted to be useful for him or for any other Caraway, or for the teachers at her school or even for the people who had somehow ended up as something like her friends but not really. It had been easy then to think of herself as everything her aunt or her ex-stepmother or in his darker moments her father had said she was: selfish, ungrateful, hateful, even. 

No, wait, there had been sitting by her mother by the piano, she had wanted to be useful then. But her mother was only humouring her by letting her turn the pages. She still couldn’t read music, but maybe she could learn, now, here. She didn’t suppose it’d be easy to get a piano through the door of the train carriage, though. 

And money, she chastised herself, pianos cost money, and you – we – have none here. 

She had already burned their shirts and saucepans. Hours of needlework lessons at school learning how to embroider flowers (lessons where she had was forever surly, argumentative) left her unequipped for shirt buttons and sock darning. Watts quietly and gently took over the job of polishing shoes, a task Rinoa had failed to appreciate the intricate labour of – just like she had with boiling lentils or making beds – until now. 

Revolutionaries did not need the skills acquired from years of immersive training in the delicate art of Galbadian girlhood. They did not want or need to know the right way to accept or decline a dinner invitation. They did not have to memorise the words to Vinzer Deling’s favourite folk songs just in case he showed up to a social gathering and demanded the young ladies crowd around the piano to amuse him. Nor did they have to know about Admiral Thibault’s womanising problem that no-one talked about but also very much did (though she knew it thrilled them all here to know the tawdry, hypocritical lives their beloved leaders led). 

No-one is here to make you a housewife, Zone told her, just pull your weight.

Some days she felt brave enough to participate in their study groups. She spent evenings familiarising herself with the illicit canon of essays, pamphlets, books, revolutionary songs. She learnt terms like eco-imperialism, resource imperialism (everything everything imperialism), ecocide, permaculture, food forestry, the military industrial complex, the carceral state. 

She was still afraid to go outside before dark. In the evenings they went gleaning for food disposed of by the restaurants she and her father had once patronised. She learnt to love the texture of stale bread and the soft, fermented flesh of over-ripe apples. She was no good at stealing, but learnt she was good at smiling and distracting the Galbadian business-owners the Owls deemed grew too fat from selling wine and cheese to tourists from Deling City. 

A girl from another faction donated her old boots to Rinoa - in her rush from the house the only shoes she had bought were her party ones, white satin with a heel not made for running. She would slide on her new-old boots and stamp hard on the soft ground of the railyard, laughing giddily at the idea of her father and her aunt and her ex-stepmother and her ballet teacher and her friends watching her climbing deftly over old shipping containers and scraping her knees. 

The first time she is useful – or she at least thinks of herself, finally, as useful -- is because she stubbornly insists upon it. She is bored. She is still waited upon. She is still Rinoa Caraway. 

A group of animal liberationists from Dollet had been in contact with information about a new initiative in a military camp about ten miles east of the city. There was recent confirmation of a new experiment. The group had been involved before in the liberation of Geezards, who were being - unsuccessfully - trained to detonate remote explosives. This new weapon, however, was more cuddly.

 “Dogs.” Zone told her. “Attack dogs, specifically.” 

Her ex-stepmother had been allergic. Her father disinterested and non-committal about the idea of pets. She felt ten years old again when Zone told her, coveting the simple, uncomplicated companionship she felt would – must – exist between her and a dog. She had even collected editions of Pet Pals and shoved them under her father’s nose at the dinner table. 

“Look.” She had said, pointing to a page. “They’ve trained rescue dogs in the Trabian mountains to administer Phoenix Downs to people with hypothermia.”

 Had he thought, then, she wondered, had the idea begun to germinate in his mind? She felt unwell, the same kind of unwell she had first felt when Zone had told her about the Town Square Massacre during the end of the Second Sorceress War (had her father known that they would shoot into the crowd? Had he? Had he?) or the methods of torture used at D-District. 

“I’m going to come.” She announced. A panicked Zone recited the familiar list of reasons over why she absolutely should not come. 

“If they find you--” He started. 

“They won’t.” She said. “Please, Zone.” 

He looked at her as if they were children again, with her barraging in on his and Watts’ play the way she always did, demanding they find a place for her. They always had. 

“They want someone to record inside the facility.” He said. “You just hang back, okay? Stay outta shot. Follow our lead.” He paused for a second, bit his lip. “I meant what I said before, you know. There’s no condition to you being here. You don’t have to help us in our mission.” 

“What if I want to?” She asked. 

“You’re fifteen years old.” He said, only eighteen himself. “Just a few months ago you had no idea any of this existed.” 

She wanted to tell him that that was a lie. She wanted to think that her acts of rebellion – both large and small, both petty and serious -- against her father, her family, her school, even Vinzer had been for something beyond herself. Back then Zone and Watts were just childhood memories, servants’ boys who she had followed and pestered and then lost the same time it had felt like she had lost everything: her mother, the Timber house, her father. 

“And how old were you when you decided this is what you were meant to do? How old were you when you realised how wrong this all was?” She knew the answer. She knew it was the day Vinzer Deling had killed his father. There was no other answer he could give. Rinoa clutched the top of her arm and looked outside the train window, uncomfortable. “You know what I saw, what I went through, as his daughter. It was nothing compared to what people go through here, I know, but…” 

She heard him sigh. She watched Joly and Jehan outside smoking and playing dice under the washing line. Behind them stood the solid boundary of Argoat Forest. It would be autumn soon and she would have been here for three months, waiting for something or someone or somewhere to show her what to do with the rest of her life. Maybe all she needed was a dog. 

~ 

Rinoa accepts a cigarette from one of the Dollet Animal Liberationists even though she had promised herself she would quit because Rinoa Heartilly didn’t smoke. Rinoa Caraway’s last cigarette had been by patio doors of the Timber house as party music poured out into the night air. She had been wearing those satin shoes and the blue dress her aunt always insisted she wore around company. This Rinoa, though, wore sensible shoes designed for scaling chain-link fences and clothes that made her into shadow. 

They sketch out the outline of the base into the earth with a stick. Rinoa does her best to memorise the exit points and guard towers. There is an air of nervous anticipation she can feel between them all as they huddle together in the twilight. An owl hoots in the distance, and Rinoa chooses to take it as a good omen. 

“Rinoa, it’s okay if you want to wait in the van with Watts.” Zone whispers. She frowns and shakes her head and he grips her shoulder. 

She imagines the fence as one of the trees she and Zone used to climb in the grounds of the Timber house. She looks across and sees he is still beside her. They used to have races to climb to the top of the big oak. He wins now just as he did then, but here he is once more with a hand out for her. 

They keep low to the ground, dodging spotlights and sleepy, inattentive soldiers. The forest crowds around the camp, the sound of the wind through the leaves softens the noise of their footsteps on the gravel. Her back begins to hurt. Her comrades open control panels, begin fiddling with wires and keypads, muttering curses under their breath. 

She used to come with him on tours of these places, sometimes. Officials would hurry her father around and talk in squeaky, anxious voices. She used to try and pretend she was somewhere else. Her father didn’t trust her home alone - she had managed her way out of too many bolted windows and locked doors.

The largest members of the Forest Owls and the D.A.L – Bahorel and a Dollet man she knows only by his muddy yellow hair – swarm the lone soldier out for his cigarette break. He is slipped discreetly into a small closet and his keycard stolen, hands bound and mouth gagged. 

When they make their way through the back door of the kennel she is hit overwhelmingly by the scent of dog. She stands, dazed for a moment at the ugly bright fluorescent light, before remembering to switch on the camera. Everyone slips on their masks. They are old pantomime props from long ago showing faces of forest animals: bears, fawns, weasels, and, of course, owls. There is a faint smell of urine as the puppies begin to wake, whining and pacing in their cages. 

Zone and the D.A.L. leader stand shoulder to shoulder. Rinoa raises the camera. She knows Zone’s speech already, he had her sit and listen and critique him on his posture, his over-reliance on metaphor, the use of his hands.  

“We can see here the plain, naked brutality of the Galbadian Empire.” He began. “Not only do they corrupt and brutalise the minds and bodies of the soldiers under their command, but they extend their treatment to these innocent victims.” Someone hands him a puppy, who sits placidly in his arms. “Who gave these animals the choice to participate in their cruel regimes of violence against Timber, or against all who would seek to oppose their imperialistic dogma? This is only the first step in Timber’s liberation. Soon we liberate all of those who make their home on our soil!” 

His delivery is stifled in places, over-practiced. He is not really built for this, she knows. In another place and time Zone would have been a ticket inspector or a clerk in a timber yard, work where his awkwardness and anxious temperament would have proved no serious hindrance to him. But this is not that time. This is not that place. 

After the D.A.L leader’s speech – one that stresses the importance of direct action, of interspecies compassion -- she clicks off the camera. Zone thrusts the puppy into her arms. 

“What are you doing?” She asks. The small body wriggles against her chest. 

“It pissed on me! During my speech!” He replies, ripping off his mask. His face is flustered and he has been sweating. “Hyne this is a disgusting mission.” 

Rinoa bobs the puppy up and down in her arms. All around them littermates are being slipped into carriers covered with dark blankets. One of the D.A.L. goes to take the bundle from Rinoa’s arms, but she will not let them take it. No, not this one, she says. I’ll carry it.

The OCs: Jamie Jackson

Full Name: Jaidee Jamie Jackson

Nicknames: Jamie (to everyone except for her parents). Lek (by her parents).  Cara/Tesoro (from Michael). Printsessa/Lyubimaya (from Vasya). 

Emojis: 🥋📝⚖🌶🍷

Birthday: June 15th 

Place of Birth: Hells Kitchen, New York

Sexuality: Bisexual polyamorous. 

Misc: 

- Her parents, Malee and James, met while he was on a business trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand. He ended up extending his time there and the two fell in love. Malee came with him back to New York and a year later they were married. Less than a year later they had Jamie. 

James’s mother is Norwegian, so growing up he spoke English and Norwegian when at home. He’s gifted with learning languages and his job is as a translater. Jamie speaks little Norwegian as she only spoke it when she would be visiting her grandparents. 

Malee and James thought they were going to have a boy so when Jamie was born they had already picked out a name for her and fallen in love with the name. So they just kept it since Jaidee is a unisex name. 

- She was very small in her father’s hands when she was born and her mom gifted her with the nickname Lek, meaning ‘small’. 

Her name, Jaidee, means ‘kindhearted’. 

- Her favorite colour is rose gold.

- Her lucky number is five.

- She sleeps cuddling a stuffed panda. Toto sleeps beside her knees.

- Jamie has very bad anger issues as a child so her parents enroll her into taekwando with Taka. The two begin doing kendo together as well when they’re fourteen. 

- She’s Buddhist and her favourite holiday is Loy Krathong. 

She’s a very good cook thanks to her mother teaching her and she cooks for every holiday. Her specialty is her eggrolls. 

- Her favourite movie is Yes or No. 

- As a child she loves playing dress up in her mother’s chut Thai and jewelry. When the family goes to Chiang Mai, Jamie always becomes very ecstatic to wear her own sarongs. 

- James and Malee are very doting parents and adore their only child with all of their being. Malee never received a full formal education as she had to be pulled from school in elementary school to help cook for her family so she wants Jamie to do better than her. Malee never wants Jamie to have to do as much work as she’s had to do. 

Malee cannot read or write in English and often has trouble in Thai. She’s taught Jamie how to speak the language, but she can’t teach her anything else. 

- As a child she didn’t understand why some of the kids would laugh at the food she would bring for lunch or why they would make fun of her mother’s accent when Malee would come to pick her up. She grows to love her heritage as she becomes a teenager and hates that she wasted so much time being embarrassed about a part of herself. 

She and Marie have this in common. 

- When she’s six, Malee tells her that she’s enrolling her into music lessons. Malee let Jamie pick the instrument and fully expected for her daughter to pick the piano and was pleasantly surprised when Jamie picked the flute.

- Her favorite fairytales are A Tale of Two Rice Birds and East of the Sun, West of the Moon. 

- Her favourite types of tea are a tie between Thai boba tea and jasmine tea with honey. She doesn’t like coffee in the morning but rather drinks tea. The only time she drinks coffee is when she goes to a coffee shop and orders herself a latte. 

- Jamie, Peyton, Alexei, and Taka are all neighbors and so growing up together, the four of them were very close friends. Jamie and Peyton always had a rivalry of sorts growing up and it just never went away much to the amusement of Taka and Alexei. 

- Jamie is a big daddy’s girl and very close to her dad. If her mom says she can’t do something, she asks her dad. James half of the time gives her the okay. The other half of the time he says to ask her mom. 

- Despite being close to her parents she’s still terrified of coming out to them, especially when shse realizes she’s polyamorous. 

- Taka and Jamie date for a very short period when in highschool and it nearly destroys the friendship between them, Peyton, and Alexei. 

Alexei had a huge crush on Taka for the longest time but never told anyone except for Peyton so he becomes very bitter towards Jamie while she and Taka are dating and it causes a lot of tension between the friends. Jamie and Taka decide that they’re better as friends and they would rather stay friends than have their frienships with Alexei and Peyton destroyed. 

- She’s twenty when she meets Michael and the two begin seeing each other then dating. She finds out about his mafia work very early on but is honestly kind of an idiot and decides she doesn’t care about it. He only deals with weapons and drug distribution, is her excuse. It’s a poor one. She is aware but a fool in love. 

- As one of Michael’s cover stories for running the mafia is a restaurant, Jamie and Peyton get jobs as hostesses at his fine dining Italian restaurant. Sometimes they both help serve just for some extra pocket money. 

- Her favorite foods consist of her dad’s homemade buttercake, her mom’s Pad Thai, Michael’s fra diavolo, and Vasya’s potato and cheese pierogis. 

- Though she often picks mild fun at Vasya’s very casual clothing taste, Jamie loves to steal borrow Vasya’s sweaters and cardigans. They’re warm and fluffy and smell like Vasya’s perfume. 

- She learns a few steps for a few traditional Thai dances but she feels like she looks ridiculous when she dances.

Malee self taught herself some dances when she was growing up in Thailand by watching the dancers during festivals. She dances sometimes when she hears Jamie practicing music on the flute. 

- Jamie has a shih tzu named Toto. He is like her child.

- She’s fond of poetry and has been known to take a poetry book with her to a coffee shop and sip on a latte. 

- She was on her highschool’s debate team. It’s no surprise that she would further her education by becoming a lawyer.

This would be how she re-meets Vasya. Jamie is interning at Nelson & Murdock & co. and one day Vasya comes over with Maddie so the two girls can talk to their dads. Jamie nearly drops the coffees she brought for everyone when she sees Vasya and just quietly, “Oh my god...” When Vasya sees her she later yells at Matt, “Why didn’t you tell me there’s a pretty girl here?!” Matt doesn’t tell either that the other girl likes each other, just lets them fumble around cluelessly. 

- The first date between Michael, Jamie, and Vasya takes place at Michael’s penthouse where he cooks for them. The first date outside of their homes is at Fogwell’s where Vasya takes them. She and Michael both are surprised when Jamie is very capable of fighting back. Matt is not the only Murdock to have gotten laid in that gym...

- Jamie hates bugs, doesn’t matter what kind it is, she does not like them. 

- Her favorite type of fast food is Popeyes.

- She loves frozen yogurt, her favorite flavour being cake batter. She enjoys putting granola on her yogurt, frozen or not. 

- Generally, Jamie is very reserved and quiet. Often times when she’s talking, she doesn’t realize just how softly she’s speaking and is told to speak up. This always makes her flush and grow very annoyed and snappish. 

- Her favourite flowers are lotuses. 

- She loves mango. The fruit, mango candy, mango flavoured icecream, mango smoothies. If it’s mango, she loves it. Needless to say, when she makes herself sticky rice, it’s topped with mango.  

- She’s very ‘girly’ and likes make up. Her eyeliner is always on point and winged beautifully. Shopping is a favourite past time of hers. 

- She’s allergic to most boxed hair dyes but not bubble dye. Peyton helps her dye her hair anytime Jamie gets in the mood to do so. 

- The one time she was taken hostage to be used as bait against Michael and Vasya, Michael snorted, “Your funeral.” Once he hung up he took a deep breath and, “We really need to go get Jamie back.” Vasya just nodded. “Quickly is preferable.” Jamie did not take kindly to being kidnapped.

- When Vasya leaves to go to school in Moscow, Jamie cries the hardest. 

- She hates Michael’s father and elder brother, Angelo. Mostly because of how they treated Michael growing up but also because Angelo kidnapped Peyton, thinking she was Jamie, and Peyton is her best frenemy. She finds Raphael to be amusing though. 

- She and Jack get along fairly well. She thinks he’s even more amusing than Raphael and is very smart. He thinks she needs to loosen up and have more fun. 

- When they get Vasya back, Jamie loves and adores Smolya the most. He is her little baby. It’s very common for Michael and Vasya to find her passed out on the couch with Smolya sleeping on her, tiny fist clenching a lock of her hair. Rebuilding the relationship between the three of them takes much work, love, and patience.

- When she finds out that she’s pregnant she’s extremely anxious. The baby is named Aranya, nicknamed Ari, and takes after all three of her parents. A few years after Ari is born, Vasya is pregnant with Alessia. 

Aranya and Alessia are super close but get on each other’s nerves.

- Jamie adopts a Siamese kitten and names it Pringles. 

6 songs that she probably has on her phone/fit her well:

I’m a Ruler by Tommee Profitt ft. Ruby Amanfu 

Cliché  by Candy Mafia

Second Hand Love by Bedroom Audio

What I Need by Hayley Kiyoko ft. Kehlani

Princess by Fletcher

[quaxorascal]

All questions for Taber and co!

actuallyaltaria said: (co being Belasco, Aracelli, and any NPCS you think are relevant here)

Sure thing! Though I’ll only do odd-numbered questions I think! (from here)

1) What’s their favorite types of art? Do any of them make any art themselves?Taber appreciates all forms of visual art but doesn’t make any herself, and idk about the rest of the party. As far as NPC, Zuzanna is a jeweller, and Helia is pretty damn artful at killing people to death

3) Who will buy the others candy and treats if they’re feeling down, and who will comfort them emotionally?Esovera once gave Taber a bottle of whiskey as a “sorry you got crushed by a dragon and nearly died” gift, so I think she counts for the first category. As for the second, Aracelli is good at voicing her emotions and comforting others when their emotions are out of whack, though she doesn’t let others do the same for her, whoops

The rest goes under a cut!

5) What does everyone do in their downtime?Belasco’s most likely to sell shit, solve puzzles, and design new weapons; Aracelli does target practice for hours on end and pets her bird; Taber spends time with her girlfriend and reads; Esovera and Nate fuck behind Esovera’s bar

7) What superpowers would they pick?I’ll just answer for Taber for this one, but I think she’d choose either invisibility or the ability to take wounds from others. She could, you know, heal those wounds instead of taking them for herself, but uh

9) Can one of them bake well?Nobody in the party has tried while in-game, but I imagine Esovera and Zuzanna can both bake decently well

Gonna skip 11 actually

13) Who enjoys parties? Who would rather stay at home?Lmao the gang is neutral leaning negative toward parties in practice, but Taber does like the idea of being at a party. Zuzanna seems to enjoy parties though, and Esovera likes throwing them! Nate would rather be at home I’m sure, and Helia is more of a rave sorta girl I think

15) Who wears cheesy, cliche, embarrassing underwear?Please please please @theraveninhisstudy​ tell me that Nate would wear heart-print boxers

17) How would they react to a call or text from a wrong number?Belasco would probably fuck with whoever called him and keep them on the phone to know what it is they’re calling about, unless he doesn’t know who they are and they aren’t important. Aracelli would probably just hang up immediately, as would Taber

19) Who has the worst puns? How do the others react?God I hope this is Helia

21) Who would dye their hair/dye it again? What color would they go for?The closest I can think of would be Belasco donning the Disguise Cloak to actually give him hair, otherwise I’m not sure anyone would?

23) Who is the biggest nerd of all? What makes them a massive nerd?Your fave is a nerd: Belasco [last name confidential]. Receipts:

Mama’s boy

Loves puzzle books

Thought sending a dragon tooth home to his mom was a great idea

It was not a great idea

Once won a spicy food eating contest by cheating bc crows can’t taste spicy food

Avoids swimming lessons by cheating bc he’d rather invest in a pair of Shoes Shin Guards of Water Walking

Once came down from a dissociative episode by remembering that his tiny kitten loves him

Hates shoes

Runner-up is Esovera, who gets immensely excited for holidays and decorates her bar appropriately a month in advance

25) Who is the most likely to be called an edgelord? -Yml switches campaigns just for this question-

27) What did they get made fun of for when they were younger?Aracelli got made fun of by her clan because she comes from a clan of druids but isn’t a druid herself despite all best efforts; Taber was made fun of by her cousins for her height and heritage; Belasco was probably also got made fun of by his asshole cousin for his height but he was made fun of because he was short lmao

29) Who is the most ticklish?My gut tells me either Helia or Zuzanna and either way I need it

31) One of them buys one of those custom T-shirts where you can choose what words are written on it. What does it say? What do others think?Helia would totally have a shirt that reads “I flexed and the sleeves fell off” and Mason, you can’t argue with me about this because I won’t believe you

33) Who eats tons of plates at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Who gets one small plate, and not much more?Depends on what’s being offered! Aracelli will eat lots if it’s not fancy food, meanwhile Taber will do the same if it Is fancy. Honestly I think Belasco would eat a medium-sized plate of whatever

EDIT:Shay: aracelli is absolutely a five dollar all you can eat buffet kind of girlShay: she’d eat a plate of ten slices of pizza at cicis no problem

35) How would one of them react to another getting them flowers?Taber has already given her gf flowers, specifically silk flowers because Zuzanna is allergic to the real deal. Zuzanna was delighted when she learned who her secret admirer was ;0

37) Who would eat ghost peppers without breaking (too much of) a sweat?Belasco, see point 23

39) Who’s that one person who loves candy corn?Taber probably likes it, and I can see Esovera liking it too if only during Halloween Nightmare’s Eve season

41) Who gets hassled the most to fix computers/technology?I feel like that’s probably Aracelli in a modern AU, since she’s so good at fixing things

EDIT:Shay: also aracelli Isn’t a tech person so: she could fix your car, not your computer ;0

I will thus edit my statement to say probably Belasco ;0

43) Who would be the crazy cat person?Belasco

45) How do they tell their crushes they like them, if at all?Taber gave Zuzanna a flower through Zuzanna’s best friend, disappeared for like two weeks, then came back and honest to god meant to tell Zuzanna herself that she sent the flower, but she’s a bi disaster and wasn’t able to get the words out, leaving Zuzanna to spot the flower on her own. That went pretty well though all things considered

Helia meanwhile is a pan disaster who made a bit of a show of stammering out that she liked Aracelli, and could they go out together sometime? Aracelli thought it was cute though

47) Who stims? What’s their favorite method of stimming?Aracelli stims with archery practice, petting her bird, sitting upside down and occasionally by lying facedown on her bed

49) Who is the sassiest of all?Belasco “Are you just going to tell me to go fuck myself? Because if so, you’re derivative and boring” Belasco

51) What is that one interest they could spend hours talking about? Who listens?Aracelli’s special interest is bows/ archery!! Honestly if she wants to talk about it Taber would be happy to listen as a fellow admirer of weapons, but the problem is it hasn’t come up yet. God damn that would be cute

53) Who makes lunch for who?The gang buys food at Esovera’s bar on the regular, which I say should count toward our rent

55) Who’s not strong enough to open tight jars? Who has to open it for them?

Belasco: 9 STR

Aracelli: 11 STR

Taber: 18 STR

Take a guess

57) What’s their ideal first date? What was/will their actual first date be like?I’ll just answer she second question of these! 

Aracelli and Helia’s first date was an attempt to eat at a fancy restaurant, both of them bailing because it was too uppity for both of them, then going to Helia’s favourite bar and kicking ass in the fighting pit because why not. Aracelli kicked the most ass and I’m so sad I wasn’t actually present for that

Taber’s and Zuzanna’s was also an outing to a fancy restaurant, less fancy than the one the other two picked but still a good choice for these two rich kids. They chatted over wine and Taber walked Zuzanna home and got a kiss on the cheek before Zuzanna left. It was very cute

59) Who would study for days for a test? Who doesn’t do a lick of studying?Honestly I feel like all of our kids would be pretty good as far as studying!

61) Does anyone have an unusually loud or quiet voice? Does anyone never speak sometimes/at all?Aracelli has gone nonverbal a couple of times, and in general her voice is pretty quiet. Taber keeps hers quiet too, as well as pitching it up. Belasco kinda just talks normally, not loud or quiet

63) Who comes to an event super late? Who comes to it super early?Just gonna answer for Taber for this one too! She’d rather be early to an event than late, she’d definitely be super early if given the chance. Also if Nate is late for an event it’s because he didn’t want to come

65) What’s the most annoying thing about living with these characters/people?Aracelli sometimes just doesn’t wear a shirt, and Belasco is cool with joining in on the naked party, too. That’s just how it is sometimes. Taber is always flustered when this happens. Also Belasco will be subtle and pull personal info out of you/ eavesdrop on all sorts of stuff he shouldn’t. Taber sometimes chills in her full suit of paladin armour for no gd reason other than that she likes wearing it, and it baffles the other two so much

67) Who sees an empty playground and can’t resist playing around for awhile?Probably Aracelli and Helia tbh, and that would also be a really cute date

69) Who’s the one that “you can’t take anywhere”?You can’t take Taber to anyplace where you wanna be stealthy, you can’t take Belasco anywhere if you want him to mind his own business, and you can’t take Aracelli anywhere where there’s no trees

71) What’s the dumbest thing they own, and the story behind it?Taber has a bottle of cheap and shitty perfume that she won at a carnival by playing one of those strength games with the mallet, Aracelli has arrows with heads full of peppercorns meant to be fired in people’s faces (and she made them all by herself!!), and when I asked Nidoran what the dumbest thing Belasco owns is they said “a cat” and that’s fair (and then they later added “6 stolen lemons”, which Belasco stole because Ulrich wouldn’t tell him where he got the lemons in the first place)

73) Who wears/would wear the most colorful or extravagant clothing?Out of everyone in the party, Taber and Belasco both, and Belasco might be a little more extravagant. As far as extravagantly fancy, that would be Zuzanna; for just plain extravagant, Esovera, see point 23

75) What’s a secret one of them have been hiding from the rest?For the longest time Aracelli had been hiding the fact that she was spellscarred, and Taber had been hiding the fact that Deniel is her brother and not her cousin. She’s also hiding the details of what she had to do under the Broker’s servitude, and Belasco is not only hiding as much personal information as he fucking can, but he’s hiding it by lying about it

7 - 27

7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood?

Donnie grew up wealthy so true friends were hard to come by and for his parents being in the public eye all the time him and his siblings were put into a private school.

All Donnie want’s it fur babies, but the adoption door isn’t sealed shut just yet, maybe he’ll find the one. His older brother has a kid of his own so he’s been a baby sitter many times. Put a 5 year old in front of a tv and they are set.

Surprisingly he’s not a bad cook. Growing up the Brey’s had a nanny that made them snacks and would cook for them when their parents had to stay at work late. Watching her and also helping her sometimes he picked up some skills. Plus he’s been forced to go to cooking classes with Kayla.

Donnie likes to cook but not for himself, he’d rather order food then make it. Only a lucky few have tried his cooking so unless they are lying then they like it.

16. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it?

It may sound nerdy but he’s into collection Funko Pop’s. Something about them is interests him. Donnie’s favorites sit on a shelf above his tv then the other’s are stored in four big plastic bin’s. His collection has grown over the years and now owns over 200.

21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper?

Donnie does a a bad temper. and he knows it and he owns it. It’s who he is and cant do to much to change it. He’s patient to an extent. If he has to wait on somebody when he’s told them to be ready or meet him somewhere by a certain time he get’s mad.

Losing his temper is very scary. He really cant control what he does and it always get’s him in trouble. Donnie usually shakes and get’s red.

22. What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back?

One thing people like about hi is how honest and straight forward he his. Donnie is not scared to tell a person that he doesn’t like them. Honestly he doesn’t have a favorite insult he just tell’s it how it is.

23. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces?

Donnie is very forgetful not on Dory’s leave though. He can remember important things but other things slip his mind. Remembering names is not a very strong suit but he’s good with faces.

24. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress?

Being a GOGO dancer Donnie sleeping pattern is pretty messed up. From the long night’s to after parties he usually doesn’t crawl into bed until 5:30 or even 6AM. Donnie could sleep on a floor and be comfortable all he needs is his tempurpedic pillow.

25. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves?

Donnie finds comic-relief in many thing’s he is always laughing and enjoying life. People like to have him around because how funny and quick witted he is. Everybody want’s a sassy gay best friend.

26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions?

Donnie thinks he’s a Disney Princess, So being happy is key. cleaning his apartment he’s waiting for birds and squirrels to help him clean. After his break-up he hides his emotions from time to time just because he’s scared to let his guard down.

27. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad?

When Donnie get’s sad he shut’s out the whole world. Like a normal person death makes him sad, Honestly donnie really never cried growing up he though he was broken but after losing his aunt everything hit the fan and he cry’s all the time now, not in front of people but in the safeness of his own apartment.
