#…she’s honestly expecting him to yell at her and be mean 🥺

[akuzeisms]

@chaotiicgoods asked:

“ what they did to you, is not you ” - kaidan

He’d asked her to come. After the horrors that happened on Horizon, after the harsh words lobbed at her by Williams, Kat wasn’t sure it was a good idea. Nevertheless, the urge to find something familiar to cling on to drive her to meet with him, despite how distant and numb she felt. It hadn’t taken long; somehow, Alenko had a knack for finding the little chinks in her armour to wedge his way past it. It certainly didn’t take long for him to figure out what was bothering her… and call her out on it.

Damn Kaidan Alenko and his people skills.

Kat scoffed at his words, shaking her head as she turned away from him, hands gripping the railing until her knuckles were white underneath her gloves. “Isn’t it? Hell, I don’t—I don’t know any more, Kaidan! I don’t—” Kat hung her head, staring down at the floor. The scars on her face burned angrily, and it took every ounce of willpower for her not to reach for them. Ashley’s words on Horizon had been more than harsh, and she practically expected the same from Kaidan. Why had she bothered to meet with him? At this point, she was sure she was just setting herself up for more disappointment.

“I don’t feel like me, Kaidan. I feel… wrong. My—the scars I had from Akuze, they…” they were gone. The scars they had defined her, that spoke of the horrors she’d endured, the agony, the suffering, all of it; it was like it never happened. Like she wasn’t Katrina; she was just something that walked and talked like her, with implanted memories. Fake ones, probably.

“Forget it. It—it doesn’t matter. I—” My feelings on the situation don’t matter. “…all I can say to you is that I’m sorry. I’m sorry… that I left you. It wasn’t my choice.” I’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry I broke your heart. I’m sorry you lost me—and I’m sorry this looks so horrible. All words she wanted to say, but they caught in her throat. “…why did you ask me to meet you, Kaidan?” Whatever hesitations he wanted to throw at her to add to Williams’ words, she was prepared for them. Surely he couldn’t be any harsher than she had.

Imma need a part 2 of bothersome🫣🥺PLEASEEE

Bothersome - Part 2

LAW X READER!! (PLEASE SEND MORE REQUESTS! PLEASE! 🙏)

You stood at the edge of the ship, watching the sunset slowly set. After Punk Hazard, you all returned back to the ship. Out to Dressrosa, to help Law with whatever he was planning. “So you’re just going to ignore me?” That deep voice called out to you. You continued staring out to the sea, hearing footsteps behind you come closer. You could sense him standing next to you, staring at you.

“What’s wrong with that? You did it to me throughout our relationship,” you said softly.

“I’m sorry, (Y/N). Please forgive me, what I did was wrong and I don’t want this affecting the allia-“ you quickly cut him off. “Why would our past affect the alliance? Did you honestly think I haven’t moved on by now?” You laughed. “I-… No I didn’t think that, but…” he trailed off. “Don’t worry, I’ll happily accept my captain’s orders… even if it means having to be in alliance with you,” you said coldly.

You turned around and headed towards the girl’s quarters. “(Y/N), I wasn’t done speaking!” He said, as he followed me. “Ok, so what else did you have to say?” You asked as you turned back to face him. “U-Uh… well you look… nice. How have you… been?” He asked awkwardly. “You really want to have a quick catch up?” You scoffed. “Well like you said we’re in an alliance now, so we should be able to have civil conversations,” he explained. You raised an eyebrow, “Traffy, weren’t you the one that tried to explain to Luffy that an alliance doesn’t mean we’re friends?” You asked.

“Not you using that dumb name too… a-and I did but-“ you cut him off. “Exactly! Thank you for remembering! Now I’ll be off to my room,” you said as you turned back and quickly entered your room before he could stop you.

You threw yourself on your bed, “Just another example of having the worst luck ever… Now I have to see and help my ex for who knows how long,” you sighed as you stared at the ceiling. “This is all so stupid and awkward!” You said to yourself as you rubbed your head. Out of all people, him?! At this point you would’ve preferred if Kidd showed up or something… And what the hell is up with him trying to have small talk with me? Does he expect me to be buddy buddy with him like nothing happened?

You quickly sat up, and shook your head. “Stop thinking about him. We’re over him, he doesn’t affect us anymore…” you said to yourself as you felt tears fall down your face. “God I’m so stupid!” You yelled.

Suddenly you heard the door open, and you quickly wiped away any tears. “(Y/N)? Are you awake?” You heard Robin call out. “Hi Robin,” you sniffled. “What’s wrong?” She asked as she sat on the edge of your bed. “It’s nothing, just some bad memories…” you said, as you avoided her eyes. “You know you can tell me, I’m your friend (Y/N),” she smiled as she placed her hand on top of mine. “I know, thanks,” you smiled softly. “I came to check on you, because I saw how upset you looked after speaking with Trafalgar,” she replied. “Yeah, I just don’t feel too comfortable around him,” you confessed. “You should tell Luffy, I’m sure he’ll under-“ you quickly cut her off. “No! No…” you repeated. “I can’t let him know! I can’t-“ you shut your mouth, afraid of your voice cracking.

“Let him get to you? I don’t understand,” she said, confused. You sat there in silence, pondering whether to tell her or not. “(Y/N), I’ll always be here for you. Do you and Trafalgar have a past history?” She asked. “Mhmm… I used to be a part of his crew, before I left…” you trailed off. “You left? Why?” She asked. “We were dating… until he shared his true feelings with me. I couldn’t stay there, not after what he said to me… So I left, while he was distracted by some Marines,” you explained, feeling a heavy weight fall off your shoulder. “Oh my,” Robin gasped. “Yep, so now we’re in an alliance with him. It’s weird, and I’ve moved on… but it sucks seeing him,” you said slowly.

“I see,” she said softly. “It’s ok, we’ll show him that you’ve grown. That no matter what he does, he can’t hurt you. Especially when you have friends here that will support you,” she smiled as he wrapped me into a hug. “You’re right!” You grinned. Your beautiful moment was quickly interrupted by your stomach growling. “Ah… I guess all this talk got me hungry,” you said sheepishly. “Let’s go get dinner,” Robin said. You nodded and the both of you quickly headed to the dining table.

You sat in between Robin and Luffy, and across from… Law. “Here you go everyone, dinner’s ready!” Sanji smiled as he sat down to eat. “Thank you,” we all said and quickly began eating. You reached forward for a rice ball, and brushed your hands against Law’s. You immediately flinched, looking up to see him staring your way.

You quickly grabbed a rice ball and pulled your arm away. You began to eat, trying to look anywhere but his direction. “Hey (Y/N)!” Said Luffy, breaking you out of your concentration. “Y-Yes?” You stuttered as you looked next to you. “Are you gonna finish your meat?” He asked, drooling. “Luffy! Leave (Y/N)’s food alone!” Sanji yelled. “It’s fine, you can have it Luffy,” you smiled as you handed him your plate.

“Thanks!” He smiled, but it quickly turned into a frown as he stared at you. “Something wrong?” You asked. “Yeah… one sec,” he said as he moved his hand to your face. Slowly wiping away at your cheek, you felt your cheeks heat up. “Sorry, you had rice on your cheek,” he laughed. “Oh, thanks,” you smiled. “Ow!” Luffy yelled, causing everyone to focus their attention on him. “Someone stepped on me!” He huffed. “Huh?” You questioned.

“You’re just imagining it,” Nami said. “Here Luffy, take my sandwich,” you said as you placed it onto his plate. “Wow!” He said, quickly changing his focus back onto his food. You slowly turned your eyes to the man in front of you. You almost fell out of your seat, once seeing the daggers that this man was staring into you.

“I-I’ll think I’ll call it an early night, night you guys,” you said as you quickly headed out of the dining room.

“Man that was tense,” you sighed as you walked towards your room. You slowly reached for the door knob, before suddenly being turned over and being pushed against the wall. You grunted as your back hit the door, you quickly opened your eyes to see that you were trapped by… Law… “T-Traffy?” You asked nervously. “So I see that you moved on, but I didn’t know you had a thing for captains,” he said coldly. “Woah… Woah… you think I moved from you onto Luffy? You’re crazy,” you laughed.

You noticed a light pink hue on his cheeks, as you continued to laugh. “Well why the blushy face when he reached for your face?” He questioned. “Well… wouldn’t anyone blush if you had food on your face and your friend took it off?” You asked. “I- Uh-“ you quickly cut him off. “Look like someone else needs to move on,” you laughed again, while slowly turning around to open the door. But was quickly turned back around, “Stop messing with me!” He yelled.

“What do you want from me? Do you still wish that I head head over heels for you, well tough shit cause you messed that up!” You yelled. You noticed that he was slightly taken aback by your response. “So what if I end up liking Luffy or whoever! That has nothing to do with you! You’re nothing to me, nothing,” you growled as you pushed him away.

“I’m not the same girl anymore, that would follow your every word. Or kiss the floor where you stepped on,” you glared. “So just leave me alone… haven’t you done enough?” You asked as you were finally able to open the door to the girls’ quarters. You quickly entered the door, ignoring Law’s calls for you. As you went to slam the door, a foot stopped it from slamming.

“Jesus Christ, you just don’t know when to leave a girl alone…” you groaned. “I’m sorry… I just want to say that I’m sorry,” he peeked through. “Ok now mov-“ he cut you off. “I’m sorry… for what I said. When you left, I realized how much I missed you- needed you… We went back to the island, but you were already gone. I don’t know what went over me, I-I missed your laughs, your smile, you interrupting me from my work, calling me honey… I know I screwed up, and seeing you now… Just reminds me of when we were still together… but I guess that’ll never be the case again,” he confessed. You stayed silent. “I’ll leave you alone, or as much as I can… I just wanted to let you know how I felt,” he said softly before removing his foot. Finally allowing you to shut the door.

You let out a deep sigh, and slowly slid down against the door. “Why do I feel like this?” You asked yourself as you clenched your hair. “What do I do now…?” You softly cried into your arms.

Wasn’t sure how mean I was gonna be today but I can’t resist Alfie do lots of Alfie sentences please and thank you 😘💜

👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼 👨‍🍼

And one more for luck:

👨‍🍼

Here’s the old Alfie art for motivation 💜

39 Alfie sentences!!! Your wish is, as always, my command. And I LOVE the Alfie art, thank you so much 🥺 you get two bonus sentences for that 😊

“Anyways!” he interjects before either of them can come up with another reason to roast him. “Tommy and I actually had reason behind coming and finding you.” “Ah, are you looking for sage advice from your elder? What can I help you two with?” Bobby sets down the tea towel he’d been holding and places both hands on the counter, an expectant but friendly look on his face. “Well actually, we more wanted to ask something of you,” Tommy explains. “Or, Evan did.” Bobby’s gaze settles on Buck, and he swallows thickly. It really shouldn’t be this nerve-wracking to ask this of Bobby, considering everything they’ve been though together, but in all of these years, neither of them have ever put words to this dynamic between. Everyone else in the station has been happy to – muttering “father and son” at least once a week – but it’s not something either Buck or Bobby have openly acknowledged. Until now, at least. “Tommy and I, uh, we realised the other day that Alfie doesn’t really have any grandparents near him. I’m not really in contact with Mom and Dad these days, and Tommy obviously hasn’t spoken to his parents in years.” Buck watches as Bobby’s expression changes, initially his brows furrowed inquisitively before smoothing out as a look of understanding passes over him. Like he knows where this is going. Buck takes a step back, searching for Tommy’s hand. As their fingers lace together, he feels his anxiety seep from him, strength taken from his husband’s presence. “S-so we were – we were hoping that maybe – if it’s okay with you guys of course – th-that you and Athena could be like his grandparents? If you’d be comfortable with that?” The words are barely out of Buck’s mouth before Bobby’s arms are around him, pulling him into a tight hug. He can feel Bobby’s fingers digging into the meat of his shoulders as he clutches Buck to him, as though he’s afraid he’ll disappear. He’s released almost as quickly, but Bobby keeps a hand on his shoulder. There are tears in his eyes, mirroring the ones threatening to spill in Buck’s own, and Bobby reaches up to wipe them away before speaking. “I would be honoured to. Honestly, you two have no idea how much that means to me, and how much I’m sure it’ll mean to Athena. We both love that little boy so much, and you two as well. It means the world that you asked.” “Well we figured, what with all the jokes about you being like Evan’s father, that we’d make you officially Alfie’s grandpa. Seems like the least we could do to repay everything you’ve done for us,” Tommy says, his hand settling on the small of Buck’s back. Bobby laughs wetly, taking another swipe at his eyes. “Yeah well, someone had to parent that kid. You should have seen him back then, Tommy.” “Oh, I’ve heard the stories.” Tommy smirks and he presses a cheeky kiss to Buck’s temple. Buck curls into Tommy, resting his head against Tommy’s shoulder. He feels light and floaty, the relief that had surged through him after Bobby’s response akin to helium. He’s about to open his mouth to thank Bobby when Jee comes barrelling into the kitchen, all limbs and pre-schooler excitement. “UNCLE BUCK!” she yells, launching herself at him, and he catches her around the middle, hoisting her up into his arms. “Daddy says to tell you guys to get your lazy asses into the lounge so we can open presents!” “That is not what I said!” Chimney yells from the lounge, and Jee covers her mouth with her hand, letting out a little giggle. “Yes it is,” she whispers conspiratorially in Buck’s ear. “But he told me to say it nicer.”

Make Me Write!!!

[beevean]

I know TvTropes is edited by different people, but I would dearly love to understand their general logic.

You find this in the YMMV page of Lament of Innocence:

Mathias is not afforded much grace for acting out of desperate grief, to the point that apparently some thought he didn't even deserve a second chance in the form of Soma.

Now, I would argue that LoI doesn't even expect you to cry over Mathias. It's very obvious that he has become a despicable person, using his friend as a pawn, causing the death of said friend's fiancée and not shedding a compassionate tear over her, and even believing he would be joined in immortality. But yes, I agree, Mathias is pitiable only to an extent: "wife died" is not exactly a compelling argument for rejecting humanity to the degree that he did.

... but then what about this, TvTropes? From the YMMV page of NFCV?

(you'd think Mathias would also get the moniker of Jerkass Woobie. nope)

One, NFCV didn't come up with the idea of Dracula lashing out due to the grief of Lisa's death. It comes from SoTN. NFCV only put more emphasis on it. Stop giving the show undeserved credit.

Two, really? Really. N!Dracula is really that sympathetic, that most of the voices he gets are all about how much of a poow bapyboy he is? What the hell do you mean, "he makes a good case against humanity"???? This piece of shit wanted to exterminate humankind and vampirekind (because he was aware that they'd all starve to death, he just refused to give a fuck) because one village didn't rise up against a bishop! When he yells "there are no innocents, not anymore", do you take him seriously?????

He does get a Moral Even Horizon voice, but it feels half-hearted, to say the least:

If you think it's hard not to sympathize with him and that being brought back as a treat rectifies it, then by definition it's not a Moral Event Horizon, because the very definition of the trope is that it's an act that makes a character completely and utterly unforgivable, on par with Griffith sacrificing the Band of the Hawk and raping Casca, to make a famous example.

(funnily enough they do the same with Lenore under the same trope, saying that apparently she understood that she crossed the line and tried to make amends. There's not, however, mention of Isaac killing innocent people and defiling their corpses for his selfish purposes. Inch-resting.)

I really, really am made uncomfortable by the serious apologism N!Dracula gets, and only because he cries a little more than his game counterpart. "He makes a good case against humanity", huh? Do you have any idea how many genocides started from motivations that were seen as reasonable? How many dictators tried, and are trying, to kill many for the perceived sins of few? Yes, I am fully aware that N!Dracula is a fictional villain, and he benefits from a cool design, suave voice, and multiple Pet The Dog Moments, I'm not really saying that his fans condone real crimes... but just like Lenore fans who justify her abuse and rape with real life rape apologism arguments such as "Hector consented at first" or "she wanted his own good", the rhetoric used here is honestly appalling.

But yes, on a pettier note, I'm also salty that game Dracula isn't afforded the same sympathy, even though he too is bereaved by grief. He just doesn't express it in a pitiable enough way. It's easier to go all 🥺 at a depressed man moping in a chair, isn't it? Ignore how said depressed man has hired two misanthropes to Forge demons to routinely send to slaughter innocent humans! It's off-screen, after all :) you don't need to see it :)

But you know who gets called Unintentionally Unsympathetic in the show?

And here I say what I said about Mathias: there is nothing "unintentional" about this, the show has zero pity for the peasants who were slaughtered. Much like you, person who roots for Dracula, the writing too painted them as stupid because believing the CHURCH BAD, and therefore, like all stupid people, deserving of gruesome punishment. Peasants are low-class and religious, and as such deserve death. "Cool" murderers like Dracula and Isaac, who are so intelligent and above the petty masses, instead deserve everything on a silver platter.

I really despise this show and the messages it sends. And the general anti-game bias, of course.

[my-vash-meryl-stuff]

You know I made enough serious and angsty posts about Vashmeryl, and for whatever reason my mind remind of an scene in Servant x Service that I think would fit vashmeryl way too much.

(Sorry, I tried to search, but there weren't any videos to embed 🥲)

You can even decide if the scene fits better in any of the versions, or as a canon setting or an AU but basically it goes as it follows:

Vash and Meryl have been dancing around each other for a long time, everyone knows that they like each other, a few others know that they love each other, Vash will even throw around random jokes (*cough* wishful thinking *cough*) about him courting Meryl and calling their friendly outings dates, that never go anywhere because he's too insecure to actually pursue her, and Meryl just kinda lets it slide because she also likes to indulge in that wishful thinking, because she doesn't think Vash means anything serious with it either, because did I forget to mention they're so painfully oblivious to the other's feelings? And maybe more in a selective obliviousness flavor because of their personal hang-ups.

One day as Vash catches Milly having a talk with other coworkers of hers and Meryl and he goes to say hi, but ends up overhearing gossip from them, something that he often sets aside to fill Meryl on, since she's always so focused on work to enjoy them, and in between all the bustling and noise and him attempting to hear, he ends up hearing about Meryl upcoming wedding!! And honestly his expression would probably be worthy of this reaction:

To say that he ends up feeling depressed would be a severe understatement, he is absolutely deflated, dragging himself up everywhere and carrying a cloud over his head with everyone he talks to, breaking into tears if he so much as hears or sees anything romantic, and actually worrying people or downright scaring them because on top of it he goes around talking about nonsensical fatalistic stuff.

When he sees Meryl he debates for way too long on asking her because he's afraid of blowing it up, of crying or yelling, so he barely musters enough courage to ask super vague questions which she only answers with non-committal responses, but because of his state of mind, everything she says is warped into some sort of lovey-dovey filter of her talking sweet nothings about her future husband.

Which is just the type of distorted thinking you would expect someone like Vash to have, especially because most of these conversations tend to go along the lines of this:

Vash: ...So... when it's the big day?

Meryl *thinkin about some weekend plans*: Um, if everything is ready by then in 2 months...

Vash: you... look so happy...

Meryl: Of course! I've been postponing it for a long time and I'm done waiting!

Vash: ...I guess I did make you wait then...

Meryl *thinking about her schedule*: Well you were a little late I guess?

Vash: ...who is he?

Meryl *looking behind her*: Jim ... from accounting I think?

Vash *thinking*: She would marry a random dude instead of me?? 🥺😭

And as it turns out the whole misunderstanding ends up being something dumb, like maybe Meryl being a guest at a coworker's wedding or something of the like, and that he absolutely gets embarrassed when he figures out...

But it also makes him realize that he can't keep hesitanting about his feelings for Meryl.

[helluvashitposter]

This is the first time I'm gonna get in on reviewing the new Helluva boss episode because this was the one I was most excited for! But before I do that, I'm saying it now:

I saw a lot of negative reviews were focused around the Ozzie texts between Stolas and Blitzo and well...I'm sorry guys but my main focus is on THIS MAN RIGHT HERE

So without further a dooooooooo...

I honestly enjoyed Striker in this episode! I love seeing a wackier side of him and not just edgy edge lord, low voice, "I'm gonna eat your kids" through the whole episode. I understand why some people were super disappointed in him not being as threatening as he was in the first episode, but hey. This is a cartoon about dumb demons and sex, I try not to take it too seriously already! (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

(I also wanna say this now, I was also one of the people taken back by the change in voice actors, but I ain't even gonna let that bother me too much: I know folks like Norman are gonna be mighty expensive or too busy to keep around. As sad as it is, if I can get used to Stolas new voice, I can do the same for this one as long as it means more Strike!)

Speaking of Striker, the main criticism I keep seeing is that he was too egotistical, and because of that statue everyone is just saying he was another Chaz. But I honestly don't get this one?

Striker was ALWAYS just as entitled and self centered in the first episode: Did we forget this man literally made a song all about how awesome he is (That didn't even rhyme) And his speech to Blitz where he talked about how he was above the imps? The statue seems pretty in character for him! Striker has always sucked his own dick, maybe it was a little overzealous but definitely not enough for me to say he was just a full blown Chaz!

Plus, that man still took his job pretty damn serious! Never once was Striker incompetent or a dumbass in this episode. He knew his mission and he was damn malicious about, I mean if you gonna try to tell me this man wasn't just as bloodthirsty as he was last time-

This man has never once hesitated to hurt anyone who gets in his way or just for the fun of it and I think it still shows greatly here!

All and all, I have to disagree with everyone saying his character was "ruined" or "too Chaz like" Striker definitely did not spend the episode going on and on about how his dick is the biggest or how everyone wants to fuck him like Chaz would. (R.i.p Chaz, I love you sweetie!) As left field as the statue was, it definitely didn't steal from the fact that this man was once again determined to finish his job. Which got taken away from him by Stella at the last minute, which he was super bummed about, but he does get paid extra soooo! 🎉🎉🎉

(Full disclaimer: I didn't really care for the Stella part of the episode, I do like the voice actor for snowy owl though. But overall they really were just there...it's really hard to say anything about it other than the fact that she didn't want Stolas killed sooooo (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠))

Now for the big stuff: The pacing.

I have to say...I do have to agree with everyone when they say the pacing was all over the place. I have to admit: With all the trailers that we were getting, I was expecting this bad boy to be long as hell! At least a good 25 to 30 minutes because we were getting all kinds of things! But man...

Even though the little vet visit was funny, and I am a huge fan of that cute lil goat doctor, it did take away from the actual tension. I came here for badass Striker! And not to mention M&M barely got time to shine as well! The pacing really was just:

BOOM! STRIKER KIDNAPPED STOLAS--

Loona scared of vet 🥺

BAM! MOXXIE AND MILLIE ARE GONNA TAKE ON STRIKER BY THEMSELVES, OOOOOO POWER COUPLE--

Blitz and Karen yell at each other 🤬

RAAAAAH, STRIKER STABBY STOLAS, MILLIE AND MOXXIE CRASH THROUGH ROOF THOUGH, IT'S TIME FOR THE MOST EPIC FIGHT--

Loona got her shot 😊

I feel like we totally got robbed on a much more epic fight and some shades thrown from M&M and Striker, especially when it was a highlight of the trailer! These two being able to properly settle a score with Striker would have really made for such an amazing tension scene since they were the main ones who were affected by him in the first episode. LIKE GUYS, LET MOX AND MILL SHINE WHEN BLITZO ISN'T AROUND, I BEG YOU! THEY'RE AMAZING TOO!! 😭

I will stand by everyone when they say: WE NEED MORE MILLIE DAMNIT!

The ending with Stolas definitely tugged at my heart strings, I won't lie! But again, I'm not here for the Stolitz angst, I was just here to see Strikey boy. WHO DIDN'T DIE, SO YES! TAKE THAT TWITTER!!! MY BOY GETS TO HUNT ANOTHER DAY, AND NOT ONCE DID HE GET HIT BY A TRAIN, IN FACT HE APPARENTLY LOVES THEM SO HA!!

All and all, I will say Harvest moon was peek Striker. It's gonna be hard to ever top that, Norman Striker will forever be missed! But at the end of the day, I did enjoy seeing my favorite cowboy again, and there's apparently some more lore behind him as well that we'll hopefully get to see in the later seasons. I'm just glad I can easily sleep tonight knowing that he wasn't just killed off in the second episode we get him in! 🙏

So it was a good time all around! Especially watching it with my favorite person 💕

[waynes-multiverse]

Reunited and it feels so goooood ☺️ I’m back with my babes! And good God, Linda, that chapter was not any less angsty, and why do you just wanna see me cry? 😭 Well, the aftermath of what you did this time is below the cut:

First of all, it’s so cute how she wakes up and immediately sees all her loved ones there, even Cas. It truly warms my heart how much they care about her, not that I expected anything less. But they’re such a cute and caring family 🥺❤️

And God, Dean holding her hand when she woke up almost broke me with all the fluffiness 😭 I-I- just want to be happy, goddammit 😩

She gave a kind of feeble wave.

"Hi." she said, lamely.

I had to. You understand 😂😂😂❤️

But Dean was beaming down at her like she'd just given the most rousing of speeches.

He’s so smitten and in love with her!!!! Back to my earlier point, please just let them be happy! I’m begging you 😭👏

The others nodded reluctantly, but Dean sat back on the uncomfortable chair. "No, I'm gonna stay here."

Bless his stubborn heart 😂💚 Of course, he wasn’t gonna leave, but I love that the doctor held her own until he grumbled away lol

"Fine." he said quietly. "Can I have two minutes?"

Dr. Doshi nodded as she turned away. "Just two and no more." Dean rolled his eyes.

I can see him doing that! 🤣

"God, Jules, I'm so sorry. I should have sent Cas to you a long time ago to hide you from them. It was so careless...so..." he broke off, his jaw clenched.

I mean, yes, but you fixed it now! No need to play the blame game again. How about you Winchesters pick up Monopoly or Twister for once, huh?

Instead of ending her tears like Dean had hoped, her sobs increased.

Dean was immediately contrite. "Jules, this...it was supposed to help!"

I loved them so much 😂😂😂 I understand Julie. I would’ve only started sobbing more, too. It’s also such a boy/girl thing. Everytime I’m sad and my husband tries to cheer me up, I just end up crying more because he’s too sweet 😂🙈

She pulled him in for a kiss that was meant to be quick, but turned heated and extended as soon as her lips met his. Ten months of wanting his mouth on hers made it very difficult to stop or pull away.

Duh. Go get it, girl. Ram your tongue down that man’s throat. You have all our blessing 🥵

“It’s five friggin’ minutes! Are you kidding me?” He wasn’t exactly yelling, but he could definitely be heard.

Again, bless him 😂❤️ Honestly, this might be my favorite Dean chapter so far. I just love him in this one. His concern and the way he worries about her and reacts to everything is just so him, and he’s so adorable! At the same time, I really wanna give this poor man a hug. He’s been through a lot 😭

“She’s eating breakfast, and you’re telling me you didn’t know if she was awake?”

I snorted so hard at this 🤣

“We’ve gotta go, Dean.”

CAS!!!! 🤬 *grabs angel blade and prepares to smite* Take her with you! Take her with you! Take her with you! TAKE HER WITH YOU! I swear to God if that stupid man leaves her behind again, I will murder him for real this time 😑

Dean shook his head and smiled at Julie. “He grows on you.”

He really does 😂💕🐝

Dean inhaled deeply. “Cas says there’s a rogue cupid in a little town back east.”

Ooooh! I feel like this episode would’ve been so interesting to see with this Dean! Would he have been craving Julie or would he have still felt “empty”? I’d be so curious to know what happened there! 🤓

Suddenly there was a very loud beeping noise coming from one of the machines beside the bed and a nurse came rushing in. 

I. CAN’T. 🤣🤣🤣 Nothing like Dean Winchester rocking your vitals 😏🔥

“I’m pretty sure most of the medical team looking after you wants to throttle me.”

Uhm, yes, but we wouldn’t have it any other way 😘

“God, Dean. Just let me love you.”

That goodbye broke me 😭💔

She did see him a lot sooner. He showed up on her doorstep three months later, when his world ended.

Dude, that ending!!! 😳 Is Sam already “dead” when he comes back to her? I feel like I will go through much more hurt, considering I have a few more chapters. I doubt you’ll make it easy for me from now on 😅 I love this series so much! And I’m glad you continued it with a few spin-offs because I don’t know what I’d do if it ends and I don‘t get to see my cuties again 🖤

Love you, babe 😘

Chapter Summary: What will happen for Julie and Dean when she wakes up?

A/N:  The eleventh chapter in a longer series. As I’m writing, the story is stretching out a little and I’m thinking it’s going to be at least 20 chapters. Sorry! 😬 It’s what I’ll call cannon adjacent. It will follow the general storylines through the seasons, but I’m creating my own offshoots. 😊

A/N 2: I'm SO sorry this chapter was two weeks in coming. RL got all up in my face! LOL! The next chapter should be up by the end of this coming week. I hope chapter 11 was worth the wait even though it's a bit short. I know for sure the next chapter will be pretty long, so I figured I wouldn't tire you out with this one! 😉

The beautiful divider at the end was created by @talesmaniac89. 💗

Julie's eyelids felt heavier than lead as she tried to force them open. The room was dim, but still bright to her exhausted eyeballs. They felt grainy and dry, but she finally managed to keep them open long enough to take in her surroundings.

She was in a bed.

She looked down at her chest to see the countless tubes and wires that were connected to her.

Check that - she was in a hospital bed.

She looked passed the end of her bed, to her right, and saw Sam's very long frame scrunched up on a tiny, two person, blue vinyl, hospital couch.

It made her smile.

Then at the foot of her bed were two wooden chairs, covered in more vinyl, yellow and orange this time. One of the chairs held a dozing Bobby, his hat over his eyes and his mouth open slightly, a light snore issuing from it.

The other chair held a man in a tan trench coat, staring at the floor. She didn't recognize him, but there was a sort of vague familiarity there that she couldn't put her finger on.

Sitting beside her on her left, was Dean.

His hand was pushed through the side rail of the bed so it rested over hers. He sat upright in what looked like the world's most uncomfortable chair, the blue vinyl that covered parts of the arms and back was cracked and tufts of white stuffing were sticking out.

He couldn't possibly be comfortable, and yet he was sleeping. Maybe he was just exhausted Julie reasoned, since there were dark purple circles under his eyes and his cheeks looked sunken and pale. He had what looked like several days worth of beard covering his face and Julie found she wanted to reach up and run her fingers through it.

As she shifted her hand under his, intending to do just that, his eyes sprung open and then widened in shock.

"Jules." he whispered. Then he shouted, "Jules!"

The other three men jumped to their feet, Sam's legs a little rubbery under him after being constricted for so long.

"Sam, go get the doctor." Dean shouted at him and Sam nodded, his deep dimples showing in his wide grin as he dashed out the door.

Julie shook her head, overwhelmed by all the faces staring at her in expectation. She gave a kind of feeble wave.

"Hi." she said, lamely.

But Dean was beaming down at her like she'd just given the most rousing of speeches. Bobby was surreptitiously wiping away tears and the handsome blue-eyed man at the end of the bed gave her a small smile and a nod.

He continued to be familiar, his identity just out of reach. Dean saw her staring at him and smiled.

"Oh, yeah. Guess you guys haven't officially met. Cas, this is Julie. Jules, this is Cas."

Julie remembered suddenly where she recognized him from. He'd been with Bobby and Sam when they came to fight the angels.

"Angels." Julie whispered.

It all came rushing back to her memory and she closed her eyes, her breath catching as the fear and terror came rushing back to her.

Dean leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead. "It's okay, Jules. You're safe now." Before he could say anything more, the doctor came in, with a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning, Ms. Taylor. I'm Dr. Doshi." She said with a hint of a musical Indian accent lilting her words. "We've been a little worried about you. You've had quite the room full of champions here these last few days." she said, indicating the four very large men taking up most of the room.

"Days?" Julie asked, shocked.

"Yes." The doctor said as she pushed her way in between Dean and the bed, paying no mind to his hulking presence or his refusal to move.

She looked at the machines that were beeping around Julie and wrote on the clipboard she carried before tucking it under her arm and laying her hand on Julie’s shoulder.

"It was almost three days ago that you were mugged and stabbed. Do you remember what happened?"

Julie looked at Dean and he smiled. "Oh, um...no, I'm sorry. I don't remember much of anything."

The doctor nodded and smiled kindly again, patting her and moving off to the other side of the bed to mark down numbers from those blinking and beeping machines.

"Not to worry, my dear. That's very common when someone suffers a trauma as you did. It may come back to you slowly, or it may not come back at all. But for now the most important thing is that you continue to rest and improve."

She moved to the foot of the bed and hung the clipboard there. "You had a puncture to your spleen and had emergency surgery to remove it. You shouldn't worry about the loss, since your liver will take over for most of the functions your spleen carried out."

Julie just nodded feeling as though her head might split from the sheer amount of data being processed by her brain.

"You lost a lot of blood, and we were quite concerned for some time about the excessive internal bleeding you’d suffered. You also had an infection take hold at the site of the wound, but you seem to be coming along nicely now. Your vitals are good, and you're awake which is a very big sign of improvement."

The doctor turned to the men. "Now gentlemen, against all the rules of the hospital, I have given you permission to stay here while Ms. Taylor's condition was so unstable. But I'm afraid now, I must insist that you go get a proper night's sleep for yourselves, eat food, and return tomorrow when visiting hours begin."

The others nodded reluctantly, but Dean sat back on the uncomfortable chair. "No, I'm gonna stay here."

Dr. Doshi smiled sweetly, but her voice was like steel. "No, Mr. Winchester, you will not stay here. You will leave with your friends and let Ms. Taylor rest. She is only going to sleep now, anyway."

Julie turned her head to Dean in time to see him give the little doctor the most withering stare he could muster up. "Yes, and when she wakes up, I will be here."

"Dean." Julie admonished quietly. But she needn't have bothered. Dr. Doshi was not impressed with or bothered by his steely demeanor.

"You will be here in the morning when visiting hours begin, at seven AM."

The doctor stared at the hunter, never losing her smile, but never giving an inch either. Clearly Dean was not the first stubborn patient or family she'd dealt with and she would brook no nonsense.

Finally her eyes softened slightly and she leaned forward to pat Dean's hand. "I promise we'll take good care of her, haven't we so far?"

Dean nodded, begrudgingly.

Dr. Doshi nodded back. "And so now I must insist that you don't make yourself our next patient. Please go take care of yourselves." she said, looking around and including the other three men in her concern.

Dean caved. Orders and commands he could fight, but he got awkward when someone showed concern for him, and he never really knew how to act.

"Fine." he said quietly. "Can I have two minutes?"

Dr. Doshi nodded as she turned away. "Just two and no more." Dean rolled his eyes.

Bobby and Sam came and gave her a hug telling her they'd be back first thing. Cas shook her hand a little stiffly and patted Dean on the shoulder as he left.

Dean looked down at her and suddenly the room was very empty and quiet. Julie smiled at him, completely unsure how to act now that they were alone. She was so tired and her mind was still swimming with everything it was trying to process.

Seeming to understand, Dean just leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek before he pulled back and took her hand.

"I'll go and let you sleep. I just wanted to let you know that you'll be safe. Cas branded your ribs."

Julie's eyes got wide. "He did what?"

Dean smiled. "It's an Enochian sigil. It will keep you hidden from the angels. Cas carved it into your ribs, it's what he did for me and Sam."

His eyes got dark, and Julie could see guilt rear up in his expression. "God, Jules, I'm so sorry. I should have sent Cas to you a long time ago to hide you from them. It was so careless...so..." he broke off, his jaw clenched.

"Dean, don't." Julie said, tears coming to her eyes.

She wasn't sure why she was crying. Maybe it was just the culmination of everything that had happened, or maybe it was her sadness at knowing that no matter what she said, Dean wouldn't let go of bearing the guilt for what had happened. Whatever the reason, tears spilled down her cheeks and Dean shook his head.

"Don't cry, Sweetheart." He let go of her hand and reached into his jacket pocket.

"Here. Maybe you could use this again." He said as he opened his hand to show her what he’d pulled out.

Hanging from a thin piece of black cloth was her cherished silver talisman. He tied the delicate cloth around her wrist like a bracelet.

Instead of ending her tears like Dean had hoped, her sobs increased.

Dean was immediately contrite. "Jules, this...it was supposed to help!"

Julie laughed through her tears. "It does. Really." She reached up for him and he immediately leaned down to her so she wouldn't have to stretch.

She pulled him in for a kiss that was meant to be quick, but turned heated and extended as soon as her lips met his. Ten months of wanting his mouth on hers made it very difficult to stop or pull away.

But the sound of a throat being cleared pulled them apart. In the doorway, Dr. Doshi stood and tapped her watch without saying anything. Dean growled slightly, and Dr. Doshi smiled back.

With one more wholly unsatisfying peck on the lips, Dean stood up. "I'll be back first thing." Dean promised.

Julie nodded and brushed away the last of her tears and smiled. "I'll be here."

Dr. Doshi moved out of the doorway as Dean pushed passed her. "Doctor." He acknowledged with a tight smile.

"Mr. Winchester."

***

The next morning Julie was sitting up drinking a cup of coffee from her breakfast tray when she heard Dean’s voice.

“It’s five friggin’ minutes! Are you kidding me?” He wasn’t exactly yelling, but he could definitely be heard.

Julie heard the muffled and significantly quieter voices of the nurses, but couldn’t make out their response.

“So what if she is sleeping? Do you think I’m gonna go in there with a fucking brass band and wake her up? I just want to go into her room.” He seemed to realize he was contradicting his claim of being able to be quiet, and his voice got low enough that she could no longer hear him.

But he must have won the fight because shortly thereafter he was quietly opening her door and peaking inside. When he saw her sitting up finishing her breakfast, he scowled out the open door. “She’s eating breakfast, and you’re telling me you didn’t know if she was awake?”

He rolled his eyes and tried to slam the door, but it was on hydraulics and couldn’t be slammed. He settled for scowling his way over to her bedside, cup of coffee in hand.

“Good morning!” Julie said, extra chipper. “Sounds like your morning is off to a great start!” She gave him an overly cheery smile and he returned it with an incredibly sarcastic one.

“They weren’t going to let me in because visiting hours didn’t start for another five minutes. Can you believe that? Why are they so against visitors here?” He handed over the coffee he held and took the plastic cup out of her hand.

“Here, this will be much better.” He said, setting the hospital coffee down on her breakfast tray.

Julie took a sip and let out a grateful groan. It was delicious and was once again made perfectly to her preferences.

Magic.

She pushed her breakfast tray out of the way and scooted her legs over a little, patting the bed, so Dean would sit down.

“How are you feeling?” He asked as he sat.

Julie shrugged. “Not bad. They gave me a lot of painkillers, so I slept pretty good.” She dangled the charm on her wrist and smiled. “And of course, I had this.”

Dean smiled back, but it was short lived. “Jules...” he began and Julie knew what he was going to say before he said it.

“I’m so sorry. I never thought…I mean, I knew how badly Zachariah wanted me to say yes, and I knew what he was willing to do to us, to me and Sam, to make it happen, I just didn’t think he’d go so far as to hurt someone completely innocent and uninvolved.”

He shook his head. “But I should have known. I should have realized how fanatical he was. I should have had Cas ward you a long time ago. It’s just…” He closed his eyes tightly. “I spend so much time actively trying not to think about you, that I…” He trailed off and opened his eyes again.

“Jules, I’m so sorry. I can't ever...” his voice was too choked to finish his thought.

Julie shook her head and reached out her hand toward him. He took it and trapped it between both of his. “Please, don’t apologize, Dean. And don’t feel guilty. You didn’t do this to me, and it's not your fault." Julie tried to bolster him with a grin. "You did, however, end the guy who did, so...thanks!”

Dean nodded absently and Julie knew he wasn’t going to let go of the blame. “Yeah,” he said with a smile, “I managed it with a pretty amazing assist from this newbie hunter. You shoulda seen her.”

Julie blushed a little, but before she could respond, Cas pushed open the door. “Dean.”

He noticed Julie and nodded. “Hello. How are you this morning?”

“Better, thanks.”

“That's good.” The angel looked back to Dean. “We’ve gotta go, Dean.”

Julie felt her heart drop. Dean rolled his eyes and licked his lips before he looked over his shoulder at Cas. “Yeah, okay Cas. Just give me a minute.”

Dean turned back to Julie and opened his mouth to speak but then he paused, looking back to Cas still standing in the doorway. He stared at him for a moment before Cas seemed to cotton on.

“I’m sensing awkwardness. I should leave the room?” He asked.

“Yeah, Cas. 'Give me a minute', means go away and I’ll see you in a minute. Or two.” He added when he realized the angel was likely to time out an exact minute.

Cas nodded slightly and left the room.

Dean shook his head and smiled at Julie. “He grows on you.”

Julie nodded. “I bet. Tell him I say thank you for helping to save our lives.”

“I will.”

Julie frowned. “How did the three of them even know where we were, or that we were in trouble?”

“Cas.” Dean said, nodding toward the door and the departed angel. “Another angel, Inias, an old garrison buddy of Cas’, didn’t approve of what Zachariah was doing, involving an innocent human, and reached out to Cas.”

Julie nodded. “I guess we should be grateful not all the angels are sadistic monsters.”

Dean gave a small huff and rolled his eyes. He didn’t seem to be won over.

There was quiet for a moment and then Julie spoke, barely above a whisper. “You’re leaving?”

Dean inhaled deeply. “Cas says there’s a rogue cupid in a little town back east.”

Julie frowned. “A rogue cupid? Like, you mean the fat baby with a bow and arrow?”

“That’s what I said,” Dean smiled at her. “but Cas says a cupid looks pretty much like any other angel.”

Julie nodded. “Well, we don’t want a rogue angel running around, that’s for sure.”

Silence reigned again, but it was so full of unspoken things that Julie felt choked by it.

Finally Dean stood up and moved to her side. He leaned down and grasped her face with both hands and captured her mouth in a deep kiss.

With all the tubes and wires still hooked up to her Dean couldn’t get as close to her as he wanted, but he swept his tongue into her mouth, licking up into her and causing Julie’s stomach to tighten and her core muscles to clench.

He slanted his mouth over hers again and again, moaning softly as she grasped the zippered sides of his green canvas jacket and pulled him closer.

Suddenly there was a very loud beeping noise coming from one of the machines beside the bed and a nurse came rushing in. Seeing, the tableau of Dean grasping Julie’s face and Julie grabbing onto Dean, the nurse rolled her eyes, but grinned as she moved over to stop the beeping.

“Your heart rate spiked.” She said, blushing slightly as she looked at Dean, with his kiss swollen lips and heated expression. “Try to be careful.”

She practically ran out of the room and Dean dropped his forehead to Julie’s with a chuckle. “I’m pretty sure most of the medical team looking after you wants to throttle me.”

Julie smiled through the tears that sprang to her eyes as Dean pulled away. She let her hands drop from him and looked down at her lap.

“Jules.” Dean said, his voice soft and imploring. “Please…don’t.”

Julie looked up at him and didn’t try to stop her tears. “I can’t help it. I won’t pretend I’m okay with this, because I’m not. I know you have to go now, but come back to me. When this hunt is over, come back to Bobby’s, let me help you heal, let me take care of you just a little bit before the next fight comes. And when I’m well again, let me join the battle, let me fight beside you.”

Her voice got very soft as she reached out a hand and ran it down his cheek.

“God, Dean. Just let me love you.”

Dean closed his eyes and she could see the column of his throat moving up and down as he swallowed. When he opened his eyes again, Julie saw that something had shifted in his gaze. He almost looked resigned and fearful. His look was one that said, 'God, I shouldn’t be doing this.' He opened his mouth to say something but Cas was suddenly there in the doorway.

“I’m sorry, Dean, but it’s been a lot more than two minutes, and we really must go now.”

Julie was desperate to know what Dean had been about to say, but he just nodded silently, jaw clenched, before he pressed a kiss to her cheek and pulled away.

“Please take care of yourself, Jules. Sam will stop in right away to say goodbye and Bobby and Annie are going to be here soon to stay with you.”

He nodded again stiffly and his smile was more like a grimace. “I’ll see ya, kid.” He said and spun away from her and out the door.

Cas looked at her heartbroken face and her tears falling rapidly and frowned deeply. “I really am very sorry Julie. I don’t know…” He paused and looked very confused.

“I’m sorry.” He repeated, following Dean out the door, and Julie was alone again, her heart broken again.

But this time she had a tiny spot of light in the form of Dean’s interrupted thought. He was going to say something, and despite telling herself that it was stupid to consider it, stupid to think he was going to say anything besides another goodbye, Julie couldn’t beat back the kernel of hope in her heart that maybe she would see him again soon. Or sooner than last time anyway.

She did see him a lot sooner. He showed up on her doorstep three months later, when his world ended.

[ninebluehearts]

Hiiiii!! I saw you rebloged my cough syrup fic and I really like ur stuff you wrote!!

I was wondering if I could get a protective!marc fic, like someone hurts or scared the reader and Marc is super protective 🥺🥺 I got a thing for protective men 😭😫

Hello!! I really loved your sick fic, babes 🥺 I was sick last week, so I felt very called out (I don't like cough syrup either) 😂🤚 And thank you so much!! That means a lot, especially coming from another brilliant writer 🥺💕

Warnings: Karens 😳

God.. protective Marc is just.. 🥵🤌

Though it was your day off, you and Marc decided to take a walk around the clothing store you worked at. It was starting to get cold again and both you and Marc needed some new sweaters.

Even though Steven insisted that he had plenty to go around, Marc wanted something he liked. (Though, you were one hundred percent gonna take Steven up on his offer.)

So, here you were, holding up sweaters to Marc's body to see which one complimented him the most.

"I think this one brings out your eyes." You said, holding up the dark green woolen sweater. "You should try it on."

"I don't know.. It looks itchy." Marc took the sweater and added it to the pile of clothes for hin to try on.

"I'm sure it'll be fine once you wear it for awhile. Although, I really think you should rethink that grey one. I know you think it makes you look like Steven, but-"

"Excuse me, miss?" An older woman tapped your shoulder.

You turned around to face her, both of your eyebrows raised. "Yes?"

"You work here, right?"

"Yes ma'am, but I'm-"

"Okay good! I saw you yesterday, but I just wanted to make sure. I need your help finding a pair of shoes." The women just smiled, not even acknowledging Marc or the fact that you weren't even wearing a vest like all of the other workers.

"I would love to help you, but today is actually my day off. I'm sure someone else could-" You didn't even get to finish your sentence before she interrupted you. Again.

"Everyone else is busy. Holidays and all that. Just come help me for a moment." The woman said, growing impatient.

"Ma'am, I really would like to help, but I'm not working today." You were starting to panic, not knowing how else to explain why you weren't helping her at the moment. "Really, I'm sure I could get Melissa to help-"

"This is just outrageous! Lazy people like you are what's wrong with the world! I mean really, how hard is it.."

The woman continued yelling at you and while of course you were used to it at this point, it caught you off guard. On the days that you do work, you can hype yourself up before going in. You know what to prepare for and how to handle these situations. But you wondered if the same protocol for these situations still applied on your days off.

You just stood there and took it, honestly not even paying attention to what she was saying anymore. People were starting to stare at the three of you, whispering and looking at you with pity you didn't want. You stared down at your shoes, trying to hide the tears that welled up in your eyes.

Marc could see how upset you were getting, but he didn't know if he should say anything, not wanting to get you in trouble for something he did.

"...Your manager will be hearing about this! Hello? Are you even listening to me?" The woman reached out to grab your arm, but Marc grabbed her wrist before she could even lay a finger on you.

"What the fuck do you think your doing?" He ground out, trying to refrain from physically injuring her.

The woman looked absolutely shocked, obviously no one had called her out like this before. "And just who do you think you are?"

"Her husband. Now, today is her day off. She cannot help you today. Go find someone else to help you, before I call security and have you removed."

The woman's mouth fell open, her entire face twisting in disgust. "I ain't never in my life!" She ripped her hand away, then looked back at you. "Expect a call from HR." She said, before turning around and storming out of the store.

Marc reached over and grabbed your hand, gently squeezing it. "Hey, are you okay?"

You wiped your nose with the back of your hand, trying to get yourself together. "Yes, thank you." You said as you cleared your throat, pulling him into a hug. "God, I hate people like that."

Marc sighed, resting his chin on top of your head. "I know, sweetheart.. Do you wanna go home?"

"Kinda, but you know what would really make me feel better?" You looked up at him with a smirk, your chin digging into his chest.

"What?" Marc asked, his eyes squinting at you with suspicion.

"A fashion show." You said, glancing back at the pile of sweaters in your cart.

Marc just sighed, shaking his head. "If it'll make you feel better.."

Can you do a fic where Billy's boyfriend comes out for the first time to him?? FTM

He like sits down with Billy and tells him about how he wants to transition 🥺🥺👉👈

And Billy is ALL for it! And super supportive?

Description: The reader comes out to Billy wanting to transition from female to male and Billy is all for it.

Warnings: Swearing, fluff,

*I really hope this is what you wanted, this is the first time I've been asked and written a coming-out story. So I hope you liked it!*

Key: Y/N = Your Name, POV = Point of view

Word Count: 1,330

I honestly didn't know how Billy would react, would he call me some slur? Would he dump me? Would he get all offended about it and go off about what a disgrace I am? It's all I've been thinking about since I came to terms with my decision on wanting to start the process of transitioning. I love Billy, I want him to be here with me but I have no clue how he's going to react and I want him as my support system. I rocked up to his house, glad his parents weren't home and that I could talk with him in the privacy that I desperately needed. 

Billy allowed me into his home, he spoke with me about everything he had planned for a date but quickly stopped once he noticed my nervous expression. 

"What's wrong, you can talk to me Y/N" He reassured taking my hands, I took a deep breath, not wanting to cry in front of him or over the situation. This is meant to be special and I won't let Billy be a jerk about it for long. 

"Just don't yell or be a dick, please," I begged, squeezing his hands for comfort, he nodded and kissed my cheek before letting me continue.

"I want to talk to you about something really important to me, it's freaking me out because I want you to be here with me and I want you to be along the way. But obviously, I understand if you don't but I just don't want you to be mean about it. Please." 

"Billy, I want to transition, I'm coming out to you. So, I'm wanting to be classified, I guess, as someone who is transgender and that then means I no longer identify as female but male." He stared at me for a few seconds, I felt my hands grow sweatier as I waited for his reaction. 

"Oh, sweetheart, I'm so proud of you!" He pulled me in for a tight hug, placing kisses all over my face, I was stunned, to say the least. I never expected this reaction from him, I held him tightly and let a few chuckles escape my lips. 

"What?" I mumbled out, still surprised by his reaction, Billy held my face in his hands and smiled brightly at me. 

"I'm so glad you told me! Alright, tell me what you wanna do and we'll go do it right now! We'll go to the department of medical certificates and we'll change your gender what pronouns do you want me to use? Tell me everything that you want to do." I smiled happily, holding him tightly and felt my heart flutter at the support Billy was giving. 

"I want to use he/him pronouns please, I don't feel comfortable with she/her anymore, I haven't for a long time. I'm gonna change my name eventually, something that feels more like me and I might get hormone changes, depending on the costs and how easy it is to access it all." Billy cupped my face, smiling brightly and shook his head. 

"I'll pay for it all, I'll be there every step of the way, I don't care what it takes. As long as you're still happy, I wanna be there for you and I'm never gonna stop supporting you through this. We'll find other females to males and we'll get you into talk groups so when those idiots get you down, you know who you can talk to who have been or are where you are. I want you to have people who feel what you're feeling and so if I don't understand you can talk with them." 

"I love you, Billy. Thank you, I've been freaking out about telling you. But thank you for being here with me, thank you for supporting me, thank you for loving me." 

"I'll always love you, sweetheart, I'll bake you a cake that has that rainbow flag, yeah? Gilbert... Gilbert Baker, that's who invented in 19...." 

"In 1979." I finished, loving that he already knew all this, Billy ran around the room, grabbed a couple of markers and ran back to me. He grabbed my arm, colouring in the rainbow flag on my skin, and then did the same on his arm. 

"Maybe, we can invent a flag? I'm gonna protest until somebody makes one." (In 1999 is when the transgender flag was created) 

"I'd like that," I whispered, smiling as he kissed my lips. 

Billy took my hand, dragging me to the car, we got to the store and I followed Billy around the store as he bought a bunch of party stuff and cake baking stuff. 

"Sweetheart, I want to make you a surprise, could you go watch a movie so I can get everything ready. Here's some money." He whispered, kissing my lips, holding my hands with a smile as I nodded and thanked him for lending me some money. I ran to the cinema, watched a movie and once it was done, Billy was there with a bouquet of flowers that were assorted in rainbow colours. I blushed at the thought, I took them from his hands, smiling and walked with him to his car. We made it home, and as soon as I got to my room, I was bombarded with balloons, streamers, flashing lights and a poster posted above my bed. The cake was on my bed, and cupcakes were around the bed. 

The poster had a hand-drawn closet and a rainbow flowing out of it, stating "I'm out bitches!" I giggled at the words he wrote. The cupcakes were different colours of the rainbow, the cake had fondant formed as a rainbow and the rest of the cake had different coloured icing swirls, pretty much there was a lot of icing. 

I jumped into Billy's arms, grinning as he held me off the ground, I was so happy with Billy and I'm glad he's still in love with me. 

"You're so perfect, I love you, I love you so much. Thank you for trusting me with this. I love you." He whispered, smiling as he fiddled with my hands. 

"I love you too, thank you for being great about it. Thank you for still being sweet and awesome." 

"You're my boyfriend, of course, I'm gonna love you no matter what." I flustered at his words, it felt great hearing the word 'boyfriend' and it made me feel more of who I am rather than what I was playing. 

"I'm your boyfriend," I whispered giddily, Billy chuckled at my words, swooping down to kiss my lips and twirling me around as the lights continued to flash around. I closed the door and grabbed a cupcake then handed it to Billy before I ate a cupcake of my own. 

Billy and I sat on my bed, eating cake and riding a sugar-high, Billy didn't stop pampering me. He always made sure that every day was a new step in my transition and that I still wanted him here with me. Which I did, he was supportive and surprised me with presents that helped along with transitioning and comforting me when those who didn't agree with my life choices said shitty things.

Billy came to my window with a rainbow wing on his head, dressed in a rainbow tutu and rainbow suspenders he had a bare chest to top it all off. It was a very pleasant surprise to see, I loved how he'd do the little things like this and another great thing was that he used he/him straight away and never screwed up with things from when I was considered female.

It's So Real With You

Fandom: Marvel (Celebrity AU)

Pairing: Chubby!Bucky x F!Reader

As requested by anonymous: Chubby bucky as an older Hollywood celebrity who falls in love with the new up and coming young actress he’s costarring in a movie with ? 🥺

You and THE James "Bucky" Barnes sat at your very first press junket for the new rom-com you two were starring in. This was your big breakout role, according to your agent. If this movie does well, then you'd be on your way to becoming a household name!

Your legs were bouncing. Your first ever interview and you were afraid you might mess up somehow. You didn't want to say the wrong thing or look stupid.

Bucky, who's become accustomed to your little mannerisms over the last year of working on this film with you, reached over and rested a hand on your leg.

You looked over to him and he smiled, "It'll be fine. You're gonna be great."

You shyly smiled back at the older star, feeling your cheeks heat up, "I know, but at the same time, I feel like I'm gonna say or do something stupid."

"We've all been there, sunshine. If you do embarrass yourself, I'll just do something even more embarrassing so you don't feel alone." he nudged you with his shoulder and you giggled, "Thanks, Buck."

Hearing your giggle made Bucky blush. He mentally scolded himself for getting all blushy and nervous around you, but he couldn't help it. You drew him in like a moth to a flame. You were so warm and bright, like the sun, hence the nickname he'd given you.

Over the course of the year of filming, Bucky's gotten to know you, become your friend. Being almost ten years older than you and a significant amount of films and shows under his belt, he helped guide you through your first big project. He promised himself that, even though you two were to play love interests on screen, he'd only remain friends with you. But you made it so easy to fall for you. The date scenes for the film felt so real, Bucky would sometimes forget that it was all fake. And once the director yelled cut, he was a little surprised and somewhat ashamed that the feelings he felt during filming continued to stay.

He hoped you might've felt the same way. You had to right? The way you looked at him was so much different to how you looked at everyone else. You loved spending time with him in between takes, napping with him in his trailer. It could all mean more, right?

"Y/N, Bucky, hi! Thanks for coming!" E! News Reporter, Maria Menounos, came into the room, shaking your hand and Bucky's.

You smiled politely, shaking her hand, "Hi! Maria, it's nice to meet you!"

"Nice to see you again, Maria," Bucky said with a nod.

Maria sat down in her respective chair and sighed, "So, let's get started. Y/N, is it okay if I ask you some questions first?"

You gulped and Bucky gave your hand a reassuring squeeze. You glanced his way and when he nodded, you looked back at Maria, "Sure. Let's do this."

Maria proceeded to ask you some basic questions about your background, how you felt about this movie being a big break, and then she asked how you felt working with Bucky.

You chuckled, "I'm a big fan of Bucky's. When my agent told me I got the role and Bucky would be my co-lead, I freaked out. I was excited and nervous, it felt so unreal. It still feels so unreal! Like," you turned to Bucky and pointed, "You're Bucky freaking Barnes!"

Bucky laughed and wrapped an arm around you, kissing your head, "Sunshine, you're too cute. You flatterin' this old man."

You snort, "Bucky, you're not old."

"I'm ten years older than you, sweetheart."

"STILL NOT OLD!"

Maria laughed with the two of you and then turned to Bucky, "So, Bucky, now I ask: how did you feel knowing you'd be working with someone fairly new to this industry."

He shrugged, "I didn't have any expectations, honestly. I just knew that whoever they'd pick, they saw best suited for the role. Honestly, I'm glad it was Miss Sunshine here. We've gotten real close this last year." he turns to you, his arm still around you and looking at you fondly.

Maria hummed, "So, I have to ask, onscreen, you two have great chemistry, is that translate to real life as well?"

Bucky nervously chuckled and stroked the stubble on his rounding cheeks, "Well, um, honestly, yeah, I think so. I, um, I gotta admit, I got a bit of a crush on her."

You look at him, completely shocked, "Wait, what?"

Bucky shrugged, removing his arm around you and nervously rubbing the back of his neck, "Yeah, sunshine. I mean, it's hard not to fall for you when you're so sweet, caring, funny, beautiful."

You look at Maria, who is equally shocked, and she says, "I'm speechless."

And you snort, "How do you think I feel, Maria?!"

"While we were filming, my friends were making fun of me 'cause they saw how smitten I was with her. I just-I dunno," he looks back at you, "she makes it so easy to fall for her."

You felt your heart soaring at Bucky's confession, "I've fallen for you too, Bucky."

"You have?"

"How could I not? You're handsome, kind, hilarious-"

"You're really strokin' my ego here, sunshine," Bucky says with a laugh.

"It's true!"

Maria let out a laugh of disbelief and looked at the camera, "Well, um, you've heard it here folks! Looks like love is brewing between our leads here!" and then she looks back at you two, "I wish you guys all the best!"

You and Bucky shook her hand and got up from your chairs after the producer announced that they're clear.

Bucky looked at you with regret, "I'm sorry."

You tilted your head to the side in confusion, "What for?"

"I shouldn't have unloaded all of that in the interview."

"Would you have said anything at all if she didn't ask?"

"I...I don't know."

"Well, I'm glad to know that we both know each other's feelings. Throughout filming, I was always wishing that the words and kisses we shared were real."

"Me too," Bucky murmured, he leaned in, resting his head against yours, "When we have some time, can I take you on a date?"

"Absolutely," you gave him a kiss on the nose that left him beaming.

Girl… when I say the title of this chapter I knew I had to prepare my heart and I was so very right. I had to read that chapter twice… my heart broke both times. I know this is necessary but still I cried a little. Hyunjin has so much to work through and I think y/n does too honestly… what they had wasn’t healthy.

Y/N is so so so right, she deserves more then what jinine is willing to offer right now and her line “Not when my heart is the one at stake" … hit home for me. Im glad my girl is willing to stand up for herself and protect her heart.

My heart does ache for Hyunjin tho, I will give him that. His confusion and fear of commitment is valid but it’s unfair of him to want y/n to sit around while he figures it out. He needs to do some deep soul searching maybe see a therapist 😂… and get it together. Then come back to y/n when his intentions are clear and he knows what he wants. I mean him not even being able to say that a exclusive relationship with y/n is a possibility is just so absurd. She said it best “You can't have everything, Hyunjin"

This line makes me anxious for whats to come… “He wanted to scream at him, ask him why the hell he had done it and ruined what the two of you had just like that, but that could wait” like I don’t wanna see Felix get yelled at he is trying to be a good friend to everyone and doesn’t wanna see either of his friends get hurt. It’s got to be such a hard position to be in… stuck in between two friends who do nothing but hurt each other

Overall this chapter was heartbreaking and beautiful. It was real and raw and made me emotional in all the right ways I can not wait to see whats next. Hopefully Minho and y/n’s reconciliation and reunion is in the works cause she definitely needs her friends after that roller coaster. Plus I feel like Minho would be proud of her for standing up for herself like she did.

You are a FANTASTIC writer and Water Color is currently my favorite fanfic on tumblr rn!!

I adore you!!!

🌻

you read it twice? 🥺 you cried?? 🥺

it took a lot of time and effort on her end, but she finally did what's best for her and her heart, so good for her :(

for real, it's okay for him to be confused but he can't expect y/n to just wait around for him during the time it takes for him to figure it out. she doesn't deserve to be dragged into this when all she wants is to be loved.

let's hope lixie won't get yelled at nor will their friendship be ruined over this 😭 he just found himself in a shitty position while wanting the best for both his friends :( he didn't mean any harm...

she does need her friends after all this... and i feel like she needs minho the most now, especially after having lost him over defending hyunjin... hopefully they'll make up soon 🥺 he would indeed be very proud of her.

thank you SO MUCH omg you have no idea how much it means to me 😭 can't believe it's currently your fav fic, tysm :(

NEWSIES (almost) CLOSING SHOW THOUGHTS pt.2

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of “Me bombarding you with my thoughts: aka just scatterbrained nonsense, half formed sentences and the incoherent screaming taking place inside my brain” :)

Act 2

ACT 2 BABY TIME FOR SOME MORE ESCAPISM AND HAPPY-ISH DANCING BOYS

INSTRUMENTAL CARRYING THE BANNER AGAIN LETS GOOOO

I think the audience is clapping along to the music?? 🥺

My poor, dejected newsboys :(

OK MR. JACOBI IS GETTING ALL THE APPLAUSE YESSS WE LOVE TO SEE A MINOR CHARACTER CELEBRATED

THE AUDIENCE IS SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY FOR THE NEWSIES AHHHHHH

THE WOILD ES YUR ERSTER

RACE IS SO EXCITED: “Yur what?” “YUR ERSTER!!!”

Somebody in the audience must really like pastrami on rye

I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER HEARD THIS MUCH APPLAUSE DURING A SONG IN MY LIFE

NOT THE APPLAUSE STOPPING WHEN KATHERINE DOES HER DANCE SOLO-

Ok never mind they’re clapping for her now

KONY IS MAKING ME CRY

Aw no sad Jack :(

HERE COMES HYPER DAVEY WITH THE BURST OF ENERGY

That bruise on Jack’s arm looks painful :/

“Can we have the thedda?” I LOVE LES

“And this here girl,” *looks at the audience* “Sally” IM SCREAMING

I just can’t get over how Katherine calls her dad “Pulitzer” which makes the Newsies assume that she doesn’t know him. I mean… I wouldn’t expect her to just be like “Hey, I’m a rich heiress!” but I can understand where Jack’s frustration comes from

Katherine also seems very cold in this. Maybe it’s just because she didn’t like the interactions she had with Jack - which is very understandable. Additionally, I kinda felt like she still hadn’t warmed up to the Newsies even a little bit until right after she started dancing with them in KONY.

With that being said, I’m kinda worried about how the romance is gonna be set up between them because right now, Jack seems butthurt and Katherine seems to be slightly mad/annoyed (?) at him.

Oof the Davey shove :/

This is probably the most emotional I’ve seen (an actor playing) Jack when talking about Crutchie.

DAVEY YOU’RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO LIGHTEN UP OK JACK AND CRUTCHIE PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER AND TOOK CARE OF EACH OTHER SO SEEING YOUR FRIEND GET BEAT SO BAD THAT HE’S ON THE BRINK BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH ISN’T EXACTLY EASY

Davey’s kinda pissing me off

DAVEY AND JACK ARE HAVING A SCREAMING MATCH-

I AM IN SHOCK

Davey kinda deserved it though because he started yelling so Jack started screaming

This is messy

This bootleg needs to come with a headphone user warning 💀

THE TENSION IS SO STRONG I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE LIKE AM I INTRUDING ON SOMETHING-

KATHERINE STAY OUT OF THIS PLEASE YOU LITERALLY HATE JACK

I am mad at literally everyone but Jack (ok well not Les, he didn’t do anything)

COREY’S FACE DURING THIS IM CRYING LAUGHING

OK CONFIRMED: THE AUDIENCE ARE INDEED A BUNCH OF FERAL FANSIES WHO DO IN FACT WORSHIP THE LINE “The poor guy’s head is spinning”

Davey stopping Katherine from going to Jack 💀

I’m shipping (platonic) Daverine/Datherine in this more than I’m shipping Jatherine

The little reassuring nod and pat on the shoulder Les gave Jack 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I really really love this version of Watch What Happens (Reprise)

I WILL NEVER GET OVER DAVEY WIPING HIS HANDS AFTER THE SPIT SHAKE AHHSBSHHS

Ok the vibe between Katherine and Pulitzer explains why she refers to him as Pulitzer 💀

“A fugitive from ONE OF YOUR OWN institutions” SIR W H Y ARE YOU RAGING-

Whenever Pulitzer’s close to her, Katherine looks scared out of her mind :(

KATHERINE POKING HER HEAD FROM BEHIND THE CHAIR TO LAUGH AT JACK’S JOKE IS THE (second) BEST THING I’VE SEEN ALL DAY

Side Note: Jeremy’s Jack feels more goofy and sarcastic while Corey’s Jack feels more nonchalant and sarcastic and I’ve honestly never thought as Jack as being the type to be calm while throwing little insults but I like it.

THE WAY HE HIT THAT TABLE MADE ME JUMP PLEASE-

THIS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE I’VE SEEN PULITZER ONE SECOND HE’S GROWLING THE NEXT HE’S SCREAMING AND THE NEXT HE’S TALKING NORMALLY AND IT’S DONE ALL IN ONE SENTENCE

Katherine is panicking

The way Jack ran immediately Snyder after showed himself hurt my heart :( this poor boy ugh

THIS LINE DELIVERY BETWEEN JACK AND PULITZER >>>

Oh gosh the way Jatherine looked at each other broke me

“Cowboy or CONVICT!”

I’m legitimately terrified. Pulitzer is literally wicked. Once again, John Dossett’s acting is amazing.

“All but one got away” S T O P

I hate how Morris and Oscar know that if the circumstances were different, Jack could literally break them in two. They’re just taking advantage of his current position to be cruel.

Is it a requirement for all of the antagonists to bang their hand on the table or something?? (Sir I know you hurt your hand doing that 💀)

I know the audience is not trying to clap after what just went down with Delancey’s- (I hope they’re just congratulating the amazing actors because anything other than that is just no <3)

Jack once again looks like he’s in denial

“But they sure is exciting” SPOT’S LITTLE EYEBROW RAISE

THE WAY THESE BOYS REVERE BROOKLYN IS SENDING ME 💀

I feel like these boys have a map of Brooklyn on the lodging house wall that they kiss each morning before they go off to sell papes (or a shrine dedicated to Brooklyn made out of unsold papes)

Spot is just eating this up

THE WAY SPOT IS SHAKING DAVEY’S HAND SHOWS THAT HE REALLY RESPECTS HIM NOW (thinking back to that one scene in 92sies where Javid and Boots go over to Brooklyn and Spot doesn’t take David seriously at first)

Nooo it cut all the way to Jack negotiations with Pulitzer I WANTED TO SEE SOME JAVEY BETRAYAL

After 45 minutes of searching Google and this very Hellsite, I have finally found a Corey/Kara boot but not one with Liana *cries*.

OK HERE WE GO THIS SHOW IS BACK ON THE ROAD

YOU CAN SEE THE ORCH PIT IN THIS ONE I’M IN LOVE

The sky is so unbelievably pretty-

I WAS WONDERING WHY MEDDA WAS LOOKING IN THE AUDIENCE FOR JACK AND TURNS OUT HE COMES UP FROM THE AUDIENCE TO TELL THE NEWSIES TO STOP THE STRIKE

YOU CAN SNYDER (?) WATCHING JACK FROM ABOVE OMG

Spot slowly walking towards Jack to hit him with his newsboy cap 💀

Katherine is so upset with Jack that she’s making me cry ahhhhh

WOAH OK THIS IS THE SASSIEST I’VE EVER SEEN KATHERINE AND I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVING FOR IT

Jack’s confused “Huh?!” after Katherine kisses him 😭

“What’s this about?” JACK’S HAND GESTURES ARE KILLING ME PLEASE

NO WAIT JATHERINE IS ACTUALLY SO CUTE AHHHHH W H Y AM I SMILING

Corey is giving me strong Aladdin vibes right now and I don’t know why

I think it’s the smile

GOD I HATE THIS SONG SO MUCH BUT THEY’RE MAKING ME LIKE IT J A T H E R I N E S T O P

The way he grabbed her hand BYE 🥺😭

KARA LINDSAY MY LYRIC SOPRANO QUEEN (she truly has such an incredible voice)

Every time I watch a Bway Newsies bootleg, I somehow like Jatherine a little bit more UGH

Not Jack wiping his hands practically down his entire leg 😭

THE ANGRY KIDS AGAINST CAPITALISM SONG IS STARTING

Jack looks tired but hopeful and I’m glad to see the fire hasn’t left his eyes :)

THE MUSIC IN THIS BOOT IS TOP TIER

Ugh I love this song so much

I’m not the most observant but I never realized that the screen showed them making the Newsies Banner?

Ok a few scenes are being skipped again but back to Liana and Corey!

THE WAY COREY SAID “It’s a compromise we can all live with” I JUST SNORTED LOL

I missed hearing applause after every line :)

COREY IS SMILING AHHHHHHHHHHHH

THE WAY PULITZER LOOKED AT JACK AFTER HE SPIT IN HIS HAND I’M CACKLING

I’m so excited to see Crutchie again

“Newsies of New York,” CHILLS “We won!” ENHAHEUEBEUENEJ

I love this show so much <3

Crutchie looks so beat up :/ what happened to his neck 🥺 (I was reading “unless you take your army back” on ao3 today and Crutchie had a bruise on his neck there too and now I can’t stop thinking about all the pain he faced in the refuge ughhhhehahehhwhsheha)

Even though this is just a character, there were actual kids who went through that. I bet some didn’t even make it out :( They didn’t deserve that <\3

Ahh I missed seeing Andy bounce around the stage

THE TINY BOW AFTER HE SAYS “Please, your highness” I LOVE CRUTCHIE

CRUTCHIE USING HIS BAD LEG TO KICK SNYDER IN THE BACK AHHHHHH

Jack is back to cupping Crutchie’s face and my heart is full

THE LITTLE ARM TOUCH CRUTCHIE DOES TO JACK IM CRYING I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP WITH ALL MY HEART

Crutchie and Davey walking away together is melting my heart (again)

I have used “heart” four times in the last four bullet points. No, I am not I ok

THE FIST PUMP HE DOES AFTER THE KISS 😭

JACK THROWS HIS BAG AND IT LANDS ON HIS FACE

THIS SHOW IS SO HIGH ENERGY

One of the best parts of this show is seeing how Jack, Katherine, Crutchie, David and Les react in the background while the other Newsies dance.

AWWWW

I seriously could not stop smiling even if I tried

Where did this lump in my throat come from?

I am choking on my own tears

Corey and Liana pointing to each other during the curtain call 🥺

Oh my gosh it’s over I’m crying

Conclusion: Every time I watch Newsies I fall in love with it 10x more. I also try not to scream at myself for discovering this show so late. I was looking at the old toursies schedule yesterday and I saw that Toursies had performed literally 20 minutes away from where I live and I just wanted to ugghhhh *screams in I-wish-I-had-a-time-machine*. But the 54 Below 10th anniversary announcement came out yesterday and finding out about it today made me so incredibly happy ahshshwhsh I really hope they stream it because words cannot express how much I love this show, how much it means to me and how much it has changed my life.

ew gross not me being sappy on main 🤮

Estheath x gn!reader

Tulip: Confession

Poppy: Kiss

Blue ribbon: fluff

Word count: 1k

What a wondrous day of spring it was in the Great Hall, the stronghold of the pointed hat witches. You were standing in a hallway of the Assembly, the seat of those who sought to protect the secrets of the witches. You were waiting for Estheath, but something held you back. You were nervous, so very nervous. He was one of the Knights Moralis after all. The Deputy Officer of the Magic Security Council no less. Would he even…

You shook your head to get rid of the thought.

“Do it.”

You spun around and came face-to-face with Utowin, leaned to look over your shoulder, his eyes fixed on Estheath standing a few feet away. Then he turned his head to you, a smirk on his lips.

“Leave me alone,” you mumbled, feeling your face heat up. His smirk widened to give way for a short laugh and nudged you in the side whilst standing up straight again.

“But honestly do it. And do it now. ´Else I´ll do it myself.”

“You´re asking him out yourself?” you smiled.

“Hey, why not. If you can´t do it, I will. For you,” he added, his voice now serious.

“You wouldn´t dare,” you laughed.

He only shrugged and sauntered away.

And now you were back alone with your thoughts. You already started to miss Utowin´s presence. Then again, this was something you should do alone. But would he even reciprocate your feelings? He, a Deputy Officer, you, a-

“(Y/N), I did not expect to see you here?”

Oh no, oh no, he was standing right in front of you.

“Yes! I mean, well, I wanted to speak to you?”

Your face was on fire, heart racing, hands gripping unto your witches’ robes.

“Here?” he discreetly looked at the yelling twins a bit farther off, jumping around - “like mad men”, as he would say.

“We can go to Argentgard, the Silverwood trees are even more beautiful at this time of the year. That is actually what I came to ask you. Maybe a little walk after your duties for today?”

He nodded slowly.

“I believe I can arrange that.”

Then a smile graced his lips, and he gave you a quick nod before leaving to scold his subordinates.

The Silverwood trees stood proud and tall, wind blowing softly through the leaves. Many witches were out bustling on the main streets of the Great Hall, for a Spring Festival was being held. Beldaruit was said to be there as well, and you were sure of it too, after all, what better place to see magical peculiarities at, than the magnificent festivals the town offered.

You saw tiny flowers on your way to the grove, breaking their way through the sun-warmed earth to welcome the light of day. Blue and yellow and pink were they, little things of beauty and childish grace. For a second you hoped he wouldn´t come. To have this image of blooming nature for yourself alone, but you shook away that thought and then you heard the soft rustling of robes behind you and knew he was there.

And what a sight to behold he was. His long hair flowing with the breeze, flower petals following its path.

“(Y/N),” the corners of his lips moving upwards a little as he spoke.

“Deputy Officer Estheath,” you bowed your head a bit, a small smile on your lips, on the verge of teasing.

A finger appeared under your chin to softly lift it.

“Please, (Y/N), don´t be all to childish,” he said, but the glimmer in his eyes gave his amusement away.

His gaze was soft and warm, his eyes a stark contrast to the pink flowers you could see grazing the path behind him. How much knowledge these eyes held, you could only imagine, and to get only a piece of it, just a bit more than the fleeting tastes you got on your occasional walks through the Argentgard together.

You broke away just when his fingers disappeared. He offered you his arm, which you gladly took. He was comfortable with you, you reasoned, and Utowin wouldn´t encourage you if there was no hope. You breathed in to prepare and-

“Look,” his hushed voice interrupted your thoughts. As you followed his gaze you saw a deer with her fawn a little away from the path, to your right, behind the Silverwood trees. “You see the fawn laying there? It must have been born not too long ago.”

At that moment, the mother looked up to look at you two. Slowly, Estheath led you down the path, now more on the left, further away from the mother and her fawn.

Birds were chirping their songs on the tops of the trees and the rustling in the bushes gave away some foxes and rabbits, and even a straying cat once. It was calm, and warm and – above all – quiet. You knew he enjoyed the quiet, only saying the occasional word, pointing out some animals or rare and beautiful plants. And so did you, next to him. Like this, you were at ease.

You sat down at a riverbank, rippling away into the trees towards the town. At this point, you couldn´t even remember why you had been so nervous before. You would always be safest with him.

“Estheath,” your voice matching the tranquillity of the place, as not to disrupt it.

His fingers grazed your hand telling you to continue.

“If I am a butterfly, you are the flowers.”

“Just as I am drawn to you.”

You smiled to yourself, he always did understand you. One of the countless things you loved about him.

“And what does that make us?”

Both of you looking out to the river.

“Two magnets seeking to touch.”

“And what if they do?”

He stayed silent and you looked up at him. His eyes were fixed on the river and his cheeks were dusted in the shade of cherry blossoms. So you answered for him, eyes solely on him:

“They find completion not within themselves, but in what they had felt and desired for so long; finally satisfied and calm.”

At that he looked at you. Then he raised his hand to lift your chin yet again and when you finally cradled his face in your hands, your lips met his. Softly and satisfying.

Truly, there had never been anything to be worried about. Not here, next to him and his lips on yours on this wondrous day of spring.
