#♕ — Otto « replies »

❝ you truly are too good for this world. ❞

@coivi

"Who, me?"

Otto looked up at Cyrus and let out a little hum of thought. "I don't know.. I've done some pretty horrible things in my life.." He said and his eyes widened. "Like this one time, i was skipping rocks at a pond and i actually hit a wild duck. It was fine, i didn't hit it in the head or too hard even.." He shrugged, sipping his coffee, before continuing. "And i've jaywalked a dozen times, at least! And once i parked on a handicapped spot. So, you see? You're in love with a total criminal and rebel."

Otto burst out into a laughter. He was only teasing him. "I'm just messing around.. You're so sweet to me." He smiled and took a sip of his coffee again, eyeing the brown liquid in his mug for a moment. "Though there is one thing that i.. Kinda regret, but also don't regret..?" He hummed. The memories of the incident flooded his mind. "It's the way i became a werebear. I regret killing the bear, because it was.. Just an animal, trying to survive. Sure, it was dangerous to my people and i couldn't just do nothing, but.. I could've just driven it far away from our village." He sighed deep. "But if i hadn't, i wouldn't be here. With you." Otto smiled, looking back to Cyrus again. "I wouldn't have become immortal and i would've died almost two centuries ago. So, that way, i don't regret what happened. If that makes sense?" He chuckled, reaching next to him, taking Cyrus' hand in his.

♕ — Otto had been living in Dunbroch for about a year. He figured it would be a nice place to stay for a while, to work and gather some money, before moving on. But fate had other plans, when he met the Queen. Merida was feisty, witty, yet kind hearted woman and Otto liked her from the start. He landed himself a job as a blacksmith and with his previous experience, he was great at it. 

He had made new armors, weapons and shields for Merida’s soldiers and he gifted her with a brand new bow and arrows. Otto and Merida had become good friends during the time he’d stayed and he had stayed longer than he had first planned. But he had a good life here, so why leave? Although there was one tiny problem. In the beginning, whenever Otto needed or wanted to shift, he did that much further away in the woods, so no one would find out. But a few days ago, when he was on his way back to Dunbroch, in his bear form, a woman who had been out collecting mushrooms had seen him.

Now, he was in the woods again, but deeper, so that hopefully no one would find him. But that hope was crushed, when he herd the voices of the soldiers and the Queen, spread out into the woods to find him. Shit. He figured that he would have the best chances of surviving this, if he would show himself to Merida and hope that she understands. So Otto came to her and he stood there, facing her. 

And as she was ready to fight him, Otto stood up on his full height on two legs, before he moved behind the tree next to him and shifted. He held a hand out from behind the tree. “Lower your weapon! It’s me!” He called and poked his head out. “Merida, it’s me.”

my darling @wonderhevrts liked for a starter for merida!

❈ — There had been news of a great beast in the woods near Dunbroch. Some said it was bigger than Mor'du, though no creature could compare to the likes of him. Mor'du was massive, so what creature could possibly be bigger than that? The guards did their best to patrol the areas around the kingdom, but to no avail. The beast was killing livestock now, but seemingly right from under their noses. Merida took it upon herself to search for the creature herself and be rid of it once and for all.

A few of her knights accompanied her into the woods, and each of them spread out so they could cover more ground with ease. The fiery queen was on her own, blue orbs sharp as they searched through the trees. Then a snap of a twig was heard nearby, and then another, and some heavy breathing. And it was coming from behind her. Quickly, she drew her sword and spun around, pointing the weapon at her target.

"....Mor'du?" She said aloud, as if in disbelief, but it wasn't. It was another bear, and this was definitely larger than Mor'du. "...a'right, ye scoundrel, if a fight's ye want, a fight ye will get..."

@ofmythsandfables​​ asked: ❛ you’re about as intimidating as a butterfly. ❜ // Brenna and Otto

♕ — Otto grunted, swimming towards her. “Float like a butterfly, bite like a bear.” He chuckled. They had stopped by a lake, to wash up and stay the night there. “I could maybe catch us a couple fish to eat.” He dove under the water, looking around for fish. He loved swimming and did so, whenever he had a chance. So once they had stopped here, he had made a bee-line for the water. When Otto surfaced, he shook the water from his head. “Come and swim with me! The water is nice and i’ll keep you warm later!”

Otto chuckled and shook his head. “No sweetheart, we need to start today. The sooner we get it out of the way, the sooner we settle in. And then we get to enjoy our new home properly.” He smiled and opened one of the boxes, starting to unpack the plates into the cupboard. “If you want, you can start with your own room?” 

[wonderhevrts]

She set her stuff down on the living room table before making her way to the kitchen. Catalina just smiled as she smelled her dad’s amazing cooking. “Yeah, I met some of our technically neighbors. They’re twins, they invited me out to the beach,” she said as she sat down and took a bite of her sandwich.

Otto raised a brow. “Technically neighbors?” He asked and nodded. “Sure, you can go. But if they try anything, just text me and i’ll come running. I’ll maul their asses.” He said. Otto wouldn’t hesitate to run over in his bear form to protect his daughter. “So what are their names? How old are they?” He asked, sipping his coffee. 

Continued from here x

Catalina’s attention whipped around to the loud whispering behind the blush next to her. She should’ve been scared, but honestly she was just unimpressed at the two culprits pretending not to be seen despite talking in a regular volume. She rolled her eyes and moved to the front of the bush. “If this is your attempt at attacking me, you’re doing a sorry job at it.”

@coivi​ asked: ✘ SEND ME AN ✘ AND I’LL PUT MY MUSIC ON SHUFFLE, GET THE SONG, AND POST MY FAVORITE LINE AS A STARTER. song: Josh Turner - Your Man

“Ain't nobody ever love nobody, the way that I love you.” It was a confession, of how much Otto actually felt for the other male. Otto had a big heart and a lot of love to give. And since moving in permanently with Cyrus, his feelings had only grown, every day. He had already had feelings for Cyrus, before Otto’s ex came into the picture, but he never thought Cyrus would feel the same way for him. But the past months had proved him wrong. At least he hoped so. 

[wonderhevrts]

“You know.. I could watch you working out and break a sweat all day. Though you could do some cardio with me.. Or more like on me..”

[wonderhevrts]

“I’m happy if he has.. Makes our relationship a lot easier.” He chuckled. If Legolas would’ve been against this and wouldn’t like Otto, it would be difficult to have a relationship with Thranduil. “Love, you can have your way with me, anytime you want.” He grinned.

@wonderhevrts “You had a long day of patrolling the realm to ensure our safety. Why don’t we have a warm bath & enjoy each other’s company?”

[wonderhevrts]

Otto wrapped his arms around her, when she came to hug him. “I do want you to have fun with your friends.. But you are my daughter and i wish that you respect my rules. If you’re late from your curfew, i’m going to get worried and come looking for you myself. If you’re home by your curfew, you’re showing me that i can trust you and i’ll be able to let you stay out late. Do you understand where i’m coming from?” 

"You're late..." (Otto)

“Sorry, the twins and I were down at the beach,” Lina said as she set down her wet clothes in the laundry room.

xkindaxouttaxluckx​:

“No!” Mr. Pearlman cried out as he tried to shove Otto off of him. His tone was so sincere as was his fear that anyone would believe him. Of course, you could never know really. 

Suddenly, Catalina burst in through the door, dashing over and yanking at her father’s arm. “DAD STOP!”

Students began to file in, watching from the doorway as the two teacher tussled. There never really was an incident like this, so they were more than eager to see two teachers fight it out. 

“Just fucking confess!!” He yelled. When he felt someone tug on his arm, he almost pushed them away, but hearing it was Catalina’s voice, he let go of the man, dropping him on the floor. 

“Somebody better start talking right now!” He growled and turned to Cat. “Or i won’t be responsible for the consequences..” Otto gave her a knowing look. She knew what he was. If he’d get to the point he’d shift into his bear form, the feral side of him would take over and he might actually kill the man. And that would mean that he and Cat would need to move away. 

But his and Cat’s relationship wouldn’t be the same after this. He loved his daughter, but he wasn’t sure if he could trust her again. She’d need to gain his trust back. That’s what was the most heartbreaking about this situation.

Continued from here x

Catalina just huffed and said nothing as her dad followed her. She knew it was wrong to li and go behind her dad’s back, but Catalina felt she was really in love with Mr. Pearlman. He made her feel like he was the only one that understood her, little did she knew that’s how he was manipulating her. As they walked, one of the other social studies teachers approached Otto to ask some questions about the lecture and she took the opportunity to quickly run off to class.

xkindaxouttaxluckx​:

She nodded as she clung onto him. Catalina already get like an outsider, this definitely didn’t help. She would do any homework, any project just as long as she didn’t have to face all the laughter, the talk behind her back. “Please make him let me, I can’t deal with it. People finally started to like me.”

Otto sighed and gave a gentle kiss to her head. “I will. If you feel like you can’t stay here for today, i can take you home at lunch break.. I’ll tell your teachers you got sick for today or something.” He couldn’t take her home at the moment, since the first class was about to start, but if she wanted, he’d take her home at lunch break. 

Continued from here x

Catalina nodded and sighed a little as she got out of the car, putting in her headphones and playing some music to distract herself. As she walked in, she immediately felt all the eyes on her but tried to ignore it. Though, it was hard to ignore the writing on her locker. Things like ‘slut’ and ‘teacher’s pet’ and other things that made her feel more like shit. Catalina couldn’t help but notice the laughter that filled the hall. She immediately ran to her dad’s classroom, tears in her eyes.

[wonderhevrts]

Otto sighed and reached over to take her hand in his. “I hate to say i told you so, but.. I did warn you about him.” He said. “I won’t lecture you anymore about this, but i hope you learned from this.. And it’s going to take a while for me to fully trust you again. I still love you, that hasn’t changed. But i’m hurt.” Otto gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “Lets get to the motel, get a good night’s sleep and in the morning we’ll head back home.” 

For Otto: Catalina wiped at her tears as she held the pay phone, waiting for him to pick up the phone. Mr. Pearlman was long gone and she was in the middle of nowhere at a rest stop in Virginia. She was an idiot. She couldn’t believe how stupid she was right now.

Otto had been driving after them for hours. A couple times he had almost lost her scent, but only almost. When his phone rang, Otto frowned at the strange number, part of him not going to pick up, thinking it was a wrong number or something, yet something in him still told him to pick up. And he did. “Hello?” He asked, praying it was someone who had found Catalina or even Catalina herself. Needless to say, Otto was scared to death he would lose her.

[wonderhevrts]

A couple hours later, when the most of the spiders were dead, or had fled away, Otto was making his way to their chambers, hoping there would be a bath waiting for him. He was covered in spider-guts and -blood. When he got to their chambers, with his paw, he pushed it open and let out a soft growl. He was exhausted. And Thranduil wasn’t there just yet, but luckily the bath was. Otto straight up climbed in, on his bear form and let out a sigh at the warm water, that spilled a little onto the floor. Good thing the King’s bathtub was just big enough to fit the skinchanger in it. He soaked in the warm water for a while, when he heard Thranduil walk in. He grunted, to let him know he was there. 

“Welcome home handsome.” (kingofthemirkwoodelks)

The grizzly let out a soft growl at the King, as he returned from his patrolling rounds throughout the Kingdom’s borders. He padded over to him by his throne and leaned up to him, resting his big head on his lap. Flapping his ears playfully, he smiled. Otto didn’t care what Thranduil’s guards thought of him. He was happy here and wouldn’t change it to anything. 

@kingofthemirkwoodelks

[wonderhevrts]

Otto listened to her and frowned a little confused. It sounded a little ridiculous and also unnecessary. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Not everything is her fault..” He said and looked over to her. “I’ll have a talk with her today and hopefully figure out what’s going on. Although shouldn’t you as the guidance counselor be the one to do that?” He asked and stood up. Might’ve been a bit harsh, but Otto was getting tired of hearing how Catalina had always done something wrong, even though lately she’s been doing much better. He stood up from his seat. “I’ll talk with her.” He said and left the counselor’s office. He really hoped that this wouldn’t be anything too serious.

Continued from here x

“Well, not entirely....as you know, she is in this years production of the Crucible and there sees to be issues between her and her classmate David Caster. Her drama teacher brought up that Catalina is constantly belittling the other in between rehearsals. I’ve talked to the both of them and other students about the situation and it seems Catalina is the aggressor. Now, I don’t mean to jump to any conclusions yet, so I was hoping you could talk to her about this,” the counselor explained.

@wonderhevrts

[wonderhevrts]

Otto stayed silent, while finishing up cooking. His mind was busy, wondering what she had been doing instead. Or who she had been with. Otto was tempted to follow her to the park next time, maybe catch her with someone else, or going somewhere else. Doing something she wasn’t supposed to. Then again, if he did that, he would show her that he didn’t trust her. It was a conflict and he didn’t know what to do. So he hoped the silent treatment would work. If not, he’d need to do something else. When the dinner was done, he set it on the table and sat down on his usual spot, letting Catalina serve herself first.

For Otto: Lina was lounging in the living room as she read her text book when the phone rang. As Otto got it, she grew a little tense but tried not to show it. It was her piano teacher telling Otto that she’d missed the last two lessons.

When his phone rang, Otto was in the kitchen preparing dinner. During winter time he always made food enough for an army, since he ate like a bear before hybernating. Speaking with the teacher, Otto sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Alright. I’ll have a talk with her.. Thank you for telling me this. Byebye.” He said and hung up. “Catalina? Can you come in here, please? Right now.”
