Max tapped his finger in the back of his other hand, laying on his back and staring up at the ceiling. The gentle breeze swept into the apartment, prompting the two bengal cats to jump up and cuddle into max’s body. The blond didn’t hesitate to pet the cats gently, scratching behind their ears and rubbing their belly.

It was too empty, He sighed. The whole place was too empty, the spot you’d occupy was now an empty piece of space. And Max couldn’t help but think, he’s his father’s son, isn’t he? Was your mother right? That he didn’t really like you and it was a stupid crush? 

No! It wasn’t a stupid crush. Max reminded himself. He loved you. He wanted to have kids with you and grow old with you. You were simply the smartest, most amazing, caring, kindest, and loveliest person he’s ever met. And he’d do anything to keep you happy. Even if it was letting you. He didn’t even have a say because he had brought you here without giving you a choice.

But what truly broke Max’s heart was, he truly thought you loved him as much as you do.

And he’ll hurt over it. 6 months until the divorce papers are fully processed and the rest of his life without you.

★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It was all dull for sure. People were starting to get suspicious of your absence, starting to make rumours about you or just plain out ridiculing you for not supporting your husband. Max believed the peak of such media bitting was here at the finale. 5 months and he’s never had to laugh off ‘where’s y/n?’ as much. He gave them the same answer. ‘She’s babysitting the cats. I don't want them scratching into our couch’.

Only Daniel actually knew where you were, and now that they were at the season finale filming the secret santa videos. Max wasn’t really optimistic about the gift receiving because what he wanted surely wasn’t going to fit in this little envelope or this little hand sized box. 

“I have no idea what this is.” He blew out a breath, shaking the box. It was light and small, rattling easy. Max opted for the box first since the envelope said open in private. Opening it, max frowned upon seeing a box of deck cards. With the words ‘you didn’t teach me how to play solitaire like you promised, yet’. 

“Ita deck of cards. With the words . . .” He took them out reading, furrowing his eyebrows to see. 

“Who on the grid doesn’t know- holy shit.” As soon as Max saw Daniel watching him from afar, he knew right away. “It’s from daniel.” the dutch laughed, looking down at your handwriting. You were the only person in his orbit who didn’t know how to play any sort of card games.

 “Do you know?” Daniel asked once he approached his former teammate. “You see the envelope yet?” “It says open-” “just turn around, i’ll make sure no one sees it.” And the blond did just that, facing away from the camera and pulling the envelope open. His eyes meet shreds of paper. “You’re crazy!” Max looked back back at Daniel with his jaw on the floor.

“It’s a private matter.” Daniel explained to the interviewer whilst the camera looking at daniel shocked and taken aback, disbelief but a neutral face still. “It’s not ripped all the way so you can do the rest if you want.” the woman behind the mic chuckled. Max got shredded paper and a deck of cards? How funny.

But to Max, these meant the world. Because he was literally having the most fun in his entire life continuing to rip apart the divorce papers in his hotel room that night.

★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The curtains were drawn and the windows were open. You’d been here. Max quickly entered the apartment looking around. Your canvases and painting equipment were out on the balcony and your clothes were back in the closet. Max had never been so happy to hug one of your hoodies. You weren’t here, the only thing reassuring max of your safety was the note you left on the fridge.

‘No eggs, brb’ He smiled to himself, taking it off the fridge. He can wait a few more minutes till you’re back– . . . or you could actually return right now, while he’s all sleep deprived in need of a shower and dishevelled . . . 

Max felt himself panic hearing the door click, a pang in his heart as he heard you push the door open and step in. With your carton of eggs, and a box on top. Once you caught his eye from across the room, you both froze. You stood in silence for a few moments before you finally cleared your throat and walked into the apartment.

You didn’t say a word. Setting the carton in the fridge and the box on the island. Max couldn’t help but look between you and the item curiously. “I—its an apology gift . . . It’s glass paint and brushes.” you pushed it towards him. “I’m . . . I’m For telling you through daniel . . . and for being so gullible.” Max welcomed you into his arms, hugging you back immediately. 

“I shouldn’t have let her get through my head like that. I should’ve listened to you.” Max didn’t want to say anything, he just wanted to listen to you. He owed you that. “I–i just want to be with you. Whether it's going to every race or staying here in Monaco. You really make me happy.”

Max felt his heart skip a beat at your words. He set his chin on top of your head, squeezing you in his arms. “Our story didn’t have a happy beginning, but I’d very much like for it to have a happy ending.” 

Max chuckled, smiling down at you. “You just quoted kung fu Panda?” You shrugged, giving him a tiny smile. “It's a good movie.” You said before cupping his cheeks, pulling him down for a kiss. A very long and much needed kiss because Max found his arms wrapped around you, unable to pull away. You guess your apology is accepted.

“You taste like car.” you giggled into the kiss. “You showered after the race?” Max shook his head. “I-i came to see you right away.” he said between kisses. “Let's go shower then.” You hummed as the two of you stumbled through the apartment, pulling each other's clothes off.

actually my cousin went to one of those parties and she said it was really incredible and the drugs they have there were very high quality. i would recommend not judging people just because they want to meet you in the sewers because sometimes in doing so you can close yourself off to a life changing experience. thats just my opinion though.

SilkClan – Moon 5 By Snakepaw 🐾

Hey, hey, SilkClan! Leafbare might be chilling the air, but there’s no cooling off the drama in camp this moon. Between secret meetings, pranks, and some serious apprentice hustle, you’re going to want to catch up on everything. Let’s not waste any more time—here’s the scoop.

🌕 Major Events:

Basilstar's Nursery Visit Basilstar took a stroll into the nursery this moon, checking in on the kits. Maybe she’s wondering what the next generation is shaping up to be. I mean, we all know Leafbare’s tough, but those kits are tougher than they look.

Pondquill’s Gloom Ever notice how Pondquill’s been gloomier than a rain-soaked leaf pile? Something’s weighing heavy on him, and I’ve been trying to offer to help with an extra task, but no dice so far. Maybe he just needs a push—or maybe more fresh-kill.

Clear's Life Crisis Clear is having a bit of a breakdown. She’s still dealing with Nightcat's death, and now she’s had a confusing dream from StarClan. Sounds intense, right? She’s rethinking everything right now, and honestly, I don’t blame her.

Burrowfleck's Apprentice Hunt Guess who’s thinking about taking on an apprentice? Yep, Burrowfleck. He’s been hanging around Duskpaw a lot lately, swapping prey and whatnot. Parsleykit even asked him if StarClan had passed any new prophecies down. Apprentice time soon, maybe?

🐾 Clan Drama:

Wisteriaspeckle’s Feather Gift & Pranks Wisteriaspeckle gave Cliffscar a beautiful feather this moon—impressive, right? But that’s not all. They’ve been pranking Basilstar, and let’s just say, she’s not going to find it funny for long. We’ll see how long Wisteriaspeckle can get away with it.

Streakminnow & Minkpelt's Moonlit Stroll Streakminnow and Minkpelt, the lovely mates, were spotted having a moonlit stroll. Yeah, nothing new there, but they’ve been making the rounds. Something tells me they’ve got some plans cooking—maybe more than we realize.

Cliffscar’s Patrol Find Cliffscar found a MumbleClan apprentice snooping around on our territory and snagged their prey. After that, he reported the whole thing to Pondquill. Something tells me this won’t be the last we hear of it.

🌿 Relationships & Rivalries:

Larkweb’s Secret Romance Alright, this one’s juicy—Larkweb has a secret MumbleClan lover. Yeah, I said it. He’s been sneaking out during patrols to meet them. Don’t think anyone else has caught on yet, but I’m keeping an eye on this forbidden romance.

Robinkit’s Kitten Rage Robinkit, our little tom, is about to claw someone’s ears off if they keep babying him. The guy’s had it, and I don’t blame him. Let’s hope he grows out of the "kitten rage" soon though.

Posyclaw’s Betrayal Basilstar turned to Posyclaw for help this moon, and guess what? Posyclaw bailed on her! Now that’s some serious trust issues right there. I don’t think Basilstar’s going to let this one slide anytime soon.

Snakepaw & Duskpaw’s Apprentice Talk I’ve been talking to Duskpaw about how we can step it up as apprentices. This place is in chaos, and someone’s gotta keep things together. Plus, I’m tired of standing around—I need an extra task to stay busy. You know me, always moving.

That’s it for this moon, clanmates. Keep your whiskers twitching, because you know I’ll have more to report soon. Till then, stay sharp and stay in the know.

So apparently either tumblr deleted my stuff or idk.

I posted it on here for sure I saw it yesterday but well it’s being weird so here it is again. I’m so sorry to those who didn’t read it on wattpad since they got to see it earlier because of this issue.

Two Worlds One Heart: 🌿Our Exchange🌿

(Idk if I will keep updating this on Wattpad. Barely anyone views this and I have more reading it on tumblr. But I will try. If you can, Please let other genshin players that love Tighnari about this book! Idm having a small audience at all, it's just that my audience on tumblr has more people reading it.) (sorry for a long wait and how short it is 😭)

You woke up curled next to Tighnari. Lifting your head slightly as his began to fall. You held it up for him on your shoulder. You looked down to see the both of yours and his tail wrapped against the others body. Blushing slightly as you used magic to bring the paper on the table towards you. (If only I could irl) Reading what collei had written. You were happy for her. She was getting better at literature. 

"Y/N or Tighnari, whoever is reading this. I would like to ask you both on how to control my dendro powers better. I also want to learn a bit of magic as well just incase I can't use my bow. Please give me some lessons on these. I told the forest rangers to not disturb you both. I'm hoping none came inside, I told them to go to Rana instead. I hope you both enjoyed your nap. I would surely be exhausted talking for hours as my social battery isn't as high. Make sure to check the time when you both work up. I have some pita pockets made on the table for the both of you if you're both hungry."

-Collei.

"Awwh! That's so sweet of her!" You said in a soft voice being careful to not wake Tighnari up beside you. Your tail swished slowly as you kept reading the note. Checking the time which was 6pm. The usual time for dinner. "Hey Nari, it's 6pm do you want to eat?" You nudged him slightly Ashe work up from the gentle touch. "Mmhh?" He said as his eyes opened. He rubbed them as he registered your sentence.

"Oh sure! Also since when did you start calling me Nari hm-?~" he asked with a bit of tease in his voice. "Today because I feel comfortable, it's nice meeting a kindred spirit y'know?" You said as you pointed to the pita pockets in front of the both of you. Silently enjoying the food with not many thoughts in your head. "Do you want to do anything after we're done?" You asked him and he nodded. "Yeah I can take you somewhere that I think you would like in the Avidya Forest." "Ooh! That sounds fun!" You said as he nodded. "Make sure to not startle them. Be careful when we head there." He said as he kept eating. 

You gave him your plate as you finished. Taking them both to the sink and returning to the couch. "When do you want to go? I say nighttime is the prettiest for this place." "We can go right now if you want to Tighnari." "Alright I'll leave a note for collei to find if she can't find us." He said as you got up and went outside. He wrote where you were going to be with him and when you both should return. Before getting up and joining you.

"It's this way." He said as he pulled your shirt(or jacket) lightly. Tugging it to the right. "Oh haha!" You said slightly embarrassed as you followed him. (And no it's not a real location 🥰) After a few turns and dealing with paths you both made it to the spot. You were in awe as Tighnari looked at you. "That was how I was when I first stumbled across this place." He laughed as his gaze went back towards it. 

It was a little clearing with a pond,  Firefly's dazzled around it while some foxes were nearby resting. You could hear crickets clearly with the water rushing slowly. Some birds chirped nearby, the sounds of the animals were calming. "Make sure to not scare them away, be gentle." He said as he brought you closer. Sitting near the edge of the pond. Watching as some of the foxes came up towards him. Cautious and wary of you before realizing you wouldn't hurt them. 

"Hmm." You said as you petted a fox that was near you. "I wonder how it feels getting scratched behind the ear." You said as your eyes went towards the fox. "It feels nice." Tighnari told you as he took a few notes. "Woww so descriptive." You playfully rolled your eyes at him as he laughed. "Numbskull of course it feels good." Still writing notes down. "Well I never experienced it since my ears are lowered often." 

"Anyways how long are we going to stay here?" You asked as you looked at him." "I suppose we could stay here for a bit more if you want." "Sure then." You replied as your focus went elsewhere. "Are we going when you finish your notes?" "Yeah I am almost done." He continued to write before getting up. Handing out his hand to you as you touched his. Going back towards Tighnaris house. 

"Our exchange is changing a lot." You said out loud as he heard you. "Yeah we're becoming friends, that's how interactions work." "Do you always have a need to be sassy?" "Not really do you?" "No..." "That's good." Collei saw as the both of you came back. Giving her report to Tighnari and told what happened while the both of you were away. "Thank you collei." He stated as he sat down on a chair. Reading the reports that she handed him. "I'll go get ready for bed." Teleporting away from the both of them and quickly took a shower and changed. Using clothes you had brought along as you came back to the both of them.

"That was quick." Collei stated as she saw you teleport in front of them. You wore a long shirt with medium length pants. Watching Tighnari read the reports. "They all did well today. Glad there's no longer withering zone reports. Those were tiring with a limited amount of people available to battle them." 

"It sounds as difficult as the Decree we had in inazuma. It was hard to get trades and export everything. With less visitors and unable to make trades made it hard to earn money." You said remembering how many had suffered to afford their homes. "I have heard about it. Especially with the raiden shogun not letting anyone slip up." 

"Anyways you guys can go sleep I'll be writing my responses to the forest rangers." Tighnari stated as he watched you both leave the room. Focusing on making his responses. His eyes went towards the window. Gazing at the moon every now and then. Before falling asleep on his bed. 

"Tighnari are you up yet?" You said as you tapped him as his shoulder, his ears picked up on your voice as he looked at you. "What's up?" "The sky, anyways I'm heading to sumeru city to get some souvenirs. Do you know any good spots? Or I can mark some stuff based on sumeru." 

"I can teach you to make a flower crown in exchange for how to make something from inazuma." He stated as you agreed. "We can go make some quickly before I start working." "Yeah it sounds fun!" He took out some Nilotpalas lotuses and sumeru roses. "Chose however pattern you want." He said as he made a pattern. Watching you do the same thing. "So here's how you do it..."

"Master has been exchanging information with Y/N again. I don't know where they headed off to but don't worry! He definitely wrote a message somewhere on a letter. I think it's over there actually." Collei stated as she handled the amount of forest rangers coming to her for help. (This sure is getting hard to keep up with, I hope the both of them return soon to us.) she thought as the number of forest rangers dwindled and finally dispersed."Oh it's time for patrol soon. So they should be returning soon for it." Collei told herself as she checked the time. Getting everything ready for him and her for his arrival with you. 

"That was fun! I like the combo, purple and yellow is always great together." You said as you enjoyed the color choice. "Glad you do, anyways it's time for patrol so we are heading back, you can go to sumeru city and look for souvenirs and stuff over there while we're busy." "Alright well we should hurry we don't want you being late to it." He nodded as the both of you ran towards Gandharva Ville. "Well goodbye guys!" You said as you waved goodbye as they headed off. Teleporting to sumeru city you were in awe. Sumeru city's tree really was holding up the Akademiya. "Now to find someone or somewhere to go to for souvenirs." You stated as you wandered around the place. Many things caught you eye as you purchased some for your friends and had some breakfast over there. 

"Sumeru city is nice I didn't think there would be a whole tree in the city! " you told yourself as your gaze lingered on it before you pulled out your phone and started to eat. Trying to ignore the stares you recieved from others. Were they all in awe of you or were they trying to figure out what you are? Surely the scholars know you're from inazuma and are kitsune. The ones that aren't scholars may only know of you being inazuman.

Just here to document the last two days 🌿

Wednesday I watched my friends son all day & it was a good time (as it usually is!). R & him are good friends & play well together-they are only six months apart, so the entire day just becomes one giant play date and it honestly makes my day so smooth whenever I watch him. We went on a big walk around the mountain and they both ran & ran and laughed & laughed. Always so sweet to watch them interact 🤍

Also, the same friend brought over a bag of goodies for me of all the cravings I have been having :,) so thankful 

On Thursday the kids and I left the house and met up with a friend & her kids at the lake. We did the whole walk around the lake which was super nice and then we found a nice spot in the grass and had a simple little picnic and it was lovely! The kids ate and played around us running and laughing so hard and it just never gets tiring to watch your kids interact with other kids and grow friendships. 

We then later on in the day went to the park to meet up with two other friends & their kids & once again it was so nice! We ending up staying at the park for almost three hours. It was such a hot hot day and R & A were so incredibly dirty & sticky after it all, so you just know that means they had a lot of fun. 

Ahh..the magic of childhood! How sweet it is to be able to curate this little life for our kids on a daily basis. What a blessing.

Hi Emily,

Thank you for providing a lovely read about the interconnectedness of privilege and nature interpretation this week! Between cultural, communicative, and accessibility barriers, you offered some really insightful perspectives and potential solutions. 

In particular, I enjoyed the way you highlighted the importance of recognizing the privilege that enables individuals who find solace in “escaping” to the outdoors. Although there is an immense amount of privilege that comes with environmental exploration, we often fail to recognize the privilege of seeking shelter from natural forces as well. While it may be easy to see the beauty in the first snow of winter for some, it is a harsh reminder of frigid nights and seasonal struggles to come for others. This concept reminded me of a section from Chapter 7: Serving Diverse Audiences of our Interpreting Cultural and Natural Heritage textbook. The section discussed the cultural barriers that can limit nature interpretation experiences. For example, camping may be seen as an iconic outdoor activity for those of higher socioeconomic status, but is perceived as something only rich white people do for fun by urban minorities where the act of sleeping in a tent has associations with homelessness. I’d love to hear your perspective on shifting this narrative (while acknowledging the truth it holds for historically oppressed groups) and encouraging diverse involvement. 

Furthermore, you touched on how conflicting schedules, hectic daily routines, and higher priority responsibilities hinder one's ability to spend time connecting with nature— so true! I especially like your higher-priority responsibilities point. As environment-focused students, the idea of having classes or jobs (super time consuming activities) that involve getting outside may be a no-brainer, but this is not the reality for many. When making ends meet, working for an income to support our societal needs will be placed above spending time exploring nature. I loved your suggestions about offering nature interpretation opportunities at various times during the day/week, promoting local spots with public access, and advocacy efforts focusing on equitable green spaces. Enjoying nature should be easy!

Thanks again for sharing :) I'm looking forward to learning more about your thoughts on how we interact with and interpret nature this semester!

Privilege and Nature Interpretation

Hey friends!

As I am embraced by nature's serenity, it is revealing that privilege influences even the most pristine environments. Have you ever wondered about how privilege transcends into our relationship with nature? Today I wanted to deliberate on the role “privilege” plays in nature interpretation and enjoyment. 

I believe it is important to acknowledge that privilege varies considerably from person to person as it is shaped by a multitude of factors. Discussing privilege constructively is important, it raises awareness, questions harmful norms, and promotes diversity and inclusivity.

So what is “privilege”? I believe privilege refers to the advantages an individual experiences based on being in the majority demographic group. It does not deny universal struggle. Privilege brings essential awareness to the benefits that are present when an individual aligns with societal norms and power structures. Did you know that a significant percentage of the world's population does not have the opportunity to enjoy nature? It is important to recognize that individuals who find solace in escaping to the outdoors should be aware of the privilege that enables such opportunities. Experiencing nature without usual comforts and the ability to return to the comforts of home are privileges not all have.

In nature interpretation, communication plays a pivotal role in shaping positive nature experiences by sharing knowledge and exhilaration. Yet, language can unintentionally act as a barrier, inadvertently excluding individuals who aren't fluent in the prevailing regional language. This exclusion can have an adverse effect on one's ability to fully embrace and appreciate the experience. To support a more inclusive approach to nature enjoyment and interpretation, there are several practical steps we can take. To begin, we can create nature programs designed to welcome individuals from all language backgrounds, encouraging people to share their individual perspectives. Additionally, engaging with diverse communities through community outreach allows us to seek input on how to improve accessibility. Listening to suggestions is key to making progressive changes within the eco-community. Moreover, offering interpretation services or guides proficient in various languages can significantly enhance the experience for non-native speakers. Lastly, providing multilingual resources, including information, guides, and materials, ensures that nature-related content is accessible to a broader and more diverse audience, ultimately enriching our collective appreciation of the natural world.

Amid individuals' hectic daily routines, time and priority responsibilities often hinder their ability to spend a moment connecting with nature. Consequently, the shortage of time restricts the opportunities for individuals to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and marvels of the environment. To enhance nature enjoyment for all, despite limited time availability, several strategies can make a meaningful difference.First, offering activities at various times during the day and week to cater to diverse schedules is essential. Next, promoting local nature spots with public access ensures that people can connect with nature without extensive travel and travel barriers. Furthermore, active involvement of minority communities in the planning and development of nature-related activities can ensure inclusivity as accessibility challenges are addressed and overcome. Advocacy efforts should focus on policies that support green spaces and strive for equitable access to nature to allow for equal opportunities to enjoy nature.

I would love to chat about other ideas you all have that can help make nature interpretation more inclusive. Thanks for being part of this week's discussion!

Nancy’s voice prattled on my left as we made our way through the packed school corridor as the loud bell rang, bodies pressing in on us from every side as we pushed through. I tugged my books tighter to my chest as a break parted in the crowd and I spotted Eddie at his locker. His face was guarded, and his lips were pressed tight in concentration as he rolled a cigarette. My mouth went dry at the sight of him towering over the other students as they allowed him a wide berth, the memory of his rough fingertips gliding across my skin in the dark and his mouth on parts of my body that no one else had ever touched, overpowered my mind as Nancy’s words drifted into the background. 

I tripped as she tugged on my sleeve, halting me to a standstill as she whisper-yelled into my ear. 

“Wait, there he is!” For a wild second I thought she was talking about Eddie, and my eyes shot to her face, panic spreading across mine since I hadn’t told her about anything that had happened between us, Nancy would want details, but the things Eddie had made me do – what I’d allowed him to -  felt too dirty just even thinking about talking about it. But as I watched a pretty rose colour fill her cheeks I followed her gaze, Steve Harrington was thundering down the opposite corridor from us, heading straight to where Nancy and I stood pressed against the cold metal of the lockers behind us, Tommy and Carol in tow close to him. 

“Wheeler.” Steve smirked as he crossed the throng of students and made his way to our position, leaning against the wall next to Nancy, eyeing her up like she was a piece of meat. I dropped her hand and turned my concentration away as he monopolised her attention, disappointment sunk through me as I looked back to where Eddie had been standing a second ago. When I caught a glimpse of a wild mane of hair that I knew all too well disappearing behind the corner, I barely spared the group behind me a glance before my feet took off after him, leaving Nance to swoon in Harringtons presence as he invited her to some party he was throwing. 

Rough hands shoved me back as I pushed my way through them as the hallway slowly emptied, watching the strong outline of Eddie’s vest walk further away from me. He didn’t turn as I called out after him, but I watched the muscle in his forearm tense as he heard my voice, shouldering his way through the side exit door as I sped up. 

“Hey.” I caught the glass door as it swung back in my face, following Eddie out on the landing outside as he lit up his cigarette, the cloud of smoke puffing into the freezing air around us. He turned his head to the side and gave me a slight nod without meeting my eyes, barley acknowledging me as he shook out his jacket and jumped down the steps.

“What? Now you don’t wanna talk?” I was slower as I held onto the railing to step down the dangerously ice-covered stairs. As soon as he cleared the slippery concrete he took off in long strides across the frost-bitten field. 

“There’s nothing to talk about.” He dismissed me; his voice drifted back to me over the wind as I reached up to my bag to shove my textbooks deep inside it. 

“You didn’t seem to have a problem with my mouth last night.” I snapped, my frustration seeping through over the constant battle of feeling like I would take two steps forward with him and then ten back, his constant mood swings were giving me whiplash. The corner of his mouth twitched like he was fighting a grin as he spared me an almost approvingly glance before his mask of indifference slid back into place. 

“What d’ya want from me y/n?” He bit back at me, heading towards the chain link fence at the end of the field, refusing to slow down as I struggled to keep up with him. 

“I don’t want anything.” I gritted through my teeth as goosebumps raised on my skin. I stared at his multiple layers of warm jackets and vest longingly, any other guy at school would have had the decency to offer one to me to stop me shivering in my thin shirt and shorts. But I’d seen and felt enough to know Eddie wasn’t just any other guy.  

The thought should have sent me running the other way, but it had the opposite effect. 

I wasn’t stupid, just a… sucker for pain I guess. 

“Everyone always wants something.” He scoffed, flicking the butt of his smoke away in a blaze of orange as we neared the tree line. 

“Why is it so damn hard for you to believe that I don’t.” I slowed automatically as the boundary of metal blocked our path, but Eddie reached out with one hand and catapulted himself over the low fence, the chain lining his jean pockets rattled as he straightened up, turning to me with a dark smirk as I ran my eyes over his lean muscles. I clenched my jaw as my abdomen throbbed. 

Damn him. 

“Fine. Continue to act like you hate me.” I spat, spinning on my heels. I was done chasing after him, I thought last night had broken down some invisible barrier that Eddie was holding up against the whole world, and that maybe he’d let me sneak past to see the real him. 

Obviously I’d been delusional and imagined it, the fantasises I had spun out in my head as I laid in my own bed late last night, laughed at me now as I started to head back towards the school in the distance.

I didn’t get very far before Eddie’s hand shot out to trap my wrist in his tight grasp. The sudden movement stole my breath as he pulled me against the fence, I looked up to meet his dark eyes as he reached down to wrap his arms around my waist and pulled me over it. My cheeks reddened and his fingertips pressed into my sides painfully as he slowly put me down in front of him, our breaths mingling in a white cold cloud as he pulled my pelvis into his. 

As I closed my eyes I gasped, he had dropped his hold from around me and stormed away, the sudden swirling air of coolness assaulting my exposed skin as he ripped himself from my grasp, leaving me standing confused at the tree line as he disappeared into its depth. 

The loud screech of a nest of birds taking flight from a nearby treetop sent me scurrying in after him as I hesitated, the trees that had probably been covered in burnt oranges leaves weeks ago, now crinkled underfoot from where they’d fallen to the ground. As I walked through them down the beaten track, following the large fresh footprints that had to belong to Eddie, the branches were bare, eerily daunting as they rocked in the wind. My hyperventilating breath slowed as I neared the break in the tree line, spotting Eddie’s hulking shadow leaning across the table through the cluster of trees at the end of the path.

“What are we doing out here?” I questioned.

“I’ve got someone coming to pick up soon.” He retorted, rolling his eyes like it was obvious. 

“Last night, when you asked me to stay. Why?” He met my stare as his licked the paper of a fresh smoke he had just rolled. 

“Technically I didn’t ask you to stay.” His cocky demeanour had well and truly settled back into its rightful place as he gaslit me, there wasn’t a trace of the vulnerability I had caught a glimpse of last night, anywhere on his face as he stared at me with utter disinterest. 

Foreign rage must have flared on my own face because Eddie grinned and shot me a ‘calm down’ look, offering up a different response.

“Someone needed to teach you how to smoke properly y/n.” His gaze slowly moved from my face down my chest, I embarrassingly crossed my arms over it as his stare lingered, knowing that my hardened nipples from the cold were probably poking holes through my shirt. I waited for a rude comment from him, but it never came.

“That’s why?” I mocked, anger coursing through me because I knew he was lying, but his casual, offhand demeanour had me questioning myself and everything I thought I knew last night. 

“I couldn’t have cared less if you stayed or left.” He shrugged, leaning forward to pull his lighter from his pocket. 

“That’s bullshit Eddie and you know it.” I hissed, narrowing my brows as he palmed his face in frustration. 

I wasn’t backing down this time. 

He ignored me, so I tried a different tactic to draw him out. 

“Last night, after we… I don’t know you said some things and it was like you wanted to keep talking but then you just… shut off.” I trailed off as his dark, angry eyes shot back up to mine, a rapid warning flashing in them as my words hung between us. 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He growled through clenched teeth, placing the cigarette between his lips. 

“Hate me all you want; I know I’m right.” I snapped, just as he lifted his lighter to his smoke my hand flashed out of its own accord to steal it from his hand. I danced out of the way precariously as he launched himself from the table at me. 

I laughed as his hand swiped out to grab my side, missing me by inches as I flinched out of the way. The giggle died on my lips as he both of his hands clenched at his sides, Eddie watched me with barely concealed rage like he was thinking about wrapping those large hands around my neck. 

“I’m not playing a game with you y/n.” A thrill of fear flashed through me as Eddie straightened up, his full form towering over me.  

“Neither am I.” My breathless laugh sounded a lot more confident than I felt.

“Give it here.” He lunged and this time he caught me, constricting his arms around my waist and pinning me to his chest until I couldn’t breathe. 

“Now!.” He scowled, wrapping his fingers around my wrist and squeezing it tight until the stinging pain made me drop his lighter into his other outstretched hand. 

“I’m right here. I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.” I yelled at his strong back as he shoved me harshly away from him and turned from me, ignoring me as I stumbled and scraped my knees along the sharp scattered rocks underfoot. 

“For fuck sakes Eddie, please, stop it. Stop pretending.” I shot to my feet as tears sprung to my eyes, brushing debris off of me as he slammed his hands down against the table, cowering over it as his vest shook with his heavy breaths. The sight of him worked up sent embarrassing feelings though me that I tried to ignore. 

“I can’t.” He spat, turning to face me when he heard me scoff out of scorn. 

“I can’t y/n… because that’s when I get hurt. And I can’t go through it anymore.” I dropped my crossed arms as my lips parted in surprise, running my gaze over his flushed face as each layer of protection slipped away. He shone so brightly, even in this moment of his pain, with his brows narrowed distrustfully against me, his eyes shining with unshed tears and his lips quivering from his words, I’d never seen him look so real. 

“I’m not gonna hurt you Eddie.” I promised, the strength from the truth of my own words spurred me forward. 

“You already have.” My eyes flashed to the new, pulsing bruise around his that matched my fingers, he didn’t sound angry, just disappointed. And somehow that made it worse. 

“That was instinctual, I responded out of –“ My excuse sounded hollow to my own ears as Eddie smirked at me without humour and shook his head. 

How could I deny that I didn’t mean it when I’d been the one to hit first? 

My mouth went dry as he stared back at me unblinkingly, waiting for me to throw out more vindications. I truly hadn’t had one, his cruel actions and words had just brought out something in me I didn’t think I’d ever be capable off. 

But Eddie was just as guilty as I was. My thoughts must have shown on my face because he spoke up before I could. 

“Yeah well I guess my response was instinctual too y/n, after my dad spent twelve years beating the crap out of me until I learned how to punch back, it’s just my go to response when someone hits me now.” 

The clearing fell silent around us as Eddie dropped his gaze from mine, colour filling his cheeks – from what, I couldn’t tell. A hundred emotions struggled within me over his admission, so I could only imagine that he struggled with a thousand more. 

He took a deep breath before the words fell from him, expelling in a deep rush as I watched his shoulders lift as the burden broke apart. 

“I was a good kid y/n. I thought things might have gotten better once I started school and I could escape my home for a bit. But on our first day… when all the parents and their kids looked at me with the same hate and disgust my dad did… I learned two things that day, I was never going to let anyone see that they got to me.” His voice was steady as he ripped the stone wall between us down, but anger shook me over his pain and a new hatred for every person that I had watched call him a freak, coursed through me. 

“And if Hawkins was only going to see me as mean, no good troublemaker that wasn’t worth anyone’s time, there’s no point in trying to be anything else.” 

Horror struck me as I watched his lip tremble. 

There wasn’t an excuse for either of us, but maybe I understood his a little better now. 

“I’m sorry for hurting you… you just hurt me. And I reacted because of that, but still Eddie, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll never hurt you.” I crossed the space between us in mere seconds as I reached out to trap his face under my cold hands, running my nail over his lip. His eyes fluttered shut under my touch as his warm breath coated my hand. 

“If you are so goddamn hellbent on not leaving me alone, let me show you why I wanted you to stay-.” So fast that the world spun around me in a blur, he had reached down to my waist and twisted me around to pin me against the table. His mask of defence hadn’t returned but the vulnerability was gone now, pure blazing passion in its place. My stomach flipped as he pressed his body into mine, the sharp, jagged edges of the table stabbed into my naked thighs as he brought his face closer to mine. 

“I don‘t wanna hurt you anymore y/n. Not in the way that isn’t pleasurable anyway.” He paused with a small smirk on the corner of his lips as he waited for it to sink in, watching my eyes intently as my thoughts turned over. 

Every mean thing he ever said sounded in my ears again, his rough touches and empty stares devoid of any kind of feeling burned behind my lids. Eddie had given me a slight reasoning for why, but the hurt from the way he’d treated me still stung freshly. 

I knew that I had been the one to seek him out, promising and lying to myself that this would be the last and final time, but he had used and abused me twice now because he could, because I’d let him. My body had been nothing more than a means to an end for him, valuing his pleasure above mine always because he had just seen me as an inconvenience while I had harboured genuine feelings for him. 

He repeated himself as he watched the war of indecision wage behind my teary eyes. “I’m not going to hurt you anymore.” 

“And how do I know that you won’t?” I whimpered, pulling back to watch his stare harden and his jaw clench. 

With slow, reverent movements, Eddie untangled himself from me, without blinking or looking away from my eyes once, he dropped down to his knees, one at a time. 

Butterflies assaulted my stomach as he stared up at my through his thick, dark lashes. He didn’t say anything as he hooked his fingers through the band of my shorts, tugging them down my thighs lightly until they pooled at my feet leaving me exposed in my pink lace. I shook as he kissed the bleeding marks on my knees, moving his mouth to trace soft, fiery kisses up my legs towards my middle. 

I twisted my hands in his soft curls as he pressed his face into my clothed slit, running his hard nose against my clit up and down as I trembled and arched back against the table, pulling his hair to push him further into me as I moaned his name. 

“Eds- Eddie. Stop.” My plea was useless as my words died in the wind as he lightly nipped at my bud though my panties with his sharp teeth. 

“Don’t pretend like you’re not happy to see me like this.” He pulled the fabric to the side to slide a long finger inside of me, I shuddered and ground down onto his face as he smirked, not allowing me to find my purchase. 

“You’re – you’re…” I cried out as his tongue lapped at my slit, flickering over my sensitive spot and sending waves of pleasure to crash over me. 

“What? Being mean?” He taunted as he pulled his hand from me, the loss of feeling made me curl over his face, shivering against him as he buried his mouth further into me. His hands clenched my hips as I leant back against the table, grinding them against his face as his tongue lapped at my clit, the feeling should have been illegal. I was merciless under his touch as his dark glare swivelled up to meet mine from between my legs. 

As I halted and gasped, bunching up as the familiar heat coiled inside of me, he pulled back instantly. Cold air burned against the wet streaks of slick that ran down my thighs from the pleasure that Eddie’s tongue had created, he grinned as I leant up stunned. 

“Yes you’re mean.” I gulped, tracing my fingers to my throbbing clit as it begged for release. Eddie grabbed my hand before I could and stood up, running the back of his across his face from where my essence was smeared across his chin. 

“Yeah, but you like it.” He smirked, letting go of my arm to snake his around me to pull me close, my shorts were still around my ankles as he lifted me into the air, placing me gently onto the table as he slid between my legs, pressing his hot lips against mine as I moaned, the taste of me swirled in my mouth along with his tongue. As the wind settled down the only noises in the hidden clearing were the sinful gasps tumbling from my lips as Eddie’s mouth moved to my neck, sucking and lightly biting at the soft skin as I dug my nails into his shoulders. 

He pressed a rough kiss to my jaw as I wrapped my legs around him, begging for more. Eddie’s warm fingers skimmed across my waist as he reached for the hem of my shirt to rip it over my head, but my quick hands stopped him. 

“Wait.” I cried.

“What?” He scoffed, our chests heaving as we caught out breath.

“It’s cold.” I whispered as a violent gust of air shot over us. He smiled sarcastically and made a rude sound in his chest as he ignored me and tore it over me anyway, tossing it into the abyss. I brushed my messy hair away from my face, but before I could look at him with disappointment that he had once again ignored my choice, he had reached up to tear his jacket from his shoulders and flung it over me, nodding for me to hold my arms out as he slid the oversized fabric onto me. 

His warmth and signature scent made my head swim as an unfamiliar warmth shot through me as I traced my fingers over his exposed biceps under his tight, dark shirt, Eddie’s dark eyes softened briefly before he brushed his lips against mine, his long fingers trailing across my naked chest as I jolted under his touch. He leaned over me as my eyes fluttered shut, forcing me to arch my back as he wrapped an arm around my ass to pull me closer into him, his free hand lightly twisting his fingers in my hair to pull my head back, allowing him to deepen this kiss. I struggled against his chest as I felt his harden cock press into me from beneath his jeans. 

It took him a moment before he realised I was pushing against him and not pulling him into me anymore, he broke apart from me with a frustrated glare and raised his brow as he waited for me to interrupt him, sighing as his hands fell to his jeans to undo his belt. My gaze fell between us as he sprung free, gulping as the pre cum dripped from his tip.

“But what about the guys that are coming to buy off you? They might see us.” My eyes rolled into my head as he latched back onto my neck, rolling his tongue over my skin as he ran his hard cock against my clothed pussy, pushing into my covered entrance as a deep growl rose from his chest. 

“So what? Then they’ll know you’re mine.” I didn’t have time to give him any kind of response asides from meeting his stare, I couldn’t even remind him that he didn’t have a condom on because at that moment his had ripped my panties to the side and buried himself inside of me. I almost screamed out embarrassingly as the feeling of him filled me up perfectly, his length hitting a spot inside of me that I didn’t know was there. He reached down to pull my legs up around him, shifting his arms to wrap around my back as his mouth settled on my tits bouncing with his movements.

“I was wrong y/n, you’re not a whore. You’re my whore.” I gasped loudly and hid my face in the crook of his shoulder as he thrusted deeper into me, crying into his delicate skin as his pace picked up. 

My cheeks blushed hard as the sounds falling from his lips made me giddy, I was lost in my own feeling his body was creating inside of mine, but knowing and hearing how good I was making him feel?

God, it was sinful. Something I was willing to go to hell over. 

I clenched my walls together around the size of him as he pushed back into me, Eddie faltered and fell against me, moaning into my neck as his pace turned frantic. 

“Fuck y/n, what are you doing to me?” His voice was primitive and excited, low enough that the vibrations set my skin on fire. The sound of my name on his lips was enough to send me over the edge, somehow Eddie already knew my body better than I did because his hand fell between us to rub fast circles on my throbbing clit as I threw my head back, in seconds he had hurtled me over the edge as bright spots burst across my vision and I collapsed against his chest with a scream that echoed around the clearing. 

It was almost too much as he pumped even deeper into my pussy before shivering over me, pulling me against him tight enough to crush me as he rode out his orgasm inside of me, as he roamed his lips over any patch of my skin he could get to, I gently stroked my fingers through his loose curls, using my free hand to trace my nails on the back of his neck as he shuddered and convulsed, smiling as he moaned my name one last time. 

To say that we had untangled ourselves from each other and pulled our pants back up literally in the nick of time, was an understatement. The pair of seniors that Eddie was selling to, stumbled through the undergrowth into the clearing as their loud laughs filled the air until the spotted us next to the table, I spun away quickly as I wrapped Eddie’s jacket tighter over my naked torso as I looked around for my shirt. The newcomers shot us confused looks over my presence as they made their way towards Eddie, pulling a wad of cash from the depths of their pockets. 

“Uh hey man, we still good to do this?” The taller senior spoke up.

Eddie spared me a quick glance as he pushed his hair away from his face, striding over to where I hid away at the opposite end of the table. I looked up in shock as he dug his hand into the pocket of his jacket that I still had on, his hand squeezed my hip playfully as he pulled the bag of drugs from the side of it, winking at me as I dropped my gaze and smiled.

His own smile dropped, and the careful angry mask fell into place as he turned back to the guys waiting impatiently, his hand outstretched as he waited for the money. The one who spoke handed it to him as the other shouted gleefully. 

“Damn y/n, I knew you were a slut, but the woods? Really?” I spun around to face the shorter friend as he pointed at my shirt caught on the branch of a nearby tree, swaying rudely in the wind. 

I had been watching him but even I wasn’t quick enough to see it, in a split second the guy’s head snapped back harshly, and blood spluttered from his nose, spraying over the grass beneath him. Eddie pulled back his fist and shook it as he flexed out his fingers, his eyes flashing to the other senior as he ran to his friends aid. 

“Ow son of a bit-“ I stood rooted to the spot as Eddie examined his knuckles, watching the calm lines of his face strain as he kept his voice even and watched the dude he punched cower over in pain.

“Don’t ever call her that again. Don’t even look at her.” He flicked the bag of drugs at feet of the pair of them as the taller guy tried to wipe the steady stream of blood away and the other one cried out like a child. 

My eyes flashed to Eddie’s excitedly as he reached out his hand to me, holding his arm out behind his back as I leant forward to slide my shaking fingers into his secure ones, he gave me a reassuring squeeze as he tugged me away from the scene, shooting me a confused glance as I moved away from him to reach for my shirt. 

“Leave it, you look better in my jacket.” He shook his head as we walked back to the path, I laughed at his carefree expression, shocked at his ability to stray from the conformant of society so easily. 

“See y/n, I’m mean to everyone.” He joked, shooting a look over his shoulder as the pair of students disappeared around the corner the further we walked down the track, I watched in awe as his back muscles flex as he towed me forward. 

“Just not to me right?” I quipped back, the light airiness of my tone not quite concealing my sense of seriousness. My stomach tightened as Eddie looked at me with a mix of sadness and genuineness.  

“Never again sweetheart.” He squeezed my hand again with a small smile, his voice as honest as I’d ever heard it, his words sent a thrilling feeling of happiness through me because this time, I believed him.

*"artistry 🍵🌿

-;pairings: shinra x neutralartist!reader

-;warnings: none just fluff :3

-;word count: 986

-; authors note: this is for bestie @vuljo so i hope you enjoy, essentially your like a big brother/sibling to him and share an apartment together. yada yada i really liked this concept so i wrote it!! btw i never have wrote for shinra before so do not come after me!! love ya mwah!

you were working in your in the corner of your makeshift studio in your shared apartment with your friend shinra.

running the paintbrush down the canvas, the bright watercolors made beautiful swirls and figures. the greens and blues mixing together making a beautiful landscape on your canvas. you didn’t usually get lots of motivation nowadays, it seemed like you’ve painted everything and your brush was getting bored using the same strokes and patterns. zoned into your painting you didn’t even realize your roommate had come back home from work.

“you painting again?”, his voice called. shinra was in his baggy suspender pants and black shirt. he already kicked off his flip flops, placing them right next to the door.

you whipped your head towards him, “oh yea, i got some motivation”, turning back towards the unfinished painting.

shinra plopped down on the couch, laying his hands on the back of it, laying his head up. turning towards him you noticed his eyes were closed before he let out a small sigh turning back towards you.

“tough day?”, you asked, stroking your paintbrush lightly.

“Mm it’s always a tough day out there, but it was alright out there”, his ruby eyes staring at you.

he came up beside you and with his hands folded across his chest, “hey that’s pretty good y/n”.

you turned over to him being met with his short black hair and small blush.

“thank you, it’s supposed to be some landscape of tokyo”, you picked out some pink paints and started dotting on small flowers blossom petals on the ground.

shinra hummed, “how come you haven’t painted me yet?”.

he had a small pout on his lips, crimson orbs meeting yours. he looked like a tiny puppy, waiting for your answer.

“maybe it’s cause your ugly”, giving him a little smirk. his mouth fell agape at your reply.

”i am not ugly”, he huffed walking back over to the couch.

you laughed to yourself as he slouched back into the cushions of your couch, turning on the television.

the picture you were painting was actually a memory that came to you when you were little. shinra and you playing in the park your mom used to take you both to. before shinras mother passed, you all would play small games and look onto the lake you dubbed ‘the lake of fire’.

once his mother had passed, your mother took him in. it was like a having your best friend as your sibling. literally. to be honest, you didn’t know why you thought of that memory today, and why you got the sudden urge to paint but here we are.

ours had passed, shinra ordered ramen and fried pork for dinner leaving you some by the small stool beside you.

“you should get something to eat, you’ve been sitting there a long time”, shinra said.

you sighed taking a bite of the noodles still concentrated on the canvas, that was half drying on your easel.

the glass of water your brushes were bathing in was murky and light. the easel spotted with blots of watercolors and water splatters.

turning over you saw shinra, was still on the couch watching his weird shows. he was waiting for you to go to bed like he always does.

when he moved in with you and your mom back in the day, he would wait for you to go to sleep together, not wanting to be alone. he carried the habit to now, but you didn’t really mind it.

“shinra you could go to bed if you want”, you called out.

he turned his head towards you, his midnight hair covering the tops of his eyes, “i’m good”, he turned back towards the tv, “are you almost finished?”.

taking out the slim brush from the glass, tapping it lightly, “almost i just have a couple more things to add, it won’t take long”.

he hummed in his response, returning his attention back towards the screen.

the brush danced lightly as you filled in the sketch of toddler you and shinra, laying on the soft green grass. painting shinras cute little blushes that were more prominent when he was a child made your heart swell with joy.

it seemed like you were done waiting for it to dry. to be honest you didn’t want to show shinra, as it was more like a painting for you, a very intimate one. so, you hid it in a closet for it to dry, keeping it out of his sight.

the next morning you woke up later than you usually do, probably because you were up all night, but you wanted to see the end result of your creation. wanting to spot any detail unpleasing to the eye or a spot that needed more color. you are met with a tilted shinra staring into your closet.

his face was in awe, he looked like he unlocked something almost. a key fitting into its keyhole.

“is that me... y/n?”, shinra pointed at the black haired, rosy cheeked kid on the ground.

you looked over at the painting, inspecting it from afar, “yes”, you sighed, “does it look good?”.

he turned back to you, sort of shocked at your question, “i love it y/n”, he went over to you embracing you in a hug.

shinra was warm, whenever you hugged him it felt like family, it felt like home. squeezing him tighter you felt him rub his head on your shoulder, letting out a small laugh.

“ok you can stop being sappy now, shinra”, patting his shoulder. he pulled away before looking back at the painting again with a little frown.

“what’s wrong, did i mess something up?”, you looked over at his face.

he shook his head, pointing at himself in the painting, “my forehead is not that big!”.

you scoffed and rolled your eyes, “are you joking?”.

“i’m being serious change it!”

🌿Our exchange🌿

Yes finally another part is here for you guys. I’m so sorry that it’s only 1.6k 😭🤚 I made you guys wait long for another part and aughhh. I didn’t deliver well.

Where is everyone this time??)

Okay actual story here you go guys :D

(Idk if I will keep updating this on Wattpad. Barely anyone views this and I have more reading it on tumblr. But I will try. If you can, Please let other genshin players that love Tighnari about this book! Idm having a small audience at all, it's just that my audience on tumblr has more people reading it.) (sorry for a long wait and how short it is 😭)

You woke up curled next to Tighnari. Lifting your head slightly as his began to fall. You held it up for him on your shoulder. You looked down to see the both of yours and his tail wrapped against the others body. Blushing slightly as you used magic to bring the paper on the table towards you. (If only I could irl) Reading what collei had written. You were happy for her. She was getting better at literature. 

"Y/N or Tighnari, whoever is reading this. I would like to ask you both on how to control my dendro powers better. I also want to learn a bit of magic as well just incase I can't use my bow. Please give me some lessons on these. I told the forest rangers to not disturb you both. I'm hoping none came inside, I told them to go to Rana instead. I hope you both enjoyed your nap. I would surely be exhausted talking for hours as my social battery isn't as high. Make sure to check the time when you both work up. I have some pita pockets made on the table for the both of you if you're both hungry."

-Collei.

"Awwh! That's so sweet of her!" You said in a soft voice being careful to not wake Tighnari up beside you. Your tail swished slowly as you kept reading the note. Checking the time which was 6pm. The usual time for dinner. "Hey Nari, it's 6pm do you want to eat?" You nudged him slightly Ashe work up from the gentle touch. "Mmhh?" He said as his eyes opened. He rubbed them as he registered your sentence.

"Oh sure! Also since when did you start calling me Nari hm-?~" he asked with a bit of tease in his voice. "Today because I feel comfortable, it's nice meeting a kindred spirit y'know?" You said as you pointed to the pita pockets in front of the both of you. Silently enjoying the food with not many thoughts in your head. "Do you want to do anything after we're done?" You asked him and he nodded. "Yeah I can take you somewhere that I think you would like in the Avidya Forest." "Ooh! That sounds fun!" You said as he nodded. "Make sure to not startle them. Be careful when we head there." He said as he kept eating. 

You gave him your plate as you finished. Taking them both to the sink and returning to the couch. "When do you want to go? I say nighttime is the prettiest for this place." "We can go right now if you want to Tighnari." "Alright I'll leave a note for collei to find if she can't find us." He said as you got up and went outside. He wrote where you were going to be with him and when you both should return. Before getting up and joining you.

"It's this way." He said as he pulled your shirt(or jacket) lightly. Tugging it to the right. "Oh haha!" You said slightly embarrassed as you followed him. (And no it's not a real location 🥰) After a few turns and dealing with paths you both made it to the spot. You were in awe as Tighnari looked at you. "That was how I was when I first stumbled across this place." He laughed as his gaze went back towards it. 

It was a little clearing with a pond,  Firefly's dazzled around it while some foxes were nearby resting. You could hear crickets clearly with the water rushing slowly. Some birds chirped nearby, the sounds of the animals were calming. "Make sure to not scare them away, be gentle." He said as he brought you closer. Sitting near the edge of the pond. Watching as some of the foxes came up towards him. Cautious and wary of you before realizing you wouldn’t hurt them. 

“Hmm.” You said as you petted a fox that was near you. “I wonder how it feels getting scratched behind the ear.” You said as your eyes went towards the fox. “It feels nice.” Tighnari told you as he took a few notes. “Woww so descriptive.” You playfully rolled your eyes at him as he laughed. “Numbskull of course it feels good.” Still writing notes down. “Well I never experienced it since my ears are lowered often.” 

“Anyways how long are we going to stay here?” You asked as you looked at him.” “I suppose we could stay here for a bit more if you want.” “Sure then.” You replied as your focus went elsewhere. “Are we going when you finish your notes?” “Yeah I am almost done.” He continued to write before getting up. Handing out his hand to you as you touched his. Going back towards Tighnaris house. 

“Our exchange is changing a lot.” You said out loud as he heard you. “Yeah we’re becoming friends, that’s how interactions work.” “Do you always have a need to be sassy?” “Not really do you?” “No…” “That’s good.” Collei saw as the both of you came back. Giving her report to Tighnari and told what happened while the both of you were away. “Thank you collei.” He stated as he sat down on a chair. Reading the reports that she handed him. “I’ll go get ready for bed.” Teleporting away from the both of them and quickly took a shower and changed. Using clothes you had brought along as you came back to the both of them.

“That was quick.” Collei stated as she saw you teleport in front of them. You wore a long shirt with medium length pants. Watching Tighnari read the reports. “They all did well today. Glad there’s no longer withering zone reports. Those were tiring with a limited amount of people available to battle them.” 

“It sounds as difficult as the Decree we had in inazuma. It was hard to get trades and export everything. With less visitors and unable to make trades made it hard to earn money.” You said remembering how many had suffered to afford their homes. “I have heard about it. Especially with the raiden shogun not letting anyone slip up.” 

“Anyways you guys can go sleep I’ll be writing my responses to the forest rangers.” Tighnari stated as he watched you both leave the room. Focusing on making his responses. His eyes went towards the window. Gazing at the moon every now and then. Before falling asleep on his bed. 

“Tighnari are you up yet?” You said as you tapped him as his shoulder, his ears picked up on your voice as he looked at you. “What’s up?” “The sky, anyways I’m heading to sumeru city to get some souvenirs. Do you know any good spots? Or I can mark some stuff based on sumeru.” 

“I can teach you to make a flower crown in exchange for how to make something from inazuma.” He stated as you agreed. “We can go make some quickly before I start working.” “Yeah it sounds fun!” He took out some Nilotpalas lotuses and sumeru roses. “Chose however pattern you want.” He said as he made a pattern. Watching you do the same thing. “So here’s how you do it…”

“Master has been exchanging information with Y/N again. I don’t know where they headed off to but don’t worry! He definitely wrote a message somewhere on a letter. I think it’s over there actually.” Collei stated as she handled the amount of forest rangers coming to her for help. (This sure is getting hard to keep up with, I hope the both of them return soon to us.) she thought as the number of forest rangers dwindled and finally dispersed.“Oh it’s time for patrol soon. So they should be returning soon for it.” Collei told herself as she checked the time. Getting everything ready for him and her for his arrival with you. 

“That was fun! I like the combo, purple and yellow is always great together.” You said as you enjoyed the color choice. “Glad you do, anyways it’s time for patrol so we are heading back, you can go to sumeru city and look for souvenirs and stuff over there while we’re busy.” “Alright well we should hurry we don’t want you being late to it.” He nodded as the both of you ran towards Gandharva Ville. “Well goodbye guys!” You said as you waved goodbye as they headed off. Teleporting to sumeru city you were in awe. Sumeru city’s tree really was holding up the Akademiya. “Now to find someone or somewhere to go to for souvenirs.” You stated as you wandered around the place. Many things caught you eye as you purchased some for your friends and had some breakfast over there. 

“Sumeru city is nice I didn’t think there would be a whole tree in the city! “ you told yourself as your gaze lingered on it before you pulled out your phone and started to eat. Trying to ignore the stares you recieved from others. Were they all in awe of you or were they trying to figure out what you are? Surely the scholars know you’re from inazuma and are kitsune. The ones that aren’t scholars may only know of you being inazuman.

I love looking at the "current yearnings" part of my pinned post and immediately feeling full of love

[fictionallyinparadise]

Izold,,his arms would be so,,so good?? I wanna..be held. Have him. Hold me. Just. Mamdjnsjd?

[fictionallyinparadise]

Some Izold headcanon bc I was feeling down and wrote these up, and have decided to share ;w:

-He's very awkward at giving hugs but that just makes them all the more sweeter. He's so gentle and that just makes his hugs so much better!!! I think his body is like kinda...softer and warmer than a regular person's? Idk if this makes sense but hey™.

-I give him kisses on his brain jar. Which sounds weird but like, he thinks it's sweet in a strange way? Also he likes how like. Unafraid and accepting of how he looks when it comes to affection? Not in an angsty way more in a "this person is the best I've had" type way?? Does this make sense- anyway back to kisses. If I know he's gonna go be off fighting I'll give him kisses with lipstick or something that matches his armor 🥺.

-He doesn't need sleep but he doesn't want to just leave me alone in bed. Plus he's warm so he wants to share that warmth! Also I absolutely believe I would sleep so much better if I had a big man holding me. Convinced of it.

-One of his favorite things to do is just to hold my cheek. Just...gently cupping it, brushing a..uh, safe arm attachment against it, etc. It's just...a very him thing.

-Also he tells me about war stuff. Like a war history nerd! It's so cute. I'll just be curled in his arms ready to sleep or cuddling in his lap and he can ramble and I will listen <3.

-He thinks my voice is beautiful. No matter what. Groggy grumpy morning voice? Adorable. Suffering from allergies? Concerned but still cute. Etc etc.

Hi.🙂

For the ask game: 💤, 🧺 and 😊?

Heyo!!!! I'll be answering this with Izold AAA ;w;

💤; How do you and your f/o usually sleep? Do you like to cuddle and hold each other, or do you need your space? 

I hc that he doesn't need sleep to survive but can if he wants, so he'll either lay in bed or sleep with me. He's the big spoon <3!!!!

🧺; Who usually does the laundry?

I do!! I,,,I cannot tell how much clothes he wears?? But anyway. I do! It's relaxing :>

😊; A habit of them that you find adorable?

Hmm. I'm not sure of any habits he has in canon? But I hc that he has a habit of like...being absolutely amazed at the little things the normal, unaltered human body can do. Like, I can seesaw wink and he'd be absolutely fucking dazzled. It's adorable.
