Yesterday you woke up in a forest all alone. You soon realized that you were in the land of Inazuma. A fictional place in the world of Genshin Impact, a game you had been playing for years. You assumed you were dreaming and went to check out the stores and even got to a statue of seven which granted you electro powers. You soon fell asleep, thinking that the dream would end after you fell asleep.

But, for some reason you were still asleep in this forest with four men standing over you talking in a hushed tone.

"...I don't know, are they dead?" "No you idiot, they're still breathing!" "Guys no fighting right now we have to..."

You stirred awake from your slumber stretching out your arms as you sat up. The presence of the four men behind you go unnoticed.

You look in front of you to see the same scenery you fell asleep to. What is going on? I should have woken up after I fell asleep! Maybe I need to pinch myself to wake up? You pinch yourself but nothing happens. Why didn't anything happen? Maybe I need to do it harder. You pinch yourself again. Still nothing.

Wait so if this isn't a dream then I'm stuck in the genshin im-

"Hey there," A man's voice speaks from right next to your head.

"AH!" You yelp and jump forward, creating distance between you and the voice. When you look to see who spoke to you, the sight of four men, wearing a kasa hat except for the other one who had red horns on his head. Wait. No. That's Arritaki Itto!

"Woah!" He puts his hands up "Didn't mean to scare you like that little bro,"

"I-i, um I-," You were trying to find the words to speak but they all fell into studders. How can you be in the genshin world?! This is insane!

"You're speechless I can see," He says proudly, "Of course everyone, no matter who they are, always are emamoured by the presence of the Arritaki Itto!"

"Uh, I-."

"We were just walking by when we happened to see you on the ground and we thought you had gotten attacked or something, so we came to check on you. Say, where are your parents? You don't look like you come from here and you can get lost pretty easily."

"I, um," Quick (Y/n) think of something, you can't tell them you're not from this world! "I am a traveling student, from the uh, Akademiya."

"Nuh uh, you don't look like you're old enough to be one." One of the other members behind Itto questions. "And besides the borders closed six months ago."

"Yuh uh, I came here six months ago before the borders closed to do research and got stuck after the sakoku decree was placed." You feel bad for lying to them but that's all you can do right now because you can't tell them the truth. "And yes I am a student, I just skipped a couple grades."

"Oh yeah? Then what’s nine times eight?" Another gang member asked rasing his eyebrow at you.

"72."

"Wrong! Ha! I knew you weren't a student!" He says, crossing his arms and shooting his nose up in victory.

"What? No dude, they're right, it's 72." The gang member next to him says.

"Wait what?" He looks at his other gang members in surprise and they all nod back at him. "Oh no, I owe a lot more mora to that merchant than I thought..."

"Uh, anyways why are you sleeping out here?" Itto redirects the conversation back to you.

"I ran out of mora and can't afford a place to sleep." Which is half true.

"You ran out of mora?! Doesn't that fancy school pay for everything?"

"Yeah but um, they can't get the mora to me because of um, the borders being closed and all." 

"Oh yeah, right. That Radien Shogun is causing trouble for everyone with the sakoku decree and the vision hunt." Itto grumbles. "Ya' know what? If I ever get the chance, I'll fight the Shogun for all of Inazuma's visions."

Speaking of the vision hunt decree you still had your necklace which had your elemental energy stored in it. You remember how the Raiden Shogun had tried to murder travelers over being an “exception” and something tells you that you'd be counted on that list too. It would be safer if you didn't use your elemental power at all.

“Since you don’t have any money, I’m feeling nice today so, I will offer you the chance to dine with THE Arittaki Itto!” He said shouting the ‘the’. 

“So, like free lunch? Cause I’m out of mora right now.” 

“Of course the Arritaki Gang™ can always help out!” He proudly announced. “We are a very successful gang after all!” 

“Um boss,-” One of the other gang members tried to say something but Itto cut them off.

“Not right now Akira.” He said waving him off. “So what do you say kid?” He reached out his hand to you. 

Was this the right thing to do? I just got transported to a video game, will going with Itto be the right choice? Did I make a mistake lying to him? Am I on the right path?Your hand meets Itto’s with a hard smack and Itto pulls you up to your feet. “Let’s go,”

Heyyyyy I have a request for you🩷 so idk if you watched summerslam and Monday night raw BUT if you have this is what I was thinking

So could you write a Rhea Ripley x reader x EX BF Dom basically so we all know how Dom Betrayed Rhea so basically the backstory is they were in a poly relationship and obviously the betrayal happened and he left them for liv. So basically Reader just comforts her girlfriend either after her SummerSlam match or on Monday night raw I SWEAR I JUST WANT RHEA TO BE COMFORTED. If you do this TYSM 🩷💕

Reader is NB by default

Monday Aug. 5th 11:16pm

Y/n was sleeping soundly in her bed, well as well as they could in the hotel bed. However, they were woken up by the sound of crying. Y/n gets up and walks to the bathroom door where the sobs are emerging from and knocks.

"Rhea...babe can I come in?" Y/n asks in a soft tone.

"I-im okay Y/n I just need a second" Rhea says in a broken voice, making it clear that she was crying.

"Honey, please. You don't have to hide your feelings, I know you're hurting" Y/n says, right after they hear the door unlocked.

What walks out is a very tired and broken Rhea, the dark circles under her eyes and the red tint in them makes Y/n's heart break. Rhea pulls Y/n into a hug, a tight protective hug.

"2 years...2 years of nothing..." Rhea chokes out. Y/n looks down at this, while they weren't a wrestler they too were surprised and hurt by Dominiks sudden betrayal. However, they need to be strong for Rhea their girlfriend.

"I know Rhea...." Y/n says not knowing what else to say.

Rhea knows that Y/n is hurting too, they to were together with Dominik for 2 years. Rhea shakes her head and rubs Y/n's back.

"I know you're hurting too...you're aloud to cry too" Rhea wispers. Y/n freezes but shakes thier head.

"No...I'm not going to cry over that- that- stupid-" Y/n studders before they started crying. "What did we do wrong Rhea? Why weren't we enough...."

Rhea sighs and lets a few tears fall herself before saying.

"I Don't know Y/n...I Don't know"

About 2 hours later both Rhea and Y/n are on the hotel bed and watching some random cartoon on screen. Rhea isn't paying attention that much to the show but is focused on Y/n. Y/n however is watching the show intently. Y/n is soon brought out of it when they feel Rhea nuzzling their neck.

"You alright babe?" Y/n asks. They are met by Rhea clinging to them like they would disappear if she let go.

"Rhea? What's wrong?" Y/n asks growing concerned.

"Don't leave...please..." Rhea says, muffled by Y/n's neck.

"I won't, I promise...I love you too much you won't get rid of me" Y/n says lovingly. Rhea puts on a small smile.

"I love you too...so so much" Rhea says now cuddling Y/n.

Y/n gives Rhea a gentle kiss on her lips which Rhea obliged with giving back another kiss.

"Good night Rhea" Y/n says

"Good night Y/n" Rhea responds, as the two of them fall asleep in each other's arms.

Because you had the audacity to come to his studio, wrapped in either his blanket or hoodie and looking up at him with your big doe eyes

Youre just so cute he wants to squish you :((

Happily places you onto his lip and melts when you snuggle your head into his chest

Runs his hands through your hair and rubs your back, putting you to sleep ♡

JUNMIN ☆

Another squealer

Probably the shyest youll ever find him, looking down at you with so much love in his eyes

He adores you <3

"Whats wrong baby?" He'd say in a small calm voice, pulling you closer to him ♡

SUMIN ☆

Another another squealer

Just know that he will squish your cheeks

Then processeds to get shy about it, apologizing because it was impulse

Uses this time to check up on you, asking how youre feeling, what you want for dinner

Gets a little sleepy because its just so calming ♡

JINSIK ☆

Doesnt have much reaction

Like hed continue watching tv with your head on his lap and him stroking your hair

"Wanna watch something else?" He'd lean down and whisper in your ear, his voice is so soft

Opts to turn off the tv so he can cuddle you in peace

Uses this time to stare at you, mumbling how pretty you are ♡

HYUNWOO ☆

Its either one or two ways

Your head is on his shoulder and his head is on top of yours, singing you a sweet song

Or your head is on his shoulder and his head is on top of yours, saying the dumbest jokes alive

You either fall asleep on him

Or you end up leaving with hyunwoo laughing at you ♡

JUNGHOON ☆

Hes caught off guard ngl

Like frozen in his spot when you rest your head on his back as hes looking for something in the fridge

And when your arms wrap around his waist, he gets so hot

Please dont have sweater paws, he WILL die on the spot (that rhymes haha ^)

So inclusion, hes a hot, studdering mess and lowkey hates you for making him feel this way ♡

SEEUN ☆

Initiating teasing

"Im just so soft and warm that you wanna snuggle with me huh?" Quipped with his classic smirk

But immediately pulls you back to his arms when you get up to leave

"Im just kidding baby, stay with me."

Truth was he wanted to snuggle with you first, but was so shy ♡

YUJUN ☆

GIGGLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Like so loud

A wide smile on his face and just giggling

"What are you doing?~" as he hugs you back, with this huge giggle. Sighssss ♡

HUNTER ☆

Hes a little shocked that hes so comfortable that you just randomly lay on him

Cups your cheeks and kisses you so sweetly

So it kinda turns into a makeout session??

YECHAN ☆

|| Arrival || Rengoku x Fem!Reader

Note: The day has finally come, Rengoku's pregnant wife was ready for labor. now, lets just fucking get too it-

. . .

It was a dark night, just you and Rengoku sleeping well in bed. The sound of the wind outside, the crickets chirping, and the sound of your husband snoring next to you.

You were okay at first like, you weren't worried that the baby would come too soon. You thought "just a couple more weeks..." till the baby would arrive. I mean, thats what the doctor thought...

Rengoku couldn't wait any longer for the baby's deliver. Everyday he would talk to the baby in your belly shouting "Come out very soon!!! I want to see your adorable face!!!!" And everytime he does that, you laugh. It's funny that He's just talking to your stomach. Rengoku is just rlly excited.

. . .

"mm... damnit... this is the third time..." you silently groan. You get up from bed and walk over to the bathroom. Man... was the baby giving you a hard time...

You then feel sudden cramping... a lot... of sudden cramping. You moan in pain, placing your hand on your swollen belly. You try to suck it up and just stay up for a bit. You walk into the kitchen making yourself some tea to soothe the pain.

You sit down on the mat and take a long sip. The warmth of the tea seemed to settle the pain, which was good. But ... what was not good... was that you felt like you just peed yourself...

You look down on the floor to see a wet mat... then, you suddenly realized....

"Kyojuro!!!!!!????? KYOJURO!!!??" You screamed. Rengoku heard your sudden screaming, quickly got up from bed and ran straight to you. "What??!! Whats wrong?!?!!" He asked. "I... Kyo... Ngh!! I think.. It's Time...!!!" You studder. "HUH!!?? REALLY?!??! IS IT TIME!!????!!!!" Rengoku shouted. "YES!!! NOW HURRY AND GET SOMEONE!!!"

Rengoku panicked, "UH...??" he studdered. "Do you want me to carry you to the Butterfly Mansion?? So Kocho can help????!!!!!" "YES JUST... NGH!!" You scream in pain. "Okay!!! Okay!!! Up We GO!!!" Rengoku picks you up into his arms and rushes to Lady Kocho's Mansion.

"MISS KOCHO??? ARE YOU HERE??? IT'S A SERIOUS EMERGANCY!!!!" Rengoku shouts. "Huh???!! What???!!!" Shinobu ran over. "Whats Wrong???!!!" She questioned. "Y/N IS READY FOR LABOR... WILL YOU HELP US??!?!?!!!!??!" "Oh my!!! Yes Of Course!!!! Take her to the infermery!!! I'll be there in just a sec!!! I'll go call for more help!!!" Shinobu then rushes to find Aoi and Kanao. (she didn't want to call Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo cause they seem to young-)

"Its going to be alright Little Flame! Just breathe!! Take deep breaths!!! Everything is alright!!" "Kyojuro... I'm scared..." You weeped. "No, don't be!! I'm here!! I'll be standing right here the whole way through!!! ...Take my hand.. It's going to be okay... Little Flame.... just calm down... and breathe.. in... and out..." Rengoku cups the back of your head and touches foreheads together. "We're here!! And we have some of the stuff!!! AOI!! KANAO!! Go get more towels!!" Shinobu shouted. Aoi and Kanao then rush to get more.

"Shhh, Just breathe Y/N, breeeathe. steady your breath.. shh, its going to okay, just relax... relax.." Shinobu gently puts her hand on your cheek. "We Got More Towels!!!" Aoi shouted. "Good! Now... Y/N? Are you ready??" Shinobu asked. You nod weakly. "Alright. Now, I'm going to remove your pants okay??" Shinobu said while slowly removing your pants. Kanao places a towel under your legs so all that blood and liquid would be caught in it. (dont want no bloody bed) "Now... Y/N, I'm going to count okay. When I say 3, you push. And keep pushing till I count to 10. Alright? . . . 1 . . . 2 . . .3"

"PUUUUSSSHHH!!!!" Everyone in the room shouted.

. . .

"oh, my..." Shinobu grabs the baby. You hear the first cry of your child... Rengoku looks at his baby, tears falling down his cheeks, Joy growing more and more in him. "you did it Little Flame... We're parents now..." He sobbed with a smile. You give him a faint smile.. you were so exhausted... sweat rolling down from your forhead and cheeks... you face red from all the pushing. "Rengoku!! Please come in here!!" Shinobu called from the next room cleaning up the baby. "Oh! Alright Kocho! I'm coming!! I'll be right back..." Rengoku lets go of your hand and walks over to the next room.

"heh... congratulations Rengoku... here's your new baby boy..." Shinobu says giving him his child. Rengoku grabs his baby and holds it in his arms. Rengoku's smile slowly faded as he looked deeply into his son's eyes. His eyes widen in happiness. Tears falling out of his eyes like waterfalls. "go show her!" Aoi told him. Rengoku looks up at the three girls... "thank you..."

Rengoku walks back to the infermery, "Little Flame!! Look!! It's a boy!! We have a son!!" He said excitedly. You sit up and ask him if you could hold him. Rengoku gives you the baby, and you stare right into his small beautiful eyes. "heh, he has your eyes kyo..." Rengoku silently laughs, looking down to his child.

" . . . he looks just like you . . . Kyojuro. . .❤️‍🔥"

DAMN, THIS TOOK AWHILE- Hope ya'll enjoyed!!!

The Little Smiling Mermaid (Chapter 5)

AKA The one where Alan sings! (Sorry I didn’t have enough time for an elaborate illustration because this week was busy as hell)

Originally Charlie was going to sing at the end of this chapter but it’s getting pretty long, so perhaps next time he will…also I figured I’d update this story every two weeks to give me more time to finish this story and draw illustrations for it. Thank you for your support of my fanfic!

Charlie had just experienced the wildest night of his life…and considering his rambunctious buccaneering lifestyle, that was saying a lot! Right after Salty’s crew mates crashed his already-rowdy party and turned it into another sloppy brawl, he got flung overboard and briefly rescued by that mysterious pink critter with the rosy locks and the soothing, angelic voice…and right after his friends found him and brought him back to their ragtag vessel, he hurled and passed out right then-and-there.

When Charlie woke up in his chamber, he could barely remember anything about last night other than a vague image of that mystery critter that gave him an indescribable feeling of uncertainty yet warmth. Just then he heard his door creek open as his ever-excitable scullery maid and part-time cabin gal Smormu chirped in a sing-song manner: “Good Afternoon, Princey! Hope you’re feeling better…” Charlie’s eyes were open yet he wasn’t exactly “awake” enough to croak out a single coherent response. Smormu greeted the foggy-minded scallywag Prince a tray carrying an open-faced sandwich consisting of one buttered slice of rye bread topped with bacon, liverwurst, aspic, tomatoes, horseradish and parsley. “Chef Spitz is on his smoke break so I went in the kitchen and prepared your favorite, Smorie…S-Smormu…” As you an see, Smormu clearly had trouble pronouncing the name of the dish, whose delightful homecooked smell made its way to Charlie’s nostrils and brought that poor washed-up boy back to reality. Charlie sprang out of bed smacking his lips and replying to the studdering Smormu: “Aw man, I could really go for some Smørrebrød right now!” as he immediately reached his long chunky arm to irreverently swipe the tray from the maid’s hand to take a bite, wasting no time savoring the lovingly prepared dish. With an audible gulp, he blurted out: “Thanks sis, you shouldn’t have.” Smormu giggled with a friendly response: “Anytime, buddy…” she trailed off for a minute until she remembered a crucial announcement she was also designated to deliver with the Smørrebrød. “…Oh! I also have an exciting announcement! Your Uncle is visiting the Palace and he’s halfway there!” That last sentence alone sadistically echoed in Charlie’s head as his delighted smile quickly wilted into a more depleted and soured frown. “What’s wrong, too much horseradish?” Asked poor, naive little Smormu. Charlie was aware that she only had this job for half a year and didn’t understand why an “exciting announcement” would bring him down like this. “It’s hard to explain.”

Charlie sighed as he reluctantly got up to get dressed as Smormu fled the scene to give him some privacy. Charlie knew very well he was once again going to be stuck in that stuffy, navy-blue suit he just couldn’t stand to wear as not only it wasn’t nearly as loose and comfortable as his “adventure” clothes, the suit alone would remind him of his least fondly-remembered moments of his life. He reluctantly recalled the last time he wore it was when he was invited to a banquet thrown by a precious suitor, Princess Zoey of a neighboring kingdom. He liked Zoey and she liked him back, she even stood up for him when he was being teased by the other noble guests for his “blobfish”-like appearance and nasally voice. It all went downhill after he drank a little too much punch to pass the time and as a result got so violently intoxicated that he was swinging on the chandelier hollering curse words in another language until accidentally ripping the chandelier out of the ceiling and crashing it onto the floor. Not only was Charlie thrown out, the countries cut ties with each other and briefly went to war as a result of this actions. Even if it was two or three-ish years ago, Charlie could still strongly feel the shame and embarrassment he faced in the aftermath of his stunt, especially most dreadful of all his Uncle arriving to deliver a long, harsh lecture on how he’d never find a suitor and even if he was next in line on the throne that the Dompler line would tragically end with him and how he wished his parents lived long enough to spawn a proper heir so that they could pawn their mistake of a son off to some lowbrow kingdom like Spamtopia. Charlie shuddered as his Uncle’s cruel words circled his brain like vultures preying upon a vulnerable mouse. As Charlie squirmed his way into his attire, he felt less like a noble putting on formal clothes for an important Family meeting and much more like a prisoner on death row and on his way to be disposed of by an executioner.

The sharply-dressed yet reluctant Charlie finally crept down the stairs from his chamber, making way into the throne room where his grandmother was perched on her seat with Mr. Boss by her side as she conversed with a man who resembled Charlie, except he looked and acted the exact opposite of her grandson. He was a slender, puke pale yellow critter whose face was decorated in wrinkles and scowl-marks, and two scars adorned on on his lower lip and left eye as marks left over from a war he happily volunteered in long ago to earn his status as a true “Alpha Male”. Behind him was a short maiden with long auburn hair, a large round nose, and a green dress draped with a brown shawl

With an audible gulp, Charlie piped up in an uncharacteristically sheepish manner, “S’up man?” While struggling to face his Uncle eye-to-eye as the older critter turned his attention away from the family matriarch to shoot daggers at his nephew. “Well I’ll be damned, it’s our monarchy’s biggest mistake.” He responded with a sardonic chuckle, continuing: “But don’t worry, you won’t be looked down upon as the Screw-Up Prince of Gremblonia for long…IF you manage to do just one thing right…” and suffice to say that neither the Queen or Mr. Boss where even a little amused by any of the shit that was spewing out of this asshole’s mouth. Mr. Boss was tempted to give the pompous Duke a piece of his mind had it not been for the Queen gently holding him back and pacifying the intense atmosphere with her firm-yet-gentle words: “Now Eustace, please show some respect to our dear Charlie, he is a member of this family after all, Oh! A-aren’t you going to tell us about the suitor you picked out for our boy?” After about five seconds of pure unadulterated silence, Duke Eustace Dompler sighed and continued, barely restraining his resentment towards his nephew. “Luckily for you I picked out a suitor-ette who’s ever-so kindly willing to give you a chance.” said Eustace in a passive-aggressive tone as he stepped back from Charlie to gesture his hand toward the girl he presented to the group: “I introduce before this court Princess Mipnessa of the Enchanted Forest.” Princess Mipnessa curtsied with her own verbal introduction: “Pleasant Greetings, Queen Dolores and Prince Charles.” Charlie’s eyes widened when he noticed Mipnessa’s head-shape, her stubby appearance and her hair, all of a sudden a vague and fuzzy memory was coming back to him but he couldn’t exactly put his finger on it; “Charlie, are you okay sweetheart?” Queen Dolores gently snapped Charlie out of his trance as he started sweating bullets, blurting out: “Salutations, my Noble Maiden Fair!” Queen Dolores and Mipnessa giggled at Charlie’s presentation, assuming he was deliberately clowning around. “That’s my grandson, so spontaneous! You’re going to enjoy his company.” Eustace rolled his eyes at his awkward dork of a nephew. Charlie darted his eyes back and forth until he pulled out his Ocarina to show to Mipnessa. “Dunno if this is the right instrument for serenading but I’ve been playing this since I was a homunculi.” Charlie then performed the melody to “The Raked Hornpipe” which ended in applause from the rest, even Eustace was impressed.

~ Back in the sapphire waves below, Pim couldn’t get his mind off of Charlie, swimming in loop-de-loops humming a sweet melody before barrel-rolling into a bed of water hyacinths to stretch his stubby arms and tail, giggling and swooning over the mental image of that hunky yellow critter. He picked one of the hyacinths and started plucking one petal at a time, murmuring to himself “He loves me, he loves me not…” while the back of his mind was trying to spell out how he was forgetting one crucial thing, now what was it again? Glep picked some barnacles off a rock and crunched them in his mouth like popcorn while watching his twitter-pated bestie in amusement while Alan paced back and forth, agonizing over the hypothetical worst-case-scenario if the Royal Family retrieved Pim and found out about his antics since swimming away from home. When picking the last petal off the hyacinth, Pim squealed: “Oh, I knew it!!”, following by a giggling fit before rising out of the patch to triumphantly declare: “I gotta see him again- tonight!! Graham Nelly knows here he lives! I’ll swim up to his castle, then Glep will swim around to get his attention-” Alan cut Pim off to scold him with a concerned response: “Pim, you know it’s unhealthy to stay out of the water for too long, you’ll dehydrate! Besides, what if some hoard of blood thirsty fishmongers take you and turn you into a three course meal?!” Pim only stared at Alan in a daze before shaking his head, replying: “Oh Alan, not all land folk see us as food for slaughter.” Alan sighed, but not willing to give up trying to talk some sense in the headstrong-lovesick mercritter as a percussion beat in-tune was starting up: “Pim, listen to me: the mammalian world… it's a mess….besides, life under the sea is better than anything they got up there.”

Alan briefly cleared his throat before singing: “The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake! You dream about going up there~ but that is a big mistake.” He gestured his arm upward before making a shrugging pose and shaking his head before dramatically folding out his arms wide with a spin as Pim looked around, “Just look at the world around you right here on the ocean floor~” Just then little Swimming Meeps playfully circled around Pim as the pink mercritter giggled as Alan nodded off: “Such wonderful things around you! What more are you lookin' for?” The lobster started strutting across in a form of dance: “Under the sea~ under the seaaa~ darling it’s better-down where it’s wetter~ take it from meee!!” Glep chuckled at the silly little thought of crudely drawn versions of Pim and Alan, with the former literally taking the ocean away from the latter as he gasped for water. “Up on the shore they work all day~ Out in the sun they slave away~ while we devotin' full time to floatin' under the seaaaa!!” Alan’s song-and-dance caught the attention of other ocean dwellers and it proved to be so infectious that they all joined in, all of a sudden this subtle lecture cast out of genuine concern and worry was turning into an underwater dance party. Alan continued his theatrical editorial: “Down here all the fish are happy as off through the waves they roooll~ The fish on the land ain't happy-“ the tune got to Glep, as even he started singing along: “Eska-daya-zebawa-yo!”

“But fish in the bowl is lucky~ the rest have a worser fate! One day when the boss get hungry, guess who's gonna be on the plate?” Glep made a play-dead pose, stuffing a barnacle in his mouth to resemble a classic example of a roast pig. The crowd of fish and sea life obviously figured out that answer shouting in unison: “OH SHIT!”…not that it could break up the rowdy crowd’s jovial performance as everyone else continued backing up Alan’s number. As much as Pim disagreed with Alan’s view of the Land, he sure found it catchy! Pim twirled gracefully as fish swam around him, even tempting to sing along.

“Under the sea! Under the seaaa! No one can beat us, fry us or eat us~ in fricasseeeee!! We’re what the landfolks loves to cook, under the sea we’re off the hook! We got no troubles, life is the bubbles! Under the seaaaa!” A little chorus of singing meeps repeated back, “Under the sea!”

“Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here~ Naturally!! Even the sturgeon and the ray, they get the urge and start to play! We got the spirit, you got to hear it! Under the seaaaa!!” Some of the sea animals started contributing to Alan’s number with instruments, enriching the sound and building up to the inevitable climax as Alan pulled his conductor’s wand from some invisible pocket: “The newt, play the flute! The carp, play the harp! The plaice, play the bass! Now we’re soundin' sharp! The bass, play the brass! The chub, play the tub and the fluke, you’re the duke of soul!” A deep-voiced fluke agreed: “Oh, yeaaaaah!” Alan continued conducting the group while singing to Pim: “The ray sure can play, the ling's on the strings! The trout's rocking out! The catfish, she sings!” A literally half-fish half-cat harmonized with Pim much to Glep’s confusion. “The smelt and the sprat, they know where it's at and oh can that blowfish blow!” A brief instrumental breakdown ensued before Alan and Pim harmonized at the start of the big finish: “YEAAAAH UNDER THE SEA!!” “Under the seaaa~” “Under THE SEA!” “Under the seaaaa~!” “When the sardine begin the beguine it’s music to meeee!!!” “It’s music to meeee~” “What do they got? A lot of sand? We got a hot crustacean band! Each little clam here they know how to jam here~!”

The chorus began to help out Alan with wrapping up the number on a high note: “Under the seaaa!~ Each little slug here’s cuttin’ a rug here- Under the seaaaa!! Each little snail here knows how to wail here, that’s why it's hotter under the water! Pim, you’re in luck here-down in the muck, here!”

The band belted out one last: “UNDER THE SEAAAAA!!!”

Alan took a deep breath and regained his composure, not expecting to have let himself loose like that. “Well Pim, Whaddya say?…Pim?” As the band scattered, Alan looked around only to find Pim swam away again with Glep following suit. All that work and nothing to show for it! The exasperated crustacean rolled his eyes and snarked: “I swear, even if those two had their fins nailed to the floor, they’d still find a way to break free….”

Just when Alan was about to scuttle off to find his friends, an unexpected visitor snuck up behind him asking: “Alan, have you seen any sign of her?” Alan jumped as he nervously turned around to find Prince Damien, whose stoic exterior was used as a facade to hide the genuine concern and worry for his youngest sibling of which his stubborn father wrote off as nothing more than weakness. Alan was barely succeeding in masking his own anxiety, conflicted in confiding in arguably the least ferocious member of Pim’s family yet not wanting to reveal a clue to potentially lead to Pim to be unceremoniously dragged back home to be further mistreated. “No, but I’m trying my best, your majesty.” Alan started to feel grateful that Pim took off before anyone in his family could encounter him. “I’m gonna keep looking outside of the kingdom for her, I hope to Neptune he didn’t get scooped up by those fish eaters…” Alan just had a morbidly vivid vision of Pim screaming on a cutting board as a chef sharpened his knife. “I hope not either.” A deafening silence fell between the two, until Alan broke silence: “I’m going to keep looking for Pim.” Damien nodded in agreement, responding with: “I’ll look this way, you look over there.” before swimming off. When the coast was clear, Alan sighed in relief and scurried off.

During Alan’s showstopping song, Pim had realized too late he left his cloak on the island after taking it off to maneuver Charlie up on land. While retracing his steps and trying not to panic too badly, Pim remembered where he saw it last: laid out beneath a briefly waterlogged Charlie on the shore near those rocks….unfortunately there was no sign of the cloak as Pim’s anxiety gif to him as he burst into tears, bawling in despair: “My nanny woven that cloak! I’ve had it for so long and yet I’m such a careless idiot that I left it here!!” Glep comforted Pim best he could for a fish out of water, hugging the larger critter’s tail. Luckily good ol’ Graham Nelly cropped up and noticed the anguish of his younger cousin, asking: “Hey man, what’s with the blues?” Pim sniffled, replying with a wheeze: “I lost my cloak…I left it here when I rescued Chawlie.” Graham felt immense sympathy and patted Pim on the back, then he immediately remembered one crucial detail that was being ignored. “Eureka!” Graham proclaimed, Pim curiously asked while drying his eyes: “You know where it could be?” Graham confidently answered: “You know, I remember you using your cloak to hoist Charlie up and lying that salty kelp-critter burrito out on the shore…and when he took off I think he was wearing it-“ Pim’s face it up with a smile, hugging his cousin tightly. “That’s it! Oh thank you Graham Nelly, I love you!” The older cousin chuckled, “That’s not all, come follow me and I’ll take you to a shortcut to outside of his pad!”

Chapter 6 (Which I am typing out atm) Arrives In Two Weeks

[stormberry-12]

hey! idk if you do ed based story requests but if you do could you write something along the lines of the reader struggling with her ed/ana specifically and jj noticing so he decides to take her out for an acai bowl along the beach with blankets and they sit down and eat together? (lots of fluff pls!!) if you dont feel comfortable I totally understand just thought I’d ask :)

dinner date ♡ ~ jj maybank x reader

ofc i can! thank you so much for the request :)

warnings/possible triggers: ed/ana, slight mental health stuff.

pairing: jj maybank x fem!reader

notes: lowercase intended

jj had been noticing a sudden shift to your normally bubbly personality, and jj being jj, he decided to investigate. he hated to see you upset and tired all the time, to find out what was wrong he basically started following you everywhere. (well, more than he had already)

you didn't think too much of it, you loved jj with all your heart, and the more time you spent together the closer you got.

it was only when you were hanging out with the pogues one day that someone mentioned it.

"there's jj, following y/n around again," kie laughed.

"little lost puppy," john b quipped chugging a beer.

jj rolled his eyes at their remarks and sat down with you and the pogues around the fire pit.

"wanna s'more y/n?" pope offered kindly, but you declined, saying you had a big dinner and were totally stuffed.

jj furrowed his eyebrows, he had barely seen you eat anything all day. then it hit him like a truck, and it made him sick to his stomach, he could read you like a book. he knew what was going on and didn't know how he hadn't thought of it earlier.

the following day you sat in the hammock reading the new book that jj had gotten you for your birthday last month.

"hiya cupcake!" he said sprinting over and sliding into the hammock next to you, rocking it back and forth subconsciously with his feet.

"hey jay," you snuggled into his side and turned the page of your book listening to his breathing and the calming waves splashing against the shore. he wrapped his arms around you and buried his face in your hair.

after a few minutes, jj piped up, "i'm bored," you raised an eyebrow and smirked at him, he couldn't last 10 minutes just sitting in silence.

"what do you wanna do?" you asked.

"dinner date?" he pondered and you felt your blood run cold.

"uh- i- i don't know," you studdered.

"c'mon! it'll be fun!" he closed your book and dragged you by the hand over to the chateau. flipping his hat and climbing onto his motorbike he motioned for you to sit behind him. you shook lightly with fear and anticipation, "cold?" he asked and you shrugged your shoulders, sure that was a good excuse.

jj ran inside and when he returned he was carrying john b's fuzzy green couch blanket. he returned to his spot on the bike and placed the blanket in your arms, "hold on," he said and you wrapped your arms around his waist burying your face in his back.

when you arrived in town jj imediatly parked his bike, swung the blanket over his shoulder, and dragged you to the food vendors on the beach.

"i'm cravin' a smoothie bowl," he whispered.

you laughed trying to calm yourself, "for dinner?"

"hell yeah, baby!"

you smiled at his enthusiasm, the beach was quiet and there were almost no people lined up for food due to how late it was in the day. jj ran up to the smoothie stand pulling you along with him, interlocking your fingers with his.

"two acai bowls, please!" he said to the lady working the stand.

you stood hip to hip hands still intertwined, you fidgeted with his rings and leaned your head against his shoulder.

"so when were you gonna tell me it was happening again?" he asked his tone suddenly more serious.

"i- what?" you answered looking up at him, feeling your stomach twist.

"i don't think i've seen you eat anything for the past three days..."

"jj-"

"TWO ACAI BOWLS," the clerk called out. jj released your hand and went to grab the food. when he came back he didn't say anything and just started walking toward the sand. you dragged your feet behind him.

the two of you sat on the beach, watching the waves crash on the shore, there was a beautiful sunset forming in the sky and you got butterflies as you looked at the sweet blonde boy next to you. he had wrapped the large green blanket over both your shoulders and snuggled up close to you, digging his toes into the sand.

he turned to you holding out your bowl and a spoon, "i don't know who got into that pretty head of yours that you needed to change your body, but they were wrong."

you looked at him and your heart fluttered and twinged at the same time.

"your the most beautiful girl i've ever met, you know that y/n?"

you blushed at his words and he placed the food in your hands, placing a kiss on your temple.

"we'll eat it together, ready?" he grinned at you and you gave him a small smile. you both brought your spoons to your lips and began to eat the most delicious acai bowls you had ever had.

as you reached the bottom of the bowls jj giggled, took some onto his spoon, and dolloped it onto your nose. you gasped in fake shock, "how dare you!"

he laughed harder as you catapulted a berry and hit him straight in the forehead. jj tackled you and the two of you rolled over a few times, getting tangled up in the blanket. jj ending up on top of you, hovering over your body.

he wiped the food off your face with his sleeve and gazed into your eyes, "you ever have trouble eating again you tell me, got it?"

you nodded and he kissed you deeply, on the perfect summer night basking in the sunset.

[dismalnightsposts]

So proud of my first fluff/kiss scene. I thought I'd share it.

"Nonononono, Wendy, what the fuck have I done?" Dipper whispers. Bill has to get him back to the Mystery Shack. He snaps his fingers, teleporting the three into the living room. The demon lays Wendy on the couch and crouchs before Dipper. "Dipper, look at me. You need to breathe. None of this was your fault." Bill coaxes. Dipper stares at him like he's grown three heads, "They were after me." "That doesn't make any of it your fau-" "It makes all of it my fault." The boy shouts, standing up and turning away. "I am their target because I am going to destroy them." By this point, Wendy is awake, and Stan and Ford are watching in the doorway, but the boy either doesn't notice or doesn't care. "Demon or not, right or wrong, they are after me, and I'm putting everyone in danger." Dipper continues. Bill doesn't know what to say. How can Dipper be so eager to paint himself as the villain? In the corner of his eye, he sees Ford gesture towards the attic. Bill snaps his fingers, taking himself and Dipper to the boy's room and pulls him into a hug. He expects Dipper to fight, but he doesn't. Instead, he returns the hug, burying his face into Bill's chest. "It's not your fault, Dipper. None of this is your fault. You shouldn't have to deal with this." Bill runs his fingers through the boy's hair. "You've done nothing to deserve this." He pulls back slightly, cups Dipper's cheek in his hand, and without thinking kisses him. "Shit, I didn't-" Bill studders, "I'm sorry." ●●●●● Dipper looks at the demon in surprise. "Don't be." He smiles, grabbing the back of Bill's head. Once again, their lips are locked together, and it feels so right. All of Dipper's fear and anger dissipate. The only thing he feels now is Bill. Their lips in perfect sync, the demon's hands tangling in his hair and clinging to his waist. Suddenly, Dipper's back is against the wall. Bill slowly kisses down the boy's jaw and neck, lingering on the soft spot above his collar bone. He pulls back, looking Dipper in the eyes hungrily. Dipper snakes his arms around the man's neck, continuing the kiss desperately. Bill places his knee between his legs and grabs Dipper's thighs. He lifts the boy effortlessly, and Dipper wraps his legs around the demon's waist enthusiastically. Secure between Bill and the wall, Dipper deepens the kiss. Bill slowly passes his tongue between their swollen lips, exploring the boy's mouth. Dipper sighs quietly, tightening his grip on Bill. They eventually separate, gasping for breath. Neither say a word as their foreheads rest against each other. They simply grip onto each other, and Dipper wonders if Bill is just as afraid of losing him as he is. Bill finally breaks the silence, "I'm going to do everything in my power to protect you and your family. I promise, Pinetree." This time, the nickname has sincerity in it. Dipper frowns and rests his head on the demon's shoulder. "But I can't let you sacrifice yourself." He replies. Bill laughs lightly as he sits on the edge of the bed, still holding Dipper firmly. "You aren't getting rid of me that easily."

The Pain Before (Niragi x Reader) Part 12

Part 11, Series Masterlist, Part 13

(** Smut w/ “plot”)

Kuina tapped harder on the door, its inside echoing with the rhythm of her knuckles. She huffed in the empty hallway, biting the candy stick she had in her mouth. She stood listening to the silence before rolling her eyes, letting herself in, and closing the door behind her. 'If he gets upset, he would just be upset,' she thought. "I've been standing outside your door for close to five minutes--" She stopped before the bed as she looked on questioningly, staring at his back.

"Uh... Everything go alright last night?"

She began to fidget with the candy stick more as her question was met with more silence. She gave Chishiya another moment before pressing further, "Did everything... Not go alright last night?" She observed him as his head seemed to drop, his back hunched over. Kuina had seen many defeated people in the Borderlands, but never Chishiya. He would be the last person she would ever expect to be in this position at any given time. If something goes wrong, he always has another card up his sleeve.

"Hey, Chishiya..." She slowly walked alongside the bed and around, carefully sitting next to him. "Where's (Y/N)?" He shifted at the question, his eyes planted on the ground in front of him. "... I don't know." He stated bluntly. Kuina held back the urge to shake him senselessly as she tried to pull more out of him, "... What? What the hell happened Chishiya? Did you find out what you needed to?"

He stayed silent for a moment before slowly licking his lips, carefully contemplating his next words. He sighed and lifted his head, his eyes briefly looking over at Kuina, "Yeah. I did. Maybe more than what I wanted to." She gave him a curious look before looking down at her hands resting on her knees. "I don't feel great about my part in that... Getting a girl drunk and having someone drug her just... Gives me the ick."

Chishiya turned his head to look at her as she wiggled, his brow raised slightly. "You say that as if I'd take advantage of her."

Kuina sighed and stood, taking the candy stick out of her mouth for a moment to speak. "There's more than one way to take advantage of someone, you know. I'll be by the pool until game time." She didn't wait for a response before leaving his room, closing his door behind her. She swallowed the lump forming in her throat, forcing the thoughts of you out of her mind. Her loyalty was with Chishiya, but she knew as well as he did, that she also wished to be loyal to you as well.

You opened your eyes to the sun already towering in the sky, your head throbbing at the sight. You grimaced at the light and turned your head down, opening your eyes to see Niragi laying peacefully under you. The heat rose to your cheeks quickly as you took in your positions. Both hands rested carefully on his bare chest, one of his arms wrapped around your waist, the other of his supporting his head under the pillow. The pain seemed to disappear without another thought as you unknowingly took in his sleeping face.

Niragi looked so peaceful, so at rest under you. You could feel your body slowly rise and fall with his chest, the sun highlighting his features so effortlessly. "Enjoying the view?" Your eyes snapped to his as he murmured, barely opening an eye to look up at you. Your words escaped as you studdered over them, your thoughts not forming correctly. It felt like you'd been caught as you felt your face flush.

You went to push yourself off him as he laughed, wrapping his hand tighter around your waist and holding you to him. "I... I should get back to my room, Niragi," He sighed heavily and closed his eyes again, "... No." You tried to hide your fluster even though he wasn't looking at you, "I still need breakfast, and to shower--" He silenced your protests rather quickly, meeting your lips with his own, his tongue forcing itself through. Your heart quickened as his hand wandered under your shirt, going up and down your back while drawing light circles on your skin.

Niragi reached up to cup the back of your neck with his other hand, pulling you down into him. You closed your eyes as his tongue swirled around yours, the cold metal gently gliding across the roof of your mouth briefly. Your mouth opened in a gasp as Niragi rose his knee in between your thighs, his hand that made gentle circles now moving downward to firmly grab your waist. His lips turned upward into a smile as he took in the soft moan that escaped you, pushing himself into you.

You let out a yelp in surprise as Niragi hurriedly flipped your body underneath him, his hand running along the outside of your thigh. Your body squirmed under his gaze, and you could see his prideful smile as he watched your reaction. He lowered himself down to your ear, carefully whispering to you, "You'll shower here... With me." He could see the embarrassment creep up, washing over you. Niragi smiled and let out a soft chuckle as he swept strands of your hair away from your neck, gently sucking the skin under your ear and slowly leaving trails down your neck.

He felt you squirm under him, your arms splaying down his back, ushering him closer. Niragi roughly dug his fingers into your skin, knowing for certain you would have bruises later from it. He couldn't help but let his pride show as his wet tongue ran along the side of your neck, lifting his face to press his forehead against yours. He lifted your leg and wrapped it around his waist, lowering himself to grind against you.

Niragi watched as your eyes fluttered against the sensation, your chest rising and falling heavily with your breath. He examined your face carefully, taking in every small involuntary motion you made. His lips came down to linger above yours, exchanging his breath with your own. You caught his eyes in yours as you felt your breath hitch in your throat, Niragi stopping suddenly. You looked at each other carefully, his eyes darting between yours, his tongue slowly wetting his lips.

He cupped the side of your face, his thumb gently caressing your cheek in his hand. You leaned into the warmth, his fingers carefully massaging the back of your head as your hand overlapped his. Niragi dipped his head into your neck, his breath tickling your ear as he gently tugged on the lobe, stopping only to sink his teeth into your neck as his hips gently bucked, a soft moan escaping your lips.

Niragi could feel the irritation as his pants tightened, shoving his hand down to unzip his pants, kicking them off hurriedly as he repositioned himself between you. He stole a quick glance, checking for any sign of discomfort. He leaned in close for a moment, his voice low as he whispered, "... Do you want this?" You could feel your cheeks flush as you slowly nodded, swallowing the lump in your throat.

He stared at you, his eyes searching yours for a moment. "Say it."

"I... I want this, Niragi." You watched as he grinned, quickly pushing his lips into yours hungrily, breaking to travel down your neck, dipping his tongue into your collarbone as your soft breath turned into music to his ears. Niragi couldn't help but smirk as your back arched slightly, reacting to his touch. His hands began wandering down your side as you grasped his bare shoulders, feeling your eyes roll back as Niragi's hips thrust into you. His hand grabbed and dug into your thigh as it explored upward, his fingers pulling at the bikini strap that covered you.

You gasped at another sudden thrust, your eyes meeting Niragi's as he grinned at your reaction. The metal tongue piercing gleamed off the sunlight illuminating the room as he ran his tongue over his teeth. You felt a shiver run down you as he lowered his head into your neck, sucking the skin forcefully, his body weighing on top of you as his hips bucked in rhythm. Your leg pulled him in closer, making him shoot you a surprised look.

Niragi watched you carefully as he untied your bikini, making quick work of your top as well. He leaned back for a moment and stared at you, moving his shirt that still covered you to the side as his hands wandered, gripping your thigh around him tightly. He leaned in, running a hand through his hair quickly to push it back as his lips crashed into you, his tongue swirling around yours. You pushed yourself up against him as your hand wandered down to his briefs, sinking your hand into them.

You heard him groan into your mouth as you stroked his erection, his tongue becoming more forceful. Niragi hurriedly pushed his briefs down and broke away from you, frantically throwing them to the side. He could feel his heart speed up at your touch, grabbing your wrist and pinning it above your head. His free hand reached down to your core, his fingers gently gliding across your entrance. Your body jolted suddenly as two fingers entered you quickly with ease, a moan escaping your throat.

Niragi caught your gaze with his, a grin on his face as he teased you, "Fuck... You're so wet..." He chuckled lowly, planting light kisses across your jawline. Your non-restrained hand grabbed onto his onyx hair, giving it a light tug as his fingers began pumping into you slowly. Niragi savored the sounds emanating from you, taking in every soft whimper you released as his fingers curled into you rhythmically.

"Ni-Niragi..." He looked up as you murmured his name, relishing the way his name spilled from your lips. His rhythm slowly increased as he watched your face carefully, observing every time your breath hitched. He placed his thumb gently on your clit, rubbing small circles as he felt your pulse on his fingertips. Feeling you tense he released your wrist, cupping your cheek in his hand as he pulled his fingers from you, positioning his member at your entrance, taking in the warmth coming from your core. He leaned into you slowly, gently guiding his tip further in carefully as his lips eagerly brushed against yours, releasing a moan into your mouth as he felt himself disappear into you.

The sound you made at that moment drove him near crazy. He clenched the sheets as he sunk himself into you completely, his mind going blank as he inhaled sharply at the feel of you surrounding him. You could feel yourself adjusting around him as he began pacing himself, grabbing his shoulder to steady your body as his pace quickened. He brought his head down to your shoulder to sink his teeth into your skin, making sure to leave an obvious mark for all to see.

Niragi groaned in your ear as he heard your soft moans, trying to stop himself from getting too rough. "Ni-Niragi," you studdered over your own words as you tried to speak, "Th-that feels so... So good," your voice shook as his hips snapped into you, unable to contain his want any longer. Your fingers dug into his shoulder roughly, trying to hold yourself still. His hand grabbed onto your thigh, pressing it against him as his hips bucked.

"Oh, fuck..." He muttered into your ear, his voice low. "You're so fucking perfect (Y/N)," his breath on your ear sent a shiver down your entire body, your insides clenching around him as he thrust himself into you. Niragi pulled back for just a moment, his hips continuing their rhythm as his eyes took in the sight before him.

"I could've had this before," his mind taunted him. His hand wandered down to play with you once more, making light circles on your clit, watching as your back arched in response. Niragi watched as you moaned quietly, your eyes starting to glaze over. He gripped your thigh and lifted it onto his shoulder, planting light kisses up and down your leg as he pumped into you.

Leaning down, he could feel himself starting to lose his rhythm as he met with your lips, his moans melting with your own. You grabbed onto his hair, gently tugging as you felt your abdomen pool with heat. Your name echoed from his lips as he snapped into you roughly, soft grunts releasing into your mouth.

Niragi grabbed hold of the hand in his hair, pinning it above your head as his other tightened on your thigh, his hips sloppily thrusting into you roughly. His eyes wandered in search of yours as you stared into the ceiling above you, the walls growing darker as you could feel yourself falling into your release. He felt your body clench under him as his pace increased, slamming his lips into yours, breaking only to mutter curses mixed with moans into your mouth.

Your nails dug into the skin of his shoulder as you felt yourself come undone beneath him, the fire building finally being released through your body. Niragi watched as your face relaxed, admiring the way your mouth moved when you cried out his name, knowing he was the one that made you like this. His hips slammed into you as he felt himself about to reach his own peak, your soft breaths quickly pushing him over the edge.

His head rolled as he grunted in your ear, "Oh fuck, (Y/N)..." Your legs shook at the continued movement, your vision slowly returning to you. Your eyes wandered up to Niragi above you, his bare chest now slick with a thin layer of sweat. His hips jerked into you roughly as he cursed, his teeth sinking into your shoulder as he groaned, feeling himself burst into you, leaving his final mark.

Your breaths mingled together in the silence, filling the room. Niragi released your wrist, his head leaning to rest on your chest. Your hand stroked his hair, gently weaving in between the strands as his back rose and fell with his breath. He looked up at you slowly, grasping your chin and tilting it down to look at him.

"(Y/N)..."

"Y-yeah, Niragi?"

He stared silently for a moment, licking his lips carefully. His voice was soft and gentle, the opposite of his words. "You're mine. And only mine. Nobody is ever gonna lay a hand on you again... I'll make sure of it."

You swallowed a lump in your throat, unable to look away from his gaze. The words felt more like a threat than a promise, you thought. Seemingly noticing your unease, he lifted himself up off you and cupped your cheek, kissing you roughly. As he pulled back, his thumb ran over your swollen lips, his eyes tracing their outline. Releasing a slight groan as he pulled out of you, Niragi grabbed his briefs, pulled them on, and made his way for the bathroom.

You sat up on the bed, your eyes searching for your top that was discarded earlier. Clothing yourself, you buttoned up Niragi's shirt that still adorned your shoulders. You jumped as you felt a pair of hands wrap around you, quickly realizing who it was when he chuckled.

"Did I scare you?"

Even though you couldn't see Niragi, you could hear his grin. "I didn't hear you..." You felt instant relief as he pulled you into his chest, the warmth seeping through the fabric of his shirt. His scent overtook your senses as you leaned your head back into his neck, his hands creeping under your shirt to rest on your bare skin.

You closed your eyes as you felt his lips against your neck, planting gentle kisses on every spot he marked, almost acting as a physical apology. "I hope it didn't hurt too much," he chuckled. You hummed at his words, trying not to become embarrassed. "I-it was... Good... I liked it," you pursed your lips together, hoping he couldn't see your cheeks flush. You could hear his breath in your ear as he whispered, "Gotta let everyone know who you belong to."

Chishiya tried not to pace in the lobby, his hands firmly in his pockets. He was certain his physical demeanor was on point; cold and distant, unapproachable by most. But mentally, his mind was driving him crazy. He wasn't used to this feeling, whatever it was. He had studied medicine for years and could handle nearly any physical diagnosis. But mental? It was still quite a mystery to him, much to his displeasure. Kuina stood near him, not making eye contact. He could tell she was still upset, another thing that irked him at this particular moment.

Chishiya withheld himself from looking over when he felt eyes piercing into his back, knowing full well who those eyes belonged to. "Niragi," he thought. His mind was overcome with memories of the night prior, his mind finally putting two and two together as he placed this overwhelming feeling, guilt, is what most would call it.

His breath hitched as he heard your voice from behind him, his eyes just barely wandering over to Kuina nearly lunging toward you. He hid his concern as he took notice of the marks and bruises covering your neck and legs. Kuina blocked his sight of you, or perhaps she was blocking your sight of him. He didn't care for it either way.

"Are you alright? What happened? Did..." Kuina's voice grew quiet, though not quite enough for Chishiya not to hear. "Did Niragi do this to you?" He felt his heart skip a beat as he turned his full attention to them, his breath held in his throat, unable to come out. As you opened your mouth to speak, the crowd erupted as Hatter took his place on the balcony. All eyes were on their leader, all eyes except for one.

"The games are upon us again!" Hatter started his speech as normal. Chishiya's eyes wandered over your body worriedly, his final thought from yesterday playing over and over again in his mind, this time accompanied by an afterthought.

"Shit, shit, shit...  This is all my fault."

Chishiya looked to the balcony, trying to maintain his composure. His eyes stopped on Niragi, smugly looking down at him from above. He felt his fingernails dig into his palms as the two held gazes. Niragi's eyes said one thing, "I won."

Bellow selkie au chapter 7

Warning?: the chapter has nudity (but not really detailed)

Chapter 7 face to face

The bathroom door opened, the light shone over yellow, she nervously looked up, still holding her blushing cheeks and still extremely embarrassed from what she just saw. There blue diamond stood, she was holding her still neatly folded coat in front of her and only wearing a towel draped on her shoulder, it was too small to really cover anything. yellow looked away again from embarrassment as blue started to move closer to her, closing the bathroom door to get rid of most of the light in the room, only a small amount light from the cracks in the door was able to escape and give the bedroom any light.

Blue sat on the edge of the bed and looked over to yellow, she carefully placed her coat just under yellows feet, her toes nearly touching it, yellow immediately bent her knees to make sure she didn't touch it, scared it would upset blue and break their new friendship. "Why don't you have your coat on?", yellow asked, trying to ask why she was naked in the most polite way possible, "I'm showing my trust in you", blue replied, shuffling over to yellow on the bed, looking over her, she could tell something was off, she was curled into a ball and refusing to look at her. "With it right next to you, you can take my coat and leave me stuck as a human at anytime, but you won't", she moved a bit closer and lay down, she was now right next to yellow. Yellow looked down to the coat, "o-of course I won't!", she studdered, becoming more flustered as the towel was now barely hanging onto blue's body because of her movements, her long hair covering more than the towel.

"And without my coat I'm more human, so you don't have to worry about me turning into a seal, and we are less different now", blue leaned in even closer to yellow, their faces almost touching, she could hear her panicked breathing, and could even see her nervous, red, sweating face the small amount of light shone on. "What's wrong, yellow? Am I doing something wrong?", blue asked, genuine worry in her voice, shed never seen someone like this before. "n-no!", yellow quickly replied, shaking her head, "it's just, usually, us humans are wearing clothes and right now well...", she awkwardly pointed to the towel that had now fallen off completely, "....you aren't, and that's... awkward for a lot of us". Blue looked over to her towel, now on the floor and then to her coat, "I'm sorry, my only 'clothes' are my coat,without it I feel equal to you, like a human", she apologised, leaning over yellow to get her coat, ther bodies nearly touching, making yellow panic and try her best to play it cool.

"No its ok I understand", yellow said, gently grabbing blue's hand before she could get the coat, "you're trying to bond with me, it must be so hard for you to trust me and you're trying so much, I'll teach you human etiquette later it doesn't matter now",  yellow surprisingly reacted well, in her mind she was panicking, she'd never felt like this before and didn't know what to do or what to say, she was suprised she wasnt shaking when she touched blue.  Blue leaned back and looked away from the coat and focused back on yellow, "I like the human water room", she spoke up, looking over to the bathroom, only now yellow had noticed the lights where still on. "I really thought you'd use the bath to turn into a seal, I was so worried", yellow said, going up to turn the light off and then returning to blue. "And by the way, the correct name is bathroom," she corrected, laying back down next to blue.

"thank you for telling me that, yellow, I hope you can teach me more", blue replied, her voice very soft, she leaned in close again, looking deep into yellow's eyes, yellow looked down to blue's hand, she was trying to casually move it over her's it seemed, yellow gulped but tried to ignore blue trying to touch her, or assume it was just a selkie thing and she didnt mean anything.

Yellow laid down flat and tried to sleep, it was very late now, she could tell. When she closed her eyes and tried to sleep blue suddenly hugged her tightly, it caught her off guard, blues skin felt like nothing she'd ever felt before, she didn't know how to describe it but she liked it, she didn't want blue to stop. she moved to her side slightly and also wrapped her arms around blue, feeling some of her soft hair, they slept like that the whole night.

Steddie Week Day 1: Pining

@steddie-week

part 2

Steve hates when Eddie came into the store. He would just wander around the shelves with no purpose, snarking at the romance movies or looming over the horror section, scaring customers away. And sure, it wasn’t his fault that the people of Hawkins still looked down on Eddie and thought he was guilty when he wasn’t. But it certainly didn’t help that he only shot back their insults and looks, taking every opportunity to make devil horns and flip off passersby. 

The main thing he hates when Eddie came into the store though, was how he could never seem to get anything done. It was either answering questions he didn’t know the answer to about a random movie Eddie wanted to know everything about. Feilding comments from other customers and explaining that, no he can’t ask an innocent man to leave the store. Rearranging movies that Eddie would move around just to mess with Steve, even if the new placement made more sense than before. 

But more importantly, Steve could just not stop himself from staring. It was like his mind was so entranced with the enigma that is Eddie Munson that he could not think of anything else. He couldn’t explain the way his insides knotted up every time Eddie shot a smile or the urge to run his fingers through his hair to make sure it didn’t look out of place. His words would get caught in his throat and sentences became studdered and short. Warmth would rush to his cheeks at the small compliments Eddie would shoot his way and the small wink whenever a cute girl would walk through the door. 

But Steve didn’t want the cute girl. No, he wanted Eddie. 

It was something he recently realized on one of the late nights when he couldn’t stop his mind from wandering. He kept thinking about what it would be like for another person to be there with him so he’d have someone to talk to. Someone to keep his mind from traveling back to the horrors he faced and focus on the present, the good. And he just couldn’t help but find that he wanted that person to be Eddie. 

Eddie, who seems to bring a smile out of Steve no matter what. Stupid joke or not, it was his presence that lightened the room. He made Steve feel safe, feel seen. Made sure he didn’t feel left out when the group went off on tangents he couldn’t follow or didn’t notice that he fell a step behind. Always explaining things Steve didn’t understand without any complaint and walked beside Steve so he’d have someone to talk to. It made Steve’s heart feel full. 

So when Eddie walked into the store like he did today, it filled Steve with unimaginable want. Because he wanted to just stroll over to Eddie and wrap his arms around the other man, press a kiss to his cheek and say hello. Tell him how happy he is to see him and how much his heart fills when he does so little as smile. 

But Steve can’t. This town wouldn’t let him. They wouldn’t let him show the love he could have for the other man because they view it as wrong. How could anyone could tell a person who feels this much that their love was wrong, Steve will never know. Because he can’t help but think that this is the most right feeling Steve has ever had. 

He wishes he could tell Eddie how he felt. That there wasn’t the fear in the back of his head that it would end all that they had. That Eddie would be disgusted and tell him to leave. Punch him in the face and push him away with words that stabbed Steve’s heart. 

Steve can’t risk that. He would never lose the light that Eddie brings to his life. So he sits and watches as Eddie pans over the movies in the store, laughing at the stupid cover art and bringing it over to show Steve. Smile softly to himself and laugh even though he’s seen them a million times. Because it would fuel the delusions Steve would make for himself at night, wishing that these moments would be his life forever.

Eddie walks over and slams a copy of ‘Children of the Corn’ on the counter. “Stevie,” he grins. “Check this out for me will ya?”

“Sure,” he presses a few buttons on the keyboard and waives the late return banner that pops up. “You really have to bring back the other tapes you have out. Can’t keep waiving the policy.”

“Not even for little ole’ me,” Eddie pouts. 

Steve clears his throat, trying to avert his eyes from the other man’s lip. “Not if I want to keep my job, no.”

Eddie groans. “Fine.” He perks up like a literal lightbulb went off above his head. “Why don’t you come over tonight and then you can grab them all. Would help us both out.”

“How is that helping us both out?”

“You get the tapes back and therefore, don’t get fired. And I get to spend some time with you. It’s a win-win. I haven’t seen you much in the past few weeks”

A lump forms in Steve’s throat. “Sorry, I’ve been … busy.” 

“Yeah, busy avoiding me. Every time I ask you to hang out you suddenly have something pop up. And don’t say they were all true, I was literally with Dustin the one time you claimed you had to pick him up.” Eddie looks at him with big, sorrowful eyes. “Did I do something?”

Steve sighs, wishing that he could tell Eddie the real reason that he’s been avoiding him. “No, it’s just been a rough couple of weeks.”

“More the reason you should come over tonight then. Then I can cheer you up with my Munson charm.”

He pains through a smile, knowing that the night would probably only make him feel worse, but can’t find himself wanting to say no either. He’s missed Eddie too, despite needing the space to get over the longing in his chest. “Sure, I’ll come over.”

Eddie slaps his ringed hand on the counter, making Steve jump. “Then it’s a date. See you tonight, Stevie,” he teases as he exits the door. 

Steve feels warmth flood his face, grateful that Eddie left when he did so he didn’t see. Dread fills his stomach knowing the hurt that will come from wishing everything he wants would come true. 

But Eddie was right, being around him always seem to cheer Steve up, even if only for a little while.

Wings of Fire: Sunrises towards a new day - part 1 (sorry if the writing sounds off. This is kinda the first big thing I’ve really written. Let me know how I can improve)

“Hello?... I was told to come here by that Nightwing to get set up here” Sunrise said as she stepped into the room. looking around, she spots a bright yellow Sandwing managing some scrolls. The Sandwing perks up and looks away from the shelf “Oh hello there. Names Sunny! Yeah, I help set up new students. What’s your name?”

A little put off by the Sandwing’s inthusiasum. She had a feeling she’s seen her before, but she couldn’t put her claw on it. “Sunrise…” she said after a brief moment, not wanting to give more information than she had to.

“Ok! Hang on a second while I find your information. Sunny said as she started looking through a stack of scrolls. She darts around the room, rumaging through various piles of scrolls. “Sunrise… Sunrise… Sunrise… Sunri- aha here we go; found it” Sunny loudly exclaimed as she pulled a scroll from a shelf, which startled Sunrise. Sunny unraveled the scroll and began reading it. “Let's see here. Name Sunrise. Age 7. Parents Th-” Sunny sudenly stopped read and turned twards Sunrise with a massive grin on her face. She rushes twards Sunrise and held up the scroll “It says your adoped mother is Queen Thorn! Is that true?!” Sunny asked in exitment.

Sunrise studdered and mumbled. She wasn’t sure how to respond; She defidently would have said yes if she was asked just two years ago. But with everything that was going on, she wasnt sure how to respond. Eventually she regained her composure and smuggly repiles “Of corse it is. Who else would it be” 

“Oh my god! Does that mean we’re siblings!? Sunny exclaimed. And just like that what confidence Sunrise had quickly came crashing down. She had no idea how to respond to that. “What do you mean by that?”

“I'm Queen Thorn’s daughter too! I had no idea I had any siblings!” Sunny cheered as she grabbed Sunrise’s hands.

The pieces started coming together. Now she realised where she’s seen her. Her face quickly changed from suprise, to anger, and finally smug “Oh I though I recognised you. I saw you around the palace. It's a pleasure to finaly meet you” Sunrise grit her teeth at that last sentence. She started circling around Sunny eyed her up and down. They did look very similer, If you didnt know who they were you’d probably assume they were related. They both where around the same size. Though Sunrise wasnt done growing so that would probably change. They both had the same scale colour mutation of bright yellow, which was very rare amoung Sandwings. Though Sunrise’s face and body was covered in scars, mostly viper bite marks. Sunrise’s eyes went all the way down her body to Sunny’s tail…and stopped. She stared at what she saw. Or rather, what she didn’t see. “What happened to your tail?” she said smuggly. She didnt really phrase it like a question, it was more so retorical.

“You mean my tail? Nothings wrong with it, I was just born like this” Sunny said cheerfully. Sunrise didnt detect any sadness what so ever from that statement, which she found suprising. Either she was she truly had no grips about it, or she was incredibly good at hiding it. They both sat in scilence for around 5 seconds before Sunrise spoke up. She had an idea to put this Sandwing in her place. “Wow”

“Whats up?” Sunny asked, puzzled. She took the bait, exactly like Sunrise expected her to.

Sunrise spoke in the most smug tone she could muster as she started circling around Sunny “Oh nothing… It’s just… I donno… I guess I was expecting something else from Thorn’s biological daughter.”

“What do you mean?” Sunny asks

“Well I was expecting Thorn’s daughter to embody her characteristics. Like, strength, ferceness, natural leadership skills, tactical, those kinds of things. You know, like me… Now I'm gonna say this in the nicest was possible, but this…” she stops and gestures twards sunny “this isnt that” “Now if you excuse me, i'm gonna give myself a tour of this place” Sunrise remarks as she begins to walk out

“Oh. y-yeah thats fine. Just make sure you find out what your winglet is” Sunny studdered 

As Sunrise was about to leave, she stopped and look back at Sunny “Oh and by the way, whats that Nightwing teacher’s name?”

“Starflight…”

“Thanks” Sunrise blushed as Sunny said his name. She planned on introducing herself to him after this. “See you ‘round school, Sis” Sunrise said as she left the room. Leaving Sunny alone.

Golden heart (SATBK au fic) chapter 5

I had to do a bit of retconning and mashing together with Galahad considering his cannon origins. For context now, he is merged with Galahaut (because they’re names are similar). Also his story is fucking hilarious. More questions and answers are to come, so hold on and wait!

Chapter1 Chapter4 Chapter6

Chapter 5- stories untold

“WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!” Sonic yelped as he desperately tried to stop himself. His shoes cried out loudly against the wooden floor, straining against the friction he was putting on them.

His efforts were useless as his momentum carried him into the two knights, and the two knights right into the king. 

They crashed onto the hardwood and Sonic launched off to face plant onto the floor a foot or two away. Lancelot sprung onto his feet and darted his attention to the speedy hedgehog. Galahad helped the king up, apologizing profusely to him. Sonic got himself onto his feet, his face stung from the fall, and his shoes smelt of burnt rubber again from his failed attempt at removing his momentum.

“What is the meaning of this…?” Blue groaned as he relaxed his quills.

“I’m so sorry Sire!” Galahad apologized. “We were-“

“We were trying to catch this intruder, who thought he could just walk right into castle grounds!” Lancelot interrupted and pointed at Sonic who was rubbing the pain off of his face.

The kings droopy lids fell more as he became unimpressed. “This is what I was hearing?”

“Y-you heard us Sire?” Galahad asked.

“Of course I did!” Blue dusted off his cape. “You two are the loudest ones in this castle! Apart from him.” He pointed to Sonic.

Lancelot looked at the king, puzzled and a bit nervously. “Y-You…. Know him, Sire?”

“Of course I do! I was the first one to even SEE him! He flew out of a book for Gaias sake!” He folded his hands behind his back. “As well, seeing a younger version of yourself, you know a thing or two about that kind of guest.”

“Wait…. He was telling the truth about being from a different world?!” Galahad said in disbelief.

“Are you serious right now? He even LOOKS like me from 17 years ago! Are you brain dead?”

“Okay, no need to insult them, your highness…” Sonic said sheepishly.

“I…… um…” Lancelot studdered and blushed in shame.

“I don’t want to hear it!” Blue said flatly. “Please, just go back to what you were doing. I don’t want to hear anything more from you two today.”

The knights bowed their heads. “Yes Sire. Sorry Sire.” Lancelot apologized. The two turned tail and left without another word, leaving sonic and the king in the silent room.

“Uh…. We’ll, that was sure…. Something…” Sonic fidgeted with his legs. “Think you were a little to hard on them?”

“I thought I told you to not let anyone see you?” Blue said, not looking at Sonic.

“Yeah, sorry. I didn’t realize they were nearby...”

“It’s fine.” Blue sighed. “I should have told them about you from the start. They’re not exactly the brightest at discerning who is truly a threat or not. He turned and grinned at him.

“Eh, I wouldn’t discourage their abilities too easily.” Sonic walked over to the king. “Sometimes they’re just confused or misled. Not the first time I tussled with the likes of them before either.”

“Really?” Blue raised a brow.

“Yeah. With Shadow, or who you recognize as Lancelot, he was a BIG jerk! He was working with Dr. Eggman, who is like my number one enemy at this point. Uh, do you have a Dr. Eggman? Never mind- Shadow was working with him, and he wanted to destroy the world because of some… uh- things I don’t want to talk about without his permission, it’s still a sore topic to him.” 

Sonic rubbed the back of his neck. “But let’s just say that Humanity wronged him so he wanted revenge. He snapped out of that and helped me save the world though. I thought he was dead after, but nope. He’s alive and as grouchy as always, haha!”

“Huh, that’s… something.” Blue was intrigued by the story Sonic told. His duel with Lancelot 17 years ago was somewhat different to what Sonic had said about him and Shadow. It seemed that they were alike, but different in ways too. Perhaps it was the age difference.

“What about Galahad? Or, your version of him?” Blue said, wanting to hear more of the hedgehog.

“Oh, that would be Silver! My mind is kinda all over the place about him. I feel like I’ve met him before when I did.” Sonic put a hand to his head as he tried to get his mind straight. “I met him as I was trying to stop this guy who was posing as Dr. Eggman. The guy said he needed to get to him first, so I challenged him to a race! First one to get to the poser wins! And he put up a decent challenge! But even after I won, the guy still had a very sour attitude, I didn't know what his deal was till he finally told me that that wasn’t Eggman.”

“Who was he?” Blue asked.

“Eh, some guy I tussled with a while ago. He calls himself ‘Eggman Nega’.”

“Are you serious?” Blue tried to hold in his laughter.

“I’m serious! The guy even said he HATED Eggman! Yet called himself ‘Eggman Nega’ and then POSES as him? I can’t believe it myself, and I SAW it!”

Blue laughed loudly in response. The hedgehog's stories were amusing, he had to admit.

“What about you?” Sonic asked. “I bet you have a TON of great stories locked up in the Ol noggin, huh?”

The king's laugh faltered, his smile wavering. He shook his head and glanced away. “You wouldn’t want to hear any of my stories.”

“What?! Of course I do! And if you’re like me, I bet they’ll all be ACTION PACKED!”

“Yes…. And they’re all the same. Some threat comes and I go to take it down…. That’s how it always has been…”

“Yeah, but… I do that stuff too! Like every month I’m out beating some bad guy! Sure, it’s the same, but I love it! Heck, I love it almost as much as I love chillidogs!”

“You still need to tell me what a chillidog is...”

“What I’m saying is that, it doesn’t matter if the plotline is the same. The best kind of adventure is the high stakes! The adrenaline! The friends you make along the way! Life is fun if you make it fun! At least… that’s what I figure!”

Sonic smiled at the king, and the king hid his face in his cape. His tired eyes glanced down at the floor. He was silent. Again.

Sonics smile faded. “….. Hey, if you don’t want to tell me about your adventures, fine. But why not tell me about Lancelot and Galahad? I told you about Shadow and Silver, I want to know about these guys.”

Blue stood and thought for a second. “…. Okay. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt.”

Sonic smiled again and wagged his tail, he was always up for a good story. He might’ve been a bit too excited as the king smiled and rolled his eyes, sighing at the young hedgehog.

“You’re going to have to walk with me though, I have things to do.”

“Like what? Sighting and sulking around the castle?” Sonic teased.

“Do you want to hear the story or not?” Blue said as he began walking.

“Sorry!” Sonic hopped from foot to foot to catch up with the king. He gracefully stuck out a hand. “You may proceed with your story!”

Blue chuckled. “Well, Lancelot wasn’t special. It was just after I-...” he stopped himself from saying it. That name… that sword. It stung his throat to even think of it. He inhaled. “He had challenged me to a duel and I accepted. He put up a good fight, the best fighter on the team next to Gawain.” 

He shut his eyes. “I couldn’t deal the final blow to him. It wasn’t right. To kill someone just because they failed…”

“Yeah, I get that.” Sonic said. “Good or bad, everyone should deserve a second chance. No one should die just because they were bad one time.”

“…. What if they’re bad all the time?” Blue asked.

Sonic rubbed his arm. “Well… I know that deep down… even if every time they’ve done the worst things, they’re can be a smidge of kindness inside of them. I’ve seen it. That’s why that no matter what happens, I get up and fight. For myself and for everyone who deserves the same freedom as me.”

Sonic smiled softly. His words were genuine, he’s seen people turn around firsthand, and those people could not be happier for meeting him. Every single one of his adventures, he has helped someone. Human or animal, good or bad. The fact that he could have made someone better, that’s what kept him going.

A pit formed in the kings stomach. He agreed with everything he said, and it made him feel awful. The undoubtful kindness that Sonic had was only matched by the king himself. Kindness that Blue regretted ever believing in. And hate he wished he never have used.

“Sorry, I’m rambling aren’t I?” Sonic rubbed the bottom of his nose. “You can continue your story.”

“… I…” Blue sighed. “I don’t have much else to say for Lancelot.”

“Well, what about Galahad?” Sonic asked.

Blue paused to think, then chuckled. “His story is actually fairly funny.”

“Then tell it! Come on man!” Sonic bounced a bit before stopping himself. “Uh- sorry, I mean, your highness…. Does that work?”

Blue crossed his arms and sighed. “Sir. Galahad was a great knight, beloved by many. He would have been a great king, but he refused a crown, at least till he conquered my kingdom, he had said. At the time he had thought I was the fake King Arthur, an illusion created by the head wizard merlina.” 

The king ran a hand through his quills. “I’ll tell that story another time. I fought Galahad head on, he’s an excellent fighter, especially for how young he is.” He turned to Sonic. “He’s the youngest out of all the knights.”

Sonics eyes widened with shock. “Really? Huh. Seems to be having a lot going for him.”

Blue nodded. “He actually almost took me out. He managed to take… the sword out of my hand.” He strained those last words out his throat. “I would’ve been dead if Lancelot hadn’t stepped in and blocked the blow. They matched each other almost perfectly, it was like they were in cynic with each other.”

“Heh, kinda like they were related or something?” Sonic added in with a smirk.

The king looked at sonic and cringed at his comment. It gave sonic a moment to think. “… what?” Sonic said.

The king cleared his throat. “Nothing… just…” he inhaled and folded his hands behind his back. “Galahad forfeited the fight. He walked up to me and kneeled. He said that he wanted to join my side…” he put a hand over his mouth to hide a smirk, but it came through with his speech. “…. To be able to fight alongside Lancelot.” The king choked a chuckle. “He is utterly smitten about him... because of his ‘swordsmanship’. “

Sonic raised a brow at the kings amusement over galahad. Why was it so funny? It took him a little bit longer than it should have before the realization hit him like a punch from knuckles.

“ARE YOU SERIOUS?!” Sonic yelled.

The king wheezed and put his hands on his knees. “YEAH!”

“Oh my gaia…. This is something I never thought I’d think of…”

“I swear, EVERY TIME Lancelot comes into the room, Galahad is head over heels for him! Face as red as Gawain’s dreads!” The king continued to laugh.

“Damn, I didn’t think Silver would be into the ‘tall dark and handsome’ type! I guess ‘handsome’ IS in the title!”

The king choked and coughed, his laughter made his chest and throat sting. He couldn’t hold it as long as he used to.

“Are you okay?” Sonic asked.

Blue coughed. “Yeah, don’t worry about it. Just something that comes with age I guess.”

“I think you’re only like 17 years older than me.” Sonic pointed out.

“Still makes me older than you!” 

The king instinctively ruffled Sonics head like he used to with Miles. He lifted his hand up and they both froze. Sonic looked up at the king, whose face was red with embarrassment. He had only been patted on the head a few times before, but each time felt a little weird. It was usually by someone who did it to disregard the hedgehog's abilities, or Tails who just wanted to return after he had patted the little foxes head. 

This felt different, is this how Tails felt? All those times he patted his brothers head? This feeling was… good. It made him feel loved, a warm feeling in his chest that, sure, he had felt to some extent, but not like this. Usually that warm feeling was coated in a layer of ‘being the big brother’. But now he wasn’t the big brother, not here. He was the youngest out of everyone, even Miles was older than him. He would've feel bittersweet about it, but he strangely didn’t. Maybe he needed something like that for a while now.

The king blushed in embarrassment at his instincts. Patting this kid like he did to Miles. He didn’t know what to think, he felt conflicted in his emotions. Embarrassed? Happy? Upset? Proud? Everything was to much for him. What was he to do? What can he say? What should he say?

Blue stammered. “I…. Have some things to do. You can go around and… um… introduce yourself to the other knights… if you meet them…” 

Before the blue hedgehog could say anything, the king had already hurried out of view. “I….. alright.” Sonic said. He didn’t have the chance to ask him about something he had planned after dinner…. Maybe it was better to keep it a secret till then. 

Sonic sighed and turned to the other direction, bumping face first into a new figure. He stumbled back. “Ah! Sorry!” He looked up at who he ran into.

A tall purple cat stood before him. Blaze the cat, or we’ll, whoever was taking her place. She strangely only wore her visor, nothing else to accompany it. Sonic thought back to Miles' comments from earlier in the day.

“So uh, you must be… Sir. Percival, huh?” Sonic said. He stuck out a hand to her and smiled. “Nice to finally meet you!”

Percival didn’t react, instead she stared at the blue hedgehog and then his hand. Her visor obscured her face and any expression she might’ve been making.

“It’s nice to meet you to.” She bowed before walking past him without another word. Sonic was used to the slightly cold exterior that Blaze had given him on occasion, she liked to keep to herself. But this was on the verge of how cold Shadow could be.

“Uh, okay… nice chat…” Sonic said. “What is up with the people here?” He talked to himself as he continued moving. “I hope I can figure out why everyone is so weird. I hate being out of the loop.”

[xo-greta-ox]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Jimmy has been made fun of about his studder? And I think that that is actually kinda nice. Like he's disabled and his friends just wait for him to finish even if they can already tell what the word is
