“Tone it down, dadd—oh…”

If only these people knew what’s with Miyeon right now—well, it doesn’t matter because you’re the only one who’ll get to know what lies beneath her.

It’s not even surprising and more than a being less of an expectation—Miyeon’s as just as naughty as you remember and it’s within your accord to punish her or make her life a living hell.

“You show up like this, then you’ll face the consequences.” You grit your teeth as every word is villainous, willing to break her demeanor into a whimpering mess until she can’t contain it anymore. You play with the buttons on the remote as clenched her thighs from time to time, feeling such rage of pleasure that’s becoming too much but you didn’t care—you will make her learn a lesson, no matter if it’s going to be just exclusively the both of you or in a public restaurant and guess what, it’s only getting started.

“P-Please, daddy—hngg, ahh—no, please t-tone it down…”

You scowl at her in aims to intimidate her, making her feel a bit of regret yet at the same time, she’s loving this as much as you do but Miyeon knows to herself that she doesn’t want to end up in a filthy predicament in a public place.

“You did this to yourself, Miyeon—” You can hear small whimpers as the vibration gets worse with your own control, as with that, she’s just fighting the urge to erotically moan as she’s feeling too much pleasure right now that can’t eat her food right. “—then deal with it.”

You could sense how she’s getting drenched right now and how needy she is because of your actions—you like the sight of this, her pretty, submissive face begging for you to stop is just a sight to behold and to be treasured. Of course, you won’t give her even an ounce of mercy as her pleas just fuels the fire inside you to further tease her.

And so, you did.

Her hands shiver once you’ve increased the intensity of the toy shoved up in her ass, and with that, she can’t fight the feeling of such euphoric essence and let out almost-inaudible moans that could possibly turn on any other men that could lie an ear to hear it. With her iron wall still standing strong, she manages to still fight it yet it’s impossible to ignore the gratification it gives her—it’s clear that she’ll soon collapse and you’ll like to make it evident, probably leaving a mark of her own juices onto the restaurant’s sofa as you smirk while getting such spoonful of your food because of your evil plan.

You won’t give her some time to breathe as you play within little-to-no vibrations up the maximum one at random intervals and with that, it’s all converging to what you had in plan as Miyeon lets out such ragged breaths with the pleasure running down her veins. With her begs for you, you absolutely dismissed any chance of being merciful to this greedy slut—you will always learn your lesson for not falling for her tricks anymore, and let her taste her own medicine.

You’ll live her up to that epitome of an oxymoron—make her life miserable yet pleasurable, at the same time.

“Excuse me, waiter—can you please come here for a second?” You then call the gentleman just feet away from you as you want something that will satisfy your needs and probably, even Miyeon’s. You then reach for the menu beside you as your eyes scout all over the beautiful pictures of food and labels, deciding on what dessert you may want to call this a day. “Can I get uhm… your signature chocolate cake, just a single slice and oh, what’s yours, Miyeon?”

Of course, you’ll make the pleasure-ridden girl fight for her dignity for her own chances of survival and to further test her, when she’s ordering, you’ve set the vibration meter to the maximum as it goes well according to plain—Miyeon herself is visibly struggling but manages to pounce her way through her struggles, her demeanor full of sophistication and class (maybe add a little stutters but didn’t do the trick) as the waiter didn’t even suspect of anything that may feel off. As soon as the waiter said that he will be back for your orders, Miyeon’s breath of relief can be seen evident as she manages to battle with the pleasure that can ruin everything, glaring at you because of it.

“Daddy—w-why when I’m o-ordering—hng, just why?”

“Don’t you like the risk, Miyeon?” You bat out such venom-laced words, your tone sinister as you intimidate her with your own control. “Like I said earlier, you’ve got yourself into this now bear with it.”

You then continued to tease, marking her to be still on the verge of letting her profanities be released from its concealment and you will make her punished for this.

It’s only getting started and this will be such an interesting bit if she’ll manage to stay sturdy with her faulty demeanor…

---

“B-But why at the r-restaurant, daddy? I was on the verge of cumming too, but just why??”

There she goes with her own frustrated remarks—well, just so you know that you expected this long ago, knowing how your teases earlier can make her feisty because she’s on the verge of a possible predicament, which you may find hilarious.

Just for context, Miyeon love going out with you with an added twist, making it kinkier for herself and you, knowing that she trusts you, decided for you to control the buttplug inside her in times where it’ll be safe and you know you’re not a merciful guy when bestowed a tool for punishment. Well, maybe she wouldn’t take this chance again as you took it for granted but here’s the thing—you’re always in control and things go onto your own accord and you’re just utilizing and testing her for your amusement and her torment.

Of course, deep inside her, she’s not tormented at all and rather even loved the way you played with her, dangling off to the edge of the cliff, affording risks that would’ve gone wrong if speculated but the both of you didn’t, so with the given conclusion, it was just right to do such things for both delighted emotions.

“Don’t lie to me—you loved this shit, Miyeon, you always do.”  You snap her into the reality of things, making her eyes open to swerve out to the lane of hypocrisy and make her face that she loved this—you can see it in her, those glowing orbs filled with lust and temptation, it’s all in her.

“I did but—not t-there, daddy! What if the waiter suspected something?” No one suspected anything, not even a single hint of evidence was seen.

“What if someone found out about this and made fun of me?” Chances are slim to none about that; there’s no way on earth that they’ll know Miyeon has a vibrating buttplug up in her ass.

“What if they smelled something off on the couch?” Maybe they may but it wouldn’t be obvious, and there’s nothing they can do about it as it already happens—nonetheless, they won’t even speculate a thing.

Maybe it’s just Miyeon becoming embarrassed and overthinking things that shouldn’t be—you know how uneasy and how these things can’t easily brush off her mind. Reassuring her, you told her that legitimately, nothing is left behind and there’s no way she should be embarrassed, but rather find it rather an opportunity to test her will and her mental strength to endure her own idea.

“Now you made me really horny, daddy—then do something about it…”

You sigh deeply, knowing the inevitable will soon come for another filthy climax between the both of you yet of course, you need to tame her down to the passenger seat as you have business of keeping eyes and your attention averted all towards the road and you’ll sure make her needs completely fulfilled.

“When we get home, Miyeon. I’m going to fucking ruin that tight hole of yours and of course, you.”

---

When the night settles, everything falls dark, onto the lustful abyss of no-return and the both of you would absolutely indulge onto your deepest desires, no matter what may happen. Maybe, no one can stop the both of you unless yourselves and to further seal the debauchery, the both of you settled onto your deepest, lustful hunger between both parties, lips clashing together like you’ve been deprived of each other’s tastes for epochs.

“You definitely improved, Miyeon…”

“Learned from the best.” Miyeon smiles at you, feeling proud with what you’ve created her to be as you further indulge onto the kiss again, locking tongues and dominating each other with aims for the other to fall in submissive yet that won’t you—it’ll be Miyeon. Soon enough, oxygen will be the ones to be blamed as you pull yourself out of the embrace of her soft, luscious lips and with the tension in the air rising until it’s damned to be in that elevation of lust. Miyeon, with her patience growing low, proposes her long-awaited needs for you as you took this as her vulnerable spot as everytime she pleads for something, she ends up falling submissive and you’ll do that again for like, a hundredth time. With the prey latching onto the trap of its feral predator, you caught it and seized that opportunity as didn’t even bother escaping but rather, submerging onto her needs.

“You want that, Miyeon?” She yelps with your proactive attempts to further make her succumb onto the pleasure, playing with the controls of the remote as her thighs quiver as soon as it vibrates around her prostate. “Now strip for me, Miyeon—better do it quickly since you’ve made the feeling mutual since the beginning.” And she would be glad to start you off with her to blame as the first one. No hesitation can be seen from her face as she strips her clothing whilst visibly struggling due to the intense gratification coursing down her veins caused by the vibrating buttplug that’s up in her ass.

It didn’t really take that long to undress herself because of how easy it can be undone and how skilled she is, fulfilling your needs of a sight of her perfect, impeccable body. You’re not going to lie, that outfit of Miyeon is simply elegant and simple that you don’t want her to strip it away but it must be done, knowing how it’s way better when those are on the floor, and her scrumptious, naked body is all on your sight. With her last defense down on her body, your eyes lit as you’re allured with the incredible sight of her tight body—her perky breasts, slender waist, breedable hips, supple butt and as the cherry on top, her succulent, dripping pussy—and swiftly approached her, before grabbing her wrists and pinned her down to the bed with not much effort because of your strength.

“You wanted this so bad, hm, Miyeon?” Your fingers then trace towards the porcelain skin of her body, up to neck then down to her nether regions in which she can’t help but let out such sultry moans as the pleasure is starting to get more intense because of your actions. 

Again, you’re a man of your word—not merciful; selfish with your own needs and what comply with those? To stimulate her further than what she can take and you’ll let her achieve that in no time.

Well, there’s already that mind-boggling headstart with the buttplug’s constant vibrations that sends multiple magnitudes of pleasure throughout her body and with your hands constantly caressing and fondling what skin you may find to further send her your regards of affections, she can’t help but just submit onto your control and continues to voice out the intense feeling of gratification.

“Oh—ohh, r-right there, daddy—ahh, t-that feels so g-good!” Miyeon mewls in pleasure as you continue swiping your fingers onto her clit and fondling her perky breasts, aiming for her to reach an incredible sensation of delight even without a deep penetration. Miyeon knows how your fingers can make her cum inevitably hard and you’re probably on the right track with that—you know deep inside that she likes it so much but you won’t get her into that high that easily.

Now, coursing your way onto the delectable treat that no dessert can’t top off, you latch your lips onto those succulent pussy of hers and gave it multiple pecks before letting your tongue do the action, the final enemy raging its way onto nearing Miyeon’s high and even though she wants to fight the urge, she can’t as there’s too much that’s happening that she can’t think straight—all she can do is moan and call out your name, too drowned in the sea of pleasure with no aims of going back up.

The inevitable mellifluous nectar runs down like rivulets onto your tongue, lapping every drop and savoring it as you hum insatisfaction, further stimulating her as you get onto the remote again and play with the controls of the buttplug. You can hear the constant buzzing sound of it as you voraciously eat Miyeon and it further adds to the filthy essence the both of you are exuding, as well as Miyeon’s angelic cacophony of moans. It repeats all in a cycle: caress her waist, lap your tongue against her lower lips, stimulate her clit with fingers, play with the controls, and so on until she becomes a whimpering mess. Her juices constantly flow freely down your mouth, your chin and some of the ungrateful ones messing up the bed sheets and the sullied sight of this while eating her out should be treasured, unlocking another filthy memory.

Of course, this would be her Achilles’ heel—your tongue, that pink-fleshed culprit is the bane of her tough will as it always sends her defenses crumbling down into a state of complete eradication, leaving her vulnerable for more tricks up your sleeve.

And just like that, in less than approximately four minutes—maybe it’s just your gut feeling knowing the nigh-accuracy of the time—she’s going to be achieve one of her long-awaited highs after being edged by you for so long as she continues to voice out how near she is.

“Oh n-no—I’m n-not gonna hold on for so l-long!” Or will she?

It’s within your own accord, your own regulations—no needs will be attended first unless it’s you; you’re to only one who gets to an orgasmic trance first before Miyeon, and that, she would’ve known that before she clouded her mind with pleasure (saying if she can even think straight because of the utmost gratification).

“Daddy!! Why’d y-you stop??” Miyeon whines, responsively because of your actions ceased to deny her high, which made her a little frustrated because of an enormous spike suddenly meeting the trenches of the lowest points possible. You smirk in delight because of your sinister advances, turning off the vibration and pulling your tongue and your mouth out of her sweetness and this, is just the beginning of the show you’re directing—of course you’re the director, the obvious control over her is a strong evidence, piece beautifully for the best, erotic output.

“It’s time for the main event, Miyeon, that’s why.” You rose up from your previous kneeling position as you quickly stripped your clothing, wanting to be equally as naked as the beautiful goddess in front of you. It didn’t take that long for your clothes to be deemed useless on the floor as you fondled her perky breasts, letting out another series of angelic moans that will make any man submerge onto their needs and to totally ruin the girl in front of them.

Well, you’re on the verge of that, and you’ll make this worth both of your time.

 “You know how badly you made daddy horny, right?” Miyeon nods as she looks at your eyes, endeared by the affection you’ve bestowed on her as her eyes glint with lust and anticipation, fully-invested into what you may have in store for her. Her hands immediately coursed its way onto your muscular arms, giving herself a leverage for the pleasure she’s been fighting since the beginning and now with your rock-hard shaft finally adding to the play, it’s time to make this a tale for more years to come.

Well, yes, in that context because you’ll treasure this moment until the end of time, because every session with Miyeon is just peak-class and ecstasy. Your cock then runs onto her lower lips, teasing it as well as setting the buttplug onto a moderate vibration, aiming to fully stimulate her before the main event. Growing yourself impatient as your needs are becoming too much for you to bear, you won’t help yourself but sink into your lustful desires.

“Then you’ll get what you want, Miyeon…” You didn’t give her some time to comprehend what’s happening and further lock onto the lustful fate of yours, plunging your entire length deep inside her and immediately picking up a moderate pace for the both of you to savor and relish. She cries in your own control over her, being too stimulated with your masterclass as everything is just overflowing her needs—the constant fondling of her mounds, your lips latching onto her neck and collarbones from time to time, the buttplug vibrating to massage her prostate and further turn her on and the constant ramming of your length inside her, hitting every spot that it made her almost scream every time your head hits her womb. 

This almost feels like a fever dream and somehow, way more enchanting than your past sessions—maybe it’s because of her added quality of moans, voiced by the toy that she has up her ass since earlier and the sight of her erotic, lewd face making such expressions of lust makes everything go higher than your expectations. You won’t dare to complain but rather, indulge onto a better pace as you grip her hips harshly, further pounding her into the mattress with a newly profound pace that’s maybe able to break the speed you’re hips was expecting to muster—such breakneck velocity was caused by your own need to sully her, and you would to end her up into that kind of a mess, a disheveled, ruined mess of a goddess.

Also, it’s always such a pleasurable and an addicting act to be inside Miyeon of all times, disregarding such intimate and anticipating foreplay because of her utter tightness that makes you love her even more. The way those velvety walls clench around your rapidly-thrusting shaft is such an elevating experience of delight and lust that you can’t ask for more, and rather, you’d love to make it frequent. Frequency is an understatement, because it has been always the case in every thrust you do but you wanted more, so, you gave her barrages of spanks as every time you do it, you can feel her walls inevitably clenching and making the session hotter and maybe even more pleasurable to be true.

“Fuck m-me harder—ahh, daddy—ohh, please!!”

“Of course I will, Miyeon—” You grip her hips like it’s about to get bruised as you lean down closer towards her ear, and whisper, “—I’m going to fill up this slutty pussy, up to the hilt.”

Given your words of fulfillment, you double the efforts your hips can maintain and fucked her like an animal, and like how she deserves it. Of course, your hips won’t be the ones only doing the work to stimulate her, as you set the maximum vibration of the buttplug as well as your hands caressing every inch of her body as much as possible. Her senses are now at her all-time high, having the most gratification she’ve felt all throughout the year and it’s just enchanting to feel how everything may seem surreal but it isn’t—it may elevate more than reality itself but everything is real, and with all of that pleasure coursing down her veins, the inevitable wouldn’t take long to introduce itself.

“I’m s-so close, daddy—gahh, please l-let me cum, please! Oh, please, dadd—oh fuck, please!” Constant pleads can be heard ringing around your ear the further you fuck her into oblivion. Now just being able to utter the same words and phrases as your cock made her thinking limited because of being clouded with sex, you wouldn’t want to hear her redundant pleas and would rather fulfill her needs and to make her a whimpering mess.

“You really want to cum on my cock, Miyeon?” A simple question, but bound to break such barriers of hesitance and can portrays thousands of emotions of lust and without even thinking about it, Miyeon nodded at you as she continues to repetitively moan in need and with her juices constantly leaking out on you like a broken faucet, you know it’s time for her anticipated orgasm. “Then cum on my cock, you gorgeous slut—”

And she did, instantly. Her face exudes such epitome of lust and eroticism that you can’t define the beauty beneath it—it’s just the paramount of it as she’s in pure ecstasy, and maybe even you. You pull out of her tightness as she sprays her treasured nectar all over the vicinity: your cock, your pelvis, onto the bed sheets and some, landing onto the dark, marble floor. When she’s still on her high, you brush your cockhead onto her pulsating lips as every inch was blessed by her juices and once her orgasm has subsided, Miyeon herself insisted to even finish it all inside her, to the point where nothing will be wasted and can’t go back, only indulge yourself into the filthiness that the both of you dived into.

“Fuck m-me hard, d-daddy—please, fuck me hard—oh god, fuck!!”

She doesn’t need to tell you about your harshness and your rapid pace as you read her mind and immediately, does so as you repeatedly gave the fastest thrusts your hips can muster, wrecking and ruining her tight cunt like you have something to prove her—you’ve already proved yourself to her ages ago, and maybe, this will just another rough treatment of pounding her until she can only think about you and your throbbing length.

Knowing that the inevitable will soon come on your side as you can feel it running down your loins, the familiar tingle signaling the near coming of your orgasm and it wouldn’t take long before you submerge onto it. Wanting Miyeon to achieve her high again—she’s also getting close because of too much stimulation because of your actions and the constant pulsations, clenching and her utter wetness are such evidences to know how near she is to achieve that high—you work onto fondling her perky mounds and latched your lips onto her taut buds, kissing and pecking it in order to make her brain go haywire and with her profanities being constantly voiced out, you know it’s going to be near and this would be the paramount of the show.

“God—are you g-going to cum again, Miyeon?”

“Yes, d-daddy! Please c-cum inside me too—I k-know—gahh, y-you want to—fuck, please, d-daddy!!”

Not going to hold anything just to savor the feeling, you will embrace the inevitable as you bury your entire length in her, filling her up to the hilt as you fall onto your deepest desires, shooting your treasured seed deep inside of her as you fill every inch of her velvety walls full of your cream. The both of your groan in every spurt you deposit inside her pussy, letting both of you exchange such lustful plethoras of sinful compliments towards each other as she holds your arms and smiles at you, loving how this moment is being unveiled into a messy one and will end up on that note too.

After exchanging breaths and beautiful smiles laced with bliss, the both of you shared an intimate kiss as both your lips embraced with aims to show the utmost affection and love between the both of you. Even with the differences and being bugbears, the both of you still show how much you love each other and it’s all pristine and genuine. You deepen the kiss as your primal instincts kick in but it wasn’t nearly aggressive, but rather full of your intimacy and passion towards each other and with your length gradually getting flaccid, you pull out to her only to be met with a view of her folds full of your semen, creaming her beautifully as some of it are seeping out and staining the sheets underneath.

“You c-came so much daddy—filled me up so well…” Miyeon voiced out enervated, and you, smiling with the fact that she always loves being filled up by you and how your loads are consistently making her feel the utmost serendipity inside her.

“Of course—” You caress her cheek and fix her disheveled hair, then smile gleefully at her as you feel the utmost affections towards right now that you want to give her anything in this world. “—all of that because I love you…”

Miyeon blushes from that thought and knows it’s all genuine because within the refulgence of your eyes, it shows how much she means to you. Miyeon then catches you off-guard with a kiss on the lips as she voiced out her exhaustion and drowsiness. “I love you t-too, daddy but, can we please sleep and cuddle tonight? I feel sleepy right now…”

“If that’s what my baby wants, then why not?” You then laid down beside her, and pulled her into an embrace as you didn’t even bother to do anything rather than feeling the warmness of her body complimenting yours.

“Don’t you wanna shower, daddy?��

“Maybe later, Miyeon but for now…” You caressed her cheeks again, stroked her hair and continued, “Let’s just feel each other—cuddle each other, alright?”

With the softness in your heart, you made everything end on a good note as you can already feel Miyeon sleeping onto your chest, her impeccable features all in your sight as all you can feel is how much you adore her and not so long after, you feel yourself succumbing onto your drowsiness as this marks as the end of another spectacular day, maybe hoping for an energizer once the both of you wake up… or maybe even more than that…

"A-Ah, Tecchou, don't dip your hamburger into your milkshake—!"

You pouted, stopping your boyfriend's hand from ruining his strawberry milkshake. The two of you had decided to go on a date at a vintage diner for his day off. Being a Hunting Dog was demanding, and he was often exhausted at the end of the day, so you tried to cherish every moment you could spend together. However, you could never truly relax with him.

The brunette frowned, his bangs shifting as he turned his head to peer up at you, "Why not? Sweet and salty go together, right? And it's good to combine foods that are the same colors. Ketchup and strawberry are bo—

You sighed, shoving a french fry dipped in your vanilla milkshake into Tecchou's mouth, cutting off his senseless rambling.

He looked surprised, but his eyes quickly lit up upon tasting the new, delicious food combination. "Oh, this is actually really good...Can I have another one?"

"Sure!" You nodded happily as you fed him another french fry, this time dipping it into his drink. At least it was more socially acceptable now. You watched as he ate the fries, quiet but focused on absorbing the flavor. Getting to treasure these sweet and wholesome moments with the strongest soldier in the Hunting Dogs was what made you fall for Tecchou in the first place, your love for him only growing stronger as you two grew up. "Seriously, though, Tecchou—sometimes I feel like your food taste is just pregnancy cravings..."

You continued to shovel dipped fries in his mouth as you recalled your past memories together, "Remember that one time that you tried to eat a slice of my birthday cake with dirt just because it was chocolate, and they were both brown?" You giggled as you pictured the scene again: you running over to find Tecchou after he'd gone off to your garden, him proudly showing you the "dirt sprinkles" and "moving gummy worms" he'd dug up from the ground to eat with his cake, your shock, and the equally shocked and amused looks on his parents' and the neighbors' faces when you told them the story. You titled your head, staring at your reflection on the bar table's metal countertop. "I don't even know how old we were when that happened. Just that it was when we were still neighbors."

Tecchou grinned, "It was your tenth birthday. I remember you were wearing that cream frilly dress with roses and got it dirty when you came to talk to me in the garden." He looked up and down your figure, noticing your cream and cherry-patterned halter midi dress, "'Kinda looks like what you have on right now. By the way, did I tell you how beautiful you look today?"

Rose dusted your cheeks as you pulled away, flustered and trying to keep your cool. "T-thanks." You looked back towards Tecchou and took in his outfit. Since it was his day off, he'd ditched the maroon uniform for an off-white, short-sleeve linen button-up and tan pants. His shirt was partially unbuttoned at the top, exposing his toned chest and arms and accentuating his layered, dark hair. "You look nice, too." You looked away, embarrassed for momentarily staring so hard, but you were sure the blush was still visible on your cheeks. You couldn't help it—even though you'd known Tecchou for so long and had already been dating for a few years, you felt like you'd never get over the butterflies and puppy love phase. It was probably due to his honest yet silly nature and the disastrous but endearing moments you always spent together. You still went on cute dates all the time—hiking (Tecchou would get you two lost in the woods sometimes...), picnics, and aquariums, so your relationship always felt wholesome and tender even through the hardships of Tecchou's work, just like a plum blossom.

Tecchou whined lowly, missing your touch by his face already. You were too lost in thought to notice the drops of milkshake flowing down your fingers, and Tecchou smiled cheekily. “Your hands are dripping.” He pointed at the one you were feeding him fries with.

You looked down, “Huh? Oh—“ you were about to grab a napkin from the dispenser until you felt your boyfriend firmly pull your hand back to his mouth and lick the sugary drink off your fingers. You yelped and tried to move back, startled by the sudden action. "T-Techhou, i-it's fine—"

"No," He said firmly, keeping his grip on you—there was no way you could break out of the toughest Hunting Dog's hold—"Just stay still." Complying, you blushed as he slowly ran his wet tongue over your sticky fingers, golden eyes intensely staring into your own.

"Mmm...you taste so sweet..." he grumbled into your skin—you secretly prayed he would stop before you started drawing attention as your heartbeat got faster.

"Tecchou—seriously, you're acting strange—!"

He pouted suddenly, lifting his head a bit, "You should be happy, y'know...When I get you pregnant, I'll eat all your weird pregnancy cravings with you."

You shivered at his words as he dipped back down to get the last bits of vanilla milkshake off your fingers, entire body now feeling hot. You were sure he didn't intend for it to come off so suggestive and probably thought it was a cute and innocent thing to say, but you were going crazy inside. Wait, doesn't that also mean he loves me enough to start a family togethe—

The door to the diner slammed open abruptly as three other customers came in, all in matching maroon attire.

"Hey! Tecchou's eating a human!" You recognized the high-pitched voice of Teruko, who was quickly followed by Jouno and Tachihara. The two ran in to see your questionable pose; Tachihara gaped in shock and Jouno looked disgusted, and the intrusion made you almost explode in embarrassment.

Tecchou, however, was completely unbothered, only muttering a "hello" as he looked at his unit who'd cut off his precious time with you.

You pulled your hand away, trying to introduce yourself "H-hi. You must be Tecchou's coworkers...I'm—"

Tachihara gasped, "Right, sorry, we must be interrupting your first date. Let's leave them in peace, guys!" He tried to leave before Teruko stopped him.

"No, Tachihara, we can't leave yet. This poor girl doesn't even know what she's gotten herself into...I mean, Tecchou's got some weird quirks and stuff, right?" Jouno sighed, already sick of the two and wanting to get away from the noisy diner. He could hear Tecchou's heartbeat get faster anxiously as the Hunting Dogs started to taunt you, suggesting that the brunette had strong feelings for you.

Tecchou's grip on you loosened like a sad puppy as Teruko's words hit him, making you notice, "N-no! You're both wrong!" You stammered, catching all four's attention. Tecchou's eyes were gazing into you again, curious as to what you'd say and how you felt about him since by nature you weren't a very expressive person. "This isn't our first date, and Tecchou's not weird!"

His eyes widened, and Teruko fell silent—slightly pissed off that you were challenging her but also shocked at how you were defending the same man who ate boiled eggs with the shells still on.

"He's kind and always makes me laugh, he's strong and protects me from danger, offers to carry and take care of me when I'm tired and sick, and he spends his free days with me even though he feels guilty about not being able to save others! I love him! I love him, and I always have ever since we were neighbors!" You pulled his arm close into your chest and tried to avert your eyes away from the patrons who had all started staring at you. Now, you and your boyfriend were both blushing. And he knew how you felt about him.

Teruko looked at you suspiciously; the Hunting Dogs were all close with each other and didn't disclose much about their pasts, so she wondered what your intentions were with Tecchou, since she didn't recall him ever mentioning you. "Neighbors, you say? And how long have you been friends together for?"

You and Tecchou looked at each other, both equally confused and dumbfounded by the fact that the Hunting Dogs didn't know you'd been dating. "Just 18 years, why?" You both said in unison, smiling and giggling at the coincidence.

Teruko recoiled in surprise, now feeling bad for being so intrusive. Trying to brush off her actions and be nonchalant, she turned her back to the two of you and grabbed the other two men, "Oh, sorry. Sorry for barging in then. We'll see you tomorrow, Tecchou." Jouno sighed again, unimpressed by his superior as Tachihara followed before turning around and smiling,

"Have fun, lovebirds!" You hugged Tecchou, feeling sheepish from the whole encounter and by your loud love confession, and he only hugged you back, strong arms enveloping you into his firm chest.

"Love you..." You mumbled weakly, feeling defeated but also relived to finally be alone together again. He laughed huskily as he planted a kiss on top of your head.

"I love you, too." You poked your head up from his chest to peck his soft lips, tasting a mixture of vanilla and strawberry. He closed his eyes, guiding the back of your head into the kiss more before pulling away and hugging you once more. "Hey, do you think you could feed me more fries? I'm hungry again."

You snickered cutely, nodding as you stayed in his arms a bit longer, thankful to have fallen in love with your childhood best friend.

The Wary Weretiger

It doesn't exactly take a Ranpo for the Agency to know Atsushi is struggling. Not for nothing but Atsushi is a homeless teenager in Yokohama.

No one knows where he stays. No one knows how he's managed to fend for himself or how long he's been on the streets.

They do know the money Atsushi has, he stole. Atsushi had just looked at them coldly and asked if they'd arrest him for it.

Dazai had laughed and said if that was the case Kunikida would arrest him for however many times he's stolen his wallet. Which did lighten the mood again.

The Agency did want to help Atsushi. He had unknowingly wormed his way into everyone's hearts.

But the thing is, Atsushi was stubborn. He not accept help nor ask for it. The teen really was the embodiment of a stray cat.

Atsushi hid his hunger pains and the way his cash was depleting. And if they weren't detectives, they might've fallen for it.

Atsushi himself didn't seem concerned by it. Kenji, bless his heart was the only one who could really mention it. Atsushi had shrugged "tigers can go 2 weeks without food, don't worry about it."

No one really wanted to know how he knew that applied to him.

So, everyone was very excited when Kenji burst into the office one day. Quite literally, the door came straight off it's hinges, yelling "Atsushi got the job!"

Dazai grinned "that's great, what did he get?" Atsushi had been quietly job hunting on his own. Though they'd all known, they stayed quiet about it.

"Oh its a lovely little cat cafe." Smiled Kenji, telling them all about it. Dazai's smile wavered because he knew that cafe. Kunikida noticed his change in attitude and looked at him pointedly.

"I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that cafes a front company for the Port Mafia."

"What?!" Yelled Kunikida. Ranpo nodded "no yeah you're right on that."

Atsushi took the news well. And by well, he flopped onto the sofa. And screamed out whole bunch of swears that even had Dazai taken aback.... Before writing them down.

Kenji frowned, patting Atsushi's head like one would a distressed kitten. Atsushi sighed, allowing it for a moment before getting up. "So I finally get a job and I have to quit."

"Not necessarily" Said Dazai, getting everyone's attention. "Unlike most front companies, this one is still a legitimate cafe. It just so happens that the owners are running a successful cafe, while money laundering to the Port Mafia."

Atsushi frowned "well that's great and all. But last I checked I was being hunted by the Port Mafia. Wouldn't this just be me walking into a trap?"

Dazai shook his head "see because the Port Mafia don't own the place, they've given the workers and the business protection from all other criminals. Including the Port Mafia themselves."

Ranpo nodded "you're bounty has to mention of you, simply a white tiger. You're ability isn't registed and as long as you don't use it at work, they won't know otherwise.

Atsushi thinks about it for a bit before nodding, slowly. "Alright... I'll stick with it for now. Should've known it was suspicious that the pay was so good."

He doesn't mention how desperately he needed this job. Nor how relieved he is to keep this one.

Dazai smiles kindly "well congrats Atsushi" he said before jumping up excitedly. "And now we can all eat the celebration cake." Atsushi looks at him, confused "cake?" Ranpo jumps out of his chair "finally! Bring it in Kenji!"

Kenji lights up, hurrying off and returning with a delicious looking chocolate cake with "congratulations" in rainbow coloured icing.

"We got the cake from the cafe but me and Kyouka did the icing." Smiled Kenji, Kyouka nodded with a small smile. Atsushi looked at the cake, overwhelmed and disbelief. "You... You did this, for me?" He asked quietly.

And oh the sheer shock on his face made everyone want to hug this poor kid. But they refrained, knowing that wouldn't go well at all. "Of course we did" said Kyouka, before handing him the first slice.

Atsushi took it, and for the first time since they'd all met him, he put down his rucksack. The rucksack that Atsushi guarded like his life depended on it. That held all his valuables and possessions.

He put it down, and moved to sit with Kenji and Kyouka to eat cake. Everyone subtly exchanged smiles, using all their training not to react and dug into the cake together.

Hi yes, how do timezones work? What is time? Is it your birthday yet/still/again??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

So, a tiny little something. The Multiverse of Birthdays:

RRCAU

Ruby rarely slept in. Usually one of the dogs saw to that, demanding an early morning walk. But last night was a late night. A very late night. Because today is Ruby’s birthday and Regina was very excited to deliver a good midnight birthday orgasm. Except just one wasn’t enough at all. And now it’s already past nine, which for Ruby is a late start in the day. The thing that finally woke her up just now is her phone. A happy birthday from Snow with lots of emojis and “can’t wait to give you your hug and maybe a present”.

Ruby sends a thumbs up back and stretches with a yawn. Where are the dogs? She looks at the other side of the bed. And where is Regina? This is not how mornings happen in this house, so Ruby puts on sweatpants and an old shirt (that probably should be in the laundry basket already) to investigate downstairs. There’s a smell coming from the kitchen. Makes sense.

As she opens the door Regina turns around, hand over her mouth, chewing. “No, I needed five more minutes.” “For what?” Ruby looks around. She finally sees their kids on the porch. Fangs has a paw up against the window, while Butters is busy emptying his bowl. Oh, right, the smell. Bacon is ready. So it’s clear what the husky wants.

“I wanted to bring you all this to bed.” Regina points at the tray. Bacon, toast, syrup, jam,  juice and now right out of the pan blueberry-chocolate-chip pancakes.

Ruby smiles and walks over to the table to sit down. “Breakfast in bed? All those possible crumbs? On your good sheets?” She raises an eyebrow.

Regina laughs. “All our sheets are good sheets. And I thought I could bend the no-food-in-bed-rule for a birthday breakfast.” She walks closer and Ruby puts her arms around Regina instinctively. “Which reminds me to say,” Regina leans down, “happy birthday.” The kiss gives Ruby a taste of the blueberries.

“Nice,” Ruby comments as she pulls Regina on her lap. “But I can eat here. Upstairs is for dessert only.”

“Oh, you think you’ll get one of those?”

“I know so.” Ruby leans forward, her mouth close to Regina’s chest now, but she stretches out her arm to pull the tray closer and get a bit of bacon. “Just let me get my energy up.”

It’s not a big birthday, no milestone celebration. So adult life keeps the group from coming together for this. But there are phone calls, there is cake, there are gifts arriving via mail. And an old fashioned birthday card even. From Anita. There are many days that Ruby has to take a deep breath to remind herself that this life is real - today it takes a few more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RRCAU - but oh look, it’s !Worse

Ruby sat at the kitchen table battling with her English homework. She tried to concentrate, but the words started to blur before her eyes.

“Do you need a little break?” Eva smiled at her and pushed her notebook away a bit, so she could set down a plate instead. Apple slices and a few cookies. “Thank you.” Ruby knew that she was allowed to just get something to eat from the fridge or pantry (except another chocolate pudding after bedtime, Snow had tested the rules when she moved in), but she still felt too shy to do it. Eva’s motherly radar was fine tuned enough though.

Ruby knew that this special radar was once again scanning her. The way Eva sat down something surely was up. So she stuffed two apple slices into her mouth so that she might have a little extra time to think before she had to speak again.

“I’m sorry this is all a bit short notice, honey.” Oh, there it was. Another appointment? Some more doctors? A big grown-up thing that Ruby had to endure? “With everything going on I missed that your birthday is on Thursday.”

Ruby blinked. It was? She had never kept track of that. “Oh,” she mumbled with her mouth full.

“I know it’s barely enough time to invite other kids. They probably have plans for the weekend already. But what would you want to do?”

Inviting others? Over? Here? Except for Snow Ruby didn’t have any friends. Well, Snow’s friends were mostly friendly towards her. And the few who kept teasing her about her clothes, well, mostly about being poor, only did so when nobody was around to even hear it. Most other kids seemed okay. But inviting anybody over? Into this house?

Ruby remembered Snow’s birthdays. The group of girls, the giggling, the cake, playing together. Snow had already talked about how she wanted to go rollerskating for her next one. Or to celebrate at the new indoor playground with the big trampolines. Or mini-golf. Snow had many ideas. Ruby had never thought about this at all. Not with her birthday.

The apple slices were swallowed, but Ruby still couldn’t find words.

“Okay, so you think about that for a bit and maybe we talk tonight?” Eva smiled at her. Again. Still. Like always.

“Maybe… can we maybe…” Ruby bit her lip. This was a big ask for her. Everything about this felt overwhelming. But she knew that Eva meant it all. She had brought this up. She wanted Ruby to celebrate her birthday. She had remembered Ruby’s birthday! “I’ve never bowled before… and maybe… maybe just us? Would that be okay?”

Eva nodded. “It’s your birthday. You decide what you want. I’m sure Leopold will love to teach you all his tricks.”

DRK - a very quick stab to the heart

Living in Oz - or rather living with Dorothy and Mulan wherever the shoes might take them - meant losing track of time. The time that passed in Storybrooke. For everybody Ruby had left behind in a place that wasn’t home, but still sometimes called to her. 28 static years had left a mark. An invisible one. Also courtesy of Regina.

Being of two minds and hearts seemed to be Ruby’s lot in life. And right now she wasn’t sure if she approved of the fact Dorothy and Mulan had pulled her back here. Yet some things were comforting. Everything would be easier if Ruby could just despise this town and its inhabitants. But every day she got up without knowing if something good or bad would happen, something good or bad enough to tip this tortuous scale.

Without looking at the calendar Ruby went down into the diner. Helping Granny made her feel better. Rude customers helped her get ready to leave this place again. Except, once again, she was there. Right. Where else would a family go get breakfast? Definitely not making some at home. And as always Ruby ignored the table Snow sat at. There was another waitress working. Or Granny could take care of her. For all Ruby cared Snow could just yell her order directly to the kitchen staff and grab it herself then. Whatever. An unspoken rule of no contact was upheld.

And yet Snow had the audacity to get up and walk over to her. Ruby growled. Snow approached her from her left, if she had been on the right it would have been easier to pretend to just not see her (her scent would have given her away anyway, oh, Red had memorized that scent so well in another life, it could never be erased from memory).

“I know we don’t talk,” Snow put out her hand, then stopped midway before she could touch Ruby’s arm. A reflex. “Still. Happy birthday, Red. – Ruby.” She pressed her lips together and tried for a smile. All Ruby could do was stare. She hadn’t even known what day it was. Hadn’t cared. But Snow remembered. Fucking Snow White remembered this arbitrary combination of day and month as something important. Damn. Where to put this feeling on the scale?

~~~~~~~~~~~

EIGOS - weird fluff from prison

Ruby liked her birthday. Well, she used to like it. Back when there were people around who knew and who mattered to her. A birthday was a day for celebration. And the Children of the Moon liked to celebrate together. Ruby’s fingers touched her chest, where the fabric of the prison uniform hid the crescent moon. That particular birthday had been painful, but also very joyous. It had been a proud moment to become one with the other Children. Birthdays were supposed to be fun.

But now? Ruby always felt a bit of envy when an inmate got a birthday package. Maybe if she made sure the date got out, the delusional fan mail she still got once in a while from cult fans and true crime obsessed freaks could turn into something in that department? A dark thought she buried deep down just as fast. No, not worth it. A birthday wasn’t about the gift itself (gifts were nice though), it was about being with people. Cherished people. Family, friends.

Ruby didn’t feel like working out, all she wanted to do was sulk a bit in her own misery. Maybe tonight, if she told Snow, she would have enough pity to make the night a bit more interesting. Wouldn’t count as a gift. And so Ruby sat in the far corner of the tv room, not really focusing on the screen.

��There you are, I was looking all over for you.” Ruby turned towards Mulan, who had an unusual bright smile on her face. “Not in the gym. Not on our bench. Not outside at all. What’s up with that?”

“You’re chatty today.” Ruby shrugged. “I’m very much not.”

“Oh.” Mulan sat down. “I thought… huh, maybe I didn’t think this through. Might be a terrible day for you. I kinda assumed…” Her shoulders sank.

Ruby knew Mulan good enough by now to read this body language. To get that she was honestly shaken up about making a mistake. Mulan didn’t really make mistakes. Her actions were very thought out.

“What did you assume?”

“You know that Belle has access to a bit of information, because of the library system, right?” “Yes.” “So she knows that today is your birthday. And she told me. So I thought if would be fun to get you something. But I guess birthdays weren’t big in the c–” Mulan stopped herself before saying the big fat C-word. “With your family.”

Ruby noticed the slip up, but she appreciated the effort Mulan always took to not speak in general ill terms of the cult. Ruby saw it for what it was now, but hearing somebody else say that word out loud got to her.

“Quite the opposite actually. Birthdays are fun.” “Oh, good. Hopefully I didn’t hype this up too much. Happy birthday, Ruby.” Mulan produced a package of little cream filled chocolate cakes from the commissary. Ruby smiled. One of her favorite sugary treats. For the candy selection on the pricy end. “Sorry, I normally would stick a candle in this.” Mulan laughed. “No, normally I would bake you a real cake and put some candles in that. This is sad. But all I can get right now.”

Ruby reached across the table and grabbed Mulan’s hand. “It’s perfect. Thank you.”

“Hey, some of us are watching this!”

Ruby wondered if she had made noise on her own if anybody would have said anything. But with Mulan they dared to shush her.

“Yeah, yeah,” Ruby answered. She got up and pulled Mulan with her. What a good excuse to hold hands for a little moment longer. “Guess our bench calls to us.”

“So you gonna tell me what birthday parties were like?” “Sure.”

Sharing cake and almost forgotten, yet fond, memories - not the worst birthday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WDC - oh look violent-free pain

“Happy birthday.” Snow’s voice came out in sing-song as she burst into Red’s room. Without knocking. As always.

“Birthday? It’s not my birthday.” “It is now.”

Red slowly placed the weight she was working with on the ground. Being confused by Snow’s antics started to become a regular thing. As was the realization to not voice the confusion. “How do you mean?”

“I’ve got your ID right here!” Snow was beaming as she held up a tiny card. “Isn’t this fantastic? I have a whole folder. Birth certificate, social security, school records. All yours.”

All things Red didn’t possess. Sure, she once was legally born. But her… mother Anita had never bothered with paperwork. And while almost starving to death looking for anything of the sort in the hole in the wall she had to call home had not been on Red’s mind. She was a non-entity. Not even a full person. She barely had a name.

But she had learned quite a bit in the years since Snow had rescued her. About the importance of keeping records and how some people could manipulate that specific system. Book keeping wasn’t something she was interested in, but she had seen and heard enough about it all already. So it wasn’t exactly a surprise Snow could get her father to produce such records. The fact that Snow had bothered with this at all though - curious.

“So how old am I today?”

“It’s your sweet sixteen!” With that Snow hugged her. And Red melted right into that embrace. The question of why today had crossed her mind, but what did it matter? She wasn’t sure when her actual birthday was and she hadn’t been able to choose that first date. So what did it matter that Snow had picked out the day for her? This was clearly a gift.

Years later Red stares at the calendar in Regina’s kitchen, coffee in hand.

“Anything planned for today?” Regina is busy checking her briefcase for work before leaving the house one last time.

“Not really. No. I think it might be my birthday.”

“You think?”

“It’s a long story.”

Regina sighs. Red isn’t the type for many words. Her stories are often short and precise, to an uncomfortable degree. No to her long story is a code for this-involves-a-fucked-up-moment-from-my-life-that-heavily-features-Snow.

“If it’s your birthday I will bring back cake after work and you can tell me all about that.” With that Regina is almost out the door. She stops, turns and walks back to Red. She places a quick kiss on her cheek. “Thanks for being here, Red. Whether it’s your birthday or not.”

Red smiles. Maybe it really doesn’t matter at all.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BSH - stinger for the end

It was Ruby’s 32nd birthday today and Belle knew what that meant - it was the guaranteed sex free day. What a weird tradition for them to have. Their sex life was a lot of things, but definitely never boring. What’s more of course, always with full consent. If one of them had the slightest reservation, there was no sex and that was okay. They had gone weeks without. But still it was a bit strange how this one day stood out. But it was for an understandable reason.

Cruella had told Ruby to wish for anything on her birthday. But her choice had been an illusion, because the choice of being left alone was never granted. And so nowadays the one birthday wish that didn’t even need to be uttered anymore was to not have sex. A day for cuddling and kissing and relaxing. And maybe laser tag with the girls.

[soggyyycereal]

ii3 ramble don’t look if you don’t want spoilers

k thanks- ANYWAYS

Taps mic… inhale….

BOT!!! Bot… bot omfmngdnbf the trans allegory arc of the CENTURY BOTT AAHGGGG

Okay well.. I mean it’s not exactly an ALLEGORY when they are literally CANONICALLY nonbinary…

JUST. Just listen. Listen to me. Okay. I know it’s practically basic knowledge that their ENTIRE arc is trans coded bUT LISTEN IF I WANNA TALK ABOUT IT, THEN I’M GONNA TALK ABOUT IT OKAY…? Okay… listen…

THE GLITCHING??? The glitching… the glitching whenever someone mentions “chairs” or anything related to BOW’S, NOT BOT’S, BUT BOOWW’S PAST? Yeah. Dysphoria. DYSPHORIA!! GENDER DYSPHORIA!!! HOW?? I’ll tell you how- the feeling that’s something wrong, not knowing what feels wrong but it still feels wrong? Dysphoria without knowing it’s dysphoria… m’kay? Walk with me

We’re gonna pretend that Bow is pre-transition Bot,, right? Cuz that’s what it basically is, their ENTIRE arc is basically becoming who you are,,, A TRANSGENDERISM!!! So obviously when they’re gonna be perceived as Bow (or in this case,, birth gender), they’re gonna feel uncomfortable. But they don’t know WHY they’re uncomfortable… they’re Bow, why would they feel uncomfortable about something related to Bow if they’ve always BEEN Bow, right? Because of GENDER TRANSNESS

Anyways- moving onto when they ACTUALLY begin to realize they’re not Bow (egg cracking), this is when things began going FULL THROTTLE FOR ME. (Episodes 8-14)

Episode 8, when they finally realize that they, are in fact, not Bow…

THIS… oh my god this… being raised with typical gender norms but then finally realizing those norms don’t align with you…

OOGGHHH MY GODDDD BOOOTTTTT HHHNNGNVHDHCHSHHFHSFHDJFHF AAHAHGGG BANGS TABLLEEE

But wait… there’s more…

Episode 9… Where they begin to transition…

THE REACTIONS. ARE SO UNBELIEVABLY REAL. OH MY GOD… I only ever see the typical “yay supportive” or the “get out of my house NOW” unsupportive…

But never the overly over the top supportive… but alas… we have Goo

DON’T GET ME WRONG. GOO IS AWESOME FOR SUPPORTING HIS FRIEND WITH THEIR JOURNEY IM ALL HERE FOR IT…

But it does get to a point where that support can be a bit uncomfortable and overwhelming

Even with Test Tube at the beginning of the episode,,, with the whole chocolate cake thing… it’s a time of change and I get why she might be wary of accidentally stepping into uneasy territory, becoming hyper aware of how they’re eating chocolate cake and how BOW liked chocolate cake and doesn’t wanna make assumptions because Bot isn’t Bow

I think this could be seen as someone transitioning but still enjoying some parts relating to the gender they no longer align with… like masc people still enjoying makeup and fem people still enjoying dressing more tomboyish, yk?

Overall I think this episode can be summed down to almost everyone becoming SUPER DUPER aware of Bot’s transition, like, to the point that’s what all they see anymore. Not Bot as a person, but rather as JUST an identity (note to self I wanna talk about this later in ep 12)

I really like how it’s worded here, “you just wanted a slice of cake, and I went and gave you the whole bakery” I DON’T KNOW HOW TO WORD IT BUT LIKE.. GOD!!! ITS SO GOOD I LOVE METAPHORS

Episode 10 doesn’t really include anything other than more of the process of them transitioning,,, choosing a new voice and allat

BUT OH MY GOD PROUD MAMA TEST TUBE IM IN TEARSSS

Same with episode 11,,, nothing too much happens in relating to Bot and their transition

HOWEVER TWELVE. OH MY GOD EPISODE TWELVE

I personally relate to this one… cuz this one handles particularly fearing transitioning…

Exhibit A… They’re obviously projecting into Floory (The Floor? Idk what bros name is specifically…) here…

BUT!!! My man goes in to say that no matter how you look like or how you present yourself,, you’re still you no matter what

LIKE… okay… for me personally, when I found out I was trans I was PETRIFIED. The whole idea of becoming someone new and being perceived as someone new TERRIFIED me… Only as I got older and got further into my own transition I realized it wasn’t that bad, it was the best thing I’ve ever decided for myself!!! So having that experience here, that fear represented here means a SHITTT TON to me… Again, like with the Goo situation I don’t really know how to word it properly but it works SSOOO well… it’s unbelievable /pos

As for episode 13,, again (unfortunately) there’s nothing much I can comment on,,, other than the butterfly symbolism which was introduced in the last episode

LIKE CMONNN

OH!! And thinking more clearly/improvement of mental health that often comes with transitioning too!1!!!!

anyways episode 14… aha.. EPISODE FOURTEEN OH MY GODDDDDD /POS

AGAIN. Again.. the subtle fear of transitioning,,, that I myself have personally felt with, is shown in this episode as well…

I SHOULD MENTION THAT TRANSITIONING ISN’T ALL DOOM AND GLOOM.. Despite the struggles I mention,, it is genuinely such a life saver

ANYWAYS!! In this episode Bot struggles with the idea of coming out to their creators (parents), Test Tube and Fan… Nervous for them to see all of the numerous changes they have made to their person

THIS LINE… This line got to me- like- genuinely 😭

AGAIN.. PERSONALLY RELATABLE FOR ME… I don’t know how to describe it… again 💔… But I feel like that it’s a very real thing that a lot of trans kids go through, which is slowly experimenting and trying things out with your friends… whether it be a new name or new pronouns, usually people would test them out first with their friends, which is exactly what Bot did (even if they didn’t have a choice since both Fan AND Test Tube got eliminated 😭)… They tried out their new green butterfly appearance with Nickel and Balloon… their voice… Practically EVERYTHING minus their height manipulation that Test Tube gave to them

Like said in the screen shot I provided, they know that their parents aren’t going to be mad… but they hope that it wouldn’t make them sad. Having been raised with a specific vision in mind, which in Bot’s case, being built to be a replica of Bow, but then turning out nothing like her. This could be easily translated to being raised with a specific gender norm and being raised with the expectation of continually aligning with the gender you’re assigned at birth with. But then finding out you’re not. The idea of telling the people who’ve had that expectation is scary. The idea of disappointing someone with the fact that you aren’t who they expect you to be is TERRIFYING even though you know they aren’t going to be mad

which is why I SCREAMED when they got eliminated at the end of the episode

BUT OH MY GODDDDD IM GONNA SOBBB

It’s such a simple interaction BUT GOD I’VE NEVER CRIED AT AN ELIMINATION BEFORE THIS POINT IN THE SERIES… Less is more… and it DELIVERED.

It’s such a small want.. such a small need… to be accepted wholeheartedly and the thought of anything except that is so terrifying when coming out to parents… But watching Test Tube walk up to them, hug them, and saying that simple like while smiling… “it’s you” is everything and MORE.

OH!! UHM!! ADDING FROM MY POINT FROM EARLIER… Back when I mentioned about the characters seeing Bot as just as their identity rather than their full person? Here, in this episode, I bring you Cabby..

Mind you,, for a lot of the series I disliked Cabby (earlier part of the season)… BUT!! I WILL ADMIT THAT SHE HAS HER MOMENTS!! THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!

Up to this point, no one has really asked Bot what they enjoy. Not even Test Tube (again not like she could since she was eliminated- NO DISS TOWARDS ANYONE I SWEAR). During transitions, people can get very easily hung up in the process. Or so I’ve noticed with my own personal story… First year I was out as non-cis I was gifted pride stuff for Christmas 😭

ANYWAYS- my point is, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the chaos of becoming who you truly are that sometimes people forget to see you as YOU and not just as your identity, yk? So when Cabby asks Bot what they likes to do, they’re EXCITED

Anyways lgbtq community mentioned here as well

COUGHING ANYWAYS YEAH!!! This has been bubbling in my brain for a FAT while and I can’t exactly ramble to anyone about it (yet… my friend is almost done ii and oohhohohohoohh boy they are IN FOR IT/SILLY)

idk if anyone will actually read this,, but I had fun writing it all out!!!

Voretober D16 & 17- Sweet Drink

As you approached the bakery, the scent of chocolate was the first thing to hit your senses. Spellbound Delights...you had heard plenty of things about this bakery. The pastries and desserts here were to die for, certain treats were imbued with magic that could help you out during the day, and the owner was actually made of the very desserts she baked. Related to that, you've heard from some...hungrier sorts, that she's a delicious challenge no one's succeeded in bagging yet.

You weren't here for anything like that, though.

Entering the bakery, you found it decorated for Halloween in purples and oranges. The chocolatey smell was almost overpowering in here, with its source being the witchy-looking woman behind the counter. Her large hat looked as though it was sprinkled with powdered sugar, and a large strawberry slice sat atop of it as some sort of accessory. Her dress was a deep brown and accented with the same dusting of white, and it all smelled very sugary. You noted her long black hair wasn't hair at all, but long strands of melty chocolate...you guessed what you heard was true. She was watching you look around with an amused smile, resting her head in her hands.

"Hey, sugarplum~ Welcome to Spellbound Delights! Anything I can get you?" Chiffon's smile was about as sweet as she is.

Pulled back to attention, you nod and look over the display case and menu. The pastries looked good, but you didn't know she did drinks now too! These milkshakes looked and sounded good, though you didn't understand what these ingredients were....you didn't have food allergies, so you'd be fine! Ideally... Your attention seemed to linger on a shake that looked like a pastel version of the night sky. Pointing it out to her, her smile seems to fall a bit.

"Oh, you'd like that one...? It's a great milkshake, but it's only popular with...certain customers, if you know what I mean. I can make it for you without the enhancements, if you're sure..."

The look in her eyes tells you all you need to know about it. You tell her you want the drink, and the enhancements were exactly what you had in mind. She tilted her head, thinking it over for a moment, before her face lights up. "Oh, I see! You're...ehehe, I don't get too many like you~ Here, it'll be on the house!"

Chiffon disappeared to the back all too happily, and was quick to reappear with a glittering milkshake and a big smile. "It's a bit small, sorry about that! But you know, nobody ever gets to finish these..." She sets down the cup in front of you, and you take a sip to taste it. It somehow tastes like your favorite dessert despite the ingredients...is that a part of the magic? Without realizing it you've sucked down about half of the drink, earning a chuckle from the witch. Maybe that's enough of that...you set the shake down, wondering when it'd take effect. A coolness was spreading through your body, but you figured that was just because it was cold.

However, in the blink of an eye, your world is suddenly so much bigger. It doesn't take long for some black high-heeled boots to step into your vision, and a gloved hand to gently lift you up. "I didn't think you'd drink it so quickly, goodness that worked fast! But you're good enough to eat now, ehehe...if you've got any friends like you, tell them to swing by sometime, got it? I'd love for more willing treats to stop in~!"

Before you can react, she pops you into her mouth! There's a pleased hum that echoes around you, she must like how you taste...or made it so you'd taste even better. You went limp against her tongue, letting her swirl you around in her mouth, coating you in sticky dark saliva. Her mouth was warm and felt almost spongy like a cake, but being made of food didn't make it hard for her to swallow you in one gulp.

The trip down Chiffon's throat felt like forever, but it was a comfortable trip into her stomach. You plopped down into a thick pool of some kind of thick, almost fudgy frosting. Her stomach was hot, making the pool sludgy, and you felt more like you were in a mud bath than in a stomach. Some contented sounds from above told you that you were a fine snack for the witch, coupled with the happy sounding burbles from her stomach. You were happy, and you didn't even mind the chocolate stains your clothes were inevitably going to get. Maybe you'll visit again with friends, at her request...

Summer of Like // Farleigh Start x OC (27)

I watch Venetia pour herself another glass of wine with a shaking hand. 

It’s lunch, and it isn’t at the same time. We are scattered around the table in complete silence - only James and Elspeth eat. I didn’t understand what people meant when they said ‘the cold-hearted English’ before, but I do now, watching as they all pretend that nothing has happened, even when their son’s body is still in the backyard. I look down at the untouched slice of shepherd's pie on my plate. I need to get out of this house. I need to throw up. 

The quiet click of shoes on the wood signals Duncan’s arrival. 

Elspeth pats her napkin around her lips. “What is it, Duncan?”

Duncan’s voice is pained. “It's the police, Your Ladyship. They are...er...having trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?” Elspeth asks. 

A brief moment of silence lingers before Duncan speaks again. “They keep getting lost in the maze.”

Another moment of silence permeates the room, until Farleigh laughs, sharp and sad. It echoes around the dining room, even after James shoots an icy glare in his direction. James’s attention turns to Duncan. “And?”

“May I send one of the gardeners to assist them?” Duncan looks straight ahead, never meeting James’s eyes. 

James turns his attention back to his plate. “Fine.”

Duncan disappears, shoes clicking back down the hall. For a moment the table is silent, only the sounds of James and Elspeth’s forks scraping against their plates echoing around the room. Venetia drains her glass of wine. Next to me, Farleigh sits stock still in his seat. I know that if I look at either of them I’ll start crying, so I don’t.

At the end of the table, Elspeth forces a smile. “Oliver, darling. Why don't you tell us about last night?” 

Across the table, Oliver looks up from his plate. “Last night?”

Elspeth stills smiles. “Mmmm. Did you have a lovely time?”

“Yeah.” Oliver says. “It was wonderful. Thank you.”

Wonderful? Felix died. I watch in amazement and horror as half the table pretends that nothing happened - that there isn’t a dead body in the backyard. 

“Oh good!” Elspeth presses on. “I think it was a hit, don't you darling?”

“Oh yes.” James agrees. “A triumph.”

A triumph. Bile rises in the back of my throat, and I feel like I might vomit right here at the table, spilling my guts across the patterned tablecloth. 

“Yes, the house looked good.” Elspeth says. 

“Beautiful.” James chimes in. 

Oliver perks up again. “And that cake was-”

“Oh did you like it?” Elspeth cuts him off, tittering. “I never had any in the end. That’s always the way, isn’t it? You end up running around so much you miss the actual party.”

The click of shoes on the wood signals Duncan’s arrival again. 

James doesn’t even look at him, his voice tight. “What now?”

Duncan leans down, close to James ear - but the room is so quiet I can hear him anyway. “May I be permitted to close the curtains, sir? The coroner is outside and may need to pass the window-”

James interrupts him. “Yes. Thank you. Close them.”

Duncan stands up, and walks to the window as Oliver continues. “I don't normally like chocolate cake.”

Elspeth nods. “Yes it can be cloying, can't it?”

“But last night it was so light!” Oliver says. 

“Yes Lynn has always been an expert with cakes.” Elspeth says. “Yes, cold hands apparently. You have to have cold hands.”

Oliver nods. “I’ve heard that. So the butter doesn't melt.”

The room begins to darken, the red curtains casting a wash of deep burgundy over the room. I watch as the fabric catches in the track, and Duncan tugs at it, trying to work it loose. 

Elspeth is in a world of her own, “Although I would think that applies more to pastry than it does to cake-” 

James cuts her off. “Duncan, just get them closed, for Christ's sake!” 

Duncan pulls at the curtain almost frantically. “Yes, I am trying sir, I can’t-”

One of the footmen rushes over, and the curtains finally close. The dining room is bathed in blood, and the sound of the gurney rolling by filters through the room. James plugs his ears, shaking his head. Elspeth almost chokes, bringing her napkin up to her mouth. I don’t notice the wine spilling out of Venetia’s glass until it seeps over to my plate, staining the tablecloth the same color as the curtains. 

As soon as the squeaking of the gurney wheels fades into the distance, Farleigh rises from his seat, voice shaking. “Oh my god... May I be excused, please?”

James' voice is harsh. “No. We haven’t finished lunch?”

Farleigh is almost in tears, pacing. “The lunch is cold! You want me to just eat it like nothing is happening?”

Elspeth looks at Farleigh, with the first glimmer of sadness I’ve seen from her since the body was found. “What else is there to do, darling?”

Farleigh sobs. “Anything! Anything-”

A loud bang shocks through the room as James slams his fist on the table. Farleigh freezes - I flinch on instinct. 

“Farleigh!” James roars. “Will you be quiet?! Sit down, and eat the bloody pie! Just eat it! Eat it and shut up! Eat the bloody pie!”

Farleigh drops back into his seat, almost shaking - from tears or fear, I don’t know. 

James takes a breath, and then continues. “You're not the only person here with feelings. None of us wants your bloody American feelings!”

A silence stretches over the table. I watch Farleigh try to eat, and fail, crying too hard to choke anything down. I don’t even try - between stumbling upon Felix’s dead body, and the sharp pit of resentment that’s settled in my gut from James’ yelling, I’m not eating anything for a while. I need to leave. I need to go home-

Oliver’s quiet voice breaks the silence. “I think it’s delicious.”

Farleigh explodes. “What the fuck are you still doing here?”

Oliver turns his icy blue eyes on Farleigh, and a shiver runs up my spine. Just being in the periphery of his stare is enough to make me uncomfortable. It’s unsettling, how normal he’s acting. Like his best friend didn’t just die. 

“Wait, does no one else find it weird?” Farleigh continues. “No one else finds that weird?”

Oliver’s tone is unnaturally level. “I wouldn’t throw stones if I was you, Farleigh.”

“Excuse me?” Farleigh almost laughs. 

On my other side, Venetia mutters, sounding tired. “Please stop.”

James’ eyes turn to Farleigh. “What is he saying?”

“I have no idea.” Farleigh says, still focused on Oliver. 

“What I'm saying is that I'd feel guilty too…” Oliver shrugs. 

“Guilty?” Farleigh asks. 

There’s a glint in Oliver’s eye as he finishes his sentence. “If I was the one racking up lines the night someone died.”

This time, the silence that descends is one of shock. A cold streak runs down my spine, and I turn to look at Farleigh. His gaze is stony, focused on Oliver. 

“Fuck you.” He spits. 

Oliver only blinks, glancing at James. “That’s not a denial.”

James is pale with fury - even more than when he shouted earlier. “Is that true?” He nods to Duncan. “Search Farleigh’s room.”

All the fire in Farleigh dissipates at once, and he begins to cry again. “No…”

But it's too late - Duncan nods sharply, and backs out of the room. Emotions rush through me all at once - panic, anger, despair. Farleigh crumples back into his chair, utterly defeated. I need to leave-

“Get out.” James is unflinching, staring at Farleigh. 

“No, wait-” Farleigh sniffles. 

Elspeth finally tunes into the conversation. “What’s happening?”

Farleigh turns to her. “Aunt Elspeth… Elspeth..?”

James is almost yelling again. “Don’t you dare look at her!” He rages. “Get out! I won't mention this to the police. That's all you get. Nothing more. Ever again. I-”

Whatever he’s about to say is interrupted by the scrape of my chair against the hardwood floor. I rise quickly, before I even really know that I’m going to do it. All the eyes in the room shift to me, but I say nothing, simply grabbing Farleigh by the arm and hauling him out of his seat. My heart is pounding like I’ve just run a marathon. 

I walk out of the room, pulling Farleigh with me.

Trafalgar Law X CisFem Reader

11

Every nine inch round pan you owned was out on the counter. Four perfectly iced cakes sat on the kitchen table. Each one a different flavor profile, different style of icing, different color. You were focused at what little space was left on the counter working a marshmallow buttercream with your favorite offset spatula over the fifth and final cake.

"We've talked about bringing work home with you." you were so absorbed in the cake you didn't hear your fiance get home.

"Ha-ha." you murmured back, turning as he entered the kitchen, "It's not for work."

His tired eyes scanned the room as realization settled in

"Oh, no." his gaze finally landed on you, "We talked about this too, F/N-ya."

"I just need help choosing," you gave him your best pout, "please?"

"I don't eat cake." he deadpanned.

"You haven't even tried. Just a taste?"

"Isn't this a waste, if you're just tasting them?"

"We're." you corrected, "And I can sell single slices at the shop."

He watched you add the newly finished cake to the table and then start to rearrange them by flavor. The small smile on your face as you concentrated and hummed tugged at him. It was very apparent that this was something that made you happy.

Who was he to deny you that?

Even with all of the trouble the two of you had - the thought of upsetting you stung.

He was starting to hate this feeling a little less.

"You're mad?" your pouting voice broke his train of thought.

He blinked realizing he'd been staring,"No-not at all. Give me a moment to change and we can tackle this."

The smile you responded with was unfair. Not only that, it was incredibly rare. In your short arranged relationship he'd only seen that smile twice. This was the first time it was directed at him and he didn't know what to do with that. For him to be the source of an expression that was so pure and joyful? He never thought he'd see the day - he never knew he wanted to. 

You continued to cut and plate the cakes while Law dipped out to change. He returned wearing tapered black sweats and a navy slim-fit long sleeved shirt.

"So, why are there so many?" he sounded more amused than annoyed as he took a seat.

"I can't pick a flavor and I want to narrow it down. Also this cake is representing us, so it should be something we like."

His eyes followed your movements as he tried desperately to not react to what you'd just said. How were you suddenly being so nonchalant about everything?

That probably wasn't quite the right term for it. After meeting Rocinante and exchanging numbers, Law noticed a shift. He wouldn't go as far as to say you were excited about planning - but you definitely weren't as disinterested as you had been.

"Ok… we've got -" you began pointing at the cakes while naming them, "lemon cake with a blueberry compote and lemonade buttercream, strawberry shortcake with a whipped marshmallow buttercream - my personal favorite, raspberry white chocolate with a cream cheese frosting, classic vanilla bean with a vanilla bourbon swiss buttercream, and finally double chocolate with an American buttercream." you hummed, "We could do a German chocolate cake I guess. The caramel is good but people can be weird about the coconut."

"I can see why there are so many now." your fiance murmured, "You don't have to keep adding to the list F/N. Why don't we just pick the one that's your favorite?"

"Maybe it's stupid, but it's important to me that we choose it together and not just because I like it." you looked up at him with big doe eyes.

He had to be sure you were never made aware of how dangerous your facial expressions were.

"Alright, let's get this started then. We'll save the strawberry for last." he reluctantly pulled the vanilla cake toward himself.

You let out a short laugh, "You don't have to look so upset. If you absolutely can't handle the cake then I'll just choose on my own. Also, I made you some onigiri for after."

"Thanks." he mumbled picking up his fork.

Your hopeful gaze was absolutely crushing him. He knew he'd feel guilty if he truly didn't like it. But he had never actually had cake that he could remember. He just knew the ingredients could be similar to bread which he didn't find appealing. Desserts weren't something he needed or really craved either.

How he managed to be paired with a pastry chef was beyond him.

The fork slid through the cake with ease. He took a deep breath before closing his eyes and taking the first terrifying bite.

You looked on with amusement. This fully grown man with a full medical degree was eating a slice of cake the way a six-year-old would eat green beans. You were surprised that he didn't gag.

Law was surprised to find nothing about this unpleasant. The texture of the cake was a little like bread but moist - not off putting as he had expected. The frosting was smooth and balanced.

"Be honest," you said, taking a bite for yourself.

He paused for a moment in thought, "Maybe a bit too sweet? I… don't hate it." a small simper tugged at his lips.

You nodded, taking mental note,"Maybe something tart would be better for you?"

The tasting moved on like this. Law was less reluctant with every slice. Each time he gave an honest critique. He liked the juxtapose of the tart lemon and sweet blueberries, but the lemonade frosting didn't land the way you'd hoped. The double chocolate was too rich, he wasn't a fan of chocolate really anyway. So far the raspberry white chocolate was his favorite.

"I'm so glad this is the last one." he sighed, "I'm not sure I can take much more."

"I'm sorry for torturing you, you poor baby." you chuckled, moving the final piece between you.

Last but not least was the strawberry shortcake. The way you had layered the slices of strawberries between the layers of cake was like something he'd seen on TV. It was more dense and as he examined the piece on his fork there were bits of green. Mint? The sponge also seemed to be soaked in pink liquid. You watched him as you were already on your second bite, wondering what he was analyzing so hard. Finally he ate it and hummed.

He hummed!

Not his usual incredulous tone.

He sounded surprised.

And he was… pleasantly.

The strawberries were sweet and tart, the cake was buttery, the marshmallow was light and just sweet enough but it all came together with the floral hint of basil - not mint.

Your eyes widened as he took a second bite.

"This one." he placed his fork on the half empty plate.

"You like it?" you asked standing with more energy than he could recall ever experiencing with you.

"I really do, as much as I hate to admit defeat," he chuckled,"this wasn't so bad."

You couldn't contain your excitement. Having Law like the food you made him always made you feel good, even when things were rough. But this felt almost like you'd won a Michelin star.

In your little celebration you'd moved forward and wrapped your arms around his neck. Law let out a surprised "oof" and hugged you back. This was the first time you had ever hugged him. Realizing you were basically in his lap, you pulled away slowly, the apology dying on your lips as he caught your gaze.

Had his eyes always had that little swirl of gold? How had you never noticed how beautiful they were? For a moment you just quietly stared at each other while the air around you shifted. As Law's left hand came up to wipe some frosting from your cheek the doorbell rang sending you to your feet. 

"I-I'll get it."

You could have just combusted on the spot. Quickly you straightened yourself up as you opened the door.

A young pink haired man stood next to a taller blonde. They both wore black suits and trench coats.

The younger man looked at you with a soft cordial smile, "Miss F/N L/N, we're with The NWO. We've got a few questions for you if you have the time."

[clouds-of-wings]

As Fontanella celebrates its 50th year, LOUISETTE SANT MANDUCA tells Fiona Galea Debono how she created a slice of history. “Well, if you don’t mess up your clothes with chocolate, you haven’t been to Fontanella,” quips Louisette Sant Manduca, noticing a faint brown stain on her smart, powder-blue outfit. Half a century ago, the entrepreneurial young mother of two decided to open her private, underused garden, perched on the bastions opposite her Mdina home, and turn it into a coffee shop just as a “hobby”. Now, as she celebrates the 50th year of Fontanella, Sant Manduca may not be baking all the delightful treats herself any more but her popular, velvety chocolate cake and airy strawberry meringue are still bestseller menu staples – and the stain on her scarf is proof of that. The only difference is that more desserts are being made to meet the massive influx of tourists to Fontanella’s.

THIS PLACE! Oh man. I visited it in the afternoon when I went to Mdina, Malta, nearly exactly two years ago, just as it was starting to get dark. I got that exact chocolate cake and sat outside - it was so cold that hardly anyone else chose an outside table, especially in that windy spot on top of the wall.

It was magical to see night fall from up there. It is HIGH up. You can see the entire northern half of Malta, just as you can see all of Gozo from the top of the citadel in Victoria. As the lights came on in the towns, I realized that I could identify them - Valletta, Buġibba, Sliema, Mosta. It's like being on top of a giant map.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the happiest moments of my life. It was my first time traveling abroad on my own (unless you count my semester abroad a few years back), and as I watched the lights in the distance, it sank in - I really did it! I made it here! And this place is so, so beautiful! Mdina especially is a very historical town, you're not even allowed to drive a car in it unless you live there.

Honestly, when I idly wondered a while back what I would do if I knew the world was going to end in three days and no one else knew... knowing that no one would believe me in that situation anyway, I decided I would fly back to Malta and go to that exact place. Sit on that wall again, eat chocolate cake, and watch the world end.

Heyo, I saw that you write for R1999 too and got very interested!

Would you be able to write something with Pavia X Reader, with the Reader having Type-2 diabetes? The difference of him having a sweet tooth and loving gelato, while his lover can't eat any of it might be interesting to explore.

Thank you!

— 📻

Thanks anon for requesting this! I gotta say, it was new for me because well I dont know much about pavia or type two diabetes, so it was fun researcing how the character is and t2 diabetes! I hope you enjoyed it and this isnt too ooc or inaccurate! Also i said yhat i would work on it a few days ago.... i kinda spent alot of timw procrastinating and 'researching'.....

I decided to have the scenario where in the suitcase they were just doing whatever (such an amazing description)

Warnings - none - Pavia x reader w/ type 2 diabetes, could possibly be out of occ (majorly), may be inaccurate, fluff?, slice of life

☆ ---------------------------------------------------- ☆

It's another normal day in the suitcase, Bunny Bunny is cooking breakfast, Sotheby is talking to Ezra about some things that involves both mushrooms and potions..., Vertin is roaming around - talking to the different arcanists, well barging into their room without knocking, its the same thing. Whilst you and Pavia are in the living area, chatting amongst yourselves, speaking of 'mundane' things such as what they did outside of the suitcase... what his shadowy wolf friends did with those poor critters that came their way, what things he shot while watching over the suitcase, things of such in that manner.

Also, given that Pavia has a knack for sweet things, course he is snacking on a two foot truffle cake that Bunny Bunny had made on a previous day... Which is too much for one person in your opinion, but whatsoever, you've learned not to mind him much in that sense.... Well for the most part atleast.

"Eh, What's going Caro?~ Why are you garking at my treat?"

He says while pulling down his sunshades, looking at you like youre crazy.

"Ah ah, you know amore, you cant have it- hah"

He teases, which just earns him a glare.

"A person can only dream"

You say while sighing, looking at his oh so precious treat. Too bad you can't have any of his chocolately goodness though, this world is surely cruel. Though Pavia is smirking as always, everytime you gawk at his treats he always tease you about it. But, you know its in somewhat 'innocent' fun.

"Come on, its fine amore.... How bout' this"

With a click of his tongue and a sly hand to your side, he leads you up. Of course with one last bite before he and you start to ponder around the suitcase.

"What is it now-?"

You ask in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Quit askin'"

---

He ended up leading you to his room, it's full of little trinkets like gold chain necklaces, jewelry, dog toys and of course sweets wrappers, also a few... weapons such as pistols and brass knuckles... But after a while you get used to him and his things.

"Why here...?"

You ask, but he just clicks his tongue in a slightly annoyed manner, yet he still has that smirk on his face.

"You seemed.... eh, even more annoyed then usual, and I like annoying you, but it wasnt fun."

"But i was barely even-"

"Dont care- anyways I know what will make you a bit happier~"

Then his wolf friends just snuggled at your shoes, and you pet one, but give Pavia a little glare. You sigh while picking one up before speaking again.

"Okay.... they make me happy but that doesnt change the desire to have some cake...."

"Yeah yeah... Im sure Bunny Bunny can make one that doesnt have alot of sugar or whatever"

"That isnt how it works...."

☆ ---------------------------------------------------- ☆

I held this off for quite some time... only for it to be mid as hell, so im sorry anon 😔 (and fellow pavia enjoyers). He's a complicated character (atleast for me....) and so I dont think i wrote him that well, so im sorryyyyyyyy. But i hope you all enjoyed it some bit (even tho its kinda short). And i was supposed to do this a few weeks ago, and then some stuff happened.... Oh well!!!

Anyways bye bye (i dont think ill be writing him for some time LOL)

[loopy4lu]

yesterday was my mums birthday. today we celebrated it with family. i spent the whole afternoon helping set up as an adult. i was the only child helping. the others were completely able to refuse. i help with every step, including passing out dessert. i bring cake to everyone, even my cousin whos taking a breather in the other room. after finishing handing out everything i was asked to, i come back to the cake to find four bowls. two of the bowls follow my nan and i think "oh one must be for me" but each are taken by someone. theres two bowls left. the cake is packed away. the last two people leave. with the last two bowls. my own mother, who was cutting the cake, has forgotten to give her daughter, who loves chocolate cake, a slice of her chocolate birthday cake. everyone has left the room. im following them outside when i reach the door and have to take an extremely deep breath to avoid screaming at the world.

once i finally head outside, everyone is sitting down. i take my seat in the corner. someone glances over at me. i avoid eye contact. "wheres yours?" immediately tears in my eyes. i shrug, "i didnt get one" and my voice breaks. tears steeam down my cheeks. my poor mother whos birthday celebration i feel ive just ruined, apologises profusely and pulls me to the kitchen so i can finally get a slice. everyones confused on why im upset as once again there was a lack of focus on my needs. she gives me a massive slice, not out of kindness but of guilt. she knows i wont eat it all. she knows its a waste, and she knows ill be embarrassed about said waste.

i sit down with my overly large slice. a couple of people try to take the blame. i apologise and tell them its fine, while still uncontrollably crying. we all eat our cake. i get less than halfway when im full. i once again am asked to do things for people when i bring in several plates. after weve eaten theres no further mention of the mistake, and no question as to if im ok and if i want to step inside, even though i am still crying consistently, and even though my sister had been asked many times if she wanted to go inside earlier in the event.

eventually i finally am given the oppurtunity to leave. i sit there as people pack up. i offer to help my mum a couple of times but she turns away. i sit alone. teary eyed. sniffling. feeling stupid and immature for being upset about this. too many sympathetic looks. random stories to try and distract me from my sadness, which are then interrupted for others to say goodbye. perfectly reasonable but still feels as though i am being ignored, especially when they dont even look in my direction. i get two byes that afternoon. one side hug. we head out to our car. i am unable to cry to myself for the next hour and a half. i dustract myself. i get home. evsrythings ok. it didnt matter.

except it did. it really did matter to me. after feeling like im in the back of peoples minds for weeks, this confirmation hit me like a trainwreck. i cant even get upset or moody about it because im supposed to act like an adult in front of others now. except for the fact im not an adult. im a moody, depressed, anxious teen who feels ignored by the world and wants to scream all their misfortunes into the hot summer air. im so tired of acting like the perfect mature cousin when im not and nobody even likes me anyway. theres not really a point anymore. but i will continue to. the only thing that keeps me going is hope, so why not let it determine my mental state. maybe theyll remember me next time.

[stardustedwanderer]

It's understandable that Siffrin likely forgot about their birthday. That's the thing about time loops, time kind of gets away from you. Yes it's a bit of a bad thought spiral to go down with the reminder but… well. He's gotta have a nice thing every so often. And of course there's…. Well. They're going to get a special gift too. Despite the change in weather, there's two distinct pops of sparkles and stardust. One by Siffrin, who gets a little box with a small chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache on top. There's also a little candle and a match, along with a card. It reads "Happy birthday Siffrin! Hope you like chocolate, I kind of guessed from your love of pan au chocolat. Oh! And there's a culture in my world where you light a candle on a cake and blow it out to make a wish! Just remember not to tell anyone or else it won't come true ;)"

-- Loop gets their own cake. It's lovingly wrapped to be sure there wouldn't be any issues as well. There's another candle and match, for a small ritual of birthday wishes. But the note is different. "My Blazar, I hope you enjoy the cake. I know you don't really need to eat, but it felt rude to only focus on Stardust. I wish you a better new year." The cake is the same flavor, death by chocolate. But the decorations are much more overt. Sparkles and little white pearls to mimic stars. It's distinct. And yours.

[You've been trying not to think about it too much, that's for sure. Not thinking about it some more while you stare at the skies. Not thinking about it at all when you hear something appear nearby - Strange, normally you'd jump at something like that, but instead you look over.

Oh. Might need to sit up for this.]

'Huh.. Gâteau au chocolat..' [You remember someone teaching you that name once, a long time ago. You don't remember who. Or when. Or where. But you remember the name, and that's something!]

[You remember candles too. Even without the reminder you know. Each star representing a year lived - odd to find a ritual with so staunchly set a number you think, as if the years themselves lend some form of strength. Do wishes made in later years hold more power, you wonder..? You feel like this isn't the first time you've asked that. You feel like it won't be the last.]

[It doesn't matter much.]

[You gently place the candle in place, in the middle - It could have been to one side or the other but some instinct tells you the middle is best. More.. Effective? What for you couldn't say.]

[...You should probably wish for this to be over. You think how much you should wish for that as you blow the candles out. Somehow it feels like you did it wrong, like you didn't quite want it but. There's no changing it now.. It's not like wishes can really change much anyway, right? It's just a silly little game people play after all, something to lend more meaning to the event. Something small, and nice.. And harmless.]

[Cake on the other hand? Is very real. And very tasty. As you scarf down a slice you can't help pondering if there's some sort of excuse you could find to have this, so you can share it with your family. You think one might come to you after a second slice.. Maybe.]

-------

[Under this thrice blasted tree you have no real way of knowing the motions you're mimicking. You understand the importance a little more, even if you question the legitimacy - Is it really a birthday when you have grown no older? When you may never grow older again..?]

[Ah. But that was never the point of the sentiment was it? It was less about age, and more about the fact one exists at all. Exists, even in this form, in this place, locked in time. Unique and distinct, if a little less whole than one once was.]

[If you could smile you would be beaming, instead you do so in more literal fashion, a soft light illuminating the boughs overhead.]

[You are still here. Maybe you won't be much longer, but in this moment you are. And you are loved. What more could you ever wish for than that...?]

[lonelinessmademecrazy]

You said you've been writing down (or rather, typing up) whatever comes to your head when you first wake up. Would you be comfortable sharing some of the things you've written?

Sure, I see no harm in that. Some of the dates are a bit off due to me forgetting what days I had or had not accounted for.

Also, this will probably have a “read more” section bc this is LONG.

Eggs deserved some time in the spotlight

_____________________________________

Eggs looks between Fritz and Caleb, a look of horror on his face. 

“I don’t know which one is worse. The favorite flavor being vanilla, or never having eaten cake before.” 

The redhead suddenly ducks his head as he shuffles in place, Fritz seeming more nervous rather than self-conscious, the excitement they rarely see vanishing within seconds. “Well, we don’t...cake isn’t exactly, accessible...” 

It takes a moment for the sentence to register. For Eggs to remember Caleb and Fritz are only a few inches tall in height. Not normal human children like the hordes of gremlins that come into the restaurants daily, but ‘borrowers’ that took a long time in order to trust those who can and have swept them into a hand. And only a select few at that.

He’ll admit, he forgets how different their lives are. Sure, they live at Freddy Fazbear’s, but they can’t exactly book a birthday party. Can’t sneak into the kitchen like Eggs does to steal a slice of pizza or cake. Sometimes he steals a whole pizza and cake. No one’s been able to stop him yet! 

The borrower’s life, though? They get caught by the wrong person, and cake will never be on the table. 

“I’m in the mood for cake,” James suddenly announces. “Want to help us make one?” 

The two react in almost polar opposites. Caleb immediately perks up at finally being allowed to try cake honestly they’re monsters never having offered it before. But Fritz shrinks into himself even more. 

“What kind of cake?” the younger borrower asks, strangling the absolutely miniscule plush bear they have never seen him without. Even though the toy should be washed considering the amount of dust Caleb and Fritz tend to accumulate from their travels. “Fredbear says we might not like peanut butter.” 

Oh fuck they really are monsters, Eggs is telling Scott the man is doing a shitty job as a father!

“Chocolate’s hard to go wrong with. And Jeremy will be happy to help us eat the rest.” 

Finally Fritz makes a long sigh. As if they’re boring the teenager. “You, you’re allowed to make a chocolate cake?” 

Eggs shares a look with James, the doctor raising his eyebrows to say he had been expecting that to be the reason the kid was hesitant. Which is unfair! One of them is a child psychiatrist and apparently that includes borrower children and the other isn't. The other is a geneous mechanic. 

Genious. Genus? Genius. 

Then again, that has been a running theme when it comes to Fritz and Caleb. Less so for the nine year old boy now that they’ve all known each other for about two months, but the older borrower didn’t warm up as quickly. Allows asks for permission before doing things other than borrowing, and that had been quite the discussion. Maybe they need to get Scott to hold another meeting. 

Eggs taps his chin before giving a wry smile, forcing his hands not to make large movements. “Let’s think about it this way. Jeremy wouldn’t tattle cause it’s chocolate cake. If Scott finds us, he won’t even be mad, just disappointed. Mike doesn’t give a shit. And Harrison can’t bitch cause it’s not his restaurant.” 

“I thought we agreed to leave the cursing to Mike,” James stage whispers. 

“Just don’t tell Scott,” the blond replies. 

That has Caleb giggling as Fritz visibly relaxes. “Okay. W-We'd like to help make a cake.” 

Eggs offers a hand palm up for the two. Can’t help a smile when neither hesitate to climb on, though he did forget they’re spider monkeys. Caleb’s darting up his arm almost immediately, almost missing grabbing the edge of the short sleeve to his uniform when Fritz swoops in for a rescue, scooping his brother up and finishing the climb. 

The blond has to stop a shiver from the odd feeling of his shoulder being walked on, looking at James to confirm both of them are safely there. He can’t exactly turn his head to check on them or else that might cause a big problem. 

The doctor gives a smirk. “Have you finally accepted you’re a glorified jungle gym?” 

“Hey I’m the greatest jungle gym you will ever meet, thank you!” 

He hears the worry in Fritz’s voice as he carefully follows James into the kitchen. “Do you mind we-?” 

“Shh, I’m proving I’m a badass tree. And another thing!” 

That earns him two quiet laughs from his shoulder while James shoos him away. “We’ll argue who’s the better tree later. Make yourself useful and find the cake mix.” 

Eggs makes his hand talk in time with the doctor’s words, but he also begins his search for the box required to make a certain cake that apparently neither of their resident borrowers have had the chance to eat. He’s actually a little curious how Fritz managed to get his hands on a piece of vanilla cake. 

With how careful the teenager is, he doesn’t think it was a proper crumb. It would’ve been from the floor. That hadn’t been cleaned in days. Hours after it was made and being exposed to the air that would’ve hardened it so it can’t even be considered cake anymore. 

Damn, he’s surprised the vanilla flavor could actually be tasted. 

“How do you make a cake?” Caleb pipes up. 

“See there’s something called chemical reactions.” 

“We are not teaching them chemistry,” James calls from the fridge. “You have to start with the scientific method.” 

Eggs sighs loudly as he snatches the cake mix out of the pantry, gently slamming the door closed. “Sorry Caleb, Dr. Stiller says we’re not allowed to have any fun.” 

“I think it’s safe to assume they don’t know what atoms are. Therefore are unfamiliar with molecules and bonding. I.e., educate them so they completely understand what a chemical reaction is.” 

Eggs will admit, he’s a bit jealous James can spout all that off at the same time he’s measuring out how much water they’ll need, the eggs and jar of icing waiting patiently next to a bowl. But ten bucks the doctor’s just showing off. “Nerd.” 

“To answer your question how you expected it,” James smirks, looking over Eggs’ shoulder which is rude, his eyes are- oh shit. Right. Caleb and Fritz are sitting there. “Eggs has cake mix that we add eggs and water with to make the batter. The icing is already made, so we just put it on the cake once it’s been baked.” 

“...you’re going into a cake?” Fritz asks, sounding so genuinely confused and worried Eggs can’t help but laugh. Not even James can help himself. “You just said Eggs!” 

The blond carefully grabs the two off his shoulder as he attempts to stifle his laughter, gently nudges Fritz’s shoulder at his embarrassed look, Caleb seeming just as confused. “Sorry, sorry. We’re not laughing at you, it was just funny. You two really do live in the walls, don’t you?” 

“We said we did,” the redhead defends, pulling his brother into a protective hug, and Eggs feels like an asshole. 

“We’re sorry for laughing,” James murmurs. 

“It was a dick move,” the blond agrees. He sets his hand down on the counter, Caleb leading Fritz off for the two to stand close together. It’s impossible to miss the blush on the older’s face despite his two inch stature. “Teasing went too far, we’ll be model gentlemen.” 

“That’ll last for ten minutes.” 

“Bet it’ll last twenty.” 

Fritz still doesn’t look up from his shoes, and Caleb refuses to give a smile, standing in solidarity with his brother. Now he really feels like an asshole. 

Eggs kneels down in order to be eye level with them. Snags an egg and sets it a respectful distance away so they don’t have to worry about it rolling them over. 

“This wonderful object is an egg. I’m named after a dish that requires multiple eggs called Eggs Benedict.” 

Finally green eyes look up to meet his gaze. “You’re, named after food?” 

“The greatest food of all time in my opinion,” he winks. 

Fritz shuffles in place. “So, that’s why they’re yelling your name all the time?” 

“Gets confusing, right?” Eggs shrugs. “The life of having the best name ever. But it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.” 

There’s the smile he was looking for. Still embarrassed from never connecting the dots, but they should’ve expected Fritz specifically to be unfamiliar with something like that. They haven’t exactly asked where the redhead’s lived before the restaurant. And they haven’t asked the two what they’ve eaten before, case in point the fact they’re currently making a cake. 

“And I know we’re assholes, but don’t hesitate to ask about anything else. James’ll know the answer.” 

“What am I, an encyclopedia?” 

“Ha! I don’t even know what that is!” 

“Eggs will have to ask me questions as well,” the doctor grumbles. He snatches the egg from Eggs ha and cracks it against the counter before putting the yolk in the bowl, tossing the shell into the trashcan before repeating the process with the second one. “Remember, when you’re dealing with eggs, always wash your hands when you’re finished.” 

Caleb looks up at Eggs happy to let James do all of the work. “Both kinds of eggs?” 

“Especially when dealing with that one.” 

“Hey!” 

“I’ll take it back if you add the water, mix, and stir.” 

That earns angry grumbles as Eggs opens the box, cutting the bag for the mix open in order to dump it into the bowl. Pours the water on top before mixing it all together. He glances down at the two borrowers to make sure he’s not spilling anything over them, grinning at the wide eyes watching the batter slowly come together. Reminds him of when each Eggling saw the magic of cooking and baking. 

He doesn’t notice James snagging the cake pan until he hears the sound of oil being sprayed, looking over to see the doctor standing at the opposite end of the kitchen. 

“What was that for?” Caleb asks. 

“That’s to keep the batter from sticking to the pan as it bakes.” Eggs shoos James away from the pan once it’s set down, pouring in the chocolate goodness in so the question can be focused on. “I sprayed it over there so you didn’t breathe it in.” 

“And how do you know to do that?” Fritz tags in. 

James brings the box of mix closer to them as he kneels down. Which excuse him Eggs needed to read the temperature for the oven. “We’re following this recipe. It told us how many eggs and how much water we needed. Tells us which pan to use, to spray it in baking oil, and this pan needs 425 degrees.” 

Eggs’ dramatic waving toward the oven pauses at the emphasized words, quick to put in the proper information so it starts preheating. Which they should’ve done first but hey! It’s an experience! And they are far from being master's at baking a cake. Or any baking in general. Might as well add cooking to that, too. 

With that done, he tiptoes over to the bowl. Grabs the spoon with the intent to eat the batter when he meets Caleb’s eyes watching with interest. 

He pivots so the spoon is offered to the little boy. “Want a taste?” 

Instead of trying it, Caleb looks up at James giving the batter a distrustful look. “Can we?” 

“...I’m trying to do mental calculations.” 

Eggs stares. “For...” 

“The effect salmonella could have on them,” the doctor says ominously. “Specially how likely it is based on their size to ours, and considering there’s two eggs-” 

“James, you’re scaring the kids,” Eggs whispers, sending a pointed look down at Fritz who seems three seconds away from snatching Caleb from the spoon. “It’s just a tiny sample! Literally!” 

“And I don’t have any good information on their health, how certain diseases can effect them, or-” 

“We d-don't get sick,” Fritz announces. “From food I mean.” 

Caleb nods his head in agreement. “We’ve eaten pizza humans got sick from, but we didn’t! Fredbear agrees, too!” 

Eggs watches as James has to fight with himself from either asking even more questions and possibly seeing if they can do a full exam, or to go against everything he’s learned from medical school and give the go ahead. Maybe it’s both. 

“One dip of your finger,” the doctor finally relents. 

Neither of them argue, following his request to the letter. Both of their eyes light up at the taste, meaning Eggs then takes the spoon back in order to lick the entire thing, earning a very disapproving look. 

“I hope you get salmonella.” 

“My name is Eggs. I’m part egg. It’d be impossible for me to get it.” 

“Oh really?” James begins. “Part egg, huh? Maybe we should put you into the next cake we make.” 

“You wish,” Eggs grins. “I would make the greatest cake ever.” 

A loud beeping announces the oven’s finally ready, the blond wiggling his fingers at James to put the cake in and set the timer. Leaving him with Fritz and Caleb watching him with worried looks. 

“Is there batter on my face?” 

“You’d, want to be part of a cake?” Fritz says almost too quietly to be heard. 

Well fuck. He keeps forgetting how terrifying that can sound due to them being able to end up in someone’s pizza or soda without any trouble. Which none of the guards would ever do if the two didn’t want that to happen. Excluding freak accidents, but they’ve all been working hard to be extra careful. 

“No one will ever go into a cake even if we could,” he smiles. Doesn’t admit that kind of sounds fun. And who else could say they’ve done something like that! Not to mention it’d be comedy gold! “James and I are just teasing.” 

Note to self, talk to Scott about what topics they should avoid. 

In their defense, this has been the first time Caleb and Fritz have been out for more than just a few minutes. They pop in every now and then, but only when the restaurant is closed with every other person on staff home. Get a little too antsy when they’re out in the open for two long. Have stuck to a fairly strict ‘curfew’ for Friday nights when everyone is here. 

They’ll figure it out! Slowly but surely. Seriously, Scott’s slacking on his dad duties, he’s supposed to make sure all of his children get along together! 

James appears after being gone way too long for just putting the cake in the oven. And to Eggs’ horror, he sees the bowl of left over batter missing. He wasn’t done eating from that! “The cake will be done in about 10 minutes. Do you three want to go find Jeremy and let him know?” 

“Were we not going to tell Scott?” 

Eggs almost jumps at Scott’s voice. One that sounds a little upset. Turning around, he confirm it’s a very disappointed look being aimed toward them. But, it’s not angry. Soooo, that’s a win! 

Now how to get out of this alive... 

“Surprise! Happy Birthday!” 

Scott’s frown turns into a glare shit. “Good guess. Now you’ve got 364 more to go.”

“We were making a cake for Fritz and Caleb,” James quickly explains, gesturing to said frozen borrowers. “It was our idea, not there's.” 

“I would assume so,” Scott continues to glare. “They can’t exactly grab the ingredients and put it into the oven without help.” 

“Th-They were being nice!” Fritz calls across the vast expanse that is the kitchen. “They said you, you w-wouldn't be upset.” 

“They wanted me to try cake for the first time!” Caleb adds. 

Just as Eggs thought would happen, Scott melts. Because he’s just like David, pretending to not care about anything or anyone, but is actually a complete and utter softy. 

“You’re welcome for doing your job as a father,” Eggs sneers. 

And just like that, he fucked himself royally. “Eggs, either start running, or I’m getting Vince.” 

Oh shit. “Bring it, Fossil!” 

Scott bristles before taking a deep breath. “After the cake is done. And please dear God tell me you made sure Caleb and Fritz were safe the entire time.” 

“Entire time,” James butts in, putting a hand over Eggs mouth so he can’t say anything else that will incriminate them. Which doesn’t look suspicious in the slightest. 

It only earns them an eye roll as Scott walks closer to investigate the crime scene, a smile appearing as the two borrowers give hellos. “Have you been keeping them in line?” 

Caleb rapidly nods his head. “We also learned Eggs is a food and they’re used in recipes!”

That’s when Scott seems to finally realize what ‘never having cake before’ actually means. That the two are missing out on more than just deserts. Fritz had been adamant on day one that they wanted to continue borrowing and getting their own food, but with this revelation gently coaxing out an agreement that sometimes they can help out might be needed. Cake is one thing, but they’re both just kids. They’d all like to make sure their resident borrowers are taken care of for as long as they live at Freddy Fazbear’s. 

He’s pretty sure James has a nerdy reason to add on the ‘why’s’. 

“I’ll grab Jeremy so you don’t skip out on any other lessons, deal?” 

“Deal!” they chirp. Caleb ecstatic the cake is almost finished. Fritz relieved they aren’t in trouble. 

Eggs offers his hands as he nods toward the oven. “Want to go see what it looks like?” 

Both of them immediately perk up and dart into his palms. Right as Caleb moves to pull the same stunt from before and climb up his arm, Fritz manages to catch his brother with a battle cry, laughing as a squeal emits. “Oh no you don’t!” 

No time is wasted walking to the baking cake at that, quick to hold up his hands as Caleb manages to worm out of Fritz’s grasp in order to keep the little boy from making a break for his shoulder. Not that he minds! He just can’t see the awed expressions from the favored perch! 

Honestly, it’s adorable how both of them are absolutely entranced by the rising cake. Not wanting to look away even with the sound of Jeremy running into the kitchen. 

“It’s ch-ch-chocolate, right?” 

Eggs raises his eyebrows when Fritz doesn’t jump at the stuttering guard’s voice, only turning to wave in greeting. “Of course, Jer. We’re not monsters.” 

Jeremy gives him a look he thinks is supposed to be a glare after returning Fritz’s wave. “Y-You’d make a vanilla one j-j-j-just to spite me.” 

“...alright that does sound like me.” 

“Where’s the b-batter?” 

“Eggs ate it all,” James says, the blond sputtering as Jeremy immediately turns on him. 

“You jerk!” 

“I did not it was James who put it in the sink!” 

“I can’t trust e-e-e-either of you!” 

“Enough!” Scott suddenly yells, sending all of them glares. “Caleb and Fritz don’t deserve all of you shouting around them. If you’re going to fight, do it in the dining room. And no instigating, James.” 

Right. He forgot about tiny ears. Ones currently having equally tiny hands covering them as they stare up at the giants surrounding them on all sides. But slightly good news? There’s no fear, just apprehension! 

That’s when the timer goes off, everyone but James backing away so the doctor can grab the cake out of the oven. “Uh, sorry about that.” 

“It’s okay,” Fritz offers as he drops his hands, Caleb following suit. “At least you’re not as loud as Mr. Harrison.” 

Wise words. Caleb agrees, nodding sagely. 

Before they can continue bashing on David, James opens the can of frosting, earning everyone’s attention. That’s when he shakes his head. “You can eat it when it’s on the cake. Everyone already had batter with a side of salmonella.” 

Jeremy squawks. “I d-didn't!” 

“You gave the kids uncooked batter?” Scott demands. 

“Oh well look at the time,” Eggs begins, setting his hands on the counter to let Fritz and Caleb off before backing away slowly from the ticking timebomb. “I should go...” 

“A great way to out yourself. Because a doctor would’ve advised against it.” 

“Fredbear said they’d be fine,” the blond counteracts. 

That shuts Scott up. Because the man wouldn’t be a heartless bastard and tell Caleb Fredbear isn’t real. Eggs is definitely getting his ass kicked later but for now he’s safe. Maybe. 50/50 chance Vincent’s going to be summoned. 

James clears his throat. “Who’s helping with the icing?” 

“M-Me,” Jeremy quickly volunteers. Before he grabs a knife, he sets his own hand in front of the borrowers, both of them immediately climbing all the way up to his shoulder. This time Caleb has no trouble with the long sleeve providing plenty of handholds to grab onto. Once they’re both tucked close to his neck, the stuttering guard starts on icing the cake. 

Eggs quickly darts to James’ side as Scott walks closer, hiding behind the doctor as a glare is shot toward him. But he’s not chased, so he’s been allowed to survive for another day. Or maybe just thirty more minutes. 

He will say, Jeremy’s pretty good on coating a still warm cake, none of it coming off onto the knife. He’s also talented in the ways of not throwing borrowers off of his shoulder as he works. 10 out of 10, would choose Jeremy’s shoulder if he was borrower size. 

“N-N-Now how many slices d-do we need?” 

“Think Mike wants some?” James asks. 

“Give him a small one,” Scott says as he grabs a few paper plates with the word 'Celebrate!’ decorating it. Quite fitting considering this is an occasion to celebrate. “And make David’s as big as yours, Jeremy.” 

They end up with seven slices all together. James covers what’s left of the cake as Eggs is laden with four plates, Jeremy oh so courteous to hold the door out of the kitchen open for him and Scott. Sadly he does not slam it on James’ face. 

David gives a questioning look as a large slice is slid in front of him where he sits at a table. “This is what you all disappeared for?” 

“You don’t want cake?” Eggs smirks, reaching out to take it away. The business man doesn’t hesitate to move it out of the blond’s grasp with a glare daring he tries to complete the threat. 

Scott sets the two plates he brought onto the table, nodding toward the hallway Jeremy’s leading Mike out of. “Fritz and Caleb never had chocolate cake before.” 

David goes still. If Eggs didn’t know any better, he’d say there’s concern in the hazel eyes that once looked at the borrowers with nothing but loathing. He doesn’t say anything as everyone finds a seat, but he doesn’t start eating his share until Fritz and Caleb are gifted with a full slice that’s taller and longer than they are. 

Eggs can’t help watching them each take a bite. Grinning as Caleb looks up with pure amazement on his face. “Humans get to eat this all the time?” 

Right. They live at a children’s party center. “Not all the time. Usually for birthdays and holidays.” 

Fritz looks like he wants to ask something but catches himself. “Thank you for sharing one with us.” 

David suddenly leans forward, his hands clasped together like he’s in the middle of making a business deal. “I heard you never had chocolate cake before.” 

Caleb nods, unaffected by the scrutiny, but his brother hunches down into himself. “It’s Cay’s first time eating cake at all.” 

Scott sends David a suspicious look, unsure where this will be taken. He’s only given a glance as the redhead’s focused on. “Are there other things you have yet to try?” 

Now Eggs is confused on where this is going. He thought David was going to try and be a dick, using this as a way to prove the two are ‘pests’ of some sort. His tone isn’t hostile, but it’s not gentle either. It kind of feels like an interrogation. 

“I, uh, c-can't really give a list,” Fritz replies. Having the all too familiar look of wanting to bolt. A hand on the bag he carries everywhere. “You’ve all shared pizza with us, and we’ve had that before. We’ve had fries and lettuce. But...I-I don’t really keep great track.” 

“Are there certain foods you don’t know about?” 

“Yes,” the teenager admits, his face growing red all over again. 

Eggs’ announcement of David being a grade-a douche bag is stopped when the business man turns to Scott. “Didn’t you say you’d be watching over them?” 

“Want to clarify, David?” is growled back. 

“I mean the kids aren’t exactly being cared for like you agreed to do for them,” the business man sighs. And holy shit he does care about Fritz and Caleb. “If I remember correctly, they entrusted you to keep them safe and healthy. I’m no doctor, but I think it’s safe to say they’re not getting the nutrients they need.” 

Scott stares at David for a moment. And while it’s definitely said with an air of arrogance, there’s actual concern lying underneath. Which is something he’d never thought he’d see from their resident douche bag of all people. What did he say! Secretly a giant softy!

“They also said they wanted to continue borrowing.” 

“I didn’t say they had to stop,” David counters with an eye roll. “I thought you are William's right-hand man. You’ve seen plenty of contracts. Get the pests warm food every now and then. You’re not giving handouts, you’re keeping them healthy and treating them with things they couldn’t have before. They have you as a benefactor, and yet I bet letting them eat cake for the first time wasn’t your idea.” 

Eggs makes a quite ‘oooooo’ sound as Scott doesn’t seem to have a comeback. The best part though is the fact David’s not even smug. This shit’s better than his soap operas! 

Even Fritz doesn’t have anything to say. He half expected the older borrower to protest and argue about needing to do things themselves, repeating the speech they’re all familiar with. But David’s a business man through and through, and damn did he find the loopholes. 

Then again, the agreement had been made by a desperate teenager, but credit’s due where credit’s due. 

“Fritz?” 

The two borrowers look at each other. Then they look at David who only waits patiently for a reply, not a hint of a degrading smirk on his face. 

“I don’t...disagree.” 

“Wonderful. Which means you need to step it up, Scott. Try and aim for them giving James permission to take their vitals or whatever the hell doctor’s do.” 

AAAAAnd he ruined it, even Caleb looking a bit scared at what’s being implied. 

“That’s a discussion for another time,” Scott soothes. “We’ll never force either of you to do anything you don’t want. But I’ll get Eggs and James to help out with letting you try new things.” 

Fritz looks at the slice beside him that guaranteed will be given to Jeremy to finish before smiling. “Okay.” 

“Fredbear says David wants to ‘accidentally’ drop frosting on us,” Caleb prophesizes. 

“HOW THE FUCK DID YOU KNOW THAT!” 

“DAVID!"

🌌 MILKY WAY, 🍰 CAKE SLICE, 🚆 TRAIN for all of them? c:

eeep ** thanks dear!!

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Elanor

So, there's a running joke I have with a few friends that the first female character of each game I play - with customizable options - has to be a badass redhead called iterations of the name Lenore, which is the name of my Mass Effect protagonist. I find it hilarious that my Shepard is traveling through realms bringing chaos and a very bad personality. Luckily Ela turned out similar to Lenore only in the physical aspects, mentally they're polar opposites - well, except when it comes to falling for dorks with sarcastic approaches on life << I don't remember the first thing I decided about her, actually, it's been a while. Probably something related to her strength.

Hawke

Just like Ela, he happened very randomly. I remember approaching the game superficially in the first run, like, picking just the diplomatic options and having a mediocre time throughout the story by deciding for the "best" decisions and romancing the "wrong" character. But then I remember @underneathestars mentioned that the humorous personality was super fun and I was like "oh, so I can play as the town's fool! amazing!". Plus, another friend told me that Fenris was the best romance so I was like "yeah, why not, better than [other character]" All the right calls were made and Kerry was such a fun character to play and mentally accessorize! The first thing I decided about him was that he's just Some Dude. No particular skillset, just a big heart and a tendency to put himself in danger because of it.

Ankh

Another child of a second or third or fourth (can't remember) playthrough. I remember wanting a really fun character to engage the environment with but this time with actual competences and that is really doing her best, and more. With her, I fell in love with the game and the franchise in general. The first thing I decided about her was that everything she accomplished, she had to work for it. She isn't afraid of failure, because failure is the first thing she experiences in life and she knows how to take the best tools from it to succeed another day.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

Elanor

Coming from nobility, she has tasted many varieties of cake so she could develop preferences - and be picky about it << I would say something creamy and voluptuous, like those cakes with flavored custard and layers of puff pastry sheets, with fancy fruit on top. She's a fan of delicate scents and flavors when it comes to pastry, but it has to be decadent or else she prefers not to engage.

Hawke

He could eat any cake, really. However, his favorite is a classic: jam tart (onion and fig being his preferred choices for filling).

Ankh

She's lactose and gluten intolerant, plus she can't digest fermented aliments, so her options are very limited when it comes to eating - whenever she doesn't cut them herself because of her eating disorder. Rather than cake she's fond of small pastry. One of the best things she has ever eaten was the thedosian cousin of a cannolo, with fresh ricotta cheese, chocolate chips, and orange slices - she fell super sick after that but, eh, can't really blame her for making such a bad decision.

🚆TRAIN - what is their answer to the trolley problem?

Since the implications of the whole thing are quite complex, I'm going with the regular version (source wikipedia):

"There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two (and only two) options:

Do nothing, in which case the trolley will kill the five people on the main track.

Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

Which is the more ethical option? Or, more simply: What is the right thing to do?"

Elanor

The right thing to do, for her, would be diverting the trolley to kill one person. Hopefully it's Darkspawn

Hawke

Same as Elanor, but he'd make sure to identify the person and take care of their family afterwards

Ankh

Among the three, she's the one that thinks about it for a while before providing an answer. Would make the trolley explode, if the distance is enough to support the idea. Hypotetically, all of the people will be harmed by the explosion but nobody - except her maybe - would die. If the distance isn't enough to plan a thing, she'd do the same as the others. Her first instinct would be looking for a third option tho.

(These are not really "it's none of my business" characters lmao)

A Summoner Birthday

Special Quest: Snow

My, such a picturesque place. I can see why you wanted to bring me here.

Yes. This place may just be zeroes and ones, it's still very special.

You brought Snow to the virtual fairytale world for some fun.

Snow: I have a feeling that we might find something interesting in town. Why don't we stay here?

Lupin: I don't see why not. Let's see what's here.

With that, you and Snow just wonder around Candyland.

A short while later, you and Snow find yourselves at the dessert station where treats are made.

Snow: This looks promising. Perhaps I can make something for my darling master here. I wonder how it enters the real world.

Lupin: Kurogane says the food here can be printed in the real world. If you really want to bring it back to Claude.

Snow: That's marvelous. Perhaps we shall make a chocolate soufflé. It's one of his favorites.

Lupin: Okay, let's do it.

And so, you and Snow begin working on your soufflés.

As you work on your soufflé, you see Snow's is a bit too perfect.

Lupin: You know, it never hurts to be a little creative. I'm sure even Claude would understand.

Snow: Oh, I could never do that. I don't want to do anything that may not turn out well for my darling master.

Lupin: So you won't even decorate it?

Snow: ... Well, I might add some touches to it to make it look grand. Nothing is too good for my darling master.

Lupin: Here, why don't I help you?

A little later after your soufflés are backed, the time came to decorate them. You decided to add whipped cream and top it off with a strawberry. Then, you look over to Snow's soufflé which he simply covers in powdered sugar.

Lupin: Is that all? Remember what I just said.

Snow: Forgive me.

Snow looks around to see what else he could put on his soufflé. Finally, his eyes land on a bowl of cherries.

Snow: How about these cherries? They seem different enough.

Lupin: It's a good start. How about these?

You show Snow a bowl of orange slices.

Snow: (unsure) I'm not sure how my darling master would react to oranges. How about these mint leaves? They seem nice.

Lupin: That would make it a little too minty. But I suppose if you want garnish, these lemon balm leaves might do the trick.

Snow: Or maybe these lavender sprigs. But then again, it's now the master's color. Maybe these rose petals?

Lupin: That could work, too.

So, you help Snow decorate his soufflé for Claude. When you are finished, you see that Snow's soufflé might look a little out there.

Lupin: Well, at least it's not plain.

Snow: I'm not sure. Will my darling master like this? I found that sometimes, simplicity is key.

Lupin: How about a taste test? Then we might see.

So, you and Snow taste the soufflé... It did not taste the way neither of you expected.

Lupin: (a bit disgusted) Ugh. The lemon balm did not go well with the chocolate.

Snow: (also a bit disgusted) Or the cherries.

Lupin: I guess just adding powdered sugar was somewhat a good idea. Maybe we should try again.

A little later, you and Snow remake his soufflé in which you just add powdered sugar. It tasted just wonderfully.

Lupin: (pleased) You were right. Simplicity is key.

Snow: I am glad to hear it. But what of your soufflé? Are you planning to present it to Wakan Tanka?

Lupin: I'm not sure. As an athlete, he usually eats healthy things. And when he does eat sweets, it's usually small chocolates or vanilla ice-cream. He even takes the occasional fruitcake. The only time he would eat something like this is during Christmas and that's usually short cake. I think this will be the first time I'll be giving him something like this.

Snow: Well, I'm sure whatever you give him, he will love it, since it came from you.

Lupin: I'm sure he will.

Snow: Though I must say, with my soufflé, it was nice to express myself a bit.

Lupin: I don't think I've ever seen you express yourself that much. You usually just do things for Claude.

Snow makes a small smile, knowing this is true.

Snow: I rarely show just who I really am to others, including my darling master. But when I met you, I sometimes find it hard to bottle up my emotions. Then, I have to remember that some emotions are not meant to be bottled up. There will come a time when you must set those emotions free. You showed me that.

Lupin: I just don't think that Claude would want to be with someone who isn't true to himself. I know I wouldn't.

Snow: Yes. I opened up to you and you love me for it. I often wonder if I should do the same with my master. Should I be true to myself in front of him? I feared I would not like the answer. But perhaps maybe I could be wrong. I want to be honest with him. I know you are honest with him.

Lupin: Yeah. When I first met you and Claude, I didn't know what to think. I always thought you both were just these hard-hearted Guild Masters just because your Guild fights a lot. But after getting to know you, I now know there is more to you than what you seem. You included.

Snow: Yes. It's times like these... I'm happy that you came into my master's study and told the truth. I think you for that. It shows just how much that I love you and him.

Lupin: (happy) And I love you, two.

You both embrace each other. Though his name is Snow, you have never felt such warmth from him, save for Wakan Tanka. You both know how much your hearts are connected.

After putting the last touches on your soufflés, you both decide to return home.
