ANYWAY a loooooong time ago on atbb around the time karma got his newer facial scars and was talking about how he wouldn't be getting them healed properly, somebody sent in a question asking if he was one of those people who thought scars were hot. and obviously i didnt answer at the time because 1. there is not a world in which that kind of question would have fit the events going on at the time and 2. i honestly just wasn't sure at the time but was leaning on the side of Probably Not. however i've been thinking about different things about his character in the last few months and ive realized actually. maybe they were on to something and i just didnt know him that well yet

They were inches away from each other, about to kiss, when someone suddenly crashed into Trysta, causing her to stumble. In a moment of awkwardness, she stumbled into Negan, but quickly regained her balance and playfully pressed against his chest, chuckling softly while looking up at him.

“Well... that’s embarrassing.” Giving him a sheepish grin, she lifted a hand to rub at the back of her neck, taking a step back to give him some space. “Honestly, no one watches where they’re goin’ around here.”

nov 6th - holy cow

today was a bit of a haze.. morning test today was slightly darker than yest but still SOOO SOO faint that k could barely acknowledge it was there. Testing on wondfo early result which i'm learning is rubbish for getting easy-to-see lines early on, though they are there if you're crazy like me.

my mindset all day - through a very busy busy day mind you - was thus: i am pretty sure this is a pregnancy (separate from the ovidrel trigger) but i am also about 50/50 on whether or not it will progress much - aka i had a pit in my stomach i just "knew" it would be a chemical pregnancy. "that's just more consistent with my type of luck, the kind of thing that would happen to me". i spent yesterday morning grief-rage crying.

and then after a 1.5hr long very dragged out bedtime routine with p just now involving TWO meltdowns.......... i decided to POAS one last time in the name of being able to sleep better tonight bc then i would be able to 'let it truly go'.

and then i got these (the last one in the row + i took an FRER)

which, after ahem ahem having spent the whole of the past 36 hours scouring the internet for reference pics/data, I feel are totally modest + comfortable lines for where i am, which is prob. 10.5-11 dpo

and definitely a progression from the last few days.

if i had to guess, this is prob 40-50 miu/mL. BANGIN'

so i feel that i'm back in the game.

i'm going nuts! allowing myself to feel some type of hope. and definitely trying to be better about letting myself wish my wish + let it be without pre-empting or protecting against it.

i even messaged the fertility clinic to see if they'd do a beta for me without insurance

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WTFFFFFF IS THIS EVEN REAL

no matter what happens, i'm able to be grateful that we got this far. we got pregnant. it's the freaking ovidrel man. we didn't even do an IUI this time. take my $100. 2/2 pregnancy rate.

[deeptrashwitch]

Ahem...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! THIS IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!

I just love Kanoa being such a sweet and supportive friend! Oh God, he's such a sweetheart! I love their friendship, seriously 🥹 I love them so so much!

And the way he's ready to stay there for Alicia all the time she needs, it's seriously adorable. Also, his hunch of: "something's wrong, let's get inside RIGHT NOW.", 10/10 friend 😌

Thanks for answering, Taro! I love this a lot 💖💗

Tarooooo!! How would Kanoa would react if, during a training with Alicia, they part ways for some hours and the next time he has hints of Alicia is when he passed near a basement? Maybe by some kind of accident the door closed and trapped her inside, and despite she was banging on the door, it wasn't heard until Kanoa went looking for her.

When Kanoa opens the door and enters the basement, it's almost pitch black. And even then, he can notice Alicia's silhouette curled up against a wall. As soon as he gets near her, she looks up with absolute fear in her eyes.

"No more." She begs, trembling as she hugs herself, lost in the panic. "Please, no more. Just stop it, please."

Basically, when Alicia accidentally ended locked on the basement, it brought back traumatic memories from Angola. And since it lasted for hours, it just dragged her even deeper in her panic.

Talofa Wiiiiiiiitch! And oh my goodness! Alicia! The poor baby! 🥺

Ok! Kanoa DID have a feeling that Alicia wasn’t around. So he went to look for her and asked some of her recruits if they had seen her. Until one of them mentioned that she went to get something from the basement.

It shouldn’t take THAT long to get something from down there, right? Or maybe she was still looking for it. He didn’t think much but he went there anyway. To see if Alicia needs help. (Which she DEFINITELY need one)

When Kanoa saw that the basement door was closed, he thought that Alicia might’ve left. But something in his heart that it feels like it’s telling him to check inside QUICKLY. So he went without questioning.

And as soon as he opened the door, everything was pitched black. He doesn’t know why and he tried to find the light switch but saw that the light wasn't working. He needs to talk to Alicia about finding someone to fix it. And that’s when he heard a sniffle.

He was confused to hear SOMEONE crying. So he stepped inside further in, trying to adjust his eyesight as he saw a figure, curling up against the wall.

“Um…hello?” Kanoa tried to get that person’s attention but saw they did not respond. And as soon as he stepped closer, he saw it was Alicia. “Licia? Oh my god. What happened? Why are you curling up like this?”

And when Kanoa crouched down and reached out to her to tap her. He felt a bit surprised to see Alicia turning around and was scooting away from him. He was VERY confused until he saw her eyes. Her eyes were filled with FEAR.

“Licia…?”

“No…n-no more…please…” Alicia’s voice trembled like a broken record. “Please…no more…Just stop it, please…”

Kanoa was just crouching there to see his dear friend was tearing up and was shaken. It suddenly gave him a flashback. Back to where he had found Tiala from that mission. Seeing his sister, laying on that very hospital bed, all shaken and trembling when she saw him. Those eyes filled with fear and horror when she saw Kanoa. Showing how much they PAIN his poor sister.

And now seeing that image onto Alicia. The reflection of his friend. He could tell whoever had done it to her. They did her BADLY. And it gives him the urge to reach out to her but not too sudden. Because experiencing from the past of someone who has trauma. He needs to take it nice and slow.

“Licia. I won’t hurt you. I won’t touch you unless you want me to.” Kanoa’s voice started to soften on the shaken Alicia. He sat down on the ground while folding his legs as he gave her a soft smile. Reaching his hand out to her. “I promise I won’t do anything to you. I just want to talk.”

Imagining Alicia was just staring at him and then onto his hand. She hesitated before hearing his soft voice. It had slowly snapped her out of her traumatic imagination before seeing her best friend. Her tears still poured down as she reached out for his hand and took it.

Kanoa just smiled at her as he gently pulled her over and let her sit on his lap. “I’m here, Alicia. I’m here. And I won’t hurt you. I won’t harm you. You are safe.” His soft voice had gently gone through her ears as his friend started to relax.

Alicia closes her eyes a bit and lays her head against his chest. “I’m sorry…” Is what she said. Feeling so weak and embarrassed that Kanoa had to see her like this.

“Why are you saying sorry? You were just having that episode.” Kanoa said as he comforted her while rubbing her side. “I don’t blame you for it. We all have that. So don’t you dare saying sorry for something that you tried to get through. And I’m here for you every step of the way.”

Alicia had lifted her head up to look at her caring friend. Seeing his smile before getting a friendly kiss on top of her head. She smiled a bit and started to snuggle up against him. “Can…Can we stay like this for a bit?”

“As LONG as you need, o la'u uo.”

AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I was SUPPOSED to answer it NORMALLY but I can’t help it but to make it out of the story! Ugh! Anyway, I hope this answers your question! I really do enjoy these two! Their friendship has my HEART! Thank you, pele! Love ya!

Once the last match was concluded, an announcement was made overhead to take a short break before heading out onto the field. However, since you managed to score yourself a place in the top four, you had to go to a specific area to get ready for the awards ceremony. You waved goodbye to your classmates before making your way down, thankfully not getting lost along the way.

You were met with a crazy sight once you arrived, your jaw dropping while making eye contact with--

Bakugou?

“Uh,” you point at his raging form, who only shouts more once he sees you, “what’s going on with him?”

“GLOW WORM, MELT THESE FUCKING RESTRAINTS OFF RIGHT NOW--”

“Bakugou is being, well, uncooperative,” Midnight sighs, rubbing her temple, “we were forced to use.. Extreme measures to insure he doesn’t hurt himself or any-”

“I’LL FUCKING HURT YOU IF YOU DON’T-”

You hold back a gasp as what looks like a muzzle is placed around his mouth by another staff member, choosing to look back at Midnight as he rages even harder.

“He’s been like this since he woke up. He still has to accept the first place prize, he did win after all.”

Next to Bakugou was Todoroki, as calm and collected as ever, a wild contrast compared to the former. Todoroki looks at you, and you feel your heart squeeze. You wanted to say something, but the words you had to say were a conversation for another day. You look away, getting on top of the third place concrete podium. 

“Now that you’re all here and in place, I’ll be heading back up to the grounds to do the announcing! Relax kiddos, and Bakugou… Please calm down.”

“Uh, Midnight, wasn’t I supposed to share this with Iida? What do you mean we’re all here?”

“Oh,” she stops and looks at you, “Iida had some family thing come up, he had to leave early. Don’t worry, he’ll still get the recognition. Just enjoy the awards ceremony, okay?”

You nod as she takes her leave, wondering what could have possibly happened for him to miss this.

“Hakamata.”

You snap your head to the right, looking past the still struggling Bakugou and lock eyes once more with Todoroki. Blinking in surprise, you bring a hand up to your mouth in a nervous habit.

“Yes?”

“…Thank you.”

You stare at him with confusion, unsure why he was thanking you. At the beginning of all of this, he was determined to think of you as nothing more than a pest--

But now…

“Oh, uhm-”

“MMFMAMUPH!”

Muffled screams cut you off, and you shake your head with an amused laugh as Bakugou extends his leg to try to kick Todoroki. The boy just sighs, stepping to the side to be out of the others reach, eyes then looking straight ahead and ignoring everything.  

Your father always did talk about the importance of appearances after all.

“Geez Bakugou-” His attention snaps to you, and you awkwardly laugh and figure you shouldn’t say anything else in fear of him losing his cool even more.

The ground shakes slightly after; a muffled voice speaking above announcing the start of the awards ceremony causes you to stand tall, with arms shoved into your pockets to avoid them awkwardly hanging by your sides. You made sure to throw your jacket back on, along with fixing yourself up, so you know you didn’t look terrible despite the few bandages along your arms and face.

The sound of fireworks and cheering now more clear as you settle above the ground, the students in the field surround the front of the podium--

Front row seats.

The attention makes you freeze momentarily, but you relax when you realize all eyes are on Bakugou. You hear the said boy struggle harder, causing you to awkwardly look away as if you didn’t know him. 

“In addition to (y/n) Hakamata, there is also Tenya Iida in third place, who was unable to be here due to family reasons! Thank you for understanding,” Midnight winks at the camera, “Now, we will award the medals! The presentation will, of course, be by the one and only--”

She was cut off by booming laughter, and you look up to see the eccentric number one hero jump off the roof and land smoothly in front of the winners podium. Midnight offers the awards, allowing AllMight to take them with his ever-present smile before walking over to you. You can’t help the excited blush that spreads across your cheeks as he jumps onto your slab of concrete.

“Ah, young Hakamata, congratulations,” he places a bronze medallion around your neck, the weight of it against your chest brings a feeling of pride, “You are a wonderful young lady, one who has shown strength, courage, and intelligence in your battles.”

“Thank you…”

“Don’t look so down!”

You let out a squeak of surprise as AllMight pulls you into a soft hug, giving your head a few encouraging pats. 

“I can tell you feel frustrated; you see, sometimes our quirks don’t work the way we want them to, and the setbacks they provide frustrate us to no end. You want to do more than what you can handle, and with a bit of training I’m sure you can mold your quirk to be what you want it to. Setbacks will be less frequent, and you’ll prevail in the end. Don’t let this stop you from achieving what you want, young Hakamata.”

You shyly wrap your arms around the hero, as far as your arms could go anyway, basking in his warmth before pulling away. He pulls away as well, giving you a softer grin than before and a thumbs up for good measure. 

“Thank you sir!”

AllMight moves to give Todoroki his second place medal, and you stare straight ahead across the sea of faces. Thoughts swirl in your head, but for once you’re at peace.

For once, you finally feel like you’ve proven you’re enough.

Even if your dad has told you over and over of your worth, ever since he found out what she did to you all those years, you’ve always had that doubt in the back of your mind. 

But now, by making it on your own, you felt like you didn’t have much left to prove.

Besides becoming a better hero than she could ever be, of course. 

“Now, young Bakugou!”

You break free from your thoughts as the winner of the tournament screams as soon as his makeshift muzzle is taken off. Deadpanning as AllMight is forced to put the ribbon in his mouth, as he dodged the attempts to place it around his neck.

“You’re so stubborn Bakugou…” Your whisper, which was meant to be unheard, was anything but as Bakugou’s feral gaze lands on your form. 

You look away, whistling innocently as AllMight made his ending speech.

“Well, they were the winners this time! But listen here, anyone could have ended on these podiums. It’s just as you saw, competing! Improving each other! And climbing even further! The next generation of heroes is definitely growing! So, I have one more thing to say! SAY IT WITH ME!”

“PLUS ULTRA!-”

“THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!”

“...ALLMIGHT-”

-----

The day was over, but you still had to change back into your uniform and head to your classroom to receive instructions. You sighed, finally feeling the fatigue kicking in sitting at your desk, half listening to Aizawa as he drones on about ProHero recruitment and having the rest of the school week off to recuperate. 

You weren’t worried about the internships, knowing you could always go with your dad to his.  

The class was dismissed and you walked out of the school, hand coming up to cover the yawn that left your lips. You couldn’t wait to go home, to eat a big dinner and take a nice hot bath--

“Hakamata.”

You turn around, confused to see Todoroki there. It was weird, he’s called out to you many times today...

He seems to hesitate, standing in front of you. You raise a brow, wondering what could have the Shoto Todoroki talking to you casually about. Sure, you cheered him on, stopped him in the hallways to personally wish him luck..

Granted, you suppose you have been calling out to him plenty of times as well.

“Ah, Todoroki? What’s wrong?”

He also did fix your arm, when he could have easily let you deal with it-

Oh no, was this about listening in on him with Bakugou?

He couldn't have found out about you spying on him, could he have!? 

“Hakamata, I need to ask you-”

“Shoto.”

You mutter a thank you, looking back at Todoroki who glared at the Pro.

A booming voice cuts him off, and you can see the way Todoroki tenses at the sound. You turn your head, gaze locking with the infamous Endeavor once more.

“Ah, it’s you again,” his voice sounds smug, and you think back to the previous conversation you had with the pro, “good to see you again. Congratulations on third place.”

“Todo-”

“I’ll see you at school, Hakamata.” 

His tone is short and stiff as he walks away, past his father who continues to stare at you. He grins, eyes narrowing in thought before he turns and walks away.

“Yes, see you soon, Hakamata-san.”

You watch as Todoroki’s fists clench by his sides at the words, yet saying nothing as they both disappear from view. 

You're nervous, annoyed, pissed, and concerned all at once, not knowing what to do. You had half the intention to run at him and once again give him a piece of your mind--

“(y/n) sweetheart, there you are.”

A smoother voice brings you out of your state of unease, and you turn with a smile.

“Dad! I thought you had to go back to the agency!”

He laughs, hands smoothing your hair down and eyes holding his smile.

“I wanted to take you home, let’s get going. You must be exhausted.”

You hum in agreement, holding your father's arm as he walks you to the car he brought. 

“I’m proud of you, you fought hard today.”

“It was all thanks to you.” You say honestly, thinking of every single moment your dad has ever been there for you. 

“Don’t brush off your accomplishments, sweetheart, you did this on your own.” His words are stern yet soft, letting you know he meant what he said.

You only hum once more in agreement, letting him open the door for you as you shuffle into the backseat, him following after and closing the door while letting the driver know he could go.

‘If only you knew how much hope you’ve really given me... Thank you, dad.’

Wake Up Call (Pt. 1)

This is very nsfw, just forewarning y’all now.

We’re goin with PT 1 just in case I wanna do other things with it 😉

Lyra slowly sat up, blearily attempting to roll the sleep from her eyes, her mind a jumbled fog of grogginess and plans for the day ahead.

An odd, pleasurable sensation vibrated up her spine, drawing a smirk to her face as she noticed the head between her thighs.

"Ah, Nadia? What are...ahhhhh...what are yah doing? Not that I'm complaining, but?" Lyra chuckled, biting her lip as she pulled back the covers.

Nadia's tan skin glowed under the light of the rising sun streaming in from the glass balcony doors, her bright red eyes catching the golden rays. Her long, dark purple braid brushed against her thigh, the messy flyways an indicator of the previous night's actions.

"Well, well, well, good morning my love." She greeted, offering a mischievous wink before returning to what was doing, taking hold of Lyra's hips.

"I...ohh...okay, I'm just not gonna question it." Lyra sighed, resting back against the large number of pillows that adorned their bed.

"What? Can I not please my new wife? After all, you were so good for me last night." Nadia said innocently, hot breath tickling Lyra's core.

Lyra couldn't help the hot blush that rapidly overtook her face and chest, the red tinge drawing a laugh from her partner.

"I still can't believe we're married."

The countess paused, eyes locking onto Lyra's, her expression immediately softening, leaving a trail of open mouth kisses up her stomach and to her lips.

"I love you, Lyra. And I will have to admit the same, I still can't believe it myself...now if you'll excuse me, I believe I was in the middle of pleasuring my beautiful wife." Nadia admitted, playfully wiggling her eyebrows and making her way back between her legs.

Lyra gasped as Nadia found her clit, fingers digging into her inner thighs as her tongue swirled around the bundle of nerves.

"Does that feel good, darling?"

Lyra groaned, a hand drifting down to brush a piece of hair out of Nadia's face.

Nadia barely masked her amusement, giving her thigh a playful squeeze while another snaked up to do the same with her breasts.

Lyra squirmed, whimpers brushing past her lips as she clawed at the sheets under her, hissing at the loss of contact.

"You didn't answer your queen." Nadia chided lightly, leaving her hands where they were and resting her chin on her Lyra's stomach.

Lyra propped herself up on her elbows, quickly flicking out a leg to place it on Nadia's shoulder.

"Did mah moanin like a complete idiot not answer the question yah or?" She replied, deadpanning, the throbbing between her legs driving her mad.

The equally serious expression on Nadia's face sent a rush of adrenaline through her veins. Lyra knew that Nadia was a... dominant person in all aspects of her life. She normally didn't mind, she and Nadia's personalities balanced out perfectly. But, occasionally, Lyra liked to poke some fun at Nadia, just to see what she'd do.

Nadia deftly grabbed Lyra's wrists, still completely serious as she tied her hands to the bedframe with the sash of her robe.

"What were you saying dear?"

Lyra clenched her teeth, forcing herself to not laugh as she met Nadia's gaze, the latter sitting on her hips to admire her work.

"I believe you were thah one talking, Dia." Lyra rebutted, leg flopping back down to the bed.

Nadia let laughter sneak past her lips, shaking her head, braid tickling her sides,

"Well then, forgive me, Ly. Allow me to continue to make it up to you."

Lyra relaxed, fingers and toes curling as Nadia returned to her clit. back arching off the bed. She tried to swallow her moans and little noises, shuddering at the contact with her aching core.

"I don't understand how I ended marryin the most beautiful creature on the planet."

Lyra huffed, lifting her head to shoot Nadia a glare.

"You've looked...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...in the mirror right? I'm constantly in awe of yah, my darlin." She breathed, eyes fluttering closed.

"I...ahem...I am aware of what people say about me."

"But I'm saying that about yah." Lyra insisted, holding onto the sash.

Nadia paused again, vermillion eyes looking her up and down in a silent gesture of mischievous argument and adoration.

“Sounds like I picked the right Cajun then.” Nadia relented, smirking against her thigh.

Lyra raised an eyebrow, choking back a laugh as Nadia flicked the piercing adorning her nipple.

“I also still can’t believe you sat through that.”

“I can assure yah it wasn’t fun.” Lyra had to agree, biting down on her lip as long fingers slowly pushed through her entrance.

“Now back to what I was intending to do.”

❨ ☁ ❩ Here’s a little update ! Apologies for the general lack of presence. I have a habit of working myself into the ground when it comes to my job && have little to no time for rest or play afterward. But thanks to a helping hand ( or really a kick in the butt . . . ) I’m learning to balance the two.  Been flitting from the site from mobile to web && it seems I’m getting that problem where it unfollows from folks. So if you see a recent follow from myself && we were mutuals, pay it no mind ! As always thank you for your patience. This weekend is going to be dedicated to being a hermit && some well deserved relaxation. ( blog love as well )

Even after eight months of being together, Elain still got butterflies in her stomach whenever she saw Azriel. A wave of utter happiness would wash over her just in his presence. He was everything she dreamed of wanting—even went as far as believing that she had too high of expectations until she met him. But after everything Graysen had put her through, Elain felt like she owed it to herself to find someone who truly cared for her.

And care for her he did. Azriel was attentive, affectionate, kind, loyal, considerate, and indescribably good in bed. The love, the pleasure she received from him was beyond her imagination.

After just six months, they moved in together, buying their first home. It wasn’t fancy—a small cottage-like house with a garden in the back and planters around the front. Sitting on just the outskirts of Velaris, it gave them the privacy they enjoyed while still not being too far from their jobs.

Elain maintained the garden, bringing it back to life and flourishing practically every kind of flower one could think of, while Azriel worked on the house in the areas that needed a little TLC. She helped him where she could and he always made a point to assist her in the garden when he was able to.

They truly made the perfect team in building their life, their home, together.

Shadow was growing out of his kitten stage, though he was still as loveable as he was when he was young. He had taken to Azriel exceptionally well—to the point that Elain sometimes became jealous of the attention Az received from her baby.

By the time she arrived at their home that night, it was close to seven. Cerridwen was out sick and since the wedding of the Whitethorn-Galathynius’s, her bakery had taken off. Elain was in the process of finding more help, but had yet to hire anybody; so, she was responsible for taking on the extra work when one of her two employees was ill. She was bone-tired and looking for some much-needed R&R with her boyfriend and little furball.

Opening the front door, she called out, “I’m home!”

“Living room,” Azriel grunted back.

Tossing her keys into the ceramic bowl by the door, she kicked off her shoes and went in search of her man, wondering why he sounded like he did.

What Elain didn’t expect to see was Azriel in the middle of their living room doing pushups, Shadow curled up on his bare back dozing despite the movements. Her brows shot into her hairline. Pursing her lips in an attempt not to laugh at the little show, Elain asked, “What exactly is going on here?”

Azriel dropped onto his stomach, breathing heavily as he looked up at her with his chin propped on his wrist. “I was trying to work out, but somebody was incredibly needy today.” He glanced over his shoulder at the cat still lying on his back. “It started when I was doing sit-ups. He leaped onto my chest and stayed tucked there until I finished. Then I put him on the floor and he jumped onto my back when I switched to pushups.”

Elain giggled, walking further into the room, and plucked the black ball of fur from his back.

Shadow peeked open an eye at her, meowing once before he snuggled into her chest.

“Hi, my sweet boy. Were you bothering daddy when he was trying to work out?” she cooed, kissing his little head.

Azriel rolled onto his back and sat up, resting his arms around his knees. “Thank God. I would’ve been stuck there until he got off or you removed him.”

Laughing, she bent at the waist and dropped a kiss onto his lips. “You could’ve just rolled to the side and made him slide off.”

He huffed, standing up. “And what kind of a father would I be if I just pushed him off me?”

She raised a single brow, shooting him a sly grin. “You’re going to spoil our future children rotten, aren’t you?”

Azriel laughed, the sound deep and joyful. “Oh, absolutely.”

Elain shook her head, sighing to herself but still amused. “At least they will be thoroughly loved.”

Wrapping her and Shadow into his arms, Az kissed the side of her head. “The most loved children the world will ever see.”

She hummed in contentment.

“I’m going to shower. Dinner is in the oven if you want to take a peek at it before feeding Shadow.” Tilting his head forward, he kissed her again.

“Sounds good. I’ll be in in a few to change.” Elain twisted on her heel, making her way to the kitchen.

* * *

Azriel waited until Elain was in the kitchen before he headed for their bedroom. Going to his dresser, he opened the top drawer with all his socks and rooted around to the back corner where a small, black box was currently being stored. Pulling it out, he flicked open the lid to look at the engagement ring he had picked out a month earlier.

It was beautiful—rose-gold colored with a band of leaves at the top, centering on the middle diamond. Azriel picked it because it looked like a flower and knew that Elain would love the simplicity of the style, but resonate with it at the same time. It was so perfectly her, he was enamored by the ring when he first saw it.

Too absorbed by his thoughts, Azriel didn’t hear Elain until she asked him, “What is that?”

He whipped around, snapping the ring box closed, and found her standing in the doorway of their bedroom, face slack with shock. Her eyes were glued to the black container in his palm.

His panic had him stumbling back a step. He hadn’t meant for her to see the ring yet. Had a whole plan for them to have dinner in the garden she created. He was going to string up some twinkling lights, have soft music playing from their portable speaker, cook her a delicious dinner of steak and roasted potatoes paired with an expensive bottle of wine. But all of those plans came crashing down. “Uhh, this isn’t—it’s not what it looks like…”

Her eyes widened at the blatant lie. “Do you want to try that again when you don’t still have the box in my line of sight?”

Azriel didn’t move. Didn’t try and hide the box. He swore lowly. “This isn’t how I wanted to ask you.”

Elain took a small step farther into the room. Swallowing, she questioned him, “How did you want to ask me?”

He sighed, scratching the back of his head. “I had everything all planned out. If I don’t tell you, I can still keep a minuscule amount of the romance in it.” His dry chuckle felt self-deprecating.

She took another step. “Ask me now.”

If Azriel was unexpecting anything today, this would by far be at the top of the list. “I wanted to ask you in the garden. I have twinkly lights hidden in the garage that I was going to put up. I was going to cook you dinner and buy a bottle of wine and tell you how much I loved you.” He shook his head, the corner of his mouth quirking up. “Being half-naked, sweaty from a workout was not what I intended for.”

Moving around the bed so he was directly in front of her, he dropped down to one knee. “Elain Violet Archeron—you have captured my heart since the first day you burst into my apartment chasing after Shadow. I never knew what I wanted out of somebody that I planned to share my life with until I met you.”

She choked up at that, eyes lined with silver.

“When we met, I was struck stupid not just by how beautiful you were, but by how kind and generous you were. How loving and so full of life you were even when you were still dealing with your past. I knew instantly that one day, you would be my wife. The mother of my children. So, the only thing left for me to do is ask you.” He popped open the black box, relishing in her gasp at the ring inside. “Elain, would you do me the greatest honor of marrying me?”

Tear tracks stained her cheeks as she reined in her sobs. “Yes, Azriel. A thousand times yes.”

He rose, hauling her into his chest, and kissed her fiercely. Her soft lips molded to his, sighing into his mouth and granting him access to deepen it with his tongue.

Elain wrapped her arms around his neck, clutching him closely. “I love you so much, Azriel,” she breathed, the words marking his soul and shining like golden rays of sunshine.

With his arms still around her, he flipped the box back open and pulled the ring from its velvet cushion. Releasing her, Az took her left hand and slipped the engagement ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly and he prayed to the mother that he managed to get the size right with all his attempts while she slept. His amber gaze met her bright eyes and he told her, “I love you, Elain. Now and forever.”

When he kissed her again, Azriel sent up a thank you to whoever was listening for letting him move into the apartment across the hallway.
