you call the baby growing in your belly a multitude of things, like lovebug and gum drop and sprout. cute things, that remind you of how tiny it is and how full of joy you are, and the names don't stop even after you find out what you're having.

katsuki doesn't follow along—at first. every silly little term out of your mouth is only met with an arched brow and a small shake of his head, the occasional roll of his eyes and the even rarer uplift of the corner of his lips.

"he," katsuki always continues. "he ain't gonna care what color his room is, do whatever y'want."

there aren't many appointments he's able to make, something you think eats at him more than you. being involved with a pro hero requires all kinds of sacrifices and you both knew that before your relationship started—but facing the realities isn't always easy; it bothers him, in some deep, dark way he's not able to talk about. even with you.

it's hard to tell how he feels at the first one he comes along for: he stands, quietly, eyes glazed over and lingering on the grainy image of your ultrasound, unmoving. when two little feeties are made clear in the picture, he silently crosses his arms and raises a hand to pick at the skin of his bottom lip—a nervous habit, one that gives him something to do and that hides his face just a bit.

he doesn't say anything for a long time. not until you're out in the car with your pictures in hand, going over them in the passenger seat.

"sooooo," you prod, "what'd'ya think? he's kinda...blobby, huh?"

he casts you a lazy glance, comes alive with a slow inhale before holding his hand out for the photos. the one with the little feet sticks out to him and he snorts, the corner of his lip raising. "yeah," he murmurs, before turning his attention back to the road. "but he's just a little bean, ain't he?"

You spin my head around (like a record)

summary: hobie never believed in throwing his money away to useless big corporations. but, when you started working at his favorite record shop, he decided to make a small exception. warnings: slight flirting, terrible british a/n: i love this idea so so much and have many ideas for it so if you want a part 2 let me know!!!

If there was one thing hobie hated most, it was capitalism. Having to spend money on things you didn’t need but were marketed in a way that made you feel like you needed them, pissed him off to no end. Especially when it came to big corporations. He didn’t see the purpose of having to feed these ‘money-hungry pigs’, which would only end up causing harm to everything and everyone that got in their way. The only exception was small businesses. He never gave his money away on anything unless he desperately needed it, but that wasn’t often. Until it came to you.

There was a particular record shop in the middle of the city that he occasionally visited. Mainly because it was the only one near him that actually had his favorite artists. – which were rarely sold due to how ‘underground’ they were. Don’t get me wrong, he liked his fair share of mainstream, popular artists, he just also liked his fair share of small garage punk bands. The kind of small bands you’d find playing at your local pub. But, the point is: that specific record shop was the only one he actually liked. But, that didn’t change his hatred for capitalism. Which meant he wasn’t shy to ‘borrow’ a few cd’s, or vinyls from that shop. Actually, he hadn’t once paid for anything, and he’d never once been caught. That’s just how things were. He’d never planned to feed into society’s corrupt ideations. Never. He would continue to visit that record shop whenever he pleased, but never once considered buying anything. That is, until a new employee started working there.

They were perfect. The living embodiment of utter perfection. Every time Hobie entered the shop he was greeted by a sweet smile from behind the till. Everything that person did drove Hobie crazy. - in the best way imaginable. That person was you. You’d only recently gotten the job, around a few weeks ago. It was simple enough, but it definitely was not your dream job. You only got it because you needed the money, even though the pay was barely enough to get you going for the week, it was something! Despite never once having a proper conversation, Hobie knew he liked you. From your genuine, unrelenting kindness, to your style. He was fond of everything you did. And before he knew it, his occasional visits turned to him visiting whenever he could. Not because he wanted to actually buy anything, but because he wanted to see you. Any chance he got, he would rush straight over to you. It got to a point where he had memorised when you were working and when you weren’t. And now, here he was.

“Are you actually gonna pay this time?” you asked him, familiar with his habit of pocketing cd’s and vinyls and then leaving. You never did anything about it for many reasons. One of which was because you did not get paid enough to deal with it. And also, because he was insanely attractive. He laughed. Not like an actual laugh. But, a small exhale, similar to scoffing. “Maybe I am,” he said, handing you the vinyl. You smiled at him and scanned the record, noticing the familiar album cover. “Oh sex pistols!” you exclaimed, mentally taking note of how his music taste was almost as beautiful as he was. “You’ve got good taste.” you said, before putting the record in a bag. You didn’t notice how he lit up at the sudden compliment; freaking out on the inside, but playing it off well. “You listen to ‘em?” he asked, his heavy accent now very prominent. Your smile never once faltered as you looked back at him. “I love them!” you said. You began to hum the tune to one of their songs, doing a dramatic little dance, which earned a small laugh from him. “You know… It’s surprising that you’re actually buying something for once.” you commented, jokingly but also genuinely. He tilted his head to the side in response. “Oh yeah? How so?”  he leaned against the till, hands in his pockets as he talked with you. “Well, I see you here all the time. - Almost every time I'm working, actually. And - I guess I kinda got used to you wandering around and then leaving. It’s kind of weird how this is the first time I’ve heard your voice.” you laughed, and his lips quirked up in a small, almost unnoticeable smile. “What’s wrong with havin’ a look around?” his voice was low, and he spoke innocently. Despite the both of you knowing he was anything but innocent. “We both know you’ve been having a bit more than a look around.” you said, in reference to the many times you’d seen him ‘borrowing’ a few cd’s. He laughed this time. In truth, he cherished this moment. As it had been the first time he’d heard your voice. You were sweet, funny, and apparently had good music taste. All three of those traits were almost impossible to be found in the people Hobie had met. There was just something about you that was so different from everything else. So unique and-

“That’ll be 24.99” you said, snapping him out of his thoughts. 24.99? He repeated in his head, confused. He could’ve sworn that the price tag said 30? Had you given him a discount? For literally the first time ever, he handed the money to you and paid. He regretted a lot of things, but getting to talk to you was not one of them. You handed him the bag and smiled at him once more. Hobie then realised this would probably be the only time he’d ever interact with you again. In a panic, he spoke up again. “D’ya wanna spend time together after this? We could maybe listen t’the record? See if it was worth th’money?” While the usual confidence in his voice remained, there were hints of hesitation laced under his words. “I’d love to!” you exclaimed, blatantly happy. He smiled, now exposing his teeth. “Lovely.”

“I almost forgot–here’s my number!” you pulled out a pen from your pocket and wrote your phone number on the paper bag that you put his vinyl in; trying to make it as neat and legible as possible. Once you were happy with it, you handed it back to him. “I get off work at 6. Call me then and we can organise something, yeah?” you offered, to which he nodded. “It’s a date.” he said, and winked before turning around and exiting the shop; the jingling of the door suddenly sounded way happier than it usually did. Maybe your new job wasn’t so bad after all.

hey pookie just wanted to let u know my requests are opennn and you wanna request something sooooo badly so why don't you just go over there and send one in thanks love u hope you liked that little fic

[preg-canis-limus]

You’re a slime puppy so stuffed with eggs that need to be laid. You see a cute sleeping bunny boy before you and know their going to be a perfect little incubator

Oh, and how perfect he looks, striding along all fluffy and confident. I can’t let such a perfect opportunity fall by the wayside, so I set some sugar out to catch my flies. Whining a hypnotizing, pitiful whine, I attract the attention of those nice big ears that are so fun to pull on. When he finds me, all he sees is this weird, sad, strange-looking pup crouched with an engorged stomach. It's obvious that I’m pregnant, and since I'm whining so desperately, he has no choice but to rush to my side.

From there, I’m all over him, pawing, whining, moaning so sweetly that I’m practically on top of him with how I’m clinging to his frame. He’s a little startled by the behavior, but he can’t just leave a huge pregnant pup alone, especially with how I’m practically grinding onto him. Despite the bun’s best efforts, the moans and pathetic whimpers are getting to those sensitive ears of his. It only gets worse when I start making somewhat coherent sentences, complimenting him on his body. “Such soft hair~” “Such pretty eyes, do you like what you see? ~” “hips – so wide and soft. Just perfect ~” The praise is getting to him, and he tries, and fails, to not get too incredibly aroused.

With my weight on top of him, it’s not long before I topple us both over, and I’m straddling his hips. From that angle, he can get a closer look at my stomach and see what looks like… eggs? Not to mention the translucent body, it’s blatantly obvious that I’m no normal puppy at this point, and he’s fallen right into my clutches. I keep grinding and moving on him, whimpering as I lap at his face for kisses. At some point, my lower half practically melts to where his pelvis and thighs are encased in my slime, trapping him within me. Using my slimy body, I put physical pressure on his crotch, rubbing and teasing his sweet little pussy through his shorts. As he moans at the feeling, I take advantage and kiss him, manipulating my tongue into some long tendril, filling his mouth with it. He tries to grab hold of me, but his hands just slip into my body, providing no purchase.

Using my slime body again, I pull his shorts off completely and start playing with his cunt. Teasing at the lips and putting sweet torturous pressure on his dick, I drink up his pleasured little moans. Soon, I grow impatient, these eggs need to be laid, after all, and start filling him with my slime, stretching his gummy walls and prodding at his cervix until I slip into his aching womb. I melt more onto his body, looking more like some slimy mass than a puppy, and use my slime to tease and suck at his tender little nipples. Really, my slime is so useful 😊. Meanwhile, my tongue has now slipped down his throat, using the slight lack of oxygen to enhance the wet pleasure my body provides. He's so pretty like this, crying and cumming in and around me. I shift to lap at his tears, wanting to absorb more of his fluids.

To test his capacity, I flood his womb with slime, making his stomach bulge as large as mine before draining back out. After a while, I finally move the eggs inside of me to his entrance. They’re a little large and get caught on his rim, but after some force, they push inside one by one, each one causing him to flinch and twitch. He’s gurgling and groaning around my tongue with the stretch. I’m just purring into his mouth at how well he’s taking my eggs. So pliant after a bit of teasing, the perfect incubator. As a reward as well as a distraction from the increasing stretch, I put more stimulation on his dick, making him moan louder. Slowly but surely, our sizes change. My body has slimmed down, but his frame has expanded significantly. His stomach now swollen with my eggs, I remove my tongue from his throat, leaving him gasping and panting as I force him to come once more before gently lowering him to lay flat on the ground. I slip his shorts back onto him as far as they’ll go and slip from his hole. Removing myself from him, I stand and take a look at my work. The poor bunny lays there, covered in sweat and slick, teetering on consciousness. His stomach is filled with my eggs, weighing him down, and his clothes no longer fit right, unable to accommodate his new litter. Satisfied, I sneak away, continuing my life as normal until more eggs develop, and I need to find the next willing boy.

Edit - I just realized this said sleeping, sorry

here are all the recs I posted for femslash february 2024...! each individual rec post can be found in my femslash feb recs tag. I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to do this because work got super chaotic, but in the end I couldn't bear to skip out on a leap year. that's a whole extra day for yuri.

last year I focused on official releases, so this year I wanted to focus on series that aren't technically officially available (plus a french-japanese film). fan translations are always a dicey for artists/translators/publishers/etc because obviously they need to get paid... but yuri's already such an overlooked genre that—in an official capacity—we end up with a couple drops from what's already a pretty small pool. I read hana to hoshi about a decade ago, and I keep submitting it to the seven seas survey for licensure! and yet!! no dice. and even when there are official releases, sometimes they just... disappear!? wish you were gone was licensed and then taken down, so for a while the only way to read it (if you missed out on buying it) was the fan translation. I think it's important to support artists and official releases, and also, to appreciate the thankless endeavor(/crime) of scanlation.

hope yall find something you like!

the places we never should have left

or Ghostober Day #31: Aftercare

Much thanks to @kroas-adtam for putting Ghostober together, and much thanks to @askingforthesun for letting this live in your dms for a while <3

also tagging @mac-and-thefox, hope you enjoy!

Pairing: Swiss/Aeon

There's nothing Aeon likes more than the intimacy of laying together with their mate after sex.

Title from Bishops Knife Trick by Fall Out Boy

Mature, 1.7k. Mentions of ghoul mating customs, and a little tease at some lore I've been working on for a while, but other than that, just straight fluff. They/them pronouns for Aeon.

divider by @ghuleh-recs <3

When Aeon's vision returns to them, consciousness coming back to their body, the first thing they're aware of is a warm, solid weight on top of them, pressing them flat on their back into the mattress. Sweet spice fills their nose as their breathing evens out.

"Fuck," they wheeze, laughing softly as the weight on top of them shifts, pushing them further into blankets and sheets and pillows. Sharp stubble scrapes against the side of their neck, a soft huff of breath on skin as Swiss shoves his face into where Aeon's scent is strongest.

He kisses the crook of their neck. "'Fuck' is right," he agrees, taking a deep breath before pulling back, one more apologetic kiss to their skin.

Both ghouls hiss through their teeth with sensitivity as Swiss slowly pulls out.

"Aw, don't go," Aeon complains teasingly, complete with grabby hands. Swiss laughs, teeth flashing in the low lamplight from their nightstand.

"Not going anywhere, buggy," he promises, even as he whistles under his breath at the mess the two of them had made. "Might need to clean the hearth, though. Got cum and slick fucking everywhere."

Aeon blushes at the very recent memory of what he'd done to them, what Swiss had made their body do. Of how every nerve in their vessel had been lit up like neon, like fireworks, as bright as the sun. Aeon's not shy or prude, not by a long shot, but Swiss knows how to push the envelope in ways that rock their world.

Despite his observations, Swiss goes easily as Aeon pulls him back down. "Cuddles with my space heater first, clean up later. You know you don't want to get up yet."

Swiss laughs, melodic like the chapel bells. "When you inevitably fall asleep and wake up all sticky and gross, don't you dare complain to me," he smiles, maneuvering their bodies until his quint is curled up on his chest. "You're right though, sweetheart. Cuddles can't wait."

Aeon chuffs happily as Swiss drags them where he wants them, rubbing their cheek against his collarbone. "How're you doing?" they mumble softly. Their one good eye locks onto the still-healing bitemark in the crook of Swiss's neck. It's only a few weeks old, and Aeon's filled with a burst of pride to know it's healing well.

Swiss smiles, warm and fond, calloused fingers brushing a strand of sweaty, white hair from Aeon's forehead. "Doing fantastic, sweetheart," he coos, carding through their hair. "Thank you, baby. And you? I wasn't too..." he trails off, uncertainty and worry cutting through his scent. He cares so much and it makes Aeon's heart pang to know it's all for them.

"It was perfect," Aeon whispers, pushing themself a little more upright so they can meet Swiss's golden eyes. "Promise that I would have said something if I didn't like anything we did."

Swiss's lips quirk up into a smile, and he leans in, craning his neck to kiss the matching, half-healed bitemark on their throat. "I love you, Aeon," he breathes, something sacred and secret. One of the fundamental truths of the world.

The sky is blue.

The Earth orbits the sun.

Swiss loves Aeon.

And Swiss must be the luckiest bastard in the world Above or Below, because Aeon loves Swiss too.

They tell him as much, worming their arms around his neck as they settle back down on his chest. Aeon's nose nudges his jaw, taking a deep, satisfied breath of his scent. "Never want to leave this," they admit.

"You don't have to," Swiss says, barely a moment after the words left their mouth. He holds them tighter. One big hand comes up to card through sweaty dark hair. "I'm never letting you go."

Aeon settles down, a smug smile on their face as they get more comfortable in his arms. They rub their legs together like an oversized cricket. The feeling of slick and cum sticky on their inner thighs makes them cringe for just a moment, but they ignore it in favor of existing here with him.

Eventually, Swiss sits up with a groan, taking Aeon with him as he reaches for the nightstand. He grabs the bottle of water he set out there, popping the lid open. The ice inside rattles. "Take a drink, sweetheart," he says, offering it to them first.

Aeon rolls their eyes, a little disgruntled from being bodily moved without warning, but they gulp down their share of the water, eyes fluttering as they realize just how thirsty they were. Eventually they pull back with a little gasp, passing the water bottle wordlessly back to Swiss. They raise an eyebrow, and Swiss laughs at their attempt at looking stern.

Regardless, he drinks as well, Aeon leaning in to rest their forehead against his collarbone, breathing in the scent of salt and spice. "Come on, we were cuddling," Aeon whines, faux annoyed, but their tail still curls gently around Swiss's calf. "I was comfy, you didn't have to move me."

Swiss shakes his head, laughing as he swallows. The water bottle is set aside with a clunk, and Swiss buries his nose in Aeon's hair. The scent is rich with blackberries and ozone and sweat. "Oh, I'm so sorry, buggy."

Aeon huffs, and Swiss keeps laughing as they shove him back to the bed, arms tight around his middle. He cards his fingers through their hair again, and Aeon chuffs loudly as they make themself comfortable against his chest. "Yeah, yeah, water is important. I'm not moving. I'm right where I wanna be."

He grins, bright like a thousand suns, and kisses their forehead. Aeon cranes their neck and kisses him for real. "Me too," he whispers against their lips.

Swiss can't stop smiling. "Okay, we've drank, and I know you said you're not moving, but do you want something to eat?"

Something bright lights up in Aeon's eyes, and Swiss knows exactly what they're going to say before they even open their mouth. "I want that stuffed flatbread we had when we were in the Ninth."

Swiss laughs incredulously, but there's no heat behind it. "Buggy, you want me to go wake up Cee to open a portal to the Pit just so I can get you flatbread?"

"Aw, Swiss, why not?" They laugh, tail flicking behind them. "It was really good flatbread."

He chuffs into their hair. "Yeah, it was good flatbread. You've been asking for it for two months. I promise you, if we ever go back together, the first thing I'll do is get you flatbread. And we'll each get our own this time so you can have more."

"I knew I made the right choice with you. Lucifer, I fucking love you," Aeon proclaims, cupping his face in their hands and pressing a firm kiss to his lips.

When they pull back, Swiss can't take his eyes off of them. They're the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, the string lights above his bed casting soft purple light over them, catching in their hair and eyes. If he didn't know any better, he'd say that Aeon's glowing.

He stares up at them, silent, long enough that a little furrow forms in their brow. "Swiss?" Aeon whispers, cocking their head like a confused puppy as they prop themself up on their elbows. Black and white hair falls over their sweaty forehead. "What's goin' on in there?"

Swiss shakes his head, reaches up to cup their cheek in one big hand. "Just thinking, bug." He smooths a thumb over their cheek, carefully avoiding the old scar running over their eye.

Their lips quirk up in a tiny smile, granting him a peek of crooked fangs that nibble at their bottom lip. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Swiss's other arm comes around the small of Aeon's back, gently pulling them back until they're flush with his chest. Aeon doesn't put up a fight, lets themself be moved. "Just, thinkin' about how much has changed in the last couple years," he says, still smoothing his thumb over their cheek. He ducks his head to nose between their horns. "How happy I am. How lucky I am that you're mine."

He lets the rest of it hang unsaid. My friend, my packmate. My bug. My love. My claimed.

Aeon, however, isn't content with things left unsaid. They nuzzle into the side of Swiss's neck, pressing a kiss to the mark they left there. "I know. Me too," they whisper, almost inaudible. "I love you. Thank you for being my mate."

The bites haven't even fully healed yet. The word still tastes novel on their tongues. They cannot wait to hear it for the rest of their lives.

Swiss kisses the taste of their words from their lips, and Aeon happily obliges. "Don't thank me," he whispers. "I wanted to be yours just as bad."

Aeon chuffs, and Swiss echoes them. "I love you," Aeon breathes. Their tail finds his, twining around each other until the spades touch. "Love you so much."

Swiss's hand comes up to cup the back of their head, and he cranes his neck to kiss over their mark. "I love you too. Til the earth starts to crumble."

Aeon's tail wags. Or at the very least, it tries to wag, still entwined with Swiss's. They both laugh brightly, a blush settling over Aeon's face.

"Alright, my mate," Swiss coos, pressing one more kiss between Aeon's eyes. "I think we've put off showering long enough. We can cuddle all we want after we've cleaned up."

Aeon huffs, but pushes up off of Swiss. When they climb out of their hearth, their knees wobble, but Swiss is quick to grab their bicep and steady them. "Allow me, buggy," he says, playfully over-dramatic, before sweeping them into his arms and carrying them to the bathroom to start the shower.

When they and the hearth are both clean and dry, they'll come back to bed and curl in on each other, jagged puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. But for now, Aeon laughs as Swiss hip checks the bathroom door shut behind him.

[februarybluues]

idk if this is where I put requests I'm new to Tumblr 😭 but like I had an idea 🤓☝🏾can you write a story where the reader takes hobie roller skating and has to teach him because he's so horrible at it pleaseee

-M

i love this idea so much u have no idea . really hope i did it justice.

Roller-date.

warnings: cursing, gn reader, awful british, clumsy ass hobie

look at him guys omg he's so drools

Although he insisted that he’d rather spend time with you at his house, you weren’t listening. You had your eye on the new roller-skating rink that opened up recently and you instantly knew you wanted to go. He was very much against the idea at first; ‘Capitalistic ideations’ and what-not. “We can just get our own skates ‘n go ‘round town. We don’t need’a spend money.”, he’d say, but you countered with “It’ll be fun! Don’t you want to spend quality time together? It’ll be like a fun roller-date!” you smiled at him, and he found himself sighing with defeat. How could he possibly say no to you? “Fine. Just this once.” 

And that’s how he ended up here; sitting down next to you on a bench - inside the rink, bright pink roller skates in his hands. “You sure they didn’t ‘ave any other colours?” he asked you, looking down to see you tying the laces on your skates – which matched his. “Nope. But, it’s too late now!” you giggled, and he groaned; definitely regretting his agreement to come in the first place, but at least you were happy. Once you finished putting your rollerskates on, you looked back to him and smiled. You quickly made eye contact, as he had admittedly been staring at you the entire time. “Are you gonna tie your laces or do you need me to do that for you?” you teased, effectively snapping him out of his thoughts. He rolled his eyes at you, before tying his laces. It was hilarious; his punk style clashed with the bright pink roller skates in a way that made you struggle to contain your laughter. “What’s so funny?” he asked you. You cleared your throat. “Nothing.” you muttered, still staring at his skates. You didn’t see the small smile plastered on his face. “Come on then.” he said, and you finally looked back up at him. “You ready?” you asked him, and he nodded. You stood up; careful to not fall over. He stayed on the bench, which made you quirk your eyebrow at him, confused. “Hobe? Are you alright?” you asked him, taking note of how he awkwardly sat there. He nodded at you; the once cocky smirk on his face was replaced with a subtle look of embarrassment. But he played it off well. “Fine. ‘M fine.” he said. “Then come on. Let’s get in the rink!” you smiled, and he scrambled to get up. At first, he opted for the ‘no-hands approach’; Attempting to stand up without his hands, to impress you. – which failed horribly. He slipped and landed back on the bench. Then, he tried to hold onto the arm of the bench to pull him up. It worked for a bit, but just as he finally stood up, his knees shook and he lost his balance, falling back onto the bench. You laughed quietly at his struggling, amused at the scene in front of you. “Hobie, can you not skate?” you asked him, genuinely. “Maybe I can’t. So what?” he didn’t look at you as he spoke. His lips were pouted and his brows were crossed with subtle anger and maybe a slight bit of embarrassment. You laughed, the situation was now making much more sense. The reason he didn’t want to skate was because he didn’t know how to! He scoffed at you, crossing his arms like an angry toddler. “I’m sorry- here.” you tried to stop laughing, and held your hand out to him, pulling him up as he grabbed onto it. It took him a minute to get his balance, but once he did he felt like the king of the world. “Want me to teach you how to skate?” you offered, smiling sweetly. “I’d love tha', doll.” he raised your hand to his lips and pressed a small kiss to it. “Firstly, let’s get in the rink.” you stated, slowly beginning to step towards it. A hand latched onto your arm before you could do so. “Wait! Don’t jus’ leave me ‘ere!” he all-but-shouted, clinging onto your arm. You laughed again at that. “Here. Just take tiny steps. Sort of like waddling- like a penguin.” you instructed, before demonstrating it to him. He copied your movements, before tripping over his own feet. You caught him before he hit the ground, pulling him back up. “Be patient with it. It’s not a race.” you said, slowly shuffling once again. After a while, he seemed to get the hang of things. And finally, you reached the rink. “Okay, this is going to be a lot slippier than the carpet, so be careful.” you warned him, before stepping into the rink. He nodded, slowly shuffling in. You were right. It was a lot more difficult to keep his balance, and he stumbled around quite a lot. - almost falling more than once. But eventually he did regain his balance. “This is easy.” he commented, growing a lot more confident. You let out a small laugh, before warning him again. “Don’t get too cocky. You’re gonna end up jinxing yourself.” He didn’t listen, holding onto the wall of the rink and using it to hold himself up.

You moved around, skating in semi-circles around him. He just looked at you as if you were a professional. “‘How are you doin’ tha’?” he asked. “Oh it’s easy! You just gotta push with your legs. - not too hard. But gently just push.” You instructed, giving him a demonstration as you spoke. You slowly skated around him, and he took multiple mental notes on what you were doing. The place wasn’t crowded, but it definitely wasn’t empty. There were a decent amount of people around the both of you. “Did that make sense?” you stopped in front of him. He nodded. “Like this?” he pushed his left foot backwards, and very slowly inched forward; still clinging onto the wall for dear life. “Uhh.. you’re getting there?” he scoffed at you. “Knew this was a bad idea.” he muttered almost inaudibly, but you heard it. “Hey! Once you get the hang of things I’m sure it’ll be fun. Stop being so negative.” you pressed a kiss to his forehead, and he playfully rolled his eyes.

You spent a while giving him a bunch of pointers and tips on how to skate, how to stop, and all of the basics. He just looked so lost the entire time. He listened intently, and asked some questions – which was very unlike him. When you commented on his sudden change in behaviour, he responded with “Jus’ wanna make sure you ‘ave fun. Teachin’ me all this isn’t all tha’ delightful, eh?” it was sweet of him, and it truly made your heart smile.

After around 20 minutes, you spoke up. “That’s pretty much all you need to know. Are you ready to try it out properly now?” “Prepare to be amazed,” he said, and you laughed. “By all means, show me what you’ve got.” he obliged, skating impressively well considering he had only learned moments ago. You applauded him, clapping your hands dramatically. “But can you let go of the wall this time?” he muttered something, sounding slightly hesitant. “O’course i can let go o’the bloody wall.” it was quiet, and you almost missed it. He slowly let go and held both arms out to stabilise himself. And then, he did it. He started to skate without the help of the wall. You felt like a proud mentor, quickly following behind him as he kept going. “Look at you go!” You smiled, and he looked at you with a cocky smile.

You did a few laps around the rink, hand-in-hand. His hand was squeezing yours with subtle uncertainty, and you gave him a small squeeze of reassurance. “You’re doing great.” “Oh ‘ell yeah. Bloody professional I am, yeah?” you chuckled, “The best of the best.”

He was doing great. He was a lot more confident than when he had started and had picked up the pace. But, he was almost too confident. “Watch this,” he said, before speeding up drastically and attempting to spin. But, about halfway through his attempt at spinning, he tripped over his own feet and landed on the cold ground. Understandably, you burst out into laughter at the situation. You couldn’t help yourself, okay? After a while, you crouched down next to him, carefully. “Are you okay?” you asked, and he looked away from you, embarrassed. “Meant to do that.” he excused himself, and you giggled. “Sure you did.” You then noticed the small rip in the knee of his jeans. This rip was not intentional, and you could see a small graze peaking through the fabric. “Baby, your knee.” you said, your hands moving to assess the injury. He swatted them away before you could see it properly. “Hey, hey. ’m fine. “ he said, but you ignored him, immediately moving your hands back to his knee. You moved the ripped fabric around so that you could see the injury. “Looks like a bit of rug burn. Poor thing.” you said, acknowledging how he subtly winced at your thumb grazing over it. “Jus’ a scratch. Like i said, ‘m fine. Dealt with worse.” “Are you sure? Does your ass hurt from falling on it?” you teased, laughing at your own words. “‘S not tha’ funny.” he murmured. “Oh come on. You have to admit it’s a bit funny.” “ Fine. Maybe jus’ a bit.” he admitted and you smiled, before standing up and holding your hand out to him.

“Let’s see if they have any plasters at the front desk.”

Little silly thought I have and I want to share it.

Imagine being the s/o of Riddle Rosehearts (Or any of the heartslabyul boys) when an unbirthday party is planed on your birthday, on Feb 29. (For the sake of this, imagine this is your birthday) No one thinking that it would be anyone's birthday due to the rarity of that happening. Having to wake up that day exited to see what your lovely boyfriend has in plan for you, only to realize that they had forgotten about it. Seeing them run around planning and working on the unbirthday party.

Realizing they forgot about your birthday, you decide to practically ignore them, going back to Ramshackle. Having a single cupcake as celebration for yourself on your special day, entirely by yourself.

Honestly how it ends or what happens next is up to y'all. I simply thought about this while reading the manga. I would love to read something like this but I'm not familiar enough with the characters to do this.

February has the air of love that breathes tragedy.

Something incredibly funny about A New Wish's timeline is that Peri gets to celebrate his birthday before Dev...

POV, you're Dev and your fairy is living it up and you're like... "Peri, I'm still reeling over the fact that my dad loves his boots more than me, can you not right now?"
