“Are you for real?”

“Yeah, obviously. I did some research, and you have a degree in journalism and another one in advertising. I’ll pay you double what you make now.” Mikage explains, turning his clipboard around to show her the salary he’s offering her.

“And you want me to just drop everything and tour with you?” She stares at the large number with wide eyes. It’s a tempting offer, and an extremely tempting salary.

“Um, yeah.”

“Mikage-”

“Call me Reo.” He interrupts. “Mikage’s my father.” He winks.

“Okay, R-reo. I just, I want to but- I have an apartment and a car and a job…” She trails off.

“Any kids?”

“Huh? No?”

“Pets?” He asks.

“No.”

“Okay, then I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll pay your lease while you’re on tour, I’ll send some people in to clean for you, clear out your refrigerator, grab all your clothes, I’ll send a letter to your current job, whatever you need.” He says with a smile. He really is making an offer she can’t refuse. “So whaddya say?”

She pauses briefly, but they both know her answer. “Okay. I’m in.”

And it’s been two weeks now, two weeks of being Blue Lock’s professional journalist. Reo explained that though the band blew up quickly, information about them is only circulating in one small genre of individuals, and their network is not expanding. Having a journalist to publish interviews with them, write articles about their shows, generate social media campaigns, it’ll all be much more effective if it’s someone who already knows the band pretty well. So far it’s been working tremendously, they’ve been booked for interviews with magazines and television programs worldwide, their singles are being advertised by other famous bands, and a second song of theirs, “Shut The Door”, went viral on TikTok.

This also means it’s been two weeks now of fucking- or rather being fucked by- Isagi Yoichi. It’s not like Reo doesn’t know of it, they all know. But Reo’s philosophy is this: if she’s fucking the band, she’ll have emotional ties to them, which will come out in her writing and advertising for them. Of course, the extent of their relationship will be kept out of the public eye, but other than that, the band manager sees this only as a good thing.

It’s what he tells her as they stand off to the side of the stage, watching the boys soundcheck for their final show of a three-day stretch. They’re exhausted by now, but at least after this they get a two day break.

“So you’re telling me you’re less than concerned with the public finding out that our lead singer is fucking our journalist?” The stage director Bachira Meguru, who y/n has also grown close with over the past two weeks, adds his two-sense.

“If it gets our name out there, I couldn’t care less who any of us is fucking.” Reo says matter-of-factly, spoken like a true businessman.

“You talk about me fucking Isagi like it’s nothing.” Y/n chuckles nervously, her eyes darting between Reo and Bachira.

“Sweetheart,” Bachira smiles, a demon-like smile that might portray a hint of psychosis. “You think you’re the only one Isagi’s fucking?”

The words hit like a blade through her chest. “I- well- b-wha-”

Reo sighs. “I’m sorry, y/n, I know I can be harsh with what I expect of you, I’m just trying to say that I’m doing the best I can think to do for the future of the band. I don’t want to put your emotions at risk, but I also want you to be able to separate them from your job.”

“I, yeah, I understand. I am.” She nods profusely, her unconvincing sentence prompting a shared look between the two backstage band members.

She can’t help but worry about Bachira’s comment, she worries about it throughout their entire concert. She watches backstage as the loud music blares through the speakers, Isagi’s voice striking down on the crowd like magic, Nagi and Chigiri’s background vocals adding shimmer to the air around them.

She decides not to bring it up to Bachira again, it’s not like he’s been very good at hiding his obvious attraction for her since she got here, so he’s probably just jealous. But it doesn’t matter what she tells herself, she just can’t shake it. Does Isagi really not like her? Is he really just fucking her? It’s not like she expected they’d be in a relationship or anything, but maybe he would have told her if he was hooking up with other girls.

“Something on your mind, beautiful?” Bachira catches her alone in the hallway, taking a breather after they finished their show.

“Hm? Bachira- oh-” She chuckles nervously.

“You seem to not like when I flirt much.” He laughs.

“No, um, it’s just that, you know-” She struggles.

“It’s Isagi, hm?” He reads her, not that it would be difficult to piece it together.

She doesn’t respond, but he’s right of course. In fact, the way that all of the band members look at her is arousing, like they’re all just waiting for their turn. She hasn’t brought it up to Isagi, even though he’d probably be able to get them to stop. But the truth is, she likes it. She loves that kind of attention from them, she loves how flirty they all are, she loves knowing that she could have any one of them. And Bachira- perhaps the most forward of the seven of them- y/n didn’t expect to find him so damn attractive.

He likes to touch her- whether it’s casually putting his arm around her, or coming up behind her and squeezing her shoulders, or moving a piece of hair out of her eyes. And every single time it’s like a spark is ignited in her body. Every little touch, every playful comment, it flips a switch inside her. She finds herself watching him a lot of the time, watching him direct the tech services workers on where to place equipment, watching him assign the band members to their stage positions, and watching him work with the sound engineers to equalize the four sets of vocals. Everything Bachira Meguru does, he does it with that little demon smile, the same one he’s giving her now.

“You don’t have to tell me, I know it’s about Isagi. You’re upset because he never told you you’re not exclusive, am I right?” He asks, leaning against the wall next to her.

“We have yet to have that conversation.” Y/n bites the inside of her cheek, trying to avoid looking into those enthralling golden eyes.

“Look, y/n, I’ve known Yoichi since we were 16 years old. I know how he is- all sweet on the outside and a menace on the inside. I love him to death, but someone’s gotta tell you what’s really going on- or you’ll get attached.” He sighs.

Y/n doesn’t say anything, just looks around, hoping his words don’t make her start suddenly crying. It’s not like she expected to date Isagi, but it’s also true that her feelings for him haven’t exactly lessened since their arrangement.

“Just come with me.” He continues, grabbing her hand.

Y/n hasn’t spent every single night with Isagi, not even half the nights. Since starting her job, she’s had a lot less time to hang out with him alone, but when they get a moment, Isagi’s been all over her. It really didn’t feel to her like he’d be actively wanting anyone else. But as Bachira directs her behind the door of one of the backstage dressing rooms, it becomes clear to y/n that she’s been dead wrong.

They can only catch a bit of the conversation, but Isagi stands with two extremely attractive women, discussing how they can sneak off somewhere, how they can meet him in his hotel room later, how they should come to the bar with him. Y/n can’t help but feel a lump in her throat as Bachira pulls her away from the saddening scene.

“I’m sorry y/n, you just needed to see what’s really going on.” Bachira apologizes.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“Are you gonna talk to him?” He asks.

“Why would I talk to him?” She chuckles, feeling her sadness turning into an anger that burns in her chest. He could have at least talked to her about it. “If he can fuck who he wants so can I. I need to stop chasing his approval.”

“Atta girl, plenty of guys would kill to fuck you.” He flashes her a flirty smile.

Maybe it’s not the best decision, but right now, the only thing y/n wants is to stick it to Isagi. Show him that she doesn’t need him as anything more than a casual friend with benefits, maybe even just a colleague. Show him it doesn’t bother her at all that he’s fucking other girls behind her back. And what better way to stick it to Isagi, than to fuck his best friend?

“You included?” She asks, rocking forward onto the balls of her feet.

“I may as well be the president of the guys who’d kill to fuck you, if I’m honest.” He flirts.

“Good, let’s go.” She grabs his wrist, pulling him in the direction they came from.

“Where are we going?” Bachira giggles.

“I dunno, don’t laugh at me.” She replies, determined.

“Okay, let me lead the way then.” He takes control, his touch putting her under his spell.

It’s easy to fall into his grip, he can get in her head so easily. She hardly remembers getting back to his hotel room, by the time she snaps back to reality, she’s being led through the door and swiftly spun around.

“Shut the door.” He says with a smirk, pushing her back against the door as it closes. “Keep me from the things that I don’t know~” He hums the lyrics of the song he referenced, his voice muffled every time he places wet kisses to her neck.

“I need it, Bachira.” She whines, confidently wrapping her arms around him, her movements begging for him to keep going, to keep leaving sharp kisses on her skin. She can only hope he’ll bruise her, wanting everyone to see that she’s not Isagi’s pet- she can do whatever she wants. And right now, she wants the gorgeous stage director who’s teeth graze her skin and who’s tongue sloppily traces over the marks he leaves.

‘You need it.” He huffs. “Desperate kitty.”

“K-huh?” She feels her knees grow weaker at the pet name he chooses. Maybe she’s not Isagi’s pet, but it certainly seems like she’s become Bachira’s.

“So obedient for me, yet somehow still so cold. My little kitty.” He breathes against her neck, the pads of his fingers reaching her thigh. “Jump.” He says, holding onto her thighs as he presses her back harder into the door, holding her above his head.

And he kisses her, a much smoother, more calculated kiss than Isagi’s. His careful movements are somewhat contradictory to his eccentric personality, but the fact that he continues to make unexpected decisions is still right on brand. It’s like she’s in another world, Bachira Meguru’s world. His plump lips overpower hers in such a beautiful way, sucking her bottom lip between them like she’s a mere piece of candy for him to snack on.

“Sweet lil pretty thing~” He hums, breaking their kiss for only a moment before joining their lips together again, trapping her bottom lip between his teeth once more. This time, he bites down, just enough to force a surprised wince from the depths of her throat. And he chuckles, that same unreadable demonic chuckle.

“Don’t even wanna take y’to the bed kitty, wanna fuck y’against this door.” He murmurs, blocking any chance of her responding by shoving his tongue deep into her mouth, his fingernails digging deep into her thighs as he continues to hold her up. She doesn’t know how he intends to fuck her like this, she’s surprised he’s even still holding her up.

He quickly proves her concerns futile, as he uses only his upper body to keep her pressed into the door as one of his hands slips inside his pants, and the other slips under her skirt and panties. His hard cock pokes out from the top of his sweatpants as he grunts, finally pushing his sweatpants down enough to entirely expose himself to her.

Her breaths get heavier as he pushes her panties to the side, not even showing her the decency to take them off first.

“There y’go.” He holds his cock up with one hand, her legs wrapped tightly around him as she takes his lead, lowering her body slowly onto his tip. “That’s it kitty, there y’go, push it all the way in- ah yes~ like that~” He gasps, feeling her fully sheathe herself onto him, her legs already shaking as she tries to keep up with the unfamiliar position.

“That’s a good girl~” He grunts, holding her body against the door as he fucks up into her, thrusting into parts of her only this position could reach, parts that turn her into putty in his hands. “Be a good little kitty.” His voice is hoarse, his eyes dark as he slams into her soaked cunt, her wetness dripping down his shaft.

Her muscles are sore as she holds herself up around him, but she fucking loves it. She loves being fucked like a pet with no control over her own body. He’s so strong, and hot, and fuck. His cock feels so damn good inside her, forcing her pussy to clench around him repeatedly, practically begging for him to stay inside her forever.

It’s likely anyone walking by the hotel room is welcomed with the sounds of the door slamming over and over, but Bachira doesn’t seem to care. In fact, he loves being loud. He hopes everyone hears. “Ah~ that’s it, such a tight little pussy f’me, hm? Isagi wasn’t enough to stretch you out? Guess not~”

Her hands find his hair, gripping on his blonde highlights with a strength she didn’t know she had, biting on her own bottom lip to prevent her from screaming aloud, instead limiting herself to quieted whimpers and light moans. “Meguru~” His first name tickles her tongue like it’s a curse, like she shouldn’t be allowed to say it, like he shouldn’t be allowed to be making her feel this way.

With a few more harsh thrusts that y/n is surprised didn’t split her body in half, his grip loosens, and he quickly grabs her hips as he practically drops her on her knees below him.

“Open. G’na cum in that pretty little mouth~” He breathes in, squeezing his cock with one hand as his other makes its way into her hair, roughly positioning her head in front of him. “Look at you, a mess f’me kitty.” He slurs, tauntingly tracing over her soft cheek as her mouth falls open for him.

He slides his pink tip between her lips, letting her clamp them down around him as she laps at his leaking hole with her tongue. And he pushes it in further, holding her head in place so she can’t pull away as he challenges her abilities. Y/n was confident, but she’s never sucked a dick this big. Before he’s even half way, her eyes are brimming with tears.

“Y’can take it y/n, pretty kitty, I know y’can take it.” His voice is tight as he manages quick, fast breaths. The sight of her is immaculate. The girl Isagi Yoichi thought he had tied down, with her mascara streaming down her face as his cock is buried in her throat, her dazed eyes peering up at him. And he’s gonna make a mess of her.

“Hmm~” She hums, doing her best to hollow her throat to fit more of him.

He twitches, thrusting into her dirty mouth with his grip tightened around her hair, forcing it down her throat regardless of whether she can take it or not.

“That’s good~ mhm~ g’na cum~” He hums, nearly bottoming out before shooting his thick load directly into the back of her throat.

She swallows quickly, doing everything she can to take every single drop of what he gives her. His grip loosens on her hair as he slides his cock out from between her lips, finally letting her take in a deep breath.

“S’ry a little rough kitty? My bad, pretty girl~” He grabs her hips, pulling her to her shaky feet. “Such a good job swallowing f’me huh, you got every last drop.”

“Mhm.” She nods, trying to regain her composure.

“I’ll make it up to you, pretty. Lay down.” He pulls her toward the unused hotel bed, watching her collapse backward, her legs hanging off the edge.

“Was good, was so good.” She manages through her breathless, fucked-out state.

Bachira chuckles. “Boutta be better, though.” He kneels on the side of the bed, hooking a finger under her panties that never managed to make it off when he fucked her, finally pulling them down her smooth legs. “Sit back and feel good now, sweetheart. Kitty deserves a reward. Good girl.” He praises, spreading her thighs apart as he presses his lips to her dripping cunt.

He eats her like he hasn’t eaten in weeks, his tongue lapping up every bit of her he can get a taste of, fucking it into her used hole like he’s trying to clear every drop. He alternates between fucking her with his tongue and flicking her clit, licking short wet stripes across the sensitive bud of fleshy ecstasy.

His nails loosen on her thighs, letting her clench them around his head as if he wants her to crush him. And maybe he does.

He hums into her pussy like he’s singing it to sleep, hungrily drinking her up like it’s just as good for him as it is for her. Her body shakes around his tongue, the clit stimulation sending mini electric pulses up and down her body, forcing her brain into a fucked-out overdrive.

“Meguru~ Ah- close~” She manages through breathy moans, the pulses firing too fast for her to keep up. It’s a different feeling than usual, a more complicated feeling, like she can’t control her body anymore. There’s something else there besides just her orgasm, but it’s too intense for her to figure it out before she releases. “C-cumming-” She stutters.

Bachira plunges his tongue inside her to catch her orgasm, surprised when she squirts around him, the liquid spilling out and soaking the sheets below her.

“Oh fuck-” She breathes, not expecting him to make her squirt like that. She’s definitely never done that before. “S-sorry- I-”

“Mmm kitty~” He comes up for air, his eyes half lidded. “That was the fucking hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She can only nod and catch her breath as he attaches his lips to her inner thigh, bringing her down from her high by biting and sucking on her sensitive skin.

“Bet Isagi couldn’t make you do that.” He smirks.

Souled Out

Fem Reader x Demon!Eustass Kid

CW: Blood, religious tones, original creation myth, ritual, violence, dubious consent, 18+

Chapter 5: Soul Connection

You fell asleep to Eustass exhausting his date for the evening. You didn’t greet her when she arrived, you already tucked away in the spare room, putting in ear plugs and noise canceling headphones. Even with the double protection it was impossible to block it out entirely – even with a hallway and the living room separating everything.

By the time you drifted off to sleep you were more surprised that the police hadn’t shown up at your front door, but you had read somewhere that the summoning itself could effect physical space, so maybe your apartment was magically soundproof now. Whatever the reason, no one came to complain and you slept well.

The next morning you got up and went about making breakfast out of habit. It was hard to remember to eat when you could barely even feel hungry, but you had put yourself into a habit some years ago and now operated almost automatically during mealtimes. Part way through the process you realized you weren’t alone as a bleary, half-dressed brunette woman meandered into the common area, and sat down at the breakfast bar.

“Hungry?” You ask, tending to the easy breakfast.

“… I am. Sorry, I didn’t realize you two lived together.” She sounds apologetic but you wave it off.

“It is an arrangement of business and convenience, miss, don’t worry.” You hand over a plate of easy over eggs, and toast. “It’s not much, but I hope it suits your tastes.”

“Oh, thank you.” She smiles. “I usually skip breakfast, this is quite the treat.”

“Coffee? There’s apple juice as well, or tea, or water.” You list off the options.

“Coffee if you’re making it for yourself, otherwise water’s fine.” She answers. “We’re not gonna exchange names, are we?" There’s a smile in her voice.

“We could.” You answer, grabbing a glass and filling it with water. “But to answer your inference, it is unlikely we would see one another again.”

“So I assumed, what a shame, he’s really good.” She sighs as you set the glass of water down nearby.

You almost wanted to tell her ‘you’re welcome’, but it would take a lot to explain that she survived the night in large part because of you. There wasn’t any real way to explain it – worst case she would think he was a serial killer or something, and you’d be dealing with police. Best case she’d think you were both off your rockers and you might still have to deal with the police.

“He does seem to excel in all he does.” You admit, making yourself breakfast. You can hear him waking up, stretching and getting out of bed, and are relieved and confused to hear him go into the bathroom. Perhaps demon bodies work like human bodies when they’re on this plane. Either way, it gave you time to eat before you handed off your breakfast to someone else a second time.

“Are you like… a butler or something?” She asks and you can tell from her tone she’s not being rude.

“… Butler is a close enough title.” You answer between bites. “It’s, perhaps, a little more informal than that.”

The two of you finish eating in silence and she goes back into the bedroom, coming out a couple minutes later dressed as, you assume, she had been when she arrived. Eustass is almost right behind her, yawning and offering and mumbled ‘good morning’.

You had assumed he would be more of an ass, when his piece of ass wasn’t gone before he was up, but he was surprisingly convivial. Or at least neutral about it.

He sits down at the breakfast bar and nearly lays across the counter. “Where’s breakfast, lil’ co-er-(Y/N).”

“Still in the fridge,” you answer as you open the refrigerator and pull out some eggs. “I fed your guest and myself, but it won’t take long.”

“Gilda,” she says, standing at the edge of the kitchen space. “Since I heard your name, I figured it was only right.” Gilda extends her hand for a shake. “Thanks for the breakfast.”

“You’re welcome.” You reach out to accept the offered hand. “It was a pl-!”

The second your fingers touched Gilda’s there is a crackle in the air. The explosion of energy throws you both away from each other. You thought you heard someone yell, but the speed and force of the explosion has ripped your consciousness from you just after you feel yourself impact into something.

Eustass coughs, shrugging off bits of plaster and wood from his and your newfound position in the bathroom. The crackle of energy had given him just enough time to react and he managed to cushion you before the force of the explosion slammed you into the wall. There’s not so much as a scratch on him, but if the blast had been able to hurt him, the apartment building probably wouldn’t have survived, never mind you.

“Shit.” He shifts around in the broken bits of wood and moves you around carefully. Nothing’s bending in the wrong direction, and you’re only bleeding a little. Looking up through the new hole connecting the kitchen to the bathroom he sees the girl from last night. Gilda, apparently, didn’t survive.

“You better not blame me for that death, contractor.”

Standing up carefully, he looks you over again before lifting you up. Your heart’s beating, and he heals the few shallow cuts on your arms and legs easily enough. He can’t sense or smell anything wrong, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any internal bleeding to be worried about. Picking you up carefully, listening for any unwanted noises like bones grinding or internal injuries gurgling, he walks out of the bathroom through the door and sets you on the couch before going over to Gilda.

Something had blown her hand off. More like disintegrated it. Eustass grabbed her arm and looked at the wound. The stump was smooth like glass, and there was even a shine to it. There were wounds on her consistent with taking an explosion practically to the face like she had, but it was almost like her hand wasn’t even her own in the first place.

Nothing had been off before the handshake. He hadn’t been on this plane long enough for anyone to be reacting to it – his kind or humankind. Demon hunters were still a thing, laughably weak as they were anymore, and sure there were plenty of others on Earth at any given point, but even with the list of people who’d give a shit about him, none were connected enough to know he was even here yet.

What was it about the name Gilda that bothered him though? No matter how much he thought about it, nothing came to mind.

“Was she gunning for you from the start, contactor?” He murmurs, glancing at you before turning his attention back to the corpse.

Eustass’ eyes shine and he peers at the broken body of last night’s screamer. There’s no tattered remains of a soul on her, she’s already left for The Turn, and it wasn’t like she was a homunculus. All of her pieces and parts, what were left of them, were flesh and bone and blood. No heart crystal, no remnants of magic, and no signature.

“Well lady, you’re a missing person now.” Eustass murmurs, setting the body to flames like he had the poster board the day before. In seconds there was little more than a few ashes mixed in with the dusty disaster the kitchen was in.

Turning his gaze back to you, his eyes keep their eerie focus, and he growls. There’s more soul in you now than there was yesterday, but what’s there doesn’t look stable. It’s not going to disappear or disconnect from you in the next few hours, but as well as Eustass can see souls, they aren’t his area of expertise.

He already knew he was going to have to see the freak the second you told him why you summoned a demon, but now he was going under terms he wasn’t thrilled about.

Tossing open the curtain that covered the sliding glass door, he pulled it open and looked around the balcony. No one was around, not that it would matter much. Coming back into the living room he scooped you up into his arms again. Emotions or not, it was probably for the best that you were unconscious for this.

Stepping up onto the railing Eustass Kid leapt into the air. The black scales that had shivered over his body before gather and bulge at his back, and large red and black wings catch the air as magic and muscle take the two of you higher and higher. It would only take a few minutes to reach where he needed to go, hopefully that little freak hadn’t picked up and moved shop already.

SEAGULLS IN A CHUCK E CHEESE PARKING LOT

Another story, I hope you enjoy.

TW: Houselessness, drug use

Water dripped icy through the worn-out weather stripping of my car windows. It caught on the silvery Reflectix that I shoved into the panes each night in a half-hearted attempt at maintaining the illusion of warmth and privacy. Eventually, the precarious film of condensation slid onto my forehead and let me know that it was finally morning.

After reluctantly pulling myself out of my sleeping bag and squeezing into jeans – which felt like a feat in my tiny Honda Accord – I ripped back the sheets of Reflectix and rolled them tightly so they would fit discreetly into my trunk. The last thing I wanted was for people to immediately know I was living out of my car, and a pile of shiny double bubble insulation next to a blanket seemed like a dead giveaway.

While stowing the insulation and other belongings in the trunk, I grabbed my morning bag and started my daily routine. Brush my teeth using water from a small bottle, taking care to spit the fluoride-filled foam into a plastic baggie that I could throw away later. Place the contact lenses in my eyes even if they were bitterly cold against my retinas after a night of practically sitting in a refrigerator. Turn on the car and wait twenty minutes until the fog from my breath and sweat melted from the windows.

Waiting for the car to warm up was my favorite part of the day. I was freezing and exhausted from a night of pretending not to shiver, and the promise of heat kept me from putting my head back down. That, and I loved watching the fog on the windows fade into my morning view.

There’s nothing quite like looking up at a giant anthropomorphic rat while having a low-grade, long-lasting emotional breakdown. The combination Target and Chuck E. Cheese parking lot was the safest place to sleep, but that also meant I had to look Charles Entertainment Cheese in the eye while he gave me a big thumbs-up. Every goddamn morning.

Papery garbage splattered and smeared on the wet pavement. The whole acre lot was trashy and unnerving, which is part of why it was the best place to stay. The type of customer who would normally complain about the houseless either didn’t stop by, or they had nothing to say. Cops rarely came through. It was the one place I could rest unbothered until 6 or 7 in the morning.

I wasn’t the only one in the lot, though. A few other car campers parked nearby, but never too close. I was alone with the rest of my lonely crowd, though I hope they felt the same loose sense of camaraderie that I did as I parked each night.

The seagulls were my other lot-mates. They usually started huddling at 4 or 5 in the morning, fighting over whatever scraps they could find. On the mornings where it wasn’t raining, I would open my doors and watch them wander around, wishing I had some food I could toss them.

***

If you’ve never been houseless, then you probably take your bathroom for granted. Living out of a car is a little different, especially without the added convenience of a dick. After having to make several midnight drives across town just to find an open Walmart, though, I think I’ll always feel a warm wave of comfort when walking down a short hallway from my bedroom to the toilet.

Target was my first stop of the day for that reason. I wasn’t the only one, either; every morning, I would chat with a frail, dark-haired woman who sat in the corner of the white tiled bathroom. After washing her face in the sink, she would plop down as long as she could – or, rather, as long as the store staff would let her.

Before the poor minimum wage workers had a chance to kick her out, the woman would meticulously wrap her broken shoes with plastic shopping bags to keep her feet dry. Her morning ritual was fast and precise; double wrap, secure with hair ties, place the remaining bags in a small sash around her waist. Snowy days called for duct tape. January was a harsh month.

I never knew her name, but we watched each other decline as the weeks dragged on. My hair fell out in clumps and I’m sure the trenches beneath my eyes were some of my defining features in those days. Her skin sagged and grayed, and it wasn’t long before she supplemented her daily routine with some kind of upper.

Her sad smile became a hostile blank stare, and I wasn’t sure which days she would recognize or even acknowledge me. In March, she stopped coming altogether.

In all the days of her absence, I would sit in my car and think of her. I pictured all of all the ways I could have tried to help, but the hard truth was, I had nothing to offer. It wore on me, not only because I felt like I had watched her disintegrate, but also because I knew I was one flat tire or pill away from being in the exact same place.

There’s a part of me that will hope with painful optimism that she made it to a safe, warm space. I imagine her years later with a different morning ritual. One where she starts by opening big white blinds and pours a hot cup of tea. Or maybe she sits wrapped in sheets until long after the golden sun is up, when she finally feels like getting out of bed.

Top 5 favourite kitchen appliances😃

Fine... I'll humor you 😂

Refrigerator - a true staple. No kitchen would be complete without one. I would love a fancy one someday with those double doors and an integrated ice cube maker! That's how I'll know I've made it in life.

Blender - my food pyramid in the summer consists almost solely out of smoothies so a high-powered blender is a ✨must✨

Coffee machine - hook it to my veins tbh idk

Rice cooker - for some reason I find nothing worse than cooking rice. But I LOVE rice. A rice cooker just cuts out so much effort. Truly an underrated appliance.

Air fryer - I don't own one. But you have no idea how badly I want one. Maybe I'll finally feel grown up if I get one. But my mom has one and so does my best friend and they use it to make like 90% of their food and it's like sorcery to me.

10 Space-Saving Ideas for Your Modular Kitchen

In today’s fast-paced world, modular kitchens are a popular choice for many homeowners. They not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also offer functionality and efficiency. However, with limited space, maximizing storage and organization becomes essential. Here are ten creative space-saving ideas to optimize your modular kitchen. Nifty Interio helps you to decide the best designs for you.

1. Utilize Vertical Space

Make the most of your kitchen's height by installing shelves or cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling. This creates additional storage for items you don’t use daily, such as seasonal cookware or seldom-used appliances. Use decorative boxes or baskets to keep these items organized and out of sight.

2. Pull-Out Cabinets

Consider installing pull-out cabinets or drawers. These can be particularly useful for narrow spaces and can hold spices, baking sheets, or cutting boards. Pull-out systems allow for easy access without the need to dig through piles of items.

3. Magnetic Strips for Utensils

A magnetic strip mounted on the wall can be a stylish and functional way to store metal utensils, knives, or even spice jars. This not only frees up drawer space but also keeps your tools within easy reach.

4. Use Corner Space Wisely

Corner cabinets often become a black hole of unused space. Opt for a lazy Susan or pull-out shelving to make the most of these areas. This allows you to store pots, pans, and other items without losing accessibility.

5. Under-Sink Storage Solutions

The area under your sink is often overlooked. Use stackable bins or tiered organizers to keep cleaning supplies and kitchen essentials organized. Adding a curtain or door can also hide the clutter while maintaining accessibility.

6. Integrated Appliances

Select appliances that can be built into your cabinetry. This not only saves space but also creates a seamless look. Dishwashers, microwaves, and refrigerators can be integrated to provide a more streamlined appearance.

7. Wall-Mounted Pot Racks

If you have limited cabinet space, consider a wall-mounted pot rack. This not only keeps your pots and pans organized and easily accessible but also adds a decorative element to your kitchen.

8. Multi-Functional Furniture

Choose furniture that serves multiple purposes. A kitchen island with storage underneath can double as a prep area and dining space. Folding tables or drop-leaf counters can be great for smaller kitchens, providing extra surface space when needed.

9. Drawer Dividers

Keep your drawers organized with dividers. This prevents items from sliding around and makes it easier to find what you need quickly. Consider custom dividers for utensils, cutlery, and even pot lids.

10. Vertical Storage Solutions

Use pegboards or hanging racks to store pots, pans, and utensils. This keeps them off counters and frees up valuable space. You can also hang items like measuring cups and spatulas for easy access while cooking.

Conclusion

Implementing these space-saving ideas in your modular kitchen can significantly enhance its functionality and aesthetics. With a little creativity and strategic planning, you can create a kitchen that feels spacious and organized, making cooking and entertaining a pleasure. Whether you’re redesigning your kitchen or looking for quick fixes, these tips can help you make the most of your space.
