8:54am

i wake up to chris planting kisses all over my face, a stupid grin painted across his face.

"chriss.." i groan, rubbing my eyes as i sit up in our double bed.

"happy birthday!!" he says, pulling me by my arms up onto the floor, im so unstable i stumble over.

my birthday has always been my favorite day of the year, everyones attention were on me, it was just going to be a stress-free day with my friends, my boyfriend and his brothers.

"shit." chris says, picking me back up, holding me in a bridal position. "you excited!!" he says, placing me back down on my feet

"love you chris." i smile, walking over to the wardrobe and pulling out the outfit ive had planned for days.

ive known chris for 11 years, he was my bestfriend until 1 year ago, when he became my boyfriend.

i strip off my pyjamas, leaving me revealed as i scramble through the shelves to find underwear.

i feel chris's eyes laying on me, "you feel elderly yet?" he says, breaking the comfortable silence.

i scoff "very."

"you look good for how old you are" chris jokes, walking over to my side.

i see his hand reach out, but he pauses instantly when the door rattles. "y/n!" i hear nick call out, i can hear the smile on his face.

"im butt naked right now nick, ill be out in a few!" i call out, chris shakes his head with a grin painted across his face.

"gross." i hear nick say back, slightly quieter this time.

"nick its 9 in the morning what do you take me for!" i say, pulling up my skirt, and readjusting my tanktop. i get on my toes, planting a kiss on chris's nose before unlocking the door.

im met with nick, a bunch of balloons in hand with matt standing next to him. their face light up as they see me.

"you're looking kinda wrinkly.." matt says, pulling me into a hug.

"do i actually look old cause you're the second person to point out my 'aging'" i ask, nick handing me the balloons

-

12:06pm

nick, matt, chris, madi, nate and i have been hanging around the sturniolos house for the day, i've spent the majority of the morning laughing, until a pile of wrapped presents from my friends appears in front of me.

i open them all, thanking whoever gifted it to me with a hug.

chris doesn't give me one though?

i brush it off, maybe he just forgot.

to make things worse, ive just been told madi and nate were both scheduled to leave at 1, both needing to go to nates final ice hockey game, which the sturniolos and i were going to skip.

"oh fuck, we better go madi." nate says, jumping up off the couch and grabbing his keys. madi's sighs before leaning down, squeezing me in a hug. my heart sinks a little, today was meant to be a day with my friends.

"love you y/n, we'll update you about what happens later!" they call out before the door swings shut.

-

ive been sitting on my bed for 2 hours, scrolling aimlessly on my phone as chris sits on the other side of the room at his desk in silence, the faint clicking noise from his keyboard filling the room.

today was meant to be perfect.

i feel my throat dry up as i let out a shaky breath.

ive never cried on my birthday, i've always been too distracted to even think about getting upset, but now, when today has just felt normal, the tears are building up.

i mean, it hasnt been a bad day. its just been too regular.

i feel a few tears fall down my cheeks as i stare at chris's back.

i try my best to stay silent, but a broken sob exits my mouth, i slam a hand over my lips. chris's head snaps back to look at me, his face drops. "oh shit.." chris mumbles before speed-walking over to me, throwing himself down onto the bed to face me.

the tears won't stop now, even with my failed attempts to make excuses up to chris.

"sweetheart please don't cry." chris says softly, holding me in a tight hug as my eyes dampen his shoulder. "talk to me gorgeous, i know you love your birthday you shouldn't be crying yeah?"

"i dont know.." i say in between sobs, chris stays silent, he knows im lying.

"i just wanted it to be perfect.." i sniff, chris rubs my back.

"can i show you something..?" chris says awkwardly, pulling away from the hug. my eyebrows furrow, "okay..?" i say. chris grabs my hands, pulling me up out of bed. he leans down and grabs a sweater from the floor, putting it on my body before taking my hand again.

he walks us downstairs in silence, he seems nervous. chris opens the front door, we walk towards his car and he opens the door to let me in. "ladys first.." he says, trying to lighten the mood.

-

we've been driving for about 3 minutes before chris breaks the silence, "i was meant to take you here later but.. you know." he says, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel.

i nod, chris accelerates slightly as we drive up a hill, we suddenly come to a halt. chris clears his throat, as he turns off the car.

we're parked in a small parking lot on top of a hill, theres trees directly infront of us, the sunset just peeking through the leaves. chris grabs my hand gently, "uh chris?" i ask, he just kisses my lips "shh."

we go through the trees until we they stop, my jaw drops, theres a small picnic blanket, some flowers layed on it along with a note.

its the same spot where me and chris kissed eachother for the first time, 4 years ago.

chris has never been the romantic type, he finds it 'yuck' apparently.

"chris oh my god.." i say, chris is fidgeting with the ties of his sweatpants. i sit down on the picnic blanket, with a groan chris sits down next to me.

"i think this is the sweetest thing anyones done for me.." i say, wrapping my arms around him.

chris shakes his head "shut upp..." he smiles.

"no seriously, i might cry again right now."

"don't you dare." chris says with a small laugh.

a comfortable silence grows between us as the sunsets, i break it after a few minutes.

"we should fuck."

"what?" chris says, his head snapping round to look at me.

"no just think about it, 4 years ago we had our first kiss here, so we should hook up here!" i say, concealing my laugh.

"i meannn whatever you want" chris says, trying not to seem as eager as he actually is.

i pull off my shirt, discarding it on the picnic blanket. theres trees behind us, and a cliff infront of us, its pretty private.

chris helps my shorts off, before laying me down softly on my back, he places his hoodie down under my head as a pillow. "you comfy?" he asks, spreading my legs open wider. i nod, chris pulls down his sweatpants and boxers in one motion, his erection springing out.

he smiles, holding my waist with two hands and lining himself up with me, "ready?" he asks, maintaining eye contact. "very." i smile back.

chris presses his tip inside of me, i stretch around his size, reaching out a hand, chris grabs my it.

he finally pushes the whole way into me, a desperate moan escapes my mouth. "such a pretty noise yeah?" chris says, his voice hoarse as he starts to thrust into me, his tip brushing my cervix each time.

strings of moans and whimpers exit my mouth as i squeeze his hand tighter, chris keeps a firm grip on my waist. "so so good for me, squeezing my dick so well." chris groans.

with each thrust, the knot in my stomach becomes tighter, i arch my back off the picnic blanket, "fuck chris oh my god." i yell, "cum for me gorgeous, can feel you clenching..." he says, stumbling over his words.

with a scream of his name the knot in my stomach snaps, chris pulls out, painting my stomach with white streaks. "g-..good girl." chris says, flopping down next to me on the blanket.

-

we've been laying here for the past hour, laughing, talking and watching the moon. the summer air is warm on my bare body, we both couldnt be bothered to get changed just yet.

"you know.." chris says, running a hand through his hair.

"hm?" i ask, looking over to see his face, which is barely illuminated.

"we should make this a traditon, ya know? birthday sex."

i really liked writing this, thank you for the request babe

Also, the blue jacket he usually wears isn’t a trench coat; it’s a suit jacket.

6. Does he smoke or drink?

10. Favorite color?

Blue.

11. Does he watch TV shows or movies? What genres does he like?

Yes, he enjoys anything with innovative themes or visual techniques.

However, he dislikes romance dramas because he can't understand or relate to love, which makes them boring for him.

12. Is he a light or heavy sleeper?

He’s a night owl and a light sleeper, which causes his prominent dark circles.

13. When does he wear gloves?

He only wears gloves when handling objects or when he doesn’t want to leave fingerprints.

For his public art, he prefers oil paints for oil paintings.

As for those darker pieces, he might mix in victims' blood or other substances.

15. Does he smile when he’s in a good mood?

Yes, but it’s rare for anyone to see it. Also, when he’s shy, he tries to hide his emotions by looking away, but his flushed cheeks and ears give him away.

16. Regarding character pairings?

In the 2018 version update, all pairings with other authors' OCs were removed to keep his story realistic. He is currently single.

However, fans are free to create any pairings in their fanworks.

17. Defining trait?

Selfishness.

18. Sexual orientation?

He identifies as agender, meaning he doesn’t feel tied to any particular gender. His attraction to others is based purely on his mood and feelings.

To put it simply, he doesn’t care about gender.

Also, agender ≠ asexual; he still has sexual desires but finds it difficult to develop intimate relationships due to his cautious nature (which likely means he's still a virgin).

19. In terms of intimacy?

He behaves gently and gentlemanly, but he has a deep-seated violent streak.

If his partner consents, he may become more dominant and leave marks, enjoying the sense of control.

20. Does he have possessiveness towards his partner?

Yes, but he respects his partner, so he wouldn’t try to control or limit them.

However, it’s clear when he’s jealous!

21. What was his childhood like?

He suffered severe mental abuse from his controlling mother, leaving him psychologically shattered, though his body bears no signs of physical abuse.

For more details, refer to the 2018 version story animation: https://youtu.be/AaHgY62-ggI

22. Would he make a good father?

Since he never experienced a normal family life, he doesn’t believe he would be a good father and doesn’t aspire to become one.

He thinks, "The world doesn’t need another me." However, he would make a great older brother or mentor.

23. Ethnicity and nationality?

The official story doesn’t specify his nationality, but he is ethnically white.

24. Is he really afraid of cockroaches?

He’s not afraid of insects and even makes insect specimens.

His fear of cockroaches stems more from his germaphobia than the insect itself, as he perceives them as dirty creatures.

25. Any other tidbits?

● He values manners, so he avoids cursing. Still, in moments of stress, he might accidentally let out a quiet curse. 

● When he’s alone and relaxed or happy, he hums to himself.

THINKIN’ ALL LOVE EVER DOES IS BREAK, AND BURN, AND END… ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

eijiro kirishima x reader

after possibly the worst heartbreak of your entire life, you finally get to begin again with a certain redhead. for his birthday <3

for @satirediary who said i remind them of kirishima 🤍

inspired by begin again

you take a deep breath in the mirror.

after adjusting your outfit for what feels like the millionth time, the anxiety sets in. you wonder if this guy, who you’ve never met before, is gonna like your outfit. the last guy sure didn’t, especially those high heels. but you do, and thats what should matter. right?

when you get to the cafe, you honestly expect him to be late. but to your surprise, he’s early, waving at you and pulling out your chair. you thank him, but he’s a gentleman at heart. “you look nice.” he says, his sharp toothy grin being just odd enough to be cute. you smile, brushing off your shirt and trying not to make the blush on your face so obvious. this is your first actual date since your previous relationship, after all.

you and monoma went down in flames. for a minute there, he ruined you for every other guy. he left you so sad and so heartbroken you weren’t sure if you could bring yourself to love someone else. but after mina’s third insistence on meeting this great guy, you finally go.

“mina’s told me a lot about you.” you smile, watching as the redhead nods, urging you to go own. you list off all the great things she’s said about him, leaving out the comments on his hot body and his apparently large package.

he honestly doesn’t know why you’re coming off shy as you share stories. at one point, he just watches you talk, loving your your rambles and anecdotes. his friends told him that first dates are awkward, but you two talk like old friends. no rust on telephones or reservations on jokes. he doesn’t get how someone as pretty and as kind as you would ever be nervous telling jokes or stories. but you do.

this guy isn’t your ex boyfriend, evident by his genuine interest in you. he laughs along with you, listening to everything you say. you can tell by his red eyes on yours, actually answering your questions and asking you follow ups. seemingly, he cares about what you have to say. he doesn’t know how nice that is, but you do.

“i saw you on tv once.” you giggle, on your second cup of coffee. neither of you wanna leave each other’s presences right now. “it was years ago, when your class was at that forest training camp.”

“oh yeah? did i look good?” he says, playfully flexing his arm muscles because he loves that pink blush on your face. god, he’s built like he was sculpted. but you’re not gonna let him know that, even though you subconsciously place your hand on his bicep, feeling the firmness of his muscles.

“you know, anabolic steroids are terrible for you.” you quip as he feigns offence. its the first time you’ve genuinely laughed in months. theres probably smile lines on your face now.

he throws his head back laughing like a little kid. its honestly strange to you how funny he finds you- you never really thought you were before. you’ve spent the last 8 months questioning your self worth, wondering if all love ever does is break your heart. but now, in some cafe you can’t remember, with a guy your best friend set you up with, you get to begin again.

the date evolves into walking down the block. you do a mental backflip when he finally works up the courage to hold your hand, the chilled autumn air no match for his big, warm hands. his fingers intertwine with yours lime they’re meant to be there. funny how monoma’s hands never did that.

just at that thought, you almost bring him up. the thought of him now still makes that feeling in your chest arise. how he never liked your heels, how he never found you funny, and how he’d never walk you to your car like kirishima was doing now.

either he senses your anxiety, or is just a ray of sunshine, but he eases your worries with a squeeze to your hand and a continuing of his anecdotes from earlier. “my family watches spirited away every christmas, because its my moms favourite movie. without fail.”

its a minute detail, but you wonder if he brought that up because he remembered you mentioning studio ghibli hours ago. its enough to ease your worries.

“i love that movie.” you utter, heart still racing from the close contact. “oh, i- uh, said that already. sorry.”

but he doesn’t hold it to you for reusing that fact. “don’t apologize, i think its cute.”

and for the first time, you wanna hear what he says. you hope he tells you about the movies his family watches, about his hot-headed best friend and the hero agency he works at. you urge him on as he rambles about the weed brownies denki makes, or the time he almost got expelled from UA. they’re dumb anecdotes, but it feels more genuine than anything else you’ve ever felt.

picturing a future with kirishima, no matter how naive or wishful it may be, brings a smile to your face. for the first time, maybe ever, its something you want. he’s effortless, his affection towards you easy for him. maybe you were never hard to love after all. maybe you just had to wait for the right guy.

when you reach your car, you almost don’t want the date to end. “i had a nice time.” you smile. though its what you always say at the end of a date, this time you mean it.

“me too.” he the redhead says, still holding your hand. “next time i’ll come pick you up. it’ll be easier for both of us.”

there, you blush again, a fond smile on your lips. “next time?”

now, he’s the one flustered, realizing his slip up. he rambles out apologies for assuming, his cheeks matching the red of his hair. after all, he’s just a person to. he’s experienced heartbreak like you have. this is likely a new beginning for him, as well.

you stay silent, but you do press a kiss to his cheek before letting go and heading into your car. he pretends the little happy dance you do before starting up and driving back home.

he’ll definitely tease you for that next date.

[indigowallbreaker]

In before the update tomorrow

Here are my predictions/wishlist Stardew Valley 1.6 update! These range from "could happen" to "just let me dream":

Children aging past toddlerhood; gain ability to change their outfits

Another set of romanceable NPCs (eyeing Sandy and the Wizard particularly)

More post-marriage dialogue/events. Like an anniversary date

Festivals changing as the years go on. For example: after getting 8 hearts with Sam, Abigail, and Sebastian, maybe their band plays at the Stardew Valley Fair; the governor brings his wife to the Luau the year after you make the soup taste Delish

The ability to properly befriend certain NPCs like Marlon and Gunther

Separate screen to keep track of farm animals, similar to villager screen in the menu (helpful to me when I play a file I haven't logged into in a while and discover after 3 in-game days that I have sheep)

Non-binary farmer option

Please let me interact with the stuff in the community center I spent my whole file trying to fix

NPCs will repeat dialogue to you after you've spoken to them already during a festival to avoid the creepy situation of wandering around an event and not being able to speak with anyone like they've suddenly become statues and you're the only living thing left in town

Other bachelors/bachelorettes getting together after you're married (little bit of the old Harvest Moon rival system)

More NPCs that move to town the longer you live there, like Kent arriving in Year 2

Morris shows up every once in a while after you complete the Center just so you can appreciate how much you ruined this man's whole life. Or he experiences Growth from being in the Valley, whichever

Heart events occurring more than once. For example: replaying Abigail and Sebastian's gaming/RPG heart events; Leah can hold more than one art show to sell exclusive art; Elliot will have a new book for you to hear an excerpt from every year or so; help Penny teach the kids again; etc.

More ways to increase max health

Could I have a birthday please Mr. Ape ;_;

Fix the "Leek Surprise Gift" cutscene unlocked after Evelyn's special request so that I don't wanna crack George over the head afterwards just because I picked the dialogue option that would give his poor wife credit

Make George Nice To His Wife Every Once In A While patch

Option to fist fight certain villagers, either instigated by them when their friendship gets too low or instigated by you if you've just always hated them and wanna do something about it

At 10 hearts Jodi runs away to travel with Emily and Haley's parents because apparently no one on that street actually wanted to be a parent

Give me ten good reasons Willy can't adopt me

Silent Night, Joyful Hearts - Jake Seresin x Reader

A/N: This is my second of three entries for @sailor-aviator's Christmas Writing Challenge to celebrate the holidays with our favourite aviators.

pairing:  Jake Seresin x reader

warnings/content: Jake as a lovesick little puppy, mentions of church/Christianity.

word count: 1.9k

It had been months since Jake had gone back home to Austin, Texas. He couldn’t remember a date other than “too long.” When the chance to go home for a three week leave for the holidays arose, Jake practically jumped on it. As cocksure and seemingly uncaring as he made himself out to be, at the end of the day, Jake was becoming homesick, ready for a long overdue trip to his hometown.

“Uncle Jake! Uncle Jake!” 

A little voice squealed from the living room around the corner, a blonde haired, green eyed little boy - the spitting image of Jake - came speeding into the hallway, wrapping his tiny arms around his uncle’s leg in an effort to hug him. Jake reached down and tousled the boy’s hair, beaming down at his little nephew as he scooped him up for a hug.

“Well if it ain’t my favourite nephew! Miss me?” Jake chuckled as he gave his nephew a tight squeeze.

“Sure did!” The boy grinned, in an accent that almost perfectly matched Jake’s. 

“Easton, give your poor Uncle Jake a minute’s breathing space, he just got in the door!” Jake’s sister, Stephanie shook her head as she laughed, her hand on her hip as she watched her son fuss over his uncle. 

“Nah, don’t worry ‘bout it, Steph, I missed the lil’ guy, I don’t mind being showered with a warm welcome. Besides, he’s gotta say hi to me now before his big moment on stage tonight!” Jake grinned, ruffling Easton’s hair once again.

“I’m gonna play one of the smart guys at Jesus’ birthday party, Uncle Jake!” Easton said proudly as he puffed out his chest.

“You’re gonna be a what, bud?” Jake bit his lip as he held back a laugh at the six-year-old’s misinterpretation of a nativity play.

“Well, Mommy said wise means smart, so isn’t that what a wiseman is?” Easton furrowed his brow as he thought it over.

“I guess in a way, it does, pal, but you know, I fell asleep during Sunday school a lot, I wouldn’t listen to me.”

Jake set Easton down on the ground, the boy running off to go get himself changed into his outfit for his performance tonight. Jake laughed as he smiled and gave his sister a hug. Stephanie pulled away from his embrace after a moment and laughed at him, shaking her head. 

“You know, Mama’s been talking to that girl you used to like back in elementary school again. She volunteered to help for the nativity play, she’s helping coordinate it,” Stephanie smirks and nods her head, “You know…the one you used to run around naked in the backyard with when you were 4, her mama and Ma are good friends…what was her name again?”

Jake froze as a wave of nostalgia washed over him, the memories of you and him playing together as kids came flooding back, enveloping him as he was transported back to a time where you and he were the best of friends, completely inseparable as kindergarteners, best friends who couldn’t be without one another for more than a moment. That was, until, you had moved to the other side of the city when the two of you were 8 years old. By the time high school had come around, you were reunited again, but something was different - the best friend he knew as a young child was gone, the two of you having taken different paths in your preteen years, different interests now shoehorning their way between you, making it harder for either of you to ever reconcile the friendship you once had. 

Jake was an all-star athlete in school, captain of the lacrosse team, star quarterback for the football team, and first-baseman for the baseball team. He was in a world you weren’t a part of when it came to high school, and you two struggled to find your way back to one another. He’d always had feelings for you, for as long as he could remember. After you’d both grown so distantly far apart by the time you’d reached high school, he never had the courage to ever tell you. The mere thought of you was enough to get his heart racing all over again, just like it did in high school whenever he saw you walking down the halls. 

Jake shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and shook his head, trying to appear indifferent to the mention of you.

“I dunno, can’t remember. I haven’t seen her in like, 16 years, Steph.”

“Hmm…,” Stephanie smirked as she raised her eyebrow at him, “You best go get showered and changed. Gotta leave here in about 45 minutes.” 

Jake emerged from the bathroom twenty minutes later,  freshly showered, shaved and dressed in a creamy beige coloured sweater and his favourite dark washed denim jeans, cognac brown cowboy boots adorning his feet to complete the look. His golden blonde military-approved haircut was gelled up in the front, the way he’d worn it every day for the last 20 years or so - he swore up and down that if he didn’t use the hair gel, it’d be an unruly mess, though everyone around him knew he was just a creature of habit whose life motto was “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  

The drive to the church was a quiet one, little Easton was practically buzzing with excitement in the back seat beside Jake, but insisted on not speaking so he could save his voice for the lines he had in the play. Jake couldn’t help but laugh at the child’s insistence on playing the part so professionally, but Stephanie had simply nodded and smiled, giving Jake a look that explained this was just how Easton was, a perfectionist like his uncle. 

The church auditorium was full of parents and families waiting to see their children on stage for the next hour, a handful of lines of dialogue shared between each child in order to make it fair for everyone. Phones were held out with cameras pointed at the stage, each parent excitedly watching for their child’s big moment. Jake took his seat beside his sister and her husband, his parents seated to his left. They all smiled proudly as they watched the stage, waiting for Easton’s big stage debut. 

Jake had noticed you standing by the front of the stage, a few rows of seats ahead of him. You were discreetly and quietly helping the children when they got stuck with remembering their positions on stage or the lines they were supposed to say. You looked just as he’d remembered you - in fact, he’d argue that you’d only grown more beautiful over the last 16 years. He felt his heart racing again, a soft, rosy pink hue filling his cheeks as he smiled in your direction. He could hear his mother lean over and whisper something to his father, who dissmissively rolled his eyes at his wife, trying to stifle a laugh. Stephanie smirked to herself, and her husband, who was none the wiser about your lifelong crush, sat confused, trying to work out what he was missing. 

“Jake,” Stephanie whispered to her brother, nodding her head slowly as her eyes stayed on the stage, watching for Easton, “I’d say somethin’ to her if I were you. Can’t go back to California and not say a word to the poor girl about how you feel. Maybe she feels the same way and y’all can have something together before you go back in a couple’a weeks?” 

Jake shook his head slightly, a warm smile on his face. His green eyes were betraying him as he spoke, showing how he felt as his words contradicted him.

“I don’t still have feelin’s for her, Steph. It was just a crush in high school. I bet she’s even forgotten me.”

“She hasn’t,” Jake’s mom piped up as she whispered, leaning over Jake’s father to speak.

“What?” 

“She hasn’t forgotten you, Jake,” His mother simply repeated before returning her attention to the stage.

Jake spent the next 20 minutes mulling over this information from his mother, and the words of encouragement from his sister. While there was always the very likely possibility that the two women were meddling and trying to set him up on a date with someone, anyone, who they thought he might have a shred of happiness with, there was also the possibility they could be right - maybe you really had been harboring the same feelings for him all these years too. 

After the play had ended and the auditorium had cleared out, Jake approached you, waiting politely for you to finish your conversation with another parishioner, one congratulating you on the play being a success. Jake smiled warmly, his million-dollar grin on full display, a twinkle in his pale green eyes as he spoke. 

“Hi, I’m not sure if you remember me or not?” He began.

“Jake, right? Jake Seresin? I suppose you’re a Lieutenant now, your mama told me about it, congratulations!” She smiled warmly, nodding her head, “I could never forget you, we used to be good friends back when we were just lil’ kids.”

Jake nodded his head, unable to control the wide, beaming grin on his face as she spoke, revealing that his mother was at least right about one thing, you’d never forgotten him. 

“That’s me! My mama’s pretty bad for bragging about me, sorry ‘bout that,” Jake laughed as he shook his head, running a hand to the back of his neck, his finger tips running through the ends of his short hair in the back, “Listen, I, uh,” Jake stuttered for a moment before shaking his head with a laugh. 

“I’d like to take you for a drink or something, we could catch up? For old times sake, I mean, if we both remember being good friends when we were little but haven’t spoken in 16 years, then we have a lot of catching up to do, don’t we?”

Jake grinned as you titled your head, an eyebrow cocked upward in a challenging manner as he waited for your response to his proposal. 

“I’d like that, actually,” you responded, nodding her head, “I’m free tomorrow, if you’d like?”

Jake nodded his head, laughing softly as he smiled, unable once again to fight the urge to feel hopeful and hopelessly in love as your unrequited crush from 16 years ago accepted your text. Jake had no idea what he was doing at this point - he wasn’t a dater, he was generally unable to keep a relationship going longer than a couple of months, usually out of fear of what would happen while he was deployed. Would they cheat? Would he’d make it home ok? What would they do if Jake didn’t come home exactly the way he’d left it - not having a relationship was just easier.

However, in this moment, hearing you agree to have a drink with him tomorrow night, Jake was staring to wonder if maybe his bachelor streak was coming to an end. And he couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that it all unfolded because of his nephew’s role in his childhood church’s nativity play.

8 days til' Christmas

clearing up the confusion of your incident with hockeyplayer!gojo satoru ⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅̩̩͙‧͙ ‧͙̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆

10 days til' Christmas ← previous part

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When you had woken up, you thought maybe you were in heaven. Everything was so bright and white and quiet. And sterile and—where am I? You thought to yourself as you tried to sit up quickly. Just then the whole world was spinning.

"Don't try to move too fast," you heard a small deep voice say next to you.

You slowly lowered your head back onto your pillow and turned to face the person talking. There you saw Gojo sitting on a hospital bed next to yours with a cast around his left leg.

Just then your mind started playing the moments that had happened in 5x speed. "Gojo I'm, I'm so so sorry," you started as tears began to sting your eyes.

Realization punched you in the face. He broke his leg trying to save you and all you got was a minor concussion. You could get back on the ice in two weeks. He would have to wait six months and go through rehab afterward. I ruined his career, you thought to yourself putting your shaking hand over your mouth.

Gojo opened his mouth to say something but you shook your head holding up your hand for him to stop. You slowly got up and left the room. Eyes trained on the whit and able checkered floors. Not the kind of blue that could comfort you.

You refused to see him, you couldn’t stand the sight of his broken leg. You couldn't stand the thought of being the reason why he couldn't play the sport he loved. Because of our stupidity, Gojo couldn't play hockey. He probably only ever said it was okay because he felt like he had to.

. . .

I couldn't speak to her. She probably rushed out of the room because she was in pain and because she wouldn't be able to skate for two whole weeks. I wish I could have protected her better. I hate to see her in any sort of pain. Most of all, I'd hate to think that she was worried about me.

I didn't care about hockey. I cared about getting her attention. Getting her to like me and think I was worthy of her time of day. I played hockey so I would have an excuse to watch every one of her practices. That's when I figured out I didn't love hockey anymore. I wasn't worried about not being able to skate. I was worried about not being able to watch her skate. It's a pretty profound thing to discover as a 13-year-old middle schooler.

An insane part of my mind fantasized about her thinking about me and being worried. Not even the slightest bit of anger towards me, just worried. Wondering if I'm okay. But I'd have to be a full-blown madman to think that she doesn't hate me.

. . .

You felt a large hand latch to your wrist. You turned around to see Gojo. "Hey my mom wanted me to invite you over for dinner at my place," he said.

Mission failed.

"Sure I would love to, welcome back Gojo," you replied.

"Thanks, you looked great out there," he complimented.

"Thank you, I'm glad you like the new program," you said as you walked away.

Your shot conversation with him fueled some pep into your step. You had something to look forward to tonight. Your mo was already informed about dinner plans so didn't know why he bothered telling you in person, but you didn't mind that he did. You felt like you betrayed yourself by restricting your conversation with him.

You had to go in some sweats and a hoodie because you had no time to pick out an outfit. When you arrived at Gojo's house, he was wearing the same thing.

Dinner was nice besides the numerous awkward times Gojo caught you staring at him. You couldn’t help yourself. You missed looking at his gorgeous face. He knew how handsome he was, he kept laughing to himself when he would make you blush by staring back.

Your parents shooed the two of you away so they could plan Gojo's upcoming birthday.

The two of you opted to watch Family Guy on the TV in his basement. The two of you sat next to each other in silence before he broke it. "I can't believe we're going to be seniors next year, time flies huh," he started.

"It seems like it was just yesterday, we were in middle school doing our thing," you said.

"Yeah, remember my crazy neon pink cast?" he chuckled.

At the mention of his injury thinking back on that incident, your smile dropped.

"Hey I never got the chance to formally apologize to you about that, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I had ruined your career that day. I was so upset that you got hurt because of me," you confessed.

"What? No, I felt so sorry for giving you that concussion," he said.

"That was nothing, you broke your leg, I was so worried," you confessed.

He looked at you like he didn't believe the words coming out of your mouth were English.

"I thought you hated me for that," he admitted.

"I thought you hated me for almost ruining your career as a hockey player," you replied.

"No, I could never hate you for anything," he confessed.

"Oh," you replied.

"Yeah," he said filling in the gap of silence.

The two of you sat thee in silence with your heads turned back to the TV. You could practically hear each other's smiles and feel each other piercing gazes on each other.

You felt your hands brush becoming hyper-aware of how close you were. Just as you started to enjoy each other's company it was interrupted by your mom calling you to go home. It was quite late. Not too late to express your feelings to Gojo without worrying about him hating you for it.

So you gave his hand a squeeze before getting up to go upstairs. "Would you like to get a coffee with me tomorrow morning?" he asked keeping his flushed face turned way from yours.

"Sure, yes. I would love to do that, with you," you said as you rushed up the stairs.

. . .

Petals (Roy!Sibling x Connor Roy)

Character/s: Connor, Shiv, Roman, Logan, Willa, Marcia

Word Count: 1,315

Requested: hello! is it okay if i request more roy baby sibling and connor? i’d like to see them asking connor to dance at shiv’s wedding (or maybe even at his wedding?)! thank you :) - anon

Requested: your younger roy sibling hcs have been rotting my brain recently and now im imagining 8 year old them making a drawing for connor's birthday that is them holding hands with big hearts and "wish you were my daddy" written in big kid letters (probably with spelling mistakes) and connor just like. sobbing when he reads it. i feel like hed be such a big father role to a significantly younger sibling (i personally imagine them and roman having a around 10 year gap, so thats probably like ~35 years of different between them and connor). and we all know what a shitty dad logan is/was, so i can see younger sibling calling connor after some big fight with logan and crying while begging him to pick them up and let them live with him and it breaks his heart cause logan would never let it happen and he tried but couldnt protect ken and shiv and rome and he just wishes he could at least protect his baby sib but he just cant and it kills him. anyway happy thursday thought haha roy family brainrot - @fromirkwood

Inspired By: Petals on the Moon by Wasia Project

Tag: @locke-writes

A/N: I know the second one wasn't exactly a request, but I couldn't get it out of my head!!! Big Bro Connor is my absolute favorite!! I hope this doesn't rot in your brain too long my love lol. I just couldn't get it out of my head, especially when it was combined with the other request!! Feedback is always appreciated 💜💜💜

Time is a thief, at least that’s what he thinks when he looks at you, spinning with your sister on the dance floor. Your smile is so bright, so wide, your cheeks flushed. You drank too much, no doubt it was Roman refilling your glass without your notice. The song picks up speed, picks up in joy, and you break out into laughter, you and Shivy. It’s as if you’re in your own world and only she’s in it. You spin and jump and sing along, your niece and nephew beside you and the bride. He hasn’t seen you this electric, this alive, so much like your old self, in weeks. Connor considered himself lucky to be able to watch, to bear witness. Just moments ago you were a baby, doodling with your thick crayons, mistakenly calling him Dad instead of Logan. Only recently had he learned that's who he was in your phone, Dad, that Logan was simply Logan. Years pass, but so little changes. He still had all your fathers day cards stashed away, hidden before your real father caught what you were doing. Stick figures, one tall, one small, hand in hand surrounded by flowers and butterflies and other bugs. Happy Fathers Day Connor. Your uppercase letters always slanted, crooked, his name spelled with one N instead of two. It wasn’t long until his figure started sprouting gray hair, graying far earlier than anyone else in the family, and yours grew taller every year. Connor feared you might have forgotten about him, that you were getting too old to need your eldest brother like your siblings had, but you proved him wrong after that night. 

You hadn’t even wanted to go to the wedding. It was so bad. Whatever was said and done remained a mystery. You wouldn’t tell him, tell anyone, just that it was bad. He’d gone with Willa to pick something out for you, knowing you left the house with nothing. You refused to try it on, to come out of the spare bedroom. It wasn’t until the day before when they were getting ready to leave, accepting that there was no way you were going, did you come out with your outfit packed. You weren’t going to miss Shiv's big day because of him, you declared, and it was settled. He couldn’t contain his excitement, grinning from ear to ear. Letting her down, letting him down, just because of your old man, it seemed like a cruel punishment. You sat beside him in the plane, his hand on your knee, trying to disregard the dread in your chest. They’d all heard about your big blow out, they all wanted to know, going to Connor first instead of you. You were the closest, you told him everything. When he had nothing to say, when all he could offer was a warning, it said something, something more than he was expecting: whatever happened got to you. It genuinely hurt you. They imagined the worst, unsure of what to do. He was at a loss, too. Your father could say and do as he pleased, you’d always been the best at ignoring him, especially when he was in one of his moods, but this time? This time was different. It stung more than all of the other fights you’d had with him, and there were some memorable ones. Never had you yelled back like that, never had you stormed out in a fury, never had you sobbed to your brother like that on the phone. This wasn’t the kind of thing that would go away on its own. It wouldn’t heal with time. 

He could almost forget the crack in your voice as he watched you now. That sad, crying child looked so different from the young adult on the dance floor. Eventually you came over to him, asking him to dance. As if on cue, a slower song came on. This was far different than the last time you danced together. You stood on his shoes, swaying, giggling that high pitched giggle, the one that made his heart melt. You were so little then, so tiny, he was scared to let go. Now you swayed on your own, your arms around him as if you’re scared he’ll flee, your face buried into his chest. Thank you for letting me stay with you. It came out mumbled, muffled, but he understood. Anytime, kiddo. You’re a pleasure to have. Your eyes were big when you looked up at him, as if trying to decipher if he was telling the truth or not. His smile, so reassuring, told you he meant it. I’m sorry about Pops. you shook your head, not wanting to hear his name, not wanting your brother to carry the guilt for him. If he was going to apologize you were going to hear it from him. Not anyone else. Connor spent the entire night putting distance between the two of you, becoming your human shield. Logan, it seemed, had completely forgotten about the whole ordeal, kissing Shiv, saying hello to your brothers, like nothing was amiss. They each shared a glance, all looking to Connor for help, for guidance, just like they had when they were little. He knew what he had to do. How bad was it, kiddo? He asks. Bad. It’s all you can say without upsetting yourself all over again. 

He called you his greatest failure. Spineless. A mistake. You don’t remember how it started, only that you were bleeding out on the floor before him and he refused to put the knife down. A plague to the Roy name, a curse, a bad seed. You never should have been born. A loser. Incompetent. He’s not sure where you came from, but you are certainly not his. You should be smarter, work harder, but instead you are nothing, you are nobody. No one has ever or will ever love you. It hits you so hard, so forcefully, it knocks the wind out of you. He means it, he means every word, but especially that. That’s what kills you, that’s what makes the tears slip down your cheeks. That’s not true, you try to spit back, but he’s not listening and you’re crying, and you’re proving him right. He keeps talking. You can’t hear it, though. You’re gone. You’ve retreated into yourself, so far back he cannot possibly get you. You stand there, unmoving, as he gets in your face. No one has or will ever love you. No one has or will ever love you. It plays on loop, again and again until you cannot breathe. Finally you back away, you run from him, slamming each door behind you. Marcia calls out to you, hearing what went down, but nothing can stop you. Through the busy sidewalks, sobbing uncontrollably, you call him. You can’t repeat what he said, you still can’t. You know that would make him furious, all of them, and it is not their burden to carry. A quiet fear has settled in the back of your mind: what if he’s right? 

If he knew, if Connor knew, he would have killed his father. No one said that to his baby, no one ever dared talk to you that way. But he doesn’t, and he never will. You have vowed to yourself that neither him nor your other siblings will know, for fear that they might agree with him. That they’ll show you he’s right. Instead they watch you carefully, ready to intervene should that be necessary. You hold on to him tight long after the song ends, not wanting to let go, to be alone with Logan's words. Connor doesn’t mind at all. He’s his happiest when his siblings need him, when you need him. He’ll always be there to rescue you. Always. It’s his job, you’re his greatest love. You all are.

Some of my Disney treasures ❤️ I’ve been besotted with Disney for as long as I can remember, it’s a life long love of mine for sure. I’ve had a big collection throughout the years but had to downsize for various reasons but these, my mugs (I might share) and my pin collection are what I’ll probably always treasure now as each one has a special meaning behind it 🩷 Firstly the Minnie and Mickey snowglobe was a Christmas present a few years ago from my parents after I very sadly broke my Minnie and Mickey nutcracker one that I loved, Olaf was also a gift from an old friend the year Olaf’s frozen adventure came out and I took myself to see it in the cinema on my own and was the only childless adult there 😅 The Frozen musical jewellery box was also gifted me after one I gotten for Christmas sadly broke, my grandad took me to the Disney store and treated it to me to cheer me up 💙 The art of Disney book is filled with postcards of beautiful concept art from 1937- 1961 which is one of the best eras of Disney for sure, also a gift. Moana I got for Christmas a few years ago from a small family member who picked her out for me which was extremely cute 🥰 she’s also wearing friendship bracelets from that said family member 💚 and lastly my Tigger plush I’ve had since as long as I can remember and my talking room guard Jessie I got with my birthday money back when I turned 8. Unfortunately she lost her hat and stand and broken when she was thrown into a sink full of water which also faded her outfit but I could never part with her!

Nadia's Birthday

~ it's July 8, so here's how you might celebrate Nadia's birthday with her! Enjoy ^.^ ~

You would love to say that the morning of Nadia's birthday was calm and relaxing, but truthfully, you can't remember the last time the palace was this busy

She is the Countess of Vesuvia, after all, so it's only natural that the entire town would be involved in celebrating her birthday as grandly as possible

Not to mention the Prakran royal family - it's their first opportunity to celebrate her after years of no contact and they can't resist

Which is why you're woken up by her waking up, when a bell she's programmed to go off at a specific time alerts her to the beginning of her hectic royal birthday

Thankfully, you planned in advance for a light and energizing breakfast to be brought to her chambers so she can have a few moments of peace with you before getting thrown into chaos

It's a small surprise, but it's successful and deeply appreciated

Her eyebrows will raise and her mouth will drop open a little, and then she'll sink back into her cushions and allow you to wheel the tray of food closer to the massive bed to eat together

She will insist on having you sit next to her so she can feed you

Reclining back in the cool, smooth sheets, admiring the fresh face above you while she dotes on you before having to take on the cares of the day

Even on a day about her, she finds the greatest joy in caring for you

She's tempted to delay her duties just a little longer to stay in bed with you, but Chandra appears at her window to remind of her of the time

Insists that you take your time to get ready for the day, placing one last tender kiss between your eyebrows before dressing and heading out to oversee the planning of her own birthday party

Thankfully, her sisters have all arrived in the previous week and are hard at work helping her out and lightening her load

Meanwhile, you take advantage of her busyness to find the sisters and staff members not currently working with to her to finalize your own plans

Nadia knows that you've requested the week after her birthday to remain free for you to schedule her time as you please, but she has no idea what sort of vacation you have planned for her

She's been trying to guess for some time now - borrowing Asra's house in Nopal? An in-town vacation at your old shop, wearing disguises every day and pretending to be common folk?

Don't tell her, you got access to the Papess of Firent? That territory is impossible to visit!

You spend the morning completing your own preparations, finalizing travel times, packing your bags, packing her bags (with Portia's help), coordinating teleportation with Asra -

- listing all of Julian's suggestions for things to do at the seaside while remaining as un-sunburned and hydrated as possible, asking the sisters for pointers on how to behave in a vacation palace -

- are you allowed to use it like a normal home, just bigger? Or does the "no running and sliding in socks down the halls" rule still apply? You really, really hope it doesn't

You finally catch up with Nadia again at lunch, where she's sitting down for the first time in hours and getting a moment to catch her breath

She already looks a little tired and socially drained, so you check in with her sisters and Portia to cover the two of you for an hour while she gets a quick nap before the late night of partying

She's surprisingly open to your suggestion of a quick rest. Until you realize that she's had the same idea too, and that she's steering you towards her private bath and not her chambers ...

If you protest she'll simply explain that she's picking up where she left off this morning, before Chandra (the responsible darling) so rudely interrupted her

The next hour and a half pass so smoothly you almost forget about all the duties waiting for both of you until you finally make it back to her rooms and find your outfits laid out for the evening

And of course, she's coordinated your ensemble with hers perfectly. Arcana forbid you appear at her celebration poorly dressed

The afternoon passes in a flurry of activity. You're busy playing a support role as the Countess's partner, and a planning role as the court's official magician. The Palace doors are opening before you have time to blink

The party isn't anything like the Masquerade - while Nadia still had to go out mid-morning to officially invite all of Vesuvia to her party, the celebrations are only expected to last one night

It's a little quieter too. There's dancing and music and incredible food and wonderful entertainment, but none of it reaches the wild fever-pitch that you've come to associate with Palace events

Nadia, ever-graceful, doesn't expect you to remain in the center of activity with her, but she appreciates it when you do

She keeps you on her arm as the two of you stroll through the lit up gardens and hallways together, stopping between guests to glance at you from the corner of her eye with a loving smile before moving on

She'll also open the dancing with you, as is tradition at this point. She looks at you like she's the most fortunate woman in the world to have you for a partner in front of the whole town, but you feel like it's just as true in the opposite direction

You know it's time to start putting your own plan in action when she starts giving signals that she's about to retire to her chambers (sometime around one in the morning)

She doesn't want to seem rude or ungrateful, but she's noticed a distinct lack of presents from you and her family and close friends, and she couldn't help wondering what had happened

She starts to get an idea of it when you take her hand at the foot of the stairs, leading her away from her chambers and towards the garden maze, where Asra is waiting next to the fountain

"MC, my darling, can it be that you are about to reveal your mysterious plans to me? Consider me deeply intrigued."

Portia, Nasmira, and Natiqa have already ferried your bags and a massive pile of birthday presents through to your destination, and all that remains now is to pass through the water yourselves

The two of you join hands and sink into into the water, you savoring another glimpse of the curiosity sparkling in Nadia's eyes before you rise up out of the waves of the Sea of Persephia

The moon is well on its journey across the sky, but Nadia needs no help to figure out where she is: the sparkling water, the quiet private beach, and her family's Sea Palace sitting in the distance

You know that she often used to retreat here as a child to escape the summer heat, and now it's lying empty and inviting for the two of you to spend a week doing nothing but enjoy each other

She has her shoes in one hand and your fingers woven in the other, gazing softly in awe at the gift of rest and peace you've given her

And then she slowly, sweetly, sleepily leads you up the sand, into a week of playful mornings and drowsy afternoons and delightful evenings and wondrous nights

5 8 10 and 12 for kasta!

5. How do they typically dress? Does their wardrobe lean more towards practicality or aesthetics?

(I need to update Boy Kasta's ref at some point)

Probably the most practical thing about Kasta's outfits are their footwear, cos they always have to be quick on their feet during fights and light when they sneak around places. Otherwise, whatever they choose to wear is mostly because it looks nice or it's breathable enough for them to sleep in. Or both.

One thing I always keep a mental note about Kasta is that they usually wear something on their head when they feel self-conscious about their horns (It's either a head scarf or a hood for Girl Kasta, while Boy Kasta wears a knitted hat given to them as a gift from Maxi).

Either way, their wardrobe gives an air of mystery to Kasta.

8. Do they have a nickname? Who gave it to them? If it's not derived from their real name, what's the story behind it?

They prefer to either be called Kasta or Nik cos it sounds cool. The Conduit also sounds cool af. The One Who Can Swallow an Astral Fissure is funny, but it's a frickin' mouthful to say.

10. If they wear jewelry, what kind? Do they prefer silver or gold? Do they have a favorite gem?

I talked about their piercings before, cos they're something I always draw on Kasta and thought nothing of it.

Cut to me playing Libra of Soul again and the Gold and Azure Sword choice thing pops up, I see Kasta, and was like, "...wait, I can work with this," and now they're a reference to those two swords.

Gold just fits very well with their outfit.

They wear a pentacle amulet cos it was said to protect the wearer from harm (in a spiritual sense), and knowing their infliction affects their soul, they need all the luck they could get.

Then again, it might also get them into trouble with some people considering its association with witches and that time period was notorious for their witch hunts (Kasta's not beating the witchcraft allegations any time soon).

Their favourite jewels are Rose Quartz and Carnelian.

12. How long have they been around? Do you know their birthday? Is their birthday the day you made them or another day? What do they think of celebrating birthdays?

I've already answered this a while back, but I'll answer again.

When Kasta began their Libra of Soul adventure in 1584, they are either 21 or 22 years old. Their birthday is April 2nd, 1562.

I gave them that birth date cos it's also MY birthday, and I find it funny cos I forgot that Xianghua's birthday is ALSO April 2nd, so now lore-wise, they celebrate it together whenever Kasta gets the chance to meet up with her, Kilik, and Maxi.

For a long time, they didn’t like to celebrate their birthday because of the painful memory of the first birthday they had after their father passed away, but that eventually changes as they continue on their journey.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Thank you for the ask and have a wonderful day or night!

Ask game's right here if anyone has questions or if y'all wanna do it yourselves:

[starrysharks]

how old are all the characters in reassassination???

kids:

the youngest character so far is needles who's around 6-8 (the CCO doesn't have her birth certificate or any records but she seems around that age). there's one minor character who's been floating around in my mind who *might* end up becoming realised and canon too, tho that might be unlikely as i don't want to change up the story this far in. they're around 12 though.

teens:

octavia is older chronologically, but died at 18. vivica has her 18th birthday around a third into the story as is planned. onion is 16-17 even though they're in senior year a they skipped a grade accidentally, and jaundice is 18.

adults (so most of the cast):

kranken is 32, and novocaine doesn't like sharing her age but she's around the same as kranken as they went to school together. for assassins, the greed bunnies are in their mid-late 20s while the greed assassin himself is around 45, lunette is 43 and romèo is 28. for other assassins who i haven't drawn yet -

the wrath assassin is around 65. he's to be a sort of angry loud war vet type.

the gluttony assassin is the oldest at 80, and she's to have a sort of cleric look to her (i want to take inspo from some traditional catholic ceremonial outfits)
