i have such a weird difficulty balancing real life productivity and creative productivity. like when if i'm having a day where i'm getting lots of things done irl, even if i block out 30m to write and i have the time, i'll be too tired or uninspired to get myself to do it. i'm basically overwhelmed by the concept of doing Real Life Things and Writing Things in one day i almost need to carve out entire days for writing if i want to really get any done. and kjfdnkj that then keeps me from getting life things done because i get into a writing cycle and i can't get myself to stop neglecting real life until i finish the chapter/oneshot/draft/etc... i'm working on. which can take days. and then it's harder to motivate myself to get back to the Real Life Things

"... Maybe..." he murmured after a moment. "That's probably true. But I'm still trying to... Uhm... Figure out what that means for me. Freedom."
turianspeedjunkie​:
Dius blushed. He’d reched Mav’s hips, softly smearing the gel over the wounds after his talons. Maybe he should trim his too, just a little. “Not for you too?”
He shrugged and spread his legs a little again so Dius could get the medigel where it needed to go. “Yeah, for me too,” He laughed softly. “But… but I think it means more for you, that maybe it resonates differently.”

Fic: Home
When Regulus first mentioned he was moving out of Sirius and Remus’ place, his brother insisted it wasn't necessary. But today, on his last day, Sirius couldn't hide his excitement about living alone with his boyfriend. Regulus was genuinely happy for them, though what bothered him most was leaving their cozy flat behind and getting used to a new living arrangement.
Moving out meant finding a new place and a new roommate. Regulus had enough money to live solo, but the thought of loneliness irked him more than anything. Sirius knew this, which is why an hour after Regulus announced his departure, he received a text from James Potter.
[Jamie] Come live with me
Regulus smirked at his phone. James had saved his contact with that nickname, hoping Regulus would feel guilty about being mean to him. He didn’t, but that didn't mean he wasn't growing fond of James.
[Regulus] Where are your manners, Potter? Shouldn’t you at least ask me out first?
[Jamie] You’re such a princess. I have a spare room and you need a place to live.
[Regulus] So you’re my knight in shining armor coming to my rescue then?
[Jamie] I mean, I do have the looks for it.
[Jamie] Just take the offer.
[Jamie] Don’t even try to say you don’t like my flat when I know for a FACT that you do.
[Regulus] Fine. You sure?
[Jamie] Positive, princess.
AAAAH IM SO EXCITED

One with Lewis and action 9?! This man’s jewelry is top tier so any SO of his would have the same!
yes absolutely i can't believe i haven't gotten this one requested yet AAAAH
it's silverstone. it's his home race. of course you're going to put a little bit more effort into your appearance. sure, you always put effort into how you look before you make any sort of public appearance because the one you're making said public appearance with is the one and only sir lewis hamilton. no big deal.
"you think i look presentable enough?" you do a small spin for him, your violet converse squeaking quietly on the tile floor and your hair tossing slightly over your shoulder as you halt. lewis looks up from fiddling with his watch, his eyes skimming you once, up and down your body, and he immediately smiles so much you can see the stars in his eyes. today, he sports a navy blue tommy hilfiger rain jacket and his signature baggy pants.
"oh, darling, you look absolutely stellar. you always do." he approaches you, holding his wrist out to you. "can you clip me?"
"absolutely. you look amazing, too, y'know. as always," you add as you slip the strap of his watch through the metal clasps, smiling up at him and briefly kissing him sweetly. when you pull back, his eyes flick down to your chest (as usual,) and you hook your right pointer finger under his chin. "lew... my eyes are up here."
"your necklace..." he repeats with equal cadence as you just had, "is twisted." his hands reach up towards your chest, gently pinching the pendant between his thumb and pointer finger and moving the chain so that the clasp rests on your spine. the fact that he treats you with the utmost care and kindness makes your heart melt, and you can't help but kiss him once more, a smile on your face. lewis' hands gently rest the chain on your collarbones and ensure that the pendant rests perfectly between your breasts, making sure that everyone knows whose guest you are (despite the entire internet knowing damn well that you've been with lewis for the past year and a half.) "your tits look fantastic, too, though."

Hi! I recently discovered this and i took me a while read everything but i just couldn't stop it, I love it! Can you someday write something about F reader and Ace like childhood friends to lovers?
Aaaah I am glad you like! And I hope you like this, I don't do gendered readers I'm afaird <3 I hope thats okay.
Ace x GN Reader SFW WC: 889
Tumblr media
You’d known Ace since you were both kids, when he wasn’t roughhousing and causing trouble with his brothers he was with you. You’d lay on the grass together and stare at the sky, watching the clouds. You could tell he enjoyed these moments as much as you, tired from a day of rolling around and screaming at Sabo and Luffy he just took the time to breathe in your company. 
“That cloud looks like a goat,” You pointed and Ace followed your finger, narrowing his eyes at the white fluffy shape before scoffing. “More like a sabertooth tiger,” He replied as if that was a simple fact and you were wrong. You huffed back at him. “But the horns look!” You nudged him with your elbow and waved your finger, trying desperately to paint the picture for him.
“You're blind!” He nudged back. “What?” You sat up and frowned at him, he sat up with you and wrapped an arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to him as he nodded to the shape. “No, no, look at it this way!” You rolled your eyes knowing you were right.
Despite the occasional disagreement, he was your best friend, and every moment you spent with him you were at your happiest.
-
“What?” You asked, loudly as you almost dropped your drink and stared at him. “Yeah! I got a boat and a crew, I’m finally ready to set sail as a pirate!” you shook your head, thinking about the long months he’d vanished, you’d been worried sick about him and now he came back with all these wild promises of adventure and claims he was ready to set sail and make something of himself.
Sure, he’d grown up, filled out, and come back with a devil fruit power, he still hadn’t gone into the details about that, but still. Ace was happier, confident and you were happy for him but the way he was coming back into your life just to leave again? 
You were both teenagers and despite the time and space that was ever between you over the years you remained best friends. You felt your heart ache as he carried on talking about how he was going to leave today, how the world was waiting for him. You’d always known he was desperate to be heard, to be seen, to pave his own way, and to avoid the looming shadow of his father's legacy, you’d just always hoped you could be at his side for it. To see him shine like the star he was.
“So,” You started and he watched you “You came back after all this time just to leave again?” to leave ME again.
“I- what? No!” He slammed his hands on the table, making the cups wobble and spill. “I was coming to ask you to join me! I don’t think I could do this without you.” He said with determination to get you on his side again before he reached over the table to grab your hands. “Come on, like we always talked about!”
Despite your better judgment you joined his crew, and became a Spade pirate. You hadn’t been serious when you were kids, how you’d both talk about the possible future but you couldn’t be without him again and you had a feeling he wouldn’t have taken no for an answer. Ace was as stubborn as he was cute.
You even stayed by his side when the Whitebeard Pirates had assimilated you all to their ranks, you’d cleaned Ace’s cuts, bandaged his wounds, and tried to talk him out of killing Whitebeard, though you knew that was never going to happen. 
It had been years now, the way you carried on growing up side by side. You’d held his hand when he’d taken the leap and gotten the huge tattoo on his back, you had a matching one, just much smaller than the one that marked his pride in his new life and role as the second division commander.
You’d gotten closer and spent all your free time with him. He was lying on your bed as you finished washing up for the night, ready for bed, and watching as Ace was dozing off on the bed. This was how it always happened, he had his own room but more times than not he would fall asleep on your bed and you’d wake up bing spooned by him. His strong arms around your waist and his lips against your neck as he snored.
“Marco asked how long we’d been dating today,” you started and he snapped awake, looking at you from under his hat. “And what did you tell him?” you laughed at his reaction, he must have been asked the same question by other whitebeards. “I said since we were young.”
You got into bed next to him, taking his hat and setting it on the nightstand, gently brushing back his hair and seeing his brows furrow as he wrinkled his nose. “Are we dating?”  you shrugged and got comfy, feeling him latch onto you almost instantly, 
“I think we crossed the line of what is acceptable for friends a while ago.” You said, closing your eyes as you felt the breath from his chuckle tickle your neck from how close he was nuzzling you.
“Yeah, I guess so.”

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I REALLY LOVE THIS CLIVE X READER BIRTHDAY COMMISSION FANFIC!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! DEFINITELY WILL COMMISSION YOU AGAIN NEXT WEEK!! YOU'RE SO SWEET!! 🥺💜
Tumblr media
Gift
Clive Rosfield x female reader, 2,856 words Commissioned by the lovely @kianaflame23 who has kindly given permission for me to share with you all x
Tumblr media
You’re up before sunrise, which isn’t unusual. There’ll be an abundance of tasks to do in the Hideaway and you’ve never been one to shy away from work, even if some would claim your Name Day to be the perfect excuse to neglect any semblance of responsibility in favour of celebration.
Not for you – you’d never been all too fussed about it, nor the attention that came along with it, not even as a child growing up in Rosalith. Every year, your mother would hold afternoon tea in celebration, though you never had a say in who was invited, or in any gifts you might receive. It was always the same - dresses of fine silks, jewelry, delicate tea sets, fine threads for your embroidery lessons…
When all you really wanted was the freedom to run around in the fields of the duchy, rough-housing with the boys, ditch your needle and thread for something bigger and sharper within the training pits.
The last Name Day you had somewhat celebrated had been years ago now, though in some ways it had proved to be the most memorable one. It started off as the usual affair of being fussed over by noble ladies, some who still insisted on pinching your cheek as if you were still a babe, commenting on how you had grown into such a fine young woman, and how surely a courtship would be announced forthwith.
You’d asked your mother how true that was after the guests had left, wringing your hands together behind your back so she couldn’t scold you for it.
“Don’t worry, darling,” she’d replied with an assured smile. “Such a decision won’t be made without your father present.”
It hadn’t reassured you at all.
That night, you’d clambered out of your window cautiously after your household had retired. All day, you’d gone along with your mother’s whims with no complaint, surely you could permit yourself this – the gift you really wanted. The streets of the Rosalith are quiet this evening, some Shields posted out by the front gate, some by the main castle itself but neither of those are your destinations. You make for one of the training pits that’s nestled away against the city’s walls, near one of the stables. It’s smaller than the main one the Shields frequent. The real swords will be locked away, but the wooden ones would remind in their racks, so what would be the harm of you having a play?
You pick up the training sword and pretend to thrust and parry, trying to recall the few techniques your father had entertained you with years ago when you were young and pulling at the hem of his robes to be taught, just like all the boys were. It’s not as entertaining without an opponent, but you still feel the exhilarating thrill as you pretend. In the peace of the night, there’s a scuff of a foot against the cobbled streets and you spin on your heels, hiding the wooden sword behind your back. Your eyes soon widen at the figure before you, who looks rather startled in return.
“Lord Rosfield, my sincere apologies. I thought-”
He smiles bashfully, rubbing a hand on the back of his head. “No, please forgive me for startling you, my lady. I thought I would have the pit to myself at this late hour, though I appear mistaken.”
“A reasonable thought, of course. I will go.”
“No.” He says, perhaps a little too quickly. “I mean, please do not leave on my account.”
“You have greater need of it than me.” The sentence sounds wrong as soon as you say it. “Not that I mean you’re not skilled in swordplay, you are the First Shield after all, just tha-“
Clive puts up his hand, cutting you off with a smile. “I understand.” He lifts the latch on the gate and enters the pit. “Though I must ask, what brings you here at such a late hour?”
“It is my Name Day,” you confess – something about the look in his eyes makes you truthful. Clive has always been sweet in your limited interactions with him, ever the gentleman, kind with the Bearers of the duchy too. “Mother has started talking of suitors. I wanted to do something that I’d truly enjoy today at least, as a gift to myself before I cannot. I suppose it is childish.”
“Not at all.”
“It is, though. When I was little, I wanted to fight.” You laugh at your foolishness. “There are no female Shields in Rosaria, never have been.”
“Not yet.” He corrects with a smile. “You could be the first, if that is truly what your heart desires.”
“Even if I could find someone willing to train me, it is far too late.”
Clive muses for a moment, before heading over to the training rack and picking up a wooden sword of his own. “You said it is your Name Day – well, I’d be remiss not to offer a gift.”
“Oh, no, I-“
“A sparring lesson – a gift to you as much as it is to me.”
And thus had begun a series of late night pit meetings with one Clive Rosfield.
--
“My lord,” Ser Tyler murmurs in his ear. “I do believe we are being followed.”
Clive spins on his heels, his knuckles turning white from how hard his grip is on the hilt of his sword, his brow now furrowed. It is his first command, he’s only so far out of the gates and he’s already missed danger? All such feelings of failure are extinguished when he spots the pursuer. Barely obscured behind a tree he sees you, sticking out like a sore thumb.
Clive releases his grip on his weapons and nods to the two Shields. “Permit me a moment.”
“Of course, my lord.”
You remain standing there, sheepishly wringing your hands as he approaches, fearing of a scolding, of interrupting the duchy’s duty as you are not quite able to decipher the expression on his face.
“My lady, I beg you - what drove you to leave the city? It is not safe out here.” His expression turns to one of pure concern, his eyes flitting around you in order to quell any such danger that might be lurking.
“You did not say goodbye.” You pout, feeling childish now you’ve said it aloud. He hadn’t shown at the pit last night and it was only this morning you’d found the reason why – they were to make for Phoenix Gate.  
He feels a warmth prickle over his cheeks and hopes you do not spot it. “True. I did not say it… but only because it is not goodbye.”
“It’s not?”
“No, for I will return anon. You have my word.”
You hesitate, wondering if your next question will be out of turn. “How can you be so sure?”
His hand falls to his side then on a dagger Elwin had given him when Joshua had awoken as the Phoenix. Its only value was sentimental – the dagger having been Elwin’s own as a young lad. It is sturdy and deadly sharp still, and though he still favours the sword in combat, it holds a dear place in his heart.
The same very space that you seem to be burrowing into.
Clive offers the blade out to you, hilt first. “Here, for if my lady has my dagger, then I must return in order to retrieve it.”
“I couldn’t.”
“I insist. As a Shield of Rosaria, we swear on our blades,” he pats the hilt of his sword with his other hand. “And for my return, I swear on my dagger.”
You reach out for it, fingers curling around the hilt. You make sure the blade is clear of his fingers before you withdraw, feeling the weight in your hand.
“I will hold you to this.”
“I’d expect nothing less.” He smiles. “May I escort you back to the gates?”
“No. Thank you”, you hastily add. “You have your command – I’ve already held it up. Besides,” you smile as you slide the dagger into your belt. “I have this now, if I am to encounter any bandits.”
Clive’s eyes widen at the idea – a protest on the tip of his tongue. They could still make it back to the gates and then reach the village befor-
Something warm and soft on his skin interrupts his thoughts. You’re stood to his side, standing on your tip toes, having pressed a kiss to his cheek. Stepping back with a grin, you turn and sprint back up the path, back towards Rosalith.
Clive touches his cheek where your lips had pressed.
“My lord, is all well?” Ser Tyler’s voice calls from down the path.
Clive wipes the smitten smile off his face – time to concentrate.
--
The night of Phoenix Gate changed everything.
It took your father away, the Grand Duke, the Phoenix too perished in the attack…
And sweet Clive.
Your mother was lost when the Iron Blood invaded. Aided by the techniques Clive had taught you in the training pit, the lend of his dagger and some luck, you’d escaped the bloodshed and the city, fleeing the only home you’d ever known.
You’d made your way to Port Isolde, seeking refuge – a new start. Your mother had enjoyed the markets there, so much so you’d often spend weeks staying with some distant uncle or aunt, and you thought perhaps you could seek pity off a friendly face there. Imperial guards had shooed you away at the gate, beggars weren’t welcome.
There had been talk of a tunnel from the Lazarus District into Port Isolde, you vaguely recalled, from some of your older peers. Boys sneaking into the city to escape their parents’ watchful eyes. The place had been all but abandoned when you’d clambered over the wall, deciding to seek shelter for the night before properly exploring for a route in the morning.
And that’s when you’d met Ser Wade and a few other Shields, battered and bruised but alive, trying to regroup – later to become the Guardians of the Flame.
--
You’re leaned over the map that Wade has crudely put together upon, marking the points of where he plans for simultaneous attacks to be launched on the Black Shields. You hear his footsteps approach – having spent so many years fighting side by side, you’d recognize them anywhere.
“I still think this is a ridiculous plan, especially you insisting on going on y-“
You turn as you speak, but your words die on your tongue at the man who stands beyond Wade – tall, rugged, shaggy black locks over stormy blue eyes that are so very familiar.
Too familiar.
“It cannot be.” Your heart pounds in realization.
“My lady…” Clive’s eyes widen as he takes you in.
To everyone’s surprise, you drop to your knee, fumbling with something at your belt.
“Here,” you remove the dagger, offering it out to him hilt first. “I must thank you for your gift all those years ago – it has saved my life more times than I wish to count. And now I can return it to you, as promised.”
To your surprise, Clive does not take it but drops to his own knee. “I think it is best left in your possession. I would be remiss to separate the two of you now.”
“But it is…”
“Please. In fact, I insist upon it, for what is a Shield of Rosaria without their first blade?”
You swore you fell in love all over again at that moment.
--
You’d been at the Hideaway a few weeks now – Wade having offered your services to aid with the Cursebreakers a little too willingly to aid with a shortfall in their numbers due to injuries. You didn’t mind, though you knew Wade seemed to have ulterior motives, confessing to you over a pint at Martha’s the night before you left.
“Lord Rosfield was sweet on you – I remember that.”
“That was years ago. A different lifetime, even.” You’d corrected, but to little avail. Though the flames that you had felt for him all those years ago had reignited at your reunion, it was surely not to be.
Clive was your friend and, more than that, he was an inspiration to all those around you, fighting for a higher cause – priorities came first. There was no time for frivolities. Just having him as your friend was enough.
Or so you lied to yourself.
The day passes as it always does – there are supplies to be carried up to the stores, discussions to be had, a ride in Obolus’ skiff to the shore to forage some herbs for the infirmary – the particular herbs only to be found in a place notorious for fiends.
You hadn’t seen Clive that day, but that was not unusual. He always seemed to be pulled in different directions, barely at the Hideaway before he had to leave again.
But every time your eyes met, you were taken back to those nights in Rosalith, a blush heating your cheeks as he’d smile that charming smile of his.
“There you are,” Otto catches your attention as you head to retire to your bunk at dusk. “Clive’s looking for you – down at the pit.”
“Oh?” You look at Otto for more information, but that is all he gives.
You hurry down to the fighting pit – it’s not somewhere you’ve ventured into before, though you’ve seen some of the newer recruits practice. Clive is stood in the middle, shed of his usual leathers but still his laced white shirt. His sword is leant up against the fence and he has his hands on his hips, his eyes fixed out into the horizon.
You clear your throat as your approach and he swings around, a grin on his face.
“Thank you for coming so swiftly, my lady.” He walks forward and opens the latch on the gate, beckoning you forward as he steps to the side.
“I must say I am intrigued.” You walk into the pit, though your heart is beating with uncertainty - what is this all about?
“How could I let your Name Day pass without a gift?”
You blink – your heart skipping a beat at the fact that he remembered, even after all that time, after all that has happened and all that is happening. “Oh, no, that’s-“
“I insist. And as for this gift, well,” he walks over to his sword, “the gift I gave you on the last of your Name Days we shared together seemed to go down quite well - I thought mayhaps you’d enjoy another?”
You grin, reaching for your blade.
“To spar with you again would be an honour.”
It is not a real fight by any means – both of you too wary of hurting each other and receiving a scolding by Tarja. You hadn’t known the healer long, but long enough to fear her anger – but still it is challenging enough, especially as the pit is on the smaller side. The clash of your swords echoes across the blighted waters of the lake, grunts of exertion, sand filling your boots as you step to and fro, entering into some sort of dance as the two of you fight.
You think you’ve bested him, somehow, by the way your thrust sends him off balance and how his eyes widen with the shock of it. He reaches out and grabs for your arm, perhaps to steady himself but failing miserably, only inevitably bringing you down with him, smacking into his chest, knocking all the air out of you for a moment.
You drop your blade as you catch your breath and begin to get up, try to shuffle off of him, an apology on your tongue – though it’s hardly your fault – but the Fire Dominant wraps his arm around your waist as you attempt to do so, holding you in place.
You swallow, not sure if you’ve ever been in this close of proximity of the face that so often haunted your dreams.
“Permit me to give you one last gift, my lady?” He asks, softly – as if the position you find yourselves in is entirely normal.
“Depends on what it is.”
He smiles softly at your response. “Close your eyes and you’ll find out.”
You do – squeezing them tight to not allow a sliver of light through. You feel fingers ghost your face before a hand caresses the back of your head and, suddenly, warm, soft lips press upon yours.
You open your eyes, startled, for a moment, only to see Clive’s are firmly closed as he begins to deepen the kiss. You close yours again, reaching a hand up blindly to cup his face, kissing him back until the two of you have to retreat - breathless and dizzy with emotion.
“I know you are not a fan of your Name Day,” he presses his hand over the one you still hold against his cheek, “but I would be remiss not to celebrate the day that brought you into this world and blessed me with you, my darling one.”

lyney x male reader fluff
like fluff n cuddles after a show
HIII SWEETIEEEE YIPPEEE lyney requests >:}
Character : lyney
Synopsis : cuddles after lyneys magic show
Warnings: a bit angsty idk, tired lyney, playful kiss, aaaah
.
.
.
Magical, one word to describe the incredible sensation in front of your very eyes, lyneys shows were always so extraordinary, no matter how many times you attended them, you were still amazed every time. How could you not be? Its your boyfriend on stage after all, with that charming smile, and wink he flashes the audience,but you know who that smirk is for, and you also see how his eyes glide over you through our the show, but you knew him deeper than the smirk he shows, you knew how nervous he is.
So to no suprise, after the curtains close, and the crowd leaves, you run up the stairs of the stage, steps heavily creaking on the wood, as you pull the curtains back, a flinch from lyney, but he soon recovers, making it seem as if nothing. But the tiredness in his eyes, and the heaviness of his body was noticeable. This was the third show today, usually he has one per week, but the season has been busy, not that hes complaining, but he cannot lie that it isnt draining him. But he can lie, for you atleast. He smiles tiredly, but soon lowers his head, takes a step towards you, he cannot resist you, he never could.
Before he knows it he's in your arms, so tightly embraced by your strong yet tender arms, he just wants to relax, to have nothing to worry about, and he doesnt when hes with you, like this, in your arms. Behind the curtains, solely you two, on the quiet quiet stage. He smiles against your neck, squeezing you tighter, planting a quick kiss on your jaw, just as a little playful gesture, however tired he may be, he's never too tired to tease you...
Even though, now hes just going to snuggle into your embrace, wishing to simply stay like this forever, to never worry about anything but you, your warmth, and your comfort. His arms around your waist, his head in the crook of your neck, nothing but the breaths of you two being heard in the room. These are the moments he cherishes the most, your bodies so close, almost emerging together, with nothing but calmness and love between you two

ok, let me be annoying about richas and forever relationship for a bit, cause, wow
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"the next day, there was only one of them. well, it was dad forever 0_0. lets say that, he was always here"
We all know Q!Forever in the first day didn't give a shit about Richas because cc!Forever legit thought it was a bot. This led to his chat bullying him and calling him an absent father, which led to him logging in the next day JUST for the sake of beating the allegations. This is how we get this clip:
"Aaaah Richarlyson!! Hi, son! Hi, beautiful~ "Dad?" How cute! That's right son, daddy came!"
Now meta wise we all can FEEL Forever's ironic tone about it because he wasn't taking RP seriously at the time, and also this is the first time Ricardão played Richas since the first day it was 01 playing Richas. In lore, though? This is q!forevers first actual contact with his son, taking care of him and doing his tasks.
...And ever since this first day, he never stopped doing it. Because Forever would log in and Richas would already be logged in. Because Forever would do 10+ QSMP streams for the grind and his only company was Richas. Which culminated on Forever being Richas' most present father ("let's say that, he was always here"):
Tumblr media
"he's my most present dad and the one that takes care of me the most, without him I'd be very sad"
No matter what happened, Forever was always there for Richas. Forever was there during insaneduo divorce, Forever was there when Felps got Felps'd, when Cellbit went as a martyr. Forever was there when Richas' dad's kept disappearing one by one. When Pac got kidnapped by the code, Forever and Richas IMMEDIATELY hugged each other, desperate about how their family keeps disappearing. Forever was still there whenever they thought over armor, Forever was still there despite how Richas and him were spending less time together, Forever was there to offer comfort when Richas finally opened up about what he feels when he wakes up after a Romero Richas appears.
...And now.
Richas was told of the black goo infection, but no matter how much Forever kept saying things were fine, Richas knew they weren't. He told Mike yesterday about how whenever Forever went to sleep, he would stay up to take care and look over him. And then Forever is gone, and there's this entity taking over him, threatening to hurt Forever's body to make Richas' obey. And Richas begs for BBH to be able to pull out Forever from death if things go that way. And Cucurucho shows up and takes @v@ away, and the only thing they tell Richas is that Cucurucho got him, maybe killed him, maybe hes dead, or maybe cucurucho is taking care of him.
And Richas' doubts all these options. He doubts Cucurucho is able to take care of Forever because he knows that previously cucurucho couldn't (happy pills + black goo medicine not being enough). And he doubts Forever is dead because *Forever has always been there*. That's his most active father, the one that takes care of him the most, the one that was always there for him.
Tumblr media
"And if mom asks me today, tomorrow... I won't believe kK"
And we just. Have Richas telling this to Tubbo about Forever.

And I just. "he's my most present dad and the one that takes care of me the most, without him I'd be very sad"
"without him I'd be very sad"

AAAAH i love your bakugo x biker!reader series every time you post a new story I get so excited their relationship is so cute and your writing is so compelling I just have to read them over and over again
Awwww anon!!! Thank you so much!!! That is high praise, and I appreciate you sharing your love for them so much~ Methinks I need to start a little timeline for that sweet n' spicy reader... and perhaps give you a lil sneak peak into an idea I've had recently where biker!reader is a bit cheeky... all in good fun, right?
To catch up on this series and my other MHA fics, check it out here!
Bakugou x biker!reader WIP incoming...
Tumblr media
Picturing UA holding a Work Study Expo -a new initiative by Midoriya to help connect would-be heroes with Pros they may not know yet; namely for the hero courses, but also with added attention for the support students!
Enter our darling biker!reader. Reader is sandwiched by Kirishima and Bakugou to come attend-- the boys both RSVP with a unanimous 'yes' seeing a UA reunion tour in the making, with Bakugou particularly excited to take you there to see his former school since you'd received your secondary education elsewhere.
You're happy for it too; gives you just a little more insight into the place that had a large part in building him up to the hero status he is today...
...until the three of you are checking out the figures across the reception space-- and you freeze when you spot someone. Kirishima clocks it as a starstruck response and despite your harshly whispered word of denial, he makes off in golden retriever fashion to go get them.
Bakugou would be... a bit intrigued to see this reaction from you. Not that you weren't allowed your idols (even though he feels no one holds a candle to Allmight by default), but he was curious as to why you would look so... antsy. It wasn't quite a 'Deku' level of floundering - but that purposeful squaring up of your shoulders and avoidance of his eye contact altogether gave him cocky cause to tease you further.
"What, scared to meet your heroes? Figured you'd be plenty used to that by now."
"Shush,heisnotmyhero."
"Oi--" Bakugou cocks his head to the side, effectively forcing you to look at him over your predicted line of sight. "What's your issue then, angel eyes?"
With an unavoidable storytime bubbling in your gut, you run the risk to see if you can sum everything up for him by the time Kirishima comes back-- or at the very least, figure out the nearest exit to gracefully disappear to for the next fifteen minutes or so....
You pull him aside lightly by the wrist, closer to one of the tables of handouts for the event.
"Okay... You have to remember one thing, promise?"
"Yeah?" Bakugou chimes back, entertained.
"This happened before I met you."
His interest doubles, but smile falls, "...yeah?"
"I have not thought about it one day since.."
"... yeah?"
"Remember how I told you," you tread lightly as some students pass you by with some excited waves, "-when I transferred here, I had to work with that proviso license from the Commissions office 'cuz of the whole 'double-triple-check' applicants' liabilities clauses? And mine took forever and a day, because of all those traffic violations that were completely legal where I was last stationed?"
"Uh-huh."
"And that meant I took nothing but graveyard shifts for the first, like, six months... so I basically broke ground solo before the agency could pick up my contract?"
"Uh-huh...?"
Reader sets the scene for a particular alleyway they'd been stationed at, something of a traffic stop role and in prime position for hopping onto the freeway if needed. Helmeted with your visor up, you could keep on coms while getting a little bit of fresh air to keep you awake.
But it's also the sort where villains make their playground meetups and cause some trouble for unsuspecting folks. It's easy work- though trouble could crop up at any time....
Enter the hero you caught sight of across the room: the man you'd watched string up a trio of baddies so expertly, you knew they were never gonna get anywhere near you, so why flinch?
The hero who'd snidely commented how he coulda appreciated the help, but who you assured with a saucy 'you had it under control, hon'.
The hero who you proved yourself to by jumping into action together in a bit of an impromptu high-speed chase.
The hero who ultimately caught your name, but chose to call you 'Speedy' after your impressive performance. Who said you were no rookie like he thought.
The hero who chipped the lip of your helmet in thanks and patted the rear of your bike in a casual move before setting off into the night again, sufficiently making a mark on your fluttering heart as your new favorite hero of Japan.... who you cannot believe you with and who is now approaching over Bakugou's shoulder:
"... AIZAWA?!?"
"Eraserhead," you corrected gracefully.
A flurry of emotions crossed Bakugou's largely incredulous face, though he settled on merely repeating,
"You flirted... with Aizawa?!"
Forcing Bakugou to lower his volume was a lost cause, but you could control yours, "I had-not-met-you-yet-- remember that!"
And was it considered flirting? You could barely get a read on the guy
"Nah, I'm still stuck on my fucking teacher hitting on you... and you called him what?? You know how fuckin' old that guy is?!!"
"Thirty-nine." you fire back immediately.
"--HEH?"
And you can't stop-- though you have the gall to look a little sheepish.
"Scorpio. Ambidextrous. Has a white cat named after the title character of Samurai Jack."
"...."
"Went on Present Mic's show a few months back.. not that I had a notification or anything for when it aired-"
Bakugou stands in a rare moment of silence. Disbelief, rage, shock, and maybe something heated lay behind his eyes, but you honestly can't tell which is going to win out.
".. you're fucking with me."
"I am not."
"
"Absolutely not! Kats, he is never going to single me out of an entire room here, and think back to one patrol night out of thousands, that's ridicul--"
"Bakugou... 'Speedy'."
Alongside Kirishima's proud presence who had been anxiously awaiting this interaction stood Aizawa: fitted with his off-hours eyepatch but who clearly did -in fact- remember you.
As long as you avoid Bakugou's absolute stare of death, you can properly school your reaction to be one of perfect charm; as always when meeting other Pro-Heroes. It's not like you still hold any feelings whatsoever with this man... but you'd truly rather have this conversation anywhere else than beside your darling Katsuki, who's about to blow up if you so much as smile at his former homeroom teacher.
"Should I be scared that you remember me sans helmet, or flattered?" you offer pleasantly.
Aizawa gives a little bow to you before straightening up with a smooth reply, "I never forget a face."
If looks could kill, Shota Aizawa should be collapsing on the spot under Bakugou's eye. And even if you think it's a harmless comment, you know for a fact you'll be paying for it later.
--Scene--
To be continued, m'loves?
TLDR; Bakugou:

Mc: *clinking a glass to make a toast* Today we are here to say goodbye to the year in human style. Thank you for lending the castlr, Diavolo.
Diavolo: *smiling* No problem Mc.
Mc: We say goodbye to this year full of stories, anecdotes, laughter, full of good moments but also of bad ones, some of them very bad.
Mammon: *beginning to tear up*
Luke: *on the verge of tears too* You're a crybaby.
Mc: All of us have grown up, we have learned to accept ourselves, to understand that we don't have to be what everyone expects but what we are, and above all to love ourselves, it is not a finished job but it is something.
Lucifer: *putting his arm in Satan's shoulder*
Satan: *smiling a little*...
Mc: There have been times when we needed help and times when we have given help because life is about giving and receiving, not just one thing. Our happiness does not have to be ours alone.
Levi: *recording while smiling* You should note that Mc...
Asmo: Say it sweetheart!!!!
Mc: It has been a year of changes, even though we did not want them, even though we preferred everything to remain the same. We have felt that we have been taken away from what we lived for, that we no longer belonged to the place we could call our own… changes are not always good but we must continue.
Mephistopheles: This human...
Raphael: ...
Mc: We have faced difficult things that we did not like and, therefore we have learned that sometimes, no matter how much we want to, we have to let go and go on with our lives, because clinging to the past is useless, we cannot change it, but we can change the present and the future.
Beel: I think there is something in my eye
Simeon: He, he *wiping a tear* me too.
Mc: There have been times when we have felt alone, and there will be circumstances in which we will have to face certain things alone, but that does not mean that there are no people by our side.
Thirteen: I believe that was meant for you, butler.
Barbatos: My, I think it was also addressed to you, reaper.
Diavolo: I thinks it is addressed to everybody...
Mc: We have had to say goodbye to people in our lives, we have not been able to tell them how much they made us feel… but, we have met new ones, and thanks to them our day to day life is a little brighter.
Solomon: Aaaah, this apprentice of mine.
Belphie: Is brighter thanks to you Mc...
Mc: Despite all this, we have survived…. And we are still together, my year has been a roller coaster but I have had you guys by my side, and I only ask for the new year that you continue by my side, that we face our sorrows and joys together. Thanks for everything guys, I love you.
Applause, cries and laughter fill the palace hall, Mc climbs onto the table and with a radiant smile raises their glass, looking first at everyone around them and then at the translucent angelic figure smiling broadly at them from the other end of the room.
Mc: Happy New Year!!!!
.
.
I just want to wish all of you reading this a very happy new year!! 🥂 (A little later). I hope you start this 2024 on the right foot and that you can achieve what you set out to do and above all I hope you will be happy. As for me, I will keep on trying to survive the day to day, and I hope I can write more, draw more and spend more time with my loved ones.

No Room to Breathe~ Harrison Gray
Tumblr media
Epilogue
This a fan translation so it is definitely not 100% accurate. I do not own anything related to Ikemen Villains. Support Cybird by buying their amazing stories!
This chapter contains explicit content | NSFW | MDNI
Content Warnings: light bondage, nipple play, fingering, dirty talk, vaginal sex
Part 1 | Part 2 | Premium End | Epilogue
Tumblr media
With my hands handcuffed, I roll onto the bed.
It’s like a fox… no, it’s like a rabbit being eaten by a wolf.
Harrison: “I got excited thinking about touching you wearing these, you’ll show me your cute face won’t you?”
Harrison: “Kate…. Tonight, let me do a lot of mean things to you.”
Kate: “You’ve been mean enough already…”
Harrison: “Huh, so you’re satisfied with this meanness?”
While I was lying on the bed, Harry undid my blouse and put his hand on my corset.
Harry’s hand slowly pulled it down.
(Ah… I can usually cover it with my hands.)
Tumblr media
Harrison: “You can’t hide anything today, can you? Look, I can see everything…”
My breasts spilled out, leaving them exposed in front of Harry.
Harry always fondles my breasts, licking and doing all sorts of nice things to them,
Today he just looks at them.
(…w-why?)
Even though I was just being watched, a sense of shame slowly rose in me and my body started to heat up.
As if I’m waiting for something to happen.
Harrison: “Oh, have you had enough of me being mean?”
Harrison: “I haven’t done anything, but here, it’s getting harder.”
Kate: “Ngh, mean…”
Tumblr media
Harrison: “You just love it when I’m mean to you.”
Harrison: “Here, say it. ‘I don’t like Harry being mean to me.’”
Kate: “….Harry being mean to me.”
Harrison: “Mm?”
Kate: “I hate it.”
Harrison: “….yeah, that’s a lie. You really are… mmm…”
Kate: “Aaahh…”
He takes my breasts in his mouth, caressing them to elicit pleasure.
So much pleasure causes me to twitch, the handcuffs restraining my hands make a noise and further provoke me.
The fact that I am unable to hide my skin or resist, allowing myself to be attacked, gives me a dark sense of immorality.
(….ngh, more, I want to be fucked.)
Tumblr media
Harrison: “Haa…hot.”
Kate: “Aah….oh…Harry.”
But my lover, who can see through lies, won’t overlook my foolish desires.
My knees are spread wide open, and I heard a soft sound.
Tumblr media
Harrison: “Your underwear is so wet…Lift your hips so I can take it off?”
Kate: “Yes…”
Harry looked down at me with my hands bound and my legs spread apart.
With a chuckle, Harry’s fingertips touched the wet spot.
Kate: “Ahh…nngh.”
Harrison: “Haha….that’s amazing. It’s dripping…”
Harrison: “You’re bound with your hands tied, so excited, so wet…You’re so easy to understand.”
Kate: “…Mmn, please don’t say that.”
Harrison: “I’ll say it. Every time I do, you make such a pretty face.”
Tumblr media
Harrison: “I’m going to slip my finger in, and stir you up into a mess… so moan a lot, okay?”
Kate: “Eh, Aah…Aaaah… ngh!”
The wet sounds gradually became louder and louder.
I feel dizzy with embarrassment and pleasure.
Harry’s fingertips know all the most sensitive parts of me, and my reason melts into mush.
Kate: “Ngh, Harry…. I’m already….”
Harrison: “What, will you beg for me today?”
When I nodded, I heard the sound of a belt buckle being undone--.
Harry’s hot length forced its way into my wetness.
Harrison: “……Beg until the end, keep saying you want my cock.”
Kate: “What will happen, if I don’t beg for it…?”
Tumblr media
Harrison: “I won’t give it to you.”
(Embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing. But…)
Kate: “…. Please. Please Harry.”
Harrison: “…Ah, okay. Here…”
Kate: “Aaagh!”
The sweet pleasure of being filled in the deepest parts of my body is intoxicating.
Tumblr media
Harrison: “…Haha…you’re so tight. Does it feel good?”
Kate: “…Yes…ngh.”
Harrison: “I’ll make you feel even better....Ngh…”
Kate: “Aah…. Aaah…”
I was fucked with my legs spread wide apart, and my gasps spilled out incessantly.
(…I want to be more and more deeply connected. Because I’m in love with Harry.)
Harrison: “……”
Harrison: “…I feel like I’m seeing your face for the first time.”
Harrison: “For you, that’s a face I don’t know yet.”
Harry stroked my head gently as he moved his hips.
Harrison: “If I stay with you forever, I wonder if I’ll be able to see everything.”
Kate: “…I have many faces. So… will that take longer?”
Harrison: “Haha”
Harrison: “Aah, yeah. That’s what I want.”
A few days after being handcuffed, Harry and I were discussing where we were going to go.
Kate: “Then let’s say where we want to go. Ready, go!”
Kate: “Sweets shop.”
Harrison: “Book store.”
(Uh…it doesn’t match again.)
Tumblr media
Harrison: “How about the sweets shop first, then the bookstore?”
Harry’s proposal brought my sinking excitement back to the surface.
Kate: “That’s awesome!”
Harrison: “Mm, good. Well…”
We reach out to each other at the same time.
Kate: “Fufu, we work well together on these things.”
Harrison: “You wanted to hold my hand, so I just put them together.”
Kate: “Oh, is that the truth?”
I was so happy that we held hands at the same time that I shook them together,
Harry’s shoulders shook as he laughed.
Kate: “Hey, Harry. What will you do if I can’t keep my hands off you.”
Harrison: “Give me a break.”
Kate: “Eh?”
Tumblr media
Harrison: “I want you so bad, I can’t work.”
Kate: “But the other day you didn’t show any signs of…”
Harrison: “Have you forgotten that I’m a liar and a cursed fox?”
Harrison: “That means I can deceive you in a heartbeat.”
Kate: “…No, that’s mean!”
Harrison: “You love such a mean liar.”
With a sweet proclamation, Harry kisses me just enough to touch me.
After our lips parted—we both smiled at the same moment.

playing with the hair and "you sure this is ok" sounds so soft aaaah I hope you'll find inspiration, I love your writing
got a little sappy with this <3
bed-sharing prompts: person A idly playing with person B’s hair while they’re asleep + “you sure this is okay?”
the sound of love astounds me
Eddie’s man-behind today. Bobby tries to be fair with it, not constantly relegating the probies to the job no one really wants, and today it’s Eddie’s turn again.
He’s grateful for it—he slept badly last night, and that’s probably why Bobby made him stay behind in the first place, taking pity on his dragging feet and muffled yawns not one hour into their shift.
They’re past the 18-hour mark now, late night blanketing the firehouse in a thick, heavy quiet. The rest of them have been out on a call for a while, a three-alarm factory fire at the edge of their jurisdiction. Eddie’s itchy about it, always is when it’s a more serious call and he’s not there alongside his team. Not there alongside his partner.
Buck’s a big boy, and Eddie knows, he knows him not being there isn’t going to unbalance the dynamic of their team so dramatically something goes wrong, but. He’s supposed to have Buck’s back, and as much as he trusts the rest of the 118—with his life—no one else is Buck’s partner. Not the way Eddie is.
The sound of the engine backing into the station catches his attention and he gets up from the couch, leaning over the loft railing as everyone stumbles out the rig, sooty and sleepy. Hen looks up and gives him a tired smile, Chim bumping into her shoulder as he blows Eddie a kiss before heading to the showers.
Buck’s last out the engine, exhaustion written into the slump of his body. He doesn’t look up at Eddie, seemingly lost in his own thoughts as he shuffles slowly after everyone else.
Eddie reheats dinner, serving it all up just as the rest of his team flops into chairs around the dining table. Still no Buck.
“Did you cook this?” Ravi asks, poking suspiciously at the casserole with a fork.
“I’ve made my peace with food poisoning, I’m so fucking hungry,” Chim says, mouth already full.
“Hey,” Eddie protests mildly. “I followed Bobby’s recipe exactly.”
“Really?” Bobby asks, examining his own plate in surprise. “Oh, uh, no, of course. Looks good, Eddie, thank you.” He takes a very deliberate bite, making a big show of chewing amidst noises of approval.
Eddie sighs and turns to Hen. “Where’s Buck?”
“Still showering,” she tells him. “Rough one today.”
Eddie’s heart sinks. “Did you lose someone?”
Hen shakes her head, setting down her fork. “No, no—sorry, didn’t mean it like that. He got stuck carrying two guys out on his own, though. And one of them was in pretty bad shape. Think his whole body is feeling kinda tender.”
“Oh,” Eddie blows out a relieved breath. “Okay.” He smacks Chim’s hand away from the last corner of the casserole. “That’s for Buck. You can have some more garlic bread.”
Chimney pouts at him, and Eddie ignores it in favour of covering the casserole dish and sticking it back in the oven to keep warm.
One by one, everyone wanders to the bunks, drained from the day. Eddie hangs behind, clearing up the kitchen and waiting for Buck to show up. There’s no sign of him by the time the counters are sparkling, so he flops back down on the couch with his book. If it’d been a bad call… Eddie’d like to think he knows what Buck needs, usually. And sometimes that’s just a minute to decompress by himself, washing off a weight of weariness rather than an intangible hurt.
Sure enough, he hears the quiet padding of Buck’s footsteps come up the stairs not much later. Eddie cranes his head over the back of the couch, smiling upside-down and wonky when Buck comes over.
“Hey,” he says. “You okay?”
“Mm,” Buck hums. His eyes are droopy with exhaustion, cheeks ruddy from being under the hot spray of the shower for so long.
“Dinner’s in the oven,” Eddie tells him.
Buck exhales heavily, giving him a small smile. “Not so hungry.”
“Sleep, then,” Eddie says, nodding in the direction of the bunks.
Buck grimaces. “Everything aches.”
“All the more reason to sleep,” Eddie presses.
Buck looks at him, blinking tiredly. “Okay,” he says, suddenly amenable, rounding the couch and climbing onto it. He drapes himself across it, settling on his back and shoving his head into Eddie’s lap with a contented sigh. Eddie sits frozen, book in one hand and the other hovering over Buck’s chest.
Buck cracks open one eye to look up at him consideringly. Eddie smiles down at him automatically, can’t really help himself, and gently lowers his forearm to rest across Buck’s broad chest.
“This okay?” Buck asks, slightest note of hesitancy in his voice.
“Better if you were asleep,” Eddie says, flipping the page of his book. He lets the hand curled around Buck’s torso squeeze gently, reassuringly, even as he goes back to reading.
Buck huffs an amused breath, wriggling a little as he settles more firmly in Eddie’s lap, turning his head to get comfortable. This angles his face so that it’s basically pressed into Eddie’s crotch, tip of his nose brushing the fly seam of Eddie’s pants.
Eddie swallows, positioning his book a little higher to cover any change in expression his face might betray, because—it’s Buck, and this isn’t sexual, but God, Eddie hasn’t had this kind of intimacy in his life in a while. He’s less worried about popping a boner from his best friend’s face so close to his dick and more concerned Buck’ll take one look at him and know just how badly Eddie wants him this close, all of the time.
Whatever. If everyone had a friend like Buck, everyone would be a little insane about loving him this much, too. It’s not an Eddie thing, it’s a Buck thing.
Buck’s breathing evens out, deep and steady, and Eddie reads until the words start swimming on the page. He yawns, putting the book down and wondering if he can catch some sleep like this, because he’d rather be trapped on a desert island with his parents than wake Buck up right now.
Buck’s snoring lightly, warm puffs of breath Eddie can feel even through the fabric of his pants. His hair is curling messily from his shower and—there are bits of… something in it? Eddie sighs, knowing Buck probably just zoned out under the spray for half an hour without actually scrubbing his hair at all.
He runs his fingers through Buck’s hair, dislodging flecks of indiscernible airborne debris from the fire. He cards through more purposefully, combing it out as best he can and scratching his nails gently against Buck’s scalp.
Buck murmurs, nuzzling into Eddie. The hand closest to the back of the couch scuffles along the cushion till it finds Eddie’s, wrapping around it and tugging it to his chest with such strength Eddie blinks in surprise, astonished that he’s still asleep.
Eddie goes back to sorting through Buck’s hair one-handed, discarding tiny pieces of detritus lodged in his curls. He gets a little lost in it, something calm and hypnotic about the repetitive motions: stroking, cleaning, brushing through, over and over and over.
He’s startled from it when someone clears their throat softly. He just about manages not to jerk in his surprise, and Buck remains slumbering peacefully. Hen’s standing a few feet from the couch, eyebrow cocked and mouth quirked with amusement.
“There a reason you’re grooming Buck like a monkey picking nits off her baby?” she whispers.
Eddie flushes, removing his hand from Buck’s curls. “He has a bunch of shit in his hair from the fire,” he says defensively.
Hen bites down on her smile. “Okay, okay,” she says soothingly, like she’s talking to a spooked horse. “He forget to actually wash it during the longest shower known to man?”
Eddie sighs, fingers resuming running through Buck’s hair almost unconsciously. “You know how he gets when he’s this tired.”
Hen hums, and Eddie looks up at her again. “Why’re you up? Can’t sleep?”
She shakes her head, inclining it towards the bathrooms. “Just needed the toilet.” She makes as if to head back down, then pauses, looking at him assessingly.
“What?” Eddie asks.
“Nothing,” she shakes her head again, smiling softly. “Just—I don’t think there’s anyone other than Karen and Denny whose hair I’d pick through voluntarily. And any other kids of mine, I guess. Family.” With that, she turns and disappears down the stairs.
Eddie swallows. He looks down: Buck, face pressed into Eddie’s stomach; Buck, hand clutching Eddie’s arm to his chest; Buck, curls wild and springy from where Eddie’s been running his fingers through them, cleaning him, grooming him, taking care of him. Hen’s not dropped a bomb of any sort on Eddie; Buck’s his family, he knows that, Buck knows that, he’s fairly sure anyone who’s ever met them knows that.
But he thinks yeah, there isn’t anyone other than Chris and Buck whose hair he’d pick through like this. And maybe that’s a different, more specific kind of family than he or anyone else realised. Maybe that’s a different, more specific kind of love.
Buck snuffles discontentedly in his lap and Eddie scratches his scalp soothingly, heart settling as Buck settles.
So maybe the reason Eddie wants him close all the time is slightly different to what he thought. This remains true: if everyone had a friend like Buck, everyone would be a little insane about loving him this much. That’s a Buck thing. But maybe, if he’s open to it, Eddie can make loving him this much, every day and in every way, an Eddie thing and exclusively an Eddie thing.
Buck shifts on the couch, tugging Eddie’s arm a little higher up on his chest, and Eddie splays his palm over Buck’s heart, feeling the steady thump.
When Bobby wakes them both for breakfast hours later, Eddie leans against the table to stretch the crick in his neck from sleeping sitting up. Behind him, Buck reaches a large hand out to massage the junction of his shoulder gently, and Eddie melts into his touch.
“Would you pick nits out of my hair?” he asks before his brain comes fully online.
“Sure,” Buck says, not missing a beat. “D’you have lice?” He leans forward to inspect Eddie’s hair and Eddie swats him away.
“No,” he says, slightly offended. “I do not have lice. Just—hypothetically.”
Buck yawns. “’Course, Eds,” he says. “Your lice are my lice, and all that.” He serves himself a heaping of scrambled eggs and ambles off to the kitchen to grab orange juice from the fridge.
And maybe Buck is just the kind of person who, unlike Eddie and Hen, would comb through anyone’s nasty hair. But your lice are my lice is more romantic than anything Eddie’s ever heard, even in his own wedding vows, and when Buck knocks his knee against Eddie’s under the table before stealing a bite of hash brown, Eddie thinks maybe this love between them is equally cared for, a two-way street in every sense of it, a Buck-and-Eddie thing.
