Enchanted Beginnings

Percy / Aphrodite!Reader

Percy falls for the new Aphrodite daughter, leading to a series of amusing mishaps as he's too distracted by her presence. With a little help from Grover, Percy finally connects with her ☆

First request woop woop 🙌 💗

‿︵‿︵⊹‿︵‿︵⊹‿︵⊹‿︵🕊️︵‿⊹︵‿⊹︵‿︵‿⊹︵‿︵

The day you arrived at Camp Half-Blood, the sky was painted with strokes of pink and orange, heralding your entrance into a world where myths breathed and heroes walked. Percy Jackson, already a seasoned hero in the eyes of many, found himself at the archery range, his focus far from the quiver and bow. The camp was busy with the arrival of new demigods, but one in particular seemed to capture everyone’s attention before the gods themselves claimed her as their own. You, with your grace and an aura that seemed to whisper of Aphrodite's lineage, had barely crossed the camp's threshold before a glowing symbol of the goddess appeared above your head, sealing your divine heritage.

From across the field, Percy caught sight of you, and in that moment, the world seemed to slow. Everything about you fascinated him—the way you moved with effortless grace, your smile that seemed to light up the surroundings, and the kindness in your eyes that spoke of a gentle strength. He was so captivated that he hardly noticed Grover, his best friend, approaching.

"Who is that?" Percy's voice was a mix of wonder and curiosity, his gaze fixed on you as you laughed at something another camper said.

Grover followed his gaze, a knowing smile forming on his lips. "That's the new girl. Daughter of Aphrodite, and it seems like she's already making quite the impression!" he teased, elbowing Percy lightly.

In the days that followed, Percy found himself drawn to you, often going out of his way just to catch a glimpse of you during training or meals. However, his attempts at nonchalance led to a series of comical mishaps—walking into door frames, tripping over nothing at all, and yes, even walking straight into a window, all because he couldn't tear his eyes away from you.

Grover, witnessing Percy's increasing clumsiness and the amused whispers of their fellow campers, decided it was time for intervention. He made up a plan to finally push Percy into taking action, rather than just daydreaming about you from afar.

One sunny afternoon, as you were returning from a strategy session with Annabeth, Grover saw his opportunity. With a quick, "Trust me" whispered to Percy, he gave him a not-so-gentle push, sending him stumbling directly into your path.

The collision was gentle, but unexpected, causing you to catch Percy in your arms in a moment of surprise. "Whoa! Are you okay?" you asked, concern lacing your voice as you helped him.

Percy, cheeks flushed with embarrassment, managed a sheepish smile. "Yeah, sorry, I just... lost my footing.." he stuttered, internally cursing his lack of grace.

"I'm Percy , " he introduced himself, though a part of him worried you might have already heard of his less-than-graceful moments around camp.

You laughed, a sound that to Percy felt like music. "I know who you are. Percy Jackson, the hero of Olympus. I'm [Name]." you said, extending your hand in greeting.

What followed was a conversation that flowed more naturally than Percy could have hoped for. He found himself opening up about his adventures, the burdens he carried, and the simple joys of camp life. In return, you shared your own journey to Camp Half-Blood, the fears, and excitement that came with discovering your heritage, and the hope of finding a place where you truly belonged.

Grover watched from a distance, a satisfied grin on his face as he saw the two of you laughing together, completely at ease. He had no doubt that this was the beginning of something special.

In the weeks that followed, Percy and you grew closer, spending hours talking by the lake, training together in the arena, and sharing quiet moments under the stars. Percy, who had once been so entranced by your beauty, found himself even more captivated by your spirit—your kindness, your bravery, and your unwavering support.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of gold and crimson, Percy found the courage to express his feelings. Sitting together by the lake, he took your hand in his, his heart racing.

"[Name], from the moment I saw you, I was... well, I was in awe. But it's not just about how you look. It's everything about you—your kindness, your strength, your courage. You've become someone very important to me" he admitted, "and I keep finding more reasons to be amazed by you every day." his voice tinged with sincerity and a hint of nervousness.

Your smile in response was all the assurance Percy needed. "Percy , you've been my rock since I arrived here. You've shown me what it means to be a true hero—not just through your deeds, but through your heart.." You respond with a soft smile and a gentle squeeze of his hand. "I’m glad Grover pushed you into me that day," you said, your voice barely above a whisper.

Percy laughed, a sound filled with happiness and relief. "Me too. Me too."

As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, you both sat there, talking about everything and nothing. The world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of you <3

hey, how are you? i have a request! i'm sooo in love with vox and i think about him all day and omg i need to show him how much I LOVEHIMMMM

so, can you pls make some hcs (or a drabble idk) about vox with an assistant who is deeply in love with him? she always treats him with so much affection and love (with kisses and compliments and hugs and nhhhhhhhhgggg). thank you so much!! 🩷

⚡︎Vox x assistant reader⚡︎

yessss another vox simp<33 i love this requesttt

-vox is touch starved. full stop. period. val has never given him much attention or love past the sex. vox thinks the only reason val would ever be near his is for power. he's not wrong. their relationship is transactional, but with you he feels vulnerable and not just wanted, but needed.

- vox is the kinda guy to absolutely work hinself to death. he thinks he's the only one competent enough to complete his work. he's not wrong. so if he works late nights, you'll sit on his lap with your hands wrapped around his neck and suck on his neck and jaw. you'll try your best not ro distract him too much but how could you help yourself when your boss was extraordinary.

- being that vox a busy man he is infinitely grateful that you're low maintenance and prior to being shown any affection he assumed he was as well. once you showed him the forst love he's experienced since he was ten years old, he's turned into a needy, clingy man. not that you mind, you'll pepper him with kisses anytime.

-you hig vox as much as possible, you know that he needs to feel wanted. vox knows that everyone needs him for his company, he wants someone to love him purely and genuinely, he wants somebody to want to love him. you might think you could change him but you def couldn't. this man is pretty much as stuck in his ways as someone could be.

-having someone in his life to take care of his emotional needs is the only thing stoping his life from being meaningless in hell.

[akutasoda]

hi!! I’ve been seeing this account for a bit and finally built up the courage to ask if I can make a request!

Bsd with a reader who has an energy based ability, but they have to use their own energy? So more often then not they often end up with fatigue if they over use their ability? I was thinking probably has something to do with like electricity or something like that?

is it alright if I can be called 🌀Anon?

low batteries

synopsis - they love you but wish you just would stop overusing your ability

includes - dazai, kunikida, yosano, akutagawa, higuchi

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, mentionskf passing out, wc - 595

a/n: hello :) of course you can be 🌀 anon! sorry its slightly shorter!

osamu dazai ★���

↪would love your ability as much as you until he started seeing just how tired and fatigued you were from using it, then he would not like it as much.

↪would definitely if he saw you overusing you ability would nullify it and cuddle you until you perked up. he cant have you being tired all the time, he needs you.

↪would kind of scold you if he had to nullify your ability one to many times as now your just not taking care of yourself and he can't have that.

doppo kunikida ★↷

↪ lecturer. that's it. he worries for how your ability takes toll on your body and if you overwork yourself will be very concerned that he will lecture you for hours possibly.

↪he means well. its just not the forst thing you want to hear in a drowsy state. he does love your ability its just he wishes you wouldn't push yourself to your limits all the time. but even if it isn't your fault you got overworked, he still gives a light talking to.

↪but most the time he would actually look after you himself. he just wants you to be well.

akiko yosano ★↷

↪i think originally she would see your ability as just an extension of you so naturally she loved it. she just saw it as something that made you, you.

↪that was until you were bought into her office a few more times than needed because you had passed out from overusing your ability or heavily fatigued.

↪safe to say she would lecture you if you used it too much. but if using it naturally made you tired who is she to refuse cuddles until your perked back up

↪would be the best at looking after you if you used it a bit too much and needed time to recover before going back to work. probably lets you lock yourself in the doctor's room if its unused.

ryunosuke akutagawa ★↷

↪definitely another lecturer. like if he saw you overusing your ability on a mission or something he would make sure that he stopped you and got you to rest.

↪kind of like using rashomon to stop you if he was particularly far away from you.

↪would find your ability useful but doesn't want you to overwork yourself. would secretly wish that you didn't have to use up your energy to use it but he knows he can only stop you from overusing it.

↪wouldn't be the best at taking care of you if you were particularly overworked but if you really tried he would maybe indulge you in a few cuddles or get you some stuff.

ichiyō higuchi ★↷

↪shes like your personal cheerleader. and if your helping her on missions she would always have one eye on you. she may be akutagawa's bodyguard as her job, but what kind of girlfriend would she be if she let her partner get injured.

would absolutely take care of you if you overworked yourself. she knows that your ability makes you tited and fatigued and ↪would always be willing to help you. from giving you bottles of water to helping you get comfy and asleep to regain energy.

↪but is definitely wortied if you constantly overwork yourself and would sometimes give you little lectures on why you should properly look after yourself especially because of your ability.

↪overall adores your ability but wishes you would take care of yourself, not that she doesn't like taking care of you, but if she's not there to remind you she hopes that you are sensible enough to take breaks.

A new puffin

🌱🩷: I have been watching one too many puffling videos... Don't ask.

Warnings: Reader uses she/her. Requests are open

🌍Hetalia belongs to Hidekaz Himaruya🌏

Ever since (Y/n) got introduced to Iceland and Norway by Denmark, she really tried her hardest for them to like her and accept her as a friend, same went for Finland and Sweden. To her surprise, it wasn't that hard to get along with Norway, as long as you didn't annoy him and listened to his mythology or his magical friends, he would accept you pretty fast. (Y/n) came to realize she judged the stoic looking nation to fast, as he was pretty fun to be around, and was relaxed for the most part. Iceland being the youngest did have a harder time accepting her as a newcomer, but after giving him some sweets and treating him less like a kid, he will be quick to accept you. Finland was the easiest to make friends with, (Y/n) noted. The country was friendly to her from the get go, something she could only compare to Denmark, who she met centuries ago while she was still a kid. Sweden, much like Norway was easy to get along with as long as you treat him well and don't panic so much around his stoic expression. (Y/n), though, soon came to realize that none of the nations were hard to get along with, but more of a certain bird that was always found on Iceland's head or shoulder. When it came to animals, (Y/n) had a huge heart for them! Due to her having been isolated for long, she grew close to the animals that reside in her forsts, lakes, and on the shores, and Mr. Puffin was really no exception. She found the talkative and, sometimes, blunt bird cute and funny, so she tried to get him to like her pretty much since day one. That proved to be a challenge, (Y/n) soon realized. While Hanatamago warmed up to her pretty much immediately, Mr. Puffin to this day would reject any form of affections or gifts she would give him. This left the nation distraught, which lead to Iceland first talking to the bird to be nicer, and when that didn't work he would try to comfort her in his own way.

"He is just stupid. Pay him no mind."

"He will come around. Just ignore him for a while."

Each time (Y/n) would just slowly nod her head, but her determination never really lessened.

"Mr. Puffin! I got you some dried hake and herring from my place! I am sure you will like it!" (Y/n) beamed as she ran towards the bird, which was sat on the couch, and held up the two bags of food. Finland and Sweden hid behind the doorway, hoping that today might be different. But, to all 3 countries' dismay, the bird just looked away and took off of the couch.

"Not hungry." The bird said and flew out of the living room. (Y/n) sighed in sadness and sat down on the couch as Sweden walked over to her, silently patting her bed.

"He will come around, (C/n). I am sure of it." Finland said softly, but only got a head shake from her.

"I have been told that for so long, you don't need to comfort me with that anymore." (Y/n) smiled at the Finnish man and got up.

"Where are you going?" Sweden asked as je watched her leave.

"I will just go out and get some fresh air." (Y/n) answered back, taking her coat and scarf off of the hanger.

"And what about these dried fish?" Finland called out.

"Put it away! Those were specifically made for Mr. Puffin. Maybe if Iceland offered it to him he will take it." She said sadly and and left the house after putting on her shoes.

"I am definitely the issue here. Maybe I am too persistent? I try to give Mr. Puffin h8s space, but he is so adorable, even if he is rude at times." (Y/n) sighed as she sat on a cliff, looking at the horizon.

"I don't know what to do anymore? All the animals I usually interact with like me right away... Maybe, Mr. Puffin is that one animal that will never like me." She sighed sadly and looked at her watch, realizing she had been out for a few hours, and she needed to go back and help prepare dinner with Norway. But, before she could get up, she heard some weird chirping sounds freezing for a moment, she slowly looked back, and to her shock she found a puffling looking up at her.

"Huh? What are you doing here, little one? Shouldn't you be out there with your friends?" She whispered as silently as possible, not wanting to scare the bird. Upon further inspection, she saw that the animal's wing was a little injured.

"Poor thing... you must be hurting so bad..." (Y/n) said sadly and slowly picked up the bird, and to her shock, the animal was pretty comfortable with the position it was in, chirping happily at her.

'Maybe a puffin does like me?!' She cried in internally in happiness and started making her way away from the cliff.

"I need to call Denmark! We need to find you a vet as soon as possible!" She said, carefully taking her phone out to call the Dane.

"I hope he didn't drink anything." She mumbled to herself.

A while later, the Dane had picked her up and drove them to the nearest vet who still had open. Thankfully, the bird was fine for the most part, just had some light injuries on his wing from a wild animal. The vet gave her some meds to give the puffin and bandaged up the injury.

"So, how long are we keeping.... it?" Denmark asked as he drove them back

"The doctor said its a male." (Y/n) said while patting the bird on the head and keeping him safe on her lap.

"And not for long. Maybe 2 weeks and he is free to explore the ocean. Poor baby, you were probably scared." She smiled as she lifted up the bird, which happily chirped. Denmark smiled a little and looked back at the road.

"Oh well, new addition to the family. Let's hope Mr. Puffin will be fine with it. He can be territorial."

"Don't worry. I will keep Baby puffin in my room. The rest of the house is free for him to use."

"Baby puffin?" Denmark raised an eyebrow at the name, earning a pout from (Y/n).

"It's a cute name! Right?" She looked back at the bird, which chirped back a few times.

"See?!"

"Why are you so restless now?" Iceland raised an eyebrow as him and Sweden looked at Mr. Puffin, who was circling around the living room.

"None of your business!" The bird yelled out, which confused the two nations.

"You act like Hanatamago when another dog enters our house." Sweden noted as the entrance door opened.

"We are back. And we will have a guest over for 2 weeks!" Denmark yelled from the entrance, confusing the two Mr. Puffin flew towards them, only to let out a shriek.

"What is this noise?!" Finland yelled from the kitchen as Norway walked out.

"What guest- Is that a puffin?" Norway asked as Iceland and Sweden peeked out of the living room, only to find (Y/n) holding the puffling as the adult bird sat on Denmark's shoulder and looked at it in disdain.

A while later...

"So, that's why I decided to take care of Baby puffin while he gets better. It will only be two weeks. Is that ok?" (Y/n) asked as she finished explaining what had happened while holding the bird. The other Nordics, minus Denmark, blinked at the animal a few times, not saying anything.

"Absolutely not! I am the only puffin around here!-" Mr. Puffin started protesting, only for Iceland to close his beak.

"Yeah, sure. I will help you release him once the two weeks end." Iceland said as Sweden and Finland chimed in.

"We just need food and a place for him to stay."

"I can build him a bed."

The two countries suggested, but (Y/n) just shook her head.

"No need. I still have that food Mr. Puffin rejected, and the bird bed as well." She reminded them. Knowing Mr. Puffin was about to throw a temper tantrum, Iceland took the bird out and Denmark followed after them, he wanted to see some drama.

"Well, it's decided then. You will take care of the puffling for the next two weeks. We need to cook dinner now." Norway said as he took out some of the bird food for the puffling.

"Ok. I will just take Baby puffin to my room." (Y/n) nodded while rubbing the animal's head.

"Why are you even mad?" Iceland raised his eyebrow as both him and Denmark looked at the adult puffin.

"I am not mad! I don't like my stuff being taken away." Mr. Puffin retorted back.

"You sure? You seem pretty mad over the newcomer. And besides, you rejected all those presents (Y/n) gave you." Denmark held back a laugh as the bird sent him a glare.

"Still-"

"Iceland, I will take that bird bed and some of the toys from your room." (Y/n) said as she walked by the living room.

"Sure. Mr. Puffin didn't use any." Iceland said nonchalantly as the puffin let out another shriek.

"Is the bird jealous?" Denmark laughed.

"I am not."

The next few days were spent with (Y/n) attending every and any need the puffling had. Regular medication, always a meal ready and relaxing with the bird. The animal's injury was healing faster than she expected, Iceland suggested that after the one week mark they should try letting the puffling fly around. (Y/n) was fine with it, wanting the bird to function like any other, but she was a little sad at the thought of the animal leaving.

"You are so cute!" She cheered as she filmed the puffling play with one of the toys.

Outside of her room, Mr. Puffin was glaring at the puffling, huffing as the nation kept fawning over him.

'I am cute, too! Cuter than that thing.' Mr. Puffin huffed yet again as be watched the nation fawn over something the puffling did.

"Good boy!" (Y/n) cheered while rubbing the animal's head.

"Let's get you something to eat. I bought you fresh eels this morning." (Y/n) said as she picked the bird up and walked towards the door, and Mr. Puffin quickly flew away from them both.

"Can I have some, too?" (Y/n) looked away from the puffling, that was eating peacefully, and instead looked at Mr. Puffin, surprised that he even flew to her for food.

"Hm? You want me to fix you some food?"

"Mhm." The bird nodded and (Y/n) blinked at the puffin, but eventually agreed.

"Ok. I will leave Baby puffin in your care for a bit." She said and walked out of the living room towards the kitchen. The puffling continued to silently eat as the other landed next to him. Mr. Puffin looked at the bird in annoyance, as he pretty much ruined all the peace he previous had.

"You are just a temporary thing here. So, know your place." The puffling looked away from his food and blinked at the adult puffin as (Y/n) came back again.

"Here you go! Iceland bought you this food."

"Huh? And where is the food you bought me?" The bird asked in confusion as the puffling sat down on her palms again.

"That? I know you don't like it when I buy you food, so I am just feeding Baby puffin with it. Don't worry, Iceland will buy you food from now on." (Y/n) smiled, oblivious to the displeased feeling the puffin was feeling at those news.

A week had passed since the puffling was taken into the Nordic household and the older puffin just had about enough of the bird. What was once the attention (Y/n) gave him was now all for the puffling. He really hated to admit that he missed it, and he scolded himself for being so cruel to the other nation.

'Great. She thinks I hate her and will not even pay attention to me. After that puffling leaves tho... will it go back to how it was?' The puffin grumbled as he watched both (Y/n) and Sweden inspect the pufflings injury and change the bandages.

Another week passed by pretty quickly and the puffling was all good and ready to leave for the ocean and meet up with the other puffins. (Y/n) and Iceland were standing near a cliff as they took the bandages off of the animal. Mr. Puffin was uncharacteristically quiet for the most part.

"Are you crying?" Iceland asked while sweatdropping, watching as the other country kept on hugging the bird.

"How can I not?! What if something happens to him on the ocean?! He is so small." The girl said back while the bird chirped a few more times.

"Well, whatever happens, happens. We need to release him. Besides, he will be back in a few years." Iceland shrugged, used to how his birds act. (Y/n) sighed, knowing he was right and handed him the bird.

"Here. You do it." She argued as the Icelander nodded and walked over to the edge of the cliff to throw the bird.

"Bye-bye." (Y/n) said as she watched the bird fly away. To her surprise, she felt a unfamiliar wight on her shoulder and she glanced over, only to find Mr. Puffin.

'Huh? He never did this...' She thought, slowly putting her hand on the bird's head. (Y/n) expected the animal to cringe away from her, or scold her like usually, but the bird did neither. He stayed still as she started patting his head.

'Does he like me after all?!' She thought as a smile was plastered on her face as Iceland called out to them that it was time to leave.

Love After War

pairing(s) 👩🏾‍❤️‍👨🏾/👩🏾‍❤️‍👩🏾 : christian yu x reader

summary 📝 : in which a three day long silent treatment turns into a night filled with kisses and makeup sex

warning(s) ⚠️ : angst at beginning , lots of swearing , reader is a black woman , reader goes by a name , VERY SMUTTY with a few hints of fluff , usage of the n word (im black so don’t eat my ass about it 🙄)

p.s : THIS IS MY VERY FORST REQUEST AND IM DETERMINED TO MAKE IT TO YOUR LIKING ‼️ thank you for trusting me in making your fantasy come true and i hope you like it ❤️

Tati stirred in her sleep , her arm immediately reaching out to grab at her boyfriend before it fell onto the empty space besides her with a dull thud. Her eyes peeked open and over to Chris’s spot when she remembered everything that happened the night before.

“Make this shit make sense Christian cause it’s not clicking for me.” Tati demanded as she turned her phone around in her grasp , her eyes locked on Christian’s confused face as he looked at the screen.

He didn’t know how this picture was taken so abnormally out of context but it definitely gave off the impression that he was doing something that a man in a relationship clearly wasn’t supposed to do.

Yesterday night a studio session with Dabin and Cream had ran a bit longer than he expected it to so of course he warned his woman that he wasn’t going to be home on time and that she didn’t need to wait up , she agreed and went to sleep knowing that she could trust her man to be where he said he was going to be … or so she thought.

After the session the three guys went to grab a quick drink to unwind from being cramped in a recording booth all day when a few fans had spotted them leaving , asking for a quick picture and an autograph the guys figured why not and gave the fans what they wanted.

His arm was around one of the fans , her standing on her tippy toes while he faced her , her head and hair covering his completely.

They looked like they were kissing , it looked so wrong but he knew for a fact he didn’t do anything wrong and as he tried to plead his case his girlfriend , as stubborn as a bull , was not hearing it.

“I promise you Tati babe , it isn’t what it looks like.” He told her , his hand slowly reaching out for her waist.

Catching his move before he could make it she stepped back and slapped his hand away from her.

“Ain’t that some shit , every cheating ass nigga says that when clearly it looks like something is exactly what they say it’s not.”

Groaning out in frustration Christian wiped his hands down his face and then dropped them at his sides with a slap to his thighs.

“I’m not about to apologize for doing something i didn’t do.” He says , his tone firm and his eyes low. “I didn’t cheat , i don’t have a reason to. You’re taking that picture entirely wrong.”

He moved to keep explaining himself but by then he had locked eyes with Tati and noticed that they looked dead , her face was blank and her lips were drawn into her mouth.

She stepped back and turned on her heels , he watched from his place as she threw a spare comforter and a few pillows from their hallway closet. She kicked at them until they were at his feet , her arms coming to cross over her chest.

“Tati..” He trailed off. “You want me to-”

“Sleep on the couch , you can’t sleep next to me when you had some other bitch all over you. When you’re ready to tell me the truth then you can come back to the bedroom until then make yourself comfortable.”

She nodded towards their round couch before turning away once again , heading off into her bedroom where she locked the door and turned the tv volume up to a good forty before she tucked herself in and fell asleep

“Cheating bastard.” She mumbled to herself as she tossed the covers aside and got out of the california king bed.

She stripped as she walked into their walk-in closet. Christian held it built just for her , Tati had a bit of a shopping addiction and needed the space tremendously so him being the hood man he is he built her the closet she always dreamed of. She threw her clothes in the hamper near the back of it before wrapping a robe around her body and leaving the closet.

She left the room and didn’t bother to check the living room , heading straight to the bathroom.

She locked the door , took a quick pee and then showered making sure to wash her face and brush her teeth afterwards before she was wrapped in a towel and heading toward the door.

As she pulled it open she came face to face , well to chest , with Christian.

The man did nothing but stare her down , his eyes low from the lack of sleep , he licked his lips and moved to step closer when she dodged him altogether heading back to the room , locking the door once again.

She could hear him groan from the hallway and smugly she held her head up and got ready for the day.

It was now going on day two of the silent treatment and Tati went up a notch with her pettiness , she was making lunch by the time Christian had taken a shower and was gathering his things to head over to Dabin’s.

Shrugging his jacket on and walking towards the kitchen Christian froze in his steps as he looked at Tati.

She was standing with her back facing him wearing the smallest pair of shorts he had ever seen her in , they could’ve been underwear with the way her ass cheeks were eating them.

“I’m going to D’s..” He started to tell her when he finally saw what she was stirring.

Kimichi fried rice was being prepared on the stove while Pork soup dumplings sat on the counter , a bottle of peach soju besides it.

His favorites , out of everything she wanted to eat today it just had to be his favorites.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eye briefly , Christian let the thought of apologizing run through his head before he remembered that he did nothing wrong. So instead of trying to talk it out he simply turned around and left the house

Day three and he had finally had enough. He searched on every social media platform , through every mention until he found what he was looking for.

Tati had gotten dressed that morning in a beautiful printed dress , the bottom of it stopping dangerously close to the top of her thigh with a slit that nearly had her pussy on view and Christian fought with every fiber of his being to not fuck her unconscious as soon as he saw her.

He hadn’t even gotten the chance to compliment her before she was strutting passed him and out their front door.

No goodbye kiss , no ‘i love you’. She didn’t even tell him where she was going and that alone made him snap.

Just as their front door opened and Tati walked inside , her smile dropped and her eyes widened a bit as Christian bum rushed her. His phone being shoved into her face with the brightness all the way up and a video of him and the fan’s entire encounter playing on a loop in front of her.

Tati sat her things down and took the phone from his hands , her eyes trained on the way the girl stood on her tippy toes to whisper in Christian’s ear before she plopped back down onto her feet and wrapped an arm around his torso , smiling for their actual picture.

Closing her eyes and letting the hand that held the phone fall to her sides Tati breathed in through her nose.

“I’m sorry.” She mumbled.

Christian smirked to himself but slapped it off his face himself when he saw her flutter her eyes open.

“You should be. You could’ve let me explain before you jumped o conclusions like that. I love you Tati.” He told her , taking her face into his hands. “I’d have to be the biggest fucking idiot on this planet to cheat on the woman i want to spend the rest of my life with.”

Tati took ahold of his wrist in her hands and pulled them from her face , keeping her grip on them she tugged and made him follow her as she lead them to their bedroom.

Leaving the door opened and turning the lights on Tati sat on the bed without a word and fumbled with the strings on his grey sweats.

Jaw dropping in awe Christian stared down at his woman as she worked his sweats to his ankles , her somewhat cold hand wrapping around his soft length making him hiss at the temperature difference.

He hasn’t been able to feel any part of her for three days and that was too long for him , Christian was insatiable just as Tati was , sex was a regular every day thing for them and for him to be deprived of that , the man wanted nothing more than to destroy his beautiful girlfriend beyond recognition.

She lifted him and dragged her tongue on the underside of his dick , starting near his balls and ending at his tip , tracing the long vein beneath it.

She gave a kiss to the tip before sucking the mushroom head into her mouth , letting it sit for a while as she gathered as much spit as she could to make it nice and wet.

Christian signed blissfully at the feeling of her warm mouth welcoming him , he tilted his head forward and grabbed her chin between his finger making her look up at him , her doe eyes in heavy effect as she pulled him back out.

“I’m sorry baby.” She told him , kitten licking at the precum on his slit.

“For my attitude.” She kissed the tip , squeezing at the base as he harden in her hand.

“For ignoring you.” Another kiss , this one more opened mouthed than the other.

“For everything.” She spit on his dick , her hand started to pump him slowly smiling as a small moan left her man’s mouth. “Im gonna make it up to you daddy.”

Christian couldn’t even reply because right after that she was taking him back into her mouth , immediately letting him fall down her throat. Her nose touched his patch of pubic hairs and she swallowed around him , her toes curling to distract her from the blocking of her air way.

Stumbling at the initial act Christian put a hand on her head and closed his eyes.

Tati wasn’t a head giver before she got with Christian , he didn’t pressure her for it when they got intimate for the first time either but after a while of receiving she was determined to make him feel as good as he made her , if not better.

Pulling back and taking a breath she went back in , bobbing her head in a steady pace making sure to hallow her cheeks as she sucked. One hand still holding his base while the other used the silva the fell from his shaft to his balls as lubricant so she could fondle them with ease.

“Fuck.” Christian moaned out , his hips moving as he began to stroke into her mouth , the tip of his dick sometimes hitting the back of her throat.

Relaxing her neck as much as she could Tati moved her hand , one holding the back of his thigh while the other pushed his shirt up his chest , feeling on the happy trail and abs he covered it with.

“Look at me baby.” He groaned out as he looked down at his woman.

Spit dribble and precum surrounded her lips , falling to her chin as she let him have his way with her mouth. The gloss from her lips staining him as well as she looked up at him through teary eyes and false lashes.

“You look so pretty baby.” He cheekily grinned , his eyes snapping down to her thighs watching as the muscle tightened at will.

He was just as eager as she was to get to the real thing but as dated before he had went to long without touching or tasting the love of his life , he was a selfish lover in any sense of the word and seeing the way she clenched her thighs gave him all the answers he needed.

Slowly he pulled his dick from her mouth , a single string of spit connecting the two of them.

Tati moved to wipe her mouth off as Christian stepped out of his sweats and pulled his shirt over his head.

She moaned at the sight of his tattoos , of his dick fully hard and the tip an angry red color , the vein on the underside prominent.

She moved to take her dress on when he stopped her , pushing at her shoulders until she laid flat on her back. She crawled up into the bed as Christian pushed her thigh apart , licking his lips at the sight of her dripping onto the bed. Her pussy lips puffy and glistening with juices he couldn’t wait to taste.

He slipped his finger between her slit , collecting a heft amount of her slick before pulling his digits into his mouth moaning at the flavors on his tongue.

“I haven’t seen this pretty little pussy in so long baby , do you know how much i’ve missed you princess.” Christian spoke to Tati , his eyes glancing up into hers as he drew closer to her pussy.

She could feel his breath on her pearl , the aching only seemed to get worse knowing that he was about to devour her for everything she was worth.

“I’m sorry..” Tati apologized again , sitting up on her elbows as she chewed at her bottom lip.

“I know baby i know.” He smiled. “Now let daddy enjoy his meal.”

Tati watched his head disappear between her thighs , his lips kissing her second pair before he sucked one into his mouth then doing the same to the other.

Her hand with to grip at his jet black locks when he finally spread her pussy lips apart with his fingers , immediately latching onto the hidden bundle of nerves.

Jolting forward with a squeal Tati lifted her heel covered feet onto his shoulders and threw her head back.

Christian sucked her clit into his mouth harshly before letting it go with a pop , licking at her entrance Christian covered her entire pussy with his mouth groaning as she pulled at his hair but moaning into her as she whimpered and slowly began to move her hips , riding his face.

He pushed her dress up higher and pressed his thumb to her clit , his tongue stretching as he ate her out.

She was making a mess on his face and he was making a mess out of her , her juices dripped from his nose to his chin and covered his cheek and he loved it.

“Oh my god.” Tati moaned out as Christian began to shake his head from side to side wildly. “Babyyy.”

Feeling her clench around his tongue Christian slowly slid two fingers into her , curling them along her gspot repeatedly as his tongue replaced his thumb on her clit as he began to spell him name.

Tati’s thigh quivered around his head , her breathing speeding up as her back arched higher and higher of the bed.

“I’m cumming , i’m cumming !!” She yelled , her eyes screwing shut as the knot in her stomach snapped.

Her juice rushed out of her , Christian made it his mission to drink every drop. Somewhat overstimulating her as he continued to tongue her down.

Whimpering a trapping his head between her thighs Tati tugged at his hair and rode his face to ride out her first orgasm of the night before he pulled away.

She opened her eyes slowly , her breathing trying to even itself out as she watched him lick at the juices on his face while he looked at her.

“Take this off.” He demanded , his fingers pinching at the dress.

Moving as quickly as she could , Tati pulled the dress over her head and pushed her shoes off with her toes. Once the dress was on the floor with Christian’s clothes she pulled him on top of her by the chain on his neck , it being a gold template of her name.

Christian climbed on top of his girlfriend , their lips licking in a heated kiss filled with tongue and teeth as she instinctively spread her thighs.

“I’m about to fuck you up , you know that right ?” Christian asked , his kisses trailing from her neck to her chest.

He bit at her pebbled nipples making her hiss.

“Yes.” She answered in bliss.

Christian took his dick into his hand , rubbing the head between her slit. He pushed the head into her opening before pulling out and repeating the action , smiling against her lips as she palmed at his back.

“Please.” She begged , her legs wrapping around his waist as a way to push him inside of her.

“Since you asked so nicely.” He teased.

He started off slow again , keeping up with his teasing act and just when he knew she was about to whine he pushed into her with little to no restraint. His hips flush against hers as he sighed out and her mouth dropped open in a silent moan.

Pulling out just to push back in again Christian lifted his head and watched as she opened her eyes to look up at him.

He snapped his hips harder this time , pushing her higher on the bed as his hand planted on both sides of her head.

“Chris.” She moaned , her fingers gripping at his skin.

Without word he began fucking into her , his pace was fast and his thrusts were brutal , his balls slapped loudly against her ass while the tip of his dick kissed at her gspot.

“God.” He moaned out , licking his lips as he looked down to where they connected. “I love you Tatianna , you hear me? There’ll never be a woman i love more.”

In response to his sweet words Tati tightened around his dick , her legs hitching up higher on his waist as her nails finally sank into his back.

“I love you more daddy.” She cried clenching around him. “Please don’t stop.”

Christian buried his head in the crook of her neck , holding her legs to her chest as he fucked onto her deeper than before. This way she felt everything he was giving her , his tip was now kissing her cervix and with the pain came the pleasure , she’d never get used to the way he stretched her out.

Her mind grew foggy as he lifted up again , his hand coming to hold onto her neck as he snapped his hips into hers harder than he ever had.

You could only hearing her cries of pure pleasure mixed with the sound of her pussy squelching as she began to cream around him.

“You’re making such a beautiful fucking mess on me baby , i love it.”

Tati felt the knot in her stomach tightened beyond unfathomable lengths , it almost hurt.

“Chris can i cum please. I wanna cum.” She begged , tears falling down the side of her face.

Christian smiled. “Look at me while i make you cum.”

Tati used all her power to open her eyes but used even more of it to not cum as she made eye contact with her boyfriend.

He was fucking her so good , she almost couldn’t even see him through her tears , her breathing turned into hiccups as she placed a hand on his chest.

“I love you , i love you , i love you.” She chanted , fighting to keep her eyes open.

Christian leaned down , sucking her bottom lip into his mouth before pulling away to whisper onto them.

“Cum for me.”

Tati’s mouth fell open in a moan so loud it sounded phonographic , she clawed as his back and clenched so tightly around him that it was sort of hard for him to move.

Christian sat up and continued fucking into her , his hips stuttering a few times as he tilted his hand back and closed his eyes.

“Shit , i’m about to cum.” He grunted. “Where do you want it baby ?”

He looked back down at her and tightened his grip on her neck watching as she shook with pleasure and overstimulation.

“Inside , cum inside me !!” She all but exclaimed , her hand holding onto his wrist.

At her command Christian came , filling her up to the brim with his hot seed. His hips slapping into her one last time , fucking his cum deeper into her.

He sighed heavily and let his head fall forward , slowly he opened his eyes and grinned at the smiling woman underneath him.

“I forgive you.” He teased , chuckling as she smacked her lips and weakly punched at his chest.

“You better.”

Summary: after a jinx gone wrong, sebastian and Clora end up in another dimension.

Warnings: none, just fluff😌

Authors note: I absolutely ADORE @choccy-milky ‘sClora and Sebastian. The Sebastian’s get a bit confusing but they’re besties. I can so totally see Connie and Clora being besties too! I might make a part two to this, but this is a teaser! Get hype guys! My everything series is getting a prequel about Sebastian and Constance after thier 5th year, which is coming out soon. Enjoy guys!!

—✰

“Do you think she's okay in there?” Sebastian asked, turning to his other dimension counterpart who had currently been trying to pin flyers for Connie’s new club around Hogwarts. After the unfortunate events of the evening, a jinx gone wrong, and traveling to another dimension…it was safe to say Sebastian and Clora were thoroughly exhausted. It had been about two days since their combination floo flame and jinx went utterly completely wrong, sending them to a different dimension. They didn’t even know that was possible, until they ran into Sebastian at Hogshead. He was different, slightly, but yet the same. He looked the same, it was like looking in a mirror as Sebastian watched him pin posters to the walls. The girls were in Constance’s dorm room, trying desperately to search for an answer as the boys had been banished from the room for being too much of a distraction, per Connie’s request.

“I dont know mate, probably, shes got Con with her.” Seb explained, making an awkward silence fill the room. At forst sebastian wasn’t sure what to think of his counterpart, but he’s been growing on him. He was after all, the most handsome wizard Sebastian had ever seen.

“So you’re like, supposed to be me, right?” Sebastian asked, making Seb stop momentarily to look at him with a nod.

“Yep, and me you. We’re one in the same.”

“So basically we’re like…”

“Twins…”

The two turned there heads to look at each other, moving in a circle as they pondered the others existence.

“But we’re already twins…”

“We’re super twins!” They both cheered in unison, practically jumping with joy.

“I gotta tell Connie!” “I gotta tell Clora!” They said at once, both running back to the Hufflepuff common room, ignoring the dirty looks they received for being there as they ran up to Constance’s room.

“Connie!” “Clora!”

“Oh dear lord.” Constance mumbled, running a hand down her face to brace herself for what they were about to say.

“Guess what we just found out?” Sebastian cheered, practically skipping into the room. Constance stopped, looking over at Clora’s tie then back to Sebastian.

“Sebastian…”

“Yes love?” “Yeah?”

She turned to clora with a shudder.

“Cant get used to that.” She teased, making Clora chuckle begore she pointed to the other Sebastian. “Not mine, the other one.”

“What can I do for ya?” He asked, as a low smirk appeared on Constance’s face.

“Is that a ravenclaw tie you’re wearing?” She asked, making Sebastian’s face drop as he looked down, his face turning a blush red as Clora’s reached a similar blush.

“What? Pffsh, no. This is, this is a game, a game me and Sebastian play called disguise our ties! I wanted to see if he'd notice that mine was a slytherin tie!” Clora explained, her face bright red as she did making Constance’s jaw drop. She’d only known the girl for a short period of time but had already grown quite fond of her.

“You’re such a big fat liar pants!”

“I am not a big fat liar pants!” Clora yelled back, sighing with frustration as Sebastian and Constance laughed.

“You and seb’s wonder twin went to pound town didn't ya?” She wiggled her eyebrows at Clora, shaking her shoulders against hers as Clora sighed.

“Oh my gosh Connie.” She facepalmed, earning a nudge from Constance.

“Oh my gosh you did!”

“Stop it!”

“There’s no need to be ashamed, Clora. I mean, he is handsome.” Sebastian teased, making the other Sebastian smile at him.

“Hey, you’re handsome.” He replied, making Sebastian smile at him.

“Mate.”

“Pal.”

The two pulled each other into a hug, making Clora smile as Constance laughed.

“Maybe we should just date and let them stay together.” Constance suggested, making Clora shrug.

“They do seem happy.”

Constance sighed, shaking her head at Clora.

“I cant believe you two snogged in my house. In another dimension for goodness sakes.” She teased, making Clora sigh.

“Neither can i.”

“We’re trying to look for a cure here, a way home.”

“I dont know, maybe this universe isnt so bad.” Clora shrugged, earning a smile from Constance as she pulled her into a hug.

“I mean theres two of me, thats all i could ever ask for.” Sebastian said, earning a smile from his counter part.

“My super twin!”

“Oh c’mere you!”

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hello long time follower forst time requester!! I have a request for a type of johnlock fic. Basically the premise is season 2 episode 1 where John and mrs.hudson are wondering about sherlocks sexuality and everyone even his brother and moriarty assume he's a Virgin but in reality he's a detective who went to college and had a sever drug addition. BUT homie for sure has traded sex for drugs and slept witg his drug dealer for drugs or a case. And John find outs and is curious/wants to see what sherlovks learned for himself lol? I read a fic like that years ago and I can't find it sadly but also would be open to some new johnlock fics where the lore is sherlock is equally experienced if not more and it's bc of his raunchy past.

Hey Lovely!

Ooooof okay this sounds vaguely familiar and I'm not sure if it's because I've read it or if it's because I've read a similar synopsis.

Hmmmm. Anyone able to help us out with either this fic or similar fics? I JUST realized I don't have a list either from me OR Community Recs for "experienced" Sherlock so I've made a note to compile some fics for the future! Any help y'all can give is beneficial!

[crayistic]

I needed to come somewhere to rant.... so here it is. Critical role Campaign 3 Episode 77 spoilers ahead so please don't read if your not wanting spoilers.

First of all want to say the episode was brilliant, in terms of the story and the hopefully future animation for sure. However I have so many issues.... I have seen alot of people and shippers getting g happy about the fact thatAshton kissed Fearne... and saying things like he is being the barbarian and is wanting to be the one to take the pain and damage... so on and so forth and I couldn't disagree with this more.

First of all, from a players perspective... i know there is trust and love between the crit cast and they are all about support and aftercare... but thus choice by ashton as a player with other players made me feel quite uncomfortable. It was such a horrible place to put Ashley in and it was easy enough to see how angry and how rediculous most of the cast thought the choice was. Not only that but Matt himself making comments about how he gave them clear warnings. It would jave been less painful for others if he had let Fearne take the shard (or gave her some support or time to think about it for herself) that put her and the others through what he did. He knew how risky it was and he was very prerered to die, so anyone saying he was doing it for his friends? Like what... how? Because the pain of losing someone and having to carry that with you, when you also played a part in it MAJORLY out weights phitjcal pain. Then chockyness with the end result when it was all fluke and luck. If it wasn't for fearnes spell and randomly swaping the ring with chet... yes these are all great story points but I do think he crossed the line alittle.

Now the missed opportunity for the story. Mat wad clearly setting up the emperor and empress, giving them clear signs and opportunities to gain power for two of the bells hells. Now what? Will ashton be completely OP, and how is that fair to the other characters. Mat is now going to have to find away to limit him and again yes, the game is about the players, not everything goes to plan and things can change in an instant but again I do think there are lines. If he had died, there is a big change Ashley would have blamed herself for saying she didn't want the shard (however i also think she was influenced by Tals persistent pushing and comments for him to have it). I was really looking forward to seeing what it would be like to have two of them tighed to eachother by ancient power and what that would mean for them. Not to mention how stressed and upset she was at the table, I get that shit can happen in game but when another player is doing it to you without any type of warning for over 40 mins of play... it seemed abit messed up.

Moving into the shipping aspect of things. I'm a lover of romance in d&d and I had a forst class ticket aboard the Imogen/Laudna and the Fearne/Ashton boat. I was looking forward to being able to see Fearnes vulnerable side. She is usually so ladeda about flirting, intimacy and so on but this... this was kind of gross and it almost felt like she was being used and manipulated. While this could have been tal not recognising fearne was going down that path for ashton and him rushing to implement things last moment or whatever was going on... it just felt wrong.

Out of nowhere he's calling her hot after she's referencing him saying he wants a sister... and the horrible thing is you can tell she has feelings for him because ots almost like she is to wrapped up in the slight attention that she doesn't even see how he's acting. Saying she's hot while lased in the request to lie to all of their friends, aid him in doing something stupid, very much from the begning never planning on fearne having the shard... saying how he trusts her more?... It felt like love bombing to confuse her and get her to do what he wanted. Her returning his hot comment and running away... there was no recognition to how she doesn't normally act like that... what did it mean and so on, he just sat back and made a cocky comment

Then the whole thing, grabbing her and kissing her right before it happened. He actually made a comment saying to just do it because it will never happen again and it's the only one she gets. Like imagin if you actually loved or was falling fir someone... it felt like she was nothing but a tool and none of the others would do it for him because it was fucking STUPID but fearne also wouldn't have done it to any oof the others... so what's the difference? Well maybe ots the fact she has feelings for him. The people saying he wanted to do it to take the pain over his friends... I just don't get it. His actions were nothing but selfish. Doing something so crazy and actually telling people to heal him. Saying he needed this like having one shard wasn't enough. Putting fearne in that position, someone he clearly knows cares for him more than a friend and she had to stand there and watch him fucking shatter into pieces and come back... nearly dying over and over and worst of all at the aid of her own hands. Now I don't see how they could have any chance of a romance because he kicked it in the ass before it even began... or he doesn't even see her that way and did completely use her... because if it was the only kiss she was getting... then why do it unlessbyour trying to love bomb her?...

It was all abit twisted and fucked uo to me and I really don't know how to actually feel about the whole thing... definitely the most controversial point of bells hells to me. Oh man what I would give to be a fly in the wall after that. The following pics sums up my emotional roller coaster through that ep....

[unriding]

First, Mutini sent over aa bomb to Maarrgo's hive aafter the aaddress waas exposed in aa doxxing (caarried out by Minthy, in revenge for Taalcus maaking Aaspryn eaat baatteries. Aappaarently). Aafterwaards, aa second bomb waas sent over aat Aavyril's request, still by Mutini.

Is thaat correct, or aam I misinterpreting this aask?

The Overworked Trauma of the Eccentric Intellect Chapter 1

I’m experimenting with a new ship of my own concoction. I got into a bit of a Jacq (Scarlet and Violet) mood and wanted to do a shipfic with him. Prior to Volo getting introduced alongside him in Masters EX, I ended up deciding to go with Saguaro. I felt it could work so I went with it.

I may still do something with Jacq and Volo, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the forst chapter of this lil fic.

Synopsis: Can you make sure Jacq eats? He’s been so caught up with work that I think he’s skipped a few meals. Oh, and I’m pretty sure he hasn’t slept in a few days.

It sounded like a simple enough request. Though Sarguao doesn’t exactly understand why he specifically should be tasked with such a request. But easy or simple aren’t exactly the words to describe the situation as Jacq’s motives come to light. And a spiraling depression needs immediate attention.

Can you make sure Jacq eats? He’s been so caught up with work that I think he’s skipped a few meals. Oh, and I’m pretty sure he hasn’t slept in a few days.

It sounded like a simple enough request. If not a bit odd. Clavell wasn’t too invested in the teachers outside of the basics. However, given that Jacq had developed a bond and partnership with the esteemed director, it wasn’t too surprising when Clavell worried about him.

And he had every right to. Though not something the average person would pick up, in hindsight, Saguaro realized that he hasn’t seen Jacq much in the break room or the cafeteria.

So if the director was coming to him to combat that, Sarguaro could understand that. From what Saguaro was told, Jacq ignored Miriam’s concerns, stating he was alright and would grab something to eat later. He told Dendra he has to keep his mind working if he was ever going to get his project done. He even told Hassel that ‘an artist’s work, or I guess I should say biology teacher’s duty, needs to be perfect’.

Clavell must have been desperate if he was asking for Saguaro’s help. His and Jacq’s department were so dar apart that Saguaro wondered why the director didn’t ask Raifort first.

It sounded simple enough. It should have been simple enough. But when he got to Jacq’s office, he wasn’t sure if “simple” was the right word. Messy and chaotic fit the scene he was greeted by.

Papers scattered across the floor along with several empty cups of, presumably, coffee. Jacq’s Arcanine was curled up and napping next to Jacq while his Farigiraf poked her head in through the nearby window. An Alolan Meowth napped on his table while Jacq picked away at a Pokédex. Jacq was muttering to himself, some kind of technical jargon that Saguaro didn’t particularly care to understand.

Talking Jacq out of his invested was going to be interesting. If not a bit annoying. Clearing his throat, Saguaro entered the room.

“Not very tidy today, are you?”

Chuckling, Jacq took his glasses off and set them on the desk. “A little mess can’t hurt anyone.”

Approaching Jacq’s desk, Saguaro leaned against it. “But skipping out on meals and sleep can.”

Huffing, Jacq leaned forward, folding his arms in the process. “Not you too.”

“Yes, me too.” Saguaro crossed his arms. “You more than anyone should know that your body has needs.”

“And I will… once I get these projects done.”

Grabbing a document, Jacq proceeded to jot some notes down. He then proceeded to pet the Meowth’s head before moving onto the next document. Looking at Jacq’s paperwork, Saguaro changed his tactic.

“What are you working on?”

“Miss Briar wanted to see if I could add a new feature to the Pokédex. She wanted some kind of lore application for the Blueberry Academy students. Specifically on Paradox Pokémon and regional variants for educational purposes. Salvatore wants some insight on this little guy.” Jacq scratched behind the Meowth’s ear. “Apparently he hasn’t been eating much lately despite poving what Salvatore had been giving up until now.” Jacq grabbed a few documents. “Director Clavell needs the results of the Biology midterm by the end of the week and I’m looking into the Herba Mystica sample that Arven brought me.”

“Sounds stressful.”

“Maybe a little, but it’s keeping me busy. Which isn’t that bad, am I right?” Jacq shrugged as the Meowth woke up and stretched out. “Besides, it’ll be worth it when all is said and done.”

“It may be worth it, but I don’t think they want you to overwork yourself in the process.”

“But I need to get it all done.” Jacq let out a deep yawn, rubbing his eyes before grabbing the Pokédex he was working on. “I promised I’d get it done and I can’t let them down.”

“You won’t let anyone down if you take a break.”

Jacq slid his glasses back on. “You don’t know that.”

“Yes I do. None of them would want you to lose your sanity over this. Or your health.”

“I’m fine.”

“You probably can’t even stand up without falling over.”

“I can. Watch me.”

Accepting the challenge, Jacq quickly stood up. Maintaining his balance, he turned to fully face Saguaro with a boastful smirked. But before he could boast about his small win, Jacq’s vision began to blur. Fuzzy particles clouded his line of sight. His ankle rolled, causing Jacq to fall over. Saguaro acted fast, he grabbed Jacq and helped him stand.

“See.”

“I tripped.”

Saguaro rolled his eyes. If Jacq was going to be difficult, he would meet it with equal amounts of stubbornness. The back of Jaq’s coat was grabbed as he was tossed over Saguaro’s shoulder.

“And my hand slipped.”

Jacq’s face turned red as Saguaro picked up the Meowth and vacated the room. “Saguaro!? Put me down!”

“No.”

The first place Saguaro stopped was Salvatore's office, plopping the Meowth in his bed. “Try more seafood oriented food. And bitter berries since they can’t really taste sweet berries.”

Not waiting for a response, Saguaro left Salvatore’s office. Instead, he hauled Jacq over to his dorm room. All the while, Jacq weakly begged for Saguaro to put him down.

He would only get his wish once they got to the room. Once there, Saguaro set Jacq on the bed, removing Jacq’s glasses in the process. But instead of lying down, Jacq sat on the side of the bed. Despite his exhaustion, he wasn’t ready to give up.

Saguaro set the glasses on the counter as he started to look around the kitchen. “Can you give yourself, at least one hour to nap? After that, you’re going to eat, then, will you be allowed to get back to work.”

Jacq continued to sit there, not responding to the request. Not knowing if that was his way of considering it or silently accepting it, Saguaro continued to look around the kitchen. Grabbing a pot and a few ingredients, he decided to make soup. It wouldn’t take long to make and wouldn’t be too hefty on Jacq’s stomach.

“It’s my fault, isn’t it?”

“What is?” A stagnate pause greeted him as Saguaro started chopping some veggies. “What do you think is your fault?”

“That Sada died.”

A quick, firm chop cut through a leek. Shoulders stiffened as Saguaro’s hands landed on the counter. Light eyes fell on Jacq, who refused to move eye contact from the floor.

“Where is this coming from?” More silence. “Jacq?”

“I’m noticing Briar taking an… unhealthy interest in Aera Zero.” Jacq huffed. “It brings back memories. Regrets. Things I should have changed.” He shuttered as he shook his head. “Knowing what happened with Sada, while standing in front of her son makes me feel evil. I could have… should have, said something back then.

Saguaro moved around the counter and sat next to Jacq. His hand gently landed on Jacq’s back. Jacq quietly melted into it. Almost as though he needed physical contact.

“It’s just… every time I look at Arven, I get this gut wrenching feeling in my stomach.” Leaning forward, Jacq crossed his arms over his lap. “He shouldn’t be taught by the man who contributed to her passing.”

“It’s not your fault.” Saguaro denounced. “Arven’s a good kid. Needs a little more practice in the kitchen, but a good kid.” His hand gently motioned around Jacq’s back. “But if he blames anyone, it’s not you.”

“But I-”

“Am a wonderful teacher that anyone would be lucky to have. Excitable and a little air headed, who unconsciously overworks himself, but an honest man.”

Jacq sat up, finally turning to face Saguaro with exhausted distress. “But I’m not. I was part of the problem. I wanted to go on the expedition too. So I should have been the one to say something when Clavell didn’t. Why shouldn’t he mad at me?”

“First of all, Arven’s just a kid. You’re expecting a lot from a kid who’s still got a few years in school. Will he feel resentful for his mother’s decisions? Of course. Will he blame one of the only mentors and parental figures he has because of it? No.” Saguaro’s hand wrapped around Jacq’s shoulders. “Secondly, you have noting to feel guilty over. Yes, you were on the expedition, but if anyone pushed Sada to that point, it would have been her. I don’t think any of us wanted this to happen, but no one could have predicted this. Not even Sada. And thirdly, Sada and Briar are grown women. You could have done everything in your power to stop Sada, and she still could have gone down the same path. Same with Briar presently.”

Holding back tears, Jacq glared at Saguaro, trying to hold back the urge to yell at Saguaro. Knowing he was just trying to help and didn’t deserve to be berated, Jacq knew better. At the same time, he couldn’t bring himself to accept that he was innocent in all of this.

“It can’t be that simple. Someone has to be held accountable and-”

A kiss prevented Jacq from finishing his thought, silencing him. A soft, stunned breath escaped his nostrils as silver eyes widened. When Saguaro pulled back, he took advantage of Jacq’s shock and gently pushed Jacq back, lying him down. With a now red face, jacq glared at Saguaro with confused disbelief.

“You’re not in a clear mental state. If you really want to continue this self inflicted blame, we can afterwards.”

“I never would have thought you had a sweet tooth.”

Four hours later and Jacq finally woke up from his nap. When he did, he was greeted by the scent of coffee. A sweet aroma was in the air as he managed to get himself out of bed with an unceremonious thud. Saguaro had opted out of his soup plan in favor of scones. A preferable alternative to go with the coffee.

“You’re not the only one.” Saguaro chuckled. “What can I say, there’s a softie underneath this cool exterior. Besides, Juliana and Arven got me some of that Sweet Herba Mystica as a little gift and I want to put it to good use.”

“Oh…” Jacq wearily smirked, “that was really nice of them.”

“It really was.”

An awkward silence fell as Jacq’s frame deflated. His glasses fogged up as he took a sip of coffee. When he set it down, Jacq's elbows rested on the table as fingers intertwined in front of Jacq’s face.

“Sada’s death is hitting you deep, isn’t it? And that’s why you’ve been over working yourself, right?”

“…Yeah.”

“And you haven’t told the Director, if I had to guess. Because you know he’d have you take time off if you did.” Jacq nodded. “And you thought you could bury it under work, thinking that no one would suspect anything?” Jacq nodded again causing Saguaro to roll his eyes. “You know, for someone so smart, you are so dumb sometimes.”

Jacq shrugged his shoulders. “It worked.”

“For how long? A week? And only because our esteemed director had an undercover counseling gig with a pompadour and a dream.” Saguaro’s hand reached across the table, grabbing Jacq’s wrist. “You need to take it easy. You can’t go on like this.”

Jacq’s face fell as he yanked his wrist away. “You’re stubborn, you know that?”

Saguaro chuckled. “That’s probably why he asked me to step in. Fight fire with fire. Or, well, stubbornness with stubbornness. Though, what you really need is a few days off and probably some therapy.”

Reaching out a hand, Saguaro offered comfort, hoping Jacq would accept the offer. Jacq eye the hand, cautiously and curiously. Staring at the hand, he was tempted to take it. To resign himself in defeat and take care of himself. Hovering his hand over Saguaro’s for a moment, Jacq quickly pulled it back.

“I’ll consider it, but I need to know one thing first. Why did you kiss me?”

Withdrawing his hand, Saguari frowned. He wasn't shocked by the qurestion, but he had hoped to avoid it for a little longer.

“First, I’d like to apologize for that. I wasn’t thinking all that clearly when I crossed that boundary. So for that, I am sorry.” Leaning forward, Saguaro proceeded. “In that moment, it felt like it was the only way to get you to stop talking and think for a minute.”

“I… I guess that worked…” He winced slightly as his shoulders shrugged. “It got my attention that’s for sure.” Holding his cup, his thumb gently traced over the rim. “It wasn’t the worst way I’ve been told to shut up. But I would have liked a little heads up. You know, so I’m a little more prepared.” Jacq awkwardly chuckled. Shrugging, he circled back to Saguaro’s request. “I think I’ll take some time off. I just need to let Clavell know.”

A wave of relief hit Saguaro. While relieved that Jacq was more forgiving towards his impulse reaction, he was more relieved that Jacq was going to take some time off to process everything and hopefully relax. Half expecting more of a fight, Saguaro was relieved that there wasn’t.

“I just need a day or two to catch up on sleep and a few meals and I’ll be good to go.” Jacq nodded. “That should be enough time to get this out of my system.” Jacq stood up. “Yeah, that’ll be perfect. Thank-”

Before he could finish he thought, Jacq’s wrist was grabbed and a resistant tug pull him back. One hand clamped on Jacq’s shoulder as another held the side of his face. Saguaro, who now towered over Jacq, for the first time Jacq had ever experienced, appeared unsettled.

“You need more than two days. You’re not okay.”

Jacq tensed. “But I’d be taking time off. That what you want, isn’t it?”

“I want you to step away and get help.” Both hands now held the sides of Jacq’s face. “Two days might be enough to recover physically. Mentally, not so much.”

Air escaped Jacq’s nostrils with melancholy and annoyance.

“Why do you care so much?”

“Because we’re worried about you. You’re running yourself so ragged that you could end up hospitalized or worse.” Saguaro gently ran his fingers through Jacq’s hair. “And knowing what I do now, I couldn’t live with myself if I let you go on like this.”

Glasses got hazy as Jacq tried to find the words to retaliate. He wanted to yell, shout how he didn’t need help. Yet, the words would not formulate.

Instead, his eyes started to water as his sight went dark. Jacq’s legs gave out, causing him to collapse. Falling into arms that picked him up with ease. The sound if Jacq’s name being called out muffled on before unconsciousness took over.

Decided to take notes as I tackled the Santalune Forest instead of stopping and posting periodically.

To start, I met up with Shauna and Calem again so Calem could give me the catching tutorial (despite having caught a Pidgey named Peck). Shauna mentions that Calem's parents are both accomplished pokemon trainers.

Going into the forest, Shauna quickly follows and suggests you go together! I thought this was a great chance to train, since Shauna would heal my team. Side note, Shauna heals your team on request, unlike back in Platinum, where your forest companion heals you after every battle automatically.

I'm trying to complete the pokedex as I go, so I went ahead and caught all the species so far. After making sure everyone was up to level 10, I moved, finally, around the corner to talk to Calem again

Ignore that Green Tea is level 4. I forgot how hard the elemental monkeys are hard to use and I would NOT grind a second one right now.

Now what I assumed would turn into a rival battle did not- instead the whole gang is running around the forst! Tierno battles a youngster so I can't, before Shauna stops me to give me a paralyse heal!

I'm egar to battle the other yongster, Joey, and even more so after he calls me a punk. He has two pokemon, both of which I defend since I'm a little over leveled now, haha....
