XX.

TIANA I am 37 weeks pregnant and will meet my baby girl, Gianna, in just two months. Jey was thrilled to hear that we were expecting a girl because he had always desired a girl child.

Before this baby popped out of me, I was at Trinity's house with the girls organizing the baby shower. We were choosing the colors and patterns for the cake and decorations.

Since the boys were more robust than us anyhow, we planned to have them remove the tables and other items. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket while we were doing that, so I took it out to see that his mother had texted me.

Mama Talisua 🫶🏼 sent a message. IMESSAGE 💬

mama talisua🫶🏼: hello! My daughter-in-law, I just wanted to know what to bring for the baby shower this weekend.

Tiana: Heyy! Mom, you can bring some gifts and some food we need all the food that we can get 😭 mama talisua🫶🏼: don't worry honey I got yall I just can't wait to see my grand baby Tiana: me too mom, me too. mama talisua🫶🏼: tell my son to answer my calls also dear! Tiana: will do 🫡

After texting his mother, Trinity showed me some more ideas for the baby shower. I wanted to go with a white and pink theme so everybody could look pretty in all white or pink.

While we were doing that, I felt Gianna kicking me in the stomach, which always felt funny to me, feeling her little kids in my tummy.

"Oh my goodness, is she kicking?" Trinity asked as I nodded my head.

"Yeah, she is most definitely kicking me like crazy down there." I said, poking at my tummy, curious as to what she was doing in there.

"Girl I still can't believe Joshua knocked you up." I chuckled a little bit while rolling my eyes at her.

I couldn't believe it either. I thought I was going to be stuck with Malakai's ass forever, but I was wrong about that, and I found someone better who loves me and would never want to hurt me. I told Trinity and Bianca about what theme I was going for, for the baby shower, which they obviously loved the idea of being white and pink.

"Yes, that's so perfect, especially since the venue is kind of big just to host a baby shower," Bianca said.

"Ouuu girl, I cannot wait to see you and Joshua's photoshoot pics together. Isn't that today?" I nodded my head while rubbing my tummy.

"It's today. I just have to wait for him to get off of work so that we can go," I replied, feeling Gianna's little feet kick me.

They both nodded their heads at me as we continued to explore more themes for the baby shower.

zillafatu replied to your story: nah fr tho little one is ready indeed she's not playing around 😭 biancabelairwwe replied to your story: NIECEY POOH COME ON OUT SO TETE CAN SEE YOU trinity_fatu replied to your story: girl your tummy is so big romanreigns replied to your story: can't wait to see babygirl rikishi replied to your story: ♥️ jonathanfatu replied to your story: I still can't believe he knocked you up bro 😭

✧.* JEY I was getting off of work and heading towards Trinity and Jon's house to get Tiana so that we could do this photoshoot together. I am so excited to meet my baby girl soon. I already know that she's been kicking her mother in the stomach like crazy.

I felt more in love with Tiana, especially during sex, too. It's best to say that pregnancy sex is the best thing ever.  As I was on the way towards their house, I saw that Kehlani Hoe ass had texted me, probably seeing what Tiana had posted on her story. I kept Kehlani blocked, but she'll just come up with new accounts on IG, as she's just being a stalker at this point.

Kehlani sent 3+ messages IMESSAGE 💬 Kehlani 🙄: are you fucking serious right now Jey? Kehlani🙄: you got this bitch pregnant before me? Kehlani🙄: I thought this was suppose to be us baby? I said I was sorry for cheating on you in the past we can work things out like c'mon yall don't have to get married 🥺🥺

When I read the messages, I rolled my eyes while scoffing at the fact that she is delusional and thinks that I'll just take her back in a heartbeat when I'm already with someone who I want to be with.

She can go cry to that lame ass boy Malakai while he in jail for what he had did to Tiana for all I care, I only care about Tiana and our babygirl Gigi.

Joshua: Lani imma need yo' ass to stop blowing up my phone like we are together when we ain't. Kehlani🙄: Jey c'mon I miss you Joshua: well I don't Lani I'm becoming a father now and ion' need yo' bullshit when I got better things to be worried about. Kehlani 🙄: fuck that Tiana bitch! She doesn't deserve you! Joshua: and you think you do? Girl if yo' ass don't stop playin' on my fucking phone dawg like fr Kehlani🙄: I can do better Jey better than her Joshua: Blocked.

I blocked her number while making a turn and continuing on towards the house; this girl got a lot of confidence in herself right now, playing on my motherfucking phone with allat bullshit.

I finally made it to the house, turning off the ignition in my car before heading up towards the door. I knocked on the door, waiting for one of the girls to come open, and heard footsteps approaching.

The door flew open, and I saw Bianca standing there, including Tank and Marley, coming up to me and showing me some love before I came inside the house. Bianca shut the door behind us, and my eyes scanned for Tiana, but she was nowhere to be found.

"Tiana's in the bedroom sleeping, " Trinity said as I nodded my head while going upstairs to the guest bedroom.

When I went inside the guest bedroom, I could see her sleeping soundly. I quietly walked towards her, sitting next to her on the bed. I moved her hair to the side, admiring her beautiful features and curious to see what our little bundle of joy would look like more.

I caressed her cheeks as she shifted in her sleep, seeing her eyes flutter open, looking towards me with a faint smile.

"Bubba, you're here. Is it almost time to go?" she asked in a husky tone.

"Yeah, mama, c'mon. We gotta get ready for our photoshoot," I said as she whined like a baby, which I found adorable.

She managed to get up with my help so that she wouldn't fall. We walked downstairs, seeing the girls staring at us with a smile.

"Y'all are just the perfect couple like I'm so happy for you bestie." Bianca said.

Tiana smiled at them before we bid our goodbyes and headed out toward the photoshoot location. Tiana and I walked toward my car while I opened the door for her, running back towards my side of the door and opening it while getting in.

We buckled our seatbelts while heading towards the place, listening to some music on Tiana's playlist. She always had some good music to vibe to while in the car.

I looked over towards her, seeing her falling in and out of sleep. So I placed my hand on her belly bump, rubbing it, feeling Gigi's kicks coming from her tummy.

We finally made it to the place. As I took off my seatbelt, seeing Tiana sleeping soundly, I gently shook her as her eyes fluttered open. Darting her eyes toward my direction while stretching her body, I shook her gently.

"Hey, sleepyhead, c'mon, let's go in so we can get ready, love," I said as she nodded her head.

✧.* After our photoshoot, I took Tiana back to my crib and decided to cook us something to eat since I didn't want her to be on her feet as much. As I was cooking us something to eat, I peeked at her lying down on the couch watching TV, laughing at the girls fighting.

'Ion know why she watches this shit.'

I smiled to myself and rolled my eyes as I prepared something easy and nutritious for Tiana because she was genuinely unable to eat anything or her sweets. Tiana was a better cook than me, so she could actually throw it down in the kitchen. I made us some salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and it smelled good coming from the kitchen.

As I carried our plates into the living room, after I finished preparing our meal, I got a drink for us. Tiana was sitting up and licking her lips at the food when I looked at her. 

"This looks so good, Bubba." Tiana said as she smiled at me.

"It's not better than what you cook, love, but thank you. I didn't want you to be on your feet." I said.

We began to eat our food together while putting on Friday. Tiana put her feet on my legs, getting comfortable while eating her food.

"Have you all decided what colors to have for the baby shower this weekend?" Tiana nodded as she reached for her phone, which was next to her.

She showed me some ideas for the baby shower, with the theme of white and pink, which I really liked because it meant I could go all out with our outfits.

"I love this idea, baby. You're going to make me go all out for this, " she chuckled at me while placing her phone down next to her.

We got done eating our food together as I grabbed both of our plates going to wash them in the sink; that's when I felt Tiana wrap her arms around my waist—causing me to turn around seeing her staring up at me with those innocent eyes that got her ass pregnant in the first place.

I placed my hands on her belly, bending down to give it a kiss while talking to Gigi, letting her know that Papa and Mama were waiting for her to come out so we could see her. I felt her little kicks in her mother's tummy, which made me chuckle a little.

My eyes darted back towards Tiana's innocent ones. I placed my hands on her face, bringing her closer to mine while kissing her lips.

"God, you're so perfect, T." She gave me a few pecks on the lips while our foreheads touched each other.

For some reason I just wanted to devour her right there because of them eyes she had it was like pulling me in, I didn't waste no time taking her upstairs to our bedroom.

✧.* SMUT WARNING Jey had you on your side due to your belly as he pounded his dick inside of you, making you feel so full more than ever. You couldn't lie that you did enjoy pregnancy sex but were also worried about the baby.

Worried that his dick was poking onto the babies heard but Jey reassured you that yall little girl was okay. Your eyes rolled in the back of your head while your mouth parted.

He pushed his dick deeper inside of you, causing you to gasp softly while maintaining eye contact with him. Jey loves the way you were looking right now, just all miserable underneath him, letting him do whatever to you because that's your soon-to-be husband, of course.

He firmly grabbed you by the throat beating your super wet cunt in, causing you to whine.

"Fuckkk Josh..." you moaned. You never felt so full, especially when it came to him. He always made you feel good whenever.

Jey felt your walls clenching around him, causing him to let out a groan escape from his lips.

"C'mon mami, you gotta let daddy stretch his pussy out ight?" He continued to give you deep strokes while leaning forward towards you, placing a kiss on your soft lips.

Tiana loosened up a bit for him, letting him be in control. Normally, he would let you be in charge of things, but since you were pregnant, you didn't really want to do a lot of moving around that would instantly get you tired.

Jey was going In deep like he was in the ocean, your ocean to be exact, as he circled his hips, hitting your spot while your eyes were going into your skull.

"Give me this pussy mama, give it to me, watching yo' pretty ass take this dick." He whispered in your ear.

You took all it, causing you to feel like you were on cloud nine right now with him doing this to you, especially while you were pregnant. His groans, mixed with your moans, filled up the bedroom, along with the skin slapping that sounded out the room.

"Joshhhh shit." You whined into his neck as you felt a pit go down her stomach. You felt overwhelmed by this, and your legs were trembling underneath him.

He wanted her to feel every inch of him as you couldn't handle it anymore, so you tried to push him away by his stomach, but he wouldn't let up as he moved your hand away from his stomach.

"Don't do that baby. Be a good girl fo' me and take this shit I want you to make a mess on me." Jey rubbed his thumb over your clit causing you to twitch a bit.

He continued to firmly grip your throat, not trying to hurt you, as you felt your toes curling while his strokes got sloppier and sloppier.

He watched your facial expressions turn up while having a grin on his lips, watching you fall apart. You let out a loud moan, feeling your body shaking violently as you came all him along with tears streaming down your face.

Your breath felt shaky, and your chest heaved up and down, but he didn't care right now because he wasn't done yet. Even if you tapped his shoulder to signal him to slow down, he shook his head, refusing.

"Fuck that you better take this shit." He growled, determined to get his nut after yours.

Cursing under his breath as he continued to give you his strokes while his sweat was dripping down from his body, feeling his dick twitch inside of you.

After a few more thrusts, he let out a satisfying groan escape his lips while filling you up, making sure you got all of his warm seeds inside of you as he pulled out of you, watching it dripping out of you.

SMUT OVER.

Tiana and I were breathing heavily as I saw some tears coming from her face I leaned in forward kissing her lips to calm her down.

I wiped her tears away from her face as she stared into my eyes deeply, I massaged her thighs making her feel at ease due to them shaking violently.

After our little session, we laid down in the bed together, with her cuddled up in my chest. We both continued to watch the rest of Friday together, laughing and enjoying the movie together.

My hand was rubbing against her tummy, feeling Gigi's kicks as she put her hand on top of mine.

"I love you so much Tiana, and I love our little angel." I said.

Tiana smiled at me while placing a kiss on my lips, "I love you more, Bubba; I appreciate you so much. Even when I was dealing with Malakai's ass. You were always there for me." She wasn't wrong I knew she was the one for me when she walked into my tattoo shop I do appreciate Bianca for recommending her my shop.

If she hadn't, I wouldn't have met Tiana at all, and I would probably still be dealing with Kehlani, but now I have someone that I am calling my wife.

"You know I am here for you forever baby." I said, kissing the palm of her hand.

We continued to watch the movie together before drifting off to sleep. I can't wait for this baby shower this weekend.

Under Your Touch.

Ensnared

Pairing: Yandere Kim Taehyung x OC(Yuna)

Reader discretion is advised, especially for those under the age of 18. If you are uncomfortable with such content, it is recommended to refrain from reading and kindly disregard this story.

Synopsis: Yuna finds herself questioning her husband's love and fidelity. She becomes convinced that he has fallen out of love with her and is engaging in an extramarital affair. Adding to her distress, her husband refuses to acknowledge their relationship publicly and instead presents someone else as his wife. Despite the heartache, she chooses to stay by his side, hoping for a change. However, the question lingers: How long can she endure this situation before reaching her breaking point?

​They say that being in love is a beautiful and magical feeling, where two souls intertwine and create a bond that can withstand any storm.

But, why is it that in my case, it feels like something is missing?

My name is Yuna, Kim Yuna, a 26-year-old woman who is married to the one and only Kim Taehyung. He is not only the world's famous CEO but also a self-made model of his own modeling company, which goes by the name of "Kim's Fashion Empire." We have been married for almost two years now, but why do I felt like he was embarrassed to reveal me to the whole world,that he claims someone else as his wife that brakes my heart.

I don't understand how this happened, but he claims that our marriage is just a facade to protect me from his rivals. However, deep down, I can't help but feel that he is protecting himself more than me. There was a time when a reporter asked him about his rumored wife, and the whole world was eager to know who this lucky girl was. Many speculated that it could be a celebrity or an idol, especially Nova, who was working closely with him. We had countless fights over this, but he always managed to calm me down with his sweet words and promises to reveal me to the world as his wife.

The day finally arrived when he introduced Nova as his wife to the public, and it shattered my heart into a million pieces. What hurt even more was when the reporters asked for proof, and without hesitation, he kissed her in front of everyone. As I watched this heartbreaking scene unfold on television, tears streamed down my face, and my heart felt like it was being ripped apart. Meanwhile, our second-anniversary cake remained untouched, a symbol of the love we once shared but now seemed to be crumbling away.

When he finally came home, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. We erupted into another argument, and in my pain and anger, I slapped him and pushed him away, forbidding him from touching me with his filthy hands. He had the audacity to try and kiss me, even after kissing that woman! But, being the foolish woman that I am, I couldn't think straight. I gave in to him once again, swayed by his sweet words, apologies, and manipulative explanations. He made me believe that he only did it to protect me from his enemies, who would stop at nothing to bring him down by using me as a weapon. And in my weakness, I allowed him to win me over, as he tightly embraced me, and I cried myself to sleep.

I know I may seem foolish and naive, but please don't be mad at me. I truly love this man with all my heart, and it's that love that keeps me holding on, hoping that one day, he will truly see and appreciate the love I have for him.

​...

​It was 8:46 a.m., and I stepped out of the car, a smile gracing my face. I adjusted my dress and held onto the lunch I had cooked for him. With a mask and cap on, I entered his company, always in awe of its grandeur. His intelligence and hard work had brought him to this position as the CEO of the number one top modeling agency, making him the most handsome man in the world. I couldn't help but feel immense pride in my man.

As I walked towards the receptionist, she greeted me with a warm smile, and I returned it graciously. Making my way through the VIP elevator, I ascended to his office. The sound of the elevator opening made me look up, and I stepped out, heading towards his office door. However, my smile faltered when I saw them again. Him and Nova, standing side by side, engrossed in conversation. I watched as they seemed to be getting closer, his smile widening as he listened to her. I didn't allow myself to dwell on negative thoughts and cleared my throat to catch their attention. They both turned towards me, and Nova quickly distanced herself from him, his smile fading as his eyes met mine. It had been a while since I had seen him smile like that, but not for me, for another woman. Was this a sign? No, I couldn't let myself think that way. I cleared my mind and approached his desk as Nova excused herself and left us alone, maybe for good. Ugh, why was I feeling jealous again?

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his face void of emotions, twirling his expensive and favorite pen between his fingers.

I smiled at him and placed the lunch box on his glass table, but my actions halted when he said, "I already ate lunch." I couldn't help but notice another lunch box on his table. Did he... no, Yuna, stop it. I cleared my throat, looking away from him, trying to control the hurt emotions that threatened to overflow and the tears that welled up in my eyes.

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll just go," I said, not giving him a chance to respond, and quickly walked away.

I heard him call my name, and I stopped, waiting for him to burst through the door and stop me from leaving, but he didn't. This was new. He had even neglected our planned dinner date last night and hadn't given me a valid reason for canceling. But, being the understanding wife that I am, I didn't pester him and simply supported him, assuming it was for business. He had changed. My consciousness whispered these words, but I laughed them off, trying to stop myself from overthinking.

​.....

​"C'mon, Yuna, are you really that naive?" My friend Ria said to me in disbelief. I hissed and looked down, finally letting my tears flow as I cried helplessly in her comforting embrace.

I had decided to meet my friend because I didn't know what to think anymore about my situation. I poured my heart out to her, explaining his behavior towards me and the signs that maybe he no longer loved me. My friend suggested that perhaps he had been using me all along and that he was only staying because of my late father.

My father and he were close business partners, and that's how I met and fell in love with him. When my father fell sick with cancer, he made him promise to take care of me and love me unconditionally. But now, it seemed like the man my father entrusted me to was drifting away from me.

"This is wrong, what he is doing is wrong, Yuna—what the hell?" Ria frowned at me, and suddenly our attention shifted to the television in the cafe. Not only my friend and I, but all the customers in the cafe turned their attention to the TV. I struggled to maintain consciousness, gripping my friend's hand tightly, even though I could hear her hiss in pain. Right now, I didn't care. My focus was solely on the TV screen.

The reporter flashed a sweet smile as she updated everyone on how Kim Taehyung, my husband, was caught by a paparazzi in one of the most luxurious hotels in Seoul, dating his fake wife, Nova. My heart shattered once again, for the millionth time. Maybe there was no heart left to be broken in me anymore, considering the immense pain I had endured since marrying this man who had promised the world to me. He had promised to protect, cherish, and love me, but they were all sweet lies thrown in my face just to make me his submissive wife.

I saw adoration and that wide, charming smile that had once made me fall in love with him, now directed towards the woman he held at the waist in the picture displayed on the television. The reporter smiled widely at the sweet display, and everyone watching seemed oblivious to how much it was breaking me. He had succeeded in breaking me. Kim Taehyung, aren't you done? What have I done to deserve being made a fool of? I only loved and still love you, but why?

What's even more heartbreaking is that just two hours ago, he had informed me that he had an important meeting with Mr. Jung. Little did I know that it was just an excuse for him to meet his secret lover behind my back. I understand that he claims to be using her as a way to deceive his rivals and make them believe she is his wife, but this is too much. It's no longer about that. I can feel it, strongly. He has been cheating on me right in front of my face all this time, and I am the foolish one who ignored all the signs.

Pathetic. That's what I am.

​.....

​Kim Taehyung walked in with his fake wife, Nova, by his side, basking in the glory of the cameras flashing and capturing their every move. He proudly gripped Nova's waist tightly, wearing a proud smile as they made their way through the doors of the ball. All eyes were on them as they entered, and Kim Taehyung reveled in the attention. The compliments and adoration thrown their way only fueled his arrogance.

He had it all - money, fame, looks, real estate, and more. But the most important thing to him was his perfect little wife waiting for him at home. Despite his recent avoidance of her, he claimed it wasn't because he had fallen out of love. No, it was something else, something he couldn't quite explain. He knew he would go insane if she ever walked away from his life. There was an addiction, a need that consumed him.

The reason for his distance from his wife was the presence of someone in his den, someone who was interfering with his life. He needed to be careful and find out who it was. He couldn't wait to put an end to their existence for making him stay away from his wife. The thought of shedding blood excited him, and his fingers itched for that feeling of thick liquid on his skin.

He needed to discover the identity of the person spying on him before they found out who his real wife was, the woman he had sworn to protect. There were already three people he and his right-hand man, Jungkook, suspected. He was waiting for them to make a wrong move.

Amidst his thoughts, Jungkook leaned in and whispered to him, his fake smile still plastered on his face. "Mr. Kim, some paparazzi have captured pictures of you and Nova leaving the meeting at Veroza and claim that you were on a date. I believe madame has already seen it."

Anger coursed through his veins, and he clenched his teeth in frustration, but he maintained a forced smile for the onlookers. "Is she at the mansion? Don't let her leave under any circumstances," Taehyung demanded through gritted teeth. He was already on thin ice with his wife, and he knew his recent ignorance towards her had caused her to overthink, especially after what happened in his office earlier. Although a sick part of him enjoyed seeing her jealous and then reassuring her with physical intimacy, he knew he needed to talk to her tonight. However, he wasn't sure if she would believe him if he explained that he was only there for the meeting. His mind was in turmoil.

"Boss, bad news. Madam hasn't returned home," Jungkook began, but before he could finish his sentence, Taehyung angrily stormed out of the ballroom, his eyes burning with rage. Jungkook followed closely behind, and the guests and everyone present witnessed the scene, leaving Nova feeling embarrassed and alone.

​

​....

The two black sports cars raced through the busy streets of Seoul, disregarding traffic lights and causing chaos. Pedestrian officers and even the police were instructed to make way for the racing cars, as orders from higher authorities had come in to ensure their passage. The honking of the cars echoed through the streets, creating a sense of urgency and danger.

"Fucking track my wife this instance!" Taehyung's voice boomed through the earpiece, filled with anger and determination. His eyes burned with a murderous intensity as he accelerated, pushing the car to its limits.

"Jeon, you know what to do to that traitor. I will take care of

the lamb and my wife," he commanded through the earpiece, his voice laced with a deadly tone that instilled fear even in the young man who had worked for Kim Taehyung for many years. Nobody wanted to cross paths with Kim Taehyung if they valued their lives.

.....

​The dark alleyway remained eerily silent, with the cold wind whispering chilling thoughts to anyone who dared to walk through this part of the street. It had gained a reputation as a place where numerous murders had taken place.

"Where's the money?" the tanned, imposing man asked, taking a drag from his cigarette. His red eyes indicated that he had just finished using drugs. The man with the hood scoffed and handed over the envelope containing the money. The tanned man grinned, satisfied that he was about to receive the payment he desired.

Suddenly, eerie and painful screams pierced through the dark alleyway. The tanned man's right hand, which had been intact just moments ago, was now blasted off. He fell to his knees, writhing in pain and clutching his mangled arm. His screams intensified when he saw his fingers scattered on the floor, blood splattered all around. The hooded man stood frozen, unable to move, as he stared at the once-arrogant tanned man now kneeling before him, his right hand obliterated.

An eerie, manic laugh echoed through the alleyway, accompanying the sound of approaching footsteps. The hooded man felt a shiver run down his spine as he turned away from the lifeless body on the ground to see someone in the distance. The figure walked slowly, deliberately, towards them, continuing to chuckle in a dark and unsettling manner. The moonlight briefly illuminated the man's face, causing the hooded man to gasp and step back, only to slip in the dark pool of blood from the tanned man. He found himself face to face with the man's severed arm.

As the figure continued to stalk towards him, the hooded man could hear a deep voice speaking through an earpiece. "Thanks, Jimin hyung. I'll take it from here," the voice said, followed by another chilling laugh directed at the hooded man's terrified expression. The figure crouched down in front of him, a sick smile on his face, and looked down at the lifeless body on the ground. The blood continued to flow from the man's severed arm, creating a macabre image akin to a faucet running.

"You should just mind your own business, young man," the man's deep, menacing voice echoed as he stared at the hooded man with madness in his eyes. The hooded man shook his head, wanting to plead for his life, but no words came out. He was too terrified by this man, this angel-faced monster who had just committed murder and laughed about it.

Before the hooded man could react, a knife sliced through his neck, catching him off guard. He choked on his own blood, desperately clutching his throat as blood gushed out. He tried to scream, but his cries were muffled as the mad man repeatedly pushed the knife into his mouth, silencing him. The man's famous boxy smile widened as he spoke.

"And these eyes too," he said with a sickening smile, proceeding to carve out the hooded man's lifeless eyes. Blood splattered everywhere, but the man only found amusement in the gruesome act. He continued his sadistic torture, chopping off the hooded man's hands, reveling in the pain he inflicted.

Once he was done with his never-ending torment, he stood up, his handsome face twisted with a wide smile. In the distance, a booming sound echoed, as if something had been obliterated in the faraway distance. The man laughed again upon hearing it. His earpiece buzzed, and he heard the voices of Jimin and Jungkook.

"Boss, it's done," they said.

A wide, chilling smile spread across the man's face as his eerie laugh resonated through the eerie alleyway, accompanied by the two lifeless bodies lying before him.

"Now, where are we again?" he asked himself, pretending as if he had done nothing wrong. "Ah, yes, to my beautiful runaway wife," he chuckled. "Time to bring her back home."

He walked away, humming an eerie tune, leaving behind a trail of darkness and terror.

.....

Jungkook and Jimin stood together, watching the burning building as firefighters and police worked to control the fire and keep civilians away. The cries of family members and fans of Nova, who were likely among the victims, filled the air. Jimin casually ate a burger, seemingly unfazed by the tragic scene unfolding before them.

"That man is really crazy for his wife, willing to burn the world and kill for her," Jimin commented between bites. Jungkook scoffed and looked up at the dark sky, now surrounded by thick smoke.

"May heaven help her escape his madness," Jungkook whispered, his voice filled with concern. Jimin overheard and laughed in response.

"I wish the same, but based on what that man has done, he's deeply obsessed with her," Jimin added before groaning and clutching his stomach. Jungkook raised an eyebrow, looking down at Jimin.

"What? Are the dead seeking revenge on you already?" Jungkook mockingly asked, bursting into laughter. Jimin shot him a deadly glare.

"Shut up," Jimin retorted.

After a while, both Jungkook and Jimin decided to leave the scene, leaving behind the aftermath of destruction and tragedy.

.....

Ria sighed sadly as she observed her sleeping friend in bed. Tears stained her cheeks, and her eyelashes were still wet from crying. Ria leaned against the doorframe, worried about her friend's future. She was broken by her husband's betrayal, and it had brought her to a state where she cried herself to sleep.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking glass interrupted Ria's thoughts, causing her eyes to widen. Was someone breaking into her house? She quickly ran to the kitchen, grabbing a knife and feeling her heart pound with adrenaline. She looked around the dark surroundings, then dashed back to the bedroom where her friend slept.

Locking the door, Ria didn't realize that the intruder would only laugh at the thought that it could stop him from getting what he wanted all along. Yuna stirred in her sleep and groaned as Ria shook her to wake her up. But when Yuna saw the fear on her friend's face, she immediately became uneasy and scared, sensing that something was wrong. Her eyes widened when she noticed the knife in Ria's hand.

Ria shook Yuna's shoulders, trying to get her attention. "There's someone in this house," Ria said, her voice trembling, which only made Yuna clutch the bedsheets tightly.

"What do you mean?" Yuna asked, still bewildered by the situation.

"Hush. There's someone who broke into my house," Ria replied, but before she could finish her sentence, someone banged on the door, causing both of them to scream.

The banging continued, and a scary, deep voice resonated from the other side of the door, a voice that both of them recognized all too well. "Open the door, babe," Taehyung's voice rang out, filled with anger. Yuna looked at Ria, shaking her head in fear. She had witnessed Taehyung's anger before, nearly seeing him beat a man who had flirted with her to the brink of death.

Ria gulped and hugged Yuna tightly, glaring at the door, which was seconds away from being forced open. When it finally burst open, Taehyung stood there, his heaving form and the darkness surrounding him instilling fear in Ria. But she remained strong for her friend, gripping the knife tighter.

Yuna shook her head, afraid to face her furious husband. Ria widened her eyes, finally taking notice of Taehyung's appearance. He was covered in blood, as if he had bathed in it before coming to find his next victim.

"Hand me over my wife now," Taehyung demanded, struggling to control his urge to harm the woman who had influenced his wife to leave him.

Ria stood her ground, gripping the knife tightly. "Stay away from her and leave this place! Or else, I will call the police!" Ria screamed, attempting to scare him away. But a cold fear ran through her spine when Taehyung only laughed and took short steps toward them.

"Busan, at xxx address," Taehyung said blankly, smirking at the terrified female. Ria's eyes widened, filled with horror. No, he wouldn't.

"Oh, I would," Taehyung said, seemingly reading her mind as he chuckled and stopped just an arm's length away from them.

"Don't touch them!" Ria suddenly screamed, causing Yuna to startle and look at Taehyung, making eye contact with him. He smirked, opening his arms as if inviting her to take them, but she shook her head, overwhelmed by fear at his appearance. She felt an urge to vomit.

"Now, wifey, come here, or else more people will be killed today, hm? Let's not make it worse," Taehyung taunted.

Yuna's eyes widened in fear, and she cried out loudly, trembling in terror. This man was a monster. How could he do this?

Ria stood there, paralyzed with fear, accidentally loosening her grip on the knife, which fell to the ground. She looked down in defeat. Her family's lives were on the line, and she felt powerless.

Taehyung saw this as an opportunity and grabbed his wife, who screamed and struggled to break free. Annoyed, he punched her in the face, gripping her hair and punching her again. Yuna lay unconscious after those two punches, and Taehyung sighed, picking her up.

Suddenly, Taehyung stopped in his tracks and looked back at Ria, who had remained quiet throughout the ordeal.

"If I were you, I would stay the fuck away and never come back," he threatened one last time before walking out of the house with a proud smirk on his face.

However, guilt flickered in his eyes when he noticed the bruise on his wife's beautiful face. He sighed again.

"This wouldn't have happened if you had just behaved,"

he mumbled to himself as he placed her in the backseat and drove away, taking his wife back to his cage, waiting for her. He was sure this time he wouldn't let her leave him again. He had gone crazy for a day when she left him, losing control in front of the party and the cameras that captured his every action and shared it with the media and his fans. It was all because of his wife. God, he didn't know what would happen if she managed to escape his grasp.

...

The guards quickly opened the giant gates as they saw the fast-approaching black car racing inside. The car came to a stop and parked perfectly in front of the gold and white mansion. Taehyung stepped out of the car, still dirty and disheveled, but his undeniable handsomeness remained. He ignored the wide-eyed gasps of the maids as he swiftly walked to their room, carrying his still unconscious wife.

After cleaning himself and his wife up, Taehyung stood on the balcony, puffing on his cigarette and closing his eyes. He chuckled at his thoughts, then glanced at his wife and the handcuffs binding her to the bed.

He left the room and made his way to his study, situated in a far corner of the mansion. Sitting down in the chair, he turned on the TV to watch the news about the still-burning building where he had been just hours ago. His name appeared on the screen, along with Nova's picture. He laughed as the reporter offered condolences to him and the woman's family, scoffing at their sympathy. He poured himself a glass of wine, smirking at the situation.

"You can come in," he said, and the people outside the door entered. They marveled at how he could sense their presence even without looking. Well, it was to be expected when there was always a paparazzi tailing him.

"Boss, we successfully eliminated all the people at that event," Jimin said, playing with his gun as he slumped on the couch, closing his eyes. He still felt the pain in his stomach after eating the burger from the event that they had blown up, killing everyone inside. Jungkook sat quietly at the far end of the couch, his face stoic.

...

Taehyung twirled the alcohol in his glass and looked up at the two. "I can see that," he smirked, his gaze shifting to the TV screen still displaying the burning building. The sight brought a creepy smirk to their lips. They had grown just as mad as their boss, even if they didn't admit it.

...

Yuna stirred in her sleep, attempting to soothe her aching jaw. But when she felt restraints on her hands, panic washed over her, and she let out a surprised yell upon realizing her wrists were handcuffed to the bed. "No! What is this?" she exclaimed, tugging on the restraints in a panic. Her fear intensified when a dark, dominating voice filled the room, though she couldn't see its source due to the darkness.

"You really think you can escape from me, my love?" the voice asked, madness swirling in its eyes as it looked at Yuna, his prized possession, who began to cry.

"Since the day you married me, you have become mine, forever tied to me whether you like it or not," the voice continued. It stood up and slowly crawled onto the bed, causing Yuna's panic to escalate. She cried out in fear as the figure loomed over her, kissing her cleavage and neck. It was then that she realized she was only in her undergarments, making her feel vulnerable.

"Stop!" Yuna yelled, but her voice was muffled by the sudden, harsh kiss that silenced her. Her husband devoured her lips as if it was his last.

Yuna spent the entire night crying helplessly as her own husband forced himself on her, claiming it was an act of love and asserting his ownership. But for her, it felt like he was raping her soul. She hated herself for being powerless, unable to stop the repeated assaults. As exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she teetered on the edge of consciousness, she heard him whisper in a dark, chilling tone, "You are mine, forever and ever, and no one can change that." He devoured her lips once more before darkness claimed her completely.

[gingacat]

my twst yuu oc!

name: Miyuu Toshigami (年神 美祐 - Toshigami Miyū)

birthday: March 19 (Pisces)

age: 17

height: 159 cm

homeland: Japan

grade: Freshman (Sophomore in her world)

class: Class A

club: Mountain lovers club

best subject: Conjuration

hobbies: Talking to bugs

pet peeves: People disrupting the peace

favorite food: Fried rice cake

least favorite food: Ketchup

talent: Cleaning

Personality

Miyuu is very calm and peaceful, but she can get incredibly passive agressive when irritated. She speaks in Kansai dialect, and the phrase she repeats the most is definitely "kamahen, kamahen" (it's okay, no worries). Her voice is soothing, and hearing her screaming is certainly cursed — but it can happen if someone somehow manages to infuriate her.

She loves bugs and doesn't accept people slandering them. "disgusting? yeah, i believe you would know that." says Miyuu with a peaceful smile on her face, but if you squint hard enough you can see the veins popping out of her forehead.

Miyuu likes to help people and, disregarding the passive aggressiveness, is always kind to everyone even if they aren't nice to her at all. She was taught that nothing good comes from doing bad things and decides that if she can't change the world, at least she can choose to be a good person herself.

She is brave and will never allow or approve something that "disturbs the harmony" to happen when she is around. She believes that harming people and physically hurting them will make her not only impure, but also cursed. No matter what, if she sees someone or something in danger, she will always try to save them.

Background

Miyuu was born and raised in a Shinto shrine inside of a sacred forest in Kyoto. She is a miko (shrine maiden), daughter of a kannushi (priest), and mostly helps in tasks such as cleaning the shrine and aiding her father during rituals.

While she grew up in the forest, Miyuu went to school in the city nearby, but was never able to make any friends. Instead she became very fond of the insects that resided in the forest, which ended up becoming her only friends.

She teleported to Twisted Wonderland when she realized a distracted classmate (who was also her previous bully) was about to be run over by the carriage, and Miyuu jumped in to save the girl's life. Her stick-bug friend Kōhī, who was in her pocket, got teleported together.

Trivia

美祐 - the first kanji (Mi) means beautiful, and the second (yuu) means assist.

Toshigami is a Japanese kami and part of the Shinto pantheon.

Lilia Vanrouge: test me

“Hey God, I'll be the jester. Entertain ya to the best of my ability. When I suffer more, fragility, when I answer. Came here for a reason, oh-oh. So stop complaining, all have our seasons, oh-oh. It's not just a joke or a lesson to live through. Every which way in second, there's a breakthrough”

Silver (Vanrouge): FAERIE SOIRÉE

“Lips of sugar, I'm breathing the pheromones again. Ooh-ah, ooh-ah (ah). Hands are tied and Miranda Rights don't mean nothing. Led me astray to the faerie soirée. Alone, alone.

Laced with love, intensive grooving”

Sebek Zigvolt: play date

“We're just playing hide and seek. It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you. I don't want to play no games. I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you. I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you? You never share your toys or communicate. I guess I'm just a play date to you”

“Oc’s”

Ibhana “Vesper” Baske: Spider Web

“Better off dead than stuck in a maze. The center may seem like a gift. Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life. And you'll wish that you never did. Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs. To build a web that'll spread through the world. Feeding off our highs and lows. And curious to see us struggle. No one can leave once they merge”

Tao Yúchi: gingerbread man

“I need a gingerbread man. The one I'll feed. A gingerbread man. The one I'll eat. One who's always crazy. Never calls me baby. That's the one that I want. All you boys are not him, not him. Can't you see? I only want the ones who never see me. But I'm happy. I love playing these games until my heart bleeds. It bleeds jelly. 'Cause you don't want someone to eat your cookie. Can someone please. Find him for me, find him for me?”

Igor Kazentoc: THE CONTORTIONIST

“I don't wanna bruise for you. Holding back my words until my face is blue. I don't really care about your crew. You can tell 'em what you wanted to. Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (pushin' me) Bodies touching, bodies touching (lovin' me) Blood is pumping, blood is pumping (pullin' me). Feeling nothing, feeling nothing (fuckin' me) Bones are crushing, bones are crushing (crushin' me) Bodies touching, bodies touching (touchin' me) Ooh-ah”

Junto Shuisha: mrs. Potato head

“Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me. Is it true that pain is beauty? Does a new face come with a warranty? Will a pretty face make it better? Oh Mr. Potato Head tell me. How did you afford her surgery? Do you swear you'll stay forever. Even if her face don't stay together. Even if her face don't stay together”

Jasper Spade: The bakery

“My boss is mother Mary. Catch me slippin' through the concrete. Show no mercy, step right on me. Stiletto death, send me to purgatory. The bakery, tryna make some more. They expect me to stay when I should go. Grab the bag for when they cross the door. It ain't for me to roll it out. It's just for me to raise the dough”

Najih Al-Amin: teachers pet

“Teacher's pet. If I'm so special, why am I secret? Yeah, why the fuck is that? Do you regret. The things we shared that I'll never forget? Well, do you? Tell me that. I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years. I knew this wouldn't last, but fuck you, don't you leave me here. Teacher's pet. If I'm so special, why am I secret?”

Aikat Spanos: Mad Hatter

“Where is my prescription? Doctor, doctor, please listen. My brain is scattered. You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter. I'm peeling the skin off my face. 'Cause I really hate being safe. The normals, they make me afraid. The crazies, they make me feel sane”

Phobes Spanos: Carousel

“And it's all fun and games. 'Til somebody falls in love. But you already bought a ticket. And there's no turning back now. Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go. Will I catch up to love? I can never tell, I know. Chasing after you is like a fairytale, but I. Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel”

One Piece: Of Sweet Donuts and Fortune Cookies [3]

Part 1! Part 2!

Summary: In which every child loves sweets, and loves her otherworldly treats. (Or Katakuri loves someone who's a liar)

Pairing: A little bit of Charlotte Katakuri x Immortal! Female! OC-insert

Note: This is the final part of this series! The female OC is a transmigrator that came from the modern world who (somehow) became immortal, and is more than what Katakuri ever expected.

You Cake My Breath Away

Katakuri starts to notice things about her.

From the way she dresses differently every day, to the way she smiles.

From the way she treats her customers to the way she loves her brother.

It's becomes vibrant, a light in his life.

She welcomes him and his siblings without hesitation and always gives them treats.

She doesn't have any greedy eyes that Katakuri always sees nor the hidden contempt behind her back.

So when Katakuri has finally realized he's just as tall as her, he could see her squarely in the eyes and realize that her eyes are like jewels.

It's so strange. 

He's never been so confused before. 

And it seemed like he was the only one who seems to act this way. 

It's not like him. 

He's supposed to be the perfect child, the perfect son of the notorious Big Mom. 

What's wrong with him?

"Perhaps adoration is what you are feeling." Theseus says casually, though for once his smile seems a little too tense. 

"However, I would like to advise you to give up. My lady only sees you as a child."

Katakuri had a sudden urge to fight the man, but he held back when Theia ran out of their storage room in a rush. 

"Theseus, my brother! Look! I finally made brownies!" She cheers and Theseus congratulates her as if he didn't just threaten Katakuri. Then she turns to Katakuri with a surprised smile. 

"Kata! Sorry to keep you waiting, but do you want to try my brownie? It's a new food item I'm planning on adding to the menu!" When she offered it to him, he took it and had a bite. 

It was delicious as always, and so so sweet. Katakuri nods with a satisfied smile, making her happy. 

"Okay, but what's up? You're all dressed up and everything today." Katakuri stills, and then remembers that this visit had a purpose. 

His eyes steels to one worthy of the Charlotte name.

"Mama wants to invite both Theia and Theseus to a tea party." 

Katakuri expected fear, or some sort of negative emotion, but instead, Theia's smile slowly quirked up into a sudden smirk, before disappearing quickly. 

A sudden chill went down his spine, triggering his fight or flight instincts, reminding him of the first time they met. 

A reminder that they were predators. 

"I accept." 

(Katakuri didn't notice his own smirk hidden underneath his scarf, and was that excitement or relief?)

Perhaps she is not as tamed as she appears. 

Pie! Let's Meet Again

"Mama mama! Welcome to my tea party!"

Katakuri knew this was not a normal tea party, but it was not his duty to wonder what Mama was planning. With his siblings, he sat beside Mama like a good son he is, and watches the two baker siblings bow in respect. 

"We are honoured to be invited to your tea party Big Mom. We've also brought some of our deserts as our thanks." Theia says, completely out of character, almost graceful and majestic even, as she allows Theseus to serve their desserts on the table. 

As expected, Mama devours their desserts easily and quickly with a satisfied maniac grin on her face. 

Theia and Theseus didn't say anything, in fact, they simply sipped their tea respectfully and patiently on the side.

As if they expected this.

"Mama mama, shall we get down to business?" Big Mom leans forward with the same grin and Thesia challenges with a gentle smile. 

"Oh? What could you mean, Big Mom?" 

"I can't believe you hid so well in my territory! And opened a bakery right under my nose! Did you have any business here?" 

"Of course not. I was simply travelling around."

"Mama mama! Of course, and you haven't changed with your brother since long long ago!"

They knew each other? Since when?

Even the playful music in the background stilled as the two women starred at one another, and Katakuri identified it to be Conqueror's Haki. Although he was in the midst of training, this pressure was pushing down on him. 

Theia tapped the table once while she leaned on her other hand with a sly smile. 

"Why don't we cut the formalities, Linlin? It seems you remembered something important." 

And the table cracks under all the pressure after Mama starts to laugh.

"We finally meet again, the Mother of Eternity!" 

Katakuri immediately shielded his siblings from the shattering cutlery and glassware in front of them. By commanding his siblings to stay back, he stood in front as he watched chaos unfold in front of him. 

The Mother of Eternity is Theia?

Who haven't heard of that title? Then if the Mother of Eternity is here, Theseus must be...

"The Sage of the New World." Katakuri widened his eyes at the revelation.  

This was their true identity?  

Katakuri recalled seeing their wanted posters, but there was never a clear picture of their appearance. In fact, people say the photographer never lived after snapping a photo of them.

But Katakuri has heard rumours about the two. Many of which are just mere speculations, one of them was immortality, and one was that they were inhuman. 

Some say they were immortal monsters from the previous era.

So many emotions burst forth from within, confusion, anger, embarrassment and betrayal. 

Why did she hide? Why did she trick him?

"Well, looks like it's time for us to leave. It was fun, Linlin."

Then Theia looked at Katakuri with a giant smile. Tiny green, gold, and white lights surround the two siblings as giant, majestic silver wings sprouted from her her back. 

"Mama mama! I heard it from my old Captain, but to think you still actually exist!" Mama was beyond content with the free show, as she stared at Theia with desire. 

"Join my family!" 

"You've grown up, Linlin." Theia remarks, before she snaps, and bright light blinded Katakuri's eyes. When the light dims, all it remains is a destroyed room and his angry mother. 

"Find her and her brother! NOW!" 

Without hesitation, Katakuri sprinted out to search for her. 

He was the first to arrive at her bakery, or at least where it used to be, because there was nothing left of it. 

Similarly, all of the employees disappeared like dust. Just like how Theia and Theseus left without a trace, everything related to them also escaped. 

"Her vivre card...is gone! What is going on!?" 

Katakuri ran and ran, looking for a single trace of her on the island. For some reason, he wanted to believe that when she looked at him with such sincerity, she did it with reason. 

So when Katakuri saw a flicker of green light in the distance, he followed and chased without hesitation. Like a mad hound, he rushed after it, before arriving behind of the duo who stood at the edge of the island. 

"Theia!" 

When she turned around, she gave a smile identical to the ones where she would welcome them in to her bakery. 

Katakuri rushed ahead with his trident, but like the first time they met, Theseus easily stops him with his hand, and completely freezing him in place with those strange purple lights. Upon closer look, they were...fairies! 

Katakuri suddenly remembered another rumour. 

Some say, they were from an extinct race.

Some say, they've come for revenge!

But how could this be? Katakuri remembered Mama saying they were extinct 800 years ago during the Void Century!

In the midst of his confusion and desperation, Theia leans forward and speaks beside his ear. 

"It was fun, Charlotte Katakuri." 

Katakuri jumps back and watches as Theia burst into light along with Theseus and they scatter in the air, never to be seen again. 

Were they ever here? Were they simply an illusion? 

All of his doubt vanished upon seeing a fortune cookie rolled to his feet. 

Picking it up and cracking it open, a piece of paper rolled out. 

"Let's meet again, Kata."

[scummy-writes]

My dear Scummy 💖 Hope it's okay to tell you my Valentine's scenario in my OC's pov. 

Maeve would most likely give flowers to Keith. She would pick the most beautiful flowers from the perennial garden they share and arrange them in two different bouquets: one with a lot of white, pink, and lilac flowers, sweet and delicate, and the other with red, yellow and purple flowers, more passionate and intense. She would also weave two grass bracelets. She would lament a bit the fact that she can't bake anything fancy (she believes it should be fancy for Valentine's, but more importantly, it should be something you did with your hands, and she feels more confident about making the flowers and the bracelets). 

The Keiths would bake her a strawberry and chocolate cake (poor) Yves taught them a while ago just for this day - the Keiths were planning for this for a while now.

They would take Maeve out for a romantic picnic in the woods and enjoy some quality time together in the nature. If Alter shows up, well, he's certainly finding new ways to keep her warm 😏. Nice Keith would rather save it for after the dinner they had prepared for her, for he wants it to be special. 

But before the night is over, they would stargaze together in the balcony. They're just a bit too excited to let this day come to an end so soon, since it would be their first Valentine's together with someone they love 🥰

Oof, told you it was getting long!

Thanks a lot and Happy Valentine's day, Scummy!!!

Djskdjf this is so sweet 🥺 I don't think I did your scenario justice at all, but I tried.

[A Letter Left For The Morning After]

My Dearest Maeve, This is Keith Howell. … I can hear you chuckling as you read that. Bringing a smile to your face is always a goal of mine, even if it is at my own expense. It’s rather cowardly of me to leave you a letter rather than say this myself, but I want you to know this all the same. I never dreamed I would spend this day with someone who loved me, even with knowing all of my faults. You saw my struggles, and not only loved me despite of them, but supported the both of us as well. …It’s overwhelming to think about, at times. For so long, I believed I deserved so little. I looked at this day with dread, trying to bear through it. But today, I received my first bouquet.  I nearly wept, my Maeve. I’m so used to picking through flowers, I never thought I’d have some given to me. I’m already trying to decide which ones I can press and save, if not all of them. I know he loves his as well, and is planning the same. I promised long ago to stop apologizing so much, and instead focus on thanking you, so… Thank you, Maeve, for celebrating today with me. Thank you for accepting me as I am. Thank you for your everlasting love. And thank you for accepting mine.

I can feel Wonwoo's gentle nudge on my back while guiding me toward the cafe's entrance. Thank God for door handles 'cause I can't feel my whole body right now.

Reflection

As we walk up to his table, he goes ahead of me to place my things on the extra chair and prep my seat. I can't help but think about how lucky his girlfriend would be, everything about him is so gentle and sweet. "Your class ended pretty late," he says while clearing out a few of his things on the table. "Yeah..," I responded. I don't have much to say because my heart and mind are battling each other as I try to maintain my composure. He looked up at me and a smile formed slowly across his face as if he was about to tease me. "What?" I asked, my brows meet in the middle. "Nothing. You look a bit tense," he comments while he types on his laptop. "I am not tense. I'm just a bit cold," I lied. I'm literally wearing a sweater. This made him look up at me again and he reached for my hand, held onto it, and gently rubbed his thumb against it. "Well, your hands are definitely cold..." I was avoiding his eyes and focused on our hands. OUR HANDS. I shifted out of nervousness and my eyes fell on his face. He was looking at me as if he was anticipating approval from me. He slowly placed the back of his hand on my cheek, and I could feel the rush of heat slowly made its way to my face. I'm sure my eyes were probably as big as button doll's. "...your cheeks feel very warm though. You might catch a fever," he says as he removes his hand from my cheek to take a sip of his coffee. What felt like hours were just mere seconds, I can't believe I let this man stop my time just like that. I couldn't bring myself to look at him so I started fidgeting on my phone. He didn't ask me any questions after what he did, he just started typing away on his laptop. He occasionally let out a small cough, I glanced at him once and he let out a small laugh. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

After a few long minutes had passed, I gathered up the courage to ask him about his research. He was confused and asked why I knew he was doing research, and I told him that he gets hyper-focused whenever he's doing research since essays are somehow a piece of cake for him. I also mentioned how he's almost identical to The Thinker whenever he's doing his research. He laughed at my remark and imitated The Thinker's pose again. After a few conversations, he decided to bring out the cards again. We exchanged questions and listened to each other's responses delicately. Wonwoo's laptop is now halfway closed, I thought about telling him off and letting him continue his research but he discreetly closed it while I continued talking. "Uhm, why are you still here?!", an unfamiliar voice uttered. I turned around, but she was already standing beside me. It was Jen, she was only looking at Wonwoo. I turned to look at Wonwoo and he was looking at Jen but he was facing me. "Uhm, why aren't you home yet?" he replied to Jen, "Piss off. I'm still working. And if you haven't noticed, I'm with someone right now," he gestured in my direction. Jen turns to look at me, "Oh, god, sorry. I think this is the second time I've done that. I'm Jen!" she greets me. "Yeah, we've met before," I told her as I shook her hand with a smile. "Well, since I'm already here," she says while she gets an extra chair and props herself beside me. "...might as well drive us both home, right?" She's so full of energy. No wonder she's the captain of the cheer squad. Their banter is quite funny, to be honest. "Your class ended at 5:30 today and you chose to stick around, even if you didn't have practice today, so I could drive you home??" he responded. "Duh, and you weren't responding to messages too. I figured you'd be here since you like this place so much," she wasn't even looking at him, she was on her phone. "Hey, you know, you look so familiar to me. Did you happen to go to that elementary school near that convenience store where this idiot had his car towed?" she asked. "Yeah, I graduated middle school there too. I don't remember seeing you there though?" I said. "I--well, we were pretty quiet back then and didn't have many friends. But I swear I've seen you before. I feel like I did..." she pondered for a while. She then started to share a few stories of her memories at our elementary school, she said that she had a really quiet playmate who declined her every time she asked them to join her wall climbing. They wouldn't climb with her but would wait for her to go down and stay with her until her mom picked her up. She also mentioned that her friend would only respond in short sentences and that she felt bad 'cause they were probably just absorbing everything she was saying. "If you kept your mouth shut once in a while, maybe your childhood friend could've responded better," Wonwoo butted in. I couldn't help but laugh at his snide remark. "Excuse me? Unlike you, my childhood friend is actually nice enough to be my constant playmate until we had to transfer schools," she said boastfully. She continued to tell me how transferring schools made it better for her and Wonwoo since they were finally acknowledged as siblings, and not as a couple. I took it as an opportunity to finally ask, "Oh, so you guys aren't--" and before I could finish my sentence, both of them aggressively denied the common question they always get.

"Just to be clear, we aren't siblings as well," he says. "Yeah, our mothers are like twins from different mothers. Inseparable. Unlike me and this idiot," she says. "When Jen's dad left her at an early age, my mom offered her and her mom to stay with us for as long as they needed. And they never left," he says.

"I honestly don't mind living with them. I love his mom. She always tells me that I'm like the daughter she never had. And she's happy that her son doesn't feel lonely," she adds. She was smiling from ear to ear as she proudly said that. "I don't mind being lonely if I can finally get some peace in my life," he teasingly says. "Oh please, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be able to get yourself your little girlfriend," she says as she rolls her eyes and turns to look in my direction. I didn't expect her to continue what she was saying, but she looks back at Wonwoo who's been death-glaring her for quite some time. "...ex-girlfriend, I mean," she says while looking at me. I nodded in response. His past relationships could never bother me since it's honestly none of my business. Even if he did have a girlfriend at this present time, I wouldn't mind it at all. I would've set my boundaries if I had learned about it now. When was fate ever on my side anyway? It wasn't too long when Jen asked me if I was getting tired, because she was. I laughed at that and told her that it was getting pretty late. I glanced at my phone to check the time. 9:30PM. I didn't notice my mom sent me a message asking if I was having dinner at home. I immediately responded and told her that she didn't have to worry about me and that I could eat by myself when I get home.

"I can wait. I just got home anyway. Take care, sweetie!"

"I'll go ahead, guys. You guys take care going home, my mom's waiting for me to get home," I tell them. I stood up and gave them a small wave of goodbye. I was about to get my things but Wonwoo stood up and got a hold of it. I looked at him and gave him a confused look, he was looking at Jen who was also getting ready to leave. "Wait, you guys can stay here as long as you want. I just really need to get home so..." I tell them, but they were already putting their things away. Jen told Wonwoo to go ahead of us and pay for the parking. Wonwoo responded that we should wait for him downstairs in the lobby. I was so baffled that I didn't even notice Jen was already holding my bag. "Here, I'll take that," I say as I motion towards my bag, "No, no. If I give you your bag, you might run away and not come with us. We'll take you home, okay?" she says. She locked her free arm on my arm and we went to the lobby to wait for Wonwoo. "Thank you," I tell her. She looks at me and smiles. I just can't help but notice how pretty her smile is. "Don't thank me yet, you might find me annoying once we start hanging out," she says. "Hang out?" I ask, "Yeah. I have a feeling that this isn't the last time we'll see each other. In fact, I think I'll see you more often than I should," she giggles as she says this. She might be assuming that Wonwoo and I are getting too close. Technically, she's not wrong but she's not entirely right too. Wonwoo arrives shortly after that. Jen insists on sitting in the back. I protest, but she immediately blocks the rear door and opens the front door. We push each other playfully until Jen hurriedly opens the back door, jumps inside, and locks it. Left with no choice, I take the passenger seat up front. I stole a quick glance at Wonwoo as I was getting in the car, he was looking straight ahead.

The ride home was pretty quiet. Jen fell asleep in the back seat, while Wonwoo seemed stern but relaxed. It felt like he was taking his time driving, he gently took turns and his pace was slower than usual. There's music playing on the radio but the volume is lowered. I tried my best to not look tense, but I couldn't rest my head properly without checking on him from time to time. We got to their place first, he woke Jen up and told her to tell his mom that he'll be dropping me off. Jen nodded and said goodbye to the both of us. I didn't realize that I was staring at him the whole time until we made eye contact before driving off. "Hmm?" he widened his eyes, waiting for me to speak. His hand was placed on the headrest of my seat. "Nothing. You okay?" I ask, genuinely concerned since I haven't seen him be this quiet. "Yeah," he gives a small reassuring smile. I gave him the same response and we drove off. We arrived at my house in no time, I could see my mom outside by the patio waiting for me. She didn't see the car parked outside though, she was busy reading her paperwork. I took my seatbelt off and looked at Wonwoo. He was looking at the flowering trees in front of our gate and the semi-empty street, he still had his hands on the steering wheel. Our street is not fairly dark but the moon had perfectly touched his face. He leaned back in his seat, all of the light touching his face had faded but I could still see him clearly. My eyes adjusted quickly 'cause it was him. I let out a quiet sigh as I looked away from him. I had my face down, contemplating if I should ask him again if he was really okay. "You know..." he breaks the silence, "...I like how peaceful it is here on your street." "Hmm?" I ask, he caught me off guard. "It's pretty peaceful here. It must feel warm in the morning, hmm?" he says as he faces me.

"Yeah, I guess so. Our neighbors are welcoming, we greet each other whenever we see each other. Actually, my favorite thing about this street is the bakery at the end of this street. Our neighbors will let us know if they're heading down to the bakery in the morning and include us in their orders," I smile at the thought of my neighbors' warm smiles. I can already smell the freshly baked bread they always get for us. "Pretty..." he whispers softly I was spacing out when he whispered something in response. I made eye contact with him and gave him a confused look. "That's pretty nice. That's nice," I guess he noticed that he mumbled something out loud. I chuckled, there's an awkward atmosphere as we tried to keep the conversation going. "I should probably go down now," I can never say a firm goodbye every time we part ways. "Yeah, of course, sorry I'll just..." he unlocks the door and gets out of the car. He goes around to where I was standing.

I had my arms crossed, I don't know why he got out of the car and stood in front of me. "I'll wait for you to get inside," he smiles at me, awkwardly gesturing that I should get inside already. I smiled at him and nodded, I was about to open our front gate but decided to glance back at him. He was leaning on his car, still waiting for me to take a step inside our house. The gate suddenly opened, my mom had her hand on her hip. I was staggered, I didn't expect her to still be outside waiting for me. She only looked at me for a second and started looking around, as if she was looking for someone other than her daughter. Of course, she finds Wonwoo standing outside. He jumps up and fixes his stance. He bowed a little to politely acknowledge my mom's sudden presence.

"Good evening, Ma'am," he stood still with his hands clasped together, a soft smile plastered across his face. I found all of it hilarious so I turned away from my mom and Wonwoo. "Well, aren't you going to introduce your friend over there?" she lightly slaps my arm. "I was going to!" and I was really going to but she caught all of us off guard. "Mom, this is Wonwoo. He's the director of our film project in one of my classes," I signaled him to come closer, which he did abruptly. "Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you, Ma'am," Wonwoo shakes her hand with a small, polite bow again. "It's nice to meet you too," she looks at him but quickly shifts her gaze toward me. She had a doubtful yet mischievous expression, which I can't stand 'cause I know this will be our topic of discussion for this week...or maybe even months long. "We're just about to have our late dinner, I was hoping maybe you could join us?" she wasn't gonna take a 'no' for an answer. I could feel my hands start to get cold, I had no idea what she had in store for him if he accepted her invitation. "I-uhm...I'd be happy to join you if it's alright?" he asks facing me. He was waiting for me to acknowledge the invitation too. "Sure," I tell the both of them. I feel like I swallowed a huge lump in my throat, I can feel myself breathless from the situation I'm in right now. Nonetheless, I forced a smile while cold sweat ran down my back. We went inside right after. As I was about to enter our home, Wonwoo got a hold of my arm as he stood by our door frame waiting for my mom and I to enter first. I turned to him and he stared straight into my eyes, I thought he was nervous about having dinner with us. "Are you sure about this?" he asks. "Why? Are you not comfortable with this?" I ask in return "No, I just want to make sure you're prepared to see me visit here more often after this," he smiles at the idea of what he just said. I couldn't help but snort and cross my arms from his response. I'm honestly in disbelief. He moves his hand from my arm to my back, "Ladies first."

Earth Angel, Heavenly Boy Part 3

Pairing: Angel!Elvis & OC!black!female

Summary: After a nearly fatal car accident, a mysterious man saved the life of a young woman who believes the young man is more than what he seems.

Word Count:???

Warnings: Slowburn, talks about God, Biblical stuff like angels, demons, the devil, spirituality, and realism.

Author's Notes: Welcome to Part Three. Bring a little religion in here. I hope that's okay. I'm an open Christian, meaning I gladly speak on God. Elvis was an open Christian, which I find sexy as all get out. As beautiful as he was, he could have been a narcissist, vain, boastful, arrogant, exectra. But he was humble. There's nothing more sexy than a humble man. At least, in my opinion. 😊😊😊

・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・🪽・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・

Noel was silent on the drive home. She contemplates her life, and all she can do is remain quiet.

"Nole?" Trish asks. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah."

"What do you want to eat?"

Noel turns to look at Trish and says, "Everything that I've denied for the last two years of this diet. I want burgers and fries and hot dogs and fried chicken and cake and brownies! I've only lost his forty pounds, and I work myself to the bone to make ends meet! I want to go to Italy and eat pizza and pasta and gelato. I wanna drink wine and rum and vodka!"

"Nole! Take a breath!" Trish says.

Noel takes a breath, and the flood gates open. Everything she's holding in comes out all at once. Having a death experience puts a lot in perspective for a woman who had very little.

"Nole, breathe. Take a deep breath and breathe," Trish says. "It's late, but I'll get you something good to eat."

It's fifteen minutes after one in the morning. Trish was able to find an old Mom and Pop restaurant open late. They order up chicken alfredo, spaghetti with meatballs, salad with the fixings, and a large pizza with a bottle of red wine.

By the time they get to her house, Noel and Trish unpack the car and head into Noel's apartment. Noel is thrilled to be home after a long, exhausting day. She's been faithful to her diet, but she needs a cheat day.

They set up her dining table with on the food, grab some plates, and wine glasses. The next thing Noel does is pour herself a glass of wine. Then Noel and Trish begin to indulge quietly in their dinner. Noel eats her dinner like it's going to disappear before she's done.

"Nole, slow down," Trish says.

"Sorry," Noel says, a mouth full of pizza. "I missed this type of cuisine."

Noel sips her wine and thinks about Dr. Elvis Carpenter. What he said about calling him. She was going to need someone to speak to about her issues. She held her glass to her lips.

"Penny for your thoughts, Nole?" Trish says. "I know this is a dumb question to ask, but are you okay?"

"Trish, did you know that the guy who hit me was in the ICU?"

"No, I didn't."

"I kept hearing them say that I shouldn't have survived the crash. I should be dead. They questioned how I'm still here... I know I should be dead. I was dead, Trish." Noel takes another sip from her glass.

"I'm sure you were just terrified, Trish."

"You said you saw my car? How bad was it? Honestly."

Trish looks her in the eyes but remains silent. She can't look in Noel's eyes for long, knowing the truth.

"Your silence speaks volumes."

"Nole... your car was totaled. It flipped over several times, it seemed. All the windows were shattered. There was blood on the driver's side, and a part of the driver's seat was crushed." Trish pauses at the mere thought of it all.

"Physically, you shouldn't be here drinking wine with me. It's theoretically impossible! But here you are without anything close to a scratch on you. Nole, you know I'm not really into the Christian stuff because I'm a realist, but the best word to describe this situation is..."

"Miracle," Noel whispers.

Trish tears up at the word.

"Yeah, Nole. It's a miracle that you're still here. I thought I lost my best friend."

Noel puts down her glass, stretching her arm across the small table to Trish. Trish takes her hand gratefully. A forever bond could have been broken tonight. Some bonds are stronger than others. It's a funny thing how one life can touch so many other lives.

"I love you, Nole."

"I love you too, Trish," Noel says. "I'm not planning on going anywhere for a while. I believe God wants me here just a bit longer."

"Maybe I'll go to church with you on Sunday," Trish said.

"You know, I've been doing bedside Baptist for a while. But I will go back. I think my guardian angel wants me to."

"Guardian angel?"

"Yes. I believe I was saved by an angel. As I woke up, I saw a pair of blue eyes... I believe. Then I fell asleep again."

"You shouldn't go to work tomorrow, Nole," Trish says. "You really need a break."

"I know. I wish I got a doctor's note," Noel said, putting her hand into her scrub pocket.

She feels around for a moment and realizes there's paper in her pocket. She remembered Dr. Carpenter gave her his card, but she didn't recall him giving her a doctor's excuse from work.

"Whoa..."

"Is that a doctor's note?" Trish asks.

"I believe it is. Now, all I have to do is text my boss about what happened."

"Was it that sexy doctor I saw with you?"

Noel cuts her eyes at Trish. Of course, she recognized that Elvis was gorgeous. It was undeniable, but he was out of her league.

"I believe it was Dr. Carpenter. It's his signature," Noel said.

"Dr. Carpenter? Did he give you his first name?"

"Yeah. It's Elvis, but I don't have time."

"If the accident has proven anything tonight, it's we don't have all the time in the world, Nole! Did he give you his number?" She asks Noel.

"Yes, on the professional basis that he analyzes me and sees that I'm okay. Not that way, Trish."

Noel had other things on her mind. She had this sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. She didn't want to lie to her boss, but she felt the boss wouldn't be understanding at the situation. It would be one thing if she was in the hospital banged up from the accident. But she came out untouched. Her car is totaled, and she needs to make plans for a loaner vehicle to get from place to place. But if she feels great, she should go to work. She'll worry about it in the morning. Not now.

"Do you need company?" Trish asks.

"I'm fine. You go home. Thank you for bringing me home and picking up dinner. I appreciate it more than you know, Trish."

"You're my best friend. If you need it, you got it. I know you're proud, but I'm here for you. Plus, you had a rough day."

"Yeah."

Noel and Trish kiss each other's cheeks and hug before Trish heads out on her way home. Noel tells her to drive safely and locks the door behind her.

Noel takes this time to clean up the table and put her leftovers in the fridge. Trish bought her enough food to last her the rest of the week. She was grateful for that. She finishes up her glass of wine and gets ready to shower.

When she sits in bed, Noel's mind is still running wild for the evening's events. She doesn't know how to slow her thoughts down. She gets herself a bottle of water and brings it back to her room. She takes a sip, turns out the light, and gets into the bed, resting her body. She closes her eyes and tries to sleep.

ROTTMNT Michelangelo x My Female OC - CHAPTER 1 : THE MEETING

The story takes place after Krang's defeat. All characters are adults.

Warning : none, except english errors (sorry for that !) and little argument bteween Raph and Leo ; Raphael is super protective and Mikey is too girly for OC ; Favorite villain here ! Hope you will like it !

A nice summer day for a solo journey. Michelangelo was peacefully eating an icecream when his phone rings :

“Chello~?” He says with a playfull smirk.

“Mikey ? Where are you ?” Asks Raphael “You said you will not be long and it's been two hours ! Everything's okay, buddy ?”

“I'm fine, Raph. I finish eating my icecream and…”

“Icecream ?!” Repeat Leonardo, offended “Did I heard correctly ? It's hot as hell down here and you dare to eat an icecream without us ? High treason ! I can't believe my own little brother would do such a thing to me !”

“Okay Leo, we get it !” Stoppes Raphael who takes back the phone “Mikey, go buy us icecreams and come back home.”

“Yes sir~...”

He hangs up.

Oh, he wishes to stay here a few others hours. Besides, the sun is setting like a nice cherry on the cake. Can't he stay and watch ? The young turtle looks around and smiles : oh yes, he can. And what better spot than a skyscaper ? His brothers will wait a little more.

With his manriki gusari, he reached a high dish to see the whole show.

He opens his arms and welcomes the lasts shafts of sunlight. The sky becomes a beautiful mix of orange and pink. What a sight ! Pure bliss !

The sun disapears, his arms fells down. Michelangelo was about to leave when someone appears from nowhere. He didn't pay attention before but he was on a rooftop. And a luxury one in fact ! Big swimming pool, home garden, a good set of garden furniture.

Michelangelo hides in the shadows, observing the human under him. Well, he trought it was a human until he sees a big snake tail ! A yokai ? Michelangelo isn't rassured, surely because he's a turtle. Time to go, he thinks.

But a noice betrays him and immediately the yokai attacks him !

In one second, it's pulling him into its coils and starting a constriction. Michelangelo is trapped, unable to move one finger. The giant snake opens wide its jaw, hissing agressively and showing its huge fangs.

Michelangelo tries to escape, to catch his weapon, in vain. His body hurts, he feels his flow blood slowy stopping and the air missing his lungs.

All of a sudden, a big white dog, a pyrenean mountain dog precisely, arrives and bounces happily between them.

The yokai releases Michelangelo who fells on the ground. Quickly he catches his breath, before the dog comes to lick his face cheerfully.

“Are you okay ?” He hears next to him.

When he opens his eyes, he came face to face with a beautiful girl with long, very long, wavy blond hair and pretty blue eyes surrounded by numerous topaz like a light mask.

Her angel face makes Michelangelo out of breath again.

“I apologize for attacking you.” She says with a light voice “I trought you were after me.”

Michelangelo couldn't answer, eyes and moutg wide open, until the dog licks him again and wakes him up :

“No problem !” He says with an awkward smile “I shouldn't come in your rooftop without permission !”

“Come here, Fable.”

The big dog sits near its mistress. Michelangelo notices the low part of the girl's body is still in snake form. A big white snake. But instead scales, there is fuzz. He was so scared that he didn't even notice it when he was trapped in her coils. Now he couldn't believe that the beautiful girl in front of him was a terrifying beast who tried to eat him a few minutes ago.

“What's your name ?” She asks.

“M-Mikey.”

Michelangelo is surprised to stutter whereas he's normally in ease with people.

“Mine is Eva. Nice to meet you, Mikey.” She shakes warmly his hand “Would you like to stay with me a little more ? I usually don't have much visit.”

Obviously, if you attack them !, thinks Michelangelo.

She invites him to sit on sun chairs.

They start to discuss, the dog laying next to their foot. Eva likes to sing and dance, and skateboard like Michelangelo, and follows amateur artits on social medias. The turtle shows her some artists he follows too and then his own art. His ego growing as Eva compliments him with admiration.

They finally relax and open to each other. Eva lives with her father, an important manager, but she's alone most of time because of his job. She had friends before but they left because of her lifestyle and her father's stern attitude. Michelangelo feels much sympathy for the poor girl.

With the flow of the discussion,they leave the sun chairs and walk around the swimming pool, and then sit on the sill, foot on the water, to watch videos on Michelangelo's phone.

Suddenly the phone rings : Raphael ! Michelangelo didn't realize what time it was :

“He's going to kill me for sure.”

“I'm so sorry. I would never ask you to stay if I had known it causes you troubles.”

“You're kidding, right ? I liked talking with you, it was fun ! I will come again.”

“Really ? Thank you !”

She was so happy that she hugs him. Michelangelo doesn't know where he should put his hands ; it wasn't so hard with April, so why now ?! The feeling was so different… And Eva smells like vanilla…

“What the hell is happening here ?!” Roars a strong voice behind them.

A huge and furious man with white slicked hairs approaches them.

“Father !” Calls Eva.

“Father ?” Repeats Michelangelo, surprised to see a human.

The man turns his cufflink and a bright light is wraping him up and revealing his true appareance.

Michelangelo shudders : Bruce, the leader of the Masters of Barbarianism !

He was already upset to see his daughter with a stranger, he's raging when he recognizes Michelangelo, the bold one who humiliated him at Hueso's restaurant !

“How dare you showing your bastard toadface in my house ?!” The dragon fumes.

“Father, please calm down !” Begs Eva, who has no clue about what happened between these two “Everything is okay, Mikey is my friend…”

“Your friend, this coward in the pay of the Makers of Brutality ?! I told you I didn't want to see you with a boy until you're fifty, he certainly won't be the exception !”

“A boy ? Mikey isn't a boy…”

Silence. Eva looks at Michelangelo who couldn't believe what he just hears :

“Did you think I was a girl ?!”

“Well… Yes, I did.”

“But WHY ?!”

“I don't know ! Maybe your voice… It's kind of acute… And my dog doesn't like boys normally.”

They were both so embarrassed that they didn't look at each other anymore. Eva's is bright red behind her hands when she whispers :

“Oh no, I hugged a boy…”

Bruce sees red : he thought the dumbass turtle brings dishonour on his precious daughter ! Flames are coming out his nostrils, he takes his katana and jumps right on Michelangelo ! The turtle escapes in time and flies far away from the rooftop, hearing Bruce's screams of rage.

If he managed to escape from Bruce, he doesn't even try with Raphael.

The red turtle was way too much worried to let his little brother explains why he's running late.

Fortunatly Leonardo comes to complain about the missing icecreams, giving Michelangelo the chance to tell the whole story to his brothers.

The moment he told them about Eva, he caughted immediatly their attention : the fact that Eva is the daughter of a crime-gang's boss worried Raphael, while Donatello et Leonardo were intrigued by “angel face” and “pretty girl” terms Michelangelo used to describe her, with this nice kind of sparks in his eyes and this dumb grin on his face. Oh man, that was a very interessing reaction.

But as intrigued as they were, they are all rolling with laughter when Michelangelo said Eva mistaked him with a girl !

“That's not funny !” Grumbles the young turtle “I'm not girly !”

“Forget it.” Says Raphal as he patted his shoulder “It's not like you will see her again !”

Michelangelo avoided his gaze, Raphael frowned :

“You don't attend to see her again, don't you ?”

“Well…”

“Mikey, she's a mafia guy's daughter !”

“So what ? She's my friend ! It's not her fault that his dad is a villain !”

“You put yourself in danger with her !”

“I agree with Raph.” Says Donatello “You should forget her, she doesn't deserve a friend like you.”

“Oh, that's so ?! What exactly do you know about her ?!”

His anger surprised his brothers.

Michelangelo releases himself from Raphael's grip and goes straight to his room.

Leonardo stoppes Raphael to follow him :

“I got this, trust me.”

Even if he's letting Leonardo go, Raphael isn't rassured.

The blue turtle gets his head in his little brother's room. Now he's reading comics in his hammock, turning his back to the door.

“Hey little bro. May I come in ?”

Michelangelo mutters something, Leonardo takes it as a yes and sits next to him, smirking :

“She's that pretty ?”

“Yes. And she's alone. Instead her father, I was the first person to talk with her since a long time. It's so sad.”

“Oh, I see~... Rapunzel in her ivory tower.”

The blunt sound of the comic on Michelangelo's legs mades Leonardo jump.

“See ?! You're judging without knowing her !”

“Hey, calm down, little brother. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mocking her. You really care about her, right ?”

Michelangelo blushes a little. Of course he cares about her.

“It's just… She's a nice girl, you know. She doesn't deserve to be alone like that. If I don't go back to her, I feel like I'm betraying her.”

“So you don't have a choice : you have to see her again.”

Michelangelo thought he was mishearing. But Leonardo has a knowing smile :

“Go back to her, idiot.”

Michelangelo jumps into his brother's arms, so happy :

“Thank you ! Thank you ! I love you, Leo !”

“Yeah, yeah.” Smiles the blue one “Try to come back in one piece, though.”

A few minutes later, when Leonardo leaves the room, Raphael was waiting for him, much less pleased than his blue brother.

“That's how you got this ?” He growls.

“What ? He's in a good mood again !”

“But he doesn't change his mind !”

“You can't change his mind, Raph.”

“So tell me why you even talked to him ?! You gave him your permission where I put my prohibition !”

“Mikey is not a kid anymore, he doesn't need permission, mine or yours. He would have gone back to this girl anyway. I just made sure he will not act out of anger. Now he will be careful. Trust him a little.”

The Curse of Oenone (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)

A/N: THEM -Danny Words: 1,956 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter // Next Chapter Listen to: 'If It Wasn't (For You)' -by Jacob Noah

XXIX: Emotionally Repressed by Day, Socially Inept by Night

Leo makes a beeline to the control panels and sets the Archimedes sphere back in place. Ara hangs her Octopi over one shoulder and makes her way to the stairs, but then she spots Nico.

He's usually at the top mast or in Hazel's room until it's time for bed and he leaves to... wherever he sleeps. But he's leaning against the stern's handrail today, looking right at her. Ara lets out a heavy sigh, he wants to talk to her, and it won't be fun. 

"What?" She asks.

Nico eyes her before replying. "You got your stuff back?"

Ara leans on the railing and stares at the sea. "You ate?"

"Yeah, the birthday cake they made for you," he replies sarcastically. "I thought you'd died so I didn't want to waste it."

Ara lowers her gaze. "Did you tell them?"

Nico snorts. "I thought you would've told them all about you by now, that's how it always is with you."

She makes a face. "Some of it, not all. But Leo knows it all. He was always asking for stories and Jason had no memories, so I had to give him context."

Nico looks at her with a sarcastic smirk she's grown to loathe. "Bet it felt good to be someone's hero at last."

"Can we not do this today?" Ara groans. "Tomorrow we can do the whole thing all over but... it's the worst birthday of my life, man. I'm already going through it. Can't you enjoy in silence?"

That seems to bother Nico. "I take no pleasure in seeing you suffer, Ara. It annoys me that you try so hard to be something you're not."

"What are you talking about?"

"You can be who you are unapologetically and for some reason, you prefer to walk around in that stupid cloak, completely unlike you, and it makes you miserable—"

"The cloak gives me purpose—"

"Nemesis talked to you, right? Hazel said you never told them who you saw, so who was it?"

She hates having to look up when talking to Nico, he's a year younger than her and yet he could get half the things she's gained way easier. He could be happy, and he could've been the friend Lily needed when Ara failed her. Now both of them left their friend alone, standing on the remains of their broken promises.

"That is none of your business," she says tensely.

Nico's gaze is unwavering. "I talked to Achilles before taking Percy, and what he said—"

"Let me guess," Ara tilts her head, an ironic smile on her lips. "Something about ambition being our worst enemy or whatever? You're too late, Hercules already warned me about it."

The boy frowns. "I can't believe you chose to follow their path. Every win they got sent innocent people to their early graves."

Ara's heart stings at his comment. "Don't talk about them like that."

"I'm talking about you, you should know better," he glares at her. "You saw Percy take risks for nothing, you saw Mike die thanks to it. Beckendorf, and Bianca—" He cuts his speech short, turning away, then clears his throat forcefully. "You and Lily treat your birthdays like they don't matter, and all I can think is... she can't even have that."

He lets out a dry laugh and shakes his head.

"'Course—she joined the hunters before dying, so she would still be twelve years old no matter what." Nico runs a hand over his face and squeezes his eyes shut. "She wasn't allowed to grow old, but you are, and don't want to."

It would be easier to stab his soft spots until he shows his fangs again, but she can't bring herself to do it. Ara's lost her brother, Annabeth, and Leo is next. She's tired of the fights.

Ara moves slowly to make sure he knows what she's doing, giving him the chance to step back. He doesn't. The boy takes a shaky breath, keeps his eyes closed, and lets Ara absorb some of his hurt. As soon as she does, her heart squeezes in a way that takes the air out of her lungs, she tries to talk, but her throat is tight with grief. 

Nico relaxes only enough to keep talking. "I know it sounds... cruel... but I'm glad she's not with them. I prefer missing her than resenting her my entire life."

"I regret not convincing her to stay," Ara admits hoarsely. "We were the same age, but Bianca was braver. If I'd taken my lessons seriously since the start, I could've shown her what camp could offer us..."

"Us?" He opens his reddened eyes, still scowling at her.

"Orphan kids." She looks down in shame. "I wasn't a hero, Nico, you're right. I chose what was best for me. I'm sorry." 

It's the first time she apologizes to Nico. It might be the grief she's absorbed, but Ara couldn't phantom the extent of Nico's pain until now, it feels just like when she lost Mike. She never showed regret, if anything, she'd made it clear that she thought nothing of Bianca. Now her words are coming out like they had been lying there for ages, rotting her core.

The way Nico reacted when Percy told him about Bianca, now that he and Annabeth are in Tartarus, she understands it. He's the only person on this ship who shares her anger and doesn't treat it like a scary thing.

The girl cleans her nose with the back of her sleeve. "I shouldn't say it now that I have their blessing, but I hated them for a while too. When Jason came and Thalia found him I realized it was you and Bianca all over again. My fate is to watch everything fall apart."

Nico stares at her, sighs tiredly, and dries her tears, his knuckles are cold against her skin but surprisingly gentle, which makes her feel even guiltier for all the times that she's punched his face. For the first time, he looks worried for her.

"It's okay if you don't want cake," he says. "But you should eat. The Kerkopes handed your ass to you."

Ara sniffs again. "I'm taking this conversation as you wishing me a happy birthday, so I'll say 'What the Tartarus you mean by 'happy', you jerk? Read the room', then I'll walk away and you can insult me and we can pretend this didn't happen."

"Tu sei sciocca."

Someone clears their throat in front of them and Ara looks back, spotting Leo. He's looking at them weirdly. Ara realizes she's holding Nico's hand. "You had issues putting the sphere back in place?" She asks, letting go of the boy.

Leo glances at Nico before replying.  "Came to ask if we should hold a meeting now or wait until tomorrow."

It's not like she's enjoying her birthday, but she's not in the mood to hold a second meeting today. "Let's call it a day. I'm tired."

Leo nods, unable to shrug off the jealousy. "Yeah, I'm tired too."

Nico walks past them. "I'll take the night watch."

"Thank you," Ara says kindly. Her boyfriend frowns at their behavior but says nothing.

Leo comes to her cabin before sundown, and Ara makes room for him to sit. The boy enters reluctantly, like he'd rather be somewhere else.

"What you saw," she starts right away. "It's nothing."

Leo pulls out screws and wires from his belt and braids them to avoid her eyes. "Looked like something..."

"I can explain it," Ara pouts.

"Forget it," When he smiles it looks genuine, but the girl knows it's not real. "Came to give you a present."

"Oh?" She blinks. "You didn't have to..."

"You thought I'd let the day pass by?" The boy raises a brow. "I'm better than that!"

"Well, it was a busy day," Ara chuckles. "What is it?"

"I'm new to this whole getting-presents-for-my-girlfriend thing, and you're not easy—you don't have hobbies outside pretending to watch movies with me," he teases her.

The girl tilts her head with amusement. "So?"

"So... I'm a mechanic and an inventor. I could build you the weapon of your dreams," he makes a face. "Then I realized Almighty is pretty much it—I was going through my options and it wasn't looking great..." Leo rambles.

"I don't care for presents," she admits. "I spend all my birthdays in camp, so it's more like a day to do whatever I want—"

"I know," he interrupts her. "I know you're all about practicality and utility."

He pulls an item out of his tool belt: a black hair tie. It's decorated with a bronze dove, the wings spread open like it's either taking flight or landing. Leo holds her hand and places it around her wrist.

"Then I thought, Ara is always losing her scrunchies, her hair is always on her face while we're fixing stuff—and I know it drives you crazy. So I made you this."

He presses on the dove's breast and moves back when it expands, creating a large shield with an Omega engraved at the front. Ara turns her arm to examine it, her mouth falling open. "What!"

"Hercules and Achilles had stuff made for them. You needed a shield," he says, fidgeting with scraps from his belt as he waits for a full reaction. "I know your compass turns into a shield but if you needed to also use it as a sword you'd be... though you aren't helpless and also have Lily's dagger but..."

While Leo rambles, Ara turns her arm and spots a bronze buckle on the leather strap. She snaps it open and the shield goes back to being a hair tie. The girl throws her arms around his neck. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Leo stops talking and laughs, vividly glowing. It's like the setting sun is shining directly on him through the porthole window. His arms wrap around her waist. "Don't mention it."

Ara cups his face, a bunch of annoying butterflies making her mind fuzzy. "It must've taken you ages, I don't know what to say..."

He smirks. "Took me like a month, it wasn't that hard—but if you insist I wouldn't mind a few kisses if you're that grateful."

Ara kisses his face and neck effusively, making him giggle like a little kid, then she finds his lips and Leo makes a vastly different noise at the contact. This day doesn't seem so bad now.

"Y'know..." he mumbles in between kisses. "If you really feel like thanking me, you can give me my present in advance?" He pulls her close, and Ara blushes down to her neck. 

"What?" She squeaks.

Leo laughs. "I'm just messing with you."

"Don't joke like that!" She tries to escape his grip.

The boy grabs her chin and gives her another kiss, falling back with her on top. "Sorry, doll. Can't help it! I love how flustered you get."

Ara leans down and gives him a butterfly kiss, making him squirm a little bit. He's always been a big fan of small affectionate gestures, of any affectionate gesture, as long as it's Ara doing it. She pushes herself up and smiles. "También te amo. Now get out of my cabin."

Leo's eyes brighten. "No! Let me—let me hear you say that again!" He begs while Ara gets to the door. "Sunshine, let me stay over! It's your birthday!"

"Yeah, exactly. I want to sleep alone. Your birthday is in two days, if you want to sleep with me then, I'll comply."

Leo looks at her with a huge smile. "For real?"

"Well, I'm learning Spanish, which must mean I don't joke about commitment," Ara gestures at the exit again. "Now leave me alone."

"You're so rude," Leo says, though he sounds delighted. "I'll respect your autonomy today, but on my birthday, I'll have none of that. Be ready to have a Leo Valdez all over you on the 7th!"

The boy kisses her cheek effusively when he walks past, and Ara leans into it laughing. "The warning should go to the rest of our poor crew, not me."

"I don't love them enough to warn them."

[sunflowerwilds]

my friend silver did it (months ago at this point) and i'm such a sucker for talking non-stop about my ocs so here's all the oc emoji ask questions with my beloved hone,,,,,

people 👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical…)? ▸soft blue with purple sectoral heterochromia in both eyes! no one really notices since heterochromia isn't uncommon in the sun's reach. 🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they’re lying? ▸nah he's a terrible liar. people see right through him. his most common lie is trying to say he's alright when in severe physical pain because he doesn't want to worry anyone...no one buys it.

👻 GHOST - do they believe in ghosts? what are their “ghostly experiences”, if any? ▸the afterlife canonically does not exist in ASHES, so neither do ghosts. that said, hone likes to believe that his parents are with him in spirit, even though he knows that can't possibly be true.

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with? ▸overwhelmingly grief. he has a really hard time coping with loss since he has never really been given the time to grieve. he also struggles with loneliness and the fear of losing himself.

😭 CRYING - what makes them cry? do they cry easily? ▸experiencing any strong emotions, when he gets lost in thought, reminiscing about the past, etc etc. i wouldn't say he cries easily, but he is prone to it- he's not the kind of guy to hold it in.

👊 PUNCH - are they quick to violence? ▸absolutely not. he will only draw his sword(s) as a last resort and even then he'd do his best to not injure his opponent if he can help it. he will do everything in his power to avoid conflict.

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to? ▸when he gets lost in his head it's hard to get through to him since he has to come to by himself. he's also incredibly stubborn/steadfast in his beliefs and that gets particularly on mug's nerves. he has a bad habit of downplaying the intensity of pain he's in.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings? ▸hone has his mom and dad! he's an only child. his parents would do anything in the world for him and he loves them to no end. he also has his extended family on his mother's side, those of which he gets along with to varying degrees.

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into “flight” or “fight”? ▸definitely fight, but more so in the sense that he'd stand his ground. would 100% put himself in harms way to protect someone he cares about.

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep? ▸yes. aside from his four year coma, hone can and does fall asleep anywhere with relative ease. once he's out, he's out. the further into the plot the more frequently he sleeps because as things progress, he becomes more physically tired all the time.

-=-=-=-=-=-=- food & drinks 🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast? ▸he's doesn't really eat breakfast, but anything home-cooked by a family member he'd consider comforting! if i had to pick something though, i'd say some kind of breakfast meat and eggs.

🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it? ▸dec 30th! as a kid/teen he used to really like it because he could be surrounded by family and friends- he hasn't gotten the chance to celebrate one as an adult yet since he was asleep for four years. 🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat? ▸any kind of cobbler or crumble!

🍟 FRIES - do they order food often? or they prefer to cook their own food? ▸nowadays he buys inexpensive things for the road that can be kept for long term such as salted meats and dried fruits. he does know a few basic things he learned from his mom growing up and he'd like to learn more one day if he gets the chance to settle down.

☕️ HOT BEVERAGE - do they prefer hot or cold drinks? what is their favourite drink? ▸hot drinks! his favourite was a floral tea his parents gave him whenever he had one of his 'attacks' growing up. bonus: hone's such a lightweight and can't hold his alcohol, but he likes small sips of fruity cocktails.

🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable? ▸both! doesn't prefer one over the other as he's not picky. favourite fruit: persimmons or peaches; favourite vegetable: beetroot or fennel

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes? ▸probably just vanilla with buttercream. again, he's not picky about food!

🍧 SHAVED ICE - do they still have any objects from their childhood? what significance does it have to them? what would their reaction be if they lost it? ▸unfortunately no :( the closest thing would be his father's old order badge as it's the only keepsake he has to remember his parents by. he would be bummed if he lost it, but considering his reluctant willingness to part with it early in the plot means it wouldn't be the end of the world for him. luckily he was able to keep it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-

plants & nature 💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite? ▸poppies-- consolation, remembrance, death; hyssop-- protection, health, sacrifice; and gladiolus-- moral integrity and strength of character ehehehe. poppies are his favourite.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it? ▸this is hard to answer because it goes into spoiler territory regarding his character arc so i will refrain for now, but know that this wish is something he is willing to die for.

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion? ▸he's definitely slow to anger. it takes a lot and the right trigger to make hone upset, and even then his temper is pretty mellow.

🌺 HIBISCUS - do they have any allergies? ▸nope!

🍁 MAPLE LEAF - what is their favourite season? why? ▸fall! it's the perfect time for hearty food likes stews (his favourite food is rabbit stew), the temperature is perfect and the colors of the leaves remind him of his boyfriend <3

🍃 FALLING LEAF - do they enjoy being in nature? what is their favourite outdoor activity? ▸yes! hone spends more time outside than inside mostly due to circumstance. his favourite activity is horseback riding; either free riding or being out on a trail, he just enjoys being with horses.

☀️ SUN - are they a morning person? what is the first thing they do in the morning? ▸entirely depends. his status as a morning person or not completely varies on how much sleep he gets.

🕷️ SPIDER - what is their biggest fear? do they have any irrational / mundane fears? ▸death and the loss of one's self. he's also afraid of his own body failing him at the worst possible time.

🌹 ROSE - do they like valentines day? have they been confessed to before? have they confessed to anyone before? ▸sort of. he doesn't like that it focuses too much on romantic love and believes other types of loves should be recognized too. but on the other hand, he's 100% the one to have confessed his feelings to sylvan first... except they've never been able to spend this day together for reasons...

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don’t want to show other people? ▸he wants to ignite hope in others but is having a hard time coping with his physical exhaustion and fatigue. he doesn't want people to see him in this perpetual state of decline.

🙊 SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about? ▸he will not stand for anyone speaking ill of his father and will defend his him. he's also not a fan of diurne or his dogma and holds many reservations about the clergy's actions to follow through with it.

🙉 HEAR-NO-EVIL - what is the worse thing your oc could hear from someone? ▸anyone trying to use his parents or their deaths as a means of insulting or taunting him; in addition, he does not take kindly to those who joke about or take death lightly.

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood? ▸if he had to pick one: a summer trip with his parents and sylvan to their vacation home. this trip is where he and sylvan reaffirmed their feelings for each other.

🍀 CLOVER - do they believe in luck? are they lucky? ▸not particularly. if anything he's ambivalent to the concept.

🌏 EARTH - will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them? ▸no.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them? ▸hone came out of literally nowhere during one of the worst periods of my life (at the time). like mug and imura, he was a dnd oc and the first thing i decided about him was he was a catboy with two swords. the dnd version of him and the current version of him are two very different characters. ▸the dnd campaign required our characters have a curse. i stole the fire on his chest from sonic and the secret rings and went, "ok but what if, unlike the game, it actually was a threat" and spiraled from there. funnily enough, he's not the first character i've done that with. he wasn't even the phoenix at this point either, just a random guy. ▸if i had to pinpoint any other inspirations, it'd have to be link from the legend of zelda, especially skyward sword's. though if i'm being honest, tloz is my biggest inspiration for everything i write, even if i don't realize it right away so this comes as no real surprise to me. ▸an additional source of inspiration i've found in retrospect since starting this post, is the player character from persona 3. -=-=-=-=-=-=-

activity ⚾ BASEBALL - can they play sports? what is their best position if they play a team sport? what’s their strong suit (speed, power etc.)? ▸if swordplay counts as a sport then sure! hone is ambidextrous and is able to fight using two swords. his strong suit would have to be his adaptability as things like speed and power completely depend on his physical well-being at the time.

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean? ▸yes. he's pretty average and doesn't do so very often. he's never swam in the ocean before so he'd probably be a bit hesitant at first but ultimately be pretty neutral. -=-=-=-=-=-=-

objects 📣 MEGAPHONE - how loud are they? what do they speak like? got a voice claim? ▸depends on who he's around. normally, anywhere between a regular speaking voice and a quieter, more withdrawn tone. he does raise his voice when worked up but it takes a lot to get to that point. his voice claim is khoi dhao!

📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what’s their favourite genre? ▸he doesn't dislike reading but he prefers other, more active activities. his favourite genre(s) would probably be anything that correlated with his other interests: like xenofiction feat. horses or some adventure with fun sword fights.

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for? ▸the possibility of answer(s); about himself or even his predecessor. anything that can potentially help him better understand what's going on in the present.

🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what’s different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.? ▸when he was a kid, he was incredibly friendly to everyone around him. nowadays he's very wary of strangers and seems to actively avoid the order. he's super affectionate with family and friends and only really opens up to those he feels safe around.

✂️ SCISSORS - what is the “last straw” for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people? ▸he doesn't know what its like to actively cut someone from his life because he's always been on the receiving end, the one who was left behind.

💡 LIGHTBULB - is your oc a planner? do they write down every small detail or just wing it? ▸everything hone does is completely by the seat of his pants. this guy has no clue what he's doing at any given moment.

💎 DIAMOND - how rich are they? can they live the lifestyle they want to? ▸growing up, his family was fairly wealthy because of cairn's position as the former order head. his parents didn't spoil him but he was allowed to have a few luxuries- like toys or treats, especially after his 'attacks'. they wanted him to have a comfortable childhood. he lost access to his inheritance when he disappeared and now has pretty much nothing other than the few things gifted to him by his remaining family (his horse and swords). he hasn't gotten the chance to discover what his lifestyle as an adult is like.

🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving? ▸food! a meal is all he could ask for. some quality time with his loved ones as well. other than flowers for sylvan, he's not good with tangible gifts.

🍼 BABY BOTTLE - what are their thoughts on children? ▸has never considered having kids and probably won't. he doesn't mind them though; he gets along really well with his young cousins and mugwort.

🔪 KNIFE - how do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame? ▸if it's something minor, he'll drop whatever he's doing to rush over to help. if the injury is significant enough, it'll put him in a state of temporary despair before he gets angry and protective. depending on if he could have prevented it, he would blame himself.

👑 CROWN - what does your oc want to be remembered as? why? ▸*see answer for moon

✏️ PENCIL - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them? ▸i could hear the signs calling out from the bottom of the fire

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? do you associate a particular song with them? ▸ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/15IekAEKcogAHJ1XL7Wkee?si=11623cbee98445a3

🎤 MICROPHONE - are they good at singing? what is their go-to karaoke song? ▸ he has a good singing voice but his talents go unused aside from sometimes humming a specific song he claims he's heard in his dreams.

🎷 SAXOPHONE - do they play any instruments? are they any good at it? ▸ nope.

📚 BOOKS - how were they at school? what is their best subject? what is their worst subject? do they have a favourite subject? ▸schools aren't really a thing in the sun's reach. education is placed upon parents or people with specialties they hire to teach their children. therefore, subjects vary wildly and often times kids can chose what to learn. hone was an avid learner, but he had to actively do the thing he was taught or else it wouldn't stick. his favourite was anything outside or required he be active and his least favourite would probably be more 'academically' leaning lessons, such as math or writing.

👖 JEANS - what is their go-to outfit? ▸aside from not being able to properly wear a shirt, his go to outfit is a pair of riding pants and boots. aside from pink, he likes monochromatic or neutral dark colors. ideally he'd like to wear something a little... more but because of the fire, he overheats so he's making do with the vest. somehow he always manages to find a replacement for the pants he grows out of.

🎨 PALETTE - can they draw? what do they like to draw? ▸not well.

⏳ HOURGLASS - are they usually late or on-time? ▸early!

🔫 PISTOL - do they trust people easily? ▸no. he's always been rather cautious of strangers but now more so than ever. that said, once you have his trust, you have it for life.

📎 PAPERCLIP - a random fact. ▸hone learned he was ambidextrous through his sword lessons and spars with sylvan. growing up he used to solely write with his left hand since he would mimic his dad; now he'll use either but his handwriting is significantly better with his left.

❇️ SPARKLE - what is their most prized possession? what do they value? ▸it's between his father's old badge and the swords that he left for him. both act as a symbol of protection for him and the latter are even named in his parent's honour.

📏 RULER - is your oc well educated? where did they get their learning from? ▸*see answer for books; he's as well educated as his parents could provide for him. -=-=-=-=-=-=-

weather 🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning? ▸nope.

🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you’ve ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version? ▸making him the phoenix reborn! i brought it up in a few other points but he was literally just some guy before. this gave him better purpose in the narrative and higher stakes. fun fact: additionally, the reveal of this was supposed to be end of the story information, the climax, like a big twist reveal but then i didn't have a story leading up to that point so it was changed to much closer to the beginning.

🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self? ▸"life may be difficult sometimes; it may seem like the world is out to get you and beat you down... but there's always a light on the other side and people who care for you. pick yourself up, carry on and live that life to the fullest, surrounded by the people you love. be yourself and not what the world expects you to be."

🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self? ▸ [answered] ▸he often feels he's responsible for more than he truly is based on expectations placed upon him. he also pushes himself too hard physically without allowing for supple amounts of rest. with a little nudge from the people who care about him, he has to remind himself to be more gentle and that he doesn't have to carry the world on his shoulders... but he often just falls back in to the same spirals. ☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon ▸he purrs in his sleep

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with? ▸spoilers for the first half! sorry. he likes stargazing with mugwort.

🌠 SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make? ▸he'd wish for his chronic pain to go away for good!!

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right? ▸depends on what people do or don't know about him via rumours and the like. for the most part people just find him strange. some assume he's really skilled with a sword and while this is true, he's not likely to draw them unless he has no other choice. -=-=-=-=-=-=-

hearts 💓 BEATING HEART - what gets their heart racing? ▸sylvan <3

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight? ▸he's only have had sights for one person and only after they were long-term friends first did it grow into something more. he wouldn't know what to look for in another relationship since he's not looking. no, does not believe in love at first sight.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they’re in love? ▸hard to tell because he's affectionate toward everyone close to him.

❤️ RED HEART - their love language(s)? ▸quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch

💚 GREEN HEART - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food? ▸hugs, someone playing with/combing through his hair, any of his favourite foods.

💖 SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover? ▸subtle :>

💔 BROKEN HEART - what could their partner do that would absolutely break their heart? ▸give up on themself

For the Canon/OC asks:

March Hare: How has their existence impacted Wyll and Lae'zel? Or any of the main companion characters really? :3

~ @bardic-perdita 💜

Other than the usual choices within the game to influence the companions endings Lae'zel and Wyll are definitely the ones that Valora would leave the most impact on so we're going to stick with those.

For Wyll she influences him to be a bit more selfish and go for the things that he wants, not that he thinks he should do. It's not exactly a hot take but I hate that he's the only companion that you can't just leave his most important decision up to him. Valora refuses to influence this, especially considering the point in the story when it comes. Valora first off, figuring out her identity and then deciding if that's even one that she wants to reclaim is reaching its conclusion by that point and she doesn't want to be the deciding factor in anyone's fate. In my head he does choose the option that would allow him freedom. I think the want for it would be too much for even someone is altruistic as Wyll to be able to resist. Thankfully due to Valora wanting to thoroughly screw over Gortash he does get to have his cake and eat it too being free and having his father by the end of all this. And then the father gets to deal with the shape-shifting Bhaalblob in-law later on 😆

As for our favorite long-distance bestie. They were in the perfect time and place to influence each other to change for the better. Both of them definitely have at their core a curiosity and kindness to them. I'm a firm believer that durge even before being tadpoled wasn't completely evil and there's some evidence for it within the game. And goodness knows Lae'zel may complain about it, but overall it is not hard to influence her to be more shall we say gentle with the world around her pretty fast. Valora is violent but they is also highly curious and that violence allowed for a quick bond and then so is to not push the line with their new ally Lae'zel had to slow down and start to explore with them. I'd say by the end of it they've probably influenced a bit more of an anthropologist's perspective into Lae'zel just because of their sheer zest and curiosity for life, relationships, and history.

Entry #48 July 31st '23

#YurasLife #DailyYura #Birthday2023 #Food

𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐘𝐮𝐫𝐚 - Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy happy birthday to me! Ah! Another year has come and gone. How insane is that? Have you guys felt the weight of the years coming settling lately, or have you felt the weight of the years passing go away? (*>∀<*) It's truly curious, isn't it? How time can run the same speed for everyone and yet feel so different!

This year, I'll admit, I feel lighter. I've also been a bit more excited over birthdays. Mine, specifically. If you've been around a bit, you know my thoughts on birthdays, how it has always been more a celebration of growth with friends and family than actually something for myself, a gathering for all, not me. I guess I just never had something or someone I looked forward to spending the day with... But this year? I was greedy with it. Just a little! But still greedy, I think!

Although I'm posting a little late, I'd still like to share how the day was like with you!

I got so many surprises, too! At the restaurant we went to for dinner, the corn dish! And at 12AM, not one minute later, everyone at my doorstep singing happy birthday! My favorite gift, if I must say, was the silliest little thing. San always knows how to surprise me, got me some fun little surprise balls, and they had the cutest looking little kittens inside! He said they're collectibles, so now we have to get them all! ﾟ+.ﾟ(*´∀`)bﾟ+.ﾟ

Another thing I loved this year was my family visiting, it's been a while since I spent a birthday with them! I believe that made it super duper special, too. It was great having them over for a few days and making the moment memorable, I miss them dearly even if I do see them regularly.

For you, what's the best way to spend a birthday? Is there anything you do religiously every year for yours? Since I moved here, my friends and I have always tried to wake the other up with surprise cake at unholy hours! Just some months ago, we sneaked into a friend's house at 4AM! It's always fun and makes for the weirdest, improvised little parties.

Ah, with all of that being said, I farewell July! It's been a fun, exciting month for me! Lots of birthdays, fun times, and memories made ♡

How did July treat you this year? Are you happy or sad it's come to an end? Even though I'll miss it, I'm excited for what's to come! Can't believe we're already so close to the end of the year. Gotta make the best out of the time we've got left!

Alright, my beautiful readers~. I'll go now and set you guys free! Have a lovely day ahead, and as always, we'll see each other soon!

With love, -Yura ♡

Unbreakable Ties 7: The Waiting Game

idol!Jaehyun x OC

Genre: Childhood Friends to Lovers; slow burn; angst

Tags: @yincotton @26zcl @ahtisa02 @joepomonerof @painted-hills @ukiyoneo @ourbeautifulaffair @wintersoulwarrior @cryingforjae

Note: This is a filler chapter. Let me know if you want to join the taglist. 🫶

2020

Promises are meant to be broken. As much as they want to keep each other in arms length, it is impossible not to drift away. Jaehyun fly in and out of the country. When he stays in South Korea, it will be recording, practicing, attending a variety show, or attending a drama school. Eunhye sometimes only see him on TV or in twitter through the updates of his fansites. She also started working in a bank as a Financial Analyst. Breaking her back just to prove her worth to the higher ups.

It was a Saturday evening. Eunhye is getting dolled up to celebrate her birthday. It has been a while since the last time she celebrated it with him. The tradition faded into thin air. Jaehyun celebrates his birthday with his group and goes online to have a live with his fans. She was about to put her lipstick when someone knocked to her door.

When she opened it, Jaehyun showed with a wine and paper bags on both of his hands.

"Took you long enough to let me it." Jaehyun said then hugged her tightly before going inside. "You changed your sofa?"

"Yeah 3 months ago." Eunhye said while looking at him like she couldn't believe that Jaehyun is here. Jaehyun just smiled to cover his regrets for losing that much time.

"Do you have plans tonight?"

"Don't you have a schedule for tonight?"

They laughed together. Jaehyun shaked his head.

"Cleared my schedule tonight until tomorrow afternoon." He said while shaking the wine in front of Eunhye. Jaehyun went to the kitchen to prepare the cake. He puts the candle and lit the wick.

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday, Dear Eun Hye Happy birthday to you." While Jaehyun is singing, Eunhye just looked at him with tears threatening to fall. She missed him so much. She missed being with him all the time.

Now, she can't just call him ask Jaehyun to come over or go to the new trending cafe. They tried to go outside once but a sasaeng and paparazzi spotted them. The next day a blind item was published. Since then, his company asked Jaehyun not to go outside with her much to his dismay.

"Blow your candle and make a wish." Jaehyun told her when he noticed that Eunhye is staring at her. She closed her eyes and blew the candle. "What did you wish?"

Eunhye's wish is now in front of her so she just shrugged.

"World peace?" Which he laughed, but the truth is she wished to have more time with Jaehyun. Eunhye is scared that he will slip away and forget her.

"Let's cut the cake." Jaehyun is about to cut it when Eunhye screamed 'No'. "Why? Cake should be eaten."

"We don't have a cake later for you." Eunhye said that made him laugh. He nodded and proceed to putting the cake inside the refridgerator.

Despite having plans that night, Eunhye cancelled the night out with her friends. She chose to stay with Jaehyun. They cooked together whatever is in her cupboard. Jaehyun gave her a paper bag full of random items he bought from different countries he visited for work.

When the clock hits 12 AM, they used the candle and cake. Eunhye sang happily and Jaehyun was so happy to hear her voice again. He missed celebrating his birthday with her. Jaehyun blew the candle and smiled to her.

"What's your wish?"

"More of this." Jaehyun whispered while looking at the cake.

"Ha? I didn't catch that." Eunhye frowned.

"I said you are not allowed to know because the wish will not come true." He said but Eunhye squinted at him.

"I'll believe that bullshit so we can now eat the cake. Cut it now, Mr. Prada." She demanded and he followed. It will be a sight for his fans to see Jaehyun being whipped.

They drank the wine empty and tell endless stories to update each other until they fell asleep in the living room. When Eunhye woke up, Jaehyun is gone and she wonders if last night was just a dream.

She walked to her kitchen and saw an envelope. It was the same envelope Jaehyun will give to him every birthday since middle school. Eunhye opened it carefully and read the content.

Dear Eunhye,

Look how we made it! Early 20s and we are doing it well. I've been to a lot of places these past few months. I thought of bringing you there. I am sure that you will enjoy it. Someday let's travel together.

Your one and only,

Jaehyun

The next time she heard a call from Jaehyun was he informed her that he is casted as a lead actor for a romcom. Jaehyun told her that he might not be able to visit her a lot during filming. Eunhye gave her support and told him not to worry.

Just like what she always do, Eunhye waits for him to come back and take of whatever Jaehyun can give. After all, he is her bestfriend.

Present

Eunhye went home without any NCT album much to disappointment of Yeri. Kim Yerim ranted for hours about how easy it is to drop by any music store and get a copy. Eunhye told her to buy online and she will cover all the fees.

Eunhye went to her room to get her sleeping pattern back but she keep on tossing and turning even with the help of melatonin. There's sadness inside that she does not like to acknowledge. Although she went back home, it felt like there was a big void in her life.

She keep a blissfull front to his son but once he goes to school, Eunhye will succomb to this pit of emptiness. Her son, Jeno reminds her everything about him. From the smile, eyes, and their humor. Eunhye returned all the memorabilia Jaehyun gave except for their son. Contrary to Jaehyun's belief that she erased him to her life, Eunhye will be reminded of him for the rest of her life.

Seoul, South Korea

"Holy sh-- wait are you serious? like serious serious?" Mark asked him after Jaehyun asked if it is possible to visit every city of Canada in a year. "Well, I think it's possible but wow I haven't even visited half of it."

Her words linger in his mind. Jaehyun couldn't under why she said 'One of the Best Decisions of her life'. He thinks it is absurd.

"Crazy how she thinks that staying with you will destroy you." Johnny said after sipping his Americano. "Or maybe she said that after your chaotic confession."

"Very helpful, Johnny." He groaned. Jaehyun told them everything to seek advise after they comforted him they proceeded on laughing at his failed confession.

"So the plan would be you will take hiatus for a year to find Eunhye?" Mark asked him.

"Yes, that's the plan."

"It's like finding a needle in the middle of haystack." Johnny said. He is supportive in the idea of finding Eunhye but he is pessimistic at Jaehyun's plan. "Don't you have any better ways?"

"Do you have any idea, Johnny?" Jaehyun bites back.

"Get her IP address."

"You think I haven't tried? She's using VPN and I confirmed it when Eunhye said she lives in Canada. First time I checked she was in Paris so I went there---"

"Wait so that's why you were in Paris when the year she was gone?" Jaehyun nodded. "When you went to Mexico is she the reason too? And all your yearly vacation is to find her?"

Jaehyun sadly nodded. Foolish attempts to find her.

"That's the definition of world tour." Johnny said clapped slowly then Mark did too. "I don't know what to say, man. You love so deep."

"Anyway, we will have a concert in Toronto and Vancouver in 3 weeks. We can start finding Eunhye from there." Mark said in positive tone.

"Yeah. At least we now have a definite country." Jaehyun is so positive of finding her.

Almost 2 decades in the career made him brave and reckless. When Eunhye runaway, his hands were tied. No one is willing to help him or he has no way. His teammates are willing but they were all scolded and restricted by the company.

Everything is different now. Jaehyun can do whatever he wants. He has more freedom than before. All he needs is to see Eunhye and ask for her explanation. Closure. That's what he wants. If Eunhye wants him gone after he got the closure he wants, Jaehyun will move on with his life and carry his love for the rest of his life.

Tables have turned. Eunhye isn't the one who waits anymore. It is Jaehyun's turn to wait.
