♡ Introducing: Grace Huang & Mateo Flores in "Into Your Arms" [Original Story] ♡

"I see you've already made friends with your new neighbor." - "And I can see why you've been hiding him this whole time."

Make-up artist Gracie Huang is straight up having the worst time of her life. Not only does she have to find out her boyfriend Sean - star of the ill conceived"21 Jumpstreet" remake she's working for - is cheating on her with some IG model; to add insult to injury, she has to find out with the literal rest of the world when the news and receipts hit TikTok. Not only does she still have to see the cheating scumbag every day at work, she's also suddenly homeless, because apparently love makes stupid on top of blind, which is why she'd agreed to move in with him after only five months of dating.

And this is how Gracie finds herself in her best friend Savannah's guest room with a broken heart and a trash bag full of her favourite clothes.

Savannah's charming neighbor - up and coming artist Mateo Flores - could be just what the doctor ordered, if it wasn't for her BFF invoking the childish "No Kiss" pact they'd made back in college...

Joshua has noticed how Clive was disturbed since he heard about Ultima's plan for him, for Mythos. All of this makes sense. Joshua learned quite early that Ultima wanted something from Clive, but he couldn't have suspected it was because he had chosen him as his vessel. But Clive is not a vessel. He his Joshua's brother, the person who has given him the most HOPE through all these years, even when they were apart. From the moment he learned Clive was still alive, he had always wanted to see him again. He never gave up on him.

"Brother, listen to me. You do not have to be Mythos. What Ultima plans to do with you... It does not matter." Well, it matters in some ways, because they will need to fight and kill Ultima to stop him from wanting to use Clive, but it doesn't change who Clive truly is.

He offers his brother a brief, soft smile. "Look at how you inspire everyone at the Hideaway ? They are all following you because they know you're a man of heart. They know you want the best for all of them, but also for everyone in Valisthea, no matter who they are or where they are from." He puts his hand on Clive's arm. "And you have always been my greatest inspiration. I have always looked up to you. Even with the Undying, I wonder what you would have done more than once, to make sure I chose the right path."

Going legitimately insane because all my brain has been able to chew on has been this particular callback and what it means for the headspace that Fadel is in at the end of episode 6.

Fadel starts the episode with his walls so utterly dismantled that he is able to verbally admit this desire to Bison (and, more importantly, himself) out loud . . . only to end the episode brokenheartedly discarding that dream as he instead offers to fashion himself into what he (thinks) Style wants, not knowing that he is already everything that Style has come to desire.

It's insane that Fadel even said that to Bison in the first place because the Fadel of episode 5 knew better than to believe it was possible for anyone to truly bare themselves to another person, knew better than to want to know and be known and chosen despite it all. To the Fadel of episode 5, "laying yourself bare" was an impossibility because of how much power it gives the other person, and Fadel's mind is too practical, his circumstances too complex, his heart too fragile to ever give that to anyone ever again.

But Fadel's walls began to crack in the face of Style's honesty and the shared pain of knowing what it is to loose someone precious; shuddered under the weight of Style pressing kisses to his scar and laying Fadel bare to bring him pleasure; shattered in the face of Style giving himself over to loving Fadel for a whole night -- and Fadel woke up half underneath the spread of Style's body and found himself already in love.

And do you know how I know this? Because of all the things Fadel could have said he liked about Style, he chooses this. It's not that Style is effortlessly kind and thoughtlessly generous at times. It's not that Style is hot and sexy and frankly kind of a slut (specifically for Fadel). It's not even that Style has secret, hidden depths and an unexpectedly shared pain which allows him to understand and empathise with Fadel in a way that no one but Bison has been able to for a very long time.

No, it's his cockiness. His arrogance. The way Style is unabashedly himself and makes no apologies for it. The way Style will literally dance to his own tune and sing at the top of his lungs with no care for anyone else's opinion unless it's to appreciate it. The way Style walks into the room and has the confidence to put his body on display and already know that he will be welcomed and wanted -- and this confidence meant that he assumed Fadel would find him attractive, and would not stop until Fadel eventually gave in to that attraction.

It's telling that it's these specific instances that come to mind when Fadel thinks about Style's lips. There are so many scenes and shots they could have chosen (because lbr here Dunk, and therefore Style, really does have amazing lips), so it feels very intentional that Fadel thinks firstly of the time Style refused to back off when Fadel pretended not to miss him, and then the moment when Fadel finally admitted that he did and was rewarded with Style's reassurance and reciprocated vulnerability and wholehearted embrace. Also, because this was the last episode that Style did not Know, and therefore was still being fully honest with Fadel. Both instances are Fadel appreciating in hindsight the way Style's very nature -- the way he would not give up, the way he keeps pushing and pushing even in the face of Fadel's seeming impassivity -- gives Fadel not only the opportunity but the impetus to finally let go of his control and acknowledge his feelings for Style.

It's explicit confirmation that Fadel enjoys and appreciates and has grown to love Style's personality and antics and the way he expresses himself.

So the Fadel in episode 6 dares to ask for Style's honesty and gives with it an explicit promise of trust and acceptance in return. After recognising the effort Style has had to put in to find ways to connect with Fadel (heavy metal vs pop rock), he now asks for Style to be real with him because Fadel understands himself to be ready to love, and in loving Style, is able to offer the very thing he wants the most from Style: "acceptance of who he really is".

We also see the evidence of Fadel's unspoken promise in the way that he now responds with an almost easy openness to Style's questions in stark contrast to the Fadel in the early part of the show. If he wants Style to accept him, he can't continue keeping all his secrets. So now, he gives Style pieces of himself with barely a thought, and lets Style use them to push and prod and drag to light the very things he used to keep hidden because he thought they weren't useful or helpful or worthy of being loved (see @sherrymagic's gorgeous gifset + my tags on it).

It's also in the way he now allows Style to take him outside of his comfort zone because he trusts that the private joys he's kept to himself are safe in Style's hands; that, moreover, Style will look to Fadel's happiness and not make a mockery of it.

I'm obsessed with the moment in the screenshot on the bottom right because Fadel looks so completely out of his element and almost in a state of shock. He's literally standing separated from the rest of the group in the composition of the shot, hesitation writ in every line of his body, while Style, who isn't even a fan of this band or this music, fits in with the band seamlessly.

But this hesitation isn't because of discomfort, it's nervousness and an almost joyous disbelief because Fadel could never have done this on his own, he would never have allowed himself the indulgence of actually showing his love for his favourite band if Style hadn't taken the initiative to drag him there and ask for the photo. And, oh, how wonderful it must have felt to see Style prove his own words by being right there by Fadel's side as he lets himself go, as he lets himself be himself without fear, for the first time in what must have felt like forever.

In a single, perfect night, Style has been exactly, precisely, breathtakingly everything Fadel could ever have wanted; because in a single night of Fadel finally having the courage to bare himself to another person, Style gave Fadel not only acceptance but a celebration of who Fadel is. With everything Style does that night, he ties himself to Fadel; he ties his happiness to Fadel's and his comfort to the warmth of Fadel's embrace. Style fashioned himself into exactly what Fadel wanted -- and now that Fadel has had a taste of it, how can he possibly go back?

Which is why Fadel already knows that it's too late for him, he knows that he is already in love; knows, moreover, that he has rewritten parts of himself to seek out and miss and yearn for Style; has even learned to love Style the way he understands Style wants to be loved.

So Fadel might as well keep the promise he made to Style with his lips pressed shut against the lies he didn't want to keep telling Style. He might as well give Style more days and nights and chances to spin his lies, because at least Fadel has the meager comfort of knowing he spoke the truth.

Because if Style wants to keep playing this game, if Style is able to so be so convincingly deceptive that Fadel can no longer trust himself to tell when Style is lying, then Fadel will take the punishment of choosing honesty in the face of his betrayal. Fadel will fashion himself into a heartless tool and allow himself the indulgence of playing this tantalising part -- because he may just find a way to save Bison in the process.

And to Fadel, it does not matter if his own heart gets broken along the way, because Fadel deserves the punishment of laying himself bare to the man who does not love him in return; he deserves to give Style the power of knowing the hold he has over Fadel.

But doing so is a punishment for Style, too, because if Fadel must love, then he is going to weaponise his own feelings in the fight he now thinks he has to wage against Style. Because two can play this game of cruelty, and Fadel does not care if this sword is double edged because cutting himself to pieces is a small price to pay if it means dragging Style along with him into hell.

After all, what's another crack when his whole entire world has already been so utterly and completely shattered?

Hello fellow lighter simp!!

I just want to ask.

Do you think the 'sons' of Caledon would immediately become gossiping nosy older siblings when they find out that lighter is crushing on someone.

I know for sure at least Lucy or Burnice, Who is around him a lot and More likely to have a 'second sense', will instantly know something is up with him, and Caesar would be outright salty that Lighter kept the knowledge that he's interested in someone.

OH DEFINITELY !! i wanna hang out with the girls so bad because i feel like they’d have a lot of fun gossip and tea. especially when it comes to lighter !

i think they’d all do that side eye thing with each other when they see him clearly flustered or attempting to flirt with his crush. a little spoilers for some encounters you have with him when roaming around, he seems to immediately be very talkative and joke around a lot with us. it’s safe to say that he’d do the same with his crush, which has the girls all poking each other because they know what they’re gonna talk about later in one of their rooms.

i also think that they might try and set him up in some way. they are his no. 1 supporters + wingmen (wingwomen?) but will also give him advice if the person he likes is problematic/not good.
