Day 7: Risky Places ft. William Afton.

warnings: incest, dub-con, implied underage fantasies, daddy kink, dom/sub dynamics, dirty talk, hardcore ig, william afton. DEAD DOVE.

Every other Sunday, the Aftons and the Emilys had a family get-together. Evan and Elizabeth would play with Charlie, while Michael would pretend to be sick and lock himself in his room. Sometimes William would have him come down and hang out, just to annoy him, but more often he preferred not to have him there. He and Clara would spend the afternoon chatting and drinking with the other couple, making plans for the future, and other adult things. You, the Aftons' second daughter, were usually the one who kept the kids from getting hurt or breaking anything. You were old enough to take care of it, and you did it without any problems. After all, you were very shy, and even though you had known the Emilys for years, you were embarrassed to be around them.

That Sunday, however, you were sick. You had a cold, nothing too serious, but going down to hang out would be irresponsible because you could infect anyone. So instead you spent the whole day lying in bed, sometimes reading and sometimes sleeping. You listened to the laughter and fun everyone was having down there, almost feeling jealous. You tried not to get too bitter, since the flu had appeared suddenly and there was no time to move the meeting to the next weekend —Even so, you missed seeing Evan smile and seeing mum and dad happy and relaxed.

Around eleven at night, you slipped out of your room into the bathroom. You wanted to look a little presentable to at least say goodbye to Henry and his wife from the stairs. The children must have been asleep already, surely tired after such an intense day of games. By then the adults were already a little tipsy too, which meant that William wouldn't chase you to your room as soon as he saw you poke your nose out.

You just wanted to say goodbye.

In the bathroom, you opened the medicine cabinet to take out a brush and at least fix your hair a little. You also took the opportunity to search for some foundation or makeup that could hide your dark circles. You knew it wouldn't happen, but you were too embarrassed to think that one of the adults would make fun of your poor appearance.

When you closed the medicine cabinet, your reflection in the mirror was accompanied by another. You jumped and turned around, dropping both the brush and the makeup.

“Dad!”, you exclaimed, still frightened by William's sudden appearance. You hadn't heard the door open, or close, or the lock being put on. You raised both eyebrows, ready to beg him not to scold you, but the man didn't even give you time for that.

In the blink of an eye, without really knowing how it had happened, your father's lips captured yours. You opened your mouth in a gasp, surprised, and William was quick to stick his tongue inside. You tried to push your father away, but William was much stronger and taller than you. The man pushed you back, until your lower back hit the sink. You groaned, the contact causing a little pain. That made William leave your mouth alone. Instead, he put his hand over it, the other around your slender neck.

It wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. He'd kissed you before, just never with tongue, and never with such desperation.

You understood why he was like this. You weren't a child, and when William pushed his hips against you, you felt the source of his desperation perfectly. Something, you didn't know if it was horror or excitement, filled your belly. In any case, your body felt tense.

“I can't wait any longer, Prue”, William said, and it was clear from his breath that he'd had too much to drink. Your eyes widened, shaking your head, and you mumbled something from behind your father's palm. He took his hand away, but squeezed your neck: A reminder.

“Mum and the Emilys are downstairs…”, you whispered. You didn't know why you didn't scream; even if William did something to you, it's not like the other three adults (and Michael, who was upstairs with you) couldn't get him off of you. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that your father had never hurt you; perhaps it was the moisture that was beginning to build between your thighs the more William pushed against you.

“That’s why you have to be quiet”, he replied, his free hand moving down your body. He slid his hand under the pyjama pants, and shamelessly began to caress his own daughter’s pussy over your panties. You gasped, but no sound came out. William smiled. “That’s it. It’s not that hard, is it? I knew you’d be good to me… You always have been”.

You blushed, almost involuntarily spreading your legs a little. William pushed the panties aside, coming into contact with your intimacy. He growled at the speed with which you wet yourself already, his cock throbbing inside his pants. He caressed you a little more before letting you go. You almost begged him to continue, for the stimulation had already clouded your judgment and you knew that if you didn’t have him again you would run away. That was something you didn’t want to do, for you were tired of fighting your primitive instincts.

You hated them. You hated that you liked your own father so much, and you hated that he reciprocated your desires.

God, it would all be so easy if only he weren't as sick as you were.

William pulled your pants and panties down to your knees. You felt the cold air against your pussy, a shiver running through your body. It soon went away, as in a flash your father's cock was pressed between your thighs, almost maddeningly brushing against your clit. You had seen it before, even touched it, but you had never gone this far. You were excited but also terribly scared.

Without much further delay, your father pushed your legs open, and a second later he balls deep in you, hips pressed against your pelvis. He shoved his fingers into your mouth at the same time, thus preventing the scream that ultimately tried to escape your mouth. You felt a horrible burning inside you, like magma being poured from within you. You didn't know if it was your own juices, at best, or your own blood, at worst. It was your first time, after all, and William had definitely not been careful.

You tried to understand. You tried to think that he was just too eager for you, to have you. You couldn't blame him. That's how men were.

William didn't even stop to ask how you were, instead moving and imposing a steady, firm pace. You were very sensitive, feeling the way your father moved in and out of you, inch by inch. It was horrible, it was painful, and yet…

Perhaps it was your arousal, or perhaps it was an effort to help you get through the moment, but pleasure began to blossom within the pain. The way your body expanded and contracted around his cock was detestable, disgusting —Which was why you liked it so much. You felt a tickling sensation that was increasing more and more, the same one that made you start to moan. You still had William's fingers in your mouth, and perhaps in a primitive impulse, your tongue stretched out to lick and suck the digits.

In front of you, William moaned.

“Christ, if I had known you would like it so much”, a short pause, just enough to accommodate himself better, and setting a punishing rhythm against your cunt, “I would’ve done this to you years ago. You're soaked, darling —Fuck, you feel so good”.

You couldn't even answer. Of course you heard what the man said, and of course it was worrying; but you didn't care. Not when everything was so wonderful, when your body and mind could only ask for more and more, your mouth following the command. William laughed evilly, going even faster and louder. He couldn't take too long, because at any moment Clara would go look for him, or check on her daughter. He wanted to be with her as long as possible, obviously, but he would have other opportunities.

For now, he just wanted to finish. He was sick of the fucking hard-on he had all day. He was sick of having to hold back for so long.

His long fingers stretched out between you, ring and middle fingers pressing your clit and twisting with speed. The other hand, the one inside your mouth, went back around his daughter's neck and squeezed. Not enough to leave marks, but enough to cut off your breathing and all your noises. You rolled your eyes, legs around the man, hips moving rhythmically against him. William smiled.

“That's it, good girl”, he growled, mouth open, saliva leaking between his lips like he was an animal. Your pussy was tightening in the most delicious and pleasurable way. He could get used to this. He could do this for the rest of his days. “Like that, yeah, cum on your daddy’s cock”.

You had never had an orgasm, and the sensation scared you so much that you tried to resist. You couldn't even then, your father was too experienced to not make you cum. Your body tensed and clenched, the moan so loud that not even the man's hand could completely silence you. Everything stopped as that sensation filled you, along with something else that you were quick to identify as soon as you came down from your ecstasy.

William only waited to empty all his cum inside you to pull out and raise his pants back up. He smoothed his clothes and made sure he didn't have any stains or fluids on him, as well as pushing back his hair and wiping the sweat from his forehead. He watched his cream escape from your cunt, the sight so grotesque that it almost gave him an erection again.

There was a knock at the door. William tensed completely, but he was used to doing things he shouldn't, so his body reacted quickly.

“Wait a minute!”, he exclaimed. You were still in a daze, completely lost in your first orgasm, so it was up to him to clean you up a bit and pull up your clothes. Then he picked you up like a princess, as he always did. You leaned back against his chest, eyes half closed, tired. He smiled, a little less maliciously than before, and opened the door.

Outside was Clara. William explained that when he went up to check on you, you asked him for help to go to the bathroom, as you were too tired from the flu to get up on your own. And he had just gone in to get you back to bed. The woman smiled, extremely happy to have a man like him at her side. She kissed your forehead and wished you a good night, only to then caress her husband's face and go into the bathroom, exclaiming that the Emilys had already left.

William took you to your room, laying you down and tucking you in. He lay down on the sheets and held you, deciding to give you some affection. You snuggled up to him, a little more lucid now but also very exhausted, a smile on your face despite how fucked up you knew everything was.

In his room, Michael clenched his fists so hard that he was hurting himself. Every time he thought that maybe William wasn't as terrible as he seemed, he went and showed him that yes, he could be worse. Much worse.

But who would believe him, especially when you would never betray your manipulative father?

Bunch of New OCs

Descendants

Calen (x Ben) & Morrigan (x Jane) in Control – the children of Chernabog, very powerful magic users who grew up on the isle. Not a part of any crew, preferred to just stick together, but Calen has a history with both Harry and Jay, and Morrigan has a history with Evie. TBD if they're invited to Auradon or if they just invite themselves, here to cause chaos

Chernabog takes a technically female presenting body when trapped by the isle magic and is Aubrey Plaza probably but also maybe Kathryn Hahn idk?

Glee

Lucinda (Patti Lupone) & Vanessa (Kathryn Hahn) Hope in The Art Of Making Art – Danny's mothers, details in Danny's intro

(ft. introduced Nadia & Pip, Danny's therapist and boyfriend respectively)

Heartstopper

Isabella Belly Spring in Personal Best – Charlie's twin sister, probably has BPD because i can't write any mentally stable ocs rn, autistic queen, bit of a loner at Higgs but she and Elle have always been close so when she transfers, baby girl gets pulled into the friend squad with Darcy & Tara, Ben's ex girlfriend (while he was also with Charlie, dumped him when she found out about that) and current president of the Ben Hate Squad

Juniper Catalina Solano in A Place In This World – Nick’s best friend, moved away when they were 13 (basically just before his kiss with Tara and before he became friends with Imogen), they stayed in touch and are still very very close

Details iffy but her parents die early in season 1 and it was in their will that if anything happened to them, they wanted their daughter to live with Sarah Nelson (they got along well and trusted her, she wasn’t their very best friend but they knew it was the best choice for their daughter), so she’s just moved back

Marvel (Agatha All Along)

Naomi Kaplan in Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power – William Kaplan's twin sister, not a Maximoff but born with magic (tbd what kind of witch she is but loves crystals and tarot readings even before knowing she's a witch), can immediately tell that something is Not Right with her brother after the accident (maybe also died/almost died in the accident and that's when her magic kicks in? tbd), the only one who knows the full truth of who he is, invites herself along when Billy goes to find Agatha

Renna Vidal / Renna Vidal-Harkness in Earthly And Divine – Rio & Agatha's magically created witch daughter, Nicky's older sister. Withdrew from both of her parents after Nicky died and might never have reconnected with them if she hadn't somehow gotten herself swept up in Billy Kaplan's plan to walk the Witches' Road

Elizabeth Zella Maximoff in Maiden, Mother, Crone – Billy & Tommy's triplet, ends up in a slightly older body after the Hex breaks down, finds Billy completely by chance and now will not rest until they get Tommy back too

bonus: Kassandra's AAA title is Glory At The End & Cheryl's is Sewn With Fate

RWRB

Christian Douglas Charles William Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor in History Has Its Eyes On You – Youngest prince, 18/19 when everything starts, gay and closeted, adores Henry more than anything in the world

dating Emilia Harper Claremont-Diaz, who knows that he's gay and is okay with being his public beard and forever best friend, but Mary is starting to put more and more pressure on him to propose

Emilia Harper Claremont Diaz in History Has Its Eyes On You– baby of the Claremont-Diaz family, she is in her first or second year at GWU in RWRB. Was a total daddy's girl growing up and never outgrew the pain of Oscar leaving. Majoring in International Relations because she feels like she has to and minoring in art history because she loves it, undiagnosed ADHD like her brother. Often referred to as the People's Princess in the US and as the American Princess internationally, loves Texas with all her heart, Secret Service codename is Buttercup which she chose because of her favourite Powerpuff Girl

Fashion icon (not as much as June though), idolizes her big sister forever, social media star, loves art and art history and museums and creating art, often feels like she might not be smart enough to make her family proud, happily fake dating her best friend Christian Fox

named after Harper Lee and Emilia Casanova de Villaverde, probably goes by her middle name (except with Oscar's family) but tbd

Titans

Morvan Abbott (x Jason Todd) in Abyss – Rowena Abbott's younger, lowkey the reason she was in jail (specifically, she killed their step father while protecting Morvan from him). After Rowena's arrest he ran away, found himself taken in by a woman with powers somewhat similar to his own and a vested interest in not letting Trigon destroy the world. After Rowena ends up with Dick and Rachel, they encounter this woman on their search for answers, and Rowena finally sees her baby brother again

2 and/or 4, please! Hope you’re doing well!

hello hello vee! 💕🫂

2. talk about a notable time a narrative or character has looked you dead in the eyes and said “fuck your plan, here’s what we’re actually doing.”

ooh okay this actually just happened to me when i was writing my last byler soulmate au. i've published two different byler au series like this (and written three, but that first one i wrote will not be seeing the light of day lol) and in the first two i had the first part will's pov, and the second part mike's. but when i was writing the sequel to iimdittgttsy (GAH why did i make such a long-ass quote the title), again supposed to be mike's pov, it was just Not Working. there was a lot i wrote from his pov (and it ended up being most of the fic), but i ended up realizing that will was simply Not Done Talking and he had Things to Say and Angst to Work Through!!! he literally would not shut up, and i had to switch off between his and mike's pov. i think it turned out pretty great tbh, but it was definitely annoying having to break up my formula. perhaps i will write a part three in which mike gets more of a say...

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? optional bonus question: do you ever wonder why you haven’t written it yet and experience deep existential dread?

hoo boy. if there's a god of carrying around plot bunnies for years and years at a time and/or abandoning them in wips it is probably me. i try to not let it weigh on me. but here's an incomplete list of my stranger things plot bunnies that i haven't gotten around to:

will escapes the UD on his own sometime between s1 and s3 and runs away, ultimately linking up with kali and her gang, who then have to return to hawkins to help el/the squad with the UD/henry. (potentially ft. will-has-powers and/or birthdaygate)

byler reunite in college after drunkenly hooking up

art teacher who runs the gsa!will & new english teacher!mike reunite. it's awkward.

max finds out about "it's not my fault you don't like girls" and confronts mike

will joins scoops troop in s3

fic exploring max's life post-s2

other party members visiting el at the cabin post s2/separate henderhop and hopclair oneshots

the byers hide el in their house post s1

...if anyone wants to know more about any of these lmk... maybe i'll actually start writing them again 👀😅

fanfic ask game!!

[mcalhenwrites]

Now that Geckos is out, I plan to work on the side stories for a little collection of them. "Don't" and "Dancing Bones" will be edited, but I plan to post them online for free as well as put them in the story collection.

It'll likely only be an ebook, though, and it'll have a few more stories. That includes a finished version of "Late Returns" (what I've posted is only the first part of a WIP). I want to get back to Stargazers' Hill and the Warren/Henry story that isn't titled yet, but right now, Seasons has taken over my brain again. I'm editing and reposting chapters on AO3. I thought people might be upset that I was reposting it, but so far the reception has been kind. ;A; (I still feel bad somehow? But that's on me.) After publishing Geckos and having an amazing day in the next town over, the following day was... not so great. We had storms. I'm gonna be vague for location reasons, but I live in one of the towns hit by a tornado the other day. I saw a map of it, and uh, I could've seen the tornado out my bedroom window if it had hit during the day instead of at night where visibility is shit. And if I hadn't been huddled in the downstairs hallway with my cats and roommate. I was panicked about the weather all day, and that was worse because it was the anniversary of Andover 1991 (a tornado). I lived through that. Uh, very luckily I lived through that, it hit my neighborhood and was scary close to my house, to the point the sirens 50 ft away or so were drowned out by the sound of the tornado. We had no basement and no good inner rooms or closets in such a tiny house at the time. I've been through other tornadoes since then, but none were as terrifying as that one. Before the tornado and after the reminder that it was Andover 1991 aniversary... I also got an email that I didn't get a job that would've been good for my disabilities. Like, worked around it well and not been too straining on me. Plus I would've worked with animals. I'm struggling financially, so writing is the only way I'm getting any income - outside of crocheting, and I don't want to fucking do that for money. I want my hobby back. I want to make gifts. I want to make OC dolls. I want my limited physical spoons for crocheting to be for ENJOYMENT. Not so stressful it makes me fucking hate crocheting. Which... yeah, I'm kind of there again. That said, I have made a few book sales, but... Well, I'll keep trying. I've got other novels cooking. I'll double down my focus, maybe. I will sketch more. Maybe I'll reconsider using something like Patreon, which... don't love, but like. What can you love? Every site is screwing over creators in some way or another. :'( It's depressing, actually, bc I hop on facebook, and I can't see ANY posts of the people and groups I follow, but you know what I DO see? Fucking suggested pages for AI art. I really hope all the people who gentrified the tiny house movement get scammed into buying stupid fake tiny houses due to AI images and end up taking legal action eventually that helps to bring about the (hopefully inevitable) death of AI? I'm mean, but like, tiny houses and mobile homes and caravans and shit like that were houses before rich people decided they were cute and they went up to $200k-$300k. I wanted a tiny house bc I thought, "at least I might someday afford this" but nah. They took even that away. So enjoy your shitty "this is perfect for me" gushing when the fucking pillows are melted into the planks and the switches for the oven and stovetop are underneath the burners! Anyway! I should probably do more writing and take my anemic ass to bed soon. It's been... a shitty couple of days. I'm trying to be cheerful and remain optimistic and just boost Geckos, Automata... but eh. I'm also trying to survive when everything is against that. I had a suicidal thought earlier today that I should just gulp down all the pills I can get my hands on and be done with things. yay. (I won't. It was a passing thought. A desperate "oh god I can't afford to live and I should give up, I'm in my late 30s and nothing ever gets better" thought.)

Helloo- I'ma type out au ideas I have made cause yes u-u

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆▪︎☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Wrenlilah: Delilah died by Springtrap pushing her into his suit, Getting springlocked, And now has spent many years with him. In the future, When William finally makes an illusion disc for him, Delilah asks for a "special" one, So she can appear as a twin sister of William, Wren. William agreed, And Delilah uses the illusion disc if she wants to roam around on her own

Random potential au ideas: Cassie is Elizabeth's soul - Gregory is a mix of CC and Michael's soul - Michael is still a corpse with only half of his soul still attached to it - Cassidy, Andrew, And Jeremy possess the Mimic - Vanessa is Clara's soul - Susie and Fritz are the princess - Vanny is Kerrigan - Glitchtrap/Burntrap is William, He gets an illusion disc to appear human, Gets back with Vanessa/Clara - Charlie and Henry possess Glamrock Freddy - Sammy possesses Glamrock Bonnie - Vanessa/Clara adopted Cassie/Elizabeth and Gregory/CC/Michael

1985 survival: William survived the springlock and Henry had to rush him to the hospital, Glitchtrap had infested by William at this time too because Cassidy created him to torture William since their plan to kill him failed. Glitchtrap ended up making William kill more people though so he was lured to the springlock suit and forced inside it by the spirits, Killed this time, Though Glitchtrap kept him just on the edge of life for this whole time

Future - It continues: William didn't change. Nor did Vanessa or Kerrigan. It's the same as my main just with the fact they kill.

Future - It continues (2): William didn't change. Nor did Vanessa or Kerrigan. It's the same as my main just with the fact they kill. Added Morra and Flare!

Future - Fighter kid: Mary was killed by Kerrigan. | 1983 - Fighter kid: Mary was the second victim of William's.

(SWAP) Future: Henry was the killer, He's changed. William doesn't forgive or like him. | (SWAP) Future - It continues: Henry didn't change, Nor Vanessa. William haunts Henry alongside Cassidy, Andrew, Elizabeth, Evan, Delilah, Cindy, Mary, And Kelsey

Mikevictim: Cassidy(Chica mask) was a very vengeful child, And always hated how Michael treated CC. So one day, She fought him, And had enough. So she brought him to Fredbear, And shoved his head in the mouth. Michael survived, Being the guard in SL, And CC died of a heartattack because of the nightmares seeing the event gave him. (Based on a cai rp)

(SWAP) Milevictim: Henry had 3 kids, Sammy(Foxybro), Michael(CC), And Charlie. Charlie died to Circus Baby, Michael died to Fredbear, Sammy became to SL guard

Vanbeth: (This most likely won't be used) ) If the hw2 Vanny ending is canon, Assuming that was Vanny getting rid of Glitchtrap from her life. Glitchtrap could look towards Elizabeth for "help", She'd agree, And the William and make her an illusion disc to appear as an adult, So she could work at the Pizzaplex, And go around as Vanny.

Millie Afton: Born either as Kerrigan's twin, Or the child Mrs. Dean had with a man she married after Michael died. She would have survived/escaped Funtime Freddy(Prototype) and survived untill she was 21, Dying on the job as a police officer.

Kerricent: Millie and Kerrigan at the same people. She survived Ft. Freddy(Prototype), Became a police officer, Had Vanessa, Before leaving the force and working alongside Vanessa in the future, Getting corrupted, And helping Glitchtrap while Vanessa was stuck as the princess.

Kerricent - The Quest: Everything is the same, Expect Vanessa isn't the princess and she is.

2006 - Fazbear Frights: Millie and Sarah are alive here, And it's really only them in this one. Millie survived Ft Freddy(Prototype) with the exchange of her parents life. Sarah had found Eleanor, But it won't be untill collage she wants to change her appearance fully. As of now, She has got Eleanor to change her body to be feminine (MTF) and that's it. Millie lives on her own, Her grandparents live nearby though and check on her every so often. Millie has a job and does mostly everything on her own, While her grandparents pay the bills to her parents house (They bought the house to Millie could stay there since she didn't want to leave and they worked out a solution). Millie would had died on duty, When she became a police (21 y/o), And Sarah would have died due to Eleanor (Used)

Clara = Funtime Chica: In this au, Clara possessed Funtime Chica after she died as Ballora wasn't created yet.

Clara = Funtime Chica & Ballora: Same thing, Expect after Ft Chica was decommissioned and Ballora was made, She went on to possess her

Past to future/Future to past: I was thinkin that Astrid could have orignally been in the past (2006), But since my world is connected with well, Magic n stuff, I could say she found a being with powers, And had them bring her and her family to the future (Where the story would actually take place)- BuT then I thought, Now I duno if this would somehow mess up the story cause Google is dumb and didn't tell if anything happened to Astrid due to Nexie- BuT- I was thinkin she could have been in the future orignally, And Nexie had powers, Bringing Astrid and her family to the past as some curse or somethin

Eleanor = Nexie (Future to past): Nexie is a form of Eleanor, Seeing as Eleanor "sort of" has powers? Even if it's just an illusion disc

Cassibeth: Elizabeth and Cassidy being the same people. Elizabeth died to Circus Baby and had her soul spilt so she also went onto possess Golden Freddy. And once she began seeing other souls, And found out their killer was her father, She became angry and vengeful towards him

Future to past (2): Nexie had a curse, And a few days after Astrid tried fixing Nexie, She was transported to the past !without! her family (2006). She was found by Millie and Millie took her in, Caring her for like an older sister would.

Marytrap: Mary(1983 AU) possesses Glitchtrap to get revenge for her death

MWD-trap: Mary, William, And Delilah possess Glitchtrap

Hayduke Day 32: I wake up and @artemis_hikes @heavyteva and @twigadventures have already left. They’re planning on taking the low route to bypass the snow in Bryce Canyon National Park. I, for some reason, have decided “It will be cool to hike the entire Under-the-Rim Trail” in Bryce. This is technically also the Hayduke Trail (the low route is an alternate) but honestly, who cares what the Hayduke Trail is at this point? At a certain point in the trail you accept the Hayduke is more an idea than a line on a map. Unfortunately, for me, the decision to stick to the Under-the-Rim Trail turns out to be a frustrating one. Not only is the southern half of the trail not nearly as scenic as the northern portion I hiked through yesterday, but it’s also (mostly) under snow. The trail goes up to nearly 9,000 ft / 2,743 m and there’s no shortage of snow. There are no footprints to be found and I break trail for most of the morning (I hoped it would freeze overnight to prevent this), postholing and screaming into the abyss all the way. It’s reminiscent of the postholing in the Henry Mountains a couple of weeks ago except this time instead of following a flat road covered in snow, I’m following a thin trail that winds in and out of drainages along a steep slope. What I lack in secure footing I make up for in posthole madness. And this time instead of postholing up to my knees, I’m up to nearly my waist. Slow going. Lots of yelling. When I finally make it down below the snow for the final time of the day I need water. The problem is I’m filtering with iodine and need to find a source that isn’t sediment-filled or silty. Things go…okay. I’m not going to die, but there’s a chance I’ll be ingesting something my body will be unhappy about later. I make it surprisingly far today despite waking up late and struggling with the snow. Tomorrow I'll be passing the highway where I'll be tempted to hitchhike into town (Kanab) but I've got plenty of food so my next stop will instead be Jacob Lake just north of Grand Canyon National Park.   Day: Dixie National Forest to Lick Wash Distance: 27.87 mi / 44.85 km Elevation gain: 3,104 ft / 946 m #hayduketrail #utahbackpacking

WHEN YOU PROPOSES TO HIM FT. LUCIFER, MAMMON, AND LEVIATHAN

. content warnings: fluff, tooth rotting fluff is what i'd like to call it, but it's kinda hurt/comfort lol. marriage proposal, obvi, this is romantic, i'm sorry,

. headcanon format: drabbles

. taglist: click here to be added!

. note: hey, sorry i disappeared. i moved and mid-terms plus school in general has been rough lol. but i got 82% on math which was great! anyway, enjoyy <333

LUCIFER, THE AVATAR OF PRIDE

the last thread that kept him together from all of the stress he had to endure. that's what you are to him. a person holding pieces of him as a whole so he won't be such the mess he is deep inside.

and you've been that precious to him for so long, and so naturally, he wanted you to be more. he'd only prepared the best for you though. and quality takes time, effort, and energy that's why it took months for him to even finish planning it.

it was very unusual for him to be the indecisive one but this is about his and your relationship, it has to be special.

"will you marry me?"

lucifer was so surprised he almost dropped down to his knees. he doesn't know what to feel.

of course, he's delighted to know you desire him as much as he does you, and while he said yes to your question, he's also definitely going to have a grudge of some sort.

but he didn't just plan a very fancy, very pricey dinner for his very special proposal only for you to do it first and so lovingly ruined everything.

lucifer loves you through the sun and back but he's still had some pride in him, y'know?

MAMMON, THE AVATAR OF GREED

"mammon, let's get married."

genuine tears of joy are running down his face. He cannot even begin to describe how happy he is, he would run around all three realms time and time again if he weren't leaping into your arms already.

are you serious? this can't be a joke, right? you wouldn't be that cruel. but then again, he couldn't help but be a little self-conscious despite all the pride and joy he felt at the moment. what if this was a prank? and even if it isn't, would you even be happy with him? he's nothing but a—

"i love you." you love his smile and you adore his voice, you whispered.

you said that you love the way he talks, and you think his little sulk and pout are cute. you love the weird way he is affectionate and love the way he'd always drag you to his antics that'll surely annoy his brothers, and you've always dreamed of spending the rest of your immortality alongside him.

and as you utter even more appreciation and assurance to his ears, even more tears slid down the apple of his cheeks whilst he held you even tighter, in his warm, secure embrace.

LEVIATHAN, THE AVATAR OF ENVY

to him, it was just another day after you come home from work and the two of you were spending time together watching anime.

nothing special, just enjoying one another's presence, listening to the soft whirr of his aquarium water filter and the occasional burps of bubbles from henry when you suddenly cupped his face and says;

"thank you."

with your eyes full of adoration and a beautiful smile, you just made his heart drop.

this simply cannot be the first time you ever appreciated him, yet, it is the first time it ever felt this special. and he doesn't even know what is it you're thanking him for. thus his eyes widened, and their orange hue glistened with sparks of nervousness and excitement at the same time as red dusted his soft cheeks.

you took a deep breath and continue, "thank you, for loving me.", you say, "thank you, for staying with me, for keeping up with me up until now," your face starts to go hotter as he does,

"and thank you for being you, leviathan." you let go of his face to hold, to cradle his hand instead.

"you are everything I've ever wished for and I could never deserve, but" his breath hitched and words stuck in his throat when your hand pulled out a small velvet box into your palm,

"will you let me be selfish and be mine for eternity?"

An emotional and sporadic Newsies UK description for those unable to watch.

This is going to be a long one.

As you walk in there is theming under the stalls, like 'strike' signs. If you are sitting in Mahatten you walk up a staircase to a pathway. The stage is huge with the scaffolding in the centre. Above the audience, fire escapes span the walls, which are also themed. There is so much on the set from the scaffolding to a Santa Fe sign, hammocks, newspapers, washing lines, and a large window. One newspaper is lying on the stage with a spotlight

ACT ONE

The Overture begins, but the Santa Fe prologue doesn't start the show. Race picks up a pape with a spotlight as he smokes his cigar. He calls the newsies down. The Newsies begin pouring up the stairs into the walkway of Manhatten seating and alongside the stage. Henry ziplines across the audience and onto the stage. The newsies do a dance number and sell papes, trying to sell them to the audience too. A man comes along with a cart of fruit. Buttons steals an apple, as Ike distracts the man, and they give it to Tommy boy. The newsies then fall asleep across the scaffolding and hammocks.

Santa Fe Prologue begins at the top of the scaffolding. Jack's 'penthouse' has a lot more theming from having a little roof he made to small art pieces. The song is done very similarly to Newsies on Broadway.

Carrying the Banner begins and there are Newsies EVERYWHERE. Race gets his cigar which he continues to smoke the entire show. Newsies get ready throughout the audience, grabbing clothes from the washing lines and putting them on across the audience. If you are sat at the front of your section, they sing directly at you, which is amazing until you are crying and make eye contact with them. The choreography is on another level and seeing the newsies running across the audience pathways and staircases is like nothing I've ever seen. The nuns also appear from the stairs in Manhatten and walk down to the stage. They are carrying boxes and handing out coffee and rosary beads. Splasher sits alone on the edge of the stage looking upset and a Newsie hands him food and he cheers up.

When the song ends, after a very long applause, Wiesel comes down from 50+ft above on a platform with his newspapers. The Newsies buy their papers and walk along the pathways, asking the audience who wants a paper and giving them out.

The Bottom Line begins with newsies taking naps across the theatre and stage with their caps over their faces. Pulitzer’s desk comes out and is on a small platform made of stacks of newspapers. They lie there the entire song. A chandelier comes down and hangs above the desk where Pulitzer sits.

After the song, Snyder appears and chases Davey, Les, and Jack who run across the audience and the fire escapes. The chase ends with Jack sliding down a large slide into Medda's theatre. The set has lights that read out her name. Jack shows his paintings and all the paintings are different to the ones on Broadway minus the Pulitzer standing on the newsies painting.

That's Rich is now a dance number with the bowery beauties. One of the Bowery beauties takes a big pink feather from their costume and sticks it to Les’ cap. The Newsies sit on the floor by the stage and watch the show. During the song Medda says “hey baby, I was just talking about you” and points to the newsies on the floor and they argue over who Medda was talking about.

I Never Planned On You/ Don't Come A-knocking has the newsies dancing with spotlights surrounding the bowery beauties as they dance. Again, it has much more dancing than Newsies on Broadway.

Katherine walks across the fire escapes in the audience and watches the entirety of The World Will Know.

In Jacobi's when Jack asks who will take Brooklyn, all the newsies hide and two newsies put their bags over their head and sit there unmoving. Katherine walks down from the fire escape and onto the stage.

Watch What Happens has the newsies bringing out Katherine's desk but not a lot of change happens here. At one point Katherine puts her feet up on the table whilst singing. Having her watch The World Will Know makes a lot more sense for the story and her motivation. Is now the time to mention how incredible Bronté Barbé is?

Katherine also watches Seize The Day, this time as she takes notes. During Jacks speech the newsies face and audience. Crutchie holds onto his rosemary beads necklace and prays to himself. Seize The Day is 2 parts and probably double the length. The choreography and amount of tumbling is insane. Jack and Davey dance too, unlike on Broadway. The talent it took to choreograph and perform the number is phenomenal. Newspapers fall from the sky and also get thrown into the audience by the newsies. In the middle of the song, the Newsies do a role call, shouting out their names. Henry gets thrown into the air and tears a paper in half. Nothing I say can do this number justice. I can't remember a lot of it because I was watching through tears. This number often gets at least one standing ovation.

Newsies rip up papers and throw stacks of them to the ground. The fight with the bulls seemed a lot harsher and involved Les grabbing onto a rope and getting lifted 20+ft into the sky and shouting for help.

Santa Fe is also similar minus, behind Jack, a bright yellow light looking like the sun forming and slowly getting brighter throughout the song. Micheal Aelahomka is so incredibly talented and the ending note was breathtaking.

ACT TWO

The King of New York involves a lot more tables and dancing. Les gets his own tap solo. The newsies use the tables as cars and drive them around with plates as steering wheels. Lights come from the ceiling towards the end and Newsies grab onto them and spin. The lights begin to rise and Newsies swing above the audience. The number ends with Katherine putting on a statue of liberty looking crown made of spoons and holding an apple.

Letter From The Refuge is such a jarring shift from The King Of New York and it works so well. Crutchie is alone on a bed in the middle of the stage with a couple of newsies lying beside him. Mike is one of them and lays with his head on Jojo’s stomach. Crutchie’s eye is covered in a red/black bruise and bruises are visible across his body. As he sings, Snyder and another man watch down on him from both ends of the stage on the scaffolding. It is eery as you may not notice them at first, but they are there the entire time. After the song ends a newsie wakes up and helps to carry Crutchie out.

Watch What Happens Reprise doesn't have a lot of changes and the only thing I recall of The Bottom Line Reprise ends with the newsies pushing out Pulitzer and his desk into darkness and fog.

Brooklyn's Here begins, and a group of girls stand at the stairs of Manhatten. The girls are Brooklyn (!!!!) and they changed lyrics, such as 'That's our cue, girls, it's time to go slummin' and 'we're the girls from the beaches of Brighton'. The Brooklyn newsies go down onto the stage and dance. Spot sang into a little girls face during our perform. The newsies stand with signs of the names of the audience areas, such as the Bronx, Flushing, and Manhatten. After the song, we are introduced to Spot Conlon who is one of the girls we saw.

Something To Believe in didn't have any changes that I noticed.

Once And For All has newsies walking across fire escapes across the walls and on the pathways, carrying lanterns. This is the first time the theatre is ever fully dark. The papers are thrown between the newsies in front of the audience. The slide is used as Newsies slide onto the stage. Toward the end, two newsies swing above the stage (Mike and Mack), throwing newspapers down to the audience. The song ends with the children’s crusade newspaper falling from the sky and hanging in front of the entirety of the scaffolding. A large silhouette of Jack shines behind it.

As the Newsies, including Brooklyn, surround Pulizer's office, they are stood across the fire escapes along the walls. They are everywhere you look and staring down threateningly to Pulitzer as they punch their hands and slam their fists.

Finale seemed to have a lot more dancing too. Crutchie appears wearing a policeman hat and arrests Snyder wearing it. Katherine puts on a Newsies hat that matches her dress and dances alongside the newsies for the number. The show ends with a Brooklyn girl tumbling across the stage as she lays the newspaper that started the show back in the centre.

The show is incredible and the most magical theatre experience I have ever had, and I can't imagine anything will ever beat it.

Day 3: Overcome / Vanity 🪞🕸️ (Inspired by the song: Mirror ft. Henri Werner, Krysta Youngs)

Part of my Occult AU -- In celebration of Halloween, Ichigo and friends decide that it would be a spooky good time to visit Urahara's Antique Shop and buy a "cursed object," to see if any of the old myths are true.

You’ll Find A Rough Script About This AU Under The Cut!

The plan is that each one of his classmates is supposed to choose an object from the shop and "try out" their own ritual at home and then report back the following day to see if the spell was legit or not.

While browsing the menagerie of oddities, Ichigo comes across an old hand mirror among the dusty, cluttered shelves and is instantly drawn to it.

"What did you pick, Kurosaki-kun," Orihime asks, her arms clasped behind her back. The boy shows off the ornate mirror to the redhead, her cute blushing face reflected back at her. "Oh, pretty,” She giggles, “Somehow, I get a creepy feeling from it." “Then, I am definitely buying this one. Thanks,” Ichigo smirks, heading towards the counter where Urahara is keeping a trained eye on him.

That night while examining the mirror, Ichigo finds a hidden scroll inside the handle. He waits til 3:33am as per the instructions, looks into the mirror and speaks the incantation aloud. Minutes pass, he tries the words again (maybe he mispronounced something), but nothing happens.

He goes to bed disappointed, but what Ichigo fails to realize is that he actually did summon Shiro. The white demon is hiding in the mirror, watching silently, keeping his presence a secret. Shiro takes his time haunting the organette day by day. Sometimes, Icihigo will hear a crack, like something breaking, or thump of something falling, but he can never pinpoint what it is because everything looks normal when he goes to check.

Sometimes, shadows creatures will pass across the walls in his house. Sometimes, things move or disappear. Sometimes, Ichigo catches a pale image of himself in the rain, in the glass of a window. He thinks that it's all just his mind playing tricks.

Yuzu is getting really unnerved by all these shenanigans. Karin thinks it's cool that their house is haunted now.

Isshin, who is more spiritually inclined than his son at this point, starts to notice something is amiss and asks Ichigo if he's sensed anything out of the ordinary.

Icihigo denies it and keeps the mirror wrapped up and hidden in a drawer.

As the end of October nears, Ichigo’s friends are still investigating curses and once again visit Urahara's shop. "Have you been getting enough sleep, kid,” Urahara asks, “You don't look so good." Ichigo nearly screams in terror at the feeling of the man’s hand on his shoulder.

“Yeah, I am fine,” he says, quickly smoothing over his reaction, “All this ghost stuff is kinda making me jumpy.”

“Haha, I guess so,” the shopkeeper laughs, a cryptic edge to his voice, “Though, I must say I am surprised that no one in your little group has been able to conjure up a real life ghost yet. I guess all these ancient relics are nothing, but junk afterall. Sorry kid, no refunds.”

Later that night, Ichigo hears a voice calling out to him and he freaks out when he discovers that the source is coming from inside the mirror.

Shiro has been feeding on the boy's fear and has built up enough vitality that he can finally reveal himself and explain what's been going on.

The demon tells the boy that he could not have been summoned without a powerful psychic, one he’s compatible with and that once summoned, he can travel anywhere so long as there's reflective surface around.

He assures Ichigo that he can only take life energy from the one who invoked his services so, his family and friends are safe.

He continues to tell the teen that he's almost strong enough to leave the glass prison that he's been stuck in, that he just needs a little more (a kiss) and he'll be set free. (and here is where the the art comes in so, this is where I am ending it for now. I hope you enjoyed reading up to this point. If I ever find the time, I might flesh this out into a full-fledged fic).

Morning Sunrise ft. Beel and Belphie

A fic about the brothers and you get a free day in a spa hotel. On paper, it sounds great but not everything is going as planned.

Will the twins still get to enjoy their birthday even when it seems that everything is ruined?

Read on to find out.

  I hear a knock on my door. I open it to find Levi. "Hey Levi, can I help you with anything?" 

"Well, I have a huge problem." He looks very distraught. 

Then he starts to rummage through his pocket and pulls some tickets out. "I won these tickets in a raffle. Sadly they are completely useless to me. They are for a day and night in a spa, for three people. Well, you can probably see the issue. First of all, I don't even have that many friends and it's in a region without wifi. Then there is a concert that weekend that I simply can't miss." Levi dumps all this information on me. 

"I would have gone with you. You have Solomon and Henry. I mean any of your brothers would come too." I feel bad for Levi. 

"That is so kind of you." His eyes sparkle. "You are a true friend!" Levi smiles gleefully at me. 

"Sadly that concert is still more important to me. So I want to give these to you." Levi is holding the tickets for me. 

"That is very nice of you. I will pay you back with some anime merchandise from the human world." I graciously take the tickets from Levi. 

"That is super fair. There is a ton of stuff that I need." Levi agrees and leaves me alone. 

  I check the date it's on the night before the twins’ birthday. This is the perfect opportunity for a little early birthday celebration. 

   I already have gifts for them so this is only a bonus. Well, if they are up for it. 

  I head to their room right away. 

  I knock and hear someone say. "Come in."

I'm sure it's Beel. 

  I open the door. Belphie looks at me with a sleepy expression while Beel smiles at me. 

"Hey you two, I have a question about your birthday." I get straight to the point. 

"Sure, ask whatever you want." Beel sounds very enthusiastic. 

"Yeah, as long as it's not too tiresome." Belphie is still half asleep. 

"Levi gave me tickets for a day and night in a spa for three people. It's on the day before your birthday and I thought it would be great if we could go." With a big smile, I show them the tickets. 

"That kind of sounds like a pain. I mean we have to travel to get to the place." Belphie sounds not really in the mood for it. 

"They got this great spa massage that is said to give you the best sleep ever and they also got an enormous buffet." Luckily enough I know just the right thing to motivate him, and I also throw something out there that will make Beel happy too. 

"Oh, that sounds great! I mean I wanted to go anyway since you can see the stars very well up there at night." Beel seems to drool for a moment. 

"Haha that's so you Beel, but it sounds pretty nice now that I think about it. We can celebrate our birthday morning in peace. It will be great." Belphie changes his tune rather quickly. 

"Great, I will get Lucifer's permission for us. I'm so excited!" I beam with happiness. A spa day to relax just sounds perfect. 

"Yeah, it will be fun. I'll make sure to thank Levi later." Beel is in a great mood. 

Even Belphie seems affected by it. "We just get him something anime-themed. That will make him happy."

  With that, everything is settled. 

Getting permission wasn't super easy but we did it in the end. 

  I only pack the bare minimum. It's a trip that will take a few hours after all. While the hotel is free the trip itself isn't so we travel cheaply. With a train and a bus. 

The journey is pretty pleasant, even when I nod off on the train. We had to start very early to get to the hotel in time. 

I lean on Beel's shoulder and Belphie takes two seats all by himself across from us. It's pretty comfortable. 

At breakfast time we have to stop Beel from buying the entire food cart but other than that it's a fun time. 

We eat at the train station before riding our bus into the mountains. 

I sit next to Belphie on the bus ride. He is sleeping on my shoulder this time. 

Beel and I talk about different topics. I have some plans at the spa for sure. 

The bus is a bit late but there's no issue. 

Once we arrive at our final stop I stretch my body. I'm all tense after the long ride.

  Belphie studies the map on the side of the road and groans loudly. "This looks like a real hike."

I look at the map, the hotel is on the top of the mountain and we have to walk. Probably gonna take us an hour or two. Luckily I'm prepared. "We knew this Belphie. Just think of the nice spa treatment as your victory price." I try my best to motivate him. 

"Yeah, and the nice food!" Beel doesn't lack motivation at least. 

Belphie sighs and shrugs. "I will do my best. In the worst case, one of you has to carry me."

"Good luck with that, Belphie." I laugh at that. 

"I'm sure you can do it." Beel gives him a friendly slap on the shoulder. 

"I guess I have no choice." He shakes his head and groans. Then he starts walking. 

Beel shrugs at me and we both laugh a little. 

"Are you coming? You snails!" Belphie turns around and teases us playfully. 

"I'll show you a snail!" I reply equally playful and speed up until I catch up with him. 

In the end, we all walk together along the path. 

It's more exhausting than I expected but the idea of a spa day is more than enough motivation for me. 

Belphie, on the other hand, looks like he suffers. 

"Are you alright?" Beel has a worried tone. 

"I'm fine." Belphie doesn't sound convincing. 

"I can carry you." Beel is worried. 

"I can still walk." Belphie wants to push on just a little bit longer. 

"Don't push yourself. Oh, look, that sign there means we are about halfway there." I point ahead to a fork in the road. 

Beel looks at the sign. "Yeah, maybe we can take a short break then." 

We've made good progress and are pretty much on time. "Sounds good to me. Let me check the map, I think there is a nice spot just a little bit ahead."I get the map from my side pocket. 

"You don't need to do that just for me." Belphie doesn't want to be a bother to us. 

"I'm getting hungry so I need a break." Beel is mostly concerned about what is best for everyone. 

"In the guide, it said from the rest spot just a little bit ahead we have a great view of the hotel. I would like to see that." I chime in support of Beel and to give us all a well-deserved rest. 

"I guess I have no choice. Let's take a break." Belphie shrugs with a smile. He knows very well that he needs a break but is too proud to admit that.

  We find the spot just a little bit ahead of the path. 

It's a very nice spot with a great view not just of the hotel but also the surrounding nature. 

I look in awe of the beautiful landscape. 

Beel enjoys the snacks we have packed and Belphie has decided to take a quick nap. 

It's a very peaceful scene. It makes me smile to see them both so relaxed. 

Then I feel a slight chill in the air. I notice some dark clouds on the horizon.

  "That looks pretty bad." Almost as to confirm my bad feeling, Beel speaks up. 

"Yes, we need to move asap. Have you eaten enough?" I worry about his huge appetite. 

"I can eat while we walk. What about you, Belphie?" Beel tries to wake Belphie up. 

He groans. "What is going on?" 

"It looks like there is a storm coming," I say in an alert tone. 

"Huh, I see, just give me a moment." Belphie gets slowly up. He seems pretty sluggish. 

Another gust of wind hits me, something wet touching my skin. “We need to hurry, it's already starting to rain.”

"You are right." Beel looks with a worried expression towards the ever darker sky. 

Belphie gets hit by some droplets of water and groans. "We should hurry." He seems to be fully awake now.

  I can only agree and so we hurry back to the path upwards of the mountain. 

The rain now really starting to hit us all and soon it's down pouring. 

It hits so hard the road is hard to see. 

I have never been so wet my entire life. 

We hurry our steps more, especially when thunder roars through the sky. 

It's coming down now. 

We had been prepared but certainly not enough. 

Then I see that Beel has come to a halt, just a little bit in front of me. 

Our path is blocked by a fallen tree.

  Belphie groans. "What are we supposed to do now? The path down is very far."

"Climbing it would be too dangerous too." The tree is huge and looks very slippery. 

"It looks like there are rocks and mud on the other side too so removing it would only cause us harm." Beel has already scouted the situation. 

"We have to take shelter from the rain. I saw a hut on the map, there should be a path right by marker 113." I have to speak loudly due to the rain and the wind picking up now too. 

"Let's see if we are at 114 so it should be behind us," Beel confirms the marker. 

"At least that's some good news. Let's get moving." Belphie seems very annoyed. I can't blame him.

  Beel and I can only agree. 

By now I'm entirely soaked. 

Still, there is no resting now. We silently walk back to the waymarker. 

Then suddenly something pushes me out of the way and something big crushes right next to me. 

Then I realize that a tree just fell inches away from me. I look surprised at the tree and then at Beel. Who has shoved me away.

  "Are you okay?" His face twists in pain and yet Beel is only worried about me. 

"Y-yeah but what about you?" I can see that he got hit. His cheek is bleeding and his shirt is torn right at the shoulder. The tree must've hit him there. 

"I'm good. Let's be careful." Beel acts like he is fine. I'm still worried. As soon as we hit shelter I will treat his wounds. 

We carefully move as fast as we can. The ground is slippery. 

"Beel stop pretending to be fine, you are limping." Belphie looks angrily at Beel. I look at him and notice that Belphie is right. 

The guilt is ripping my heart out. "Beel come lean on me. It will only get worse if you don't." I can't stand seeing him like this. 

"No, I'm too heavy for you." He bluntly refuses. 

"I'm too wet and tired for this Beel just lean on us both." Belphie doesn't take no for an answer. 

Beel sighs but doesn't refuse our help. "Fine."

"We should be there soon. Just hold on for a little bit longer." With that, I carefully take Beels injured side and Belphie takes his other side.

  Belphie takes the brunt of Beel's weight. 

I know he is much stronger than me but he still struggles. 

This slows us down even more but nobody complains at all. We all might get wet but we just focus on getting to safety. 

"There I can see the shelter." I can see a small hut in between the trees.

"Thank the demon lord." Belphie seems to be very relieved. 

"Just a little more and we can all rest," I say this mostly to Beel. 

Once we finally hit the small, but cozy and sturdy hut we are all very happy. 

Beel sinks to the ground, checking his leg. "It's not broken at least so with some bandages and rest I'll be as good as new by tomorrow morning. 

"That's good to hear. We got some wood so I'll make a fire." Belphie lights up the fireplace. 

"I will treat your injuries. Take your shirt off. It needs to dry anyway." I don't care much about being wet right now and get my first aid kit from my bag. 

"You should change into something dry first. If you stay like this we will have far bigger issues than my injuries." Beel looks at me with a stern voice. 

"He is right." Belphie is already half-naked. I turn around blushing. "Belphie, gee warn me when you do this." 

"There is no need to be shy. You should take a closer look while you can." At least Belphie hasn't lost his humor yet. 

I throw a towel at him. "No thank you, and you both better not peek while I change." I huff, slightly embarrassed. 

"It's not like you have anything we haven't seen yet." Belphie uses this chance to tease me. 

"Just be polite, Belphie. I'll make sure he doesn't look, don't worry." Beel encourages me greatly with his words. 

"Whatever. I will go and call the hotel for help and I won't look." Belphie shrugs.

  I turn around and undress my wet clothes. Luckily, we planned to stay the night.

I'm glad to be out of my wet clothes and quickly dress something dry. I dry my hair and then turn back to Beel, to finally treat his wounds.

He didn't even bother to wear a shirt yet, which makes it just a little bit harder for me. 

A bit embarrassed I treat his foot first. "It's a bit swollen. I will put some cream on it and a bandage. You should just take it easy for today unless it swells more we are fine." I give Beel a quick summary of my thoughts. 

"Yeah, that is what I'm thinking too. I'll be fine by morning." He wholeheartedly agrees. 

I hope he is right and carefully start to apply the cream. Beel slightly winces from the pain. I feel very bad for him. "Just a little more." I wrap the bandage around his foot, ankle, and a bit up his leg. "There we go."

Beel moves his food a bit. "Much better, thank you so much." He smiles gratefully at me. 

"No problem, now I will clean your other wounds." I get the disinfectant and bandaids out. 

Beel looks with great discomfort to the disinfectant. He doesn't like how it stings. 

"I know you hate it but you know it has to be done. If you keep still I will treat you with your favorite chocolate bar." I'm being a bit playful, trying to cheer him up more than anything else. 

"I will be good then!" Beel is instantly motivated by the prospect of chocolate. It's so cute that it makes me chuckle. 

"Have you my favorite too?" At that moment Belphie comes back.

"Sure, I love those too after all. I actually got a value pack with all our favorites." I had planned to surprise them both on the trip back, but due to our current circumstances now is a better time. 

"Oh, nice. Can I get them out of the bag? All this running made me kinda hungry." Belphie seems pretty chipper again. 

"Sure, but what did the hotel say?" I'm pretty curious about that. I start to carefully disinfect Beel’s arm while I wait for Belphies answer.

"They can't get to us with this storm raging but they are sure it will be gone by tomorrow. They were very sorry about the whole situation. It sounds like they will greatly extend our stay." This explains Belphie's great mood. 

"Won't the others be disappointed if we aren't back by tomorrow evening?" Beel seems conflicted. 

"They will survive, plus we might just do it another time anyway. The hotel will likely give us some vouchers or something." Belphie doesn't sound concerned at all. 

"Lucifer won't let us miss a couple of days of school anyways." I put a few bandaids on Beels shoulder and then start to disinfect his cheek. 

None of the injuries are deep, this gives me great relief. 

Belphie sighs. "Too bad really. How are your injuries?" 

"I'm fine." Just then Beel winces from the disinfectant. 

"Hold still." I can't work well with him moving around. 

"Sorry." Beel mumbles. 

Belphie has pulled out the bag of sweets. "Talk about a big stash of goods. You put Beel to shame." Belphie gives me a light chuckle. 

"Not really, about 90 percent of my backpack was stuffed with food." Beel is eyeing the sweets. 

"At least we won't starve." Belphie shakes his head.

"At least he didn't bring an extra pillow." I put a bandaid on Beels cheek. "There all done."

"Hey, I need that extra pillow and tonight you will be grateful that I also packed a blanket." Belphie buffs slightly. 

"Ahh, thank the demon lord. Now I can eat!" Beel is just glad he doesn't have to sit still anymore. 

He gives me and Belphie a fair share of treats before starting to shove chocolate into his mouth.

  Belphie eats his portion with much enjoyment. 

I suddenly start to shiver. "Now that I think about it. How are we going to sleep here tonight?" I haven't packed a blanket. 

"I suppose we all share my pillow and blanket. It will be tight but we will be warm that way." Belphie shrugs like it's no big deal at all. 

"Kinda like a sleepover in one bed." Beel doesn't look fazed at all either.

They both are probably used to this, meanwhile, I'm not. 

"Are you saying that we should all cuddle up under one blanket?" It's pretty embarrassing to me, I blush. 

"Yeah, unless you want to catch a cold." Belphie smirks at me. 

"There is no way I will let that happen." Beel seems to agree with Belphie. 

"Will we even all fit under that blanket?" I can't imagine that. 

"Let me show you." Belphie pulls his backpack towards him and produces his pillow and a huge blanket. 

My eyes widen and I gasp from the surprise. "How did you fit that in there?!"

"Magic, of course." Belphie is very amused. 

Of course, it was magic. Pretty stupid question of me.

  Belphie spreads the blanket out and I can see that it will fit all of us without issues. 

Beel wraps the blanket around himself, with a bit of help from Belphie. 

There is definitely plenty of space for me and Belphie left.

  "As much as I'd love for you to be in the middle, we have to use Beel as our heater." Belphie seems slightly frustrated by this.

"It's kinda mean to refer to Beel as a heater but I'm fine with this." There aren't many other choices anyway. "More importantly, are you fine laying in the middle with your shoulder being injured?" I'm still very worried about him. 

"It's fine he isn't wrong and it doesn't hurt that much anyway. I'm more worried that me and Belphie somehow squish you when we sleep." Beel is as usual mostly concerned about anyone but himself. 

"Yeah, that would be terrible, as unlikely as that might be." Belphie seems troubled by the thought too. 

"Alright, but if you have pain you have to promise to tell us." I look with a stern face at Beel. 

Beel nods. "I will."

"Alright then, I'm tired so I will get comfortable now." Belphie yawns very loudly, it's a surprise he even lasted this long. He then proceeds to sit right next to Beel and without a second thought he snuggles up to him. 

Beel doesn't even bat an eye. I'm used to Belphie doing the same thing to me so it's not that odd. 

I again start to shiver. 

"Come here, you need to warm up." Beel is very worried about my health. It would be very bad if I catch a cold. "You are right." I carefully move next to Beel, making sure I don't hit his shoulder. 

He wraps the blanket around me. It's very warm, helped by Beels natural heat. 

"You can move closer." Beel encourages me with a soft voice. 

There is very little space between us even now. I still take his offer and scoot closer. My side is now touching him. I'm very aware of our closeness. 

Beel puts his arm around me, erasing any distance between us. 

I feel embarrassed but it's very comfortable so I settle down pretty quickly. 

"Does it hurt?" I want to make sure that Beel is also comfortable. 

"Hm? No, not at all." Beel seems almost surprised by my question. Has he forgotten about his injury already?

"Hey, can you hand me some of the snacks?" Belphie sounds like he is already half asleep. 

"Hold on." A bit reluctant to leave my comfortable spot and reach out to grab the package of sweets.

"Thanks." Belphie eats one of his favorites with a gleeful smile. Then he grabs another one. "Here Beel for you." He can tell that Beel is still hungry.

"Very nice of you." Beel eats it with glee. 

I take a turn and feed Beel next, while also grabbing one for myself. 

Belphie and I repeat this a couple of times.

  Then Belphie yawns again, very loudly. 

I admit that I'm feeling pretty sleepy myself. The warmth of the blanket and the stress of the day finally seem to catch up with me. I yawn almost in unison with Belphie. 

"We should all rest for a while." Beel makes a very good point. 

"I agree." Belphie seems to be already half asleep. 

"Sleep well." I get more comfortable at Beels side.

  Soon I hear Belphie softly snoring. I, on the other hand, just can't find any rest. I try to focus on the sound of the Storm. My thoughts keep on coming back to feeling guilty. I know it's not really my fault but I'm still sad about possibly ruining their birthday. 

I sigh quietly. 

"Is something wrong?" Beel speaks in a hushed tone. 

"I just can't relax." I feel bad for bothering Beel. 

"Sorry, it's not very comfortable." He seems to think this is somehow his fault. 

"No, that's not it. I just feel bad about today." I admit while whispering. 

"But this is still pretty nice. I mean we are all safe and together." Beel speaks softly. 

"Isn't this a bad way to start your birthday?" I just wanted them to have a nice day but now we are all stuck in a small hut. 

"I can only speak for myself, but I'm with the people that I love the most and I can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday."I can hear Beels smile in his voice. This comforts me greatly. 

"He is right." Belphie chimes in, sounding more asleep than awake. 

"Thank you both." I smile and relax a bit.

  As long as they are happy I'm happy. 

I can feel Beel squeeze me just a bit closer towards him. 

After a while, the sound of both boys soft breathing and the sound of the rain on the roof lull me to sleep. 

At some point, I wake up and realize it's the next morning. 

I'm still curled up in the blanket. Now on the floor and sharing Belphies pillow. I feel a bit drowsy when I get up. Belphie is still asleep. 

I can't see Beel anywhere. I sit up and look around.

  My movements wake Belphie up. "Hm? Is it morning already?" He still seems to be more asleep than awake. 

"Happy birthday Belphie." I smile at his sleepy face. 

"Thanks, do I get a birthday kiss?" He smiles at me in a teasing manner. 

"Maybe later." I can only shake my head at this comment. "I will go look for Beel." Slowly I get up. 

I hear Belphie moving around. "Hold on, I'm coming."

Belphie gets up, sluggishly. 

I grab my now dry coat and wait for Belphie at the door. 

We head outside and I see Beel checking on the surrounding area. 

"Good morning Beel." I get his attention. 

"Good morning." He smiles. 

"Happy birthday." I congratulate him with a big smile. 

"Thank you." He smiles back at me and then notices Belphie behind me, "Happy birthday Belphie." 

"Happy birthday Beel. How is the road looking?" Belphie stretches. 

"It looks pretty fine. We should get help soon enough. Let's have some breakfast while we wait." Beel seems to be hungry again. 

"Sure." Suddenly I notice the sun bursting through the clouds, flooding everything in the beautiful morning light. I look at it in awe. "Wow, this is so beautiful."

"It's hard to believe that it was so miserable here yesterday." Belphie looks at the sky with a smile. 

"It's very pretty. I'm glad we came here." Beel has a very gentle expression. 

"Let's eat out here and enjoy the sun." I think this is the best idea. 

"Sounds perfect." Belphie agrees right away. 

"Good that I haven't eaten all I brought yet." Beel smiles and heads back into the hut. 

"Can you bring the picnic blanket from my bag?" Belphie seems to have blankets for all occasions in his bag.

Beel nods and soon comes back with a blanket and food. There's plenty for everyone. 

We all get comfortable and start our breakfast. 

"I think this might be the best birthday we've had in quite a while." Belphie smiles at me. 

"I agree," Beel says in the middle of chewing his food. 

I smile at both of them. "Next year we will make it even better."

With that, we all smile and look over the surprisingly great view.

Street Dance of China, Season 4, Episode 7

- The figures make a return!!! I love them, they are so cute.

- Anyway, it’s cute that each of the teams have kind of a common room to chill. Helps with the team atmosphere, I think.

- Yixing playing the flute/pipe that has a gourd at the top. I recall seeing a video where he’s played it before, so the production crew probably got it so that he could show off a bit.

- The fact that Han Geng’s having a cooking class is just reaffirming my beliefs that Han Geng would be the best captain to have if I was a contestant. They have the most fun.

- Yibo is so super serious though. While the other teams are chilling, he’s already thinking of his redemption plan. I’ll be honest, it feels....a little too tense. As a captain, I think he needs to take time for his team to relax and regroup.

- My boy Yixing recruited my boy MT-Pop T_T He gave him the Baymax to accompany when he’s feeling lonely because apparently MT-Pop said that he missed home often T_T Also Yixing was watching for MT-Pop’s expression except he was emotionless and Poppin’C was like no, don’t worry, he’s always like this XD I thought that Baymax suited MT-Pop too because he likes monsters so I think it’s not a reach to guess that he likes superheroes and comics and cool characters. Also, like Baymax, MT-Pop is also friend-shaped. Anyway, I wonder if he was feeling emotional here because he missed home ;_;

- Yixing gave Momo the CUTEST cat lamp T_T

- In the captain interview, Momo asked Yixing if his stomach was alright. I saw in some behind-the-scenes photos that Yixing had a bad stomach that day, so I guess that was why he was so disappointed with his performance. I’d initially thought it was his back problems (because he was shown getting some back massages/chiropractic stuff done to his waist in other behind-the-scenes footage), but I think the back/waist stuff is something that’s been going on for a longer time.

- Lmao Nelson being like “I know girls, they love that cute stuff” XD And he noted how Momo seemed more comfortable with Yixing. To be fair, he’s onto something, I am girl and I love cute stuff and dudes that make me smile. (Though in the end, Momo chose Yibo)

- I thought it was cute that Momo was talking through the wall to MT-Pop, asking if he’d already chosen his team. I love the friendships between the dancer contestants v.v

- Yixing gave copies of his Lit physical album to the Gogo Brothers...all of the fans who couldn’t get their hands on a copy are gonna be mad haha.

- Yixing’s team tried to surprise Gogo Brothers when they joined their team ^^;;

- This is as wild as Yixing is going to go lol. He was waving the scarves being all “WOOHOO!!”

- Yixing and Han Geng’s teams shouting for Bozi across however many rooms made me laugh XD Especially because Bozi is such a stoic dude.

- Yixing’s relief at having recruited Bozi. As we know, he doesn’t have much confidence in recruiting dancers.

- When Bunta and Henry had their interview they were being all “HEYYY MY GUY!!!!” Very buddy-buddy. And then Henry to his team was like “I’ve never talked to Bunta.” The art of faking it gets you far.

- For the contestants who get to choose between two or more captains, they get an extra blind box with a little doll in it. I wonder what that is. It’s so cute, I want one v.v (I love dolls)

- The rejection on Han Geng’s face XD Is this the first time he’s been outplayed?

- In addition to getting everyone on his team to sign the card, Yixing also asked Rei from Gogo Brothers to come with him to recruit Bunta, and it worked in the end.

- Yixing turning the party into a concert being like “MAKE SOME NOISE!!!”

- Not gonna lie, the performances aren’t the best, probably because they’re just for funsies anyway. It doesn’t bother me that much though, at least they look like they’re having fun. As a wise man once said, fun must be always.

- OMG YES YIXING. He went full memery on this XD

- There’s so much going on here. The song they danced to was a famous song by Xiaohudui (a Taiwanese boyband). When questioned about their choice of music, Yixing was like “yeah, we’re an international boyband!” We know Yixing is super serious so the fact that they did this cheesy stuff is supremely surprising but also SUPER AWESOME. The other captains were like “you were too serious!” but the reason why this worked was because they were serious tbh. As Psy once said, dress classy, dance cheesy. Anyway, I’m a fan. Look at how fabulous they are.

- Yibo’s team danced to the Huluwa song. Look at Liangliang’s hair lol.

- You can’t see this very well but Bouboo carried Yibo away in a fireman’s hold.

- So this is how Han Geng’s gonna play it, huh

- There’s just A LOT going on here

- Henry getting lessons from Xiaoji on how to have swag (ft. Xiao Jie as the teaching assistant).

- Yixing kept being like “ge, watch the expression!!”

- You can tell who did and didn’t get their hair done just by looking at who is wearing the headphones properly. Also, I used to be super whatever about cat ear headphones, but now I am so down for them. I want a pair of cat ear headphones even though I never use headphones (prefer earphones).

- Ok this is cute. Xiao Jie is trying to explain the passage to Bouboo in English, but Xiao Jie’s English is a bit limited. At this part he was trying to explain a watermelon to Bouboo and was like “it’s an apple but it’s bigger and it’s green.” Han Geng and Yibo are just having a ball. Look at how big Yibo is laughing? Boy never laughs like that.

- Somehow Bouboo understood Xiao Jie’s English, and then Bouboo was like “your English is very Chinese” which prompted another round of laughs. He would know, he’s probably been around a lot of Chinese people trying to speak English to him.

- Yo, Rochka’s Mandarin pronunciation is REALLY good. He’s really good at replicating the tones.

- Henry, San’er, and Rochka turned their final answer into a song XD

- Yixing tried to game the system lol. Instead of reciting the whole passage, he picked the easiest words. It wasn’t totally perfect, but his method allowed the players to focus on key words instead of memorizing the small details and preposition words. Smartest catboi (y)

- We already knew Henry was good at piano (I know he has at least RCM Level 10, probably has his ARCT too), but he’s also appropriately showy about it.

- OMG ROCHKA SINGING 月亮代表我的心 (ft. Henry harmonizing)

- Now Boris!

- Of course this mf had to whip out the violin.

- Okay so I kept seeing that clip of Yixing dancing to the sexy dance with Ibuki and Qiao Zhi and I had no idea what it was from. NOW I KNOW.

- Henry is SO MEAN he keeps bullying C-Lil and telling him that if he doesn’t do well he has to go home. STOP BULLYING HIM!!!

- The captains keep roping in team members to do the dances with them haha.

- Waiwai was saying how she’s never seen Bozi and Qiao Zhi smile while breaking and yet they look like they’re having a ball learning the sexy dance.

- Yibo did some magic tricks. Something I’ve noticed is that Yibo is actually quite good at public speaking. He makes very few mistakes, barely uses any filler words. Anyway, his first magic trick didn’t quite work, but the rest of them did (y) 

- Han Geng performed a dance that he said he learned when he was very young. I remember when he was still doing stuff regularly with Super Junior, people would ask him to show off the ethnic dances that he’d studied. This performance was exactly that, plus some added shenaniganery at the end.

- I really liked Ma Xiaolong and Rochka’s performances. Ma Xiaolong is such a good singer? Like it’s not just the skill, but he has creativity when he sings. As for Rochka, his performance was just so much fun. He was a good singer too but he also brings such charisma.

- Really sorry to hear about Zyko’s sister :( I can’t be mad, he needs to go home. He looked so down too when he was calling Han Geng. All the best to his family :(  I did really love Zyko on the show. He was so open minded and so easygoing. All the best v.v

- I’m glad that the other contestants got to see him off (AC, Ibuki, Rochka, Ma Xiaolong). Rochka looked so sad. He strikes me as a sympathetic guy, so I don’t doubt that he was troubled by the news too.

- Not gonna lie, the news about Zyko kind of brought my mood down. It’s not that the show is “ruined,” it’s just the idea of his sister being so seriously hurt that’s hard swallow for me. I can’t believe how Zyko must be feeling. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to watch the rest of the show, I guess the news was just a stark reminder that we live in the real world.
