#Jasper Sharp

[am01-box]

May all problems be resolved soon and may Jasper live in peace🙏🥺

The setting is a dojo where Jasper teaches kendo to children.

There's no plot, no punchline😌

[eternal--returned]

Towards the end of his life, Rothko is said to have returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art almost every week to see an old friend: Rembrandt. He went specifically to see the 1660 self-portrait, to look into the eyes of someone portrayed at almost his own age, who had played a critical role in helping him find his way all those years ago. And in this quiet moment of identification, this meeting of two remarkable minds, a circle closed.

System of A Dummy

Aka what happened to the trio during Sweet Sync event.

Well, this time I tried to write Jasper, so the main pairing is my male MC Edgar/Jasper.

Warning: OOC, Mpreg and daddy kink.

Right after I open my eyes, I notice everything isn't right.

I am at my old place, the absent of familiar warmth that is supposed to be next to me, my old bed, my old room.

Where is Jasper?

What date is it?

What the hell happened?

I let out a groan, dear lord, if this is another nightmare, or a sick joke done by Jasper's father, I swear I will......

My ringtone breaks my thoughts. I grab it while standing up, checking myself in the mirror. I look......normal. Although I'm at my old place, won't say I'm younger, all the same. I feel the same. I pick up the phone, must be Jasper.

“Baby?”

“Edgar? Thank God you are okay!”

“Where are you? Are you hurt?”

I start searching for anything useful as Jasper needed few seconds to catch his breath.

“You are running, from who? That bastard?”

“I am fine......but yes, I woke up in my old room. Had to leave right away. Fortunately, he wasn't home.”

Damn it. How can they break into our safe house, drag us, leave us at different places, and none of us even notice a thing?

“Edgar, something......is wrong with......this world.”

“Absolutely, baby, that's why I quit.”

“No! I mean, everyone is acting weird, my father's men, pedestrians, everyone!”

“Alright, calm down, where are you? We need to meet up. Now.”

“I am near the coffee shop, it's closer to your old place than our home, right?”

Our home. Hearing Jasper spoke out these words makes me smile regardless the shit show we are in.

“Good choice, Tamura is probably around there, too. Stay safe, baby. I am coming.”

No time to waste, I simply grab my gear, put on whatever clothes that are near, and headed out. At this age, nothing will make me look good or younger, I no longer care about dressing up. As I step outside, I understand Jasper instantly.

What the fuck.

Pink windows popping up frequently, the whole world feels like a broken computer screen. Those windows have words such as "error", or short sentence like "files not found" on them. I dodge one window, then notice other on the street didn't even move a muscle when those windows show up. Am I the only one who can see them?

Ah, I get it now.

This is another nightmare, or I finally lose it.

I shrug, keep walking down the street. Now knowing it is usual shit again, I relax a little bit. The only concern on my mind is Jasper. He sounded upset, something must had happened and he wasn't telling me the full story. The coffee shop, thank God, is not far away from my old place. I walk in......huh? Jasper isn't here yet, and I do not see anyone in the shop. This is a Wednesday's morning, where are the regular customers? Where is Tamura's lover? The coffee shop's door is open, light is on, where are the people? It occurs to me that there were pedestrians on the street, but much less than usual. Why is this city suddenly half empty? I drop my investigation as I hear someone else enter the shop. I turn around.

“Jasper!”

“Edgar!”

I put my boy into a tight hug, if he's fine, then I am fine. Who cares about those window that are still popping up and said NO MC ERROR NO MC? Who cares about missing people? I will visit my therapist later, for now, all I am eager to do is to hug and comfort my favorite boy.

“Look at you, wearing the tiger logo hoodie again.”

“I had to leave that place as fast as I can, so......”

“No, no! I love it, it reminds me of our first few dates.”

UGH!

I turn around and guide both of us away from another pop-up window, Jasper raises his head, his expression is a mixture of relief, confused and concerned.

“What's wrong?”

“I finally lost my mind, baby. Been seeing windows here and there.”

Even though they are very likely my own hallucination, I won't let them touch Jasper.

“Windows?”

“Like a broken computer. They are pink, and keeps nagging things like error, MC is missing, files not found, matches are missing, stuff like that.”

Jasper moves to hold my face with his hands, examining my facial features. I am sure I am not having a stroke or having things in my eyes......right? With my boy this close to me, I cannot help but speak in flirtatious tone.

“Like what you see?”

He finally chuckles, ah, things I am willing to do for my boy just to turn that frown upside down.

“What's your diagnosis? Doctor?”

“I think what you are seeing is true. Somehow only you can see them.”

“How so......Jasper!”

Jasper suddenly grabs a chair and sits down on it, his expression quickly turns sour.

“Baby!”

“I......I keep having this weird feeling coming from my lower abdomen.”

I knew it! He's hiding something from me, that's it! He's not feeling well physically.

“Were you hurt? Which part of your stomach? May I have a look?”

“Yes. It's hard to......describe, it feels swollen, not too painful......and makes me a bit nauseous.”

I knee down beside Jasper, putting my hands on his stomach, gently rubbing it.

“Do you need to take a shit?”

Jasper laughs, then holds his stomach with a frowning face.

“Edgar! Don't make me laugh now!”

“I am serious! The restroom is back there, and I don't think Tamura's lover will mind if you take a huge dump.”

“What I was trying to say is, I having a strange feeling, too. Maybe those windows are real, and we are both under some sort of influence. Our bodies are acting weird”

I blink, take in what Jasper has suggested. It's a possible answer; however, my ability to see those windows does not come with any soreness at all. Why is Jasper feeling discomfort? Another window pops up, this time, I try to analyze its message.

“Error, our world is acting strange, yes. Next line......MC is missing, what is MC?”

“Tamura's lover is missing. Are the windows using MC to refer them?”

“Ah yes. We are alone in this shop, the whole city is strangely empty, too. What about this line? Matches not found, matches OOC......”

“OOC! That's it!”

“What's that, baby?”

“Out of character! It's a fandom slang. It means someone are not their usual self.”

I ruffle Jasper's hair, can't believe my boy's interest in internet culture paid off.

“Good boy.”

Jasper blushes, he looks down to his stomach again. Is it......getting bigger? Or was I mistaken? Either way, as Jasper isn't mentioning further ache, I am not going to open a can of warms. I lead the conversation back to the investigation.

“Matches OOC, that means people are being out of character? What's the difference between matches and MC? Tamura isn't here, is he also MC?”

“I have no idea, and......if people are either missing or being OOC, why are we mostly the same?”

I stand up, holding Japer softly into my arms, let him lean his head on my chest.

“It means even at your worst, you are still the most kind-hearted, honorable boy I have ever known.”

“Edgar......”

“Or we are being left out again. Remember when someone sticked tags on houses around the neighborhood? Tamura and Cedric both got "mafia" and other tags, but we have none.”

They never found out who's responsible for those tags. Few tags are funny though. I remember seeing tags such as "one bed", "holiday romance" and "grumpy/ sunshine". What do they mean?

“Oh......yes, I remember. I was the only one in their circle with no tags.”

“What a world, but I am glad we are fine, baby. Can't fucking stand it if I turn into an asshole and treat you like shit.”

I bend down and kiss Jasper's forehead, he hums out sweet noises that keep me going despite my sorrowful experiences. He opens his mouth, before any words come out, someone enters the shop.

“Finally! I hope it's Tamura......”

We both turn, and we are both stunned.

Bell bottom jeans, beige shirt, fringe vest and a dam headband.

“What......”

“God damn it he is now a hippie!’

The whole broken computer thing turns Tamura into a hippie. To be fair, Tamura likes coffee, can read tarot cards, which one can argue are both hipster traits. But he is also into not-so-hipster things like throwing knife, breaking bones and stalking, I mean, protecting his lover. Tamura is OOC. Absolutely OOC.

“Hey men!”

Jasper looks at me, then Tamura, then back to me, obviously not knowing what to do, I scratch my chin. Come on, Edgar, think about your childhood, think about how did the hippie adults talk during that era. Fuck, I have a terrible childhood. I was a socially awkward kid. I sigh, I can't do much but to speak in my typical tone.

“Tamura, tell me who did this to you?”

“Nobody but myself, man! I am like, you guys are right, I need to chill a bit, like flow with the good vibes, you know? Peace!”

Jasper groans and buries his face into his hands, I can do nothing but pat his back. Tamura is merely an acquaintance to me, I spend more time hanging out with his lover than him himself. For Jasper, he's witnessing one of his brother figures transformed into an abomination. My poor, poor boy.

“Jasper......oh hell no, your belly......”

“What?”

Jasper sits straight up and stares at the......lump. There's a lump forming in his lower belly. I wasn't mistaken, his stomach is getting bigger.

“What is that? Why is it getting bigger than before?”

“How are you feeling now?”

“Mentally? Not well. Physically? Swollen, bloated, not extremely painful, I can handle it but......what is this?”

“Yo, man! Maybe you are having a baby. Congrats!”

“Tamura don't joke about......wait......”

Can it be? How is it possible? At the same time, Tamura is now a hippie, anything is possible, right? Jasper seems to get the idea as well, his face turns pale faster than my rapid motion of getting up and walk straight toward the door.

“Where are you going?”

“To get a pregnancy test!”

“I will go......”

“No! Stay here! God knows what's going on out there! Stay inside, I will be back in a minute!”

I take one last look at Tamura, he has a guitar. What? How? Where did he gather all those hippie garment in one day? Edgar, stop. Those details are not important!

“He may be a hippie, but he is sill capable of protecting you, right?”

“Man! Violent is never the answer! Make love, no war!”

“Okay listen, if anything bad happens, use Tamura as a human shield, feed he straight to the wolves.”

I run out of the coffee shop. There's a pharmacy not far away. With Jasper's belly's fast-growing rate, I need to be quick. I burst into the pharmacy, get the test, there's no one here. I still throw some cash on the counter. This is bad, this side of the city is also empty, what about the hospital? I don't think any doctor in this state can handle man pregnancy at this moment, but having an OOC doctor is definitely better than having an ex-cop and a hippie. Where can I find any doctor? Fuck!

“Baby!”

I rush back into the shop, Jasper is sitting on the chair, while Tamura is sitting on the counter, with guitar in his hand.

“How are you feeling?”

“Not better, not worse. Tamura tries to send good vibes to me by singing indie songs.”

Dear lord.

“I mean, he does have good singing voice, and I do relax a little. So, I guess his strategy is working?”

Tamura gives me a peace hand sign, if I am not worrying sick about Jasper's condition, I will laugh my ass off and take tons of photos of him. This whole situation is insane yet humorous. I help Jasper to get up, hand him the pregnancy test.

“Do you need me to......”

“I can do it myself! I am not that weak! I......want to do at least one thing myself. You already did so much for me.”

I nod, whisper some encouraging words to my boy. Jasper heads into the restroom, leaving Tamura and I at the front. I walk toward the coffee machine, try to make something warm for Jasper......wait, can pregnant men have coffee?

“Tamura, do you need anything?”

“Is there any vegan, organic, gluten free and fair-trade option?”

“Yes, we have water.”

I give him a glass of water.

“Fucking hell!”

Jasper stumbles out of the restroom, I immediately reach my hands out to him. One on his belly, the other to hold him.

“I am pregnant!”

“How? I use condoms!”

“Not on Tuesday last week.”

Oh, oh, yeah......

No matter how shock I am, I swallow down my surprise and hug Jasper into my arms.

“It's okay, baby. Everything will be fine.”

“But it is your worst trauma, Edgar! The case of '09! What happened to the poor woman made you......”

“Shh, it's okay. Baby, your wellbeing is way more important than my trauma. Let's focus on you first. How......are you? Do you suddenly have a uterus or......?”

“I still have my male genitals.”

Then how is the baby going to come out? From the asshole? How?

“Hey, I hear some type of testicular cancers can make pregnancy test showing positive result, man.”

“Well, the lump is right here in my belly, not on my balls! It's definitely not cancer, it's a baby!”

“I am just laying out all the possibility, man. Chill!”

“Alright Jasper, calm down!”

Take a deep breath, Edgar. Even though I am actually freaking out, Jasper is ninety percent pregnant, ten percent having cancer now. I have to act reliable and caring to him, he is definitely having a crisis. It's not about me me me my feelings, it's about him and......our baby.

“Sit down, baby. Oh......”

The whole chaos drove me away from those windows for a while, now one of them floats right beside Jasper.

“Tag: mpreg. What's that?”

“Mpreg? Fuck, I am really pregnant, it means male pregnancy.”

I see, another fandom phrase. There's also a window near Tamura.

“Error, match's file error......I take it as Tamura being OOC?”

“Match means Tamura, then MC must be his lover who is missing?”

“Good point, detective.”

“And for some reasons I am not having any error, but got a mpreg tag on me.”

“And we thought we could be left out as usual......”

I raise my head to peek at Tamura, he is on the counter like before. Even when Jasper was slightly hostile toward he, he remains the easy-going attitude, not fighting back. So not Tamura. He is such a train wreck comparing to his usual self, yet I do envy him. My boy is here suffering physical changes, not to mention how it affects his mental health. I would rather have a Jasper that is acting like his father, then letting him go through this. After all, no matter what have my favorite boy become, I will always heal him with my love.

“Jasper, do you need another song to smooth your pain?”

“No. No more songs, and get down from the counter. Your lover will kill all of us if you break its surface. ”

“Aw man, what a bummer! Jasper, your old man is such a downer!”

“It's okay, Tamura. I am feeling better now. It stops growing. And......thank you.”

“No problem, peace!”

I return my attention back on my boy. It's true. Jasper's belly seems to be slowing down. I sit down next to him, with my heart finally beating near normal rate again.

“Do you think the mpreg tag will keep going or......”

“I think most mpreg fictions don't emphasize on how men deliver the baby. They are more about carrying the baby, and their lives with a young child.”

“Hope it will stay like this for a while, can't imagine how the hell are we going to get the baby out.”

I take off my jacket, put it on Jasper. What do pregnant men need? Ah, I stand up and get the hot chocolate I made earlier.

“Do you need anything else, baby?”

“I am hungry.”

What can pregnant men eat? My usual greasy diet surely isn't the right answer.

“We should call up Cedric, man. He can feed Jasper, and he would love to be Jasper's baby's godfather.”

Jasper thinks for a moment, next he takes out his phone. Oh, I know that face. As my baby boy smiles at last, I truly loosen myself.

“Baby, you want to see what have Cedric become.”

“Yes, can I record it? Will it save on my phone?”

“I am not even sure if this is just another nightmare or not, maybe no.”

Jasper's face falls, he hugs his belly, turn his eyes away from mine.

“Oh......this is your nightmare? I having a baby?”

“No! Not you having a baby, but you undergoing physical pain!”

I hold his face again, letting our foreheads touch. Jasper speaks in such soft tone, his voice comes out almost as a whisper.

“Edgar, if I could have a baby, will you......”

“I will. But only after we are both ready, alright?”

His father, my mental problem, and other things. Jasper is right, the case of '09 fucked me up. Then the case of '12, and the case of '15, and more. At this point, I am not made of happy memories anymore but of terrible cases, and the PTSD that follow them. But none of them matters in front of Jasper. Nothing matters, only my love for him, my desire, and my yearning for his wellbeing. I never tell him what I am willing to do for him. Deep down in my heart, I disdain his father. For I know that love doesn't make me weak. It makes me overcome my pain days after days, pushing my broken mind and body again and again, so I can protect my favorite boy. And I can confidently say that when I break down, I still won't hurt him nor others, only drag his father into hell with me in a ugly way. Oh, all the ways I have been dreaming about to get rid of that man.

“Are......you sure?”

“No one would be a better father to my child than you, baby. You are one of the kindest souls I have ever met.”

“I harm people, Edgar. I am not a hero.”

“Not being a hero doesn't mean you are a monster. It means you are a human, all of us are not saint nor a hero. We are all human.”

“What if I am a villain, a sinner?”

“Then I want to share my prayer with you. Jasper, I spent nearly thirty years as a cop, I ain't that clean either.”

I almost taste the lips so close to me. Almost give in to my impulse and dote my baby boy as how I do it every night right here. But the door opens again. Jasper pushes me away slightly, we both turn to the door.

Cedric looks......not bad.

He's wearing a black hoodie with shorts. Not his typical fashion style; however, comparing to Tamura, this is not too outrageous.

“Cedric!”

“What's up my homies?”

“Hey man, Jasper is pregnant.”

“Oh my God for real? If it be facts, that's cray cray!”

This is outrageous.

Our suave guy talks like a Gen Z teen.

“So bro, how be ya pregnancy?”

When Cedric talked, he moved his hands like those tiktok boys with their hand gestures. I can tell Jasper is trying his best to not laugh in Cedric's face.

“Good, I guess. I am quite hungry though.”

“Don't stress, bro, I got you! I'll cook something up real fast for you!”

Can this Cedric cook? Or will he be like tiktok chef who make out with food? Jasper is recording Cedric and giggling, fine, if he's happy, I am happy. Cedric can do unspeakable thing to strawberries, and I won't care. Our chef walks toward the counter, seeing Gen Z Cedric standing right next a hippie Tamura makes me burst out laughing, I cannot hold back anymore. I laugh hard, then Jasper joins me, we can't barley sit on the chairs. This shit is too fucking hilarious.

“Bruh, why you laughing for?”

“Nothing! I am just so happy to see you two!”

Gen Z Cedric starts working with everything we have in the shop, thank God his talent is still there. The whole cooking process is a mess. Cedric thinks Tamura's songs are too old and boring, and Jasper can't stand Cedric's top tiktok songs playlist. In the end, I pick Cedric's phone up from the counter.

“Yo! What's up with you?”

“Stop your damn music! You are giving Jasper a headache!”

“Ayo, come on, bruh! I am trying to cheer up Jasper!”

“Well, keep your thoughts and prayers in the oven, 350 degrees, thirty to forty minutes!”

“Okay, boomer!”

I hear the other two laugh behind me, younger people these days......

Cedric serves us some pasta, sandwiches and warm salad, all of us gather around one table, enjoying the food. To be honest. I am beyond grateful that Tamura and Cedric treat Jasper well even though they are being OOC. I am glad our reunion didn't end up like the case of '13.

“Huh, something new is showing up on the window. File restoring, 33%, 40%, 48%.”

“Does it mean someone else is fixing the problem?”

“Probably. Glad that we are not the main characters in this disaster. While they go on their world saving mission. We can sit here and rest.”

“We can chill n eat.”

“Yeah man, relax.”

Jasper nods, I notice he's been squirming more often after the meal.

“Baby, how are you feeling?”

“I'm fine! I mean, hey! I am no longer hungry!”

“Bro are you feeling sick or something? You look mad blushing.”

“I am fine!”

Cedric is right, Jasper's cheeks are turning into rosy color. What's going on? How will pregnancy impact one person? Is he having a fever?

“Does anyone of us here know anything about pregnancy? Does pregnancy come along with fever-like symptom?”

None of us speaks a word.

“God aren't you two bi or pansexual? Don't look at me, I never ask a woman out in my life.”

“Dating women doesn't mean I automatically know all about obstetrics, bro,”

“Fair enough. Then don't you all learn something about that in school?”

I was greeted by no, not really and can't remember. God bless our educational system.

“Edgar, I am not having a fever, you don't have to worry......”

“You are not looking well!”

“Man, I remember hearing that some people really like it when they are pregnant.”

“What do you mean?”

“I think Hippiemura trying to say Jasper is horny.”

I lower my eyes, they are......right. Jasper is crossing his legs to hide his bump down there.

“Fucking kill me.”

“Baby! Having a boner in front of us is way less embarrassed than what they have become.”

“You got beef with me, boomer?”

“Yes, eat your beef sandwich and shut up, go back to scrolling your phone.”

I stand up and take Jasper's hands, lead us to the basement gently. Once we are alone, I sit down on the ground, pat my thigh. Jasper bites his lips, hesitant for a moment before letting go and sit on my lap. I hug Jasper from behind, lay my head on his shoulder, his body temperature is lightly higher than usual, and his belly......between hard and soft.

“Edgar......”

“No gonna lie, I will miss this baby when everything is bad to normal.”

“That's exactly what I was thinking about......what will happen? Will it just disappear? Is it really a baby in me, or my body is fooling me?”

“I have no idea, baby.”

“Why are we having it worse than others? We aren't OOC like them. But to lose a child......”

I tighten my grip carefully, I can kiss and comfort his sadness away temporary, yet the world is never kind to my boy. Trouble after trouble. Always the worst outcome. Always lost. I brush my lips against Jasper's ears.

“Case after case, I also asked myself why am I the only one going through all of this. I guess that's the result of our curse.”

“Curse?”

“The curse of having a heart. To care, so to be hurt. Yet without this curse, I will never be with you. Therefore, with sadness and a heavy heart, I still have no regrets. You?”

Jasper sniffs.

“No regrets.”

“Enough of sadness for today. Let's believe it's a false pregnancy. Something is messing up everyone and your body. There's nothing really inside your stomach. Now tell me, baby.”

I lower my hand, and chuckle when I sense how Jasper reacts to my touch.

“How can daddy make you feel better?”

“Edgar......”

“They won't hear us, baby. Call me the way you want to.”

“Well......daddy, I......”

I open my eyes.

Of course. Just as the dream is getting better, I wake up.

Is it a dream? Everything felt real......forget about it, Jasper is sleeping soundly in my arms. Fine, fine. Oh wait......yes, Jasper's belly is flat. No baby, no mpreg and no windows. I sigh, what was that? A nightmare? A funny dream? Or was I spacing out while having hallucination?

“Daddy?”

Jasper rubs his eyes, slowly waking up.

“Nothing. Just had an interesting dream.”

“Was I in it?”

I kiss Jasper's forehead.

“Of course. There's no me without my favorite boy. There were also other people.”

“Who? Your coworkers?”

“A hippie Tamura and a gen Z Cedric.”

“Ugh......What?”

[writerofcreativity]

This is me seeing MeChat matches in HeartSteel. For those who just play League of Legends and don't know what MeChat is then just type it in with cgs to know what I mean.

This is me just typing what they would say if they meet.

Jasper looked at Aphelious "cool headphones." He commented. Aphelious took out his cellphone and type a message to Jasper saying "thanks. I like your mask." It said. Found out that Aphelious can't talk and wasn't being one of those cool guys who don't talk that much.

"Look! I found my long lost twin!" Dare shouted to Drink and Dance. He took Sett to meet them. "My little brother's home!" Sett grinned. Dare looked at him "little brother? I'm a bit older to be little." He said. Sett looked at him "how old are you?" He asked. I don't know how old Sett is but for now I just think he might be younger than Dare since Dare and his friends are spirits.

"Wow! Amazing pics! Not to mentioned awesome parties!" Ezreal looked at the pictures that Social took when he was attending parties. "It's thanks to my honey(the mc of Apocalyptic Gang) for making it happened." Social smiled. Ezreal asked for his contact number so that they can hang out more. Social obliged and gave him his contact number.

Shion and Kayn stared at one another. It was hard to tell if they are itching to fight one another or just sizing one another before they can have a normal conversation.

Yone and Nathan stand next to each other. Not sure what to do "so, I'm guessing that you are also a mother to your respective group?" Yone tried to start a conversation. "Well, I suppose you can call me that. After all, I am a teacher teaching future strippers." Nathan chuckled weakly. Yone looked at him "you a stripper? I don't see it." He was surprised "I don't blame you until you see me on stage...wait, I don't perform in strip clubs anymore." Nathan said.

Sorry K'Sante. He doesn't remind me of anyone in and outside of MeChat but I know that will change.

I want to start this off by saying I am a human person with responsibilities, boundaries and a lack of free time so it may take a while to answer your ask. I also have the right to not answer every ask I receive.

This is primarily an art ask blog, but I will only use text for posts on occasion.

I’m not gonna put a cap on ‘what do you think of __ x __’ questions for now, but if they become a majority of questions asked, then I will. Currently, no ships are canon in this AU, so don’t expect any answers to say anything differently.

The paintings that Rothko consciously correlates with his journeys were not created under the immediate impression of Italy but later. However his visits to Italy place Rothko in the position to emphasize the legitimacy of his behaviour. In a certain manner, Rothko can be compared to the seventeenth-century traveller proceeding to the sources of his art, searching for inspiration, and yet with an equally strong desire for self-affirmation.

This sense of self-affirmation is key to Rothko's work from 1950 onwards. The time that he spent in Europe established and reinforced his conception of himself as a muralist working within a tradition that he could trace back through Giotto and Fra Angelico to the painters at work in Pompeii, Tarquinia and even Lascaux. With this in mind, one can say with a certain assurance that Rothko's experience of Europe was fundamental to the development of his three greatest artistic ventures: the Seagram Murals, the Harvard Murals, and the Rothko Chapel.

I think I f&$ked up this time

I tried to write Cedric, sadly I think I’ve failed him🫠

Don’t really know how to save this work, so I’m just gonna leave it here and not adding main tag on it😶‍🌫️

Warning: OOC, tons of dirty talks because Cedric is being Cedric, and Jasper has my own male MC

Normally I don’t create my MC. But I want to hug him and love him and protect him and beat the shit out of his father so so much……

So…… this is what happened:

Paring: Cedric/his MC, My own male MC/Jasper

Cedric would be in this color, his MC would be in this color

Honey, can my friend come over this Wednesday?

I know you will say yes, I still want to inform you beforehand🤭

Of course, darling. It’s our place, not just mine💕

What should I prepare for you two to earn your friend’s blessing?

Thank you💕

It’s not my close friend. It’s Edgar, Jasper’s……ugh, baby? Lover?

Oh, Jasper’s daddy😜

OOOF

Yeah……it must be like that, right?

Their age gap, Jasper’s daddy issue, and Edgar always calls him his favorite boy🙈

Are you feeling a little flustered? I’m surprised that my freaky baby is shy about daddy kink.

It’s my karma isn’t it😅

I like to tease Tamura’s baby for fun. Now whenever Jasper and Edgar are near, I can’t stop thinking about what’s going on between them, and feel so embarrassed🫠

Embarrassed? How so?

I’m not shy about it. Actually you can say that I’m too intrigued, wondering how they……love each other🙈

And what’s stopping you from getting any information you want? I know my baby isn’t afraid to ask any question.

Jasper is too pure, he feels like a younger brother to me😓

Hahaha😂

Don’t laugh, I know you also view him as a younger sibling😡

God, so many juicy details I want to know, yet I don’t have the heart to speak those dirty words out loud!

So you turn to Edgar? Try to get to know him…… to invade little Jasper’s privacy?

……yeah🙈

Am I a bad sibling for him?

What a terrible terrible older sibling you are.

Yet I would be lying if I said your freakiness and tricky side didn’t turn me on😏

Then come home early today to punish me, how could I do this to young Jasper💦

Judging by how unapologetic you are, I sentence you to a rough session of penetration, and perhaps, some spanking.

I’m guilty as charged 🙈

Oh, and you don’t have to prepare anything for us! We will be fine! You’ll see😉

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱ 𓆙• 𓆙 ⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Baby, say hi to my creation!

Isn’t it adorable? It’s an octo-dog🥰

That’s cute💕

So this is what you two are doing, a cooking club?

I won’t say it’s a cooking club, we just reheat frozen stuff, put them together or follow package’s instructions. It’s not like how you cook😂

It is cooking, darling! Although I take my hobby very seriously, it shouldn’t make you feel inferior. I love what you did there!

Really🥺?

Absolutely! Save some for me!

About that……we ate it all, sorry🙈

Not even a bite for me🥲?

Like I said, I thought it’s not “real food”. I don’t want to pollute your taste buds with it……

Baby, please don’t think like that!

Don’t underestimate the efforts and dedication you had put into this dish!Also, I’m willing to try anything you make.

Baby🥺💕

I’ll save our next dish for you!

This is a small cooking club, then. Edgar mentions making bento for Jasper sometimes, and I want to try some of the cute recipes myself.

Good to hear that he’s treating Jasper right.

By the way, how’s your plan going? Got any information you want?

It’s too early, I need to let his guard down. It’s much better than our first meeting though😂

God, it was so awkward! Tamura’s baby and I thought it would be someone who’s like us……then a tall, old, muscular guy showed up.

I told him I like his grey highlight, he said he wasn’t dying his hair, he’s turning grey😅

I remembered that, the face you made was so memorable 😂

Edgar is such a gentleman though. Polite and thoughtful. I’m glad Jasper is with someone like that🥺

To be honest, I was hesitant about their relationship at first.

If Edgar turn out to be another misery in Jasper’s life, I would gladly remove him🔪

I love it when you are being so protective 🥵

Admit it, you do see Jasper as a younger brother like me🤭

If you want to get me to admit something, you have to squeeze it out of me, beautiful😜

With my hands, my mouth, or my…..💦💦

You’ll have to find it out yourself 😉

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱ 𓆙• 𓆙 ⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Honey, guess what time is it?

👅💦?

No, that’s for later😂

My cooking club with Edgar!

I save one for you this time!

They are adorable just like you💕

Baby🥺💕

Are they your favorite animal?

No, but it does remind me a story called Frederick. I like that mouse when I was young, because it holds a flower in its hand.

Baby, I’m so happy that you are sharing more about yourself to me🥺

But those are bunnies😂

Shit!

It’s not your fault! You did a great job representing it! I must be too tired……

No, no! It’s fine! Edgar thought they are mice too😂

Speaking about him, he’s so……mysterious🤔

He knows too much about that side of the city.

Tamura and I have talked about this before. Our theory is that he was a cop.

A cop!?

He’s not coming for you two right?? If so, I will pour bleach into his tea right away😡😡

Calm down! Baby! I said he was!Something must had happened and drove he away from the force🤔

I can relate to that.

Honey🥺

I didn’t mean to bring up what happened about your brother…….

Don’t apologize, my love. I know it’s not your intention💕

Besides, the fact you are willing to poison a cop for me instantly……

It turns you on😏?

Totally 💦

And my old wound does need some tender loving to heal again. Come take a closer look at it, it’s deep, down here……

No problem, I would provide all the love it needs💦

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱ 𓆙• 𓆙 ⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

How does it look🤭

It’s lovely as the chef!

I might send this recipe to Tamura’s baby later🤔

I mean, it’s one of the animal that Tamura likes, right?

I think so.

Honey……

Do you recognize what is it🥺

I do!

It’s not a kiwi bird, isn’t it……

It’s a dog🥲

Of course it’s a dog! Look at its cute little ear, nose and tiny feet!

Those are its collar not feet🥲

But if you view them as feet……I get it now, it does look like a kiwi bird in that way .

I’m awfully sorry, baby😔

My imagination could be wild sometimes, that doesn’t mean it’s your problem. It’s me! I think too much to notice the real beauty in front of me!

It’s okay, you can just tell me that my cooking is misleading and weird🥲

No! Not at all! Don’t say that! They are fantastic!

Yes, your dishes are very different from the ones in restaurants. Yet being different doesn’t mean it’s bad! The most important part is whether it brings joy to you and your love one, and honestly, I love it!

Baby🥺

Save that for me! I will gladly eat it all up and lick the plate.

Will you also lick the chef to show your approval💦?

I would rather devour them, ravished them; however, I will follow my chef’s order.

You chef would like to let you do whatever you want😉

Oh, and about my plan to let Edgar speak……he keeps misunderstanding my question!

Hahaha😂

I asked him to tell me more about their “playtime”……and he showed me photos of their arcade date😓

Do you think he’s doing it on purpose or he’s also that pure?

Must be on purpose. He’s quite cunning.

I think he’s planning something against Jasper’s father🤔

Did I make a fool of myself in front of this sliver fox🫣

Yeah😂

They are really my karma aren’t them😅

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱ 𓆙• 𓆙 ⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Stop what you’re doing and tell me this is the best thing you’ve ever seen!

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen!

Tell me what it is 🔫

Baby, I thought we already talked about this. Even if your creativity doesn’t reach me correctly, you are still an amazing cook!

Just tell me what do you think it is🔫

Fine! Fine! That space dog from Disney movie???

You’re……not entirely wrong this time.

It’s a monster burger😂

Now I am thinking that you’re doing it on purpose. Trying out ambiguous looking recipes to tease me😅

No, I wouldn’t do such a thing👼

Alright, I might’ve intentionally picked this recipe.

To fool me🥲?

No👼

To have burgers. I asked Edgar which “toy” do he and Jasper like, he then showed me his vintage toys collection.

And there’s a burger phone! Can you imagine! A hamburger shape phone!

Sounds so silly……you want it💳

I NEED IT.

It made me hungry for a burger, so I told Edgar let’s go for a burger this time🤣

Oh…..speaking about Edgar, I think you’re right. He definitely used to be a cop.

Hmm……he finally opened up to you?

He’s a harder case to crack than you, so no😅

But he gifted me a box, said that he really appreciated how you had taken care of Jasper when he’s in jail.

I thought it’s chocolate or something……

And……?

It’s filled with really interesting props. Let’s just say our police role play will be more realistic now.

And he knows how kinky we are for sure🙈

Told you he’s playing dumb around you😂

I guess I’ll have to stop my attempts before I make a fool of myself.

He probably knows what I’m doing😅

Me😜

Yes, you😂

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱ 𓆙• 𓆙 ⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

We’re done with today’s session! I did it!

I cooked one dish started from scratch! Not just putting finished goods together✨✨

I am so proud of you baby💕

I must be repeating myself at this point, but I just can’t believe it! I did it!

Though I never mind your adorable chirping, I do believe in you from the start.

I know you can achieve any goal you set your mind to, with the very firm determination that captured my heart💕

Baby……

Judging from last night…… I would said it captured more than your heart😏

Absolutely. In fact, my other part is missing you too🍆💦

Well, before you have your dessert, I want to serve the main course to you.

Seriously, I want you to be the first person to taste my first dish ever. It may not be the finest, but it’s the thought that counts, right🫣

I told you not to worry about that, baby! My passion in cooking should bring extra pleasure into our lives, not to discourage you from trying it yourself!

Your words always make me feel so much better🥺

Just my words? What about my tongue 👅

Oh you😏

Promise me you will finish it as usual 🥺

Of course I will!

After that, I’ll show my compliments to the chef. Wherever, and whatever position they want.

Enough of flirting, Edgar is still nearby helping me to wash the dishes.😂

Anyway, here’s my first dish!

Hey???

Honey?

Cedric???? Are you still there???

Baby…… I mean this is the best way, but……

What is that?

You don’t like it🥺

No! No! I’m just curious about……how you went from making cute food monster to…….

To real monster ?

Ouch🥲

That’s not what I meant! I’m simply asking you to help me understand your creative process during……this.

It’s a Jack-O-Lantern Salad, made by carrots and orange gelatin🫠

A Jack-O-Lantern?

Happy Halloween 🥳

It’s April.

You know I’m terrible at math🥲

That’s not even math that’s fact????

I guess I’ll eat it alone then🥲

No! I promised you I am going to finish it!

You don’t seem to be eager to have it🥲

It’s okay, you can tell me that my first dish sucks😢

It’s not!

Okay, listen! Not gonna lie, I cannot understand the use of gelatin.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s terrible! I’m willing to give it a try! I’m willing to eat anything from you!

Love? Did you hear me? Don’t throw it away! I’m coming home, we’ll face it together!

Baby?

Cedric.

Yes?

What date is it?

It’s……Oh you!

Happy April Fools’ Day 😂😂😂

I was trying to tease you with a cursed jelly dish, yet your reaction makes me tear up a little bit🥺

I thought you’ll lose it at how I butchered those ingredients. You are so supportive 🥺

And I fell right into your trap.

Was I blinded by my love for you, or has my baby become a mastermind after being with the boss?

Really? You planned this from late March? All those cooking sessions were set up for this moment?

Yes🫣

I know it would be too obvious if I tell you I make a dish for you out of blue, and immediately serve you that. So I asked Edgar to form a fake cooking club with me.

My clever clever baby.

You should thank Edgar.

Tamura’s baby suggested me to do spaghettio aspic. Edgar insisted that it would make you faint, so we tried jelly instead.

……

When I talk about bad influence, that is definitely not what I’m picturing……

I’ll thank him later.

I can tell him right now! He ate the salad for us.

He what?

Wait. You actually made it💀?

Yeah!

We made a smaller one and made it look big in photo.

We didn’t want to waste food, and I was supposed to eat it. Edgar ate it up while I’m texting you. He’s so sweet😢

Is he……okay?

He said he had eaten worse stuff in the past. He refused to tell me what it was.

Although I do feel that I am getting to know Jasper’s lover, he’s still a man of mystery 🤔

Anyway, I’m grateful that he took a bullet for me🫡

Baby, ask him to stay.

I’m not letting him leave my house with only…… that salad in his stomach.

You know it’s a joke now. It’s okay, you can call it names🤣

Joke or not, it’s your first dish. I will be gentle with it.

You are always so gentle with all my first times🫣

Oh, if Edgar is staying, we should ask Jasper to join us! Haven’t see him for a while!

That would be great✨

And……I got you a gift🤭

So many surprises today, no complaints!

Would you tell me what is it right now……or do I have to unwrap my gift later with my hands, or my mouth👅

Baby🫣

It’s a fun gift, not that kind of toy. Actually, I’m not sure if you would like it or not, but I have been picturing you with it🤣

Let me guess.

The burger phone?

Yes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, I’m just messing with you. It’s a small Frederick mouse plush toy, and he’s holding a flower🤭
