summary : Cheol starts seeing you as a mother figure

a/n : inspired by @karli6 comment on one of my posts bc it’s so cute i couldn’t not write about it

𝐓he scent of lavender fills your small apartment, a comforting aroma that’s become synonymous with Saebyeok. it’s a stark contrast to the grit of her life, the harsh edges that you know so well, and a gentle reminder of the soft woman beneath. you’re perched on the edge of the couch, a half-finished crossword puzzle abandoned in your lap. Saebyeok is at the small table, her brow furrowed in concentration as she counts the meager money spread out before her.

you watch her, a fondness blossoming in your chest. you love that even in her moments of vulnerability, there’s a strength that radiates from her. it’s the same strength that protects her younger brother, Cheol.

speaking of Cheol, a small, hesitant cough echoes from the doorway. you look up and see him, his backpack slung low on his shoulders, his eyes large and uncertain. he’s holding out a crumpled sheet of paper.

“i… i need some help.” he mumbles, his gaze darting between you and Saebyeok.

Saebyeok glances up, her expression softening as she notices Cheol. “homework again?” she sighs, a hint of exasperation in her voice. she picks up a pen, ready to tackle the task at hand. but Cheol shakes his head, his focus locked on you.

“not for you.” she shuffled closer, his gaze imploring. “can you help me, please?”

your heart melts. it’s not that Saebyeok isn’t good at academics, but her way of teaching sometimes involves a lot of direct answers, whereas you prefer a more patient, guiding approach. you know that Cheol can be easily intimated, and perhaps you offer a calmer space for him to learn.

you set aside your crossword and smile, beckoning him closer. “of course, Cheol. let me see.”

he practically barrels himself into the space next to you on the couch, his small body warm against your side. as you smooth out the paper, you see it’s a math problem involving fractions, a subject dreaded by many young students.

“okay,” you say, pointing to the equation with a pen. “this looks a little tricky, but we can break it down. what do you think about first finding the common denominator?”

you spend the next half hour patiently explaining the concepts, drawing diagrams on scrap paper, and gently nudging him towards the solution. you praise him for every small victory, and his eyes light up each time he grasps a new idea. you realize these moments are precious. you enjoy being able to support and teach him.

Saebyeok watches from the table, a subtle smile playing on her lips. when you finally help Cheol arrive at the correct answer, he bursts into a grin, his satisfaction radiating through the room.

“thanks! you’re the best!” he declares, his eyes shining with newfound confidence. he scrambles off the couch, heading to his room, leaving a trail of discarded papers in his wake.

you turn to Saebyeok, a warm feeling settling in your chest. “he’s a smart kid, just needs a little encouragement.”

she nods, her eyes holding a complex mix of affection and almost… relief? “yeah.” she says quietly, returning to the money.

over the next few weeks, you notice a pattern forming. Cheol starts seeking you out for help with his homework more often. it’s never forced, always a gentle request. and you never refuse. you find yourself looking forward to the quiet evenings spent poring over textbooks and diagrams with Cheol. it’s a nice change of pace from the anxiety and fear that usually permeates both his and Saebyeok’s lives.

sometimes. he even asks for help with things beyond schoolwork. it’s in these seemingly mundane moments, as you help him, that you feel a strange connection to Cheol, like you’re something more than just his sister’s girlfriend.

one evening, as you’re helping him with a particularly challenging history assignment, Cheol pauses, his small fingers tracing the outline of an illustration in his textbook. he looks up at you, his eyes wide and earnest.

“you’re like mom,” he says, the words spilling out before he can think them through. “she used to help me with my homework too.”

a wave of emotion washes over you. it’s not even a conscious decision, but you pull him into a gentle hug, holding him close. it’s a bittersweet revelation. his mother is a gaping hole in both their lives, a void you can’t ever hope to truly fill. but if you can offer him a semblance of stability, of care, it’s something you desperately want to do.

you feel Saebyeok’s eyes on you from across the room. you look up and lock her eyes. she’s watching you with a soft smile on her face, a silent understanding passing between you. she knows the weight you carry with Cheol’s words, and she knows the strength you hold within as well.

you squeeze Cheol gently, kissing the top of his head. “well, i’ll try my best, okay?” you say, before returning to the history book, a different kind of warmth filling the space within your small, lavender-scented apartment. it’s more than just homework, it’s the beginning of something that feels like family. and you wouldn’t trade it for anything.

[proqhetic]

Could you write your head canons for what dating Lottie would be like? Sorry it’s basic this is my first time requesting 😅

ᡣ𐭩 •｡ ꪆ��� ˚ ⋅ dating lottie matthews hcs

cw: nsfw at the bottom, blood

when your relationship is just starting out, i think lottie would be extremely shy or reserved

i don’t think she has a lottttt of experience (compared to say jackie or nat), and she’s always kept to herself more, so she’d be extra cautious about not messing this up or making you uncomfortable in anyway

trusts you with the “weirder” sides of herself that she’s usually too embarrassed to show around others and you only love her even more for it

she’s so cute WAAAJSHAHSKFHAGJ

will do the pinky thing when she wants to hold your hand where she just lightly pokes your hand with it before you just full on take her hand in yours 😭😭

“lottie, we’re already dating. you can hold my hand.” “i just— i wasnt sure!” she defends herself while grinning, taking your hand in hers

her main love language is definitely gift giving!! she’ll gladly shower you in gifts and presents everyday if she knew it would make you happy

if you mention in passing about an expensive pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing for a while now or a funko pop of one of ur faves just dropped, expect to see it nicely wrapped in a bow on your bed by the next day <3

expect her to go ALL OUT for valentine’s day, christmas and your birthday in terms of surprising you with presents and parties.

matching halloween costumes are also on the agenda

cannot cook to save her life this point should just be canon (will try to cook breakfast in bed for you and fail miserably)

sleepovers at her house after soccer practice!!! you’d sit on the bleachers and watch her during practice with heart eyes like those cheesy high school movies while you wait for her

so. many. forehead kisses. (that height difference mmm)

light sleeper — (esp pre-dating) frequently wakes up in the middle of the night and has trouble falling asleep. your presence alone has been such a help,, she’ll have an arm wrapped around your waist or fall asleep tucked into the crook between your neck and shoulder while u play with her hair > <

but the second you crawl up to pee in the middle of the night you come back and see her awake and staring back at you all groggy and pouty hhjshdjehs

asks nat how to create a mixtape just so she can create one for you with all the songs that remind her of you

slips you those stupid post-its in class with the checkboxes that are like

“ hey.. i think ur pretty cute :) date tn? ▢ yes!! ♡ ▢ no :( ”

even though it’s been like a good few months into your rs

⚠️ — nsfw

secretly a freak but wbk… let’s be honest here!!!!

loves whispering the filthiest things in your ear when you guys are out with your friends just to see you get all worked up and flustered

that paired with her evil grinnn oh when her fangs poke out MMMMNNCMSBV i’m going insane

speaking of fangs… biting your lip/neck until she draws blood (vampire!lottie you will always be famous)

sooo whiny. non stop whimpering. even draws them out because she knows how much hearing her turns you on

needs to build some confidence around you and get over that embarrassed start but could definitelyy be the dom one if she wanted

sleepy sex is her favourite >_< waking up to two of her fingers already inside you as she greets you with a drawled “good morning babyy” and a chaste kiss as she adds a third finger in

Past Lives pt. 5

Wednesday x witch!reader

"I've got this strangest feeling."

"This isn't our first time around."

Summary: It's the day of the Poe Cup and you and Wednesday are determined to beat Bianca.

Warnings: Small descriptions of blood and injury

Bianca gives Y/n and I a look as we pass her on our way to go talk to Enid. It's a perfectly cloudy day. Not too many clouds, but not too little.

Enid stands with a mischievous smile "We're all set."

"Good, Things in position." Enid and I's shoulders are touching as we talk just above a whisper.

"Wanna tell me what you three were up to?"

"And ruin the surprise?"

Enid's face lights up. "Speaking of surprises, your costume is in the tent!"

"Costume?" I look at Y/n who gives me an apologetic smile.

I leave the tent in my black cats costume, met with Enid and you approaching. The costume hugs your body tightly. As I stare at you I can't help but admire your figure.

"OMG, You look purrfect!" Enid says while doing a claw motion with her hands.

"Where are your whiskers?" You ask, pointing to the whiskers drawn on your face.

'Ask again and you'll be down to eight lives.' Is what I wanted to say, but there was this look on your face. A pleading look.

I look between Enid and you. "Fine, only if you draw it."

You practically jump with excitement as you run into the tent, grabbing the makeup.

You come back shortly after, taking the marker to my face. This is probably the happiest I've ever seen you. You stick your tongue out as you draw some small and simple whiskers on my face.

"Done!" You say with a smile.

"Do I look ridiculous?" I state, flatly.

You shake your head with the same smile. "You look cute, I swear."

For the first time, I feel my face feel a little warmer due to your words.

We finished getting prepared for the Poe Cup, lined up in our boats. Enid looks to the right, meeting eye contact with Ajax and smiling.

"Focus." I say to the back of Enid's head, her posture focusing forward to my words.

I feel Y/n's eyes on the back of my head for a moment causing me to turn around. I am met with her usual smile.

Xavier looks between Y/n and I, interrupted by Bianca. Her voice full of confidence.

"What do we have here? The runt of the litter."

I look at Bianca's face. I can't wait to wipe that look of it.

"For the record, I don't believe I'm better than everyone else. Just that I'm better than you."

Bianca's face loses confidence as Principal Weems starts to speak.

"I want to welcome you all to the Edgar Allen Poe Cup. This is one of Nevermore's proudest annual traditions dating back 125 years." Principal Weems says into a microphone with a smile.

"Each team must row across to Raven Island, pull their flag from Crackstone Crypt, and hustle back without sinking or being sunk."

I look at Thing crawling towards my feet for a moment near a couple of switches on the floor of the boat.

"The first team to cross the finish line with their flag wins the cup and bragging rights for a year, as well as some special privileges."

Weems points a gun to the sky, indicating the race is about to begin. The racers posture get prepared, their eyes focused in front of them.

"Let the Poe Cup begin!" The sound of the blank fires, the competitors immediately start rowing their oars. The sound of cheering fades as we get further from the bank.

"Oh, excuse us." Xavier says teasingly while cutting us off. Xavier's team all has jester hats driving a red boat along with some scary clown makeup. Or at least, trying to be.

A team in a purple boat show up next to us. They pull a lever on their boat followed by the sounds of gears turning.

The axes on the side rise up and swing side ways, going to slice us.

We all duck simultaneously, narrowly avoiding the axes.

Suddenly the purple boat starts moving towards a cone in the water, the competitors on the boats failing to regain stability with their oars until they smash into it. Their boat breaks in half as the competitors fall into the water, exclaiming words of annoyance.

"Y/n did you do that?" I ask, turning my head around to see her shake her head no.

I turn around to see a tail emerge from the water.

"Thing." I say, commanding him to make the next move.

Thing crawls over to the two different switches, pulling one of them down. There is the sound of gears moving and then the sound of a net shooting through the water.

There is the muted noise of a scream under the water. Whoever it was is gonna stay there for awhile.

We reach the shore of Raven Island a moment after Xavier's team does.

I stand to go grab the flag before turning around.

"You stay here and make sure Bianca doesn't sabotage our boat."

Enid and Y/n nod their heads before I go to run to get the flag.

I see the flags as I run to them. Xavier and their teammate running past with theirs.

"Later Wednesday!"

I glance back for a moment as Xavier and Ajax run past me.

I go to grab the black one, putting my hand on the pillar of Crackstone Crypt while grabbing the black flag to stop my motion.

It feels as if electricity is coursing through my body as I fall onto the ground, entering a vision.

I stand up, finding myself back at Crackstone Crypt, except it's foggier and the atmosphere is illuminated by the moon shining a deep red. I turn to find a woman facing away from me in a white bed dress with white hair past her hips.

Her hair looks ethereal as it reflects the moonlight and flows elegantly in the wind.

I notice she has cuts on her arms and legs, blood dripping from each wound down her limbs till they pool together. The blood dripping onto the floor from her fingertips.

I find myself turned around to meet a woman with blonde hair braided on each side of her head down in front on her shoulders and my face. It felt as if I was looking into a corrupted mirror. Its silent for a moment before she speaks.

"You are the key."

"Taking a cat nap?" I am brought back into reality as I open my eyes to Bianca grabbing the flag and running back towards the shoreline.

I glance at Crackstone Crypt, taking in what I saw in my vision for a moment before I quickly get back onto my feet as I run back to our boat.

"Come on, hurry up we have to go!" Enid says while I put the flag up and sit in my seat.

We start to catch up as Xavier's boat slows down, sinking into the water.

"See, ya jokers!" Enid shouts while we pass them.

"I just asked myself, WWWD, what would Wednesday do?" About time my deviousness started to rub off onto others.

We start to approach Bianca's team's boat. I pull down the second switch revealing four spears emerging for our boat.

We start to approach their boat, getting intimidatingly close until there's a sudden push on the boat pushing us away.

We're being pushed towards one of the cones like that other team. Y/n and I see Thing jump into the water. Thing swims through the water to see a siren pushing our boat. He swims to build up speed before punching him at full force in the face. A few seconds later the boat restabilizes with the pressure removed from the boat.

After we make some distance I hear Y/n from behind me

"Accio!" She has her hand out towards the water, The severed hand comes flying from the water into her grasp.

"Thing are you okay?!" She sets him down so she can keep rowing. "That was awesome!"

My eyes soften for a moment, only for a moment at your worry for my family member.

Soon we start to get closer to Bianca's boat again. When we start to get too close, all four of them push at our boat with their oars to keep the spears from penetrating theirs.

We keep trying to push our boat past their makeshift barrier, until I feel our boat slow down for a second as Y/n stopped rowing. She has her wand pulled out.

She flicks it towards their boat. "Aqua menti!"

Suddenly their boats starts rapidly filling with crystal clear water, sinking at the rapidly increasing weight in their boat.

"Y/n you're going to pay for that!" Bianca shouts with an angry expression on her face. Meanwhile Y/n is smiling at the satisfaction of outsmarting her.

We keep pushing our boat towards theirs so they can't attempt to get any of the water out of their boat until they have fully sunk.

"Quick thinking Y/n!" Enid shouts back to her.

"I never thought you had a competitive spirit in you!"

I glance back to see Y/n with a shy smile plastered onto her face.

We finally get the boat to the dock, all us of running to the finish line flag in hand.

Applause fills the air as we cross the finish line.

"We did!" Enid is jumping erratically, carrying the flag in hand

"This is the greatest moment of my life!" I see Enid shaking Y/n by her shoulders before turning her gaze to me.

"Admit it, you kinda got into the whole school spirit thing."

I glance to the water to see Bianca with an angry expression written on her face as she climbs onto the dock, before seeing Y/n's eyes on me full of admiration.

"You didn't tell me it was a dark, vengeful spirit."

I find myself standing awkwardly in front of the whole school with the rest of the black cats, I look to the side to see Wednesday probably the most annoyed I'll ever see her.

"The first Poe Cup took place in 1897 as a way to not only honor Nevermore's most famous alumni, but to celebrate those values that all outcasts share. Community, perseverance, and determination."

Enid's face is beaming as her metaphorical tail wags at the attention.

"And we certainly saw those values on display today."

Weems hands Enid the trophy as everyone cheers. "Congratulations to Ophelia Hall!"

I see Wednesday taking advantage of the applause to leave. So, like usual, I follow her as she sits under the Edgar Allen Poe statue at the end of a dark hallway.

"You okay?" I say as I catch up, her gaze meeting mine before she notices something in her peripheral vision, causing her to up at the book the statue is holding.

"What, did you see something?" I quickly approach and look under the book to see the symbol from before.

"Holy shit this is huge!" I look back down to Wednesday with excitement in my eyes.

Enid approaches from behind. "What are you two doing back here?"

"Hiding." Wednesday states flatly. "People keep randomly smiling at me, it's unsettling."

Enid grabs both of us by the arm, dragging us back towards the quad.

"It's called having your moment, you took down Bianca Barclay. Try to enjoy it."

We walk back out into the quad before Enid continues. "The girls wanna know if you two wanna hangout later."

Wednesday and I look at each other, as if confirming our plans to investigate the statue tonight.

"Oh come on, it won't kill you."

Wednesday takes a moment to respond. "I'll think about it."

Enid skips past us to a table with the trophy on it, with the biggest smile on her face.

"You two are starting to become quite the pair." Principal Weems sneaks up onto us.

"Impressive use of that spell Y/n. Your mother used that same spell when she was on Mrs. Addams and I's team back when we competed in the Poe Cup back in the day."

"Thank you Principal Weems." I say with a smile. I don't get to hear about my parents often, so any time is a welcome surprise.

"And you Wednesday." Principal Weems continues, her gaze moving to her. "I'm glad to see you finally fitting in."

Wednesday is silent for a moment before we both turn around to see Bianca seething at her table. I find a smile creeping on my face due to our true victory.

Wednesday and I approach the statue. The only light being casted from the moon and a light charm from the end of my wand.

We stand on the base of the statue to look inside the book to find a series of questions listed. Wednesday instantly starts writing down answers before I can help.

Soon she stops writing and comes down from the base, I follow her. She stands in front of the statue, staring at her notepad.

I take a step closer, our shoulders touching as I look into her notepad. "Can I?" I hold out my hand over the notepad.

Wednesday hands me her pen. I circle the letters to the left to form one word.

It clicks in Wednesday's head. She lowers the notepad, and holds her hand up. The sound of two snaps fill the hallway, followed by the sound of gears shifting and the scrapping of concrete as the statue moves backwards.

A staircase is revealed beyond the statue. Wednesday and I glance at a each before heading down.

At the bottom of the staircase we find a library with a marble floor with the symbol from before. The room is filled with dust and cobwebs.

Wednesday quickly finds that some dust is missing from a section of the bookshelf. Wednesday grabs the book, and finds the other half of the missing page.

She quickly closes the book, putting it in her bag. Wednesday turns around to leave.

"You think there's anything else down here that we need?" I ask, Wednesday turns around again to meet my face a few steps away from me.

Suddenly, I find a bag over my head as my vision goes dark. I drop my wand onto the floor out of fear, cancelling the light spell that use to illuminate the abandoned room.

Part 6.

Past Lives Masterlist

a/n: I was thinking about making this chapter longer, but it was so satisfying to end it at the end of the actual episode.

[lendeah]

Thank you very much, Gale. Goodnight.

Pairing: Gale x Fem!Reader/Tav

Summary:

Upon reaching the Last Light Inn, your party is informed about the room arrangements: you will have to share rooms in pairs. Fate has it that you find yourself paired with a particularly charming wizard. To add a twist, there's only one bed. or Gale and Tav relive the "there was only one bed" trope.

Tags: Fluff and smut. They are so cute.

Word count: 3.5k

Warnings: NSFW (minors dni), thighs, frottage, heavy petting, mutual masturbation, touch starved Gale.

Note: This was going to be a prompt but it got out of hand. Anyway, a small gift for the Gale girlies (me, I am the Gale girlies). Also, not proofread and english isn't my first language, so be gentle!🫶🏻

"You will have to share rooms in pairs" Yaheira had deadpanned. After our long journey, we finally reached the Last Light Inn. We were hoping for a comfortable bed and some privacy, but our hopes were crushed.

Yaheira didn't seem fazed by our reactions, her expression remaining stoic.

"After all the blood, sweat and tears we poured into saving you lot back there this is the beautiful appreciation we get in return?" Astarion exclaimed dramatically, his tone laced with sarcasm.

Yaheira's cold stare silenced him. "Many soldiers are residing here, sacrificing their own comfort for our cause. Four of them have given up their bedchambers for your stay. You should be grateful," she reprimanded sharply.

The creaky wooden floors and musty smell hinted at the age of the building, but it was a small price to pay for a warm bed and shelter from the danger of the shadows outside. The group stood in a huddle, debating their next move. Wyll's voice rang out confidently "I propose we stay at the camp like we have been doing.".

Karlach's response was immediate and determined: "What, and die in the shadows? No, thank you."

You let out a frustrated sigh, feeling about to faint from weariness. "Guys, we're all exhausted. We should just accept the offer and get some rest. We practically sleep on top of each other every other day anyway."

"Yeah, but not on the same bed." Shadowheart chimed, giving Lae'zel a sly side glance. "And how would we determine who sleeps with whom, anyway?"

Gale, the ever-practical one, interjected: "Perhaps we could employ a method of chance, such as drawing straws, in order to make a resolution?"

So that's how Gale and you end up entering the old dusty and messy bedroom from the last Light Inn. The single bed in the middle seems to be laughing at us.

Gale sighs. "I knew sharing rooms wasn't a good idea. I should just crawl under the bed." He scans the room, eyes coming to rest on the window, with the dark sky looming outside. "I could sleep out there too." He pauses. "The prospect of such a cozy rest is indeed quite alluring. The brisk gusts brushing against my face, as I gaze upwards towards the unobstructed expanse of the starry heavens. Delightful, wouldn't you agree?"

He moves to get out of the door, but you grab his arm, your voice pleading, tinged with desperation from the exhaustion. "Please, Gale, I know it's uncomfortable, but can we just please do this tonight and figure out a better plan tomorrow?"

He swallows, glancing down at your fingers wrapped around his arms. "I-I don't think you realize just how difficult it'll be for me. This bed's too small, and it's too close, and—I can't."

I look at him with my eyes narrowed "If you don't get on the bed in the next five minutes, I am going to use my maze on you. And let me tell you, it hurts"

He looks at me dumbfounded ."...You wouldn't?" You give him a pointed stare. Of course, you don't mean to hurt him, but you are too tired to fight or move for that matter.

He swallows, looking you up and down again. Then he nods and turns toward the bed. "Uh, fine. I guess I'll, uh, get on the bed. However, I cannot guarantee that any peculiar occurrences will not transpire. I mean, not that I expect anything weird to happen. Just, you know, putting it out there. Okay, I'll stop talking now."

Your roll your eyes fondly at his rambling. As Gale awkwardly settles onto the edge of the bed, you quickly change into your undergarments and crawl into the other side. The bed creaks under both of your weight, making Gale flinch. The space feels narrow, forcing you close together. There's barely an inch in between, and any movement sends you brushing up against him. You can feel his body heat radiating off him, a little toasty.

"The dimensions of this bed are rather diminutive," he whispers, staring up at the ceiling under the blanket, unable to make eye contact with you.

"Aren't you sharp" you whisper teasingly.

"It's... it's tiny! How do you expect two fully-grown individuals to successfully sleep in this thing?" He says in an exasperated whisper. It is small, though. Feels like I'm being wrapped in a blanket... Except the blanket is another person.

I sigh in exhasperation, "Gale I am trying to sleep for god's sake!"

Gale shifts uncomfortably, trying to make himself as small as possible on the narrow bed. "I apologize, I didn't mean to disturb your slumber. I just...I can't get comfortable in such confined space."

You let out another sigh, feeling a little bad for him. "I'm sorry. This isn't your fault, but is it possible that we exchange our positions? I don't mean to inconvenience you, but I feel like I can't relax like this. I can sleep on the edge of the bed, and you can sleep in the middle."

You look at him, one second away from grabbing your maze for real. "Gale, there is no middle, every part of this damned bed is the edge!"

Gale, is still fidgeting on his side.

"This is ridiculous," you mutter under your breath.

"I know," he responds quietly. "I'm sorry." He bites his lip, looking up at the ceiling again. "It seems as though you are now stuck with me as your blanket," he says, turning his head in your direction. "I hope this arrangement does not cause any discomfort for you... I would not want to impede upon your sleep."

At that, you can’t help but smile fondly back at him "It could be worse," you remark softly. "I could be stuck with Halsin and his incessant snores."

"Halsin snores?" He blinks in genuine surprise. "I never would have guessed. Is it disruptive? Like a storm tearing through the night?"

You roll your eyes. "You wouldn't know, you sleep like a rock all night." Your words are playful, as you nudge him lightly with your elbow.

"I do not! I am an extremely light sleeper, in fact, the slightest noise can jolt me from my slumber. It's quite a remarkable feat, really." His brow furrows. "Wait, does this imply that you have observed me in my sleep?" He blurts out. He is now on his side too, both of us facing each other.

A soft chuckle escapes from your lips, banishing all thoughts of sleep. "Yeah," you remarked with a playful smile, "I must say, you look really cute when you're sleeping."

The moonlight streaming in through the window cast a gentle glow on Gale's face, making your heart swell with affection. His tousled hair and big brown eyes look even softer in this ambience.

His mouth drops open, his eyebrows now shooting up to his hairline. "I do not look cute while I sleep!"

"So cute, with your cheeks all puffed," you say, reaching out to pinch his cheek playfully.

Gale's face flushes a bright red and he turns away, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"I—I'm not cute when I sleep," he whispers." I am powerful! A talented wizard, a master of magic. I do not need to be "cute". And I'm not!" But as he protests, you can't help but notice the way his cheeks flush and how his hair sticks up in all directions, making him look endearingly disheveled. You can't resist the temptation and reach over to tickle his middle. "Cutie!"

"I am not!" he protests, giggling as you tickle him. "Stop it! You're making me... gahahaha!" His laughter bubbles out of him despite his attempts to hold it in.

You laugh too, enjoying the sound of his laughter. "See? Cute."

"I'm not cute!" he gasps out between laughs. "I'm... hahaha... I'm powerful!" He tries to sit up, but you pin him down with your hand on his chest. "You are cute, Gale. And you're adorable when you laugh," you say, looking into his eyes. He looks at you, his cheeks still flushed with laughter and embarrassment. For a moment, the two of you just stare at each other before Gale clears his throat and lays on his side again.

"Gale?" I call out softly, hoping to break the silence.

"Yes...?"His voice is barely audible.

Smirking mischievously, you decide to push his buttons a little more.

"You know, I have trouble falling asleep unless I'm cuddled up next to someone." you whisper

He flinches. It takes a moment for your request to fully register, and he stares at you with a mixture of shock and confusion.

"...Are you serious? You want me to cuddle you?"

You nod eagerly, a hopeful smile playing on your lips. "Usually it would be Shadowheart offering, but she's not here right now."

"You want—me, to wrap my arms around you, to..."

His eyes narrow. "Am I hearing you right? You're asking me, to hold you?"

You roll my eyes "Yes Gale, that is usually how cuddling works."

Gale looks at you, taken aback by your request. His face flushes with embarrassment as he considers your words. "Um...I-I'm not entirely certain if that would be a prudent course of action," he stammers out, looking away from you.

"Forget it," Frustration wells up inside of you and you let out a low grunt before turning away to face the opposite side of the room.

"Er- I mean, wait, that wasn't a rejection... " He scoots closer, careful not to touch you. You turn yourself, so you are looking at him again. He looks down at you with a nervous expression. "So if I were to, hypothetically speaking, encircle my arms around your form, you wouldn't object?"

For some reason, your heart skips a beat at the thought of his arms around you.

"Well," you respond playfully. "I would probably say something along the lines of 'thank you very much Gale, goodnight'."

He hesitates for a moment before finally inching closer, his arm hovering uncertainly in the air. With a deep breath, he takes the plunge and wraps his arm around you, pulling you gently against his chest. You let out a surprised gasp, not expecting him to actually cuddle you, but the warmth and comfort that radiate from him are welcome in the cold room. You nestle into his embrace, feeling the steady beat of his heart against your ear and inhaling the intoxicating combination of an old book's musty pages and his rich cologne, laced with a subtle hint of sweat. You wrap your arms tighter around his soft body, savoring the feeling of being held in his strong embrace.

"Thank you, Gale" you whisper, intertwining your fingers behind his back. "Goodnight."

As the exhaustion of your journey settles over you, you feel the familiar pull of sleep in your body. However, the moment is disturbed by the feeling of something hard poking your stomach. Your eyes snap open and meet Gale's, who stands there frozen with shock and embarrassment.

"I... I'm sorry," he stammers out, mortified. "I didn't mean for that to happen. It's just been so long and you are so close and..."

Your bodies are still pressend, and you try to make sense of everything. Finally, you laugh softly and pat his arm reassuringly. "It's okay, Gale. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." you say reassuringly, though you can feel a blush creeping up your cheeks.

"But... but I didn't mean for this to happen," he repeats, still clearly flustered.

"It's natural," you say calmly, trying to put him at ease. "It happens sometimes when people get close like this."

Gale nods slowly, still looking a little uncertain. He shifts slightly so that the bulge isn't pressing against your body as much anymore. "Thank you for understanding," he says quietly. Your heart swells with affection as you watch him; there is something endearing about his vulnerability in this moment. You have an overwhelming urge to pull him close, to shield him from any harm and take care of him.

A twinge of guilt tugs at your conscience as you watch the flush rise in his cheeks, a direct result of your teasing. You chew on your lip for a moment before an idea strikes you. "Do you... want me to lend a hand?" You offer tentatively, gazing up at him with soft eyes and a gentle tone. His big brown orbs widen in surprise at your unexpected offer. You are also taken aback by your own words, but don't take them back.

He opens his mouth to speak, but no words come out. You can see the struggle in his expression as he tries to process what you just said.

"I mean, it's completely up to you," you quickly add, not wanting to pressure him into anything. "I just thought maybe it would help alleviate some of your... discomfort."

He takes a deep breath and looks away from you, clearly embarrassed. Gale hesitates for a moment before nodding slowly. "Okay," his voice barely above a whisper.

Your heart races at his acceptance. You were not expecting him to actually agree to your offer, but you are weirdly glad he did. "Okay," you repeat softly, moving your hand down to his waist and pulling him closer. You slowly reach down between both your bodies, gently taking hold of his erection through his pants. Gale gasps softly as your fingers brush against him, sending shivers down his spine. You can feel his breath hitch in anticipation as you start to move your hand up and down. As you gaze up at him, his arms still holding your body, a deep stirring awakens within you. The wizard before you, with his eyes squeezed shut in pleasure, is more attractive than you had ever realized. His tanned skin is like velvet against your fingertips, and his long hair falls over his face in gentle waves. Each reaction to your caress, every soft moan that escapes his lips, only adds fuel to the fire growing inside of you. Looking so eager for your touch.

Without hesitation, you lean forward and capture his lips in a gentle kiss. To your surprise, he responds enthusiastically, his hands moving to rest on your face as he pulls you closer to him. You deepen the kiss, your heart racing at the feeling of his warm lips against yours and the subtle tickle of his beard on your cheeks. As you continue to kiss, your hands never stops the gentle strokes on his erection. Gale's moans are becoming louder and more urgent. You can feel his need growing as he grinds against your hand, seeking more friction.

"L-let me touch you" he says between ragged breaths.

You smile at him, feeling a sense of satisfaction at the effect you're having.

"I have a better idea," you say softly, moving your hand away from his erection. You take off your panties, and move on your side in front of him again. Gale lets out a small gasp as you straddle him, feeling the heat of his arousal pressed against your bare thighs.

"What are you doing?" he asks, his voice thick with both curiosity and lust.

A mischievous grin plays on your lips. "I'm going to give you something even better than my hand to relieve yourself," you purr, swaying your hips in demonstration in a slow, enticing rhythm, that elicits a delicious friction between his cock and the warm heat of your thighs and cunt.

You take one of his hands and guide it to your breast, letting him feel its softness and moaning quietly at the touch. Gale's eyes widen in surprise, gently squeezing it but with his eyes fixed on yours.

"You're so beautiful," he whispers, reaching up to touch your face with his free hand.

"Thank you, so are you," you reply, leaning down to capture his lips in another tender kiss. He seems to find your praise very arousing, as his breathing quickens and he thrusts his hips upward, seeking more contact with your body. In response, you arch your back and press your chest against him, savoring the feel of his erection against your core and thighs.

"I want you so much," he murmurs, his voice rough with desire. "I've been dreaming of this moment for so long but I never- I didn’t think-“ he gasps at a particularly good thrust.

You're not sure how to answer, so instead you keep whispering sweet nothings in his ear. "You're an amazing kisser, Gale," you say, "you touch me so good..."

He moans in your mouth, gripping your hips harder as he keeps pounding erratically. Your hands move to his hair, pulling from the strands and eliciting a small whine from his throat. You can feel the hardness of his erection brushing against your wet folds with every movement, and it sends shivers of pleasure down your spine. You let out a moan into his lips as his fingers find their way to your clit, rubbing small circles that send sparks of pleasure throughout your body. Feeling his arousal growing even more, you know he won't last much longer, so you move your hips in a faster rhythm, grinding against his cock with more urgency.

Gale lets out a low growl, his hands gripping your hips tightly as he matches your movements. The friction between your bodies is almost unbearable, but in the most delicious way possible. As you continue to move together, your breaths growing heavier and more ragged, you can feel the familiar sensation of your orgasm building within you too. Gale seems to be close as well, as he begins to thrust deeper and harder into your thighs, his breath hot and ragged against your neck. You can hear the slap of skin and the squelching sound of your now wet thighs.

"Oh, gods," he gasps out, feeling himself getting closer and closer to the edge. "I'm gonna..."

His body suddenly tenses up as he comes undone, his hips bucking wildly as he spills himself into the soft skin. For several moments, Gale lies there panting and gasping for breath.

"Oh, gods," he gasps out. "That was...amazing."

You lean and press a gentle kiss to his lips, smiling at him as you do.

"I'm glad it brought you pleasure," you whisper softly, running your fingers through his hair.

Suddenly, his skilled fingers find their way back to your core. He seems to sense that you didn't reach climax with him earlier and now he's determined to make sure you do. His touch is intense as he circles and rubs against your clit, sending waves of pleasure coursing through your body. You let out a moan, arching your back and grinding against his hand. He watches you with intense desire in his eyes as he continues to pleasure you.

"Gods, you're so beautiful," he murmurs, his voice husky with lust. "I am not going to be able to forget this."

His words only fuel your desire even more, and you can feel yourself getting closer to the edge once again. Your nails dig into his shoulders as you ride the waves of pleasure, your hips moving in sync with his fingers.

"I want to make you feel good," Gale says breathlessly, kissing along your neck and collarbone. "Tell me what feels good."

You guide his hand lower, signaling for him to enter you with his fingers. He complies eagerly, sliding two fingers inside of you and curling them just right to hit that perfect spot. You cry out in pleasure, your walls clenching around him. You know you are not going to last long, still sensitive from the previous ministrations.

"Thank the heavens and hells," Gale groans, looking at me like I am a work of art. Setting a steady pace with his fingers, he kisses down your chest and takes one nipple into his mouth. The combination of sensations has you teetering on the edge once again.

"I-I'm close," you manage to say between gasps.

"Come for me," Gale whispers against your skin, increasing the speed and pressure of his movements.

With a final thrust of his fingers and a flick of his tongue against your hardened nipple, you come undone in a powerful climax that leaves you panting and shaking in Gale's arms. He holds onto you tightly as he continues to pleasure you through the aftershocks.

"That was incredible," he murmurs against your skin as he peppers kisses all over your face.

"Yes it was," you reply dreamily, still basking in the afterglow.

Gale pulls out from between your thighs and settles down next to you, his strong arms enveloping you in a warm embrace. As you press your body closer to his, you feel a subtle shift, an unspoken understanding passing between the two of you. Instead of voicing it out loud, you turn to him and whisper,

"Thank you very much, Gale. Goodnight"

Chapter 3

Kuroo Tetsurou x reader

Wc: 1664

Summary: You, a dedicated member of the girls' volleyball team, find an unexpected connection with Kuroo Tetsurou. Igniting a bond over shared passions and stolen moments, love blossoms on the court; all because you met him at a captains meeting.

<— Previous | Masterlist | Next —>

Taglist: @merlucide, @lemurzsquad, @02shuuu

After a grueling week, your tryouts officially ended. There was already an idea of what the lineup would be looking like, but your coach wanted to have a meeting about it.

Which is why you're at school on your only days off from both practice and your studies. Normally, meetings weren't every week, but it was a new season so they'd be more frequent for the first couple of weeks.

Your team had been too busy with tryouts to have a practice match with the boys', but it'd be happening this upcoming week and you were so excited.

"Good morning." You say walking into the gym, Kuroo and coach Nekomata were both seated—well Kuroo was on the floor, lying on his stomach.

"Good morning." Kuroo smiled, then began writing on his piece of paper on the floor.

"Where's Mori at?" You look around confusingly, trying to spot her light brown hair, pulled back into a loose pony tail.

"Her office, I think." Kuroo answers.

"I thought she said the bathroom?" Coach Nekomata furrows his brows and in response Kuroo shrugs. You sit down next to him and eye his paper, he's drawing up some lineups.

You frown at the absence of your coach. She made you get up early when you should be sleeping in like the rest of your teammates. The worst part is she didn't bribe you this time so you had nothing to look forward to.

Kuroo finishes and hands his paper to his coach, he examines it and held onto it for a minute or two. He kicks his feet, waiting for feedback. You laugh at him silently, in your head. He's kinda cute.

"What do you think about this, Y/n?" Coach Nekomata hands you the paper, it's slightly crumpled, you're starting to think that all of Kuroo's papers are.

You take it from his hands and look at the rotations, "I think a 5-1 is a good choice, especially if your second setter is clearly outplayed by Kenma." You follow the rotations more, seeing which players are getting switched.

"You guys also run a 5-1 too, right?" Kuroo bites the inside of his cheek, not wanting to sound like a creep for knowing.

"Yeah," you chuckle, "I think it looks great. You have a good use of substitutions." You smile and hand back the paper to him. His hand brushes yours for a millisecond as he grabs it.

"This is the lineup we'll beat your team with." He smirks.

"Oh yeah? Confident, I like it." You say,the door to the gym opens and all of your heads turn. "And where were you? We agreed on 9:30 am sharp. You're late." You lecture.

"Oh please, I don't want to hear it." She laughs. "I was here before you, I just had to get some things from my office." She shuffles some things around in her backpack, then pulls out a blank piece of paper, like Kuroo's, just not crumpled. "Start thinking of some lineups." She says.

You frown, "Can I borrow that?" You point to Kuroo's pencil and he immediately nods and slides it to you. "Thank you."

"I think we got this one in the bag." Kuroo now flips from his stomach to his back and faces the gym ceiling.

"Uh-huh, sure." You draw out the last word. "How many tournaments have you won?"

He clicks his tongue, "We've won."

"Recently?" You raise an eyebrow, staring into his eyes.

He can feel his cheeks begin to heat up, he turns away before you could see, "Yeah well, you lost some valuable players last season."

"We have good first-years." You say, "I heard one of your first-years can't receive well, isn't that what your team's known for?"

The two coaches watch you two banter back and forth, Mori reminding Kuroo that you had to finish the rotations still and to stop distracting you. The meeting was pretty short, there wasn't a lot to cover besides lineups.

"You're staying?" You point between the two coaches, Kuroo and you helped clean up and were ready to leave.

"We've got a board meeting in a little." Coach Nekomata says and you nod, bidding them goodbye for the day as you walk out with Kuroo.

You're not surprised to see that it's lightly raining, since it had been all week, and yet you still didn't bring an umbrella. "You have an umbrella?"

"Of course I do." He chuckles, opening it and luckily it was big enough for the two of you to be under. "Have you eaten already?"

You shook your head, "I was starving that whole time," you laugh, "Have you?"

He shook his head, "There's this convenience store by my house, you wanna go get something?" He strengthens his grip on the umbrella.

"Yeah." You smile.

He lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding and turns his head so he can smile like a schoolgirl, he quickly recomposes himself and look forward again.

You thought Kuroo was nice, you've never really gotten to know him, but you were semi-close to Kai, one of his teammates, only because he was in your class.

"How'd you feel about the first week of classes?" You ask after a moment of silence.

"Pretty easy, I'm enjoying it while it lasts." He says and you chuckle.

"Yeah, it gets rough around June and July. We usually use the first hour of practice to study before actually playing." You say.

"So you guys practice less?" Kuroo is intrigued by this, he had never heard of a team doing anything like it.

"No, we extend it to end an hour later, coach just wants to make sure we at least do something productive before practice." You clarify.

He hums, "I'm sure you have no issue passing exams." He compliments.

You smile, "Not really, I study frequently. I could say the same about you." You slightly nudge him.

He shrugs and rolls his eyes playfully, "Aw stop it, I just pay attention, that's all."

"Consider that the last time I compliment you." You laugh.

"I'm kidding! I appreciate it, thanks." He laughs along with you. "This is it." He says, looking both ways before crossing the street to the convenience store. The second you spot food, your stomach began to grumble.

You found yourself in a different aisle than Kuroo, trying to choose from the two onigiri in your hand. You decided to take both, you're extremely hungry. Kuroo came up next to you in line, you noticed he had a sandwich and a drink, an iced tea you think.

It was your turn next in line, you kindly greeted the man at the register and placed your items on the counter. What you didn't expect was to see Kuroo's items placed next to yours, you turn confusingly, but he had already given the man his card.

"You didn't have to—"

"Nonsense. I'm the one who asked you to come." He smiles widely, then quickly takes his card back and puts it inside of his wallet. "Cmon, let's eat." He grabs the bag full of your shared items.

"Thank you." You sincerely say, feeling a little bad about him paying, not that it was expensive, but still.

"Of course." The rain had stopped, the sun began to come out of the gray clouds. He leads you to one of the benches at a nearby park, it had an umbrella so it wasn't too soaked.

"God, I'm starving." He says, handing you your items.

You agree with him and a comfortable silence falls between you two as you're both distracted with eating. You eye the area around you, it was unfamiliar, but it wasn't too far from your home.

You watch an owner play with her dog, repeatedly throwing the ball for the dog to run and get it, it made you smile. You crumble up the wrapper the onigiri was in and place it on the table.

"You know," You begin, Kuroo was also watching the dog, but now his eyes were looking into yours, "I've lived here for a while now and I've never been to this park before."

Kuroo chuckles, "It's nice, right?" And you nod. "Kenma and I would play here all the time."

"That sounds nice." You smile and begin watching the dog again, Kuroo can't help but continue to stare at you.

"He didn't like it very much, his arms would hurt after playing volleyball for a long time." Kuroo recalls the memory.

"I believe that. I'm surprised he's still playing." You honestly say.

"I think he likes it. In his own way." He shrugs. "You and Himari are close, too."

You smile, thinking of your best friend, "Yeah, we grew up next to each other. It was nice having someone in the same grade, it felt like I wasn't going through anything alone."

"I get that, she's like a sister to you." He says and you immediately agree. Both of your families had been close since the day they moved in. "You don't have siblings don't you?"

"No, only child." You shrug.

"I have an older sister." He says.

"Really?" You're surprised, you would've thought he was an only child.

"Yeah, she's way older, so I don't see her very often." As he finishes his sentence, the sun quickly goes away and the sounds of thunder hit your ears. "Oh shit." Kuroo says.

"I think it's gonna rain again." You say, "I better get going."

"I hope it's not too long of a walk." Kuroo says, worried that you're going to get soaked.

"No, don't worry it's not." You smile, "I'll see you later. Thank you again for paying!" You say as you leave, speed walking towards your house.

Kuroo watches you get further and further away, his heart was pounding from the moment you walked into the gym. A small smile remains on his face as he walks back home.

How would Host react if one day I decided to dress up as and mimic him for a show

Just what are you up to today?

As a consumer of tricks and mischief himself, Host could tell you had a few up your sleeve from the smirk in your eyes down to the tiny hiccups between each word as you asked him to keep all eyes off your dressing room today. Cute. He decided to play along as he had full trust you wouldn't run off, and only a monster would resist such a harmless and innocent request. He was a tad disappointed to hear you wouldn't be there to start the show, but as long as you were there by its climax it'd be yet another smash hit. Host figured he'd do his part and hype up the crowd for your arrival. He hasn't been this excited since that corrupt politician you brought on the other week. His tie is grey today. That's an interesting development

The curtains draw and Host steps out on stage, welcomed by the cheers and appulse of your crowd. They're a rowdy lot today - right off the bat. What's got them so livened up already?

"Good-Day, Folks. Welcome to another exciting episode of your favorite show -"

"With your favorite host!"

Host taps his mic. He wasn't used to feedback unless for comedic effect. The crowd cheers and hollers all the same from the combined greeting - and from the unsteady click of heels on the title floor Host knew he was no longer alone. He twists his head to look back at the figure emerging from the cover of shadows - microphone in hand.

"Well, Well - what's this now? Surprised to see me?"

A confident smirk dawns their face; stride as professional and flashy as their bandaged eyes could lead guided by two stage hands. Their usual flare swapped out with a grey business suit. Hair slicked back to the best of their capabilities and voice carrying that boastful charm. His copy walks up to him, halted by one of their helpers. They whisper something in their ear and the copy's smile grows.

"If it isn't my doppelganger. Handsome devils, aren't we?"

Host does a doubletake at your attire; camera zoomed in on you from all angles. Posture to dress - you were a spitting image; eyes wrapped up with some bandages to complete his signature look. Feeling the relentless stares you've grown accustomed to, you tilt your head up at him. You swap your mic with his as you saulter over to his desk, kicking your feet up on the table as you take your seat. Your left leg missing the table due to your altered sight, but you pick yourself back up and swing it over your right.

"That's better. These shoes are killing me. Speaking of which, how are our dear guests?."

The stage goes dead quiet. Not even a whisper, or an awkward cough to clear the air. You lift your hand up to remove the bandages.

"Haha..."

Host's chest rises with a breath.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

He keels over, clutching his ribcage as he bellows a pitched laugh perfectly synced with the millions of voices in the crowd. He laughs harder, bending to his knees as he squeezes his chest tighter and tighter til theirs a faint crack!. He snickers; practically wheezing as he tries to get out a single word between his fit of hysterics. He scrapes black mucus from the corners of his mouth, shoulders bouncing with a silent giggle as he rises and stumbles over in your direction.

"Y/n... Your performance.. It's so spectacular, it's moved me to tears! I knew I picked the most excellent show host in the biz. I haven't laughed that hard in ages. I think I've fallen in love all over again! I knew you'd always upstage me, but if there's anyone who could successfully steal my show - it's you."

The overhead lights blind you as he carefully peals the wrappings from your face. "But if I can make one request, do be a me solid and don't cover up these pretty eyes of yours. Can't have a good show if every part of you isn't accounted for, and you'll need them to see the faces on our dear guests when we bring them out. Today, more than any, we'll knock'em for sure. I look forward to your full act."

Can i req a ILUNA x Artist Fem! Reader

Where reader sketches and draws alot of the ILUNA members and one day they see her sketchpad just full of drawings of them

*Bonus points if they find any spicy or suggestive drawings of them*

Sincerely ILUNALOVER1000 anon 🌈

ft. maria marionette, kyo kaneko, aia amare, aster arcadia, scarle yonaguni, ren zotto (separate) x gn! reader — iluna, nijisanji en

╰₊✧ reacting to your suggestive art of them┊0.5k words

contains: mentions of suggestive art obviously, ren’s alien anatomy 

➤ author's note: i couldn’t really think of unique reactions to the reader being an artist because they would all be so supportive? it’s very short and sweet so feel free to send in a different request :)

maria marionette is surprised. even if she wears cute, girlish clothes, she’ll be the first to admit that her body type is a straight rectangle without curves of any sort. it hasn’t really been an insecurity of hers, but it made her think it wasn’t really possible to draw or photograph her in a desirable light when she’s just too cute so she really appreciates your art showing herself in a different perspective. 

kyo kaneko is flabbergasted. his jaw remains unhinged as he stares at the pages in some strange mixture of disgust and fascination, eyes moving from you and the sketches at a cartoonish pace. he’s not completely against it, but you’re really using him as a reference for anatomy practice? him? the crayola twink with an ass flatter than paper? he’ll probably tell you to stop drawing him naked and put your skills towards commissions instead because he knows you could make a decent amount of money with your talents.

aia amare is amused. she’ll cut them out or at least copy them to hang up in her room, probably at her desk area where she works. it’s nothing too strange to her, she’s probably drawn you in suggestive poses as well— hell, she’s probably drawn you heavily pregnant with her child as a joke regardless if you are male or female. if you want, she’ll even give you advice on how to improve your anatomy and claim you draw her tits too small.

aster arcadia is flustered. his pale face is comically red from the tip of his nose to the shell of his ears, yet he still won’t let you pull it away from him as he flips through the pages. the type to run around and jump onto furniture to prevent you from taking back the sketchbook, he just wants to keep staring at them because he’s in awe of the way you managed to capture his androgyny. 

scarle yonaguni is flattered. a mix of aia and aster’s reactions, she’ll also want to keep her own copies of your drawings of her and will play a lengthy game of keep-away because she isn’t ready to part with them yet. she’ll hang them in her bedroom as a reminder of how sexy she is in your eyes, giving her a confidence boost every morning when she wakes up. will offer to do nude modeling for you, but if you actually take her up on her offer, she’ll end up getting too embarrassed and antsy to stay still in such a vulnerable state under your gaze.

ren zotto is nonchalant. he’s the most normal about it all, probably didn’t even register what you were doing until he noticed you acting strange about it so he did a double-take. will point at the paper and say something like “my dick doesn’t look at like, that— i thought you out of anyone would know that” with his iconic fuckboy laugh as you sputter that it was just a sketch and you weren’t done yet.

A Little Inspiration

Bang Chan x Reader

info/masterlist

word count: 1.8K

genre: non-idol au, fluff?, cute flirty chan!!!, localmusician!chan

summary: after seeing each others open mic night performances, you and chan get together for a songwriting session

warnings: some kissing at the end, but thats really all! not proofread...

a/n: this fic came to be after the chan/jeongin 2 kids episode with black hole! that song makes an appearance in the fic:)

Every Sunday night you found yourself in the same place. For months, you and your band had been regulars at the open mic night held at a cozy downtown café. The stage, adorned with twinkling lights and a warm ambiance, served as the perfect backdrop for budding musicians like yourselves to showcase your talents.

Your group had performed a new concept last week, so today you were heading out just to take in the performances others had to offer. Upon entering the cafe, your nose is hit with the familiar scent of coffee and pastries. You glance around before finding an empty table on the side of the cafe that still gives you a good view of the stage where musicians have already been cycling through for the past hour. You tended to see a lot of familiar faces being a weekly regular, but the man who approached the stage was not one of them.

“Um…Hello everyone,” He spoke softly, tapping the mic to make sure it was on. “I’m Chris, you may know me online as CB97…” He trailed off, checking his phone to make sure his lyrics were all in order. This was a typical practice for the performers at the open mic night. Most of the time artists were there to test out brand new works, hoping to see how the audience reacts. 

“This song is not yet titled, so if you get a vibe, come find me later on.” He seemed shy, and you wondered how that would translate to his music, but as the first few seconds of his beat came in, you couldn’t draw yourself away from his performance. His shy demeanor had completely vanished as he rapped with immense precision. 

You tapped your foot to the beat, watching the way he existed up until the end of the song, his black fluffy hair bouncing as he moved with the rhythm. As he wrapped up, the cafe gave him a generous amount of applause. Thanking everyone, he left the stage to head to his table of friends. It was crazy to you that even coming here every week, that was your first time seeing him perform. Surely you would have remembered someone as talented as that.

As the night closed, you still found yourself drawn to him and his performance, offering glances up until you checked the time, grabbing your bag to head home. You got up to leave the cafe, not before turning  back to offer one more glance at his table before heading into the breezy night and starting your walk back to your apartment. 

“Hey,” You heard, jumping a little and turning around to greet the voice. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” He laughed.

“No, no it’s okay…”Your voice trailed off turning around to see the man you had been so impressed with.

“You’re awfully quiet for someone who couldn't keep their eyes off me all night.”

Your cheeks flushed red, hearing such a bold comment.

“I-I’m sorry?” You spoke, a bit flustered at the confidence exuding from him. He was so shy before starting his song, you couldn't understand where this came from. He reached a hand up to scratch the back of his neck, giving a small laugh.

“That was a bit forward,” He began. “I’m Chris.” He reaches his hand out and you take it in a quick handshake. 

“Y/N,” You speak. “I really enjoyed your set tonight. Your original songs were unlike anything I’ve heard before.”

He offered you a small smile before going back to the shy person you saw before his performance. “Oh, really? Thanks, I appreciate it.” He twiddles his thumbs a bit before speaking up again, “I saw your band play last week, your vocals are insane.”

Your eyes go big. How could you have missed his presence the last time you took the stage?  “Really? Thank you! We were just doing covers, it was nothing impressive.” 

Chris gives a small laugh.

“Don’t put yourself down, it was amazing. Have you ever written an original?”

The real answer is yes. You had notebooks and paper scattered around your room all scribbled with notes in lyrics. You had written tons of songs, but the issue was that none of them felt genuine. Love songs pulled from your imagination, break up ballads based on stories your friends told. You had tons of ideas, but the stories weren’t real and therefore the songs never left the paper.

“I’ve definitely tried,” You look down, glancing between your shoes and the pavement you stood on. “Just don’t have much to pull from when it comes to… inspiration.”

Chris nods his head softly. Writing songs could be the most challenging thing if you have nowhere to pull ideas from. 

“Well if you want to get together soon, maybe we could have a little song writing workshop? I’ve been doing this a while and I’d love to see what you have so far.” He pulls out his phone, reaching out to hand it to you.

“Put your number in, I’d really like to meet up sometime,” He offers you a warm smile as you type in your information.

Earlier in the week, you and Chris had made plans to meet at your apartment. You scrambled to clean up the mess of papers scattered on the floor of your living room from the small bout of musical inspiration that hit at 1am the night before. Right as you shuffled the last of the papers onto your coffee table, there was a small knock on your door. You took a deep breath, trying to contain your nerves as you opened the door to Chruis and his guitar.

“Thank you for having me over!” Chris gave a smile as you guided him into your living room. He looked around the decorations in your living room. A drum kit in the corner, guitars on the wall. He could only assume you were in charge of hosting band practices.

“Sorry about all the papers, I thought I had something last night, but…” You trail off as Chris takes a seat on your couch and starts shuffling through the papers on your coffee table. He hums to himself, attempting to sight read the notes you had scribbled down in a sleepy haze. 

“Y/N, this is really good so far,” You walk around the table to take a seat next to him.

“You really think so? I can’t figure out a bridge… I don’t know, none of it feels genuine. I mean, how do you even write a song about something you know nothing about?” You quietly, the last part not meaning to come out. Chris furrows his brows, looking you up and down. 

“What do you mean you know nothing about? You’ve never let yourself fall in love?”

You silently shake your head, hoping he would drop the topic. This is why you never let your songs go further than the papers you shoved under your bed. Chris grabs a pencil off the table and allows himself to sink more into the couch. He gives a small sigh, starting to finally understand you a bit more. 

“Well let’s see what we can come up with,” He flips through the pages once more finding some lyrics to help you expand upon. “I really like where you were going with the star symbolism. The two stars represent our lovers, right?”

You nodded watching him chew the end of the pencil in his hand. He gives a small hum before scribbling something on the page. You glance over to see what he had written, inching yourself a little closer. 

“You know, I read somewhere that when two stars collide, the gravity from both stars can create a black hole. Black holes draw you in, it’s like being drawn into your partner deeper and deeper, even if it’s not always perfect.” He picks up his guitar, strumming out one of the chords you had marked out on the page. “Let’s go from there, ya?”

You pick up your paper and sing along to the first few lyrics to give him a feel of the melody you had in mind.

“In the dark night sky, I feel the empty space”

You continue to sing along with his strumming until you reach the chorus where you found yourself stuck last night.

“That’s about where I lost any and all inspiration,” You say with a small laugh. “I was toying with something along the lines of falling in love but it all was sounding too cheesy.”

“I fall…” He starts. “I fall… I fall into you again, into your heart,”

Your eyes grow wide and you grab the other pencil on the table.

“Yes! That’s perfect!”

Chris puts his guitar down so he could focus more on the lyrics with you. He scoots himself just a bit closer to share the paper, your shoulders now touching.

“Keep going, what else?” He encourages. 

You tap the pencil on your thigh, “I guess I can try something like ‘I fall into you again, into your heart. I just can’t pick myself up?”

Chris shakes his head a bit.

“That’s too easy, play with the metaphors a bit. What about that black hole, what else is going on in space?”

Your smile falls. You knew you were trying to take the easy way out with the lyrics, but that was all your mind could come up with. You can’t even remember the last time someone fell in love with you. 

“I have zero inspiration, I can’t.”

Chris lifts his hand to your chin, turning you to look at him. His cold touch sends a shiver down your spine and a blush to your cheeks.

“I know you have it in you, you just need to find something to be inspired by.” He looks down at your lips before looking back in your eyes, waiting for a silent approval. You bring yourself closer, your faces only inches apart.

“I-I fall into you again, into your heart,” you started to speak out the lyrics Chris had written before he closed the gap, joining your lips together. He snakes his hands down to touch your waist as you pull away slightly.

“Leaving myself to gravity,”

Chris places soft kisses on your jawline before bringing himself back up to your lips.

“I’m trapped in your space again, there’s nothing I can do…”

You deepen the kiss after letting him add on to the lyrics. You bring your arms up to wrap around his neck so there is virtually no space between you two. You could feel the spark between you two as your lips danced together. The space that tears apart the night sky, we can’t stop.

Chris breaks the kiss, leaning his forehead against yours, “Swirling up the vast emptiness, we will shine”

You smile, feeling something you don’t think you have ever felt before. 

“I think we make a good songwriting team,” he laughs, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. He couldn't look away from the blush that deepened on your face. The way you looked mesmerized him the very first time he saw you perform.

“I think maybe we both just needed a little inspiration.”

a/n: happy new year my lovelies!! i hope you enjoyed some localmusician!chan :) this fic was honestly so self indulgent, i'm in a band and something about this whole situation just makes me melt my goodness!!!

xdinary heroes / your weekend.

gerne: fluff (sfw)

warning: maybe too lazy

words: ~900

from the author: еnglish is not my native language, enjoy reading! (*´︶`*)ฅ♡

Gunil

♡ Gonil, as a leader, will try hard for the benefit of the group, so most likely the dates will take place in the studio while the guy practices his drumming.

♡ You try your best to take care of him, and since there is nothing to do on the weekend except lie down. It would be a good idea to prepare something for Gonil and go to the company.

♡ He’s very cute when he’s busy working, so You just wanted to watch. Yes, perhaps you needed some attention from him, but for now he is reeeeeeeeally busy.

♡ But still, the moment will come when Gunil will clearly get tired and need rest. Then you will need to force him to be distracted, in the worst case, drag him away from the drums yourself. But Gunil still agrees to a break.

♡ You will eat food prepared by you, talk about music, literature, quotes and everything that you have wanted to tell for so long. But most importantly, spend this time together.

♡ I think that some kind of force majeure will happen, after which you will giggle at each other.

Jungsu

✿ Jungsu had been looking for a reason to take you on a date to an amusement park for a long time, and the most suitable moment fell on your weekend.

✿ How much childish joy was in your eyes when you arrived at the park. Various stalls with cotton candy, popcorn and other sweets attracted them to take them, and attractions beckoned them to ride them.

✿ You decided to ride only a few of them since the rest seemed scary.

✿ Taking one large cotton candy for two you walked around the park. We ended our walk on the Ferris wheel, looking at the city from high up in each other's arms.

✿ At the end of the day, Jungsu walked you home and left you a light and embarrassed kiss on your forehead, already looking forward to the next day off.

Gaon

♡ Not knowing how to spend this day, you turn on a random playlist, and while breakfast was being prepared, Jiseok began to move to the beat of the song, and you joined in.

♡ After breakfast, you stood in front of the mirror and started moving again. They were completely different, and it didn't matter if you didn't know how to dance, the focus was on imitating each other, creating joint choreography.

♡ At some point, one of you will get tired and start clapping to support the other so that he moves more confidently.

♡ So unnoticed you will spend seemingly ordinary days, fun and together.

O. de

✿ On this day you didn’t want to do anything at all, so after breakfast you went back to bed.

✿ After a while, I became terribly bored and decided to watch some series on laptop. You had to get up for a while to bring it and some snacks

✿ Here you lie again, watching the first series you come across. He seemed to be interesting, with a high rating among the others, but Seungmin still thought that you were much more interesting.

✿ He'll take just a quick glance at the action on the screen, then turn to you and draw attention to himself, for example, running her hair through his fingers, looking at your enchanted face, holding your hand, stealing a snack right in front of your eyes. Basically, anything that can distract you.

Junhan

♡ There was absolutely nothing to do, time passed slowly and was as boring as possible. You guys couldn't figure out what to do with yourself. We didn’t want to go for a walk, it was raining outside. Games on the phone are, in principle, terribly boring, as is watching TV channels.

♡ At some point, you again started meaningless conversations about everything in the world and reached the interests of each other. Junhan talked about how he likes to build with construction sets, as well as his great passion for comics.

♡ This was a small start. You simply began to assemble Lego pieces into various shapes, while simultaneously maintaining the same conversation about hobbies.

♡ Later, after collecting a joint model of an airplane, Junhan decided to show off his shelf with a lot of bright comics. He began consulting on which ones he really liked and which ones he didn’t really like. You started talking about various genres, especially romantic comedies.

♡ Still, you managed to brighten up this rainy day with such a homely atmosphere.

Jooyeon

✿Jooyeon has arranged a date for you, which should take place at his house. The guy didn’t hold on to the intrigue the moment you gathered with him, so he immediately pointed to a stack of video games and a console.

✿ It was difficult to understand and remember which joystick buttons you need to press in order to perform at least some action. Jooyeon helped a lot with this, always explaining and pointing out mistakes.

✿ After a while, you finally decided to play against each other. Then problems with control began again due to excitement. Your blood began to boil from the understanding that the guy would no longer help, but you really wanted to win.

✿ As expected, Jooyeon won the fight, which made him sad. But he began to persuade for the second round, in which he would of course give in to see the joy on the girlfriend face.

rapid fire shark bait thoughts!! (black fem mc/player)

gw and tiggy like rap and r&b for reasons of aesthetics and energy but tiggy also likes noise music and garage band music while gw likes heavy metal and maybe even dad rock

lee likes pop you can not debate me on this, argue with the wall. rhin likes classical music and instrumentals or indie songs with very beautiful and orchestral or levitating vocals and musical accompaniments.

gw at first doesn't take kindly to you stealing his nickname for tiggy but after finding out how much tiggy likes you then he cools off a bit... not to mention, he doesn't exactly hate you

tiggy with a human who is like cookie!? oh my gosh man, he has two people that he is trying to lay and just hasn't yet but he is excited to interact with them everytime.

gw faced with a human who is not just compassionate and kind but also vicious and confident?? theres a level of admiration there, not to mention one that's willing to fight for not just the council but the palace?? one that genuinely wants to be trained and has some promise?? no yeah you've got his attention

as a black girl, the ocean eyes thing read to me more as your eyes glowing or having a godly property not the color. so rhin being entranced by the glow that happens in your deep brown eyes?? when they turn to hazel, or a honey like gold when sunset hits them just right.

rhin x artist human??? and you both doodle together in your free time????? and he hangs up your little drawings of him and you!!! (can you tell i love this man?)

the council reacting to a human eating ice?? lee is ofc curious. aren't human teeth sensitive? tiggy thinks it's cool and cute. done out of nowhere?? they're caught off guard when they hear random crunching and it's not coming from tigs.

"Come on Tigs, you can't possibly be-" GW was about to get onto him for finding something he shouldn't be sinking his teeth into but upon seeing nothing in his friends mouth and his jaw not moving the whole room is quiet, til they hear the crunching noise again. Their eyes all land on you as you sit there with a glass of ice, graciously gifted by your god, smiling at them with a closed mouth. "Snack? Are you-" You cut Tiggy off by chewing on the ice again then swallowing down before eating some more. Which makes his eyes light up, GW laugh, Lee look on in curiosity and Rhin looking at you with a bit of his own smile and mild concerns.

a human with peg laterals?? (i have a pair and they look like fangs) ong tiggy think's it is too damn cute. don?! no yeah she's so fascinated and finds it just as cute

Lee would never ask out right but it something he noticed whenever you said certain words. As attentive as Rhin is, he noticed it too but decided to say nothing since you never brought it up. Him and Lee did do research though, and once word somehow got to Tiggy... "You have fangs, snack?!" He blurts out in the meeting room, if anything this was more like a final address or order of business for them, a curiosity to put to rest. "Yeah!" They didn't expect you to show them off so proudly, or press you fingers into them but when you showed them they're practically harmless compared to theirs then they weren't as worried. "I call them my baby fangs!" And once you said that, each of them fell in love a little bit more.

HUMAN THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE NERD ON SHARK CULTURE??! Every shark would be impressed you can say their actual name. Lee, Rhin and Don may be the only ones who you could chat with about themselves and their (by extension and connections) your friends endlessly. Lee would be the one to always enjoy it though.

"MEGALODON!!" The whole room goes quiet trying to see how Don would react. GW prayed the witch wouldn't go for you instead of him, he did start it afterall. Lee hoped that she'd understand the sparkle in your eyes the same way she took an understanding to his intrest of knowing and understanding everything. Rhin had faith in her but was prepared to defend you by any means necessary. Tiggy was trying to hold in a laugh, as cute and funny as it was his snack's life could be in danger. That is until she walks over calmly with a smile and says "Why do you say my name with such joy little human?" "Because you're an ancient shark!! and you're so pretty!! and it's so cool!! You're much older than GW! you'd be like his great aunt, despite not being directly related the few similarites is enough to-" You only stopped because she carefully picked you up to hold you, she was a very pretty giant woman. "How cute, you have a very clever mind and sweet words too little human."

COOKIE MEETING A HUMAN WITH SKIN LIKE HER'S??? well i mean i dont have vitiligo but omg the bonding?

now as far as the brown skin? then oh that too! and both girls??? (me and cookie are best friends, i braid her hair and put it in styles my hair used to be in on land and in trade she tries to do it for me when she's not so busy)

DON WANTING TO DO MY HAIR BECAUSE SHE GETS TO DOTE ON A HUMAN AND THIS LITTLE HUMAN NEEDS ACTUAL HAIR CARE?!?!?!?

please listen to me, sitting in that tall woman's lap as she gives me mermaid braids, jellyfish braids, bantu knots??? and then she can do it with cookie!!!? GIRLS NIGHT!!!

just dance/dance central battles with lee??? with the gang???? dont ask how, magic, but oh my gosh wouldn't it be so much fun.

rhin hearing you sing, singing for lee after the doctor does whatever tf after your warning, and both of them coming together to have a mini audience of the council by your bedroom door to hear you?

sure you might not be trained or a professional but they love it anyway

ok super long super old genshin sketchdump ft. commentary under the cut whee

(from nov. 2021) something I did as a warmup/pose practice I think

(from dec. 2021) warmups/plannings for a christmas present I was gonna draw for a friend but never ended up doing. if you're reading this uhh sorry lol

part of me misses how clean(?) my art was back here. I feel like the more solid brush helped with line confidence and defining shapes. I should go back to sketching in micron pen at some point because I also did that for awhile way back when

(from jan. 2022) a batch of instagram requests I never finished. and then I dropped instagram like a sack of wet bricks.

(from apr. 2022) sucrose side-profile I did as a brush test that I still think is cutes

(also apr. 2022) yancrose. my beloveds.

(apr. 2022 again) loved the headcanon back in the day that sucrose and dottore were related somehow. I liked the idea that they were penpals

(from may 2022) doodle of that one product collab casual/modern sucrose design

(from oct. 2022) layla sketch ft. lighting practice/brush test I think? shoutouts to layla. love layla. would've drawn her more but sumeru was around the time I got a bit burnt out on the game for reasons related to the company's blatant colorism and dogshit fandom behavior

(from dec. 2022) an attempt at a yanfei redesign to make her look more lawyer-ly. I still really like how I did the top half but the bottom half looks a bit busy even for genshin standards

(from may 2023) sketch ft. the aforementioned redesign. face looks wonky and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I gave up

(also may 2023) more sketches ft. the redesign as a way to get myself back into using csp because I had been artblocked and using mspaint for the past couple months at that point

(from jun. 2023) a couple of demon-y furina sketches based off the idea that her name meant 'the fury of fontaine'. I still believe in sharkteeth furina

(from aug. 2023) another furina based off that one part in the archon quest where she goes "stop staring at me". I did actually try to fully finish this one but I hated the final product a LOT so I gave up

--

this next portion is traditional sketches so they don't have as-precise dates. most of them are from arooound mid 2023? during my last semester of college

I think these were me trying to redesign sucrose to make her easier to draw/give her an outfit that makes sense and looks like actual clothes.

more yanfeis + flustered sucrose

hu tao doodled in drawing class instead of paying attention during note-taking

and finally. small sleepy yancrose moment. my beloveds.

I feel like I've slowed down so much with art the past couple years which makes me sad. I blame employment.

2024 Art Summary

It's crazy that another year has passed just like that and now, in the blink, 2024 is over and 2025 is on the horizon.

I had a crazy busy year on the personal life level, so unfortunately I didn't find much time to do drawing or my creative hobbies as much as I did in 2023. Nonetheless, I'm particularly proud of myself venturing to do more backgrounds and I've greatly improved in lighting and the use of filters, as well as in drawing hands -- which is something I greatly struggled with in the past.

Going through the months:

January: Moon's Tides (Lei) - I drew this when I was really saddened by some of my friendships. I think this piece really conveyed the loneliness and I felt at the time, and I'm very proud of the lighting and the background. The moon seems to be about to swallow Lei, along with the waves.

February: Lei in the city (redraw) - This was supposed to be 1 year redraw from my first illustration of Lei back in Jan 2023! I drew the sketch in January but ended up finishing in February... oops. I think it's so cool to see the improvement that I made in 1 year ;w; I hope I can redraw it again in 2025 but that's coming up real fast huh 💀

March: Fern in a never-posted postcard print I drew of the Frieren trio in their winter outfits. I printed some fanart but it unfortunately never sold so I lost confidence :') I never posted this piece. I might try to redraw it next year. I really like the Frieren's trio's winter outfits.

April: Birthday Ceres! I was really busy this month and didn't get much drawing done T_T but I did draw birthday Ceres WITH A HAND!!! OMG!!! I also drew a cool-lighting piece with Umbra but her face is wonky so I don't like that piece as much. I think Ceres turned out SOOOOO cute here and her expression is sOOO pretty! Someone said she looked like a goddess and they're so right

May: future Lei piece in front of her clinic. I love this piece so much 🥺 A future Lei working in her clinic with her friends. It's named ELC which stands for Elise, Lei and Ceres 🥺🥺🥺 In my headcanon, Gigi works there too 🥺🥺 I think her expression is really pretty and I love her outfit LOL its not very practical but... FASHIONNNN

June: The mermaid piece I intended to draw for mermay but didn't finish in time T_T This piece made me think of a mermaid AU for MERtalline LOL In this AU Vail is a surfer and Lei + doctor friends are mermaids :3 Unfortunately Leii got washed up ashore and landed into a very confused Vail's lap. I'm soooo proud of this piece and I think it's my master piece of 2025 with the lighting + two characters + BG??? I popped off frfr

July: I didn't do a lot personal art since Art Fight was taking place during this month! But I wanted to draw Gigi and so I did! I think I'm pretty decent at drawing beach BGs and I used a lot of references for that during the time! I think Gigi is so fun to draw but she's also intimidating because she needs to look very fierce and pretty at the same time

August: Another Gigi piece -- this time her bday art! In August, the main series I finished was the bunny girl series, but I think just in terms of technicality and style, the Gigi birthday piece I am a bit more proud of. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED my bunny girl series though! I made some stickers of them and I really want to finish the bunny girl sticker series T_T I drew Umbra, Lei, and Nekoya in it and I'm hoping to add Charlotte and Ceres but we'll see... I might redraw Umbra cuz she's hard to cut :'D

September: Another birthday art piece... My OC birthday series honestly slaps. This one is of Lei!!! Clearly I have a favourite this year and clearly it's Lei because she appears in all my favourite pieces 😭😭😭 She's my muse this year and might be for a bit of time ;w; Anyways I really think I improved in my drawing and my Sept 2023 vs Sept 2024 birthday art of her shows!!! I STRUGGLED so hard with that hand she's holding up so I'm so proud of myself for finishing it ;w; September was a bit rough for me personally but I'm glad I had more time to do my hobbies such as drawing

October: Started getting busy again but I managed to squeeze out this VERY CUTE headshot of my OC artemis!!! (aka timberwolf, aka cyberpunk nova but not nova) I think every hacker needs a bubblegum illustration and this is the one I gave her!!! I just really like her expression here and how I drew her hand! I wish I had more time to draw in October cuz it was OC-tober T_T there were so many cool prompts T_T but I lacked the time T_T maybe next year ;w;

November: I wanted to draw so many things in November but I was very busy dying TM. So unfortunately I didn't finish many WIPS I started :'D But ultimately I think the piece that is the most technically challenging was this one! I had fun with the intense red lighting and I think it portrays the sensation of unease/ portrays the mood I was going for very well :3 It features a new OC, Lei's cousin Althea. Because I love Lei and I keep expanding her lore XD

December: I got to draw a bit more in December but still not enough T_T so many OCs to draw + so many cool ideas but too little time cri. But I really wanted to draw some more holiday art esp after last year... cannot bear to look at it anymore orz. I originally drew a very cute sketch that featured all of Lei's friends but realized I couldn't draw so many characters in a short time... so I decided to draw just the Ceres sketch and with Lei :3 Because #besties. ANYWAYS in the end, I really like how this piece turned out and I played with layer masks a bit too! My favourite is the lil hidden detail in the otherwise simple BG -- Vail is taking the pic! It was fun to add that messy detail in :3

Some other cool things I'm going to post on instagram so I want to post here too

I don't know what future is in store for 2025, but I'm certain I will continue to draw my OCs for my indulgent self and continue to grow as an artist if I continue to draw. Thank you for continuing to support me, and I sincerely hope that I can fulfill some of my creative goals next year!

Hopefully starting with the Love, Lei visual novel :3 It's still in the plans; just haven't had the time to work on it yet 😭

Onwards to 2025! ✨

Hello lovelies! 💕

Here is my submission for @love-and-lore 's Winter Event!

I chose Nanami for this collab because he deserves all the happiness in the world. The theme is "hearth". The word symbolizes ones home and family evoking the feeling of warmth, love and security.

I hope I was able to capture that for Nanami.

Minors do not enter!!! Sfw/Fluff with just the right amount of sauciness ❤️‍🔥

Word Count : 900 words

Photos all sourced from pinterest

● The colder season is extra special to Nanami as it was around this time that he first met you. The cold weather, snowy roads and holiday décor that decorates the towns and cities all reminds him of that day when you changed his life forever.

● He likes to take you back to the place you met. A Café. Where he first laid eyes on you through that frosted front window. The holiday lights decorating the shop covered you in a yellow glow, painting you like a goddess. His feet moving before he could even think as he made his way across that icy street and walked into that little Café. The bell announced his entrance to the patrons inside drawing your attention to look away from your book where you sat. Warm drink in your hand, eyes landing on his ocean blue ones. Holding your gaze as he made his way to the counter. You watched, practically enamored as he scratched the back of his head and gave the worker his unprepared order. You sneaked a glance, admiring his side profile. Eyes just barely visible, hiding behind your book when suddenly he’s making his way towards you. “May I join you?” he asked you. His voice was confident but inside he was nervous as all hell. His heart hammering as he watched you give him a silent nod, mouth slightly parted with crumbs from your scone on your lip. The cuteness eases his heart just a little as he takes the empty seat before you, never having done something like this before and the rest is history.

● Nanami secretly looks forward to the colder seasons as you tend to be much more cuddly than your usual amount of affection he’s used to throughout the year. But you just can’t help it. He’s so warm and never gets cold. Unlike you with your icy feet. Doesn’t mind one bit that you latch yourself to him on the couch or on the bed but he forces you to put some socks on.

● Likes to lay in bed with you for as long as possible in the mornings looking out the window with you as the sun rises.

● He spends this season spoiling you a little extra. Buys you an overly excessive amount of flowers and has the entire apartment filled like a garden. You can’t do anything about it so you accept them.

● The colder weather means you tend to stay home more. Choosing to pick up coffee or boba and takeout before watching a movie at home and also trying to get him hooked on that show you’re so obsessed with. He covers you both with a heavy blanket on the couch letting you wrap yourself around him like you’re a puzzle peace.

● He loves to cook breakfast for you as often as possible. He’s honestly very good at making all your favorites.

● Nanami is not the type to just break out into a dance however if you happen to put on the right song he will take your hand gently and ask you for a dance right then and there in your living room. Pulls you in close as he takes the lead. His nose ghosting along your neck. His hand lifting your thigh to rest over his hip. His moves are so energetic and dominating over your frame. You expect him to kiss you while he has you tipped back, faces so close together but then he raises you back up and twirls you around before suddenly your back collides close with his chest and his hands are carefully outlining your form as you move your hips along with his, swaying to the beat. You’re stunned, body tingling because you had no idea that he even knew how to dance the tango.

● If you have to go into town he prefers to drive you whenever you need to go anywhere as the roads are much more dangerous. Feels safer if he’s the one driving you around for your errands or holiday shopping. Will absolutely carry all of your bags as you go from store to store.

● Comes home from work one day and sees an unfamiliar wreath hanging on his front door. Instantly he feels a warmth spread in his chest. He never had one of those growing up. Never bothered to buy one when he was living on his own. “Did you see the wreath I made us?” You ask excitedly as you watch him drop his work bag on the floor with a heavy thud. Watching as he wordlessly loosens his tie and raises up the sleeves of his dress shirt to his elbows. He looks so stern and deep in thought, you think maybe he had a bad day at work but suddenly he’s walking towards you with purpose. His expression practically melting as he looks to you and slams his lips on yours catching you by surprise as his hands grip you underneath your thighs and lifts you. His kisses practically become desperate. Blindly leading you both to your shared bedroom.

Hihi! For the ask meme, perhaps 4, 8 and 14?

Hey there! Aw, thank you for the questions! It's super rare to get asks like these, so it really made my day! 😇🙏

⭐️4. What defines your artistic style?

That's a good question!🤔 (Especially since I don't know how others might perceive my art!) Due to my own visual agnosia as well, it skews my perception of my own works... So I actually end up disliking the grand majority of the things I create tbh🤣 It's hard for me to become cognizant of any strengths due to the weaknesses being highlighted (in my skewed POV) sometimes! But from the comments I have kindly received before, I would say that my art is defined by: clean/polished lineart, round/"squishy" chibis, warm colors, and "an aura of softness/tenderness"! Truthfully, I would love to be known for having a well-rounded and versatile style! As in: switching from a dynamic + appealing full-body style to a charming chibi style with precision and confidence!💪 And in general: I'd like to be known for drawing handsome faces on full-body characters instead of only having a "cute" style tbh LOL

⭐️8. What is your favourite piece that you have done?

Oh man…For a self-critic, this is a tough yet great question too!!😂--There's usually elements of a picture I enjoy working on VS how the overall picture eventually turns out! But looking back at everything I've posted publicly so far on twitter from 2022-2023…I think it'd have to be these! ↓

And a special shout out to this Walter-Lucifer pseudo-fiend character turnaround sheet that started off as a "haha just messing around :^)" sketch but then quickly turned serious 2 days later LOL. I did like incorporating SMT4 Lucifer's Phase 2 wings on him, since the in-game design includes this gradient on the wings too. 😇🙏

⭐️14.What do you like drawing the most?

As a surprise to no one, my favorite thing to draw would be WalterJonathan---both the pairing and the individual characters LOL. There's actually a personal reason for this, but maybe that'll be a story for another time! Whether or not the majority of these (finished/ polished) sketches will ever see the light of day is also to be determined in the future...😂 Despite these canon Satan Husbands going through the many unspeakable horrors they suffer within base SMT4 + SMT4 Apoc's canon (and even the duology of the SMT4 manga's canon too!), I'll always prefer to draw them being sweet with each other...🥺 To at least give them a single soft moment of reprieve that they deserve...!😭🙏

↑ I also enjoy drawing the details of the SMT4 samurai coat/uniform! As well as other things and details like: 💙the SMT protags' COMPs + SMT4 Gauntlet 💙Clothing folds 💙Side profiles 💙Backside angles 💙Painting hair 💙Drawing hands 💙Dynamic chibis + dynamic body language in general (that convey a character's personality)

…and probably some more things I'm forgetting LOL.

💙↑ edit: I forgot how much I like sketching out Pokemon as quick warm-ups + other critters like the MOTHER/Earthbound Mr.Saturns too! It's good practice in understanding different shapes.

Again, thank you so much for the questions!🙏 It was fun to answer these!

⭐️⭐️⭐️It's still 12/31 here in my neck of the woods, so I wish you and everyone reading this a Happy New Year as well!
